"Reflecting upon the news and the current state of affairs, it is striking how events are playing out according to script, as history and strategists have predicted. In the beginning of our journey, it was focused on discovery, historical context and understanding as to what had changed about markets, governments and people. The answer is almost everything if one looks just at our lifetimes.
On the other hand, nothing has really changed if one takes a longer view. One of our favorite sayings is, "The only thing new is the history you have not read"....
Continue reading the Robert Fitzwilson piece below...
To hear the man with over 40 years of experience in the resource
markets and how he is positioning his clients to weather
the current financial storm click on the logo:
"We can vouch for that. After a review of much of the last 2,600 years, we have concluded that we are not the historic anomaly that we surmised at the beginning of the journey. In fact, we are simply repeating the same cycles and mistakes that all of our ancestors have made before us. Every culture throughout history has done exactly what we are doing now. The only difference is that this time it involves the entire planet.
As we read history, paper money was not designed to be an asset. It was an intermediary between sellers of goods and services. A seller might not have an immediate purchase in mind, so receiving a paper receipt that could be redeemed at a later time, and even at another location, was both efficient and much safer than receiving payment in gold or silver. The return trip from Rome to London was perilous under normal circumstances, let alone if one was returning with precious metals.
In our era, these receipts have taken many forms. Even the cash in our pockets is a derivative. In technical terms, it is a zero-coupon, perpetual obligation of the issuing government. In essence, the writing on the paper currency is promising "somebody owes you something, someday".
The post-WWII monetary system began at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. It began to unravel in the middle of the 1960s, but the mortal blow was struck by President Nixon with the suspension of dollar/gold convertibility. It has certainly been a long "suspension".
Almost every ugly chart relating to the growth of debt and money can trace it's roots to 1971. The evidence is incontrovertible. The value of the ancient form of receipts has been sliding ever since. The slide has not been linear over that 40-year period, but it certainly went into free-fall 12 years or so ago.
In the past, rulers created money out of something considered to hold value, often gold and silver. Seignorage was the right of kings to make a profit on that money. Unlimited seignorage was impossible as supplies of gold and silver came and went, and it was expensive to mint the coins.
With the use of paper and now electrons to create money, we now have unlimited seignorage. Money is created out of nothing, and you can see how it has been abused in the post-1971 charts. The abuse is accelerating on a massive, global scale. Cash and other derivatives have replaced our markets. Profits were to be made on creating and trading derivatives, not providing real goods and services. The real aspects of our economies continue to function, but the derivatives dwarf the size of the real global economy.
Much has been written about the historic confluence of our population growth coming together with the exponential endpoint of our resources. The same can be said for our money. Our resources are finite. The ability of our planet to sustain a population is finite.
We are now witnessing the exhaustion of our savings and real assets and our ability to sustain an exponential growth in money and derivatives. Unlimited derivates are hitting the proverbial brick wall, and their collapse will destroy everything based upon them, it is just history. This cycle has been repeated time and time again.
We also believe that we are approaching the end of a wonderful 200-year period in human history, driven by the industrial and technological revolutions. The exponential usage of resources and our population growth began almost precisely 200 years ago. If we combine this resource endgame with various groups which are desperate to maintain power or inflict it on others, it is a very toxic historical "soup".
As to the resolution of what comes next, it is impossible to say. There are too many moving parts, or 'Black Swans' as people say. All we can do is to pay careful attention to events as they unfold, looking for clues as to how this mess will play out.
For our portfolios, the message is clear. Get out of paper assets that can be destroyed by the unlimited seignorage, and convert them into real assets. The end of the fiat money system will come swiftly, and perhaps overnight. It cannot be too far off at this point.
Changes are coming, but it doesn't mean the world will come to an end. But financial regime changes do result in a massive transfer of wealth from those who own paper assets, to those that own real assets. Historically, gold and silver are traditional safe havens.
Despite what we read, the physical supply of these metals is becoming diminished for a variety of reasons. Waiting too long to purchase them could result in the inability to do so or certainly being forced to buy at much higher prices."

text: Items 13 to 24 of 124 total Previous 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 ... 11 Next View: 12 / 24 / 48 GREAT By JWEPPEL on 3/13/2014 JWEPPEL would recommend this product to a friend I AM NOT USING THESE ON A WAVE MAKER. SO FAR EVERYTHING IS GREAT.GOT 2 ON A 75GAL. REEF TANK Do not use on a wave maker. By David on 2/24/2014 David wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I purchased two of the 1500 gph's for my 90 gallon tank as an upgrade for the wave timer, I had been running two older 800 gph power-heads and wanted more water moment. After installing the new Hydor units it became apparent that you could no longer sit in the same room with the wave timer on. The clicking that the heads made was so loud. After 24 hours of use they came out of the tank. I am currently using one as a stirring pump in my salt water barrel. Pump is good for water movement but do not use on a wavemaker. Noisy when used with wavemaker By Pegasus on 2/17/2014 Pegasus wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I bought three 1150's when I was using a NaturalWave pump timer, and they did okay. I bought a Red Sea Wavemaster and another 1150. The constant clicking/clacking from the pumps on startup was driving my wife and I crazy. It was SO annoying! I sold three on ebay, kept one for mixing saltwater, and bought 4 Sicce Voyager 3's. What a difference... I can actually take a nap in the same room now. Yes, the V3's were more expensive, but they are well worth it. Totally silent startup and running make my tank much more enjoyable. However, these pumps are fine if they are constantly running. On a wavemaker... not so much. Could be better By Could be a great powerhead on 2/17/2014 Could be a great powerhead wouldn't recommend this product to a friend At first I really liked these powerheads, I have 3 of the 1150's and one 600. I have the flow set up like a wave surge, 40 seconds on 5 second rest oscillating from one end of the tank to the other. All controlled by my Apex. In the last 6 months I have had to replace 3 of the covers due to the pump starting in reverse and breaking the rubber stopper piece off. Hydor mails them to me for free but this is getting to be a real pain in the butt! I put them in a vinegar water bath every 60 days so calcium build up is NOT the cause of the pumps starting in reverse. Also,only my 1150 model has this issue. I would hope that Hydor has fixed this problem in the newer models. Just what i expected By Bradb90 on 12/14/2013 Bradb90 would recommend this product to a friend Very good product. It is well built, made of high quality materials and I expect it to give me many years of use. I bought two of the 850gph for my 60g and they do the job just fine. I definitely recommend this product. Just what I was Looking For By Marc on 12/10/2013 Marc would recommend this product to a friend Using the 850GPH as a circulation pump in a 55 gallon. Works as advertised. Seems to be the right size for my tank. Perfectly silent, very easy to mount with suction plus magnets. Exactly what I was looking for and about $25 less than at local aquarium store. As Good As Advertised By lobro4 on 12/8/2013 lobro4 would recommend this product to a friend Just take them out of the box and put them to work. Simple and effective. Quiet. Magnet good and strong for mounting. Love these pumps By Dioncuda on 12/8/2013 Dioncuda would recommend this product to a friend Well lets see,for the money they are awesome.I just wish they were smaller and put out the same flow. That being said, you forget about the size when you see the flow they put out and everything opens up. Time for a bigger tank:) Great pump By sean on 11/20/2013 sean would recommend this product to a friend These are great circulation pumps. Have two of them in my tank. Nice Flow and Silent By Jake Wilkerson on 10/15/2013 Jake Wilkerson would recommend this product to a friend Silent operation and gives great flow. I've owned these in the past and as long as you keep them clean they'll give you years of great service. Positive By Hatonhed on 10/13/2013 Hatonhed would recommend this product to a friend The hydors work great! They are easy to mount and perform flawlessly. It would be to anyone's benefit to own a hydor koralia pump! HORRIBLE! By William on 9/29/2013 William wouldn't recommend this product to a friend They are absolute junk. Yes they work great the first 9 months, but I can almost guarantee that they will start running backwards....if you don't believe me, go on any reef website or Google Koralia running backwards and you will see. You have to send for replacement parts. All 3 of mine have done the same thing and they are 11 months old as of this post. BRS...PLEASE STOP SELLING THESE!!!

The warmer temps melted some of the residual snow yesterday, but refreezing overnight made black ice a concern for drivers in Cass County Wednesday morning.
Police say slippery streets caused multiple accidents across the area as people started on their morning commutes.
One driver heading east on Redfield St. near the state line hit a patch of black ice and lost control of his vehicle. Officials say after the man crashed into a brick mailbox he continued to slide until his vehicle hit a tree.
The accident was cleared up quickly, and no one was injured, but police are advising people to exercise caution and look out for ice on the roads.

Skyhook vows to take Google suit to bitter end
The CEO of Skyhook Wireless has vowed to take the company's lawsuits against Google to the bitter end and – "one way or another" – get its location services onto every Android phone. In September, the Boston-based Skyhook – which offers a service for pinpointing a mobile device's location via Wi-Fi signals – launched two suits …
Drop our competitors software or else? Where have I heard that before?
In other news Google announced the completion of the move of it's headquarters to Redmond Washington. Speaking at the "two Microsoft way" campus a spokesperson stated that coming to redmond felt like coming home and the neighbours are "our kind of people"
Google never said drop it. And yes this article is misleading, and it's biased is introduced by the complainant.
Google has positioning builtin to its os, and this is required for meeting the requirements for using android market, and standardised apps etc.. BUT you can install skyhook too if you want. It is not prohibited. When Motorola asked google for a discount as they already had contracts for positioning google said no, as its a core component. Google did not tell motorola that they must not use skyhook, they said skyhook is not a substitute for a core component. Motorola then decided they did not need skyhook and terminated contracts.
I do not expect to have to buy a steeringwheel seperatly to my car, nor do I see a thriving market in steeringwheels. skyhook should wake up and accept it.
Lets say though that you run a luxury car showroom. You think the steering wheels on the new BMW's look a bit plain, especially when compared to these amazing independently produced steering wheels. You decide that you're going to swap them over as you want to give your customers something a bit special and different, but as you do BMW tell you that they'll stop providing spare parts to your service department and you wont be getting next years model.
("[Google forced handset makers] to terminate contractual obligations with Skyhook [and] to sacrifice superior end user experience with Skyhook by threatening directly or indirectly to deny timely and equal access to evolving versions of the Android operating system and other Google mobile applications," the suit reads.)
Surely if you're replacing the steering wheels only and meeting that warranty yourself its none of their own damned business?
@Chad H
Two things:
1) From a dealership point of view, BMW actually will not allow them to deviate from selling it's cars in factory form, pretty much without exception.
2) From a customer perspective, if you buy a new car, then change various parts of it for after market parts, that will void your warranty, and while you will be able to get "support" for your car, you will pay through the nose for it.
Sorry, your analogy doesn't hold up for me.
Disabling the saftey features in the vehicle, (ie the steeringwheel airbag) can in some countries put the vehicle into limp home mode. take the car to a BMW garage and all they will do is fit a new BMW steering wheel.
bad example as this reinforces the original AC's point.
No thanks
""one way or another" – get its location services onto every Android phone."
Is there any way to make sure neither of them can get location services onto my phone unless I specifically ask for it? The creepy bastards.
Don't install any apps.
As the AC above has pointed out that this is a "core component" and Google have it "built into its OS", that should probably read: "Don't install Android.".....
Unless of course you can be sure that Google will never use it to track you* and only apps will.
*Define "evil". I suspect that "improving the end-user advertising experience" is considered to be on a par with puppies, love and soft-centered luxury chocolates at Google.
is it just me
...or does it seem that more and more lawsuits are fairly much just publicity stunts?
This is a publicity stunt and a way to get money out of a big company.
Skyhook greatly exaggerated the quality of their coverage and accuracy in order to promote themselves as the superior product. That's actually fine if they want to be aggressive about their marketing -- it's the job of their customers (OEMs) to check up on whether it's true. Turns out many original developers using Skyhook (like Apple) found that they could get better location information elsewhere and for cheaper.
The real problem is Skyhook misused their position to masquerade as GPS data (which takes priority in many Android applications because it's considered groundtruth i.e. highly reliable in terms of its accuracy.) This is particularly bad for developers who use this GPS data to provide precise analysis or instructions to users. Their self-serving misuse of the system meant that developers would have no indication that the data being passed was not a GPS signal but rather just an estimate (potentially hundreds of meters off) leading to a terrible user and developer experience.
through this: http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2011/02/skyhook-vs-google-defense-of-open.html
google IS evil
Read it.
> google IS evil
If Florian says that Google is evil, that's pretty strong evidence that they're saints...
Skyhook got a patent...
...on working out where you are from what you can see/sense? Dear gods. Did no one mentions the old shipping navigation system (forget name, sorry) that uses known, fixed masts and figures out where you are by looking at the signals?
Of course Google did this
They need you to accept the "Allow Google's location service to collect anonymous location data. Collection will occur even when no applications are running." terms which feeds them all the data they need to have a location service.
Without users feeding them GPS coordinates and tower IDs for free they would never have this service working. Lots of money riding on being able to provide this. They need as many as they can get to cover all networks and locations.
Not exactly.
Google collects and retains the data in part of their LBS activities.
When Google does their drives they collect signal strength and IDs of available wi-fi networks.
Since most wi-fi stations don't change and are almost always on... they can map you based on what they see. In urban environments where you have tall buildings making it difficult to get accurate GPS coordinates... well... you supplement this by Wi-Fi signals.
So you can increase accuracy because Google had done the mapping already. They don't need your GPS data. They want it because its more information about you and where you go to shop and what you are interested in.

Federal IT officials prefer private or hybrid cloud models over public clouds, many state and local governments are using virtualization to achieve cost efficiencies, and many higher education IT pros see significant benefit in a national cloud for higher education. However, the distinction between virtualization and cloud computing causes some confusion at the organizational level in public sector, security guidelines need to address cloud environments more specifically, and organizations with exit strategies for their cloud presence are rare.
These are some of the findings of the Pulse on Public Sector Virtualization and Cloud Computing Study commissioned by Quest Software Public Sector, Inc., a subsidiary of Quest Software. The survey was conducted by the School of Graduate and Continuing Studies at Norwich University, the national's oldest private military college, and a National Security Agency (NSA) and Department of Homeland Security Center of Excellence. The study reveals new and significant data on virtualization management, cloud computing attitudes, and barriers and incentives to cloud adoption, as well as on cloud computing's impact on resource management, mandate compliance, and security standards. If you're a public sector IT professional, you'll gain additional insight into today's virtualization and cloud implementations, and into effective paths forward, by reviewing the comprehensive and sometimes surprising results of this survey.

A new ESF position paper calls for increasing use of ICT to deliver health and social care services.
A new position paper, Developing a New Understanding of Enabling Health and Wellbeing in Europe, published today by the European Science Foundation, highlights the need for change in health and social care across Europe.
As social care and informal care are essential to improving health and preventing health problems, especially in an ageing population, there are still large gaps of knowledge in how best to organise this, and how best to combine it with health care. The position paper sees Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which are increasingly deployed in service sectors to enable consumer customisation and better resource management, as the way forward for improved healthcare.
The publication presents a vision for a new model of integrated care support for citizens' health through linked social and health care. It exposes current developments and challenges concerning demographic changes, ageing and established a concrete research agenda for ICT application focussing for instance on the relationship between patients and carers, the acceptability of ICT, the role of data, the organisation and legal aspects or the financing challenge.
Developing a New Understanding of Enabling Health and Wellbeing in Europe underlines that "Research programmes need developing at national and European level to stimulate a comprehensive and cohesive pattern of social science research into the means of achieving optimal ICT support as the enabler for a new integrated and partnership paradigm of health-related care".
It highlights a number of priorities for important advances to be made toward the harmonisation of healthcare delivery and informatics support:
This position paper is an outcome of the European Science Foundation's Exploratory Workshop 'The Challenges of Developing Social Care Informatics as an Essential Part of Holistic Health Care' held 21-23 July 2010 at Keele University (UK) with the participation of 23 international academics engaged in health care and informatics professions and disciplines together with legal, ethical, economist and patient interests.

Workshop and Public Talk
Monday, November 17, 2014
4:00pm, Pugh Hall 120
Public talk: "Creative Europe: Visual Culture From National to European Style"
Europeanization is a term of social scientific analysis largely ignored by the humanities; moreover, Europeanization has been a term largely associated with economic and political transformations within the expanding EU and not an explicit question of culture. However, with the start of 2014, the new Creative Europe program has come into effect, and it has already had a deep impact on cultural production across the EU and well beyond its borders. The program seeks to harmonize and synergize the cultural and creative sectors across Europe, recognizing them as playing a "big role in the European economy." This cultural policy produces what we can identify as culture industry 2.0. Thus, attention to the program calls upon both social scientists and humanists to develop new paradigms of understanding European culture.
10:40–12:35am, Ustler 108
Workshop "Researching Film Funding: The European Case"
The hands-on workshop is geared toward graduate students in Film and Media Studies but also open to graduate students in other fields who research the impact of cultural policies as well as interested faculty members and advanced undergraduate students.

Despite a lot of critical wrestling fans predicting his failure in Hollywood, Batista is expanding his resume rather nicely. After the success of Guardians of the Galaxy, the former world heavyweight champion has cemented himself into the Marvel Universe, which is red hot right now in the industry. Now, Batista is joining the James Bond universe, where he is slated to portray a villainous henchman named Hinx.
October 13, 2014
While the hot rumors are pointing to Darren Young being eventually revealed by WWE as the man underneath the bunny suit, a lot of fans have been wondering who has been portraying the character on television as of late. Reports have surfaced that developmental wrestler Sami Zayn has been the one in the suit. He apparently portrayed the character on Monday Night Raw and at live events.
September 17, 2014
The hot rumors right now is that WWE is going to prevent Alberto Del Rio from working for another wrestling promotion in the United States for the next year. In exchange, the company will continue to pay him, even though he has been given a release. That has led fans to speculate as to how much money he will be given. The belief is that it will not be the full amount of the contract, as he will not be paid for working live events.
August 21, 2014
Even though the company quickly rehired her, Emma might actually still be in hot water with WWE. The diva was not spotted backstage at Monday Night Raw or Smackdown this week. The belief is that the company has sent her home for the time being. Many believe that it will be quite some time before Emma is allowed back on television.
July 10, 2014
Rumors going around right now has WWE giving the world heavyweight championship to a heel at Money in the Bank 2014. The belief is that the company will set someone up to feud with John Cena and Daniel Bryan over the next few months. Antonio Cesaro has been rumored for a few weeks now, but some are skeptical of that because he hasn't been given a ton of momentum by WWE. Management will either hot shot the belt to Bray Wyatt or go with the safe route in Randy Orton.
June 16, 2014
Earlier this year, the hot rumors were that Kenta Kobayashi was going to be signing with WWE after the Japanese star came to the United States and did a tryout for the company. The industry was a bit shocked recently when it was announced that Kobayashi was leaving Pro Wrestling NOAH, his longtime home. The belief is that he no longer wants to work the physically demanding style in Japan.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHT On July 23, 2011, at 0830 mountain daylight time, a Hawker Beechcraft G36 Bonanza, N536BB, sustained substantial damage following a loss of engine power and subsequent forced landing at Friedman Memorial Airport (KSUN), Hailey, Idaho. The airplane was registered to, and operated by the pilot under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91. The private pilot, the sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. The pilot's planned destination was Aurora State Airport, Aurora, Oregon. Visual meteorological conditions (VMC) prevailed and an instrument flight plan was activated. The pilot reported that shortly after takeoff he retracted the landing gear and the engine lost power about 100 feet above ground level. The pilot then lowered the landing gear and landed on the remaining runway. He reported that the airplane was 20 to 25-degrees left of runway heading when it touched down; the airplane subsequently exited the runway and collided with a taxiway sign before it came to rest.The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.PILOT INFORMATION The 58-year-old pilot held a private pilot certificate with ratings for airplane single-engine land, and instrument airplane. The pilot reported that his total flight experience was 314 hours, with 111 hours in the accident airplane make and model. The pilot held a third-class medical certificate issued in September 2009. The medical certificate carried a limitation that required he have reading glasses available. AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe G36 Bonanza, serial number E-3854, was a six-place, low-wing, retractable gear airplane manufactured in 2008. The airplane was equipped with a Garmin G1000 integrated flight instrument system that incorporated a primary flight display (PFD) and a multi-function display (MFD). A review of the maintenance logbooks revealed that the most recent annual inspection of the airframe was performed on June 8, 2011 at a total time of 439 hours. The most recent annual inspection of the engine was performed on June 8, 2011 at a total time of 439 hours.The airplane was delivered from the factory powered by a Continental Motors IO-550-B engine, rated at 300 horsepower (naturally aspirated). On July 30, 2008 the airplane was retrofitted with a Tornado Alley Turbo, Inc., "Whirlwind System II" turbo normalizing system. The airplanes total time at installation was 7.7 hours. METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONThe weather at KSUN during the timeframe of the accident was a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit, a dew point of 28 degrees Fahrenheit and clear skies. The altimeter setting was 30.19 inches hg. AIRPORT INFORMATION Friedman Memorial Airport is located in a mountainous region at a field elevation of 5,320 feet. The airport has two hard-surfaced runways, 13 and 31 respectively, that are 7,550 feet in length. TESTS AND RESEARCHThe Garmin G1000 integrated flight instrument system data was extracted by personnel from the National Transportation Safety Board's Vehicle Recorder Division. The G1000 recorded flight and engine data for the time between engine start and the accident. The data revealed, in part, that during takeoff and initial climb the engine's fuel flow supply increased from approximately 35 gallons per hour (gph) to approximately 45 gph. Shortly thereafter, the engines exhaust gas temperatures (egt) and rotations per minute (rpm) decreased to sub idle parameters.Postaccident examination revealed no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airframe or engine that would have precluded normal operation.An engine and airframe examination report and recorded flight data report is contained in the public docket for this case file. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The airplane is equipped with a dual speed, dual pressure, electric vane type auxiliary fuel pump. The pump is controlled by a single, three-position switch located on the pilot's subpanel to the left of the landing gear handle. A placard on the instrument panel above the auxiliary fuel pump switch reads "AUX FUEL PUMP OPERATION - TAKE OFF AND LAND WITH AUX FUEL PUMP OFF EXCEPT IN CASE OF LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE." The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Approved Airplane Flight Manual Supplement for the airplane (supplied by Tornado Alley) states that the auxiliary fuel pump should be in the off position for takeoff operations below a density altitude of 5,000 feet, and set to the low position for takeoff operations above a density altitude of 5,000 feet. The supplement also instructs pilots to manually lean the mixture to 35 gph if the fuel flow exceeds 35 gph.The Flight Manual Supplement includes a warning that reads "use of the auxiliary fuel pump in the HI position may cause an excessively rich mixture and severely reduce available engine power or even cause the engine to cease combustion completely. The HI position should not be used for take-off unless there is a failure of the engine driven fuel pump."The airplane has two separate fuel flow displays in the cockpit: an analog display that is installed as part of the turbo normalizer installation and a digital readout that is part of the G1000 integrated flight instrument system installation. The turbo normalizer analog fuel flow display is located on the pedestal just below the engine control levers. The G1000 integrated flight instrument system in the G36 airplane displays fuel flow to the pilot digitally on the G100 displays mounted on the instrument panel. The analog display has an upper fuel flow limit (depicted in red) of 35 gph. The digital display incorporates an upper limit and displays in red for fuel flow indication above 27.4 gph; the digital display also incorporated an aural chime if the upper limit of 27.4 gallons is exceeded. The Flight Manual Supplement (Tornado Alley) instructs pilots to use the analog display as the primary indication of fuel flow. The 27.4 gph fuel flow limit displayed on the G1000, and the aural warning, is predicated on the original factory installed engine induction system, not the turbo normalizing induction system.Engines equipped with the turbo normalizer system have fuel flow rates (nominal takeoff) that exceed 27.4 gph, and consequently both the aural fuel flow warning and digital display warning will activate. The pilot reported that during the takeoff roll he observed the digital fuel flow display in red and received the aural warning. He also reported that he may have inadvertently switched the auxiliary fuel pump to the HI position during takeoff.

Remember the Huawei Ascend P1 from
CES? Well, it looks like it could be coming to the U.S., thanks to a recent FCC filing.
Its ultrathin — 0.27 inch thin, no joke — and stylized white-on-black design is the Ascend P1′s beauty that matches the brawn of its dual-core processor, 8-megapixel camera, and a cutting-edge
Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS. I haven't been able to give the phone a thorough examination yet, but based on the features list and what we saw in January, I'd go so far as to call it the Huawei superphone that the U.S., which rarely sees Huawei's top of the line, had always hoped Huawei had in it.
In other words, there's good reason why the "P" in the Ascend P1 stands for Platinum-series. (D, stands for Diamond, by the way, as in the Huawei Ascend D Quad unveiled at Mobile World Congress in February.)
Although there's no official word on a U.S. release schedule, the penta-band Ascend P1 should work on T-Mobile and ATT's networks just fine.
Stay tuned to CNET for more details about this unlocked penta-band phone, which is expected to hit the Pacific Rim in the coming weeks, followed by Europe and Latin America.

(or "Component-Oriented", or "Component-Entity System", or "Entity/Component System" / "ECS")
Entity Systems (ES) are a software technique using Composition rather than Inheritance to build high-performance code-architectures, using a structure similar to relational-databases and/or functional-programming.
Primarily used in Game Development since the early 2000's as a replacement for large, Inheritance-based, OOP architectures, they're now starting to be used in general Software Engineering.
Most ES's today are based on three core concepts (see also: ES Terminology for more detail)
- Entity: A unique ID that tags each game-object as a separate item.
- Component: All the data for one aspect of the object.
- System: All the code for the one aspect of the gameobjects.
Each System runs continuously, performing global actions on every Entity that possesses a Component of the same aspect as that System. The interaction of Components with Systems provides the kernel of a modern Entity System.
NB: Newer articles use the term "Processor" instead of "System", to reduce confusion with the other "systems" (and with the title: "Entity System")

My column in the total mess of the last 48 hours, and the last 15 years, is up on the Post site now.
I guess it takes 52 years to be that disgusted. The last 15 years under Snyder have established him as the worst owner in sports who also spent all the money in the world and actually loved his team. It's an incredibly tough combination to pull off. He's done it.
Most of the worst owners are cheap or poor or want to move the franchise or have some other core flaw. Snyder is just abysmal at every aspect of running an NFL team.
And now he gets to make another set of crucial decisions.

We've noticed a bit of a trend recently - the return of the original supermodel. First Cindy Crawford makes a comeback in a new, ultra-glam shoot for this month's French Vogue - and now Helena Christensen has been revealed as the new face of Agent Provacateur. The original '80s glamazon is dressed in a lace basque and knee-high pirate boots in a shoot inspired by Hogarth's 'A Rake's Progress' and 'Strolling Actresses in a Barn'. Queen It-girl, Alice Dellal also appears in the shoot - just a couple of months after her pals Peaches and Daisy shot an equally raunchy ad for the underwear brand. With Kate Moss also among the AP ad alumni, we can't wait to see who'll be up next to appear as their new face. In the meantime, enjoy Helena Christensen's pirate romp here!

The 546-hour commercial pilot was ferrying an aircraft on a short flight (approximately 8 miles) from a private airstrip to a different airfield. The pilot reported that shortly after departure, he reduced engine power for cruise flight. The airplane started to lose altitude and before the pilot could stop the descent, the agricultural airplane impacted a corn field. The pilot received minor injures during the mishap and the airplane came to rest in the inverted position.

He entered right traffic for runway 27 and noted the surrounding mountainous terrain. He did two rejected landings, and on the third attempt, he realized he was still high but felt that he could land in the first third of the runway.

A huge big thank you to the 32 volunteers and Womble the collie dog who turned out to help clean up the town and surrounding area today the 2nd Feb.
Five teams set off in different directions and within two hours collected 36 bags of rubbish, plus 7 full bags of recyclable material. Other items were a pair of handcuffs! what a find these were.
A team working in the Crelake Ind. Est. had their work cut out collecting a large amount of plastic bottles, drink cans, glass bottles and food packaging. This I feel is being discarded from people working in the area after eating their lunch.
A box of empty silicone containers were found in the hedge opposite a plumbing business.
It seems that people think it quite acceptable to use the hedging around the Industrial Est. as a dumping ground. This is completely unacceptable!
There is a large amount of fly tipping in the hedge at the top of the industrial Est. it was far too much for the Tidy Tavi team to tackle.
This is the 15th Tidy Tavi Day and while we think there is a lot less litter around than when we started our Tidy Tavi days 16 months ago, there are still certain area's that remain litter hot spots.
It isn't a difficult thing to do, so please those of you that throw litter down STOP doing it. Take some responsibility if there isn't a bin close by, find one or take your litter home.
For people working in area's such as Industrial estates where there are no bins, PLEASE discard your rubbish within your work premises and not in the hedges or on the ground.
HELP make TAVISTOCK a litter free town.
If you would like to join our very friendly group, come along the 1st Saturday of each month. We meet at the Wharf at 9.50am.
All equipment provided, please bring your own protective gloves.

Kirsty Henderson, a veteran of four international HODR projects and other volunteering projects worldwide, has written an ebook called 'The Underground Guide to Volunteering' (www.nerdynomad.com/volunteering). Her aim is to provide people who want to volunteer worldwide with the knowledge and confidence they need to make it happen.
People who want to volunteer are often put off by fees charged by the companies who arrange the placement, sometimes up to $1000 per week, or more. Kirsty wants to show these people that the HODR model of free volunteering opportunities is alive and well all over the world. She gives tips on how to find these opportunities, lists helpful websites, interviews a selection of people who have volunteered worldwide in a variety of programs, and also includes a list of organizations in need of volunteers. She talks about managing expectations, choosing a volunteering opportunity that is a good fit for you and gives a lot of practical advice learned through first-hand experience.
'The Underground Guide to Volunteering' costs $14 and $7 of each sale will be donated to HODR with a goal of eventually raising $10,000. So far Kirsty has raised $1000 and she's working hard at adding to that total. Buy a copy or tell your friends and help HODR in the process!

An individual who surpasses qualifications of snatch or cunt, thus becoming coalescence of both.
Snatch + Cunt = Snunt
"Joe is a *&%#ing snunt".
av Amanda Bucket 10 juni 2010
This word derives from the two separate word Snot and Cunt. To be both Snot and a Cunt would mean you have reached snuntness. Typically Snunts are strictly female but have been used on occasional instances towards a homosexual(s).

hello! welcome to be.love.live.!
I'm liz. so glad that you've stopped by. let me tell you a little about myself and this blog you've stumbled upon. (that's me, on the right!)
the background:
a few years ago (2010 to be exact), after nine months of marriage, my wife and i moved to sweden. she's swedish and i'm american, and we're two girls. so, we decided sweden would be the place where we made our first home together. we took our little american cat, packed my bags, and flew across the great wide atlantic to begin our new life.
as a new ex-pat, every single day was an adventure. i was living my dream (thirteen years in the making) of living in europe. i was in love. and life was pretty crazy & amazing. so, i decided to start a blog to celebrate my life in sweden and to share what life was like in sweden with all of my friends & family "back home" in the states.
but, pretty soon, it was much more than that. as someone who has studied and worked with theology, i cannot just document my life without looking at it through some spiritual lens. the name of my blog (belovelive) became my inspiration – an outward expression of what i believed in most; and of the life that i yearned to live.
a life of being. of loving. and of living. (to find out more about what i mean by each of the words: be, love, & live, click on the photo links to the left to explore the categories)
somehow, my blog began to grow and i began to gain friends from countries spread all over the globe. some of these blogging friends even become real-life friends. in addition to creating relationships through the blog, i found myself writing almost daily, sharing my thoughts, inspirations, photos, travels, and adventures. and then an amazing thing happened: the more i wrote, the more i loved writing and the more i knew that this was my passion.
i had begun to follow my bliss.
present day:
in the summer of 2013, my love and i hopped a plane (with our cat in tow again – she's a trooper), and moved to the states. my love, with a student visa, was ready to begin a career change and study graphic design at an american university (you can read her blog here). i was ready to see if i could make anything of this writing passion of mine.
today, i am a freelance writer for an independent, artsy, cultural newspaper in the amazing city of asheville nestled in the blue ridge mountains of north carolina. that's right. it's all so amazing – my wife and i… both chasing our dreams.
we live in a cozy, funky apartment about five minutes from downtown asheville and fifteen minutes from the top of a mountain with stunning views. we are in love with our life here, enjoying every second of this diverse, eclectic, artsy, foodie city in the midst of a gorgeous, natural setting. our days are filled with studying and writing/blogging. but we always find time to enjoy dinners out, a ride on a mountain road, a visit to the biltmore estate, some shopping, a cold beer at one of the local breweries, a glass of wine on our balcony, road trips, days at the park, photo shoots, and most importantly – time with friends & family.
the future:
writing, traveling, and photography have become my passions in life. my new dream is to make this my full-time career. and i am so excited to see where this next phase in blogging leads me… ultimately, i'd love to combine writing, travel, social action, and spirituality.
i can honestly say that i have now written and blogged my way into a life that i never imagined or dreamed was possible – one that is full of inner peace, amazing people, and a celebrations of everyday life. now, that doesn't mean that i have it all figured out, but it does mean that i am much more comfortable on this crazy journey that we call life.
ultimately, though, this blog is not about me anymore. it's about you. of course, what i write and share from my life are about me, but it is my deepest desire to educate, inspire, challenge, and connect with each of you. it's a way to raise my voice and share my story – in an effort to make a difference in the world. the best way i know to do that is to write about the life that i live – because i believe that, while we each have a story to tell, we are all a part of each others' stories and the one, great, story of being human. what we seek individually, we all seek collectively: love and hope and peace and equality.
if you're a first-time visitor, then an extra special welcome to you! take a peek around, and leave your footprints somewhere. i would love to connect with you. i would also love to collaborate with other spiritual, travel, and life bloggers and anyone interested in publishing memoirs.
if you are interested in working with or connecting with me, please email me at email@example.com
with all of my heart, i hope that this blog will be a place that you find rest, comfort, fun, inspiration and love. thanks for stopping by. i'd love to hear about stories from your life of adventures and what inspires you.
namaste. ♥ liz

Insect Pests: What To Expect
Three regional experts offer their thoughts.
By Amanda Huber
Will it be a bad year for insect pest pressure? Three area experts offer their thoughts on insect pest issues this growing season.
Rick Brandenburg, Extension entomologist at North Carolina State University, says that growers in his area are concerned about the hot and dry-weather pests such as beet armyworm, spider mites and lesser cornstalk borers, likely in response to serious problems they had with these pests in 2007.
Expect Hot, Dry Weather Pests
"Lesser cornstalk borer are rarely a problem in our region, and I have no reason to believe they will be in 2008," Brandenburg says. "The same applies for beet armyworms."
However, he says to keep in mind that spider mites can be a problem during even short, dry spells.
"The use of the leaf spot advisory to spray only when necessary and using thresholds to treat for worms has really reduced the threat from spider mites in recent years," Brandenburg says. "Spider mites are a problem when it is hot and dry and we use other products that reduce their natural enemies."
Something Brandenburg is a little more concerned about is the threat from tomato spotted wilt virus, and he urges growers to be wary of it, too.
"We've seen a few more western flower thrips than normal, and the last time we had a serious problem with the disease, we observed the same thing," he says.
"Growers have been using practices that help reduce the incidence of the disease, but since it has not been a problem for five years, some have relaxed a little on using the best options to minimize tomato spotted wilt virus."
Watch For Grasshoppers In Texas
"With the dry winter conditions we have had, we are already seeing numerous grasshopper nymphs in wheat fields, and I am anticipating significant grasshopper problems," Russell says. "As wheat is terminated for planting or dries naturally, nymphs will migrate to greener fields."
He says peanuts can tolerate significant defoliation. However, in seedling development, try to minimize stress and work to insure rapid development.
Russell says to scout peanut fields weekly for grasshoppers, take note of the insects' sizes (nymphs are small and without fully developed wings) and note the distance into the field they have moved.
"A chemical application should be considered if grasshoppers are consuming foliage faster than it is replaced by new growth," he says. "There are several pyrethroids labeled for grasshoppers in peanut, and Orthene 75S and Sevin 80S are also labeled options."
Russell says, like most insects, grasshoppers are easily controlled as nymphs but more difficult to kill as adults.
Mites Might Be A Problem
"Again with dry winter and planting conditions, I would not be surprised to see large numbers of spider mites late in the season," he says. "Typically, spider mites are held in check by beneficial organisms, but when we treat for other pests, or some environmental factor goes to their favor, they increase rapidly in peanut fields."
Russell says to scout peanuts closely for the tiny mites throughout the season. "A 10X to 12X hand lens comes in handy when checking for spider mites.
"If chemical control becomes necessary, Danitol, Omite and Comite II are labeled for spider mite control in peanut."
Russell reminds growers to be sure to read and follow all label directions and observe the pre-harvest interval.
