Dear Comrades and Compatriots,
By now the hangovers and revelry have subsided, and most folks are looking back at the year we have left behind and have begun planning for the future. The year 2012 has been one of hope and of heartbreak for those in the pro-white movement. The loss of great minds such as Louis R. Andrews and Arthur Jensen was tragic and they will be missed greatly. The never-ending flood of non-white immigrants to the West, savage attacks by the Left against our compatriots, and ever-rising levels of crime against whites worldwide would leave any sane person depressed. While I myself grieve for the victims of the war against our people, the future for our cause is looking brighter every single day. More and more right-wingers have realized that the mainstream political parties are not our allies, but rather our foes. The Republican Party does not care about stopping illegal immigration, protecting the Constitution, or even reducing the size of government. Millions of Americans have finally realized that the GOP and other centrist groups are not the answer. What we need is Revolution, not compromise with those who hate us, our people, and our values.
Globally, groups like the White Student Union in America and Generation Identitaire in France display the rising battle cry of the white youth: "White Guilt Is Over and There Shall Be No Retreat!"
Though long asleep, it appears to me that the folk are awakening from their slumber and beginning to fight back against our enemies who wish to tear us from our ancestral homelands and drive us to the brink of extinction. As 2013 dawns, it is evident that the white race has a choice to make: Shall we go silently into the night and be put down like an ailing pet? Or shall we stand and fight with the resolve of our brave ancestors like Stonewall Jackson, King Leonidas, and Erwin Rommel?
My friends, our enemies' wealth is vast, their control of our governments and media is near absolute, and even members of our own people have sided with them to destroy us. In the face of such adversity, how are we to succeed? The answer is simple, my friends: fight back.
For too long the white race has been terrified of the Left slandering them in the media. The result has been that millions of people have sat at home for generations, only willing to mutter their thoughts under their breath after they had made sure the coast was clear. I understand this, my friends; I was there not too long ago. I remember the days of thinking "politically incorrect" thoughts but making sure to keep them to myself while working with the College Republicans. I smiled and nodded when the politicians I worked to support sold me out time after time on the issues that really mattered. They told me that tax cuts for millionaires were what we must fight for and that people who wanted to control immigration, stop the murder of the unborn, or support the 2nd Amendment were all "extremists." They told me that I should keep away from that kind of talk for fear of alienating independent voters. I sat in the pew of a Church that told me that supporting illegal immigrants was "social justice" and that Jesus wanted me to support sending cruise missiles and endless tax dollars to Israel because the Jews are "God's Chosen People." I kept my views on race a secret in GOP meetings because conservatism is supposed to be the "Big Tent Party" and only race-baiting Leftists talked about the dreaded "R Word." Finally, my friends, I came to a choice that every single one of us has to make at some point: Would I watch the death of everything I love and do nothing for the hope of a few shekels and a modest middle class life? Or would I believe that there is something in this world worth fighting for that is more valuable than dollars, pounds, Euros, or rubles?
That is a question that all of us must ask ourselves. Going to a Tea Party rally or saying a few jokes at the pub with your buddies is not what is needed to stop the death of our civilization. Action is what is needed, my friends, and 2012 showed me that action is possible. Legions of whites around the globe have taken to the streets, organized against the Globalist New World Order, and begun to express their identity throughout this past year. While freeing our people from this political, social, and economic slavery will not be easy, it is possible. Come together now and let 2013 be the year where we finally shout "No!" to the banksters, foreign influences, and traitors. Let them know that we will not go along like sheep to the slaughter with their anti-white agenda, and instead we will fight them until they pay for what they have done and until our people are once again free. Let 2013 be the year that we put aside our petty differences and unite together under one banner. Let 2013 be the year that the history books will record as the rising of the dawn for our people.
Tomorrow is always too late. Go out there and do something today, comrades, to guarantee a future not only for yourself but also for your children. May God bless all of you and may we all stand united.
-Towson WSU Commander Matthew Heimbach

In case you didn't save your brush and leaf collection schedule that was included in the last issue of the Tree City Bulletin, I thought it made sense to share those details again here in the Blog as the leaf and brush collection season is officially underway.
The City of Kent 2010 Fall Brush Collection Program
The 2010 Fall Brush Collection Program will commence Monday, October 4th 2010.
Brush will be collected in the Northeast and Southeast Quadrants of the City
Monday, October 4th to Friday, October 15th 2010
Brush will be collected in the Northwest and Southwest Quadrants of the City
Monday, October 18th to Friday, October 29th 2010
Crews will make only one pass down each street during the scheduled collection period. Please place your brush at the curb prior to the first Monday of your collection period, as there will not be a second pass in your neighborhood. Residents that miss the collection will be responsible to dispose of their brush on their own. It may be taken to the City Yard Waste Transfer Site located on Plum Street near the entrance to Plum Creek Park.
2010 Fall Leaf Collection Program
The 2010 Leaf Collection Program will begin November 1st 2010 and end December 17th 2010. Loose leaves will not be picked up during the Spring of 2011.
Leaf Collection Crews will pick up leaves on a continual basis throughout the scheduled program. The Leaf Collection Truck will travel down each street in your quadrant and will then repeat the same route throughout the scheduled collection period.
Bagged Leaves
If you prefer to bag your leaves, please place them on the curb and call the Service Department at 330-678-8105 to request a bagged leaf pickup. The deadline for bagged leaf pickup requests is Friday, December 17th 2010.
Leaf Drop Off
Residents may take leaves to the Yard Waste Site, located at the entrance to Plum Creek Park. Please remember to empty the bags and take them with you when dropping leaves at the site.
If you have questions regarding either program please call the Service Department at 330-678-8105.
FirstEnergy Vegetation Management The City of Kent Service Department has been notified by FirstEnergy that contracted tree care professionals will be trimming trees in the City of Kent for overhead line clearance beginning in October 2010.
To help maintain safe, reliable electric service, FirstEnergy's Vegetation Management Program controls trees, shrubs and brush growing around their facilities and equipment – including power lines.

The World Trade Organization's (WTO) largest annual outreach event the Public Forum, which was held at WTO headquarters in Geneva on 27 – 29 September, saw widespread participation by representatives from civil society, academia, business, the media, governments, parliamentarians and inter-governmental organizations.
The theme for this year's forum, 'Inclusive Trade', was especially relevant given the changing business environment and slowing growth witnessed in many economies around the world. The forum called for encouraging small enterprises, women and innovative businesses to take an active role in the global trading system. Citing that no part of the world has been successful in trading globally without first learning to trade with its neighbors, the forum urged greater multilateral trade both regionally and internationally.
African representatives at the forum were eager to push forward greater intra-continent trade saying that economic integration among African nations was critical to the continent's long-term growth and success. Addressing the forum, the Secretary-General of UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) Mukhisa Kituyi said: "African countries are boosting intra-regional trade and deepening economic integration at a time when many politicians in the global North are raising doubts about the benefits of trade."
"Africa is widely noted for its low levels of intra-regional trade, but in fact the levels are much higher when North Africa is removed from the analysis. For instance, in East Africa, intra-regional trade is closer to 26 percent, the same level as in Latin America," added the Secretary-General.
Meanwhile, African nations are moving ahead with preparations for a Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA), which will bring together more than one billion people in 54 African countries with a combined gross domestic product of more than $3.4 trillion.
Change is already happening. In the space of a year, the time required to move a container from Mombasa in Kenya to Kampala in Uganda has dropped from 48 days to four. "That is progress," said Mr. Kituyi, "more intra-African trade will lead to fairer, more equitable growth and the creation of more and better jobs, as well as help achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals."
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

Making sure that bribes don't pay
Filed under - Conventions
In December 1997 the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention was signed in Paris. This was a major breakthrough because it committed the world's leading exporting countries to prohibit bribery, thereby aiming to turn off the spigot on the supply-side of global corruption. Previously only one government had made foreign bribery a crime. Most other governments had treated foreign bribe payments as legitimate business expenses for tax purposes. It is now universally recognized that foreign bribery distorts competition, undermines good governance, and hurts the most vulnerable.
The OECD and Transparency International have worked together to promote the implementation of the Convention. After fifteen years there has been much progress. All 40 parties have passed laws making foreign bribery a crime. However, enforcement, the key to the success of the Convention, remains uneven. Almost half of the parties, including many of the larger exporters, have taken action. As of December 2011, 300 companies and individuals have been sanctioned under criminal proceedings for foreign bribery. Sixty-six individuals have been sentenced to prison. Many companies have been subjected to large fines; one company faced combined sanctions of EUR 1.24 billion. Another 300 investigations are underway.
However, in over half of the parties there has been little or no enforcement. Investigating and prosecuting foreign bribery is difficult and expensive and some governments have been unwilling or unable to muster the required resources. This problem has been aggravated by the adoption of much more sophisticated methods by bribe payers and bribe collectors. Bribery is now conducted through layers of intermediaries and complex money-laundering schemes.

This is Sunday's mani. Two coats of Smoke and Ashes by China Glaze. A practically black base loaded with blue/green/gold duochrome shimmer. Very different and beautiful in person. It's practically a one coater. I used Sold Out For Ever by Catrice on ring fingers. Also two coats. Then I stamped the snakeskin pattern from Bundle Monster 215 on ring fingers using Smoke and Ashes to tie it all in. *love*
Happy Polishing!

Smoothing Transitions
10 Steps to Making Change Easier
by Madisyn Taylor
Change can be hard for anyone, following these ideas below can make it a little less stressful.
1. Begin by making small changes or break up large-scale changes into more manageable increments. This can make you feel better about handling the changes you are about to make while making you more comfortable with change in general.
2. Mentally link changes to established daily rituals. This can make changes like taking on a new habit, starting a new job, or adapting to a new home happen much more smoothly. For example, if you want to begin meditating at home, try weaving it into your morning routine.
3. Going with the flow can help you accept change instead of resisting it. If you stay flexible, you will be able to ride out change without too much turbulence.
4. When a change feels most stressful, relief can often be found in finding the good that it brings. An illness, a financial loss, or a broken relationship can seem like the end of the world, yet they also can be blessings in disguise.
5. Remember that all change involves a degree of learning. If you find change particularly stressful, try to keep in mind that after this period of transformation has passed, you will be a wiser person for it.
6. Remember that upheaval and confusion are often natural parts of change. While we can anticipate certain elements that a change might bring, it is impossible to know everything that will happen in advance. Be prepared for unexpected surprises, and the winds of change won't easily knock you over.
7. Don't feel like you have to cope with changing circumstances or the stress of making a change on your own. Talk about what's going on for you with a friend or write about it in a journal. Sharing your feelings can give you a sense of relief while helping you find the strength to carry on.
8. Give yourself time to accept any changes that you face. And as change happens, recognize that you may need time to adjust to your new situation. Allow yourself a period of time to reconcile your feelings. This can make big changes feel less extreme.
9. No matter how large or difficult a change is, you will eventually adapt to these new circumstances. Remember that regardless of how great the change, all the new that it brings will eventually weave itself into the right places in your life.
10. If you're trying to change a pattern of behavior or navigate your way through a life change, don't assume that it has to be easy. Wanting to cry or being moody during a period of change is natural. Then again, don't assume that making a change needs to be hard. Sometimes, changes are meant to be that easy.

Smoothing Transitions - 10 Steps to Making Change Easier
From Tuesday's Daily Om, a list of ten steps to smooth transitions - to make change easier and less daunting. There's nothing much to disagree with here, although I would probably add number 11. Take a walk in the woods, along a creek or river, in the mountains, or in a desert, but get out into nature. Doing so helps us put our own struggles in perspective.

Facebook has become a popular social media site for young people to share photos without embarrassment, in order to flaunt their style and attract attention.
Hot photos, however, have also provoked stern words of warning from parents and criticism that the activity extends to pornography.
Sok Jesmine, 27, a ballet dancer, loves to take sexy photos in various poses and outfits that reveal her naval and upper breasts. She shares them on Facebook, where they get a lot of comments from friends.
"I enjoy doing it because I want to have freedom of showing my beauty to the others. I don't care about the criticism." Jesmine says. "I prefer showing to hiding because everyone loves [it]."
However, her mother – Kim Arn, 50 – doesn't like to see Jesmine looking too sexy; although, she is pleased to see her look modern and beautiful.
Phin Samnang, 20, a student at the Royal University of Law and Economics, says that she loves taking photos in sexy or hot styles, and sharing them with her friends on Facebook.
"In this era, everyone wants to look sexy. But I don't share any naked pictures," she says.
Soum Sothon, 25, a student at Human Resource University, says that there are a lot of pornographic pictures or photos that have been shared on his wall or timeline.
"I saw nude women with various styles," he says. "I love to see those photos because I am a man."
It's not just women who share these photos, but also men. San Setpheap, 24, a designer at a private company, says he likes taking pictures with his shirt-off or showing his chest – it's an art, he says.
"These pictures are artistic. I feel very happy when someone admires my strange style of photo taking," he says. "I don't feel embarrassed because it is simple for me: I am an artist."
Neang Saralaya, 21, a student at National University of Management says that she does not like men or women who take photos in a sexy or hot ways.
"It may be he or she wants to attract the others," she says. "However, some photos which are posted on Facebook are too pornographic."
It's not illegal to share naked photos, but sharing pornographic photos of children younger than 15 is punishable up to one year, according to Sok Sam Oeun, director of Amrin Law and Consultants Group.
"If we take illegally nude or private photos of someone, we will be punished in jail from a month up to one year with a fine," he says.
He adds that if Facebook users are uncomfortable with their friends' actions, they can block or remove friends, or report them for spam.
In response to this, Yim Nimola, executive director of Khmer Women's Voice Centre says, "The wide-spread use of pornographic and cruel photos on Facebook is caused by the deceleration of social morality," she says. "In order to make a change, we have to educate youths to be good citizens right from the beginning of their education. The youths share only useful information, which is not harmful to others. Parents should pay much more attention."
Khieu Kanharith, Minister for Information, says that the Ministry can do nothing about sexy, hot and pornographic photos on Facebook: if the pornographic pictures are printed in newspaper, the Ministry will take action. Facebook is out of their control.
"We cannot take any action, otherwise there will be reaction that our action is a kind of censorship and limitation of freedom of expression," he says.

In previous years, I have (when I remembered to do so!) had a brief trawl through some of my favourite gift-giving websites to see what ridiculous (in my opinion) presents I could find. Presents I personally probably wouldn't thank you for. Well, I would thank you, because 1) I'm polite and 2) I'd be grateful that you thought of me but . . . I might not be all that enthralled with the thought.
So what are we looking at this year? Let's dive in, shall we?
ONE . . .First up, we have this "Calm the F*ck Down Tea" from Firebox.
Not to be completely ungrateful, but . . . at £9.99 you could buy me 1 and a half bottles of half decent wine and I'd probably be quite a lot calmer. Or, if I'm trying to be a bit less of a booze-head, I'd genuinely settle for some Twinings...I've never tried that salted caramel green tea one as it's never bloody on offer but it's still a damn sight cheaper than this tea! ;-)
TWO . . . I may not be a scientist, but I feel I can safely say, without proof, that this anti-sarcasm breath spray from Find Me A Gift really really works...
*sprays some*
THREE . . . Want to thoroughly deflate someone? These balloons may help.
I'm actually feeling a bit upset just looking at them so they do get the job done I guess. I just wouldn't particularly want them as a stocking filler.
FOUR . . . From I Want One of Those, we have a grow-your-own-Christmas-tree box in with the gift ideas. Is it only me who sees the flaw in this?
By the time I get my gift, Christmas will be nearly over.... I no longer have the need for a Christmas tree. Oh, and it takes 18 months to sprout into a full tree so I am not going to have it for next Christmas either. Oh well...
FIVE . . . I'm pretty sure this one would go down really well as a gift in your office Secret Santa.
Maybe not.
So that's a wrap (pun most definitely not intended) for this year; join us again next year (if I remember) for another round-up of some gifts I really would not thank you for. As always, this is intended to be a very much tongue-in-cheek post, the links have been included if you actually are considering buying any of these for your friends or yourself.
But . . . please don't buy any of these for me,. You have been warned.
Check out here, here and here for previous editions of The Gift of Giving. I'll be honest; there's probably a better choice of ridiculous gifts in the old versions. I miss the past. :-(

Film by Will Stauffer-Norris and NRS Films
"You've got to believe in the power of the river to take care of itself. You've got to believe it just makes sense for there to be free flowing rivers in the world and for people to be able to experience them." — Travis Winn, Last Descents River Expeditions
Meet Travis Winn, an American who traveled to China for the first time 15 years ago to join his dad on a first descent of the headwaters of the Salween River in Tibet. On that first trip Travis realized that most Chinese citizens had no way to get out and experience free-flowing rivers. And later he learned that at the rate these rivers were being damned, very few people would ever have a chance to see them in their pristine and natural state. Risking his mental and physical health, Travis continues to strive toward his personal goal to bring the Chinese people closer to their rivers.

Occidental College's faculty has asked that a minute of silence be observed on campus at 10:30 a.m. today to symbolize the faculty's opposition to the college's investments in companies that do business in South Africa.
The event, called for by the faculty as a whole two weeks ago in a strongly worded resolution, is one of many being staged at colleges and universities across the country to protest South Africa's system of apartheid, or forced racial separation.
The faculty also has proposed that students and faculty fast at lunchtime today and donate the money they would have spent on food to a fund to support South African Bishop Desmond Tutu, who won the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his anti-apartheid work.
Events Considered Unusual
Occidental's events are considered unusual since most colleges are staging rallies and sit-ins as methods of protest. Also, although most of the protests have been organized by students, the impetus for events at Occidental came from the faculty.

Heatwaves that shimmer reality towards nightmares, water shortages and power cuts likewise turn life — and gardening — into a massive endurance test that is increasingly difficult to tolerate.
In such dire circumstances, anything that makes life easier is to be welcomed with open arms, therefore, whilst there is no immediate solution to the rapidly-increasing climate change and associated problems this brings or to a paucity of water, the fact that there is a water and labour-saving method of gardening, is wonderful news indeed.
No, this is not a sales blurb for fancy, ultra-expensive, computerised or other gadget assisted irrigation techniques but a realistic, much-needed, step backwards in time to a lesson which should have been well-learnt from history.
A newer term for an old method of gardening that should have been learnt from history
It has new names now, names intended to make it sound like a brand new, therefore 'modern', discovery but the truth is that 'Sunken garden beds', 'Lasagna gardening', call it what you will or what the latest crop of gardening gurus decide, it came into being hundreds and hundreds of years ago, possibly in ancient Syria first, before being popularised by the Moghuls.
Quite simply, this incredibly simple, ultra sensible, water-saving gardening method which should never have fallen out of fashion let alone by the wayside, consists of cultivating vegetables, flowers, herbs, even shrubs and trees in self-shaded, water-retentive, below actual soil level, meticulously created beds which, by the by, feed themselves, organically, too.
Making such a bed isn't at all difficult and costs very little — if anything at all.
It is best to make a series of reasonably-sized beds rather than one large, unmanageable one: anything from approximately two meters x one meter up to four meters x two meters being ideal.
After marking out the perimeter of the bed, remove the top three inches of 'top soil', weeding as you go, and set aside. Excavate a further 12 inches or so of what is called 'sub-soil' — this contains very little plant nutrition — and use this sub-soil to raise the ground level, equally, all around the excavated hole, to the width of an acceptable footpath, firmly tamping it down as you go so that it remains in place then, when this is done to your satisfaction, cover it with lengths of strong cardboard — recycled cardboard boxes are perfect for this — to form a weed proof, raised footpath around the under-construction bed.
Next: Spread a layer of wet newspapers in the base of the hole, laying them up to an inch or so thick. On top of the newspaper layer, spread a one- to two-inch deep layer of old, well-rotted, preferably organic animal/chicken manure, and give it a good watering to settle it into place. Then add the next layer of 'lasagna' using, this time, something nitrogen rich and green such as lawn clippings, weeds (as long as they have no seeds attached), fruit/vegetable peels, coffee grounds/tea leaves, etc. Water it down once more and continue doing so between each brown (carbon) and green (nitrogen) layer until the 'lasagna' is almost level with the original surrounding ground area.
The 'lasagna topping' is then kept aside, original top soil mixed 50/50 with either well-rotted manure or organic compost or 50 percent top soil, 25 percent manure and 25 percent compost. Top off the 'lasagna' with this, mounding it up if necessary and then watering it down.
Leave, undisturbed, for a week or so then water it, leave for a second week when, all going well, you will clearly see that the 'lasagna' is sinking down. Water it again, allow it a third week, by which time, as the ingredients are decomposing, it should have sunk some more which is when you can get to grips with planting it. If putting in plants/plug plants/shrubs or trees, plant them in the normal way, digging down through the 'lasagna' layers and thoroughly water in as per usual and continue irrigating regularly until the transplants are settled into place.
This is when the natural composition of the sunken bed will take over. Not only will this sunken bed retain moisture, it will also generate moisture as the layers rot down (these layers releasing all the necessary plant nutrients as they do so), plus, it will automatically attract soil moisture from the immediate surrounding into itself too, thus incredibly reducing the need for actual irrigation. If sowing seeds, these are sown as per usual and watered as per usual until the resultant plants are well-established, at which juncture, the gardener needs to keep a vigilant eye on soil moisture, only watering when absolutely essential.
The initial hard labour of excavating, assembling and arranging ingredients, is well worth the effort, as is the seasonal topping up of additional layers in between crops.
Green ingredients include: grass clippings, green leaves, organic manure, organic compost, vegetable/fruit waste — if you don't have enough of this there is often lots dumped next to fruit markets and bazaars — coffee grounds/ tea leaves, any green plant material as long as it is free from pests and diseases.
Brown ingredients include: newspapers, cardboard — if used in the actual 'lasagna' it is best to tear up or shred if possible — straw, sawdust, dry leaves, twigs, coconut waste.
The ingredients, both green and brown, are those that would normally be used in composting and, in a different kind of way, this is exactly what you are doing but in a pit not in a bin or heap.

Too worked up to even type. You telling me they got rules against even making fucking water balloons and using water guns in the scouts now? Is this real fucking life?
Thank god, I must have been part of the last wave of scouts to come up when there were sane, decent, sound-minded adults running the show. I got to fire black powder rifles when I was 10 years old with the PA Hunters & Anglers. Survival camping, hiking, fishing, swimming, emergency preparedness, rifling, archery…
Now you can't even make a fucking water balloon? What the fuck else is even going on?
Used to be a time, I looked forward to having a son to teach him that kind of shit and putting him in the scouts. Stories like this just make me disgusted. Good thing I still got the handbook, I'll teach my kid the ropes myself.
For fucks sake this is unbelievable this sounds like an Onion article not one from The Federalist.

Warning: Unavoidable spoilers to those who have yet to read the first book, Delirium.
I absolutely loved Delirium (read review here), so when I read other reviews for Pandemonium (Oh, how I envy those lucky people who get advanced copies!), I was slightly disappointed when I heard how she's now alone in the wilds. My first thought was, is this going to be like New Moon by Stephanie Meyer? When Edward Cullen disappears after the first chapter and I found myself frantically flipping through the book trying to find a mention of his name, thinking when is Edward coming back?!? I had that same sense of panic with Pandemonium. Alex can't be gone. He can't be dead! From the very beginning I held onto the hope that Alex HAD to come back, no matter what Lauren Oliver had to pull out of her hat. I don't care if he comes back as a zombie. I need Alex to come back, for Lena's sake.
Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver is an amazing sequel. It will suck you in. It will take your breath away, and not give it back. It will consume you; every thought, feeling, and emotion Lena feels, you will feel just as deep. It will become real to you. It will hurt a little, okay maybe a lot, but that's what makes this novel so good. Oliver reaches into the very heart of her readers and squeezes, draining the heart dry, only to fill it back up again.
I'm pushing aside the memory of my nightmare,
pushing aside thoughts of Alex,
pushing aside thoughts of Hana and my old school,
like Raven taught me to do.
The old life is dead.
But the old Lena is dead too.
I buried her.
I left her beyond a fence,
behind a wall of smoke and flame.
I feel as if I've been through an emotional reawakening. Oliver's writing is so beautiful. It paints beautiful and tragic pictures. I loved the depth of Lena as a character. The emotions were so real and so raw. I am right. there. with. her. With the help of Oliver's hand, I felt every emotion at my very core. Oliver captivates the reader with her beautiful prose, where emotions become tangible objects. Here's an example: "Hatred is a high tower. In the Wilds, I start to build, and to climb." As I read those words, I felt my own hatred build — for what I'm not sure — and I started to climb. For a sentence to have that kind of effect, it just blew me away.
Oliver is amazing because she never loses her reader. I started reading with a defensive mindset; I didn't want her to leave Lena all alone, yet Oliver drew me in with the very first page. I will never doubt her again.
I'm convinced Oliver is a literary goddess. She created an amazingly crafted story and I loved the back and forth sequence between Now and Then in the chapters. Each emotion or stream of thought flowed seamlessly between the different moments in time. I'm in awe of this genius. I can see that this took a lot of work to put together so effortlessly.
Lena is such a real person to me. I can relate to her love of running, to where running becomes therapeutic to push through the pain both physical and mental, and use the fact that after the run you are not dead, and therefore, if the physical pain from the run won't kill you then maybe you can hold on to the belief that the emotional pain won't kill you either. It was a very impactful tie between physical and mental, reader and character.
I absolutely love Lauren Oliver. There is something about her writing that touches me. It creates that feeling that feeds my love of reading. She stirs emotions and creates excitement. I literally thought I was going to have a heart attack when I finished this book. There is a twist at the end that surpasses all twists. I was hanging on Oliver's every word, eating out of her hand when BAM!, punch to the gut. She leaves the reader with the most tragic dilemma. What in the world is Lena gonna do!?! What am I gonna do?; I have to wait until February 2013 for the third and final book, Requiem!
I do not just highly recommend this book. I COMMAND everyone to read this series!

Smoked Ribs with Sweet Carolina BBQ Sauce
Just go ahead and get an extra package of napkins because you are going to need them. There is no lady-like, polite way to eat ribs. If you try you're going to just end up with a rib in your lap and a nice big stain on your pants. And napkins are way cheaper than a new pair of pants. Truth. I love ribs. Ribs are serious business here in the South. Once you've decided on the actual rib itself (pork please) there's the choice of whether you rub them down, get saucy or both. The sauce is in another category all to itself. There is tomato based, mustard based and vinegar based – which much to my North Carolinian friends dismay I strongly dislike as in I'll take a pass dislike. What can I say I am a mustard based girl.
When Musselman's asked me to create a recipe using their apple butter, pork popped into my mind. Then ribs. You see where this is going right? Sweet mustard Carolina BBQ sauce slathered stick to your ribs good ribs. We started out with a rack of pork ribs that we smoked low and slow so you get that falling off the bone tender and delicious meat. Then we slathered it with our sauce. You might lick your fingers. It's okay if you do.
Because you can never have too many delicious recipes for grilling and picnic season pop over to visit my friend's blogs for more Apple Butter Bliss:

Angie's – Apple Butter Bread Pudding
Brandi's – Apple Butter BBQ Sauce Smothered Grilled Chicken

These ribs are just to die for! Save me a few!!!2
I'm going to need a bajillion napkins for this — half for the ribs and half for all the drool from just looking at them. SO YUM.3
Would love this for dinner tonight. These ribs look amazing Paula!4
WOO HOO, PAULA! From your bloggin' friend down here in South Carolina, the origin and home of mustard-based BBQ sauce, I have to say that hands-down this is one awesome recipe that you've shared. Our family (transplants from the Midwest) had never tasted mustard Q sauce until moving here 17 years ago. So beloved is this sauce that our daughter served mustard based BBQ at her wedding reception and everyone who tasted it for the first time were hooked at first bite!
Roz | La Bella Vita Cucina5
My mouth filled up… tmi? Oh well! It did! These ribs are freakin' beautiful! That sauce is speakin' to me!! 🙂6
Ribs disappear so fast around my boys and I know they would devour these in seconds.7
Smoked pork ribs. A sweet tangy sauce. You've done the South proud, Paula!8
This is hands down the best BBQ sauce I've ever made and tasted… It's sweet and thick. Pretty much goes well with any meats.9
Looks amazing (seriously, your photographer is killing me with sweet ribby amazingness). Question, you say 'pork please' when talking about rib type, is this just a personal preference, or does pork specifically work better for some reason or another? Thanks!10
Your photos are amazing! Making me hungry again. I could eat ribs all day long.11
Perfect sauce will make the ribs more yummy! I have never tried sweet carolina bbq sauce. It will be my another option for smoked ribs sauce. Thanks for sharing.12
I really like the name of your recipe i hope it will be sweet as like its name. I must give it a try some other day.

The huge superstorm Sandy has left a path of destruction across the Eastern seaboard and everyone's wondering — was this insanely intense storm that some are calling a once a century event related to climate change?Some researchers will say yes, it's likely that the two are related. Their theory goes that warmer waters inject more energy into tropical storms — so climate change could very well be to blame for the increasing incidence of large and dangerous storms. These warmer waters could also be making the hurricanes form faster, recent studies have suggested.
The evidence that this link is real is mounting. A study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on Oct 15 used tide records dating back to 1923 to show that the severity of hurricanes is increasing. Specifically warmer years are associated with greater numbers of storms and stronger storms. They are also associated with bigger storm surges, one of the biggest issues that brought New York City and New Jersey down. Sandy's storm surge in lower Manhattan reached almost 14 feet, the largest ever recorded in the area.
An earlier study, published in Geophysical Research Letters in May, also suggested the rising ocean temperatures are increasing the intensity of storms. The researchers, led by Dev Niyogi of Purdue University, used satellite data from the last 25 years to see if these tropical cyclones are changing over time. They found that the storms are tending to intensify quicker, and they end up being higher category storms.
Photo: Wikipedia
A third study, led by James Elsner, of Florida State University, looked at hurricane data from across the world between 1981 and 2006. They published their data in the journal Nature in 2008. They found a 31 per cent increase in strong storms (those in the top fifth in a ranking of storms by their intensities), from 13 to 17 strong cyclones for a 1.8º F rise in ocean temperature.This could be one reason why this year's hurricane season has been so bad — with 19 named storms. We are even running out of names and still have a whole month left in which more storms can form. This year we've also set thousands of high temperature records, and it has been named "the hottest year on record" in the United States.
This doesn't mean that warm water is the only thing that makes hurricanes strong, but it's one factor that may be influencing the trend toward stronger and larger storms. Sandy, for instance, was also impacted by the full moon, which increased high tides — though there's no doubt this was an incredibly large, dangerous storm even without the moon.
This was partially because of the presence of a snow storm coming from the West that has had a big effect on how the storm progresses. It's currently parked on the East coast, sending feet of snow down in Western Virginia. Hopefully the storm will head North soon.
As we predicted when Hurricane Issac made landfall earlier this year, these extreme weather events will continue getting stronger and more severe.
As I wrote in August: "If hurricanes get bigger, stronger and more frequent, one nightmare scenario may just become a reality: Thousands of lives could be lost and billions of dollars of damage done if a large, strong hurricane made landfall in New York City, the way Hurricane Irene did in 2011."
Photo: National Snow and Ice Data centre
Those words seem sadly prophetic, now that that's what Sandy has become. Let's hope these monster East coast storms don't become a frequent event, though the melting Arctic sea ice could increase sea temperatures even higher, influencing our weather here.This year, the Arctic sea ice reached its lowest levels on record. This melt is just going to get worse, researchers predict.
If we end up having a summer in which all the sea ice in the Arctic melts, it could have a major impact on storms and the strength of our winters. Some researchers have suggested that this could even happen within the next decade. The sea ice, when it's there, cools down the waters because it reflects sunlight away from the oceans. If the ice is gone, the dark waters will absorb more sunlight, and the ocean will get even warmer.
This spiral of warming could mean more spiraling tropical cyclones in the future.

Mike McCoy, one of the two Bandito Brothers, is in talks to direct the action thriller "Line of Sight" says Heat Vision.
The story follows an elite commando squad transporting cargo while dealing with a global threat. The film will be shot almost entirely in the first person, giving the viewer a point of view akin to the many FPS games on various consoles like the PS3 and the Xbox 360.
F. Scott Frazier wrote the initial spec script which then was polished by "Halo: Reach" writer Peter O'Brien. Ben Affleck was at one point attached to direct.
McCoy and his partner Scott Waugh helmed the real SEAL-team thriller "Act of Valor", one of the big reasons they were hired as they could deliver both polish and realism on a modest budget. Joel Silver and Andrew Rona will produce.

Skyler isn't the smartest person in the world. She doesn't catch on very fast and gets confused easily. But she can be very sweet and kind. Just like PJ, she is also childish. As shown in their relationship.
Personal life
Skyler was introduced in "Girl Bites Dog" as the girl Spencer was cheating on Teddy with. Skyler later became friends with Teddy in "Teddy's Broken Heart Club Band". Skyler starts dating PJ in the episode "Battle of the Bands" and continue dating till she moves away in "PJ in the City". Skyler returns in the Season 4 episode "Good Luck Jessie: NYC Christmas" where she and PJ admit they are still crazy about each other and get back together. She is graduating high school and going to Denver University.
PJ Duncan

Spencer Walsh
Skyler dated Spencer for an unknown amount of time. They broke up after Skyler found out he was cheating on her with Teddy Duncan.
- "It must be nice for your girlfriend to have a boyfriend with such great hair."
- "Oh, no problem. PJ has been keeping me company."
- "That's right. PJ's my dude."
- "Wow, it's so fun going out with a smart guy."
- "The hard part was getting it to rhyme, so I didn't."
- "Aww, that makes me so happy."
- "It's just that we've been seeing each other for three weeks and we haven't even gone out on our first date yet."
- "Like sometimes their name. Or if the relationship is meant to be."
- "Yeah, an awesome first date sets the tone for the entire relationship. I saw it on a cover of a magazine."
- "No, I'm not a big reader."
- "What first date? No one's asked me out yet. Hint, Hint."
- "Puked in the picnic basket is an expression? I don't think that's going to catch on."
- "Yeah, that would have been awful. Talk about puke in the picnic basket."
- "I tried it once with a pineapple. Not as fun."
- "I love learning new things about you."
- "Oh, um, I better go. But first I want a picture of you and me."
- "Well, I better go....Goodbye PJ."
- "Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that..I'm fine."
- "Dear PJ, I have something to tell you so I'm writing this note. But since your not a big reader. I taped it for you instead. There's a boombox on the bench. Hit play. So this is kind of hard. I have to tell you that.. I'm sorry. I can't go on. Just go back to the note. I've got some really bad news. My dad has been transferred to New York City which means I'm moving there. I wanted to tell you but it made me so sad to say goodbye I just couldn't. I'll miss you forever. Oh, by the way. This is Skyler. Now press play again."
- "Aw, PJ. Can you believe he came all this way for me? It's so romantic."
- "Yeah, he wants to make money to get his own apartment. He's working on Wall Street."
- "Well, Under Wall Street."
- "So, even though you won't find another guy who's as crazy about you as I am. I set you free." Skyler tells PJ "And even though you'll never find a girl who's crazier than I am. About you. Your free too."
- "See, this is exactly why I didn't want to say goodbye to you."
- "Well, It was good seeing you."
- "He helped me realize that I'm still crazy about you to."
- "I mean you'll be in Denver and I'll be off to college."
- "Denver University."
The image gallery for Skyler.
- Although Skyler isn't really smart, she seems to be able to play instruments like the piano, guitar, and vocal exercises.
- In "Teddy's Broken Heart Club Band", when Ivy and Teddy find out she isn't really smart, they both say, "It's a good thing you're pretty" and Teddy also asks if Charlie thought she was pretty too in her video diary.
- She and her new boyfriend PJ claim that they never get the look Teddy gets when she has an idea.
- She likes the Gurgles, just like PJ when he introduced it to her.
- She leaves the show in season 2, likely because her portrayer, Samantha Boscarino, was a main cast member on Nickelodeon's new show, How to Rock.
- Due to How to Rock's cancellation, she returns in "Good Luck Jessie NYC Christmas" and get's back together with PJ.

If a company has a lot of reviews and a higher average reviews score, but is below another company in the list, it is because most of their reviews are old and the company above them has more reviews at a better average reviews score in the last two years (even if overall they have fewer reviews or a lower all time average reviews score).
We show all solar energy contractors that have received reviews of solar panel installation work they have done in Teeds Grove even if they don't have an office in Teeds Grove. There are a lot of renewable energy companies in the solar industry in the United States that service areas in which they don't have offices via contract installation teams. Some of these companies receive a lot of complaints (see the big national installers reviews like Vivint Solar, Sunrun and Solar City), but others have really good reviews and so we don't exclude them from our top solar companies lists. They often bring price competition to smaller cities where the local solar companies are so busy they need to put their prices up. It is up to you how much weight you put on a local office when choosing between solar companies.

The ECG crew was professional, quick to respond to my questions, and able to work through the bumps that can arise when installing a PV system. In the end everything was as described and I will be recommending ECG to those who ask about my PV system.

An upstanding company that stands by its products

I investigated multiple companies for my Solar installation and was most impressed with the pre-sales experience with Moxie Solar. Rich Tilden, my account representative, was very knowledgeable and very open and honest about everything involved in the project. He wasn't pushy at all and even recommended I investigate other companies. I could not be more pleased with the whole project and the results. Rich managed the entire project end to end and was very helpful in outlining all of the steps I needed to go through (and they are many). The installation was done in two days with very little disruption to our household. I'm now the proud owner of an 11.2Kwh system and couldn't be more pleased with the end result. If you are looking to go solar, I would highly recommend Moxie Solar and ask for Rich Tilden if you live in the Austin area.I need to add an addendum to this review. It turns out Oncor was messing up my solar system by pushing through voltage that was above the norm which caused the inverter to shut down throughout the day. It really messed up the production. Rich not only took it upon himself to reach out to Oncor and work on resolving the issue which took over a month and a half due to their lack of cooperation, but Moxie Solar went ahead and paid my electricity bills for the entire duration of the incident. So not only do they stand by their product, but they also honor their commitment to resolve any issue within 72 hours or they make it right. Well they sure did make it right and I couldn't be more pleased with their customer service. Everything is back to normal now and my solar system is plugging away at maximum efficiency. If you ever need solar panels installed by a company that stands by their product, this is the one to use.... read more

To much to post. I wish I went elsewhere. I will just say before you sign a deal with them please set up a meeting with your utility company and solar company and a electrician so everyone is on the same page and there will not be any hidden cost or any delay. Stand tough with them cause communication is not a strong point with them. Please shop around first. There is a lot of solar companies out there. I found one that is glad to come and make sure I am up and running soon. And I never purchased from the other company but there customer services skills are above and beyond what I expected.... read more

Tim Mueller screwed me out of a lot of money. He didn't pay the electrician. They didn't install the solar right and I had to hire a different solar company to come in and redo everything to get it up and running right. This man closed the doors to this business and opened up another solar company under the name of Solar Planet Group and then under LTD Solar. I understand that he is now operating under the name Solar Advisers.... read more

I really liked the game engine. Light, fast, runs smoothly, and pretty enough. I really wish this game prosper, specially on Linux...
There are many reasons why someone play one game once. Twice is to improve and enjoy.
But for many many times, diversity is key. Different options of chassis, engines, armour, weapons, etc, which can be combined. Each has strenghts and limitations. Every player can create his vehicle freely, given a combination of "points", just like a RPG.
-Get me a light chassis, medium/fast engine, active armour and a light gun/long range and you have a great scout. Fast, kill from far, but weak. Keep moving
-Heavy chassis, engine and armour leaves room for only small weapon. Flamethrowers and MGs. Good defender, but manouvres slowly
---> so on, on HUGE number of combinations. For each mission / enemy, a new vehicle.
So, to add more spice, a few more ideas:
-Everything has weight.
-Chassis: light gives little room for gear, but speed/manouver is great. As grows, increases cargo capacity but decrease speed/manouver.
-Chassis must have different configurations, alternating mobility, weapon turn, and armour holder.
---Chassis are limited models (ex.: 9). Weight capacity is limited by chassis.
---Most have turrets, some wont but holds 2 heavy ones and a light. Compensate small angle turning chassis, but twice fire rate.
---amount of (armour // engine // weapon) defines the speed and turn speed.
-Engines vary on weight/power/speed. And noise and smoke/heat signature
-Armour varies on amount (weight) and type. Active ones holds armour piercing, but is weaker to heavy impact. Conventional holds impact but is easy penetrated. Extra plates adds weight but defends better. Choose one of 3.
-> There MUST be an OPTION for limited ammo. When used, some spots provides reloading. Amount of ammo shall be changed, extra ammo uses weight limit. Unlimited mode kept.
--More variety. From 20mm fastest rate armour-piercing to 200mm slowest heavy impact, with at least 6 options for heavy gun.
-> Missiles: long range must be fired stopped and locked. Medium range locks if stopped but fires unlocked. Short range have no locking.
--Lasers generate heat. And drains ENGINE power - HP->electricity
--Target computer: shows a dot compensating movement.
Game Modes:
-TWO meta-gamemodes: battle or mission
--Battle is usuall online play. All beta modes, as DM, team DM, Last Man Standing, etc.
--Mission is for fewer people: Ppls must cooperate on objective against server's bots. Auto-adjusting from 1 to 5 ppls.
For a 1st idea, that's my contribution.

It's time to admit it. We all idolize something, but it's not always such a great idea. Let me rephrase that.. 99% of the time, it's a pretty darn terrible idea.
Sure, idolization is great in one way, because it can be a driving force that enables you to improve. But the fact is that you rarely get to see the whole picture. And what you end up following, is a projected version of the idol, a version that you created in your own mind.
It Can Lead You Astray
While there are a variety of people that inspire me to be better, I find it more beneficial to keep it as such, a variety. Never singling out anyone that I particularly aspire to be like. When you try to force yourself to fit within the confines of the character of your interpretation of your idol, weird things can happen. You can end up forcing yourself down a path you have no real interest in, blinded by the life that you think your idol leads.
It doesn't really have to be a particular person either. You can idolize a concept, or a lifestyle. A few years back, I had gotten tired of my awkward, over-analyzing ways and decided to make myself into a stereotypical douchebag. I started working out, getting drunk several times a week, but it never clicked. I never managed to be as carefree as I had imagined them to be. Then, to my surprise, some of the douchier friends I made during the process, seemed to actually share some of the concerns and troubles I had had all along. Leaving me to wonder whether there really was such a thing as a carefree douchebag, short of a complete egomaniac, and so I moved on.
While not exactly the story of following a great idol, it's an example of how it can be hard to predict whether or not the lifestyle you idolize is actually something you would enjoy. Some successful actors and musicians have been known to express their distaste for many aspects of their life of fame.. and many a newlywed is surprised at what their lives actually entail as time goes on.
It Can Make You Overlook What You're Doing Right
Idolization can not only lead you astray, and have you doing the wrong things for the wrong reasons, you can end up missing the things that you're actually doing right.
It's easy to get so hung up on the idea of how you think things should be, that you ignore the things that are actually working great for you. A great example of this is people that are living far beyond their means, because they've idolized that lifestyle, and think that it's their only way to happiness.. when in fact, keeping their expenses low and living in the smaller apartment, was actually what could have helped lead to a better life down the road.
My idolization of the "making money online" lifestyle, was a large reason for why I quit my first job, although in fact it probably put me further off achieving my main goal, which was traveling the world next year.
It Can Keep You From Learning
Perhaps the worst side-effect, is that it makes it hard to keep an open mind. When people speak out against what you idolize, it is incredibly easy to just brush aside as "hate", and just keep on going. And while sometimes, people will offer criticism for no particular reason, and definitely not with your best interests in mind, sometimes that's not the case. Depending on how far you're along in your journey, separating helpful criticism from bullshit is an important skill to have, because it can change your perspective in a way that allows you to get to where you want to be faster.
What To Do Instead:
Now that you've managed to let go of your idolizing ways, you're more than halfway there. But that doesn't mean you should let your guard down just yet.
Follow Your Goals, But Keep An Open Mind
Don't be afraid to make changes to your approach when you face concerns about what you are currently doing. Of course the worst thing to do, is never really focusing, always jumping from one idea to the other, but the second worst is blindly following a path into oblivion.
Forget Idols, Get Mentors
And I don't mean someone you don't really know or care about that you pay to tell you what to do. I mean someone you know and admire, someone who obviously knows more about what you want to achieve than you do, and can offer not only insight but hands-on guidance when you most need it.
If you're not quite sure what you want to pursue yet, don't worry. You don't have to choose a mentor in a specific field, sometimes the most interesting and invaluable information a mentor can give you, is about the approach, processes and the mindset.. not the subject at hand.
Find Like-Minded Peers
While the drive idolization can give you is good, it's nowhere near a substitute for the support of like-minded friends. Times where an idol would have led you down to a dead-end with no way out, such friends can provide you with the support you need to claw your way out of difficult situations, and even avoid them.
One thing to keep in mind though, is that while the support can keep you going when things get tough.. it is important to know when things are going nowhere. Depending on your friends, they might tell you of their own volition, or you might have to ask for their honest opinion. Although major decisions might be better to confer with your mentor about.
Trust Your Gut
Sometimes, when all else fails, your gut saves the day. It's not easy to understand, or explain, but the important thing here is to not confuse rationalization with an actual gut feeling. When you're getting tired, and you just want to quit, it's easy to think it's a gut feeling and just give in. I've made that mistake several times, and it's not always easy to spot, but it gets easier with time.
Trusting yourself and trusting others doesn't have to be mutually exclusive, just make sure you surround yourself with the right people.
If you have something on your mind, share it in a comment, and if you enjoyed the post/found it useful feel free to share.
The picture is of Kinkaku-ji in Kyoto. I ended up visiting the temple 3 times, once when I first came to Kyoto, which is when I took this particular picture. Once with a few friends on a sightseeing spree, and the last time when my family came to visit.

Have you ever had an issue where MSCOMCTL.OCX errors? Well I had this issue occurred with a program called FoxFire! A few days ago we performed windows updates and then today the application stopped working with the Component MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered error. So after some research I found that the file was removed, presumably because of the update. Go to the following link to learn how to fix the problem: http://www.lancelhoff.com/component-mscomctlocx-or-one-of-its-dependencies-not-correctly-registered/ (This brings you to another website.)

They are competitors in many aspects with different operational techniques. Easyjet is Europe's leading low-cost airline, which targets at both leisure and business markets on a range of European routes. It is one of Europe's largest Internet retailers with ticketless travel service. In addition, it offers a simple, 'no frills' service. On the other hand, British Airways is the world's biggest international airline whose worldwide route network covers 150 countries. Its customers can get the world's best personalized service. The purpose of this report is to compare and contract the financial performance by analyzing ratios. * 2.0 Findings ? 2.1 Profitability Ratios Return on capital employed (ROCE), gross profit margin and net profit margin ratios are used to tell owners, managers, employees and potential investors the profitability of the two companies. ...read more.
They would be better to shorten the time within 30 days. ? 2.3 Liquidity Ratios Liquidity is a very important ratio for money lenders, suppliers and potential investors to access. It is defined as business has enough liquidity to pay any immediate bills that arise (Business Studies, 2004). It can be analyzed by looking at the current ratio and the acid test ratio. The current ratio for BA and Easyjet is 0.77 and 2.57.The ratio for Easyjet is a higher, which means that too much money is tied up inefficiently, while that of BA is not healthy, which are much below the generally safe level that is between 1.5 and 2. This suggests that it does not have enough working capital. The acid test ratio for BA is 0.72, which could indicate a potential problem that its current assets less stocks do not cover its current liability. However, BA is a service-base airline business, whose stocks are aerial consumption parts, expendable supplies, supplies on board, etc. The stock is likely to be sold quickly. So the lower acid test ratio is acceptable ( (current Assets - stocks)/current liabilities). ? 2.4 Gearing Ratios BA and Easyjet are quite different from each other at gearing ratio. The former is at 81.38% and the latter is at 42.62%. It shows that BA is high geared, which is more than 50%. ...read more.
* 3.0 Conclusion As a whole, Easyjet is a preferable financial performer than British Airways, while the latter may have some potential financial problems. Analyzing the profitability, Easyjet has a better performance. It focuses on the low price tickets in the European routes. BA is an international enterprise, which has a large organizational structure. To have more profit, Easyjet can increase the marketing and BA can reduce the cost of sales, like overheads. Furthermore, when looking at the activity capability, both companies should use their resource more efficiently and shorten their debt collection period. Additionally, as for the liquidity capability, BA is lack of working capital and may meet debt problems in the short run, while Easyjet is in a good operating condition, whose liquid assets can be quickly switched into cash. Moreover, with regard to the gearing, Easyjet has a safer capital structure than BA. To both creditor and shareholders, it has a strong debt paying ability and low debt risk in the long run. BA can improve its ratio by reducing its long term borrowing relatively to its capital. According to the shareholder ratios, it is hard to compare and contract because of lack of some data from Easyjet. However, we should also be aware of the limitations of the ratio, such as price changing, Window dressing, lack of qualitative information, etc. and make adjustments as necessary. ...read more.

Motorola Gives a Glimpse of Android 3.0 Honeycomb Tablet
Motorola has released a brief video on YouTube teasing the introduction, at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, of a tablet computer based on Google's Android Honeycomb operating system.
The clip, titled "Tablet Evolution" and set in a museum, is a 1:36-minute history lesson of actual stone tablets, beginning with an Egyptian hieroglyphic tablet dated 3,200 B.C. and moving on to the Ten Commandments and Rosetta Stone.
When the teaser gets to the real message, it does so with competitive sniping at de facto standard tablet makers Apple and Samsung.
Motorola calls Apple's iPad a "giant iPhone" (iOS powers both devices) and notes that Samsung's Galaxy Tab is Android OS "for a phone."
The Tab is based on Android 2.2, which Google executives have acknowledged is not optimized for tablets. Even so, the Tab has sold more than 1 million units this year.
For more, read the eWeek article: Motorola Teases Android 3.0 Honeycomb Tablet for CES.

Blue Poles Margaret River Teroldego 2009
Once in a while you get a wine that raises eye brows. It could be because it's biodynamic, or because it's a blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris or because the winemaker is blind – true story; Mountford in Canterbury NZ. However, this eye brow raise is because when I mentioned this grape to a few wine industry professional, the common response was, 'Terol-what'.
That's right, Teroldego. Native to Alto-Adige in Trentino NE Italy, Teroldego has a little over 4 acres –just under 2 hectares – under vine in Australia. Three of these acres are planted in Osmington, Margaret River in the Blue Poles vineyard. So here it is, the Blue Poles Margaret River Teroldego 2009.
Where to start. Because of its eye brow raising attributes, I will let Nicholas Belfage introduce the variety:
"Teroldego is called the "prince" of Trentino red wines, prized for its elegance, complexity and harmony. Overcropped, as it often is, it can be very ordinary, at best a pleasant wine for drinking early. But in the hands of a quality producer it can reach impressive heights of breeding and concentration.... These days the undisputed top producer of Teroldego is Elisabetta Foradori of Mezzolombardo."
The last sentence is where the Australian connection starts. It is from Elisabetta Foradori where the cuttings came from to propagate the Margaret River Teroldego plantings; pretty good lineage if you ask me. But we are here for the wine right?
One of the deepest 'red' colours in a glass of wine I have ever seen, sort of like 'blood in the moonlight' in colour; yeah, I know that's the funky shit. The nose is a real head turner with obvious characteristics of Nebbiolo and Sangiovese – ripe plum, mulberry, dust, leather, tobacco, violets and tar just to name a few. Tight and fine grippy tannins greet the palate with some tart raspberry thrown in. The longer in the glass the tart raspberry fades in to a sweet mulberry feel with the acid and tannins still pulling all of the strings. This is a real special wine.
This is produced in small quantities; tiny really. So if you see it give it a go because it will not sit around on the shelf for too long.
Drink with lamb ragu on wet polenta
Drink till 2020
