Upcoming Talk
March 11, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
Next Monday morning I'm going to be in Portland (Oregon), and will be giving a talk at Galois on the CHP library. On the off-chance that there are any readers from that area: the talk is open to all, so feel free to come along. It will be an introduction to the library and some of its capabilities.
Update: the talk seemed to go well; here are the Galois talk slides (with notes). I've added various notes amongst the slides to help it be understandable without me gesturing at them. The chats afterwards with some of the Galois guys were very useful and interesting, and have given me a lot to think (and blog) about in CHP.

Communication Skills Advantage In Life
Living in the large community or large society of course you must learn to have great communication skills in order to mingle with them. Having such kind of skills of course will have you some kinds of benefits or advantages in life.
Here are some of the advantages that can be put into account:
- Gain more friends and colleagues
People are like to share and to be heard. So, when you have such kind of skills of course you are able to mingle with the society who faces lots of trouble in their everyday life, who have lots of problem they want to share, or need someone to ask for suggestion and something like that.
The more intense you communicate, the more chance to gain trust from people around you. Only then of course you will have more and more colleagues to share things from jobs, experience, or even life.
- Easy to deal with people
As it is mention before that in our daily life, we often face some kind of trouble with people around us. It can be something we do or something that people misunderstood of what we do or what we said. The only way to solve it is to have the great communication. Now, imagine if you do not have such kind of communication skills ? Of course, you would never be able to solve your problem.
These skills of course will help you with everything in order to deal with people. Because as we all know, communication is not only the verbal language but also non verbal. That means even if you do not understand their language still you can communicate with them by using the nonverbal language or signal.
- Get more understanding and respect from people
One people have a problem that they could not handle anymore by themselves, of course, they are going to find someone to share, to pour their emotion by the mean to find solution or to ease their mind. This means, they are going to communicate with someone else in order to be heard and to be understood.
If you happen to have this kind of communication skills that is listen to what they say, feel what they feel, and give them some kinds of suggestion or advice when they need it then, of course, many people would have you to communicate with. There, you will get more respect and also the understanding from people around you.

Whoa, talk about meta. The WSJ is reporting that the new Kindle, to be announced later today, will include an exclusive work from Stephen King that integrates a "Kindle-like device" within the story.
Apparently, the exclusive may be a limited time offer before the piece is available to everyone down the line. But how great would it be if, somehow, the non-Kindle-owning public got a different copy of the story that's missing the Kindle? Maybe an absurd doppelganger could go in the e-reader's place, like a banana or giant foam finger.
That'd show 'em, Jeff Bezos. That'd show 'em. [WSJ via Engadget]

Technical Paper
World Fuels and Modern Fuel Systems - A Path to Coexistence
All around the world, steps are being taken to improve the quality of our environment. Prominent among these are the definition, implementation, and attainment of increasingly stringent emissions regulations for all types of engines, including off-highway diesels. These rigorous regulations have driven use of technologies like after-treatment, advanced air systems, and advanced fuel systems. Fuel dispensed off-highway is routinely and significantly dirtier than fuel from on-highway outlets. Furthermore, fuels used in developing countries can be up to 30 times dirtier than the average fuels in North America. Poor fuel cleanliness, coupled with the higher pressures and performance demands of modern fuel systems, create life challenges greater than encountered with cleaner fuels. This can result in costly disruption of operations, loss of productivity, and customer dissatisfaction in the off-highway market.

Telouet Kasbah intricate zelij mosaic work, High Atlas Mountains, Morocco
Telouet Kasbah intricate zelij mosaic work, High Atlas Mountains, Morocco, 2013-10-10.
The Telouet Kasbah stands on the old caravan route towards the Sahara, between Ait Ben Haddou and Marrakesh.
Legend has it, Thami El Glaoui commissioned 300 skilled craftsmen, who worked for 3 years to decorate the ceilings and walls. The craftsmen used "stucco" finely chopped and "Zellij" as colouring for the walls. Cedar was used for the ceiling and they tiled the roofs with green painted ceramic. The result of the hard craftsmanship is a mesmerizing building, whose interior at one time would have boasted significant wealth and prosperity. Much of the older sections of the Kasbah are in complete ruins, and many visitors find themselves lost as they walk through the crumbling passageways and ruins whilst exploring the dilapidated parts.

Isis Pharmaceuticals Gets Multimillion-Dollar Milestone Payment
Tuesday, June 10, 2014
Isis Pharmaceuticals Inc. has received a $15 million milestone payment from AstraZeneca PLC as a result of its prostate cancer drug entering phase 1 clinical trials. The news sent Isis (Nasdaq: ISIS) stock up 10 percent to close June 10 at $34.17 per share.
The company has received a steady trickle of milestone payments from various big pharma partner companies, including $3 million from GlaxoSmithKline PLC (NYSE: GSK) last month. To date, Isis has received more than $400 million from the sales and licensing of its intellectual property. It received $100 million up front from Massachusetts pharma giant Biogen Idec Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB) last fall to develop drugs for neurological disorders.
Isis' proprietary antisense technology changes the way genes function, silencing mutations or activating genes to compensate for an underlying genetic defect. The company has developed a massive patent portfolio since it was formed in 1989, and is one of the key stakeholders in the RNA therapies space.

Fiber optic sensors have gained increasing importance in recent years and are well established in many areas of industrial applications. In this paper, we introduce a concept of a self-diagnostic fiber optic sensor. The presented sensor is to resolve the problems of embedded fiber optic sensors in complex structures and to enable the validation under operational conditions. For this purpose, different magnetostrictive coated fiber optic sensors were developed and various experiments were performed to verify their mode of operation and to determine the respective reproducibility. The measuring principle is illustrated by obtained experimental results, which showed a change in wavelength from 1 pm at a magnetic field strength change of 0.25 mT. In addition, the temperature characteristics of the implemented magnetostrictive sensor were analyzed and an experimental factor of 1.5 compared to a reference fiber optic sensor was determined.

We've known for a while now that "Paul" was coming, and we've known what it was about. But now that there's a trailer here, we're having a hard time wrapping our heads around it.
The film stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as a couple of comic book dorks traveling the U.S. in a Winnebago who come across an alien named Paul who begs them for help. Those two, who also co-wrote the film, have been leveraging the geek-chic thing to great effect as long as anybody, going back the their days on the brilliant BBC sitcom "Spaced."
What's got us scratching our heads is Greg Mottola behind the camera. After making his directorial debut with the hilarious and thoughtful "Daytrippers" (which features an incredible turn by Liev Schreiber), he kinda disappeared for a decade, occasionally directing TV. Then he came out of nowhere with instant-classic "Superbad" and followed that up with "Adventureland." So Mottola went adult drama>>>coming-of-age teen cmedy>>>slightly more serious coming-of-age teen comedy>>>sci-fi geek out. How he got involved in "Paul" is mystery to us.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The cast for "Paul" is loaded, with Seth Rogen as he voice of Paul, Jason Bateman as the Man in Black looking for him, Jane Lynch, Blythe Danner, Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Jeffrey Tambor and David Koechner.
The scene where they first encounter Paul on a dark road in the middle of the New Mexico night reminded more than a little of the teaser for "Super 8" that came out this summer, thought we're pretty sure the similarity is just coincidence.
"Paul" arrives on Earth March 18, 2011.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (April 1, 2009) – USA Volleyball has announced that Long Beach State Men's Head Coach Alan Knipe will be the new U.S. Men's National Team head coach for the 2009-2012 Olympic quadrennial.
Knipe, 40, will take a leave of absence from Long Beach State, where he has been the head coach for the past nine years. Two of Knipe's former players – David Lee and Scott Touzinsky – were members of the U.S. Men's Olympic Volleyball Team that won the gold medal in 2008 in Beijing. Knipe was an assistant coach when U.S. Team Captain Tom Hoff played at Long Beach State.
"Anyone who gets involved with volleyball sets their sights on being involved with the Olympic team," Knipe said. "I don't think that changes from your playing days to your coaching days.
"I would not have been able to take this position if I did not work at Long Beach State. They were great to work with in making this happen and giving me a leave of absence."
Knipe takes over for Hugh McCutcheon, who guided the U.S. Men's Team to victories at the 2008 FIVB World League and the Beijing Olympics. McCutcheon took over the U.S. Women's Team in January.
"I am very excited to have Alan join the USA Volleyball staff and lead our men's team toward London in 2012. This is a very big hire," USA Volleyball CEO Doug Beal said. "His experience and success with USAV's national and high performance programs have been outstanding. I look for him to continue the momentum the U.S. men built in 2008."
"I think Alan will do a great job continuing the success of the men's program," McCutcheon said. "He's an excellent coach with a lot of collegiate experience that will allow a seamless and successful transition into the international arena."
Knipe said the support he has received from former U.S. men's team coaches was a big reason he took the position.
"The U.S. Men's National Team has an amazing fraternity of former coaches that have always been willing to help the current staff. I've spoken to a number of the former coaches and the guys who have been involved in previous years," Knipe said. "They have offered their support during the transition and throughout the quad. I feel fortunate to have so many valuable resources willing to help continue the wonderful tradition that has been cultivated over many years."
Knipe's first competition with the U.S. Men will be the Pan American Cup on June 1-7 in Colima, Mexico. The team will begin FIVB World League play on June 13-14 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
Knipe has a long relationship with USA Volleyball. Most recently, he served as the head coach for the U.S. Men's National Team at the 2008 Pan America Cup in Winnipeg, Canada, where it won a gold medal.
He was the head coach for the U.S. Men's Team that won a bronze medal at the 2007 World University Games in Thailand.
"I am very excited about the opportunity to work with these great athletes. There is a very good and successful group coming back from the Olympics," Knipe said. "A lot of these guys have a lot of great volleyball left in them. Plus, I worked with many of the younger players during the past two summers and they are a nice group."
Knipe has run the Southern California tryouts for USA Volleyball's high performance department since 1999. He was an assistant coach for the U.S. Boys' Youth National Team in 1999 and has helped at high performance camps in other years.
Knipe also played on the U.S. National Team in 1992-93 and competed at World League.
Knipe is in his 17th year with the 49ers men's volleyball program, including three years as a player (1990-92) and five years as an assistant (1996-2000). Long Beach State is ranked seventh in the most recent Bison/AVCA Division I-II Men's Coaches Top 15 Poll
In his nine seasons as the head coach of the Long Beach State, Knipe has led the 49ers to one NCAA final (2004) and one semifinal appearance (2008) along with six other postseason appearances in nine years. He earned 2008 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) Coach of the Year honors and was also named 2008 Volleyball Magazine Coach of the Year as Long Beach State advanced to the NCAA semifinals behind AVCA co-Player of the Year Paul Lotman.
Knipe was named the 2004 AVCA National Coach of the Year when he guided his squad to an appearance in the NCAA Championship match, where it fell to BYU.
In the 1994 and 1995 seasons, Knipe served as the head men's volleyball coach at Golden West College. In his second season, the Rustlers won the California State JC title and Knipe was named California State Coach of the Year.
Knipe played at Long Beach State from 1990-92, winning the NCAA Championship in 1991 and being named All-America in 1992. Knipe graduated from Long Beach State in 1992 with a degree in communications.
Knipe played on the Bud Light 4-Man Pro Beach Volleyball Tour and has won seven USA Volleyball National Open Championships with Team Paul Mitchell.
In 1995, Knipe played for Spoleto in the Italian Pro League and in 1996 he played for the Zellik Club in Belgium.
A graduate of Huntington Beach's Marina High School in 1987, Knipe spent one year at Orange Coast College before transferring to Long Beach State.
Knipe lives in Huntington Beach, Calif., with his wife, Jennifer, and their two sons, Aidan and Evan. The U.S. Men's Volleyball Team trains at the American Sports Centers in Anaheim, Calif.

In the history of the decadeslong search to find successful prevention interventions that people will use and that will work to prevent the transmission of HIV, there have been two great successes.
In the history of the decadeslong search to find successful prevention interventions that people will use and that will work to prevent the transmission of HIV, there have been two great successes.
One is the near elimination of transmission of HIV from an HIV-positive mother to her child during pregnancy and childbirth by the use of anti-HIV medications. At one time, HIV-positive mothers transmitted HIV to their children 15-20 percent of the time. Transmission has now been reduced to well below 1 percent in the United States.
The other great success has been harm reduction/needle exchange programs. Such programs have reduced the rate of HIV infection in injectable drug users from 54 percent to 13 percent in New York state, resulting in the saving of thousands of lives and many millions of dollars in treatment costs.
The data is overwhelming, from all across the country, and from all across the world, that these programs work. Study after study documents all the ways they are successful:
1) They bring hard-to-reach individuals into health care; 2) They bring long-term addicts into drug treatment; 3) They result in major reductions of HIV, hepatitis C, and other bloodborne illnesses; 4) They protect the non-drug using sexual partners of users from infections with these illnesses.
5) They cost pennies and save millions of dollars that would otherwise be spent on treating these illnesses; 6) They take used syringes off the streets; 7) They have been shown to serve only local users, not attract people from afar; and 8) They do not increase crime rates.
As stated above, it is one of the most effective public health interventions ever implemented to combat HIV.
Locally, it should be noted that Dr. Jean Hudson, Orange County health commissioner; Darcie Miller, Orange County mental health commissioner; Dr. Michael Caldwell, Dutchess County health commissioner; Dr. Sherlita Amler, Westchester County health commissioner; the Westchester County Board of Health; Dutchess County Sheriff Adrian "Butch" Anderson; the county executives of Dutchess, Orange and Westchester counties; and, at the state level, Dr. Nirav Shah, New York health commissioner, all strongly support harm reduction/syringe exchange.
This list could go on and on with many other local, state and national leaders. They know the data, they are committed to saving lives of people in need, and they are aware that such programs are vital public health interventions with proven efficacy.
All thinking and compassionate individuals and the communities they represent would be well-served to inform themselves of the empirical evidence and data, and to listen to what the experts across the country have said.
We should recognize the expertise of public health professionals and make rational, evidence-based decisions regarding programs and public policy. Lives depend on it. We are not helpless; we have something that we can do that is proven to save the lives of our friends, our neighbors, and our family members. How in good conscience can we withhold it?
Jeffrey Kraus is executive director of Hudson Valley Community Services Inc.

You need to continuously develop and upgrade your products and services to meet their needs. You must keep your staff happy, motivated, and properly trained so they love going to work and serving your customers each day. Equip them with the right skills so they can deliver the best results in their respective positions. But how do you do that?
Training Is Key
Everyone needs training – whether they're just starting out or they're already on the job. Even experts require trainings at any given time. However, not everyone is keen on undergoing trainings. What if I told you that trainings don't have to be boring and tedious? In fact, using the right tools, trainings can be fun and entertaining, as well as informative and educational.
By making trainings relevant and unique, you instill this desire for learning. Plus, your staff will appreciate the extra effort, which will hopefully motivate them to deliver the best customer service. People tend to remember trainings that are unconventional and out-of-the-box. You don't have to spend a fortune or too much time on your trainings; you just have to make them enjoyable and unforgettable.
Here Are Three Simple Ways to Make Your Trainings Fun and Interesting:
1. Offer Rewards – Nothing feels better than being rewarded for a job well done. Giving your staff gifts and recognition during trainings builds loyalty and reinforces the belief that you appreciate your staff from the get-go. Your rewards don't have to be extravagant – just sincere and from the heart. They will remember your kindness and learn to love your company, as well as their jobs.
2. Maximize BYOD – In this day and age of mobile technology, almost everybody owns a smartphone or tablet. You must take advantage of this Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon because it's a great way to get people's attention. Incorporate mobile devices into your trainings and give your staff reasons to actively participate using fun exercises. Get your staff involved. Share your company's mission and vision, your products and services, and other company data using paperless forms that they can access on their mobile devices.
3. Go Paperless – Using paperless checklists and guidelines, get your new (and old!) staff interested in your processes and workflows. Introducing them to paperlesstechnology will encourage them to become familiar with it so they are best equipped when the training ends and the actual work begins. Formitize can help you bridge the gap using mobile forms that your employees can access during or after the trainings so they can familiarize themselves with your company.
It's easy to take trainings for granted. However, it pays to be creative because lessons learned the fun way during trainings are easier to remember and will help your staff deliver excellent customer service in the long run. You will see and reap amazing results when you invest in your staff's trainings.
Amp up your trainings with Formitize. Your staff with thank you and your customers will love you for it! Ready to make that first big step? Start your Free 30-day Trial Today!

Regions of BC
British Columbia lies in a Northwest-Southeast orientation along the Pacific Coast of North America. The province is vast - 1,300 km long, (north-south) and 700 km wide (east-west), and is nearly four times the size of Great Britain. There are numerous mountain ranges, including the Coast Mountains, which include the highest peaks in Canada and stretch uninterrupted from Vancouver north to the Alaska border; and the famous Rockies that extend up the eastern border of the province. Dotted throughout these glacial peaks are alpine lakes, their waters such vivid hues of vermilion and turquoise they appear surreal. Hundreds of inlets and fjords pierce the coastal mountains, creating cruising waters unlike any others.
The interior of the province offers lush and fertile valleys that produce
some of the tastiest fruits and vegetables in North America. This includes
numerous vineyards and wineries currently producing award-winning wines. Many
large lakes and rivers provide excellent facilities for summer water sports.
High plateaux and rolling ranchland are common features, and British Columbia
even has its own pocket desert complete with cacti, rattlesnakes and dunes!
Runoff from the thousands of mountains and glaciers create hundreds of rivers
that can meander lazily across the plateaux or rage in violent cataracts through
canyons and chasms.
Off the Southwest coast of the mainland is 400 km-long Vancouver Island, the
largest island on the coast of the Americas, while further north lies the
mysterious archipelago of the Queen Charlotte Islands, shrouded in mist and rich
with the legends and heritage of the Haida.
Interspersed throughout this varied landscape lie the cities and communities
of British Columbia: busy yet beautiful cities, quiet and rural municipalities,
industrious resource-based towns and charming villages tucked away in a
picturesque corners of the province.
The Regions of British Columbia
The B.C. Rockies welcome literally millions of visitors every year, yet when one arrives here it is strangely peaceful and uncrowded. Four mountain ranges stretch across the region: the Rocky Mountains and the Purcells in the east, and the Selkirks and Monashees in the west.
Where else in the world could you ski, play a round of golf, horseback ride, tour a historic site and visit a winery all in one day?
Canada's Islands on the Pacific are a wonderful place to get away from it all. Close to Vancouver, British Columbia and Seattle, Washington, they offer all the pleasures of an island retreat mixed with the hustle of a provincial capital and the bustle of busy fishing, mining and logging towns.
The Gulf Islands
Self-proclaimed artist havens, the Gulf Islands off the east coast of Vancouver Island host small communities that welcome travellers with open arms and warm smiles. Open markets and inviting studios display the wares of the Island's creative residents. Bring home hand-dipped candles, sparkling stained glass, or Island-made goat cheese. Relax and enjoy the Gulf Islands and their tranquil and serene atmosphere.
This vibrant southwest corner of British Columbia, is renowned as one of the most naturally scenic locales in the world. The snowcapped Coast
Mountains are spectacular; the harbour views captivating; and the forested
valleys and lush farmlands unspoiled and picturesque. Yet the province's
southwest corner is more than just a pretty face.
Cariboo Country is located in central British Columbia, bordered on the east by the Cariboo Mountain Range and on the west by the Pacific Ocean, the region covers approximately 12,600,000 hectares (over 31 million acres).
Northern British Columbia stretches from awesome Mt. Robson and the plains of Alberta in the east, across the Rocky Mountain Foothills to the Coast Mountain range in the west. In the area's rivers and streams lie record-sized salmon and steelhead.
The Major Centers
To the world, Vancouver is a modern Pacific Rim city with exceptional hotels, fine dining, and the best in international music, theatre, and dance. But we also know and love it as a rugged frontier town, with a forest in the city and wilderness on its outskirts.
Today Victoria is best known as the capital of British Columbia and as a world-renowned tourism destination (and rated by readers of Conde Nast as the friendliest city in Canada.) One of the most visitor-friendly cities anywhere - Victoria with its high quality of life and gentle climate - is also one of Canada's favourite places to call home.
The four-season resort town of Whistler is famous world-wide for the quality of the skiing and golf, comfort of the lodgings and scenery.

Man involved in massive Shorewood standoff faces new new charges
A man who was the focus of a massive police standoff in Shorewood faces new charges.
"My boyfriend got me hostage. Apartment 302," a 911 caller said.
The 911 call from the live-in girlfriend of Marquis Chapman drew police to the apartment on Oakland Avenue last month, but WISN 12 News has learned police already had their eye on him.
A search warrant and criminal complaint reveal they'd used an informant to buy drugs from Chapman just days before the standoff.
Chapman didn't appear to know they were on to him, telling WISN 12 News afterward the response was absurd.
"Me and my girl go to sleep. We wake up four hours later, there's tanks, 10 officers, Swat team. They were acting like I was a terrorist out here," Chapman said June 24.
Shorewood police didn't say so at the time, but WISN 12 News has learned they believed Chapman was dealing heroin and was probably armed.
"We don't know what was inside. We don't know if he had a weapon inside, and for us to try and enter without the proper equipment, is not something I want my officers to do," Shorewood Police Chief David Banaszynski said July 12.
The warrant details two more police stings in the last few weeks with Chapman selling heroin.
Police said they found cocaine, heroin and prescription drugs in the apartment Thursday, when they arrested Chapman and his girlfriend, Sharon Allen, who is charged with possession.
Chapman, who also faces domestic violence charges related to an incident in February, could face 60 years in prison if convicted. He and Allen remain jailed awaiting a hearing next week.

A dialogue with the Environmental Protection Agency29 April, 2009 | (01 hr)
Sign In to access this Webcast
Government regulation of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) in the U.S. is on its way. Last month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released its proposed GHG Reporting Rule, which would require manufacturers, utilities, fuel suppliers and vehicle manufacturers to report their total annual GHG emissions starting in 2010.The rule covers up to 90% of GHG emissions sources in the U.S. In addition, the data generated by the rule will instruct a variety of new climate change policies under federal consideration, including cap and trade, regulation of GHG emissions under the Clean Air Act and carbon fees. Given the significance of this policy shift for all business, The Conference Board is presenting a webcast dialogue with the EPA to discuss specific aspects of the rule, and its implications for business including how the data can be used.
This webcast will discuss:
- Whether companies currently doing reporting under a voluntary reporting scheme (e.g. Carbon Disclosure Project) need to change how they collect data
- How the rule addresses facility vs. company level reporting
- Coordination between filing to the EPA and the SEC, especially to satisfy investor interest in GHG emissions data
- How the data can help a company subject to a shareholder resolution on climate change or litigation
- How to comment on the rule

A faulty definition update from Symantec left vicars in a quandary after it identified a popular ecclesiastical application as spyware.
An 8 July update to Norton Anti-Virus identified a key component of Visual Liturgy - a component called vlutils.dll - as a piece of malware called SniferSpy. Visual Liturgy is a legitimate application used by Church of England vicars to plan and deliver church services.
Symantec said a subsequent update to Norton Anti-Virus fixed the SNAFU.
However, Church House Publishing, the publishers of Visual Liturgy, said they have received no such assurances. Church House has advised users to ignore warnings from Norton Anti-Virus over the file, a situation it acknowledges is undesirable.
The issue triggered a storm of emails and phone calls to Church House from clergymen concerned that its software had exposed them to malware infestation or else, if their systems were set to automatically remove suspicious files, with non-functioning liturgical software. Church House has published an advisory explaining how to download and install potentially deleted components of its software.
Church House expressed disappointment with Symantec's "tardy" response to the issue. Symantec disputes this and says an update issued on 11 July corrects the misdiagnosis, ZDNet reports. ®

Being confined to a cubicle day in and day out is driving me to find new ways to taste freedom. I'm starting to get this urge to (re)discover all those things I never did when I was younger.

COVID 19 UPDATE: We are pleased to announce that all 15 PMT Stores across the UK are Covid Secure and are now open. MORE INFO.
Epiphone guitars are perhaps most associated with its big brother Gibson, offering affordable Epiphone Les Pauls, SGs and Dots. Both brands are famous while Epiphone has a long and storied history all its own.
Starting life in the early 20th century, Epiphone began by manufacturing acoustic guitars and other traditional instruments such as banjos. Gaining lasting recognition many of those models remain in the catalogue to this day. With such a long history of designing and making guitars, Epiphone has managed to become a big name that almost everybody will have heard their name before. Being one of Americas oldest instrument makers certainly has its advantages, it gave Epiphone time to perfect their craft and produce some of the absolute gems we see in music shops today. Epiphone and Gibson had a fierce rivalry throughout the early 20th century, guitars such as the Triumph, Emperor Regent and the Broadway semi-acoustic were produced during this period and went down as music instrument legends.
After being acquired by Gibson just after World War 2 many guitarists turned to Epiphone for their first instrument, such as the famous Paul McCartney. Being bought out by Gibson was possibly the best thing to happen to Epiphone as it laid down the groundwork for what Epiphone would become today, a brand that produces the iconic Gibson style of guitars at affordable prices. To this day they're used by the likes of Gary Clark, Jr., Alabama Shakes, Johnny Winter, Zakk Wylde, Machine Head and The Strokes.
Even though Epiphone has brought us some great Gibson designs such as the Epiphone Les Paul and Epiphone SG series, we can't deny Epiphones golden years where their guitars embodied the spirit of creative innovation. With a presence in nearly every single musical scene (jazz era, swing era, post-war pop era, light rock to heavy metal and grunge etc), Epiphone has shown they were already the masters of instrument crafting before Gibson took over. From the golden oldies such as the Epiphone Casino, Wildkat Royal and Masterbilt acoustic series, to the more modern Les Paul traditional shapes and SGs, Epiphone has made generations of guitars bringing joy to musician's all over the world.
From your first guitar to high-end Signature models from Joe Bonamassa. Epiphone makes great guitars for working musicians on any kind of budget. It's all about finding that special Epiphone that is just right for you. Epiphone has a number of classic Les Paul styles including SG, Casino, Explorer, Thunderbird, ES and the traditional Les Paul as well as some custom shops. On the acoustic side, we have the usual Dreadnought and Jumbo styles, as well as some semi-acoustics and concert models. Just come into a PMT store and ask one of our staff to see the Epiphone lineups, the perfect Epiphone is surely waiting for you.
Whether you're a budding musician who's just about to pick up their first guitar, a part-timer who plays in a local band, or a professional recording their first CD, Epiphone has an instrument for all types of players. Want a budget traditional Les Paul style? The Epiphone Les Paul series doesn't compromise on quality and design despite its budget price. Want to sound like world famous guitar shredder Slash? The Epiphone AFD Les Paul Slash Edition comes with an Epiphone amp that gives you the sound to emulate the great man himself, at a fantastic price. Fancy something a bit more classical? The Epiphone Dot ES-335 Semi Acoustic gives you the chance to rock out like the Beatles did with the same style guitar in the 20th century. And finally, want to own a Black Beauty at an affordable price? The Epiphone Black Beauty Les Paul is the pinnacle of Epiphone design and technology, offering you the best sound quality for rocking out.
Epiphone's pristine guitar manufacturing means regardless of your budget, musical ability or learning style, Epiphone has something for everyone.

July 31, 2019. Caraga State University, through the initiative of the Office of the Vice...
The faculty in the Department of Environmental Science joined the 2nd Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary Summit last November 21, 2018 held at Ernielita's Events Venue in Patin-ay, Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur. The events' theme centers on sustaining biodiversity through ecotourism and extension programs in which key personnel from the Provincial Tourism Office of Agusan del Sur provided the situation and opportunities of ecotourism inside the marsh.
The marsh which is considered as a wetland is located at the heart of Mindanao, habitat to many indigenous species, a haven for migratory birds during winter season in the Northern Hemisphere, and home to Manobo indigenous people.
During the summit, the Protected Area Management Board of Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary conducted their enbanc meeting. In the meeting, Ms. Julie Rose Apdohan, Ms. Meycel Amarille, and Ms. Chime Mora-Garcia presented the final output of their studies which are Carrying capacity assessment in the floating village of Sitio Panlabuhan, Loreto, Agusan del sur; Resource valuation for Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary: Direct services; and Payment for ecosystem services for the conservation for Agusan Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary respectively. The summit also calls for the commitment of the participants to continue to protect and conserve the marsh which has a very important environmental and economic role.

With that said, I thought I'd share a quick little list of things that I'm currently loving!
1. This video. It's absolutely a must-watch. I personally don't mind getting older one bit, and I found this clip to be incredibly inspiring.
2. The My New Roots blog. This is my most favorite blog right now. I highly recommend it to you if you're into whole living, healthy food, or just want a burst of inspiration.
Phoster app, which my friend Sarah reminded me of it this morning. I've recently utilized it to make little cards and notes to send to Hank, but after Sarah used it on Instagram today I thought that it might be fun to use in your blog or make your photos even prettier. It's really amazing and what I used to make that pink poster right there. It's $1.99 but definitely worth it.
Some other apps I'm loving lately:
-the Joann and Michael's apps for coupons. I wish all stores offered this.
-Postalpix. You can order photos straight from your phone, and they print in all sizes, including square pictures for Instagram photos. This app is quick and super easy to use. I highly recommend it!
4. The Wonder Years on Netflix. I feel like my prayers have been answered with this one. The Wonder Years is one of my all-time favorite television shows from way back when and I've been absolutely loving being able to watch any of the 114 episodes on Instant Play (there's actually 115 episodes but Netflix doesn't stream the clips episode). Another show I've just recently gotten into- Breaking Bad. I watched the first episode while running on the treadmill the other night and I'm hooked.
5. The extreme organizing that has been going on in our house! Hank and I are both neat freaks (he's always been, and I've made my way to becoming one over the past few years), and lately I have been on an organizing kick. My Shop My Closet was a big part of that, and this past go 'round I managed to really whittle my closet down to the essentials. I still have a few items left, as well as some new additions, so head over and check it out! I moved all of the available items to the first few pages, and feel free to use code "sometimessweet" for 10% anything.
Well I'm off to do a little birthday party crafting before Henry wakes up! His party is on Saturday and I'm so excited to have (almost) all of our friends and family in one place.
And if you have a moment, how about you? Is there anything in particular you're really loving right now?
Happy Tuesday! xoxo

The winner of the Developers' Challenge at #RootsTech 2014 was Saving Memories Forever. Quoting from the website:
Saving Memories Forever is a system that consists of an app and a website. The app provides great mobility for interviewing and easy uploading to a secure and private storage on the website. The app also gives you the opportunity to announce your newly recorded story thru Facebook. Listen to your recorded and uploaded stories on the website.Also use the website to share and "manage" your stories.
The features of the system are determined by the level of membership. Saving Memories Forever is available as a Free Membership or as a Premium Subscription.I have been familiar with the program for sometime and have had several opportunities to talk to the developers over the past couple of years. I am an advocate of preserving oral history. When I was a lot younger and my parents were alive, I tried unsuccessfully to get them to record their life stories. Finally, as an attorney, I had access to Court Reporters, so one day I ordered up a deposition and had both my mother and father come in, separately, and I asked them questions about their lives and had the Court Reporter record the entire interview. I then had the transcript printed and now have copies of their life stories. I think that working with a program such as Saving Memories Forever would have been a lot easier on all of us and less expensive than paying a Court Reporter.
I will have more to say about this program in the near future. I am finally getting caught up from #RootsTech 2014 and will be back to normal shortly (whatever normal is).

First Sunday
"My dear friends, I'm not writing anything new here. This is the oldest commandment in the book, and you've known it from day one. It's always been implicit in the Message you've heard. On the other hand, perhaps it is new, freshly minted as it is in both Christ and you—
the darkness on its way out
and the True Light already blazing!"

Pete's Pearls of Wisdom Russia:
– The Russians claim that vodka produced in the mountainous region of Altai, Siberia is so pure that it will never give you a hangover. It's had me in bed for two days at a time crying for my mother on multiple occasions.
– The cleanest your three t-shirts will ever look on a round the world motorcycle trip is under the UV light of a dance-floor. Upon arrival in a new city in which you believe you may stand half a chance of chatting up the local girls, immediately aim for the nearest evening hot-spot before anyone has a chance to see various carcasses of mosquitoes and other flying insects killed at high-speed during your most recent tough miles. It's crucial to remember you're a very dirty biker and have nothing on the Hugo Boss shirts and leather loafers of your Russian competitors.
– The biggest tune here in Siberia is a cheesy house mix of Tom Jones' Sex Bomb. Seriously. It's what you will be working with so keep your chin high, think of England and go and get yourself in the mixer.
– Russian roads inevitably endure some extreme winters but if some of those pot holes were created by anything other than a meteorite shower I will eat my hat. Never feel like you are getting to grips with the terrain. Always be ready for the next 50 meters to present holes the size of a Suzuki DRz plus it's rider.
– The Trans-Siberian Highway is longer and straighter than you can ever comprehend before riding it. Don't expect any thanks from your 400cc dirt bike but gently remind yourself and the bike that if all goes to plan, it's a matter of days before you will be donning the dirt tyres and entering the wild.
Well… things didn't quite go to plan. Here is a brief overview of the latest situation:
We arrived in Novosibersk after 6 relentless days on the Trans-Siberian Highway. I think Jon's previous update captured the first nights stay well and the other 5 evenings followed in similar suit involving copious amounts of vodka and bluury mornings. One night was even spent pitching up next to what we, at time, believed to be a disused sand quarry in an attempt to get out of sight of the road. Little did we know that the diggers would be in at first light the following morning. Jon still had his best effort at a Siberian beard at the time so I can only presume when they saw him that morning they thought he was a previously undiscovered Siberian wild beast.
Back in Slovakia rightly or wrongly, in fact, definitely wrongly, in an attempt to de-bulk we attached numerous spares and tools directly to the bikes so we wouldn't need to carry them in and out of hostels every morning. The 12v pump was waterproofed in a sealed bag and strapped to the underside of my rear mud guard. It felt solid and we were confident it wouldn't go anywhere. Our guess is that the repeated stress from the multiple pot holes was too much for the straps holding it in position and it broke loose and lodged itself between my rear wheel and the swing arm. It brought me to a sudden halt from high-speed. We couldn't' believe it didn't throw me off. It just melted and disintegrated within seconds.
We always knew that the Trans-sibe would be a gruelling leg of the journey but I didn't quite realise I would only be changing gear to get the bike going in the morning and then to slow it down again in the evening. With of course, the occasional break in between. It was a tough, monotonous stint that I am pleased is over.
Some funny things get discussed over the intercom on the long boring riding days like those on the Trans-Siberian Highway. When we are not discussing the girls, who we failed miserably to chat up in the previous city, we always dedicate a couple of hours each day to try to teach each other something new. I often wonder what the drivers of passing vehicles think when they see us trying to illustrate things by drawing diagrams in the air with our left hands. I'll now happily receive any questions you may have on Formula 1 suspension and handling fine tuning.
3339 very straight kilometers later, we finally made it to Novisibersk where the biker 'brotherhood' that so many people had previously told us about was quickly evident. We pulled over in an attempt to locate the hostel we were aiming for and moments later a car slammed on, pulled up next to us and a big scary looking guy lifting his t-shirt to expose some biker tattoos. "Me… Biker too!!" The language barrier unfortunately prevented us from extracting any information other than the name of a motorcycle store where we could purchase some consumables for the bikes. There is only so far that a 'Point it' picture book can assist despite the willingness of the local people to help.
We'd not washed for days. We desperately needed to get in to a hostel to take a shower but by this stage my bike was not feeling good at all. Handling the bike at low speeds was proving difficult as it refused to sit comfortably in a straight line. Navigating the heavy traffic of a new city centre with a horribly complex one way system in 35 degree heat is tough enough at the best of times, without the added pressure of being thrown between lanes by the bike. We pulled up outside the hostel we were aiming for and started checking out the issue. We both knew straight away it was a steering head bearing problem. The minimal tool kit we were carrying was never going to suffice in removing the bearing races from the frame and the lower bearing from the forks. I suddenly felt a very long way from home.
As we sat there contemplating how on earth we were going to communicate our problem with any local mechanics. or ask if we could use their equipment, an English speaking local, named Anatoly, approached us to enquire what the problem was. We later discovered that Anatoly was an ex-Russian speedway champion and had vast experience racing throughout Russia and parts of Europe. He was all too familiar with the difficulties of acquiring parts and tools in foreign environments and after explaining the mission we are undertaking, he seemed genuinely pleased when he realised he could help and be a part of this trip. He invited us to his holiday home the following morning, located 30km from the city centre in a place called Berdsk.
What followed next is worthy of a blog entry in itself, but in brief, with his assistance over the course of the next 10 days we got the bike back up and running, enjoyed Siberian saunas and even had an interesting session with regional Siberian news channels. There is a chance we're about to be Siberian superstars. Keep an eye out for 'The Anotoly Experience' blog I'll have up in the next few days.
In amongst those 10 days spent with Anatoly, we managed to spend some decent time in and around Novosibersk itself. Albeit out of our control, it was really nice to have no option but to sit and enjoy a Russian city for such a duration. We managed to get to countless parties and to meet some good local people. When we did stumble across an English speaker the default question was typically "Seriously guys… what the f*** are you doing here?" When they translated our route to their friends we couldn't escape the attention.
Street racing is completely legal here in Novosibersk. Well, by that I mean the police do not bat an eye lid. There is a main drag strip which sits right in the heart of the city, where after sunset its not uncommon to see turbo charged motors racing off the lights and bikers (on all styles of bikes) pulling huge wheelies. Fuel is less than 50p per litre. Why wouldn't you spend all evening red lining a turbo charged monster? The moonlit backdrop of a menacing Stalin statue really makes for an awesome street racing environment. It's a superb evenings entertainment, and as with hitting up the clubs, an equally excellent opportunity to speak to the locals.
The Trans-Sibe stint was sufficient to suitably square off the road tyres but today we picked up the knobblies from Staas, a contact well known amongst the adventure biker world. A change is in sight. If all goes to plan, we will ride as far as we can through Mongolia on the road tyres in an attempt to have fresh knobbles when we venture back up to Lake Baikal, Russia, to begin the infamous BAM road. After some of the stories local bikers have told us over the last few days, to say I'm nervous would be a huge understatement. It was great to experience Russian life like that, but for now I'm excited about getting back on the bike and getting some more of those Tough Miles under-way. Next stop is Mongolia.
Keep 'em coming guys… the target is still a long way off yet: http://www.justgiving.com/toughmiles
Here is to the Brother-hood. Novosibersk… It's been emotional.

So my winter trip is just about coming to an end, but its been everything I'd hoped for. We climbed, painted, made great friends, and most importantly avoided the worst of the northeast winter.
We'll be starting the drive back today, taking tons of photos along the way, and most likely doing some painting too. I thought I was starting to get ahead of the game, but I ended up selling 7 or 8 pieces on the road, which was great but also put be behind again. Time to get into serious painting mode! This was a fun little painting I just finished up last night.

Agricultural Transformations in Sugarcane and Labor in Brazil
Thomas D. Rogers
The Portuguese took sugarcane from their Atlantic island holdings to Brazil in the first decades of the 16th century, using their model of extensive agriculture and coerced labor to turn their new colony into the world's largest producer of sugar. From the middle of the 17th century through the 20th century, Brazil faced increasing competition from Caribbean producers. With access to abundant land and forest resources, Brazilian producers generally pursued an extensive production model that made sugarcane's footprint a large one. Compared to competitors elsewhere, Brazilian farmers were often late in adopting innovations (such as manuring in the 18th century, steam power in the 19th, and synthetic fertilizers in the 20th). With coffee's growth in the center-south of the country during the middle of the 19th century, sugarcane farming shifted gradually away from enslaved African labor. Labor and production methods shifted at the end of the century with slavery's abolition and the rise of large new mills, called usinas. The model of steam-powered production, both for railroads carrying cane and for mills grinding it, and a work force largely resident on plantations persisted into the mid-20th century. Rural worker unions were legalized in the 1960s, at the same time that sugar production increased as a result of the Cuban Revolution. A large-scale sugarcane ethanol program in the 1970s also brought upheaval, and growth, to the industry.
Oil and Environment in Mexico
Myrna Santiago
Before there was Mexico, there was oil. Millennia of organic matter that collapsed and liquefied into fossil fuel rested deep underground and underwater along the half-moon territorial formation that 19th-century geographers named the Mexican Gulf. Hidden by the lush tropical rainforests, marshes, and mangroves that occupied the landscape from the Pánuco River on the border between modern day Tamaulipas and Veracruz and the Bay of Campeche on the South, the oil seeped to the surface in small ponds, sometimes blackening the waters of streams and lagoons from Tabasco to the Huasteca. The human communities who inhabited that part of the globe thousands of years later knew about and utilized nature's oozing sticky black tar.
The Olmec, who flourished in southern Veracruz from 1200 to 400

I am some what fascinated and, slightly obsessed by the life and loves of Gabrielle Chanel; known to most as COCO CHANEL.
Gabrielle Chanel the founder of French Fashion House, CHANEL, had the ability to capture what a woman really wanted to wear – to feel liberated and in luxury… at an expense of course.
Chanel was also very articulate; as can be seen from her many many enchanting and insightful quotations…
"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."
"A fashion that does not reach the streets is not a fashion."
"A woman has the age she deserves."
"Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door."
"Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman."
"Fashion fades, only style remains the same."
"Fashion has become a joke. The designers have forgotten that there are women inside the dresses. Most women dress for men and want to be admired. But they must also be able to move, to get into a car without bursting their seams! Clothes must have a natural shape."
"Fashion is architecture: it is a matter of proportions."
"Fashion is made to become unfashionable."
"How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone."
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."
"I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little – if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."
"I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like."
"Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury."
"Innovation! One cannot be forever innovating. I want to create classics."
"Since everything is in our heads, we had better not lose them."
"The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you!"
"Where should one use perfume?" a young woman asked. "Wherever one wants to be kissed," I said."
All these quotations are so legendary and thoughful. Coco Chanel is a wonderful individual who lived a very fulfilled and supreme life… leaving other peoples lives supreme and very fulfilled… including my very own life. Thank You Madame Gabrielle.
Ms. Judy Pink.

A's lease settled after Lew Wolff accepts Oakland's changes
Team's co-owner accepts 10-year deal at Coliseum
Recommended Video:
The long-disputed 10-year lease to allow the Oakland A's to continue playing at O.co Coliseum was finally settled Tuesday after co-owner Lew Wolff said he had accepted most of the changes made by city officials.
Wolff's acceptance closes a bitter divide between Oakland City Hall and the owners of a baseball team who have longed to move to a new, modern stadium in a bigger market. The agreement, however difficult, may also usher in an effort by Wolff to help develop the existing stadium site.
In a letter to City Administrator Henry Gardner last week, Wolff informed city officials of his interest in pursuing a new stadium at the O.co site, and the lease agreement says the team will "engage in good faith discussions" to stay in Oakland.
But if he were to decide to move the team outside Oakland, the lease allows the A's to leave as early as December 2017 by giving two years' notice. The team, however, would have to pay rent for any remaining years on the lease.
Fans were ecstatic that the A's - the team with the best record in Major League Baseball - are staying in Oakland.
"We love it they're staying in Oakland. We love the Coliseum - the atmosphere, the history, the memories, the convenience," said Alex Aguilar of Oakdale, a student at California State University-Stanislaus who had showed up with about a dozen friends to play beer pong with plastic A's cups in the Coliseum parking lot before the game with the Houston Astros Tuesday.
"This is our neighborhood team," he said. "It's welcoming here. It's not uptight or expensive. We love Oakland and we want them to stay here."
14 months in the making
The team is expected to pay Oakland and Alameda County about $20 million for use of the stadium over the next 10 years. The city and county operate the stadium under the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority, which negotiated with the A's for 14 months to reach a lease deal.
But the deal hit trouble when Oakland insisted on altering some of the lease terms, prompting MLB Commissioner Bud Selig to give Wolff permission to immediately seek a new home outside Oakland.
After extended negotiations, the two sides settled Tuesday - hours after a bolt of lightning hit the Coliseum.
Wolff said he accepted the terms of the lease contract after reviewing the deal and making some minor adjustments to the language put forward by Oakland last week.
Next stop: supervisors
"It looks like we have a mutually agreeable lease transaction that will be subject to the vote of the Board of Supervisors," Wolff said.
Gardner, who was closely involved with the negotiations, said he was pleased that both the city and the A's had agreed to a deal.
"I am glad we have reached an agreement that is mutually acceptable," Gardner said. "This has been a long and challenging process. But we made it."
In a statement, Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said, "We look forward to moving on to talking about the bigger goal: building a beautiful new ballpark for the team right here in Oakland."
In his July 15 letter to Gardner, Wolff wrote that he has been looking into the cost of building a ballpark for the A's at the Coliseum site.
"I believe our development experience and financial capabilities are as strong, credible and proven as you and the City Council would desire," Wolff wrote, adding that his business group is completing a 17,000-seat soccer stadium near San Jose's Mineta International Airport without public funding.
More approvals
The A's lease deal has already been approved by the Coliseum Authority and Oakland's City Council and will head to the Alameda County Board of Supervisors next week for what is expected to be an easy approval. Due to the recent changes, the revised lease may go back to the Coliseum Authority for another vote.
Councilman Larry Reid, who voted against the city's seven proposed changes, said he was glad Wolff agreed to a final deal.
"I am excited that the A's have come to an agreement based on the seven items and the minor changes that the president of the council put forward at the last City Council meeting," Reid said.
Wolff accepted the changes spelled out by the City Council, including clauses that clarified language or shielded the city from liability. But Wolff did not accept all of the minor changes City Attorney Barbara Parker made to the contract after the council meeting, a source said.
'Frustrated' by changes
Still, the bitter public wrangling over the lease deal left many bruises at City Hall.
Reid, who serves on the Coliseum Authority board, said he was "frustrated" by the city's 11th-hour changes to the deal after 14 months of negotiations.
"There were too many cooks in the kitchen," he said.
Councilwoman Pat Kernighan, who was closely involved with the recent negotiations, said she was glad the A's had agreed to a deal.
"The A's got the basic deal they had negotiated for, and we got a few improvements in the language," Kernighan said.
Most fans acknowledged that they hadn't followed the roller-coaster lease negotiations among the city, team owners and Coliseum Authority. But they were unanimous in wanting the team to stay put.
David Kahan, a real estate agent from Reno, brought 80 friends to Tuesday's game where the group rate was $10 per ticket.
"Where else can I host a party for 80 people, see a great team, and not go broke? You can't beat this," he said, setting out six-packs of beer and unpacking a case of Caspers hot dogs. "Try doing this is at the new Niners stadium. ... Sure, a new A's stadium would be nice, but I'd rather have this."
Jesus Zamora, a bartender from Salinas, and his family said he has one major concern about the team's future.
"We just love it here," he said while stoking a barbecue. "I love Oakland. The fans are rowdy and fun. ... I'm glad they're staying. Now we just need to get past the Tigers and win the World Series."

ForumsNewsiPhone App Updated
iPhone App Updated

Posted: Mar 11, 2009
Posted by Toodledo:
It's definitely a daylight savings bug. Wait one day and it should be cleared up. Also, please make sure that your timezone is still set correctly on the iPhone and the website.
It occurred to me afterwards that it was probably related to the time zone changing on the Toodledo server. I was getting the bug and I am not even in an area that had a DST change.*
I am not getting the bug any more on items that I create anew.
* That said, I have gone into my Toodledo account settings and noticed that it has advanced my local time by an hour. Is Toodledo assuming that all users have DST changes the same as (most of) the US and Canada? I'm not even in the same hemisphere!
Love the application. Well done!
Posted: Mar 17, 2009
Sure hope the bug fix works properly. My iphone App is now entirely useless - just did a 'copy all from Toodledo' and all today's items are showing (on the iPhone) as Overdue, all tomorrow's items showing as due today.
Local for me is Western Australia. Out Daylight Savings finishes at the end of this month.

Hello Steve,
You may realize this, but you are not using the officially supported Toodledo iPhone app. "Copy all from Toodledo" is a command in the 3rd party app "Ultimate Todos" which also syncs with Toodledo. The fix seems to have worked for the Toodledo app which is just called "Toodledo" but not for the Ultimate Todos app. I have emailed the developers of Ultimate Todos, but it seems like it may take an app update to fix that app, and those usually take weeks. I have switched to the Toodledo app for now. I don't like it quite as much, but it is very good, and better than the third big Toodledo syncing app, "Todo", in my opinion.
Toodledo Founder
Sorry, but we can only support our apps. Toodledo.com and Toodledo on the iPhone have been fixed. If you are using Ultimate Todos, you will need to contact them for help with their bugs.
Posted: Mar 18, 2009
Thanks Anders - I had no idea my iPhone app wasn't genuine Toodledo (doh!).
Have now switched to the 'official' Toodledo iPhone app.

The more we discover about nature, the more simple and elegant it becomes. In the 1860s, Maxell's equations united magnetism and light, giving us electromagnetism. In the 1940s and 1950s, physicists united quantum mechanics and relativity to give us quantum field theory—which is the basis of the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
Now scientists want to unify the three fundamental forces in the Standard Model—the strong force, the weak force and electromagnetism. If these three forces have the same strength at higher energies, it could help explain dark matter, dark energy, the odd mass of the Higgs boson, the Big Bang and the curious differences between fermions and leptons.
But uniting these three forces mathematically requires a whole second set of fundamental particles—particles that are theorized but remain yet to be seen.
Supersymmery is a model that acts like an expansion pack to the Standard Model and help explain some of its unanswered questions. Supersymmetry predicts that every fermion has a twin boson and vice versa. Fermions create the scaffolding of solid matter, while bosons dictate how the different forms of matter can interact. Supersymmetry would link these two groups and help explain how the fundamental forces and particles are interlaced.
