South Asia: Earthquake And Tsunami

Here is a link to Reliefweb that is compiling the latest information on the relief efforts for South Asia and Africa. You have many choices if you'd like to aid in relieving some of this terrible devastation.
Another sociologist has continued to lend his voice to the public. Todd Gitlin contributes, A Gathering Swarm, to Mother Jones in which he gives us his take on the rejuvenated energy from the political left. After the despair and depression (which can defuse the fire and stunt the growth of a movement) that followed the election, Gitlin's article is a welcome reprieve from doomsday prophecies. He puts the recent leftist movement in a more positive, yet realistic, perspective.
The rising was, in an immediate sense, kindled by George W. Bush. The same Republican juggernaut that shocked (but did not awe) most of the world in the course of a disastrous war succeeded in convincing many millions of Americans, at least for a while, that politics was not a specialized enthusiasm or a peculiar hobby but a necessity -- and not a necessity for somebody else but a necessity for them.
In this, Bush accomplished something remarkable: He coaxed the two divergent strands of the left, or liberalism, or progressivism, or whatever you want to call it, into the same insurgent republic and opened up the prospect of a historic resurrection. He convinced old-school Democratic wheelhorses and newly inspired activists, old pros and young amateurs, union faithful and vote mobbers, that if they did not hang together they would most assuredly hang separately.
Call these two forces the machine and the movement. Since the 1960s, the enfeebled Democratic machine and the marginal movement left had encountered each other -- if at all -- with acrid suspicion. They cracked apart 40 years ago, when college students who distrusted power went south to join blacks in overturning white supremacy while Chicago's Mayor Daley, a believer in power if nothing else, led his white, working-class base in fighting against Martin Luther King, and, later, against those same students as they revolted against the war in Vietnam. Because the Democratic Party didn't manage to amalgamate old and new politics -- cut to footage of Mayor Daley's gleeful cops smashing away at long-haired demonstrators -- it was crushed by the law-and-order alliance of old Republicans and resentful segregationists.
What is the future of this sort of hybrid politics? If the rising of 2004 was the best that the American left-of-center could put up against George Bush's radical provocation, what to conclude from the eventual defeat? That September 11 unleashed an invincible force in favor of Bush? That it was a near-miraculous feat to make such a race even close? That the gay marriage initiatives that the right got on the ballot and passed in 11 states boosted their mobilization more than any equivalent ploy, had there been any, could have helped the left? That the left doesn't think about wedge issues the way Republicans do, but it's time to start? That the right's lock on the old Confederacy, the prairie, and the mountains is insuperable unless the Democrats nominate a candidate with a twang?
In the tangle and promise ahead, much will depend on activist networks like MoveOn and America Coming Together, but also on lesser-known movement-party hybrids like Wellstone Action. A national effort to train political candidates, teach activists how to campaign, and turn out the vote, Wellstone Action is driven by the fierce desire to harness movement spirit to organizational force. Its director of education and advocacy, Pam Costain, knew Paul Wellstone for 30 years, starting as his student at Carleton College. She spoke to me of "the Wellstone triangle: base-building, electoral politics, and public policy. You have to work at the intersection." Wellstone Action trained 7,000 citizen-activists in 21 states in 2004.
Hummers drive me mad* (bad pun intended). My most violent fantasies (involving a sledgehammer and busted glass) have occurred when being accosted on the road in my little car by a massive Hummer even though I typically don't have a problem with road rage, and try to be a non-aggressive driver. My husband's Hummer fantasy includes a magic wand and the massive Hummer turning into a Micro Machine. His is funnier and more relevant because it gets at the entire point of the Hummer; it's enormous size.
I was browsing the New York Times tonight when I came across another article on research for medical marijuana. And like so many other articles I've read, it was about the government turning down a university's, in this case UMASS's, request to do research on the plant. I've posted on this issue before, but I think its time to visit it anew.
This article comes courtesy of Zsuzsa. Behrooz Ghamari is professor of sociology at Georgia State University.
What do you make of this?
An article in the NYTimes this morning covers the story of some currently active soldiers suing the federal government over the newly implemented "stop-loss" policy. What's clear is that people from various ideological points of departure are coming together to protest this policy.
Asked whether antiwar forces were instigating this lawsuit, Mr. Lobel, who like his co-counsel describes himself as openly opposed to the war in Iraq, laughed and said no. The soldiers and their families came on their own, he said.
"They were desperately looking for some way to solve their situations, and it looks like most of the people they found who were trying to counsel or represent people in their situation were antiwar people," Mr. Lobel said. "But to me, the most interesting aspect of this whole thing is that it's not a question of antiwar or pro-war. It's not a question of red states or blue states. This stop-loss question is just about fairness."
"The other thing," Mr. Qualls said, "is you've got thousands of people over there in the same situation as me and somebody's got to do something. Why not have it be me? I can't worry about what people will say."
Mr. Qualls is due back at his radio post on a base north of Baghdad this coming weekend. He said he hoped a judge would issue a temporary restraining order and allow him to stay home. But if he loses, he said, he will get on that plane.
The other night I was watching late night tv and I happened across a new version of "Gilligan's Island". This updated version is a cross between the syndicated television show and "Survivor" where two teams of Minnow castaways must compete for a spot as the REAL Skipper, Gilligan or Mary Ann. I was just about to turn the channel, because I've never liked "Survivor", when I saw one of the two competing Professors was named Professor Eric. Now here is the kicker: HE IS A SOCIOLOGY PROFESSOR!

Fibromyalgia: Aching for Pain Relief
Posted by Brigham and Women's Hospital November 19, 2013
Today's post is written by Dr. Edgar Ross, Director of the Pain Management Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH). The post was adapted from an article that appeared in the September issue of the newsletter published by the Osher Center for Integrative Medicine at BWH.
Fibromyalgia is a poorly understood syndrome that is quite common but can be difficult to diagnose and treat. The symptoms of fibromyalgia include widespread soft tissue pain, disturbed sleep, fatigue, and characteristic tender points that are multiple and diffuse. Conditions such as migraine headaches, chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, restless legs syndrome, and temporal mandibular joint dysfunction are often associated with fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia patients usually experience widespread pain and discomfort.
The processes within our bodies that can produce symptoms of fibromyalgia are not well understood. The leading theory suggests that the origins of fibromyalgia may relate to an over-reaction of the central nervous system to all types of sensation. These disturbances can have an impact on sleep. Sleep studies of patients with fibromyalgia frequently identify a lack of restful sleep.
Fibromyalgia can be difficult to diagnose because the signs and symptoms in patients can vary from visit to visit. In 1990, the American College of Rheumatology published a list of tender points that can be used to establish the diagnosis. Though laboratory testing is not useful for making a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, it can help rule out other conditions that mimic this condition.
Many patients who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia actually have myofascial pain (discomfort or pain in the muscles that control jaw function and the neck and shoulder muscles). The diagnosis of myofascial pain is made by the observation that the patient consistently has musculoskeletal pain in a localized area over time. Fibromyalgia and myofascial pain have different pathophysiologies (functional changes) underlying their pain and require different treatment approaches.
Fibromyalgia patients require treatment for their pain, depression, sleep deprivation, and rehabilitation focusing on physical activation and learning energy conservation. The guiding principle of treatment for fibromyalgia is a multidisciplinary approach. Therapies include:
- Medication: There are a number prescription medications that can be helpful in treating fibromyalgia, but medications alone usually are not effective enough.
- Exercise: An exercise program that emphasizes both aerobic conditioning and strengthening has been shown to be the most effective approach to improve both function and sleep patterns. Exercise has additional benefits, including antidepressant effects and improvement in a feeling of well-being. Because of the pain that is involved, starting an active regimen can be difficult. Combining social activities with an exercise program also may be helpful.
- Alternative therapies: Other therapies, such as acupuncture, nutritional counseling, movement therapy, massage, mindfulness-based stress reduction, and others, have been shown in clinical trials to be effective additions to exercise programs.
Other common treatment approaches for fibromyalgia consist of muscle reeducation (the use of physical therapeutic exercises to restore muscle tone and strength), energy conservation training, non-opioid pain medications, and psychological counseling.
With commitment and understanding on the part of health care providers, most patients with fibromyalgia can improve and return to more productive lives.

Degradation of octylbenzene sulfonate photoinduced by iron(III) aquacomplexes: Evidence for the fragmentation of the alkyl chain

The degradation of octylbenzene sulfonate (OBS) photoinduced by iron(III) aquacomplexes was investigated upon irradiation at 365 nm and by solar light. The photochemical degradation appears to be due to radicals arising from the electron transfer in . If oxygen does not affect the initial quantum yield of OBS degradation, it is necessary to pursue the reaction up to, first the complete disappearance of OBS and secondly OBS mineralization. The nature of the major photoproducts gives evidence for a competitive attack of radicals on the alkyl chain resulting in a shortening of the chain. Among the possible sites on the chain, hydrogen on the carbon in position with respect to the aromatic ring was the main point of attack with the formation of 4-acetylbenzene sulfonate and 4-carboxylicbenzene sulfonate.

Disney gets going on their own live-action Snow White
Now that there are two big-budget live-action versions of the classic fairy tale SNOW WHITE racing each other to the theaters, what we really need is... another one.
Disney is pushing forward with THE ORDER OF THE SEVEN, their martial arts variation of the story. Commercial director Michael Gracey will put the heroine into action.
The project, originally titled SNOW AND THE SEVEN, has actually been in the works for years (and often rewritten). It started out as an "East meets West" take on the tale, set in a British colony in China during the late 19th century and following a young woman believed by Shaolin monks to hold the key to the future within her deathblow-dealing hands.
Heat Vision says: "While the project is set in China, the warriors will be from locales near (the U.S.) and far (Russia), and each warrior will have a unique fighting style."
Francis Lawrence (I AM LEGEND, CONSTANTINE) and kung fu maestro Woo-ping Yuen (THE MATRIX, IRON MONKEY) had each previously been attached to direct. TOY STORY 3 screenwriter Michael Arndt is the latest to take a stab at the script.
Meanwhile, Disney faces competition from SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (due in June) and Relativity's SNOW WHITE, hitting first in March.

|Odd that the studio behind the iconic animated version of the fairy tale would be late to the party...

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes
Santa Fe, New Mexico was an unknown dream come true. I love tile. I love Spanish mission furniture. I love turquoise. I love Spanish tin art. I love religious iconography. This little town had it all.
We traveled to Santa Fe because I had a conference in Salt Lake City. We decided to fly into Albuquerque, and drive a few hours up to Santa Fe. We stayed in Santa Fe for a few days before heading on to Salt Lake City.
Turquoise Trail and The Hollar
The road that leads from Albuquerque to Santa Fe is called the Turquoise Trail. In the middle of the desert, you'll find random tiny towns. I mean 5 building-tiny towns. One of the restaurants, The Hollar, was in a tiny town called, Madrid. We enjoyed a delicious fresh lunch (Buffalo Quesadilla and Tempeh Salad), which was much needed after the long plane ride.
Hotel St. Francis
Once we reached Santa Fe, we unloaded our bags at our hotel, Hotel St. Francis, the oldest historic hotel in the town named for Santa Fe's patron saint. The hotel celebrates New Mexico history by sharing the story of the Franciscan missionaries' journey through New Mexico. It is filled with Spanish mission furniture, tin art, and religious iconography.
I love tile and there is a lot of tile to be seen around town. They line the walls of the buildings and the colors are bright and beautiful.
The Town
Santa Fe features many different kinds of architecture and building adornments than I am used to. The adobe architecture that radiates heat at night incorporates Spanish wood designs. Catalan flags adorn building fronts. Ristras, a string of dried chilies, hang from man homes and buildings.
We spent about two hours in Mediterrania, a shop that we accidentally stumbled in to. I was looking at the tile on the wall and leaned in to look at the continuation of tile. Once inside, the owner welcomed us and told us to feel 'at home'. I originally thought it was the kind of shop I couldn't afford things in, but there is a mix of very affordable reproduction pieces and antique (more expensive) pieces. The owner used to live in Spain and continues to travel back to find and refurbish antique pieces. He engaged my husband in conversation and entertained our many questions about the pieces for nearly an hour, while I engaged the owner's friend who was visiting that day in conversation about his former academic life. We had so many questions about the origins of the pieces and the owner was extremely knowledgeable about the pieces and the history of the regions of Spain that we asked about. He even gave us a restaurant recommendation for our last night in town (see below). We ended up purchasing a beautiful Catalan hand-pottery plate to hang on our wall. The owner shipped it to us and it arrived intact. It was the kind of experience we could have never planned to have, but one that we will never forget. I encourage you to stop in, see the history, discover something you didn't expect to, and engage in conversation about the history of Spain.
El Meson Restaurant and Tapas Bar
The best restaurant that we ate at is called El Mason Restaurant and Tapas Bar. This is was the perfect restaurant to enjoy on our last night in Santa Fe. We ate in the dining room and were seated in the back corner, which was nice and private. We had a wonderful waiter who was able to answer our questions about the wine and food. Bread and delicious Spanish olive oil were brought to our table to start. We ordered several different tapas- patatas bravas, olives, manchego and quince, and blood sausage. They were all delicious.

An English In Kentucky
Thursday October 31st 2013 Tim
The howl outside puts a perspective upon 'tool
making.' I am informed by the National Weather Service, a person
who this morning called himself 13, but who last night called himself
JS, that sometime this afternoon "loose outdoor items such as yard
decorations may be thrown around by the wind." And that "trees
might also be blown over."
Inevitably motorists are advised
to be wary of high sided vehicles. And naturally enough "Trick or Treating"
has been postponed by the city elders. No one wants a dressed up tot to be
sucked into the vortex unless WK something or other is present to record the
event. My own choice of outfit would have been beaked cap, bow tie, night
shirt, sandals with socks. Of course last night The Artist and I ate all the
treats, which is why I at least am belching like a Hippo this morning.

About North Georgia Canopy Tours
In 2001, the first of many ziplines began to sprout from the grounds surrounding the Old Mill Farm. The cows would inspect the strange contraptions quizzically, but they soon grew comfortable with the droves of smiling guests whooshing overhead. Today, spread across more than 100 acres near the North Oconee River in Lula, Georgia, North Georgia Canopy Tours lead groups on high-flying adventures. Available for purchase, photo packages and GoPros can commemorate the adventure. The tours entertain guests with serene views and exhilarating activities, as ziplines reach up to 70 feet off the ground and extend as far as 850 feet, allowing zipliners to catch glimpses of flying squirrels migrating south in V formation. Staff also welcome visitors to stay overnight in 15 campsites and several authentic Native-American teepees equipped with amenities such as electricity and air conditioning. The walls of each teepee bear custom-painted Cherokee symbols representative of the seven Cherokee Clans, for which North Georgia Canopy Tours' seven campgrounds are named.

I think actually this was always a tenet of Chassidus in some way. The Rebbe was much closer to G-d than the average person, who could only HOPE to achieve that level. So the next best thing would be to cling to the Rebbe.

Rabbitohs Set To Bound Into Decider

Greg Inglis scored in both matches against Manly this season. Picture: Mark Evans/dailytelegraph.com.au

Sea Eagles
The Rabbitohs can book a grand final berth for the first time since 1971 if they beat the Sea Eagles in their preliminary final clash at ANZ Stadium on Friday night. Souths have been amongst the two best teams in the NRL all year and can go one better than last year if they scrape past Manly, after suffering a 32-8 defeat to the Bulldogs at this stage of the competition twelve months ago. The Sea Eagles were also bundled out in the preliminary finals in 2012, going down 40-12 against eventual premier Melbourne.
Souths earnt a week off with its 20-10 victory over the Storm in a fortnight ago, giving Greg Inglis and co some time to battle injuries they have carried at the backend of the season. Coach Michael Maguire has named the same 17 man squad that did the job against Melbourne for this match, although he has added Ben Lowe, Luke Keary and Matt King to an extended bench.
Manly arguably had the better of things against the Roosters a fortnight ago, but went down 4-0 to the minor premiers before bouncing back with a 24-18 victory over the Sharks last Friday night. Brett Stewart missed that match with a hamstring problem but has been named at fullback by coach Geoff Toovey, with Peta Hiku dropping back onto an extended bench as cover for the former Blues custodian. With several players nursing niggling injuries following two tough matches, James Hasson and David Gower have also been added to the squad.
1st Tryscorer
Rabbitohs fullback Greg Inglis has been nursing a niggling knee injury in the second half of the season, but will have appreciated getting last weekend off. He has bagged 14 tries in 19 outings for Souths this season and was on the scoresheet in both previous meetings between these sides earlier this year, getting the first four pointer of their match in the round seven clash.
Manly skipper Jamie Lyon has been amongst the Sea Eagles best players this season and has played a huge part in his side reaching the final four. He hasn't got across the line in any of his past four outings but opened the scoring when these sides met last month.
Souths have been one of the best teams in the competition throughout the season and probably deserve to reach the decider but must first overcome a spirited Sea Eagles outfit. If Manly can reproduce the performance that they put in against the Roosters two weeks ago, they will make life difficult for the Rabbitohs, but Michael Maguire's troops will have learnt from last year when they froze on the big stage and can score their third victory over the Sea Eagles from as many meetings in 2013.

The world is always going through some interesting events, that's life.
Life is a work in progress, and problems are there to engage our brains
to find solutions. Once one problem is solved, rest assured, another one
always arises. God doesn't like us to be bored, I'm sure.
Constantly being engaged in the drama of life keeps us young, on our toes.
Today is nice and sunny here in Ilford, but it is slightly cold, about 9 deg C.
I was expecting two Latter Day Saints to visit me at 2 pm today.
Maybe I'm mistaken; maybe it is for tomorrow.
Anyway, I like talking with interesting people.
Till my next blog.

I've never been so tired in my life. After the conference ended yesterday, Ellen and I went out to the desert for a Trash the Dress session. We went to Valley of Fire National Park north east of Las Vegas. It was a spiritual experience. I've never been to a place with such natural beauty in my life. I've posted some photos from the shoot below. After the Valley of Fire we went to the airport for our trip home, consisting of a midnight flight to Cincinatti and a 9 a.m. flight to Rochester. I got home at 12:30 p.m. and took a two hour nap before heading to the studio. That has been the only sleep I've had in 39 hours. It's amazing how altered the world seems on such little sleep. Going to bed before I do a face plant on the keyboard.

Dear audience of Castlefest
I have some wonderfull memories I'd like to share with you:
I remember a magickal time when OMNIA played every year on the PaganNight we had created, as festival programmers, for YOU. The flames of the Wickerman, built with our own tiny hands , filled with offerings to the Gods of Nature... burning brightly as the spiritual centre piece to OMNIA's mass Ritual.
I remember Thousands of shiny happy faces of all religions and spiritual flavours reflected in the Deep ruddy glow of the giant fire-offering reliving the ancient vision of our Celtic ancestors and I still hear the Thousands of massed voices joined together chanting the words to "Auta Luonto" (Help me Nature , Give me Power make my blood run Strong and Stronger!) TOGETHER!
I remember helping to make a Festival for the Sun and for Love, organised and envisioned by two married couples who shared a dream (Natasha and Mark, Jenny and Steve). Where everybody respected each other a place where 90% of the first year's volunteers were all OMNIA fanclub members.
I remember a Place that still respected Animal Rights and Nature, where the Meat was ecological and the Carbon footprint was minimal. I remember hot sunny days with loooong signing-sessions of over 2 1/2 hours(!) , rows of waiting fans stretching out over half the terrain after our shows! (one OMNIA show each and EVERY day!)
I remember being humbled by the sound of your voices and the energy of your life washing over a main stage ... a stage I was proud to stand on then. I remember the deal we made together, "as long as there is a Castlefest, there will be an OMNIA playing there!" and I remember me promising this to YOU.
I remember inviting all my friends, Artists, Musicians, Actors to come and join the fun and the dream, to celebrate life and Nature together with us (and they did, many of them even came for free!)
I remember a festival where ALL artists were treated with respect and as equals (something we insisted upon as bookers for the festival)
I remember thinking I found a Home...
But alas... that's what all these beautifull sentiments are now... just memories. things change, apparently people change.
Sorry dear friends, dear people , my promise to you has been broken (not by me) with one simple email from my old friend Mark.
We cannot come where we are not invited, so we are blocked out of what used to be "our festival" (Natasha, Mark, Jenny and Steve) because we do not belong there (the Wickerman ritual, the neo-Paganism, the Logo I made and all the rest we gave freely apparently DO belong there, just OMNIA doesn't)
You will have probably heard many wild stories about why OMNIA is not at Castlefest by now (mostly stories originated by people who were not there at the start and never saw the change happen) and because the internet is full of "brave keyboard heroes" the stories are tall, grimy and pretty shitty for the most part. (I must be such a Bastard with an inflated Ego and demanding blue M&M's and footmassages or something...sigh)
But, as I have no wish to add my voice to these "brave people", I will not even bother to defend myself, Jenny and OMNIA. This message is just for the ones who have travelled from far to be there and who are now confused to find us missing...
Work it out for yourself why OMNIA is not there to join you, and who's ego has grown to large... It was a pretty dream while it lasted, but the world of commerce and marketing apparently does not work like that (something that is hard for a Shaman/Artist/Dreamer to understand), so sadly it was time for us to wake up to the truth about what our dream has become, now that it has become "grown up and succesfull" and doesn't need us anymore.
Goodbye Castlefest, goodbye Mark
Remember us some time when you're there ;-) Remember the good times we shared Remember when we found peace and unity together.
Shaman SteveSic
ps: one thing I've been wanting to say to all animal lovers for many years is this: All the meat sold by the big grill hasn't been ecological or animal friendly at all since Stenny quit the organisation, many many years ago! They just forgot to tell you all this for "economic reasons". phew! It feels good to finally be able to say that in public!
relive some good old memories here ;-) https://youtu.be/q4DHUDjUrK8

There is no better time to BUY than NOW! Avoid 2019 manufacturer price increases!
Why wait until Spring when it CAN be done in the Winter?
Avoid delays due to soft ground conditions and the road bans you face in the Spring.
Our professional movers deliver homes all winter long and often have less issues because of the stable ground conditions.
The screw pile installers are still going strong and our after-service team are happy when we can keep them busy all year round!
Sub-contractors are typically less busy in the winter, making them more likely to meet your schedule and they can continue to work in the snow, when they can't always in the rain.
The trades who can help you prepare your site and get your services in , work all year round.
Plus financing industry and government agencies slowdown in the winter months and can often get your approvals in place in shorter timelines.
Lucky for you, our homes are built completely indoors so they don't face the challenges of the winter elements and the timelines can stay on schedule.
Just think…you can do all the prep during the "dreary winter months" and have that jump start into Spring so you can do your decks and landscaping earlier and be enjoying your new home and yard for the best months of the year!

Roy DeCarava, best known for his stark images of African American life in Harlem during the mid-twentieth century, created a series of photographs documenting musicians and jazz culture during the 1950s and 1960s. Not content to capture dynamic artists in static poses, DeCarava instead sought to express the mood of jazz through nontraditional portraits. This gestural photograph of renowned tenor saxophone players John Coltrane and Ben Webster, likely taken while the men were on tour together in 1960, demonstrates the close musical and personal relationship they shared.

The best Video Streaming Services?
Netflix, Amazon, Sky and Wuaki jostle for position
Movies Article
349Traditional broadcast TV is still the nation's favourite way to consume programming but the rise of streaming services goes on unabated.
In fact, the choices of how, where and what we can watch seem to grow daily so we've put together this guide in an attempt to untangle the confusing world of online video streaming.
We couldn't possibly cover all the available services in the UK but we should have almost all the major players covered and we'll be concentrating our findings on five key areas - content, picture quality, availability, pricing and usability.
So where to start? Let's go to the Daddy of Internet TV…
Since Netflix began online streaming in 2007, it has grown its membership base to 44 million subscribers worldwide. That's a number that should speak volumes and we think the flat-fee £5.99/month, it currently costs UK residents, provides outstanding value.
It's not so much for the movie catalogue, which generally lags behind most of the competition in terms of up-to-date blockbuster titles, despite having some quality content - it's more about the vast array of TV box-sets available on the platform.
Netflix truly has something for everyone and, what's more, boasts some excellent original series exclusive to its members. The emmy-award winning House of Cards is no better example of that and with all thirteen episodes of the superb second season now available – even in 4K, for those that have capable hardware* - anyone that enjoys high-brow, top quality political drama should take a month's free trial just to check both seasons out. That's less than 1 episode per day – a trivial task for Netflix's army of binge-watching devotees.
*Netflix is partnering with Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, LG & others to bring a 4K streaming app to their HEVC decoder equipped Ultra HD TV line-ups in 2014.
"Tell them Russo, you can only see House of Cards on Netflix. And in 4K, if you're rich like me."
There are also some other top-notch, made-for-Netflix programmes on offer, including Orange is the New Black, Hemlock Grove and Lilyhammer to add to the catalogue of bought-in content such as the unmissable Breaking Bad and there's also an excellent array of kids programming and movies too.
The picture quality is also excellent by streaming service standards, and if you have an internet connection that can cope, the Super HD streams are a match for almost all broadcast HD TV. Netflix will soon start moving all their content to the next-gen HEVC compression format which will be good news, in terms of picture quality, regardless of resolution.
As for being able to access Netflix – if you don't have a capable device, you must have somehow travelled back through time, as it's available on PC, iOS, Android, Apple TV, Linux, Roku boxes and just about every Smart TV platform in existence including Samsung, LG, Sony, Panasonic, Toshiba… the list goes on.
Usability is also excellent, particularly with the New User Experience, and there are legal (at least not illegal) means by which you can access the Netflix catalogues from other countries. This is particularly useful for the more extensive range of US TV show boxsets available through American Netflix, although we have to say that most people will be more than satisfied with what's on offer from our 'native' Netflix service.
Picture quality wise, Super HD on Netflix takes some beating.Amazon Instant Video
What used to be known as LOVEFiLM in the UK, has now been rebranded as Amazon Prime Instant Video. The online retail giant amalgamated its video streaming business with its subscription based, next-day-shipping retail scheme. For existing Prime members this is good news as it means, until renewal date, they get unlimited access to the Prime video content but for new subscribers it has increased the entry-fee.
An annual Amazon Prime membership now costs £79, or about £6.58 monthly, but you aren't able to split the fee into instalments, which perhaps might be significant. Five or six pounds, here and there, isn't going to be missed by most on a monthly basis but asking the customers to stump up the best part of eighty quid, up front, is a gamble on Amazon's behalf.
To entice folks in to parting with such a sum Amazon is going to need to at least rival Netflix's wealth of content and they are certainly upping their game, of late. Prime's first original series, Alpha House, is a serviceable and clever political comedy with a likeable cast and it is soon to be followed by six more made-for-Prime exclusives, all shot in 4K.
Amazon is beefing up its own exclusive and original content too with some focus on vicious folks in boats. Pirates and Vikings is a compelling mixture!
Amazon has also bagged a deal to make all episodes of '24' exclusively available for streaming on Prime and it's the only place where all series of The Shield can currently be watched as part of a subscription. Other shows you won't see elsewhere outside of a traditional TV package are Black Sails and the superb Vikings, which has just been commissioned for Season 3.
We still don't think Prime has quite the same depth of quality content as Netflix and their streaming technology is also less refined. That said, since the merger with Prime, there is more up-to-date content available to rent or buy. For instance, right now you can rent the HD versions of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Frozen at £4.49 for a 48hr period or 'own' them in HD for £13.99 We're trying to keep this guide to all-you-can-eat services but at least you know the option is there.
You can watch Prime Video in nominal 1080p quality, through some devices, but in our experience it doesn't rival Netflix Super HD and is also far more prone to annoying pauses for buffering, especially since the merger with Prime. Hopefully Amazon will bolster their servers sooner rather than later but, for now, it can be a slightly frustrating user experience.
It's also irksome that Amazon refuses to provide an Android app for the service in an attempt to steer folks toward their Kindle Fire tablets – where it is available – and, more recently, their Apple TV/Roku/Chromecast rivalling FireTV box, which should be released in the UK sometime in 2014.
Amazon Instant Video is currently available through some, but not all, Sony, Samsung and LG Smart TV products as well as the current and last gen PlayStation, Xbox and Wii consoles. There is an iOS app as well and, of course, you can get it through the majority of Kindle (HD) tablets and your browser but it's certainly not as ubiquitous as Netflix and the interface, regardless of device, isn't so refined or intuitive.
Amazon needs to spend money on their servers to stop buffering niggles.Wuaki TV
A relatively new entrant to the UK market is Wuaki TV and they are certainly making a good start in terms of ensuring their app is widely supported. At present the service is available through some LG, Panasonic and Samsung Smart TVs and boxes as well as through browsers, Android & iOS apps and Xbox 360 and One consoles.
Like Netflix, Wuaki TV is priced at £5.99 a month but also, like Amazon, offers rental and 'ownership' deals. The big problem we have with Wuaki is the interface which doesn't always make it abundantly clear what you can watch as part of your subscription or is going to cost you extra. In theory, going to your 'Selection' content should display what is part of the monthly deal but you will find that it's all mixed up once you drill down in to 'TV Series' and 'Movies'. So, for instance, we selected Breaking Bad but were told it would cost £14.99 a month to buy and there is no HD version on offer.
Wuaki needs work on the interface.
In fact there is nowhere near the range of what we would consider unmissable TV series, when compared to the rest, included in the monthly cost although there are a few gems such as Twin Peaks hidden away but our recommendation would be to let Wuaki mature a little more before taking out a subscription.
In terms of picture quality, Wuaki also doesn't reach the highs of Netflix Super HD and looks effectively 720p on the HD streams, at best, but our recent experiences have found it to be less prone to the buffering issues affecting Amazon Instant. Wuaki certainly has a massive challenge on its hands to establish marketshare in the UK and really needs more high profile series' to be part of the monthly subs if it's going to flourish.
Game. Of. Thrones. There's three words to set your average TV addict in to a state of frenzy but the fact it has always been a Sky Atlantic exclusive has meant the only means of watching it, outside of a Sky package subscription, have been relatively expensive. Of course, GoT isn't the only hugely desirable series that forms part of HBO's exclusivity deal with Sky and there are plenty of others including True Detective, Banshee and Boardwalk Empire to name a few more.
This is where NOW TV comes in. For a flat fee of £4.99 a month, NOW TV offers access both live and on-demand, to Sky's entertainment package with programming from Sky 1, Sky Atlantic, Sky Living, Discovery, Sky Arts, MTV and more. NOW TV also gives you access to certain TV boxsets as part of the package so, at the time of writing, you can currently view all 3 seasons of Game of Thrones, in addition to the 30 day catch-up period for the new Season 4 instalments. For less than a fiver, we think it's quite compelling value but mileages will vary depending on what is available through catch-up at a particular point in time."I wish I had Sky Atlantic!"
Cheer up Daenerys, NOW TV is here!
Speaking of which, from a picture quality standpoint, it's always best to view from on-demand than through the live IPTV simulcasts as you get a native 720p, rather than the SD resolution offered through the live service. For TV series, 720p isn't so bad, although the bigger screen you have, the more you are likely to notice its quite heavily compressed and therefore subject to some blocking and banding artefacts.
Additionally, NOW TV has a movies catalogue which can be accessed in unlimited supply for £8.99 per month. We have to say we don't find that to be quite such rip-snorting value and for the must-see titles [email protected] frames per second just doesn't cut it in comparison to the 1080p24 Blu-ray equivalents. We find it provides greatest value during the school holidays as NOW TV does have an excellent selection of kids movies, including dozens of Disney's finest and the user interface is also so easy that a child wont struggle.
We also like the fact that you are able to set parental guards against your little ones getting at unsuitable content – and the same goes for Amazon – and we hope Netflix soon adds the same facility over locking profiles and more adult material. As it stands, there's nothing to stop your little angel getting in to your profile and firing up some Breaking Bad or Borgia.
Sky offers some generous bundle deals from time to time and one can currently go and pick up a NOW TV box with 5 months movies subscription for £34.99 month, or pay the same price and get 6 months on the Entertainment package, also with the box bundled.
NOW TV has some great bundle offersThe NOW TV box isn't the only way to access NOW TV, however, and it can be used on all the Roku boxes, new LG Smart TVs (3 months free intro offer), PS3, Xbox 360, iOS, Android, Apple TV and YouView but, confusingly, not all NOW TV services are available on all devices. For example, you can only get the £9.99/day Sport pass on the Apple TV – and not the Entertainment or Movies – whilst YouView is restricted to Sports and Movies but no Entertainment.
That actually raises a question about which devices offer the most complete selection of on-demand services which we'll address in another article but the short answer is the last-gen (PS3/Xbox 360) consoles, at present, at least if you ignore the fact you need a Xbox Live Gold subscription for the 360 and both are noisier than dedicated streaming devices such as the Roku 3.
Hopefully we've helped you unravel what the UK's most popular unlimited streaming services have to offer and brought you closer to a decision as to where to spend your money. Of course, the only real answer to get at the widest possible selection is to have them all but if you tied our arms behind our backs and forced us to choose one, it would be Netflix but both Amazon and Sky could certainly have a case made for them, depending on what you want to watch, and on what you will be watching it on.

10 Wonder Boy in Monster World
An epic, engrossing and enjoyable mash-up of platforming and RPG. Lots to see and do, items to collect and monsters to bash. A great game in a great (if somewhat barmy) series.
9 Comix Zone
It's a shame the Sega Technical Institute didn't make more games, really. This innovative game put you in the shoes of Sketch Turner, wannabe comic-book artist who is sucked into his latest creation and has to fight his way out. Playing out as a mix of scrolling beat-em-up and platformer, it's brutally hard but also incredibly innovative and fun if you can handle the steep difficulty curve.
8 Story of Thor
Got a Mega Drive? Missed out on Legend of Zelda? No worries – Story of Thor is an excellent action RPG. Arguably, I'd say this has the edge, with at least as much depth in this title as Nintendo's franchise.
7 Earthworm Jim
In the endless battles between the SNES and the Mega Drive, Nintendo's console came out on top quite a few times. However the definitive 16-bit version of Shiny's platforming gem is the Mega Drive version. Taking advantage of their experience with the console Shiny were able to wring extra performance out of Sega's machine. A great platformer, and damn funny too…
6 Phantasy Star IV: The End of the Millennium
An utterly epic and sprawling JRPG. The culmination of the series on the Mega Drive, and probably the best installment in the series. It added lots of new ideas to a formula that was getting a bit stale, and if it's longevity you're after then you can't go wrong with this.
5 Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master
The best game in the series, Shinobi III is an awesome, epic action platformer. Breathtakingly beautiful and tough to beat, it's one of the best platformers on the Mega Drive.
4 Castlevania Bloodlines
A classic Castlevania adventure for the Mega Drive, this game was heavily censored when it came to Europe and the US (boo!). Nonetheless it's a fine entry in a strong series, and well worth a go. Provided you don't mind the legendary Castlevania difficulty!
3 Gunstar Heroes
Treasure were geniuses. We would have put Dynamite Headdy in this top 10 if it weren't so mind-bendingly crazy. Marginally more sane (only marginally, mind) is their seminal platform shooter Gunstar Heroes. A brilliant, tough, inventive game – there's something new around every corner. If you've got a Mega Drive, you need this game…
2 Streets of Rage 2
The best Streets of Rage game, and possibly the best scrolling beat-em-up ever. It improved on the original in every way possible, with better special attacks, longer levels and much more variety. The slightly dingy graphics of the original have been overhauled too, and the whole package just feels right…
1 Sonic the Hedgehog 2
There were a fair few Sonic games on the Mega Drive, but for our money this one's the best. It added so much to the series – Tails, two-player, Super Sonic. The design is also better, so the levels are more enjoyable and intuitive. No wonder it's the best-selling Sonic game, and the best-selling Mega Drive game, as well as being our best Mega Drive game of all time!

Control open pores: Mix tomato juice with honey. Leave it on your face for 10 minutes, and rinse.
Toner: Cabbage or tomato juice, mixed with rose water, make excellent toners.

Use this mask at least twice a week.

Thin white lines on a lush green background make up today's design. This is Interlocking Diamonds:
This design started as an embroidery pattern. I stitched those white lines with white thread onto a pretty golden yellow napkin. I would show it to you if I had any idea where it is right now. Somewhere in the craft supply closet. Cleaning that out is a project on my long list of things to do. For now, I have this design. Hooray!
For fabric, gift wrap, and wallpaper, visit my Spoonflower shop.
Cut-and-sew patterns, like the kimono top above, are available from Sprout Patterns.
Furniture, kitchen linens, and pillows can be found in my Roostery shop.
For tote bags, pouches, curtains, and more, visit my Society6 shop. Those curtains are a new item at Society6. So cool!
Journals, finished clothing, bags, and such are available in my RedBubble shop.
Until next time,

Nimue Alban, once a soldier in the war against the aliens, has now been entirely reborn as Merlin Athrawes through a personality download. He serves as advisor and bodyguard to the king, and is considered a mystic by many. Only King Cayleb and a few of his most trusted associates know the truth - Merlin is a cyborg, brought back to life to save humanity from a terrible peril they have no idea exists. But the Kingdom of Charis is at war - not just with other kingdoms, but with a far worse enemy - the corrupt Mother Church Herself.
My feelings about the book can best be summarized with the following: "Enh."
It was definitely not as good as the previous book. It wasn't bad, but it just didn't engage my brain the same was the previous book did. Yes, it was engrossing, but something was missing. It all seemed too easy. So easy to tell who the good guys and bad guys are... Weber's casual One-True-Wayism about capitalism, patriarchy, democracy, and the US is just... really annoying at times, and it marred my enjoyment of the book in this case. Three stars, a C- in the new system.
I kind of want to just read a recap of future books in this series, rather than investing all that time.

Tue, 10 November 2015
Pamela Wilson is someone I've been wanting to talk to for years, because when it comes to building an online brand, creating online courses, and blogging, she is so on point and always has been. She is now Executive VP of Educational Content, Rainmaker Digital, directs the Copyblogger blog, and runs her own property, Big Brand System.
Pamela started her blogging journey around 2009. What she thought she wanted to do was to write a book, but she soon discovered Copyblogger's Teaching Sells course, and the rest is history. This discovery changed her course.
Even though she had done very little writing, her willingness to get out there attracted the attention of the people at Copyblogger, namely Brian Clark. It turns out that none of what has happened was part of her original game plan, and that is what makes her story so interesting.
We talk about building an audience, branding, and all things Copyblogger. We also drill-down into the mechanics of building a solid online presence. And this is what Pamela excels at—teaching others how to build an attention-getting online brand.
We not only talk through branding, but also get into all the changes she's gone through over the years, including a big move to Nashville, Tennessee.
Pamela has dialed back the intensity of her own Big Brand System. But her system was originally built for those who want to do their own marketing and don't know where to start. She is brilliant at boiling down the art and science of branding and marketing, making the process easy to understand and implement. So, if you're a solopreneur looking to build an online brand, you'll want to listen to this discussion.
What you'll learn:

Don DeLillo came into my life when I was 25. I had heard whisperings of his name by different folk artists I followed and my best friend would mention him and his work nearly every time reading was brought up in conversation. Sometime shortly after my 25th birthday, I wandered into Borders looking for something new to read and there he was, staring back at me in a 25th Anniversary edition cover: White Noise by Don DeLillo. I picked it up and haven't looked back since.
White Noise was the defining moment in my adult life. I've always dreamed of being a writer and I lost almost all of that dream when I left for college. It wasn't until 25 that I found myself careening back towards it and White Noise was what threw me back at it full throttle. DeLillo has this way of defining and describing our most internalized fears as a person and as society that it feels as if he's talking directly about you. White Noise is the true embodiment of that. It didn't just make me want to be a better writer, it forced me to take notice of everything around me and realize that being an adult isn't what we've been told. It's not about the house or the car or the kids, it's not about the job or how much money you have (or don't), it's about finding the things in life that make us feel full and to appreciate, if only for a moment, the things that make us truly happy. I go back to White Noise once a year to remind myself how far I've come and to let me know I still have so much farther to go.

Coleman 14×10 Foot 8 Person Instant Tent
The Coleman Instant 8 person 14- by 10- Foot tent is perfect for larger families or groups of friends.
It has plenty of room for up 8 adults inside it and there are two separate rooms. The walls are straight and there is 6′ 5″ of headroom at the center.
If you want, you can remove the divider and have just the one large room.
There are two doors and seven windows, which provide easy access and excellent ventilation. When the weather turns bad, all of the fabric and materials used are designed and manufactured using Coleman's unique "WeatherTec" system – so the tent will keep you dry as a bone in the rain.
- Spacious 8-person, 2-room tent designed for quick assembly, 2011 Model
- Poles come pre-attached to tent, ensuring setup in 1 minute or less
- Exclusive WeatherTec system with thick waterproof walls and welded floor
- 2 doors and 7 windows for full ventilation; removable divider between rooms
- Base measures 14 by 10 feet; center height of 6 feet 5 inches; 1-year warranty
You might suppose that, given the size of this tent, putting it up would be a bit of a chore. It's certainly a task that is better performed by two people (although it can be done by one person on their own if necessary), simply because of the size of the beast, it's surprisingly quick and easy to do.
Check out the short video below which shows how this tent can be up in less than 30 seconds!
Admittedly that setup was done by a couple of Coleman employees. It seems fair to suppose that they might have had just a little practice at putting their own tents up.
However, even if you are somewhat slower than these experts, you can see that it's surprisingly easy and fast to get this baby set up. I'm sure you could manage it in a few minutes at most – which is pretty impressive for such a massive eight person tent!

text: This by far my favorite long board model. The Criterion is an outline that pays homage to the profiled noses of early long boards. The pulled in nose sleeks the outline and reduces forward volume without altering the width measurement of the nose. Allowing the surfer to retain volume without drag. The featured board is dressed up with a smoke tint and fabric inlay, both are hardly necessary. However together they look damn good. At 9'8 x 23 x 3 this board's short tear dropped nose concave and rolled bottom make it one amazing nose rider.

There are things that you are aware of that are bad for your skin and there are some things you are not aware of but you should be. Everyday we do some things that contribute to the well being of our skin, like putting on our moisturizer, showering after working out, but we do the opposite too – did you know that showering with hot water is actually very bad for your skin, as it dries the skin out and removes the natural oils? We gathered some of the things that you might be unaware of, that are not good for your skin and that you do every day. It's never too late to learn something new and useful. Scroll down, stop doing these things and tell us what you think!
1. Too Much Chlorine
via ideasgn.com
Heading to the pool often? Make sure you bring your loofah with you. Chlorine can be bad for your skin so don't forget to shower and scrub your body to get rid of it. Even after showering at home, chlorine can cling to your skin and react with lotions, cleansers etc if you don't scrub properly.
2. Drinking Too Much Coffee
via galleryhip.com
Coffee has awesome positive impact on your organism like regulating blood pressure, energy boost etc. but having it too much and too often can cause wrinkling and dry skin. When drinking coffee make sure you have a glass of water too.
3. Skipping Meals
Skipping meals is the worst thing you can do to your body and to your skin. By skipping meals you overeat the next one. And how does skipping meals affect your skin? This habit causes the skin to age faster and to dry out more often. Make sure to include vitamins such as C,E,A to improve your skin health.
4. Hot Showers
As mentioned above, showering with hot water will wash off the natural oils from your skin and will leave it dry and cracked. Shower with lukewarm water and after showering you have 2 minutes to apply moisturizer while your skin pores are still open and absorptive.
5. Talking On The Phone
via confused.com
The surface of the phone is prone to bacteria attaching to it. That bacteria will cling to your face and cause pimple outbreaks. If you have pimples along your jawline and cheeks, it's a sign that you should clean your phone. Always wear antibacterial wipes with you and clean your phone at least 2 times a day.
6. Hair Products On Your Face
via babymed.com
Hair products can be very harmful to your sensitive skin. Next time you apply hairspray, put a towel on your face to protect it. When you go to the gym, wear a sweat band to prevent the sweat and the hair products sliding down to your face.
7. Eating Too Much Sodium
via globe-views.com
Sodium is necessary for our survival- it is in our blood stream, it is important for proper muscle and nerve function and regulating blood pressure. But Sodium in big quantities it can be bad for your skin. It can suck the water from your skin and will leave it dull and dry. Avoid salty foods and apply moisturizer frequently.
8. Dirty Pillowcases
via expedia.com.au
Change the pillowcases as often as you can. Dead skin cells, dirt and other toxins cling to the pillowcases and at night they go back to your skin causing bacterial infections, acne and other unwanted things. An important factor is the material the pillowcase is made of, make sure you sleep on a pillowcase that is made of natural fabrics such as cotton and silk.
9. The Sauna
via youqueen.com
A stay at the sauna longer than 12 minutes can be dreadful to your skin. In time the sauna will cause sagging because it will break down skin elasticity and the collagen production in the skin. Avoid the sauna and steam room if you want to preserve your skin.
10. Waxing Too Often
via harmony.si
Wax can be your skin's enemy if you over do it. Waxing too often can increase skin bumps. Don't grab your wax every time a new hair grows. Give your skin a break at least 3 weeks before waxing the same spot again, especially when i comes to the sensitive parts.
