PC World U.S. senior editor Eric Dahl investigates Intel's planned Quad-core systems, the impending competition between Leopard and Vista, Samsung's low-cost storage solution and other current and future gadget essentials.
Quad-core systems
The buzz: What do you do when two CPU cores just aren't enough? You start packing four of them into a system, of course. That's what Intel and AMD are set to do in different ways toward the end of the year. After a successful Core 2 Duo launch, Intel has decided to move up the launch of its Kentsfield chip, which essentially loads a pair of Core 2 Duo dies onto a single package. That chip is now set to ship by the end of the year, which miraculously coincides with the launch window for AMD's 4x4--a high-end, dual-socket platform that delivers four cores in the form of a pair of dual-core Athlon 64 X2 or FX processors.
Bottom line: Quad-core performance gains are likely to be small for most applications, though power-hungry creative types and gamers could see some benefit. But I still don't see how AMD gets "4x4" out of two dual-core chips. Maybe we can convince Intel to team up with Home Depot to produce some 2x4s.
Leopard hunts Vista
The buzz: Microsoft just might be in for the fight of its life next year, when Vista finally ships--and runs right into Apple's latest update to OS X. Apple plans to launch Leopard next spring, and the Intel-based Mac Pro desktop systems that will make it sing are shipping now. Apple previewed Leopard (and tried out some new Microsoft zingers) at its World-Wide Developer Conference in August. Highlights include a fully supported version of Boot Camp that lets you dual-boot Intel Macs into Windows, and some enhancements to iChat that let you share applications and photos. But the most welcome development should be Time Machine, an automatic backup feature that allows you to retrieve old versions of files and restore deleted data via a time-line interface.
Bottom line: I wouldn't have even dreamed this two years ago, but with Boot Camp on board and OS X looking as good as it does, my next PC may very well be an Apple.
Samsung's 4GB SSD
The buzz: Imagine if all your critical apps and OS data could live in a fast, permanent cache. With a 4GB solid-state drive like the one Samsung is getting ready for Vista-based desktop and laptop PCs, that dream could become a reality. Using Vista's ReadyBoost feature, the new SSDs could greatly speed up access to critical applications and data while using less power than normal hard drives.
Bottom line: Big-time SSDs--the kind that could replace a hard drive--will remain expensive for a good long while. Fortunately, at current flash memory prices, the 4-gig models cost US$150 or less.
300GB-disc update
Holographic storage: It's a neat idea that lets you pack tons of data onto optical media by storing it in three dimensions. When we last checked in on the technology, Maxell and InPhase hoped to have 300GB discs the size of CDs ready sometime this year. Amazingly, they're still on track. The first models will be well out of the range of consumers, with drives costing upward of US$15,000 and media going for around US$120 each. Wallet-friendlier versions are in the works, though. InPhase expects to develop less-expensive media that can store between 75GB and 100GB in an area the size of a postage stamp.
TripHub: Beta Web site helps groups plan vacations.
X1900 GT: The US$279, 256MB version of ATI's high-end card defines the new sweet spot.
Topix: Revamped news engine looks better than ever.
Custom Search: Like Rollyo, this Yahoo tool lets you select which sites to search.
Wireless DJ: Logitech's US$249 PC-to-stereo music streamer comes with a nifty LCD-equipped remote.

Charles Coburn starred in this 1941 romantic comedy, filmed during his emergence as the latest of Hollywood's character stars. Through the rest of his career, he would move between colorful supporting roles in which he often stole films from the higher-billed talent and leading roles in which he traded not in romance but in an irascible geniality that audiences found irresistibly charming.
Coburn had made a few films early on, but was largely a stage star, having mounted successful repertory seasons on Broadway with his wife, actress Ivah Wills. When she died in 1937, he turned to Hollywood full time, and within a few years was one of the screen's most popular character players. With the success of two other 1941 films -- the Preston Sturges classic The Lady Eve and the romantic comedy The Devil and Miss Jones, for which he received his first Oscar® nomination -- he rose to the ranks of stardom.
Unexpected Uncle was a project tailor-made to exploit his special charms as an actor. The film was adapted from a novel by Eric Hatch, author of the novel My Man Godfrey, which had become a major film hit in 1936. Tired of the demands of big business, steel tycoon Coburn runs away to Florida (although that scenic locale only appears in background shots) to pitch horseshoes and meddle in the love lives of salesgirl Anne Shirley and millionaire James Craig.
Coburn didn't win star billing, even though he had the film's major role. That honor, along with any blame for the picture's $195,000 box-office loss, fell to Shirley and Craig. She had been scoring in meatier dramatic roles as Carole Lombard's kid sister in the nursing drama Vigil in the Night (1940) and John Garfield's young wife in Saturday's Children (1940), but as a contract player at RKO, she had to earn her keep by appearing in whatever the studio had available. Craig had scored as Ginger Rogers's doctor suitor in Kitty Foyle (1940). Later that year, he and Shirley would re-team to far better effect for All that Money Can Buy (1941), a sumptuous adaptation of the classic story "The Devil and Daniel Webster."
The failure of Unexpected Uncle was less the fault of its gifted cast, however, than of some critical miscasting behind the camera. Director Peter Godfrey had only just moved into the field from acting and had not had the chance to develop much of a personality on programmers like The Lone Wolf Spy Hunt (1939). He would soon sign with Warner Bros., where he would direct some of the studio's most disappointing films. The picture might have been better served had producer Tay Garnett -- one of Hollywood's greatest unsung directors -- taken the job. Garnett had pioneered in the development of talking films with his witty, fast-paced direction of Her Man in 1930. He had gone on to such classics as One Way Passage (1932), starring Kay Francis and William Powell, and China Seas (1935), with Clark Gable, Jean Harlow, Wallace Beery and Rosalind Russell. A few years later, he would direct one of the all-time great film noirs, The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946). For that matter, the film could have benefited by moving co-scripter Delmer Daves into the directing chair, a move he would make with great success for the 1943 film Destination Tokyo. Even Daves's co-scripter, Noel Langley, who had worked on the original The Wizard of Oz (1939), would demonstrate directorial finesse when he traveled to England to make his directing debut with The Pickwick Papers (1952).
Despite its failure, however, Unexpected Uncle remains as a testament to the charms of its three stars. Coburn, in particular, would go on to make roles like the eccentric tycoon here his trademark, eventually winning an Oscar® for a similar role in the George Stevens comedy The More the Merrier (1943).

The Leadville, Colorado & Southern Railroad has its' roots in a collection of bankrupt railroads assembled as the Colorado & Southern in 1898. The line between Leadville and the mine at Climax is a remanent of the narrow guage Denver, South Park & Pacific. The tracks, in fact, remained narrow guaged until pressure of World War II traffic demanded that it be updated to standard guage. When the Climax mine shifted to trucks the railroad was no longer needed. A portion of the line was rescued to serve as today's tourist route.
« previous | next »
Mountain, Town, and Railroad
All three have existed here for more than 100 years. As Colorado's highest peak, Mount Elbert provides the backdrop for Leadville which was the richest mining camp in Colorado. As such Leadville was a destination for the state's three most agressive railroads, i.e., the Rio Grande, the Colorado Midland, and the South Park.

mnmlist: I couldn't help myself
We've all said this strange phrase at some point. There seem to be two people in this sentence: I and myself. One is good. It's the one that would act sensibly all the time if the other one wasn't there to mess it up. It's the one who would eat well, exercise regularly, get up early without complaint and get some flimmin work done.
This is g-me. But g-me isn't alone. Just like a Numskull comic strip, someone else lives in my head. b-me is lazy, loves fatty and salty foods, hates exercise and is so very, very clever and persuasive. b-me will always agree in a meeting that g-me is right and that things need to change. b-me agrees that we'll have more energy, be better to be around and even live longer if we make these changes. Then when it comes to it, b-me makes an excuse and pulls g-me back and makes it hard for him.
b-me isn't to be trusted most of the time but he does know how to have a good time. For example, Eggs Benedict would be b-me's idea. g-me loves Eggs Benedict but if was up to g-me, we'd never have it.
So should be
done with these squabbling children? Lurching unthinkingly between good me and bad me is no way to live a life. What I try to do is be aware, to have a space between thought and action. For me, this is the
is definition of awareness. It is better than thought. Thought is blithering idiot compared to awareness. That's why I prefer awareness to make my decisions.

Most people who have paid any attention to the news recently have realized that healthcare continues to take up a substantial amount of the spotlight and for good reason. While the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, generated a significant amount of controversy, the recently proposed plan by the Republican party has generated even more debate. Lost in this debate is the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act, also known as MACRA. For people who haven't heard of this act, it could have a significant impact on their ability to see a doctor. It is essential for physicians and patients alike to understand this act going forward.
An Overview of MACRA/strong>
The Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA>) became law in April of 2015. It was passed with support from both of the country's major parties and changes the way the government compensates physicians for their work. In addition to changing payment plans, the law also established funding for new technology to be developed and tested and changed the way advisory groups examined the function of the United States healthcare system. Overall, it represented a paradigm shift in Medicare funding and its associated subsidiaries. Without a doubt, MACRA has changed the healthcare landscape for patients and physicians.
Why it Matters: The Benefits
MACRA has numerous benefits for patients and physicians and while it is a complicated piece of legislation, most people who have read the law understand that it is significantly better than the sustainable growth formula (SGR) that the government used to use to compensate physicians. A major benefit of MACRA, the SGR formula was overly complex and it was repealed when MACRA was approved. Under the SGR formula, physicians had a difficult time understanding how they would be compensated for seeing patients with Medicare. Because they couldn't understand the formula, many physicians decided not to see patients on Medicare. This limited patient access to Medicare.
By passing MACRA, the government has ensured that the millions of patients on Medicare would have access to physicians who are now open to treating patients on Medicare. If MACRA hadn't been passed, physicians would have received a major pay cut for services that they provided to Medicare patients. In response, doctors would have refused to see Medicare patients, limiting patient access. MACRA ensures that the millions of people on Medicare will have choices when it comes to their physicians.
In addition, MACRA focuses on patient outcomes instead of the number of patients seen. For decades, physicians operated under a fee-for-service model. This means that physicians are compensated based on the number of patients seen. While this model has its pros and cons, one of the major issues with this model is that it does not consider the quality of the service that has been provided. Under MACRA, doctors can receive bonuses or be penalized based on the outcomes of the patients that they see. If doctors provide exceptional patient care, they will receive a payment bonus under MACRA. This incentivizes physicians to provide quality care instead of trying to see as many patients as possible.
Finally, MACRA also pushes hospitals and physician practices to focus on new pieces of technology that might improve patient outcomes. There is a major issue among physician practices and hospitals across the country in that their electronic medical record systems do not talk to each other. This makes it a challenge to send records between different systems if patients travel to different physician networks. MACRA encourages hospital networks and physician practices to use systems that will talk to each other. This makes it easier for medical systems to share information about patients, leading to improved patient care.
MACRA and Quality Improvement
Improvement of Quality – indicates successes when meeting goals, but also reveals inadequacies.
Transparency – shows stakeholders what they want to know without having to dig through mounds of data, as well as providing patients with information on the organization from which they are receiving care
Accreditation – brings to the forefront certifications presented by outside agencies that indicate standards are being met
Participation in Financial Incentive Programs – attests to the ability of the organization to meet requirements for reimbursements to the maximum percentage when that organization has met minimum standards consistently. Also, indicates that the facilities have adapted to the new technology necessary to achieve such standards. Pinpointing areas in need of performance improvements is much more easily stated than actually found.
Biases come into play and many organizations are bogged down with an overabundance of data that has more value as scrap paper rather than informative data, sometimes known as spreadsheet overload. Missing out on the realization that there are problems or at least problematic areas leads to waste and lower satisfaction in patient care and outcomes. For this, you may want to seek outside analysis and involvement.

Verbal vs Referential Humour
PS. One of the main things that all/most humour theories seem to agree on is that there are two types of humour: 'Verbal' (humorous because of the language used) and 'Referential' (humorous because of the content) (there can also be humour which has both verbal and humorous aspects). This is particularly relevant to a cross linguistic study as some theorists suggest that the only way to distinguish between verbal and referential is to see whether the humour ('funniness') withstands translation (for instance puns, which are very language specific, rarely withstand translation; but a man slipping on a banana peel is considered universally hilarious).

Toastmasters Timing Light
There was a post on the Workshop88 mailing list asking for someone to construct a small manual light box for use by the timer at Toastmasters meetings. The specification was, a switched Green LED, switched Yellow LED, switched Red LED, and a fourth switch to blink all the LEDs at a 1 hz rate. The actual timing is done by a human with a stopwatch, the box just signals the speaker. The Toastmasters' existing setup uses 110 volt incandescent lamps and is not very portable.
Much discussion ensued on the mailing list about what could be done with a Raspberry PI or Arduino, LCD screen, etc. etc. but in the end, I agreed to design and build something simple according to the original manual spec. Ultra bright LEDs could be used with a 555 timer to do the blinking. A standard MN1604 9 volt battery would easily power the LEDs for 8 – 12 hours. And I could use the standard Arduino style enclosure: and Altoids tin.
I've built two of these boxes. The photos on this page are from the second – but first came a prototype on a solderless breadboard.
On the breadboard the timer circuit was checked for reasonableness and LED illumination tested. I found with a nine volt battery I could put two LEDs in series, and with a 200 ohm limiting resistor the Red LEDs drew 15 milliamps, the Yellow 20 Ma, and a pair of Greens 12 Ma. The Red and Green were very bright, Yellow not so much. Later I checked the spec sheet on the Yellow LEDs and found they would take 50 milliamps. I lowered the Yellow limiting resistor to 130 ohms which brought the Yellow current up to 35 Ma and then all three pairs were similarly bright.
These Ultra Bright LEDs have a clear plastic envelope with a lens formed in the end which directs most of the light straight up. I sawed the tip of each LED off at a 45 degree angle to remove the lens. This directs more light to the front and reflects much more to the rear.
Here is the final schematic. This is slightly revised from the first model, the timing person wanted a separate power switch, and also wanted the blink cycle to start with LEDs on rather than LEDs off.
The original breadboard had all three of the grounds at the bottom of the 555 chip connected together, a switch from there to power negative activated the 555. In that configuration, the 10 microfarad capacitor started out in a discharged state which resulted in LEDs off. Splitting that capacitor off and hard grounding it causes it to start in a charged state which turns the LEDs on. Switching the 555 pin 1 to ground starts the blinker.
I constructed the 555 module on a bit of perf board with copper pads on one side. A six hole by seven hole piece holds all the parts. This is the layout sketch I used.
Here is an assembled module. It measures 3/4″ by 5/8″.
With the blinker built and tested, I turned to physical construction of the box. Everything should fit in the lid. I made an aluminum template for drilling the ten holes. In this photo, the four switches have been mounted and there are small holes drilled above the nut for the anti-rotation washer.
The LEDs don't have any formal mounting hardware. To get maximum exposure, they are just inserted in the holes until they bottom out on the shoulder. Then a narrow strip of FR4 perf board is threaded over the leads. This photo is three strips cut from a wire wrap prototype PC board. I use a crosscut sled on a table saw for this, with a narrow carbide blade centered on the fourth row of holes. Width of these strips is important because they help restrain the battery.
The fiberglass PC board strip is tacked down with bits of bent paper clip soldered to the tin lid. That paper clip in the center had to be moved later because it interfered with the battery. Soldering the LED leads in the perf board creates a very rigid assembly. I added the current limiting resistors between the LED pairs.
Spacing between the switches and the LED retaining strip is critical because the nine volt battery has to fit there, but not rattle around. A large paper clip was straightened out, then bent to capture the battery. A paper clip has just enough spring to hold the weight of the battery. This photo shows the battery clip soldered onto the lid. White arrows point to the four Z shaped wires holding the LED retaining strip in place. Ground leads are soldered to each switch and each has been cabled to it's assigned LED pair.
Here is a photo with a battery installed in the clip. You have to be careful not to short the terminals on the lid lip.
At this point the lid is ready to receive the 555 timer blink module. It is mounted with two more bits of soldered paper clip, this time bent into an L shape. One clip is soldered into the ground hole of the perf board, the second in a vacant hole. White arrows in this photo point out the two module mounting clips also three of the LED restraining strip clips. Note the two retaining strip clips nearest the rim are bent parallel to the lid edge. This is to give clearance for the box bottom.
The last piece of hardware installed was the power switch. I used a small slide switch as that type will be less likely to accidentally turn on in somebody's pocket. Two eighth inch holes were drilled, then squared up with a small file. I soldered the ears of the switch to the inside of the box.
Finally the wires for power were added, everything tested, and all loose wires laced up with waxed dental floss. A bit of foam tape was added to the bottom to help make sure the battery clip doesn't come loose. There's a small paper clip loop soldered next to the power switch to take up strain on the wires there.
Here is the finished box with all three LED strings lit. Note this is not a normal condition, only one color at a time should be on, mostly the Green which only draws 12 Ma (but is so bright it hurts your eyes). Blinking will draw about 60 Ma half the time. Duracell's data sheet shows a useful life greater than 8 hours with a 50 milliamp draw so I expect this application to last considerably more than that.
This has been an interesting project that was well received by the users. There is a short video on my Dropbox account.
Added: May 27, 2015
I needed a way to get consistent bevel cuts on the modified LED lenses using my bench grinder which is far quicker than the Dremel tool with cutoff wheel method. The solution as any woodworker would know, is to make a jig. In this case though I was able to re-purpose a fixture I made years ago to hold hand plane irons while touching up the bevel. It's just two pieces of 3/8″ x 3/4″ steel bar stock with half a dozen holes drilled. One piece is tapped, screws through the other then clamp the plane iron in the jig and it can be held tightly to the edge of the grinder's tool rest.
Adapting this fixture to hold LEDs only required adding a washer slightly thicker than the LED wire leads to one end. I had to grind the underside of the threaded bar to get clearance for the grinding wheel. Two LEDs can be slid into the beveled end and clamped there by the screws. A single long screw through one of the threaded holes at the washer end provides a stop that can be held against the grinder tool rest.
I can tweak the grind angle by adjusting the tool rest, and a few passes across the grinding stone produces the consistent bevel I wnt. Just have to be careful not to grind away too much. I put a dab of nail polish on the ground surface to clean up the scratches.

McCain Files Prez Paperwork, Thompson Mulling a Run
On Thursday, Arizona Sen. John McCain (R) will take the first formal step in an expected run for president in 2008, filing papers with the Federal Election Commission to establish an exploratory committee.
The announcement -- and the unveiling of a new Web site to accompany the exploration phase -- is not surprising. McCain and his political team have spent the last two years organizing for a national bid. Expect major McCain speeches to be made available on the new website as soon as tomorrow.
"Senator McCain by filing an exploratory committee with the F.E.C. will initiate the appropriate legal steps to explore his candidacy for President of the United States," said Craig Goldman, spokesman for McCain's exploratory effort. "He will not make a final decision until early next year."
The formalizing of McCain's intentions comes just two days after former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) filed paperwork to create a presidential exploratory committee of his own in New York.
These committees allow aspiring candidates to raise money and travel around the country as they weigh the pros and cons of a presidential bid.
Speaking of exploratory committees, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson (R) told an audience in Des Moines today that he is looking at a run for president. "There should be a Midwestern candidate for president," said Thompson. According to the Des Moines Register, Thompson will set up an exploratory committee in early 2007 and make a final decision on the race by the spring. Thompson served as governor of Wisconsin from 1986-2001 when he left to serve a stint as secretary of the Health and Human Services department.

Someone should tell Tommy Thompson (and Chris) that there already IS a Midwesterner in the race. John Cox of Chicago, former Cook County GOP President, has been running for months, and has state committees established in 20 states and already has over 100 county chairs in early primary and caucus states.
Thompson is another Washington insider and career politician who cannot win over the base of the party, who are desperately looking for CHANGE.
John Cox is a fiscal and social conservative, and would be a far better choice than any of these jokers the leftist media are pushing.

Giuliani is pro-gay and pro-abortion.
McCain is pro-illegal immigration.
How about a real Republican, are there any?

The idea of Tommy Thompson making a run is only slightly less ridiculous than Duncan Hunter's "bid," which promises to be nothing if not entertaining. I still doubt Gov. Thompson makes the jump. He toyed with the Wisconsin press, dropping hints he would run against Gov. Jim Doyle for his old job or against Sen. Herb Kohl before ultimately not making the jump. He lacks any relevance on the national stage and his tenure at HHS is uninspiring to say the very least.

I wouldn't underestimate a four-term GOP governor who won in the high 60's of a blue state which hasn't voted for a Republican presidential candidate since Reagan. He knows how to command a room during speaking engagements and is a master at pressing the flesh. My opinion is he could do good if he works the first primary states like he was running for local office.

McCain's exploratory website looks like it has some potential, but there's very little on it right now. And his biography is out of date: "Now in his third term in the Senate, McCain was re-elected in November 1998 with nearly 70% of the vote." In actuality, he's in his 4th term and was re-elected in 2004 with, well, 76.7% of the vote.

Obama Land Deal Dims Rising Star
It appears that the media honeymoon is over with wunderkind Senator Barack Obama.
Raising his profile for months, the Dems #1 fundraiser and potential Presidential candidate purchased land from an indicted real estate developer and Democratic fundraiser to enlarge his southside Chicago lot using advance money from his book.
It does not appear to have any legal or ethical problems for Obama, but the appearance of a US Senator who has dealings with a person who has been indicted for violating numerous laws is seen as a mistake by many.
Inevitably, when you are moving as fast as Obama seems to be, these mistakes will occur more often and be magnified.
It should give him pause before he makes any decisions.

Funny how Murtha running for House majority leader has dredged up Abscam (DOJ refused to indict or prosecute and House ethics panel voted not to pursue filing of charges) and yet all this talk of McCain running for President and very little talk of Keating, where Senate ethics panel criticized McCain for "questionable conduct."

I think Tommy Thompson could surprise many and gain some traction. There was a story today that Huckabee is even being looked at favorably by some conservatives in NYC. Giuliani and McCain both have a lot of baggage. If no else emerges one of them may end up with the nomination but will have a hard time in the general election.

Thompson has a style that made him very popular in WI, but I'm not sure how that would transfer to the national stage. I think his worst move was taking HHS secretary. He didn't know what he was doing and ended up looking bad. Someone brought up education; there definitely is a feeling that he helped ruin education in WI. In any case I feel like he would be in a better position now if he had just stayed governor. He probably would still be in office.

I'm a cheesehead. Frankly, I think most fondly remember Thompson for his seemingly inumerable chins. The guy is not extremely physically fit. He was decently popular in Wisconsin, but let's be honest. Russ Feingold was dismissed because he was not a household name. Feingold is a guy who's been more outspoken than any other Congressman in opposing the Bush Administration. Additionally, his name heads the most significant piece of finance reform legislation in the past 50 years. So, to put it bluntly, Thompson doesn't really have anything going for him.
Posted by: politicalmind | November 15, 2006 8:32 PM | Report abuse
Thompson is certainly a surprise. He scares me as a potential candidate not because he could win (because that is highly unlikely) but because of his positions. He truly hurt education in Wisconsin during his time as governor. That is not something that we need from the the next president.

It's kind of silly to dis McCain for not being a straight shooter and then complain when he tells you things you don't want to hear.
McCain has hardly been a Bush "yes man" on Iraq. He's been after Rumsfeld's head for years. As far as sending in more troops, he's just calling a spade a spade. Either pull everyone out and leave the Iraqis to their fate or put in enough people to do the job. The worst possible option now is the current situation: enough troops to make a tempting target but not enough to bring order to the country.
Posted by: On The Fence | November 15, 2006 7:14 PM | Report abuse
McCain has rolled the dice on Iraq. He is hoping for two things to occur: (1)The US is out of the Irag War completely, (2)the reaction to the continuing carnage by and among the the Iraqi participants will cause the people to regret the pullout and turn to "If they just listened to me" McCain. In the short run, if Bush goes nuts and increases troops, he has Honest John McCain as cover, but McCain goes down the tubes because this War is over, in my view, as far as the US is concerned (but not tragically for the Iraqis.

"Speaking of exploratory committees, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson (R) told an audience in Des Moines today that he is looking at a run for president. "There should be a Midwestern candidate for president," said Thompson."
Yeah, sure, his name is Evan Bayh. Or Tom Vilsack. Or Barack Obama. Pick one.
Interesting that Thompson has such a negative (and in my mind, accurate) view of the current crop of R candidates. How many more dark horses will emerge?
Any cheeseheads out there want to comment on whether they have a positive view of a potential President Tommy?

What turned me off completely with McCain was that after Rove & Company completely eviscerated him (and in such an ugly way)in the South Carolina primary in 2000, he whole-heartedly supported Bush (and, by extension, Rove) in 2004. The only imagery I can muster is that McCain walked up to Rove in 2004, turned around and bent over. He has no principles whatsoever, and will say and do anything to get elected.
As for Guiliani, he's got the same kind of womanizing problem that Gingrich has -- serial mistresses. He may end up marrying 'em, but there does seem to be an assembly line of sorts. Hmmm, I wonder how they feel about the "defense of marriage" whine.
It's not about leading and protecting the country, it's all about power. Not much changes, really. But there are some good people out there, nevertheless, with both intelligence and authentic leadership qualities -- you know, where you are a leader because you lead, not where you *say* you're a leader. If you have to tell people you're a leader, by definition you *aren't* one.

Guiliani gets the good press for 9/11. Then he wrote a book. Everyone kisses his butt.
But when he runs for President people will take a closer look at his record.
Until 9/11, he was a lousy mayor.
After 9/11 he has raked in the cash working for various politically connected lobbying firms.

Before the 2004 election I would have enthusiastically supported Senator McCain. I believe, however, that when he appeared beside George W.

Life is Great. Cheese Makes it Better. – Avery Ames
Those black and white and brown cows are doing more than just grazing in the fields. The ones in Marin County California are producing milk for some award-winning locally-made, handcrafted cheeses.
Marin County is where artisan cheesemaking in California started. First in the mid-1800s and then again in the 1990s. You might choose to start your quest for cheese with a stay at Straus Home Ranch, an historic farmhouse overlooking Tomales Bay. Their 160 acres of farmland are where organic dairying started in the Western U.S. and their ranch is at the heart of artisan cheesemaking country. Use the farmhouse as your starting point to taste your way through some of the most spectacular cheeses in the country - and if you plan ahead, you can take a tour or visit a farm.
From the ranch you can easily drive to several open locations, all of which offer free tastes, viewing and picnicking.
Start your drive heading South along the Tomales Bay on Highway 1, (take note of where to get oysters or rent a kayak for the next day), towards the historic town of Point Reyes. Though only two blocks long, Point Reyes contains Cowgirl Creamery, where you can view cheesemaking through the window, get tastes at the cheese counter, or if you plan a month ahead, get a full tasting and curdmaking demonstration. Cowgirl is a great place to pick up all varieties of cheese, not just their own, as well as a full assortment of picnic items. Then head East (inland) on the Point Reyes-Petaluma Road, making a quick detour onto Nicasio Valley Road to the quaint village of Nicasio. There you'll find Nicasio Valley Cheese Company. The Lafranchi family produces fantastic farmstead cheeses in the artisanal tradition of their Swiss-Italian cousins in Switzerland. Then retrace your steps to the Point Reyes-Petaluma Road towards Petaluma to stop by Marin French Cheese Company, the oldest continually operating cheese company in the country. Taste their Bries and Camemberts and put out your picnic blanket beside the pond to enjoy all you've picked up along the way.
Check the website CheeseTrail.org for all things cheese-related, focusing on tours, cheesemaking classes and special events.
Thanks to Vivien for the info, and Andrea and Michael for the links.

I cannot believe how much money I have saved with my solar panels so far. Next month I will be able to read my electricity generation meter again and apply for my third feed in tariff cheque. These lighter days are making a big difference to the amount that we are generating which is fantastic.
With the deadline passed for the feed in tariff rate that I am getting, it may be that people are more reluctant to do it now. However, I would encourage you to still do the maths. Take a look at some information about solar panels and this will give you more information. Have a look at what is available and then get a few quotes. Find out how much you will have to invest and calculate what your return is likely to me. Even if you do not make a big return, imagine how it might do compared to the stock market or just being in the bank. The return could potentially still be higher. Of course it all depends on interest rates but it could still be a really good gamble.

Today cloud cost management company Cloudyn announced a new free service for calculating costs of Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances. Reserved Instances are sort of like cloud instances that you pay a retainer for: you pay an upfront fee, and can then pay a discounted rate if/when you use them.
Amazon offers Reserved Instances at different rates depending on term of commitment — either one, two or three years. Cloudyn's Reserved Instance Calculator will use predictions based on usage patterns to recommend optimal purchases. Given that Amazon actually opened its own marketplace for unused Reserved Instances last month, it seems like a tool for planning these purchases could come in pretty handy.

Best satellite DVR feature EVAH!
Dish Network has added one of the best features I've ever heard of to its line of Hopper and Joey DVRs. The new feature is called Auto Hop and promises to go into your recorded programs and delete all traces of commercials automatically each night at 1 AM. Once those commercials were deleted, the show is pieced together into a seamless recording.
I can only imagine TV networks are going to bring a lawsuit against Dish Network very quickly out of fears of lost ad revenue. Let's be honest, DVR owners aren't watching your commercials anyway.

One of the new features in iOS 4.3 is Personal Hotspot, a feature that replaces the tethering function that debuted in iOS 3. We've caught up with the UK networks to find out what we can expect to pay for the service, especially in the light of the fact that this Personal Hotspot service could equip a WiFi only iPad with 3G functionality, saving you £100.
See: How to make an iPhone hotspot: Turn your iPhone into a personal Wifi hotspot
Tethering was limited – it only worked over Bluetooth or USB and supported a single connected device – and it cost around £15 per month, on top of your monthly tariff.
Personal Hotspot lets you share your iPhone's 3G data connection with other devices via WiFi, USB, or Bluetooth. (Note that iPhone 3GS users can only share network connections via Bluetooth and USB, and not WiFi.)
UK mobile networks are still finalising the details of their plans, but we can confirm the following.
Three says that if you're on The One Plan with Three tethering is included, so there's no extra cost for Personal Hotspot. Three told us: "On The One Plan Three gives customers all-you-eat-data, which includes allowing them to use their phone as a modem for tethering, so customers on The One Plan are free to use the Personal Hotspot feature as they like without incurring any additional charges. Customers on other tariffs or on PAYG will have the data use from the Personal Hotspot feature deducted from their allowance as they would any other data use. The best value option in this case is to buy a mobile internet add on.
O2 says is soon to offer new tariffs, but told us that for now its customers can get an Internet Tethering Bolt On for £7.50 a month (500GB). O2 told us: "We'll be offering some new tariffs in the near future that include tethering as part of their data allowance, however for the moment O2 customers looking to tether need an Internet Tethering Bolt On which costs £7.50 a month and gives 500MB of data access."
T-Mobile offers Pay Monthly customers a Mobile Broadband Booster for £5.10 a month (1GB). T-Mobile told us: "T-Mobile users who wish to take advantage of iPhone 4's Personal Hotspot functionality have two options. If they are a Pay Monthly customer they can add a Mobile Broadband Booster to their monthly tariff. This will cost £5.10 per month for those who already have Internet on Your Phone included in their monthly tariff (which will account for the vast majority of iPhone users), or £10.21 for those who do not. This will entitle the customer to a Fair Usage Policy Amount of 1 GB per month. Pay as you go customers, and Pay Monthly customers who do not subscribe to a Mobile Broadband Booster, will be charged at our normal pay as you go rates for mobile broadband usage. These are: £2/day (Fair Usage Policy Amount: 250 MB), £7/week (Fair Usage Policy Amount: 500 MB), £15/month (Fair Usage Policy Amount: 1 GB)"
Orange says it it will offer tethering for £5 a month (500MB). The network told us: "To enable personal hotspots as part of the new iOS 4.3 update feature, customers need to have a tethering option on their account. Tethering bundles are available for £5 per month for 500MB data, and customers must be on an iPhone specific tariff for this. It is a monthly bundle that can be cancelled at any time, subject to 30 days notice."
Vodafone will offers 500MB for £5. The company states on its website: "Tethering is charged separately from the 1GB of mobile internet use that you get as part of your pay monthly price plan. As soon as you tether your laptop or netbook to the internet, you'll pay £5 for 500MB that lasts for 30 days. Use more than 500MB in that time and you'll pay £5 for each extra 500MB."

What Are Federal Grants?
Those who can apply for a grant should establish that they are organizations established for public purpose. Federal grants are provided to increase the capability of the organization to provide public service and public-driven activities.
Aside from encouraging non-government organization to assist the public, federal grants also help the federal government to establish a working relationship and partnership with other organizations without spending too much. These grants also help in combining resources and expertise from the government and those in the non-government organizations for the benefit of the public.
One thing is clear with federal grants though, it cannot be used to acquire or buy any property or services for the benefit of the federal government. But it can be used by any means by the recipient through any kind of activities created by the organization or by any means following the restrictions created by federal government who granted the assistance.
Even with the intention of helping out the public, the grant cannot be used on any expeditious method of acquiring services. There are always requirements and particularities mentioned in the contract upon the presentation of the grant.
The truth is federal grant is not "free money or financial aid". A grantee or the recipient of the grant is required to fulfil obligations expected by the federal government who awarded the grant. If the recipient for any reason failed to comply with the responsibilities that the grant requires, the recipient would definitely face legal woes.
Most of the projects by non-government organization who received a grant would include re-training of workers who have just recently lost their jobs, projects that would attract investors in depressed localities, street or road projects, and other projects or programs similar to these.
Aside from fulfilling the obligations awarded along with the grant, the recipient should also be prepared for complete financial auditing that the government will do. The grant money spent should be properly accounted for and have followed the restrictions that come with grant money. The money not spent is forwarded to the National Treasury. If there would be changes while the grant money is being used, the government should be notified and approve the said changes. If there is a time frame or project phasing, the dates should be met accordingly.
Usually, a grant will be take as long as 3 years. All those three years should be properly accounted for. Government audits are done at least annually. Not following these rules or any guidelines stated by the grant could result to imprisonment due to theft of public funds and other economic and legal trouble.
Federal grants also have similar programs outside the United States. There are subsidies offered by other countries' governments to charities and foundations to subsidize and continue their projects.
To acquire for a grant, it is important to prepare it like how you prepare a business plan. When writing or applying for a grant, the reasons for applying and the how to public will benefit fro the project should be clearly stated. You would like to make an impact on the federal agency reviewing the federal grant application.
Government money came from the public, therefore it is important to make sure that the public's money serve the people. And that is what federal grants are for.

I am painfully aware that I've been neglecting this blog (and the podcast) for weeks now. Sorry.
At first I thought it was writer's block but I wasn't sure. Then I realized that that was not the point, I just had less time than before.
Since February I've been back to exercising again. I started doing ten minutes most days, so that wasn't a problem, and then I went on to doing 45 minutes six times a week, and while that is not a problem per se it takes quite a chunk of time out of my day.
I also finally managed to do my share of housework again. Which is good but takes time away from other things as well.
One of the exercise things I do is strength training with my son three times a week. Since we're doing it together we have to do it in the evenings, between my teaching and dinner. And just yesterday did I realize that that used to be one of the time slots that I had used for blogging or recording a podcast in the past. Bummer.
The other thing (apart from time) is that I am still in the middle of revising a novel. Well, what is supposed to become a novel when it grows up some day.Even though I mostly sit around procrastinating it still seems to take most of my creative energy.
But fear not! I have a plan! I think I can manage to blog again, and record podcasts, if I shift my dy around a bit. As evidenced by this.
I have several posts that I've been wanting to write for ages, and so I'm pretty hopeful there will be more to read here in the future.
I hope you're still all there.

Very cool! I made a similar paracord bracelet (tut at http://paracordcentral.org/paracord-jewelry/paracord-bracelet-instructions/). It is especially suitable to modification like adding beads or extra cord.
A vital bracelet design to know if you are serious.

I would like to give my boyfriend a debit card for my account but I want the debit card to have his name on it. Does it have to be a joint account to do that? Can he just be an authorized user?

Thank you for joining us here at TD Helps, Brittney. We are more than happy to answer your question and guide you in the right direction.
If you have an existing TD Checking account and would like to authorize your boyfriend to be a signer on your account, they must be added as a joint account holder. You are more than welcome to visit your nearest TD Bank during lobby business hours so that both you and your boyfriend can be set up as joint signers, and can sign an updated signature card. To find a TD Store location near you, please visit, http://bit.ly/TDStores. Please make sure both parties, including you, bring the following documents: a valid photo I.D. (Driver's License, Passport, Military I.D. etc.) and Social Security number.
Once your boyfriend is added to your account as a joint account signer, he may obtain a TD Visa Debit Card while he is at the TD Bank Store. All TD Banks have an instant issue machine where he may obtain a new card seven days a week. Your boyfriend will walk out with a new card in his hand!
Brittney, we hope this helps. Enjoy the rest of your night!

Are joint account holder's on the account owners with full access or only have access as assigned by account owner? Will they show up as an owner?

Thanks for joining us here at TD Helps Phil. We would be happy to help provide information on how to add a signer to your account.
When adding an authorized signer to an account, this user will be able to have the same access as the primary account holder. Additionally, this user will be able to obtain their own debit card/ATM if applicable to the account type and have their own online banking profile for the account.
To add a signer to an existing TD Bank Checking or Savings account, both the account holder(s) and the prospective signer would have to visit a TD Store and speak with a Customer Service Representative. Please make sure to bring proper identification (Driver's License, State issued photo ID, Passport, etc.) and Social Security number.
We hope this helps Phil. Have a great one and please keep in touch.

Online Arbitrage
Online Business
Putting Up an Online Business in Simple Steps
Being an employee these days is no longer something many people look forward to. The fact of the matter is that if you want to be able to earn a lot of money, the best way of doing it is to go into business.

Some people go into online business to sell certain kinds of products. Other people go into online business and sell online services.

Steve Fisher has retired as San Diego State basketball coach and it certainly is the right time for his departure.
His final team wasn't all that good — 19-14 to snap a streak of 11 straight 20-win campaigns — while playing in a Mountain West that was mediocre at best and now firmly entrenched as a one-bid league when it comes to the NCAA Tournament.
Several times this season, I tossed out social media comments that it would be Fab Five Fish's final season. It just had that feeling about it.
Longtime assistant coach Brian Dutcher — one of the most genuinely nice people in college basketball — takes over the program.
Fisher, 72, went 386-209 in 18 seasons with the Aztecs and posted 12 20-win seasons and led the program to eight NCAA Tournament appearances, including a string of six straight.
Making six straight NCAA Tournament appearances was surreal for a program which was among the worst in the nation when Fisher was hired.
Remember, I was covering that awful program when Fisher was hired and he was far from the preferred target.
I broke the story that then-Utah coach Rick Majerus interviewed for the job and Majerus was close to taking it a few days later before he said no. Fran Fraschilla also was offered the job (nope, I didn't break that one) as was then-Gonzaga coach Dan Monson (yep, broke that one and was waiting at the airport for his Sunday night flight to arrive and when he didn't come out of the jet way, I knew that was a problem for San Diego State).
At that point, then-athletic director Rick Bay turned to Fisher, who was desperate to get back into college coaching. He had been fired at Michigan a few years earlier and I still remember how stunned I was upon meeting him that he had gray hair in 1999, just a few years after having a full head of brown hair while coaching the Wolverines.
The Aztecs were putrid in his first season and went 5-23 and then Fisher booted five inherited players off the team to free up scholarships.
Two seasons later, led by junior-college transfer Randy Holcomb, the Aztecs made the NCAA Tournament. Credibility had arrived for a program that previously had none.
Eventually, the 20-win seasons became an annual thing but there was still the matter of the program having ZERO NCAA Tournament wins. And you really don't have a program if you've never won an NCAA Tournament game.
Finally, the Kawhi Leonard-led Aztecs had the best season in program history in 2010-11 with a 34-3 mark — a season that will still be the best in school history in 2117 if the world exists.
San Diego State finally got that elusive NCAA tourney win by beating Northern Colorado and eventually lost in the Sweet 16 to eventual national champion Connecticut. The Aztecs also topped 30 wins when they went 31-5 in 2013-14 and again reached the Sweet 16 before falling to Arizona.
If you haven't figured it out, 30-win seasons aren't supposed to be accomplishments achieved by the San Diego States of the college basketball landscape.
Last season's final hurrah was not a good one for Fisher but he certainly elevated the program to heights nobody foresaw. Dutcher has been his right-hand man for all of those 18 seasons so the program philosophy won't change.
The challenge for Dutcher is to have last season's subpar campaign be an aberration. Once programs like San Diego State fall back into being just another mid-major program in a poor basketball league, it becomes harder to rise back up. Isn't that right, UNLV?
But know this: Dutcher steps into a far better situation than the one Fisher inherited. The days where nobody cared that San Diego State even had a basketball program seems like centuries ago.
It was a good run for Steve Fisher but good for him to recognize that it was time for him to depart.

A pall of fog fell upon the bay beside the Venetian Islands, a small archipelago among the blue-washed isthmus of Miami Beach. It was extremely warm, a climate that's simpatico with the mission here at Art Basel Miami Beach — the heat can cause delirium, and delirium means more sales.
But by nightfall the sales were over, and it was time instead to spend a few hours quizzing fellow party attendees about what other parties they were attending after this current party. Such was the case at The Standard — the hotel jutting out above an atoll on the Venetian Islands — for the Cocktails and Curators event, which honored Klaus Biesenbach, curator of MoMa PS1. Klaus Biesenbach is a towering Teutonic white-maned figure who confounds and convinces in a single sentence. For example, here's Klaus Biesenbach, on stage with director Spike Jonze and Diana Widmaier-Picasso, accepting his award for curatorial excellence:
"I actually don't know why I'm being honored — or who's honoring me," he said.
Noted. The devilish smile of Mr. Biesenbach walked off stage, and I decided to leave, off to watch another ego expound on art and design: Kanye West was to engage in a colloquium with Jacques Herzog, the architect behind celebrated firm Herzog & De Meuron, moderated by another impeccably manicured European intellectual, Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Well, that was the plan, but Mr. West happened to be over an hour late. Naturally, no one left. Everyone wanted to see if Kanye West showed up, whether he would deliver a bizarre sermon on American ethics, music, Kim, all of that. One guest likened the scenario to a hostage situation.
Around 10:30, Kanye West took the stage with a smiling Hans Ulrich Obrist and Jacques Herzog, who was looking cadaverous with sunken cheekbones and a frail frame. The celebrated architect and moderator attempted to talk, but at a certain point, they simply yielded the floor to Kanye West.
"When I saw this one lamp, this one Corbusier lamp that's now in my apartment in Paris, it was made of concrete but looked really modern," Mr. West said, "My girlfriend saw it, and she really liked it too. She had always questioned my taste before, because my Claudio Silvestrin apartment in New York is really minimalist that it has no femininity whatsoever, it's hyper masculine, except for like maybe a canvas couch or something. When she saw this lamp, though, she really liked it. It was made of stone and concrete, to be put in this zoo for everyone to see, and that really inspired me, as like a mission. I had been given art through sonics, but we're held back by the amount of information given to us. I Google — well, I know not to Google because they could come and completely ruin my life! — but the pictures that pop up at the top are not the highest level of information for people to get educated. I like the fact that the Corbusier lamp cost so much for me as a rich person, but it was made for poor people. When we did the Watch The Throne tour, we had the two cubes come up, and we had the VIP in front of one of the cubes, and when we would start the show, the second cube comes up, and completely fucks up the view for all the VIPs!"
The crowd of bottle blonde Miami women in Gucci dresses, many of whom were standing behind pillars, chuckled nervously. Many others chatted by the bar as if Kanye West wasn't actually talking about lamps, heart surgery and the NSA.
The talk ended, and after a beer at Michaels with a few design journalists at Surface magazine, I walked over to Silencio, the pop-up version of David Lynch's nightclub in Paris, which had taken over two floors of The Moore Building in the design district. Sure, this southern outpost of the otherworldly bar in the Montmartre lacked the sheer zaniness of the original, but it made up for it in audacity. Around midnight, after the crowd has consumed an unholy amount of Grey Goose, the fuzzy creations of artists Takashi Murakami started sauntering through the crowd of Basel all-stars. They were the monsters from "Where the Wild Things Are" mixed with Japanese Manga, and big enough to haunt your dreams.
It was around this time that a friend texted to say he was rolling up with Lindsay Lohan, only to say a few minutes later that they had driven up and then immediately taken off — Justin Bieber was at LIV, back in Miami Beach, and that's where Lohan wanted to go.
Soon a voice echoed through the main floor of the Silencio pop-up.
"Takashi!" Pharrell Williams said, looking out into the crowd. "Takashi, where you at? Ah, there you are. Get over here. Takashi, he's one of the greatest geniuses of our time. Now, we're gonna form a line, me and Takashi, and everybody's gotta follow. You too, Diddy!"
Puff Daddy, standing on a banquette in the back, pointed at Pharrell and started doing a wiggle dance, clapping his hands, but decided not to join the conga line behind Pharrell and Takashi Murakami.
I joined the conga line behind Pharrell and Takashi Murakami. In fact I joined right behind them, so when Pharrell started singing "Blurred Lines," I was on stage next to Murakami himself and his megadealer, Emmanuel Perrotin.
Takashi, who was wearing a pink octopus hat and a jacket with pink bulbs all over it, was smiling.
"I love this song!" he exclaimed, as he lifted his iPhone to take a selfie with Pharrell in the background.
"You know you want it!" Pharrell sang. "You know you want it!" the crowd repeated back.
"Now, this next song's for Diddy," Pharrell said, pointing again at Puff Daddy. Puff Daddy did his little dance. "I've had a very good year," Pharrell said.
And with that he launched into "Get Lucky."
After Pharrell finished singing, Silencio cleared out. It was time to go to another pop-up of another Paris-based club, Le Baron, in the Delano Hotel, back on the beach. I stayed there late, with a brief stop at Chez Andre across the street, watching the cut-jawed collectors drink away the night before another day of spending millions on art. Does one have to be despicable to take part in Art Basel? Is there any redemption behind this giant ceremony of wealth and excess and snobbery?
I'll stick around and drink with the art crew for a few more days and find out.

I used some leftover pizza dough as the pate fermentee for a pain de campagne today.
The bread turned out ok, but plenty of room for improvement.
I started baking at around 425F. Unfortunately, I didn't get the oven hot enough by the time the dough was ready, so the crust isn't very brown, and it took about 30 minutes just to get where it was.
Also, I wasn't careful about getting all of the coals out of the oven. Some of the remaining coals continued to smoke after the door was closed and the loaves were baking, giving the bread a little bit of a smoky taste. It's not bad, but not great either.
