from my book THE PALEOLITHIC PARADIGM
"The Paleolithic paradigm" is the intellectual mold gripping the human mind since at least 70,000 B.C. It is the belief that certain rituals (actions or words) will influence a deity, and because of the influence, that deity will alter the outcome of events on planet Earth. Don't nearly all American athletes invoke God for victory? Maybe not, but more than enough athletes thank Jesus for…Continue

This is from my Kindle book 2048 (Terry Stocker)
In the year 2048, aliens, calling themselves Nongdamgroveabeaders, arrive in our solar system and make brief communication with Earthlings. They have no intention of stopping at Earth. They had been to earth about 8000 years before when they were studying the universe. Archaeologists were able to confirm this with actual ancient figurines (illustrated in the book)! The Nongdamgroveabeaders inform Earthlings that they have…Continue

As lawmakers get back to work this week since breaking for their monthlong recess until Election Day, striking a deal on the fiscal cliff will be on the top of their minds.
Lawmakers, economic gurus and political pundits are voicing their optimism that some type of solution can be reached. As PIMCO CEO Mohamed El-Erian told "Bloomberg Surveillance" on Friday: "No one in their right mind would push our country into recession." El-Erian said that "the major issue for us is not that we resolve the fiscal cliff but do we do it in a way that allows Washington to pivot to turning headwinds into tailwinds."
Joe Lieber of Washington Analysis says that much of the real work, however, "will take place behind closed doors as negotiations begin," with "bicameral and bipartisan leadership" already being summoned to the White House on Friday "to begin laying the groundwork for a potential compromise."
Prior to the Friday meeting, President Obama plans to hold a series of fiscal-cliff themed meetings throughout the week "with everyone from the heads of progressive groups to business leaders," Lieber notes.
Even House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told members of his party after Obama was re-elected that they needed to fall in line. The New York Times reported that on a conference call after Election Day, Boehner told House Republicans that their party "lost, badly" and that "while Republicans would still control the House and would continue to staunchly oppose tax rate increases as Congress grapples with the impending fiscal battle, they had to avoid the nasty showdowns that marked so much of the last two years."
But Lieber notes in his "Washington This Week" analysis that even if Republicans "have appeared somewhat more conciliatory on taxes in the days following the elections, we continue to believe that any proposals that include an increase in tax rates are a likely non-starter. That said, GOPers from Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH) to Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) have acknowledged that new revenues via eliminating deductions and exemptions will be necessary."
Any agreement to extend most of the Bush tax cuts and "avert the sequester is slightly likely to slip into Q1 2013," Lieber notes. "This is due to the complexity surrounding the fiscal cliff itself, its many moving parts, the short six-week lame duck session, and John Boehner's upcoming re-election as Speaker of the House on Jan. 3. This likely serves to harden his unyielding position on tax rates, at least until after he is once again secure as Speaker."
Striking a "grand bargain" is also not likely during the lame-duck session, Lieber says. "Some have suggested that the Simpson-Bowles plan could be used as a 'trigger,' but it is difficult to see how this is possible. The plan has no legislative language, and it is short on details. Instead, it merely instructs Congress to come up with specific spending reduction plans. For such a plan to be feasible, Congress would first need to fill in the blanks."
However, Lieber notes that the next "potential catalyst for a grand bargain" will be the upcoming debt limit extension. The Treasury Department now expects this to be necessary in late December, Lieber says, "though it can utilize cash management tools to push that out by 60-75 days. If lawmakers pursue a one-year package, it would require at least $1 [trillion] to $1.4 trillion. To get through the next election cycle would require another $800 billion to $1 trillion, or $1.8-$2.3 trillion in total."
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has already said in published reports that if the $16.394 trillion current legal limit on the debt must be raised by another $2.4 trillion, "We'll raise it." That would set the debt limit at $18.794 trillion.
Lieber adds that "discretionary spending cuts in any serious amount seem unlikely, meaning that taxes and entitlements must be on the table. Of course, it would take the better part of a year for members to agree to such a package, if they can agree at all."

This month is full of celebrations at home. My hubby's B'day, my son's B'day and what else? My Blog's second Anniversary! My blog turned two on 11th March, just a day after my hubby's B'day. I wanted to make this a special post on 11th itself but I was all busy during these days, preparing something for my hubby's B'day and had to go out of town to do some shopping as well. Since the major shopping malls are not near our apartment, myself and my son took a bus to the main town centre. It was his first bus ride and he thoroughly enjoyed it, me too.
I can't just believe that I have been scribbling in here for 2 years!!I don't know if blog was the reason, but my cooking has gone much beyond than what I thought I would be able to do. Lots and lots of experiments, trying out new ingredients that comes in everyday cooking, discovering new taste, learning new cuisine and trying to perfect each and every dish has all become part of a blogging routine. I thoroughly enjoy cooking and trying out new dishes every time. There has been many success and quite a few failures (one happened even today.) during experiments which has to be eaten (Not the failed outcome) by my poor hubby and son and sometimes friends who come over. Bless them all. Blogging can also be stressful at times, for no reason, as if we are preparing for an exam or so. Lot to think about; which recipe to blog next, what to type, how to write, how the pictures should be, it's background and so and so, yeah, sounds like and international matter, right? I am definite that every blogger will be going through the same phase, thinking about blog matters every time apart from sleeping.
Apart from all that, blogging has gifted me a bunch of beautiful friends who has become so close to me over time. There is also a beautiful network of virtual friends who I am regular in contact with through comment section and sometimes orkut. I would like to thank each and every one including my readers for their encouragement and their appreciation through out and accepting me in the blogger's world.
Now coming to the recipe, I have posted another recipe of brownies long back when then I promised to post brownies which uses cocoa powder. One of my readers 'Faina' had asked me for an easy dessert recipe and this one is for her. I found this recipe so easy to prepare; hardly took me any time. When I go for any recipes, I am always on the lookout for one that uses minimum amount of butter. I wanted to make a small batch of brownies, just to satisfy my chocolate craving. I followed a recipe from http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mmm-Mmm-Better-Brownies/Detail.aspx. This was one with loads of great reviews from people. So, I made it over the weekend and took half of it to our friends place. They loved it so much that the whole stuff got over the same night. If i had kept it at home myself and my son would have finished the whole stuff by myself. We just could take our hands off the pan. I kept on pinching small bits from the corner of the brownie little by little just to realise that a huge portion has already been eaten! This time I dint add any nuts to the brownie because my son hates nuts in his cakes. You may add them if you wish. I wanted to add a bit of coffee granules in the recipe as well but remembered them only when I popped the pan into the oven!
Now,to check the doneness of the brownie, insert a skewer into the centre of the cake and you should be able to see little moist and sticky crumbs at the tip of the skewer. That is if you like your brownie to be fudgy and slightly chewy. I guess I like mine really underdone, so I might reduce the cooking time even further. The batter itself was so delicious:).
½ cup plain flour
1/3 cup (5 Tbsp) Cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (if small, use 3)
1/3 cup (50g)white chocolate, cut into chunks (optional)
1/3 cup (50g) dark chocolate, cut into chunks (optional)
½ cup (113g) butter melted
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp baking powder
½ Tbsp vanilla extract
1. Preheat an oven to 175 degrees Celsius and line a 8 inch cake tin with baking paper. Melt butter in a sauce pan, on low heat. Once completely melted, add sugar and mix well. Let it cool completely.
2. Add vanilla extract and eggs and mix thoroughly using a wire whisk, just to breakup eggs and get a homogenous mixture.
3. In a separate bowl, sift flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt. Make sure there are no lumps.
4. Add this sifted flour mixture to the egg and sugar mixture. Mix well using a spoon.
5. Add the chocolate chunks and mix well.
6. Pour this batter onto the prepared tin and bake for about 30 minutes.
1. Make sure you don't add eggs to hot butter and sugar mixture; else you will end up having scrambled eggs!
2. You don't have to use an electric blender to whisk and don't over beat after the addition of eggs.
3. While melting butter, make sure you melt at low heat. High heat can burn butter.

Guest Review: Hitachi Magic Wand
Author: by Lippy Imp Originally appeared on www.JanesGuide.com
I have bad news for dogs: they are no longer man's best friend. This title now officially belongs to the Hitachi Magic Wand, or "Cadillac of Vibrators" as many fans call it. While it is often thought of as a woman's sex toy, I hereby declare the Magic Wand the best sex toy for men.
For the uninitiated, the Hitachi Magic Wand is an old-school electric wand vibrator, looks nothing like a penis, and is designed for external stimulation (though a variety of sold-separately accessories can change that in a hurry). And while you could certainly use it to massage other parts of your body, the Hitachi Magic Wand is best known for its ability to please your own personal Netherlands.
Originally, I bought the Hitachi Magic Wand for my girlfriend, and the results were otherworldly. But when she held its vibrating head against the underside of my cock, I had a bed-breaking orgasm in less than a minute. I came so hard that I gave myself an unintended facial (which may or may not be a selling point). Since then, I've used the Magic Wand every time I want a quick and powerful orgasm, and it has never let me down.
My girlfriend and I incorporate the Hitachi Magic Wand into all forms of sex play. While she's going down on me, she puts the head of the Hitachi Magic Wand under her chin as I get closer to orgasm. This makes my orgasms so intense that they shake pictures in other people's houses. Here's another one: with the head of the Hitachi Magic Wand held in the palm of your hand with your thumb, ring finger and pinky, insert the remaining fingers into the vagina and work the G-spot. Not only is the head of the vibrator up against her vulva, but now your fingers are also vibrating inside of her. (Note: If she tends to ejaculate, you might wanna plug the vibrator into a GFI outlet just in case. I don't think there's a danger of shock, but that would be an embarrassing story to tell to the ER attendants at the very least.) Girls, you can try a similar trick with your boy, placing the vibrating head against his tain't (you know, tain't the balls, tain't the asshole, but that spot in between). It's heaven.
The Hitachi Magic Wand has two speeds: low and high. "Low" is plenty to get you off. "High" is powerful enough to reshuffle your DNA. The motor isn't exactly quiet either, so be careful if you want your pleasure time to go unnoticed.
My only gripe about the Hitachi Magic Wand is that the cord is a little short, maybe 4 or 5 feet long. More than once, it's become unplugged at the wrong time. But that's what extension cords are for, right?
Priced at $54, the Hitachi Magic Wand gives you more bang for your buck than any other sex toy on the market. And while it will never give you the unending love and companionship that a dog can offer, it's cheaper than a visit to the vet and will never poop on your rug.

The E36 is not as valuable as the Ford GT even with the MKIV Supra added in but it is hardly chump change. MKIV Supras only continue to go up in value and E36's have a cult following.
The original video was deleted but this mirror is up. It shows someone on a skateboard capture the whole thing.
Apparently the Canadian shop was using the E36 to film a video without permission and the shop manager lost control and just happened to hit the parked Supra that was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
If someone knows the name of the shop, kindly pass it along. They should go out of business.

A Political Trial at the ICC? Why, of Course!
Imagine Nick Clegg is to stand trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for crimes against humanity. I appreciate some Huffington Post readers might see such a case as perfectly reasonable, but also imagine for a moment that the witnesses on which the case rests have been sourced and then coached by members of the Conservative Party. Imagine also the Chief Prosecutor of the case is Jeremy Kyle, a TV judge famous for dishing out on-air justice to the amusement of the masses. Does this all seem reasonable?
Well, this case is actually taking place, but the man on trial is not our Nick but Uhuru Kenyatta, deputy prime minister of Kenya. For the Conservatives in this real-life parable, read the Orange Democratic Movement, the party of the current Kenyan premier Raila Odinga, a man who shares power with Kenyatta in a coalition government.
And our media-friendly ringmaster is Luis Moreno-Ocampo, a man who, before being appointed ICC chief prosecutor was the finger-wagging star of a ludicrous show on Argentinian television called "La Corte del Pueblo", or The People's Court.
Ocampo, who has counted footballer Diego Maradona among his clients, has been in the news of late because of the prosecution of Thomas Lubanga, a Congolese warlord. Yet this has been his only completed case since being handed the hallowed ICC post nine years ago – an abysmal record.
Because of his failure, his publicity instincts have kicked in – up to a point. His recent call for the arrest of Joseph Kony (a Ugandan warlord whose Lord's Resistance Army has been in decline for years) has helped publicly deflect most criticism of his methods. But the conclusion of the Lubanga case has exposed his office as running witness-sourcing and evidence-gathering operations that would not be admissible in a kangaroo court, let alone for a body expected to deliver the highest levels of international justice.
At the Lubanga trial, Britain's Justice Sir Adrian Fulford tore into Ocampo: decrying his preference for gathering witness statements for the prosecution by remote control; for using local intermediaries in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to source witness statements subsequently co-drafted by the ICC; and for coaching witnesses prior to their appearance at trial.
Fulford threw out many of Ocampo's witness statements, warning that they were at best deeply flawed, due to the seemingly coercive methods through which they were sourced, and at worst the statements of perjurers. He also warned these intermediaries and even people working within Ocampo's office they may be prosecuted for their actions.
For his part, the ICC's chief prosecutor has defended the gathering of evidence by proxy, saying (not unreasonably) that since the DRC is too dangerous for ICC officials to visit, the process had to be done locally.
This may be the case in the badlands of the Congo, but Ocampo has employed precisely the same methods in gathering evidence for the Kenyatta case in Nairobi.
Is Kenya similarly dangerous? Prince William thought not, when he chose to propose to the now
Duchess of Cambridge on Kenya's rolling grasslands. Or ask the Prada-clad armies of Chelsea and Cheshire who flock to the country every year in search of safari, wilderness, and their inner selves. Compare this with the dense jungle and dawn patrols of Congo, a country where tourism is only for the stout of heart, or the generally deranged.
There is simply no personal, practical or legal reason why Ocampo and his inner circle could not have gathered witness statements directly, on the ground, in Kenya.
Instead they used intermediaries – such as a local charity branded the "Kenya Human Rights
Commission" and another organisation named the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights who were particularly helpful when it came to the witnesses. One of its Commissioners a Mr Omar Hassan it is alleged handily unearthed some of the main witness for the ICC's prosecution. (One such witness, incidentally, has proven himself to be utterly unreliable, having changed his statement on no fewer than four occasions, including attempting once to retract his statement completely).
Hassan's good work has not gone unnoticed. He has since been appointed vice chairman of the Friends of Raila, an organisation working to elect Odinga to the Presidency in upcoming elections.
Surely, you would think a witness who has changed his statement on multiple occasions, having been assisted by an intermediary whose intentions were so palpably political, should be dismissed by any reasonable provincial court, let alone the ICC.
Yet the answer to that question would currently seem to be a resounding "No". There is another player
left to introduce in this twisting little tale: none other than our very own Foreign Office.
Our boys over there, who have spent the past decade seeking to rewrite history from the wrong side of the fence, are chipping in the funding for the witness protection scheme for the Kenyan case. Millions of pounds of taxpayer money have been lavished on the ICC case by the Foreign Office. Britons are paying for the ICC's chief witness to live a life of pleasant anonymity in the United States.
The Foreign Office also seems to rather like Odinga, whose supporters have been so helpful sourcing witnesses. We have rolled out the red carpet for him on three separate official visits to Britain. Since 2007 he has met David Cameron, Gordon Brown and Prince Charles.
Compare that to the number of official visits to the UK afforded to Mwai Kibaki, president of Kenya since 2002: none. We must like Odinga an awful lot.
So what happens next? Many observers are muttering that the Kenyatta case may collapse given the way the evidence has been gathered. Ocampo's disastrous tenure at the ICC ends in June, after which he will presumably return to Argentina to preside over more televisual gavel-bashing. Justice Fulford, considered by the international legal profession to be a class act, is meanwhile expected to return to Britain, to preside – or so it is rumoured – over Chris Huhne's speeding trial.
To borrow the old American political saying, one is left with the distinct impression that the Foreign Office has left us carrying a dead chicken around town. Britain has officially, and highly politically, opted to support the incumbent premier of an African state in an election he is unlikely to win. Our boys in the Foreign Office have also tied us to a case that even the ICC, it would appear, doesn't believe in, thanks to the highly controversial methods of its chief prosecutor.
Perhaps the Kenyan Foreign Office will retaliate and call for a trial of Nick Clegg and fund the witness protection scheme while members of the Conservative Party gather evidence against him. Jeremy Kyle could even preside. Don't bet against it.

CMOS based x-ray panels for fluoroscopy, dental imaging
Dalsa Corporation [TSX: DSA], a global leader in digital image sensing technology, produces the first in a family of dynamic CMOS X-ray detector panels. The new Xineos purportedly represents the industry's first standard CMOS flat-panel detector to deliver high speed, low dose imaging without compromises in resolution.
Dalsa's CMOS
Dalsa said it developed Xineos to deliver better sensitivity and signal-to-noise performance compared to other standard technologies at equal X-ray dose conditions. CMOS image detectors offer numerous advantages including ability to record faint image details at higher resolutions – allowing for the diagnostics of medical anomalies at earlier stages, and significantly increasing the probability of early intervention, patient recovery, and reduced treatment costs.
"With the introduction of Dalsa's Xineos line of digital imaging X-ray panels, we are leveraging our CMOS technology to maximize the signal and minimize sources of noise in X-ray imaging," stated Bryan Delodder, Xineos product manager at Dalsa. "In low dose conditions where competing products fail to distinguish faint signals due to noise, our advanced CMOS detectors excel to deliver the clearest images possible."
Low-dose applications
In dental applications, the Xineos-1313-EO is designed to operate at full resolution for both frame-based panoramic imaging, at frame rates exceeding 300 fps, as well as for Medium Field of View (MFOV) Cone Beam CT applications at 30 fps. An optional "Sequence Memory" enables storing an entire CBCT image sequence inside the detector, allegedly eliminating the need for rescans due to data acquisition loss during the actual CBCT scanning procedure.
In medical applications, the Xineos-1313-FL is optimized for fluoroscopic imaging, purportedly offering the highest X-ray sensitivity combined with lowest readout noise. Xineos enables real-time imaging for cardiac, vascular, orthopedic as well as other minimally-invasive procedures that depend on real-time imaging, with minimum patient dose.
Gigabit Ethernet, simplifies connectivity, operation, company said
Xineos products are equipped with Dalsa's hardware and software implementation of the industry standard GigE Vision data interface. Xineos can reportedly connect almost any computer within minutes to produce low-noise, real-time, high resolution X-ray images.

Over 800 people, including a half dozen of the world's most beautiful women, were at Wednesday's black-carpet reception at the Museum of Fine Arts for famed photographer
Mario Testino, the subject of a provocative new exhibit at the museum.
Gisele Bundchen, the Brazilian-born supermodel who's BFF with Testino, made the scene, as did angular A-list models Karlie Kloss, Constance Jablonski, Bianca Balti, Candice Swanepoel, Edita Vilkeviciute, Alessandra Ambrosio, Erin Wasson, Sigrid Agren, Joan Smalls, and Kiara Kabukuru.
Bundchen, wearing a black Halston dress with a black Tom Ford jacket, exploded onto the carpet, announcing her arrival by hollering "Mario!" Thus summoned, the photographer rushed over and patted Bundchen's ample belly. (She's pregnant.)
"I have known Mario since I was 16 years old. He's a sweetheart," said Gi, who told museum staff she would not answer any personal questions. "Mario always makes people look sexy. . . . It's that Latin way of seeing people."
The freakishly tall Kloss, in a Pucci gown, said Testino is one of a kind with a camera: "Mario makes women look beautiful because he makes women feel beautiful. . . . Everybody loves Mario.''
Also making their way to the MFA for the private party were museum director Malcolm Rogers (who beamed "This feels like New York''), Vogue editor Anna Wintour, Hamish Bowles, Vogue's international editor-at-large, Derek Blasberg, editor-at-large at Harper's Bazaar, Testino's brother Giovanni and sister Carla, Nadja Swarov-ski, a member of the museum's executive board, Jane Weitzman, wife of exhibition sponsor Stuart Weitzman, Visionnaire's Cecilia Dean, and actress Olivia Palermo.
Said Wintour: "It's wonderful to see someone so talented and so humble to have such great success. I was urging him to be a little more conservative with the show. It's Boston.''
Asked if Boston is ready for Testino's pictures, which show a bit more skin than MFA patrons are accustomed to, Rogers smiled. "We'll find out, won't we? I wouldn't mind a little bit of controversy."
Others on the guest list included chef Ken Oringer, Extreme members Gary Cherone and Pat Badger, designer Sam Mendoza, TV types Bianca de la Garza, Emily Rooney, Jared Bowen, and J.C. Monahan, Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Linda Holliday, "Style Boston" host Terri Stanley, and hockey player Sean Avery, who said it's "always nice to attend an event with pretty girls and pretty pictures."
Earlier Wednesday, Testino stopped by the MFA to answer a few questions about the exhibits, "In Your Face" and "British Royal Portraits," which go on view to the public beginning Oct. 21.
Sitting cross-legged and clad head-to-toe in black, Testino told the audience, "You've got to be you, and that's a very hard thing to do."
That's particularly true, he said, if you don't look like Bundchen, one of his favorite muses and a woman he described to us simply as "va-va-voom." (Truer words — or sounds — have never been uttered.)
The celebrity shutterbug said that while editing photos of Tom Brady's lady, he always scans for problems or imperfections.
"And she has no problems. I'm telling you, it's perfect," he said. "Everything, the skin, the hands, the ankles. . . . She is very lucky."
Word had it that Testino — not one to rest on his laurels — was planning to do a photo shoot for VMAN magazine at the Mandarin Oriental between Wednesday's press conference and the evening gala. With so many top models in town, who could blame him?
And last night he admitted, "Why lose time? All of the girls I like, they were all in Boston today.''
Speaking of VMAN, although Testino's recent shot for the mag of Tom Brady posed with an alarmingly upset Doberman has gotten plenty of attention, the photographer joked that he is not so familiar with the famed quarterback.
"He plays football, right?" said Testino, a native of Peru.
As it turned out, Brady couldn't make it to Wednesday night's party (he's got a big game against the Jets to worry about), but his wife wouldn't have missed it.

Well, it appears Page 2 is filling in some voids left by the Whitlock/Shanoff/Bayless exodus: According to The Big Lead, they have hired the Orlando Sentinel's Jemele Hill to a two-year deal.
Hill, most famous for her Riding Around With Athletes series and a private blog she wrote a while back that had some dopey white male sports reporters' panties all in an unnecessary bunch, should end up with a rather prominent space on that Page 2 masthead. How do we know? Because The Big Lead is reporting that she is — get ready — going to be paid $400,000 during her two-year stint.
No offense to Hill, but ... jiminy christmas.
So, anybody else looking for a job with The Leader, we suggest you start polishing up your resumes. And all you newspaper people reading this, please stop hitting yourself in the face with that shovel.

When starting your online business many people might think that it takes hundreds or even thousands of dollars to get a website up and running. While you can actually pretty much put that much into it, do not! Unless you got the kinda of money that you can throw away and not have to worry about who can, especially these days!
There are also people who will jump in at the next day. Or they move from one opportunity to the next and before they know they have spent an enormous amount of money and not one thing or sale to show for it. Do not make this mistake that so many do. I myself spent a lot of money and countless hours when I first started out thinking this was my get rich fast opportunity. The truth is that you really need a few things to start your own business online and it can be done with a very tiny budget.
The only three things that you really need to spend is a domain name, web hosting and a good autoresponder. Yes believe it or not that's really it. You can have all three of those too for as little as 90 cents a day. Think you can find 90 cents a day? That's less than a cup of coffee from your favorite coffee shop!
So you can start your own business. And the big business opportunity deals, forget about them. Just remember the old saying "if it sounds to good to be true" well you know the rest of that line right? To start and grow your own business online do not have to be expensive or drain your savings but it is going to take some time and effort and good old fashion work!
For your website, there are a few options to get started (in my opinion) is WordPress. It is an easy to set up blog site that you can get going in no time at all and it's really the most common these days. I'm sure all of you have now posted a site or commented on a blog site created with WordPress. The best part is WordPress is completely free. If you want to have a standard website there are free tools and templates that you can get for that type of website as well.
Depending on what you want to do online you can find your site online presence. If you need to accept credit card orders you can use Clickbank or many people use Paypal, since Paypal only charges when you make a sale its the perfect setup for some people and its stars accepted.
So once again do not fall into that website when staring your own online business. Whether it is to set it up or buying into these "business opportunities". Save your money and once you start making money online then you can invest in it a little for advertising or what you may think you need to grow your online business. After all it's going to take some time to get things set up, earn some credibility and get visitors to your website. So be patient, keep your money in your wallet and do not bury yourself before you even get started.

This is a post that I never thought I would write. After 32 years with BMW and the last 22 at Peter Pan BMW I will be leaving my position as Service & Parts Director on February 3rd. This was not an easy decision and I was not looking for a new job, but an opportunity within 15 minutes of my home was presented to me about 4 weeks ago. After much discussion with my family and research on my part I have accepted the position as Service & Parts Director @ Beshoff Motorcars - Mercedes/AMG in San Jose.
Peter Pan BMW has been the best organization I have ever been associated with. I have been treated tremendously well by the Penske Group as well as my General Manager. My employees are some of the most talented people I know and that makes it all that harder to leave. My reasons for leaving are strictly personal quality of life issues, a desire to be closer to home and a bigger part of my family.
I have crossed paths and developed lasting friendships with many of you. I have always considered it my honor to work on your cars and support your passion for BMW.
Matt Carver will still be here to work on your cars (as soon as his leg heals) and I will have a person in place to address any needs you may have. I will also still be happy to facilitate anything that may arise and make sure you are put in proper contact with someone here at Peter Pan BMW.
Once I am in my new position, I will post my contact info. My cell phone will remain the same, only email will be different.
If any of you have Mercedes or AMG needs, I will be able to take care of those as well now!
Again, I thank you for your confidence in myself and my team, I will always love BMW. Its all I've known for my entire automotive career. I'm sure I will grow to like Mercedes as well.
With my deepest respect and gratitude,
Dana Caldwell

In 1983, Malcolm McLaren released two singles, Buffalo Gals and Double Dutch, both of which becoming worldwide top-10 smash-hits. Those two tracks hit the international music charts before his LP Dutch Rock was released. Dutch Rock album proved to be highly influential, bringing hip-hop to a wider audience, especially in the UK.
In 1984, Malcolm changed his tune to opera on his next maxi/EP single release of Madam Butterfly which was an electronic, synth-pop modern-classic track, based on Giacomo Puccini's 1902 classic-opera Madam Butterfly's - "Un Bel Di Vedremo" final aria (watch videos below). For those of you who are not familiar with Puccini, perhaps you might recognize his "Nessun Dorma" aria from his Turandot opera (which is still part of today's popular culture). Nessun Dorma has achieved pop-status by Luciano Pavarotti's recording of it, used as the theme song of BBC's television's coverage of the 1990 FIFA World Cup soccer in Italy; and it subsequently reached #2 on the UK singles music chart (the highest placing ever by a classical recording).
Malcolm McLaren's Madam Butterfly is arranged with a drum-machine, atmospheric synthesizers and spoken/sung R&B verses (with opera backup vocals). The production on Malcolm's Madam Butterfly is stellar. The track was produced by Steven Hague who settled for nothing but the best in overall production. I know for a fact that a Fairlight CMI-2 was used, because Madam Butterfly (Un Bel Di Vedremo) starts with the Fairlight's famous factory sound-preset "aah" voices coming in slowly and rising gradually in amplitude, serving as a bed/pad sound layered in the background throughout the track. Watch music video below to hear that sound. I know all the Fairlight sounds inside-out, because I've heard them millions of times since 1980 when the Fairlight beast of a sampler/workstation instrument was used on countless of tracks by other famous artists and groups in that era (for it's unique sound, powerful sample/sound processing engine and music sequencer). Watch this video of the Fairlight being demonstrated by Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. As for the chord melody in Madam Butterfly, it is a sound of an upright-harp with softer/slower attack transient; though there's no telling what synthesizer or sampler brand used for it. It could've been a custom-sampled harp sound for the Fairlight, or a factory-sample bank coming from a then-popular E-mu Emulator-II, but my guess is that the harp and the bassline-sound were factory-preset patches from a Yamaha DX7 synth. Watch this YouTube demo of the DX7. Harp sounds from synths and samplers sound almost exactly the same and very difficult to distinguish them apart. Also, the drum-machine used in Madam Butterfly is an Oberheim DMX (which was just as popular as Roland TR-808, LinnDrum and E-mu Drumulator and SP-12 drum-machines at that time).
Attention new music producers: I have compiled and categorized .wav samples of almost every classic drum-machine and electronic drum-kits made by man. Download drum_kits.zip
I used to own the 12″ vinyl of Madam Butterfly which I bought in 1984 from Our Price record store in Uxbridge town center (Hillingdon, Buckinghamshire, UK). But I gave it to my friend Mister P-Body (Arizona) in June 2001 (just before I moved back to West Vancouver, BC, Canada, on July 1, 2001), as I had already owned a copy of it on CD-single which I'd purchased in 1988. To this day, I'm still playing the track over and over again. I have never gotten (and still never get) sick of listening to Madam Butterfly — takes on me on long mind trips each time.

Sivaratri on the lovely isle of Mauritius is a national holiday and a coming together of Saivites, Vaishnavites, Smartas and - it's true - even Christians. This year, a record-breaking 400,000 devotees participated in Siva's Holy Night. It is known that for Hindus everywhere Sivaratri is a day of joy coupled with spiritual sacrifices - including fasting, staying awake in worshipful consciousness all night long, visiting the temple, etc. But in Mauritius this is but the beginning of the main test of devotion - an arduous pilgrimage which loudly proclaims the love and dedication of the people to all the world.
Mauritius is a miniscule island-country 'floating' in the peaceful Indian Ocean 1,300 miles from the coast of South Africa, 3,500 miles from Bombay, India and 3,900 miles from Perth, Australia. It is a mere 750 square miles in size, its brilliant beaches strung pearl-like around its 100-mile coast. It is strewn with scattered rock formations, like Siva Lingoes, erupting from the thick green carpet of sugar cane and tropical foliage, criss-crossed by clear bubbling springs and graced with every beauty from shore to shore.
The races in Mauritius are a stew chef's delight, mixed beautifully and peacefully. Fifty-two percent of the population is Hindu, including Tamils, Hindis, Marathis, Urdis and others. It is one of the few nations on the earth where Hindus enjoy political control, though politics and religion tend to keep a wise distance.
History has brought this island jewel under the sway of the French and, more recently, the British, and these two are the actual and official national languages. History has taken a dramatic turn for Mauritius. In less than 200 years it has been transformed from a totally uninhabited island paradise to the third most densely populated land mass on the earth - 950,000 people now reign in Mauritius following their independence from England in 1968.
On February 11th, fully one-half of Mauritius undertook a pilgrimage for Lord Siva that would buckle the knees of many hearty and healthy souls - a 40-mile hike to Grand Bassian, a five-acre bowlshaped lake perched dramatically atop the island's central highlands in a natural volcanic cavity. It was a spectacular sight, pilgrims crowding every path and roadway, men women and children - some carrying large, heavy, flower-bedecked kavadees, all braving tropical suns and drenching rains for a single purpose - to reach the shores of the 2,400 foot high sacred lake, gather its special waters into small vessels and pots, pour half of that over a large white marble Siva Lingam enshrined nearby, and then trek another 20 miles back down the mountain where, on Maha Sivaratri day, the remaining water was lovingly poured over the Siva Lingam in their own home shrine, seeking His blessings and guidance through yet another year.
How rare it is to find a sub-tropical island where Saivism is so strong, where there are 125 Siva temples, dozens and dozens of Hindu institutions, and which is called "Siva Alayam" or "Siva's Place" by all the population: where Sivaratri is a national holiday supported by local banks and businesses, and where devotion is powerful enough to draw so many to endure the hardships of a 3-day trek. A new awareness is arising throughout Mauritius, a new pride in their forefather's Hindu roots, a new resistance to the efforts of the minority Christians and Muslims to convert members to their own faith. The Hindu people of Mauritius are a proud people from a rich Hindu background and their strength and commitment may help those in other lands to hold fast to the oldest and, in the view of the devout, the most profound religion in the world.

One of the most common and widespread warblers. Breeds in forested areas with at least some conifers. Found in open woods and shrubby areas during migration and winter, including coastal vegetation, parks, and residential areas. Forages for insects, often sallying out to snatch them in midair. Also eats berries in winter. Often travels in large flocks. Two subspecies: "Audubon's" in the West and "Myrtle" in the East. "Audubon's" has a yellow throat in all plumages. "Myrtle" has whitish throat. Most abundant wintering warbler in the U.S.

I posted on THEREVLyle's youtube's page, he's a pastor debating with one of my favorite atheists (a former priest) Edward Tarte. I put up a comment where I said I supported ED and that I was a Former Baptist Sunday School teacher. I wrote that my questioning of the morality of the bible led to my eventual atheism and that hell was wrong no matter what context it was in.
Here's his response:
Atheists were never Christian. That statement alone proves that you DO NOT know scripture and evidently never did.
My knee jerk reaction was literally nausea, questioning the morality of the Bible and hell gave me a lot of pain especially in dealing with the loss of my brother who "hadn't found God" before he died. I'm now laughing about his ignorance but I'm worked up enough to post it here.
Views: 59
thank you :)
Jean Marie, thank you. You're right about him being pretty far gone at the moment. I've been in that situation, looking back I realize how flipant and dismissive I was. I've heard the "atheists were never Christian" argument before and just thought it was funny. Afterall, like he can't show me god because it's based on faith I cannot "show" him my heart and what I believed. Kinda ironic isn't it?
I do not believe it is ignorance on the part of religion, I just believe thet a vast amount do not have the courage to admit the evil contained in Bibles and many, many will not 'come out' because they are not brave enough to voice their true thoughts. Science has to give proof so why not religion. Religion is the best way of control as we all already know.
Look at the brave men coming back from the war with lost limbs, deformed bodies, then tell me there is a good 'god'.
Exactly Elaine. I did get into a debate before where I could disprove miracles and soldiers losing limbs was a good start. Afterall cancer can go in remission but noone has ever regrown a limb!
Wow, thanks for sharing! The Bapist church I went to also had a denomination superiority complex, they did not consider Catholics Christian nor Assemblies of God. The hypocrisy started my doubts. I would like to share my deconversion story with you, it was pretty abrupt actually. On the way to church one day I told my husband that I didn't want to go, we pulled into a starbucks got a cup coffee and had a nice long chat in the parking lot. I haven't been back to church since. In two years I've gone from a devout Christian to a staunch atheist. Atheists were mostly alien to me as well, I certainly had misconceptions. I don't have time right this minute, but I'll share my experience as a Sunday school teacher and how it changed my perspective on the Bible. Thanks again Jean, feel like I have a few friends here already :)
I have had the same reaction from xtians. The response to finding out that I used to believe is that I must have never truly been christian. Its an arogant and baseless argument.
They think that if we knew what they did then we could never deny their god. Its a way for them to build themselves up without having to think about what they actually believe in.
I gotta echo what everyone else is saying: by giving that reply, it is denying that anyone could ever be a "true" Christian and eventually choose to become an Atheist. It is saying you never were right in the "eyes of the lord" to begin with(to use one of the phrases I commonly hear) and -that- is why you have "strayed so far", by saying this, it puts you as an already-outsider, even when you were leading Sunday School.
From my point of view, it's an easy way of denying everything you have gone through and dismissing it as being a freak accident or unlikely occurrence that could not possibly repeat itself.
I agree, and you're right about it being a defense mechanism. It's the easy way out, but it's a shame they use it. I don't see how they ever won an atheist back after saying what they felt or believed was fake and that they must not have read the Bible. I could tell that pastor I read the Bible cover to cover, more than once too but it won't make a lick of difference. Even if I went the route of challenging him with the Bible, he'd say I'm taking it out of context, or I don't understand the Bible. It's a circle and the only thing that could break it in my mind is if he goes through it himself.
Sarcastic response: Yes, and no True Christian® would ever masturbate. Seems there are not many True Christians® out there.
Haaa...the copyright symbol made me lol mightily.

Discover The Secrets Of Auditors
This story appears in the July 2000 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
If you want to stay ahead of the IRS, you should get to know the agency's Market Segment Specialization Program (MSSP). It provides industry-specific manuals, known as "audit techniques guides," to IRS auditors so they can do a better job uncovering tax violations.
Armed with these guides, auditors know what practices to look for when examining businesses. With the agency poised to strengthen tax collection, MSSP could keep your business on the right side of the tax man.
Remember that small-businesses are perceived by the government "to be an area where noncompliance with tax laws is widespread," says Susan Jacksack, a small-business analyst with CCH Inc., a provider of tax and business law information in Riverwoods, Illinois.
Joan Szabo is a writer in Great Falls, Virginia, who has reported on tax issues for more than 13 years.
A Plus For The IRS
The tax agency designed MSSP not only to improve the results of audits, but also to give auditors an edge. Tax advisors representing business owners "specialize to meet clients' needs," says one IRS official, who did not want to be identified. As a result, the IRS felt it was necessary "to expand its specialization into specific market segments to stay on a par with taxpayers and their representatives," says the official.
Rolled out nationally in 1993, MSSP has since published 53 guides, covering such industries as architecture, used-car dealerships and manufacturing. Research is underway on another 50 market segments, but not all will result in additional manuals, the IRS official says.
Another important part of the program is working with industry groups and associations to address industry concerns and ask for their support in complying with the agency's initiatives. The IRS says it has developed working relationships with a number of associations, including the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association, the National Restaurant Association, the Direct Selling Association and the National Association of Manufacturers.
What's In It For You
Although the guides were designed for IRS auditors, entrepreneurs can use them to their advantage. They're readily available to the public, and those who review the guides are certain to do a better job complying with the tax laws, says Mark H. Ely, national partner in charge of tax-controversy technical services for KPMG.
Unfortunately, the easy availability of the MSSP guides is often overlooked by small-business owners, Ely says. "Smaller companies haven't taken the opportunity to make use of the guides as much as they should."
Not only do the guides explain how the IRS expects you to operate your business from a tax standpoint, they also include information about IRS examination techniques, common and unique industry issues, specific business practices and terminology.
A good number of the guides focus on businesses that deal with cash. By giving auditors clues on how cash comes into a business, they can better determine if it is being properly reported so the IRS gets its share. The guides are particularly thorough and should be read carefully, says Ely.
Take the MSSP guide on car washes, for instance. It alerts auditors to the fact that many of these establishments are cash-oriented and have weak internal controls. As a result, auditors are on the lookout for unreported income. They may even want a tour of the business site to search for unreported income from things like vending machines from other parts of the building.
If you operate a pizza restaurant, know that the MSSP guide tells auditors that restaurant suppliers' invoices and the amounts of ingredients purchased may be compared to the pizzerias' menus and records. If necessary, the IRS will analyze the pizza in labs to determine the recipe used.
If you run a bed-and-breakfast, you'll need to demonstrate that you're not using your business to pay for and deduct personal expenses. If an auditor makes a visit, it's important to be able to show, for example, that your business isn't paying for the groceries you buy for your own personal use. A good way to avoid problems in this area is to keep two checkbooks-one for your business and one for yourself-and write separate checks for your personal expenses and those related to your business.
For manufacturers, employment taxes are likely to get the auditor's attention. He or she will ask the reasons for treating workers as independent contractors. If you request an opinion letter from an attorney on this issue after the IRS starts its examination, the agent is less likely to be persuaded that the individuals in question are actually independent contractors. A better idea: Request the letter when you first hire individuals as independent contractors.
Construction contractors are advised to carefully read the guide on their industry. The IRS wants contractors to treat the materials of their trade, such as plywood and drywall, as "inventory" and use the accrual method of accounting. This is preferable to treating the materials as supplies and using the cash method, the guide maintains. Auditors will also be looking for double-deduction abuses in single-entry bookkeeping systems, such as costs that are both capitalized and expensed in the current period.
If you find sections of the guides difficult to understand because of the technical nature of the information, ask your accountant for help. Check to see if you need to change any procedures to achieve better compliance.
Most important, finding out what the IRS identifies as key issues for your industry or profession can "help reduce the possibility that you'll be next in line for an audit," says Jacksack. In addition, if you're just starting a business, the guides can be especially useful with regard to the types of records you need to keep, she points out.
Even if a guide doesn't exist yet for your industry, Jacksack says it pays off to review those in similar industries to garner useful tax information: "By analogy, you can draw some useful conclusions."

I've had a lot of requests for this album and which appears to be
rather hard to come across. Ripped from my vinyl copy complete
with the wonderful early 80's artwork, this is a gem.
The wikipedia bio below gives you the low down on James Freud's
music career up until the breakup of the Models in 1988,
after which he released another solo album
"Step into the heat" which is already posted here.
This year he released " See You In Hell "(not called Lazarus
as I reported earlier), his first solo studio album since
'Step Into The Heat' which I hadn't even heard about until
researching for this.For more info check out his website here.
This is a fun album, very much in the early 80's New Wave genre,
the album art, which I had forgotten about made me laugh out
loud when I pulled the inner sleeve out this week
(hadn't seen sunlight for 20 years I'd reckon), I just had to include
it in this post. The hit single from the album"Modern Girl"
for which I have found the video clip, is a fantastic song.
as is "Enemy Lines,"Mean Modulator" and "19 Again"
So expect lots of 80's synthesizers, Saxophone, lead guitar
breaks and pop tunes with James's wonderful vocals.
If you like the Models you can find a rip of the cassette
version of "Out of sight, out of mind" on Meggsy's
wonderful blog "The 80's Tapes"where all things
1980's are found Here
high school friend and guitarist Sean Kelly and drummer
Ian McFarlane. Their first performance was at Freud's
younger sister's slumber party after hearing the Sex Pistols
in 1977, Freud formed The Spred with Kelly and three others.
When the opportunity came to record a single
("I Wanna Be Your Baby"),later covered by Uncanny X-men ,
two members were fired and the band changed its name to
The Teenage Radio Stars. They performed the single on
Countdown. By 1980, Freud was recording as a solo performer
with a backing band, with whom he recorded a minor hit
single ("Modern Girl") and an album "Breaking Silence"
along with a large cast of session musicians.
In 1981, they renamed themselves James Freud and Berlin
and recorded the singles "Enemy Lines" and "Automatic Crazy"
before splitting up in 1982,
Freud joined the Models as bassist after the departure of
Mark Ferrie, (who now plays bass in the Rockwiz band on SBS)
reuniting with old collaborator Sean Kelly. Freud shared lead
vocalist duties on some songs, beginning with one of his
compositions, "Facing The North Pole In August" off the
"The pleasure of your company" album, recorded in 1983.
In 1985, 2 Freud-penned hits, "Barbados" and
"Out of Mind, Out of Sight",took the Models to numbers
#2 and #1 on the Australian top-ten charts respectively.
He remained in the band until they split up in 1988.

Arnica Montana Flowers
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 15, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Arnica Montana Flowers
Arnica Montana flowers (Arnica Montana Compositae), are flowers that grow in the wild in alpine meadows. The flowers are colored orange-yellow that look like daisies with tall stems and few leaves. This plant can grow in high places up to 8,500 feet in height, which gave it its other name of 'Mountain Tobacco'. Other names for Arnica Montana flowers are Leopard's Bane, Wolf's Bane and Mountain Arnica. The plant can grow as tall as two feet and Arnica Montana flowers produce oil used for therapy, such as massage therapy and aromatherapy.
Arnica Montana flowers contain sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids, volatile oil, phenol carbonic acid, and coumarins. The flowers are about five centimeters in diameter and supported by a tall stem of about twenty to sixty centimeters. Arnica Montana flowers are in bloom during the months of May until late August.
History and Origin
Arnica Montana flowers, is a plant used since the 16th century as medication for muscular aches and pains, bruises, and rheumatism. These plants used to cover the entire regions of America and Europe, particularly from Iberia to Scandinavia and Carpathians. However, Arnica Montana flowers are now becoming rare since it has become increasingly difficult to grow them successfully. It takes a lot of patience and watchful cultivation in a particular type of soil to make them grow properly.
Arnica Montana flowers were used both externally and internally in the past. However, it is presently used more externally than internally. The remaining use of Arnica Montana flowers internally is for homoeopathic remedies.
Ancient Uses
For several centuries, extracts from Arnica Montana flowers were used for external treatment of black eyes, wounds, contusions, and sprains because of its anti-inflammatory properties. In Russian traditional medicine, Arnica Montana flowers extracts were used for the treatment of myocarditis, angina pectoris, uterine hemorrhage, cardiac insufficiency, and many more uses.
Modern Uses
The dark brown and clear liquid extracts from the Arnica Montana flowers are used in the production of numerous types of products such as skin care products, shampoos, skin fresheners, hair products, and hair conditioners. Extracts from Arnica Montana flowers have also been listed by the Food and Drug Administration as natural flavoring essence for food production. The techniques used in preparing the extracts from Arnica Montana flowers are gentle disintegration and hydroalcoholic maceration.
Arnica Montana flowers are also used externally for edema due to fracture, joint problems, dislocations, rheumatic muscle pains, and hematoma. It is also used as a remedy for furunculosis and superficial phlebitis. The different preparations from Arnica Montana flowers have antiphlogistic activity when applied as topical medicine and analgesic and antiseptic activity when used for inflammations. Recent clinical tests have showed that a gel made from fresh flowers is beneficial for the osteoarthritis of the knee.
Side Effects
Prolonged use of Arnica Montana flowers in treating damaged skin, such as injuries, may sometimes cause edematous dermatitis and eczema. Higher concentrates applied to the skin may cause the formation of vesicles or necroses. Toxicologists claim that oral use of Arnica Montana flowers is possibly unsafe due to the presence of helenalin, which may cause poisoning when eaten in large amounts.

Garcia, Motte continue to make progress
MILWAUKEE -- Down at the Cardinals' spring complex in Jupiter, Fla., pitchers Jason Motte and Jaime Garcia continue to make progress in their individual throwing programs.
Garcia advanced to facing hitters in a live batting practice session this week, and according to manager Mike Matheny, he is scheduled to appear in an extended spring game later this week. Garcia's progress was earlier delayed by bursitis in his surgically repaired left shoulder.
Motte is further along in his rehab work and is poised for a new test this week. After throwing almost 20 pitches in an extended spring game Monday, he will appear in another on Thursday, and then again on Saturday. That will mark the first time he will face hitters with just one day off in between outings.
"We'll see how I recover from that," Motte said Wednesday. "The last game was a step up from the previous time as far as velocity. We're getting closer each time out."
Motte said he and the Cardinals have not yet settled on a start date for a rehab assignment, which would allow Motte to faced increased competition at higher Minor League levels. The catch is that there is a 30-day limit for a pitcher's rehab assignment, so starting that countdown too early can be counterproductive.
Since gauging Motte's progress during Spring Training, the Cardinals have anticipated a May return for the right-handed reliever. That timeframe has not changed.
"It's one of those things where we're trying to get everything we can done before starting that clock," Motte said.

If you're in the market for a newly built home and you gamble on waiting until early next year, you might benefit from aggressive discounts offered by the biggest home builders.
D.R. Horton Inc. Chief Executive Donald Tomnitz didn't mince words on Tuesday in stating that the builder—the largest in the U.S. by number of homes sold—will roll out sales incentives across the country if the sluggish new-home market doesn't gain momentum by January and February. That's the start of the spring selling season, when builders traditionally make most of their sales.
"I don't think there's any question that we'll start with incentives if the (slow) pace continues into the strong selling season around Super Bowl Sunday," Mr. Tomnitz said on D.R. Horton's fourth-quarter earnings call with investors. "We have plans in place, coming in January, to make sure that we drive the right amount" of sales in relation to profit margins.

Compromise Puts Victory Within Michael Dell's Reach
Aug 2, 2013 1:41 PM PT
Just two days after a key part of Michael Dell's last offer was roundly rejected, the attempted buyout of his company on Friday took an unexpected turn. Specifically, Dell secured a significant voting concession from the special committee set up by the board of directors in exchange for upping the terms of the buyout deal.
The agreement Dell and partner company Silver Lake have struck is this: They will increase the purchase price from US$13.65 to $13.75 per share; they will pay out a special dividend at or before closing of $0.13 per share; and they guarantee that the third-quarter dividend of $0.08 per share will be paid at or before closing.
In return, the special committee has agreed to modify the voting standard so that the transaction will require approval by the majority of disinterested shares actually voting on the matter. They also pushed forward the record date from June 3 to Aug. 13 and rescheduled the final vote to Sept. 12.
'A Level Playing Field'
"We believe modifying the voting standard is in the best interests of Dell shareholders, both because it has enabled us to secure substantial additional value and because it provides a level playing field for the decision facing shareholders," said Alex Mandl, chairman of the special committee.
The revised definitive merger agreement has been approved by Dell's special committee and by the independent members of Dell's board of directors.
Icahn Responds
Under the terms of the previous offer, Dell was proposing to buy the company for $24.4 billion, or $13.65 per share -- a price point that critics of the deal said undervalued Dell. The new deal increases the buyout by some $470 million, including the next quarterly dividend.
Leaving aside the next quarterly dividend, the agreement will increase the value to shareholders by at least $350 million.
A vote for the original offer had been scheduled for Friday, Aug. 2, over protests and legal maneuvering by activist investor Carl Icahn, who is competing with Dell for the company. Icahn and his attorneys put those tactics on the back burner to deal with this latest development -- namely, they filed suit in Delaware Court of Chancery on Thursday to keep the agreement from going forward.
A Roller Coaster Week
It has been a roller-coaster week for Dell and Icahn as they have jockeyed for the better position in their increasingly bitter fight over the company.
The rejection of Michael Dell's original move to get null votes discounted was a blow to Dell, and Icahn didn't hesitate to press his advantage.
"Icahn saw it is an opportunity to expedite the vote that would enable him to play a major role in the firm at a much lower cost," David Cadden, a professor in the Entrepreneurship and Strategy Department in Quinnipiac University's School of Business, told the E-Commerce Times.
A Price to Pay
Dell effectively paid -- to the tune of $350 million to $470 million -- to have the rules changed to favor him, Val Wright, principal at Val Wright Consulting, told the E-Commerce Times.
There were two critical components that had to be addressed for Dell to successfully move forward, Wright explained. Namely, the record date needed to be changed and absentee votes needed to be discounted.
"Michael Dell appears to be taking desperate measures to change the rules to guarantee success," she said. However, these steps may well "add more fuel to Icahn's litigation fire."
More Distraction
Indeed, "with voting day moved to Sept. 12, we can expect another six weeks of public battles between Icahn and Dell," Wright predicted.
"Customers and employees deserve a board and a CEO who are focused on delighting customers and accelerating profits," she continued. "Finalizing this ownership battle cannot come soon enough for Dell's 100,000 employees."

Why I quit playing guitarThis was the first time I saw the band. Little did I know that in just 6 years I would be working with them in Los Angeles on a music video and in1992 be on the road with them shooting One and Wild Horses. life is funny. At the show I saw Edge for the first time and could not figure out how the hell he was making the sounds he was with his guitar. To this day he is the most inovative guitar player in history. From that point on I did not play my guitar very much since I was so frustrated that I could not make mine sound anything like his!!! The show was great. You could tell they would be stars. I have seen that with only a few bands in my life and I have produced hundreds and hundreds of music videos for bands. Bono was the star and he commanded the stage then as he does now. It was the 80's and in minneapolis Price was about to take over the World with his movie which he shot at the same venue First Ave. I wish I had a photo from the show but digital photography was a dream at that point and none of us carried camera's.

Support group contacts
We have had several enquires recently concerning support groups. Our forum itself acts as a large support group but certainly face-to-face contact can be helpful.
One way of establishing personal contact is to ask your treating specialist if you can be put in touch with other patients in the same position who are willing to chat by phone or in person.
Also, you may like to make enquiries of a support group contact here. This forum has been opened to list support group contacts in the one place.
Listed below are members who are currently running groups. A link to their post regarding their group is provided. From there you can email the member for information about the group meetings by clicking on their user name and using the drop-down menu. Should a member wish to start a support group, please contact me via private message about organising a listing.
Adelaide - Rodverta Braefusion
Melbourne - Loulamb13
Bendigo - scoliospine
Post #58.
From our perspective, an offline support group is best served as an environment in which members can share face-to-face their scoliosis journey and give practical advice and tips to others who are facing surgery or brace-wearing. If a group member requires credible medical advice, this should be sought from a medical doctor. We do not endorse medical information from non-medical sources.
This post would not be complete without a word of advice - a responsibility of any forum administrator, and in no way reflective of our members. Most people you meet online are genuine but it is always a good idea to meet in a populated, public place. It is our strong recommendation that adolescents always be accompanied by a parent or guardian when meeting other members offline. Keep personal contact information to a minimum until you get to know the group well. Members accept personal responsibility for the decision to meet offline.

Ran 5.7 miles @ 7:57/mile pace. Paved and dirt roads. Very hilly.
Weather: Upper 40s, very foggy, balmy.
Running early in the morning will definitely take some getting used to. This was my only chance to run today, so I sucked it up and headed out my door at 4:50am to do my 5.7 mile loop.
Fortunately, it was unusually balmy out thanks to a warm front. However, it was also very foggy. My headlamp was of little help at times, serving to blind me when reflecting light off the mist in the thicker patches. This, along with simply not being used to running this early, slowed me down considerably but it's somewhat moot mentioning that since the goal here is to get in more volume.
My stomach wasn't too happy during the run, and I had to stop twice in the woods to take care of things. The second time I heard what sounded like a raccoon make a call a few dozen feet away. Better that than a bear, which is what I actually dreamed last night that I'd encounter.
All in all, it really feels great to get the workout in and I can go about my teaching and grad school business today guilt free. Also, the mileage was perfect, as I felt I could use a light and easy day. That worked out nicely.

"I have been with Brody Brothers for 5.5 years. Ari has been coming to my home for all this time. He does a great job. I hardly ever have an issue. He keeps us pest free which isn't easy living in the woods."
Few insects cause more damage than termites, with billions of dollars spent on repair costs nationwide every year. These insects breed quickly—up to 7,000 eggs a day per colony—and they consume anything containing cellulose, such as wooden floor joists, wall studs, and rafters. The damage can easily be hidden from view for many years, leaving your home or business vulnerable to serious structural and safety problems.
At Brody Brothers Pest Control, we have been offering termite control services in Parkville and surrounding areas since 1984.

Do you suspect your home or business has termite problems? Call Brody Brothers at (410) 653-2121 or contact us online to learn about our termite control service in Parkville!
Termites can be difficult to spot because they travel in mud tubes to maintain a high relative humidity that protects their delicate bodies, and they consume wood from the interior, hidden from view. Therefore, the damage they cause can often go unnoticed, especially if it is concealed beneath flooring or behind drywall. There are a few noticeable signs of a termite infestation, however, including:
If you suspect you have termite problems, you should have a full pest inspection done, as well as a damage assessment.
Termite colonies often begin outdoors, then invade a building as the colony searches for new food sources. If you have old mulch, tree stumps, firewood piles, or other debris around, termites will be more likely to remain near your home or business, eventually spreading to any wooden structures in or around your building. Poor drainage or plumbing leaks can also contribute to termite damage, making the wood soft and easier to consume.

The art of modeling and it's many, many genres
When we think of modeling, most of us probably have a particular image in mind. Perhaps that image involves gawking crowds around a runway with models strutting with vigor in some "new look" for the season. Or maybe the bikini clad woman of Sport Illustrated and other notable publications pop into your head. Whatever the case may be, it may surprise you to find out just how many different types of modeling actually exist.
Here's and extensive but certainly not complete list:
Fashion Modeling
This niche is all about the clothing being worn and usually features tall, slender models.
A few of the many Sub-genres include –
Editorial, Runway and Showroom
Parts Modeling
It's pretty much just what it sounds like. Models in this niche show off specific body parts like hands, feet, legs…
Commercial Modeling
Some sub-genres include –
Product, Lifestyle and Corporate
Fitness Modeling
This genre is all about showcasing fit and athletic models often in sporty clothing.
Alternative Modeling
One of my favorites, it deals with models sporting body modifications like tattoos and piercings along with a punk or goth pics style.
Glamour Modeling
This style focuses on sexual or sensual themes. This can range from mild to quite intense in terms of how graphic the content might become.

Research Resources
The University of North Carolina has made a major effort to make easily available the essential core research technologies required by our students and faculty. These facility managers are a critical resource and they routinely participate in teaching and training students and fellows in the technology, attend appropriate scientific meetings and are often involved in collaborative research with faculty. Click here for UNC Core Research Facilities website.
Listed below are a number of the long-standing successful core facilities that enrich the research environment of our neurobiology scholars:
Neuroscience Center Research Cores directed by Dr. Mark Zylka, were established to enable UNC neuroscientists to generate mouse genetic models for studies of neurological disease mechanisms, perform state of the art imaging and bioinformatics analysis on these models, and finally to develop assays that can be used to advance new treatments for neurological diseases. These facilities have run successfully with support from a NINDS Center grant for over ten years now.
There are four Cores housed on Floors 7 and 8 of the Neuroscience Research Building:
Core 1. Confocal and Multiphoton Imaging Core provides training and support for advanced imaging methodologies for analysis of the disease models and has state of the art Zeiss and Olympus Imaging systems for confocal, time-lapse confocal, and multiphoton analysis of living and fixed tissue preparations.
Core 2. Bioinformatics Core provides access to Bioinformatics, which is rapidly emerging as a critical need for NINDS-funded and other UNC neuroscientists. The Bioinformatics Core provides state of the art pathway analysis, analysis of transcriptional mechanisms (ChIP-seq, RNA-seq), and epigenetic analysis. Bioinformatics will enable neuroscientists to interrogate mechanisms in disease models and determine global consequences of manipulating signaling components.
Animal Models Facility assists investigators in creating both transgenic and "knock-out" mice and is part of the UNC Mutant Mouse Resource, funded by an NIH Regional Resource Grant and closely affiliated with Jackson Laboratories.
Small Animal Imaging Facility, Biomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC) provides MRI/MRS, PET/CT/SPECT, Optical/Bioluminescence, and Ultrasound imaging of mouse models. It houses one of the few Bruker 9.4T horizontal bore scanners in the east coast dedicated for small animal studies. The higher sensitivity resulting in greater spatial and/or temporal resolution from the 9.4T magnet enables high resolution in vivo animal imaging.
High Throughput Sequencing Facility houses deep sequencing technology allows performing applications like de novo genome sequencing, genomes re-sequencing, chip-seq, cDNA sequencing, digital expression and microRNA. HTSF gives UNC researchers an access to this edge-cutting technology by delivering to them about 200 million sequences of 36 nucleotides per week.
Mouse Behavioral Phenotyping Laboratory provides investigators with a wide variety of mouse behavioral tasks to analyze targeted gene mutations relevant to basic research and models of human diseases, inbred strains, pharmacological treatments, gene therapies, etc.
Vector Core was created to ensure that investigators would have promising gene vectors available in the quality and quantities needed for preclinical studies. Research in the laboratory has centered on the molecular biology of adeno-associated virus (AAV) in order to exploit the unique features of this virus to develop an efficient viral vector system for use in human gene therapy.
UNC RNAi Screening Facility manages a human genomic siRNA library from Dharmacon. The library is composed of ~84,500 siRNAs targeting 21,125 genes (Ref Seq database v5.0-8.0) and this facility provides the technology for the UNC scientific community to perform cell based screens to define the contribution of each gene in the human genome to specific phenotypes.
Oligonucleotide Synthesis Core Facility (Core Facility No Longer Exists) produces and purifies oligonucleotides for use in genetic research experiments, such as PCR, DNA sequencing, primer extension, and as hybridization probes.
Flow Cytometry Facility exists to provide biomedical investigators with all aspects of research flow cytometry — analytical and high speed sorting instrumentation, data analysis, and expertise.
Biomolecular X-ray Crystallography Facility provides resources and training to UNC macromolecular crystallographers for single crystal data collection and processing.
Macromolecular Interactions Facility provides instrumentation and resources for biophysical characterization of interactions of biological macromolecules. The capabilities include measurement of affinity, stoichiometry, kinetics and thermodynamics of interactions among proteins, DNA and their cognate ligands.
Mouse Histopathology Facility provides histopathology analysis—high-quality processing of fixed tissues into hematoxylin and eosin-stained paraffin slides as well as preparation of frozen tissue sections — for investigators studying various mouse mutants and genetic models.
Mammalian Genotyping Core assists researchers in elucidating genetic components of complex diseases. Two genotyping platforms offer flexibility to type a wide range of SNPs, from 1 to 1,000 at a time. The two platforms are the ABI TaqMan SNP genotyping for single-plex SNP genotyping and the Illumina BeadArray for multi-plex SNP genotyping.
Michael Hooker Proteomics & Mass Spectrometry Facility provides UNC with a state-of-the-art facility to identify proteins and to assist in the characterization of protein modification and differential expression. The core serves the greater university community by providing a resource for training, education, and consultation in modern proteomic techniques.
Michael Hooker Microscopy Facility provides users access to advanced light microscopy, digital image acquisition and image processing capabilities. Users receive thorough instruction on how to setup and use the required instrumentation with emphasis targeted to the specific requirements of their experiment.
Zebrafish Facility provides resources for UNC investigators to use zebrafish as a model organism. Services offered include stock maintenance, quarantine facility, embryo production, microinjections (morpholino and mis-expression), transgenesis and phenotypic evaluation.

MIC Gadget has an iPad adapter that many professional (and semi-professional!) photographers might be interested in: a CF card reader that seems to work really well. They tested it on the iPad 2 and transferred three 21 megapixel photos in 4 seconds.
Interestingly, MIC Gadget says that since the iPad does not support 5D Mark II footages, they couldn't watch the videos they shot on the iPad. A bummer. The adapter is $30. [MIC Gadget via Engadget]
