Back to Blogging
April 12, 2009
Bluntly, there is no other way to express where I have been the past six months besides the words: "I screwed up."
In a nutshell, I suddenly abandoned my healthy readership, and disappeared into my supposed alibi consisting of sad excuses of overloading homework and events. I took a break, fiddled with a possible culturedecoded.com, and ended up less than I started with. And although I understand that most likely some of you — my readers — may not read my work again, I want to apologize for my naive pause from blogging and come back just as I left Culture Deocded.
An overwhelming amount of events have occurred in the political world as I have left, and I want to discuss them as soon as possible. A President Barack Obama has taken countless actions to bring the free world back to where it once was, some of which I disagree with and some of which I agree with. Iraq has remained a focal point in the middle east, and there is still question in the air over when american troops will really pull out. Somalian pirates have put a fixture in the previously quiet Gulf of Aden, and America is torn over what actions should be taken. The president has purchased a long awaited dog, and Vice President Biden has taken swings at Karl Rove, and the press is taking sides.
As far as the status of the blog, I encourage all of you visiting and returning to leave comments on what you think about the issue at hand. A successful blog is not just written by the author, but by its readers, and if you contribute, there will be very interesting conversations for a long time.
So without further ado, I will continue where I left off, and work as hard as possible to initiate political discussions that will benefit everyone.

The Majors Adopt Instant Replay — Has It Been Time?
August 27, 2008
Mixed feelings surround tomorrow's (August 28, 2008) change in the MLB's rule policy toward instant replay, which is noticeably only geared towards disputes on home runs. Most proclaim that its too little of a change, that baseball should suck it up and admit to the new age of technology, and forget all the old stuff. And very few, including me, argue the other way, claiming that baseball should stick to the original rules.
Why? Baseball is all about the old stuff — the crack of the bat, the outdoors, the spitting on the ground like no one is looking, the game of gentlemen, the slow pace, the rain delays, and yes — the pile of chewed gum at the side of the dugout. But most of all, my favorite part about Baseball is letting the umpires call the shots. This game isn't just like any other sport; its America's pastime, and it deserves to be recreated every time the ball-players step onto the field.
Personally, I am a huge fan of the JumboTron and its counterparts including Cricket and Tennis's Hawkeye. Trust me as a die-hard Lakers fan, I'd die without correct calls, instant replay or not. But although Baseball isn't exactly my forte, I can go this far — as a sports fan, and an American — the one sport that is ours entirely should stay entirely as it was meant to be, and if that answer is "old" — then so be it.
Analysis: Is Michael Phelps The Greatest Athlete Ever?
August 16, 2008
A person possessing the natural or acquired traits, such as strength, agility, and endurance, that are necessary for physical exercise or sports, especially those performed in competitive contexts.
It's been hovering around him since the opening ceremony, and now after he has shattered six world records and won seven of his seven entered races, there is no question to many sports fans and journalists alike that Michael Phelps is the greatest athlete ever to set foot on Earth. He has the three key components of a true athlete: strength, agility, and endurance, and he happens to compete in a sport that demands each of those traits. But is he really the best? I beg to differ.
There is no disputing that Phelps is the greatest swimmer ever, but some people need to seriously contemplate making a statement like this, which in my opinion is very premature. The world has only seen this guy for less than a week, and whatever he has managed to accomplish is admittedly extremely impressive, but the world has simply seen better out of a human being. It seems like in all this excitement the world has forgotten the flawless performances that have been displayed thus far in the world of sports ranging from Kobe Bryant's 81 point performance, where relentless scoring met grace and agility, to Michael Jordan's illustrious career. And who can forget Walter Payton's mesmerizing speed and toughness in the dirty sport of American football and Usain Bolt's recent world records with arguably the best sprinting ever showcased. And what about Pele, Gordie Howe, Magic Johnson, and the many others who really were sports during their era.
And we keep forgetting the unknown sports that really showcase the most challenging and athletic ability — Big Mountain Skiing, Biatholan, the marathon, horse racing, gymnastics, and (my favorite) — parkour.
So is Michael Phelps the greatest athlete ever? It's very hard to tell, and it all comes down to a long and hard thought by a well respected journalist. So who is the greatest athlete ever? David Belle. Look him up.
GM's Volt — What Are They Doing?
August 14, 2008
Times have changed. Five years ago the war in Iraq was supposed to be already over, Time.com claimed that the internet was too crowded (no, really?), and above all, gas prices were nearing an all time high at an outrageous $1.72 per gallon. So you could imagine how the garage wars around your neighborhoods were going, with one guy whipping out his 2003 Acura NSX, which (at the time) was one of the fastest cars in the world, and bragging about his 5.2 0-60 time.
But sadly, times like that are far away from us now. The cars have gotten better and more expensive, and in a sense so has the oil. Ok, maybe not better, but you get the point. The grass will always be greener on the other side — like always — and now everyone wishes instead of buying that flashy Corvette, maybe they should have hung onto their good old 50 MPG VW Rabbit.
Enter the hybrids. Victor Wouk's genius creation turned hybrids and other green cars away from their hippie image, and suddenly they were as popular as bell bottoms in the late sixties. With streets flooded with brand new Prius's, and a new EcoGeek community rapidly forming, it was suddenly cool to be an environmentalist again.
Meanwhile, truck and performance companies like GM started their downfall. No one wanted a new Chevy Tahoe anymore, and despite valiant efforts to "green-a-tize" these gas-chugging trucks, GM's popularity and credibility took a giant blow. Toyota and their squeaky clean factories dangled Detroit's credibility right in front of them, mass producing their trademark cars at a fraction of the price it took Ford and GM to. So GM rallied back, trying the most sensible thing to do — fighting fire with fire — and creating a green car of their own. But what they came out with? It makes me think to myself: "What the are these idiots thinking?!"
As you can see in the pictures, what GM failed to do here was make a car that could sell. In short, they sent Chuck Norris to a black-tie formal. What I mean by that is they planted themselves in a market that they had never experimented in, and because of that they couldn't hold back, planting a sports car with gigantic shiny rims and a futuristic muscle tone to compete with a Prius. And that's not going to sell. Sorry for offending anyone, but the average tree-hugging Prius driver would not exactly fair well with a high-performance electric sports car with bigger rims than Ice-Cube could ever dream of.
So its not going to sell. Plain and simple. GM went way too far with a good idea and tried for something new, inventive and sportsy for a car that is their future's last ray of hope. So would I drive it? Well, first of all I can't drive, but if I had a choice between a Prius and the Volt when I turn 16 in a world of horribly high gas prices, I would take the Chevy in a heartbeat. But I'm afraid that this wouldn't be the choice of the average middle aged driver looking for a fuel-efficient car. So what do I think? GM just made a big mistake.
First Impressions of Valle Nevado
August 13, 2008
After two weeks in South America, daily reminders that I've been spoiled keep presenting themselves. But I had always thought that the skiing would be different. Trust me, after all that time I spent on vallenevado.com, many assuring thoughts entered my mind. The pictures on the site described not a resort, but a huge central lodge surrounded by mountains on all sides blanketed with powder, much like a volcano inside out (if you remember your 6th grade geometry). But after a rather frightening one and a half hour drive, which had more traverses than the Yankees have pennants, I was getting a bit skeptical. So as far as the actual skiing: I'll quote Andy Roddick here: "It was horrible, it sucked. Otherwise it was great."
My point is the skiing here is not an exception to my spoiled points. The snow quality wasn't great (I ski in Utah so that's another world in itself), there was only one high speed lift, and to top it off it was extremely overcast which probably got me into a bad mood. But besides that, it was great.
What I mean by this is the resort itself has great potential. First off, let me say Valle Nevado has a lot of terrain. South American ski resorts have a different mentality than the ones in the States and Canada — there are no rope lines. Everything out of the groomed runs are at your own risk, and that's great. You don't get your lift passes clipped from you, and most of the non-groomers end up at a lift, plus its a ghost town anywhere away from a groomed slope. But it's not like you should stay away from the off-piste though, its amazing. Sadly we came too late (3 days after the storm) so we only found patches of the untracked stuff left. Here's the video — bare with me on the on music…
But if you get bored with all the huge area that Valle Nevado offers, don't worry — you have access to two other great resorts: La Parva and El Colorado — which border Nevado on both sides. So with a clear day and powder, you can have the day of your life here. And hopefully that's what I am going to get in a matter of days — the weather man is calling for a meter of fresh snow. By that time I will be skiing in the famous Portillo resort, entirely in another direction. And hopefully then I will be able to see beyond a few feet in front of me. Well, we're excited — I am writing this in the car smack dab in the center of Santiago our two hour pilgrimage to Portillo.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to keep all of my files in one cloud repository. I currently have data stored in a myriad of places including (at last check) Dropbox, Google Drive, Syncplicity, Microsoft OneDrive and Box add in different photo services (Flickr, Instagram and a host of -related image locations) and you have a lot of complexity. While the sheer number of different services I use might be somewhat unusual, the fact that I don't use a single solution is, I believe, symptomatic of the way people work nowadays. Even within large organizations that would usually be expected to use a single solution, different business units, collaboration with outside contractors and a myriad of other reasons results in "cloud sprawl".
So given that this "cloud sprawl" is increasingly a fact of life, it is important to think of ways to reduce the complexity of this sprawl, and bring some overall visibility to users. This is the problem that odrive is trying to solve. odrive is a new product from the Oxygen Cloud team. Oxygen Cloud itself is a company that has been trying for a few years to push a hybrid cloud sync and share solution – similar to Egnyte. That's a very busy space and it seems that odrive is an attempt to move away from a hyper-competitive area.
The idea of odrive is to give users a traditional folder interface for browsing all of their online files. In the same way that Dropbox introduces a local file interface, odrive does this for all your cloud solutions – indeed the company's tagline for odrive is "a Dropbox for everything". That "everything" currently extends to Dropbox, Facebook, Box, Salesforce, Instagram, Drive, Gmail, and OneDrive. For services that support two-way sync (such as Google Drive and Dropbox), odrive enables users to update files within the folder and have that reflected on the cloud side. For services that don't, odrive is essentially a read-only tool. Although, if you think about it, this kind of makes sense – no one would expect to be able to drag photos into an Instagram folder and have those automatically populate their public Instagram feed.
odrive also includes "progressive syncing" – what this means is that larger files (currently ones over 10 megabytes), only sync when users select them – it's a logical hard-drive space and bandwidth saving feature.
odrive is also something of a search tool – users can set up hashtag searches and create a folder that will be updated in real time – for example a user could have a folder populated with all public images tagged #ParisInWInter.
odrive is actually a really useful tool but is one that might be hard to gain traction with. It's focused on being a consumer tool (odrive is currently free) but arguably it resolves more of a business problem. Either way I like what Oxygen Cloud is doing, if odrive helps me clean up the mess that is my terabytes of cloud data, then I'm all for it.

Interstate in $68 million merger Hotel company's deal with MeriStar sends headquarters to D.C. Friday, May 03, 2002 By Dan Fitzpatrick, Post-Gazette Staff Writer
Green Tree hotel manager Interstate Hotels Corp., founded 41 years ago by Pittsburgh attorneys Milt Fine and Ed Perlow, yesterday announced a $68 million merger with Washington, D.C.-based MeriStar Hotels & Resorts that would preserve Interstate's name but move its headquarters to the nation's capital.
The combined company, officials said yesterday, would keep a "significant operating presence" in Pittsburgh, where Interstate employs about 130 people at the Foster Plaza office park and another 220 at three hotels -- the Oakland Residence Inn, the Residence Inn by Marriott Pittsburgh Airport and the Pittsburgh Country Inn & Suites.
MeriStar Chief Executive Officer Paul Whetsell, in a conference call with analysts yesterday, reaffirmed his plans to keep a strong presence in southwestern Pennsylvania but was unwilling to predict how many Pittsburgh-area Interstate employees would keep their jobs, saying, "We just haven't gotten into that level of detail."
If approved by Interstate shareholders, who would receive 4.6 shares of the combined company's common stock for each of their 12.2 million common shares, the MeriStar-Interstate deal would combine the nation's No. 1 and No. 2 independent hotel management companies. The new company, to be named Interstate Hotels Corp., would operate 412 hotels in North America and Europe.
Interstate's stock rose almost 50 percent on the news, ending the day at $3.91. MeriStar's stock dropped 21 percent, to 95 cents.
The merger announcement sets up a showdown with Shaner Hotel Group, the State College company that recently made an unsolicited tender offer for 46 percent of Interstate's outstanding shares. Shaner already controls more than 5 percent of Interstate's stock. Shaner's offer, which expires May 31, would give Shaner a controlling stake in the company.
Shaner, which has made four offers to buy Interstate since October 2000 and had its most recent offer rejected by Interstate last week, stood by its $3-per-share offer yesterday, claiming that Shaner's "persistent pursuit" of Interstate forced the board "into action."
While the MeriStar deal "may finally relieve investors from Interstate's excessive executive compensation, poor performance and mounting financial losses," Shaner said in a statement, "the MeriStar deal trades one underperforming stock for another, only in greater quantities. The benefit to Interstate shareholders is missing here."
But one shareholder, Paul O'Leary of New York-based Raffles Associates, said the MeriStar deal "looks better than anything we have seen before, better than just staying as we were, better than the offers we have seen put on the table so far. We are still analyzing the acquiring company to see what kind of upside there is in its stock. The initial indication is that there may be substantial upside in MeriStar."
If MeriStar's stock continues to trade under $1, it could be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. Still, O'Leary, who controls more than 5 percent of Interstate's stock, said the MeriStar deal appears more lucrative than Shaner's. "It seems like Shaner's $3 bid is not going to be competitive unless there is another substantial drop in MeriStar's stock price."
Pittsburgh hotel finance executive Mark Popovich, who has worked with Interstate in the past, said that "I think the Shaner deal is dead . . . I think it was dead even without this merger." He cited a letter that Interstate Chief Executive Officer Thomas Hewitt issued to shareholders last week, when Hewitt described Shaner's offer as "financially inadequate" and outlined his reasons for rejecting the bid. "They have some pretty compelling points as to why the Shaner proposal didn't make sense for them," said Popovich, who works for Holliday Fenoglio Fowler L.P.
The merger, Popovich said, "is probably a great move for Interstate. MeriStar is the largest independent hotel company. They are marrying the best of the best."
Industry observers agree that Interstate is no longer the company it once was.
Two Pittsburgh attorneys, Fine and Perlow, founded the company in 1961 by investing in an Erie motor lodge known as the Capri Motel. The duo began developing Howard Johnson Motor Lodges along Pennsylvania's interstate highways in the 1960s, while building a portfolio of hotel management contracts. In 1972, Interstate got its first Marriott franchise for the Pittsburgh Green Tree Marriott, and it went on to develop Marriott hotels in several cities around the country.
Perlow died in the 1980s, and Fine decided to sell the company for $2.1 billion in 1997 to Patriot American Hospitality. Patriot, which later changed its name to Wyndham International Inc., spun off Interstate in June 1999 after a difficult yearlong marriage, making Interstate an independent company once again. Wyndham kept most of Interstate's real estate, and the company has not gained profitability since the spinoff.
Popovich ackowledged that Interstate's move to Washington, D.C. would represent a symbolic loss for the region, but he also emphasized how important it was that Interstate keeps its name. "It may not mean a lot for our region, but I think it speaks volumes for the respect that the name Interstate has in the industry."

0Sánchez Romate
In 1781, Juan Sánchez de la Torre joined forces with a partner from the Romate family and laid the foundations of the Bodegas Sánchez Romate Hermanos. Their company produced sherry wines for more than 100 years with gradual expansion, but it reached a milestone when in 1887 the fourth generation of Sánchez Romate decided to create an exclusive brandy for the family and their closest circle of friends. This was the beginning of Cardenal Mendoza Solera Gran Reserva, the company's flagship brand and one of the best-selling brandies in Spain and abroad. The brandy was so good that it was commercialized rather quickly.
In 1909 the firm was appointed official supplier of Sherry to the House of Lords, and in 1917 to the Vatican. By the end of the 1940's though, the company had sunk from fame into obscurity until it was sold to a group of five friends in 1954. Their families still own the house, making Sánchez Romate one of the larger sherry houses in family hands.
Although most of the companies profits are still made through brandy, the house maintains a collection of excellent sherry soleras. Over 100 hectares of albariza vineyards provide the Palomino grapes for their wines. Moscatel and PX grapes are bought from external suppliers in Montilla-Moriles. The bodegas have an interesting mist spray system that makes sure the ambient humidity is a stable 70%. The inner sanctum of the bodegas are called La Sacristía (also the name of some of their high-end sherries). The barrels in the Sacristía are generally about 120 years old, and a cooper checks the barrels each day to make sure they don't leak.
Apart from its own sherries, Romate also produces quite a few private label products for supermarkets and more upmarket clients like The Wine Society (see The Society's Fino for example).
Sánchez Romate sherry range
Sánchez Romate has an extensive range of sherries, in three categories:
- Romate sherries: the basic range which contains the Fino Romate, Amontillado Romate, Oloroso Romate, Cream Romate and Pedro Ximénez Romate. This also includes more specific products like Manzanilla Viva La Pepa or the Fino Perdido.
- Special Reserves: middle-aged sherries. Fino Marismeño, Amontillado NPU, Palo Cortado Regente, Oloroso Don José, Cream Iberia, Moscatel Ambrosía, Pedro Ximénez Duquesa and Pedro Ximénez Cardenal Cisneros.
- Old & Plus (the former Sacristía de Romate range): top of the range sherry, originally only for intended for consumption by the bodega families. Includes an Amontillado Old & Plus VORS, Oloroso Old & Plus VORS and Pedro Ximénez Old & Plus VOS.
Obviously there is also the range of Cardenal Mendoza brandy (Clasico, Lujo, Carta Real, Non Plus Ultra), Brandy Romate and a series of vinegars.

I'm staying with some friends at Snowbird and then on the last night they are going to meet their families in PCMR for the start of their kids spring break. I have the option to sleep on their sofa and then catch shuttle to the airport for my 10:30am flight home.
I'm not anxious to do that, as I'd somewhat be intruding on their family vacation (even though they don't care) and I'd have to get up earlier than necessary to get the ride to the airport.
I was thinking about just getting a shuttle to SLC and staying by myself in a hotel and then flying out the next day as planned.
The City Creek Center looked intriguing, as somewhere to walk around and eat on that Saturday night.
The questions are:
- are cabs expensive from that area to airport. how much approx?
- is it hard to get a cab to airport to hold skis?
- is there an hotel with free shuttle to airport that has a 1/2 decent restaurant walking distance (nothing lower than an Outback).
I could forgo the City Creek if something was decent at an "airport hotel" with free shuttle to airport.
Thanks and sorry for asking the long winded question.

I can't wait to see Jan again! She's in? On what?! This will be so great!
- Tiffany in PA
Jan! Oh, happy day! This promo just left me with the biggest smile, I swear. And dare I say it? Jan looks like S2 Jan! Oh, happy day!
- Joseph
I'm sure this will be the first amazing episode!
- Kaye
Omg…Michael's pregnant. And now he's gotta figure out who the baby mommy is.
- George
It's great to see Michael and all his ladies.
- Robert
Whoa, it's Jan! And yeah, season 2 Jan, perhaps? Okay, Office, you got me back. I'll definitely be watching live. Excellent.
- Kelly
I'm excited for the return of all of Michael's ladies but I am REALLY excited for that live 30 Rock episode!
- Chris M.
VERY glad to see that Melora Hardin will be returning, regardless of how long her appearance(s) may last. Many of you probably are aware of the fact that she now has a role on "Outlaw"; whenever I watch an episode and see her, I immediately think of Jan (as opposed to her character, Claire).
- Langston
I can't wait for this episode, although I wish it were an hour long episode!
- ToddPacker
I just want Holly back.
- emma89
This is going to be an exciting Thursday! Can't wait to see all of them back and the live 20 Rock!!! Oh, and I loved the John Lennon song playing in that last one.
- Esther Okure
I just want to see Carole Stills and Holly, never really liked Jan
- Dadaist
First, I love that song! Happy Birthday John! And I'm with Esther, the women I want to see the most are Carole and Holly. I know we are not going to see Holly, but it's going to be great to see the real life husband and wife duo of Steve and Nancy.
- Michael Scarn
Right on. Jan's in, I'm in.
- Sara
The way Jan says 'I'm in' gives me goosebumps. I can't wait to see her! Especially because she looks like she's back to her Season 2/3 self! :)
- JoMo
Jan, Jan, Jan, Jan, JAAAAAAAAAN! So psyched for this one.
- Tiffany
Sara – Right? I hope there's some payoff to that line. And I love how the clips were of classic Jan. Here's hoping that was intentional and that she's been rebooted. So excited!
- jennmark
i have missed Jan! i think she will be in at least one more episode besides this one…and i hope more than that! I'd like to find out what the deal is with Astrid…please tell me it's really Michael's kid. that would be amazing.
- Sammie
Great looking episode and "Woman" by John Lennon playing in the background! Soooo fabulous!
YES! The moment we all have been waiting for, Michael's Women return episode! there is absolutely no way this episode won't be an instant classic based on the premise of the storyline alone. Melora Hardin is so darn good looking too! Seriously, Jenna Fischer is a 100 out of 10 but Melora is just one beautiful woman. Along with Mindy, and Ellie and Angela (hello seed catalog model outfit) Kate and Phyllis, and we get Amy R.-Nancy-Amy P.-and Linda tonight! Love the office ladies :)

Margaret Durman, 55, and Penny Smith, 41, were dismissed from a care home after they were accused of allowing the physical and sexual abuse of residents.
But a tribunal found the allegations were groundless and that the couple had been victims of sexual orientation discrimination.
Scroll down for more...
It said Barchester Healthcare, which ran the Cornwall care home where they worked, unfairly "trawled" staff for complaints, suppressed documents and mishandled the disciplinary procedure.
Yesterday, the nurses, who both earned at least £24,000 a year, were awarded a record payout for a case involving the Royal College of Nursing.
The figure is thought to be between £350,000 and £500,000. The tribunal report stated:
"It is hard to see how any dismissal, conducted by an employer of such size, could be so very bad unless sexual orientation discrimination was the root cause of it.
"We are not satisfied that a heterosexual couple would have been treated the same."
Miss Durman and Miss Smith had been together for a year when they were sacked from Kernow House care home in Launceston in September 2005.
Miss Durman, a registered nurse for 35 years, had been manager of the home since 2001 and both had exemplary records.
Following their dismissal, however, they were put on the Protection of Vulnerable Adults list, which meant they could no longer work as nurses.
They have since been removed from the list but said yesterday that their lives had been "ruined" by their ordeal.
Both have undergone counsellingand they have been forced to cash in pensions and sell one of their homes.
Miss Smith, who has a 15 year old son, said: "I've developed various physical disorders - we have seen counsellors and we are having some more treatments. We are definitely not the same people."
Miss Durman added: "It has been extremely traumatic for us and our families. What has caused us the most distress is the damage Barchester have caused to our reputation.
A spokesman for Barchester Healthcare, which looks after 100,000 men and women nationwide, said its procedures had been reviewed in light of the tribunal findings.
"The sexual orientation of its staff is of no interest to Barchester.
"While Barchester is clearly disappointed by the outcome of the tribunal, its primary concern has always been, and remains to be, the welfare of its residents at Kernow House."

There are several types of cars not equipped with automatic locking system. Although already equipped with an alarm system, car owners such as the Honda City and the Nissan Grand Livina XV and some other types of cars still have to lock the doors manually before abandoning his car in the parking lot. Fuss, if I forget going nuisance.
To complete it, Maestro offers Auto Lock device. This tool is integrated with an alarm can be operated so that once a push, active alarms at once all the doors locked automatically.

Hi, visiting Ashland on Sept 18 and 19 to watch the 8PM Shakespeare plays on both nights, are there restaurants offering "Happy Hour"? Thought that would be the best way to go...or early dinners?
Louie's Bar & Grill is near the theaters and has great "recession pricing" for decent food. Many of the restaurants offer theater menus but they aren't necessarily lower prices.
Thanks. Good to know. Apparently, there are many to choose from according to yelp...
need one close to the theatre.
Most restaurants open at 5:00. We love The Peerless, Lark's and Liquid Assets Wine Bar in Ashland. Have fun! :)

I am replying as requested.
I was just wondering, are the android applications that uses Menu and Back buttons supported and how is that handled because PlayBook doesnt have any physical buttons?
Count me in, i've started creating android apps a few months ago, and the "portability" to playbook, is just perfect to expand my apps global coverage without much work. ( i'm just having a few problems displaying the orientation to portrait, but may be just the emulator =\ )
My app development website is http://din4mic.redetab.com
I'm relatively new to blackberry. I have just submitted my first app today.
I interned with a company last summer where I worked porting their Android app over to blackberry, but hadn't really worked on Blackberry since then. Working for compatibilty, and with OS <5, was tough at times, but with these new Android tools, in conjunction with the PlayBook OS 2.0, it definitely seems like something I could get back into!
Here's to the future!
Hi Mark,
i'd love to join in on the fun and submit my app (~150.000 downloads in Android Market) to App World, but it's already the third day that i'm waiting for my account to be enabled...
Yes, i received that mail that i need to provide a proof of identification, and did send that back, but my status is still "disabled".
If you really want to pull the Android devs to BB, you guys need to work out those issues! It took me under 5 minutes from the initial signup to submitting my first app in the Android Market, and while i understand that there's a manual process involved on your side, it can't take that long, or can it?
02-07-2012 07:00 AM - edited 02-07-2012 02:26 PM
I've sent mine 3 days ago and i haven't received an answer yet =\
EDIT: my account has been activated, but now you guys have 2 new apps to aprove now. =D

Update: I received notification that my account was approved. Maybe the 24-48 hours mentions in the first email you received means 1-2 business days.
I submitted my identity stuff last friday and am still waiting. At this rate, I'm wondering if my account will even be enabled before the deadline for the free playbook.....
I got my code signing keys within an hour of requesting them. I didn't have any of the problems others have had with geting their signing keys....
When I try to log in to the developer zone I get an "Account not found" message.....
Mark, Any help for us?

Truecrypt 7.0 Linux AES-NI Benchmark
The new Truecrypt 7.0 release is almost 7 times faster compared to 6.0 on my i7-620M with AES-NI. It is some hundred mb/s faster now than dmcrypt (which runs my system-encryption on Debian Squeeze), but that is expected since truecrypt makes use of multiple cores AND aes-ni and dmcrypt only supports 1 thread per mounted device, so unless you create a RAID consisting of multiple dmcrypt-devices, you can only use 1 core.
Another nice thing, they ported the included benchmark-tool from windows to linux. In 6.3 there was no benchmarking when running under Linux, but now it is supported.
Truecrypt achieves between 1600 and 1700 mb/s. I ran the benchmark for 1mb, 5mb, 10mb, 50mb, 100mb and 1024mb, skipped 200mb and 500mb, because I was tooo lazy

Thread: Bay Rum and Citrus EdT Advice! |
My barber uses his own brand products (not sure if I can name on here?) with a bay rum citrus scent and I am searching for an EdT equivalent.
I did see a similar thread re Bay Rum generally so apologies in case of a slight overlap but I also want the citrus element to be present as opposed to cloves etc (Czech and Speake Cuba) or just bay rum (Trumpers).
Many thanks in advance for any recommendations / suggestions!

Virgin Island Water.
Virgin Island Water is definitely going to give you the rum and citrus.
I don't know of a true replacement for it if you are looking for authentic notes.

Many thanks for all the recommendations so far--much appreciated! I may start with Virgin Island Water and take it from there purely as it's the easist one for me to get hold of in terms of samples over here in the UK. I'm intrigued by what BBrothers have to offer as well. Ogallala Bay Rum, Lime and Peppercorns--not one Ive heard of so thanks for this. Not sure of its availability in the UK but I'll try and track some down.
Thanks again.
I forgot about another one that won't break your wallet. Tommy Bahama Set Sail St. Barts.
I just visited his website and it sounds like he does ship internationally, but you need to e-mail him to get a price quote. The products themselves are inexpensive, so even if the shipping is high, it shouldn't break the bank. Good luck!
Go buy Bay Rum LAYrite No 9, from hawleywoods barber online...

Sequoia offers direct connection to broadcast databases and automation systems, including DAVID DigaSystem, SCISYS dira! Highlander, TRACT Digispot and d'accord.
Sequoia's interface guarantees seamless integration, whether for news, features or multi-track projects. Productions can be imported and exported from any workstation at the press of a button. Depending on the level of integration, audio files and even entire Sequoia projects are supported.
The entirety of the audio material and the Sequoia projects are saved on database servers. Automatic backup and deletion routines maintain data integrity at all times. Incremental and differential saving provide reduced network load and save a lot of time. Only project changes are saved, instead of complete projects.
Auto Ducking is a very useful production feature for coordinating background music and vocal recordings. This dialog-based tool manipulates volume curves and lowers the music level as soon as someone begins talking on another track. Edits are made using the volume of the audio material in the source track and can be applied to multiple target tracks.
Cue mode is a special live playback mode often used for special cue sounds in radio broadcasts and theater. The objects or object groups in this audio track can be played back in sequence while another track is recorded simultaneously. For recording radio dramas, for example, you can record a speaker and seamlessly integrate noises and pre-produced elements as the script calls for them.
When working on productions that rely heavily on the rapid flow of information, Sequoia's "Record independent of playback" feature makes it possible to listen to any part of the material from a live recording, to cut and arrange objects in the project and to export already available material.
This makes it possible to delay playback of a live concert recording for radio listeners, as well as skip intermission. Alternatively, you can create an edited recording of a seminar and make it available for participants directly after.
You can even export raw material locally or to a database before the recording is over (e.g. to allow an editor to preview the current status and content of a report). Sequoia's audio engine handles all of these tasks like a charm.
Sequoia can be set up for different users using the user administration. Each user can have his or her own settings (e.g. keyboard shortcuts, color settings, toolbars and crossfade presets).
The local user administration allows the administrator to grant or deny users access to certain hard drives. Sequoia may also be set up so that users can change program options while they are working, but the software will open with the administrator settings the next time it is launched.
All Sequoia system settings can be saved in a container file to make it easy to transfer settings from one computer to another. When you put Sequoia on a new system, you can decide which settings to transfer (e.g. general settings, display settings, window positions, project templates, etc.).
These containers can also be used for network login, where they are stored in a network path to serve as user or group profile images. This lets you centrally manage all user profiles on a server. Users can log in on any workstation in the network with their personal settings. It's also possible to start off with the default settings on every new network login or to automatically transfer settings changes to the network profile.
All these features make it easy for administrators to set up and manage even a large number of workstations.
Each CodeMeter dongle can make its network licenses usable on other workstations. To reduce the amount of administrative work when using multiple licenses in a company, MAGIX offers network dongles with any desired amount of network licenses which can be accessed by any desired number of workstations. This can make it a lot easier to upgrade firmware and software.

I have a guitar ESP eclipse II with active pickups and I use Pod XT Live as audio interface. The signal handle on the outlet is set to maximum but not clipped. During the recording a guitar rhythm doesn't cause any problems, but when I'm recording solo, outlet sound comes out very quietly, approximately -15 db. How to amplify the level of a sound? Previously I had Tone Port and used Pod Farm, which has a button "+18 db", I pressed the button and outlet sound became amplified (louder). Then I was recording solo and at the end I just turned off the button and kept recording in a usual mode. How can I amplify the outlet sound?
The Pod Farm doesn't recognize XT Live, although the drivers are installed, why is that? And could Pod XT Live and Pod Farm be combined? I record through a real-time sequencer. And originally it's a clear signal recorded to make re-amping afterwards.

POD Farm is not used to edit tones for the xt or X series, you would use Gearbox (or Edit) for that.
The drop in output is likely due to different patch settings. You may need to adjust the channel volume and/or levels/gains of other effects.
If you are recording via USB, you can set the PODxt Live to send the unprocessed signal to your DAW, while monitoring the wet.
This option can be found in the Line6 Audio-MIDI Devices control panel.
Then after recording you can add the POD Farm plug-in post processing.

Jimbo's Hamburger Place: An Atmosphere You'll Never Forget
By Mitch Broder
Walking into Jimbo's Hamburger Place is less liking walking into a place than it is like walking into a hamburger.
You inhale hamburger steam. You see through hamburger vapor. You are having a hamburger sauna.
You're engulfed by the greasy haze of decades of hamburger.
You believe you're getting a film.
If you're a fairly antiseptic person you will tell yourself to flee. But since you want a really good hamburger, you will tell yourself to sit. You will allow yourself to drift back into fifties luncheonette culture. You will be rewarded with "The Best Chopmeat Money Can Buy."
There aren't many places left like Jimbo's. There aren't many places left called Places. Jimbo's is a refuge from a city of chefs trying to make the hamburger something it's not. It has a list of twenty-three burgers, but the most exotic topping is blue cheese. (It also has the one with the fried egg on top. There's a reason it's called Texas Burger.)
Jimbo's has indeed been cultivating burger mist since the fifties, at least as Jimbo's, whether or not Jimbo was actually named Jimbo. He is said to have been a man who came from Arkansas, which is plausible; Arkansas is a cattle-raising state.
Jimbo is believed to have sold the restaurant to a man named Gus, who was Greek, which is also plausible, since there's no reason to make it up. In the late seventies it was taken over by Mahmoud Mostafa, who is Egyptian, which, too, is plausible, since he is still the owner.
Mahmoud, who answers to "Jim," runs the place with his son Abe. He renovates it every decade or so, so it has the look of no particular era. He says he's closing down in about two weeks for this decade's renovation. It won't be massive, he told me. Just the same, I'd get over there now.
When I was over there, I got the table by the window, which was lucky because it was Andy Warhol's table, and because there are only three tables. Abe told me that Andy used to sit there on Saturday mornings. Michael Jackson never sat there, he added. He preferred to order in.
I ordered the Beef Burger Deluxe. I received a trapezoidal mound of perfectly cooked chopmeat that was hot, steamy, and juicy. The tomato was white; I didn't care. The Coke was canned; I didn't care. The burger was delicious and the fries were delicious, and every diner in New York City ought to just give up on tomatoes.
I asked for the men's room. I was led out to an iron gate that said "360 E. 55th St. Service Entrance." A man unlocked the gate and pointed me to a bathroom that held, among other things, a mop and bucket and a pair of pants. I didn't care about that, either. I just didn't want to run into the guy who owned the pants.
Jimbo's isn't dainty. But that's why it is precious. You deal with things like the grease fog. Just like the manager does.
"You go home with it," Abe told me, referring to himself. "If you're going out at night you have to shower. Unless you want to smell like burgers."

Wow! There are so many things in this article that I love that you wrote, I can't even list them all. A masterpiece in griece. OK, that was lame. But your blog most certainly is not. Your burger mist transports me. I can still smell the vapor in my hair, and I finished reading five minute ago. Even a chilling iron-gated subplot. A truly great article. Maybe the best. Sorry, you're gonna hate this, but...cutest caption ever.

A diverse country with plenty to offer its visitors, check out flights to Morocco and look forward to touching down in North Africa. Whether it's the vibrant culture, ancient medinas or breath-taking landscape, there's a myriad of reasons to get yourself to this fascinating country.
It is possible to fly to Morocco in under four hours from the UK, with a range of airports offering direct services. Popular places to head to include cities such as Marrakech, Rabat, Casablanca and Agadir, all offering rich experiences for travellers.
Marrakech is at first glance all bustling chaos, but once you get to grips with the seething mass of people and begin exploring the souks and side streets the rewards can be great. Delve among the myriad of sellers to find some wonderful items such as carpets, jewellery and fabrics, and be sure to visit the night markets that keep the streets buoyant every evening when food and song abound.
Capital Rabat is somewhat quieter but no less interesting, offering up a rich heritage to its backdrop as a port city. With stunning architecture that complements a cosmopolitan nature, Rabat's medina is relatively quiet and the locals are of a slightly more relaxed predisposition that allows you to explore in greater peace.
A little to the south you'll find Casablanca, Morocco's economic epicentre and a cultural hotspot, while much further down the coast lies Agadir. This sun-drenched port city doubles as a beach resort and holds plenty of appeal for holidaymakers thanks to the prevalence of readily-available amenities.
Whether it's the pull of the intriguing cities, attractive coastline, or captivating mountains and desert, Morocco has a little something for everyone.

Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Young Innovations, Inc.
Pomerantz Law Firm Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Young Innovations, Inc.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pomerantz Grossman Hufford Dahlstrom & Gross LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of Young Innovations, Inc. ("Young Innovations" or the "Company") (NAS: YDNT) (ISIN: US9875201033) concerning the proposed acquisition of Young Innovations by Linden Capital Partners in a transaction valued at approximately $314 million.
The investigation concerns whether the Young Innovations directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, Young Innovations shareholders will be entitled to receive $39.50 per share, representing a 12.5% premium to the 30 day average closing stock price. However, the price is below recent high in the stock price.
Young Innovations shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Robert Willoughby at firstname.lastname@example.com or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The Pomerantz Firm, with offices in New York, Chicago and San Diego, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz Firm pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 75 years later, the Pomerantz Firm continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of defrauded investors. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

I think a lot can be changed just by looking at something from a different angle.
A friend mentioned that this blog has been quiet a while. Yeah, I told him, I've been working on Life Nomadic. That's part of it, but it's not everything. Sometimes I'm struck with inspiration and can't wait to get a post out. Sometimes, like a kid running across the lawn, I just want to write for the sake of writing and I crank out three or four posts.
But sometimes it feels like an obligation. Something that I should do, or something that I have to do.
I'm a nomad. The closest thing I have to a permanent home is a tiny little RV. Or is it? Maybe it's the internet. I have far more files stored online than I have physical possessions. My mail gets delivered there, I earn my money there, and I talk to my friends there more than anywhere else.
If the internet is my home, then this site is my front door. And every day 1600+ people come to my front door to hear what I have to say. Eleven hundred (RSS) have made dropping by my house part of their daily routine. Another five hundred stop by for some reason or another.
Man, what an honor that is. It's easy to forget that each of those people is a real person who has made a conscious decision to come here. It's easy to compare my traffic stats to the most popular blogs and feel insignificant.
How would I feel if 1600 people came to my front door every day, interested in taking the time to hear whatever I had to say that day? It wouldn't feel like an obligation, it would feel like a privilege. Next time I don't feel like writing a post, that's what I'll think about.
And what profound gem to I have to share today? A video of the shop girl at Kate Spade in Caesar's Palace giving me a ride on their ladder.
Let's be honest: My blog is pretty cool. It's not nearly as popular at Boingboing, Tuckermax, or that weird housewife who writes about her kids, but I have a pretty steady readership who all post comments and get something out of the site. Since I started around a year ago, I've averaged 1200 unique readers a day (half of that is thanks to huge spikes from digg and such). My blog hasn't made me rich, but I've probably made a few thousand dollars, which is a nice side effect. More importantly it's made me a much better writer, and has helped me chronicle the past year of my life.
What I'm saying is this : I can't help you build the next Engadget or WWTDD, but I can help you get started to building a moderately popular blog.
First you need decent hosting and Wordpress. Don't mess with blogger - no one reads blogger blogs because they all look the same and don't have cool plugins that you need. I know you can customize it and all, but stop arguing and do it my way.
This is part two of my thoughts on NaNoWriMo. For part one, click here.
The mighty chart of many words on multiple days during mostly mornings.
A) Writing daily for NaNoWriMo has helped build the habit of daily writing.
This seems simplistic and on the surface it is, if you do a habit daily then you will build that habit. The problem I've had in the past is that it's easy to skip a day after five in a row and then do three only to miss another. Those missed days add up in the process of habit formation. Within NaNoWriMo these missed days have a quantifiable weight to them. I haven't had a zero day but I did only manage 329 words on another, the lowest blue bar. My habit is to write each day, and doing that I've succeed. If my habit was 1600 words each day, then the days I miss that habit are even more pronounced.

Reports have emerged suggesting that Twitter (News - Alert) is actually worth a pretty substantial amount of money in terms of its stock value. But that may not be the biggest bit of news surrounding Twitter of late; despite the fact that it is reportedly worth around $11 billion, it hasn't actually had an IPO yet and is only being traded in secondary markets.
The reports from Greencrest Capital provided a lot of insight into the likely future plans of the popular social networking site, with Twitter likely to look into an IPO, not in 2013, but rather in 2014 instead. Given that Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey had mentioned something similar in a discussion on CNBC last year saying that Twitter was poised for an IPO at a time it wouldn't yet reveal, it wasn't too much of a surprise to get the word from Greencrest Capital that an IPO would likely hit in 2014.
Twitter's earlier plans; meanwhile, seem to bolster the idea of an IPO afoot, including some major upgrades to management. Ali Rowghani, formerly of Pixar and formerly Twitter's CFO, got promoted to COO. Zynga's (News - Alert) treasurer, Mike Gupta, was brought in to replace Rowghani at CFO. This has helped fuel trading on secondary markets to hit a recent valuation of $11 billion, according to word from Greencrest. Recent financing helped Twitter hit $8 billion, and rose from there to $10 billion in private trading, though the Facebook (News - Alert) IPO knocked that figure down with subsequent recovery.
Granted, the trading on secondary markets isn't exactly a flawless measure of value. After all, secondary markets are illiquid, and that makes them less than optimal as trades can't reflect public opinion about a company's likelihood of success so readily. But given that Facebook stock was selling at $29.30 just 10 months ago, and it's currently selling at $28, it may well be a better measure than some would expect.
But then, Facebook stock also went through a series of wild maneuvers on its way to $28, so while the private trading may be a better indicator than expected, it isn't likely to tell the whole story. Still, Twitter as an IPO is looking like a pretty good idea, given its massive user base and potential for monetization.
Will we see Twitter stock come available in 2014 or perhaps even earlier? Only time will tell, of course, but it's a pretty safe bet that Twitter will be traded at some point.
