Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are down 43 cents, or 16%, at $2.20 after the company last night reported Q3 revenue and earnings per share that missed analysts' estimates and said it would commence a restructuring involving a 15% cut in staff to save $190 million next year in operating costs.
On a conference call with analysts after the report, CEO Rory Read told the assembled that because of macroeconomic weakness, and a cautious attitude by PC makers in advance of the introduction of Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows 8 a week from today, "We face a very challenging selling environment, especially in the lower end of the consumer client space."
Not only must AMD "build a more efficient operating model," he said, but "we must diversify behind the traditional PC market and become a leader in fast-growing and adjacent markets where we can differentiate and create leadership."
Those areas, said Read, include "cloud computing" infrastructure, video game machines, embedded chip applications, and tablets and a "new breed of entry-level notebooks" that can benefit from AMD's energy-efficient processors.
The Street today is not exactly heartened by those words. The stock today received two downgrades, that I can see, with Bernstein Research's Stacy Rasgon cutting the shares from Outperform to Market Perform, and FBR Capital's Craig Berger doing the same.
The language is fairly blunt from both analysts. Rasgaon writes that "Our last tiny bit of conviction is, at long last, depleted," while Berger is "throwing in the towel."
Writes Rasgon, "We have no further confidence that any aspect of our prior structural thesis (margin accretion, cash flow, and balance sheet deleveraging) will play out in the foreseeable future."
"Indeed, we now see the prospect for structurally lower margins, as well as cash burn [...] Frankly, the most common adjective that comes up when we discuss the company with clients is, simply, 'un-investable.' We are now believers."
Rasgon cut his 2013 estimates to $4.87 billion in revenue and a 41-cent loss per share from a prior estimate for $5.54 billion and a profit of 14 cents.
Berger writes that management has mis-executed, raising the company's potential burn rate, and the laying off of engineers doesn't help:
We now have less confidence in go-forward cash burn given rapidly declining ASPs and management's new refusal to provide gross margin guidance. Thus, we worry about the magnitude of intended pricing cuts and gross margin impacts as AMD's cash bleed could intensify. Further, while we previously assessed cash to be sufficient for the next year, we now see scenarios where AMD may raise cash sooner, particularly with pending GlobalFoundries payments and with 4Q12 sales down a whopping 33% YOY. Further, management's ongoing misexecution in our opinion seems to be contributing too (building too much inventory, firing top operational managers, channel misalignment, withdrawing from broad swaths of the market). Finally, the firm announced 15% head-count reductions, which will make it more
difficult to engineer and sell competitive products.

Is Free Public Wi-Fi Safe?
By Tara Swords
If you work remotely or travel a lot for your job, you probably take advantage of free public Wi-Fi often. Unfortunately, that probably means you're regularly opening up your devices and your data to serious security threats. And if you're a heavy user of cloud services, which often store your data on a remote server rather than your computer, Wi-Fi security is even more crucial.
Most people these days have password-protected networks at home, so it's unlikely that anybody is able to snoop on your data as it passes between your device and your router. But when you're surfing the Web via a free public Wi-Fi at a cafe, library or airport, you should be suspicious of everyone, says technology consultant Leo Notenboom of Ask-Leo.com. "It's trivially easy for any of them to be watching your unencrypted information flying by."
Here's what you need to know to stay safe next time you're surfing on a free public Wi-Fi connection.
Free Public Wi-Fi Tip No. 1: Turn on your firewall.
Free Public Wi-Fi Tip No. 2: Protect your smartphone or tablet.
How do you know when a site offers encryption? Instead of "http" at the beginning of the address, you'll see "https." You'll also see a little padlock icon in your browser window, usually on the bottom right.
What else should you consider encrypting?
"That guy in the corner of Starbucks with his laptop -- do you trust him with your private data?" asks Notenboom. Follow these Wi-Fi safety tips, and you won't ever have to ever wonder.

You'll like... the superb balance of control and high speed performance.
You won't like... having to invest in a quiver of Deboichet fins.
The Starboard iSonic has earned a great reputation in the past, having cleaned up in the 2008 PWA slalom season and also had good success in 2009. iSonics are now available in two constructions, wood or woodcarbon. We tested the latter which has a combination of a carbon deck with a wood base, for the best combination of stiffness and control. For 210 the 111 has new rail designs with a harder release edge and altered cut outs in the tail to achieve a more efficient planing area. The iSonic keeps its rounded off 'low-nose', its tail wingers and wide tail shape. The rocker line is fairly flat and appears unchanged. On the deck, the nose area and around the mast track is concaved with the footstrap area raised to give the most favourable riding position. It also comes with good quality Drake footstraps and minimal but highly effective footpads. The iSonic's are not supplied with fins but they are tested and developed with Deboichet fins, who offer a discount from their website, when you show them a copy of your receipt.
The iSonic 111 offers good stability under foot, thanks to its width and its hull shape which combine effectively to accelerate it quickly up to planing spped. Although well outboard, the footstrps are easy to find and get into. From the footstraps the riding position is superb, the deck shape and dome combined with the straps being right on the rails of the board, puts you in the ideal position to be able to hook your heels over the rail and drive the board hard. You feel very connected to the board and the ride is very exciting. The Starboard gybes easily, whether it's wide fast turns or hard and tight, it deals with anything and despite its width it also remained composed in rougher water.
A superb combination of excitement, control and above all performance. Highly recommended.

Still stinging from his unceremonious ouster from the Garda Siochana-The Guards, Ireland's police force-and staring at the world through the smoky bottom of his beer mug, Jack Taylor is stuck in Galway with nothing to look forward to. In his sober moments Jack aspires to become Ireland's best private investigator, not to mention it's first-Irish history, full of betrayal and espionage, discourages any profession so closely related to informing. But in truth Jack is teetering on the brink of his life's sharpest edges, his memories of the past cutting deep into his soul and his prospects for the future nonexistent.
Nonexistent, that is, until a dazzling woman walks into the bar with a strange request and a rumor about Jack's talent for finding things. Odds are he won't be able to climb off his barstool long enough to get involved with his radiant new client, but when he surprises himself by getting hired, Jack has little idea of what he's getting into.
Stark, violent, sharp, and funny, The Guards is an exceptional novel, one that leaves you stunned and breathless, flipping back to the beginning in a mad dash to find Jack Taylor and enter his world all over again. It's an unforgettable story that's gritty, absorbing, and saturated with the rough-edged rhythms of the Galway streets. Praised by authors and critics around the globe, The Guards heralds the arrival of an essential new novelist in contemporary crime fiction. The Guards is a 2004 Edgar Award Nominee for Best Novel.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
There's something about the job that leads (fictional) cops and PIs to drink, which is why booze always seems to be a minor character in the genre. This is certainly the case in Ken Bruen's debut thriller about melancholy Irishman Jack Taylor, whose luck at finding things keeps him in beer money after he's kicked out of Ireland's Garda Siochna. When the mother of a young suicide victim asks him to investigate her daughter's death, Taylor discovers that Sarah Henderson isn't the only teenager to take a long walk off a short Galway pier. His search for the perpetrator gets his best friend killed, destroys his nascent relationship with his client, and sets him up for a final betrayal few readers will see coming. This promising writer doesn't need all the tricky punctuation and excess quotations from other writers to punch up his sharp, lyrical prose, but these are minor quibbles--he's a newcomer to watch. --Jane AdamsFrom the Back Cover:
Advance Praise for Ken Bruen and The Guards
" The Guards blew me away. It's dark, funny, and moving—just for starters. With a sharp eye and a lyrical voice, Ken Bruen takes us on a powerful odyssey through the mean streets of Galway, straight into the Irish heart. Bruen's tale is a potent draft of desire and hopelessness, conviction and surrender, inadvertent heroism and unexpected grace. This is mystery writing of a high order."—T. Jefferson Parker, author of Black Water and Silent Joe
" The Guards is a wonderful book, wrenching and real, fast, funny and wise in every sense. Why the hell haven't I heard of Ken Bruen before? He's a terrific writer and The Guards is one of the most mesmerizing works of crime fiction I've ever read. I'm going to read the rest of his work now, so don't bother me for a while. And when he's got a new one, send it to me quick. This guy is the real thing."—James W. Hall, author of Blackwater Sound
" The Guards is raw, hard, bitter, and amazing. It's got that ancient feel to it, as of a primal story being retold with a fine, careless Irish swagger. It's as if Bruen made up his mind to tell us this story whether we wanted to hear it or not. Oh, we do. For sure."—Jon A. Jackson, author of Badger Games
" The Guards is an astounding novel, a poetic account of a desperation as deep and cold as the North Sea, retribution, and resurrection. It's so good I can't think of it as a crime novel. It's a fine book with some crimes."—James Crumley, author of The Final Country
" The Guards is a pint and a half of perfect book. Make it this year's specialty of the house."—Boston Teran, author of The Prince of Deadly Weapons
" The Guards kicked my ass—it's up there with the best. If Elmore Leonard got together with James Joyce to write a Spencer novel, this is what you'd get!"—David Means, author of Assorted Fire Events

Microwave Danger 2/25/13
Many of these fires are the result of human error.
But a new Consumer Reports investigation reveals some are caused by the appliances themselves.
That's today's On Your Side.
The Queen Anne High School condominiums are in a lovely, landmarked building. But tenant Joe Lyons is afraid for his safety. The condo board says he's one of ten residents who've reported KitchenAid microwaves that have started on their own, and in at least one case caused electrical arcing. Joe Lyons "I feel unsafe, especially when I heard the stories around the building of the sparking being so intense it sounded similar to fireworks." These photos are the aftermath of a fire in a Florida home that started in a microwave that was not in use, according to the official fire report. Both incidents, reported to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, involved the same microwave - KitchenAid model KHMS-155-LSS. Consumer Reports looked at thousands of pages of C-P-S-C documents in its investigation of appliance fires, including many obtained through its Freedom of Information Act requests. "41 of the CPSC reports involved KitchenAid microwaves that turned on by themselves, some causing fires." Consumer Reports also examined 82 similar reports involving some GE microwaves, six of which involved serious fires. Dan DiClerico "The reports listed various models, but 30 complaints involved the GE Spacemaker line of over-the-range microwave." None of those microwaves has been recalled. And the problem is not limited to these two manufacturers. The Consumer Product Safety Commission told Consumer Reports it has "an open investigation into the safety of kitchen appliances, including microwaves." If you have a problem with your microwave, unplug it and get a technician in to look at it. And it's a good idea to know which circuit breaker turns off the microwave in case of an emergency.
If you're experiencing a problem with any appliance, Consumer Reports says notify the manufacturer immediately.
And report the problem to saferproducts.gov.
For more details on Consumer Reports' investigation into appliance fires, go to Consumer Reports website."Whirlpool, the maker of one of the microwaves cited in our report, is now acknowledging its microwave --- the KitchenAid KHMS155LSS --- can malfunction and the company is offering free repairs to owners.

I am your Puppy, and I will love you until the end of the Earth, but please know a few things about me.
I am a Puppy, this means that my intelligence and capacity for learning are the same as an 8-month-old child.
I am a Puppy, hopefully you would not yell, hit, strike, kick or beat a 6-month-old human infant, so please do not do the same to me. I am delicate, and also very impressionable. If you treat me harshly now, I will grow up learning to fear being hit, spanked, kicked or beat. Instead, please guide me with encouragement and wisdom. For instance, if I am chewing something wrong, say, "No chew!" and hand me a toy I CAN chew. Better yet, pick up ANYTHING that you do not want me to get into. I can't tell the difference between your old sock and your new sock, or an old sneaker and your $200 Nikes. Puppy
I am a Puppy, and I am a creature with feelings and drives much like your own, but yet also very different. Although I am NOT a human in a dog suit, neither am I an unfeeling robot who can instantly obey your every whim. I truly DO want to please you, and be a part of your family, and your life. You got me (I hope) because you want a loving partner and companion, so do not relegate me to the backyard when I get bigger. Do not judge me harshly but instead mold me with gentleness and guidelines and training into the kind of family member you want me to be.
I am a Puppy and I am not perfect, and I know you are not perfect either. I love you anyway. So please, learn all you can about training, and puppy behaviors and caring for me from your Veterinarian, books on dog care and even researching on the computer! Learn about my particular breed and it's characteristics, it will give you understanding and insight into WHY I do all the things I do. Please teach me with love, patience, the right way to behave and socialize me with training in a puppy class or obedience class, we will BOTH have a lot of fun together.
I am a Puppy and I want more than anything to love you, to be with you, and to please you. Won't you please take time to understand how I work? We are the same you and I, in that we both feel hunger, pain, thirst, discomfort, fear, but yet we are also very different and must work to understand one another's language, body signals, wants and needs. Someday I will be a handsome dog, hopefully one you can be proud of and one that you will love as much as I love you.

ChildFund Regional Sponsorship Coordinator
Americas Regional Office
This week marks my fifth anniversary working for ChildFund.
Because I was born in an ambulance on the way to the hospital in the middle of a blizzard in upstate New York, I joke that this was a testament to my nomadic nature from the get-go.
From there I grew up in rural south Florida, attended high school in Brazil and college in Tennessee. Work took me to Miami Beach, Washington, D.C., and then to Richmond, Va., where I started with ChildFund five years ago. Most recently I relocated to ChildFund's Americas Regional Office in Panama.
So at the five-year mark with ChildFund, here are my reflections:
As I plan next year's strategic priorities and budget, I wanted to take time to celebrate the last five years and all that I have seen and experienced as a ChildFund employee and as a representative of the goodwill and support of our generous sponsors.
Visit ChildFund's Facebook site to see Nicole's "Faces and Places of ChildFund" retrospective photo album.

I came up Poor, constantly holding on by a thread as a young child. Parents were able to hold on got lucky and were out of poverty by the time I started middle school.
But I will never forget the arguments of choosing detergent to have clean clothes for work and school vs walking over an hour everyday to get to work that week. The understanding that one more unfortunate thing and my family would be crippled is more than enough to never disparage someone for giving up under oppressive circumstances.
Your kind won't even have slightest understanding of what you just read and that's fine by me.
They should get rid of LSU, "the charity" system all together b/c it is run so inefficiently. All private hospitals/clinics should then split the burden of taking care of those patients. Things would be run in a more cost effective way that way.
Quick, you better contact Skanska/Mapp. They're working on a huge project right now for LSUHSC. And by huge, I mean a square block of downtown NOLA.
They should get rid of LSU, "the charity" system all together b/c it is run so inefficiently. All private hospitals/clinics should then split the burden of taking care of those patients. Things would be run in a more cost effective way that way.
I love my state, and the people in it, but sometimes you stupid motherfrickers can't see the forest for the trees and become the most ignorant dumb asses when group think kicks in. We see that mentality every day on the rant, why do we need those rantards running the state.
"private" teaching hospitals.
This quote so perfectly sums up the born on 3rd but thinks they hit a triple mentality. I know you would crumble under the slightest bit of adversity.
You don't really believe all of this do you?
If so, I pray for you and everyone you interact with.
many people do. Rather sad
bdevill I saw a girl's post on her facebook page today, that the shoulder surgery she was scheduled for has been indefinitely postponed because of this. So now she can't work, she'll get on financial assistance and stay on morphine until she can get her surgery scheduled. Kinda F-ed
Yeah, a private company is going to take care of the mentally handicapped. Sounds like a great business model. I read a lot of stupid stuff on here but that takes the cake.
Jindal shutting down LSU hospital system in order to privatize it
Once again. What private patient would voluntarily let themselves get operated on/treated by a first time intern and resident?
Sounds like med students might have to pay for the opportunity to learn.
i am ok with cutting services to cut spending because you dont have the funds to pay the services, but do people actually believe that if you can fire public employees and hire a private company to provide the same services at a lower cost?
can someone give me a summary of how this will affect med school students, residents, etc
There are many potential consequences.
- Having fewer beds means having fewer cases available for training at any moment. That means less time and variety of exposure for training. It also means less hands on experience with various techniques and procedures. This has already effected medical students. They get much less hands-on experience during their surgery rotations especially, and there are far fewer medical rounds being conducted for second year students than the administration would like.
- Public-private partnerships move a lot of patients that would otherwise be in a public hospital into private hospitals. Private hospitals are much more risk averse, and will limit their exposure and liability by limiting the amount of hands-on experience for medical students.
- Reduction in funding will mean the outright elimination of residency positions.
The only way to learn in medicine is by doing, and these cuts are threatening to produce medical professionals that are not adequately trained.

my responses in purple....and if your political predictions are anything like your sports predictions then you probably are wrongI think that most of the people know that Obama is racist and a socialist.(marxist) But, after 8 years of Bush the Repubs lost a lot of credibility and the majority wanted anyone but another GOP President.Agree That and the Repubs are a very small minority with their social ideas.very debateable, statistics would prove otherwise I also think that there is information in his school recordes that would sink his bid for reelection and am surprised that Romney didn't ask for that to be released when he released his 2010 tax return. Dont be too sure that wont be a comeback if BHO brings the income tax returns topic out during the debates,notice how the rhetoric has died down about his income tax returns , they got the traction they wanted out of it, had nothing to do with the returns itself, they just wanted to portray Romney as a shady figure with something to hide..
On the surface, Obama looks like the guy that can get the job done because most voters are passive when it comes to politics. 99% of Americans pay zero attention to Fox News or Rush Limbaugh. (the ratings would prove you wrong on that) Add that the Repubs have done a poor job of reconnecting with America hanging onto a Draconian political platform. only to you, if anything the Repubs have seemed to have drifted to a more moderate stance from what was their core principles, IMO its one of the things that has gotten them into trouble, if they had stayed with Reaganesque type principles instead of going with the moderates like GWB-McCain then they would show a greater contrast to the D's I don't think it will be pretty come November 6th. I really hope I am wrong!

- Description
I see a lot of pumpkins sprouting up on gigapan.org lately. It must have something to do with the season. They are all nice, but as you can see, Ioka Valley Farms near Hancock Massachusetts is a great place to find your perfect pumpkin.
In this photo you can see how the farmer made the search for the perfect a little easier. Behind the neat rows of jack-o-lanterns-to-be are the cornfields and the corn maze.
There is a lot of orange in this image. Even the hay wagon that takes pumpkin-hunters to the pumpkin field is dressed in autumn colors.
Look around the hills for an alternate energy source and for some nice fall foliage. Have a good time exploring this little bit of the Berkshires.

Jeff, just saw your message. Glad to hear you had a great trip. I don't know John Blackbird. I am a member of Pin Oak HRC. Touch base next year and maybe we can get together and kill a drake!
Paul- I see your from Pocahontas, AR. I hunted DD in mid January for the first time. You have a special place there! Met some great local folks and can't wait until next year. Been coming to AR for about 14 yrs now. I'm from MN. Do you happen to know John Blackbird? John's pretty active in the hunt test game. I bought a dog from John a couple years ago.

What is a corneal ulcer?
The cornea is the clear, shiny membrane, which makes up the surface of the eyeball. It is much like a clear window. To understand a corneal ulcer, you must first understand how the cornea is constructed.
The cornea is comprised of three layers. The most superficial layer is the epithelium. Actually, this layer is comprised of many, very thin layers of cells. Below the epithelium is the stroma, and the deepest layer is Descemet's membrane. Because all of these layers are clear, it is not possible to see them without special stains and a microscope.
An erosion through a few layers of the epithelium is called a corneal erosion or a corneal abrasion. A corneal ulcer is an erosion through the entire epithelium and into the stroma. If the erosion goes through the epithelium and stroma to the level of Descemet's membrane, a descemetocele exists. If Descemet's membrane ruptures, the liquid inside the eyeball leaks out and the eye collapses.
How does a corneal ulcer occur?
There are several causes for corneal ulcers in dogs. The most common is trauma. An ulcer may result from blunt trauma, such as a dog rubbing its eye on carpet, or due to a laceration, such as a cat scratch. The second most common cause is chemical burn of the cornea. This may happen when irritating shampoo or dip gets in the eye.
Less common causes of corneal ulcers include bacterial infections, viral infections, and other diseases. These may originate in the eye or develop secondary to disease elsewhere in the body. Examples of other diseases include Epithelial Dystrophy (a softening of the cornea which is inherited in breeds such as the Boxer), Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca (drying of the cornea due to abnormal tear formation), and diseases of the endocrine system (diabetes mellitus, hyperadrenocorticism, and hypothyroidism).
How does a corneal ulcer affect my dog?
A corneal ulcer is very painful. In response to pain, most dogs rub the affected eye with a foot or on the carpet. To protect the eye, they keep the lids tightly closed. Occasionally, there will be a discharge that collects in the corner of the eye or runs down the face.
How is a corneal ulcer diagnosed?

Reviews for this host's other properties
An amazing apartment! Everything you could possibly need is there and it is comfortable and stylishly decorated. The location was perfect for us! Easy to travel to the centre and plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Andy was fantastic at communicating quickly prior to and during our stay. He gave us lots of very useful information and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great holiday. I can highly recommend everything about this apartment and we will definitely be returning.
Andrew was a great host. The flat was consistent with the photos and description, clean, very well equiped and well located - just a perfect place to stay in Prague.
Thank you very much for your hospitality Andrew!
The apartment is amazing. It really answer at all my needs and expectations.
Location: 3 minutes walking from Ceskomoravska metro station, 1 Minute walking from Divadlo Gong tram stop. The building is in a quiet, clean, and full of green quartier. In two minutes of walk i can reach a mall in which i can find everything like an hypermarket and lots of shops for everything. There are also small markets and restaurants on the road from tram and metro station to the apartment.
Apartment: The apartment is big, more than cozy and with a nice warm...the kitchenette is fully equipped with everything who love to cook like me needs. The lounge area is simply amazing with space tho relax yourself with a big sofa and an armchair. Bathroom is really comfortable with a nice shower, and the bedroom is big with two double bed. The light in the whole apartment is amazing thanks to two big balcony windows. There is a terrace with some nice plants and a table with chairs to enjoy more warm weather. In 4 days i never heard noises from neighbors.
Andrew: I think Andrew is really a special person, really kind and patient (he waited 2 hours for me for a plane delay :D). He really worry about the fact that the guest has everything clear about the apartment, the displacements in the city and the area of the apartment, he is totally available for any clarification about Prague. He gives me a nice map of Prague and he shows me all the best things to see giving me advice for everything.
So i think the final evaluation is more than ten....if i will come back in Prague i will have no doubt, i will always choose Andrew's wonderful flat.
Thank you for everything
superschöne Wohnung, zentrumsnah, leise und sehr, sehr netter eigentümer, alles bestens!!
tutto perfetto. host molto disponibile e preciso. sicuramente lo consiglio.
Leuk appartement, gelegen in een rustige straat en toch op loopafstand van het centrum en de burcht.
Niet vergeten om handdoeken mee te nemen want in het appartement ligt maar 1 handdoek per persoon.
Verder is alles aanwezig.
Ha sido marivilloso pasar estos días en Praga y un acierto elegir este INCREIBLE apartamento. Lo tiene todo: localización, limpieza es espacioso, todo el menaje que necesites,... y además un anfitrión de 10.
Gracias por todo Andy. Volveremos.
Schönes, großzügiges und sauberes Appartement mit hübscher Terrasse in nettem Viertel mit guter Verkehrsanbindung und funktionierendem WLAN.
Die Organisation und Kommunikation war super: Andrew war sehr hilfsbereit (u.a. günstige Taxibuchung) und stets ansprechbar.
Fazit: uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert!
Sauber. Sehr freundlich. Top Lage. Nur zu empfehlen.
Schöne große Wohnung in guter Lage. Dazu noch freundliche und unkomplizierte Vermieter, was will man mehr.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
One of the owners was born in Japan, the other in America, and they've collaborated to produce the crispy fried chicken at EN Japanese Brasserie. Ever since Yanks occupied the vanquished empire—and introduced fried chicken and mayonnaise, among other American specialties—the Japanese have been studying how to make the best fried chicken. Employing a mild soy marinade, and not neglecting dark meat or sinew, the cooks at EN take amorphous small pieces of chicken, bread them lightly, and fry them in very fresh oil. My heart still skips a beat when the basket of chicken pieces appears in the hands of my waiter.
This doesn't mean I'm forsaking my first love, Katz's pastrami, but the smoked-meat sandwich at Mile End is denser, redder, and offered in a sandwich that's just the right size for one person to eat, which means I don't have to go around looking for someone to share it with me. Spread mustard on it and add a sour pickle, and I'm in culinary nirvana. The cute and cozy premises of this Boerum Hill newcomer is another plus.
A haystack of glistening vegetables sat before me: bright green garlic chives, pungent Chinese celery, carrots, woodsy mushrooms, onions, matchsticks of fried purple taro, and onions, all of it surmounted by the snap, crackle, and pop of crispy lo mein noodles. There wasn't a smidgen of meat, poultry, or fish anywhere to be found in the Farmer Special at Yee Kee H.K. Style. This unreconstructed empire of crunch at once telegraphs not only the poverty of a Chinese farmer's life, but also its vegetable bounty—in a way I've seen nowhere else but the city's fifth Chinatown. Did I mention it's supremely delicious?
The restaurant rose like a phoenix after a devastating fire, and the food became better than ever, as if the near-death experience stimulated it to greater efforts. The pan-roasted farm chicken at Annisa from chef Anita Lo's original menu remains the best thing: a bird—surprisingly plump compared with the desiccated specimens found elsewhere—that has undergone a subdermal stuffing of pig foot, causing the skin to shine like the face of a nervous debutante at her first ball. The bird is scented with white truffles, too, making it hopelessly rich and satisfying.
One of my favorite things to eat in the world is upma, a South Indian porridge that begins with plain cream of wheat, but then gets mutated like hell by the addition of such things as black mustard seeds, curry leaves, onions, ginger, and pistachios. Imagine my excitement at discovering that upma is incorporated into a dosa at Jersey City's all-vegetarian, mainly vegan Sapthagiri, with a wrapper made of crushed and fermented moong daal. Woo-hoo! The covering adds a grassy taste to the pesarattu upma, and the whole thing challenges your ideas of what to expect from Indian food.
It was a brilliant move on the part of chef Daniel Holzman to take an Italian-American classic, the meatball hero, and make slight improvements to it, instead of transforming the fuck out of it so that it was no longer recognizable. He began by selecting really, really good bread, which yields soon after you chomp down, instead of resisting your teeth and squirting the balls out the end. He also used fresh mozzarella instead of the crap you find in most pizza parlors. The meatball hero at the Meatball Shop is memorably delicious, and enough like the original that it would pass as such with most meatball-hero aficionados—including myself.

|Lines, Loops and Leaders Line / Leader Recipes, Loops, Splices, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
You might want to test the strength. A couple years ago when I tried the same thing it seemed to break easily on the back end of a 9wt SA floater. I only tested it by twice and gave up on it after the second failure. I never liked the albright either. Of course, different fly line types will probably have different results.
OTOH. I've never had a properly installed braided loop fail on any type of fly line. Same with a nail knotted or served fly line loop.
I also didn't like the knot because the resulting diameter is about 3x the original line diameter at the "figure eight" end. Since I could use this knot on bigger lines that are likely to be pulled through the guides, the extra bump did not appeal to me.
But, I've been a huge fan of this knot for some time. It is a fabulous knot for attaching mono bite tipped to the leader. The same holds true for attaching bite tippets to mono and mono to gsp on conventional gear.
Then wrap the doubled backing over the flyline several times and tuck it under itself like a clinch knot...
Gradually tighten everything up so the fly line knot comes tight like a little barrel and the backing pulls tight over the flyline like a snell of sorts...
My first try, neither too slim nor very beautiful but you get the gist. I am sure I will get smooth with it over time and also am thinking of alternatives to the clinch wrap on the line side. I will let you know if I come up with anything more like a snell on an old eagle claw bait hook.
Thanks JF!
Slim Beauty Knot
OK thanks to JFBasser I have just retied a gelspun to flyline attachment using the Slim Beauty knot (first try). I like the knot better than an albright and trust that it is much stronger than a loop connection.
I will still use a double surgeon's loop to kevlar loop connector on my Spey reels where I swap lines a lot, since I doubt it will ever break there - but for lines that I do not swap I will replace albrights with this knot for sure.
Here is how to tie it:
Step one...
tie a double overhand knot in the end of the fly line...
Pull slowly and evenly until a figure-eight forms from the tension...
Double over the backing and thread it thru both halves of the figure eight as if they were fly rod guides...

Mobile development is not the next big thing anymore, it is THE big thing today. And as you may already know, Oracle APEX is ready to take on the challenge of creating mobile business solutions.
We at iAdvise already started to experiment with mobile application development in APEX 4.0, but off course this was not the ideal environment yet. Since APEX 4.1 you can declaratively create mobile applications with jQuery mobile, and with the latest release (4.2) it's really starting to lift off. You can even declaratively build responsive applications.
In May 2012 we gave a seminar about mobile development, and since then we successfully developed several mobile solutions for our clients. Below you can find a demo of an application we created for one of our most valued customers, New Holland Tractor Ltd.
New Holland Tractor Ltd
About New Holland: Since 1895, New Holland is committed to providing solutions that improve farming efficiency and productivity.
New Holland offers cash crop producers, livestock farmers, contractors, vineyards and groundcare professionals the largest choice of easy-to-operate tractors, harvesters and material handling equipment.
New Holland complements the widest agricultural equipment offering in the world with efficient Parts and Service support and a range of tailored financial services from a specialist in agriculture. Setting themselves the highest standards in quality and service, is part of the culture of New Holland, part of the DNA of New Holland. The plant in Antwerp (New Holland Tractor Limited) with some 1,000 employees, is a major manufacturing unit of tractor parts such as rear axles and drive systems.
Mobile application
New Holland Tractor requested a mobile solution to let their workers use checklists at the quality gates of the assembly lines in the plant.
In the past they had to manage all these checklists by hand. For each checklist, a paper form had to be filled out after which it had to be processed by hand. This created a lot of overhead and it was very easy to make errors.
The application had to be developed in Oracle APEX 4.1 and had to be super user-friendly. The result is a simple, yet elegant application.
At iAdvise we invest a lot to make our applications user-friendly. For this project we started off by designing mockups that were used as guidelines during the development phase, those helped us to create a very simple and efficient application.
For the workers of New Holland Tractor, this solution was a huge improvement. Now that the checklists are processed automatically, it's very easy to analyze the production process and there's less room for errors, hence it further increased both productivity and efficiency at the assembly lines.
We feel that mobile development with APEX is really kicking off and the APEX development team is on the right track to make APEX a mobile enabled development environment.
Exciting times are coming!

Using Financial Aid and Loans to Study Abroad
Studying abroad is a valuable educational experience and it can also be a costly one. It is important to get your finances together well before your classes are scheduled to begin. All aid, including alternative loans, is processed through the Office of Student Financial Aid. The process of filing a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Financial Aid) and/or applying for an alternative loan can take up to a month, even longer if there is a problem along the way.
- Financial aid that can be used abroad: Federal Pell Grant, Federal SEOG Grant, State Grants, R.I. Children's Crusade, Federal Stafford Loan, Federal Perkins Loan, and Alternative Loans.
- Letter of Approval: You must get approval for your study abroad program from the Director of Study Abroad. The Director (Dr. Olga Juzyn email@example.com ) needs to send an email verifying that you are going abroad to James Dorian in the Records Office and to Nancy Bessette in the Office of Student Financial Aid and.
- Budget: You must submit an estimated budget to the Office of Student Financial Aid. This budget should be broken down into categories: tuition, fees, housing, food, books, transportation while abroad, plane tickets and other miscellaneous expenses.
- Authorization of Credit Form:This form can be found in the Records Office or downloaded from http://www.ric.edu/studyabroad/formsguidelines.php (the Study Abroad Office web page) and is needed in order to ensure the credits you are taking abroad will transfer to RIC. One form is needed for each class that you intend to take abroad. The original copy of each form should be submitted to Dr. Olga Juzyn firstname.lastname@example.com, the Director of Study Abroad, so that she can send copies to the Office of Student Financial Aid and to the Records Office. No aid can be awarded until the Records Office enters your study abroad credits into the system.
- Consortium Agreement Form: This form can be found at the Office of Student Financial Aid or downloaded from http://www.ric.edu/studyabroad/formsguidelines.php (the Study Abroad Office web page). You must have a representative from the specific program or host institution (i.e. American Institute for Foreign Study (AIFS) or Bond University, etc.) fill out this form and return it to the Office of Student Financial Aid. If you have questions about who is your host institution you should contact Nancy Bessette firstname.lastname@example.com in the Office of Student Financial Aid.
Steps 1-3 must be complete before your aid and loans can be awarded while step 4 must be complete before the money can be refunded to you. It is important to understand that even if you have completed the four steps outlined above there will be delays in getting your aid if your financial aid application, i.e. your FAFSA and any supporting documentation, is incomplete. It is your responsibility to make sure everything is processed for both federal aid and alternative loans in order for the aid to disburse two weeks before your departure.
If you have any questions please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid at 401-456-8033.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
There he stood, his cobalt-white head and coal-black feathers almost glowing in the Kentucky sunshine. Fourteen years later, I still consider that bird the epitome of gobbler perfection.
Trouble was, he was in the middle of a damnable field, following umpteen hens as they did their random early-morning turkey thing. My friend and I weren't going to call in this turkey. We couldn't crawl on him, either.
Some options were available, though. The breeding flock was at the opposite end of the large rectangular field, but the birds were slowly heading toward our side of the opening.
"If they keep coming this way, we might have a crack at them," I whispered. "We can find a good setup and wait them out."
My friend nodded but seemed skeptical.
"If we slip closer, we'd be in good position if they duck into the woods on this side," he said. "There's enough timber to slip within 60 to 70 yards of them."
True enough. But who could predict what the birds would do? And if we chose the wrong option, the morning would be finished.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- On a pitching staff that's been battered and bruised, Justin Masterson is performing like an ace.
Cleveland's right-hander threw nine shutout innings and Nick Swisher's two-out RBI single in the ninth gave the Indians a 1-0 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday.
Masterson, who has three of Cleveland's four wins, extended his consecutive scoreless innings streak to a career-high 19. He hasn't allowed a run since the third inning on opening day against Toronto and pitched seven scoreless in his second start against Tampa Bay.
''It's going to end sometime, right?'' Masterson said of his scoreless innings streak. ''You have to go out and finish off innings, which is something I'm trying to do.''
''It would have been a shame for us to not go out and get Masty that win,'' said Swisher, who hit the first pitch from reliever Jesse Crain to score Michael Bourn with the game's only run.
The Indians were outscored 25-7 in losing the first two games of a series to the Yankees. Scheduled games Wednesday and Thursday were postponed by rain, allowing manager Terry Francona to come back with Masterson.
The Indians' pitching staff had a 5.58 ERA through the first eight games and had allowed 16 home runs.
''It was fun,'' Francona said. ''It would have been more fun if we had (scored) nine, but it was really good.''
White Sox manager Robin Ventura was impressed with Masterson's performance.
''This is as good as I think I've ever seen him,'' Ventura said. ''He was great today. And that's the story - he was great. His ball was moving all over the place.''
Masterson (3-0) retired the side in order in the ninth and was given a standing ovation by the crowd of 11,864. That momentum carried into the bottom of the inning when Bourn started the rally with a one-out double off Crain (0-1).
Bourn's blooper landed near the left field line and he beat the throw to second base. After Asdrubal Cabrera's groundout moved Bourn to third, Crain fell behind Jason Kipnis in the count 3-0 before an intentional walk was issued.
Swisher, one of the Indians' key offseason additions, hit the first pitch into right field and was mobbed by his teammates as the Indians won for the first time in three home games despite managing only three hits.
''The two stars of the game were Justin Masterson and Jason Kipnis,'' Swisher said.
Masterson and Jose Quintana engaged in a pitchers' duel. Masterson allowed five hits and struck out seven. Quintana held the Indians to one hit in seven innings with seven strikeouts.
Masterson was assisted by his defense. Alex Rios hit a ball off the wall with two outs in the first, but was thrown out trying for a double by left fielder Michael Brantley.
Alexei Ramirez singled to lead off the sixth, but was thrown out attempting to steal second by catcher Yan Gomes. Paul Konerko doubled with two outs in the seventh - becoming Chicago's first batter to reach second - but Dayan Viciedo struck out.
Conor Gillaspie started the eighth with a double over the head of Brantley, who nearly made a running catch in front of the wall. Ramirez fouled off a bunt attempt that was caught by Gomes behind home plate. After a groundout moved Gillaspie to third, Masterson struck out Alejandro De Aza to end the inning.
''My defense was great for me,'' Masterson said. ''I'm trying to stay under control and it really makes a difference when your defense makes those kinds of plays.''
Quintana allowed one hit - Brantley's two-out double in the second. The Indians' only other base runner against the left-hander came when Swisher was hit by a pitch with two outs in the fourth. Quintana, who allowed six runs in four innings in his first start against Seattle, struck out seven. Matt Thornton pitched a scoreless eighth.
Cleveland activated designated hitter Jason Giambi (strained lower back) from the 15-day disabled before the game.

- Description
Cierva Cove is on the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula, nestled in the north of Hughs Bay. Base Primavera is an Argentine research station on Cierva Point. The base is open only in the summer, and we were fortunate enough to arrive on a brilliant day just before the station closed for 2008. The ice-strewn cove provides plenty of opportunities for folks who admire big ice. Among the gravel and rocks, we found lichens, mosses and a few vascular plants giving a surprising variety of color to the landscape by the station. The 15 digital images of this panorama were captured with a hand-held Nikon D80 and stitched with Autopano Pro.

- THERE is a lovely lady,
- Whom I have often seen,
- She's fair and bright and beautiful,
- And she was born a queen.
- She looks both mild and gentle,
- Though she lives in regal state,
- And her attendant nobles
- In countless myriads wait.
- Her mien is humble, and with them
- Her dignity she shares,
- She would not that her lustrous eye
- Should dim the light of theirs.
- Upon the ground her beaming smiles
- And blessings fall unheard,
- She kisses every folded flower
- And every silent bird.
- If, when we draw our curtains,
- We draw them not too tight,
- She steals a glance into our room
- And wishes us good‐night!

Steamboat Springs The Routt County Sheriff's Office is warning construction workers and building suppliers to secure their copper.
Last week, there were four separate cases of copper wire thefts from construction sites near Catamount subdivision, Sgt. Ray Birch said Monday.
It is a unique crime, Birch said, but copper theft has become more common across the United States because the price for the commodity has skyrocketed. Thieves are stealing copper and selling it to salvage yards for around $4 per pound.
"We have a limited number of salvage yards up here, but if you go the Front Range there are a lot of places that buy copper," Birch said.
About 1,400 total feet of copper wire of varying length and diameter valued at $1,700 was taken from the Catamount area construction sites. Some power tools also were taken.
The copper thefts in other parts of the country include more than wire.
In Denver some city-owned parkways and medians dried out after copper thieves nabbed irrigation fittings and valves, the Rocky Mountain News reported. It has cost the city thousands of dollars. Copper air conditioning coils were targeted at a Lexington, Ky., church. Copper gutters and downspouts were stolen in Portland, Ore., the newspaper reported.
Birch said he is concerned the thieves might become more daring in Routt County and start targeting suppliers.
"I could see them cutting through a fence and going after these spools," Birch said.
He said the sheriff's office does not have any leads yet, and the characteristics of the crimes were inconsistent. They are building a suspect and crime profile off the four Catamount thefts.
"You want to be on the lookout for any suspicious activity," Birch said.
Anyone with information can contact the sheriff's office by calling 870-5519. Routt County dispatch can be reached by calling 879-1090.
To reach Matt Stensland, call 871-4210 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
