Petula Clark, the 80-year-old singer of Downtown, looks set to enjoy a late-career revival after releasing a surprisingly modern-sounding new song.
The British singer posted Cut, Copy Me, the lead single for her upcoming album Lost In You, on YouTube today.
It has been met with acclaim, with blog Glasswerk calling it "simple and elegant" and Popjustice saying the song is a "Saint Etienne-meets-Lana Del Rey-esque surprise triumph".
Lost In You, Clark's first album in 21 years, is made up of some originals and a smattering of covers, including a reimagining of the singer's 1964 hit Downtown.
It is one of a series of comeback albums set to be released by veteran stars in 2013.
David Bowie recently released Where Are We Now, his first new single in a decade, and revealed plans to put out a new album titled The Next Day in March.
Fellow music veteran Prince has also revealed a surprise new song called Screwdriver.
It was released with little fanfare on his slightly cryptic website.
Lost In You tracklist:
1. Cut Copy Me
2. Lost in You
3. Crazy
4. Never Enough
5. Downtown (New Version)
6. Next To You
7. Reflections
8. He loves and She Loves
9. Every Word You Say
10. Imagine
11. Love Me Tender
12. I Won't Care

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Re: Atkins:
Body chemistry is the whole key. I've been on the Atkins diet for about three years now; my cholestrol is well within normal limits, and I'm able to keep the weight off that I lost (about 35 pounds). My blood type is O negative. Apparently, according to some things I've read, that makes a difference.
Frankly, I don't really miss pasta dishes, desserts, or bread, but I sure as hell miss my Guinness and the wonderful northwest IPA's.
Cheers and congratulations on your success with the South Beach diet, guys,
The martial arts is a great way to go because it offers the mental as well as physical training. I played footbal in high school and also studied judo at the same time. Aside from the balance training and learning how to get hit and fall well, it tought me a lot about contact sports NOT being about fighting. I'm thinking tai chi as a starting point (I misspoke and said yoga in my earlier post, it was early and I was working on my first cup of coffee). Three years ago I bowhunted elk in Idaho's Bighole mountains and now it would literally kill me to try to do that. Things change quickly when you pass 40. It's definitely time to do something about it.
Those fad diets are bad news. I went on the Atkins diet because a frined at work had success with it, but apparently it aint for me. Your sentiments about making time now to be able to enjoy time later rings true Sean, I need to just create the time and make it happen.
I'll pick up that book this weekend.
Sean -
5 times a week!! Wow.
I wouldn't want to mess with you before now I will need the less weight and cardio health to run in case I ever piss you off... so keep bulking up those heavy muscles in case I do
Mark -
Martial arts is great stuff; I am impressed you have done it for 15 years. I used to do it as a kid but now at 46 years young I get humbled by librarians and teenagers 2-3 times per week, 4-6 hours which is only a fraction of the time you train and teach. Sounds funny but the humbling part is really important to me because I've learned it's not about fighting. Like fly fishing it's about untangling a life mystery and striving for mastery in something that makes us well-rounded and well-centered people. I have no interest in being "tough" except to myself - I want to be self-disciplined and the best father, husband, worker, friend, teacher, student, all of the important things in life and karate is among life's best paths to that end as you already know even more than I.
It doesn't hurt that it gets me in shape as well.
Congrats Juro. I did not think you had that much weight to lose. Good stuff.
I also am getting back on the workout train. Took a couple years off with the arrival of the new baby but for his and my sake I am getting back into it. So far 10 pounds gone in 3 weeks by eating lots of protein and hitting the gym 5 days a week. I build muscle quickly so the weight loss is slowing down but the inches are still going away. I feels so much better to be getting physical activity. Life is much better.
Moose your doctor gave you the best proactive advice there is. Watch what you eat and exercise.
I have always been leery of those diet fads like adkins where one can lose weight without excercising. To me you are only solving one part of the equation. You can be as skinny as a rail and still drop dead from a heart attack. The south beach diet looks alot more sensible.
Not having time is never an excuse. You just gotta fit it in. I will admit there are things I rather be doing but like Mark I want to be able to do the things I enjoy for a long long time.
|Dble Haul
It's great to hear about the positive progress that some people are making in this area.
I have never had any issues with carrying too much weight; in fact, I've been on the opposite side of the spectrum. I'm 6'6" tall and weigh 195 pounds. All during my teenage years my coaches were trying to beef me up with weight work and diet changes, but in hindsight you really can't fight genetics. My metablolism is quite high, and in my growing years my doctor demanded that I eat four meals a day or else suffer the consequences (fatigue, anemia, vitamin deficiencies, etc.).
I'm now 35 and in the best shape of my life. I attribute much of this to my martial arts training over the past fifteen years, but I also have to give partial credit to changes in my diet. Two years ago I suffered a cluster of migraine headaches the likes of which I had never experienced. In addition to being put on a preventative medication, I dropped as much crap from my diet as possible. I eliminated soda (have you ever taken a good look at a soda can label, even if it's diet? ), candy, and other types of food and drink that are more synthetic than natural. I eat large portions at meals, and eat a large variety of the foods outlined in the pyramid. At this point in my life, I'd rather eat an apple than a cookie.
I'm a very active person, and I want to stay that way for a very long time. I have noticed a difference in my energy level the past few years since I made those diet changes, and it's afforded me the opportunity to keep my performance and expectations high, whether it's teaching and training fifteen hours a week at the kung fu school or doing a death march on a Cape beach.
Moose -
One thing you can do is take those psyllium fiber capsules and eat foods that provide fiber (without carbs or fat). I take metamucil capsules 2 w/ breakfast and 1-2 more with meals later in the day unless I forget, but I always get those two with breakfast. I read that taking the right kind of fiber pills prior to meals can make a huge difference in the way your body processes food.
Anyway it's just fiber (not drugs) and for me it does not affect frequency of having to go in the least but it definitely improves the way I digest food. Without going into the details, you can definitely tell. But that's not why I take it.
I take it because (a) I have a history of colon cancer in the family (b) it blocks carbs and (c) it reduces cholesterol by moving it out of your body. I read that even a very healthy blend of high density lipoproteins (HDL) vs harmful LDLs can only get cholesterols to the large intestine but you need fiber to carry it out of the body or it sits there and accumulates. Yikes! With my genetics that sounds like a bad thing.
With plenty of exercise lately I think I am getting the HDL count up there and hopefully fast-forwarding cholesterol to the large intestine but unless it's effectively sent to the hopper my genetics could still fail me despite all my efforts. So fiber is an important ingredient in my recipe for health.
It might help lower your cholesterol level (?)
I'll have to pick up that book. I think the dangerous thing about the Atkins no carb diet was the high fat intake it encourages. I think some folks are just biologically inclined towards a high cholesterol level and this diet put mine through the roof even though they claimed that this would not happen.
Funny, but the doctor had plenty to say against that Atkins diet and watching my cholesterol but had next to nothing productive to say about what TO do to actually lose weight other than "Watch what you eat and excersise more". Well, duh!! Too bad modern medicine is basically reactive rather than proactive.
Hey Moose -
A friend at work lost 50 pounds, then another brought in the South beach diet book for me after losing a bunch of weight. I think he was trying to tell me somehting but I didn't even open it for months.
Then he left the company and I thought I had better read it before I give it back. I opened and scanned a few pages and tried a few of the things that stuck. I was amazed at how my body reacted. I went most of the day without being hungry by avoiding the carbs and eating a breakfast that burned slowly in the stomach.
For me it was an initial experiment giving me confidence that what they were saying was true. I tried an egg-white omelet made with veggies, small glass of v8 and a celery stick, no bread. I popped a few dry roasted peanuts as a snack with water mid-day. 3pm came and went and I really wasn't hungry but I ate something anyway realizing I didn't need it. Then for dinner I had a salad with grilled chicken and sliced almonds and a light vinagrette dressing. I felt like I could enjoy that kind of food for a while. I found other stuff, started reading labels and a week later I saw the pounds dropping and I haven't turned back since.
I think you should first read the first 60-70 pages of the SB diet book, try a couple of the things they suggest and give it a couple of weeks. It's pretty amazing what happens in two weeks. Then it's steady from there if you stick to it.
I am no expert but rule#1 is - if you eat carbs like sugar and starch the body converts it into fat unless you exercise like mad to burn it up right when you eat it. Rule #2 - to lose fat you need to run the body lean on calories as well, they say to really lose fat you need to create a deficit of calories vs. expenditure.
So the secret is to cut carbs out and pick good foods that are low in calories that make you feel satisfied. Use good snacks in between clever meals to keep things on the even keel.
Keep the calories low but that doesn't mean you can't fill up with good foods. And exercise works the body toward that deficit that burns fat even when you are doing nothing.
I am still learning, like I said it's only been two months but I am 17-18 pounds lighter (190# to 171-172#). I figure by next month if I really stick to it I will hit my 165# goal and then put the muscle back on which I know weighs more than fat so I will change focus to being in shape rather than weight.
Good luck, maybe if we keep talking about it here it will help. I know that talking about it with others has been a key ingredient for me! I am more than happy to keep this dialog going
Juro, I weighed 190 pounds when I was 14 (but I was 6'2" at the time).
I was in really good shape until I hit about 35 at which time I began spending 10 to 12 hours a day driving a cement mixer. I then suffered a bad leg injury (fully recovered now) and am now a good 50 pounds over weight, have little time to work out (I work from 6 am to 5 pm on average) and after going on the Atkins diet my cholesterol went way over 200. Bad news there, been on Vytorin for some time.
So then, where did you get this diet info or where can I research this? I'm also thinking of getting into morning Yoga to get the body stretched and the mind relaxed and a bicycle for evening rides. I'm only 41 but feel 60. Sounds like yo got good results.
Congrats on your progress to date.
I have been pretty thin for the past 10 years. I avoid empty calories and I have worked out somewhat regularly over the past 8 years. Before that I worked out a lot more.
Anyway, 7 or 8 years ago I decided to trim some fat and bulk up at the same time. I was working at the Univeristy of Maine in Orono at the time. I spent 3 months on a Zone like diet (40/30/30 calorie breakdown so the carbs are a little limited). Anyway, in 3 months I lost some fat and definitely packed on muscle.
The routine works.
Back when I was in the midst of this routine I had a great life....
- Get up and cook a nice protein rich breakfast
- Do some research for 6 hours or so
- Go to the gym for 45 minutes
- Go to the Penobscot and spend 3-4 hours fishing for salmon or stripers (I had no idea that stripers were that far upriver)
-Cook a nice dinner with friends
-Sleep and repeat
Keep up the good work....
Way to go dude, I switched over to the lo carb thing a couple years ago, fell of the wagon during the holidays and am back in the saddle again. Now I've just got to get back on a workout schedule. I find when I get in the groove even sleep is better - unless there's an o'dark thirty mission to be had.
BTW - Blueberries are VERY good for you, locarb or not.
Doin' the carb thing
On a related note...
I started the South Beach-esque carb limiting diet on December 1st while also starting a work-out regimen (Uechi-Ryu Karate) 2 nights a week. At that point I weighed roughly 190 pounds at 5' 7".
A freind gave me his book to read and I started to apply the theories of preventing sugar / starch based glycemia reactions and insulin (carbohydrates) while feeding the body with things it can convert into energy over longer periods of time (proteins).
I just wanted to drop a few pounds but so far I have dropped 18-19 pounds in two months and weigh 171-172 with a new goal of 168-ish while being more fit than I have in over a decade. Once there I will start training for muscle mass and hope to go back up to about 175 converted. I also intend to complete black belt training over the next few years.
Along the way I have discovered foods that are indulgently good but innocent for the body and will post them in this board FWIW....
Example breakfast:
Wasa sesame crisp (<10 carbs)
Baba gannouj or hummus (spread as if mayo)
layer of Taboule spread over
Scottish style lox laid over
squeeze of lemon
6oz low sodium V8 w/ celery stick (virgin bloody mary of sorts)
total carbs in that are minimal but it feels like I ate something rich and satisfying
Compare with bagel, cream cheese which are also yummy but the carbs, fat and calories there convert differently in the body. To me they dont taste any better but they turn into FAT.
Another example - dessert:
1/4 cup frozen blueberries just thawed
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
a few blackberries or other thrown in for variety
one tablespoon of plain yogurt (more to taste)
stir together to your liking
the frozen berries are a little sweeter and juicy while the fresh have a better texture so combined with the yogurt the make a rich purple dessert that is off the charts in terms of antioxidants and no less satisfying than a bowl of ice cream to me.
Add up to two tablespoons (a dollup) of pure whipped cream (e.g. cabot's) from a can which has 1g of carb and 1.5 g of fat - barely registering as long as you keep the topping to 2 tablespoons or less.
Compare that to a bowl of coffee heath bar crunch ice cream which is off the charts in sugar, carbs, fats, etc.
Sure at first it takes an adjustment but for me it was far less than regular soda to diet, or real sugar to splenda, etc. But the benefits are huge and frankly I am discovering new foods that I like as well or better and dropping the pounds fast.
Like fishing, it's all about satisfaction. Eating without concern for impact on the body is like gut hooking because you want to get the hook set well. I thought satisfaction from food was about the food itself but it's more like how the food and your body get along. Eating stuff that makes you unhealthy is a one-way street where the eating might be mighty fine but the living is pooor. Finding things that please the palate while making your body more healthy is much more satifying overall in the larger scope of life.

This game will go into overtime but this time we will win by a field goal!
Dolphins: 30
Bills: 27
Go Dolphins!!
April 27 to 29
out of your mind...
Let's be honest, Bill's passing game was good last week, we are going to be toasted. 30-17 Bills, another heartbreaking game, at least now we know it.
Miami 26
buffalo 24
fitzpatrick scares me against our db's but he will force the ball sometimes so we could get a couple picks.(probably not s.smith though) i also look for tannehill to bounce back against the bills d. He could have a big night.
It would be nice if we could do what the Titans did after they got embarassed. However, I don't think our defense has that type of attitude. The offense on the other hand should turn things around and have a decent day (night actually).
With that, my guess....
Miami 17
Bills 31
I always believe in my team even when my predictions seem impossible to happen. Who would of thought that we were to lose (destroyed) by the lowly Titans? Any given Sunday...don't forget.
Besides you're right: I am otherwise out of my mind!
Dolphins 27
Bills 24
Bills 17 Dolphins 6
well i hope we can bounce back bc i want to at least be able to watch meaningful football in december.
right now we are pretty much ****ed in terms of wildcard, but for division we still ''technically'' control our own destiny.
lets keep the season going for at least 1 more week.
dolphins -24
We ain't scoring more than 20 without lots of short fields and or non offensive TD'S. I say we drop this one 20-13, defense shows up but we have no offense.

Truffle Oil: A Pantry Must Have
ruffle Oil is a versatile, modern ingredient usually used as a finishing oil on dishes that call for an earthy flavor and aroma.
The Real Deal with Truffle Oil
In the last few years, truffle oil has gotten a bit of a bad rap with some chefs and in certain food-writing circles. In the 1990s, it was hot trend that popped up on menus seemingly everywhere. Its widespread (and often heavy-handed) use combined with an aversion to how truffle oil is made caused it to fall out of favor with some 'foodies'. Truffle oil isn't made from real truffle – but don't immediately assume that's a bad thing. The concept behind truffle oil is to be able to enjoy truffle aroma and flavor without using real (rare, expensive and seasonal) truffles. Steeping genuine truffle in oil may seem the logical way to manufacture truffle oil but in fact, infusing truffles in oil gives a less than potent, often unreliable flavor that dissipates quickly. This is where molecular gastronomy and food science step in! Real truffles, both Black Winter Tuber melanosporum and White Alba Tuber magnatum, contain several naturally occurring odor compounds, such as the unattractively named but wonderfully pungent, "2,4-Dithiapentane". The individual compounds that make up a fresh truffle's 'secret formula' occur naturally in other foods. Food scientists are able to combine these organic scent compounds in specific ratios to create concentrated truffle essence. The essence is then carefully added to carrier oils such as olive, grape seed or sunflower creating a full-flavored, robust and lasting truffle-scented oil that is but a fraction of the cost of the real thing and available year round. We're not saying truffle oil is a substitute for real, fresh truffles. What we are saying is truffle oil is a fine ingredient if you're looking to add earthy, musky flavor to a dish without spending a lot of money.
A Little Drop'll Do Ya!
For the best flavor, less is definitely more when it comes using truffle oil. A small touch of truffle oil added to a dish right before serving will add earthiness without overpowering. Both black and white truffle oils can intensify truffle flavor in a recipe when used alongside real, fresh truffle. And a scant amount can lend a subtle, luxurious flavor to a dish when diluted into a carrier, such as olive oil, before adding. Think of truffle oil as you do perfume. It's a finishing touch that when applied correctly with a light hand adds intrigue and charm.
D'Artagnan Black Truffle Oil is made with clean-tasting sunflower oil and carefully crafted Black Winter Truffle essence. It has an intense, musky aroma and complex flavor. Black Truffle Oil adds an earthy character to mashed potatoes and french fries, gives simple egg dishes complexity and lends a headiness to hot-off-the-stove popcorn.
Our White Truffle Oil is made from first pressed, pure olive oil and Italian white truffle essence. It has a robust, earthy aroma with notes of fresh garlic. White truffle oil adds a kiss of truffle aroma to savory custards, makes a wonderful finishing oil for risotto or ricotta gnocchi, gives an earthy kick to salad dressings and is the crowning touch on Robiola, prosciutto and roasted garlic pizza.

Yamaha DX200
The hot new DX200 is a programmable desktop sequencer with a return to Yamaha's legendary sound of FM synthesis. Based on the classic DX7, an authentic 6-operator FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesis engine sits at the heart of the DX200, bringing back the famous sounds of the DX-series synthesizers. Taking a few clues from the success of Korg and Roland's desktop sequencing synthesizers, the DX200 is a realtime 16-step sequencer (groove-box) designed for musicians and DJs alike! On top of that, the DX200 is fully compatible with DX7 System Exclusive MIDI data for downloading DX7 patches into the DX200, and vice-versa!
In addition to the 16-voice polyphonic FM synth sounds, the DX200 also provides 32 voices of AWM2 sample-playback for drum, percussion, bass, and rhythm sounds. There are over 120 sounds available to choose from; most are geared towards the dance genre. Sixteen realtime control knobs provide hands on access to FM parameters, LFO, envelope, filter, and effects. FM synthesis/programming has actually been somewhat simplified for use in the DX200. One feature that was sorely missed in many classic DX-series synthesizers was the omission of filters. However, the new DX200 has an advanced resonant multi-mode filter with variable 12, 18 or 24 dB/oct slopes and lowpass, hipass, bandpass, and band reject modes. The lowpass features a dedicated envelope generator. The ADSR envelope can control both the filter and the Amp. Also onboard are portamento, polyphonic, mono, and unison modes. The LFO features up to 21 waveforms and can modulate either the pitch or filter.
Although the DX200 can be used as an FM sound module via MIDI, its advanced sequencer makes it an excellent all-in-one FM groove machine! And with all those classic FM sounds (punchy bass, ambient textures, metallic sounds, etc.) the DX200 is definitely set apart from other similar groove machines. The sequencer section is also modeled after classic analog style sequencers. A simple turn of a knob can control each step of the current pattern. That is - for each of its 16 steps per pattern, the pitch, gate time and velocity can be independently tweaked in realtime. The sequencer offers one track for your FM sounds, and three additional tracks for the AWM2 rhythm sounds. Each track can be assigned to individual MIDI channels. Patterns can be created live in realtime or carefully programmed in step-mode, and they can be chained together for up to 10 songs. Songs can be exported via MIDI for use in sequencers or off-line storage.
Motion Control is also implemented in the DX200 via the Free EG. It's an envelope generator that gives up to 4 tracks for recording parameter tweaks giving complex, evolving motion to your sounds and patterns! All knobs transmit MIDI control change messages too. Yamaha's Scene Memory function is also onboard for quickly storing tweaked parameters for instant recall or to "morph" between the two scene memories in realtime! The two scene memories are stored with each pattern.
Although the realtime control is essential for the DJ, the DX200 also comes with tools for the studio musician! A great software editor package is bundled with the DX200 for even easier editing via external computer (Mac/PC). The software editor provides in-depth editability and control, such as the ability to hand-draw envelopes, and much more. A graphic simulation of the DX7 is included as well as the ability to import original DX7 sounds and patterns.
In the end, the DX200 is a God-send for any musician looking for those classic DX/FM sounds without all the hassles and complexity of programming and maintaining the old synths that provided them. The DX200 has realtime control, built-in realtime sequencing, filters, morphing ability and much more! At such a reasonable price, the DX200 just may transcend its classic ancestors.

ECOCEAN Whale Shark Identification Project
Introducing the ECOCEAN Whale Shark Photo-identification Library
The ECOCEAN Whale Shark Photo-identification Library is a visual database of Whale Shark (Rhincodon Typus) encounters and of individually catalogued Whale Sharks. The library is maintained and used by marine biologists to collect and analyze whale shark encounter data to learn more about these amazing creatures.
The Library uses photographs of the skin patterning behind the gills of each shark and any scars to distinguish between individual animals. Cutting-edge software supports rapid identification using pattern recognition and photo management tools.
You too can assist with Whale Shark research - by submitting photos and sighting information. The information you submit will be used in mark-recapture studies to help with the global conservation of this threatened species.
- 28000+ photos collected
- 11000+ whale shark reports
- 2300+ data contributors
- 2300+ whale sharks collaboratively tagged
- 365 research days/year
Please check out the link to the Ecocean Whale Shark Project at: www.whaleshark.org for information on how to get involved, or submit your photographs directly.
We have dedicated a section in our gallery to some of the individual Whale Sharks sighted in local waters and subsequently identified via the Ecocean project (all photographs added with the prior consent of the photographer).

So I did the right thing, I researched which wireless cards are guarenteed to work in Linux and decided on the Orinoco Gold which is sold by Proxim. I ordered it on friday and got it on monday (yesterday), wow, fast I was impressed.
And I was excited. I have used wireless cards on my laptop quite a bit, actually. Whenever I go to a coffee shop, I get one from the coffee-selling girls, and it works out of the box. My computer even makes a happy noise when I stick it in the slot.
It was this happy noise which I was anticipating excitedly when I got my new Orinoco card. I even took my headphones off so I could hear it (I forgot that my headphones were plugged into my computer so I wouldn't hear it if I took off my headphones, but forget about that).
I put the card in. No lights, no sound, no magic. What could have gone wrong?! This is the card with the name of the kernel module! It even has the name of the kernel module on the outside of the card!
But alas, Proxim has renamed their orinoco wireless card "gold" to "Gold Classic" and started selling some other card which does not use the same chipset as the "classic" card. I needed the "Classic" one to work in linux.
I guess I should update the wiki where I got my information. Now can I return it to this internet store that I talked about in my last diary entry? Stay tuned.

Results 1 to 5 of 5
Thread: The rest of my profiles :P
The rest of my profiles :P
I made a bunch of profiles a while back for in case I needed them, so I've decided to share the love ;)
Scientific Name:Labeotropheus fuelleborni
Common Name(s): Fulleborni mbuna
Size:5-7 inches
Diet:Most fish foods, but as with all Mbunas, NO WORMS
Water Parameters:Hard (7.5-8.5)
Natural location: Lake Malawi in Africa
Temperament: Aggressive, but nothing special for a Malawi
Tank-mates: other Malawi, a group of other Fullebornis is best.
Minimum Tank Size: at least 55 gallons (4')
Overview: This magnificent African cichlid does best when in groups with a large amount of rock-work for them to establish territory. Keep 2 females to a male, or the males will kill the females. They are best kept in larger group of African cichlids, so that the aggression is spread out across the group.
Common Name(s): Pumpkinseed
Scientific Name: Lepomis gibbosus
Size: 13", 6" is more common
Diet: Worms, pellets, danios, anything that fits in their mouth.
pH Range: 6.7-7.6
Temperature Range:60-77 Fahrenheit
Natural location: North American lakes and rivers
Temperament: Not as aggressive as many of its relatives, still quite territorial.
Tank-mates: Other similarly sized natives, Bluegills, rock bass ext.
Minimum Tank Size: 55 gallon or a 40 breeder
A lot like cold water convict cichlid when It comes to care, these fish breed quite readily. A native of North America, these fish may be illegal in your area, so make sure to check your local laws! Otherwise, they are pretty much cichlids in behavior and care, a very personable fish who is great for a beginner to native fish.
Scientific Name: Carassium auratus
Common Name(s): Ranchu, goldfish
Size: can get to 1', but expect around 6" in aquaria
Diet: goldfish pellets, goldfish flakes
pH Range: 7.5 is optimal.
Temperature Range: 64-76
Natural location: Bred in Japan for lacking a top fin
Temperament: Impossibly peaceful, but are omnivorous
Tank-mates: Nothing too fast (danios, other goldfish) and nothing guppy sized. Other ranchus are best
Minimum Tank Size: 35 gallons for a specimen, 20 gallons for each ranchu after that
A nice fish, bred for lacking a top fin. However, they are bad at competing for food and are prone to swimbladder disorders. An adorable fish, full of personality, and possibly the king of goldfish, but somewhat delicate, only for the intermediate or experienced keeper.
Scientific Name: Colisa lalia
Common Name(s): Dwarf gourami
Size: 2 inches, sometimes 3
Diet: Will accept flake
pH Range: neutral is best
Temperature Range: 75-80
Natural location: India, Ganges river
Temperament: Can be territorial
Tank-mates: Most things that won't eat it or it's fins
Minimum Tank Size: 6 or so for a specimen, 10 for a community
This great little fish is good for someone who is looking for a feature for their mini-tank. Overall, a nice fish to keep. HOWEVER, they are prone to disease, so have a couple basic medications ready. Known to have some troubles acclimating, be prepared to acclimate slowly.
More coming in later!
Carassium auratus?
Scientific name of all goldfish sp. They're kind of like dogs, it's all the same species. Might have a typo in there though :P
It's Carassius auratus, actually.300 gallon mega tank: sailfin pleco, clown loaches, silver dollars, roseline sharks, congo tetras, new world cichlids
125 gallon office tank: Africian cichlids, synodontis catfih
75 gallon community tank: bolivian rams, black skirt tetras, dwarf neon rainbowfish, corys, harlequin rasboras, otos, bristlenose and bulldog plecos, assassin snails, various shrimp
60 gallon goldfish tank: fancy goldfish
Crap. I knew that. (note to self, re-read old articles) :P

Another introductory article for new developers which tries to explain concepts on what a patch is and how to create and apply patches with examples.
I've been been quite busy, trying to migrate an NGO website over from Access/ASP to Zope/Plone on Debian. The design of Plone2 and increasing amounts of documentation has considerably lessoned the learning curve, but more documentation still needs to be written. I plan to modify the documentation I'm paid to write next week with regards to Plone setup/customization and make it available online for everybody else.
Hmm.. that reminds me that I need to add/update a few more Zope product ports for FreeBSD this weekend, and an accompanying step by step article so that new users can quickly get Plone up and running on FreeBSD.

It is definetly one of the "funner" shows I've watched. On the surface it's nothing too special. Another one of those 'dime-a-dozen' Shounens, but once you start watching the show, you understand what makes it so great.The story is not unlike any other Shounens. A young kid recently discovers something he really likes, he has a raw natural talent for it, and wan't to rise to the top. It's been done before, but the exact way Air Gear does it makes as enjoyable as it can be. Very interesting and comical and sometimes with a touch of the sentimental. So it gets a 9.The animation gets a 7 because it... See full review
Afro Samurai is a very solid show. It's got all the combinations for success and yet sometimes it still manages to be a bit boring. Which is why it didn't score higher for me.The Story gets an 8 for being somewhat original, it definitley takes the idea of the Ronin seeking revenge and gives it's own stylistic flares.Animation gets a 9 because Afro really does look pretty. It always sticks to a pallete of very dark, vivid and saturated colors to give it that rough edge the show definitely goes for.The Sound gets a 9 because this show is not only voiced by a great actor (i.e. Samuel L. Jackson) but it also... See full review
The words "Worthless" and "Hilarous" come to mind when I watched this. I only even attempted to watch this because I found the idea of an anime based solely around a girl "Jazzercising" to be undeniably funny. It did suprise me a little bit with what seemed like an attempt at a story-line. But soon after that the show got to the real business at hand: Boobs. A whole 4 handfuls of 'em. The only thing that gets a workout from watching this show are your eyes from the constant motion of her boobs. It was funny for a little bit, and then it was repetitive, and then I stopped...

Well, if people already didn't think that Detroit City officials were wacky, this is sure to change their mind. I heard about this driving home for spring break this weekend, and decided that I HAD to write something about this.
On Febraury 24th, the Detroit City Council voted against transferring Cobo Hall to the Detroit Regional Convention Authority. Cobo hall is in need of expansion and repair (the roof leaked on some VERY expensive cars this past weekend at Autorama). On March 4th, Mayor Ken Cockrel, Jr. vetoed the council's vote. On Thursday, the council called an emergency session (president Monica Conyers called the session) to override the veto. Well, that wasn't legal, so nothing really got done there. An injunction against that veto will most likely be submitted, probably today, and the Council is meeting again tonight.
Now, on to the fun part. The first video I have for you is from WDIV (Channel 4-NBC). This is Councilwoman Barbara Rose-Collins going off on how Detroit cannot give up Cobo Hall to the Regional Convention Authority (a group of 5 people – 1 from each of the counties of Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb, 1 person appointed by the mayor of Detroit, and 1 appointed by the Governor):
Next we have the video of Councilwoman Barbara Rose-Collins singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers" (and she's joined by Councilwoman Martha Reeves), courtesy of FOX 2 Detroit:
Here Collins defends what she said in the meeting and accuses Oakland County L. Brooks Patterson of being a racist, courtesy of FOX 2 Detroit:
Finally, here's L. Brooks Patterson defending himself and sharing his views on the situation, courtesy of FOX 2 Detroit:
Now, this just goes to show how sad of a state the Detroit leadership is in. Barbara Rose-Collins is pretty much the very definition of a racist idiot. She claims that Brooks Patterson called her a monkey. He never did that. He said that "instead of making decisions about the zoo, they ought to be in the zoo." Collins and other racists on the Council took that to mean that he was calling them monkeys, and Collins refuses to work with Patterson today because he won't apologize. Well, he has nothing to apologize for in my opinion, because he did NOT call anybody a monkey.
If he had compared the councilmembers to monkeys, even I would demand an apology from him. Do you know how heartless and mean of a thing to say that is? If I were a monkey, I would have been devastated! All joking aside, Brooks Patterson did nothing wrong – he simply stood up to the council and showed how ignorant they were. But he's white, and most of them are black, so that makes him a racist in their eyes.
I have one other factual error to correct. Collins talks about his involvement as a lawyer defending bus bombers in Pontiac. She claims that he defended NAG, who bombed school buses. Well, that's also untrue. For more about that, see the Detroit News piece on that: http://apps.detnews.com/apps/history/index.php?id=161. I'll go into quick detail – NAG was the National Action Group, and they opposed busing in Pontiac. Well, the Ku Klux Klan bombed some school buses. Patterson represented the head of NAG, Irene McCabe, but neither NAG nor McCabe were ever involved with the KKK bus bombings. Collins here again twisted the facts to make Patterson look like a racist, but it is COLLINS who is the racist.
It's not secret that I have great respect for L. Brooks. Oakland County is one of the most successful counties in the nation, and it's a county in one of the economically worst states. Sure, his humor gets him into trouble, but it makes me laugh – I liked his jokes about Collins.
Anyway, I hope that Cockrel's wish comes true, and Cobo is handed over to the Regional Convention Authority. We've seen before that Detroit leadership ruins more things than it fixes, and I think Cockrel sees that here. Hopefully his veto stands, and we can move on to fix and expand Cobo Hall.
Done Ranting,
Ranting Republican

Raytheon's "RIOT" Software Tracks Trillions of Pieces of Your Data on Facebook
Jason Mick
February 11, 2013 3:55 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Software was pitched to the U.S. government, but not yet sold
Raytheon Comp. (
) has created a social networking tracking program called Rapid Information Overlay Technology -- or "RIOT", for short -- which is building a database of trillions of pieces of data on
millions of users' social networking
profiles. The software digs into the usual suspects -- Facebook, Inc.'s (
) ubiquitous social network, popular microblogging site Twitter, and FourSquare, whose location-aware apps boast 25 million users.
I. RIOT is Watching You
The idea of RIOT is to allow government agents to in a click or two examine both your behavior history, and more interestingly (or alarmingly) predict your potential future actions.
Today, mobile client use has finally overtaken desktop use for Facebook, the world's largest network. But hidden in most mobile posts by Facebook's over 1 billion users is an information is
an "exif" information tag
, a special string that identifies the latitude and longitude the user posted from. By mining exif data publicly available posts (or alternatively creating Facebook softbots to friend users and lure them into RIOT's circle of friendship), RIOT is capable of tracking citizens' daily movements.
In a video, Brian Urch, principle investigator on the RIOT project at Raytheon describes, "We're going to track one of our own employees."
By mining the publicly available information, the demo shows how the client determined that "Nick" commonly frequents Washington Nationals Park. It even shows off a photo of a blonde whom Nick posed with at the park.
But RIOT's most powerful capability is trying to analyze the future. Its spidery webs of information spread out, assessing the trends in Nick's behaviors. It makes a discovery -- Nick goes to the gym each day at 6 a.m.
Mr Urch comments, "... So if you ever did want to try to get hold of Nick, or maybe get hold of his laptop, you might want to visit the gym at 6am on a Monday."
He encourages users with questions to shoot him an email at
II. Raytheon Fights to Keep Video Demo Secret
The video was never meant to be seen by the eyes of the public. Raytheon asked
, the top UK newspaper who obtained the video, not to post it.
Raytheon's spokesperson:
Riot is a big data analytics system design we are working on with industry, national labs and commercial partners to help turn massive amounts of data into useable information to help meet our nation's rapidly changing security needs.
Its innovative privacy features are the most robust that we're aware of, enabling the sharing and analysis of data without personally identifiable information [such as social security numbers, bank or other financial account information] being disclosed.
But Raytheon's argument that the product was "proof of concept" was not enough to convince
not to post the video. But even before the video, clues about RIOT were leaking out. A
patent application
filed by Raytheon in December -- -- contained details relating to the data mining technology in the software.
[Image Source: Alex's Archives]
In an interview with
, Ginger McCall, an attorney at the Washington, D.C.-based
Electronic Privacy Information Center
(EPIC), complains, "Social networking sites are often not transparent about what information is shared and how it is shared. Users may be posting information that they believe will be viewed only by their friends, but instead, it is being viewed by government officials or pulled in by data collection services like the Riot search."
III. RIOT is Even Better at Playing Big Brother Than Perfect Citizen
Raytheon, whose sales accounted for $25B USD in revenue last year, has reportedly not sold the software to any nation state clients -- yet. It reportedly demoed the software to the U.S. government at a trade show in April.
President Obama has
committed $200M USD to "big data" spending
-- including efforts to track citizens online. The Obama Administration has stated multiple times publicly that it seeks to protect citizen rights/expectations of privacy, but internally it's often
fought to step up intrusive monitoring
, arguing that such procedures are necessary to fight the shadowy ambiguous "terrorist" threat.
Raytheon is also authorized to export the software to foreign nations/corporations interested in using the "stalking software" on their targets, acccording to the "
" designation in trade documents obtained by
. EAR99 indicates that the software can "be shipped without a [government] licence to most destinations under most circumstances."
The company already has one lucrative $100M USD counterterrorism contract from the
U.S. National Security Agency
(NSA). Dubbed "
Perfect Citizen
", the NSA software aims to deploy digital "sensors" (scripts) to detect impending cyberattacks on U.S. networks. Some privacy experts have complained that Perfect Citizen was a guise for "Big Brother" style tracking.
President Barack Obama has pushed for $200M USD in "big data" spending.
[Image Source: Fits News]
The NSA claims "Perfect Citizen" is a research and development project, and not fully deployed. But EPIC
obtained documents
that "suggest the program is operational and confirmed, and that Raytheon was contracted to develop and deploy certain components."
By contrast RIOT takes a narrower aim at popular civilian internet activities. That means it will likely serve little use in combatting terrorists (who are unlikely to post, tweet, or "check-in" during their evil escapades). However, it does make the perfect tool for companies -- or governments -- to stalk citizens, and Raytheon is eager to turn that interest into sweet cash.
"If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion." -- Scientology founder L. Ron. Hubbard

JACKSON – Booneville has made itself at home in the MHSAA Class 3A championship game.
The Blue Devils are there for the third-straight year after a heart-stopping 56-48 overtime win against Forest in the state semifinals.
"We tell them all the time, they do some things we can't explain," Booneville coach Michael Smith said. "We can get a game that's just as intense in our own county."
Booneville (28-5) has a rematch with North champ Velma Jackson on Friday at 2:30 p.m.
The Blue Devils squandered an 11-point lead and trailed by two with less than 7 seconds left in regulation after a pair of Dequan Moore free throws.
Jack Nichols went to the rack, missed and Kenny Paul Geno grabbed the ball and laid it in at the buzzer to tie the game at 48.
"I thought Booneville had a great game plan. We've just got to get the rebound and that never happens," Forest coach Perry Flether said.
Geno finished with 23 points and 15 rebounds. Nichols had 17.
Booneville controlled the overtime with Nichols making the first tough basket before Geno connected a three-point play.
The three-ball kept Forest close in the fourth quarter. It hit six to Booneville's one for the game.
Geno had a pair of dunks in the opening 4 minutes as Booneville roared to an 8-3 lead.
Geno's third dunk, a perfectly-placed alley oop from Nichols, gave Booneville a 22-17 lead. Nichols went inside against three defenders for a 26-17 lead after three.
Smith chose not to call a timeout before the tying play in regulation. Nichols set it up with a drive to the rim.
"That's Kenny's thing with effort. It's just a will to win," Smith said. "We let them back in it. They started making shots from 22 and 23 feet."
Devadrick Carter led Forest (20-9) with 16 points.

'Zach & Willie' presents long-form improv
Posted December 23, 2009; 02:45 p.m.
"Zach & Willie," a long-form improvisational performance featuring senior Zach Zimmerman and junior Willie Myers, will be presented at 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 7, and 8 and 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Jan. 8-9, in the Class of 1970 Theater in Whitman College.
The performance, a senior thesis production, is sponsored by the Program in Theater in the Lewis Center for the Arts.
Although he had never done improv before his freshman year in college, Zimmerman accompanied a friend to an audition for Princeton's improv group Quipfire! and thought he would try it. Now in his fourth year with the comedy troupe, Zimmerman serves as its artistic director. (Myers currently is the managing director.)
On a tour with Quipfire!, Zimmerman first encountered the magic of long-form in Chicago, the mecca of improv. Zimmerman already had some writing experience through playwriting courses in the Lewis Center and as a writer and actor in Princeton's Triangle Club, where he met Myers, but his desire to pursue improvisational training would take him back to Chicago.
With funding from the Lewis Center and the Fred Fox '39 Fund, Zimmerman and Myers participated in a summer intensive program at Chicago's legendary iO theater (formerly ImprovOlympic), where many well-known comedians -- including Mike Myers, Chris Farley and Tina Fey -- have trained and performed. Through taking the course, seeing improv shows almost nightly (including the well-known two-person show "TJ and Dave," from which their title takes its form), and living together in a one-bedroom apartment, Zimmerman and Myers said they learned more about how to improvise and, more importantly, how to do so as a team. Zimmerman and Myers are using additional funding from the Fred Fox '39 Fund to return to Chicago over winter break to study in two-on-one workshops with expert performers and teachers Craig Uhlir and Rachael Mason.
Zimmerman, a religion major from Roanoke, Va., said he believes in the "improv gods": "They are the ones responsible for the verbal slip-up that becomes the game of a scene, and they are the ones in charge of how our bodies and chairs get randomly thrown on stage like the dice in a Yahtzee games. They give gifts to our scenes -- we just have to learn how to accept them."
Tickets for "Zach & Willie" are $5. They are available online through University Ticketing or by calling (609) 258-9220.

36 Gallon Bowfront Multi tank
We've decided to do a multi tank. It's a 36 gallon bowfront. We have a plant light (T5 dual) or just the factory light we can use? Do they like plants? I know sand, but do they like a finer sand or like the african sand (the black and white http://www.marinedepot.com/Caribsea_...0772-vi.html)? We have fairly hard, high pH water (although we are succesful breeders of rams, go figure). It has dual Aquaclear 70's running on the tank. what's the best to feed them (we feed our rams NLS cichlid pellets). What's a good number to start with of the multis? Are there top dwelling tank mates that are a good match? We do want to breed them so if not it's okay. Thank you, sorry for all the Questions, I'm pretty excited :)

During a normal monthly cycle, one of a woman's ovaries will produce a mature egg that will travel through the fallopian tube into the uterus. If sperm fertilizes this egg, the egg will attach itself to the uterine wall and begin developing into a fetus.
Barrier methods of birth control prevent pregnancy by making sure that sperm and egg do not meet.
The cervical cap is made of soft rubber and is designed to fit completely over the cervix. Spermicide is placed on the outer rim of the cap and in the portion of the cap facing the vagina. The cervical cap prevents pregnancy by blocking the sperm from entering the uterus.
The diaphragm is available by prescription only and must be fitted by a physician. Once the diaphragm is fitted, a woman can insert and remove it by herself. This dome-shaped rubber disk protects from pregnancy in two ways. The diaphragm blocks sperm from entering the cervix. Spermicide jelly placed inside the rubber dome before insertion will kill any sperm it comes in contact with. Once inserted, the diaphragm is effective for up to six hours.
The female condom is a lubricated polyurethane sheath, similar in appearance to a male condom. It is inserted into the vagina. The closed end covers the cervix. Like the male condom, it is intended for one-time use and then discarded.
The sponge is inserted by the woman into the vagina and covers the cervix blocking sperm from entering the cervix. The sponge also contains a spermicide that kills sperm. It is available without a prescription.

The first day was not really interesting -- the lectures were actually pretty boring, and hardly anything was going on. Not much to tell about it.
On the contrary, the second day was quite interesting. First of all, I held my lecture on network intrusion detection with cinderella. Many people attended my lecture, and tent A was almost full, although the lecture was at "high noon". The questions from the audience were quite good, and nobody was out to flame me. Unfortunately, I rushed through the lecture too quickly, so it actually took only 40 to 45 minutes, including the Q&A with the audience.
Other lectures I went to was the one about software patents by FFII, the SIMD hacking lecture by Felix von Leitner, the Hacker Jeopardy that was organized by `Sec` and the pretty weird Nazi UFOs lecture.
After that: social events! We partyed with the quintessenz guys, and it was definitely a good party. During that, some 2600 guy told us that there was a huge orgy going on in the cypherpunks tent, so we went there. All we found were about 10 people sitting around and chatting (IRL). Then, they showed us a pretty funny website: www.haXXXor.com. There you can buy a DVD showing hot women reading manpages, configuring Apache and describing installation from source while taking off their clothes. They showed this DVD at the OpenBSD tent. After that, we went back to quintessenz, had another beer, and then I went to bed.

Does this mean you, Julie, are starting up a seperate party? You know you can rely on Ken's vote, and it looks like several others too. How 'progressive' will you folks be? Are you leaning towards Ron Paul as your standard bearer...because I've always heard when you are robbing Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on complete approval and assistance from Paul.
What's incredibly sad about this entire tongue-in-cheek thread and the fun we are having with it, 1 Tulip has originated an analogy that is all to factual to be 'just' funny.
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
nothing is set in stone. imagine some scandal about Julie breaking the night before the erection.
It's one of the reason I never vote early/absentee. Unless I actually need to be absent.

I disagree that there needs to be a change. The chessy folks just need to step to the plate & do the job W/O Affirmative Action.
I have fond memories of Eloise with 70+ stitches in her arms when she went in the crate after Tiger, but her dogs competed with the best of them. & Hans Kuck's little dog thought he was a labrador, what a performer. & I didn't see them all, apparently IRC had a contingent of loyal chessie people before my time in the sport.
So I represent the other side, who believes you need to get better hiring practices. But the damn things do stink when wet .

I'm thinking it has to be the Chessies who deface trial grounds with all that gang-graffiti. I've heard it said they can't win the FT, but they'll win the fight afterwards.
Just kidding, just kidding! Why... some of my best friends are Chessies. I mean, they're fine dogs and all. Wouldn't want my little girl to marry one, you know... but... I'm not prejudiced or anything. Long as they know they're place and all. I'm just sayin'
Hey, Any one here know what dog was the first FC retriever? How about the first DC retriever? What breed dominated the Trials before the labs got their affirmative action imposed by the blind retrieve?
Just saying.

Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek today offers up the findings of his quarterly survey of the smartphone, tablet and PC markets, writing that Apple's (AAPL) sales of the iPhone are slowing, that Samsung Electronics's (005930KS) sales of its Galaxy S4 are about as expected, that sales of BlackBerry's (BBRY) Q10 handset are doing better than expected, and that sales of "white box," off-brand smartphones and tablets "continue explosive growth."
Misek's survey inquired about sales of the top models of smartphone and tablet, customer interest by brand, customer satisfaction, and was posed by telephone to retailers and carriers in the U.S., U.K., France and Germany, with half the participants in the U.S. He does not discuss the sample size, telling me in a note that "It is not by individual store but rather entire chain or region," and "by actual carrier or an anonymous basis."
His overall impression seems to be that prices are coming down, according to respondents' views, and that volume shipment expectations are coming down:
Survey participants' optimism on pricing (i.e. belief that smartphone pricing will come down) remains quite high at 58%, we believe optimism is likely to increase in coming quarters as we expect white-box devices to infiltrate developed markets. Volume optimism dropped significantly from 68% in the previous survey to 48%. Samsung now eclipses Apple in our surveyed countries for the first time and is taking share.
Misek offers the following graphic showing what he believes is the overall smartphone shift to lower-priced models (click for larger image):
For Apple, Misek sees the current quarter sell-through of the iPhone trending down from Q1′s level:
Our checks indicate iPhone sell-through is trending downward (Jun Q ~30M vs. Mar Q of 35M). Sep Q build plans firmed up at 40M-45M, giving us confidence in a Sep launch. iPad minis are cannibalizing more than expected. We expect a refreshed iPad lineup with iPad mini 2 (retina display) in Oct.
Misek thinks Apple will build 25 million to 30 million of the rumored lower-cost iPhone will be built for the December quarter, about half the 60 million to 65 million iPhone units in total he thinks Apple is building, according to his channel checks.
Misek sees the iPad mini comprising a greater proportion of iPad production going forward:
We believe iPad mini builds are 15M-20M (Jun Q), 25M-30M (Sep Q), and 35M-40M (Dec Q). Our prior check indicated total iPad builds of 20M-25M (Jun Q), indicating a large majority of production is for iPad mini. We expect an Oct launch for the full-size iPad, iPad mini, and lowered prices on the original iPad mini. We expect the "iPad 5" to be around half the weight and 30% to 40% thinner. We believe iPad mini 2 will have retina display. We believe the original iPad mini will be kept and the price points will be lowered by $50 to $100.
For Samsung, Misek's colleague Sandeep Bajikar, who rates the stock a Buy, with a ₩2,100,000 price target, writes that the company is providing a "compelling alternative" to the iPhone, and "Together with Samsung's manufacturing cost advantage and Best Buy presence, we expect Samsung's ecosystem advantage to translate into share gains of Smartphone profits." The company is providing "Smart-Switch" software to make it easy for iPhone users to switch, he notes.
Those qualities, writes Misek, are helping the Galaxy S4 sell "in line with aggressive projections … builds were for 70M to 80M," while the company may sell 70 million to 80 million smartphones per quarter this year "as low-end volumes explode" for cheaper handsets.
Misek cites data from his colleague Cynthia Meng who had conversations with management of China-based carriers China Telecom (CHA) and China Unicom (CHU), and notes the appeal of Samsung models versus the iPhone, especially with the lower subsidy cost they have to endure:
The handset subsidies to CDMA service revenue ratio was 28% in 1Q13 and mgmt guided 24% for FY13E, +60 basis points YoY. CT (China Telecom) is already seeing a decline in Apr/May mainly due to the introduction of high-end Samsung smartphones (e.g. Galaxy S4) that have a lower subsidies-to-sales ratio compared to iPhone. Samsung's smartphone features including large screen and dual mode dual SIM have led to increasing popularity amongst users vs. iPhone. Mid-end dual mode dual SIM handsets (priced at approx. RMB2K/handset) prove to be popular […] Similar to China Telecom, CU is seeing increasing popularity of Samsung vs. iPhone amongst users and competition in mid-range smartphones is very severe.
For BlackBerry, Misek notes sales of the Z10 handset have tapered off since their debut in February, but the Q10 is proving a better seller, and that sales remain strong in markets outside the U.S., U.K., and Canada:
Sales of Z10 in consumer markets have slowed, some businesses still evaluating; Q10 launch in our view has been better than Z10 and better than expected; Sales of BB10 outside of US, UK, and Canada very strong.
The Q10 may help BlackBerry beat Street expectations for total sales of BB10-based devices both in the quarter that ended last month and in the August quarter, writes Misek: "We believe 3M+ BB10 devices in the May quarter, Street is ~3M; 3M+ expected for August quarter. We believe it may be materially higher."
Misek notes that BlackBerry's production, according to his checks, have risen lately for the first time in a month, which could be attributable to the forthcoming lower-priced "Q5" handset, due this summer, although he offers it could also be attributable to higher-than-expected Q10 demand.
Misek notes that sales of the older BB7 handsets are "decelerating more than expected," which he thinks would be positive for BlackBerry's profit margin, as the company has been losing money on each unit.
Lastly, Misek notes that AT&T (T) and Verizon Communications (VZ) appear to be set to bring low-cost, no-name-brand smartphones to the U.S.:
We believe AT&T and Verizon are in discussions with Chinese white-box OEMs to bring carrier-branded smartphones to the U.S. market. We believe the introduction of low-cost smartphones to the major U.S. carriers could lead to major subsidy cuts. We believe tablet growth has been almost all from white-box tablets and as a result raise our 2013 estimates to 100M units.

President Trump, his fossil fuel administration, and anti-conservationists in Congress are attacking America's public lands!
Donate today and help save America the beautiful. Your gift today could be what stands between our public lands and Big Oil's drills.
What an amazing year for wilderness --both in good and strange ways.
The Wilderness Society raised a glass this year for a very special golden anniversary, the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act.
After years of Congressional inaction on conservation issues, 2014 turned out to be a time to celebrate.
Shell's disastrous 2012 drilling season in the Arctic Ocean looks worse than ever now that one of its major contractors has agreed to plead guilty to eight felonies committed during that year's work.
The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management recently issued an analysis predicting that Lease Sale 193 in the Arctic Ocean's Chukchi Sea—if developed—has a 75 percent chance of a large oil spill. Amazingly, the agency is proceeding with Shell's plans to drill there.
So you're thinking about taking your hiking adventures to the next level?
Congress has heeded the call of people across the country and acted to protect some of our most precious wild places for future generations.
Timeline of Shell Blunders
Hundreds of people showed up to a public meeting with federal officials in Salida, Colorado, to voice their support for protecting Browns Canyon, an area in southern Colorado well known for its whitewater rafting, fishing and outdoor recreation.
Trump is already checking off the oil and gas industry's wish list and now his anti-conservation partners in Congress are following in kind. Stand up to them!

I was thinking of getting a flyaway model as a backup because it sounds like the tube models are on their way out. So I got to thinking maybe I ought to get a 500. The problem is that I really like my flyawy and never really warmed up to the all the levels on continuous. Especially after talking to a good field trial pro that said he never really used continuous on a dog. He always just used his finger or thumb as the control.
Thoughts and comments welcome.

Story The story of Clannad after story is probably the best romance story I have ever seen (if not just the best). It rips your heart out and plays with it like a toy, but it's okay, you will like it. The way it brings focus to, almost, ordinary things in life with just a little twist and still manages to nail you to your seat.

With LinkedIn (LNKD) expected to report third-quarter earnings next month, the Street's estimates are once again running ahead of the company's guidance, but with more enthusiasm that previous quarters, writes Wedge Partners analyst Martin Pyykkonen.
The consensus revenue estimate for the third quarter is $385 million, about 4.1% ahead of LinkedIn's guidance, up from a 2.7% gap in the previous quarter. Pyykkonen does expect the company to exceed its revenue estimate, but he's modeling for $374 million. As for adjusted EBITDA, he's modeling for $82.5 million, the mid-point of the company's $81-$83 million guidance, but again below the $90 average estimate on the Street.
Despite being less enthusiastic in his estimates than his peers, Pyykkonen is upbeat about LinkedIn's prospects, writing that the company should benefit from ongoing penetration in the U.S. and abroad, new products and offerings, and its strong competitive moat.
We think LNKD can sustain a mid/high 40s percent total revenue growth rate with gradually increasing EBITDA margin into the high 20s percent range through 2015, based just on the company's current main revenue drivers (e.g., Talent Solutions software licensing, Marketing Solutions – advertising, and Premium Subscriptions). Our model includes LNKD reaching 27.6% adjusted EBITDA margin for full year 2015. LNKD could push the EBITDA margin further upwards (nearly 60% of revenue is a software licensing model), but we expect the company to invest in product and geographic growth, which will keep adjusted EBITDA margin no higher than their long term target of ~30%.
Pyykkonen writes that the company could open new sales offices in several major cities, and that its new sales navigator, based portfolio of software products, "has upside growth potential in the corporate enterprise market, which in many ways should have a similar growth and customer penetration pattern as has been seen with LNKD's Talent Solutions and specifically with the recruiter product. It seems likely to us that the sales navigator will evolve into a portfolio of multiple products centered around sales and marketing activities." He notes that LinkedIn's Talent Solutions products should enjoy more pricing leverage in the coming years.
