Dialog Semiconductor plc (FWB: DLG), a provider of highly integrated power management, audio and short range wireless technologies, today announced that Avantec Manufacturing Ltd has selected its ultra low power Green VoIP chipset for two new phones for the Asian hotel resort and serviced apartment markets. Avantec is using Dialog's SC14461 processor and Rhea(TM) software in its Hotel VoIP PH656 and Trimline VoIP PH658 corded phones.
Dialog's technology reduces the power usage of a VoIP phone by half, saving up to 2 Watts per device over comparable solutions on the market. Its multicore architecture features three processors that run on lower clock frequencies and are activated according to actual usage needs. One 16-bit CompactRISC(TM) processor is used to manage the VoIP software, networking stack and user interface and two programmable Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) to handle the real-time audio. The chipset also includes a Class D amplifier to support hands-free speakers on the phones.
Louis Y. Lei, Product Manager at Avantec Manufacturing Ltd, commented, 'Dialog's Green VoIP processors have the lowest power consumption figures in the industry as well as providing superb audio quality, which we believe will bring significant benefits our hospitality customers throughout Asia. Dialog's easy-to-use Rhea software, tools and comprehensive support have enabled us to accelerate the availability of our new VoIP phones.'
Using the G.722 High Definition (HD) wideband voice standard, Dialog's DSPs compress the audio signals and extend their frequency range to 16kHz to enhance speech quality and reduce bandwidth usage. Combined with advanced acoustic echo cancellation software algorithms, this helps to deliver crystal clear conversations.
Sean McGrath, Vice President of the Connectivity, Automotive and Industrial business group at Dialog Semiconductor, commented, 'Dialog's Green VoIP technology is very energy-efficient in comparison to other solutions on the market, enabling Avantec's hospitality customers to save money by running voice and data communications over one network and ensure the sound quality of the calls is exceptionally high. It's a market that has significant potential for growth as standard hotel PBXs provide limited features and are very expensive to purchase and maintain.'

Why age 70 isn't the new 65
News Analysis
(MoneyWatch) As debt ceiling rhetoric heats up and lawmakers get set to address entitlement reform, expect to hear more talk about raising the Social Security eligibility age. Yet while average life expectancy has increased in the U.S., "the rise has been very uneven since the 1970s," according to New York Times columnist and Princeton economist Paul Krugman. In other words, not all Americans qualify as "average" when it comes to living a long, full life.
People who are wealthier and better educated have seen life expectancy increase, while those in the bottom half have been less fortunate. That's why I am nervous when so many people say their retirement plan is to "work longer." The Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) has used data from millions of 401(k) participants and incorporated factors like longevity, investment risk and the potential for catastrophic health care costs to determine whether working five years beyond the "normal" retirement age of 65 helps Americans reach their retirement goals. What they found was that those five extra years may not be enough for many Americans to retire comfortably.
- "Chaining" inflation gauge would hurt Social Security recipients
- Reboot your retirement
- U.S. CEOs push plan to raise full retirement age
The analysis looked at both income and age. As you might expect, projections for the lowest pre-retirement income quartile are the most sobering. This group would need to defer retirement to age 84 before 90 percent of them would have even a 50 percent probability of achieving comparable pre-retirement living standards. The results improve with income levels, but even among those in the highest income quartile, 90 percent have only a 50 percent chance of having enough to retire by 70. When broken out by age, the news isn't much better: For one-third of households in which the people were between ages 30 and 59 as of 2007, working until age 70 won't provide adequate income in retirement.
Reasons not to touch your 401K
All this aside, buried in the report is a glimmer of hope -- working longer does help. While only about half of households age 50-59 in 2007 could retire at 65, the number increases to nearly two-thirds if retirement age is increased to 70. Those extra five years have a dual effect. Not only do workers save more, they also delay dipping into their retirement funds, allowing those funds to continue growing.
In the past, I have extolled some of the non-financial benefits of working longer, namely the continued social interaction and intellectual engagement. A previous EBRI report confirmed that 92 percent of those who worked beyond the traditional retirement age of 65 do so because they want "to stay active and involved," and 86 percent say they "enjoyed working." The problem is that there are some real risks associated with relying on the "work longer" retirement plan, the most significant being: What if you lose your job?
Right now, the unemployment rate is 7.8 percent for all workers and only 5.9 percent for workers over the age of 55. But dig a little deeper and the numbers aren't quite so rosy. While older workers are holding on to their jobs in large numbers, once they lose those positions it is very difficult to land a new one.
According to a 2012 Government Accountability Office study, before the recession "less than a quarter of unemployed older workers were unemployed for longer than 27 weeks. By 2011, this number had increased to 55 percent. Moreover, by 2011 over one-third of all unemployed older workers had been unemployed for over a year."
The data confirm that counting on working longer could be a dangerous assumption for retirement. That's why it's best to use the "three-legged stool" approach to saving during your working years, spending less during retirement and working longer if you are able to do so. Consider this approach a diversified way to reach retirement that allows you to weigh the practicality of each method.
As the EBRI report notes, the trade-off of more saving today versus deferring retirement is an important step in the process, but people should avoid "simplistic 'rules of thumb' that may result in future retirees, through no fault of their own, coming up short."
One way to get started on your retirement planning is to check out EBRI's "Ballpark E$timate" calculator. It's an easy-to-use, two-page worksheet that helps you quickly identify approximately how much you need to save to fund a comfortable retirement. Without a plan you may be flying blind and relying on a "work longer" strategy that you may not be able to execute. In other words, 70 is not the new 65.

- Actually, this might save social security. In America, once you hit 45 and go looking for a job, you will find that you are not hired. If citizens have to go from the age of 45 to 70 without work, awaiting social security, it's a good bet that many will starve or succumb to an uninsured illness. This inflated die-off will leave fewer people to compete for the available social security funds.
Truly a plan that even our lower house can find attractive. - reply

- What a cruel joke - there is rampant age discrimination in hiring already, no one wants to hire a worker in their 50's, and you want to delay retirement until 70 ??? What are people who have worked hard all their lives supposed to do for income ? When a company needs to "downsize" they let their older and higher paid workers go. Where can those people apply for jobs ? Capitalism - anything for the buck - is a cruel, vicious system, that sucks the life out of you and spits you out. Americans need to realize this. All you young bucks clamoring to destroy unions and let people sink, this will be YOU one day. Is THAT the American dream, to be old, sick, and broke ?
- reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- An excellent comment! Corporate America wants to raise the retirement age to 70 while it adopts a secret policy of age discrimination.
That is a fact of life in America for the last couple decades. Everyone, who has been looking for work, knows that most large to small companies don't provide job opportunities to anyone over the age of 40!
As a result, if you are between the age of 40 to 70, you will be struggling to find a decent job. Yet, at the same time, you won't be able to collect SS benefits. It is a classic case of being too old to get hired, but being too young to collect retirement benefits.
That is living in America today. There are many countries in the World where the standard of living for the middle-aged people is much better than in capitalist America.

- Making employees work longer stifles hiring of new graduates and a younger workforce. If we want to stimulate the economy, then we need to create jobs, not hang onto the ones we have. Just because life expectancy is longer doesn't mean it is a health and productive longer life. It just means we use more medical services to keep us going.

- One little problem. IF you put off retirement till 67 and IF you live that long, do you actually gain anything or does inflation wipe out what you would have gained. My suspicion is that you don't gain anything.

- Or another crash a la 1987 or 2007 wiping everyone out...
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- With respect to Social Security, the common concern is that people are on average living longer while benefits are in pay status. The challenge to arbitrarily raising the retirement age is that mortality is more variable as people age. So raise the date for "full benefits" to 70, keep the early start option at 62, and adjust the early start reduction factors to reflect extended mortality. Individuals can choose when to start based on their personal circumstances.

- How do they live longer?
Where is the REAL evidence?
Did everybody die at 35 back in 1900, but then - bloop - now we're all magically living to 120 (with all the ails of life taking longer to develop as well), despite plenty of news articles that tell of people in their 80s, 70s, 60s, 50s, and even 40s snuffing it early?
Some stats are longer because we have far more people on this planet than never before and because there are working classes with access to fresh, inexpensive water and inexpensive nutritious food...
And since obesity is a cause of premature death, yet more of our population is fatter, that directly contradicts any claims we're all living longer.

- Too many blue collar workers are in "tough" labor jobs. Try jack hammering concrete for a couple of hours. Carry a pallet full of shingles up a two story ladder. Carry a shoulder full of brick up some shaky scaffolding. How about the "easy job," hold the highway sign in 115 degree heat in Arizona (try that for a couple of hours!) And finally, lay ceramic tile on a 50,000 sq. ft. theater floor down on your hands and knees all week.
The unions have a decent pension in place for these men because they know by the time they're fifty five or sixty they're bodies are completely shot!
Being forced to work until age seventy is ludicrous. If, on the other hand you have a nice professional practice as a CPA, dentist, physician or engineer you might want to work all your life but ironically, none of these men need Social Security to live on. - reply
- linkicon reporticon emailicon
- almost true but not quite.
I agree with your thoughts about the labor trades, very rough on the body and health, and no way you can keep doing that into your 60's even.
The part I do not agree with are that CPAs, engineers, programmers, etc do not need Social Security. They do actually, my uncle an example of that, 40+ years as an engineer at GM, retired then found out Obama handed all the money over to the Union so uncle got no pension that he had paid into for 40+ years. Oh well. So he definitely needs the social security.
sometimes we make blanket statements and assumptions, based on what career someone has, for example everyone thinks Federal employees are set for life, and maybe some are, but no guarantee their pensions will be there 15 years from now. On the other hand, it is not like they worked up a sweat for the 40 or 50 years they spent as a Federal government employee, I know, I live next to one and he has never experienced "stress" in the workplace! went straight into a fed job right after a few easy years in the air force, so he has never been in a private sector job and truely is completely clueless - - thinks everyone that retires will have the same benefits and perks as he does! I am not kidding you. Totally out of touch.
Anyways, there are a lot of white collar jobs where they are no better off at retirement than the blue collars. But at least they are not dealing with major major punishment issues on the body! Just sore necks and carpal tunnel syndrome! (lol)
I think every person may have their own demons to deal with, come retirement age, unless one is incredibly wealthy.

- One point not discussed here. Statistics show that the longer you wait to retire, the shorter time you live.

- Social Security and Medicare aren't free and are paid for by the participant. Unlike welfare and Medicaid, which is an entitlement since it's given out free to the recipient. The paltry increase in Social Security doesn't even meet the increase in basic Medicare and any supplemental insurance the recipient is forced to get. The programs are broke thanks in large part to the president raiding Social Security of $716 billion for his healthcare reform. Working longer won't be the answer either, and as a senior on SS, I can't even find regular part-time work. Washington caused the problems by also giving benefits to people coming here legally and who are documented, but who aren't citizens yet and who never put into the system.

Cricket's online chat SUCKS!
what makes me angry is how rude the online chat reps are. i can understand that they cannot assist current customers, but there is no need to be rude about it.
i broke my phone, and i went online to look at their new phones, and the chat box pops up, and it asks if i need help shopping. i clicked yes, and the drop down menu had the option for purchasing question. since i had purchasing questions, i chose that.
the rep answered none of my questions, just told me to go to the store, and then he ended the chat, but not before telling me that he did not design the website, and that the online prices are for new customers only.
i chatted with another rep, and he started typing in bold letters, as if he was yelling at me.
i did the survey at the end of the chat, and i gave everyone i chatted with poor ratings.
it is really sad that wireless companies treat new customers better than the current customers.

Conventional potato production in Washington State remains remarkably pesticide intensive, according to the most recent data (crop year 2005) on pesticide use from the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service.
On the average acre of potatoes planted in Washington in 2005 --
- Over 10 different pesticides were applied, including 4.6 fungicides, 2.2 herbicides, 3 insecticides, and 1.3 other pesticides;
- Over 17 acre-treatments were made on each acre (an "acre-treatment" is the application of a single pesticide to an acre or field);
- Almost 10 pounds of fungicides were applied per acre, over 5 pounds of insecticides, and 2 pounds of herbicides, for a total 14 pounds of H+I+F per acre.
The above totals do not count the average 103 pounds per acre of "Other Pesticides" applied on Washington State potato fields. These other pesticides include the soil fumigant metam-sodium, which is applied at a rate of 158 pounds per acre and dichloropropene (applied at 160 pounds/acre).

Just because a person listens to HIM does not make them a "bamtard". there are those of us out there who like HIM and cannot stand the stupid fuckup Ville Valo hangs out with.
in short, it's a combination of "bam" and "retard"... making a "bamtard" somebody who is stupid (retarded) enough to like bam. can also be somebody who freakishly obsessed in the teenybopper form. Bamtard is such a stupid word.
1. | bamtard | ||
Someone who is freakishly obsessed with Bam Margera. Most commonly found on the BMMB. A bamtard would say: OMG I luv the bamagram, it's soooo kewl! Bam's hottttt!!!!!11 Element rawks and so does Bam's band CKY!!!!!!!
2. | bamtard | ||
someone who likes HIM because they like Bam. Look at that stupid Bamtard.
3. | Bamtard | ||
Someone who is comepeltely obsessed with Bam Margera and copies his style/how he acts/what he does/how he speaks/etc. Not all HIM/CKY fans are Bamtards and not all people who like Bam are Bamtards. Person 1: HIM is the best band ever!
Person 2: Then you must like Bam too, right?! Person 1: Well I dont hate him, he's not bad..just not the greatest. Person 2: BAMTARD!!! Person 1: No, I'm not. But that teenybopper is::points to girl wearing a heartagram shirt calling it a "bamagram" and blabbering about how hott Bam is:: |
4. | bamtard | ||
Someone who is obsessed with Bam Margera.
I would just like to point out that cKy rocks and you don't have to like Bam to like cKy. Bam is just the brother of the drummer. That's it. I hate Bamtards because they try and dress like him and talk like him and they think he has the coolest most random show ever, but it's a scripted show. I pretty much hate Bam Margera because he is ruining the name of cKy. The other day i heard a kid say that cKy was "Bam's Band."
I almost killed that person. |
6. | Bamtard | ||
Bam Margera is a proskater well known for his pranks in Jackass and Viva La Bam. He also managed to destroy the image of some very talented bands such as HIM and Cky.
We call BAMTARDS all the idiot/retarded loyal followers who believe Bam created these bands or owns them for that matter. A bamtard will love HIM, Cky and will worship the heartagram (that he will call the bamagram) without even knowing what it stands for. (Bam unfortunately is a huge self-centered copycat- he was copying jackass' jhnny knoxville and now is copying his style from finnish rockstar Ville Valo). Some bamtards actually attend shows only in the hope of cathing him over there.... A bamtard loves Bam either because he is SO cool or SO very hot) and wishes he could either become him or marry him. Bam is just too cool to be true. I am a bamtard.
Bamtards should be shot. |
7. | bamtard | ||
some stupid kid who is obsessed with Bam Margera and everything that he does. Listens to HIM and CKY. That bamtard just said that hes suck Bam'a dick for 20$

Is Turkey More Worried |
Tweet |
Traveling with Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu allows for a good opportunity for a tour d'horizon of foreign policy, but sometimes you miss out on what is happening on the ground, as was the case yesterday. After landing in Brussels, he headed to the NATO Foreign Ministers meeting and we heard the news that the plane of our Energy Minister Taner Yilmaz was not allowed to land in Iraq.
About This Article
Summary :
Speaking to journalists while en route to a NATO meeting in Brussels, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that tensions between Baghdad and Erbil could quickly become an Arab-Kurd war in Iraq and that he is more worried about Iraq than Syria, writes Cengiz Candar.
Radikal (Turkey) Original Title: Talking Iraq-Syria While Chasing Patriots With Davutoglu Author: Cengiz Çandar First Published: December 5, 2012 Posted on: Translated by: Timur Goksel |
The tension with Baghdad cannot be dismissed. Remember how Baghdad was furious when Davutoglu visited Kirkuk. Was this payback? They cannot physically prevent the energy minister from going to Erbil by road. What was disturbing was yet another manifestation of the troubles in Ankara-Baghdad relations and shows that our tense relations are not confined only to the issue of Syria.
When you look at the map, it is obvious that Turkey doesn't have any problems with its ''real'' neighbor, Iraqi Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Regional Government under Massoud Barzani. To the contrary, these relations are improving by the day.
But tension between Erbil and Baghdad has the potential of developing into tension between Ankara and Baghdad. Of course we should not ignore Tehran's shadow, which is behind every move Baghdad makes against Erbil and Ankara. You have to watch the latest Middle East developments on a wide screen.
While chatting with Davutoglu on the plane — before learning about the problem with the energy minister — we asked him about his views on Erbil-Baghdad tensions. Davutoglu did not hide the fact that he is more worried about that issue than he is about the developments in Syria. When explaining why his concern for Iraq was greater than that for Syria, he said that the events in Iraq have the potential of turning into an Arab-Kurd war and the situation was truly serious. He added both sides — the Tigris Operations Command forces set up by Maliki and Kurdish peshmergas [fighters] — were potent and well-organized forces.
Davutoglu said the developments in Syria were relatively easy to predict, as the regime's capabilities are known. However, how the situation will develop in Iraq was not that easy to foresee. His views on the short life expectancy of the Syrian regime have not changed. He even perceives the resignation of the Syrian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Jihad Makdissi as an indicator of the crumbling of the regime.
In that case, why is Turkey pursuing Patriot missiles?
Ahmet Davutoglu said that Syria has far more than 500 missiles. "We know where they are, how many there are and how they move. We watch them constantly," Davutoglu said. The minister and his team do not expect Syria to use these missiles against Turkey, but with the disintegration of the regime these missiles could be taken over by "uncontrolled forces" and Turkey could not neglect the possibility of these forces firing the missiles.
One of Davutoglu's closest aides said: "Even if there is 1% or 3% probability of this happening, we cannot take the risk."
Patriots alone cannot handle all of Syria's missiles. Patriots are considered in concert with THAAD [Terminal High Altitude Air Defense] anti-missile systems and Aegis systems against missiles fired at very high altitudes.
The real purpose of the patriot missiles is to provide a deterrent against Syria and, more importantly, to show that Turkey is a part of a collective security system and that NATO will carry out its part in defending Turkey.
We learned that Patriot missiles were not mentioned in the meetings with Putin and Lavrov. But Davutoglu wanted to tell us that although the Istanbul Summit did not fully eliminate the differences between Ankara and Moscow over Syria, positions were becoming closer.
I understood that Turkey will continue with initiatives to shorten the life of the Syrian regime after the deployment of Patriot missiles, and will be in close contact with Egypt regarding the transition in Syria.
No doubt, developments in Iraq will be watched closely. Prevailing opinion is that Maliki believes that a civil war is inevitable in Iraq following the collapse of the Syrian regime and is positioning himself accordingly.
As you can see we are continuing to debate the Middle East in the air, on the ground and in the center of Europe.

Mexican Dessert Articles
Useful Mexican Dessert Articles - If you wonder about the stories behind Mexican dessert dishes, you want tips on making the best Mexican dessert recipes or you are simply curious what kind of desserts ancient Mexicans used to eat and how modern Mexican desserts were developed, you should find our Mexican dessert articles section an interesting read...
Not many people have made Mexican dessert recipes. French desserts and Italian desserts are quite well known and most of us have had crepes, chocolate mousse, or tiramisu at some point. But what about Mexican desserts? A lot of people would find it difficult to name even one.
The truth is Mexican dessert dishes are well worth trying and, what is more, you can make your own Mexican desserts. Here are five top reasons to give Mexican dessert making a try:
1. Homemade Mexican desserts taste wonderful. When making your own desserts, as opposed to buying them, you can use the freshest ingredients. You have complete control what goes into the recipe and you can make adjustments if you like, especially as you become more familiar with Mexican desserts. Dessert making is fun and if you have kids at home, they can help to weigh out ingredients, stir the mixture and if they have helped to make it, they will also be more likely to eat the finished dessert without a fuss.
2. A lot of Mexican dessert recipes are simple and do not contain many ingredients. If you have made cookies before, you will find making Mexican cookies very similar. Mexican cakes are easy too and other sweet Mexican food recipes such as dessert burritos or Mexican flan are easy enough for even cooking beginners to master. Easy desserts are not boring desserts and, as with savory Mexican food recipes, a lot of Mexican desserts have cleverly blended ingredients and flavors which go together perfectly, which is why a lot of Mexican sweet treats contain very few ingredients.
3. Good authentic Mexican food is often difficult to find. If you do not have a local Mexican food store, you will either have to make your own Mexican desserts or be without them. Even if you do have a Mexican food store, surely homemade Mexican dessert recipes are preferable to frozen or prepackaged desserts from the store? A lot of Mexican desserts keep in the refrigerator or freezer. With Mexican cookies, they keep well in an airtight container so you can make a big batch of them and they will last.
4. Are you bored with the same old desserts every week? A lot of people seem to exist on apple pie, ice cream, chocolate cakes, and other popular American desserts. Whereas there is nothing wrong with eating American cuisine (and a lot of it is great), eating international dessert recipes now and then does make a refreshing change. In addition to that, homemade Mexican desserts are cheaper than imported Mexican dessert fare because you are using locally bought ingredients to make your own.
5. A lot of Mexican desserts are healthy. Mexican strawberry soup contains lots of strawberries. Mexican sweet corn cake is rich in corn kernels, which are nutritious. Other Mexican dessert dishes are not so healthy and are quite high in sugar and butter but Mexican desserts in general tend to be so rich and delicious that a small serving will satisfy your sweet tooth. If not, then there is no harm in enjoying a wonderful Mexican dessert if you have eaten a healthy main meal, is there? Desserts are meant to be enjoyed and most Mexican desserts are simple to create and easy to enjoy!

What comes to mind when thinking about typical Mexican food? If you think of tacos and tortillas, you are not alone because many people think these are the staples of Mexican food history. However, Mexican dessert recipes also feature heavily and some are so delicious that you will want to recreate them yourself! If you are looking for easy dessert recipes, Mexican dessert recipes might be just perfect.
Continued >>> Mexican Food History
Mexican cuisine is like no other and that includes Mexican dessert recipes. Where else in the world would chili be combined with chocolate or to enhance fruit flavors in dessert recipes?
Like many other cuisines, Mexican desserts include cakes, cookies and much more but Mexican cakes and cookies are instantly distinguishable from, and for example, French or German baked goods. Mexican bakeries are filled with all kinds of sweet breads and pastries and no preservatives are used in Mexican sweet bread recipes so these desserts are best eaten within a couple of days.
For many centuries, the Mexican people have had access to delicious tropical fruits such as pineapple, coconut, mango, and camotes. Native herbs were combined with imported European herbs as well as flavors from Africa. Cloves, pepper, saffron, chilies, chocolate, and Mesoamerican chilies were available to use in Mexican dessert recipes as well.
Cooks in colonial Mexico were already at a sophisticated creative level and were able to bring together diverse ingredients to discover new flavors. These recipes have been refined over time but many centuries old Mexican desserts are still beloved today.
Mexicans are creative and love to try new things, which is why there are also plenty of authentic Mexican desserts with new flavors.
For example, crème caramel, or flan in Mexican, is one of the most popular Mexican desserts of all time. You can vary the basic flan recipe by making coffee flan, chocolate flan, or coconut flan. Both chocolate and coconut are used in Mexican dessert recipes and slightly altering existing Mexican recipes is fine because Mexicans are naturally creative and know how to blend ingredients for delicious and unusual results.
Another example of this is Mexican empanadas. First developed as a savory dish, empanadas can also be filled with sweet ingredients like pumpkin, chocolate, honey and more. Mexican recipes are extremely versatile and the way in which Mexican dessert recipes can be subtly changed to make completely new desserts is one way in which Mexican desserts are both unique and magical.
A lot of people think Mexican food is all spicy and limited to the menu of Taco Bell but that is so inaccurate! Mexican dessert dishes are an interesting way to examine favorite Mexican flavorings. Mexicans love rich, luxurious flavors and textures.
Chocolate is dear to Mexican hearts, whether in the form of authentic Mexican desserts or warming Mexican drinks recipes and cinnamon, vanilla or cream are often used to enhance the experience. Coffee and nuts are also used to flavor Mexican food and chili can be used in sweet recipes.
Perhaps you think the combination of chili and chocolate is an unusual one but chocolate can also be used in savory recipes and chili gives it a wonderful kick and makes it literally burst with flavor in the mouth. Mexicans seem to have a natural affinity with food and with the way that different ingredients contrast with each other and blend well with one another at the same time.
If you want to make some good Mexican desserts you can pick pretty much any one because Mexican desserts are all full of flavor, perfectly balanced with delicious ingredients and you will want to make them regularly once you have discovered how great they are.
If you like making Mexican dessert recipes, you might already have tried a tasty Mexican flan recipe. In fact, flan is one of the most popular desserts in Mexico. However, what is the history of Mexican flan and just how did this fantastic flavor sensation originate?
Flan can actually be traced back to ancient Rome. Domesticated chickens were kept in ancient Roman times and the eggs were mixed with milk or cream to make a savory egg custard dish with ingredients such as eel. The idea of combining milk and eggs was originally Greek. The Romans also developed a sweet style of flan and used honey to flavor it.
These recipes had not been made before since domesticated fowl was unknown before this time but when eggs because an easily available ingredient, the Romans experimented with egg-based dishes.
Flan survived barbarian invasions and the sweet version of this dessert recipe survived between ancient society and medieval society. The modern word flan comes from the Latin "flado" which means flat cake. This changed to "flaon" in the ancient French language.
In Spain, flan lived on as a sweet custard with caramelized sugar. The Moors added almonds and citrus for flavoring. England developed its own version of flan with a pastry crust.
Christopher Columbus introduced many foods to South America and it was not long until flan became as popular there as it had been in Europe. Flan because popular throughout Central and South America.

Mexican cuisine tells the story of the heritage of Mexico. The ancestors of the Mayas are believed to have crossed the Bering land bridge from Asia over twenty thousand years ago during the last Ice Age. The ancient Mayan diet included beans and corn and these ingredients are still used in Mexican food recipes and Mexican dessert recipes. The next time you make cornbread, remember how ancient the recipe is.
The biggest meal is served at two or three o'clock in the afternoon in Mexico and people eat a light dinner in the evening. This means that Mexican dessert recipes are more popular served in the middle of the afternoon after their big meal than in the evening after their light snack.
The Mayans in Central Mexico were the first people known to harvest peanuts and use them in recipes. Today there are plenty of Mexican dessert recipes featuring peanuts as well as walnuts, almonds and more.
Papayas and pineapples grew wild in Mexico. The Spanish explorers introduced them to the rest of the world. Limes and limejuice are used extensively in savory Mexican recipes but interestingly enough they rarely make an appearance in Mexican dessert dishes.
The Mexican Indians discovered the vanilla bean, which comes from a type of orchid plant. More vanilla beans come from Mexico today than from any other country. Vanilla has been used for centuries in Mexico to flavor corn and cocoa based drinks and as a flavoring for Mexican dessert dishes.
Three American travelers started to export Zapote Blanco tree resin when they discovered in the 1860s that it hardened when exposed to air. The men added sweeteners and flavoring and sold it for a penny apiece. Not many people know that chewing gum was invented in Mexico!
Hernan Cortes and the Spanish conquistadores had breakfast in 1519 with the Aztec leader Montezuma. Cortes was given a bitter drink made from ground cacao beans, spices, and vanilla and chilled with snow from nearby mountaintops.
The Aztecs used cacao beans as currency because they were so prized. These beans were the origin of modern day chocolate and the Spanish added sugar to improve the taste. The English added milk and milk chocolate was born.
Chocolate has always been a favorite ingredient in lots of Mexican dessert recipes from chocolate cookies and chocolate cake to chocolate flan and hot chocolate drinks.
Some flavors associated with Mexican cuisine are not traditionally so. Flan, for example, is considered by many to be a Mexican dessert but it was invented by the ancient Romans.
Native American chefs in Peru and Ecuador started to add citrus to fish to make dishes such as ceviche in the late 1400s. Ceviche, although not a dessert, is believed to be a traditional Mexican recipe. It is interesting to note, however, how flavors from around the world have influenced Mexican cuisine.
Just as you can spot African, Spanish, French, Portuguese and more influences in many Mexican dessert recipes and savory food recipes, you can spot hints of Mexican influence in many other international cuisines, which makes it all the more exciting.

New study slams theory that meteorite struck ice-age Canada and killed off mammoths
A controversial theory that a massive meteorite struck Canada about 13,000 years ago — then wreaked havoc on global climate, Ice Age mega-mammals and early human occupants of North America — has taken yet another scientific hit, perhaps dooming the impact hypothesis to the same fate as the woolly mammoths whose extinction it purportedly helped explain.
At a time when the world is witnessing the startling effects of a fireball that slammed into Russia on Friday — the same day a giant asteroid was to make an unusually close pass to Earth — the new study by a 16-member team of researchers from the U.S., Britain and Belgium concludes that there's no reliable evidence of a catastrophic extraterrestrial impact in or around Ice Age Canada, despite several other high-profile studies in recent years suggesting a glacier-covered Hudson Bay was once slammed by a colossal space rock or streams of cometary debris.
In a monograph published by the American Geophysical Union, the research team argues that the odds of a four-kilometre-wide comet exploding across the Laurentide Ice Sheet that covered ancient Canada — one of the scenarios suggested by proponents of the impact theory — "are infinitesimal" given the lack of clear evidence, such as layers of so-called "shocked" rocks and minerals transformed by an Earth-shaking mega-blast.
"No impact craters of the appropriate size and age are known, and no unambiguously shocked material or other features diagnostic of impact have been found" to prove the theory, the authors insist. "The climatological, paleontological, and archeological events that the (proponents) are attempting to explain are not unique, are arguably misinterpreted" and "do not require an impact."
"There's no plausible mechanism to get airbursts over an entire continent," the study's lead author, Sandia National Laboratories physicist Mark Boslough, added in a summary of the research. "For this and other reasons, we conclude that the impact hypothesis is, unfortunately, bogus."
Similar studies casting doubt on the impact theory have been published in recent years. In 2010, a team of U.S. and British researchers led by U.S. physicist Tyrone Daulton — who's also a co-author of the new Boslough-led study — sparked a debate by declaring the impact theory invalid.
That study took particular aim at several supposed discoveries of "nanodiamonds" at sites around North America that had been hailed by advocates of the impact theory as proof that a cosmic blast sent showers of super-heated, shocked rock particles across the continent 13,000 years ago.
"The usefulness of cubic nanodiamonds as impact markers in sediments remains unclear because processes other than impact might account for them," the 2010 study stated.
But one of the scientists whose findings were challenged by the Daulton-led research – University of Oregon geologist Douglas Kennett – said at the time that critics were using "fundamentally flawed science" to undermine the impact hypothesis.
"The claim we misidentified diamonds is false, misleading and incorrect," Kennett told the science publication Nature at the time.
The controversy involves a thin rock layer seen around the world today that represents the boundary of the Younger Dryas – a well-documented, 1,000-year period Earth history that's characterized by a sudden plunge in global temperatures beginning about 13,000 years ago.
The Younger Dryas cold spell roughly coincides with the arrival of humans in North America and with the precipitous decline and eventual disappearance of populations of mammoths, mastodons, sabre-tooth tigers, Ice Age horses and other creatures that once roamed the continent.
Some scientists have attributed the Younger Dyras deep-freeze and the subsequent string of megafauna extinctions to climate change caused by a massive melt-water outburst into the Atlantic or Arctic oceans — somewhere near present-day Hudson Bay — as Ice Age glaciers retreated north.
And about seven years ago, studies began proposing the idea that a comet or asteroid might have struck a glacial ice dam near Hudson Bay, causing an initial catastrophe for North American ecosystems and then kick-starting long-term, global climate changes that wiped out the mammoths and their contemporaries.
In 2009, a Kennett-led team of researchers unearthed a layer of microscopic diamonds that they described as "smoking-gun" proof that a massive comet had triggered the Younger Dryas, killed off the mammoths and threatened the fragile foothold of North America's earliest human inhabitants, the Clovis people.
Kennett had previously published a study in the journal Science that identified traces of a different kind of microdiamond, along with other signs of a 13,000-year-old cosmic impact, at six sites in North America, including Lake Hind, Man., and Chobot, Alta.
But those studies and others suggesting an extraterrestrial trigger for the changes 13,000 years ago — including the apparent disappearance of the Clovis culture — have repeatedly come under attack from rival researchers.
"Just because a culture changed from Clovis to Folsom spear points didn't mean their civilization collapsed," Boslough stated in an overview of the newly published monograph. "They probably just used another technology. It's like saying the phonograph culture collapsed and was replaced by the iPod culture."

Little Rainbow Cake
Aaron made this sweet little cake for his preschool teacher's birthday. I wanted something that he could do on his own. He helped bake it (even cracked the eggs on his own!) and then got to work decorating it.
Just skittles and mini marshmallows. He was so very proud of his cake and his teacher was thrilled to receive it. She shared a little piece with each member of the class and even took a picture of the cake and is using it as her facebook profile picture :)
A fun, cheerful, and simple cake. I'll have to come up with some more little cakes like these for the kids to make this summer. He had so much fun.

Customer Data Quality on the Rise
Experian QAS survey finds fewer than 1 percent of businesses lack data quality initiatives.
Insurance Networking News, January 23, 2013
As businesses offer more multi-channel opportunities for customer interactions, they increasingly rely on data to communicate with customers and provide business intelligence. However, as much as 94 percent of businesses surveyed say that there is some level of inaccuracy in their systems, according to "Data Quality and the Customer Experience: Today's consumer and how contact data affects relationships," a white paper from Experian QAS.
According to the survey results, fewer than 1 percent of businesses lack a data quality strategy and data accuracy improved an average of 8 percentage points from last year. The most common types of errors are noted in the survey are incomplete or missing data, outdated information and duplicate data, and 92 percent of organizations said they have duplicate data within their system.
"The fast-paced, omni-channel environment often results in siloed touch-points and reduced resources," said Thomas Schutz, SVP, general manager of Experian QAS. "To ensure a positive customer experience, many businesses are implementing new strategies to better utilize consumer intelligence and analytics. To gain a high level of insight that can create a more personalized experience across channels, organizations need to improve accuracy and incorporate data quality into strategic planning."
Human error, cited by 65 percent of organizations, is the main cause of data problems, followed distantly by a lack of internal manual resources, an inadequate data strategy and insufficient budget; just 14 percent cited inadequate senior management support, which the authors said illustrates the importance of data quality for the C-suite.
The omni-channel environment, the report said, is changing how companies message to consumers, and to create meaningful interactions and customer experiences, companies need to make real-time, dynamic offers and therefore need demographic and behavioral details to better understand individual needs.
The report offers four steps to implementing real-time relevant customer messages:
1. Clean internal data – The key to real-time consumer intelligence is being able to marry lots of different information quickly to provide relevant offers
2. Clean incoming information – Ensuring the accuracy of data improves the accuracy of inbound information so organizations can get more from marketing efforts, and ensures more accurate matches from third-party data providers
3. Enhance searching capabilities – Enhance capabilities to allow for matching, even with minor errors, to aid in pulling and truly understanding internal data.
4. Plan – Marketers need a strategic plan for leveraging consumer intelligence and to articulate which data they need to achieve their goals.
Duplicate Data is now among the most common data quality issues, and 92 percent of participants admit having duplicate data as a result of human error, multiple points of entry, multiple databases and multiple business channels. The report offered several techniques to remove existing duplicate records within databases:
• Standardize contact data
• Define the level of matching they want to accomplish, as well as a tolerance level for duplicate records
• Software should then identify duplicates based on the defined criteria
• Reduce duplicates being created by implementing fuzzy-matching technology
There are several steps businesses can take to eliminate human error, the report said:
• Identify data entry points: Understand how information enters systems; consider all channels and data entry points to create full data workflow, then prioritize projects based on high-volume channels or excessive data quality errors.
• Train staff: A lot of information is manually entered; explain the importance of accurate data to employees and how information is used throughout the business.
• Automated verification processes: Software solutions can be implemented to help prevent inaccurate address and email contact details, for example. Determine what data is most important to the business, evaluate and prioritize solutions.
• Clean the information: Regular database maintenance and allows organizations to review information and make certain tools are effectively managing data to required levels of quality.
The most common problem according to those surveyed is sending mailings to the wrong address, followed by sending multiple mailings to the same customer, and staff inefficiencies; 32 percent said inaccurate contact data negatively influences customer perception and 29 percent said they had lost a customer due to inaccurate data input.

Installation Instructions
Product Reviews
- Overall Rating: 5.0 / 5.0
- 2 Reviews
i have a 96 gt i could not keep from spinning tires i bought this kit looks good and works only cons more road noise and not to easy to intall it about 4 hrs to in stall but it is a 5
I bought it for an economical purchase of a set of control arms for better traction. I will not be installing till the off season.
The parts seem to be a copy of a name brand. The weld quality is adequate but non-aesthetic (probably made in China). Paint (probably powder coat) did not adhere to all parts well. Most likely stemming from incorrect cleaning before painting.
Parts appear structurally sound however and I believe they will work. The kit comes with some mounting hardware.

Hackers Find Root Access to Android G1
Hackers of the XDA Forum found a simple hack to gain access to root privileges on the Android platform of G1 mobile phones.
The result is the potential of installing and using native Linux applications on the G1 and messing things up in the process.
Cause of the problem is a loophole in the Android PTerminal application. Using it to start a telnet daemon while in the system directory and then telneting from your PC into the phone's IP gives access to root, whereby all havoc can be raised.
The interesting thing is that the Android sandbox itself includes no Linux applications. Moreover, you develop applications using Dalvik VM, a virtual machine resembling Java VM that normal Java compilers don't know how to deal with.
Warning: Don't try this hack at home. Forum posters caution not to reproduce the hack unless you're absolutely sure about what you're doing. There's a risk of transforming the mobile phone into a useless brick or losing your work with the next Android update.
