Get a Press Pass
A rally is a complicated event. For the Sandblast Rally, we are orchestrating fifty cars moving over 560 square miles with a precision of under one minute. What this means for you as a member of the press is that if you just show up the day of the event and ask "How do I get to Turn 1?" you are likely to be disappointed with the quality of coverage you can supply. Therefore we ask that you contact the rally organizer at least a week in advance so that you can plan what you're going to cover, and we can plan to make accomodations for you.
If your schedule prohibits any advance contact, then you will find that the highest quality coverage you can get will be by using the publicy available spectator information, as it contains excellent directions and schedules, and this access will not require a Press Pass.
What you get
The Press Packet consists of:
- Non-forgeable, customized with your name, Press Pass
- Detailed stage maps
- Detailed stage schedule
- Entry list
Press access includes:
- Public - Spectator Areas
- Public - Service Areas
- Public - Parc Expose
- Extra - Scoring / Operations Center
- Extra - Near (not inside) the Start and Finish controls, within defined press areas
- Extra - Outside the tape at Spectator Areas (in pre-defined press areas)
- Extra - Several pre-defined Press-only areas on course (generally you will be locked in here for the duration of the stage)
At all Extra locations, use of "NASA RallySport Press" aprons is required.
Press are not allowed:
- Inside any time control, start control, or finish control
- To hike into the stage from the start or from the finish
- To access locations on stage that are not defined as "press areas" or "spectator areas".
Application Procedure
In order to qualify for a Press Pass, you must be a member of the press. At least one week before the rally, send to the Kevin Allen:

Shopping for antiques is a bit of an art. It should never be confused with overloading your home with things that are antiquated. The lure of the luxuries from yesteryear can be strong, but just because something is old, doesn't mean it's good. Timbercreek Communities wants to help you find the best things to buy antique or vintage.
Back in the day, furniture was made from wood. Real wood. Solid wood. As long as you don't have your heart set on a Louis XIV armoire, you can find some great solid wood antique furniture that will last another lifetime -- at prices that can rival the cost of buying particle board and lacquer today. You won't be passing on that IKEA wardrobe to your grandchildren. The furniture you find doesn't have to be perfect. You can replace knobs and hardware, refinish it, or even repaint it to give it a modern-retro look.
Art is subjective. You like what you like and hate what you hate. When you shop for antique art, don't expect to pick up any paintings from famous artists at rock bottom prices. If you look carefully, you can expect to find real, hand painted works from talented nobodies, where you can see and feel the brush strokes, for about the same price as a poster or print of a famous work.
You may not be able to find a complete set in one spot, but with a bit of digging you can pull together a charming assortment of real silverware pieces. Think of them less like a matching set, and more like individual pieces of art. You may have to spend some time removing the tarnish, so be sure to use a non-toxic polish.
It's easy to find cheap glass, today. But it can be a bit bland. If you're looking for something a little more unique, it's time to go antique! You may even discover a new hobby, as the antique glass rabbit hole goes pretty deep.
Whether you're looking for beautiful pieces to display in your china cabinet, or you just want to be prepared in case the Queen drops by for tea, antique china never goes out of fashion and its value only tends to increase.
If antiques are what you're after, Timbercreek hopes these suggestions help you hunt down some fabulous finds for your home.

Butterfly Monitoring on San Bruno Mountain
When I tell my friends that I monitor butterflies, I think they picture me and the team skipping through a field in sundresses with butterfly nets in hand. We definitely do skip when we find a rare species! However, most of the time we hike up steep slopes trying to find our footing. Instead of butterfly nets we use iPads and binoculars to identify and record sightings. I usually wear Carhartt double-knee pants to keep the thistle at bay and a long sleeve shirt to keep the ticks from biting. While sundresses are one of my favorite outfits, they are not well suited for fieldwork.
Picture us more like this.
There are very few rules in ecology, but any experienced ecologist knows not to get separated from your lunch! This may sound trivial until what started as five- minute mapping hike becomes an hour or two distance from your starting point and your pack. Hunger pangs signal that you've made a grave mistake. We map violets to better understand the distribution of callippe silverspot, an endangered butterfly. The callippe rely on the host violets for laying eggs and larvae feeding. I was mapping violets to mark the perimeter of the violet patch when about half way down the slope I realized I had to go down, around and back up the slope to accurately map the patch. Let me tell you, my quick viola mapping turned into a two- hour hike down and up the slippery slopes of San Bruno Mountain chasing violets.
Fieldwork can be unpredictable. To monitor the San Bruno elfin populations we survey eight plots for elfin larvae that feed on stonecrop. Plots may be easily accessible from a trail in low grasses and take only 30 minutes to stake out. Yet, I have also trekked in and out through scrub and poison oak at shoulder height to map plots that require an hour in travel time, plus more time to stake out the plot. When I set out to do three plots in a day I'm never sure if I am setting myself up for a half field day or a 10-hour field day. That being said every day we go out we have to be prepared for a long day -- Because mama said fieldwork is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.
San Bruno Mountain is a special park for conservation. It is the only place where the callippe silverspot, San Bruno elfin and mission blue are found together. Monitoring butterflies helps us understand how they are doing on the mountain, fluctuations in population from year to year are normal. The amount of butterflies can vary depending on host plant productivity, if there is less food there will lower survival rates. We monitor for dramatic drops in population that could jeopardize the species. The information gathered from fieldwork has helped stabilize many butterfly populations by reintroducing species to areas and addressing forces that can drive the population to decline such as invasive plants. Fieldwork is rigorous and rewarding. Yes, we work long hours and hike a ton! We also get to see some of the best views in the Bay Area and contribute to efforts that protect endangered butterflies. Getting to the top of the ridge and taking in my surroundings makes the hike worth every step. Even after a long day in the field I smile and reflect on how much was accomplished – I'm excited to get back out the next morning.
There is no better feeling than a sense of accomplishment, especially after a day of hard work. I am always proud of how far I've hiked and how many plots I surveyed, and I know that the days we go home dirtiest are they days that we worked hard and had the most fun!

Bookies take on Admire Rakti in Melbourne Cup as money comes for Fawkner at call of the card
Wizard of Odds: Live Odds, Form and Alerts for all RacingFull coverage: Melbourne Cup 2014Melbourne Cup sweep
Bookmakers across the country have vowed to take on Admire Rakti as punters rallied behind the Japanese star, which could still relinquish Melbourne Cup favouritism to Lloyd Williams' Fawkner.
Tomoyuki Umeda's Caulfield Cup hero brought to life an otherwise pedestrian call of the card at the traditional Cup eve bash on Monday after $6.50 was bet about the top pick.
Most odds-makers are expecting him to be a similar quote by jump time, while support for Cox Plate runner-up Fawkner is gathering momentum.
This year's Melbourne Cup appears to be one of the most open in recent memory.
"Admire Rakti is our worst result, but there has been a massive move for Fawkner in the last 24 hours and the money is coming from the right places," Ladbrokes' Paul Di Cioccio said. "Fawkner is still $8, but if the money keeps coming he could be favourite."
The Fawkner following had one big-time supporter at the call of the card, Sean Bartholomew knocking back a wager to win $1 million on the Australian-bred grey.
Bartholomew eventually accepted a smaller investment to win $250,000 at odds of $9.
While there was money for Willing Foe, suggesting some believe Godolphin can break its Cup curse, punters patiently waited for Admire Rakti to be the last of the 24 runners shopped.
Mark Sampieri was knocked off his stand after offering luxurious odds before he passed the baton to Warren Woodcock, who also could not keep pace writing tickets.
Robbie Waterhouse was next to hold the call, accepting the largest single bet of the day when one punter had $50,000 on Admire Rakti at $6.
Quizzed on whether he thought Admire Rakti would be so well backed, Waterhouse said: "No, I didn't actually. I'm happy to bet against him and I was surprised he was so well supported.
"The other surprising thing about the call is it was nearly all cash. I would think [Admire Rakti's] price will still be around $6 on race day."
It is a similar quote to what other online bookmakers are prepared to offer, BetEasy's Matt Tripp suggesting they will band together to take on Admire Rakti.
BetEasy took a wager of $40,000 on the seven-year-old, which is attempting to set a modern day weight-carrying record in the Cup and also become the first horse to complete the Caulfield-Melbourne cups double since 2001.
"I think I will bet around the $6 or $6.50 mark [until jump time] and I reckon the bookmakers will all want to take him on," Tripp said. "I think the money will come for Fawkner and Signoff and there's been good money for Protectionist so far."
Sportingbet's Andrew Brown said despite continued interest in Admire Rakti he would not be surprised if one of several horses started favourite by jump time.
"It will just depend which one the money comes for," he said. "At the moment our losers are Fawkner, Admire Rakti, Lucia Valentina and Signoff, but it's that sort of race."
Added Glenn Munsie of Tab苏州美甲美睫培训学校.au: "For us overall Admire Rakti is a million-dollar loser, especially after the Caulfield Cup. The doubles are just killing us. There have been a couple of good pushes in the last couple of days, particularly Who Shot Thebarman and Fawkner."
There were few other fireworks inside the Crown Palladium for the call of the card.
Tom Waterhouse snapped up the $31 about Willing Foe, asking bookmaker Anthony Doughty to risk a $500,000 payout. Doughty eventually stood to part with $250,000 to Waterhouse.
The best-supported outsider was Seismos, one wager a $2000 by $1500 each-way bet on Marco Botti's import at $101. A couple of $1000 each-way bets were also taken before his price was wound into $81.
There were nibbles for some of Chris Waller's long shots, including a single bet to win $151,000 on Opinion ($71) and another to win $100,000 on Who Shot Thebarman.
Darren Weir's Lexus Stakes winner Signoff was friendless at $7.

>Battlefield 3 don't want no Steam!
>It's rumor city once again here at KBMOD. 3 rumor posts in a row!
EA recently listed all the retailers who would have pre-orders of BF3, and Steam was nowhere to be found. Given the Crysis 2 fiasco, EA rolling out Origin and then also pointing the finger at Valve for the pulling of Crysis 2, this might be just toying with Valve or it's a sign of a split. A split is bad for all of us.
However, given that other EA games have shown up post pre-order, as the article points out, EA might just want all the pre-order cash it can get.
We shall see.

Is our data center staffing model squeezing out system administrators?
Better data center and system management tools are radically increasing the number of servers to each data center employee.
What is the typical employment density of a data center?
Better data center management tools mean an exponential shift in the number of IT staffers that can adequately support data center operations.
The conventional data center staffing model -- before automation tools were developed -- dictated that an IT team hire one system administrator (sys admin) for every 20 servers and that no more than 12 people reported to any other single person in the IT department. So, if your IT shop ran 100 servers, you would need five sys admins and a manager. For 1,000 servers, 50 sys admins would report to five supervisors and a manager. In addition, you'd have an equivalent number of storage and network administrators. On the test and development side of IT, you'd have another set of employees.

new job in IT?
Meet the CDO -- chief digital officer
Work on your third platform IT skills
Learn what experts want in a new admin
The IT staff could soon amount to a massive cost center for the business. Well, so much for theory, as this rarely would be the case.
In today's data center, a lot of staffing decisions come down to how well-tooled the data center is. If it uses a full management system, comprising a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system and systems management tool set, then the IT team can automate the tasks around running platforms. This is how many service providers run their businesses, with very few sys admins looking after the platform or the facility.
Test and development isn't immune to this change in data center staffing either. With DevOps, who is to say where a developer stops and a data center operator begins?
A modern data center should aim for a single sys admin supporting around 1,000 physical servers. In 2009, Microsoft Corp. managed its Chicago data center of 300,000 servers with just 30 IT staff members, including the maintenance and facilities group; expectations are that it will need fewer IT staff members per server in the future. However, this level of support is only possible for identically configured servers. If you had 2,000 servers, each with different configurations, one system administrator would burn out in around two days.

From the Archives: Mischief By Statute
If there is no authority higher than the State, then the State effectively becomes the arbiter of all that is just and right. The danger of this autonomous humanistic State is that it will not be restrained from exercising despotic and tyrannical power over its citizenry because it has become accountable to no one but itself. Recognizing no divine limit to its function, it becomes the arbiter of morals as well as policies.

Paul, Called to Be an Apostle – a sermon: God's Sovereign Purpose of Salvation, Calling Us to Peace, even while we oppose Him – Ephesians 1:1
God, Time, and Foreknowledge – How Can God Know the Future?
Time is a limited dimension, bounded by gravity and the speed of light. God exists above the limitations of the space-time continuum, and in fact created Time. Foreknowledge is possible to God because his existence is above the 4 physical dimensions we experience. His being in heaven is possibly like the 5th dimension, which is not subject to the limitations of natural time.
Mischief by Statute – a Prophetic view of the Role of the Supreme Court, from 1995
The Supreme Court is a Law Unto Itself – severed from the underlying principles of freedom, the nature of the Constitution, and the derivation of "rights" as the Founders understood them. This prophetic analysis of the Court's behavior from 1995 leads directly to the decisions handed down in 2015.

Times of play and joy, easier times, lesser responsibilities, when we all believed in the illusion of our own immortality. Friendships, like a tribe, have lasted a lifetime. When we meet up, it is as if all the years between have disappeared and we are back to our youth. There is something here we have shared, we shared with no one else. But there is also something in our memories, which speak to our hope for eternity. It is a memory almost forgotten… buried under leaves and grass… that life goes on even after the parting of familiar friends.

Grief, when it comes, is nothing we expect it to be.
~ From The Year of Magical Thinking, Joan Didion
I don't like to think about death. It scares me. It's not the mere fact of it or the inevitability. It's the loneliness.
I remember when my grandfather died. I was 22 and had just started graduate school. My world was shaken by his absence from it and the truth was it had been a while since I'd seen him. I had been so busy with work (I was working two jobs) and the transition back to school that I just didn't have time. So I was broken by my lack of time. I could have had more time. I ran out of it and that hurt. But I couldn't imagine what my grandmother was going through.
I remember seeing her at the wake. We all showed up and sat around waiting to welcome the people who would come, view my grandfather's body, share hugs and encouragement and then go about their lives. It was hard to just sit there. But I remember my grandmother doing just that—sitting there. I wondered what she was thinking. What was that first night like when she realized she would no longer have her husband to continue life with? Did she feel empty? Did she feel lonely? Did she cry?
I didn't see her cry that entire weekend. At the wake. At the funeral. She just sat there and looked ahead. I wonder if her thoughts were much like Joan's. I wonder if she hoped there was a way for him to return. I wonder if she thought relentlessly about his last moments, last words. I wonder if she replayed the last conversation they had over and over in her mind. I wonder if she walked through the home they built together and felt the emptiness to the point that she no longer knew how to function in that house, where to sit, where to eat. I wonder if she still, nine years later, feels alone.
There were glimpses of her grief I was aware of. Family members mentioned that soon after his death she refused to go into the bedroom where he lay in hospice care. I noticed the last few times I visited that the chair my grandfather frequently sat in to watch westerns on VHS was no longer in its spot. I don't remember when I first realized it wasn't there. I don't know when it was removed or why. But it's gone.
I remember one day around Christmas time my cousins and I decided to go visit our grandmother, spend time with her and do her nails. I don't remember what the conversation was about, how this happened or what the exact words were. But my grandmother basically said she didn't have a husband anymore. He left her. My heart sunk in that moment, but I had no clue how to respond or if she realized she had spoken those words aloud. I just felt sadness for the loneliness she must have felt since September 2009 and the loneliness she was feeling in that moment even as four of her grandchildren were sitting with her. I just hope that our presence gave her some comfort and that as the years have passed she has begun to remember, with joy, the good times instead of sinking in the reality of his absence.
Grief turns out to be a place none of us know until we reach it. We anticipate (we know) that someone close to use could die, but we do not look beyond the few days or weeks that immediately follow such an imagined death. We misconstrue the nature of even those few days or weeks. We might expect if the death is sudden to feel shock. We do not expect this shock to be obliterative, dislocating to both body and mind. We might expect that we will be prostrate, inconsolable, crazy with loss. We do not expect to be literally crazy, cool customers who believe that their husband is about to return and need his shoes. In the version of grief we imagine, the model will be "healing." A certain forward movement will prevail. The worst days will be the earliest days. We imagine that the moment to most severely test us will be the funeral, after which this hypothetical healing will take place. When we anticipate the funeral we wonder about failing to "get through it," rise to the occasion, exhibit the "strength" that invariably gets mentioned as the correct response to death. We anticipate needing to steel ourselves for the moment: will I be able to greet people, will I be able to leave the scene, will I be able even to get dressed that day? We have no way of knowing that this will not be the issue. We have no way of knowing that the funeral itself will be anodyne, a kind of narcotic regression in which we are wrapped in the care of others and the gravity and meaning of the occasion. Nor can we know ahead of the fact (and here lies the heart of the difference between grief as we imagine it and grief as it is) the unending absence that follows, the void, the very opposite of meaning, the relentless succession of moments during which we will confront the experience of meaninglessness itself.

In memory Stefan followed himself home. The word was used to denote the house in which he and his father lived. A portrait of his mother hung over the parlor stove. It was a chalk drawing from a photograph, crudely done, but beautiful by reason of the subject. The face was young and very round, the forehead beautifully low and broad under black waves of hair. The nose was short and proud, the chin small but square, the mouth gaily curving around little, even teeth. But the eyes were deep and somber; there was passion in them, and romance.

Plan a Culinary Herb Garden for Spring
Planting a culinary herb garden is an aromatic and delicious way to bring in spring. The secret to transforming easy dishes into extraordinary meals is fresh herbs. Herbs also make beautiful garnishes and bouquets.
Land isn't a requirement for an herb garden, as many herbs are suitable for container gardening. If you've never started seeds before, you may be more successful initially starting with transplants. The last projected frost date for Caldwell County is around April 16th, so herbs should be planted after then to avoid losing to a late freeze. However, containers could be brought inside for protection.
Cutting herbs in the morning before the sun gets hot is the best time. You can help them maintain their flavor by pinching out any flower heads that begin to develop.
They can be stored for several days in the refrigerator in a plastic bag. Keep it open or make holes in the bag for air circulation. You want to wash herbs right before using them.
If a recipe calls for dried herbs, use three times the amount of fresh. When getting ready to chop, you can include some of the tender stems with delicate herbs, such as parsley, cilantro, and basil. But with sturdy stemmed herbs, such as rosemary, thyme and oregano, remove the leaves by running your thumb and index finger down the opposite direction the leaves have grown.
To chop, bunch the leaves on a cutting board and then use a sharp chef's knife to not bruise the leaves, rocking back and forth.
Basil, chives, cilantro, dill leaves, mint and parsley should be added the last minute or two of cooking or sprinkled on food just before serving. Oregano, rosemary, sage and thyme may be added the last 20 minutes or so of cooking.
Here are some ideas to help you start combining fresh herbs with your foods:
Basil is a favorite and makes a great pesto. Pesto may be used as a pizza spread, sandwich spread, as a salad dressing ingredient, as a topping for bread, as a topping for salmon and other fish, and is great tossed in pasta. Basil is a natural snipped in with tomatoes and great in pasta sauce, and zucchini.
Italian parsley is more strongly flavored and preferred for cooking than curly leaf parsley. Great in potato salad and tabouli. Makes wonderful pesto that may be stirred in pasta salads and used as a topping for fish.
Mint tastes great on carrots, fruit salads, and in tea.
Cilantro is often used in Mexican, Asian and Caribbean dishes. Common in salsa and guacamole.
Rosemary is wonderful on chicken, fish, pork, on roasted potatoes, in soups and stews and tomatoes.
Sage is most known for poultry seasoning and stuffing.
Oregano is often in Italian food, great on peppers and tomatoes.
This simple, fresh tasting recipe uses several herbs. Quinoa or rice could be substituted for the couscous.
Whole-Wheat Couscous Salad with Fresh Herbs and Dried Fruit
1 ½ cup whole-wheat couscous
3 cups chicken stock or water
3 tablespoons canola or olive oil
¼ cup chopped parsley
½ cup chopped mint
¼ cup chopped cilantro
8 – 10 dried apricots, diced
¼ cups currants or dried cranberries
¼ cup toasted pistachios or other nut of choice
Zest of juice of 1 ½ lemons
Freshly ground pepper and salt to taste
Heat the stock or water to boiling. Add canola or olive oil and salt to taste. Pour in couscous and stir. Simmer for 2 or 3 minutes, then cover and take off the heat. Let stand for 10 minutes and then fluff with a fork.
Add the remaining ingredients and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

It's the start of school for many families, and with that comes a lot of nerves, fears, tension, and stress. It can be easy to be overwhelmed by it all, but as in every difficult situation in life we can always turn to Scripture for encouragement. Today on the show we shared several Bible verses that can particularly help when it comes to back to school. You can check out the entire list HERE, including ones that we didn't share on the air.
Are you addicted to your smartphone? A recent survey from Time of 5,000 people from 8 countries around the world showed that 84% couldn't live one day without their smartphones. Let's face it, it can be incredibly easy to get caught up in the over-connectivity of our day and age. HERE is a six-step program from the Washington Post to help overcome smartphone addiction that we we shared this morning.
And once again, good luck to Mount Vernon City Schools as they get started today! We hope the school year goes great for you guys!

Product Description
James Williams is actively involved in teaching Military special operations and government security professionals who must at times perform their daily high risk duties in environments where carry of firearms or larger knives is impermissible. It was at their professional request that these close quarter knife designs were developed. The result of this request is the CRKT Heiho. The distinctive blade shape is classical Samurai which gives outstanding penetrating power as well as slashing performance. A stainless steel Inter- Frame build with a liner lock, polished G10 scales, ambidextrous thumb-disk opener, and stainless steel carry-clip round out the make up of this defensive folder. The Heiho makes full use of our patented OutBurst® assisted opening mechanism, and if required, can be quickly disabled easily. The Heiho also incorporates our patented LAWKS safety. This locks the blade in the fully open position making this folding knife a virtual fixed blade. The innovative and patented Veff Serrations are a welcome new addition to the Heiho. Veff Serrations superior rope, fiber, and technical cutting ability is well documented and exclusively offered by CRKT. The Heiho professional folding knife is overbuilt to last. This is arguably as much defensive security as you can find in a small, easily concealed, tactical folder.

Customer Reviews
I ordered this for a small defense folder for EDC since I work a night shift. I walk a mile to work and just wanted something easy to carry and deploy in a negative social encounter. With all that is going on in the world, a discreet fighting blade was the best choice. This is the forth C.R.K.T. knife I have purchased form this site, and I think my 20th purchase. It is my favorite C.R.K.T. and overall best purchase I have made here. Rapid blade deployment, razor sharp, nice serrations and point. Fit and finish a work of art. The nicest blade I own. As usual, the shipping methods suck! Shipping methods and time to get from Georgia to Florida get longer and longer over the last year or so. If it were not for the quality of the products on this site, the shipping methods would have had me looking elsewhere some time ago. I received a Christmas Card in 4 days from time sent to arrival regular mail with standard postage stamp from Georgia last month.It took 11 days forthis knife to get to me sent regular mail and I paid almost 10.00 for shipping. The same price as U.P.S. or Surepost, but I am gettng regular mail. Happy with product, highly upset with sites shipping practices.
Excellent, solid blade. Came extremely sharp, and the serrations not only look great, but are built to perform. All around I think this is my absolute favorite knife for around $50.

I wouldn't claim that there's anything remotely original about this recipe. It's just very, very nice for one. Or two. Or four, come to that. My brother Johnny, a long-time resident of Rome, likes to make it using a variety of broccoli you can't find in this country, which has a wild, slightly bitter flavour, but I think it works just as well with purple (or white) sprouting broccoli. One pointer: always salt the pasta water well. It may seem excessive in view of contemporary dietary concerns, but if the water has been correctly seasoned, there won't be any need to add salt to the finished dish. And of course you can use some other pasta. Orecchiete, the classic pasta of Puglia and Basilicata, is particularly suited.
The measurements are per person. Just multiply for larger numbers.
100g dried spaghetti
1 handful purple sprouting broccoli
Olive oil
3 cloves garlic
2 small hottish dried red chillis
Black pepper
Bring a pan of water to the boil. Roughly chop the broccoli and add to the boiling water. Cook for a minute or two. Fish out with a slotted spoon (and plunge into cold water until cold if you can be bothered). Drain well. Keep the cooking water in the pan. Peel and slice the garlic and chop the chilli. Heat a good splash of olive oil in a frying pan. Add the garlic and chilli. Fry until the garlic is just beginning to colour up. Add the purple sprouting broccoli and continue frying very gently while you cook the spaghetti. Don't worry if the broccoli begins to disintegrate. It'll still be yummy. Bring the broccoli water back to the boil. Add salt – Marcella Hazan recommends 1 ½ heaped tablespoons per 4 litres. Add the spaghetti, and cook until there is still a core of firmness at a strand's centre. Drain in a colander or lift out with tongs and add to the pan with the broccoli, garlic and chilli. Raise the heat to boil off any excess water, and flip over the contents until all the elements are well mixed. Eat with a good grating of Parmesan cheese on top.

It might not be new, it was released in 2007, but we have only just come across this beautiful piece of B2B advertising from and wanted to share it with you. Who says B2B marketing has to be dry, dull and homogeneous? This is a truly wonderful way to tell the story of what you do, in the energy market.
Power company Epuron worked with the German Ministry for the Environment to create this advert, featuring a endearing French giant whose annoying habits are finally harnessed. The character, Mr W, causes trouble wherever he goes, upsetting women with dresses, throwing sand at the beach, lending a hand to bad hair days. Finally a chance meeting with Epuron helps him discover his potential for good. This advert won a gold at Cannes and three gold at the London International Advertising Awards among many other accolades.

You've got a fantastic idea that you want to turn into a profit-making opportunity and you believe you've got the technical know-how as well. So, time to start a company and watch the money roll in, right?
Not so fast. You might have a good product in mind, but a good product won't necessarily guarantee a good business. With startups, the tendency is to believe that what one is offering is necessarily original, novel and differentiated.
However, a more in-depth analysis might reveal something different, providing would-be startups with crucial information that can be used to further refine their business strategies and create a more differentiated product. Or at least market it as such. With this in mind, what can you use in your analysis that is simple yet effective?
Enter the SWOT analysis, a 2×2 matrix that compares the Strengths and Weaknesses of a company, as well as the Opportunities and Threats presented to it. Strengths and Weaknesses are internal factors that are generally within a company's control (or a result of a company's decisions). Opportunities and Threats are the external factors that are out of the company's control.
2×2 Matrix of a SWOT Analysis
Internal Factors
External Factors
x Opportunities
x Opportunities
x Threats
x Threats
With any business idea, it's incredibly important to be aware of your company's internal factors in relation to external factors. This ensures that it will be able to meet the competitive demands of the market that it is going to enter.
A good product cannot exist in a bubble — it has to be marketed, sold and distributed to consumers in order for the company to thrive. This is all the more crucial with start-ups as ideological aspirations may sometimes cause key decision-makers to obsess over the product and forget about the other aspects of their business.
The SWOT analysis sounds fantastic but how exactly is it used? What are Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats?
Sample SWOT Analysis
Let's imagine a sports apparel startup is trying to establish their presence in Venezuela. This startup might draw up a SWOT analysis that looks something like this:
|Internal Factors
As a startup, we can be more flexible with business strategies.
As capital may depend heavily on investor opportunities, funding is variable. As a young enterprise, we may suffer from weak branding.
|External Factors
Low presence of other sport apparel companies.
How to maximise company's strengths to ride wave of opportunities
Constantly adapt business strategies to take advantage of absence of other sport apparel companies to expand aggressively and dominate market share for Venezuela's sport apparel industry.
How to utilise opportunities to minimise problems created by company's weaknesses
Weak branding might not be hindrance to company's growth since there isn't much competition in the first place.
Severe inflation, as well as political and civil unrest due to threats of looting and rioting.
How to utilise company's strengths to mitigate external threats
If there is high risk of civil unrest and potential looting, the company can decide to do e-commerce, instead of having physical retail stores.
Decide if you want to abandon a targeted segment/strategy if the company's weakness is a glaring issue that is unable to counter a threat
If investors view the economic climate unfavourably in Venezuela (as they should) then they might choose not to invest in the startup, making it even harder to keep the company afloat.
As seen from above, a SWOT analysis is not difficult to do and should be done at regular intervals across a startup's lifespan.
A startup's strengths and weaknesses, as well as the market it is in will develop over time and new SWOT analyses should be conducted periodically to reflect these changes accurately. This will allow startups to react to the changes accordingly.
As the old adage goes "if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail"; a good product is only one part of the formula to a successful startup's journey.

Abstract: Contemporary sports imply huge training volumes, with thus an increasing danger of overloading. The timely detection of the state of overloading in the organism as a whole or in skeletal muscles presents a difficult and complicated problem. A standardized questionnaire has been proposed by the French consensus group on overtraining of the Société Française de Médecine du Sport (SFMS) and allows the calculation of a "score" that may help to quantify the early clinical symptoms of the overtraining syndrome in sportsmen submitted to a heavy training program. We previously reported that this overtraining score is correlated with blood viscosity due …to a correlation of this score with plasma viscosity and hematocrit. When subjects with a high score were compared to subjects with a lower score they appeared to have a higher blood viscosity at native (but not corrected) hematocrit, explained by higher values in both plasma viscosity and hematocrit. By contrast, there was no difference in RBC deformability and aggregation. Therefore, the early signs of overtraining in elite sportsmen are associated with a hemorheologic pattern that suggests some degree of reversal of the "autohemodilution" which characterizes fitness. In a further study we reported that the feeling of heavy legs in overtrained athletes is related to impaired hemorheology. Although well matched with controls for age and body composition, subjects with a complaint of heavy legs had higher plasma viscosity and a higher red cell aggregation as measured with laser backscattering. These findings suggest that the feeling of heavy legs in overtrained athletes are related to hemorheologic disturbances. In the light of the recent concept explaining this syndrome by a mild chronic inflammatory reaction, the investigation of hemorheology in overtraining can be a promising area for hemorheologists, providing both markers and likely pathophysiological explanations for some symptoms of this situation.

Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is associated with vascular abnormalities. Hemorheological variables as well as the transcutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2 ) were measured in 38 diabetic patients with critical limb ischemia to assess whether these variables could be of value to follow the deterioration in foot disease. Patients with previous history of foot ulcers or frank ulcers on presentation were followed for foot care. After a 12‐month follow‐up, they were divided into 2 subgroups based on the regression of foot disease: 30% of patients improved foot ischemia, i.e., healed or improved ulcer, while the remainder 70% deteriorated, i.e., impaired ulcer or underwent an …amputation. RBC aggregation, plasma viscosity and fibrinogen level obserevd at baseline visit, were significantly higher in the patients who deteriorated. Blood viscosity values at both shear rates high and low were not significantly different between the 2 subgroups. TcPO2 was significantly lower in patients who deteriorated compared with those who improved. With regard to prognostic values, RBC aggregation parameters and fibrinogen level offered the highest positive predictive values (of 89%, 94%, and 88% respectively), comparable to that associated with TcPO2 (94%). Further analyses showed that combining markers of hemorheology with TcPO2 especially when TcPO2 value is in the range of 10–30 mmHg, may improve prognostic value for the management of the diabetic foot disease.

Abstract: Our efforts have focused on investigating the potential benefit of encapsulated thrombolytic agents for treatment of clot‐based crises. Liposome encapsulated plasminogen activators (LEPAs) have demonstrated improved thrombolysis in vivo in multiple laboratories. Compared to free agents, LEPAs demonstrate faster reperfusion times, reduced residual clot masses, and more rapid and complete restoration of blood flow. We have encapsulated streptokinase in both liposomes (LESK) and polymer microcapsules (MESK). Both formulations demonstrated reductions in reperfusion times, residual clot mass, and improved return of flow compared to identical dosages of free streptokinase in a thrombosed rabbit carotid, with MESK resulting in comparable or even …greater improvements. In addition, marked reductions in bleeding complications and ventricular infarct size have been observed in a canine model of acute myocardial infarction. The mechanism for MESK has recently been explored in our laboratory using multiple microscopic techniques. MESK appears to resist adsorption to the leading edge of the thrombus, a common limitation for the permeation of free plasminogen activators. By avoiding adsorption and penetrating the thrombus, greater spatial distribution of the agent within the clot can be achieved. This data suggests that encapsulation of streptokinase could provide a therapeutic option for treatment of thrombosed arteries. Show more

Abstract: Leukocytes, and in particular polymorphonuclear cells (PMN), play a role in the organ injury that characterizes the progression of vascular atherosclerotic disease (VAD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). We enrolled subjects with VAD, subjects with type 2 DM (DM2) and subjects with VAD and DM2. We evaluated the initial relative flow rate (IRFR) of PMN, using the St.George Filtrometer, the PMN membrane fluidity, labelling intact PMN cells with the fluorescent probe 1.4‐(trimethylamino)‐phenyl‐4‐phenylhexatriene (TMA‐DPH), the PMN cytosolic Ca2+ content marking the cells with the fluorescent probe Fura 2‐AM and the PMN integrin profile using the flow cytofluorimetry. All these evaluations were …effected at baseline and after activation with 4‐phorbol‐12‐myristate‐13‐acetate (PMA). At baseline and after activation the IRFR did not distinguish normal subjects from any group of patients. The PMN membrane fluidity at baseline differentiated only normal from DM2 subjects, while after activation no significant variation of this parameter was observed in normal, VAD, DM2 and VAD‐DM2 subjects. The PMN cytosolic Ca2+ content, at baseline, discriminated only normal from VAD subjects with DM2, while after activation a significant increase of this parameter was evident in DM2 subjects and in VAD subjects with DM2. Regarding the PMN integrin pattern we observed, at baseline and after activation, a complex and non‐univocal behaviour. In conclusion, the PMN rheological and metabolic pattern found in these groups of patients showed only small functional alterations while the integrin pattern was significantly different from that of normal subjects and added specific elements which may have potential therapeutical implications.

Abstract: Aspirin, ticlopidine and clopidogrel are used as a pharmacological means to efficiently decrease the number of reoccurrence of ischemic stroke (100–325 mg/d). This antiplatelet treatment could prevent the secondary stroke by approximately 22%. Laboratory effective platelet inhibition for the clinician, and methods for routine screening evaluation for the laboratory were studied. (1) For the standardisation of platelet aggregation technology blood samples of 150 healthy persons were studied in 5 centres. CARAT TX computerised optical aggregometer was used for measuring with collagen (2 μg/ml), epinephrine (10 μM), arachidonic acid 0.5 mM and ADP 5 μM as inductors. (2) Laboratory tests were …compared in each centres performed in platelet‐rich plasma of ischemic cardiovascular and stroke patients (n=823) taking 100–325 mg aspirin/d. (3) Blood samples of 555 ischemic stroke patients treated with aspirin (100–325 mg/d), 96 patients treated with ticlopidine (500 mg/d), and 67 patients treated with clopidogrel (75 mg/d) were evaluated, respectively. (1) The mean of maximal aggregation (%) − 2SD of untreated controls (n=150) were detected for collagen with 64%, epinephrine 59% and ADP 62%. (2) In 823 aspirin treated patients were found similar inhibition in different centres with same methods for standardisation. The mean inhibition level was in case of collagen 38%, epinephrine 37% and ADP 61%. (3) The distribution of ineffective platelet inhibition was detected in 17% of aspirin group (collagen and epinephrine), 4% of ticlopidine and 18% of clopidogrel group with ADP, respectively. Our findings were in the stroke cohort: effective inhibition levels: 36% in aspirin group, 73% in ticlopidine and 25% treated with clopidogrel. Platelet aggregation tests could help to find the optimal, and "custom taylored" dose of antiaggregating drugs in the secondary prevention of ischemic stroke. Show more

Abstract: Development of new drugs is a sophisticated process that requires several, different methods. In our experiments we have applied two rheological models to study experimental and clinically used drugs. The antioxidant properties of several agents were estimated by erythrocyte filtration technique. The known antioxidant compound vitamin E was used to validate our measurements. An experimental cardioprotective agent, H‐2545 provided significant protection against oxidative changes in red blood cell filterability (p<0.001). Although some of the examined, known cardiovascular drugs also showed significant antioxidant effect, they were less efficient than H‐2545 and the scavenger effect of this novel agent exceeded the …antioxidant properties of vitamin E. Modification of mexiletine with a pyrroline ring improved significantly its antioxidant capacity suggesting this molecular segment to be responsible for the antioxidant effect. In our second model the antiplatelet effect of experimental poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors was evaluated. Two widely used antiplatelet agents: acetyl salicylic acid and eptifibatide served as controls in the validation of the measurements. PARP inhibitors reduced ADP‐induced platelet aggregation in a dose‐dependent manner (p<0.05). However, their hindrance on platelet aggregation waned as the concentration of ADP rose. Regarding the platelets' role in the development of ischemic vascular diseases, the antiaggregating property of PARP inhibitors may exert additional beneficial effects on tissue blood supply under conditions of compromised vascular flow.

Abstract: A basic tool in microcirculation research is laser Doppler fluxmetry (LDF). The chaotic behaviour of the measured LDF‐time series acquires mathematical tools like, for instance, Wavelets. The notion of contrast is known as useful tool to measure differences between two LDF‐time series [K. Bräuer, Chaos, Attraktoren und Fraktale, Logos, Berlin, 2002]. The one time series arises from the blood flow in healthy skin and the other from a pigmented symmetric contra lateral skin lesion. Our approach is based on taking the contrast from all shorter non‐overlapping time intervals of approximate length 5 or 10 seconds. This gives a sample or …more precisely, a time series of contrast values. Our goal is an expert system to decide between malign and beligne lesions by estimating the probability for a maligne lesion. As a data base we again use the same data set as [H.‐M. Häfner, K. Bräuer, M. Eichner, A. Steins, M. Möhrle, A. Blum and M. Jünger, Wavelet analysis of cutaneous blood flow in melanocytic skin lesions, J. Vasc. Res., submitted]. The statistical tool is logistic regression. We can show that 93% of data are correctly classified. If we check the expert system against the independent data base of the Greifswald dermatology department we get 78% correctly classified cases. Further work must be done to find a well distributed data base for an expert release system. Show more

Abstract: In this study, the extent to which intramuscular pO2 is influenced by a single HELP‐apheresis (Heparin‐induced Extracorporeal LDL Precipitation) was investigated in 10 patients with cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) and severe lipid disorder. For this purpose, a sterile flexible pO2 microcatheter was inserted into the anterior tibial muscle and pO2 monitoring was begun 10 minutes before starting apheresis treatment. The intramuscular pO2 values were recorded continuously until the end of apheresis treatment and a subsequent 30‐minute further observation phase. The patients with CAV and severe lipid disorder presented with 11.6±3.8 mmHg significantly and pathologically reduced …intramuscular pO2 (p<0.001). LDL apheresis resulted in a significant increase in pO2 in the anterior tibial muscle. Thirty minutes after the end of HELP‐apheresis, intramuscular partial oxygen pressure had increased by 162% and showed values at this point, 30.3±9.8 mmHg, similar to those found in healthy subjects.

How much weight can you lose in 24 hour fast
At some point in life, the desire to lose weight drives someone to seek for weight loss methods from a 24 hour fast. You may come across practices such as eating more fiber, using whey proteins, doing cardio or fasting.
You may be wondering:
What is 24 hour fast? Is it safe? How much weight can you lose in 24 hour fast? In the article below, we cover these questions and more. Read on and discover how fasting can help you lose weight naturally and rapidly.
What is a 24 hour fast?
30 years ago, fasting was only associated with the religious community; it was done on special days when people wanted to show dedication to their God.
Medics and researchers were wary of this trend. However, they noted that the people who practiced fasting would lose weight quickly and remained more energized. This led to numerous scientific studies that discovered the multiple benefits of fasting.
Intermittent fasting or 24 hour fasting involves one depriving themselves of food for 12 to 24 hours. Scientists have researched the three popular fasting methods and have come up with the following findings about each technique.
Intermittent calorie restriction: this method was researched by Dr. Michelle Harvie. Dr. Harvie has focused on what she calls the 2-day or 5:2 diet that involves restricting calories intake for 2 consecutive days in a week.
Zero calories for you
Time-restricted feeding: This fasting method has been researched and backed by Dr. Satchidananda Panda and other scientists. Time-restricted feeding (TRF) 24 hour fast method that involves limiting calorie consumption for some hours, preferably 8 to 12 hours, each day.
Panda explains his concept in simple terms. Your digestive system works in a sequence. When you have breakfast, your body organs align themselves to do their particular digestive tasks. Then they go on standby, for self-maintenance, until your next meal.
Harvie also insists on the importance of continuing physical exercises even on restricted days.
When you binge eat, say at midnight, the digestive process is thrown off balance, and the calories you consume are turned into bad fats.
He recommends that one should eat at given intervals to maintain their digestive rhythm.
Periodic fasting- this fasting model has been studied by Prof. Valter Longo.
This professor has discovered that when one limits their calorie intake during their 3 to 5 days fast, the body begins ketogenesis. When you return to your regular calorie consumption, the broken cells will rebuild themselves helping you to lose weight.
Is it safe?
How intermittent fasting works on your body
1. Boosts metabolism through hormones: As you fast, three hormones work in unison to help you lose stubborn fat. These hormones are Norepinephrine, Human growth hormone (HGH) and insulin.
Norepinephrine works with fat cells to break down stored fat that the body uses for energy. HCG levels are boosted, and this helps in burning fat, building and maintaining muscle mass. Low levels of insulin help in burning body fat.
2. Retains muscle: Some of the most common dieting models burn not only fat but muscle as well. This is not beneficial to the body.
Intermittent fasting methodologies, such as intermittent calorie restriction, have help in fat loss while still maintaining muscle mass.
3. Burns fat faster: The energy you use for your daily activities is derived from the calories you consume. When you go without food for some time, your body is automatically starting to break down stored calories. This will, in turn, help you to lose weight faster. It's highly recommended that one continues with their exercise routine.
4. Targets stubborn belly fat: No one likes a wobbly midsection. A flabby belly is uncomfortable and embarrassing. Belly fat is hard to lose, even with targeted exercises. However, a 24 hour fast works by activating b2 receptors and increasing blood flow around the abdominal area which makes it easier for fat to burn.
5. Reduces calories consumption and leads to rapid weight loss.
The more food you ingest, the higher your calorie intake, and the more weight you gain.
The opposite of this rule also applies. Recent research has proved that people who undertook a 24 hour fast lost up to up to 0.5 pounds per week. Their waists also reduced by 4-7%.
Quick Note
Understand that you will lose weight according to your body's ability to lose weight, height, and consistency.
additional fasting benefits
Expert tips on 24 hour fast
without expert tips on how to succeed in intermittent fasting. Pick a day when you are busy. A busy day is ideal because you are assured your mind will stay engaged.
Most people tend to binge eat when they are idle. Researchers recommend that one goes with little or no food for 24 hours. The rationale for this is the body breaks down the bad fat between the 12th and 16th hour. Start your fast in the evening and resume eating the following evening.
Take in a lot of water, green tea, apple cider vinegar or lemon tea to keep your body hydrated. Avoid strenuous activities. If you will take small meals, avoid food that has high-calorie levels and sugar. Incorporate exercises to speed up the weight loss process.
When you end a fast, do not eat solid food. Instead, start with juices, then fruits, and then ease into solid food. This will help your stomach readjust easily.
The journey to the perfect body size can be tedious, especially when you are using the wrong methods. A 24 hour fast is safe, guarantees you the results you desire, and has numerous benefits.
The guide above gives you a peek at some of the benefits and simple evidence-based methods you can use to do intermittent fasting.

Hi all!
I recently created a game on Android Studio. I am a UX Designer, but had recently done a few UX projects on games and enjoyed doing it. I took some time out to do Simply Maths and one other game (Monster Play) with the development help from my developer friends. It might not be a really unique or one of kind games - please don't judge too strictly. It is my very first attempt and any feedback on the UI, features or how to improve it, will be really helpful!
I found out about this forum also through my developer friends, but I had already put up the game on the GPlay through a publisher. But I would really appreciate any feedback and help to improve on the next games. I am unable to post a link or any images. I am also not sure how to attach an apk for you all to review, but you can access the game from GPlay on here:
Simply Maths by Gamifying on GooglePlay
Please leave feedback and reviews, either on this post, or on the Gplay - I will read and reply to each one
As a newbie, I will really appreciate it and am here to learn more and stay!
Kind regards,

Ben Graham's Curse on Gold
February 20, 2012
This week we have a shorter Outside the Box, from my friend David Galland at Casey Research, with an interesting insight into why gold can be considered as a poor investment by some rather influential investors (like Warren Buffett) while others may see it as the core of a diversified portfolio. As usual when I use someone's material for an OTB, I include a link at the end, if you want to look deeper. The rather large team at Casey Research specializes in gold, natural resources, and energy-related investments, for those with such an investing bent.
As a quick note, the feedback on this weekend's letter on taxes has been substantial, and a great deal of it is quite good and worth thinking about. Many bring up real problems with the position I took in my letter, and I may surprise you by agreeing with some of them. My intention right now (barring something happening between now and Friday night) is to take some of the better statements and questions, and answer them. I am not married to any specific plan. I just want to solve the problem and am open to anything that is politically feasible and makes sense, as long as we solve the basic problem of the deficit. I think it will make for a very interesting letter. I do read your feedback, by the way. So if you wanted to respond and wondered if I might actually read it, the answer is yes I do, and this week will answer as many as I can.
And to answer a question I get a lot, I buy a little physical gold every month. I don't even look at the price. The check is written the same day each month, for the same amount. I take delivery. I hope the price of gold goes down so I can get more gold per dollar. I also hope it ends up being worthless, as that will mean everything else has worked out just fine. But my gold is there just in case my crazy gold bug friends are right and we can't actually trust the government to find a reasonable solution to our dilemma. And maybe because deep down I really don't trust the (insert your favorite expletive). Just a little insurance, you understand.
So, until we connect this weekend, have a great week!
Your I am not a gold bug analyst,
Portfolio: Venezuela's Search for Economic Security
September 8, 2011
You're familiar with my thoughts on gold: I buy it regularly as insurance, not an investment. Now here's something you didn't expect: I just watched a STRATFOR video and learned that the Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, keeps an epic 60 percent of the nation's reserves in gold. Wow. Guess he sees it as insurance as well?
Watch the video. It covers four recent moves by the ailing leader in an attempt to drum up some cash for his social programs, which can only be interpreted as a strategy to keep his waxing and waning political support strong. It all goes to show that Venezuela is a nation to watch, for better or worse, given Chavez's illness and the absence of a strong successor.
Oh, and let's not forget that the U.S. imports about a million barrels per day of oil from Venezuela, or 8 percent of total U.S. oil imports ... not insignificant.
After you <<watch and digest the video>>, I suggest subscribing to STRATFOR to access all their geopolitical intelligence. They cover everything from Chavez to China, and all things in between, with a unique perspective. OTB readers get a whopping 63% discount off their first year, plus a free copy of The Next Decade, the forward-looking bestseller by STRATFOR CEO and founder George Friedman. Try them out. As they say, it's a golden opportunity.
Your keen on geopolitics analyst,
The End of QE2: Major Policy Shift Ahead
April 11, 2011
This week's Outside the Box is from my friend David Galland, an interview he did for The Casey Report, and it represents a philosophical train of thought more in line with Austrian economics and libertarianism than my own. But if we only read what we already think, then how do we learn? It is only when your ideas are challenged and you must determine why the other guys are wrong and you are right, that you can either become more firm in your beliefs, or change. And much of what David says in this interview resonates. (I wrote about the end of QE2 a few weeks ago.)
The guys at Casey are natural resources, commodities, and precious metals investors. Yet David argues that cash might be the wise thing now, after pounding the table for years on gold. He believes that the end of QE2 will be more important and dramatic than most think. That it is coming to an end I have no doubt, so it is important to think about what the effects, if any, will be. There are those who argue that we can live without it now. I argued (and still do) that we should have never had it. The unintended consequences are the ones I worry about. We just don't know. It was a crazy experiment, with no understanding of what would really happen. But hoping for the best is not a strategy, so let's think about it. David provides us with some different ways to look at the process.
You can subscribe to The Casey Report at a 20% discount for my readers, right here.
And for those who want to read more, you can get a free subscription to Conversations with Casey, which is a weekly e-letter delivered directly to your inbox every Wednesday. Contrarian investor and financial bestselling author Doug Casey talks about the economy, the markets, politics, society, and anything else that matters in life… a fireworks of informative, controversial, and entertaining viewpoints from one of the most original free-market thinkers of our time. Occasionally CWC will also feature interviews with Casey editors or "outside experts" on current market moves or important economic or political events. If you don't like libertarian thought, be warned. You can subscribe here.
Last, a housekeeping item. I "fat-fingered" my inbox and lost about a hundred emails from the last three months or so, which I planned to get around to, but now they are buried in about 25,000 deleted files. (It's what happens when you don't touch-type and have to look at the keyboard. Yes, I know…) One way to clean out your inbox I guess, but if I owe you something, you might want to drop me a note again.
Your already buried with 75 new emails in a few hours analyst,
