May 13, 2014 - Nicaragua seeks to de-dollarize economySurprised they did not try to tie it more closely to the Venezuelan Bolívar ;-))
Nicaragua, one of the most unofficially dollarized economies in Latin America, is asking the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for help to strengthen its currency.
The córdoba, which has been pegged to the U.S. dollar since 1991, has essentially become a second-rate currency in it's own country. Nicaragua's Central Bank says 70% of all bank deposits and 90% of loans are made in U.S. dollars. Independent economist Néstor Avendaño estimates the córdoba now represents only 20% of the total liquidity of Nicaragua's economy...
You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time...
May 15, 2014 - Central Bank to un-dedollarize economyBut you can't fool all of the people all of the time!
A few days after floating the idea of de-dollarizing Nicaragua's economy, the Central Bank has withdrawn its plan and publicly recognized the country's preferential option for U.S. dollars.
"There is a strong preference for dollars in Nicaragua, and we can't go against the current," Central Bank president Ovidio Reyes said during a press conference on Wednesday, under the careful watch of IMF mission chief Przemek Gajdeczka...
Reserve currencies
In Simon Black's Notes from the field for today, you can find an interesting chart. It shows what international reserves are held in.
While the US dollar has, until recently, continued to grow in quantity, it has continued to drop in percentage of international reserves. In 2001 it was about 75% (I am guessing by looking at the chart) whereas today it appears to be more like 35%. In fact, the total value of international reserves in Euros today is more than what US$s was in 2001. The percentage of unallocated reserves has also grown substantially meaning that some big players could elect to substantially change the game in favor of a particular currency.
That Crack About
paying out dollar bank accounts in Cordobas must have caught the eye of quite a few . . . shades of Venezuela.
Venezuela lost another airline. .. Venezuela's problem is not dollars vs Bolivars. It's Bolivars aren't worth the paper they are printed on. Inflation is supposed to be 60% this year. Who want's Bolivars when in a year they will be worth less than half of what they are worth today?
Certainly not Alitalia . . . .they voted with their feet -well, with their wings. I hope they got their planes out before Maduro recuperated them,
Couldn't they switch to that ALBA currency they were talking about, suckers? Or, maybe just use beans as currency. That country is an embarrassment. Could they hire some Nicaraguan economists to straighten things out? Or, start teaching everyone to swim.
It is about Dollars vs Bolivars
Venezuela's 11-year-old currency control system and the problems airlines have in obtaining dollars in exchange for the bolivar currency is that under the Venezuelan system, monies collected in ticket sales have to be deposited into an account controlled by the government.
No funds can be withdrawn from the account without permission from the officials who control it.
Venezuela is holding US $3.8 Billion worth of payments.
Foreign exchange controls
That is exactly the problem. The internationalization of a country's currency offers a huge advantage. The US has enjoyed this advantage basically since it replaced the British Pound Sterling as something close to a world currency. The US dollar was at the top but that is changing.
First, when the Euro was introduced, it was on par with the US$ and actually dropped a bit lower (as I remember, about $.95) but is around $1.37 now. With the US playing footsie with Russia, things could get worse for the US$. (See http://a42.com/forum/pg/topicview/misc/financial-considerations/the-end-... for but one reason why.)
If you produce all you need, foreign exchange rates are not particularly important but clearly Venezuela does not (nor does the US). The disadvantage of not having your own currency is that you cannot manipulate its value to keep your economy on the path you want. This problem is easy to see in the EU where Germany's economy is doing very well while those of Spain, Italy, Greece, ... are not.
While we don't (yet) see currency controls in the US, there is a de facto control situation in that unlike the banks of many countries, Nicaragua included, US banks do not offer accounts in any currency except the US dollar. I am not sure if that is by law or just banksters playing games (Everbank offers CDs in foreign currencies but you have to buy them in US$ and when you sell them you get US$ back) to try to prevent another currency from replacing the US$ as the world reserve currency.
One of the interesting results is that a lot of US$ debt with China is being used to buy US real estate. That helps prop up the US real estate market but it isn't a good long-term plan.
It can't
And I never suggested currency manipulation could. It simply gives you more short-term control. If you depend on foreign trade, changing the value of your currency allows you to adjust how well that foreign trade goes. For example, if there is a lot of international demand for BMWs, Germany (with their own currency) could increase the cost of BMWs for others.
If your country is primarily a player in the global economy, then GDP (in some standard currency -- currently the US dollar) is what matters. For most of the past 100 years, the FRB was rather successful in making the US king of the hill but there was clearly a call in 2008 and it seems unlikely pre-2008 faith will ever be restored.
Venezuela Gets Paid In Dollars
for it's oil. Where do all the dollars go? I could suggest a destination, but why beat a dying horse? If everyone would just steal 10% less, there would be money for TP.
Then, they print Bolivars, backed by the good looks of Nicolas (either the current president of Venezuela, or my pig, take your choice, result is the same).
Euro was in the 80 + cent range for a while. I know this because I got paid in Euros for an IT job I did in Athens some years back. I invoiced in dollars, they paid in 85 cent Euros. My sole success as a currency trader.
The Venezuelan economy has been mis-managed for so long that it's possible it won't recover. If the US were to quit buying Venezuelan oil the country would devolve into chaos. Well, we need SOME for that big Hess refinery on St Croix.
It's interesting: The currency control scheme in Venezuela is a modern day Berlin wall. Venezuelans can leave (and many have), but you don't leave with your assets. Who wants Bolivars outside of Venezuela (Who wants Bolivars INSIDE Venezuela)?
A Thought
Do not cease to drink beer, to eat, to make love, and to celebrate life. Forget Venezuela.
— Egyptian Proverb -from NicaLiving
But, who cares? I'm beginning to lose interest . . . we're rolling into bug time in Nicaragua. Now's the time for a pre-emptive strike -before the rains start in earnest. I've got a new focus. Maduro is going to have to figure this out without my help.
For the first time, last year
Last year, Venezuela shipped more oil to Asia than it did to North America.

Basically, it is one master stylesheet that contains various design styles. It allows you to display many different button styles by combining the CSS classes.
Giveaways: 2012 FITC Tickets 13
I've got two FITC Toronto 2012 festival tickets to giveaway and all you need to do is send one tweet for your chance to win. For those of you who don't know what FITC Toronto is, it's a design and technology focussed conference which is comprised of three days of learning, networking and partying, April 23-25. I will be attending the event as usual. This year's event has features over 70 renowned digital creators from around the globe, covering everything from HTML5 to making digital art.
CSS3 Image Styles – Part 2 98
Previously I wrote two tutorials on how to style the image element with CSS3 inset box-shadow and border-radius. The trick is to wrap the image with a span tag and apply the image as background-image. However, I recently ran into a problem with that trick while designing the PhotoTouch theme. The issue is that the background-image is not resizable and thus it is not a good idea to use in responsive design. Fortunately, I found a workaround to resolve this. So today I'm going to revisit this topic again.

Adult Fiction BOHJALI
Summary: From the bestselling author of The Double Bind , Skeletons at the Feast , and Secrets of Eden , comes a riveting and dramatic ghost story. nbsp; In a dusty corner of a basement in a rambling Victorian house in northern New Hampshire, a door has long been sealed shut with 39 six-inch-long carriage bolts.nbsp; nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; The home's new owners are Chip and Emily Linton and their twin ten-year-old daughters. Together they hope to rebuild their lives there after Chip, an airline pilot, has to ditch his 70-seat regional jet in Lake Champlain after double engine failure. Unlike the Miracle on the Hudson, however, most of the passengers aboard Flight 1611 die on impact or drown. The body count? Thirty-nine - a coincidence not lost on Chip when he discovers the number of bolts in that basement door. Meanwhile, Emily finds herself wondering about the women in this sparsely populated White Mountain village - self-proclaimed herbalists - and their interest in her fifth-grade daughters. Are the women mad? Or is it her husband, in the wake of the tragedy, whose grip on sanity has become desperately tenuous?nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; The result is a poignant and powerful ghost story with all the hallmarks readers have come to expect from bestselling novelist Chris Bohjalian: a palpable sense of place, an unerring sense of the demons that drive us, and characters we care about deeply. The difference this time? Some of those characters are dead.

MelodicRock.com Reviews
Produced by: No one apparently!
Released: OUT
Relatives: Lou Gramm, Brett Walker
Without much fan fare and without a lot of pre-release hype, this album has come almost out of nowhere to knock my socks off!
What a great record. Another one from the Swedish school of melodic song writing. This past 12 months have seen these Northern Europeans move clearly miles ahead of their nearest competition in the songwriting and album production department.
The former lead singer of Jagged Edge has released an interesting and mixed record that is primarily pumped up mature melodic rock. It's neither a hard rock record, nor a pure AOR record.
It's a well produced commercial rock album filled with great songs.
The album ranges from pure AOR to funked up hard rock, to the much loved but hard to do right high-tech AOR. The majority of tracks go towards commercial FM radio style US rock. The style of the album compares to one of my personal rock favorites Charlie Sexton. Not surprisingly, Alfonzetti does a ripping cover of Sexton's Blowing Up Detroit to open the album. Other Sexton like production tracks include No Way Out and Don't Let Our Love Go Down - especially the guitar solo!
Better Then Goodbye is a Brett Walker / Jim Peterik composition and sounds like it could have been lifted from Walker's awesome Nevertheless album.
Let Me In is a Michael Morales written track that also mimics his trademark sound, while remaining faithful to the rest of the album's original songs.
Blue Hero deserves special mention for it's fantastic change of pace of funked up rock into the chorus - a genuine piece of classic melodic rock.
Out In The Cold is also a classic piece of acoustic driven anthem AOR. Lou Gramm could not have done better!
Speaking of Lou, Am I Fooling Myself could have been lifted from the Foreigner Mr. Moonlight album. Very smooth and very cool.
I am not surprised to see a Charlie Sexton song covered on the album as the pounding Alfonzetti rhythm section is much reminiscent of both Charlie's own two solo albums - especially the monster sound employed on his 1989 Self Titled album.
Things That Make You Cry is a great way to end the album - not quite totally acoustic, Matti has the backing of electric and acoustic guitars, but no rhythm section. It's a haunting track.
|ESSENTIAL FOR: All fans of great high-tech AOR and melodic rock. Fans of all good things Swedish.

The Frugal Gene…
Posted on 21. Dec, 2009 by Sandra in Frugality
After Helen got her ears pierced we ran out of cotton balls to apply the disinfectant. She and I stood in the Superstore on Saturday trying to figure out which bag was the best buy.
We grabbed a bag of "jumbo" balls; after some quick math (by Helen, no less) we ascertained that this particular bag cost us less per ball than other bags. The price was $1.27.
There were 100 cotton balls in the bag and after helping her apply disinfectant with two of them (as demonstrated by the ear piercing woman) I commented that the balls were a bit wasteful for the job.
We needed, I told Helen, to get a bit more frugal with them.
"What's frugal, mom?" I love it…she's walking right to it, I don't have to lead her at all! Maybe it's hereditary??
It's been a while since I've defined frugal for myself, let alone for one of my children.
I explained that frugal was using the earth's resources to the best of our ability without using up all our money. That's a pretty close approximation of my answer, which I thought was pretty good considering I was standing in the bathroom with a bottle of disinfectant in one hand and two used cotton balls in the other.
I later had to go and look up my favourite definition of frugal, which I cite in my Frugal vs Cheap posting way back last spring. This is the definition from Your Money or Your Life.
Frugality is enjoying the virtue of getting good value for every minute of your life energy and from everything you have use of.
I suggested to Helen that we should rip each cotton ball in half to get better value out of the bag. This led to a discussion about how long the bag would last.
Helen was told that she needed to keep cleaning her ears three times a day for six weeks. The bag had 100 jumbo balls.
I have to stop for a minute and point out that Helen is a math whiz (in our humble opinion). She is almost 9 and in Grade 3 and her grasp of math and ability to wrap her head around calculations, in her head, constantly amazes us. Sometimes, she is a step ahead of me!
So she figured out pretty quickly that if we didn't rip the balls in half we had 50 uses for them (since we were using two balls each time). Then she wanted to figure out how long the bag would last if we weren't frugal. I prompted her to divide into groups of three (three times a day).
However, she was all over that! She pointed out that for the first four days it was only twice a day since she was in school at midday. AND, when holidays were over it would be back to two times a day. She figured out (on her own and in her head) that the "unfrugal bag" wouldn't even last her through the Christmas holidays.
She then figured out that if we split each ball the bag would last for twice as many uses. Great! She then started counting up the weeks and the uses, factoring in the three times a day holiday uses and the two times a day school day uses and figured out that even by splitting each ball in two, the bag wouldn't last a full six weeks.
I could see her mind churning away after figuring this out and she finally blurted out, "let's split them in three!!!"
I refrained from reminding her that the bag cost only $1.27 (because, after all, it's not strictly about the pennies involved, but whether we could get full value for the purchase and making the best use of our resources). I told her that splitting in two gave me adequate ball to disinfect with, but we needed to figure out if splitting in three made it more difficult (and, in essence cheapening the experience; see my posting Frugal vs. Cheap).
Turns out a third of a ball also works just fine. And, Helen informed me, now that she wouldn't need the entire bag for her ears, I could take the remainder and use them on my eyebrows.
What a lesson in math, frugality and sharing. All for $1.27!

On Lower Electric Vehicle Prices from GM and Nissan
"Your welcome. It actually is not a bummer. With the state and fed incentive the Leaf was quite afforable and still gives me plenty of fun and I fully enjoy driving it daily."
Well in reality the rest of the taxpayers kicked in to pick up the tab without getting to enjoy the new car. So, it's still a bummer.
On Solar Energy: Grid Parity In India, Italy, and More to Come in 2014
"* Cost less than $3/W installed (stated publicly by First Solar VP, Maja Wessels, at our GW Solar Institute annual symposium in April)"
Frankly, I find this claim to be astonishing. Current costs for just panels alone are nearly $3 per watt and they amount to less than half the typical costs of a retail installation. So I suspect that someone is providing some wishful thinking to arrive at that conclusion.
On Solar Energy: Grid Parity In India, Italy, and More to Come in 2014
Actually the comments about 3 dimension energy availability show a fundamental misunderstanding of both physics and geometry.
However, that being said we probably can collect enough solar power to provide a substantial amount of our energy supply. The critical factor is and always has been storing solar power. That's a problem that is still outstanding and until we have a real, economically viable solution then solar will remain a niche market.
Currently solar is primarily limited to shaving off peak power demand between the hours of 10am to 2pm with emphasis on replacing air conditioning electrical usage. Beyond that (still substantial) power profile it's economic efficiency dwindles to insignificant or negative.
On Innovation Down Under Could Mean Off-Grid AC
"I have to commend you on this great idea. Please shoot for 100% efficiency. I hope it can be done."
LOL, well the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics says no to that one.
But to be fair, the source said: "My target is to make it 100 per cent [more efficient than current AC systems]", so he's not aiming for 100% efficiency, he's aiming for twice the efficiency as current AC systems, but his phrasing was misleading.
On The Romney-Ryan Energy Plan by the Numbers
"Oil is a fundamentally global commodity. Gas prices are not going to drop just because the US produced more oil."
If the US produces enough oil to have a net increase on World Oil production then yes the price of oil will go down. And as far as the price of gasoline, currently the US is refinery constrained, so we need to build more refineries and that coupled with a decrease in the price of oil will drop the price of gas.
"And unless the US decides not to sell or export natural gas and shift over its energy sourcing to predominanly natural gas (no less revamp transportation and infrastructure to suite it), there is unlikely to be much change."
It's extremely expensive to export natural gas, generally you have to liquify it first, which adds a substantial amount to the cost. So, I think you are completely wrong about this. I think one of the best approaches the US could take would be to aggressively convert our over-the-road diesel trucking fleet to natural gas. This would act to substantially replace a large amount of imported oil with local natural gas. Couple this with using strong hybrid commuter vehicles (that can go dozens of miles off of battery power alone) and the US could be energy independent. Or at the very least, avoid importing petroleum from outside of North America.
On US emissions continue to fall
This whole pledge is just green washing. The drop in emisssions is virtually all do to a slugging economy. As soon as the economy turns around the emissions will go back upward. It's ridiculous for the US to pledge to such large drops when they are never going to happen. It's all just propaganda.
The US should restrict its pledges to ones it plans to keep.
On Exports Raise the Bar for US Strategic Petroleum Releases
All this talk of opening up the SPR seems bizarre to me. A you point out, currently the high gas prices are due as much to refining constraints as they are to high oil prices. Adding extra oil to the mix will, as you say, make the refineries more profitable. However, it will not decrease the price of gas.
Hurricane Isaac had cut US refinery capacity far more than it has US oil production. Furthermore, the large fires at Venezuela's largest refinery (one of the biggest in North America) will also drive up demand for gas. All of these will contribute to high gas prices. Releasing oil from the SPR will not change those prices at all. Any release of oil will be purely a political move designed to look like the government is doing something. What the US government should be doing is encouraging the building of additional US refining capacity, which would act to lower the cost of gas, at least in the long run.
On Obama Administration Makes History by Raising Fuel Standards to 54.5 MPG
"This isn't some distant dream; it is a concrete reality that begins now."
No, it's not a concrete reality. Nor is it a distant dream. It's a plan. And a tenuous plan at best. There is no clear path to 54.5 MPG at the present time. Granted that's the EPA rating and this may translate to closer to a real world 40-45 MPG. Going from 27-28 MPG to 40 MPG is possible over the next 12 years. Going from 27-28 MPG to 54 MPG is quite improbable.
I would much rather see a realistic, cost effective goal than another pie in the sky, doomed to failure approach. This looks like the latter. I think this is more election year politics than sound policy.
On What's Missing in the Romney Energy Plan?
Yes, this was a good article. Thanks for covering Romney's Energy plan in a balanced manner. I look forward to someone doing the same with Obama's updated Energy plan.
On NYC's Delta Building Uses Smart Tech To Provide Its Own Power
There's something wrong with this story. There is no way that's enough solar panels (from the picture) to provide even the electrical needs for a building of that size in New York City. New York is a cold, cloudy climate. From the article: "It combines solar and wind energy to meet 100% of its energy needs—generating its own electricity, hot water and heat." I'm extremely doubtful of the claim that this building is actually meeting 100% of it's energy needs.
On Renewable Energy — Facts and Figures
This is an excellent article. And thanks for breaking out capacity factor and actual production numbers. It's silly to concentrate solely on capacity when what we, as a society, really want is the electricity, not the machines themselves. And yet countless articles do. This kind of article is why I enjoy reading The Energy Collective.
I think you are a little pessimistic when you place the limit at renewals being capped at around 10% of total energy production. At least as far as electricity production, I've seen estimates of around 20% or so for Wind power alone. Granted those estimates were probably high, but I would expect that wind, augmented with solar to shave peak power usage in the South and a build out of additional high voltage lines from high wind areas to other areas of the country should be able to get us around 20% usage. That combined with another 5-7% hydropower and 20% Nuclear would see the US electrical grid at around 45-50% non-fossil fuel usage.
On EU to impose new rules that will cut driving cost by 25%
I wonder if in the long run, Europe will raise the average cost of driving above what the middle class can afford. And thus make automobile usage the purview of the rich.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I think the point that everyone is missing is that the expansion is still a ways off, and we still don't know in full what exactly is going to be in it, I'll reserve judgement til it comes out, if it is more of the same then my account will go back on hold. But I don't see much point in saying that it's going to be dull, monotonous, more of the same, etc.; til I've played it.
Because in the end, whether my account is active or not between now and the expansion (which is what Blizzard should be worried about on a larger scale) I know that I will at least give it a try.
On the other hand, as I said, Blizzard really should take a deeper look into what people are doing in that dead time "between" expansions. Perk up the mid-level content, add mini-games as someone before me said, and in general, give us casual players something to do so we don't feel as guilty for banging out the last ten levels as fast as we could. Because it's not our fault, really. ;)

This is the second installment of Rachel & Gabe Rock Asia (following Part 1: Hong Kong). It's extremely long and contains a tons of pictures, so settle in and enjoy!
Getting from Hong Kong to Siem Reap (REP) was a bit of a planning challenge. Flying direct was not an option—at least one, and often two connections was necessary. And even those cost upwards of $450 USD one way. So then I got "smart" and realize that we could fly direct to Phnom Penh (PNH), explore there, then take either a bus or a boat to Siem Reap and see the countryside along the way. Normally this one-way ticket on Dragonair (Cathay Pacific's low-cost carrier) would be about $550 USD, but because they're a oneworld partner we were able to redeem 15,000 American AAdvantage miles and call it a day (not an amazing redemption ratio, but not bad by any means). The flight on Dragonair was quite nice (as was the case on all the Asian carriers), so I would recommend the airline to anyone looking for intra-Asia flights
Anyway, I put the word smart in quotation marks because although we enjoyed the way the trip panned out, we would never do it that way again. You'll find out more later. First, let's dig in to the good stuff.
My first impressions of Cambodia were far better than anything I expected. As the least developed country I've yet visited, my expectations were quite low—thatched roofs, predominantly non-motor transportation, and things of that nature. Instead I encountered an airport on par with those in small town America, modern buildings, plenty of people driving cars of the mid-nineties or newer, and everything being quite pleasant overall. Well, except for the massive flooding we flew over on the way in—that was not pleasant, and my heart ached for these people before we even touched down.
After we landed we found our driver waiting for us in the parking lot—he was holding a sign that read "MOGOLSKI" ;) If you ever go to Southeast Asia, don't even dream of renting a car and driving yourself around—it's not possible. These people have absolutely no regard for traffic laws (if they even exist), the concept of staying in a lane, or the instruction "do not enter." I can't imagine an attempt to drive that didn't result in the death of myself or another. Or at least a stray dog or rooster. The good news is that you can hire a driver for an entire day in Cambodia for something in the vicinity of $40, so getting around won't break the bank.
O.K., back to activities. Before heading to the bus depot, we had our driver take us to the Killing Fields. Yes, I'm talking about the site featured in the 1984 film of the same name. Touring the Killing Fields was an extraordinarily eye opening experience. We learn about the Holocaust over and over again in school, yet we don't even touch on these other genocides and atrocities that have happened, nearly even in our lifetime. I don't want to go into a history lesson here, but if you don't know much (or anything) about Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge regime, and Cambodia in the 1970s, I recommend you do some reading.
Long story short: it was a terrible communist regime which aimed to institute a forced agrarian society and killed any and everyone who was educated, appeared educated, or was related to an educated person. Somewhere between 1.7 and 2.5 million men, women and children of the 8 million-person Cambodian population were tortured and executed in just four years by the Khmer Rouge, and much of that took place at the Killing Fields. The final stop on the Killing Fields tour is this stupa, the center glass portion of which is filled with hundreds of victims' skulls, many of which show evidence of the blow that ended that person's life. The stupor's design is very symbolic and unfortunately too much for me to digest and repeat.
We considered going to Tuol Sleng Prison/Genocide museum after the Killing Fields, but unfortunately we ran out of time before we had to be at the bus depot. We heard from friends that is a good museum, however, so I do recommend that you try to pencil it in to your trip.
Our experience at the bus depot was hectic and nerve-wracking, to say the least. We were two of very few non-Cambodians there, and we were all kinds of grateful that it was air conditioned because it was hoooooooot and humid in Phnom Penh! Between the little bit of English being spoken, having to stare down our luggage sitting outside in a giant pile afraid that it was going to be loaded onto a bus going who knows where, and being unable to ignore the man who kept trying to sell us a newspaper, there was just too much going on for the two of us—it made me very nervous about what was about to come.
Luckily, it turned out that there wasn't much to be afraid of. The bus was decent, they gave us free water and snacks, and the two small Cambodian children on the bus didn't make a peep the entire time (American parents could stand to take lessons from these people!).
Although the bus was nice enough, the ride was LONG. For whatever reason I was expecting a 5-hour ride. What we got was an 8+ hour ride delayed by flooded roads and slow-moving traffic. The up side was that we got to see what "real life" in Cambodia actually looked like, and it was much more like what I initially expected of the country—thatched roofs, livestock feeding on the side of the road, stray dogs and cats everywhere, and lots and lots of flooding.
We didn't get into Siem Reap until late, so we didn't really know what to make of it. The next morning once we arrived at Angkor Wat, however, we quickly realized that every minute of the bus ride was totally worth it. In two days we visited seven different temples, each of which had a totally different (amazing) look and feel. Because I'm obsessed with ancient civilizations, I could go on for days about the temples. Instead, I'll post some pictures and brief commentary of and about my favorites:
Angkor Wat
Before we got there I was aware that Angkor Wat is the largest religious building in the world, but I was not prepared for exactly how massive it is. On top of that, every square inch of it is covered in some kind of extremely ornate carving. We visited twice—once as our first stop, and once at sunrise on our last day—and I *highly* recommend a sunrise visit. I am NOT a morning person, and if I'm willing to wake up during the 5:00 hour, you KNOW it's going to be good. Overall I was very impressed by Angkor Wat, but didn't realize what kind of other awesome was waiting for us around Siem Reap.
Angkor Thom - Bayon
I liked Bayon—part of the Angkor Thom complex—even better than Angkor Wat. It felt much more genuine than Angkor Wat partly because it wasn't as well restored (as you can see in the pictures), and partly because style of everything from the construction to the carvings was completely different from what we saw at A.W. (I tried to add pics of the more detailed carvings, but Tumblr won't let me :-/). The reason for this is that every Khmer king would build his own temple when he came to power, thus leaving something like 100 years between the completion of each. Tastes and styles obviously change in such a long period of time. Anyway, the smiling faces of Jayavarman VII were my favorite thing about Bayon—they're huge and everywhere—Wikipedia says there are 216 of them. They make you feel so happy :)
Angkor Thom - Baphuon
Please excuse the poor quality of the first photo—the humidity had taken over my lens by this point in the day (ohhhh the humidity!). We were really lucky because according to our 2012 Fodor's, this temple was supposed to still be closed for restoration—but lookie there, we made it! Bauphon reminded me of a Mayan/Aztec temple because of the general pyramid shape, and this was the first temple we encountered in the area that wasn't completely covered in carvings. You can't really tell without looking closely, but the walkway leading up to the temple is raised 10 feet or so off the ground—it created a really cool effect as you approached the main entrance. This was also the temple where I was followed around by a bunch of teenage monks, one of whom kept taking photos of me. After I noticed this I went out of my way to make friends, take photos, and help them practice their English. It was great fun.
Banteay Srei
Banteay Srei, "The Citadel of Women," is located quite far outside of the main temple area, but is totally worth the drive (and the extra $10 or so for your driver). Again, this temple is completely different from the others we visited—it's made out of pink sandstone, the carvings are (again) distinct, there are no stairs (everything is on the same level), and the jungle kind of closes in around it making you feel like you've found something hidden. The light bouncing off the sandstone was so pretty, I can't even explain it. You can also enjoy some shade here, which was quite welcome at this point in our day. The only bad part was the dozens of Japanese tourists carrying umbrellas and making it very difficult to take a good picture.
Ta Prohm
Ta Prohm was my favorite of all the temples we visited. A few parts of it have been restored, but most of it has been left as is, which is to say awesomely giant piles of centuries-old rubble. It really made you feel like a tomb raider walking around the giant maze of dark, damp corridors, getting stuck at dead ends and then emerging into bright wide open courtyards. And yeah—that's probably why they filmed the movie there. The coolest part is that the temple has been quite literally overgrown by trees—not just one or two, but hundreds…it's so eerie! I can't imagine that anywhere else on earth is like this place.
Cambodia Landmine Museum
The last site in Siem Reap I'd like to mention is the Cambodia Landmine Museum. You can pop in on your way out to Banteay Srei; it was one of my favorite stops on the entire trip due to educational value. The man who runs it, Aki Ra, was a child soldier for the Khmer Rouge (then the Vietnamese Army and later the Cambodian Army) tasked with planting landmines. The destruction he witnessed during his younger years (O-M-G, thank goodness we live in America) lead him to dedicate his adult life to de-mining Cambodia. The museum teaches you much about the history of the Khmer Rouge, technical aspects of landmines and de-mining, and the politics involved with de-mining efforts in SE Asia. Along with the museum, Aki Ra also runs an orphanage which takes in children maimed and injured by landmines whose parents cannot/will not. The museum had quite an impact on me, and I'm so glad we stopped by. Added bonus: the views of the rice paddies and huts along the drive out to the museum are quite beautiful.
Accommodations in Siem Reap
If you're heading to Siem Reap, I highly recommend our hotel—the Angkor Pearl. We stayed there for three nights and found it to be a very nice hotel—exceptionally nice considering the going rate was less than $18/night! It was named the #6 best bargain in Asia in the TripAdvisor 2011 Travelers' Choice Awards, and the accolade is well deserved. You can find Gabe's detailed review if you're interested (he left it on December 14th, in case you have to scroll down).
OK, that was incredibly long. Thanks for sticking with it, loyal readers, and you can look forward to my next post on Thailand sometime in the next couple of weeks! Speaking of readers…
Have any of you been to Cambodia? How did you like it? Do you recommend any stops I didn't mention?

Just Had My Bare Bum Smacked (spanked!!)Seems like many people here call smacking spanking but its same thing or feels like same thing.
came home from half day at school today. mum was mad because our bedroom was a mess but it wasent that bad. could not believe she was in such a rage about it. I chirped up that its not so bad and she flew at me. I hateeeeee it!
My sister obvs loved seeing me getting it on the bare and my dad just sat there saying nothing just agreeing. was only 8 or 9 spanks with her hand. But WHY on the bare bum ??? at my age.
Rage :::((((( but im fine. hard me.
You are lucky. My bare bum is bruised slightly for the smallest offenses. Also I am spanked on my vag.
Why on the bare bum you ask - -
Because it hurts more.
Because it is more efficient for your parents, they don't have to swat as long or hard to make it sting.
Because they can see the effects and not 'overspank' one area while 'underspanking' another.
Because it is more embarrassing and therefore part of the punishment.
Because it reinforces that you are still a child being put in your place.
she needs a spanking not u!
i been reading where people been spanking with a wooden hairbrush , whats with a hairbrush ? is it because it is handy ? more harsh type of spanking ? when i was a child i always got a bare bottom OTK spanking with my mom's had. usually nothing different except my dad once in a while used a belt.
The spanking was appropriate, but you should have been spanked in private. The fact that your mom only gave you 8 or 9 spanks means she was trying to get a point across in a way you would remember. This seems like a moderate punishment to me.
And how old are you, jenny?

ANSI Committee on Protective Footwear Merges into ASTM Committee on Safety and Traction for Footwear
ANSI Z41 Committee on Personal Protection-Protective Footwear has merged into ASTM International Committee F13 on Safety and Traction for Footwear. This agreement among ASTM International, the American National Standards Institute, and the National Safety Council officially dissolves Z41 as an ANSI Committee and enables Committee F13 to undertake the oversight and distribution of the former ANSI Z41 performance requirements and test method, Standard for Personal Protection-Protective Footwear. The 1999 version of the Z41 standard has been withdrawn in light of the pending publication of the ASTM standards that will supersede it.
Z41 performance standards for safety footwear have been an important part of worker safety since 1967. Since the inception of the Z41 standard, first developed to guard against toe injuries, additional performance requirements and test methods have been developed and now include protection for areas of the foot including the metatarsal toe and foot bottom. The standard also includes protective requirements and test methods for electric shock resistant, conductive, static dissipative and dielectric footwear as well as protective footwear for use with chain saws. For more than 35 years the performance requirements contained in the Standard for Personal Protection-Protective Footwear have been referenced within U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration 1910 guidelines for worker safety.
The first ASTM protective footwear standards that will be promulgated under F13 will be based on the withdrawn ANSI Z41 standard, and are expected to be available in late 2004 or early 2005. Current drafts undergoing balloting in ASTM F13 (within Subcommittee F13.30 on Footwear) are built upon the upper class 50 and class 75 toe protection performance requirements.
WK4519, Specification for Personal Protective Footwear, and
WK4520, Performance Test Methods for Personal Protective Footwear.
The new standards are based on the ANSI Z41 1999 standard with minimal technical changes; minor changes include the removal of Class 30 for impact and compression requirements along with subtle adjustments to portions of the methodology. Therefore, the majority of existing industry inventory of product and product-information that is labeled or advertises compliance with the ANSI Z41 1999 standard should be compliant with the first generation ASTM standards noted above. However, manufacturers will have to review the new documents to ensure such compliance. After the publication of the standards, the future labeling of such items should indicate compliance with ASTM Fxxxx-yy (i.e., an assigned number and publication year such as F 9876-05, for example).
Committee F13 meets Jan. 24-25, 2005, during the January Committee Week in Atlanta, Ga. For further questions regarding the transfer of Z41 to ASTM F13 and the safety footwear documents that are being developed, contact Daniel Schultz, ASTM International (phone: 610/832-9716). //

Nike Zoom Skyposite – Kryptonate – Available on eBay
December 14th, 2009 by Aaron Kr. | 5 comments
If you are into sneakers and had a pulse last February, you're probably well aware of the huge splash made by Nate Robinson's Kryptonate edition of the Nike Foamposite Lite. Now the Kryptonate look is making its way onto another Nike Basketball model from the "Posite" family. We've already given you a few sneak peeks at the Kryptonate Zoom Skyposite, but now we bring you some new images, as well as info on where to get yours early. The Nate Robinson Kryptonate Foamposite Lite dropped in very limited quantities at House of Hoops last winter, and while there's no indication that these will be as hard to find, you might want to play it safe and get yours early from RMKstore on eBay.

About: Jason Hendricks
Hello everyone. I am Jason Hendricks. I am 30 years old which a few days ago, I realised makes me quite old in the eyes of gamers. I was born and Raised in the Bronx in New York City and now I reside in Brooklyn NY. I am a gamer through and through. I will try any games but my favorites would be 3rd person shooters, fighters, and certain sports games. This will vary from game to game though. If I am not playing video games or spending time with my family, I will probably be partaking in some musical activity. Most likely playing my guitar. Don't let my last name fool you...I can carry a tune, but Im not that good.

"Every day with every patient I endeavor to provide the best possible results no matter how simple or how challenging the case may be. I am never satisfied until my patients are."
Thank you for coming to this site. I hope it will serve as both an introduction to my practice and an invitation to our office. I'm sure there
are many fancier and more professional websites put up by other plastic surgeons, but I would like to let you know my personal impressions about what is really important in your surgical care.
Selecting a plastic surgeon can be a daunting experience. In the United States anyone with a medical degree can call themselves a "plastic surgeon". There are also many Board Certifications that can be confusing.
Initially the office staff needs to be caring and knowledgable to make the first step of your journey a pleasant experience. In our office you can ask for either
Veronica......our surgical coordinator
Melissa........our receptionist
or Virginia........our office manager and patient coordinator
That's everybody. They've been with me for years, and can provide friendly information.
Next make sure the doctor has the training and experience needed for the procedures you are interested in. Although many 'Plastic Surgeons" are board certified, their certification may be in General Surgery, ENT, OB/GYN, or Dermatology. Ask the doctor if they have
hospital privileges
to perform your procedure, because hospitals verify that proper training and experience is in place before privileges are granted.
Then meet with the office staff and doctor and make sure you are comfortable with everybody; they will all play an important role in your care. Beware of the hard sell.
Hopefully the information you need about me is in the following pages. If it isn't please call my staff. We offer surgeries at many local hospitals and surgical centers, as well as local anesthetic procedures in the office.

Hundreds Remain Homeless
New York and the East Coast are still recovering from Hurricane Sandy, a superstorm that caused billions in damage, forced the closure of public transit systems and left milllions in the dark. Here's a look at the numbers behind the storm. — Deborah Creighton Skinner and Dominique Zonyéé
A year after "Superstorm" Sandy developed from a tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea on October 22, 2013, hundreds of victims remain displaced without permanent homes and more. In New Jersey an estimated 39,000 families are homeless, down from 161,000 the day after the storm. In New York, more than 250 families are still living in hotel rooms paid for by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

- 4 cloves garlic, cut into thin slivers
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 5 sprigs (4 to 6 in. long) fresh rosemary, rinsed

- 1. Rinse lamb and pat dry; trim off excess surface fat. With a small, sharp knife, cut slits about 1/2 inch wide and deep all over lamb and insert slivers of garlic.
- 2. In a 9- by 13-inch noncorrosive baking dish or large bowl, mix wine, olive oil, lemon juice, sherry, thyme, rosemary sprigs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

AJ ACADEMY – Sea Turtles
by AJHQ, under AJ Academy
There are currently seven species of sea turtles swimming in our tropical oceans. They've been around since the time of the dinosaurs, only 110 million years. The turtle's shell is called a carapace and has become streamlined for swimming. Swimming fast and their shell are their primary lines of defense because they can't pull their legs and head into their shell.
Green sea turtles can stay under water for as long as five hours on a single breath! They can slow their heartbeats to save oxygen. They're so slow in fact that it may be as long as nine minutes between heartbeats.
Find out more about green sea turtles and download this page to color from Animal Jam Academy!

AJ Academy – The Moon
by AJHQ, under AJ Academy
Many moons in our solar system have names. Two of our favorites are Titan and Io. They're moons of Saturn and Jupiter. You may have wondered 'does our moon have a name?' Yes it does, but it's just 'moon.'
The reason for this is that in scientific terms moons are considered satellites or objects in the orbit of a planet. And before we even knew there were other moons, our satellite already had the name.
To learn about moon phases or why our moon looks different every night, head over to Animal Jam Academy!

It is illegal to rake leaves onto City streets! Leaves contain nutrients that are harmful to our valuable waterways so it is important to keep them out of city storm sewers. Go the extra step and be good to the Mississippi River by raking out leaves that collect along your curb and near storm drains.
Place leaves (along with other yard leaves and garden debris) into compostable bags and bring them to the Bunker Hills Regional Compost Site at 13285 Hanson Blvd., Coon Rapids (open M-F, 10 until sunset, Saturday 9-5 and Sunday, noon to 5). Fees may apply; call 763-767-7964 for more information.
Another way to remove leaves from your property is to use a yard waste cart, a fee-based option offered by most garbage haulers. Contact them directly for information about yard waste carts.
For more information about yard waste, call (763) 572-3594.
What Does Glass Recycling Mean? Glass Recycler Answers: Glass Bottles/Jars Only!
Fridley's Recycling Coordinator recently toured a glass recycling plant in St. Paul. Strategic Materials, new plant (2011), processes around 400 tons of glass daily. Questions arose about what kind of glass was ok to recycle. The answer? Soda pop and beverage bottles, jars,
Q: How do you sort glass colors when it is all mixed together? A: Optical sorters are used and the colors are sorted into sizes all the way down to glass dust!
Q: What are the biggest problems in the glass waste stream when it gets to your plant? A: Ceramics, porcelain, window glass and mirrors should NOT be tossed into recycling bins. Things like Pyrex glass baking dishes are also not good because all of these items melt at a high temperature and if they get mixed into good glass in the re-manufacturing process, it may cause flaws or bubbles in the final product. Another problem item is labor intensive—plastic bottle caps slip through the sorting process before the glass gets to us and we have to rake through the glass manually to pull them out! Placing the tops back on plastic bottles and then placing them in your recycling container could help.
Q: What kind of glass DO you want? We want glass bottles and jars.
According to the Recycling Association of Minnesota, recycling glass helps our economy because manufacturers can use a high percentage of recycled glass in production of new glass, reducing the need for raw materials, which cuts air pollution by 20%. In addition, when a new bottle is made from recycled materials, it generates 50% less water pollution in the process. New products like glass tiles and countertops for kitchens and bathrooms can use recycled glass. Other industries use recycled glass for asphalt and adhesive producers.
Pickleball is a relatively new sport to Minnesota. It is a cross between Tennis and Table Tennis. The court is slightly smaller than that of a tennis court and the game is played with paddles instead of racquets and a whiffle ball instead of a tennis ball. The City has two courts at Commons Park (555 61st Ave NE). For those interested in playing pickleball we have court time at Commons Park in the morning from 9:00 a.m. to 12noon on Mondays and Wednesdays. During the evening hours Commons is available for Pickleball on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. You can also check out pickleball racquets and balls from the Fridley Recreation Department for a small deposit and get the deposit back when you return the pickleball equipment.
Fridley Recreation office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday and located at 6431 Unversity Ave NE Fridley MN 55432.
For more information on Pickleball you can call the Fridley Recreation Department at 763-572-3570.

"I'm excited to join the City of Fridley and look forward to helping lead the City through its next exciting chapter," said Wysopal. "The City has many great qualities and has a strong legacy of partnering with businesses, schools, residents and community groups. It is also well known for being fiscally responsible and remaining stable throughout some very difficult times. It is my hope to continue the effective leadership for which Fridley is so well known," said Wysopal.
Wysopal brings more than 29 years of experience in local government and has held strong leadership positions within several successful organizations. He is well versed in executing redevelopment strategies and in building collaborative partnerships to achieve his goals.

His previous job history includes employment by the City of St. Louis Park in the following positions: Assistant City Manager (1993-1998); Assistant to City Manager/Personnel Officer (1988-1993); and Public Works Administrative Assistant (1986-1988). He also worked for Northfield, Illinois as the Assistant to Village Manager (1983-1986).
In addition to his local government expertise, Wysopal has been an adjunct professor with Hamline University School of Business since 1998 where he teaches Public Administration. He also teaches at Metropolitan State University in Human Resources.
Wysopal is enrolled in the doctorate program at Hamline University for Public Administration and has a Master's of Public Administration from Northern Illinois University. He received his undergraduate degree from St. Mary's University of Minnesota.
Mayor Scott Lund is anxious to work with Wysopal stating "It's been a long process to find our next City Manager, but I am excited to be working with Wally and know that he'll do an outstanding job for the City of Fridley." He went on to say that "I believe he has the expertise and leadership style that will fit well with our city. He will be resourceful, approachable and responsive to the needs of our constituents, which are so important in times of change," said Lund.
Wysopal rose to the top of the list from 46 applicants from around the county, concluding a five-month selection process conducted by the executive search firm of Slavin Management Consultants out of Norcross, GA. Consultants Bob Slavin and David Krings solicited resumes and credentials and narrowed the group down to nine (9) finalists for the Council to interview. The City Council held initial interviews over two (2) days (April 5 & 6) and held a second round interviews on April 15th with Wally Wysopal (currently the City Manager for North St. Paul) and Michael Ericson (currently an Economic Development consultant with the City of Maplewood).
