Title: The Half Wolf
Author: Jay Northcote
Publisher: Jaybird Press (self published)
Length: 65,000 words approx
Genre: Paranormal, contemporary/AU, m/m romance, wolf shifters.
Cover Artist: Garrett Leigh
Release Date: Tues 26th of September 2017
Series info: This book is a standalone
Mate, family, pack, home… can Quinn and Kellan have it all?
Quinn grew up feeling out of place in the small town he calls home. Yearning for something he can't name, he's always felt different but never known why.
Kellan is part of a nomadic shifter pack. When they set up camp in the woods near Quinn's town, the humans are unwelcoming and suspicious of the newcomers. The moment Kellan catches sight—and scent—of Quinn, he knows Quinn is special. But for the first time in his life, Kellan can't trust his instincts. Quinn is human, and Kellan is a wolf shifter, so how can they ever be mates?
Their bond is instant and exhilarating. It breaks Quinn's heart to know their relationship can only be temporary. Love isn't enough when pack law forbids shifters to mate with humans. Tension explodes between pack and humans, and when Quinn discovers a shocking truth about himself that changes everything, he fears he'll have to choose between the only life he's ever known and the man he loves.
While I read this book, I kept questioning about 'why didn't Jay Northcote didn't write shifter book before?'. Because damn, you can write shifter real good, man!
And I'm loving everything you wrote, especially the chemistry between Kellan and Quinn since the first time they met.
It's a wolf thing, of course, I was searching for cheesy, but I didn't find it. It's just sweet and adorable, with some twist. I really enjoyed the fast pace, and the 'problem' thing in this book, without being too scary or too sweet.
This one is Jay's debut of MM shifter book, and I want you to write this genre again. I will definitely savor every one of them.
Damn, Jay! You are really good with this one. I can say, beside The Law of Attraction
and Passing Through, this is easily become one of my favorite of Jay's book.
I was blown away.
Highly recommended for shifter lover, I promised you, you need this one in your life.

I have had great experiences at Alter Ego! My last minute need for a hair cut was met with no problem, the wonderful Tania was able to fit me in to her schedule all while meeting my needs too! My cut was fabulous, and when I returned for my color, I was even more impressed! I can\'t get over the massaging chairs, and how friendly the entire staff is!! This is definitely my new salon, and you won\'t catch me going anywhere else! If you are the slightest bit unhappy with your current hair stylist, I\'d definitely recommend giving Alter Ego a try! You won\'t be sorry!!!!!

True, we bookworms like to accumulate our books. They seem to grow and grow, the more we try to read, the more books we have on the shelves waiting to be read. In our house, there are books all over the place. We have books in the living room, in the kitchen, on the corridor, in the bedroom, in the children's rooms, in the office. They are on shelves, in cupboards, in boxes, under the nightstand and the bed, even on the floor next to the shelf.
Where do you keep your books?
That's the (pleasant) life of a bookworm.

A Guide For Cleaning an Oiled Hardwood Floor
Getting Started - Dry Cleaning the Floor
The most basic requirement of cleaning for an oiled floor is to remove the surface dusts, fluff and other small contaminates that accumulate daily on the floor surface.
This is a dry cleaning operation that can easily be achieved using either a vacuum cleaner or a flat mop fitted with a microfiber pad.
The frequency of the task will depend upon the surrounding environment and the floors exposure to it. Areas that get a lot of foot traffic or are adjacent to open doors where dusts or fine grit can easily enter should be dry cleaned several times per week.
The Do's and Dont's of Cleaning Oiled Floors
Having chosen an oiled finish for your hardwood floor you will want to ensure that you are properly equipped to maintain it.
Do - Invest in a decent flat mop system that has a good wringer.
Don't - Use an old mop and bucket that leaves too much water on the floor.
Do - Purchase a cleaning product suitable for use on oiled wood flooring.
Don't - Use any harsh floor cleaning products or ones that polish the floor.
Do - Ensure the vacuum cleaner you use has a suitable floor tool for wood surfaces.
Don't - Just sweep the floor moving the dusts from A to B.
The Benefits of an Oiled Finished Floor
Appearance : An oiled hardwood floor looks warm, the natural characteristics and beauty of the wood can be appreciated as the floor is not sealed by a surface coating of varnish or lacquer.
Feel : The natural grain of the wood can be felt by touch. The oil penetrates the wood and offers good protection to repel soiling while also allowing the wood to breath. This helps with allowing the natural expansion and contraction of the wood without disturbing the surface protection
Damp Cleaning an Oiled Floor
When damp cleaning an oiled floor the secret for a successful job is to avoid using an excessive amount of water.Too much water upon the floor will create problems by seeping into the joints between the boards and causing the unprotected wood to swell.
It will again depend upon how frequently the floor is used and the level of use that determines the frequency of damp cleaning. In an average domestic property with light use the floor could be damp cleaned on a weekly basis to lift off any surface soiling.
Ensure that the Hardwood floor cleaning product chosen is suitable for oiled hardwood floors. Osmo a hard wood flooring supplier have a product called wash and care that is suitable, or you should choose a similar product.
Using a small amount as directed upon the packaging add it to the water and then using your flat mop system lightly wash the floor over, lifting off any surface soiling. Make sure you rinse the flat mop head regularly and ring it out thoroughly to avoid excess water remaining upon the floor surface.
Quick Cleaning Tip
For the best results work in small sections to achieve an effective result. Rinse often and change water and floor care solution as water starts to appear dirty.
If after a period the floor has become heavily soiled either due to high frequency use or lack of ongoing maintenance it can be deep cleaned, usually without the need to sand off the surface.
The first option is to try the damp cleaning method as described in the above paragraph. Allow the floor to dry and repeat the process several times gently removing the soiling in stages.
If that fails to make an impression on the accumulated soiling a more aggressive approach will be required.
The Deep Clean Method
A stronger cleaning product may be required to help break down the soiling. A citrus based product or a product like Osmo liquid wax cleaner based on natural plant waxes should be suitable for the task.
The equipment you will require will either be a rotary cleaning machine which can be hired or a coarser flat mop head designed for deep cleaning. The mechanical option will save on labor and time although the hire costs will have to be factored in to the budget.
Cleaning and Agitation
Either option will work, the main goal here is to use the cleaning agent and the agitation from the flat mop or the floor cleaning machine to loosen the surface soiling.
Once the soiling is loosened it will disperse into the cleaning water . At this point it is very important to extract the solution off or remove it quickly by mop . Do not allow it to lay upon the surface for long otherwise it will dry into the wood grain or find its way into the gaps between the floor boards.
Working in small sections is the best method to ensure that the operation is kept under control.
Once the whole floor area has been cleaned using a deep cleaning method rinse the floor with fresh clean water to remove any remaining residue, then allow the wood to dry thoroughly . Get an online estimate now
Oiled Floor Maintenance
Once the floor is completely dry you will need to check the surface protection. If the intensity of the deep cleaning also removed some of the oil you will need to either apply a maintenance oil or if the floor looks very dry reapply the oil using a brush or rotary floor machine.

NOW I can change a small child out of their minion costume (including a skivvy/turtle neck) and never skip a beat, so to speak. Why the minion customer thing couldn't wait, I don't know. But I kind of dream of the day when I am one day afforded the luxury of having "stage fright" once again.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Renal Care RCI, +0.33% was shedding $1.65, or 4.4 percent, to $35.70 after the dialysis services company reported late Tuesday second-quarter earnings that met consensus analyst expectations, while revenue fell a bit short, according to Reuters Research. Morgan Stanley analyst Gary Lieberman followed by downgrading the stock to "underweight" to "equal weight," citing slower-than-anticipated managed care pricing growth. Lieberman also noted that the stock had surpassed his year-end price target of $36, and that cuts in Medicaid reimbursements would shave 10 to 15 cents a share from 2004 earnings.

Alisona of Tradgardland
In the woods surrounding the Palace, Duke Frederick's daughter Alisona walks by moonlight. Her guards keep a discreet yet protective presence. She walks observing the moon, the passing of the seasons and thinks of the gallant young Gallian she met of recent months. She remembers him fondly and hopes their paths will cross in the weeks and months to come...

When it comes to Amazon, Inc. [NASDAQ:AMZN], there are two types of people: the lovers and the haters. For the lovers, Amazon is their online shopping overlord…for the haters, it's just another hyped-up and overpriced tech stock.
Based on the share price movements for Amazon over the past few weeks, those that hate the retailing giant are out in full force. Technical analysts are currently going bananas over the pattern forming in the Amazon charts, rooting for the US$960-per-share company to fall.
Since Monday last week, US$20 has been shaved off the share price, or 0.84%. That doesn't look like any cause for concern.
However, it's the technical footprint that this falling share price left in the charts that has technical analysts in the US in a tizz. The declining share price has had observers wondering whether a 'head and shoulders' pattern is forming.
A head and shoulders pattern on a chart describes the reversal of a current trend. Most technical analysts believe a head and shoulders pattern is the most reliable indicator that an uptrend is over. In other words, if a head and shoulders pattern forms for a company, it spells the end of a bull run. Worse still, it also suggests that said stock is getting ready to fall much further down.
The pattern can be easy to spot once you know what to look for. A head and shoulder pattern has three key features.
First, a long bull run reaches a peak, and then suddenly pulls back. Then, after the retreat, the share price stages a sharp rally, but ultimately falls again. Often the share price falls to the first point of retreat. The kicker for the head and shoulders pattern, though, is that the share price ekes out a third rally, but the stock runs out of puff when it reaches the first peak once again.
Once this happens, the share price takes a tumble, leaving the head and shoulders pattern in place.
Have a look at the chart below. I have marked out in black lines the head and shoulders pattern exciting Amazon detractors:
Amazon, Inc. daily/yearly chart
Source: Yahoo Finance
[Click to enlarge]
Those cheering for Amazon to fall have been quick to point out that the company's shares are now at a three-month low. Combined with the head and shoulders pattern, this is a clear signal to technical traders that the dream bullish rally for Amazon is over.
Interestingly, some clever observers have taken to Twitter saying that Amazon didn't just make a head and shoulders pattern. Rather, its chart forms a 'witches hat'. See for yourself…
Source: MarketWatch
[Click to enlarge]
The chartist above suggests that, aside from Amazon's share price forming a witch-like shape, if Amazon falls from its current price of US$960, the stock could tumble all the way down to US$825 a share.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Amazon share price pull back. It has had an incredible rally since the start of 2016, gaining 59%. The problem, in my view, is that the stock is very overpriced for now. Amazon shares currently have a price to earnings (P/E) ratio of 181. To put that in perspective, tech juggernaut Apple Inc. [NASDAQ:AAPL] has a P/E ratio of 18. And Wal-Mart Stores Inc. [NYSE:WMT], one of the biggest US retailers, has a similar P/E of 18.
Generally speaking, the higher the PE, the higher the returns investors can expect in the years to come.
Does this technical pattern mean Amazon shares have a much bigger fall coming? Possibly.
Whether you see a head and shoulders pattern or a witches hat, technical analysts are certainly excited that the stock is getting ready to drop.
Aussie oil stocks up
Closer to home, earnings season continues apace. Banks, mining and oil stocks did the heavy lifting for the S&P/ASX 200 yesterday, which rose 24 points.
Oil Search Ltd [ASX:OSH] finished 3.29% higher after announcing it would quadruple its first-half dividend payout. Higher sales revenues and recent cost-cutting have seen a fivefold increase in first-half profits.
Catching investors off-guard, however, was the double whammy of news from BHP Billiton Ltd [ASX:BHP]. The company announced a $7.6 billion underlying profit for the 2017 financial year. This is an incredible 180-degree turnaround from the $6.39 billion loss the company record last year. It was largely due to the $7.7 billion impairment write-downs for the 2016 financial year.
More importantly, however, BHP announced its exit from the US shale oil sector. Back in 2011, the then CEO Marius Kloppers started buying into the shale industry, slowly spending up to $50 billion acquiring assets.
Yet, six years later, BHP has a problem on its hands. The company jumped into the shale industry at its peak, and the move was very unpopular with Aussie shareholders.
Last year, the company finally came out and admitted in a note that the foray into the shale business had not been a good investment.
However, it was the note inside the company's 2017 financials yesterday which confirmed the mining giant is getting out of shale altogether, telling investors:
'We have determined that our onshore US assets are non-core and we are actively pursing options to exit these assets for value. In the meantime, we will complete well trials, acreage swaps and access mid-stream solutions to increase the value, profitability and marketability of our acreage.'
In other words, BHP is admitting that the shale business isn't for them.
The price BHP gets for their shale assets will be worth watching. The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price is currently hovering around US$48 a barrel. BHP bought into the shale sector when the WTI was around US$120 a barrel. In other words, the shale side of the business is worth roughly a third of what BHP paid for it.
The timing to pull out of the US shale industry is interesting to say the least.
Yesterday, I explained that the US shale industry is running on fumes, and that it barely makes any money. In fact, lenient US bankruptcy laws are perhaps the only thing keeping the sector afloat.
My colleague Greg Canavan believes the US shale industry is a nothing more than a mirage. In a new report, Greg says that there is a massive opportunity to invest in oil stocks right now. In fact, as we head into 2018, Greg says that oil is likely to enter a bull market.
He's picked three energy stocks on the ASX that could potentially hit 10-bagger status as this bull market unfolds. Details here.
Kind regards,

White Sox, Sale bid 'bittersweet' goodbye
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- On a wall in Rick Hahn's suburban Chicago home, in the bedroom of one of his two sons, resides a picture featuring his son with Chris Sale. It hangs next to a picture of his son with Mark Buehrle.
So rebuilding a team certainly isn't earning Hahn major dad points.
NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- On a wall in Rick Hahn's suburban Chicago home, in the bedroom of one of his two sons, resides a picture featuring his son with Chris Sale. It hangs next to a picture of his son with Mark Buehrle.
So rebuilding a team certainly isn't earning Hahn major dad points.
Trading away a five-time All-Star and quite possibly the American League's best pitcher to Boston stood as the right thing to do for both the White Sox and Sale, given the direction of the organization. But that doesn't make it any easier for Hahn to give up the face of his franchise.
"It's hard. It's real. He is one of our own. Or was one of our own," said Hahn of Sale. "A homegrown guy who made his way to five All-Star Games and was controllable and projected to be damn good going forward. And it's tough to give that up. At the same time we have to be realistic about where we are."
• Sale expresses appreciation for White Sox fans
Sale praised White Sox fans' support via a text message to MLB.com Tuesday night. He did the same for his White Sox teammates, coaches and the player development staff during a Wednesday morning conference call to introduce the left-hander to the Boston media.
Video: Sale reflects on his seven seasons with the White Sox
His seven years in Chicago, which made him the longest-tenured active White Sox player before the trade, established Sale as one of the franchise's greatest pitchers. It didn't work out exactly as he wanted, as his teams never made the playoffs, but there were still plenty of good moments, beginning with Sale pitching in the Majors out of the bullpen two months after he was drafted 13th overall from Florida Gulf Coast University.
"How many teams would have done what they did? It's hard to say now, but probably not very many," Sale said. "They drafted me in the first round when people had questions. They brought me up to the big leagues really fast, and people probably had questions. They threw me in the rotation, and people clearly had questions. They had my back a lot and they gave me opportunities that not a lot of other people would have given me. I'm very thankful for that.
"It didn't work out. I really wish it did. I have nothing but really good things to take from that, and I appreciate my time with the White Sox, but I'm looking forward to the next chapter."
Describing the situation as bittersweet, Sale went on to talk about the friendships his wife, Brianne, formed with other White Sox players' wives, and the bond his son, Rylan, formed with other players' kids.
"You build a relationship with these guys and they are like family," Sale said. "You are around these guys probably even more during the year than you are around your family. It's tough. But knowing what lies ahead makes it a little bit easier for that transition."
Video: Sale discusses joining Red Sox starting rotation
The same can be said for those in the White Sox organization like director of amateur scouting Nick Hostetler, who watched a fiery young left-hander in the Cape Cod League turn into a perennial Cy Young contender.
"There's always going to be a soft spot in my heart for Chris and what he's done and our ability to identify, sign and develop him," Hostetler said. "It's tough, but at the same time you have to do what's best at the organization. I'm excited for the guys we got. But I'm also excited for Chris."

Wearing dark sunglasses and a black coat, Cheryl excited fans when she made a public outing to the US Embassy in London .
She was all smiles as she posed alongside Miss Great Britain Ursula Carlton on Thursday morning.
Ursula took a photo and captioned it: "Met this lovely lady this morning, the beautiful Cheryl."
The ex- Girls Aloud star was there to get her US work visa approved so she could go to the States to work on her fifth album, set for release next year.
The L'Oreal ambassador met with her label Polydor in May to discuss her plans for a new updated sound and has lots of ideas about how to follow up her previous album from 2014, Only Human.
A source said: "Cheryl's got a longer US visa so she can go back and forth more frequently to the States. She hasn't started working on the new album yet as she is still enjoying her time off with Bear. She's loved their time together as she adjusted to being a mum and is still easing herself back into work.
"But she is looking forward to getting out there and starting recording. She still has ambitions as a singer and will be a working mum."
Cheryl's boyfriend, Liam , 23, has spent most of this year jetting back and forth between LA and London.
The former One Direction star has been launching his solo career and has recorded most of his debut album over in the US while working with Ed Sheeran , Timbaland , Pharrell Williams , as well as Zedd and Quavo.
Although both of them having US visas might mean they see more of each other, it's unlikely the former X Factor judge's album will feature a collaboration with Liam.
When asked if they would ever duet, he said: "Nah, but we laugh about this all over. She'll catch herself singing my songs in the house. She likes my songs. She's my biggest fan.
"I go home and spend time with my family and make sure that I put my phone down, and see my son and spend time with my missus as well. When I come away, we get into it. We have some fun."
And while he's been on the road promoting his solo career, his third single is not due to come out until November, so Liam will take a back seat and can take over babysitting duties while Chez gets back to making the hits this autumn.

Heights Arts reopens gallery with two new shows
After being closed most of the summer for renovations, Heights Arts marks its gallery reopening with a grand public reception on Friday, Sept. 4, 6–9 p.m. for two new exhibitions: Emergent 2015 and Spotlight: Brenda Fuchs.
The first installation of what will be an annual show, Emergent 2015, showcases the finest "local produce" of Northeast Ohio colleges and universities.
"The idea behind the exhibition is to feature artists who graduated from area art programs in recent years and are now producing significant work. In this way, Heights Arts seeks to shine a light on the considerable strengths of studio art programs in this area," noted Greg Donley, Heights Arts board president and gallery committee chair.
During recent decades, Northeast Ohio has produced a steady stream of accomplished visual artists trained at institutions that include the Cleveland Institute of Art, Kent State University, Cleveland State University, the University of Akron, Oberlin College, and other fine studio art programs.
Painting, mixed media, prints, sculpture, site-specific installations, and works in fiber and glass by rising artists Joanne Arnett, Jerry Birchfield, Abbey Blake, Robert Coby, Matthew Gallagher, Clotilde Jiménez, Joshua Maxwell, Bridget McGuire, Joseph Minek, Nicholas Skowron, and Shawn Watrous will be on view through Oct. 17.
An artist talk and reading of original poems by local writers—created in response to the exhibition—is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m.
In addition to Emergent 2015, a new spotlight gallery will be unveiled, with the inaugural installation featuring abstract and figurative paintings by noted Cleveland artist and former Murray Hill gallery owner Brenda Fuchs (1939–2011).
The exhibition gallery is named in honor of the Jean, Harry and Brenda Fuchs Family Foundation, whose gift funded the gallery improvements.
"The renovated space enables us to expand our programming, hold performances in the gallery, and to better define who we are and what we do," explained Rachel Bernstein, Heights Arts executive director.
New programming is scheduled for the month of September, with "Honoring Cleveland Heights Poet Laureates" on Thursday, Sept. 17, stART Street Art collaboration and Music Hop on Sept. 19, and a silk painting demonstration by Susan Skove on Sept. 26. For more information on upcoming arts events, visit www.heightsarts.org or call 216-371-3457.

Bloomingdale's to disrupt neighbors
Editor -- We want to point out an important omission in the story about the Bloomingdale's construction ("Bloomingdale's project begins," Nov. 14). In the accompanying diagram, the building at 833 Market St., next to the construction site, is described as "unaffected by project."
It is true that the actual building will not be affected. But what about the people inside? During the next three years, the employees of the nonprofits and small businesses located in this building will have to deal with the constant sound, dust, vibration and stress caused by construction that will take place only 5 feet from our office windows -- windows that are our only source of ventilation.
In addition, the employers will have to go to considerable unbudgeted expense to protect their employees and accommodate changes in work schedules and locations.
While everyone is celebrating the boom that this project could bring to the city's revenue, at least be aware that at the same time it could possibly bring great financial difficulties to its closest neighbors and considerable disruption to many of us who work next door.

Doctor said IBM work likely cause
Editor -- My husband developed kidney cancer at the age of 36. His only risk factor was his exposure to chemicals while being a copier tech in the field for IBM. Back then, his doctor said this exposure was the most likely cause, but there was not enough evidence to pursue legal action against such a large company.
Luckily, my husband is now a 12-year survivor, but others are not that lucky. Companies should not profit by sickening and killing their employees, I hope you will continue covering this story ("IBM denied danger," Nov. 19) and I hope the evidence is now out there for the injured to collect.

Sensible approach to homelessness
Editor -- David Lazarus has written several lucid columns (Lazarus at Large) on solutions to homelessness over the past several weeks that demonstrate the possibilities rather than focusing on the less than informative political debates that too often surround this issue.
Business sections of major newspapers, with the exception of The Chronicle, rarely cover homelessness, which is too bad -- because it fundamentally affects the business climate in so many cities.
Supportive housing is a cost-effective approach that works. The business community can be instrumental in seeing that San Francisco creates much more of it.

Kaiser takes right approach to care
Editor -- Kaiser chief George Halvorson declares his support for universal health care but says single payer isn't the way to get there ("On the record," Nov. 16). "Care will be rationed, and people will wait in line," he says.
Kaiser, where I worked for 10 years, succeeds because it uses single- payer principles of consolidated financing, administration, purchasing and planning. Kaiser spends 95 percent of each member dollar on health care and 5 percent on administration.
Kaiser members have some of the best health care outcomes in the nation, the most satisfied physicians in the state and a loyal workforce. The rest of the health care system uses market finance principles and spends 70 percent of each dollar on health care and 30 percent on administration, has the worst population health outcomes in the industrial world, frustrates physicians by delaying and denying reimbursement and allowing insurance companies to make medical decisions.
As to those lines and rationing: We ration care now. Those who can afford it, have no pre-existing conditions or are lucky to have an employer who can still afford it, get health insurance. The other 44 million don't. Canada and others ration care based on medical need, a far more ethical approach.
The United States spends 2 to 3 times more per person on health care than Canada or any European nation. If we used single payer, as state Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Santa Monica, proposes in SB921, and got 95 percent of each dollar into health care, there would be no one waiting in line.

Outsourcing hurts customer service
Editor -- I read with interest the article "No smooth sailing for offshoring" (Nov. 16). I believe there is another angle that the article did not hit on that is equally important. America Online is one of those companies that is trying to save a buck or two by outsourcing its technical people overseas.
Here is the result: I have been a member of America Online since near the beginning almost 10 years ago. Although AOL has had its problems, they didn't affect me much, and when you needed technical support, it was usually readily available.
Recently, however, its customer service has been out-sourced to India. About two weeks ago, I upgraded to the new version of AOL, 9.0, and all of a sudden, all e-mail from the Yahoo newsgroups that I subscribe to stopped.
I talked to one of the newsgroup administrators, who theorized that AOL's new spam filters are filtering them out (I am still getting tons of spam, however). So I decided to call AOL to see what I could do about it and found myself talking to someone in India.
Not only was the connection not clear, but the heavy accents and lack of mastery of the English language made it difficult for me to understand them.
The first person I talked to, in technical support, didn't have any idea what I was talking about. She suggested I talk to someone in security and transferred me over. The person in security had no idea what I was talking about and suggested I talk to someone in technical support (where I just was) and transferred me over.
The second person in technical support also had no idea how to help me and suggested that I talk to someone in security (again). When I told him I didn't like being sent in circles, he told me he would take down my information and someone would contact me. It has been a couple weeks now, and no one has contacted me.
I have heard about this trend for big corporations to out-source technical services overseas. I'm sure a help desk in India is cheaper than one in the United States, but what good is it if the service is worthless?
How can something as important as customer service simply be out-sourced to the cheapest country? As a customer I feel completely unimportant to AOL. No wonder it is losing its customer base.
Unfortunately, AOL and other short-sighted companies looking only at the bottom line will not realize this until it is too late.
Profit at HP
came from axing jobs
Editor -- Your glowing report on Hewlett-Packard's profitable fourth quarter ("HP profit up 121% in quarter," Nov. 20) indicates that you buy into the hype about how "this proves that the merger was a wise move."
So, HP's PC division posted a $21 million profit on earnings of $6 billion. Dell posted a profit of $840 million on earnings of $10 billion.
And let us not forget that the "profit" that the enterprise division eked out was due in large part to the sacrifice made by the nearly 3,900 souls whose jobs were axed.
Please don't buy into the "Czarly-speak."

Chapter 3- Storm at the summit
1. The technical jargon used in this text all relates to mountaineering. This jargon hasn't been explained in the text because, the author has a target audience. When writing the book, the author would have set out the exact audience they were aiming to grab their attention from ( gender, age, interests etc.). In this case, people who new enough information about the extent of mountains and the words related to it. This target audience lets the author be able to use technical jargon in the text without having to explain the meaning behind the words, the readers are expected to know what it means. As an author, the expectation would be that if you were to read this book, you must have an interest in the relative events and a bit of knowledge about the main idea the story is based around.
Definition- A route when climbing or descending, going mainly side ways.
Why its important- This vocabulary is important in this part of the text because it describes a type of movement that the two characters do when going up the mountain. It helps create the image of how they are moving and the direction they are going in, helping paint the picture in our mind.
definition- short for " bivouac shelter", improvised shelter usually of a temporary nature.
Why its used- Bivi was used to show the location of the text. It may also give us the idea of how the characters had to improvise a lot when trying to survive.
Frost bitten-
Definition- frost bite occurs when exposed to low temperatures causes freezing of skin and other tissue.
Why its used- This was used to show the seriousness of the situation. It could also be used to show temperature and the climate of the setting.
Definition- a point on a surface that is higher in elevation than all points immediately adjacent to it.
Why its used- This technical jargon could be used to show the setting of the text, and the for-shadowing of upcoming events, as they look up towards the summit, indicating its something they will eventually climb
Definition- A item used when climbing. It requires the use of ropes to provide safety. It secures a person to a rope or an anchor point.
Why its used- This word was used to show one of the main resources the characters had as safety. Its an important piece of equipment that is used a lot in the text, as it is the only way to climb up the mountain
Reaching the Summit of Siula grande- Joe Simpson quote, pg 53
The lines from this text are included because it shows the thoughts and feelings of Joe Simpson as he reached the summit Siula Grande. They reveal a deeper, more intriguing side of the character. Through the chapter, we were able to realise Joe expects high things from himself, and is ashamed of the idea to be afraid of something. This quote adds on to the knowledge of Joes thoughts as it shows how he feels a sense of disappointment, or fear. He was unsettled at the thought of what this feeling of reaching the top makes him feel. Joe states he didn't know if this love for reaching new heights were purely for pleasure, or egotism. Joes thoughts are surprisingly mixed when he reaches the top of the mountain. A usual responce when achieving something this big, would be relief, excitement or a sense of proudness, but this was not the case for Joe Simpson. His thoughts were more jumbled. This shows that joe is a layered man. There is more to him than his love for climbing, and hard working nature. Joes mind is a spiralling ladder of questions, and doubts. The passage listed on pg 53 brings back the idea of " the dangerous men who sleep during the day" that T.E Lawrence refers too at the start of the text. This is because during the quote on pg 53, joe wonders if hes loosing control, if he is leading towards a frightening conclusion. the feeling of achievement when reaching the top, makes you want to achieve more, to reach new heights and try somthing more dangerous. This idea is the affect of the dreamers of the day, the ones who do the extrodanery stuff during the day, making it a reality, and pushing themselves to new limits.

Core Rhythms Latin Dancing Program......I've Tried It.
I ordered the dvd with my mum in an attempt that we both enjoy dance dvds, well she loves them more than I ever will. I will do a dance dvd if it is like Core Rhythms or ballroom dancing/samba class which I am joining soon.
Core Rhythms came in the mail today, so I did The Firm workout earlier and now I decided to go on with my stream of activities. I popped in the quick workout starter dvd instead of the full length starter package dvd.
About the Creators
JAANA KUNITZ and JULIA POWERS are widely known for their success as World Champion Latin Dancers.
And let me say, I love it. So sensual and fun to move with. This is definitely high energy and great. The cool-down done is lovely. You will sweat with this and lose inches around your waist and hips it seems. So much gyrating, I love it.
With the Quick Workout being about 23 minutes long, I burned 153 calories. Amazing! Same amount Id burn doing 20-25 minutes on the stationary bike. But I did it with dancing. Dripping with sweat but feeling great!
I shall continue with this workout trend and get the other dvds. All I have to say is with the moves, If you dont get them right away...they go slow in the intervals then speed it up for calorie burned and shedding inches around the middle section!
You can order it on Amazon for about 11-12 dollars, the starter package which comes with 3 DVDs. The first dvd is like with a partner, for example, get your best friend, boyfriend, fiance, husband, or other family member to come dance. Then the 2nd one is full length dancing and the 3rd is express 20 minutes with 3 minute cooldown. Then when your ready order the rest of dvds. I do recommend amazon because you save a lot of money!
Many people have found success with it and so will I. In addition to my Core Fusion, gym membership, free gym passes, leslie sansone dvds (which Im trying now for the first time), jillian michaels dvds (once in a while ill put it in), and pilates & yoga dvds.
Do it everyday, full length or express. Just do it.

Temat postu: boots for you
Lucas Lima World Cup Jersey
, capital of Central China's Hubei Province, has unveiled new residency, housing and income policies for college graduates, including a minimum income guideline, to woo more talents.
Under the upgraded policy, Wuhan will further ease residency restrictions for college grads. The age requirement will be removed for master's and doctoral grads, and set at under 40 for others. The time limit for employment will be eliminated
Kaka World Cup Jersey
, while restrictions on entrepreneurships, including some administrative procedures, will also be canceled.
The city also debuted an attractive housing policy. The local government will accelerate the real estate industry's supply-side reform and provide more low-income housing for graduates. It aims to "allow more college grads who get employed or start up businesses in Wuhan to buy homes at prices 20 percent lower than market levels or rent homes with rates 20 percent lower than market levels." Construction of a low-income housing project for college grads will begin soon.
Wuhan has taken the lead in setting a minimum annual salary standard for college graduates -- 40,000 yuan ($6,000) for those enrolled in three-year programs, 50,000 yuan for bachelor's
Jonas World Cup Jersey
, 60,000 yuan for master's, and 80,000 yuan for doctoral grads. The overall levels are among the top rankings in China, and also far higher than Wuhan's minimum monthly salary standard of 1,750 yuan.
A spokesperson with the municipal government said Wuhan has rolled out a series of measures to attract talents since the beginning of this year. A program was initiated in January with the ambition to support employment and entrepreneurships of one million college graduates in Wuhan, followed by a policy unveiled in March
Jemerson World Cup Jersey
, which allowed college students to participate in the housing provident fund program to help them settle in the city after graduation.
In April, the residency threshold for college grads was lowered and a housing fund was set up to help with the settlement of talented people in the city. It also aims to provide more than 10,000 entry-level social service jobs to absorb college graduates.
In June, nine measures, covering housing and residency, employment promotion and entrepreneurship support were rolled out. Afterwards, the city conducted further research and made improvements to residency
Hulk World Cup Jersey
, housing and income policies for college grads.
Statistics show that the number of college graduates who had settled in Wuhan by the end of September went up 311 percent compared to the same period last year. Experts expect the new policy to help boost Wuhan's population, optimize demographic structure, and improve the quality of the population.

Pedal through Chiang Mai's old city with a small group on this 4-hour bike tour. See the sights of the city illuminated at night and stop for street food. All equipment provided.
Meet your guide and group of 10 people or fewer inside the old city on the moat road to the east of Chiang Mai Gate. Arrive at 5:45 p.m. for a bike and helmet fitting, then pedal off at 6 p.m., bound for the old city's eastern gate. Stop at Tha Phae, once an entrance to visiting traders, now beautifully restored and a great place to stop for a bit of history.
Cycle on to Wat Intakhin to see the centuries-old white Buddha and the Three Kings Monument, where you will listen to your guide talk about the founding of Chiang Mai. Once you reach the city moat, leave your bikes behind and walk across to Wat Lok Molee to check out the wooden prayer hall, and maybe even hear some chanting monks.
Bike on to the city's most famous monument, the Wat Chedi Luang, home to the City Pillar and three good-luck Dipterocarp trees. The tour's last stop is the night markets of Chiang Mai, where you will sample some street food and sip a drink with your guide. Finish up around 10 p.m.

Danny Rose is likely to stay at Tottenham after talks with Mauricio Pochettino, according to reports.
The England defender looked to be on his way out of the club after he recently gave an explosive interview criticising Spurs' transfer policy and suggesting that he deserved higher wages.
Rose was closely linked with Chelsea and also Manchester United, with Jose Mourinho reportedly assessing his options at left-back, but it appears the 27-year-old is ready to remain in North London.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Pochettino had a long chat with the former Leeds United player at the club's Enfield training base in an effort to smooth things over.
It was said that the Argentinian manager told the defender he is still a vital member of the Spurs squad and a crucial part of his plans going forward.
The Mirror also claim they will reject any bid Chelsea or United could make for him.
Spurs meanwhile, have clinched their first signing of the summer with a club-record £42m deal for Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez.
His arrival is likely to pave the exit of Austrian centre-back Kevin Wimmer, who could join West Brom for around £15m.

As of the writing of this blog, Incident Tracker currently handles Account Management in the following ways.
CLOUD / HOSTED Incident Tracker
Right now in the Cloud, there is only one method for managing accounts. That method is to use the built-in tools to create and manage users. This method is stand-alone and has no direct relationship with any other user database such as Microsoft Active Directory (however user accounts can be exported out of any user database and imported into Incident Tracker, but there is no synchronization between accounts after this process). However, the development team is actively exploring using Microsoft Active Directory Federation Service to allow the Incident Tracker Cloud solution to potentially communicate with a customers Active Directory database. Look for more on this in the coming months.
On-Premise Incident Tracker (customer hosted)
For Customers who lease or purchase Incident Tracker to be run privately on their own hardware and network, there are three account management methods.
The first is the native Incident Tracker account tools that are available in the cloud. Accounts are managed through the tools available in Incident Tracker and have no relationship (other than doing a one-time import) from any other account databases.
The second method is to create an account or group of accounts that synchronize with Microsoft Active Directory. This method requires only that the customer be able to communicate with their LDAP services. In this scenario, users log in to Incident Tracker using their Active Directory credentials.

One of Danny's favourite pop groups is STEPS - he has always wanted to see them perform, but hadn't been able to, as they had disbanded. However, Danny was delighted when he recently heard "the best news ever!" - that STEPS had reformed and announced a tour. He immediately asked if he could see them live.
Kellie, service manager, said "Danny initially had fears around planning this trip; it was going to be tricky to organise, but with the 'can-do' positive attitude of the team at Eastbourne road, and the eagle eyes of Danny's mum, tickets were found to go to the concert at Kew Gardens - which not only had STEPS performing, but a 'Bjorn Again Abba' tribute act, as well as the winner of X Factor. With so many boxes ticked, Danny had to say yes!"
Danny invited Amanda from Eastbourne Road to join him, and when the day of the concert arrived, they set off together with tickets for a long day out. This included a trip to London, and visiting Kew Gardens - where they saw the tropical houses filled with beautiful exotic plants. Afterwards, they enjoyed a fun-filled musical evening with songs that Danny loves.
Throughout the day, Danny and Amanda were supported by the Eastbourne Road team, who ensured that everything ran smoothly and all their needs were attended to.
Kellie said "It was a great day out, with lots of dancing and singing, and a day that Danny and Amanda will remember for a long time!"

Recipes: Brenda Costigan with delicious desserts such as creme brulee and apple strudel
Forget counting calories for once and send your guests to bed purring with contentment, says Brenda Costigan, with delicious desserts such as creme brulee and apple strudel
Having friends in for a meal? Finish on a high note with a wonderful dessert, or two or three! Remember, this is not a time to worry about calories. The occasional treat is never the problem.
Having said that, it is always a good idea to include either a fresh-fruit salad or a simple poached-fruit dish, such as poached plums in port, to show consideration for those friends who can't or don't wish to indulge.
Serve me some variation of a meringue for dessert and I'm yours! Chocolate is another ingredient high on most people's list of favourites. Often it is the tried and trusted recipes that are the most welcome. I can still remember the first time I ate a creme brulee, the delicious contrast of cool smooth custard with the crispy topping is unforgettable. A touch of Austrian elegance can be achieved with a filo-wrapped apple strudel, while a delightful gateau Diane, combines meringue and chocolate. Have your guests go home purring with contentment.
Little pots of creamy baked custard, topped with crunchy 'burnt' sugar. A classic baked creme brulee is smooth and creamy with no air bubbles. A secret teaspoon of cornflour, mixed in with the egg yolks, can help. Serves 4.
You will need:
5 large egg yolks
1 tablespoon caster sugar
650ml (1pt) cream
1 vanilla pod or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caster sugar for the top
Put the egg yolks into a bowl with the caster sugar and mix. Put the cream and the vanilla pod or extract, whichever you are using, into a saucepan over a very gentle heat until bubbles begin to appear all around the edge. Take off the heat, take out the pod and scrape the seeds into the cream. Keep the pod for another use. Add the hot cream to the egg yolks in the bowl, whisking gently to avoid making too many bubbles. Return the mixture to the saucepan and heat gently until the mixture coats the back of the wooden spoon like a thin cream. Do not allow to boil.
Remove from heat and pour into lightly greased ramekin dishes. Leave in the fridge overnight. Hopefully a skin will have formed on top. If not, stand dish in a roasting tin of cold water (to keep the custards cold) and place the lot under a hot grill to make a thin skin. Shortly before serving, sprinkle a thin layer of caster sugar over the top of each and return ramekins under the hot grill to 'burn' the sugar -- don't overdo it, or it becomes bitter.
Ideally, serve while the sugar is hot and yet the custard is still cold underneath,
This is a special-occasion dessert that combines two popular items -- meringue and chocolate. Serves 6.
You will need:
4 large egg whites
225g (8oz) caster sugar
75g (3oz) flaked or finely chopped almonds (optional)
299ml (10fl oz) fresh cream
200g (7oz) dark chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons Baileys (optional)
Chocolate caraque, to decorate (see below)
Mark out three circles, 20cm (8in) in diameter, on three pieces of baking parchment and place these on appropriately sized baking tins. If making for 10-12 servings and using double the ingredients, mark larger 25.5cm (10in) circles. You can always adapt the shape to fit your serving plates. Preheat the oven to 120 C, 250 F, approximately Gas ?.
Whisk the egg whites until frothy. Add the caster sugar a little at a time, beating with each addition. When all the sugar has been added and the mixture sufficiently stiff that the bowl can be turned upside down, it is ready.
Divide the mixture between the three shapes and spread out to fit. Smooth the surface and scatter with the almonds, if you are using them. Bake until crisp and dried-out -- usually about two hours -- but still a pale colour. Cool on a wire tray. These can be made in advance and kept in an airtight container for a week or so.
Prepare the chocolate cream early on the day of serving to give it time to cool. It can be cooled in the fridge, but take care not to let it stiffen too much.
Put the fresh cream into a saucepan and bring just barely to the boil. Take off the heat and add the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until it melts. If necessary, return to the heat for a little extra warmth. When all of the chocolate is melted, stir well and allow to cool until the mixture thickens enough to whip. Whip it lightly, adding the Baileys by degrees, if you are using it.
Place the first layer of meringue on the serving plate and spread the chocolate cream over the top. Add the other two layers of meringue, spreading chocolate cream between them and then over the top. If there is enough chocolate cream to spare, it can also be spread on the sides.
Decorate the top with the chocolate caraque (see below). If preferred, use a crumbled Flake bar.
Chocolate Caraque
The whole bar is required to give you the flexibility to scrape off the chocolate curls/caraque from the flat underside, though there will be plenty of bar left to use in another recipe. The chocolate bar should be at room temperature.
You will need:
200g (7oz) bar dark chocolate
Place the bar of chocolate flat-side up (squares facing down), with the narrow end facing you. Use a sharp knife and hold it at 45 degrees and scrape the surface of the chocolate towards you. A thin layer of chocolate will curl up in little pieces along the way. Repeat until you have enough. A little bit of practice may be required.
This is an apple tart for special occasions. Traditionally made with time-consuming noodle pastry, this version is made with frozen filo pastry. The apple filling is flavoured deliciously with raisins, nuts and cinnamon. Some recipes spread the filling all over the filo and then roll up like a Swiss roll, which results in sections of soggy filo through the apple filling. It is much nicer to wrap the filo all around the outside of the filling so it crisps nicely in the oven. Serves 5-6.
You will need:
3 large cooking apples -- will weigh about 600g (1lb 6oz) when peeled, cored and diced
50g (2oz) raisins or sultanas
50g (2oz) walnuts or pecans, toasted and chopped
50-75g (2-3oz) sugar (white or brown)
1 level tablespoon cornflour
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Finely grated zest of a small orange
Packet frozen filo pastry, thawed
40g (1 1/2oz) melted butter
1/2 tablespoon honey
Toasted flaked almonds or icing sugar, to serve
Whipped cream, to serve
Use a large Swiss roll tin 35.5cm by 23cm (14in by 9in). Turn it upside down so that the strudel can slide off after baking. Preheat the oven to 200 C, 400 F, Gas 6.
To ensure that the apples cook quickly, be sure to cut them in a small dice. Put into a bowl with the raisins or sultanas, the toasted and chopped walnuts or pecans, whichever you are using, the sugar, the cornflour, the cinnamon and the finely grated orange zest, and mix well.
Frozen filo usually comes in 49cm by 26cm (19in by 10in) sheets. You will need about 4? thawed sheets. Place two sheets of filo on a board, overlapping them down the length so that together they measure 49cm by 35.5cm (19in by 14in) wide. Brush melted butter between the layers where they overlap, then over the whole surface. Lay the remaining sheets in 2-3 more layers on top, brushing between each and over the top with melted butter.
Place the filling ingredients in a long pile along the centre of the prepared filo sheets. Leave a margin of 5cm (2in) at each end of the long filling. Also leave a wide margin of about 10cm (4in) each side. Flap up the narrow filo at each end over the filling and then fold over each of the wide margins to cover the filling. Wet the edges with water to stick together. Gently roll over the strudel so the join is underneath. Place on the prepared tin. Brush the top with melted butter.
Bake in the top half of a hot oven for 10 minutes to cook the filo. Then reduce the heat to 190 C, 375 F, Gas 5 and bake until the apples are tender -- about 25-35 minutes. To test, push a skewer through the top.
Slide the strudel gently off the tin on to a serving plate. Allow to cool a little, brush the top with honey and scatter with toasted flaked almonds or dust with icing sugar. Serve with whipped cream.
This tasty filling is made in a jiffy, without any boiling of tins for hours. Inspired by Jamie Oliver's recipe from his 30-Minute Meals cookbook.
For the biscuit base, you will need:
110g (4oz) melted butter
225g (8oz) crushed digestive biscuits
For the filling, you will need:
4 heaped tablespoons golden caster sugar
4 ripe bananas
110ml (4fl oz) semi-skimmed milk
300ml (about 10fl oz) cream
1 tablespoon coffee essence (eg Irel) or Baileys
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Chocolate caraque (see above)
Use a spring-clip tin, 23cm (9in) in diameter. First, open the tin, butter the base and cover it with a very generous piece of baking parchment that sticks out the sides when you reassemble the tin. The butter on the base keeps the parchment in place as you close the tin.
Preheat the oven to 190 C, 375 F, Gas 5. Mix the melted butter into the crushed digestive biscuits and put into the prepared tin. Spread out evenly, pushing the biscuits up the side about 2.5cm (1in). Press firmly in position. Bake in the oven for about 7-10 minutes then allow to cool on wire tray. Leave in the tin and put into the freezer while preparing the filling.
Put the golden caster sugar into a wide, hot pan and shake to spread it evenly -- do not stir. Meanwhile, put two of the ripe bananas, chopped, into a food processor with the semi-skimmed milk and buzz to a smoothie consistency.
Carefully tilt the pan to help dissolve the sugar. Once it is bubbling and golden, take off the heat and pour in the banana mixture, standing well back as it may splutter. Stir so it looks marbled and then pour on top of the biscuit base. Spread it around evenly and allow to cool, putting into the freezer for a few minutes.
In a large bowl, whip the cream until fairly thick without being rigid, and stir in the coffee essence or the Baileys, whichever you are using, to produce a marbled effect.
Thickly slice the remaining two bananas, toss them in lemon juice and spread them over the filling. Pour the whipped cream on top, and scatter the chocolate caraque over everything. Put the tin back into the freezer for half an hour until ready to serve.
To serve, ensure the edges are loosened from the tin with a sharp knife and then gently release the spring-clip sides and lift away. Place on a serving plate and gently slide away the base of the tin -- followed by gently pulling away the parchment.

During my rock-climbing days, spending regular weekends hanging from a rock face in the Llanberris Pass and our evenings taste testing the ales in a pub in Capel Curig, I remember one of my chums teasing our barmaid who was the spitting image of Dylan Thomas's Gossamer Beynon ("O beautiful beautiful Gossamer B"), by telling her in a pseudo Welsh accent "I really love Wales" and when she agreed with a big smile he went on "Yes, honestly, I've watched Moby Dick at least ten times". It gave us all a laugh, probably helped by the local bitter.
Even longer ago, when Nelson was a boy, I was on a cargo boat chugging through the Indian Ocean, miles from anywhere when we came to a shuddering halt when we collided with an enormous Hump-backed whale that had like us been cruising along minding its own business. The collision was hard enough to result in a lot of broken crockery and a cabin boy with a broken arm. The damage to the whale was more serious, probably fatal. We stopped to examine our damage and were treated to a remarkable display as we watched the injured whale which was by then spouting blood and making heart rending bleating noises, as its partner appeared alongside it and appeared to be trying to keep it afloat.
We watched the display for ten minutes or so before it was full ahead both and we continued on our way. The incident did not a lot more than give the crew a talking point on a long and boring journey. I was young enough to be upset by the fate of such a stunning beast.
A couple of years later I was aboard a large passenger liner and made a regular stopover in Capetown and on a run ashore, met up with some of the crew of a Norwegian Whale Factory Ship and over a glass of Tikki Hock ( a local plonk, if I remember correctly a Tikki was South African slang for threepence the cost of this brew), I related my own whaling tale. In the way of shipmates who would otherwise pass in the night I accepted their hospitality and returned with them to their ship for a tot or two. . . . . . .
Talk about the little ship of horrors, it was more like Dante's Inferno as I was treated to a guided tour of the factory ship in full flow. A flow complete with blood, snot and horror that no-one had prepared this delicate seventeen year old for. The floating abattoir was as busy and noisy as any factory as workmen dealt with the huge carcase of a sperm whale with nothing wasted. Men were slicing huge lumps of flesh and blubber with long fletching knives and tossing lumps of it into huge steaming vats. They were slipping and sliding on bloody slime as they carried out their gruesome tasks. The sight and smell and noise of this steaming hell I will not carry on describing but I am sure that you get the picture.
I didn't quite run away screaming, I just ran for the guardrail where I leant over for a 'kit inspection' of everything that I had eaten and drunk that day. I made my excuses and left. Memory locked away in a filing cabinet in a folder marked not required on voyage through life.
Until that was when I read reports in the media that commercial whaling looks set to start up once more after the world had appeared to come to its senses 24 years ago and said goodbye to the bloody slaughter. I thought that we had become more civilised and had outlawed the hunting of great whales for good and allowed these marvellous and complex creatures to roam our ocean depths in peace.
It now appears that the Japanese, Norwegians and Icelanders are about to convince the world's politicians that they should be allowed to return to their barbarous ways in the slaughter of the innocents. I'm not sure that I want to still be around if they get their way. Perhaps I will hang around long enough to add my voice in opposition to try to stop this greedy and unnecessary trade.
My God! I'm beginning to sound like a tree hugger but I assure you that I am not. I just love whales and Wales. At least thanks to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall whom incidentally I read yesterday is now a millionaire, they will no longer have to throw the wrong species back. Oh no that's only fish not the beautiful, nearly inedible mammal, and yes I have tasted it, it was known as snook to us during the war. I can confirm that it tastes far worse than horse. Nuff said!
Call me Ishmael. "There she blows!–there she blows! A hump like a snow-hill! It is Moby Dick!"

Do you want GMOs on your table? (Yuqing Yang)
In 2003, I studied as an exchange student at the University of Hawaii, and I was able to conduct a research project with the help of a biotechnologist at the Hawaii Agricultural Research Center. In the process of interviewing researchers in biotechnology, a manager of a local agricultural corporation, and an exporting professional, I was introduced to the topic of GMOs. The research experience gave birth to my paper Genetically Modified Organisms and Intellectually Property Rights. Three economists James Oehmke, Mywish Maredia and Dave Weatherspoon presented a dynamic model in 2001 pointing out that Europe's policy on prohibiting the consumption of agricultural biotechnology products provides the South with a unique opportunity to engage in biotechnology production and trade. Nevertheless, that the developing countries would become the winner of biotechnology as the model suggested seems to me an overstatement, at least in the short run it is unlikely. The continuing uncertainty over market access for GM products in Europe will reduce the pace worldwide of innovation intended for international markets. The developing countries that are engaged in biotechnology are likely to redirect their efforts towards meeting local needs or even in some cases put restrictions on producing certain varieties.
Back then, my concern was mainly with GM products' leverage in international trade war. GMOs have been considered a blessing for boosting agricultural yields, but, like the chemicals in Safe and the pesticide poisoning in Heroes and Saints, they are also under harsh criticism. When GM papaya was introduced into Hawaii, the biotech industry said it was a solution to the papaya ringspot virus problem. Five years after the planting of GM papaya was approved in Hawaii, scientists found that it is more susceptible to other plant disease as "black spot" fungus. Hawaii farmers thus lost their biggest export markets. In other words, the plantation of GM papaya has not only caused the price drop of local papaya, it may have also posed other environmental issues to local farmers. Then what is your view on GM food? Do you think GM food could be as poisonous as the chemicals? Do you feel comfortable with your table ornamented by GM corn, GM rice and GM papaya?

Look at them.
See the fear in their sugary eyes?
One of their friends has already been snatched and devoured by a wild animal.
They know their hours are numbered.
Today's goal is to get a pair of lightweight slippers made- you know, those little ballerina-type slippers. I found a pattern for them, and have been waiting for it to get warmer enough to wear them. Spring is coming faster than I'm used to, so I better get sewing!
The secondary goal of the day is to work on hand quilting the wonky house quilt I made last fall. It got boxed away in the move, but I pulled it out the other day, stared at it, and have been pondering how to quilt.... last night's insomnia provided an answer. Now I just need to find my quilting hoop...

Gears of War is already in the North American stores for a few days, but Emergence Day is far from over. Major Nelson today announced a free Gears of War gamerpic and theme that will be available on the Marketplace for a limited time.
De content can only be downloaded by Canadian, American and Mexican gamers, since those are the only countries the game has released yet. The 'I played on Emergence Day' gamerpic and theme will dissapear from the Xbox Live Marketplace at 11:59pm PT, so grab them while you can.
Xbox Live also starts celebrating Emergence Day today. Xbox Live Gold members in North America can download exclusive movies, win prizes and participate in various other activities.
Missing out on another Gears thing!!! Us Brits n Europeans better get our own version of these sorta things or its so unfair!!!! We're the guys hangin in the spaceships waiting to be dropped onto the battlefield!!
I was expecting a bit more on 'Emergence Day'. Gamerpics, a theme, and a video from Cliffy B....big whoop.
How about a cool in game downloadable (an arm band for your character models in multi player, new bandana for Marcus etc) to show that you were part of emergence day, and have been playing since day 1.
Game with fame is crap, as are the released 'freebies'. WIth all the talk about microstransactions it would have been a great forethought to have special outfits or in game content available.
Oh well I guess this next generation is all about nickel and diming the gamer.
DUDE! have you played the game? The game itself is worth it. No nickle and diming here at all. as far as the pics and theme. yeah the theme is cool but don't worry europe microsoft well not forget about you, I'm sure. And yes maybe some extra stuff would have been cool but honestly I am completely satisfy with what this game has to offer right now. I qustioned my 360 purchased for a couple of months but now I am a very happy camper. tnx Cliffy B.! GREAT GAME!
