Cisco® Unified Communications Manager is the heart of Cisco collaboration services, enabling session and call control for video, voice, messaging, mobility, instant messaging (IM), and presence.
Product Overview
In this post-PC era where users bring their own devices (BYOD) to the work place, today's organization is challenged in unprecedented ways. These changes in work styles and the ever increasing need for collaboration require organizations to have an integrated productivity solution that enables users to communicate from anywhere, using any device, on any network in a cost-effective, reliable, and secure manner. With more than 120,000 customers worldwide, over 50 million Cisco IP phones and another 10's of millions of soft clients deployed, Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) is the industry leader in enterprise call and session management platforms. It delivers people-centric user and administrative experiences while supporting the full range of collaboration services including video, voice, IM and presence, messaging, and mobility on Cisco as well as third-party devices.
New with Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 9.0
Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 9.0 builds on the voice and video enhancements of Version 8.6 by:
● Extending flexibility that fits your business: Cisco Unified Communications Manager Version 9.0 offers a centralized tool for license management, reporting, and compliance, as well as a new user-centric licensing structure. Fixed mobile convergence improvements will help integrate mobile and desk phones using standards-based IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) integration. Cisco Jabber™ integration with Cisco Unified CM version 9.0 provides for a common feature base, regardless of the device or the operating system that is used.
● Bridging systems to improve interoperability by taking advantage of the network to work transparently with other standards-based solutions and devices: Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) normalization and transparency enhancements allow better interoperability between different endpoints and solutions. Call Admission Control (CAC) enables intelligent video bandwidth management. The email style end-user dialing option helps ensure that call-control platforms will be compatible with future versions by providing the ability to reach Internet-addressable users and devices.

The benefits of mindful movement
Walking during your lunch break. Doing yoga for a half-hour. Standing up and stretching. Taking a deep breath in, and a deep breath out before you start a stressful conversation. These, and other mindful movements get you out of your head and into your body.
Mindfulness isn't only about sitting still and focusing on your breath. Mindfully walking or running, doing yoga, or any type of movement can help you be more aware of your body — and this can offer you important information. Do your shoulders creep up when you feel tense? Do you clench your teeth when you worry?
Becoming more aware of your body helps you navigate life. With practice, for example, you can stay even and calm during a difficult conversation or a challenge at work. If you notice that your shoulders are tensing and your body is stiffening when you encounter a stressful situation, by simply taking a few deep breaths, you'll be able to handle things more calmly.
Body awareness also helps you become more aware of — and enjoy — the times when you feel good. It can give you that burst of energy that allows you to walk or jog a bit longer. You can wake up feeling alert and excited about your day. You can feel easy and comfortable spending time with an old friend. Your body constantly provides signals about how you feel. Paying attention and responding to these signals can help you be in the world with more presence.

New Love With Jewels - SV Compact Carry (2000-03-28)
As most of our loyal readers of this column may recall, we introduced our "new love" in the December 1999 issue of Bite the Bullet. At the time that the SV Infinity Compact Carry was introduced, we applauded it's power to size ratio, as well as the finishing and metal lower frame that added to excellent weight distribution. Well now look what WA sent along our way...an even more beautiful version that even replaces the neon blue trigger (which I didn't particularly like) for a silver one. Not only is the latest trend in nickel plating gas blowbacks but WA has also chosen to individually assign unique serial numbers to each, stamped right on the lower frame. Incidentally, I myself grabbed number 00254 out of the 500 limited edition pieces of this beauty that WA has been rumored to produce. Finishing is top notch as usual and the silver finishing really brings out the details in the rear hammer assembly. Installed with adjustable BOMAR sights and sporting all the power and kick as the older black model released back in December, the silver model quickly made itself into RedWolf's private collection. Why did I share this with you here in the editorial column? Simply because I haven't been as proud of an addition to my collection in a long long time - not since the now discontinued and rare WA Prokiller.
This also gives me the opportunity to explain why in many cases nickel plated airsoft guns tend to be lighter than their black counterparts. The answer is actually quite surprising in that it is a technology limitation. Fabricators have simply found it difficult to nickel plate ABS plastic with metal content that designers typically add to plastic slides to add weight. The combination of metal and plastic in heavy weight slides makes nickeling quite difficult and attempts at doing so have often led to peeling. This was quite apparent in some of the earlier MGC nickel plated heavy weight pistols that actually peeled their own silver coatings off after just sitting on the shelf for an extended period of time. While not an issue with our limited edition friend here, we are eagerly looking to add a silver metal slide to our newest love to finish off an almost-perfect gas blowback (in our opinion)!

The Tale of Tsar Saltan - Mariinsky Opera - Sadlers Wells, 17 October 2008
The Swan Princess (all illustrations by Ivan Bilibin, 1905)
As a review of the 2005 Mariinsky Theatre premiere of this production points out, it was designed for children ("the younger the audience, the better").
This snippet of information Sadlers Wells withheld, no doubt thinking the more £60 tickets we can flog, the better.
But it had plenty to offer for the grown-ups too - one of the reasons it remains a staple of the Russian repertoire, despite being rarely-staged over here.
The Tale of Tsar Saltan naturally lends itself to a family-friendly treatment in any case. Rimsky-Korsakov took a quintessential fairytale complete with beautiful princesses and wicked stepsisters and packed it with hummable tunes and soothing harmonies.
Though structurally it owes something to Wagner, with its through-composition and leitmotifs, there's little harmonic adventure, and no attempt to symbolise, characterise, or probe more than a millimetre below the surface. So the decision of director Alexander Petrov (also artistic director of a children's musical theatre) for visual splash at the expense of psychological insight is artistically appropriate, not just junior audience-friendly.
The sets are really the star in this production, and they are closely based on Ivan Bilibin's 1937 designs. They were in turn based on Bilibin's 1905 illustrations for the Pushkin poem The Tale of Tsar Saltan - as was the opera itself in 1900. So while they're not technically the original sets for the opera, they can at least claim a degree of contemporaneity.
The folkloric designs pulsate with colour and pattern, and the conscious artifice of the flat wooden sets emphasises the unreality of the tale being told. The only modern touch came in the orchestral interludes, accompanied by gently-animated backdrops of Bilibin's illustrations.
Gowned in luscious brocades and explosive prints, the performers didn't go for naturalism either. The sort of choreographed gesticulation on display could have looked as wooden as the sets in another context.
But when your hero prince turns into an insect and back again, then marries a swan who turns into a princess, it works perfectly. Or almost. The infamous Flight of the Bumblebee, portrayed here by a dancer racing round the stage with a fist-sized cuddly toy bee on a stick, provoked perfectly understandable laughter.
As the Mariinsky company carry on performing in St Petersburg while they're on tour, what we got in London was a sort of B team - not that it was particularly obvious. The singers weren't particularly starry, but none were less than competent, and there were some terrific character performances.
Victoria Yastrebova, a sort of Netrebko-in-waiting, could certainly hold the stage, and as the Tsaritsa who is wrongly cast out by the Tsar had the opportunity to present a more rounded and human characterisation than some of the others.
Daniil Shtoda, who played the hero Tsarevich, was the only disappointment. He sounded for the most part pinched and tiny-voiced, though in a few lines he opened out and showed he can do better.
But the show was almost stolen by the smaller comic parts, especially the interfering crone Babarikha, played by Nadezhda Vasilieva, and Vassily Gorshkov's silly old Grandpa.
The orchestra under Tugan Sokhiev sounded oddly less 'Russian' than I'd expected, but splendid all the same. A few brass-laden moments threatened to lift the roof off Sadlers Wells (obviously EU noise regs haven't migrated east) but they were generally well-balanced with the stage, and tremendously spirited in the orchestral interludes.
Not everyone enjoyed the brazen naivety of the production (a certain opera director left at the interval, who knows why), but there's only so far the Eastenders-in-corsets verism of most current productions can go. I suspect a more contemporary approach would shatter the delicate magical spell which is this opera's main reward.
Some more production photos:
And some from the curtain call (by intermezzo.typepad.com), which show the gorgeous costumes more clearly:
Here's an amateur video of the production, shot inside the Mariinsky. Not the highest of quality, but the first couple of minutes give a glimpse of the beautiful Mariinsky theatre itself, and the rest includes representative musical snatches:
And here's a pointless musical exercise if ever there was. Flight of the Bumblebee performed on 8 pianos. Culprits include the usual suspect, Lang Lang, but what makes it bizarrely compulsive is that Martha Argerich, Evgeny Kissin, James Levine, Emanuel Ax, Leif Ove Andsnes, Mikhail Pletnev, Staffan Scheja, Nicholas Angelich and Claude Frankare are also implicated:

Stamford mother-daughter duo designs hand-crafted bling for a cause
As country stars Rodney Atkins and Rose Falcon made their way down the red carpet at the Country Music Awards last month, fans and commentators couldn't stop talking about the couple's impending marriage.
Sandy D'Andrea and her daughter, Stevie, were just as excited about what Falcon was wearing -- specifically, a pink Swarovski beaded pearl bracelet.
No, it wasn't a Buccellati or a Bulgari, it was the creation of Sandy and Stevie, Stamford's own mother-daughter designer duo.
"To see Rose wearing our bracelet, I thought that was the best thing ever," Sandy said during an interview last week from her kitchen, which doubles as her workshop.
Celebrities and everyday people alike have donned Sandy and Stevie's handcrafted bling, drawn not only to their bedazzled designs, but to their humanitarian aims.
Dubbing their business Jewels for Hope, the business partners donate a portion of every sale to charity. Their slogan? "Style with heart."
"I try not to think about the money or the fame," Sandy said. "Somebody once told me, `If you do it from the heart, good things will happen.' "
The duo have followed their hearts all the way to the red carpets of Hollywood award ceremonies. Actors Jennifer Love Hewitt, Chris Tucker and TV personality Meredith Viera all wear Jewels for Hope swag, which is snapped up by celebrities at pre-award show gift boutiques.
Their products also are available on their website, jewelsforhope.net. Most items sell in the $25 to $125 range.
But success isn't only measured in sales.
"We've donated about $5,000 to charity so far," Stevie said.
Sandy started making jewelry a little more than a decade ago after quitting her job to care for her mother who was suffering from Parkinson's disease. At first, it was only a hobby -- an escape from the stresses of care giving. But when the nurses and aides who helped take care of her mother began admiring her rings, pendants, bracelets and necklaces, the self-taught designer decided to open a bonafide business.
"A light bulb went on," recalled Sandy, who launched an Etsy account in 2008.
As a thank you, she donated a portion of her profits to hospice.
But good intentions aside, Sandy needed help. In her first year, the jewelry designer could count the number of sales she made on one hand. And that's where Stevie came in. A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology, she employed her training in marketing and social media to spur business.
She proved to be a star employee. With Stevie's help, in 2011, Jewels For Hope joined the Artisan Group, a juried collective of DIY crafters that helps designers showcase their products at celebrity gift boutiques. It was at one such event that Sandy and Stevie's pink crystal and pearl breast cancer awareness necklace caught the eye of a high-profile client.
"Jennifer Love Hewitt found us before the Golden Globes in Los Angeles," Stevie said, referring to the "Ghost Whisperer" actress. "It was a huge turning point for us and changed our whole business."
Stevie is heading to a Golden Globes gift lounge in February.
In addition to giving directly to charity, Sandy and Stevie donate their products to benefit auctions and other fundraising campaigns. That's how they met Falcon. The country singer was planning to live stream a benefit performance in October for the Young Survival Coalition, an organization that supports young women with breast cancer, when Sandy and Stevie offered a proposal.
"They wanted to send me a bracelet to wear and one to auction off during the livestream," said Falcon, who was recently named one of Country Music Television's Next Women of Country. "That's what makes their business special; the bracelets are beautiful, but to know you're helping somebody else, it's really great."
Falcon was so moved that she wore her Jewels for Hope bracelet to the CMAs. Now, Sandy and Stevie are developing a jewelry line for country singer.
But celebrities make up just a fraction of Jewel For Hope's clientele. Many of their customers are people affected by cancer, bullying and other issues. Sandy and Stevie have created color-coded bracelets that benefit and raise awareness on a variety of causes.
"They've been such great supporters of us," Claudia Marks, a volunteer and former marketing director of the Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation, said.
Sandy and Stevie donated dozens of pink paracord bracelets to the New London-based nonprofit organization for its annual Walk Across Southeastern Connecticut last year.
"All businesses should be as giving as they are," Marks added.
That feedback gives Sandy and Stevie hope that they can make Jewels For Hope a full-time job. And, as they've learned, the surest way to reach that goal is to keep following their hearts.
"We love what we do," Sandy said. "And if you love what you do, good things will happen."

(Venice, Italy) On May 26, the night before I went to a conference at the Giorgio Cini Foundation entitled, China and the West Today: Lessons From Matteo Ricci, I read an amazing news report on ANSA, which is a bit like an Italian Associated Press. The headline that caught my eye was:
Vatican Radio to go commercial
Pope's station will run advertising jingles for first time
The report went on to say that Vatican Radio had decided to take on advertisers, and the first sponsor was going to be ENEL, our electrical company here in Italy. To read the report, please click here:
(As of today, October 6, 2009, that link no longer seems to function:) Let's try the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8135753.stm)
Intrigued, I went to the Enel Wikipedia site and discovered another astonishing piece of information:
Intrigued, I went to the Enel Wikipedia site and discovered another astonishing piece of information:
In the first week of March 2008, Enel has begun building the world's first hydrogen-powered thermal powerplant near Venice. The hydrogen will be harnessed from the byproducts of the nearby oil refinery of Porto Marghera. The projected output is in the megawatt range.
To read that article, please click here:
(Whoops! As of today, October 6, 2009, it seems like that page no longer exists. A similar story does, however, exist here in Italian on Finanza LIVE: http://www.finanzalive.com/notizie/enel-inaugura-il-cantiere-per-la-prima-centrale-a-idrogeno-mondiale/)

The world's first hydrogen power plant? In Marghera? How did I miss that incredible news? Many people in Venice complain about Marghera, which is an industrial zone on the lagoon, causing the types of havoc that industrial zones are notorious for. If a hydrogen plant could harness the by-products, it would be a quantum leap forward. I asked a few select people if they had heard about this information, and no one had.
What does a hydrogen power plant have to do with the conference at the Cini Foundation about China and Matteo Ricci? In true Venetian synchronicity, by the end of the conference, I found myself speaking to Corrado Clini, who is the President of the Global BioEnergy Partnership - G8+5 and Vice President of the International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy, as well as a cornucopia of other impressive titles. I told him what I had read, and asked him if it was true. He said, yes, that the hydrogen plant should be ready within a month or two. He said to search "Hydrogen Park Marghera," and I suggest that anyone who is interested in more information to follow those instructions. I am certainly no expert on hydrogen, but my gut reaction was: a hydrogen power plant is thrilling, heroic; we are on the dawn of a new level of experience.
You regular readers will remember that I have written about the Giorgio Cini Foundation on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore before. It is a great honor and privilege to be invited to attend a conference there, and I always come away with a feeling of humility and respect. From Wikipedia: The San Giorgio Monastery is a Benedictine monastery in Venice, lying on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore. It stands next to the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, and is now the seat of Cini Foundation.
The conference, China and the West Today: Lessons from Matteo Ricci was orchestrated by Michela Fontana, who is a scientific journalist, mathematician and writer. It was like a concerto, starting with historians and scholars, and ending with businessmen, with the same melody recurring throughout.
I know as much about China as I knew about the Middle East when I wrote about the Eurogolfe Forum I attended at the Cini Foundation last October -- which is, basically nothing. (Click here to read Men Like Gods http://venetiancat.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-world-order.html) I was pleased, however, to be told during a private conversation with one of the few attendants from China, "You are Chinese!" Now, of course, I am about as Chinese as I am Venetian:) The source of my information comes from the I Ching, or The Book of Changes, which I have attempted to understand for many years. This is from Richard Wilhelm's introduction:
The Book of Changes -- I Ching in Chinese -- is unquestionably one of the most important books in the world's literature. Its origin goes back to mythical antiquity, and it has occupied the attention of the most eminent scholars of China down to the present day. Nearly all that is greatest and most significant in the three thousand years of Chinese cultural history has either taken its inspiration from this book, or has exerted an influence on the interpretation of its text. Therefore it may safely be said that the seasoned wisdom of thousands of years has gone into the making of the I Ching. Small wonder then that both of the two branches of Chinese philosophy, Confucianism and Taoism, have their common roots here. ...
...Indeed, not only the philosophy of China but its science and statecraft as well have never ceased to draw from the spring of wisdom in the I Ching ...
Matteo Ricci was a Jesuit priest who traveled to China in 1583, about three hundred years after the Venetian merchant and explorer, Marco Polo, arrived in 1274. Ricci brought with him new ideas from Italy about science, astronomy and mathematics, and assimilated into the Chinese culture. Professor Timothy Brook, the Chair of the afternoon session of Day 1 of the conference asked this question: "Is it pure coincidence that the Europeans best remembered for their early travels to China, Marco Polo and Matteo Ricci, were both Italian?" Professor Brook points out that one similarity was that each journey took place in the immediate wake of the formation of trade networks.
Some years ago, I wrote a piece about the Ospedaletto Santa Maria dei Derelitti that might also shed some light on the question.
The Ospedaletto originated back in the winter of 1528 when famine struck the Venetian countryside and destitute mobs flooded into the city. Unlike hospitals today, caring for the sick was only one dimension of the ospedali. They also provided emergency food and shelter for men, women and children, particularly orphans. By 1542, the original wooden buildings of the Ospedaletto had been replaced by permanent structures. In 1575, they began to erect a church called Santa Maria dei Derelitti, the centerpiece of the compound. It is believed that the Ospedaletto rose due to the efforts of staunch Catholics involved in reformation, and was sustained entirely by voluntary donations and bequests from private citizens. Influential reformists such as Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuits, and the powerful Contarini family were associated with the Ospedaletto. Venetian nobleman Girolamo Miani (later to become St. Jerome Emilini after being canonized in 1767 by the Venetian Pope Clement XIII), was appointed the director and responsible for the orphan's education. A former soldier, Miani is credited with originating catechetical teaching by question and answer. The religious instruction also included the singing of sacred music. The boys sang in the streets, spreading the word of God and soliciting funds from the nobility, and learned simple trades such as rope making for the Arsenale. The girls, however, were completely cloistered in the hospital, and required to follow a strict regime of prayer, domestic work and assistance in the wards. Their singing was confined to vespers and masses on Sundays and feast days.
[That image you see is Il Corpus Domini by Giorgio Giacobbi and from a photograph exhibit here in Venice called Donne! (Women!) by Il Circolo Fotografico La Gondola in the lobby of the bank, Cassa di Risparmio di Venezia, in Campo San Luca, which runs through June 10th.]
When I was six-years-old, I made my First Holy Communion and I remember very well those questions and answers! "Where is God?" "God is everywhere." The nun clicked some device and we stood, knelt and sat, just like little soldiers. Ha! Now I know who to blame:)
It may be surprising to learn that the Jesuits were ordained in Venice in 1537, about the same period of time discussed in my blog about Titian, Tintoretto & Veronese: http://venetiancat.blogspot.com/2009/03/ides-of-march-titian-tintoretto.html.
From Wikipedia:
They were ordained at Venice by the bishop of Arbe (June 24). They devoted themselves to preaching and charitable work in Italy, as the renewed Italian War of 1535-1538 between Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, Venice, the pope and the Ottoman Empire rendered any journey to Jerusalem impossible.
Echoing the past even more, the Jesuits have a new Superior General, Adolfo Nicolás, elected on January 19, 2008, and who has spent much time in Japan and the East. From Wikipedia:
[Nicolás] once stated, "Asia has a lot yet to offer the Church, to the whole Church, but we haven't done it yet. Maybe we have not been courageous enough, or we haven't taken the risks we should"[10]. In an article on Nicolás, Michael McVeigh said that Nicolás has also expressed his wariness of missionaries who are more concerned with teaching and imposing orthodoxy than in having a cultural experience with the local people, saying, "Those who enter into the lives of the people, they begin to question their own positions very radically."[10]
I learned a tremendous amount of new information in a compacted period of time. What sums it up, to me, is this passage from the theatrical performance held the last night, Matteo Ricci. A Jesuit Scientist at the Ming Court, written by the organizer, Michela Fontana:
"Proof of the great prestige he eventually won at the Imperial court was the fact that the Emperor Wanli would grant him the right to be buried in the capital of the empire, Peking, in the cemetery now in the courtyard of the Administrative College, once the Chinese Communist Party school.
According to the chronicles, a few days after Ricci's burial in 1611, a eunuch asked the Grand Secretary Ye Xiango, the supreme official in the Imperial bureaucracy, why Ricci had been granted this privilege never previously enjoyed by a Westerner. The Mandarin replied that the translation into Chinese of Euclid's Elements alone was enough to justify honouring the man who had come from the Far West."
The non-Asian speaker who impressed me the most was Professor François Jullien, who spoke in French, which was translated. The long and winding road that Professor Jullien had traveled to understand life in general and the Chinese culture in particular was inspiring. He spoke about using silent transformation, not harsh breaks and ruptures to change. That if you force a situation, you are not effective. He said that one must undergo a personal transformation to understand Chinese thought, and that patience and humility are required. This struck a chord with me, for I had to undergo a long personal transformation myself, together with a healthy dose of patience and humility, in order to catch a glimpse into the way Venetians think.
Professor Yongjin Zhang from the University of Bristol was denied a visa, so could not attend; his text was read, but had been edited. His recent publications include "The English School" in China: A Travelogue of Ideas and Their Diffusion, and System, Empire and State in Chinese International Relations. From the conference book: "I argue that in an increasingly globalised world, Matteo Ricci's ideas and practices remain valuable in informing the search by both China and Europe for a richer and more meaningful relationship both at present and in the future."
I felt that Luo Xiaopeng, a Professor of Economics at the China Academy of Rural Development at Zhejiang University was an informative and enlightened individual, as was one of the few female speakers, Professor Luo Hongbo, a specialist in European/Italian enterprises and Sino-European relations. She said she was going to recommend holding a similar conference in China next year, and that she had been trying to get to the Giorgio Cini Foundation for thirty years!
After the scholars came the Italian businessmen, and I will confess that I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by their attitude and demeanor, which was, honestly, very different from the Anglo-American point of view. Cesare Romiti, the former President of Fiat SpA (among other awe-inspiring titles) was refreshing. In 2003, he founded and became chairman of the Italia Cina Foundation, which brings together many entrepreneurs and firms interested in the Chinese market -- and, personally, I feel more optimistic about the future knowing that nugget of information! He is also the President of the Rome Academy of Fine Arts, and wants to greatly enlarge an exchange program with Chinese students. He said something that struck me: "China is a school." I feel the same way about Venice -- that Venice is a school, filled with exceptional knowledge. The privilege of living in Venice is like living inside a breathing institution, alive with precious, exclusive gems of wisdom. An exchange of knowledge between China and Italy in general, Venice in particular, is something thrilling to imagine!
Boris Biancheri, was the Chairman of ANSA, the news agency mentioned earlier, until just a short while ago, as well as being a former diplomat -- he was the Italian Ambassador in Tokyo, London and Washington.
Federico Rampini is a columnist and Chinese correspondent for La Repubblica, as well as many other publications that might ring a bell or two:)
Davide Cucino graduated from Venice's own Ca' Foscari, and has lived and worked in China since the late 1980s. He suggested that Italy concentrate more on promoting its technology and mechanical equipment, and less on the products that already sell themselves, such as wine and fashion, etc.
Renzo Cavalieri, a law professor also at Ca' Foscari, spoke about the legal difficulties between Italy and China, and felt some laws were there simply to create an obstacle.
Space does not allow me to mention all the excellent speakers, but it was generally agreed that Italy has a rich cultural history to offer China. I also agree -- the information that Italy holds in its treasure chest should be exchanged with enlightened thinkers all over the world, not just for the good of Italy and China, but for the good of the entire planet. I did, however, make my eternal comment: that one of Italy's greatest natural resources are its women, and there is still a dire lack of female mindpower up on the podium. To put things into perspective: the conference itself was conceived by a woman and I applaud Michela Fontana for her brilliant effort. Some of the men spoke to me afterwards, and assured me they were aware of the situation and were making efforts to improve it. And once Venice gets her hydrogen power plant up and running, well, the possibilities are tremendously exciting!
I want to thank the Giorgio Cini Foundation for allowing me to attend the conference. It is deeply appreciated, and I came away with a much wider perspective than before I arrived. By the way -- the conference was open to everyone until seating was full, so if you had been in Venice on May 27, 28 and 29, and were hooked into the right network, you could have been there and blogged about it, too. Plus, it was free!
Ciao from Venice,

Puerto Rico Tip-Off Third Place Game: #17 North Carolina vs. Vanderbilt — 5:30 pm on ESPN2 (***)
After losing to an upstart Minnesota team on Friday, North Carolina and Harrison Barnes are trying to avoid going 1-2 in this tournament. The star freshman couldn't get anything to fall against the Golden Gophers as he shot a dreadful 0-12 from the floor. Vanderbilt is one of those teams that always seems to exceed expectations, mostly because of their underrated head coach Kevin Stallings. The Commodores had a strong second half against West Virginia in their last game but fell just short of a berth in the championship game of this event. John Jenkins shot it well from long range but was only 1-8 inside the arc. He figures to have more trouble penetrating and finishing against the taller UNC front court so you have to imagine he'll play to his strength and shoot quite a few threes yet again. This should be a closer game than some might imagine, mainly because both teams are playing their third game in four days and Stallings always gets his club to fight hard even when they aren't as talented. Vanderbilt seems to be doing a lot of work on figuring out its rotation as the minute distribution has been fairly balanced and spread out amongst many players. For UNC, Larry Drew II needs to take better care of the ball and get others more involved. His assists are down a bit to start the year but that could also be due to freshman Kendall Marshall earning some quality minutes at the point. North Carolina should win this game but it won't be easy. Vanderbilt is going to surprise some people this year whether it's this evening or later in the season.
Paradise Jam Semifinal: Old Dominion vs. Clemson — 6 pm on Fox College Sports (***)
Games like this, where contrasting styles go head to head, are always fun. In this case, the up-tempo Clemson Tigers meet an Old Dominion team that would like nothing more than to turn this game into a slow defensive struggle. Each team got a fairly easy draw in their first round game with Clemson knocking off Long Beach State and ODU taking care of St. Peter's, though the Monarchs had some trouble closing them out. Blaine Taylor's team has tall guards and wings who can really get after it on defense by using their length against smaller guards. That's exactly what they'll see in Clemson's Andre Young and Demontez Stitt. Both are talented players but it's going to be hard for them to get anything going against a stout Monarch defense that ranked tenth last year in defensive efficiency and is 20th so far this year. A great matchup should occur on the wing between each team's leading scorer, Ben Finney for ODU and Tanner Smith for Clemson. Both are listed at 6'5/220 and have enjoyed solid starts to the season. The teams are evenly matched inside height-wise as they each have two important players that stand at 6'8. You'd have to favor Devin Booker and Jerai Grant for Clemson against ODU's Frank Hassell and Keyon Carter. One statistic to watch is rebounding, where Old Dominion should enjoy an advantage. Clemson is definitely the more athletic team and probably the more talented one as well but we like the Monarchs to advance to the Paradise Jam finals in a close, low-scoring affair.
Charleston Classic Championship Game: #18 Georgetown vs. NC State — 7:30 pm on ESPNU (****)
NC State received some bad news late Saturday as ESPN.com's Andy Katz reported that senior forward Tracy Smith will miss three weeks with a knee injury suffered on Thursday against East Carolina. The Wolfpack had no problem against a decent George Mason squad as they placed five players in double figures in a balanced effort, but Georgetown is a different animal. Smith could really have helped NC State expose a suspect Georgetown front court but now they'll have to turn to others to make up for the loss. The most likely candidate to see his minutes and production increase is stud freshman C.J. Leslie. He scored 21 points in an opening night win over Tennessee Tech and figures to be a main contributor for Sidney Lowe this season. NC State is a very young team, even more so now without Smith in the lineup. That youth, including another freshman star Ryan Harrow, will be tested by the experienced, strong and versatile Georgetown back court trio of Chris Wright, Austin Freeman and Jason Clark. Clark has been a pleasant surprise for John Thompson III as he's increased his production quite a bit from last year. Georgetown's offense is predicated almost exclusively on the backcourt this season, a far cry from historical Georgetown teams dominated by front court strength. The Hoyas are relatively thin yet again with the three guards all logging over 30 minutes a game. Georgetown has tall players on the roster but they're very inexperienced and rather ineffective except for Julian Vaughn and Hollis Thompson. Look for NC State to take advantage inside early even without Smith and maybe jump out to a lead, but we expect the experienced Hoya back court to assert itself down the stretch as they did against Old Dominion and pull this one out.
Puerto Rico Tip-Off Championship Game: Minnesota vs. West Virginia — 8 pm on ESPN2 (****)
This is a terrific matchup between two teams that have exceeded expectations thus far. Tubby Smith's Gophers came up with a tremendous defensive effort against North Carolina on Friday en route to a 72-67 victory. This game features two teams of similar style in what should be a hard fought slugfest with the winner having a great chance to move into the national polls tomorrow. West Virginia has been a pleasant surprise led by Casey Mitchell. The senior guard dropped 31 points on Vanderbilt Friday on 9-15 FG. Bob Huggins' Mountaineers are showing a little more offensive prowess this season, averaging 84 PPG while still sticking to fundamental Huggy-ball traits defense and rebounding. Deniz Kilicli is a key player in this game considering the height he'll be going up against. Minnesota's big front court is led by Ralph Sampson III and Trevor Mbakwe and has been nothing short of dominant thus far. A win by the Gophers tonight should at least get them mentioned in the Big Ten title discussion even though they'll have their hands full going up against Michigan State, Ohio State and Illinois. Minnesota holds a big advantage inside against West Virginia and that should be the difference. Blake Hoffarber can match Mitchell on the wing and the point guard matchup is fairly even as well. Look for the Gophers to pound it down low early on in hopes of getting Kilicli in foul trouble and forcing Huggins to move smaller players into the post to defend. We wouldn't be surprised if WVU won, but Minnesota is on fire now and should keep rolling against the Mountaineers.
Paradise Jam Semifinal: Xavier vs. Seton Hall — 8:30 pm on Fox College Sports (***)
Injuries have been the story for Xavier this year but the Pirates could not escape the injury bug, either. Seton Hall leading scorer Jeremy Hazell could be out up to six weeks with a broken wrist suffered in Friday night's 83-78 win over Alabama. Hazell had been playing the best basketball of his career for Seton Hall, averaging 24 PPG on 53% FG and an absolutely insane 11-17 (65%) from three this year. While that is obviously a huge hit for first year head coach Kevin Willard, he has options to turn to. The guy who is going to have to step up in place of Hazell is Jamel Jackson, who had a 40 point game on 12-15 from three against defensive powerhouse VMI last year. Jackson has played quality minutes for the Hall so far and he'll have to be the deep shooting threat with Hazell gone. Seton Hall will have to focus its offense inside with Jeff Robinson and Herb Pope getting more touches. Robinson will be going up against Xavier's own Jeff Robinson who's had a solid start to the season after playing sparingly last year for coach Chris Mack. The Musketeers struggled in their first three games against weaker competition as the injuries have clearly taken their toll. Tu Holloway has picked up the slack, playing 120 out of 125 possible minutes in their three games while averaging 26/7/5. Holloway is going to be able to penetrate and dish to Robinson, Dante Jackson and Kenny Frease against a Seton Hall defense that's still a work in progress under Willard. For Seton Hall to win they're going to need big games out of Robinson and Pope along with someone from the back court stepping up whether it is Jackson or Jordan Theodore. Xavier is down from where they're accustomed to being in recent years but they still have enough talent to pick up a quality neutral court win. The Pirates have lots of talent even without Hazell but you'd have to favor Xavier in SH's first game without their leader. It should be a close game but Seton Hall will miss having the deep threat Hazell provides late in games.

Whether you are uprooting a tree or adding a gazebo, there's plenty to learn before beginning your project. Ignorance will lead to disaster, but reading this article should arm you with the tools you need to succeed.
Find out about the climate and hardiness zones of the plants you choose. Also think about whether annuals or perennials will work best for you. Keeping seasonal changes in mind is also important. It is very important that you know this information in order to get the best results from your landscaping experience.
Consider granite for your surfaces when installing a kitchen outdoors. While more costly, granite is a more durable and elegant material to use rather than marble.
Make the most of your landscape by growing a garden suitable for many seasons. Choose different kinds of plants for different seasons, which are appropriate depending on the soil and region. Evergreen trees and exotic tree species with notable foliage can also help preserve your landscape's year-round appeal.
Select plants wisely, because that could seriously affect the result of your overall landscaping project. You want to avoid things like putting plants that need lots of sunlight in a shady area. You don't want to plant a tree where there is little room for growth. Take time to be certain your plants will grow well where they are planted.
Landscaping does not only include the planting of trees and grasses. Look around your home and see where you can add things, such as iron structures, wood, and cement. Use decks, archways and pergolas to create attractive looks that are complex, beautiful and visually interesting. These are usually available in many different prices so you can stay in budget.
Landscaping is similar to any renovation you do in your home and just a small about of knowledge can go a long way. Learn all you can, and keep that knowledge in mind while planning your landscape project.

Villas with Beautiful Sunset views
Recently stayed at Aretai and all I can do is rave about this property and the villa. The villas are situated on the beautiful lagoon with sunset views that will amaze!!! The property managers Lawton and Marie are the best and were helpful in getting reservations for different island activities.I would highly recommend for families, friends or a romantic getaway!!! " Sept 2019
More than adequate...We stayed at Aretai in June 2018 as a side trip to our twelve night stay on Rarotonga. This was also our second time on Aitutaki (having experienced the day trip on our previous visit). We wanted a home base to explore the island and have something beach front to enjoy the sunsets and relax on our down time.I think Aretai delivered for us. The accommodation is pretty basic, but you've got all you need to be comfortable.Lawton was a great host. He picked us up at the airport, made reservations for dinner the first night, and helped secure the last van in town on very short notice (elections were being held and some government folks had all the vehicles).The path to the highest point on the island (beautiful overlook) is about 100 meters down the road toward town. Take the time to hike up there.The beach isn't adequate for swimming or snorkeling, but the sunsets are spectacular and you can wade out into the lagoon for quite a ways. After a day on the lagoon. High scores for the beauty of the place and the on-site manager Lawton. Should we ever be blessed to return for another extended stay on Aitutaki, Aretai would be a great option.
'A very quick note just to say we are back and what a fantastic time we had, the weather was superb, every day was fine and hot, Aitutaki is the most amazing place - the Lagoon Cruise would have to rate as one of the best things ever and is one of the worlds must do things!! The Villas were very comfortable, Tutai was just great and very helpful ... ... A huge thank you for the oppourtunity to enjoy the Villas and paradise...Colin and Vicki
'This place is superb! We couldn't have gone anywhere better. A great way to celebrate my 50th. ' GF NZ
'We came from Rarotonga where we also had a beautiful vacation. Here we have had an even more fantastic stay. Comfortable villas and a service minded Mama. Our highlights have been a boat trip with Kia Orana to Honeymoon Island , with fantastic snorkelling, an evening at coconut Crusher bar with local entertainment (song and dancing) and a service at the church. Thank you very much from us Norwegians. We will recommend Aitutaki to everyone!'
'Perfect for us: we like to have some meals out and the others cook at home. If we'd known the villas were quite this big , we'd have bought more of us! Mama Tai is very kind and creates a lovely warm vibe: scones when we arrived, milk and butter in the fridge even. Coconuts and paw paw just outside the door fresh to pick. We took advantage of the BBQ, the kayaks and the loan of mama's machete to crack open 'drinking coconuts'. E&S James
'Thankyou for 5 truly wonderful days in paradise in villa 3, which felt like home the moment we walked in and is equipped with all you could ask for. And to top it all off there is mama tahi, with her beautiful smile and loving warm nature to look after you-thank you'
Aitutaki was everything we hoped for and more, and Aretai was the perfect place for our small family to stay while there. We loved the exclusivity of our self-contained unit right on the beach and being able to see the lagoon and step right out onto it whenever we wanted to was awesome. The second bedroom was a godsend for our 10 month old, and the unit had everything we needed. Mama, in her 80s and quite the host, took care of anything else we needed with a friendliness we came to know as typical of this part of the world. We could see whales from our deck and the kayaks provided at Aretai gave us the freedom to experience the lagoon in a very different way. I would highly recommend Aretai for a romantic escape or a family holiday. We can't wait to go back!" Tammie Matson, author (http://www.tammiematson.com)
'We had the most awesome family holiday one could ever wish for- absolute paradise, It was cool. I had the time of my life. The snorkelling was better than "fnding Nemo' The heat was amazingly hot and it was winter! Overall I think it was our best holiday yet.' Katie (11)
'Staying here was the highlight of our trip to the Cook Islands! The villa was very comfortable and spacious and the view spectacular. Thanks Mama for making our stay very comfortable and for providing us with your delicious scones.' G,S & C Brisbane
'Staying here in this house on Aitutaki was the best week ever, we thank you mama for your hospitality which made it even more of a paradise! Hope to come back one day.' Otto & Daniela Austria.
'Our family holiday in the South Pacific has been truly "wonder- ful" It was lovely to begin our New Year in paradise. This was a long awaited holiday and it was amazing to truly be in the spots that we had only previously seen in our travel brochures and on the internet. It was everything we hoped for and more. Your beach villas are so spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The view from the couch will be a treasured memory of luxurious relaxation. The lagoon cruise on the big boat was fabulous and the one with Andrew of Kia Orana was even better.We leave reluctantly bu will take away "forever memories " to treasure always.'
'We've had a wonderful relaxing and comfortable stay with mama-just what we needed! The villas are a delight and so is mama. Thank you for the welcome scones, all the fresh fruit and the help and advice. A wonderful place to stay.' J,M & N Toowomba, Australia.

Officer injured in wrong way crash thanks supporters
A Milwaukee police officer seriously injured in a wrong-way car crash said he is very thankful for the public's support.
Police said Joshua Albert was nearly killed in an off-duty collision with a drunken driver.
Albert attended a fundraiser for him at Shank Hall on Wednesday evening.
"It's been a month since I've seen a lot of my coworkers and a lot of my friends, so this is kind of a reunion for me; a reunion after an accident that almost took me away," he said.
Albert's partner, Officer Katie Anderer, helped save his life. She said she was glad to see him recovering.
"It's amazing. I can't even explain the emotion I have. I don't want to lose it, but it's amazing," she said.
Mayor Tom Barrett proclaimed it to be Joshua Albert Day.
Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn also attended the event.
"It's just wonderful to see him laughing, smiling, eagerly talking about returning to work. He's an inspiration to all of us," Flynn said.
Albert said he does not remember much of the crash. He said he was looking forward to returning to duty by next summer.
"I'm doing fine. Hopefully by middle of December I'll be up walking. My physical therapist is very surprised by how well I'm doing so far, so I'm hoping for a quick recovery," he said.
Albert said he had not heard from the woman who crashed into him on Interstate 94. He said he did not hold a grudge against her and that it was just a bad set of circumstances, saying that things happen for a reason.

More De Toth, you say? OK!
De Toth, among many other things, was second unit director on LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (and Nicholas Roeg was his cameraman), during the later part of his career when he also produced BILLION DOLLAR BRAIN for Ken Russell and generally did things other than directing his own films. On LAWRENCE, most of his ideas were rejected ("Revolting!" Lean would say) but he was still very useful to the production.
When Sam Spiegel decided that Lean was never going to finish the film in Arabia and arranged to have the unit shifted to Almeria, Spain, it was decided that the production would have to buy some camels and import them. I think the figure was fifty camels, including ten silver racing camels.
(Stop me if you've heard this before.)
De Toth is presented with a problem. Several production personnel have visited the sheik, and arranged to buy these camels, but the deal never seems to go through — the camels don't come. André is the muggins who must go and investigate.
The deal is agreed once again, over a banquet. Then, the sheep's eyeballs are brought in. A rare delicacy. De Toth shrewdly realises the problem. All the previous production emissaries have refused to partake of this treat — a fatal insult to the sheik. To make sure the deal goes through, De Toth must chow down on ovine orb.
For a brief moment he imagines that the consumed eye will replace his own missing left eye. He pops the thing in his mouth. Not so bad. Yes it is. Worse! Unendurably repugnant. He swallows, the sheik is appeased, and De Toth will awaken gagging for many nights to come, re-experiencing the traumatic sweetmeat.
De Toth and the camels and their herders go to Spain.
One morning, he is awakened in his hotel suite by the smell of camel dung. The camel herders are standing round his bed. They have bad news. The camels have escaped. All of them. How has this happened? Nobody knows.
Imagining haveing to return to Arabia and eat another sheep eye, De Toth pulls out all the stops. Soon he has the Guardia Civil sifting the dunes for his fugitive ruminants. Partial success! All ten of the silver racing camels are recaptured, but only 37 of the regular ones.
Defeated, De Toth reports the camel shortfall to Lean's trusted assistant, an indefatigable and resourceful woman. "Mr. Lean specifically asked for 50 camels and I only have 47." She thinks. "We won't tell him," she decides.
Lean goes into battle with 47 camels and never notices the difference. Nobody thinks to count them.
As for the missing camels, De Toth reports that they were still living in the Spanish desert when he shot PLAY DIRTY there some years later, adding enormously to the conviction of his North African setting. "We could never have afforded them otherwise."
Almeria in those days was such a popular location that film shoots would actually collide — De Toth's armoured vehicles would break into the background of Edward Dmytryk's western SHALAKO, while Dmytryk's cowboys and Indians rampaged across De Toth's WWII campaign.

Bees cannot digest pollen, they can digest bee bread which is like the difference between milk and fermented milk (like keifer or yogurt). Bee bread is a fermented product that requires pollen, several kinds of bacteria, several kinds of yeasts and a two stage fermentation process.
What exactly is the goal beyond the goal and methods the bees already use to stock up pollen for the winter?
Bocha --talk to finski -he has successful build up method--perhaps you could incorporate pollen box into your program--how many boxes are you wintering in--RDY-B
... the fact is a hive will not starve for lack of protein, it just won't raise brood.
I'm not sure what all the issues are in Europe. I assume GMO plants are not allowed so you wouldn't get GMO pollen right?

Tax Errors To Avoid
Tax day is coming up and if you have procrastinated to this point, be sure and take the time to limit mistakes that could happen as the deadline approaches. April 15 is the deadline to file your 2012 tax return and the IRS says if you haven't filed yet, take your time because a mistake may delay your refund.
According to the IRS, the most common errors on tax returns are names and Social Security numbers that don't match.
Karen Connelly, IRS spokesperson warns,
"If you changed your name, tell the Social Security Administration before you file your tax return, And parents need to obtain Social Security numbers for children in order to claim tax exemptions for them."
The next most common mistakes are math errors and using the wrong filing status.
"Make sure you choose which of the five filing statuses best fits your situation, Your filing status is used to determine your filing requirements, standard deduction, eligibility for certain credits, and your correct tax."
About 80 percent of tax returns are e-filed so the software does the math, helps taxpayers avoid mistakes and claim all the credits they are eligible for. As many as one in five eligible workers don't claim the Earned Income Tax Credit that can be worth as much as $5,891.
Keep in mind if you are preparing a paper return, be sure to review all arithmetic for accuracy, clearly print all information, attach a copy of Form W-2 from each of your employers and all other necessary schedules. Before putting a paper return in an envelope, make sure to sign and date it. Use the correct mailing address from the tax form instructions and use enough postage.
"If you're married, both spouses must sign a joint return, An unsigned tax return is like an unsigned check – it's invalid."
Direct deposit will get your refund in your bank faster, but double check the financial institution routing and account numbers or it may be returned to the IRS.

The NIH awards $13 million to create a computer model of a lab rat.
By Jessica P. Johnson
Lab rats are finally catching a break. The Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee has received a 5-year, $13 million grant to establish a National Center for Systems Biology, reports Newswise. The first task of the Center will be to create a virtual lab rat—a computer model that will gather all available research data for rats into one place.
By integrating the widespread data into a single model, researchers will be able to better understand rat physiology as a whole and to predict how multiple systems will interact in response to environmental and genetic causes of disease. They will also be able to input multiple causes at once and observe the virtual rat's physiological response. The research will focus on diseases including hypertension, renal disease, heart failure, and metabolic syndromes.
"The Virtual Physiological Rat allows us to create a model for disease that takes into account the many genes and environmental factors believed to be associated," Daniel Beard, a computational biologist and the principal investigator on the grant, said in a press release.
But rats aren't completely off the hook. Once the computer model generates hypotheses about systemic response to disease, researchers will use the information to produce new knockout strains of rats to verify the model's predictions.

"The power balance in the real estate world is shifting faster than ever. Travel titans, search engines, investment oracles and government entities all want to change the way we do business. Most just want to control a larger piece of the pie." (Source)
In the everyday functioning of a real estate office, attracting and retaining agents is a top priority. Real estate, although a volatile market, is a rather stable numbers game when it comes to the number of agents entering versus retiring. With that being said, the ability of a broker or agent to increase sales production and income often comes at the expense of competing agents and brokers.
The common element in this competitive personal marketplace is the multiple listing service [MLS]. "The multiple listing service could be called the referee for our regional activities." (Source) MLS standardizes practices and creates/enforces a plethora of rules. Some agents appreciate the consistency. Some agents loathe the rules impeding into their business. That very tension is where the greatest value of MLS is hidden. An authoritative entity used for the creation of industry wide standards is crippled if it is not also give the ability to enforce. Because of this, MLS is a uniquely powered organization. Realtor organizations, a variety of brokerages, part-time and full time agents, and the MLS staff all work together to generate consistency within real estate listings—the driving force for all real estate movement.
As the real estate industry is becoming increasingly more technologically driven, the tech driven entrepreneurs within the agent community seem to be leaning more toward unified solutions grounded in the network already in place—MLS.
The future of MLS may very well be a more regulated national oversight service. Many pressures on the real estate community are encouraging MLS to get more teeth. The alternative would be that brokers could forge different agreements with the same portals like multiple buyers competing for a home. Everyone could begin undercutting everyone else. There would be no uniformity of goal. So keep your eye on the real estate Multiple Listing Service… I am interested to see where this goes.

What I feel is not anger, but rather patriotic duty. America is a grand experiment in self-determination, individual liberty, and innovation: an experiment not worth conceding without a fight.On New Year's Eve, with almost no mainstream media attention given to it, President Barack Obama signed the National defence Authorization Act of 2012, or NDAA, into law. Since I am not an attorney, I will fall back on the ACLU's analysis of this disastrous new law: "On December 31, 2011, President Obama signed the National defence Authorization Act (NDAA), codifying indefinite military detention without charge or trial into law for the first time in American history. The NDAA's dangerous detention provisions would authorise the president — and all future presidents — to order the military to pick up and indefinitely imprison people captured anywhere in the world, far from any battlefield."
Think about those words: indefinite military detention without charge or trial.
Obama's administration, and all future administrations (including a Romney or Gingrich administration), can now use the military to detain individuals, including political dissidents — even American citizens on U.S. soil — without trial or formal charges. Without court involvement or a jury deciding you are actually guilty. And "detain" is really a euphemism for IMPRISON, of course. You won't be spending the lunch hour in detention. You'll be in a semi-secret military black site, without access to your attorney, potentially for life.
This is what kings do. This is what bloodthirsty dictators do. This is not what freely elected American presidents are authorised by the Constitution to do.
Moving on: Obama also signed into law something which attacks your First Amendment rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of speech. No, this is not an Onion article.
You see, the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act of 2011, or Trespass Bill, signed into law by Barack Obama on March 9, 2012, "potentially makes peaceable protest anywhere in the U.S. a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison." More specifically, peaceful protest within proximity to those protected by the Secret Service, including presidential candidates and the President, may be a federal felony now. (Source.)
Even worse: a former high-ranking NSA official, who spent more than three decades within the spy agency, just yesterday came out in a nationally televised interview and asserted that more than 20 trillion (yes, with a T) of American citizens' communications have been intercepted — mostly without a warrant or judicial review of any kind.
One could say that William Binney, a whistleblowing patriot of the highest order, is now toward the top of the list of people who might experience a "slip in the shower" or "unexpected suicide" within the next few weeks.
Furthermore, the NSA is now building a $2 billion data centre in Utah to crunch all of this data. In other words, $2 billion of our taxpayer dollars are going toward spying on American citizens within the U.S. without warrant or court approval. This is not only an outlandish waste of money, it's illegal.
Also: reporters at ridiculously mainstream publication USA Today are now claiming that Pentagon-sponsored "propaganda contractors" have initiated a widespread character assassination and reputation destroying campaign against them.
This is not the America I learned about in school. I want my country back.
Am I willing to sacrifice my reputation for this? Am I willing to sacrifice my life for this? Sure.
People throughout history have sacrificed far more, for far less.
The next time a TSA agent at the airport gropes your wife in front of you, massages her breasts and places his hand on her genitals, you may want to speak up. You may want to remind yourself that you are an American citizen — with rights and duties vested in you by the Constitution — and not a coward living in some creeper starvation state like North Korea.
Wake up, speak up, and don't trust the pacifying mainstream media — which has lost more than 50% of its viewers since last year, due to their inability (or unwillingness) to cover these crucial issues. They are complicit in the destruction of your basic civil rights, and your dignity.

Diesel destined for GM midsize pickups; Chevy launches special editions - Chron.com
Come fall, the 2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon will get a big dose of torque, thanks to GM's newest Duramax diesel engine. 8-liter four-cylinder generates 369 lb. -ft. of peak torque at 2,000 rpm, boosting tow ratings to 7,700 pounds for 2WD Colorados and Canyons. The new Duramax uses a variable geometry turbocharger to help the engine deliver a useful torque band. Four-wheel-drive pickups get a new two-speed transfer case. "It is a no-compromise turbocharged engine that is also really fun to drive, with excellent responsiveness," said Scott Yackley , assistant chief engineer. "It was designed specifically for trucks and has undergone many of the same validation tests as the 6. 6-liter Duramax, contributing to legendary Duramax durability and reliability. GM's diesel-powered midsize pickups will come standard with a driver-selectable exhaust brake. In cruise mode, the exhaust brake is integrated with the pickups' cruise-control system and helps maintain a preset speed while descending grades. To get the 2. 8-liter Duramax, buyers will have to step up to a Canyon SLE and SLT or Colorado LT and Z71. The diesel engine package, only available with crew cabs, carries a $3,730 premium over comparably equipped 3. 6-liter V6 pickups. Source: www.chron.com

As much as we love drag racing and the pursuit of speed, every now and again a video like this comes along and reminds us just how dangerous our much-loved, speed-based hobby can be. It starts out innocently enough, during a grudge race at Outlaw... A 3,000 hp twin turbo Camaro trundles up into the far lane while a blown Chevrolet pickup sipping E85 warms up the tires and rolls onto his mark. Meanwhile, the truck's right rear tires gently rolls across the track, striking the tire wall just inches from the lens of the cameraman from 1320video. Watch the Camaro fly down the track and picture it losing a wheel near the end of the 1,320. Yup, something tells us the driver of the pickup knows he got lucky this time around.

2015 Chevy Silverado Midnight Edition review notes: Always bet on black - Autoweek
Midnight Silverado 1500 pickup is surprisingly restrained. ROAD TEST EDITOR JAKE LINGEMAN: This pickup is what Barney Ross from "The Expendables" would drive if he didn't have that sweet old '55 Ford. It's the best looking stock truck on the market, hands down. The Midnight Edition adds black everything making this truck look super sinister, but also ready for off-road work with those tall, knobby tires. This crew cab edition looks to have plenty of space for coworkers in back, but this ride is almost too nice for the daily grind. I'd add a big push bar to keep the look going. The big V8 has plenty of power once you're rolling, but trying to take off hard from a stop just gets you wheel hop and jerkiness. Backing out of spaces and moving slowly, this truck doesn't feel as big as I thought it would. The eight-speed auto is smooth and doesn't have a lot of surge when changing gears. Like I said, it has those giant tires, which weren't that loud at speed, but look like they could go through or over anything. There's a lot of wheel well and a lot of travel in those dampers. I didn't take it off-road, but I would have if 'd had time. Source: autoweek.com
