Adobe Sends Creative Suite to the Cloud for Good
Jun 18, 2013 2:07 PM PT
After announcing last month that all of its Creative Suite apps would soon move to the cloud, Adobe on Tuesday made good on its promise and delivered the resulting subscription-based software.
Now included under the umbrella name Creative Cloud, the latest versions of apps including Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro are now available exclusively to Creative Cloud subscribers for prices starting at US$19.99 per month.
As a way to entice users of Adobe's existing software, Adobe is offering discounts of up to 60 percent for CS6 owners during a year-long period, or a 40 percent discount for those on CS3 to CS5.5.
"This could be attractive for the customer, but there will be some initial resistance," said Jagdish Rebello, research director at IHS iSuppli. "We're going to see more of these models, where the software is essentially leased to the customer more than sold."
Adobe did not respond to our request for further details.
A Changing Business Model
Adobe is not the first company to go from selling a product with a potentially high up-front cost to providing it via a yearly subscription model. However, customers haven't always been happy about paying for what they feel they previously had paid for, so it could take a while for this model to become widely accepted.
"This is a sort of a change in the mindset in how software makers are going to market," Rebello told the E-Commerce Times. "Microsoft had a 365 product for enterprise, but consumers are typically used to downloading the software or paying for the CD up front. Microsoft could have done more with the pricing to get customers more interested."
Pricing of course remains the issue, because many customers of the company's older boxed software opted not to update on a regular basis, and thus were content paying for new versions only when necessary. This shift could require a renewal at times when users might not see the need. Thus the benefit is more for Adobe than its customers.
"Adobe's plan makes sense from both a business and technological perspective," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT. "Subscription-based delivery allows the vendor to keep closer tabs on customers and end users, ensures that applications aren't being used outside the parameters of the EULA, and provides a mechanism that makes piracy more difficult and less profitable.
"Since the vast majority of vendors distribute software updates and fixes via the Internet, they have the mechanism and expertise in place to switch over to subscriptions," King told the E-Commerce Times.
'These Customers Are Angry'
The ability to stay continuously updated could appeal to some customers, but for hobbyists it could be more of a burden.
"These customers are angry," said Amy Konary, research vice president for software licensing and provisioning at IDC.
"This approach works really well in situations where customers want the updates and see value in the added functionality," Konary told the E-Commerce Times. "However, the hobbyists are not going to see value for features they don't use. The subscription is for the continuous value, and if you don't see that value then the subscription won't be as appealing."
In fact, "it might even be objectionable if you aren't using it," she said.
Indeed, more than 32,000 consumers have signed an online petition protesting the new model.
'This Is the Future'
While customers might not like the idea of shifting to a subscription model, the fact is that the companies aren't likely to back down given the regular revenue stream and enforcements the model provides.
On the upside, however, cloud-based software could bring consumers the advantage of sharing across multiple devices.
"This is the future as customers have more devices, and it could be more expensive to buy multiple programs for those devices," Rebello suggested. "However, Adobe needs to be a little more aggressive in the pricing to pacify the customers."
It remains to be seen how attractive Adobe's discounts prove, or whether they will be enough to get current customers to move to the cloud. Some may see them as a good deal, but others may opt to keep using the older version and upgrade only when absolutely necessary.
"What customers will make of this is anyone's guess," said Pund-IT's King. "Since the vast majority of consumers and businesses have access to high-speed bandwidth, downloading large files isn't the hassle it once was."
Adobe's customer base is also smaller and more homogeneous than Microsoft's is, "so it may have an easier time selling the subscription idea, especially if it adds some 'sugar' in the form of additional services and other features," King added. "I expect Adobe will emphasize that subscriptions ensure that customers will benefit from using the latest/greatest official software rather than out-of-date or fake versions."
'We Will See More of This'
Of course, Adobe isn't actually giving consumers a choice -- at least not beyond staying behind with older software. Microsoft, on the other hand, has opted to provide a perpetual license as well as a subscription model.
Still, that doesn't mean other companies won't try to replicate the Adobe strategy.
"We will see more of this," predicted IDC's Konary.
Judging by the way Adobe is pushing customers in a single direction, she concluded, "they must understand that there are certain customers that aren't seeing this is a better deal."

Whatever I feel like talking about.
The other difficulty is political. Many large cities have regulations of one sort or another to control cabs and cab drivers; these would almost certainly prohibit jitney transit. Changes in such regulations would be opposed by bus drivers, cab drivers, and cab companies. Local politicians might be skeptical of the value of a mass transit system whose construction failed to siphon billions of dollars through their hands.

- ATP Tour
Murray rethinks grand slam focus
Andy Murray plans to rein in his focus on the grand slams in a bid to improve his results on the ATP Tour in the hope that success at the major tournaments will follow.
Murray has reached the final of the last three grand slams - beating Novak Djokovic, his conqueror in Melbourne on Sunday, to win the US Open after losing to Roger Federer at Wimbledon - and claimed Olympic gold at London 2012, but won just one ATP title last season.
And the world No. 3, back in the United States for a training camp at his Florida base before heading to California for the start of the spring hard court season, believes the key to his success lies in setting more immediate goals.
"My next goal is to try and play good tennis in Indian Wells and Miami," Murray told the Daily Mirror. "I've realised in the last year or so that when I set myself short-term goals, I tend to play better tennis.
"Previously after every slam, I would look way ahead to the next one and kind of take my eye off the ball with the other events.
"So that's the immediate goal and I will also think slightly less about the French Open.
"It's a tournament I'm capable of doing well in but for me it takes a lot of practice, a lot of hours on clay to get used to it. So that's a goal for me, but I've got to do well in the next few months."
The Scot was philosophical about the manner of his Australian Open final defeat by Djokovic, promising to learn from the experience.
"I will have a think about why I didn't create as many chances on his return as I've done in the past," added Murray. "But the way I was striking the ball was fine.
"My tactics were right, I just didn't give myself enough opportunities on his serve."

What follows is the first entry in the "Behind Enemy Lines" portion of the "Embrace the Hate" competition. It comes to us via @concretefluff, and you can read the original post at her blog "WindaTurd." If you have a "Behind Enemy Lines" story you'd be interested in sharing with us, please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com – you could win Canucks swag and a one hundred dollar donation in your name to the Canucks for Kids Fund. What follows is Victoria's rather epic story of how she's decided, not just to Embrace the Hate, but to commit to it for life!:
Embrace the Hate Entry by Victoria (@ConcreteFluff):
I often tell people I am in a "mixed marriage" because in my eyes I am. Of course when they see my husband – blonde hair, blue eyes, Caucasian – and they look at me (brown hair, green eyed, Caucasian) they think I'm a mental moron. But as far as I am concerned when one person loves one hockey franchise and the other person loves the other – THAT is a form of a mixed marriage.
Simply put, my husband is a life-long Montreal Canadiens supporter. I am a die-hard Vancouver Canucks supporter. As if this wasn't enough of a hurdle, my husband is also a hardcore, full-on Canucks HATER. He despises them. Need proof? This die-hard, life-long Canadiens supporter actually started cheering for the Boston Bruins during the Stanley Cup Final. Something he fully admits he would have never considered if they were playing anyone other than the Canucks. He hates my team THAT much.
So I have to embrace the Canucks hate every day. I live (and love) behind enemy lines. I know you're probably already asking yourself why on earth I ever dated him, let alone married him. Well, for one thing he's unbelievably cute. For another thing he is a snarky French Canadian (my weak spot) and well, he's good to me. Despite fully and completely hating the Canucks, he bought me 1 ticket to Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals because he knew it would be a dream come true for me. And it was. Especially when my favorite Canuck, Maxim Lapierre (snarky French Canadian) scored the game winning goal! I proudly took the local newspaper's full page picture of the goal celebration and hung it on our kitchen wall. Since that day my husband has hung a full page photo from the same local paper of Salo and Torres weeping after the Game 7 loss right next to my photo.
We'd decided – long before the Stanley Cup Finals – that we would be married in October 2011 in Maine. No not Mayne Island, BC. The U.S. State of Maine. Part of New England AKA Bruins Country. I spent my summers there growing up and it's really rather quite lovely – well accept for all the yellow and gold. We were flying in and out of Boston Logan airport and having a mini honeymoon in Boston after the wedding. All of this would have been great if we'd won the Cup. But we didn't.
My photographer finished all his email correspondence with Go Bruins! The reception venue had a Bruins Championship hat in a Plexiglas case on the bar. It was shaping up to be hell for a Canucks fan. And as if that wasn't enough, my husband, being the snarky French Canadian that he is, wore a Bruins Champions T-shirt to our wedding rehearsal. I had hoped to get dressed up for it, but in retaliation had to wear jeans and my Kevin Bieksa Canucks T.
The night before my wedding my future husband stayed at a hotel (can't see the bride!) and I couldn't sleep at all. Finally at 5am I got up and went for a walk on the beach. When I came back I noticed something sticking out from under my pillow. It was the Sports Section of the Boston Herald dated October 7, 2011 and it consisted of a 5-page picture spread of the entire Bruins team raising the Stanley Cup banner, showing off their rings, holding Lord Stanley, etc. Written across the front "Have a Great Wedding, Love Zdeno Chara" (forged of course). Yes that's right. The night before my wedding I had accidentally slept with the entire Boston Bruins team – thanks to my future husband. Well at least that explains the nausea all night long.
But what my unsuspecting future husband didn't know was that this bride had some very distinct pre-ceremony picture ideas. When the photographer came to shoot me at the house I put one of my Canucks T-shirts over my wedding dress and demanded he shoot me in it. The neighbors, or as they are called in Bruins Country "naybahs", watching from their porches all shuddered as I walked out of the house. My photographer laughed (in that 'you're a nut job' sort of way).
Luckily my husband didn't see the photos until AFTER he said I do or he might have reconsidered. But he'd already said our vows which included "accepting each other's differences, including hockey teams' so there was no going back. He's stuck with this proud, maybe a little crazy, Canucks fan. And I will gladly spend the rest of my life trying to change his mind about a team I feel has heart, integrity, spirit, determination… and also a little French Canadian snark (I'm looking at you Maxim Lapierre).
Side note: I also wore nothing but Canucks T shirts for the entire 3 days we were in Boston. Everyday someone made a comment. Here are the Top 5:
- On the plane SEA to BOS, girl in a Bruins shirt looked at me & turned to her boyfriend: "Did you see her? Barf."
- Hotel Concierge: "The Canucks? Interesting choice."
- A tour guide: "You know you lost right?"
- Harvard bookstore employee when we asked for a map: "Let me find one. In the meantime, there's Bruins merchandise you can buy over there."
- An Alaska Airlines employee at Boston Logan: "You guys deserved to win. I hate the Bruins."
That's great stuff. Big thanks to Victoria for sharing her unique experience and the photos of her Canucks wedding dress with us. You can follow her on twitter here.

Delhi Daredevils have made a swap with the Pune Warriors India, exchanging Ross Taylor for Ashish Nehra in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) Players Trading Window.
The Delhi-based franchise had acquired Taylor, the former New Zealand captain, from his previous team, Rajasthan Royals, ahead of the 2012 season.
The Pune franchise will be Taylor's fourth IPL team - he represented Royal Challengers Bangalore in the first three IPL seasons, before playing a season each for Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Daredevils, respectively.
"We are elated to have a batsman like Ross Taylor in our ranks. He will add muscle, panache and of course, experience, to our middle order in the forthcoming season," said Sushanto Roy, managing director, Sahara Adventure Sports Ltd.
Ashish Nehra, the India speedster, was part of the Delhi Daredevils squad in the 2009 and 2010 seasons. His best IPL performance was in 2009, when he took 19 wickets from 13 matches for DD.
Nehra had earlier represented Mumbai Indians in the inaugural season in 2008. He was bought by Pune Warriors India in the 2011 Player Auction, but missed the 2011 season due to injury.
"Ashish Nehra will constitute an integral part of our bowling attack in the 2013 season. We were the best team at the league stage in 2012, and with a player like him around, we are confident that we will go the distance," T.A Sekar, head (cricket), GMR Sports, said.
The only other player transfer to have taken place this season is that of T. Suman from Mumbai Indians to Pune Warriors India.

The Quakes entered their game on Friday tied for playing the fewest extra-inning games in the league, and with Friday's win improved to 3-1 on the season, including 2-0 at home. They have won their last three extra-inning games since dropping one in the second game of the year at the 66ers. Lancaster (28-43 overall, 0-2 second half) was the last team in the league to lose an extra-inning game this season, dropping to 4-1.
Trailing 3-2 in the seventh, the Quakes tied the score without a hit. Anthony Jackson led off with a walk, went to second on a groundout and took third on a passed ball. Songco struck out for the second out. J.T. Wise struck out as well, but the pitch was wild and Jackson scored the tying run. Wise homered in the third inning and Songco had an RBI single in the first for the Quakes' other runs. Jordan Roberts (4-1) got the win with an inning of relief.
The Sixers played another long game, but unlike Thursday's 11-inning game, this one only lasted nine innings but went 3 hours, 22 minutes. Starter Manuel Flores (7-4) gave up runs in each of the first five innings (and six runs overall) and the Sixers lost to Lake Elsinore, 8-4. Kole Calhoun, Dwayne Bailey and Steven Irvine had two hits apiece for the Sixers.

Young at Heart – Mark Langill
Happy 91st birthday today to Herb Lewis, a Pacific Palisades resident who remains one of the oldest active baseball players in the country. The former jewelery executive began attending the Dodger Adult Camp in Vero Beach, FL in 1989 and will be attending his 20th camp in November. Lewis also plays with the Dodgertown West League of alumni campers on Sundays in the City of Commerce.
Lewis grew up in the Philadelphia area and recalls as a boy attending both Athletics and Phillies games. He watched Babe Ruth in the later years of his Yankees' career at Shibe Park when the Bronx Bombers met Connie Mack's defending 1931 World Championship team. Lewis often dodged cars while chasing home-run baseballs which sailed over the wall at Baker Bowl, the home of the Phillies, and resold them to neighborhood kids for a dime, which later served as his admission to the movie theater. "A lot of people I play against can't believe it when people tell them how old the second baseman is," Lewis says. "But to me, age is just a number."

Way to go Herb! Can you start at second for the Blue tonight?
Great story. Keep it up Herb. You and baseball help us all stay younger.
People like Herb continue to remind us why Baseball is the greatest game in the world. My dream is to do a Dodger Fantasy camp just like Herb !!
Wow. Talk about being healthy.
Herb is great. Keep it up as long as you can and you'll never get old!
Happy Birthday, Herbie. For those of you who don't know him, he won't take a pinch runner…ever!!!
I had the good fortune to attend Dodger fantasy camp some years ago and played against Herb. He was 81 at the time and he hit a little single up the middle that drove in what turned out to be the winning run. I was playing second base and as soon as he hit the ball, I knew it was going through for a base hit. Way to go Herb!
I am trying to get in touch with mark langill, I am henry d langill's daughter.
thank you

The Sudanese Are A Historical People With Long Past
The late John Garang
[Lessons From The Archives: 2004 Speech by Dr. John Garang]
The following remarks remarks are excerpted from a speech by the John Garang, the leader of the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement/Army, available on YouTube. The nationalist and Guerrilla leader earned a master's degree in agricultural economics and a PhD from Iowa State University.
We as Sudanese have a concrete anchor. We have an anchor in history......
We go back a long ways. And sometimes it is necessary to go back in order to go forward. And we need to make this exercise in the Sudan so that we can find out bearings. Because if you don't have a past then you cannot possibly have a future....
We did not fall from the sky. We have been here all along. There is also a series of books 'The General History of Africa,' by UNESCO, volumes One to Seven. Volume Two covers the Nile valley and the Horn of Africa. I recommend that you read -- you acquire and read this book.
It is by UNESCO and is authoritative. It has lots of research. I also recommend that you read a lot about ancient Egypt which is very much interconnected with the Sudan. We have a long history.
Peoples and kingdoms have lived, thrived and disappeared in the geographical area now that constitute the present Sudan. Yet and despite all this wealth of historical evidence, the present and previous rulers in Khartoum present a false picture of our country. As if the Sudan started with them.
And is if the history and reality of the Sudan consists only of specific parameters -- Arabism and Islamism. We are much bigger that than that.Our contention in the SPLM is that the Sudan belongs to all the peoples that now inhabit the country . And its history, its diversity and richness, is the common heritage of all the Sudanese people.
It is important to establish this firm anchor in history. And to affirm that the Sudan, and that we the Sudanese are a historical people. And let no one push you off the rails of history.

Country star Keith Urban recruited his actress wife Nicole Kidman to sing back-up on his new song "Female."
The singer debuted the tune onstage at Wednesday's Country Music Association Awards in Nashville, Tennessee, and he's now confirmed the Oscar winner contributed to the background vocals for the track, which also features song co-writer, Nicolle Galyon.
"I thought it was nice and very personal to blend these girls into the song," Urban shared, "because it just felt very right for what the song means to me."
Galyon penned Female with Shane McAnally, and Ross Copperman in early October, when they were inspired by the sexual misconduct scandal surrounding disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.
Speaking at the BMI Country Awards on Tuesday, Copperman explained, "We're in a room and we're like, 'What can we do about this?' And that's the one thing we can do, is write songs."
However, before the track's live premiere at the CMA Awards, Urban admitted he was unaware of the original motivation behind Female, and simply viewed it as a beautiful, empowering piece of music.
"When I heard the song I knew nothing about its back story, and I don't think that is needed for the song," Keith explained to U.S. breakfast show Good Morning America. "The song for me was far more celebratory than anything else, so that's what really moved me."
Nicole's presence on the tune is fitting as the "Moulin Rouge" star previously voiced her support for victims of sexual assault and harassment in light of the Weinstein allegations.
"As I've stated before publicly, I support and applaud all women and these women who speak out against any abuse and misuse of power - be it domestic violence or sexual harassment in the workforce," Nicole shared in a statement issued to People.com. "We need to eradicate this behaviour."

Photo Note : So, even though I got a new fancy lens for my birthday, I forgot to have it with me most of the weekend - sorry!! I think after vacation I was sooo photoed out. But, I am sharing my phone photos that I posted on instagram mixed with some of my 'real' photos from my birthday dinner.
On Saturday (my actual birthday), Mike and I got to sleep in (a real gift these days!), made biscuits and gravy (talk about a comfort food weekend...) and I lounged on the couch and drank coffee with the fire roaring. What a glamorous life I lead! Isn't it funny how you good it feels to indulge in the simplest things sometimes?
When Emma got home from her sleepover we took her sledding - my birthday seems to always be either sun or snow. Did I mention that we have a 1ft+ of snow? It greeted us when we got home from vacation last week. She was so-so about sledding and the snow in general, but loved to be pulled in the little tot sled we borrowed from our neighbors.
(instagram photo)
Mike and I enjoyed a late night dinner at home after Emma went to bed - seared filets with a reduced wine and mushroom sauce and truffle mashed potatoes. Mike said, "I love that you can go in the kitchen and just whip this up in 20 minutes without even going to the store." Exactly.
(instagram photo)
We finished the weekend with a good ole Sunday night family supper at our house - Braised Pot Roast, Chive and Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes, Orange Braised Carrots and Parsnips, and "homemade" bread (my favorite - frozen rhodes bread dough). Everyone repeatedly asked me if I'd rather go out for my birthday dinner, but there is nothing I like better than to cook for everyone at my house.
Braised Pot Roast
3-4 pound Chuck Roast
2 teaspoons of sea salt
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons of black pepper
1 yellow onion, quartered
2 cups of beef broth
2 tablespoons of liquid smoke
2 tablespoons of worcestershire
2 teaspoons of onion powder
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
Coat the roast with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large dutch oven, sear the roast on both sides for about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the meat from the pot and sear the onions for 3-4 minutes. Add beef broth and stir the pan with a wooden spoon, releasing all of the brown bits. Whisk in the liquid smoke, worcestershire, onion powder and garlic powder. Add the roast back in to the pot. Cover and cook in the oven at 200 degrees for 8 hours (or more).
Remove the meat from the pot and place it a shallow serving platter (or baking dish) covering it with foil. Put the pot on the stove-top and boil the sauce for 15 minutes until it reduces and thickens slightly. Pour over the roast and serve.
The onions searing... love my Staub!
After the roast had cooked for 8 hours, I turned the oven off and let it sit in the oven with the bread that was rising. The warm oven was the perfect spot for the bread.
Here is my "homemade" bread... made from store-bought frozen bread dough.
Chive and Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes served in a pie dish, one of my favorite ways to serve things - I think they are sooo under utilized as serving pieces.
Orange Braised Carrots and Parsnips - a favorite from my Month with The Barefoot Contessa (featured at the dinner party).

The recent arrest of Cowboys defensive tackle Jay Ratliff on drunk driving charges have led to calls for his departure from the team for getting arrested so soon after Cowboys linebacker Jerry Brown died as a result of defensive tackle Josh Brent driving drunk.
If Ratliff is going to be shown the door, it's news to coach Jason Garrett. Speaking to reporters at a press conference in Indianapolis Friday, Garrett said he "absolutely" expects to have Ratliff on the roster for the 2013 season. The Cowboys met with MADD for a "very educational" meeting last week, but they have been mainly quiet about Ratliff's arrest since a statement shortly after the incident.
Teams are technically barred from handing out punishments like fines or suspensions for players who have violated the personal conduct or substance abuce policies, but they are free to release the player. If the Cowboys did drop Ratliff, they'd realize about $1 million in salary cap savings for the 2013 season.
For now, though, that doesn't seem to be on the team's to-do list.

text: Hedge to Cut Energy Costs January 8, 2013 09:27 PM Tweet Farmers who negotiate fuel price discounts are able to reduce fuel costs by at least 5%, reports USDA's Economic Research Service. This is significant, as fertilizer and fuel costs average 12% of production costs across all U.S. farms. © Darrell Smith TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ed Clark Top Producer Business and Issues Editor Email Winter's the time to lock in cheaper diesel Some inputs are on the rise, but when it comes to allimportant energy, prices are actually below year-ago levels and the price outlook for producers in 2013 is a buoyant one. Some experts question, however, just how much farm energy you should buy ahead, and in the case of propane, whether you should forward buy at all, given the supply/demand/price outlook. For David Weitz, however, it's not only about slashing prices. It's also about locking in another cost, so he can become more perfectly hedged: crop prices against all inputs. In this way, he can take one more highly volatile variable off the table. "Two years ago when we began hedging, we beat our budget by 35¢ through hedging diesel," the Pullman, Wash., wheat grower says. "That's the equivalent of one fulltime salary for us." This past year, hedging diesel contracts through his co-op rewarded him slightly less, but it was still positive relative to the spot market. It's OK, however, if he doesn't beat the spot market every year. "The more 'X' factors you can remove from your budget, the better. It's no longer a floating expense," Weitz says. Another advantage: He can store only 20% of his annual fuel needs, but through hedging he can lock in fuel without taking delivery. The more 'X' factors you can remove from your budget, the better. "It's just like marketing crops," Weitz says, dealing with energy futures and basis. His co-op hedges futures on a New York exchange and a basis through a national cooperative, then offers contracts to growers so it is hedged. As diesel fuel represents 7% of Weitz' costs, knowing its cost offers dividends. That reflects a USDA study which found that from 2005 to 2008, expenses from direct energy use averaged 6.7%. Corn and rice have the highest per acre energy costs. Soybeans have the lowest. Price Advantage. Roger Riggers, a wheat grower in Craigmont, Idaho, has been hedging diesel contracts through his co-op for nearly a decade and it's put money in his pocket. He first started locking in contracts because of fuel shortages. "Then it became a price advantage," he says. "I got better deals than buying fuel weekly or daily." Not having sufficient storage, he takes a load from his co-op to his farm daily. Overall, he's in the positive, saving 15% to 25% off spot prices. It doesn't work that way every year. Some years he's saved $1/gal. through hedging, other years not nearly as much. Riggers likes to have his seasonal needs booked by February-March, depending on how heating oil use and thus prices—which correlate well with diesel—are fluctuating on the East Coast. In most years, farm energy costs—both diesel and propane—are the lowest in the winter and see a spike in the spring, says Justin Fuller, director of refined fuels and pricing, CHS Inc. Fall, however, is typically when the greatest spike occurs. "We expect to continue to see that this year," Fuller says. "Winter is generally the time to buy as much as you have storage for." That, barring any negative Middle East news of war or conflict that causes prices to spike, is virtually impossible to predict by even the most astute energy expert. Prices are regional, too. In western North Dakota, in the heart of the energy boom, energy prices are sky-high, and that gets passed on to farmers. Stock Up on Propane. With natural gas so cheap, an incentive exists to stock up on as much 2013 propane as you have room for, but buying hand-to-mouth for diesel seems to make the most sense through spring right now, says Doug Tiffany, an economist at the University of Minnesota who specializes in farm energy issues. "Propane and diesel have been moving in different directions," he notes. The stocks of distillates are high, he says; furthermore, the price of crude oil has softened. Also weighing on the diesel price is the sluggish world economy, Tiffany states. Natural gas supplies, meanwhile, are extraordinarily high, particularly in the U.S., as more oil fields are developed, but Tiffany doesn't see prices getting any cheaper. If anything, he says, he sees them getting more expensive as we move through 2013. As a result, he thinks locking in this year's needs early on makes the most sense. Moreover, if natural gas remains cheap, it may be used to make diesel, which could increase its cost. What's the official outlook? All around good news for farmers. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects domestic crude oil production to increase in 2013 to the highest levels since 1993. Natural gas is expected to increase, from 2012's price of $2.77 per million BTUs to $3.49 per million BTUs in 2013. In 2011, it was $4 per million BTUs. EIA expects that on-highway diesel fuelretail prices will average $4/gal. in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $3.83/gal. during 2013. Back to news

Hi, I know this is probably an old subject but I can't find the answer so far. I have what I believe to be a female peahen but the other day [she is one yr old] she fanned her tail and did a little short dance like a male would. Is this proof she is a male or just something females do sometimes?
Thanking you in advance for any input.
Your grumpy old moderator is happy to find a post that actually belongs here
Peacocks, peahens and sometimes tiny fuzzy peachicks will display. This is usually to claim territory or to say who is boss. Sometimes a startled bird will flash its tail at whatever seemed dangerous. I have a lovely black shoulder spalding female that was hatched last summer and hand raised due to rejection by her mother. If I just kick near her she will be happy to spar with me alternately flashing her fan and leaping up to perform a double front snap kick for this retired Tae Kwon Do instructor.
Just look at the photos at the top of this forum and find a peahen and a juvenile with tailfan open
Thank you for that reply. I was sure she is a "she" and now I know for positive. She only did it once and she was being "wild" Her husband does it a lot though.
Only one yr old and looking good and doing great! Can't wait for eggs.
Thanks for this forum, wish it were more active, don't you?
You are welcome
Yes and no. I wish that more people with sincere interest in peafowl would find and use this forum BUT wish that sellers of sports jerseys, shoes, jewelry and video games had never found this forum That is how the "friendly poultry orthopedist" morphed into the "GRUMPY OLD MODERATOR"
EGGS?......Peahens--some of them--drop eggs from perches to cement floors
Some never get around to incubating so that wise peafowl breeding people own good incubating chickens or buy expensive incubators (and some of those are not worth having. I was introduced to the wild world of peafowl in 1988 when a man on the other side of town asked Mother if her chickens could incubate his peahen eggs. Mother died in 2001 but most of my tiny flock of hens are direct descendants of those first hens. Please note: some breeds of modern laying hens will NEVER set because they have been bred for egg production.
I do have two peahens that have hatched and raised peachicks.

Sebastian played by Samuel Barnett
Twelfth Night (2012)
Written by: William Shakespeare
Samuel Barnett plays Sebastian in Twelfth Night, following his role of Elizabeth in Richard III. These plays are both Original Practices productions with an all male cast.
latest updates
"Very gratifyingly people have said that Viola and Sebastian do look alike." In his final interview, Samuel talks about the thrill of the first night and the great audience responses; particularly fooling them into thinking he and Johnny Flynn (Viola) are the same person! Samuel also looks ahead to the Apollo and the timeliness of performing Twelfth Night over Christmas.
"Tech Week at the Globe is far easier than Tech Week at any other theatre I've been at." In the middle of his dress rehearsal and in full costume, Sam discusses teching for Twelfth Night and how he is feeling pre-performance.
Samuel talks in detail about voice, movement and text work he has done for his character. In text, he has discovered that knowing what your character is saying at all times is vital and can "make or break a speech".
"Tim doesn't direct us in the way that I've ever been directed before." Samuel talks about rehearsals so far with the director Tim Carroll. This week they have been working on the final scene and the challenge of having all the characters on stage at the same time.
"Never done Shakespeare. Never been at the Globe." Samuel talks about the challenge of coming to the Globe and performing Shakespeare for the first time.

Many announcements have been made today by Larry Ellison, during his opening of Oracle OpenWorld. To begin with, Americas Cup is still running, as Oracle won today's races. I must admit that seeing those boats racing at such a speed and crossing each other at few meters was really impressive. On OpenWorld side, it was also very impressive. More people this year are attending the event : 60 000 ! And in terms of big numbers, we saw very impressive results of the new features and products that have been announced today by Larry: Database 12c in-memory option, M6-32 Big Memory Machine, M6-32 SuperCluster and Oracle Database Backup, Logging, Recovery Appliance (yes, I am not joking, that's its real product name !).
Database 12c in-memory option: both row and column in-memory formats for same data/table
This new option will benefit all your existing applications unchanged. We are leveraging the memory to store both formats at the same time. This enable us to drop all the indexes that are usually necessary to process queries, for a design target of x100 improvement on performance for real-time analytic. As you will see later, we can achieve even more, especially if we are running on an M6-32 Big Memory Machine. At the same time the goal was also to improve transactions x2 !
The nice thing of this option is that it will benefit to all your existing applications running on top of Oracle Database 12c: no change required.
On stage, Juan Loaiza, did a small demonstration of this new option on a 3 billions row database, representing wikipedia research query. On a regular database, without this option, after identifying (or guessing) the query that will most likely be used by users, you put in place appropriate indexes (from 10 to 20 indexes), then you can run you query with acceptable performance, in this case: 2005 Million Rows Scanned / Sec instead of 5 Million Rows Scanned / Sec. Not too bad... Now if we replace the indexes required by the new Column formats store in-memory, we achieved in this case: 7151 Million Rows Scanned / Sec ! Something people looking into Big Data, and real-time decisions, will surely have a look at it.
The second announcement was a new processor, and a new system associated with it: the M6 chip and the M6-32 Big Memory Machine... available now !
M6-32 Big Memory Machine: Terabyte Scale Computing
This system is compatible with the previous generation of M5 chips, protecting existing investment, and can host as well the new M6 12x cores, 96 threads processor. All in this system is about Terabytes : up to 32 TB of memory, 3 Terabytes/sec of system bandwidth, 1.4 Terabytes/sec of memory bandwidth, 1 Terabyte per second of I/O bandwidth !
This new machine is also the compute node of the new M6-32 SuperCluster announced also today.
M6-32 SuperCluster: In-Memory Database & Application System
That's our fastest Database Machine, with big memory for Column store and integrated Exadata Storage ! Juan Loaiza did also the same demonstration of the wikipedia search on this system... but not with 3 billions rows, but 218 billions rows ! The result speaks by itself: 341 072 Million Rows Scanned / Sec !
With all those critical systems hosting such amount of Data, it is also very important to provide a powerful Database Backup and Restore Solution... And that's all the latest Appliance announced today is about.
Oracle Database Backup, Logging, Recovery Appliance
By just reading its name you get nearly all the capabilities this new appliance will provide to you. First, it is specialized to backup Oracle Database of ALL your systems running an Oracle Database (Engineered Systems, like the lastest M6-32 SuperCluster or Exadata, as well as your regular servers). Second, it also captures all your Database logs. So not only do you have a backup but also the deltas between now and your latest backup. This is allowing you to come back at the point you want when recovering your database.
It can even be coupled with our new Database Backup service on Oracle Public Cloud, for an extra secure copy.
With this new appliance you can now be confident in securing your Oracle Database data.
Building your future datacenter
Today, not only did we see the new Oracle Database 12c enabling to work on memory for all you application, we also saw the associated M6-32 server and associated Engineered Systems M6-32 SuperCluster to run the stack with Big Memory capacity... all being secured by Oracle Database backup, Logging, Recovery Appliance. All of those innovations contributing to build your Datacenter of the future, where all is engineered to work together at the factory.

Speaking of bolting, I'm just a little over a month away from having the four kids head back to school. They know it's almost time for it, too. We're at peak laissez-faire mode at our house. Any semblance of a bedtime has been completely shot to hell.

PopCap secures $22.5 million investment
PopCap Games has secured an investment of $22.5 million. The round of funding is the first in PopCap's ten-year history, and was led by late-stage investment firm Meritech Capital Partners.
PopCap, which now boasts a headcount of over 240 full-time employees, remains one of the world's most successful casual games companies, which has enjoyed consistent profitability thanks largely to the immense success of both the Peggle and Bejeweled series. PopCap, which made it's name with online gaming, is now embracing retail releases, most recently bringing Plants Vs. Zombies to stores' shelves.
Meritech was joined in the funding by longtime technology industry investors Larry Bowman and John McCaw.
"We're excited to have additional working capital that lets us be more aggressive with our expansion into social media and reaching new geographies," said David Roberts, CEO of PopCap. "Meritech is a premier late-stage investment firm with a portfolio that includes some of our most important business partners such as Facebook, and adding John McCaw to our investor roster is of huge strategic importance with his deep connections in the mobile and financial communities.
"We've been pursued by investment firms for many years and have resisted taking outside capital, but we liked Meritech's style and believe there's a tremendous opportunity to grow and evolve our business at a time when many other video game firms are retrenching."
"PopCap is arguably the most unique video game company on the planet," added Rob Ward, managing director at Meritech. "While other video game companies put out more flops than hits, PopCap has never produced a game that wasn't a critical and commercial success. Taking the company's boutique development style and universally appealing product lineup to the top of the video game food chain will be an exciting, potentially industry-changing, experience and we're happy to be a part of it."

A winner was selected from 322 designs submitted by 64 freelance designers.
We're a new take on micropayments. Instead of putting up with advertisements and subscriptions, we let you access premium digital goods by paying a few cents at a time.
We are targeting fairly sophisticated web users who want to access premium web products, but do it without signing up for a subscription. We expect them to be 18-35 years old, slightly more males than females. We're focusing on the US, primarily metropolitan areas. Most customers will have at least some college education, initially, and have a cosmopolitan attitude.
Additionally, we will work with publishers and companies whose businesses partner well with Minno. These members of our audience will be a little older, on average, and they'll be thinking of Minno as a prospective business partner. Our logo should seem trustworthy and professional, but still modern and a little fun.
We chose the name Minno because the minnow fish is small, cute, and quick. We want to make payments frictionless and fun for the user, and we want to unlock a new source of revenue for publishers. We've included some mockups of our site that feature an underwater theme, and we want the logo to feel natural in that environment, but also to look good alone (e.g. on a white background).

Sharp Zaurus
C1000/3x00 Hardware
Aug 6 2009, 10:53 AM
I know I said I am looking to get a Sharp C3100 in another thread, used to have one a couple of years ago. However I have been looking at the Nokia N810, which would be better? The main thing is the C3100 is a whole lot harder to find, and I have found the N810 is a bit less expensive. I am looking to buy within the next couple of weeks, I could use a little insight here.
Aug 6 2009, 12:34 PM
Pros: Free CF slot and full-size SD slot, internal HDD (but now comparable with Micro-SD cards in N810), well protected display when closed.
Cons: No internal Wi-Fi, no internal Bluetooth (both needs to be extrernal).
Pros: 800 pixels horizontally, more memory, camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth.
Cons: Much worse keyboard (one row less, when pressin upper row, your fingers touch the top part edge).
Aug 6 2009, 01:50 PM
N810 or Zaurus, depends on what you want to do. However, I would say for most folks a N810 would probably be the way to go. A fairly active community at maemo.org, nokia is still committed (although quiet about their next device). Nokia still looks at what closed pieces they can open source.
Bluetooth and wifi are very well integrated and work. The N810 is supposed to be an "internet tablet" so good selection of apps are web enabled. The web works wonderfully for a small handheld.
Way ahead for os with community development of mer (ubuntu thin layer).
A convenient way to run debian in a change root environment from within maemo.
Unless you are the type of person who would say "you can have my zaurus when you pry it from my cold dead hands," I'd say take a look at the Nokia N810 or wait until later this year when their next device comes out or the fabled Open Pandora device decides to ship a year + late.
Aug 6 2009, 01:56 PM
Seeing as I'm the potential seller this may be biased but my two cents are valid as I've owned both of them.
QUOTE(utx @ Aug 6 2009, 04:34 PM)
Cons: Much worse keyboard (one row less, when pressin upper row, your fingers touch the top part edge).
This was a HUGE problem for me. It's actually been a turn off to me for most sliders in general. The Aigo and the Sony Mylo also suffered a little from this problem, but on the N810 it was terrible.
In terms of productivity, I could do just about anything on the Zaurus, but the N810 only got use if I wanted to check email.
Having large storage space available in the Zaurus is a great feature, even more so when you consider modding with a larger CF card in place of the microdrive. I have done this on a Z3200 and have a 16GB card there. The N810 has 2gb (I think?) internal storage, though expansion via mini sd (ugh) is possible.
Aug 6 2009, 02:17 PM
One of the other things that intrests me about the N810 is the Garnet VM app, where you can run Palm os on the N810. With that, I could combine 2 devices...does anyone know anything more on that aspect?
Aug 6 2009, 02:23 PM
I agree that nothing beats the C3100 keyboard. The N810 keyboard does pale by comparison. The single mini-SD card slot is also a limitation on the N810. Mini-SD effectively means micro-SD with adapter. I have a 16 GB microSDHC card in mine. There is also a third party accessory which thickens the N810 but allows the use of full SD cards.
Another Nokia option if one doesn't care for a keyboard is the N800 which has dual SD card slots.
A couple other hardware features I think haven't been mentioned:
N810 - internal slow acquiring GPS, light sensor for changing screen brightness levels, host USB but I think unpowered or severely underpowered
N800 - internal FM radio
C3100 - Better host USB support with limited power
Another consideration, if one wants a full featured micro-workstation the Zaurus has more options. If you don't mind using software mostly written or optimized for the device the Nokia does well.
The Nokia also offers QT4 with bindings for their gui and python-qt. The Nokia does reasonably well as a media player (audio and video that has been transcoded).
Aug 6 2009, 03:13 PM
Ok thanks, that's good to know. Also what I'm trying to do is to have a better syncable pda than the Palm OS that I've been using.

with the zaurus there's k pim/pi, which is prett awesome if you need the performance. PIM and contact management on the nokia is very lacklustre if not effectively non-existent - just a contact list for email, instant messaging and VOIP.
I've still failed to replace my Palm T3, Nokia E65, Zaurus and N800 tablet with one device. I'm going to be trialling a Nokia E71 soon which I'm hoping I can persuade to replace the Palm and E65, but I have no idea whether there's a truly effective way to export everything from palm to nokia; I suspect I'll be using Palm Desktop forever even after the Palm has gone to gadget heaven, even if it's just in a windows VM accessed over rdesktop from some handheld device!

Archived under: [dnr.wi.gov/news] Hunting and Trapping of Wolves Closed in Wolf Zones 2 and 4, Effective Friday, Nov. 16, at the end of hunting and trapping hours Bill Cosh, (608) 267-2773 Tom Hauge, (608) 266-2193
MADISON – The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has closed Wolf Harvest Zones 2 and 4 to hunting and trapping of gray wolves effective Nov. 16, 2012. The two zones close Friday at the end of hunting hours for hunting and at the close of trapping hours for trappers, which is 8 p.m. Wolf Harvest Zones 2 and 4 are the first zones to be closed this season. The harvest of wolves currently remains open in all other zones. The department will continue to closely monitor the harvest in the remaining zones and does expect an increase in the rate of harvest during this weekend's gun deer season. Wolf hunters and trappers should check for additional zone closures throughout the weekend. "The harvest trend in Zone 2 has been steady while harvest in Zone 4, which is one wolf from quota, has been sporadic. We've watched trends and feel our best decision to make sure we don't exceed quotas is to start the closure process today just prior to reaching quota, anticipating increased harvest rates with the opening of the nine-day deer hunt this weekend," said Kurt Thiede, DNR Lands Division Administrator. "This is Wisconsin's inaugural season. We are learning much about hunter and trapper success rates that will help us draft permanent rules that continue to move the wolf population down toward levels in line with biological and social carrying capacity ." "We will be considering harvest trends as we approach quotas in other zones as well. Our ultimate goal is to reduce the wolf population by 116 animals, distributed across the landscape," said Thiede. The state wolf harvest quota for Zone 2 was set at 20 wolves and the closure process was initiated when 18 wolves were reported as harvested. The state wolf harvest quota for Zone 4 was set at 5 wolves and the closure process was initiated when 4 wolves were reported as harvested. Wolf hunters and trappers are advised that they can continue to pursue wolves in zones 1, 3, 5 and 6, but are urged to watch zones 1 and 5. When additional zones are closed, the Wisconsin DNR will announce such closures by news releases, notification at dnr.wi.gov, and on the wolf call-in number, 1-855-299-9653. It is the hunter's and trapper's responsibility to check for and know about zone closures. DNR encourages hunters and trappers to check the website or the call-in number daily.
