A Reduced Basis Method for Evolution Schemes with Parameter-Dependent Explicit Operators
During the last decades, reduced basis (RB) methods have been developed to a wide methodology for model reduction of problems that are governed by parametrized partial differential equations (PPDEs). In particular equations of elliptic and parabolic type for linear, low polynomial or monotonic nonlinearities have been treated successfully by RB methods using finite element schemes. Due to the characteristic offline-online decomposition, the reduced models often become suitable for a multi-query or real-time setting, where simulation results, such as field-variables or output estimates, can be approximated reliably and rapidly for varying parameters. In the current study, we address a certain class of time-dependent evolution schemes with explicit discretization operators that are arbitrarily parameter dependent. We extend the RB-methodology to these cases by applying the {\em empirical interpolation} method to localized discretization operators. The main technical ingredients are: (i) generation of a collateral reduced basis modelling the effects of the discretization operator under parameter variations in the offline-phase and (ii) an online simulation scheme based on a numerical subgrid and localized evaluations of the evolution operator. We formulate an a-posteriori error estimator for quantification of the resulting reduced simulation error. Numerical experiments on a parametrized convection problem, discretized with a finite volume scheme, demonstrate the applicability of the model reduction technique. We obtain a parametrized reduced model, which enables parameter variation with fast simulation response. We quantify the computational gain with respect to the non- reduced model and investigate the error convergence.

Procrustes was a bandit who attacked travellers in Attica. He tied them to a bed, then 'altered' them to fit it. If they were too short he would stretch them, and if they were too tall he would amputate their legs. Procrustes was eventually stopped by the hero Theseus, who punished him with the same treatment he had given others by 'fitting' him to his own bed. Procrustes was too long, so Theseus cut off his legs and decapitated him. This was Theseus' last heroic feat in his list of adventures as he travelled from Troezen to Athens. Other bandits Theseus killed include Sinis, who tore his victims apart by tying them to two bent pine trees and then releasing them, and Sciron, who forced travellers to wash his feet and then kicked them off the cliff. Theseus killed these bandits in the same manner in which they killed others.
Despite this myth not having anything to do with Daedalus, this reference to Theseus' story does link back to the mythical artisan. Theseus was the hero who would eventually conquer Daedalus' carefully designed labyrinth using only a ball of string. This is sometimes interpreted as a lesson in humility.

"At a time, when I notice more and more people, both men and women, opening to embrace feminine energy in their lives, not just for their own personal benefit, but because the planet is crying out for it, Amanda has created a resource that is a clear, practical and easy to follow guide, showing women how to step into our true power through allowing and experiencing pleasure.
Amanda touched my life recently when she introduced me to the practice of OP-ing. Within a few short weeks, I am experiencing the benefits! I feel even more confident in my own skin, and, of my goddess given birthright to live a truly joy and pleasure filled life.
In her book, Amanda explains, how, as we focus on pleasure and increasing our vibration, moving up the positive energy spiral, any feelings of unworthiness, shame or other negative energies, often simply evaporate because they do not match our new energetic state. She offers easy-to-follow practices to support us to access orgasmic energy on a daily basis, so empowering us with the tools to succeed, aligned in our feminine, in both our businesses and the fullness of our lives.
It is exciting to me, to read a book that talks about orgasm and business in the same sentence! Thank you for sharing your knowing in such an gorgeous and accessible way Amanda." Catherine Tapponnier, www.magicalyou.co.uk
Amanda Goldston has written an engaging, easy to read book that has something for all women. She has certainly opened my eyes to the energetic benefits of orgasms, and I since reading her book, I find I have a far more playful attitude to including orgasmic energy in my life. Sue M Coventry.
"In this book Amanda shares how she harnessed her feminine energies to spiral her personal success and prosperity upwards – and how you can do the same. You may need an open mind to explore her 'orgasmic' instruction but as you read the book you will sense her 'wicked' sense of humour and almost hear her 'raucous cackle'. If you are new to energy this book will help you understand the main energy centres of the body and how they correspond to colour and your personal power. Amanda's messages are simple – value yourself more, let go of guilt, be more open to receive and say yes to things you truly desire. Everything is the energy of pleasure – treat yourself like the Queen that you are!"

Ever since The Orb's first album The Orb's Adventures Beyond The Ultraworld you could almost feel that somewhere down the line this collaboration would take place. The Orb have always added dub themes to their music to add to the blissful wholeness of the dance experience and to get the people on the floor swaying in a technicolour other world of their own. On this album you get The Orb at their dubby best with one of the masters of the scene."Ball of Fire" literally kicks in the album with a big heavy bang where the bass and drums hang low under a grinding rhythm. Lee Perry's vocals are suitably laid back over the pounding happening underneath him; then suddenly some blissed out Orb synth takes you somewhere else. "H.O.O" has a more house feel to it with a spacious sound that clicks along under some 'visitor' style lyrics from Perry. "Man in the Moon" is back too the deep bass sound which The Orb do so well. Alien synth patterns tweet over thundering drum rhtyms and the vocals start to get very spacey as the echo hits the cosmos. This is followed by another bass heavy monolith, "Soulman," and after a drifting opening with some excellent Perry vocals the track begins to take off like a dub version of Sun Ra visiting Venus. Here again the use of echo becomes paramount to give the piece quite an ethereal feel. "Golden Clouds" nods its head towards The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" by using its riff and builds into a psychedelic drifting wonderland of dancing sunsets and multi-coloured otherness. "Hold Me Upsetter" has a James Brown-style funk riff that slides along underneath some laid back bass and keeps a solid groove bubbling under Perry's vocals. "Go Down Evil" features a grinding synth arpeggio before the big beat smacks in to take the track into more of a trance territory than has been previously heard so far, and this track has more of an early 90s early morning feel. "Thirsty" is another funky track picking up more of a 70s vibe but still adding enough of the dub to remove it from the norm and into its own sonic space. Perry delivers a fantastic dubwise vocal over the heavy spacious bass and drums of "Police and Thieves" while The Orb's keyboards trickle and wobble over the top of this monster; the last two minutes of this are sublime. "Ashes" has what sounds like plucked instruments over an electronic beat for a track that feels like a short interlude before the final number. "Congo" starts as a heavenly synth drift before African-style rhythms begin to take over and push the track forward in a pounding of drums that carries its up river momentum until the end.
This album gets released on a double vinyl set and would be fantastic to hear all warm and analogue sounding. Here, yet again, The Orb push the boundaries of what they do and create their own universe within the grooves of the album. Perry's performances are marvellous and the album takes you into the deep thud of the beyond.

Keeping up with the equipment needs of the medical profession can be a daunting task for any budget manager especially when added to that is the need to keep existing equipment properly maintained so that it is reliable and effective. To make their budgeting easier, some budget managers use their maintenance providers for more than just providing routine maintenance to their existing equipment; they take full advantage of that company's services. These services may include the repairing of equipment. Obviously getting an expensive piece of equipment services is far cheaper than replacing it, provided of course that those repairs meet all the required criteria and are certified as such. Many medical maintenance companies also carry repairs to equipment and can at least offer that service but as some of their customers prefer to replace faulty equipment, they often have equipment which they have repaired, for resale. There is quite substantial refurbished medical equipment 2015 available and not all of it has needed repairs, some of it may be available simply because a medical facility wanted to upgrade or replace their existing equipment. Not only may the company have used medical equipment available for sale, which of course would be at a lower price than brand new equipment but, they may also provide a trade in service, reducing the cost of equipment even more. Some medical maintenance companies may even offer some of this equipment on a lease basis. If they do that may well assist any budget manager's juggling of funds and allow them to provide their medical professionals with even more equipment than they otherwise could have.
Obviously regardless of how good a medical professional may be, they are often limited by the amount of equipment that they have available for their use. This means that even if a doctor is perfectly capable of dealing with a patient's problem, they may still have to refer them to a colleague as they do not have the equipment to deal with the problem themselves. Some of the top, expensive hospitals, regularly update their equipment, especially if there are newer more up to date versions available and so, even though their current equipment may be perfectly serviceable, they replace it. This means that sometimes there is perfectly good, yet used medical equipment available for resale.
Keeping up with the equipment needs of the medical profession is always a challenge especially when you consider the limited budget which is all that is available. Obviously keeping existing equipment working properly is one of the best ways of reducing costs as maintenance, although still costing money, is cheaper than having to pay for repairs or replacements. This means that any medical equipment budget manager will already know a company that deals with the maintenance of medical equipment to required standards and so it is merely often only a case of exploring all that those companies can offer in way of services. If you r current maintenance company only deals with routine maintenance, perhaps it is time you reviewed other companies.

Wine Experience day in Saint-Emilion at Château Coutet
We spent a fantastic week-end learning what it's like to be a winemaker in Saint-Emilion during the Gourmet Odyssey Discovery Experience Days at Château Coutet. The vines are growing at a frantic pace at the moment, and as we were to find out, there is much to be done in the vineyard to try and produce the best possible grapes for the harvest.
On Saturday, we were accompanied by Alain and Juliette, and by Adrien on Sunday. All three of them are incredibly passionate about their work and the winery, and the days started with a brief introduction to the winery's 400 year history, during which time the winery has always been organic.
We then headed into the vineyard to be brought up to speed on the work carried out in the vineyard since last year's harvest to prune, de-bud and attach the vines to the training wires, as well as the way the soil is worked.
As we made our way up towards the Saint-Emilion plateau, we saw the change in the soil, and the identified the different grape varietals by the different shaped leaves. We passed a plot that had been planted with sunflowers and has now been left fallow to regenerate the nutrients in the soil before it will be planted with vines. As with everything, the winery looks to nature to maintain the equilibrium of the biodiversity.
We stopped at a terrace of cabernet franc vines just below the plateau. The grapes have now formed on the vines and will reach their full size in the next couple of weeks. The flowering went particularly well this year, so the vines are well laden with fruit. The grapes will mature over the next couple of months as the sugar levels increase. One of the risks that the vines face is rot, especially so if the conditions are hot and humid. To help protect the vines, some of the leaves are removed from around the grapes to improve the air flow around them, making it quicker for the air to dry them after any rainfall.
To get a better idea of just what is involved in removing the leaves, after receiving our instructions, we had a go ourselves. The vines we were working on were planted North to South. We removed the leaves just from the East facing side of the rows, keeping the leaves on the West facing side in place to protect the grapes from being burnt by the stronger afternoon sun.
On the plateau we passed the plot of vines that are worked by horse and used in the making of the winery's famous Emeri and Les Desmoiselles wines, before arriving at the Peycocut vineyard where our adopted vines are to be found.
As we admired the wonderful views across to Saint-Emilion and the neighbouring Grand Cru Classé vineyards, we took a few minutes to visit our adopted vines and immortalise the moment with a few photos!
After this full morning, we returned to the garden in front of the château for a well-earned aperitif. A nicely chilled clairet rosé wine was awaiting us before we sat down to a lunch that was prepared in the château by a local caterer. During the different courses, we tasted 4 different vintages of the winery's Saint Emilion Grand Cru wine, learning about the four different years, and seeing how the wine changes over time.
We started the afternoon with a look at the Vitirover robot that has been developed at the winery. This solar powered buggy linked to GPS and equipped with cutters roams in a pre-defined area of vines, cutting the difficult to reach grass and weeds that grow around the vine trunks!
The harvest is fast approaching, and so we learnt about what is left to do in the vineyard and how the winemakers will choose the moment of the harvest.
We then entered the fermentation hall where the grapes will be received at harvest time, and where they will then macerate and ferment in the vats.
We marvelled at the cellar containing the old vintage bottles, everyone trying to see if there were any bottles left from their birth year or other notable vintages.
The day then finished in the barrel room where the wines are aged for around 18 months before being ready for bottling. We'll be spending more time in here during the Vinification Experience Days at the start of next year. Before then we'll be back in September to participate in the harvest and see how our grapes have matured over the summer!

So I've opted to actually do something for the next month. NaNoWriMo. It's some form of nanananapoopoo, I did something you didn't do.
At least that's what I keep singing in my head this lovely Sunday. I figured I needed something to motivate me into actually doing something. If not there'd be another colossal failure to shove back into the closet.
I'm awesome at the short and brief and master of the unfinished. A god of the half starts. So taking this challenge on in November will be quite interesting. It will be an absolute terrible piece of work; I have no flipping clue on how to even begin a novel, let alone outline a story or even draft a character study. Will these people in my lines and lines of text even need names?
I guess only time will tell. Bring it November.

I realize linking to last year's edition is phenomenally lazy of me, but really, most of the points don't change from year to year. The crucial difference - at least for me - is that I don't have to watch from the sidelines, and I can go into that hyper-social mode I only seem to access once a year, right around BCon time. Funny how that happens...
What will also remain the same is that Confessions will be a blog-free zone while I'm at BCon (though once I return, and survive Yom Kippur, expect lots and lots of posts.) And something tells me that other folks may not adopt the same stance. And for those who take a picture and need to upload those pictures right that second (and don't have their own Flickr account) The gateway email address I set up last year that will allow for easy uploading of photos to the Bouchercon Flickr site is still valid. The email address is: even17way AT photos DOT flickr DOT com. So store them in your contact lists, cameraphones or whatever you want to use to make your pics available to the public.
What does bear repeating every single year is this: The first ten minutes spent on Bouchercon waters will be confusing, fright-inducing and otherwise weird. And then you will meet someone you know -- probably in and around the hotel bar -- and everything will take care of itself. It always does.
See you in Madison!

Come back every Wednesday for another funny, informative video documenting my inept food adventures. In Locals Know, I explore a new city through the tours of Urban Adventures.
After the beautiful island of Mallorca, I continued to stick by the water and explored the canals of Venice. If you've ever been to Venice, you know it is an absolutely breathtaking city but it's also full of tourists. The streets and canals are lined with visitors and it seems like there are no locals in site. Do people actually live in Venice?
Sure enough they do and the way to get the real culture of the city is to go through the back alleys and hang out in bacari – traditional bars that serve small bites with wine. Those small bites are called cicchetti. And the Cicchetti & Wine tour with Urban Adventures is one of the best things you could do in Venice. You do get to explore the canals a bit (riding a traditional traghetto), learn about the traditions in Venice, and sample food and wine from five local bars.

Monches Goes Native!
We've re-organized our native plant section at The Farm and have a fine selection of native prairie plants to choose from right now. These plants are adapted to our Wisconsin climate and soil conditions and thrive with less pampering than most garden perennials.
Adding them to your garden now will give them the opportunity to get their roots established this season and get them off to a strong start next spring.
Especially nice right now are specimens of:
Bottle Gentian (Gentiana andrewsii ) – Called "Closed" or "Bottle" Gentian because the blue flowers, borne in clusters on 24" stems in late summer, appear closed or bud-like even at maturity. A moist prairie native.
Vervain (Verbena hastata ) – Narrow spires of blue flowers rise atop 48"-60" stems in summer. Native to wet prairies, stream banks and marshes.
Golden Alexander (Zizia aurea ) – Yellow flower clusters on 36" stems in early summer over glossy divided foliage. Native to moist prairies and along streams.
Ironweed (Vernonia) – Named for its hardy constitution, this plant bears showy clusters of violet-purple flowers on very tall 4'-6' stems in late summer.
Leadplant (Amorpha canescens) – A dry prairie plant with attractive narrow leaflets on shrubby stems to 36" tall. Dense purple-violet flower stalks in late spring/early summer. Needs to be established as a young plant as it forms a deep taproot that gives it great drought tolerance.
False Indigo (Baptisia) – This fabulous garden performer has been named the "Perennial Plant of the Year" for 2010 by the National Perennial Plant Association. It bears pea-like blue flowers in spring and forms a shrub-like presence in the garden, remaining attractive all season. The flowers are followed by black seed heads that can be left on the plant for winter interest. Baptisia forms a deep taproot once established so is highly drought tolerant.
Prairie Bush Clover (Lespedeza) - Silvery leaflets adorn slender stems 4'-5' tall. Dense, rounded heads of creamy white flowers in late summer. A dry prairie native that prefers well drained, sandy soil.
Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis) – Spires of true cardinal-red flowers in summer. Native to stream banks and moist prairie areas. We also have Great Blue Lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), which is a reliable garden performer in regular garden soil.
Prairie Blazing Star or Gayfeather (Liatris) – We have a number of species available, most of which are native to dry prairie areas. All produce stunning spires of purple flowers that the butterflies ADORE.
Butterfly Weed (Asclepias) – This genus is the sole food source for the immature Monarch Butterfly, so establishing some in your garden is very beneficial to these beautiful creatures. Pink flowering Marsh Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is a vigorous grower that thrives in moist soil. Orange flowering Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) is slower to increase and requires sandy or fast draining soil. By special request, we even have a few pots this year of regular ol' "Milkweed" (Asclepias syriaca) that we would only recommend planting in a naturized area as it is a colonizer.
Wild Petunia (Ruellia humilis) – Lavender colored tubular flowers, often penciled with darker purple lines on trailing 12"-18" stems in late summer. A beautiful plant that is native to the dry prairie. Late to break dormancy in spring, so mark the spot.
Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium yuccifolium ) – Bold strap-like leaves resemble Yucca, hence the common name. Chartreuse to white ball-like flower heads on sturdy stems rising 36"-48" above foliage. Native to prairies and open savannas.
Mountain Mint (Pycnanthemum ) – Highly fragrant, minty-scented foliage was used traditionally as a flavoring and medicinally. Flowers in late summer on the ends of upright 24"-36" stems. An adaptable plant found in both wet and dry prairie areas.
Showy Goldenrod (Solidago speciosa) – Yes, there are aggressive Goldenrods but this one is well-behaved, beautiful and garden worthy. Masses of elongated cylindrical clusters of bright yellow flowers in autumn on unbranched 24"-48" stems. Combines beautifully with fall Asters and prairie grasses. Dry prairie native.
Wild Senna (Cassia marilandica) – Attractive foliage plant with delicate leaflets and yellow flower clusters on tall 5'-6' plants. Native to Midwestern prairie lands in moist areas.
Turtlehead (Chelone ) – Upright stems of narrow glossy leaves topped with clusters of turtle-head shaped flowers in autumn. Chelone glabra bears white flowers while Chelone lyonii bears pink flowers. Both thrive in moist soil.

(JNS.org) Six Arab Israeli citizens were indicted Thursday for smuggling explosives from Lebanon into Israel in cooperation with a Hezbollah plot to plant bombs in the Haifa area, the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) said.
The Shin Bet, Israel Police and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) arrested in September several residents of the Alawite village of Ghajar, on the Israeli-Lebanon border, for assisting the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah in a terror plot by using drug smuggling routes to transfer explosives.
After discovering explosives hid near the Lebanon border, an investigation revealed that village residents, led by Diab Sa'ad Jamil Kahamuz, were in contact with Hezbollah and assisted them in smuggling and gathering intelligence in Israel.
Earlier this year, Diab Kahamuz was in contact with his father, Sa'ad Kahamuz, a drug trafficker from Ghajar, who fled to Lebanon in October 2006 and is known for assisting Hezbollah activities, according to Shin Bet. The elder Kahamuz was a liaison between Hezbollah and his family members in Ghajar. Hezbollah had the son, Diab and his brothers, carry out a terror attack in Haifa. They had planned to target a bus stop at a junction soldiers frequently use to travel to their bases.
Drug smuggling routes from Lebanon into Israel are increasingly being used to infiltrate war material, the Shin Bet said.

HACCP or Hazards Analysis Critical Control Points is a mandatory food safety requirement under UK and EU legislation.
When HACCP is used as a food safety management system a business can be saved from delivering below legislative standards, it maintains good working practices and minimises the risks to staff, visitors and customers of any food manufacturing, processing or retailing business.
By investing in HACCP training you'll find that the course fees are paid for time after time in their practical application of HACCP principles and skills learned.
HACCP usage is instantly recognisable and it is evidence that active compliance, HACCP training and an HACCP plan are in place.
HACCP is used for audit purposes and during Food Standards Agency/local authority inspections.
HACCP training advisors including the established experts at Food Alert can offer assistance and monitor your HACCP plan and instruct you how to maintain accurate records.
Level 2 training equates to GCSE grades A*-C and level 3 is AS/A level and quite apart from the benefit to current employers they are an excellent personal attribute to list on a curriculum vita. Courses can also be personalised to your business.
The level 2 HACCP training course normally covers the following:
- The HACCP food safety management system.
- Risk awareness.
- The purpose and benefits of the HACCP training.
- Use of the HACCP food safety management system training in a food environment.
- The seven principles of HACCP.
- The ability to identify HACCP procedures.
- Food hygiene.
- Assessing critical control points.
- Contamination and its numerous sources.
- Control methods to prevent contamination.
- How to reduce or entirely eliminate risks.
- Workplace and food safety employee competency.
- Hazards recognition, critical control points and how to initiate corrective actions at all levels of employment. An HACCP plan is integral to this.
At the end of the HACCP training there is an examination. As you may expect only the candidates who pass are rewarded with a certificate.
Management, business owners, supervisors and team leaders are encouraged to progress to the level 3 HACCP training course which further increases food safety management system training and knowledge to be applied in the workplace.
After the HACCP training an examination is again taken. Successful candidates will be awarded a certificate and will have an AS/A level equivalent qualification.
When you have the knowledge and an HACCP plan working effectively in your food environment you won't have to fear the dreaded visit from a health and safety auditor or your Food Hygiene Ratings Scheme score.
By following HACCP principles you will be adhering to legislation and instead of greeting an official with butterflies in the stomach and a sense of doom you can smile, shake their hand and welcome them in to your comprehensively managed, hygienic and positively impacting operation.
Contact a professional HACCP training firm today and harness the power of safety management system training.
Be the best business that you can imagine.

text: I need ot have the rook repaired where my main dish is located - I think its a 1000 of some variety - 110, 118, and 119 if I remember. The 129 is a sep. dish. So the roof guy need to take it off, then put a new rubber layer under, then replace the dish. He said he'd use the same holes. I doubt if it will wok after that, right? If that is the case, should I schedule a tech to align it now, or wait and see? The schedule is sometime tomorrow that area will be done. Should I just call now for an alignment. I'd rather not loose service for Thursday nigh, with the NCAA going on and all. Then is this covered under the $6 protection plan?

I remember being pregnant with my first son and everyone who had had kids would tell me that they grow up so fast. My response was always, "Yeah, I know." But honestly, I didn't expect it to go this fast. Then came my second son and I had a better grasp on how fast they grow and yet it still amazes me. Four years ago my world got a whole lot brighter. Deacon Christopher came into this world. Deacon's eyes light up a room. There is something about this boy, this little gift from God. Since the moment he could speak he's kept us laughing. He beats to his own drum. It doesn't matter to him what other's like, he likes what he likes and that's that. He's observant, he's comical, and a bit clumsy. If you ask him how many left feet he has, he'll tell you "two." He's as friendly as can be…our friend's refer to him as "The Mayor."
I took him to get his pinata yesterday and he told the girl he could show her where they were so she can get it down for him, "After all I am four now," he tells her. Four years old. I can't believe it. I just want to hold onto him for dear life. I hope he always wants to be my cooking assistant, my gardener, and my handsome knight coming to rescue his queen. He gives great big hugs just like his dad. I love you Deacon Christopher…more than all the sand in the sea. Happy Birthday.


text: originally posted by srini: "Since you changed your alloys & tyres could you not have upgraded to 15 inches? Any particular reason for not opting? " HI SRINI,I opted for 14" primarily for 3 reasons----- 1)Wanted better protection for alloys on bad road conditions. 2)Didnot want to sacrifice even an mm of ground clearence. 3)Preferred more comfort (particularly in bad road condition) over better handling.(TOUCHED 110 kmph ONCE AND FOUND HANDLING NOT AT ALL BAD. YES 15" WOULD DEFINITELY BE BETTER IN THIS FRONT) 14" gives me the scope for using higher profile tyres.And I achieved all the three goals with 195/70 14.

Centrisys Corporation, a leading North American manufacturer of dewatering and thickening centrifuges, announced today that it has been named a winner of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Nutrient Recycling Challenge. The competition challenges companies worldwide to develop technological advancements that recycle nutrients from livestock manure more effectively. The recognition further solidifies Centrisys' place as a global market leader in manure management solutions.
Livestock producers manage over once billion tons of animal manure annually in the United States. Recognizing the need to accelerate products that address more effective management of this issue, the EPA created the Nutrient Recycling Challenge. Out of 75 submissions from companies worldwide, 34 were chosen to continue on to the design phase, and the Centrisys team was ranked as one of the top four winners. Read Full Article (PDF)

About Me
Thanks for checking out my blog! Here is a quick video with some interesting facts about me.
I am a constant positive thinker that believes in the power of mindset and positive thinking. I live by the law of attraction and I have seen it work in my life everyday. This blog was originally inspired during a time when I was completing a 60 day Bikram Yoga Challenge and I wanted to journal about my journey. I wasn't always the person I am today. There has definitely been an evolution within myself and around me that has taken place over the years. My husband, Michael has witnessed this amazing transformation that is still ongoing. (I believe you should always be stretching yourself to be better.)
I am a child of middle class immigrant Korean parents who instilled me incredible work ethic and a discipline to achieve anything I set my mind on. The flip side is that it wasn't the best childhood (I will leave it at that to spare my family). I never exercised through out my childhood or adolescence , it wasn't until late in my college years that I embarked into the world of healthiness.
Fast forward to my late 20s, I ran the 2004 NYC Marathon and then the 2009 Marine Corps Marathon (After having 2 kids mind you and beating my original time). I became a crazy fitness person and also started incorporating not just healthy eating but holistic eating..(eating foods not processed and out of packages) —> Mind you I am a human being… everyone that knows me personally knows I LOVE to eat sweets and all that "fun" food that isn't necessarily the best for you. I live by the rule
Everything in Moderation, Even Moderation
I found Bikram Yoga Richmond in September of 2010 and it was love at first sight for me (workout wise). It was the first workout that truly incorporated my mind, body, and spirit and it truly healed me over time in more ways than I can explain. I know that I wouldn't be the person today without Bikram Yoga. I go through my spurts of attending class daily and sometimes twice a day and then going spurts without going to class but I always come back home to Bikram Yoga.
I have been through my share of heart ache and disappointment like most people in the world, but what I see now so clearly is that all the things in my past have brought me to the point where I am today. I know I was put on this earth to help others and be an example. I know that I can mentor and inspire others to follow their dreams and also help them discover what it is exactly makes them HAPPY.
All this came about because my husband decided to join a online network marketing company. I didn't really understand what it was all about until I went with him to Denver, CO this July to one of their company events. I was able to see then, why he was so excited and the amazing possibilities that would be open to us, if we weren't scared and went for it… as they like to say TAKE MASSIVE ACTION. I am sure many of you reading this will think it is some pyramid scam of some sort, when in actuality it is just a network marketing company that sells a viral blogging platform and AMAZING marketing training tools that will help you to monetize your blog —> Underneath it all, it really is an opportunity to understand who you are at the core and develop and hone those talents so that you can help others.
After coming back from Denver, I realized that I needed to reconnect with my blog and what I really wanted for myself and two beautiful children, Clover and Sebastian:
I know my life purpose is NOT to work at a corporate sales job till I am 65 and then retire (probably not be able to retire). I want to be at home with my kids and travel and work remotely from anywhere we decide to live. This vision is now a reality in the making.
I am laser focused at changing my life and transitioning out of the status quo… I know there are others that are wanting to take this bold step but scared. That is why I am blogging… to show you how I am doing this, to share with you tips and advice on living the best life you can live. To help you have a mind shift so that you can have a life shift.

Natural Remedies: How Do They Compare?
How do natural remedies compare to prescription drugs? All-natural and herbal treatments are generally produced from living vegetation. In the event you have consumed a nutritional supplement it's likely you have observed the flavor prior to swallowing. It tastes similar to soil vegetation, foliage and so forth. This is mainly because it is. There aren't any chemical substances included.
Natural remedies don't modify hormone stability, alter chemical amounts in the brain or fool the body. The reason why? For the reason that herbal treatments consist of particular qualities that are supposed to manage functions of the body to enhance recovery as well as wellness. They aren't man made or synthetic, there're merely within the earth and so are here to assist with conditions that we encounter.
Herbs really are a healthy replacement for prescribed drugs. Individuals have been making use of plants and herbs as treatments ever since the dawn existence. Pharmaceuticals certainly are a relatively brand new principle with regards to the last hundred years.
Trouble associated with infertility, psychological ailments, organ difficulty, brain functionality, pain, rheumatoid arthritis, amongst a great number of others have all been encountered since formation. These types of health concerns are certainly not new. For centuries these problems happen to be repaired and remedied by natural treatments.
To make believe that as though natural treatments are unimportant and do not necessarily perform is ridiculous. Someone that feels this way can be viewed as significantly unknowing and should take into account in becoming a bit more qualified. Over the last hundred or so years researchers have attempted to replicate natural treatments by means of chemical substance and hormonal components.
The idea for their research all started with herbal solutions and just how they performed. But rather than utilizing the heart and soul (organic components) inside medicinal plants and herbs they commenced developing man made elements.
The full part of prescribed drugs and natural cures is quite complicated in terms that many people might not understand. I hope this information has been of outside assistance breaking it down into basic steps that a lot can easily understand.

In chapter twelve of William Golding's Lord of the Flies, why must Ralph be killed?
- print Print
- list Cite
In the final chapter of Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, every boy on the island--except for Ralph--is now part of Jack's tribe. The last two to join were Samneric; though they would rather have stayed with Ralph, they are forced to join at spear-point.
Everything on the island changes when Piggy is murdered and the conch is destroyed. As the twins are coerced into the tribe of savages, Ralph begins running for his life. Later the twins tell Ralph that he is being hunted, and we will hear Jack give specific orders for his tribe to kill Ralph. In addition to that, though, Ralph instinctively understands that Jack needs to kill him.
As he reasons with himself, hoping that this is all just a misunderstanding, Ralph finally admits the truth:
He argued unconvincingly that they would let him alone, perhaps even make an outlaw of him. But then the fatal unreasoning knowledge came to him again. The breaking of the conch and the deaths of Piggy and Simon lay over the island like a vapor. These painted savages would go further and further. Then there was that indefinable connection between himself and Jack; who therefore would never let him alone; never.
Ralph has correctly identifies the two reasons why Jack must kill him. First, the unrestrained savagery on this island is only going to get worse, and anything that might impede it (such as Ralph's reasoning) must be destroyed. Second, Jack has held a grudge against Ralph from the first moments they met, when Ralph was elected chief and Jack was not. In his increasing savagery, Jack must ensure that Ralph does not live.
because Jack realises that he cannot have complete power over the island while Ralph is still alive as at anytime Ralphwill always be a threat to his authority

Square Steamer Trunk Side End Table, 23.5″Hx20″W, LUGGAGE BROWN
I have received many compliments since getting this End Table Chest from Amazon.
Built of quality wood veneer, this Steamer Trunk End Table is made to last. This end table/trunk gives an old world charm to your living room. The rich luggage brown finish and metal studs are nice details. This steamer trunk has an antique and distinguished look with a lot of storage space. I personally store video game equipment and dvds inside to keep them in the living room but out of sight. Actual size is 23.5″Hx20″W

Jeanette Lowdon had lived and traveled throughout Africa and Europe for 27 years. After her last entrepreneurial venture—a jewelry-design business in Morocco—she returned to the States, where her sales savvy quickly gained her a Sales Agent position with a San Diego garden Nursery.
She was showing up for work every day, but her heart wasn't in it. Actually, Jeanette had decided on a career change.
"For the past 2 years, I had been a full time student at Grossmont and Cuyamaca Colleges preparing for Grossmont's Occupational Therapy Assistant program. Now, I am on their wait list, but, it is 2 years long. So, the director of the College tole me to find something to do in the medical field while I waited to enter the program."
Jeanette enrolled with the San Diego Metro Region/American Job Center, KRA-operated for the San Diego Workforce Partnership, where Career Agent Tina Nichols suggested she volunteer with a medical facility to gain "field" experience.
"I decided to go to the South metro Career Center and investigate what options were available to me. I attended an orientation and started going to the workshops. I immediately connected with the workshop facilitator's confidence and it gave me hope that I could go through this journey to find a job. I attended more than 9 of Santiago's, workshops and each time I took away something new that I could apply to my goal.
I signed up for the WIA program and – at the California Medical College. I also signed up to volunteer at the Alvarado Hospital. The volunteers are required to work 4 hours a week but I signed up for 16 hours a week. I wanted to make a motivated impression. Knowing this my boss asked me to be a part of the Statewide Emergency Preparedness day just 2 weeks after I stated volunteering at the hospital. This allowed me to be exposed to all the managers at the hospital as all the departments were involved."
While Jeanette was volunteering at Alvarado Hospital, Tina processed the paperwork for her to enroll in a WIA-supported, CMC Insurance and Coding Specialist Program. Within 2 weeks of matriculation, Alvarado offered Jeannette a part-time position in the Telemedicine Department!
"One day my boss asked me to volunteer doing some clerical work for the Telemedicine Department. The manager could see I was very efficient and completely my task quickly. She mentioned that she was looking for a new employer and I said I was looking for a job. I applied on Dec. 10th and during that interviews, they could see that I was attending California Medical College, Grossmont College and volunteering at the hospital. The panel told me they could tell I was motivated to be in the medical field. The tools I was given were starting to pay off. I received a call on Dec 24th from HR offering me the job.
I could have not achieved this goal without the South Metro Career Center. They provided me the tools I needed to succeed an gave me the confidence I needed when I was at my most vulnerable. The bonus of all of this, that what I received was all free and genuinely from the heart. Thank you all for caring about me and my journey."
Tina concluded, "Jeanette's doing great! Attending CMC and working at Alvarado are definitely expanding her industry knowledge—and her resume. She's still intent on OTA training, and is 'delighted" to be well on the path to her career objective."

Validation! Google Wireless planned as data-only VoIP service in late-2013
0. phoneArena posted on 17 Nov 2012, 10:35
Okay, we cant say that we predicted this, given that we just wrote about it yesterday. But, it seems some credit is due for knowing how the minds at Google work. It sounds like the deal between Google and Dish Network is being finalized, and Google is planning to launch a wireless network by late 2013 that will be data-only, using VoIP and data for SMS...

I hope they just dive right into LTE Advanced and just stick it to the carriers in every way. Super exciting if it's true.

So How much do you think an Iphone would cost on Google wireless :)
35. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
This reminds me of that one carrier that did the same with Sprint. Unlimited everything for really cheap, but bill may spike up if calling too much without wifi and need phones that's certified by them.
I hope if we switch over to them, we could still use our phones.

In the '80s, certain wines seemed to exist only as punch lines to jokes about crass taste. One was the sweet German white wine Liebfraumilch (aka Blue Nun), another the sparkling Italian red wine Lambrusco. If these were spoken of at all it was usually in tones of condescension and with a strangled pronunciation. Gee, those commoners sure are dumb. But in the last few years, many of those wines have been rediscovered by a new generation of drinkers grown jaded by the idea that good wine has to be complicated or French or both. Italy is hip with wine enthusiasts right now, and while bad, cloying Lambruscos exist for sure, a good Lambrusco is dry, almost compost-y, and easy on the palate. Drunk chilled, it's a great alfresco treat on a summer's day. 'We weren't much of a wine culture in the '70s -- we were a beer culture, a soda pop culture,' says David Phillips, a sales manager at Astor Wines & Spirits in New York City, which carries 14 different brands. 'Lambrusco broke people into wine, but as tastes matured in the '80s people started to go toward drier wines, just as they went from white Zinfandel to Chardonnay.' But Italy's wine industry has undergone a renaissance in the meantime, and Lambrusco has returned with a vengeance. 'They're no longer just the fizzy quaffing wines of the '70s,' says Phillips, who observes that Lambrusco is particularly popular with college students graduating from vodka. 'You can drink it cold and it's got nice acidity, so it's refreshing -- it doesn't weigh you down like red wines do.'
Three Lovely Bottles of Lambrusco To Try:
1. Lini 910 Lambrusco Rosso
Deep cherry red, with a touch of sugar and nice acidity. Phillips calls it 'liquid crack'really drinkable, and really nice.' $13.99
2. Solo Reggiano, Medici Ermete
A classic Lambrusco, slightly drier than the Lini, with a little earthiness. Great with salami or pizza. $13.99
3. Bocciolo, Ermete
Sweeter on the palate than the Solo Reggiano, with nice frothy bubbles. Try it with a plate of Parmigiano-Reggiano and sun-dried tomatoes. $12.99

I met a cool girl through my part time job. I was scared to ask her out until one of coworkers said he talked to her and she said she'd totally would if I asked. I did at work party and she even set up a plan to get away from people so I could talk to her. She said yes with a smile.
Ever since then though it's been hard setting somethjng up since she went home for winter break. She responded to my text but said she was working but would could most likely the next weekend but had to wait for her schedule. I texted her the next weekend she didn't answer but was working. I haven't heard back since but I don't know what think since she put in so much effort so I could ask her.
Most Helpful Girl
Unfortunately I think somewhere in the interim she has lost interest. If she liked you enough she would make arrangements to see you even if it is in a few weeks. I would pull back, if she likes you she will get in touch to re-ignite things. You have done all you can for now. The ball is in her court.
Can you answer mine?00|00|0
What could have made her lose interest though? I mean like I said she didn't hesitate at all when I asked and made sure we had eachothers numbers. Those are high interest signs. She did most of the work so I could ask.
I'm trying to find yours but it says no questions found?

CW Renews, Flash, Arrow, Supergirl, Legends, Supernatural, Crazy EX-Girlfriend, Jane the Virgin
As has become somewhat a tradition with the CW, it's handed out early renewals to all of it's returning Autumn (Fall) season shows.
That means the DC/Berlantiverse shows return, with The Flash back for Season 4, Arrow Season 6, Supergirl & DC's Legends of Tomorrow for Season 3. Proving once again, you can't keep those Winchester boys down, Supernatural will be back for a historic 13th Season. On the comedy side, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend will return for Season 3, as will Jane the Virgin for a 4th Season.
"Over the past several seasons, The CW has built a schedule of proven performers, from our lineup of DC superheroes, to critically acclaimed comedies, to sci-fi dramas," commented CW president Mark Pedowitz. "Early pickups of these seven series now allow our producers to plan ahead for next season, and gives us a solid base to build on for next season, with original scripted series to roll out all year long."
Underperforming freshman shows Frequency & No Tomorrow haven't made the cut, and also didn't receive back orders for the rest of the first season, which would usually be a stake through the heart of a new series. However, they may not be totally dead in the water, as CW have a new deal with Netflix, which could save them if they becomes popular via streaming. Having said that, Pedowitz added "Unless something extraordinary happened, we had no intention to go beyond 13 [episodes]"… A final decision will be made in May.
No decision has been made on The Originals, The 100, iZombie, and Riverdale yet, as they will air their latest seasons in the next few months.

Mayer Brown has more than 250 lawyers ranked by Chambers worldwide and more than 150 Peer Review Rated lawyers in Martindale Hubbell.
SeminarCompliance in the Wake of the AIFM-Directive
October 1, 2009
In April 2009, the European Commission proposed a directive on alternative investment fund managers (AIFM). However, if the directive comes into force as planned, it will affect not only the managers of alternative investment funds (hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds, infrastructure funds), but also the managers of asset classes that would not typically be viewed as "alternative investments".
In the face of fierce political pressure, fundamental resistance appears futile. To remain idle would mean to forfeit the opportunities that lie in active change management.
Mayer Brown held a seminar on managing the changes caused by recent and upcoming fund regulation. Acting now, during the transitional period, can generate a competitive advantage for fundraising and will facilitate timely and cost efficient implementation of new regulatory standards.
We offered this program together with our implementation partner and specialists for processes and IT, acarda, a specialized services firm for the investment management industry providing process optimisation and IT integration consulting from front to back office.

Brooklyn's Restaurants have already taken a hit from the economic situation. People are just not spending as much, and better restaurants in Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope like Henry's End, Petit Marche, Noodle Pudding, Tempo, Convivium, Saul, Grocery, et al are reporting business down 20-30%. Lower end places are doing even worse. Many of the lower end places doubt they will be able to survive.
So, what can we do to help support our favorites now that Valentine's Day is upon us.
Almost all the above mentioned restaurants are offering special Prix Fixe menus from $45-$60.
Where will you be dining with your Sweetheart Saturday night?
A good time to visit TEMPO, where Robert and Michael have donated their entire restaurant to a Charity called "Modest Needs". They are now on salary, the employees will all keep their jobs and your dinner check is 70% tax deductable, as if we need additional incentive to dine on their fabulous food.

The article by Furuya et al. focuses on surgical site infections (SSIs) after liposuction in the Dominican Republic. The outbreak is likely due to inadequately sterilized liposuction cannulae.
The issue seems to affect a wide variety of cosmetic surgery procedures in countries like Venezuela and the Dominican Republic. It gives rise to the question: is plastic surgery in Venezuela safe ? Breast reductions, breast augmentations tummy tuck, injections into various body sites, face lifts are affected. A CDC report published in MMWR 47(49):1065-7 detected infections with rapidly growing mycobacteria (RGM) in patients from eight different hospitals in Caracas, Venezuela, which cleaned surgical instruments with tap water followed by low level desinfection with a commercial quarternary ammonium solution. These sterilization practices compare very unfavorably with US or European standards in widespread use in the English speaking Caribbean such as use of 2% glutaraldehyde solution followed by steam sterilization in class N autoclaves, possibly with pulse vacuum cycles or similar. It also outlines some of the risks unsuspecting patients face when undergoing cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery in Venezuela and the Dominican Republic, which seem to be particularly deficient in these standards, as the majority of outbreak and case reports in the literature of SSIs with RGMs are linked to those two countries. Are they improving ? Maybe, at least the outbreak reports have given way to the case reports. Is plastic surgery in Venezuela safe now ? Also only a maybe – once they work with sterile instruments !
Another CDC report (MMR 53(23):509) seems to report part of the same outbreak with Mycobacterium abscessus (a RGM) as Furuya et al., albeit the surgical spectrum is different. Breast augmentation, breast reduction, breast lift, abdominoplasty and liposuction are listed as index procedures. Interestingly, nothing specific is reported about the one case of breast augmentation. So it is unknown if implants had to be removed or repeat augmentation was performed once the infection had cleared under prolonged antibiotic treatment. Neither do any of the reports provide data about the total cost of treatment.
So the necessity of using sufficiently advanced sterilization practices must really be emphasized. No corners can be cut here. While not of equal magnitude as the PIP breast implant (Polyimplante Prosthesis breast implants) scandal in Venezuela and Colombia (about 30000 and 14000 recalled implants still in situ), avoidable complications due to inadequate sterilization of surgical instruments and liposuction cannulae the cited outbreaks should caution surgical facilities to implement stringent sterilization and infection control practices. So is plastic surgery in Venezuela safe ? Well, make sure you see them clean and put the instruments in a high end autoclave and have a look at the implants they want to put in before you go.

Happy Friday everyone! It's been a couple of weeks since I've done one of these, but I feel like I've got some good photos for you all to enjoy. As always, your votes and comments help me become a better photographer!
Monday: "Eyes"
Tuesday: "Rock Cities"
Wednesday: "Life's Path"
Thursday: "Weight of the World"
Friday: "Cloud Swirl"
Vote for your favorite! And, yes, you can vote more than once.
About the photo: "Cloud Swirl" Oh look, a pretty picture of nature. And look! The clouds are kind of swirly. Seriously, though, if I had any other deep insights about this picture, I'd share them with you.
Well, this is a gigantic wall of people…
Brief response to today's Daily Post prompt.
Many of us had imaginary friends as young children. If your imaginary friend grew up alongside you, what would his/her/its life be like today?
I didn't have an imaginary friend when I was little. Actually, I was never little. I've always been a gigantic, 6′ 7" guy (which is 200 centimeters for you metric fans). I've also always worn size 15 shoes. I was born this way.
No, seriously, I was severely introverted as a child, up until about 9th grade. Now, you may thing this is conducive of an imaginary friend. Here was a child, always locked inside his own head, always too shy to make real friends. But, you see, much like I was too shy to make real friends, I was also too shy and scared to make imaginary friends. So I was just kind of there. Existing. Just… doing my schoolwork and reading.
It was a very lonely childhood.
That was actually kind of sad, I'm sorry to be such a downer. Everything is all good now, though!
