Dog's death in park trap spurs ban
MANITOBA has suspended all trapping in Grand Beach Provincial Park after a six-year-old dog was killed by a trap near a public hiking trail.
Jim Duncan, the director of Manitoba's wildlife branch, said the province has suspended all trapping in the park until the investigation into the death of Rob Shura's Rottweiler, Pippin, is complete. The province will also do a broader review of trapping in provincial parks and Crown lands that have high recreation use.
On Nov. 22, Shura and his two dogs were out for their usual walk in Grand Beach park when Pippin let out a yelp about nine metres from a hiking trail. Shura, 45, said he found Pippin's head caught in a Conibear 220, a metal trap used to kill animals such as raccoons, badgers, foxes and beavers.
"It was just horrifying. I immediately rushed to her and I tried to pry it off with my hands. I couldn't budge it. I tried to press the springs with my hands and I couldn't," he said Sunday.
"It just took a few minutes and I was trying desperately to get her out, but I couldn't."
Duncan said the trap that killed Pippin appears to have been legal, though departmental staff are still trying to find the trapper to see if he or she holds a valid licence.
He said provincial parks are meant to be enjoyed by families, and the department wants to ensure the safety of people and pets.
"No one wants to see this happen again," Duncan said.

As anti-Japanese sentiment has steamed up in China over the past month, Japan's embassy and consulates there have issued several warnings urging citizens to exercise caution when out in public. On Thursday, the consulate in Shanghai released another advisory, but this time including six accounts of Japanese residents harassed by locals.
The consulate indicates the incidents may have been in reaction to the ongoing territorial dispute, as well as to reports that three intoxicated Japanese residents stabbed a Chinese woman that is garnering heated comments on the Internet.
The cases of harassment vary in degree, and none appear to have caused major injury. Some were more aggressive than others.
In one, a Chinese person reportedly approached a group of Japanese walking down the street and poured ramen noodles on one and broke the eyeglasses of another.
In another, a person driving an electric car pulled up to a Japanese pedestrian and threw a carbonated drink in his face.

Like many other genealogists, I am excited about Thomas MacEntee's Genealogy Do-Over. And like many others, I am giving this project a lot of thought. This will not be my first do-over. I confess, I like to experiment with software. I used The Master Genealogist as my primary database for many years, but at some point, I came to the conclusion that while it had many advanced features, it didn't keep up with the times in some areas. Since then I have gone back and forth between Legacy Family Tree and Roots Magic. I like many features of both of them.
So one decision I need to make, and stick with, is which software I want to use.
Next is Evidentia. I first heard about Evidentia from a Dear Myrtle "Wacky Wednesday" presentation. I tried the free trial and there were many things I liked about it. Evidentia makes you look at the document, before you look at the people. It helps you wring every last fact out of a document. It has great citation templates. But it takes more time to analyze your document. That isn't a bad thing. I'm just not sure it's something I will stick with. I should. I certainly should.
So another decision I need to make is if I am going to purchase and use Evidentia. I should decide as it's on sale until the end of the year.
Then there is transcribing a document. Part of me knows I should transcribe every document because it makes me look at it. But again, I tend to only transcribe handwritten documents.
Will I make transcribing documents part of my process?
There is the entire, huge, topic of organization. I'm mostly digital, but I'm not sure that is a good thing.
Do I want to stay mostly digital (except a few original documents) or do I want paper as well? And either way, how do I organize it? I've tried Mary Hill's system. I've tried Karen Clifford's method. On the computer I've tried nested surnames and filing by document type. Currently I'm playing around with an idea I saw on Facebook to organize by decade. Nothing makes me happy! One thing I do like. Within whatever folder structure I use, I like to name the files YYYY Surname Firstname Description, where YYYY is the event year. Then if I look in the folder, I get a quick timeline view.
How will I organize my documents?
Like many I have collected many ancestors. One problem is that I don't really have a goal for them. Do I want to find ancestors as far back as I can? (Well,yes.) Do I want to concentrate on descendants from one line, perhaps with the goal of publishing my information? Do I just want basic facts? Do I want a rich history of each person? (Of course, but is it realistic?) This is probably the most important question of all.
Who do I want to research? And why?
I need procedures. I need to write them. I need to follow them. What will I use for my research log? My genealogy software? Excel? Evernote? Something else? Yikes. Do I plan to write a research report for each person? And of course everything will be cited, closely to Evidence Explained. I have decided to give up on citation perfection. Close enough is going to have to be good enough or I'll never research anyone.
What are my procedures?
And there is the big first step. Set aside my previous research. First I have to find it. It's in file cabinets. It's in multiple folders on my hard drive. It's in my email. It's in browser links. What a mess.
Can I do it?
I'm not sure I can. Or if I want to do so. I may adapt and 'just' revisit my tree, One person at a time, Follow the processes I set up for each person and family.
I've also been lax about blogging. Hopefully I'll be posting more on these topics as I think them through.

Privacy for tiny side yard
I'm hoping for some tree suggestions. We have a long, narrow side yard in our corner lot, and we intend to put in a small stone patio against the house. We have two-story homes across the street, so the 6 foot privacy fence does not help too much.
The space I would like to plant trees is about 17' long, with 7 feet of grass between the fence and the edge of where the patio will be. I am considering planting 5 small, (but tall!) trees along the fence... I was thinking of alternating Aborvitae & deciduous trees- either Gambel Oak or Crimson Point Plum that would be leafy above the fence line. Chanticleer pears were suggested, but I ruled that out already. The area is East facing, with almost full sun all day. Please let me know what you think or if there are any other zone 5 trees I should consider. Thanks!
Wow, I have the same situation going on and was just going to post the same type of thread. Everything you desribed is pretty much the same as my house except my side lot is slightly larger, I don't have a patio and I also have a hedgerow of a white flowering spirea along the sidewalk. I was going to plant 3 Oaks then fill it in with under study plants down the road when the Oaks get bigger. While the Trees are getting big I was thinking about a wildlife/butterfly garden loaded with different perrenials.
I don't quite get how much space you have in between the houses or from the planting hole to the property line.
Emerald green type Arborvitaes are really good for privacy for 1 story but for 2 story you might look at western arborvitae like green giant. Or Moonglow juniper. I don't know how any of these will do where you are but I'm going to rattle off a list of columnar narrow growing trees.
franz fontaine Eu. hornbeam (oval)
Fastigiata Eu. hornbeam (pyramid)
corinthian linden
apollo sugar maple
prunus spire
crimson spire oak (holds leaves thru winter = good for privacy)
bowhall red maple
karpick red maple
armstrong freeman maple
exclaimation planetree
slender silouette sweetgum
dawyk purple beech
princeton sentry ginkgo
moshino (sp?) zelkova
arnold tulip poplar
swedish aspen
Some non columnars that you may have space for because they just don't get that big are trident maple and paperbark maple. Again I don't know what does or doesn't grow in colo
That ought to give you something to google around for.
"The space I would like to plant trees is about 17' long, with 7 feet of grass between the fence and the edge of where the patio will be."
"The area is East facing, with almost full sun all day."
I assume this space runs parallel to the nearest wall of your home.
How far will this planting 'island' be from your house?
How far will it be from the neighbor's property & home?
Is there a septic tank system nearby?
Are you ready for the bases of the trees to cover the whole 7' wide (formerly) grass patch between patio & privacy fence? I ask because it sounds like you want to screen out nearby 2 story houses, and I'm not sure how tall a tree you'll need. Would a 12' Emerald Green Arborvitae work? If so, may not be an issue. But if you plant a row of Green Giant Arborvitae, I'm thinking it WILL be an issue.
If you want to mix something a little different in with a row of arborvitae of whatever kind, a holly or two of the right variety might give you another evergreen influence.
Thanks for all your suggestions. I agree a picture would help, but I couldn't figure out how to post it. Perhaps I'll try again tonight....
To clarify, there are 13 ft between the fence & the house, & I do want to keep the grassy area open.... so I really need small trees. Maybe a collumnar tree, or one with a 10-15 ft span at maturity. 10 ft tall would work. The trunk should be small as well.
We're on a corner, so the only thing on the other side if the fence is a sidewalk & the street. No other obstructions such as septic tanks etc.
Would alternating 3 emerald green with 2 deciduous trees be too busy? Or vice versa, 3 deciduous & 2 emerald green? Would the base of the emerald green get too wide, or can that be pruned? I think they would be planted about 3 ft apart. This is my first house/yard, I am a novice gardener/landscaper!
Thank you musicalperson! Here are the pics. As you can see it's a very tight space. The air conditioner & bushes will be moved, & then patio will be alongside the house (which is actually the garage). Any suggestions?
Uploaded with [URL=http://imageshack.us]ImageShack.us[/URL]
oops.... try these links for the pics:
I'd go with the franz fontain hornbeam in the corners and one in the middle or alternatively junipers like witchita blue, spartan or skyrocket.
I can undestand you wanting to keep the grass but that is just a losing battle. Between the limited sunlight and the labradoodle pee burn marks, I think you're eventually going to end up with wood chips or synthetic turf there. Some shade tolerant shrubs as a mixed border or hedge along the fence would look nice and eliminate the need to use a trimmer along the fence.
I have 4 townhouses (2 story) behind me. I have a 5 foot wooden fence and need more screening due to the 2 story town houses.
I have considered emerald green arborvitae but some places say 8 foot tall, 10 ft tall and 12 to 14 foot tall. Which is correct. I live in zone 7a. The site faces North and they will get full sun all day.
I have a pool that is about 12 to 13 feet from the fence. How far should I place them from the fence, etc.
Do you know of something that would work better?
Hello posters,
Someone in the olden days of Gardenweb told me about a convention of posting questions.
Sometimes we piggyback on another person's ("OP" aka "original post or poster) question when it seems similar. Often, however, the specifics vary and the second question really should be answered separately.
You'll get better answers to your questions if you post yours separately with a different topic name.
Sometimes posting questions or problems in someone else's OP is called "hijacking." I think that's a bit rough in some circumstances. God knows I've done it. I mean no offense, and I hope no one takes it like that. I just noticed at a glance in the "tiny backyard" thread that a couple of us asked questions about our own challenges.

Sherri...thank you again so very much for your fantastic website and for your excellent stories on life in Cozumel. We fellow Texans that are not fortunate enough to actually live there are able to do it through you and we are all extremely grateful...and incredibly envious! Having been an airline employee until retirement I have been lucky to have been down island over 20 times and it NEVER gets old. I thought I knew all about Cozumel, but was delighted to learn of new things and places through you and your website. Your current posting of how you came to Cozumel was so cool. You really need to work on that book! Congrats on this milestone, and continued luck and success in all you do. See you in September for our annual trip down for my birthday and Mexican Independence Day.

Varnish or Lacquer?
I am having my kitchen cabinets built by a local cabinet maker, and then stained/finished by someone else. They are a rustic cherry, with a natural finish, and black glaze. Can someone tell me the appropriate finish for this...varnish, lacquer, something else? I just want to make sure it is finished correctly
It's all a matter of trade-offs. There is no one universal best finish. Some of the things to consider:
- Protection from water
- Durability
-- scratches
-- heat / steam
-- solvent resistance
-- acid / alkali resistance (including acidic and alkaline foods)
- Ability to repair
- Ease in stripping & refinishing
- Ability to rub out to a sheen and blend out scratches
- Ease and/or ability to apply => cost to apply
- Availability of finishes (a concern in places like CA)
- Appearance
Most likely your finish shop will have a finish or two that it's set up to do and will lean to that as a preference.
Here is a link that might be useful: Finish options
Thank you bob's nephew for the link. It is the beginning of my education. I have a project in mind which i think will be very difficult and wonder if I need to be talked out of it. I have an old couch (white) with a top border, arm scrolls and legs in a dark wood. I was hoping to find a way to create a high gloss black lacquer on the wood, in a kind of chinese lacquer effect. Is that the same kind of Lacquer that most people are referring to? Also how would you recommend protecting the fabric when spraying on the lacquer (with a compressor right?) I'm afraid to ruin it but I'm really sick of the wood stain.
Many thanks.
Interesting concept. I just got a call yesterday from my largest client. One of their customers had furniture on order and as soon as it arrived, it was to be put in a sea container for their move to Bejing. (This is the modern equivalent of carrying coals to Newcastle.) Well it came in wood tone and needed to be antique white with glaze, at 2pm, "Can you have it done tomorrow at 8am?" When I stopped laughing, I said no. They did find someone who spent half the night doing it. I have done a lot of furniture for them that "was the wrong color" -- dark brown to black, green to black, white to yellow, etc. etc. etc.
Chinese lacquer is different than nitrocellulose lacquer that we use. But yes, you can use a gloss NC lacquer. Most NC lacquers need to be sprayed as they dry too quickly to brush or rag on. So you have to mask off the upholstery. I use the Green Lacquer tape #2060, as the adhesives in most other tapes are attacked by lacquer thinner.
If you don't have a compressor and gun, you can do small areas with aerosol lacquers. These are generally highly thinned, but they will work.
I would have a tough time trying to convince myself that I could mask off white well enough to spray black on it, though. I guess it really depends upon how the upholstery was done
Chinese lacquer is not a plant based finish.
The plant is actually related to poison ivy.
The sap is used and allowed to harden by oxidation.
You can also use brushing lacquer.
Deft now marks their cans of 'clear wood finish' as 'brushing lacquer'.
Spraying of nitrocellulose lacquer is not for the faint of heart.
The spray and fumes are VERY flammable and explosive.
The guy that built and installed my cabs uses MAC precatalyzed lacquer. He said the precatalyzed isn't quite as water resistant but it's easier to re-apply when it comes time to fix any water stains or other blemishes, which he happily does for free at any time. After three years, we did get some water stains, mostly on the lower cab door and drawer upper edges and he just finished the re-coating and they look new. Nice to find a contractor who stands behind his work.

Pokemon X
Review by BringerOfPie
""Hi, I'm Fennekin! I'm cute! Buy my merchandise!""
Pokemon is too complicated for me. It's not that I have any trouble learning the new Pokemon each generation or ploughing through any of the adventures. In fact, I have been playing these games since 1998. Rather, Pokemon has become such a complex community of number-crunching and weighing the exact match-ups of different moves and abilities and natures (hell, I still do not understand what the point of a nature actually is) that I suddenly feel like one of my parents back in 1998 who could not understand what the word Pokedex meant. I am into Pokemon for the journey, but at the end of the day, I go back home. Even for a feeble casual playing style as my own, however, each generation of games has made clear improvements upon the last. Types have been balanced, regions have gotten larger, side-quests have increased, and even the stories have improved. Yet graphically, this franchise has always felt a decade behind. Pokemon X and Y finally makes the long overdue visual overhaul to 3D, although in other ways, also moves the series backwards.
The moment Professor Sycamore greets you in the opening cinematic, you know this is a new beginning. If the move away from color and gemstone-themed game titles was not enough indication, the characters have full models, finally doing away with those 16-bit sprites that looked horrifically out of place in the DS Pokemon titles' 3D environments. Even in your humble starting town of three houses and nothing else resembling modern civilization, you will see the camera is no longer restricted to a top-down view. While Black and White dabbled in varying camera angles, it looked more like a Minecraft world than a lush, lively one. Though your character at first resembles prior protagonists, he or she is customizable. In addition to choosing your skin tone (of which you have a whopping three options), you are able to purchase new clothes and accessories as you progress. Especially as you begin playing with other players around the world, this really helps you forge an identity that you could not in previous titles.
The formula is almost no different than it was 15 years ago, though, which is why Pokemon X and Y is a success on the surface it's the exact same addictive game, but it both looks and feels different. You get your starting Pokemon, battle trainers, gain experience for your Pokemon to evolve, defeat eight gym leaders, and become the champion. But suppose you are not one of the 500 trillion people who played one of the previous Pokemon titles. If that is you, then congratulations on finally waking up from your coma, and in further good news, X and Y is probably the most accessible Pokemon title for newcomers in quite some time. The game is very tutorial-heavy in its first few hours, though this will be an annoyance to veteran players since there is no option to skip most of them. But for the truly bewildered, the battles are very forgiving to begin with, as you encounter faces both new and old, and you will quickly gain roller skates and further transportation to speed your character up, saving yourself from the slow slogs of early routes in previous games.
While the overworld enhancements are extremely welcome, your movement is essentially locked into an 8-way movement and you don't actually have control of the camera, and while the game uses this to show off visual flair in the background, there are a few places where the constantly shifting camera becomes an annoyance. The 3D is not even enabled on most routes, which is just weird as hell for an in-house Nintendo title. In battle, on the other hand, is where the eye candy shines. The battle scenes of Pokemon Stadium all those years ago have at long lasted translated themselves into the RPG adventures. Everything is fully animated in a a clean cartoon fashion, more closely resembling the style of the Pokemon anime than the ugly block polygons of the console Pokemon spin-off games (let's be honest, those games are all hideous). There is some semi-frequent lag, usually with larger Pokemon and larger attacks, but it's mostly positive progress.
While the past several new generations of Pokemon have introduced over 100 new critters each, X and Y only introduces a little more than 60. This may disappoint some fans, but I feel there are acceptable reasons for this. With a few exceptions (like a damn keychain Pokemon), these are the best designs in a while. Believe me, I hate the purists who worship the original 150 as much as anyone else, but Black and White's creatures were the first generation where I felt the new Pokemon were legitimately stupid. Luckily, the few new catches here are awesome, like a fiery fox wizard, a luchador hawk, and a dragon-type slug that is basically a homicidal Barney the Dinosaur. But perhaps the main reason for fewer new critters is the addition of Mega Evolution to enhance older Pokemon. Once the player obtains a Mega Ring, you can make certain Pokemon that were previously fully evolved, like Charizard and Lucario, and make them grow one step further temporarily.
Mega Evolution is brilliant because even though it sounds like it would be cheap as hell, its limited properties merely make it an added layer of battle strategy. It can only be used in battle, and once the battle ends, your Mega Pokemon will revert back to its original form. Additionally, you can only activate one Mega Evolution per battle, so your party will not suddenly depend on only having these specific Pokemon. However, it does give you a reason to revisit some old forgotten friends, and with so many new creatures being added each time, some like Absol and Mawile who never got the light of day to begin with are suddenly viable. Expanding on its old field of assets instead of just adding new ones makes X and Y's combat system a perfect blend of old and new strategies. This is without also touching on new moves, new abilities, and even a new type Fairy to balance out Dragon and Dark-type attacks.
Even though the camera makes the world of Kalos looks more vast than anything before, it actually feels more confined in parts. For those of us exploring types, there is not much to do off the beaten path, nor are there many areas to revisit and reach new places once you obtain later abilities. There are some, but it's significantly less than previous Pokemon games, making the adventure feel far too linear. In fact, this is not the only area that X and Y seem like a step backwards. Diamond and Pearl introduced a competent villain team and gave you a reason to care about the characters for the first time in the series, and Black and White went even further with a legitimately thought-provoking story and had the gym leaders play an active role instead of staying penned up in the back of their gyms waiting to get spanked by the next 8-year-old with a Pidgey. X and Y has very little story. The villain group, Team Flare, might be even less interesting than Team Rocket in Red and Blue, while the antagonist reveal is so predictable it's actually hilarious. The characters have also jumped back several generations, with gym leaders doing nothing, and your traveling friends/rivals give you no reason to care about them.
These shortcomings are masked by a massive step forward visually, of course, but it's almost an illusion, as aside from Mega Evolution, this is the first time a new generation of Pokemon has not made steps forward in terms of gameplay. Even the post-game is almost nonexistent compared to the previous few games, as while I continued playing prior titles for weeks or even months after conquering the region, X and Y gave me no reason to keep playing unless I wanted to heavily invest in the online community. Mind you, the required portions of the journey are wonderful. You will see new types of terrain not seen in other Pokemon titles thanks to the added depth, and there are even parts where you get to ride a Pokemon's back to cross treacherous areas you could not by foot. These parts of Kalos do show a series with plenty of freshness still in the tank. Even the cities are really creative this time around, with my favorite being mushroom-filled fairy tale town at the edge of a haunted swamp. It's just the optional portions of the region that are lacking.
Each DS Pokemon title has smartly used the touch screen as an easily accessible inventory and radar system, and X and Y goes even further than before. The touch menu encompasses your inventory, the Pokedex, and a bunch of extra features. One of the coolest new features, the PSS, lets you detect other players to communicate with, both locally and via Wi-Fi. If that bratty little punk-ass kid in the restaurant booth next to you keeps making obnoxious faces, your PSS will let you know you can humiliate his Pokemon team right then and there and send him crying to the bathroom. There are also two mini-games you can play at any time on the touch screen to boost your Pokemon's power. Pokemon-Amie is like a petting zoo to increase friendship. Super Training is a game of soccer/football against giant balloons to increase specific statistics. Like I said, I know absolutely nothing about competitive play and still have no idea what EV or IV' even stand for, but Nintendo figured the meta-game was now mainstream enough to open up to everyone. I'm sure some dweeb 20-year-olds with no girlfriends and no jobs will cry foul, but I'm glad I can finally last more than one turn in a battle thanks to this system.
Pokemon X and Y is both a massive step forward and a few steps back for the franchise. The visuals have finally caught up to the current day and age after perpetual baby steps, being one of the better-looking 3DS games in spite of the mysterious lack of 3D in many areas. The battle system is even better than ever, not only finally having fully animated battles, but the Mega Evolution system is carefully implemented to be an extra strategy and not a necessity. The new Pokemon are quality over quantity, while even newcomers to the franchise will have no problem figuring out their way. The region, story, and characters are unfortunately a step down from the last several installments, as is the post-game content, but even if you only play until the end and not beyond, there are dozens of hours to invest before you get there. If you play online consistently, you can probably last until Generation 7, and features like Super Training and streamlined trading and battling now make the online community more accessible to anyone. X and Y are not the best Pokemon games, but they were a necessary overhaul for a franchise that now feels as rejuvenated as ever. And hey, even if they were terrible, they would still print mansions made of money for Nintendo.

Tri-Cities Thanksgiving Holiday Garbage Pickup Schedule
- TRI-CITIES – (Basin Disposal & Ed's Disposal) All Thursday routes are running on Thanksgiving Day. Please have cans out early to ensure services.
I took the monkey home to start "Monkeyvember" (inspired by Elf on a Shelf and #Dinovember) I think I started a war at my house. Take a look:
We love "Elf on a Shelf" and "Dinovember," so I picked up a stuffed monkey to do "Monkeyvember" at my house with my boys. Only I brought him in to the studio first to show him off -- big mistake.
Forget "Elf on the Shelf," Dinovember is the coolest thing ever! Each night of November one family has toy dinosaurs create havoc around the house to the surprise and glee of their children each morning. When the kids go to bed, the dinosaurs supposedly come out to play and freeze at dawn. The parents say they're just trying to instill a sense of low-tech awe and wonder in an age when kids are glued to tablets and televisions.
Having a tough year? Need help thinking of stuff to be thankful for this month? Well here's a list of totally awesome stuff from the people at Reddit. This list will have you feeling grateful in no time.
I'm a big fan of "Ask the Fruitcake Lady" -- the segment that aired on Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show" a decade ago (she passed away in 2006). Today I found out she was Truman Capote's aunt!
Local business' again are rallying for Foster Kids this year! When you see big boxes wrapped in Christmas paper at locations around the Tri-Cities, drop an un-opened gift inside to help each foster care child receive a gift this year!
Being in a home that isn't yours around the holidays is an uncomfortable time for many
The whole point of wrapping gifts is so they will be a surprise....not so people can peel back the paper and peek. Now when they get too close, you'll be on first alert with flashing lights and siren, with the amazing GIFT ALARM! This is just too funny! It's motion activated so you can hide it in the closet, under the bed or right under the Christmas Tree!
It sells for $13 on this web page: http://mcphee
People are passionate about their stuffing! Personally, I will eat anything! But, when my kids were young, their Grandma Ramona, used to make a very simple Stovetop recipe and she just added Water chestnuts to it. My kids
As the holiday season draws near the need for new toys for children in foster care grows and grows. Here's how you can help:
Wow! Check this out! Pretty amazing!

The U.S. ($450 million over three years) and global support for GAVI indicates that the citizens and governments of rich countries well understand the need to fund innovative global health incentives. On the delivery side, increasing numbers of poor die because they cannot afford $5 vaccines, at the drug development end, existing patent structure provides a disincentive for pharmaceutical companies to direct their research towards new cures for diseases which affect only the poor half of the world. The flaws of the push method and pull method are real, but there are more real solutions available now then ever. The Health Impact Fund (healthimpactfund.org) is a multilateral pull-like solution which rewards pharmaceutical companies, and its government funders, for directing substantial multi-year research towards drugs with the widest health impact. The recent GAVI conference gives me hope that the rich world is on track towards a Global Pharmaceutical Industry 2.0 which can serve the most basic needs of all. I'm a supporter of the the Health Impact Fund and encourage interested readers to learn more at http://www.healthimpactfund.org
China and India both combine many of the best educated among the worlds youner generation, with a very low labor and capital cost base.
For the same returns, vaacine and drug research in these countries promises to be far more profitable. Only a matter of time until the west is surpassed in these areas too.

Anachronism or genius?
The world of 100 years ago was quite different than the one we inhabit today. There was no central heat or air-conditioning back then. Private dwellings and places of business were drafty and cold, or insufferably hot, depending on the season. Distances were covered on foot, or on horseback, or in a wagon that bumped along a dirt road with all the grace and poise of a bag of rocks falling down a stairwell. Electricity was scarce at best.
So with all that going against it, why is the past so intriguing? Maybe because it's known – or at least partially known, and yet it's still up for discussion. What happened is generally a given. But why it happened, or how it happened is often as much a mystery to us as it was to the bystanders of the day.
Case in point: I give you the Benoist flying boat that established the first scheduled commercial air route in the world. The year was 1914, the place was Tampa Bay, Florida. And the pilot was Tony Jannus, a daredevil of a man who flew airplanes when airplanes were barely understood. [Read more…]

I go to the movies all the time. I saw The Avengers 6 time and can relate that movie to almost any situation. I love Family Guy and I swear any situation reminds me of something from the show. I love to laugh, I have been to a bunch of comedy shows. I have seen: Christopher Titus, Drew Carry, Wayne Brady, Dave Attell, The Waynes Bros.

You need not have your head buried too deeply in your iBook to catch a whiff of bias against Nick Hornby from the independent music press. The balding, perpetually thirtysomething pop novelist has lately been trying his hand at rock commentary (a passion second only to soccer-- er, football), crafting articles for The New York Times and The Believer, editing a popular critical anthology (Da Capo's annual Best Music Writing series), and even publishing an homage to his 31 favorite songs, titled, appropriately enough, 31 Songs.
Like it or not, Hornby is a relevant cultural figure who has used his clout as a novelist to help develop an ancillary career in music journalism. Though his work in the field is certainly passionate, Hornby is undoubtedly a novelist first and a critic second. The backlash, then, is understandable, when he exhausts 2,000 words on sentimental lauding over uneven Philadelphia schlock-rockers Marah, or incessantly pontificates about his bygone youth and its tenuous-at-best connection to music. It seems wherever the man lays his pen, it serves as a clarion call for the press to root against his new favorite band. The task for fans becomes deciding if, in fact, the death knell is warranted.
Witness: Damon Gough. Gough is an artist who has been handily and, some may argue, unfairly smote by Hornby's approbation. After hearing his wonderfully enigmatic debut, 2000's The Hour of Bewilderbeast, Hornby was smitten, and asked the Badly Drawn Boy to score the big-screen adaptation of his About a Boy. Both film and score, however, were met with equal parts acclaim and enmity, leaving Gough's standing in flux.
While many insist the entrapments of commercial success (About a Boy, a contract with ArtistDirect BMG) have led Gough down an ill-fated path toward mainstream banality, I've willingly given him the benefit of the doubt. A gleeful champion of Bewilderbeast, I've been searching for some hard evidence-- any evidence-- with which to refute Gough's intensely biased detractors. I concede that, since his wily debut, the threadbare Briton hasn't crafted anything approaching the idiosyncrasy and charming verve of Bewilderbeast. But while the flaccid one-two punch of About a Boy and Have You Fed the Fish? festered in light of his momentous debut, those lackluster efforts surely weren't so awful as to rule out a potential return to form... were they?
Well, it's beginning to look that way. Back with a new label (Astralwerks), and a shot at a new beginning, One Plus One Is One finds Gough accelerating his concerted drive toward commercial success, and the results only offer more fodder for the fallen auteur's ruthless gadflies. There's nary a strong song here-- not even a retread of "Silent Sigh" or "Something to Talk About", much less another "Once Around the Block" or "Everybody's Stalking". Sadly, Gough has firmly and perhaps inevitably cleared, as ex-PFM writer Jesse Fahnestock put it, the "fenceline between execrable REO Speedwagon pomp-pop and touching, emotive songwriting," and landed on, well, you can guess which side.
The troubling thing about Gough's undoing is that it hasn't come in the form of a mere stasis, but rather a willful regression to a by-the-numbers approach to songwriting, devoid of pretty much any substance. On top of being simplistic, sonically unadventurous, and poorly recorded, these songs aren't the slightest bit catchy, a consequence of Gough attempting to balance his dour, nine-o'clock-shadow persona with FM radio aspirations.
The album's most immediately memorable aspect is its indiscreet prologue and epilogue: a pointless sample of what sounds like shopping carts being jostled in a supermarket, only without the telltale ch-ching of cash registers. Gone are the sultry orch-pop orchestrations that characterized his debut and parts of the spotty Fed the Fish, replaced by a more pared-down palette of maudlin grand piano, close mic'd drums, plenty of indiscriminate strumming, and, for good measure, some new-age flute. Even Gough's trademark demure croon seems oddly self-conscious, doubtless a result of his voice sticking further out than usual from the tepid instrumental mix.
Points of interest are few and far between. With their staid textures, the songs tend to blend into one another, sounding at best like a spiritless hodgepodge of About a Boy's weaker moments. The title track opener features a smattering of glockenspiel, trumpet, and overwrought strings, but the parts fail to coagulate, and the finished orchestration sounds like a bush league Fleetwood Mac. Elsewhere, Gough's lyrics are regrettably schmaltzy, as on "Year of the Rat" he croons (with some help from a completely unironic children's choir), "Everybody needs to know it's the year of the rat/ Everyday we've got to hold on/ 'Cause if we hold on, we could find some new energy." Elsewhere, "Summertime in Wintertime" feebly acknowledges Jethro Tull, juxtaposing a bouncy flute against a generic prog riff. In context, it's something of a tour de force number for Gough, but ultimately a stone better left unturned on an album best left unheard.
