I measure 10.5 US narrow (Branock) - 10UK often loose (to much volume). Ordered the 44/11US - my foot is totally scrunched in the booty. Contraction/concept looks good. Trek - know your product and provide decent sizing guidance. We all expect trial and error whe ordering over the web. Sizing on these is pure error - not even in the neighborhood. Waste of your time and mine.

I have had the shoe for 2 months in a variety of conditions all of which the shoe excelled in. My foot stayed dry in puddles and pouring rain. This week was -8F and with liner sock, baggie and thick wool sock with toe heater insert my toes did not freeze ! With the liner booty your foot has room to wiggle and stay warm. I love it as it feels like a mtb shoe and not a big hiking boot. I do not like other high ankle straps and stiff boots as it restricts my foot movement for balance. It feels comfortable to be able to jump off and run around obstacles. Other winter boots are hard to walk in, these are flexible and do not restrict your movement. If you are riding the Arrowhead, maybe the 45north is a better option but for ripping single track snow trails I could not be happier. Also, you can keep the spd cleat centered so that there is less stress on your knees and hips. Other winter boots have you move the cleat more outside so your boot does not hit the crank. The sizing is off, I wear a us 11 shoe but went with a size 46. After a ride it is great to walk around in the warm booties.

Memories of Ostern (Easter) in Teplitz, Bessarabia
By Alfred Opp, Vancouver, British Columbia
In my village of Teplitz, Easter was the holiest time of the year. As springtime arrived, so also did the early flowers and the greening of the trees. It was a happy time. It was also a time to remember to cleanse our souls and appreciate all the good things we continually received.
Easter also was a time to remember the loved ones that had passed away. We remembered that life was given to us to live in God's name and that we had been saved and forgiven from our sins by Jesus Christ. To arouse our conscience, the season started a few weeks ahead of Easter with "Fastensonntag" or Fasting-Sunday - a time to hold back on lust and pleasures in respect of our holy commitment. Then came "Palmsonntag" or Palm Sunday which was a special day in the church.
The time just before Easter was spent in many preparations. For example, men cleaned up the yard and white washed the buildings, the women baked Easter Bread and colored the eggs. The house received a spring cleaning. Then came Gruendonnerstag" the Thursday before Good Friday which found all the village work and common activities completely shut down. Folks visited the Graveyard to put their last touch on the graves for Easter. Our "Friedhof" (cemetery) in Teplitz looked like a park - it was simply beautiful with all the plants and flowers decorating the graves.
Easter was not all tears and sorrow. The children seeded a plate with grass for the Easter Rabbit. Mom told us kids that when the grass had grown to a height of 6 inches the Easter Bunny would appear on the window sill to present goodies for those children who had been brave. So we kids placed the plate on the window sill and waited. I can so well remember thinking, Why does the grass grow soooo slow!
On Good Friday the church held services were well attended. So many faces were in attendance that were otherwise rarely seen that the place was packed. On that Good Friday every woman was dressed in black with everybody solemnly thinking of Jesus suffering on the cross for our sins. Tears could be seen on many faces during the service. It was a moving experience. No meat was eaten on Good Friday.
After the Friday services, everyone went to the graveyard to share their thoughts about loved ones who weren't here but were still in our hearts. This perpetuated a wonderful family bond of love and appreciation. For the entire day common activities and celebrations were kept to a minimum.
Saturday was a day of normal activities. After church on Easter Sunday, children got up early to check their Easter nest to see what the /Osterhase /(Easter Rabbit) had brought them. After breakfast, the family went to church. After the church service ended, people once again went to the /Friedhof/ (cemetery) in memory of the loved ones long gone. The day continued with a festive family dinner, typically lamb roast with sweet rice and trimmings. Then followed the visiting of relatives where coffee and "Suessbrot" or "Hefazopf" (an Easter Bread) was served. Small children ran around happy in their play and the young folks went out to the pasture to play an Easter Egg game. In later years (after WWI), the young people concluded the day with a folk dance.
We celebrated Easter both in respect for our religious beliefs, and at the same time we celebrated the arrival of spring. The observance of the old traditions passed down by our ancestors were very much the core of how we observed the occasion. We thank God for the good times we had and the feelings we so fondly shared with our family members and friends.
To this day, Easter remains for us a lasting gift of spirit and devotion. Happy Easter to all.
Alfred Opp is the author of "Pawns on the World Stage" - the memoirs of his childhood in Teplitz, Bessarabia and the experiences of his family in war-torn Europe (Poland during 1941-1945 before they fled to East Germany in 1945, then the reconstruction of West Germany 1945-1955).

Sandy barrels into shoreline
Buffeted by wind gusts from Hurricane Sandy approaching 80 mph and facing a ferocious tidal surge that caused flooding along the shoreline from Old Saybrook to Westerly, hundreds of southeastern Connecticut residents flowed into local emergency shelters Monday, hoping that the homes they had left behind would remain intact overnight.
Flooding risk along the shoreline was expected to be highest during high tides at 10 p.m. Monday and 10 a.m. today in New London.
At 7 p.m. Monday, streets in Stonington borough quickly flooded, and the village was cut off from the mainland. Emergency officials worked to set up a makeshift shelter at the borough firehouse for residents who were trapped by the flood waters. The shelter was set up on the second floor because the first floor was flooded.
"The borough is an island right now. There's nothing we can do about it," Director of Emergency Preparedness George Brennan said.
Flooding and downed wires and trees were making it almost impossible for emergency personnel to get around town. "A lot of this town is isolated right now. We're in dire straits if we have to get a firefighter or police officer anywhere," Brennan said.
Also Monday, the roof of the Quality Inn in Mystic peeled off, and water leaked into the building and flowed into the electrical system.
Officials across the region were most concerned Monday about coastal flooding and downed trees. But today, the biggest problem may be the lack of electricity for the thousands of residents who lost power Monday.
As of 9:30 p.m., Connecticut Light & Power reported 475,839 customers were without power, about 38 percent of the total households served by the utility. Thousands more were expected to lose electricity before the storm finished delivering its worst by Monday evening.
In southeastern Connecticut, the hardest-hit communities were East Lyme, Stonington, Montville, Waterford, Groton, New London, North Stonington, Salem and
"Everybody is affected," CL&P spokesman Mitch Gross said.
NL, Stonington hard hit
At his 6 p.m. briefing, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy reported that the New London and Stonington areas experienced the worst hurricane wind lashings in the state, with ferocious gusts as high as 80 mph, and the highest number of power outages.
"Southeastern Connecticut seems to be the most heavily impacted," Malloy said.
Malloy had ordered that all major roadways be closed off to non-emergency vehicles by 1 p.m. Monday. New London followed suit, with Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio ordering that city streets also be closed to non-emergency vehicles by 1 p.m.
"To put it in perspective, we're talking about twice as much water in Long Island Sound than in Irene," he said.
"I'm not going to mince words," Malloy said. "This is the most catastrophic event that we have faced and been able to plan for in any of our lifetimes."
Hundreds of people checked into American Red Cross shelters throughout the region as of midday Monday. Many of the evacuees were fleeing from homes affected by warnings of flooding, which quickly became reality Monday.
In East Lyme, Atlantic Street and Shore Road were flooded. Main Street at Cini Park was closed, as was Route 156 at the Niantic River bridge. Oil Mill Road in Waterford was closed by emergency personnel. Groton Town police reported that Water Street and River Road near Route 27 had flooded.
Dozens of other roads in the region were blocked by downed trees and live wires.
Monday morning's high tide inundated parts of downtown Mystic, flooding the public parking area and portions of the riverside docks and streets along the Mystic River. Downtown shops, sandbags stacked at their entrances, were closed, and the Mystic River was creeping precariously close to the drawbridge.
Outside the Tradewinds Gallery on West Main Street, John Sarpu made some last-minute preparations, covering the glass entrance with plywood. Sarpu works for Jerome Properties, which owns several downtown buildings.
He said awnings had been cranked in and signs removed. Along with plywood and sandbags, he was using silicone to fill in some of the cracks where water could seep in.
On the Stonington side of the Mystic River, onlookers gathered near the flooded park to watch the water rise. Mystic resident Kathy Gauthier snapped some photos of what she said was "history in the making."
"I grew up here, and I've never seen it like this," she said.
Gauthier said even her mother, who lived through the Hurricane of 1938, said she was impressed by the height of the water.
In New London, the Cross Sound Ferry parking lot and Water Street were under water, and the city's animal shelter was crushed by a downed tree. Docks along Pequot Avenue were under water even as low tide approached and winds gusted over 50 mph Monday afternoon.
Both the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and the Naval Submarine Base were closed Monday.
Electric Boat closed all three shifts — the first time since the February 2010 blizzard. Robert Hamilton, company spokesman, said no significant damage had been reported at the shipyard.
Unit 3 at the Millstone Power Station reduced its power to 75 percent Monday and installed flood barriers around the plant.
Ken Holt, spokesman for Millstone owner Dominion, said Unit 3 will be better able to handle any storm surges that could affect its intake water system at a lower power output. The lower output will also ensure that the plant would not destabilize the regional power grid if the plant has to shut down due to Hurricane Sandy, he said.
Day Staff Writers Joe Wojtas and Jennifer McDermott contributed to this story.
Municipal damage adds up to $288,000 for Stonington in wake of Sandy
Will you be leaving the house today?
No. I have everything I need.
Yes. I have to work.
Yes. I need groceries.
Yes. I need gas.
Yes. I'll be checking out the storm surge.

Copyright in Education
Your district may be breaking copyright laws and not even know it. Here's how to protect yourself from liability.
Many of your students are criminals. Some of your teachers may be as well.
Because of the perverse nature of modern copyright law in the United States, few of us in the education system can get by without, at least on occasion, infringing the rigid rules of copyright. By nature, children and educators want to share with each other. Unfortunately, that often works against us. Making a copy of a digital file has never been easier, but at the same time that content has never been more protected.
Schools and educators are naturally vulnerable when any of these laws are broken. Fortunately, by following a few simple guidelines, schools can protect themselves and help ensure they'll come out on the right side of any copyright-related litigation.
A Primer on Copyright
Today's copyright law protects works for 70 years after the death of the author, or longer (up to 120 years) if the work was done for a business or school. To put it simply, the small bit of PHP script that you might have written for a school application earlier this year is protected under the school's ownership until 2108--at least. When you share that script openly without the school's permission, you're likely violating the school's copyright interest in that work.
Luckily, not all works fall under copyright protection. While a standard copyright statement is the default protection for newly created work--such a statement typically appears automatically on websites, for example--authors can choose to release their work to the public domain through a free-to-use license (commonly known in the tech world as "open source"), or they may choose a different form of protection more catered to their particular interests.
The Creative Commons method of protecting authorship rights falls between open source and full copyright protection. Using the Creative Commons license, an author can choose to seek attribution, limit modifications, prohibit commercial uses, or demand that others similarly share any work derived from the protected material. For schools, these options provide useful ways to share their own work but also convenient ways to avoid copyright violations in work produced by their teachers and students. It is important to remember, though, that these alternatives are only opt-in presently. It is up to the user to understand the specific license on any work before making copies.
While these alternatives are useful, their application is still very limited. Standard copyright protection still applies to the vast majority of books, videos, images, and software--virtually all the content that schools use to aid in teaching. Some flexibility on copyright has been provided over the years, and schools have benefited in two distinct ways. First, the doctrine of "fair use" covers the broad flexibility offered to journalists and educators. Copyright law now codifies a four-part test that has been developed through court challenges to copyright. The commercial purpose of the use, the nature of the work, the amount copied, and the market effect are balanced to determine whether fair use applies.
These elements of the broader copyright test should be guiding principles for schools, as they can always serve as a shield to potential copyright violations. But even within these relatively simple criteria, the situation in schools can quickly become complex. Because of the problematic nature of copyright in schools, Congress has actually used a back door to provide additional guidance for educators. Congressional testimony in the 1970s, which has been published by the US Copyright Office as educational guidelines, is fairly specific--though at times arguably arbitrary. Schools, though, have translated these guidelines into local copyright policies that can be extremely specific.
For instance, Omaha (NE) Public Schools' copyright guidelines permit the use of only 250 words from a poem, 1,000 words from a book, three minutes of a video, 30 seconds of a song, or five images from a collective work. These local copyright policies have been known to stretch on for pages, though, and in this ever-changing digital environment, trying to guess at every potential copyright opportunity is becoming impossible. Nevertheless, both fair use and the educational guidelines do provide some flexibility to schools in using copyrighted material.
For technologists, though, the analysis does not end with the Copyright Act. Congress has also passed laws on interacting with new digital technologies. In the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Congress provided some protection to service providers when users of their networks commit copyright violations. This law protects a school against liability from violations committed by students or teachers. To receive protection under this act, schools must comply with a list of requirements, such as developing a policy and complying with both "take-down" and "put-back" notices. Oakland Schools in Michigan provides an example of a school policy on DMCA. If your school does not currently have a DMCA policy, you should adopt one and follow the requirements to take advantage of the protections afforded by this law.
Congress has also passed some guidance and protections for schools as they move toward online teaching and learning. In the Technology, Education, and Copyright Harmonization (TEACH) Act of 2002, Congress provided flexibility in the temporary storage and dissemination of copyrighted materials for distance learning. Essentially, the issue is that much teaching in the classroom relies on copyrighted material, but the teaching itself does not create an actual copy (and thus does not violate the law). A teacher passing a legally obtained book around the class, for instance, is relying on a copyrighted work but is not making a copy. A similar activity from an online teacher, though, would result in a copyright violation, since many online teaching platforms rely on the uploading--and thus, copying--of files. The TEACH Act provides the online teacher with the same general ability as on-site teachers in showing copyrighted information in very limited circumstances.
6 Tips for Staying Copyright Compliant
The vast majority of copyright violations go unnoticed and unprosecuted. There has only been limited litigation against educational institutions for copyright violations and, generally, cases have more frequently been brought against colleges and universities. However, the Copyright Act is law, and to ensure not only compliance for your school, but also your students, you cannot ignore it. Some practical tips for school officials to consider in complying with copyright include the following:

- British GP - Qualifying
Red Bull apologises to Ricciardo
Red Bull has apologised to Daniel Ricciardo at the British Grand Prix after its decision not to send him out for a second run in the final session of qualifying.
After the first runs in Q3, Ricciardo was fourth fastest but Red Bull opted not to send him out for a second run on the assumption the track conditions had got worse. However, those that did venture out found up to four seconds of lap time in the final sector, which Ricciardo had not thought was possible.
"I didn't expect it to go quicker at the end of the session there, as the rain kept coming," he said. "We really thought the track wouldn't get quicker, [Sebastian] Vettel only went out as he didn't have a time at that point. We have to learn from it I guess - I'm gobsmacked how much faster the circuit got, it must dry a lot quicker here than I thought. We'll move forwards from there tomorrow."
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner apologised to Ricciardo for not sending him out.
"Unfortunately we misjudged the conditions at the end of Q3, so apologies to Daniel, he didn't go again as he had already set a time. With both cars well up the field on a mixed up grid for tomorrow, hopefully we can have a strong race from there."

Another persuasive argument from Carol Wainio, who, beyond providing a stellar illustration of the value of independent academia, is making a convincing case for herself as a national treasure.
In her latest post, Prof. Wainio takes issue with the participation of disgraced Globe columnist Margaret Wente on the jury for the Gelber Prize — a supposedly prestigious award presented by the Gelber Foundation and the University of Toronto's Munk School for Global Affairs. With all this academic and financial star power, one would think academic integrity would be a prerequisite for all involved. As Prof. Wainio argues:
Don't universities take strong public standards against plagiarism? What would the University of Toronto or The Munk School (partners in the award) do with students who engaged in these practices?
Having documented repeated instances of, at the very least, sloppy attribution or "originality problems" from Wente, it's entirely in order for Prof. Wainio to be raising such a question. She goes on, however, to compare another column from Wente to recent work from Walter Russell Mead and fellow Globe columnist Gary Mason, and to note Wente's evident "efficiency" in using the same material for two columns two weeks apart.
Well, we can't fault Wente for her embrace of the 3 Rs. But, as Prof. Wainio points out:
Are these as serious as past instances? No. But they do reflect a kind of practice, a habit, and dare one say, a kind of entitlement. Given all that, and what was pretty universally described as the dreadful way Ms. Wente and her editors dealt with the more serious instances, one has to wonder why the Gelber Prize, the University of Toronto and the Munk School chose to rely so heavily on jurors associated with that particular newspaper ...
I've already pointed out the invaluable work Prof. Wainio does in providing the quality control that the senior editors of the Globe apparently refuse to do. It's particularly salient in this case, given both Wente and Mead's professed disdain for the kind of free and independent inquiry supposedly ensured by the institution of academic tenure, but it's even more valuable for the context it provides. Since it's clear that we're not going to get any critical analysis of Wente's, er, "work" from the Globe, Prof. Wainio's observations are essential as a reality check. They give readers the information they need in order to understand what they're getting from Wente.
And moreover, they put a rather jarring spotlight on the ideological and managerial decisions being taken in the executive suites on Front Street. It's not as if the warnings aren't there; while I'm not rushing to embrace the National Putz, Chris Selley raised several questions about the Globe's handling of the Wente scandal and its implications for the Gelber Prize in another essay late last week:
The Globe didn't seem bothered about being seen to do anything, and I think it wound up leaving a widespread impression that it did nothing ... Maybe some principles are worth bending if sticking to them upsets the official Canadian chattering class hierarchy in which Margaret Wente plays house contrarian.
Nothing new about the smug, oblivious attitude the Globe appears to be taking toward this, or its condescending dismissal of mere "bloggers." It goes hand-in-hand with Wente's cringe-inducing poor-me non-apology in September.
What's left, however, are lingering questions about the Globe's credibility — questions which only grow more insistent the longer the Front Street brain trust tries to pretend they're not there.
(For even better takes on this, please read thwap and Sixth Estate.)

Rationing became a way of life for people on the home front during World War II (WWII), from 1941-1945, affecting everything from the quantity and kind of food people ate to the clothes they wore. This is the cover sheet for a ration book of fuel oil coupons, or stamps, issued to Caryll Crafts of South Deerfield, Massachusetts, by the South Deerfield Ration Board. Mr. Crafts was granted 140 gallons of fuel oil to be delivered between September 1, 1945 and September 9, 1946. Note the self-sacrificing, patriotic image captioned "I'm in this fight, TOO." This assures Mr. Crafts that he is doing his part for the war effort when he turns down his thermostat, thus saving oil for the troops.

Hola, Namaste, Hello! Mobile AppsPreviously there were different Operating Systems, then came different browsers and now we different application development ecosystems, and just looking at the mobile ecosystem, we can see that there is so much difference among the different service providers, OEM manufacturers and merely the smartphone itself. In the mobile space, there is the iOS platform, the Android platform and the recently released and hopefully catching up Windows Phone OS. Take a look at the difference in the foursquare application on the different platforms.
|The Foursquare Mobile application on the iOS platform
|The Android Platform running the Foursquare application (notice the tabs on the top as compared to the iOS's at the bottom)
|The Windows Phone Ecosystem presents a completely different application ecosystem.
What it means
Now each platform promises a different approach to building applications, the iOS has tabs, navigation bars etc. while the windows phone os has panorama and pivot based applications. These are not just different looking but completely different in the way of the functionality as well. Since of course the user only cares about the application experience, the underlying layer of functionality might not be visible to him/her. This is because once you get too acquainted to a system of doing things on your smart phone or mobile device, you just get it. It's about learning a new language, you don't have to figure out the syntax and semantics of the language when you become fluent in it. Thus, any significant deviation from a particular convention of display on a particular device will cause issues with the set of users on that particular device, they would either need to get familiar to the application design or completely settle for another similar cloned app because it just looks good.
For developers this means writing apps in multiple platforms and multiple languages. There are various frameworks available to speed up the process and of course regular debates about whether HTML5 is the new standard or whether one should switch to a native way of writing code for a platform application. Although I am not really interested in the debate part, I am definitely interested in the different mergers and fusions this is bringing about. One of them is Parse which is trying to change the face of mobile development by taking care of the backend for the apps. The biggest challenge to adopting such a development strategy is that it is very good for small apps, apps like instagrm where the functionality is less and all the app does is data transfer to and fro, very few relationship management on the server side among the data objects. For bigger applications and more complicated ones, I am not sure if Parse can be put to test. Another is Titanium, which uses HTML5, CSS and Javascript to structure the application. However with Titanium you get a CSS feel and the application feels like a mobile clone of a website and deviates miles away from any of the platform guides on user experience like Apple's or Microsoft's. Same is the case with Phonegap or Apache Cordova (As it is called now) or Jquery Mobile or Adobe's new Flex technology.
The problem remains the same, one cannot get a native feel with using technologies like CSS, HTML and javascript.
What should be done
I think before thinking about what should be done, one needs to realize that there is a problem. We can agree that maintaining multiple application platforms is a pain, while people (Mac users and Windows users) love the Office 13 preview released recently they cannot help blame Microsoft for not updating the Mac application at the same time as the Windows application. And the mobile application ecosystem is exploding as we speak. Android is pushing interface changes regularly while Apple is staying the same with more features and shortcuts being added with each version of iOS. Microsoft is the new player with it's new Metro design philosophy. We can agree that not one of these players is going to completely dominate the market.
In my my opinion there needs to be evolution in the form of an abstraction, which separates the templating engine from the logic code. This would mean that the logic code consisting of core libraries, networks, login support, offline processing, notification management etc. can be shared between the different platforms, while another set of code and libraries do the rendering based on the different type of device platforms they encounter. It can look radically different, but at least since the core libraries are shared, the functionality can be made available to different platforms. It just needs to be written, accessed anywhere. Much akin to Java byte code philosophy. Let's say you come up with a new feature of tagging comments and putting them into a stack organized by good, bad tags etc. So you can abstract out that feature and put it in a core library. That way, a Windows Phone OS developer does not need to worry about that feature having bugs. All he needs to do is make sure the view code calls the library with the appropriate parameters.
Where does this leads to?
Ideally I would like to see a mixture of Adobe Flex and Parse. Flex allows developers to share code between different device platforms and that is something that really cuts the work of developers try to hunt for a bug which might be caused by the platform itself. Parse can do the shared code part very effectively although I am a bit skeptical the limit to which Parse can be stretched. Still the common code part (Network Management, Login Support etc.) is pretty cool and cuts down the boiler plate code a person needs to write for different devices.
Write Once, Access Anywhere. Any takers?

Will and I took a trip to the YMCA Trout Lodge near Potosi, MO two weeks ago. We were arriving in celebration of Will's parents' anniversary. It was just what we needed. We were able to see his wonderful family and disconnect from our everyday lives for a couple days. It was beautiful at this lodge!
The first day was spent just enjoying the family and focusing on what is most important. The next day was spent saying goodbyes and then exploring a little with our cameras before going back to Nashville. It was the first time in quite a while that I picked up my film camera. It was the first time that I really worked hard at learning how to use it. I used some "play" film I bought at Urban Outfitters and a light meter to try things out. I also wrote the camera settings I used for each photograph I took. [The main goal with this roll was exposure. I wanted to focus on learning that because I already knew this camera had its issues. This was my dad's camera for many, many years (He loves photography, too!). He gave it to me as a Christmas gift two years ago. While it is my only camera right now and a prized possession, there is something wrong with the focus. Yes, I realize that it is all manual but my Dad and I have both noticed something off about it. Also, there are light leaks. Anyway, I say all this to acknowledge the fact that some of these photographs are just not focused right. However, they still make me so happy when I look at them. This is what I have to look back on from our trip. Focused or not, they are special. :)]
Will was there to help me a bit. He is so patient and has been great about answering even the silliest questions I have.
We spent about an hour at the lodge and then started making our way toward TN.
I didn't finish the whole roll. I'll be honest, I don't like wasting exposures just to finish a roll. I want to really work on my skill (I totally said that in a Napoleon Dynamite voice.) and taking no-good photos just to be done with a roll seems silly to me. Anyway, I waited to use up the rest of the film until a trip out to a lake area near our apartment a few days later. It was rainy and everything seemed to have a fog to it.
I felt completely at peace. I realized that afternoon that I didn't have to drive hours away to get the same feeling I had at that lodge. I could rest at home, too. :)

(visited by nya)
21-Aug-2004 -- Some notes for 47N 105E which is my unsuccessful visit. After confluence 47N 104E, I headed to N47 E105 near lake and
town. I approached from north west to south east, heading Buren town. Along power line, rock mountain at left hand,
earth road runs near of the confluence N47 E105. For my stupidness, I set GPS to N47 E104.59'. Going valley between mountains,
riding over rocks and holes, I got there but found the point is wrong.
True confluence is located about 1.6km from there but there was high rock mountain which could not
be crossed. The sun is setting, and while seeking I fell down to big talbagan hole with my motorcycle, I quit searching.
Some maps show the mountain is not so big and one can go around the mountain to get the confluence, but there is no
trustable map of Monglia, I am not certain this is right or wrong. I should seek more but I did not. How damepocchi!
After stayed a night near N47 E106,
I go toward north east to this confluence N47 E106, on the road from Erdenedalay to Ulaanbaatar. The road is one of main road and
there are a lot of holes and muds, which is not good for motorcycle. Near beautiful rock mountain, I got some water
from guanz, kiosk of mongolia. The last confluence of the trip is a little way ahead.
The area is steppe with tall grasses near hill, in sight there is power line and main road.

Kiss Me's brand, Heroine Make is not one to be ignored – they make, for example, absolutely brilliant Eyelash Curlers and Liquid Eyeliner!
As mentioned before, I am not the best at applying fake eyelashes. I usually want to get them perfect but I can't even get them on half wonky….its a hard life.
Plus I have sensitive eyes. I have realised that I am totally allergic to Shu Uemura's Eyelash Glue (burning pain!) so I choose carefully these days.
I thought this Eyelash Glue was quite cool:
It cost about £6 from Adambeauty.com.
What's very interesting about this is the consistency – its runny, almost watery which is nothing like other eyelash glues I've used before. At first its a little disconcerting but then I came to realise – its thin but perfectly strong!
With the angled brush applicator you really only need a tiny bit. There are some distinct advantages to this eyelash fixer or glue once you get used to the texture…
1. Its light so you don't apply too much which I always do with traditional glue
2. It get tacky almost right away. Not standing around wafting lashes to wait for it to get tacky, you can pretty much stick away
3. Because its so light it really is invisible – I've used glue before that says its invisible but I can still see bits of it poking out
4. I didn't get any allergies using this
5. There's none of that sticky trail when you pull your lashes off like what you get when you use a latex glue – thus your lashes last a few more wears.
The brush is pretty handy for apply lashes and also topping up the corners.
All in all, I wasn't expecting to find an "exciting" eyelash glue but this one is rather fab and has made my job a little easier.
Japanese brands tend to lead the way – who knows maybe this is how lash glues will progress! I'm tres happy with this product!

Kickboxing to a Better, Fitter You
Whether you are just starting your fitness journey or looking for something new, why not give kickboxing a try? I believe the biggest reason why people have not tried this effective workout is due to fear. Sometimes people are afraid of stepping outside of their normal workout routine. Just the word itself seems to intimidate people, and they automatically say no before allowing themselves to experience it first hand. This exciting workout has changed my entire life both physically and mentally.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I gained over 65 pounds! After my son was born, I realized that I wasn't happy with the person I let myself become during my pregnancy. I was determined more than ever to get into shape and start a new healthy lifestyle. A very close friend of mine suggested 9Round, a 30 minute kickboxing fitness gym. I still remember my first workout. I was extremely nervous. Everyone else seemed to know what they were doing, and I thought I was the only one in there with no kickboxing experience. That was also the same day I kicked my fitness routine into full force (no pun intended)! Walking into that gym was the best decision I ever made for myself. Here are a few ways kickboxing will help you reach your fitness goals!
It's only 30 minutes!
Literally. The workout is not a class, so you can start as soon as you are ready. If your main excuse for not exercising is no time - that won't work with 9Round! You can always find a way to carve out 30 minutes of your day to better your lifestyle. Leave yourself reminders if you need to. It can be an alarm set on your phone or even sticky notes left on your desk calendar at work. Just those little things can make a big difference.
Cardio without a treadmill.
This is absolutely my favorite part of the workout. I am not spending half of my time on a treadmill or an elliptical machine. I get a full body workout while burning more than twice the calories I would spending 30 minutes on a boring cardio machine.
It delivers a one-two punch.
Not only are you doing cardio, but you are strength training as well. You will experience a mixture of aerobic, anaerobic, and resistance training in a short amount of time. There are always different exercises, so you will never have the issue of overworking the same muscle each day. I still leave the gym some days with sore muscles that I never knew existed!
You will learn proper form.
I'm sure you all have heard it before. When completing any exercise, you need to do them correctly in order to get the intended benefit and stay healthy. If I am performing any exercise incorrectly, the trainer will point it out and show me the proper way to do it. At 9Round, you will always have a trainer by your side from the moment you start your first round up until your very last round. Not only are they there to guide you, but they motivate you to give it your all!
A nutrition guide is included.
Have you ever heard that fitness is 20% exercise and 80% nutrition? You probably hear it often because it's 100% true. Before I found 9Round, I believed I could exercise for an hour, five times a week, and eat whatever I wanted. As a member, I received a nutrition guide and access to my own nutrition portal. With that, comes so much information about healthy foods, how to fuel your body properly and even a meal matrix to help me plan my meals for the week.
It has been two years since I joined 9Round, and I can say that every single workout has been effective and so much fun. Not everyone can say that about their fitness routine! Start working towards reaching your fitness goals today by finding a 9Round location near you.

Formerly the Network for New Energy Choices, the GRACE Energy Program was created to promote environmentally responsible energy technologies through educational materials, timely updates and other web-based content. Past projects include several editions of Freeing the Grid, the award-winning report on net metering, a report that took a critical look at biofuels and an analysis of local permitting obstacles to renewable power.
The Energy Program continues to highlight the ways in which the nation's energy system can shift toward a cleaner future and focuses on the role that consumers can play to help power the country in balance with sustainable food and water systems.
Energy Program projects include:
Doing More With Less: Energy Efficiency for Consumers – This guide provides actions and resources available to help consumers save money by saving energy. It also offers tips and examines the impact of efficiency efforts and explores opportunities for businesses, manufacturers and other areas outside of the home.
Power Plants Kill Fish – Electric power plants - both nuclear and fossil-fueled - with antiquated "once-through" cooling systems withdraw massive amounts of water from rivers, lakes and estuaries to cool the steam used to create electricity. In the process, they can kill and injure an enormous number of fish and other aquatic life.
Freeing the Grid – How easy (or hard) does your state make it to connect your renewable energy system to the grid? Now in its online incarnation, Freeing the Grid takes the guesswork out of designing effective net metering and interconnection policies. Good net metering rules and interconnection policies effectively smooth the road that transitions the US from dependence on centralized, dirty power generation to a cleaner energy future.
Ecocentric – GRACE's blog covers food, water and energy issues. Energy Program staff members regularly contribute articles, interviews, news briefs, photos and videos to keep consumers informed about the latest developments in food and agriculture.

Man unable to locate the bathroom allegedly urinated over cases of beer in walk-in cooler
According to police, Daniel Colon, 46, entered the Treasure Island convenience store at around 7:30pm on Saturday looking for a bathroom. When that search failed, Colon opened a door marked "Employees Only," a criminal complaint alleges. He then entered what turned out to be the 7-Eleven's walk-in cooler.
Colon then began urinating on "several cases of beer." A store employee who had spotted Colon entering the cooler confronted him and told him to stop. Colon then left the store and drove away. Colon, officers reported, "urinated over 6 cases of Busch Light," causing the store a loss of nearly $100.
Colon was subsequently arrested after his vehicle was pulled over by police searching for the 7-Eleven suspect. In addition to criminal mischief and burglary charges stemming from the cooler urination, Colon was also charged with drunk driving. After being read his rights, Colon reportedly told police he "could not find the bathroom so he entered the walk-in cooler." Colon, a Tampa resident, is locked up in lieu of $3,250 bond.

Since he urinated on the beer rather than defecating on them, maybe he should change his name from Colon to Urethra!

Being editor-in-chief of a network of sites related to technology means that you constantly have to keep up with the latest in technology. Did CSS just get a new upgrade? What is the most current version of PHP? What got changed in the most recent version?
There are so many languages and technologies out there, it would literally take a mountain of books to keep up. And since I live in a modest home with a wife that constantly eyes my ever-growing army of bookcases, I have to be selective about the books I buy.
Add to that a busy freelance life that revolves around research and a natural love of books, and the problem can quickly get out of hand.
I was first introduced to Safari Books Online when I began this job three years ago as a lowly writer. Having to write upwards of fifteen tutorials a week on a variety of languages, it was a great relief to have a virtual library at the tip of my fingers. Let's face it — I don't know a single writer or programmer that doesn't need a handy reference book now and then. Writing 60 articles a month, you can imagine the mountain of books I would need at my desk to help keep everything straight.
If it weren't for Safari Online, I would have literally been buried.
So What Is Safari Books Online?
In simple terms, Safari Books Online is a book repository whereby the good folks at O'Reilly Media, Inc. and Pearson Education have created a virtual library of books that you can peruse (and purchase) from the comfort of your couch, for a small monthly fee. Think Netflix or Gamefly, only for books.
The service offers books from a variety of publishers, including O'Reilly, Prentice Hall, Addison-Wesley, Peachpit Press, Sams Que, John Wiley & Sons, and Apress Publishing (to name a few).
There are four major categories, which are then broken down into sub-categories. The first is the Technology Collection, where you can find books that cater to programmers, focusing on languages, operating systems, network administration, and certification guides.
The second category is Business Collection, geared towards business managers, trainers, and IT managers. It covers topics like marketing, financing, management, and career enhancement.
Next up is the Creative Professional Collection, which is all about graphic design and web development. It also features hobbyist books for photographers and videophiles.
Personal Enrichment is the last category, which rounds out the library's coverage by discussing devices like the iPad and other mobile devices, and offering books on basic computing.
Overall, the four categories feature some 10,000 books and videos, with around 80 titles being added every month.
{mospagebreak title=Pricing Scheme}
There are two basic pricing options for the individual user, which I will detail below. For the record, I was provided an unlimited, 30-day trial to the site for the purpose of writing this review.
The Ten-Slot Bookshelf
The first level is the ten-slot bookshelf, which is where your average user will probably end up.
In addition to having access to the full content of 10 books per month, you also get 5 free download tokens, which roll over each month.
Content tokens are a great feature of the site. Basically, one token (typically) equates to being able to download a chapter of a book in pdf format, which is great for those times that you really only need one part of a given book (I find myself in this situation all the time). If you need the entire book, never fear; you can get most books for around 10-15 tokens.
In addition, if you decide you want a print copy of a particular book, you can get a 35% discount on it with the plan.
Monthly subscription rates for the ten-slot are $22.95, with a discounted yearly rate of $252.99.
Safari Library
For the power user, Safari Library is the way to go, and is my personal favorite. My role at Developer Shed (and as a freelancer) dictates that I know a lot about a lot of technology. With Safari Library, I don't have to spend a ton of money each month purchasing books that I may only use once or twice. In fact, for the price of one book a month, I can have unlimited access to the entire Safari library.
The Library is also the only option that gives you access to the video training section, for those visual learners out there, and also the rough cuts section, which for me is key to staying ahead of the game.
Rough Cuts are basically digital copies of books that have yet to be published. So instead of waiting for the book to his the shelves, you can grab a copy of it as it is written.
You get the other features that the 10-slot bookshelf offers thrown in as well, including the mobile access, download tokens, book discounts, and short cuts (basically articles).
As you would expect, the price is a little higher, but as I said, if you purchase one tech book a month, it is worth it. You'll pay $42.99 per month, or $472.89 per year.
Other Features
Perhaps the strongest feature is the ability to search text. In Bookshelf mode, you can search the text of any one book, very handy when you are in a pinch for time. Instead of checking out the index or scanning page after page of a paper book, you can just type in your word or phrase and get directed to the appropriate section.
Where this really becomes powerful is in Library mode, because then you can search every title in the collection.
Another cool feature is the ability to bookmark sections. If you need to go back and forth to a given section or just mark it for later use, this comes in real handy.
I was pretty impressed with Safari's collection of books and the easy learning curve. I really love the text searching capabilities and bookmarking feature and found that I was able to increase my productivity level while using the service. Of course, I use dual monitors, so that is a huge help if you are a writer or programmer. Have your reference material on one screen, your text editor on the other!
I wasn't able to try out the service on my phone or on a device like the iPad or Kindle, though other reviewers have said the service is good.
Overall, I would say it is well worth the monthly fee, even if you are a casual reader. And don't forget, if you are a freelancer, you can always write off the subscription when you do your taxes.
Most users will probably want to opt for the ten book option. I think that offers the best value for the average reader, and more than pays for itself without putting a huge recurring dent in your pocket.
I would suggest anyone interested in the service take it for a test drive. You can sign up for a trial and get 10 days free + 30% off a Safari Library Subscription at: http://safaribooksonline.com/d/learning/devshed?cid=201201-my-devshedreview-lwol-links

Evening folks.
Steelhorse and Optimus Prime have asked me to do a major overhaul of the forum to make everyone's lives more organized and stuff generally easier to find.
I am going to try to do this without doing a temporary shut down of any boards (which I probably should) so that all currently running tournaments don't get interrupted.
If something moves, the search button is your friend.
Links should still work, I don't think I'm going to break any of those
If I completely screw up, I apologize, I'll get things back to normal as fast as possible.
Please forgive the dust

Homes that sell in just a few days. Bidding wars. Above asking-price offers. They may sound like relics of the pre-housing-bust era, but for many homeowners, they're a reality marking the beginning of a new seller's market.
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
Existing single-family-home sales increased 9.1% in January from a year prior to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.92 million units, according to data released Thursday by the National Association of Realtors. Median sales prices hit $173,600, up 12.3% from a year prior—marking the 11th consecutive month of year-over-year price increases.
Other conditions are also working to sellers' advantage. The number of homes for sale is declining. Roughly 1.47 million properties nationwide were listed on the multiple listing services, the databases where listing agents maintain their postings, in January, down 16.5% from a year prior, according to Realtor.com. With fewer homes to choose from, more buyers are engaging in bidding wars that often push the purchase price of the home above the asking price. Homeowners are also spending less time trying to sell: Homes were on the market for a median 108 days in January, down 9% from a year prior, according to Realtor.com. The data suggests that sellers are beginning to gain more leverage. "It's a fairly broad-based phenomenon," says Stuart Gabriel, director of the Ziman Center for Real Estate at the University of California, Los Angeles.
After waiting on the sidelines for years, would-be sellers in some markets are encountering favorable conditions. In particular, homeowners in markets that were hit hardest by the downturn, including Arizona, California and Florida, are seeing some of the biggest gains. For instance, the median sales price of existing single-family homes in Miami was $213,000 during the fourth quarter of 2012, up 15% from a year prior, according to the NAR. In Sacramento, median prices hit $193,200, up 18% from a year prior.
Sellers in such markets aren't likely to unload their home at prices that surpass the boom years, but they have a shot at getting higher offers from buyers than they would have one or two years ago. For some owners, recent price gains may provide an opportunity to sell a home that they previously were underwater on, where they owed more money on their mortgage than it was worth. Roughly 1.4 million borrowers returned to "positive equity" during the first three quarters of 2012, according to the latest data from CoreLogic.
There are already signs that sellers are trying to make the most of the latest wave of buyer demand. Median asking prices in some markets, including Phoenix and San Francisco, were up more than 20% in January from a year ago, according to Realtor.com. And experts say more sellers will probably list their properties this coming spring (a peak season for home purchases).
Here are five cities where it pays to be a home seller.

Artist and entrepreneur Todd McFarlane's toys were never meant for children. Along with companies like Sideshow Collectibles, McFarlane Toys, launched in 1994, carved a new niche in the marketplace, producing toys, playsets and action figures aimed squarely at the young adult and collector's market.
McFarlane's large articulated figurines set the standard for quality sculpts, with amazing likenesses and scrupulous detail lavished on its collections of licensed movie character, rock stars and famous sports figures. The company also produces original action figures, led by McFarlane's own Spawn superhero character, and dramatic re-interpretations of classic fictional characters.
McFarlane's horror and fantasy toy series include wildly pumped-up, radical rethinks of the classic movie monsters, legendary horror figures like Jack The Ripper or Elizabeth Bathory, and gleefully sordid, horror versions of assorted fairy tales including The Wizard of OZ characters, and Santa Claus! The OZ series features a Tin Man that looks like a steampunk robot and disturbing, nightmarish versions of Toto, the Scarecrow and the Lion. Dorothy appears as a blimp-chested, bondaged babe. The Santa Claus collection also features blood-chilling renditions of Santa, demonic elves, pointy-tooth reindeer and, here we go again, Mrs. Claus as a candy cane pole dancer.
Between 1997 and 2002, McFarlane Toys offered three different Frankenstein Monsters…
The first Frankenstein Playset, released in 1997, features a deformed, blood-splattered mad scientist and a slabbed Monster on a castle lab stand. The characters are rather crude when compared with versions to come. Note that Dr. Frankenstein holds a severed head that bears a likeness to The Monster's final iteration, five years hence.
The Dr. Frankenstein Playset of 1998 is a variation of the original. Both playsets are designed to snap together and create a large, multi-character tableau.
This one featured another dungeons-like lab base, a different mad doctor, and a bizarre, two-headed Monster with accessories that include a bone saw and discarded intestines.
In 2002, the McFarlane's Monsters collection was the most accomplished and extreme remix of the classic monsters to date, featuring Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula, the Mummy, a Werewolf, a marginally Gillman-inspired Sea Creature, and a wholly original Voodoo Queen.
The elaborate design, careful sculpting and construction of this set are vastly superior to that of the previous efforts.
This skull-faced Frankenstein is equipped with a warrior's wicked wrist-blade. He's decked out in leather and armor, wears a partial helmet, chains, hooks, and what appears to be a cape made of stitched-together human faces. For reasons unexplained, he carries a mouldy skeleton with entrails in a cage on his back.
McFarlane's Frankensteins are punk and gore, kickass cyborg monstrosities, worlds away from the Mary Shelley original.
Most of these figures are still available through resellers, though sometimes at inflated prices. The very nicely done McFarlane's Monsters minisite is worth visiting. On the Frankenstein page, you can access closeups of the figure, and be sure to click the QVTR link to see it in the round.

B.. needed a new t-shirt design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 32 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
pup lov, bad-doggz, B's tee's, **submit name ideas with designs **
I live in Chicago with my girlfriend and 2 pugs; Dez and June. We also have an Engilsh Mastiff named Ursa. The dogs are part of the family and if they look bummed we are bummed. If they are happy then we are happy. I am starting a company so I don't have to be away from the family all the time working for the man. I love wearing hoodys and Tee's. My girl and I both have tattoos, so I figure lets put them all together and start a company. Eventually I would like to do beenie hats, scarfs, hats, etc.
I see my customers as blue color , hard working folks with tattoos, kids, and dogs or course. Just some laid back people who like to chill adn wear some good lookin' hoodys or tee shirts. Our dogs are like our kids. I just want to see people with a choice to have thier dog breed with cross bones on a shirt/hoody.
I am looking of the head of a pug, in between 2 crossbones. it can have an old school tattoo, or new school feel to it. what I see is more black and white, but has a pink tongue that sticks out. Not going for the cheesy look, but something a dog owner can ware and not feel like an old lady who has her poodle on the front of her shirt and matching hair bands. Something maybe with designs in the back round(graffiti/tribal). I want a mean look to the face of the dog to go with the a rough/tough brand name.

The Oscar Nominated Short Films 2018: Live Action
Religious and racial conflict, mental illness and disability discrimination are all subjects scrutinized in this year's Oscar Nominated Short Films - Live Action. As certain shorts began, a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach is hard to avoid. Take, for instance, the compelling "Dekalb Elementary," which takes place entirely within an elementary school's central office. An overweight, sloppy-looking white male enters and asks to use the phone. The receptionist walks away. We see him put down a bag and open it, with the slight sounds of metal being handled. Anyone who watches the news knows where this is going.
Surprisingly, this non-manipulative short film steers into interesting territory by exploring the ephemeral relationship between this shooter and the school receptionist he's holding hostage. "Dekalb Elementary" empathizes with the mental illness aspect of mass shootings, and it handles the tricky topic masterfully with strong writing and powerful acting by its two leads.
On another end of the disability spectrum is deafness, which is showcased in the moving short, "The Silent Child." The film follows a deaf child, her sign language teacher and the girl's intrusive parents who insist that their daughter learn to read lips and speak despite sign language's proven capability of helping deaf people live a more normal life. By exploring the duality of an ignorant mother who is relentless in fighting for what she believes will secure her daughter's normalcy against a loving teacher who only wants the best for her young student, "The Silent Child" creates a stirring juxtaposition of apathy and affection.
Racial tension is the central theme of "My Nephew Emmett," which anyone who's read their history books will figure out is about Emmett Till a couple minutes into the film when another character comments on the young boy's knack for whistling. The film follows Emmett's uncle, Mose Wright, and the actions he takes after learning of his nephew's mistake (the boy, visiting from Chicago, had no prior experience with the racist norms of the South). The saddest aspect of this short is that Mose knows exactly how Emmett's decision of whistling at a white woman is going to play out. He sits by the window, shotgun in hand -- and yet, racism and hatred conquer when a group of white men finally come to drag Emmett out of his home. This short is a strong entry, showing another perspective of a historical tragedy.
Swap race with religion, and you have "Watu Wote: All of Us," which follows a Christian in Kenya who boards a chartered bus filled with Muslim passengers. The short expertly captures religious tension through close-ups and sound, and then dives into terrifying territory when the bus is stopped and taken over by the violent terrorist group Al-Shabaab. The film steers into a bit of "I Am Spartacus!" terrain as its trekking over this delicate topic, and while the film is a tad too over-dramatized, it still has many moments that will profoundly affect the viewer.
It's not all depressing, though, because the final short film basks in riotous hilarity. "The Eleven O'Clock" is an Australian comedy film, and the shortest of the five at only 11 minutes. This short details the interaction between a psychiatrist and his patient, a man with grand delusions that he, too, is a psychiatrist. The relentlessly snappy film has you laughing at a new joke the moment you've caught your breath from the previous joke, with gut-busting back and forth dialogue as the man both try to diagnose one another. The best part is, the further the film goes on the less sure you become about which man is really the shrink.
Predicted Oscar Winner: "Dekalb Elementary"

Indochine are a group from France that initially were part of an 80s pop phase but of course singing only in French meant that they were somewhat isolated from the rest of the world and only popular in French speaking countries.
Now they are getting a bit more worldwide attention and their tours are taking them all across the world but of course they will still always remain a hugely popular French band.
Their music today is very dynamic as they can do rock and pop but their song writing is of high quality that still can catch the attention of old fans as well as the new ones that didn't exactly grow up with the same music in the 80s.
This post will list my favorite music videos and songs the band has produced over the years and actually is more recent compared to their 80s stuff.
Alica & June Song Video
This is a great rock/pop song all the way back from 2005
Playboy Song & Video
Playboy was released in 2009, the video is a work of art on it's own however the song itself is great to listen to. One of my new favorites.
You spin me Round (like a record) Song Video
This is a great cover song and they do a hot video of it too. Wow!
Juste Toi et Moi Song & Video
This is probably my favorite video and song by this band. It is a simple song but it captures a lot of emotions with the song itself and the video is also great. Just look for the same song in live version and you'll realize what this song means to the fans of Indochine.
Le Dernier Jour Song & Video
The video on this song is great and the song is a classic. This is the song that got me following Indochine in the first place and what a great find it was.

As Samsung bids goodbye to stellar 2013, mixed views on its future
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — For Samsung Electronics and its 270,000 employees across the globe, 2013 was the best year.
One in every three smartphones sold carried the Samsung brand, with the company shipping more than 300 million of the devices. South Korea's best known company on the world stage rounded off the year with record annual revenue and profit. Employees celebrated bonuses totaling more than $740 million.
Already selling more smartphones than any other company, Samsung is set to ship even more this year. Its smartphone sales will jump over 20 percent to nearly 400 million units, according to Counterpoint Technology Market Research.
But that probably won't translate into another year of record earnings, a scenario anticipated by investors with Samsung's share price down 17 percent since the start of 2013.
For the first time in more than two years, Samsung's quarterly net profit declined from the previous quarter, its latest result showed Friday. The maker of Galaxy smartphones said its net profit for the October-December period fell 11 percent from the third quarter to 7.3 trillion won ($6.8 billion).
The mobile business, which generally contributes about 70 percent of Samsung's earnings, posted its smallest profit in a year after sales decreased slightly from the previous three months. TVs, long a mainstay product for Samsung, also disappointed.
Samsung hinted that the earnings decline may not be temporary.
"It will be challenging for us to improve our earnings in the first quarter," Robert Yi, head of investor relations, said on a conference call.
Shareholders have constantly fretted that Samsung's cash cow, smartphones, will become less profitable since sales have reached saturation in developed nations and premium phones don't sell as well in developing countries.
Analysts forecast that Samsung's mobile division will suffer a slight decline in profit in 2014, adding to investor jitters that the company has become too reliant on smartphones. The mobile division's earnings in one quarter now exceed what it would previously make in one year.
Samsung's smartphone sales will not grow much in Western Europe or North America and most of its sales growth will come from Africa, Eastern Europe and India where average prices of smartphones are lower, said Thomas Kang, a director at Counterpoint.
One hope for shareholders is that Samsung's chip business, which supplies companies such as rival Apple Inc., may pick up some of the slack.
At its earnings conference call, a Samsung executive said the company expects its smartphone shipments to increase by 4 to 6 percent during the first three months of 2014 while tablet sales will grow less than 5 percent from the previous quarter.
Analysts said Samsung will likely unveil a new iteration of the Galaxy smartphone next month in Barcelona. The company unveiled new tablet computers at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, hoping to narrow its tablet market share gap with Apple.
But Nokia's fall from world's top mobile phone maker to an also-ran is a reminder that no tech company can stay on top forever.
A key source of concern for Samsung is China.
Chinese companies that sell TVs and mobile phones are quickly catching up with cheaper products and improved quality.
Chinese firms such as Lenovo, Skyworth and Huawei may rival South Korean companies more quickly than expected, said Son Jae-kwon, author of "Disruptors," a book on Silicon Valley tech firms.
"People did not expect innovation to come from China, but now it's different," Son said. He compared Chinese smartphone and TV makers that innovate with quick delivery of cheap and solid products to fast fashion firms such as Zara and H&M.
Competition in the Chinese smartphone market will become "somewhat more intense," said a senior Samsung executive, Kim Hyunjoon, as Apple has begun selling iPhones through China Mobile Ltd. which has 750 million subscribers.
But Kim said Samsung sees a business opportunity in China where it leads in smartphones.
"With the spread of LTE wireless service, there will be more demand for high-end" devices, he said.
Chinese TV makers, while they lag in overall TV sales to Samsung, are manufacturing more ultra-HD TVs at cheaper costs. Known as "4K," those TVs are in huge demand among the Chinese.
In the last few years, Samsung invested heavily in OLED TVs, believing they would be a hit. But OLEDs remain unaffordable while ultra-HD TV sales are forecast to surge. This misstep has created opportunities for companies such as Sony Corp., which is getting an additional boost from a weak yen.
Samsung plans to boost its ultra-HD TV lineup this year but market forecasts are not so favorable for the Korean firm.
Samsung is also seeking a breakthrough in its appliance business with its "smart home" vision, a household where mobile devices, refrigerators, TVs and air conditioners talk to each other.
In his new year's speech, Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee urged employees to "change once again" and to discard business strategies from five or 10 years ago.
In its search for a new cash cow that could replace Galaxy devices, Samsung has been investing in medical devices, solar batteries, health care and other new businesses. But they have not yet generated meaningful results.
"Samsung wants to be a conglomerate in the tech industry," said Marcello Ahn, a fund manager at Quad Investment Management. "It is trying to do it all."
