I wonder if one couldn't set up a single modern computer, with a fast CPU and tons of memory, as N virtual machines, for instance using VMware, and then run a sort of virtual cluster? Obviously there wouldn't be any performance advantage to doing this but it might allow the subject to be taught when a real clusters isn't available. Presumably VMware already has some method for handling the network needs of each virtual machine, although I'm guessing it might not extend all the way to a DHCP boot emulation. There would also need to be some sort of peculiar performance measurement system at the VMware level since it would have to pretend that the N machines running sequentially were actually working in parallel, and report performance as if they had been. Seems doable. Maybe even worth doing so that this subject could be more easily taught. Regards, David Mathog mathog at caltech.edu Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

We live in a world of mystery, wonder, and beauty. But most of us seldom participate in this real world, being focused rather on the part that is mostly strife, suffering, or meaninglessness. This situation is basically due to our not realizing and living our full human potential. This potential can be actualized by the realization and development of the human essence. The human essence is the part of us that is innate and real, and which can participate in the real world.

Surrounded by a rainbow of green and the scent of fresh spring forest, I hung out with my feet dangling and wide grin on my face. Nothing could ruin my spirits – especially at 100 feet off the ground! Gazing over the tree tops in the HA Andrews' Experimental Forest while attached to an old growth, I breathed in the light and clean McKenzie River Valley air and took in the moment of my first successful tree climb.
I had the joy this past week of taking a tree top adventure with Pacific Tree Climbing Institute. Based out of Blue River, Pacific Tree Climbing Institute is a registered Oregon outfitter that takes visitors on an amazing experience to explore the lush and alive forests of the Pacific Northwest. Using ropes and harnesses, the duo who owns the company, assist, train and teach guests of all ages and abilities how to climb into the forest canopy.
Using my legs to boosted myself upward and then gliding my hands up the rope, I slowly but surely moved my way up the tree. The further up in the tree we progressed, the more the beautiful little details of nature popped out: the bark with its rough surface and color like rich, dark chocolate and sweet smell, the hanging gray-green beard-like moss, and the rush of the nearby the river. In the tree top, the forest fully came alive in an animated orchestra of textures, smells and sights.
Only for a brief moment at the beginning was I afraid – where the heart quickly skipped a beat – but amazingly the higher I went the more confident and exciting the trek became. The first one to the top and the last down, I was a kid again as I hung about the limbs in that evergreen park.
Beyond just leading quick day climbs, Pacific Tree Climbing Institute also offers overnight trips in the tree canopy and educational programs. Find out more about Pacific Tree Climbing Institute and book an adventure that you won't ever, ever forget!

Say what you will about Austin, TX, but you have to admire those people really committing to the whole "keep Austin weird" campaign. This guy is really doing his part, because what's weirder than a flaming Jeep driving itself through three major intersections? In this case "weird"="dangerous."
I think the take-away here is that if you're going to abandon your car because it's on fire, the polite thing to do is yank the handbrake or put it in P or turn it off or pretty much anything you can do to prevent it from becoming a self-propelled arson experience. This Jeep eventually was stopped when it hit a BMW, which was lucky, since no one was hurt.
Still, it could have kept going and ran into a truck full of oily rags, fireworks, and rolling papers, and nobody wants that.
Also, yes, the video seems to have been shot in portrait mode, which I know to many of you is a crime worse than DWI (Driving While Infanticizing). So, that's out in the open, no need to go all bonkers in the comments.
Feel free to go bonkers on that poor bastard running after his flaming jeep, though.

RAPID ACCESS TO NCI DISCOVERY RESOURCES (R-A-N-D) RELEASE DATE: February 27, 2003 NOTICE: NOT-CA-03-009 National Cancer Institute (NCI) (http://www.nci.nih.gov) The National Cancer Institute is requesting applications for the following initiative: Rapid Access to NCI Discovery Resources (R-A-N-D) program. The R-A-N-D program will make available to academic investigators, on a competitive basis, the discovery, and early preclinical development contract resources of NCI's Developmental Therapeutics Program. The goal of R-A-N-D is to remove the most common barriers between basic research findings and their exploitation for discovery of new molecular entities. R-A-N-D does not fund grants; applications to the program are requests for NCI drug discovery and development resources to conduct specific tasks the applicants themselves are unable to carry out in their efforts to translate basic research findings to the discovery of new drugs and biologics. Examples of tasks that may be requested include: production/characterization of molecular target proteins; high-throughput screening (HTS) assay development; natural product isolation/characterization; synthesis of combinatorial libraries; computer modeling, early pharmacology and in vivo efficacy studies. There are two receipt dates for requests for R-A-N-D support per year, April 1 and October 1. A Letter of Interest (LOI) must be submitted via email to the Program Coordinator 30 days prior to the application deadline. Current requests must be received by April 1, 2003 (LOI March 1, 2003), with all materials submitted directly to the office listed below. APPLICATIONS HAND-DELIVERED BY INDIVIDUALS TO THE NATIONAL CANCER INSTITUTE WILL NO LONGER BE ACCEPTED. This policy does not apply to courier deliveries (i.e. FEDEX, UPS, DHL, etc.) (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/ notice-files/NOT-CA-02-002.html). This change in practice is effective immediately. This policy is similar to and consistent with the policy for applications addressed to Centers for Scientific Review as published in the NIH Guide Notice https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/ NOT-OD-02-012.html. For information on process and procedure of requests for R-A-N-D resources, visit the DTP web site http://dtp.nci.nih.gov/. Inquiries are encouraged; the opportunity to clarify issues or questions is welcome. Academic investigators may have collaborations with small-business partners and still qualify for R-A-N-D funding. Non-profit organizations other than universities may also submit R-A-N-D applications. Please note that a maximum of two distinct requests for support per investigator can be submitted for each receipt date. INQUIRIES: For further information, contact: RAND Office of Associate Director Developmental Therapeutics Program National Cancer Institute Executive Plaza North Building, Suite 8020 6130 Executive Blvd. Rockville, MD 20852 Tel: 301-496-8720; Fax: 301-402-0831 firstname.lastname@example.com

LOS ANGELES (January 10, 2013) — The Association of Sites Advocating Child Protection (ASACP) is delighted to announce that it will once again attend the Internext Expo in Las Vegas.
According to its promoters, Internext Expo is not building upon its past success, but will meet the growing demands of a changing adult entertainment industry by surpassing expectations.
Internext Expo will be immediately followed by sister events Adult Entertainment Expo and the Adult Novelty Expo, along with the annual AVN Awards. The action is slated to begin on January 13 at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.
ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning will represent the association at this event.
"Attending Internext Expo is a valued mainstay of ASACP's adult industry outreach efforts. The event is a staple stop on the trade show circuit for many companies that are involved in adult digital media, including those that might not be present at other events," Henning stated. "Being able to reach these corporate decision makers is important to the association's mission of keeping children out of and away from age-inappropriate material."
ASACP will be promoted at the event via an advertisement in the show guide along with flyers in the show's gift bags, courtesy of Internext Expo and its sponsors, enabling ASACP to extend its presence at this popular adult industry gathering. In addition, the promoters of Internext Expo are helping to underwrite Henning's attendance by covering two nights of his hotel stay in Las Vegas.
"From spreading the word about ASACP's Best Practices and the Restricted To Adults (RTA) website label, to exploring solutions to child protection in the mobile arena," Henning added, "Internext Expo presents unique opportunities for educating stakeholders about our mission, while garnering new contacts, supporters and sponsors."
For more information, or to schedule a meeting with Henning, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Pineapple in 18th Century America
Americans of the colonial era would have recognized the pineapple as a symbol with many meanings. The most noticeable pineapple could have been seen on the signs of the confectioners' shops, probably because the earliest imported pineapples crossed the Atlantic packed in sugar.
None but the wealthiest and worldliest Americans could afford to import and purchase the tropical fruit, thus implying a certain social and economic status. And since the host who served the rare and extravagant fruit would have been viewed as particularly generous, the pineapple may also have been a symbol of hospitality and cordiality.
The pineapple was present at Jefferson's Monticello not primarily as a food, for we know of only two Jeffersonian purchases of the fruit, but rather as a decorative motif. Recent archaeological excavations on Mulberry Row, the center of light industry at Monticello, have unearthed an English Staffordshire pearlware bowl dating from about 1795 and decorated with a pineapple.

Firebird – Deluxe (Release Year – 2001)
Firebird is the band led by Bill Steer from Napalm Death and Carcass. The sound of Firebird is about a million miles away from the other groups that Steer has been a member of. You won't find death metal on "Deluxe". Firebird's sound has a 70's rock vibe with a stoner rock element that leans heavily towards acts like Jimi Hendrix, Cream and Black Sabbath.
What amazes me about "Deluxe" is the huge sound on this record. For only a three piece band, the music is pretty awesome. The production quality is a little off, but there is no doubt after listening to these tunes, that Bill Steer is a huge, largely unknown talent. His guitar wizardry on this album needs to be heard to be appreciated.
It helps that I love a lot of stoner rock bands, but I believe Firebird is a lot more that your run of the mill, sludge rock act. There is a cool blues vibe, with huge bass lines and big drums which truly give this band a cool sound. This is the type of CD that you need to blast out of a good stereo system, so you can truly hear the music. Ear buds and headphones just don't do this one justice.
Deluxe is the band's sophomore release from 2001, which was reissued in 2007. The band is working on their fifth CD, "Grand Union" for a 2009 release. Judging from the sounds on this disc, I will be anxiously awaiting Firebird's new material
For more information on Firebird, and to hear songs from "Deluxe" check the Firebird myspace page. You can purchase your own copy of "Deluxe" at this link. For you big spenders, the Japanese Import of "Deluxe" has a bonus cover of the Rush song, "Working Man". You can find that version at this link.

FOREST Green have paid up the remainder of goalkeeper Matt Bulman's contract to enable the former Swindon Town stopper to seek first team football.
His contract was due to expire in June, but boss Ady Pennock has agreed a deal to allow the Rovers' number two to leave now.
Bulman leaves the New Lawn with some fond memories and is mulling over a few offers as he starts the next chapter of his career, he said: " I loved every single minute of it.I have a few offers and I'm sorting myself out for next week."
Formerly on the books of Swindon Town and Salisbury City, Bulman moved to The New Lawn after a fine season for Cirencester in 2010-11 earned him Player of the Year. He penned an initial two-year contract before a later extension until June 2014.
After impressing in preseason, Bulman began the 2011-12 season at Rovers first choice between the sticks, ahead of FGR's 2010-11 Supporters' Player of the Season James Bittner.
But Bittner returned to the starting line-up after five games, and after current number one Sam Russell arrived from Darlington in January 2012, Bulman played just two cup games for the remainder of the season.
Even with Bittner's departure in the summer of 2012, Bulman made only two further starts (in cup games) in the following 18 months.
In November, Bulman went on a month long loan to Chippenham Town in a bid to get game time.
Rovers manager Ady Pennock said:: "Matt wants to be playing games and this is the best move for all concerned, the club wish him all the best in his future career."
Bulman leaves Forest Green after a total of nine appearances (including County Cup games).

Do you have a child of any age with a hearing loss?
Have you just found out your child has a hearing loss?
If you have a newborn, have they been screened for hearing loss?
HLAA is here for parents. We have created a Parents Section just for you. The goal is to give you information and resources to help you make informed decisions about your child's hearing loss. The choices are yours to make for your children, but gather all the information on possible options.
View the Education pages under the Advocacy section for other useful information.
Teaching Mainstreamed Students with Hearing Loss
Video for Parents, Teachers and Students
HLAA Member Zina Jawadi, a high school senior who has a hearing loss produced a video for teachers and school staff who have students with hearing loss. The video is open captioned. [View video]
Children and Hearing Loss
- Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) refers to the process of screening every newborn for hearing loss prior to hospital discharge, whereby infants not passing the screening receive appropriate diagnostic evaluation before three months of age and, when necessary, are enrolled in early intervention programs by six months of age.
- Hearing screening is a test to tell if a child might have hearing loss. Hearing screening is easy and is not painful. In fact, babies are often asleep while being screened. It takes a very short time — usually only a few minutes.
- The earlier a hearing loss is detected in infants the better the outcome for language and speech development.
- In children, hearing loss can be confused with a learning disability when, in fact, the child might not be hearing clearly what the teacher is saying.
- Even a mild hearing loss or a one-sided hearing loss can affect school work. Research has shown that on average, children with mild hearing loss perform poorer than their normally-hearing peers and may need to repeat a grade.
- More than ever, young people are at risk for hearing loss because of repeated exposure to loud sounds from musical instruments, MP3 and iPod players and any personal listening device inserted in the ear. Any sort of sound can cause a permanent hearing loss if it is loud enough and lasts long enough.

- Year
- 1968
Gibson strikes out 17 in World Series
On October 2, 1968, St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Bob Gibson strikes out 17 Detroit Tigers in the first game of the World Series, breaking Sandy Koufax's record for the most strikeouts in a Series game. Though the Cards ended up losing the Series in seven games, Gibson pitched three and struck out an unprecedented 35 batters.
Gibson was recovering from an injury–the year before, a Roberto Clemente line drive had smashed his ankle–but he still managed to win 22 games in 1968, with one 15-game winning streak that included 10 of his 13 shutouts. He started 34 games and finished 28 (an incredible 304 2/3 innings of play) and in one remarkable 96-inning stretch he allowed just two runs. His earned-run average was 1.12, the fourth-lowest ever.
Gibson was the National League's MVP in 1968, but his weren't the year's only extraordinary accomplishments on the mound. Tigers pitcher Denny McLain (who lost twice to Gibson in the '68 Series) won 31 games. Dodger Don Drysdale threw six shutouts in a row–a record 58 2/3 scoreless innings. The Cards and the Giants threw back-to-back no-hitters, one against the other, and the Astros beat the Mets by scoring just one run after an exhausting 24 innings.
People called it the Year of the Pitcher, and it didn't happen by accident. The home-run-heavy early 1960s had inspired baseball commissioner Ford Frick to try to prevent batters from batting quite so well, for fear that the game would become too lopsided for fans to enjoy. Frick raised the pitchers' mound from 10 inches to 15, and he implemented a bigger strike zone. As a result, batting averages tumbled. Only six players hit over .300 in 1968, and Carl Yastrzemski's .301 was the lowest average ever to win a league batting title.
Pitchers were happy, but almost no one else was. Commissioner William Eckert was fired at the end of the season for not doing more to help hitters. The next year, new commissioner Bowie Kuhn reintroduced the 10-inch pitchers' mound and the smaller strike zone, and Rod Carew won the AL title with a .332 average. Since then, the designated hitter; the shrinking strike zone; smaller ballparks; weight training and steroids; and livelier baseballs have all boosted batting averages and made it harder to pitch as successfully as Gibson and his peers.
But Gibson took the changes in stride. He struck out 10 Pirates and walked three in his only no-hitter in August 1971. Three years later, he pitched his 3,000th strikeout–only the second in MLB history to do so–to Cesar Geronimo of the Cincinnati Reds. (He'd throw 3,117 in all.) He was a first-ballot selection to the Hall of Fame in 1981, and fans voted him to the All-Century Team in 1999. His statue stands outside Busch Stadium in St. Louis.

Iconic and lovely Louise Bourgeois once said, "The feminists took me as a role model, as a mother. It bothers me. I am not interested in being a mother. I am still a girl trying to understand myself."
Likewise, one might suggest that the soft and silicone rubber sculptures of Michelle Carla Handel, collected here, are conceptually doing something similar, but with a splash of Claes Oldenburg's wit and color pop.
Each piece feels intriguingly pubescent: exploring the grotesque softness of bodies and gender through seemingly pliable forms that physically confuse or bend out of shape, emotionally heaving with discovery and wear.

Ethnic cleansing and Genocide
Maybe the following answers my previous question, at least partly.
A creeping transfer in the West Bank and a measured genocidal policy in the Gaza strip are the two strategies Israel employs today. From an electoral point of view the policy in Gaza is problematic, as it does not reap any tangible results; the West Bank under Mahmoud Abbas is yielding to Israeli pressure and there is no significant force that arrests the Israeli strategy of annexation and dispossession.

I'm the article says "up to 15%" at the facility level - did you get 20% by figuring a savings at the rack level, too? afaikt, the article is based on an assumption that everything is powered by an online UPS, and probably that node PSU's are low-performance (say, 65%). sometimes studies like this ignore fact that incoming power is inherently AC (that is, only start looking at efficiency given DC supply.) I'd love to see DC gain more traction - PSU's are certainly one of the flakier components in our systems, though per node (HP DL145G2), they only contain 2 of 14 fans (or of 18 moving parts). I don't know whether there's a reason to think many small AC-DC PSU's would be less efficient than a couple really big ones (factoring in the cost and inefficiency of DC power distribution). I'd certainly be interested in a distribution system (whether AC or DC) that avoided so damn many plugs and sockets and breakers and PDUs. I guess I'm more enthused about servers becoming lower-powered, and also quite interested in better ways to dissipate the heat than raised floors and traditional chillers... > curious how long it would take before DC supplied racks become cost > effective. well, there's already a standard DC supply - to the motherboard. one impediment might be that it's got +12, -12, 5, 3.3 and probably a couple others. if it were just a matter of providing lightly regulated 12V, life would probably be a lot simpler. and I'm not sure MB's would be much more complicated, either, since the current main consumer, the CPU, already has a fairly flexible and high-power onboard dc-dc converter.

"In Retirement, Will You Take
Your Grandkids to McDonald'sTM or Will
You be the One Serving
Them the Burgers?"
Here's why you've been lied to, by whom and
the 5 Secrets that make the difference between
luxury living and eternal servitude...
Friday, 6:18 p.m.
Dear Friend,
Your timing is excellent. The League of Power hasn't opened its doors for years; we've only just blown the dust off our register. But even now, our doors are only quickly cracked open for a few at a time and this initial selection stage does not guarantee passage over the velvet rope.
This moment you stand in front of a gateway to a world jealousy guarded by the super-rich. Five 'secrets' are the combination to the lock...
The good news is you're ready for some dark but incredibly empowering truths. You've passed our initial screening.
I guess you could say you've been noticed by our scouts. So please, find a comfortable and private spot, pour yourself something and let me explain exactly what this is all about so you (and I) can decide if you're right for The League of Power.
We need to talk...
You're deliberately denied accurate information. So how are you supposed to make good decisions? Don't blame yourself...the game is rigged...
... You just need to know how it's rigged and why!
You've been trying to complete a puzzle with 5 pieces missing. BIG pieces!
I call the missing pieces 'The Five Secrets'. I call them secrets because they are deliberately kept from the public at large. Are you skeptical at this moment? If so, this could be a problem; we need people with open minds and ready for change.
Have you ever met a wealthy skeptic?!
You see, 'The Man' wants you to be skeptical!
Think about it. If you believe in his illusion that you can't be like him, you stay working for him. Remember, we can't have everyone in luxury retirement or the system wouldn't work.
Your life is irreplaceable. Do you really want to spend the largest part of it making someone else's life better?!
People drift on, living from month to month, looking forward to the distant day when their mortgage is paid off and they can (hopefully!) collect a measly pension. People make themselves feel better temporarily by changing jobs, moving or even buying a new sofa, but they are only treading water. Yet they still have the illusion of progress.
Money is nothing on its own. Freedom is what money brings which in turn brings happiness. You'll be surprised to learn you don't need anywhere near a million dollars to be free!
Imagine. You wake up every day knowing everything is on your terms. No bosses or bankers telling you what to do, no restrictions on what you buy.
Freedom is the true reason we want wealth.
Let's get angry about this...you were born a free person! Who are employers, or anyone else for that matter, to tell you what to do?!
Would you rather complain about working or to take steps to ensure you never have to work again? Do you have the guts to ask "why" to 'the system,' or are you happy being a worker drone, taken advantage of your whole life?
I'm talking about the big picture here. All the money-making schemes in the world aren't worth zip unless you understand the truth about what's going on.
You'll just keep chasing your tail!
So what is The League of Power exactly?
Let me first say what The League of Power ISN'T: This is not some whacky cult and it's not a religion. We're perfectly legal and above board. It's not an MLM/network marketing scheme or any sort of business opportunity.
So what is it?
An Internet secret society with a single mission: to liberate its members from slavery to 'The Man' through the FREE distribution of hard core information and mutually empowering introductions. Freedom by Friday is one such example.
In short, we give the gift of wealth, power and freedom.
Fortunes are made by an introduction, a phone call, a nod from an insider, trade-marking a few words or an idea or the registration of a website name. That's what we're about- that's what I do on a regular basis, as do many of my brothers and sisters in The League of Power.
There was a time when this would have been a crazy dream, but in the information age, it's reality...
You're about to smash the illusion that you have to work hard to become wealthy.
We aim to empower our members to make more on a single handshake than a year working for 'the Man'! And this is a reality for those who utilize what we teach them.
Perhaps you're thinking you have to have a degree or be ultra-smart to gain acceptance? Wrong...!
By day, our members could be filing clerks, mechanics, waitresses, sales people or whatever. But secretly, they are League of Power. They are part of a powerful family (one of our members is even an English lord). And with their family behind them, they're gunning down the inside track to a life of wealth, power and freedom.
This family doesn't hold you back and it looks after its own.
Members may recognize each other if ever their paths cross- not from a secret handshake but by a knowing nod and the air of power that surrounds them. Power from knowledge.
But more about that later. Let's talk more about YOU and if your face will fit. As you may be starting to see, one way our members may grow rich is by other, more established members giving them a 'free-ride' so to speak, so we must ensure you think the same way we do; it's a community of like-minded people.
Here's the first and foremost consideration:
You have to be comfortable with making money and keeping it.
Listen, you have to be 'okay' about acquiring wealth. Many people aren't- at least unconsciously anyway. Much like human beings, money is automatically attracted to those who respect it, understand it and care about it.
I speak from experience when I tell you this phenomenon is very real. Money just seems to be attracted to you when you have this power. You become a money-magnet! But only if you're ready to embrace money- if not, you'll just find wealth 'mysteriously' eludes you... and we will respectfully decline your application.
Okay, here's something else I need to check with you:
If you DON'T want to break free of 'the system', expose the 'big lie' and join the wealthy few, please do NOT read further.
If you're accepted into our circle, the first thing we do is train you by means of unbelievably powerful and somewhat controversial material. I'll tell you now, you won't have seen anything like this stuff- it's like being told all your life never to go into a locked room and suddenly being given the key.
It can be a little disconcerting to be exposed to such power all at once, which is why we train you in stages. Suddenly, everything will fall into to place as you discover the 'big lie'.
Be warned: some people have been known to become angry and upset at what initial training reveals.
Whether you're an employee, self-employed or even on a fixed-income, you struggle through each week hand-to-mouth while the few live a life of abundant luxury. Our screening process ensures you've started to question why this should be instead of just accepting it.
'The Man' always wins. Always. That's the way the system is designed; the masses MUST keep their noses to the grind for 'The Man' to become and stay wealthy. By the same token, the 'big lie' must be maintained.
Next question:
Do you feel uncomfortable being one of the masses?
You see, the sort of people we're looking for aren't happy to accept things the way they are. They're ready to cut the chains. To fight back! And to do that, they must be open to an entirely new way of thinking.
Make your choice: Be like everybody else and live like they do, or enter the elite circle.
This path may alienate you from friends and family and once you go down this little-trodden path, you'll find it hard to turn back.
If the thought of being different to everybody else scares you even a little, please stop reading now.
It's okay. The League of Power isn't for everyone.
I take it to have come this far though, you've said, "I'm in!"
So if this is for you, let's talk more about what training and membership entails...
Members of The League Of Power often exclaim it's like a veil being lifted from their eyes. They instantly feel stronger and possess a new-found confidence…
Were you aware an informed minority is completely unaffected by a property or stock market crash even when fully invested in these areas?!
This is one of many closely guarded secrets I'll be revealing to you as a member of The League Of Power.
These are the facts:
You'll never become wealthy by working for someone else. Plus you leave yourself vulnerable to downsizing!
You'll never become very wealthy by running your own business,
either. And then, only with few exceptions.
Five Secrets have been deliberately kept from you by those who have a great deal to gain by keeping you in the dark. HARSH TRUTH!
So how do you join?
Your application goes in stages. If you're approved for membership you pay a nominal monthly 'pledge' of just $27 to cover training materials and administration.
The League of Power is a genuine secret society and has all the usual protocols.
As a member, you will be known as 'Brother' or 'Sister' and be expected to exercise confidentiality.
Remember, you are only reading this because you were selected from a special pool and you may NOT refer any friends until you get that clearance from us. As you progress through the wealth grades, you may move on to the Inner Circle and perhaps even become a Grand Master when you will be entitled to award membership at your discretion.
Materials are issued periodically to you. Here's what you'll receive for your initial training package:
The League of Power induction course. You will receive one lesson a month for ten months. This course discloses 'The 5 Secrets' and will totally blow you away. This material is the most sensitive of all.
Freedom Software. This powerful software serves up your personalized freedom plan in seconds and demonstrates how The League of Power makes your dream a reality.
'The Midas Method'. You will instantly gain access to the FREE copy of the book which will change your life forever and prepare your mind for the hard-hitting material which follows in the course.
You will be given the passkey to the highest-level study materials at the members website www.LeagueofPower.com. These materials are constantly being updated and added to so this benefit is ongoing.
10% discount on all products approved by The Escape Committee (this alone is worth the measly 'pledge' of $27 a month).
Now, you may think this is a no-brainer, but as I've mentioned, despite our best attempts to screen applicants, some people are scared off by the first lesson, so here's your guarantee in case you're one of those recruits that slips through the net:
Get-Out Clause Guarantee:
In your first lesson, I will disclose 'The 5 Secrets'. Upon receiving your package, you have 28 days to review the 1st lesson to decide if you wish to continue with the course. If you decide not to continue, simply call or email us to receive a full, no-hassle refund of your money with my compliments. YOU MAY STILL KEEP THE LESSON and all accompanying FREE gifts. After that, you may cancel your membership 'pledge' at any time in which we will not collect any future membership fees from you. All membership fees paid after the 28 days are non-refundable.
Make a positive step towards financial freedom right now by becoming a member of The League Of Power! I look forward to greeting you.
Simply click here to begin the application.

P.S. You always had a sneaking suspicion the game was rigged and this is confirmation of that fact. Once you accept this reality and plan accordingly, the battle is half-won! You've been conditioned to believe working every day and living week-to-week is normal. I'm here to break your conditioning.

3- Saints predictions.
NFC South is likely NFL's toughest division
Lee Zurik / WWL-TV Sports Reporter
I think there will only be a few games separating everyone in this division. I like Tampa to win it again, with the Saints second and Carolina surprising everyone by coming in third – and making the playoffs. I think the Panthers defense is still very good and their offense is improved. They lost a lot of games by just a few points last season and this year could turn. In Atlanta, I think Dan Reeves got more than he should have out of his defense and I don't think they'll repeat that performance. Also, defensive coordinators have had a whole year to prepare for Michael Vick and I think they'll have some surprises for him.
Pressure on Deuce
When you saw how this team did last year once Deuce was injured, you know how important he is to this team. I don't understand why they didn't upgrade the backup running back role, where Curtis Keaton now resides. I think depth is so key at two positions – cornerback and running back. You can never have enough good corners and Denver has shown what having depth at running back means.
Secondary is better but pass rush is the key
On paper things look better at the corner with Dale Carter, Ashley Ambrose and Fred Thomas. Carter was just rounding into shape last year when he went down. But even with the improvement, without a significant pass rush, the defense will stop no one.
Lee's NFC South Picks
*playoff team
Lots of young defenders need to learn fast
There will be a lot of first, second and third year guys starting on this defense. Charles Grant, Sullivan, James Allen, Sedrick Hodge, Mel Mitchell, Darren Howard and Kenny Smith. Those are seven guys picked by Haslett, who will make up a significant part of the defense and all could start.
Tampa won't repeat - Saints the choice in NFC South
Jim Henderson / WWL-TV Sports Director
Probably the best thing working in the Saints favor is the fact that Tampa won it all last year. No one repeats in the NFL and I doubt if the Bucs will, in fact, I don't think they'll win the division. Having said that, I'm going to go with the Saints as division champs. I think they will make the playoffs along with the Bucs and Falcons.
Pivotal year for Haslett
I think this is a very big year for Jim Haslett. I'm not sure he could survive another late season swoon. If that would happen again, I'm not sure the Saints could sell tickets off another fast start – people would always wait for the next shoe to fall.
Brooks needs to grow up as a leader
Aaron Brooks has all of the physical ability. Last year he played hurt – and that's to his credit. What he needs to do is mature as a leader. He's very thin-skinned and the team coddles him quite a bit. If Brooks is back at full strength, with all of the weapons that he has, and with him labeling himself a "top five� quarterback last year, he'll have to deliver.
Jim's NFC South Picks
*playoff team
Lee Zurik's picks
Getting rid of Ditka's leftovers
As Haslett goes into his fourth season, he has now purged the team of any draft picks or top acquisitions from the Mike Ditka era. Yes, they've seen Ricky Williams, Willie Roaf, La Roi Glover and Kyle Turley go, but I think the only one they really regret losing is Glover. They saw Roaf as a guy at the end of his career and Williams and Turley as problems, but mostly they weren't "their guys.�
Fans show their undying love
How many fans left the Superdome after one of last year's late season losses muttering about how they would never return? Now, the team is closing in on 50,000 season tickets sold and they have a good shot to break the all-time club record of 53,000 and change. I just think it speaks to the undying love of this city for its NFL team.
Brooks, Haslett need breakout years
Juan Kincaid / WWL-TV Sports Reporter
This has to be a breakout year for Aaron Brooks and for Jim Haslett as well. There's been so much talk about this team since that first year when they exceeded expectations and made the playoffs, but they haven't done anything. It's all about winning in the NFL and the past two years, down the stretch, they haven't won. Brooks looks real good right now. He's lifting weights and I think his physical health is excellent. He should be as good, if not better than last year and it could be that in December he's in the position of having to save Haslett's job.
Stopping the run is biggest concern
I think the offense is rock solid and there will be little competition for any of the spots. On defense, however, there are a few questions. First is the defensive tackle area. I think the ends will be solid, but I'm concerned about the middle, especially if Grady Jackson doesn't come back in shape. As for linebacker, it's a question mark with Orlando Ruf and Derrick Rodgers needing to answer the call.
Backup running back is empty
Only two bubble players – James Fenderson and Curtis Keaton – are on this roster to spell Deuce McAllister, who obviously can't carry the load 40 times a game.
Top pick needs to contribute – others have time
Juan's NFC South Picks
*playoff team
Expect Johnathan Sullivan to miss about a week to a week and a half to get his contract done. That's about normal and he should come right in and do well. He needs to contribute in a big way. Jon Stinchcomb will get some time on a talented offensive line but it will be limited as this team is good and deep there. Cie Grant may be slowed some this year, but he could end up being the best linebacker on this roster if what I'm hearing from folks who've seen the mini-camp workouts is true. Also, expect some good things from Talman Gardner, maybe not this year, but in time.

There are plenty of reasons to see through the glass darkly in late November. You don't need me to remind you what they are.
But there are also good reasons why it's become an American tradition to say thanks amid the gathering darkness.
On this holiday, I'm grateful for a few small-time heroes.
I call them "small-time" not because their heroism is petty or unworthy. It's just that their kind of everyday valor goes largely unnoticed.
I got to thinking about that when I attended a wedding at the Waybury Inn this past summer.


text:
This is just to say that I haven't gotten lost in the wonders of Barcelona (though that is extremely possible and thoroughly tempting) and I have, indeed, made my way back to my little tropical isle and into the arms of my small but much-loved-and-missed family unit. The heat and my family weren't the only ones waiting to welcome me though. As anyone who takes a holiday from work knows, you return to a Goliath of tasks and an email inbox bursting at the seams (thank goodness I upgraded to terabytes!). So a proper post will have to wait a bit…I do hope you will all be patient!
Meanwhile, as I have done in the past, I hope to bribe your patience with holiday photos. This was a short trip but any amount of time in Barcelona, no matter the length, is magical.
Half of the trip was for work…and really, that's all you have to know about my very normal day job.
After official business was dispensed, I visited with a beloved godmother and we chatted and caught up and laughed and ate.
She took me to one of the oldest restaurants in Barcelona that is still owned by the same family – tucked away off La Rambla; a place beyond cozy where we enjoyed a plate of glistening jamon iberico and pan con tomate and such a platter of grilled seafood so good it made my heart (and tummy) swell.
She also introduced me to her neighborhood xarcuteria (charcuterie) where I stocked up on all manners of jamon and chorizo. It's the kind of place where one of the owners tends the counter and they always remember your name and offer you bits of free things for tasting or for taking home. Although this is not unusual in a city full of such gems.
I finally bought my Nespresso machine, and an aeroccino, and as much coffee pods as my already straining suitcase could carry. Suffice to say that C and I have been enjoying it much too much as we begin the wonderful journey of figuring out which of the "grand crus" are our favorites.
I pay a visit to my favorite church of all time, the Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudi's staggering masterpiece. I have gone every single time I've been in Barcelona. What I love most about it, aside from its general awesomeness, is the very fact that it is unfinished. As such, it is different every time I visit. This quality which I know frustrates some people is what I find most exciting. The first time I had been it had practically no roof, aside from the towers you walked through the grand façade to scaffolding and sunlight. Now it has a ceiling fashioned to look like a canopy of trees with well placed holes to let in the sunlight still. A magnificent work in progress, started by a master and carried on through the ages…much like man ourselves?
Of course I make time for the market, La Boqueria, another favorite. Although I cannot take any of the gorgeous fresh fruit and vegetables, I buy my share of dried peppers (pimientos choriceros in particular) and ground spice mixes to compensate. At this point my suitcase is about to have triplets. But I do manage to sneak in some ventresca de bonito del norte in extra virgin olive oil. And beluga lentils!
And I have fresh figs for breakfast and dessert. Yes oh yes.
The trip was short, but it was a full as my straining suitcase…which barely made it through check in.
And now I must return to that mountain of work that demands my attention. I hope this tides you over until I can get back to proper cooking and blogging. Meanwhile, if you have any specific questions about the places I visited or the goodies I bought feel free to email me!

Freelancer's Blues & Thrilling News
I love my work!
It's my passion! More often than not, I get to create the exact kind of work I am craving, not long after the craving first shows its face. Life sends these specific contracts my way, as soon as I desire to explore a certain aspect of my work. And I feel blessed that most customers trust me enough to leave me tremendous freedom in the design.
Still, sometimes, the life of a full-time freelance creature designer/maker/performer isn't so glamorous. You certainly don't get to rest for very long! In fact, I've never even ever taken a true vacation. Every day off I've taken, not counting sick days, which are very rare) was spent in part for research or networking.
I would never stop doing what I love. I chose this lifestyle!
Yet, Life IS change, and if I want to keep enjoying mine, some changes must be made!
As much as I enjoy a schedule that's not too repetitive, there is such a thing as too much chaos, and too much to do. I'm never bored and I'm thrilled constantly with the results and opportunities I get. I just seek more stability. Good news is, I can feel it coming around the corner. (See Unraku, below) Even the most motivated individual gets tired sometimes. The following will show what I mean.
This summer, with multiple small contracts that were constantly overlapping and usually rushes, coupled with a month-long preparation for a month and a half solo gallery show of my work, was a non-stop race, and this speedy pace seems to be continuing into the fall.
My day so far:
This morning
Marotte of a little girl puppet, picked up by the customer.
Had to repaint and change its haircut in 35 minutes. Did it with success!
I just learned I will not have a minute to rest Monday night, after the 8 hour bus ride back from a trip, because a puppet needs to be mostly re-built and be ready for a day and a half later (see Tabletop Puppet of Terror below).
This afternoon
Will assemble my Satyr puppet, which needs to be fully articulated by the end of today, so I can bring to Toronto to show my colleagues this week-end.
Will get two puppets picked up by past customer who lent them for my gallery show this summer.
Tabletop Puppet of Terror
Will get an in-progress puppet back from a current project which should have been finished two months ago (customer paid deposit a month late, and took weeks, several times, to provide vital information). I wish I could drop this project, and I would feel entitled, considering the insulting delays and "bullshitting", but the project's instigator owes me half the payment (upon delivery), and two colleagues I highly respect are still involved in the project and need the puppet. Life sure wants me to learn to be a "though guy" when it comes to choosing my contracts and conditions. ever since I saw an inspiring sign in a bus station in Brasttleboro Vermont: "Your lack of plannification does not constitute my rush". Lesson learned!
Tonight Still working on that Satyr puppet, broadcasting some of the process live on blogTV.
Preparing luggage for Toronto trip.
Great News:
On a very positive note, there are highlights that make this all worthwhile.
The obstacles and complications just seem like small bumps when focusing on the good!
Yet, I know it will all work out and the situation will stabilize!
I'm now the Montreal branch of a Toronto puppet company named Unraku.
We moved in to our first official studio about two weeks ago. I can't wait to see what they did with the place, as it was already very promising when I last saw it.
I'm Looking forward to this week-end, I'll see my Unraku colleagues again, one of which I never met in person, as she hails from Pheonix, Arizona! We are shooting a music video, as a promotional tool for the company. We shall also attend an evening where I will meet Alexander Mergold, an Art Doll and Puppet artist whose work I've admired for years.
The evening will be hosted by Open Door Design, a lovely puppet store in Toronto.
The main project for Unraku these days is one I cannot yet reveal much about, but it's going to be big. I'll keep you posted as the information becomes available for release. Here's what I can say about it now: It's going to be a weekly puppet show, published online. Assembled in Toronto (homebase), but filmed in Toronto, Montreal, and Pheonix.
The creatures will be varied, and the fun will be palpable!
We shall be promoting the show at the Central Canada Comicon in Winnipeg (Alberta, Canada), at the end of the month, as well as other festivals and events until March, when we are going to Megacon, in Orlando(Florida).
October will be busy:
•My Halloween mask (another Satyr) needs to be ready for the Winnipeg trip
•I'm building (not designing) the official puppet for an artist/writer who has a series of music albums and books for children starring a squirrel. I'm looking forward to it.
•I was hired to create a one-of-a-kind little girl glove puppet as a birth gift.
Keeping busy!
To see me in action, I very often broadcast my creaturemaking steps live from Blogtv. I don't have a schedule, but it's usually evenings and nights.
And as usual, my portfolio can be seen on this other blog:

Actually, not really my first post hahaha :D Since a looongg time ago i wanted to start a blog, especially talking about my passion in Fashion, besides business ;)
So now i'm a newbie blogger, i guess? will keep learning! I do a lot of stalking blogger's account in their blog or twitter or instagram, i found they had so much fun in it! Not easy to maintain a good and a recongnizable outfit. But i think if we do it because we love it, and it is our style, it wouldn't be so stressful to do ;D
Outfit photos was taken during my high school year book photoshoot on April. My hair was still black back then, now mine is brown (not sure what's the name of the colour because when i went to the salon i pick 2 colors and told them to mix it. hehe ;) These photos were taken at the garden and me and my friends really forgot to put the essential and important thing: Mosquito anti lotion T.T So we went home with legs full of mosquito's bites. Uh you pity girls..
Decided to wear colorful outfit because the theme was "Picnic- Indonesian Food" so we took the pictures showing varieties of Indonesian food. Mine was pempek, and when the photoshoots are done, we are too excited to see the photo previews on camera and the pempek was left behind ;p
Chose the Yellow colored cardigan because it covers arm nicely and the bright colors really pop! Instead of mellow, we should be happy and mostly in a good mood because you know, positive mind leads you for a brighter day!
Also can't forget the dress, i remember when i bought it i was like 'oughh well this is not really me" but when i put it together with the cardigan, began to love it :p The salem colour is in soft hue, so will calm down the eyes because the yellow popped already. Be calm, because an empty positive calm mind and heart will prevent you from something you don't wan't to happen.
Love the color combination of it and it gave me some girly attack feeling hehe*.*
Added a flowercrown which was my friend's, put that pinky butterfly earings.
So here comes the headband. It is from wire and colorful beads. Plus, a creme tiny belt to give more shape on my waist.
Last touch, put a satchel bag and sequin white wedges.
And by the way, this was a coincidence that all of my outfit here are unbranded except the wedges.
Cardigan, dress and bag was bought in Mangga Dua.
Wedges is from Buccheri.
Headband was my friend's handmade.
Lesson: Fashion doesn't always come with branded items or luxurious things. It comes in various brands,materials, fabrics, qualities, shapes, styles, and everything. Explore it!;)

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Wellness Wellness Tips
These Simple Tips will Improve Your Overall Health
Take a few minutes and watch THIS VIDEO to discover an easy way to improve your overall health and well-being.
Jump for joy — literally! Women who exercise more and channel surf less are least likely to be diagnosed with depression, according to a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology. Older women who spent less time in front of the TV and more time being active saw their risk of depression go down, compared to those who spent several hours a day in front of the tube. Walking was the most common type of exercise reported in the study; however, only those who kept a brisk or very brisk pace demonstrated an emotional health boost. Give your mood a lift by turning off the TV and lacing up your walking shoes. Then get outside and walk for at least 30 minutes a day. — Source: Cleveland Clinic
Want to enjoy a long, healthy life? Resolve to quit smoking and avoid second hand smoke in the New Year.
What's the most important New Year's resolution you can make? To quit smoking. Smoking puts you at an increased risk for chronic diseases like lung cancer, emphysema, bronchitis, heart disease and diabetes. Smoking also ages you: It can make you look and feel eight to 13 years older than you really are, says Dr. Mike Roizen, chief wellness officer at the Cleveland Clinic. Stay away from secondhand smoke too: The smoke that burns off the end of a cigarette or cigar actually contains more harmful substances than the smoke inhaled by the smoker! — Source: Cleveland Clinic
To avoid making poor food choices, write down everything you eat in a small notebook.
During the holidays, keep a small notebook with you at all times or use a notebook page in your smartphone and write down everything you eat, advises Dr. Mike Roizen, chief wellness officer at the Cleveland Clinic. This will keep you from eating absentmindedly and from making poor food choices. Keeping a food journal helps control caloric intake and prevents between-meal munching. It's simply too much trouble to eat if you have to write it down every time! Not only will this trick prevent weight gain, it may even help you lose a few pounds. During the weeks between Thanksgiving and New Year's, the 25 percent of people who had lost weight during the rest of the year — those who most consistently recorded every bite of food — lost an average of seven pounds, whereas the other 75 percent regained an average of three pounds. — Source: Cleveland Clinic
According to the Cleveland Clinic, your body needs to recoup every hour of lost sleep at some point — or you risk losing your cognitive edge — focus, learning, and memorizing.
If you burn the midnight oil during the week, you can't catch up on all of your lost sleep by sleeping in on the weekend. Your body needs to recoup every hour of missed shut-eye. So if you deprive yourself of two hours of sleep Monday through Thursday to meet a major deadline, that's eight extra hours of bedtime that you have to make up in order for your body to recover. People who routinely get fewer than six hours of sleep per night may be unwittingly racking up this so-called sleep debt, which can impact performance and cognitive function. Even if you feel only slightly drowsy, you may still have a tough time focusing, learning or memorizing. New research suggests that significant and chronic sleep deprivation may even have long-lasting negative effects on the brain. Here are some tips for falling asleep quickly.
Concerned about heart health? Boost good cholesterol and slash your heart attack risk by exercising vigorously for three hours a week:
Men concerned about their heart health may want to step up the pace during their workout sessions. Research published by the American College of Sports Medicine suggests that men can lower their heart attack risk by 22 percent just by exercising vigorously for three hours a week. The researchers believe the protective effects are due to the benefits of rigorous activity on "helpful" HDL cholesterol levels. Vigorous exercise works better than moderate efforts for raising good cholesterol. However, it's not so great at keeping blood sugar levels in check — which is why people with existing conditions should always consult their doctor before starting any new activity. Of course, any exercise is better than none, so do what you can — and if you're up for the challenge, push a little harder to get your heart pumping. — Source: Cleveland Clinic's Wellness 360-5
Got asthma? Your pillow, a haven for dust mites, could be making matters worse. Wash your pillows regularly and replace them annually.
No matter how picky we are about our bunkmates, there will always be unwelcome visitors. Namely, dust mites. They love a warm environment like your bed just as much as you do. And since they snack on dead skin cells, they have no reason to leave. (We're guessing they never heard the saying about not relieving themselves where they eat.) Good news is, they're harmless unless you have allergies or asthma.
To keep their count down, wash your sheets in hot water regularly, and fluff your pillow in the dryer on its hottest setting. The most recent information on dust mites suggests using a combination of physical measures - including pillow and mattress covers, washing bedding in hot water and carpet removal - rather than chemical treatments. But be forewarned: at least three to six months of sustained intervention is necessary to show real benefit. That means you should put measures in place that you can sustain over time and expect symptoms to improve gradually.

My Mutt Program
Your pet has changed your life, in ways both big and small.
And our local rescues and shelters are changing the lives of countless animals who are still searching for their forever homes. Your donation can help these organizations keep their doors open, and make sure more pets – pets just like yours – find a permanent home.
It's important to Pet Food Express to call attention to the needs of these non-profits, while also saying "kudos" to those who have made donations, and one big way for us to do that is through our My Mutt posters. When you donate money (and let us know about it) we will celebrate your gift with a My Mutt poster of your pet displayed in one of our stores.
This is how it works:
Donate $250 or more to a non-profit, animal-focused organization of your choice.
Fill out the online information form and email, fax, or upload a copy of your donation receipt from the shelter or rescue.
One of our professional pet photographers will call to arrange a photo shoot of your adorable pet.
You choose the image, and we print a large, high-quality poster on UV-protected Sintra board.
Once it's on display in the store of your choosing, you get to see your pet every time you shop for food and supplies. (Next time you are in one of our stores, you can check out all the wonderful pictures of people's pets on the walls and in the windows.)
Some guidelines and information:
Despite its My Mutt name, any animal can appear on a poster: dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, birds – you name it! And of course, purebreds are included as well.
Those who donate $250 or more are guaranteed to see their poster displayed in the store for six months, and for a donation of $500 or more, the image is guaranteed to be up in the store for at least one year.
Multiple pets – whether photographed individually or together – are treated as distinctive My Mutts, each requiring its own donation. (Therefore a poster picturing two pets up in the stores for six months would require a $500 donation.)
Donations must be within the twelve months preceding the My Mutt application and must be in addition to adoption fees if the donation is occurring at the time of pet adoption.
Your donation should be sent directly to the organization that you are supporting, not Pet Food Express. We just need proof of your donation via a receipt.
While we will do our very best (we really will!) to place your poster in the best location possible, we unfortunately cannot guarantee store location or placement inside or outside of your assigned store. New posters will no longer be placed in the outward-facing windows of any store except SF- Stonestown and Los Gatos, as we are in the process of revamping our window displays company-wide.
VIP PetCare provides affordable veterinary care for pet lovers every weekend. You can bring your dog or cat to get vaccines, heartworm and fecal tests, pet microchip I.D.s, de-worming services, and more. More about services
