The guys will be back Thursday or Friday to mulch, and shopping for a Japanese lantern is on my Saturday to-do list.
Its finally starting to not look like an old lady house.
Like what you did -- I thought society garlic was not winter hardy here. Am I wrong?
Well Martha, now that you mention it I don't know. Maybe that's why it was half-price.
We're concentrating on foundation planting and perennials. I suppose if I lose them its not a huge deal, but I was planning on them coming back. Off to look that up. =)
Ok, it says its hardy in zones 7 through 10. I've always thought we were zone 6, then again last winter was ridiculously mild. I'll be interested to see what happens next spring.
Looking good! Everytime I see new boxwood I think "that will look so great in 30 years" but it looks good now!
They seem to like their spots Stefan. The house faces north so they get a good amount of sun most of the day. The ones on the east side are only going to get morning sun, so I expect them to take a lot longer to fill in.

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India, and Indonesia
Elizabeth Gilbert, 2006
Penguin Group USA
338 pp.
This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life.
Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali.
By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls "Anne Lamott's hip, yoga-practicing, footloose younger sister") is poised to garner yet more adoring fans. (From the publisher.)
Author Bio
• Birth—July 18, 1969
• Raised—Litchfield, Connecticut, USA
• Education—B.A., New York University
• Awards—Pushcart Prize
• Currently—Frenchtown, New Jersey
Elizabeth M. Gilbert is an American author, essayist, short story writer, biographer, novelist and memoirist. She is best known for her 2006 memoir, Eat, Pray, Love, which spent 200 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list, and was also made into a film by the same name in 2010.
Gilbert was born in Waterbury, Connecticut. Her father was a chemical engineer, her mother a nurse. Along with her only sister, novelist Catherine Gilbert Murdock, Gilbert grew up on a small family Christmas tree farm in Litchfield, Connecticut. The family lived in the country with no neighbors, and they didn't own a TV or even a record player. Consequently, they all read a great deal, and Gilbert and her sister entertained themselves by writing little books and plays.
Gilbert earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from New York University in 1991, after which she worked as a cook, a waitress, and a magazine employee. She wrote of her experience as a cook on a dude ranch in short stories, and also briefly in her book The Last American Man (2002).
Esquire published Gilbert's short story "Pilgrims" in 1993, under the headline, "The Debut of an American Writer." She was the first unpublished short story writer to debut in Esquire since Norman Mailer. This led to steady—and well paying—work as a journalist for a variety of national magazines, including SPIN, GQ, New York Times Magazine, Allure, Real Simple, and Travel + Leisure.
Her 1997 GQ article, "The Muse of the Coyote Ugly Saloon", a memoir of Gilbert's time as a bartender at the very first Coyote Ugly table dancing bar located in the East Village section of New York City, was the basis for the feature film Coyote Ugly (2000). She adapted her 1998 GQ article, "The Last American Man: Eustace Conway is Not Like Any Man You've Ever Met," into a biography of the modern naturalist, The Last American Man, which received a nomination for the National Book Award in non-fiction. "The Ghost," a profile of Hank Williams III published by GQ in 2000, was included in Best American Magazine Writing 2001.
Early books
Gilbert's first book Pilgrims (1997), a collection of short stories, received the Pushcart Prize and was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award. This was followed by her novel Stern Men (2000), selected as a New York Times "Notable Book." In 2002 she published The Last American Man (2002), a biography of Eustace Conway, a modern woodsman and naturalist, which was nominated for National Book Award.
Eat, Pray, Love
In 2006, Gilbert published Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia (Viking), a chronicle of her year of "spiritual and personal exploration" spent traveling abroad. She financed her world travel for the book with a $200,000 publisher's advance.
The memoir was on the New York Times Best Seller List of non-fiction in the spring of 2006, and in October 2008, after 88 weeks, the book was still on the list at number 2. Gilbert appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2007, and has reappeared on the show to further discuss the book and her philosophy, and to discuss the film. She was named by Time as among the 100 most influential people in the world. The film version was released in 2010 with Julia Roberts starring as Gilbert.
After EPL
Gilbert's fifth book, Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage, was released in 2010. The book is somewhat of a sequel to Eat, Pray, Love in that it takes up Gilbert's life story where her bestseller left off. Committed also reveals Gilbert's decision to marry Felipe, the Brazilian man she met in Indonesia as recounted in the final section of EPL. The book is an examination of the institution of marriage from several historical and modern perspectives—including those of people, particularly women, reluctant to marry. In the book, Gilbert also includes perspectives on same-sex marriage and compares this to interracial marriage prior to the 1970s. Gilbert and Felipe are still married and operate a story called Two Buttons.
In 2012, she republished At Home on the Range, a 1947 cookbook written by her great-grandmother, the food columnist Margaret Yardley Potter.
Gilbert returned to fiction in 2013 with The Signature of All Things, a sprawling 19th-century style novel following the life of a young female botonist. The book brings together that century's fascination with botany, botanical drawing, spiritual inquiry, exploration, and evolution. Kirkus Reviews called it "a brilliant exercise of intellect and imagination," and Booklist a "must read."
Literary influences
In an interview, Gilbert mentioned The Wizard of Oz with nostalgia, adding, "I am a writer today because I learned to love reading as a child—and mostly on account of the Oz books..." She is especially vocal about the importance of Charles Dickens to her, mentioning his stylistic influence on her writing in many interviews. She lists Marcus Aurelius' Meditations as her favorite book on philosophy. (Adapted from Wikipedia. Retrieved 9/16/2013.)
Book Reviews
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman in possession of a broken heart must be in want of a good meal. Elizabeth Gilbert takes Jane Austen's maxim to extraordinary lengths in her smart, delightful book. On a year-long quest for inner peace, she first heads to Italy, where she eats four-months worth of pasta, gelato, calamari, stewed rabbit, pickled hyacinth bulbs, and the best pizza in the world.
A LitLovers LitPick (June '07)
The only thing wrong with this readable, funny memoir of a magazine writer's yearlong travels across the world in search of pleasure and balance is that it seems so much like a Jennifer Aniston movie.
Grace Lichtenstein - Washington Post
At the age of thirty-one, Gilbert moved with her husband to the suburbs of New York and began trying to get pregnant, only to realize that she wanted neither a child nor a husband. Three years later, after a protracted divorce, she embarked on a yearlong trip of recovery, with three main stops: Rome, for pleasure (mostly gustatory, with a special emphasis on gelato); an ashram outside of Mumbai, for spiritual searching; and Bali, for "balancing." These destinations are all on the beaten track, but Gilbert's exuberance and her self-deprecating humor enliven the proceedings: recalling the first time she attempted to speak directly to God, she says, "It was all I could do to stop myself from saying, 'I've always been a big fan of your work.'
The New Yorker
Gilbert (The Last American Man) grafts the structure of romantic fiction upon the inquiries of reporting in this sprawling yet methodical travelogue of soul-searching and self-discovery. Plagued with despair after a nasty divorce, the author, in her early 30s, divides a year equally among three dissimilar countries, exploring her competing urges for earthly delights and divine transcendence. First, pleasure: savoring Italy's buffet of delights—the world's best pizza, free-flowing wine and dashing conversation partners—Gilbert consumes la dolce vita as spiritual succor. "I came to Italy pinched and thin," she writes, but soon fills out in waist and soul. Then, prayer and ascetic rigor: seeking communion with the divine at a sacred ashram in India, Gilbert emulates the ways of yogis in grueling hours of meditation, struggling to still her churning mind. Finally, a balancing act in Bali, where Gilbert tries for equipoise "betwixt and between" realms, studies with a merry medicine man and plunges into a charged love affair. Sustaining a chatty, conspiratorial tone, Gilbert fully engages readers in the year's cultural and emotional tapestry—conveying rapture with infectious brio, recalling anguish with touching candor-as she details her exotic tableau with history, anecdote and impression.

Library Journal
An unsuccessful attempt at a memoir from novelist and journalist Gilbert (The Last American Man, 2002, etc.). While weeping one night on the bathroom floor because her marriage was falling apart, the author had a profound spiritual experience, crying out to and hearing an answer of sorts from God. Eventually, Gilbert left her husband, threw herself headlong into an intense affair, then lapsed into as intense a depression when the affair ended. After all that drama, we get to the heart of this book, a year of travel during which the author was determined to discover peace and pleasure. In Rome, she practiced Italian and ate scrumptious food. Realizing that she needed to work on her "boundary issues," she determined to forego the pleasure of sex with Italian men. In India, she studied at the ashram of her spiritual guru (to whom she had been introduced by the ex-lover), practiced yoga and learned that in addition to those pesky difficulties with boundaries, she also had "control issues." Finally she headed to Bali, where she became the disciple of a medicine man, befriended a single mother and fell in love with another expat. Quirky supporting characters pop up here and there, speaking a combination of wisdom and cliche. At the ashram, for example, she meets a Texan who offers such improbable aphorisms as, "You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughtta be." Gilbert's divorce and subsequent depression, which she summarizes in about 35 pages, are in fact more interesting than her year of travel. The author's writing is prosaic, sometimes embarrassingly so: "I'm putting this happiness in a bank somewhere, not merely FDIC protected but guarded by my four spirit brothers." Lacks the sparkle of her fiction.
Kirkus Reviews
Discussion Questions
1. Gilbert writes that "the appreciation of pleasure can be the anchor of humanity," making the argument that America is "an entertainment-seeking nation, not necessarily a pleasure-seeking one." Is this a fair assessment?
2. After imagining a petition to God for divorce, an exhausted Gilbert answers her phone to news that her husband has finally signed. During a moment of quietude before a Roman fountain, she opens her Louise Glück collection to a verse about a fountain, one reminiscent of the Balinese medicine man's drawing. After struggling to master a 182-verse daily prayer, she succeeds by focusing on her nephew, who suddenly is free from nightmares. Do these incidents of fortuitous timing signal fate? Cosmic unity? Coincidence?
3. Gilbert hashes out internal debates in a notebook, a place where she can argue with her inner demons and remind herself about the constancy of self-love. When an inner monologue becomes a literal conversation between a divided self, is this a sign of last resort or of self-reliance?
4. When Gilbert finally returns to Bali and seeks out the medicine man who foretold her return to study with him, he doesn't recognize her. Despite her despair, she persists in her attempts to spark his memory, eventually succeeding. How much of the success of Gilbert's journey do you attribute to persistence?
5. Prayer and meditation are both things that can be learned and, importantly, improved. In India, Gilbert learns a stoic, ascetic meditation technique. In Bali, she learns an approach based on smiling. Do you think the two can be synergistic? Or is Ketut Liyer right when he describes them as "same-same"?
6. Gender roles come up repeatedly in Eat, Pray, Love, be it macho Italian men eating cream puffs after a home team's soccer loss, or a young Indian's disdain for the marriage she will be expected to embark upon at age eighteen, or the Balinese healer's sly approach to male impotence in a society where women are assumed responsible for their childlessness. How relevant is Gilbert's gender?
7. In what ways is spiritual success similar to other forms of success? How is it different? Can they be so fundamentally different that they're not comparable?
8. Do you think people are more open to new experiences when they travel? And why?
9. Abstinence in Italy seems extreme, but necessary, for a woman who has repeatedly moved from one man's arms to another's. After all, it's only after Gilbert has found herself that she can share herself fully in love. What does this say about her earlier relationships?
10. Gilbert mentions her ease at making friends, regardless of where she is. At one point at the ashram, she realizes that she is too sociable and decides to embark on a period of silence, to become the Quiet Girl in the Back of the Temple. It is just after making this decision that she is assigned the role of ashram key hostess. What does this say about honing one's nature rather than trying to escape it? Do you think perceived faults can be transformed into strengths rather than merely repressed?
10. Sitting in an outdoor café in Rome, Gilbert's friend declares that every city-and every person-has a word. Rome's is "sex," the Vatican's "power"; Gilbert declares New York's to be "achieve," but only later stumbles upon her own word, antevasin, Sanskrit for "one who lives at the border." What is your word? Is it possible to choose a word that retains its truth for a lifetime?

Alright…I'm sick as a dog (and how sick is THAT, you ask?) but I REALLY wanted to participate in this week's challenge over at Sunday Postcard Art. Because I do not use a lot of vintage images, this wasn't that easy for me. But I did step outside of my own box a little, and using some inspiration from Trader Joe's Fearless Flyer. For those of you who are not familiar with Trader Joe's, it is a wonderful grocery store chain that puts out an advertisement flyer which features old vintage cartoons that have been given new captions (in the context of the ads).
Well, Sweet Mary here is an image I cut out from a 1953 children's choirbook. It was to illustrate some song about "helping mother" or some such thing.
MATERIALS: Strathmore watercolor postcard; "Hide and Seek" #SPBBP06 Baby Collection (EK Success); velvet lime green ric-rac (stash) and a "Tranquility" Sunflower Slide (Maya Road)

One of our physiotherapists, Emma, attended his course and had the following to say.
"I was first introduced to mindfulness meditation on a Physiotherapy course and as a healthcare professional I was intrigued to know more. I wanted to know how mindfulness meditation could help me personally and my clients to deal with everyday stressors, be they emotional or physical. I have been very fortunate to learn mindfulness under the expert guidance of Bhante Samitha, who has been a master of meditation for 20 years. Bhante has taught me a lifeliong skill; enabling me to spend more time living in the present rather than thinking about the future or ruminating on the past, which I feel is a highly valuable skill in today's busy and sometimes stressful society. Mindfulness can be defined as "Moment-by-moment awareness of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment, characterized mainly by "acceptance" - attention to thoughts and feelings without judging whether they are right or wrong. Mindfulness focuses the human brain on what is being sensed at each moment, instead of on its normal rumination on the past or on the future (Wikipedia)" . Mindfulness for me has been a subtle concept yet the benefits have been profound. I highly recommend Bhante as an expert teacher in art of mindfulness".

Research out today has revealed that over 21% of the British public think an acupuncturist's needle is as large as that used in an injection, proving that despite the ancient Chinese medicine's rising popularity there are still a host of common misconceptions surrounding the treatment.
Jane Morris, local acupuncturist and member of the British Acupuncture Council, comments on the research: "2.3 million acupuncture treatments are carried out each year by traditional acupuncturists and this figure is rising, yet this research shows myths surrounding the therapy still remain strong. Acupuncture Awareness Week, the first of its kind, aims to banish the myths and provide all the answers for those people who want to try acupuncture. At the Centre for Complementary Health we are supporting the campaign and offering 20% discount for all new Acupuncture bookings made during the week."

What is a Firkin and what is Firkin Fridays at Tally's?
This Friday we are having a Firkin Friday with Lucett Brewing Company featuring a special tapping of Pineapple infused firkin made with Ride Again Pale Ale. We will be doing special food features to tie-in the tropical firkin theme.
So, what the firkin is a firkin?
You may not be aware of this, but not all beer comes in bottles or kegs. Some beer is served up in a special container called a firkin. A firkin, which is derived from the Middle Dutch word vierdekijn (meaning fourth), is actually a small barrel of beer that is one-fourth the size of a regular barrel of beer. As opposed to a standard beer barrel, which contains 117.34 liters or roughly 30.96 gallons, a firkin full of cask ale will contain a volume of 40.91 liters or 10.79 gallons. These volume sizes are provided in U.S.-based gallons.
Besides its smaller size, what makes the firkin so special?
It is the fact that the firkin is typically dedicated to housing cask-conditioned ale, or beer that has not been cold-filtered, pasteurized and carbonated by outside equipment. The ale beer that is housed inside the firkin is naturally carbonated by its resident yeast and its ingredients have not been processed in any way outside of simple fermentation by the yeast. In essence, firkin-contained Ride Again Pale Ale is comparable to the ale beers that were produced hundreds of years ago, before industrialization subjected them to processes that removed and/or killed the yeast, stripping the beer of many of its inherent vitamins (especially the B vitamins), minerals, and perhaps most importantly, taste.
How is the Ride Again Pale Ale produced inside of the firkin?
When wort, which is the cooked mixture of water, barley and hops, has yeast added into it, fermentation of that wort into beer begins. This process is typically termed primary fermentation. After primary fermentation has run its course (i.e., the yeast are spent), the immature beer is transferred to another vessel for secondary fermentation. In this way, the yeast can get a fresh start on the immature beer and raise its alcohol percentage. Once secondary fermentation is complete, the beer is filtered and bottled or kegged. In some cases, however, secondary fermentation of the immature beer occurs inside of a firkin instead of a vessel like a steel tank. This immature beer then takes on the characteristics of the firkin, such as its wood flavor, for example. Once secondary fermentation is completed inside the firkin, the beer matures there and is not transferred out for filtration, pasteurization and bottling or kegging. Once the beer has matured inside of a firkin, the discovery process begins. Because secondary fermentation and maturation of the beer have both occurred inside of the firkin with no outside testing conducted, there is just no telling how the final product might look, feel, or taste. Also, individual yeast strains work differently depending on the firkin wood type, temperature, ingredients, length of fermentation, etc. Thus, when tapping a finished firkin for the first time, you just never know what you're going to get.
So, that's it. Stop in and try it, enjoy the lake views and make it a firkin awesome day trip to White Bear Lake.

After having learned how to drive a nixie tube with Arduino, today I'll show you how to read the data coming from the temperature sensor.
The sensor I chose, designed for liquid coolers, it's a 10Kohm thermistor. It's indeed a resistor whose value changes based on its temperature; the nominal value (10Kohm for my sensor) is the resistance the sensor has at a temperature of 25°.
I can therefore use an analog PIN of my Arduino to read the voltage across the sensor and then calculate the resistance. You also need to add a pull-down resistor – this too with a value of 10Kohm – as it follows:
To convert the raw data read by Arduino's ADC (analog to digital converter) to a temperature value, you can use the Steinhart-Hart equation:
this equation calculates the absolute temperature (T, Kelvin) from the resistance (R) and 3 constants that depends on the specific thermistor you're using. For 10Kohm sensors, the typical values of the constants are:
- a =0.001129148
- b =0.000234125
- c = 0.0000000876741
You can now write a function that calculates the Celsius temperature (Kelvin – 273,15) having the value returned by analogRead() (RawADC) as its input:
double Thermistor(int RawADC) { long Resistance; double Temp; Resistance = 10000.0*((1024.0 / RawADC) - 1); Temp = log(Resistance); Temp = 1 / (0.001129148 + (0.000234125 * Temp) + (0.0000000876741 * Temp * Temp * Temp)); Temp = Temp - 273.15; return Temp; }
I wrote a sketch (available on Github) that, every two seconds, reads the temperature from a thermistor connected to PIN A0 and displays it on the serial monitor:

While Microsoft executives say Linux competes chiefly with Unix systems such as SCO's instead of Windows NT, SCO believes the opposite.
"So far as we've seen it's actually helped us," said Greg Schwarzer, director of small and medium business marketing at SCO. "Linux has got the word out that Unix on Intel is a viable alternative to Microsoft."
In moving from version 7 to 7.1, SCO also has added a new version of UnixWare geared for smaller businesses and has added a "Webtop" that lets users and managers communicate with a UnixWare server using only a Java-enabled Web browser, Schwarzer said.
The new $1,399 Business Edition of UnixWare joins its higher-end brethren, the Departmental Edition and Enterprise Edition. And next month, SCO will announce a new top-end version geared for the "data center" computer, which companies use to run their most important programs, he added.
The new Business Edition of UnixWare will gradually supplant SCO's OpenServer in the small to medium business market, Schwarzer said, although SCO will continue to support the company's older Unix product by writing drivers, for example. UnixWare will henceforth get most of SCO's development efforts, and OpenServer won't get any new features.
OpenServer is a Unix product ultimately derived from a Microsoft version of Unix called Xenix. UnixWare, on the other hand, is the version of Unix SCO obtained from AT&T, via Novell, in 1995. Several companies must pay SCO royalties for their Unix products, Schwarzer said.
The future of Unix is equally complex. In a joint project with IBM and Sequent called Monterey, SCO and the other companies are turning SCO's UnixWare and IBM's AIX into a new version of Unix for systems using PowerPC chips and next-generation Intel 64-bit chips.
In the future, Schwarzer predicts that the Unix market will consolidate. Monterey, along with Sun Microsystem's Solaris and Hewlett-Packard's HP-UX, will remain as contenders, while others such as Silicon Graphics' Irix, Compaq's Tru64 Unix (formerly Digital Unix), and Data General's DG/UX will fall by the wayside.
Linux, meanwhile, has reinvigorated the Unix market, he said. "It has given a fresh, revitalized look to what people could do in the Intel space. Linux is a Unix movement. Revenues are going up strongly," Schwarzer said.
Adding support for Linux was a pragmatic choice. "We wanted our users to be able to take advantage of a lot of those applications being written for Linux," he said.
SCO has made the Linux compatibility software source code--the original programming instructions--publicly available, he said, giving the code back to the open source programming community that has developed Linux.
More important than the Linux support is the new WebTop software, Schwarzer said. WebTop is software that lets people interact with UnixWare servers using a Java-enabled Web browser, simplifying tasks such as launching programs on the server, checking who's on the network, and interacting with programs.
The browser interface works with either graphical or text-based programs. Special "application broker" software on the server intercepts the requests from clients and the responses from the server, translating back and forth so that programs on the server don't have to be rewritten.
WebTop expands the number of systems that can be used by clients, Schwarzer said, mentioning regular PCs, network computers, or dialup computers from home.
SCO will demonstrate the WebTop software at the LinuxWorld Expo next week in San Jose, California.
Along with WebTop, UnixWare Business Edition comes with support for streaming audio and video technology from Real Networks. SCO also has improved its VisionFS software, which provides file and print services for Windows machines. UnixWare 7.1 also comes with ArcserveIT backup software.
The Business Edition supports a single-CPU system with up 4 gigabytes of memory and up to five users.

A sleep study is done to examine the patient's sleep quality, which is used to diagnose not only snoring but also sleep apnea, leg movement disorders, parasomnia, and nocturnal seizures, which can all disrupt sleep quality. Before a patient can undergo a sleep study, they must first consult their doctor. The doctor will have to evaluate whether this study is appropriate based on the patient's current condition.
Those who require a diagnosis should be referred to a sleep disorder specialist in order to have their medical history reviewed and undergo a physical examination, both before and after the diagnosis. In order to fully consider all the various options for diagnosing and treating the patient experiencing the symptoms, the patient's sleeping partner should also attend the sleep lab so that the doctor can ask them about the patient's sleeping habits. This is beneficial because, due to the nature of some sleep behavior, the person who sleeps with the patient experiencing the symptoms may be able to provide valuable information.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Is it possible for a highly original film to wear out its welcome? Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a unique film that does just that through multiple endings and overlength, although there are many creative moments interspersed throughout. From a comic book, the film is directed by Edgar Wright, helmer of the beloved British Simon Pegg comedies. Inhabiting a reality that resembles a video game, Scott (Michael Cera) has found the girl of his dreams (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Now he must get out of his relationship with a high schooler, try to win battle of the bands, and earn his new crush's affection by defeating her 7 Evil Ex's who are trying to control her and destroy him. Although the filmmakers know they have an original and take things too far, I believe this film will be beloved by many in the same way that (500) Days of Summer was last year.

App provides real time livestock data
Australian farmers now have easy access to day-to-day livestock prices from across the country, which can be listed by buyers for free, with the release of a new app called LIVEstock Pricing on Monday.
Founded by Rob Kelly the app is the only one of its kind which takes the prices paid by buyers and sends them out to producers.
The app compiles Australian sheep, cattle and goat prices into a simple mobile format which can be accessed anywhere.
Prices can be filtered and sorted, searches can be saved for easy future access, and users can compare prices across states.
Mr Kelly says the idea for LIVEstock Pricing was born out of frustration over the lack of price information available for his family's farming enterprise in Western Australia.
"It is very easy to get an indicator of what the grain market is doing compared to livestock markets, which normally involves phone calls to agents or reading weekly reports," he said.
"But there is nothing in those reports which indicate how many buyers there are and what impact that might be having on pricing."
The app also offers value to agents and consultants as a quick reference to the market beyond their own private transactions and, by keeping clients up-to-date on market conditions, allows for effective decision making.
The initial version of the app is the first in a series of releases, with future updates to be based on feedback.
LIVEstock Pricing is available for download from Australian Google Play and the App Stores.

"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach. And his pants. But you go for the stomach first, because that's what classy women do." – Bonnie, More To Love
Yes, this brilliant quote came from the pilot of More To Love, which I will be following with great interest and a healthy dose of skepticism.
Check out this article.
A few excerpts:
"Grace Adler. Lorelei Gilmore. And, yes, Liz Lemon. You've seen them over and over, these slender women stuffing their faces for comic effect. Because they're quirky! And down to earth! And lonely! But always skinny, so it's okay!"
"Why are they all pretending to eat junk food constantly, yet maintaining Hollywood-tiny figures that clearly show the effects of restraint and exercise? …Maybe writers in Tinseltown find women eating normally to be such a novelty that it's the stuff of high comedy.
Thanks for the link, Sandra.
Go ahead and shed a tear for some of these shows that won't be returning.
Without a Trace, thanks for the one-year of employment. Here's to you…

Nice gesture just to try giving a good image of them!! The reality back in Portugal is different, like beat journalists, invade and threatening refs to death at their campus, wait and beat opponent team supporters etc could be here all day
Fair play little man you keep going and show others that you have the strength to do anything in life. Your will and desire will take you to places that you'd never thought you could go. I just wish to see Barca and Real Madrid fans are like these despite the fierce rivalry. I just don't seem to understand why both sets of fans need to fight each other. If there's the rivalry between sets of teams, then there's always be a peace within them.

Mick Krieg's venue, Rhino Room, recently dodged the wrecking ball's swing and relocated to Pirie Street. Now he is relaunching his two other ventures, Urban Cow Studio and The Howling Owl, in Vaughan Place.
Both venues have moved into the corner site once occupied by the curiously enduring Jahz Lounge. "It's a great location for us," says Krieg. "We're right between The Exeter and The Elephant, and the Palace Cinema is just next door."
Vaughan Place has been something of a refuge for displaced SA icons. When demolition ousted Radio Adelaide from its North Terrace home, the station shacked-up with nearby Fresh FM.
The new site presents some great opportunities for The Howling Owl. The venue's capacity is double that of its Frome Street premises, and there's a second storey for functions and overflow seating. Kreig and the team lugged all 80-plus varieties of gin from the old site to the new, and the bar is set up for drinks at night and coffee during the day. The menu will also expand, thanks to a larger, better-equipped kitchen.
Urban Cow Studio will again occupy a tenancy adjacent to the gin bar, into which Krieg has knocked through an archway, allowing customers to browse between the two spaces. "We've kept pretty much the same style [for the gallery], but it's a bit more upmarket."
Krieg has had a busy few months settling his businesses into their new homes. He's gotten used to the reality that 13 Frome Street will soon be no more, but admits it still makes him a little sad. Urban Cow Studio inhabited the space for 25 years. The 159-year-old building was one of Adelaide's first residential properties and from 1970–1985 it was a Hare Krishna temple. It is also the birthplace of those "Heaps Good" T-shirts. A 35-storey apartment and hotel development will soon stand on the site.

Delivering a core function that lies at the heart of the company, the finance and accounts department always has to be efficient, not just for the sake of streamlining business operations, but also for other objectives, such as meeting regulatory standards and building external goodwill. Making errors and creating delays in their work is not option for this department.
At the same time, companies are also asking this department to invest in technology and cut down on their staff. Businesses these days believe in running lean. So how can the finance department meet these competing demands and still run at peak efficiency? Some best practices are explained below.

Talk to as many members of the team as possible, even the junior most accountant. You will be surprised at the kind of insights they can give since they are the ones who are involved in the day-to-day processing. They often have some good ideas for eliminating unnecessary work, getting activities completed faster, and finding new ways of collaborating with other teams. Listen to these ideas and if they are good enough, implement them.
Training and Development:
Cross-train team members, so that at no point in time are you faced with personnel shortage. It is never a good idea to have all the knowledge housed with a few individuals. It should be shared with the whole team. What would happen if those few individuals were to suddenly leave or fall unwell? There would be a serious knowledge gap. Avoid such situations by conducting regular process training, ensuring back-ups for all roles, and ensuring all essential functions are well documented.
Leverage Technology:
Use cloud computing technology because this not only makes your data safe, but it also allows multiple people from multiple locations to access the data and work on it. Companies can even provide work-from-home facilities if they have all their data stored in the cloud.
Establish Deadlines:
Set deadlines and make adhering to them mandatory. Indiscipline and lackadaisical work ethics are two of the biggest time and money wasters for companies. Financial statements have to be submitted on time. Compliance policies and internal controls have to be met. Senior executives depend on financial data to make decisions. Create a work calendar and make sure that all team members meet the deadlines come what may.
Batch Processing:
Take advantage of batch processing. Do not process every single invoice and every receipt that comes one at a time. Create a system where they can all be gathered and consolidated, and processed in one go. This will save time and effort.
Utilize Accounting Systems:
Buy accounting systems that are easy to learn. Many accountants are not necessarily technical geniuses. The last thing you want is to hand them complex financial technology that confuses them. Invest in technology by all means, but invest in a system that is easy to learn and use.
Utilize Process Metrics:
Process metrics enable comparison of activity to previous periods, as well as set a benchmark for the team to work towards. Metrics should be easy to comprehend and access. Some metrics that can be used are accounting ratios, cycle time, number of documents in process and so on.
Streamline Preparation of Financial Statements:
In an age of real-time reporting, timely preparation of financial statements enables the pinpointing of areas of concern before they escalate, and capitalizing on opportunities. With accurate financial reports available on a periodic basis, and not just at the end of the financial year, educated decision-making and improved compliance are assured benefits. Planning the preparation of financial statements, allocating work between the team, and setting up a culture of collaboration so that information is available across departments with ease thus become critical.
Reduce manual labor as much as possible and automate tasks that are suited for it. Even a simple macro in Excel can save the department thousands of hours in labor. Once again, junior level employees often have bright ideas that can save the department much time and effort and the young generation is quite tech savvy. Encourage them to develop software tools and find ways of speeding up the existing processes.
Increase collaboration with other departments
The accounts and finance department does not function in isolation and they often depend on other divisions for their data. Find ways in which the data can be submitted on time. If there is friction between various departments and the finance team, find ways to solve these issues. Let the finance manager explain concerns to the other managers and let them explain theirs. The company has to ensure that data flows smoothly between the various divisions.
As the role of the finance and accounting department transforms to one that is a think-tank that can have a strategic impact on the business, outsourcing certain non-core functions to a specialist Finance and Accounting outsourcing services provider has its benefits. It improves the productivity of the internal team, while ensuring the quality of output is high on accuracy.
The performance of the finance and accounts department has to be constantly monitored, as they have access to essential data that can turn around a business. Whenever you feel that the finance team is lagging in their performance, take action quickly and make sure that they get back on track again.

This is the season to be thankful….it is (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend afterall. But is gratitude really meant to be seasonal?
(courtesy of Mary on Flickr)
Personally, I think gratitude is in style all year round. And it's not just the right way to be in terms of good manners. It's downright good for you! Your ability for gratefulness is deeply connected to how you experience your life…your work….your personal wellbeing. Your 'mojo' – your heart and soul! The whole kaboodle. And yes, verrrrrry connected to your ability to experience a TGIM worklife:)
I am blessed. Gratitude happens to be one of my top Signature Strengths, according to Martin Seligman's assessment on the Positive Psychology website. Even before taking this assessment I always knew I had (at least) two sets of gifts: one set represents all the good stuff I have in my life (my wellbeing, family, friends, my skills/aptitudes/talents/abilities, work opportunities, etc, etc, etc…..loong list).
The second set of gifts is the ability to recognize all of this – and appreciate it all….and express thanks, internally and to others. That is indeed a gift. That is what puts the wind in my sails.
Afterall, if you can't appreciate what you have and who you are — how can you want more? How can you become more?
The Via Signature Strengths assessment says about gratitude: You are aware of the good things that happen to and you never take them for granted. Your friends and family know that you are a grateful person because you always take the time to express thanks.
The thing about gratitude is you don't have to be in 'a good place' to exercise your gratefulness. In fact, it doesn't even have anything to do with your 'luck', circumstances, wealth or any other measure of 'the good life'. Research has revealed that many people who are dirt poor are still able to be grateful…..and they are happier than many of their wealthier counterparts.
And the good news about gratitude is that even if it doesn't come naturally to you (yet) — it is an aptitude that can be developed. It is simply about creating the habit of gratitude. And I say it's a habit well worth exercising each and every day!
So how about you? What are you thankful for this season and for today? In your work life? In your personal life? About your own unique gifts, qualities and circumstances? No item is too small to mention!
Here are a few ways to exercise gratitude and develop that 'grateful habit':
Daily (or at least a few times weekly): write down or at least express in some way at least 3 things that you are grateful for….in your work-life (and personally too). Nothing is too small for this list. Nothing is too 'corny'. Acknowledge anything and everything. Don't stop at 3 items….if you like, acknowledge anything that comes to mind. And don't be shy to repeat things on your list…..it's okay to be grateful for all the things that are part of your life each and every day:)
Express your gratefulness to others: Sometimes I think "thank you" are the most under-rated words. Pay attention to how often you say thank you — or don't. Are there opportunities to express appreciation to those you work with and/for? For work well done; for one's effort and attitude; for anything…… Small opportunities and larger ones…they all count.
Notice how you feel when you do take the time to say thank you — and how you feel when receive a 'thank you' from someone else. Again, this isn't just about good manners. It's about making a difference to your own 'joie de coeur"…not sure if I spelled that right…but your own 'heart and soul' — and that of others.
Remember to acknowedge not just the good things outside of yourself…..but also your own inner being qualities. Do you have special ability to laugh and to make others laugh? That's a gift. Acknowledge it! Do you know what your talents, gifts, abilities are? Perhaps some….but I bet if you spent a bit of time reflecting you'd realize there's much more to be grateful for. We tend to get so busy we sometimes lose sight of who we are…..reconnect, remember and give thanks.
OTHER IDEAS? I'm sure you've got a bunch of other ideas….I would love to hear them and I'm sure others too. Please email and/or post a comment.
Now as I get ready for my Thanksgiving weekend, I am going to spend some time making my 'list' of gratitude. Specifically, I am going to focus on all that I am grateful for as it relates to my 'tgim worklife'. I know it's going to be a very loooooooooong list so I better get started.
Till next time – have a happy, healthy, wonderful Canadian Thanksgiving!
Yours in gratitude!

My Cure for Most Things
I was reading a blog last week and the writer asked her audience what we all do to keep the emotions healthy and strong. I started to think about this and I thought of yoga and my journal writing, but then I realized the number one thing that helps me is walking. I suffer from anxiety (cough) AT TIMES, and sometimes I am so UPTIGHT I can't settle down to do yoga or writing just isn't UNLOCKING me. It's like watching The Mummy try to do yoga or write in his journal–a lot of JERKY, UNBENDING gestures mixed with wordless GRRRRRS of frustration. If I have any moment of clarity (sometimes I do, sometimes I don't) I drop it and go for an hour or so walk. I literally feel like my brain POPS its latch by the end and there is more room to breathe and my body is way more relaxed.
I do other things to help the old brain get back on its ledge. If I was the kind of person to admit these things, and I am not saying I am, but if I was, I'd also say occasional AFFIRMATIONS help. Not that I need to know that I am safe and I can have what I want and that there is room for me in the world or anything. No, I don't need to SAY those things to myself or even WRITE them down a few times. If I did, I'd MAYBE share that, but that's ONLY if I was that kind of person who did affirmations on sometimes a DAILY BASIS, but since I'm not, I'll just say that I HEAR it works for A LOT of people and maybe even RECOMMEND IT.
But back to walking. Walking works the best.
I am lucky that I live in one of the most walkable cities in the world. Before I got pregnant (BP), I would get off at the first subway stop in Manhattan and walk the 53 blocks to my job. It takes only 15 minutes more than the subway and I felt SO GOOD both mentally and physically by the time I got there. I have missed this ritual so much in the last nearly 2 months since I have been back. It not only makes the commute better, but since my anxiety level has been so high it would have CHILLED ME OUT.
My energy is slowly slowly coming back and as a result I've been able to return to some of my weekly walking that I enjoyed before pregnancy set in and made me a NARCALEPTIC LAZY BONES. Last night I walked the 53 blocks to the subway from work. I listened to music on my ipod and felt something snap open and undo the old, ratty bandages that have kept me loping along with my arms outstretched as if to ward off something or just feel my way. I felt the old mummified parts in me loosen their grip and when no one was looking I said some affirming things to myself in my head, not to be confused with AFFIRMATIONS, and by the time I was home I felt that I was safe, that I could have what I wanted, and that yes, there is a place for me in this world.

Multi-Modal Reset Terminal Opens in Georgia's Batumi
Multi-Modal Reset Terminal Opens in Georgia's Batumi
Amulti-modal reset terminal was opened on the territory of the International Container Terminal located in Georgia's Black Sea coastal city of Batumi, Ajara region.
The Batumi International Container Terminal LLC, together with Medlog Georgia LLC, provides storage infrastructure on a 2 ha plot of land and 3000m2 modern indoor customs warehouse.
The Batumi International Container Terminal LLC is now capable of receiving FEEDERMAX type container vessels with 11m drawing capacity, which greatly increases the operational capabilities and provides competitiveness of service, leading to a positive impact not only on the container terminal but on the port itself.
Tornike Rijvadze, the Chairman of Ajara Government, together with Giorgi Kobulia, the Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, opened the multi-modal reset terminal.
The ceremony was also attended by the Director of the LEPL Maritime Transport Agency the Ministry of Economy and Sustainable Development of Georgia, Tamar Ioseliani, MSC Georgia Managing Director Alkan Alicik, Commercial Director of MEDLOG Turkey Volkan Tek, partner of MSC Georgia and MEDLOG Georgia Jemal Inaishvili, MEDLOG (Geneva) Executive Director Salvatore Prudente, Vice President of the ICTSI (Europe, Middle East and Africa) Hans Ole Madsen and the Batumi International Container Terminal LLC Acting Director, Nikoloz Gogoli.
The guests examined the new terminal, where dredging works in the equatorial and channel waters have been successfully completed.
Kobulia highlighted the importance of the project, adding it will definitely contribute to the increase of Georgia's transit potential.
The Minister further claims that the project will help exporting companies to have better access to the international markets. He added the terminal project is implemented in compliance with the highest standards by the international company ICTSI and its subsidiary.
"This will be the one of the leading projects, covering not only warehousing, but also provision of communications, railway and road access to the port as well as expansion of the port. This will enable us to increase the terminal capacity by 100% — increasing it from 100,000 to 200,000 tons. It is a very important project that will further develop not only Ajara but Georgia's whole economy," the Minister stated at the opening ceremony.
Rijvadze spoke about the importance and strategic role of Batumi Sea Port. According to him, the multi-modal terminal will help to double cargo turnover at Batumi sea port, so enabling local economy development and creating new jobs for local citizens.
"Our priority is to turn our country into a regional hub for logistics and transport. New, modernized infrastructure is important to achieve this goal," the Chairman of the Government of Ajara said.

I like to consider myself a music enthusiast(read:snob). Someone who knows a lot of music and a lot about music. I also like to think that my tastes are pretty diverse and what most would describe as "good". I put good in quotes because there isn't one artist that is universally liked or hated by everyone. Even The Beatles have their haters and bands like Creed and Train somehow sell millions of records. There are times(probably more than I'd like to admit) where I am drawn to a band that I know I probably shouldn't like but I do. Evanescence is one of these bands. I'm not saying they are my favorite band or that I even love them. They do have their moments though and when those moments arise I can't help but to really enjoy them. First off, the above music video is terrible. I am not sure if it is more weird or lame, but it has a healthy dose of both. I get the analogy it is trying to make, but it just comes off as terrible.
As weird as this video is though, I really dig this song. Under all the corporate rock and overproduction is a really catchy and pretty melody sung by a front woman with (in my opinion) one of the prettiest voices in rock music. The pre-chorus and chorus are so dark yet so pretty. I feel like if the record company/producer let them do there thing without all slick production and generic sounding guitar tones they could really be a great band. Ok, maybe not great but more than what they were.
The funny thing is that while I enjoy this song so much, as well as a few others of theirs, I feel the need to keep it under wraps. Like if someone I respected, as far as music taste goes, found out I liked I would be way embarrassed. I couldn't say how I really felt about them. I'd have to say something like, "Evanescence? Oh yeah, that band sucks. Totally." I feel like such a tool saying that, but I would feel like an even bigger tool if I admitted I liked them. Haha. And this is where I get caught up in my own snobbery. Why can't I just admit that I like what I like? Who cares what other people think? Me apparently. I think one of my biggest fears is that people will think I have crappy taste in music.
There are times where I will in fact break this rule. For some reason, even though it is probably a bigger crime against music, I feel ok telling people that I actually really do enjoy Limp Bizkit's first album. Or, yes, I am a huge Blink 182 fan. I guess admitting you like Blink 182 these days is pretty safe considering the impact they had on my generation. That was not case when I was in high school though, especially if you were in the local punk scene like I was. Blink 182 was NOT punk rock and if you liked them you were a pussy. Sorry for the language but its the truth. If I had rolled up to a Guttermouth or Ignite show in a Blink shirt, I probably would have gotten my ass kicked. Hell, I saw a kid at a Thursday/Bring Me the Horizon show a year or so ago wearing a Blink shirt and I still kind of wanted to punch him in the face. So I'm a hypocrite. I admit it! Admitting you have a problem is the first step to resolving it, right? That will have to be enough for now. We can't face all our demons in one day right?
Also, please don't go starting a rumor that I am a Limp Bizkit fan. Fred Durst sucks and so does that band. I just enjoy their first album which has an unfortunate lame name that I won't list here. Its also unfortunate and embarrassing that I like that record. I hate that I do.

LOL, you're so funny! I still like Ice Ice Baby, haha! But c'mmon, who DOESN'T like that song?! K, I really enjoyed this post. I could almost hear your voice as I was reading. Too funny, music snob!
You ARE a music snob. Just enjoy it. And I like Train. Who doesn't feel a little lighter when they hear "Soul Sister" ? Commercial? Yes. But catchy? YES. Nothing wrong with that, music snob.
Ugh, Train is awful. Im not sure if "Calling All Angels" or "Drops of Jupiter" is worse, but they both make me want to kill myself. Seriously mom, if your music tastes are being reduced to Train let me know. I will give you more music to listen to that WON'T make you want to cut your ears off.
I feel a war coming on! ;-)

Zionist Occupation Government (ZOG) Failure - Free Thinker DETECTED
I never saw this thread before.
The so called "Hyperborean Gnosis" is quite popular in South America, which is where I live.
It became popular here with the Chilean Miguel Serrano:
The Argentinean Luis Felipe Moyana (A.K.A. "Nimrod de Rosario")
And the Veganist Movement (which has nothing to do with the word "Vegan" as it is used to describe those who don't consume animal products) mainly in Argentina, Bolivia and Perú:
The theories of the Hyperborean origins of mankind (with "Mankind" meaning the "Aryans") began with Karl Penka, whose theories were followed by Guido von List (who mostly mixed them with weird ideas that Blavatsky "channeled") to create his own philosophy of an "Aryosophy", that became the main corpus of influence of the Nazi party.
These ideas were followed later by other assholes like Robert Charroux, who mostly believed that the white Aryans came from U.F.O.s and dominated the world in ancient times... these same ideas were taken later by the "Hyperborean Gnostics" to create paranoid visions of a world dominated by the evil Jews, who only existed to oppress the pure Aryans and invented the Abrahamic Religions to brainwash everyone and extablish a "Zionist Occupation Government".
Then you have some idiots like Serrano or Nimrod who travelled to the South Pole believing that Hitler went there transported by an UFO and tried to find him after WWII because they thought that he was the new Messiah. Well, they didn't find him and returned with a flu.
Some facts are pretty obvious... like this weird theory that Jesus was invented in the XI Century!!!! (LOL). It must have taken a lot of time to write all the references to Jesus in the XI Century and invent writers such as Boethius, Origen, Plotinus, the Nag-Hammadi scriptures, Valentinus, Iraneous, Eriugena, etc...
Pardon me, but racist idiocy based on paranoid bullshit is something that simply switches off my usually polite ways.

Security agencies question high-tech detection system
Officials allege the recently installed Perimeter Intrusion and Detection System failed to nab an intruder a few days ago
The case of Vinod Kumar — a 23-year-old who was nabbed by the Central Industrial Security Force's (CISF) Quick Reaction Team (ORT) while attempting to scale Mumbai airport's wall a few days ago — has security agencies raising concerns about the possibility of similar incidents taking place in the future, in spite of the recent installation of the Perimeter Intrusion and Detection System (PIDS).
Also read: Naked man attempts to scale airport wall; declared 'mentally deranged'
An official from a security agency at the airport, on condition of anonymity, explained, "The system should have detected Kumar and the Joint Co-ordination Control (JCC) should have been alerted. But Kumar was nabbed by the QRT. Had they not been there, he would have entered the airport." Kumar was later handed over to Thane Mental Hospital, where he was declared 'mentally deranged'.
High-tech security measures
Earlier this year, mid-day had reported about the city airport's one-of-a-kind, high-tech security measures, including PIDS, to ensure foolproof security and detect intruders ('Mumbai's T2 terminal will keep intruders at bay with wired fences', January 22).
The system, which runs on taut wire technology, has sensors weaved into a barbed wire fence surrounding the airport perimetre.
When breached, the fence will not only deliver a mild electric shock to the intruder but will also send an alert to the surveillance monitors at the JCC, including the location of the breach.
The state of PIDS, now
On December 21, the PIDS was installed at a stretch of 10 kilometres along the airport perimetre. The CISF personnel are being trained to man the system. According to senior officials, two CISF officers were put in charge of manning the system on Saturday. "Eighty per cent of the installation work, which covers a major area, is done. The remaining area falls under the new portion of the terminal that is still under construction. Installation for the 10 km perimetre is done and the remaining four km will be completed soon. The system will be handed over to CISF in the first week of January," explained a senior security official, on condition of anonymity. However the official spokesperson of Mumbai International Airport Pvt Ltd said, "The system is jointly monitored by MIAL and CISF. Kumar's incident of intrusion was detected by the system. This is an advanced system, which has been installed for the first time at Mumbai Airport."
