Saudi Light-Heavy Spread at Year High; JX Buys ESPO: Asia Crude
Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, increased the price difference between its light and heavy grades to buyers in Asia to the widest gap in a year.
The light-heavy spread for crude purchased in October rose to $3.75 a barrel, up $1 from September, the highest in 12 months, according to prices announced yesterday by Saudi Arabian Oil Co. The producer raised Arab Light differentials by 60 cents to $1.85 a barrel above benchmark Oman and Dubai, while lowering Arab Heavy by 40 cents to a discount of $1.90 a barrel below the marker grades.
JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corp. bought a cargo of East Siberia-Pacific Ocean crude loading Oct. 27 to Oct. 30 from OAO Rosneft at a premium as high as $4.50 a barrel, according to three people who participate in the market, asking not to be identified because the information is confidential.
The Japanese refiner has purchased at least four shipments of the Russian grade for loading next month. The company bought one for Oct. 10 to Oct. 14 from Mitsubishi Corp. at about $4.50 a barrel above benchmark Dubai prices, two people said yesterday.
The company also bought an Oct. 6 to Oct. 7 ESPO from TNK-BP, two people familiar with the deal said. A fourth, loading Oct. 24 to Oct. 27, was purchased at a premium of about $4.50 a barrel, one of the people said.
PT Pertamina, Indonesia's state-owned oil company, purchased 600,000 barrels of Cossack crude for delivery in November to its refinery in Balikpapan, said an official who asked to remain unidentified, citing company policy.
The shipment is Pertamina's third for November. The company bought 950,000 barrels of Libya's El Sharara and another 600,000 barrels of Cossack for its Cilacap refinery, the official said.
Refining Margins
Profits from processing a barrel of benchmark Dubai crude into fuels such as diesel and gasoline priced in the regional trading hub of Singapore averaged $4.84 during the last five days, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The 30-day average is $5.66.
Dubai crude's backwardation, when near-term deliveries are more expensive than later supplies, rose 4 cents. Spot prices were $1.28 a barrel more than levels for cargoes two months later, according to PVM data.
The October Brent-Dubai exchange for swaps, which measures the European oil's premium to the Mideast marker, fell 18 cents to $3.02 a barrel, according to PVM data. The November EFS lost 10 cents to $3.14.
Oman oil for November fell rose 46 cents to settle at $112.25 a barrel at 12:30 p.m. on the Dubai Mercantile Exchange.
No Dubai partial cargoes were sold today, according to a survey of people who monitor the Platts pricing window.

Anchor Point during a bombing January swell in 2009 and the Roxy Team guides were running a ski and a zodiac through the lineup, giving rides back to the top of the point and filming, and it REALLY took away from what was one of the best big days of surf I have ever experienced. The smell and noise of the two-stroke buzzing constantly was truly obnoxious. I realize you can't ever expect to surf solo there or without distraction (cause the "rash" is always on it at Anchors), but the girls' support team was too much.

"some roided up kook with a buzz cut shows up on a ski (imagine NJShredmachine on a ski) and proceeds to try and ride the waves, weaving through all of us in the lineup." Erock

Keep your damn ski out of the water??? Where else should he use it? Maybe when he got the ski, the manual said to only use it on Jupiter Island.

I believe maritime law requires 100 yards from the surf line or something like that. This of course only applies to populated beach municipalities

Feb 28, 2013, 08:51 PM
Unless you're at an offshore break there aren't many places on the east coast where tow-ats/ins would be legal. Most localities have a 300'-1000' rule. If they do allow launching from the beach you are restricted to the minimum speed to maintain steering. With that being said, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it.....
\nI don't care if you're if you're wake surfing in the shorebreak with dad's $150,000 cigarette boat as long as the people that have to deal with you and pay for your f**kups are you and the guy at the end of the rope.

And why didn't you just confront the man, be nice but firm, and explain how dangerous it is, he may have just left, I know the area and there are plenty of places without people around to do that kind of crap, and if he gave you and your buds a hard time that's when I would have made a call...no doubt

\nWell, we started yelling at him then he proceeded to talk sh!t. Me and two other guys paddled up to him-' + '-one on each side and one right in front of him, I was on the kill-switch side of the ski. Guy on the other side pulled the dude by the lifejacket trying to pull him into the water while I grabbed the kill switch tether off his arm and off the ski then tossed it into the impact zone. Guy in front of the ski started pushing it towards shore while the beefhead tried to swim down the dude that pulled him in the water. Wave catches the ski and flips it upside down then pushes it up against the breakwall... a couple more waves come in, trash the ski in the wall and push it towards shore until it hit bottom.
\nWe all paddled away from the guy as he was having a conniption and proceeded to laugh and watch him retrieve his ski only to realize he didn't have his kill switch key. The cops eventually showed up, wrote the dude a ticket then left... with the guy still stuck on the beach with a disabled ski.
\nNot necessarily condoning this solution, but it sure was funny-' + '-especially since the cops waved at us right as they were leaving. (Anyone who was around WB back then remembers Trey, coolest cop WB ever had)

Let me reiterate: I was in high school, you know-' + '-still more stones than sense. I have no doubt the situation could have turned out much different very easily. Plus, being a WB rat I and most of my friends and family knew the cops and they knew us. I'm sure Trey must have mentioned something about feeling the Wrath of God if the guy decided to come after us, or something to that effect.
I'll post up my story involving wakeboarding, ski jumping wake immediately behind me, a run-over, a chase-down, a kill-switch key, a wooden oar and the butt end of a gaff.

Yeah, sorry just wanted to rant about it before, first time I've ever seen a ski zoom past me in the lineup.
\nI just didn't get why he wasn't catching the really nice waves like 500-600 yards out, if you've ever surf near the Jupiter Inlet area you know what I'm talking about, just seemed like a reckless waste to be catching the break closer to shore.

Well, if one agrees with Darwin's theories, then we are all decended from a-holes. Really. The more aggressive and pushy homonids would push aside the more laid back ones (you know the ones with a sense of ettiquite and manners instilled within them). These pushy hominids ate more food and mated with more of the females passing the douchenozzle gene on for hundreds of thousands of years to Year of Our Lord 2013.
What we see is the perpetuation of this evolutionary trend. And it looks like Captain Ski has begun to reproduce. . . .

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) - A Smyrna woman who dropped off her
12-year-old son at a Nebraska hospital under the state's safe haven
law is scheduled to go to court on Thursday in an attempt to regain
The woman, 33-year-old Tysheema Brown, is scheduled to appear in
Cobb County Juvenile Court in a case that was continued more than a
month ago.
Brown has said she was worried her son would end up in jail if she didn't do something drastic to address his unruly behavior.
Officials with Boys Town High School, a school for troubled youths, have said they are talking with Brown about enrolling her son there.
Brown graduated from Boys Town in the 1990s.
The boy has been in state custody since returning to Georgia in
late October.

The effects of varying the Al content in the range of 11–15 at.% on the microstructure and room-temperature mechanical properties of lamellar-structured FeNiMnAl alloys with compositions close to Fe30Ni20Mn35Al15 have been studied, and the temperature dependence of the yield strength of one composition, i.e., Fe36Ni18Mn33Al13, has been investigated. All alloys consisted of B2 and fcc phases. Decreasing the Al content initially (13 and 14 at.% Al) led to marked increases in both the fcc phase fraction and fcc lamellar spacing, λ, but, on further reducing the Al content (11 and 12 at.% Al), the lamellar structure was no longer present. The elongation to fracture of the FeNiMnAl alloys increased with the decreasing Al concentration from 6.5 % at 15 at.% Al to 31.1 % at 11 at.% Al with a concomitant decrease in the yield stress from 820 to 255 MPa. For the lamellar-structured alloys, the yield stress, σ y, obeyed a Hall–Petch-type relationship with λ, i.e., \( \sigma_{y } = \sigma^{\prime}_{0} + k^{\prime}\lambda^{ - 1} \), where \( \sigma^{\prime}_{0} \) is the lattice resistance, and k′ is a constant. The compressive yield stress of Fe36Ni18Mn33Al13 was found to be independent of temperature up to 700 K, after which it decreased dramatically because of the softening of the B2 phase. All alloys showed ductile fracture modes.

Quality Assessment of Low Bit-Rate Coding for Broadcasting
The assessment of low bit-rate audio coding systems for broadcasting applications normally involves conducting subjective tests. Measurement methods have been devised for assessing audio quality, but at the present time broadcasters are still relying on assessments conducted by listeners.: In recent years, the BBC has been heavily involved in listening tests for the Eureka 147 Digital Audio Broadcasting project and for the CCIR. All aspects of this work, including the selection of critical program material, the editing and recording of the processed and unprocessed material, the running of the tests, and the analysis of results, can be very time consuming, and need to be carried out with care.: This paper describes the work carried out at the BBC's Research Department in the testing of low bit-rate codecs, and presents some of the results obtained.

The campaign arm of the Senate Republicans has already withdrawn $5 million in advertising planned for the Missouri race. The Karl Rove-backed Crossroads organization pulled its ads, too. A fundraiser planned in Washington for next month was called off after all of the dozen GOP senators who had agreed to participate pulled out.
Crossroads President and CEO Steven Law suggested Tuesday that Akin was potentially helping Democrats retain their Senate majority by remaining in the race.
"The stakes in this election are far bigger than any one individual," said Brian Walsh, a spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee. By staying in the race, Akin "is putting at great risk many of the issues that he and others in the Republican Party are fighting for."
Without that financial backing, Akin will need the support of social conservatives, who have formed his political base through a 12-year congressional career.
Noreen McCann, who lives in the same suburban St. Louis area as Akin, said Tuesday that his rape comment hasn't weakened her support for him. McCann expressed frustration that Akin was being publicly flayed for his ill-chosen words while other Democrats — specifically President Bill Clinton — have survived scandals that included accusations of sexual impropriety and lies.
Akin "is a man of principle. I trust and respect his integrity and his commitment to defending American values," said McCann, who had passed out Akin fliers on primary election day. "I think he wants to defend all innocent human life. If he misspoke, or it was in the wrong context, that is not a major problem for me."
But other Missouri Republicans are second-guessing their support for Akin.
Steven and Carolyn Sipes, a pair of retired public school teachers who are GOP committee members in southwest Missouri's Christian County, both voted for Akin in the primary. Carolyn is now doing some soul-searching prayer about whether Akin remains the best choice. Her husband believes Republicans will have a better shot of unseating McCaskill without Akin.
"If he decides to stay in, I'll back him to the hilt," Steven Sipes said. But "I think it would be better probably if he did drop out at this point. He's getting a lot of negative publicity."
Akin's campaign released an open letter Tuesday from Jack Willke, former president of the U.S. National Right to Life Committee, stating he was "outraged at how quickly Republican leaders have deserted" Akin.
Akin "remains a strong and courageous pro-life leader — and awkward wording in one sound bite doesn't negate that," Willke's statement said.

Call comes following a court ruling striking down an amnesty decree protecting Asif Ali Zardari from facing corruption charges.
Last updated on: January 13, 2011 5:17 AM
Pakistani opposition groups are calling for President Asif Ali Zardari to step down from office following a court ruling striking down an amnesty decree protecting him and other senior officials from facing charges of corruption.
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the National Reconciliation Ordinance, which grants amnesty to some 8,000 senior politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen, conflicts with Pakistan's constitution.
The ruling opens the door for the reopening of all corruption and criminal cases pending against the president's close aides and political allies.
Mr. Zardari is immune from prosecution while in office, however his opponents plan to challenge his eligibility to hold the post.
Members of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party have called on him to resign on moral grounds.
Former President Pervez Musharraf introduced the amnesty in the 2007 National Reconciliation Ordinance.
The measure was part of a power-sharing deal reached with Mr. Zardari's wife, former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. She was assassinated two months later, two weeks before general elections in which she was a leading opposition candidate.
In other news, Pakistani intelligence officials say a suspected US drone (unmanned missile) killed two suspected militants in the country's northwestern tribal region.
Thursday's attack targeted a vehicle carrying the two in the town of Dosali in North Waziristan near Pakistan's border with Afghanistan.
Some information for this report was provided by AP and AFP.

I have been good about alternating from my left side to my right side while sleeping at night, but I think I still am getting pressure sores. It looks basically like a very mild sunburn, but doesn't itch, isn't bumpy, or really bothersome. If you put a little pressure with your hand on it, you can see white finger marks just like with sunburn. I noticed it on my upper thighs near my hip joint. I always thought it was something related to the water temp of my showers since that's the only time I actually would see it. My husband noticed when I was changing the other day so I started to research it a little.
I'm thinking it's just the pressure of all my newly-gained excess weight and the fact that even though it's well within it's life span - we really could use another bed!
I will mention this at my next doctor appt on Monday, but I was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

This state trooper was not about to let the drag-racing driver of the purple Porsche get away, according to an arrest report. Even if it took a few days. When the trooper saw the Porsche racing a Dodge Viper on Boynton Beach Boulevard the morning of April 1, he turned on his radar gun. It was a 45-mph zone, but the Porsche was pegged at 75 mph. The driver of the Viper was stopped, arrested and booked in at the jail, but the driver of the Porsche didn't surrender so easily.

Plans call for opening the store by late next year at 4645 Volunteer Road in Davie, with at least 10 employees initially. Penske already has bought more than seven acres for the facility, Pordon said.

First she smashed her Kia into a Mercedes. Then she hit a Porsche. Finally, she hit the same Mercedes again. The luxury bumper car shenanigans in Boca Raton on Wednesday left thousands of dollars in damage and a driver under arrest on a DUI charge, according to police. It also shocked a top-ranked tennis player, who was riding in the Porsche when it was hit. Kei Nishikori, the 15th ranked player on the ATP World Tour and the No. 3 seed in this week's Delray Beach Open, said he wasn't hurt in the crash.

By Erika Pesantes and Mike Clary, Sun Sentinel
October 22, 2013
The families of two down-and-out men killed by an out-of-control luxury car have been awarded a joint $2.2 million, lawyers said Tuesday. Police say Alyza Rachel Russell, 22, was driving drunk when she fatally struck the men with her mother's 2012 Porsche Panamera in downtown Fort Lauderdale in June. The men killed - Mackendy Jules, 30, and Samuel Artez Martindale, 35 - were known in the homeless community and were regulars at a nonprofit center that helps the homeless. Jules' father, Jean Jules, 48, said the money from the settlement likely will not change his life too much.

Citing flight risk, judge sets bond for Porsche driver charged with 2 DUI manslaughter deaths
By Erika Pesantes and David Fleshler, Sun Sentinel
July 4, 2013
When she fatally struck two men in Fort Lauderdale with her mother's Porsche, Alyza Rachel Russell had a blood alcohol level of more than twice the legal limit, police say. At a hearing Wednesday, a Broward judge set the 22-year-old's bond at $450,000, after a prosecutor said she had told a co-worker she planned to flee to Europe. Russell, who works at a South Florida dental equipment repair company, holds dual U.S. and British citizenship. Assistant State Attorney Eric Linder called her a flight risk, saying she had reapplied for a passport with the British consulate, appeared to have paid for the application with her debit or credit card after the crash and talked about fleeing to Ireland.

Crunchy moms, feel free to vent some more in the comments!
1) Eww! Why do you want to scrub shit out of diapers? That's nasty.
I'd like to say "So are diaper rashes and scrubbing shit off my child's back. It's also environmentally friendly you tree hating "explative" "
2) You'd rather make your own baby food and risk giving your baby listeria over buying healthy baby food that's pre canned?
"Really, because that 'healthy' store baby food is checked full of preservatives and additives? It's called washing fresh veggies and fruits asshat"
3) Your baby won't get everything it needs if you EBF.
This doesn't even deserve a response.
4) Your going to drop your baby trying to put it in that stupid wrap?
"You obviously got dropped and your ok"
5) Co-sleeping is asking for an accidental smothering.
"Meanwhile your baby is choking from next door and you can't hear it!"
I just had to share what I would like to say to some of these people...I'm not even sure why someone would go out of the way to criticise someone for making every possible healthy effort they can... Grr!

Is it in anyway possible to grab it before it outputs or is there a way to grab it and write it to a custom field and then pull it from there?
Thanks in advance.

May 18 (No.20001-71)- The oldest
opera tradition of China, Japanese Nôgaku
theatre, Sicilian puppet theatre, the Andean carnival
of Oruro, Georgian singing, Ifugao narratives from the
Philippines, the world of story-tellers, musicians and
other mountebanks of a public square in Marrakech, as
well as the oral and musical heritages of several
African communities, are among the 19
cultural spaces and forms of expression to which
UNESCO today gave the title of "masterpieces
of the oral and intangible heritage of humanity".
proclamation of masterpieces of the oral and
intangible heritage of humanity, the first of its
kind, was made at the end of a 3-day meeting of an
international jury of 18 members, chaired by the
Spanish author Juan Goytisolo, which reviewed 32
of the proclaimed masterpieces were presented by
countries of the American continent. They are: the
language, dances and music of the Garifuna (Belize,
supported by Honduras and Nicaragua); the Oruro
Carnival (Bolivia); the cultural space of the Brotherhood
of the Holy Spirit of the Congos of Villa Mella
(Dominican Republic); the oral
heritage and cultural manifestations of the Zapara
People (Ecuador and Peru).
African cultural spaces and forms of expression have
also been distinguished as masterpieces: The
oral heritage of Gelede, (Benin, supported by Nigeria
and Togo); the Gbofe of Afounkaha: the Music of
the transverse trumpets of the Tagbana
community (Côte d'Ivoire); the cultural space
of Sosso
Bala in Niagassola (Guinea).
Asia, UNESCO honoured six masterpieces: Kunqu
opera (China); Kutiyattam
Sanskrit theatre (India); Nôgaku
theatre (Japan); royal
ancestral rite and ritual music in Jongmyo shrine
(Korea); the Hudhud
chants of the Ifugao (Philippines); the cultural
space of the Boysun
District (Uzbekistan).
oral and intangible heritage numbers five laureates:
the mystery
play of Elche (Spain); Georgian
polyphonic singing (Georgia); the Sicilian
puppet theatre, opera dei pupi (Italy), cross
crafting and its symbolism in Lithuania (Lithuania
supported by Latvia); the cultural space and oral
culture of the Semeiskie (Russian Federation).
the Arab region, the cultural space of Djamaa
el-Fna Square (Morocco) was distinguished.
proclaiming these 19 masterpieces, UNESCO - whose
World Heritage List of the outstanding cultural and
natural sites is very well-known - has wanted to raise
awareness about the importance of safeguarding
intangible heritage, an essential component of
cultural diversity. During the proclamation,
Director-General Koďchiro Matsuura stressed that the
proclamation was just one first immediate initiative
made ahead of the future undertaking of another one
going in the same direction: the creation of a
standard-setting instrument that will complement the
1972 World Heritage Convention.
Matsuura added: "The list we are drawing up implies
a number of very concrete commitments. On the one
hand, the presentation of a candidature implies that
the State, or group of States, compile an inventory of
their intangible heritage. The greater their awareness
of these treasures, the more attentive they are sure
to be to their protection and to that of the local
actors who sustain them. On the other hand,
candidatures must not only enhance the cultural value
of the property submitted, they must also feature
detailed plans for their safeguarding. […] Finally,
inscription on the list by UNESCO represents its
commitment to do everything in its power to help the
country, or countries, that are home to a proclaimed
masterpiece finance the conservation plan."
Goytisolo who chaired the meeting explained that none
of the other candidatures had been rejected finally.
He expressed the wish that these candidatures be
represented "in a more precise manner, notably
concerning plans of action" for their protection and
encouraged countries absent from the present
proclamation to submit candidatures.
defines as oral and intangible heritage as: "The
totality of tradition-based creations of a cultural
community, expressed by a group of individuals and
recognized as reflecting the expectations of a
community in so far as they reflect its cultural and
social identity; its standards and values are
transmitted orally, by imitation or by other means.
Its forms are, among others, language, literature,
music, dance, games, mythology, rituals, customs,
handicrafts, architecture and other arts. In addition
to these examples, account will also be taken of
traditional forms of communication and information."
next proclamation of masterpieces of the oral and
intangible heritage of humanity will take place in May
2003. The deadline for the submission of candidatures
- limited to one per country but unlimited where
multinational candidatures are concerned - has been
set to June 30, 2002. Before they are presented to the
jury, the entries are submitted to specialized
non-governmental organizations such as the
International Council for Traditional Music (ICTM),
the International Union of Anthropological and
Ethnological Sciences (IUAES) and the Permanent
International Committee of Linguists (PICL).

Ahh ok.
Well I kind of forgot about this. Therefore, if I get the permission to do Jellicent for the 14 season after I am done with Houndoom, I will just include this set.

AbstractIn contrast to the typical single aperture systems found in weapons today, arthropod compound eyes are multi-aperture optical systems. The compound eye has evolved into many forms, each one of which is specifically adapted to the optical environment of the insect or crustacean that it resides upon. The applications of artificial compound eye sensors range from highly complex applications such as terminal seeker optics and missile approach warning systems, to guidance sensors for micro-robots. This effort proposes the use of compound eye sensors as a replacement to dual mode sensors for use in target detection, tracking, and guidance integrated fuzing. BENEFITS: The multi-aperture optical system design has several advantages over the typical single aperture systems found in military weapons and commercial applications. The ability to maintain a large sensor FOV, with minimal distortion, and optimal depth of field, provides a great benefit for both commercial and military applications. This sensor, employed on a missile seeker, provides a WFOV, low frame rate capability required for target search, and a high frame rate lower resolution mode required for warhead fuzing, all in a single sensor. The WFOV sensor allows for elimination of complexity and cost of seeker gimbals typically required to achieve adequate field-of-regard. For commercial applications, the low distortion WFOV sensor is ideal for surveillance covering a large area. Processing techniques are used to identify specific areas of interest, and provide a high resolution image chip for intruder identification. With the proliferation of surveillance cameras today and in the future, this capability provides a leap forward in state-of-the-art threat protection systems.

Personally, I have no idea. I wrote the songs and a bunch of stuff happened after that. My manager, Marla Davis, probably knows, but I sure as heck don't. Big thanks to my fans and friends out there for keeping the music alive and well.
It has been said that Keith Curtis should be a household name after writing and producing boatloads of his music.
It has also been said that Keith is one of those artists, who will be famous posthumously.
Right about now, it looks more like option number two.
The music he has not yet written will likely remain so. Nevertheless, there are boatloads of his music out there for you to learn from, listen to, live by, or simply enjoy.
* * * April 19, 2010 News: In the final stages of recording a collaborative project with Doug Haywood. And, Mike Breen is adding lead guitar as we edge closer to the release of this magnificent coming together of minds and talent.
* * *
Eight songs almost finished, and three or more coming up on the collaborative project two months in the making.
You were asleep when we rolled the "Bones" album onto the virtual table. "Bones" is a combination of Pop, C&W, Folk, Jazz, Bluegrass, and variations of those genres. Only you know, as one of our listeners, what's in the "Bones." Fans will get the liner notes in a separate message. Top fans will get the liner notes, and the lyrics. Best wishes, Keith Curtis
Hello Fans, Friends, Potential Friends, and Potential Enemies: Just kidding about the enemies. I know I have some, but -- hey -- doesn't everybody? So, Fans and Friends, I put "Diamond In The Sun" on the song list; then, I took it back down. It did better than I thought it would. I put it back up. This time, everyone can download "Diamond In The Sun" if you wish. Take it with you wherever you go. Let the song take you with it, wherever you go. I thank each of you for the time you spend with me, here on ReverbNation. This effort is truly a team effort, and I would not be climbing the charts if it wasn't for you. My Leader Fan is OGB, Bill Barrow. He's been with me from the git-go. He has elevated many musicians from obscurity, to the levels of visibility they enjoy today, across the boundaries of the Internet. His countless hours and devotion to music is invaluable. Kudos to him, for being everywhere there's good music. In fact, each of you, as my steadfast group of supporters, have contributed to the evolution of the newest release, "Bones." "Bones" is not out for the public yet. We have a couple of things to do yet. Not too much longer, and it will slam the charts. It's my best effort to date. For those of you who signed up as fans, there are two tracks from "Bones" available for streaming: 1) "Willin'" 2) "Midnight Sky" For you, that is the least I can do for now. In addition, I have signed up for "Fan Reach." Since you and I are growing this together, I figured it was time to look you up and give you something back for the love you have shown over the years. You always have the option to opt out, of course. And if anyone feels spammed, let me know, and I'll do whatever it takes to make it stop. I like to keep my fans safe. With gratitude, Keith
Hello fans and friends:
Somewhere in my nest of cables on the floor, there are new sounds in the making. Once in awhile, I go into my studio and tweak a song and coax its contours into shapes that please me.
Millions of us musicians are at it every day. So, when I hear back from a friend in -- say -- Sweden, or Germany, or Australia, and he says he did not know I was a musician, I know I have somehow gotten my music out of the nest of cables, and into the vast world of listeners.
When that happens, when someone comes across my music and sits in silent disbelief on the telephone as the concept sinks in, it is a gift to me.
My nest of cables is ripening with tracks ready for imminent release. The tracks incorporate scraps of ideas that just did not fit in until now.
Later this year, 2009, they will go live for digital release.
Thank you for your years of friendship and support. And may we each reach someone, somewhere, who finds something in our songs that make a difference to them.
Best wishes, Keith Curtis
My manager sees the numbers go up and down. The stats and charts average out to zero, and according to ECN 101, the profit should be zero.
We define our profit in terms of acceptance of the music by the listeners. Our listeners are from all over the world. The niche for my music is small but mighty.
People who enjoy my music stick with me. They have never heard of me before, which is something my manager has heard all too often. Yet the listeners put my songs on their playlists.
It's an honor, and for now, it's our pay. Payday comes every time someone somewhere places my music on their playlist and comes back to listen again, and again.
The release show for "Fork In The Road" was interesting. There were about 75 attendees, of which 20-30 sat in the available chairs for the whole event. The rest browsed the store and dropped by the stage once in awhile.
We didn't drive anybody away, so I guess that's meaningful.
Thank you all for your dedication as fans and friends.
Best wishes, Keith Curtis
Hello friends and fans:
I changed the banner selections. You might want to drop by and pick up a new banner if you haven't already.
The new banners are more Web friendly. Sizes and such.
I also want you to know about the ground swell going on around the Borders Arrowhead show. Plenty of hearty entertainment packed into this upcoming show on Saturday, May 23rd, 2009.
See the show schedule for more information.
I will keep you updated as this show develops. Hot talent here! Michael J Breen, and John L Agapetus, along with me on stage. Watch out! Those band members are seriously hot!
Best wishes, Keith Curtis
I'm taking this moment to say "THANK YOU!" (great big thank you), to those of you who are making this happen.
And . . . we're happenin'! By god, we're gonna make it -- together.
Wherever you are today, know that I am grateful for your participation and enthusiasm.
As Michael (Mike) J. Breen says, (out of context, but the principle applies), we are . . . "small but mighty!"
Mike Breen is waaayyyy up there in the music talent. I'd really like you to meet him someday. In fact, you've probably already heard him but not seen him. He's all over the 'net, so if you want to know more, look him up and tell him I sent you.
All my best wishes to each of you.
Keith Curtis

I need to take two sets of data and produce one set of pairs(tuples) from both sets. This result set will only have one possible pair, i.e. for two sets: 1,2 and 3, 4 the result should be: ((1, 3), (2, 4)). Full exercise text can be found here:http://pastebin.com/mUaKV4G7
I need to do this using pop. Here's what I have so far:
def mating_pairs(males, females):
pairs = set()
tmp_males, tmp_females = males.copy(), females.copy()
for male in tmp_males:
for female in tmp_females:
zip(pairs[::2], pairs[1::2])
return pairs
This function works fine up to the point when it reaches:
zip(pairs[::2], pairs[1::2])
without it given two sets it'll combine them together but when I try to use zip to split them in pairs I get this error:
'set' object is not subscriptable
Which leads me to believe that it's somewhere returning None instead of correct result.
This function need to work with both integers and strings( I don't think it needs to pairing values in a specific order), also both sets will have equal number of values.
Can someone advise what I'm doing wrong?

We have a ping pong table at work and several of my co-workers use this paddle. I decided to retire the cheap Stiga I had been using and upgraded to this - I love it. Great power, unbelievable spin, but a little challenging to use defensively, in my humble opinion. My only complaint is the smell of the paddle, probably from the glue they use. The handle in particular smells like seafood and so will your hand after a game. The smell does go away eventually, so don't be afraid, this was an excellent upgrade for me.

Man accused of using company credit cardAugust 05,2014Man denies misuse
of company card
BENNINGTON A Brandon man is facing criminal charges after his former employer accused him of using a company credit card to buy items for himself.
Troy M. Hale, 19, of Brandon, pleaded innocent on Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor charge of using false pretenses to obtain items worth less than $900.
Hale was originally scheduled to answer to the charges in March, but at the time, the state referred the case to the court diversion program. If Hale had successfully completed the program, the charge would have been expunged from his record.
Although no reason was given, court records show that Hales failure to complete diversion was reported on July 2.
In an affidavit, Trooper Lauren Ronan, of Vermont State Police, said the owner of Waterworks, a treatment plant and service company in Sunderland, reported Oct. 16 that Hale had misused a company credit card.
Ronan said that after some investigation, she identified the card was used three times between Sept. 10 and Oct. 1, for purchases that seemed to be outside the allowable uses set by the company. The total amount for those three charges was about $90.
Ronan said the card was used at a convenience store and a fast-food restaurant.
Hale was released without bail on Monday but was ordered not to have contact with Waterworks employees.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

Intel's Broadwell Will Likely Slip Past Back-to-School Shopping Season
Jason Mick
May 19, 2014 5:22 PM
comment(s) - last by

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
First 14 nm chip will likely not be ready until the holiday shopping season, after defect issues
Before 2013, Intel had seen several years of aggressive updates to the Core i-Series. Each spring would
bring fresh announcements of "ticks"
(die shrinks)
or "tocks"
(architecture refreshes), which would alternate on a yearly basis. By the summer months, these chips would have
found their way into high-end laptop models
I. The Slippage
But eyed more carefully, signs of slippage to Intel's breakneck pace have been showing.
Sandy Bridge
, the second generation of Core i-Series processor
launched in Jan. 2011 (Q1 2011) and began shipping almost immediately.
Ivy Bridge
-- the third generation Core i-Series chips
-- were released a bit later, right at the start of Q2 2012 in April 2012. As the release -- a die shrink to 22 nanometers -- brought the tricky-to-manufacture 3D FinFET technology to the table, most wrote off this slippage as natural.
last year's
, Intel's 22 nm architecture refresh, slid back a few more months to June 2013. Some did notice this time, with rumors mounting that the die shrink to 14 nm --
might be delayed until 2015
. It turned out the reports were somewhat true -- Intel was suffering much higher defect rates than previously expected -- but Intel insisted that
chips would be
delayed only a quarter, to Q1 2014
But Q1 2014 (Jan. to Mar.) came and went and
still was a no-show in terms of shipments to OEMs. In an April 2014 earnings call, CEO Brian Krzanich insisted that the wait was almost over, saying that the chips would ship sometime in H2 2014. Most hoped this might mean Q3 2014, in time for the August-September back to school shopping season.
Intel CEO Brian Krzanich [Image Source: Intel Russia]
However, while attending the
Maker Faire
in San Mateo, Calif. this past Saturday Mr. Krzanich
delivered some disappointing news
. His comment hints to investors and customers not to get their hopes up of seeing
product shipping in time for that key sales season.
He stated:
I can guarantee for holiday, and not at the last second of holiday. Back to school - that's a tight one. Back to school you have to really have it on-shelf in July, August. That's going to be tough
If the Nov.-Dec. shipping window (perhaps with a September soft launch at the Intel Developer Forum) proves accurate, Intel will have lost nearly a full year in terms of slippage over the past four launch cycles, starting with
Sandy Bridge
Broadwell should be available in time for the holidays.
This slippage originates from the high defect rates that every chip fab company encounters when moving to smaller nodes. Intel typically tapes out test runs of chips and then must make the difficult decision of what will cost more -- the chips scrapped due to defects for the present process, or the cost of waiting and pushing back the refresh. No matter what Intel chooses a fair amount of chips will be lost to design flaws, the trick is minimizing that number.
II. The Danger
Intel is
pocketing around $2.5B USD in profit per quarter
, so it's not exactly hurting for cash. Still, having narrowly
missed on its last two outlooks and struggling to gain ground in the mobile space
, there's fear that the world's largest PC chipmaker may see its PC and server market share gobbled up by fresher competitors.
One of Intel's most dangerous rivals
is the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Comp.
, Ltd. (
) (TSMC). TSMC is expecting to tape out 16 nm FinFET transistor-based chips late this year, possibly in Q4 2014. If all goes well, this 16 nm product could launch as early as the 2015 back-to-school shopping season. If it can pull that off, it may have closed the gap with Intel to about a year, versus
the gap of over two years process-wise that existed back in 2011

Another key rival is Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) (
). Having taped out 14 nm transistors in Dec. 2012 in a test run, Samsung has been
working to mature the technology at its fabs
. Samsung has teamed up with former Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) spinoff, Global Foundries to push the technology into production. According to
a report
The EE Times
, production is expected to begin in late H2 2014, and product may be available late in the holiday season.
Samsung and GlobalFoundries hope to ship 14 nm FinFET product by the end of 2014, as well.
That same article, though, added a grain of salt courtesy of market analysis firm International Business Strategies Inc. (IBS). Handel Jones, the firm's chief, told the publication:
IBS is expecting foundry-fabless companies also will experience delays on FinFETs similar to Intel. Also, Intel has experience of FinFETs at 22 nm, and foundry-fabless companies do not have same expertise.
So don't be surprised if third-party fabs aren't quite caught up yet with Intel when 2015 rolls around.

The delay is NOT due to 14 nm defects, rather poor demand
I must disagree with the basic premise of the article, that defects in the 14 nm process are the basic reason that Broadwell's launch has been repeatedly delayed.
I totally agree that there were defects in the 14 nm shrink that led to unacceptably high reject rates. That is always the case and always gets corrected fairly quickly. Look at any Intel Developer Forum slide of comparative chip defect rates across generations.
The real reason for the Broadwell delay is high inventories of Haswell and Ivy Bridge devices in the channel. In weekly electronics/office advertising fliers, you'll still see third-generation Core (aka Ivy Bridge) laptops for sale. Poor demand over the past three years has caused a necessary slowdown in the tick-tock cadence.
Intel does not want to economically cripple the low-profit PC industry (e.g., Lenovo, HP, Dell, Acer, Samsung) by cramming new products down the channel's throat every twelve months. That's killing the golden goose, permanently. The launch schedule has to slip.
So, rather than point the spotlight at poor demand, Intel mumbles about 14 nm chip defects.
You can track the sense-of-the-market on Intel's quarterly earnings calls by looking for a discussion of inventories. If inventories are "higher than desired", that's code words for "the chips aren't selling as fast as we make them."
My gut says the holiday 2014 Broadwell chips will feature Ultrabook low-voltage versions, and that the bulk of the Broadwell hard launch will spread out over the first two quarters of 2015 -- a year from now. As further evidence that 2015 is Broadwell's year, note the lack of facts, leaks or discussion about Sky Lake, the 14 nm new micro-architecture.
There's some good news in the delay. Since Intel is continuously pushing to improve the silicon fabrication process, the more time that passes, the better quality of the median chip. Haswell Refresh comes from the mature 22 nm process, for example, at almost no new costs to Intel. Thus, Broadwell chips arriving in Q1 2015 are going to be better on average than if Broadwell launched in January 2014.
