Oahu, Hawaii (SportsNetwork.com) - Sei Young Kim fired a 5-under 67 in Thursday's second round and the rookie joined I.K. Kim atop the leaderboard at the LOTTE Championship.
Sei Young Kim, who won the second event of the season at the Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic for her first victory on the LPGA Tour, finished 36 holes tied with I.K. Kim at 10-under-par 134. First-round leader I.K. Kim, a three-time winner, shot a 3-under 69.
World No. 3 Inbee Park, the highest ranked player in the field, is alone in third place at and three shots back at 7-under 137 following her 2-under 70 at Ko Olina Golf Club.
Chella Choi (68), Paula Creamer (69), Mirim Lee (69) and Jenny Shin (70) are all tied for fourth at minus-6.
Defending champion Michelle Wie shot a 3-under 69 and she is tied for eighth with Ai Miyazato (69) and Haru Nomura (70).
Sei Young Kim, who held the second- and third-round leads at the ANA Inspiration two weeks ago, played the back nine first in Thursday's second round.
Right away Kim traded a bogey on 10 for a birdie on 11. Following a pair of pars at 12 and 13, Kim birdied every other hole at 14, 16 and 18 to finish up her opening nine.
Kim's second bogey on No. 2 dropped her back to 2-under for the day, but she later rattled off three straight birdies from five to vault into the outright lead at the time. The rookie finished up with a pair of pars to end there.
"I think overall my game was in pretty good shape today," Sei Young Kim said. "I worked on my fade shot yesterday because of the wind, and I think that has really worked out well for me today. My putter was also much better. I think that that's why I was able to play under par today. It was a good round."
I.K. Kim holed just two birdies on the front nine at three and eight to go along with a bogey on nine, putting her at minus-8 as she made the turn.
Kim started the back nine with four straight pars from four and she then drained back-to-back birdies on 14 and 15, which vaulted her into a share of the lead with Sei Young Kim.
I.K. Kim concluded her round with a trio of pars from 16 and she heads into the weekend tied atop the leaderboard.
"After ANA I spend a lot of times on the putting green. I felt like I was hitting the ball really well, having a lot of opportunities, but putting was letting me down a little bit," I.K. Kim admitted. "That's why I spend a lot of time working on putting."
Park holed two birdies on the back nine, her front, at 13 and 17 before trading two birdies for two bogeys on the closing nine.
NOTES: I.K. Kim's last victory came at the 2010 Lorena Ochoa Invitational ... In her rookie season, Sei Young Kim has a win, four top-10 finishes and one missed cut in seven events. The missed cut came at the season-opening Coates Golf Championship ... Park has not finished worse than tied for 13th in six events this season ... With the cut falling at 3-over 147, 72 players advanced to play the weekend.

Located on the central west coast of Florida, Tampa (population 335,000), was incorporated in 1887. In the 1880s, financier Henry B. Plant brought the railroad to town, securing the city's future.
Tampa's major seaport and the railroad enabled Cuban cigar manufacturer Vicente Martinez Ybor to establish his company town, Ybor City, in 1885, which spawned an industrious immigrant settlement. Ybor's vision earned Tampa recognition as the home of the finest handmade cigars in the world and infused a rich Latin culture into the city that remains today.
During the Florida Land Boom in the 1920s, citrus groves gave way to large residential developments encircling Tampa's business core. The city's subtropical climate, nearby beaches, and thriving economy, facilitated consistent growth and continue to attract thousands of tourists each year.
Recently, Tampa relocated five "casitas," or cigar worker houses, to the Ybor City Museum State Park, recreating a historic urban block adjacent to the newly reconstructed streetcar line. One of the casitas contains historic exhibits, while the others are leased out to commercial tenants.
In addition to Tampa's many historic districts, a number of landmark structures are located in public spaces, including the Wesley Bintz-designed Cuscaden Pool constructed under the WPA, the 1927 Sulphur Springs Water Tower, and the serpentine balustrades of Bayshore Boulevard. The Ybor City Local Historic District offers visitors a wide array of activities, including glimpses of the cigar manufacturing tradition. The Hyde Park Village Historic District contains a fine collection of 19th and early 20th century Craftsman architecture.
Designated a Preserve America Community in December 2007.

Yes, Charlize Theron And Helen Mirren Are Returning For Fast And Furious 9
One aspect that has particularly allowed the Fast And The Furious to grow in popularity over the years is the way in which its regularly added to its central ensemble. Going back to Fast Five, which was the movie that brought Dwayne Johnson into the fold, there has been a pattern of not only casting notable names, but keeping them around for more than just one story. This is a list that includes Johnson as well as Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, and Luke Evans, and now Charlize Theron and Helen Mirren can be added to that list as well.
Mirren is already set to make her second appearance in the franchise later this summer with a small part in David Leitch's Hobbs and Shaw, but Vin Diesel is now confirming via his personal Instagram account that that both she and Charlize Theron will have roles to play in Justin Lin's developing Fast & Furious 9. There is no word yet about their specific involvement - including the sizes of their individual roles, or how they fit into the plot - but they join a growing ensemble that is also set to include Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Nathalie Emmanuel, and newcomer John Cena.
Both actresses made their debuts in the series in the most recent chapter - F. Gary Gray's The Fate Of The Furious - but at this point they exist at very different points on the hero/villain spectrum. Helen Mirren plays Magdalene Shaw, who is not only the mother to both Owen (Luke Evans) and Deckard (Jason Statham), but a powerful criminal in her own right. You'd think that this would put her more on the antagonist side of things, but her biggest contribution to the larger story so far is helping Vin Diesel's Dom when he came to her requesting help protecting his son.
On the other hand, Charlize Theron's Cipher is a maniac and definitely one of the bad guys. She was the central villain in The Fate Of The Furious, which was a chapter that not only saw her try and start a nuclear war, but also kidnap and kill people that Dom loves. It's worth mentioning that a heroic turn may not be totally outside the realm of possibility, as there are many #JusticeForHan supporters who wonder why the Family decided to embrace Deckard Shaw after Furious 7, but it's far more likely that Cipher will simply be causing more chaos and havoc in Fast & Furious 9.
The upcoming sequel in the action franchise is now about three weeks into production, and they're likely trying to move quickly as Universal has plans to have the finished feature in theaters worldwide during Memorial Day weekend next year. Updates keep coming from the set on a regular basis, so be on the look out for more news about Fast & Furious 9.
For those of you who simply can't wait 10 months for more of this cinematic universe, you'll be happy to know that a perfect scratch for your itch is now just a few weeks away. Hobbs and Shaw, which is the first spin-off created for the Fast & Furious franchise, is set to arrive in theaters everywhere on August 2nd, and we'll have tons of coverage coming your way here on CinemaBlend.

Traqmate Traqdash Review
by AC
What is it:A new extended display from Traqmate, it integrates a lap timer, tachometer, shift lights and more into one display.
Who is it for:
The track junkie who wants more information at his fingertips, the racer who is looking to substitute his analog dash display at a price well below competitors.
Do you want it:
Yes you do and it gets an A+ Axis recommendation .
Disclaimer: Traqmate is an advertiser on Axis but if you have been following these pages, you know we were clients of theirs way before they became sponsors of ours.
Traqdash is the long awaited extended display for the Traqmate data logger. It is an upgrade from the familiar lozenge shaped display which is part of their basic system. It features a 4.3" pressure touch screen topped by a nine segment shift light display. Data is recorded on an SD card and it connects to the main Traqmate sensor unit via locking connectors.
Traqdash allows the user to configure all settings directly, without the need for a computer.
It can be as simple as a basic lap timer or can be configured to accept up to four analog and two digital inputs from sensors on your ride.
Traqdash allows you to remotely control LANC equipped Sony cameras as well as ChaseCams and, as of early 2012, GoPro cameras. That is exciting news, many of us used the ChaseCam / Traqmate combo in the past, the convenience was undeniable. Unfortunately, those early ChaseCams although wonderfully built, are now very much obsolete in terms video quality. Being able to substitute a GoPro is the perfect solution.
I have used it for a couple of track days now and I'm hooked. I cannot imagine going without it. I mounted mine as a dash replacement, it happens to fit perfectly in the BMW instrument binnacle, so a couple of L shaped brackets and some industrial Velcro and it was a done deal. Here is what it looks like in action.
Traqdash can be attached to a common suction cup mount, in that case you might choose to use it a a simple timer or perhaps as additional gauges.
Visibility is very good, The anti glare screen is quite effective with the backlight strong enough for full daylight but dimmable enough for night work. In fact, there is an effective Auto Dimming feature.
Probably my favorite feature on Traqdash is the predictive lap timer, It will tell you how your current lap is compared to either the best ever recorded by you or your best in that particular session. It does this with a graph which changes from red to green. Red you are slow, green you're good, brilliant!
Touch screen, how does it work with gloves? It's actually a pressure screen and Traqmate, being run by racers, did their homework well: the amount of pressure needed is perfect as is the size of the hotspots on the display. Operating it with gloves is no problem at all.
Having everything integrated in one display, tach, timer and shift lights is great. Having access to it at that price point is incredible.
After the jump you can find a slide show with most of thescreens on the display to get an idea of the parameter you have access to. If you have any specific questions about the Traqdash, feel free to ask in the comments.
In the market for a system? Let me remind you that between November 4th and 7th, Traqmate is running a special, one time sale. You can save up to $250 on a system. A great opportunity as these systems do not get discounted.
4 comments:
Any issues running in Parallels with the new traq dash? Not sure anything would change that but thought to ask.ReplyDelete
The data is the same, What changes is just the display. Operationally, the difference is that instead of removing the display from the car, you plug the SD card to your computer. Also, as I mentioned, setup is done on the display unit rather than on the PC.ReplyDelete
i really want one of this!... AC is there a way to buy one in monthly payments ?ReplyDelete
haha, you'd need to take that up with Traqmate, or maybe your credit card company :) But yes, you do want oneReplyDelete

This research was an exploratory pilot study on the use and need of solution-focused practices in supervision according to child welfare workers and child welfare supervisors in Nova Scotia, Canada. Child welfare workers and supervisors were invited to participate in an online questionnaire exploring the use and need of solution-focused practices in child welfare supervision. The collected data indicated that these practices were being implemented and that workers and supervisors believe there is a need for them. Further research and training on solution-focused practices in the supervision of child welfare workers could be beneficial to help create the most productive supervision experience that positively impacts everyone involved.

Mona's story
"I chose Electronics and Electrical Engineering because it has this really cool combination of coding and computing and physics and electronics. You get to learn about physics and you get to practise it in your electronics degree where I deal with different circuits. It really opens up a lot of different jobs after university."
"Throughout my course I'm looking forward to having different placements and different friends. You get to meet new people every day. I also get to experience different labs and practical work, so that's exciting.
"I'm really enjoying electronics because, as a second-year student, you start to do circuits and work in groups to use the equipment, so that's really fun.
"I chose the International Study Centre for the support. If you don't want to go to university directly and meet new people, you can go to the International Study Centre to help you meet other cultures. It also helps you with the facilities and you get to go to different events, so that's a way of experiencing student life.
"It [the ISC] prepared me for my course and it prepared me, not only as student, but also in how to talk to other people. I was a class representative in the Foundation, so it really helped me talk to other people fluently. It wasn't a struggle going into first year or second year and not being able to speak up. It wasn't only educational help, it was also the social experience."

Yoga path (1) - Yin Yoga & Mindfulness
I have always felt a deep longing for exploring consciousness. I used to sit in silence in the church of my hometown and felt at ease in the surrounding nature with animal life. Later on it was in dance where I experienced the freedom and endless space. When I first entered a Mysore room, back in 2003, I felt a deep connection to the practise and Astanga Vinyasa Yoga became my companion, in good times and in bad.
Good and bad, heaven and earth; our existence is by nature bi-polar. It therefor didn't take long before Yin Yoga crossed my path. This gentle form of yoga nurtures and heals on a deep level, I've experienced. Being softer, more feminine and inward looking. Taking time in postures to feel subtle levels, to train the mind and just be with the breath.
Slowly my daily practise has become more integral to my needs on all levels, mind, body and heart. I feel blessed with the teaching of Sarah Powers who combines yin & yang postural work, Buddhist mind training and Western psychology. I joined her Insight Yoga Institute this year (2016) and look forward to the rich programme it offers; loving the support of this international community and guidance of my mentor.
After spending a week in silence in Wales with Sarah and Ty meditation practice has again developed and deepened. How much is there to hear in silence - how soothing to bathe in silence - how hard at times to be with yourself. We were so well guided by our teachers, a safe environment to delve into mind space. And Buckland Hall treated us with delightful dishes, a veggie sheaper's pie is still on my mind.
2017 started with a different focus: anatomy TT (50 hrs) with Anat Geiger and Marcel vand er Vlis, Paul Grilley-style. Kind of cool to get a deeper look into bones, muscles and fascia.

In this monograph the authors assert that Russian verbal prefixes always express meaning, even when they are used to form the perfective partners of aspectual pairs. The prefixes in verbs like написать/na-pisat' 'write' and сварить/s-varit' 'cook' have semantic purpose, even though the corresponding imperfective verbs писать/pisat' 'write' and варить/varit' 'cook' have the same lexical meanings. This suggests a new hypothesis, namely that the Russian verbal prefixes function as verb classifiers, parallel to numeral classifiers. The exposition is designed to be theory-neutral and accessible to both linguists and nonlinguists. The studies make use of quantitative research on corpus data and statistical models (chisquare, logistic regression, etc.), which are presented in a common-sense way that assumes no special expertise. A user-friendly interactive webpage at http://emptyprefixes.uit.no/book.htm houses links to the authors' database, plus additional data from the studies cited. This book narrates recent breakthroughs in research on Russian aspect and demonstrates a range of methodologies designed to probe the relationship between the meaning and distribution of linguistic forms. These methodologies are used to investigate the "empty" prefixes, alternating constructions, prefix variation, and aspectual triplets. Though these phenomena have long been known to exist, their extent and behavior have not been previously explored in detail. The authors propose that the verbal prefixes select verbs according to broad semantic traits, categorizing them the way numeral classifiers categorize nouns. The purpose of the prefixes is to convert amorphous states and activities into discrete events and to group verbs according to the types of events they express. In other words, Russian prefixes are in effect a verb classifier system similar to those proposed for Mandarin Chinese, Hindi-Urdu, and a number of Australian languages, and this hypothesis facilitates cross-linguistic comparisons. The description of Russian prefixes as a verb classifier system furthermore has pedagogical value since curricula may be redesigned to teach students the system according to its meaningful groupings rather than simply requiring them to memorize hundreds of combinations of prefixes with simplex verbs. In short, the proposal to recognize Russian prefixes as verb classifiers supports the community of people interested in Russian grammar to be better linguists, better instructors, and better learners.

Denver Baby Photos | James Michael
More often than not, I feel that everyone's days would brighten up a ton if they saw even half of the Denver baby photos I get to see. So this is what this post is intended for, and I think that little James Michael is the perfect fit for the job. I mean, can you really scroll through this entire post without smiling at least once? I think not- just look how much of a happy baby he is. Not to mention that his 1st Birthday just happened1 (Happy Birthday James Michael!!)
And the off chance your day is really that bad- just keep scrolling through. And maybe force a little bit of a smile anyways because it's healthy for you. And here's an internet hug to help out a little.

More notes on liberty, self reliance, personal responsibility, and a few funny quotes, from the facebook wall of Lawrence "Larry" W. Reed of the FEE, in 2011-2012.
"It will take America fifteen years of steadily taking care of our own business and letting everybody else's alone, to get us back to where everybody speaks to us again" -- humorist Will Rogers, in a prophetic comment from seven or eight decades ago.
"The trade of governing has always been monopolized by the most ignorant and the most rascally individuals of mankind" -- Thomas Paine.
"One of the qualities of liberty is that, as long as it is being striven after, it goes on expanding. Therefore, the man who stands in the midst of the struggle and says, 'I have it,' merely shows by doing so that he has just lost it" -- 19th Century playwright and poet Henrik Ibsen.
"Compared with the totality of knowledge which is continually utilized in the evolution of a dynamic civilization, the difference between the knowledge that the wisest and that which the most ignorant individual can deliberately employ is comparatively insignificant" -- F. A. Hayek, who also wrote that "...the case for individual freedom rests largely on the recognition of the inevitable and universal ignorance of all of us concerning a great many of the factors on which the achievements of our ends and welfare depend."
"A society that puts equality ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom" -- Milton Friedman.
"Subsidies entail politicians' taking the citizen's paycheck and then using it to buy his submission" -- James Bovard.
"I don't want my children fed or clothed by the state, but if I had to choose, I would prefer that to their being educated by the state" -- Max Victor Belz.
In a free society, there are no such things as a "right" to compel a fellow worker to join or pay dues to a labor organization, a "right" to represent another against his will, or a "right" to use the loot from forced dues to buy politicians who will then loot both taxpayers and workers even more.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen" -- Sam Adams.
As a new year approaches, this advice attributed to Benjamin Franklin deserves special attention: "Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man."
"[T]he saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanquished liberty is that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch for a saving hand while yet there was time" -- George Sutherland of Utah (1862-1942), U. S. Supreme Court Justice.
"Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Year's Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to" -- William E. Vaughan.
"The greatest sign of a success for a teacher is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist'" -- Maria Montessori.
"The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a family all wrapped up in each other" -- William E. Vaughan.
"Education would be much more effective if its purpose was to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they do not know and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it" -- William Haley.
"The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be ignited" -- Plutarch. This, in a nutshell, explains a large measure of the success of home schooling over traditional government schooling.
"Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man's lifetime income--which he then spends sending his son to college" -- the late columnist Bill Vaughan.
"Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status" -- Laurence J. Peter.
"Bureaucracy is the glue that greases the wheels of progress" -- unknown author.
"The whole gospel of Karl Marx can be summed up in a single sentence: Hate the man who is better off than you are. Never under any circumstances admit that his success may be due to his own efforts, to the productive contribution he has made to the whole community. Always attribute his success to the exploitation, the cheating, the more or less open robbery of others. Never under any circumstances admit that your own failure may be owing to your own weakness, or that the failure of anyone else may be due to his own defects--his laziness, incompetence, improvidence, or stupidity" -- Henry Hazlitt.
"It is not only vain, but wicked, in a legislature to frame laws in opposition to the laws of nature, and to arm them with the terrors of death. This is truly creating crimes in order to punish them" -- Thomas Jefferson.
Some people think of Big Government as their SANTA. Put the "N" at the end of the word instead of the middle and that's what it looks more like to me.
"The struggle for freedom...is not the struggle of the many against the few, but of minorities--sometimes of a minority of one man against the majority" -- Ludwig von Mises, the greatest of the "Austrian" economists and, I'm proud to say, the teacher of my teacher, the late Dr. Hans Sennholz.
"When you have made evil the means of survival, do not expect men to remain good. Do not expect them to stay moral and lose their lives for the purpose of becoming the fodder of the immoral. Do not expect them to produce, when production is punished and looting rewarded. Do not ask, 'Who is destroying the world?' You are" -- Ayn Rand.
"Good government generally begins in the family, and if the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow" -- Elias Boudinot, president of the Continental Congress (1782-83) and America's second president under the Articles of Confederation.
"A recent poll showed that nearly half the American public believes that the government should redistribute wealth. That so many people are so willing to blithely put such an enormous and dangerous arbitrary power in the hands of politicians--risking their own freedom, in hopes of getting what someone else has--is a painful sign of how far many citizens and voters fall short of what is needed to preserve a democratic republic" -- Thomas Sowell.
"Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wing, and only character endures" -- Horace Greeley, editor and educator (1811-1872).
"The greatest of faults is to be conscious of none" -- Thomas Carlyle, historian and author (1795-1881).
"The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse" -- James Madison.
"The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere" -- Thomas Jefferson.
The Eighth Commandment says "Thou shalt not steal." It doesn't say "Thou shalt not steal unless the other guy has more than you do, or unless you're sure you need it more or could spend it better, or unless you hire a politician do it for you "democratically." -- LWR
"The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to the public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. The wise and correct course to follow in taxation is not to destroy those who have already secured success, but to create conditions under which everyone will have a better chance to be successful" -- Calvin Coolidge.
"Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost" -- John Quincy Adams (not a particularly good president but he was spot-on in this instance).
"I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge pope and king unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong.

Juárez gunmen kill 2 men, woman riding in vehicle with NM plates
By: Daniel Borunda / El Paso Times
Two men and a woman riding in a Hummer H3 with New Mexico plates were shot and killed on a Juárez street, Chihuahua state police said Friday.
Police said gunmen fired 30 rounds in the shooting at about 6:20 p.m. Thursday in the Felipe Angeles neighborhood across the Rio Grande from the University of Texas at El Paso.
A man and a woman died in the front seat of the white Hummer while the second man fell dead in the garage of a home. Officials said the victims had not been identified but appeared to be in their 20s.
Police reported four others were killed in other cases Thursday.
By early Friday afternoon, there were four homicides, including an unidentified woman with multiple tattoos whose decomposing body was found in an abandoned home, a man who died at a hospital from multiple stab wounds and a man shot at the Edgar bar on Avenida de las Torres.

I thought Hummers were bullet proof...guess I was wrong...Not to be a wise guy, but riding around in a pimp'd out hummer in Juarez does not sound like a wise choice....Either law enforcement will suspect you are someone or the cartels will or someone will just car jack you...ReplyDelete

I understand your comments and agree that a Hummer makes you a target...but these killings are endemic of a bigger issue. People should be free to live their lives without fear. All the people who bought Ferrari's in MTY should be able to pick them up rather than leave them in the dealership. I should be able to wear my Breitling without fear of being robbed or shot or kidnapped.ReplyDelete

anon, 807, I agree with your response to my post, but this is Juarez Mexico, not NYC, NY where we pay enormous taxes and expect the protection and to live in peace. I agree with what you said in theory, but unfortunately it's not realistic in Juarez Mexico or many other parts. I have a friend who was car jacked in Acapulco and several others who had their cars stolen. One other who drove a pimp'd out Jeep and got followed and held up by several gunmen looking to indentify them all directly in the heart of the tourist zone, not the hills. Given the fact that Juarez is probably worse or at least from what I read appears to be worse, I think it's insane to drive around like that, though I would never say they deserved it...that's a stretchReplyDelete
I sold my Hummer last year. Yes, Buela had a Hummer, no they are not armored. I thought mine looked a little too Narco with its new wheels. Narcos love the car. I sold it in 8 hrs. on ebay..in SoCal to a Mexican who paid for it with bundles of cash...he did not try to negotiate a lower price.ReplyDelete

You hit the nail square on the head. Most Americans have no idea whats really going on in Shitville,Mexico and are not awre of the dangers that could be encountered there. this crap is not making the news here.

if the devil were on earth i promise you he would live in cd.juarez. i was there when it was still considered relatively safe and was amazed at what was offered to me. from waaaaay underage girls / boys to any drug i could fathom, to fake u.s currency. Best was a short walk from the old Mercado i was offered up a kill much like you see in the movie hostel. a guy approached me at a local watering hole and said want to know what it feels like to kill? drunk off my ass i said "yea sure"! the guy pulls out a cheap ass digital camera with at least 15-20 women pictured and a price along with each. he says this one $100 U.S... this one 50 U.S... fuck them, bash there head in, torture whatever bro take out all your frustration on any one of these putas. He said we have places you can do this in safety and confidentiality... we even get rid of whats left. No one will ever know amigo.ReplyDelete
knowing about the femicide murders now it sends chills down my spine to think about. Needless to say i sobered up a bit swiftly after this mans proposal. Best part of all is the guy was in a police attire! I would have assumed it was a set up or a fucked up joke on a stupid gringo but the way the guy was drinking tecate after tecate and partaking in nose candy i still wonder to this day.
on a side note last time i was there i was robbed by a couple of cops no less than 50 feet from the bridge of the Americas. Suckers got a watch, my wedding ring, and 75 usd in cash. they laughed the whole time they shook my ass down.
i miss that place. I always felt like i was what los angeles would be like after a post apocalyptic rebuild.

I'm the guy who said many Americans have no idea how bad things are. This is due to the fact that there is hardly any coverage here in the U.S.ReplyDelete
To the poster who goes by the name DFL. Mexico has some amazing qualities but it also has too many places where it is excessively dangerous. That being said, it is far from "POO POO, CACA." Your post is juvenile and is a prime example of how idiotic too many posters become when they get on forums.
As an American I'm embarrassed by some of the other Americans who make fools of themselves on here (almost on a daily basis.)
Mexico has become shitville. Go there yourself and look around and you will see that the border is in the hands of the cartels. You who critize have no idea what the real drug war entails and whos involved.ReplyDelete

Online gambling has seen a major rise in popularity over the years, with its different online casino games that gives people the opportunity to make some decent money. You can learn a thing or two from gambling online, take a look below at 11 things that you can learn from playing these online casino games.
It's So Good That It's Infuriatingly Addictive
When you start comparing it with its traditional counterparts, you will realize that there are more than just possible riches for you to gain. You basically eliminate so many of the bad things that come with traditional gambling houses and casinos. You don't have to think about getting dressed and going out searching for the nearest casino; you don't have to worry about driving for miles on end anymore. It can be accessed easily on your phone or your computer as you relax at home.
You won't have to wait long hours waiting for your turn to come up and get a seat at the table; you don't have to tip the bouncers to get in faster, and you don't have to befriend the dealers and throw in a little incentive for them as you gamble, too. You don't have to worry about the countless cameras watching your every move, making you flustered and nervous. It can all be done easily and effortlessly at home with no one to bother you, and that's one of the main reasons why it's so addictive.
1. It's Very Difficult To Cheat
Cheating is something that some people want to do when they gamble. They want an easy way out to get the big winnings without any effort. But sadly that's not always going to be that effective in their case. It's true that hackers always find a way to bypass the system and make it work for their advantage, but the software programs that the online gambling system uses are dynamic and evolves all the time.
It constantly goes through different updates to change how the security systems and foul play detection work, so any loopholes and software bugs are handled accordingly at a fast pace through their patching mechanisms. Anyone trying to cheat will be banned and their IP would be blocked, so it's not really worth trying to cheat while playing these online gambling games. Getting banned is much worse than losing to be honest.
2. Alcohol Is a Big Problem While Gambling
You will learn this soon enough as you play, if you start sipping in too much and gamble while on the sauce, then you're going to have some serious losing streaks. You need to understand that drinking any alcoholic beverages can dull your senses and your logic would be irrational, so making a decision while drunk is a terrible idea when you play these games.
We know that alcohol can make everything better, but to avoid any losses when you gamble; you need to drink water, juice or soda. What if it gets really bad that you lost so much money online and when you come to your senses, you won't even remember that you played. So don't take any chances, play it safe and keep focusing on the game.
3. You Need to Keep Your Eyes Open
Speaking about focusing when you gamble, it's extremely important that you should avoid any distractions when you play. Online casino games can get messy and tense sometimes, that's why you need to be alert and bringing in your "A" game constantly. You cannot multitask as you play, even though the mobile versions of the casino games are so easily accessed and portable.
If you find yourself getting tired, sleepy, or you're just not in the right mindset anymore; the best thing you can do is to take a little break, there's no need to exhaust yourself, if you want to sleep then take a little nap. You can come back refreshed later, after your break, focused and ready to make some decent amount of money.
4. There Are So Many Offers Available
There is a nice pure marketing method that these companies carry out on their platforms and websites, they provide chances for gamblers to get nice gifts with various promotions. Tropicana online is one of those places that try their best to attract more people, so you should look around and find these promotions and take advantage of the discounts.
Once you find these trusted platforms, you can get a lot of decent offers, and you can get the tropicana casino promo code to help make your experience a little more exciting and worth your while. It's an extremely lucrative method and a win-win situation for the company and the customer. Everyone can go home happy, and you can bet knowing that you saved a little money at the beginning of the process.
5. You can Master Your Bluffing Techniques
Bluffing was something that always made a difference in winning or losing a gambling game, it's extremely hard to pull off correctly in the real world. That's why only expert gamblers in traditional casinos can gain a lot just from bluffing, confusing their opponents and reeling them in with their money. But with the online version of these games, it's a whole different story.
If you truly want to succeed in this online casino world; you need to know when is the perfect time for you to bluff, and how you can perfect it as you play. This isn't necessarily cheating or against the rules, it's actually a smart tactic to misdirect whoever you're playing against. So it can help you in tight situations when you know it's your only way to win.
6. Bonuses Are Great
As you get used to gambling online, you will notice some terms in every game you play. Most people ignore or skip it, but you shouldn't do that. You should read those terms properly and understand how these bonuses work, there could be hidden restrictions or methods that you need to do to gain those bonuses. And it's perfect to have them because it's what makes it better than the traditional methods of gambling, online casino world constantly attracts people to play more because of it.
So it's really in your best interest to take advantage of these bonuses offered by the different online casino platforms, you can make a lot of money from it. Read the terms and conditions thoroughly, and make sure you follow the steps needed. Find out how much you need to deposit and amounts to be wagered in a bet, so you can gain those lucrative bonuses. It's much better than gambling without knowing that you could have gained a little extra from it.
7. You Gain A lot More Benefits If You Gamble Everyday
There are decent VIP programs for people that have a tendency of playing a lot on a specific platform, you enter a whole new category as a frequent player. You would learn that taking advantage of these perks available to you means that you're entitled to different rewards that can be super beneficial to you.
The VIP programs track how much you bet and how many hours you spend playing, then they shower you with stuff that not everyone can get. These rewards can be special perks like cash back and loyalty gifts, ranging from electronics, vanity items, bonuses and vacation offer to travel abroad. So it wouldn't hurt to sign up for these programs and gain some extra stuff, remember to check the details on your online casino website that you play on. Sit back and enjoy the extra stuff you can win from gambling.
8. Their Systems Are Designed To Make You Win
Believe it or not, the online casino platforms want more winners. The online gambling business indeed wants profits, but that business is nothing without its customers. The more they win; the more people come in and play, so that means more profits for the industry anyways. Your odds of winning are much higher when you play these games compared to their traditional counterparts.
You will soon realize as you gamble that the chances of your jackpots are higher because of the extended online software networks, in simple terms that means nine times out of 10 you will win. If you combine the integrated extended software networks in casino games with the VIP programs for frequent players, then your online gambling experience would be 10 times more rewarding and you'll make a lot of money doing it.
9. You Will Learn That Less Is More
Being smart is key if you want to win big in the online casino world, you have to be smart with your deposits and bets. It might take time, but you should always spend less to gain more money. For example, you should play with small $50 spins to make your gaming sessions longer and more enjoyable. If you're on a $200 budget, wouldn't it be better to do it four times rather than just putting all your money in at once?
It's like a game of chance, the more chances you have the better. You don't want to run out of money way too early. Playing this way also gives you four chances to collect cash instead of one chance, and that's what you should aim for if you ask me. Don't be too hasty and put all your money in one go, you might just lose it with a snap of a finger just like that.
10. Statistics Are Everything
This is absolutely true in the online casino world, as you play a lot; you will realize that it's a matter of stats and how you play the game. You will go through a lot of games, and you will see that playing the right one for you means you will win more. It's a matter of calculating your odds of winning, taking into consideration the risks involved when you play. You can even practice using the free-to-play versions of the games to be a little safer, it's great for people that don't want to gamble in vain.
The best thing you should do is to focus on one of the two games that you enjoy the most, the ones that are easier for you to learn and play. Because once you've learned these games well enough that you become a pro at it, you can master the best play-styles and methods to make you win more. It will need some research at the start, but once you get the hang of it, then it will be like a second language to you.
11. Sometimes You Win, And Sometimes You Lose
Sooner or later, you will find out this hard-hitting fact. Eventually, as you gamble and play these games; you are going to lose, and It's just a matter of time. But overall you will realize that it's not the end of the world, and it shouldn't make you panic or lose focus. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to make up for your losses, anxiety and getting worried won't do much good for you. Get back on that horse and try again!
Life always comes with ups and downs, and that's the case even in the online casino world. Think of it as any other traditional profession, you will have days where you gain a lot, and days where it's dry as a desert. So be prepared for the inevitability of those days, prepare yourself mentally to accept it and brush it off. Keep it fresh and always research for new strategies for better game-styles as you gamble, it's the best thing you can do other than wallowing in your self-pity after a loss.
Who would have thought that online casinos can teach you so much! Not to mention make your wallet and bank account a little bigger in the process too, and the industry will keep reeling people in for possible riches. Play at your own risk and be smart when you gamble, figure out the best way to win and stick to it.

Court won't hear gay dads' birth certificate case
Law Center - POSTED: 2011/10/12 10:56
Law Center - POSTED: 2011/10/12 10:56
The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a gay couple who want both of their names to appear on the Louisiana birth certificate of the child they adopted.
The court said Tuesday it won't review a federal appeals court ruling against the adoptive parents. The appeals court ruled that the Louisiana registrar's insistence that only one father's name can go on the certificate does not violate the child's right to equal protection under the law or deny legal recognition of the adoption by both men. The adoption occurred in New York, which allows same-sex couples to adopt.
Louisiana says its birth certificate policy reflects state law prohibiting adoption by unmarried couples, whether heterosexual or gay.

Phishing attacks carried out by injecting malicious content in legitimate traffic are difficult to detect when attackers use an embedded browser framework or any other automated tool for authentication.
For example, the embedded browser framework Google offers Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF) that allows embedding Chromium-based browsers in other applications.
Google announced that starting from June, it will block sign-ins from these frameworks.
"However, one form of phishing, known as "man in the middle" (MITM), is hard to detect when an embedded browser framework (e.g., Chromium Embedded Framework – CEF) or another automation platform is being used for authentication. MITM intercepts the communications between a
Google suggests developers currently using CEF for authentication to switch to the browser-based OAuth authentication.
The browser-based OAuth authentication also allows users to see the full URL of the page where they are entering their credentials, this could help them to avoid phishing websites mimicking legit ones.
"The solution for developers currently using CEF for authentication is the same: browser-based OAuth authentication. Aside from being secure, it also enables users to see the full URL of the page where they are entering their credentials, reinforcing good anti-phishing practices," continues Google.

My Good Opinion
"My good opinion once lost, is lost forever." So says Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy to Miss Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen's beloved novel, Pride & Prejudice.
It has been a staple of my library since I was 16-years-old. I read it three to four times a year and not always from the beginning. Like an old friend, I can pick up from where I left off without feeling like any time has passed between.
Mr. Darcy's quote has always been nothing more than an insight into his personality for me — that is, until a recent girl's movie night when I discovered it's a fault he and I share.
My mom has been eager to share the mini-series Lost in Austen with me. A program that would appeal to any Austen-addict, it portrays what would happen if a present-day, Austen-obsessed young woman traded places with Elizabeth Bennet. The concept intrigued me. So my mom, sister, and I settled in for a heavy dose of the Bennets, Bingleys, Mr. Darcy, and the rest.
For me, the most surprising part of the mini-series was the way it twisted the original plot and characters. Instead of a conniving villain, Wickham ends up a misunderstood and misrepresented young man. It was eye opening to watch Amanda Price, the main character of the movie, discover that her preconceived ideas of Austen's characters were false. She had to allow for individuals to be different than she had judged them to be.
Amanda's struggle caused me to realize that I too have the fault Mr. Darcy confessed. Like him, "my good opinion once lost, is lost forever."
I recognized how easily I define people in my life by past circumstances and how loath I am to let that opinion go.
Obviously, I can see that this has an impact on my relationships with people who have wronged me or made poor decisions in their life. It wasn't until a few days later, however, when I read the story of Barnabas, Paul, and John Mark in Acts that I realized the impact it could have on another's future.
In Acts 12-13, Barnabas and Paul set out on their first missionary journey. Barnabas takes the lead as he mentors Saul. Barnabas chooses to bring his cousin, John Mark, along with them. Unfortunately, after just a couple of stops, John Mark separates from the missionaries and heads home for Jerusalem (Acts 13:13). There is no mention made of why this split occurs, but from Paul's future behavior towards John Mark, I assume it was not a mutual decision.
While preparing for their second missionary journey, Barnabas wants to give John Mark a second chance. He once again invites him along (Acts 15). Paul isn't too keen on the idea. Acts 15:38 says, "Paul kept insisting that they should not take him along who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work." This disagreement between the two men proves to be enough to separate them into two missionary parties — Barnabas and John Mark going to Cypress and Paul and Silas traveling through Syria (Acts 15:39-41).Barnabas chose to remain loyal to his kinsman and not judge him based on the past.
Paul, like many of us, wasn't willing to risk trusting someone who had previously disappointed him.
The story doesn't end there, however. Years later, from a Roman prison cell, Paul wrote the following to the Colossians:
Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also Barnabas's cousin Mark (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him) … these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me. (Colossians 4:10-11).
Additionally, when writing to Timothy, Paul gives these instructions: "Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service" (2 Timothy 4:11).
Paul encourages the church to welcome John Mark and describes him as both an encouragement and useful! This shows that not only were Paul and John Mark reconciled to each other, but also that Paul exhorts the churches to honor and respect him. What a wonderful example of the impact that loyalty and second chance can have on a person's life. Not only did John Mark go on to prove his worthiness as a fellow worker with Paul, he eventually became one of the four authors of the gospels. This man, who was judged to be untrustworthy and useless by Paul, was reclaimed by the loyalty of his family member.
How many people in my life have I hindered from reaching their God-given potential by not providing them with a second chance?
It seems arrogant to think that I could affect God's plan for someone by my disloyalty to them, but that doesn't negate the truth of the idea. An even more important question is how many people have had to give me a second chance in my lifetime in order for me to be the person I am today? To borrow a phrase from Jane Austen, "it is a truth universally acknowledged" that everyone in my life will hurt or disappoint me at some point.
The choice I have to make is whether to remain loyal to them and believe in who they are or to let that situation define them, holding them to that moment, frozen in time.
In Pride & Prejudice, both Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet change their opinions of each other from the beginning of the book to the end. Having recognized my Darcy-esque fault I too desire to see a change in myself that I will remain loyal to people and choose to see the good in them. I want my good opinion to stick around.

In early summer the delicate flowers of chamomile bloom profusely, creating a pretty, yellow and white carpet over their lacy leaves.
In early summer the delicate flowers of chamomile bloom profusely, creating a pretty, yellow and white carpet over their lacy leaves. We harvest them every few days and lay them on a table in a dark room to dry. Chamomile blossoms aid digestion and are used medicinally for stomachaches and insomnia. They are also one of the flowers buried in an animal part and put into our compost piles.
Yarrow, with its unique potassium and sulfur combination, helps give the compost the power to receive so much life into itself that it is able to transmit life to the soil. But we must also make the compost able to bind together the calcium compounds. Chamomile assimilates calcium, along with sulfur, which keeps the plants healthy and free from the harmful effects of fruiting. Calcium is important for moving nitrogen into the plant, and plants need this continual flow during reproduction to remain in good health.
Seeing that chamomile heals our digestion, we want to bury it enclosed in a piece of intestines. The cow is the supreme example of digestion in the animal world. Unlike the nervous deer sensing every sound and ready to leap away, a cow contentedly chews its cud and allows for human contact. You can hardly find two mammals with more opposite natures.
For eighteen days, grass gradually turns to manure inside the cow. First it goes into a large stomach, the rumen, which looks like a shag carpet inside. There must be miles of surface area, engendering amazing micro flora and fauna. Then the cow coughs it back up and chews it again. This time it goes down to the reticulum, and then to the omasum and finally the abomasums.
Each stomach lining is more refined than the one before, and the grass gets to looking more and more like manure. That's what we find in the intestines. This whole process of digestion in ruminants created the possibility of agriculture, because these animals make more fertilizer than needed for the plants they graze on. The miraculous microbial activity generated inside a cow deserves our awe and respect.
The intestines hang on the isles of messentaria, and I cut them off with a sharp knife, being careful not to puncture them. They are a hundred feet long! I rinse them and cut foot long sections and tie one end off.
Chamomile tea moistens the dried flowers, and a small funnel is inserted into the open end. I stuff the chamomile into the section of intestines and pack it tight. Sometimes I have a blowout where the tie comes off the other end, or a hole opens in the side. But eventually I have a bunch of sausages, with chamomile in them instead of meat.
You may have noticed I did the yarrow two different ways, one with fresh yarrow in a reconstituted, dried stag bladder, and the other with dried flowers, moistened, and sewn up in a fresh bladder. Rudolf Steiner gave the simple instructions for making compost preparations in 1924 and then died soon after. I could kill him! Biodynamic practitioners ever since have been experimenting because we couldn't get more specific answers to all the questions which arise and the different ways it could be done.
Sometimes I bury the sausage directly, but this time I decided to hang them up like the bladders for a few months. Then I find a place with real rich soil to bury them over the winter. The transformation when I dig them in the spring is obvious, the flowers are gone and a deep brown humus like substance is inside, slick, shiny, and ready to go into the compost heap.
We get a compost with a more stable nitrogen content with the added virtue of kindling the life in the earth. The earth itself will have a wonderfully stimulating effect on the plant growth, creating conditions for truly healthy plants. Chamomile's tiny amount of sulfur attracts calcium compounds and draws them into the organic process. It's the perfect flower to make sausages with to help enliven the compost piles.

The US economy grew slower than first thought in the fourth quarter.
A revision to the GDP numbers released today shows that the US economy grew at an annualized rate of 2.2% in the last three months of 2014, slower than the 2.6% pace originally reported. Here's an updated look at US growth over the last few years, with today's numbers.
But the slower pace of growth actually might be good news: One of the key reasons growth was revised lower was company inventories were smaller than first thought in the fourth quarter. That could signal slightly stronger growth at the start of 2015, as companies stocked up for the American consuming public.
Moreover, imports rose more than first expected, resulting in a larger trade deficit, which in the calculus of GDP actually subtracts from growth. But that also suggests that American consumers are gaining strength. Consumer spending continued to rise at a 4.2% clip in the fourth quarter, which is its fastest pace in years.
Data out yesterday showed American consumers got their best inflation-adjusted boost to weekly earnings in years this January, thanks to plummeting oil prices, slight wage increases and rising hours worked. And since consumers are the major driver of the US economy, that's a very good sign.

Take a Tree
Take a tree
and its bond to the Earth,
its spell upon the sky
its stretch and swing among the squirrels.
That tree is all trees,
powerful without a pulse,
slow to hunger and slow to react.
It sleeps when it wakes,
receiving its action even when in full bloom.
Somebody climbed that tree,
wanted to build a fort but didn't,
just sat between a strong forked branch
and looked across and down.
Another touched that tree, its crust trunk,
the folds and curves of its sensual permanence.
In that touch was found a different measure of time,
a way to stand back and wait for growth.
In that touch was a shifting,
deeper than meditation,
connecting below and above rooftops.
Take a tree, in any season, at any time of the day,
the alien dimensions it moves between,
its response to the moon.
Knock on that tree softly and it will open.
It will greet you,
invite you in and show you a place
without dance, without disorder –
primordial creation, a wellspring-confidence,
a dream that has no dreamer.

Why is it that there are things in this life that we KNOW are good for us and yet we don't do them? Even if they're easy? Even if the minimal amount of work that they require will yield enormous results, ones that'll absolutely transform our day-to-day experiences for the better?
In case you couldn't tell from the picture, or the title of this post, I'm talking about sharpening your knife. Raise your hand if you've had your knife sharpened lately. OK, very good, you can leave the classroom. Everyone else: listen up! Go to your kitchen right now and grab a tomato. Then get your main knife, your chef's knife, the one that you use to chop everything. Drag it across the tomato without applying any pressure. Did it make a slice or did it barely make a dent? If it made a slice, very good, you too can leave the classroom. If not, it's time we had a talk.
Look, I'm just like you, I don't get my knives sharpened that often. But this past weekend I went to the Atwater Village Farmer's Market, where there's a knife sharpener, and I brought my two main knives with me.
I asked the knife sharpener there (the person, not the machine) how often I should get my knives sharpened? It was as if I'd asked someone at Marie's Crisis to talk about their favorite musical. (Sorry, Marie's Crisis is my favorite show tune bar in New York, in case you didn't know that.)
Anyway, he launched into a rant that made a lot of sense to me. He used his ruler for reference and said, "Imagine that this ruler is measuring time." OK, done. "This first inch is the amount of time that your knife will stay razor sharp after a sharpening." This is the kind of sharp that slices a tomato without any pressure. "It's about two weeks."
"Then," he indicated the next few inches, "you have very sharp, which'll last a month or so." Then he indicated the next few inches. "Then there's just sharp."
Basically, he said, if you cook a lot and use your knives a lot, you should ideally get your knives sharpened every two weeks. (NOTE: I realize that this is his business and it would make sense for him to lie to me to get me to pay for knife sharpening as often as possible, but he didn't seem like the lying type.) (Oh, SECOND NOTE: I know some of you will chime in and say, "Getting your knife sharpened that often will ruin your knife!" But these aren't precious knives to me, they're just the knives I use right now.)
Anyway, this is all leads to me coming home and using the just-sharpened knife.
Man, what a dream! Not only did it slice through a tomato without any pressure, chopping an onion was an entirely different experience.
Whereas, just a few days earlier, chopping an onion was a chore that made my eyes water and involved flecks of onion strips flying all over the board, the just-sharpened knife made it so much easier. It just glided through that onion and, more importantly, it felt a million times safer. There wasn't that chance that's always present that the knife would slip and slice my finger off. It immediately went right through the onion.
Which brings us back to my first sentence: Why is it that there are things in this life that we KNOW are good for us and yet we don't do them? Well this is me yelling at you to go take the tomato test and, if your knife doesn't pass, to get thee to a knife sharpener to get your knives sharpened. I promise, you won't believe the difference. Your fingers and tear ducts will write you "thank you" notes and your chopped onions will never look better.
OK, class dismissed.

RATIONALE. According to cognitive theory, people who are aggressive expect angry responses to ambiguous situations. Increased aggression has been reported a few days or weeks following use of MDMA (ecstasy). This may relate to low 5-HT release, and so a 5-HT challenge may increase cognitive bias towards anger differentially in MDMA users and non-users. OBJECTIVES. To investigate whether: (1) measures of anger and aggression will correlate with processing time of angry material and with generation of aggressive responses and (2) tryptophan challenge in people abstinent from MDMA and controls will affect angry cognitive bias. METHODS. Thirty-two current MDMA users abstinent for 3 weeks, 32 ex-users abstinent for longer than 1 year and 32 non-MDMA substance users were recruited. Trait measures were administered before and state measures before and 5 h after an amino acid drink, depleted or augmented with tryptophan. After the drink, subjects undertook a computer task, which involved reading ambiguous short stories. Reading times to a key sentence describing an angry or non-angry reaction were recorded and subjects wrote a continuing sentence for half the stories. RESULTS. Subjects were faster to process angry than non-angry reactions, indicating the presence of angry cognitive bias. Trait anger and aggression were correlated with processing time of angry relative to non-angry reactions, particularly in the current users. Impulsivity was correlated with non-specific speed of response. Subjects wrote more aggressive sentences after an angry reaction. Tryptophan depletion tended to increase aggressive content. Trait aggression was correlated with aggressive content following non-angry reactions. CONCLUSIONS. Evidence of angry cognitive bias was shown in this group of substance users, which was not specific to MDMA use. People high on trait aggression were more likely to expect an angry reaction to an ambiguous situation and to generate more written aggression when this did not occur.

Notwithstanding months of expressed concern by industry analysts and market watchers that Apple's iPhone 5s is losing its luster in the smartphone arena, nothing could be further from the truth.
Based on the latest industry data and informed analyst projections, Apple's iPhone 5s remains the dominant device in the domestic smartphone market.
As of the end of March, Apple's iPhone 5s continued to gain ground on sagging Android device sales. Just this Thursday, Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley told investors that the weakest smartphone sales are now those for Android devices.
For the time being, Canaccord Genuity's research indicates that the iPhone 5S is still the top smartphone seller in the U.S.
It should be noted, however, that this reality may change when Samsung's eagerly anticipated new Galaxy S5 arrives in the coming days.
"With our surveys indicating gradually increasing consumer interest in and pre-order activity for these new Android smartphones, we anticipate new high-end Android smartphones will gain market share versus the iPhone during the June quarter," Walkley says.

Cadillac DeVille 1965 Description1965 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
~Original 429cid. Cadillac v8 Motor~Clean 51 Year old Cadillac Coupe~Lowered on Fat White Walls"Cadillac, the STANDARD of the World"~NO RESERVE AUCTION~
Up for a NO RESERVE auction is a SWEET slammed 1965 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. This ride is a perfect example of a 51 year original California beach cruiser. The Cadillac is a survivor and hasbenefitedfrom the mild Northern California weather climate. The body is pretty solid and rust free. Few define California Car Culture more than a mid 60's Cadillac coupe deville. The iconic 1965 styling of a Cadillac coupe blended with some West Coast flavor, sitting low on fat white wall tires with metal flake paint sparkling in the California sun. The car is originally green with a white and green interior but has been repainted back when Metal flake was the HOT style. Essentially what we have here is a clean California cruiser. It runs and drives strong, lights work, brakes work, gauges work, etc. It wouldn't take very much effort to turn this into a $20-30k Cadillac show ride or leave it as is as one bad-ass patina cruiser. One thing is guaranteed; and that is a mid-60's Cadillac coupe Deville will always have a strong demand and continue to rise in value.NO RESERVE AUCTION and WILL SELL TO THE LAST BIDDER!NO RESERVE AUCTION
MechanicallyI would say this car is in decent shape for 51 years old. It starts up on the first turn and goes into gear smoothly. The original big block 429 Cadillac motor runs strong and shifts smoothly in all gears. There is a minor oil leak but other than that no other fluids leak. The car brakes smoothly as well. All the lights front and rear are in working order as well as the speedometer and gas gauge. (VIDEO BELOW OF THIS CAR RUNNING AND DRIVING)
Cosmetically this Cadillac has the original patina of a California car. The body is in pretty good shape there are no rust holes underneath any of the panels. There are a few dings here and there but expected of a car that is 51 years old. It is missing theobvioustrim pieces on the exterior as well as interior but for the most part it is complete and original. the previous owner had try to convert the white interior black and added some Mexican sancho blanket seats. Theoriginalseat leather is in good shape with no tears, the green inserts are what show their age and could be replaced. The Power windows work and can be rolled up and down but does not have the original switches. The headliner is in great shape.
I have described this Vehicle to the best ofmy knowledge and have included well over 100 photos as well as a Video. Remember this is a 51 year old Car. If you have any SPECIFIC questions don't hesitate and please ask. I will respond ASAP.Thank You and GOOD LUCK!
