"A" My Name is Alice,. Mixed Media Paintings by Mina CohenName: "A" My Name is Alice,. Mixed Media Paintings by Mina CohenDate: June 8, 2018Time: 11:00 AM - 5:00 PM PDTWebsite: http://partnersgallery.comEvent Description:'A' My Name is Alice
Mixed Media Paintings by Mina Cohen
May 31 to July 2
First Friday Reception June 1st, 5-8pm
Wine served by Handley Cellars
Mina Cohen's exhibit at Partners Gallery in June, entitled "'A' My Name is Alice" is divided into three series all based on the alphabet. As a child growing up in the 1950s she remembers a ball and alphabet rhyming game played out on the sidewalk.
These days she still plays this game in her head and finds this a distraction from more troubling thoughts. In the first of the three series, the rhymes are intriguing or nonsensical or have a political or social edge.
The second series, inspired by her students' resonance with Munch's "The Scream", is based on an alphabetical list of places associated with our current political climate. A portion of the proceeds from this series will be donated to SPLC, ACLU, or NRDC.
The final series is purely an "arts for art's sake" exploration of the alphabet and the textures, colors and patterns of alphabet blocks.

Resources for Businesses During the COVID-19 Crisis
Current Health Order
This week Governor Gavin Newsom announced that counties approved for accelerated reopening can begin to reopen hair salons and barbershops. In addition, statewide Places of Worship can reopen with modifications and in-person protests can occur with modifications.
In response to these recent State Changes, Health Officer Dr. Noemi Doohan issued a revised Shelter-In-Place (SIP) Order Thursday, May 28, 2020, reflecting the new Permissible Higher Risk Businesses and related activities. The major changes include:
- Places of worship, such as churches, mosques, temples, and synagogues may open for limited capacity in-person religious services and cultural ceremonies provided that Statewide Places of Worship Guidance is followed.
- Funeral Services expanded with strict adherence to the same limited capacity and other restrictions outlined in the Places of Worship Guidance.
- Hair salons and barbershops may open for limited haircut-related services and are required to follow statewide guidance and complete a local business self-certification process at wwww.mendocinocountybusiness.org prior to opening.
- In-person political protests are allowed with modifications and must adhere to safety measures identified by the State and outlined in the Health Officer's Order.
The Health Officer has also expanded the very limited use of Shared Pools subject to the Order's restrictions for pool-based physical therapy (as prescribed by a medical professional)
Mendocino County's revised SIP will be in place until June 12, 2020.

Just discovered your blog with all these great images of France and its icons - great!ReplyDelete
This was a lovely tribute to the French and Bastille Day. I hope you enjoyed some festivities.ReplyDelete
I've never seen a photo of Piaf before. She was very pretty. Did you see the portrayal of her by Marion Cottilard?
While I liked all the photos (eye candy) the little dog with the cart stole my heart!
Vive la France!ReplyDelete
And the dog in the third black and white photo looks just like my dog, Apple!!
Beautiful visuals. ThanksReplyDelete
May I contact you by e mail...to discuss something which I would like to post but not before discussing it with you?ReplyDelete
Lovely photos. I agree with Ruth, that photo of Alan Delon is gorgeous.ReplyDelete
I agree with Jeanne. It's always a treat. And a delicious selection of photos.ReplyDelete

Joyeux quatorze juillet. Perhaps I should not say that as the storming of the Bastille was bloody, at any rate I hope you enjoyed la Fête Nationale. What a wonderful assemblage of photos, except for the iconic photo of Yves Saint Laurent. That image has always given me the creeps. Perhaps it is the fact that he is nude in what is obviously a formal studio portrait or the fact that he is wearing his signature glasses. Everything is at odds but perhaps that is the point.ReplyDelete
The fashion designer has no clothes.
Actually I think I am simply bothered by the fact that he has his bare bum on a leather cushion.
That is wrong, wrong and creepy.

Dash - where DO you get these wonderful images for your blog?ReplyDelete
I love to see what images of effortless elegance you have posted and this blog is no exception.
I don't know which image I like the best - possibly the kids at the Eiffel Tower? Coco Chanel? Joesphine Baker?
Too many to choose!
I must say I worry about the leather pouffe. Hopefully the image was shot fairly quickly so that there was minimal sponging down of the pouffe required afterwards.
Is it still socially acceptable to call something a leather pouffe? Was it EVER socially acceptable?
This is my second attempt at leaving this comment. I think I'm clicking about too quickly ;-) Great post Dash!

Dear Dash, gorgeous post! I love all the pictures you choose. I particularly like the one of the Metro and the fabulous shot Josephine Baker is sheer glamour...ReplyDelete
Happy belated Bastille Day. I'd write more but I have to get up in less than three hours to go to a bloody festival. It's pissing down and gale force winds at the mo. Marvellous. Have an amazing weekend, Love xx
Beautiful photos Dash. And I love the one of Olivier Martinez on your sidebar :-)ReplyDelete
That Alain Delon is one gorgeous man!ReplyDelete

Every once in awhile, I just need some time for myself with my paper, inks, and stamps. I think you probably know what I mean. Just for the pure love of paper crafting, I need to sit down and create something pretty. It is our 22nd wedding anniversary on Saturday, so I was thinking of my husband when I created this card.
I so enjoy working with the new CTMH alcohol markers. They are easy to color with and because there are two in a set (base and shade), coloring is fun and easy. It took me longer to cut the flowers out than it did to color them! For this card I used the upcoming January 2013 Stamp of the Month which is called Happy Valentine's. Those roses are just so lovely, and I think Ruby and Olive markers were a good color combination. This is La Belle Vie paper embellished with black tulle and black striped grosgrain. I finished the card off with some bling. If you click on the photo, you might be able to see that I have dew drops of Liquid Glass on the rose petals.
My advice to you is simple. When you are feeling the need to go and make something beautiful, just do it. In the end, it will make you feel much better and you'll renew your energy!

After DraftKings and FanDuel, traffic at daily fantasy sports sites head into another tier. This isn't a knock on other DFS sites, just an indicator of the dominate position of the top 2 sites. The 4th largest DFS site, FantasyDraft, is not to be ignored, however. They feature plenty of action for most fans of DFS and also haven't been shy about paying out the odd overlay or two.
Their major GPPs for most weeks has been around $150k-$200k with some supplemental $20k-$40k GPP contests thrown in. But they are worthy if only for a chance at some great overlays.
Promo Code & Referral Code: PartTime
So you're ready to give FantasyDraft a look. What are FantasyDraft deposits like? Is it much different than larger sites? In short, if you have deposited on the larger sites like FanDuel and DraftKings, you should be very comfortable with the process.
FantasyDraft Deposit Deposit Options
FantasyDraft, like many daily fantasy sports sites, offers deposits in two widely available methods – Paypal and credit card. With both options, you will be directed to Paypal. Paypal accounts can be linked and funded with credit cards, your bank account, from a friend or a MoneyPak card.
Take note that like all daily fantasy sports sites, you will be issued a 1099 for any net winnings over $600 in a calendar year. Net winnings are calculated as winnings minus entry fees.
How to Deposit on FantasyDraft
To get started, you will need to of course create an account, which you can do by clicking the link below.
Promo Code & Referral Code: PartTime
If you have already created a FantasyDraft account, sign-in and click deposit:
Once you are registered you will be given the option of depositing and take advantage of a 100% up to $600 first deposit bonus.
To make a deposit, select credit card or Paypal. Regardless of what method you choose, you will be directed to a Paypal page where you can select the method you wish to use to fund your Paypal account. Alternatively, you can use your existing Paypal balance.
When you have select your payment method and submitted your deposit, you will be given confirmation of your deposit and can return to FantasyDraft from the page. By the time you arrive back to FantasyDraft, you should see the real money in your balance ready for use. You can also find your pending bonus available in your account section.
That's it! If you have ever deposited with Paypal before, it's a really simple process that should take just a few minutes.

I have decided that Friday's will from now on be the sharing of a delicious recipe. Why not make weekends a little sweeter?! It is after all the season for home-baked treats. Last weekend Everett and I made a fantastic Pumpkin Pie together... well, three actually and they didn't last long at all. You can either go the simple route and use canned pumpkin or you can go the more fall-harvest suzy-home-maker route and roast your own pumpkin as we did. If you choose to roast your own, Everett suggests a Long Island Cheese pumpkin, if you have access to one. Cut the pumpkin in to 4 sections, place on a baking tray and put in the oven at 450°, cook until you can put a fork through pumpkin with ease, but do not burn the pumpkin. To add a bit more sweetness to the pie we decided to use gram cracker crusts, it came out great!
15 oz pumpkin or one can pumpkin
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1- 9' pie crust
Do you have a cold-weather go-to treat?!

Office Policies
Your First Visit
A thorough orthodontic examination will be performed and recommendations made as to the need and/or timing of treatment. If treatment is indicated and you would like to proceed, diagnostic records can be taken at your initial visit in order to save you time and start your treatment as soon as you would like. Diagnostic records are made to determine the best course of treatment. Complete diagnostic records typically include a medical/dental history, clinical examination, and impressions of your teeth for study models, digital photos of the patients face and teeth and x-rays. This information is used to develop a custom treatment plan for each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment.
The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the patient's problem. You will be able to discuss fees and payment options before treatment begins. We have payment plans to suit different budgets, including a no-down-payment option. We also accept assignment from most insurance plans, and file the necessary papers to the insurance company. We work hard to make orthodontics affordable.
In an effort to keep orthodontic fees down while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we have established this financial policy:
- If full payment is made at the onset of treatment, we will offer a fee discount. (If you have insurance, we will offer a discount for payment of your portion of the fee that will not be covered by insurance.)
- To fit your individual needs, financial arrangements can be made to extend your payments over a period of months.
- For your convenience, we accept payment by VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.
If you have insurance, we will help you to determine the coverage you have available. We ask that you assign your insurance benefit to us. The balance will be arranged for you to pay (see above). Professional care is provided to you, our patient, and not to an insurance company. Thus, the insurance company is responsible to the patient and the patient is responsible to the doctor. We will help in every way we can in filing your claim and handling insurance questions from our office on your behalf.


text: Rome - Rafael Nadal will continue his Roland Garros preparations with a final major tune-up at the Rome Masters, an event where he has been champion in four of the last five years.The Spanish world number one proved that his game is heading back to its lethal best as won the Madrid title when Japan's Kei Nishikori quit trailing 2-6, 6-4, 3-0 with back pain on Sunday. After surprise quarter-final defeats on his favoured clay this spring in Monte Carlo and Barcelona, Nadal will be pleased to travel to Italy as a winner.He comes to the Foro Italico with a yearning to make more history by claiming a ninth trophy at the French Open starting May 25.Nadal begins play in Rome against either Frenchman Gilles Simon or Italian Filippo Volandri.Nadal did himself a favour with his Madrid success, ensuring that he will hang onto the top ranking for another week heading into Paris.The Spaniard will begin his 32nd week in a row at number one and 134th overall. He is making his 10th straight Rome appearance, winning a record seven titles from eight finals for a 41-2 career record at the venue.He is also more optimistic about his chances over the rest of the season."I am 28 in a few weeks' time. How many years have I been on the tour? 12? That's a lot. But I'm where I am. I'm competing for tournaments and I feel well physically," said Nadal."I'm feeling better and better physically, better than a year ago. This is the most important thing. I still feel fortunate for doing what I'm doing."Novak Djokovic, who withdrew from Madrid to let a right wrist injury properly heal, returned to Rome with new coach Boris Becker in tow and immediately hit the practice courts.The second-seeded Serb opens against Czech veteran Radek Stepanek in his opener.Two-time champion Djokovic lifted the Rome title in 2008 and 2011 while losing finals in 2009 and 2012 to Nadal.Australian Open and Monte Carlo winner Stanislas Wawrinka takes the third seeding and will work to come good after his opening loss in Madrid a year after playing Nadal in that final.New father of twins Roger Federer, seeded fourth, is due to make a late decision on his participation.If he starts, the Swiss will begin in the second round against Jeremy Chardy, who defeated Robin Haase 6-4, 6-4.Madrid semi-finalist David Ferrer is seeded fifth, ahead of Tomas Berdych, number seven Andy Murray and Canadian Milos Raonic, a first-round loser a year ago who stand 0-3 on the Roman clay.The top of the women's draw remains a question mark, with top seed and holder Serena Williams hoping to be fit after withdrawing from the Madrid quarter-finals due to a left thigh injury which required a heavy strapping all week in Spain"I am planning to play in Rome. Fortunately, I have a bye next week so will have an extra day of rest," said Williams. "I will take it one day at a time and take advantage of some extra rest."The American would open against either Swiss Romina Oprandi or Germany's Andrea Petkovic in the second round.Seeded second in a duplicate of the Madrid lineup is China's Li Na, a 2012 losing finalist to Sharapova.Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska takes the third seeding ahead of Romanian Simona Halep, the runner-up to Sharapova in Madrid. Czech Petra Kvitova is seeded fifth ahead of Serb Jelena Jankovic.Sharapova has become a major force on clay after winning Madrid to follow up her Stuttgart title from last month and remains an undefeated 11-0 on the surface this spring.The Russian takes the eighth seeding. "Once I get to Rome, I'll dedicate myself to that tournament," said the winner in 2011 and 2012 who had to quit injured a year ago.

|My new Blackborow DS size Large.
The Blackborow DS was ridden in the "high" ratio set of gears today, so I will demonstrate here a switch to "low range". It takes all of about three to four minutes to accomplish a gear change. You do not need any special tools and I would recommend a rag to clean your hands since the chain will likely be greasy when you do this, although mine is pretty good looking yet since it is so new!
By the way, you shouldn't, (and cannot), cross chain the bike. I also will add that the rear hub has a full range free hub body, so if you should decide after getting a DS that you have to have gears, all you need are the parts plus a through axle, driveside, derailleur compatible Alternator plate. The cable stops are all there to run the cable to the rear derailleur should you decide to add that dangly bit. Okay, enough about all of that. Now I will get into how to change the gears here.
|A closer look at the cogs and drop out. This is the side the axle screws in to.
|Here's the Maxle lever which you flip open like a normal QR, but then you use it like a wing nut and unscrew it.....
|....until you can start to pull the axle clear of the wheel/hub. Leave the bike on the ground at this point.
|Then lift the rear of the bike straight up. This allows for some chain slack. See below for further instructions.
- Once the rear of the bike is up and you have created some chain slack, reach down with your hand and starting with the rear cog, grab the chain at the top of the cog, lift and move it over to the next cog. In my case, the inner one.
- This next step is crucial to an easy, smooth gear change. Reach down to the bottom run of the chain near the crank set and guide the chain onto the chain ring of choice, (in my case, the inner one), and push the chain "backwards", as if back pedaling, since the crank and cogs will free wheel backward while the wheels remain static. Make sure the pedals are free to rotate! Guide the chain carefully from the bottom up around to the top until it is on the chain ring. Oh.....you're still holding the bike up, by the way.
- Once the chain is on the set of gears you want, gently lower the rear of the bike, making sure the rotor passes between the pads in the caliper. Line up the hub and the inner drop out "hoods" and then set the weight of the bike on the hub end caps. Replace the Maxle, screwing it into the drive side drop out snugly, but don't reef on it! Then close the lever. That's it!
|The gears swapped and the wheel sitting on the hub end caps before reinstalling the Maxle.
The Blackborow DS was ridden to work in "high" range and that makes a speed sufficient for brisk travel. It can be a chore in fluffy, slushy snow though, and going up longer inclines can get a bit wearisome. I'd say anyone used to a stout gear for mtb should be okay with it. My commute, about 4 miles or so, is mostly uphill and if there is any amount of fresh snow or a stiff wind, I'll probably be dumping it back into the low range. The high range was a chore yesterday, but it should make me stronger if I can get used to it.
The wheel base feels shorter, but I'll have to confirm that. I feel that it is the reason it is really easy to pop a wheelie or loft the front end of this bike. Stand over is definitely what Salsa says, "the best of any" of their fat bikes. That's by at least an inch over the Beargrease and Mukluk. (Large vs Large sizes)
This is my first time on Clown Shoe rims with any of the bigger tires. I noted that this combination is "flatter" crowned than what I have seen with Surly tires. My titanium Mukluk has a Bud on a Rolling Darryl and is noticeably rounder in profile. This flatter profile manifests itself in a bit of self-steer at lower pressures and at similar pressures to the Bud/RD combo, the Clown Shoe/Lou combo is always a bit more prone to the self-steering feel. I'm okay with that with this bike since I got it for the maximum flotation of its tires and rims. It is also worth noting that the barely 4 inch wide Sterlings (made by Vee Tire) have far worse self-steer feelings at these same pressures than do the Clown Shoe/Lou combo. So, it isn't bad with the Blackborow DS, but it is there.
More on this bike later.....

Longbeards produce some super impressive patterns. Arguably better than any other lead style load. Within 40yrds with the right choke no turkey stands a chance.

Re: Longbeards....wow !
I too tried the Longbeards when I was testing new sights on my 870... at least as good as my Hevi 13 sixes and maybe better for 1/2 the price. Now I know the lead won't carry the energy at range the HTL will but if I shoot at a gobbler much over 40ish then it's an accident. The lead LBs will handle that easily. I was impressed....
Go early, stay late, keep a low profile, be a student of the woods; listen to what he's saying, don't talk too much, and if you're lucky- you might get a chance....

Posted 30/04/2014
You may be aware that we published the results of our ground breaking Category Management Survey this time last year. The 2012-13 results generated quite a buzz around procurement circles – particularly the 46% performance gap between Category Management Leaders and Followers. We are determined to make the 2014 report even more insightful and I would really value your contribution to this year's survey - click on the link here to participate.
Last time, over 300 people from 40 countries took part and the results identified the specific practices used by the best performing global leaders in Category Management. This time we have made it even quicker to complete (15 minutes) and more focused and insightful for practitioners with the objective of helping them to drive category management improvement.
We will release the findings to participants in advance of general publication. In the shorter term you can choose to receive a free report on Category Management as a Strategic Process on completion of the survey. [Following release of the findings there will be an opportunity for a personal/leadership team briefing on the findings and potentially an organisational benchmark.].
If you can find the time to participate, I'd really appreciate it. We would also be delighted if you would share this blog using the buttons below to others in your network who may be interested in the findings. Click here to start .
Many thanks in advance.

Read the first installment (strategy) here.
Read the second installment (acquisition) here.
Read the third installment (conversion) here.
When I began to think about this series of posts, my initial reaction was that retention had changed less than acquisition and conversion. I like the Peppers and Rogers model of retention – Identify > Differentiate > Interact > Personalize. It's a data-driven approach to retention and that's as is should be.
Long before the Internet, marketers who were able to identify their end customers and obtain a mailing address for them sent retention mailings—letters, catalogs, and offers of all kinds. The main difference is that the Internet allows more marketers, especially traditional mass media marketers, to identify their customers and communicate with them.
I was half right. Or maybe I was right until social media burst upon the scene a year or two ago. With that the retention scene was changed just as radically—and as permanently—as acquisition and conversion.
First, there's email. My sense is that most marketers are using it badly. We have an email list and we blast emails to it frequently. It's cheap—so what if we only get a small open rate or smaller (and declining) click-through rate? It's not hard to get an ROI that looks pretty good. We should be asking how it looks to our customers. Are we contacting them too often with communications of too little relevance? Do we need to go back to the chapter on Segmentation 101 and begin applying it to our electronic communications? It will take a bit more time and effort, and therefore will cost a bit more. Will it be worth it in terms of both conversions and—even more important over the long run—the image of and trust in our brands? Look in your own inbox, take a quick tally of how many commercial emails are really relevant to your needs, and answer the question for yourself.
Second, there's social media in the broadest sense. It gives us opportunities to push content—in a totally permissioned environment—to customers. In the process, it also allows us to reach people who might become customers, but my sense is that most of the best marketer uses of social media are for customer retention.
This whole blog is about social media, so let me just give you two brief examples, both from one of my favorite best practices sites. National Geographic publications and broadcast long predate the Internet, but they moved onto it well and smoothly. Take a look at the site and see how well they do cross promotions.
But my examples are pushing content to users on other sites and pages, all in ways that drive people to the site. They always have a great selection of screen savers and I change mine often. I'd love to show you the current Madagascar hibiscus, but my desktop is too messy. What I can show you is the bar that remains at the bottom of my desktop page. That's a constant reminder of who provided the lovely photograph that improves my pc experience and imprints the National Geographic brand in my mind.
Then there's the widget I downloaded to another blog a couple of months ago. The Green Guide Tip of the Week widget is perfect for the "Living Green at Wellfleet Bay" blog. I had to cut the size down a bit to fit in the column, so it's a bit
small, but it works. If you look carefully, you can see that there's the tip itself and two more pieces of "green" content that would drive readers to the National Geographic site. What you can see is the large "Get This Widget" bar. It should be somewhere; it is one way to increase the distribution of the widget. However, it's the largest item and it's easy to mistake it for the content. When you click, you get HTML, which could be confusing to the non-Web 2.0-savy reader. Overall, it's a great performance, though! Their newsletters are wonderful in terms of content, but I don't get the sense that the content is personalized to my activities on their site.
We all need to do branding. That applies to current customers as well as prospects. We all want to bring users to our site. We want customers to return frequently to consume content, purchase goods—whatever our objectives are. We want non-customers to come to our site in a way that makes them prospects for conversion. Good Web 2.0 applications can do both, but I maintain that retention is usually the primary objective.
For retention to work we have to be present in customers' lives in ways that are non-intrusive but that support their needs and lifestyles. We have a lot to learn, a lot to experiment with, to make that happen. I suggest that Web 2.0 applications are a great way to accomplish retention in ways that are welcomed by our customers.

El Pangán Conservation Corridor
|Nature Bird Reserve El Pangán.
This corridor had its beginnings with the establishment of the Nature Bird Reserve El Pangán in 2005 with the support of BirdLife International and Conservación Internacional, under the Program Fund for Strategic Ecosystem Alliance (CEPF). However, the process of maintaining and extending it continues thanks to the great support of Rainforest Concern.
This initiative came about to provide sustainable alternatives (training, support and management) and environmental awareness to communities neighboring the reservation as a strategy for community involvement in the ownership and care of natural resources in the area.
|River Nambí (RNA El Pangán).
This place has been considered one of the most biodiverse areas of Colombia with 21 endangered bird species and 48 endemic bird species with restricted distributions in the area of Chocó, Endemic Birds (EBA 041-Stattersfield et al. 1998) have been registered. No other protected area of comparable size within this EBA, is home to populations of so many bird species with restricted distribution, making it one of the highest priority ecosystems for conservation.
The Corridor El Pangán is located on the slope of Pacific Andes department of Nariño, Colombia, 01 ° 21'N, 78 ° 04'W, 10 km north of the village of Junin, Barbacoas Town, at an altitude of between 550 to 1,900 m and 1,900, represented by lowlands and tropical rainforests. Holdridge (1967) classifies this area into two life zones: tropical rain forest (bp-T) at an altitude of between 550 and 1,100 m and pre-montane rain forest (bp-PM) at an altitude between 1,100 and 1,700 meters.
The main objective was to establish a biological corridor between the Nature Bird Reserve El Pangán and the indigenous reserves of Camawari and Unipa. Protecting in this way 15,000 ha of tropical rain forest belt 1,300m altitude (600-1900) as a representative of forest ecosystem that preserves biodiversity and in particular ensures the survival of a good number of endemic and globally threatened species.
Conservation actions continue to be made in the area thanks to the management that it has been given by the Nature Bird Reserve Pangán. This is the oldest corridor that the ProAves Foundation has established and managed, it has taken 6 years of hard work and positioning.

UKH Review – Fjallraven Kaipak 58 Rucksack Review
During this summer I have been trying out the the Fjallraven Kaipak 58 rucksack in the mountains and forests here for our work with UKHillwalking.com
There is enough padding on the waist and shoulders for them not to be noticed, but it doesn't seem excessive. For one overnight trip with clients the overall 'wet' weight of the pack (including food, water and camera kit) was around 17kg and our reviewer was not left wanting more foam between the straps and my body. The adjustment for both the waist and shoulders stays in place once set, which is more than can be said for many packs on the market.
You can read the rest of the review (as part of a group test) here:

Following Intel's footsteps, TSMC, Taiwan's largest semiconductor manufacturing company, recently put a 5% equity stake in Dutch chip equipment maker ASML, investing an estimated total of 1.4 Billion USD.
The goal, as has been suggested in an earlier article, is to help boost ASML's R&D department and to facilitate the development of technologies related to 450mm wafers and EUV lithography. At the moment, effectively controlling wafer manufacturing costs using existing plant equipments and technology remains an issue for both Intel and TSMC. For the latter company, in particular, rising expenses is amongst the concerns that have lingered in spite of the recent partnership with ARM and the switch from 40nm to 28nm processes.
In the event that the ASML investment does yield successful results, the two aforementioned technologies will not just help the company's investors, but also benefit the industry as a whole. Chips, for one, will be manufactured in a much more efficient rate and at a significantly lower cost. The size of the circuits etched onto wafers is also expected to decrease, meaning that larger quantities of chips can be manufactured in a single run, saving both time and money. With more efficient technologies at hand, and with the EUV potentially becoming mainstream, some analysts, as reported by Reuter, predict that consumers will one day see tablet PCs that costs as little as $50 USD.
All these are certainly good news for TSMC, which recently reported an estimated 16% net profit growth for the second quarter of this year. In the long run, the Taiwanese company's invested faith in ASML and EUV technology gives it the potential to keep up with Intel in terms of chip-making technology, and allows it to maintain its already dominant stature in the industry. The ability to produce chips at a faster, less expensive rate will also help protect the "economic viability of Moore's Law," according to TSMC executive vice president Chiang Shang-Yi.
Looking at these recent set of developments, along with the promising prospects of the technologies being invested in, one can argue that the path to future chip manufacturing advancements, along with potential wave of cheap PCs, smartphones, and tablets, is closer to us than it seems.

Reflecting on our past can in so many ways bring us healing. We have all been in relationships or situations that if given the opportunity and if we knew then what we know now, we would have avoided. If you took the time to really reflect on your past relationships, patterns of behavior or on the not so good choices you have made, you would notice that there were signs and flashing red signals that were warning you to steer clear all along. You know that feeling of uneasiness, that inner voice nudging or prompting you in your spirit, that nagging feeling that something just doesn't feel or seem right. Some may call it their conscious, but Christians know it as the Holy Spirit. Sometimes, you may not have fully understood the initial signals, so you explained them away as either just your imagination or you told yourself that your apprehension or pause, was only fear. Reflecting will help you determine why.
You Can't Change the Past
There are tons of reasons why you proceeded to run into that brick wall, but the impact of your choices may remain the same if you don't discover the source or reason for them. The last thing we want to do, is to dwell in the painful past because it cannot be changed and it could prevent you from moving forward, thus stunting your spiritual growth. No, reflecting will not erase your mistakes. You can't change the past, but you can learn from it. Being able to reflect, not only on the choices you made, but on how far you have come by God's grace, in spite of them, will not only help to ensure that those mistakes and choices will not be repeated, but that the emotional baggage does not destroy your chances at experiencing true peace.
Building Walls Around Your Heart
The process of reflection will free you up to move past the destructive feelings of un-forgiveness, guilt, regret, bitterness and fear, which are all counter to God's plan for your life. These negative feelings help to build and fortify walls around your heart that you believe won't allow hurt and pain to penetrate. However, darkness begins to surround your heart and mind until it is all that you can see, touch, hear or feel. In the process, darkness is trapped inside of you without a way out, but God's love, forgiveness, healing and peace cannot shine in either. In the end, this can serve no other purpose but to move and to keep you from being in the proper position to grab hold of your blessings. Running and denial will not bring emotional healing, only reflecting, facing it and seeking God through it, can.

Greetings Everyone -
It is my pleasure to announce the availability of Ext JS 4.2.0 Beta 2! The bits can be found here:
We have started a minor reorganization of our CDN structure to cleanly separate products and their beta releases.
The CDN location for this beta build is as follows:
We will be copying older versions in to this structure (and maintaining their old locations) in the coming days.
On to more interesting topics.
Tree / TreeGrid
In this beta we have completed our performance improvements of the grid-family for the 4.2 release with the Tree and TreeGrid.
For starters, the new buffferedrenderer plugin now works with Tree and TreeGrid! By minimizing the DOM footprint, a tree can now contain a much larger number of nodes. Beyond this, tree expand and collapse processing has been optimized. Event bubbling in tree nodes has also been optimized to avoid firing events "up the tree" in situations where there are no listeners present.
All of this should allow trees to remain responsive even with large data sets.
We have added the ability for a controller to handle events fired by stores or other controllers. The selection syntax to select from non-components is much more limited than a full ComponentQuery. For example, in your controller you can now do this:
Enjoy and let us know what needs squashing!Code:this.listen({ store: { '#mystoreid': { add: this.onMyStoreAdd }, '*': { remove: this.onAnyStoreRemove } }, controller: { '#somecontroller': { someevent: this.onSomeEventFromSomeController } }, component: // same as "this.control" });

Java: Programs
Kinds of Programs
There are several types of programs that you can build in Java.
- Applications - Main programs that run independently. It can have either a Command-Line Interface (CLI) or a Graphical User Interface (GUI).
- Applets - Programs downloaded over the Internet that run in Web pages.
- WebStart - Programs that run over the web. The Lopica site (lopica.sourceforge.net) is a good place to start for more information.
- Servlets - Programs that run on a Web server.
- JavaBeans - Components that can be used by other programs.
These notes cover only applications and a little bit about applets - the two most common forms of Java programs in textbooks. There was a lot of enthusiasm for Applets when Java first appeared because no other kind of program could safely be distributed over the Internet, but now applications, just normal programs, are seen as more important.

The mind is willing, the flesh is weak – Wednesday, 25 January 2012 Super Admin
So, what we are seeing here, which Tony Pua did not address, is actually a fight to become the next Prime Minister. And for those (other than Anwar) who want to become Prime Minister, they will need to first weaken Najib before they bring him down, like what they did to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
"It will leave Najib in history as the prime minister who failed moderation. Without sincerity and political will from the top leadership, Perkasa has the tacit approval to do its worse in the light of the upcoming general elections to sow fear into the hearts of the Malay-Muslim community in order to protect the vote bank for Umno."
That was what Tony Pua said today (you can read the full news report below). Pua also said that while the prime minister was pushing for Malaysia to lead a global movement of moderates for peace, he was actually creating a fertile ground in breeding extremist racism and religion.
Actually, what Tony Pua said was not too far off the mark. But Tony Pua was only looking at one side of the coin. A coin has two sides. So let me talk about the other side, which Tony Pua did not address.
Politics is about power. And the objective of power is to try to retain it and not lose it. And power at the top is about becoming the Prime Minister and to try to remain as Prime Minister without getting ousted.
Hence, everything that Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak says and does must be with this in mind.
Note that Najib is not the only one who wants to become Prime Minister (or retain his post as Prime Minister). Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin also wants to become Prime Minister. So do Anwar Ibrahim, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, Khairy Jamaluddin, Mukhriz Mahathir, Ali Rustam, Muhammad bin Mohd Taib, Khir Toyo, Hishammuddin Hussein, Mohd Isa Abdul Samad, Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik, Rais Yatim, etc. In fact, I can add at least another ten or so names to that list.
That makes about two dozen or so aspirants. And I am not including those from PAS and only one name from PKR. If not, the list would run into at least 30 names.
But only one can be the Prime Minister. And if anyone else wants to become the Prime Minister then he (or they) will need to topple the incumbent. Of course, if Anwar wants to become the Prime Minister then he will have to ensure that Pakatan Rakyat gets to form the next federal government. For all the others, they will have to embark upon an 'inside job'.
So, what we are seeing here, which Tony Pua did not address, is actually a fight to become the next Prime Minister. And for those (other than Anwar) who want to become Prime Minister, they will need to first weaken Najib before they bring him down, like what they did to Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
"It will leave Najib in history as the prime minister who failed moderation," said Tony Pua. That is true. But what Tony Pua did not state is: will Najib have failed moderation because he is not sincere about moderation or will he fail because he is being blocked from moderation?
Now, when I use the word 'sincere', please don't get me wrong. I am not using the word 'sincere' in the context that you and I understand it. I am using that word in the context of how a politician would see it.
To a politician, sincere is doing what can get him votes and allow him to retain power. Hence, Najib's 'sincerity' means doing what the voters want (in particular the non-Malay voters who he needs to win back after losing them in 2008).
Nevertheless, he is 'sincere', in the political context, about moderation. And if he can convince the voters about his sincerity, in particular the non-Malays, then Barisan Nasional can be assured of winning back many of the seats it lost in 2008 and Pakatan Rakyat can be reduced to less than 80 parliament seats and maybe just two states or so.
That would mean Najib would have performed superbly, going by the standards of the 2008 general election. And that would also mean there is no reason to oust Najib like they did Abdullah Badawi after the disaster of the 2008 general election.
To justify kicking Najib out, Barisan Nasional must lose more than 90 parliament seats and at least five states, maybe even six. Of course, Barisan Nasional will still form the federal government but Najib would have to go. Then Malaysia will see a new Prime Minister, but still one from Umno.
Does Najib really have control over Perkasa? Who controls Perkasa? Would Najib dare clamp down on Perkasa and incur the wrath of the hidden hand behind Perkasa? Is Najib ready for political suicide and suffer the fate of Abdullah Badawi?
Tony Pua is focusing on the issue of Perkasa. That is being a bit naïve. Tony Pua failed to mention Pekida. Pekida is more dangerous than Perkasa. Perkasa, which is headed by Ibrahim Ali, only screams and shouts, and once in a while holds demonstrations of 100 or so members.
Pekida, however, is more militant. Pekida is the IRA of Umno, not Perkasa. But you do not see them or hear them. There are many members of Pekida in the government, in Umno, in the military, in the police force, etc. This is the real paramilitary force of Umno. In fact, Abdullah Badawi is the leader of Pekida in Penang and Dr Mahathir the leader of Pekida in Kedah. And we have Pekida in Selangor and all over Malaysia, all headed by key Umno leaders.
Tony Pua should not over-simplify the issue. The problem is not Najib. The problem is the hidden hands in Umno and the hidden 'structure', such as Pekida, that was set up soon after the race riots of 13th May 1969.
There are things that I sometimes can't talk about. Sometimes we have to give an impression that we are not aware of what is going on so that we can better prepare our counter-strategy. But when Pakatan Rakyat leaders start going off-tangent and hit the wrong target, then I am forced to say my piece at the risk of revealing what is up our sleeve.
Some of you have been in this game since 2007 when the Bersih and Hindraf marches first exploded onto the scene. So I can quite understand why you look at things from only one perspective. We have been in this game since 1977, 30 years before that. And there are many things that have happened over the last 43 years since 1969 that many of you are not privy to. In fact, many of you were not even born yet then. [[[ *** So what if anyone is older, or richer or wiser? Some old or rich or wise people have been around too long doing nothing selfishly glorifyig in themselves to no purpose, they might as well not have been born, makes no difference if they're here or not . . . *** ]]]
Moderate Malaysia in danger from Umno and Perkasa, says DAP
(The Malaysian Insider) – Datuk Seri Najib Razak's failure to rein in Perkasa is jeopardising Malaysia's name internationally as a moderate country, DAP's Tony Pua said today.
"The game that Umno and Perkasa are playing, regardless of the outcome of the next general election, is a highly dangerous one which may forever tarnish Malaysia's reputation as a moderate country," the opposition lawmaker said in a statement today.
"It will leave Najib in history as the prime minister who failed moderation," he added.
The DAP publicity chief was responding to the latest published remarks from Perkasa's secretary-general who had said that "the faith of Islam, of Muslims is under siege in Selangor".
He noted that the right-wing movement seemed to imply that Christians were likely to become more aggressive in their proselytisation attempts in Selangor with its Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim now in charge of Islamic affairs.
The religious portfolio was previously handled by conservative Datuk Hasan Ali, until earlier this month when he was sacked from Islamic PAS for repeatedly breaching the party's official stand.
Pua noted that while the prime minister was pushing for Malaysia to lead a global movement of moderates for peace, he was actually creating a fertile ground in breeding extremist racism and religion.
The Petaling Jaya Utara MP pointed to the prime minister's inaction against right-wing Malay movement's growing increasing audacity in issuing statements that provoke fear and anger between Muslims and Christians in the country.
He added the fact that such statements were carried in mainstream media owned by the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) lynchpin, Umno, proved "Najib is either hopeless or devious in the fight against extremism".
Pua raised again the 2010 attacks against houses of worship nationwide by extremists following a court ruling allowing the Catholic Church to publish the word "Allah", and reminded that such "freedom provided Perkasa and its ilk… will not lead to any peaceful outcome".
He said, "Without sincerity and political will from the top leadership, Perkasa has the tacit approval to do its worse in the light of the upcoming general elections to sow fear into the hearts of the Malay-Muslim community in order to protect the vote bank for Umno."
Malaysia's 28 million population is over 60 per cent Muslim, but more than half its citizens in Sarawak and Sabah, long considered the ruling BN's vote bank, are predominantly Christian.
Tony is full of selective amnesia and biased thinking in spirit of law issues and careerism and limitless terms or nepotism. Can you trust a country to a person who is like that? And thanks for introducing 'Voldemort' (Perkida) to Malaysia. Perkida? I remember one Kida, that was the character from Disney's Atlantis though, other than being rather 'brown', I doubt there is any similarity between the two.
You were saying? Pak Lah is such a bad guy?!? Well to most of us, he was among the most uninvolved PMs (also shortest reigning – due to nepotism issues) ever. To say he is part of some murderous secret society is just too much to believe. You're part of the UMNO propaganda machine aren't you RPK? We don't hate UMNO in that way, now you made BN even more unvotable for the wrong reasons. Sick but effective, quite worthy of another half-blooder (beginning to see a pattern here?) . . . but too damn Jewish ALL THE SAME. Return to Malaysia and run for a seat honestly, don't spout rubbish from afar which only proves you are a strawman.
Pekida (Malaysia) – Sunday, 29 January 2012 admin-s by Hakim Joe – Malaysia Today
In the Pekida website, one of its mission statements read as such: "Kami berjanji mematuhi peruntukkan perlembagaan sebagai dan menjadi ahli yang berdaftar dan terus berusaha mencapai objektif pertubuhan supaya menjadi sebuah organisasi Melayu yang terulung." (Hunga-Bunga! JK . . . ) Can anyone find fault with it? What if an Indian or Chinese organization states exactly the same thing (replacing the word Melayu with India or Cina)?
Pekida is an acronym for Pertubuhan Kebajikan dan Dakwah Islamiah Malaysia, and it has such a low profile that even Wikipedia does not have an entry on it.
Pekida did not surface from its self-imposed hermitage until the circulation of an SMS warning about a gathering of Malay extremists in Kuala Lumpur in response to the Hindraf issue in 2007. Pekida is also known as "Tiga Line" and their flag consists of three colours; red, yellow and green, mimicking the traffic lights.
Pekida is not a new organization and has been around for quite some time. It was formed immediately after the May 13 Race Riots in 1969 and its main objective was to create a frontline in the event of another race riot, and because of its intricate ties to the government, Pekida's major purpose has been somewhat diluted to include the retention of BN as the GOM and henceforth its subtle involvement as a major force to disrupt the Opposition as with the Perak Political Crisis in 2008 and Ops Lalang in 1987.
Pekida is not an isolated organization either. Since its inception forty and more years ago, its web of members include many highly placed political and military figures including prime ministers, cabinet members, government officials and high ranking police and military personnel. As such, it is a well-funded and well-organized group of paramilitary people and is seen to be the "fifth BN column", and since the Razak Administration all Menteri Besars and State UMNO Chiefs have been high-ranking members of Pekida.
Both the Social Contract and Ketuanan Melayu principles were originated from Pekida. In a 2009 interview with the Pekida president, Jamaluddin Yusof, he said, "Ketuanan Melayu is important because if we do not become tuan (masters) we become hamba (servants)." Does this mean that all Malays should become tuans and all other races exist as hambas to serve them? If such is the case, what is different between Ketuanan Melayu and Apartheid?
Pekida, like Umno, MCA and MIC are all about race segregation, quite similar to the South Africa apartheid of before. In the 2011 address to the Pekida general assembly, PM Najib pledged that his party, Umno, would not allow the Malay race to be oppressed in its own land, "We will not surrender even an inch!" As such, the race issue becomes an essential formula for BN to attempt to retain power; not social, economic or other more important factors.
In the Pekida website, one of its mission statements read as such: "Kami berjanji mematuhi peruntukkan perlembagaan sebagai dan menjadi ahli yang berdaftar dan terus berusaha mencapai objektif pertubuhan supaya menjadi sebuah organisasi Melayu yang terulung." Can anyone find fault with it? What if an Indian or Chinese organization states exactly the same thing (replacing the word Melayu with India or Cina)?
For an organization that declares the safeguarding of Malay Rights as their singular priority, it henceforth does not make much sense when they gave official warning to the organizers of the Free Anwar 901 rally, an event that has nothing to do with Malay Rights. Similar harsh warnings were given to the BERSIH rally organizers. The question begets now whether Pekida is actually protecting Malays or Umno.
In the recently released movie KL Gangster, it was exposed that the film producers used quite a few of Pekida's "secret codes" in their scenes and that the KL Gangster hierarchy was also based on the Pekida own power pyramid. Kumpulan 77, Kumpulan Merah, Semerah Padi and Pewaris are all gangs formed by Pekida members of whom has gone rogue, so says Pekida (after the release of the movie, not before) and hence their house cleaning these days.
So, is Pekida an organized group of legalized gangsters (RM13 membership fees), a Malay Rights protector (are they absconding the Sultans' job?), an Umno crony or a non-racist (even though they only accept Malays), non-political (even though the majority of their leaders are from Umno) and non-government organization?
Jamaluddin Yusof, he said, "Ketuanan Melayu is important because if we do not become tuan (masters) we become hamba (servants)." Does this mean that all Malays should become tuans and all other races exist as hambas to serve them?
If such is the case, what is different between Ketuanan Melayu and Apartheid? Hegelian dialectic. Why either or? Master or slave? How about ALL are equal and citizens, neither Master nor Slave? Master-Slave is only possible if both parties are into either roles my BDSM similar sounding proponent fellow citizen. Neither of all races here are into this tuan-hamba thing (except lapdog political parties and 'ketuanan types'), we just want to live as equal citizens. This is not about who has the right to government goodies now is it?
At the end of all the b.s. we are all world citizens? Why so inward looking and communal? Also the race riots were a false flag to implement Emergency Laws by the colonial forces so they could make the races hate each other, so that the Colonials could be mediators and indirectly control Malaysia with half-blood princes like dr.Evil. Hope this is simple enough for Perkida to recognize. Colonial sickness affects the racists among Malaysians whatever political party they are from.
Qur'an (3:118) – "O you who believe! do not take for intimate friends from among others than your own people, they do not fall short of inflicting loss upon you; they love what distresses you; vehement hatred has already appeared from out of their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater still; indeed, We have made the communications clear to you, if you will understand." This verse only warns Muslims not to take non-Muslims as friends (though Muslims are much friendlier with people who have lived beside them for a long time), but says nothing about equality being bad (we can not be friends but still live as equals, with separate no-entry areas for things either or both cannot abide by. Also Malaysia is a signatory of the UNHCR and must abide by Article 1, which is also parallel to the issue of avoiding the 'Sin of Asabiya'. Ironically, Islam never was Malaysia's native faith which is Nusantaran Animism.
Ask the non ethnic English citizens like Scottish, Welsh and Irish or especially Africans holding English citizenships about divide and conquer. Just watch Braveheart otherwise . . .
