More info SAKURA HOTEL IKEBUKURO
The quiet and peaceful atmosphere of Hatagaya is very different from the hectic nature of central Shinjuku. But with a selection of shops, convenience stores and restaurants nearby, you can be sure that your stay with us will be a pleasant one. Once you jump onto the train at Hatagaya station, a mere 3-minute ride will take you to Shinjuku, the busiest station in the world and one of Tokyo's must-visit tourist spots.
If you would like to see Tokyo from above,
The west side of Shinjuku Station is dominated by skyscrapers. One of them is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Admission is free and it is open until 11PM (last entry at 10:30pm). At a height of 202 meters panorama of Tokyo City is all yours.
If you want to experience Tokyo's fascinating nightlife.
An entertainment and red-light district in Shinjuku. Kabukicho is the location of many host and hostess bars, shops, restaurants, nightclubs, and is often referred to as the "Town that never sleeps". In the late 1940s there existed a plan to build a Kabuki theater in the area after while the district was named. Though the theater was never built the name remained and has since become a synonym for a vibrant night life.
Being the most direct route between the east and the west side of Shinjuku Station, Omoide Yokocho is usually flooded with people. You can eat Yakitori(grilled chicken on skewers - a local delicacy) and drink Sake at one of the many stalls along the way. If you want to experience Japanese After-Work-Calture at its bes best Omoide Yokocho is the place to go.
If you want to take a break from the crowd,
Covering 58 hectares, Shinjuku-Gyoen is one of Tokyo's largest parks (in the city center). It was opened to the public in 1949 after it had served as a garden for the Imperial Family since the beginning of the 20th century. Shinjuku Gyoen features three garden types: an English landscape with wide lawns, a traditional Japanese "Niwa" with teahouses and a symmetrically arranged, formal French garden. Besides, there are many types of vegetation as well as a greenhouse (the greenhouse is being reconstructed until 2011). Shinjuku Gyoen also has more than a dozen types of cherry trees, making the park one of Tokyo's most popular and romantic Hanami spots during late March and early April.
For shopping lovers,
Cutting edge electronics and photography equipment make this the favorite among enthusiasts and professionals alike. Despite the name "Camera", Yodobashi actually sells a lot more, ranging from household appliances and personal computers, to toys watches and even cosmetics.
Japan's premium department store devoted to high-end ladies fashion, lifestyle, jewelry and much more. Takashimaya is the No. 1 choice for domestic designer labels as well as world-famous top notch brands. Besides, DIY superstore Tokyu Hands is also located inside the building. Here you can find many fascinating gadgets not available elsewhere. Something for everyone here!

Subways in Tokyo are very convenient and you can go nearly everywhere by them, but at the same time you can easily spent thousands of Yen buying single- tickets.
The same is true for museums and exhibitions since entrance fees usually start around 1,000 yen. Is there a cheaper solution?
Of course there is one! Check out the following websites:
>>Tokyo Metro 1-day / 2-day ticket for unlimited rides
>>Tokyo Museum "Grutt" Pass for 66 facilities within 2 months
|Hatsudai & Opera City

The sixty-floor Sunshine 60 building offers an unbeatable dining experience with panoramic views of the city from the sky restaurants and observation deck. Ikebukuro is also the stronghold of several major electronic superstores such as Bic Camera and Yamada Denki and goes neck-and-neck with the world-renowned Akihabara.

Many famous luxury brands have established their flagship stores in the glamourous Aoyama and Omotesando districts. If you prefer exquisite Japanese craftsmanship, the Oriental Bazaar is no doubt the No.1 choice. From fine porcelain to unique hand-woven articles, you name it, they've got it.
However, if you are looking for something more alternative, Harajuku is definitely the place to go. Here is where Tokyo's fashion-conscious generation gathers and the Design Festa Gallery can be found. On Sundays you can take a break from shopping to see amateur bands and dancers in nearby Yoyogi park as well.
Ikebukuro stn. → JR Yamanote Line (13 min.) → Harajuku stn.

Whether you are looking for the latest high-tech PCs and mobile phones or memorabilia from your favourite anime, most likely you will be able to find it here.
If Shibuya is the centre for fashion, then Akihabara is the centre for electronics and Otaku culture. Don't forget to bring your passport in orders to get a refund on the sales tax!

Nothing seems to bring out the whackies and WTF's quite like a full moon. This isn't just my opinion, it's a fact. You can track it by ER data, police calls, etc. No one knows why. My guess is that it activates some primitive unidentified hormone, or cell group, or something, in our brains. Maybe related to the things that cause other animals to spawn, or howl, or whatever, when the full moon is out.
But I digress.
This afternoon an irate elderly lady called. My secretary is out, so my nurse and I are fielding the calls ourselves.
She chewed me out. "Dr Grumpy, my husband, Mr. Backpain, has been in the hospital for 2 days waiting to see you. Dr. Brilliantinternist is his regular doctor. Anyway, they're ready to discharge him home, but are still waiting for you to come say it's okay".
I told her I'd look into this. I hadn't received any hospital consults on this guy. Neither had my nurse. I even called my secretary at home. Nope, not her either. I listened to all 4 of the office's voicemail boxes to to see if something had been forgotten. Nope. Zip. Nada.
So I called Dr. Brilliantinternist to get to the bottom of it. I pride myself on seeing patients when called to do so, and it ticked me off that someone might think I was slacking off.
Dr. Grumpy: "Hey, Dr. Brilliantinternist, it's Ibee Grumpy"
Dr. Brilliantinternist: "Hi, Ibee. What's up?"
Dr. Grumpy: "A lady is calling saying I was supposed to see her husband, Mr. Backpain, at the hospital?"
Long pause.
Dr. Brilliantinternist: "He's not in the hospital. I just saw him here an hour ago."
Dr. Grumpy: "WHAT?!!! Why the hell is his wife calling me then?"
Dr. Brilliantinternist: "No idea. Sounds like SHE needs to see you, though. I'll have my secretary set it up".

moses wrote:We need new technology for the generation and distribution of massive quantities of clean, cheap and unlimited energy to every corner of the world. Influx
People would use this energy for evil purposes. Why is that ?
I put it to you that all this evil is a result of the traumatic experiences
that our ancestors went through, and the subsequent struggle to survive
in new environmental circumstances. Our DNA was changed either through
actual genetic change or through epigenetic changes where the supply of
proteins becomes altered. Recently I was reading where raspberry altered
the epigenetic expression of hundreds of genes, suggesting it might be
useful in cancer treatment. What is of interest is that these epigenetic
changes can be passed on to one's offspring. And trauma changes gene
expression - big time ! Thus the DNA of people before the catastophies
would have been epigenetically very different to today's DNA - and these
differences are the main source of evil today.
So we change our DNA to heal, or maybe we reverse the effects and return
to our ancestor's DNA. Now this may well be technologically possible. Of
course there are many changes to DNA that allow us to adapt better to the
present environment. But healing is our main task. Getting smarter is not.
Smarter people are just better at killing and destruction. And yet within
each of us resides something special. But the actions and feelings of us are
easily controlled by gene expression which is induced by the immediate
circumstances. Get rid of this and then we can use that special something
that we have, or rather what we really are.
Michael Goodspeed said: After all, one of the Electric Universe proponents' greatest beefs with mainstream astronomers and astrophysicists is their willingness to invoke unseen, unproven, "metaphysical mathematics" (dark matter, dark energy, black holes, neutron stars, etc.) to try to account for unexpected observations in space.
Michael Goodspeed said: EU, on the other hand, provides a model that relies only on forces and phenomena that are actually observed in nature, and are routinely replicated in the laboratory.
EU proponents have never claimed to be on the verge of a "theory of everything," nor have they claimed that an electrical cosmology can ever provide insight into the Mind of God.
Of course, most people will say that they only want to know the truth, but surely this is predicated on the tacit expectation that the truth will be good for them personally.
'There is no such thing as a 'no belief-belief system'
Even scientists who regard themselves as wholly objective are unavoidably operating under personal beliefs -- and many of these beliefs did not necessarily arise from their own careful analysis and discernment, but rather are the result of years of intensive indoctrination.

He is supposed to be "objective," without ever being able to free himself from the subjective viewpoint.
Within their own realms, all conceptual systems are logical and correct, similar to delusional systems.
The technology was termed "remote viewing" and was coveted by our intelligence community because of how it could be used for psychic spying missions. In the early days is was used to locate weapons of mass destruction
At JREF, we offer a one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event. The JREF does not involve itself in the testing procedure, other than helping to design the protocol and approving the conditions under which a test will take place. All tests are designed with the participation and approval of the applicant. In most cases, the applicant will be asked to perform a relatively simple preliminary test of the claim, which if successful, will be followed by the formal test. Preliminary tests are usually conducted by associates of the JREF at the site where the applicant lives. Upon success in the preliminary testing process, the "applicant" becomes a "claimant."
To date, no one has passed the preliminary tests.
Influx said: Where is conclusive proof that remote viewing even works?
lizzie wrote:Influx said: Where is conclusive proof that remote viewing even works?
Well, I can't offer you "conclusive proof." Remote viewing was used for many purposes. I am not a cosmologist, but perhaps one who is could view the following remote viewing project and see how accurate Ingo Swann was.

It seems very odd to me that sophisticated global intelligence agencies would use remote viewing if it served no purpose.

On page 735 in "The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita" P. Yogananda said:
"…in the Satya Yuga, the spiritual age, the ideal man has the capacity to comprehend the source of universal magnetism…he will have the power of continuous contact with God, becoming a Brahmin, or knower of God. His perception will be through intuition: interplanetary and interastral travel will be accomplished not by airplanes or atomic airships, but by instantaneous astral projection. He will have mastered the full spectrum of divine powers."
The cosmic dimensions of altered-state experiences can encompass the entire planet Earth. In "planetary consciousness" the subject's consciousness expands to the Earth's geological substance with its mineral kingdom, and its biosphere with all its life forms
The subject can experience travelling to the moon, sun, other planets, stars, and galaxies; he or she can experience explosions of supernovas, contraction of stars, quasars and pulsars, even passage through black holes. The experience can occur in the form of simply witnessing such events, or of actually becoming them, experiencing them intimately, as if being a part of the experienced thing or event. At the widest (and comparatively rare) form of this experience — "identification with the entire physical universe" — the subject has the feeling that his or her consciousness encompasses the entire cosmos. All its processes are experienced as part of the organism and psyche of the all-encompassing universe-system.
Influx said: A massive exodus, a literal stampede of humanity into space will do wonders for the stability, survival and prosperity of the human race for all ages.
Divinity said: BECAUSE they had more than an inkling it was all possible in this unified field.
Lizzie said. Why spend billions of dollars on useless technology when we can use teleportation or astral travel to visit the stars. It costs absolutely nothing; it's non-polluting, and one doesn't have to leave the comfort of home.
Lizzie said. Ah, you, too, have heard the conspiracy theory about sending the excess human population to the slave labor colony on Mars?
Lizzie said. BECAUSE they stole Tesla's technology and deliberately pushed a gravity based model of space instead so the black ops folks could develop antigravity technology in secret.
I've been to all the familiar places
I've been running like a sentence never begun
I've been looking for a way to let you know
I've got nothing left to fill the spaces
I've got nothing but a centre coming undone
I've been doing circles and it shows.

The Xbox 360 Kinect has a rather neat voice-control feature. It lets you switch TV channels, pause games, and do just about everything you'd normally do with a remote control. Including pissing off your friends.
Our mischievous pals at Kotaku noticed that the Kinect's voice-control feature doesn't appear to differentiate between voices. This means that it'll take a command from any person within microphone range.
It also means that you can stroll through your friend's living room and mutter "Xbox...pause" during a critical moment. [Kotaku]

The left-armer was due to leave London Tuesday evening with his English side Yorkshire, coached by former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie, blaming either Cricket Australia or Starc's agent for problems with his paperwork.
The 22-year-old arrived at Heathrow Airport at the weekend and was initially cleared to remain, but will not now make his Yorkshire debut against Gloucestershire on Wednesday.
Cricket Australia said the issue had nothing to do with them.
"Mitchell is on annual leave and decided to organise a short-term contract with Yorkshire. It has absolutely nothing to do with us," a spokesman said.
"We have sent plenty of people to England and know all the requirements. Saying that, we have made it clear that if Mitchell needs our help, we are happy to do that."
While Cricket Australia have been blamed by some, Yorkshire chairman Colin Graves has also fingered Starc's agent for the "fiasco", according to the Guardian newspaper.
Starc was keen to play down the embarrassment as he prepared to fly out of Britain.
"Well round the world here we go... Off to aus now," he tweeted, apparently from Heathrow.
"Just to be clear guys, not cricket aus or Yorks fault. No one to blame, was some miscommunication from Australia.
"Common sense isn't so common these days!" he added.
Starc was due to begin an initial five-week deal with Yorkshire to help offset the departure of English seamer Ajmal Shahzad, who joined county champions Lancashire on loan this week.
Yorkshire coach Gillespie said it was a pity Starc would miss the Gloucestershire clash, but said he would be back, hopefully in time to face Hampshire next week.
"So everyone is clear, the paperwork for Mitchell's visa was incomplete from Australia," he tweeted.
"It will get done and Mitchell will be back before we know it. Rules are rules and we will all crack on and get the job done," Gillespie added.

Childhood pals Frank Castronovo and Frank Falcinelli opened the beloved Frankies Spuntino in Brooklyn in 2004, the first of what are now three locations. Early last month, they expanded to the West Village and opened Frankies 570. We've been to their cozy Brooklyn and Clinton Street locations and are happy to hear that the new spot is the largest space they have so far, which means more seats and more dishes for all of us! We talked to the Franks--a couple of affable guys who are deeply talented and classically trained who are all about good food and good company--and we couldn't help but want to just pour a glass of wine, or two, and just hang out with them.
Tell us about the newest Frankies Spuntino, Frankies 570. What has been the best part of the West Village build-out?
Frank Castronovo: It's good to be back in the village where we spent many years living and working in other restaurants. It's great to see old people that we know on the street and coming in--still lots of the same faces. And of course, there is the unique energy of being in the city. It's kind of like going away from home for a long time. Coming back feels good, feels like home.
Frank Falcinelli: For me, it's of course the neighborhood and restoring a building in need of it. I really value being able to provide a great service in a great neighborhood.
Your philosophy of creating "solid restaurants, likable down to the smallest detail" makes for such copacetic dining experiences. Does 570 have any twist or unique element to it?
FC: 570 is the largest dining room we have so we can feed more people and it's beautiful. It also has the most well-equipped kitchen enabling us to cook the classic Spuntino menu and to add a wide array of new dishes. The new kitchen gives us room to experiment.
FF: We designed the bar from scratch--it's a Brunswick Bar. We actually designed it a few years ago based on drawings from the 1800s. Our architect, friend and mentor, Tony Durazzo, took old catalogs and photos and made drawings from them. Then we had it handmade. The restoration glass is amazing and the coffered ceiling was inspired by trips to Europe. And of course working with great paint is always fun. It's important to use high-quality paint.
What is your favorite thing to cook at 570?
FC: Pasta. We have an amazing pasta program, all handmade pastas. The styles and shapes are limitless.
FF: I really like the calamari. The new pastas are amazing… and the confit apple tart.
What are your favorite late-night bites?
FC: Grilled Calamari at our new restaurant.
FF: Linguini with Blue Crab Claw.
What are you favorite late-night pairings?
FC: Ice cold oysters and a glass of Schloss Muhlenhof Michel Müller-Thurgau Perlwein "Dass ist" at Prime Meats.
FF: The calamari at Frankies 570 and the red wine on tap there.
What are you favorite things to eat between two buns?
FC: Meatballs. A meatball sandwich.
FF: I like to take the braciole and make it into a sandwich on Grandaisy Pizza Bianca.
For more fun, check out Frank Falcinelli's last meal as described in the NYT: "First course: nasturtium appetizer at Noma. Second course: toro tasting at Sasabune.

In fact, some -- like resolving to be a truly eco-conscious eater -- are best undertaken during the summer, when fresh food is everywhere. There are a ton of little things you can do that have a huge impact: turning on the oven less often, making delicious use of every last part of a pasture-raised chicken, stocking up on seasonal berries for winter. And, of course, there's the power you wield with your grocery cart.
"If 40 percent of American households bought only organic milk, it would change dairy production," says Michel Nischan, co-owner of the Dressing Room restaurant in Westport, Connecticut, and author of "Sustainably Delicious." "You really can be a hero one product at a time."
What follows are fresh ways to shop, cook, and eat heroically, now and all year round.
Your purchases will directly support local agriculture. There are now more than 5,200 farmers' markets in the country (find one near you at localharvest.org), and the numbers will continue to grow if we make them our personal Stop & Shops.
Get staples. Instead of only a handful of tomatoes, pick up onions, potatoes, and herbs.
Buy heirloom. It's not just a boutique marketing term. It describes vegetables, fruits, grains, and beans from seeds that have been passed down for generations, grown in small crops that may restore the health of the soil.
Stock up. Buy in bulk when produce is in season. Freeze it, pickle it , or preserve it, so you can still eat local when you have off-season cravings.
Get advice. Ask the farmers for recipe suggestions.
Challenge yourself. Try to use only what's at the market for a week's worth of meals.
"Local is always the priority, but the organic label really does mean something," says chef and author Alice Waters. "If you can't buy local, buy organic -- coffees, teas, jams, olive oils, honey, nuts, raisins, oatmeal, beans, grains. There's so much available across the country now."
Purchase them at a farmers' market, directly from the person who collected them. Keep in mind a cage-free label in the grocery store doesn't necessarily mean the eggs came from chickens that were running around a yard -- they still could have been raised indoors.
Hardy root vegetables like squash, sweet potatoes, beets, turnips, and rutabagas will keep four to six months in a chilly cellar where the temperature stays 40 degrees or below. Store them as close to the time they were harvested as possible -- preferably unwashed, green tops still attached, and packed in sawdust or moist peat moss.
Find a community-supported agriculture (CSA) farm near you at eatwellguide.org or localharvest.org and pay a subscription fee for regular batches of local produce (and, in some places, grass-fed meat). If you're worried about being able to use it all up, go in on it with a friend or two.
"If you're buying food at the store, try to choose products that come in the least amount of packaging possible, or in containers that are easily recyclable in your area," suggests Alexandra Zissu, author of "The Conscious Kitchen."
Until the USDA revised the standards last year, 30 to 40 percent of the milk sold in the U.S. that was labeled organic was actually from factory farm-raised cows. Regulations are tighter now, but not all organic milks are created equal. Check your brand at sustainabletable.org -- and opt for antibiotic- and rBGH-free (no artificial bovine growth hormones).
Anything that qualifies as a whole (i.e., unrefined) grain -- brown rice, barley, farro, quinoa -- is automatically healthier for you and the environment than a processed grain like white rice. Even better is buckwheat, which can improve soil quality.
"My criteria for choosing packaged foods are: nothing with more than five ingredients, no ingredients I can't pronounce, nothing artificial, and no cartoons on the package," says Marion Nestle, nutritionist, author of "What to Eat" and creator of Foodpolitics.com.
"Why no cartoons? Because those companies are deliberately marketing to children, and I want to discourage that."
They top the list of foods to buy organic because of typically high pesticide levels. Stock up when they're available locally, spread them on a cookie sheet, and freeze them for six to eight hours. Then transfer to storage bags or containers. They're great for making smoothies, desserts, or just for snacking, even when summer's only a distant memory.
Carbonation machines keep bottles out of the landfill. Mix seltzer with a fresh fruit syrup to make fizzy drinks. (Heat 1/3 cup sugar and 1/3 cup water until sugar dissolves. Add 1/2 cup raspberries, remove from heat, let steep for 30 minutes, then strain. Add to seltzer.)
Avoid buying items with corn or corn-based substances (corn oil, cornstarch, or corn syrup) as ingredients. According to the USDA, at least 85 percent of the corn grown in this country has been genetically modified, meaning the plants were altered to make them more pest resistant. The Food Alliance Certified seal, at left, means that a product has not been genetically modified.
Fresh corn is easy to stockpile. Blanch the cobs, strip the kernels -- OXO's Corn Peeler works as effortlessly as a potato peeler -- and freeze.
You can enjoy the varieties below with a clean conscience, says Barry Estabrook, writer and founder of Politicsoftheplate.com. For on-the-spot ratings, text the Blue Ocean Institute's FishPhone -- 30644 -- with the message "fish" and the kind you're planning to buy.
Wild Alaskan salmon, Alaskan halibut, or just about any fish from Alaska: "The state has some of the most environmentally sound fishing practices in the country."
Anything in a shell: "Mussels, clams, and oysters are almost always sustainably raised."
Wild American shrimp: "The tiny ones from Maine, pink shrimp from the northwest, and wild-caught from the Atlantic."
Local varieties: "Dungeness crabs from the Northwest, line-caught striped bass and haddock from the Northeast, and so on."
American albacore is the only canned variety out there that's certified to be sustainably fished. Wild Planet's albacore is hand-packed in BPA-free cans without added oil, water, or fillers. From $4 a can; wildplanetfoods.com
Once you've used up the last of a chicken or a turkey, throw the carcass in a stockpot with enough water to cover, a whole or half onion, a carrot, a celery stalk, a few garlic cloves, and a couple of sprigs of herbs like parsley and thyme. Simmer (uncovered) for at least two hours, occasionally skimming the foam that forms at the top. Strain it, pour into glass jars (leaving room for the liquid to expand), let cool, and then freeze.
You'll have four or five quarts of ready-made stock on hand for soup, braised meat and vegetables, pan sauces, pasta, and risotto. You can use this method for vegetable stock too. Start a collection of unused vegetables -- an onion quarter, carrot greens, a turnip, wilted herbs -- and simmer them in water for at least an hour.
You'll get more meat -- and rich stock -- for your money and far less waste. Look for chickens without hormones that were pasture raised. And they couldn't be easier to roast: Brush with butter and season with salt and pepper; bind legs with twine. Roast at 450 degrees, basting occasionally, for about an hour.
It really is best to skip traditional nonstick pans with carcinogenic chemicals (PTFE and PFOA) in the coating altogether. There are alternatives -- like Cuisinart's GreenGourmet line, which has a nonstick interior that's ceramic rather than petroleum-based. Or keep it simple and cook with pots and pans made from stainless steel, pure cast iron, or enamel-coated cast iron.
Though rancher Bill Niman says the first step toward a sustainable food system is to eat less meat overall, there are easy ways to be a better meat eater:
Skip the additives. Buy only absolutely antibiotic- and hormone-free meat.
Choose domestic meat. You can imagine how eating lamb from New Zealand might affect your carbon footprint.
Eat it seasonally. There's a reason we have turkey at Thanksgiving -- the birds mature in the fall. Look for lamb in spring and goose around Christmas.
"A huge amount of water is required to produce regular table sugar," says Louisa Shafia, author of "Lucid Food." "Honey, on the other hand, is a perfectly renewable resource that requires little more than healthy bees and healthy plants and flowers from which to pollinate. Try adapting your favorite recipe to use honey instead of dry sugar."
Not just vegetable scraps and eggshells, but leftovers, coffee grounds, stale bread, tea bags, and pretty much anything else (though animal fats, scraps, and bones don't break down easily and can attract pests). If you can't use it all, give excess back to local farmers or to a community garden.
Your watchwords are "fair-trade certified" and "sustainable." Also look for "bird-friendly" or the Rainforest Alliance label, which means the beans were grown responsibly. Brew it at home with a French press (2 tablespoons coarsely ground coffee per 6 ounces water) and you've started the day on a very green foot.
Salad dressing is a packaged condiment that's so much better homemade -- and it's incredibly easy to whip up. Mix 1 minced shallot, 3 tablespoons any good vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup olive oil, and salt and pepper. It'll keep for a week in a corked glass bottle in the fridge.
Brands like If You Care produce unbleached paper lined with vegetable wax. Use it instead of aluminum foil or plastic wrap. It's compostable, reusable when wiped down, and can be fastened with masking tape.
Keeping track of which plastics are safer (Nos. 2, 4, 5) and which are more likely to release toxic phthalates, styrene, or BPA when heated or warm (Nos. 3, 6, 7) can be confusing. (We have yet to come up with an easy-to-remember shorthand.) So make it a policy to use as little as possible in the kitchen. A few ideas:
Get Glass Containers... Airtight plastic bags are okay, but the Glasslock containers shown at left are freezable and microwavable.
...And glass bottles and jars. Store liquids like juice, oil, and vinegar, or bulk-bought grains, beans, and nuts.
Wrap with dish towels. Surround baked goods with cloth instead of plastic wrap. You can also use a towel and rubber band to cover bowls of food to chill in the fridge before serving.

Face it: we're living in an age where we're being watched. It's an unfortunate circumstance of how technology has progressed throughout the decades, and even when we think we're taking the right steps by adjusting our privacy settings, another news story comes out that all that information is freely available, anyway.
What if you could use a phone that was completely untethered to any company? One that promised that it would keep all of your information strictly in your hands?
That's the idea behind Blackphone (shown above), an unlocked GSM handset from Geeksphone and Silent Circle, that runs a custom version of Android dubbed "PrivatOS."
The software includes support for secure voice calls, text messages, emails, and file sharing. It's the same Android that you know and love, but with extra added security features. It even comes with Google's full suite of Android apps.
Specs not shared yet
Of course, beyond that we don't know much else. We don't have any hardware specifications or any indication of what version of Android it's running. The companies claim that benchmarks tests show the Blackphone to be "among the top performers from any manufacturer," but we'll believe it when we see it. The company always writes that:
The tools installed on Blackphone give you everything you need to take ownership of your mobile presence and digital footprints, and ensure nobody else can watch you without your knowledge.
The teaser video, on the other hand, uses fear mongering to appeal to that specific subset of users who are afraid of what companies are doing with their data.
However you look at it, it's smart marketing, but it doesn't do much to illustrate what the phone is actually like. Even if it does turn out to be the most secure phone a consumer can buy, that won't necessarily translate into a nice-looking chassis and an easy-to-use interface. And without true marketing power behind it or carrier backing, how would a phone like this succeed out of the niche of technology enthusiasts?
The company will show off the Blackphone at next month's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We'll hopefully have some hands on with the phone by then and will let you know what we think.
This story, "Android-powered Blackphone promises extreme mobile privacy" was originally published by TechHive.

Somebody's got to be the scapegoat for the host nation's disappointing medal count. The athletes, for not living up to expectations? The COC for setting unrealistic expectations? The fans for being too passionate? Bingo.
The headline from yesterday's Montreal Gazette: "Canada on pace to meet medal hopes."
The headline from today's Montreal Gazette: "COC admits Canada not on track in medal count."
Obviously, they didn't win negative medals in a day, so it's just that the party line has changed. So "Own The Podium" is now an unperson, and they're looking for someone to be thrown under the bus with it. That means you, Canadian fans who have stomped and cheered your hearts out for your country. Apparently your athletes weren't able to handle the support.
[COC CEO Chris] Rudge said Canadian athletes have never performed before "an audience so big, with so many Canadians and so loud . . . and how each athlete responds to that I don't know."
He said that COC sport leaders are going to look at the "adrenalin rush" that the support caused.
"The size of the crowd and the level of support and the noise – I'm not sure to what degree it was addressed by each of the coaches and the team leaders," added Rudge.
Okay, maybe even Steve Nash said he wanted to slap an outspoken fan
at because of Sunday's hockey game. But all the backtracking and scapegoating is getting ridiculous, Canada.
You set an inspirational goal, which is understandable. You didn't live up to it, which happens sometimes. But instead of focusing on the shortcomings you should be celebrating the victories of your individual athletes, and of a generally thrilling Olympics as a whole. And instead of laying the blame on the fans, you should be singing their praises, because they have been the best thing about the games thus far.
Boisterous Canadian fans may have thrown off its athletes, officials admit [The Province]

Forty Under 40
Brian J. Richardson, 39
Vice President, Human Resources, Diversified Brands, The Sherwin-Williams Co.
Brian Richardson is making an impact on the world around him, both inside and outside the company where he works, the Cleveland-based paint and coating giant Sherwin-Williams Co.
Already a 17-year employee of the company, Mr. Richardson, 39, started there right out of college in the finance department. But he eventually found he was more interested in managing people than money.
"It's a path no one would have thought I would have embarked on, including myself," he says today.
He made the switch at the urging of a friend who worked in human resources and convinced Mr. Richardson he would be good at it as well. Now in charge of the HR function for Sherwin-Williams in seven countries across Europe and North America, Mr. Richardson said it was a good move.
But success in the corporate world is not the end of Mr. Richardson's story. Five years ago, he joined the board of the Alzheimer's Association Cleveland Area Chapter.
"We were giving a little to a lot of organizations," Mr. Richardson said of his efforts and those of his wife, Christina, to support local charitable organizations. "It was a little bit of money and a little bit of time (to each organization), and I said, "We really need to focus our time and resources to make a difference.'"
Mr. Richardson was drawn to the Alzheimer's organization because he'd seen firsthand what the disease could do when it struck his grandfather.
"It's a disease that in some ways is out of control. It's like cancer was in the 1950s and '60s," he said.
Mr. Richardson rose as fast in that organization as he did at Sherwin-Williams, and in July he began a two-year term as the chapter's president.
The organization helps family caregivers, provides programs for Alzheimer's patients and raises money to find a cure.
It's an ongoing mission, Mr. Richardson said, and success is not yet even in sight.
"The hardest part of being associated with Alzheimer's is when you get with the families and the patients," he said. "You see on their faces that they are so wanting to hear something new, and there's just not a breakthrough."
He pushes on, though, working with staff, volunteers, patients, their families, board members and supporters, said his wife, who is also active with the organization.
He has one goal, his wife says: "A world without Alzheimer's."

Thanksgiving, St. George, Utah
Thanksgiving in St. George, Utah is a big event and very busy time of year. With so many folks who have retired in our beautiful town it brings the rest of the family to town to visit the grandparents. The other reason St. George gets so busy is because of the softball/baseball tournaments that are held over the weekend. And we usually have great weather too.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of us to all of you. Please travel safe. Below we have added several quotes regarding thanksgiving, gratitude and thankfulness. May your holiday season be wonderful.
"Saying thank you is more than good manners. It is good spirituality." ~Alfred Painter
"The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you." ~John E. Southard
"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." ~W.T. Purkiser
"Real life isn't always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgement of what is working in our lives can help us not only to survive but surmount our difficulties." — Sarah Ban Breathnach
"Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted–a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul." — Rabbi Harold Kushner
"If you made a list of all the things you could be thankful for, the list would undoubtedly be longer than your misfortunes." Catherine Pulsifer, from Many Blessings
"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." W.T. Purkiser
"God is glorified, not by our groans, but by our thanksgivings." Edwin Percy Whipple

With coyote sightings becoming more common in Cape Coral, and following a recent attack on a dog, citizens are reminded to take precautions to avoid attracting the animals and to keep their pets close.
Encounters between people and coyotes in Florida are occurring more often, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. As they become used to humans, they may lose some fear of people. Coyotes can also become more difficult to scare away when they lose their fear of humans.
Cape resident Peter Samuell, of 415 S.W. 21st St., was working in his front yard one late morning earlier this year when he spotted a coyote walking up from a nearby canal, headed toward the street.
"It quite surprised me," he said. "It was definitely an adult."
A transplant from Arizona, Samuell was certain about what he was seeing.
"Coyote sightings are not every day, but they happen frequently," he said of his former state of residence. "I didn't really know there were coyotes in Florida."
Fact Box
Facts about coyotes
* Coyotes are medium-sized mammals in the same family as dogs, wolves and foxes.
* Coyotes' fur is generally salt-and-pepper gray, with tan or brown patches.
* Coyotes have a thick bushy tail, long pointy nose and pointy ears.
* Adult coyotes weigh between 20 pounds and 35 pounds on average.
* Coyotes are found in several habitat types and are common in rural, suburban and even urban landscapes.
* Coyotes have been known to feed on rodents, rabbits, lizards, snakes, insects, deer fawn, small wild pigs, grasses, fruit, grains, fish, carrion and even livestock.
* Coyotes breed once a year in the winter and litters average six pups.
* Coyotes are more active at dawn and dusk, but can be seen almost any time.
* Coyotes' home ranges typically average 5 to 10 square miles.
To report a coyote attack or encounter, contact (888) 404-3922.

Samuell watched the coyote head west toward Skyline Boulevard and disappear.
"I think it saw me - it looked me way - and then it just went about its business," he said.
The presence of coyotes has reportedly been documented in all 67 counties in Florida.
While coyote numbers appear to have stabilized in the north and central areas of the state, their numbers may continue to increase in South Florida because coyotes reached the area more recently.
"The answer to the problem here is prevention," Gary Morse, a local FWC spokesman, said.
"Don't let them become comfortable in and around human habitation," he said.
Coyotes often go where there is food, and they can be attracted to pet food that is left outdoors. Garbage, or rodents or other animals attracted to the garbage, may be an attraction for coyotes. Keep garbage cans sealed and eliminate other potential sources of food to help avoid attracting them.
"Pet food, bird seed, trash - don't leave it out," Morse said.
The FWC also recommends hazing coyotes with loud noises to encourage fear of humans and protecting small pets as other ways to help minimize nuisance coyote problems in a community.
"Coyotes will prey on cats and small dogs," he said.
On May 20, a coyote attack on a dog was reported in the Cape.
It was about 11:30 p.m. when Mark Smith, of 2810 N.W. Second Place, took his dog outside.
"I had let her outside to go to the bathroom before bed," he said of the half-poodle half-bichon frise named Julie. "When she got to the corner of our yard, she heard something out by the bushes."
There is an open lot next door to Smith's residence with a bushy area.
Just as he drew close to Julie, a coyote jumped out of the bushes.
"At first I thought it was just a dog - I was like 2 feet from her," Smith said.
"It hit her, and she kind of ducked down, and they both rolled," he said.
In a knee-jerk reaction, Smith reached out and hit the coyote.
"That's how close I was to it," he said. "It immediately stopped and my dog ran up to the house."
"I would not recommend anybody do that," Smith added.
At that point, a second coyote appeared from the other side of the home.
"They didn't circle me, but they kind of ran in a circle and growled," he said.
Smith backed away toward his house and the coyotes ran off.
"I have never been that close to them, and the way they acted, it startled me," he said, adding that he had always heard that coyotes were skittish of people. "It happened so quick and I was right there."
Julie was not injured by the coyote.
"It didn't puncture her skin at all," Smith said.
The family now puts the dog on a leash for protection.
"It's a good idea, too, to make a lot of noise. If you go out and make noise and talk, they will more than likely stay away," he said, adding that he does not think the coyotes knew he was there that night.
"They would have grabbed her and been gone," Smith said.
According to Morse, coyote sightings have also been reported outside of the Cape.
"There's a lot more activity in North Fort Myers, right around the Paradise golf course," he said.
Between April and June, there was one recorded coyote attack on a dog in North Fort Myers that the owner of the dog witnessed. Three cats were also reported missing in the area by their owners.
"We can't definitely say coyotes got them, but they are suspected," Morse said of the cats.
Do not allow dogs and cats to roam freely. Be careful if walking a pet in wooded areas or areas where there are a lot plants growing, which could hide coyotes. Keep dogs on a short lease and cats inside.
"If you spot a coyote, you should probably head back to the house," he said.
Picking up a pet will usually deter a coyote, but use caution.
"Never get down on the coyote's level. Don't bend down," Morse said.
"You want to remain large and big," he added.
If a coyote gets closes, use a noisemaker or shout at the coyote and wave your arms. A solid walking stick or golf club can be a detergent, along with throwing stones or spraying it with a water hose.
According to the FWC, several coyote attacks on dogs and cats have been reported over the past few years in Florida. In some of the reported cases, pet owners were present at the time of the attack.
However, no humans have been the target of coyote attacks in Florida.
To report a coyote attack or encounter, call (888) 404-3922.

Unsuccessful bidders in fresh 2G auction to cease operation:SC
New Delhi: The Supreme Court today held that telecom companies which were unsuccessful in availing fresh 2G spectrum and those which did not participate in the auction process will cease to operate "forthwith".
However, telecom companies which were successful in the fresh auction held on November 12 and 14, 2012 will be asked to start their services in the respective circles immediately, the court ruled.
"The telecom companies which have been unsuccessful in the bidding and those after the cancellation of the licences did not participate in the fresh auction are directed to cease from continuing from operation forthwith and the successful bidders will immediately start in their respective circles," the court said.
A bench comprising justices G S Singhvi and K S Radhakrishnan directed that those telecom companies which were allowed to continue operation after scrapping of their licences by February 2, 2012 judgement will have to pay the reserved price fixed for the licences in the first round of the auction held in November 2012.
The apex court by its interim orders had extended the deadline for them to continue with the operation.
The bench clarified that the apex court's Feb 2, 2012 judgement will not be applicable on telecom companies holding the spectrum with 900 MHz band.
"The February 2, 2012 order will have no bearing on litigation relating to 900 MHz band," the bench said, adding that it (900 MHz band spectrum) was not the subject matter before it.
The bench also directed to immediately put on fresh auction entire 2G spectrum for the licences cancelled by it.

Committee Opinion Number 275, September 2002
(Replaces No. 121, April 1993, Reaffirmed 2019)
ABSTRACT: Effective rehabilitation and modern reproductive technology may increase the number of women considering pregnancy who have spinal cord injuries (SCIs). It is important that obstetricians caring for these patients are aware of the specific problems related to SCIs. Autonomic dysreflexia is the most significant medical complication seen in women with SCIs, and precautions should be taken to avoid stimuli that can lead to this potentially fatal syndrome. Women with SCIs may give birth vaginally, but when cesarean delivery is indicated, adequate anesthesia (spinal or epidural if possib...

For over six years this Life With MS Blog has been a resource to a growing number of people living with multiple sclerosis. More and more, in fact, we are seeing our blogs listed and linked in other pages around the web.
Yesterday morning, for instance, I saw the e-blast from Can Do MS. An icon on the side of the page looked interesting to me in this newsletter; intriguing, in fact. The title of the note was "Musings on Multiple Sclerosis on the cover of PEOPLE Magazine". I'd written (and many of you heartily commented on) a blog of that very title.
Clicking the link to "read the article" I was amused to see that it linked to our blog !
A couple dozen of you commented on the blog but we got thrice that number of people chiming in on our Facebook page.
This is just the latest example of this page – of OUR COMMUNITY – being noticed by the greater MS world. This could only happen because you are engaged, because you are honest and because you have made this a place like no other on the web.
When I have something that I wonder about MS, my first thought is to go back into the archives archives to see what you might have said on the topic in the past. I encourage anyone who has a question to spend a little time in those "stacks". You have helped more people than you'll ever know!
That's how I'll leave us for the weekend. Thanking you for your time and courage to share your thoughts, ideas and personal stories for the whole world to see, to read and from which to learn.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
Don't forget that you can also follow me via our Life With MS Facebook page, on Twitter, and our new group on MS Connection.org. Check out our bi-monthly blog for the UK and look for our Very Special new monthly blog for the National MS Society.

2 / Dreams and Visionsnext theme
Art, of course, is about seeing. But it is not always about representing the world as it exists, and sometimes it can allow us to see with more than our eyes. From Aboriginal artists who paint the unseen forces of the universe to Surrealists who looked into the recesses of the unconscious mind for inspiration, people have found many ways to record ephemeral feelings, unknowable mysteries, personal fantasies, and inner visions. At the same time, art has been used as a tool to inspire and guide dreams and visions, both secular and spiritual.
