The 9th annual V-Twin Expo will open its doors February 6th at noon for a series of seminars, then on Saturday February 7th at 8 AM, thousand of dealers, members of the industry and press will rush inside the Cincinnati Duke Energy Center to meet hundreds of exhibitors showing their 2009 ware. Of course, I will be there as a custom builder, dealer and online publisher, reporting on what will seem to me the most interesting innovations of the year. But all professionals know that it's impossible, by lack of time, to stop by or spend enough time on each booth. So, to avoid receiving flames after the Expo for missing your booth, I propose all exhibitors to email me in advance at firstname.lastname@example.com the info regarding their new product(s) for 09. Please, indicate if you have a date for release (before, during, after Expo). I remind my readers that only bona fide motorcycle retailers, manufacturers and members of the press have access to this Trade Show. So, please, if you are not a professional please don't ask me anymore if I can give you an invitation. I can, but I will not because I play by the rules of my industry.

Cyril…. It looks like we wont make the show this year. It's always one of the high points of my year. I'll be looking forward to your reports.
Jan 11th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
26 days and counting.
See you there .
Jan 11th, 2009 at 9:48 pm
One of these days I will get to be there when the Army will let me be in the US when the show happens. It would be good to be able to do an article on it for my site
Jan 11th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
Are there any stats on the number of vendors with booths and the number of dealers coming this year versus years past?
Jan 12th, 2009 at 7:32 am
Hey Ray
I am looking to see and try out the new rotors and brake pads you are making.
I have been reading good things about them and want to find out for myself.
I am sure a product evaluation and Tech Article would not hurt either. LOL
See Ya in "CINCY"
Jan 12th, 2009 at 7:39 am
The V-Twin Expo is a must go to for me. No not because I do article for Paisano BUT because it is where I find many of the new products I do Technical Articles on.
It is the first major event that I attend every year.
There are also seminars that are very informative and helpful to me.
Of course seeing friends and business associates and socializing are added benefits.
If you are one of the people that are eligable to attend the EXPO I sincerly hope you will do so. I know you will be happy you did.
Jan 12th, 2009 at 7:54 am
Will miss you too this year Cyril!
I have a photography shoot at the Super Bowl and with it being in Tampa just 40 miles from home I had to take the job.
With the 2008 rally season down and economy, I wonder how that will affect the exhibitor attendance and dealers that come out.
Jan 12th, 2009 at 8:48 am
We will be there with American Iron Magazine http://www.aimag.com covering the latest goodies and services for Harleys. Also RoadBike magazine http://www.RoadBikemag.com, and Classic American Iron on-line magazine http://www.caimag.com. And we will have an interesting announcement about a new venture related to motorcycle media too.
Jan 12th, 2009 at 9:11 am
I'm personally looking forward to getting out to Cinci. It's always a great weekend. I'm hoping that the vendors presence is strong. We as a Biker Media company will be there shooting pics and video as always. http://www.bikerproductions.com

I have only attempted pita bread once before, and it did not turn out so well. I attempted it again this past weekend, and the pitas turned out beautifully. My pitas are not perfectly round….but neither are my pancakes. I just am too impatient to make a nice circle! I just want to eat the foods. 😉
Having a few years of bread making under my belt helped with making better pitas this time, I think. I understand a little more the science behind yeast and the other ingredients. When I made it this time, it seemed so easy. So, maybe I was just too new to the whole making my own breads thing the first time I made pitas. Who knows. Regardless, they were yummy!
This recipe uses the bread machine. I suppose you could do the dough step by hand, I just haven't tried it with this recipe. I like putting the bread machine to work for the dough making. Also, this recipe doubles very well (and easily). The original recipe here only make 6 pitas, so if you have more than a couple of people in your family, you may want to double it.
Griddle-Baked Pitas
3/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup warm water
4 tsp oil
1 cup bread flour
2/3 cup whole wheat flour
3/4 tsp yeast
Olive Oil
Add the items in the order recommended by your bread machine and run the dough cycle. When finished, punch down and dump onto a floured surface. Divide dough into 6 balls then flatten by hand into 6-inch rounds (or whatever shape you happen to make!). Place on floured parchment or a baking sheet and cover to rise for 30-45 minutes, until puffy.
Heat griddle (I did my electric griddle between 300 and 350 degrees) to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of pitas with oil. Cook on griddle, 3-4 minutes on each side or until browned (my griddle took more like 6-7 minutes to brown them) and puffy.
Makes 6 pitas.
These pitas would be good for pita pizzas, if you like making individual pizzas. I know my kids do!

(AP) - A buildings inspector was airlifted to Renown Hospital in Reno after falling down a ventilation shaft in the Blasdel Building behind the state capitol.
The Nevada Appeal reports the man, who fell more than two stories while helping to upgrade the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system in the building, underwent surgery for his injuries Wednesday afternoon.
Officials say he was awake, talking and moving his upper body when rescuers pulled him from the shaft.
According to officials, the man was in stable condition by Wednesday evening.

Stop complaining about your job............
It's safe to assume that none of us wants to be an orangutan-pee collector.
But the task exists, as we're informed by November Popular Science's, "Worst Jobs in Science."
The third annual tale of generally painful, tedious and downright smelly duties opens with a look at Cheryl Knott, a Harvard University pioneer in "noninvasive monitoring of steroids through urine samples."
She's labored mostly in Indonesia, with the aim of understanding ape reproduction through analysis of estrogen and progesterone levels, prompting her focus on urine collection.Knott has got competition for the magazine's list.

AES Custom Multi Shells (there's also a MVS model available). I prefer the bare PCB look, so I went with the custom case instead of the standard shell. The build quality is surprisingly good for a 3D-printed/acrylic part.
I hope that I can muster up the energy to come up with a custom label for it at some point.
How's the fit of this? The neosd shell is kind of a tight fit in my aes so I've been thinking finding an alternative case of some kind.

I'm pretty sure they use the MV1C board which produces true stereo sound.

Happy New Year! Year end work is in full swing for me at Aviva Investors; therefore, I have been quite distracted from setting New Year goals )and from working on taking the Christmas tree down).....
Anyway, I have been working on reading the Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin and have also been thinking about picking "One Little Word" to concentrate on for 2012. It all came together for me last night....my word is GRATITUDE, and I am going to start a gratitude journal as part of my own Happiness Project.
There was a recent news story about a local high school girl losing her battle with an inoperable brain tumor that first made me prayer for strength for her family, then, count my blessings. Then, news on one of the blogs I read regularly of a couple seeking divorce made me count my blessings twice. No matter how the messy house irritates me or how the sassy kids annoy me, I am blessed. I believe keeping this Gratitude journal will provide a daily reminder of these blessing and , in the end, lead to greater awareness of all I have to be happy about in life. I also hope this leads to me sharing my Gratitude with those closest to me and leads to a healthier and happier 2012 for all of us.

Traders are speculating Friday's March jobs report could top economists' forecasts, yet there is more negative anecdotal labor-related data for the month than positive.
Economists expect to see 200,000 jobs created in March, and an unemployment rate of 6.6 percent, according to Thomson Reuters. In February, 175,000 jobs were added, and the unemployment rate was 6.7 percent.
Ian Lyngen, senior Treasury strategist with CRT Capital, compiled a list showing the nine negative factors and five positive labor anecdotes, ahead of the release of the March employment report.

Following on from the conversation on the Forum, I sought advice. I firstly looked on the internet for anything to do with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD). There wasn't a great deal, but what I did find, I found incredibly helpful. It was describing my son impeccably. So I went and saw a friend who has a deaf child, asking him what I should do next.
He pointed me in the direction of the NDCS, who were very helpful….in fact, they still are! After speaking to one of their Audiologists, I knew what I needed to ask for at the doctors. The Audiologist e-mailed me the advice that they gave me, so that the doctor would take me more seriously (I am trying not to laugh as I type this!). I printed off the e-mail and took it with me to our first of four doctors appointments. The first doctor said that he should have a hearing test at school, and that we would take it from there. My son had, and passed the school hearing test. I went back to the same doctor, who told me that he could obviously hear okay and that he chooses not to listen. He did ask 'Glue Ear' questions, such as whether I noticed that he could hear better when he didn't have a cold. I told him that wasn't the case, and a quick look in both his ears showed that his right ear drum was dull, but otherwise all was okay. I went home and I cried.
I went back to another doctor, saying pretty much the same thing. This time I was told that my son would grow up to be very successful, because he doesn't listen to others, and is very strong minded, and so what if he grows up arrogant and ignorant of other people? He doesn't listen when out and about because he is having way too much fun! Again, I went home and cried.
I decided to try at the doctors one more time. If it failed, I would have to find a doctor that would listen to me elsewhere, or pay to go private. I was that convinced that there was something wrong, I would have done whatever it took. On this fourth appointment, I took his red book, which showed there had been issues since the age of two, and a questionnaire I had found which can be used for guidance and whether APD would be probable. This time, the doctor listened to me and referred my son for assessment.
I can't say I was glad, but it was a relief to be listened to, finally! But, as I had been going through this process, I was learning that there were other parents out there with children with 'invisible disabilities' where professionals were ignoring their plights for help. The other parents I encountered were from all walks of life, and like me, they were being treated badly. They felt, like I did, that people thought that the problems were once in a while occasions, not the constant every day battles that we were facing. Society also seemed to think we were looking for scape goats for our child's misbehaviour. We weren't. We were looking for answers. Looking for ways to deal with the behaviour we were presented with. Wanting to be heard.
I think this will always be a problem. Even now that we have some answers, I still get well meaning people asking me if I have tried this, that or the other. I still don't get taken seriously that my son has a problem, and that it is not my parenting.

Jesse grew up not knowing much about her past, so she's excited to receive a letter from the Flux Family promising answers if she'll help them retrieve various historical artifacts by travelling through time with the help of a special device. Flux Family Secrets: The Ripple Effect is the latest casual title to combine hidden object and adventure gameplay, and is certainly fun while it lasts.
Both the time-travelling story and the gameplay, which involves searching scenes for pieces of objects to fit together, then putting the whole objects back into the scenes where they belong, are extremely similar to Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox. In each of the game's 10 chapters you'll visit three different historically significant locations, such as Shakespeare's theatre in Renaissance-era England, ancient China in Confucious's time, and the famous Abbey Road recording studio in the 1960s. Here you'll interact with famous historical figures themselves to help them find historically significant items (like Einstein's missing E=MC2 equation) that fall into broad categories like Art, Music and Invention.
Some special "tool" items are found intact, and you'll use these to solve puzzles, such as using a lockpick to gain access to a cupboard. Mostly, though, you're actually searching for pieces of items rather than whole ones. Like Mortimer Beckett, the items are spread out across the three scenes so you'll have to travel back and forth several times to find everything. Flux Family Secrets also boasts its fair share of mini-games, which are challenging and enjoyable, but which can be skipped if you would prefer. (Doing so adds extra minutes onto your overall completion time, though.)
Flux Family Secrets is untimed, and there are unlimited hints provided you wait a few seconds for them to recharge in between uses. Using a hint not only reveals an object's location, but also offers suggestions about what to do next if you get stuck. For example, it might suggest that you try using a certain object in a scene, or tell you that there's nothing you can do here at the moment, so try travelling somewhere else.
There's also a magnifying glass that lets you zoom in for a closer look. I didn't find myself using it that much, and sometimes it didn't seem to make a huge difference (such as in Amelia Earhart's garage in Chapter 7) but a couple of times it did actually help me find items I might not otherwise have seen that easily.
There are only ten historical figures and ten time periods in the game, so you'll find yourself visiting the same ones several times in different contexts. Some of them seem like a stretch – such as Albert Einstein showing up in the Antiquities of Music chapter. Sure, he loved playing his violin, but surely there were more significant musical moments that could have been highlighted? The locations themselves might be similar, but the scenes themselves are different – in other words, you might see the same garage from three or four different angles.
The story offers some intrigue as Jesse starts to have doubts about the noble motives of the Flux Family. Are they really a family of time-travelling do-gooders, or do they have some other reason for trying to meddle with history? (Be warned, the ending creates more questions than it answers.)
Once you've completed the game, you can play again with items in different places, which gives it some welcome replay value.
In spite of a few nitpicks here and there, chock up another enjoyable, if not entirely original, hidden object / adventure game hybrid in Flux Family Secrets: The Ripple Effect.
For similar games, try Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor, Mortimer Beckett and the Time Paradox, and The Serpent of Isis.

Drake verse:
Ok you know you been on my mind, A-town I miss you
And old girl will come late and bring all her tips through
Break up the weed while I brake down my issues
Get paper she blows that, the next day you know that
Daydream at night time I think to much
Then I hit the night club till its day time and I drink to much
Not time for no good girl, they hold on and they clinge to much
I just wanna hood bitch that tells me that I sing too much
Oh yeah, shout out the women playing your position
I be movin through my city like a politician
Hope you dont judge me, cause me and you are all not different
You made me this way, you made me famous, you all assisted
New niggas tryna shine, I didn't condone it
But im back in this bitch, re-living the moment
Im about to have it popping off again
Drama bout to make it rain on mary poppins and her friends

Hello everyone !
Here finally got something to contribute .
This last time was hectic at work, and other times I was not allowed to do any of carpentry . But, as it is difficult to remove completely the wood from mind, finally joining free time and I could arrange a laminated table to put the pizza.
I started with some woods of Guayovira and Anchico , both very hard wood , laminate and make the idea of subsequently cut into circle and thereby end the table. But after mulling over the idea I decided it would be much simpler cut an octagon , wich a circle , had to do it with a hand saw . Also note that if added two small parts could make a larger table and thus make the most of the laminate without wasting wood.
So is : light wood interior is anchico , dark with yellow lines is guayovira , and has two woods on the sides are cedar .
Also take to strengthen union with small cedar glued at the end of the grain , and reinforced with 3 mm dowels. Do not know if this was necessary , but also I like this .
Hope you like and probably is my last contribution of the year!
Very Happy 2014 to all ( and much sawdust ! !)

text: After Mrs. Brains exposes her son in utero to books, music, and TV news, newly born Baby Brains is reading the newspaper the morning after he comes home from the hospital, fixing the car that afternoon, and performing surgery within a few weeks. With results that parents who compulsively surround their diapered offspring with Baby Einstein products and such can only envy, what's left? A trip into space—but floating alone, high above the Earth, Baby Brains finds intellectual pleasure giving way to a more elemental need: "I want my Mommy!" <\b>James illustrates Baby Brains's brief career with lively, Quentin Blake–like cartoons featuring a high-domed toddler and pair of flummoxed-looking parents. Their anxiety changes to proud content when he reverts in the end to more baby-like behavior—except on weekends, that is, when he returns to the OR. Overachieving parents will enjoy this gentle poke in the ribs as much as will their doubtlessly brilliant progeny. (Picture book. 6-9, adult)

Albedo refers to how reflective and bright something is. Snow has a high albedo, which is why skiers wear sunglasses and sunscreen.
Technically speaking, the albedo of an object is a ratio. It compares the amount of light hitting the surface of the object to the amount of light that gets reflected back. The more light reflected, the higher the albedo. Scientists often use this word in reference to the surfaces of planets and other reflective objects in the night sky. Albedo comes from a Latin word for "white."

I had a great time travelling throughout southern Mexico for two weeks late last year, but you wouldn't catch me dead in the United States border city of Juarez. And that's because too many people are already turning up dead there.
Police in this city of 1.5 million people across the Rio Grande River from El Paso, Texas processed an already high 320 murders in 2007. Then the Mexican government launched a drug war against the cartels and those numbers increased to 1,623 homicides in 2008, 2,754 in 2009 and 3,622 in 2010, compared to just five in El Paso.
The violence involved in these killings -- including torture, disfigurement and beheadings -- makes the law-abiding people of Juarez fearful and the economic health of the already poor city has declined significantly. Narco Cultura looks at the harsh realities of Juarez through the eyes of a crime scene investigator named Richi.
While that in itself would make a compelling documentary, director Shaul Schwarz also profiles Los Angeles singer Edgar Quintero and his band, BuKnas de Culiacan. Quintero sings narco corridos -- songs that glorify the gangsters and their drug-dealing, mass-killing ways -- which have become very popular in the U.S. and several Spanish-speaking countries as well as Mexico.
Much of the music, based on Mexico's accordion-driven norteno mixed with other popular genres, is often catchy and danceable. But the lyrics, often about real people and events, are repulsive. Here's a typical example from BuKnas de Culiacan, which performs with a group member carrying a bazooka, while audience members happily sing along:
"With an AK-47 and a bazooka on my shoulder/Cross my path and I'll chop your head off/We're bloodthirsty, crazy, and we like to kill/We are the best at kidnapping/Our gang always travels in a caravan/With bulletproof vests, ready to execute/I'm number one, code name 'M1'/I'm backed up by El Chapo/My name is Manuel Torres Felix sending greetings from Culiacan."
The top-selling narco singer, El Komander, makes $45,000 per show playing in large venues and is sought for steady bookings across Mexico and the U.S. Mexican action movies based on narco corridos, with singers as their stars, are available in major American chain stores. These guys are, to borrow a cliche, "living like rock stars."
This film deserves kudos for effectively juxtaposing the adulation received by narco singers against the lack of recognition given to investigators who risk their lives daily while trying to solve and stop drug murders.
But where the movie suffers somewhat is in ignoring how narco singers and musicians have also become victims as well as chroniclers in the wars between the vicious cartels. Dozens have been executed. If you're singing the praises of one gang, that makes you the enemy of another. And these grudges are deadly.
That topic could make an interesting documentary on its own. But Narco Cultura opens eyes in depicting ways of life that, thankfully, are virtually unknown in Canada.

Measuring Effective Top Tube & Fork Length
Other companies measure ETT differently. Cervelo measure slightly below the head tube, along the center axis of the virtual top tube.
The calculator does not account for the difference in measuring the ETT. It can be calculated, but difference tiny, less than half a millimeter. And there's no difference if the seat tube angle and head tube are parallel.

What does stem length, stem angle and fork length have to do with stack and reach of the frame?ReplyDelete
Hi, fork length is used to calculate stack/reach for frames that don't have that info published.ReplyDelete
Stem angle is used the calculate the stack/reach of the stem. This is added the the frame's stack and reach. Mainly used to compare fit of bikes, as you want to compare them from the centre of BB to centre of stem. E.g you want your new Trek to have the similar stack/reach as your old Specialized. This is assuming you use the same handlebars and shifter position.
What does the calculation in the second set (headset+spacers+stem stack*0.5) mean? The numbers do not appear to actually be adding headset length to spacer length to half the stem stack, so I dont know what for sure to do with this value. Also the units vary from mm to cm all over the calculator and when downloaded you cant see the formulas (not an excel expert) so its hard to tell if everything is behaving correctly. Dont get me wrong, its the best I've seen by a long shot, I just want to make sure Im approaching it right before dropping cash on a stem for the new frame.ReplyDelete
wow,i really like your blog,your blog give me a good information related to the Pocket Calculator.Thanks for this good one.......ReplyDelete

If you have read any of David Moody's other books you will know that survival is a key motivator in his books, and this one is no different. Be prepared for an ending you will be expecting but not in the way you are expecting.
Gil T's Pleasures – 7th November 2018 – read the full review
I believe that any parent that is a fan of science fiction or apocalyptic fiction will truly enjoy this story. As I said before, David Moody has an ability to pull you into the daily life of another human being and make you feel as if you are there, living and perhaps even suffering alongside the characters.
Do yourself a favor and pick this book up at your local bookstore…or on amazon.com…or on your Kindle…or wherever else you can (e.g. there is no reason you can't) because it is absolutely awesome.
Geeks and Geeklets – 30th June 2016 – read the full review
Der Roman schreitet voran und schreitet voran und es wollen sich partout nicht die kleinen Verdachts- und Beunruhigungsmomente einstellen, auf deren Erkennung man als Genreleser eigentlich geeicht ist. Irgendwann drängt sich daher die Frage auf, ob das nicht der Zugang sein könnte, den Moody zum Thema gewählt hat – nämlich dass zur Abwechslung tatsächlich mal nichts Schlimmes passiert. Oder zumindest nichts Schlimmeres als Toms fortschreitende Entfremdung gegenüber seiner Umwelt. Aber würde das nicht total Moody's apokalyptischer Bibliographie widersprechen? – Also, ich verrate nichts.
Sehr spannendes Buch!
Der Standard – 30th April 2016 – read the full review
Overall, a quality read from an author at the top of his game in the world of creepy, claustrophobic, apocalyptic fiction.
Jonathan Wood – 5th May 2014 – read the full review
David Moody fans (or sci-fi junkies) will be pleased to note that this title is currently available online for free. And it's pretty damn fine. Not as strong as Moody's Hater, but perhaps it isn't even fair to compare the two because in a lot of ways they are very different stories.
Shelf Inflicted – 4th May 2013 – read the full review
Trust a fantastic book and I will definitely read more of the author. I hope he gets more attention in Sweden for that he deserves! For me, this book is innovative and I hope it will be translated into Swedish, so that it reaches more readers!
Swedish Zombie – 13th March 2013 – read the full review
David Moody is definitely one to watch.
The Conspiracy Review – 20th November 2012 – read the full review
The writing is not as visceral as Moody's popular postapocalyptic novels, but that isn't a bad thing: this story, with its slowly building sense of unease and multiple thematic undercurrents (probably the best being the frequent references to popular fictional alien-invasion stories by way of illustrating how our perceptions often conform to our expectations), needs a more delicate touch. Moody's many fans will absolutely want to read this one.
Booklist Online – 8th November 2012 – read the full review
Forget the idea that this is an anti-science fiction novel. It has aliens in it and it's a treatise on how the ordinary person copes when the world which they are familiar with changes beyond all recognition. In my mind, that makes it very simply, a very good science fiction novel.
Geek Syndicate – 18th October 2012 – read the full review
Trust is a slow-burner and all the richer for it. The layers of characters and details of the story play out perfectly when matched with an ending you're not likely to forget. It's also an outstanding novel, delivers in more ways than one, and is worthy of a place on the discerning fan's bookshelf. 10/10.
Starburst – 20th September 2012 – read the full review
Being objective, Trust will not be for everyone. Moody has a talent for taking his time with telling a story, developing it fully, before building to climactic and even shocking finales in his work and Trust continues this form. Those who don't have the patience for such efforts and are seeking a less cerebral, more action-driven plot would do well to look elsewhere. For those looking for something a little different, infinitely more satisfying and thought-provoking, get yourself a copy of Trust at your earliest convenience.
Andy Erupts – 9th September 2012 – read the full review
For regular Moody readers, Trust is the latest in a long line of thought provoking, intelligent novels, and a chance to see him stretch his wings outside of the Autumn and Hater universes. For new readers this is an ideal starting point to discover this major British talent who despite his innovations and successes of the last decade, you get the feeling is only just getting started.
Shadowlocked – 3rd September 2012 – read the full review
Moody is selling Trust as an anti-scifi book, and that's pretty much what you've got here. Unlike a lot of contemporary scifi, this story is defiantly character-focused, and heartbreakingly accessible with it. It's not Hollywood fodder. Think District 9 as opposed to Independence Day. I'll stand by the word 'epic' to best describe this book. Because from gripping start to heart-pounding finish, this is a story that will shake you to the very core, resonating long after you've turned the final page. And there's nothing more epic than that.
Wayne Simmons – 12th August 2012 – read the full review
Laced with humorous observations, and a slow creeping sense of unease and paranoia, Trust is a spectacular piece of fiction and a prime example of what David Moody does. He is a unique writer, creating fear and discomfort in the reader and giving a brilliant payback with the ending.

Pitbull Biography
Armando Christian Pérez, prominently known by his stage name Pitbull, is a renowned American artist cum rapper, who hails from Miami, Florida, USA. Of all the achievement and acclaim he appreciates and savors today, his adolescence was only the opposite. His guardians, exiled people from Cuba, split up when he was only a little child and thus he was exclusively raised by his mom and later on by a temporary family from Roswell, Georgia when his mom showed him out on discovering that he had begun hawking medications quite recently like his dad. Notwithstanding his guardians emphasis on being in contact with his Cuban roots, he wouldn't have known about Jose Marti—the Cuban national saint and writer—at three years old, and would have never discovered the adequacy and limit of straightforward word power. Subsequent to finishing his graduation, he instantly set spotlight on his music. He was especially affected by Celia Cruz and Willy Chirino and attracted to Miami Bass type of popular music called Crunk. Lil Jon, acknowledged as the expert of Crunk, propelled him in the collection 'Rulers of Crunk' in 2002. A universal star in the genuine sense, he's worked close by Lil Jon, Eminem, 50 Cent, Afrojack, NeYo, Ying Yang Twins, Twista, Adassa, JLo, and so on.
Childhood & Early Life
Pitbull was born on January 15, 1981, to Cuban exiled people, in Miami, Florida. His guardians separated when he was youthful and he was bolstered by his mom alone.
Jose Marti, a Cuban national legend and writer, affected him and even at 3 years old, he could present his most acclaimed works. He trusts his high music insight and prevalence originates from the way that he spent his adolescence listening to Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Bass Music, Hip-Hop, Techno, House and Rave.
He finished his instruction at South Miami Senior High School and moved on from Miami Coral Park High School. Quickly, he was enduring on focussing altogether on his rap

HONG KONG (Reuters Life!) - China's giant pandas need not only bamboo, but also ancient forests to thrive in the wild, a study in western China has found.
The Chinese researchers hunted for panda grounds in forests in Sichuan province and marked out 1,116 habitats after finding the animals' faeces and foraging sites.
They analysed common traits in these habitats and found that they were mostly located in forests that were at least 100 years old.
"Previously, we thought slope was a very important factor, but from this study, forest age emerged as the most important reason, as important as the presence of bamboo," said Fuwen Wei, deputy director of the Institute of Zoology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
Wei and colleagues, who published their findings in The Royal Society journal Biology on Wednesday, believe pandas use large trees as "maternity dens".
"Old forests offer many maternity dens which are necessary for panda reproduction. Where big trees are felled, there are no more maternity dens," Wei said in a telephone interview.
A 2004 census by the Worldwide Fund for Nature revealed there were 1,600 pandas in the wild.
Considered a national treasure, the panda is seen as having come back from the brink of extinction while remaining under threat from logging, agriculture and China's increasing human population.

For Immediate Release: Jan. 30, 2014
Columbia University Study Highlights New Framework for Women's Health
WASHINGTON, DC — Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) applauds U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) today for introducing the Health Care for Women Act, a congressional resolution to highlight the importance of women's health and ensure that health care reform addresses the needs of women and families.
"The economic crisis and soaring health care costs are taking a toll on women's health. Women of childbearing age spend 68 percent more in out-of-pocket health care costs than men, in part because of reproductive health-related needs and services," said PPFA President Cecile Richards. "As a trusted health care provider for more than three million patients each year, we see firsthand the growing need for access to quality, affordable health care for women throughout their lives. Planned Parenthood applauds Sen. Stabenow and Rep. Schakowsky for their longtime commitment to women's health, and for their leadership in working to ensure that women's health is an integral component of any health care reform plan."
The Health Care for Women Act sets the framework for ensuring equity in health care by recognizing the multiple roles women have as health care decision makers, caregivers and providers, and calls on Congress to pass legislation that "guarantees a level of benefits and care, including comprehensive reproductive health care, pregnancy-related care, and infant care, that is necessary to achieve and maintain good health throughout a woman's lifetime and lessen the burdens caused by poor health."
In stressing the need to address women's health in health care reform efforts, the resolution highlights alarming statistics:
- More than 17 million non-elderly women were uninsured in 2006, an increase of 1.2 million women since 2004. Half of the growth occurred among low-income women.
- Thirteen percent of all pregnant women and 20.4 percent of all women of childbearing age (12.6 million) were uninsured in 2006.
- More women of childbearing age are underinsured (20.4 percent) than all Americans under age 65 (17.8 percent). Women pay 68 percent more than men for out-of-pocket medical costs.
In conjunction with the resolution, the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health released a report called Women's Health and Health Care Reform. The report is endorsed by 38 deans of schools of public health and includes policy recommendations pointing to a new framework for women's health and health care reform.
Recommendations include
- linking prenatal, family planning and medical care as part of a seamless continuum of care for women
- linking reproductive health care with screenings and follow-up for health needs in later life, so that women's care is integrated across their life spans.
Both the Health Care for Women Act and the Columbia University Study echo and reinforce Planned Parenthood's advocacy for a women's health agenda that focuses on prevention and wellness care, ensures access to care for all women, and guarantees the spectrum of health care for all women. Greater investments in reproductive health care will improve women's health, reduce the incidence of disease, and promote healthy childbearing. Moreover, ensuring access to reproductive health services is essential to women's full and equal participation in society.
As the nation's most trusted reproductive health care provider and advocate, Planned Parenthood is on the front lines of America's health care delivery system, providing basic preventive health care to millions of individuals every year through nearly 880 affiliate health centers across the country. Planned Parenthood, like community health centers, is a critical part of the health care safety net.

Clos Badon 1999 in magnum, simply great, with fruit, youthful. I will check if this is due to this Magnum or if the 2 others left are the same !
Bad Girl (2008) which is almost over the stress cause by adding the dosage of liqueur. Looking good for Valentine's day !
Valandraud 1997 in magnum : it keeps its "classical" Bordeaux style, which is not my cup of tea, but, fortunately, many of my friends like that.
Valandraud blanc 2005 : unpleasant phase or end of its life, the great vintages in red are rarely great in white but I remember the forgotten Plantiers Haut Brion 1974 which, more than 10/15 years later was excellent, goes to show...
Valandraud 2000, too bad I don't have any magnums left...
Really good, even if it is not concentrated enough, very elegant, balanced. To drink now.
In addition :
Sassicaïa 2007 , a bit "light"
Pingus 2005 great, a very fine wine
Valandraud 2005 decanted, it holds up, mix of tradition and modernity
Valandraud blanc 2007, always so good
Ruinart blanc de blanc, never disappointed
Trois Marie 2004 served a bit cool, able to wake up the dead, this wine has remarkable energy
And to finish Fine Bordeaux de Valandraud for us to wake up…
