Yay I beat Black Tower! Now I guess I'm back to shiny hunting.
Yay I beat Black Tower! Now I guess I'm back to shiny hunting.
I have officially stopped playing BW2 until XY come out. When they do, and I unlock the ability to transfer from past games, I will transfer my old Pokémon from BW2 to XY, and restart my BW2 games. You will see no further updates from me until then.
Got my Join Avenue to rank 7 today. Also went and caught Uxie, Azelf, and Terrakion. All in Pokeballs Cobalion didn't want to stay in a Pokeball, so I turned it off and will go back later and try again. Then I'll go and get Mesprit
Yesterday I began with my usual Magnemite trading followed by Join Avenue and levelled my Dojo and Emporium up!
Then I decided to catch all the legendaries remaining in my game, even if I'd already got them in my Dex from trading.
I started by catching Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, all three of which I needed Dex entries for so that was awesome!
Then I went and explored Clay Tunnel for the first time. I knew it was always there, but I'd always been so busy with the Tree Hollow, PWT and EV training to explore it. So anyways, we had fun exploring and at the end, did the puzzle and caught Regirock even though I had all three Regi's transferred over from my Heart Gold game. I then turned the room into the Ice Temple and caught Regice.
After this I was a bit worried because I couldn't turn the room into the Steel one. I was worried that I needed all three Regis from THIS game, not previous games to unlock Regigigas. Luckily, he accepted my old Registeel and for the first time ever in my Pokemon history, I caught Regigas. He was just always a legendary that eluded me for some reason. Well we finally got him.
Next we went and caught Reshiram and Kyurum and then fused them and after that we caught Terrakion even though I got an EV trained Jolly one.
After that I caught my swarm Pokemon, a Crogunk
So a nice evening spent exploring deep caves and catching legendaries, always fun!
I must say, Breloom is the ultimate catcher Pokemon. I have an EV trained Technician Breloom that I've taught False Swipe to. Legendaries are much easier to catch when you can get their HP to exactly 1 hp and have a 100% accuracy sleep inducer in Spore!
Excellent work, Bree!!!

Still on the trail of shiny Magikarp in Black 2. While hatching eggs I occasionally go check out the one hidden grotto I can reach on Route 3 without surfing. I caught Pachirisu and Manectric there. Going to use both for breeding; I want my pink electric squirrel and blue Electrike. Also found some stuff I can sell later.

After arriving in Castelia city I found all the clowns to get my rare candy award. I head to battle the battle company then get the TM for Flash. I go to the gym and see Iris. I follow her to the sewers (I already knew where they were. Anyway she isn't handy she didn't go in or something, maybe she'd be like "AHH MY NAILS ARE GONNA GET DIRTY IN THE SEWERS! AND THESE ARE NEW SHOES!" lol)
I catch a Zubat and level it up while beating up some trainers. I then go to the team plasma grunts after getting items and beating trainers. My zubat gets to level 22 and evolves while my Swadloon evolves into leavanny at level 23 and my dewott was level 25.
I catch an eevee to and level it to level 21 then stop because I want it to be a jolteon and it will also learn thunder fang and it already has the move covet.
I head to battle burgh. EASY. Spam wing attacks and air cutters :P
I then go to route 4 and battle trainers and colress. Sorta simple and now golbat is level 25. I gave it protein to and hasn't evolved it! After training in the desert resort eevee is level 21,dewott is level 25 and so isleavanny. Golbat is level 30, only died 3 times, had eaten a protien, it's night AND HASN'T EVOLVED YET!!!! I catch a trapinch and head to nimbasa city. I get the hidden Thunder stone and give it to eevee so it evolves and learns thunder fang. I save after that.

Black 2: Have been training my team during the past days, battling the usual trainers. To my previous list of trainers, I added the two Gamefreak members in Castelia City. Will save the Shadow Triad and N until a later point in this month. All of the training has gotten all four members of my team to level 83. This means they will be finished tomorrow. Also, I did for the first time ever win a Master Ball in one of my lotteries in my Join Avenue tday.
White 2: Finished all of the movies in the Ghost Erasers series. This unlocked the final movie, Brycen-Man Strikes Back Harder. I completed it as well. All of this gave me a Trainer Card upgrade, a Bronze Statue at Pokestar Studios and access to the dressing room. I still have to release all movies with strange endings before I am done here, might come back and do that at some later point. But for now, I am done here, which allowed me to move on to the next thing in the game. I decided to completed the PWT next up. Since I had already done quite much in it before, there wasn't a lot left to do. I beat the Mix Master and Rental Master tournaments once each, and the World Leaders tournament seven times. This unlocked the final tournament, the Champions. I tried it and beat it as well, which gave me another Trainer Card upgrade. Before leaving, I also cleared the Type Expert Tourmanents for Dragon and Psychic. Will probably return one day and complete the rest of them as well. But for now, I am done here as well. Next, I had to find something to do before I am done with the things I am doing right now in Black 2. So I decided to try the Battle Subway. It didn't go very well at first, I lost three times in the early rounds. But I managed to get a streak of 14 in the end at least, will continue tomorrow to see how far it can go.
Hey do you work on your Join Avenue? That is a great way of leveling up.
Anywho. I have been doing my gameplay replays for every gen. version since Sapphire and I finally here at White 2. So I Just battled Team Plasma at the ship and got kicked out. My team is all at level 47. Yes I grind! And so far my team is Panpour, pansear, Pansage, Riolu, and Altaria.
Double battles with Ballarina (koffing) and Lilwun (oshawott) vs gothita and trubbish.
Wants to defeat trubbish before gothita so scraggy in reserve gets sp def evs only.
Remembers how trubbish tends to need multiple hits instead of one to be taken out.
Chooses for both pokémon to attack trubbish; fire blast from Ballarina and razor shell from Lilwun.
Lilwun successfully knocks out trubbish.
Ballarina levels up and has ability to learn sludge bomb; teaches sludge bomb to forget how to use fire blast on the gothita so as not to knock it out.
Ballarina uses fire blast...gothita faints. >.<#

Went on another catching, trading and importing spree to bring my Pokedex up to over 400 captured now, over half way
Would just like to say a big 'thanks' to my friend Dreamtheater66 who traded me all the remaining Starter Pokemon I needed, what a massive help
I have now captured every single Unovan Pokemon, the first time I've completed any of the Pokedex' in years! Of course, in White 2, the Unova Pokedex has more than just Unovan Pokemon in it -.- I still have around 10-15 to obtain to have completed that one totally, and two Pokemon I haven't 'seen' yet, which I am trying to get first so I can get the Shiny Haxorus. The first in Pupitar which I will easily get today as I have a Tyranitar, the second is Vespiquen who I am having lots of trouble with.
Combee only has a 12.5% chance to be a female and only a 20% encounter chance in the wild making it extremely difficult to find one I can evolve.
Similarly, Vespiquen only has a 5% chance to appear in a shaking grass spot. I was at it for hours and couldn't find one. To make it worse, I kept finding Roserade and Unfezant, both of which has the same 5% as Vesp D:
If anyone could trade me one I'd really appreciate it!

Went over to the Nature Preserve to pick up that Shiny Haxorus. Decided to SR for an Adamant one so I can EV Train it later. Didn't take as long as expected, even though I was using Premier Balls... Anyway, after 3-4 SR's, I got an Adamant Male and immediately saved the game. Caught some more Pokemon and then went to drop off the Haxorus in the box. I checked its stats one more time, just to compare them to the Haxorus I already had, and I noticed that it had Rivalry as its Ability... I wanted Mold Breaker but I wasn't thinking about it while I was SR'ing -_-.

Got my shiny Magikarp today. After hatching and evolving it I took a break to check out the daily swarm, but I already have Swalot, so I let it go. Checked a couple more hidden grottos, then swapped out my pokemon in the daycare and started breeding charmander.

Next up...
Spoiler:- Part Three:
I've made it my goal to complete the national dex and get the shiny charm so I can do some shiny hunting. It will be the first time I've completed the pokedex for any game. I only need to see 64 pokemon to fully fill my pokedex and I still need to catch the ones I haven't gotten already. Thankfully with a few trades yesterday I got some of the harder pokemon out of the way. It's still gonna be a bit time consuming, but I'm hoping to be done by the end of this week.

Favorite Pokemon:
Running around collecting charmander eggs and putting them in my PC for mass hatching later. I have my Beartic out so I can surf over to the second hidden grotto on Route 3; I periodically check both grottos while I'm egg-collecting. Have gathered about 10,000 pokedollars' worth of mulch to sell off later and have caught some of the grotto pokemon. Hoping to find some evolution stones while I'm at it, but I'm not holding my breath.

Not sure how you mean, I do work on my Join Avenue by guiding people there, and I also have a few shops there that offer leveling for Pokemon, but I don't use them that much.
Black 2: Battled my Rival, the two Gamefreakers at Castelia and some trainers in one of the Nimbasa Stadiums. This was enough to get the four members of the team to level 85, so it was time for the challenge. I flew to the Pokemon League, added my Hydreigon and Zoroark to them, and the team was done. I entered the main place and challenged the E4. Started with Shauntal and Caitlin since I had an advantage against them, and they turned out to be easy to defeat. Continued with Grimsley, who was a bit harder but still manageable. I had saved Marshal until the very last since I expected him to give me the most trouble. It turned out to be true, but he was still easier than I had expected. My Hydreigon and Scrafty could take down most of his team without problems, it might have gone even easier if I had used Scrafty as my lead. Continued with Iris, and she was quite easy as Scrafty could more or less sweep her team without problems. So with that, I had beaten the E4 once more, and I arrived back in Aspertia City again, where I got a Medal for completing the E4 and Champion with only Dark-types. Will have to see what I will be doing next in this game.
White 2: Continued in the Battle Subway, did to my own surprise make it to the sixth round before I lost due to playing badly against a Psychic/Ghost-team. Will probably try again tomorrow to see if I can make it any further.
Will also start a somewhat larger project which will take place on all of my 5th gen games, and the start is on B/W, so I might not play B/W2 as much for the rest of this week.
Since my last update;
I got a shiny Dratini from Benga, which I find pretty interesting. I may use it as a specially orientated Dragonite, we'll see..
Caught myself a Sawk, I've always wanted a Sawk, looking at it, it's rather interesting looking, and it's strong too!
Did take me a few tries to catch one with a beneficiary nature and decent IV's, but I got there, eventually :]
I have been traversing Isshu quite a bit, been checking out as many tree hollows as I can, with little fortune though.
Trained Sawk up a good few levels, he's around the mid 60's, I plan to get him to 70's, challenge N & the E4 with Sawk as a new member to my team. I also forgot to mention that, I also caught a cool little Sandslash on the same route and during the same moment I got Sawk!
Finally met N in Nimbasa, looking to catch Reshiram and then battle him as soon as!
I've also been making it a habit to get berries from the lady west of Nimbasa too, they're pretty useful.
I also left the Drudiggon, that I received from the DW, at the day care center, hatching two, including one with a good nature.
I did the same with Gothitelle, but haven't done much hatching with that to say anything more.
Played quite a bit in the DW, and got myself a rattled Whismur, which is nice, though I do have an Exploud that needs importing from Hoenn.
Currently on the way to facing the legendary, Reshiram. I did run into Cedric a short while ago, that wasn't awkward..
Caught a Reshiram, whilst watching the big bang theory, bazinga! Mild natured too, which isn't too bad.
I think I'll call it a day here, wish me luck :]
*Hoenn is where the start is*
Thanks to everyone who offered me a Vespiquen I was negotiating with a few people when I had 10 mins to spare and quickly jumped on my 3DS. I thought myself give it a few goes and lo and behold, the Vespiquen appeared from a shaking spot FINALLY. Perseverance paid off in the end, but really appreciate the kindness of those who jumped to help me!
Catching the Vespiquen meant I had 'seen' every Pokemon in the Unova Dex. I got on the plane to the Nature Reserve for the first time ever and thought it was beautiful there, although I wish it was much bigger and had a better variety of Pokemon.
I had taken one of my Syncronizers with me, and got an Adamant shiny Haxorus but unlike the poor guy above me, I looked at his nature and reset when I saw it had Rivalry. I resetted and got an Adamant one with Mold Breaker second time. I will EV train him soon.
After that I caught a Nuzleaf and did some more catching, including catching a 5% encounter chance Castform from a shaking spot, after only 3 tries. Am over 420 Pokemon obtained now, slowly getting there my friends.
Take it easy everyone x

I FINALLY won my first online battle!
Call me whatever, but at the time I was testing. 13 losses and 1 win doesn't seem much like a thing to celebrate (Maybe 13 isn't so unlucky!), but it sure is a confidence booster.
I also won the PWT Champions tournament.

PM me for IVs, level, etc.
Just the usual, catching and trading more Pokemon for my 'Dex, it's going well and have nearly 460 Pokemon now.
I found a new, better way of getting more people into my Join Avenue. The Magnemite Coil was just not working for me, every Magnemite had already been traded. I discovered that if you just connect with some on GTS Negotiations it will put a new visitor in your Avenue. It took around 1min per person so spent around 15 mins doing that then had a good time in my Avenue Got my emporium to rank 9 and my dojo to rank 8 after which it turned into a Colosseum.
It's going well. Take it easy guys :') x

I have been on lexapro in the past with another met to help me sleep. It seemed to do wonders for me. I am not on meds currently and strongly considering going back on. Wellbutrin did nothing for me.
While reading your story I wanted you to know that i am on the same med and it took up to a month to start to work so if you are having problems just give it some time. If you want to talk please feel free to friend me you may also message me Hope to hear from you soon/

The soaring economy of post war America was the gold standard for the American Dream.
The people of Mid-Century America had never been more prosperous, never had Dad, the breadwinner, taken home so much money.
The soaring strength of the roaring bull market was at an all time high symbolizing confidence in the Capitalist system. American industries were the symbol of our strength, and like the biceps of the healthy and strong, spoke of the wisdom of our ways.
In early January of 1953 Life Magazine published a special issue devoted solely to the booming American economy. Entitled "The American and His Economy," it was an unabashed love letter to this record-breaking economic splendor.
A Land of Good n' Plenty
"During the past dozen years or so," the magazine begins in an introduction written by social historian Frederick Lewis Allen, "we have been watching in the United States something close to a miracle…The once sick American economy has become the wonder of the modern world."
The articles then go on to boast: "In two decades the U.S. has by-passed the methods and exceeded the goals which old-fashioned socialism had set up as ideals for an economic society."
"It has achieved instead something totally new and something infinitely better."
"More or less unconsciously the nation has pulled off a major social revolution. The means to this end have been historically unique, a process mainly of grading society up from the bottom rather than down from the top."
"Most of the change has been wrought by a simple but bold economic idea: more of everything for everybody."
"It is an idea of production and consumption rather than conservation and thrift."
"Some of the results are far-reaching:
- More Americans now own their homes than rent.
- Since 1929, the US has moved halfway toward equality of income for all members of the population.
- The US has reached a state almost unique in history where increase in population means increase in prosperity.
The 99%
For Mr and Mrs America, the factory workers, engineers, housewives and business managers, the issue never lets us forget that, "the US is still a place to get rich quick and honestly."
A Confident Future
And finally, to answer for the reader the most important question of all about their economy the article asks: "Where are we going from here and what will happen to me?"
According to the giddy experts, there was no end in sight for this soaring economy.
The bull in our soaring bull market was a symbol that the US could compete and win.
And in this land of good and plenty one thing we were never short of was confidence.
A Bull Market Indeed!

Why Hiring A Luxury Car Is Better Than Buying It Outright
There are times when hiring a product is better than buying them. For example if you planning to stay in a city for a few years, it would be better to rent a house rather than incur a long term liability by borrowing home loan and then buying it. In the same light if you are planning to buy a car you should exercise some common sense and then move forward. If the car is required for a specific purpose or for a limited period of time, it would be better to go in for hiring a car rather than buying it outright. This is all the more applicable when you are planning to buy a luxury car or a top end premium car. They are quite expensive and they could cost a few thousand dollars. Running them and maintaining them in good condition is also a big expense and for many it could be an avoidable expense. Hence, before investing your hard earned money you could explore the possibilities of hiring the same because it could be a more sensible option. There are not shortages of exotic car rentals and all that is required is to place to a call to these service providers and the rest will be taken care of by them.
You Would Be Using Them Sparingly
Since these luxury cars are extremely expensive, the owners would always like to maintain them in the best of condition. Even the smallest of scratches could cost a few hundred dollars to repair. The spare parts are also expensive. Given this ground situation many luxury car owners use these white elephants very sparingly and do not take full advantage of it. Given the above situation there is no doubt renting a Lamborghini exotic car could be a great option. It will help them to at least make use of the car once in a while. Otherwise own luxury cars could lie idle in the garages and it would more or less be a dead investment.
Hence when all the above factors are taken into account there is hardly any doubt that going in for luxury car rental would always be a much better choice unless there is a valid reason for buying them outright. Even if you have the money, you should do a proper due diligence and talk it over with experts and then decide as to which is the better option. Hiring is always a better option unless the car is to be a part of our daily life. Just buying them to satisfy personal egos would not be the right way forward. There are however some valid reasons where buying them outright could be a feasible idea especially for business purposes.

PARIS (Reuters) - German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble renewed a call for a core group of European Union countries to move ahead faster with economic and political integration, 20 years after his ground-breaking proposal fell on deaf ears in key partner France.
In an article published in the Financial Times on Monday, Schaeuble proposed creating an EU commissioner with the power to reject national budgets that breach the bloc's fiscal rules, and establishing an inner-core parliament for the euro zone.
"In order to make progress in all of these areas, we should keep using the approach that proved its mettle back in 1994: to establish cores of co-operation within the EU that enable smaller, willing groups of member states to forge ahead," Schaeuble wrote in the article, co-authored by fellow German Christian Democrat Karl Lamers.
The center-right pro-European members of Chancellor Angela Merkel's party said the EU had already taken that direction with the launch of the euro currency.
They acknowledged that many EU countries remain reticent about closer political union that would involve transferring more sovereignty to Europe.
Countries such as Britain should put forward proposals for returning some competences to national governments, they said, while the EU should focus mainly on the internal market, trade, currency and financial markets, climate, environment and energy; and foreign and security policy.
The authors voiced sympathy for British demands for EU action to crack down on alleged "benefit tourism" and what they called a wave of poverty-driven immigration within the 28-nation bloc.
The original Schaeuble-Lamers plan for a "core Europe" to forge ahead with political union, published in Le Monde in 1994, drew an embarrassed silence from the French authorities, then divided between ailing Socialist president Francois Mitterrand and a conservative government led by Edouard Balladur.
While France and Germany jointly laid the foundations for post-war European integration, Paris has twice drawn back from closer political union, rejecting a European defense community in 1954 and a proposed EU constitution in 2005.

Laid back and not a complicated menu. Find their portions quite big hence perfect for sharing. I love the fish pesto and starters. Steak is masarap too. Kinda pricey and packed on weekends.
Good food, good price, Like a local version of TGIF. The restaurant is generally western. Bbq Ribs (yummy!), fries, salads of all sorts, that are around half the price of TGIF. Bigby's is for the heavy eaters.
Suitable for either small or big groups. Has several dishes to choose from meant to share or for solo, depending on one's appetite. Prices are fairly expensive.
Hi Leah, We heard you and thank you for your review. We'd like to know better on how we can improve. Feel free to email us at firstname.lastname@example.com for any concerns. Sincerely, Bigby's Social Media Team More
Best option for steak, pasta and a variety of sandwiches. Easy to locate as it is just within an SM mall.
This place is pricey but one thing you don't want to give a miss for a treat. The foods are gorgeous!
I have been coming here for years and gradualy the quality of the kitchen and the waiters have been slipping. at first i would come here to eat the hamburger on which they put swiss cheese(mmm) and they would have excellent french fries. the last two times they did not gave the same quality. the cheese was gone. the burger... More
This place can be pricey for a local but the food is absolutely good! Went here with my friends, family and sometimes just by myself. I wouldn't mind coming back!!
It was dinnertime but for one craving a sandwich with potato chips, we decided to give Bigby's a try. We ordered the Triple Decker because we would share. It is actually chicken sandwich layered with cheese, lettuce and a slice of ham? (@300+) And yeah it came with the potato chips that we soo love. The salad was surprisingly good... More
My daughter took me to this place 2 times last April. I liked the ambiance, the food and the service. I recommend their halo-halo and fish kinilaw.

US oil export policy changes. How might the tanker market change?
By james tweed • Jun 27th, 2014 • Category: TankersThe Coracle tanker market podcast for June 27, 2014 in association with Braemar-Seascope
To learn more about the tanker markets and other aspects of commercial shipping, head to www.coracleonline.com
This podcast comes from Coracle – myCoracle.com
Thanks for downloading the VLCC Tanker Market report podcast from myCoracle.com and Braemar Seascope for June 27th 2014.
Before we start the report, a quick message about our online shipping courses. We're going to start rolling out new versions soon – fully updated and running on our Learning Line platform we think you're going to love them! Anyone who bought a course in the last 5 years will be sent new login details. We're still interested in finding more mentors to work with, so if you'd like to know more about how you can support your industry, please get in touch.
Now the VLCC report and headlines have appeared in the mainstream press over whether the US is changing its policy concerning the export of crude oil. Congress banned exports of crude when it passed the Energy Policy and Conservation Act after the oil embargo of 1973-74, but over the last few years, exceptions have been made, especially to Canada who in turn sold the refined products back to the US. However, the Obama administration is clearing the way for exports of minimally refined US oil in the form of ultralight condensate. The US has issued 118 licenses to export crude since October last year. That compares with just 22 licenses issued during the whole of 2007. Federal officials have confirmed with two energy companies they can legally export shale oil that has passed through a distillation tower as condensate. Obviously in the short term these developments will not affect the tanker markets, however in the longer term the entire trading pattern of the VLCC fleet could be affected should crude imports begin.
This week charterers have continued to enter the VLCC market with a similar amount of volume as the previous week, and finally tipped the balance in the owners' favour. We have now recorded 40 fixtures in the first decade of the month which is reminiscent of the winter market when freight rates were strong. There is not a shortage of tonnage in the Arabian Gulf; rather the recovery has been enquiry-led with as many as eight to ten different charterers in the market at the same time, giving owners the confidence to push for higher freight rates.
However, one can imagine that once the volume of cargo starts to calm down, owners will be looking to fix at prevailing levels rather than asking for more. Current earnings are respectable for this time of year, and it is already obvious that owners are looking to try to lock in the longer voyages such as west Africa/East to secure earnings for as long as possible, rather than fixing a short voyage and expect rates to move higher again.
The 30 day availability index shows 100 VLCCs arriving at Fujairah, of which nine are over 15 years old, compared to 91 last week. The month of July has seen a busy start with 40 cargoes covered in the first 10 days, and a further 15 cargoes up to the 15th July. We expect a similar volume to last year when the July count was 128 cargoes, and the average cargo count for this year now stands at 115 per month. Sentiment over the last day or so has softened slightly due to the reduced volume of cargoes entering the market within the Arabian Gulf.
The freight rate for 280 AG/US Gulf via the Cape is 28, up 3 worldscale points from last week. Bunkers are down $4 to $616 a tonne.
Thanks for listening

How much more power should i expect to gain from a dyno tune with a custom burned chip? My wife is letting me get a dyno tune with a custom burned chip for my birthday and i was undecided whether i wanted to spend the money on that or spend it somewhere else. My current setup is Edelbrock Performer HCI 24# injectors 70 mm BBK TB 80mm ProM MAF TKO 600 355s on a A9l computer. the dyno tune and chip is going to run around $400 just trying to spend my money wisely
for years my buddies and i tuned our forced induction cars so that they lived and driveability, not power. because in a poweradder car peak power will burn them down. i have the wideband and access to the dynojet anytime i want. that being said the best place to tune an NA car is at the track. can the dyno tune make more power, sure. but its not likely it will be fastest with that same tune. IMO, unless you need driveability issues fixed, take the car to the track with your timing light, FP gauge and AFPR and play with those and shift point and launch. you will get more out of that in terms of ET than you will from a dyno tune IMO.
do it for piece of mind (Iron Maiden) my NA car made 25 more hp on dyno, even if you only get a couple more hp its worth it for driveability issues. Hopefully after tune you will be driving car for years its worth it knowing all is well LOL just saw the date of thread i guess its a done deal
My buddy dynoed his 306 with the holley sytemax kit on it, Before tune it had 275 Hp at the rear tires and after tune it was at 313 hp. A guy by the name of Justin Kalwei tuned it out of Kansas City Mo

It's becoming a weekly tradition: shocking Federer news followed by an opinion piece by Peter Bodo. Bodo is definitely a closeted Fedophile – he worries about Roger's future just as much as any die hard Fed fan does. He just does it in a more journalistic way (meaning, no emoticons :P). I've excerpted the best parts of his latest article, or click here for the original.
On Roger's current place in the game:
It's absurd to suggest that he can't win another major, perhaps three or four. But it's just as wrong-headed to argue that he's the same player he was pre-Wimbledon, 2008, or that his place at the center of the tennis universe is reserved until he declares that he's ready to move on. He's moved on. He's been pushed on. Now, only one thing remains to be seen: how hard he wants to fight for what he wants, or thinks he owns. This is going to tell us a great deal about whether Federer looks at his place in the game as some form of entitlement, or an honor he's going to have to fight to keep.
Bodo says Roger's going to have to lower himself before he rises again (get thee to Darren, Roger, RF cap in hand!):
You know the old expression, Pride Goeth Before the Fall. . . But just as pride drives the very best players early in their careers, it can also be a formidable obstacle in the final stages. A champion who isn't willing to sacrifice his pride is a champion with a fatal flaw. Who can forget Jimmy Connors acting as if notching a win over Paul Haarhuis was the crowning moment of his career? Sampras making that phone call to a man he hurt and perhaps wronged, Annacone? Boris Becker, caught red-handed consulting with his trainer in the loo at Wimbledon? Low farce or high drama, such incidents just go to show the lengths to which the warriors will go to have one more shot, one more hit of the glory.
I think the word "ragged" captures Roger's current on court demeanor perfectly:
These days, Federer's game looks ragged, drained of commitment. He seems torn between desiring change and resisting it, and succumbing to the seductive tune of denial. He can drift on to Miami, convinced that he's just a little rusty and short of match play. In the short term, because there's nothing much he can do to stop the bleeding before Maimi starts, that may be the best attitude. But I think his best play will be to leave Florida, with or without the trophy, realizing that the game has changed, and he needs to change with it.
Sorry folks, but sometimes tough love is the only medicine. We hold Federer to high standards because we know how great he is and can still be in the future! And awesome players like Nadal and Murray give Roger more opportunity to prove his greatness, not less. So come on Roger, eat your Wheaties, drink your Tang, take your Flintstones vitamin and start kicking ass again!

February 24, 2012
According to Reuters, more people in developed countries are overweight or obese than ever before, a report by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) found.
The Paris, France-based OECD found obesity rates vary widely from a low of 4% in Japan and Korea to 30% or more in the United States and Mexico. But in more than half of the 34 OECD countries, at least one in two people is now overweight or obese, and rates are projected to rise further. In some countries, two out of three people will be obese within 10 years, the report said.
This report, which the OECD said was a 2012 update to its 2010 report on the economics of obesity prevention entitled "Fit Not Fat," did however find some good news. New data for 10 of the 34 OECD countries showed that over the past decade, obesity rates slowed or stopped growing in England, Hungary, Italy, Korea, and Switzerland, and grew by only 2–3% in France and Spain. Yet in Canada, Ireland, and the United States obesity rates rose by 4–5%.
Looking at childhood obesity, rates have stabilized England, France, Korea, and the United States, and the OECD said this was partly due to governments stepping up efforts to tackle the root causes of obesity.

Denver Paid Sick Leave Initiative: Opponents rally to support Denver's hospitality industry
This morning's No On 300 rally rally in Skyline Park brought out approximately seventy representatives and supporters of the hospitality industry, everyone from five crop-topped Hooters employees to three much more conservatively dressed Denver City Council members.
But everyone in the group sported the plain but aggressive "No On 300" signs that have popped up in Denver restaurants lately.
The hospitality industry's opposition to the Paid Sick Leave Initiative centers on frustrations with the proposal's vague wording, which tips the advantage in favor of employees rather than business owners. If approved, for example, the bill would guarantee paid sick leave to any full-time employees for up to three days -- without an excuse.
For a restaurateur, the problem is very stark. "Imagine showing up to work and there are no other employees behind you," says Leigh Jones, owner of Jonesy's Eat Bar and the incoming president of EatDenver, a group representing sixty independent restaurants. "Initiative 300 allows that. I know from experience that it's very scary to open a small business, and this will only make it harder."
Snooze owner Adam Schlegel speaks in front of this morning's No On 300 rally.

The majority of the anti-300 fight has been staged by the city's hospitality industry, which has adopted signage and slogans to counter the other side's "No flu on my fries" approach. Although the "No on 300" sign is the opponents' most prevalent symbol, one "No on 300" supporter at the rally unfurled a large, homemade sign that echoed Jones's sentiments: "Kill the mom and pops and the last places to eat will be chain and box."
"There's no stereotypical restaurant owner," says Stephanie Bonin, who owns Duo and Olivéa with her husband. "We are all shapes and sizes, genders and races and, most importantly in this forum, political affiliations. Initiative 300 was designed without our input."
The "No On 300" rally was one of a handful of recent steps as the November 1 election approaches. Last week, the pro-300 Campaign for a Healthy Denver presented the Model Denver Healthy Business Award to the Hope Center for its commitment to providing sick days and maintaining health in the workplace.
According to research released by the Bell Policy Center this morning, more than four out of every ten private-sector employees in Denver do not have paid sick leave. Research conducted by the Institute of Women's Policy Research suggests that 72 percent of the city's restaurant workers don't have paid sick leave, says Jenny Davies-Schley, principal of Progress Promotions, LLC.
And then there's the initiative's potential impact on this city's ailing economy. "It makes our small businesses less competitive with other neighboring municipalities," says Councilwoman Mary Beth Susman, one of six Denver City Council members who signed a letter siding with No On 300 last week. "I think we'll lose jobs under the mandate, and it requires the city to go in and monitor the entire operation."
The resulting toll on the city budget adds up to an estimated $700,000 each year. "The city isn't prepared to take this on, and it has never done anything like this," Susman says. "I've spoken to the supporters of Initiative 300, and they've related the success of similar initiatives in other cities, but it's not anything like this."
Susman is hoping that the initiative will be voted down in November, allowing Denver City Council and other city leaders to take a different approach to paid sick leave, one that takes advantage of ideas she has learned from both sides of Initiative 300.
"I would hope that any possible future attempt would come through the council and the state and have a lot of deliberation, that the affected groups themselves would have a chance to craft a more effective measure," Susman says. "I would hope it'd be statewide."

Department of Homeland Security:
Organizational Structure, Spending, and Staffing for the Health Care Provided to Immigration Detainees
GAO-09-401T: Published: Mar 3, 2009. Publicly Released: Mar 3, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7022
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was created in March 2003 as part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). From fiscal year 2003 through fiscal year 2007, the average daily population of detainees in ICE custody increased by about 40 percent, with the most growth occurring since fiscal year 2005. In fiscal year 2007, ICE held over 311,000 detainees at more than 500 detention facilities. Most of these were Intergovernmental Service Agreement (IGSA) facilities--state and local jails under contract with ICE to hold detainees. Some ICE detainees received health care services from IGSA staff, IGSA contractors, or community medical providers, and other ICE detainees received health care provided or arranged by the Division of Immigration Health Services (DIHS). DIHS is mainly composed of contract employees and officers from the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) Commissioned Corps--a uniformed service of public health professionals who are part of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and who provide services in different settings, including ICE detention facilities. In light of questions about the health care provided to detainees in ICE custody, Congress requested information about ICE's organizational structure and its health care resources for detainees. Our report provides (1) a description of ICE's organizational structure for providing health care services to detainees, which includes our review of the relevant agreements between DHS and HHS regarding DIHS; (2) information about ICE's annual spending and staffing resources devoted to the provision of health care for detainees, and the number of services provided; and (3) an assessment of whether ICE's mortality rate can be compared with the mortality rates of the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS)--two entities that are responsible for holding certain persons, such as criminals.
In summary, we found that ICE's organizational structure for providing health care to detainees is not uniform across facilities. In fiscal year 2007, 21 DIHS-staffed facilities provided or arranged for health care for about 53 percent of the average daily population of detainees, while 508 IGSA facilities provided or arranged for health care for the remaining detainees--about 47 percent of the population. Before October 1, 2007, DHS and HHS maintained annual interagency agreements through which DIHS--a component of HHS's Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)--provided health care for ICE detainees. As of that date, the last annual interagency agreement was terminated, and DIHS no longer is a component of HRSA. DHS officials told us that this termination--along with a 2007 Memorandum of Agreement between HHS and DHS that placed PHS officers on detail to DHS on an open-ended basis and that allowed for additional PHS officers to be detailed to DHS in the future--affected 565 direct health care providers and administrative staff. According to DHS officials, ICE now has a component known as DIHS which provides health care services to detainees. We also found that although ICE's health care data are not complete, the available data on health care spending, staffing, and services provided generally showed growth in all three areas. For instance, from fiscal year 2003 through fiscal year 2007, reported expenditures for medical claims and program operations increased by 47 percent, while the average daily population of detainees increased by about 40 percent. However, ICE facilities do not use standardized record keeping, and are not required to routinely report data to DHS on the health care services provided to detainees. Furthermore, data were not available on the detainee health expenditures that are incurred by IGSAs. In addition, we determined that ICE's mortality rate cannot be directly compared with BOP's or USMS's mortality rate. This is due to differences in the three agencies' health care goals and scopes of services, as well as to demographic differences among the ICE, BOP, and USMS detainee populations. Based on our work, we have identified a number of issues that may merit further assessment in the $2 million external study that ICE was directed to fund. These include: (1) ICE's ability to access detainee population data that measure unique individuals in ICE custody, rather than the average number of beds used; (2) Reporting relationships between DIHS and ICE; (3) IGSA reporting requirements--including the frequency of reporting on health care services provided to detainees and the format in which health records are maintained; (4) ICE's ability to routinely ensure the transfer of medical records when detainees are transferred between facilities; (5) ICE's ability to identify and report the detainee health care costs incurred by IGSAs; and (6) ICE's ability to identify and report medical claims expenditures by facility type--such as for all IGSAs.

Breastfeeding Moms

just to let you know that by choice (my mum helped me decide - my choice but she helped me) - cause noah is biting me I might as well stop breastfeeding. and he isnt keen on cow milk so we wont worry about that.
he be just having squash, juice and water.
so I will leave the group as I know you will judge me but i thought you would like to know what I'm gonna do. but thanks for the advices
Kudos to making it to almost one. :) If baby's not going to be getting breastmilk anymore he'll need something else to provide him with protein, fats and calcium.
Avocado, soft cheeses (mozzarella), yogurt, beans, meats, etc. are all great a one year old. My daughter is almost 10 months and she eats all of those things already.
No judgement against you, although I'd personally look into ways to stop the biting if he's a picky eater who won't be getting his nutrition elsewhere. :)

Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a flavorful, sweet herb that has been used for thousands of years and is still one of the most widely used herbs in all herbal systems. Licorice has been used traditionally to support the skin and the liver. It also is thought by herbalists to help soothe indigestion and the throat.
Cardamom seed is a uniquely flavored culinary herb in the ginger family. But cardamom seed is more than its delicious flavor. This herb is warming and has been traditionally used to support healthy stomach and digestive function as well as the respiratory system.
Botanically-speaking, fennel seeds are not seeds, but are the fruits of the sweet fennel plant, an herb that has been cultivated for culinary and medicinal use for thousands of years. In India, fennel seeds are routinely chewed after meals to support digestion and to act as an herbal mouth freshener.
Coriander seed is not just a delicious spice used in cooking. According to Ayurveda, the seeds can support the urinary tract and can help soothe the stomach.
Barley Malt is a natural sweetener made by malting barley grains. During the malting process, the grains produce maltose, a unique type of sugar. The sweetener has a distinctive flavor and a distinguishing rich, dark color.
Peppermint is a perennial plant that produces light purple flowers and green leaves with serrated edges. Commonly used as a flavoring in products such as candy, chewing gum, toothpaste, and ice cream, peppermint also has been used traditionally to cool the body by promoting sweating, which can help support the respiratory system. Peppermint has also been widely used to support digestion and to soothe an occasional minor upset stomach.
Ginger Root, the underground stem, or rhizome, of the plant Zingiber officinale, has been used in many herbal traditions since ancient times. In Ayurveda, ginger is known as the wonder herb, and it's no wonder, since Ayurveda uses ginger for a wide variety of conditions, including supporting digestion. Historically, ginger root was one of the most respected herbs for supporting joint health. Ginger has also been traditionally used to support healthy peripheral circulation, so it can help warm up cold hands and feet, and will also promote sweating when that is needed.
Not only is Black Pepper one of the most widely used culinary spices in the world, it also has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine. A spicy herb that can help support digestion, it also supplies antioxidants, which can help to reduce free radicals. As a diuretic, black pepper can support water balance in the body.
Bring water to boiling and steep 5 to 10 minutes. For a stronger tea, use 2 tea bags. To support healthy digestion, drink a cup with your meal and repeat 15 to 20 minutes afterward.*

In video game history there has never been an Add on that has sold well, this HD an network adaptor in my opinion will crash an burn like the dreamcast. Why pay over 150 bucks just to surf the net an play online. what Sony need to do is bundle the PS2 with Harddrive an Network adaptor an sell it for 299, but drop the price to the 3001-R models that are in stores now to $199 but in turn that leaves most of their game market without the HD an network adaptor, leaving all of u guys to go an buy either a bundled PS2 or HD an network adaptor...... there are so many factors that is stopping sony from make this online thing happen.

I think Obama has truly showed poise and dignity when asked a question. McCain lacks composure and respect. He certainly seems wreckless when he chose Palin as his running mate!!!! He is very bitter and would certainly make me nervous a president of the United States. We need someone who can inspire America, who is intelligent, makes good decisions, and who would certainly look out for middle income family. That is why my vote is for Obama. Obama 08!!!!!
Dear Red States,
Yes, we do think you are all ignorant rednecks.
Blue States
Denunciation of Obama and the implied racial implications would suggest that the McCain camp trying to Distract voters from the real issues like the economy and healthcare. The derogatory statements made by Palin are inflammatory. If you read between the lines Palin is promoting racism. To demean and demoralize a presidential candidate to this degree is not acceptable.
I love how McCain supporters are citing Barack's lack of experience as a reason to back McCain.
I'm sorry, but you've got a woman on your ticket who can't even name a written source she uses to stay on top of the issues. She can barely form a coherent sentence without some serious coaching and practice. Isn't your argument of Barack's inexperience a bit ridiculous when you look at her vacant stare?
I would love to open a ticket for:::NONE OF THE ABOVE.
These two characters are a joke... What happened to candidates who actually cared about the American People???MCCain looks like he just had wisdom tooth surgery and talks like that. Obama looks like a scared child answering a superior...(Who is not his superior). Can we, as people in America, have a decent candidate run for our MOST prestigious office, that does not look like an uniformed lost little girl being politically correct, after having oral surgery!!!
Obama handled himself really well when the issue was mentioned-Got back to the issues!
Why is McCain so negative? Do we really want a President that is that angry and mentally unstable. It appears that McCain has no ideas about how to change anything, he is just negative and disgruntled!
And what is with his odd faces he keeps making. It looks as if he is gearing up to show us all just how unstable he is! He blinks enough for all of us watching too...a clear example of lies, and uncertainty~
Roland is right! Watch McShame in the debt – he is an idiot and acting like an fool, watch his body and facial movements. McSame thinks he is winning up guess again! Oh and to all the Mcdiots who support McSame – you will need a crying towel on November 4th.
McCain is sp petty. If people do not see him for what he really is, then we will definitely be in a mell of hess if people vote for him for Presidents. He is so transparent about his pettiness is evident. He is ticked off because Barack Obama has raised more money by middle America supporting change. He is ticked because Middle America is about supporting someone that is for them and not for their own selfish motives. Stick to the issues and tell us what we need to hear. McCain is a spoiled rotten child in the playground that is not getting his way. I am appalled at the smugness of his air on the debate as he watches Barack's answer the questions, he is so very petty. I am one that will do all that I can to see change in this country. John McCain is very very petty.
Have listened to any of the things Obama has said? Obviously you are either hard of hearing or have selective listening so I won't be upset at you for not knowing what you're talking about.
Obama wouldn't even qualify to be his own body guard because of his ties to terrorist. With a midlle name of "Hussien" who do you idiots think your voting for ??? The man won't even cover his heart during our countries song. You liberals will never change. Obama had only been in the senate for 143 days when he started to THINK about the presidency. 143 days of leadership is what you voting for and a professinal BS con man. Not saying McCain is much better but at least he has SUM experiance. Have a great evening and I love this country. May we all stand behid our next president whoever it may be
So Nikki......you therefore didn't vote for George Bush by any chance, who dodged military service..............where is Sarah Palin's military experience, since there is a good likelihood that McCain won't live out his term ! Get real!
McCain is pathetic!!! Obama will come out on top! Obama/Biden 08/12
It is about time, we tell John Mccain we are all so sorry for him and his scars, but the negative campaigning is beginning to scar all of us.
Barack Obama will NOT raise taxes on 95% of us... we all get it......why can't John Mccain. He said Barack was ready ro measure the drapes, but after tonites debate I think "joe the plumber" is going to be asked to change out the bathroom fixtures.
Actually, the reason the president is the Commander-in-Chief is so that there is CIVILIAN control of the military. Read a history book.
WOW I am like a little Joe the plummer and not feeling like giving all of my money to OBAMA. WHAT A HORRIBLE Plan to take away money from small business....
McCain got my vote on this debate! TO all the JOE's out there we need to stand up against OBAMA and vote McCain!!!!
From now on it is NOBAMA for me!!!!!!!
Palin ??? How scarey....
When the conversation turns to Radical Religions,forget Islam, Palins Pentecostal upbringing will ALWAYS affect her decisions.
She aligns herself with seccesionists in Alaska, abuses her power as a Governor, apparently knows nothing about birth control, hands her youngest off to her daughter, NOT her husband, and states she wants to deny any woman the right to control her own body.
Funny, I've never heard her speak up for womens rights in her short, limited political avocation.
Yet some folks believe she is qualified to be VP ?
Hilarious !!!
McCain really likes to talk to Joe the Plumber, what about the American people?
It is very clear that McCain's approach to everything is reactive. Wait til you have a problem and then react in extreme fashion. Obama is proactive; he thinks ahead and understands how to speak up ahead of time, and respond when the need arises, but in a very calm, calculated way. McCain follows his panic, fear and anger.
This is the temperament issue that makes McCain unqualified.
The other is that McCain, even though he's been adequately repudiated, he still misrepresents and maintains his failed point. This is the definition of a buffoon.
McClumsy and McFailin' are the riskiest choice...if you want to be afraid of something, that's the problem. But, let's not worry about that; let's vote for the truly apt and qualified, O & Joe, and get this country back on track!
Roland, I really appreciate hearing your viewpoints. It's great to see somebody truly speak their mind...and make sense at the same time. Jesus bless you, man!
McCain has never had to look for private health insurance, neither did his dad or grandfather. What does he know about joe the plumber's situation!
Sorry, McCain, Palin will never be a role model for me or my daughters. Wink wink. btw, how does anyone take someone seriously when they are smiling and giving the American public a wink and a smile.
Roland ! Please can you do me the dance you did at the democratic convention? I will dance along at home here in Japan!I will be waiting.
If Obama wins, we will have a lying monkey for president.
Tonight Mccain is not getting it. I don't understand why he keeps going back and forth.

installed untill download the map all okay no blocked...
but, when i start search or click gas station, its always "unfortunately stop"
why? can somebody help?
First install an original (v1.7/1.8/1.8.1) or the APK (1.9 at the moment) from Play-Store, start the app, close the app, de-install the app. Then install the cracked v1.9 (or if failed an v1.8.2/1.8.1/1.8), not start the app!, shut down device, start device, open the app, download maps/voices.
But i can't see an India-map for download in TT-Go v1.9....(NoteII, Android 4.4.2)

Not a good place for any statements, the next forum crash is coming soon
@ Alfred_ML and dinesh,
If one takes the time to search you will see on the TomTom website there is no maps of India.
No Map of India..........
Spoiler: link
All I ever do is "Google it" and you can find all types of info out there.

TomTom doesnt work with Android N Preview. Some libs are missing
Dear to all, it's obligatory download the map from the apk or it's also possible add manually the maps into micro sd?

I have a feeling this Galaxy team with all the new players puts them as best in the west heading into the playoff run.
The west is a weak conference as is...and the Galaxy have played far less games then conference leading dallas. If you hypothetically say the Galaxy win all their games in hand they would be atop the conference right now.
The scary thing is that all of their big guns are in form.
Donovan and Becks are playing at such a high level as did Pavon in the gold cup and Xavier looks to be heating up.
This is going to be an exciting run at the west for the Gals. - June 21, 2007 at 11:11 AM

"WINE"-ding on Down the Road
Trip Start
Jun 24, 2010
Trip End
May 18, 2011
Where I stayed
Tuscan Inn at Fisherman's Wharf
However….... there's still a "tad bit more" of this planet to be explored, and I'm guessin' that every turn in the road is gonna present an amazing unique "best of" adventure (and considering we're only five days into this journey, the concept of "best of" is an appreciative enthusiastic response, even if it is perhaps just a bit premature in its comparative value…….can you tell we're really liking pretty much everything that's happening????? ;-).
We continued our journey down the outrageously gorgeous Hwy. 1, eventually turning eastward cutting over through the northern reaches of the infamous Napa/Sonoma/Mendocino wine country. The still-winding narrow two-lane road that we chose to travel led us through the much more remote (and much less touristy) area of wine country than the popular Napa Valley circuit a little further south. But equal in beauty, this slow-slow-sloooooooooooow drive from the coast inland is dotted on either side with countless rows and rows and rows of undulating grape fields lining the endless fertile hills and valleys. And of course, nearly every one of the wineries along the way has a sign out near the road that politely beckons you to stop in with the enticing invitation of "sampling all day". If you were so inclined, you could literally spend days doing a "wine crawl" through this region of the country (we're thinking that our "wine-y" friends David and Ron back home are pretty much drooling in their shoes at the mere thought of where we are right now!). And to set the tone of the whole Wine Region experience, we passed a small eye-catching road sign that succinctly summed up the beauty of the brew: "wine is bottled poetry". I don't think they're referring to limericks though……………….. ;-)
Once we drove on into the more trendy Napa Valley region, we couldn't help but stop at our favorite little winery that we discovered when we toured through here many years ago. I'm sure that most any of the wineries around here have their own unique offerings to draw you in, but V. Sattui winery has that little special something that keeps us coming back for a much-anticipated visit whenever we're in this neck-o-the-woods (bringing back fond memories, Cory & Kellie???? ;-). Anyhoo, after a very refreshing "treat" on the tree-shaded lawn on the winery grounds, it was time to forge on to the big city.
Today's Travel Trivia: in our hopeful effort to avoid as many freeways as we can and still keep up with our proposed itinerary, we drove on our first stretch of freeway today for the first time since arriving in Salem OR last Thursday! We hit it shortly before approaching the Golden Gate bridge on our way into San Francisco. Not bad after 5 days of driving!
We decided to splurge just a little bit in the big city, so ended up getting a motel right down near Fisherman's Wharf where we would be near the major sites we wanted to explore during our short stay here. Our first foray into the culture of San Francisco was to hop aboard the iconic cable cars. The kids were understandably thrilled with the insistence from Dad that we ride "side saddle" on the outside runners of the cable car (if you're gonna do it, you might as well do it to the hilt!). So up and down those famous hills we went, aboard the jingle-jangle bell-ringing rickety cross-track ride, hanging on mightily to the well-worn grab bars that kept us "on track"! Then it was a quick jump-off in the middle of the line when the unanimous family decision was made to have dinner in the only area that seemed truly appropriate for us and our adventure: Chinatown! A wonderful little out-of-the-way below-street restaurant ended up being a great find! We walked away with our bellies pleasantly plump! That'll make for happy sleep tonight! ;-)

Another reason why Berlin is great is because people pass through here. I have overlapped with so many people coming from Western Europe, leaving back to the states, here and there. They fly into my life and then back out, but I am the better for all those long or short encounters. Sadly the trade winds almost never blow through Slovenia. I am hoping my being in Slovenia will produce an adequate magnetic force to pull more interesting and fun people from around the world in and around...I need them, Slovenia needs them.
Here are some of my latest photos.
Hackescher Markt
Weinmeister Strasse
beautiful food at the Brazilian restaurant
the place to go for the best of the wurst (curry wurst is wretched, one of the worst things to ever cross my lips)
Charlottenburg is garden-y and bourgeois. Like the Park Slope of Berlin
a mysterious installation at rosa luxembourg platz
international vat of mystery at the Kreukolln Turkish market
it's been coming up fluffy Simpsons clouds like every day
quite possibly the best doner in town. yum!
this is criminal
Potsdamer Platz
P.S. In an effort to minimize my tinges of homesickness, I've been listening to Radio Student all morning. Thank God for internet radio!
P.P.S. This place is incredible but I kinda feel like my eyes and brain need a break. Trying to cultivate a napping habit.

Farewell to a great man
I don't really have much to add to what I wrote back then, but Pete passed away earlier this week, and I couldn't let that go by without trying to add a few words.
He lived to age 84, was married to the lovely Lucille for 61 years, and really lived a remarkable life. A gifted athlete, he was signed by the New York Yankees and pitched in their minor league system for a time. He served in the Marine Corps during the Korean War, and the same year I was born - 1956 - he became a history teacher in my hometown of Princeton.
As I wrote a year ago, our mutual love of history and sports helped us bond and he became more than simply a teacher; He was a genuine friend and mentor who helped my get my career as a sportswriter off the ground. He did play-by-play for the local radio station, and took me under his wing, first as a stat guy, and later as his color man, and we did broadcasts together across Minnesota, from Braham to Bloomington to New Ulm. I remember traveling many of those miles in his classic Ford Country Squire station wagon, listening to story after story after story and receiving a graduate-level education in sports history.
Later in life, he and Lucille took teaching jobs in Hawaii, and he served as a volunteer tour guide at Pearl Harbor, a site he loved and knew more about than almost anyone. I can only imagine what a treat it must have been for a tourist to get him as a guide.
They retired to Rochester, where he passed away Monday. He had been ravaged by Alzheimer's in recent years, and it was just a month or so ago that I asked his daughter, Pam, about coming down to visit him. She gracefully encouraged me NOT to do so, because the disease had taken such a toll on him, and she said I'd be better off remembering him in earlier times. I heeded her advice, but still feel badly about not getting a chance for a final good-bye.
Pam posted the news of his passing on Facebook, and it's a tribute to Pete's popularity that more than 80 people have left comments. What struck me reading the comments was this: While I feel fortunate and special to have had him as a friend, there are countless fellow Princeton grads who feel the same way. He taught history with a genuine passion, and thousands of us passed through his classroom and were touched by that passion.
Pete's family donated his body to Mayo's Alzheimer's research center, so even in death, he will continue to teach.
Farewell, my friend, and rest knowing that you leave behind many, many people who feel that their lives were made better by knowing you.

Thank you for this wonderful tribute Tim. He will always be Mr. Finelli to me. I too was one of his PHS history pupils, class of '71.

What a great picture of him. Thank you for sharing. I didn't have him for a teacher, I did know Pammy through my sister when they were younger. Also I knew Peter through my brother Bryan and listened to him on PBR when I lived in MN. Donating to research is such a wonderful thing to do. We all can have a memorial spot, with out the remains of a empty body. Again Thank you.

I still remember SO MUCH about Pearl Harbor and the JFK assassination, etc..t was S fun t learn in h9is class....He used t sneak aroud and peek through a little "peephole"{ to see if we were minding....Truly one of the Great, giving, Sincere teachers that had a PASSION for what they did....
--Kris Fairchild/Cedar Rapids Iowa - AnonymousDecember 13, 2012 at 7:20 PM
Wonder tribute to a wonderful history teacher and all around person. I love history because of my mother and this man. He and my brother Kevin were also quite good friends through spoorts and history.

Save the manuals. Automatics are for lazy/disabled people. When was the last time you heard/seen someone in a manual causing an accident or falling asleep out of boredom while driving a manual? Even buses in other countries are manual! the day I can't have a manual better be due to disability and not unavailability.
Agreed. I learned to drive in a manual car. Went to an auto car, now back to a manual.... Never going back to an auto. Even when im 90yo
First 3 cars were manuals, I've rode motorcycles most of my life...cool story I know.
Bought an 09 2.5i, first auto car I've had. Fast forward 6 agonizing 4EAT months later, and boom 5mt gt. The only time I've looked back it to think how drunk I must have been when I decided to get an auto... |
Oh yeah doc i will have to send ya a few links of her stuff, pretty cool,

That's a good reason to learn, I was tired of not knowing how to so I bought my LGT and figured if I didn't have any other choice I would learn quick :lol:
I have successfully taught two other females to drive stick, a third got the basics, but by far, my sister was challenging. Patience wise. Got to the point I just took her to a hill, parked and told her to get to the top. I kept my left hand on the parking brake The whole time. But she got it.

XMen's basketball
Akron traveled to Eastern Michigan and thumped the hapless Eagles, almost doubling their opponent by a 78-41 count.
The Zips put together their most complete effort, forcing 23 EMU turnovers and shooting 46 percent themselves.
"We're getting good balance," coach Keith Dambrot said on the post-game radio show. "We're getting good bench play. You can see we're getting better. We are shooting the ball better."
Nate Linhart and Darryl Roberts led Akron with 13 points. Linhart also grabbed a team-high seven rebounds.
EMU's best player, Brandon Bowdry, sat most of the game with foul trouble. Because of some garbage-time hoops, he led the Eagles with 12 points. Justin Dobbins snatched 10 rebounds. EMU shot 33 percent from the field.
Akron won its fifth-straight game, moving to 14-8 and 5-3 in the MAC. Buffalo, who leads the MAC, almost lost at home tonight to Central Michigan.
"Pretty soon, if we play well, we have a similar season to what we've had in the past," Dambrot said.
Next up is Western Michigan on Sunday at 2 p.m. I will preview the game on Friday.
Tomorrow is NLI Signing Day. I will cover the event with several posts throughout the day.

Symposium on the Integration of Analysis in Product Design
Integrating analysis with the product design process is one of the most talked about topics in the analysis community today. Software vendors, industrial users, and engineering managers all realize the vital importance of timely integration of analysis in the design process, but the visions, opinions and priorities placed on this can vary from one company to the next.
The reality is that many questions remain unanswered -
What importance do industry leaders place on design integration?
How quickly will we see the transition to a fully-integrated process?
How will the industry handle the obvious challenges now and in the future?
How many other companies are struggling with the options? How are they handling this?
Does the industry know what its users actually want?
In it's role as The International Association for the Engineering Analysis Community, NAFEMS aimed to bring the industry together in order to answer these questions.
The Symposium on the Integration of Analysis in Product Design was the first event of its kind, and provided attendees with a truly unique insight into how the industry is prepared to handle the challenges ahead.
In a roundtable format, industry leaders shared their vision for the future of analysis as an integrated component in product design.
Attendees were given the opportunity to hear directly from the developers how they plan to handle the integration challenges that they will be facing in the coming years. The floor was opened for participants to question, challenge or expand on the plans described by the panelists.
Additionally, attendees were given the opportunity to learn how others facing similar challenges have resolved their integration issues.
The Panel
The panel for the symposium consisted of representatives from major players in the analysis world.
An Introduction to NAFEMS
- Tim Morris - NAFEMS
Design Intregration with ABAQUS
- Bill Brothers - ABAQUS
30 Years of Experience of Integrated CAD & CAE
- May Taylor - UGS
Simulation Fusion for Performance Engineering
- Juan Betts - LMS
ANSYS Workbench: Unparalled Integration
- Ronald Banchak – Belcan
Empowering Design Engineers to Build Better Products with Upfront Validation
- Vince Adams - Solidworks
Integration of Analysis in Product Design
- Dennis Nagy - CD-Adapco
Event Summary
In summary, resulting from the panel discussion, several key points of interest developed. In particular, the main barriers to the integration of analysis within the design process were of interest. Throughout the session, a number of different viewpoints were shared among the attendees.
Several panel members noted that some of the major barriers being dealt with are relative to the accessibility of these new tools, as well as the time and education necessary to use them accurately and efficiently.
One panel member compared this issue to someone driving down the road while trying to change a flat tire – no one is stopping to take the time because a process has not been established to allow a designer to make use of these new tools. When people encounter problems using new tools, they will always go back to what they are most comfortable with.
Another barrier pointed out, was that between the designers and analysts. Typically, there is a lack of communication between these two groups. It was recommended that a form of "checks-and-balances" or collaboration should be set in place. It was also noted by that suppliers of analysis software should work more closely with the users of the software to ensure that there is a good understanding of how to implement and affect a successful process change to appropriately integrate these new tools into the product development process.
Unfortunately, time and money seem to be the primary catalysts for management, but not an optimal one. Why? Because management is seeking a fast return on investment (ROI), and not looking beyond these incentives to explore greater returns such as higher quality parts or innovative designs.
It was also pointed out that if the process is not broken, why fix it. Typical human nature dictates that under stress people will revert to what they know best. The typical design engineering process does not afford one the luxury of having the extra time to introduce a process change. Therefore, introductions of new processes will be slow. There are schedules that must be maintained and it is difficult to introduce a product where you have tight development schedules.
An additional barrier exists as companies become more global. How do you integrate design processes across different cultures and languages? It is too difficult to standardize all data exchanged.
During the symposium, questions arose relative to what aspect of design and analysis integration would have the most impact on the bottom line. One panel member stated that there needs to be access to an optimization method, which will then promote innovation.
How do people optimize if they do not know what they are optimizing? If you do not know the critical parameters which are sensitive to a particular design, it is almost impossible to take advantage of the tools which provide these techniques.
Special thanks go to Vince Adams at SolidWorks for his hard work in ensuring the success of this event.
NAFEMS are delighted to have had the support of the following companies in this event.

TURLOCK — Attorneys for California State University, Stanislaus, have found 899 pages of documents related to Sarah Palin's planned visit to the campus.
A First Amendment group calls the apparent reversal suspicious. The university in early April denied having any records related to the former Republican vice presidential nominee's appearance. After a second public records request, the documents came to light.
"I can't understand how they could have made that rapid and unconditional response," said Terry Francke, director of CalAware, a government watchdog group. "They suggested we ask the foundation."
The university's nonprofit foundation signed the Palin contract, which requires her payment be kept confidential. CalAware has sued the university and the foundation for the contract.
The explanation is simple, said Dawn Theodora, attorney for the CSU system.
The group's first request sought records pertaining to Palin's appearance. The second asked for records pertaining to the gala. Theodora said that would include items such as facility rentals that aren't directly related to Palin.
Also, most of what the university has relates to the media maelstrom that kicked up after Palin's appearance was announced.
"Of the 899 pages I have, 738 of them are dated April 7 or later," Theodora said. "Cal- Aware is trying to make everybody think we withheld 900 records, and that's not the case."
Students said they found several pages of the Palin contract in a university Dumpster on April 9. They turned them and several bags of shredded papers over to Attorney General Jerry Brown's office, which has launched an investigation.
All of the documents the university has are e-mails, so any assertion that records were shredded is false, Theodora said.

Active Snyc Problem I have developed a problem with Active sync. Everything was working great until yesterday and now my pc can not connect with my HTC Touch Diamond. When I dock my phone, my pc's active sync starts automatically but can't connect. I have tried different cables and different computers--soft reset on the phone. When I connect my wife's phone--it connects--also a Touch Diamond. Any suggestions Thanks, JB
Am getting "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client" when I run Troubleshooter for Active Sync. I do have Outlook set as my default mail client. Is this any help.
Another thing I have noticed is that when the phone is docked, it shows up in device manager under network adapters and a windows mobile device.
hey johnnie, i had a similar problem on my touch, its annoying i know. One day i stumbled across the solution, it was somewhere in start, settings, connections, pc to usb, advanced and there was something that sounded really cool like "enhanced networking something bla bla bla" i probably checked it one day and had no idea. but by unchecking it i was able to connect with activesync once again. Give it a try if ya can otherwise good luck
that setting is enabled by default, and on most computers it will work fine that way. but there are some where you need to disable that to get active sync working
are you still getting the msg when you connect usb saying activesync or disk drive.. maybe it is set to drive by default.. check that in your connection settings
