Well, last weeks plan was a flop HA! Well laid plans and all that stuff! First up, I had put sloppy joes in the crock pot on Tuesday so dinner would be ready when I got home after being gone all day. Well, it was done all right - so done it was burned. YUCK. Then, I was thinking my husband was going to practice on Wednesday but he wasn't . .I didn't plan anything. I had planned a sweet and sour chicken recipe and was reminded that he doesn't like sweet and sour stuff . . .. so we ended up having burgers :-) THEN, I was going to go scrapbooking on Friday but that was cancelled . . .I had nothing planned for Friday :-) Oh well!!
Lets try this again! My husband and I are trying to eat a little healthier . . or something. So, I'm going to work on switching the way we eat and focus more on Weight Watcher style meals 4 days a week. The other three days will be other favorite recipes that I will be working on to make lighter as much as I can. We'll see how this goes!
Monday - Baked Chicken Parmesan, Spaghetti, Salad and French Bread. Now, I have a Chicken Parmesan recipe that we really love. I'm anxious to see how this one, a WW version, compares.
Tuesday - Three Cheese Tortellini and Mushroom Soup with Homemade Bread. This is another WW recipe. I'm not really a huge fan of Mushrooms but I've been reading how they are a super food so I'm going to try and eat some :-)
Wednesday - Asian Glazed Drumsticks, Baked Brown Rice and Steamed Broccoli. I have other Chinese style recipes that we love but they are really high in sugar. Again, I'm excited to see how this compares.
Thursday - Crockpot Stuffed Peppers, Smashed Potatoes, Green Beans. This is a family favaorite recipe :-)
Friday - Beef Drip Sandwiches, Sweet Potatoes (in the crock pot) and a salad. This is a family favorite and, instead of paring this with something higher in fat like french fries or potato salad, I decided to try and keep the sides a little healthier so we can really enjoy this wonderful French Dip like sandwich.
Saturday - Brown Sugar and Balsamic Glazed Pork Loin, Mac and Cheese, a canned veggie and French Bread. Another favorite - this is SOOOO good!
Sunday - Roast, Carrots, and Beefy Noodles. For dinner tonight we'll have either Leftovers or get a pizza.
Enjoy !

In addition to preserving the natural bushland on the site, the ecological plan for the project included a 120-hectare nature reserve funded by the development and dedicated to an environmental trust.
Integral to the development was a commitment to environmental best practice. Bingara Gorge was named the HIA's first Green Smart Advanced Estate and won the UDIA's award for NSW's Best Residential Development for its overall design, housing choice, facilities and environmental sustainability.
Intensive community, local and state government consultation, combined with quality master planning led by Bradcorp, presented an inspirational and compelling vision for this idyllic site, winning support for its rezoning for residential use in 2005.
Bradcorp consequently entered into a development agreement with Delfin Lend Lease (now Lend Lease) while retaining ownership of the land. Major infrastructure works began in the second half of 2006 and the first residential lots were released in 2007. All 18 holes for the Graham Marsh-designed golf course were completed in 2019 delivering recreational opportunities once operational.

Sarah Palin wants to know who said what
Why is Sarah Palin being so selective in her threats to sue for defamation? She didn't like Joe McGinniss's book about her and said the whole book is based on malicious lies. That's a bit much, as not all the sources were anonymous.
How come she's not going after the National Enquirer as well? Or the several bloggers who have been writing about her in the past three years? Does it mean that some people can "defame" her and Joe McGinniss can't?
Sarah Palin's lawyer is using a leaked e-mail from McGinniss to Jesse Griffin as evidence that the allegations in the book are false. McGinniss discusses Shailey Tripp, for example. Her story wasn't included in the book because he wasn't satisfied with the evidence presented to him at the time. It doesn't mean Shailey Tripp's story is not true, it simply wasn't solid enough from a legal perspective, so it didn't go into the book.
The e-mail seems to prove the opposite of what Palin's lawyer is claiming. The letter looks like a fishing expedition to me.
Are they trying to smoke out McGinniss's sources so the Palins can talk to those people?

Making headway and keeping things easy
Late last week I was part of a really interesting conversation about using Headway Themes for WordPress; I was told that their IT guru said Headway makes updating websites impossible.
I haven't laughed so hard in a long time (and suspect their guru was touting for business).
In context of WordPress, a theme controls how your website looks. The font, the colours, the menus, the widgets… all of what makes your site look nice is controlled through the theme. Once a theme has been setup there shouldn't be a reason to be making changes to the theme.
Making themes is BIG business. Custom themes take a lot of patience and testing to ensure they are robust and secure. Typically every different page template will have to be individually coded (read: royal pain in the butt and huge time waster) which can cause consistency issues with the look at feel of your site.
Technically speaking a theme is designed to work with a particular version of WordPress (or whatever CMS you are working with). This is because a theme will 'talk to' parts of WordPress to automagically display parts in the right place. These right places can change from version to version which means the theme could stop working altogether, make things display strangely and what I think is actually more of a concern is creates security vulnerabilities in your site.
If a theme is custom designed it will need to be updated and sometimes completely rebuilt to ensure it will work properly and keep your website secure. They also generally require a stack of additional plug-ins to give you features like SEO, dynamic widgets and other cool stuff.
Personally I think custom themes are a hell of a lot of work, expensive to maintain and simply not worth the effort.
What has this got to do with Headway?
Headway gives you the ability to create a custom theme in a stable, secure and tested framework without the hassle of understanding the geek stuff and it costs you peanuts.
You have complete control over the look and feel of your website. The best part of all is that you don't need to a single line of CSS, HTML or PHP to create an awesome looking website because their unique drag-and-drop framework makes creating your website layout about as difficult as creating a PowerPoint presentation.
Actually the best part of it is that Headway costs $87 (then around $67 per year for all of your updates and unlimited premium support).
Back to the IT Guru's comment: "Headway makes it impossible to update your website."
Pfffffffffffffffft to that!
I gave a copy of Headway to a friend of mine who was starting her own business (I have a developers license). She has very limited HTML knowledge and knows nothing about CSS or PHP. In less than a week she had created a very sexy website from scratch (all by herself) and updates her blog every week without having to touch Headway.
So if Headway is truly that awesome why am I telling you about it? Isn't it going to put me out of business?
Simply no. Website design is such a tiny part of the development process and a tiny part of what we do at Across Communications.
Frankly I have no interest in creating dependent relationships with my clients. That's why we include Headway in our quotes so our client retains the license and ultimate control. Of course we take care of the initial Headway design for you. The point in you will have complete control of it throughout the process.
Headway means our clients and our team can work smarter by leaving the ultra geek to the code monkeys at Headway who love that stuff and we focus on things that actually make websites a powerful and effective marketing tool.
We are always happy to have a chat about the right solutions for your business. Shoot me an email or give me a call on 0403 515 665.
If you want to just check out Headway. I totally get it, it's an awesome product. Click on the banner to find out more 🙂
Oh an in case you weren't convinced that Headway is the bomb – here are some other features that I love, love, love about Headway:
- Build any layout you can think of, customise any page, add colours, fonts, and more. You are only limited by your imagination and the best part is that you don't need to know CSS, HMTL or PHP to make it work.
- Headway features a robust suite of options for improved search engine optimisation (SEO). The team at Headway are totally across Google's ever fickle nature when it comes to SEO and take it into account when they release their updates. This means you don't have to worry about a dozen different SEO plugins… for each post or page you create for your site, there are options you can set to improve that page's search rankings, such as title tags and meta descriptions. At a higher level, there are site-wide options you can set, such as SEO templates for multiple pages of your website.
- They are highly responsive to user trends and have a mobile theme inbuilt which means you don't have to create a mobile version of the site. Headway recognises when people are using a mobile or tablet to view the site and automatically renders a mobile version of the site. You can also provide your mobile users with an option to go the desktop version of your website. I think they are still the only premium theme to have this a default option.
- Their technical support, wiki and forum is the bomb. There is a massive designer, developer and user community who are highly responsive and helpful. Then there are the Headway techs that moderate the forum. It's a brilliant source for design ideas and well as troubleshooting.
I could keep going, but you'd be better off checking it out for yourself.

Do you have a hard time controlling your intake of food? Does this particularly apply to foods that are high in fat and sugar? Food addiction may be to blame for this. Scientists, psychologists and other experts have recently begun to recognize this condition in adults around the world. As with other addictions, an addiction to food implies the loss of control over the intake of food, a dependence on certain kinds of foods, and an inability to stop despite experiencing negative consequences.
The concept is new and it is still not well understood. What we do know for sure is that treating food addiction cannot be done in the same way as an addiction to drugs or alcohol; you can't tell a person to work on stopping eating or abstaining from food. Instead, treatment is complex and sometimes looks intently at the psychological reasons a person may have developed this addiction. Treating an addiction to food is very important, as overeating can lead to many health problems.
What is Food Addiction?
Obesity and other weight issues are becoming a bigger and bigger problem around the world. One factor that may play a part is food addiction which would make it extremely difficult for people to resist urges to eat foods that are not healthy. While this concept is in its nascent and developing stages, many experts are beginning to believe that it is possible to develop an addiction to food.
For something to be called an addiction it implies that the person being described as addicted has lost control over their use of something. It more quickly calls to mind drugs and alcohol, but addictions can be behavioral as well. One example of a commonly recognized behavioral addiction is an addiction to gambling. More recently food has been given attention as a potentially addictive substance, particularly very palatable, typically unhealthy, foods.
Food addiction occurs when a person compulsively overeats, cannot control their eating, and does not or cannot change their eating behavior despite experiencing negative consequences because of it. They feel cravings for food and may experience withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety, when they have not had certain foods for some time.
Am I Addicted to Food?
The concept of food addiction is still developing and an exact diagnosis of the condition is still in the works. One important component of any food addiction diagnosis, however, is the fact that food has caused distress in a person's life yet they are unable to stop eating certain foods. Foods with certain qualities are thought to be more addictive than others. According to WebMD these are highly palatable foods which are high in sugar, salt, and/or fat.
That said there has been some progress made in terms of setting up diagnostic criteria. Yale University developed a food addiction scale which is based on a questionnaire meant to aid in the understanding of a person's relationship with food. In this questionnaire, individuals are asked to rank how often they engage in certain problematic eating behaviors as well as how often food makes them feel certain ways. Some questions on this questionnaire, which gauge the symptoms of food addiction, are:
- When you eat certain foods do you end up eating much more than planned?
- Do you eat certain foods even though you are no longer hungry?
- Do you eat to the point where you feel physically ill?
- Do you often feel fatigued or sluggish because of overeating?
- When certain foods are not available do you go through great lengths to get them despite having access to other foods?
- Have you felt withdrawal symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, or other physical symptoms when you cut down on or stopped eating certain foods?
- Do you have elevated cravings for certain foods when you try to cut down on or stop eating them?
- Does your behavior with regard to food or eating cause you significant distress?
- Do you experience significant problems in your ability to function effectively because of food and eating?
- Has your eating been causing you significant problems such as depression, self-loathing, or grief?
- Has it caused or worsened physical problems?
- Do you keep consuming certain types of food despite mental or physical health problems that are caused by it?
- Do you want to or have tried to cut down on eating certain foods before?
The questionnaire is associated with a scoring technique which helps determine the severity of a person's food addiction. Essentially, the more positively you answer these questions the more likely you are to score high on the scale and be considered addicted to food.
What Causes Food Addiction?
To say there is one cause of food addiction is likely too simple. As with most addictions, a combination of genetic, environmental, biological, and other factors encourage the development of the condition. There are, however, surely interactions in the brain that can lead to an addiction to food.
According to a study found in the JAMA Psychiatry Journal, "Similar patterns of neural activation are implicated in addictive-like eating behavior and substance dependence: elevated activation in reward circuitry in response to food cues and reduced activation of inhibitory regions in response to food intake." This activation of the reward system can prevent people from adequately controlling their food intake, which is a component of food addiction and can lead to many of the other components.
The reward activation associated with food addiction, according to the American Psychology Association, is not caused by all foods. Where it may be more desirable to become dependent on or addicted to nutritious foods, this is not what happens. Instead, it's 'hyperpalatable' foods that trigger cravings and brain responses leading to addiction. These hyperpalatable foods are junk foods, the foods that are high in fat, salt, and sugar. Similarly, a study discussed in a Harvard University publication found that the glycemic load in foods is a major factor in how addictive they are.
What are the Effects of Food Addiction?
The brain patterns that cause food addiction are reinforced through overeating, and the addiction itself leads to more overeating, which has many negative health effects. According to SF Gate, some of these are:
- Weight gain
- Obesity
- Sluggishness and fatigue
- Bloating and gas
- Bone and joint pain
- Mental health challenges, issues with self esteem
- Increased risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes
- Increased risk of gallbladder disease, high cholesterol, sleep apnea and certain cancers
- Increased risk of developing high blood pressure
Weight gain is caused when a person takes in more calories than they burn. In the case of food addiction, many of the foods a person overeats are high-calorie, high-fat foods which makes the risk of weight gin very high. This leads to many of the problems described above.
What Kind of Food Addiction Treatments Exist?
The need for effective food addiction treatment is very clear. An addiction to food causes significant problems in a person's life, and can even contribute to the development of potentially fatal conditions.
Food addiction treatment is different than the treatments for most other addictions, such as those to drugs or alcohol. In these cases, abstinence is recommended. However, food is necessary to the life of every individual and abstinence from food is simply impossible. Instead, people may be helped to abstain from certain foods or encouraged to manage their eating. Psychologists, nutritionists, and doctors are usually those who would help in a case of food addiction.
Because our understanding of food addiction is still in early stages, several different methods of treatment exist. Among these are:
- "Therapeutic Fasting": According to WebMD, this method is used by clinical psychologist Douglas Lisle and his colleagues. Patients in this program go through a period of water-only fasting in an effort to 're-boot the hard drive' in their brains. Following the medically-supervised fast, these patients are helped to develop a diet that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans and seeds.
- Break from the foods that cause you problems: Taking a close look at the foods you eat – such as through a daily record – can help you identify the foods that particularly cause trouble for you. As food addiction is most associated with hyperpalatable foods, your problem foods are likely to be in this category. These foods are considered your 'triggers'. Many treatment programs advocate complete abstinence from these foods that you crave. While this will be difficult at first, after about three weeks you stop craving those foods as much.
- Improve your relationship with food/Mindful Eating: According to Jennifer Sygo, the director of nutrition at the Cleveland Clinic, through the process of developing mindfulness about eating one can potentially alter and prevent food cravings. Mindfulness is being aware of one's behaviors and habits without judging them. The practice in regards to food requires people to eat in a very deliberate and aware manner, taking the time to consider the shape, size, color and smell of the food very intently before eating it, and doing the same while eating. This can help people understand their binge eating and other addictive behaviors, and eventually overcome them.
- Support groups: Support groups such as Food Addicts Anonymous use a 12-step model of food addiction treatment and recovery. This program believes food addiction occurs at the cellular level and cannot be cured by willpower or therapy alone. They believe it can be managed by eliminating addictive foods, following a nutrition program, and following the Twelve Steps of the program. Similar programs also exist.
All in all, food addiction recovery is possible. It will require working closely with a psychologist and nutritionist, and may also require you to try several different methods. As science and psychology get closer to understanding food addiction itself treatments will likely become more standardized.

Filed under: erev rav-mixed multitude | Tags: EREV, world of "Tohu" (chaos)
The demon Lill"y is among the souls of lazy people (who wont even make a serious effort to explore spirituality) she is the mother of the "Erev Rav" (Mixed Multitude that left Egypt with the Hebrews), she contaminates like a mentruant where they sit, and they contaminate the Righteous who dwell among them.
Only six hundred thousand Israelites survived the plague of darkness and made it to stand at the sea. The six hundred thousand who made their way to the sea were 1/5th of the original population of 3 million. Rabbi Akiva explains that 4 out of 5 who left Egypt were not Jews but the Erev Rav, this amounts to 2.4 million Egyptians (EREV RAV) left with Israel. The remaining 4/5ths of the Israelites who died in the plague of darkness were "replaced" by Erev Rav ?
In the Zohar it states that in the period called "messiah's footsteps" the "Erev Rav" (The mixed multitude who left Egypt with the Hebrews) will return to be the shepherds of Israel1 The "Erev Rav" are the souls from the world of "Tohu" (chaos), They are incarnate in every generation. They they are the arrogant, bold-faced men of the generation. This is whats referred to by our sages when they say in the period of "messiah's footsteps" impudence will increase. The "Erev Rav" desire to be the spiritual authorities and great status for this they jump forward to teach.2 They jump forward to teach and to take the crown of `let us make for ourselves a name'. These are the ones who are argumentative, they destroy the world and extinguish the light of Torah, as they sabotage the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts. Of them Solomon said:
"grasp for us the foxes, little foxes that destroy the vineyards".
The "Erev Rav" is our greatest enemy, he is what separates the two Messiahs,The "Erev Rav" husk operates only by deceit and indirectly. Therefore the war against the `erev rav is the most difficult and most bitter, and we must use all our remaining forces to win this war. Whoever is not engaged in actively fighting the "Erev Rav" becomes an automatic partner to the husk of the "Erev Rav", and whoever this may be it would be better for him had he not been born.
The "Erev Rav" instead of quarreling with the nations of the world who cause us distress, they choose to argue and quarrel with the faithful of Israel. There "Erev Rav" has a lot to occupy in so to establish and firmly root a rebellion against Torah tradition and the veneration of new theories of social engineering, morality and religion have been the engine for the unfortunate assimilation we find today. As Jews turned from being Torah Jews living a noticeably Jewish live. To Jews for Nothing, Jews for Socialism, Communism, Secularism, Nationalism, atheistic Zionism, Reform, Conservatism, Reconstructionism, Femininism and other assorted theories and movements that become trendy it is to these things that have helped to shape the secularization of much of whats left of the Jewish people
The difference between a conversation and an argument is that In a conversation, two people can have different viewpoints and still converse with each other in friendship and respect. They might disagree, but remain in a healthy and dynamic relationship. Good people, even when discussing a point, still question themselves over-and-over again, and find room to give the other person the benefit of the doubt. "Erev rav" people do not and cannot, since their self-image is built upon their being right. In Aderet Eliyah it is taught that there are 5 types of Erev Rav 1) Create strife and speak loshon Hora, 2) They chase only Physical desires, 3) Thieves who pretend to be righteous, 4) Those who pursue honor to build a name for themselves, 5) Those who chase after money and argument.
In an "Erev rav" argument, the starting point is that one is against the other. One is separate from the other. Hypothetically, in an argument it's a fight – either way, the ideas are the same. A argument not for the sake of heaven is for selfish reasons. It is not only unproductive, it is extremely self-destructive. Rashi teaches that the Bait Din (Torah court) gives capital punishment only to the perpetrators of a crime, and only if they are physically mature, and Heaven metes out capital punishment only once a person reaches the age of 20 years, but Korach's dispute resulted in the death of the perpetrators and their families, including the children.

There came a mixed multitude out of Egypt & can said to be the influence behind the making of the golden calf that delusion unto the day denoting the many alters figured within the Masonic Israeli supreme court . The mixture has been so full that physically they cannot be segregated but are spiritually separated . To this it concerns the whole of man & not just a few, this separation is the Wheat from the Chaff, lest all of man be destroyed like at the time of Noe.

Smart Decision 2012: Eric Mayer, Democrat for Missouri 3rd Congressional District
Related Story
CAMDENTON - Eric Mayer is the democratic candidate in the third congressional district race against Libertarian Steven Wilson and Republican incumbent U.S. Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer. Mayer graduated from the University of Missouri - Kansas City with a degree in business administration.
He has experience as a small businessman, operating Lake Winelectric. Mayer has also lived in Camdenton for more than 30 years and serves on community boards such as the Camdenton Chamber of Commerce.
KOMU 8 News sat down with Mayer as a part of the Smart Decision 2012 series.
What makes you the best qualified third congressional district representative?
"I believe my experiences being a small business owner for the past 30 years and managing that business and bringing it in on budget gives me an advantage over my opponent."
What impact will redistricting and Missouri's loss of a congressional district have on the state in the long run?
"Basically, the influence over either party, losing that one district will affect our ability to get what we want out of Congress in the future. So we're going to have to elect somebody that will work for the third district and Missouri."
Along those lines, what challenges could you face representing new district boundaries, and how would you meet them?
"Well, the challenges that anybody would be facing in a new district would be a mix between rural and urban, and you have to balance both of those. My opponent right now, Mr. Luetkemeyer, is not balancing that very well. He hasn't got the farm bill pushed through Congress like he should have done a long time ago."
What is the biggest problem Missouri faces going into the election?
"The biggest concern for Missouri is jobs. We need to create jobs, and I being a small business owner know how to do that. We need to reform the tax code and take that money and put it toward infrastructure and jobs like teachers and fire-workers, and that will create jobs."
How would you work with the U.S. Senate and other members of congress to solve that problem?
"Currently, the incumbent Mr. Luetkemeyer is not reaching across the aisle and working with the Senate. Again, I bring up the farm bill that the Senate has sent down to the House of Representatives, and they have not passed it for the last two times. That needs to be passed. The farmers of Missouri and in the third district need that farm bill, and I will get that farm bill passed and I will cooperate with the other side of the aisle to get the business of government done."
What should congress do about implementing the Affordable Care Act next year?
"The Affordable Care Act is a good piece of legislation. What it needs done is reform to be affordable and cost effective. That's what we need to look at is controlling the cost. Anything that was brought up, much like Medicare in the 1964 session of Congress. Many people didn't think we could afford it or wanted it, but, as you can see, Medicare has been a very good vehicle to get medical care to the elderly, and I believe that thats what needs to be done with affordable care here."
How would you bring more jobs to Missouri?
"Again, what you need to do basically is reform the tax code. I want to reform the tax code, close those loopholes and exemptions and take that money and put it toward the infrastructure in the state of Missouri and the third district. That will create a compounding effect and create more jobs for the third district"
What are Missouri's biggest budget challenges and how would you meet them?
"Missouri budget is basically the governor's and not the congressional candidate. Basically, what the congressional candidate faces is the fiscal cliff or whatever we're looking for on the federal level. On the federal level, we need to obviously control our cost and we're going to have to look at cuts. That is an important thing for everyone to consider. My opponent is looking at cutting Social Security, Medicare, making Medicare a voucher program and that's not acceptable. Were going to have to look at the federal budget and cut areas that are not essential to our country."
Can you sum up what would change once you've served a term in this office?
"What will change is, basically, I will compromise with the other side. I will get the work of government done. Things like the farm bill will be passed. Tax reform will go through and will be a fair tax reform."
Is there anything else you want to add?
"Again, what we're looking for, what we're running on, is number one: job creation... number two: reforming tax and tax exemptions and codes... and number three is stabilizing Social Security and Medicare. It is vitally important. I believe that I can do that for the third district in Missouri. I appreciate your support and I ask for your vote."

Day Hundred Sixteen – SBMBW May 29, 2010Posted by simarprit in : SBMBW, Some Battles Must Be Won , trackback
Keep lies away. Small, medium, big and all other sizes between them, hold on, even before and beyond them, just keep them away. Lies amongst the core which understands and believes in the battle is a big no, a zero tolerance area and an absolutely sudden death potentiality. Lies bring in doubt and a big measure of uncertainty, leading to confidence erosion at your end and window for excessive manipulation at your opponents end. Past hundred and fifteen days have witnessed few lies, almost all were ignored and their impact discounted. The bigger issue is that a section of my mind now automatically places a filter when any of those tagged with lies speak, their credibility is in question and reliance on their presence significantly less.
It is acceptable in normal day-to-day life, in battles which must be won, this can be bad, very bad. Transparency and absolute honesty must prevail, because Some Battles Must Be Won.

Porsche in ALMS: One last look before the new era begins - video
Championships, Big Wins, Racing Records and Excitement Populated Porsche's 15 years in the American Le Mans Series.
Atlanta. Official testing for the new TUDOR United SportsCar Championship (TUSCC) series has already begun, and sports car fans everywhere are discussing the new classes, the new rules, the new cars, the new venues and how it will all come together on the track.
However, let's take one last look in the rear view mirror at the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), which started in March, 1999 at Sebring, and ended just weeks ago at Road Atlanta. The retrospective provides a basis for what Porsche, with its 12 ALMS Manufacturer and 14 Driver Championships, thanks to its independent Porsche customer teams, hopes to accomplish going forward.
Owen Hayes, Porsche Motorsport North America's director of racing operations, pointed out that everyone grew during those 15 years of the ALMS.
"We have certainly ramped up our operation both at the shop and at the track in the last decade and a half, to meet the growing needs of our successful customer teams. The fierce competition in the ALMS forced us all to get better," said Hayes. "Personally, the RS Spyders were near and dear to my heart, but we are looking forward to our factory effort behind the two new 911 RSRs in the United SportsCar Championship."
Through the magic of ALMS Productions video and TangentVector editing, Porsche Cars North America celebrates 15 years of American Le Mans Series success in the one minute, 15-second video:
Sports car racing fans can relive glimpses of Porsche's ALMS 116 class wins – by far the most by a manufacturer in series history, including the iconic Porsche RS Spyder prototypes and the Porsche 911 GT3 R/RS/RSR championships.
When Dr. Don Panoz decided that the American sports car fan wanted to see real Le Mans sports car racing in North America, he put up his own money to bring a one-off event to Road Atlanta in 1998. He then worked with the ACO – organizers of the 24 Hours of Le Mans – to call the event "Petit Le Mans".
No one knew how it would turn out, but Porsche brought its Le Mans-winning 911 GT1 factory racecars, and other manufacturers followed suit. After the success of that event, Panoz, again with Porsche leading the way, announced that he would start a series in North America in 1999 called the American Le Mans Series. In cooperation with the ACO, it would bring Le Mans-rules racing to the U.S. – important to Porsche, as America was, and is, the company's largest consumer market.
Again, no one really knew who would show up for that first ALMS race at Sebring in March 1999, but once Porsche announced its support, BMW, Corvette, Audi and others followed and the ALMS was born.

When Porsche teamed up with Penske Racing to initiate a factory LMP2 effort in the 2005, the company developed a clean-sheet-of-paper 3.4-liter V8 engine and matching Porsche-designed chassis and transmission that was an instant success in the series. After winning its class at the car's debut at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca (Sascha Maassen and Lucas Luhr), the Porsche RS Spyder went on to three consecutive LMP2 class championships.
Hitting above its weight in 2007, Porsche beat the LMP1 Audi seven races in a row to win overall. Winning RS Spyder drivers included Sascha Maassen, Lucas Luhr, Romain Dumas, Timo Bernhard, Emmanuel Collard, Helio Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe for Penske Racing, while, in a former Dyson Racing RS Spyder, Klaus Graf and Greg Pickett, along with Luhr and Maassen, also scored ALMS wins for Pickett's Muscle Milk Racing.
In the final season of ALMS competition, Porsche customer teams CORE autosport, Team Falken Tire and Paul Miller Racing have campaigned Porsche 911 GT3 RSRs in the GT class while multiple teams, including Alex Job, TRG, Flying Lizard, JDX Racing, NGT Motorsports and Dempsey Racing have raced in the one-make GTC class. Perhaps the most fitting end to the relationship between the ALMS and Porsche was the improbable Team Falken Tire Porsche GT win (Wolf Henzler/Bryan Sellers/Nick Tandy) in the series' finale at Road Atlanta on October 19.
Porsche American Le Mans Series Final Statistics
In 148 Races between 1999 – 2013:

During the 1992 Presidential election, political analyst James Carville kept reminding campaign workers of the issues they needed to focus on. The first was "the Economy", and Carville's oft-repeated mantra became "It's the Economy, stupid!"
For brand stakeholders, the focus in 2016 is on "the community". As Branding as a practice has evolved, so has our understanding of what it means to be a Brand.
The idea of brand has flipped from a product or service supported by a corporate power to (here comes the flip) a quality of belief and meaning that attracts individuals who share those same values and ideals.
They can become so passionate about the brand's values they feel obligated and willing to help create that success themselves.
Nearly two decades into the millennium, it is now essential for anyone trying for mass appeal to move their enterprise from being meaningless technology to becoming an essential, relevant and meaningful part of our world. Many unicorns have died to make that statement true.
Quality and quantity have been flattened through the magic of global logistics. Mass differentiators during "The Madmen" era, today they have become price of admission. So much so, that today people are thinking global and producing local. (For those who know history, this is an 1820s New England Industrial Era construct.)
As many already know, Communities organize themselves around a belief system. A belief that humankind is created equally. A belief in life after death. A belief in good schools. A belief in aspirations. Think different. Just do it. Imagine.
These are the ideals, values and emotional touchpoints that resonate, attract and connect people together. They are a web of connecting points that attach themselves at the deepest levels of human behavior. A few years ago, we called this "primal code". Today, acknowledging the rise of social community, these same elements have evolved to become the
"social code".
A collection of seven data points (creation story, creed, icons, rituals, lexicon, nonbelievers, leader), the pieces of social code design and attract social community. They can be identified, put within context, analyzed, promoted, and create a systematic, strategic affinity engine. Designed with an overlay of individual behaviors they can increase advocacy and behaviors.
Strung together in a strategic brand narrative, they create meaningful interactions that become the magnetic core that attracts others to your beliefs—whether it's two brothers building a bomb in a Boston basement, or 2 billion people calling themselves a nation.
Using this methodology, you can deconstruct brands for competitive advantage, design counter-narratives and distribute digital, social and traditional media in a holistic manner that creates one-to-one conversations, disrupts apathy and moves people from "Nobody cares" to "Everybody cares!"
This is the core of fandom and advocacy: The community of fans, advocates, zealots, and public who believe in and belong to your cult of passionistas. In fact, they may become so passionate about your success, they are willing to create it themselves.
Hashtags, Pins, likes and attendance are the rites of belonging. When those rites are embedded with more and other pieces of code, your fans become more connected to your strategic narrative—all of which makes your community more relevant, resonant, noteworthy and powerful.
The role of "brand management" is not to belabor your innovation and design thinking, but discover how to become more adept at delighting your brand community in every way possible. Sure, sometimes it might be an innovative new product, but more often it will be just figuring out how you best can welcome them into your brand community. Reminding them how important they are to you. And how you can keep them happy, happier, happiest.
They believe in you and they want you to believe in them.
Too many companies make the mistake of turning their consuming public into aggregate data points indicating growth, share, and margins gained when, in fact, every single sale is precious. Each ring of the cash register is a signal of belonging to your community.
If sales are down, it's a sign that people don't feel they belong in your community any more. They don't identify with you. People might be confused about who you are, or you simply might be meaningless to them. Find out.
Identify what's sticky about your brand community—what makes them stay? You may not want to mess with that. (When he became ceo of JCP, one of Ron Johnson's first announcements was that he was abolishing the Thursday sales. Sale shoppers were cast out. Unfortunately, Thursdays were the biggest shopping days and one of the strongest reasons why people were shopping at J.C. Penney. There was no "brand" literally or figuratively, without those sales.)
Next, figure out what's keeping people away. In classic marketing terms, what are the barriers to entry? If you can figure out how to remove those barriers, (for example, no one's writing any reviews) you'll be much better off.
The role of "brand management" today is to offer information, experiences, and interactions.
But it's all really about the people. Whether it's 200 people or 200 million, they are your brand community. Stay tuned in.
Can't wait to see what happens next.

How much does it cost? Pithay Studios has its own co-working space where you can rent your own desk for just £99 a month. This is an all-inclusive price, there are no service charges, bills or business rates.
How long is the contract? We operate a monthly rolling licence, when you want to leave you need to give us a calendar months notice. Currently we are not offering daily or hourly rates.
Is internet provided? At Pithay Studios each group of two-four desks has its own router offering GPON fibre internet, this is included in your monthly fee.
What are the up-front costs of taking a desk? We take a deposit of £99 plus a pro-rata rent payment for the remaining days of the month. There is an additional refundable deposit of £20 for an access card.
Where are desks available? At the moment we are only offering desks at Pithay Studios, our project in Bristol city-centre. Most of our studios and offices are private, though do offer a handful of shared studio options at Deben House and Freestone Studios.
Can two people share a desk? The rule of thumb is one person per desk at any one time. Two people can share a desk but not regularly use it at the same time.
Are there meeting facilities? We provide a basic meeting room absolutely free of charge. It's not got bells or whistles but it's a nice bonus for desk space users. There's a simple sign-up form on the door.
Do you provide telecoms? We don't provide phones or phone lines. We suggest using IP phones which can be plugged straight into the routers at each desk. This can cost as little as a tenner a month, we use Virtually There.
Can I make phone calls in the Desk Space? Phone calls are absolutely fine but we suggest that anyone looking to make high volumes of sales calls would be better looking elsewhere as it is a quiet environment.
What kind of people work in the space? It's a real mix and we don't actively screen people based on the industry in which they work. That said, the space has naturally attracted a lot of people working in the creative and tech sectors. Designers and developers will find themselves in good company! Check out the range of businesses in the Meanwhile Creative network in our directory.
Is there a kitchen and somewhere to sit away from the desk? Pithay Studios offers a kitchen with a fridge, kettle and microwave. There is a comfy seating area within the Desk Space as well as a cafe on the ground floor.
Can I leave my stuff at my desk when I'm not there? You are most welcome to but it is always at your own risk. Leaving expensive equipment on display is not advised.
Can I bring my own desk in? Typically the answer is no unless there are special circumstances. You are welcome to provide your own chair.
Do you stay on the same desk? Yes, we operate a fixed desk policy, though you can change which desk you use when another one becomes available. We don't offer hot desks.
Is there secure bike storage? Yes! We offer secure off-road bike storage for all Pithay tenants. There is no on-going fee for this, just a £20 deposit for the access card.

Patricia Richardson
Patricia Richardson (Paddy) of Paddy Kellher Designs is a Canadian textile artist, born in the Niagara Peninsula. Interspersed between her studies in fashion design, fabric design, embroidery and arts education at various institutions such as The Academy, the Royal Conservatory of Music, Sheridan and Fanshawe Colleges, and Western University, she pursued a career as a costume designer and maker. In this field she practised and developed a wide variety of artistic textile techniques. After many years in this area, Patricia sustained a spinal injury and was told by her Doctor to stop practising the heavy costume work she had been doing daily and to "...work on nothing heavier than a hat". Taking him literally, she undertook the Millinery Certificate programme at George Brown College. Patricia now produces fashion and home accessories. Using her own patterns and designs, she dyes and paints the fabrics, cuts and manipulates them into shape and combines them with techniques such as embroidery and beading into unique art pieces.
Patricia holds a BA, and is a Certified Artist/Educator as well as a Certified Milliner. She teaches and has published articles on embellishment and design.

At a recent conference, the Alphabet executive chairman was totally stumped by one of his company's now-banned brain teaser interview questions.
The ultimate trick questions
The question Schmidt was asked was what a pirate captain should do with his treasure if over half of his crew being unhappy with his decision meant facing certain death. There is no clear-cut, right or wrong answer to this, of course. Like all trick questions, the point is to watch the demeanour of the interviewee as they grapple with the answer.
Humour and humility go a long way in these situations, and to graciously admit defeat and offer your imperfect suggestion is probably the best tack to take. Schmidt did just this, offering 51% of his crew the booty and the other 49% shares in internet companies!
The questions that got banned
Google recruiters are no longer allowed to ask brain teasers; however, out of interest, it is worth looking at some of these nightmare interview questions to decode the intent behind them – and to be grateful that none of us will have to face them!
How much should you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle? This is the perfect specimen of the trick question that is designed to throw you off course and slip into overthinking the answer.
Most people instantly start calculating, but the answer is obvious when revealed: ten dollars a window. Or seven or five dollars; the amount is not relevant. The question is pitched in this way to see whether you can think laterally and see the wood for the trees.
Another example is 'In a country where people only want boys, people who have boys have no more babies. People who have girls continue until they have a boy. What is the proportion of boys to girls in the country?' The answer, of course, is that the male to female ratio will always be around 50:50, but the temptation is to get sucked into crazy calculations!
It could be you!
Although such questions are now banned, it is always worth bearing in mind that an interviewer can throw a tricky question at you at any moment. The point is not to be able to answer everything perfectly but to approach the whole interview with flexibility, awareness and humour. If you stay relaxed, open and attentive in the face of difficult questions, you will shine.
Like Schmidt, you can ask for clarification, you can stumble, or you can ask for the question to be repeated. You can even ask for more time or to return to the issue later. As long as you tackle the question with the right approach, there will be no right or wrong answer.

Chairman Maf – "The Sea" (@ChairmanMaf / 2016)
Dreamy aquatic flavour from the Village Live re-release of talented UK producer Maf's "1976" album.
Chairman Maf – "The Sea" (@ChairmanMaf / 2016)
Dreamy aquatic flavour from the Village Live re-release of talented UK producer Maf's "1976" album.
Ill Bill – "The Grimy Awards" (Uncle Howie) – The Brooklyn emcee kept one foot in the gritty past of NYC and the other striding towards an apocalyptic future as he shed light on both his influences and pivotal life moments throughout this extremely personal project. With production from the likes of Large Professor, DJ Muggs and DJ Premier, Bill dropped arguably his most impressive work to date (and an honorable mention has to go to Q-Unique for one of the year's best verses on "L'Amour East").
Omniscence – "Sharp Objects EP" (Omniscence.BandCamp.Com) – Having made his name in the 90s with underground classics such as "Amazin'" and "Touch Y'all", the North Carolina punchline king returned like he hadn't missed a beat, displaying his agile lyricism on this EP built on the strong, jazzy head-nodding sonics of Australian producer Debonair P.
Dam-Funk & Snoop Dogg – "7 Days Of Funk" (Stones Throw) – Getting back to his G-Funk roots, Snoopzilla got in touch with his inner Bootsy Collins by uniting with talented producer Dam-Funk for this synth-heavy blast of retro goodness that sounded like Tha Dogg Pound had gatecrashed a 1983 Bar-Kays jam session. Ooooweeee!!!
J-Zone – "Peter Pan Syndrome" (Old Maid Entertainment) – Providing theme music for thirty-something Hip-Hop heads everywhere faced with the cold realities of growing-up, Zone Loc's latest opus found the Queens, NY producer-on-the-mic navigating the pressures of full-time employment, property ownership and relationships with his usual blend of sarcastic humour and musical inventiveness.
DJ Skizz – "B.Q.E. (The Brooklyn-Queens Experience)" (Gawd Of Math Music) – Amidst ongoing debates around the topic of New York rap losing its identity, producer DJ Skizz enlisted the likes of Masta Ace, Al' Tariq and Rasheed Chappell for a hardcore shot to the dome that needed to be listened to whilst wearing a hoodie and Timberlands to be fully appreciated.
Strange Neighbour – "The Heisenberg EP" (Revorg Records) – Taking his inspiration from the anti-hero of cult TV show "Breaking Bad", UK producer Strange Neighbour got busy in the lab and cooked-up this drum-heavy batch of bangers featuring the varied lyrical styles of Phoenix Da Icefire, Oliver Sudden, Big Toast and more.
Durag Dynasty – "360 Waves" (Nature Sounds) – The Alchemist continued to spend the year churning out ridiculously dope beats with this full-length crew effort from Planet Asia, Tristate and Killer Ben. With the West Coast trio each spitting sharp lyrical darts, Alchemist's stripped-down beats provided the right amount of thump to ensure said darts exploded on impact as intended.
Chairman Maf – "1976" (ChairmanMaf.BandCamp.Com) – UK producer Maf's debut full-length instrumental project was a masterclass in creating mood music. Ranging from ethereal boom-bap to intergalactic soul, "1976" took the listener on an unpredictable sonic journey which had a worthwhile destination around every corner.
Skyzoo & Antman Wonder – "An Ode To Reasonable Doubt" (Loyalty Digital Corp) – The Brooklyn lyricist paid homage to Jigga's classic debut respectfully and creatively on this Antman Wonder-produced EP. Retreading the musical steps of golden-era Hov definitely meant attempting to fill some big shoes, but this brilliant eight-track release found Skyzoo adding just as much to "Reasonable Doubt" as he was taking. No regrets here.
Dirt Platoon – "War Face" (Shinigamie Records) – Straight off the streets of Baltimore, duo Raf Almighty and Snook Da Crook cracked the concrete beats provided here by French producer Kyo Itachi like a pair of lyrical jackhammers. Rough, rugged and raw, "War Face" left your eardrums feeling like they'd just been pummelled by the neighbourhood bully.
Tommy Tyler – "The Golden Section" (SonsPhonetic.BandCamp.Com) – The Irish emcee delivered a moody, hypnotic five-track EP that drew the listener into a sombre world further enhanced by the bass-heavy production of Mook. Music to listen to with the lights off.

I cringe—CRINGE!—at the thought of something that I used to do.
It's something that you may have done at some point, too.
When you first start working as a freelance copy editor, you want to make it known whenever possible that you excel at spotting writing mistakes.
On a very basic level, the ability to find and correct errors is the skill set that you need to monetize; you have to show others that you have the eagle eye that they need to fix their copy.
The Internet fuels your next destructive step.
You go hunting for mistakes.
On your favorite blogs. On your favorite websites. Twitter.
You comment. You email. You @-reply.
You smile to yourself, thinking how clever you are for initiating contact with someone you'd like to work with by "doing work for free"—proving what a great freelance copy editor you are.
I never got any work this way.
Hell, I barely got responses. If I did, I'm sure it took a load of patience not to tell me off.
When you point out a stranger's error, he doesn't think, "Wow! This woman is really good. I need a copy editor, and I'm going to hire her!"
In fact, if Your Target does ever need a copy editor, he's not going to hire a random know-it-all (because that's what you look like—whether you are or not).
If a writer doesn't realize on his own that he needs someone else to edit or proofread his text, your unsolicited alert—that not so subtly demonstrates your Skillz—will not persuade him.
The realization that you need a copy editor to review your writing reveals a basic
problem-solving lesson: the first step is acknowledging the problem. And that has to come from within.

The Cubs removed reliever Manny Corpas, who is still recovering from elbow surgery, from the 40-man roster but will still invite him to spring training with a chance to make the team.
Corpas was signed this offseason as a free agent from Colorado, where he helped the Rockies make the World Series in 2007 as the bullpen closer. He underwent Tommy John surgery in September 2010 and missed all of last season.
The move is basically procedural, although it could also make room on the roster in case the Cubs add players by trade.

We present the first technique for directly measuring (without assumptions) the spatio-temporal intensity and phase of a train of ultrashort pulses at and near a focus. Our method uses an experimentally simple and high-spectral resolution variant of spectral interferometry (SEA TADPOLE). To illustrate our technique, we measured the spatio-temporal electric field in and around the foci of several different types of lenses. To confirm our results, we also simulated these measurements by numerically propagating a pulse through each of the lenses used. From one set of measurements, we made a movie showing a focusing pulse with severe chromatic aberration.

Funky techno against G8
The protests against the G8 summit won't be boring. The whole thing will - hopefully - be a big party. As an example working in this direction I found the "Hedonist International"...
Spontaneous rave party in front of the Reichstag
Last sunday, 100 people suddenly started dancing in front of the Reichstag, the German parliament, in Berlin. The action was directed against the G8 summit and the political repressions during the last weeks.The sentence on the bellies says: "Strip G8 naked"
You see: the party has already started - Join the protest !

The Transportation Management Center (TMC), located in Atlanta, Georgia, is the headquarters and information clearinghouse for NaviGAtor. Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,
the TMC is committed to enhancing travel safety and transportation efficiency by managing incidents, controlling traffic, and providing accurate information to the traveling public.
TMC employees work behind the scenes to provide statewide incident management through a three phase process.
The TMC monitors the roadways and collects real-time information from Video Detection System (VDS) cameras along the interstates. Operators also gather information
taking 511 calls from travelers regarding traffic congestion and roadway incidents.
TMC employees must then confirm each incident by identifying the problem, the cause and the effect it will have on the roadway. The proper authorities, such as police, fire
or HERO, are notified so they can respond to the incident.
The third step is communicating this information to travelers, allowing them to make informed travel decisions, through changeable message signs (CMS) on the roadways,
the NaviGAtor website, media relations, audio messages from 511 calls and the new 511 Georgia smart-phone app.
Groups and individuals are invited to tour the TMC. To set up a time, please contact us.

UK Juicers Says
Power, durability, ease of use and long-term value mean that the Champion is appropriately named. It is a true workhorse that will deliver many years of faithful service to the juicing enthusiast. A heavy-duty 1/3 hp motor drives the juicer's single 'floating' cutter, which ejects pulp through a separate outlet, which means you can make a large batch of juice without stopping to clean up. It's a Masticating Juicer so its grinding and pressing action gives a more nutritious drink. Unlike other masticating juicers it does this without losing any of the speed and convenience associated with a centrifugal juicer, so it really does offer the best of both worlds. It's so easy to use and clean that it is arguably the most user-friendly juicer in our range.
Quickly swapping the juicing screen for the blank screen supplied adds to the Champion's versatility, allowing you to make fruit sauces, smoothies and purees, as well as nut butters. With the blank screen in place the power of the Champion also makes light work of frozen fruits to make delicious, instant sorbets and ice creams. Other masticating juicers are able to do these tasks but the Champion is by far the best because it's virtually unbreakable. The Champion is a Freak of kitchen design! An appliance that just never breaks down? If you use it properly you'll probably never need another juicer. It's tough and it's tough to beat!

Revised review
The replacement screen holder received from yourselves has addressed one of the problem areas I had with the Champion juicer in my previous review. The redesign of adding a grid to the outlet has made the unit much stronger and should now prevent the splitting of the screen holding grooves, the magnet now held with metal rivets and a more stain resistant and better quality plastic.
Just need a longer lasting sharp cutter to make 5 stars

Juicer let down by poor ancillary parts
Very powerful juicer but let down by feed effort. blunt cutter and poor body ancillary parts.
Our 10 year old m/c has had 3 screen holders due to splitting and/or the magnet holder falling off.
The cutter blunts very quickly. We have had the same input material over the period being: carrots, beetroot,apple, ginger and occasionally mint leaves. Effort to feed these is too high after about 6 feeds of the above with a new cutter. Still however the best non commercial juicer you can buy.
UK Juicers says: Thank you for your review. Champion Juicer Cutters are not particularly sharp from the outset and it is very unusual for them to need replacing, even in regular use. Unfortunately sometimes people think that because the teeth do not feel sharp the cutter needs replacing. The Champion does require some force on the pusher to feed ingredients through but the powerful motor and sturdy construction means that it can withstand this force very well. It's uncommon to need to replace Champion parts so often and we are sorry you felt let down by this.

Champion is 'champion'
Several friends in the USA have this Juicer and ten years ago we followed their lead. Our experience - there is none better than this system and it has been used continually since the day we purchased it.
