Last week was a blast. I started my new job as an art director over at Milk. Very different from where I worked in the Netherlands before. First of all I don't have to remember 75 names of my colleagues, 15 will do for now and I can finally ride my bike to work again! If that wasn't enough I went for a nice 75 kilometer long ride last weekend as Sunday turned out to be dry ánd sunny. It was a bit cold and I got some comments on the fact that I was wearing shorts, but "they are just a bit cold the first 3 kilometers". This time I didn't forget my camera and took some nice pictures in Staatsforst Ville near Hackenbroich.

The Official 1978 Gent's Touring Specifications
Everyone who owns (or thinks he owns) a Koga Miyata bike from 1978 will have run into the fact that the specifications sheet for that year isn't online on the Koga website. All the other years are represented with a brochure showing all the different bikes and their spec sheets except 1978. For that year only the folder with the pictures of the bikes can be found.
Untill I received a comment from Mr. Dekker. He told me he was just starting to take his Gent's Touring (GT) from 1978 apart and asked me if I was interested in the spec sheet. Of course I was! He mailed me some scans that I put together in 1 PDF-document. It can be downloaded below (and also shows the Road Mixed and the Silver Ace):
1978 Koga Miyata Gent's Touring Specifications Sheet
I also asked him to mail me scans from the complete booklet so that it can be added to the Koga website, but I haven't heard from him since. Mr. Dekker in case you read this would you be so kind to mail me those scans? Thanks a lot!
1978 Koga Miyata Gents Luxe
Well, after the first one I redid another one soon made it's entrance and I am just talking about bicycles here. My father's old Gent's Touring is now all complete and in use. Last sunday I took it for a spin since it was such nice (and cold!) weather. The lighting was awesome and made for some very nice photo's. Just look at her al shining in the cold freezing sun shine!
The second bike that showed up was the old Gent's Luxe from my uncle. This used to be a more race specific bike. No lighting, no fenders, smaller cogs and such. Most interesting thing are the front chain rings and the brake levers. They are all drilled out to save some weight. I had to buy a new stem for it, because the one that came with it was just really ugly looking… So after a month of cleaning and polishing it all ended very nice and clean. Take a look!
This beauty is on eBay now, I'll only ship it in Germany, but it can be picked up at the end of the auction. Happy bidding :)

UPDATE JULY 13th, 2015: Because of the amount of Spam comments on this post, I closed the comments section. If you want to get in touch with me use social media or send me an email: post (a) pimrakers.nl
UPDATE SEPTEMBER 13th, 2011: I received scans from the original spec sheet from the Gent's Touring from a fellow rider and put them into a PDF on my site. As soon as I receive the other scans I may be able to upload specs for all the bikes from 1978.
Read more and download the 1978 Specification Sheet here.
In the last few days I have done a lot of research on this bike, but it isn't always that easy. I found out that the Koga-website offers all the brochures in PDF (from 1976). Most of them also have a list of parts for every bike mentioned in the brochure. Except the one from 1978. With my Gents Touring in it. So, I just have to cross check the parts used in the '77 and '79 model and compare them with what is installed on my bike. Continue reading 1978 Koga Miyata Gents Touring
Time for a personal update. Last weekend my parents came over. Dad hadn't seen my appartement as it looks now with all the furniture and after a few months of living in it. My girlfriend and I have a preference for old 50's furniture so we got our hands on a nice Strinning wall shelf and some nice Danish design-ish couch with chairs. This taste for old things is something we share and the fact that my dad had is original 1978 Koga-Miyata Gent's Touring standing in the garage for the last 25 years was itching. Being interested in technical stuff, bike, bycicles and cars I mentioned it a few months ago already. That the bike should be better off in my house. Warm, dry and getting some exercise… Nothing happened, but that was everything I expected. Not a word since then and this weekend my dad handed me an old envelope. On the outside the adress and name of an old bikeshop in Hengelo was printed (lead type, you can feel it!). Inside was the original bill for this vintage touring bike. He really brought it with him as a present!
I will make a more detailed post about the bike, it's parts and the state of it all later on. For now I am just too excited about it! I want to make it shiny and polish the hell out of it. After that it will be taken for a spin once in a while, preferably with sunny and dry weather.

My contact phones me the day of, and says he can come by with the car, and then we'll head off to some sort of special spot for dynamics testing and technical conversation. Nice deal, say I.
My guy Ernesto pulls up outside of the house and – lo and behold – it's a dang Mazda6 station wagon with the very most recent 2.2-liter SkyActiv-D motor good for 148 horsepower and healthy 280 pound-feet of torque. The wee four-banger with 14.0:1 compression ratio hauls this 3,260-pound wagon around with the best of them. A decent 0-to-60-mph time of 8.7 seconds, too.
Best touch? This one had the standard six-speed manual gearbox. We at Autoblog know how we bend a few noses the wrong way with our open cravings for exactly this sort of un-American car setup. But, oh my, did we have a good day together.
Driving Notes
- First off, the Mazda6 sedan we just tested is a fine-looking conveyance. But if you like wagons like I do, this 2013 Mazda6 wagon is even finer. To my eyes, it doesn't overdo it like some Infiniti models or the Nissan Juke, and any references to the swoopy Fisker Karma soon fade away. Mazda's "Kodo" ("Soul of Motion") design approach just works.
- I was so geeked that this was a wagon. And the six-speed manual mated with the SkyActiv-D engine just took it over the top. Before hopping in, I noticed the optional set of really nice 19-inch wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Turanza T001 treads, the latest vintage of this fine rubber.
- Ernesto tells me that I am the very first in all of Italy to drive this engine trim outside of the company testers. "What about the Italian journos?," I ask. He smiles and shrugs, meaning, "Too bad for them, I guess."
- This revvy and strong 2.2-liter turbodiesel is not the 173-hp tune that arrives in the U.S. later this year in the sedan, but it would do just fine on American roads. If the hp bump seems modest on the trim we'll get, well, the torque bump is also a mild 30 lb-ft. Acceleration to 60 mph will be only a half-second quicker and fuel use will increase, though it will still be good at about 30 miles per gallon city and 40 mpg highway.
- We pulled up outside of a go-kart track I know out in the middle of the northern Italian flatlands. Ernesto tells me this is the place. Seriously? Yes, seriously. Ever whipped a front-wheel-drive family wagon with manual shifter and small diesel engine around a karting circuit? Me either.
- The terrific Turanza tires were smoking freely under the cranking enthusiasm of the 2.2-liter four. All of the torque was there at 1,800 revs and the action of the manual shifter proved smooth and precise. It was easy to heel-and-toe at all times – this, on an extremely tight kart track, not an open road with time to think built in.
- The wagon handled my induced-oversteer moves well, with superb steering and exceptional weight transfers. (It's like this on almost any hopped-up wagon I've driven even a little like this. For instance, I prefer the Mini Cooper S JCW Clubman on a hot circuit versus the hatchback for this very reason).
- All traction nannies were off and Ernesto and I were having a little more fun than I think his bosses had in mind. I started in with the Scandinavian handbraking, a technique that invariably enters the equation on such tracks, and we were giggling like school girls in short order.
- The Mazda6's rear suspension setup's lateral arms do not, as many do, err forward and higher than the wheel hub. Instead they attach low, below the wheel center. This results in an extremely sporting attitude over twisty roads as the arms push at the rear wheel down lower and closer to the center line. This was most noticeable on track.

Or that game with funny shaped blocks that you have to fit together? Ever thought about who's dropping them and why? Well, in Ninja Puzzler, the pirates are dropping cannonballs on you! Cannonballs are much more scarier.

Slippin out Amerikkka Lyrics
Artist: Esham
Album: Tongues
I'm slippin' out America, mass hysteria
Caught with possession and intent to write and deliver murder
Get blessed off every word I spit
From the underground streets of Detroit, this is as grimy as it gets
If the slugs fit, wear it.If ya got riches share it
Whatchu cant take witcha let ya seeds inherit
But this roscoe, I'ma flare it
And snatch up the freedom with my masked mandinos, Mujahid
[Mujahid in Muslim]
[Translation of Chorus]
All praises due to Allah, Lord of the Worlds
Most compassionate, most merciful master of
The Day of Judgment. Thy do we worship in thine
Aide do we seek. Show us the straight path, the path
Of those whom you have shown your mercy and
Not those who incure your wrath or those who go astray
I'm slippin' out America 'cuz there's too many jails
Pretending to be friends while they be sellin' you sins
[Mujahid speaking muslim]
And they be tryin' to take like every breath
While I sit back and peep the spectacles of death
[Mujahid speaking muslim]
All praises to the prophet and the knots in my pocket
America been tryin' to kill all our babies for dollars
But many moons have passed and we gonna holla at that ass
From the future to the past, from the future to the past
I seen it all from Pharaoh to Nimrod
These niggaz tryin' to play us like they God
I peep the whole scenery, the same greenery
But really though, what does it mean to me?

ONLINE RELEASE DATE: November 11, 2016, Vienna/AUT
Born in 1986 and based in Vienna, Gianna is an european singer and musician with african roots. She has over 15 years of experience in intimate home studios as well as in top notch studios. Her first single "Heart" was released in May 2015 as a collaboration with Caesar Caesar Rec. (NY). The good artistic connection led to further recordings in NY and what was supposed to be a EP of 4 songs became "ONE"- a maxi-EP of 7 songs with her distinctive, unique, soul-pop flavour.
"ONE" is her biggest and most authentic compilation of songs to be released so far. All lyrics and vocal arrangements are written by her as she was involved in every step of the process from production, mixing and mastering to the artwork. Besides that she scripted, composed, produced and cut the music video to SMILE, one of the main songs on the EP.
She toured big stages internationally performing with different bands and has established her self as a studio singer and speaker for TV/Radio jingles, advertisement and featured on several releases. That broad scope shaped her development as an artist and in 2015 she started putting the pieces together as "Gianna".
"The Intension to speak pure, while still learning. To serve as an artist while developing and to share that experience."
Commercial music nowadays is often promoting a rather careless "yolo" lifestyle that seems to be emotionally detached, to distract yourself, to easily replace others, to do what you want because it seems not to matter anyhow. Materialism, oversexualisation. Neurotizism.
Giannas message is very contrary to that. She believes that it does matter, that what you feel is what you grow from. That our lifestyle has direct impact. Everyone creates reality. That caring and loving are most important for all of us to survive and that we all share the same blood but are just struggling with illusions. That exactly this life is the moment where you can plant good seeds, purify and evolve.
In the meantime Gianna is busy producing her first album where she will show much more of her colors. She is not sticking to any genre and is expressing herself very intuitively. The debut album is expected end of 2017.
If you would like personal assisted information, please send an email to email@example.com yours, Gianna

Only two weeks late? That is pretty good - I am still waiting for one that should have happened nearly a month ago
turninganewleaf wrote:I am new to FICO's score watch and received my first credit alerts over the weekend. The alerts stated that two of my balances have increased. The information was correct , however, it is reporting about 2 weeks late.For example, one credit alert is for a CC balance I had ($133.00), but I paid that off on Aug 4th, current balance is now $34.83, but it's reporting the $133.00 balance. Exact same for another CC balance...Make sense? Is FICO always going to be a month's reporting behind the current, actual balance?

Was only compatible with Canon G-series cameras, but for any photographer $300-800 usd would be a lot of fun

I'm glad someone else is familiar with this "technology". It's nothing new and I've known of Gigapan since they started selling the machines. Like I said in an earlier post in this thread, it boggles my mind as to what most people think took these photos.
The OP really should update the thread with your input as to not cause any more "big brother" histeria relating to panorama photography. Also, this technology IS in space. The Hubble does the same thing by taking a bunch of pictures and then stitching them together. Other satellites can't do this because it requires staying still, otherwise the composition would be all eff'd up and full of "anomalies" for you to pick at.edit on 20-5-2011 by grrrrt because: (no reason given)

Create beautiful homemade wedding favors with creative paper and homegrown fragrant rose petals. Make your own wedding rose petal cone favors.
Petal cone favors are a truly wonderful idea and so easy to make yourself. Your guests will be delighted when receiving your handmade wedding favors filled with a fluttering of rose petals. Of course your cones can be filled with lavender, candy or sugar almonds if preferred.
If your wedding is during the summer months, then grow your own roses. If using fresh petals, make the cones and place the petals in the cones just before use.
Alternatively you can buy freeze dried rose petals on the internet or from reputable florists.
To make your own petal favor cones you will need:
decorative paper (8 1/2" x 11")
Double-sided tape
Clear rubber stamp of your choice
Gold stamping ink
Your chosen cone filling
If desired print an image on the paper using your clear stamp and gold ink. Leave to dry.
Alternatively you can leave the cone blank and use translucent vellum or flower pressed paper for a truly stunning effect.
Place a strip of double sided tape down one side and then roll the paper to form a cone. Press the side lightly to seal the tape.
Fill the cone with your choice of rose petals, lavender or candy.
Fold the top flaps over or leave open.
Place all the finished cones in a basket ready to hand out to your guests.
It is very easy to remove the petals from the rose head. Cut the rose head from the stem. Hold the rose carefully in your left hand and then cup the head with your right hand and carefully pull at the petals to remove them. You will find that all the petals will come off together without any damage to the petals.

Pope John Paul II Quotes About FailingQuotes about: Failing
Real love is demanding. I would fail in my mission if I did not clearly tell you so. For it was Jesus - our Jesus himself - who said: 'You are my friends if you do what I command you'. Love demands effort and a personal commitment to the will of God. It means discipline and sacrifice, but it also means joy and human fulfilment.
As believers, how can we fail to see that abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide are a terrible rejection of God's gift of life and love? And as believers, how can we fail to feel the duty to surround the sick and those in distress with the warmth of our affection and the support that will help them always to embrace life?
I cannot fail to note once again that the poor constitute the modern challenge, especially for the well-off of our planet, where millions of people live in inhuman conditions and many are literally dying of hunger. It is not possible to announce God the Father to these brothers and sisters without taking on the responsibility of building a more just society in the name of Christ.
Like so many pilgrims before us, we kneel in wonder and adoration before the ineffable mystery which. was accomplished here... In This Child - the Son who is given to us - we find rest for our souls and the true bread that never fails - the Eucharistic Bread foreshadowed even in the name of this town: Bethlehem, the house of bread. God lies hidden in the Child; divinity lies hidden in the Bread of Life

7 Hyperlocal Marketing Tools and Tactics for 2013
Image Credit: MarketingTango
1. Use Google Zeitgeist to do trendspotting.
Start by downloading the complete list for the US and focus the top relevant searches on your geography using Google Trends. Top searches using Google Map include Target, Walmart and Starbucks. Find unique ways to incorporate these top search destinations near you into your marketing plans.
2. Reference Yelp Top Searches to explore what local consumers are trying to discover in your area.
Plug in your geography and find out what businesses are garnering top rankings. This is particularly interesting for non-restaurant queries (e.g. cleaners, hair salons, coffee, yoga, sewing classes, Redbox locations)
3. Regularly update your blog and website with relevant local content.
Determine what content is relevant to your local areas using insights from the tools above. Social media should be used to amplify the content that you are already producing. Remember that presence in Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google + is not a substitute for a website and/or blog that you control.
4. Create a consortium of local businesses that is the equivalent of your own chamber of commerce.
Meetup and Twitter are good platforms to do recruitment of potential members. Use your website or blog to feature local businesses and customers so that you become a hub for local activity. Nellie Akalp of Corp has a good post on Mashable that goes into more detail regarding local business partnership strategies.
5. Leverage co-op marketing programs if you source products from national brands looking for local presence.
The Local Search Association (LSA) and the Interactive Advertising Bureau suggest that co-op budgets were being under-spent by $450 million dollars due to lack of participation. The LSA lists manufacturers/vendors that have funds set aside for co-op marketing. Subscription access to this database ranges from $189 to $245 per year.
6. Do a free local event each quarter.
Offering services pro bono will raise your visibility and enable local news outlets to list your event without charging you for advertising. Career counseling and fitness demonstrations are great things to offer during Q1 given the increase in motivation to start new businesses or new fitness programs.
7. Start a loyalty program and listen to your customers
One of the big advantages that big box stores and national retailers have is access to customer analytics. This has created a new wave of loyalty programs powered by "big data." To outflank your larger, well-financed competitors, you can pair discount programs with local knowledge. Motor Works, my independent car repair shop, does a great job of this. In addition to the "Gregbucks" program to drive referrals and repeat customer visits through discounts, they executed a brilliant promotion offering free grocery bags to existing clients. Montgomery County, MD recently began charging a plastic bag tax for grocery purchases. To help its customers manage the change, Motor Works offered a free grocery bag with its logo emblazoned on the bag. This was truly a win-win proposition. Motor Works clients didn't need to purchase reusable grocery bags and Motor Works was able to drive additional marketing opportunities as clients took collateral (grocery bag) to the grocery store to drive word of mouth.
Creating A Picture of Your Marketplace – Target Behavior
Image Credit: Black Friday at Target
A couple of weeks ago, I made a last minute Thanksgiving run to pick up a few things at our local Target. After I picked up some forks and other odds and ends, I noticed something odd – the Seventh Generation toilet paper was out of stock. It was not a sale item and it was not terribly cheap. I went to an adjacent aisle and noticed that containers for taking lunch to school or work were also out of stock. Then, the lightbulb went on with this epiphany:
You can learn more about local retail consumers by observing what's out of stock rather than what's in stock
This of course assumes good inventory management and this Target happens to be well run as evidenced by personal experience and good Yelp ratings. I started to feel like an anthropologist (or more precisely an ethnographer) studying the habits of the "Target consumer" and wondered if the Target consumer was the target audience for the health and fitness business that I'm assisting. I also wondered if people who were watching me go through the aisles thought I was nuts when I looked at empty shelves with delight.
In the previous post on demographic research, I laid out a few key stats for 20904 zipcode residents . Below are more additional pieces of information that I've uncovered to fill out a more complete 20904 demographic profile.
This chart tell us that residents in 20904 spend more time commuting to work than most other people in MD and across the country. Data from other sources like city-data.com indicates that 70% of commuters drive in the car alone and most do not live where they work. We also know that there are few retail shopping locations in this zipcode compared to other suburbs like Bethesda or Rockville. This suggests that this Target is the store of choice for many shoppers in the 20904 zipcode. To summarize, here is what we know about 20904 residents so far:
- More affluent on average that most Marylanders
- More likely to be women 25-44
- Have longer work commute times than most Marylanders
- Shop outside of the zipcode given limited retail presence
Another important signal to the target consumer in this area is that Starbucks placed 2 locations in the same shopping center (one co-located in Target and one company-owned store) to serve the entire zipcode. Coincidental — I think not!
Alright, back to my Target ethnography project. Here is the list I compiled of out-of-stock (or nearly out of stock) food and household items. Note: The majority of these items were not on sale or commonly used for Thanksgiving Day preparation.
- Plastic Entree Containers (small sandwich sizes, small leftovers)
- Sandwich Bags
- Seventh Generation Toilet Paper
- Natures Own's Bread
- Kashi Go Lean Honey Almond Crunch
- Gallon Containers of Organic Milk
- 1/2 Gallons of Organic Chocolate Milk
- Kids Cuisine Frozen Dinners
- Healthy Frozen Dinners (Kashi, Smart Ones, Lean Cuising, Healthy Choice)
- Organic Tazo Tea (green, peach)- 4 Pack
- Motts for Tots Apple Juice
- Pretzel Chips
- Kettle Chips
- Smart Water
- Annie's Pnutty Granola Bars
- Skittles Blenders
- Tootsie Roll Midgees
- Perrier
Based on the above list and the demographic profile, here is how I would describe the 20904 Target Dept Store shopper:
1) Moms who are time-crunched and are concerned about making healthy, quick meals for their families.
2) They spend lots of time in the car driving to work and driving their kids from point A to point B so snacks are essential
3) 20904 moms likely have the disposable income to make good food choices yet are budget-conscious and concerned about value.
The next step in the process of understanding our marketplace is to translate our demographic profile into a persona so that we can more effectively market products and services to the 20904 marketplace.
Creating A Picture of Your Local Marketplace – Demographics

To effectively grow your business footprint, you have to understand the context of the market in which you operate. One of the small businesses that I am working with is looking to expand its presence in the Colesville, Maryland area. In order to be most effective in its outreach methods, I suggested doing an assessment of the local area demographics and trends in zipcode 20904. Several tools are available to find basic demographic data such as average income, race, gender.etc. I would recommend using sites like city-data.com and neighborhoodlink.com to compile basic stats. Here is what we found:
Source: City-Data.com
The small business we are working with is a fitness business targeting women 18-49. The Colesville population fits the target quite well
- Median age (Women): 36
- Median HH income: $90k per household ($20k more than the statewide Maryland average)
- Ethnic Makeup: Highly diverse (majority non-white)
Demographics are good starting point to creating a picture of your market but this is only the beginning. To create a more complete picture of your marketplace, you need to understand the behavior and activities of your customer. We will take a look at this in the next post.
The Return of Hyperlocal
How do you reach a 1 mile radius of customers? Nothing has bedeviled marketers and small business owners more than this. You could plaster flyers on telephone poles, put up real estate style signs on the corner or accost the public with handbills. I'm here to tell you that these strategies are time consuming, require a lot of energy and rarely work. It's sort of like screaming out of car windows in traffic to find your soulmate.
In a piece from Businessweek, pundits savaged the business prospects of AOL's Patch – a potential source of customer aggregation for small business marketers. I tend to agree that the strategy is wrong – you can't templatize local news and community creation. Having said that, I believe the ideal models combine technology and offline methods to supercharge word of mouth creation. You need the impact of a street team combined with the scale of mobile platforms.
Over the coming months, we are going to delve into case studies, theories and experiments around what works and what doesn't. Given that I work with small businesses including my own, Fitwell Training Solutions, I'll share real-life cases to add practicum to the theory. I hope you're looking forward to diving into the future of our country – the businesses that surround you within a 1 mile radius.

If you are looking to explore some of the ancient cities in India that have rich culture and tradition and a lot of interesting monuments and temples to visit, then you must take a trip to Badami.
Badami is one of the oldest cities in Karnataka and was known to be the ancient capital of the early Chalukyas. The Chalukyas ruled the states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh between the 6th and the 8th century. This city is famous for its amazing structures and rock cut temples which were carved by hand during that time period. The city was part of the major power fight between the Pallavas, Chalukyas and the Rashtrakutas for a long time. It was later ruled by the Vijaynagar Empire and a few others including Hyder Ali before it was finally declared as a state.

Karnataka is known to have harsh summers and the temperatures can soar as high as 40 degrees C which makes it very tough to enjoy sightseeing or any outdoor activities. It is best to avoid visiting Badami during this time. Summer in Badami is during Aril and May. The monsoon here is heavy and this can hamper your travel plan which is why it's not a great idea to come here during the monsoon either. Winters are the best time to visit Badami. This is during the months of October to March where the temperatures are between 10 degrees to 32 degrees and the climate is pleasant.

The Scoop on Ben & Jerry's Sellout
The official announcement this morning that the conglomerate Unilever would be purchasing Ben & Jerry's outright for $43.60 a share touted many of the things you would expect the famously responsible ice cream company to tout: Employees would keep their jobs, the firm's "social mission" would remain intact, and so on. But the factor that is presumably most important was listed first: "With this transaction, shareholders will be rewarded."
It's easy to imagine that, if we could transport this deal back in time 10 years, it would have been frankly labeled a sellout, in the most pejorative sense of the term. Just a few days ago becoming a part of Unilever seemed like a distasteful option, as company co-founder Ben Cohen attempted to cobble together a counter-deal involving "socially responsible" investors. So, there was a glimmer of a battle for some abstract higher principle, but it faded quickly.
What's interesting is not only that pretty much no one is going to accuse Ben & Jerry's of selling out, but why that is so. What has changed in the last 10 years to make such an accusation so unlikely to stick? The critical change is the evolution of the idea of "shareholder rights" as something that now has an almost populist connotation. After all, a huge percentage of the kinds of people who care about "social responsibility" now own stocks. And while "social responsibility" is kind of a murky term, "shareholder rights" not only sounds virtuous, but is very easy to understand: You, the shareholder, have a right to see your shares go up.
If you're a fan of Ben & Jerry's ice cream--which is a perfectly reasonable position--you might assume on the old buy-what-you-know theory that its stock has been a great thing to own. After all, "super premium" ice cream seems like an ideal category in which to have been an innovator during these boom times. But that was not the case, and as recently as December the company's stock was languishing below $20 a share before the rumors of a potential sale surfaced.
The Motley Fool, styled as the commonsense voice of the common shareholder, recently complained that Ben & Jerry's has "underperformed the market's historical average during the greatest bull run in the stock market history. That's unacceptable any way you slice it." As for the company's famous program of donating 7.5 percent of pretax profits to charity, that may be "commendable," but "the program lost its luster when the company failed to deliver reasonable results to its long-term investors." A Prudential research note on the deal cited by TheStreet.com sounds a note of disgust, as well, taking the populist tack of complaining that Perry Oak, the Ben & Jerry's chief executive since 1997, holds options that will be worth about $13 million at Unilever's takeover price--"which is incredible considering that [Ben & Jerry's] lost all sorts of share under his tenure." Still, the analyst concedes the silver lining: "For shareholders, this is more than a fair price." Power to the people, right on.
Anyway, given the rather steep premium that Unilever seems to have paid, it will be interesting to see how the relationship pans out--whether Ben & Jerry's remains an independent unit, whether it will continue to give profits away, whether Ben and Jerry remain involved. The official word is that all of this is part of the deal, but of course it is trickier to pull these things off over time, particularly if shareholders' rights are trampled in the bargain.
Just to make sure I wasn't missing any outrage over the Unilever announcement--after all, Ben & Jerry's scoop shops encouraged anti-conglomerate independence rallies in January--I checked out www.savebenandjerrys.com. The site doesn't seem to have been updated lately, but there is an interesting note there about an apparently failed plan to encourage ice cream fans to "save this wonderful organization" by buying up enough shares to keep the company out of evil corporate hands. The site notes that even if you bought shares and this popular revolt failed, well, at least you'd pocket the takeover premium. As the site puts it, citizen shareholder: "This is a win-win situation for you."

Enjoy your stay on the shores of beautiful Lake Michigan. We hope you will come back again soon.
This location in Southwest Michigan has so much to offer. The sunsets are the biggest draw for me. The small towns, orchards and wineries lead us on beautiful drives through scenic rolling hills. I love harvest time the best!
Specialty restaurants, local festivals and events provide all kinds of diversions. From here you can easily drive to Chicago, Ann Arbor, Detroit and so many other exciting cities. My favorites are the small towns you never heard of that each have something unique to offer. If you live a drivable distance to Southwest Michigan you will be amazed at how "on vacation" you will feel without traveling far from home.
If you have never been to the Great Lakes you really must come here. The Great Lakes are a national treasure accounting for over 1/5 of the WORLDS fresh water supply. If you have ever been to a small lake or an ocean and wished you could combine the best things about both...welcome to the answer to your dreams! When you look out over our beach you will think you are on an ocean. But feel the sand and the clean fresh water on your skin and you will know the joy of the Great Lakes. It is staggering to imagine that you could sit on a length of clean private fresh water beach, the envy of hundreds of beach-goes who fight for a space for their towel, and see only your children splashing in the water.
We are extremely lucky to have found this spot in the Midwest that is in so special in so many ways. There are a lot of fabulous places in the USA and the world, but often it is difficult just to get there. Then on top of it you are surrounded by hoards of other travelers and inconveniences. Spend a week at the beach with all the comforts of home and you will really feel the benefits of a vacation.

Rachel Platten Teams Up With Kurt Hugo Schneider For 'Better Place'

Elegant Touch Christmas Jumper Nails
I don't know about you, but I've had a plethora of festive knitwear ready and waiting in my wardrobe since about September. However, if you don't quite fancy getting your knit on then these nails from Elegant Touch could be just what Santa ordered. Available in a red and black 'Christmas Reindeer' design, or a bright pink 'Christmas Snowflake' alternative, the nails are super cute and exceptionally detailed - they're just like mini jumpers! I saw these back in the summer at a press event for New Look, so I'm so glad they're finally available to buy. Although I'm not a massive user of false nails, these would be perfect on Christmas Eve when you join all your mates in the pub for a festive eggnog. Elegant Touch do make one of the best sets of false nails, especially thanks to the UV gel technology their designs feature to keep them looking perfect for longer. They're easy to use and simple to remove, plus they can be re-worn if you're extra careful; the only downside is a high proportion of the 24 nails in the pack need to be re-sized as they're pretty big. However, not only are these a must-have for December, they'd make an amazing Secret Santa gift for that hard-to-buy-for woman in the office. Who doesn't like jumping reindeer?
The sets are available via New Look, River Island, Boots and various online stores too.

Hoyas repel Bearcats, finally win at Cincinnati
CINCINNATI -- The Georgetown Hoyas squandered a 12-point second-half lead in fewer than nine minutes on Friday night. When Cincinnati's Jaquon Parker hit a 3-pointer with 6:53 left, the Hoyas trailed by one point before 12,842 fans at raucous Fifth Third Arena. But from that point on, the Hoyas held the Bearcats to just one field goal, and hung on to their share of first place in the Big East Conference.

Amber Rose Promised Juicy Role On 'KUWTK' By Kim Kardashian As Price For Making Peace
Kim Kardashian had plenty of reasons to want to make nice with Amber Rose, but now we finally have an answer as to why Amber would go along with it. A source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY a role on 'KUWTK' is all it took! Here's the scoop.
Amber Rose, 32, definitely didn't make nice with Kim Kardashian, 35, out of the kindness of her heart. For Kanye West's sake, Kim had to give Amber an appearance in Keeping Up With The Kardashians in order to let bygones be bygones, a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Here's what we know.
Kim had several reasons to make nice with Amber, her hubby's ex-girlfriend. First of all, she wants to protect Kanye's secrets, one of which may have been revealed during the exes Twitter fight. But why would Amber care about making friends with Kim? "When Kim first talked to Amber she explained how she could make it worth her while to make up with her," a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "Amber will profit off it in more ways than one."
So what two things could motivate Amber enough to make amends with her sworn enemy? The same thing that motivates most people in Hollywood: fame and money, something the Kardashian Klan has on lock. "Kim promised to shoot a scene for the show with her and get her paid well for it and she's told her she will help her out with connections for her reality show," the source explains EXCLUSIVELY to HollywoodLife.com.
Just because Kim is the star of Keeping Up With The Kardashians doesn't mean it was easy to get Amber involved. "Kim bent over backwards but it's not because she likes this woman, she still despises her, but she doesn't want her as an enemy," the source continued EXCLUSIVELY to HollywoodLife.com. Smart move, Kimmy. We can't wait till THAT episode airs.

The first time I snorkeled in Hawaii, I felt like I was dreaming. When I put my head in the water, the sounds of the real world disappeared and my breathing provided the soundtrack to views of amazing underwater apparitions. Happily, it's easy for just about any visitor to enjoy a similar experience under the surface of the sea, because great snorkeling in Hawaii is readily accessible.
Exploring Hawaii on land and in the air may provide visitors with outstanding views, but a subaqueous adventure leads them to unparalleled scenery. Hawaii's best snorkeling spots are chock-full of maritime delights, from vibrant tropical fish and green sea turtles to playful dolphins and dramatic coral reefs.
Following are my 10 favorite snorkeling spots on Hawaii's four major islands. Each one is easy to locate, provides ideal conditions and rewards snorkelers with memorable undersea vistas.
Hanauma BayOf all the snorkeling destinations on my list, this is the most famous. A nature preserve on Oahu's southeastern shore, it features mellow, shallow waters that are so clear you can spot sea creatures before you even put your head in the water. The fish are incredibly tame - a delight for first-timers who prefer to stay close to shore - while more experienced snorkelers can swim to the outer reef areas. The city closes Hanauma Bay one day each week and limits the number of visitors on the remaining days in order to protect it from the thousands of people who want to experience its riches.
Sharks CoveScuba Diving magazine called this small, northern cove one of the world's top 12 shore dives. Part of Pupukea Beach Park, it attracts snorkelers and scuba buffs with its smooth underwater stones, fantastic coral, charming caves and lively marine creatures such as parrot fish, goat fish, butterfly fish, tang, damsel fish, wrasse and jack crevalle as well as turtles and eels. Two important notes: Unlike the sandy bottom at Hanauma Bay, the entrance to Sharks Cove is rocky and therefore not good for youngsters. In addition, you should enter these waters only in the calm summer months, since winter brings large swells that make swimming here dangerous.
Ahihi Kinau Natural Area ReserveLooking for a humuhumunukunukuapuaa (triggerfish)? You're likely to find one at this south Maui marine life conservation district, where lava rocks and coral attract quite a menagerie of fish. Almost as soon as you enter the water, your view is chock-full of finned wonders from moorish idols to butterfly fish. It's best to snorkel here in the morning when the waters are clearest, before the tradewinds ruffle things up. Ahihi Kinau is easy to wade into courtesy of a small cove near the road, although its calm waters allow entry from the rocks as well. To the north of the cove is your best bet for spotting the turtles who call this area home.
Honolua BayAnother marine life conservation district, this one is located on the northwestern side of Maui. Since it's protected by steep cliffs, the waters are generally calm here. If you access the ocean from the beach, swim to the right, because most of the sea life congregates around the coral on the north side of the bay. You'll find yourself face-to-face with all types of fish, from damsel and surgeon to butterfly and parrot. When it's time for a break from snorkeling, you can watch the surfers who hang ten on the well-loved Honolua surf break, just beyond the bay.
Maluaka BeachMost folks know this as Turtle Town because of the many flippered critters gliding around its waters. Located to the south of the island near the Makena Beach and Golf Resort, Maluaka boasts clear, mellow conditions hugged by a white-sand beach. Most of its inhabitants - including the aforementioned green sea turtles - hang out near the rocks and coral on the left (south) side of the beach. This is one of my favorite snorkel spots because it's easy to swim in and see the underwater spectacle, and it's a little less populated than some of the other beaches and bays on my list.
Anini BeachHome to Hawaii's largest, widest reef, Anini provides fabulous snorkeling opportunities on Kauai's north shore. It's embraced by a beautiful three-mile-long beach and green, postcard-perfect cliffs. The ultra-blue, shallow water is easy to wade into thanks to a sandy bottom near the shore although, as at any beach, watch out for coral underfoot. Residing here are some of my favorite fish: uhu (parrot fish), kala (unicorn fish), damselfish and the inimitable humuhumunukunukuapuaa. Occasionally this area experiences rip currents, in which case be sure to stay on shore and enjoy the views.
Makua BeachYou might find yourself humming "Bali Hai" as you snorkel in this north shore dreamworld, whose incredible natural beauty was showcased in the 1958 movie musical South Pacific. Locals call this area Tunnels because of its fabulous underwater caverns and lava formations. Thanks to a shallow inner reef, it's a cinch to snorkel close to shore, while experienced divers can head to the outer reefs for more adventurous explorations. The adjacent beach stretches for about two miles with shade trees providing a break from the glorious tropical sunshine.
Hawaii Island
Honaunau BayThis hallowed area is presided over by Puuhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park, a sanctuary for law breakers in ancient Hawaii. Large, smooth, flat lava rocks lead right into the water, creating the perfect entry for snorkelers. Since the water is relatively shallow, the coral in its depths is abundant and attractive to scads of hungry fish. Better yet, the deeper waters of Honaunau are a favorite hang-out for Hawaiian spinner dolphins, and it's a treat to see them swim and frolic nearby. Snorkel here in the morning if possible, since afternoons tend to cloud over in this region of Hawaii Island.
Kaunaoa BayWith the luxurious Mauna Kea Beach Hotel at its side, this white strand of sand on the Kohala Coast is as perfect as beaches get. While it's easy to enter the water anywhere in the crescent, snorkelers get the best underwater views by the rocky ridges and coral on the right (north) side, below the hotel. I see turtles almost every time I swim here, not to mention parrot fish and tang. In the evening, the hotel shines a light on the water, attracting manta rays who feed on plankton. There's nothing quite as magical as standing under the stars and watching them glide through the sea.
Kealakekua BayDue to its remote location, this Kona Coast gem is best experienced with a commercial boat tour which can take you directly to the best snorkeling sites in the bay. Home of the Captain Cook Monument, which commemorates the death of British Capt. James Cook in 1779, Kealakekua is an exceptional underwater marine sanctuary teeming with vibrant reefs, rainbows of fish and friendly dolphins and sea turtles. A 100-foot-high lava cliff protects the bay and keeps conditions calm, and clear waters allow snorkelers to see amazing landscapes as deep as 100 feet below the surface.

The Iron Ring
Imperata cylindrica, iron, artifacts from the evolution steps, HD Video, glass, wood
While "green mining" aims for a more ecological approach to mining metals, The Iron Ring explores how contaminated mining grounds may benefit from the mining of metals. For The Iron Ring, 24kg of
iron-tainted grass was removed from contaminated mining grounds and transformed into a ring of 2g metallic iron.
Iron is considered very important to life in general and has a lower toxicity than other metals. Extensive or abandoned metal mines and industrial activities have, however, caused metal releases into the ecosystem to accelerate and reach toxic levels. So-called iron hyperaccumulating plants are tolerant to inorganic iron and can grow on these degraded grounds. There they extract the metal from the soil to store it in very high concentrations inside their roots, stems and leaves. The means of "cleaning" the polluted soil however, is a periodical commitment that relies on human interaction: harvest. The plants' metal enriched biomass (in other words, their contaminated biological materials) needs to be removed from the ground before the plants by season wilt and the extracted metal reverts back to the soil. So that after the harvest is removed, new sprouts can grow to continue the decontamination process. The project elaborates on the possibilities to utilize the cleansing process of the naturalized, wild growing grass: Imperata cylindrica. An invasive vile weed, which overlooked tolerance and ability to hyper accumulate iron inside its roots, stems and leaves are left unutilized. The Iron Ring proposes to harvest the grass for the purpose of extracting the ore that is inside them. The result is a scenario for iron mining that, instead of furthering destruction, could actually contribute to the environmental rehabilitation of abandoned metal mines. The Iron Ring installation takes a visitor through the project's trials and failures, in a process of close collaboration with smiths, scientists, technicians and farmers met along the way. The installation consists of artefacts and video documentation that reports on the seven chronological steps that were required to create an iron ring out of 24kg of grass harvested from the acidic river banks of a landscape in Spain severely transformed by opencast mining.
The Iron Ring was made possible through the support of Production Network for Electronic Art, V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media and the Arts Council Norway. Special thanks to Linda Tulldahl, Silvia Czaia and Antonio Serrano, Raymond Abell at Laboratory Services International, Eric Hulsman, Thijs van de Manakker, Marnix de Nijs, Odd B. Gaustad at Rolls-Royce, Bergen Engines Foundry and Toni Bogdanoff and Esbjörn Ollas at the School of Engineering, Jönköping University. The Iron Ring was awarded Second Prize in VIDA 16.0 Fundación Telefónicas Art & Artificial Life International Awards in 2014.

As Syrian President Bashar al-Assad wages a blood-drenched campaign for survival, Washington is stepping up plans for the day after he falls, colored by costly lessons of Iraq's implosion in 2003.
Senior US officials do not know how long Assad can cling on amid an opposition onslaught, but insist his departure is inevitable and say prudence dictates preparing for the inevitable foreign policy headache.
Washington has long called for a "transition" in Damascus, but the defection of Syrian prime minister Riad Hijab this week bolstered growing hopes here that Assad's regime may be crumbling.
Visions of a post-Assad Syria are so far characterized more by tough questions than answers. There are fears of a collapse of the Syrian state, a sectarian bloodbath, regional security shockwaves and a humanitarian crisis.
The thought that such drama could unfold at the climax of President Barack Obama's re-election fight against Mitt Romney gives the White House another reason to sketch worst case scenarios and possible solutions.
One lesson of the Arab Spring however is that historic forces that have been unleashed often defy efforts by plodding western governments to keep up, leaving officials struggling to frame new policy on the run.
Clinton and other senior officials have repeatedly stressed the need for Syrian state institutions to stay intact, to keep the country together once Assad's political operatives have been swept away.
Officials say that US deliberations are partly informed by the lessons of Iraq, when a US-led de-Baathification drive purged officials from Saddam Hussein's party, which helped incubate conditions for chaos and insurgency.
Reva Bhalla, of geopolitical forecasting organization Stratfor, agreed that Washington's painful experience in Iraq was giving US officials pause as they game out Syria's future.
If the Assad regime crumbles, officials say there will be a need to maintain basic services such as water and electricity, requiring technocrats not affiliated with ruthless political cronies of the Assad regime.
Unlike Iraq, planning for Syria's future will not be a largely US production: Washington is already in dialogue with key allies Turkey and Jordan as well as other regional powers keen to crimp Iran's strategic influence.
Obama has repeatedly discussed the Syrian crisis with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and America's European allies.
Clinton meanwhile is due back in Turkey at the weekend.
Last week, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta was in Jordan to discuss Syria after Assad with King Abdullah II. And Washington's former ambassador to Damascus Robert Ford has met Syrian opposition figures in Cairo.
While Washington is standing by its red line of not arming rebels in Syria, there are clear signs of a more robust US role.
Reports last week said Obama had signed a document authorizing the CIA to conduct covert activity in support of Syrian rebels.
He also provided an extra $12 million in lifesaving humanitarian aid to Syrian civilian victims of atrocities.
Washington has already provided $25 million in communications supplies and medical equipment for the rebels.
Foreign players in Syria's future face a myriad of problems, ranging from tracking chemical weapons stocks to the capacity of a fractured and makeshift opposition and exiles, and how to move toward political nation building.
There is also a threat that Assad's fall could rip the lid off the country's sectarian and ethnic mix, which could culminate in violence and create a power vacuum that could be exploited by groups such as Al-Qaeda.
Such an eruption, perhaps fanned by Iran, could spread instability throughout a volatile region, potentially threatening Israel, Jordan and reignite sectarian strife in Lebanon.
King Abdullah raised new alarm that Assad could enact "Plan B" and retreat to an Alawite enclave inside a fractured Syria.

Parents can feel concerned when young people want to have a party or attend celebrations such as a Schoolies Festival. Many worry about what can go wrong. However, parenting is about helping children learn to make good decisions in all situations, starting early. It can be rewarding to see them use the positive values you have helped them develop over time.
Why are parties important for young people?
Parties and socialising with peers is a fun way for young people to learn personal and social skills they need as they become adults. Parties can also be an opportunity to:
For parents, parties can be a chance to see their children growing up and interacting with others as they become independent adults.
If you are having a party, it is important for adults to be involved even if young people do not want adults to be there. If the party is at your home you have a legal 'duty of care' for the young people who attend, and also a right to keep your property safe. It can be very helpful to have other adults there too.

The Dutch are especially fond of their pils, a light golden lager usually served with a large head. Locals claim that it tastes better if sipped through the foam, so asking for a top-up may offend. There are stronger beers, usually referred to as bokbier—typically seasonal, they're made with warming spices in the winter. In summer witte bier (white beer) is a refreshing drink, a zesty brew served cool with a twist of lemon.

Kyle Hollingsworth Shares The Cheese
Two weeks ago, String Cheese Incident keyboard player Kyle Hollingsworth promised via his blog to post some SCI rehearsal footage. He has just done so, offering up the group's run through 'Outside and Inside.' In describing these sessions, Hollingsworth writes:
I just finished a week of rehearsals with String Cheese. It was pretty wild to be in that room with all five of them again. At first we chatted about what we had all be doing for the last two years and eventually we decided to play some music. The first few jams were a bit awkward, but the groove smoothed out and it felt really natural. I am thinking this could be a lot of fun!
I posted a video I made from my laptop on my new YouTube channel. This was the first time we had played this tune (Outside and Inside) in a while. I nearly got all the chords right!
The String Cheese Incident will reunite at Rothbury, which will take place in Rothbury, MI from July 2-5.
