When Do You Reckon Will Be A Good Time To Buy Obviously not now!
Posted 06 June 2008 - 06:54 AM
I really have got 2014/15 pencilled in as the time to start looking. Anyone who thinks this is gonna last a couple of yrs tops is deluding themselves. But armageddon will be avoided - 99.96% guaranteed.

Agreed. We (Mrs STA and I) have built a strategy around buying at the bottom of the market whatever that is. I can't see that happening in the next three years; 2012/3 is likely to be the earliest time to start thinking about buying based on previous crashes, but it could be a much longer process than last time. We are happy to wait longer as the prices will go down further and will enable us to buy cheaper and have more cash to spare for our retirement.
I am still thinking about a 40-50% nominal price correction is likely, but am slowly adjusting to the idea it could be worse than this and we will see an unprecedented collapse in residential property prices as a result of a Depression, but it is difficult to predict all the policy responses and how people are likely to respond at this stage.

Why change a good forecast?
You're being a bit selective with your forecasts there DrB. You used to argue that 2006 would be a good time to buy.

How likely is that?
I reckon you will need to wait for 2006

Thats when some big economy (read Japan) wants to manage a deflationary programme and they start handing out 0% corporate money like sweeties again.
Hara, on Jun 6 2008, 01:05 AM, said:
But that is the whole point about interest rates. Interest rates need to stay above inflation to manage money supply. So unless we had a hyperinflationary meltdown (of the Robert Mugabe murders 1/2 the pop, and gives all the farms to his urban mates hence starving the other 1/2, then rigs the election by so badly beating the two people left to vote that they can't turn up at the polling booth type) then what you will do is bung your money progressively into the highest interest rate account and it should stay just ahead of the inflationary figures - in 1987 I was getting 18% - anyway, don't worry, just go with the wave...

I think 18 months for those who would otherwise be ready to buy now (i.e. have a substantial deposit ~50%)
I expect the decline to be substantial and drawn out... I expect prices to fall in nominal terms for three years - though the lion's share will from now-on. Thereafter I expect prices to be flat or fall very slightly for a further 6 or 7 years.
This means that for those who do not have substantial deposits, it will be best to wait for significantly longer.

Doesn't matter though does it?
As long as your funds are losing value at a lesser rate than the property you are going to buy then you'll be quids in.
Posted 06 June 2008 - 08:10 PM
I'm gonna wait until I see a decent property in a decent area at a price I deem acceptable.
Might be 9 month, might be 18.
I'll need to factor into that job security, (which at the moment - isn't very secure!).

Swing Patio Door Configurations
NOTE: The configurations and grille patterns shown above are just an overview of what's available. Talk to your Kolbe dealer for more information.
Glass Terminology, Features & Benefits (expand for details -->)
Standard Double Pane Insulating Glass for Energy Efficiency across U.S. Climate Zones
- Double Pane Insulating Glass (standard)
- LoE²-270 (standard) or substitute a different LoE coating such as LoE²-240 or LoE³-366 (option)
- Argon Gas (standard)
- Thermo-Edge, Stainless Steel Spacer Bars (standard)
NOTE: Features and definitions are available above by expanding Glass Terminology, Features & Benefits
Glass Option - ThermaPlus
- Double Pane Insulating Glass
- LoE²-270 (or substitute a different LoE coating, such as LoE³-366 or LoE²-240)
- Argon Gas
- ThermaPlus Coating on indoor surface of the glass
- Specially-designed, heat-activated coating augments the energy efficiency
- Designed to meet increasingly stringent energy requirements for tax credit eligibility
- Thermo-Edge, Stainless Steel Spacer Bars
Glass Option - For Safety, Security & Quiet
- Double Pane Insulating Glass
- LoE Coating Options
- Argon Gas
- Thermo-Edge, Stainless Steel Spacer Bars
- Laminated Glass - two pieces of glass fused together with a plastic interlayer
- Helps prevent broken glass from causing injury
- Helps to protect against intruders
- Greater UV blockage prevents furniture and fabrics from fading
- Reduces sound transmission
NOTE: Either one or both pane(s) may be laminated. If products must meet specific impact or design pressure ratings, they may or may not incorporate laminated glass, and may require construction and structural modifications as well.
Glass Option - Neat Glass
You may request Neat® glass on any product with double or triple pane glass and LoE coating(s)*. Here are the benefits:
- Rain sheets off more efficiently, so water spotting is reduced
- Dirt washes away in the rain more readily, so you spend less time cleaning
- Allows more daylight in than comparable competitive products
How does it work?
A titanium dioxide layer is applied, which reacts chemically with the sun's UV rays and causes organic materials to decompose. When it rains, the dirt rinses away. Plus smoother glass is cleaner glass. The sputter coating process makes the glass ultra smooth, so the water "sheets off" more readily than it would on uncoated glass, and it allows more visible light transmittance than any comparable competitive product.
*Except units with specialty glass on surface #1 or #2
Glass Option - Preserve Protective Film
- Recommended for all windows & doors to protect the glass during shipping & installation
- Film applied to the interior and exterior of insulating glass as they are assembled
- After installation simply peel the film off the glass, and along goes job site dirt and debris, as well as paint or stain spatters. What's left is clean and clear – beautiful windows and doors.
Provides protection during:
- Glazing and assembly of the windows and doors
- Packaging, loading and shipping processes
- Unloading, carried onto the job site, exposure to daily construction
- Installation
NOTE: Not available on single-glazed units, units with true divided lites or other small insulating glass units, or some types of decorative glass. Contact your local Kolbe dealer for more information.
Glass Option - Privacy or Aesthetic Interest
Patterned Obscure Glass
- Obscures visibility for increased privacy
Variety of attractive patterns:
- Pattern 62
- Glue Chip
- Rain
- Frosted Matte
- Aquatex
- Industrex
- Reeded (vertical)
- Reeded (horizontal)
NOTES: Other patterns may be available by special order. Rain is not available with PDL bars on the obscure glass surface. Ratings for products with obscured or wired glass and/or stained glass shall be deemed to be equivalent to the ratings for clear glass (NFRC 200 Section 4.5.G).
Divided Lites
The PDL System for Latitude Series Vinyl Products
The Performance Divided Lite (PDL) system uses a single insulating glass unit, which offers much better U-factors than true divided lite units. This is due to the large, unobstructed thermal break created by airflow within the insulating glass unit.
- Beveled bars are adhered to the exterior and interior of the insulating glass unit
- Champagne-colored bars are held within the insulating glass unit
PDL bars
- Exterior & interior bars are finished to match the exterior or interior of the window or door unit
- Optional bar widths: 7/8", 1-1/8", 1-3/4" and 2-1/4"
NOTE: PDL is not available for single hungs, single sliders, or picture slider windows. PDL is not available for Latitude Series products with triple pane insulating glass units.
Grilles-in-the-Airspace (GIA) for Vinyl Products
- Achieves a style similar to true divided lites
- Aluminum bars are sealed within the "airspace" of insulating glass units*
- Easy to clean, with no obstruction on the interior or exterior of the glass unit
- The bars allow air-flow throughout the insulating glass unit, creating an unobstructed thermal break, maintaining an energy efficiency not possible with true divided lites
- Contoured, aluminum bars (finishes below)
- Flat, aluminum bars (finishes below)
- "Pencil-shaped" brass bars
- "Pencil-shaped" pewter bars
Finish Options on Contoured & Flat Bars (contoured bars shown)
GIA for Vinyl
NOTES: Ask your dealer about other options. Some units are available with:
- Flat brass bars
- Two-tones, i.e. one color or wood appearance option on the interior and a different one on the exterior
- Custom patterns & bar "shapes" (limitations apply due to bending capabilities)
- Diamond patterns are not available
*For triple pane units, the bars are held within the exterior airspace.GIA are not available on Latitude Series units with triple pane glass or Windquest EP doors.
**The wood "finishes" are wood appearance options and not real wood.
Glazing Bead
Standard Glazing Bead
- Interior glazed with a snap-in, friction fit bead to secure the glass
- Beveled-type profile like traditional wood windows
On-screen images of finishes and colors may vary slightly from actual colors. Selections should be made based on actual color samples. Prices may vary depending on the color or finish chosen.
Operating Hardware
- Stainless steel, multi-point locking hardware
- Full height anodized aluminum gear hinge lends greater structural strength to active door panel
- Keyed handle set
- 2-point flush bolt lock on less active panel of French doors
Toronto & München Handle Sets for Latitude Series Swinging Doors
- Toronto and München handle sets are available for most inswing and outswing doors, including swinging access panels that may be part of folding window and door systems
- Finishes include Bright Brass PVD, Satin Nickel PVD, Antique Nickel PVD, Antique Brass, Oil-Rubbed*, Rustic Umber, Matte Black and Smoky Gray PVD**

September 8, 2011 - 20 year-old Michael Bilderback just came off of what he called an "unbelievable" win at Slinger Super Speedway, his first ever Super Late Model victory. He unloaded with a pretty fast race car, took the lead in the feature around lap 30, and led until the checkered flag fell on lap 100.
The ASA Midwest Touring Star is ready to carry that momentum over to his home track on October 1st and 2nd with the American Speed Association® Kwik Trip Midwest Tour presented by ECHO Outdoor Power Equipment and GrandStay Hospitality as they will be the headliner at Rockford Speedway for the 46th Annual National Short Track Championship.
Michael Bilderback has raced his Super Late Model in the last two NSTC events at Rockford Speedway. Those races had two things in common. Bilderback was running second in both events and both times something happened and took him out of contention for the win. "I feel the NSTC owes us a good finish one of these years," said the South Beloit, IL driver.
This will be the ASA Midwest Tour's first time at the famed 1/4-mile oval. Having grown up at the track, Bilderback thinks it is a great opportunity for the drivers and teams. "I think it's awesome to get some of the best Midwest drivers to one of the toughest tracks around," said Bilderback.
"The ASAMT is definitely the top Super Late Model touring series around and to have them come to a weekend like the NSTC is just gonna top the weekend off. Being that it is my home track, I feel we have a good opportunity to showcase what my team can do," he added.
Bilderback has been going to the track since before he can remember. He has heard stories about being there for almost his full 20 years of life. In 2001 Michael decided it was time to start making some stories of his own. He ran the Burris Circle Tour, a go-kart series, a couple times that year.
He liked it so much he moved up to the Bandolero class and ran in that class weekly for two years. He did the same with a Legends car. In 2007, Michael moved up to Late Models and raced a handful of shows, mostly the bigger shows or on an off weekend.
He may be young, but Bilderback has more championships than some achieve over their entire racing career. In 2001 he won the Burris Circle Tour Championship in go-karts. When he moved up to the Bandolero class he won the Illinois State Championship as well as the 2003 Rockford Speedway Bandolero Championship.
In 2005, Michael won the Young Lions Legends National Championship and the Rockford Speedway Championship. If that was not enough, he moved up to the Limited Late Model class and got his first win that year at Lake Geneva becoming the youngest Big 8 Series winner at 15 years old and the last winner before the track closed. In fact, that was one of the most memorable moments in his career; well, along with his recent Super Late Model victory.
Over the past few years Bilderback and his team have been traveling around the Midwest and hitting every track they can for the experience. In 2008, they raced for the Big 8 Series Championship and lost it by a mere one point. Now he is in a Super Late Model and gained that first win at Slinger Super Speedway.
As always, Michael could not do what he loves without the support of others. "I would really like to thank my Grandpa and Liz. Without them I wouldn't be anywhere close to where I am in racing. Of course I cannot do any of this without my crew. I would also like to send a big shout out to the ASA Midwest Tour for putting together a series like this with all their sponsors and the great staff."
You can see Michael Bilderback and the rest of the ASAMT hit the high banks of Rockford Speedway on Saturday, October 1st and Sunday, October 2nd.

Best No-Travel Vacation:The Tiki Barge! If you work a lot like I do and can't always find time to get to the Caribbean—or even the Shore—take a day and hit this little oasis located right on the water in Federal Hill. Drinks, pool, sunshine, and lots of half-naked people. What more could you want?
Best Cocktail Creation: The Crouching Tiger at TATU Baltimore (where, full disclosure, I used to work). A clever combination of cucumber, St. Germain, Riesling, and Prosecco, this drink is dangerously drinkable and equally addictive. (P.S. It also happens to be off-menu, so, you're welcome.)
Best Drunk Text: "What's up?" Simple as it may seem, this little two-word expression is the perfect balance of interest and subtlety. It can mean, "Hey, I've had a few drinks and would like to see you" but can also be later played off as, "Oh, I ran into some mutual friends, and they asked if I had seen you so I thought I'd send you a quick text." Diabolical, yes?
Best Place Where One of My Exes Works: The Prime Rib. With its black walls, leopard carpeting, sexy piano music, and outstanding food, it's the classiest place in Baltimore. So, despite the romantic history between one of the employees and me, I can't stay away. And ladies, if you are looking to meet upstanding, successful men with some class, this is the perfect bar to frequent.
Best Return to Popularity: Going to Orioles games! Since the birth of the Baltimore Ravens, Orioles attendance had dropped off considerably. Of course, our poor record wasn't helping the cause. But with a winning season in progress and great new changes to the stadium, O's games are now, once again, a favorite place to go any night of the week.
Best Date Place: The National Aquarium. Think about it. There are a ton of conversation starters, and it's not overflowing with romance. But if you are enjoying the company of your date, you can definitely spin things in that direction. (Are jellyfish supposed to be sexy or is that just me?)
Best Eye-Candy Bartender: Mark Whipple from Mosaic Nightclub and Lounge. Okay, yes, I realize that I selected this same person last year, too. But you know what? There is no one who has dethroned him yet! This guy is not only gorgeous but dispels the myth that all hot guys are tools.
Well, there you have it! I look forward to celebrating all Baltimore's bests with you at the annual party August 16!

Police were ALL OVER Simon Cowell this morning in Rhode Island -- providing a 4-cop escort just for the "X Factor" judge on his way to auditions ... while he rode on a dinky little scooter.
Simon usually gets a police escort when he's driven around for "X Factor" stuff, but he's typically holed up safely in a fancy car. The tiny scooter's a first.
Luckily, Simon didn't have to drive far -- the Dunkin' Donuts center (where auditions are being held) is only 4 blocks away from his hotel.
I knew this man had an ego, but a four cop escort ALL THE TIME?.
Someone needs to stick a fork in that man and deflate him back to reality. And what police force can afford four cops? I sure hope to hell they are off duty.
Great use of police time!! Hope you paid for that Simon ...and what Pudding Tang said...walk the four blocks.
I REALLY hope these are off duty officers and he is paying them for doing this! If not, I cannot believe tax payers are paying to escort this guy anywhere!!!!!! WTF?
This was strictly for show! The City of Providence shut down all the streets surrounding the Dunk Center for blocks!.......
Sabin Street, in front of the Dunk and the Rhode Island Convention Center, is being shut down between Mathewson and Empire Streets.
Simon could of walked there without being bothered!
I love Simon's scooter and it would be great for me as I have mobility issues due to my disabilities and unfortunately I don't have a drivers licence. Would love to know where to get one of these!
Sure wished the police would have escorted Simon out of town. Simon needs to man-up and ride a chopped Harley with a suicide shift. lol

Al Jazeera seeks to build global brand in sports
- Tweet
- Share this
PARIS (Reuters) - Al Jazeera, best known for its Middle Eastern news coverage, aims to become a global powerhouse in sports broadcasting over the next five years, its director told Reuters.
The Qatar-based broadcaster will launch its new sports channel dubbed 'beIN Sport' in France next week and plans for two more channels in the United States in August.
It is also currently weighing whether to bid for the UK rights to the English Premier League, said Nasser al-Khelaifi, director of Al Jazeera Sports, in an interview.
"There is a lot of opportunity in the world for sports channels," said al-Khelaifi on Thursday.
"We are going to look at all the opportunities in Europe. We are going to study each market one by one, and if there is room for another channel, then we will go."
The moves are part of a broader effort by the emirate of Qatar to burnish its sports credentials ahead of hosting the soccer World Cup in 2022.
Flush with oil and gas wealth, the Qatar Sports Investment fund has also bought the Paris St. Germain soccer team and the Spanish soccer team in Malaga.
Al Jazeera is no novice at sports coverage. In the past decade, it has built the most popular sports network in the Middle East and Africa, with two free and 15 pay channels, plus an English version with a dozen commentators and producers.
The question now is whether it can replicate that success abroad with local language channels in Europe and the U.S.
To do so, it will have to take on established pay-TV groups in each market such as News Corp affiliate BSkyB and Vivendi's Canal+, shell out big money for rights, and overcome its lack of a distribution network.
Both Sky and Canal+ have large subscriber bases built on broad offers featuring exclusive movies, TV series, and sports. They control their distribution via satellite, while Al Jazeera will have to pay commissions to distributors to get its channels on the air.
Al Jazeera's push into international sports broadcasting will soon be put to the test in France. The French 'beIN Sport' channels are aimed at the mass market and will cost 11 euros a month, featuring top-flight French and European soccer, golf, basketball, and some of the London Olympics.
The French channels will compete for customers with France's pay TV leader Canal+ and be distributed by cable and telecom operators to 14 million households.
Two more 'beIN Sport' channels are planned for the United States in August, including one in Spanish with a heavy dose of soccer from Latin America, Italy and Spain.
The aim there is to focus on international sports instead of taking on local giants including ESPN and Fox TV in marquee American sports like baseball, said al-Khelaifi.
"The rationale there is completely different than what we are doing in France," he said. "It's not about competing with ESPN or Fox, it's more of a niche channel featuring international sports."
The next major choice the Qatar-backed group faces will be whether to put big money on the table to bid for UK rights to the English Premier League and take on England's pay-TV leader BSkyB on its home turf.
The Premier League, which enjoys the most lucrative television deals in world soccer, got 1.78 billion pounds ($2.9 billion) from Sky and ESPN for live rights under the current agreement, which has one more season to run.
It is now seeking a new three-year deal to start from 2013-14, and has already sent out its request for bids. It's expected to choose winners of the auction in June.
Asked whether Al Jazeera would bid, al-Khelaifi said the company was studying the issue and hadn't yet made a decision.
"We received the tender as others have and we are looking at it," he said. "We are studying whether there is room for another sports channel there."
Darren Tulet, an English sports journalist who was poached from Canal+ to be a presenter on Al Jazeera's new French channels, acknowledged that the UK market would be a challenge.
"There is a reason why the company chose France as the first country to go after: there was no real sports-only channel here. In England the situation is very different because of the strength of Sky," said Tulet.
Asked whether Al Jazeera would try to pip France's Canal+ to buy the rights to broadcast the English Premier League in France, Tulet demurred with a smile.
"Obviously the English Premiere League is the most watched soccer league on the planet. So you can imagine that we would be very interested in it."

Martha Burk writes on The Huffington Post: "April is the month every year when the paychecks of women working full-time, year-round catch up with what men earned by the previous December 31. This year it's April 17. There are a number of causes for the pay gap, including job segregation (so-called 'men's jobs' pay more than 'women's jobs') and the fact that working moms are often seen as less serious or less reliable, despite solid evidence to the contrary."
Read More...Ruth Marcus writes in The Washington Post: "The Mommy Wars are a conflict that is never really extinguished. It doesn't take much, as Hilary Rosen discovered, for the embers to erupt. This mommy, for one, is tired of the stale debate over Who Made The Right Choice and Whose Job Matters More. There is no universally correct answer."

CD/LP/Track Review
Elly Hoyt: Elly Hoyt (2011)
Duke Ellington /Lee Gaines's 1941 number "Just Squeeze Me" has a delightful intro, with Hoyt intimately accompanied solely by Phil Stack's earthy bass. The arrival of the rest of the group kicks the song into finger-snapping swing mode. Hoyt's slides easily into a sassy scat which combines freedom with control, leading into guitarist James Sherlock 's short, tasteful solo. The group returns to the head, where Hoyt's affinity for the blues is evident. On her swinging "Ell's Blues," Hoyt's voice contains the gospel blues of singers Ella Fitzgerald and Carmen McRae . Tim Firth's drums are to the fore and, after a refined solo from Stack, Sherlock ratchets up the rhythm with a short, spicy one of his own.
The spare arrangement of "The Meaning of the Blues" shows that Hoyt is equally assured on slower numbers, and there's a seductive impressionism in her blue tonality on this Leah Worth/Bobby Troup standard. Guest flugelhornist John Hoffman plays a nicely sympathetic solo, with a fragility and brittleness of tone in keeping with the melancholy of the lyrics. Hoffman also illuminates a fairly ordinary rendition of Cole Porter 's "All of You," with a warm, dancing solo. More effective as a vehicle for Hoyt's emotive voice is Antonio Carlos Jobim 's classic, "Este Seu Olhar," with Sherlock's acoustic guitar, Firth's brushes and pianist Matt McMahon's minimalist touches providing perfectly subdued accompaniment.
The Ned Washington/Victor Young standard "My Foolish Heart" has provided a canvas for vastly different interpretations over the years, from pianist Bill Evans and singer Al Jarreau to guitarist John McLaughlin though Hoyt's snappy Brazilian samba evokes singer Astrud Gilberto 's take, albeit livelier, and features McMahon. Hoyt swings on Hammerstein/Kern's "Nobody Else but Me" and simmers on a wonderfully laidback, drummer-less arrangement of the Nat Adderley /Curtis Lewis gospel-folk number "The Old Country," colored by Sherlock's singing blues lines. Hoyt also makes a compelling case for the possible inclusion of Neil and Tim Finn's "Four Seasons in One Day" in the forthcoming Australian Real Book .
Hoyt's slow-burning "All I Know" sits well among the standards and provides evidence of a songwriting talent which will hopefully blossom. This is an impressive debut from a singer mature beyond her years, one whose distinctive, blues-inflected voice is soulful and quietly commanding. Hoyt is just setting out on her journey, and it's exciting to think that she's only going to hone and perfect her craft in the years and decades to come.
Track Listing: Just Squeeze Me; Este Seu Olhar; Four Seasons in One Day; All I Know; Ell's Blues; All of You; Foolish Heart; The Meaning of the Blues; Nobody Else But Me; The Old Country.
Personnel: Elly Hoyt: vocals; Matt McMahon: piano; Tim Firth: drums; Phil Stack: bass; James Sherlock: guitar; John Hoffman: flugelhorn (6, 8).

Two weekends ago, the new Johnstown Tomahawks brought the Stanley Cup back to Johnstown.
They also brought Chris Kunitz and Matt Cook of the Pittsburgh Penguins to town. If that wasn't enough, the night before, they brought the Hanson brothers from the most famous hockey film ever, "Slap Shot," in for the evening. Pretty impressive.
But more importantly, they've been bringing hockey fans back to the downtown arena with clever and well-executed promotions in support of excellent hockey. On this particular weekend, they treated those fans to a shutout and a sellout.
It's not the only new success at the War Memorial. S.M.G. has been doing a fantastic job of finally programming our community treasure with worthwhile entertainment all year. This summer alone they featured two of the rock era's most significant artists. Bob Dylan and Crosby, Stills and Nash were both in our town. Pinch me, I thought I was dreaming.
In fact, musical legends showed up once every couple of weeks thanks to the always wonderful work of the Johnstown Area Heritage Association and their brand new and spectacular venue, The People's Natural Gas Park and The Polacek Pavillion.
Dr. John, the quintessential musician of one of the quintessential music cities of the world, New Orleans, was in our downtown for the annual music fest. In addition, the new venue presented a series of shows over the spring, summer and fall with the likes of Chris Smither, one of the best singer/songwriters touring today.
Hats off as well to The Convention and Visitors Bureau who host Thunder In The Valley and have built it into the busiest weekend of the summer. This year, they presented the most vintage cowboy rock band of all time, The New Riders of the Purple Sage, a group formed by none other than Jerry Garcia himself in 1970.
Of course, that was but one of many events scheduled by the C.V.B. for the fastest growing motorcycle rally in the United States. From trick bikes to Clydesdales, they entertained locals and visitors alike. I have to mention my favorite part, the Saturday motorcycle parade from Cambria City to our downtown. In total, hundreds of thousands turn out from all over America to enjoy Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
Speaking of parades, our small town still manages to have not one but many. Put together by veterans, downtown business owners and the biggest of them all, the annual Halloween parade. Do you know how many small towns like us don't have these traditions anymore? We sure are blessed.
We were literally blessed this summer by three weekends of visitation to our downtown by annual regional conventions of the Jehovah's Witnesses. As a result of the collective efforts of the Pasquerilla Conference Center, the War Memorial and the Convention and Visitors Bureau thousands of them descended upon our downtown.
In the process of massive prayer they also cleaned and repaired the inside of the War Memorial to prepare the space for worship. They left much behind including their hard earned money in many local businesses.
As one of those businesses I want to thank these many individuals and organizations who are so vigorously committed to promoting our downtown. In fact, this list of organizations and events is far from complete.
What an embarrassment of riches we have to be grateful for as we celebrate the New Year.

Mebla is an elasticsearch wrapper for Mongoid based on Slingshot.
Mebla is derived from the word "Nebla", which means slingshot in arabic.
Also since its a wrapper for mongoid ODM, the letter "N" is replaced with "M".
Install elasticsearch
Mebla requires a running elasticsearch installation.
To install elasticsearch follow the uptodate instructions here or simply copy and paste in your terminal window:
$ curl -k -L -o elasticsearch-0.15.0.tar.gz http://github.com/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-0.15.0.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf elasticsearch-0.15.0.tar.gz
$ ./elasticsearch-0.15.0/bin/elasticsearch -f
Install Mebla
Once elasticsearch is installed, add Mebla to your gem file:
gem "mebla"
then run bundle in your application root to update your gems' bundle:
$ bundle install
next generate the configuration file:
$ rails generate mebla:install
finally index your data:
$ rake mebla:index_data
Defining indexed fields
To enable searching models, you first have to define which fields mebla should index:
class Post
include Mongoid::Document
include Mongoid::Mebla
field :title
field :author
field :body
field :publish_date, :type => Date
field :tags, :type => Array
search_in :author, :body, :publish_date, :tags, :title => { :boost => 2.0, :analyzer => 'snowball' }
In the example above, mebla will index the author field, body field, publish_date field and finally indexes the title field with some custom mappings.
Embedded documents
You can also index embedded documents as follows:
class Comment
include Mongoid::Document
include Mongoid::Mebla
field :comment
field :author
search_in :comment, :author, :embedded_in => :blog_post
This will index all comments and make it available for searching directly through the Comment model.
Searching the index
Mebla supports two types of search, index search and model search; in index search Mebla searches the index and returns all matching documents regardless of their types, in model search however Mebla searches the index and returns matching documents of the model(s) type(s).
Index searching
Using the same models we defined above, we can search for all posts and comments with the author "cousine":
Mebla.search "author: cousine"
This will return all documents with an author set to "cousine" regardless of their type, if we however want to search only Posts and Comments, we would explicitly tell Mebla:
Mebla.search "author: cousine", [:post, :comment]
Model searching
Instead of searching all models like index searching, we can search one model only:
Post.search("title: Testing Search").desc(:publish_date).only(
:author => ["cousine"],
:tags => ["ruby", "rails"]
).facet('tags', :tags, :global => true).facet('authors', :author)
In the above example we are taking full advantage of slingshot's searching capabilities, we are getting all posts with the title "Testing Search", filtering the results with author "cousine", tagged "ruby" or "rails", and sorting the results with their publish_date fields.
One more feature we are using is "Faceted Search", from Slingshot's homepage:
Faceted Search
ElasticSearch makes it trivial to retrieve complex aggregated data from the index/database, so called facets.
In the example above we are retrieving two facets, "tags" and "authors"; "tags" are global which means that we want to get the counts of posts for each tag over the whole index, "authors" however will only get the count of posts matching the search query for each author.
Retrieving results
To retrieve the results of the model search we performed above we would simply:
hits = Post.search("title: Testing Search").desc(:publish_date).only(
:author => ["cousine"],
:tags => ["ruby", "rails"]
).facet('tags', :tags, :global => true).facet('authors', :author)
hits.each do |hit|
puts hit.title
To retrieve the facets:
# Get the count of posts for each tag accross the index
hits.facets['tags']['terms'].each do |facet|
puts "#{facet['term']} : #{facet['count']}"
# Get the count of posts matching the query for each author
hits.facets['authors']['terms'].each do |facet|
puts "#{facet['term']} : #{facet['count']}"
Indexing data
Synchronizing data
By default Mebla synchronizes all changes done to your models with your index, if however you would like to bypass this behavior:
Post.without_indexing do
Post.create :title => "This won't be indexed"
Indexing existing data
You can index existing data by using the "index" rake task:
$ rake mebla:index
This will create the index and index all the data in the database
Just like indexing, you can reindex your data using the "reindex" rake task:
$ rake mebla:reindex
This will rebuild the index and index all your data again, note that unlike other full-text search engines, you don't need to reindex your data frequently (if ever) however you might want to refresh the index so changes are reflected on the index.
Refreshing the index
Refreshing the index makes changes done to the index available for searching or modification.
Mebla automatically refreshes the index whenever a change is done, but just incase you need to refresh the index:
$ rake mebla:refresh
Rake tasks
Mebla provides a number of rake tasks to perform various tasks on the index, you can list all tasks using this command:
$ rake -T mebla
Contributing to Mebla
- Check out the latest master to make sure the feature hasn't been implemented or the bug hasn't been fixed yet
- Check out the issue tracker to make sure someone already hasn't requested it and/or contributed it
- Fork the project
- Start a feature/bugfix branch
- Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution
- Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
- Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.

(geometry Isbell duality algebra)
A 2-spectral triple is the algebraic data encoding the geometry of a Riemannian manifold with string structure.
Analogous to how a spectral triple may be thought of as characterizing the worldline theory of a superparticle propagating on a Riemannian manifold with spin structure, so a 2-spectral triple is essentially nothing but the algebraic description of a 2-dimensional SCFT describing the worldvolume theory of the fundamental super-1-brane (the string) on a target with string structure.
There are several candidate formalizations of 2-spectral triple. One that has achieved a certain formal maturity is indicated at (2,1)-dimensional Euclidean field theories and tmf.
There is at least evidence that there is a continuous path in the space of 2-spectral triples that starts and ends at a point describing the ordinary geometry of a complex 3-dimensional Calabi-Yau space but passes in between through a 2-spectral triple/2d SCFT (a Gepner model?) which is not the -model of an ordinary geometry, hence which describes "noncommutative 2-geometry" (to borrow that terminology from the situation of ordinary spectral triples). This is called the flop transition (alluding to the fact that the geometries at the start and end of this path have different topology).
Early attempts to understand the string's worldvolume CFT as a higher spectral triple appear in secton 7.2 of
Similar considerations are in
which claims to show that the corresponding spectral action reproduces the correct effective background action known in string theory.

► Mice lacking Hif1β in fat are protected from obesity and glucose intolerance ► Mice lacking Hif1β in fat have reduced VEGF and vascular permeability in fat ► Hif1β regulates glucose uptake in fat both in vivo and in vitro ► Hif1β regulates cellular respiration and mitochondrial genes in response to hypoxia
In obesity, adipocytes distant from vasculature become hypoxic and dysfunctional. This hypoxic response is mediated by hypoxia-inducible factors (Hif1α, Hif2α, and Hif3α) and their obligate partner, Hif1β (Arnt). We show that mice lacking Hif1β in fat (FH1βKO) are lean, exhibit reduced adipocyte size, and are protected from age- and diet-induced glucose intolerance. There is also reduced Vegf and vascular permeability in FH1βKO fat, but diet-induced inflammation and fibrosis is unchanged. Adipocytes from FH1βKO mice have reduced glucose uptake due to decreased Glut1 and Glut4, which is mirrored in 3T3-L1 adipocytes with Hif1β knockdown. Hif1β knockdown cells also fail to respond appropriately to hypoxia with reduced cellular respiration and reduced mitochondrial gene expression. Some, but not all, of these effects are reproduced by Hif1α knockdown. Thus, Hif1β/Arnt regulates glucose uptake, mitochondrial gene expression, and vascular permeability to control adipose mass and function, providing a target for obesity therapy.
