As a StAte grad I was thrilled to hear the news and not terribly surprised. Gus moves to his own beat- not what everyone else thinks he should do. StAte is trying to step up a notch and now has better financial footings to do so. Gus gets out of the pressure cooker of the SEC, goes home, gets too refine his offense and HC skills. If gets the itch to step up he will have the opportunity. But he may decide he is having too much fun. He will recruit some better athletes that would have gone to bigger schools with his reputation.
Following the news that Gus Malzahn would leave Auburn for the head coaching job at Arkansas State, it took mere nanoseconds for the internet/talk radio world to start suggesting big troubles on The Plains.
In my car for much of Wednesday, I can tell you that the national talk radio shows had a common theme yesterday and it went a little something like this: "With Malzahn and Ted Roof both leaving for lesser schools, you have to wonder if something bad is going on behind the scenes at Auburn."
Apparently, most of those folks haven't spoken to anyone at Auburn. I have. And the Roof and Malzahn departures should not be lumped together in any way, shape or form. Roof saw the writing on the wall after three consecutive years of unimpressive defensive numbers and jumped at a chance to work with an old colleague, doing the same job at UCF. His move saved his own neck.
Malzahn — it appears — is simply trying to further his career. As we suggested yesterday, he might see that his offense needs a top-flight quarterback to really work in the SEC. (Urban Meyer learned the same thing at Florida.) So maybe he felt it was better to leave now than wait another year and possibly see his stock drop further.
Perhaps he simply wanted to get back to familiar surroundings. We never know what role family issues play into these types of moves.
And speaking of family issues, Malzahn's wife's viral video moment might have played some role in preventing him from landing a bigger gig this year, but to be fair, his wife could have shot a bird at Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler following last year's BCS title game and it would have had zero impact on her husband's job search. Malzahn was hot last January. Now, he's not. His wife's video only became an issue because Malzahn's stock had already dropped.
In the end, perhaps Malzahn simply made what he believes to be the best move to land himself a better head coaching job down the road.
Think about it.
Malzahn was mentioned as a potential candidate at Ole Miss. Instead of getting a serious look from UM, he saw Arkansas State's Hugh Freeze land that job after just two years in Jonesboro… and only one as the school's head coach. Granted, Freeze had been on the Rebel staff under Ed Orgeron and had made some Oxford contacts, but it's not hard to imagine Malzahn reaching the conclusion that it's easier to land a head coaching job when you already have a head coaching job.
If Malzahn had stayed at Auburn, he would be in control of the offense and at the mercy of his team's defense. Gene Chizik would make the big picture decisions.
At Arkansas State, Malzahn will run the show. In effect, he'll control his own destiny. Entirely. In an area he knows.
Push through the smoke stirred up by messageboards and talk show hosts yesterday and Malzahn's decision — especially considering the fact that he erred by turning down Vanderbilt last year — actually seems to make some sense.

Buy drugs in bathroom – I came her with a bunch of people , about 10 of us we paid V.I.P which was $ 50 a person!! but we got our on room with a great cocktail girl. I wne to the bathroom and was bothered buy some Samoan drug lord, offering 8 balls... sooo odd!?
Nice Atmosphere. Good music, Roomy – Went on a Sunday night, in June. It was 18 and over. Predominantly asian crowd and what seemed like a summer high school senior crowd. The place wasn't empty, but had 2 large bars, a big dance floors and lots of seating. The DJ was good mixing up a wide variety of hip hop songs with some rock, too. Drinks weren't too outrageous. There was a $10 cover charge and they did let us back in after leaving for an hour or two. Dress code is non-sandal, no t shirt kind of place, but we got in with tennis shoes, jeans and collored shirts, so not too strict on the dress code. Might want to check it out on a different night though.

Seattle >Food & Dining > Roxbury Restaurant
2823 SW Roxbury St, Seattle, WA | Directions 9812647.517401 -122.368428
Neighborhoods: Highline
restrooms – Hey, I bowl there every week and my kids have never had any problemsin the restooms, or anywhere else in the building. Must have ben an isolated incident. The price is right and the food is good, staff very friendly and helpful.
Very concerned – I go to this bowling alley alot with my kids. well last saturday, my eight year old was in the bathroom, and some drink fromt he bar asked my son who was 8 years old did he want some quaters. while they were going to the bathroom. It seems a little fishy to me. And when I confronted the guy in the bar he was shocked to see that my son had came and told me . I just wanted the parents out there to beware of what is going on in public restrooms.
The staff is very friendly just watch out the for slezzy trailer park trash in the bar.
Great Service – New owners in 2004, WOW what a difference! Never under staffed now. Great American & Asian food, Still cold beer and great prices.
Sat nite Glow Bowling is 3 hours long. The new card room is also a very cool place!
Try it you will never go back to that new one!
National bowling alley chain offers a variety of specialized leagues and group events. – In Short
There are more than 500 AMF locations across the county. Bowlers of all ages, along with co-workers, family and friends, may sign up for an AMF league or join one of the many uniquely themed bowling clubs. Those who work up an appetite can indulge cravings at the grill, serving traditional American favorites like burgers, chicken tenders, hot dogs, pizza and more.
A kicky, little alley that's all about turning down the lights and turning on the smoke machine. – The Experience
Roxbury will feel different depending on what time and day you show up. Weeknights, from 6pm to 9:30pm, the alley is filled with league players of all varieties. In addition to men's, women's and mixed leagues, there's a Pokemon league, a bicycle league (where participants--usually child and parent--receive a bicycle in the last week) and even a Pride night.
The Facts
Go early, if you want a family-oriented bowling experience. Later, if you want to kick it with 20-something hipsters.
dont' you get it? – This is a neighborhood bowling alley. They like being the way they are. It is relatively cheap (especially the Xtreme Bowling), and you can always get a lane. They have pulltabs and bowling pin shaped Bud bottles, just like Sunset. Only difference, more blue collars, strong drinks, and less attitude from other bowlers. Yes, it is ok to bowl poorly.
We took my family from out of town - we had a riot!

Columbia >Food & Dining > Motor Supply Co Bistro
920 Gervais St, Columbia, SC | Directions 2920133.999845 -81.037461
Mon. CLOSED;Tue. - Sun. 11:30am - 2:30pm
Neighborhoods: Midtown - Downtown
Great restaurant. The menu changes for every meal and you can't go wrong just asking the server or chef to make a selection for you -- brunch is great on the porch in the Spring or Fall.
Great Hotel BUT... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
great wine, amazing food, wonderful service, phenomenal atmosphere-----5 stars all the way! The food is stellar, make a reservation, you will not regret it!
Not Sophisticated, Just Casually Excellent – There are probably only four or five restaurants in Columbia that can rank with Motor Supply. The ever-changing menu is an insurance policy against culinary laziness. There is always something new waiting for you at this, the best restaurant in the Vista. Here you can count on an exciting dish that has been prepared with thought and care. The cuisine is progressive American (I have no idea why it is listed as French here--perhaps the editors can correct this) but the chef seems to trust his ingredients enough to create simple, delicious harmonies rather than overwrought cacophonies. Out of over ten visits, I only had one bad dish (duck which was ordered medium yet cooked beyond well-done and dry as a bone). Every other time I have had excellent meals consisting of wonderfully fresh ingredients. Ample portions & entrees in the mid-$20 range make for a great value as well. The wine list is full of nice selections by the glass, with an eye toward value rather than pretension; that said, there are also plenty of bottles for over $150 on the complete list for the enologically inclined. Go and eat there, soon.
Mediocre, seating issues – I found the food mediocre. At the time of my visits, seating was restricted so that a party of two could only sit at a table for two EVEN IF there were several available 4-person tables. Not inviting at all! At my last visit, I inadvertently left a jacket, called to get the jacket held for my pickup (and was told it was there), but when I got there, no one could find my jacket!
All Hype ! – Can someone please tell me what is good about Motor Supply? The food is fair some days and terrible some days. The wait staff does not know the product they are presenting. The noise levels are completely unacceptable. You cant even hear people at your own table.
Columbia is not a sophisticated town. I think the perception that Motor Supply is a good and/or sophisticated restaurant is all that is needed to make it a reality in the minds of many Columbia diners.
Different menu every time! – The food is FANTASTIC! The chef works magic in the kitchen. The most wonderful thing is, the menu is very original and different every time you go there. The service was good, but the wait can be very long. One time, we waited two hours to get a table, but they gave us two free appetizers for our patience. Otherwise, the servers are very friendly and know their stuff when it comes to food and beverage.
Excellent but fairly expensive – Food was great. Neat thing about Motor Supply Co. is the menu. It changes every day. We sat outside for lunch, which was nice. The service was excellent and the food was good. The presentation was also good.
Overall, it was a great dining experience. Good food, good service and good ambience makes for a good time. (Throw in good company and you are set!)
Awesome location, ambience, and food! – This is the best place we have found in Columbia. The food is wonderful, the service prompt, and the setting romantic. They change their menu every night, and the food was creative and fresh. They also have a Sunday brunch, which is rare for Columbia! check it out...
YUM!! – WE have been to MS over 300 times and have always been impressed with the quality of food, atmosphere and service. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. We love the Sunday Brunch

"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
What does this have to do with participant skating?
"You just can't underestimate the power of positive underwear." 2013 Fruit of the Loom ad
She and Speroff are the 2004 U.S. intermediate pair champions.
I think that is the biggest that the picture can be. If it's enlarged any more, it goes out of focus.
Who wants to watch rich people eat pizza? They must have loved that in Bangladesh. - Randy Newman on the 2014 Oscars broadcast
From Skating magazine article (January 2004):
Intermediate pairs
A handful of familiar names showed up in the pairs event – that's because fans had seen these skaters perform in the ladies and men's event already.
The clear class of the field is Rachael Flatt and Andrew Speroff (Broadmoor SC). Coached by Tom Zakrajsek and Eric Schultz, this team's side-by-side double Axels were outstanding and beyond their age and level.
"The double Axels haven't been as consistent as we'd like them to be, but we finally got them down to a fine art," Flatt said.
Skating to the Spy Kids soundtrack, a fall on the throw double loop by Flatt and Speroff, who had also competed in the men's event, was offset by two strong lifts, the death spiral and twist lift.
"I'm excited and proud of ourselves; we did a nice job in our program," Flatt said before rushing off to inform Speroff of their first-place finish.
And then a Correction in the following April issue:
"The article on the 2004 U.S. Junior
Figure Skating Championships in the
February 2004 issue of SKATING
incorrectly stated that intermediate
pairs champions Rachael Flatt and
Andrew Speroff fell on a throw double
loop. The pair skated a clean program.
SKATING regrets the error. "
Man, I'd love to see a vid of that! (or any of her as a pair skater)

Every bit as negative as Vampires and Zombies. You're right, the public would never spend their entertainment dollars on anything associated with something so unsavory.While voodoo wouldn't be as unpopular as Muslims, it still has a negative connotation that would turn some people off.

If attendance was about 7k, you figure maybe 2.5-3k from each team and 1k or so local? High school teams travel better than that.
When Pelicans becomes the official mascot, hopefully placing the Louisiana State flag at midcourt will get some consideration.
I don't like the Voodoo name but WDC is making me like it more after each of his post.
I really like the Pelicans! Have you guys seen the designs? It pretty swagish lol.
Teams:New Orleans Hornets(Pelicans) & Houston Texans
Pelicans will be a embarrassing disgrace to rebrand. No people will find it "hip" cool or cute but only a few New Orleans people. Let's be real people.
Yet matter of fact, pelican lovers should ask people of this website, on the streets, campus, social networks, and outer state and see how many New Orleanians and others think how "awesome" it is.
By the way I vote, Krewe,Brass, Knights, and Voodoo.

Pancreatic cancer symptoms
This page has information on the symptoms of pancreatic cancer. You can find the following information
Pancreatic cancer symptoms
The most common type of cancer of the pancreas are exocrine tumours. The symptoms can be quite vague. And they vary depending on where the cancer is in your pancreas – in the head, body or tail. Early symptoms can include weight loss, pain in the stomach area, back pain and jaundice.
About half of patients have jaundice when they first go to their doctor. Jaundice without pain is the most common reason for first going to the doctor in patients who have pancreatic cancer that can be removed with surgery. Symptoms of jaundice can include yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes, severe itching, darkened urine, and pale coloured stools (bowel motions).
Other symptoms
There are other symptoms that you can have with cancer of the pancreas. These include diabetes, itching, sickness, change in bowel motions, fever and shivering. There is an uncommon group of pancreatic tumours called neuroendocrine tumours. About a third of these produce hormones. The symptoms are different for each type, depending on the hormone the tumour makes.
You can view and print the quick guides for all the pages in the about pancreatic cancer section.
The commonest types of cancer of the pancreas are exocrine tumours. The symptoms can be quite vague. And they vary depending on where the cancer is in your pancreas - in the head, body or tail. Early symptoms can include
Weight loss
People diagnosed with pancreatic cancer may have recently lost a lot of weight (at least 10% of their total body weight) for no apparent reason. This symptom is more common in cancers of the head of the pancreas.
Pain in the stomach area
About 7 out of 10 people with pancreatic cancer first go to their doctors because they have pain. Pain is more common in cancers of the body and tail of the pancreas. People describe it as a dull pain that feels as if it is boring into you. It can begin in the stomach area and spread around to the back. The pain is worse when you lie down and is better if you sit forward. It can be worse after meals. Your abdomen may also be generally tender or painful if your liver, pancreas or gallbladder are inflamed or enlarged.
About half of patients have jaundice when they first go to their doctors. Jaundice is yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes. The urine is darker than normal and bowel motions may be lighter in colour. Jaundice is more common with cancer of the head of the pancreas because the tumour blocks the bile duct. This tube carries bile into the duodenum. If it is blocked the bile ends up in your bloodstream instead. Bile contains a lot of yellow pigments so it turns the skin yellow. Jaundice is a common symptom of many liver and gallbladder diseases. It is often easier to spot in the whites of the eyes rather than the skin.
More early symptoms
Other early symptoms might include loss of appetite and back pain.
There are other symptoms that you can have with cancer of the pancreas. You may have any of these symptoms from before you are diagnosed. Or you may develop them later. Of course, you may not have all of them. Not everyone has every symptom. But these non specific symptoms are common in pancreatic cancer. You may have
Some people diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas are found to be newly diabetic. Some have been diagnosed with diabetes within the previous year. If you have diabetes you are not producing enough insulin. So there is too much sugar in your blood. The sugar is passed out of the body in the urine and takes a great deal of water with it. This causes
- Thirst
- Passing a lot of urine
- Weakness
- Weight loss and hunger
You may have itching if you have bad jaundice. The bile salts in the bloodstream cause itching in the skin.
You may feel or be sick because you have jaundice or an inflamed pancreas. Both these conditions upset the delicate chemical balance of the body, which can make you sick. You may also be sick if the cancer, or inflammation around it, is beginning to block the duodenum. This will stop digested food from passing through to the small bowel.
Bowel changes
Again, if you have jaundice you may develop a symptom called steatorrhoea. This means fatty stools. You may pass frequent, large bowel motions that are pale coloured and smelly. These bowel disturbances can mean that you are not absorbing your food properly. So this may be a cause of weight loss.
Fever and shivering
You may have a temperature from time to time because you have jaundice or an inflamed pancreas. When your temperature is high you may feel cold and shivery.
Endocrine pancreatic tumours are uncommon. They are also called neuroendocrine tumours. About a third of these pancreatic tumours produce hormones (functional tumours). The symptoms are different for each type, depending on the hormone the tumour produces. They are
Insulinomas produce too much insulin, causing weakness, loss of energy, dizziness and drowsiness.
Gastrinomas produce too much gastrin, causing peptic ulcers in the stomach or duodenum. This leads to severe pain, bleeding causing black tarry stools (faeces), and diarrhoea.
Somatostatinomas produce too much of a hormone called somatostatin. This causes gallstones, diabetes and diarrhoea with bulky fatty and smelly stools (steatorrhoea).
VIPomas produce too much of a hormone called VIP. This causes a great deal of watery diarrhoea, flushing of the face, and high blood pressure.
Glucagonomas produce too much of a hormone called glucagon. This causes a very specific type of skin rash (redness, ulceration and scabbing), anaemia, mouth ulcers and diarrhoea.
About two thirds of pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours do not produce hormones and so do not cause specific symptoms. As these tumours get larger or spread they may cause symptoms such as pain, a lump in the abdomen or jaundice.
The earlier a cancer is picked up, the easier it is to treat it and the more likely the treatment is to be successful. So it is important that you go to your GP as soon as possible if you notice worrying symptoms.
Our research is beating cancer
While you're reading this we're making real progress in our fight to beat all cancers, including pancreatic cancer.

It is interesting that the author of this article did not consider a scenario whereby BP stake in TNK-BP may undergo a change of ownership in a way not dissimilar to the restructuring of Yukos assets.
This may also involve a series of alternating announcements one about good prospects for BP business in Russia and the other about not that good prospects for BP business in Russia. This is likely to cause a spasmatic behaviour of BP shares which, in turn, will create a great opportunity to make money (by trading in these shares) especially by those who would be good in anticipating these announcements (to know when to buy and when to sell).
"Hubris on the part of Mr. Dudley?' Seems to be totally normal. The man is a cowboy.
Why on earth BP appointed the same clown who so manifestly screwed up in Russia years ago (and had it's but saved by Tony Hayward who was responsible for renegotiating a workable deal) beats me.
It would have been better if Bob Dudley "do-wrong" remained under the rock where he was cowering.
One could not have made a more idiotic appointment – unless having a "kick-ass American" at the helm to pacify the US made political sense.
Oh dear.
Bring back Tony Hayward.
Lie down with pigs, rise up smelling of garbage.
There is no such place as Russia. There's a Moscow Mafia and countless thin peasants.
The Moscow Mafia is sore at having lost WW3, and looking around (natural gas reserves are best) to come top at something.
What has that got to do with the price of fish?
BP should be Banned from Petroleum...
Yes, BP alone got shafted, while its 'American' co-conspirators/accomplices: Halliburton & Transocean, escaped scott free. Hmmm.. Why do I smell a 'Chenay' rat??
BP's cup of misery runneth over. Ever since it got royally shafted in the GOM spill, the cards have been stacked against BP, both in the US & Russia. Now the smart move would be to extricate itself completely from Russia & focus their attention, off the African shoreline. Hopefully the geo-politics there should be less predatory than what BP has had to face in the US & Russia.
I think it was Henry Kissinger who said something like "Russians like Germans, don't mind the French, dislike the British and are afraid of the Chinese."
A spell of bad luck for HMBP. The arc will eventually settle and pay dividends to all. God bless the queen! What!
It may. The price of "fish" is going down on the world's markets.
"since it got royally shafted in the GOM spill"
Yes, the nerve of those colonials ~ fines! reparations!
Is this Karma for the Louisiana oil spill?
BP stake possibly up for sale at £25 billion. Bank of England about to conjure up £50 billion under its emergency QE formula. It is only money.

Susanna Kaysen (born 11 November 1948) is an American author.
- I've gone back to the Frick since then to look at her and at the two other Vermeers. Vermeers, after all, are hard to come by, and the one in Boston has been stolen. The other two are self-contained paintings. The people in them are looking at each other -- the lady and her maid, the soldier and his sweetheart. Seeing them is peeking at them through a hole in a wall. And the wall is made of light -- that entirely credible yet unreal Vermeer light. Light like this does not exist, but we wish it did. We wish the sun could make us young and beauitful, we wish our clothes could glisten and ripple against our skins, most of all, we wish that everyone we knew could be brightened simply by our looking at them, as are the maid with the letter and the soldier with the hat. The girl at her music sits in another sort of light, the fitful, overcast light of life, by which we see ourselves and others only imperfectly, and seldom.
- Girl, Interrupted (1994)
- Lunatics are similar to designated hitters. Often an entire family is crazy, but since an entire family can't go into the hospital, one person is designated as crazy and goes inside.
- Girl, Interrupted (1994)
- Is this the type of friend or lover I want to have? I ask myself every time I meet someone new. Charming but shallow; good-hearted but a bit conventional; too handsome for his own good; fascinating but probably unreliable; and so forth. I guess I've had my share of unreliables. More than my share? How many would constitute more than my share?
- Girl, Interrupted (1994)
- In a strange way we were free. We'd reached the end of the line. We had nothing more to lose. Our privacy, our liberty, our dignity: all of this was gone and we were stripped down to the bare bones of our selves.
- Girl, Interrupted (1994)
- People ask, How did you get in there? What they really want to know is if they are likely to end up in there as well. I can't answer the real question. All I can tell them is, It's easy. Most people pass over incrementally, making a series of perforations in the membrane between here and there until an opening exists. And who can resist an opening?
- Girl, Interrupted (1994)
- I got better and Daisy didn't and I can't explain why. Maybe I was just flirting with madness the way I flirted with my teachers and classmates. I wasn't convinced I was crazy, though I feared I was. Some people say that having any conscious opinion on the matter is a mark of sanity, but I'm not sure that's true. I still think about it. I'll always have to think about it.
- Girl, Interrupted (1994)
On Girl, InterruptedEdit
- When women are angry at men, they call them heartless. When men are angry at women, they call them crazy.
- Susan Cheever, "A Designated Crazy," The New York Times Book Review, June 20, 1993. (Reviewing Kaysen's Girl, Interrupted.)

Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve
The 200ha Greater Zandvlei Estuary Nature Reserve is a wetland, river system and estuary near Muizenberg on the False Bay coast. The reserve, which was formally proclaimed in 2006, represents the last functional estuary on the False Bay coastline. As such, it functions as a fish hatchery, nursery and habitat for many animals, especially birds. Many endangered species also find refuge at Zandvlei.
Visitors are encouraged to take the 1.5km circular walk, along which picnic tables and two bird hides have been erected. Information posters aid in identification and will help to broaden your knowledge of endemic birds and animals found here. Zandvlei offers a fun outing for children and nature lovers. There is also an environmental education centre in the reserve.

Please note that a single supplement will apply for a single room/cabin. If you are traveling alone and wish to share a room/cabin, we will do our best to find someone of the same gender and smoking preference to share with you. If you are matched with a non-smoking roommate, it is mutually agreed that you cannot smoke in your room/cabin. When a roommate cannot be found, the single supplement will be charged.

Participants are encouraged to purchase airline tickets no sooner than 60 days before the tour begins to avoid airline cancellation penalties if a tour is canceled or otherwise modified subsequent to the participant�s purchase of those tickets. The Smithsonian Institution and the tour operator accept no liability for the purchase of non-refundable airline tickets to the tour departure city and return. Baggage and personal effects are at all times the sole responsibility of the participant.

Thailand - Hua Hin & Southern Gulf (Chapter)
This is the Hua Hin & the Southern Gulf chapter from Lonely Planet's Thailand guidebook.
The upper southern Gulf has long been the favoured retreat of the Bangkok monarchy and elite. Today domestic tourists flock to this coast in the same pursuit of leisure as well as to pay homage to the revered kings whose palaces-away-from-palace are now open to the public. Rarely does culture and coast meet with such proximity and collaboration. This is also a surf-and-turf destination offering historic sites, pleasant provincial life, jungle-filled parks and long sandy beaches all within an easy commute from Bangkok.
- Exploring the hilltop palace and underground caves of Phetchaburi
- maps
- Strolling the long blonde coastline of Hua Hin dotted with wave-jumping kiteboarders.
- transport
- restaurants & accommodation
- Escaping into the wild depths of Kaeng Krachan National Park and spotting gibbons and wild elephants.
Coverage includes: Phetchaburi (Phetburi), Cha-Am, Hua Hin, Hua Hin To Pranburi, Pranburi & Around, Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Ban Krut & Bang Saphan Yai, and Chumphon.

Photographer's Note
From a CNN Report (October 2013)
With its skies regularly shrouded by a filthy film of gray smog, bringing chaos to the transportation network and forcing millions to seek refuge behind surgical masks, Beijing has been forced to take more extreme action.
Officials in China's capital announced a raft of emergency measures in a bid to tackle the problem, including mandatory factory closures and bans on cars entering the city on days when pollution levels are particularly high.
While Beijing is not alone when it comes to smoke-filled skies, this city of more than 20 million people has come to symbolize the environmental cost of China's break-neck economic growth.
My Photo
Taken at midday
As I read Ike´s comment about pollution in Beijing yesterday, I decided to post some photos to show how it was two years ago, a cloudy white sky and the fog almost hiding the not so far buildings, in this case the Bird's Nest (Traditional Chinese 鳥巢), the Olympic stadium built for the 2008 Olympic Games, photo taken from a bridge crossing one of the new avenues
Sorry, not a blue sky with beautiful cluds..

Hello Maria,
you have illustrated very well the terrible smog that has become the curse of modern China,the colours of the flower beds are a perfect contrast to the murky BG.
I also enjoy the nice depth created by the road that leads nicely into the scene.
Kind regards Les.

The race to modernize the country had taken its toll on the environment in Chine. Well shown on this cityscape photo, Maria.
A modern garden architecture with concrete big flowerpots, added the much needed gree-lung over there and the colors gave extra vivid tone to the photo. Nicely documented hazy day in the metropolis.
Buen fin de semana,
subhendu_bagchi (24449) 2013-11-09 3:14
an interesting reportage photography. Nicely shown the pollution effect. In fact our planet is colourful but we are constantly destroying it. A nice panorama describing the story. Tfs.
fabbs99 (14521) 2013-11-09 22:45
Hello Maria,
Magnificent vivid colors,contrast and superb overall quality of the image. Excellent image quality. Very well done. TFS.
ChrisJ (93442) 2013-11-10 9:14
Hello Maria,
Such a contrast between the infamous dirty white smoggy skies, and the clean streets and attractive garden park, and taken from a superb high pov on the pedestrian overpass. Good sharpness and the repetition of the flower beds adds interest. The bicycles everywhere are synonymous with China. I lived in China for a year and they also had many motor cycles. The Olympic stadiums were still under construction when I visited in 2007. Tfs!
abmdsudi (36472) 2013-11-11 9:30
Hi Maria
Pollution=Profit. With all those beautiful nature scenes on TE we would almost forget that a part of our world is filled with air pollution contributing to global warming but unfortunately it's a fact of life that we need to find a solution for.
In this shot the level of pollution is clearly seen and very worrying too illustrating the dreadful air quality and the awful atmosphere of the city. I particularly like your thinking behind the image is thought provoking and I love your decent composition too that says a lot but unsure if the returning birds are able to find their nests! This is an excellent piece of reportage and hand warming photography, i think may even look better in B&W., Congrats
Best regards

Hola Maria
J'aime ces parterres colorées, avec les arbres, la structure moderne avec le fond comme un voile de brume, intéressante note
ourania (22900) 2013-11-17 13:10
Hola Maria,
the "filthy film of gray smog" is depicted effectively in your photo shrouding the distant buildings and the architectural wonder of the stadium, hard to see and enjoy in these conditions. The light and the atmosphere are very dull, its hard to enjoy a walk or life going on around you. Did you wear a mask too? The colourful flower beds are atrractive but I think there's also an irony in their presence in this setting. The perspectives work wonderfully in your panoramic frame, we get a very interesting description of this part of the vast city. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely Sunday,

Has anybody ever heard of or played beach tennis? I found out about it last week when I was looking at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix website. How does the tennis ball bounce on the sand? And wouldn't it be diffiult to move fast? You can see here:
We LOVE checking out Beach Tennis whenever we get a chance. Ot has become very beig in Russia! lol
The BALL is only partially inflated but an object is to take it in the air. Ideally, much vollying. It IS difficult to move fast.
So what happens when the ball does touch the ground?
I could be wrong, don't know the rules that well, but I THINK it may be dead & the side that sent it over scores. BT was conceived as a fusion of tennis with beach volleyball.
BT matches ARE ITF competitions, and there is an ITF page:

Arkeia Network Backup is designed for organizations that require fast, easy-to-use, and affordable data protection. It backs up critical data to disk, tape, and cloud storage. Arkeia protects all major virtual platforms including VMware, Hyper-V, XenServer, and more than 200 physical platforms including Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Netware, most UNIX flavors, and BSDs. The company's source-side Progressive Deduplication technology helps users realize better performance at a lower cost by reducing data volumes. Arkeia's deduplication is crucial to accelerating replication of on-premise backups to private or public clouds.
Lessfs is a high performance inline data deduplicating file system for Linux. Lessfs complies to the POSIX standard and is very useful for backup purposes as well as providing storage for virtual machine images. Although lessfs is a file system that is implemented in user space with FUSE, it offers decent performance. Lessfs is capable of handling data rates up to 350MB/sec. It supports filesystem encryption.
Duke is a fast and flexible record linkage engine. It does not use the traditional blocking (sort by key) approach, but instead relies on Lucene. This makes it high-performance (able to process 1,000,000 records in ~10 minutes). Duke can be run from the command line, but also has an API allowing incremental linking applications to be built easily. It supports reading data from CSV, JDBC, SPARQL, and NTriples, and also supports a number of string comparators and string normalizers.
BlackHole is an data de-duplicating network block device that also supports mirroring, snapshots, and support for multiple LUNs using the same data store. It is filesystem agnostic and has been tested with ext2/3/4, NTFS, ReiserFS, and the Oracle Cluster File System (OCFS2). It supports encryption, compression, and multiple storage backends. The hashing scheme used is user configurable. The program exports an NBD device which can be mounted in Linux and GNU/Hurd.
Pcompress is an archiver that can do compression/decompression and deduplication in parallel by splitting input data into chunks. It has a modular structure and includes support for multiple algorithms like LZMA, Bzip2, PPMD, LZ4, etc., with KECCAK/BLAKE2/SHA-256/512 chunk checksums. SSE optimizations for the bundled LZMA are included. It also implements chunk-level Content-Aware Deduplication and Delta Compression features based on a Polynomial Fingerprinting scheme. It has low metadata overhead and overlaps I/O and compression to achieve maximum parallelism. It has AES encryption capability and uses Scrypt from Tarsnap to generate per-session unique keys from passwords. It can work in pipe mode, reading from stdin and writing to stdout. It also provides some adaptive compression modes in which a suitable algorithm is chosen per chunk based on heuristics.
Attic is a deduplicating backup program. The main goal of attic is to provide an efficient and secure way to back up data. The data deduplication technique used makes Attic suitable for daily backups since only actual changes are stored. Main features: space efficient storage, optional data encryption, and off-site backups.
Skylable SX is a reliable, powerful, fully distributed cluster solution for your data storage needs. It can aggregate the disk space available on multiple servers and merge it into a single storage system. The cluster makes sure that your data is always replicated over multiple nodes (the exact number of copies is defined by the sysadmin) and synchronized. It has built-in support for deduplication, client-side encryption, on-the-fly compression, and much more.
