Anti-euro party a wildcard in German elections
BERLIN (AP) — The leader of a new anti-euro party called Sunday for Germany to leave the common currency, telling an inaugural convention that the euro forces German taxpayers to rescue bankrupt southern European countries whose people denounce them as Nazis for their efforts.
A crowd of about 1,500 mostly older men cheered as the leader of the Alternative for Germany party, economics professor Bernd Lucke, said the euro had done little to bring Europeans together, tapping into public anger at southern European protesters who have compared Chancellor Angela Merkel to Adolf Hitler over the demands for reforms and austerity in return for bailout funds.
"Because of the euro, people in southern Europe don't hesitate to express their disgust toward Germany, using old Nazi comparisons," Lucke said. "This is not what I imagine Europe to be like."
The convention adopted a platform calling for changes in the European treaty to allow each of the 17 European Union countries that use the euro to "decide democratically which currency it wants to use."
Such sentiments are still the exception in Germany, where a sense of obligation to help fellow Europeans in distress is rooted in shame for the crimes of the Third Reich. But the new political party hopes to capitalize on simmering fears that the euro crisis could deepen and drag down Europe's biggest economy. It aims to garner enough votes in the federal elections to reach the 5 percent minimum needed for seats in Parliament.
"The euro was a failure, and it would be bad if we continue to believe in this fairy tale," Lucke said. "If the euro fails, Europe doesn't fail."
The stance puts the party in sharp opposition to Merkel's position that there can be no Europe without the preservation of the single currency, with her repeated insistence that "if the euro fails, Europe will fail." While still a fledgling movement, the new party could hurt Merkel by sapping support from her main coalition partner — which she has relied on for a stable government.
Alternative for Germany wants to introduce Swiss-style national referendums so voters can have a say on important matters, including economic rescue packages. The party congress, at Berlin's upscale Intercontinental Hotel, plans to adopt a program and vote for a party board on Sunday.
Many of the attendees expressed anger about what they said have been unfair money transfers from German taxpayers to help bail out countries such as Cyprus and Greece.
"This party has good ideas," said Andreas Fluegge, 49, a software specialist from Limburgerhof in the country's southwest. "The euro is a big problem for us. Since we have had the euro I'm making less money and paying more taxes for things I don't understand. I hope these politicians will change this."
For all the talk about what it doesn't like, however, the party has been short on what it does like, and its leaders were slammed in an editorial this week in the top-selling Bild newspaper as "political amateurs."
The conservative tabloid has never shied away from accusing southern Europeans of being lazy, nor has it stopped deploring the cost Germany shoulders to bail out other nations, but turning against the euro itself remains unthinkable.
"They can craftily explain what is wrong with rescuing the euro, but they have no concept on how the future of Europe should look," Bild wrote.
Experts believe the party has little chance of garnering enough of the protest vote to reach the 5 percent threshold. But it could draw enough voters away from Merkel's center-right coalition to force her into an alliance with the opposition or give the opposition an outright majority.
"There is space for an anti-euro party in Germany," said Oskar Niedermayer, a political scientist at Berlin's Free University. "So far this position hasn't really been represented in the German party system."
Underlining the potential appeal, a recent poll showed that even though 69 percent of Germans now back the euro — up from about 50 percent last year — a significant minority of 27 percent said they'd like to see a return to the mark. The survey of 1,003 people was conducted April 2-3 for the business daily Handelsblatt. The poll had an estimated margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
Abandoning the euro currency would have significant costs, especially for Germany as a heavily export-oriented economy. According to analysts' estimates, it could easily knock down the country's annual output by a double digit percentage figure.
"I think the Germans know, and to some extent accept, that they have to pay the bill for saving the euro," said Ursula Weidenfeld, an economist and author. "They just want to make sure that they aren't paying more than necessary."
Other nations such as the Netherlands, Austria and Finland have also insisted on the same austerity measures that Germany has demanded in exchange for European bailouts, but as the bloc's largest economy and the largest single contributor to the funds, most of the anger has been directed at Germany and Merkel.
Some of Merkel's voters are now beginning to wonder whether their country — and their savings — should be tied to the struggling euro project, and Weidenfeld said support for the euro "could quickly change if a new rescue package has to be negotiated."
Should the eurozone's woes spread to fully engulf Italy or Spain — the bloc's third- and fourth-largest economies — and require them to ask for a bailout, German voters could panic, said Niedermayer.
In Germany's election in September, the issue poses the greatest threat to the Free Democratic Party, Merkel's junior coalition partner, which has a pro-business platform. Because the party has polled only slightly above five percent, even the loss of a few thousand voters could mean disaster.
"It's not impossible that this new party could sap half a percent from the FDP and thereby kick them out of parliament," said Niedermayer. That could create a huge headache for Merkel, who may find it hard to form a workable majority in parliament without the FDP.
Merkel's own party, too, could suffer if conservative voters see Alternative for Germany as a credible way to express their frustration about her leadership.
Economist Rudolf Hickel told Germany's Deutsche Welle, however, that even though there is anti-euro sentiment out there, Alternative for Germany doesn't have broad enough appeal to effectively tap it.
"They are professors and frustrated economists," he said. "If the party were headed by a populist, I'd consider them dangerous."
AP correspondents Kirsten Grieshaber and Kerstin Sopke contributed from Berlin.

Research is like detective work; you have to run down a few angles and question a few witnesses (or databases) before you're done.
Much of searching for sources depends on choosing the right word to search.
The first link below gives a short, fun look at how many keywords to use in a search.
The second link helps you develop a few different search strategies for your topic. Need help thinking up synonyms? The final link, Lexipedia, can help by suggesting concrete or fuzzier related words.
While there are not synonyms for a term such as "Shakespeare," there are other ways to think more broadly about his time period ("elizabethan" or "jacobean" may lead to broader results). You can also get really specific, by searching for a particular sonnet or play.
Finally, if you have a great article, look at the subjects, keywords, or descriptors (each database uses slightly different terminology, too!) for that article and try using those words.
Databases for Literary Research
Each database does not contain the same information, or cover all treatments of a topic. Consider the information about what each database covers (both in content and by date, if necessary) before jumping in to search.
This is a good starting point to get background information on theory or traditional literary topics, such as:
Tips: Search for an author and a keyword or topic, such as Salinger and mysticism. You can also search by specific short story name and keyword, or poem and character.
An ideal place to find info on more traditional, literature based topics but also film and new media. Scholarly articles only.
Searches for your search terms anywhere in the article, so this generally takes a few tries to unlock the wealth of information. Great for interdisciplinary topics, but not great at recent topics--most of JSTOR's content is at least 3 years old.
like Library Google, but with more control of the results topic/subject and format (just articles and films, for example). Good for any topic, better after you limit it to scholarly results.
Not just science! Some literary topics covered. Worth trying, because once a good article is found on your topic, it is extremely easy to trace articles that cite it--just click the number next to Times Cited to find other articles that may also be relevant to your topic.
Don't forget the English Literature Studies LibGuide: http://libguides.bgsu.edu/litstudies; it recommends research materials in literature--the most common databases for literary research are assembled here.
It all comes down to your topic.
Find databases from the All Databases link on the library homepage, on the left side of the page under Articles & Databases.
On the All Databases page, we've grouped databases by subject; the most common Lit databases are listed under Literature and Linguistics.
If you are looking at a music topic, though, try out the Music databases list. Television shows? Try databases from the Film, Television, and Media studies list.
Each database has a different focus, and not all have the full text of articles. Some have information on a wide range of topics, such as Project Muse, while others have more information on a specific topic, such as World Shakespeare Bibliography Online.
For best results, check the descriptions of the databases before connecting and select a database that covers the same subject area and timeline as your topic.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 PSN Demo is a Major Tease
I was overtaken by excitement. One of my all-time favorite fighting games was coming to the PSN, and this week a demo was being released in the PS Store. Patiently, I await the PS Store weekly update until it goes live. The update finally arrives, and I proceed to download. More patience as I wait for the 198MB demo to downloads and install.
Yay! The Marvel Vs. Capcom demo is finally here…
Oh wait, it's here only if you have a friend ready to play locally. Meaning in this demo, there is no single player, no online multiplayer. The only mode available is local multiplayer, so you have to have a friend with a second PS3 controller ready to go before launching this game, or else you will come away extremely disappointed. Sadly, disappointment doesn't represent the game here, as it's one of the most enjoyable fighters I have come across in my decades of gaming.
Of course I didn't expect a robust offering, as it's just a demo. But eagerly awaiting through a countdown, the announcement, the week wait, the download, and the install, only to fire it up and not even get to play it. So here I sit, friend-less at the moment, and unable to play the epic Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Demo. Luckily, I do have more than one Dualshock 3, so I can pathetically play Vs. against an un-occupied controller.

Climate Progress is happy to introduce Rep. Jay Inslee (D-WA) as the latest guest blogger. Jay has long been a leader on energy and climate issues (his full bio is here). In March, he was appointed to the 15-member Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. He has a forthcoming book on climate solutions with Center for American Progress Senior Fellow Bracken Hendricks — Apollo's Fire: Igniting America's Clean Energy Economy. I've known Jay since we appeared on a panel together in January 2007. He is uniquely qualified to provide an insider's view on climate issues. Welcome, Jay!
We lost a battle but won a war against the Bush Administration's refusal to address global warming on Tuesday. The battle means little. The war could mean a lot.
As a congressman from Seattle, I joined Senator John Kerry (D-MA) and other plaintiffs in supporting a lawsuit to force the Administration to issue the statutorily required national scientific assessment of global warming. Tuesday, Federal District court Judge Sandra Brown Armstrong ordered the Administration to comply with its legal duty to provide the American people a full and fair assessment of the science underpinning this national threat, as the law requires.
For an administration bound and determined to ignore the clear science of global warming, this is a traumatic event. For America, it is a long overdue win for the environment — and our grandchildren. In its ruling, the court held that Senator Kerry and I would not become parties to the case because we have access to a congressional remedy unlike the other plaintiffs. Since we obtained the result we desired, we can consider it a total victory nonetheless.
This does not mean that we are out of the woods yet, of course. The President's outright refusal to accept a cap and trade system for carbon dioxide is a major hurdle to an effective global warming strategy. But this ruling means President Bush will not be able to argue that there are no costs to America for his policy of rank indifference to this major threat. In short, he may still be able to run, but he cannot hide.
It is about time the Administration is required to follow science rather than their political allies. This legal ruling means that we are one step forward in being able to require them to do just that.

The news from El Salvador used to be misery, assassination, and civil war that took 75,000 lives. Now it's four years since a UN-brokered peace overtook the death squads, and the Central American republic has become a model of third-world progress toward democracy and economic stability. It was singled out as such at last month's annual meeting of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
El Salvador's full recovery is still to come. Meanwhile, a heartfelt Ole!

Elementary, my Dear Watson! I'm using Google Places!
In the previous article we gave a brief overview of Google Images trends. Now, it's time to present the Google Places.
Generally, Google Places can unlock the opportunities to be found on Google free of charge on higher positions than in organic results. So, it's definitely a good chance to promote local businesses. However, every time we are going to start a project, we'd like to first get an idea of the real benefits. The question here is why you should use Google Places, instead of the many other options available?
Perhaps it's just because Google said that 97% of consumers search for local businesses online. Do you agree?
If I was the SEO manager, I'd never be satisfied with such vague data. It's absolutely not enough for me to draw a strong conclusion, and it often seems that Google's "officially presented" numbers seem to be only estimations and predictions instead of being 100% truth. Here, in SEMrush, we tried to investigate the situation in a more comprehensive manner and show the real trend.
First of all, let's check what we have by checking the frequency in which Google Places results show in the overall monthly Google search results. 520 million in the USA alone in September. By the way, this number is nearly 5% of the overall number of USA search queries.
Now it's better to see the number of user queries (searched keywords) in Google Places in USA and in other regions to gain additional understanding.
What I'd like to do in the next step is to compare the number of searched keywords from Google Places with total number of keywords. I'll compare the number of keywords from Google Places users queries with total number of keywords. It looks pretty good everywhere, besides the Russian database.
After we've figured out the keyword, situation we're obligated to take care of the historical changes. Every region is growing a lot, especially in the United Kingdom where SEO specialists seem to be working hard on promoting websites through Google Places.
I hope that we were able to convince you to make a final decision, and now you're ready and willing to appear in Google places. How to implement it Use the following linkhttp://places.google.com/business And remember that the most important information should be filled in: Here the short list of required data:
- Company address, phone and website
- Company description and adding category
- Business hours and payment methods
- Photos and video.

It is very important that after you finish the grammar or vocabulary part of an ESL lesson, you practice using that grammar or vocabulary. That means you should talk to a friend in English or find a pen pal on the English practice message boards.
Have fun!
Try these fun vocabulary quizzes for ESL learners to test your understanding of vocabulary. All quizzes have answers available.
This book will be of special value to middle school students and high school students growing up in families where English is not the first language. Like other titles in Barron's Painless series, the approach to learning is informal and user-friendly. The authors take students step by step through all parts of speech—nouns, pronouns, verbs, modifiers, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Next they offer advice for improving vocabulary, spelling, and American English pronunciation, emphasizing the importance of active listening, and learning vowel sounds and R sounds, and recognizing silent letters and homophones. The book's final three chapters concentrate on written English, advancing from correct punctuation and sentence structure to writing essays and stories. The book's gradual, step-by-step approach makes the mastery of English a truly painless process for students whose first language is other than English.
Designed for use in middle school and high school classrooms, as well as at home, books in this series transform subjects that are normally dreaded by many students. Painless books take light-hearted approaches to their subjects, while addressing topics that classroom texts never get to. Painless Speaking explores the uniquely human act of oral communication, including elements in our culture that shape the way we speak. It explores finding one's voice, understanding the basic unit of speech communication (an utterance), learning the art of conversation, reading aloud from fiction and nonfiction texts, and instruction in public speaking, which entails composing, practicing, and delivering a speech. Students will find guidelines for self-evaluation of a public speech.
The author points out ways in which recognizing sound and letter patterns makes spelling easier. Also important are recognition of diphthongs, silent letters, compound and abbreviated words, contractions, homophones, homographs, prefixes, suffixes, and base words. "Brain tickler" problems challenge students' imaginations and test their learning progress.
Barron's popular Painless Series of study guides for middle school and high school students offer a lighthearted, often humorous approach to their subjects, transforming details that might once have seemed boring or difficult into a series of interesting and mentally challenging ideas. Most titles in the series feature many fun-to-solve "Brain Tickler" problems with answers at the end of each chapter.
Updated with many new references, this entertaining book advises students on ways to enliven their essay assignments with vivid images, avoid the dull passive voice, and construct smooth, well-crafted sentences that flow together to create unified themes. Short quizzes called "Brain Ticklers" appear throughout the text. Titles in Barron's Painless Series are written especially for middle school and high school students who are having a difficult time with a specific subject. In many cases, a student is confused by the subject's complexity and details. Still other students simply finds a subject uninteresting, an attitude that usually results in lower grades. Painless titles offer informal, student-friendly approaches to each subject, emphasizing interesting details, supplementing the text with amusing insights, and outlining potential pitfalls clearly and step by step. Students begin to understand how disparate details all fit together to form a clear picture. Timelines, ideas for interesting projects, and "Brain Tickler" quizzes in many of these titles help to take the pain out of study and improve each student's grades.
This brand-new addition to Barron's Painless series is focused to meet the needs of middle school and high school students. The author's friendly, informal narrative style takes the drudgery out of students' vocabulary building, which is a prerequisite for their academic achievement and future success in college and beyond. Each of 24 chapters introduces 15 new words, first placing the words in a brief essay that allows students to comprehend them in a given context. "Brain Tickler" questions that follow challenge students and help them determine whether they have gained some mastery of word usage. Sidebars appear on many pages with titles such as "Major Mistake Territory," alerting students to possible pitfalls and problems involving correct understanding of word meanings and normal usage. Each chapter concludes with an "On Your Own" section, which invites students to use the target vocabulary list within the context of their own everyday speech. Morbid. . . furtively . . . predecessor . . . infer . . . are typical examples of words students will learn to use with ease. The book's vocabulary is neither too easy nor too arcane—focusing instead on words that students should have at their command in high-school and by the time they enter college.
A Conversation Book 1: English in Everyday Life, by Tina Kasloff Carver and Sandra D. Fotinos-Riggs, helps beginning level students to develop conversation fluency. The student-centered text and audio teach the vocabulary and life skills necessary for natural communication. Each of the ten units focuses on an essential aspect of daily life such as food, shopping, and work. Activities ranging from role plays to group surveys promise a lively class and help students achieve the language competencies needed to succeed at school and work. With chants by Carolyn Graham.
New to this edition: *Easy-to-follow unit structure includes a Preview page, six 2-page lessons, Listening Practice, Review, and Assessment wrap-up.*Picture Dictionary openers introduce and contextualize the vocabulary of each lesson.*Model Conversations and Partner Interviews offer students opportunities to talk about their own lives.*Conversation Chants help students acquire the sounds, rhythms, and intonation of conversational English.*The Scope and Sequence highlights correlations to CASAS and state curricula.

The couple that bounty hunts together stays together?
Duane "Dog" Chapman and wife Beth have been hunting down fugitives side-by-side through more than eight seasons of reality TV. The secret to keeping their love alive? "Lots of sex," Chapman told FOX411.
"Besides that, we're together all the time," Beth said. "We've nurtured our relationship through the hard times by being loving to one another and affectionate and to always remember not to go to bed mad."
The Chapman family currently stars in CMT's "Dog and Beth: On the Hunt," now entering its second season. Beth says the family has been careful not to fall into the woes that most reality stars face.
"We also don't play into the curse of reality television either," Beth said. "We're not into the 'wars' that go on in reality TV that tried to plague our family once, but we quickly got rid of that, so we don't play any of those games. This is a real show, this is what we really do for a living."
Chapman says filming the most recent season was trying for the family due to an uptick in violent drug use across the U.S.
"A lot of the people are, if you want to say, 'hopped up on speed,' are violent as heck, so we're using our non-lethal weapons constantly," Chapman said. "We used to brag about no stitches, no blood. We can't say that after this season any more."
As for vindictive fugitives looking to exact revenge on the Chapman clan, Dog says they better thing twice.
"If they come back at us, it'll be the last thing they do," Chapman said.

TAMPA — South Florida`s fragile underground water supply is being threatened by greedy Mafia overlords, who have taken control of local garbage companies in order to disguise illegal dumping of toxic waste at area landfills, according to testimony Wednesday before a state panel.
By controlling refuse collection companies, the mob is able to ``comingle`` household garbage with hazardous waste in dump trucks hauling the trash to the landfills, a former Mafia associate, now in the federal witness protection program, told the Governor`s Council on Organized Crime.
Federal and state regulations say hazardous and toxic waste can be dumped only at federally designated sites. The nearest such site to South Florida is in Alabama.
``The way the mob looks at it, if it`s a dollar, it`s worth having. They`re nickel-and-dime weasles. They don`t care if they pollute drinking water or give kids cancer by polluting the soil,`` the witness using the name Harold Kaufman told the council.
For two years, Kaufman cooperated with the FBI in New York in tape recording conversations he had with Mafia figures who controlled the solid waste and toxic waste industries.
Before cooperating with the FBI, Kaufman said he controlled 12 New York trash collection firms for the mob that illegally dumped toxic waste along with garbage at a landfill on Staten Island.
Later, New York officials discovered the landfill had become so polluted that 1 million gallons of hazardous materials a day were seeping into adjoining fresh water.

After watching the Great British Bake Off Christmas Special with Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood showing us some of their favourite Christmas bakes, I just had to make Mary Berry's Bûche de Noël! They also made Christmas cake and pudding – unfortunately I stand in the camp of not liking Christmas pudding – so the Bûche de Noël was a great alternative idea.
I made the ganache topping first because it has to cool down and set in the fridge for a few hours. I heated 300ml of double cream on the hob until it was quite warm. Mary says for it to be just hot enough that you can still hold your finger it in.
I mixed in 300g dark chocolate until it was smooth and glossy. I left it on the window sill to cool to room temperature, then popped it in the fridge for a few hours while I made the rest of the Bûche de Noël.
I missed the boat on taking photos during this point, apologies! I used my food mixer to whisk up 4 eggs with 100g caster sugar until it was frothy. Then sifted in 65g self-raising flour and 40g cocoa powder and folded it into the egg mixture gently so as not to lose the frothiness.
I put it into a lined baking tray (I don't have a swiss roll tin, but this works just as well) and baked on 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6 for 8-10 minutes. It sprang back up when I pressed it with a fingertip.
I prepared a sheet of baking paper dusted generously with icing sugar, I tipped the sponge out onto this while it was still hot, peeled off the baking paper it was baked in, and used a knife to make a grove along one end about 2cm from the end. Then I rolled the sponge up as tight as I could, taking the paper with it. I left it to cool fully still wrapped in the paper.
Once it was cold, I whipped up 300ml of cream, I'd say to use less as I had a lot left over. Unless you want extra cream to serve with the Bûche de Noël!
I unrolled the sponge and spread out the cream onto it using a palette knife.
Then I rolled it up again, I was pretty happy with the neatness of my roll!
I cut the roll diagonally at one end and positioned on a serving board to look like a branch.
The ganache was nice and thick by now. You want it to be as thick as a butter cream. I used a star nozzle and piping bag to pipe the ganache in lines along the roll, and swirls at each of the three ends.
A dusting of icing sugar and it was ready to eat! Sadly I didn't have a faux holly sprig to decorate with, but I still think it looks pretty good! This is the first time I've followed a Mary Berry recipe exactly, and it worked perfectly with all her instructions and tips, she really is a genius!
I have also entered this into Blue Kitchen Bakes Classic French Challenge!

Michelle is a homeschooling mom to 6 with a grandbaby on the way; co sleeping, baby wearing, homebirthing, cloth diapering all while blogging at http://www.blessed-quiver.blogspot.com
I LOVE cloth diapers. This post is likely to get long because I have a lot to say about cloth diapers.
These diapers are not your mother's diapers. These diapers are more like disposables. They are easy to use and easy to clean.
First let's have a little tutorial for those cloth diaper newbies who may be reading. Please remember that this is just my opinion and everyone will have different results.
There are 4 basic kinds of cloth diapers: prefolds, AIO's, fitteds with covers, pockets.
Prefolds-These are your mothers diapers. They are just the soft cotton square/rectangular diapers that you lay baby on and fold up. Now they make Snappis to fasten them with so you don't have to use pins. These come in basically one or two colors; white and off-white. But you can tie dye them or color them.
Advantages: CHEAP, you choose absorbency
Disadvantages: time consuming to put on, several steps, bulky
AIO's-These are almost exactly like disposables. They either snap or velcro. One step and you are done. These Berry Plush are especially soft, comfortable and cute. Every print and fabric imaginable can be found. These are best for short periods of time or when you feel lazy.
Advantages: quick, simple, slim
Disadvantages: can't choose absorbency
Fitteds with covers: The bottom diaper is either snaps or velcro and it goes under a cover. (These must have a cover or they will get the clothing wet.) They come in various fabrics and designs, as will the covers. Usually the covers are plain though. As you can see in the picture, they aren't all plain. These are Kissaluvs (my fave) and a Gen Y cover, which I thought was just so pretty, but that I've never actually used.
Advantages: ease of use, can choose absorbency
Disadvantages: two steps, can be bulky
Pockets: These are great for overnight and car rides. Every imaginable print or fabric. These are Blueberries which is a wonderful brand and one of my faves.
Advantages: last all night because you customize absorbency, they usually grow with baby a little better than other kinds
Disadvantages: STUFFING them gets tedious, hands can be too big
With cloth diapers there are "name brands" and then there are "generic brands". Name brands are Bum Genius, Fuzzi Bunz, Kissaluvs and other brands like that, which are made by bigger companies and get national advertising. Generic brands are the work at home diapers like Loving, Caring, Anointed, and Kuddly Kreations. Basically moms who work from home to make a little extra money.
I suggest trying out a little of all and finding what you like. Every diaper will fit babies differently. And what you like for one baby may not work for another.

I know I'm young and I haven't had too much experience with sex, but I can sure recognize good sex from bad sex, and most of what I've had so far has been with guys who didn't give a damn if I enjoyed it or not and just wanted to get off. Even their pussy licking was done for their own satisfaction and not mine. My friend said it would be different than other sex I've had. It sure as hell was! From start to finish it took far longer than I'd ever spent on sex before, and I had two big cums." .

A few months ago I wrote this post: 100 or bust.
The plan was from Feb. 1 to now to lose 1 pound a week for a total of 20 pounds.
The plan also was to move out of my current apartment.
Neither happened.
And though at first I wasn't happy with this, all I can do is trust that where I am now is where I'm meant to be.
The truth is, I love my current apartment, I love the area that I live in, and I get along fantastically with my roommate. Still, I wanted a change. After a month or two of looking, however, I realized a change just wasn't in the cards for me financially. My roommate and I happen to have a beautiful, sunny, spacious apartment that we pay a ridiculously low rent for in N.J. standards (ridiculously high for everywhere else in the country) and staying wasn't bad, it just wasn't what I had planned.
As for the weight, well, that's more complicated.
As of right now, my weight is hovering around 155 pounds. That's a total of 88 pounds lost. I've stopped calorie counting, I'm only stepping on the scale once a week, at most.
I'd be lying if I said this has been easy to accept. The sudden and scary return of binge eating has made it near impossible to have any control over my weight, but it's also forced me to stop caring about my weight and start caring about my health, both mentally and physically.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, it mystifies me that I've been able to lose this much weight. Truly and totally astounds me.
Wanting to lose more and struggling so much to do it (and still not losing) is hard, sure, but how could I possibly be disappointed in myself?
Tomorrow I'll be boarding a plane for a two-week adventure around Europe. As I was packing, I found these passport photos that were taken in 2009 in order for me to get a cell phone in India. For comparison's sake (and because it really is that hard for me to see change) I quickly snapped a selfie and put the two side-by-side.
There are no words to accurately describe what it feels like to look at those photos.
It's overwhelming to the point of being uncomfortable. I don't know what to think when I see my younger, fatter self. I'm just, astonished.
The last few weeks have really been a process of understanding that while my body is different, the thoughts in my head aren't. Some days when I look in the mirror I think I get scared because I'm not sure how living this way actually works. I have to remind myself to breathe, and to take it one day at a time.
Losing weight has forced open other parts of my life that are really tough to deal with, parts of my life that I didn't have to deal with because the fat gave me a pseudo-barrier against all of it. It was my excuse to keep most things and people at a (chubby) arm's length.
Losing weight has forced me to be honest about my past, about why I gained the weight, and has led to some uncomfortable conversations both with others and with myself through journaling.
Most days I'm grateful for this. But some days, it's just fucking scary.
Despite all the scariness, I am truly excited about the general state of my life right now.
I'm excited about my vacation that starts tomorrow.
I'm excited to return to an apartment that is both familiar to me and that I love.
And I'm excited to have started an honest process of breaking free from binge eating, obsessive calorie counting, and daily weighing.
I didn't reach the goals I set for myself in February. To be totally cliche, life took some different turns, some sharp curves, and some unexpected detours.
My favorite travel moments have always been the days where I'm exploring without a goal of something to do or some place to see. Where I get to wander in new surroundings. Where I'm allowed to gaze as long as I want at the beauty of something unfamiliar.
That is how I'm trying to live my life right now. After being so restrictive and purposeful for over two years, this isn't coming naturally, but I'm getting better at handling the discomfort every day.
I could be upset that I didn't reach my weight loss goals, but I choose instead to focus on the present. To flow easily with life, moment by moment, not tying my current contentment to a past that I cannot change or a future that has yet to be created.

On July 4, Novak Djokovic will celebrate the one-year anniversary of becoming the World No. 1 tennis player. Djokovic entered The Championships in 2011 as the No. 2 and left as the No. 1, as well as the winner of the tournament.
With the win he became the first player to overtake Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal as the world's top tennis player since 2004 and the first other than those two to win Wimbledon since 2002.
Djokovic is proving himself to be the best, having won four of the last six tennis majors (only failing twice to capture that elusive French Open, which he needs to complete the career Grand Slam). He's in fine form at Wimbledon this year, having easily dispatched Juan Carlos Ferrero and Ryan Harrison in straight sets in his first two matches.
The center court superstar is making it look easy, despite racking up some serious hours of play. Djokovic holds the record for the latest finish to a match since the tournament began in 1877, when he and Olivier Rochus played until 10:59 p.m. in the first round in 2010.
If the women's bracket is any indication, then this year, anything can happen. On Wednesday alone, four of the top-13 seeded female players were defeated, including Caroline Wozniacki, Li Na and Sam Stosur.
Still, upsets are not part of Djokovic's game. He's 125-25 lifetime at major championships, including 30-1 in the last two years. Djokovic has made it to at least the quarter-finals at four of the last five Championships, and only twice hasn't made it to the quarter-finals of a major since the French Open in 2007, so betting on him to beat No. 28 Radek Stepanek and then either No. 15 Juan Monaco or Viktor Troicki in the next two matches is almost a sure thing.
However, that may make for some enticing tennis betting odds for those who like to play the underdogs. The competition for Djokovic and the other top-ranked players have consistently had odds in excess of +2000 so far which, obviously, has a huge payout even on small bets.
You can also check out the Bovada Sportsbook at the end of play each day to see the latest tennis futures. Place your bets early while the top players' odds of winning are still worth betting on.
Of course, you may be content to just enjoy your strawberries and cream.

Variations to the Covers of the National Geographic
On the very first bullet of suggested topics for this group, Ephemera & Collectibles ~ odds n' ends, Scott lists NGM variants. I've decided to take a stab at it, although I'm sure my list is far from complete.
First a disclaimer: I am NOT going to list issues with/without the red TV advertisement banners from the '60s, barcodes for newsstand issues, or additional advertisements like the October 2013 "Free Poster" which was only on newsstands.
With that being said, let me proceed with what I've got so far.
I. July 1889
Two versions of the July 1889 (Vol. 1, No. 2) issue of NGM as per Buxbaum (1971) page 77. Photos courtesy of Jim Persons.
II. April 1905
This is the, now famous "red covered" reprint of the very popular Philippines number. Both Buxbaum and Nathan have documented this cover variant. Membership grew from 3,400 in January 1905 to 11,000 by the end of the year in large part to the popularity of this issue. While additional production runs usually use the same stock, this may have been a "kill two birds with one stone" moment that allowed the disposal of some leftover, red stock from 1903.
III. February 1915
This is the "Town of Many Gables" issue, but is it Hildesheim or Munster? The article is about Munster so that answers the question. I can find no documentation from any source about this variant so I'm claiming this "discovery" as my own. (Hold the applause, just send money.)
IV. January 1916
The January 1916 issue was so popular that the Society reprinted it with a notice across the top margin that reads "SPECIAL REPRINT".
V. January 1917
The first cover lists three articles, the second one has four. The additional article, "100 British Seaports" does appear in both versions. It was just skipped on the cover until the error was caught. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons.
VI. March 1927
Does the second article have 18 or 17 "Natural Color Photographs"? The answer is 17. This means the erroneous "18" version came first. It was followed, mid production run, with the corrected "17" version. Image courtesy Jeff Persons.
VII. May 1928
This is known as the "Acorn Issue". Mid production run, the border was changed not only upping the number of acorns, but also changing the globes. Notice Antarctica. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons.
VIII. February 1946
Notice the two different banners at the top of each cover. One mentions the Map of the Western Hemisphere and the other an ad for U.S. Victory Bonds. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons
IX. October 1974
One version has the South Central States supplement map advertised in a red banner across the top of the cover. The other version does not. One version has the South Central States map listed in red on the spine. The other version does not. You would think that it would be an either/or situation here, but you would be wrong. One version has both has both map citations and the other has neither,
X. December 1974
One of these issues was stamped for the fifteenth anniversary of the RRD North Plant on November 15, 1974. It is not known how many were printed. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons.
XI. September 1977
My knowledge of this variant, with green borders instead of yellow is thanks to Jeffry Persons who has posted a discussion on it right here in this group. It is an interesting read and I'd recommend it. Thanks Jeff! It is a cover-only variant, they were bound with random pages, thus not a true issue. I must confess I do not have this variant in my collection. I just had fun modifying my image with Microsoft Paint.
XII. March 1984
The cover used has a hologram of an eagle, the other, which was ready for use if the holographic cover wasn't ready, has a photograph from China. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons.
XIII. December 1988
The holographic globe issue. But which foil to use? Silver or Gold? Gold proved better. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons.
XIV. November 1999
The newsstand version of this issue has an attached strip and a different format of the contents. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons.
XV. May 2000
Newsstand copy has an attached flap and different formatting of the content. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons.
XVI. July 2000
Newsstand copy has an attached flap and differently formatted contents on the cover. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons.
XVII. December 2001
Another cover flap and alternate formatting on the newsstand version. Image Courtesy of Jeff Persons.
XVIII. November 2003
This issue had two different newsstand covers. In addition, the newsstand copy that has the same cover image as the subscription copy has a different content format. Perhaps to make room for the barcode. Images courtesy of Jeff Persons.
XIX. October 2005
This pair was posted way back on April 7, 2011 by Ricardo Tavares Dias. The "Nelson at Trafalgar" cover is actually the UK version of the magazine while the "Killer Flu" cover is the US/Canada one. (Not in My Collection)
XX. January 2006
This is another example of where the newsstand cover is completely different from the subscription issue's. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons.
XXI. May 2006
This issue had two different covers: one for subscription members and another for the newsstand. Apparently the newsstand version was used to help advertise the TV special on the NGC titled "The Gospel of Judas". Thanks go out to Philip Riviere for pointing this one out to me.
XXII. March 2007
Here, the newsstand and subscription covers have the same photo but different formatting and verbage. Image courtesy of Jeff Persons.
XXIII. August 2007
This alternate, newsstand cover about post-Katrina New Orleans was pointed out to me by JB Penn. It was a limited run, just for that region of the country. The subscription version, and apparently most of the newsstand copies were about the Maya. (Not in My Collection)
XXIV. April 2008
Still another example of where the newsstand cover is modified from the subscription one. Image courtesy Abramo Russo.
XXV. December 2010
First version has barcode, a flap, and King David title on the right-hand side. Second version has the flap and right-hand side title but no barcode. Third version has no flap, no barcode, a the King David title on the left-hand side.
XXV. April 2011
The newsstand version of this issue has an attached strip with a Volcano picture and blurb instead of the table of contents. It superimposes half of the Inca cover photo, is lighter and is easily removed. The Inca photo underneath does NOT have the Table of Contents like the subscription version. This pair is courtesy of Abramo Russo.
XXVI. May 2013
The cover states "This baby will live to be 120" and has a picture of said baby. There are FOUR versions of this cover, one for each major ethnic group in this country. Philip Riviere has a photo album containing all four, and a fifth one on a Mexican NGM.
XXVII. April 2015
This is cheating a little bit. The Hubble cover is from the UK magazine and not the US one. When Thierry Lombry posted it, I just had to get one. It was delivered on April 24th, the 25th anniversary of the Hubble's launch. All the articles are the same but the advertisements are British.
XXVIII. March 2016
Here's another subscription vs. newsstand variant. This one for March 2016. Photos courtesy of Abramo Russo.
XXIX. April 2016
The Society pulled out all the stops for this issue with ten different covers. The theme is "The Photo Ark: One man's quest to document the world's animals, one picture at a time". This entry is thanks to Scott Shier and Philip Riviere.
XXX. January 2017
There are two distinct covers on "Gender Identity" for this issue. Image was found by Scott Shier.
XXXI. February 2017
As with January 2017, there are two covers: one for subscribers and the other for newsstands. While the subscriber's cover is more eco-conscious, the newsstand cover plies the buyer with alcohol.
XXXII. March 2017
What seems to be a standard practice, when the covers use the same image, the subscriber's copy has minimal writing beyond the banner, while the newsstand's version has bold headlines. This newsstand copy happens to be the Spanish version, the U.S./Canada headline reads "Vikings".
XXXIII. April 2017
As with last month, the subscription and newsstand covers are different with the newsstand version including bold headlines. Photos courtesy of Scott Shier.
XXXIV. May 2017
The U.S./Canadian newsstand version has the word "GENIUS" in large letters on it much like the Croatian version shown here. Photo courtesy of Abramo Russo.
XXXV. July 2017
Again, the newsstand has a eye-catching "Secret Antarctica" on the cover that is not needed on the subscription version.
March 2018
This is a good one from Jeff Persons. The one on the left is the subscription (and newsstand) copy. The one on the right is a mystery. My first guess was the UK version which seems to be the case. (Advertisement prices are in Pounds.)
May 2018
The May 2018 cover has the same variants between the subscription issue and the newsstand issue in that the subscription cover has the artwork with very small writing whereas the newsstand one has a large, eye-catching title, in this case "Picasso". As with several earlier issues this is a tie-in with the Nat Geo Channel (Second season of "Genius").
June 2018
The June 2018 newsstand cover again has the large, bold title "Planet or Plastic" printed on the image along with additional writing. The subscription cover has a minimal title and much less other text leaving the image more pristine.
July 2018
Continuing the trend of have a large, eye-catching title on the newsstand cover while leaving the photo pretty much pristine on the subscription cover; the July 2018 issue is entitled "Building a Better Athlete".
August 2018
The August 2018 issue continues what seems to be standard operating procedure with the subscription version's cover having minimum verbiage while the newsstand copies having a large headline and contents documented as well.
October 2018
After a one-month hiatus, the October 2018 has the bold heading on the newsstand copy but not the
subscription one. Also shown are the American newsstand version as opposed to the one from Spain.

I could sense this was on your mind more recently, so I was just waiting to see a post like this today!
A few of us were talking about "alternate" covers several years ago here on the 'Corner, and besides 2-3 of us that were interested in them and were attempting to gain copies of them, the general reaction was something between //yawn//, 'who cares', and 'these are not collectible; not old enough to be collectible or worth time, etc.' Or as one said it: to start collating and collecting alternate covers will become too tedious and never-ending...
One other person who is a Corner member and myself have been collecting all the "alternates", what you may be thinking of as a part of this "variant" concept, but I would urge a full conversation to dissect and parse the terms, as applied to what item is being discussed.
For instance, may I point out for thought that if April's Hubble/UK cover is a "variant", then there are 36+ variants of NGM every month (e.g, all the foreign editions, English or not). And even if we only included English-language, there are still 5+ "variants" on average, per month, since 2001 roughly.
I've been documenting and following these variants, or alternates, for years. For U.S. and N. American editions, I have a full photo file archive of all the versions, and an Excel sheet where I was notating the different versions, if/when/where they occurred. Note, NGM/NGS has never really been able to provide any kind of accounting of these, as on the operation side of things, NGS became too diluted, and sprawling for any one division, department, or staff member to really have a handle on it. By this I mean a 'forest for the trees' awareness and intimate familiarity.
Eventually, if I had sensed there was new/revived interest from future 'Corner members, I was going to re-present the situation as it stands, ever evolving. A tidbit: with foreign editions and newsstand domestic NGM's, there was a significant change made in the logic of cover-image choosing. Marketing & Advertising, rather then Editorial, started to have a huge impact on what our NGM covers would be, even to a lesser degree on our US member copies. It's no accident or organically grown instance how the covers were overhauled in late 2000, along with interior + content changes. More ads, more "busy" covers, the page #'s being eliminated, the termination of the gorgeous Garland/oak wreath atop NGM, the placement of ads on almost every RH side page in the Departments sections, the elimination of the Letters Forum a few months ago, the sporadic printing (lately) of the NGS & NGM masthead inside each...etc.
There are many instances where a newsstand cover was intentionally calibrated --and different from members'-- to smack your face in the store so you'd pick one up. Also, the tendency is that the foreign, or newsstand copies (again, when the covers are different from US), the headlines are more provocative, or even, more controversial in the sense of pushing buttons. For the most part, our N. American member's copies have hewed much more to a right-of-center, "vanilla" manner of presentation, in terms of cover text wording, and imagery.
This is all off the top of my head since I just saw what you shared. I have much more detail and photos I could share and expound on. But as I started to say earlier in, I think when there was a printing "variant" is much more applicable to things like a promo copy (the green one above), the 1905 wine color, or times when there was a slight modification made during a print run ... something along the lines of those October 1970, 1974 issues where the TV announcement banner, or book announcement was emended or altered. Even discrepancies like an error or flaw that got out into circulation would be a form of variant -- such as that 1985 Taureg skull hologram from Chris McIlwain elsewhere on the Corner.
These per country or retail venue covers in the 2000's - present are a completely different beast altogether, and seem to me to require being cataloged very separately. I've been saving all these images just for an occasion such as your post Tom, glad to see you bring it up.
(I too, already have a Hubble 25 NGM on its way to me, I love space + cosmic covers especially. Indeed, this is the 2nd time that Hubble was the cover for a UK edition, but not on ours).
Oh, and despite your opening comment, I don't see a way of diving in to this without bringing up newsstands, bar codes, the 1970's TV banners, and 2013 poster. He heh. I hope you didn't mean I can't bring it up : ) Speaking of which, I'd say that the 125 years posted from Oct. 2013 would be a better definition of variant, than even the May 2006, April 2015 UK covers are.
**Alternates are something that are completely different, and were planned that way - there's no "variation" of an existing U.S. NGM in this regard. Whereas a variant is something that slips in, like a TV banner, a defect, a mid-printing correction, and last-minute addition (poster) to some of the copies, etc. etc. Also, not to explode your head but there's actually, (I'm giggling here) 3 variants within the May 2006 "variant". Tee hee hee. : - )
~ Scott
As I said, the UK cover was cheating. I know from Abramo's many images that the foreign covers are, more often than not, different from the US/Canada issues. I was just having a little fun here.
BTW, I actually have a piece of the Hubble. It is on its third set of solar panels. The first set was discarded and burnt up in the atmosphere but the second set was returned to earth. I knew someone at the Space Telescope Institute here in Baltimore who gave me two cells from one of the panels.
And yes, you gave me something fun to think about w/ your post. You come close to a particular sub-set of NGS minutia that I have a specific interest in!
* btw, I think your February 1915 "discovery" is most excellent, and truly one of the best single examples of a pure-bred "variant" !

PSE Brute Review1 editor review + 16 user reviews
Editor review:
The name says it all, Brute. This bow is a great hunting bow especially if you are on a budget. The incredibly smooth draw and very forgiving brace height make this bow easy to shoot accurately. It is also virtually vibration free, giving it the feel of a much higher priced bow. It is hard to find anything wrong with this bow especially at its price point but that, in fact may be its down fall. Priced at such a low point, the Brute may actually be over looked by many hunters. It seems that over the years the industry has taught that you need an expensive bow to be a successful hunter. Well, the Brute definitely proves that theory wrong... read full review

that page tells a lot of people writing of jesus in history
just because i may be younger does not mean i am any less intelligent or that i dont do good enough research.
i found that page with a quick google search and if "in all your years" you could not find that or anything similar you are not a good researcher my friend
look at both sides of an argument before you start spouting nonsense.
go look at all the proof for the bible, and you just may find the real truth, i pray you do
evolution is not a fact, i have looked at both sides, there is plenty of problems with it as well as valid arguments, but saying it is fact is just ludicrous and stubbornness

lol so you attack the threads purpose..arent we trying to learn
josephus was born 4-5 years after jesus' death.. the others 30-40 years and its obvious that they would have to talk about him after his life..
if i did a report on lets say amelia earhart, would it just be hearsay since i never met her? she existed bottom line many people did meet her
those people writing that long ago knew jesus existed they would not spread doctrine about a man knowing that people could easily just ask people who supposedly saw him that werent connected to the religion

Not all are facts just because someone claims they are.
You give a web page as proof?? haha here is another one with the opposite view.

Why on earth do creationists always bring up Jesus when talking about ID / evolution?
There are NO historical texts that validate the bible.
Which is why you didn't quote any.

And also on NON-random selection, and also some other processes.
Originally posted by resonance
..the word random goes hand in hand with the chance that a profitable mutation occurs, and is carried on
We directly observe beneficial mutations occur and get passed on.
We have observed new species evolve.
Do you ever plan to check the facts ?

i never showed a flawed view of science
but i do not like when people do not look at all the sides and consider all alternatives, that is not science
In its more restricted contemporary sense, science is a system of acquiring knowledge based on scientific method, and to the organized body of knowledge gained through such research.
1. Gather data ( observations about something that is unknown, unexplained, or new )
2. Hypothesize an explanation for those observations.
3. Deduce a consequence of that explanation (a prediction). Formulate an experiment to see if the predicted consequence is observed.
4. Wait for corroboration. If there is corroboration, go to step 3. If not, the hypothesis is falsified. Go to step 2.
Using controlled methods, scientists collect observable evidence of natural or social phenomena, record measurable data relating to the observations, and analyze this information to construct theoretical explanations of how things work.
i honestly dont get what will satisfy all of you lol its so sad
you wont count the gospel accounts or the pauline letters because they are in the bible..those are the first hand accounts and are why they are there
i provide other people in history who knew of this mans existence, who did not profit from the religion as they were from different backgrounds but that does not suffice
the evidence for the creator is everywhere..the complexity of the universe, matter, energy, life, none of its existence can be explained by science but through a creator it can and you reject it and say it is not evidence
the fact that we know so much about all these things but can not reproduce the results should show you science has it wrong, but you willingly choose not to see it that way
i pray you all will learn to stop relying on the flawed system of modern science as it hates new ideas and contrary beliefs and refuses to accept them, this is the downfall of today, not religion

All right, Darwinists: you say evolution is a fact, and fossils are the evidence. Where is the evolution? 58 million years have gone by in your scheme, and we have the exact same families of plants today. There isn't enough difference to concern the most fervent young-earth creationists (notice that ICR celebrated this find as confirming of a young earth and global flood).
Surely if natural selection was acting for such a huge amount of time, we should expect to see some evolution. Remember, you believe that a cow turned into a whale in less than half that time. We love fossils and evidence, but give us a reason other than your own bluff to take your storytelling scheme seriously.

The 23-metre tall billboard displays of Lee 101-Z jeans will be the first such ads in China, Lee officials said - adding that the company is taking a giant jeans step ahead of its major competitors, US-based Levi Strauss & Co and Wrangler.
Last year, Lee put up the world's first giant pair of denim jeans in Hong Kong. The huge pair of trousers were displayed on route to Hong Kong through Europe, North America, Australia and South Korea. The company held a "Lee's Fun Photo Competition" to promote their products. Similar events are expected to be held in China after the colossal jeans arrive in Beijing. The tall jeans will spark a promotional campaign from Lee, which selected 36 university students from the US, the Chinese mainland and Taiwan, Macao and Hong Kong to formulate a marketing strategy for positioning Lee jeans in the Chinese market.

Does the job!
It is a good cream/paste. Don't need to use too much. Seems to work as advertised, but it isn't my husbands favorite. Definitely more of a paste consistency and takes a bit of work to spread out and blend into hair, but overall seems to be a good product!4

Gucci is planning to open flash sneaker stores in the coming months.
""Gucci Icon-Temporary is that method. The flash sneaker store will touch down in six or seven locations around the world where tastemakers gather, such as Art Basil Miami Beach, staying open for two or three weeks in each spot. The first stop on the tour will be Crosby Street in SoHo on Oct. 23. Other stops will include London, Berlin, Paris, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
Gucci Icon-Temporary units will feature 18 exclusive sneaker styles — 16 for men and two for women. Incorporating classic Gucci design elements such as the GG logo and a stylized version of the Gucci red-and-green web detail, each shoe has an embroidered "Limited Edition" label inside and a silver or gold metal dog tag hanging from the laces. Leather tags on shoe laces can be customized and embossed with a shopper's initials.""
Not only will the stores feature limited edition footwear, they will also introduce a collaboration sneaker with DJ and music producer Mark Ronson.
""A new Gucci Ronson version will be introduced at every leg of the itinerant project. Icon-Temporary sneakers are priced from $500 to $1,400, and Gucci Ronson shoes, $500 to $600.""
Once the stores start opening, we will be able to give you a closer look. After the jump you can check out a mock-up of the pop-up store and further looks of the Gucci x Mark Ronson sneakers.

One of the dirty little secrets about e-commerce sites and applications is how often they go unused. Shopping carts get abandoned mid-stream, catalog searches go unfulfilled and b-to-b applications lie dormant. Industry watchers say at least part of the blame goes to the plain-Jane, static nature of e-commerce user interfaces.
User interface (UI) design may seem like an esoteric topic. But, as marketing execs know, presentation is just as important as content. And when it comes to e-commerce Web sites, too many are too ugly, too slow and much more static than interactive.
The solution, observers say, may come in the emergence of new design tools and smart Web servers that allow companies to build much richer, interactive Web sites that act more like software applications than HTML pages. Out are flat page designs and endless trips back to the server. In is more dynamic content that can be executed right within the Web browser for a richer, more immediate experience.
"What weâve experiencedâand itâs the first thing companies seeâis an immediate, tremendous improvement in navigation," said Bruno Saint-Cast, president-CEO of Esual Software Inc., a Paris-based vendor that recently set up shop in the U.S. to push its rich-client technology. Esualâs European customer base includes Siemens AG, Xerox Corp. and Motorola Inc.
X-Internet on the way
Internet consultancy Forrester Research calls such applications the X-Internet (short for executable Internet) and claims this new approach "will redefine Internet application design," said Randy Souza, a Forrester analyst.
Some X-Internet vendors are familiar names. Macromedia Inc., whose Flash technology is prevalent in rich-media advertising and interactive Web page design, is pushing its new MX line of design tools and servers as a launch pad for X-Internet applications. It recently debuted a sample pet store Web site that shows what can be done: The site loads quickly, rarely requires customers to download a new page and steps through the check-out process without a trip to the server, delivering forms and calculating the sales total on the fly.
"A lot of people are looking at the rich-application model," said Tom Hale, Macromedia senior VP for developers.
There are also many new companies making X-Internet tools. Some of the more interesting players are: AppStream Inc., which breaks up existing applications and delivers them for local execution in a Web browser; Curl Corp., which has built a new programming language for creating interactive, visually rich browser applications; and Zaplet Inc., which focuses on rich, interactive email communications.
The cost of these applications varies, but a full company deployment is not cheap. For example, pricing for the tools offered by Curl or Esual starts at about $25,000.
Siemens used Curlâs technology to build an interactive Web dashboard that lets executives get a real-time view into how its business is doing. Edmundo Ruiz, CIO of Siemensâ mobile division, was skeptical about Curlâs promises but ultimately discovered he could build a much more powerful e-commerce application using this approach. The new application downloads 90% faster and has resulted in an 83% increase in usage compared with their previous application, Ruiz said.
Rich applications have rich b-to-b marketing potential as well. Siemens Business Service tapped rich Internet application tools from Esual to build an interactive marketing campaign for a new cell phone launch. Siemens used Esualâs tools to build an interactive, multimedia phone demo that, at just 10 Kbytes, was small enough to be delivered via e-mail.
The application "required very little bandwidth but the message that we sent was very sexy," said Michel Fortin, an account manager with the Siemens Business Service division.

Another BP safety valve blew last week, and this time Republicans fought among themselves over whether the resulting gusher should be shut down immediately or allowed to flow until the Grand Old Party is turned into a dead zone. Yesterday, almost buried under the cover of Gen. McChrystal's defenestration, they announced they were going with the latter.
We're referring, of course, to Rep. Joe Barton's gushing apology to BP CEO Tony Hayward for Obama victimizing the poor little oil giant by pressing it to create a $20 billion compensation fund for the real victims of BP's disaster. This sort of Republican Crude—naked, knee-jerk support for corporate profits no matter what—has been poisoning democracy long before Joe Barton explicitly spelled it out. And the party has always tried to soft-pedal it as the American way, with the aid, naturally, of the corporate media.
But what really sets this episode apart is that it's a relatively rare instance in which reason and unthinking emotion are on the same side. In politics today, they're usually in conflict, with "What's the Matter with Kansas" liberals like me yelling "Don't they seeee? They're only screwing themselves." But this time the raw populist anger at BP (and at anyone who'd actually apologize to it) is allied with the simple logic that says if you cheat, lie, and destroy, you must pay for it.
Bill O'Reilly is one of the few media figures on the right who knows enough to stick with that good ol' mob-inflected outrage even when it's shared by libs. We need a Chicago-style shakedown, he told Michele Bachmann, who knee-jerked that Obama was "extorting" BP for the $20 bill. "Come on!" roared Bill. "I'd go in there with a machine gun if I were president and say, hey, you put the money in here or you're not getting out of the room. So, I mean, I'm okay with it."
That is one confused congresswoman! I'm all for an escrow fund, but I'm not. Obama should pressure BP, but he shouldn't. Bachmann was trying her best to agree with O'Reilly—she assumes, after all, that he's with her in yet another us-against-them battle—but she's too ideologically brittle to even get his point. Their confrontation exemplifies a growing split among conservatives. Not just between fringers and establishment Repubs, but between those who believe extremist statements are the only way to demonstrate they are willing to "walk the walk"—"No-RINO-me" types–and those who realize that that walk leads off a plank.

Foursquare, if you're not familiar with it, is a social media platform that allows users to "check in" to their current location. Retail stores and other establishments will often have special discounts or awards that can be won by checking in.
Many people use this service for its basic function: to let others know what they're up to. This can be fun in and of itself, but not all of us want the world to know our whereabouts 24/7. For those who don't want to shout their location from the rooftops, Foursquare also allows you to check into locations privately, or with a limited number of followers that can be controlled.
How is this specifically helpful for actors? Well, on the most surface level, it can make networking easier. Checking into a location such as a film screening lets people know that you're actively involved in the industry. This is especially helpful if it's a screening of a film you're in or any other event that gets your work out there. You can also attach notes to your Foursquare check-in for others to read—anything from your website's URL to a compliment to the director of a film you saw and loved.
I've also always been the type of person who likes to keep track of my recent auditions, to remember what offices I'm getting into, callbacks, audition dates, etc. For years I kept this kind of information in a handwritten notebook—effective enough, but not really convenient, and it's easy to slack off. But with Foursquare, I can check into any casting office (privately) right on my phone in about 10 seconds. This leaves me a permanent digital record of career happenings that I can refer to whenever I need to. It really comes in handy.
Are you using Foursquare or a similar program now?

Sask. stepping up construction zone enforcement
Following the death of a road crew worker from New Brunswick earlier this summer, enforcement of Saskatchewan's "orange zones" is being stepped up.
Saskatchewan Highways Minister Don McMorris said Wednesday that the province will pay the overtime for extra RCMP officers in highway construction zones — also known as orange zones — from now until the end of the road-building season.
Ashley Dawn Richards, 18, and her fiance had recently moved to Saskatchewan from Lakeside, N.B. to start a family.
They both found work on a road construction crew, with Richards working as a flagger. On Aug. 23, while on her first week on the job, she was working near Midale when a car struck her and she died. Her fiance later disclosed that she had been pregnant.
Police are investigating the incident.
Later, Premier Brad Wall vowed to do something to make orange zones safer, setting the stage for McMorris's announcement Wednesday.
McMorris said the extra enforcement will add to the policing that is already happening.
"We've seen enforcement in the orange zone — 175 tickets roughly annually per year — but obviously there needs to be more enforcement when you hear workers saying that speed is an issue," he said.
The minimum fine for speeding in an orange zone starts at $140, with an additional $2 for every km/h over 60.
The province has set aside $15,000 for the extra policing costs.

Macbook Air or Thinkpad X1 (Beijing)
I visited Zhongguancun and exercised Mac Air yesterday, suddenly attracted by it. It is so light, so special and beautiful. But my old Desk pc and Dell laptop are Windows 7 and Windows XP. If I change to Mac Air, I have to install Virtul Windows 7. If get it from US or HK, it will be English version, no Chinese version. I don't know how to use Mac Air, I think I need local technical support. If a thinkpad, it is Windows. So headlock.


text: TOUR DATES NEW ALBUM Esdras Nogueira is a saxophone player, musical producer, and cook, with three solo albums released: Esdras Nogueira Quinteto Ao Vivo (2017), NaBarriguda (2016), and Capivara (2014); In 2017, the Esdras Nogueira Quintet toured Brazil extensively. From the tour came his third album, a live one entitled Esdras Nogueira Quinteto ao vivo. Listen to it here. In recent years, Esdras Nogueira has established himself as one of the great names in Brazilian instrumental music. His solo career values instrumental music that is very much Brazilian, with influences from carimbó, jazz, salsa, samba, and afrobeat. Brazil knows the musician because of Móveis Coloniais de Acaju, the ska- influenced band that announced a break for an undetermined amount of time in 2016 and that made history in Brazilian stages during 18 years. His solo career began with the release of Capivara in 2014. The debut album was a tribute to the master Hermeto Pascoal, where Esdras dared to interpret the master's compositions and was complimented for it. "I listened to it, it's great. I was happy with his interpretation of the music. The songs are different but without losing their essence. Esdras is off to a great start and will go far", said Hermeto Pascoal himself, after listening to the release. Listen to it here. NaBarriguda came in 2016 and is filled with music you can dance to, giving continuity to a theme that began with the first album. It contains compositions by Esdras and interpretations on songs by Hamilton de Holanda, Egberto Gismonti, and Cartola. Listen to it here. In 2008 he took part of the first international tour with Móveis Coloniais de Acaju in Europe, which passed through Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, and Switzerland, in small and large festivals, including Pukkelpop in Hasselt in Belgium. With Móveis he also played in Niceto Club in Buenos Aires, and participated in the Primavera Sound business fair in Barcelona, in addition to three performances at the Festival. In 2013 he traveled with Sistema Criolina for a 6 performance tour in Australia. In 2015 he was invited as the only Brazilian representative for a solo performance on the saxophone, in Dacka, capital of Bangladesh for two performances, one at the Dacka Jazz and Blues Festival and another at the official Brazilian residence. In 2017 he participated in the last edition of Jazzahead, and will be also in the edition of 2018, and in 2013 was a speaker at Campus Party Brasil and at Social Media Week ion São Paulo, talking about technology cases applied to the music and work of a band. He works very actively in the local and national music scene, as an artist and as a producer. Now he also intends to expand his work outside of Brazil in a more active way. As a producer and curator, from 2003 to 2012 Esdras produced the Móveis Convida Festival, which included performances by bands such as Pato Fu, Los Hermanos, and Teatro Mágico. He also produced the Festa do Samba in 2007, where he also played, with performances by Diogo Nogueira, Pedro Luís, and Wilson das Neves. Currently, Esdras produces the event Coma no Jardin, which unites music, food, and creative use of public space and takes place during the dry season in Brasilia. The Festival "Music is not Noise, Music Transforms" will begin in 2018 with instrumental music in venues spread throughout Brasilia. The festival also includes debates on the music business and performances in schools and hospitals that work with music as a tool for transformation. In the food world he is co-creator, along with his wife, Mariana Cardoso, of Coma Lá em Casa, a food blog where they publish recipes and write about food- related topics in addition to hosting a supper club. http://comalaemcasa.com.br/ The Esdras Nogueira Quintet is: Esdras Nogueira (baritone saxophone), Marcus Moraes (guitar), Léo Barbosa (percussion), Rodrigo Balduino (bass), Thiago Cunha (drums).
