There's been a lot of sentiment that's pointing to an upcoming recession. The pundits count the rather sharp down ticks in a number of markets as proof. There's a lot that can be pointed to as the impetus for these movements. China's over-production is one, the under performance of the Chinese market could be another. There's the explosion of oil on the market that's either helping or hurting. There is too much easy credit to be had in the US or too little easy credit available in the US. The Middle East is blowing up and then there's always what whatever is going on (or not going on) in Europe. Playing games of permutations and combinations with these can get you any culprit you'd like.
My thinking is that all of these recession problems are not from whatever sort of immediate geo/financial/political issue we're seeing currently but it's more from simply how one uses the term "…pre-recession levels".
For example, if you use the term as meaning "…pre-2007 levels" your graph of the global price of industrial metals from the St. Louis Fed looks like this:
But if you were concerned instead with not just the last 10 years but the last 20 years, your graph would look like this:
The difference from considering ten years to 20 or more years makes a big difference in how things look, huh?
What's the problem with using this term as meaning from 2005-ish on? The problem is for nearly everyone using it, the graph looks like a typical recession/correction graph and gives perhaps false hope that the bubble of 2003-7 could be attainable again, and quickly at that. If one has a look at many of the easily available indicators including this minerals index, they show a similar rather swift uptick starting around 2003 to a level that's at least twice the amount of the last ten years. I'm no economist, but I'm thinking the speed at which that jump took place and the distance it covered would indicate that the period between 2005 and 2007 – and by extension, the first part of 2015 – would be an unsustainable high, but certainly not a new normal.
If this is true (and only time will tell) then what we're probably going to see is a return to the relative band of production and pricing seen prior to 2003. That would make this drop not a recession, but a correction to the band that things were moving in prior to 2003. We would return to not a 'new normal' but after the excess is driven out of the markets, we would fall back to the old normal that we had been in all the way back to the disco era.
The culprits for this jump section are probably the coming online of China as an industrial power and ridiculous credit availability in the US. One could be argued as a sort of false demand as it was created mostly by the Chinese government synthetically stimulating the market and more importantly, convincing the rest of the world into believing that this focus of stimulation would go on forever (a new normal). China doesn't need to continue building that area of their economy and therefore we have reached the end of "forever".
If things must have to return to pre-2003 levels. The world will have to right-size not just have to wait out a recession.
Why Apple May be in a little bit of trouble
I'm going to start off by saying that below is essentially a theorem – note not 'theory' – meaning it's not proven beyond my own qualitative observations, but I'm thinking that Apple management may be struggling under the new regime. It's also important to note the sort of trouble isn't the sort that shows exponential stock drops any time soon. The aspects I'm thinking of could be seen in the latest new products, especially the ones released after Steve passed on.
Sure, there's seemingly no issues with the march of improvements to the iPad, iPhone and laptops. Afterall, each are in a seemingly mature market, thus incremental improvements are par for the course.. In my mind, the trouble is with the new devices like the Watch and Apple TV. All reports point to the devices being of good quality and adequate performance in the face of their peers. But that's the rub.
Apple products, as we have become accustomed to, are relied upon to somehow be a step above its competitors. Most claim the way the firm achieves this is usually through their 'design'. Being a bit more specific, the difference comes from a more considered understanding of how these products will fit into someone's life where they make experiences better – not by adding complexity but doing the opposite – distilling the functionality to what is only needed. Then Apple hones that experience until there's no glitches or rough edges. For instance, the iPod took out all the complexity of MP3 players and made it gloriously simple to use. Instead of operating something that seemed like a PDA (or Newton) with hoards of setting and menus, it was as simple as using a Walkman again. The phone did the same thing. It took the vast capabilities of a smart phone and distilled it until Apple delivered a package for massive complexity that made it as easy as a swipe to operate.
Looking at the Watch or the new TV, this considered simplification doesn't seem to be present. True, they have exterior styling that makes them attractive, but what of the utility? And it's certain they'll both sell extraordinarily well. The real question is will these products somehow transform each market they are in? Probably not, no.
Unlike the iPhone that had an experience that was head and shoulders above the competition, these items struggle to find any sort of function or feature that's truly places them at the head of the pack. Apple doesn't seem to be helping, either. Where with the iPod and iPhone, Apple saw the paradigm shift and built features around that. The company seems to be heaping on functionality (eerily like Samsung) on these items in hopes someone will see into them the paradigm shift the company can't seem to find..
Framed positively or negatively, we can all agree that Steve was an idealistic and stubborn force to be reckoned with . Nobody (either from the inside or the outside) was going to pressure him to do anything. He could stand up to the demands and the shouting for new products and take whatever time was necessary to make sure they got it right. Even more so, a government-grade shroud of stealth cloaked products until they are perfectly ready.
The amazing lack of this perfection-seeking can be easily seen by comparing the launch of the Watch versus the iPad. With the Apple tablet, there were no advanced prototypes to be ogled and there wasn't any official specifications released beforehand, either. Instead, it was just rumored to be and after Steve went on stage, it was essentially available to the public. Conversely, there were press conferences, sneak peaks, hints and and partial launches of the Watch where viewers were held to a safe distance. There was talk of 'finalizing' and eventually 6 months or so after the 'launch' you could finally start reading actual performance reviews and maybe get one of the few trickled into stores. Within about a year of the Watch being out, it's still somehow news when Best Buy finally started carrying them.
How could this happen? My thinking is that both of these new items were brought out not because they were finally ready with a honed, distinct market advantage for each, but management may have finally cracked under the pressure of shareholders and pundits screaming for Apple to match strides with their competition, as if they knew better than Apple to judge what it needed to launch. Or perhaps even more scary is this may be the manifestation of a firm that's now just trying to keep up with the Jones' rather than leading the neighborhood. If either are true then Apple may just have that bit of a problem.
Smart watches are all the rage right now. Every self-respecting consumer electronics company needs to have one. Apple's been feeling that pressure for quite some time, certainly from pundits and fans and probably even from shareholders. The problem is that there hasn't really been a compelling reason for owning one beyond health apps and perhaps just looking cool (if you can look cool with a giant light-square on your wrist). Apple knows this, but they also know that they shouldn't release something without having the killer application that makes a consumer feel as if they can't live without it. Sure, they'd see fanboy buys and some holidays purchases, but there'd be no sustain for it. So, what can Apple do? Release a product without a market or not release a product that makes them look deficient in comparison to rivals? They chose the latter.
One could infer from the sorts of hiring done by Apple recently that perhaps they don't have a clear direction at Cupertino for this product. This also dovetails with the lack of intellectual property filed on its behalf. I would think the game plan was to wait it out until the watch's true necessity presented itself and rally the troops then, much like they did with the mp3 player, tablet and mobile phones. Unfortunately, other firms haven't been waiting, they're launching and hoping the platform will summon the devices' utility.
When pebble came out, they knew there's a diaspora of possibilities for such a device and elected to launch with a simple, open device. Samsung is known for throwing everything at the market and then iterating on the ones that get a little traction. Asus may have actually made a smart phone stylish. Strangely enough, in perhaps Google's only hardware win, their watch shows a sort of approachable genius that comes from attentive human-centered design. Into this market, Apple drops off their watch.
Apple's products have always been about giving a refined solution, so the idea of belching out technology and hoping a random coder will find the device's purpose goes against the fabric of the company. Apple is supposed to have the answers, and polished ones, at that. They don't have to fumble about the market for help. Maybe that was because Steve had the answers – but more probably, he knew to take the heat until the time and the device was ready.
Steve is gone now and Apple launches a watch. It has iOS on it and one of the big sell points is health tracking. It has a skeuomorphic dial on the side and vaguely looks like every other smart watch on the market from about a year ago. I'm sure there'll be a robust spec sheet and easy compatibility with an iPhone and the applications on it, but it just feels… pushed.
Lately, there's been a few articles suggesting shoppers wait for the next iteration of the Apple Watch. Some cite the inevitable issues with launching a new product, like software bugs. The question that needs to be asked is are these legitimate thoughts about the growing pains of a first manufacturing run, or a polite way of saying the Apple Watch (and to be fair smart watches in general) just hasn't created a compelling product vision that makes having one indispensable as other Apple products?
The Future of Modern
What is Modern Design? How do you recognize it? Most people would say it's a style that's clean of detail and somehow functionally formed. Maybe some would say expensive, or cold.
It wasn't designed to be that way. The simplified, pure shapes must have looked like aliens had left them behind when they came out, and the left-field material selections and manufacturing processes didn't help either. At the time, most people were deciding to buy either that 'new' Stickley stuff or go William Morris Bungalow. Comparatively, items by LeCorbusier and Gropious were outrageously Metropolis-futuristic.
Curiously, modern furniture wasn't designed to elicit this response – its core principles were much more Utopian. If designers could somehow harness this mass-production phenomenon, perhaps they could elevate the underprivileged so as to live a life just as others do. If they could only reduce costs, the designers felt they could make these conveniences and necessities that much more approachable for everyone. Of course, this vision would come at a cost. They'd have to peel out a lot of the extra details, as those processes added cost. They'd also have to source newer, cheaper materials. Perhaps modern companies like these who pump out thousands of bicycles could also pump out furniture just as fast if it were made with the same tube? Prices would then surely be approachable.
Flashing forward through the ages, the concept of Modern, and its aim of elevating the masses was usurped by the fact that only the rich, it seemed, adopted the new looks. They wanted to be 'modern' and were the only ones willing to pay for it. Besides, the more cost-effective designs just didn't resonate with the populace. Modern was re-labeled as the style of the rich. Sadly, only after IKEA made it big did Modern fulfill its pledged goal.
The aftermath is the current definition of Modern. Products with hefty, nearly unapproachable price tags peddled by the designer elite essentially for the elite style connoisseur. It means 'clean', 'detail free', form-following-function and more pointedly, a wealth of good taste. But just as technology paved the way for this thinking, technology once again is changing our perceptions.
The last decade has ushered in the direct connection between machines that make things and the drafting/modeling programs that design them. No more are we handcuffed by a human element in one aspect or another. Things can be designed and handed right off to the machines that make them – no human hands involved.
Suddenly, the very ornamentation that we loved and that we had to give up with Modernism is far more easy and cost effective to have than it ever was. It's also more customizable than we could possibly imagine. The end effect is that designers and artisans no longer have to hone economy of line and shape. In fact, the programs and machines can make anything of nearly any possible detail.
As humans, we've essentially solved what's the perfect dimensions for a chair. We've solved the structural requirements for a bookshelf and now we can ask a computer to solve both for us. The even more amazing thing is that whatever we draw, we can have made, and quickly. A talented and skilled craftsman does not have to be found. In fact, we don't even have to actually draw things, we can have a computer do that for us, as well.
All this will come together to once again recast the definition of Modern. The modern that the next several decades will know is one that means extreme ornamentation. It will mean extreme complexity, mass personalization. It will also mean that if one has simple, form following function items, they must certainly not be well-off.
One of the hardest parts about bringing interactivity to the television is not so much getting it on the internet. It's getting an idea on what exactly TV apps should do.
The graveyard for 'interactive' television devices is a very large place, and there's new residents happening every day. It's not just third party, flash-in-the-pan manufacturers, either. Some of the tombstones have some pretty big names on them. Why the ongoing tragedy?
The sorrow of it all stems from the fact that the way people interact with a television is so much different than how they interact with mobile devices. Slapping an Android computer on a TV with a revved up tablet UI is not going to work well, no matter what shape you make the box. The problem is that the TV is a fundamentally different product and experience. It's a social event device.
What do I mean by that? In today's world, the television is used to share experiences with more than one person. If just one person were going to consume media that would normally be on a television, they would likely do it with another device like a tablet, laptop or phone. We invite friends to watch media on TV together.
This is the big sticking point. The current batch of applications on mobile operating systems are fundamentally designed for interaction with only one person per device. Angry birds? Single user. Hootsuite? Single user. Foursquare? Single user. Their social aspect is derived through the sharing of information across networks to someone else's device. They are not designed for sharing with others on the same device. The social aspects of sharing a television event on Facebook with the same people who are in the same room as you, seems somehow redundant. Perhaps sharing with others who aren't in attendance would make this seem useful but that's just a feint, isn't it?
The awkwardness of the 'social' app issue could easily be distilled down to when there are many sharing one device experience, it's no longer an 'I' event, it's a 'We' event. For whatever the app is doing, everyone is essentially doing it and if something changes, everyone has some sort of hand in the operation (assuming you have courteous friends). Thus, either there are an army of personal accounts invading the device or there is just one person's account. Redundancy or awkward conformity are in store.
The second aspect that's been overlooked is that whatever account that your mobile devices are run through contains a lot of information about you, and maybe some information that's best left within the safety of password-protection. A quick test of this is taking a stroll through your friend's mobile phone. The experience turns out to be pretty much uncomfortably voyeuristic. The details saved and the personalization of said device is a deep, deep window into the inner workings of a device's owner. It'll become uncomfortable to share a lot of these profile details with others. Even relatively benign shopping lists could cause some to blush if shared with the wrong people.
We have different personas – or 'accounts', if you will – a public one and a private one. Truly social event devices like televisions need to be ready to handle the line we set between them. This asks an interesting question: do we then have to individually go into every aspect and assign what can be shared and what cannot, a la Google Circles or do we have second, sharable proxies that are neutered for public browsing? Will they be connected somehow?
With both of these aspects in mind, the biggest issue is that the standard apps available for tablets and phones just don't work for the social aspects of TV viewing. There will have to be a complete set of brand new apps invented to truly capture the utility and the desire to have this capability on televisions. This is where the excitement should build for what would really turn out to be a completely new market for applications where a sort of real-time social app is born. Instead of being all 'web 2.0' on separate devices, groups could have that same interaction through one large device in one location. Or perhaps something even more out on the horizon.
It's time for manufacturers and programmers to see that this change needs to happen, if they're going to want to keep playing in this space. From user interfaces that are actually designed for the sort of environment TVs are used to the more mundane aspects of creating a sort of sharing profile that has a tuned environment that's safe to use where others can browse.
If there are actually return readers to this blog, they will probably see that a lot of the stuff on here is focused towards technology and where it may be going. Most of it is pretty top-level stuff.
The hard part about all this tech is that they work really well in a vacuum and sometimes they work really well with items from the same maker and the same time, but we all usually don't have the opportunity to buy the whole product line at once. This puts us in a bit of a pickle as it certainly doesn't make it easy to get all the benefit out of everything we buy. Most times, the manufacturers aren't on our sides so there's really not a lot of help out there. Thankfully due to the ingeniousness of the third-party manufacturers and relatively open standards, there are a lot of helper items that go a long way to connect the dots.
In light of that, I've decided to put together another sort of blog that will talk to more of the "dirty hands" portion of the march of technology. Sure, there's a lot of places out there talking about the next new thing in mobile devices, laptops and such. I'm not going to throw out more of the same. Instead, I'm going to focus on looking at all the items and techniques that link together our devices and really enhances our total experience with them.
I think I'm going to focus on the more standardized methods of connection, like USB, HDMI, Bluetooth and Wifi. There seems to be a lot of green shoots in the adapter industry around these methods and there looks to be a lot of trick stuff that promises interesting results. Of course there may be a bit more esoteric posts as well. Perhaps in the future, there may also be some posts about software interactivity, but I'm not sure. To make things easier, I'm also going to post where I got these things from and focus on getting everything from Amazon – as there's nothing worse than reading about something and then not being able to find it.
The new blog is EclecticTechConnector.com and I think the name really goes a long way at describing what it's all about. That focus is on all the little connectors and helper devices that makes it easy for all our toys to work together or just work better. I'm going to sort of document my journey through all these helper devices and share what I've learned along the way. Hopefully, it will help all you out there as well.
Oh, and if you have some ideas on what to try next, go ahead and email me, or leave them in the comments!
Tactility Means Something
In today's world of product design there seems to be a lot of emphasis placed on homogenizing the shapes of things. Obviously this looks rather nice and makes for a pretty good looking 'system' of things that sit on the shelf well. Then along comes a project like this to remind us that we need to consider other aspects besides congruent shapes when thinking of functionality.
I am not sure if this was the main reasoning behind Vanessa's shapes ( yes, I did not really read the article), but my takeaway from the images is that the set of in-congruent shapes would certainly have a benefit for a user in recalling what is on each of the drives.
Today, we have a lot of data. Although the cloud is coming, we still carry and store a lot of it on devices that are physical to us. Many times this data can't be held on just one chunk of media for a variety of reasons. Just like days of old with floppy disks, it becomes hard to recall what exactly is held on each drive. Having a drive with a distinctive shape goes a long way to circumvent the issue.
Designers usually try and attack this sort of thing with a visual design or some sort of handy color-coding. But these devices are usually quite tactile in use and the project here seems to go a long way to treat this aspect. Seeing this implementation makes me think that in this day and age we haven't really utilized the capabilities touch gives us in a conscious way. Being able to quickly reach for a media drive and understand generally what their content is without taking eyes off of other things is really a benefit that makes this project quite strong.
For many reasons (which I am sure I will revisit here) I think that designers get into the bad habit of forcing things into systems even though the functionality is obviously sacrificed for style. It would be nice to see a movement where we look at projects like this to truly address function before shoehorning things awkwardly into shapes that merely look good. Oh, and also to consider more deeply tactility as a legitimate form of communication and utility.

Diabetes and Periodontal Disease
In this article
Are Other Oral Problems Linked to Diabetes? continued...
One of the major causes of dry mouth is medication. More than 400 over-the-counter and prescription drugs, including medicines for colds, high blood pressure or depression, can cause dry mouth. If you are taking medications, tell your doctor or dentist if your mouth feels dry. You may be able to try a different drug or use an "artificial saliva" to keep your mouth moist.
Good blood glucose control can help prevent or relieve dry mouth caused by diabetes.
Keep Your Teeth
Serious periodontal disease not only can cause tooth loss, but can also cause changes in the shape of bone and gum tissue. The gum becomes uneven, and dentures may not fit well. People with diabetes often have sore gums from dentures.
If chewing with dentures is painful, you might choose foods that are easier to chew but not right for your diet. Eating the wrong foods can upset blood sugar control. The best way to avoid these problems is to keep your natural teeth and gums healthy.
How Can You Protect Your Teeth and Gums?
Harmful germs attack the teeth and gums when plaque builds up. You can stop plaque build-up and prevent gum disease by brushing and flossing carefully every day.
- Use a piece of dental floss about 18 inches long.
- Using a sawing motion, gently bring the floss through the tight spaces between the teeth.
- Do not snap the floss against the gums.
- Curve the floss around each tooth and gently scrape from below the gum to the top of the tooth several times.
- Rinse your mouth after flossing.
- Gently brush teeth twice a day with a soft nylon brush with rounded ends on the bristles.
- Avoid hard back-and-forth scrubbing.
- Use small circle motions and short back-and-forth motions.
- Gently brush your tongue, which can trap germs.
- Use a fluoride toothpaste to protect teeth from decay.
Check Your Work. Dental plaque is hard to see unless it is stained. Plaque can be stained by chewing red "disclosing tablets" sold at grocery stores and drug stores or by using a cotton swab to smear green food coloring on the teeth. The color left on the teeth shows where there is still plaque. Extra flossing and brushing will remove this plaque.

9/11 will never be forgotten. May good will and happiness find the families of all those who were lost. Many thanks to all of the people, firemen, police, civilians-all...for all they did and for risking their own lives.
I would also like to say thank you to those who do serve and have risked their own lives for whatever reason they think they are doing it for. You have alot of courage and may health and happiness stay with you.
However, and please, nobody take this personally. It is not meant or aimed at those who do risk their lives or are serving-I know you are good and courageous people. Here is the thing though.....NOT a single f-ing war since 9/11 has been about protecting America. Granted, and thankfully, our servicemen have, and our government were able to stop alot of terrorist plots and more casualties from happening, like 9/11. Though none of this war was actually about protecting America. If it was, they would have taken care of Bin Laden when they knew where he was-and which was the real "war on errorism", I mean "terrorism." Granted, that a-hole Sadaam needed to be ousted, but that is not what monkey man errr....bush gave his high school style pep rally about while alienating every foreigner in our country in the first place. These wars have been senseless and far too many lives lost in the process from all sides. My buddy's brother went to 'fight' overseas about two months ago. A F-ing month in, his truck got hit and he now has no legs to show for it. For what!? Was it in the name of protecting America....HELL ****ING NO!
I support those in the service,my dad, my Grandpa, and my uncle served in the Navy as well, and I wish you all the best of luck and health....But- I am sorry, if you think you are fighting to protect America, you are just one of the sheep. The service may have been about that at one point, but it has not been for a while....

This company lies to the people they charge. They lie about weight of items, they are NEVER on time. You will receive a call from their a**hole dispatch team. There names are Dave and Steve. Usually having some ridiculous excuse why they can't make it.
I had to leave some freight from my semi trailer on their docks to make a delivery and by the time I got back, it was a complete mess and MISSING A WHOLE 4x4 pallet!!!!!!!!
Their drivers are dumber than a box of rocks. They constantly crash into others property, the trucks trailers are falling apart. One truck had mouse droppings on some Boy Scout food but they swept it off and delivered it anyways.
The woman that works in billing, Kathy Kastner is a complete b***h. She has this mousy little voice, but, she hangs up on people...she thinks her family's company is the best around when in fact it is FAR from that. She lies on bills all the time. Up charging every single delivery. Nothing honest about them. Her husband John Kastner is her b*tch. He is told to lie about every detail as well. These people are 100% bad news.
Do not use this company. You will either loose your freight, it will be damaged BY McDonough and they will deny deny deny. No apologies for lateness and no regard for others livelihood.

Some of the best companies around are still private: Evernote, SpaceX, Twitter, and, of course, Dropbox, the file-sharing service that's ostensibly surrounded by Google's (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) Drive, Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT ) SkyDrive, and Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL ) iCloud.
More than anything else, the flexibility to handle work as well as personal files deftly has made Dropbox popular. What we didn't know is just how popular. But then Strategy Analytics released a report that found it to be the second-most-popular "locker" for digital music and movies, trailing only iCloud.

The silver hounds over at SLV tracking the price of silver know that when non voting Fed member Bullard says the 31 July notes are stale, he's a litmus test sent out to see how much the market is depending on the "stimulatum excretatum" put out by the master of confetti, Bent Bernookie.So far, the stock market, that bastion of "free enterprise" (hereinafter to be called free printed money) goes positively apoplectic when they can't see the dollar destroyed most assuredly. So the AG meisters over at SLV are popping, but the venture capitalist called SLW is dropping.The balk by crazy Fred the Fed, is a feint designed to see how much pain there is in the prospect, no QE. And he should be.There's nothing left in the quiver of arrows to shoot at the target. Until such time as it costs money to lay aside dollars at the Fed, a negative interest rate, banks will not turn to joehomeowner to make his life easier.
Let's say you're 1/2 right and it's meaningless or call it neutral (which it's not). I heard him too and although anything 3 weeks old is stale, except maybe white bread, he also said if things get decidedly worse (and he said HE doesn't decide),they will definitely act.But assuming the immediate effect is neutral, now add China to the fray.When them folks pump, they use rocket fuel.They'll tell everyone to stay home and fornicate to increase purchases of formula, which also increases the price of lead.

"Dropping the Bag in Mompos Blues" Mompós by richiecdisc
Mompós Travel Guide: 63 reviews and 250 photos
Mompos sits steaming on the mighty but sauntering Rio Magdalena, an ode to its former glorious colonial self, parts in decay but others gleaming as any World Heritage Unesco Site might. This is a Colombia found nowhere else, half Bayou swamp and half romance novel ala Garcia Marquez, rolled into a somewhat inaccessible gem that more and more people are finding their way to. While many extol the adventure of getting here and surely that is half the fun, the town itself would be a stunner even if on a more mainstream path in a country that until recently was considered a no-go due to dangers having little to do with remote river travel.
Mompos may not be approaching the popularity of its nearby rival Cartagena, but for those inclined to dig deeper into a country's treasures, it is garnering its fair share of attention and adherents. Lulled into languid submission by the meandering river that runs through it and charmed by an intriguing conglomeration of colonial architecture, visitors find it easy to get lost in the ambiance of another time for more time than they allotted this sleepy backwater town. It should matter not. When you spend the time and effort to get here, why not linger in a town likely to change a lot as Colombia grows into one of South America's top destinations.

I like the sound of Mompós, from how to get there until you left again! What an amazing place to visit. La Casa Amarilla looks like it was well worth the cost & great Restaurant tips too! I know Sue & I would have loved to visit this unique OTBP location.
I would not mind going for a nice stroll along the river, having some lemonade and coconut rice...and right now I would even enjoy this humid heat :)
Mompós sounds like a great place to soak up the colonial atmosphere and even do some birdwatching. Fine tips and photos as always!
What a cute town this is! Looks almost like made with cake icing or gingerbread :-)) And again I see that the food is really not my exact liking, but the fruits and the fresh juices are and I miss them dearly. Loverly cemetery!!
oh that kingfisher... stunning! // in some ways this sounds similar to iquitos - the steamyness, the river, local stalls selling juices etc. loved this page!

Our chances? Slimmer than they were a week ago!
There seems to be a dramatic improvement in the quality of football in Easten Europe, we could well be in for a bit of a tough game, especially with Bale, Ade, BAE, Younes and Dembele all missing.
IMO our squad cannot continue to compete on all 4 front's, not unless Townsend, Livermore, Falque, Naughton et al can raise their game and sustain it.
Gylfi and Dempsey are in need of some goals, just to help their confidence, I see both as being vital to our cause this season and currently they have been a little flat, Gylfi especially has a lot of potential. Mind you Dempsey has just flown half way round the world to help secure a win over Antigua-Barbuda! He's probably knackered.
It will be interesting to see who starts on the left wing! IMO Dempsey is not a winger.

The team to me hasn't played badly, just not overly well - but that is totally understandable with the changes that have occurred. I don't think it will take much to see the best from them again. A good win (not just a good result like Utd), with a few goals and I think we'll press on. I'm not around to watch it live tonight, but I'll be watching a recording later - hopefully either this game or the match at St Mary's will see the team gel for 90 (or at least 75+ minutes).
Lemmon so far has seemed to me to be back to his best. He seems to want to take players on again. But from what I've seen, he's done this before - faded, come back and then faded again. Here's to this time it being a permanent change for the good.
Maybe AVB will use Townsend tonight - or even Falque. Odd that Falque didn't make it at Saints either. I wonder if it is an attitude rather than ability thing like Two Saints?

Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton robbed of possession during car break-in at Costco
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- January 17, 2013
LINDY Chamberlain-Creighton has found herself at the centre of another police investigation, with thieves breaking into her family's four-wheel-drive.
The 64-year-old told the Daily Telegraph the car was ransacked while parked at the Costco wholesale outlet, at Auburn in Sydney's south west, on Tuesday afternoon.
Her and husband Rick had been holidaying in Victoria and stopped in to buy supplies on their way home to the Hunter Valley.
The offenders took off with two suitcases of clothes, two video cameras, jewellery and an iPad.
"I'm feeling a bit exposed and ripped off,'' she said.
"It's the first time that we have had time to ourselves for a long time.
"It's a really good lesson.''
Police have confirmed they are investigating the incident.
Ms Chamberlain-Creighton was accused and convicted of killing her baby daughter, Azaria, while camping at near Uluru in 1980.
Her conviction was eventually overturned and a fourth inquest held last year found that a dingo stole the nine-week-old from the family's tent.

Accidental Heroes

Scott Bradley, 36, was accused of being child murderer Robert Thompson, whose real identity is protected, and suffered months of malicious abuse and torment from a hate mob in the village of Garlieston, Wigtownshire, in Scotland.
His mother Sue Bradley, 66, found her beloved son hanging from the top of their stairs three weeks ago.
Mrs Bradley said her son, a handyman, had turned into a nervous wreck after a campaign of hate in which he was branded a killer and a paedophile.
She said: '(One man) went round telling everyone that my son was definitely Thompson. People started shouting abuse at Scott in the street and calling him a child killer.'
'It was a build-up of months and months of pressure. The worst part for him was feeling helpless. He just couldn't take anymore.'
She said she was shocked at how callous people have been about his death and how little remorse his tormenters have shown.
She told the People: 'The night Scott died a friend was at a party and a woman talked about it and said, "Good result".'
Mrs Fergus said: 'What happened to Scott makes my blood run cold.
'I'm shocked and upset that he has apparently taken his own life.
'Whatever the rights and wrongs of this case, this is one that shows how dangerous it is to spread false rumours and gossip about something as serious as the identity of child killers.'
She said: 'Sadly Scott's death goes to show it is other people who are left to suffer as a result of the official conspiracy, lies and deceit that the authorities have used in this case.'

|Can a Man Handle Pregnancy?
Unfortuntately, when an embryo implants into an abdominal tissue, detachment is not so simple. The problem is that the development of the placenta can cause complete intermixing between embryonic and host tissues so that there is no clean boundary between the two. The more extensive the intermixing is, the more problematic it becomes to remove placental tissue. The physician has to cut between the wholely placental tissue, and the intermingled placental-'maternal' tissue. Large blood vessels must be severed, and as a consequence, difficult-to-control internal bleeding can take place.Uh... I think I'll pass on that.
Problems are not just confined to the stage at which a pregnancy is terminated. Long before the final event, a placenta can cause severe damage to an organ that it's invaded with the possibility of spontaneous hemorrhaging that can quickly result in death.

Critic's Notebook
Tough Opera for Tough Times
By ANTHONY TOMMASINI
Published: January 1, 2003
Facing a sinking economy, opera companies and orchestras large and small across the United States report severe deficits and are starting to panic. As the directors of many of these institutions ponder what to do, one of their number, Pamela Rosenberg, the tenacious general director of the San Francisco Opera, is absolutely clear about what not to do.
"We are not going to get through this economic downturn and come out the other end by replacing quality with mediocrity," Ms. Rosenberg, who has set the company on course to becoming America's most adventurous opera house, said in a recent telephone interview. "If we are going to be worthy of support, we have to make a difference in people's lives."
Companies that typically react to economic uncertainty by playing it safe and catering to subscribers would be wise to heed Ms. Rosenberg's example. Despite recent announcements from her office of dire budget deficits and cutbacks in some programming, she is determined to implement her bold artistic vision.
To understand why her supporters are betting that she will prevail, consider how she came to this prominent post in the first place.
She didn't want the job when the opera's board approached her more than three years ago. Though an American, Ms. Rosenberg had spent most of her career, some 35 years, running houses in Europe. At the time she was winning praise and creating a buzz at the Stuttgart Opera in Germany for innovative programming rich in modernist fare, as well as for championing experimental directors and younger singers. For all its past glory, the San Francisco Opera had become stodgy, as Ms. Rosenberg said publicly. No matter what the board members were telling her, she doubted they truly wanted a shake-up. Moreover, accustomed to running a government-subsidized house, she didn't relish the prospect of fund-raising. But in the end the board convinced her.
On taking charge last year Ms. Rosenberg, 57, implemented "Animating Opera," a five-year creative plan to present series of works related to broad themes like "Outsiders or Pioneers?" And "Seminal Works of Modern Times." She reconstituted the rehearsal schedule to allow more time to prepare challenging operas, notably Messiaen's visionary, complex, five-hour "St. François d'Assise," which received its American stage premiere by the company in September in a hauntingly modern production. An impressive cast and inspired orchestra were under the direction of Donald Runnicles.
Far from intimidating audiences "St. François" drew the strongest attendance figures of any San Francisco Opera production so far this season, even beating out "Turandot" with Jane Eaglen. The last three performances were sold out.
And who was its biggest booster? Karl Mills, the president of the board. An investment adviser, Mr. Mills is an ebullient opera buff in his early 40's who, company officials report, attended five out of six performances of "St. François."
"Actually, it was four and a half," he admitted in a recent interview. "I was so moved. Lots of people who had apprehensions were just blown away, not only by its artistic impact, but its spiritual impact. It left a void that is hard to imagine filling."
Asked whether convincing audiences to spend five hours at a modern opera was difficult, Mr. Mills responded, "It's better than five hours of watching CNBC these days; it's better than a lot of what people spend five hours on."
No sooner had the production closed when the announcement came that the company was saddled with a $7.7 million deficit on an operating budget of some $60 million for the year. Looked at in a national context, the gap was hardly out of line.
For the first time in a decade the acclaimed Cleveland Orchestra is in the red, by some $1.3 million, roughly the same as the deficit at the Philadelphia Orchestra. Despite showing profits for 14 out of the last 17 seasons, the Chicago Symphony is now $6 million in the hole. Some smaller institutions are facing catastrophe. The San Jose Symphony, which tried to stave off bankruptcy by canceling its 2002-3 season, recently announced that there was no choice but to dissolve after operating for 123 years.
Still, at the San Francisco Opera it did not help Ms. Rosenberg's mission when, after the deficits were made public, Mr. Mills was widely quoted as saying that the company would have to take "a more conservative view" in the future. But Mr. Mills said he was referring to budget projections and administrative costs, not to artistic plans and commissions. Ms. Rosenberg asserts that the cost of mounting the Messiaen had nothing to do with the shortfall from last season's budget. The debt, it would seem, is truly a case of "It's the economy stupid!"
San Francisco, once a center for blue chip corporations, was pummeled by the dot-com bust. Most foundations in the area reported 50 percent declines in their endowments, said Elizabeth Connell Nielsen, the opera company's director of public relations. The state's deficit forced a 60 percent cut in the California Arts Council budget.

Usually happens once a week or so, depending on how much I play. It has happened 4 times today, and it started making a high pitch noise when it freezes. I don't know what causes them. Should I be worried since the freezes are increasing?
The noise is fine, no worries.My wii freezes like 10 times a day if you haven't noticed how much I go on and offline already haha. It shouldn't be an issue though as the freezes mostly occur due to connection problems.
When was the last time you changed the oil in your Wii? Old cars like these need proper maintenance!
i know folks normally go the connection route with this and not the hardware route, and i know correlation is not causation, but i was in the same spot several months ago with frequent "buzz" freezes. i changed my optical drive out because of the other issues related to disc read errors, and in the last 2 to 3 months since then, i have had only a handful of freezes. maybe once every 2 or 3 weeks. again, could be because of other factors, but throwing it out there for folks more knowledgable than me.

Hornets snap 4-game skid with 99-93 win over Magic
Published: Friday, February 11, 2011 at 8:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 11, 2011 at 8:52 p.m.
ORLANDO, Fla. — Willie Green had 24 points and David West added 17 points and 17 rebounds as the New Orleans Hornets rallied to beat the Orlando Magic, 99-93.
The Hornets snapped a four-game losing streak, while Orlando's loss stopped a string of two straight wins. The Magic are now 5-6 since posting their last three-game winning streak last month.
Chris Paul added 15 points, Jarrett Jack had 13 and Trevor Ariza 10 for the Hornets.
The Magic erased a nine-point halftime deficit, but came up short down the stretch thanks to a slew of late turnovers. They had 16 for the game.
Dwight Howard led the way for Orlando with 20 points and 17 rebounds, and Hedo Turkoglu added 16. J.J. Redick and Earl Clark both chipped in 14 off the bench.

DETROIT – Marek Zidlicky scored 1:09 into overtime to give the Red Wings a 2-1 win against the New York Rangers on Wednesday at Joe Louis Arena.
Zidlicky, who was acquired in a trade from the New Jersey Devils on Monday, jammed in a shot that rolled over goalie Cam Talbot's back and into the net. It was his fifth goal.
Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard made 39 saves.
Justin Abdelkader also scored for Detroit (36-15-11), and Henrik Zetterberg had two assists.
Dan Girardi scored for New York (39-17-7). Talbot made 29 saves.
Each goalie made key saves to get the game to overtime.
Talbot made a glove save on Niklas Kronwall's shot from the high slot with 10.4 seconds left in the third. He stopped a deflection off Girardi's stick with 3:43 remaining after Pavel Datsyuk cut in off the right wing and attempted a backhand pass to Tomas Jurco, who was on the 2-on-1 rush with Datsyuk.
Howard denied Rick Nash from the right circle on a 2-on-1 rush with 7:50 remaining in the second period. He stopped Mats Zuccarello's tip attempt a little more than five minutes into the second period.
Talbot made a nice save on Jurco's shot from the slot 3:10 into the second.
New York outshot Detroit 16-7 in the second period.
Abdelkader opened the scoring 6:12 into the game when he deflected in Zetterberg's no-look backhand pass from Talbot's left into an open net. The goal went to video review because it appeared the puck may have gone in off of Abdelkader's skate.
It was Abdelkader's 14th goal.
Zetterberg was playing for the first time after missing four games because of a head injury.
Girardi's power-play goal tied it 1-1 with 2:58 left in the first period. The defenseman dove to knock in a loose puck in the crease for his third goal.
Girardi's goal came with Zidlicky in the penalty box for holding.
Rangers defenseman Dan Boyle played his 1,000th NHL game.

Always ask your health care professional for complete information about this product and your specific health needs.
COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Minipress
USES: Prazosin is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
Prazosin belongs to a class of medications called alpha blockers. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels so blood can flow more easily.
OTHER USES: This section contains uses of this drug that are not listed in the approved professional labeling for the drug but that may be prescribed by your health care professional. Use this drug for a condition that is listed in this section only if it has been so prescribed by your health care professional.
This drug may also be used to treat certain blood circulation disorders (Raynaud's phenomenon). Prazosin may also be used to treat problems urinating due to an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) or to help your body "pass," or get rid of, kidney stones through urination.
HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth with or without food, usually two or three times daily or as directed by your doctor. If stomach upset occurs, take with food or milk. The dosage is based on your age, medical condition and response to therapy.
Prazosin can occasionally cause sudden fainting after the first dose and anytime that your dose is increased. To reduce your risk of fainting, the first dose prescribed by your doctor will be the smallest dose available. You should take this first dose as you are going to bed. This will decrease the possibility of fainting. Your dose may be gradually increased. Take your first new dose at bedtime when your dose is increased unless directed otherwise by your doctor.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day. If you are taking this medication for high blood pressure, it is important to continue taking it even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick. It may take up to several weeks before the full benefit of this drug takes effect.
Do not stop taking this medication without first consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is abruptly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased.
Tell your doctor if your condition worsens (such as your routine blood pressure readings increase).

Take a Look Inside a Completely Empty Data Center
A data center without data is... well, just a center, I guess. But it's quite fascinating to actually see inside one, before all the server racks arrive.
A data center without data is... well, just a center, I guess. But it's quite fascinating to actually see inside one, before all the server racks arrive.
Chinese and U.S. digitial policies don't always see eye-to-eye, but now China's government agencies, including the People's Bank of China and the Ministry of Finance, are asking the nation's banks to remove the IBM servers over security fears.
There's not much in rural Washington, but there are lot of dams. And dams mean hydroelectric power. Following the lure of cheap electricity, Bitcoin miners and their power-hungry server farms are making out for sleepy little towns in the Pacific Northwest.
You're about to watch a video via YouTube. Hell, you watch dozens of videos every day on YouTube. But do you have any idea how it works?
The eBay auction for the server that once hosted the WikiLeaks documents, including Cablegate, has finally come to a close with a winning bid of $33,000. There's only one problem: the winner is a 17-year-old boy who used his dad's account to bid and is in no position to cough up the cash.
Shopping for a new server? Want a piece of whistleblower history? Want to piss off Julian Assange? You can do all three of these things at once, if you buy the server that hosted hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks a few years ago. And it still works!
If you had your heart set on getting back some of the data you had stored on Megaupload, now would be a good time to stop hoping. According to Kim Dotcom, petabytes of user data have already been deleted off old Megaupload servers. Thousands of pirated movies cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
Facebook's new Graph Search is an ambitious project, and brings with it the need for some serious computational grunt. Here's how Facebook is taking on that challenge.
If you're hankering for an Xserve, you've been out of luck since 2011. But there's always an alternative. You can make your own by squeezing a whole 160 Mac Minis into a custom rack, for instance. That's what a fellow named Steve did, and the results are staggering.

Facebook already built its own data center and its own servers. And now the social-networking giant is building its own storage hardware - hardware for housing all the digital stuff uploaded by its more than 845 million users.
Hidden inside a Norwegian mountain, next to a cold fjord which supplies cooling water, Green Mountain is the world's most environmentally-friendly data center. It also sounds like it was built by hobbits.
Amazon and Google generally get all the attention for their data centers and cloud services. But you know who has the fastest servers around? Microsoft. Yep.
The enemy of my enemy is my data center server provider, or something. Anyway, rumor says Apple is using Microsoft and Amazon servers to power iCloud. How cozy! [AppleInsider]
The US Gov is no stranger to Amazon's data centers: they've used them for sites like Recovery.gov and Energy.gov. But after shuttering 40% of their data centers, the Government is looking to Amazon to house data that's considerably more sensitive.
For reasons unknown, the F.B.I. raided a data center and seized several servers, causing known online brands, including Pinboard and those in the Curbed network (like our friends at Eater), to go offline.
Apple's ginormous data center in North Carolina has—or had?—been shrouded in mystery for some time now. But did you know that they just inked a deal on another iData haven, nearly as big, in SoCal? But what for?
Amazon's EC2 cloud storage service had some problems while we were all sleeping last night (Read: IT CRASHED), causing a few websites we've come to know and love to take a brief nap (Read: THEY CRASHED).
Facebook recently took the wraps off its shiny new data center in Prineville, Oregon and—courtesy the Open Compute Project—we've learned the whole massive thing sounds lean, mean and relatively green.

THQ Announced a Return to the Virtual Octagon For UFC Undisputed 3
Written Friday, June 03, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
THQ has announced that UFC Undisputed 3 will mark a return to the Octagon for the MMA series, with an increased focus on ' toe-to-toe combat', improved visual presentation and accessibility. New features will include the PRIDE Mode, two new weight classes (featherweight and bantamweight) and an expanded roster consisting of more than 150 UFC fighters.
PRIDE Mode will enable players to fight in the renowned Japanese MMA organisation, with commentators Bas Rutten and Stephen Quadros overseeing the action. The Japanese MMA rules will be in place for the PRIDE Mode, with soccer-style kicks, head stomps and ground knees to the head all allowed.
"UFC Undisputed 3 is on track to deliver an incredible virtual MMA experience unlike any other," said Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President of Core Games at THQ. "This product is intense, engaging and highly competitive while still being extremely accessible, making it a must-have for millions of UFC fans, traditional fighting game enthusiasts and more casual sports fans around the world."
"We are excited to launch UFC Undisputed 3 in January 2012 and expect it to be the best version yet," UFC President Dana White said. "We've added two new weight classes and several new features to the game that will bring UFC fans closer to the Octagon than ever before."
There's also a new submission system and the improved visual presentation includes fighter entrances, new camera positions, improved facial animation and a gritty, high contrast look. Finally, the online modes will also be given a revamp for UFC Undisputed 3, which is set to release in January 2012.

Lara: I Would Go To 160-Pounds To Fight Sergio Martinez
By Ryan Burton
Erislandy Lara visited with us on The Boxing Lab, BoxingScene.com's official audio show this past Tuesday. Lara faces Ronald Hearns tonight on Showtime's latest edition of their ShoBox series.
The fight was originally scheduled to take place in February but was postponed when Andre Berto tore a biceps muscle which pushed back his rematch against Victor Ortiz till June. Lara doesn't expect the layoff to cause any problems.
"We were training well and then it got cancelled. We took two weeks off and then got back right into it. In reality we had two great training camps," Lara told The Boxing Lab.
The Cuban said that he isn't looking ahead and that all of his focus is on Hearns. He also said that he is confident that he will finally land a big fight soon.
"We have Hearns Friday night and then we will get a big fight after. Right now we just have to stay focused and the big fight will come," said a confident Lara.
Promoter Lou Dibella also paid a recent visit to The Boxing Lab and said that if Lara gets past Hearns that he would consider him as a possible opponent for middleweight king Sergio Martinez. Lara has appeared on Boxingscene numerous times campaigning for a fight against Martinez so I asked him for his reaction to DiBella's comments.
"First there is no doubt that we will beat Hearns," Lara stated. The natural junior middleweight seemed skeptical that DiBella would actually make the fight. "We hope that it's (our next fight) Martinez or another big name. We are happy they mentioned us. We will see if it becomes reality. Right now its just talk. They say no one wants to fight him at 154 or 160. I will go to 160 to fight him," Lara revealed.
