Shale researchers still optomistic on gas reserves
(This story was first published in March 2012)
STATE COLLEGE — The Marcellus shale's bounty of natural gas is likely close to some of the most optimistic early projections, according to the private sector and university researchers who have been butting heads with federal analysts over the size.
The mile-deep rock layer probably has about 500 trillion cubic feet of commercially recoverable gas, say new, separate reports from consultant groups ICF International and IHS Inc., reports that were the subject of a research conference on Monday at Penn State University. The amount of gas in the Marcellus has been in dispute for several years, and accurate data are crucial for long-term policy decisions being made in Harrisburg and Washington, experts said.
"When you see conflicting or at least apparently conflicting information out there, it has implications," said Patrick Henderson, Gov. Tom Corbett's top energy adviser. "It can send a signal for people who want to do business in Pennsylvania that maybe it's not as promising as what was thought."
Henderson said he is concerned about recent federal calculations that have been much lower. Analysts at the Department of Energy in January cut their reserve estimates by more than half — down to 141 trillion cubic feet — which could hurt Pennsylvania, said Henderson, one of four state officials who attended the conference.
Confusion has surrounded the numbers and other estimates from the federal government since the U.S. Geological Survey in August estimated only 84 trillion cubic feet of gas resources. Federal energy analysts did not accept an invitation to the conference, frustrating participants.
Industry critics have accused drilling companies and their allies in the research community of trumping up projections to inflate stock prices and for personal gain.
Federal geologists explained their methodology by phone, saying they were only assessing resources yet to be discovered and not anything currently being tapped. Scientist and project chief Christopher Schenk declined to explain other major differences between estimates from the survey and the private sector, saying his team's assessment stood on its own.
"When we put that out, it's not in any context of anything," Schenk said. "You have to know the methodology used, who funded it and why that assessment was put out. We do not say other assessments are wrong. We say they've been done for other purposes."
Several conference participants, including petroleum engineers, geologists and government officials, criticized federal agencies for not doing more to clear up confusion about the numbers. The conference organizer, Penn State geosciences professor Terry Engelder, conceived the summit, which had about 20 participants, as a way to resolve differences between estimates from federal researchers and academic and private researchers.
Engelder in 2009 projected the Marcellus could produce 489 trillion cubic feet of gas. His paper was not peer-reviewed, but other researchers, working with data from well production and test data from other shale plays, have reaffirmed his estimates, he said.
ICF, an industry consultant based in suburban Washington, estimated a range of 460 to 698 trillion cubic feet of gas, according to a presentation from company vice president Harry Vidas. ICF used maps from five major gas producers, analyzed historical data and modeled well potential.
IHS consultants from Houston and suburban Denver, participating by phone, said they completed their Marcellus update just this weekend. In 2009, they estimated 399 trillion cubic feet. Their new estimate ranges from 267 to 534 trillion cubic feet, depending on gas prices and the density of wells across the gas field. The gas sweet spot in the Pittsburgh area may produce up to three times the amount per well as other parts of the Marcellus, according to IHS.

If you're wondering why the magazine chose Lubbock, its corporate offices are here.
The magazine is delivered to Quick Lube and Auto Centers across the U.S. and Canada.

The Global Obesity Pandemic
Shaped by Global Drivers and Local Environments
This first in a series of Lancet articles on global obesity describes the epidemic, its rise concurrently across the globe, and wide variations in prevalence among countries. Unlike for other preventable causes of death and disability (tobacco use, hypertension), no country serves as an example for how to reverse obesity through public health measures.
The global rise in obesity follows predictable patterns—with small variations in ethnic preferences for body size. Groups with high socioeconomic status in urban areas are the first to have high obesity prevalence. As gross domestic product increases, the burden of obesity shifts to lower socioeconomic status and rural areas. While economic growth moves low-income countries out of poverty, it also leads to overconsumption of cheap food and obesity.
Interventions to reverse obesogenic drivers largely will be government policy-led, such as shifting agricultural policies to incorporate health outcomes, reducing the costs of healthy foods and increasing that of unhealthy ones. Policy interventions for obesity will necessarily be directed at the environment—using social marketing, health education and health promotion to make healthy choices easier for individuals.
In the four decades since global obesity began, governments have issued reports and formulated plans to combat obesity, but few have moved from rhetoric to action.

OLRG Strikes Again15
April 6, 2014
by Cymre in Blog Azeroth
This week, OLRG hit the ground running with some old raids on Horde so I was really looking forward to going with them. Many of the usual suspects were there like Matty, Kamalia, Helke, and Taik but there were also quite a few I didn't recognise so if you happened to be there, let me know in the comments below.
I had asked Matty the night before if there was anything on the agenda and she replied there were a few suggestions but to add my own if I had anything in mind. Needless to say, I suggested ULD but with Daylight Savings ending early this morning, I was a little unsure of the starting time so I set my alarm for 9am as a reminder. Little did I know, I would still wake up at 8am so I logged into the laptop to see if I could confirm the raid time. I was happy to see Matty on through the Battle.net launcher and asked her to confirm the start time. Phew, one hour to go.
An hour later, I logged in to find them already in ULD so I joined them on the way to Ignis. I was especially excited to try ULD25 for another chance at the Soulscribe or Starshard Edge for my Stargazer outfit. Kamalia even told me she'd be taking her Pali so she wouldn't be rolling against me. Luckily for her she won hers on my run for completing Val'anyr.
When we headed to Council, achievements were mentioned as they decided which one they would go for. As the last council member died, Kam told me my dagger had dropped. OMG! I was excited to see it again but had a mini 'What the' moment when I noticed I couldn't roll need; I admit I didn't notice the stats since I'm so used to the caster versions above.
Enter Matty who asked everyone to pass so I could have it. <3 Little did we realise Algalon would drop another just as we joked a few moments before. My shoulder token also dropped (two in fact) which was the last piece I need to compete my set but they went to two other lucky individuals. Grats to whoever won those.
As you can see, I even managed to walk out with a couple of new achievements during Thorim and Yogg. Next came BWD with a premature pull and subsequent wipe (where I kind of lost my bearings after being teleported to the spirit healer). It was so long since I'd done the place, it was like waking up after a nap.
Things went pretty smoothly after that. It was especially great to knock Achieve-a-tron off the list since I was so close to completing it when it was still current content.
Thanks for the laughs guys and girls. See you all next time.
Near Miss4
These days, I don't head into Kara much after collecting all the pets but since I'm travelling around the continent every day, I decided to clear all but the optional bosses to see if I had any mount and pet luck.
Apart from the wrong opera and nothing from The Curator, I headed up to the Opera Event for my usual quick and easy solo. Now it usually goes without a hitch but for some reason I was stuck in the second piece I tried to move. After several attempts to eject myself from the pawn and log myself out of the game, it actually looked like the game was frozen.
Luckily, the game dropped out about 10secs later so I logged back in to find the match still going. At first I thought I had an automatic win because the cache was sitting there but then I noticed the pieces were moving. By hopping into the King and moving him from his fiery position, I ended up only hitting King Laine twice before he keeled over and died. They must have nerfed the event again because it seems even faster now with literally minimal effort.
At least I didn't leave empty handed.

While it is the middle of summer, and many people may stop spending on their summer wardrobe, this is the beginning of the time for summer sales.
Bonobos's Blanket Stripe Oxford Cloth shirt is one of my favorite pieces from any collection. It has a cool faded look, and it is seems very reminiscent of old school Oxford shirts and woven shirts. It may not be on sale yet, but it is worth the price tag, and it offers a great fit to enhance the style of the shirt.
My second selection is from Sunny Sports. I recommend checking out their "Towncraft" shirt. It offers a similar pastel color palette as the Blanket Stripe shirt. It has faded stripes too. A bonus for this shirt is how it is on sale. Granted, the sale drops it down to the same price as the shirt from Bonobos.
This style shirt seems to be popular this summer, and it is understandable why. It is a relaxed look that can be worn with most things, especially a pair of bleached jeans.
So with a little over one month left in the summer, I hope I provided two options to consider to spruce up your wardrobe for the final here.

That's what I want to know. I'm not sure who that QB was today. He looked like Johnson. He wore Johnson's uniform. But he sure didn't play like him.
Turnovers in the red zone. Botched special teams. Missed chip-shot field goals...well, that's not so out of the ordinary.
Today was rife with all of the things that plagued us through the first 7 games. Johnson looked panicked, his throws were off target...almost reminded me of Favre with the way he kept trying to force things.
The O-line really killed us today. Between the penalties and the blown blocking, a lot of the blame shifts away from Johnson. These guys looked like scrubs for most of the game.
But, I suppose that this will teach us to become overly optimistic about our chances based upon beating up on a few lousey teams. The Vikings need some serious work on Offense (There's something we haven't seen in quite a few years).
My hat's off to the Defense. They played a solid game, and got dealt a few bad breaks by turnovers.
My only real gripe is that Robinson touchdown that was ruled an incompletion. He had possession, both feet hit, that should have been 6. Who knows, that might have changed the course of the game. All in all, however, that was a well called game. Ed Hochuli and his crew are about as good an officiating crew as there is in football today.
That makes our next two, "Must Win" games..and we'll need some help to slid in to the Play-Offs.

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) - Burlington police are searching for a truck and the driver who hit and broke a railway gate in the Vermont city that was coming down because a train was coming.
Burlington police say the incident occurred at about 12:20 p.m. Thursday at the rail crossing on Flynn Avenue.
A railways employee tells police the gates were still raising after a train had gone through when they began to lower again for a second train.
The truck is described as an early to mid-2000s gray or silver Ford F250 or F350 with an 8-foot bed, and a regular cab. The truck had a black grill and a white fiberglass cap on the bed. The driver was described as a white male in his 40s.

Senior editor Jason Cohen has written for Texas Monthly since 1995 (and texasmonthly.com since its very first iteration). His 1997 story "The Ice Bats Cometh," about minor league hockey in Texas, was the basis of his book Zamboni Rodeo (Greystone Press, 2001). He also penned the magazine's first-ever Matthew McConaughey story, in August 1996. The co-author of Generation Ecch! (Fireside Books, 1994) and co-editor of SXSW Scrapbook (Essex/University of Texas Press, 2011), he has also written for such publications as Rolling Stone, SPIN, Details, the Austin Chronicle, the Austin American-Statesman, Portland Monthly, and Cincinnati magazine. His 1995 Rolling Stone cover story on the band Hole prompted Courtney Love to yell at him from the stage at Lollapalooza in Austin, while his 2007 profile of the Portland strip club Mary's won a Sex-Positive Journalism Award. As one of the two primary writers for the TM Daily Post, Cohen wrote approximately 500 stories for Texas Monthly in 2012. He has been a blogger since 2002 and been known to maintain as many as five Twitter accounts.

Stevie Stone - Dollar General
Artist: Stevie Stone
Featuring: Yelawolf
Producer: WillPower (for SupaHotBeats)
Album: Tech N9ne Presents Rollin' Stone
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 13 total votes )
To be clear, we here at The DJBooth in no way advocate robbing a Dollar General store…but before you do, you might just want to watch Stevie Stone's latest video. Built off a darkly pacing beat from WillPower (for SupaHotBeats), Dollar General is a cinematically criminal flick that finds Stone laying down his best narrative raps as he tells the tale of some (small scale) Ocean's Eleven-esque action he and the partners have planned. And as luck would have it, those partners include Yelawolf on the hook, with Rittz serving as lookout. For more outlaw hip-hop be sure to cop Stone's latest album, Tech N9ne Presents Rollin' Stone, out now via Strange Music and featuring guest appearances from Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, Hopsin and more.

Chifa Chi is the brainchild of co-creators, American Elizabeth Wilson and Peruvian Luis de los Heros. Their global travels exposed them to an array of different cultures and countries. A fascination and openness to their surrounding environments laid the groundwork for the character.
Their imaginations, coupled with the belief that the next adventure is always just around the corner, led them to the conclusion that optimism was central to their utter enjoyment of wildly different situations. During a trip to Luis' native Peru, Elizabeth discovered its delicious Chinese-Peruvian influenced food, referred to as Chifa, and the name Chifa Chi was born.
Chifa Chi is an active little girl who is always ready for travel and new adventures. She is eager to learn and excel at everything she sets her mind to, but never at the expense of fun and camaraderie. As she travels, she finds new friends in the local animals wherever she goes. They, in turn, help her navigate the unique places in which she finds herself.
Chifa Chi personifies universal values we wish to instill in children, such as friendship, compassion, sharing, perseverance and, most of all, optimism. It is the hope of Elizabeth and Luis that Chifa Chi and her friends may inspire children and adults everywhere to stay positive and use their imaginations.

Style Map
Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Designers design. Photographers photograph. Models model. That much—in broad strokes, at least—is clear. But what about the artists, technicians, and industry insiders, often unpublicized and underappreciated, who help to get clothes and accessories made and shown? Call them Behind-the-Scenesters: people who shape our experience of fashion but never take a bow on the catwalk or strike a pose for the camera. Without them—from pattern-makers to production designers—the show wouldn't go on. And in a new series, Style.com sits down with a few of these pros to find out, basically, what they do.
To the untrained eye, the models legging it down the catwalk at a fashion week show represent just another parade of pretty girls. But as casting director Natalie Joos knows, the appearance of a particular model on a particular runway is anything but arbitrary. For Joos, who has cast fashion week shows for clients such as Lacoste, Mark Fast, ADAM, and Yigal Azrouël, not to mention myriad lookbooks, ad campaigns, and magazine editorials, deciding which pretty face fits where is a lot like assembling a jigsaw puzzle in the dark. Here, Joos talks to Style.com about putting the casting pieces together.
So, Natalie: In one sentence, what do you do?
I'm a casting director. Which means, really, that I'm the link between the model and the client. Photographers, stylists, designers, anyone who needs a model, I connect them. Sometimes that means I'm asked to find a blue-eyed blonde for a particular shoot, and then I call around to the agencies to see who's available on that day for that rate and for that job; sometimes it's much more involved, like putting together a fashion show. In that case, you're really searching for the girls who fit the vision of the designer. And figuring out what exactly that vision is.
Speaking as an outsider, casting a fashion show seems kind of like shooting fish in a barrel. I mean, there are plenty of tall, skinny, pretty girls—or boys—floating around. Where's the art in what you do?
First of all, you need a good eye. You have to be able to spot the good models. There are bad ones, you know. The body, the walk, the attitude—you're looking at all of that. And for a show especially, you're trying to tell a coherent story. You want the whole group of girls to have the same feel. Casting ADAM is very different from casting Yigal, you know? It's a different girl. Yigal's girl, she's tough, she struts. The ADAM girl is a bit softer. You have to translate the vibe of the clothes through the girls wearing them. It's not just, oh, let's find the prettiest ones. There's a whole process of interpretation.
If some super big-time model wanted to walk in a show you felt she was totally wrong for, would you cast her?
Hmm. I mean, ultimately, you're trying to communicate the designer's vision, and you don't want one girl, no matter how famous, to interfere with that. But at the same time, I'm not going to tell you that reputation doesn't matter. You want to see new faces, of course, but the trendy girls are trendy for a reason—they're good at what they do, and they have a look that's of-the-moment. You don't want to use girls no one else is using.
As you say, your brief is to communicate a designer's vision. But do you have a bias? Are there certain types of models you prefer to cast?
I like beautiful girls. That's my taste, and yeah, if you work with me, I bring my own aesthetic to the table. I like a girl who you look at and say, wow…where did you come from? Who made you? I like a model to be a model. Taller, more beautiful, a little unreal. I'm not particularly into that whole ugly-duckling, she's-so-awkward-she's-beautiful thing.
And yet—as you say—there are trends.
Yeah, absolutely. When I first started in the business, it was that heroin-chic moment. All those emaciated girls. Which followed the supermodel moment, and was followed by the Brazilians. Boobs, beautiful skin, all that hair. Then we went back to the Belgians, the quirky girls. It comes in waves, waves of extremes. We're back to beautiful right now. If you want to sum it up in one person, it's the Lara Stone moment. Sexy. I think it has something to do with the economy. Awkward doesn't sell. Sex does.
What's the next wave going to be, in your opinion?
Well, I find I'm getting a lot of requests for real people. I think it's part of a bigger trend, with bloggers and reality TV. Clients are picking up on the idea that a normal, cool girl can be way more interesting and way more relatable than some, you know, goddess. They want to see human, they want to see imperfection.
Speaking of…you cast for Mark Fast, who led the way in using plus-size models in shows. More and more designers and editors are picking up on that. Do you feel like that's a fad, or an acknowledgment that a lot of the customers worldwide are bigger, or what?
Well, first of all, let me say that I honestly, sincerely believe in diversity on the runway. All kinds of diversity—color, size, what have you. I'd like to say that these bigger girls are going to be around in a few seasons, but I'm not sure that's true. The more extreme the trend, the more quickly it passes. That's been my experience, anyway.
Would you advocate for the plus-size girls sticking around?
Honestly, there's only so much I can do. I'm not going to name any names, but it's like, casting different ethnicities, I've had clients who have worried that the cast I propose is too diverse, they worry about it looking contrived. I've suggested, they've refused.
In the case of a shoot, what do you do when you can't find the kind of girl you're looking for, or if you can't get the girl that you want?
That happens all the time. Sometimes, if it's about one girl you were hoping to cast and she's not available, then you look around the agencies for someone similar. In other cases, I might go back to the client and suggest another direction. I've done shoots where we started out looking for a blue-eyed blonde and wound up with a black girl instead.
How did you get into casting?
I was Craig McDean's studio manager for six years, and I helped out with casting and I saw all the girls come through. Craig told me I should do casting full-time; he said I had a knack for it.
Is there one favorite project you've worked on?
Working on Rocawear is always a blast. The first few campaigns I did with them, I mean—top girls, top actors, tons of extras, travel to amazing locations. Those were the days. Also, the July issue of V—the "sexy body" issue—I was the curating casting director, and that was really great, having discretion over the whole book.
What's the weirdest part of your job? I'm sort of imagining that doing street casting must be a little odd. I mean, walking up to total strangers and telling them they're attractive…
It's not weird at all. I'm always looking at people, checking them out. And every so often you see someone with something special going on, and you just walk up to them, give them a card, and say, you've got a great look, I'm a casting director, can you come see me so I can take snapshots? Everyone says yes. And I do mean everyone. People in New York City are just walking around waiting to be discovered. When I show up, sometimes people are a little surprised, but mostly it's like, oh, well, finally.
This is super interesting! How does someone begin a career in model casting?
I love Natalie Joos, she is amaing. I also am interested in casting, and this was a great inside look at what really goes on.

It's a busy time of year for our operations staff – custodians, rangers, maintenance crew, and gardeners all chip in to help clear snow and ice as quickly as possible so the park can open to the public following winter storms. The result is a wintertime treat for visitors willing to brave the elements: the natural beauty of our winter gardens is augmented by snowfall. Snow catches in dried seed-heads, ice clusters cling to grasses, and High Line Art installations are dusted with a light powder of snowflakes.
The sun is setting early these days, making most of us want to curl up and hibernate, but rest assured that there are still great reasons to brave the elements and head outside. In addition to being a magical time to be out and about in New York City, the High Line offers its own seasonal after-dark light show, which can be especially impressive during the winter months when the vegetation is less abundant. In this image taken by photographer Christine Wehrmeier, the majesty of the Empire State Building is enhanced by its blue lights framed by the soft lights of the park's railings and planting beds in the lower half of the frame. The few illuminated windows in the neighboring building are storytelling elements as well.
SEE MORE of Christine's winter High Line photos.
Bundle up and stroll the High Line this month; our winter hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Plan your next visit.
'Tis the season to eat! Friends and family gather to celebrate around delicious meals this time of year. Will you do your holiday food shopping at New York City favorites like Fairway, the Union Square Greenmarket, or Sahadi's? In the early 20th century, shoppers flocked to open-air markets like the bustling Gansevoort Farmers' Market, pictured above, to do their grocery shopping. Every morning six days a week, the Gansevoort Farmers' Market would fill with horse-drawn carts heaped with vegetables trucked in from primarily Long Island and New Jersey. Business would be brisk as home shoppers, grocers, and restaurateurs scoured the market for the freshest goods of the day.
The summer season is behind us, but don't fear the cold! While brisk and windy at times, recent weather has been comfortable for leisurely walks along the High Line. These past few weeks, visitors have enjoyed the warm colors of fall foliage and the changing landscape of the park's plantings, now dominated with architectural seed heads and dried stems instead of bright blooms.
One of the High Line's most beloved features, the 10th Avenue Square, is still a popular place to soak up the sun, relax, or share a bite to eat. High Line Photographer Eddie Crimmins caught this lovely moment earlier in the month.
The subject of this Photo of the Week caught our eye because of its playful and creative interpretation of one of the park's iconic design features.
Photographer and Lego enthusiast Chris Christian created this Lilliputian version of one of the rolling lounge chairs from the High Line's Diller – von Furstenberg Sundeck. During a recent visit to New York earlier this season, he snapped this photo of his creation side-by-side with the real thing. This particular model was the 249th in his 2013 "A Lego a Day" project.
It is an exciting moment in the construction timeline for the High Line at the Rail Yards. The first phase of the rail yards is taking shape and this upcoming Monday, November 11, designs will be unveiled for the Spur, pictured above, a section of the High Line at the Rail Yards that extends over 10th Avenue at West 30th Street.
For this week's Photo of the Week we're featuring two of our recent favorites of the Spur from photographer Timothy Schenck who has been expertly documenting the progress of construction at the High Line since before our first section was underway in the spring of 2006.
Read more after the jump.
Photographer Timothy Schenck captured this vibrant autumn photo this morning as a light rain fell on the Chelsea neighborhood. Peering out from between the trees in the 10th Avenue Square, on the High Line at West 17th Street, Tim's photo captures a north-facing view of the park's fall foliage and our newest High Line Billboard at West 18th Street.
Contrasting with the overcast day, Thomas Demand's new High Line Billboard installation, High Line, offers an unwavering bright patch of blue sky next to the park. This seemingly simple poetic image of an empty clothesline is actually a photograph of a meticulously constructed paper and cardboard replica of these everyday objects.
The large billboard format, which High Line Art Curator & Director Cecilia Alemani has used to augment the presence and impact of artworks, creates an interesting interaction with park goers and sparks the imagination. Clotheslines are both familiar and exotic – in the sense that they are recognizable, but don't quite fit into our 21st-century city-dwelling existence. (Maybe a more Manhattan-centric version could involve quarter slots or a drop-off laundry reference?)
However you choose to interpret and enjoy the new High Line Billboard, it's not a bad thing to be reminded of a summer breeze on an idyllic countryside, especially on rainy days like today. Stop by soon – this High Line Billboard will be on view until Monday, December 2, 2013.
High Line Photographer Mike Tschappat took this wonderfully moody image of a deep red-brown Brownies hairy alumroot during a recent early morning photo walk. Fall has arrived on the High Line and the vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows are wonderful to see. The crisp air and brilliant sun should stay with us through the weekend.
On Saturday, enjoy the foliage and stay for some Halloween fun. From 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, we'll be hosting our fourth-annual Haunted High Line Halloween, featuring a variety of spooky activities throughout the park.
Approximately 360 species of perennial plants flourish on the High Line and are cared for by a team of dedicated High Line Gardeners and volunteers.
Most of this planting activity on the High Line takes place in the spring and fall. Last week, High Line Gardener Orrin Sheehan transplanted tassel ferns, Polystichum polyblepharum, taking them from dry spots and relocating them to more heavily watered areas. On this particular day, he and High Line Volunteer Lebasi Lashley also planted a few wild ginger, Asarum canadense, and barrenwort, Epimedium grandiflorum, plants along the same beds beneath the Falcone Flyover.
Volunteers work alongside High Line Gardeners throughout the year to keep the High Line beautiful. We are so thankful for all of our volunteers and their enormous efforts.
For more information about what is growing on the High Line, plan your visit and take along our October Bloom List.
Come observe the celestial bodies above the High Line. On Tuesday evenings through the end of the month, the Amateur Astronomers Association will set up their high-powered telescopes to provide visitors an opportunity to get an up-close-and-personal look at the stars and planets. Stargazing on the High Line is a free program, so take advantage of one of the final three opportunities of the season.
High Line Photographer Oliver Rich took this photo earlier in the season using a tripod and a long exposure to capture the movement of people while keeping the stationary objects tack-sharp. Thank you, Oliver, for this wonderful image!

1 year agoIt's not the genuine Wolverine XXX parody for two reasons. First: the original movie entitled "Wolverine XXX: a porn parody", released in 2012, was produced by Vivid, not Cumlouder. Second: Angel Rivas does not appear in the cast of the official movie.
This is a simple parody nearly amateurish.

Subsidy Land (Countries where phones are subsidized by mobile carriers)
$199 – iPhone 5S with a 128GB option, "gold" color option, fingerprint scanner, improved camera, faster processor. (95% confidence)
$99 - iPhone 5C available in various colors. (75% confidence)
$0 - iPhone 4S (51% confidence)
Non-Subsidy Land (Countries where phones are not subsidized by mobile carriers. Pre-paid option in subsidy land. For simplicity, I'm not considering various taxes/international fees.)
$650 – iPhone 5S with a 128GB option, "gold" color option, fingerprint scanner, improved camera, faster processor. (95% confidence)
$499 – iPhone 5C available in various colors. (75% confidence)
$399 - iPhone 4S (51% confidence)
$349 – iPhone 4 (50.1% confidence)
1) The "cheap" iPhone won't be cheap. Consensus seems to have settled around the $399-$499 range, therefore I suspect $499 is the floor. For the first time, Apple will be selling a brand new iPhone for under $100 in the U.S.
2) I think the iPhone 4S and 4 will stick around (in somewhat limited capacity). I have received the most push-back on this point, but I still see a large market need being met by the 4S and 4 (having an iPhone at a sub-$400 price point is important).
3) The iPhone 5 will see end-of-life, to be replaced by the very capable iPhone 5C.
4) Notice the subtle differences in subsidy and non-subsidy wholesale pricing. Apple may be willing to sacrifice $50 or so in non-subsidy land for more aggressive iPhone 5C pricing (coinciding with China Mobile launch).
5) I think an iPhone 5S fingerprint scanner could be a pretty big talking point during the keynote (think this year's Siri). Expect very limited functionality, but a ton on security and privacy.
6) Other topics such as a refreshed Apple TV (not a TV set), updated iPods, and a few more new iOS 7 features are probably more likely than not at this point.
Other Random Musings
As usual with Apple keynotes, the safe bet is to collect all rumors and divide by half to get closer to reality. There will likely be disappointment around iPhone 5C pricing and chatter that the iPhone 5S isn't different enough from previous models. Let's not even begin to discuss iOS 7 reactions.

Review: Budda ZenMan OD/Boost Pedal
Review: Budda ZenMan OD/Boost Pedal
The following content is related to the October 2013 issue of Guitar World. For the full range of interviews, features, tabs and more, pick up the new issue on newsstands now, or in our online store.
Over the course of its 15-plus years, Budda has mostly focused on crafting sublime tube amplifiers imbued with a grunting low end, purring mids and a harmonically dense top end. But the company has also made its mark with the Budwah, a wah pedal that has an almost cult-like fan base.
Now comes the company's new ZenMan OD/Boost, an overdrive/boost pedal that lets you create everything from clean boost to smooth overdrive to crunch and grind. With its integrated EQ circuit, the ZenMan allows an additional measure of tone shaping that goes beyond what similar pedals offer.
The ZenMan joins two personalities in one pedal—hence its yin-yang graphic motif—offering a stand-alone boost circuit and a phenomenal overdrive. The boost is activated with the footswitch, and the dedicated boost knob lets you dial in the exact amount you want. The overdrive controls include tone, gain, level, and a switch for selecting between Phat and Vintage EQ curves. The Vintage mode sounds clearer and more transparent, while the Phat mode engages Budda's famously dark and rich spectrum of gain. The boost and overdrive features can be used alone or in conjunction. In addition, the ZenMan can be powered either with an internal nine-volt battery or an external power supply.
I could fill pages talking about the ZenMan's permutable overdrive and tonal abilities, but the main point is that it produces sounds akin to richly developed power-amp distortion rather than the more compressed, screaming-preamp style of overdrive. The Phat mode delivers satanically dark tones with more character and low-mid bloom. Conversely, the Vintage mode opens the gates to heavenly, full-spectrum overtones while it preserves your guitar's natural character. Boost is clear, uncolored and notably uncompressed on its own, and it's great for igniting a gain-fueled tonal explosion and extra attack in conjunction with the overdrive circuit.
The Bottom Line
Budda's boutique ZenMan OD/Boost is a purist's pedal, whether you want an uncompromising clean boost or the blossoming tones and harmonics normally experienced from overdriven power tubes.

Welcome to Mangala Shri Bhuti's Dharma Blog
Welcome to Mangala Shri Bhuti's Dharma Blog, where we explore the dharma, which we have been fortunate to come into contact with. In a word, what is "dharma"? We can say it is the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni. We can also say dharma represents certain truths or "the facts of life". But most essentially, we've found that dharma comes to mean an awakening of our own active intelligence about the causes of suffering and happiness. This process is ignited by the teachings we hear and catalyzed further by our contemplation and practice. Join us in appreciating and deepening our understanding of dharma through these excerpts by Mangala Shri Bhuti's teachers and senior students.
Subscribe to MSB's Dharma Blog feed.
Last time, we talked about the two predominating ways that people try to "manage" their life, and the problems which these create. Somehow we need to discover a more balanced approach. The ability to see our situation objectively as well as achieving greater balance can both be accomplished through Dharma practice.
As we get older, we find that we naturally tend to cultivate an increasing "renunciation." We can nurture this quality by reflecting on the many experiences we've already had. This will then automatically diminish our craving or desire to repeat similar experiences. We'll find ourselves no longer so driven to crank up our life in an attempt to have more and to accomplish more, since we've already tasted that fruit, with all the accompanying emotions. We can begin to relax a little, being content with all that we've experienced already in our life. This process of awareness and appreciation naturally generates a fuller sense of renunciation. It is not something that needs to be very deliberate, but rather it occurs more and more as our life unfolds, unless we try holding onto things too tightly. This natural renunciation is happening all the time. If we can just allow that process, and foster an attitude of "practice mind" to go with it, then there will be an increasing amount of renunciation occurring every year.
After forty plus years I feel that I've actually seen quite a bit of the world, and I am glad I have. But if I was very uptight, and instead had over-managed my life, I probably would not have seen nearly as much. I would just have been in a monastery doing my own thing, which is what I was actually groomed to do. But because of whatever you wish to call it—fate, or passion, or karma, or the disaster of mismanaging my life—I feel like I've seen a lot during my life, and as a result there is now a lot more renunciation.
It's not that I feel old necessarily, but my focus has become much more clear. I used to love dancing when I was younger. The other night I was thinking I could still get myself up to go dancing, but what would that do for me? Does that serve my needs, or should I just go back to my room to do my daily practice? And I found there was a tremendous sense of contentment to just go back to my room and read my daily liturgy and be present. In the old days, I doubt whether this would have been the outcome. But now it's different, so I am glad for that.
I am glad because I feel that I'm doing what's natural for me. I am not trying to crank anything up. When there was renunciation to the dancing, I thought to myself, "Is this due to getting older or feeling old?" And maybe in some ways it is, if you see it from that point of view. But from another point of view it is not about getting older, but much more that my focus is becoming more clear. What do I want to do with every hour of my life? Certainly not to be so blown around in all different directions. I am actually glad about what happened in the past, but now my life doesn't necessarily unfold in that same way, so I am glad about that too.
My point here is simply that I'm finding there's a lot more renunciation. And some of you who are older than me probably have more renunciation than I do. But at the same time, perhaps there's still a feeling of needing to hold on to things, even if they are old things, even if it's your old self, or your passion from earlier times.
When this increased sense of renunciation makes your focus more clear, then life itself becomes much more orderly. When your needs are not so insistent, when the drives are not so pressing any longer, and there is not such a striving to be young and maintain your old familiar self, you can begin to feel a little more free. It is at this stage that practitioners and non-practitioners alike are faced with a choice. Whereas in the past you chose to entertain yourself through experiences of the world, now you find you are entertaining yourself with your mind.
Ultimately speaking there are two main types of entertainment through the mind. One occurs mostly through thoughts and imagination, while the other is just being present. After some time, thoughts and imagination can get a little bit repetitious or tedious. At any rate, that diversion begins to feel less "juicy" and less attractive after awhile. So it may then seem like all there is to do in life is just to be present. I think when a person reaches that point through some degree of renunciation, and begins letting go of entertaining the mind through thoughts and imagination— just remaining present more of the time—it feels almost like starting a new life. There is a sense of freshness, and the sensation of experiencing perceptions for the first time. You may feel like a new or different person. Many of the old inner complaints are diminished: "My life would be so much better if only..."; or, "I wish I was more this or that." You no longer feel so caught, or bound so deeply by your attachments. Over time, you notice that your previous concerns and attachments no longer seem like such a big deal. Some of the very things you disliked about yourself lead you to a different perspective, and you see how others also struggle with the same issues that used to bind you.
As one's attitude begins to turn around in this way, people become much more fearless in their life, and their focus becomes much sharper. You find that you are glad you've had a variety of different experiences, including even the painful ones. When you have your own record of painful experiences, or whatever suffering has occurred, it makes you much more a person of this world. Otherwise, someone may prefer residing completely within their safe haven, in a kind of strategic fortress, where everything is organized and prepared. All that's needed is to follow a routine, without any real understanding of what goes on beyond the fortress walls, beyond the setting that has been created within those walls. I'm not speaking here of some exalted prince or princess, some king or queen—people with great wealth or privilege. This could be a description of any one of us who try to live too carefully, within a tight boundary, never daring to take chances or make leaps.
None of us really know what life will hold for us. We may get clues, but there remains great uncertainty about the coming years unless somehow we can know our own karma. But, without so many needs any longer, we also diminish the fears that keep us bound to those needs. We find ourselves much freer, and this sense of liberation becomes a great joy. It becomes one of the deepest motivations for practice. It helps us to develop an inner feeling of letting go, of knowing we can let go if needed, being able to leave everything as easily as going for a walk. With this level of detachment, there is naturally an even greater appreciation for the moments we do have. We can live much more fully. One way or another, sooner or later, our time here will end and we will then have no choice but to let go. If we can find this level of detachment before that point arrives, we can live all our moments with greater appreciation and joy, really present to the time that is ours.

Shivana Anand talks us through seven steps she took to become more involved in the dental community.
I encourage anyone to do any of these seven steps and see where it takes them. First and foremost I wouldn't have endeavoured to broaden my horizons and get involved within the dental community if I did not have guidance from my parents to do so and the motivation, passion and reinforcement instilled into me by my dental mentors. It is always good to have role models and someone to guide you through with all that you do, however weird and wonderful the problem may be.

Wireless Is Transforming Retail On All Fronts: Here's How
Retail is undergoing a massive evolution, the speed and scope of which we have never seen before. Traditional and non-traditional competition is causing a complete reevaluation of the business model. Consumers armed with smartphones have more information and demand everything from best pricing to immediate product availability. Retailers are moving to smaller format stores, embracing omni-channel, reducing costs and investing heavily in technology.
Why Retailing Needs RFID In An Omni-Channel Environment
The term "brick and mortar" which is often used to describe physical retail stores conjures up images of permanent brick walls built by skilled masons. It's meant to describe a physical store versus a virtual online storefront, but the phrase also implies a building crafted to represent a store brand and the products it sells. A physical brick and mortar store is a place where customers can see, evaluate, and experience the products and services representing a retailer's brand.
Global Growth Of Logistics In The Retail Industry
The logistics industry is experiencing growth at exponential rates on a global scale. Projected growth rates are highest in Asia-Pacific at approximately 16 percent, followed by North America with approximately 11 percent and Europe with approximately 8 percent. The high growth regions in China and India are main contributors to the higher growth rate in APAC. What is driving these growth rates? The growth of 3PL can be attributed to three main factors: Re-Shoring, traceability and omni-channel distribution models.
Seven Order Fulfillment Strategies To Fast Track Your E-Commerce Business Growth
Most e-commerce businesses start small, fulfilling daily orders using manual processes and handling growth by simply adding more staff, more shifts and more storage.
Launching Omni-Channel Commerce At Laura Canada
Sam Barnes, Director of eCommerce at Laura Canada, explains Laura Canada's omni-channel commerce vision and launch with OrderDynamics. Laura Canada is a 100+ store apparel retailer with a national presence across Canada and places a significant emphasis on customer service. The company turned to OrderDynamics (ecommerce and retail order management solutions) to launch its initial ecommerce website with sophisticated omni-channel commerce features such as single view of the customer, real-time inventory look up, cross-channel loyalty and more to please their loyal customers and gain a competitive advantage over competitors.
Retail Mobility: The Danger Of Putting All Your Eggs In One Basket
Five Reasons why using a single mobile device manufacturer increases risks and costs.
Retail Tag And Label System Improves Distribution
In the apparel industry, distribution to multiple destinations has to be precise and fast. The customers of a famous clothing manufacturer in Japan asked their department stores and wholesalers to examine their logistics management to try and improve accuracy, and the speed of deliveries.
Item-level RFID Is The Cure For Out Of Stocks
Let's start with the "disease"! Once deemed incurable and just treatable, out of stocks and overstocks for retailers have always been a big hairy problem. If you do not have the right mix of product or specifically the style, size and color as in the case of footwear and apparel you pretty much lose the sale, add unneeded cost and in many cases lose the customer too!

Riding Dirty-------
Acne Studios has rarely met an out-of-the-box idea it hasn't liked. So though for most labels, publishing its own limited-edition collection of rodeo-rider portraits from a mid-century physique photographer wouldn't be the first order of business, here it is. And so last night, with its usual clutch of models in tow—Hanne Gaby Odiele, Jacquelyn Jablonski, Ji Hye Park, et al.—Acne launched Rodeo, a hardbound book of photos from the collection of New Yorker critic Vince Aletti. Must be something in the air lately. As Hedi Slimane's latest editorial suggested: Cowboys—they're a thing.
Bruce of Los Angeles, little-known except among physique-photo aficionados, has nevertheless been influential among later photographers. Aletti traced elements of his style in the work of Mapplethorpe, Herb Ritts, and Bruce Weber. (The similarities were in some cases so striking, you could probably have bylined the book Bruce of Los Weber.) "It's clear that he's looked at it and had some appreciation of this period of work," Aletti said between tête-à-têtes with Fran Lebowitz last night. "And I'd imagine he knows [of] some other photographer named Bruce."
Unlike much of the photographer's oeuvre, these rodeo shots are naturalistic, of real guys (rather than models) in their own clothes (rather than nude). Of course, exceptions apply. In any case, Acne took the opportunity to create a little capsule collection of clothes around them, too, for those who prefer to wear, rather than page through, their vintage beefcake. There are T-shirts, glammy cowboy boots stitched with appliqués of cowboys, and the traffic-stopping shirt modeled last night by the label's Louise du Toit, available at Acne shops now.
Milestones In "Brooklyn Style," Part MMDCLIX-------
Eustace Tilley, the New Yorker's monocled avatar, has traded in his dandy finery for beanie, beard, and visit to Smorgasburg. (Also of note: He and Kate Moss appear to have the same anchor tattoo.) "Brooklyn's Eustace" is the cover star of this week's anniversary edition of the magazine, the submission of artist Simon Greiner. Cries of Brooklyn jumping the shark to begin (again) in 3, 2, 1…
Suzy Q's? We've got A's-------
Front-row fashion-watchers tend to be in one season, out the next, but one woman is a fixture: Suzy Menkes. Anyone who's been to a show has likely seen the International Herald Tribune's critic, her bangs flipped into that signature top-roll, typing away on her mini computer (long before any blogger picked up on the trend, it should be noted). She's written over 1.7 million words for the Trib, where she's served as fashion editor since 1988. She's both a tough critic and a nurturing presence—or, to put it more bluntly, as Kate Moss did when speaking to the New Yorker, she's "like a slightly mad auntie." During the upcoming menswear shows at Pitti Uomo, Menkes will be awarded the Fiorino d'Oro, an honor given by the Municipality of Florence to individuals who have greatly contributed to social and cultural development. For anyone in need of a primer on Menkesism, a few key moments in her rise and illustrious career:
—Menkes attended her fist couture show—Nina Ricci—while living in Paris and studying dressmaking during her gap year between high school and university.
—While at university, Menkes would sneak into the Paris show venues at 5 a.m. and hide under the stage until she could creep out and watch the collections walk down the runway.
—In 1991, during a Michael Kors show in an apparently derelict loft, a piece of the ceiling fell on Ms. Menkes' head. The mishap caused her to deem New York fashion week "second rate." But there was a silver lining—the incident caused New York's designers to show their future collections in a single, less dilapidated, location—Bryant Park.
—In the nineties, Menkes prompted what was, perhaps, one of fashion journalism's earliest open letters when she declared that the classic quilted Chanel bag was "over." The house took out a full-page ad in the Tribune in protest.
—In 2007, perturbed by Marc Jacobs' infamously tardy Spring 2008 show (it began two hours late), and unimpressed with his collection, Menkes wrote a review titled "Marc Jacobs Disappoints With a Freak Show." Naturally, a fashion feud ensued. Jacobs eventually attempted to make amends by leaving a Marc Jacobs T-shirt on Menkes' seat at that season's Vuitton show. The shirt featured a drawing of the designer and critic side by side, as well as a "love note." The note she may have appreciated; the gift, maybe not. She famously refuses all gifts, saying, "I was brought up to believe a girl should never accept anything but flowers and chocolates."
—In 2012, Menkes reached her latest pinnacle: animation. Disney artists created a cartoon Suzy to sit front-row for the festivities surrounding the Barneys New York and Disney holiday windows.
The New Yorker Showcases Street Photography's Greats-------
Though we're avowed fans of street style at this Web site, we're willing to concede that there can be more to street photography than documenting what Anna Dello Russo wore today. To coincide with an exhibition of the legendary Alfred Stieglitz's work this past fall, the Seaport Museum commissioned photographer and filmmaker Cheryl Dunn to create a documentary, Everybody Street, about Stieglitz's heirs, the many twentieth-century photographers who have used the city's vibrant streets in their work. This week, The New Yorker is airing clips from the doc on its Photo Booth blog, featuring short interviews with Mary Ellen Mark, Bruce Gilden, and Joel Meyerowitz, all incisive observers of human behavior in public spaces. "The hardest photography to do is street photography," Mark says in the clip below. Stieglitz, for one, would have agreed. "My picture 'Fifth Avenue, Winter' is the result of a three hours' stand during a fierce snow-storm on February 22nd, 1893, awaiting the proper moment," he wrote in 1897. Hey, at least he didn't have to contend with the swarms of snaparazzi who surround ADR.
Concerning The It Bag-------
This week's New Yorker takes an in-depth look at one of fashion's most intriguing (not to mention most tight-lipped) personalities: Tomas Maier, the German-born creative director of Bottega Veneta, who's credited with bringing the label back from the brink of bankruptcy. How'd he do it? By embracing discretion and insider-style luxury when the world was still at the height of logomania-and its most visible avatar, the It Bag.
"There was a stage when, however unappealing something was, if it had enough logos written all over it, somebody seemed to buy it," Suzy Menkes tells the magazine, calling the period "a worldwide aberration." Maier is on the record as anti-It Bag, too: It is "totally marketed bullshit crap," he says. His rejoinder to it: the woven, unfeminine Cabat bag, left, which is painstaking to craft (only one person can work on any single bag, because no two people pull the leather to the same tension). But of course, the Cabats are notoriously expensive-up to almost $80,000 for a special-order croc model and produced in limited quantities, so there's frequently a wait list for one. Tom Ford-who hired Maier for the Bottega position when he ran Bottega's corporate parent, Gucci Group-sums up the paradox in what could pass for a fashion-world Zen koan: "By not doing the It Bag, you do the It Bag," he says.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 212 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Coltrane Aspen Hotel I was awakened each morning by the loud beeping noises of all the trucks backing just outside my window with the attendant beeping noises. Many private events occurred during my stay probably necessitating those deliveries, but at those prices, I would have expected at least to be able to sleep past 6:30 which is when those noises started. They contented throughout the day so no naps. I attempted to go to the pool on 8 or more occasions. Each time there was no seating available. All of the chaise chairs were occupied the entire trip. August 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by NextTrip Excellent Conceirge Services We have experienced the best concierge services ever while staying here for 4 nights for a vacation trip. Two weeks prior to our arrival, we were contacted by Stephanie, the hotel Chief Concierge on providing assistance in booking restaurants, airport pickup, information on sightseeing or any activities/events around town we like to attend during our stay. For two weeks, we exchanged several emails with Stephanie on restaurant preferences, hiking/biking trails, biking rental, transportation to/from the hotel, meeting musicians at backstage after concerts, and etc. All questions were promptly answers with detailed information along with a day by day itinerary including restaurant reservations, an excellent hiking guide listing all major trails, biking rental coupon and more. Her excellent services saved us a lot of trip/activities planning time, in addition, we had three fantastic dinners at BB's, Aquolina and Wild Figs based on her recommendation. This is what I called going for the "extra mile" to make the hotel guests feel welcome even before we arrived, and ensuring we have a great time during our stay. Martin, the Bartender, makes excellent drinks and also talked about St. Regis Bloody Mary history and the mural behind the bar. It was quite entertaining. The reason I didn't give the hotel a five star is because of its uneven services we received with the Butler Staff for our suite and the breakfast serving staff. Some staff members seemed to be very well trained but the others appeared lost. Since we are SPG members receiving complimentary breakfasts, it was not that clear for the breakfast staff as to what are the complimentary items. One recommendation I would like to suggest is to put all the complimentary and upcharge info on a nicely printed "SPG Member Breakfast Menu" card. This way, the wait staff does not need to remember what's comp and what's not comp. August 19, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by Coaspen2014 Hotel has great decor Staff needs help This is a beautiful hotel. The staff needs more help. Service was very poor with long wait times and not many staff members available at the bars, restaurant or swimming pool. Quality of food is reasonable but quantity is light for the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fassberg Great hotel, romm with one small drawback Everything was great at St-Regis Aspen, except for the room lighting. Maybe something was broken, but I could not get much lighting in the main room even when switching on all lights (including the floor lamp). Otherwise, an excellent hotel. August 2, 2014
