Now im upset....
Edit: Never mind im eligible for the upgrade See you all at the Apple storeLast edited by the sr5; 07-01-2008 at 04:43 PM.
It Is What It Is...
Despite AT&T releasing all this information I know that when I'm getting my 3g iPhone the one customer in front of me is going to be extremely ignorant regarding the plans, activation costs etc. and it's going to end up taking way too long but at least it's only 199. see ya'll at the apple store.
P.S. to anyone living in Austin, Texas, what store are you going to?
07-01-2008, 05:23 PM #4Crap
i'd really like 3G but 3 things in my way
1-im in argentina and the 3G is gonna be the first iPhone there, instead for us it's the second Version.
2-They probably won't offer the upgrade from mine, (old) to the new 3G.
3-everything here cost more, 32gb ipod touch is 3000pesos which is 1000$$dollars so im skrewed@!@!@
lol at Doerrfans image thing i zoomed and it said "zeal has no friends befriend him"Last edited by starfreak; 07-01-2008 at 05:27 PM.
MMi ownz!
$199....which is rs. 8000 in india....which is actually great value for money looking at what all the phone offers...just as a point of reference...the n95 is for rs. 24,000 which is about $500...dunno why anybody would buy that....
anyway...im looking forward to this....
im gonna keep my old iphone as back up....
sup all u pretty rich girly types....!!!!!
how can we determine if we are avilable to do the $199/299 upgrade?
And who told you that Apple will sell it for the same price in India that it would in US? Traditionally, when it comes to electronics, you can't just convert currencies and come to a price. And in US $199 price is for upgrade eligible AT&T customer and they'll have to renew their contract for another 2 years.
I don't think India has the concept of carrier contracts, so you never know what the ultimate price will come out to be. Price without a contract in US is $599 so you might want to convert that in local currency.
u should find out about what ur saying before u say it....india has had carrier phones for about 10 years now....
they sell the blackberry here in case u didnt know...(cdma)
and also (this you wouldnt know....) vodafone is bringing the iphone to india n as far as i know so is airtel....i already booked my phone with vodafone....
also...i bought my current iphone for rs. 25,000 which is $500. the iphone is mighty popular here....i think a lotta people would buy it even if it was for $599....makes it that much more exclusive....
india isnt as bad as u might think....
also....as far as i know....electronics prices in india are amongst the cheapest in the world....it has the biggest market in asia....and its the second largest consumer of mobile phones and related services after china....so apple would be stupid to sell the phone at more than what they are selling it at everywhere else....either way....if they do sell the phone at $599, the grey market here would offer the phone at much cheaper rates....so id just buy that one....

hey guys.. "the new update" does this means you can keep your old iphone... and get a brand new 3G iphone for 199/299? ... the other word... you will have 2 iphone " 1: original Iphone and 2: 3g iphone...... " this sounds like a nooob but it 's making me worry"
here's more information here:
iPhone 3G on sale 8 a.m. July 11; no-contract iPhone on tap : Ben Patterson : Yahoo! Tech
07-01-2008, 07:59 PM #11iphone 3G price
if apple said the new phone will be 199 and 299 the price can not change even if you upgrade. this is what Steve said:
In the US the new iPhone 3G is priced at a stunning $199 for the 8GB model, and just $299 for the 16GB model. iPhone 3G will be available in more than 70 countries later this year, beginning with customer availability in 22 countriesAustralia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, UK and the USon July 11.
It does not said the upgrade price is $199 or $299 if you qualified. So AT&T is a rep-off. is there no way the price will change
yeah i totally agree....plus the prices that AT&T has announced would be applicable to the us only...or to whichever countries have AT&T....
the other countries would have different plans and prices....taking into consideration local laws n taxes....
so i dont think it would differ from the $199 and $299 mark too much....even in the us....
all we can do is wait n see...n be hopeful
Dude...when did I say India is bad? I know that India is far ahead in mobile technology, especially handsets when compared to US. majority of Americans (not counting people on MMi) don't even know what N-series and E-series is
And I also know people buy handsets like crazy in India I myself have sold close to 7 iPhones for $500 a pop (bought it for usual $400 from Apple)....so there's no doubt in my mind that Indian people will buy it no matter the price. I know about different carriers world wide since I have been a mobile software developer for the last 5 years...Airtel, iDea, Hutch\Vodafone, Reliance, NTT DoCoMo, O2, Orange, ViVo...I am pretty familiar with each of them.
I also know India has carrier phones, but usually people don't buy phones with 2-year contracts in India. They are more used to buying diff handsets every 3-4 mnths.
All I said was that the price may not be equivalent to $199 in all other countries, including India. The price maybe more or even less depending on the market. Just chill!
This could be a rumour, and you definitely know better since you already booked a 3G iPhone, but I just heard from a friend that iPhone is priced between INR 18,500 to INR 21,000 in India (8GB). Like I said, it very well could be a rumour.
Couple of links for my friend from India - others may feel free to read if they are interested
BlogoWogo - The Blog Network | iPhone price in India : 10K, 15K or 21K?
Vodafone Confirms Iphone Prices for India | Fone Arena - The Mobile Weblog
First link is more recent, 2nd link I guess is just speculative!Last edited by ajrulez; 07-01-2008 at 08:39 PM.
so I'm confused. I have an iPhone now, and since they only came out a year ago my contract isn't up for another year. So does that mean I am not eligible to upgrade for another year and therefore have to pay full price? Or does this upgrade-too-soon-thing-pay-more exclude current iPhone users?

Ok, finally, an AT&T statement that "soon" they will sell the iphone with no contract. That's what I was waiting for. That means we will get No-AT&T iPhones for the world. thats awesome!
I hope that by "soon" they mean august or september. lol.
Hope there is an unlock soon too.

I think ur forgetting a 2 yrs contract with minimum $49/Month for voice and $30/Month for 3G.
i was in india cell phone service is dirt cheap, so cheap even the caveman can have a cell phone. A pizzza costs me more then it costs to have a cell phone there for a month
Going to Apple store in Houston Guys.! Good luck ! & yes i will be paying $599 Arrrrrg Since i is with T-Mo.....
I actually think it's worth it for AT&T to offer a no commitment plan. Why? Because we kind of cough out twice as much money on the iPhone 3G with an AT&T plan so it's best off to sell it at half price. I'm pretty sure they'll tell you this comparison to make you happier.
07-02-2008, 05:56 AM #19The real truth about 3G iPhones (confirmation on yahoo news)
In a nutshell, if you're "upgrade eligible" (log into your AT&T account to see if you are), you'll be able to buy the new iPhone for the discounted price of $199 for the 8GB version or $299 for the 16GB model. (AT&T is somewhat vague about the eligibility criteria, although your credit history and the time remaining on your contract are factors.) You'll also have to pay an $18 "upgrade fee."
If you're not eligible for the discount, you'll have to fork over extra for an "early upgrade"-$399 for the 8GB iPhone 3G or $499 for the 16GB model. Ouch.
AT&T also says that a "no-commitment" (read: no contract) iPhone 3G will be available soon, at $599 for the 8GB version and or $699 for the 16GB handset. Pricey, but hey-no two-year contract.

Vendor Innotek has also put a great deal of effort into optimizing the performance of the Virtual Remote Desktop (or VRDP for short). Windows graphics drivers now include Direct Draw support.

And if the bad guys break in to my home before the police get there, I as a citizen will have a BB gun for defense?This only makes sense to a Politician.
Just what was the threat that faces this police department? Something happens in Colorado, or Texas is a direct threat to a small town in Iowa? I concur with the townsfolk that think this is a bit much.
Have fun finding them.
Indeed, #3, I wish them good luck with that...
I wish they would make up their minds whether the police in this town are going to get high powered assault rifles or AR-15s, since the AR-15 is neither high powered, nor an assault rifle. The AR-15 is merely a semi-automatic rifle that LOOKS similar to an assault rifle. However, that does not mean that this is not a good idea as my understanding is that the AR-15 has a high degree of accuracy in trained hands, at least compared to most pistols.
Bigger question. Whose side will they be on?
AR-15 patrol rifles have become fairly standard for police organizations across the country. Before this if a patrol officer had a long gun in his cruiser it was generally a 12 gauge shotgun. What´s unusual about the purchase is that apparently the town or city can´t fit them into their budget and the officers are buying them personally. While that´s not terribly unusual for sidearms, this arrangement is a little different than most.
That officer needs an AR-15 to confront the same guy that I could confront in my home. Why should I not have the same weapon he has?
#8 I agree 110%. In fairness, we should be allowed the same protection that our leaders have, and our so called protectors have. But it´s not about fairness, is it? Control.I can hardly believe this is Iowa they´re talking about. I have never been there except driving through, but I have never considered Iowa as a place that would have such a problem with heavily armed criminals. Huh. Learn something new every day. I can imagine that LA cops would need Abrams tanks in comparison.
Surprised they didn´t get some surplus M16A1 rifles from DRMO, they´re cheap.
They were $850 before Finestein got on her soap box....hows that workin for ya officers?
What a crock! Police officers should have SUPERIOR firepower when dealing with the bad guys. AR-15 are SEMI AUTOMATIC!!! Do you think the bad guys have semi firepower??? Heck NO you jerks! The bad guys will have FULLY AUTO weapons that will spray rounds ( that´s bullets to you politicians ) and in BIG quantities...that WILL overwhelm the cops puny response. Obviously the city heads could care less for the lives of their police officers because they don´t want them OVER powered with firepower. Cops should have FULLY AUTO M-16s, bulletproof vests with SWAT plates, and EVERY advantage to do their jobs with a GOOD degree of success. Their job is to STOP the bad guys NOT to be fair with them! You want fairness...DON´T be a bad guy!!!
I don´t know why the officers are buying AR-15´s with their own money. Their department should just get some surplus M-16´s and/or M-4´s from the DOD. That´s the real thing for free #12.
I´ll sell them one of mine for $15K.

Hello Everyone,
Please check out my blog update for the correct graphic:
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Hey guys, this is my first training log on Wannabebig, I'm 20 years old, currently training for a strongman competition, but always training to just be as strong as possible. Gym lifts are: Bench 335 x 4, Deadlift: 625 x 1 (with more in tank), Squat: 405 x 10, 475 x 2-4, Log Press: 255 x 2, Strict Press: 205 x 5
I have recently done farmers walks with 350 lb in each hands during event training and am getting used to the stones, having done them two times so far ever.
I am 5'10-5'11ish, weigh between 210-220 depending on day/time right now. I am currently following a carb cycling rotation that gives me 2 high days/week, 2 moderate, and 3 low days. The high days fall on my ME lower day and my event day, with the carbs coming in around 2 x BW on ME lower and 3 x BW on the event day. All other days have relatively lower carb amounts.
Goals for gym lifts include a 675 deadlift, 550 squat for 2 reps, 405 bench, and 300 lb + log press.
Goals for strongman are load heavier stones, and get overall better at all events.
Somewhat of a long introduction, but thats all. I'll post this past weeks training just to show what I do.

HIIT Bike Sprints
20 second sprint/35 second slow
7 sprints
Just a little conditioning today. Was feeling it, so I went for it.
Axle Press

BW x 40 (straight set)
Not a ton of exercises today and didnt get to do much for back (besides the heavy pressing), but was beat up after it all. Havent done weighted dips in over 6 months and I was very very happy with 135 x 5 on the final set as well as the 40 as the last BW set. The 275 x 1 on the axle press was a PR by a ton, with my previous best barely being 255 which I hit for an easy 2. My pressing strength is going up literally by the week, its amazing.
Front Squats
95 x 5, 135 x 5, 185 x 5, 225 x 5, 275 x 5
315 x 6 (PR)
Leg Press (very narrow stance, heels 4 inches apart)
3 plates each side (300 lb) x 20 reps
5 plates each side (500 lb) x 20, 20, 50 (this last set of 50 was absolute hell)
Thats it haha. I was going to do some lower back stuff and deadlift variations, but Ill save that for Sunday (event day). The front squats felt amazing, 315 x 6 is easily a 20 pound PR, maybe more, and I havent done front squats in over two months. The 500 x 50 on the leg press was one of the most physically and psychologically taxing sets I have EVER done in my life. I was pretty dead after two sets of 20, but wanted to push through another set of 20. My goal was only to get 20, and I thought I would barely get there, but I psyched myself up to such a degree that when I started the set, I felt that this set had the makings for something epic, so I ran with it and hit 50 reps, nearly throwing up afterwards and barely being able to stand for about 5-10 minutes.
Thats why I do it though, for those sets that push me beyond my own limits, into a place that I never thought existed.
Intensity is controlled insanity.

Overall, today was an awesome day. 255 felt really easy on the narrow grip bench press, and I was really happy with 14 reps. Everything else was good...ready for events on Sunday.
New close grip PR is super dude.
Thanks man! I am using the 5/3/1 with this exercise because I haven't really done them in about 3 months. I actually haven't been able to bench press or do any horizontal pressing in about that long due to shoulder problems, but now my shoulder feels great, and this is actually an all time PR, not just a post 3-4 month lay-off PR, so I'm pumped.
Event Day
Axle Deadlift
135 x 5, 225 x 5, 315 x 5, 405 x 5

(video of second set at 8 plates)
That was it today. I didnt train with my normal group since I am home for Easter. I was really happy with the 500 x 5 on the axle deads. It was my first time ever doing them. The sled drags felt great too.
10 burpees
20 medicine ball slams
30 bodyweight squats
30 pushups
10 35 lb kettlebell swings
Barbell Curls (5 minutes density)
115 x 6 (6 sets in 5 minutes)

Bodyweight squat x 30
X 2 continuous
Heavy bag shoulder squats x 10 LR
Kettlebell snatches x 10 LR (35 lb)
Kettlebell 2 arm swings x 10

405 x 12 PR
A1 RDL 225 x 5/275 x 5/315 x 5/365 x 5
A2 Dumbbell Snatch 65 x 6 LR/6 LR/6 LR/6 LR
A3 Core Movement x 30/30/30/30
Today was a pretty good lower body day. The 405 x 12 was technically a PR on the squats, but I wasnt fully in it today and know that I could have gotten 15 or more on a better day. Really liked the giant set, will do more of those.
A dozen reps with 4pps for squats is huge bro, major props!!
Turkish Get Ups x 1 LR (45 lb DB)
Burpees x 10
8 rounds in 10 minutes
Just some quick, effective circuit training work to burn a little fat and build endurance.

25 lb x 5/20
45 lb x 10/20
70 lb x 10/20
90 lb x 9/10
Really really happy with todays workout. 270 x 10 was an all time PR in the close or narrow grip bench press, and is only 5 pounds away from tying my best with a normal grip (275 x 10). My strength is skyrocketing on the horizontal presses because of the near 5 month layoff I had. The giant set and the dip/chin set were both strong as well. Bodyweight is around 210 and I am very lean right now, probably the leanest I have ever been at this bodyweight.
Events (Deload ish)
Slick Farmers Walks
190 x 100 feet
230 x 100 feet
Worked up to 600 x barn length (dont know distance)
Viking Press
230 x 5, 5, 5
Prowler Sprints
70 x 150 feet
140 x 150 feet
210 x 150 feet, 150 feet
Didnt go as heavy as normal on my sets. Took it really easy on the farmers because my forearm is in a lot of pain. The yoke felt really easy. The Viking press was great for the first time doing it. If pushed, I probably would have been able to get 230 for 10-12 which is great, since the weight I will be doing in the competition will be 210. Prowler is always fun, and it felt much easier this time since I had different sneakers on.
Narrow Grip Bench Press (5/3/1)
225 x 1/255 x 1
285 x 6 (95 percent)
Bodyweight Dips
20, 30, 20, 12, 12
I moved Fridays workout to today since I have my strongman competition on Saturday, so my triceps were still a little sore today from this past Saturday when I did arms. The 285 x 6 was okay, it fell within the rep range I was shooting for (5 to 10), but did not hit the goal of 7 which I set. I believe that had I done the workout when I was fresh on Friday, I would have gotten 7 or 8 reps, but Im still happy.

So this weekend I competed in the Central Maine Strongman II, my first strongman competition, after training with the strongman implements and doing events for just a little over a month. I was very happy with my performance, and have a ton of room for improvement. Here are the events and my stats.
I competed in the 176-200 lb class.
1) Viking Press for reps in 60 seconds, 210 pounds
This event was pretty good. I got 9 reps, which was good for 3rd. I would have liked a few more and thought that I could have at least gotten 10 when I was practicing on it, but nonetheless, I happy.
2) Car Squat for max (starting weight 425)
This was my worst event, and rightfully so, it was very very different than anything I have ever done. I made it to 550 lb and then failed at 625. This was a very hard event and I definitely need to train specifically for it. I came in 4th in this event.
3) Yoke Walk and Keg Load Medley
For this one, the yoke started at 250 pounds, we walked 50 feet, then loaded 2 75 pound kegs, walked 50 more feet, then loaded 2 more 75 pound kegs for a final weight of 550 pounds, then we walked back 50 feet. With this event, I did pretty well in. I made it all the way with 550 without dropping it and came in 2nd.
4) Farmers Walk (220 pounds in each hand)
I did very well in this event, and the weight was very light for each hand. I believe I came in 2nd in this event.
5) Fingal Fingers
We were to flip 3 fingers, the first being 12 feet and 325 lbs, the second being 13 feet and 350 lbs, and the third being 14 feet and 375 lbs. I flipped the 1st and 2nd with ease, and got to a sticking point on the 3rd and nearly had it, but dropped it. Nonetheless, I was very happy with this event.
6) Atlas Stones (60 inches, 56 inches, 52 inches, 48 inches, 44 inches)
The stones were loaded in this order 215 lb, 230 lb, 250 lb, 280 lb, and 315 lb. I loaded the 215, 230, 250, and 280 successfully, but once I got to the 315, it was so smooth since no one had gotten to it and I didnt have time to tacky up so I didn't really attempt it. I was extremely happy with my performance, especially since I had not even been able to load the 280 stone in training on its own.
Overall, I came in 2nd, and I was very happy with my first show. I am definitely going to compete more and just need to focus on getting stronger now. I'll post some videos in a bit when I get them up.

Chamomile has been used since ancient times and was favored by the Pharaohs. In Chamomile Lemon, we have combined the finest chamomile blossoms from Egypt's northern valley, with lemon myrtle, the world's most vital source of citral, found in the rainforests of Australia. When brewed, this teason glows with the warmth of sunshine and imparts a lingering calm brushed with citrus murmurings.
Teasan is our term, derived from the French tisane, for brewed herbal beverages, which, strictly speaking, are not from the tea plant, Camellia Sinensis.
Bring fresh water to a boil. Sit back, relax, and pour over a bag of Chamomile Lemon. As tranquility fills the air, steep 5-6 minutes. This is the perfect bedtime teasan. Delicious hot or cold. For iced tea, steep 2 tea bags, cool and pour over ice.

Great little Kitchen in a can
August 16, 2010
Being a chef I am very picky with my kitchen. The Alpine Kitchen is just perfect for taking everything you need to create a gourmet meal on the trail and it all fits nicely in its container. I could not be more pleased.
Awesome product
November 11, 2009
I have had this for years, and I just bought one for my brother because he is always borrowing mine. The only thing that's not perfect about it is that the cutting board is a little small, but it works. I definitely recommend this to anyone who likes to camp and enjoys having spices and other kitchen utensils available. It's small, organized and has a lot of very useful components.
Very Organized
December 27, 2003
This set is perfect. Spices, soap, salt&pepper it handles it all in one conveniant container. And it is light wt.
Compact and light
March 07, 2009
Perfect compact kitchen kit for backpacking. Materials are durable but light. My only complaint would be the salt and pepper shakers are very small. I use a lot of pepper.
Expected a little more on this one
June 05, 2009
I was hoping that the storage container would be more universal as a bowl/plate then just a storage box. The plastic containors are suited for dry storage goods. I would'nt put syrup or other liquids in them. It is a nice storage box and packs in to the MSR Blacklite Cookset.
Nice Setup
May 03, 2010
I've used the set twice now and everything has worked great no problems whatsoever. Note: The lid does not stay on very well, nothing a couple rubber bands can't handle. But they could have done a better job. I would recommend to a friend.
Available sizes, while supplies last, include size and size one size: one size, .

Find out how we are making sustainability a driver of everything we do so that each time a consumer chooses one of our products, it improves their life, their community and the world we all share.

Becel/Flora spreads and cooking oils are made from natural seed oils. They contain Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fats, vitamins A, D and E, and can help you reduce your saturated fat intake with every meal.
Your heart is amazing. And Becel – known in parts of the world as Flora, Promise or Fruit D'Or – is developed to help your heart stay healthy.
The saturated fats in ordinary butter can contribute towards high cholesterol – in turn causing fatty deposits to build up in arteries, making it harder for your heart to pump blood around your body.
But our Becel pro∙activ range of spreads, yogurts and drinks is clinically proven to reduce the absorption of cholesterol.
Becel pro∙activ contains concentrated amounts of planet sterols, which actively remove cholesterol from the body by partly blocking the absorption of cholesterol in the gut.
These plant sterols naturally occur in small quantities in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, grain products, fruit and vegetables, but you'd need to eat 150 apples, 210 carrots or 425 tomatoes to get the same amount as you'll find in just one pro.activ mini drink, or three portions of pro.activ spread.
Consuming Becel pro•activ spread, milk drink or yoghurt can provide around 2g of plant sterols per day. Clinical studies show that, for those who follow a healthy diet, this level of plant sterols can reduce LDL – bad – cholesterol by about 10-15% within a few weeks.

Swapping butter for Becel/Flora can help cut your saturated fat intake by 3kg a year – based on switching 20g of butter to 20g of Becel/Flora Original a day.
Try replacing your olive oil with Becel/Flora Cuisine. It's got 45% less saturated fat than olive oil and it's ideal for frying, roasting and baking.
Becel/Flora contains Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fats, which the body can't produce on its own. It has to find them in food.

This Made My Day
A direct message I just received from a user:
"I am writing to let you know that SeekingAlpha has helped me rethink, reposition, and reinvent my entire financial existence in a very positive way. For many years until this past summer, I would occasionally happen on SA and read a few articles; I always found them interesting and stimulating, but I never followed up in any way. As a result of a significant change in my financial circumstances, however, I suddenly picked up on SA a couple of months ago and since then, it's been one huge home run for me. I visit SA daily and find it to be the best, richest, most honest, and most flexible financial website for personal investing. As a direct result of SA, I have rediscovered valuable things about stock investing that I learned 35 to 40 years ago, but forgot or put aside over time. It's all coming back to me now thanks to the marvellous authors and community on SA. And the results show in my personal investment portfolio--it's impressed even my personal investment advisor! SA is an excellent resource and I hope it's around for a very long time to come. Thanks to you and your team for your excellent efforts."

This past week I traveled to Vancouver, Canada, to catch up on some writing projects. While here, I have noticed a contrast that becomes much more apparent when one crosses a continent and an international border.
Let me first describe the similarities. Both the North Country and Canada rest a fair amount of economic hope on the opportunity to attract investors abroad to their communities. In the United States, the EB5 program allows a foreign investor with as little as $500,000 to invest and create at least five permanent jobs. In return, they are given residency status and thus placed on a solid road to citizenship.
The Canadian version of such programs have been widely employed and wildly successful in attracting capital and jobs. The difference, though, is that the Canadian version is primarily bureaucratic while the U.S. version is primarily legalistic.
A U.S. EB5 application can cost $100,000 in legal fees alone, and often much more, and frequently takes years to approve. The Canadian version can work about as quickly as regionally based bureaucrats want to process it. From my casual viewpoint, it seems that the Canadian process is preferred.
Many of the investors are from China. My mother in Vancouver harbors the hope of selling her house to one of them when she is ready to move. That sentiment is very common in Vancouver. As a matter of fact, a local joke is that China would like to buy Vancouver, but Japan refuses to sell.
One may wonder why one would want to move the family wealth and entrepreneurial spirit from China to the United States or Canada. After all, China is creating great wealth and millionaires at a faster rate than anywhere else in the world.
Early in this Great Recession, I estimated that the size of China's economy will surpass the United States in 2020. I have since revised that date to 2018, primarily because recovery here has been held back by more United States political dysfunction than I could have imagined.
Meanwhile, China's economy continues to grow at 9 percent annually, and is increasingly fueled by domestic demand and affluence. Now, the smart nations want to insource those jobs that left their countries years ago when they were outsourced to places like China.
When asked why they would contemplate leaving their newfound affluence to move their families abroad, some of China's entrepreneurs respond, "You ask me why I would give up a wonderful country that gave me a great economy and a great workforce and great government? I would give that up to be free to say it actually ain't so great as I am required to say!"
Judging by the legalistic roadblocks, and our unwillingness to have a nuanced national discussion over immigration policy, the United States is not serious enough about looking across oceans for investment.
And when it does, it very often looks across the Atlantic.
We should remember that while the sun rises in the east, it sets in the west. The western provinces and states are much more connected with trade across the Pacific, even though trade of goods is becoming less important than trade of services.
Shipping routes should no longer guide global economics. It is the transportation of people with good ideas and a good work ethic that will herald economic success.
We are still trapped, though, with a picture of ships stacked high with containers as the icon of global trade. We have grudgingly accepted that financial capital is mobile, and will seek the highest return anywhere it can go.
This principle is like water finding its own level. It is sheer folly to try to frustrate this aspect of capitalism, at least if we don't want to cut off our nose to spite our face.
We also talk about the need to create jobs, when our real problem is to create competitive labor. Jobs go where capital goes and knows no borders.
Jobs are created when industry and government work together to create opportunity. Yet, labor is not mobile. It is even difficult to get people to move to where there are jobs within this country. And, the laws of every nation prevent labor from flowing naturally and easily across borders.
What we must do is race to create the best labor force in the world. If we create a labor force than can out-compete, out-innovate and out-produce every other nation, the jobs and capital will come.
We have seen that job creation does not work very well if jobs are not fundamentally good, innovative and sustainable. We should recognize our folly and talk less about jobs and more about enhancing the quality and productivity of our labor.
Successful companies have used this realization to claw their way out of the Great Recession. Can our politicians also use it to help the 99 percent claw their way out too?
Colin Read is the chair of the Department of Economics and Finance at SUNY Plattsburgh. His seventh book, Great Minds in Finance — the Portfolio Theorists, has just been published. Continue the discussion at www.pressrepublican.com/0216_read.

The Leatt-Brace� is an injection produced glass reinforced nylon or carbon fiber and Kevlar neck brace system designed by medical professionals and motorcycle enthusiasts to help prevent:
There is currently no other neck protection system available for motorcyclists that can effectively help prevent all of the above potential injuries. The design rationale behind the Leatt-Brace� is to bring the head to a controlled stop. This is achieved by providing a padded rigid structure that acts as an alternate load path for neck forces. Helmet impacts otherwise transmitted from the helmet to skull and then to the neck are re-directed from the helmet to the brace to other body structures in a safe way.
The design of the Leatt-Brace� prevents the helmet/head from projecting over the brace and therefore prevents a fulcrum action, which has been documented in literature pertaining to the use of collar devices. The Leatt-Brace� MOTO GPX works with most types of body armor and chest protectors. It is also suitable for use by Superbike riders. Over long distances, the Leatt-Brace� will also offer some relief from neck fatigue. Only leathers with a hump require minor modification.The X-Strap (for upright riding position) and GP-Strap (for Superbike leathers with a hump), included with the MOTO GPX, are designed for the extreme rider who may experience 'float' at high speed (Superbike) or in a big air and flat-out whoop situations (motocross). Note: Not all riders will find the X-Strap and the GP-Strap necessary.The Leatt-Brace� MOTO GPX is compatible with all motorcycle helmet types and our design allows riders an adequate range of movement. The Leatt-Brace� MOTO GPX is designed for use on all motorcycles and ATVs for competition use, recreational riding and daily commuting. The Leatt-Brace� has been tested by BMW Munich, KTM Works Riders, the SABS (South African Bureau of Standards). It is also endorsed by MSA (Motorsport South Africa).The Leatt-Brace� MOTO GPX is available in following three models (prices exclude import duties and courier/delivery costs):ClubMaterials � Glass Reinforced Nylon Upper and LowerWeight: Medium � 850grams.

Now im reading The Body, hope this will be a good novel, wish me luck
It's a goody!
~ There'll be Chocolate, if God wills it. ~
It's fab..... and it has lots of my favourite thing King does, talks about bonds between children, and growing up. You're in for a treat.
...one that lingers far longer than you might imagine....
Yep...good story. Listen to music when you read?
Ben E. King, "Stand By Me"
just finished reading The Body, what a great novel , now I miss being young again
I just read The Body, and I have to say I'm a tad dissapointed. It didn't quite grip me as much as I thought it would. Maybe I fell into the trap of expecting it to be like the film, which I love, but the whole tone was a lot more depressing, I felt there was a bit too much of older Gordie, and I didn't like what became of Vern and Teddy. Reading about their jouney and summer freindship was great, the rest of it was a bit of a downer though to be honest.

Homebuilders have been on everyone's radar lately, and for a good reason: They have been outperforming the S&P500 by a wide margin. The good news is that the rally has been propelled by an improvement in the industry and company fundamentals. The bad news is that the last time the sector was on everyone's radar was 2007. We all know what happened to the sector shortly after. Does it men that investors should stay away from the sector?
It depends on the profile of different investors. Conservative investors may want to take some profits here, especially if they did get in early. Aggressive investors may want to stay with the sector, as the fundamentals of the industry continue to improve. Home prices, for instance, rose by 5 percent in November, as inventories of unsold homes are at record low. Mortgage rates continue to stay below 4 percent, while unemployment rate is below eight percent. Lennar (LEN) and DR. Horton (DHI) have reported record revenue, earnings, and new order growth; and are trading at reasonable valuations. Most notably, short interest is still high for the sector, especially for Hovnanian (HOV) -- 53 percent of the float -- and Standard Pacific (SPF) -- 33 percent of the float, indicating that they are still doubters who may end up pushing these stocks higher, should the fundamentals continue to improve.
Company | Forward PE | Operating Margins | Qtrly Revenue Growth (yoy) | Earnings Growth (yoy) |
Lennar (LEN) | 18 | 9.97% | 41.40 | 310.70 |
DR Horton | 17.28 | 5.98 | 21.70 | 179.60 |
MDC Holdings (MDC) | 28.55 | 1.22 | 58.10 | -- |
M/I Homes (MHO) | 23.30 | 23.21 | 47.50 | -- |
Hovnanian | 12.14 | 6.20 | 42.6 | -- |
Standard Pacific | 29.24 | 5.72 | 32 | -- |
Source: Yahoo.finance.com
A word of caution: Homebuilders and materials suppliers are highly economically sensitive sectors. This means that an economic slow-down could hurt the sector, especially if it results in a slow-down in employment growth or a spike in mortgage rates-the most important drivers of home demand.

now there're two translation I found so farTag as แท็กTag as ป้ายชื่อthere should be only one translationป้ายชื่อ isn't so correct since this word actually derived from taxonomy (การแบ่งประเภท) thus the more close translation probably กลุ่ม or หมวดหมู่ or ป้ายกลุ่ม? sound weird to meแท็ก is a correct form of loan word though but it also sound even weirder to me...

also, in Thai there is no separation between between each word so is it possible to add prefix like {bold} to emphasise the keyword likeRepeat not valid. รูปแบบทำซ้ำไม่ถูกต้องทำซ้ำ is repeat but there is no way this word could pop out as a keyword in this translated sentenceI see people use " " to emphasize keyword i.e.Continue to Tasks ไปยังหน้า "งาน"but I don't think this is a practical way to do it

Thanks for letting us know! I've added this to our list to investigate.Also, if you're interested in contributing to the translation directly, you can do so here.

The Citation V/Ultra is perhaps the best example of Cessna's well-honed ability to continually evolve a time-tested airframe into a market-leading workhorse. Based on the wildly popular Citation II, which entered production in 1977, the Ultra adds a slightly stretched fuselage, a plush interior, a more efficient high-speed wing, more powerful engines and updated avionics.

Bombardier's Learjet 45 is a study in contrasts. It is a breakthrough aircraft that had a troubled and lengthy gestation period, and its operators have a strong love-hate relationship with the airplane and its product support.

While the average car winds up on the junk heap after about 13 years, the typical business jet has a much longer lifespan. In fact, at least a few are still flying after more than 40 years (see box below). One vintage jet we found is owned by Rick Edwards and Louis May of Little Rock, Ark., who are business partners and have been friends since childhood.

Airbus followed Boeing into the prepackaged "bizliner" market in 1997. That's when it announced the Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ), a then $35 million executive version of its A319 airliner. At first, ACJ sales were sluggish, while Boeing initially did well with its 737 airliner variant. Today, Boeing has sold more than 100 of its Boeing Business Jets (BBJs).

Piper Aircraft designed the twin turboprop PA-42 Cheyenne III to go head-to-head with Beechcraft's ubiquitous King Air. And on paper, it looked like a winner: cheaper and faster than the Beechcraft, the Cheyenne was also easier to maintain.

In the late 1960s, NASA was looking around for an aircraft that would do a good job of training astronauts to practice space shuttle landings. The agency selected the Gulfstream GII, and that says a lot about the airplane.
December 1, 2006
an't wait for that new jet with the far-off delivery date? For less than the cost of most new models, you can purchase a previously owned Learjet with a comfortable new interior, fresh paint, long-lasting powerful engines and outstanding performance. There is at least one drawback-higher fuel consumption.
""How many leaders actively seek out and encourage views alien and at odds with their own? All too few...Who in your organization serves as your Challenger In Chief? Interrogating the choices you are considering making? Making you consider the uncontemplated, the unimaginable and that which contradicts or refutes your position? And also challenging you?""

A rather lackluster round of championship games yesterday. The Steelers will face the Seahawks in Superbowl XL. Now who to root for? I have no real interest in either team. I am thinking, as of now, I am going to root against the Steelers simply because I don't want to have to listen to people…

Yep, John Street is the mayor of Philadelphia. Ryan Howard had a busy day yesterday. He played with kids, met with Mayor Street, and watched the Sixers. The worst part of the day was when Mayor Street referred to him as Ron. Ron Howard. Fuck. Street can't even get the name right of our biggest…

PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) – Philadelphia 76ers superstar Allen Iverson will miss Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Pistons after undergoing oral surgery to remove an abscessed wisdom tooth. Ouch.
Anyone who is a Philly sports fan makes fun of Eagles website czar Dave Spadaro from time to time.

Ryan Howard Makes the Children Happy

The Big Guy just keeps on bringing cheer to Philadelphia. Ryan Howard showed up at an elementary school today in South Philly where they were painting a mural of him. The kids sang happy birthday to Howard who turned 27 on Sunday. Little kids are awesome — when they're not whining little brats of course.…

The booby has a long bill, cigar-shaped body, and long, narrow, angular wings. It flies high above the ocean looking for schools of fish and squid, which it snatches in a vertical dive. Boobies vary in length from 25 to 35 in. (65–85 cm). They nest in colonies but are territorial.
