Day-to-day losses at the country's main greyhound tracks more than doubled last year.
A hike in the cost of running six of the higher profile tracks saw the 12-month losses at these facilities grow to €386,000 after hitting €167,000 in 2010.
The situation was worse when the effects of exceptional items, writedowns, and land sales were factored in.
This saw a €928,000 collapse from a combined €225,000 profit in 2010 to a €703,000 loss in 2011.
The losses did not include the performance of the tote at each track.
All of the tracks are owned by the Irish Greyhound Board and the group has been struggling with separate financial problems arising from a €23m debt burden.
Repayments on the principal of this loan have yet to begin and will eventually add up to €5m to the costs of running the industry.
The headline operating results relate to six subsidiary tracks that filed 2011 accounts last week: Shelbourne Park, Cork, Harold's Cross, Limerick, Waterford, and Galway.
These tracks are all subsidiaries of the IGB, which was recently rewarded with a Government decision not to cut its €11m annual allocation under the Horse and Greyhound Fund.
Of those, only Shelbourne Park and Cork recorded profits and, from the loss-making stadia, Harold's Cross was the only facility to improve its operating performance.
Limerick suffered the biggest hit as it had to write off the value of development land it bought, but then abandoned, in Meelick and the reduced price it received for its former track at the Market's Field.
In Meelick the company wrote off €368,234 from the value of the site which it invested €1.3m in, but later refused an offer which would have resulted in a €200,000 profit.
The Limerick track's operating loss, of €164,000, was below expectations for what the new facility was supposed to deliver in the first full year of operation.
According to the profit projections which underpinned the decision to build the stadium the track, not including the tote, it was suppose to return a €220,000 profit.
The subsidiary accounts also revealed the correction of an accountancy error in 2010 which saw sales at its Harold's Cross track show up in the accounts for the Galway stadium. This had to be corrected and the money returned to Harold's Cross.
Overall, the deficit in the group's pension scheme grew by €689,000 to €3.78m.

Quick Answer: See the steps below to complete routing between the applications.
Routing for Pro Tools in Mac OS XFollow the steps described in this video to set up the routing between Liquid Notes and Pro Tools:
Alternatively, we have also printed those steps for you here:
- Set up an IAC-Bus.
Directly from within Pro Tools go to: Set Up → MIDI → MIDI Studio. This opens the Mac utility Audio MIDI Setup.
Select Window → Show MIDI window.
Double-click on IAC driver. For the routing to Pro Tools at least one bus should be created. If your project in Liquid Notes exceeds 16 channels, set up additional IAC busses.
Activate Device is online.
- Set up as many Instrument Tracks in Pro Tools as required.
- Instantiate the desired virtual instrument for each track in the corresponding insert slot.
- Use the MIDI input selector of each instrument track to choose the IAC bus and the corresponding channel. Unless you have renamed the IAC bus while setting it up, it will be listed as IAC Driver, IAC Bus 1, Channel 1, 2, 3…….
- Use the MIDI output selector to make sure that the virtual instrument instantiated on the channel is listed. If not, select it from the drop-down list.

Procedures for extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion
The action of giving and receiving Holy Communion in both forms, bread and wine, is central to full participation of all the faithful in the celebration of the Eucharist.
The manner in which we dress, the way in which we move, our attitude of reverence should convey the great meaning of the gift of Christ to His people.
On those occasions we have visiting members of the clergy (bishop, priest or deacon) present at any Mass, you are asked to allow the clergy the opportunity to serve as Eucharistic ministers, since they are the ordinary ministers of Communion.
number of ministers of Holy Communion:
at the Saturday 5:30 & Sunday 10 Mass
the celebrant distributes the Hosts
one minister distributes the Hosts
two ministers distribute the Precious Blood
On occasions such as Easter and Christmas, due to a larger than normal congregation, we may add two extra ministers of the cup to accommodate the larger congregation.
When to approach the altar: As you finish the Sign of Peace, the extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion walk immediately to behind the pulpit. This will allow time for the sufficient number of ministers needed. Stand behind the pulpit in a line facing the side of the altar. Once the altar servers have moved, please proceed to the first step of the altar platform to receive Holy Communion.
When receiving Holy Communion: You are asked to make a reverence of a bow before you receive Holy Communion, under both forms.
The celebrant will distribute the Hosts to all the ministers first and then distribute the chalices. Those with a chalice will then offer the Precious Blood to the music director and other ministers if they so choose. All Communion ministers will then take their places at the appropriate Communion station.
The celebrant will hand the paten to the Host minister and then both will go to a Communion station. There will not be one station exclusively for the celebrant.
Distributing Communion: The proper and only permissible form for distributing is by saying, "The Body of Christ" & "The Blood of Christ." No other words or names should be added; and the formula should not be edited in any way.
Please make every effort to be aware of parishioners who, due to infirmity, may need Communion brought to them in their pew. Please offer the chalice as well.
After Communion: The celebrant will take the paten from the Host minister as they stand in front of the altar. If any Precious Blood remains the minister, if able, will consume the remainder at the front of the altar and then place the chalice on the credence table. The celebrant will purify the vessels at the credence table.
F.Y.I. Since we will be making an effort to follow the guidelines of the Church with regard to receiving Communion from bread that has been consecrated at the Mass, we may not often use the reserved Eucharist.
Since the tabernacle is in the sanctuary, the celebrant and other ministers genuflect as they approach the altar and when they depart from it, but not during the celebration of Mass itself.
If the Eucharistic bread or some particle falls, it should be picked up reverently by the minister. The consecrated bread may be consumed or placed in the ablution cup on the credence table.
If the consecrated wine is spilled from the chalice the area should be washed after Mass and the water poured into the sacrarium.
***If you notice there are not enough ministers present at Mass, please help out by coming forward.
THANK YOU for your attention and your efforts in helping our parish's worship to give glory to God.

I feel that Lucid Dreaming allows me to peek into the universe to some extent. For instance, in one of my dreams, I saw a male who appeared like a real man, but
This dream is very confusing. Fair enough! There are times when I think that I saw a jinn or some altered reality of my creative mind. Other times, I think that I saw Fu Wengui, the Chinese kid who was born with 3 additional vertebrae in his neck and Congenital Scoliosis—I just found this video today and I had no idea about Fu until today. Or did I see both human and jinn and then craftily merged them into one? As of today, I am not so sure in terms of what I witnessed the night I saw this dream character, the Shapeshifter. The vision was so freakish that I still think several times before deciding to shiver and accepting my fear.
In another recent historic dream, I was sitting next to Che Guvra, the Argentine Marxist revolutionary, writer, and guerrilla leader. His body was alive and vibrating with life. He seemed full of life and very delighted when he saw me. He was looking at me and was about to address me when I felt scared and switched the dream scene—I get dreams of political figures and writers because of my ENFP personality.
Clearly, I can bring my favourite friends and individuals to my dream world. In one dream, I saw my best Christian friend and her husband playing Piano right next to my bed. This is a historic dream because it matches how another legendary figure, Richard D James / Aphex Twin, used to hear music during sleep. In another dream, I briefly saw my best Muslim friend in his wife's arms. I haven't met both of my close buddies for some years now because I live in a different city. But, during the night, I can connect with them again. My empathy allows me to play this move very easily.
Think about it! Islam clearly states that with every human, a Qareen is born. Qareens are the jinns or angels that are born with the human except that they interfere from a different dimension. My dreams indicate that something else has always been present besides my mind and soul. During lucid dreams, the brainwaves are designed to alter and thus reality becomes clear. For instance, I have solved a crime case on my own through lucid dreams. During sleep, the human brainwaves alter and our souls enter a different dimension. This is why I could see the Bagarbilla, the small gnome-like dream creature who used to bug me while I was a child. Bagarbilla never appeared after 2 or 3 encounters. Perhaps, it stopped haunting the house? Was it really there or did I scare something away? My first book is going to offer detailed descriptions of some of my lucid dreams. Thus, you will have a glimpse of the universe.

AG won't get shot to challenge overturning of Jeffs conviction
by Lindsay Whitehurst
The Utah Supreme Court has denied an Attorney General's Office petition for a rehearing in polygamous sect leader Warren Jeffs' accomplice to rape case, according to court documents.
Jeffs, 55, was convicted in 2007 of the charges, which relate to a marriage he conducted between a 14-year-old girl and her 19-year-old cousin. The Supreme Court overturned his conviction in July, citing improper jury instruction.
Prosecutors had sought the rehearing for further explanation on correct jury instructions, said Paul Murphy, spokesman for the Utah Attorney General's Office.
Said Washington County Attorney Brock Belnap, who filed the initial charges: "We believed that we had some good points in our petition for a rehearing, but our expectations were low because the Supreme Court rarely – if ever – grants such petitions."
Prosecutors have not decided whether to re-try Jeffs on the accomplice to rape charges, he said.
Jeffs was extradited to Texas about three weeks ago to face sexual assault and bigamy charges there.

The Financier by Theodore Dreiser
As real as life itself, and sometimes just as dull
As the title suggests, Theodore Dreiser's 1912 novel The Financier is a story of stocks and bonds, banking, and business, but it's also a very human tale of dreams, desires, and defeats. In 1837, Frank Cowperwood is born the son of a bank clerk in Philadelphia. At a young age, he demonstrates notable intelligence, initiative, and a precocious talent for finance. Through perspicacity and hard work, he gradually builds a career from small-time deals to ever greater heights of financial influence and commercial reputation. Cowperwood's opportunistic streak gets the better of him, however, and he engages in dealings that are less than ethical. This becomes trouble when the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 plays havoc with the stock market. Cowperwood has spread himself too thin, and when creditors start calling in their loans, he must scramble to scrape up any dollar he can in order to save his business and his reputation.
As is typical of Dreiser, Cowperwood's story is told in a naturalistic style that is about as real as realism gets. Dreiser's detailed, matter-of-fact prose vividly immerses the reader in the time, place, and social environment of the narrative. When the novel focuses on the human drama surrounding the money matters, it can be very emotionally involving. Even though the protagonist is a somewhat despicable human being whose self-centeredness clouds his judgment of right and wrong, the reader can't help but root for Cowperwood because Dreiser has drawn him as a complex human being with identifiable faults. At times, Dreiser delves deeper into the financial machinations than I cared to go, and he assumes a fair amount of stock-market knowledge on the part of the reader. If you like novels about hypothecated shares and sinking funds, this is the book for you. Today's financial world is difficult enough to understand, much less the system that was in place before and immediately after the Civil War. The deals and manipulations taking place in The Financier are more difficult to decipher than similar goings-on in other financially themed naturalist novels like Frank Norris's The Pit or Emile Zola's Money.
Any confusion, however, is not due to lack of exposition. The main problem with The Financier is that it is too long-winded and repetitive, particularly in its flabby mid-section. The same conversations seem to take place over and over again. Is it really necessary to include the complete text of the closing arguments of a court case, after the several preceding chapters have already outlined both sides of the argument? Some summarizing would have been appreciated. Dreiser is so thorough in his description, his narrative so protracted, that most of the time I felt like I was experiencing the action of the novel in real time. That's fine when interesting things are happening, but not when you're sitting through another meeting in which Cowperwood repeats what he told someone else the day before. While the story as a whole is too drawn-out, the ending feels rushed and too convenient. Then Dreiser caps the work off with two brief epilogues; one unnecessary, the other vague.
The Financier is the first novel in Dreiser's Trilogy of Desire, followed by The Titan and The Stoic. Honestly, The Financier might have been a better book if it were a stand-alone novel. Perhaps then the conclusion would have been more satisfying. Nevertheless, despite my reservations about this novel, I will probably follow the trilogy through to its end. The Financier may be flawed, but Dreiser is an exceptional author whose work is essential to the history of American literary realism. Even his less successful books are worth reading.

When the seeking is intense, it will remove the unwanted juice from your ego.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) July 24, 2012
His Holiness Paramahamsa addressed his world wide followers in an early morning discourse on July 23rd 2012 from the sacred town of Tiruvannamalai which is considered as a spiritual nerve center of South India with 2000 years of recorded history of unbroken lineage of enlightened Masters.
Speaking on verse 18 from Bhagavad Gita Chapter 5, Paramahamsa Nithyananda said, "The Enlightened beings regard the Brahmana (the learned one), who is filled with spiritual knowledge a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog eater with impartiality. Bhagwan breaks one of the greatest myths. One of the collective understandings that destroys the world and that which is destroyed by the world is partiality.
"It is always two ways, anything you destroy, destroys you and vice versa. So, the moment you start handling things with partiality, things also handle you with partiality. When you judge be ready to be judged. Handling things with right and wrong, good and bad is a huge collective myth. Partiality is one of the powerful maya (delusion in illusion).
"The sacred secret is partiality is myth in anything. The quality which you sometimes think as your strength becomes weakness in some other situation. The quality which you think as sweet at one point becomes sour in some other point. Other than concept of partiality, nothing else brings you so much of suffering to you.
"For example, the lawyer who uses his black coat and arguments in the court room, cannot use the same coat and arguments in the home with his family. Instruments and equipments and concepts used as tools for social living cannot be considered as a quality of your True self. Same way the partiality is a tool useful to handle life in few situations, but in no way, partiality is absolute reality.
"Bhagwan is very clear, partiality in existence is not absolute reality. So catch this one truth and meditate on this one simple truth. The greatest quality of super consciousness is Satchitananda. Satchitananda means consciousness, awareness that one exists and celebrating one's own existence."
On a side note, in spite of the smear campaign which a section of Indian media has been attempting on His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda, participants from 18 countries successfully completed the 21 Day Inner Awakening Spiritual Retreat, which included yoga, meditation, talks, interactive sessions and spiritual leisure activities. A number of new kriyas (dynamic techniques) for physical and mental problems, traditional heavy yoga, ayurvedic holistic cleansing methods and personal guidance from experts in natural medicine were also offered as part of this retreat. They actively participated in several eNPrograms to achieve high success in attracting health, wealth, relationships, dynamic leadership. They were exposed to the true authentic Vedic rites and practices from directly ordained Sanyasis adept in Vedas and Vedic sciences which are much older than the human and Indian civilization itself.
eN-Genius, a natural leadership program for children between 4-14 years, was also conducted on the same premises. The program includes brain yoga, creative art, memory camp, Vedic chanting and outdoor activities, among others.

About His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda
Paramahamsa Nithyananda is a global leader in the science of Enlightenment & Inner Awakening. In the past ten years attempts have been made to map Nithyananda's brain, his energy levels, his mitochondria, his DNA. The scientific fraternity is continuously stunned by the results of what they can evaluate.
In a recent study, blood samples from a group of Inner Awakening participants aged above 50 years were subjected to a well-known protocol called MTT Assay for assessment of cellular energy levels. 100% of participants of this particular study recorded a drastic increase in energy levels, averaging 1300%. Such an increase is clearly impossible through any other known means such as exercise, yoga or fitness training, which can affect a maximum of 40% increase in cellular energy.
Clear, dynamic and modern in approach, Paramahamsa Nithyananda's teachings have already transformed 15 million followers in 150 countries with the fastest growing spiritual community around the youngest incarnation. He is the most watched spiritual Guru on the internet.
His Holiness Paramahamsa Nithyananda was recently appointed as the successor and 293rd pontiff of the world's oldest most ancient and richest Hindu organization, Madurai Aadheenam. Earlier this year he was recognized as one of the world's top 100 most spiritually influential personalities of 2012 by the reputed esoteric magazine 'Mind Body Spirit' from Watkins.

Title: Siege #1
Writer: Brian Bendis
Penciler: Olivier Coipel
Inker: Mark Morales
Publisher: Marvel
Price: $3.99
I am going to begin this review with a positive before it degenerates into what most of you have come to expect from me reviewing a Bendis book. The one thing I really liked about the this first issue (along with Coipel's art, so I guess that's two things I liked) is that there is no decompression storytelling going on here. For a Bendis comic, the story progresses very, very briskly and is a nice change of pace from the over saturation of unnecessary dialog we are usually treated to (this is where the positivity stops in the review by the way)…but there is a bit of a problem with this. Now, I know, I KNOW, some of you are going to say "Man, you are going to hate on Bendis no matter what he does, right?" to which I will respond with "That's not true. Just hear me out on this." So, ya, just hear me out on this.
The first six pages of the book are the catalyst for "The Siege." That's kind of important, right? Really quickly, this is what happens: Volstagg is adventuring in Chicago. Volstagg stops an armored car heist while on the expressway…I think. Volstagg gets attacked by some of the Hood's goons who shoot energy blasts and pink lighting at him. Volstagg somehow gets blown into (from out on the expressway mind you) the exact center of Soldier's Field's, um…field in the middle of a football game. The Hood's goons then (again) shoot energy blasts and pink lightning at Volstagg and when Big Daddy V blocks said energy and pink lightning it just so happens to cause a major explosion destroying all of Soldier's Field and almost everyone in it. And because of this incident Norman Osborn can now invade Asgard because it somehow shows the Asgardians to be a threat to the American people.
Within the first six pages of the comic I already have a problem with it. Like New Avengers #60, everything just sorta happens the way it happens with no real explanation because that is exactly what the writer NEEDS to happen in order to further the story. Why is Volstagg blamed for the explosion? Didn't anybody see that he was attacked by a team of super villains? I am sure that the football game was being televised, right (but it was a Bear's game so nobody was watching anyway…har har)? Wouldn't the cameras show Volstagg was, in fact, defending himself against the villains who actually caused the explosion? (And yes, I am very aware that this is a comic but even I can't suspend my disbelief THAT much.) This whole first scene just strikes my as either hurried or lazy writing, take your pick. For fuck's sake, we already had to go through this sort of storytelling in House of M, Civil War and Secret Invasion. I guess you could say at least Marvel's storytelling has pretty much been consistent over the last 7 years. Hooray?
I will now in no creative way whatsoever try to list as quickly as possible the my other thoughts on this book:
* I don't know why Osborn thinks that this incident is enough for the U.S. to declare war on Asgard. He's supposed to be smarter than that, right? He really thinks that he doesn't need to confer with the President before he attacks? I know that he is crazy but he's not stupid. There is a scene where Victoria Hand tells Osborn he can't just do as he pleases but it does nothing to deter him. Why is he so adamant about invading Asgard? I have read all the comics I felt I needed to in order to understand why he is doing this and all I can remember is: because he wants Loki to run Asgard. Is that right or am I forgetting something? Was it because of the whole Green Goblin mask telling him to do it? Maybe that was Loki actually talking and not Osborn's fractured psyche? Just thinking out loud here trying to make sense of this all so thanks for bearing with me.
* There was a decent one page scene with Ares and Osborn. Ares refuses to help invade Asgard. Well, that is until Osborn tells him that Loki has taken over as ruler of Asgard, which is not true. Ares then tells Osborn that if he is being lied to he will cut off Osborn's head. Here's hoping that this will in fact happen.
* While briefing the Dark Avengers on the invasion they all pretty much tell Osborn he's fucking crazy and they want no part of it. Now, if Bullseye is scared shitless by this idea and calling you crazy wouldn't that set off any alarms? Again, I don't buy Osborn not thinking this situation through.
* The "speech" that Ares gives to all of Osborn's troops before the invasion is pretty uninspired. It's like every other clichéd speech ever given right before characters march to their perceived doom. Plus there were a ton of villains in that crowd of troops who are helping Osborn. Why the hell would they care what Ares was saying. I kept picturing them all laughing and saying "Fuck this guy" behind Ares' back.
* The President of the United States FINALLY figures out that maybe putting Osborn in charge of SHIELD wasn't the best idea. Ya, didn't see that coming.
* Man, Coipel's art is fucking great in this issue. That panel with Donald Blake jumping with the fighter jets above him was pretty cool I'll have to admit. Not to mention seeing Thor show up on the next page. And yes, I am being serious for once.
* So, Thor pretty much takes care of the Sentry only to be put down by the Hood's flunkies? Who the hell are these guys? Did I miss something somewhere where somebody explained who this team is and why they are so powerful? Or was this another one of these "let's just have this happen to move the story forward" things?
That finishes off the "My Thoughts" portion of this review. I will now be going into familiar territory where I, yet again, have a big problem with Marvels publishing practices. This review has gone on for a while so if you'd like to go grab a snack or a drink, I can wait.
…This is what I like to call "Padding the Review". It's a little trick I picked up from a certain Marvel writer.
You back? Ok, let's continue. We're almost at the end.
This book was $3.99 and ran 40 pages and here is the breakdown: 1 "Story Thus Far" page, 23 pages of art, 3 page Cup O' Joe column, 5 page "Ares War Plan Transcript", 1 page Siege checklist, 6 page Hulk #19 preview and 1 page ad. Only having 1 ad in the entire comic was nice but you know what wasn't so nice?
1. 3 page Cup O' Joe column
All this was was 3 pages of Joey Q. trying to convince people that The Siege is the endgame for a story 7 years in the making. And coincidentally enough each major story that has been told in those 7 years has it's own trade paperback. This basically boils down to 3 pages of advertisements for Marvel trades. Not needed.
2. 5 page "Ares War Plan Transcript"
These are 5 pages of text dialog for a Dark Avengers meeting that took place somewhere in this issue. That's right, just dialog (with some reprinted panels from the Thor comic). I guess one could argue that it adds somewhat to the story but here is the kicker, of the 5 pages 1 page was printed twice. Since one of the pages got printed twice that means that one page of dialog is missing completely. Marvel tries justifying a $3.99 cover price by giving you unwanted extra material and then goes and fucks that up so you don't even get the whole story that was intended. But wait, it gets better: Marvel has made the corrected version of the "Ares War Plan Transcript" available for FREE on there website (thanks to CCW reader ohsnap! for bringing this to my attention). Why the fuck didn't they just do that in the first place and make this a $2.99 book like it should have been? This pretty much goes to show that if Marvel wanted to treat there fans fairly they would stop putting this needless back matter into their books (while charging extra money for them) and just make it available for free on their website. Overall this was not needed either.
3. 6 page Hulk #19 preview
Do I really need to explain why this was completely unnecessary? By the way, the same 6 page preview was in Siege: Embedded #1 as well which was a decent read. Embedded #1, not the Hulk preview. Just clarifying.
I guess overall this comic wasn't entirely a train wreck but at the same time I certainly had some major issues with it. Thankfully this will just be a 4 issue mini instead of the normal 7 or 8 and hopefully the Marvel U can become event free shortly after it's conclusion. Well, that is unless Marvel feels the need to tack on an extra issue or two because the fans or Marvel shareholders "demand" it.

Can you store more than raw data in a PDS such as attachments, videos, music, pictures; files such as documents, spreadsheets, presentations?
A Personal Data Store is about data, not files. We currently do not allow general file storage within the Personal Data Store. Files such as word processing documents, spreadsheets, presentations in a variety of formats and PDFs, programme files, pictures, music and video already have a wealth of storage options freely available. Our focus is about storing the verified data about individuals' lives which could include information about files stored elsewhere and controlling the access to them. There are some specific areas where we have enabled images and documents to be stored such as a profile picture, digitally signed documents relating to a contract, but in general we focus on verified data from which documents can be generated.
Storing files is not a technical challenge for Mydex CIC, and we have focused our energy on verified data collection, storage and distribution. Integrating into existing file storage services using their APIs is a more effective route as it allows us to drive control over access and capture the meta data about files easily without requiring an individual to move out of traditional social sharing solutions for general files. We are not focused on replicating music, video streaming services or social networks and picture hosting services.

Stephen Dorff in Rites of Passage
I'm not exactly sure what Stephen Dorff eats or does to keep his body EXACTLY the same in the span of 10 years since "Cold Creek Manor". These are from 2011 straight-to-DVD thriller "Rites of Passage" (UK) with a gratuitous display of his well maintained body along with other younger beefcakes including Travis Van Winkle, Wes Bentley and Guy Burnet. With all his attitude and that orgasmic sideway smile, I think we all can forgive him for being consistent in not letting his chest hair be great.

Google Apps domain admins have access to a new tool – Gmail log search – that increases visibility into their email traffic. This feature in the Apps control panel allows domain admins to search through the Gmail delivery logs to investigate email delivery and traffic questions. Many domain admins have requested a self-service tool like this, and Gmail log search will make it easier to answer questions like: What happened to an inbound or outbound message? Was a message sent to my domain and marked as spam? Which users sent or received a specific message?
The information that is available in the log search feature includes:
This Gmail log search feature was built using Google BigQuery, a Google Cloud Platform product that allows developers to store and query large amounts of data. We chose BigQuery because it can analyze multi-terabyte data sets with billions of headers to deliver precise results in just a few seconds. Gmail log search will help domain admins have the same type of visibility into the operations of Google Apps that they are used to from the legacy, on-premise email systems.
Gmail log search will be available starting today to Google Apps for Business, Education and Government customers, and will roll out to all domains over the next few weeks. Learn more about the feature in the Google Apps Help Center.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is a lot of great research on floating while pregnant, and all suggests it is great for both you and the baby, especially during the later stages of pregnancy when even simple things like sleeping can cause muscle strain.
Of course you should seek your own medical advice. Most commonly it is recommended you stay away from hot baths. This is skin temp and therefore should be safe. Floating relieves pressure by creating a buoyant environment where you can finally escape many of the discomforts of pregnancy. A float session makes a great baby shower gift! However, in the first trimester, as with most activities, we do recommend checking with your doctor first.
We invested in top of the line float tanks specifically for their incredible purification systems.
The water is treated with UV light through a 2" diameter tube, blasted with activated oxygen (ozone) that treats the water (and air in the tank) as well as being run through a 1 micron filter (the average diameter of a human hair is 15 microns!)
The tank runs through this system 3-5 times after every session, so that means, up to 30 times every day. On top of that, the alkalinity of the water itself (7.3-7.8 pH) is very clean and pure with over 1200 pounds of USP grade Epsom salts in our 200 gallon tanks and over 2100 pounds in our 400 gallon tanks.
The inside of the tanks are also wiped down regularly with tea tree oil and the water is also treated with 1-2 ounces of H2O2 for additional clarity and purification.
No problem. At the end the session the music and light will come on and wake you peacefully. And if you are a really deep sleep the water will start circulating 2 mins after the end of the session. So you can focus of letting go. It may be what your body needs! Don't just think of your session as the time here. It is how you feel after. How you sleep. How you feel the morning after.
We recommend avoiding caffeinated beverages for several hours beforehand to reduce the chances of having the jitters. Avoid shaving or waxing at least 8-12 hours if you have sensitive skin (possible, but short-lived irritation to your skin can happen). Eating a light meal about 90 minutes ahead of time stops your stomach sounds that could be distracting. Other than that there is no specific preparation needed.
Buy a gift certificate for them!
No. Even if you fall completely asleep (which is common) you will continue to float on top of the water. It is actually difficult to roll over due to the high density of healing Salts which makes the water so buoyant that is it is impossible for you to sink or accidentally turn over. The sensation of effortlessly floating is difficult to describe until you experience it! Think about a cork bobbing in the ocean.
Not in the same tank, but during the same time period if you have booked in advance.
Yes. Follow the same protocol you would for a swimming pool. Some women do experience some discomfort in their feminine areas before or during this time.
If it's serious — floatation might not be for you. However the pod is the size of a small car. So if you OK getting in and out of a car, you will be ok. Everything is under your control. You can get in and out as you wish. If you are brave enough to turn off the light – it becomes an infinite space.
Many people who initially express a fear of small spaces feel much better once they know they control the entire process. Their fears subside and the vast majority will go on to close the door and turn off the light! The tank is such an excellent place to go 'through' claustrophobia that is if you want to get rid of yours, it is probably the best place to do it. Use the tank in the way most comfortable for you. And the first comment people say after exiting the tank is "Wow, it's was easier than I expected!"
a) if you want to stop you can do so at anytime!
b) you control the lighting and music
c) you open and close the door easy as you wish
d) you CAN float with the door open
e) you are always in control of the environment
People who are used to meditating are going to love floating. You will find you adapt to it within one to two floats. Those unaccustomed to spending time with their own thoughts and inner reflection will normally take three to five floats to feel completely relaxed and at ease.
Don't worry, it washes right out with normal wash.
Wash it using hot water first, then shampoo and condition. If you are one of the rare cases where this doesn't do the job, a quick rinse with White Vinegar will break the salt down before a standard shampoo and condition.
Once you're inside the tanks, the experience is practically identical each tank. The main difference is the area in the tank (square feet). The float rooms have lights that turn on and off on the inside of the tanks themselves.
There aren't any latches on the tank doors and you can get out anytime.
While you are not required to stay in the full time, 60-minutes usually goes by faster than you would expect.
Rumor is a guy in Portland goes for a 12 hour float each month. The inventor of the float went for longer even.
Nope, that is one of the interesting things about the epsom salt in the water. When you get out, you will find your hands are just like normal, and, most likely a lot softer.
A brilliant man named John C. Lily, who was an American physician, neuroscientist, psychoanalyst, psychonaut, philosopher, writer and inventor.
The first float tank was developed in 1954, which actually involved full submersion in water and a breathing device that completely covered your face.
The first commercial tanks that were lay down style were invented in the early 70's.
We measure and maintain the pH, alkalinity, specific gravity, and temperature of the tanks.
The water in the float tank is about 30% epsom salt, which is a difficult environment for a lot of bacteria to live in (hence the name "Dead Sea").

An extensive selection of free magazines and other publications
by Hari Nayak and Vikas Khanna
Both as a professional chef, and as a avid home cook, I must admit, when I first flipped through the pages of this new book, I was a bit skeptical: I'm not a huge fan of classical Indian cuisine; never had much luck recreating many classical dishes due to the inavailability of, or excessively high priced ingredients (ever try to find Cardamom seeds or Kaffir Lime leaves in your local grocery store without having to spend an arm to get them, or having to track down an Asian Market?!); and most of all, much of the classical Indian dishes I've eaten in my career have often been over-poweringly spiced, or just not to my tastes.
However, having said all that, this book and it's recipes have begun to change my mind. As a previous review had stated, yes, this book does not contain puritanic classical Indian recipes. But that's not what this book is about! As the title states, it's focus is on *MODERN* Indian cooking. Yes, this does mean that there is a lot of fusion cooking in this book. It also means that the recipes themselves are simpler, easier to produce, utilizing less exoctic ingridients, less prep time and less cooking time! Some would say that this could be a terrible thing, as it takes away from the millenia of refinement that Indian Cuisine has gone through. but in my earnest opinion, it's for the betterment of the cuisine, as it makes it far more accessible to the average *MODERN* American home cook!
The recipes run the gamut here, from simple and quick to the flavorfully complex and not so quick. Each recipe is accompanied with BEAUTIFUL photographs; clear and implicit instructions; recipes that do not require you to run to an Asian Grocery store to find some obscure ingreident; and best of all, they're EASY to make! It took me 20 minutes of prep time, an hour to marinate the shrimp, and 10 minutes at the most to cook the Crispy Pan Fried Shrimp and Tamarind Glaze. And best of all, my fiance adored them!
Hari and Vikas, I tip my toque to the two of you! Congratulations on your first book, and best of luck!
by Scott Raisch, Toms River, NJ (Amazon.com)
I just got this book!
Simply, it's a beautiful book. Pictures are simply stunning! Finally i have found a cook book where the same old masala recipes are gone and there is something fresh & new recipe ideas. I like the way the author has given Indian food a new global Perspective. I own a lot of Indian cook books from Julie Sahni, Madhur Jaffrey and others and quite frankly I was getting a little tired of the traditional recipes.
Also I like a recipe book with a lot of pictures & this book did not disappoint me. My personal favorite recipe is the chipotle pork tikka!! I highly recommend this book to all!

Border Patrol finds 7 people in tractor-trailer with watermelons
By Tony Perry
March 28, 2013, 7:01 p.m.
SAN DIEGO -- Seven people suspected of being illegal immigrants from Mexico were discovered in the Imperial Valley inside a chilled tractor-trailer that was carrying watermelons, the U.S. Border Patrol said.
The vehicle was stopped for inspection at 4 a.m. Thursday at the checkpoint on Highway 86 between Salton City and Westmorland, on the edge of the Salton Sea. A Border Patrol dog alerted agents to possible illegal immigrants, the Border Patrol said.
A woman and six men, ages 20 to 52, were found in the trailer, which was refrigerated to 48 degrees. The 50-year-old driver was arrested on suspicion of smuggling, and the seven were taken into custody for deportation.

Meaning of Gratitude
The meaning of gratitude may vary depending on what is dear to you. There are people in this world who are grateful for just one meal. Others are grateful for a kind act or the affection of a loved one. A visit from a good friend may bring you delight for which you are grateful. A quiet moment of peace may be something you are grateful for if you have long, busy days. While the reason behind gratitude varies from person to person, the definition of gratitude is essentially the same: to be aware of the good things in your life, to appreciate them, and to be thankful for them.
Recognizing, appreciating, and expressing gratitude for pleasant occurrences can help you feel authentic happiness and contentment.Gratitude helps us focus on the good things in life rather than the bad. Studies have found that there are many benefits to the simple act of writing down things we are grateful for such as better sleep, fewer symptoms of illness, and more happiness among adults and kids. In order to help and inspire people to make gratitude a part of their day, I launched the great collection of The Happy Birthday Book and The Happy Rosy Day Book – a unique collection of gratitude journals designed to be a delightful reminder to enjoy life, practice gratitude, and record positive thoughts to document your happiness in your own storybook.
Journaling about happy things will make you more aware of the good things in your life. This awareness can have a positive impact since it is often easy to forget amid the stress and challenges we face. Start a gratitude journal to record the good things that happen so that you can learn to see and embrace the beautiful things in your life. Appreciating the wonderful experiences and moments that warm your heart can nurture positive thinking. With The Happy Rosy Day Book keepsake gratitude journals, "you will smile whenever you turn the pages and realize that you are living another year of life beautifully."
How to Keep a Gratitude Journal
People from all walks of life keep a gratitude journal, from the young to the wise, from celebrities to the rest of us stars sparkling in our own little worlds. Today, there are myriad forms of gratitude journals, including those that are handwritten and even digital versions. I adore and recommend the classic, the traditional paperback gratitude journal whose pages can be filled, felt, read, and treasured.
There are two main ways to keep a gratitude journal. The first method involves keeping a daily journal in which you write a simple gratitude list every morning or night. I believe there are many things to be grateful for every day. However, some people find it stressful to maintain daily gratitude lists and have difficulty coming up with five things for which they are grateful each day. It is not beneficial to stress over gratitude exercises, because practicing gratitude is meant to have a positive impact. In fact, researchers suggest that writing things you are grateful for daily starts to diminish your view of how much happiness these things bring you. For daily gratitude, I prefer to keep, a simple, daily gratitude checklist.
Rather, it is better to keep a weekly journal that you write in once or twice a week. Write down five things you are grateful for during the week. It can be something as simple as "I am grateful for waking up another day to enjoy the wonders of this world" to something more intricate like "I am grateful for the quality time I spent with my family watching the funny, animated movie Stork. I am grateful for the mint-chocolate ice-cream cake we indulged in – yum! I am grateful for the feeling of comfort and bliss I experienced during this delightful evening."
Please allow me to share with you my 7 tips for keeping a gratitude journal.
1. Plan to be more grateful.
Research suggests that making the conscious decision to become happier and more grateful increases the effectiveness of journaling. Set a goal to be happier in life by being more grateful for your blessings and joys.
2. Paint a detailed picture.
Instead of writing a basic daily gratitude list, write in your journal once a week or whenever you feel happy about something. An elaborate entry carries more benefits than a basic list. Use descriptive words to paint a detailed picture with your words to fully capture the gratitude and happiness you felt during that wonderful moment.
3. Be grateful to people who make you happy.
Focusing on people you are grateful for is more effective than focusing on material things.
4. Reflect on your blessings.
When you write about an event in your journal, reflect on what your life would be like without that joy. This can stimulate gratitude.
5. Enjoy surprises.
Events that were surprising or unexpected can elicit stronger levels of gratitude; include these in your gratitude journal. Also reflect on the feelings that were roused by these surprises, such as being overwhelmed, tears of joy, excitement, relief, and happiness.
6. Be creative.
A gratitude journal does not have to consist of just gratitude lists or merely words. Have fun with it! The Happy Birthday Book and The Happy Rosy Day Book have gratitude exercises and fun journal prompts with specific pages for each treasure you collect such as "theater tickets from your favorite movie" and "dried wildflowers from a picnic or outing." Tape movie tickets inside, photos, dried flowers, empty teabag packets, restaurant receipts, and more. The love, beauty, happiness, adventure, and fun from this year of your life will be safely preserved in this treasure book.
7. Read your gratitude journal.
An important tip that nobody surprisingly shares is this: read your gratitude journal. It is a happiness book! It is your happiness book! It is your story and depicts your most magical moments, beautiful blessings, and awesome adventures. If you are having a stressful day, read your gratitude journal. If you feel down, read your gratitude journal. When you want to relax with a good book and a cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon, read your very own Happy Rosy Day Book, because this is a most heartwarming book that is written by you to recollect your life's most beautiful moments.
Gratitude encourages positive thinking. It nourishes an optimistic outlook and a rosy life. Experience the beauty and joy that can light up your life by practicing gratitude.
Begin Your Beautiful Life of Gratitude

Amel Rocks BBK
The songs that populate Bravebird are a breed unto themselves, a hybrid of genres flowing effortlessly through each other in a post-modern reverie. Which is not to say that the careful listener won't identify some unifying themes: a tribute to those who have endured suffering, a plea for immersion, a call to humanity.
Flying high with a recent Grammy nomination for her work as a featured artist on Stanley Clarke's "Where is The Love," neo-soul songbird Amel Larrieux stretches her own wings as a musical Bravebird in her sophomore
solo effort, rising courageously into atmosphere untouched by her contemporaries.
Building on critical acclaim earned from her debut, Infinite Possibilities, Amel fuses a range of genres – R&B, soul, hip-hop, jazz and folk, among them – to defy an easy pigeonhole. The songs that populate Bravebird are a breed unto themselves, a hybrid of genres flowing effortlessly through each other in a post-modern reverie. Which is not to say that the careful listener won't identify some unifying themes: a tribute to those who have endured suffering, a plea for immersion, a call to humanity.
An urban songbird by birth, the New York native grew up in a West Village "artists building," her parents exposing her early to bohemian characters and experiences that would mold her eclectic sensibilities. By 18, sure that she wanted to express herself musically, she wrote a song and created a demo tape, leading by serendipity to her pairing with Bryce Wilson. As lead siren and co-writer for the duo Groove Theory, Amel enjoyed success with "Tell
Me," which broke the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100 and the top five on the R&B charts before being certified gold in October 1995. She has since collaborated with hip-hop super group The Roots on several songs and tours.

It seems that Lim Ju-hwan has been in the hospital for 3 months due to heart problems since his admittance into the army. However, he's not considering early discharge from the army.
He joined the 102 training camp in Chooncheon on the 17th of May and was hospitalized for heart problems while getting basic military training.
Considering his condition got better, he was then moved to a medical corps for treatment.
His management says, "He hasn't fully recovered so he's still receiving treatment at the medical corps. However, he's not considering early discharge whatsoever".
It seems that he was already suffering from heart illness even before he joined the army. He could've been exempted or serve his duty as a public soldier but he insisted he become an active one.
Meanwhile, Lim Ju-hwan has been in dramas such as "A Love to Kill", "The Snow Queen", "Boys over Flowers", "Tamra, the Island" and more, as well as movies "A Millionaire's First Love", "A Frozen Flower", "Suicide Forecast" and more.

Gabriel Barbosa believes tougher challenges lie ahead after Brazil opened their Copa America Centenario campaign with a goalless draw against Ecuador.
The 19-year-old forward came off the bench during the second half of the stalemate in Pasadena, shortly before Ecuador's Miller Bolanos had a goal controversially disallowed in the 66th minute.
Peru beat Haiti 1-0 in Group B's other fixture and Barbosa believes Brazil must sharpen up their end product in Neymar's absence when they take on the Central American nation in Orlando on Wednesday.
"I don't believe this has been our most complicated opponent," Gabriel told reporters.
"Every match is difficult, every national team has been strong for a while now. So, regardless of that, we must get on the pitch and try to play our game."I think we failed at the last pass today. It was a good game, very difficult and well-fought, where we created chances but failed to score. But I believe we had a good performance, overall."

Ven A Mi Joven
A light mezcal for those wanting an introduction to the drink that is rested for seven weeks in oak barrels.
Clear with a light amber hue.
Aromas of sweet smoke with stewing red fruits are followed by pot pourri and fresh strawberries.
A light bodied palate with a creamy mouth-feel. The smoke is slight at first but then builds into thick charcoal smoke with citrus highlights.
A soft and fragrant finish with stewed raspberries.

Here are four ways of hacking into your iPhone 4S without any jailbreak. They will open new options without jeopardizing your device.
As you all know, iOS 5 is a closed, Apple protected system. To install new functionalities or even programs that are not allowed on the AppStore, it is necessary to jailbreak the iPhone (at your own risk). It is not a complicated feat, but some users simply prefer to leave their iOS 5 intact for safety reasons.
So with the help of a few developers, a few tweaks were discovered in order to hack and tamper with your iPhone 4S. The next perks allow you to "pimp-up" your iPhone 4S without fear of damaging it or even compromising your device.
I will teach you how to take Panorama Pictures by enabling hidden features. You will also be able to customize your iPhone's vibrations in order to recognize a call even without looking at the screen or listening to a ringtone. Turning your iPhone into a Personal Hotspot is also one of the presented features that will enable you to use internet in any other device such as an iPad without 3G. I'll even teach you how to Browse the web privately, just follow the instructions below.
1. Turn your iPhone 4S into a standalone Wi-Fi base station
It is not a genius discovery, but it could save you some money. In other words, you can transform your iPhone 4s into a tiny internet access point and mobile router.
A few drawbacks worth to mention before we continue. First of all the battery life. Your iPhone 4 has very limited amount of battery when operating over 3G. It becomes power hungry (Your iPhone will connect through 3G in order to enable the internet access over Wi-Fi) That battery limit is about 5 hours. Secondly, if you're connecting it to an iPad, it won't have GPS. The iPad through Wi-Fi will only calculate an approximate result. That may interfere with whatever action you are doing on your iPad.
Nevertheless it is a great choice if you are planning to buy an iPad to go along with your iPhone, or simply to enable web into your laptop occasionally. You can choose a cheaper Wi-Fi version of the iPad, and use your iPhone as an internet provider. Also worth mentioning is that your hotspot will turn itself off after 1 hour if it is not used.
Depending on your carrier, here is what you should do to use your very own personal Hotspot for the first time:
1 – Access Settings and tap on click on General, Network.
2 – Choose Personal Hotspot and turn it on by tapping on the On/Off button. (Attention, some carriers do not provide internet tethering, for which this option will not be available. Also, depending on your carrier, you may be able to choose Personal Hotspot directly from Settings).
3 – You will then choose a Wi-Fi password. Users will need to enter this password in order to access your hotspot, so choose it wisely. It is recommended that the password contains Uppercase letters and numerals. However you can choose whatever password you like as long as it has more than 8 characters.
4 – After entering the password, tap Done, and you'll be asked how you want to share your internet access. Choose USB and Wi-Fi if that's the case, and you're done!
5- Use your iPad or laptop to search for your hotspot (it will have the name of your iPhone). You can then access the internet through Wi-Fi (on a radius of approximately 7 free meters around your iPhone) simply by entering your chosen password.
2. Private Browsing
We know, you want to check out the new pictures of your ex, but you don't want your current partner to know. Or maybe you just want to make some secret gift shopping. Well now you can! You only need to turn on Private Browsing. It allows you to browse the web without leaving a trace on your phone. Here is how:
1 – In your Settings app, search for Safari and open it.
2 – Inside you will find the Privacy tab. There you can turn on Private Browsing by tapping on the On/Off switch. Right underneath you can change the "Accept cookies" option. Et Voilá.
3. Panorama Pictures
iOS 5 has a hidden feature that will make every photography lover rejoice. The discovery was made by Conrad Kramer, and later developed by RedmondPie in order to work on every NON-Jailbroken iPhone 4s and iPad2.
The Panorama picture is a functionality that allows your phone to create a single landscape picture by adding several attached to each other. In order to get it to work you should follow the next few steps (attention, you are going to meddle in the iPhone's Library what could damage or brick your device. Do it at your own risk.):
1 – First you should back up your data in iTunes. Don't jump this step! It is absolutely necessary for you to perform the hack. (Simply open iTunes, right click on your connected iPhone and choose Back-up.)
2 – Download, install and launch a little program called "iBackupBot". You can find a free trial here for Mac and Windows.
3 – Inside the right tab of your iBackupBot, locate the file Library/Preferences/com.apple.mobileslideshow.plist and double click on it. An editing page will open with a small text.
4 – Directly underneath <key>DiskSpaceWasLow</key> <false/>, add <key>EnableFirebreak</key> <true/> and click the disk item to save.
5 – Now go back to iTunes, restore with your backup (the one you just tampered with).
6 – Tah-dah! You successfully hacked your iPhone 4S without any hiccups. Pick up your phone, open the Camera application, navigate to Options and click on Panorama to start shooting panorama pictures.
4. Custom Vibrations
Our last, but not least, interesting hidden feature of the iOS5 is personally of my true favorites. You can customize the vibration pattern of your iPhone 4S by defining your own rhythms. Besides, you can even apply a different rhythm to each contact of your list.
Imagine that you have your phone on silent inside your pocket. If you follow this guide, you can know who's calling without even looking at the screen. Also, you will not need to change any hidden file, or even jailbreak your device. This option is well hidden within the iPhone's settings menu.
To create new vibrating patterns follow these steps:
1 – Through the Settings application, select General and open the Accessibility menu. Then enable Custom Vibrations.
2 – Also in Settings, select Sounds, and open Vibration in order to record a customized vibration pattern. Flip to the end of the list to record a custom vibration pattern that will replace the default one.
3 – When creating a new vibration, just tap the screen with the intended rhythm. When finished, choose Stop and Play to double check you achieved the desired result. Then just save the pattern with a custom name and you're ready to go.
4 – Now if you want to assign that pattern to a contact, choose one from your contact list, tap Edit, Vibration, and choose the one created (or Create a New Vibration). That's it!
Stay tuned to BeijingiPhoneRepair.com for more tweaks and perks. We will keep you up to date with all new discovered features.
