Robert Nutt - Between running a successful consulting business and several volunteer commitments, Robert Nutt manages to fit in downhill skiing, long-distance bike rides and marathons. But a cycling accident almost put an end to his active lifestyle, tearing almost every ligament in his left knee. Robert started physical therapy uncertain if he'd ever be able to race again. Dr. Steven Chudik performed a five-hour surgery to repair the damage and Robert spent the following five weeks in a brace. Determined to return to his former level of activity, he fully committed to the rehabilitation program designed for him by Adventist Orthopedic Care's recovery team. After six months, he began biking one to two miles a day to start. Before long, he was working towards running a marathon. Today, Robert continues to compete in several marathons and long-distance rides a year, as well as downhill skiing without reservation.

Although you probably don't want to, spending money is necessary sometimes – but you do have a choice about where your money goes.
Living a frugal lifestyle has not always come naturally to me, but after making the switch from being a spender to a saver almost 4 years ago, my life has become much less stressful.
I no longer worry about coming up with the money to pay bills, I can always buy a pair of shoes once mine are worn and need replacing and there's always money in our emergency fund in case something bad were to happen to us, financially.
The reason that we no longer struggle with money is because refuse to spend it on things that aren't completely necessary.
"Happiness is making the most of what you have." Click to Tweet this!
These are 10 things we don't spend money on:
1. Warranties: I don't think I've ever actually used any warranty that I paid for, so for the past 4 years now I haven't paid for any at all. In my opinion, they're a waste of money for most things.
2. Books: We get most of our books from the library these days. They have so many books (and movies, music and magazines!) available for FREE. If I find a book that I really enjoy, I will "buy" it – through Amazon. I redeem most of my Swag bucks for Amazon.ca credit and usually spend it on books that I like – and kitchen gadgets.
3. Magazine Subscriptions: Is it just me, or do most magazines just consist of ads? I haven't read a good magazine in years (except "Real Simple" – I love that one!). My husband has a magazine subscription for The Economist, but we got that for free with some WagJag credit that I had.
4. Family Outings: We take advantage of all of the free activities we can do locally, such as parks. Luckily, there are a lot of nice places around us that we regularily visit for free.
5. Water at Restaurants: It's not often that we go out to eat at restaraunts, but when we do, I always order a water to drink. Most restaurants make the majority of their profit from beverages because they are priced so high, so I never buy them and just stick to water.
6. Cleaning Supplies: I get most of our cleaning supplies for free with coupons, so it's very rare that I will buy them while out shopping. I have also been trying to make more of our cleaners at home, usually from vinegar and baking soda (you can clean pretty much anything with those 2 items alone).
7. Gym Membership: Not only do I not have the time (or the discipline!) to go to the gym on a regular basis, I am simply not willing to pay the outrageous prices to join one. We stay active by going for long walks. I also really love my 30 Day Shred DVD for days that I am not able to get outside.
8. Car Payments: We decided a few years ago that we would never take on a loan to get another car. When the time comes that our current vehicle needs replacing, we will pay cash. Since we are not saving for a car right now (and are instead saving for a home of our own), we would use our emergency fund if we needed to replace our van in a hurry (if we were in a car accident and the car was totalled, for example).
9. Fancy Home Decor: With a toddler in the house that wants to grab everything he sees, it's been awhile since I've had anything nice in the house. All of my favourite decor pieces are packed away for when the kids are older. Our couches are more than 5 years old and in dire need of replacing, but I refuse to get anything new until we move (so we can get the perfect size for our home).
Plus, it's just not worth it to have nice things that will just get ruined by messy toddlers!
10. Store-bought Baked Goods: I make most of our baked goods from scratch, so I never usually buy pre-made baked goods from the store. Not only are they usually very expensive, but I personally find that baking (and cooking) usually results in much tastier food.
The list can go on and on, but those are the main things that we don't spend our hard-earned cash on.
There are certain areas that we splurge, but for the most part, right now we are focused on saving as much of our money as possible – so we avoid the items on this list in order to do so.
I'd much rather sacrifice now to live a better life later.

After Completing a five day IKI Krav Maga seminar organized by Fred Heins of Tilburg, I took a few days to see some of the history of this country known as the Netherlands but known to most outsiders as Holland.
I was their for several important days, Queens Day - Koniningdag, Memorial Day and Freedom from the Nazis Day - Bevsridingsdag.
The people of the Netherlands still take these days very seriously.
Memorial Day for victims of Nazism during World War Two- Tweede Wereldoorlog.
Fred and Joelle took me to this amazing, somewhat unknown, site. The fact that all the exhibits have only Dutch is indicative that not many tourists from outside the Netherlands come here.
Joelle at Camp Vlucht learning the history of this shameful place.
The names of the children are the missing spaces in the iron wall, symbolizing that they are gone forever. Among the names is Louise Katz, 6 jaar (six years old), as well as many Klein names (my mother's maiden name). The monument hits close to home!
"The child is gone, and I, where should I go?"
Over 1800 Jewish children were at camp Vucht, they were sent to Sobibor concentration camp where they were killed. They ranged in age from six days to 18 years old.
Wheel-barrel used to carry dead bodies of inmates
Ovens were Jews were burnt.
When the camp was liberated ashes of human beings were found. They were given a proper burial here. On Memorial Day many wreaths were laid here, including this one from the people of Israel!
At this site in the forest 350 of the inmates were shot.
See the synagogues of Meerssen and Maastrict
Netherlands Jewish Sites
The World War II Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial is the only American military cemetery in the Netherlands. Netherlands American Cemetery lies in the village of Margraten, 6 miles east of Maastricht.
8,301 soldiers are buried there under long rows of white crosses and stars of David. All graves are adopted by locals, who attend the graves and lay flowers. My friends Serve, Armanda and Eva have adopted three graves. It is truly touching to see Eva, only twelve years old, know exactly where her three guys are. They are like family members. On Memorial Day the place was packed, entirely by Dutch speaking locals who have come to visit the soldiers they have adopted. Many years have passed since the war ended by the locals have not forgotten the sacrifices of these men.

Kaleidescape Prevails in DVD Copying Suit
While the trial was originally thought to test the boundaries of "fair use,", Judge Leslie C. Nichols of the Santa Clara Superior Court merely ruled that the company had met its obligations to the CCA under its license agreemnet.
The judge also noted Kaleidescape's good faith efforts to satisfy the contract, the company said.
"Kaleidescape has been operating in the shadow of the DVD CCA's allegations for over three years," said Michael Malcolm, founder, chairman and chief executive of Kaleidescape, in a statement. "We are gratified that after hearing all of the evidence, the Judge has completely vindicated our position."

Last night, I headed to the mall to pick up a few things from Sephora for today's trip. After I purchased the very cool Makeup Forever Aqua Cream, I just happened to wander through Nordstrom. They had a bunch of cute stuff , and some very interesting shoes. On the way out the door, a rack of sale tee shirts caught my eye. All it took was feeling how soft they were, and after a quick decision on color I had the tee in hand and was out the door.
This t-shirt from Bobeau is, simply, awesome. The front is double layer, which means it hangs well and doesn't display every lump or bump on your tummy. It's also incredibly soft. The length is one of my favorite things—it comes down to my hips, which is quite a feat with my long torso. The V-neck is flattering on large busted gals, but not even close to showing cleavage. In short, this is the perfect tee. And right now a bunch of colors are only $25!! I got the turquoise, of course, but will likely go back for the black and the white. I'm wearing it today for my trek to the East Coast, and couldn't be happier. Unfortunately, it seems to be unavailable online! Bummer. It's worth a trip to Nordstrom if you are near one, because this tee is that great.

Peace Be With You
// September 15th, 2008 // Blog
A place of peace.
Lying on an open plain.
Cool grass beneath bare feet.
Arms outstretched above your head.
One hand playfully fiddles with smooth blades.
The other strokes long, soft, silky strands of hair.
A slight smile rests gently on your lips.
Eyes closed, but filled with light.
A light that shines so brightly.
But doesn't burn your eyes.
It bathes your face like a warm embrace.
Imagine this moment…
A moment of peace.
Not a care.
Not a worry.
Not an ounce of stress.
The light envelopes you.
Makes you.
Loves you.
Then you realise…
The sky is not a canopy of blue atmosphere.
But the Throne of Ar-Rahman.
And the light is not that of a brilliant star.
But the Noor of the One that you have craved for all eternity.
And that this is no ordinary garden.
But it is the only place of true peace.
Your real home.
Your Jannah.
Waiting for you to return…

Awesome, just awesome masha Allah.
Consider breaking it up into stanzas, especially the descriptions vs. realizations part – it would make it even more powerful! Masha Allah, keep it going sister.

This is a beautiful poem, it reminds me of the other day, i went outside to watch the sun set, and I saw the most beautful clouds they were hiding the sun so they were a glowing gold color and faded into a glowing pink they were so beautiful I shed some tears and I said Subhannallah :)
MashaAllah. This is simply beautiful. Ameen to all the du'aas.
This is amazingly beautiful! Masha Allah :)
JazakumAllah khair for all of your kind comments. I took your advice, AbdelRahman!

My Turn: More Than Just Reading Aloud
I remember being amazed nearly two decades ago that I could read a bedtime book to my son Jake while my mind was elsewhere, thinking about all the things that remained to be done before I could go to sleep.
Today, we'd all routinely call this kind of thing multi-tasking, but I've often wondered whether I was really doing Jake a service. I knew that it was important to read to him; research shows that reading to kids is the best way to guarantee that they'll become lifelong readers. But I wonder now if perhaps there wasn't a better way to put my son to sleep.
Here's a suggestion if you share my quandary: Talk about a book with your child.
Most of us are so concerned with getting kids to sleep that we resist doing anything to stimulate them, praying that the drone of "Good night room. Good night moon. Good night cow jumping over the moon" will put them down.
It doesn't have to be like that.
Picture books often contain puzzles that intrigue children. Take Dr. Seuss's zany book The Cat in the Hat. After you've read about all the things that cat has done while the kids' mother is away, you might ask, "Do you think the Cat in the Hat is real?" The notion that the two children might have invented the cat may surprise you. But what else could account for the wild antics that appeared to take place while their mother was away and had left them on their own? Clearly, this is a book from an earlier era of parenting!
Once your children consider whether the Cat is just a product of the children's imaginations, you might go on to ask how they can tell if something is real or imagined, whether they have imaginary friends, or whether their teddy bear ever really talks to them.
Using reading time as thinking time will enrich the bedtime experience for both of you. Not only will you connect with your children, but you'll also give them an opportunity to think about and come to terms with questions and issues in their own lives that might be difficult to understand.
Many picture books pose mind-bending issues. For example, Leo Lionni's beautifully illustrated book Frederick raises the question of why some people's work is physically exhausting while other people get to just sit around and think.
Picture books are beloved, in part, because they can focus on profound issues in a charming, non-threatening way. Once you begin to take the books seriously, you'll see their interesting intellectual puzzles. So tonight, when you lie down to read that story for the thousandth time, ask your child to think about whether a cow really could jump over the moon.

Craig and I made the final decision to go for the monster route on the drive up. Why hike just one creek when there might be just enough daylight hours to explore two?
As expected, the Dome parking lot was windy and chilly when we rolled in around 8:30, a stark contrast to the sizzling weather in the lower elevations.
To avoid the briers and rabble of the overlook clearing, we headed a few yards over to the spruce and dropped steeply down the mountainside. We skirted giant…Continue

I've been there many times over the last 50 years or so and it has changed less than any other place I can think of. The first full day we were there we hiked Hemphill Bald Trail. We went to the Bald and back. It was an easy 9 mile trail except that on the return trip it started raining. We were equipped though, we had…Continue

Our primary goal on this particular trip was to locate and photograph three orchids in the same general area - a quite remote area. We found one, and it was blooming. We found the second one, but we were too early and it only had buds. We did not find the third because thunder cracking over our heads ran us back to our vehicle. The day did not lend itself to fantastic views because of low-hanging clouds and fog. We were reminded why they are called the Smokies:…Continue

It was really kind of nice to have a while to myself just sitting by the river with my dog and listening to the water and enjoying the cool air. I also had another bit of company.

But sometimes it is nice to find ways to avoid them and to find peace and tranquility in the mountains anyway.

HI everyone, thanks for all the replies to my post about the Alford Parris home place on Indian Creek. I need to clear up something, My G-G-Grandfather took over the Parris place around 1909. His name was Jehu Coloumbus Kitchen. I have several documents with his real name on them including my grandfathers birth certificate, so I am sure that was his real name. Thanks for all your input, Ray Kitchen

He was forced to leave when the Park bought his land. I have one picture of him and his family on the farm. His name was Jehu Coloumbus Kitchen, most records show him as J.C. or John Kitchen. He got the farm from his father-in-law Alford Washington Parris. My grandmother and my father were born on that farm. There is still a graveyard there…Continue

I'm constantly looking for new sponsors. So if you'd like to see your add here on this blog, your logo plastered across my boat and my praise of your quality product or service here in the text, I'm for sale! I'm also usually happy, even thrilled, to accept equipment, food, or prodeal accounts in exchange for advertising opportunities. Looking forward to hearing from you. email@example.com
The Sponsors
I was thrilled when the The Kayak Center of Rhode Island agreed to be one of my sponsors. Not only are they the premier importer of Valley Kayaks, with prices to match, but they have all the gear I could dream of. If you have an idea of what sort of paddling you want to do, but aren't sure exactly what you need to safely get you there, their extensive expertise is at your service. If you're new to paddling, sign up for lessons, Their instructors are some of the best.
Eichenhain is a German company that sells healthy invigorating food and works to create a better world with their save the rain forest purchasing ethic. The name itself means Oak Grove because that, along with kayaking and trail running, is the sort of thing they're in to. I found them when I was looking to buy chia seeds on line. When they saw my blog address at the bottom of an email, we started talking and realized that we have a lot in common. Check out their blog. Even if you don't speak German they have English adventure videos. Check out their site, they have everything from cocoa fruit to Dr Bronner's. And yes, they are paying me in food, their fantastic food.
Some of my readers may recall I had terrible chafing problems with the Nelo provided spray skirt. Paolo from Comfort Paddling came to my rescue. He made me a traditional Akuilisaq that lets me paddle freely, both forward stroke and rolls, keeping my cockpit dry when the surf is pounding around and above me. Aside from great paddle gear, Comfort Paddling also produces wonderful videos, so be sure to check them out to work on your skills. Make sure you always use the link here so he knows I sent you.
Kayak East is one of the finest kayak schools and outfitters I have had the pleasure to work with. It was under their fantastic tutelage that I preformed some of my first rolls and I continue to use them for many of my equipment needs. Their service is exceptional and their products outstanding.
I also work with KD Beauty. I'm helping them with two of their more interesting lines:
Expedition Soap - Add one ounce to a liter of water. Our soap doesn't leave any silly scents or contain fairy tale products like coconut butter or raspberry cascade*. It'll just make you clean, even if you haven't showered for a week or two. Also functions as dish soap and engine cleaner.
Expedition Scent -Wishing you had the masculine smell that only comes with kayaking to the North Pole or crossing the Andes? Wishing you had the rugged beard that all the ladies will die for, but work just won't let you go without shaving and spilling food in it for six months? Wondering how you can acquire that unique odor that comes from having only one pair of underwear? Well now you can, with expedition scent! A cologne for men who just don't have time to be men. (Will stay with you until you rinse thoroughly and repeatedly with expedition soap.)
*Does contain bleached fairy wings.

There is no educational institution that can possibly give you as much as the ability to develop your own skills by doing the appropriate research & reading the right literature. You could probably get away a decade ago without having much computer skills, but today such skills are a must have unless you want to be thousands of steps behind.
The ability of easy access to information has revolutionized the way we operate today, the knowledge of running some simple queries can provide you with more information than you could get years ago spinning through books for hours in libraries. Finding medical records for a specific illness, finding history & linking medical conditions used to be days & days of hard work, which now can be performed literally within an hour with a large amount of data & far more advanced results than ever before. Those who are even more tech savvy & have better database linking skills can get some outstanding results.
Health care has been revolutionized once again and every day more diseases are better linked to certain conditions or behaviors and new studies are performed due to the new data available. This allows for faster problem solving, new found ways for treatment, newer & better therapeutic or surgery procedures. The data flows from thousands of countries around the world with new studies, allowing to link the foods we eat to bettering or worsening conditions like high blood pressure, cancers, cholesterol, glucose, c-reactive protein, triglycerides, other lipid substances, it's simply amazing. Not surprisingly, the science is closer to finding cancer treatment than it has ever been, and more importantly, the pace is accelerating each day to finding a solution.
Countless lives are being saved daily & better information is likely to follow. With the advancement in stem cell research there will be even more & better possibilities to change the life as we know it. If you haven't yet, it's time to get behind the wheel of technology & information sharing, every minute passed is years wasted.

Detecting TMJ Disorder
Temporomandibular joint disorder, also known as TMJ disorder or TMD, currently affects around 10 million Americans. TMJ disorder occurs when the hinge between the upper or lower jaw becomes affected and no longer functions properly. TMD is associated with many uncomfortable symptoms, including:
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Jaw or facial pain
- Pain in the neck and shoulders
- Ringing, buzzing, or aching in the ears
- Clicking or popping jaw
If any of the above symptoms look familiar to you, you should see Dr. Gearin for a TMD analysis. If TMD is what is causing you pain and discomfort, there's no need to wait any longer to treat it.
Find Relief from TMD
Dr. Gearin provides several treatments for TMD that could permanently improve your life. Visit Dr. Gearin to discuss your symptoms with her. She will administer an examination in order to determine the most effective way to relieve you from your unique TMJ problems and symptoms.
Dr. Gearin provides bite splints and oral appliances for her patients who suffer from TMD. These appliances will shift the alignment of your jaw, which will allow the joint and the muscles surrounding the joint to relax. TMD appliances are easy to wear, remove, and clean. They are also portable. We also offer restorative dental work like crowns to change the way your teeth fit together. Like a TMD appliance, this method will reduce the strain and stress on your temporomandibular joint. If these treatment methods aren't right for you, Dr. Gearin can also recommend lifestyle changes, massage, medication, oral surgery, and more.
You don't have to endure the pains of TMJ disorder. Seek treatment so that you can feel the complete comfort you deserve. Call us today to set up an appointment with Dr. Gearin at a time that is convenient for you.

Dec. 13, 2009
Hanover, NH- The Sacred Heart men's ice hockey team finished the fall semester with a 4-1 triumph over ECAC member Dartmouth Sunday afternoon. The two teams scored all of the games goals in the first period as the Pioneers notched four unanswered to take control of the contest. Nick Johnson (Windsor, CT) notched a goal and as assist while Steven Legatto (Kelowna, BC) made 35 saves to earn the victory.
Dartmouth (3-7-0) struck quickly as Kyle Reeds beat the Pioneer defense 1:13 into the opening period and snuck the puck past Legatto to give the Big Green a 1-0 lead. Sacred Heart (4-9-2) would storm back and dominate the rest of the period starting with Matt Gordon's (Lynnfield, MA) second goal of the season at the 13:07 mark. The Pioneers power play lit the lamp five minutes later on an Erik Boisvert (Drummondville, QC) slap shot from the right circle.
Sacred Heart extended its lead to 3-1 as Nick Johnson (Windsor, CT) used a fantastic move to beat Dartmouth goaltender Jody O'Neill. The play was set up by a saucer pass through a defender from Patrick Knowlton (Colorado Springs, CO). Less than a minute later the Pioneer forecheck forced a Big Green turnover that led to a Mitchell Stretch (Saskatoon, SK) slap shot from the blue line. Freshman Tommy Castonguay (Rimouski, QC) redirected the puck top shelf to give SHU a 4-1 lead at the first intermission.
The Pioneers penalty kill kept the Big Green off the scoreboard as they wasted two Dartmouth power play opportunities early in the second stanza. Sacred Heart swarmed late in the period but neither team would be able to find the back of the net. SHU's best opportunity came on a tipped puck off the stick of Evan Mladenoff (Leawood, KS). O'Neill stuffed Mladenoff's first shot with the pad but the junior forward nearly scored on the second chance, sending the shot just wide of the target.
The Big Green would get the first quality scoring chances in the third period as they found themselves on the power play with 11:30 to play. Legatto would make two spectacular saves to rob Evan Stephens and Josh Gilliam of power play markers. Dartmouth would keep the pressure on throughout the frame but Legatto made 15 saves and the defense held strong to earn the 4-1 victory.
The Pioneers will head into the winter break before returning to action January 2-3 against Air Force at the Milford Ice Pavilion.

Go to the "Trainspotting" Page
'Trainspotting': A Wild RideBy Desson Howe
Washington Post Staff Writer
July 26, 1996
"Trainspotting," the adaptation of Irvine Welsh's cultish novel about Scottish heroin addicts, found a successful vein in Great Britain last year. Now that the movie's crossed the Atlantic, it's easy to see why. It propels us through the netherworld of smack dependence with such witty momentum, it becomes a high of its own. Without a doubt, this is the most provocative, enjoyable pop-cultural experience since "Pulp Fiction."
The movie (like Welsh's equally striking book) tags at the heels of Edinburgh social dropouts Renton (Ewan McGregor), Spud (Ewen Bremner), Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller) and Begbie (Robert Carlyle), for whom getting off beats getting out. After all, there's nothing outside their dingy flats but a dead economy, English imperialism and that nebulous MTV-capitalistic-industrial complex.
"People think it's all about misery and desperation and death," says Renton, directly addressing his addiction in voice-over narration. "But what they forget is the pleasure of it. Otherwise we wouldn't do it. . . .'. Take the best orgasm you ever had, multiply it by a thousand and you're still nowhere near it. When you're on junk you have only one worry: scoring."
" Welsh's book, full of slanguage so thick and obtuse it requires a "Clockwork Orange"-style glossary, is an almost plot-free scrapbook of anecdotes and darkly hilarious observations from many characters. The filmmakers (scriptwriter John Hodge, director Danny Boyle and producer Andrew Macdonald) have transformed these multiple narratives into a hard-edged seriocomedy. The story, such as it is, follows Renton's inconsistent attempts to kick his habit. During this time, Renton and his friends get into some bizarre, frequently amusing scrapes, from shoplifting to bar fights to bum deals.
There's an irreverent verve to the movie, accentuated by rapid editing, wall-to-wall music and the extremely colorful language of its protagonists. (Picture the lads in "The Commitments" turned Scottish and gone very seriously to seed.) This upbeat manner allows the movie to tackle the most outrageous subjects and make them funny. (The term "trainspotting," which refers to the obsessive British habit of observing trains, isn't particularly explained, nor equated with the similarly obsessive habit of heroin addiction.) In one surrealistic development, Renton, attempting to retrieve narcotic suppositories dropped into the most disgusting toilet in Scotland, is suddenly swallowed into the commode. As ambient music by Brian Eno plays on the soundtrack, he swims—naked and majestic—through a watery world to find those mislaid pills.
You'll find no embedded public service announcements here. Drug use isn't castigated, although Renton's parents lock him in his bedroom at one point to prevent him from shooting up and the psychotic, hard-drinking Begbie chews out his druggie pals for not switching to liquor. "Trainspotting" isn't ostensibly about drug addiction. It's an inspired tribute to wasted youths, who are so traumatized by conventional society, they retreat into a risky ecstasy, whose side effects are AIDS, overdoses and imprisonment. And rather than falsely comforted with pat answers to the Big Subject, we're left with powerful memories of Renton, Spud, Begbie and Sick Boy, grrreat characters all.
TRAINSPOTTING (Unrated) — Contains scenes of explicit heroin use, cloacal humor and relentless profanity. The Scottish accents and slang are occasionally daunting.

Eco-Centric Natural Fibre Fashions Online Boutique
July 2010
Scott eSolutions Ltd. created an online store for an existing retail clothing store. Starting with a Zen-Cart foundation, some development provided solutions to goals the management at Eco~Centric wanted to acheive. Customers can now buy products online that were previously only available in the store in Courtenay, BC.
May 2010
InHouseCapital Corporation needed a simple, effective solution to showcase the spare properties they have so vacationers can find their cost effective and luxurious vacation homes. How better to advertise and provide information to word-of-mouth customers than a business card with a domain name and a straight-forward website that provides pricing, availability, and pictures?
Scott eSolutions Ltd. was contracted to build this solution. It is built in HTML, CSS, with a lightbox plug-in. Lightbox is an HTML add-on that provides an easy to use, familiar slideshow for images of the properties. Google Calendar was employed to display availability for each property. Staff is able to update the availability calendars for each property within their own Google account. Changes are reflected live on the website.

The numbers are eye-popping and mind-boggling. The human brain struggles to comprehend their enormity: Over 11,000 video games without a single duplicate copy. Over 25 years to collect the sum. Over 260 photos taken of the Guinness World Records event to verify the collection, back when it was 400 titles smaller. There are 21 consoles represented by complete North American sets of released games, along with 14 more systems categorized as being "near-complete" sets, then many more with partial sets.
But perhaps the most incredible, unbelievable-at-first number is this: $1.00. That was the beginning bid for the online auction of this unique, once-in-a-lifetime collection of games (although it is important to note that there is a reserve price not yet met). Game Gavel, a games-specializing auction site, is hosting the listing page. The collector himself is Michael Thommason, who wrote many personal notes to accompany the webpage, including this assuring message for the would-be discouraged:
"Although I am selling this collection, please do not misunderstand and come to the conclusion that I am leaving the hobby. That is definitely not the case. I love games and they are pivotal part of my identity. I will continue to champion them. I will continue to write for periodicals and publish books, teach my college gaming classes, occasionally partake in competitive gaming, operate GDG's Homebrew Heaven, publish new games and gaming products, write business plans, make appearances on television, film and radio, manage retail gaming stores, help with trade shows, work as a consultant for third parties, et cetera.
I simply have an immediate family and extended family that have needs that need to be addressed. While I do not wish to part with these games, I have responsibilities that I have made to others and this action is how I will help meet them. No worries, I've sold my collection many times in the past and still managed to capture Guinness' attention, and it is entirely possible that I may again."
Perhaps amazingly, at press time the current bid still stands at only $2,200, which represents a value of about 20 cents per game. Then again, at the moment the auction still has ten days remaining — plenty of time for an ambitious collector to make a serious move on a truly unique purchase. After all, someone has to meet the reserve… and it could be anyone.

EMEA Emerges
Sometimes, especially in the middle of a harsh winter like this one, it can be easy to forget about the world outside your door, let alone the world halfway across the world. At Ipreo, we do business with and monitor markets across the globe, so such isolation is not something we can indulge in. Nor do we have reason to, with such exciting things happening throughout the worldwide financial markets.
Like what's going on in EMEA.
2014 wasn't only a banner year for American IPOs, it was a big year for new issuance in Europe, the Middle East and Africa too, and things continue to boom in the EMEA region. With 130 IPOs totaling proceeds above $40 billion, EMEA had its busiest year for IPOs since at least 2008 (see right). And they are looking to keep the momentum going, with 2015's 12 priced IPOs already raising $5.9B.
The largest premiere to date was the Spanish airport-operator Aena S.A., which raised $4.38 and stands as the EMEA region's 7th largest IPO ever. The big debut actually stands as something of an anomaly; so-called $1B "mega-deals" are few and far between in the region. Despite an influx of ten-plus-figure-deals around the rest of the world since 2013, only five of the top 20 EMEA IPOs (by proceeds) have broken that billion barrier.
That may be primed to change as the year progresses. In fact, in today's six-month backlog, which currently holds 13 issuers poised to raise a combined $7.1B, two of those issuers are on track to debut as mega-deals:
- UAE-based construction conglomerate Al Habtoor Group is on pace to raise $2.5B after initially postponing its IPO plans in 2012
- Russian-based online retailer Ulmart ZAO is slated to raise $1.5B in its impending London debut.
In the United States, healthcare has been leading the way over the past 14 months. In the EMEA market, Financials dominated 2014 (with 40 debuts totaling $23.6B in proceeds), but another sector wasn't far behind (right). Thus far in the new year, Consumer Services – 2014's EMEA runner-up – has taken pole position, with the help of its Retail sub-sector.
Six of 2015's 12 EMEA IPOs have hailed from Consumer Services, raising $1.1B, with retail firms accounting for half of those, an indication that after a 2014 in which CS totaled 28 IPOs (of which Retail accounted for 11), the sector may be poised for a breakout.
Clearly, the EMEA IPO itself already is breaking out, picking up 2014's baton and burning through the first otherwise frigid months of 2015. Of course, there is still a lot of year left. Can the EMEA region maintain its historic pace? Can it stay on fire into Spring?

August 11, 2017
The IME Fantasy Football League kicks off tonight with no fewer than 50 teams competing in this year's competition - a massive 288% increase on last year!
Entrants have the opportunity to assemble a virtual football squad of 15 players selecting from across the English Premiership with a £100m player budget at their disposal.
Once again IME's league has captured the imagination of people from across the Scottish property industry with entries from a number of property agents, surveyors and IME clients.
The new league sees a return for Eric Young & Co's Neil McConnachie who will be hoping his 'Mr McC's Barmy Army' can go one step further and clinch the title after falling short by only 4 points last term.
Joining him from the same company is Ali Rowe's aptly named 'Rowetation System' whilst there are a number of notable new entries too including Graham and Sibbald's Keith Watters' 'Champs Ian League' and Tuffin Ferraby Taylor's Craig Weir who debuts 'Goalie's Union'.
"We're delighted with the take-up this year - it's great to see so many buying into our league. It is always good fun and a source of banter and ribbing come Monday morning," says IME's managing director, Iain Mercer.
The winner of the league will receive a cheque for £300, the runner-up £150 and third place will receive a £50 John Lewis voucher.
"The IME Fantasy Football League is a great way of engaging our contacts and clients over the course of the season," continued Mr Mercer.
"And with such an increase in teams we are expecting it to be uber competitive from start to finish."
The deadline for submitting entries is 18.45 tonight. If you are keen to get involved then please follow this link to another part of our website and follow the instructions nohow to enter your team.

I turn the big 65 this month…what I like to refer to as a speed limit birthday. And while I have never paid much attention to the number, this one seems to be giving me pause for some reason. Maybe because the whole damn world seems to know how old I am right now based on the number of phone and mail solicitations I receive on a daily basis reminding me that I am now a medicare recipient and, therefore, OLD. This is so hard for me to come to grips with since I feel and look like I am 45…ok..55 (on a good day and if you don't look too closely). But it is also Women's History Month where we celebrate all the accomplishments of women throughout the centuries. So what better time to celebrate all the women in my life who make me very happy every single day.
- Janis. Childhood friends are the best. We cannot get together without talking about and reminiscing about all the people we have known since we were 11 years old. We became fast friends in sixth grade when I was the new kid on the block and have remained so throughout marriages and divorces and death of parents and health issues and distance and all the things that take place throughout a lifetime. But as we begin this next phase of our lives as seniors and as grandparents I vow to spend much more time with you.
- Sharon. I have always prided myself on the fact that I have several friends that I have had for decades and you are part of this prized group. We grew up together as babies in the business world and while our lives took very different paths I continue to count you as one of my most valued friends. You know the kind…those you can count on no matter what to defend you and support you and be by your side regardless of distance or how much time has passed. I mean, really..who else would offer to fly over from Hawaii to help me when Rick had his heart surgery? I am so happy that you will be almost a neighbor again and we can spend more time together. March babies rock!
- Grandma Lou. You accepted me into your family and your social circle over 30 years ago without question and we have been inseparable ever since. I treasure our visits to Home Goods and traditions like annual visits to Canterbury Gardens and the Harvest Festival and, especially, the many millions of bottles of wine we have shared in your living room while we solve all of the world's problems. You and your wonderful boys mean the world to me.
- Lisa Lisa. While 10 years in age separates us I am constantly surprised at how parallel our lives are. We are so different yet so much alike. I am so impressed by your creativity and your friendliness to others and your loyalty to your family. Who knows, someday we may even be on the same page politically…..not!
- Kate. No one knows more about my family dynamics than you and I have so valued your professional and personal input throughout the years. We have been through many storms together yet I learn something new from you each time. No one can make me laugh like you can. You are an honorary Haynie, like it or not!
- Bowlin. What can I say? We had an immediate connection from the moment we met as did our husbands, which makes our friendship that much sweeter. You are the sister I always wished I had and there is no one I would rather watch "White Christmas" with, share a bottle (or two or three) of fine wine with, discuss books or ski down a mountain with than you.
- Kathy F. You will always be Kathy "Flirty" to me. And even though thousands of miles separates us, I think of you often and look forward to the two or three letters/cards we share throughout the year and have done so for the past 35 years. We need to get together soon if, for no other reason, so I can make fun of your accent!
- The group. Sharon, Paula, Deb, Denise, Kathy, Patti, the bingo ladies, and all those other ladies with whom I share fun and special moments.
- Jenna bear. While you are my daughter I also count you as one of the most important, if not THE most important woman in my life. You have become the type of woman I want to be friends with–kind, compassionate, smart, funny, motivated, brave and positive. While I take much credit for that (lol) in all seriousness, it is all your doing and how you put to work the tools we gave you along with your own personality. No mother could be more proud to call their daughter a friend than I am.
These are the "things" that made me happy in March and every other month of the year. My hope is that you have many women friends in your life that bring you joy and laughter every single day.

This is the continuum of the last post about how I use the snowfall package in R to run parallel WinBUGS/OpenBUGS on multiple processors. The last post explains the way how I run several MCMC chains on multiple processors, to be precise, 2 MCMC chains of a regression model on a PC with Intel Core2 Duo CPU.
In this post, I introduce parallel running OpenBUGS on a Linux cluster with several hundred multi-core nodes available at Brown (i.e. Oscar). The task is the same. I have simulated 100 datasets, for each of which I created 8th-fold subsets for the purpose of cross validation. I need to fit a Bayesian regression model to each subset, that is, 800 regressions in total. The approach is essentially the same as in the previous post, except that instead of distributing multiple MCMC chains, I distribute multiple datasets and the corresponding model fitting on multiple cores.
The code begins with a similar fashion. I'm using OpenBUGS instead of WinBUGS since I'm running on a Linux cluster. For each regression model, I run 3 MCMC chains, and for each chain, I run 50,000 iterations.
Next, I start looping through the 100 simulations, for each of which I will simultaneously fit separate regression models to the 8 cross-validation sub datasets by launching 8 parallel OpenBUGS on 8 cores. Therefore, I initialize parallel computing setups at the beginning of the loop. As before, the command stInit initializes a 8-core (the parameter cpus = nCPU = kFold = 8 as defined above) parallel computing. The command sfExportAll() exports all the variables/data defined above to all the 8 cores. The command sfLibrary(R2OpenBUGS) loads the R2OpenBUGS package on all the 8 cores in order to call OpenBUGS from R. The command sfClusterSetupRNG() set different random streams for the 8 cores, which is actually unnecessary because I'm not running several MCMC chains for the same data on different cores.
Then, I use the command sfLapply to distribute 8 cross-validation subsets to 8 cores by putting data loading, model estimating, and results saving steps into a function. Notice that the fancy bracket opens at line 40 and closes at line 69. The command sfStop stops the parallel computing. The closing fancy bracket at line 71 closes the for loop started at line 31 above.

Saido Berahino stays at West Brom, posts bizarre tweet
Saido Berahino posted a bizarre tweet after failing to make a move from West Brom on transfer deadline day.
The striker, who has struggled for a starting place under manager Tony Pulis, had been linked with a number of clubs including Newcastle, who reportedly had a £24 million bid turned down.
The 22-year-old has previously got into trouble on Twitter for criticising club chairman Jeremy Peace after he was not sold to Tottenham in August. Back then he wrote: "Sad how I can't say exactly how the club has treated me but I can officially say I will never play Jeremy Peace."
And after another move failed to materialise, the 22-year-old took to the social media site again.
He posted: "Everyone waiting once again for the silly little spoilt boy to make same mistake so here you go.
"Goodnight all and thanks for the support."

The Waste Land Without Pound
At a lunch recently for the advisory committee of the Dictionary of Literary Biography, I told Lola Szladits, curator of the Berg Collection in the New York Public Library, that I had a heresy to confess. I impenitently clung to the opinion that Ezra Pound might have done a disservice to T.S. Eliot when he excised certain passages from The Waste Land. Since Ms. Szladits had an important part in publishing these deleted sections in Valerie Eliot's 1971 edition of her husband's manuscripts, I had assumed that she shared the prevailing academic view that Pound's maieutic hand had been a happy one. To my surprise I discovered that she agreed with me.
In my younger days I read everything suggested that might shed light on The Waste Land. I studied Jessie Weston's From Ritual to Romance; I pored through Frazer; I learned the constitution of the tarot pack; I searched libraries until I found a tattered copy of Countess Marie Larisch's My Past, and in London I even stood under the bell tower at St. Mary Woolnoth's to check the "dead sound on the final stroke of nine." There wasn't one. But diverting as these investigations proved, they did not shed much more light on the poem than Eliot's own footnotes about ancient fertility rites and their significance in the legend of the Holy Grail.
What was I left with, then, but a dazzling succession of images? Should these be enough? If there were a basic meaning to the poem, other than what Eliot himself had given it ("a personal and wholly insignificant grouse against life"), might it not be in the line: "These fragments I have shored against my ruins"?
But when I read the manuscripts it seemed to me that Eliot was doing more than shoring together fragments. He appeared to be sampling lives of little people who picked their way about the ruins of older civilizations, unable, because of illiteracy, ignorance, or simple preciousness, to make profitable use of these shards.
I am not suggesting that one should do a Viollet-le-Duc restoration of the poem as Eliot might have conceived it had he never met Pound. He approved of all of Pound's emendations, and never afterward, so far as I know, suggested any dissatisfaction with them. The Waste Land, as published in 1922, must stand as a finished work, and even I will admit that Pound helped to give it conciseness and unity of mood. But it is still an entrancing game to browse through the manuscripts and speculate on what Eliot may have initially had in mind.
As I see it, The Waste Land originally comprised three basic elements: (1) the quotations, or semiquotations, that invoke the great literature and art of the past; (2) descriptions of the aridity and cultural poverty of the post–World War I era; and (3) dramatic episodes about individuals: average, flawed souls lost in a world they cannot understand.
Of the dramatic episodes, five in number initially, Pound deleted three.…
