Still dreaming about travel…
It's been a while since I last posted, but I really struggled to figure out what I was going to do with this blog once my European adventure ended. But I know that writing is something that I love to do, and travelling is something I'm so passionate about. There are too many stories to share and pictures to post that I can't just abandon this blog. :)
Life back in Vancouver has been a tough adjustment. Not only do I have to get used to staying in the city during the weekends, but I also took on a full-time job that restricts the amount of travel I can do each year. 2012 saw me take 3 months worth of trips. 2013 will likely see me take 3 weeks. :| It will be hard, but it just means that I have to make the most of each opportunity.
Luckily, there are opportunities to travel internationally with my new job. I'm not sure where it will take me, but it's not unusual for people here to go to Dubai, Korea, Pakistan, Russia, Japan, and all parts of Europe. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll get to go on one or two trips each year. :)
I don't know if anything I do will ever top living in Germany for a year. I saw 18 different countries and have hundreds of memories that I will never forget. But I'm still daydreaming and still thinking about my next trip.
Here are my top 5 travel destinations:
- Kenya – Ever since I was a kid, I've always had a fascination with Kenya and Tanzania. It started with my interest in anthropology, and later on, hiking and climbing. My ideal trip would see me attempt to summit Kilimanjaro, go on a safari, and take a boat to Zanzibar for some relaxation.
- Nepal – I've done initial research into long(ish) hikes in the Nepal region. I'd love to spend some time in Kathmandu, visit some remote areas of the country, and do a 2 or 3-week trek through the mountains.
- Peru – I want to hike Machu Picchu.
- Russia/Mongolia – Visit Moscow and St. Petersburg, then do the Trans-Siberian Railway to Mongolia.
- Antarctica – This trip will likely have to wait until I have a ton of cash lying around, because this is going to be expensive! I want to see wildlife, and also check out the gorgeous landscape in person.
The most likely scenario will see me travel to Kenya in 2014. I'd like to spend 3-4 weeks there, but it will really depend on my vacation time and other factors like… who's going to come with me (if anyone)?
What are your top travel destinations right now?

Limited quantities available. Prices subject to change without notice. Like we say, if it's on the site, it's in the warehouse -- just SOMETIMES it might have some other player's name on it! If you snooze, you lose, so ORDER YOURS NOW!

Consisting of:
Download the file here: https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/D...05D7C424EBAE5F
Instructions for installing on the 9860:
1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml." Vista/Win7 users: In the apploader folder, simply click on "Compatibility files" to see the actual Vendor.xml file. Once you've got that - simply delete the vendor.xml file there (even if you've deleted or think you've deleted it in the folder previously) and voila, it will allow you to update to the newly installed OS!
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
The process may take up to 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a black "BlackBerry" screen with a status bar for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again, and it should load the OS to the device.

Or where else should I go to download firmware for my device?
Actually, all I want is russian interface and russian input.
Thank you in before.

For five innings the game looked like it was going to be in the hands of the Lady Braves. That was until in the top of the sixth when Collins tied the game at 4-4 on a three-run home run and then took a 6-4 lead that would be the final score, ending the high school careers of seniors Taryn Biddle and Katelyn Roy for Grant County High School.

Menendez is responding to a ConocoPhillips press release about its annual shareholders meeting that was headlined: "ConocoPhillips Highlights Solid Results and Raises Concerns Over Un-American Tax Proposals at Annual Meeting of Shareholders."
Menendez's demand for a public apology ensures another collision in what's already guaranteed to be a colorful political thrust-and-parry over energy profits and prices at the hearing.
Mulva, in a statement contained in the press release, said:
"Not only would increased taxes cost jobs, raise consumer prices and shrink government revenue, but they would also hamper our ability to remain competitive and reinvest in jobs, new energy technologies and resources in the United States and internationally."
Democrats are floating a plan to repeal an estimated $21 billion over a decade in industry incentives, arguing that companies enjoying high profits – amid high prices – should not get tax breaks. Their plan would steer the savings into deficit reduction.

Using the right tires and wheel systems on your mobile equipment can help keep things moving and operating by reducing downtime.
By Kerry Clines, Senior Editor
Long tread life
Titan Tire says its DTE4 tire offers radial construction and a deep lug tread pattern. Its E-4 tread depth promotes long tread life and excellent traction, while the open, non-directional tread pattern provides self cleaning and extra bite on the ground. An open center tread design helps reduce internal heat generation and allows heat to more easily dissipate, reducing tire fatigue and extending tire life. The tire is available in four sizes — 18.00R33, 24.00R35, 27.00R49, and 33.00R51 — and a variety of compounds.
Large contact area for even wear
Michelin's X-Quarry S tire for rigid dumpers features non-directional tread with deep, angled grooves and an unbroken center for reduced vibration. A square, reinforced tire shoulder provides a large contact area for even wear. A thick sidewall band protects the tire from abrasions and damage caused by rocks or other debris. The tire is said to be easy to repair and features cooler operating temperatures and low rolling resistance for better fuel economy and lower operating costs.
Long-lasting service
Yokohama's RT41 E-4 radial tire is specially designed for articulated dump trucks and scrapers. It features four steel belts to promote long-lasting service. The company says the tread pattern design with non-directional block pattern provides both abrasion resistance and excellent traction on soft, rocky, and gravel surfaces. The tire is available in three sizes: 23.5R25, 26.5R25, and 29.5R25.
Extra-deep tread pattern
Two off-the-road tires from Goodyear boast an extra-deep tread pattern for enhanced performance in certain conditions, interlocking stability blading to promote a solid footprint, and high-angle grooves for traction and cleaning. The RM-4A+ E4 is available in six sizes: 2700R49, 3300R51, 3700R57, 46/90R57, 53/80R63, and 59/80R63. The RM-3A E3 is available in two sizes: 53/80R63 and 59/80R63.
Bridgestone Americas Off Road Tire, a division of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, LLC
Reduced vibration/friction
Bridgestone's V-Steel J-Traction (VJT) radial off-road tire features a computer-optimized center block that minimizes vibration levels, reducing friction between the center block and the ground to improve wear resistance and tire life. The tire has a specialized self-cleaning tread design and non-directional tread pattern to maximize tread volume and traction in all directions. The tires are available in five sizes — 17.5R25, 20.5R25, 23.5R25, 26.5R25, and 29.5R25.
Quick tire changes
Titan's Accelerated Change Technology (ACT) wheel features a design that allows service technicians to change or rotate the rear tires on a mine haul truck quickly and easily. Featuring two-piece lock rings that can release the tire assembly from the wheel, the ACT wheel allows for easy removal. When an inside dual tire needs to be changed, it simply slips over the outer dual wheel, saving nearly half the time previously needed to change tires.

It's easy to say that you will snatch more if you just get stronger. Sure, part of getting stronger is lifting heavier weights. Yet, becoming more explosive in a lift often means that you have to go backward with the weight.
Yes, if you want to become more explosive, you probably need to lift lighter weights, as in the ones you can be explosive with, while maintaining perfect technique.
Tommy Kono once told me that he never ended a lifting session without doing three perfect lifts, regardless of the weight on the bar. It cements the technique into your neuromusclar synapses. Here is what I have learned. That is harder to do than it sounds.
When you are training the Olympic lifts and steadily going up in weight, once you have missed a lift, it's because you are now too weak to do it correctly. It's maddening. You will probably try to dig deep try that weight again. You may or may not make it. Let's say you do. There is almost no way you are going to make that weight two more times. You are simply too tired. Therefore, you must lower the weight. How much? Good question. I have found that after I've started missing lifts, knocking off 5 kg means nothing. I can't feel the difference. I recommend dropping down to what you do as a power snatch or power clean, but do the full lift.
After doing your three good lifts, move onto partials with heavy weight. I like pulls from the blocks, starting from your sticking point…
That's some real world advice. Take it or leave it.
Live strong,
Roger LaPointe
Today is a good day to lift."
(WEBMASTERS COMMENT: A good weight lifting bar is essential for optimal lifting. Atomic Athletic has a great selection of bars that will accomodate any style of weightlifting you do. Here's a link –

NEW YORK (Jan. 13)
Herbert H. Lehman was unanimously elected chairman the Board of Overseers of the Jewish Theological Seminary at the annual meeting of board last night. Mr. Lehman has been associated with the Seminary for several ##ars as a member of its board of directors, and will continue in that post even after assumes the duties of his new office.
The Board of Overseers, which is the Seminary's national planning and campaign committee, recommended at the meeting that its members extend their activities on half of the seminary's 1947-48 maintenance drive for $1,750,000 beyond their own communities and endeavor to interest neighboring communities in supporting the seminary's program "for building a dynamic Judaism in America."

Sobered up this morning and realised I was pissed off being skint and unemployed …So I sent the girlfriend for a job interview at IKEA. The guy said "Come in, build yourself a chair and sit down".
Do I get the job?
She didn't get the job, and I was so laid back about it my doctor reckons I've got really low blood pressure.
He prescribed two sets of IKEA self assembly wall units.
Actally they looked OK, but I decided to opt for something that went together a bit more securely. Cereal boxes.
Self assembly not required
Talking of secure, I'm having computer problems…
USB – Un-known Scientific Breakthrough
One day it'll happen to you… Porn stash un-stashed!
Sorry Mum!
Of course, the best way to make a grovelling apology to the female species …Cake
I was aiming at your mouth
Hmmmmm, Cake! Reminds me of the time I took my little sister with me as I got a hair cut.
She stood by the Barbers chair eating a cake when he turned to her and said " you're gonna get hair on your muffin".
"Course I am" she said, " an' I'll get tits too".

And talking of birds I'd like to get in the sack…
Ellie Goulding nips out
Legs Wide Shut
Goin' down
Down the pub last night and there's these two birds with really strong Cardiff accents.
I know that accent I said. "you two girls are from Scotland, ain't you?"
"Wales you fucking prick", one of them barked back.
"Sorry" I said, "you two whales are from Scotland!"
One lump, or two?
Britney Spears, yea I know, she's no Rihanna, and she ain't a patch on Beyonce either (or Christina or Katy Perry for that matter).
But anyway, here she is, baring her soul (and stuff) in the most controversial, but openly honest interview she's done for weeks.
Interview compiled by Fat Bastard
Photography by Mike Oxlong
Fat Bastard – Britney, I would like to know how a beautiful young girl like yourself deals with the tremendous pressure of international superstardom. Don't you ever feel burnt out?
Britney Spears...
Britney Spears – Shit No, I just love being famous – it's a fucking carnival ride man, an' I'm doin' just great!!!
FB – That's good to hear, what's your secret?
Doin' Just Great!
BS – Well lets see… I'm on drugs most of the time. That helps. I've started shooting guns, an shit. I'm always pissed as a fuckin' fart. Oh yea, and my new boyfriend (Jason Trawick) fucks like an animal!
FB – So your not against drugs then? In previous statements you've always said…
BS – Fuck man! I'm not supposed to talk 'bout that! My lawyers gonna be so pissed off at me. Want some breakfast? Don't be shy…I'm having some anyway. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, drugs are bad. Don't do that shit!
Next fucking question please!
FB – There's been a lot of… Er, sorry Britney, I can see your… You might like to cover your, er, self! Your, er, ahemmm is showing!!
BS – What this old thing, fuck man every guy on the planet's seen my bacon! Hey, didn't you go down on me in my last interview? Or was it some other guy? No, I'm sure it was you… You've got a small dick, right?
This old thing?
FB – I think you must have me confused with someone else!
BS – Oh yeah big boy! Why don't you an that cute guy with the camera have ourselves a good old fashioned threesome right here on the floor then?
Yeah, Big Boy!
Fat Bastard – Well, I really don't know if…SURE!!!
We spent a whole day enduring the 'most ridiculous fukin hat in the UK' competition, only to discover what we already know. Give spoilt little rich girls a few £££'s from the taxpayer and they'll go out of their way to look stupid.
WTF's that ugly piece of shit on her head?? Oh yea, ginger hair!
Missing was Beatrice's role model Mum, Sarah 'Toe sucking Fergie' Ferguson? Although both her kids were there, but she was banned in case she caused embarrassment. Luckily Tara Palmer Tomkinson (TPT) was there to represent all that is right and proper in the British society.
Shame though, coke snorting, 'tits out for the lads' Tara remained fully clothed on this occasion.
Tara - Royal Blue!
Also in the news this week:
After more ten years and trillions of dollars spent. Thousands of soldiers dead and horrifically wounded. State of the art surveylance technology and elite military intelegence officers. The Americans have finally found Osama Bin Laden… In his house!
This incident has emphasised the point that despite speaking the same language, it's amazing how there's some subtle differences between American-English and proper (UK) English –
For example :
American's say "sidewalk" while we say "pavement"
They say "pants" we say "trousers"
They say "buried at sea" but we say "stripped naked in a concrete cell, chained to a steel bed frame with a car battery wired to the bollocks whilst being beaten for answers"
And talking about unlucky bastards, Russell Brand.
He was happy as a dog with two dicks 'till he copped an eyeful of Katy without her slap on.
Katy Perry - So what, I still would.
I was sat on the tube this morning sweating like James Corden in a cake shop, when this georgeous looking Thai bird sat down opposite.
Getting an eye-full upskirt I'm thinking, "Don't get an erection, don't get an erection" …But she fuckin' did!
He entered an erection contest and easily made it past the semis
Got off the tube and there's this homeless guy sat on the floor with a three legged dog.
He's holding a sign saying "Please help, I'm Starving" and I'm just thinking, nah, he can't be that fuckin' hungry, he's not even finished his dog yet!
Up the road there's another unwashed selling 'The Big Issue'. Don't they realise if it had tits in it the homeless crisis would be sorted by now?
Good news for the homeless - 85% Of accidents happen in the House
Some little old lady asked me how she could to get to the hospital – So I pushed her under the bus.
As I got on I spotted an old mate sat on his own so I went over. After the usual 'what you been up-to' and other inevitable bullshit chit-chat, there's an awkward silence, so, I think of a joke.
'What d'ya do if an epileptic has a fit in the bath? – Throw in your washing'.
As we laughed the guy sat behind us, built like a brick shit-house, leaned over and said 'NOT funny! My son had a fit in the bath and died'
We both shit ourselves as he stood up to get off the bus, then he added, 'He choked on a sock'
Fat Bastard.
Fat Bus-tard
Been some time since the last update.
Apart from being a lazy Fat Bastard there IS a reason …It started when I was arguing with some clever cunt that shoplifting and burglary was perfectly acceptable. For example, if you had a serious alcohol problem and needed beer tokens. Seems reasonable to me. A guy's gotta drink beer, right?
Anyway, seems like some Judges never agree with common sense and the twat gave me 18 fuckin' months!
Oh well, now back to buying my own food, paying rent, council tax, leccy bills and stuff.
Shit, wheres my crow bar.
Got a lot to catch up on …Seems that in Football sexism is a biy of a Gray area.
Sian Massey, or as she's now known 'Just for Men' ...Use once to get rid of Gray.
You couldn't say I was sexist , I love women. I reckon every guy should have at least three.
Not sure about babies though. I like 'em, but I couldn't eat a full one.
Puddum erp, puddum erp
Hmmmm, Hooters - Like Father like son
That is daddy's thumb, right??
Thought for the day:
When you're sat on a bus, head set on, iPod volume top whack – REMEMBER …Your farts are only silent to yourself!
And talking about farting…
Boring Christmas? Your talkin' out your arse.
Nice shoes.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown decides to ban the legal high Mephedrone in the run up to the general election. (That's Meow Meow to you and me:) What a Dick. Surely he'd have more chance of people voting for him if they were ON DRUGS! Prick.
Meanwhile the icelandic volcano's still blowing Ash…. That's more than Cheryl Cole is!
And the airlines are still grounded. Still, at least this cuts down the immigration and stops the Chris Moyles show for a while.
Iceland shafted us last year too when their banks went tits up with all our dosh – We asked for cash and all we got was fucking ash!
Apparently the pope cried when he met some of the pedo priests sex abuse victims – Well they do say that tears are a paedophiles lubricant of choice.
Pope on a Rope
I admit I'm a junk food addict, but calling McDonalds a restaurant is like calling Scooby Doo a detective series. Everyone knows it's really a fantasy porn show.
Scooby Dooby Doo!
Scooby Don't
KFC bring out a bunless chicken burger. Sounds good, they've moved on from the early days of 'chicken in a basket'.
But hey, WTF's wrong with a bird in a basket?
Basket Case
Now and again I get problems with my ears – infections, wax and stuff. so, I go down the Doctors…
"Can you describe the symptoms?" says the doc.
"Yeh, no problem… Homer is a lazy yellow fat bastard and Marge is a skinny bird with big blue hair!"
Homer is a cunt
So, I'm trying to look after my health. I cut down the drinking a bit, but you know it was a good night out when you fart the next day and have to wipe your arse. Probably the crap I eat too though – Believe it or not there's a sign in McDonalds that says 'Sorry we don't accept £50 notes' –
Jesus, if I had a £50 note I'm fucked if I'd be spending it on that shite!
Going to mcdonalds for a salad? That's like going to a brothel for a hug.
Nothing quite says, 'I'm an ugly bastard with no personality' quite like having a Thai wife.
Although she did just say I have a big cock. Whoops, I forgot the punctuation, should read as…. She did just say, "I have a big cock".
They couldn't understand how to 'Give Head' correctly
My Dad once said, "Son, always try to make sure you have a bird on the end of your cock at every possibility"
Good advice, and I quite like coloured birds actually.
One cock or two? - It's a Cockatoo
Apple will be releasing a new gadget exclusively for women later this year…It's called the iRon
I'm not sexist, but Women should know their place and, always do their clothes shopping at male recommended shopping areas. The t-shirt shop below, for example.
T-Shirt - Looks like it might be a tight fit!
Top Skank Lady GaGa gets her kit off again, this time in an attempt to prove conclusively that 'she' doesn't have a dick – Ummm, not convinced.
This pic snatched from her banned video for 'Telephone', featuring Beyonce (for some reason) has actually had the all important juicy bits blurred out. So, not proof at all.
Lady GaGa's visual interpretation of Alexander Graham Bell's communication device, the Telephone.
Nice tits though , even if 'she' does one day turn out to be a bloke.
You can download the (semi) uncensored, Banned Lady GaGa and Beyonce Video here, but it's really not worth wanking over.
Although maybe she was, once…
Stefani Germanotta... Before she went GaGa
Mix up the letters in the words 'large breasts' and they become a perfect anagram of 'great braless'. Fascinating uh?
Great rack - Park your bike material
Baby blooper
On BBC news this week…. 'Baby born to a brain dead woman'
I'm not really sure why that's news. That shit happens every day on council estates all over the country.
But talking of mingers, you know you're a fat ugly bitch when you walk past a site and the builders shout, "Show us your personality!"
3 Headed girl seeks blind guy with 3 dicks
Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Katie Price (Jordan)… They and many other skanks boosted their careers by sucking and fucking on film. The celebrity 'stolen' sex tape has given a boost to dozens of talentless bimbo's…
And the latest to jump on this gravy train of sleaze? None other than Scotlands own, X-factor singing sensation, Susan Boyle!
See Subo in all her glory Tits Out and Sucking Cock – Not a pretty sight, but at least it stops her singing for a few minutes!
Subo - The seX-Factor
I got a txt message yesterday, obviously meant for someone else, it said:
'Hi, be home soon, love ya loads, Steve xxx'
Course, I had to have a bit of fun so I txt the guy back:
'Don't bother you ugly cunt, I don't love You and I've been fucking your brother'
I couldn't wait for the reply… more info
Then it came:
'You OK Mum?'
Txt Messages - Getting your priorities right
Your Mum's so fat, when she fell down the stairs I thought EastEnders was ending
Katie Price has gone too far this time
I tried my hand at a valentines day verse to try and charm the knickers off my gf….
'Roses are red, but there's also white, pink and yellow varieties too.
Violets aren't actually blue, they're fucking violet, hence the name!'

John Terry's wife admit's she has no grudges against him or celebrity bike Vanessa Perroncel over their affair. To prove it she's bought them both a toyota.
Meanwhile Ashley Cole was pulled over doing 98mph in a 30 zone.

Bullying? This coming from the smug twat who's reduced dozens of youngsters to tears with his needlessly cruel comments.
'Scowell' planned the X Factor final to finish a week before the Christmas charts so the winner can flood the music market and win the prized number one spot over the holiday period. Rage Against The Machine have, with the backing of (for once a sensible) Facebook campain, thrown a much deserved spanner in the Cowell works. Wicked:)
I've never paid for a single download in my life. Until this week. A week that's seen Cowell's sterile pop monopoly stopped in it's tracks. The race to the top of UK charts has become exciting again.

Wrapping Up Week One Of Romney-Ryan
Last week, Mitt Romney announced that he had selected Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. NPR's Ari Shapiro has been covering the pair for a week now, and he joins Weekend Edition Saturday host Scott Simon talks with him about the past week of campaigning for the new pair.
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Scott Simon. A venerable tradition in politics - the Friday night document dump. Last night, the Romney campaign released two years of tax documents for vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan. This comes at the end of Mr. Ryan's first week on the ticket. NPR's Ari Shapiro has been on the road with the Romney campaign and joins us now. Ari, thanks so much for being with us.
ARI SHAPIRO, BYLINE: Good morning, Scott.
SIMON: And what do Paul Ryan's tax returns show?
SHAPIRO: Well, last year, he and his wife Janet paid a rate of 20 percent - 15.9 percent the year before that. And that's compared to north of 20 percent for the Obamas, just south of 14 percent for the Romneys. Paul and Janet Ryan's combined income last year was $323,000 and some change. About half of that was from Paul Ryan's salary in Congress. Their investments are worth somewhere between around $2 and $8 million and lot of that comes from Mrs. Ryan, who was wealthy before the couple wed.
SIMON: Now, Mitt Romney, the presidential candidate, had, of course, hoped to be talking mostly about unemployment at this point but he still had to fend off a lot of questions about his own tax returns. What's the latest?
SHAPIRO: Right. Well, remember, that like Paul Ryan, Romney has promised to release no more than two years of tax documents, and this week there was new pressure once we learned that the vetting process for his vice presidential pick required releasing several years of tax returns to the Romney campaign. So, in a news conference in South Carolina this week Romney was asked about this. And he tried to put an end to speculation and rumors that he had paid little or no taxes in the last 10 years. Here's part of what he said.
MITT ROMNEY: I did go back and look at my taxes and over the past 10 years, I never paid less than 13 percent. I think the most recent years, 13.6 or something like that.
SHAPIRO: And, Scott, this is all tied into Democrats' efforts to keep the issue of taxes on the front burner. Remember, Romney is one of the wealthiest men ever to run for president, and the Obama campaign believes that by emphasizing the relatively low tax rate that he has paid, as well as the fact that he's releasing fewer years of tax returns that many presidential candidates have, the Obama campaign believes they will be able to portray Romney as an out-of-touch elitist with something to hide.
SIMON: Maybe we should explain again that 13.6 percent tax rate that Mr. Romney says he pays would be consistent with paying taxes on capital gains. He hasn't been a salaried employee, unlike Mr. Ryan or President Obama, for the past few years.
SHAPIRO: That's right. Because most of his income comes through investments, he pays a lower rate than many.
SIMON: Paul Ryan has been out on the stump all week. How are people responding?
SHAPIRO: Well, in person, people are really enthusiastic. We're seeing huge crowds, energetic audiences, cheers of the kind that we didn't always see for Romney on his own. But the reaction from the American people as a whole seems to be perhaps less enthusiastic. We got the first poll numbers on Monday, after last Saturday's announcement. They show that Ryan had the worst initial approval ratings of any vice presidential pick since Dan Quayle. That's worse than Sarah Palin or Dick Cheney. And then this week the Gallop poll showed that Romney did not seem to get much of a bounce at all in polls from choosing Paul Ryan. You know, there's still another chance coming up for Romney to get a pump from the Republican convention at the end of this month and then there are going to be those big debates. But the window is shrinking for Romney to really dramatically shift the dynamic of this race.
SIMON: Has Mr. Romney been changing his style on the stump, Ari?
SHAPIRO: Yes, and especially in the way he talks about President Obama. Let me play you two cuts here. This first one is from the primaries. It was a line that Romney used a lot on the stump. This is from back in April.
ROMNEY: I think he's a nice person; I just don't think we can afford him any longer.
SHAPIRO: And then this next cut is from just last Tuesday in Chillicothe, Ohio. Big difference here.
ROMNEY: He demonizes some, he panders to others. His campaign strategy is to smash America apart and then try to cobble together 51 percent of the pieces. If an American president wins that way, we would all lose. But he won't win that way.
SHAPIRO: Now, Scott, the Romney campaign truly believes that President Obama is responsible for dragging this race into the mud. The risk with this strategy is that Americans have been watching President Obama for years, have fixed opinions about him - and they are generally positive opinions. Generally speaking, it's harder for a challenger like Romney to redefine an incumbent president than it is for an incumbent to define a relative stranger like Romney, but that's exactly the strategy that the Romney campaign is banking on right now.
SIMON: NPR's Ari Shapiro on the campaign trail. Thanks so much.
SHAPIRO: Good to talk to you, Scott.

Associated Press
"President Bush, acknowledging the risk of recession, embraced about $145 billion worth of tax relief and other incentives Friday to give the economy a "shot in the arm. " Bush said such a growth package must also include tax incentives for business investment and quick tax relief for individuals. And he said that to be effective, an economic stimulus package would need to roughly represent 1 percent of the gross domestic product — the value of all U.S. goods and services and the best measure of the country's economic standing.
"There is a risk of a downturn," the president said in his remarks at the White House.
White House advisers say that in current terms, 1 percent would amount to around $145 billion, which is along the lines of what private economists say should be sufficient to help give the economy a short-term boost.
The president and Congress are scrambling to take action as fears mount that a severe housing slump and painful credit crisis could cause people to close their wallets and businesses to put a lid on hiring, throwing the nation into its first recession since 2001.
Bush said that Congress and the administration need to settle on a temporary economic package that could be implemented quickly to "keep our economy growing and create jobs."
"Letting Americans keep more of their money should increase consumer spending," he said.
Bush outlined several criteria for the package to meet: It must be "big enough to make a difference in an economy as large and dynamic as ours," it must be built on "broad-based tax relief," it must take effect right away but be temporary, and it must not include any tax increases.
Specifically, he called for tax incentives for businesses, including small companies, to make new and major investments this year. "Giving them an incentive to invest now will encourage business owners to expand their operations, create new jobs and inject new energy into our economy in the process," Bush said.Print Story

Igneous rocks were molten matter deep in the earth; they cooled and took shape as the mass was pushed to the surface. Igneous rocks include Granite, Gabbro, Basalt and Porphyry. The mineral composition is primarily Feldspar and Quartz plus other minerals such as Mica and Hornblende that contribute to the color of the stone. The grain structure can range from coarse to fine and is generally consistent throughout the stone, although some can show veining. A broad range of colors are available including reds, browns, blacks, whites, beiges, yellow, pinks, greys, blues and greens. Granites are hard, dense stones that can be highly polished, honed or finished in a variety of ways. They are generally suitable for exterior and interior applications.

Ellrich Spelling Variations
Ellrich Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Ellrich include Elrich, Elritch, Eldrich, Eldrick, Eldred, Eldrid, Eldridg, Eldredge, Eldridge and many more.

Migration of the Ellrich family to the New World and Oceana
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Ellrich or a variant listed above:

A new North American flying squirrel
Humboldt's flying squirrel is the third species of flying squirrel found in North America. The discovery means that three—not two—species of the furred gliders live in North America, and it changes our understanding of how these squirrels evolved and spread across the american continent. The newly described Humboldt's flying squirrel (Glaucomys oregonensis) is found in forested habitats along the Pacific coast of North America, from southern British Columbia to southern California.

In order answer questions like "What are X, anyway?", we can (phenomenologically) turn the question into something like "What can we do with X?" or "What consequences does X have?"
For example, consider the question "What are ordered pairs, anyway?". Sometimes you see "definitions" of ordered pairs in terms of set theory. Wikipedia says that the standard definition of ordered pairs is:
(a, b) := {{a}, {a, b}}
Many mathematicians find this "definition" unsatisfactory, and view it not as a definition, but an encoding or translation. The category-theoretic notion of a product might be more satisfactory. It pins down the properties that the ordered pair already had before the "definition" was proposed and in what sense ANY construction with those properties could be used. Lambda calculus has a couple constructions that look superficially quite different from the set-theory ones, but satisfy the category-theoretic requirements.
I guess this is a response at the meta level, recommending this sort of "phenomenological" lens as the way to resolve these sort of questions.

Anywho, after the marathon session this morning, things seem to be working smoothly at home with my equipment. I think I'll keep it.

text: Chinese Demand Crucial for Positive Returns in 2014 January 24, 2014 09:00 AM Tweet USDA's projection of 7 million metric tons is likely on the low side for Chinese buying. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email Echoing a chorus of recent outlooks, Rabobank sees continued weakness in grain and oilseed prices this year. "Plateauing biofuel demand, China's import appetite and commodity currency weakness will drive ag prices in 2014." On the positive side for producers, the bank is looking for most commodity prices to remain above breakeven levels—even if only barely—this year. "Most of the easing has already taken place, but we expect prices to continue to ease for most markets in 2014," Rabobank's 2014 Agri Commodity Markets Outlook states. The bank calls for corn futures prices to average $4.30/bu. in the first quarter 2014, $4.20 in the second quarter, $4.30 in the third, and a low of $4.10 in the fourth quarter (37 cents below December futures on January 24). Over the next three to five years, corn prices are likely to be slightly above breakeven for most producers, in the $4 to $5/bu. range, says Sterling Liddell, senior vice president, food and agribusiness research with Rabobank. Rabobank sees greater softening of soybean futures: $12.50 in the first quarter, $12/bu. in the second, $11.80 in the third and $10.70/bu. in the fourth quarter (35 cents below November futures on January 24). For wheat, the outlook calls for a tight range of prices for the year between $6.45/bu. in the first quarter and $6.40 for the following three quarters. "Wheat prices are likely to maintain a strong premium over corn during 2014," according to the report. Cotton prices are expected to be 73 cents per pound (fourth quarter) to a high of 77 cents for the year in the second quarter. Like corn and soybeans, cotton prices have declined from the fourth quarter of 2013, when they were 80 cents per pound. For corn, "the expected consequence of large U.S. on-farm storage volume is slow downward price erosion as stocks trickle out," Rabobank says. It sees demand headwinds, particularly from ethanol that will restrict use of the biofuel to 4.8 to 4.9 billion bushels, down from peak corn demand in 2011 of over 5 billion for ethanol. Corn stocks-to-use is forecast at 17.4%, the highest in three years at 1.8 billion bushels and a sharp turnaround in just one year. "Chinese buying is the demand wild card for 2014," Rabobank says. "USDA's projection of 7 million metric tons is likely on the low side for Chinese buying. Rabobank looks for demand between 7 and 10 MMT. "Low-cost corn will present the best opportunity seen in the past four years for China to build strategic reserves against potential future high prices." Market estimates place corn demand for rebuilding national stocks at nearly 30 MMT, which would effectively double the current estimate of Chinese national stocks. On the potentially bearish side, Rabobank says questions remain over China's action to block entry of the unapproved (in China) GMO variety MIR 162. If this signals a move to supply more demand internally and imports drop much below those forecast by USDA, corn prices could drop into the $3.70 to $3.80 range, Rabobank says. Soybean Prices Could Decline Sharply "Soybeans are poised for a substantial downward adjustment from current levels," Rabobank says. Large production from both the U.S. and South America would drive global stocks-to-use to 29% in 2013/14, "the main bearish factor for prices moving forward." However, China's demand will continue to be one of the main factors supporting soybean prices in 2014, Rabobank says. Domestic production has decreased 10% and stocks in China are running low, the report notes. As a result, Rabobank forecasts Chinese soybean imports to reach 69.5 million metric tons in 2013/14, 16% above last year's levels. Of particular importance to total grain and oilseed demand is the plateauing of biofuel demand, Rabobank says. This has allowed the global supplies to keep pace and even outstrip demand. For much of the past decade, the rapid growth in biofuel demand—at around 25% on an annualized basis—has played a significant role in the growing supply and demand imbalance in global grain and oilseed markets, Rabobank says. "However, the maturation of the global biofuel industry, together with some weaker political incentives, has seen grain and oilseed use for biofuels begin to plateau and even decline for some commodities." Rabobank does not expect any material change in the current situation for grain and oilseed markets. "If anything, lower mandates appear more likely than not." On the positive side, Rabobank sees the global economic recovery to gather pace during 2014. An improving U.S. economy is likely to lend some support to the U.S. dollar, but it will take time for the Federal Reserve Board to halt its quantitative easing program and even longer before it finally starts to tighten monetary policy settings. However, it may take a while before the U.S. dollar wins back significant ground versus other currencies, though Rabobank expects that a stronger dollar should become more evident during the second quarter of 2014. "The prospect of QR tapering in the U.S. poses a risk to emerging market and commodity currencies alike, with depreciation expected to drive producer selling opportunities across soft commodity markets, pressuring prices." One currency unlikely to strengthen is the Brazilian real, because Brazil's economy is suffering from slow growth and rising inflation. Back to news

Some councillors in Rocky View County are hoping the election results spark a new era of co-operation after years of lengthy debates over developments in the area.
- Medicine Hat, Nanton, Claresholm elect new mayors
- Development a big issue in Rocky View County election
Jerry Arshinoff, one of two new faces on council, says it has often been divided.
Unofficial Election Results
Division 1: Liz Breakey
Division 2: Jerry Arshinoff
Division 3: Margaret Bahcheli
Division 4: Rolly Ashdown
Division 5: Earl Solberg
Division 6: Greg Boehlke
Division 7: Lois Habberfield
Division 8: Al Sacuta
Division 9: Bruce Kendall
"There are five councillors primarily on the eastern half who have essentially bullied the western half by outvoting them five to four," he said.
He says those contentious votes related to development proposals, such as the Bingham Crossing shopping centre.
Two Rocky View districts — divisions 4 and 7 — came down to fewer than 40 votes for the incumbents. One of those areas has plans for a new mega-mall near Cross Iron Mills, which has prompted transit concerns.
Al Sacuta, who was re-elected Monday in Bearspaw, says close races for incumbents should send a clear message.
"I think its been obvious to people for some time that there's this five-four split or there's a major bifurcation in how the county runs. And I think people are trying to tell us we don't want it to be broken. We want you to figure out how to fix it."
He thinks the development issue is kind of the big elephant in the room.
"It really is, and it's not pro- or anti-development," said Sacuta. "It really isn't. It's what is the appropriate development in the right place that makes sure that it's viable and it's ecologically responsible and it's responsible to our taxpayers."
But Rolly Ashdown, who was reeve at the time and was re-elected in Division 4, says it's not quite that black and white.
"There's definitely an idea of different thoughts and different values and different things people look for, but I don't think its necessarily divided by east or west."
The new council should get a sense of just how well members will get along later this week when they get together for the first time post-election.

President's Pen: Your monthly payment includes more than the mortgage
Published 12:59 pm, Friday, June 10, 2011
How much mortgage can you afford? Keep in mind that your mortgage is only one part of your monthly expenses for a new house. Confused? Read on.
Paying everything by the month
There are usually four components that go into your monthly payment: principal, interest, taxes, and insurance—often referred to as PITI.
- Principal. Principal is the amount you originally borrow. Early in your mortgage's term, your payments will be applied mostly to the loan's interest. As the loan progresses, you'll pay off more principal.
- Interest. Interest is money the lender charges to take the risk on your loan. The interest rate on your loan has a direct correlation to the size of your payment. That is, a higher interest rate leads to higher monthly payments. For most homebuyers, higher interest rates reduce the amount of money they can borrow, and lower interest rates increase it.
- Taxes. Property taxes can account for a significant amount of your monthly payment. These taxes for local schools, city and county services, and other local entities are based on the tax rate for each of those taxing authorities and the appraised value of your property. Instead of a large tax bill coming due at the end of the year, many people pay their property tax as part of their monthly payment. The annual amount is divided by the total number of payments in a given year. The lender collects these payments and holds them until they are due, at which point, the lender uses the money to pay the bill.
- Insurance. There are two types of insurance coverage that may be included in your monthly payment. The first type, property insurance, protects your home and possessions from fire, theft and other events your policy outlines. The second type of insurance is private mortgage insurance (PMI). When a homebuyer does not put down at least 20% on the home, most lenders require PMI. PMI offers the lender some protection in the event the borrower is unable to repay the loan. PMI coverage can be dropped once you attain 20% equity in the home.
Taking responsibility for taxes and insurance
While these four components make up a typical monthly payment, some lenders allow homeowners to pay taxes and insurance on their own. In this scenario, you'll have a lower monthly payment, but you must make sure you have the money available to pay property taxes and insurance when those bills come due. This requires discipline.
Amortization breaks it out
An amortization schedule shows how much of your monthly loan payment is being applied toward interest costs and how much to reduce the outstanding balance of your loan. The amortization chart details the month-by-month progression of your mortgage payments from mostly covering interest to mostly covering principal. Many lenders allow you to pay extra each month to pay off principal early and pay less interest over the length of the mortgage.
Add it up
So, how much mortgage can you afford? Factor in the principal, interest, taxes, and insurance to get a true picture of the cost of a home. Your REALTOR® can be a great resource to help you understand these components plus other costs of homeownership.

Not Interesting at all and has no entertainment in it.
A well done, very thoughtful tribute on the day of the attacks. For less than a days work the animation and choice of music is very fitting and well done. The perspective of a women in one of the towers in a scary one to think about, but also a touching and well thought out perspective. A lot of people will argue it's not cowardly to fly jets into skyscrapers, it is completely cowardly to retaliate against a countries foreign policy by attempting to destroy not only a symbolic American building, but practically the heart of New York City itself. Very well done.
I realise this was made in less than a day, but it was very short and not much of a strong message was sent through the flash. What was shown here is basically what many of us already had in mind at the time, except maybe the perspective of someone watching the jet come towards the building.
Very short and not a very strong or important message behind it, but amazing work for less than a day and a truly scary yet touching perspective to think about. Thank you for this wonderfully touching tribute.
cowardly nop. terrorism? more like resisting invasion
A Good Tribute
I like this. And I agree. Look at the date this was uploaded; 9/11. This is why he made this.
a tribute
guys it was short but at least he had the heart to say something.

Bargain hunters are wise to pay careful attention to insider buying, because although there are many various reasons for an insider to sell a stock, presumably the only reason they would use their hard-earned dollars to make a purchase, is that they expect to make money. Today we look at two noteworthy recent insider buys.
On Tuesday, Vector Group Ltd (VGR)'s Executive VP, Richard Lampen, made a $885,250 buy of VGR, purchasing 50,000 shares at a cost of $17.70 each. Vector Group Ltd is trading up about 0.9% on the day Wednesday. This purchase marks the first one filed by Lampen in the past twelve months. In the past year, 1 other insider purchased VGR, buying $8.85M shares at a cost of $17.70 each.
And on Monday, President William C. Gautreaux purchased $468,600 worth of Inergy L.P. (NRGY), purchasing 20,000 shares at a cost of $23.43 a piece. In the past twelve months, 2 other insiders bought NRGY, in 3 transactions, for a total cost of $389,049 at an average of $24.62 per share. Inergy L.P. is trading off about 1.8% on the day Wednesday. So far Gautreaux is in the green, up about 2.4% on their purchase based on today's trading high of $24.00.

Haley left profound impact on entire community
Memorial celebration coming in September
Memories of Matt Haley have flowed across Sussex County this week after the local chef and philanthropist died Aug. 19 from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident in Ladakh, India.
Restaurant and shop marquees lifted Haley's name into the air as preparations were made for his celebration of life, scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 28, at 2 p.m. at the Freeman Stage at Bayside. The rain date is Monday, Sept. 29 at 11 a.m. The event is open to the public, and the Freeman Stage can accommodate more than 2,000 people.
"Matt touched so many lives that we felt it was only right to give as many people as possible the opportunity to pay tribute to him," said Scott Kammerer, president and COO of the Matt Haley Companies.
Organizers of the event were still firming up details mid-week, but featured speakers will include those who worked closely with Haley, both personally and professionally. His Global Delaware Fund, founded in 2011, is active locally and abroad, and many guests will represent the nonprofits that the fund and Haley supported.
"The service is a celebration," Kammerer said. "Matt would want people to remember him with laughter, kindness and joy."
There will be food and music. The food truck Big Thunder Roadside Kitchen — one of Haley last culinary projects — will be on hand. The sounds of Haley's favorite music genre, Motown, will hover on the air. Delaware filmmaker Rob Waters is expected to make a film montage.
Located off of Route 54, the Freeman Stage is at 31750 Lake View Drive in Selbyville. More information is available online at www.freemanstage.com.
Meanwhile, across the county and across the Internet, people shared Haley stories, from getting their first jobs to trying new foods with him.
He bounced all over the world, from cooking on Mexico City food trucks to managing Italian business ventures to helping Nepalese women learn and find jobs so they could avoid sex slavery.
Haley's humanitarian efforts garnered him the 2014 James Beard Foundation's Humanitarian of the Year Award, the National Restaurant Association Education's Foundation Cornerstone Humanitarian Award and the International Association of Culinary Professionals National Humanitarian Award — a culinary-humanitarian triple crown.
"I believe the greatest gift you can give another human being is the gift of example," Haley said in a James Beard Foundation profile video. "It's important for me not to tell somebody, but to show somebody how to live."
Haley also remarked that his 20s ended with him doing crack locked in a closet, and his 30s began with a SWAT team, rehabilitation and a culinary program that taught him his passion for the next 20 years.
"He kinda had a late start in life. Look at what he achieved!" said Sue Ryan, owner of Good Earth Market. "I swear he was just beginning. He was feeling his full power, and I think he was only at the beginning. I think that's a lesson from all of us — that we need to pick up and do our best."
Connecting the community
Haley was all about second chances, and he didn't waste a second.
When Good Earth opened, Haley immediately visited to suggest cooking demos. These got so popular, Ryan said, she feared the fire marshal would visit.
"What should we showcase? Let's promote what you're doing. Let's show people great food and how to prepare it," Ryan recalled him saying.
He suggested the market's first Farm-To-Table dinner, serving local, freshly cooked food on one giant outdoor table, which Ryan said was still a new concept at the time.
"He was on the cutting edge," said Ryan, always excited when he drove up with a new idea. "Plate Catering is still our chef partner for all our events on our farm and will continue to be. We will keep that relationship."
In "typical Matt style," the dinners have always benefitted local charities. Ryan said his spirit will still linger in the field at this September's event.
Those dinners weren't easy. Working with Haley could be stressful, but "you always work hard to do something great," Ryan said. "He was demanding, but because he had a vision … we grew to love that and admire that in him."
He also spoke up, praising what he liked or saying what he didn't.
'Go grab five watermelons'
When Haley had an idea, he didn't hesitate but made it happen.
"He didn't just talk about it. He executed!" Ryan said.
At one Farm-To-Table dinner, Ryan remembers him instructing her, "Sue, go grab five watermelons." She and her staff ran off and returned to watch him chop the melon with jalapeno and lime, for one of the best courses of the evening — a complete surprise.
When he saw a picture of Nepalese children at a fundraiser, he immediately pitched in to sponsor their education. After corresponding with them, he came to love the little girls who lived 7,000 miles away, and found true love when he visited the three girls who came to call him "Papa."
Haley's stories flow so easily because he shared so much of himself with others, giving time and encouragement. Whether it was his initial diagnosis or his recent "cancer-free" announcement, he shared and connected himself to the people around him.
"This world is so global. He was such a big person that he saw globally," Ryan said.
In Georgetown, the non-profit La Esperznza mourned the loss of its board president but refused to lose inspiration.
"His life and his great spirit has taught us that it is possible to rise above the most challenging circumstances, to discover and live out our gifts to the greatest degree, to live with deep commitment, joy and fearlessness and, above all, to love each other with enormous compassion," read La Esperanza's statement. "Such a huge loss for the state, for the country, for the world. A huge loss, because his life was such a great gift."
"He would do anything to help you. And that's really unique," Ryan said.
"Matt had tremendous business responsibility and obligations," said Zachary McCarthy at Tented Events DE, which got some of its first and continued business from Haley.
Besides succeeding in the whirlwind restaurant industry, Haley made time for individuals.
"He gave you all the time in the world," McCarthy said. "The biggest thing for me was: when we leave this earth, what legacy are you gonna leave? … It's the people you touch, you help out. … We all have obligations. … You should be out there helping.
"Everywhere he's gone, he's tried to lift people up," he added. "That's something we can all learn."

It's a Baby Shower! | Free Printable Roald Dahl Quote
by Jennifer Cooper, posted on March 19th, 2014 in Baby, printable
Spring brings with it many things: beautiful flowers, red breasted robins, massive allergies and this year, it's also bringing some serious baby madness.
Not one, but two of my lovely friends (Carla, who you know as our resident craftspert and Lacy from Living on Love) are having babies—cute, rolly polly, chubby, adorable babies and I couldn't be more excited for them. Sadly, they live far away, but that didn't deter their online friends. So we're throwing them a virtual baby shower.
My contribution to the shower is a gift for the nursery. I made a little print featuring a quote from one of my favorite children's book authors. It actually makes me tear up a bit when I read it. I'm such a sap.
I made one for Carla and one for Lacy, each in their nursery colors. I'm mailing off framed versions later this week. However, you can print one out today! Just click here. I recommend printing it on watercolor paper if you'd like to frame it. I'm thinking about turning it into a printable card later. So stay tuned.
Carla and Lacy, I wish you a very healthy labor and delivery, babies who sleep soundly for long stretches of time, and a flock of relatives who cheerfully cook and handle laundry while you nap.
Sending all my love and good wishes to you and your growing families.
Visit all of the links below for more baby shower goodness from mocktails to decor to the cutest little pants you ever did see. There's even a giveaway or two thrown in the mix too.
