The reports of the iPad's death may be premature
I've seen a number of articles recently declaring the iPad to be, in effect, a failed experiment: not powerful enough to replace a full computer for "power user" productivity tasks, and with little utility that separates them from phones with oversized screens. Yet two or three years ago many of these same writers were declaring the iPad—and tablets in general, but really just the iPad—to be the next evolution in personal computing, as big a leap forward as the GUI and mouse.
I was a little contrarian about that, writing this time last year that Steve Jobs's famous analogy of PCs being trucks and tablets being cars might be wrong:
While each new iteration of iOS […] will give us more theoretical reasons to leave our laptops at home or the office, I'm not convinced this is solely a matter of missing operating system functionality. It may be that some tasks just don't map that well to a user experience designed around direct object manipulation.
While I still think this is true, I'm feeling a little contrarian again, because I believe the first sentence in that paragraph is still true, too. Tasks that do map well to a user experience designed around direct object manipulation are likely to get easier with each new release of iOS (and Android and Windows Whatever), and with each release there will be some tasks that weren't doable before that are now.
I've also felt for some time—and I believe I've written this in the past, although I'm not going to dig for a link—that ideas can and will migrate from OS X to iOS over time, not just the reverse. And it's always struck me as a little bonkers when people say that Apple's "post-PC vision" will never include better communication between apps, smarter document sharing, and other power user features. OS X is friendlier than Windows and Linux, but it's a far better OS for power users than either Windows or Linux, too. While I think it's true that Apple has no intention of exposing the file system on iOS—let alone exposing shell scripting—that doesn't mean that their answer to all shortcomings of iOS for power users is going to be "That's not what iOS devices are for."
So, this brings us around to Mark Gurman's report that iOS 8 will have split-screen multitasking. I don't know whether it's true (although Gurman's track record has by and large been pretty good), but this is one of the biggest shortcomings for power users on an iPad—as much as we may celebrate the wonders of focus that one app at a time gives us, in real world practice, working in one window while referring to the contents of another is something that happens all the time.
The big question for me is the feasibility of the "hybrid" model, tablets with hardware keyboards or laptops with touch screens. We don't have the latter in the Mac world, but the Windows world not only has them, touch has become pretty common on new and not-too-expensive models. Anecdotally, people like them. To me, a tablet with a hardware keyboard makes more sense than the touch laptop, simply because you can take the keyboard off and not bother with it most of the time. While I've joined in mocking the Surface's implementation of this, it may truly be Microsoft's implementation that's at fault, not the whole concept.
At any rate, I'm not only not expecting the iPad to be subsumed by "phablets," I'm expecting iOS to start delivering on distinctly "power user" features over the next few versions. I'm happy with my MacBook Pro in a way I wouldn't be with only an iPad and there will always be people who will say that. But the future of computing is a trend toward computing as appliance. Right now, there's a measurable gap between what computing appliances do and what general computers do. And it sells Apple short to suggest that they never plan to address that gap with anything more than "we don't think our customers need to do any of that."
Pampero Manhattan
There's an argument to be made that if you know a few basic cocktails, you actually know a lot of cocktails. There's a whole family of drinks that stem from the Martinez: one part each gin and sweet vermouth, with a dash of maraschino liqueur (a clear dry cherry concoction). If you look at that as a template—base spirit, vermouth and optional dash of bitters of liqueur—you can immediately see both the martini and the Manhattan there.
The Manhattan itself—classically two parts rye whiskey to one part sweet vermouth with a dash of bitters—can be squished into all sorts of interesting shapes. You can use dry vermouth with it and have a Dry Manhattan, or use a half-part each of both dry and sweet vermouth and have a "Perfect" Manhattan. Swap the rye for scotch and you have a Rob Roy. Swap the rye for Canadian whiskey, as many bars will when you ask for a Manhattan, and you have a bad Manhattan.
There's a variant that I've been introduced to by Singlebarrel that I love. It's called the Cuban Manhattan, which is a Perfect Manhattan made with dark rum. (To live up to the name, I'd suggest Flor de Caña Grand Reserve.) This is my take on it, though, using one of my favorite dark rums: a Venezuelan rum called Pampero Aniversario.
Pampero Manhattan
- 2 oz. Pampero Aniversario rum
- 1 oz. Carpano Antica sweet vermouth
- 1–2 dashes chocolate bitters
Stir with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of orange peel.
(I used Fee's Aztec Chocolate Bitters because that's what I happen to have, although the general consensus seems to be that Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters are the best of the lot.)
Private clubs and open bars: on App.net vs. Twitter
App.net is an ambitious experiment to create a for-profit "social infrastructure" system for the Internet: you could use it to build something like Twitter, or a file syncing or storage service, or a notification service. In practice the only one that got any attention, about a year ago, was App.net's vision of a better Twitter. This came shortly after it became clear that Twitter had decided it was in their own best interest to knife their development community.
Yet like it or not they're still competing against Twitter, and Twitter is "free." (The air quotes are important.) App.net started out at a price of $50 a year, then dropped to $36, then added a free tier of deliberately minimal utility. $36/year isn't an outrageous fee, but it's infinitely higher than free. It's too high to even be a credible impulse buy.
Even if you didn't see the stories yesterday you can write the next part. App.net discovered this model isn't working well after all, and they're keeping the service open but laying off everyone. This seemingly crazy move may work, but it reduces App.net to a side project.
Maybe App.net needed cheaper pricing, or maybe it just couldn't work competing with "free" no matter what. Maybe focusing on the kinds of people who give a poop about Twitter's relationship to its development community wasn't the right tack. Maybe its problem is that it was a private haven for rich white tech dudes, as some critics snarked.
Maybe, although I'll admit the last one grates on me. We're mocking App.net for having a cover charge—the only legitimate beef, as there's no evidence they discriminate based on gender, ethnicity or bank statements—then going on to the huge club down the street, the one with ads on every available bit of wall, because they give us cheap beer for free.
But maybe App.net has misdiagnosed the problem.
What's Twitter's functionality? Broadcast notifications sent to people who specifically subscribe to them, with simple mechanisms for setting them private or public (i.e., direct messaging) and replying. That mechanism can act as text messaging, group chat, link sharing, image sharing, status updates, site update notifications, news alerts, and more. It's a terrific concept.
App.net's best insight was that making notifications "infrastructure" the way email and HTTP are has amazing potential. Twitter has no interest in letting other people use their infrastructure except under the strictest terms. That's the problem App.net's model solves. Good for them.
But as much as this is anathema to the Valley's technolibertarian mindset, infrastructure only works as a common good. Suppose CERN had spun off WebCorp to monetize HTTP. They could offer "free" web with tightly dictated terms on how we interact with their ecosystem, or they could be liberal with those terms and exact a connection toll. But neither of those scenarios would get us to where we are now. The Internet is the Internet because it's built on protocols that are free. Not free-with-air-quotes, just free period.
"Wait, but if there was free infrastructure to do what Twitter does, how would anyone make money?" At first, by selling commercial clients and servers, although that market would be likely to decline over time. Some companies could run commercial notification networks with access charges to operators. (This vision needs a decentralized network like email to spread operational costs out as broadly as possible, but that network must deliver notifications in fairly close to real time and in the proper order, which is a huge problem.)
In the long run, broadcast notification services only survive if they do become like email services. App.net isn't making enough money to sustain a full-time business, but so far Twitter isn't either. They both believe the value is in the infrastructure, and they're both wrong. The value comes from making the infrastructure free.
Meanwhile, I find the bits of schadenfreude I'm seeing on this—not the "I didn't expect this to work and I'm disappointed I was right" posts, but the "ha ha, private club goes under" posts—to be a little disheartening. I like free beer, too, but the managers at Club Tweet are starting to look a bit desperate.
FourSquare de-gamifies →
As Foursquare added more Yelp-like features and kept de-emphasizing the game aspects that it had always been built around, I asked somewhat sardonically:
When do you think @foursquare will finally get around to removing points and this whole "checking in" thing?— Watts Martin (@chipotlecoyote) December 6, 2013
Turns out the answer is: next month. Ben Popper and Ellis Hamburger, The Verge:
Today, the company is announcing a brand new app called Swarm that will exist alongside the current Foursquare app. Swarm will be a social heat map, helping users find friends nearby and check in to share their location. A completely rewritten Foursquare app will launch in a month or so. The new Foursquare will ditch the check-in and focus solely on exploration and discovery, finally positioning itself as a true Yelp-killer in the battle to provide great local search.
Foursquare's CEO has been saying for the past year that the check-ins and points and badges and all were never their real goal, but I'm dubious. The big question ahead is whether the "new" Foursquare is really competitive with Yelp. Foursquare has listings for just as many businesses as Yelp, but it doesn't have ratings for nearly as many. But worse, for an app that wants to focus on "exploration and discovery," the algorithm that drives Foursquare's ratings shows a noticeable bias toward places that are both popular and get a lot of regulars. That sounds reasonable, but a lot of times you're a regular at a place because it's close to your office. Both Yelp and Foursquare are going to be able to tell you about that huge Mexican place that's popular with all the tech workers for business lunches, but Yelp's a lot more likely to tell you about the dive taqueria worth going out of your way for.
An insider-based tech bubble? →
Noam Scheiber writing in the New Republic:
The great bubbles in history, right up through the dotcom fiasco and last decade's real estate unpleasantness, have typically been mass phenomena. […] But just because bubbles typically don't inflate until the small-timers get involved doesn't mean you can't have a bubble without them.
A short but interesting piece which fits with my own somewhat cynical musings on this topic. Also:
The good news is that most of the money lost when the bubble bursts will come from private investors, not people invested in the stock market. The only average folks likely to suffer are those who make their living in the [San Francisco] Bay Area.
No Exit →
Gideon Lewis-Kraus writes a brilliant piece of long-form journalism in Wired this month, "No Exit," following the path of a more typical startup in San Francisco than the ones that get huge payoffs.
As a self-taught programmer with no college degree at all, this passage particularly resonated with me:
It's extremely difficult to hire talented engineers in the Valley unless you've got incredible PR, can pay a fortune, or are offering the chance to work on an unusually difficult problem. Nobody was buzzing about them, and they had no money, but the upside of having a business that relied on serious machine learning was that they had worthy challenges on the table. On January 4, they made an offer to exactly the sort of engineer they needed, Tevye. He had a PhD in AI from MIT. Just to contextualize what that means in Silicon Valley, an MIT AI PhD can generally walk alone into an investor meeting wearing a coconut-shell bra, perform a series of improvised birdcalls, and walk out with $1 million. Nick and Chris had gone to good schools of modest profile—Nick to the University of Puget Sound, Chris to the University of Vermont—and while Nick also had a Harvard business degree, both were skeptical about the credential fetish of the Valley. They were happy to play the game when they could, though.
The assumption has clearly become that it's easier to teach good coding practices to people who know all the algorithms already than vice-versa. I can't definitively say that's the wrong approach, although I have my doubts. I can definitively say that it's pushing me more toward pursuing technical writing than I was thinking about even a half-year ago.
In any case, while my own experience with startups hasn't been nearly as stressful as what these guys are going through, I've seen just enough of that angle to make me wonder whether SF/Silicon Valley's "rock stars only" mindset is healthy in the long run. (Ironically, I'm getting more contacts than ever from people inexplicably convinced I'm a Rock Star Ninja Brogrammer looking to wrangle Big Data High Scalability DevOps Buzzword Bleepbloop problems the likes of which the world has never seen. Sorry. I know enough of the words you are using to help you document your brilliant stuff, though.)
Brendan Eich Steps Down as Mozilla CEO →
For those not keeping score, Brendan Eich is a long-time Netscape/Mozilla employee, the inventor of Javascript, and a guy who gave $1000 to California's "Proposition 8" a few years ago, the one that banned gay marriage. One of the previous facts about Eich caused a loud outcry against his recent appointment to CEO. Not the Javascript one.
Eich's defense — from himself and others — largely boiled down to "well, you have to include all viewpoints if you're going to call yourself inclusive," which is a fine argument until one considers that including the side that says you can't include the other side is the rhetorical equivalent of a division by zero error. Given how strongly Eich had been digging in his heels, one suspects he didn't step down as much as had the ladder yanked out from under him.
And the guy invented Javascript. Isn't that damage enough?
Facebooking the future
The net is abruptly abuzz with news that Facebook bought Oculus VR, the partially-Kickstarted virtual reality company backed by game engine wunderkind John Carmack. And, it's abuzz with a lot of fairly predictable hair-pulling and shirt-rending.
It's certainly interesting news, and on the surface bemusing—although no more so than half of what Google buys these days. Facebook seems to be pretty interested in keeping abreast or ahead of Google, too. Hmm. Does Google have any VR product that sort of like Oculus Rift? Something that rhymes with "crass?" I'm sure there's something along those lines I've been hearing about.
Frankly, despite all the hair-pulling I don't think this is going to make a lot of difference to Oculus Rift users. When it comes to handling acquisitions Facebook seems to be more like Microsoft than Google or Apple. And that's actually a good thing. Microsoft has certainly done in good products through acquisitions, but look at Bungie and, before them, Softimage, one of the leading high end 3D animation programs of the 1990s. In both cases, the companies were given a great deal of autonomy—what Microsoft wanted them for actually required that. Bungie's Halo essentially defined the Xbox gaming platform, and Softimage got NT into animation and movie studios. (I suspect this was a much bigger nail in SGI's coffin than it's usually given credit for.)
Facebook needs the Rift to be a successful product, and for it to be a successful product they have to not screw with it. They don't want to take it away from gamers—what they want is, well, pretty much what Zuckerberg wrote:
Imagine enjoying a court side seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world or consulting with a doctor face-to-face — just by putting on goggles in your home.
What Facebook wants, ultimately, is to build the kind of communication device that up until now only existed in science fiction. I'm not sure any company can actually pull that off, but I can't think of another company that genuinely has a better shot. And as much as many things about Facebook continue to exasperate me, I've been coming to a somewhat reluctant admiration not only of their ambition but their engineering.
I can't say this purchase makes me more likely to use either Oculus products or Facebook, but it's a very interesting milepost. I've thought for years that Facebook the product has a limited lifespan, but Facebook the company may have a much longer—and far more interesting—one than I would ever have guessed.
If only GnuTLS had been open source! Wait.
Dan Goodin, Ars Technica:
Hundreds of open source packages, including the Red Hat, Ubuntu, and Debian distributions of Linux, are susceptible to attacks that circumvent the most widely used technology to prevent eavesdropping on the Internet, thanks to an extremely critical vulnerability in a widely used cryptographic code library.
Goodin argues that the bug is worse than Apple's highly publicized "goto fail" bug, as it appears that it may have gone undetected since 2005.
I'd like to pretend I'm above feeling a bit of schadenfreude given that some of the loudest critics of Apple tend to be the open source zealots, but I'm not. One of the more religious aspects of Open Sourcitude is the insistence that all software ills stem from proprietary, closed source code. If the code is open, then in theory there should be fewer bugs, more opportunity for new features, and a lower chance of the software dying due to abandonment by its original developers for whatever reason.
But in actual, real world practice, software with few users tends to stagnate; software that becomes popular tends to keep being developed. This holds true regardless of the license and access to the source code. There are a lot of fossilized open source projects out there, and a lot of commercial products with vibrant communities. Being open source helps create such communities for certain kinds of applications (mostly developer tools), but it's neither necessary nor, in and of itself, sufficient. And no one—not even the most passionate open source developer—ever says something like, "You know what I'd like to do tonight? Give GnuTLS a code security audit."
Editorially shutting down →
While I only used the service briefly, this is still unfortunate news. Editorially is (was) a collaborative online writing tool using Markdown that I was planning to use for—yes—editorial work.
I'm not sure what to take away from this; Editorially was one of those free services they were planning to figure out how to make money from later, and that's always a dicey business. Yet as Everpix's failure demonstrated, being a paid service from the get-go isn't automatically a win. Editorially's management concluded that "even if all our users paid up, it wouldn't be enough"; would it have been if they been a paid service from the beginning? Maybe, but of course they'd have had fewer users—probably far fewer—and so that might not have been sustainable, either.

Taos House Rental Photos and Description
Sleep 2 to 18 guests on 2 very private / scenic tall pine acres
El Salto Log Compound can comfortable accommodate 2 to 18 guests in 1 to 8 bedrooms (includes 2 lofts) and 6.5 bathrooms. The compound boasts 2 hot tubs, 3 kitchens, 3 living rooms, 2 large flat screen TV's and one standard flat screen TV.
The awesome design and architecture of El Salto log home sends guests home with a most memorable vacation stay with a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience an authentic log hom. The Guest Cabin (located next to El Salto Log Home) and Private Cabin (nestled by itself at bottom of tree protected drive) offer efficient separation for large groups wanting to stay 'together' with a sense of privacy and togetherness all at once.
The guest house proximity to the log home makes it a perfect separation for children and teens to have their own space to watch big screen TV and play table games for day time and early evening recreation. Two hot tubs means most everyone who wants to soak will find hot tub space at any given time. The luxury of 3 kitchens means that separate families can separately prepare food and convene for group meals. A piano is furnished as an added attraction for groups - there is always someone who plays the piano and always many who love to sing along with a piano player.
This Taos cabin, guest house and log home vacation spot is a gem of a find in the Premiere Properties Taos Vacation Rentals inventory. We promise, you will run home and delight friends and family with photos and tales of your Taos lodging experience at El Salto Log Home Compound whether you stay in the optional private cabin, optional guest cabin, optional log home or the entire compound.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
Why Premiere Properties chose Taos
Our family had skiied the world class Taos Mountain for years and visited Taos for as many summers (8 to be exact) when we heard about this incredible mountain setting in the tall pines with a beautifully designed and built log home located exactly half way between Taos Ski Valley and the quaint historic village of Taos, NM (10 country road miles each way). It sounded too good to be true. We poked around, found the seller and purchased this dream home compound all within one week.
What makes this house unique
We fell in love with the overall ambiance that only a log home offers. The added bonus were the two cabins in the same setting. One directly adjacent and the other privately situated at the base of the drive way. The giant view deck off the living room / dining room was an added perk along with the covered back mountain view deck. These two features add a wealth of optional all weather living space and entertaining possibilities. In addition to these important amenities was the location - half way between the two vacation attractions - Taos Ski Valley and the historic villate of Taos, NM. 15 to 20 minutes max in either direction. Country roads all the way. We knew it couldn't get better than this!

After our visit to The House of Mary, we went to the ancient Roman ruins in Ephesus. These ruins once were a thriving city for the Romans in the 2,3, and 4th centuries A.D. The 2,3, and 4th centuries A.D. were this city's most impressive and the location of Ephesus was key in the success of the city. It was also the 3rd largest city of Asia Minor at the time. The ruins have impressive structure even today and feature signature Roman statues, columns and stone streets.

Ghost AMR Riot Lector 7 - Review
"There's a lot to like about this bike if finding flow on trails that don't ask you to let it all hang out in order to clean them is what you're into, or at least ride them competently, and someone who knows what they're doing is going to have the snappy little Ghost in all sorts of interesting places on the trail." Huh?

Interview: Manon Carpenter - 2014 DH World Champion
I think that female athletes from all sports earn less than men, even globally, and in other professions as well. It's not really a surprise to hear that DH has lower earnings for women, which is too bad given how hard they work for it. But there is no reason a motivated woman couldn't do something about it, and really increase her popularity and earnings if that was where her ambition truly was. I guess racing is more important than marketing for most. That keeps such a small sport pure and as a fan I appreciate their dedication and integrity. Does anyone wonder if a woman was competing in slopestyle and freeride events (like Gee and Fairclough, etc) how much her sponsorship value would go up? I for one would watch a web series following a top woman rider. Some sponsor should make it happen next year.

No, that's the way the rims look brand new. Enve does as little as possible cosmetically to their rims. What you are seeing is the parting line between the two halves of the mold. I used to work there making the molds. Their bars, post, stems etc are all sanded and painted though.

ENVE M60 Forty Wheels - Review
I have the 240's and they have been great for two years without problems, and I like that my freehub is really quiet. My son has a 240 rear hub and it's super loud. I don't know if it's an optional freehub, or different grease, etc

ENVE M60 Forty Wheels - Review
I just had to do that a few weeks ago. I had to remove the tire, tape, and sealant. I had to buy new tape and sealant, plus a special spoke wrench. It was quite the ordeal just to fix my rear tire rubbing the chainstay! They do go up hills easier, though. I feel my 26AM were a huge improvement on ride quality and enjoyment, but not enough to pay what they're asking. If I hadn't gotten special treatment, I would be rolling on Derby rims. I just put a Ripley 29 on layaway and I think the derby rims would lace up nicely on the DT Swiss 240 hubs (mine are six bolt disc mount). If only someone wanted 26" Enve rims I could practically pay for the new bike!!!

Video: A Girl And Her Bike Are A Wonderful Thing Part Two
I think you missed the point of the intro, Briana. What I took from it was, "Here is what society thinks I should be." then it shows her on the bike giving the message, "This is who I want to be!" And even if I'm wrong, there is inherently nothing wrong with her expressing her sexuality or the naked human body. Only stupid institutions like religion and conservative society try to apply shame to the human body or the act of sex. Lighten up a little.

Published by Warner, Developed by 5th Cell
Genres: Puzzle / Action (1-4 players)
US release date: Nov 18th, 2012 | EU release date: Feb 8th, 2013
A solid game despite its simplicity.
Review written by
Matt Hutton
March 25th, 2013
Scribblenauts Unlimited was born upon the premise that you can create anything you can imagine. This game has an enormous vocabulary of words as well as an object editor to make your ideas a reality. 5th Cell, the developer of Scribblenauts Unlimited, really has done a fantastic job of incorporating nearly everything imaginable into the game.
The story follows a boy named Maxwell, who has a notebook that magically creates any object he writes in it. Maxwell's parents decide to send him with his sister Lily to the city, to experience the real world. On their way there, the siblings encounter an old man. Maxwell pulls a trick on the man, giving him a rotten apple. In anger, the man puts a curse on Lily, which will gradually turn her to stone. Maxwell must use his notebook to do good deeds for others in order to receive Starites, which can be used to save Lily. The story is quite simple, but it is presented well. You could say the story takes a back seat, but in a cartoony, light-hearted game like this it doesn't really need to shine.
The gameplay revolves around helping other characters complete various tasks by creating an object or adding an adjective to a nearby object. The great thing about this mechanic is the vast number of ways to solve a problem. An early example of this takes place on Edwin's farm - there is a plant that needs water. The simplest solution is just to create water. A few more possibilities are to create a hose, a flood, or a rain cloud. The main problem with this is that it is so easy to use a simple object to solve the problem, preventing the game from having much of a challenge. Unless you force yourself to avoid the simple answer, you won't have much difficulty beating this game.
Aesthetically, Scribblenauts Unlimited is a very appealing experience. The worlds are vibrant and crisp, taking full advantage of the Wii U's capabilities. The cartoon-like art style is fantastic. The visuals remind me of the direction the Rayman series has taken with Rayman Origins and the upcoming title, Rayman Legends. The music is also beautifully done. Much of it sounds relaxing and friendly, which suits the tone of the game perfectly. When the levels change themes, the music always fits like a glove. The sound effects are also handled to a good standard. The gibberish voices and even the clicking sounds made when typing a word fit very well.
The game also features multiplayer and online modes. The multiplayer allows a friend to join in using a Wii Remote. It is nothing to be excited about, though, as it feels like it was tacked on at the end just to say that the game has multiplayer. Only player 1 can create objects or add adjectives. The online mode is a different story. It centers around the object editor, which can be used to modify existing objects into entirely new creations. These creations can be summoned in-game to complete tasks or just to have fun with. Players can share their created objects with others over the Internet. You can also search for items that others have made and download them to use in your own game.
There are other nice touches that help make Unlimited enjoyable. For instance there are a wide variety of characters you can play as. They all have the same capabilities, but it is still good to be able to customize your appearance. There are also a few clever pop-culture references to movies and books, such King Kong and Lord of the Rings. Maybe these things did not drastically improve the game, but they were enough to make me chuckle or remember a moment in the past.
Scribblenauts Unlimited is an inventive game that deserves a place in anybody's Wii U library. It is visually pleasing and has solid gameplay mechanics in place. The simplicity of the puzzles is the only the thing that holds it back from greatness. This is made up for by giving you the power to create anything and truly be unlimited.

Pasture fed chickens are cheap to keep. Just add water.
The eggs are a complete protein plus essential fatty acids and nearly all the essential vitamins.
They are a good source of minerals if it's in the soil. Certain gravels are a good source of minerals. Wood ashes are pure plant mineral. Add to soil.
Use sea salt and cut it with wood ashes. See salt contains all the trace minerals. Wood ashes are cheap. Salt does not affect blood pressure and is needed to produce the stomach acids that will tear down the glutens and complex proteins into amino acids that can be safely used by the intestines.
Grey or white hair or varicose veins, wrinkles or stroke are a warning of copper deficiency. Hd a stroke went to hospital and it cost insurance company $20,000. All the warnings of copper deficiency are obvious just looking at me. Twenty doctors did. Instead they seemed to think I had a statin deficiency.
I fully recovered and then got Dr. Wallach's "Rare Earths Forbidden Cures". Smoking depletes the bodies copper stores.
High blood pressure, cramps and twitches are a calcium deficiency.
Cardio myoapathy (heart attack) is a selenium deficiency.
Asthma is a magnesium, manganese and essential fatty acid deficiency. Eggs are good.
Jerry Lewis was fired for his Telethon after Dr. Wallach sent him information on how he had cured Muscular Dystophy with selenium supplementation.
Prostrate or cancer problems are a selenium deficiency. Proven in 1912. Thyroid issues are an iodine and selenium deficiency.
The poorest people in the world use seafood or wood ashes and clays to live to 100 or beyond.
Average age of Medical Doctors is 56. I'll visit the doctors for trauma. Nothing else.
Of course, I am guessing what your health issues might be. Titanium implants or staples have killed friends and are killing friends now. Doctors say they are inert a prescribe morphine even though it down't work.
Whatever your issue I'd wager it could be cleared up by the November election on the cheap. Getting healthy is easier if you are too poor for medical care. Especially with the information that is out there today.

Leaving tracks
Science Applications International Corp., the prime contractor for the computerized security system at the Olympics, is using a system developed by an Israeli firm to track more than 2,500 police and law enforcement vehicles deployed in Athens, Greece.
Officials can track every vehicle marked by the system by viewing its location on a laptop computer or large screen at more than 100 command centers, which feed into the central command post.
"Greek authorities wanted the ability to determine where their vehicles were for response purposes in case of incidents," said David Tubbs, a project director at SAIC, in a telephone interview from Athens Aug. 24.
Tubbs said he did not know if the marked vehicles were being used to protect dignitaries at the games. "That is up to the government," he said. "It's also up to the organizing committee. We don't tell them how to use it; we just give them the capability."
The vehicle identifier is provided by subcontractor Cellocator, an Israeli company that specializes in vehicle security, said John Gauss, a senior vice president at SAIC. The technology in the vehicle uses the Global Positioning System to send information via a preferred communications network to a control center.
Much of the technology at the Olympics is not new. Tubbs, a former FBI agent who worked at the Olympics in Salt Lake City in 1992 and was an FBI observer at the games in Atlanta in 1996, said the tracking system had been used in previous games. "The Olympics is not something [where] you want to test out new technology," he said.
Fly away
Beginning the week of Sept. 6, American Airlines' frequent fliers at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport will be able to join the Transportation Security Administration's pilot test of the Registered Traveler program.
Administered by EDS, the program is the last of five demonstrations to test iris scans and digital fingerprints as a way to match travelers with their documentation. Officials will gauge the program's speed, flexibility and reliability.
Rather than using smart cards to hold biometric identifiers, this program will use a secure hard drive, which airport officials can extract from the kiosk and store every night, EDS spokesman Bill Ritz said.
The test will occur at the airport lawmakers — who appropriate funds to such programs — use to commute to and from their home districts.
Golf for a cause
The Industry Advisory Council partners program raised $34,000 for injured soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., Aug. 20 during a golf tournament. The money will go toward events for Ward 57, where injured U.S. soldiers returning from Iraq are treated.
The proceeds will support a program that offers recuperating soldiers a weekly night out with their families and a steak dinner at Fran O'Brien's Stadium Steak House. The restaurant's owners, volunteers from the Department of Veterans Affairs and a group of Vietnam veterans coordinate the weekly events.
More than 150 golfers played at the event, and many others made contributions, said Kim Shackleford of the Ambit Group, one of the organizers.
"It was a really great turnout," she said. "It was a wonderful experience. We had such an outpouring from the community."
The Eastern Amputee Golf Association, a group that specializes in helping amputees play golf to enhance their quality of life, led clinics for soldiers attending the tournament.
Two wrongs
Homeland Security Department officials are sorting through no-fly lists to ensure that innocent travelers, including Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), do not accidentally appear on the lists. Now they must clear the name of one of their own.
Jim Williams, director of the U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology program, was mistakenly placed on the no-fly list, said US-VISIT spokeswoman Anna Hinken. Williams is not on the list, she said, but he signed up to participate in the Registered Traveler pilot program. n

Most people immediately assume someone working in the US Army does combat or engineering, but there are a vast and unique set of science skills among those who serve. An Army veterinarian discusses his journeys around the world studying zoonotic diseases, infections that jump from animals to humans, including influenza A virus subtype H5N1.
Lieutenant Colonel Sam Yingst, PhD, is the chief of the US Army's Epidemiology and Disease Surveillance Department and studies many zoonotic diseases worldwide and assists those in developing countries with their research.
When people think of the fastest animals, most consider running cheetahs, flitting hummingbirds, or jumping kangaroos. But there's a level above what we think of as "fast": Ultrafast organisms conserve energy and move in nano- or even micro-seconds.
Dr. Sheila Patek discusses her research with two ultrafast creatures: mantis shrimp and trap-jaw ants.
In this Science Hangout, two animal behaviorists, Marian Wong of University of Wollongong in Australia and Peter Buston, PhD, of Boston University, explain to associate editor Katie Burke, PhD, that the clownfish behavior in the Disney-Pixar film Finding Nemo is completely off the mark.
The formation of tiny particles of pollutants in the atmosphere, raindrops in a cloud, and cosmic dust share common physics, closely related to a process called nucleation, the means by which molecules begin to form solids. The key unknown is the physics and behavior of nanoclusters that are far more complex than a single molecule, yet not big enough to be considered solids or liquids. Davide Lazzati, PhD, discusses his research on cosmic dust and how additional findings can improve the current theory's performance and ability to predict the properties and formation of nanoparticles.
There is little truth to the saying "what you don't know can't hurt you" when it comes to infection with bacteria in the genus Bartonella. Over two decades of research, veterinarian and professor of medicine Ed Breitschwerdt of North Carolina State University has shown that these bacteria can infect humans and other mammals, and in turn, cause a variety of perplexing symptoms.

Mortaza destroys Kenya
15 Aug 2006
Sean Bennett
A destructive 6 for 26 from quick bowler Mashrafe Mortaza helped Bangladesh complete a series whitewash in their ODI series against Kenya.
The Kenyan batsmen never had any control in their innings, managing neither to score at a decent run rate off any of the tourists bowlers nor keep the predatory Mortaza at bay, and only managed to set Bangladesh a total of 119 to win.
The signs were ominous for the hosts straight away, as left armer Syed Rasel swung the first ball of the game into Kennedy Otieno's pads to remove the opener and justify Khaled Mashud's decision to insert the hosts, having won the toss. Spin was introduced to the innings early when Mohammad Rafique came on to bowl the 7th over, and bowled straight through all three powerplays. The batsmen Maurice Ouma and Malhar Patel worked hard to solidify the innings, but Rafique managed to bowl Ouma, pushing forwards, with the score on 35.
Then came Mortaza. His introduction had an immediate effect. His fifth ball trapped Patel lbw. Steve Tikolo and Tanmay Mishra briefly threatened to counter attack, aided by some chances going down. However, their innings' were all too brief. Mortaza claimed Tikolo, caught at midwicket by Abdur Razzak, then coaxed Mishra into playing onto his stumps in the next over. Kenya were reeling at 67-5. And it got worse.
The last thing Kenya needed was a poor umpiring decision. Sure enough, Collins Obuya was given out to a disputable lbw call, gifting Mortaza his fourth wicket. Brijal Patel proved to be the fifth in no time at all, edging an away swinger to Farhad Reza at slip. Thomas Odoyo was fast running out of partners - Nehemiah Odhiambo recorded a second ball duck, Abdur Razzak taking the wicket for a change - but Peter Ongondo stuck around to record a ninth wicket stand of 21. Mortazawas having a brilliant day, though, and he ended Odoyo's resistance of 29. Syed Rasel claimed Ongondo and Kenya had been bundled out for a pathetic 118.
Bangladesh's reply started decently, but a small collapse of 4 wickets for 18 runs in 32 balls gave them a scare. Ongondo claimed 2 of them in quick succession, but Saqibul Hasan and Farhad Reza produced an unbeaten partnership of 65 to see the tourists home and round off their first series win away from Bangladesh.
Kenya 118
Thomas Odoyo 29, Malhar Patel 15
Mashrafe Mortaza 6-26, Syed Rasel 2-18
Bangladesh 120-4
Farhad Reza 41*, Saqibul Hasan 25*
Peter Ongondo 2-37, Thomas Odoyo 1-20
Bangladesh win by 6 wickets

Rookies reported Sunday and will open camp with a practice session Monday. Veterans report Wednesday and practice Thursday. All players are expected to report on time.
Counting on rookies to make an instant impact is risky, and typically ends in disappointment. There are exceptions to that rule, and Ingram could be one of them. The Chargers are desperate for a dynamic pass rusher off the edge, and the first-round pick out of South Carolina needs a productive camp to instill the confidence necessary for the coaching staff to turn him loose.
The Chargers, for all the movement they've made in free agency, for every veteran and rookie added, say they've still preserved a quality they desired back in January when this offseason began.
From www.utsandiego.com
The Chargers cut the ribbon on training camp this week with a machete. Now they can use it to start hacking at the forest of question mark flora (Boltum Enigmatica) planted over the past several months by A.J. Landscaping Inc.'s general manager. The facility is overrun with them.
From www.utsandiego.com
On July 28, Chargers fans can get their first look at the 2012 version of the team at the first of 10 training camp practices that are open to the public.
