Reviews of this property
Host is very kind and prompt response.
Very nice APT & TV for all around world.
But the hot water at shower was not clean (rust wather?) and the area where APT locates is some what dirty.
First of all, many thanks to Necla, she was awesome host with a lovely family. They all threated us like family. Necla and all of her family were always helpful and kind. We 100% recommend Necla as host, you will have a nice stay with her and feel save and taken care of.
Also the surrounding area is not the finest, the building and specialy our room were superb. Very clean and comfy. With a good cooler and a nice shower. The kitchen is also good for a little brunch at times. Everything was new and really lovely decorated.
The Apartment is near Taksim and Isteklal, so it is close to the shopping and party areas. There is also a nearby busstation from which a bunch of lines depart and of course the omnipresent Taksi (Taxi) are available at all times to take a trip to another area of big and loud istanbul. We would recommend to get a Istanbulkart for the Bus and Metro, so every ride would cost you just 2 lira. For dining we would recommend to have a bit at the places were the locals eat, so not the pricy ones directly at Isteklal. Just ask Necla and she will show you were the good food for a reasonable price is. And also use the transfer service Necla offers you will be greatful after the fligth and all the security checks you have to endure.
Bottom line: Perfect host, superb room, good price!

Me and my four friend had an amazing stay in Istanbul at Nelly's. Even though the surrouding streets are quite dirty and full of broken houses, Nellys is nothing of this. The apartment is very cozy and was cleaned every day, the breakfast Nelly made every morning was delicious as well.
I would definetly recommend this appartement to friends!!
The stay at Nelly and her family was very nice.
We were 4 adults and 2 children, the apartment is very clean and the decor is very neat.
Nice neighborhood and populaire.A nearby, there are grocery stores open 24h / 24, a supermarket, a bakery, cafes and a popular market on Sunday ... the apartment is located on a slight slope but quite feasible for adults and children! Ideal location within 10 minutes walk of the great Istiklal Avenue.
Regarding the owner, just tell you that Nelly and her family are available at any time, and a large gentillesse.Elle will welcome you and make you a walk in the neighborhood ... and above all to inform you of the good culinary Plans .. ..
Go there without problems ....

Le séjour chez Nelly et sa famille fut très agréable.
Nous étions 4 adultes et 2 enfants, l'appartement est très propre et la décoration est très soigné.
Le quartier est sympa et populaire.A proximité, il y a des épiceries ouvertes 24h/24, un supermarché, une boulangerie,des cafés et un marché populaire le Dimanche...l'appartement est situé sur une légère pente mais tout à fait faisable pour adultes et enfants! L'emplacement est idéal à moins de 10 minutes à pied de la grande avenue Istiklal.
Concernant la propriétaire, juste vous dire que Nelly et sa famille sont disponibles à tout moment, et d'une grande gentillesse.Elle saura vous accueillir et vous faire une petite balade du quartier...et surtout vous informer des bons plans culinaires....
Allez y sans problème....
Soufia, Kamel, Nour et Walid.....
we have a nice and good time in the place. The apartment was clean, comfortable. It is just few minutes from main transportations , shops , cafe and restaurants. we really enjoyed the time at the apartment. Ms Necla is very accommodating, thanks a lot for your hospitality during our visiting Istanbul.
Very clean apartment where nothing is lacking, located in a typical and authentic district, ideally located for visiting Istanbul metro tram bus.
What about the home of Nelly and Mustapha? quite OUTSTANDING: kindness, availability, listening and time .Our trip to Istanbul attentions was a success from every point of view and that we owe in large part to this fabulous family Another big thank you
Stan and Marion Corinne Radek Arsene
Appartement très propre où rien ne manque,situé dans un quartier typique et authentique, idéalement situé pour visiter Istanbul: bus tramway métro.
Que dire de l'accueil de Nelly et Mustapha ? tout à fait EXCEPTIONNEL :gentillesse, disponibilité, écoute et maintes attentions .Notre voyage à Istanbul fut une réussite à tous points de vue et cela nous le devons en grande partie à cette fabuleuse famille Encore un grand merci
Corinne Marion Radek Stan et Arsene
The apartment is exactly as described in text and image, fully equipped and in very good condition. It is located in a quiet side street of a simple residential area, which is used only by residents. Being located in the ground floor there is a private entrance, which is secured as the window with bars. Plenty of natural light, you can not expect, but during the day it is anyway mostly traveling or visiting Nelly and her family, for example, to a delicious breakfast, which you can book it.
The location is ideal to explore Istanbul. As described to get within a few minutes walk to Istiklal Street, the Metro, the Taksim Square to Tünel or web without having to endure the nightly noise of the center!
Nelly and her family are very nice and easy, it feels very familiar with the other guests. Nelly was always approachable and helpful, they always had good tips or suggestions for staying in or around Istanbul.
Clear recommendation when you want with insights into Turkish life. I would book again with Nelly.
Die Wohnung ist genau wie in Bild und Text beschrieben, komplett ausgestattet und in einem sehr guten Zustand. Sie liegt in einer ruhigen Seitenstraße eines einfachen Wohnviertels, die nur von Anwohnern genutzt wird. Durch die Lage im Erdgeschoss gibt es einen eigenen Eingang, der wie die Fenster mit Gittern gesichert ist. Viel Tageslicht kann man nicht erwarten, aber tagsüber ist man ohnehin meist unterwegs oder man besucht Nelly und ihre Familie zum Beispiel zu einem leckeren Frühstück, das man dazu buchen kann.
Die Lage ist optimal, um Istanbul zu erkunden. Wie beschrieben kommt man in ein paar Minuten zu Fuß zur Istiklal Straße, zur Metro, zum Taksim Platz oder zur Tünel Bahn, ohne dass man den nächtlichen Lärm des Zentrums ertragen muss!
Nelly und ihre Familie sind ausgesprochen nett und unkompliziert, man fühlt sich mit den anderen Gästen sehr familiär. Nelly war jederzeit ansprechbar und hilfsbereit, sie hatte immer gute Tipps oder Anregungen für den Aufenthalt in Istanbul und Umgebung.
Klare Empfehlung, wenn man möchte mit Einblicken in das türkische Leben. Ich würde wieder bei Nelly buchen.
I just come back from this place.
I had a very very good staying there, the position is very good for visiting city and for night life,very close to many clubs and restaurants, and bus station.
Room was great, NEW, big and clean. About Necla family i can only say they're cute and really nice, and helping you if you need.
I'll be back to Istanbul, sure i'll be here again!.
Sono appena tornato da questa location e la consiglio vivamente, è vicina alla stazione dei pulman, a piazza taksim, e alla zona dei locali notturni.
ho trovato una stanza grande, nuova e, soprattutto, pulita.
Necla e la sua famiglia sono stati gentilissimi, aiutandomi quando ne avevo bisogno con informazioni, ricerche, ecc.
Tornassi ad istanbul, e tornerò....tornerei in questa guesthouse.
Saubere Wohnung! Sehr nette Gastgeberin und Nachbarn!
Die anderen Häuser in dieser Straße sind sehr alt, aber davon nicht abschrecken lassen! Die Wohnung hat alles was man braucht und liegt zentral.
Cok tsk. Necla Abla!

The Daily Startup: Nuclear-Waste Company Kurion Acquires Vista Engineering
Top stories in today's VentureWire:
Kurion Inc., the only American company to work directly on the cleanup at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, is expanding its reach in the U.S. and the world through the purchase of a larger engineering services company, VentureWire has learned. Kurion acquired Vista Engineering Technologies Inc. in a deal that triples its staffing. The integration of Vista also moves Kurion into becoming a platform provider of a variety of technologies and engineering services to nuclear waste and other sectors, instead of being primarily a technology company, said William Gallo, chief executive at Kurion.
Confidential data is leaking out as companies move applications and data from private to public clouds, and traditional security–the kind that works inside a company's perimeter–doesn't always work on the outside. CloudLock Inc., formerly known as Aprigo, raised $16.5 million in new funding to help solve this problem after tweaking its strategy and attracting more than 600 paying customers. The Series C round was led by Bessemer Venture Partnersand includes current investors Cedar Fundand Ascent Venture Partners.
Also in today's VentureWire, Travel-technology startup Rocketmiles Inc. has raised $6.5 million led by August Capital to fuel its growth in the U.S. and with business travelers and other frequent fliers around the world…As it snags the country's largest health-care system as a customer and hatches a plan to go public within the next few years, data warehousing and analytics provider Health Catalyst Inc. has raised a $41 million insider Series C round to build hundreds of new analytics applications…and Igenica Inc. has increased its Series C round to $47 million as it prepares to launch clinical trials of a treatment for acute myelogenous leukemia that could be a new option for many patients, including those who can't tolerate chemotherapy.

WASHINGTON, D.C., January 2, 2013 – Several key alternative energy provisions in the "fiscal cliff" bill, expected to be signed by the President, will directly benefit the propane industry and its customers. Richard Roldan, NPGA's President and CEO, congratulated Congress for recognizing the importance that alternative fuels, such as propane, play in the nation's energy and employment objectives.
"The alternative fuel tax provisions are uniquely important, not just to the propane industry, but for every American because they help us achieve our energy security goals," Roldan said. According to a recent independent study, virtually all of the propane consumed in the United States is produced from North American resources.
Noting the specific benefit to the growing propane autogas sector, Roldan said, "The extension of the alternative fuel tax credit and the refueling infrastructure tax credit will help get more propane autogas vehicles on the road and encourage fleet managers to strongly consider alternative fuel options before making a decision." The cost to convert a vehicle to propane autogas is substantially lower than other alternative fuels, making it an ideal option for many fleets.
Produced from natural gas, propane is clean, efficient, and used in a variety of applications in transportation, residential and commercial heating and cooking, agricultural, as well as chemical and industrial applications. Extending the alternative fuel excise tax credit and the alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit gives all alternative fuels, like propane, more economic certainty to spur greater investments in the future.
Currently, about 10 million U.S. households use propane for heating, cooking, and many other needs. Also contained in the legislation is the Energy Efficient Existing Homes Tax Credit (for qualified appliances) and the Energy Efficient New Homes Tax Credit extending the tax benefits through the end of 2013 for using propane, and other energy efficient fuels, in homes.
The National Propane Gas Association is the national trade association of the propane industry. NPGA represents approximately 3,000 companies, including producers, wholesalers, transporters, and retailers of propane gas as well as the manufacturers and distributors of associated propane equipment and appliances. 50 million Americans choose propane as their energy source. Propane is a clean-burning, efficient and climate-friendly alternative fuel that is available now. For more information about NPGA and the propane gas industry, visit NPGA on the Internet at www.npga.org<http://www.npga.org>.

Life During Wartime
Why It Matters
This Ain't No Fooling Around
War causes untold misery to humans all over the world. Many people believe war is unique to human beings, some say it is a sign of our savagery as a species, and some say it is a sign of our superiority and intellect. Central to both these views is the "uniqueness" of Homo sapiens compared to other animals, coupled with the notion (often held by people in urban environments) that "nature" is peace and love. Unfortunately, nature doesn't seem to care what Homo sapiens think.
Researchers have found that chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) hunt and kill cooperatively and go to war over territory. Find out more here:

- http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2010/06/100621-science-chimpanzees-chimp-gangs-kill-mitani/
Bonobos (Pan paniscus) is another species of chimpanzee. After observing Bonobos interact with each other in the wild, some researchers began to create an idealized picture of these great apes drawing distinctions between the enlightened Bonobo and the savage Chimpanzee, while pondering which was really our closest relative. Unfortunately, bonobos do not seem so peaceful when it comes to other species.

I am in college so i was watching these birds every day on my way to school so i was itching for the 4/14/12 Opening day of Kentucky's Turkey season. However, I had no idea how awesome this hunt would be. I had several turkeys gobbling to my right On the roost, but then in a direction i was completely unsuspecting of, two toms started heading right for my decoy spread. After what seemed like an hour they then started running to my Pretty Boy decoy and attacked it. I shot one of the birds then the other one hung around till another bird came in and fought him right in front of my blind. One of the neatest things ive ever seen while turkey hunting... it only makes it that much sweeter that I got it on tape my very first time videoing. Definitively, one of the best hunts I have ever had. The Bird had a 10 3/4 inch bird, 5/8'' spurs and weighed 20 lbs.

To help you and me get through the drudgery of August, I will present in this space a daily scoop of MSU football-ness, as inspired by a certain ice cream chain. August has 31 days, so I'll let you work it out from there. Here is today's flavor.
I have written more about cowbells the past four years than I ever thought I would when I got into this business 14 years ago. They are an indispensable part of the MSU fan experience, which is something outsiders have a hard time understanding. To non-MSU fans, cowbells are a great annoyance and something to mock as they make jokes about tractors and cows and such.
That's because unless you're an MSU fan, it's hard to understand the meaning they hold. MSU fans give tiny cowbells to their babies; they hand them down to sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters; some are old and dented from years of use, others are shiny silver and sit prominently displayed upon mantles and shelves.
Cowbells entered the picture at some point prior to World War II. As the legend goes, MSU was playing Ole Miss one day, and trailing, when a cow meandered onto the field. The Bulldogs rallied to win, and the cowbell came to be seen as a good-luck charm. It's now more than that – it's a fixture. It adds to the outside image of MSU as a "cow college," but MSU fans seem to embrace that to a degree. And that's good, because agrarian life is not something to be looked down upon. My family has agrarian roots, and it's good and healthy to embrace one's country-ness.
Anyway, cowbells for a long time were not legal to bring into stadiums to ring, but the SEC and the school worked things out in the Great Cowbell Compromise of 2010. Fans are now allowed to bring 'em and ring 'em during SEC home games, so long as they ring at appointed times. Non-conference games are a free-for-all. And the fans, to the surprise of many skeptics, have learned to "respect the bell," to use the school's words.
A week from today, the cowbells return to Davis Wade Stadium, and a longstanding, much beloved tradition will return. It's the kind of tradition that's good for college football.

American Moderns, 1910-1960 : From O'Keeffe to Rockwell Exhibition Opening (Museums)
Time: 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM
Location: Reynolda House Museum of American Art
Ranging widely in subject matter and style, the fifty-three paintings and four sculptures featured in this exhibition from the Brooklyn Museum were produced by the most well-known artists from 1910-1960 including Georgia O'Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, Grandma Moses, Joseph Stella, Elie Nadelman, and Norman Rockwell. Significant works by these and other artists in the exhibition exemplify their unique contributions to modern culture.Between 1910 and 1960, both American society and art underwent tumultuous and far-reaching transformations. Many artists rejected or reformulated artistic traditions, seeking new ways to make their work relevant in a contemporary context. The exhibition is organized in interpretive groupings by themes such as the city, the body, landscape, still life, and Americana, all of which explore the myriad ways in which American artists engaged with modernity.

Chipped away some more at the Mac IIfx SCSI driver today. Resisted the urge to buy anything at the mall.
In the 'old news' column, I added MySQL support to Red Hat's 'php' package last month. You will have to make sure you have MySQL RPMs already installed, download the php .src.rpm, and rebuild it yourself after uncommenting the unrelated parts in the php.spec file. If MySQL could be distributed by Red Hat, this would not be an issue, but such is the case with 37 different 'open source' flavor licenses, I suppose.
More 'old news': check out the Interactive Disassembler. While a little pricy, this program kicks total ass. It disassembles m68k, x86, 6502, Java byte-code, etc. etc. etc. I need to re-new my license so I can harass the poor author to add more Macintosh support.
Speaking of Macintosh, has anyone ever tried to get the 'sigcontext' to work with a signal() handler? My flailing attempts have failed repeatedly. Any pointers would be great: mail me at email@example.com. Thanks!

I'm not buying it, not for a second.
I'm not buying into any characterization of Phil Jackson's recent HBO interview that claims he had no interest in the formerly vacant New York Knickerbockers head coaching position. The "Real Sports" conversation is scheduled to be aired on 6-19.
By highlighting his use of the word "clumsy" when describing the Knicks in his talk with Andrea Kremer (NYT – Beck – 6/15; CBS – Moore – 6/16; AP-Fox – "Phil" – 6/16), Jackson is broadly painted as being aloof to the MSG post.
I think that's hog-wash, straight from the media spin-cycle.
Besides the obvious reasons, like his availability and NYC past, there are 'tells' (and red-herrings) in these floated excerpts of the interview that tell me Phil was, if not enamored, at least somewhat vested in the idea of filling the Knicks' coaching job last May.
First he tells Andrea, "I wasn't gonna' take the (Knicks) job, that's for sure." That's a red-herring. If,…IF you were interested in a position, took a gander and it didn't develop, isn't that like something you'd say? Maybe.
To further dampen curiosity, the coach states Knicks' ownership "never called." But that could mean one of two things: either their people had no conversation at all about the job, or, both sides put out pre-interview feelers, reached an impasse and hence, no phone call.
Then Phil wades into the Knicks roster, making it sound like his typical scenario, a talented team in need of a maestro to bring it all together to make beautiful music (Bulls ('89) & Lakers ('99)) and the perfect setting for start of the newest Jacksonian Era.
Rightly perplexed, Andrea prompts the Zen-master: "But wouldn't you have been the perfect person to come in and blend all that talent together? You sort of have a good history of that."
Phil: "Yeah. Well, it didn't happened." That's a tell.
He could have said, 'You're right, Andrea, in the past that's exactly the spot I would've reveled in and took-on as a challenge. But now I'm older and don't have that kind of energy, that kind of patience.' He didn't say that.
Instead: "Yeah. Well, it didn't happen."
Reads to me like a guy who was curious-interested about the job and feels a bit put-off.
You have to read between the lines here but it's not like some coded-text CIA-man Rob Redford and his 'wrong place at the wrong time' co-workers (RIP) had to decipher in Three Days of the Condor ('75).
Intentional or not, Phil Jackson may've given us all a clue. I think, within certain parameters, he wanted the Knicks job. But ownership, for whatever reason, wouldn't or couldn't make it happen. Heck, PJ himself made the case for his hiring in the interview.
Why the deal never matured, only the possible principals would know that story. But it's hard to imagine, someone with Jackson's reputation, experience, in these circumstances, not being contacted at all or making the fatal negotiation error of asking for something he couldn't reasonably expect from Knicks' ownership. Hard to imagine, indeed.
Though, if I'm Knicks' owner James Dolan / MSG, I don't offer Phil the sun and the moon, let alone the stars too. Phil's getting up there in years and he wasn't being disingenuous about the problems with team chemistry at the Garden. No matter who's at the helm, turning this Knicks roster into a Finals regular is a long-shot.
And if you're a Knicks' fan whose pride was left a little bruised by the Jackson interview, my advice: suck it up. Nothing said in those interview-excerpts hasn't already been hammered home by media & fans, around the nation, ad nausea, for the past two years.
But it's all a moot point now as the Knickerbockers made 2012 interim coach Mike Woodson their main-man. He could be the answer-man as the team seemed to find some direction, some stability under his late-season stewardship after D'Antoni's departure.
This Knicks team needs more than direction to become a viable contender. It's a group in need of a decorated-leader whose reputation compels all to subjugate their egos (Anthony / Stoudemire) and take instruction, especially when hard times test your resolve & faith.
Big question: Does Phil keep himself free on chance Woodson quickly becomes the out-man? My hunch: "Maybe no (Furio)" That's not Phil's style.
The full HBO interview may shed more light on Phil Jackson's mindset. Present reports indicate he's ready to venture back into the game in the right situation. Ending his coaching tenure where his NBA career began would've been special, but then the Knicks are a riddle that even the Zen-master or CIA bookworm would have trouble de-coding.

PONTOTOC – Gloria Fitzpatrick is making sure Mississippi is represented at President Barack Obama's inauguration for the second time.
Fitzpatrick is taking a group of north Mississippians, mostly from the Pontotoc and Tupelo area, to Washington to see the Jan. 21 swearing-in of Obama for his second term.
The group gathered recently in Pontotoc to discuss plans for the trip.
Fitzpatrick also took a group in 2009.
"When I went the first time I said, 'Y'all, we've got to come back again,'" she said. "I knew when we went the first time we would be coming back because normally when a president runs again, they are there for eight years."
Fitzpatrick said going to an inauguration was on her bucket list and 2009 offered the perfect opportunity, watching history being made as the first black president was sworn in.
"Now we're watching history made a second time," she said. "My grandkids can tell their grandkids, 'My grandmother went not only once, but twice.'"
Shirley Bogan accompanied Fitzpatrick on the first trip.
"It was a good experience the first time and it was great to see (Obama) in person," she said. "I am proud he is our president and I would like to go back and see him again. I get to tell my child and my nieces and nephews about it."
The group of about 80 north Mississippians will leave Tupelo the evening of Friday, Jan. 19, in two buses and drive through the night to Washington, returning Monday after the ceremony.
Sandra Evans is taking her son.
"I feel like this is a once-in a-lifetime opportunity," she said. "I have a 10-year-old son, Samuel, and I want him to go and have this experience. He may not get to go to a presidential inauguration again so I want to share this with him."
Canary Brooks is a Shannon High School student and like Samuel Evans, younger than the majority of the others going on the trip, but she said she wanted to jump at this opportunity.
"To me, as a young adult, I feel like this is a very important opportunity and should have an impact on my life – to see our United States president."

Looking for a New Setup
Hi everyone,
This is the first time i've looked on here, let alone posted and everyone here seems pretty cool.
Anyway I've been flyfishing probably since i was 10 or so I suppose (I'm 19 now). Currently I still have the same rod and reel setup that my dad got me and my brother way back then. It's definatly nothing special but plenty good for the trout stocking here in New Jersey and the ocassional bass from my neighbors pond. Recently however I've been toying with the idea of working up the money for a new setup and a summer trip to Alaska in between semesters in college. I would like a nice rod and reel combo that can handle the fishing I do here, the average thing I would come up with in a river in Alaska, and possible something that can handle some salt water fishing (my college is 1 mile from the beach and theres quite a bit of stripers and bluefish that are caught down there nothing gigantic mind you of course.). any suggestions would be good.
as far as rods go i'm pretty lost i was assuming something in like the 5 or 6 weight area (probably a little light for the shore but thats more of a just messing around kind of thing)
reels i like the looks of the G-loomis EastFork, Orvis Match center drag, and Ross Evolution reels but please keep in mind that I never used any of these they just seem like pretty nice reels.
Thank you guys for your time,

10Gpix with just 96 18Mpix images: cheat, or be sensible - your call. This image is made by combining images shot at different focal lengths. The idea is to use a wide angle for the whole scene and a long lens for the detail. Of course if the details are to be preserved at 1:1 then the pixels in the wide angle shots have to be blown up making the gigapan enormous with no detail in most of it. On the other hand, the image only records detail where there is detail to be seen.

Using a second camera hadn't occurred to me but then neither had the idea of carrying two sets of gear around :-) You seem to suggest you have made images like this yourself. Do you have links? Also what do you use to stitch? AP?
It is even possible to use a separate camera to shoot the sky. Parallax is not much of an issue. Getting the clouds on the horizon at the same time is required for a good stitch. Exposure, atitching, and blending is an ongoing challenge.

When you tell someone you're vegan, they ask (often incredulously) "What do you eat?!". We'll seek to answer that question here. We probably won't have a plethora of original gourmet recipes to share (though there may be a few), but we can point you to recipes (or restaurants) we like that were created by other talented people (or maybe just let you know what we've pulled out of our freezer). It's not that hard eating vegan. Allow us to demonstrate.

Calling Los Angeles Goblinites
UPDATE: Everything has worked out and she's going to be fine. THANK YOU to those who contacted her, offering to help!
This is another one of those weird times, where I use this blog to try and help someone that we don't know, but is in a bit of trouble. A Goblins reader has a friend in Los Angeles who is about to be kicked out of her place for reasons outside of her control. She's got a place set up for the end of February but without help, she's totally screwed until then.
If you're in the LA area and have the ability and space to let someone crash with you until the end of the month or even just part of that time, please contact her through her Twitter. She's about my age and although I've never met her, she's a personal friend of a Goblins reader whom I know and trust.
I believe she has only a few days until she's out, so if there's anyone out there who can help in some way, you'd be saving her butt as well as making a grateful friend (I'll also mail you a plushie Big Ears).

Gold miner Newmont Mining (NEM) said after Monday's bell that its first-quarter profit was 63 cents a share on revenue of $2.18 billion. Adjusted earnings per share was 71 cents. The company missed Wall Street consensus estimates, which called for profit of 77 cents on sales of $2.24 billion, according to FactSet.
Newmont's shares were down more than 2% following the earnings results. The stock close up 1.5% during the day's session, though it's down 27% in 2013.
Newmont also provided some guidance for the year:
The Company continues to expect full year 2013 attributable gold and copper production of 4.8 – 5.1 million ounces and 150 – 170 million pounds, respectively. Planned production is expected to increase in the second half of the year primarily as a result of greater mill throughput in Nevada and the ramp up of first production at Akyem in Ghana.
Newmont is lowering its 2013 attributable and consolidated capital expenditure outlook by $100 million to $2.0 to $2.2 billion, and to $2.3 to $2.5 billion, respectively.
Earlier today, I wrote about Citigroup's view of gold miners' stocks.

You are a monarch, like your parents before you, a ruler of a small pleasant kingdom of rivers and evergreens. Unlike your parents, however, you have hopes and dreams! You want a bigger and more pleasant kingdom, with more rivers and a wider variety of trees. You want a Dominion! In all directions lie fiefs, freeholds, and feodums. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner.
But wait! It must be something in the air; several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury. Your parents wouldn't be proud, but your grandparents, would be delighted.

Vogel's play "How I Learned to Drive" is a tale of child abuse and
the persistence of memory. In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, it won
several other awards including an Obie (her second), the Lortel Best
Play Award, the Best Off-Broadway Play from the Outer Critics Circle,
the Best Play from the Drama Desk and the Best Play from the New York
Drama Critics Circle. It has been produced around the world, and Vogel
currently is working on a screenplay for HBO.
Also the winner of a Guggenheim and several National Endowment for

"The Long Christmas Ride Home," "The Mineola Twins," "The Baltimore
Waltz," "Hot'N'Throbbing," "Desdemona," "And Baby Makes Seven" and "The
Oldest Profession." She currently is the Adele Kellenberg Seaver
Professor of Creative Writing at Brown University, where she directs
the MFA playwriting program.
The talk, designated as the Spencer Trask Lecture, is part of the University's Public Lecture Series.

A cabbage white butterfly nestled on the nose of Maria
Engst -- after nature educator Pam Newitt placed it there -- during a
nature walk at Prospect Gardens that was part of a summer program sponsored by Cotsen Children's Library. Engst's
3-year-old daughter, Grace, looked on with excitement.

Lessons in nature take wing with Cotsen butterfly program
Posted July 24, 2006; 03:16 p.m.
Five-year-old Manuel watched intently as Pam Newitt picked up a cabbage white butterfly and placed it on the tip of his mother's nose.
"If you have a sweaty nose and you put a butterfly on it, he'll sit there and drink," Newitt explained. The butterfly was still for several seconds. Manuel was mesmerized.
Manuel, his sister Grace and 15 other children joined Newitt last week at Prospect Gardens for a nature walk on the Princeton University campus, part of a program of summer events offered at the Cotsen Children's Library. Newitt, a nature educator, was teaching the children, who ranged in age from 3 to 5, where to spot butterflies.
"The campus is like a backyard, so whatever you find here you can find in your backyard," Newitt said. "Once kids start noticing that it's not just a butterfly, it's a butterfly on a flower, sharing it with an insect, they realize they're part of an ecosystem."
The children also spotted tiger swallowtail butterflies, a caterpillar and an inchworm amid the sunflowers, purple cone flowers and butterfly weeds at Prospect Gardens. Before their nature walk, they gathered around Newitt at Cotsen, which is located in Firestone Library, as she explained how butterflies grow from caterpillars and showed them drawings of several types of butterflies.
Newitt helped the children create their own butterflies by coloring coffee filters, which served as wings when a clothes pin was fastened to them. A pipe cleaner attached to the end of the clothes pin served as antennae.
Michael, who is 4, chose red, orange and black for the butterfly he made. Those were the colors of a butterfly he recently spotted. "It was at my school when I went outside," he said. He asked his mom if she had coffee filters at home, telling her he planned to teach his 6-year-old sister how to create a butterfly of her own when she came home from camp.
Maria Engst, Manuel's mom, has brought her children to several nature programs at Cotsen. "We love this library," she said. "[The children] talk about the programs for days afterward."
More information on summer programs at the Cotsen Children's Library is available online.

Remember that rumor that Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU) was in talks with Sohu.com (SOHU) to buy the internet browser Sogou?
It's a rumor no more.
The Wall Street Journal has the details:
Qihoo 360 Chief Financial Officer Alex Xu confirmed by phone that talks were ongoing but said they hadn't reached the stage where a price for Sogou had come up.
"The first thing we need to figure out is really whether this piece of asset can be integrated into our operations, if not then we can't do anything," he said.
The news comes following a spate of other deals in recent months. In April, Alibaba Group said that it had taken an 18% stake in Sina's (SINA) Weibo. On Tuesday, Baidu confirmed that it was spending $1.9 billion to buy 91 Wireless Websoft Ltd. from China's NetDragon Websoft Inc. (0777.HK).
Speaking of that deal, Maxim Group's Echo He is not impressed:
We believe BIDU's appreciation is driven by a hope that it may finally have a significant share of China's mobile internet entry…
…However, we are not certain that 91Wireless could provide a sustainably prominent mobile entry. First, the historical explosive growth of 91Wireless was driven by helping iOs devices jailbreak and download free apps. In May, iOs app usage accounted for ~20% of 91Wireless' number of launches and ~50% user time spent. Integrating 91Wireless, BIDU may either face legal issues or have to clean up the iOs business, potentially resulting in store usage decline. Second, 91Wireless is weaker in Android apps. Currently, Android devices dominate the China smart phone market (>70%), and Android compatible apps are increasingly important. 91Wireless lost its market leadership to QIHU because of slower growth in the Android app store. In addition, if Tencent (0700.HK) attaches its app store to WeChat, it will likely become the top app store operator in China, further squeezing 91Wireless.
He says Baidu is still a sell. Its shares have dropped 0.3% to $110.84 so far today, and 15% this week. Qihoo has gained 0.1% to $57.36, while Sina has edged up 0.1% to $65.16.
Investors didn't need an analyst to tell them to sell shares of Renren (RENN) today after the company issued disappointing forward guidance. MarketWatch reports:

The most important thing for fans to remember in rebuilding years is this - the stronger the foundation, the stronger the building. There's a reason why buildings are built from the ground-up. However, in building the foundation, we usually don't see it (it is underground) but it ensures a good, stable and sustainable building. So it's best to exercise patience. And currently, the Hornets have one of the best foundations in the LEAGUE (YES, I said it).
I'd bet my entire life savings that New Orleans will follow this timeline (with or without that pesky Gordon injury bug) sooner than later. Mark my words -- New Orleans will probably NOT compete for a playoff spot this year unless Gordon plays a significant amount of minutes. Even then, we'll be lucky to get into the playoffs. But 2 years from now? The sky is the limit.

San Francisco from Corona Heights ( Vignetting off ), No polarizer, End of day at 63 to 64 degrees fairenheight which results in "heat shimmer" for objects that are far away. Objects that are closer are not effected by heat shimmer at these temperatures as the light does not need to travel through as much atmosphere to the camera lens. Canon 5D Mark II, 500mm f4 and a 1.4x teleconverter for an effective focal length of 700mm. It would be better to capture this panorama earlier in the morning when temperatures and wind is lower. You can shoot a reference at the begining of each row or few rows for white balance and exposure, though the angle of the shadows would change. The stitching result is a very good start, but the ability to make manual adjustments numerically would allow me to get quality results without using another tool. If you did not want to add manual numeric adjustments of yaw, pitch, roll, and % contribution, you could output the alignment to panotools and two other stitchers could be used to make manual numeric adjustments, horizon correction ( leveling ), cropping, exposure, etc.

I usually use the row-down or row-up patterns instead of the column patterns because the settling time is less for yaw movements than pitch movements. I do use column patterns for side views of crowds and music concerts. Yes, I am using a Pro. You would never be able to use a Canon 500mm f4 and a teleconverter on something smaller.
This is a super shot. I like your idea about shooting a reference at each row (do you mean column)? Are you using the Epic Pro?

I just finished a homemade winger and I'm not sure I'm going to be completely happy with it.
Is there a way to use the 2-way radios to activate the release on the commercially made wingers? It would be alot easier to justify buying one if I could save the $310 for the remote.
Anyone tried it or know if it would work?

I am thankful I worked for such a pro because it has allowed me to train many dogs that would be washed out. So I guess I see it both ways. Their are some very great trainers that have washed alot of nice dogs because they did not fit saids program. Adapt and train.

Ineffective tying
How do you guys structure your fly-tying while preparing a bonefish trip?
I've been tying the last couple of evenings, but im very ineffective. I end up "playing" with different patterns, different colors, different size, different eyes, with and without sili-legs etc.
I have tied about 15 flies - only 2 of which are exactly the same.
I spend more time figuring out how to "twist" existing patterns than the actual tying.
Do you select a few patterns and creat X number of each in diffent sizes/weights?
Beside beeing very time consuming, above approach results in a very messy looking fly box
Please share your thoughts
Is the world flat?
longer, longer - drop the fly! strip, strip, stop! wait! strip-strike.... I SAID STRIP-STRIKE!
To illustrate my point:
Is the world flat?
longer, longer - drop the fly! strip, strip, stop! wait! strip-strike.... I SAID STRIP-STRIKE!
Ever since I was 14 (which was 40 years ago) and a 63 years old professional fly tyer named Leon Wronski who I met, got to know, and had mentor me, I have never tied fewer than 6 flies of one pattern and size at a time (the only exception to this is married wing classics). Leon constantly emphasized how important it was to maximize the time at the vise by tying flies in 1/2 dozen or full dozen lots of the same pattern and size. He said (and I agree completely with this) that tying a 1/2 dozen or full dozen of a single pattern and size of flies you use (or are tying for someone else), you will spend less time tying them, their quality will be very good, and you will always have a sufficient number of them for going fishing.
Since you've already found out Leon's other reason for insisting on tying 6-12 flies of the same pattern and size at a time, namely very little time wasted, you sound like someone looking for a better way to get your boxes filled in the time you have available for tying. Therefore, I humbly recommend that you tie at least 6 of a pattern and size you will be fishing before experimenting with changes. If you do so, you will be surprised at how quickly you get the flies you need tied. Then you will have a lot of time to mess around and experiment without worrying about having enough flies to fish with.
I forgot to mention that Leon also had a thing about getting the materials out on the tying table to tie the fly before putting the first hook in the vise. This little tidbit of having only the materials to tie one fly out and ready on the tying table before putting the first hook in the vise will save you a lot of time. If you do this, once you begin tying that fly pattern, there will be no wasted time looking for the next material because it will already by out on the table waiting for you to tie it on the fly. And finishing the 6-12 flies of that pattern, put the materials for it away and get out all the materials for the next pattern.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how many more flies you can tie in the same amount of time by doing these simple things.
Flytyer provides some sage advice on tying multiple flies of the same size and configuration. Laying out the material in advance is also a good technieque used by the profesiionals. One other advantage to tying 6-12 each of one pattern/size is that with quantity, the quality improves. My rule of thumb on new patterns is that it generally takes tying one fly six times to get a constant quality.
Consistency also is a function of paying attention to detail. As an example, when I get materials ready for a particular pattern, e.g. clousers, synthetic material length and quantity are identical for the batch being tied.
in my limited experience i have found that bonefish are a little like trout in that they tend to key in on a particular size and color due to water depth, light, and current. i tend to tie my flies in 3 weights so that i have a choice of fly depending on the water depth and current. i tie 5 or 6 flies in each pattern/weight. i also tie up some larger brighter flies for those days when wind, current and water turbulence make visibility (for the fish) an issue. those larger patterns i usually tie in 1 or 2 weights. likewise, for those days when the water is calm and shallow, the sun bright and the current slow, (and thus the fish spooky as hell) i tie smaller flies without weight so as to present softly without spooking the fish. in such conditions i want to have 3 different shades of fly depending on the color of the sand. i.e. bright and shiny, light tan, and light brown. i think that jims' and flytyers' advice on the actual tieing is spot on. if nothing else, follow their advice. it will make the whole fly tieing experience more enjoyable and productive.
The advice from Flytyer is very good.
I can understand where you are coming from. I have suffered from the same syndrome.
The problem only really becomes apparent when you start fishing.
You have a box full of different flies, which fly do you choose?
You find a fly that works and then you either lose it or a fish destroys it, what do you do now?
By all means tie variations but make sure that you have enough of each type.
Thanks a lot for all of your advices!
Its very encouraging to receive such input.
Im allready on my way to the vice, looking very forward to tie a bunch.
Im a little short on hooks, so the six-piece-at-a-time approach must be the way to go. I've decided to start with size 4 gotchas with clear/orange sili legs. I will let you know how I get away with it.
Since Im tieing at a small collapsible kitchen table (humble conditions - I know ) the point about lying the materials out ready in advance is even more reasonable. I will definately do that.
I have 6 weeks to take-off, means there is still time to tie a bunch. Further, I've decided to bring a vice and a selection of materials. I'll be on the road for almost 3 months so I guess I'll eventually run short on flies regardless how many I tie in advance. My goal must be to fill the box with a good selection of basic patterns (which leaves gotchas with sili legs as basic pattern ). I will have plenty of time to experience "out there" and adjust the flies to "local conditions"
Thanks again!
Is the world flat?
longer, longer - drop the fly! strip, strip, stop! wait! strip-strike.... I SAID STRIP-STRIKE!
Ok - Im rolling now
First, make a mess:
Then clean it up and organize:
Decide a specific pattern:
Tie at least half a dozen at same configuration
Is the world flat?
longer, longer - drop the fly! strip, strip, stop! wait! strip-strike.... I SAID STRIP-STRIKE!
This is exactly what myself and others were talking about. And if you know you are going to need several dozen of each fly and size, you can go about tying them in batches of 12 per tying sessions. You will be amazed at how quickly you will have all the flies you need, and your tying area will stay neat as well.
I got your point and I agree, thanks!
Well, I might need to several dozen of the above "killer" in size 6
I think the bones will go crazy on it...
Is the world flat?
longer, longer - drop the fly! strip, strip, stop! wait! strip-strike.... I SAID STRIP-STRIKE!
Tying up a dozen or half dozen of one patern is also a lot more economical material wise as well, and like everyone is saying the quality and consistancy improves quickly as well, if I ever try to flip around on paterns I usually end up in a hell of a mess !
Ps your flies look good to me
Thanks Trev
I've made quite some ugly mutants as well. I'll bring them thou they will probably never be used...
However Im very satisfied with the Sili-Gotcha. I cant wait to throw it at them
Is the world flat?
longer, longer - drop the fly! strip, strip, stop! wait! strip-strike.... I SAID STRIP-STRIKE!
Killer stuff
I had kind of the same experience as you did in that one of my mentors is an exceptional tyer and did so professionally at one time. He told me that he didn't feel like he knew a fly until he had tied a "dozen-dozen". A.K. Best has a similar quote in one his books. I'll tie a dozen when doing trout flies, but when I tie bonefish flies, I stick with half a dozen. Most trips I've been on, I rarely lose flies and they are so bombproof (I zap a gap everything in sight) that I rarely will use more than 3-4 of one pattern. I love to tie and will inevitably hand out flies to anyone who wants some, which means I get to tie more. Good stuff.
One other invaluable tip he told me was to never let a "throwaway" fly in your box. You boys know what I'm talking about. Especially when tying a new pattern, there's those inevitable ties where the wing is a little too long, or the body is too stout, or the hackle is too small. I used to put those in my box thinking that in a pinch, I would use them. I never, ever do and will usually look for a different pattern. If I tie a bug that is not up to snuff, I will put it in a separate container and palm it off on one of my fishing buddies rather than let it take up valuable space in my box.
I'm fortunate in that I have a room for tying and abundant tying time. I used to lay stuff out, but I realized that I have about 3,000 flies in my vest and gear bags, and I am really in no hurry and can take my time. I really enjoy messing around with different stuff and trying different variations of a fly. I rarely will tie a steelhead pattern the same, and will mix something up on most ties. Have fun on your trip.

Geordie, thanks for sharing.
Your tieing "conditions" is a privilege I hope I will have someday
Good point with the throwaway fly...
Is the world flat?

A lot of great input already but I wanted to chime in as well.
IMHO there is very little difference between 90% of the flies in the bonefishing universe. Pretty much all small and tan, right? Based on that assumption I've come up with a very effective way of maximizing the flies in my box. There are four main differences in my flies:
1. Size
2. Weight
3. Flash
4. Attractors (legs, eyes, etc)
I agree that you want to tie up at least 6 at a time. I usually pick three sizes (4, 6 & 8). Then I tie them in three different weights (weight and size are, to me, the two most important variables). That's a total of 56 flies for all types of water.
Here is what I do that is a little bit different. I tie all these flies the same, including flash, eyes, and legs. I include EVERYTHING on the pattern. By having everything already on the fly, it only takes a small pair of scissors to adjust to current conditions and fish preference. Fish spooked because of the flash, take out the scissors and with a couple of snips the fly is muted and flashless.
I used to have the exact same problem you outlined at the beginning of this thread and this solved it. Let's face it, Bonefish are incredible pound for pound fighters, but are typically not the most selective fish in the world (I know some people will argue this, but as a gerenal rule....). As long as you know the basic patterns used on a given Island, this approach works.
Hope that helps

Discovered in Mexico in the 16th century by the Spanish conquistadores, who named them after the blood-sucking creatures of eastern European legend, vampire bats feed entirely upon blood and occur only in the New World. One is a tiny brown furry creature called the Hairy-legged Vampire Bat.
Sleeping by day in caves or other dark, protected places, Hairy-legged Vampire Bats feed at night, chiefly on the blood of birds, such as chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, ducks, and geese. The bat uses its sharp upper incisors to quickly inflict a wound so shallow that the victim rarely notices. Curling the tongue into a tube that fits a V-shaped notch in its lower lip, the feeding bat sips the blood, which flows freely due to an anticoagulant in its saliva. Unless the victim is very small, the amount of blood taken by the bat is not harmful. These large-eyed bats, which live from central Mexico south into South America, rarely feed on mammals.

Truth Serum May be Used in Colorado Theater Shooting Case
Tiffany Kaiser
March 13, 2013 11:25 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The decision to use it has been very controversial
A Colorado judge will allow prosecutors to interrogate theater gunman James Holmes using truth serum if he pleads not guilty by reason of insanity.
Holmes is the suspected gunman involved in the movie theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado last July. Holmes has been charged with multiple counts of murder for
the open shooting
, which killed 12 people and injured another 58.
Colorado Judge William Sylvester ruled that prosecutors have the choice to use truth serum on Holmes in a "narcoanalytic interview" to determine whether or not he was legally insane during the July 20 shooting last year. But this is only if Holmes pleads not guilty by reason of insanity.
A plea of not guilty had been entered for Holmes yesterday after his lawyer said that the defendant was not ready to enter his own plea. Holmes can later change it.
Legal experts have questioned Judge Sylvester's ruling, saying that taking away the fifth amendment rights of the defendant because of an authorization to use truth serum drugs will raise a lot of fifth amendment-related issues.
Also, a jury may object to the court forcing truth serum upon the defendant.
Medical experts have weighed in as well, saying that the defendant still has the ability to lie while using truth serum. They also said that truth serum would be effective at determining Holmes' current state of mind, but a short-acting barbiturate like truth serum would not indicate his state of mind during last year's shooting. It will only loosen him up to talk about it.
"First of all, people can still lie under the influence of amytal," said Dr. August Piper, a psychiatrist from Seattle. "More importantly, the person under the influence of the drug is susceptible to outside suggestion. To try and do this would be unlikely to yield useful information, and could pervert the course of justice by rendering the defendant susceptible to pressure."
It's unclear exactly which drug will be used, but experts predict short-acting sodium amytal.
