On Ma –Baba's annual visit this year, we thought we would go to the very tip of India, the southern most point where the three seas meet. Thereafter we planned to throw in a bit of Kerala too with the sleepy town of Kollam (formerly known as Quilon) and the vibrant Cochin (the better part of it now called Ernakulam). We set off the Kanyakumari express which leaves Bangalore at 9: 40 pm to reach Kanyakumari at 6pm the next evening. This train, though headed for Tamil Nadu, (where Kanyakumari is located) travels for most of the morning through the lush green land of Kerala. Acres of coconut trees and banana groves on both sides presented a breath taking sight. We learnt of a new tourist destination, Varkala beach, a group of foreign tourists were headed there. The train also stopped at Ernakulum station.
We reached Kanyakumari at the stipulated time. Our bookings were made at the 'Tri Sea ' hotel named after the confluence of the three seas ( Arabian sea, Bay of Bengal and the Indian ocean) at the farthest point of Kanyakumari. There was a bit of confusion when our autorickshaw driver sped off with one of our bags by mistake. Another auto driver who had arrived with other tourists knew him and called him on the mobile phone (jai ho cell revolution!!) and before we could panic further, our bag was brought back. Our rooms faced the sea and thus we had a good view of the Vivekanand Rock which would be our destination on the next day and the gigantic statue of Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar built on an adjacent rock.Ma and Baba called it a day, while we went to explore the sea side. We had missed the sun set by minutes, anyhow we had the whole of next day to experience this quaint town of Kanyakumari! The children went quite berserk at the sight of the sea waves and I had a tough time stopping them from running right into the ocean!! It had grown quite dark by then, however we splashed about for some time before having dinner and finally turning in.

The next morning we were all up by 5am and we reached the seaside, sun rise point well in advance. The most amazing thing was that half the world had already arrived at the scene. Thousands of people we milling about, waiting to witness the phenomenon. There were many waiting to to take a dip in the confluence of the seas at the auspicious moment of the sun rise. It was cloudy and therefore it was not a picture book sun rise, however the changing colour of the skies presented a spectacular picture. Ma and Baba watched from the balcony of the hotel itself.
After the sun rise show was over we returned to the hotel and quickly got ready and set off for the sea side once again to visit the famous Vivekanand Rock. The young Vivekananda had wandered to this southern most point of the country in search of enlightenment. Gazing at this rock from the shore, he was intrigued by it and yearning for the seclusion it afforded, the young man swam across to it and meditated long on its rocky surface. In the 1970s the then President of India, V V Giri, inaugurated the memorial 'temple' that has been built on the rock now. Personally I would have prefferd it if they had left the rock well alone, but I am sure very few among the 'authorities' the view. As if this were not enough, a rock beside Vivekanand's has been usurped by the supporters of Tamil patriotism, who, no doubt resented the predominance of a Bengali (Vivekanand) in these parts. As a result a monstrous statue of the ancient Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar has been erected on a rock right next to Vivekanand's. Thiruvalluver looms out of the ocean like an ominous genie and dwarfs the Vivekanand rock. The Tamillians have, at least symbolically, established their superiority but unfortunately they have further destroyed the pristine beauty of the place that had so inspired Vivekanand. The place still remains a favourite of the Bengalis scores of them thronged the place. Even though we visited the place on a weekday, there were very large crowds around. Bengalis and Keralites comprised the greatest number among the tourists. It took us half an hour in the long winding queue, to get to the ticket counter . There were two ferry launches taking passengers to and from the rocks. We had to wait for another 15 to 20minutes after buying the tickets. In the waiting room after the ticket counter, there were long cement benches for the passengers. On the walls of this waiting room was scribbled names and phone numbers of our literate and yet uneducated public and most of those who had so desecrated the walls belonged to the north of the country- Pune, Punjab, Delhi- very rarely were they people from the south. There was a proposition saying- 'good looking boys available' (or something to that effect) followed by their names and phone numbers! There was also an admonition written in bright blue across a wall which said "please do not write on the walls"! Finally it was our turn to ride the ferry boat. It is a short ride of about 7-8 minutes. The rock affords a beautiful view of the seas and the pretty town of Kanyakumari. There are two 'temples' on the rock, one dedicated to the deity 'Kumari' which has her footprint in it, opposite to it is the Vivekanand shrine. Below the shrine is a meditation room. We could see the different colours of the three seas that merged into one, near the rock. The sea breeze was soothing and cool, although the day was very hot. We spent a happy half and hour on the rock. We walked through the meditation room where people were chanting the 'om' sound, we also visited the souvenir shops lined along the back of the memorial shrine and bought many interesting knick knacks from there.
We gave the Thiruvalluvar rock a miss because there were a lot of steps to climb and we were weary after the day in the scorching sun. We returned to the mainland and headed for the seaside shops to buy shells and dry fruits. There was some delightful stuff at these shops. Then we went to the rocky beach which we had visited last evening. The children immediately dived in! There was a sign board saying that it was a 'deep and dangerous' sea-they did not care whether the sea was deep or dangerous, they were ecstatic! The little one chanted 'deep and dangerous sea' every time the waves hit him, however the next moment he went further in! I spent half the fishing the kids out of the water. In the evening we witnessed a quiet and beautiful sun set at the 'sun set point'. In sharp contrast to the sun rise, this was a perfect affair with the round orange sun dipping smoothly into the sea. Later in the evening we set off for Kollam ( the hotel arranged for the taxi which took Rs 2000 for the four hour drive). Kollam along with Alleppy a little further down are the centers from where the famous backwater trips are organized in Kerala. On our way we had our first taste of Kerala cuisine at a restaurant in Trivandrum where we stopped for dinner. It was appam and idiappam all the way- lip smacking! We reached Kollam at 10: 30 pm and there was nothing much to do than to go to sleep. We got up next morning to see a beautiful town, covered in coconut trees. From the balcony at one of the rooms we could catch a glimpse of the backwater trail, with a small houseboat parked in it. Out of the various trips in the backwaters and canals we chose the traditional boat ride which included a 2 hour tour of the canals through villages, with stoppages at a coir rope making unit, lakes where fish are cultivated and coconut oil making units. The boat ride was preceded by a 45 minute bus ride to Munroe Island from where we boarded the boat. Thereafter we quietly floated down the winding canals. There were several low bamboo and even concrete bridges over the canals under which we had to duck, apart from that exertion, the trip went off smoothly. It was fun to glide down the tree lined canal way looking out for birds and tadpoles in the water. The most familiar bird for us was the snake bird (apart from the crow!), kingfishers, eagles and egrets. After doing some leisurely wandering we were treated to some tea at a tea stall cum coir making unit. The lady who made tea for us also demonstrated later the art of making the coir ropes at a spinning wheel behind her shop. The 'husk' of the coconut is first immersed in water for a stipulated period of time and then dried and separated into a threadlike mass. Next, this mass is slowly and skilfully wound into the wheel to make the ropes. It was thrilling to watch the rope appear from a mass of thread as if by magic!
During our meanderings we also saw great lakes/ ponds where fish, including the popular tiger prawn is 'grown'. Large nets have been used to cover the ponds so that the birds do not make off with the fish. For the first time I saw nets being used to save and not to catch fish! Our final stop was at a coconut oil making unit where we also saw a cashew tree in fruit a pineapple shrub. Finally we were treated to sweet tender coconut water, fresh from the tree! We were on the boat with a group of foreigners (one of them had a Bengali grandfather…hail to the adventurous spirit of the Bengali!). During our ride we saw a foreigner couple on a boat by themselves and a Sikh gentleman with his family in another. At the tea shop we saw another group which also had mostly foreigners in it. Thus I concluded that this beautiful ride is more popular among the foreigners than us Indians, who would rather avoid the glaring rays of the sun! I rate this tour better than the launch ride of eight hours between Kollam and Alleppy (which we did 13 years ago) because it is far more adventurous and more fun. During the earlier trip we almost dozed off in the latter part of the journey! This trip did not have a single dull moment….I recommend this mesmerising trip for anyone who chooses to visit Kollam. After returning back to Kollam town, we had a quick lunch and rested for an hour before catching the bus for Ernakulum. These buses are quite frequent from the Kollam bus depot. After one and a half hours of the journey, we hopped off at Alleppy to try and catch the last backwater ride, but unfortunately missed it. We took an autorickshaw to Ernakulum from Alleppy, which is a journey of another one and a half hours. Now, this auto fellow decided that he should take us to the heart of Fort Kochi because I had said that we wanted to stay at a place from where the Chinese fishing nets were easily accessible. What we did not know was that whereas earlier the only way to get to the fort side was by ferry boats, now the powers that be have built bridges connecting the town with the Fort Kochi area and half the islands, making the ferry system nearly redundant. What a shame, the charm of the place has diminished considerably due to this. In any case, we managed to get a good hotel at Fort Kochi and after a hearty dinner with Kerala parotha and curry washed down with some lemon tea, we fell fast asleep looking forward to a bright day ahead.
The next day, after breakfast we first went to the Synagogue in the heart of Jew town at the Fort. This place also has the famous spice market of Cochin. Thirteen years ago we had breezed into the synagogue and taken a photo of the inner sanctum. Now it presented a forbidding picture- no bags allowed inside, photography prohibited, there was also an elaborate instruction regarding the proper dress that should be worn at the place of worship. People are instructed to wear no sleeveless tops or shorts- long pants and scarves were made available so that those who were 'improperly' dressed did not miss the chance to visit the place. We entered in batches, one group keeping guard over the bags by turns. When we visited the place so many years ago, there were hardly any visitors, however now there was a huge crowd gathered around the place. People from all over the world were here to see this little synagogue! The heightened security ( there were armed police lolling about the place), was perhaps due to the attack on Jews in Bombay on 26/11. After visiting the synagogue we wandered about in the long winding lanes in 'Jew Town' looking at various artefacts and spices which were on display. We ambled along to the 'Dutch Palace' which houses a museum which has many art works and costumes etc of the royal family of Travancore. Afterwards we took the ferry boat to Ernakulum town, planning to take another ferry to Bolghatty Island. They have built so many bridges across the sea that there is no need to take the ferry at all, the tickets are only Rs. 4 per head and the service is used by tourists in the main. Previously, the boats used to be full of office goers, in lungis and crisp shirts with the mandatory leather briefcases. At Ernakulum we learnt, to our dismay that the ferry to Bolghatty island has been scrapped because the island can now be reached by a 3 kilometer long bridge. The Bolghatty island has a palace which has been converted into a 5 star hotel, we had not planned to enter the hotel, we just wanted to enjoy the joy ride to the island and catch the next ferry back, but that was not to be…We had a hearty lunch in the town and took the ferry back to Fort Kochi and headed straight for the Chinese fishing nets. The sea shore where the nets are located is now filled with stalls selling trinkets and t-shirts and one can hardly see the shoreline. This area was once open and unpaved with only a few fish shops with boards saying 'You Choose, We Cook' where fish freshly caught at the nets was fried for eager visitors. Now there were no such shops in sight. We observed the complicated process of fishing with the help of the nets for some time. After wandering at the sea side stalls for a bit, we returned to the hotel for some rest.
In the evening we left the sleeping kids with Ma and Baba and went to explore the place around the hotel for the last time. We found the 'you choose, we cook' shops at a place very near our hotel, however they just sold the fish. The fish would have to be fried by various 'seafood' restaurants which have sprung up around the place. We had the fish fried and packed at one of these places and headed off to the station as we were taking the 9 o'clock train back to Bangalore. Finally we ate the fish with our dinner of doas in the train. A delicious ending to a delightful holiday!!

Red Lentil Soup
A winter warmer if ever there was one. Really we are going out of season for soups in this part of the world. although the evenings are still nippy enough to warrant a bowl of this with warm crusty bread for dinner. I have always found Lentil Soup such a comfort food. So easy to make. A complete meal in a bowl it's so thick and filling. I have tried to quantify the ingredients but this to me is more of a chuck in the pot soup. I also use up slightly 'past their best veggies' in it. The smoked bacon is essential though. Wonderful flavour.
250 gms/8 oz smoked streaky bacon
1 medium sized onion chopped
1 medium potato chopped
2 or 3 carrots chopped
2 red/orange/yellow pepper chopped (The more wrinkly they are the sweeter they are)
225g/8oz red lentils
1 teaspoon of paprika
A good pinch of cayenne pepper
A 400g/14oz can of tomatoes
900mls/1 1/2 pints approx. chicken stock (Keep some more to the side in case you find the soup too thick)
Black pepper
A little oil
Add any veggies around that need using up.
Cut up the bacon and fry gently in the oil.
Add onion and spices and cook slowly until soft.
Add the carrots potatoes peppers and tomatoes then the lentils.
Give it all a good stir.
Add the stock and simmer until the lentils are nice and soft.
Using a stick blender, purée the soup.
Add more stock if you find it too thick.
It freezes well too if you are like me and incapable of making a small pot of soup.

How clever are you, I could no more write down a recipe for lentil soup than fly in the air...... a bit of this a bit of that, I also can only make pans of soup enough to feed a navvy.

I'm making this as we speak! Using up some leftover easter ham instead of bacon though. :) Thanks!

George Thank you. x
Sandy Bacon Bones would be perfect. Butchers here used to give away ham/bacon bones for soup but not any more hence I started using bacon. x
Jaygirl I cannot ever make a small pot of soup x
Soon,Then Nice to see you here. I hope you enjoyed the soup x

I love that you included bacon in this recipe. It must add a nice smokey flavor to the soup. For an alternate vegetarian version you can check out my blog, Hartley Confections:

Being anti-charity
Just as a brief disclaimer, I don't actually hold the views I am about to express:
Most people would say that charity is a good thing and necessary. There are those however who are against it. At first you might be like "wait, what?", but they do have reasons that are based in ethics.
For example they might argue that charity is simply a treatment of the symptoms of social ills, whereas we should be addressing the root causes of social inequality and problems. Some might even say that charity gets in the way of us attempting to solve the root of the problem. In some ways I agree with this, I think we should aim for a society with no homelessness for example, but obviously I wouldn't want charity to cease providing help to homeless people. We need charity, but we shouldn't let it stop us from trying to tackle the root causes.
In some sense it serves the state, because the state can allow homelessness to persist in the knowledge that charities will help people out. Perhaps a solution would be for charities to put more pressure on the government to address root causes, rather than being there to pick up the pieces for the state.
Do you think being against charity is a valid position to hold? Why/why not?

Re: Being anti-charity
As you say, Laurens, I think charity should continue alongside solving the root causes of problems. It's all very well for people to say they're against charity, and give reasons for such, but unless the causes are addressed, charity is still needed.
The main problem is government policies: policies which divide the community into "haves" and "have nots", into "us" and "them", which marginalise or increase marginalisation of part of the community, are bad policies - those which unite the community, are good policies.
NGOs and charities spring up due to bad policies creating socio-economic problems where the government fails to address the policies' fall-out.
If policies were better thought out, there'd be fewer socio-economic issues, and - as a result - less or no need for NGOs, and charity.
Kindest regards,

Re: Being anti-charity
Here is another reason for being anti-charity:
The amount given to the charity vs the amount spend.
There are a lot of money to goes to a charity, but how much is actually spend on what it lobbying for.
For example:
you give 100 dollars for a charity that would help provide water purification systems in Africa, but only 2 dollars is actually spend on that.
The other 98 dollars was spend on:
-travel expenses of people (not for the actual goal)
-anything else not related
This can be reason enough for some people to not give money to certain charities.

An interesting thriller set in Hyderabad.
Like the author states on her bio-profile, I love reading thrillers too. So I jumped at the chance to review this book when it came through tbcblogtours.
Indian whodunnits are something I have watched more on TV. I was looking forward to the reading experience.
This book held promise. It has not one but two crime stories. Terse, compact and plunging right into action, these plot driven stories offer a fascinating insight into the high society and its inhabitants.
The protagnist Vikram Rana reminded me of Rowling's Cormoran Strike, both embarking on their first case after a stint elsewhere. But that is where the similarity ends. Rana is a more conventional and stable character than Strike.
The protagnist Vikram Rana reminded me of Rowling's Cormoran Strike, both embarking on their first case after a stint elsewhere. But that is where the similarity ends. Rana is a more conventional and stable character than Strike.
Vikrama Rana is an ex-cop turned detective. He lands his first case when a close friend calls on him to solve a murder. To get to the killer, Rana will have to wade through murky secrets and lies, while trying to balance a feisty domestic front.
What works:
- The setting. This is the USP of the novel. I loved the way Shenoy infuses the story with Hyderabadi names, food and flavour. What sets a thriller apart for me, is the setting and the backdrop. This book scores on that count.
- The protagnist. Vikram Rana is an interesting character with his own set of vices. His relationship with his wife and their domestic banter is portrayed very well. It is interesting how Shenoy had etched out the two characters. Only wish Gopi Reddy had such a distinct persona as well. The stories change but these characters will remain constant through the series. Developing these characters better through each murder case will add value to the series.
- The suspects. Shenoy lays out an interesting set of characters in each of her cases. They represent different social strata and contribute to the story in their own way.
- A fast track read. The stories are quick and compelling perfect for today's restless readers.
What doesn't:
- The story is action oriented and focused towards containing the reader's attention. However, the plot twists could have been worked better and the characters could have a bit more depth.
Barring few typo errors, the book is like a quick snack. An ideal travel companion for those holiday weekends.
Detective aficionados will like this more.

2009 Projects: A Year in Review
By Daniel J. Moeglin
Released/Published: Oct 5, 2009
As winter sets in over northeast Ohio, we here in the Engineering Department like to step back and review what we were able to accomplish over the past year. By doing so, we are able to take pride in what went well, as well as identify areas where we can improve in 2010.
So, what have we accomplished in 2009? To alleviate flooding concerns and reduce the risk to residents' personal property, we completed the storm sewer, retention basin, and roadway reconstruction projects at 30th Street NE, 49th Street/Gardendale Street NE, and 25th Street NE. These projects will ensure that storm water is handled safely and efficiently during our wettest seasons, and hopefully allow residents to sleep more comfortably during those big summer thunderstorms.
Additionally, with the support of the Canton Chamber of Commerce and local property owners, we constructed several streetscape projects downtown and throughout the City. We also paved about 1.4 million dollars' worth Canton's roads as part of approximately $7.5 million invested overall in local infrastructure – most of which came in the form of grants from non-City taxpayer sources.
All in all, 2009 has been a very successful year. We look forward to continuing these successes in 2010 and will continuously evaluate our organization, priorities, and processes so we can be even more efficient with taxpayer's dollars during these tough economic times.

Business Building Ideas:
Jul 27, 2017
The National Association of College and University Food Services (NACUFS) held their National Conference in Nashville, TN this year from July 12-15. Below is a recap of some conference highlights.
- We sampled two of our new product lines launched within the past year, Craft Toppings™ (burger and sandwich toppings) and True Foundations™ ("clean labels"). We received favorable feedback from showcase attendees, especially those that sampled our Hearty Chicken Soup with Ancient Grains made with our Gold Label True Foundations™ Chicken Base.
- Health claims, specifically gluten free and the evolving trend of plant-based foods were abundant on the NACUFS Showcase floor. Coffee beverages were very popular, the most interesting being Port Java City "Japanese cold brew." General Mills definitely stepped outside their box and sampled a tasty "mashup" – Lucky Charms Milkshakes.
- The team only got to attend a few interest sessions, the most interesting being "Food Waste Solutions = Collaborative Teamwork." Andrew Shakman, leader of LeanPath, moderated a panel that included the University of Connecticut and University of Massachusetts. The spine of their presentation was about food waste on C&U campuses and some innovative waste reduction solutions that were a direct result of technology and collaborative teamwork between dining service employees and their students.
We are all looking forward to NACUFS 2018 in Providence, Rhode Island!

NFL Network Top 100 Poll: Aaron Rodgers Knows All About Being the BestJune 29, 2012
The votes by the current NFL players have been counted and tabulated. Aaron Rodgers is the very best player in the NFL, based on the results from The Top 100: Players of 2012 that NFL Network has been running for several weeks now.
Rodgers, as usual, was ready to share his glory with others.
"It's very humbling," Rodgers said via telephone talking to the panel on NFL Network after hearing the news. "It's a great honor anytime you're recognized with that professional respect from your peers, that really means a lot to me, so I have to thank them for the votes.
"Obviously, this is in a recognition that doesn't get done without an incredible group of people around you. That's often lost when the focus is on one individual. My teammates, my coaches, our tens of thousands of owners that we have there in Green Bay and across the country, I have to give them a lot of things, as well."
Rodgers also knows that the goal in the NFL is not about winning individual awards, but team awards...like winning another Vince Lombardi Trophy.
"It's all about championships," Rodgers said in the same interview. "It's about winning championships and it doesn't matter other than championships. It doesn't matter other than proceeding how you do in the regular season. It's about how you're playing at the end of the season because championships are what you're remembered for. We tasted that feeling in 2010-11 and it was a special run.
"You get in that mode when you come into the next season where you feel like that's going to happen every year and you realize how special that time was and how badly it makes you want to get back to that feeling and that stage.
"I think last year we slipped a little bit and got comfortable, and hopefully this year people will talk about the Giants and other teams, the Saints, Niners and Eagles making a comeback, some of those other teams and we can kind of fly under the radar and be the same kind of team we were a couple years back."
But Rodgers also knows how it feels to be No. 1, both as an individual and as a team. But it was a very tough road he had to go down to reach those achievements.
Just think back to the summer of 2008. Brett Favre decided he wanted to play football again after retiring in March of that year. I remember the situation vividly. The Packers as an organization had decided to move on to Rodgers at QB, as he had been working out as the starting QB of the Packers after Favre's retirement.
Favre wasn't just any QB either. He was a living legend in Green Bay after starting for 16 consecutive years for the green and gold. Favre's stats were mind boggling.
Favre had started 275 straight games, including the playoffs, as a Packer. He also had 160 wins (the most ever in NFL history at the time), seven NFC Central/North titles, two NFC championships and one Super Bowl win.
Plus there was the 442 TD passes (the most ever again in NFL history at the time), was named All-Pro six times, was named to nine Pro Bowl teams and also won three NFL MVP awards.
Rodgers was right in the middle of that ugly scene, as a number of fans were voicing their displeasure that Favre was not allowed to be back on the team at the early training-camp practices in 2008.
Rodgers remained stoic and classy through all of that adversity.
Rodgers went on to have a very nice season his first year as a starter in 2008, as he threw 28 TD passes vs. 13 interceptions for 4,038 yards and had a QB rating of 93.8. Rodgers has gotten better every year since the 2008 season.
In fact, Rodgers has never had a QB rating below 100 in any season since the 2008 season.
It all came together in 2010, when Rodgers led the NFC in passing with a 101.2 QB rating. That was a nice individual accomplishment. But what he was able to do leading his team in the NFC playoffs that year was much more significant.
Rodgers was spectacular in the playoffs that postseason, as he threw nine TD passes compared to just two interceptions for 1,094 yards and a QB rating of 109.8. Rodgers accomplished all that, as the Packers won three straight road games in very difficult environments in the NFC playoffs and then the Super Bowl against another very tough opponent.
The Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XLV 31-25, as Rodgers was named MVP. Rodgers threw three TD passes and had no interceptions for 304 yards and a QB rating of 111.5 to win that award.
In 2011, Rodgers threw 45 TD passes to just six interceptions for 4,643 yards and had a QB rating of 122.5 of 2011. The 122.5 QB rating was the best in the NFL and also broke the all-time record set by Peyton Manning in 2004, when Manning had a 121.1 QB rating.
Rodgers was also named first-team All-Pro and was named the starting QB for the NFC in the Pro Bowl in 2011, as he led the Packers to a 15-1 regular-season record, the best record in the NFL and the NFC North.
That all led to Rodgers being named the NFL's Most Valuable Player in 2011.
So Rodgers knows all about being the best. But there is more.
Rodgers not only had the best-ever QB rating in a single season in 2011, but Rodgers is also the all-time leader in QB rating in both the regular season and the postseason.
Rodgers has thrown 132 TD passes vs. just 38 interceptions for 17,366 yards and has a 104.1 QB rating in his career during the regular season. Rodgers is the only QB in NFL history to have a QB rating of over 100 based on 1,500 passing attempts.
Bottom line, Rodgers has tasted the ultimate success in the NFL, both individually and as a member of the Green Bay Packers.
But remember what Rodgers said after he won the Top 100 designation as the best player in the NFL in 2012.
"It's all about championships," Rodgers said. "It's about winning championships, and it doesn't matter other than championships."
Spoken like a true champion.

In 2017, approximately 10,500 people died in alcohol-impaired driving crashes, accounting for 28% of all traffic-related deaths in the U.S. The Grim Reaper, known as Death, came to collect 28 souls representing 28% who made a poor choice of driving while impaired. Seniors were randomly selected from classrooms and given a T-shirt to wear with the slogan, "Prom Promise, My Life is Worth it". They all sat together at lunch not speaking to anyone representing that they are no longer here, just a memory.
This is a traditional activity for SADD chapters dating back to the earliest days of the organization. It is popular during prom and graduation season known as a high-risk time for impaired and underage drinking. If we can help students stop and think about the dangers of impaired driving we are doing our job. Your life is worth it!

Apple has complied with a ruling by the UK Court of Appeal, and has published an apology for wrongly accusing Samsung of copying the design of the iPad.
The original High Court ruling required Apple to post an apology on its UK home page in a font no smaller than Arial 11, but The Appeals Court softened this by saying a link on the homepage to the apology would be sufficient.
A link at the bottom of Apple's UK website takes visitors to a plain white page and six-paragraph statement outlining the judge's points comparing the design of Apple and Samsung products - although Apple couldn't help but include the High Court quote about the iPad stating: "It is a cool design."
Further down, the company explains that the judgement has effect throughout the European Union and it was upheld by the Court of Appeal.
Concluding, Apple adds some context to its various court battles with Samsung, stating:
"In a case tried in Germany regarding the same patent, the court found that Samsung engaged in unfair competition by copying the iPad design.
"A US jury also found Samsung guilty of infringing on Apple's design and utility patents, awarding over one billion US dollars in damages to Apple Inc.
"So while the UK court did not find Samsung guilty of infringement, other courts have recognised that in the course of creating its Galaxy tablet, Samsung willfully copied Apple's far more popular iPad."
Apple's punishment will continue over the weekend, when the company must publish a similar statement in larger Arial 14 font in a number of UK publications such as the Financial Times, Guardian and leading technology magazines.
The statement must remain visible online for at least six months, to "correct the damaging impression" of Samsung created by Apple, Judge Birss ruled in the High Court.

|2017.02.03 Gold Cycle Model Chart
The gold cycle model continues to predict higher prices for the metal going forwards. The end of 2016 may have seen an inflection point if the model is valid. Both the GDXJ and GLD medium-term trade models are aligned, as they have been in buy mode since the end of 2016, which lends additional support to the hypothesis. You can go to the medium term model out page on the link above or by clicking here. The medium-term models are updated on Fridays, and I will post any changes that occur on the weekend.

The World's Fastest Production Motorcycle
Lightning Motorcycles is turning the sportbike world upside down … with electricity.
Lightning Motorcycles has designed and produced a Sportbike sure to change the minds of anyone doubting electric motorcycle performance.
The LS-218 is the fastest production motorcycle in the world – gas or electric.
See Lightning Motorcycles spectacular display, sure to spellbind speed freaks and environmentalists alike, at this year's Pacific Coast Dream Machines Show, April 28 at Half Moon Bay Airport.
Their innovation and multiple world speed records make Lightning Motorcycles CEO Richard Hatfield very excited about the future.
"We've demonstrated that alternatively fueled vehicles can win against current competition with currently available technology. And this ultimately means a 'win' for everyone," he says. "Solar energy-fueled vehicles are not just a theoretical concept to be realized sometime in the distant future. They are a reality today. They can compete head to head with gasoline powered vehicles, without leaving a carbon footprint."
The decision to go with solar was an easy one for Hatfield, and he especially enjoys being able to show nay-sayers that the impossible is, in fact, possible.
"Many people have this idea that electric vehicles are not reliable, that the technology is not really viable," he explains. "Lightning Motorcycles is showing that using alternative energy doesn't automatically mean you have to compromise."
Lightning Motorcycle has been involved in researching and manufacturing electric two wheeled transportations (E2W) since 2006. Lightning builds the fastest production motorcycle in the world, has won many road racing competitions and set several world speed records.
Lightning's solutions have been used in various applications, including fuel cell hybrid electric buses, hybrid cars, electric motorcycles, electric ATV, electric yard trucks for ferrying shipping containers, professional ocean racing yachts, and many other areas.
Their mission is to build electric 2-wheel transportation (E2W) that has superior efficiency, performance, and affordability than current gasoline alternatives. Learn more at www.lightningmotorcycle.com

Thoughts on Neighborhood Services
After our first failed attempt at Neighborhood Services Tavern, we decided to give it another shot on a Friday night when we knew they would be open. The restaurant is tiny and with a 45 minute wait, we decided to head to the bar. The bartender looked so familiar to me and after a little further investigation I realized that we went way back* so we decided to forgo the traditional table and just eat there.
We had fried asparagus with lemon and dill aioli to start, he got soft shell crab tacos, and I got the Schnitz with black pepper spaetzle (basically pounded veal with a cous cous-esque pasta). He definitely got out-whataburgered... the schnitz was tender, had great flavor, and what little of it was leftover- he quickly consumed. I had never had schnitzel before, and my first experience did not disappoint. Being a lover of all things spicy, the asparagus could have been kicked up a notch, but I completely understand that not everyone likes things as hot as I do.
The food was great, but Andrew (the bartender) was what really made the experience for me. When the food came I was drinking a Stella and he came up and poured a third of a glass of wine and said "try this with your food, you'll love it". I love wine. And I love food. And despite being raised by glass swirling, tannin sniffing, napa lovers... I would not know the first thing about what to pair with SCHNITZEL. (Hence the Stella-- in a feat of grand stereotyping, my thought process went as follows: German's love beer. Schnitzel = German-esque. Therefore, Schnitzel + Beer = tasty pairing... yaaay logic!)
Anyways, the wine made it pop much more than the beer. I appreciated him not only knowing the menu and his wine list, but knowing what would work together and taking it upon himself to suggest I try it. Love that. Our experience ended with discussions/tastings of what exactly grappa and St. Germain were. FYI, grappa tastes like rubbing alcohol. But St. Germain could be quite tasty mixed in the appropriate cocktail.
So to wrap it all up, I will be going back to Neighborhood Services and when I do, I will most definitely be barside.
*In trying to figure out why the bartender looked familiar, I asked where he had worked before NS and he told me Fireside Pies. Then it clicked... about six years ago when we were all fresh out of college we had a girl's night at Fireside. We had all just moved to Dallas and had heard about this bar that was "invitation only" called The Candleroom and wanted to go. So after dinner, we stopped to ask Andrew how to get in-- he promptly set his martini shaker down and told us to follow him. He literally left the bar, walked us across Henderson, down the little side street, introduced us to the door-guy and made sure we got in. The funniest part about it was that he was walking so fast (ya know, since he had a BAR to attend to and all) that he had about eight girls trailing behind him in single file. He looked like a mama duck leading his eight chicks to the pond. Too funny. {Sidenote: After further investigation, Candleroom is not really our type of place- even six years ago. But hey, we were 22 and wanted to see what all the fuss was about}.

Shark's Cove on North Shore Oahu
Wearing: Nine West Packable Floppy Hat, Prada Timeless Sunglasses, Onia Nina Halter Swimsuit, Boyfriend Shorts, Ariel Gordon Stardust Anklet, Melissa Sauce Slide Sandals.
During our trip to Oahu, we had to make a stop at one of my favorite spots, Sharks Cove. It's a great spot to snorkel, wade around in the tide pools, or just hang out for a bit before making your way over to Haleiwa or the rest of the North Shore. We stopped in once for a small amount of time, but came back later to spend more time here. The boys enjoyed wading around the pools, and I hung back and took some photos.Read More
The 5 Minute Packing Tip
I have a confession to make. I've known about my trip to Jamaica for a long time, and while I always pack the day of a trip (usually a few hours before), the day I left did not go as planned. It was one of those days that you hit every single red light, and things fall apart or arrive late, or you stab yourself in the face with a needle while hemming something (yeah I don't know how that happened either). You know, those days?Read More
How to Add Warmth to Minimal Decor
Throughout my quest to find peace with the place we live and things we're surrounded by, I've spent a lot of time evaluating the decor in our home and the items that we really need. I've come to find that while I love completely minimal decor, I love it more when there is a certain warmth to it. Here's a few ways to add more warmth to what seems like an empty space.Read More

NASA: Ice is everywhere on Ceres
At first glance, Ceres, the largest body in the main asteroid belt, may not look icy. Images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft have revealed a dark, heavily cratered world whose brightest area is made of highly reflective salts -- not ice. But newly published studies from Dawn scientists show two distinct lines of evidence of ice at or near the surface of the dwarf planet. Researchers are presenting these findings at the 2016 American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, writes NASA on its website.
Ceres' uppermost surface is rich in hydrogen, with higher concentrations at mid-to-high latitudes -- consistent with broad expanses of water ice, according to a new study in the journal Science.
"On Ceres, ice is not just localized to a few craters. It's everywhere, and nearer to the surface with higher latitudes," said Thomas Prettyman, principal investigator of Dawn's gamma ray and neutron detector (GRaND), based at the Planetary Science Institute, Tucson, Arizona.
Researchers used the GRaND instrument to determine the concentrations of hydrogen, iron and potassium in the uppermost yard (or meter) of Ceres. GRaND measures the number and energy of gamma rays and neutrons emanating from Ceres. Neutrons are produced as galactic cosmic rays interact with Ceres' surface. Some neutrons get absorbed into the surface, while others escape. Since hydrogen slows down neutrons, it is associated with fewer neutrons escaping. On Ceres, hydrogen is likely to be in the form of frozen water (which is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom).
Rather than a solid ice layer, there is likely to be a porous mixture of rocky materials in which ice fills the pores, researchers found. The GRaND data show that the mixture is about 10 percent ice by weight.
"These results confirm predictions made nearly three decades ago that ice can survive for billions of years just beneath the surface of Ceres," Prettyman said. "The evidence strengthens the case for the presence of near-surface water ice on other main belt asteroids."
Water ice on other planetary bodies is important because it is an essential ingredient for life as we know it. "By finding bodies that were water-rich in the distant past, we can discover clues as to where life may have existed in the early solar system," said Carol Raymond, deputy principal investigator of the Dawn mission, based at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.

Volunteers are being sought to serve as missionaries by LCMS World Mission.
LCMS World Mission would like to place 130 GEO missionaries and 100 short-term mission teams in overseas mission fields during 2011.
The Globally Engaged in Outreach, or GEO, missionaries typically serve a year or two, sharing their faith in endeavors such as teaching — English-as-a-foreign-language in schools and informal settings; agriculture; healthcare; computer technology; and any number of occupations.
All GEO missionary and short-term opportunities are designed to benefit long-term mission efforts through local congregations and LCMS career missionary activities.
So what's it like being a missionary?
Based in Ulaanbaatar, the country's capital, Stephenson told Reporter via e-mail she is "getting to know the growing Lutheran church here in Mongolia, to see what God is already doing in these people's lives and if there might possibly be a way we can support the sharing of the Gospel here."
Her work takes her around the country, interviewing Lutheran pastors in different regions, as well as representatives of local and international organizations.
Stephenson, who had previously served on short-term mission teams to Mexico, Honduras and Kenya, learned that a researcher was needed in Mongolia while chaperoning a summer youth trip to Central Asia last year.
She had always wanted to serve in Mongolia, she said, and believes the opportunity to do that was made possible by God.
The obvious question is why be a missionary?
"Why? Because Jesus Christ, our loving Savior, not only commands us to love one another (Matt. 22:39) [and] to care for the hungry, the outcast, the sick (Matt. 25:40), but I know that this is the greatest way I can reflect God's love in my own life," she says.
Stephenson says one of her favorite Bible verses is from 1 John 5: "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God."

It's a Monday night and a local club has a killer line-up. I'm new in town. My boyfriend has class. My acquaintances are not interested. And to drag my mother with me is going a little too far.
How many gigs have I missed because I had no one to go with? Because none of my friends liked the band? Because no one was adventurous enough to check out an under-the-radar artist? Far, far too many, and more of us have been in this situation than we would like to admit. This is one of the many reasons I am genuinely excited about Tastebuds.fm, an innovative social networking service that helps you meet people who share your love for music.
Music connects people. This is undeniable. I met some of my best friends over a shared love of bands as diverse as WHY? and Balkan Beat Box. Gregory and I bonded over a love of TiK ToK on an overcrowded tour bus trekking through the desert. Tastebuds.fm helps facilitate these kinds of connections between people of all musical tastes.
I would describe Tastebuds.fm as the offspring of a beautiful love affair between Last.fm and Facebook. Tastebuds takes your musical preferences - or "likes" if you will - assesses them, and instantly matches you with like-minded people. I have been a loyal Last.fm user for 4 years, but Tastebuds.fm truly takes it to another level; they match people based on musical compatibility and the site is incredibly easy to use. Tastebuds also sports a witty music blog - check out their recent post on musical turnoffs which is absolutely hilarious.
I guarantee that Tastebuds.fm will surprise you. I myself gave it a spin last week and was shocked to see all the attractive 20-somethings who listened to The Klezmatics within a 50-mile radius of me! (dude, only my grandparents listen to the Klezmatics!) Who knows how Tastebuds will surprise you? You might find fellow music lovers, meet future pals, or even snag a date. One thing is for sure: thanks to Tastebuds, we may never have to go to a gig alone again – and that is truly something to celebrate.
So have you checked these guys out yet? Start here - just enter your favorite bands or your Last.fm ID. And guess what? It's free!
Gregory and I know exactly what it takes to make an idea a reality. We congratulate the guys over at Tastebuds.fm on their originality, creativity, and chutzpah. We look forward to watching the site develop. Bravo!

text: A elegant grown up Christmas card. Ideal for grandparents, I would say but of course you could give it to anybody really. After matting and layering the background I used a clear ink and a rose stamp at random points around the edge then heat embossed with a red glitter embossing powder, and for that distressed look on the music sheet all I had done was run the back of my craft knife along the edges and created small tears before crumpling as gently as crumpling can be done.

Howdy. This Saturday is the first of the month, which means that we're set for another community bike ride. In light of this gorgeous weather that has befallen us, we'll be venturing out into the country a wee bit.
We'll meet at Emily Fowler at 1:30pm and leave around 2:00pm. Then we'll go down Oak west of I-35 to ol' Jim Christal. From that point on we'll enjoy the warm sun, cool breezes, and grazing cattle. Beware of ponies though. Many cyclists, entranced by the ponies' cuteness, have lost sight of obstacles and fallen over. We'll probably make it over to the airport and back. The whole ride should be about 8 miles. We'll be traveling at a leisurely pace and have a couple of breaks.
We'll see you there!
Families Welcome / Helmets encouraged!

I was never a fan of having to drive to the Glory hole so I thought to myself what if the Glory hole somehow came to me, wouldn't that be awesome? How could I do that? Then it hit me, I could use Porta Potties! No one is going to think twice about a Porta Potty on the side of the road, but little do they know it's much more than a simple Porta Potty. This is a truly Voyeuristic Glory Hole.

Given the frenetic nature of Davos when WEF is in town, I found it particularly apt that the organisers issued a report on sleep. The crux of the study is that we don't get enough of it.
Maybe I missed the point because I stayed up all night to read it.
Arianna Huffington, founder of the Huffington Post, gets it. She's even written a book on the subject. "I think that Davos is an incredibly sleep deprived part of the world right now," she said at a fringe meeting.
The problem with WEF Davos is that there is so much information blasting at you and so many people to meet, there are not enough hours in the day to take it all in. Applying a filter is an essential part of any Davos attendee's toolkit. Environment, human rights, finance, business regulation, security, migration, politics from all corners of the world – you name it, they have it. It's the Amazon of newsworthy subjects.
Having burned the candle at both ends for four days, I'm off to get some sleep – after a four hour journey home (I lost the keys to my private jet).
So what has WEF got to say about sleep? "Digital media users on average spend more hours online than they sleep, but only 50% believe it improves quality of life."
So if you're reading this online at 2am, I'll forgive you if you stop now and switch your tablet off.

I haven't done a Sunday Confessions post in what seems like forever. I feel like it needs to be some deep, dark, dirty secrets, or something. I'm just going to wing it, so it probably won't be. If you're new to this feature, it's a fun way to learn some interesting facts about me and possibly find some cute things along the way, like my first confession this week!
1. I think VW camper vans are so cool!
I know I'm mentioned that I love these camper vans on the blog before, here and here but I think I would be able to settle for spending a night (or 2) in this cute tent! Yep, look again, that's not an actual VW van, it's a tent. How awesome is that! I totally dig it! The actual things are so much cooler, but what are you gonna do!
2. I was on our high school color guard team.
You know the girls that wave and dance those huge flags around at the football games. It was my senior year and it was so short lived that I don't think I even have pictures of the us. It was the first year our school started it, and we practiced and practiced to make the team. I was never peppy enough or confident enough to be a cheerleader but for flag I put myself out there. Sad fact is I never actually got to finish the season. I had to give it up the summer I went to an art program at Savannah College of Art and Design. I sincerely thought I would end up going to that art college. Even thought I was accepted, I couldn't afford it, didn't get a scholarship and was terrified of the huge loans I would have when done (private school), so I didn't end up going. It would have been photography, obviously. Senior year was a bummer, no color guard and no art college. I can still remember the routine though. It was the song American Woman by Lenny Kravitz.
3. I love grilled hot dogs and I'm weird with my condiments.
Seriously, addicting. I craved them every night when I was pregnant with Ariana. When I make a hot dog, I always try to make it perfect like the picture above. I don't freak out if it gets messed up, but I always put a zig zag of mustard down the middle, and usually a line of ketchup down each side of the hot dog. It's weird, but I think it makes it taste better.
4. I've had a lot of pets.
I'm a total animal lover. In my life I've had (and by had, I mean I technically called them mine, not my sisters, and not my family pets)
3 dogs (Susie, Harley, Paco- even though he's more of a family pet)
9 cats (Sabrina, Monica, Tucker, Binky, Julius, Malcom, Jo-Jo, Kylie, & Ely),
1 hamster (Chip),
2 rabbits (Lucky & Beatrix),
1 squirrel (Sammy),
1 gerbil (Mikey),
1 hermit crab, and lots of fish. Not including the temporary turtles and frogs we were always housing.
5. I've actually written a children's story.
I wrote it when I was only just a child myself, I was probably 12 or 13. It's about a leprechaun. I want to get it published one day. I would actually love to write a few more. I should. I will.
So there you have it. Five random confessions about me today.
Do you have anything you want to confess?! :)

Would you like some of my crack?
To being with, my head hurts from trying to remember when these were taken. Then consider that some are 4x6, some are 3x5, and some are 3x3! Oh, and don't forget the senior pictures collected over the years. I've dated about a third of them so far, but I still haven't figured out what I'm going to do with them when they're finally sorted chronologically. I bought some photo storage boxes at Hobby Lobby today, but that seems a bit silly since the idea is to make them more accessible, not less. But at least my storage system will be more uniform if all of the random pictures go into boxes.
Has anyone else done something this ridiculous? Any ideas?

HA HA and yeah I want some your crack!
I over the years have thought about this project but no way in heck am I about to do it.
I'm happy that they are in at least rubbermaids spread throughout our garage...because then I can't see them!
We should have all been born in the digital age where we don't actually have hard copies of our photos.
I think that TV interview might have cooked some brain cells.
But when you do figure out a system let me know and I'll hire you to do mine.

scanning... couple years ago, I spent 3 days in my grandparents' apartment scanning their old photos. Time consuming, but you could set up a spot in the house and do it whenever you can snatch a few minutes.
I did this because my grandparents were threatening to throw everything out. I cant imagine, though, doing this with my own photos and then throwing the hard copies away. But maybe, if you put the ones you really wanted in one pile, you could part with the others.
And some day, your kiddos will think you were the hippest most technologically advanced mom ever!
My crack-induced project of the week? I don't like my wedding stole. So I'm making a new one. What?!? between the two year old, the incessant parade of weekend youth and children's ministry kick off events, and the constant struggle to keep my house from tipping over the edge into insanity, do I really have the time for this?

I got the thought that I was going to do this -- put together all the loose pictures that were in shoe boxes no less -- and put them into (wait for it) SCRAPBOOKS with cute papers and decorations and labels...
THAT was some bad crack if ever I had any.
So now, I have a ratty, mish-mashed scrapbook of assorted Crack Crap, AND three shoeboxes full of assorted pictures from my childhood and youth and even college years -- hey, is that a picture of Jay Bernheisel???
Bed crack. Back to sewing.

I still haven't done my wedding album (April 2003) but I have all the elements in a box. does that count? I do have all my own photos from elementary school on, in order, in those photo boxes. Not very accessible, but safe and organized. sorta.

Stop Funding Dangerous Programs
For Immediate Release: Jan. 30, 2014
Senate Committee Denies Added Funds for Abstinence-Only Programs; Vote Shows Support for the Health and Safety of America's Teens
WASHINGTON, DC — Yesterday Senate Appropriations Committee members showed they valued the health and safety of America's teens by refusing to dramatically increase funding for abstinence-only-until-marriage programs. Abstinence-only programs deny teenagers medically accurate information about birth control and about preventing sexually transmitted infections. Studies have shown that teens who participate in abstinence-only programs are less likely to use contraception when they become sexually active than peers who receive medically accurate sex education.
"Congressional funding for abstinence-only programs wastes taxpayer money on programs that don't work and endanger teens," said PPFA Vice President for Public Policy Stephenie Foster. "American families deserve education programs that will keep their teens safe — programs that include information about abstinence as well as contraception, healthy communication, responsible decision making, and prevention of sexually transmitted infections."
In the last decade, more than $1 billion has been spent on ineffective and inaccurate abstinence-only programs. Planned Parenthood, along with other national, state, and local organizations that care about our nation's teens, sent a letter to Congress opposing further funding for abstinence-only-until-marriage programs.

It's very exciting to be surrounded by other integrative health care practitioners along with the Welltopia Pharmacy, here at the Thiensville Health Alliance building. We are looking forward to working with you in achieving all your health concerns for balancing body, mind and spirit!
My approach is not one-size-fits-all. I believe tailor-made bodywork will suit your health care needs! You get one body in this life, so lets work together to restore and maintain a healthy balance- pain free -with a relaxing mind set. Check out the entire website to read more info about how I may help you.
I became a board certified massage therapist thru the NCBTMB in 2011. I understand therapeutic massage to work with chronic or acute pain issues with the mindset of pain free pain management. I am more compelled to use a conservative approach to my work. In the massage session, I may sense how your body responds when given the opportunity to be in a calm and restful environment. Dynamic cupping, vibrational healing with the use of tuning forks, craniosacral therapy (Upledger Institute), Reiki, along with the use of hot stones, Bach Flower remedies, and/or aromatherapy may also be incorporated in each session to benefit the body in the healing process. My passion is to have an understanding how nutrition and nature work together to gain a deeper health balance. I believe the body can heal if given the proper understanding of care and nutrition.
I am certified as a natural health professional thru Trinity College as well as naturopathy, and digestive specialist thru Loomis Institute. If you prefer not to remove clothing, I recommend craniosacral therapy or Reiki (energy infusion therapy) to assist the body in gaining the balance it needs for healing. Relaxation is guaranteed with each and every session. YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS!
Remember, healing is very individual and personal. I believe in getting to the root cause of dis-ease. Together, along with a plan of action as a tool to guide, educate, and empower you to feel your best along with encouraging you to take accountability for your well being.
If so, it is time to set up an appointment with me. You can call or text. You will get a call back to set up your appointment, and also answer any questions or concerns you might have.
Thanks for visiting and have a great day!

"Thumbs Down" Not a Sundays but still fun.
So, we have 48 hours to make these films every year for Mofest http://www.facebook.com/mofestcommunity. We are given a genre, line of dialogue and a prop that have to be used somewhere within the film. That being said, it only makes sense that our film turned out to be a gripping story of a young man coming up through the ranks in the cut throat world of Mike Tyson's Punch Out. Please keep in mind that the film was conceived, shot, edited and delivered in 48 hours (which would explain why the credits are just a #hashtag) Behind the scenes photos

How can I watch it on my computer?
By Charles Miller
This morning I received an urgent email from an Atención reader: "The opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Sochi start in a few minutes. How can I watch it on my computer?" Obviously, by the time this column goes to press it will be way too late for anyone to tune in to watch what was a very impressive show from Sochi, however; the response I emailed to this reader might be still helpful to anyone wanting to watch the XXXI Olympics from Rio de Janiero in 2016.
The place to start your quest to find a site on which you can watch the Olympics, or for that matter any other event, is to go to a search engine such as Google. You will need to know a "key word" and in this case the word is "streaming." I entered a search for "Sochi Olympics streaming" (without the quotes) and almost instantly was presented 200 million hits.
Following some of the links on the Google search results page I learned that in the United States that NBC (the National Broadcasting Company) owns the television rights to this year's Olympics. NBC has jumped on the livestreaming bandwagon and live video stream is available on their web site NBCOlympics.com. Viewers are required to have a cable or satellite service with Comcast. Subscription login information is verified and gain access, but even unverified users still get a 30-minute sample.
Depending on your scruples, if you know someone in the states who has a Comcast cable-TV username and password and is willing to share, you could try using their account. This is a violation of NBC's terms of service and probably the rules of the cable company too, but that does not seem to stop some people from doing this anyway.
Both the BBC and the CBC plan to make a lot of live Olympic television coverage available for viewing on their web sites. Both the British and Canadian Broadcasting Corporations make streaming video available on the web without requiring viewers to prove they have local cable television service. A possible snag here is that if you are not one of Her Majesty's taxpayers, the video stream may be blocked unless you use a VPN to mask your IP address. Broadcasters in many other countries offer live streams online, look for them in the Google search results.
Sochi, Russia is located ten hours ahead of the Central Mexico time zone so you probably do not want to watch events live anyway. For this reason the television networks owning the broadcast rights to the Olympics are broadcasting almost everything on a delayed basis. If you are going to be watching on this delayed basis anyway, then you should try logging onto the International Olympic Committee's official video site at www.youtube.com/user/olympic. Even if the IOC does not post the video you want to see, it is very likely that other contributors will upload videos to YouTube. These may not be available for long as unauthorized uploads can be taken down at the request of the copyright owners.
Strict rules and broadcast deals are supposed to limit alternatives for watching the Sochi Olympics. On one level, it's understandable that NBC would seek to control their broadcasts, after all they paid US$4.3 billion for the exclusive broadcast rights for the USA and they need to maximize return on that investment and be able to continue providing such coverage in the future. On the other hand, earlier this month the FOX network made its live stream of the NFL Super Bowl available on their web site for free. Their apparent logic is that whether viewers are watching the game for free via television broadcast or via internet streaming, viewers are still seeing the same ads. The latter seems to me to be a more 21st-century approach to television broadcasting.
