Memories of Karuizawa 1999/2012
Just when you thought there couldn't possibly be any more Japanese whisky to distract you from your year-end shopping, along comes this new release and what a stunner it is. It's the first in a new series of Karuizawa single casks for the Japanese market (but those of you living abroad, read on!), entitled "Memories of Karuizawa". It's a younger Karuizawa - a 1999 vintage, the year before the distillery stopped producing - aged for 13 years in a sherry butt (#879), and bottled at a cask-strength of 62.9% abv. It is incredibly dark so you would be forgiven for thinking this was one of those ex-sherry-cask whiskies on steroids ... that is, if you didn't know Karuizawa very well. If you did, you would know to always expect the unexpected, and this is no exception - or is that a contradiction in terms?
Oh yes, where to get it. Here things get a bit tricky. The official release date is Christmas Eve (if you haven't made any dining arrangements yet, just get a bottle of this - it's the best Christmas meal you can imagine, albeit in liquid form). Some shops in Japan have already started pre-selling. Googling is pointless - the handful of shops that have put them up for sale online already sold out their allocation in no time. So, you'll just have to wait and keep your eyes peeled. If you live abroad, I have some good news for you. In spite of the overwhelming domestic demand, Whisk-e has been so kind as to set aside a few bottles for die-hard Karuizawa fans abroad. These will go on sale on December 24th, from 6pm local time, limited to 1 bottle per customer (to make as many people happy as possible). Consider this tip to be our Christmas present to you: Memories of Karuizawa at Malt City.

Thank You for Karuizawa Christmas present. I live in Poland and managed to buy this on Whisk-e. It would not be possible without prior information from Nonjatta. Karuizawas were sold out very quickly, after about 5 minutes everything was sold out. Can't wait for delivery.
Lucas, Poland.

Thanks for your kind words, Lucas. Glad to hear you managed to get hold of a bottle. The interest from our readers abroad was overwhelming, and there were some technical issues, so you're one of the lucky few. However, we're working on something exclusive to please many more of our readers, so keep an eye out for an announcement on Nonjatta very soon. Thanks again.
- January 1, 2013 at 10:07 AM
I myself was not able to buy it. I placed it in my basket at whisk-e, but then when I tried to pay after I typed a small note trying to explain that I do not live in the Nagano province (the site requires a Japanese province in the address data) I got the message that there wasn't enough stock for my one bottle.
It turns out on their website it's possible to buy an item even if it is already in someone else's basket. Very disappointing.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sure the people at Whisk-e will be looking into these issues. It was the first time, really, that the online shop was opened to customers abroad. They knew there would be a risk more people would be disappointed than pleased, but wanted to set aside a few cases of this Karuizawa anyway - a courageous move, believe me, because they could have sold the entire cask twice over in Japan alone! Please keep supporting them, because this is just the first step (hence the unforeseen trouble) in a much more ambitious plan to make Japanese whisky available - straight from the source - to serious whisky enthusiasts abroad. And, as I said, there's something in the pipeline exclusively for Nonjatta-readers! Thanks again for your support.

Wide receiver Percy Harvin will be one of the most watched Vikings this offseason as the team and player try to figure out if their working relationship will continue in 2013.
Just after the end of the season, coach Leslie Frazier said he saw no reason why Harvin wouldn't remain with the team. Others have cited Harvin reportedly making a trade request last offseason and a "heated exchange" with Frazier during the 2012 season as signs that the two sides may be parting ways. Frazier spoke with Harvin when he came to the team's facility for an exit physical and said Tuesday and downgraded his expectation to hope that Harvin remains in Minnesota.
"We definitely had to talk just in general about a lot of things," Frazier said, via 1500ESPN.com. "We had a good conversation. We talked, and it was good conversation. So, hopefully, everything will work out."
Harvin is set to make just under $3 million in the final year of his contract, a deal that will likely be extended if the Vikings decide not to move the receiver via a trade. Frazier said that Harvin was healthy when he came in from the physical, so the ankle injury that ended his season shouldn't get in the way of going that route if that's what the Vikings decide to do.

Sept 18th at 11am and we're leaving Austin, TX – all 32 of us which includes dancers, crew and staff. After a 3 hour flight we land at Newark airport outside New York. Our international flight was departing from a different terminal so we found the subtly marked hallway that led to an unimpressive stairway that led to the shuttle bus to terminal C – our home for the next 7 hours. We ate lunch and walked around. We ate dinner and walked around. It is a very big terminal and we saw it all. It seemed wherever we walked there were Ballet Austin dancers wandering the halls in a different pattern from ours. Eventually we joined the BA colony surrounding the battery and computer charging station near our gate. Next we went through a second security checkpoint – special for passengers flying to Tel-Aviv.
At 11pm we departed Newark for the 10+ hour flight to Tel-Aviv. If there was any trepidation about the distance and time that separated us from our destination it was apparently relieved as evident by the sight of so many of the dancers interfacing with the touch screen of movies, television shows and music available at every seat. United has lots of TV and movie options on the screens in the back of the seats. Of course when presented with too many choices I was a bit paralyzed. Finally, I chose a few episodes of "Elementary". We were served dinner and then breakfast. It has been forever since I had airplane food. It wasn't bad – or maybe I was excited by the retro aspect of the compartmentalized food. Most of us slept. It was very quiet – and dark.
When we landed I was prepared for drama with customs… Let's say over prepared. Our group seemed to be the only foreigners on the plane so there was no line. Once the front folks (thank you Cookie, Orlando and Ashley) explained why we were coming to Israel the rest of us got questions like "What airline did you fly on?" No one wanted to look at our luggage. We were greeted by Lital (the logistical genius who made this trip possible) and Isi (Albert's producer) with a sign with the Ballet Austin logo, a splendid way to arrive anywhere.
We met Samir, our bus driver, and traveled one hour plus to the walled, medieval city of Akko. Our hotel has a crusader era aqueduct running through the lobby leading to a cistern in the courtyard.
We are in Old Akko with a recorded history reaching back 4,000 years. It is a remarkably mixed city with signage in Hebrew , Arabic and a few in English for the tourists.
After check in and a bit of breathing time Samir drove us to Morganfeld's restaurant to eat with the members of the western Galilee partnership. Albert Ben-Shloosh greeted us at the entrance. It is unbelievable that Albert's dream of bringing Light / The Holocaust & Humanity Project to Akko is a reality and we are here. The food was delicious! I now know I have never really had hummus. But the most beautiful moment of the evening… was when they brought out a brazier of meat and Albert called over to Bill Sheffield to say that the steak was for him. We knew we were very well taken care of.

So with 2.3 removing the Weapon Skill rating, Expertise was added back in it's place. Originally with this change Orcs and Humans had their racial changed from Weapon Skill increases with an added 1% crit. This was effectively a nerf for tanks who used those racials.
Fortunately, the latest 2.3 patch has changed the 1% crit to 5 Expertise while wielding the required weapons. What does this mean? Well, it reduces the chance to be dodged or parried by 1.25%. For tanks who can take advantage of the necessary weapon, this will translate into more hits, meaning more threat and more rage.

|Happy birthday, Elena!
|Elena at 5 days old, already deep in thought and contemplating the world around her...
On April 6, 2013, I welcomed my daughter, Marielena "Elena" Luz Hall, into the world, the newest blossom in my family tree, and the first of the next generation on my particular branch (my parents' first grandkid).
If you can't tell, she's named after me, Mary Ellen. Her father is Honduran, and so it was important for me to incorporate his ethnic and cultural heritage, and therefore my daughter's, into her name, especially since her last name, Hall, doesn't reflect her Latina heritage at all. Hence, Mary Ellen en espanol becomes Marielena - and because that's such a mouthful for such a little girl, it becomes Elena for short.
Mary Ellen in particular is an important family name for me, a tradition that goes back generations on my father's side of the family. But Mary and variations of Ellen individually are important recurring names, and so, Marielena is the latest in a long line of women I'm so proud to call family, and her name honors them all, including but not limited to my mother, Margaret Mary; my aunts, Mary Ellen and Ellen; my grandmothers Helen Stutzmann Gorry and Mary Cronin Raynor; my great-grandmothers, Mary Ellen Tormey Gorry, Helen Haase Stutzmann, Amelia Ellen Berg Raynor, Ellen Marie Casey Cronin; my great-great grandmothers, Mary Ellen Horgan Gorry, Ellen Prendergast Tormey, and Mary Enright Casey; my 3rd great grandmothers, Mary Corr Gorry, Ellen Prendergast, and Mary Story Poole, and I'm sure many, many more even further back than that.
On top of it all, Elena came very close to sharing a birthday with her great-grandmother, Mary Cronin Raynor...I went into the hospital April 5, which was my grandmother's 98th birthday. I was kinda hoping for them to share a birthday but I think my grandmother was happy her first great-granddaughter got her very own day (happy belated birthday, by the way, Grandma!)
Having a newborn and being a new parent is both extremely exciting and extremely overwhelming, so I probably will not be updating this blog for awhile, and at least not as frequently as I have in the past - to everyone who has followed me over the years, thank you so much, and I promise I'm not disappearing forever - please check in on me every once in awhile to see when I start back up again. In the meantime, continue all your good genealogy work, and the best of luck in finding all the family you're searching for!!

Weiner kept sexting after resignation
Joined by his wife at a dramatic news conference Tuesday, New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner acknowledged that he continued to have illicit relationships with women online even after he resigned his seat in Congress two years ago over the same behavior.
"Some of these things happened before my resignation, some of them happened after," Weiner said.
Story Continued Below
It was an astonishing admission: After an episode that wrecked his political career, nearly destroyed his marriage, and made him an object of international mockery, Weiner couldn't stop himself from going back for more. Until now a leading contender for mayor, Weiner intends to seek forgiveness from New Yorkers, again.
( PHOTOS: Huma Abedin in the public eye)
Asked when he stopped exchanging raunchy messages with other women, Weiner pointed to "sometime last summer" though he said he couldn't "say exactly when."
His wife, longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, said Weiner's resignation "was the beginning of a time in our marriage that was very difficult and it took us a long time to get through it. … It took a lot of work and a whole lot of therapy." Abedin, who appeared by his side and told reporters she was "very nervous," added that "it was not an easy choice in any way, but I made the decision that it was worth staying in this marriage … for me, my son and our family."
Weiner said that he would not withdraw from the mayor's race.
( WATCH: Mystery man at Weiner presser an instant Twitter sensation)
"I'm glad these things are behind us, I know that this was a very public thing that we had happen to us, but by no means does this change the fundamentals of my feelings here," Weiner said. "And that is that I want to bring my vision to the people of the city of New York. I hope they're willing to still continue to give me a second chance. And I hope they realize that, in many ways, what happened today was something that, frankly, had happened before but it doesn't represent all that much that's new."
His latest apology came after additional pictures and texts with a woman emerged on the gossip website thedirty.com — roiling the high-profile race as Weiner had emerged as a top candidate.
The website asserted this week that Weiner carried on an online relationship from July until November 2012 with a woman who was not named. If that timing is accurate, it would mean that Weiner continued to engage in the type of conduct that forced him to resign his seat in Congress in 2011.
( WATCH: Full Anthony Weiner press conference)
Weiner did not confirm the timing of the alleged exchange in his statement, saying only that some elements of the site's reports were accurate and others not. The uproar threatens to unravel Weiner's surprisingly strong performance in the race since he launched his bid in May: A Quinnipiac University poll last week had him leading the crowded Democratic primary field.
"I said that other texts and photos were likely to come out, and today they have. As I have said in the past, these things that I did were wrong and hurtful to my wife and caused us to go through challenges in our marriage that extended past my resignation from Congress," the former Democratic congressman's statement read.
( QUIZ: Do you know Anthony Weiner?)
It continued, "While some things that have been posted today are true and some are not, there is no question that what I did was wrong. This behavior is behind me. I've apologized to Huma and am grateful that she has worked through these issues with me and for her forgiveness. I want to again say that I am very sorry to anyone who was on the receiving end of these messages and the disruption that this has caused. As my wife and I have said, we are focused on moving forward."

The Jacksonville Jaguars have one of the thinnest running back depth charts in the NFL. And recovering starter Maurice Jones-Drew showed up in the offseason a little thinner than we're used to seeing him.
Why play fantasy football anywhere else? Play the official free fantasy football game of the NFL. Sign up today in under two minutes.
It appears the Jaguars are starting to look for some insurance.
Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reported that running back Beanie Wells will visit the team Thursday. The former first-round draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals met with the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, but the belief was Wells' knee was not in playing shape.
If healthy, Wells would be a logical backup behind Jones-Drew in Jacksonville. Otherwise, the Jaguars have Justin Forsett, Denard Robinson and Jordan Todman in the mix for snaps until MJD can get healthy.

Is it possible to be addicted to science? Lauduree (Perla Haney-Jardine), of Jenny Deller's Future Weather, would have to say yes. It's a story we've seen in the likes of Little Birds, and Hick: bored teenage girls victim of small towns and poor parenting succumb to vice. For the former it's boys and glamour, but not for Lauduree. Amidst her disappearing Mother (Marin Ireland) and beer-slingin' Grandma (Amy Madigan), rises a learned gal with a passion for fighting pollution. Forget drugs and sex, when Lauduree loses it she plays the righteous environmentalist. Who says a beautiful flower can't bloom in a muddy swamp?
Zak Mulligan's cinematography carries the film, as he captures the sublime afternoon sunshine in a way that illuminates both Lauduree's lonely hours, as well as the beauty of nature that she can't help but thrive in. The sound department rides masterfully on a similar phenomenon, as the chirping of crickets outside rest against the desolate silence inside.
This sleepy feel seems to take frost over the film. While she effectively displays her passion for global warming, as well as the hum-drum melancholia of pre-teen life, it feels as though Haney-Jardine falls slightly flat in contrast with the glowing scenery that surrounds her. In order for science to truly take hold on viewers, we need an actor that can sell it for us. 80's lady Lili Taylor (Mystic Pizza, Say Anything, High Fidelity), shines as her science teacher and friend Ms. Markovi, and we wish she appears more often.
Lauduree is clearly the odd duck amongst her bombshell Mom , and simpleton Grandma, but we still don't quite buy the relationships. Yet endearing moments where she applies makeup and sports her mother's heels with large brown socks prove to be the convincing choices Deller makes which emphasize the effect that mothers have on their daughters.
Despite stretches where we wish a tumbleweed would pass through and cause some trouble, Deller significantly reminds us that the role of mother can take many different forms; maternal wisdom here is found in a daughter. She teaches us that value can be created in the midst of misfortune. Would Lauduree be as passionate about climate change had her mother been around? This is a question left for viewers.

Who ultimately forced Sun to open-source Java? Was it external pressure, either from Java developers or the open-source community? Or was it internal, perhaps a mandate from CEO Jonathan Schwartz?
Answer: None of the above. According to Jonathan himself, it was Brazil.
Maybe it's not surprising that Brazil would have this kind of clout. Brazil is the B of BRIC, the common acronym for the huge and influential emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. Brazil is the sixth or seventh largest market for software worldwide, and IT spending there is growing at a double-digit rate. As an exporter of software, South America generally is a player and is growing at a double-digit rate. Outsourcing relationships with South American companies are already big business, and often a smart decision for North American companies. IDC identifies Latin America, which also includes Mexico and Central America, as having a pool of software developers essentially equal to Central and Eastern Europe, a region that many consider a hotbed of software talent.
But the fact that Brazil would use its clout in the furtherance of open-source software says something about the culture or climate for software development in Brazil and, to varying degrees, other countries of South America.

Holy cow!
Talk about some scary stuff! Evidently you don't need a genius IQ and a ton of expensive hardware to be a cyber security threat anymore. That means all of us need to be on our guard. Unsecured wi-fi networks - like in coffee shops - are pretty scary places. Your personal information is evidently not safe there in the least.
A recent New York Times story, "New Hacking Tools Pose Bigger threats to Wi-Fi Users" (Kate Murphy, Feb 16, 2011) provides some startling info.
"You may think the only people capable of snooping on your Internet activity are government intelligence agents or possibly a talented teenage hacker holed up in his parents' basement. But some simple software lets just about anyone sitting next to you at your local coffee shop watch you browse the Web and even assume your identity online."

Moderation: Some things better left alone
ADDRESS: 1200 Hazel Street
SIZE: 3,546 fin. sq. ft., 1,366 unfin.
NEIGHBORHOOD: Locust Grove
CURB APPEAL: 9 of 10
LISTED BY: Anthony McGhee Assist to Sell 979-1223
From politics to music, diets to baby gear, moderation seems to be in short supply these days. And nowhere is that fact more evident than in real estate– whether starting from scratch with a sultan's budget in a new subdivision, or gutting to the studs and starting over in Belmont or Fifeville– excess is the name of the game.
Kitchens the size of ballrooms, closets as big as family rooms, 6,000-7,000-square-foot "estate homes" stretched set-back to set-back on cookie-cutter lots– such are the options of folks with apparently limitless resources. But buyers of more modest means have elaborate choices, too: trendy concrete, granite, or soapstone kitchen counters; marble-encased Jacuzzis; and spiral stairways are just a few of the "updates" in some recent Belmont makeovers.
That's why coming upon a solid, sensibly proportioned, modestly modified house is a pleasant surprise. At first glance, this large pre-war brick house is strikingly similar to some others around town. Perhaps its slate roof, copper gutters, and extra height (the huge pine-floored attic is unusual) set it slightly apart, but in general, the flat façade, one-story sunroom appendage, soapstone patio, and tidy lawn could describe any number of places currently on the market.
But then there's the slightly funky location– just a whisper beyond the boundary of ultimate chi-chi– a basil-lined walkway, a large herb garden in the corner of the front yard (beside a vegetable garden with corn stalk remnants and gone-to-seed asparagus fronds), and an odd one-pane-wide door off a small side deck.
Inside, however, not much unusual seems to be happening. Except for the contemporary furniture, some ceiling fans, and an understated kitchen/back hall reconfiguration, the house is pretty much the way Robert G. Burnett a nurseryman whose greenhouses were recently bulldozed to make way for "Burnett Commons" over on Elliott Avenue built it to be his own residence in 1939, moving up from a small bungalow across the street.
The current owners, with admirable restraint, opted to live with the house a while before making changes. What they found as time went on was that most of the original features were not only good enough to keep, but were preferable to anything they might substitute.
Take the kitchen, for instance. While the original layout was slightly modified a half bath was moved to the hallway and a window was converted to the skinny one-pane-wide door the stainless steel counters and sink, retro top-oven stove, and '50s refrigerator all work perfectly well, and– backed by chic purple-gray walls– even look positively modern.
The wood-burning fireplace in the living room, tile baths (sans Jacuzzi), solid wood bi-fold doors with brass fixtures, and graceful built-in corner dining room cupboards represent a time when quality beat flash and decorum trumped showiness.
Not to say that there's not some show here. But the five bedrooms of generous proportions, cedar closets with elaborate wood trim inside as well as out, wide graceful entry hall and stairs, and sleek quarter-sawn red oak floors combine to create an impression more of proportion and grace than razzle-dazzle.
Basic systems are up to current standards. A gas furnace fuels the radiators, buried electric service provides the requisite amps, and an automatic garage opener reminds us that we've come a ways from 1939. But these are invisible changes. When it came time for the disruption central air would require, the owners again politely passed. And– surprise!– on our visit, three unobtrusive window units were keeping the place as cool as any chugging heat pump would– without the tangle of ductwork.
The basement offers a generous workroom as well as a fully equipped darkroom, guest bedroom, and bath. (Another indication of Burnett's thoughtfulness: in that bedroom– probably for a maid or other servant– heart-pine covers the cement floor for warmth.) The attic is vented, spacious, and ready to be adapted to any number of uses.
A final neat touch: On the fourth stair leading to the attic, Mr. Burnett inscribed his signature, clear and bold. Undoubtedly, he wrote it with pride to commemorate the completion of his new house.
But future owners ought read it as a gentle admonition: tread softly and proceed with care.

In the first part of this two part blog post, the issue of anticipating retaliation during an aggressive battle to wrest control of a DDoS botnet was examined. In this part, the issues of dual standards, taking responsibility, and learning lessons to make positive change over time are examined.
Read full post here...
This blog post is the first of a two-part series in response to the Wired article of Oct 14, 2014, "How Microsoft Appointed Itself Sheriff of the Internet." [McM14] I find some problems with this article that raise questions about the depth of research into some elements of the story, and an appearance of bias in how "unintended consequences" are presented.
[McM14] Robert McMillan. How Microsoft Appointed Itself Sheriff of the Internet. http://www.wired.com/2014/10/microsoft-pinkerton/, October 2014.
Howdy all,
I've the pleasure to *finally* unveil the second version of Dorothy: a malware/botnet analysis framework written in Ruby.
Dorothy2 is a framework created for mass malware analysis. Currently, it is mainly based on analyzing the network behavior of a virtual machine where a suspicious executable was executed. However, static binary analysis and system behavior analysis will be shortly introduced in further versions. Read more »
On March 4, 2013, a contest was held at the Nullcon conference in Goa, India, to see who could take over a botnet. The Times of India reported that the prize money was provided by an Indian government official and was awarded to the Garage4Hackers team. The co-founder of the Nullcon conference, Antriksh Shah, said "At Nullcon Goa 2013, for the first time in the world the government has come forward and announced a bounty prize of Rs 35,000 to whoever provides critical information on the command and control servers of a malware recently found in one of the government installations in India," and then tweeted, "Dawn of new infosec era. Govt of India announced (and actually paid) first ever bounty (Rs. 35 k) at nullcon to take down a c&c." When asked whether this was a live botnet, or a simulated botnet held within a safe and isolated virtual network where no harm could result, Nullcon tweeted, "it was a live campaign up since a couple of yrs and the malware was found in a gov. Infra." Read more »
On Wednesday, March 21, 2012, an operation by security experts from Dell SecureWorks, CrowdStrike, Kaspersky, and the Honeynet Project was initiated to sinkhole infected computers in the Kelihos.B/Hlux.B botnet. The objective of this action was to remove from the attacker's control all computers currently infected with the Kelihos.B/Hlux.B malware by poisoning the peer lists and routing tables in the lower layers of command and control. This will prevent the botnet operator from doing any more harm with this set of infected computers.
Control of the botnet with over 129,000 infected hosts was successfully obtained. These bots are no longer in control of the botherder, and, as a result, are no longer involved in sending spam, the primary malicious activity of this botnet. The hosts resided primarily in Poland (24%) and were primarily running the old operating system Windows XP (84%). The command-and-control infrastructure has been abandoned by the gang that was operating the botnet two days after the operation. We can say that the Kelihos.B/Hlux.B botnet was successfully disabled.
For more information, we refer to:
On Sunday, March 25, Microsoft announced that for the fourth time, they had gone to a federal court and successfully obtained an ex parte temporary restraining order (TRO) to seize domain names from botnet operators. For the second time, the court has also ordered U.S. Marshals to accompany Microsoft and others to serve search warrants and seize evidence that can be used in future civil or criminal actions.

The Leonid meteor can be seen this weekend as our world moves through space, crossing the orbital path of Comet Tempel-Tuttle, the parent comet of the Leonid meteor shower.
The best viewing is predicted between midnight and dawn on Saturday, Nov. 17. We'll have a some clouds around both Saturday and Sunday nights but there will be a little clearing, and you might see nearly as many meteors in the predawn darkness on Sunday, Nov. 18.
This won't be a great year to see the "shooting stars" because no meteor storm is expected. If skies are clear, you may see 10 to 15 meteors per hour at the peak, in the darkness before dawn. Sometimes even seeing one can be a big treat!
The good news this year is that the moon is out of the way for the 2012 Leonid meteor shower. The moon will be a thin crescent, setting shortly behind the sun. The moon's absence from the night sky is good for watchers. Typically, the best time to watch this meteor shower is between the hours of midnight and dawn. The best place to watch a meteor shower is always in the country. Just go far enough from town that glittering stars, the same stars drowned by city lights, begin to pop into view.
Meteors are named for the point in our sky from which they appear to radiate. This shower is named for the constellation Leo the Lion, because these meteors radiate outward from the vicinity of stars representing the Lion's mane.

The fourth quarter is behind us, but a pair of reports will give us a clearer idea of how well the economy was doing as 2014 approached.
The most important is the U.S. trade deficit for December. The deficit fell in November to a four-year low as U.S. exports of petroleum and other products rose and imports fell, a promising trend that suggests the nation could mostly wean itself off dependency on foreign oil in the next decade.
The trade gap probably rose a bit in December but is expected to remain near its recent low. Economists polled by MarketWatch forecast the deficit to widen to $36 billion from $34.3 billion in November. The report will be issued at 8:30 a.m.
The productivity of businesses and workers in the fourth quarter, meanwhile, is projected to accelerate to a 3.4% annual rate from 3% in the third quarter. Higher productivity is essential for an economy to become more prosperous in the long run, but the number is often volatile quarter to quarter and it take take awhile to figure out the trend.
Also on Thursday is the weekly jobless claims report. Economists predict the number of people seeking unemployment benefits will drop to 337,000 in the last week of January from a one-and-a-half month high of 348,000 in the prior week.
A decline would indicate the labor market has not deteriorated as much as December's poor jobs report suggests. Another increase, however, would be seen as worrisome.

Worked with Sequoia (both Israel and US). Sequoia is here to make money for their investors and partners. These are the white sharks of Sand Hill road and whomever doesn't know it should! Swimming with sharks can be both rewarding and dangerous.
If you are looking for someone to help you find a market for your technology, they are probably not it.

Posted by Anonymous on 2007-08-18
I heard all of the shark and bully comments about Sequoia, and the source is usually other VC firms. I accept that they may not be founder-friendly. Still, for all their fame, Sequioa was accessible and when partners (Leone and Gandhi) said to stay in touch, they meant it, and indeed we did. Mark Dempster is the way to get in the door and he will offer a sense of the firm's interest, but not presume anything. We were not funded but pitching this firm boosted confidence. Making an impression and connection here means you can do it anywhere so for that reason I would not put Sequoia last in your queue.PRIVATE: Members Only

Tam Investor

Posted by bubblepopper on 2007-08-07
Sequoia is a "TAM" (Total Addressable Market) investor. Unfortunately, they view as expendable the founders and employees who take huge personal risk to help them address these markets. As an entrepreneur, I think they are the stereotype of the VC to be avoided.
To sum up:
"Knock knock."
"Who's there""
"Sequoia Capital""
"Sequoia Capital wh--"
Having said that, they are extremely bright guys, and because they are so powerful it's easy for them to bring in their buddies for additional rounds. And to state the utterly obvious, I would love to be a Sequoia LP.PRIVATE: Members Only (1114 Characters)
Why Work for Sequoia?
Fund: Sequoia Capital
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-01-25
I have never pitched to Sequoia. However, I am in the process of fund raising with a pretty decent idea and a beta site that has got good feedback.
From the commentators above (see below), it seems like Sequoia is a real pain to work with. I quit wherever I was working because I wanted to do my own thing. My previous work place was a typical b-school haven full of "really smart guys" who are arrogant. Sequoia seems like that. It almost seems like you work for Sequoia instead of yourself (esp. if they are going to replace you). So why would I go through it again"
Or I am reading too much into it"
Btw- Was Marc Andreeson referring to Sequoia when he said "For example, some venture firms are very entrepreneur-friendly. Others are notoriously brutal. Interestingly, financial success in the venture capital profession does not seem to be correlated to entrepreneur-friendliness."

Posted by tech_vp on 2007-05-23
A small tip. Before you take a meeting with Sequoia, practice on lesser name VC's first. We took our very first VC meeting of our fund raising exercise with them and I wish we would have done them last. VC's have a play book, they all pretty much ask the same questions. It's very nice to know what to expect before you walk in the door with these guys.PRIVATE: Members Only
Moritz Offers a Challenge
Fund: Sequoia Capital
Posted by Anonymous on 2009-07-11
Mike got his backside toasted a bit in the final moments of Kawasaki's Revenue Bootcamp today by a conference attendee. But he rose to the challenge, offering to read and respond to most any pitch emailed to him from the 200+ (predominately baby boomer) audience.
Mike was on the last panel of the conference with Paul Graham of yCombinator moderated by Guy. Early in the hour long discussion, both Mike and Paul admitted that one of the optimal characteristics of entrepreneurs they fund is youth, specifically those under 30 years old. They gave sound justifications, which probably rang hollow with the audience.
The confrontation stemmed from a final question an attendee asked that was blatantly dismissed by Moritz. The question seemed authentic enough. The attendee sought the panel's advice for "older" founders / entrepreneurs when approaching VC's for funding.
Paul didn't get a word in before Mike just flipped his response to a series of off-hand remarks and jokes. Guy tried to pursue, but Mike wasn't interested in dealing directly with the question, and that's when the fun started.
Someone in the audience challenged Mike to answer the question, and asked the audience to raise their hands if any were entrepreneurs over 30. Needless to say, at least 85% of the audience raised their hands. The whole auditorium erupted into applause when Mike was challenged by the provoker to "answer the question!"
To Mike's credit, he said he was willing to take on this challenge, and would consider and respond to any well articulated pitch that was emailed to him, no matter how old the founder was.
I know I'm up for this challenge. How about the rest of you?
Leading up to this final question, Guy had moderated an hour discussion with both Mike and Paul Graham of Ycombinator. Kawasaki was quick to note that both Sequoia and Ycombinator seemed to focus on young entrepreneurs, less than 30 years old. One of from the audience. where a "older founder"PRIVATE: Members Only

Great Guys

Posted by anon on 2007-08-08
Sequoia Capital has been very willing to help our company before we even agreed on a termsheet - they helped close prospective employees, did legwork to help figure out user growth, and continuously offered product feedback. After closing remained very active/helpful investors, which can be extremely beneficial if you are a young entrepreneur without a lot of experience.
Contrary to a lot of other reports, I found Sequoia to be very humble - attitude throughout the process was "you are our customers, and we are only as good as our next investment."
Getting funding was very painless. We agreed on terms ~48 hours after our pitch and closed everything ~2 weeks later. Deal was expensive but fair.
- get angels who are good friends with Sequoia
- build a product and have some users/customers before pitching
- obsessively focus on execution
- they prefer youth and passion to business experience, so come pitch in jeans and tshirt!

After the upgrade to WH4 I had only problems wiht the server.
The support have several thing suggest but none of them are working.
First I have the reseller cloud storm. Very slow sites and uploads and after upgrade to cloud Monsoon there was no improvement at all.
Many time my sites where offline and this month it happens again two times a hole day.
For me the reason to move now to a other hoster.
Today they have finisch the migration and yes the speed is faster and a lot cheaper.
A tip to the support. If servers are not working then seems to me it is normal that there is a refund. Despite all the problems is that never did. The only what they write is sorry for the inconvenience.

Pre-professional Tracks
Beloit offers majors in two pre-professional programs—environmental management and forestry, and 3-2 engineering—and provides pre-law and health professions advising.
Environmental Management and Forestry Program
Beloit College offers a cooperative program with the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University that leads to the Master of Forestry (M.F.) or Master of Environmental Management (M.E.M.) degree.
This five-year program requires at least three years of enrollment at Beloit College, followed by two years of study at Duke University. During the first year at Duke, participants complete their Beloit College requirements for the bachelor's degree and, upon successful completion of that year, Beloit College awards the B.A. or B.S. as appropriate. After four semesters at Duke, in which a minimum number of units is earned, students may qualify for one of the professional master's degrees. Beloit both offers and accepts credits from Duke University. Beloit sends credits for general education and major courses. Beloit receives credits for environmental management and forestry program courses.
Acceptance to the program at Duke University is competitive. Planning for this accelerated program should begin early in a student's time at Beloit College. Beloit students may also enter Duke after completing the baccalaureate degree as 4-2 students. For more information, contact Yaffa Grossman, faculty advisor for the program at Beloit College.
Special Engineering Programs
The dual-degree cooperative engineering program combines a liberal arts education with a professional engineering education. A student generally spends 3 or 4 years at Beloit College, followed by 2 years at an engineering college, and earns two degrees (either two bachelor's degrees, or a bachelor's degree and an M.S. degree). Most entry-level engineering jobs are filled at the level of a bachelor's degree and require strong backgrounds in mathematics and science. Engineers with a M.S. degree or higher often work in research and development.
Students may attend any engineering college accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). However, Beloit College is formally affiliated with three universities (Columbia University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Washington University in St. Louis). Beloit both offers and accepts credits from these institutions. Beloit sends credits for general education and engineering program major courses. Beloit receives credits for engineering program courses. A student who fulfills all prerequisites with the required GPA (at least 3.0, depending on the engineering college and specialty), and is recommended by Beloit's engineering liaison, will normally be admitted to the affiliated engineering college. Common specialties are chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, but a student may pursue any specialty offered by the engineering college for which the student meets the admission requirements.
A student interested in the dual-degree engineering program should consult an engineering program advisor early to ensure a suitable plan of study that fulfills the prerequisites for the chosen engineering school and specialty.
Pre-Law Preparation
Beloit provides special advising to students interested in law school. Pre-law advisors help students develop an appropriate course of study that will maximize their chances for successful entrance into law school.
The college does not offer a "pre-law" major because most law schools prefer applicants who have NOT majored in "pre-law." Instead, the college's pre-law advisors help students design the best academic program for their interests and acquire the skills needed to perform well on the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) and apply successfully to law school.
For more information, contact professors Matthew Tedesco, Charles Westerberg, or Lawrence White.
Health Professions Programs
A student preparing for a career in the health professions must simultaneously fulfill the general requirements for graduation from Beloit College and for a field of concentration (a "major"). Most pre-medical, pre-dental, and pre-veterinary students major in biology, biochemistry, or chemistry, although it is possible, with careful planning, to complete the pre-medical requirements and major in a discipline outside the sciences. Students who prepare for a nursing degree after completing a liberal arts degree choose majors in the sciences, social sciences, or an interdisciplinary major such as Health and Society.
The Beloit College Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC) maintains up-to-date information about applying to professional schools and schedules regular group and individual advising sessions. HPAC is responsible for the advising of students considering careers as physicians, nurses, veterinarians, dentists, pharmacists, physician assistants, physical therapists, social workers, and public health specialists. The requirements for various professional schools differ, and a student may wish to consult the online catalogs of programs from his/her home state or programs that fit the students' particular area of interest.
The Health Professions Advisory Committee advisors will work with interested students and their academic advisors to develop schedules that can accommodate study abroad, and the required standardized testing. Each student should meet with a health professions advisor during his/her first semester at Beloit College to develop a four-year plan.

Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has responded to news that Oregon is reportedly believed to have committed NCAA violations during his tenure with the school. Via the Eagles, here is Kelly's statement on the matter:
"I am aware of the recent reports and of the ongoing investigation being conducted by the NCAA and the University of Oregon. While at Oregon, I know we were fully cooperative with all aspects of the investigation and I will continue to contribute in any way that I can. But until the NCAA rules on the matter, I will have no further comment."

British pop star Cheryl Cole has launched a furious online rant against a journalist over an article that alleged fame has wrecked the singer's life.
The former Girls Aloud star took a group of friends to Las Vegas for her 30th birthday party last month, and she is enraged over a column published in U.K. newspaper the Daily Mirror on Friday branding the trip "depressing."
The article also alleged the singer would be better off if she had never found fame and blamed stardom for her failed marriage to England soccer ace Ashley Cole and her brush with death after contracting malaria in 2010.
Cole has now hit back at the publication and its journalist Polly Hudson, insisting the piece was "inaccurate and misinformed."
In an online message aimed at Hudson, she writes, "Meow. … Who exactly was my party depressing for? Yourself? Sitting behind your little computer watching Instagram … Aww!! Well I really don't know where to start with this one I have to say! Cat's got my tongue (no pun intended).
"I am actually dumbfounded reading your nasty bitter horrible incredibly inaccurate and misinformed article! Is this what you have been resorted to (sic)??! I feel bad for you. You literally have no correct detail other than the 4 or 5 people you were able to identify from the Instagram pictures! … It's embarrassing.
"I have no idea why or where your nastiness has suddenly come from as you have only ever kissed my a**e to my face. … I won't bother myself with handing you any correct information or facts as I feel that is a part of your job you seriously need to work on. … Good luck with that.

Cassadee Pope Gets Emotional on 'Behind These Hazel Eyes' on 'The Voice'
Fan favorite Cassadee Pope revealed that the inspiration for her song choice 'Behind These Hazel Eyes' by Kelly Clarkson was her father, who divorced from her mother back when she was 11 years old.
Pope hoped her father would reach out to her after her appearance on 'The Voice,' but she still hasn't heard a peep from her dad, which would explain the emotion by her genuinely strong rendition of Clarkson's song.
Rocking some serious purple highlights, the singer and one-time Hey Monday frontwoman played her guitar on stage and gave it everything she had, even nailing the final sharp note that the best of the best have to work on hitting.
Christina Aguilera admitted that this was her favorite Pope performance as of late, and even though she felt that yes, Pope was struggling to reach the notes, she felt the raw emotion behind the performance outweighed that of the vocals, because not only was it it something she could relate to, but it was something she appreciated.

Helena Bonham Carter has mixed feelings about her performance in "Les Miserables" as she expected her voice to sound "so much better and bigger" in the movie musical.
The eccentric Brit underwent intense vocal lessons to prepare for her role as pick-pocketing Madame Thenardier, and sang live in director Tom Hooper's big-screen adaptation of the beloved Broadway show.
But the actress was let down by her turn in "Les Miserables" and is convinced she sounded better in the 2007 musical "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" because technicians boosted her vocals.
She tells Britain's Daily Mail, "I had lots of vocal training for 'Les Mis' but I didn't improve as much as I thought I would. I watched it and thought… I was going to be so much better, I thought my voice was going to be so much bigger.
"I practiced and practiced and practiced but the thing with 'Les Mis' is that it was real so that's what we sounded like. In 'Sweeney' I had people making me sound better than I am but not for this.
"It's quite daunting because you've got 50 people watching you, filming you and you've just got this thing in your ear with the tune and you're the only one singing. And it just feels weird."
Bonham Carter also ruled out ever starring in a live musical, adding, "I would do another singing (film) role if someone else was foolish enough to employ me but I wouldn't do a stage musical. I don't have a strong enough voice. Maybe for one night but with singing it's like any muscle, it doesn't last."

Before the grass even meets the blade, it passes through the rake bumper. This bumper stands grass upright, so every blade gets cut evenly. As it passes under the mower deck, the newly designed S-blade cuts the grass and creates more lift for better circulation. The blade extends to the sides of the deck for a wide cut each time you mow.
Another key feature is that Troy-Bilt® lawn mower decks are stamped in a symmetrical circle with a completely smooth surface, creating a strong vacuum so grass circulates freely for better mulching and easier discharge. The end result is a clean, beautiful cut after every pass for the lawn of your dreams.
Lifts grass upright for clean, even cut.
Increases grass circulation for a finer mulch.
Provides superior grass flow, eliminating clumping.
