text: Are there exercises to get rid of cellulite?By Jessica Cassidy, upwave.comUpdated 7:09 AM ET, Tue April 1, 2014Exercise alone won't get rid of cellulite, experts say. But it can help, along with diet and boosting circulation.Story highlightsThere's no way to spot-treat celluliteNutrition and boosting circulation can help Women are more prone to cellulite than menThe rumor: You can exercise away celluliteA lot of workouts are marketed as fat-blasting and cellulite-shrinking. Instructors claim that if you only knew the right moves, your trouble zones would disappear and your body would be dimple-free. But can certain exercises really get rid of cellulite?The verdict: Exercise can reduce fat, but there's no way to spot-treat cellulite"Getting rid of cellulite requires proper exercise, nutrition, proper circulation and the control of fat-storage hormones (that are) more prevalent in the lower body," says personal trainer Ariane Hundt, founder of Brooklyn Bridge Boot Camp. upwave: 5-minute easy lower body workout Just WatchedTips to fight cellulitereplayMore Videos ...Tips to fight cellulite 01:22PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedNew tool to fight cellulite replayMore Videos ...New tool to fight cellulite 01:20PLAY VIDEOTo some extent, genetics determine how much cellulite a person has. So does gender: Women are more prone to having cellulite because, unlike most men, they tend to store fat in their thighs, hips and buttocks.Unfortunately, these factors mean that some people are destined to have cellulite no matter how hard they work out. But there are ways to reduce its appearance. According to Hundt, the keys to a good anti-cellulite training program are: losing body fat, firming the muscle underneath the skin, following a low-carb diet, and boosting circulation and blood flow. upwave: The best fat-loss workout Here are her tips for doing all of that:CirculationEnhance your circulation by getting massages and doing regular exercise that involves strength training and cardio. Taking showers that switch from hot to cold can also boost circulation.DietEating a low-fat diet consisting of lean proteins and veggies is one way to lose body fat. Avoid sugar, starches, alcohol, processed foods and sugary fruit. Lowering your carb intake will also help: Foods with a low glycemic index have been shown to aid in weight loss, according to the Harvard School of Public Health. upwave: Take the challenge! Cut back on sugars CardioInterval training -- which involves varying the intensity of your activity -- is a great way to burn body fat.Strength trainingFirming the muscle underneath the cellulite will help smooth the skin's appearance. Focus on strength-training moves that build up the hamstrings, quads, buttocks and hips. Aim for training the lower body at least two times a week, increasing the weight over time to challenge your muscles. Among the most effective lower-body exercises are: --Step-Ups: Step up on a bench or fitness step, then step down with the same leg. Aim for 20 reps on each leg.--Lunges: Walking or stationary lunges effectively target all lower-body muscles. Take one large step forward and lower your body so both of your knees form 90-degree angles, keeping your front knee over the ankle. Return to starting position. Aim for 30 to 50 reps on each leg.--Squats: Aim for 50 reps, keeping your weight in the heels and your back straight as you extend your hips down and back (like you're sitting in a chair). Try to lower until your thighs are at least paralell to the floor. Don't let your knees extend past your toes.This article was originally published on upwave.com.

Advantage Saddlery
Endurance Saddle
Trail SaddlesFor Sale on eBay Manufacturer: Advantage Saddlery
Model: Endurance Saddle
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: This is actually an ENDURANCE model, but we tried one a few seasons ago for a mare who was a major fit problem. After going through about 5 other saddles, we had the owner of Advantage custom make this saddle for about $900! It has been SUCH a top flight saddle that we now have THREE of them that work for all six of our endurance horses. Katee, the owner, sent the EquiMeasure for the first, but was available come out for the other two horses, then made each one to order.
Likes: All of our riding family members LOVE the superbly light weight of the saddles, especially since they do NOT compromise on either quality or spreading the weight well. They are more of a western style but the space age material the tree is made of saves weight, and the VERY nice leather makes is very durable. Our oldest one is now about years old, and since endurance saddles tend to me measured in miles, not years, I can say that this one has at LEAST 2000 miles on it and still in EXCELLENT shape! We LOVE the quality of leather, the superb stitching work, the well balanced stirrup position, and the numerous rings and such for tying necessities. It comes with stirrups and mohair girth AND pad, so you need only saddle up and giddyup!
Dislikes: The only thing I DON'T like is that I don't have FOUR of them, what with a new younger horse coming up:). My horses don't do well with the mohair girth - most do apparently, but I swap it out for a neoprene then use the mohair girth on my western saddles which I don't use for long rides.
Quality: Space age tree material, light weight and super strong! Leather is sturdy, pliable and beautiful. Top quality endurance stirrups and mohair girth; solidly built, and western style fenders wear like IRON! Tight stitching with no rough edges.
Summary: The fact that we now own three of these saddles speaks for itself. We have ridden in 7 other saddle makes/styles over the past 16 years of competing in endurance, and there just is no other as good for us and our horses. While the price has gone up, it is a CUSTOM saddle, and we do not have to buy a new one every other year as some riders do. I like being able to use the same saddle as long as possible - kind of the way I feel about my horse and my husband!:)

So, in a frontal collision, the driver was effectively at the business end of a battering ram. Then, about the time designers shrunk tailfins, engineers developed collapsible steering columns consisting of multiple parts. Rather than shooting toward the driver upon heavy impact, the column's sections compacted like a telescope. A simple concept, but it's a car safety innovation that's led to better living through less impaling.

The 15 presenters at the charity event, which raises money for pediatric-cancer research, featured some of the biggest names in the hedge-fund industry, including David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital, William Ackman of Pershing Square, Jonathon Jacobson of Highfields Capital, and Jim Chanos of Kynikos Associates. The program lasted nearly seven hours, with only a few short breaks.
The record of last year's Sohn recommendations was mixed (see table) and some investment managers who had the best picks in 2012, including Barron's Roundtable member and Eagle Capital general partner Meryl Witmer, didn't present this year.
Ackman pitched P&G, arguing that it should be able to boost sales-growth and profit margins, which if successful, could lead to $6 a share in profit by the company's fiscal year ending in June 2016, up from an estimated $4 in the current year. If that scenario plays out, P&G, now at $78, could hit $120 in two years. The activist Ackman called the consumer-products giant "one of the great businesses in the world," but said it suffers from a "bloated cost structure" and inefficient manufacturing facilities.

STAN DRUCKENMILLER, a former lead portfolio manager for George Soros' Quantum fund, made a quick pitch for Google, calling it one of the world's "better positioned" companies, with a relatively modest valuation at 16 times 2014 earnings. Druckenmiller, who's now focused on running his own money, spent most of his allotted 15 minutes on commodities, arguing that the "commodity supercycle" that lasted from 2000 to 2011 is over, thanks largely to weakening demand for raw materials from a formerly voracious China. That's bad news for commodity-oriented currencies, including the South African rand and Canadian dollar.
Hardest hit, he observed, could be the Australian dollar, which he said could "come down and come down hard." Australia has been a big beneficiary of the commodity boom, and Druckenmiller said the currency's appreciation has resulted in such things as $22 hamburgers in Sydney.
JACOBSON TOOK ON DIGITAL REALTY, a real-estate investment trust that operates corporate data centers. He said the company could be worth just $20 a share, a fraction of its recent price of $66. Its shares fell 5% on Thursday in the wake of the presentation. He argued that there is too much industry capacity and that Digital Realty vastly understates its capital expenditures when calculating adjusted funds from operations, a widely followed REIT earnings measure. Adjusting for capital spending, Jacobson contends, projected 2013 AFFO falls to about 87 cents a share, versus the Street's $3.90 estimate. The true AFFO, he said, is a fraction of the current $3.12 a share annual dividend. "Do you want to pay three times book value for this?" he asked, arguing that the company is burning through cash and that its dividend "is not sustainable" and "depends on continued access to the capital markets."
In discussing companies with what he called illusory yields, Jacobson briefly warned about Linn Energy line 1.6963528413910094% Linn Energy LLC U.S.: Nasdaq USD11.99 0.2 1.6963528413910094% /Date(1425592800145-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2294713 AFTER HOURS USD12.03 0.0399999999999992 0.3336113427856547% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 23616 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap 3956276105.36339 Dividend Yield 10.428690575479566% Rev. per Employee 2431610 More quote details and news » (LINE), subject of a bearish Barron's article last week. Jacobson argued that "half of Linn's distributable cash flow comes from hedging gains" and that the company needs access to the capital markets to fund its distribution.
Another vulnerable high-yield stock, he said, is AT&T (T), whose cash flow has flattened. AT&T also is exposed to any weakening in the wireless market.

STEVE EISMAN made his reputation with his short bet against subprime mortgages prior to the credit crisis and for identifying abuses in for-profit education three years ago when Wall Street loved the sector. Eisman, founder of Emrys Partners, said the U.S. housing recovery is in its early stages and offers plenty of investment opportunities. He noted that some of the strongest housing markets, including California, Arizona, Nevada, and Florida, were formerly among the weakest. Low housing inventories are fueling a boom in land prices in these markets; some have had 30% gains since the end of 2012.

Ahmed Bani, pictured in September. Story highlightsNEW: Libya's new authorities found mustard gas missiles about a month ago, they sayThe Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons was notified"The United States was notified because it is ... equipped to deal with this issue"Gadhafi agreed to destroy his chemical weapons in 2003 and the project was underwayLibya's new authorities found chemical weapons about a month ago and asked for international aid in securing them, a top military spokesman for the National Transitional Council told CNN Monday."We found mustard gas missiles in Jufra and we asked our friends to come and help us," Col. Ahmed Bani said.He was adding details to the announcement Sunday by the National Transitional Council's outgoing prime minister, Mahmoud Jibril, that two chemical weapons sites had been discovered. Jibril, speaking to reporters in Tripoli, said the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) in the Hague and the United States were notified.Jibril did not provide any details about the sites, their location or when they were discovered.His announcement came the day before NATO was due to declare the end of its mission in Libya.Just WatchedTerror victims seek justicereplayMore Videos ...Terror victims seek justice 03:40PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedGadhafi's fugitive son may surrenderreplayMore Videos ...Gadhafi's fugitive son may surrender 01:33PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedAlleged atrocities by militia in LibyareplayMore Videos ...Alleged atrocities by militia in Libya 02:11PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedDo Libyans care who killed Gadhafi?replayMore Videos ...Do Libyans care who killed Gadhafi? 02:23PLAY VIDEO"Libyans have now liberated their country. And they have transformed the region," said NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Friday. "This is their victory."International inspectors working for the OPCW left in February, the chemical weapons organization said, and do not know what has happened to Gadhafi's stockpiles since then.But U.S. officials told CNN in August that they and NATO had been discussing Libya's chemical weapons store with the transitional council in case the Gadhafi regime fell."The opposition forces are being asked to keep track of what's going on" with both weapons of mass destruction and the regime's inventory of surface-to-air missiles, a NATO official said."We have had direct eyes on the storage facilities" of the weapons for some time, the official said, including the use of satellites, drones and other surveillance aircraft.The official also confirmed that intelligence personnel from the United States and other countries had been in Libya over the summer to help maintain security at various sites. "Individual nations have folks on the ground," he said in August.A U.S. official also confirmed that U.S. intelligence personnel have been involved in monitoring WMD stockpiles inside Libya. Both officials declined to be identified because of sensitive intelligence matters.Jibril said Sunday the OPCW is in direct contact with Libyan authorities and is taking the necessary measures to help Libya deal with the sites.Jibril said the situation would be handled by the OPCW and that a delegation from the organization is expected to arrive in Libya on Thursday."The United States was notified because it is technically equipped to deal with this issue," Jibril said.He declined to give details about the sites or weapons, but said the OPCW will make an announcement soon."By making this announcement, we reaffirm that the new Libya is a peaceful Libya, a Libya that abides by international law, a Libya that aims for development before anything else for the good of its people," Jibril said.Libya's chemical weapons stockpiles consisted of about 9 metric tons of sulfur mustard agent and more than 800 metric tons of precursor chemicals, as of February. The destruction facility was sealed before the inspectors left but the OPCW does not know what happened to it since then. The inspectors' first job when they return will be to determine whether any of the material has been removed. In 2003, Libya agreed to destroy its entire chemical weapons arsenal, which included some 25 tons of mustard gas and 3,300 empty aerial bombs. The entire stock of shells and bombs was literally crushed by bulldozers in 2004.Before the outbreak of the crisis the Gadhafi regime had destroyed 55% of its declared amounts of mustard gas and 40% of its precursor chemicals for making weapons, according to the OPCW.CNN reported earlier this year that Libya still had approximately 10 tons of the deadly blister agent left in its arsenal, according to an assessment from the Arms Control Association. Much of the material was located at the Rabta chemical weapons facility south of Tripoli.U.S. officials say any chemical weapons material that remains in Libya would be difficult to "weaponize" into a form that could be used to conduct attacks.More from africaOne of FBI's most wanted terrorists captured in SomaliaKidnapped at birth, found 17 years laterUganda microchips rhinos to fight poachingPowered by Livefyre

Nerdist Podcast: Anthony Bourdain
By Katie Levine on June 2, 2014
World traveler and brave food enthusiast Anthony Bourdain hangs out with the guys to talk about eating strange food in strange places, his intricate plans when he cooks meals for his family, turning his life around to become a writer and TV host, and how he strives to make his show Parts Unknown different from anything else on TV!
Watch Parts Unknown on CNN Sundays at 9 pm!
Photo: CNN
Yay, I've been waiting for this one since you started talking about it.
I so enjoy all the wonderful things that Mr Bourdain creates, and takes part in and thank you for this delightful share. I dream of meeting him one day as much as I fear meeting him one day lol He is the coolest that is for sure.
My two favorite people talking for the same amount of time I have to be in the car today? Best. Monday. Ever.
I love this man I remember his first cooking show A Cook's Tour he went to Japan in one of the episodes. I was a very big anime fan back when I watched it and that particular episode blew my mind. I was already obsessed with Japanese culture and Anthony seemed to enjoy his time there very much. Dudes way cool and I've been a fan of his ever since that episode and I have watched all his shows and interviews since then. He did an episode of No Reservations in the Philippines and that's where I'm from! I really want to read his books, Mr. Bourdain has a way with people in his shows it's very entertaining. He just makes traveling and cooking look so fun and good. I highly recommend watching the Lebanon episode of No Reservations very touching and moving episode. I cannot think of a single show of his that you shouldn't watch but I do know it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Anthony has his own certain sense of humor but the people he has on his shows all seem to like the guy. I am writing this before listening to the podcast fyi. What more can I say so I'll end with this, if your a fan of cooking/food and travel watch No Reservations
Great podcast!
I lost all respect for this guy based on his Shanghai comments generalizing about the trajectory of an entire continent based on the experience of one posh white celebrity in a tourist city. I spent many years in the rest of the country and it is not posh or technologically advanced. I was tortured in a rural hospital for six weeks while being called a lot of racial slurs instead of a name. Please try to be more respectful of people like me in the future.
So Anthony Bourdain was supposed to temper his personal experiences of Shanghai with the experiences of a person who he's never met nor whose life story he's never heard? (That's you.)
Ok just wanted to clear that up. I hope you're trolling.
While I may not know your full story, I find it disrespectful that you generalize something you experienced in one location to an entire country. As a Chinese American, please try to be more respectful of people like me in the future too.
Love the podcast though, one of my favorite people to talk about food next to Alton Brown.
What a most excellent surprise to find when I checked on new podcasts Sunday morning! Nerdist and Bourdain, two of my favorite people to listen to. Awesome interview Chris.
If you've ever seen his show you would know that he is a massive film nerd.
His show has had more awesome movie references in it than any other.-
Indeed! Even without the films, the sheer volume of his Simpsons references ought to be more than enough qualification.
Awesome podcast. Anthony Bourdain is always a great interview.
I'm a huge Bourdain fan, to the point where I consider him one of my heroes. His attitude to life, the world and food is endlessly inspiring. -
The fact he's seen and loves Hannibal just makes me smile, like… too much. Seriously, I'm sporting a full gwynplaine over here.
I hope he comes back on soon! Great poscast!
This is just another amazing "get" in what will be on of the best catalogs ever created. No joke, Chris you are doing an amazing job. I can't even think of people who you should interview because for all I know you just did and are waiting to air it. Keep up the good work buddy
[…] CNN host Anthony Bourdain blasted MSNBC for pointlessly shrieking to their own like minded viewers on Monday's The Nerdist podcast. […]
The episode ever!!!
When is Nerdist ever about nerdy things? It's an outlet for entertainment biz promotions. These interesting guests are on press tours when they come through here and have these great conversations. Don't forget that. It's all Pop culture here. Pop. Popular. Nerdist. Nerd. Popular. Nerd. See the incongruity? It only kind of works because Chris personally defines nerd not as being annoyingly brainy and catastrophically lacking even minimal social skills, but, as liking something a lot. That's it, that's all it takes. And since everyone likes something a lot, everyone is a nerd. Isn't that nice?
In Nerdistland, watching popular TV shows and movies, playing popular video games, and talking about the most popular memes everyone's seen on Reddit, among the most popular websites on the net, is what makes someone a nerd. !
Case in point, Chris is a nerd. A nerd who has a celebrity girlfriend, drives a Jaguar, has a luxury home in hollywood, and hundreds of people he calls friends at parties. Hahaha… Who ever knew nerds had it so good?Ultimately, you've just gotta get over that word, because it means nothing.
I don't think you've every actually absorbed ANYTHING Chris has ever done. Sure, there are more people who are nerdier than he when it comes to Whovian trivia, but were you in chess club? Are you an experienced bowler? Can you recite Pi to a crazy degree? Nerd is a relative term – it denotes passion for something. Just because the dude has several jobs, makes money via nerdy things, and owns his own home doesn't mean he's NOT a nerd. What you're looking for is an Uber Nerd, which doesn't exist. There is no singular being who can trump your basement dwelling ass on every piece of nerdom, ever. If there is, they're not worth hanging out with. So if you're close to being that being, on behalf of the rest of the debate/chess/art club National Honor Society MENSA members who still carry their Justice League membership cards from the 80s I say, good day to you, you hipster douchenozzlefucker.
Man you sure got my number! Thank you for holding up a mirror that I might gaze upon the grotesqueness of my fraudulent visage. TRUTH SAUCE DRINK IT UP!!!!
well… someone's not enjoying their burrito are they?
@Mikes Lives: you are definitely entitled to your opinion but at least have it be an informed one. I mean, to be fair, you don't know me at all personally. It's totally your right to say, "I think that guy sucks buckets of shit!," but certainly not cool to say, "Hey here's who you are!"
And believe me, if I were parasitic and co-opty rather than determined to pursue things I actually care about, I would have started "The Sportist". There's a fuck ton more money in it.
You are entertaining, Chris, but you are not a nerd. Brilliantly parasitic and co-opting but nothing more – stop apologizing for what you are.
Truth sauce! It's what's for dinner? It's not just for dinner? It goes well with the other white meat? #TruthSauce
I can't even say how much I love CH's response. +1000 Points to Chris!
Is Truth Sauce going to an item in coming shop? I hope so. I'd probably try.
I look forward to listening to this episode.
I couldn't love this guy more. I'm so glad he's out in the world representing the good guy American. But sharing a beer with Ted Nugent — unapologetic racist, gun glorifier, gleeful killer of animals he doesn't eat, serial statutory rapist — might be where I draw the line.
He explained his position on doing that episode with Ted Nugent. Just because you don't agree on with someone, it doesn't mean you can't seat down and have a conversation.

No WAY! I haven't even listened yet, but I've already lost my mind. This unrepentant drinking, smoking, cussing, chef-ing badass is just as cool as I hope to be when I reach his age. I watch his show every Sunday, and have seen every episode of <i>No Reservations</i>. If I gave two shits about Twitter, he'd likely be the only person I'd follow, just to see what awesomeness he chose to project into the ether. I seriously want to hang out with this guy, get drunk, eat food, and bullshit.
So glad you got him on, Team Nerdist. Thanks a ton!
One of the things I like best about this show is it's like getting to hang out with interesting people and get to know them on a personal level as if I was somebody.
Naah don't listen to Anthony! Reykjavík is cool. I'll even buy you a drink.
For real. I love Tony but his episode of No Res in Iceland really missed the mark.
Okay, yeah, *some* of the food is awful. But that's not really the point.
So good to finally have the crew back
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Bourdain is one of my personal heroes. This episode was incredibly enjoyable. Also, Chris, thanks for providing me with endless entertainment. This podcast never lets me down.

Bourdain podcast FTW. Holy shit, what an amazingly brilliant interaction. Bourdain Uncut is so great! Thanks for this episode!
This is probably my single favorite interview I have heard on Nerdist. Tony is possibly my single favorite celebrity.
"The CNN host argued the liberal network would be better off if their hosts took some time to have a beer and eat some barbecue with the conservatives they disagree with."
Actually, that is one of the problems with a dysfunctional Congress. They're a world apart from growing up in a diverse big city (you know it Bourdain, you know it). -
This podcast was SWEEET. Bourdain is the man. Hardwick, another most excellent podcast. Well done!
Chris, loved the podcast! I hope you go to Japan, it is a fantastic place to visit! I have been twice. The summertime is very hot and humid, thankfully they have vending machines everywhere! Since you are a Disney fan, make sure to go to Toyko Disney and Toyko Disney Sea! Both are unique and fun, especially all the Japanglish on the rides.
Make sure to go to Kyoto, they filmed many movie scenes there and it was the Emperors residence until 1868. Very beautiful! You can take the bullet train, which is an experience in itself!
Another day trip by train from Toyko is to the great Budda at Kamakura. It is amazing. You will have to change trains a double of time but it is worth it!
The Lake Ashi and Hokone are a cool relief to the heat too. Hokone has an interesting spa, check it out!
Don't be afraid of riding the trains, just figure out your route a head of time and scope out the stations. You can get maps online. Just don't go during rush hour! You may find you hand on the ass of a stranger. -

Open Letter to Anthony Bourdain
——————————-I have been thinking about this for several days now.
Should I? Shouldn't I? Really, …what's the point?
It isn't as though anyone is really going to read it. It's simply a purging of the soul, my own.
The opening of a vein and the steaming release of tainted blood. So why do I feel so compelled to do it?
And then I realize,like many other things in life, I do it because … I have to.
Because…as someone once said .."I'm mad as Hell..and I'm not going to take it any more!"I have watched your show…for years. Across decades it seems now. I would have to actually research it to
discover when I began. From the times I waited and waded through episodes of Zimmern to finally "find you",
to the days such as now, with the relentless reruns every weekend of regurgitated, half chewed cow bile
oozing from my screen, dripping like stained candle-wax over my Xbox 360 and surround-sound boombox in some
darkened, drunken Monks Inn.And I think to myself…"What the Hell?!?!?!" WHAT happened?"
I can't take it any more. No more. I quit, I'm done..no more for me thanks..I'm driving.Is it me? Am I the one who has finally grown and matured? Was I really THAT naive in the beginning,
to think..that THIS…is what I needed and searched for, like so many of the other meercats I suppose,
rising in unison, noses twitching, paws to chin…"He's here. Bourdain is on!Come everyone! Oh come gather
round the Holy fluorescent light.Let us prostrate and pray at the Altar of Bourdain., For he has risen once
again to bless and raise our consciousness to those otherwise unobtainable heights for us so mere and mortal,
where the air is thin and laced with the residue perfume of absinthe vapors, misting from his now emptied chalice.
Then together, we shall crawl towards the edge of the precipice, scraping the scabs from our knees, so fresh blood
may mark our trail for other of our acolyte brethren to follow,and together we shall leap into the ocean…
good lemmings all …. chanting in fading echos in the sunset…"Anthony….Anthony….Annnnnn….thhooo…nnnyyyy….."
… Like the tolling of a hollow solitary bell in the distance….Ugh…nope. Sorry. Was never one of them. Never part of the "crowd". But I digress. You know what did it?
Any guesses? Nope. Wasn't the second installment of the self-mutilation and (please dear God) subsequent
"Suicide in Sicily", though truth, that probably stirred the tinder. Wasn't even the pomposity…no no no..
Not "pomposity"..but..pompisity! (Pompisity?!?! hmm..pompisity…yes. Let us rejoice in the creation of a
new word, but…credit where credit is due – inspired by the Master of such – Anthony Bourdain.Pom·pis·i·ty
/(pom~piss~ahhh~tee`)/ noun
the quality of being pompous; self-important – the act or portrayal of being "pompous", but at the same time
presenting a facade of self-deprecation, but only to the point where this deprecation is transparent and shallow,
thus easily recognized to be a pretense, and therefor reinforcing and confirming the underlying quality of pomposity.….Yes…so…where was I? .. ahh yes, …. No…wasnt even the pompisity of the Vegas episode, the near ruination
of Granada and the self-adulation of the participants in Tangiers…No, none of that. It took this current Thailand
esipode for me to say…"No. Enough. I've had enough." While I do not currently reside there, the Pac Rim has been
my back yard for decades. I've lived in Tahiti. I've lived in Taipei. Been to Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and the Philippines.
Traveled to Atuona to visit Gauguin's grave…and never left. And I resent your off-handed centile portrayal.
In this and other related episodes.Seriously, do you watch or review any of this shit before it gets released? Do you have ANY creative influence,
opinion, license or control over the trash that bears your own name? Or are you truly the architect of your
own demise? What is the WORLD makes you think that fish-eyed close-ups of toothless natives slurring down bathtub
gin, giggling incessantly while you participate and stare off in a drug induced stupor – is in the least bit
media worthy, artistic or expressive of Thai culture? (yeah yeah, I know. There is a disclaimer at the beginning of
the episode. An "underbelly" episode, to say the least. Not to represent the true culture of the nation.
Best to include such a disclaimer on all subsequent episodes.
"Warning: No worthwhile or otherwise meaningful content to follow."
These people you "pop-eyed". They do not know that you are mocking them. That your minions laugh AT them.Not with them.But then to add to this sophomoric display the backdrop of 1960's Sunshine tab and Acapulco Gold psychedelic oscillating
imagery…and it's complete in its idiocy. Christ. This is EXACTLY this same kind of crap that compelled me to walk out
on a scholarship at Pratt university some forty years ago because I could no longer bear the inundation of "artistic
expressionism" of the pseudo-intellectual "professors" there, prancing about in their bowler hats in midnight graveyards,
grinding out their own home grown film noir masterpieces the mainstream Philistines simply would never be able to comprehend.
Aaahhh, but "Nosferatu" was required "reading" then. Black and white and German. How could it get any better? If only we could
all be beatniks or expats, wallowing about in puddles of our own vomit and urine in some some darkened alley of Tangiers.
Yes, Billy Burroughs all of us. I'm tired of it. I've had enough. You know why people romanticize this shit?
It's just another version of "mob madness". It because they weren't there, didn't live with it or through it. There's
no romance in the mob…New York, Chicago or VEGAS! I've survived surrounded by them. They're mindless, heartless animals,
eyes veiled over like predatory snakes. And there is no glory in deifying William Burroughs. If people met him…they
wouldn't have liked him.He was a homosexual murderer and addict in self-exile to avoid prosecution, who managed to stay
alive while roiling in his own piss and excrement with what little cognitive resources available to him only capable of
shoving another needle into his arm in mindless reflex. Oh yeah, I wanna be like him. Don't get me started on Kerouac.
Friggin "On the Road" was written in a one room apartment in Ozone Park, Queens! And contains about as much truth as "Fear
and Loathing"! He wasn't an alcoholic. He was a DRUNK! About the only worthwhile thing he ever said was "I had nothing
to offer anyone except my own confusion." Amen Jack! How he ever got credited with free thought and "spontaneous" writing
is beyond me. He wrote on rolls of newsprint because if he stopped to refill the typewriter he would have forgotten his train
of thought by the time he returned to the keys. Oh but then there's Thompson. Well..he is endorsed by Johnny Depp, so…what
more does one need? Yeah….Gonzo journalism…that's what I want to aspire to. And where's your "Canticle for Lenny" episode?
What? No kitchen in the Victory? Surely there must be SOME culinary spin you can concoct to explain his bent? I must have
missed that one.You know what I really want to know? Who the HELL ever told you…that you could WRITE?!? I'm sorry Anthony, but you are not
Paul Bowles. And you certainly ain't no Dylan (Thomas that is, fools) or Edgar Allen. These were tormented souls, but capable
of true artistic expression while in their own private hells and miseries. And as far as Burroughs, I'd rather read a good
Edgar Rice than William. I listen to you now and I feel like I'm at a bad "AA" meeting. You know the kind…where it's all
"one-up-manship". The "well, "I" was THIS crazy" meetings. Who can tell the wildest story. Who slept under how many bridges
and overpasses in how many days. Who lost what. Where the scars and trials and recoveries are carried not in modicum or humility,
but displayed like badges of courage and accomplishment.
I'm sorry. Spare me. Been there, done that. And burned the T-shirt. Not hung it from my porch like some pennant of honor.You know why I'm upset? Why I'm venting on you? Because I'm disappointed. And embarrassed. In you, for you. And in myself.
For telling people I followed you. That I at one time looked forward to you. That I recommended you. And now ..I simply
wish I could turn my head and deny it all. It never existed. Forgive me, it was the Patron talking. Espousing this…this…
…J. Peterman "journalist". A bad clothing catalogue. Hey ! I just got a GREAT IDEA!!! Let's get ahold of Jerry Seinfeld!
He could do a comeback episode! You and John O'Hurley! Facing off! Oh..just think of it! The literary possibilities.
And…and…we could have it narrated by George Plimpton!
Oh God, wait a second. Don't tell anyone yet. I've got to get this copyrighted first! This could carry for years! Think of the
residuals! And it seems to me – you're going to need 'em.And so, I must bid you adieu. Richmond is about to come on, and at least one knows not to take him seriously. And as
I heave after enduring that, perhaps I can as well finally loose this "unknown" bile from my system. For if I watch another
(is it "Unknown"? or "Unknowing"? Hmmm…) episode, it is certain you are going to owe me for a new 58″ flatscreen (is OK.
I really want the new "Curve" anyway). Because if I hear you describe ONE MORE culinary experience as being "delicious",
my screams will set off a chorus of neighboring 911 calls as I hurl my glass of black Ceylon through the screen and embed
it in the wall behind.
Because do you know what the word "delicious" signifies and conveys as a descriptive device?Goddamn F$*%&^*ING NOTHING !!! IT'S MEANINGLESS!!!
You might as well jump in the ocean screaming "Goddamn! That water is "wet"!!!…or that seawater tastes "salty"!
Christ. Peabody and Emmy material all. Welcome to the working week.
In all seriousness Mr. Bourdain, take this as it is truly intended. Despite appearances to the contrary, it is a constructive
critique. Physician, heal thyself. For none other will. When it is over, they will turn and devour you, simply another
pour (misspelling intended) punch line at some cocktail party.I WAS going to simply send this as a private message. After all, it is not my intention to make a public disparagement of you.
And if I posted it in "Comments" then the hordes will rise up, calling me "Troll"…no doubt complaining to FB and getting me
banned for a time. But then I thought…what the Hell.. I am a man, and entitled to my opinion on the subject. Surely your
congregation is mature and "intelligent" enough to recognize this indisputable reality. N'est pas, Capitaine, mon capitaine?
But, let it be as it may. For though "they call me rebel and traitor, I feel no concern from it; for I should suffer the misery
of Hell, were I to make a whore of my soul" …and not speak the truth of my mind.Ahhh…I feel spent. But…better now. I hope I have performed some small service for you as well.
Finally, in the words of Andy Warhol, …. "Tick……..tick…….tiiiiii……ccc……kkkk…kk…kk………k."
Or was it Timothy Leary? I forget…… In any case, this one's winding down, dude.I hope you didn't invest ALL your disposable income in those cocoa trees.
Barkeep, light me up another sugar cube, please…
(p.s. – in case anyone is stumpted and Googling the intro – it was Howard Beale. 1976's "Network".)
Hmm. I can imagine you feel spent. It's probably like how you feel when you know you are done throwing up a bad lunch.
I would, however, request that, next time you do this, flush it down the toilet, rather than posting it here, because it reeks of substance abuse.
Thank you. -
wow! Emerald you hit all the "talking points" of inarticulate vomit. Good job

My Digital FC reported that Steel Authority of India is raising INR 600 crore through a commercial paper issuance to refinance its debt and for brown field expansions.
Mr CS Verma chairman of SAIL said that "We are raising the funds through commercial paper mainly to repay a part of our debt. Further the company is also looking at raising funds for its expansion and modernization but we have not yet decided on the amount and time."
Public sector undertakings are thronging corporate bond market as banks and mutual funds evince interest in investing into these issues.
A banker who invested into the issue said that "SAIL rise about INR 600 crore from the corporate bond market with a commercial paper issuance of INR 150 crore each in 4 trenches. The coupon rate for 122 to 127 day paper was 8.55% to 8.60%."
Mr Verma said that "The company has gross debt of around INR 21,000 crore and cash of INR 6,000 crore as of September 30th. So the company keeps assessing the corporate debt market often to repay some of the debt."
SAIL has earmarked CAPEX of INR 14,500 crore in 2012-13 as the final phase of its 5 year, INR 72,000 crore modernization and brown field expansion plan.
After the modernization and brown field expansion SAIL's hot metal capacity will increase to 23.4 million tonnes per annum from 14.6 million tonnes per annum. The company has been funding its INR 72,000 crore modernization and expansion plan through internal accruals and debt.
Mr NS Venkatesh head of treasury, IDBI Bank said that "Companies are borrowing at the shorter end of the curve and not locking in at higher interest rates for a longer duration. If the RBI cuts rates in the mid-quarter on December 18th, the domestic lending rates could fall further. Till then companies will meet their borrowing requirements through short term CP issuances."

1. Houzzers loved the casual contemporary look of this outdoor patio. The fireplace is partially surrounded by a built-in bench with added light fixtures, and cold slate tile contrasts with the terra cotta walls.
2. The wall surrounding this outdoor patio made this photo worth bookmarking for many Houzz users. Houzzers were inspired by the built-in planters and all of the seating that this practical wall provided.
3. Placing an outdoor dining area right outside of a kitchen and indoor dining area is the perfect way to transition your home from the indoors to the outdoors. Houzzers loved the simple setup and the beautiful shade provided by the wisteria on the arbor.
4. This desert patio is anything but barren. The mix of succulents and stone make the space feel full and fresh. Houzz users bookmarked this space for the great modern furniture, the colorful ceramic planters and the pops of orange and blue throughout the design.
5. The blend of materials in this photo caught the eye of modern-landscape-loving Houzzers. The redwood and steel arbor and subtle greenery warm the all-concrete patio.
6. Ipe — a tropical wood — was used in a lot of patios on Houzz this year. Users loved the reddish tone of the wood in this patio and the maze-like feel of the gardens surrounding the space.
7. This lush back patio area is the perfect place for outdoor entertaining. The multiple seating areas can hold many groups of people. Houzz users loved the vines on the brick walls, and the blend of the brick and the slate tiles.
8. If you're trying to figure out the best way to hold an impromptu outdoor dinner party, use this designer's solution as inspiration. Chic black and white textiles always look fresh and clean, and can dress up even the most casual outdoor space.
9. The great thing about this outdoor patio is that it's perfect for any time of year. While it's clearly well-suited for summer, the fireplace, covered patio and covered outdoor kitchen make it a cozy refuge on chilly winter nights.
10. Houzzers were drawn to the clean linear shape of this concrete and wood outdoor dining area.
11. This luxurious patio has just about everything you'd want in an outdoor room. A TV, covered living space and outdoor terrace are all visible in this shot. Houzz users loved the curtains along the longer walls in this outdoor room — it's a great way to retain heat in the winter or block the sun during a daytime movie.
12. The winding shape of this built-in bench made it bookmark-worthy for many Houzz users. Users especially loved the warm and tropical feel that the bold terra-cotta color on the cushions gave the cold concrete bench.
13. The simple design of this outdoor patio follows the "less is more" mentality. The lines of the roof and the deck lead your eye to the opposite end of the house, and make the space seem longer. Houzzers loved the sliding glass doors and the blending of the indoors and the outdoors.
14. The sculptural fence in this shot has an amazing effect on this outdoor patio. The light creates its own design on the fence. It's bold enough that no other decor is necessary.
15. Houzzers loved the contrast between the green granite countertop and the reddish Ipe wood on this outdoor kitchen. This photo was also bookmarked for layout inspiration — the kitchen has plenty of room for cooking, serving up drinks and eating a full meal.
16. Rich, lus, and exotic are some of the first words that come to mind when viewing this magical outdoor hideaway. Users loved the eclectic mish-mash of lanterns, textiles and foliage.
17. It's hard to say what's more striking about this beautiful patio — the view or the stunning construction of the patio itself. Houzzers loved the exposed wood ceiling and beams, and the elegant interior-like look of the fireplace and the kitchen cabinetry.
18. Everything about this long and narrow outdoor patio in Mexico is pretty fabulous, but observant Houzzers bookmarked this photo for the unique bamboo ceiling treatment. The beautiful colors on the outdoor pillows were another favorite feature, as were the fantastic outdoor lanterns next to each column.
19. These built-in benches are a great way to make use of any and all space in a walled-in patio. Instead of staying away from the walls, this designer embraced them! The corner space became a cozy sitting room.
20. Houzz users loved the smart use of a sectional couch in this room. The L-shaped couch provides ample seating and keeps the room cozy.

Titan FTP Server User Reviews
"Easy to configure keys"
Version: Titan FTP Server 7.11
The wizard to configure the RSA keys for SFTP is very easy to use. The tool points to teh correct directory to place the public key in. I was able to easily connect using the private key from a separate client program.
It required me to enter a passphrase for the private key. That should not be a must.
Good product. Definitely recommended.
"On of the best ftp software on market."
Version: Titan FTP Server 7.11
On of the best ftp software on market.
On of the best ftp software on market.
On of the best ftp software on market.
"very effective"
Version: Titan FTP Server 6.26
admin interface lets you set policies at different levels such as by user or group. the interface is pretty easy to understand. server has been running for 3 months with no problems. seems stable.
you have to buy the enterprise edition to get sftp and remote admin.
we have been satisfied with the product. works well, no complaints.
"the best in its category"
Version: Titan FTP Server 5.26
it has a very friendly gui
its reliable, powerfull and fast
its a trial version
"so easy anyone can use it"
Version: Titan FTP Server 5.2
i dont really even know anything about ftp and i still can manage the ftp site pretty well with this program
"In general it is wonderful!"
Version: Titan FTP Server 5.2
It is very good!
"Very Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Version: Titan FTP Server 5
Very Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Version: Titan FTP Server 5
We're using this for off-site backup of our SBS 2003 Server. Transfer are scheduled on the client using FTP Voyager for midnight to the Titan FTP Server hosted at another location. So far its proved very stable and considering what we asked it to do, easy to setup. Logging is realtime if you look in the right place, previous user who commented on this must have missed it.
Mode Z support is broken as of 1/13/06 with a fix expected in about 2 weeks. Not a big deal at all, in fact its the only 'con' I can think of. Tech support answered my email about this intelligently within 35 minutes. Exceptional! Thanks Justin!
"Good product, but a little misleading"
Version: Titan FTP Server 4.30
Very easy to setup and use. Pro and Enterprise versions allow for public keys to be imported for each of the users that will be ftp'ing in. Can restrict users to SFTP only. Logging seems to be pretty good as well.
I am evaluating FTP Server Software for a client. I was all set to recommend this solution because it has the SSL and SFTP that we need. A quick check on pricing showed that the "cheap" verision is. $60 does not get SFTP or SSL - that's the $300 version. Seems like a pretty good package, but the description here should be more upfront about the cost of various capabilities. I would give it 4.5 stars as a package, but the misleading advertising makes me not recommend the company: 3 stars.
"Stable and easy to use"
Version: Titan FTP Server 4.02
Titan is, hands down, the easiest FTP server I have ever used. Have been a user for 2 years.

Lenovo Sidesteps It's Way to Linux-Liquidation
If we had a nickel for everytime a half-truth eminated from the corporate world, we'd probably be able to buy quite a bit of it. That doesn't make it any less disappointing, however, when the half-truths are about Linux, from a Linux vendor. Such is the case this week, as Lenvo denied, then confirmed the end to their consumer Linux offerings.
The episode began on Monday when reports emerged that Lenovo had removed all pre-installed Linux offerings from its offerings, reportedly less than a year since first offering them. A Lenovo spokesman quickly denied the reports, saying the company "is not abandoning its commitment to choice of operating system, and actually is increasing the role of the Linux operating system in Lenovo's product portfolio." There was just enough room for doublespeak, though, to leave one wondering about the veracity of the denials.
Good cause appeared on Tuesday, as it was revealed that the company confirmed to Practical Technology that it was indeed ending its pre-installed Linux offerings for most customers, leaving options available for large commercial and government purchases, as well as a Linux-loaded IdeaPad netbook — which will only be availabe outside the United States. So much for "expanding" their "Linux portfolio."
Justin Ryan is a Contributing Editor for Linux Journal.
Lenovo linux
It sounded like they really didn't want to offer support for linux. Something about supporting MS's 2 operating systems for consumers has made it a little bit of an issue for the call centers.
It isn't like they really supported the linux thing anyways. They just installed opensuse on them. Dell/HP/ASUS/MSI and Everex seem to be the only major supporters of linux on consumer systems.
Lets face it it isn't IBM anymore its Lenovo. It isn't a thinkpad its an Ideapad. They are going on to do their own thing.
As far as the end of Linux at Lenovo, this is of course disappointing, particularly since they offered it on Laptops/Notebooks, which are always such a pain with Linux.
As far as the double-speak, that's annoying but it's the way most businesses tend to work. Till it's official you pretend it isn't: If you plan on firing somebody at the end of the month you generally don't tell them at the beginning of the month.
Mitch Frazier is an Associate Editor for Linux Journal.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.
