... when my brother was running a K1600GT and we did a couple of 3000 mile tours, his bike used almost the same amount of fuel as mine (54 mpg against 56 mpg for the RT). That six cylinder bike was an absolute rocket but, if ridden with reasonable restraint, it was super economical too. Don't know how BMW managed that .....
Ok, I have to say 54 or 56 MPG is not "super economical" in my book, my car does better than that and it has four wheels and lot more weight!!!

Every sales guy struggles to understand the purchasing habits and mindset of the customers in order to boost sales. Several marketers and sales experts would swear by certain simplistic ideas about psychology that can be developed to understand people and their pyramid of needs or motivators, which can guide a salesperson to make his pitch. But is it that simple as it sounds?
Human beings are known to be highly complex creatures and are definitely not easy to understand. However, many entrepreneurs and salespersons are taking efforts to get into the realms of human psychology to understand the trigger points that would consequently increase sales. Here are some of the techniques that are easy to employ.
Appeal to the Emotion
Most of the purchases that are made are decided on the basis of some feeling or an emotion, and not really through a logical deciding process. We buy expensive clothes from huge brands to make us feel affluent, a red dashing sports car to make us feel young and attractive, and we buy real estate in areas that are connected with right parts of the society. This is the reason why intangible benefits play an important role in influencing the buying decision.
As a consumer, we might be oblivious to any particular feeling or emotion that leads us towards making the purchasing decision, but this is the feeling that the salesperson needs to comprehend and act upon. If as a salesperson, you can understand the feeling or emotion that your customer is seeking in connection with your product or service, then you must start pleasing this emotion by creating a suitable experience for your customer. Once you have succeeded in pressing the right button for emotion, it is now time to validate the purchasing decision with good logic, just like your house purchase would be justified with good schools, appreciating rates of the property, and other factors. So the key here is to first appeal to that emotion which the customer is trying to satisfy, and then follow it with concrete facts, features, and benefits which will help the customer to justify his emotional urge rationally.
Give Your Customer "Less Option"
If you have been into the sales business for some time, then you would know by now that if you give too many options to the customers, they would often select nothing. This is what is known as the "analysis paralysis".
This does not mean you eliminate the choice of 95 products and offer only 5 to your customers which would be devastating to your business. But what you can do here is to categorize your products in such a way that the selection that the consumer has to make is from a limited set of choices. If you selling electronics, you wouldn't offer all the products in your store in one go, but would have sections for varieties of televisions, phones, appliances and other stuff. That is how all the stores, whether they are online stores or the regular ones, offer their products. Look at amazon, it has different departments and further classifications for the products so that it is easy for the customer to make the buying decision.
Losses are Always Greater than Gains
Human beings are not very logical but are mainly emotional, and hence it always matters more to us when we are losing something rather than gaining. There have been studies which have shown that psychologically, losses are twice as powerful as gains, and this is a well-known theory in economics known as loss aversion. So, someone who loses 100 bucks will be deprived of more satisfaction than someone who will gain satisfaction from attaining 100 bucks. When you think of this logically, it wouldn't make much sense, but for humans losing something of your own is more valuable than gaining something that is not yours. Therefore, along with telling people what they will get by buying a certain product, you must also reiterate what they will lose out on if they don't buy whatever you are selling.
You must have Good Reviews as well as Bad Reviews
In today's age, all our purchasing decisions are dependent on customer reviews of that product or service. People are more confident about making a purchase when they hear good things about it from other people, and so yu must make sure that you have plenty of good reviews which are easily accessible to others. Nurture your best customers as they are the ones who will then turn into your loyal advocates.
However, when you are running a business, whether you are selling products or providing services, not everyone is going to love what you do. Every product or service that is in the market has its own set of fans as well as haters, and so it is nearly impossible that you would not get a single bad review. Be real in such situations because that builds the trust with the customers when you acknowledge bad reviews and try and work on them.
Of course, these techniques barely scrape the surface of understanding the customers, psychology is a deep and powerful tool that marketers and salespersons can use to not only meet the sales goals but also to increase sales and to improve conversions.

We are huge food lovers, but also a huge lover of our little dog, @ladyhollythebeagle (i know, super cute hey!) – which means when we are holidaying in the beautiful English countryside, Holly comes everywhere with us!
Searching out amazing food can be a challenge when combining having the dog with us, and needing it to be gluten free friendly – we all know Michelin stars are the best places for Michelin stars, but this does not been to break the bank!
The Treby Arms in Devon was set up by Masterchef: The Professionals winner Anton in 2012, and has grown to become a destination pub with a really cool style. Not all Michelin star eateries are white table clothes, stark colours and so formal you feel you cant make any noise – this place has all the charm & character of an old pub, with drinkers in the bar area (where we sat with Holly) adding to the atmosphere.
We noticed the tankards hanging behind the bar, individually named for the locals straight away so we knew we were about to get some fantastic friendly, local service – and immediately felt so relaxed. There were bar snacks written up on a chalk board including a scotch egg, mini pies & scratchings, and a great list of beers & ales, and of course a wide selection of wines both by the glass & the bottle.
Here is what I ate!
Cider glazed pork cheek, celeriac fondue, pancetta & cider foam:
Fillet Steak, Wild mushrooms, Bearnaise sauce & triple cut chips:
Trebys Gone Bananas: What a spectacular desert! It arrived as a large bowl of foliage from the garden, with dry ice poured over – creating a swampy steamy feeling – the carrot cake itself was served in a flower pot with popping candy, carrot cake & a cheesecake layer! Image from the website:

Dorian Glynnett
An average looking man in his thirties with haunted eyes and a determined set to his jaw. He wears a much used tattered leather overcoat and hat. Dorian has a large black raven named Kaw for a pet that seems smarter than it should be.
At 36 years old Dorian has a very weathered and seasoned look about him. He is fond of wearing avery used leather overcoat and hat that most would have thrown out a long time ago. He is a man of few words, but one that approaches every situation with a cold calculation that seems to border on the uncaring. Dorian's personality has been shaped by the horrors and fighting he has seen while serving in Irori's faithful ranks at the dreaded Worldwound. Boorn a poor farmer's child from Taldor, he seemed to be drawn to the simple life of a monk. As part of his training he and his brothers traveled almost two thousand miles to help hold back the advancing demon hordes. While there he began dabling in arcane magic as an added weapon against the relentless enemy. He soon gave up the life of a monk and focused on expanding his magical knowledge. After a particularly bloody battle in which his magus mentor and his fellow brother monks all died very gruesomly and he only just barely survived (a cowardly act that haunts him still) Dorian left the Worldwound and came once more through the River Kingdoms. He ran into a woman named Amorra he had met briefly before in a single night of passion, who was a local of Restov to the north. He also discovered their brief meeting years before had resulted in him having a son he didn't know about. Amorra asked him to come to Restov with her, to be a family and put the horrors of the Worldwound behind him, but Dorian was a haunted man still and could not agree. She left without him, and now almost a year has passed. Dorian has lost his faith in Irori and the other Gods. The scholars believe the Worldwound was caused by the death of a fellow diety. He believes the Gods could close it if they wished, but like to use mortals as pawns to do their dirty work. So much wasteful death is not necessary, but amusing to them. Dorian is sick of war and fighting. He feels that perhapse it is finally time for him to settle down and be at peace. So he made the long journey north to Restov with a merchant caravan to seek out Amorra and his son, but discovered she and the boy had traveled east into the 'Stolen Lands' as new settlers. Someplace called Varnhold.

Sorry, no etymologies found.
The action current in the nerve _is from the relatively more excited to the relatively less excited_.
The word excited does not even begin to describe how I feel about one day viewing a film based on Hamid's literary masterpiece, which still haunts my dreams with its bewildering final chapter.
E. Nina Rothe: Doha Tribeca Film Fest 2011: Nadine Labaki's Latest, Antonio Banderas, and the Wonder of Black Gold
Noone, manager of psychiatric intensive care at the Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam, B.C., says the use of the term excited delirium when describing cause of death can result in the deceased being labelled as the culprit.
The prospect of taking over the title excited Jake Critelli, a twin, who said it would make the students 'senior year a little more interesting than previous classes.
Grandson just turned eleven, to say he was excited is an understatement.
This unusual posture again excited suspicion, and the animal sidled mincingly away.
I worked the polls for the primary, and the only people who came in excited were older white women and minority women.
Of all the cool new stuff that came out of New York Comic Con this past week (god if only I could have been there), the thing that has me the most excited is a line of highly detailed Ghostbuster figures from Mattel.
The second reason why I am so excited is Stampin 'Up announced a new Color Renovation for the 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog!
Let's be honest, here; The only reason people are excited is because they get to see a Freddy who is a return to form from his "Bugs Bunny with claws" persona, AND he gets to kill these fresh-faced teenagers in some fun, new ways.

Cave Creek's Cave Creek Museum
The Cave Creek Museum works to preserve old west artifacts; it features "prehistory and pioneer, mining and ranching histories of the foothills area." Although the season to visit ends in May, the need for community support through donations is year-round.
Many of the new exhibits that are shown during next season are restored during the summer, while the museum is not open to the public. Continual maintenance is necessary on the current display pieces, such as the Historic First Church of Cave Creek and the ten-stamp mill which are shown outdoors.
While the restoration of the Historic First Church of Cave Creek was completed in 1988, it is currently in need of some touch-ups. Evelyn Johnson, the Executive Director for the museum, has taken note of the wall boards, which need to be redone with repainting included.
One of their more recent restoration projects, an old ten-stamp mill from the Golden Reef Mine in Cave Creek was initiated three to four years ago. However there are some parts like a back-up battery that are needed and unfortunately the $5,800 needed to complete the restoration could not be covered in their current budget.
Inside, there is a small woven basket which cannot be taken off of display until the necessary restoration is complete. The piece was scheduled to be taken out of the display for maintenance, but the basket itself could not withstand removal from the support of the display.
There are visible signs of deterioration on the side of the basket, where it has broken off and been sewn back together. This too requires further attention.
In a storage room, there are many new pieces that have yet to be restored at all. To keep them safe, special paper, boxes, and bags are used for storage. The tissue paper alone costs around $280 a roll and only lasts six months. One can only imagine how much paper was used, as the room is stacked to the ceiling with new items waiting for their turn at resoration and display.
By the ten-stamp mill outside, there is a sign that reads "donations accepted." With the museum volunteers active over the summer working to prepare for re-opening to the public in October, right now is the time when donations are very important. Your help and support are vital to the preservation of our history.
If you can help, please send your donation to Cave Creek Museum, P.O. Box 1, Cave Creek, AZ 85327 or donate online at CaveCreekMuseum.org.

How was your Christmas??
Mine was so wonderful, seriously wonderful. I love spending time with my families!
I grew up living very close to my aunts and cousins so holidays were always filled with arguments, fighting, and stress. Although, I miss my cousins with all my heart- its pretty nice to spend time with just my immediate family.
I also love being with my husband's family! This was my fourth Christmas with them, and seriously it's like I've been a part of the family all along. I feel very lucky to be a part of their family.
For Blake and I, the Christmas season starts on Christmas Eve with a big family dinner and gift exchange at his Grandma's house. The whole family is always there, and we have delicious, delicious prime rib…its such a great time.
After dinner we had a gift exchange where we had previously drawn someone's name and one of those Chinese Gift Exchange type gift exchanges. It's always fun to watch people's gifts get stolen and traded.
Christmas morning is spent with Blake's parents, his sister, and her boyfriend. The last few years we have spent the night at their house to make things easier, but next year we will live a lot close to them!
I feel so blessed because the one "big thing" I still wanted to get for the baby's room was a glider rocker, like this one.
I'm so thankful! I can't wait to rock the baby to sleep in her quite room, in this super comfy chair. Its going to be so wonderful. My goal this weekend is to get the one last piece of furniture that needs painted done!
After all the fun was had, we loaded up the car to head home because I had to cook big dinner for my family! I LOVE cooking Christmas dinner! This is my third year cooking for my family and it was by far the best!
We had turkey, ham (using this crock pot method), garlic mash potatoes with turkey gravy, layered sweet potatoes, stuffing, corn, green beans, and rolls. Plus I made two pumpkin pies!
Ok, I was super proud of my beautiful roasted turkey! Sure it was a little over cooked, but still delicious. I rubbed the outside with a little mix of olive oil, fresh "poultry" herbs, salt and pepper – which I blended in to a pesto of sorts and Inside was a honeycrisp apple and a lemon. It really turned out great. And for the first time ever I used the drippings to make gravy which was big hit with everyone!
We have tons of turkey leftover so we are going to be picking it off the bones and making some freezer meals for when the baby comes! I'm thinking some turkey chili, turkey noodle soup, and rice casserole!
Presents with my family is so much fun because my brother has little kids! AH! Kids are just too fun! As a family "us kids" got my mom a Kindle Fire and she loved it! She was just as excited as the kids! Once she opened that thing she was zoned in!
My niece Evelynn playing with Uncle Tommy!
Then we took our family picture!
What good lookin' family! Well except the one on the end, but we don't claim him very often.
Our Christmas was a huge success! Although by the end of the night, I was exhausted. A busy Christmas day at 8 months pregnant is like running a 8 miles…afterwards I had to take an ice bath for my feet and ankles. In fact, I'm still a little sore today.
But I'll take the soreness right along with the amazing family! Love them all!
Tell me about your Christmas! Leave a link if you wrote about it!

It is that time of the year when most of the people are planning to take some time out and go on a long motorcycle trip. At this time the roads to the ultimate destinations like Manali, Rohtang, Spiti and Ladakh get flooded with bikers from around the world. In this mob of bikers there are some who have been traveling on their motorcycles for long time, while few of them are new to this experience and have limited knowledge about motorcycle trips. This article is for those amateur riders who don't want to miss a thing while planning their first long motorcycle trip.
1) Check the quality of tires-
The first and the most important thing to consider when planning a multi day motorcycle trip is the quality of tire fitted on your motorcycle currently. If you think the treads on the rubbers are near to the "worn out" state, then it is better to change the tire set. It will reduce the chances of you getting halt at unwanted places due to punctures and it will also add to the safety point of view. The new set of tires can be chosen depending upon the weather conditions and route state of the journey.
2) Equip your motorcycle with a GPS device-
There are times when we take the directions less traveled, paths without landmarks or signs on it. Sometimes people end up at places where human density is next to zero, they can't find a milestone or someone to guide them through. At that time a GPS device proves to be the best friend. Not only it make sure they don't get lost, it will also cut the time they spend searching for a right direction.
3) Install a mobile charger on your motorcycle-
It is important that your communication device stays on throughout the time of your journey. The charger can be directly installed connecting to the voltage output from the battery of the motorcycle. Just to inform you, it will void the warranty of you motorcycle in case you vehicle is still in warranty period, but on the other hand you won't have to worry about waiting at a "dhaba" to charge your mobile or your GPS device.
4) Install Panniers-
The Panniers should be fitted in such a way that the weight distribution on the motorcycle should remain even on both the sides. In case the motorcycle weighs more on a single side it will lead to uneven balancing of the motorcycle and it will only make the journey harder. One more point to be added here is that, the entire luggage should be contoured in such a way that there's nothing left for you to carry on your back. Not even a lightest bag. You should be free to move on the bike without any weight on.
5) Carry a physical map-
I agree that everyone uses the digital GPS devices whenever planning a trip, but that doesn't mean that it won't leave them stranded in middle of nowhere. There are certain locations where GPS won't work and you will be left without any clue of your location. In case the GPS unit goes down, the physical map will help you out and make sure you learn how to read a map before leaving.
6) Carry cash-
There are some remote places in which your card won't work and you will find yourself in a sticky situation. In order to avoid that make sure that you carry decent amount of cash in your pocket and you won't have to bribe someone to open early, stay late, or help you out in whatever dilemma you've gotten yourself into.
7) Servicing -
On the long trip motorcycles are bound to be ridden for long hours without proper rest and it pushes them to the limits. Your ride needs to be fully serviced before you decide to start the journey, if your motorcycle is not fully serviced yet don't hurry in the excitement of the trip. Feed your bike some oil and make sure everything is next to perfect on the motorcycle.
8) Other important things to carry along-
Everything on the list above is important but there are few more things that are of the equal importance that we will mention in this last point. Things like your motorcycle's documents, a complete first-aid kit, a torch, emergency contact numbers and a basic service-tool kit should be carried along. If possible then write your blood-group type on your helmet as well as on your bike.

Other info that may be of help; last night before shut down it did some windows ups dates, so I was wondering if there is any way that I do can a windows repair and see what would happen. Just a thought. I know specs of the machine would help you but I just can't think right now. Lets see, it's running windows xp 32bit version, 500GB Seasgate hard drive, ASUS motherboard, and a Raden HD 4650 graphics card. That's all I can think of right now. Please help! thanks
A little bit of an update, I ran the Seagate SeaTools for DOS and it's saying No Hard drives found. Any ideas? Also I opened the tower casing and made sure all cables were setted right and unconnected and reconncected them to make sure. Then rebooted and ran the Seatools again and got the same info.

A beautiful nurse, a handsome recluse and an evil PI equals one deadly adventure.
When palliative care nurse Rhianna McLeod is given a gift of a dream holiday to the Bahamas from her dying patient, billionaire JT Lance, Rhianna has no idea that her 'holiday' will include being stranded on a private island with Jonathan, an irritating but irresistibly handsome recluse. Or that she'll fall head over heels for the man.
Jonathan isn't happy to discover a drop-dead gorgeous redhead has invaded his island. But his anger soon turns to attraction. After one failed marriage, he has guarded his heart, but Rhianna's sudden appearance makes him yearn to throw caution to the wind.
To live fully in the present, Rhianna must resolve her own murky past, unravel the secret that haunts JT, foil the plans of a sleazy, blackmailing private investigator and help Jonathan find his muse. Only then can Rhianna find the love she's been searching for, and finally become...Lancelot's Lady.

That's it for now. The weather prognosticators are calling for a summer stew over the next couple of days in Nashville, so the ESX show floor will be the place to be. See you out there …
LAS VEGAS—In an effort to bring VSaaS to the masses and IP to everyone, IP video provider Axis Communications, VMS provider Salient Systems and storage and server company Hewlett-Packard on June 6 announced a Video Surveillance as a Service solution.
In an effort to bring VSaas to the masses and IP to everyone, IP video provider Axis Communications, VMS provider Salient Systems and storage and server company Hewlett Packard today announced a Video Surveillance as a Service solution.
I spoke to Scott Dunn, Axis' director of business development for North America, this afternoon about the deal. Salient adapted and integrated its enterprise VMS solution for Axis' "one click camera connection" to stream video from IP cameras and encoders to remotely housed hosted servers from HP.
Dunn said Salient's VMS "has dynamic resolution scalling to serve up video and live feed in a thumbnail [view], which allows you to see a lot of feeds very efficiently .. and with efficient bandwidth usage."
"Ultimately, we want to deliver solutions to the integrator that will drive RMR for them, so … working with world-class partners [such as Salient and HP], we can deliver a total solution to integrators … that's cost effective and can be easily installed," Dunn said. "And they can sell it as a service solution very much like the alarm industry [has been doing with monitoring services] for years," he added.
So what's the difference between this marketing agreement and the deal announced at ISC West 2011 between Axis and EMC? They're both aimed at making hosted video a reality for applications small and big, but there are some other differences.
For one, Salient adapted its VMS for this solution. However, "the main difference is that EMC is hosting the video in its own data center," Axis' Domenic Locapo said. "HP is bringing [the solution] to its biggest hosting partners to do the actual hosting," he added.
How do integrators choose? Axis is providing best-of-breed options. It's a matter of what works best for a particular integrator and application, Dunn said.
Dunn said Axis' central theme this year is: "IP for everyone … affordable, quality, IP solutions for every class of user." He said a "cloud deployment allows everyone cost-effectively [to have] benefits of IP including HD, mobility, scalability." The announcement was made today at an HP partner event in Las Vegas (called HP Discover 2012). Dunn said that in contrast to fears several years ago that IT companies would take business away from physical security integrators, this deal shows that IT and physical security collaborations mean more business for both professions.
Getting ready today (Monday) to leave for ISC West--the three-day show that gets longer every year. I'm arriving Tuesday afternoon and have several meetings and events before the show floor even opens. I'm not complaining—I'm actually looking forward to these events.
Our newswire will go out as usual on Thursday morning, but Tess, Rich, Whit (managing editor of our sister pub Security Director News) and I will be tweeting from the show and updating our blogs daily, so go to the SSN and SDN homepages throughout the show to catch up on what we're seeing at at the show
Today and tomorrow are the classic days for industry announcements, though folks, believe me, they are the worst days for company announcements. (I am complaining now.) I'm generally at the Portland airport when I see that something newsworthy has broken. It's a bad time to announce news. Everyone is traveling, so the news gets missed—by reporters and readers alike. Or it gets buried in news that was released and written in advance.
Of course, sometimes there's news that you're obliged to put out for one reason or another, but you really don't want it reported. If that's your situation, put that press release out Wednesday morning about 10 a.m. as the ISC West show floor is opening. It'll get stomped on—at least for a little while.
So this is what the beginning of my show looks like: On Tuesday, after an on-time landing, I'll be meeting with some folks about the ESX show (Nashville in June), heading to a SecuritySpecifiers.com event, checking out an Altronix press conference, swinging by the Women's Security Council reception at Pinot Brasserie, and then going to another industry reception/dinner. See you in the hallways running from event to event.
For me, Wednesday morning will begin with the Axis Breakfast. I'm no fan of breakfasts before the show, but I make an exception for this annual early rally. Axis generally does a good job of keeping it short, informative and lively, and making execs available—plus they've made some interesting announcements in recent days which I'm eager to learn more about.
When the showfloor opens at 10 on Wednesday, Tess, Rich, Whit and I will be at our booth (27065) for an hour of "Meet the Editors". Please stop by and say hi.
I've got a couple booth visits and a press conference, after which time I'll be moderating the WSC educational session "Sell yourself, but don't sell yourself short." Going to be an interesting discussion, plan to stop by.
Between booth visits, I'll be interviewing Tammee Thompson—who on March 21 was named vice president and general manager, global security and fire for Johnson Controls on March 21; Niall Jenkins from IMS (which was acquired last week by IHS); Carey Boethel and Ken Francis, who a couple of weeks ago launched Securadyne, and PSA Security's Sharon Shaw.
There's much more, but you'll have to check back here for details.
One more thing, there's still time to sign up for the Security 5k. Run for fun and make a difference in a needy child's life.
Check back here for more from ISC West 2012.
DELRAY BEACH, Fla.—Speaking about the future of mobile apps at the TechSec conference on Feb. 7, Fredrik Nilsson GM of Axis Communications recalled a keynote address that he delivered at the first TechSec conference in 2005.

Sub Topics
As a child many have difficulty to understand maths. It may be due to the lack of common sense. There is a way through which the children can love maths by providing it the knowledge of numbers using real world examples. This is all about the Number sense.
What is Number Sense?Back to Top
Number sense is an ability to do a work without going to traditional work algorithm. It is a defined framework, which helps people to understand the Numbers, their relationship and provide the ability to solve the mathematical problems without following any specific rules. Number sense helps to think and reason flexibly with numbers, use numbers to solve problems, spot unreasonable answers, understand how numbers can be taken apart and put together in different ways, figure mentally, and make reasonable estimates.
It involves the following process:
- Estimating helps in real approximations of facts
- Judging the degree of accuracy
- Rounding the large numbers
- Measurement degree of facts
- Comparison measurement.
It helps in calculating the real facts in easy and in effective manner by using the real experiences. Number sense gives a way of understanding the things quickly by thinking of the pre images or pre calculations as they helps a lot in fast calculations.
Number Sense DefinitionBack to Top
Number sense can be defined as the subject which deals with sensing of numbers, by visualizing and it in real world and understanding. It is a concept where people connect the numbers with their real life experiences. It is a process of learning rather than following the rules or methods or putting direct instructions.
For example: A number six which shows on a dice as two groups of three dots means three puts three become six. This type of calculation in mind helps the children to maximize their memory power.
Number Sense have many advantages:
It helps in increasing the memory power with the speed of calculation power. It can understand by a fact that a thing which is seeing is much more understandable than a thing which is counted or calculated. It helps the students in three ways as follows.
· It helps the students to pick a new strategy.
· It motivates the teacher to find the type of thinking that is used and also the level of difficulty that is selected.
· It helps the persons to learn according to their own thinking.
For example a three digit number like 543 is more understandable if we divide it in two parts as 500 and 43.

Satisfy Your Taste Buds with Latvian Food!
Great part of travelling is tasting local food. And yes, traditional food tells also a lot about people and even history! Latvian cuisine has been heavily influenced by German, Swedish, and Russian cuisine. Latvian food tends to be hearty and uses few spices: red meat – a lot of meet, pork, creamy sauces, fish (as we have such a long coast of the Baltic Sea), dark rye bread and vegetables, and musrooms! Latvians are crazy about mushrooms and picking mushrooms in the woods is kind of traditional sport from July till October. Latvians also eat lots of potatoes and call them "the second bread". Which is the first bread? Dark rye bread. I don't think you have to try it all, but there is a list for you to choose! (The list will be fulfilled)
Dark Rye Bread – rupjmaize. Latvian meals are always served with bread of some type – usually dark bread – it's the national staple. People eat it with potatoes, soups, jams, butter, cheese, salad... Acutually with almost everything. Latvians treat food, especially bread, with great respect ― because we know it's not something that can be taken for granted and if the slice of bread falls on a floor, Latvian will kiss it when picking up.
Grey Peas with Bacon – zirņi ar speķi. A typical, truly Latvian, dish - boiled grey peas with small snippets of bacon: grey peas, smoked or unsmoked bacon, onion and salt. Especially popular for Christmas table.
Bacon Buns - pīrāgi, speķa pīrāgi. Pastry filled with bacon and onions. These buns can be used as appetizers, as part of a light lunch (with, say, a cup of bouillon), or as part of a party table. They are best straight from the oven. Christmas, Midsummer's night – you can not celebrate these days without bacon buns.
Jānis' Cheese – Jāņu siers. Jānis is the most popular boys name in Latvia. Jāņi - the celebration of the summer solstice, magical midsummers night.This special cheese is a must for celebration of summer solstice. Great on bread, great without bread. At midsummers night great with beer - these two are the most important things on the table at the summer solstice. It looks round and yellow – like the sun. Without the sun we have no food, that's the reason a lot of Latvian traditions are connected with the sun – and we still keep these traditions. Real solstice cheese. is prepared in a household, it varies in its consistency from soft to hard, with caraway seeds or without them. If you wish to store the cheese for a longer period - rub with salt, wrap in paper and store in a cool, dry place.
Herring in a Jacket - siļķe kažokā. It's not only Latvian, but very popular here. It has salted herring, boiled carrots & beetroots, cucumbers, potatoes, boiled eggs, sour cream or mayonaise. Salt, sugar, onions, green peas can be also added.
Sklandrauši. I have no idea how to translate it, maybe vegetable tarts or type of bun - traditionally baked in Kurzeme, Latvia's western region. Sklandrauši can be baked with only the potato or only the carrot filling.
Traditional Drinks
Beer (alus) - whether dark or light, bitter or sweet. And there are a lot of good local beers: Cēsu, Aldaris, Valmiermuiža, Užavas and more...
Birch juice (Bērzu sula) - either fresh or fermented, has always been a natural and healthy drink for Latvians in early spring and in the heat of the summer. Nowadays birch juices are prepared with lemon and orange rind, raisins, cinnamon etc. Exactly – we get it from birch trees in early spring.
Kvass - made from grains in the early stages of fermentation.
Riga Black Balsam - a thick, black alcoholic liquid which has been produced since 1700. The exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, but some of the ingredients include ginger, oak bark, bitter orange peel and cognac. It is drunk with coffee, tee, blackcurrant juice or pure. Strong drink and the best medicine to stay healty on winter. It doesn't mean you have to drink it all the time, just add it to your morning coffe.• One of the most popular souveniers from Latvia.
Herbal Teas - picking herbs and drying them for tea is also very popular in Latvia and as ecological products right now is a trend it get's more and more popular. You just have to know the right herbs, dry them correctly and use – yes, it's a great help for health – just find out which problems can be solved with which herbs. The most popular ones – linden, camomile, peppermint, wild strawberries, marigolds, meadowsweets, cornflowers...

The Cougars Disappoint, Again
So far this year, the Cougars' football season has been like peeling an onion. You continue to tear off layer after layer, until you're left weeping over the sink.
There has been a minimal amount of highs to go with the seemingly infinite amount of lows for the Cougar football program, and this past Saturday was no different.
The Cougars traveled to Phoenix to take on the Sun Devils in match up of two struggling teams. The Cougars took the cake in the struggling department, losing badly in a 46-7 beating.
The Cougars have been defeated emotionally and physically all year, and after a surprising comeback that fell short against UCLA, they may not have any fight left in the tank.
First Half Blunders
For the third straight week, the Cougars were down by a deficit of at least 30 points going into the half.
They started the game off with a bang, fumbling the punt on their opening drive to set up a 21-yard field goal for Arizona State.
The Sun Devils were on a 4-game losing streak, in which their quarterback Taylor Kelly threw 7 interceptions.
The Cougars must have felt bad for Kelly – considering they allowed him to throw for 246 and 4 touchdowns. They also surrendered a total of 561 yards to the Sun Devils, and got little help from their offense to battle back.
The running game was once again a major success, gaining a total of 1 yard on 19 carries.
The rushing production has yet to exist all season, and this game was no different.
Unfortunately, with the dismissal of Marquess Wilson, the Pac-12's top passing offense was held to 240 yards – 137 below its season average.
Jeff Tuel and Connor Halliday both participated in this week's edition of "name that quarterback" and both failed miserably.
Tuel had his worst game of the season, throwing for 67 yards on 8 of 16 passing attempts with an interception.
Halliday did little to counter Tuel, adding 173 yards on 13 of 33 passing attempts with an interception and a late touchdown pass in garbage time.
Signs of a Defeated Team
The week prior to the Arizona State trip, the Cougars had a heartbreaking loss to the UCLA Bruins.
The game was thought to be another blowout, trailing big at half time. But the Cougars showed an immense amount of heart, battling back against the top-ranked Bruins and brought it to a one-possession game. Unfortunately, their efforts fell short and UCLA came out on top 44-36.
That seemed to be the final breath from the Cougars' lungs.
After the impressive battle, there was a hint of optimism for the Cougar faithful with a possible momentum ride heading into Saturday.
That hint was immediately washed away when the Cougars took the field.
The opening drive leading to a punt – which was fumbled – just put a dagger in the hearts of any remaining fans with a hope for another victory this season.
The Cougars are bad, and they seem to be getting worse.
This is by far not what any fans had predicted or hoped for, and is going to leave Mike Leach with several questions to answer this coming off-season.
Potential Silver Lining
Despite the tumultuous season, every Cougar fan has the same feeling in their heart. If they Cougars come out victorious in the Apple Cup, it will be a desperately needed silver lining for the 2012 campaign.
Prior to the season the Apple Cup was expected to be a shootout between two competitive programs on the rise.
Now, with the game just ahead, it seems to be an expected blowout between one team that is picking up speed and another that has lost their keys.
The Huskies are coming into Pullman as the nation's 25th ranked team.
They have won 4-straight, and look to add a fifth to the streak before the season's end.
The home-field advantage goes to the Cougars – yet because of terrible scheduling – the game is falling on the Friday afternoon after Thanksgiving.
Considering the majority of WSU students don't actually hail from Pullman, there is a good possibility the turnout won't be as strong as it should be.
Nevertheless, the Cougars have had their backs against the wall all season and have yet to respond.
I will be in the stands this Friday, hoping for some sort of silver lining in this painful season.

Cafe MedinaPosted: 06/18/2012 Filed under: Breakfast/Brunch, Coffee/Tea, European, Gastown, Vancouver | Tags: Chai, food, Fricasse, Gastown, Hot Chocolate, Paella, Saumon Fume, Stadium Station Leave a comment
I don't remember when Cynthia and I talked about going to Medina for brunch, but it was certainly a while ago– probably sometime back in January. Anyways, for some reason or another (craziness of school, craziness of work, craziness of life in general), we had to keep postponing our date– but with the end of finals in April, and a lighter course load in the summer, we were finally able to meet up for some much-needed catch up time.
Of course, a brunch trip would be incomplete without Darek; if it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have met Cynthia in the first place (ah, the joys [?] of math tutor…). So we drove over to the Gastown restaurant (kind of misleading to me, since it's actually right by Stadium Station and nowhere near the Steam Clock) on a Friday morning, parked at the meter (which promptly stole Darek's toonie), and put our name down for a table for 3.
I was worried that we would have to wait a long time for a table, since there were at least 3 other groups ahead of us, and the storefront looked quite small (and full). Silly me, I didn't realize that there was more seating in the back of the building, which was spacious and bright, with high ceilings and big windows. After a wait of about 15 minutes, a waitress brought us to our table, where we eagerly perused the menu.
We ordered our drinks first: for Darek, an Americano; for Cynthia, a Chai; and for myself, a large Hot Chocolate. The Americano was "good"– the perfect pick-me-up for Darek, who honestly looked pretty dead when we were waiting outside. The coffee smelled and tasted really pleasant, and we liked that the half-and-half was served on the side. Cynthia's Chai was presented with a foam leaf on top; this was so pretty, she barely wanted to drink from it, and insisted (jokingly) that we could only drink from the stem. Her cup of tea was cinnamony and flavourful, and is certainly just as good as, if not better than, the chai I had at Aphrodite's Cafe. Her only qualm was that it was smaller than what she wanted– our waiter didn't confirm the size she wanted with her. I was surprised that my Hot Chocolate came with a foam leaf as well– it was nice to see that they put the effort into all their drinks. My cup was appropriately hot and sweet, and I felt that the price I paid ($3.25) wasn't too unreasonable.
And now, onto the food! Darek, being a meat-lover, ordered the Fricassé— applewood smoked cheddar melted over a mix of braised short ribs, roasted potatoes, watercress, caramelized onions, finished off with two sunny-side-up eggs and julienned granny smith apples. In general, Darek thought that the ingredients weren't anything special when eaten separately– for example, the green apple slices were too sour, and the short ribs were a little on the dry side (perhaps they were overcooked?); meanwhile, the eggs and potatoes, while good, were fairly standard. It was when he took a balanced mouthful that all the flavours worked together– the tartness was balanced by sweetness from the onions and saltiness from the short ribs and sauce, and the crispness of the watercress complemented the runny eggs, the crunch of the apples and the softness of the potatoes. With the exception of the cheese, which he could have done without, Darek ended up really enjoying his dish– so much so that he was using the small piece of foccacia to mop up all the sauce on the plate!
Cynthia's Saumon Fume, served on an open-faced ciabatta bun, was quite different from what I expected. I thought that there would be slices of the usual cedar plank smoked salmon you could find at the supermarkets, with salad served on the side– I couldn't be any more wrong! Instead, the salmon was actually flaked and mixed with a creamy, lemon-dill sauce, making it look somewhat like a less-pungent tuna fish sandwich. The salad of arugula, cherry tomatoes and a strong and tart vinaigrette was placed on top of one of the pieces of bread, and not in a side dish; meanwhile, a sliced avocado half and a fried egg sat atop the other. Since it was so beautifully presented, Cynthia ate this sandwich using a knife and fork (how ladylike!), so that the ingredients wouldn't fall out of the sandwich. This way too, she was able to grab a little bit of everything– a sliver of egg, a square of avocado, some greens along with the bread and salmon– so that each bite was jam-packed with flavour. While the portion looked a little small at first, Cynthia found that it was actually the perfect size, and by the end of the meal was quite full– not a bad deal for $12! Her only problem with her meal was that her knife wasn't nearly sharp enough to cut through the bread, so it did get a little messy. Maybe we'll ask for a steak knife next time…
For myself, I had the Paella, which was a curried orzo dish mixed with corn niblets, pieces of zucchini, tomatoes, Hungarian chorizo sausage, red peppers and grana padano cheese. This pasta-y mixture was then finished off with a spicy tomato stew, a baked egg, some pieces of avocado and a ton of watercress. Having never had raw bunches of raw watercress before (I've had it in tea sandwiches, but in that case the cucumber tends to overpower the other ingredients), I was very pleased with the taste– it definitely wasn't as bitter as I thought it would be. Besides that, the mingling of the curry and tomato stew along with the lemony avocado (I'm guessing to keep them from browning? But it tasted really good) made for a very delicious dish– and a very filling one too. I really struggled to finish my portion, and I was pretty hungry that day too.
Unfortunately, we were all too full to try out their liege waffles– but maybe that's a good thing, since it meant that we got our money's worth! For about $15 each, there was a ton of great food, and while it may have been a little on the pricey side for lunch after our drinks, tax and tip (I usually spend less than $10… but then most of my lunches are eaten at school), I would certainly return in the future. In general, I found that while the staff was a little aloof at times, the atmosphere and food more than made up for it, so that my experience was on the whole a great one. Thanks for the recommendation, Cynthia!

China News Digest (Global Service) <email@example.com>
From: CND-Global Editors <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Organization: China News Digest (CND)
Subject: CND-Global, February 9, 2001 (GL01-018)
To: email@example.com
[CND, 02/08/01] Andy XIE, economist of the Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, predicted that the Chinese economy could cross the US$10 trillion mark within 15 years, as a result of current restructuring programs and the implementation of institutions that support the market economy.
It will probably take place within two decades and could happen in
15 years, Mr. Xie said.
He noted that the U.S. economy passed the US$10 trillion mark in 2000,
he said. Last year, the Chinese economy reached US$1
However, we believe that China will be the next economy
to reach US$10 trillion in today's dollar terms, Mr. Xie
We believe that China's restructuring is real and is greatly
facilitated by the application of information technology.
Information technology will be an important factor in helping to create an efficient tax-based system, he said. In addition, China's size, high savings rate and low initial base will help to spur its growth.
Reporting on China's potential for growth, Mr. Xie argued that the
path to becoming a so-called
middle income economy by 2020 was
a convergence of high economic growth rates together with real
currency appreciation over a period of a decade or more.
In contrast, poorer countries require undervalued currencies in order to offset their economies' structural inefficiencies and the high demand for jobs relative to supply.
When restructuring has removed most inefficiencies and the
employment rate is sufficiently high, a developing economy will become
a converging economy, Mr. Xie said.
Mr. Xie expects that China will experience an even faster rate of convergence during the period from 2005 to 2020 than did Japan during its economic expansion from 1955 to 1974. In contrast to Japan, China also understands the importance of sharing the benefits of its growth with the global community, in order to better align international interests for its development.
One step towards sharing these benefits would be China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO). Currently, multinationals control about 10 percent of China's economy. This figure could reach 20 percent by 2006.
However, Mr. Xie also noted that there are factors that will work against this development prognosis, such as social instability, government corruption, environmental problems, and containment by developed nations.
Investors trying to understand when China's economy would take off should wait for China's entry into the WTO, Mr. Xie said. The next milestone to watch for would be the separation of businesses and government. (Laurel Mittenthal, WU Yiyi)

Celebrities Race to Support Pediatric Cancer Research at Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach
2011-08-01 · By Editor
On July 23rd, nearly a dozen celebrities strapped on helmets and raced a fully stocked NASCAR in the 2nd Annual "Kids Against Cancer" Night at the Toyota Speedway at Irwindale. More than 100 patients and families from the Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Center (JJCCC) at Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach came to the event where proceeds from ticket sales and a silent auction of sports memorabilia benefited pediatric cancer research. JJCCC at Miller Children's was amongst the beneficiaries of the event and three of the patients even got a chance to act as grand marshals of the race.
This year's participants included local news meterologists, Dallas Raines, Jessica Holmes and Mark Kriski. Actors William Fichtner, Frankie Muniz and Mark-Paul Gosselaar were joined by Skeet Ulrich, Kim Coates, Peter Shinkoda and Christopher Knight in the celebrity race. The nearly sold-out event had fans on their feet for a close finish by winner, William Fichtner and Frankie Munez, who came in second.
"On behalf of Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach and the patients from the Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Center, we thank Toyota for their partnership and continued support for treatment and research of pediatric cancer," says Amanda Termuhlen, M.D., medical director, JJCCC.
About Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Center:
The Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Center (JJCCC) at Miller Children's Hospital Long Beach provides quality, compassionate care to children with cancer, sickle cell disease and other serious blood disorders. The Center is known for its comprehensive psychosocial programs and multi-disciplinary approach to patient care. An emphasis on integrating new research efforts into treatment plans allows patients access to leading therapies.

Up first, we each talk about our favorite father-son work of literature. Rider goes Searching for Bobby Fischer, Julia embraces a Long Day's Journey and Tod heads to Empire Falls.

I was so chuffed to get a Top 3 placement from Stamping Sensations for my last card, maybe I should harness my pmt grungy, messy creativity more often!
Fairies & Fantasy is not one of my favourite themes if i'm honest with you. I don't think i'm very good at it. Despite that i'm reasonably happy with this week's card. I love the black & white combination & I love that I used a piece of a very old 6x6 paper pad as well as an embellishment (that wee swirly bit in the corner) that I have owned for donkey's years. A very old donkey at that!
If you're better than me at fairies & fantasy creations, we'd love to have you playing along this week at Sweet Stampin'. Do pop over, the girls have made fabulous inspirations for you.
While I'm around, i'll play in a challenge or two:
A bit more time to Craft - Anything Goes
Simply Papercrafts - Anything Goes
Thanks so much for popping by!

Part I
Valerie J. Thompson
At the request of CeCe Moore, Your Genetic Genealogist, I have been researching Proctor ancestors in Kentucky. You can read about her family at http://mytangledvine.blogspot.com Much of the Proctor research has been previously based on The Proctor Connection, by Shirley Bodersen Ross, 1978. I will share some of my additional findings here.
Nicholas Proctor, Revolutionary War soldier was born about 1756 in Brunswick, Virginia. The pension application papers for Nicholas and his widow, Catherine, can be viewed on Ancestry.com "U.S. Revolutionary Pension and Bounty-Land Warrant Applications 1800-1900". A transcription of his pension declaration can be read at http://revwarapps.org/w8537.pdf There are more to the papers than just the declaration of his service.
Nicholas Proctor migrated to Kentucky prior to statehood, and lived at Fort Boonesborough. He married Rachel Wright Estill, widow of Captain James Estill, one of Kentucky's earliest heroes, who died in an Indian skirmish, known as Estill's Defeat, 22 March 1782.
Madison County, Kentucky Court Order Book A, page 83
27th March 1788 at court held for the County of Madison"Ordered that Thomas Shelton, James French, and William Irvin be appointed to settle with Nicholas Proctor and Rachel, his wife, as Administrator to the estate of James Estill deceased and that they make thereof to the next Court."
Captain James Estill left a will and Rachel was to receive the 1000 acre plantation known as 'Locust Thicket', the slaves, and half the personal property. You can read Captain James Estill's will in my previous post http://vjthompson.blogspot.com/2013/09/will-of-captain-james-estill-1781.html
Was this the plantation story passed down through the family of Ephraim Proctor?
"Our grandfather Ephraim Proctor was born in Kentucky, Feb 20, 1822 on his father's plantation. Ephraim's father owned slaves, but the slaves were freed before the Civil War. I understood however they never left the plantation having no place to go and also because they were well treated. [I sure wish I knew if this was true.] - My Tangled Vine, "Amanuensis Monday: Letter from My Great Aunt Cleo, 1990"- posted Monday, February 21, 2011
James Estill also owned lots in the Town of Boonesborough, as did Nicholas Proctor (Fig, 6 William Calk's map of the town lots of Boonesborough, page 17; key to lots page 25, Searching for Boonesborough by Archeaologist, Nancy O'Malley, 1989)
" Memorandum of Certificates of which Daniel Boone was robbed on the night of the 20th of
March 1780", two of which belonged to Nicholas Proctor [Sr] and Nicholas Proctor, Jr., 400 acres each.
Nicholas Proctor, Jr. assigned his 400 acre preemption, Treasury Warrant No. 1941, issued 15th day of 1781, to Matthias Spaw 27th of March 1784, for which Matthias Spaw did receive a land grant. Images of Kentucky Land Records can be viewed at www.sos.ky.gov.
The elder Nicholas Proctor is noted in Madison County, Kentucky Court Order Book B, page 81,
July 1, 1794, "Ordered that Henry Burnham, Sr., Nicholas Proctor, and James Bradley be exempt from county levy by age and infirmity."
Nicholas Proctor, [Jr] is listed on the 1810 Census of Madison County, Kentucky
1 male 10-15, 2 males 16-25, 1 male over 45; 1 female 16-25, and 1 female 45 and over; Slaves 1
November 11, 1814 Nicholas Proctor and Rachel, his wife, convey to Elihu Green 50 Acres on Muddy Creek in Madison County, Kentucky, Deed Book K, page 526
Rachel Wright Estill Proctor died sometime after 1814 and before 25 January 1820.

One of Fiji's biggest domestic competitions, the Battle of the Giants, has concluded with local club Lautoka ending a 30 year drought when they took out the top spot.
Goals from Mohammed Shazeel and Cyrus Singh in extra time sealed the victory against Labasa and earned them the trophy they have not held since defeating Rewa in the BOG final in 1985.
Lautoka President Abdul Kadir was impressed with the team's performance given the limited number of players they had available for the final.
"Some of our boys did not play as Peni Finau was red-carded in the semi-final, Ilaitia Tuilau was injured, and Edward Justin got injured while warming up," he said.
"We had a setback but still we went all out to win," he added.
"I salute my boys for a job well done."
The Battle of the Giants was Lautoka coach Anjinesh Prasad's first time coaching at such a high level tournament, but his clear instructions to the players before the game guided them to victory.
"Just stick to the game plan. You should know what you are doing, support each other, keep the communication going and the result will be on our side," he told them.
Labasa captain Taniela Waqa was proud of the effort put in by his side but believed they lost to the better team on the day.
"We knew it was going to be a tough final," he said.
"We deserved to be here and we gave a good showdown but we could not capitalise on our opportunities and that's football," he added.
"Congratulations to Lautoka for the win."
Shazeel was awarded the player of the final award and Lautoka's Zibraz Saheb earnt himself the player of the tournament award. Golden glove was awarded to Labasa's Akuila Mataisuva and the top goal scorers with five goals each were Labasa's Gabrieli Mataisuva and Labasa's Ravinesh Karan Singh.
The BOG champions only had time for a short celebration, with the Lautoka heroes now turning their focus on the upcoming Inter-District Championship in Suva.

Husam Najm, Ph.D., P.E., is associate professor of civil and environmental engineering at Rutgers and a registered professional engineer in Massachusetts, New York, and California.
Prior to joining Rutgers, he was a senior structural engineer and a technical manager with T.Y. Lin International in Boston, Massachusetts. At T.Y. Lin, Najm had several years of practical experience in prestressed concrete and steel bridge design, in particular, the $12 billion Central Artery/Tunnel Project in Boston. He was involved in all phases of bridge design, detailing, and construction. Recently, he served as a consultant with T.Y. Lin International in San Francisco, to conduct an independent review for design, detailing, and fabrication of a major double-deck truss structure for the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
His work in concrete research, and his applied industry experience, has rendered Najm an expert in the use and understanding of various concrete admixtures. He also has extensive experience in designing, detailing, and construction of pre-tensioned and post-tensioned concrete bridges.
Najm has done computer modeling of bridge structures. He was heavily involved in the seismic design, detailing, and construction of abutments and deep foundations such as steel and concrete piles and larger diameter drilled shafts and worked on a project in which larger diameter drilled shafts were used in a transportation project for the first time in Massachusetts. In addition, Najm has significant experience in experimental work on the properties of high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete. He has authored and coauthored several publications on this subject.
Najm was the principal investigator on two NJDOT projects dealing with 1) evaluation of self-compacting concrete (SCC) for NJDOT construction projects, and 2) shrinkage of concrete in bridge decks. In the SCC project, a key element was field implementation of SCC in drilled shafts. He also was involved in two AASHTO Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) Specifications research projects with NJDOT: 1) evaluation of NCHRP 12-49 provisions for seismic design of bridges in New Jersey, and 2) the Doremus Avenue bridge project. He also worked with the FHWA-NJ Structures Bureau on producing the report "Seismic Analysis of Retaining Walls, Buried Structures, Embankments, and Integral Abutments" (FHWA-NJ-2005-002).

Editor's Note:
Tomorrow could be a nail biting session for those hoping to see the market post a gain in 2015. The S&P 500 closed at 2,063.36 today. That is only about four points above breakeven for the year. At the moment the S&P 500 is up less than +0.2% for 2015. The plunge this afternoon doesn't bode well for tomorrow morning.
Normally the seasonal Santa Claus rally from December 24th through the first couple of trading days of January delivers a +1.4% gain in the S&P 500. Our Santa rally may have come early. The S&P 500 rallied +3.6% from its December 18th low of 2,005 into yesterday's close at 2,078.
Technically today's session has generated an "inside day" for the S&P 500. All of today's trading too place inside yesterday's trading range. That normally suggest investor indecision.
Tomorrow is the last trading day of the year and volume will likely be very low. The month of December has seen some volatile moves in the market and the next few days could follow suit.
No new trades tonight.
There will be no newsletter tomorrow night (New Year's Eve). We will be back this weekend with our normal schedule.
Keep your eyes on the 2,059 mark. The S&P 500 needs to close above this level to eke out a "gain" for the year. At this point calling it a gain is being too generous.
Have a safe and happy New Year!

Hi! I'm turning 18 on Thursday and I wanted to go to a gay club with some friends this weekend... I've done a google search but I only found the age limit for one club, and it was 19. =[
Any good gay clubs you know of that'll let me in? =] Preferably in downtown St. Louis. I think The Complex might be 18 and up but I'm just not sure!

Well it only took about 12 months but the Palm Treo Pro (full review) finally caved in today and had its finicky ext ROM unlocked thanks to cmonex and the first custom ROM by CFay, which just happens to be one of the latest versions of WM6.5.1 (Build 23409).
CFay has also released a "clean" WM6.1 ROM, stripped of bloatware and tweaked for style and performance.
The Palm Treo Pro, designed by Palm but built by HTC, has much more in common with other HTC devices than previous Treos. However, unlocking the ROM files so new ones can be rebuilt has eluded many developers so far, proving to be as tough as Motorola devices.
And since we've heard nary a peep from anyone about an official ROM update from Palm, this is probably your only chance.
Users should be warned that this is in the very early stages of development and currently *only CDMA Treos* can do this, so let the dust settle before jumping, m'kay?
Get all the goodies here:
A big congratulations and thanks goes to cmonex and CFay for their hard work. Don't forget to show them some support via donations!
