Siemens Pumps $1.3 Billion Into Gas Turbines to Fend Off GE
Siemens AG has earmarked more than 1 billion euros ($1.3 billion) to expand production of gas-turbines and fend off General Electric Co. as they jostle for share of the expanding market.
A "genuine boom" is under way in some regions, with the gas-turbine market growing more than 9 percent annually in the Commonwealth of Independent States, Roland Fischer, the head of Munich-based Siemens' Fossil Power Division, said in an interview. The division generated 14 percent of Siemens's total 74 billion euros in revenue last year.
Siemens, which claims the No. 1 spot in larger, flexible turbines, is betting rising U.S. shale-gas output and its focus on gas-turbines will help it outflank GE and Alstom SA, which focused more on steam-turbines. U.S. spending on upgrading power plants to meet tighter emission rules may touch $100 billion, and falling gas prices will likely tempt utilities away from coal, said Peter Reilly, an analyst at Deutsche Bank.
"We believe our technology is two to three years ahead of the competition," Fischer said by phone on Jan. 17. "Competition is tough. It's been hard work to get where we are today. Our rivals are surely not happy. We will do our utmost not to allow anyone to take that position from us." His unit added 3,000 employees in the past 1 1/2 years, Fischer said.
Statistics on turbine suppliers are compiled by McCoy Power Reports. Since 2003, GE has averaged 44 percent of the market for 20 megawatt or more plants, though a single large order could swing annual market share figures, Paul Browning, president of thermal products at GE's energy division, said in an interview. Figures for 2011 will be released around March, and McCoy declined to give details before then.
Profit Generator
Fossil power-generation, the largest of Siemens' 10 main divisions, has long been an earnings driver and a swelling order book will help offset sluggish demand in areas such as health-care equipment. Under Fischer, sales last year rose 6.8 percent to 10.2 billion euros and earnings jumped 85 percent to 2.83 billion euros, eclipsing the entire profit produced by the Munich-based company's health-care operation.
Chief Executive Officer Peter Loescher is banking on energy products to help push sales past 100 billion euros. The company is expanding gas-turbine factories in Charlotte, North Carolina and Berlin, as well as building new ones in Saudi Arabia and St. Petersburg, Russia. Northeast Asia, including China, and the Middle East will also show above-average growth in gas turbines going forward, Fischer said.
Crack Cocaine
Siemens, which has about 1,300 gas turbines installed, has almost doubled its market share to 40 percent in larger turbines with power output exceeding 100 megawatts in recent years, Fischer said, without giving a specific time frame.
"They are clean to operate and cheap and quick to build, that's how gas-fired power plants became, as one utility executive put it, the 'crack cocaine' of the power industry," said Martin Prozesky, a Sanford C. Bernstein analyst.
Alstom today reported a 20 percent gain in thermal-power orders, helped by gas-turbine orders in Iraq and the U.S. It booked orders for 13 turbines in the first nine months of its current fiscal year, compared with nine in the entire previous year. Alstom in September said it's targeting U.S. orders in the U.S. with a new turbine, and CEO Patrick Kron today said he is considering entering the Chinese market.
Emissions Boost
The German company spent a decade and 500 million euros on developing its flagship turbine for the so-called H-Class market. Siemens has had the minimum 10-unit-a-year market to itself while Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. and GE developed their own offerings, Fischer said.
Mitsubishi has been testing it's "J-Series" since February 2011. It has sold eight of the turbines, the first of which will begin commercial operation in 2013.
"We expect to sell additional J-Series turbines within the next few months," said Takao Tsukui, director of business development at Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas. During the next few years, Mitsubishi plans to produce as many as 50 gas turbines per year, including the J-Series, Tsukui said.
Nuclear Fallout
As well as replacing aging power plants, the turbine market is also driven by stricter legislation on emissions, with gas being a lower carbon polluter than coal. That will ultimately lead to half of all U.S. coal plants being upgraded or replaced, Deutsche Bank's Reilly said.
"Over the next decade, unconventional gas is going to become a major source of fuel around the world," GE's Browning said. "That's a near enough timeframe that customers are going to start betting on it now."
GE in September told investors its goal for the energy division, the Fairfield, Connecticut-based company's largest industrial unit, expects about $45 billion in sales this year, with a goal of more than doubling that over the next decade.
Siemens is also poised to benefit from growing resistance against nuclear power, said Bernstein analyst Prozesky. Germany has opted to shutter its atomic sites by 2022 and China halted new projects after Japan's Fukushima nuclear disaster.
In the U.S., the gas glut created by the development of shale gas reserves is set to push the gradual transition toward gas-powered plants.
"Gas-power plants have been cheaper and faster to build for some time now, but what's really changed is that the fuel cost with a $3 Henry Hub price is now also cheaper than coal," said Heenal Patel, a Bloomberg Industries Analyst. "It's this fact which may impact most on U.S. utilities coal plant retirement plans."

The results of the study, based on the data collected from 60 children aged one year, were recently published in the British medical journal "Clinical & Experimental Allergy": It was found that children with skin manifestations, such as atopic dermatitis or cradle cap, have increased levels of eosinophil progenitors in their blood. In this connection, it was shown for the first time that children already afflicted show particularly sensitive reactions when exposed to environmental contaminants: The offspring of families exposed to significant levels of volatile organic compounds (VOC) at home were found to have considerably higher allergy-relevant eosinophilic/basophilic progenitor cell levels. "That VOCs, large amounts of which are released with cigarette smoke, have the greatest effect on stem cells was not entirely unexpected", explains Dr. Irina Lehmann. "Just as important, however", adds Dr. Kristin Weie, is "that we can show that alterations in the number of stem cells as a result of harmful substances take place only in children who have already been afflicted with skin manifestations." This leads to the conclusion: There is a relationship between the genetic predisposition for a disease and environmental influences there are environmental and life style factors which determine whether a genetic predisposition is in fact realised or not.

In the UNC study, 115 undergraduate nursing students were first given a questionnaire that asked about the participants prior level of contact with people with anorexia nervosa. Then each was given a one-page information sheet. Roughly half received an information sheet that emphasized what is currently known about the biological and genetic contributions to the development of the disorder. The other half received an information sheet that emphasized sociocultural explanations for the causes of the illness.
After the students read the information they were given a second questionnaire in which they were asked to indicate on a seven-point scale the extent to which eight factors contributed to the development of anorexia. These factors were poor living habits, parenting, biological factors, lack of social support, self discipline, societys thin ideal, genetic factors and vanity.
The questionnaire also asked other questions intended to measure the participants attitudes toward people with anorexia, including whether or not they would sign a petition asking insurance companies to provide equal coverage for anorexia as they do for other medical conditions.
The results showed that individuals in the group given the sociocultural explanation were more likely to agree with the statement, They are to blame for their condition. They were also more likely to agree that parenting, vanity and lack of social support were causes of anorexia nervosa.
The study concluded that people who were presented with even minimal information about the biological and genetic underpinnings of (anore

Adviceonhearingaids.com features real-life experiences from hearing aid users.
(PRWEB) May 10, 2010 -- With all the hearing aids available in today's marketplace, how does one make an educated purchasing decision? Thanks to Adviceonhearingaids.com, consumers may now decide based on the best information available: unbiased user reviews.
"A manufacturer can explain the nuances of a hearing aid in a detailed a manner, but that does not reveal the real-life benefits or drawbacks of the particular product," says Dr. Kelly C. Calkins, AuD, director of Adviceonhearingaids.com provider relations.
Adviceonhearingaids.com moderators aim to remedy that problem. Visitors discover which aids are uncomfortable or overly sensitive to background noise. They browse through posts that explain which aids may be difficult to calibrate, and they view the ones that vastly exceed expectations. To ensure the sharing of completely unbiased opinions, the site offers no hearing aids for sale.
Instead, advancements in audiology technology are discussed by the people whose opinions matter most – wearers of the hearing aids themselves. Expert opinions on hearing aids and cochlear implants are prevalent and encouraged, and the sense of community fostered by online message boards pervades the site, which is free to navigate. A trusted provider network that stretches nationwide is shared as well.
"This is a one-stop information portal for those who face hearing challenges," Alkins says. "It is designed to educate and inform – and hopefully help."

Lesbian Access to
Donor Insemination
Although donor insemination is essentially a simple procedure that has been medicalized, little is known about DI outside medical settings, and even less has been documented. The aura of secrecy that surrounds the medical practice of insemination has served to hide the evidence of male infertility in heterosexual couples and to limit public discussion of its important social and political ramifications. The tendency toward secrecy, and the widespread cultural preference for heterosexual couples as the ideal parental configuration for assisted reproduction, have meant that for lesbians (and single heterosexual women), access to DI through Westernized medical channels is extremely limited or nonexistent. For the same reasons, self-insemination has been a virtually invisible method of conception but one practiced increasingly by single women of heterosexual and lesbian persuasion (at least those living in Western liberal democracies).
The initial association of DI with medical practice and the married state continues and has influenced the formulation of criteria for the evaluation of recipients. As might be expected, these criteria tend to reduce or eliminate the chances of insemination for women who are not linked through a marital or common-law union to an infertile male partner. In the literature on single motherhood by choice (including DI as one reproductive option), the term "single women" includes a number of disparate groups, making meaningful comparison of research findings difficult. "Single" is commonly used to denote unmarried, never-married, sepa-

Local officials proclaim October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month
PALM CITY - It all started with one day in 1981 known as the "Day of Unity." That day became a nationally designated awareness month by Congress in 1989, and this year, officials from the City of Stuart and Martin County are proudly recognizing Domestic Violence Awareness Month this October right here on the Treasure Coast.
SafeSpace is a local nonprofit and the only certified domestic violence outreach center on the Treasure Coast. SafeSpace's CEO Jill Borowicz reported that there were 541 incidents of domestic violence, seven forcible domestic violence rapes and two domestic violence murders over the last year in Martin County. She added that when it comes to domestic violence, it's estimated that only 50 percent of incidents are ever reported, so these numbers may actually be much higher in our communities.
Nationally, champions of the effort to end domestic violence join together every October with health care providers, business leaders, policy makers, faith-based groups, college students and others at events and activities designed to educate the public about domestic and sexual violence. Locally, there are many opportunities for the community to take a stand against domestic violence by partnering with SafeSpace.
The saying that you can't understand another person's experience until you've walked a mile in their shoes comes to life each year when SafeSpace hosts its "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes" events across the Treasure Coast. The events ask men to walk one mile in four-inch high-heeled shoes, and while most men quickly realize it's not easy walking in these shoes, it's a light-hearted way to get the community talking about something that's otherwise difficult to talk about: domestic violence.
The walks, which raise funds and awareness to support outreach programs and services for victims of domestic violence, will be held in Martin, St. Lucie and Indian River counties on Oct. 5, 12 and 26 respectively. Registration for the walks as individuals or as teams is available at http://www.safespacefl.org.
Borowicz is accepting the proclamations from the government agencies with a charge to the community. "Domestic violence can happen to anyone. It could be happening right now to a family member, a friend or a neighbor," she said. "SafeSpace can help, but it needs the community's assistance to meet its mission. Please come out and walk or cheer on the good men of Martin County while they stand up against domestic violence at our Walk A Mile In Her Shoes on October 5."
About SafeSpace
SafeSpace is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which offers victims of domestic violence safety, support, and education to empower them and provide the assistance necessary for them to set a positive direction for their future. Shelter facilities for victims are located in Martin and Indian River counties and serves victims throughout the Treasure Coast. SafeSpace will never deny services to victims of domestic violence and their dependents based on race, gender, age, religion, political belief, national origin, immigration status, physical or mental disability, marital status, sexual orientation or language spoken. To learn more about SafeSpace please visit http://www.safespacefl.org, call 772-223-2399 or connect with SafeSpace on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/safespacefl.

US Navy set to make futuristic unmanned helicopters
US Navy unveils a 5 yearlong programme to make drone-like unmanned helicopters costing about 100 million dollars. The helicopters will be capable of rescuing injured soldiers and deliver the supplies.
Rear Adm. Matthew Klunder, the Navy's research chief intends to deliver 5000 pounds of cargo with these helicopters, he consider this as a leap-ahead technology.
The system was successful in the test runs held at Marine Corps base in Quantico, VA.
According to the Fox News, These autonomous helicopters will reduce the risk of casualties' soldiers face while delivering the supplies as ground convoys are easy targets for the enemies.
The Pantagon has set some guidelines, which restrains these autonomous helicopters to carry out 'kill missions' without any human involvement.

PHILADELPHIA - In efforts to find new treatments for Parkinson's Disease (PD), researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have directly reprogrammed astrocytes, the most plentiful cell type in the central nervous system, into dopamine-producing neurons. PD is marked by the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the midbrain. Dopamine is a brain chemical important in behavior and cognition, voluntary movement, sleep, mood, attention, and memory and learning.
"These cells are potentially useful in cell-replacement therapies for Parkinson's or in modeling the disease in the lab," says senior author John Gearhart, PhD, director of the Institute for Regenerative Medicine (IRM) at Penn. The team reports their findings in PLoS One.
"Our study is the first to demonstrate conversion of astrocytes to midbrain dopaminergic neurons, opening the door for novel reprogramming strategies to treat Parkinson's disease," says first author Russell C. Addis, PhD, a senior research investigator with IRM.
A Different Approach
Parkinson's affects different areas of the brain but primarily attacks the dopamine-producing section called the substantial nigra. Cells in this region send dopamine to another region called the striatum, where it is used to regulate movement. The chemical or genetic triggers that kill dopamine neurons over time is at the heart of understanding the progressive loss of these specialized cells.
As many as one million people in the US live with PD, according to the Parkinson's Disease Foundation. Symptoms include tremors, slowness of movements, limb stiffness, and difficulties with gait and balance.
Limited success in clinical trials over the last 15 years in transplanting fetal stem cells into the brains of Parkinson's disease patients has spurred researchers to look for new treatments. Using PET scans, investigators have been able to see that transplant

Hello, Does anyone face the same problems as me ? I have downloaded the latest version of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and I have downloaded and installed the last version of the template. I have set up the galleries of my website using : gallery_item_2.html to notice that the back and forth sliding buttons does not appear in Google Chrome making it impossible to see next/previous images… And I also keep having problems seing correctly the same page with the latest version of Internet Explorer : There is a huge white space appearing at the bottom of the gallery and the back/forth buttons are gone ! This webiste seems to work correctly only with Mozilla Firefox. I am using Windows 7…Thanks.
Please send more screenshots with details to my email. Thank you.
I just checked your online demo and when using Google Chrome the very same problem appear with : gallery_item_2.html , the gallery back and forth buttons does not appear ! It is impossible to view the images on the portfolio, only the first image appears…..
Do you mean that the buttons does not works on this page? http://creativepearl-html.weblionmedia.com/gallery_item_2.html
I see the buttons and for me works. Please send more details.
I mean that the buttons not even appear on the page when using Google Chrome and it is impossible to scroll the images
Forget about it I am going to change template..
As far as my concern the buttons does note even appear in Google Chrome making it impossible to scroll the images
Okay I have sent you the screen shots of Creative Pearl on Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Firefox, thanks.
I have bought your HTML template today at themeforest. It is still v1.0. The menu on the home page still hide behind the slider.And a third level is not possible. How can I fix it??? Thanks for your help.
Please send your site URL and I will debug. Do you got this bug on our demo site?
please check at test.hegewald.info . I have to say that it is running perfectly now. The menu error only exists in the internal browser of my html software. Sorry, to blame you. It all ok, now. Still the question left, how to manage a third level in the menu. Thanks for your help.
Hi, I have tested and can't duplicate the bug. What browser do you use?
Everything is ok. It is no bug, I have used the internal browser of phase5 software. But now it is on the server and runs well. Thank you.
I really can't figure out how the 'Gallery with filter' works. For example i changed some 'pic_gallery' pictures into 'real' pictures, but the wrong (large) 'pic_popup' pictures appear. It doesn't make sense to me at all. It would be logical when you click on a 'pic_gallery_1_1' picture, to get the large 'pic_popup_1_1' picture. Can you tell me please how this works? Is it possible to add quite a number of pictures? Before i purchased this template extensive documentation was promised, but i only have a html-file as a documentation, which is fairly small. Is there any other documentation? Where can i check which version i have? Thanks for your help!
This is a html template and you need to have html/css knowledge to work with it. In portfolio html file, you have to change just title, description and image path with your details. In documentation file is wrote the version number, anyway was released only one template version.
Best regards, Weblionmedia
I made a mistake. I finally discovered how it works. I'm certainly not a pro, but i know a little html and css. Enough to change things and so far i really like the results. Can you tell me how i can change the size of the pictures (thumbnails)in the 'Gallery with filter'. Pictures with different aspect ratio are all showed with 350px width. I do have panoramic pictures and lots of portrait pictures (instead of landscape). Fortunately the enlargements do have the original aspect ratio. When you have for example a maximum of 5 pictures in a category and you click on the button 'view more photos', you get duplicates of the same 5 pictures. Is it possible to maximize the amount of pictures to the actual amount after clicking on 'view more photos'? I hope you know what i mean…. Thanks for your help!!
Is it possible to reply on the above message, please? Thank you!
Thank you very much for fixing the problem with the "Our Projects" thumbnails in Index_2.html when viewed in Internet Explorer 11, I just downloaded and installed the last update (18th February 2014) and it now worked perfectly. I imagine that the screen shots I mailed you a couple of weeks ago did contibute a little.. Have a nice day
For sure. Thank you. Have a nice day too
Hi! I can't seem to change the creativepearl logo with one of my own. I have uploaded and selected the logo image I want to use, but it is not updating on my site. Is there something I'm missing? Can you give me a step by step?
Hi, I don't see the badge of purchasing the theme. Please send a message via our Profile page on TF and I will verify. Thank you.
Viewed on a smaller resolution (for example 1366 width) the slides on index_2.html are cropped. The size of the 'border' seems to be responsive, but the picture inside is not. Part of it is lost. Is there some kind of resolution? Thanks again!
Open the file "/layout/style.css", find the line:
.block_slider_home .flexslider .slides img {width:auto; height:405px; margin-left:-212px;}
and replace it with this one:
.block_slider_home .flexslider .slides img {width:100%; height:auto;}
Best regards, Weblionmedia
Works fine! Thank you.
11 days ago i send a message on which you haven't replied yet.
Message: "Can you tell me how i can change the size of the pictures (thumbnails) in the 'Gallery with filter'. Pictures with different aspect ratio are all showed with 350px width.

I'm sorry, but I can't find the email from you. Please send the exact image dimensions that you want to have. It's not so easy to change, because it requires a lot of changes in css and php, but I will try to guide you.
Best regards, Weblionmedia
The exact dimensions could be 232×350 (portrait) and 232×657 (panoramic). If possible in a mix with the 'normal' 350×232 (landscape) thumbnails. So the idea is to have the 'Gallery with filter' with mixed thumbnails (in different aspect ratio's).
Other issue: when you have for example a maximum of 5 pictures in a category and you click on the button 'view more photos', you get duplicates of the same 5 pictures. Is it possible to maximize the amount of pictures to the actual amount after clicking on 'view more photos'?
Thanks again!
Is not possible to display mix pictures.
The featured image that is set do not upload again in "Portfolio Options" gallery. Actually you can upload unlimited images in the gallery. What theme version do you use?
Thanks again. I use the CreativePearl html version, if that's what you mean. I found a way to use mixed pictures. For portrait i use a height of 232 px, for panoramic pictures a width of 350 px. I gave the remaining space the background color. I'm happy with the result.
Along the way i'm facing some other issues. When i choose in 'Gallery with filter' option 'All' (so i like to view all the pictures in different categories), and i click on the 'view more' button of a random picture, the larger picture is shown. With the arrow button you can view the next picture. The point is that you can show only the pictures of the category from which you used the 'view more' button. So initially i chose to view 'all' pictures, but only the pictures of a certain category are shown. Is there a way to show all the pictures?
I hope you don't mind that i'm asking all these questions….. Thanks!
Can you please tell me how the block_header_search works? Thanks.
i mean: is it possible to type keywords en (search) link them to pictures?
You have to include PHP script to make it to work.
text sliding out animation on gallery html is work well on android phones ( samsung , sony ) but iPhone & iPad didn't.

Hi, I am building the site for a client who bought the theme, I just have one very simple question,
I need to increase the width on the menu on the me page I had a look at the CSS but mussed have missed the code.
If you could tell me how that would be great. Awsome Theme by the way
In the css file /layout/style.css find the css code
#header .section_top { height: 88px; background: url(images/bg_header_top.jpg) repeat-x left bottom #fbfbfb; }
I am facing issues with the resolution. I have created my website as www.viragvision.com. When I open my website on a laptop then the website is viewed properly but when on a 21 inch monitor then the website resolution gets stretched images get too much enlarged and the alignment changes.I want the alignment to be centred leaving empty coloumn space at right and left so that even though the browser is fullscreen or not the website is displayed properly. Moreover the site works well on chrome but in IE it has many issues regarding to the visibility. Please suggest i am stuck.
Hello. Please, write me using the contact form in my profile. There we could take a look to this closer. I will reply to your email, I will need a few screenshots for this issue. Thank you.
My html5.js is not loading. in IE8 i am website is not loading properly many functions are not loading www.viragvision.com. Please let me know what is to be done. Also for earlier issues let me know your email id so that i can mail you the screenshots pertaining to the size/resolution issues.
I got your email, will contact you via email to get more details. Thank you.
I have been successful in revising everything, except I am unfamiliar with ajax. In the file "main.js" line 181 you reference "instead of this do ajax request and get new elements-this line only for demo". Being that I purchased the product and this is no longer a demo- where is the ajax code that will enable me to change the images that are currently being cloned and appears after the "view more photos" button is clicked? Thank you! Love this site by the way.
Hi. Please give me more details, I am bit confused and don't understand the question.
On the gallery with filter template at the very bottom there is a "view more photos" button which should add new photos to the bottom of the page. However, currently it is cloning the same photos as those posted above, and I need to replace them with new photos, not the same identical ones. In the code it references ajax and the notation above that it is for "demo only". I purchased the template, so it no longer is a demo- where do I find the ajax code to replace this line so it brings in new photos?
Hi, there is used JavaScript, jQuery and AJAX. So you or your developer need to have these knowledge to implement them into the site.
That is fine…I will modify the code, please provide me with the AJAX code you are referring to.
Please contact me via our Profile on ThemeForest and I will send the files with AJAX from WordPress version.
I am having problems with the home style 1. Those thumbnails couldn't be click with android phone. I tested with samsung s3 and s5 and they doesnt response. However they works on Ipad and iphone works.
The logo which I uploaded looks fuzzy on mobile devices but looks good on desktop. Although it is a responsive template, I find that it does't auto resize my logo when viewed on mobile device. In the end I have the make my logo real small in order to fit mobile device but they look small on desktop.
What can be done? Please help ASAP. Thank you.

Instead of
var content = jQuery('.blog-row-item' ,container).clone();
You can do :
var content;
jQuery.get("/request/request.php?id_site="+idSite+"&id_type="+idType+"&pagenum="+pageNum, function(data){
content = jQuery(data);
jQuery(target).isotope('insert', content);
jQuery('.blog-load-more').text('Voir plus de page');
if (pageNum > maxPages) {
jQuery('.blog-load-more').text('Vous avez vu toutes les pages');
Kind regards

I currently own a RM Flatline for DH and a RM Altitude RSL for XC... But I can't keep both so I'm seriously considering an AM bike for occasionnal DH and all the other stuff...
That bike must be capable of occasionnal foray into DH trails like Mont-Sainte-Anne and Bromont, and yet still capable of pedalling efficiently and comfortably in XC-ish trails à la Kingdom Trails and other East coast singletrack stuff...
But there's so many offering in the 150mm-170mm range, I would love to have some suggestion.
So far, I'm very interested in building up a Nukeproof Mega. 150mm back, 66°HA, 75° STA... Looks like a good compromise.
Others bikes I'm seeking advices/reviews on are the following :
Trek Slash, Remedy,
Spescialized Stumpjumper EVO, Enduro
RM Slayer
And finally, anyone else made a similar move ? What bke did you picked ?

Manufacturing has widely adopted standardized and automated processes to create designs, build them, and maintain them through their life cycle. However, many modern manufacturing systems go beyond mechanized workflows to introduce empowered workers, flexible collaboration, and rapid iteration. Such behaviors also characterize open source software development and are at the heart of DevOps culture, processes, and tooling.

At the same time, budgetary constraints require that agencies find ways to decrease the cost of developing, maintaining, and running applications.

Dude…. you nailed the Sesame Street topic. Its like you read my mind. So glad I am not the only one who got punched in the emotional sack as well. Standing Ovation in the living room here.
The cost of living is increased because living now includes technology that we THINK we need. We as a society are shooting ourselves in the collective foot because we keep adding to our personal cost of living. For a one time fee of $20 give or take (for old school television) we can get FREE HD "entertainment" from an antenna that has more channel choices than basic cable (when you figure that about 2/3rds of the channels on basic cable are not worthy of being called entertainment).
We are still a nation of bigger, better, faster, more (yeah, 4 Non Blondes reference… choke it down and move on). Every 2 years we have to upgrade our toys. WHY???? When we look for someone to blame in our cost of living woes, we need but look in the mirror. We will not be a satisfied consumer society until we have consumed all… including ourselves.
And as the stream of consciousness flows… the whole tirade that led to HULK SMASH was HILARIOUS!!!!!!
Best show yet btw. Good job guys.

Taiwan director Niu wants to elevate Mandarin film
TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Golden Horse-nominated director Niu Chen Zer says he gets tremendous joy doing work he loves and he's found a new way to share it with the world.
His company, Honto Productions, is joining with another Taiwan-based film company, Atom Cinema, to release eight television and film projects over three years. China's Huayi Brothers will be an investment and distribution partner in the collaboration announced Sunday.
Niu said he will look for suitable projects as a producer and wants to help raise Mandarin-language films to the next level.
"I'm ready," Niu said. "For the rest of my life, other than making a few more good films, I want to share with others everything I know and the resources I have. I want to share it with the world."
The collaboration comes at a pivotal moment in Taiwanese cinema, which has made a comeback in recent years after a long period of poor performances at the box office. Niu said that through exchanges and collaborations between filmmakers in Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, he sees a better future for Mandarin-language films.
This announcement came a week before the Golden Horse Awards, which honor Mandarin-language films. Niu is a nominee for best director for "Love," which has three other nominations.
He was just 17 when he received his first Golden Horse acting nod for "Growing Up" in 1983, an experience he proudly called one of his most exciting and nerve-wracking.
"I didn't expect to win, nor did I want to win," he said. "However, as the date of the award ceremony approaches, you begin to have a lot of imaginations, thinking 'wouldn't it be nice if I win?' When you're sitting at your seat, it's very nerve-wracking. I remember that. Your heart is pounding, when they announce the winner and it's not you, it's like a rollercoaster ride. I remembered it well."
He said he loves his work, so any award he might receive is a "bonus."
