I used to own the Cowon S9 and J3 and as I posted somewhere in these pages, I was not immediately floored by the DX100. I was expecting an instant WOW and it didn't happen and so was quite disappointed. However with a bit of dedicated listening time, it was like a slow realisation that everything just sounded "better", "bigger" and "weightier". I did some testing back and forth between the DX100 and my Cowons and the limitations of the Cowon soon became obvious.
My J3 had never really sounded right to my ears and I was forever playing with the EQ trying to get the perfect sound. There has been none of that with the DX - set the EQ to OFF and the sound is perfect.
My Cowons have now been sold as the DX is the only player I want (apart from the battery life and weight)
In all my limited audio experience - instant WOW, after a fairly short time, turns into a Hmmm and then eventually an ewww.
Audio excellence subtly creeps up on you and when you aren't expecting, it pounces, knocking you out of your socks and into the sublime.

Well, I know it was a while ago, but whatevs! I'm gonna blog about it anyway! We had a really nice 4th of July. It was sunny, and we had a restful, lazy day. I had a great yoga practice and we got our dog Stevie all doped up on doggie Xanax*. Back in the olden days, I used to be a real fan of fireworks, but now that we have Stevie in our lives, I see the whole operation in a new light. Anyhow, once she's doped up (it really helps!), we're supposed to stay home and keep an eye on her - which means no raging parties for us. (*the other two dogs don't get too upset. Scared, but no full-fledged panic)
Luckily, my awesome and wonderful parents came over here, so we still got to have a sweet little festivity and keep an eye on the pups.
Dinner was simple and delicious: grilled corn on the cob, grilled Field Roast Frankfurters with mustard and fresh Garlic Dill Pickle Sauerkraut from the farmers market (so good!!), and my mom's amazing Turkish Salad with cukes and onions and olives and white beans and everything good.
Does it even count as 4th of July if watermelon is not served? I think there is a federal law about watermelon and all summertime festivities. In the People's Democratic Republic Of Amey, there is such a law, and it is strictly enforced.
I also made this red, white and blue fruit salad. Please just join me in pretending that those yellow raspberries are actually white!! Obviously, it would have looked better if I had just stuck with the white nectarines, but I couldn't stop myself from throwing in the raspberries. Plus, they're just so tasty!!
It was a really sweet dinner together, a nice quiet way to celebrate the holiday, and our little Stevie made it through the night... carried on the wings of Doggie Xanax! It's pretty much her least favorite day of the year, so it always feels like a good deal when you know it's over and won't be back for another year. :)

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
From the historical and enchanting region of France emerged a multitude of notable family names, including that of the distinguished larouzuc family. Originally, the people in this region went by one (personal) name. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. These names then began to become "fixed" or hereditary between the generations. One of the types of names adopted as surnames were those derived from nicknames. Nicknames, or "eke-names," were an added name that generally reflected some physical characteristics or other attribute of the person that used the name. The larouzuc surname derives from the Old French word "rous," meaning "red," or "red-haired;" and as such was a nickname for someone with red hair, or perhaps for a person with a ruddy or reddish complexion, or who dressed habitually in the color red. larouzuc Early OriginsThe surname larouzuc was first found in Périgord, where this impressive family held a family seat since ancient times. Another branch of the family held lands near Rouen in Normandy since 1165. Ralph le Roux was sent in 1119 by Henry I to the aid of Ralph de Guader and in 1120 was one of the nobles who died with Prince Henry in the Blanche. The English line descends from Turchil Rufus or Le Rous, who landed in England in 1066 and held lands in Norfolk. [1]CITATION[CLOSE] The Norman People and Their Existing Descendants in the British Dominions and the United States Of America. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing, 1975. Print. (ISBN 0-8063-0636-X) A later English branch was found at Imber in Wiltshire. "The church [of Imber] is an ancient structure, in the early and decorated English styles, with some relics of Norman detail, and contains two monuments with the recumbent effigies of Knights Templars of the family of Le Rouse, chamberlains to Henry II. and Edward III." [2]CITATION[CLOSE] Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. larouzuc Spelling Variationslarouzuc Spelling Variations Spelling variations of this family name include: Leroux, Lerout, Lerou, Leroulx, Leroud, Lerous, de Roux, Lerou, Laroux, La Roux, La Rou, La Rous and many more. larouzuc Early Historylarouzuc Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our larouzuc research.

Whole House Humidifier Filter - 2-Pack This high-quality product is made by a leading manufacturer to replace the humidifier filter (AKA water panel, water pad, evaporator pad) in many makes and models of whole house humidifiers. This product is found in the large bypass and fan-powered humidifiers manufactured by Aprilaire, Chippewa and others. The humidifier filter is constructed using an expanded aluminum mesh pad covered with a special clay-like coating that absorbs water and removes mineral deposits. The process of humidification begins when water flows through a humidifier valve and soaks the filter. Hot, dry air from the furnace or fan coil passes through the filter and absorbs the water. The moist air is then distributed through the home via the forced-air duct system. It is recommended you replace your whole house humidifier filter at least once per heating season. Areas with hard water may require two changes per season to ensure peak performance. Features:

Working better than the previous pad

About Me Homeowner
Comments about BestAir Replacement Water Panel for Whole House Humidifiers (#12) - 2-Pack:
I have used the same source of humidifier pads for several years. A pad from the previous order didn't work right, wasn't distributing water on both sides (I called in a service tech because the house wasn't getting humidified, and he confirmed this). I installed a pad from the latest order and right away everything is working fine again. It's the only problem I've had, and will continue to order this pad model.

Rockies interview Manuel, Mackanin for manager post
Rockies interview Manuel, Mackanin for manager post
DENVER -- The Rockies have interviewed former White Sox and Mets manager Jerry Manuel and former Phillies bench coach Pete Mackanin for their vacant managerial job, a Major League source with knowledge of the situation said on Saturday.
The Rockies declined to comment on the interviews. Teams have been discouraged from making major news during the World Series.
Manuel and Mackanin are the first two candidates with no previous connection to the Rockies to have talks with the club since Jim Tracy resigned on Oct. 7.
The Rockies also have interviewed Tom Runnells, who became the bench coach when Tracy took over as manager in 2009; free agent first baseman Jason Giambi, who has played with the club since 2009 and would retire if offered the managerial post; and former Major League shortstop Walt Weiss, who spent part of a long career with the Rockies and worked several years for the club as a special assistant.
Manuel, 58, managed the White Sox from 1998-2003, the Mets from 2008-10, and has a record of 704-684 as a manager. In 2000, Manuel earned American League Manager of the Year honors when he led the White Sox to a first-place finish in the AL Central. The Mariners swept the White Sox in the AL Division Series. Manuel took over the Mets from Willie Randolph in 2008, and the club went 55-38 under him while finishing second in the National League East.
Mackanin, 61, was bench coach for the Phillies from 2009-2012. Mackanin also has had two stints as an interim manager -- with the Pirates when he was promoted from bench coach to replace Lloyd McClendon at the end of the 2005 season, and with the Reds when he replaced Jerry Narron during the 2007 season. The Reds had a league-worst 51 losses under Narron, but went 41-39 under Mackanin. The Phillies chose not to renew his contract at the end of the 2012 season.
Both new candidates spent considerable time as Triple-A infielders in Denver. Manuel played in 128 games for the Denver Bears in 1980, and hit .277 with three home runs and 61 RBIs. In 1984, he played in 109 games for the Bears and hit .293 with four homers and 40 RBIs.
Mackanin also had two stints with the Bears. In 1978, he played in 131 games and hit .276 with 17 home runs and 112 RBIs, and in 1982 he hit .268 with 16 homers and 73 RBIs in 116 games.
Other reported candidates for the job include Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr., Padres front-office assistant Brad Ausmus, Athletics third-base coach Mike Gallego, Dodgers third-base coach Tim Wallach and D-backs third-base coach Matt Williams, who is managing some of the Rockies' prospects in the Arizona Fall League.

Lazy Cranberry Orange Tea Toddy
Author Notes: I think one of the best aspects of a "hot toddy" is that it is enjoyed at the end of the day when you can finally relax. So I enjoy this recipe because it is so simple! I found a version of this recipe in The Hotel Limpia Cookbook. The hotel has been in Fort Davis, Texas since 1913. I changed the recipe to include more sugar, less tea bags, and a splash of rum for those nights when you really want a reward for the days work! —cowgirlculture
Makes 4 cups
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 packets orange spice tea bags
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 cups cranberry juice (heated)
- 1 shot rum (like Malibu or Parrot Bay)
- Steep the two orange spice tea bags in the 2 cups boiling water for 5 minutes.
- Add sugar and dissolve.
- Heat cranberry juice for about a minute in the microwave.
- Pour in cranberry juice to tea mixture.
- Add shot of rum. You could obviously increase the amount of rum according to the night of the week. I prefer Malibu or Parrot Bay rum.
- Divided into two big mugs or four tea cups. Garnish with a slice of orange if there is one handy.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for A & M's Annual Smackdown / Your Best Hot Toddy

Joy of Parenting
From Tenure Track to Mommy Blog
Lauren Apfel has the kind of résumé you'd expect for a tenure-track professor at a selective liberal arts college—classics major at Yale, masters in political theory from the London School of Economics, and a doctorate in classical languages and literature from Oxford. In 2011, Oxford University Press published her dissertation as a book: The Advent of Pluralism: Diversity and Conflict in the Age of Sophocles.
But these days, Apfel isn't lecturing to undergrads or researching the Theban plays. She's a mommy blogger.
It's a term that rankles many of us who write about parenting and women's health, as we find it dismissive and reductionist (if Betty Friedan had written on the Internet, would she have been a "mommy blogger?"). But Apfel has no hard feelings about the label. A native New Yorker now living in Glasgow with her husband and their four children—who range in age from 2 (including 28 month-old twins) to 8, she regularly shares insights about her family on her blog Omnimom.
"Writing about parenting was a logical extension," she explained in an email. "Becoming a mother is, without question, the most fascinating thing that has happened to me. The topics are endless. The emotion is high. The self-understanding it inspires is legendary. It's the perfect storm for me, really."
Apfel, with her multiple degrees and rarified background, is hardly an anomaly in the ever-growing and increasingly sophisticated parenting blogosphere. Women who've had rich professional lives are increasingly turning to mommy blogging in lieu of more flexible and part-time arrangements in the traditional work world, mining their personal experiences to connect with readers (and in some cases, sponsors and advertisers) across the Internet.
Take Devon Corneal. She's been a lawyer since 2003, had two judicial clerkships, and spent eight years as a litigator. Last week, Corneal resigned from her New Jersey firm because, as she describes it, "I've never felt as engaged or as challenged as I am when I'm raising my son—or trying to write about the experience."
So after 22 months of juggling her job as an attorney and regular blog posts, on everything from talking to her preschooler about marriage equality to wanting to have an "only" child, Corneal decided it was time to strike out on her own—and is, among other endeavors, eagerly awaiting the launch of her personal blog, Cattywampus.
But as the parenting platform becomes more crowded, and as more accomplished women choose blogging over other viable work-life options, will writers feel pressured to keep upping the ante, revealing more and more about their kids and their private lives? After all, there are only so many eyeballs for so many posts. And what does this mean for the kids who are the subject of all this blogging? How will they react (either now or in 10 years) to their mothers publicly sharing the natural, though previously seldom discussed, underbelly of parenting emotions?
For instance, Apfel caught some swift backlash for her May post on The New York Times parenting blog, the Motherlode, entitled "I Didn't Want Twins." Various commenters expressed dismay (and outrage) that a mother would share such intimate feelings of ambivalence about having two babies— and risk that one of her twins might read his mother's writing one day and conclude he wasn't wanted.
"Giving voice to what challenges us is a fundamental part of writing for me," explains Apfel. "There is a liberation in coming to terms with your darkest feelings to the point where you can put them into words that satisfy you."
When it comes to boundaries, Corneal says she never uses her 5-year-old son's name or any pictures of his face, and she writes about parenthood (her experience), not childhood (her son's experience)—a subtle but important distinction.
"The only time I really questioned a writer's decision," Corneal confesses," [was] after Sandy Hook when a mother wrote a post [I Am Adam Lanza's Mother] about her mentally ill son and his violent tendencies and she used his name and picture."
Indeed, where to draw boundaries is a highly individualized decision, says Katherine Stone, who's blog, Postpartum Progress, just celebrated its ninth birthday, and is, according to Stone's bio, the most widely read blog on postpartum depression and has spawned a national nonprofit Post-Partum Progress Inc.
But when Stone's eldest child turned 10 last year, she decided that she wasn't going to write about him anymore without asking. "The whole over-sharing thing is tough," concedes Stone. "There's no AP style guide to parenting blogging or a counsel of lawyers that says do this or don't do this. At the end of the day, you have to think, when my kids are 17, are they going to be mad that I shared this?" For the most part though, she believes that mommy bloggers take the issue seriously and think quite carefully about what they want to share online.
Andrea Nair, a psychotherapist and parenting educator in London, Ontario, warns parenting bloggers that it's incredibly difficult to earn a child's trust back once it's broken, and Nair believes that a parent can potentially jeopardize a child's trust as early as age 6 or 7 if they are embarrassed or upset about a post.
"If a child says, 'I don't ever want you to write about me again," says Nair, "then the parent needs to stop—deadline notwithstanding. The child needs to feel the relationship with him or her is more important than the blog."
And children aren't the only potentially problematic readers a mommy blogger might want to consider. The reality is, if a woman decides she wants to re-enter a more traditional professional path outside of the blogosphere one day, her posts are part of her online identity and can easily be misread by someone who isn't as immersed or fluent in the parenting world.
"Though not everyone, you might be surprised how conservative some employers and people in leadership positions can still be in 2013," advises Gail Cutter, a Columbia law grad with more than two decades of experience in law school career counseling, headhunting, and law firm recruiting. "Imagine a PR adviser sitting on your shoulder every time you share something personal or difficult to talk about, because it's not just people in the blogging community that may ultimately read what you're saying and make a conclusion about your judgment."
Of course, 10 years ago there were no mommy bloggers. And who knows what the work world will look like a decade from now. As the first generation of parents grappling with just how much of our children and ourselves to share with the Internet, we're all in unchartered territory, feeling our way, post by post.

I've written on this topic before. Since writing that post nearly two years ago about my fear of extending our nuclear family with the meta connections of polyamory, most of those connections have collapsed. Back then, I was concerned about the effect on Small, but she is fine. This time, I'm more selfishly thinking of myself. (I can do that sometimes, right?)
Although that post was about 'chosen family', I didn't choose any of my metamours - my partners did. With only trivial exceptions, I've always been delighted by their choices. Despite some bad past experiences, metamours, semi-metamours (metafuckbuddies?) and potential metamours are still one of my favourite things about poly. I want my partners to keep dating, because I want to meet their dates! If they find someone they want to be around, the chances are that I'll want their company too. Everyone wins!
But I'm not a part of their relationships, and I don't get a vote in how they are conducted, or how long they last. They are relationships of choice, but not mine.
That's not to say that metamours can't become friends or even family in their own right, but I suspect it happens less often than we hope. When the supporting meta-ness of the relationship has gone, there will at least be change, and what comes out the other side won't be like the metamour relationship you started with. If there are sides to be taken, the chances are you won't be on theirs any more. People that I once felt intimately close to have ended up feeling like near strangers, and none of it was in my control.
The relationship between metamours and the way that this builds poly networks or 'polycules', is seductive. It is so tempting to call these connections family far far earlier than the connections deserve. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one to fall into this trap. Most of the time, these connections feel stronger than they are. One crucial difference between biological family and chosen family is, I think, that one is opt-out, and the other is opt-in. To put it another way, you don't need a reason to include your parents or siblings in your family, but if you cut one or more of them out, you probably had a damn good reason for doing so. Relationships that started for a reason, on the other hand, are more vulnerable to change. These relationships of choice can be stronger, but the former is more plastic. The bonds between metamours can appear deceptively like family relationships (because you didn't choose them), but like your sister's partner or your uncle's new spouse, they are as brittle as romantic relationships themselves.
This is not to say that we don't believe in the 'poly tribe' any more, or that we don't think that metamours can become family. We do. We're just more cautious about whom we include. Marge Piercy's vicious poem A Snarl For Loose Friends ends with the lines 'Don't count your friends by their buttons until you have seen them pushed a few times' and I think that's good advice for anyone you want to rely on. My relationships with my partners and their meta-relationship with each other have all seen multiple buttons pushed, and we're still standing. Our relationships have been proven strong, and so we feel safe to call each other family.
Poly people talk about communication a lot. But we've learned from past experiences, and now we trust the results of this button-pushing more than what is said. That's not just because they may be unreliable, but because sadly, relationships don't succeed just because we want them to.
Small is old enough now to talk about her long term memories. She talks about my boyfriend when he isn't here, as she does with the rest of her family. When she was with my husband's girlfriend this weekend, she asked about a trip they took last Autumn, several visits ago. If someone has stuck around, through thick and thin, even when things got hard, then they'll be around long enough for her to develop a real connection with them.
Me? I'm cautious, but still hopeful. I've seen it fail, but I've seen it work, and I'm trying to learn from that. The two men in my life have loved each other as well as me for years now. No matter what else we might have got wrong, this bit we've got spectacularly right.

Planned Parenthood march against Obamacare repeal
"With this disaster of a bill dead and buried, I hope that we can get to work."
Dave Rice 6:30 p.m., March 24
Inside the auditorium at the Metropolitan Wastewater Operations Center in Kearny Mesa, community planners from across the city gathered for the February 23 meeting of the Community Planning Committee to discuss the issue of medical marijuana dispensaries.
After 45 minutes of public testimony and committee discussion, the committee continued the agenda item until all neighborhood-planning groups have submitted motions to either reject or accept the medical marijuana task force's recommendations.
Of the 43 planning groups that comprise the Community Planners Committee, 23 have submitted motions revealing their stance on pot shops. Of those 23, Tierrasanta and Pacific Beach planning groups rejected the task force recommendations outright, giving no reason for opposing marijuana marts from cropping up in their neighborhoods. La Jolla's planning group also declined to accept the recommendations, feeling the 500-foot distance between storefronts was insufficient.
In addition to the three communities opposed to pot shops operating in their neighborhoods, six others refuse to vote on the issue. Those six community planning groups are Torrey Hills, Mission Valley, Rancho Penasquitos, Sabre Springs, Rancho Bernardo, and City Heights, which declined to take a vote but "supports a system that provides access by patients who have a legal prescription and reasonable preventatives against any who do not have a legal prescription."
As for those communities that did pass motions in support of the task force recommendations, nearly all were laced with additional suggestions, such as the suggestions from College Area Planning Group to limit the number of dispensaries to one per council district, to apply an annual fee for all dispensaries, and to require that all collectives get approval from their local community planning group before the city grants any permits. Other suggestions, such as the one from the Downtown Planning Group, included lengthening the distance between dispensaries to 1000 feet and asking that dispensary owners undergo background checks.
Out of the bunch, Serra Mesa's planning committee was the only group that supported the task force recommendations as is.
In March, the issue over dispensary regulations will come back to the Community Planning Committee when the remaining planning groups will be given the opportunity to reject or accept the recommendations from the medical marijuana task force. Those planning groups that have already docketed the item for March are: Normal Heights, North Bay, Otay Nestor, and Skyline/Paradise Hill. After all planning group motions have been received, they will be forwarded to the city council for a vote, the first the March 24 Land Use and Housing Committee meeting.

Metaphorically Speaking
May 30th, 2011 | Specific | 0 Comments
'tis nobler is feeling descriptive today:
Police are looking for a male described as being between 18 and 29 years of age, approximately 180cms tall, with a slight build and last seen wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and runners. He is known to be as cunning as a fox, with the demeanour of someone who has found 20 cents after losing $20. He should not be approached unless you are backed into a corner and have nowhere to go but up.
Some descriptions are close to useless, some use comparisons that add depth and colour while the reviews for others are mixed, speaking metaphorically:
It is easy to describe skilled performance for the obvious elements are known and you just need to list them. You can describe the way Federer serves, the way Vettel drives or the way Clapton plays the guitar. Describing is easy, so, so much easier than doing and yet describing and doing are often seen as the same thing. If you can describe, does this mean that you can also do?
Descriptions sit on the surface of the 'What World', outlining what is done at a very general level. Being readily available but superficial, descriptions don't detail everything that is performed for you need to explore the 'How World' and the 'Why World' to get this information. All of these things come together to form understanding and, combined with direct, effortful experience, produce competence and expertise.
Descriptions may be a starting point but they never take you very far. But their influence is not necessarily limited as the way you describe something (or the way others describe it to you) can guide your entire effort (or lack thereof). For (doing) better or for (doing) worse, metaphors are a double-edged sword that could tip the balance either way!
Is learning to drive like falling off a log? Is umpiring a football game like stealing candy from a baby? Conversely, is learning to drive like trying to nail jelly to the wall? Is umpiring a football game like trying to herd cats?
Metaphors are pervasive and influential, yet another example of the framing process. How do you behave under the influence of descriptions? Can you learn something through metaphors or do metaphors just affect your learning?

American Gothic: Jolie Holland & Homer Bailes |
August 8th, 2007 ~ It's old-time country and folk, as seen from the two very different viewpoints of our guests. Jolie Holland is a young singer-songwriter whose sound incorporates a distinct vision--sometimes dark and somewhat hallucinatory--of blues and country from another era. Homer Bailes is the last remaining member of 1940s country superstar family band the Bailes Brothers. His stern outlook on life, illustrated by songs like "Whiskey is the Devil in Liquid Form," remains unchanged over half a century later. |

S&P 500 Climbs to Record on Stimulus, Earnings Optimism
Lu WangU.S. stocks rallied, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index to its highest level ever, as China's imports grew, Japan reiterated its stimulus plans and investors speculated earnings will beat estimates.
All 10 industries in the S&P 500 advanced, with technology and health-care companies rallying more than 1.7 percent. The Nasdaq Composite Index, which counts on computer and software makers for about half its weighting, surged 1.8 percent. Intel Corp. and Micron Technology Inc. jumped at least 2.3 percent as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. predicted a rebound in industry sales. Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. added more than 1.2 percent, pacing gains among financial shares.
The S&P 500 rose 1.2 percent to 1,587.73 at 4 p.m. in New York, as minutes of the latest Federal Reserve meeting showed officials debated when to curtail stimulus efforts. The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 128.78 points, or 0.9 percent, to a record 14,802.24. About 6.2 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges, in line with the three-month average.
"A lot of it is sentiment," Rex Macey, who oversees $20 billion as chief investment officer at Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors in Atlanta, said by telephone. "People who were not in the market and people had been nervous are starting to feel as if it's safe to go back in the water. They don't feel there is a recession around the corner," he said. "The market is expecting some bad reports for earnings. We think there might be some surprise to the upside."
'Bold' Easing
Imports to China rose 14.1 percent in March from the year earlier, leaving the nation with an unexpected trade deficit. In Japan, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said "bold monetary easing" will reverse persistent deflation in his nation. Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said the central bank will take all steps necessary to meet a 2 percent inflation target even as he indicated policy adjustments are unlikely every month. The European Central Bank will keep rates low and continue injecting liquidity into the banking system, Governing Council member Christian Noyer said on Europe 1 radio.
The S&P 500 jumped the most since Feb. 27 today, topping a record intraday high of 1,576.09 set in October 2007, and is up 2.2 percent so far this week for its best three-day rally since the beginning of January. The index has more than doubled from its 12-year low in March 2009, helped by the Fed's unprecedented bond purchases and three straight years of profit growth.
Several Fed officials said the central bank should taper its bond-buying program later this year and stop it by the end of 2013 if labor market conditions improve, according to minutes from the March meeting released today. Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said on April 8 that economic conditions were far from where he would like them to be.
Fed Debate
"Bernanke has made it very clear as of late that while the economy is recovering quite well from recent lows, it is still very far from where he would like it," Ryan Larson, the Chicago-based head of U.S. equity trading at RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc., said by e-mail. "I think that is trumping the fact that some of the members might want purchases to end sooner."
U.S. President Barack Obama released his proposed 2014 budget to Congress today, more than two months past the Feb. 4 deadline, after Democrats and Republicans deadlocked over taxes and spending. Under the plan, President Obama wants to again rely on the top-earning U.S. households for most of the tax increases he's proposing.
Earnings Season
Constellation Brands Inc. and Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. are among six companies in the S&P 500 reporting earnings today. Members of the benchmark gauge will post a 1.8 percent profit decline in the first quarter, according to analysts' projections compiled by Bloomberg.
Companies whose growth is most tied to economic swings led today's rally. The Morgan Stanley Cyclical Index climbed 1.6 percent, and the Dow Jones Transportation Average jumped 1.8 percent.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, which measures the cost of using options as insurance against declines in the S&P 500, slipped 3.7 percent to 12.36. The gauge, known as the VIX, is down 31 percent this year and reached its lowest level since February 2007 last month.
Betting on banks and software makers during earnings season has rewarded investors during the bull market. Since April 2009, the industries have generated stock market gains averaging about 2 percent in the two weeks after Alcoa Inc. marked the start of the earnings season, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That compared with a gain of 1.7 percent for the S&P 500 in those weeks.
Banks, Chipmakers
The KBW Bank Index climbed 1.4 percent, with 23 of its 24 members advancing. Citigroup added 2.7 percent to $45.06 while JPMorgan gained 1.2 percent to $49.25. JPMorgan and Wells Fargo & Co. are scheduled to report earnings on April 12.
The S&P 500 Information Technology Index soared 1.8 percent to the highest level since Oct. 17. The Nasdaq Composite Index surged the most since Jan. 2.
Intel, the world's largest chipmaker, rallied 2.3 percent to $22.26. Micron jumped 5.4 percent to $10.09. Sales in the chip industry will grow 4 percent this year, after falling 2 to 3 percent in 2012, said Morris Chang, chief executive officer at Taiwan Semiconductor, the world's largest contract producer of chips.
Pfizer Inc., the world's biggest drugmaker, climbed 2.8 percent to $29.92. The Food and Drug Administration assigned the company's palbociclib compound a breakthrough designation under a new regulation that's aimed to expedite the development and review of drugs that may demonstrate substantial improvements in treatment for serious diseases, Pfizer said.
Facebook Inc. gained 3.7 percent to $27.57. General Motors Co. said it will test advertisements on the world's largest social-network service a year after the automaker quit running marketing messages on Facebook's website.
Health Management Associates Inc., the operator of acute-care hospitals, plunged 16 percent to $10.53 after it reduced the high end of its 2013 earnings forecast.
Other hospital stocks also fell. Community Health Systems Inc. lost 3.8 percent to $42.26. Tenet Healthcare Corp. slipped 5.5 percent to $41.14. Deutsche Bank AG cut the three stocks to hold from buy.

AMD won't be producing its GPUs or chipsets anytime soon. In
order to do that the company would have to design a GPU specially for its Dresden FAB and since it is inexperienced it would probably heavily affect the yields
as well.
DAAMIT is happy with TSMC as these guys know what thay are doing and AMD needs Dresden to produce K10 and K8 CPUs. Once it gets K10
Barcelona and Agena out it will need all the capacities it can get to fill the
Dell, HP and some other big sharks are waiting for Agena aka
Phenom and Barcelona Aka Opteron 2200 as their Athlon sales is declining. More

We still don't know what will happen beyond R700.

#1 The Ram 1500 Quick Silver
This is the truck that could and SHOULD be the next offering from the SRT brand lineup. The Ram 1500 Quick Silver is powered by the 6.4L, 392 cubic inch Hemi from the Dodge Charger SRT8 and Challenger SRT8, offering 470 horsepower and 470lb-ft of torque. Mopar adds headers, a cold air intake and a sporty body kit to make for one incredible street truck that many Mopar lovers (like me) are praying to see reach production.
That's just the tip of the iceberg for salacious photos; check out the rest of our stunning SEMA galleries:

Rodie Chic Review
The Roadie Chic furniture collection is the ultimate blend of old and new - A blend of Oriental history and modern contemporary living.
The reclaimed lumber we use is processed wood retrieved from its original application for purposes of cabinet making for our Roadie Chic furniture collection. Most of our reclaimed timber comes from old boats and houses from the south of India. Our reclaimed or antique lumber has unique properties that is used primarily for construction and added decoration of the furniture.
Reclaimed timber is very popular for many reasons including the wood's unique appearance, its contribution to green the greener environment, the history of the wood's origins plus the physical characteristics such as stability, strength and durability. The increased strength of reclaimed timber is often attributed to the reduced pollution that existed up until the 20th century. Also in those days, the timber was usually harvested from virgin sources and not plantations which had hundreds of years to grow.
Reclaimed beams can be sawn into wider planks than newly harvested timber and often the wood is more stable than newly cut wood because reclaimed wood has been exposed to changes in humidity and temperature for much longer. In some cases, the timbers from which planks are cut have been naturally expanding and contracting for over a century. The impact of changing heat and moisture is much less dramatic with antique wood than newly sawn wood because old wood has already been through this cycle for many years.
The reclaimed timber industry started to gain proper momentum in the early 1980's when large-scale reuse of wood and other building materials such as roofing slates and red bricks began. The industry grew due to a growing awareness and concern for environmental issues as well as declining quality in new timbers and other building materials.

Better This World
Documentary by Katie Galloway and Kelly Duane de la Vega
Run time: 90 minutes
MPAA rating: Unrated
The powerful award-winning documentary "Better This World" follows two boyhood friends from Midland, Texas, as their world spins out of control. David McKay, 22 and Bradley Crowder, 23, had been opposed to the Iraq War, yet had no idea of what, if any, action to take. Within six months, in a stunning turn of events, they wound up arrested on terrorism charges at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
The film explores their initial naiveté ("We just want to make the world a better place") and their bonds with the intense older Brandon Darby, a radical "agent provocateur," who mentored and challenged them until their arrests. Much of the film is about the Feds' relentless prosecution of McKay and Crowder, and the eventual (here, undisclosed) outcome.
Almost in disbelief, we watch the vindictive battle of the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI against McKay and Bradley's sense of honor, friendship and fear. We also observe the toll the terrorist allegations take on their families, their loved ones and themselves.
More like an edge-of-your-seat spy thriller and tense legal drama than a true story, "Better This World"soberly illustrates the dilemma between civil liberties and post-9/11 public safety. This is a documentary; it isn't ripped from the headlines and fictionalized. Yet "Better This World"has all the complexity, stimulation and suspense of a great drama — with incredible twists at the end.
Through meticulously edited interviews, moving jailhouse phone calls, audio of FBI interrogations, FBI surveillance photos and video, and footage from the Twin Cities' Joint Terrorism Task Force Department (Homeland Security had granted $50,000 for surveillance), the documentary shows the events as they happened, although the filmmakers first met McKay and Bradley one year after their arrests. Careful recreations are used where necessary.
"Better This World"is apowerful film. I wish it were a paranoid fantasy rather than a presentation of actual events. But such is our 21st century world.
"Better This World"was partially funded and aired by PBS'sPoint of View. Please check the POV website for upcoming screenings.

Emory Law: Advanced Legal Research: Homework Assignment One Professor Elizabeth Christian You are a new associate at a small Georgia firm that focuses on tax law. A daughter of one of your boss's friends may be filing for divorce and wants someone she knows to handle it. Divorce law is not your boss's area, so he turns to you to bring him up to speed. The client's name is Melanie and she is a substitute teacher at a local elementary school. Her husband, Ashley, has an outside sales job with a national corporation and has to travel and stay overnight at least once or twice a month in neighboring states. Melanie and Ashley have been married for 3 years and live in Decatur, Georgia. Melanie has reason to believe that Ashley is seeing a former girlfriend, Scarlett, and she wants to know what some of her options are. Directions: Write up your answers in a quick Memo format addressed to the Partner from you: (To, From, Regarding, Date). To answer his questions, tell what you found and where you found it. On a second page, for each question tell me how you found the answer. If you performed electronic searches, tell me what database and search terms you used, etc. If you used a print resource, how did you find the answer? Write clearly so that I can retrace your steps if necessary. It is possible that some of the questions involve statutes, too. Please attach any copies of cases you cite in your memo with the pertinent language highlighted. You do not need to attach copies of any statutes. I am also not interested in any in-depth research pertaining to alimony. Lastly, please consider your writing style. Your memo should be to the point, easy and interesting to read, as well as well organized. Your homework will be due at the beginning of next week's class. 1. Your boss wants to know if Melanie can go after Scarlett for "alienation of affection" for breaking up her marriage. Is this possible? 2. What are the grounds for divorce in Georgia? Is adultery one of the grounds? Melanie's husband does say that she nags him and can be critical. Is there a Georgia case you can find where this behavior would give Ashley grounds for divorce? 3. Melanie plans to hire a private investigator. She knows the name of the hotels where her husband usually stays in each city, so it should not be that hard to build a case. She is still worried, though, that adultery is hard to prove. Does adultery have to be proved in Georgia by direct evidence, or are there other ways to prove it? Find two cases that might help in this instance. 4. The private investigator has warned Melanie that if he finds something, she should be aware of the doctrine of condonement. Melanie doesn't know what that means, and neither does your boss. What does it mean, and where did you find the answer? Is this something that Melanie needs to be concerned with in light of her case? 5. Melanie has very little money. Would it be possible for her to get the Georgia court to make Ashley pay for her attorney's fees?

Intercontinental Motorcycle Touring/Popular Routes
From Wikibooks, open books for an open world
Some routes around the world are very popular or yield exceptional attraction among riders because of the spectacular beauty of their surroundings, their extreme fitness for motorcycle riding, or simply their convenience. Similarly, some particular destinations carry a strong mythical value for riders (such as reaching Ushuaia at the Southern tip of South America) and many of them are systematically featured in intercontinental routes.
- The Alps (France, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria) - The Alps mountain is a paradise for motorcyclists because of the striking landscapes, the infinite number of twisty roads, and the rich culture from the region. One the advantage of the Alps is that is allows connecting various countries of Europe making it easy to include this region into intercontinental routes which very often go through Europe.
- Route Napoléon (France) - This section of the French Alps goes from Grenoble to Cannes, on the Côte d'Azur. The route got its name from the fact that Napoleon used it in 1815 on his return from Elba. It is now a 325 km (200 mi.)section of the Route nationale 85. The main interests of the Route Napoleon, like for most Alpine roads, are the striking beauty of the surroundings, the rick culture, and pleasure riding through such a long winding road provides. From its North end the whole of Western and Northern Europe can easily be reached, while from its South end Italy and Spain can be reached.
- Cairo to Cape Town - Riding from Cairo, Egypt to Cape Town, South Africa (or the opposite), along the Eastern side of Africa, has been one of the most popular trans-African route with motorcyclists, especially English-speaking ones, since the route conveniently goes through many English-speaking countries. The route also has a strong geographical significance, going from one end of the continent to the other, while being pretty much the only continuous one viable, although it does require going through Sudan, Ethiopia, or Uganda which feature a higher level of risks to travelers due to local political tensions. The route also has the benefit of avoiding the complexity of going through Central Africa (D.R. Congo, Rwanda, and Uganda) although some travelers deliberately chose to ride through these countries. Another advantage is that both ends of the route offer good land, air, or sea connections to other continents such as the Middle East and Europe (from Cairo) and South America, India, and Australia (from Cape Town or Johannesburg).
- Paris to Dakar through the coastal road - Designed as a four-week rally raid in the late 1970s, the Paris-Dakar Trans-Saharan route became somewhat of a mythical reference to many European adventure riders. The initial route was going through the Algerian, Nigerien, and Malian deserts before reaching Senegal's capital, Dakar, on the Atlantic Coast (see the 'Across the Sahara through Tamanrasset' paragraph below). Because of the high risks to travelers due to political tensions and terrorism activities in the Sahel region, this route is now seldom used by riders and the coastal route from Southern Morocco to Mauritania and Senegal has been preferred over the last few years. A brand new asphalt road built by Korea is now linking all three countries, making the ride even easier, although some dirt road patches remain here and there, especially around the Moroccan-Mauritanian border. It is important to note, however, that since the late 2000s, this route has also featured the same amount of risks to travelers as the central Saharan one, as political tensions and terrorism activities now extend well into Mauritania.
- Trans-Saharan road through Tamanrasset - This mythical route was made popular in Europe with the first Paris-Dakar rally raids in the 1980s. Coming from coastal Algeria, riders were diving South into the heart of the Sahara desert, through tough sandy tracks, reaching places that evoked the times of the trans-Saharan caravans from centuries ago, such as Ghardaïa, El Goléa, the Ahaggar Mountains, Tamanrasset, the Ténéré desert and its famous lonely tree (now a modern sculpture), or Agadez in Niger. Political tensions and terrorism, first in Algeria through the 1990s, then in the entire Sahel region until now, have made this route less and less traveled by riders; the Dakar rally raid itself having even permanently moved to South America in the 2008.
- The Karakoram Highway (Pakistan) Also known as KKH, this is one of the most spectacular mountain roads in the world linking Northern Pakistan to Western China across the Karakoram mountain range, and reaching 4,693 m (15,397 ft) in altitude. Riding conditions are extreme with the high altitude, the wild rules of the road, the many blind turns and tunnels, the sometimes rough terrain and, more recently, the added stress due to political tensions in the region. This said, the road is often explored by tourists and having ridden the KKH, in the very heart of Asia, at the crossroad of so many ancient cultures, is probably one of the most rewarding event in the life of a global rider.
- The Trans-Siberian Highway - Having been regularly ridden since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Trans-Siberian road links Vladivostok, on the Russian Pacific coast, near North Korea, to Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg in the Ural Mountains, on the natural border between European and Asian Russia (Siberia). The route follows more or less the Trans-Siberian Railway. The popularity of this road resides in the fact that it offers, in summertime, a direct link between Europe and the Pacific Ocean, thus avoiding the complexity of the South and West Asian roads. Although construction has been going for years to make it a fully asphalted road, the 2,000 km (1,240 mi.) long stretch between Chita and Birobidzhan, along the Amur River, known as the Amur Highway, still features some extremely difficult sections sometimes running for hundreds of kilometers. West of Yekaterinburg and Chelyabinsk the road connects to the dense European Russian network easily leading to the rest of Europe. The other end of the road, the ocean port of Vladivostok, offers sea freight connections to North America via South Korea, and is the Trans-Siberian Railway's Eastern terminal. One branch of the road requires going through Northern Kazakhstan, and the city of Petropavl, while another allows going around that area. Very few riders have ridden the Trans-Siberian Highway in wintertime when temperatures are well below freezing point. The main drawback of the route - aside from the Chita-Birobidzhan section - is its monotony since it more or less following the same latitudes, thus featuring thousands of miles of taiga. Back in the early 1990s, the road was known to be roamed by organized bandits, often linked to the local mafias, but this threat has now mostly disappeared, at least from a traveler's standpoint. One branch off the Trans-Siberian Highway is the very difficult "Road of Bones" which goes through the Siberian Northeast to the ocean port of Magadan.
- The Australian Outback and the Southern Cross - Australia is almost a continent in itself and traveling there as part of an intercontinental ride includes transporting the motorcycle in and/or out of the country. Immense territories and open spaces are ideal for adventure motorcycle touring while reaching destinations such as Ayers Rock in the very center of the country can be a goal in itself. Another goal for some riders is to travel through the "Southern Cross" linking the farthermost cardinal points of Australia. Although the Southeast of the country has a reliable road network, some transcontinental roads are still made of dirt and used by heavy trucks.
North America[edit]
- The Pan-American Highway - This succession of asphalt roads from Alaska to Patagonia allows riding on a good surface across the entire continental block of the Americas in an almost uninterrupted fashion (see some popular sections of the highway, below). The only gap in the highway is the Darien Gap, between North and South America (see this entry in the section about road blockers, below). The highway is often chosen by intercontinental riders, riding it from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Argentina, because it features a significant latitude span of 124° from North to South, is highly meaningful ('crossing the Americas'), offers a variety of landscapes and cultures along the way, and is definitely noticeable on any world map featuring the route (see details about Prudhoe Bay and Ushuaia, below).
- Prudhoe Bay (Alaska) - Opposite to Ushuaia at the Southern tip of the Americas, Prudhoe Bay is located at the Northern tip of the Americas, on Alaska's Arctic Ocean coasts. In that sense, it has a high geographical significance and many riders include it on their trans-American route, along with Ushuaia, to formally materialize the extend of their ride through the Americas. Prudhoe Bay being located at a Northern latitude of 70° and Ushuaia at a Southern latitude of 54°, the latitude span covered by linking both destination is of 124°, representing a third of the Earth's circumference. The road leading to Deadhorse, Alaska, Purdhoe Bay's main nearby city, is a dirt one used by many oil tanker trucks.
- The US Southwest - The many roads crossing the US states of California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado are some of the most stunning in the World going through vast rocky deserts, high mountains, and mind blowing rock formations, most featured in dozens of national and state parks: Monument Valley, Death Valley, the Grand Canyon, Arches, Bryce Canyon, Joshua Tree, Zion or Yosemite. Beyond landscapes, the region also features a strong Native American heritage, especially from the Navajo, Hopi, and Apache people, that definitely adds to the region's richness. Riding a motorcycle through that region definitely bring back memories of old tales from the West where the horse was the primary mean of transportation. Freeways, highways, and the majority of the small country roads are in excellent shape and well serviced, making traveling through that immense region easy. Off-road riding capabilities are also plenty.
- Pacific Coast Highway - Also known as PCH or Highway 1, this is one of the most beautiful roads in the World offering almost 600 km (360 mi.) of riding on the edge of California's Coastal Range overlooking the blue Pacific Ocean and through wild Mediterranean vegetation landscapes. Although often narrow and winding, the road is very safe and well maintained. It features some beautiful sights such as Big Sur, the California Central Coast, the Hearst Castle, dozens of surf beaches, and many opportunities for marine wildlife watching. The road runs between San Francisco and Santa Barbara, although it also links the Malibu and Los Angeles area but requiring to ride through a stretch of freeway.
South America[edit]
- Patagonia (Argentina) - Patagonia makes most of Argentina South of Buenos Aires and the Pampa region. This 2,000 km (1,300 mi.) long, triangular-shaped, vast expense of steppes is bordered by the wild Atlantic Ocean on the East and the Andes mountain range on the West. Roamed by wild vicuñas and sheep and featuring many species of marine mammals and birds along its coast, Patagonia is ideal for long distance riders. The main drawback is, however, the constant powerful winds coming from the East that has its toll on the riders in the long run. Many roads along the Andes are gravel roads, locally known as "ripio", making their way between mountains and glacier lakes in some of the most spectacular landscapes on the planet. Some of these roads, such as the "Ruta 40", are extremely popular with long-distance riders. Most people who ride through Patagonia attempt to reach Ushuaia, at the Southern tip of the Americas. There are many roads that allow crossing from Patagonia into Chile.
- Ushuaia (Argentina) - Ushuaia is famous for being the World's southernmost city (although the title has been regularly challenged by the nearby Chilean town of Puerto Williams). It is located at the Southern tip of South America, on the island of Tierra del Fuego, at a Southern latitude of 54°48′, and only 1,000 km (660 mi.) away from the Northern tip of Antarctica. The city is considered by many riders to be a very significant milestone to reach when riding through the Americas, because of its unique geographical location and also because it evokes the tales of generations of bold navigators who attempted to cross the furious Cape Horn, nearby. Many riders chose to cross the entire Americas continental block by linking Ushuaia with Prudhoe Bay, Alaska (see this entry above), located at 70° of Northern latitude, thus covering a latitude span of 124° between the two locations, equivalent to a third of the Earth's circumference. Ushuaia's popularity is also enhanced by the fact that it is fairly accessible through the good Argentine roads of Patagonia.
- The Southern Andes (Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina) - The 4,000 km (2,600 mi.) long, North-South mountain range of the Southern Andes, on the Western edge of South America, is a prime destination for mountain road motorcyclists. Through the Andes the rider can travel in Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Bolivia. However, the range extends even further into Ecuador, Columbia, and Venezuela but under a tropical weather. Southern Bolivia, in the region of the Salar de Uyuni, features some very difficult terrain for hundreds of kilometers and at very high altitude, often above 4,000 m (12,000 ft). The local cultures, either pre- or post-Columbian, are fascinating and offer unlimited opportunities for off-motorcycle tourism.
- In 1999, Slovenian motorcyclist Benka Pulko succeeded in shipping her bike from Chile to Antarctica and in riding it for a few miles on the seventh continent, a first in History. Although this challenge can still be met with proper logistics and means only the most motivated riders will embark in such a unique adventure where riding opportunities remain extremely limited.

Nokia Nseries Launch
Apr 27, 2005, 1:00 PM by Rich Brome @rbrome
Live report from Nokia's unveiling of the new Nseries line of high-tech phones in Amsterdam. First impressions of the new N91, N90, and N70 phones.
AD article continues below...
Nokia this week unveiled a whole new series of high-end phones with bleeding-edge features. More than just three new phones, "Nseries" will be an ongoing series of phones featuring the latest technology. Unlike other recent attempts at high-end sub-brands, Nseries isn't about luxury or fashion - these phones are about practical quality and features. In other words, they're aimed squarely at the gadget-freak crowd.
The new features debuting in the first Nseries phones include 2 megapixel cameras, CIF video capture, ultra-high-resolution displays, and hard drives, among others. Going forward, Nseries is the line where Nokia will introduce other new technologies, before migrating those features down into more mass-markets models.
In addition to high-end features, the Nseries will also include high-end quality in certain models, including Carl Zeiss lenses and stainless steel casings.
Nokia introduced the Nseries at "Destination Multimedia", a lavish event in Amsterdam. Held in a converted factory building, the event included a live performance by Alicia Keys. Nokia brought about 200 journalists from around the world to this exclucsive event. Clearly they take the launch of the Nseries seriously.
Keep us updated...
Hey Rich, I need to let ya know...
Rich Brome for president!
Thanks for all the info! Keep up the great work!
Thanks, though! It's my pleasure!
Sweet phones....
About friggin time.
Sorry so late!
Sorry the "Discuss" tab wasn't up earlier. It was supposed to be, but there was a glitch.
As always a huge THANK YOU for the timelyness of the information. Please keep up the great work!

For a bit before and after the Webzen tour I got a chance to sit down with this mighty MMORPG the likes of which the world has never seen before. That is, if the world never played Diablo or any of its sequels and was interested in a watered down MMO version of it.
First, In MU's defense, the setup they gave on the floor was particularly poor to seeing how folks actually experience it in game. The PC was setup with a level 301 relatively omnipotent super character who could generally kill everyone around him by blinking his eyes. Seeing any difficulty or even much of the feeling of playing in the world was kind of hard given that. That said, I gave it a bit to see if it was any fun.
The graphics and interface are from Diablo for the most part, watered down a bit and not as keenly fitting in as Blizzard's stuff, but workable and intuitive as the design is solid. They did suffer from generally being bland as far as interfaces go, suffering from the problem that in their desire to make things simple, they forgot to make things look really nice. Simple does well describe the game, though that was probably a facet of the character as no real strategy elements besides point and kill could be seen with everything dying when they got so much as near the flying angelic supergod.
The test was done apparently on their own live servers as I walked past a handful here and there of other players playing the game and usually blathering obnoxious insults at each other. Moving past these, I did affirm that the action does never stop outside of towns. In fact, they take this long past enjoyable and into the ranges of mind-numbing stupidity as standing in a place and surrounding myself with full screen clearing death-spells resulted in a never ending and almost instantly respawning horde of enemies that just kept coming and coming without even slowing down, all dying without me bothering so much as to move. The AI clearly doesn't have anything else going for it besides numbers as not a single enemy tried to flee or snipe from outside of range or just not walk into the deathtrap.
Overall, by the time I put it down I'd been left totally unimpressed. Sure, it's an MMORPG. Sure, it's got the basic qualities and there's plenty to pick up in it. But there was nothing I saw during my time with it to indicate a reason to pick it up and play it regularly.

Investigator and radio host Ross Hemsworth discussed his explorations of anomalous phenomena, including his research into orbs and ghosts. While filming the show 'Ghost Detectives,' in the UK, at a site that was allegedly haunted by a young girl, he distinctly heard a child's voice say "May I play?" He noted that this was a Victorian, rather than modern style of speaking.
He investigated a pub at Lilley Arms where the owner had requested he come in to exorcise a ghost. She had asked the entity, a man dressed in Victorian-era clothes, what he was doing in her establishment. "Madam, I think it is you that is in my room," he told her. This led Hemsworth to conclude that the spirit may be co-existing with us, but in a different dimension or parallel realm, taking place in an earlier time frame-- and we may not have the right to try and expel such beings.
Orbs, the globe-like objects that appear in digital photographs, are one of the strangest phenomena of our time, Hemsworth commented. Many of these photos cannot be explained by dust, moisture and camera malfunction, and further, orbs have moved on command, implying they have some type of intelligence, he said. For more on orbs, view photos below, as well as the trailer for his upcoming documentary Orbs - The Final Proof?
First hour guest Uri Geller talked about his involvement in the new NBC reality series Phenomenon, a contest to find the next great mentalist. Geller said that he and Criss Angel offer critiques on the contestants' performances but the winner will be decided by viewers' votes.
Ross Hemsworth sent us a set of orb photos to accompany his presentation. Click here to view.
