Retail Vs Digital loading speeds.
I read up on games like Wipeout having way longer loading times if installed to your memory card. Rather then getting the game card from the store. Any truth to this? And how much of a diffrence is there? I got money on my psn and dont want to get it if it effects game play alot. I would imagine it wouldnt be all that bad. Figured I would ask you guys first.
Re: Retail Vs Digital loading speeds.
I would imagine a downloaded game would load faster if by ever so slightly.
Reality though the games regardless what medium you purchase them through they should load at around the same speed.
This is because all game data is stored in exactly the same manner regardless of how you store it.(Thank god for Sony finally seeing the light and doing away with those UMDs)
Even if it did affect your load times it couldn't possibly be enough to matter. Unless you have some horrible disease where you're going to die in the next 5 hours in which case I suppose every second counts but then why are you on the forums waiting for an answer?

Thank you, Ran, for the kind compliments about my garden. I was most
unfortunate in not being here to meet you and many others in '97, but
hopefully this will be the year I can get to your garden and do some serious
study. My garden is a confection of ideas I have gleamed from veteran
gardeners like yourself.

We continue our position-by-position analysis of the four NFC East teams with a look at the Philadelphia Eagles' linebacker situation.
Projected starters: MLB DeMeco Ryans, SLB Mychal Kendricks, WLB Brian Rolle
Reserves: Jamar Chaney, Keenan Clayton, Moise Fokou, Akeem Jordan, Casey Matthews, Greg Lloyd
Potential strength: A unit that lacked any kind of experience in 2011 gets a big jolt of veteran leadership from the acquisition of Ryans. He was one of the best middle linebackers in the game until an injury prematurely ended his 2010 season and a scheme change in Houston limited his production last year and led the Texans to deem him expendable this offseason. Assuming he's healthy enough to be the player he was in 2009 and early 2010, Ryans will bring speed, tackling ability and badly needed competence to a linebacking corps that was one of the teams' most destructive weaknesses in 2011.
Potential weakness: Rolle is working with the starters at the weakside linebacker spot, but he's going to have to show improvement as a tackler in training camp if he wants to hold onto that job. Chaney, who has been a starter at the strongside and middle spots the past two years, has the speed and size to claim the spot if he takes to it in practice and Rolle keeps whiffing on tackles. The linebackers in the Eagles' "Wide-9" defensive scheme need to have enough speed to cover tons of room, but they also need to be able to wrap up in the open field. If Rolle is a liability in that area, the Eagles could find themselves mixing and matching at linebacker again.
Keep an eye on: Kendricks. It was his speed and athleticism that led the Eagles to select him in the second round of the draft in April, and they see him as an ideal fit in their defense. He will get every opportunity to win the starter's job on the strong side, and early reports from OTAs indicate that he's been one of the fastest players on the field and shown a nose for the ball. The Eagles obviously aren't afraid to throw a rookie into the mix as a starting linebacker. They did it last year, to their detriment, with Matthews. But Kendricks has more going for him right off the bat than Matthews ever did, and if he is the starter in Week 1 it won't be by default. It will be because the Eagles are excited about what he can do for them on defense right away.

A group of Norwood residents and officials are working to block a 296-unit affordable-housing project proposed on land designated for commercial use, saying the additional residents would put a huge burden on municipal services.
"It's a lot. How are we going to accommodate it?" said resident Robert Gawlak, who lives near the land formerly owned by Polaroid, where the development is proposed. He said the nearly 300 new homes would put a strain on the police, fire, and school departments, and exacerbate the traffic problems along that stretch of Route 1A.
The Campanelli company is looking to build Upland Woods, 11 three-story buildings of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments on 23.65 acres of vacant land.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Ground floor apartment in traditional Alpine style with stunning views of mountains and own patio and lawned garden. Sleeps up to 5 (double bed, double sofa bed and single sofa bed). Situated in a very peaceful location on the edge of the medieval village of Giez. Activities on site include tennis, 2 swimming pools, children's play area, table tennis and adjacent golf course. TV and DVD player.
France has been our favourite holiday destination for many years. It offers such a variety of activities from beach holidays to rural escapes and winter skiing. We initially considered moving to France as we love the way of life but family commitments meant this was not practicable. So instead we chose to buy a holiday property for our own use and to let to others. We continue to enjoy holidays in our apartment at various times of year and never cease to be impressed by the beautiful surrounding scenery. Each time we visit we find new things to do and new places to explore. The apartment is a real home from home, warm and comfortable with everything that one needs for a relaxing holiday.
Andy and Lesley Walker purchased this apartment in 2004
We love the location of our apartment because there are things to do all year round. In Winter it is in easy reach of a variety of ski resorts. What's more, there's plenty to do on non-skiing days as the small complex has its own indoor and outdoor swimming pools, sauna, a tennis court, petanque and a games room with table tennis, pool table and table football facilities. There is also play equipment on site for families with young children.
We bought 'off plan' which was fortunate as we were able to choose which apartment we wanted and we stood on the site armed with a compass to determine the perfect aspect - sun, privacy and stunning mountain views! We know that our apartment is unique on the complex and we believe it enjoys the best location!
This particular apartment is unique within the Le Birdie complex for the following reasons: the owners arranged with the architect, at the time of construction, to alter the original design so that there is a wider living area, a separate shower compartment as well as a standard-sized bath and shower and an additional door from the WC leading into the bathroom. Furthermore, this is the only apartment to have a garden with all day sun, benefiting from a greater degree of privacy than most of the other ground floor apartments and with outstanding mountain views.
Great little apartment with all the essentials. The website photos meant we knew what to expect and it did not disappoint. We loved the swimming pools, indoor and out meant our girls could swim whatever the weather. The only minor annoyance was the wi-fi was an extra charge and was only available in the pool/reception areas. Lots to explore in the area but we had fantastic August weather so enjoyed lounging around the pool and exploring the village. It was a comfort to have plenty of English speaking support should we have needed it. We all had a brilliant holiday.
Lovely compact apartment ideal for a couple. All your kitchen etc basics provided and local shops easiily accessible. Beautiful surroundings and lots of strenuous and not so strenuous activities in the local area. Further afield Mont Blanc is an (expensive ) must. Village is very quiet and peaceful. Complex pool is good and some activities arranged in the week. Thank you for a well organised stay.
we are cyclists and found this pretty much ideal for our needs, very clean and in an area full of scenery and interest, thanks Andy and Lesley.
This is a lovely little apartment on the edge of a small residential complex, in a hidden valley, close to Lake Annecy. It is on the edge of a beautiful village with fantastic scenery and walks.
There are 2 small towns within walking distance and the lake is 5 minutes drive away (or an easy bike ride). Although this area is more renowned for it's proximity to ski resorts, it is a fantastic place to visit in the summer with plenty to do and see.
The apartment was very clean and provided everything we needed. Comfortable bed, well equipped kitchen (including dishwasher) TV and DVD player.
Thank you Lesley and Andy.
This is the second time we have stayed in the apartment with our two girls. Both times we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay.We found it to be clean and very comfortable.We enjoyed breakfasts out in the garden under the sun umbrella enjoying the superb views.We enjoyed all the facilities the pool and tennis courts/ games room.
There is so much to do around and about. Montmin to watch the para gliders/ yellow boarding on Lake Annecy, bike riding on the cycle trail and markets galore.Late evening walks around the village of Giez was peaceful too.
Such a great place to stay and Andy and Lesley the owners (who we met last year) have been very easy to communicate with.
Would thoroughly recommend this little gem to anyone.
We had a wonderful stay in the apartment, it was very clean and tidy and lovely to have a patio area outside. The bed was comfortable and the water was piping hot. There are lots of walks from the apartment and we watched the cows going up and down the road each day! Its a very tranquil spot away from the road but easy accessible to Faverges the nearest town where we hired bikes for the day. There are some good restaurants around which we enjoyed. Would definitely go back again!
The apartment is in the Residence Le Birdie, a recently built holiday complex of approximately 100 apartments, tastefully constructed in the local traditional Alpine-style to blend in with the historic medieval village of Giez. The apartment is in a south-east facing corner plot benefiting from all day sun in its own private lawned garden with outstanding views of the surrounding mountains. On the site there is a heated indoor pool and sauna open all year round and an outdoor pool for use in the summer. There is also a tennis court, petanque lanes and an indoor games room. The property is located next to the beautiful 18 & 9 hole Golf de Giez with discounts offered to Le Birdie occupants. An excellent car-free cycle path linking Annecy to Albertville runs 1 kilometre from the apartment with outstanding lake views. The picturesque south end of Lake Annecy, with its beaches, lake cruises, boating and lake swimming in crystal clear water is a mere 5 minutes drive from the property. The town of Annecy, known as Little Venice due to its network of canals, is half an hour's drive alongside the length of the lake. The property is an excellent base for a large choice of ski resorts and other adventurous activities such as paragliding, hang-gliding, canyoning, mountain biking and hiking. The attractive small towns of Faverges & Doussard with a selection of supermarkets, restaurants, bakeries, shops, children's playground and weekly market, are both approximately 5 minutes drive away.

Why Are We Here in Earth School?
15 comments:
Hi Roy, I hope the New Year holds a few pleasant surprises for you. I am sure it does.ReplyDelete
Speaking of earth school. A few times in meditation I found myself involved in "Spirit" school. An activity on a different level, it was a classroom type setting with an instructor, questions and answers. Boy I wish I could link better with that memory. Thanks for reviving that experience for me. But my point is that at the very least there are some similar events occurring on other levels too.
I see you as as a "black hole" of sorts ....really absorbing a lot of new information at this time....Once that flow starts it can really occupy your thoughts. I am glad to see how much you enjoy this experience. Take care, looking forward to being there in Panama.

Hey Roy!ReplyDelete
Thanks for taking the time to share this with everyone. You have summed up everything that my guides have been telling me from day one. I believe every word of what your saying. Whats ironic, is for the last couple weeks I keep asking myself why I ever decided to return to Earth. I am only 21 years old, but I have always known I was a very old soul. Your post really helps me to understand that I am evolving spiritually everyday and perhaps I came back to help others, myself or both. Either way, we chose to be here, so we should enjoy every moment of it. It's amazing to me the difficulties that people know they are going to come across, yet still decide to return, because of love. Everything happens because of love.
Dear Mr. Roy NamasteReplyDelete
First of all let me thank you for your New Year wishes and for sending the gift of this News letter.May this New Year bring to you many more experiences which would help you, not only in your spiritual assent but also enlightenment.I totally agree with what Adraianne has said above.This blog has helped me to understand you better.I am glad to know that the idealogy of Sahaj Yoga is not different than yours. Yes, there is no doubt we all have come here for the same purpose, which many of us conveniently forget. Waiting for Miriam.See you soon.

I seem to be failing earth school miserably at this stage.ReplyDeleteReplies
Your interest in this type of self-improvement article and taking time to reflect on it and assess your progress and to respond, all point to the fact that you are trying to evolve - which is what school is all about: effort. Just because the lessons may be difficult, doesn't mean you're not putting in the effort. Seems that way to me, anyway. :)Delete

I'm trying hard to understand and accept the concept of soul growth after having been severely affected by a bereavement. I'd really like to believe in it. I think would be more understandable in the context of the 'average' person who suffers life's ups and downs and arrives in the afterlife somewhat probably relieved but ok and happy to be with their relatives after learning a lot. The main thing I'm struggling with is that the level of suffering that some people go through is unbelievable - things like victims of sadism, starvation, concentration camps, severe emotional and physical abuse, mental illness such as schizophrenia, extreme pain, etc. How could anyone /volunteer/ to live lives like that? It all seems too random for that, including which country you happen to be born in in a particular phase of history. If that's how things work then it seems unbearably cruel for some.ReplyDelete

Hi Everyone! I love the blog post on this page, it really clicked for me and makes a lot of sense. Thank you Roy.ReplyDelete
...I have been wondering, and I can't find anyone or anything to answer this... WHY do we even want to spiritually grow? What is the reason for spiritual growth?
If we chose to come here from heaven, wouldn't we already be complete in terms of spiritual growth. Isn't the concept of spiritual growth just an illusion of the manifestation of being human? I have heard a lot of people tell me that the point of this life is spiritual growth, and I've also felt like I have grown from experiences. Is there a need to spiritually grow in heaven?
I'm sorry if I'm not expressing this well, I hope I made some sense. Thank you! Any input is welcome:)
Much Love :)Replies
There is a chain of ascendance that leads through many realms of existence.Delete
We come to this realm from "heaven" - or the next dimension - because we have lost the ability to ascend from the next to the one after that.
We are bathed in light in the next realm and have created this realm to experience the problems inherent in this world (darkness).
Another way to look at it is: we are being refined and sharpened, gaining the experience needed to understand the balance of light and dark - good and bad.
This experience will allow us to continue our path of ascension.

I look back now at how my life has developed into what i am now....it is unmistakable that until i opened my mind enough to say the words, "I am god", the lessons that i was meant to learn were being shown to me over and over again in what id describe as an ongoing, rather stagnated, cycle of awareness courses.i understand now i was never going to get anywhere until i learned what i was meant to learn..as a result....one after another i increasingly bagan to notice certain knowledges in my possession or in my view, and i became highly interested...immediately things..past, present, future..., blended to form a compilation of many different concepts and views, elements and forms, that were nolonger different any more......but moreso they were connected ....connected in a way like how both the scapel that a doctor might use to disect is related to the engineers socket rench;tools used for a specific purpose in ones field of expertise.....it was truly an awakening that has remarkably transformed my thinking and the way in which i choose to explore my creations!!!

Takeaway: As for the fundamental reality of #InflationAccelerating's impact on growth, I don't think the market cares until it has to.
POSITIONS: 5 LONGS, 6 SHORTS @Hedgeye
Why the ramp right back to the all-time SPY highs? Surprisingly, there was a net short position (futures and options contracts) of 93,465 (Index + E-mini) in SPX on Friday's close. Unwinding some of that happens on green, not red.
As for fundamental reasons, evidently the machines still love the smell of Burning Bucks (Dollar Down again today) as the hyper-mo-mo SPX vs USD inverse correlation (15 days) has moved to -0.94.
As for the fundamental reality of #InflationAccelerating's impact on growth, like in Q1 of 2011 (when we made the same bearish call on US consumption), I don't think the market cares, until it has to (which can start from today's overbought price inasmuch as any other).
Across our core risk management durations, here are the lines that matter to me most:
- Immediate-term TRADE overbought = 1859
- Immediate-term TRADE support = 1816
- Intermediate-term TREND support = 1791
In other words, TREND support is -3.7% versus the price on your screen right now (#RealTimeAlert to short SPY = $186.11 at 12:19PM EST) , and I don't think it will take this market much (a down day will do) to re-test that level of 1791.
If the US government burns its currency like Venezuela did, the SP500 could be up another +450% from here. But don't worry about that. I'm sure that would be great for someone - just not for American GDP.

Takeaway: Management's strategic plan could do more harm than good.
I spent some time with my daughter at the University of Richmond this weekend and decided to take her and her three roommates out to dinner Sunday night. I suggested we go to Olive Garden! After a few strange looks, I had to explain it was part of a research project and, eventually, they agreed to go.
Just as we were being seated, one of my daughter's friends said, "This place looks like a cafe in a nursing home." Moving past the opening comment, the salad, bread sticks and calamari were a hit, but the pasta dishes, well, not so much – even for college kids on a meal plan.
Today, we woke up to the news that Starboard could potentially call a special meeting to halt the spinoff of Red Lobster. As we wrote in our note, "Clarence's Legacy, A Half-Baked Plan," back when the plan was announced, Mr. Otis' legacy will be defined by his unwillingness to make the changes necessary to create significant value for shareholders. We also expressed our concerns with management's plan because, to us, it made little strategic sense and didn't get at the heart of the problem.
Darden is still a company with an inefficient operating structure.
On the day Darden's strategic plan was announced, the stock closed down 4% to $51. This didn't exactly strike us as a vote of confidence in management's plan to create value. Two days later, Starboard Value announced a 5.5% position in the company and the stock rallied 6%. For the most part, the stock has traded sideways since then, until rallying 3% on the news that Starboard retained former Olive Garden president Brad Blum to serve as an advisor in its battle against Darden.
The takeaway from stock action and, in our opinion, sentiment since 12/20/13 is the stock rallies when there is movement toward replacing management and sells off when management publicly digs their heels in.
We've heard management talk about a plan to fix Olive Garden for five years now. After last night's experience, I can personally confirm (including three witnesses) that the chain continues to over promise and under deliver. The current team has had ample time to fix the brand and has failed miserably.
It is time for significant change at Darden.
To review, we've included our updated thoughts on why management's plan to spinoff Red Lobster makes very little strategic sense.
"Transaction transforms the portfolio into two independent companies that can each focus on separate and distinct opportunities to drive long-term shareholder value."
HEDGEYE – Our proposed plan transforms the portfolio brands into four independent companies that have leading market share in their respective categories. These NewCo's would be comprised of New Italian, New Seafood, New Steak and New Growth (Yard House, Seasons 52, Eddie V's, and Bahama Breeze). Each company will be driven by an intensive focus on a single operating priority and shareholder value creation.
According to Otis, the Old Darden had eight brands with "divergent operating priorities" and the New Darden will have seven. Despite admitting the company has divergent operating priorities, management wants us to believe spinning of the Red Lobster brand will solve this issue. They couldn't manage eight brands; we don't see why they'd be able to manage seven.
"Separation will allow New Darden and New Red Lobster to better serve their increasingly divergent guest targets."
HEDGEYE – What about the divergent guest targets among Olive Garden, Yard House, Capital Grille and so forth? A changing consumer dynamic creates the need for intensive focus on key guest targets; the New Darden is anything but focused. Our plan creates four operating companies focused on: Italian, Seafood, Steak and Growth. This would properly allow for intensive focus on guest targets and specific brand priorities in each respective category.
"Separate organizations enable New Darden and New Red Lobster to better focus on their divergent value creation levers."
HEDGEYE – This is nothing more than a bunch of filler. It's unnerving to think management believes they can spin this idea as a strategic plan. Leading full-service restaurant companies are vastly outperforming Darden because they are more nimble and have more focused operating models.
"Announced compensation changes for New Darden and planned program for New Red Lobster will result in appropriate incentives for management teams passionate about their respective businesses."
HEDGEYE – You don't need to split the company to do that. If the Old Darden wanted compensation closely tied to each respective business, this could've easily been enforced. Management teams shouldn't be in place if they aren't passionate about their business.
"Separation repositions the business to better serve differing shareholder investment requirements (growth and income vs. income/yield) and maximizes total shareholder value."
HEDGEYE – The guidance for the New Darden looks the same as the guidance for the Old Darden. We don't see how this strategic plan better serves the different investment requirements of its brands.
All told, the plan presented in December seems reactionary and hastily put together. It fails to address declining traffic, margins and relevance as well as potential solutions to these issues.
After a series of conversations with industry insiders and some independent thinking, we've concluded that Darden's strategic initiatives could actually end up destroying shareholder value.
Red Lobster may become less profitable and, as a result, less valuable.
By spinning off the Red Lobster brand, management is essentially kicking a brand that is already down. What message does this send to Red Lobster's rank and file employees? This decision could create a lot of angst among the employee base and could perpetuate underperformance. In fact, under this plan, the probability that the brand sees an accelerated decline in profitability increases significantly.
The plan does not address the issue of managing multiple brands.
This strategic plan fails to address Darden's largest issue: the portfolio is too large and too complex to perform. We believe its current multi-concept structure has created significant inefficiencies in the operating structure of the company.
Management's proposed initiative simply removes one underperforming brand from a large portfolio. Our plan to fix Darden organizes the portfolio in a way that would be beneficial to each NewCo.
Clarence is building a moat around his castle.
After years of underperformance, we'd expect someone to be held accountable. So Clarence has been deflecting blame and firing the people around him. He needs to be held accountable. He is the Chairman and CEO of a company that has struggled mightily over the past several years. When will he accept responsibility for his decisions?
They are not cutting unit growth or costs as aggressively as they should.
Darden plans to halt unit growth at Olive Garden for a few years, slow unit growth at LongHorn and slightly slow unit growth at SRG in FY14. This reduction in unit growth is expected to shave $100 million off of capital expenditures annually. We don't believe management wants to slow unit growth. Rather, we believe they are being forced to in order to maintain the current dividend. Darden should halt growth all together and address their issues before they exacerbate them.
Further, through support cost management, the team expects annual savings of $60 million beginning in FY15. This is up from the $50 million the company had previously announced. For a company riddled with excessive spending, we find it discouraging that management was only able to find an additional $10 million in annual cost savings. Management must cut costs more aggressively if they intend to unlock significant shareholder value.
There is no real plan to fix Olive Garden.
The company hasn't released any compelling details around fixing the Olive Garden brand. Considering the brand will make up approximately 60% of the New Darden, this should be their top priority. We've heard infrequently about the "Brand Renaissance" plan, but management has been rather quiet on this front for "competitive reasons." Considering its waning relevance, declining traffic trends and the addition of a cheeseburger to the menu, we believe the brand has lost its way.
Management has lost all credibility to hit targets.
This was evident during the most recent earnings call. One analyst, in particular, confronted management about this:
"It seems in the presentations that you gave us that the key to whether this could create value or not is on those operating income growth numbers, low to mid-teens at the New Darden and mid to high-single digits at the New Red Lobster. Why are those credible given the track record?"
We knew FY14 guidance was too aggressive and saw a massive miss coming in the first quarter. What we didn't see coming was management's reluctance to guide down FY14 numbers after this miss. After another disappointing performance in the second quarter, management was forced to guide down full year estimates. As a result of these massive misses, they are losing credibility from others on the street. If they don't hit the targets laid out in most recent earnings call, they will fail to create any shareholder value despite these strategic initiatives.

VFC - North Face Introduces Workout Gear to Shake Its Wintry Image
- "...North Face is making a big push into spring and summer gear—a strategic shift that will increasingly put it toe-to-toe with Nike, Adidas, and the rest of the world's biggest sportswear brands."
- "Next week, North Face will begin selling a line of lightweight apparel called Mountain Athletics, for training in warming temperatures. The offering will include only 16 styles, but the new line will anchor the biggest marketing campaign the company has ever produced in the first half of a year, according to North Face President Todd Spaletto."
Takeaway from Hedgeye's Brian McGough:
At face value, it doesn't make much sense for a brand called 'The North Face' to make apparel that will be worn when it's 80 degrees outside. Truth be told, if 99 out of 100 companies tried this, we would shrug it off.
But if there is one company that we would not count out of being able to make this work, it's VF Corp (maker of North Face).
More to be revealed. This is definitely an initiative we'll be watching closely.

European Financial CDS - It was a fairly uneventful week for EU bank swaps as the median change was zero basis points. #Steady as she goes.
Sovereign CDS – Sovereign swaps were flat to tighter around the world last week. Italian and Portuguese sovereign swaps tightened by -3.6% (-6 bps to 153) and -2.0% (5 bps to 254 bps). Spanish and German swaps were unchanged at 135 and 25 bps, respectively.
Euribor-OIS Spread – The Euribor-OIS spread widened by half a basis point to 15.4 bps. The Euribor-OIS spread (the difference between the euro interbank lending rate and overnight indexed swaps) measures bank counterparty risk in the Eurozone. The OIS is analogous to the effective Fed Funds rate in the United States. Banks lending at the OIS do not swap principal, so counterparty risk in the OIS is minimal. By contrast, the Euribor rate is the rate offered for unsecured interbank lending. Thus, the spread between the two isolates counterparty risk.

That's pretty adorable, especially when there is a lot of scope to re-use old stuff or to make creative use of leftovers from previous projects. Those, blues, whites, and pop of yellow work will do for sure.↓

Thanks so much, Bob! We love it too. Although it's not seeing much action this winter. Can't wait to get it out there again once it warms up.
Where is this furniture from?? (Love love love the rug!)↓
DIY Playbook
The furniture is from Lowe's about 8 years ago!
Hey! Thanks for all the tips on how to paint an outdoor rug, I was wondering did the paint leave the rug a weird texture? As in if I was to be barefoot on the rug would it feel rough? Thank you!↓
DIY Playbook
Thanks Erica, and great question. No, where we painted isn't extra "rough" on bare feet. I guess it's slightly different than the rug texture but both very safe for bare feet to walk on. =) We'll definitely be making more this year.
Andrea Kay Bloom
Please share your color choices. These are the colors I am hoping for. I have a large deck to cover & could never afford a large enough rug for it. Luckily, I found the perfect size new on Craigslist for $30 (8×10), but it's boring. I can'try wait to spruce it up!↓
DIY Playbook
Andrea, I'm so sorry but I don't have the exact colors on-hand anymore. Sorry about that! I just tried to find good blues and a pop of yellow in the small paint samples. Love the idea to spruce up an old rug from Craigslist. Good luck!

You know, this stuff is just fascinating to me as a historian, but honestly as a person looking to gain size and strength now, stuff like this means little.
It reminds me of the Valerie Borzov days when there was an idea of a Russian machine. Find a perfect physical type, then teach a perfect routine and perfect technique and voila, you have a champion.
Turns out, Borzov had a singular focus and worked his ass off. Even then, his records were thrashed by specimens like Carl Lewis, etc.
I'd just as soon say this Swiss goomba did the same thing. He was world champion in spite of all the foolishness he had to go through, and monster physical specimens like Cantwell, etc. have just laid the science to the wayside.
Human determination will always beat science. Book it.
Just a thought! My 02. Sorry, can't help being a sceptic.

Comments about Froggie and Friend Tooth Brush Holder:
These are adorable. I ordered two sets, 2 frogs and 2 ducks. I put them on the bathroom mirror, and they have stayed for 2 weeks now with no issues. My 5 year old is able to reach it and place the toothbrush back with no issues. They have kept the toothbrushes out of the drawers and from touching the top of the sink.

Gregory Johnsenchronicles the disturbing "drift" with respect to the Obama administration's targeting criteria in Yemen, and the potential for an exceedingly costly, yet unproductive, escalation within that theater. What were once a narrowly defined set of targeting requirements – focused, sharply, on operatives of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) – have now become a broader, if circular, rubric:
…[A]s this piece from Greg Miller has it, some "elasticity" has been introduced into the targeting. […]
…officials said the campaign is now also aimed at wiping out a layer of lower-ranking operatives through strikes that can be justified because of threats they pose to the mix of U.S. Embassy workers, military trainers, intelligence operatives and contractors scattered across Yemen."
In other words, the US has inserted, trainers, operatives and contractors into Yemen in an effort to erode the threat presented by AQAP, but those trainers, operatives and contractors attract attacks from Yemenis who are upset with a foreign military presence (no matter how small) on their land. And then when these trainers, operatives and contractors come under attack as they have recently in Aden and Hudaydah the US feels the need to respond and so it widens the target list even further – which then drives even more people into the arms of AQAP.
As suggested by Johnsen, the mission is drifting toward a circle of self-perpetuating, self-justifying futility. This pattern is not new, however. The same rationale has been used to justify the prolonged engagement in the Af/Pak region.
Accompanying any discussion of a pull-back of US forces from the Af-Pak region arewarnings that the withdrawal of our troops will destabilize Pakistan, and that we must continue to press the military campaign in order to contain the militant groups operating in that locale. Missing from that analysis – as with the analysis of the Yemen campaign and, in large part, the Iraq war before it – is an acknowledgement that our presence alone, and the use of military strikes in connection therewith, is itself a radicalizing, militarizing and motivating factor. For example, Pakistan has been destabilized, not made more secure, by our Afghan campaign, so it is dubious to conclude that our continued presence in its current form will serve to ameliorate a problem that it has only exacerbated to date.
Johnsen's conclusion is worth heeding:
I have argued for several years now that the US needs to draw as narrow of a circle as possible when it comes to targeting AQAP in Yemen. I worried then as I do now, that any expansion of targeting in Yemen would find the US in a war that it could never kill its way out of. And indeed that, I fear, is what is taking place right now. In an effort to destroy the threat coming out of Yemen, the US is getting sucked further into the quicksand of a conflict it doesn't understand and one in which its very presence tilts the tables against the US.
Al-Qa`ida did not appear to have looked to Iran from the perspective that "the enemy of my (American) enemy is my friend," but the group might have hoped that "the enemy of my (American) enemy would leave me alone." […]Although the documents make it clear that the relationship between Iran and al-Qa`ida is antagonistic, it is difficult to explain Iran's rationale for detaining en masse these jihadis for years, without due process. One plausible explanation that has been advanced is that Iran held them "in part as a deterrent against a Qaeda attack on Iranian soil." Another widely reported explanation is that Iran was holding al-Qa`ida members "as a bargaining chip in its war of nerves with the US, and will only allow their extradition in return for substantial concessions." Whether Iran was aware of it or not, al-Qa`ida had plans to put the released detainees to "work."
One attitude I often see is that Muslims are somehow uniquely intolerant of other religions. A Get Religion blogger named Mollie said in the context of the Saudi mufti's call for mosque destruction: "Can you imagine the coverage if, say, the Pope or some other major religious leader called for similar destruction? Even if it were a minor Christian or Jewish figure using such rhetoric, one imagines it would receive tremendous coverage." Actually, comments of foreign religious figures seldom receive any coverage regardless of their faith.
Last year the government of Moldova moved to recognize Islam as a religion in the country. The Moldovan Orthodox Church went ballistic. The metropolitan of the Moldovan Orthodox Church was among those critical, and the the prime minister finally pledged to review the decision, though I can't find an indication it was revoked. On the specific issue of houses of worship, I read this: "For the time being, the Muslims are pleased that the government has finally recognized them and that Muslims in the nation's capitol Chisinau can worship freely. Someday, they hope they might even be able to build a mosque. 'Now we have a prayer room and for us this is our mosque. As for building a mosque in accordance with Islamic norms, with a minaret and all, maybe it is not the right time now, not now,' a local worshhipper Ismail Wahab Wahab said." Meanwhile, one Bishop Marchel said, "Our ancestors' idea of cleansing the land of pagans is under threat now."
Meanwhile, also in 2011, an Israeli Jewish publication called "Fonts of Salvation" called for death camps for "Amalekites." In religious Zionist narratives, the Palestinians are usually said to be the new Amalekites, who attacked the ancient Israelites during the Exodus from Egypt. Two years ago, Rabbi Yitchak Shapira said it was permissable to kill babies if they might grow up to harms Jews. Shapira was supported by a rabbi named Dov Lior who said of Baruch Goldstein's 1994 machine gun massacre of Muslims at the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron: "He took action for no other reason than to sanctify the holy name of God."
What I take from these stories, as well as the statements by radical Muslim leaders, is that your inclination be a violent and hate-filled fanatic has to do with lots of cultural factors of which religious background is but one, and I'm not convinced an important one.
Pope Shenouda III of the Coptic Orthodox Church has died. Although in the years immediately following his 1971 ascension he was a politically active critic of the regime, a house arrest from 1981 until 1986 seems to have led him to become more conciliatory, and he became more a voice for Coptic rights within Egypt's existing political universe, even discouraging Copts from participating in the 2011 anti-Mubarak protests. His death comes at a time when many Copts are becoming alienated from a hierarchy they see as out of touch, especially in terms of Egyptian politics, but also when all Egyptian Christians face a time of uncertainty as individuals and as a community, one which in many areas faces persecution.
The influence of laymen in Coptic politics dates back at least to the Middle Ages, when Christian government ministers under the sultans were often the community's conduit to political influence. I wonder, however, if the role of former government officials in today's Coptic Church could become a source of controversy, given that they will be tainted by connections with the Mubarak regime.
The best estimates for global poverty come from the World Bank's Development Research Group, which has just updated from 2005 its figures for those living in absolute poverty (not be confused with the relative measure commonly used in rich countries). The new estimates show that in 2008, the first year of the finance-and-food crisis, both the number and share of the population living on less than $1.25 a day (at 2005 prices, the most commonly accepted poverty line) was falling in every part of the world. This was the first instance of declines across the board since the bank started collecting the figures in 1981.
"The estimates for 2010 are partial but, says the bank, they show global poverty that year was half its 1990 level. The world reached the UN's "millennium development goal" of halving world poverty between 1990 and 2015 five years early. This implies that the long-term rate of poverty reduction—slightly over one percentage point a year—continued unabated in 2008-10, despite the dual crisis.
"A lot of the credit goes to China. Half the long-term rate of decline is attributable to that country alone, which has taken 660m people out of poverty since 1981. China also accounts for most of the extraordinary progress in East Asia, which in the early 1980s had the highest incidence of poverty in the world, with 77% of the population below $1.25 a day. In 2008 the share was just 14%. If you exclude China, the numbers are less impressive. Of the roughly 1.3 billion people living on less than $1.25 a day in 2008, 1.1 billion of them were outside China. That number barely budged between 1981 and 2008, an outcome that Martin Ravallion, the director of the bank's Development Research Group, calls 'sobering'.
"If China accounts for the largest share of the long-term improvement, Africa has seen the largest recent turnaround. Its poverty headcount rose at every three-year interval between 1981 and 2005, the only continent where this happened. The number almost doubled from 205m in 1981 to 395m in 2005. But in 2008 it fell by 12m, or five percentage points, to 47%—the first time less than half of Africans have been below the poverty line. The number of poor people had also been rising (from much lower levels) in Latin America and in eastern Europe and Central Asia. These regions have reversed the trend since 2000."
Gregory Johnsenchronicles the disturbing "drift" with respect to the Obama administration's targeting criteria in Yemen, and the potential for an exceedingly costly, yet unproductive, escalation within that theater. What were once a narrowly defined set of targeting requirements – focused, sharply, on operatives of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) – have now become a broader, if circular, rubric:
