Ehron VonAllen (pronounced Aaron Von Allen) is an American singer in the Pop Electronic genre, music producer, recording artist & remixer currently based in Hollywood, California. Born Aaron Christopher Allen, VonAllen began music in a small town of 4,000 in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. VonAllen's first run in with music was a concert video by Depeche Mode entitled 101. After graduating from high school, he moved to Dallas, Texas to pursue a music career instead of university or military, which were both seriously considered. While living in Texas, he played shows in the popular music district of Deep Ellum in downtown Dallas.
Ehron VonAllen is well known in the electronic/synth pop European scene and has enjoyed a career of working with some of the biggest acts of the genre as well. His music is accessible to fans of many different genres due to the fact each of his albums tends to be different from the previous ones. Most are based around a concept which dictates the style of the music, lyrics and artwork. It is widely known to his fan base that he is heavily influenced by his musical idol, Depeche Mode producer & synth player Alan Wilder currently of the project Recoil (band). In 2010, he collaborated with Wilder remixing the track "Jezebel" for Recoil released through Mute Records as a downloadable e.p. entitled "Want" in support of the Recoil tour "A Strange Hour".
He is also heavily influenced by David Bowie.
His instrument of choice is the synthesizer but his main forte' is in song writing, sound design, music production and editing. As quite an achievement for an independent, on September 11, 2013 he reached the 50,000 download mark for songs being purchased from all music sources on the internet since 2003, when the downloads began being tracked. Every format of his music including CD has been marketed by his own record label and media company Hydrology Records.
He is currently finishing his new album "I Am Electrovert" collaborating alongside producer and frontman of the multi-platinum selling band Orgy, who has production credits with Linkin Park, Korn, Crazy Town & many others.
Release history[edit]
Incarnation, album, 2004[edit]
In 2004, his career as "Ehron VonAllen" officially began when recorded his debut album, Incarnation. The producer for the album, Jamison Weddle with production credits for DMX & Neils Lofgren. During this time, VonAllen had the honor of getting a sound in the Minimoog Voyager synthesizer named after him called "Bass For E. VonAllen", thanks to the New Age recording artist and professional sound designer Zon Vern Pyles. A quote from Electronic Musician magazine concerning the sound "Of all the bass Presets, In the Pocket and Bass for E.Vonallen are my favorites; both are definite blasts from the past, and certainly the most authentic Moog basses I've ever heard (because that's exactly what they are!). After this, he had dinner with Bob Moog in Nashville, not long before he died, fulfilling a long time wish of wanting to meet him, considering Ehron's passion for synthesizers. Pop star CeCe Peniston was originally going to be the guest female vocalist but due to label conflicts, R&B vocalist Morgan Hinton appeared on the songs "Insecure Armies" and "Countless Contradictions" in her place. Released on his own label Hydrology Records, a two disc version of the album containing re-inventions of the original songs and art layout by the photographer John Hall was manufactured. The album received mostly positive reviews; most notably in the world famous Keyboard Magazine by editor and book author Mark Vail calling the album "ingeniously constructed". The double album topped the sales charts at Virgin Megastores for several straight months, even reaching #1 in its first two weeks of release beating out many major label artists including Christina Auguleira and David Bowie.
Your Only Friend, album, 2005[edit]
God's Grandchild, album, summer 2007[edit]
His third album, God's Grandchild, was set for a winter 2006 release date, but was delayed due to manufacturing conflicts. On July 7, 2007, the album was finally released. The album included two cover songs, "Prayers For Rain" by The Cure and "Sunday" by David Bowie. The album received mixed reviews due to its departure from his previous material. The original CD was discontinued in 2009 and was replaced in 2012 by a 2-disc Special Edition version with the songs being reproduced and mixed, which also included never before released songs, remixes and interviews.
The Sin of Nature, album, fall 2007[edit]
Because of God's Grandchild delayed release, his fourth album The Sin Of Nature was released almost immediately after on September 4, 2007. This album proved to be his most unusual and ambitious album yet which was said to be an album made for himself and did not consider time constraints or worrying whether or not the songs had a hook in them. The CD has extremely heavy dark and religious overtones. While the CD is filed in record stores as "New Age" or "Christian", the release was officially labeled "Electronic".
That album's single titled "Sin of Nature - (Wumpscut Version)" remixed by Rudy Ratzinger of the controversial electro band Wumpscut. An a cappella version of the title track was included on this as well.
see Controversy & Personal Life section on more pertaining to this album
The Perfect Lie, album, 2008-TBA[edit]
The Perfect Lie began production on August 6, 2008 and was rescheduled several times each year between 2009-2012. VonAllen began the production himself but six months later, Roman Marisak of the band Professional Murder Music took over as Producer. Marisak's vision for the album draws along the lines of a more numetal feel Ehron VonAllen album while still maintaining his unique pop electronic style. The production of the album moved to PMM Studios in Los Angeles in 2011. The album will have several guest vocalists including Morgan Hinton (who has worked on 2 previous albums of his) & Daniel Myer of Haujobb, Covenant and Architect fame. There will also be remixes available by Leaether Strip, Alien Skin and Incarnation's producer Jamison Weddle. Production on this album is officially on hold.
When Music Meant Something, single, 2008[edit]
A Digital Download EP called "When Music Meant Something" was released in order to cut down the length of time per release due to the delays of making The Perfect Lie. The single contained a cover of "Nothing's Impossible" by Depeche Mode, another track called "Ode To Nitzer Ebb" which contained a few small samples of their previous work and an a cappella version of the title track.
I Am Electrovert, album, 2013 - TBA[edit]
New production began for an album titled "I Am Electrovert". This album involves production by Ehron VonAllen and Producer Jay Gordon, lead singer of the Platinum selling band Orgy. The album will contain all new material including remixes by prominent electronic groups including Haujobb, Orgy & Kant Kino. VonAllen recently finished filming his the music video for the first single off the album entitled "Electrovert".

Here's a really easy recipe for a delicious pasta dish. Skip the egg and all you need are 2 pots. But why would you skip the egg? This balanced meal has carbs, dairy, protein, and vegetables.
First, wash your greens. I used mustard greens in this recipe. I like the slight bitterness to contrast the spicy and fattiness of the sausage. However, feel free to use any leafy green as you please.
I bought some spicy chicken sausage from Esposito's and was really excited. I cut them into bite sized pieces. I left the skin on so that they would hold together in the pan.
So I slowly cooked the sausages in a little olive oil until they browned nicely and the fat rendered out.
In another pot, I brought some water to a boil then salted it and added pasta. In this case I used cheese tortellini. But as always, use any pasta that you like. Even non stuffed ones works in this recipe.
Once the sausages are cooked, add the mustard greens right on top, salt, then cover. Wait about 5 minutes, and toss the greens and cook until they're wilted down like below.
Then throw in a container of tomato sauce. I like to make a large pot of marinara then freeze it in batches. This was just a container that was left on the counter overnight to defrost. You can heat it up on the stove on low if you like as well.
Toss the ingredients together and then put the cooked pasta in to cook a little further and absorb all the flavors.
This is what it looks like once everything is cooked. Wait! It's not done yet.
You know I need to fry up a couple of eggs with runny yolks.
Into a bowl, egg on top, then some grated cheese. Voila! Delicious meal had by everyone! The sausage was really great. It was spicy but not overly so. It was also really flavorful and I would definitely go back and buy some more. The eggs was slightly overcooked on the sides. You can see it near the whites. But overall, nice and runny. The cheese was creamy and pungent while the mustard greens were bitter and added a crunch to the dish. The cheese tortellini was light was absorbed the marinara well. I was very happy with this dish and would definitely make this again.

Video: The Book of Sarah
Sarah Lightman's on-going autographical project, "The Book of Sarah," started in 1995 when the artist was an undergraduate at The Slade School of Art in London. "The Book of Sarah" is a response to the Biblical silence of her namesake, the matriarch Sarah.
The project began as drawings and texts and has now developed into short animations films. Each chapter marks Lightman's own Genesis and Exodus and incorporates the artist's knowledge of Jewish texts and tradition. The pieces also explore Lightman's own conflicted life experiences, including her childhood, moving out of her home, unsuitable love affairs, the death of her Grandpa, her wedding, and now "Shanah Rishonah", her first year of marriage.
Sarah Lightman is an award-winning artist, curator and researcher who studied at The Slade School Of Art in London for her BA and MFA, where she won numerous scholarships. She has exhibited her artwork widely in the UK and abroad, and her most recent show was Publicly Private" at Oranim College in Israel.
Lightman is the co-curator of "Graphic Details: Confessional Comics by Jewish Women," a critically acclaimed show that has toured around the U.S. and is sponsored by the Forward.

After being a vegetarian on and off for years, I can comfortably say that I do enjoy to occasionally eat meat, but it is not my first choice at a restaurant nor do I think I really have the best. So, when I asked to participate in a post for Sargento's "Ultimate Cheeseburger Contest," which also included a recipe, I immediately thought of making my own vegetable burger using Sargento's Swiss Cheese singles.
Having had numerous veggie burgers in the past, I knew I wanted to create one that was veggie-based (and not using soy) where I found one on Cooking Light in their 10 Best Veggie Burger article. With over 10 recipes for inspiration, I decided to create a combination of their Homemade Quick Black Bean Burger and their Vegetable Burger using black beans, carrots, beets, peppers, onion, corn, rice, eggs and breadcrumbs to bind the ingredients.
Creating the patties was really easy (although it did involve a lot of chopping!) and in less than 10 minutes where I then added some Sargento Swiss and avocado in a pita bun. I was heaven with this burger, and really was my ultimate for an easy summer dinner. I also loved the 100 percent natural, never processed Sargento cheese that provided a rich, authentic flavor to this new burger creation.
As part of the contest, you can also enter your favorite cheeseburger recipe using Sargento Natural Sliced Cheeses on the Sargento facebook page. Simply add in your name, description of the burger and a picture and you're done! There are tons of varieties of Sargento where you can add Colby, Medium Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Colby-Jack, Jarlesburg, Pepper Jack and much more! Also, check out Sargento.com to view more savory burger recipes for your own burger creation!
To get into the spirit of this fun contest, Sargento has challenged chefs at iconic burger joints from coast to coast to create '??America'??s Ultimate Cheeseburger" to both create their own signature burger and showcase some of their local culinary flair. Our local burger haunt, 67 Burger created the Pastrami Spiced Swiss Burger for the contest, a combination of pastrami spices, Sargento cheese, sauerkraut, mustard, and pretzel bun that is the ultimate ode to New York.
Whether you like veggie burgers, turkey burgers, or traditional meat burgers, Sargento has you covered with their diverse selection of cheese products that can enhance and make your burger experience even more memorable.

| AMD's Fusion Processors Are Designed to Be as Fast as Discrete GPUs A high-ranking executive of Advanced Micro Devices said Friday that while the so-called accelerated processing units (APU), which combine x86 cores, memory controller and graphics processor on the same piece of silicon, will tangibly rise the bar for performance of built-in graphics, they will not destroy the market of discrete graphics processing units (GPUs). "AMDs APUs are designed to deliver exceptional performance and we believe this will be readily apparent when compared to integrated graphics products available from the competition. Some of our APUs, by sheer performance alone, are expected to be faster than some discrete GPUs on the market. As our GPU cores improve, you can expect our APU graphics performance to similarly improve," said Godfrey Cheng, the director of client technology unit at AMD.In the first half of next year AMD plans to launch the code-named Llano accelerating processing unit (APU) with up to four Phenom II-class x86 cores and with up to ATI Radeon HD 5000-class 480 stream processors. Potentially, Llano offers higher computing performance than code-named named Redwood chip (which has up to 400 SPs), which means that AMD will have to refresh entry-level lineup otherwise Llano will likely stop sales Cedar-based products. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/d...s_Company.html

업데이트를 하고 있는데 영어로 전체 영화를 감상하기는 어려울 것 같다.
위동영상 내용
Ferula: Bless me father for I have sinned, it's been a week since my last confession. Father, I think I've committed a terrible sin.
Priest: Of the flesh?
Ferula: My flesh is with it but not my spirit. The devil is tormenting me.
Priest: The mercy of the Lord is infinite.
Ferula: You don't know the thoughts that can run through the mind of a lonely woman, father. A virgin, who's never been with a man, not for any lack of opportunity of it but because God sent my mother a protracted illness and I had to be her nurse.
Priest: That sacrifice is recorded in Heaven, my child.
Ferula: Even if I've sinned in my thoughts, Father?
Priest: Well, it depends on your thoughts.
Ferula: Sometimes, at night, I can't sleep. I feel as if I'm choking. To calm down, I get up, walk around the house. I go to my sister-in-law's room and put my ear to her door. Sometimes I.. tiptoe in and watch her while she's sleeping. I used to think she was stupid and incompetent but now I know she's of another world. Maybe her time on Earth is just a small part of her and she might.. be closer to God than we are, father Antonio. She looks like the angel of light. I want to climb into her bed, feel the warmth of her skin, her gentle breathing.
Priest: Pray my child, prayers help.
Ferula: Wait I'm not finished. When my brother sometimes sleeps with her, it's even worse. I.. my prayers are useless. I can't sleep, I sweat, my whole bady shakes. Finally I get up and walk through the dark house and fly through the corridor very carefully so the floor won't squeak. I listen to them through their bedroom door and once I even saw them because the door had been left ajar. What I saw, I can't tell you father, it's too big a sin. It's not Clara's fault. She's as innocent as a child as my brother leads her into it. He desires much more than just her body, he wants to own the most secret thing she holds inside of her. He is eternally damned.
Priest: Only God can judge and damn, my child. But.. what were they doing? You used to be a gifted narrator.
Ferula: Well... I couldn't see very well but.. what I sensed was incredible. Deep, trembling movements, abundance of juices, words whispered in her ear, strange secret smells, a veritable miracle.
Clara: It's a little girl.. and her name will be Blanca.

Ferula: Isn't she beautiful, Esteban? Sometimes I wish mother could have seen this. She would've been proud of you Esteban. And to think, a little girl.. I can hardly think. But I don't like the way she walks around so much. The doctor distinctly told her to rest a lot. He also said she shouldn't sleep with you anymore.
Esteban: He said what?
Ferula: He said it wasn't good for Clara if you slept together, during the rest of her pregnancy.
Esteban: He didn't mention anything about that to me.
Ferula: Well I'm just telling you what he said. But I think he means.. you being too heavy on the baby, or.. Clara's frail body. Anyway I don't think it's good for Clara, with too much excitement.
Esteban: It seems to me, Ferula, that you're into fairing in matters that don't concern you.
Ferula: Good morning Clara!
Esteban: Is all this kissing really necessary?
Clara: Oh.. yes it is. Oh! Feel her kicking? I think she wants to come out and say hello to her grandparents.
Esteban: Her grandparents.
Clara: They're coming today, remember?
Ferula: Well then we must go up for your bath.
Ferula: Shhh.
Yes, yes.. push, push, come on, push, come on, push, she's coming.
Clara: WAAAAH! Welcome to the world little pudding cup.
Hold it nice and flat, Blanca.
Concentrate, Blanca.
You show them, the champion, Blanca. You hit it back to Aunt Ferula.
Oh come on Ferula! Hit it harder! Here ol' dear, you have to play in a hat. Blanca! Ferula! If you keep it on the court, keep it in here, don't hit it so far up! Come on Ferula, stop fooling around. Come on Ferula.
Alright we're supposed to be teaching Clara the game, come on! AH! Think we've won, my little one. Blanca's the champion!
Sometimes I wish mother was still alive so I could send you back to her. Clara, lets go and have a cool drink, just the two of us.
Aunt Ferula, would you come and play with me? Aunt Ferula, please could you play? Here you are my dear.

Brewers' Tyler Thornburg adjusts to relief duty
Philadelphia — When the Brewers were making their final decision on their pitching staff at the end of spring training, this is the question they pondered:
Would it be better to send promising right-hander Tyler Thornburg to Class AAA Nashville to stay ready as a starting pitcher should they need help or keep him as a relief pitcher and see how he fits in?
The Brewers opted for the latter, which is looking like a pretty smart decision at this early stage of the season. With two shutout innings Wednesday night and yet another Thursday evening, Thornburg lowered his earned run average to 1.29 in five outings.
In seven innings, Thornburg has allowed four hits and one run with no walks and nine strikeouts.
"(General manager) Doug (Melvin) thought, and myself too, the year he had for us last year, he kind of deserved to start with us," said manager Ron Roenicke. "He threw really well in spring training. His last few outings weren't quite as good, but he really threw well. But we thought that we needed him on this team and we needed him in the bullpen."
The original plan was for Thornburg to pitch in middle relief or at the end of games if they went into extra innings because he was stretched out as a starter in spring training. But Roenicke has been using him with games on the line, a sign of confidence.
"The way he's pitched; he's pitching so good where I feel good any time I bring him in a game," said Roenicke.
"His off-speed stuff is so good. He was painting some fastballs and I look up and see they're 94-95 mph. Then with a plus curveball and plus changeup, it doesn't matter if the hitter is right-handed or left-handed. He's got real good stuff."
Thornburg wouldn't complain if he were in the starting rotation, but the next-best thing is pitching in relief with games on the line. And pitching multiple innings is no big deal at all.
"I think it's big for us because we've been using Will (Smith) and 'Kintz' (Brandon Kintzler) so much," said Thornburg. "Anytime you can cover the seventh and eighth inning and give those guys the night off, we're going to need them over the entire season.
"It's just a matter of getting used to it. Obviously, I haven't been relieving consistently for an extended period of time. Once I get used to doing it, hopefully I'll bounce back quicker and feel even better."
Roenicke said he's not sure yet how often in a week he can use Thornburg, particularly if he goes more than three outs.
"That's something we have to find out," said Roenicke. "He hasn't really been in this role before so I (had) to ask him how he feels today.
"It's new with him and it's also new with Will Smith. I don't know how many days he can go back-to-back. You've got to cover these innings. If the starter goes six innings, every night you need three people.
"You can't continue to do that if you're winning a lot of games. You can't always use your top guys."
Gomez is golden: Fans who attend the Brewers' game against Pittsburgh on Saturday will get to witness a rare sight: a Brewer receiving a Gold Glove Award.
Carlos Gomez, the 2013 winner for the NL in center field, will be presented his Rawlings Gold Glove Award in a pregame ceremony at 6 p.m. Gomez was the first Brewer to win a Gold Glove since shortstop Robin Yount in 1982, the longest drought among major-league clubs.
Gomez actually was presented with the trophy in New York in November and posed for a photo with Willie Mays that appears in the Brewers' media guide. The award then was shipped by Rawlings to the team so Gomez could receive it at Miller Park.
"It makes sense, they give it to you in front of your own fans," said Gomez. "I'm trying to continue the good job to get more. I don't think one is enough. To be one of the best, you have to be consistent about it."
Appealing to MLB: The Brewers plan to send video to MLB offices of the play in which Logan Schafer drove in the go-ahead run in the eighth inning Wednesday night with a bouncer down the first-base line that Philadelphia's Ryan Howard couldn't get to. Howard was charged with an error and the Brewers thought Schafer should have been given an RBI double.

Awhile back I was piqued by a discussion on BioStar about "Where would you host your open source code repository today?", which got me thinking about the relative merits of the different sites for hosting bioinformatics software. I am not an evangelist for any particular version control system or hosting site, and I leave it to readers to have a look into these systems themselves or at the BioStar thread for more on the relative merits of major hosting services, such as Sourceforge, Google Code, github and bitbucket. My aim here is not to advocate any particular system (although as a lab head I have certain predilections*), but to answer the straightforward empirical question: where do bioinformaticians host their code?
To do this, I've queried PubMed for keywords in the URLs of the four major hosting services listed above to get estimates of their uptake in biomedical publications. This simple analysis clearly has some caveats, including the fact that many publications link to hosting services in sections of the paper outside the abstract, and that many bioinformaticians (frustratingly) release code via insitutional or personal webpages. Furthermore, the various hosting services arose at different times in history, so it is also important to interpret these data in a temporal context. These (and other caveats) aside, the following provides an overview of how the bioinformatics community votes with their feet in terms of hosting their code on the major repository systems…
First of all, the bad news: of the many thousands of articles published in the field of bioinformatics, as of July Dec 31 2012 just under 700 papers (n=676) have easily discoverable code linked to a major repository in their abstract. The totals for each repository system are: 446 Sourceforge, 152 on Google Code, 78 on github and only 5 on bitbucket. So, by far, the majority of authors have chosen not to host their code on a major repository. But for the minority of authors who have chosen to release their code via a stable repository system, most use Sourceforge (which was is the oldest and most established source code repository) and effectively nobody is using bitbucket.
The first paper to link published code to a major repository system was only a decade ago in 2002, and a breakdown of the growth in code hosting since then looks like this:
Year | Sourceforge | github | |
2002 | 4 | 0 | 0 |
2003 | 3 | 0 | 0 |
2004 | 10 | 0 | 0 |
2005 | 21 | 1 | 0 |
2006 | 24 | 0 | 0 |
2007 | 30 | 1 | 0 |
2008 | 30 | 10 | 0 |
2009 | 48 | 10 | 0 |
2010 | 69 | 21 | 8 |
2011 | 94 | 46 | 18 |
2012 | 113 | 63 | 52 |
Total | 446 | 152 | 78 |
A few things are clear from these results: 1) there is an upward trend in biomedical researchers hosting their code on major repository sites (the apparent downturn in 2012 is because data for this year is incomplete), 2) Sourceforge has clearly been the dominant players in the biomedical code repository game to date, but 3) the current growth rate of github appears to be outstripping both Sourceforge and Google Code. Furthermore, it appears that github is not experiencing any lag in uptake, as was observed in the 2002-2004 period for Sourceforge and 2006-2009 period for Google Code. It is good to see that new players in the hosting market are being accepted at a quicker rate than they were a decade ago.
Hopefully the upward trend for bioinformaticians to release their code via a major code hosting service will continue (keep up the good work, brothers and sisters!), and this will ultimately create a snowball effect such that it is no longer acceptable to publish bioinformatics software without releasing it openly into the wild.
- As a lab manager I prefer to use Sourceforge in our published work, since Sourceforge has a very draconian policy when it come to deleting projects, which prevents accidental or willful deletion of a repository. In my opinion, Google Code and (especially) github are too permissive in terms of allowing projects to be deleted. As a lab head, I see it is my duty to ensure the long-term preservation of published code above all other considerations. I am aware that there are mechanisms to protect against deletion of repositories on github and Google Code, but I would suspect that most lab heads do not utilize them and that a substantial fraction of published academic code is one click away from deletion.

I had a great time speaking with the large communities of SQL Server users as I traveled about Europe last week and much of this week. I'm always impressed by the skill, intelligence, and creativity of these professionals.
And sometimes they raise questions that I think are worth sharing with everyone because they too might've heard the question before or asked it themselves. Here are a few examples. What are your thoughts on these questions?
1. To what extent does compatibility mode effect the behavior of SQL Server? For example, direct catalog updates aren't supported in SQL Server 2005. If we're running in SQL Server 2000 compatibility-mode, can we still access the SYS schema?
2. There are strong architectural reasons why SQL Server doesn't support multiple log readers, right? Let's discuss. (I have my own ideas about why you wouldn't want to enable it.) However, the potential for improving the performance of replication by the use of multiple Log Reader agents is very strong because you could have more data flowing from one server to another. Imagine for example, if you could have one log reader pumping data for the "customer" table and another pumping data for the "orders" table. How can we build a solution that offers us those benefits?
3. Error messages? Yes, error messages. Is there any way we can find out what error messages are most commonly encountered across the SQL Server universe? Maybe someone on the PSS team can help us out here?
4. How do I give a good presentation? Well, there's a hilarious YouTube video that covers all the bases - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagxPlVqrtM&feature=related. But if you're looking for some real resources, here are some others that are useful:

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan expects to name Roberto Martinez as the club's new manager on Wednesday.
Martinez, 35, is poised to leave Swansea and succeed Steve Bruce, who has moved to Sunderland.
"Everything is almost agreed, the only reason it has not been signed up is because I'm in Majorca," Whelan told the Evening Post.
"I'm due back on Wednesday, the deal will be completed then, and we'll have a press conference on Thursday. I hope that Roberto stays with us for quite a long time.
"I was really sad to lose Steve Bruce, who was a great manager for Wigan but Roberto is a wonderful man who knows football inside out."
Martinez guided Swansea to the Coca-Cola League One title last year and then finished within two places of the Championship play-offs last season.
He met Wigan chief executive Brenda Spencer last week to begin negotiations after she was given permission to speak to him once a compensation deal was agreed.
Should the move go through as anticipated - Spencer confirmed they had held "positive talks" - it will complete a remarkable journey for the Spaniard.
He joined the club 1995 and stayed six years, plying his trade in England's lower leagues before eventually turning his hand to coaching and management.

No more there. It is closed since Dec 2013. Take out from list. It failed due to low business very high rental and staff shortage. Furthermore the owner could not afford to keep it due to high overheads
As I am a big kebab fan and I never find good kebab in China we took a taxi from Ya Long Bay to Dadonghai Beach just for eating at Merhaba's, but we never found the place. One of the waitresses from a russian restaurant in the area told us that it was no longer there as it had moved.
Accually not a Restaurant,its a small 2m to 2,5 m house with 2 open sides.Hygiene was ok,but also many flys around Good Kebab,Price was around 50 RMB,you can get a whole chinese set menu for this.Meat a little dry but hey,you are not in Istanbul , you are in Sanya.Enjoy the Food and look at the beach.Just nice
We have been there and the owner + coffee are the best in Sanya. Turkish owner is speaking many languages, tell about Sanya and Istanbul. Dishes are delicious and all is clean. Inga & Peter from Poland
very nice owner- fluent in english, german, russian, turkish. Food was very good- pide freshly baked, doener very tasty. A very welcome change to all the seaside resort - restaurants in dadonghai bay. one drawback, however- we felt the prices were a bit on the expensive side, especially considering you get a whole chinese meal in the open-air shopping mall... More
it's on the beach side (at the gate of intime hotel to the beach)。 the name of Merhaba is turkish( to chinese is "你好"="hello" ) ,this is the first turkish food shop in sanya,their pide have 4 taste,the one with beef is wonderful,another one is donner. here is also a good place to chat about your travel routin ,their boss...

As the legend John Lennon once said: It's 'another year over and a new one just begun'. Although, actually, if you were anywhere near a shopping centre over Christmas, then he probably said it again… and again… and again…. but I digress.
With 2013 upon us, you've probably already thought about the changes you want to make. These targets are our very own little bids for fresh starts. It can be uplifting to think that we could improve ourselves with just a few changes. But, whether we want to quit smoking for good, excel further at work or be a little lighter on the scales, the problem will always remain the same – how do we keep these personal promises? Historically, the first two weeks of January are said to be the time when we're most likely to throw in the towel.
Whether it's a simple case of 'drunken dreams; impractical promises made over a glass of bubbly on New Year's Eve, or whether we're simply unrealistic with ourselves, it can leave us feeling dejected when we fail. But rest assured that whatever it is you want to achieve over the coming year, there is more than likely an app for that...
Think about the tens of millions of the things that are downloaded from like the likes of iTunes on a daily basis. They fit so many different purposes – and so it stands to reason that more and more are now being designed with our resolutions in mind.
But how useful can they really be? A recent study from experience day company Buyagift.com found that 41% of people in the UK have avoided setting any goals for 2013. The same study also uncovered that of those of us that did make a resolution, 40% aren't holding out any hope for success. Even more poignantly, though, 65% expect to fall short over the next month.
But the question is: how many of these people felt that way because of a lack of support or the right knowledge? How successful could they have been if they had access to the right app? Let's take a look at two of the best ones that are out there at the minute.
You'll get by with a little help from your friends…
Facebook friends, that is. Now we know what the Beatles were going on about in their hit song. Any expert will tell you that you need to be surrounded by your friends if you're to break a longstanding habit. But not all of us are lucky enough to have loved ones that are sympathetic to our plight - particularly if we are trying to give up smoking, for example.
However, in an age when social media and technology is allowing us to communicate on a grand scale, it surely stands to reason that it can be used to help us kick the habit through connecting us with likeminded people, and arming us with the right facts. Now, cue the first of the two apps that we at Independent Technology rate at the minute.
Stub it out for good with the Quit FullStop app
If you're looking to quit smoking and need a little help keeping your resolve, then this brand new Facebook app from leading quit smoking resource quitfullstop.co.uk is perfect. It allows you to log the date that you stop – which it then uses to update other users, and of course, your Facebook friends.
It will update every time you hit a milestone, and it's designed so that you can track your success, it gives you handy pieces of advice and facts along the way – all of which are designed to keep you motivated. It'll keep you updated on the rewards that you'll reap for becoming smoke free - for example, after 24 hours, it lets you know that your blood pressure and pulse rate has returned to normal; after 48 hours you learn that your sense of taste and smell will also start to recover. For me, this is what helps most: knowing why you're doing it. The odd like from a few of your friends wouldn't hurt, either.
Shedding those pounds at the click of a button
The key to resolution success is information – the right information. When you're trying to lose weight, eating healthily can be tough, particularly when you're faced with reams of confusing and often conflicting information about calories this, and e-numbers that. This is probably why many of us let our weight loss plans fall by the 'waist' side – get it? Sorry…
But, Lose It is a great app for those of us who want to shape up for the coming year. Whether you want to be beach ready for the summer or want get back into that favourite pair of jeans, this handy tool is brilliant because you can record everything you eat – be it at a restaurant or at home. This intelligent application will track your weekly calorie intake and the ratio of carbohydrates to proteins or fats. It can also be integrated with your social networks, so you'll be able to share your success and encourage others to join you on your health drive. I'm finding humming that tune again... Thanks Ringo...
What else is great about this one is that the clever guys behind it have ensured that inputting your data isn't a tedious process. They've streamlined it so that you can upload parts of restaurant menus, and it boasts a full database of foods and ingredients already so most of it is already there.
So whatever it is that you want to achieve in 2013, don't give up prematurely – there are many apps out there that are ideal if you need that extra support.

Felicis, the super angel fund started by former Google exec Aydin Senkut, raises $52 million
- 0
Felicis Ventures, the super angel investment firm that was founded by former Googler Aydin Senkut back in 2006, has raised $52 million for a new fund according to an SEC filing that surfaced on Friday.
The fund, named Felicis Ventures III, is $12 million bigger than the firm's previous institutional fund ($40 million raised in August 2010).
Win a trip to Amsterdam!
We've teamed up with Product Hunt to offer you the chance to win an all expense paid trip to TNW Conference 2017!
According to an earlier article in the Wall Street Journal, the latter fund itself followed a $20 million fund by Silicon Valley investor Ron Conway (SV Angel) and a $8.5 million round provided by another former Google exec, Chris Sacca – who, coincidentally, now runs his own super angel fund, called Lowercase Capital.
Senkut joined Google in 1999 and left the Internet search and advertising company at the end of 2005, a little more than a year after Google went public. He obviously departed Google a wealthy man, and invested in several dozens of startups as an angel investor even before starting Felicis Ventures.
With a relatively small team and by leveraging Senkut's extensive Silicon Valley network, Felicis has made investments in companies like Aardvark, AppJet and SayNow (all acquired by Google), GeoAPI and Posterous (both acquired by Twitter), Chomp (acquired by Apple), Karma (just acquired by Facebook), Mint (acquired by Intuit), Webs (acquired by VistaPrint), Milo (acquired by eBay), Mob.ly (acquired by Groupon), Powerset (acquired by Microsoft) and Tapulous (acquired by Disney).
As you can tell, they've had quite a few exits already.
Other startups in its portfolio that are still flying solo include Angry Birds maker Rovio, Bump, Fitbit, Erply, DailyBooth, Zaarly, Foodspotting, Weebly and DISQUS.
Other well-financed U.S. super angel funds include the aforementioned Lowercase Capital, K9 Ventures, Dave McClure's 500 Startups, CrunchFund and Floodgate.

Winter Work Gloves
Many of our most popular sought-after styles, available in winter versions. From Water-Tite waterproof fabrication to traditional wool and nylon blends, to calfskin leather and Thermolite… there are lots of options to keep your hands protected and warm, without compromising comfort or dexterity. As a general rule of thumb, mitts are warmer than gloves because the air around the fingers acts as insulation against the cold weather.

Square Enix announces localization for PlayStation 3 action role-playing game
[Update: We've added a new gallery of screenshots. Check 'em out!]
Drakengard 3 is hacking and slashing its way to North America in 2014, Square Enix has announced. Developed by Deadly Premonition studio Access Games, the action role-playing game is helmed by series producer Takamusa Shiba and features music from Nier composer Keichi Okabe.
Despite being the third entry in the series, Drakengard 3 transpires prior to the events of the original game, which released for PlayStation 2 nearly a decade ago. Square Enix suggests newcomers should feel perfectly comfortable jumping in with the prequel when it arrives exclusively for PlayStation 3 next year.

Coca Cola charges up rural beverages market
Imagine selling a beverage in a market where there is no power supply. The result could be disastrous for the marketer as sales would not pick up, no matter how advanced the consumer mindset is. Such is the case with India's rural markets, where erratic power supply and low technological developments have hindered the growth of many such FMCG products that need cooling facilities. In order to overcome this dilemma, beverages giant Coca Cola has been rolling out initiatives and product innovations to increase the consumption of its products.
Product innovations and sustainability
According to the company's spokesperson, "For a successful marketing strategy in rural markets, the product or brand needs to be backed by strong distribution network and sustainable technology." Thus, the company, since June last year, has been trying to increase its footprint in the hinterlands by giving away solar coolers called Ekocool to retailers facing power crisis. "This helps our business in two ways. Firstly, now we are not restrained to serve customers only in areas where there is power supply and secondly, the whole exercise helps us grow horizontally and grow our consumer base."
The company has also integrated the solar coolers with mobile chargers and solar lanterns that help retailers earn additional income. Plus, the solar lanterns will bring light to the shop during evening and night time thus helping retailer remain open for longer hours. "While a consumer waits for his mobile to get charged, he is tempted to try our chilled beverages, especially during peak summer seasons," the spokesperson adds. Thus, the strategy is a win-win situation for both the brand and the retailer. Additionally, as part of Coca Cola's '5 By 20' programme, which is to empower five million women by 2020, the company focuses on supporting women-led retail shops in this initiative.
Win-win situation
The company claims that the initiative has been well received both by consumers and retailers. For retailers it has been a cost effective way of minimising operating costs. Sharing an anecdote with Pitch, the spokesperson says, "There is this retailer approximately 20 kms outside Agra, who was not able to sell even a single beverage bottle due to absence of power for as long as nine hours. Post this initiative, she is now able to sell two cases of beverages (48 bottles) a day and that too, without any significant marketing activities!"
Coca Cola ran a pilot test of the solar coolers in smaller towns and areas around Agra and has expanded into five more such markets of West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. Likewise in some areas of rural India, where electricity supply is intermittent, the company rolled out Eutectic coolers. These are coolers with brine solution that keep the product chilled even if there is no electricity supply for more than eight to 10 hours. At some of the other places the focus is on placing ice boxes along with tie-ups with ice manufacturers so that ice is available to our retailers even during peak summers.
Though the company does not disclose any numbers it is investing significantly in developing innovative technology to overcome challenges in the rural markets. It has already installed 20 solar coolers and plans to expand the deployment of up to a total 100 coolers by early next year. In addition, several countries in Africa have expressed interest in the units.
Marketing challenges and strategy
According to data issued by ASSOCHAM, aerated drinks account for about 30 per cent of the Rs 6,000 crore plus market of non-alcoholic beverages, pegging it at approximately Rs 1,800 crore. The industry is expected to grow to Rs 11,000 crore by 2015 at a CAGR of 20 per cent. This leaves a greater opportunity for beverage brands to expand their base in the untapped rural markets. But, the market is not bereft of challenges.
Thus, the spokesperson points out that today, rural markets in India, pose several challenges to beverage companies in terms of expanding their footprint, one of which is the availability of chilled products. The other challenge is of getting more number of people to consume beverages in a ready to drink packaged form, thereby making the purchase more cost effective too. In-addition, distribution of soft drink beverages including making them available in a chilled form is also a challenge. Hence Coca-Cola India has been continuously thinking about newer and innovative ways to reach out to rural consumers.
The company thus, follows an OBPPC (Occasion, brand, price, pack, and channel) strategy. The spokesperson explains, "This involves making available our soft drink brands in the right pack at the right price, sold through the right channel and driving consumption by linking it with right occasion. In the rural markets, our focus is on providing the consumers with value packs (200 and 300 ml glass bottle) since a large part of the consumption in rural India is on-the-go."
For distribution of products, the company has also adopted a hub and spoke model in the rural markets. Also, given that the consumption is not too large in the rural markets, the company and its bottling partners have also adopted a model of smaller 'drop' sizes to retailer premises in rural areas.
Packaging and pricing it right
Since a smaller SKU has more potential for consumption in rural markets, the company has introduced products like Fanta Fun Taste Powder at Rs 5 price point. Fanta Fun Taste powder is a 23.5 gm sachet that makes 200ml of beverage when mixed with water. The company claims to have fortified the product with Vitamins B3, B6, B9 and B12. To target the bottom of the socio economic pyramid, the product has recently been rolled out in 15,000 outlets in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
Added to this, is Coca Cola's belief (based on independent industry reports) that close to 120 billion liters of beverages gets consumed in India annually. Out of which just 4 per cent is consumed in the packaged ready to drink form. This demonstrates the immense opportunity for beverage companies including Coca-Cola India. However given the sheer size of the country and the fact that close to 70 per cent of India still resides in rural areas, therein lies a huge challenge for beverage companies to unlock this potential.
Engaging consumers
Hence communicating to that audience in the right manner also plays a role. The company recently rolled out consumer engagement initiatives in small twns and villages of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. "Jalsa is a unique consumer engagement initiative based on the local 'Folk Fare'- narrated through dance, poetry & plays. The program includes organising shows (read Jalsa's) for an audience of 15,000-20,000 per show. 'Thums Up Jalsa' witnesses professional dancers perform live on some of the most popular Hindi and Bhojpuri songs. This show lasts for about 2 to 3 hours. About 3 days prior to the event an auto rickshaw advertises / communicates about show timings and the event to the rural consumers," the spokesperson explains.
Additionally, point of sale communication material is put at villages where the programme is being activated. To be a part of the Thums Up Jalsa, the consumers just need to buy a bottle of Thums Up and get free entry tickets. For example, a consumer on buying one returnable glass bottle of any of Coca Cola's soft drink beverage receives one ticket to the show. Sometimes each ticket also carries a unique number, which entitles the consumer to win prizes like TV / music systems, in contests organised during the show. "In the end, consumers buy our beverages, come to the show and have a good time along with their families," the spokesperson sums up.

travelpods changed and im confused!!! great photos though and glad you got to bagkok ok...wierd about the police stopping you though!!!! have fun on the beach!!!! :'( ha
Trip Start
Sep 01, 2009
Trip End
Dec 15, 2009
Where I stayed
Baam Pim, Chiang Mai
Riverline Guesthouse, Bangkok
I spent the following few days tucked up in bed, whilst Matt surfed the internet, watched Spurs (lose) and walked around generally bored - incredibly annoying this illness stuff! We also had to move GH as we hadn't booked into Banilah long enough, as we were supposed to be in Pai! So we stayed a few extra days instead, long enough for me to get better, and had to wave bye bye to Pai :o( It just wasn't meant to be...
When I had started to recover, we decided to hire another scooter, 'Pop', for our last day in Chiang Mai so we could make up for lost time and visit sights we had planned to see. Off we popped (on Pop) to Lake Huay Tung Thao (reccommended by Miss Plant) - we enjoyed a lovely afternoon, relaxing by the water in little wooden huts ordering food and drink. We managed to find ourselves in the 'family' section, so there were lots of children playing in the water and families eating big, delicious homemade lunches together (we hoped to be invited to one, but it wasn't to be). Later on we headed to a village, Bo Sang, where they make traditional oriental umbrellas - was quite lovely.
That evening, we were lucky to stumble upon some celebrations for the 3 day Lantern festival of the YeePeng month. There was a big, colourful street parade of rather attractive Uni students, dressed in traditional Thai outfits, dancing and performing. In the backround, hundreds of Kome Loy lanterns (mini hot air balloons), were being lit and 'set free' into the sky - it was really beautiful...lots of little fire lanterns floating into the night!! It was a great atmosphere, and we were really glad that we were in Chiang Mai to experience it.
The following day we left the fab northern city and headed back to Bangkok. The bus was pretty good - reclining seats, air con, pillows, blankets...and 2 random stops by the police who checked all the Thai men's passports/I.D.s - not sure what that was about?!? We headed back to our ol' faithful GH, the Riverline and received another warm welcome - "back again??" After a snooze, we decided to hit Siam Square and visited the cinema to watch This Is It - it was rather good and had Matt and I dancing like MJ all the way home!
Tonight we have another overnight bus to Krabi....its time to bum around on the beach, at last!! We are quite excited about island hopping, catching some rays and snorkelling in the big blue - we just hope that the weather is our friend and my immune system holds up!!

They are not women, nor can we expect them to be women, even with lots of classes and training and spiritual connectedness.

I think the answer is: whatever the mom wants. And that might be "leave me alone, I don't want you here right now." |

I also think that the mom (especially a first-timer) might not know what she wants in advance of labor.... I sure didn't. It was important for me to have everyone involved in the birth be really flexible and to understand that I might want to change my mind. |

But we're talking two people out of billions.

Is that enough justification for the roles we give men in birth today? My husband and I have been having some intriguing conversations about his role(s) in our three births (one homebirth attended and two unassisted) and what HE learned about himself, about me, about being a parent, and about giving up control. It is so different than what we thought it would be. What do you think? What do your DPs think? I really want to know. |

We don't want anybody to ever catch a cold or get a scratch. We want to believe there's a pill or a therapy that can fix anything. We want to blame some individual when something happens (our child trips and falls, a storm knocks down a tree across our driveway, etc.,etc.) It's rampant throughout the culture and I think that modern obstetrical practice is only one symptom of it.
Anyway...I'm not trying to suggest that birth isn't over-medicalized in our society, as it's self-evident to me that it is. But, I think the tendency to blame it on a patriarchal attempt to "take over" birth is a massive over-simplification. |
well for us, birth is the ultimate finale to an act of love-making. it is a time to connect and welcome the new little spirit... and, as in love-making, the best thing my partner does is make me feel relaxed, and listen to my needs. |

At the birth, DH was a champ. He was a rock both physically and emotionally. I had an on-call OB, as well as the nursing staff--all female. But to me, the medical staff was just kind of background noise. I really stayed focused on DH's soothing words and voice. I suppose it doesn't really matter WHO mom chooses to partner with her in the birth, just as long as it is the person who helps her feel comfortable. |

The 1972 Munich Summer Olympics
The Dark Side
©The Jewish Virtual Library
Forty years ago, it was 4:30 in the morning on Sept. 5, 1972, when five Palestinian terrorists wearing track sweat suits climbed the six-foot six-inch fence surrounding the Olympic Village. Although they were seen by several people, no one thought anything was unusual since athletes routinely hopped the fence; moreover, the terrorists' weapons were hidden in athletic bags.
These five were met by three more men who are presumed to have obtained credentials to enter the village. The Palestinians then used stolen keys to enter two apartments being used by the Israeli team at 31 Connollystraße.
Israeli wrestling referee Yossef Gutfreund heard a faint scratching noise at the door of the first apartment. When he investigated, he saw the door begin to open and masked men with guns on the other side. He shouted "Hevre tistalku!" (Hebrew: "Guys, get out of here!") and threw his nearly 300-lb. (135-kg) weight against the door to try to stop the Palestinians from forcing their way in. In the confusion, coach Tuvia Sokolovsky and race-walker Dr. Shaul Ladany escaped and another four athletes, plus the two team doctors and delegation head Shmuel Lalkin, managed to hide.
Wrestling coach Moshe Weinberg, attacked the kidnappers as the hostages were being moved from one apartment to another, allowing one of his wrestlers, Gad Tsobari, to escape. The burly Weinberg knocked one of the intruders unconscious and stabbed another with a fruit knife before being shot to death. Weightlifter and father of three Yossef Romano, 31, also attacked and wounded one of the intruders before being killed. The Arabs then succeeded in rounding up nine Israelis to hold as hostages.
At 9:30, the terrorists announced that they were Palestinians and demanded that Israel release 200 Arab prisoners and that the terrorists be given safe passage out of Germany. The Palestinians were led by Luttif Afif ("Issa"), his deputy Yusuf Nazzal ("Tony"), and junior members Afif Ahmed Hamid ("Paolo"), Khalid Jawad ("Salah"), Ahmed Chic Thaa ("Abu Halla"), Mohammed Safady ("Badran"), Adnan Al-Gashey ("Denawi"), and his cousin Jamal Al-Gashey ("Samir").
After hours of tense negotiations, the Palestinians, who it was later learned belonged to a PLO faction called Black September, agreed to a plan whereby they were to be taken by helicopter to the NATO air base at Firstenfeldbruck where they would be given an airplane to fly them and their hostages to Cairo. The Israelis were then taken by bus to the helicopters and flown to the airfield. In the course of the transfer, the Germans discovered that there were eight terrorists instead of the five they expected and realized that they had not assigned enough marksmen to carry out the plan to kill the terrorists at the airport.
After the helicopters landed at the air base around 10:30 p.m., the German sharpshooters attempted to kill the terrorists and a bloody firefight ensued. At 11, the media was mistakenly informed that the hostages had been saved and the news was announced to a relieved Israeli public. Almost an hour later, however, new fighting broke out and one of the helicopters holding the Israelis was blown up by a terrorist grenade. The remaining nine hostages in the second helicopter were shot to death by one of the surviving terrorists.
At 3 a.m., a drawn and teary-eyed Jim McKay, who had been reporting the drama throughout the day as part of ABC's Olympic coverage, announced: "They're all gone."
In July 2012, German magazine Der Spiegel reported that Germany had in fact been warned about the possibility of a Palestinian terrorist attack at the Games but took no actions to secure the Olympic Village.
Five of the terrorists were killed along with one policeman, and three were captured. A little over a month later, on Oct. 29, a Lufthansa jet was hijacked by terrorists demanding that the Munich killers be released.
The Germans capitulated and the terrorists were let go, but an Israeli assassination squad was assigned to track them down along with those responsible for planning the massacre. According to George Jonas in Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team, eight of the 11 men targeted for death were killed. Of the remaining three, one died of natural causes and the other two were assassinated, but it is not known for sure if they were killed by Israeli agents.

Forecasting the Effects of Obesity and Smoking on U.S. Life Expectancy
Background: While increases in obesity over the past 30 years have adversely affected population health, there have been concomitant improvements due to reductions in smoking. Better understanding of the joint effects of these trends on longevity and quality of life will help policymakers target resources more efficiently. Methods: For each year from 2005 to 2020, we forecast life expectancy and qualityadjusted life expectancy for a representative 18 year old, assuming a continuation of past trends in smoking from the National Health Interview Survey (1978-79, 1990-91 and 2004-06), and past trends in body-mass index (BMI) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1971-75, 1998-1994, and 2003-06). The 2003 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey was used to examine the effects of smoking and BMI on health-related quality of life. Results: The negative effects of increasing BMI overwhelmed the positive effects of declines in smoking in multiple scenarios. In the base case, increases in the remaining life expectancy of a typical 18 year old are held back by 0.71 years or 0.91 quality-adjusted years between 2005 and 2020. If all U.S. adults became normal weight non-smokers by 2020, LE is forecast to increase by 3.76 life years or 5.16 quality-adjusted years. Conclusions: If past obesity trends continue unchecked, the negative impact on U.S. population health is forecast to overtake the positive effect from declining smoking rates, which could erode the pattern of steady gains in health experienced since early in the 20th century.

BC Wood and Canada Wood partners (CFPA, COFI, QWEB) recently organized a one day seminar at the Shanghai Expo to introduce and promote the use of finished wood products to a select group of Chinese interior designers, architects, and builders. Five Canadian companies attended the seminar and presented their products to the Chinese audience promoting a range of products including furniture, kitchen cabinets, and engineered wood products. The Vancouver pavilion, where we held the seminar, showcased wood species and products in a wide variety of applications to the numerous attendees and visitors of the facility.
China, being well known for its massive population and low cost labour, has progressed significantly in recent years with regions such as Shanghai accumulating significant wealth. Luxury products are prominent and the wealth is clearly evident. High end products from around the world are already active in China and working to establish market share. European designers and producers of high end furniture already have product in Chinese showrooms targeting the wealthy class in China. Although it is still a young market for these products, there is evidence that China is progressing quickly and that the years to come will prove interesting for finished products.
BC Wood will continue to observe China to identify key market opportunities for our member companies. For more information, please contact David Pao at firstname.lastname@example.com

In 1992, Michael Carruth sent Ireland into a frenzy when he won gold medal for boxing at the Barcelona Olympics. It was Ireland's first Olympic gold medallist in 36 years. Singing, presenting and jigging, there's no stopping Emma O'Driscoll. Presenting Den Tots with Soky by day, she's teamed up with Irish dancer Mick Donegan for her high kicking jibs and reels on Sunday evenings.
