I've been back for awhile now and as with most trips you don't do most of the things you put on your list. The day we planned to go to the races at St. Cloud it rained all day so scratch that for another time. The highlight of this trip was our Sunday afternoon/evening spent at La Chope des Puces out at Clingnancourt. We've been a few times before but this time we had so much fun.
We go to listen to Ninine Garcia, a great and well known guitarist of gypsy jazz and modern jazz as well. This time we stood as usual at the bar near the front to see and hear the music. My husband surprised me and asked if Ninine would allow us to take his picture with us. He was very nice and accomodated us. And then the fun began, the music was great the people standing around were friendly and after a few beers adopted us and started buying us beers and in broken english and our broken french we established that they were gypsies with the real gypsy heart and that "fun and friends were everything in life". At that point we wholeheartedly agreed and began with the group selfies that one can only take after several beers. With friendly au revoirs all around we left the bar and managed to make it back to the metro and safely back to our apartment in the marais with a great memory of Paris. I don't know if I can top this one.
We stayed at an apartment that we had stayed in before on rue d'ormesson diagonal to Place du Marche Ste. Catherine. We rented from vacationinparis.com which allows you the convenience of receiving the key at home before you travel. It's a very comfortable apartment in a great location in the 4th.
The weather was typical Paris March weather; one day cold and damp, the next sunny and beautiful. My husband developed a fairly bad cold during the course of the trip, which did mean more hanging out at the apartment, but only when it was really cold and rainy. We didn't eat out as often, but we also don't do much of that. We tend to buy cheese, wine, a baguette and some pate to munch on. On our first day there, a Saturday we stocked up for the apartment and then sat out front at "La Tartine" on rue de rivoli and enjoyed a charcuterie and fromage platter and an icy cold beer. It was so nice to just sit back, relax and people watch. We did notice that all of the women, except for me, sat with their backs to the street and the men the opposite looking out over the sidewalk, as did I.
I had three photo exhibits that I wanted to see and got to two, which was fine. The first being "Paris Magnum" at the Hotel de Ville. It was ok but didn't compare to the small but really cleverly presented exhibit at the CROUS Cultural Center on the left bank. It was the last day and the entry was 1 euro. The title, "Deja Stars" the photographer, Marcel Thomas, considered to the the first french paparazzi, an amateur. Glad we didn't miss it.
I always try to bring back something interesting for family. This trip I wanted to get an apron from Dehillerin, the kitchen supply store, for my daughter and while there picked up two small Eiffel Tower cookie cutters; one for me one for my granddaughter. I already used mine and iced the cookies in the colors of the French flag. I was impressed with them.
While in that area which is over by St. Eustache we stopped in to listen to an organ audition that had been announced and was open to the public. It was actually interesting. You were told that you couldn't make a single sound and of course all cell phones off. You sat facing a draped off area and the different organists auditioning to be the official St. Eustache organist were being judged in a "blind" fashion. Meaning of course that the judges didn't know who they were listening to and scoring. We left after about 20 minutes, but the following day I read that they had a tie and chose two organists to share the post. The retiring organist had held that position for 52 years, so it was a big thing for the church and organ fans, of which there were many in attendance.
Every morning we had our petit dejeuner at Au Bouquet de St. Paul on rue Ste. Antoine. Friendly service and good coffee. At breakfast I go for a grand creme and my husband a double espresso. They brought you a tartine and a croissant as well as fresh squeezed OJ. If staying in that neighborhood I would recommend it.
We did a lot of walking just all over the place. I finally got up to the street in Belleville of graffiti, Rue Dénoyez. It was fun to look at but I think I prefer the "found" piece of graffiti art that feels like a discovery. I take their photos and add them to my collection. I especially love to spot "M. Chat". I found three new ones this trip to add to the ones I found on my trip to Lisbon.
I traipsed in and out of souvenir and gift shops to find items with the girl's name Elodie or Eva on them. My granddaughter's names which are not on anything in the U.S. I always find something new and different on each trip. They get a kick out of it.
Favorite neighborhood patisserie this trip, Miss Manon on rue Ste. Antoine. We've been there on other Paris trips. It kind of depends on where we are staying to purchase the eclair or macaron. One of my favorite places Andre Cleret in the 1st is no longer there! They had the nicest pastries and sandwiches. The owners were also very nice and old school seeming. Now it's some modern looking place and kind of reminded me of a Panera, but smaller. Too bad, but everything changes.
So, it was basically a trip to relax and wander and listen to music and drink wine and eat cheese and drink beer and eat charcuterie plates. It was way too short, 5 nights and a cold got in the way. That sounds like a good excuse to plan another trip. This time I'd like to go in the early fall. I love the weather then, it's milder and the trees still have some foliage. Hopefully, we'll be back.

great pics opaldog - thanks for posting them and your all too short report.
that evening in the jazz club sounds wonderful - the sort of unplanned event that memories are made of.

I was so struck by your photo of "Duluc Detective" - I assume you know the Cara Black mystery series set in Paris?
Will never forget my own pleasure in looking up and seeing it!

Thanks for doing a TR, opaldog. You went to such interesting places. And what fun to get adopted by locals. A priceless experience for sure. Having the key ahead of time sounds great. Thanks for the link for the apartment.
BTW, how does one get to the St. Cloud races? DH and I couldn't find the right bus as everyone sent us in different directions.
Loved your photos!
ps-on your 14th trip, try to see if Petit Verdot is still open on Rue du Cherche Midi!

Thanks for posting about Ninine Garcia and an appreciatiion of an historic culture that has flourished in Paris, not much understood normally or appreciated on Fodor's, and very often the subject of ignorance and bigotry.
Ninine's fingers really fly, and the music just flows right out of him. Thought you (and others) might like to see this 1990 video of him playing with his legendary dad, Mondine, in La Chope des Puces.

Appreciate all of your replies.
TDudette: I wasn't really sure how we were going to get to St. Cloud. It wasn't really complicated, just not as easy as the other racecourses we've been to.
29Feb: I actually have two of the Cara Black mysteries, but haven't read them. Is Duluc Detective mentioned in them?
annhig: thanks, Chopes de Puces and the people we met will be tough to beat for great experiences.
sandralist: We love Ninine Garcia. He was so friendly and personable and seemed to appreciate our admiration of his music. I didn't post my picture of him with me or our other selfie with our new "friends", but he was more than gracious about it all. The video of him with his father is great. I have seen others similar. We never did get to see Mondine play as the first time we went to Chopes des Puces he had recently passed away.

Opaldog, re Duluc/Leduc:
In your stories, Leduc Detectives are based in the Rue du Louvre. This however is also the address of perhaps the most famous real-life agency in the city, the similarly named Deluc Détective. Can you explain the links between the two and how you came to use this name and address?
Leduc Detective is indeed based on the Duluc Detective agency. It happened one day years ago when I was at the bus stop on Rue du Louvre. Across from me on the street was the wonderful neon thirties sign of Duluc and I'd been interviewing female detectives in Paris and thought why not this agency? I crossed the street, met Madame Duluc who inherited this agency from her father who himself had inherited it from his grandfather who'd started in the Suréte. She was very gracious and told me the history, the cases they work on and much more. I used the agency as a template for Leduc Detective; Aimée had a grandfather who'd started the agency and went from there. But when the publisher suggested we use another name for legal reasons I agreed.

Great report>I love Bouquet St Paul too. We rent a VIP apt. right across the street. When we are to worn out to go far they do a good dinner menu. And have Berthillon ice cream!!

29FEB: Thanks for that explanation of Duluc Detective. I just loved the sign. Next visit I will go back at night when it is lit up for another photo. We were walking up Rue du Louvre toward Dehillerin for my aprons when I spotted the sign.
Avalon2: Thanks. Au Bouquet de St. Paul was a very welcoming spot every morning. They were friendly from the start. After the first morning we were greeted as regulars. We will have to try them for dinner. I did read the menu board offerings for the day while I sipped on my café creme.

Seamus: I do know that feeling! I already would like to go back, we didn't stay long enough. When I plan a trip to Europe it always comes back to should we go to Paris or someplace new. I try to pair Paris up with other cities just so I can get my Paris fix.

I'm jumping back on to this report of mine from April as I am very lucky to be able to go back to Paris in two weeks. Even more fortunate we will be going to the Prix de arc de triomphe at Longchamps for the second time. We were there two years ago for what was the biggest party I have ever attended! The experience was made even more fun and exciting by my winning the arc with the beautiful filly, Trevé. Now Trevé is going for her third Arc win and I am sure that the place will be packed for what could be this historic event.
My other goal while there is to walk the length of the promenade plantee (which isn't really far)to the Bois de Vincennes and the chateau and picnic and explore. I'm hoping for nice weather. Besides that it's listening to music; jazz manouche in particular and just enjoying being in the beautiful city of Paris. For those who are interested I will most likely post a brief follow-up report.

One more thing, I love to photograph findings of "MChat" where ever I can find him in Paris. If anyone has spotted him on any buildings or wherever, let me know in case I haven't found that one yet. Thanks.

Why did Chesapeake's 3Q13 spending come in under budget?
Third quarter spending came in under budget
Chesapeake management noted that spending on drilling and completing wells was ~$1.25 billion in 3Q13—about $180 million less than budgeted, and $350 million down from 2Q13. Also, CHK's spending on new leasehold (which represents the money it spends to acquire rights to land for future drilling) was ~$45 million in 3Q13, or ~$50 million under budget.
Interested in CHK? Don't miss the next report.
Receive e-mail alerts for new research on CHK
Why Chesapeake spent less than expected
Management noted that this was partially due to fewer wells drilled and completed during the period. However, production guidance was not lowered, despite the lower spend. Plus, management stated that CHK is beginning to experience capital efficiencies and lower average well costs due to improved operating performance.
Progress in Eagle Ford is a major driver of efficiencies
Specifically, management cited activity in the Eagle Ford play in South Texas, where it's shifting activity from single-well pads towards multi-well pads. Multi-well pads allow companies to drill more than one well from a single location, which is generally more cost-effective, as only one site has to be prepared for drilling, with the production benefit of multiple wells.
Chesapeake stated that in 1H13, ~65% of its Eagle Ford wells were on single-well patches. The figure hit 40% in 3Q13 and it's expected to decline to 25% in 4Q13 and 15% or lower next year. This signals a continued ability to realize operational efficiencies into the future.
The company commented on its 3Q13 earnings call that it has lowered guidance for 2013 capital expenditures, which we'll discuss in the next part of this series.

Published on: 2015-02-10
A panel of experts, including Prof. Albert Park, Director of HKUST IEMS, were interviewed in a article published on the South China Morning Post (SCMP) on February 10, 2015 for their views on China's recent efforts to create a more balanced economy.
"China has always been protective of what it labels as strategic centres [energy, telecommunications, utilities and finance] in the past", says Albert Park, director of the Hong Kong University for Science and Technology, for emerging market studies…
Reform has come in other ways, as well. "[Premier] Li Keqiang and others are pushing administrative reforms, making it easier to register and to do things without too much red tape," Park notes. "People feel significant changes are occurring." …
Not every company and industry will take advantage of these changes equally. "It's tough these days for Hong Kong firms built on a labour-intensive model, they may just go away or move on to other countries," Park observes.
Analysts expect the most successful elements of these experiments will become national. "That's the China model, to experiment in areas and if it works, expand it," Park notes. "To some extent, the administrative reforms going on everywhere are an extension of what is happening in Shanghai, though not to the same degree." …
Park suggests that changes in fields that open up to private domestic and foreign firms come quickly when new entrants emerge. If China "wants to open up those sectors, people will come, they know what to do if they are allowed in". …
The other experts interviewed in the article include Daniel Rosen, co-founder of Rhodium Group, a New York-based research partnership and a 20-year China economic analyst; Julian Evans-Pritchard, China economist at Capital Economics; and Maria Kotova, a senior associate in the international business advisory department at Dezan Shira and Associates, a specialist foreign direct investment practice.
Read the full article here: China's economic reforms will give a boost to the private sector.

Resident Evil 6 (RE 6): How to Counter
One of the new features that I'm liking in Resident Evil 6 is the counter.
You can't counter any enemy, just primarily normal zombies, but it is a nice way to conserve ammo like melee attacks in general. It does take a bit of timing, but with a little practice you'll be able to counter just about every time.
How to Perform a Counter
To perform a counter, you need to wait for a zombie to attempt a melee attack on you. You'll see an action button flash on the screen right before the hit lands, which will be RT on the Xbox 360, or R1 on the PS3.
You have a fairly small window to hit the button, so instead of trying to look for the button to flash up on the screen, watch for the melee swing instead. I had a lot more luck doing it this way than watching for the action button.
The type of counter you perform depends on the type of attack it is against. Most counters on single player will either be a kill shot, or they will knock the opponent to the ground. If it just knocks them to the ground, run up and perform a melee attack at their head while they're on the ground to finish them off.

There are some excellent bike shops in Portugal but – particularly in smaller towns – they leave something to be desired. Bigger towns might have a decent shop but elsewhere you can be hard-pressed to find much of a range of bike parts and spares.
If you need anything specialised – for examples tyres other than basic Michelin models – you'd be best advised to bring spares with you.
Many bigger towns have a branch of SportZone, which is fine for basics like spare inners and cycle clothing. Decathlon has bigger stores – mostly on out-of-town sites – and similar ranges.
If you're in Portugal for any length of time and urgently need a new part for your bike, online UK companies like Chain Reaction and Wiggle will deliver to Portugal. It only takes a few days to get kit sent out – and you may well get a better price than buying in Portugal anyway.
I have begun to develop a listing for Bike Shops & Mechanics in Portugal – mostly those recommended by other cyclists. However, this is still at an early stage (February 2014).
If any riders have discovered a good bike shop or mechanic in Portugal, please share the information and post recommendations below. Thanks.

Andover, Massachusetts (PressExposure) March 11, 2011 -- California Paints is proud to release an authentic and documented historic color program which includes their new and exclusive 20th CenturyTM Colors of America color palette. The quality manufacturer of paints, zero VOC coatings, and exterior stains has partnered with Historic New England to introduce the most authentic historic color collection ever created. Historic New England preservationists have partnered with the colorists at California Paints to provide historically accurate documentation for each color in the new palette. California Paints' historic color program truly represents authenticity in interior, exterior, and decorative color.
Historic New England is the oldest, largest, and most comprehensive regional heritage organization in the nation. They bring history to life while preserving the past for those interested in exploring the authentic New England experience from the seventeenth century to today. Historic New England has provided California Paints with supporting color documentation, including the use of color at the thirty-six historic home museums they operate. Historic New England Preservation Specialist Sally Zimmerman states, "In creating this palette, Historic New England has drawn solely from highly relevant architectural paint sources. Our twentieth century museum properties and our archives of twentieth-century paint and wallpaper documentation were the basis for pinpointing the actual use of these colors in the twentieth-century home."
California Paints' 20th Century Colors of America features 130 colors, including twelve off whites, and captures the vibrant tones and subtle shades of the past. Each color of the palette has its own unique and distinctive biography and includes the cultural themes that influenced its emergence in the nation's collective color history. All biographies can be read at California Paints' website, http://www.californiapaints.com.
"The 20th century palette is a road map to recreating the past through design", says Maryellen Mantyla, Director of Marketing for California Products Corporation. "Anyone looking to replicate an authentic interior or exterior color palette referencing the architectural styles of the twentieth century can do so with ease using this collection" adds Mantyla.
California Paints ensures that each historic color is accurately replicated through premium color quality and precise color reproduction. Merging authentic historic color with California Paints' color technology allows colors from any era to be translated for present day use. The entire collection showcases 279 accurately reproduced historic colors and features the new 20th Century Colors of America and California Paints' successful Historic Colors of America. California Paints' complete historic color collection can be found at participating independent dealers.

After leading the WHL in goals with 61 in 65 games Anaheim Ducks prospect Emerson Etem is leading the WHL playoffs with 6 goals, and 10 points. He has been big reason for the Medicine Hat Tigers leading the series 3-0 over the Saskatoon Blades. Etem had a goal, and an assist in the Tigers game 1 5-2 win. Then he came back with an even bigger game in game 2 getting 2 goals, and 3 assists in the Tigers 5-3 win. Then to top that off Etem gets all 3 of the Tigers goals in a 3-2 over time victory. The Tigers play again tonight in Saskatoon, and if they win they advance to the next round in the WHL playoffs and will likely play the Brandon Wheat Kings who finished the regular season in 6th place and have a 3-1 edge in their series against the Calgary Hitmen who finished their regular season in 3rd.
It was thought that if Emerson Etem was out of the playoffs that he could finish the season with the Ducks, but that is now looking highly unlikely as it looks like his Tigers are planning on making a deep run in the playoffs. Etem should however get a long look at training camp next season, and although he has a shot to make the NHL club, he will likely go the route of Kyle Palmieri, and start his pro career playing in the AHL.
Another Duck prospect who is having a huge impact on his junior teams playoffs is John Gibson. Gibson and his Kitchener Rangers are winning their series against the Owen Sound Attack 3-0. Gibson leads the league with a .957 save percentage, and is third in goals against average with a 1.67. Kitchener can also finish their series with a win tonight in game 4. If they advance they play the winner of the Sarnia Sting, and the Saginaw Spirit. I normally do not have much of a rooting interest when a junior team does not have a Duck prospect, but I would love to see Sarnia win this one, so we can see how Gibson does against 2 of the top offensive players in this years draft in Nail Yakupov, and Alex Galchenyuk, both who play for Sarnia. That series is a close one as Sarnia leads the series 2-1.
Gibson is the Ducks top goalie prospect, and probably their best goalie prospect since Ilja Bryzgalov. It is of my assumption that Gibson will return for one more year of juniors next season, before turning pro the following season.

Moonwalkers Trailer (2015)
"Based on a true conspiracy theory." 14 March 2015 Comedy 107 mins
What if Apollo 11 never actually made it? What if, in reality, Stanley Kubrick secretly shot the famous images of the moon landing in a studio, working for the US administration? This is the premise of a totally plausible conspiracy theory that takes us to swinging sixties London, where a stubborn CIA agent will never find Kubrick but is forced to team up with a lousy manager of a seedy rock band to develop the biggest con of all time.

Last week, Dalton Maag launched a new website allowing users to download full versions of its font families for pitches and non-commercial projects free of charge. It's a bold move, but is it good for business, and are other foundries likely to follow suit?
Last week, Dalton Maag launched a new website allowing users to download full versions of its font families for pitches and non-commercial projects free of charge. It's a bold move, but is it good for business, and are other foundries likely to follow suit?
When Dalton Maag launched a new website designed by London studio Method, it wasn't just the visuals that got everyone talking. The site features a great new layout as well as simplified licensing options – but the most notable addition was the option to download its fonts for trial use free of charge.
This concept in itself is nothing new – font libraries have been offering trial downloads to users for years – but usually only a single weight, with an A-Z and a few numerals. On Dalton Maag's new site, users can download full font families.
When we asked Bruno Maag and Tomi Lahdesmaki (a designer at Method, who worked on the project), the pair said they hoped it would encourage designers to use the foundry's fonts at pitch stage and help justify bespoke and quality typefaces to clients. But it was also a response to the fact that nowadays, if a designer wants to use a typeface without paying for it, they can do so regardless of whether or not a library allows them to download it for free.
"The reality of the graphic design world is that fonts are distributed amongst designers for free. When a designer begins work on a specific project they often end up emailing all their buddies to track down a copy of a specific font so that they can play with it. If they like it and end up using it, then the designer will most likely suggest their client purchase the font. This is a reality that Dalton Maag embraced with the idea of releasing trial copies for all their fonts for free," Lahdesmaki told CR.
For creatives keen to persuade their clients to buy a Dalton Maag font, this is great news. It's also a handy resources for students, and a clever way to attract designers who, reluctant to spend money at pitch stage, would usually work with existing fonts in their library, inexpensive ones, or the single weight trials offered by competitor sites. In a way, it's simply undercutting the competition to make Dalton Maag's fonts more accessible in the early stages of a project.
But while it's possible to download almost any font for free without the right tools, and while it's a great marketing move from Dalton Maag, Alex Haigh, founder of Hype for Type, believes there is a danger that these kind of trial features could encourage file sharing and lead to complex legal disputes.
"If a company has a small collection of fonts and its end users are brands and agencies whose clients might end up paying five figures plus for one, then this would be a great way of getting products into agencies' hands at the pitch stage – but it could potentially encourage piracy," he says.
"There's no way to really police whether people end up using the font in a commercial project without paying – you could put in any old email address to register – and I'd be concerned that students and young designers could get themselves into real trouble if they download, and go on to use it, without reading the terms and conditions fully," he adds.
"On top of that, I'd be worried as a foundry, that if people did start widely downloading the font and using it in personal projects, pitches and small commercial ones without permission, that it could, in a way, cheapen the fonts, as they'd be popping up everywhere," he adds.
As Maag pointed out to CR, however, designers are used to dealing with resources that are rights protected, from music to photography, and most designers, however inexperienced, are aware of the issues surrounding basic rights usage.
Before downloading a trial font from Dalton Maag's website, users are also required to agree to the terms and conditions set out in a 19-clause document, which expressly states that licensees "may use the Trial Font Software to create any number of documents, designs, presentations, or other such works for academic, speculative, or pitching purposes only. The sale, duplication, publication, distribution, broadcast, performance, or non-academic exhibition of any work created using the Trial Font Software shall be a breach of this Licence Agreement."
The document goes on to say that 'The Trial Licence Agreement shall automatically terminate upon failure by the Licensee (or any authorized person or member of the Licensee's immediate household to whom the Licensee has given permission to Use the Trial Font Software) to comply with its terms," and that "The termination of the Trial Licence Agreement shall not preclude Dalton Maag from suing the Licensee for damages of any breach of the Trial Licence Agreement' and 'The Trial Licence Agreement may be enforced by Dalton Maag or by an authorized [sic] dealer acting on behalf of Dalton Maag.'
Users who download its fonts are made expressly aware that there could be legal consequences for improper use, although Haigh is right to point out that, as with any resource made freely available on the web, it's impossible to really police how it's used around the world – particularly in smaller projects abroad.
In an age where people are used to being able to stream or download just about anything they choose, perhaps this is just something all companies that offer creative resources will have to accept. It's certainly something image libraries have had to respond to – in March, Getty Images launched a free image embed service, allowing users to embed its photographs on their website for editorial use with no watermark, just a link back to Getty and a credit for the image and its photographer.
Jason Smith, founder of Fontsmith, says: I guess [whether other font foundries are likely to adopt this model] ultimately comes down to the value that you place on a typeface and your perception of 'free trial' as a concept," he says. "It's similar to photographers allowing agencies to use existing images for free, as long as they go back and get the high res images later for the actual campaign, [but] It's a little trickier to have 'high res' versions of a font."
Fontsmith's FS Emeric and 10 years in type microsites, also demonstrating a creative approach to showcasing type
For smaller foundries, this kind of model is a risky one. Jonathan Hill, founder of The Northern Block, says his site offers single-weight fonts under a freeware license, for use in commercial and non-commercial versions, which in turn encourage customers to return and purchase commercial licenses for the full families.
"Our policy has less risk than trial versions, but also encourages the customer to return and purchase commercial licenses. I would say if The Northern Block offered the entire font library as a trail version then the revenues would be reduced and would potentially be at a higher risk of font piracy and illegal distribution," he explains.
Hill adds that The Northern Block's business is largely based on royalties received from internet sales direct from its website, as well as distributors such as Monotype and MyFonts. "This simple business model whereby each party shares in the risk of the investment is used by a majority of individual type designers and small type foundries. I would say if Monotype or MyFonts decided to offer free trial versions of fonts … then the majority of type designers including The Northern Block could potentially go out of business," he says.
When we spoke to Maag, he admitted Dalton Maag's new trial model isn't for everyone, and it's unlikely to be adopted by websites selling work by other foundries, but when a well-known company offers this kind of service, there is undoubtedly pressure on smaller foundries to respond. Other large font libraries, too, are increasingly looking to make it simpler to browse for and buy fonts online.
In the past few months, several leading font libraries have radically reinvented their licensing model. Hoelfer & Co launched its 'cloud' service for web type last year, Dalton Maag introduced fixed price annual licenses for web and app fonts with no limits on users or page views with its site launch and this week, Monotype revealed its new service, Membership by Monotype.
The membership service allows paying users access to unlimited use of over 14,000 typefaces for a monthly subscription fee (between $500 and $2,137 a month, dependant on the number of users). Subscribers are given access to Monotype fonts, which are "cleared for use across any medium" (print, web or apps), and its Typecast design tool, which allows them to prototype and test font rendering.
The basic package still only covers up to 25,000 page views, but this can be extended to 2.5 million, says Monotype, and as soon as you click the font family you want to experiment with, it is immediately available to use in your drawing tool, "offering unlimited experimentation and clean-cut licensing."
A spokesperson for the company told CR the new service was launched in response to growing demands from customers for a simpler service, particularly when buying fonts for use across multiple platforms and devices. "Customers' needs have changed pretty dramatically over the past several years. For instance, a few years ago, a creative team for a major brand may have been tasked with designing packaging, print, and perhaps a web page to launch a new product. Now, they are being asked to create content that spans across print, multiple digital screens (with a variety of resolutions and sizes), in-store experiences, and apps.
Monotype's new membership service, which offers access to 14,000 fonts for a monthly subscription fee
"That can radically change the design process. A particular typeface may look stunning in your drawing tool, but does not translate well into a digital environment. That creates a problem with brand consistency. It is crucial that customers have the ability to try different fonts as they are doing the prep work for a project to see how that looks across different mediums. They also can't be bogged down trying to track down which rights they have for which font."
Unlike Dalton Maag, Monotype only offers access to free fonts for the duration of subscriptions, and those using a 30-day free trial have access to fonts for only 30 minutes, but it does also offer a simpler, more flexible licensing model and the ability to endlessly experiment with its font library (provided you pay the necessary monthly fee). As Monotype told CR, there is a real push across the industry to create more transparent pricing and 'try before you buy' models.
Commercial Type's new showcase site (above and below)
Aesthetically too, there has been a major shift in the way font foundries present their products online, reflecting a growing demand from consumers for libraries that aren't just functional but visually engaging. Method says this was a clear finding in its audience research when planning a new website for Dalton Maag, as was the need for responsive sites that work on any device. Dalton Maag's site now features a bold and simple layout, with fonts presented alongside original photography and illustration to reflect their 'character', while case studies offer an insight into the development of each font.
Commercial Type also launched a new 'web showcase' last week; made up of 16 microsites featuring interactive tools which demonstrate fonts in context, and showcase their personalities. There's a digital therapist asking questions about how you're feeling in graphik, as well as poetry, headline and poster generators. As well as adding a little humour and interaction to the browsing process, it's a lovely way to showcase Commercial's products.
When it comes to trials and licensing, Dalton Maag's website is certainly more radical than most. For now, it's unlikely that other font libraries will be adopting quite the same approach to its trial features but what the new site, and new releases by Commercial and Monotype show, is a wider change going on across the industry. Buying and looking for fonts has, in the past, been a complex process, but it seems foundries are finally responding to the changing needs of creatives – embracing ways to showcase type in a lively and visually appealing way, and adapting their prices to reflect the increasingly multi-platform nature of creative campaigns.

Not sure where to post this, so Mods please move if you feel appropriate.Fathers bless,I have a question for those who have been ordained to the deaconate and to the priesthood.After your ordination did you feel "different?" I was just wondering if you felt the laying of hands and the ordination had a differance in who you were or how you saw things. I've been told by one priest's wife that prior to ordination, her husband couldn't carry a tune, but after ordination, could chant perfectly. I was just wondering if you saw or felt a differance in anything in life after ordination?Since this is obviously something most of us will never experience, I was interested in hearing about yours.

With both volatility and asset correlations near all time lows…
… and complacency dominating across all global markets, one BlackRock money manager warns that investors should probably be a little more nervous.
Even as the recent stock surge and below-average volatility show investor optimism is near all time highs, markets are underpricing global political risks, said Russ Koesterich, who helps manage the $41 billion BlackRock Global Allocation Fund.
Why is Koesterich worried? The price of gold, which has failed to validate the prevailing calm, in fact just the contrary.

Decent selection of PA beers not commonly found in NY - lots of "rare" Victory, Troegs, Fegley's. The clerks are just supermarket girls, they can't really answer questions, but very friendly none the less.. Its a small space but packed with some good local beers, and many standards. I like the make your own six pack for $10, but check the "best by" dates. Also avoid dusty bottles, and bottles with the labels peeling off, you will undoubtedly find a few here. Prices are pretty good. Lots of variety 12 packs, as well. It's a nice and well needed addition to the Bushkill area.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The sight of the star on the helmet is enough to energize Giants Coach Tom Coughlin as he prepares for Sunday's game at Dallas.
On Wednesday, Coughlin sounded as if he were rallying his players, rather than meeting with reporters, when he opened his remarks before practice by saying, "Dallas Cowboys, in the division, let's go!"
For his Giants, sitting atop the N.F.C. East at 5-2, motivation runs deeper than the Cowboys' famed logo. They remember the words of Jerry Jones, the Dallas owner, who used coarse language on the eve of training camp to urge fans to go to Cowboys Stadium to watch his team beat the Giants this season. And they still recall the feeling they had on Sept. 5, when the Cowboys made them the first defending Super Bowl champions in 13 years to lose their opener, a 24-17 home game.
Defensive end Justin Tuck, one of the Giants' captains, said he would not respond to Jones's comment until after the rematch. He quickly added about Sunday's game: "I know he won't have much to do with it. I'm not playing Jerry Jones."
Cornerback Prince Amukamara said: "It doesn't take something like that to get us fired up. We know it's a big game. We know what's at stake."Continue reading the main story
The Giants spoiled the opening of the N.F.L.'s largest stadium by edging Dallas, 33-31, at Cowboys Stadium on Sept. 20, 2009. The Giants have won their first three games there, by a combined 11 points. That history makes Tuck wary.
"Everybody is going to be telling them they have not beaten us in their house," he said. "You best believe we're going to get their best shot, and I believe they are going to get ours."
The loss in the opener continues to gnaw at the Giants. They trailed, 7-3, at halftime. Eli Manning was forced to settle for short completions that did little damage; he finished 21 of 32 for 213 yards and a touchdown.
Manning said the Giants' improved running game would help to create passing lanes he did not find open in the first meeting. The Giants were limited to 82 rushing yards then, with Ahmad Bradshaw accounting for 78 on 17 carries.
"The majority of the game, they played two safeties high and challenged us to run the ball," Manning said. "We'll see if we can run the ball better and get that to open up the play action."
Manning's counterpart, Tony Romo, threw for 307 yards and 3 touchdowns, including scoring passes of 40 yards to Kevin Ogletree and 34 yards to Miles Austin. The Austin touchdown, which gave the Cowboys a 24-10 advantage with just under six minutes left, underscored how depleted the Giants' secondary was. Austin beat Justin Tryon, who had replaced Michael Coe after Coe left with a hamstring injury. Coe had replaced Amukamara, who was inactive with a high ankle sprain. Cornerback Corey Webster believes the Giants ultimately benefited from those shortcomings.
"I'll say we learned from a lot of that stuff, whether it was a breakdown in communication or whether it was guys out of position," he said. "But I think we're a much better team than we were the first game of the season."
The Giants' defensive ends, viewed as the strength of the unit because of their ability to rush the passer, sacked Romo only once. He frequently thwarted them by relying on three-step drops and by having his receivers run short slants. Webster said the Giants would have a more aggressive approach this time, starting with jamming receivers at the line of scrimmage.
"We were just kind of passive, kind of letting them dictate what they wanted to do to us," he said. "And that's not how we've been successful around here."
Ahmad Bradshaw missed a Wednesday practice for the second consecutive week with a recurrence of foot problems that have troubled him through much of his career. Although Coach Tom Coughlin said last week that he did not want to see Bradshaw return to a curtailed practice schedule, he now appears more eager to accommodate that. "If we have to adjust, we have to adjust," Coughlin said. ... Center David Baas, who injured an ankle last Sunday, also sat out, as did defensive tackle Rocky Bernard (quadriceps), safety Kenny Phillips (knee) and linebacker Jacquian Williams (knee). ... Tight end Travis Beckum, on the physically unable to perform list after off-season knee surgery, has begun to practice.Continue reading the main story

Bruins Trade for Paille
The Boston Bruins have recently received Daniel Paille from the Buffalo Sabres for two future draft picks. Paille will be expected to replace forward Milan Lucic for the time being, who is to undergo surgery on Sunday for his broken finger. The LW seven year veteran was selected in the first round of the 2002 NHL draft.
Paille this season has found difficulties in cracking the line up in Buffalo, but will certainly get his chance to immediately contribute with the Bruins. Through his career he has earned a total of 35 goals and 77 points in his 195 NHL games played.
The B's are set to host the Nashville Predators tonight at 7:00 PM in Boston. Bruins tickets are available all season long with us at AceTicket.com!

The Chrysler brand will re-enter the Chinese market (after having left it in 2009) with the new 300C large sedan. At the sidelines of the auto show, Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne said that it was in 2009 that the last Chrysler cars were offered in China. On this same year, Chrysler was rescued from bankruptcy by Fiat.
Marchionne said that Chrysler has already started earning in China with its jeep brand and that the Chrysler brand will make its entry to the market in June. In addition, Chrysler hopes to add to Jeep's strength in China. Local production is one way to accomplish this. Marchionne didn't say at what plant and on what date the production for the Jeep models in China will begin.
In 2011, sales had grown 81% to over 22,000 units, making China the biggest export market for Jeep. It also makes it the third market overall behind the U.S. and Canada. He said that Alfa Romeo will also be launched in China. It had been announced that Alfa Romeo will be re-introduced in North America sometime in the late part of 2013. Fiat-Chrysler considers Jeep and Alfa to be its "truly global brands."
Fiat brought the Viaggio compact sedan at the Beijing show. This car is based on the Dodge Dart and will start production at a new facility in June together with Fiat's partner Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. Fiat's earlier joint ventures in China had failed but Marchionne remains confident that the Guangzhou venture would succeed.
He said that the company has had two jump starts and will now make a comeback from scratch. The difference is that it has the right partner and product now. When asked about the slowdown in the Chinese market, Marchionne said that he isn't worried abut it at all and even thinks that the government made the right decision to slow down its growth.
Over the last three straight years, the standard full-size vehicle class in the U.S. has managed to maintain its market share at 4%. This is expected to change with its newest entry which is the 2011 Chrysler 300.
Redesigned from scratch, these new 300 series sedans from Chrysler are expected to rekindle this particular class by offering a vehicle that offers seat comfort that is the best in the segment, and that offers a performance worthy of a grand tour, and has an elegant style. Its high levels of quality and precision are those expected of some of the best luxury E-segment sedans in the world. All of these are placed in a package that is affordable.
In order to guarantee that the 2011 Chrysler 300 would be able to have the best-in-class comfort, all of the seats were made using a premium platform. The seats have an S-shaped spring suspension with the front-seat back having a lumber system that allows for a four-way movement which are forward/backward and up/down. Further enhancing comfort is the application of variable density foam on the lower seat, the seat back, and even the bolsters.
The interior of the new Chrysler 300 sedan reveals that it makes use of an American style and is mixed with accommodations that are truly world-class. Looking at the interior, it is clear that the style used is expressive with only genuine materials applied. There are a number of features that enhance passenger comfort and clearly the fit and finish are precise.
Additional modifications implemented on the interior of this new model include soft touch materials and an interior trim that is first-rate. Made available are the Nappa leather seats that are both ventilated and heated. Meanwhile the steering wheel, center console, doors, and instrument panel, all have real wood appliqués. In designing the interior of the 2011 Chrysler 300 sedan, the goal was to make sure that it showed an environment that was luxurious.
Both the door panels and the cast-skin instrument utilize a dual gloss graining in three dimensions that ensures that it has that suppleness and premium look. Contrasting the bright chrome on the interior are the satin chrome accents, allowing this flagship sedan to have that milled aluminum look.
To give it that extra detail, the instrument cluster now has a pair of large gauge faces which have chrome ring accents and are illuminated with Sapphire Blue. In order to have a more modern and premium feel, the interior has ambient lighting using LED in Sapphire Blue as well.

Hi Martin, It's odd you say that, as my experience is the other way around. I looked at KDE4 a year ago, then quickly retreated back to 3.5, but like many of us here got led back into 4.2.2 when it hit unstable. I found 4.2.4 slightly better - but I've really found 4.3 much more usable. Sure, there are some bugs that should have been cleaned up sometime around 188.8.131.52, but on the whole I'm seeing less system crashes, less unpredictability, and a generally 'more pleasant experience'. Having said that, most of the really irritating bugs from 4.2 are still with us, and 4.3 introduced at least one new irritation .. plus I'm also experiencing the nepomuk and various other daemons doing their gronk-the-hard-disk-to-death thing. It'd be nice(r) if I could crank up some dashboard for those that shows me what it's actually doing - even something very basic like amarok's progress bar for when it scans in 60GB of .ogg's - just so you know if there's an end in sight. I have a lot of data, but not much of it changes very often, so I'm bewildered why these daemons chew through the CPU and IO as much and as often as they do. J.

Cameroon hosted nearly 25,000 refugees and asylum seekers at the end of 2003, including, 17,000 from Nigeria, some 4,000 from Congo-Kinshasa, and more than 4,000 from other African countries. Nearly 2,000 people sought asylum in Cameroon in 2003.
Nearly 8,000 Cameroonians sought asylum in industrialized countries during 2003. Fewer than 200 refugees in Cameroon repatriated during the year. UNHCR Cameroon helped resettle a small number of refugees to Canada and the United Sates during the year.
Refugees from Nigeria
The Nigerian refugees remaining in western Cameroon at the end of the year fled during 2002. Nearly all were ethnic Fulani herdsmen who had entered northwest Cameroon with hundreds of thousands of cattle after fleeing attacks by Mambila farmers in southeastern Nigeria.
Although Cameroon did not receive a significant influx of Nigerian refugees in 2003, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) opened an office near the Nigerian border in Banyo, Adamawa Province, to assist refugees who arrived the year before. Nigerians, like all refugees in the country, lived independently with limited assistance since UNHCR operated no refugee camps in Cameroon. The Cameroonian Red Cross provided Nigerian refugees with education, health care, and financing for micro-projects. The World Food Programme (WFP) provided over 1,000 tons of emergency food aid to Nigerian refugees during the year.
Chadians in Cameroon
Civil war and insurrections in Chad pushed waves of Chadian refugees into Cameroon during the 1970s and 1980s. In recent years, improved security conditions in Chad have prompted Chadian refugees to leave Cameroon and return home.
UNHCR has helped about 7,000 Chadians return home from Cameroon since the beginning of a voluntary repatriation operation launched in 1999. More than 200 Chadians arrived in Cameroon during 2003.
Most of the estimated 40,000 Chadians who remained in Cameroon at the end of 2003 appeared increasingly unlikely to repatriate because they had already integrated into local communities and were largely self-sufficient. The U.S. Committee for Refugees no longer classifies them as refugee-like.

I have 3 MPGs files (around 540MB ea). I wanted to create a DVD, so I've used "Easy Avi Divx Xvid to DVD Burner" to convert the MPGs to VOBs. I also tried "Xilisoft AVI to DVD Converter" They both woked like a charm in creating the IFO, BUP and VOB files), but they created 5 VOB files (with a total size of 4.58GB, which I thought would fit into 1 DVD-R, but it turned out, it was slightly too big to fit in one DVD (4.7G)!!! I don't get it!
So I figured I needed to shrink the mpg files a bit prior to converting them to VOBs. I did that using MPGEnc, and I manged to shrink them and saved around 300M total! Than again I've tried the above tools to ceate the VOBs and guess what...same f***g problem. at the last satge (burning) it come out with the msg saying files too big. I've tried burning them in NERO, same problem!
I've done some reading in this section as well as under "re-authoring dvd" section, on how to compress (shrink) VOB files, but in vain! I've downloaded DVDFAB5 and DVDShrink and they don't seem to take VOB files straight from my HD (in the VIDEO_TS folder.) DVDShrink comes-up with an error saying..."invalid data in path....\VTS_01_3.VOB" !!!!.
Note that if I separate the files and burn them in two separate DVD-Rs they work just fine, but my goal is to have them in one DVD-R disk. Total movie time is 2h:48m:13s. So I don't want to waste 2 DVDs.
Thanks for your help!
I have WINXP, Plenty of HD space & Over 1G of RAM.

So many crap tools, so many problems.
If the mpegs are already compliant then you can author them directly in GUIForDVDAuthor and they won't get any bigger.
If they are not compliant, try DVD Flick or FAVC, both of which will do a far better job than what you have been using.
If your DVD structures were legit, DVD Shrink would happily open them and shrink them. That it won't suggest that the disc probably would not have played correctly had you been able to burn it anyway.Read my blog here.

What are the specs of the MPEGs?
With any luck they're already DVD compliant and you can simply use an authoring app to make a DVD fileset only slightly larger than the original MPEGs, much faster and with no quality loss.
pmolson - Unfortunately, your subject is COMPLETELY wrong and misleading. That has played some role in the help you have gotten.
Guys - He is trying to put VCD format video on a single layer DVD. These are NOT VOB files. (Thanks for the snapshot which let me understand what you really want to do.)
We have various guides on putting VCDs on DVD. It's pretty simple really.
You just need to convert the audio to 48 KHz to be valid for DVD. Here's one guide:
Here are all the guides at VideoHelp on the subject:

However, this is quite unnecessary.
You can make a perfectly valid DVD using MPEG1 video, only changing the audio sample rate. (see specs here.)
I've made many of these, compiling several VCD videos onto a single DVD.
See the guides here.
You can use SVCD2DVDMPG, for instance. There is an old free version linked which will do the job, the newer pay version is probably sleeker.
Guys, thanks for trying to help...
No, the files I'm trying to shrink are VOBs. I have attached the specs of the mpg file cose I was responding to AlanHK who asked for it. The original files are 3 MPGs files (around 540MB ea). I want to create a DVD, so I converted them to VOBs (5 files in total: around 4.48GB). When trying the burn the DVD (using Nero) it says they're too big!!
So it's VOBs I'm talking about not MPGs. Although I still have the original MPGs if there is an easier way to do it, I'm all ears! Thanks Again!
Use the original mpgs and and you can use the above vcd to dvd methods. You don't have to reconvert so the files wont be any bigger.
pmolson - no YOU don't get it. I wish you had paid attention to my post. I told you what to do.
You started with VCD. You converted it to VOB. Your final result is too big. The guides I pointed you to told you how to do this simply by just converting the audio. Your method is bad because not only did it not work for you, it re-encodes your video which will lower the quality, maybe by quite a lot. The guides I pointed you toward tell you how to do this with the best quality because you only convert the audio. But if they look too complicated for you then use something like FAVC or ConvertXtoDVD and maybe that will be easier for you. It won't be better and it will take longer to do it that way, but that's your choice.
I will get on it and report back to base Thank You Guys!
Ok here is an update...
1st I didn't have .DAT files so I've used the mpg files for steps 1-5.
I'm kind of stuck at step6! What do I do with the mp2 file (converted to 48KHz) and the m1v file? THX
"I typed the word Google into Google. Guess what came up? Everything."
"What we've got here is failure to communicate"
Thanks guys. I've used DVDAuthor Gui and it worked like a charm! Total file size was 1.22GB!!! I will burn it tonight and let you know if I run into any problems. Thanks to everyone for their help/suggestions.

Public safety authorities are probing the discovery of a headless body found on a beach, which could have been used by topless sun worshipers.
The corpse was spotted by a local fisherman on the shore at Bispham, Lancashire, but police have not yet identified whether it was from a man, or a woman.
The location, which is known as Blackpool is a major seaside resort and borough of Lancashire, North West England.

Real Estate Equities
Our global Real Estate Equities strategies seek to identify mispriced investments within a broad universe of real estate securities through an investment process that combines our direct insight into global real estate markets with proprietary valuation tools and bottom-up research. We have a track record of investing in real estate securities that dates back to 2001.
Available Strategies
- U.S. Real Estate Securities Value Income
- Global Real Estate Securities Alpha
- Global Real Estate Securities Long/Short
How to Invest
We offer multiple points of entry to our Real Estate Equities strategies, including separately managed accounts, mutual funds, UCITS funds and opportunistic strategies.
Infrastructure Equities
Our Infrastructure Equities strategies provide exposure to long-life assets delivering essential goods and services to the global economy. We have been actively investing in the infrastructure public markets since 2008, seeking out companies whose underlying infrastructure platforms position them to generate predictable, stable cash flows over the long term.
Available Strategies
- Global Infrastructure Securities
- Master Limited Partnership and Energy Infrastructure Securities
- Global Infrastructure Securities Long/Short
How to Invest
We offer multiple points of entry to our Infrastructure Equities strategies, including separately managed accounts, mutual funds, UCITS funds, closed-end funds and opportunistic strategies.
Real Asset Debt
Our Real Asset Debt Strategy invests in publicly traded debt securities of global real estate, infrastructure and natural resource companies. Our objective is to provide investors with consistent returns across the corporate high-yield and investment-grade debt of companies with tangible underlying assets, while maintaining an overarching focus on capital preservation.
We are value investors who seek fundamentally creditworthy, attractively priced companies generating stable cash flows. Our portfolio construction and risk management processes are informed by extensive in-house research at the security level. Our team also benefits from Brookfield's extensive informational resources, active participation in the global capital markets and direct investment experience across various real asset classes.
How to Invest
Investors can participate in our Real Asset Debt Strategy through separately managed accounts and closed-end funds.
Real Asset Solutions
Brookfield's diversified real asset solutions invest in multiple asset classes across the capital structure and liquidity spectrum. Our strategies can approach individual investor needs through several vehicle types, from separately managed accounts and private placements to SEC-registered mutual funds and UCITS. These solutions can offer a diversified approach to listed real assets, or combine these securities with private-market investments. We also customize the strategies to meet the specific needs of our clients.
Diversified Real Assets Strategy
Our Diversified Real Assets Strategy invests globally in the equity and debt securities of publicly traded companies that derive cash flows from real assets. This multi-strategy solution allocates actively to three liquid real asset classes: real estate equities, infrastructure equities and real asset debt. Other asset classes are deemed to be more opportunistic in nature. Examples include natural resource equities, commodities and TIPS, where the potential to add alpha is greater in periods of elevated inflation.
In each of these asset classes, we seek the best opportunities on the basis of relative valuation and the potential for excess returns. Our goal is to identify the optimal combination of assets that balance the investment objectives of portfolio diversification, inflation protection, capital appreciation and current income. This approach combines diversified exposure to real asset cash flows with dynamic asset allocation, with the added public-market benefits of daily pricing, ongoing liquidity and corporate transparency.
Real Assets Hybrid Fund
The Real Assets Hybrid Fund provides a single-solution way to manage allocations across private funds and public securities in several real asset classes. This structure allows investors to diversify the drivers of risk and return across multiple investments, while also maintaining the liquidity to i) seek alpha-generating opportunities in periods of public-market dislocations ii) allocate to private markets across multiple vintage years and sectors and iii) meet periodic private-fund capital calls.
How to Invest
We offer multiple points of entry to our Real Asset Solutions, including separately managed accounts, mutual funds and UCITS funds.

There's an interesting article in the Guardian entitled Watchdog seeks an end to 'horror' of personal data security leaks
In it the information commissioner, Richard Thomas, says "How can laptops holding details of customer accounts be used away from the office without strong encryption?"
Well Bitlocker may have helped there.
Or maybe the Encrypting File System.
Or the Windows Rights Management Service.
For the UK, police forces figures from 2005 show that over 34,000 laptops, almost 100 per day, are reported stolen each year, and almost 72000 computers are stolen each year in the UK.
That's about a PC every 8 minutes.
There's plenty of options for making sure that data is kept as secure as possible - maybe now is the time to start talking to your customers about it?

Return to the top of NY Yankees schedule.
The New York Yankees have had a storied franchise throughout the years, from Babe Ruth to Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera, those who have worn the Yankee pinstripes have had a tradition of success. Since George Steinbrenner bought the team in the early 1970s, it's been expected that the Yankees will have a contending team making it to the playoffs and expecting to win the World Series every year.
Yankee greats are like a who's who of the legends of baseball, including Joe DiMaggio who was once married to Marilyn Monroe and had a 56-game hitting streak that others have tried to beat, but have yet to do so. Roger Maris who had 61 home runs in a single season. Reggie Jackson known as Mr. October, Mickey Mantle and Billy Martin their colorful and controversial manager, the Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig whose career was cut short due to ALS and whose name the disease was later named.
Another Yankee great, Don Mattingly, is from my hometown of Evansville, IN and was a couple of years ahead of me in school. I can still remember to this day that he was the only player in high school that could hit a homerun over the outfield wall at Bush Stadium in Indianapolis, IN where the high school championships took place. His style of play came to be known as Donnie Baseball when he played for the New York Yankees and later had his number retired. You can see the #23 jersey in Monument Park on your next trip to the new Yankee Stadium.
When you look over the NY Yankees schedule it's no stretch to think that the players you will watch play will be some of the best to ever play the game and those that will be future Hall of Famers!

Rick Roll, Manualist Style
What a world we live in, isn't it? I looked it up: "Manualism - the little-known art of playing music by squeezing air through the hands." And how great is this? Manualist.com
It would be so easy to rag on the guy and make some kind of masturbation joke, but no. If you think about it, what you're experiencing here is the cornerstone of America. No, not fart noises - not entirely at least - but rather, this guy found the one thing he's good at, and no matter how stupid that thing may be, he kept working at it until he became the best manualist he could possibly be. Kudos my friend and God bless this great nation!
