Hamilton Other Non-Traditional Healthcare Disciplines
This section will discuss a number of other medical disciplines and treatments, often call "non-traditional" practices, even though some are based on traditions and practices that predate the Greek founder of formalized medicine, Hypocrates. Those areas are generally outside the usual practice of an MD.

Winning the Super Bowl didn't do much for the value of the Baltimore Ravens, at least according to Forbes magazine.
The team's now worth $1.22 billion, 6 percent more than last year's $1.16 billion, according to an annual calculation released Wednesday by the business magazine.
While that pushed the franchise, owned by Salisbury graduate and technology staffing entrepreneur Steve Bisciotti, from the 11th most-valuable team in the league to No. 9, the championship season did not result in a significant boost to revenue when compared with other teams.
The Dallas Cowboys, the most valuable team in the league at $2.3 billion, saw 10 percent growth in value, as did the New England Patriots.
The average increase was five percent, thanks largely to a 3.6 percent increase in league revenue delivering $286 million to each team.
The average NFL team is worth $1.17 billion, making it the most valuable league in the world according to Forbes, and teams operate with an average profit margin of 15.4 percent. The owners locked out the players in 2011 during a dispute about how revenue should be divided.

America East Women's Soccer All-Academic Team
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—UMBC junior midfielder Aly Gazarek (Aldie, Va./Freedom/South Florida) was selected to the America East All-Academic Team, the league announced Tuesday.
A senior academically after redshirting her true freshman season at University of South Florida, Gazarek maintains a 3.83 grade-point average as a psychology major. She has been recognized on the America East Commissioner's Honor Roll in each of her first two seasons at UMBC, and she has earned semester academic honors each term, including President's List for a perfect 4.0 GPA twice.
On the field, Gazarek has been one of UMBC's top defenders throughout her career. She has tallied one goal and three assists for five career points, including one assist this season, when she took nine shots in 16 games. In addition, she has started 46 of the 50 games in which she has played in her three years at UMBC.
Gazarek boasts the highest GPA of the 11 members of the women's soccer all-academic squad.
America East All-Academic squads for team sports are based on the number of athletes that participate in a contest at one time (e.g., 11 on the field for soccer) but can be more if there is a tie in the voting. To be nominated for the distinction, student-athletes must be a starter or important reserve for their team and participate in at least 50 percent of the team's games or competitions. In the classroom, student-athletes must have a 3.30 GPA and have completed at least one calendar year at their institution. Freshmen are not eligible for consideration. The all-academic teams are then voted on by a committee of SIDs, academic advisors and faculty representatives from all nine member institutions.

4 Ways to Regain Control of Your Food
Where is your food is from? What happened to it before it reached your plate? More people are asking these questions, in large part because it is increasingly difficult to answer them. We now know so little about our food, particularly its ecological and social impacts, that it's easy to feel like we've lost control over it.
The recent recall of eggs contaminated with Salmonella has underscored just how opaque the origins of our food have become. The accompanying diagram illustrates how eggs from just two farms in Iowa were sold in 22 states under more than 40 different brands. Other food recalls, such as peanuts contaminated with Salmonella in 2008-2009, and spinach contaminated with E. coli O157:H7 in 2006, revealed similar patterns: dozens of different brands packaged in one processing plant, which were then shipped across the country, or even internationally.
Unfortunately, in the absence of a recall, we have no way of knowing who is really producing foods like these. Companies that own the brand names are becoming less involved in farming, processing, and packing. Like the shoe company Nike, these "virtual" food companies may contract out the production, focusing instead on the marketing aspects of their business. They frequently keep the name and location of the producers a trade secret to prevent competitors from learning where they source their products. This confidentiality could be considered excessive, when recalls illustrate that so few facilities are now responsible for producing so much of our food. Two companies control approximately 80 percent of the bagged salad market in the United States, for example, despite the appearance of many more "competing" brands on retailer shelves.
The challenge of consolidation
The number of firms responsible for producing most of the food consumed in the United States gets smaller every year. This consolidation is a result of the largest companies buying out their closest competitors, with many of the remaining companies going out of business. The result is that markets become less competitive, giving dominant companies the power to artificially raise prices for consumers—or lower the prices they pay farmers and other suppliers.
In addition to this economic impact, consolidation gives a rapidly shrinking minority the power to determine other aspects of food production, such as how food is produced; how much is produced; where it is grown, processed, transported, and sold; and ultimately, who gets to eat. And, as the recent egg recall taught us, an overly consolidated food system makes the whole country vulnerable to the dangerous practices of just a few farms.
There are alternatives to this highly consolidated food system, though some of the most successful are now threatened by consolidation, as well. Organic food, for example, is intended to promote more ecologically sustainable production practices. But as organic became more mainstream, it attracted the interest of multinational corporations. Scores of pioneering organic brands were acquired by these corporations, starting in the late 1990s, though very few make these ownership ties apparent on their labels. As a result, while "organic" remains a less chemical intensive alternative to conventional agriculture, the label may fall short for other ethical ideals. Organic foods may still be heavily packaged, highly processed, shipped thousands of miles, and produced by exploited laborers.
What can you do regain control of the food you eat?
There are many possibilities, ranging from becoming more informed about the products at your local supermarket to growing your own food.
Research the companies behind your food.
One tool for becoming more informed is GoodGuide. This searchable website has a large and growing database of food products, each one scored according to its health, environmental, and social impacts. There is even an application that allows you to scan a barcode with a mobile device to look up ratings on that product. GoodGuide also provides corporate ownership information for most items. Although this won't necessarily tell you who really produced it, or where, it will let you know which companies you're supporting with your purchases.
Another source of information on corporate ownership specifically for organic foods is a series of graphics that can be found on my website. They show the consolidation and "stealth ownership" that has occurred in the organic food processing industry, as well as the distribution and retail sectors. If you are interested in supporting independent organic food producers see the sidebar for a list of major North American brands. These companies are frequently presented with lucrative buyout offers, but have remained committed to maintaining control of their business.
Pay attention to labels
In addition to organic, there are other ecolabels that represent standards less typically embodied in food production. Some of these include Fair Trade, Biodynamic, American Grassfed, and several third-party certified humane labels. Although not all of these standards preclude large-scale operations, they will provide you with more information about some of the ethical implications of your purchases.
Join a food co-op
A good place to find ecolabeled foods is a retail food cooperative, or cooperative buying club. While some of the products they carry have ties to multinational corporations, as a member-owner of your cooperative you have more control over what is sold, as well as a greater voice when communicating with food producers than you would on your own.
Cooperatives have historically supported local food producers, and remain some of the best places to find products made by small farmers and food processors. Recently, however, more mainstream retailers have started emphasizing their supply of local foods. Even Wal-Mart is joining this trend. The demand for local foods is rising for many reasons, including interest in freshness, taste, supporting local economies, protecting green space, reducing fossil fuel consumption, and simply knowing more about where our food is from. But "local" is not as carefully monitored as some other ecolabels, so maintain a healthy degree of skepticism and ask for more details when such claims are vague.
Know (or be) your farmer
To find out even more about your food, talk directly to the producer. Ways to do this include buying a share of a farm (Community Supported Agriculture), shopping at farmers' markets or roadside stands, or picking the produce yourself. Two great sources for finding these types of farms or markets in your area are LocalHarvest and PickYourOwn.
The surest way to know how your food was produced is to grow your own. Even the smallest indoor spaces can grow sprouts or a small herb garden. Of course, the seed industry has also become highly consolidated, but you can find lists of independent companies, or companies that have pledged not to buy or sell genetically engineered seeds.
In our current food system, finding out where your food is from is not easy. In fact, some journalists and documentary filmmakers have made successful careers of becoming "food detectives," and informing their audiences of the stories behind the food on their plates. You may not want to go that far yourself. But taking small steps to learn more, buy directly from food producers, or even grow some of your own food, can add up to quite a bit more control.

Companies and small businesses today have a lot of options when it comes to marketing and promoting their brand. It's not just about going door to door, doing TV and radio advertising campaigns, or distributing fliers at your local grocery store. Now you have various other options such as creating a website, starting a blog, making a page in different social networking sites, and so on. It's about visibility and the Internet is currently the place where most people spend a lot of their time.
There are so many ways you can promote your brand on the web. There's Facebook and Twitter, and the fast growing site- Pinterest. There's LinkedIn, there's Google+, and don't forget SEO to ensure that you dominate the search engines. You can create websites, blogs, and join popular article sites such as EzineArticles. You can utilize well-placed online ads that will (hopefully) get clicked on. And you can use popular tools such as gaming and couponing in order to entice customers to buy from you or obtain the services you're offering.
Games existed offline first
Though online gaming may sound a bit childish to you, many people continue to enjoy online games, even middle aged adults. Games are a great way to kick back, relax, and just let yourself forget about everything even for a little while. It's also an excellent way to have fun, to challenge yourself, to compete against others, and even to bond with people. Games and contests are a great way to promote your brand. After all, who wouldn't want to win in a contest?
Couponing – can be good and bad
Couponing has also become extremely popular among the public today. With the advent of Groupon and FourSquare, everyone now enjoys looking for the best deals when it comes to brands they love as well as the brands they want to try out. It's a great way to gain exposure for your brand, as many people simply can't resist a good deal. There's just something irresistible about getting 50% off a new restaurant, or 30% off a nice dress.
As a small business owner, if you're looking into using gaming and couponing in marketing your brand, then you should definitely consider using Fanplayr. Fanplayr.com gives you the ability to add coupons and offer gamification in your social marketing mix. It offers an excellent and innovative way to attract and engage your customers.
Fanplayr – A resource for you
Social marketing has quickly become the most popular way of promoting your brand. Everything has become "social" these days, as more and more people use social networking sites to with their friends, play games, use apps, connect with their favorite brands, and so on.
Fanplayr provides you the ability to engage with your audience through gamification and couponing across different platforms. And the best part is, you don't have to be a programmer or developer to start creating your own gaming and couponing campaign. In less than 15 minutes, you can set up a coupon game that you could place on your website, include in your newsletter, share on Facebook, and offer on mobile. It's that simple.
Fanplayr also recently announced that it has entered into partnership with Ifeelgoods so it can bring Facebook credits to "smart and targeted" social offers and coupons. This empowers Magenta merchants all over the world by being able to benefit from low-cost Facebook credits in order to get better returns on their offers and coupons.
Feeling rewarded and engaged
Your brand promotion and messaging can become boring if you don't mix it up, which is why using gaming and couponing can definitely capture your customer's attention. Both small businesses and large companies can utilize this feature in order to engage and connect with consumers better. Customers feel rewarded when they play the game and then win the prize of a coupon that they can redeem when they like.
When it comes to social marketing, it's really about finding the best ways to enhance your brand and engage with your consumers. Since there are so many other brands that offer the same or similar products or services, it's vital for you to stand out and differentiate yourself by offering fun and unique things to your customers.
Fanplayr in partnership with Ifeelgoods definitely offers some interesting options for small business owners who want to offer their customers something new. Don't limit yourself to traditional marketing campaigns that may end up boring your customers. Add new and interesting offers, such as gaming and couponing to connect with them further.

Local governments are able to allocate funds out of the budget for the discretional use by councillors. These funds are called councillor discretionary funds.
Notifying the community
Section 202 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 and section 194 of the City of Brisbane Regulation 2012 require that local government publish a notice on its website and in a visible place in its public office within 20 days after adopting the budget advising:
- the amount of discretionary funds allocated to each councillor for the year
- that community organisations may apply for allocation of the funds
- how community organisations can apply for funds.
Use of discretionary funds
Councillors may use their discretionary funds in any of the following ways:
- to spend on a community purpose
- to allocate for capital works that are for a community purpose
- to allocate to a community organisation.
Where a councillor wants to allocate some of their discretionary funds to a community organisation, the councillor must do so in accordance with the requirements of the discretionary funds notice and the local government's grants to community organisations policy.
Where a councillor intends to allocate some of their discretionary funds for capital works, the councillor must seek the approval of:
- the deputy mayor and the chief executive officer (if the councillor is the mayor)
- the mayor and the chief executive officer (councillors other than the mayor).
When considering whether to approve a proposal to allocate discretionary funds for capital works, the mayor, deputy mayor and chief executive officer must consider how the proposal fits in with the local government's corporate plan, long term asset management plan and annual budget.
Reporting to the community
After a councillor has spent money from their discretionary funds, a notice must be published as soon as practicable on the website and in a noticeable place in the local government's public office stating the amount and purpose for which the money was spent and, if the money was given to a community organisation, the name of the organisation.
The local government is also required to list all grants to community organisations made out of councillor discretionary funds and the purpose of the grants in its annual report for the year.
Visit the community grants policy web page for more information on issues to consider when developing the policy.

Mobile malware targeting Android, iPhones, says Kaspersky Lab expert
Mobile malware has been increasing in scope and intensity explains Denis Maslennikov, senior malware analyst on Kaspersky Lab's global research and analysis team. In this video at RSA Conference 2011, Maslennikov explains some of the current malware targeting smartphones and predicts that cybercriminals will find smartphone attacks a major cash cow in the near future.
Read the full text transcript from this video below. Please note the full transcript is for reference only and may include limited inaccuracies. To suggest a transcript correction, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Mobile malware targeting Android, iPhones, says Kaspersky Lab expert
Interviewer: So Denis thanks very much for taking time out to talk.
Denis Maslennikov: Hi, thanks.
Interviewer: The last few years we've been hearing more and more about mobile
malware, and I'm wondering if you can briefly describe some of the growth
that we're seeing with the Trojans right now, as it relates to Mobile.
Denis Maslennikov: The whole situation briefly first of all we should mention the fact that today
almost all pieces of mobile malware are commercialized, the same as PC malware. So
it means that cyber criminals create mobile malware for making illegal
profits. Today, the majority of all malware we discover are SMS Trojans, so these
are malicious applications which are trying to send SMS messages to premium
rate numbers. So the user loses money and the cyber criminals earn money.
Another example is dialing trojans. These are malicious applications which
dial international premium rate numbers, so the user loses money and the
cyber criminals earn money.
Interviewer: For example a Trojan will end up on somebody's phone and will
make them dial a 1-900 number.
Denis Maslennikov: Yes, in August they tried to hide this security and
sometimes they dial not very often. Because for example at the end of the
month you'll receive a huge phone bill with a lot of like positions, with a
lot of numbers you have dialed, with a lot of numbers you have SMS'd and
probably they are counting on your not noticing some accidental
international premium rate numbers dialing, which will cost you $10 a
month. For example, Trojan will dial an international premium rate number
once a month and the call will cost you $10. Probably at the end of the
month you won't notice it's Symbian.
Interviewer: You mentioned Symbian. Has it primarily been Symbian that has
been attacked at this point because Symbian even though it's kind of
losing ground to a lot of the Smart phone platforms, it still has a pretty
dominant market share, right?
Denis Maslennikov: Yes, Symbian still has at least about 40% of the market, of all
operating systems market share on mobile platforms. But the majority of all
SMS trojans are Java to Micro Edition, J to ME. The reason is really
obvious. We have seen them. We have Windows mobile, we have android, we
have Blackberry, we have, let's say IOS. So we've got a lot of operating
systems, and there is no main targeting platform like Windows on desktops.
But J to ME, Java to Micro Edition, is supported by simple cell phones,
simple mobile phones, by simple Smart phones, by Windows mobile Smart
phones. It can be supported by Android Smart phones, if the user installs
Java to Micro Edition interpreter. And the main goal of cyber criminals is
to target as many devices as possible. So that's why they choose this
technology which is let's say so called "cross platform." They create these
primitive malicious applications which are really restricted, but still
users unload them, users install them and users continue to lose money.
Interviewer: Apple has its own App store. Android now has its own App store,
and we'll talk about that in a minute because I know you've done some
research, or had some findings with the Android store. But are these
applications vetted very well, when they go through these stores and is
that a possible attack vector for malware?
Denis Maslennikov: Well we can't say for example that the Apple store or Android
market place or Windows market place are 100% secure. It's impossible to
say. There is always a probability that malware somehow will appear in the
Apple store or in the Android market place. There was some research made by
other companies, which told of the fact that a lot of applications. For
example in the Android market are using a lot of really let's say critical
functions or critical system calls. For example, if you install something
from Android you will see the specifications or which system functions the
applications require. And for example, I'm pretty sure the user will
understand the fact that if the GPS application requires GPS success it's
okay. But if for example, a video player requires SMS sending functions or
I don't know, phone book access, it's really suspicious so by reading the
specifications and maybe thinking a bit about them it's a good idea to
prevent the installation of suspicious applications because for example
there was one case in the beginning of 2010, when about 30 of online
banking applications appeared on the Android market. All of them were
created for different banks. All of them were created by one developer.
Interviewer: But listen, technically, they weren't supposed to be malicious
in nature. Right?
Denis Maslennikov: No one knows whether they were malicious or not because no one
from the anti-virus companies had a chance to download them because Google
deleted them. We don't know. But still it's very suspicious when 30 online
banking applications are sold for $1 each and all were developed by one guy
and there's no information about him. There's only his nickname, Zero Nine
Droid and that's all.
Interviewer: I saw some research that you did or something that you wrote
about the Google Android market allowing to people to do remote
installs of some of these applications.
Denis Maslennikov: As far as I understood, it's an official feature of the Android
Interviewer: It's still in place.
Denis Maslennikov: Yes and the point is that it's easy to find on the underground
forums for example, I'm selling 10,000 GMail accounts and for example,
imagine even if 10 or 100 from this 10,000 selling GMail accounts are used
also on Android Smart phones. It means that anyone can install any
application from the market from the device and the user probably will not
notice anything because there will be an identification only on the top of
the Android device. The user's smart phone is located somewhere in the bag
or on the table and the user at this time is somewhere on the street. He
won't notice it and it means that any application from the market can be
installed and imagine what is going to happen if a malicious application
would be on the market place.
Interviewer: You know, out of all the different attacks that we talked about,
all of the different kinds of mobile malware we talked about, a lot of them
involve user interaction in some way. I'm curious about your thoughts on
the fragmented mobile market. We have Windows phones now making their way
into the market. Apple has a large market share, Android has got a huge
market share. Is it really worth it for cyber criminals to get into this
business, when they have to worry about multiple platforms and multiple
kinds of handsets?
Denis Maslennikov: Well in cyber criminals opinion as far as I see it is worth it.
Interviewer: It is. So you think there is money to be made here?
Denis Maslennikov: There are millions of dollars that were made by the mobile malware.
Just off topic have you visited my today's presentation?
Interviewer: No.
Denis Maslennikov: I can send you a copy if you have questions about all the data and
all the things which are posted there. You can write me an e-mail and I
will explain everything. But it has been proven, For example, in Russia,
only in Russia, one mobile cyber criminal group caused financial damage for
users about $1.2 million per month. So it is worth it.

It was different this year. Different, in an oh-so-wonderful kind of way.
Christmas took its same course of stress and scrambling to make sure I got everyone something thoughtful and nice, sticky notes of who is cooking what, messages of what time we need to be where and remember to tell grandma an hour earlier because you know she'll be late. A joyful frenzy builds through December, to a day that is, well, joyful and frenzied? Hugh and I were able to spend time with everyone, chased around our adorable niece, bundled up for church outside, stayed up super late laughing and chatting with each other; I made undercooked french toast for my family, got a vacuum from Santa, and soaked it in. The holidays are some of the sweetest and funniest times with my family, and having a sparkly new husband to enjoy everything with, made it even better. We got home late Christmas night after talking all day, and I told Hugh the presents were nice, but my favorite part is just the time. We don't often have days with no where else to be than where you are, doing just what you're doing. You've got to savor days like that.
So here we are again, a bit overloaded on sweets and craving foods on the lighter side. This salad is so tasty and gorgeous with all the contrasts of color. Little bit of crunch from the pomegranates and pistachios, and just a subtle touch of coconut in the quinoa. I've been eating leftovers with an egg on top, and I think it'd work well with just about any protein.
May the rest of your holiday season be full of the giving and taking of time.
COCONUT QUINOA + SPINACH SALAD // Serves 6 as a side
I know some are still wary of using raw spinach, and I think arugula would be great as well, maybe just use a bit less as it's a bit stronger in flavor.
1 Cup Quinoa
1 Cup Light Coconut Milk
1/3 Cup Vegetable Broth or Water
2 Large Shallots
2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil*
1 Cup Fresh Pomegranate Seeds
4 Cups-ish Organic Baby Spinach
1/2 Cup Toasted Pistachio Nuts
2 Tbsp. Orange Juice**
2 tsp. Fresh Thyme or 1 tsp. Dried Thyme
3 Tbsp. Olive Oil (I used a lemon infused olive oil - SO good)
1. In a small pot, combine the quinoa, coconut milk, water and a pinch of salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, this will take about 10-12 minutes. Empty quinoa into a bowl and allow to cool.
2. Slice the shallots width wise into thin coins. Heat up the oil in a 8-10'' saute pan (you don't have many to crisp up). * If you don't have coconut oil on hand, canola oil will work as an alternative, it's just not that great for you. Once it's just shimmering, add in the slice shallots. Stand by them, as they'll burn quickly. They will dance around a bit, and once you see the edges turn golden flip them over or move them around. Set up a double layer of paper towels, remove the shallots just as they turn brown and drain on the paper towels.
3. In a small bowl, mix the orange juice, thyme, olive oil and generous pinches of salt and pepper. **Any citrus would work - lemon, lime...whatever is on hand.
4. You want to make sure the quinoa is room temperature before you toss, or it will wilt the spinach, and we don't want that. Maybe you do, but I don't. In a salad bowl, toss the spinach, half of the cooked quinoa, half of the pom seeds and half of the pistachios with desired amount of dressing. Your choice as to what ratio you want, you can save the rest of the quinoa for later, or toss it in, again, the ratios are up to you. Garnish the top with the rest of the pom seeds, pistachios and all of your crispy shallots. Little grind of fresh pepper and enjoy.

Anyone else looking forward to Stonedar and Rokkon? This time around, I think they should be full figures with snap-on rock plates.

HELP! The Devil's in my Car!!The B-52's
I am!! Stonedar & Rokkon used to be among my Top 5 favourite heroes (together with Moss-Man, Fisto and Sy-Klone) back in the 80s! I'm so looking forward to getting a redesign of them!!

I am too. I used to have Stonedar when I was a child.
Those are the figures I am waiting MOST anxiously. It would be a dream come true to see them re-done.

My marketplace feedback
To be honest, not really. I had them, but didn't really play with them. They were too floppy for me. If that can be fixed, maybe somewhat like the custom done by MOTUspawn, I could be down with that.
Meh, I`ll buy them if they are made but they are not crucial elements to MOTUC, Theres a ton of other I`d like to see made before those 2 Transformers wannabe`s lol or were they Go Bot wanna be`s?
Wanna try something new? visit http://adam032010.proboards.com/index.cgi!!
My .org feedback thread: http://he-man.org/forums/boards/showthread.php?t=71883
I am, I have vintage versions of Stonedar and Rokkon!
Honestly? No, not at all.
Yes!! I loved the Rock People! I can't wait to see MotU Classics versions of the two!
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
stonedar is in my top 3, along with spikor and modulok. very much looking forward to them!!
I am. As I've mentioned a couple of times, I really want to see some characters who didn't get a figure in the 200X line, my Stonedar looks a bit small next to my MOTUC and 200X figures!
Tweet Me!
I've just changed my profile picture because we got Geldor in MOTUC!
I'm looking forward to the Rock People too, but won't be expecting them for at least 5 years!
Wasn't there a female rock person??? Was she created by Mattel or Filmation??
I think they should have removable rock armor:
HELP! The Devil's in my Car!!The B-52's
And then NECA and the Horsemen started belting out the most amazing stactions ever, and I thought "Well, maybe I'll get at least one of them this way...", and it never came to pass.
So now we have MOTUC, and they BETTER DAMN WELL make Rokkon and/or Stonedar (but preferably BOTH!)
At least we've heard ToyGuru at least mention the rock people for the new line. I doubt they were even considered at all for the 2002 relaunch.
As for the female Rock Warrior-
Filmation gave us Granita.
BUT, the mini-comics did indeed show a female rock warrior (unnamed and not the same design as Granita in the cartoon), so it's indeed possible that Mattel could churn out a female rock warrior character (but is it likely?).
I want NA Skeletor and Rio Blast and I want them now!
Unfortunately Granita is not an option. If they put out a female rock warrior, she'll definitely have a different name cause the one that shows up in the mini-comic never got named.
I hope they make her though. I feel the Rock warriors need her. Thanks to Filmation only having Stondar and Rokkon in the collection will feel kind of incomplete.
Besides her design on this comic is pretty cool. I'd be fine with that. Don't know about you.
Maybe they could use Granita's colors on her, who knows.
I wouldn't mind them, but way after some better ones.
Snap-On Rock armor would totally rocks BIGTIME! It won't even bother the awesome articulation that way!
And maybe we'll get Granita this time around!

I love the rock doods, and I would really like to see them. I think they are a great example of the uniqueness that makes motu what it is.
At least one of 'em, and I kinduh like Rokkon, but Stonedar is col too.
I'm looking forward to them as well...
I remember getting the Rock People while vacationing in San Diego as a kiddo. (We went sailing on Mr. Caselli's boat and I also got a Pound Puppy-I named him Doozer.) The snap-on armor is a nifty idea, too. Man, I want Rock People STAT!
MOTUC Most Wanted: Skeleteen, Prince Keldor, Captain Randor, The Great Black Wizard, Lady Slither, Spirit, Tuvar, Baddra, Cursed Marzo, Tug-O-War, Scrollos, Songster, Mini-Comics Spirit of Castle Grayskull, and for the love of the Sorceress and Julie Winston, ODIPHUS!!!

I'd like Granita too, and Jewelstar, and that female rock warrior in the minicomics. Heck, that's 3 female rock warrior characters for one body! Hopefully Mattel will make these soon.

Kitty Knitting
Just add a couple hundred Christmas lights, and you'll have the Griswalds' Christmas vacation! Hah.So, on the needles. Or to be more precise, on the hook. I'm almost done with the crocheted project "Zaubertote" from the book "Sock Yarn One Skein Wonders." Only problem is, one skein of the Zauberball wasn't enough despite the book title, and it costs $19.99 per ball, so now instead of a basic $20 tote, I'll have a $40 tote! I'd better get lots of use out of it. At least I'm having fun crocheting for a break from knitting. And the yarn color changes are awesome, shades of purple, pink and orange.Once the tote is done, I'll return to the shawl I'm knitting, the Water Turtles Shawl from the book "Wrapped in Comfort." It's going slowly as each row is so long, and it's hard to see the pattern yet as it's only 6 or 8 inches long. It'll be a challenge to block, I suspect.What's on your needles…or hook?

Athletes! Listen up! If you must bring a groupie back to your hotel room, don't leave her in there alone. She will take photos of everything and share them with the world.
A hotel key! I wonder how she got that?
Our mystery woman, by the way, is Ashley Nichelle Davis, a "model/actress/future lawyer," who claims that the photos were leaked by an "ex-friend."
This is McFadden's player pass. It'll get him into the stadium, which may or may not be where he was when these photos were taken. I'm going to assume he wasn't in the hotel room at the time, because of the next item on our tour.
Okay, now that's fucked up. A photo of McFadden and the mother of his child, with whom he's still in a relationship.
Some bling. "Five-0-1 Boy" refers to the area code in North Little Rock, where McFadden grew up.
A box of memorabilia.
A Raiders hat. Hologram sticker still on the brim. Is that still cool?
Assorted signed items. Because every groupie needs a parting gift.
And here's Run DMC himself, in a self-photo that's so trendy among athletes these days.

Fukushima radiation could reach Pacific coast by April
(02-26) 11:38 PST SAN FRANCISCO -- Radiation from the Fukushima nuclear disaster has not yet reached ocean waters along the Pacific coast, but low levels of radioactive cesium from the stricken Japanese power plant could arrive by April, scientists reported Monday.
The report came even as some Internet sites continue claiming that dangerously radioactive ocean water from Fukushima is showing up along California beaches - reports that have been denied by health officials and scientists since they first surfaced more than a month ago.
Ken Buesseler, a chemical oceanographer at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, Mass., reported that four coastal monitoring sites in California and Washington have detected no traces of radiation from the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant destruction - "not yet," he said during a telephone press briefing.
The briefing took place in Honolulu during a meeting of the American Geophysical Union's Ocean Sciences section. The meeting is being held with scientists from both sides of the Pacific to discuss problems caused anywhere in the Pacific by the offshore earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan on March 11, 2011.
Buesseler said no federal or international agencies are monitoring ocean waters from Fukushima on this side of the Pacific, so he has organized volunteer monitors at 16 sites along the California and Washington coasts and two in Hawaii to collect seawater in 20-liter specialized plastic containers and ship them by UPS to his Woods Hole laboratory.
Two specific radioactive isotopes of the element cesium are formed in nuclear accidents, he explained.
One is cesium-137, whose radioactivity decays very slowly - its half-life is 30 years - while the other is cesium-134, which decays rapidly with a two-year half-life. So while cesium-137 is still detectable in the world's oceans from old nuclear-weapons tests, any traces of cesium-134 that are detected by monitoring instruments could only have come from the Fukushima nuclear accident, Buesseler said.
According to a widely accepted model of the oceans' circulation patterns, traces of the plume of radioactive seawater from Fukushima should be detectable along the Pacific coast in April.
"We need to know the real levels of radiation coming at us," said Bing Gong, a retired accountant and self-described activist at Point Reyes Station who has volunteered to collect ocean samples for Buesseler's project. "There's so much disinformation out there, and we really need actual data."
Roger Gilbert, a physician and radiation oncologist who collected water at Fort Bragg along the Mendocino County coast, said he got involved in Buesseler's monitoring project because he is concerned "over fear-mongering on the Internet about allegedly high levels of Fukushima radiation in California's coastal waters."

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have carried out a clinical trial in which patients with metastatic melanoma were given chemotherapy and an immunotherapy of adoptive cell transfer (ACT) with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL). Tumor tissues were surgically removed from patients, minced and grown in culture. The treatment combined chemotherapy, then ACT with TIL, followed by interleukin-2 (IL-2). The combination therapy drew a high response rate from some patients.
The study appears in the October issue of the Journal of Immunotherapy.
"Our purpose was to demonstrate the feasibility of performing TIL growth and the efficacy of ACT TIL therapy using techniques developed at the National Cancer Institute," said Amod Sarnaik, M.D., assistant member of the Cutaneous Oncology Department at Moffitt. "Combining chemotherapy with ACT and high dose IL-2 resulted in a 38 percent objective response rate in patients with metastatic melanoma."
"Although our clinical study successfully met its goal of demonstrating that ACT TIL therapy could be offered to advanced melanoma patients, strategies to improve on its feasibility and efficacy are under way," said Shari A. Pilon-Thomas, Ph.D., assistant member of the Immunology Program at Moffitt. "Combination therapies that enhance the proliferation and function of TIL are being explored."
A second-generation ACT TIL trial is enrolling patients at Moffitt. For more, patients can go to the trial website or call Moffitt at 813-745-4279.

Willoughby Way Residence is a luxurious contemporary home that honors its site on Red Mountain in Aspen, Colorado, designed by Charles Cunniffe Architects in conjunction with interior designer firm Pembrooke & Ives. With heavy timbers and stone to anchor the home onto its site, large expanses of glass help to encompass stunning the mountain views and brings into plenty of natural light. A mix of modern and mountain was created by combining clean line with spare natural materials. The beams are 120-year old recycled timbers from an old apple factory in Washington. By mixing the solidness of the materials with the transparency of the glass, a play of new and traditional was created.
To not detract from the view, the designers did not introduce too many materials in the home. When selecting the color palette, they took cues from the home's architecture, which ranges from creamy beiges to chocolate browns. The beige and gray tones of the great room's stonework inspired a rug in similar hues, while the dark stain of the antique beams is referenced in furnishings like the dining room table and chairs. They incorporated a lot of winter whites, organic shapes and only natural materials into the design scheme. Indirect lighting was selected to make the spaces glow, where lights play off materials on the walls to gain a sense of warmth. Solid hues showcase the clean lines of the furnishings, while rich, textured textiles create a sense of balance. Cashmere, wool, mohair and suede keeps the home feeling very warm and luxurious.

The IRONMAN All World Athlete program is our way of rewarding age-group athletes' hard work, dedication, and performance across across IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 racing.
The program uses IRONMAN's Age Group Rankings system to determine which athletes have finished within the top 10 percent or better of their age group each calendar year. Within this system, athletes generate points based on their finish time behind the first official finisher in their age group. Athletes accumulate points at every race they complete, but on December 31st, only their top three performances will count toward their All World Athlete status. This makes it easy for athletes to improve their ranking simply by racing more with IRONMAN.
An athlete can achieve All World Athlete status in one or all of the following categories: IRONMAN, IRONMAN 70.3 and OVERALL (IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 combined).
There are three levels associated with the All World Athlete program:
All World Athletes receive a variety of benefits from IRONMAN, pictured in the chart below.

We had shopped around a lot for a vehicle. Of all the dealerships we visited, Runde Chevrolet treated us the best and worked the hardest for us. I have already recommended this dealership to other people. Runde was a very pleasant experience for purchasing a car. The whole time was very professional, caring and easy people to work with through the whole process.
Steve Kness – Pearl City, IL
First class operation. Enjoy doing business with them in all departments.
John Roeder – Roeder Implement Inc. – Dubuque, IA
I am very pleased with my purchase from Runde Chevrolet.
Gary Bonnet – East Dubuque, IL
This was my first experience with Runde Chevrolet and it will not be my last. Everyone I spoke to was very kind, helpful, and professional. I was able to get and appointment right away and everything was handled very well.
Chad Conlon – Dubuque, IA
I would like to thank sales associate Mark Fleege for his help in picking out our new Chevrolet Silverado. We have purchased a vehicle before through Mark and he is one of the main reasons we returned to Runde. His help was nothing short of excellent. We are very happy with the vehicle and would recommend Runde to other prospective buyers. I would also like to compliment the person who is responsible for the Runde website. The website was very helpful in selecting a vehicle.
Robert Krueger – Sabula, IA
Wayne Konrardy is the best salesperson I have ever dealt with barring none, he even came back to the dealership that night to explain every item on our truck, 2 1/2 hours worth.
Robert Rupp – Hazel Green, Wisconsin

Obama: No negotiations with Republicans
President Obama insists he will not negotiate major budget issues with congressional Republicans until they vote to reopen the government and to lift the debt ceiling.
"There are enough votes in the House of Representatives to make sure that the government reopens today," Obama told the Associated Press in an interview.
The president added: "And I'm pretty willing to bet that there are enough votes in the House of Representatives right now to make sure that the United States doesn't end up being a deadbeat."
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and other Republicans who want to attach a delay to Obama's health care plan, have criticized Obama's refusal to negotiate as the government shutdown enters its fifth day and a debt crisis looms.
"The White House's refusal to negotiate is putting the nation at risk of default," said Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck. "If we're going to resolve this, we're going to have to work together."
Obama also
told the AP that:
• Potential consumers should not give up on the new health care exchanges because of initial computer glitches.
Government officials "are working around the clock and have been systematically reducing the wait times," Obama said.
• He is optimistic about new diplomacy with Iran, as the United States seeks a deal in which the Iranians would renounce any attempt to make the means to create nuclear weapons.
"We're not going to take a bad deal," Obama told the Associated Press. "We are going to make sure that we verify any agreement that we might strike."
• U.S. intelligence agencies predict that Iran is about a year or more from having the capability to make a nuclear bomb; Israel disagrees, saying Iran is closer.
• The United States may keep some forces in Afghanistan after the formal end of the war in 2014, if an agreement can be reached with the Afghan government; the U.S. and Iraq were unable to reach a similar deal after the end of the war.
Obama told the wire service that "no matter what, by the end of next year, we'll be finished with combat operations" in Afghanistan.
• The owner of the Washington Redskins football team should "think about changing" its nickname because it is offensive to some Native Americans.
The Associated Press interviewed Obama on Friday, and published the results Saturday.
The shutdown began at midnight Monday, with Congress and the White House unable to agree on a spending plan as the new fiscal year began.
The Republican-run House wants a plan that includes a one-year delay of provisions in the new health care law.
Obama and the Democratic-run Senate say the new spending plan should not make any changes to health care. The Senate has killed three House attempts to change parts of the law, and Obama has vowed to veto any bill that would do that if it passed Congress.
While Boehner and other Republicans also seek more deficit reduction and changes to entitlement programs, Obama told the Associated Press that he has told the GOP speaker "we are happy to negotiate on anything."
But, Obama told AP, he will not allow a situation in which "a small faction of the Republican Party ends up forcing them into brinksmanship to see if they can somehow get more from negotiations by threatening to shut down the government or threatening America by not paying its bills."
Obama has called on Boehner to hold a House vote on a "clean" spending plan with no health care changes.
Republicans have criticized Obama and Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid for refusing to negotiate the differences over spending and health care.
In the weekly Republican radio address, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said that "it has become disturbingly clear that the Obama-Reid shutdown is no longer about health care, or spending or ideology. It's about politics, plain and simple."
With the government shutdown in its fifth day, Obama and congressional Republicans also face another rapidly approaching deadline: Oct. 17, the day the Treasury Department says it will finally breach the $16.7 trillion debt ceiling.
Without an increase, the government faces a first-ever default on its debts, Obama said, a development that could plunge the nation and the world into recession.
"Never before has a party threatened to not pay our bills except for 2011," Obama said — "the last time that Speaker Boehner and some of the same people in the House of Representatives thought that it might give them more leverage in negotiations."
Obama, who successfully ran for president during his first term as a U.S. senator, also criticized new Republican first-termers who have led the opposition to the health care plan. The group includes such Tea Party-backed senators as Ted Cruz of Texas, Marco Rubio of Florida and Rand Paul of Kentucky.
When he was in the Senate, Obama told the AP, he "didn't go around courting the media. And I certainly didn't go around trying to shut down the government."
Obama also said: "I recognize that in today's media age, being controversial, taking controversial positions, rallying the most extreme parts of your base, whether it's left or right, is a lot of times the fastest way to get attention and raise money," he said. "But it's not good for government."

Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris haven't been at it like rabbits since getting hitched on Dec. 31 at the Playboy Mansion. During an appearance on HuffPost Live on Wednesday, Feb. 6, the magazine mogul's wife offered "no comment" when asked if they have sex.
"I feel like since Hef is older now and he's had . . . the phases of all the girlfriends and all that kind of stuff . . . I feel now is more, you know, like cuddling up and watching a movie or playing backgammon," the 26-year-old said. "We play Uno with the girls."
Harris — whose June 2011 Playboy cover was given a "Runaway Bride" sticker after she called off their first wedding — also cleared up rumors about Hefner's skills in the boudoir. (In a July 2011 interview with Howard Stern, the model said Hefner lasted "two seconds" and said she was "not turned on" by the octogenarian.)
"When I first left, I did some interviews I shouldn't have done. I was mad. It was a breakup, and I shouldn't have done some of the things," Harris explained. "At the time I had a bad publicist, so things did get switched and turned around."
Harris announced they were back together in June 2012 via Twitter. Though they never publicly addressed engagement rumors, the two obtained a marriage license weeks before tying the knot in December.
Though a source recently told Us Weekly Harris has been left out of 86-year-old Hefner's will, that didn't deter the bodacious blonde from becoming his third wife. "For me it meant more security knowing that with Hef, I'm the one for him," she said on HuffPost Live. "There's always girls in and out, so there's always the feeling of maybe being replaced. It's an on-edge feeling all the time. So he made sure that I didn't feel that way anymore and that's what the wedding was all about."

House Estermont of Greenstone is a vassal house from the Stormlands that holds fealty to House Baratheon. Their seat is Greenstone, a castle located on the island of Estermont in Shipbreaker Bay. Their sigil is a dark green sea turtle on a field of pale green.
Known Members
- Lady {Cassana Estermont}, wife of Lord Steffon Baratheon of Storm's End and mother of Robert, Stannis, and Renly Baratheon.
Season 2
During the War of the Five Kings, House Estermont, along with most noble houses of the Stormlands, pledges support to Renly Baratheon's claim to the Iron Throne. Following the death of Renly, the Estermonts go over to Stannis and participate in the Battle of the Blackwater.[1]
Season 5
While sailing south from King's Landing to Dorne, Jaime Lannister asks the ship's captain if the island on the horizon is Estermont; he is corrected that it is actually Tarth.[2]
Behind the scenes
George R.R. Martin uses a turtle as his personal sigil, having kept turtles as pets when he was a child.[3]
In the audio commentary track for "Fire and Blood", D.B. Weiss revealed that they cut the flag for House Estermont because "we cut the turtle out, we didn't want to see a turtle."
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Lady Cassana had many siblings including two brothers. The elder, Lord Eldon Estermont, is about 70 years old and head of House Estermont, and the younger, Ser Lomas Estermont, has a son, Ser Andrew. Ser Andrew Estermont had previously been Lord Stannis Baratheon's squire for numerous years.
The first time Queen Cersei Lannister became aware of her husband's infidelity was when they repaid a visit to the Estermonts. Queen Cersei was miserable the entire fortnight they spent with the Estermonts while King Robert enjoyed hunting, hawking, drinking, and play fighting with his maternal uncles and male cousins. He also took to reconnecting and comforting a female cousin whose father and husband died in the siege of Storm's End and eventually spent the night with her. That same night Ser Jaime Lannister offers to kill King Robert, but Queen Cersei says she wants him "horned" instead. She likes to think that was the night when her son Joffrey was conceived.
Following the Battle of Blackwater Bay, Lord Eldon bends the knee to King Joffrey, though some members of House Estermont remain loyal to Lord Stannis.

In Chinese village that revolted, two former protesters win election
WUKAN, China — The Chinese fishing village that went into open revolt against government control last year held elections on Saturday, an event that some local people said was the first time they'd been able to elect their leaders fairly.
Young and old, the villagers who in December erected barricades made of felled trees took a seat on narrow benches and wrote in their choices for village council members. Men previously identified by officials as agitators and criminals watched the ballot boxes being sealed and then carted into school rooms. Under the glare of dozens of news cameras the votes were tallied on large orange posters leaned against the walls outside.
As night fell, the new leader and deputy head of Wukan's committee were announced: Two former protest organizers, who once faced arrest, are now in charge of the village. A remaining five spots will be filled during a runoff election on Sunday.
"Before this year, I had never voted," said 71-year-old Zhang Aizhen, a woman with short white hair and a proud smile.
Although China began to allow village-level balloting in the 1980s, many here said that in the past crooked officials either stage-managed elections or didn't bother to hold them at all.
"In their corruption, they took whatever they wanted," said Xue Jingmian, a 25-year-old security guard who dropped his pink ballot into a steel box. "The villagers only got what was left."
After years of resentment about real estate deals brokered between local leaders and businessmen, which residents said amounted to rampant theft of communal land, villagers staged a series of demonstrations last fall that culminated in a December standoff with police. In an unusual development that gained international attention, both security and government officials got chased out of town before a deal was brokered with provincial officials.
For all of the enthusiasm evident at the plywood polling boxes on Saturday, though, it remained far from clear how the story of Wukan will end up.
One candidate, the daughter of an activist whose death in police custody galvanized villagers in December, said she was visited on Wednesday by an official from the neighboring town of Lufeng and told to pull out of the election.
"He didn't want to force me. He wanted to persuade me," said Xue Jianwan, 22. "He said I should carefully consider the situation and not participate in the election."
Xue said on Friday that she was adamant about staying in the race. Her father's final wish, she said, was that Wukan's land be returned and she intended to push hard until that happened. But when the results were announced on Saturday, putting Xue in the runoff, she was nowhere to be seen, and it wasn't clear whether she was still in the race.
At least one main protest leader on the ballot showed signs of shoring up his position.
In the aftermath of last year's tumult, 66-year-old Lin Zuluan was named Wukan's Communist Party secretary. He still decided to run for the head of the village commission and was successful.
Asked if he thought that was too much concentration of power, the retired businessman replied, "The position of village leader and village party secretary can be held by the same person."
Beyond the inside politics of Wukan, the core dilemma of getting land returned has not yet been solved.
"We will solve the land issue step-by-step," Lin said on Saturday evening, as a crush of reporters followed him away from the polling center at a local school.
If those efforts to reclaim land come up short, then the experience will have been an empty one, many here said.
Saturday marked the third time people in Wukan voted since February. The other times were for an election committee and a large group of village representatives.
"If we still cannot get our land back, then all of this means nothing," said Hong Gui, a 47-year-old taxi driver in dusty khaki pants and grey canvas jacket.
Zhu Qijie, a 25-year-old Wukan native, made the trip home from Guangzhou, a city about 190 miles to the west where he works for a trading company. But he said he wasn't sure what effect the vote will have.
"I have a very cautious attitude about the election. These issues aren't just about Wukan. They concern the entire system in China," said Zhu, who wore a hip cranberry-colored pair of rectangle-framed glasses and black jeans and jacket. "This is not only about land. There are so many other problems. It has to do with the interests of the government and businessmen. We won't get our land back just because we've had an election."
Those broader issues are the subject of much debate among China watchers. Some have suggested that Wukan could serve as a pilot program, a more open way to begin addressing deeply rooted problems of corruption and disputes over land rights. That would parallel the path taken when economic reform was introduced three decades ago — an opening up in specific places like coastal Guangdong province, where Wukan is located, and then managing the spread of that change.
Others argue Wukan's experience is an isolated one that reflects only the back-and-forth social management style of China's authoritarian governance, crushing unrest in some instances and whittling it more gently out of existence in others.
And if the approach is successful in Guangdong, it may not be easily transplanted to other provinces where leadership is seen as more conservative.
Yang Semao, a former protest leader who was elected as Lin's deputy on Saturday, mulled over the question during a conversation with a reporter on Friday afternoon.
"The spirit of Wukan is a model worth being studied by other parts of China," said Yang, 45. "But the model of how we operated cannot be copied because Wukan has its own conditions."
Yang clarified: The officials in Wukan grew so obscenely corrupt, even for a nation used to excesses by local potentates, that most of village's population of some 12,000 people was willing to rise up.
"It would have been too costly for the higher authorities to crack down on all of the villagers," he said.
The man sitting next to him, Xie Yushan, was bludgeoned on the head by police during protests in September.
Yang gestured at Xie and said that "the police were hitting our students ... he went over to save the students and the police beat him for it."
Xie patted the spot on his head where he said that a police baton smashed down.
"I couldn't imagine in September that there would be democratic elections," said Xie, a 50-year-old fish salesman. "Back then, we were all just worried about getting beaten by the police and taken away."
There were reminders on Saturday that such opportunities did not exist in other villages.
Having heard about the polling, Yuan Hanjie showed up in Wukan hoping someone would listen to his story. Officials in his hometown have been illegally selling off land, just like what happened in Wukan, he said.
"In my area, there is no law," said Yuan, 51. "If a person tries to petition, he gets arrested."
A man named Jian Xiangbin gave a similar narrative.
"Every election in my village has been conducted illegally," said Jiang, 46. "It's all done behind the scenes."
Did Wukan give him any hope?
"They have had the first democratic elections to take place in China," he said. "From my point of view, this is the first and only time this has happened."

Court backs fines for not picketing
A first for Ontario: Four members ordered to pay union thousands of dollars
Published: Friday, February 24, 2006
OTTAWA - The Public Service Alliance of Canada is making good on threats to fine members who refused to walk the picket line during the massive 2004 federal strike, marking the first time a union in Ontario has levied such fines.
So far, four members have been ordered by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice Small Claims Court to pay the union thousands of dollars in fines.
And the union says this is only the beginning of the legal action -- as many as 196 more Ontario members will be hauled before the courts in the coming months.
"This shows we can fine people who choose not to respect the picket line," said Chris Aylward, PSAC's regional vice-president with the Union of Taxation Employees. "The judge ruled that the fines are collectable."

There is a rabbinic commandment stating that on Purim, one should drink until they can't tell the difference between cursed is Haman and blessed is Mordecai. Instead of gobbling down glasses and glasses of wine, you can get a bit tipsy more efficiently with sweet Italian liqueurs, which also happen to pair really well with all the cookies and confectionery we end up inhaling on this gluttonous holiday. My paternal grandmother was a pro at making these, with lemons or rose petals, chocolate or coffee, and she called them "liquori da signorine" ("young ladies' liqueurs") as they were very sweet, which always cracked my dad up because they are actually as strong as a good scotch. Here is my favorite:
- 750 ml bottle of Everclear (grain alcohol) or high-end, unflavored vodka, or 50/50)
- 1 ½ cup blanched almonds
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 1 stick vanilla or cinnamon, to taste (optional)
- 1 cup water
In your food processor, process the blanched almonds with the sugar.
Mix this almond paste with the alcohol or vodka, pour into a jar or vase, add the vanilla (or cinnamon) stick, close/seal well, and set aside for two weeks.
It's best to shake the combination every couple of days.
After three weeks, transfer the combination into a bottle or pitcher, straining it well with cheesecloth or a filter, and add the water.
Shake well, close the bottle and allow to rest for two more weeks.
Once again, strain through a cheesecloth or filter, and your sweet almond liqueur is ready!

iPhone 5 Lines Around the World
The announcements, the comparisons, the reviews, the lines. It's an Apple iDevice tradition.
Following the announcement of the iPhone 5, the phone was compared to its closest Samsung competitor before the reviews rolled out. Then it was time for customers to suck it up, sit down, and ... wait.
We've already chronicled the experience at the Fifth Avenue store in New York, where the participants looked at it as a bonding experience. "You don't always get to camp out in New York City," Roger Chinchilla said from his fold-out lawn chair about 10 people deep in line - probably minutes before a local homeless man tried to explain to him the many layers of irony in that statement. Of course, the unemployed were also making a quick buck off those who were unwilling to endure either the U.S. Parcel Service or the cold, hard pavement under their posterior.
In all fairness, any experience of waiting in line for a coveted tech product is an exercise in endurance as well as a bonding experience with other tech fans. There's really nothing like it. Still, we'd rather enjoy our purchase, rather than suffer for it. But thousands of Apple iPhone 5 fans around the world disagreed.
We're actually pretty sure that the scenes shown in the following pages took place where we indicated; after all, the pictures were taken before the customers had access to iO6's new Maps feature. Otherwise, I guess we'd have to refer to it as a work in progress, too.

Nicklaus Design Facts
Courses Open for Play: More than 410
Courses Designed by Jack: 300
Countries Represented: 41
Courses on Tour: 142
Championships Staged: Close to 900
Golf Course Design Company Overview
Nicklaus Design, the global golf course design firm founded by golf legend Jack Nicklaus, is widely regarded as the world's leading design firm.
With a philosophy of working closely with clients, enhancing the natural environment, and creating courses that are both challenging and enjoyable for players of all levels, the company has 415 courses open for play in 45 countries and 39 states. Of those golf courses, Jack Nicklaus has been involved in the design of 300 courses.
At least 70 Nicklaus Design courses have been ranked by major industry publications like Golf Digest, Golfweek, GOLF Magazine and Travel & Leisure Golf, in various national or international Top-100 lists, and no fewer than 150 Nicklaus Design courses have hosted a combined total of 1,050 professional golf tournaments worldwide or significant national amateur championships, including events on the PGA TOUR, the PGA TOUR Champions, the LPGA Tour and the Web.com Tour, among others.
Nicklaus Design currently has more than 57 golf courses under development spread across 19 different countries.
Jack Nicklaus and Nicklaus Design also have been credited for elevating and enhancing the relationship between golf and luxury home communities. Since independent research began in the early 1990s, communities that feature a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course as an amenity have resulted in the highest real estate value, the highest average home price, and the greatest velocity of home and lot sales. The survey also included the impact on membership fees, annual dues and greens fees. When all data was combined, a "net present value" was determined for each golf course designer, and Jack Nicklaus was the overall and overwhelming No. 1 choice.
With the name Nicklaus behind a golf course, its value is enhanced tremendously. And that value will only grow with time.
