The literature on 'world cities' has had an enormous influence on urban theory and planning alike. From Manila to London, academics and policy makers have attempted to understand, and to some extent strive for, world city status. This book is a study of Cape Town's standing in this network of urban centres, and an investigation of the conceptual appropriateness of this world city hypothesis. Drawing on more than a dozen years of fieldwork in Cape Town, McDonald… (más)

What man has done to man is inconceivable. Just Adolf Hitler alone is responsible for killing at least ten million people. Joseph Stalin is not far behind. In the twentieth century, are you going to allow all this to go on?
No, we are not going to allow it anymore.
Our ways of changing this world are certainly different. We are not going to create nuclear weapons to conquer the world and change it, no.
We have already the greatest weapon in our hands: meditation.
Spread it far and wide to everyone you love, to everyone you know.
Don't tell anybody that it is something to be believed in. Just say, "I experimented, and it is something not to be missed. You experiment. There is nothing to lose. If you don't get anything out of it, you have not lost anything. And it is such a simple thing that everybody, even a small child, can start doing it. And it can be done even by the dying man in the last moment of his life."
And if a dying man can do it, can reach his center, he will know that death is happening only to the house in which he used to live, but he is not going to die. He will know his eternity, his immortality. And that knowledge, that wisdom is the greatest richness that one can achieve.
Osho,I have been a sannyasin for eleven years. Never in my life have I been as happy as now. But when I listen to you lately, I feel that I have never really gone inside. Is this possible?
Not only possible, it is absolutely certain.
Just being happy is nothing. It is dangerous too, because somebody who is unhappy at least tries to find some way to get out of it.
You have been a sannyasin for eleven years. Naturally - my people are immensely happy people, and happiness is catching - you are caught by the happiness of everybody. And there is no reason to be sad here, there is no reason to be frustrated here, there is no reason to be disappointed here. But this happiness is not what I call blissfulness. This happiness is good, but just good is not enough.
You will have to enter into yourself.
And remember, in entering into yourself you are not going to lose your happiness. You are fortunate, because the person who starts from unhappiness will have to lose unhappiness.
You are not going to lose anything.
You will find more and more happiness.
And you will find the happiness turning, changing into blissfulness, and finally into enlightenment.
You are on the right track, but you are not moving!

|Find any book at the best price.
by Kelby, Scott
Publisher:Peachpit Press
This book is like a nutritious dessert. For many people, the sidebar tips sprinkled throughout most software books are the best part, so much so that they read all of them first. Photoshop 7 Killer Tips is a whole book of cool sidebar tips--without the sidebars. It won't replace a good user manual and it may not have the best organization, but it'll certainly help make you a speedier and happier Photoshop user.
Tips cover a range of topics: type, layers, blending modes, Web graphics, color correcting, selections, and much more. They include undocumented shortcuts (like Shift-Delete to bring up the Fill dialog box) and so many why-didn't-I-know-this-sooner hints (like typing d, s, or c when in a Save dialog box instead of the respective buttons). Each tip can shave a few seconds to several minutes off of your work time, and impress friends and colleagues to boot.
Scott Kelby is a funny guy, but his writing isn't filled with the obnoxious kind of silly jokes that clog up text and make it take that much longer to get to the important information. Instead, he puts the jokes in out-of-the-way places like section headings and chapter intros. And, as opposed to most other books, these jokes are actually funny--a kind of snarky, Mystery Science Theater 3000 kind of funny. For example, he writes, "Is this book for you? Are you kidding? This book is so for you that it secretly freaks you out."
And that's true. Anyone with even the most basic knowledge of Photoshop will feel a zing of excitement when they start reading these gems. You'll think, "Gosh, what a great idea. What will they think of next? A whole box of donut holes? Just the muffin tops?" And even though Kelby recommends reading this in front of your computer, Killer Tips will also come in handy in other rooms where people enjoy reading material while, ahem, sitting for short periods. Why waste a minute when you can learn how to make a "reusable diagonal guide"! --Angelynn Grant

Early-music pioneers Charivari Agréable perform an engaging collection of overtures from the Italian Baroque Opera, best described by Kah- Ming Ng as being "lucidly crafted for the purpose of turning heads". In a decadent era when the antics of theatre-goers was often as intriguing as the performances taking place on stage, these works were composed with the express intention of thrilling, beguiling and engaging an often hard-to-impress audience.
"... All in all, this disc is full of insight and revelation, and to be highly recommended."

The 2000 French Grand Prix (formally the LXXXVI Mobil 1 Grand Prix de France) was a Formula One motor race held on 2 July 2000 at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours at Magny-Cours, France. It was the ninth race of the 2000 Formula One season. The race was the 78th French Grand Prix and the tenth to be held at Magny-Cours. The race was held over 72 laps of the 4.3-kilometre circuit for a total race distance of 306 kilometres.
The race was won by British driver David Coulthard driving a McLaren MP4/15. The win was Coulthard's third win of the season. Coulthard won by 14 seconds over his Finnish team mate Mika Häkkinen in McLaren's third 1-2 of the year. Brazilian driver Rubens Barrichello finished third driving a Ferrari F1-2000.
The Grand Prix was contested by eleven teams, each of two drivers.[1] The teams, also known as constructors were, McLaren, Ferrari, Jordan, Jaguar, Williams, Benetton, Prost, Sauber, Arrows, Minardi and BAR.[1] Tyre supplier Bridgestone brought two different tyre types to the race: two dry compounds, the soft and the medium.[2]
Going into the race, Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher led the Drivers' Championship with 56 points, ahead of David Coulthard on 34 points and Mika Häkkinen on 32. Rubens Barrichello was fourth with 28 points while Giancarlo Fisichella was fifth on 18 points. In the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari were leading with 84 points, McLaren and Benetton were second and third with 66 and 18 points respectively, while Williams with 15 and Jordan with 10 contended for fourth place. Ferrari and Michael Schumacher had so far led the Championship, with Coulthard winning the Spanish Grand Prix. Championship competitors Fisichella and Barrichello had gained second place finishes, and Ralf Schumacher and Heinz-Harald Frentzen had achieved third place podium finishes.
Following the Canadian Grand Prix on 18 June, the teams conducted testing sessions at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours from June 21–23. McLaren's test driver Olivier Panis set the fastest time on the first day. Jos Verstappen lost control of his car and drove off the track, resulting in treatment for neck strain. He was later passed fit to race.[3] Coulthard topped the second day's running,[4] and Häkkinen was fastest on the final day of testing.[5]
Practice and qualifying[edit]
Four practice sessions were held before the Sunday race—two on Friday, and two on Saturday. The Friday morning and afternoon sessions each lasted an hour. The third and final practice sessions were held on Saturday morning and lasted 45 minutes.[6] The first practice session took place in dry conditions. The ambient temperature was 26 °C (79 °F) and the track temperature 33 °C (91 °F).[7] Michael Schumacher set the session's fastest time, a 1:16.474, two-tenths of a second ahead of Häkkinen. Prost driver Nick Heidfeld finished with the third fastest time, with Ralf Schumacher, Eddie Irvine and Fisichella rounding out the top six positions. Several drivers were afflicted with problems on their cars. Coulthard's McLaren car was afflicted with an fuel pump failure and was forced to sit out the session. Verstappen's car suffered an engine failure; this restricted his running and was fourteenth overall. Both Jordan drivers did not set a lap time; Jarno Trulli's car was afflicted with a brake problem while Frentzen only ran one installation lap.[8]
The second practice session was held in similar weather to the first; the only difference was a slightly lower peak track temperature of 29 °C (84 °F).[7] Coulthard had a trouble-free session and set the fastest time of the day, a 1:16.253; Häkkinen finished with the third fastest time. They were split by the Ferrari drivers—Michael Schumacher in second and Barrichello in fourth. Sauber driver Mika Salo finished with the fifth fastest time with Fisichella rounding out the top six.[9]
Saturday's weather was again dry for the third practice session, with ambient temperature 18 °C (64 °F) and track temperature 21 °C (70 °F).[10]
Saturday's afternoon qualifying session lasted for an hour. During this session, the 107% rule was in effect, which necessitated each driver set a time within 107% of the quickest lap to qualify for the race. Each driver was limited to twelve laps.[6] The session was held in dry weather hotter than any of the free practice sessions with the ambient temperature 28 °C (82 °F) and the track temperature 33 °C (91 °F).[11] Qualifying had Michael Schumacher on pole position for the third consecutive race with David Coulthard second, Rubens Barrichello third, Mika Häkkinen fourth, Ralf Schumacher fifth and Eddie Irvine sixth.[12]
The conditions on the grid were dry before the race. The air temperature was 27 °C (81 °F) and the track temperature was 39 °C (102 °F); conditions were expected to remain consistent throughout the race.[13] The drivers took to the track at 09:30 local time for a 30-minute warm-up session.[6] Both McLaren cars maintained their good form from qualifying; Häkkinen had the fastest time of 1:19.329. Coulthard was second in the other McLaren car. Michael Schumacher set the third fastest time with Trulli rounding out the top four. Michael Schumacher drove the spare Ferrari car and his race car, making adjustments to the changeable weather conditions.[14]
At the start, Coulthard was quicker than Schumacher but Schumacher moved across the track to stay ahead as in Canada. But Coulthard had to switch sides, allowing Barrichello to get the momentum on him. Coulthard was forced to concede second to Barrichello and behind them Häkkinen kept out of the action as Jacques Villeneuve and Heinz-Harald Frentzen were able to get ahead of Ralf Schumacher as well. The order was: Michael Schumacher, Barrichello, Coulthard, Häkkinen, Villeneuve, Frentzen, Ralf Schumacher, Jarno Trulli, Mika Salo and Irvine.
The race settled down with Schumacher slowly pulling away from Barrichello about whom neither Coulthard nor Häkkinen could do much. Villeneuve was on his own in fifth while Frentzen, Ralf Schumacher and Trulli were running together. On lap 12, Jenson Button passed Irvine and followed up by passing Salo next lap. He started to close in on the party led by Frentzen. At the front, 4 seconds behind Schumacher, Coulthard started to close in on Barrichello as the fuel load began to go down. He made a move on lap 21 but Barrichello was able to see to it and defended. Coulthard tried again on lap 22 and this time he got it on the inside of the Adelaide hairpin. In the next few laps before the stops, Schumacher increased his lead to 5 seconds. Barrichello's stop was slow and this allowed Häkkinen to sneak ahead of him. Behind them, Ralf Schumacher passed Frentzen during the stops as well. The order after the stops was: Michael Schumacher, Coulthard, Häkkinen, Barrichello, Villeneuve, Ralf Schumacher, Frentzen, Trulli, Button and Salo.
Michael Schumacher's tyres had been blistered and Coulthard came charging in toward him. Schumacher could do nothing and in 8 laps, his 4 second lead was gone. Behind them, Häkkinen was slowly pulling away from Barrichello. At the front, Coulthard was now right with Schumacher and Häkkinen closing in on both. Coulthard went around the outside of Schumacher at the Adelaide hairpin but Schumacher moved on him and kept the lead. This allowed Häkkinen to be right with them and Barrichello was starting to close in on all three. There were no changes behind them. Coulthard made an irate gesture to Schumacher at the same corner on lap 35. With Barrichello getting closer and closer to the three up front, Coulthard made his move on Schumacher on lap 36. He made it stick and pulled away from Schumacher. Häkkinen immediately tried to attack Schumacher but he defended. Schumacher was under pressure from Häkkinen who was in turn under pressure from Barrichello but none of them tried an overtaking maneuver as Coulthard's lead continued to increase.
There were no changes at the front after the second stops but Barrichello had a slow one and dropped 10 seconds because of a wheel nut problem and was left out of the battle for second place. Behind them, Trulli got past Frentzen in the stops and Ralf Schumacher was right with Villeneuve and was having a quicker car. The order was: Coulthard, Michael Schumacher, Häkkinen, Barrichello, Villeneuve, Ralf Schumacher, Trulli, Frentzen, Button and Giancarlo Fisichella. Michael Schumacher had taken on a new set of tyres and was under no pressure from Häkkinen in third, keeping the gap from 1.2-1.5 seconds although he lost a tenth or two to Coulthard who was 10 seconds ahead. Barrichello was dropping away from Häkkinen, over 13 seconds behind. Behind them Villeneuve resisted Ralf Schumacher's attacks on lap 56 and 57. There was one more twist as Michael Schumacher went out with an engine failure on lap 59, promoting everyone behind him. Button attacked Frentzen on lap 65 but Frentzen defended and Button then dropped away like Ralf Schumacher who was dropping away from Villeneuve. Coulthard won the race ahead of Häkkinen, Barrichello, Villeneuve, Ralf Schumacher and Trulli.
The race marked the debut of James Allen as commentator for British TV station ITV. He stood in for Murray Walker who had a hip injury, which caused him to miss the event. Mr Allen went on to take over the role full-time from the 2001 Japanese Grand Prix onwards until the BBC took over in 2009.
The top three drivers appeared on the podium to collect their trophies and in the subsequent press conference.

Baguio's coldest day: Temp hits 9.5 Celsius
MANILA, Philippines – The temperature in Baguio City dropped to 9.5 degrees Celsius on Friday, the lowest since the start of the year, according to state weather bureau PAGASA.
PAGASA forecaster Aldczar Aurelio told ABS-CBNnews.com that the temperature is even lower than the 11˚C recorded just last January 15. The record-breaking temperature was recorded between 2 and 6 a.m. today, Aurelio said.
Today's temperature reading, however, is still far from the city's record 6.27˚C on January 18, 1961.
Aurelio explained that today's chilly weather, also felt in Metro Manila and parts of Luzon, was due to the presence of the northeast monsoon (amihan) and the cold front.
"Normal ito. May times na malamig sa January, may times na hindi," he said.
He said the country will experience this cool weather until mid-February.
In Metro Manila, temperature dropped below the 20 degrees Celsius-mark on Thursday, PAGASA said.
The nation's capital recorded an 18.8 degrees Celsius temperature on Thursday, January 17.
At 6 a.m. today, Aurelio said a temperature of 22.5 degrees Celsius was recorded at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.

Hard times for the big boys
|| Print |
|Ben Jacklet
|Wednesday, June 30, 2010
For more than 30 years, Oregon Business has ranked the state's top 150 private companies by revenue. This year's results are in, and they are not encouraging. 2009 was one of the worst years ever for the state's most important private sector employers — if not the worst.
With a few exceptions, the companies that top the Private 150 generally range in age from 50 to 100 years old and specialize in natural resources, building or retail/distribution. They employ thousands of Oregonians, and they have suffered through a brutal two and a half years of recession.
The vast majority of Oregon's top privately held businesses lost jobs last year. Hoffman Construction, the Portland-based powerhouse that topped $1 billion in revenue in 2008, fell back below the billion-dollar mark and cut 275 jobs. The McMinnville-based aviation giant Evergreen Holdings shaved 570 jobs from its complex global network of operations. Glendale-based lumber producer Swanson Group & Affiliates eliminated 490 jobs, all of them in Oregon.
What makes these losses all the more devastating is the fact that private sector jobs were already down last year — way down. Most of the major employers that managed to avoid layoffs in 2009 had already made significant cuts in 2008, when Jeld-Wen shaved 500, Ron Tonkin dropped 214, Les Schwab cut 206 and Roseburg Forest Products laid off 200.
It takes some searching to find any job increases at all among this year's top 150. But there are a few. Reser's Fine Foods, the Beaverton-based processor of famous potato salads and salsas, grew from 2,100 employees to 2,300. Vigor Industrial, the Frank Foti-led conglomerate which runs the Portland Shipyard, expanded from 500 jobs to 700.
And while the Portland-based IT security business Tripwire did not report any job gains, it has reported that it plans to go public, breaking Oregon's IPO drought along with Erickson Air-Crane. With luck a fresh influx of money will enable Tripwire and Erickson to expand and create jobs both inside and outside of their organizations, and with more luck that trend will spread over time. But it will take a long time and a lot of work to compensate for all that has been lost over the past two and a half years.

JC Penney Posts Narrower 2Q Loss, Exceeding Analysts' Expectations
PLANO, Texas (AP) - J.C. Penney Co. (JCP) on Thursday reported a narrower loss in its fiscal second quarter, and topped analysts' expectations.
The Plano, Texas-based company reported a loss of $172 million, or 56 cents per share, compared with a loss of $586 million, or $2.66 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.
Losses, adjusted for one-time gains and costs, were 75 cents per share. The average estimate of analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment Research was for a loss of 98 cents per share.
The company said revenue rose 5 percent to $2.8 billion from $2.66 billion in the same quarter a year earlier, and beat Wall Street forecasts. Analysts expected $2.79 billion, according to Zacks.
J.C. Penney shares added 67 cents, or 6.9 percent, to $10.41 in after-hours trading. The shares have gained 6.5 percent in 2014, but are off 26 percent in the past 12 months.

Untamed Americas(TV) (2012)
Outside the concrete jungles and just minutes from our own backyards, another world is fighting, thriving, and surviving. Witness the elegance, power, and speed of a world rarely captured in National Geographic's miniseries focused solely on the continent of America. Scaling mountains from north to south, crossing harsh, dry deserts, trekking through forests and circling the coasts, Untamed America takes a fresh look at life, death, familiar creatures and scientific revelations.
For more about Untamed Americas and the Untamed Americas Blu-ray release, see Untamed Americas Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on July 30, 2012 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5.

Untamed Americas Blu-ray Review
Planet Geographic.
Reviewed by Jeffrey Kauffman, July 30, 2012
Long before there was Planet Earth or Blue Planet or Human Planet or practically any other kind of "planet", there was National Geographic, which used to crank out highly anticipated specials for broadcast television before finding their own corner of the cable universe on the National Geographic channel. National Geographic continues to offer a really stunning array of nature related outings, both one offs and short run series, most if not all of them featuring absolutely jaw dropping videography and usually featuring star narrators who occasionally wax just a little poetic as they describe the goings on that the viewer is watching. Untamed Americas is yet another jewel in National Geographic's rather impressive crown, featuring gorgeous shots of scenery and wildlife spread over both North America and South America, split into easily digestible episodes built around various focusing elements like Mountains, Deserts, Coasts and Forests. Josh Brolin contributes some genial narration, but the real star here is the absolutely awesome photography (and some truly spectacular sound recording as wellmore about that later) that will certainly delight any armchair nature lover.
The four episodes included in Untamed Americas are:
The episode starts off with a long segment dealing with a lone wolf hunting some migrating caribou. The caribou migration is the largest migration of mammals in North America, and despite the sheer number of the beasts that are on hand, the wolf still has an incredibly hard time managing to track one down to finally enjoy a meal after having expended literally thousands of calories chasing after various potential snacks. Aside from the impressive, often unbelievably candid, footage caught here, this little segment is incredibly artful with its sound design. How the wizards at National Geographic were able to capture the sound of this wolf actually panting as it chases the caribou is just one thing astute listeners may be wondering about as they watch.
The episode goes on to show some literal head butting with the unbelievably aggressive behaviors of Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep as they battle to see who will get the spoils, meaning the chance to mate with the herd's females. There's also some gorgeously scenic footage of Yellowstone in winter where we see elk who are caught in the frosty climate and must give birth in the lowlands, not their accustomed tactic. Of course there's a predator waiting for these newborn, and we see the circle of life play out as black bears try to make short work of the little elk babies.
The "backbone" of mountains that runs virtually the entire length of North and South America is followed as we get some equally nice footage in Nicaragua, where in one the episode's most unusual sequences, we follow bright green parakeets who actually next inside the dome of a Volcan Nindiri, an active volcano. How the birds survive the sulfuric atmosphere of the volcano still stumps scientists to this day. A television debut of sorts is claimed for this episode as it reveals the pollinating efforts of a really weird looking creature called the tube lipped nectar bat.
America's deserts are described as being among the hottest and driest places on Earth, which probably shouldn't come as much of a surprise to most people, but what some may find surprising is the incredible abundance of life that manages to survive, and even thrive, in these unbelievably harsh conditions. The first animal profiled is an icon of the American West, the Mustang. Few people probably know that settlers actually brought horses to the Great Basin Desert between the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevadas over a century ago, and wild descendants of those horses still forage in the barren environment to this day. The main story unfolding in this sequence deals with an 11 year old male, an "old timer" by horse standards, who is trying to finagle his way into a band of younger horses so that he might survive.
A number of the major arid regions that dot the Americas are featured in this episode, including the driest desert on Earth, the Atacama. This desert features probably the most unlikely denizen anyone could ever predict would call a desert home: penguins! Later the episode journeys to the Sonoran, which has more life than any desert on the continent despite receiving fewer than three inchdes of rain per year. One of the interesting species profiled here is a plant: the Saguaro Cactus, which can actually suck up over 200 gallons of water from a single rainfall.
There is some brief information and even footage repeated from the Mountains episode here, as Deserts journeys to the Altiplano in the middle of the Andes. With rare snowstorms providing a high altitude water table, bizarre inland lakes form that eventually settle into caustic pool full of salt. Against considerable odds, these pools provide a resplendent landing area for flocks of bright pink flamingoes.
This waterlogged episode journeys around the globe visiting the planet's major waterways and oceans, starting in what Brolin calls the "richest water in the world", the Peruvian coast off of South America. This region is a major breeding ground for sea lions, and the beaches are absolutely teeming with the massive creatures as well as huge numbers of newborn pups. There's some fairly disturbing imagery here as adolescent males, not yet able to mate, take their frustration out on the newborn pups, picking the poor little babies up in their mouths and flinging them around on the rocky shores. Again, as with the wolf sequence in Mountains, the sound recording here is amazing. The little yelps the pups make are clearly caught and the frantic screams of terror from the little ones as the "teens" bully them are frightening and unsettling.
There's some underwater footage that is really pretty amazing in the next sequence, as the Sea of Cortez on the Baja Peninsula is explored. El Diablo Rojo, also known as The Red Devil and/or Humboldt squid, is profiled. The eyes on these creatures are just plain weird looking and the cameramen have gotten some unbelievably "up close and personal" footage here, including shots of the squid "communicating" with each other by flashing their luminescent skin. We also follow other disparate creatures who migrate from the Baja Peninsula north to Alaska, including whales and dolphins.
Among the other areas looked at are the Falkland Islands, where we get another look at penguins (in a perhaps more expected environment than a desert), the Arctic Ocean and polar bears (where climate change isn't explicitly mentioned but whose effects are shown in some pretty devastating footage), and just for contrast's sake, the tropical waters of the Atlantic and Caribbean Sea, where shots include some gorgeous coral reef and a really beautiful multi-colored tortoise.
This episode is kind of unusually structured, in that the focal element of the forest is not its only organizing element. Additionally, this episode follows the change of the seasons, as well see various forest environments weather everything from huge snowstorms to arid summers. The episode starts out in the Amazon, the largest rain forest on Earth, and follows a hungry jaguar as it tries to evade a scheming crocodile that is actually the big cat's better when the feline has to tread waterways to get to food.
Though it isn't given an explicit name in this episode, the next area profiled is described as one of the largest temperate rainforests in the world, one which stretches from British Columbia to Alaska. There's a really interesting look at a species of bear that few people probably even know exists. While it's technically a black bear, it has a genetic anomaly which makes its coat white, and it bears (sorry) the moniker "spirit bear". It takes advantage of the salmon returning home to spawn in the fall for a chance to enjoy a major fish feast.
Each of the seasons offers a chance to profile different species that call forests home, so for instance winter shows hungry wolves trying to bring down elk in huge snowdrifts. Spring features a busy mother beaver trying to spruce up her dam after a winter spent beneath an ice floe. Summer brings new challenges as bison and other creatures try to evade a forest fire caused by several lightning strikes.
Untamed Americas Blu-ray, Video Quality
Untamed Americas is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of National Geographic with an AVC encoded 1080i transfer in 1.78:1. This is yet another sparklingly clear high definition presentation that only very fleetingly reveals its interlaced source, and then rather ironically mostly in the brief prelude that features skyscrapers and cityscapes, which have some minor stability issues. Otherwise, this is a stunning looking outing, with bold, bright colors (sometimes rather graphically so, after some prey is brought down in a lot of blood and gore). Contrast is invariably strong and fine object detail is literally astounding at times (take a gander at screencap #2 for a great example).
Untamed Americas Blu-ray, Audio Quality
Untamed Americas features a lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 that really showcases the incredibly fine sound recording techniques of the filmmaking crew, as mentioned above. When an animal's heartbeat becomes an integral part of an episode (and seems to be an actual recording, not some interpolated effect), you know you're getting something pretty special in terms of nature documentaries. Surround activity is fairly consistent here, at least when ambient environmental sounds come into play. Brolin's narration is front and center, as is to be expected. Fidelity is excellent and dynamic range is rather wide.

ELI Podcast: Human Futures for Technology and Education
In this hour long podcast we feature a speech by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University, entitled, "Human Futures for Technology and Education". It was delivered at the ELI 2008 Annual Meeting.
Digital information technologies have profound implications for education and force us to rethink how we teach, what we teach, and who we think we are teaching. Understanding these implications and rethinking education will help us prepare our students to build a more human future in an increasingly digital environment.

Linux.conf.au - Day Four
Day four of the conference opened with a keynote entitiled "Hackers at the End of the World" by Glyn Moody. Glyn explored the history of sharing in science and art as inspired by the open source movement, and contrasted this with the anti-sharing 'my gain is your loss' culture of the global financial community. Glyn postulated that the sharing and indeed sharing of sharing that characterises the FOSS community held a tantalising glimpse of a solution to the global financial and environmental crisis.
Jeremy Allison brought forward an extremely provocative look at Microsoft's overtures to the open source community with "The Elephant in the Room - Microsoft and Free Software". Jeremy took the audience through Microsoft's duality in recent times in attempting to reconsile with the open source community at the same time working against them in the political and regulartory arena.
Jonathan Oxer delighted attendees with a talk on "Tux on the Moon", showcasing the Lunar Numbat project and it's efforts to partner with the Google Lunar X-Prize team White Label Space to "... put a Linux powered robotic Australian marsupial on the moon".
The day was concluded by a Professional Delegates Networking Session at the Wellington Opera House. The final day of the conference will open with a short keynote by Nat Torkington and a series of lightning talks, with the conference Penguin dinner closing the evening activities.

Marques De Riscal Proximo Rioja 2009
Winemaker's Notes:
Marqués de Riscal, the oldest Rioja house, has for many years been a leading and pioneering company in the wine producing sector. As far back as 1858, it became the first winery in Rioja to produce wines following the Bordeaux method, and in 1972 it was the first winery to promote the Rueda Designation of Origin, where it produced its famous Marqués de Riscal white wines. Marqués de Riscal sells its products in 80 countries and its wines enjoy the highest international distinctions as well as numerous awards and mentions in the media. In the D.O Rueda area, Marqués de Riscal has 225 hectares of vineyard in which it grows, among other varieties, the indigenous Verdejo vine. A versatile grape with lots of character and personality, it is well suited to the area's extreme conditions, making it possible to obtain fresh white or cask-fermented white wines. This French Sauvignon Blanc variety, which Marqués de Riscal uses for this varietal wine, originates from the Loire Valley region. It was introduced in Rueda by Marqués de Riscal in 1974 and today the bodega grows 70 hectares in its estate vineyards. Nowadays it is one of the officially permitted varieties of the Denominación de Origen Rueda, thanks to its ability to adapt to the soil and produce white wines with great aromatic intensity, good balance of acidity and hints of minerals. This 'Sauvignon Rueda' shows a pale yellow in colour with hints of green. It has a highly intense, fruity nose, with ripe berries, citrus fruit, pineapple and grapefruit. On the palate it has an underlying mineral presence and a fresh and aromatic sensation in the long, lingering finish. This wine is the perfect match for all kinds of shellfish and pasta. Ideal as an aperitif.

Member Reviews for Marques De Riscal Proximo RiojaAdd your review
Wonderful wine for the price, especially from this well known Spanish establishment. More fruit forward that I was expecting. Also jammy with red fruits and a hint of bitter spice. Little bit of heat to it that slowly calms as it breaths. Not one to hold on to, Drink now!
Four glasses
External Reviews for Marques De Riscal Proximo Rioja
A blend of 85% Verdejo and 15% Viura. Its aroma is intensely floral, similar to violets with a caramel background. Almost colorless, it contains a pale nuance, and is light and fresh on the palate.
Pale color. Pungent aromas of pineapple, white grapefruit, tarragon and spices. Supple, juicy, dry and suave, with moderately ripe flavors. Narrows slightly toward the back, finishing with a mineral note and a slight harshness.
Assertive grass and herbal flavors, backed by crisp acidity, knife through the rather unctuous texture in this white, which is thick yet firm. Drink now.
Light- to medium-bodied, and crisp, this pineappley wine also suggest pear, citrus and quince. Finishes long, tart and mouthwatering - a worthy apéritif.
Plump and juicy with slightly candied red cherry fruit to go along with a touch of licorice on the plush finish.All silky, soft and easy to quaff. An impressive new wine from an impressive old winery.93% Tempranillo, 5% Graciano and 2% Manzuelo from Rioja.
Made from 85% Verdejo and 15% Viura grapes, this white is crisp and fruity with a floral bouquet. No oak is used, so the ripe fruit flavors come through beautifully.
Even and medium-weight, this Rueda white shows hay and a slight sour-apple quality. Smoothly textured, it guides across the palate easily and into a broad, dry finish with faint white pepper notes. Appealing, if perhaps a little mature.

Moose Hunting Season Begins Saturday
By Associated Press
Hunters are gearing up for New Hampshire's annual moose hunt later this month.
A total of 275 permits were issued through a lottery and randomly selected by computer from 13,400 applicants. Another five permits were issued to the highest bidders in an auction to benefit the Wildlife Heritage Foundation of New Hampshire. One additional permit was issued to a young person with serious medical conditions through the Hunt of a Lifetime program.
Each hunter is assigned to hunt in one of 22 wildlife management units. Many go out before the nine-day season starts to scout potential hunting spots.
This year's season is for nine days starting on Saturday.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
New on DVD/VoD
FREED from the gag-a-minute obligations of Family Guy and its various spinoffs, Seth MacFarlane demonstrates that he can actually win laughs with a single, coherent feature-length narrative storyline.
Granted, that storyline is as high-concept as an '80s body switch movie: Little friendless kid Johnny wishes his teddy bear could be his best pal, and magically, the toy comes to life. And by the time Johnny is a man of 35 (Mark Wahlberg), Ted (voiced by MacFarlane) has grown up with him as a lewd, crude, slacker who loves noting better than to get high and watch the magnificent '80s awfulness that is Flash Gordon.
That existence might be fine, except Johnny is celebrating his fourth year with his girlfriend (Mila Kunis), and, well, it might be time to grow up past the teddy bear. (MacFarlane is an atheist, but the whole movie does seem a perverse meditation of the line in Corinthians: "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
As with Family Guy, the humour is still rude, perhaps even more so on the "unrated" Blu-ray edition. But MacFarlane has honed his vocal delivery to the point where just about everything the bear says is funny, as when Ted must don a cute little suit and tie to go to a job interview, observing: "I look like something you give your kid when you tell him grandma died."
The Blu-ray DVD extras include a deconstruction of the knock-down, drag-out fight between Johnny and Ted that demonstrates just how challenging it is to work with a plush toy, and how Wahlberg rose to the occasion, not just in sharing scenes, but acting as a pretty adept straight man. 'Ö'Ö'Ö 1/2 out of five
The Bourne Legacy
GIVEN that this fourth entry in the Bourne movies is something of a squeeze at the franchise cash cow, a better title might have been The Bourne Lactation.
But co-writer/director Tony Gilroy (who had a hand in the screenplay of all the previous Bourne movies but did not direct any of them) adds something fresh into the mix with a new tormented hero, Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner), and a different dynamic: The Bourne Legacy is largely an old-school damsel-in-distress story.
Another super-assassin in the secret program that also created Matt Damon's amnesiac superspy Jason Bourne, Cross is training in the wilds of Alaska when the events of the third film, The Bourne Supremacy, are taking place. A cadre of ruthless government overseers headed by Edward Norton's Col. Eric Byer are forced to pull the plug on the program, which means disposing of all the super-agents.
The resourceful Cross survives the attempt on his life and makes a beeline for a medical facility where he has been prescribed "chems" that sustain his super-agent mojo. Unfortunately, the whole plug-pulling thing encompasses the medical team that helped create Team Bourne, resulting in a massacre that leaves only one survivor, Dr. Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz).
Aaron and Marta, it appears, need each other to survive.
As with the previous films, drama is wrung from a combination of manly running/fighting/shooting in one location with government operatives monitoring in another video-screen-equipped location. The Bourne movies nail the contemporary phenomenon of remote-control violence perpetrated by white-collar techies both physically and emotionally removed from the messy business of bloodletting.
Gilroy generates considerable tension too, whether in a pretty spectacular climactic chase through the streets of Manila, or the especially riveting scene in which Marta is visited at home by a government psychologist with an unsavoury notion of the concept of debriefing. 'Ö'Ö'Ö 1/2

Should be the same as a shinigami. I mean, Vaizards are shinigami who obtained hollow powers, so they should retain the same sword release effect; meaning, sword amplifies their strength in some form (where as for the hollows, the sword releases the seal on their strength).
It's normal...we've seen Kensei's shikai, it's a pretty normal release, (a one edged knife with a ring next to the handle that allows the knife to be rotated freely).
yea but we haven't seen one vaizard with a shikai release. they all seem to be fighting with non-released zampaktou and their mask on. its either:
1. not releasing their zampaktou makes it easier for them to handle the reiatsu.
2. they just dont know Bankai
3. they just dont wanna or there's no need to release it.
It's also quite possible that releasing their Zanpakutou at their level of ... exposure to their hollow side, may very well trigger an uprising and thus be difficult to control.
Also, please learn to spell zanpakuto.
yeah. if they can hold hollow ichigo off for that long they are strong enough to have their own bankai, im pretty sure they all do.
Actually now that I think about it there are some other options for power than just bankai even among shinigami. Look at Yoruichi, for instance. Since she was covert ops rather than Gotei 13, it's possible that they don't require bankai of their leaders. It could be that she isn't past shikai and never will be, and that she simply compensates with her mastery of the other combat forms and techniques such as shunko. (More likely Kubo just hasn't shown hers yet, but I'm just throwing the idea out there.)
So there might be a couple kido gods in there, or some whose shinigami abilities are relatively undeveloped but who have mastered their hollow abilities. (If vizard can use cero they can probably learn bala and hierro as well.)
i think mastering the hollow side gives your reiatsu a boost, which is why they dont have trouble handling hollow ichigo.
besides,they kept rotating shifts so its possible that they cant really handle him.
that lisa female was using some hand to hand move,so erachima's theory has some credibility.

Looking for Merced Tomato Seeds
Folks I live in Central Arkansas and I want to try a new tomato for me which is a Merced but I cannot find any seeds. Can someone direct me to a place I can acquire a few seeds, I only need six or so.
Merced hybrid tomato has been discontinued.
The last time I saw plants for sale was 2007 in Austin, Texas at Home Depot and Wal*Mart. They were Bonnie Plant Farm plants. Apparently BPF still had some seeds. I didn't see them for sale in 2008.
Merced was a very good determinate producer in 2007, which was an extremely hot and dry summer for me here in S.W. Indiana. Impressive variety. Too bad it's been discontinued.
[From Jerry Parsons]
In the 30 years which I have been in San Antonio as a horticulturist for Texas Cooperative Extension, this system of cooperative testing and local marketing has introduced productive hybrid tomatoes (Spring Giant, Big Set, Celebrity, Jack Pot, Bingo, Carnival, Whirlaway, Heatwave, SunMaster, Surefire and Merced Now, most of these tried-and-proven superior varieties are no longer available for home gardeners to enjoy. How and why could something like this happen?
The short story is: There are only a few vegetable seed companies left in the world and they are eliminating the older, Texas-proven varieties in favor of new, "improved' hybrids. This elimination includes Merced, Heatwave , Surefire, SunMaster tomatoes and Green Comet broccoli. Remaining supplies will soon be depleted. Dr. Larry Stein and I, reworked the Extension Vegetable Recommendation list and sources after a long period of denial about the non-existence of Porter & Sons Seedmen in Stephenville, Texas, which used to be a major seed supplier for Texas gardeners. The Cooperative Extension Vegetable Recommendation list and sources can be found at:
It has been removed from the market but next year (2010) I will be selling second generation seed of Merced at: http://plantanswers.com/parsons_preferred_seed.htm
The seed available for sale and use in this listing is available ONLY from PLANTanswers.com and have been selected by Jerry Parsons, Texas A&M University System Professor and Extension Horticulturist-retired, for uniqueness of disease resistance, dependable yields, and quality fruit with special characteristics only found in this listing. Complete growing instructions are
Seed of the Texas SuperStar tomato varieties (Merced and Surefire) have been discontinued so those seed will soon be eliminated from the market. SunMaster and Heatwave have also met similar fates. However, the most recent SuperStar tomato named 'Tomato444' can be found in the list as BHN444 and a new tomato named SunLeaper (available from Stoke's Seeds Ltd. http://www.stokeseeds.com/cgi-bin/StokesSeeds.storefront) is showing promise as per our demonstrations at:
So, we recommend for tomatoes this spring that gardeners use Carnival, Celebrity, SunPride and/or Tomato444 for seed-you-can-find home garden tomatoes. If gardeners will look around the Internet, they may also be able to find seed of Amelia and SunLeaper which have also performed well for San Antonio gardeners.
Here is a link that might be useful: Plant Answers
I got Sun Master from TGS last year. Didn't look this year. Not that great a tomato. BHN 444 is awful. I think Carnival has been discontinued or is hard to find. I'm thinking it must have one of the same parents as Bush Celebrity as that also seems to have disappeared. Amelia is okay.
I had great luck with bhn 444's,,,,they are a staple in my garden...I also grew Merced,,I wish I would have saved some seeds...never thought they would phase them out..
You could try Rainbow Gardens here in San Antonio...they have old and different varieties ,,but plants only..no seeds
Good new, We have Merced tomato seeds. We were able to get some to sell from a family that has grown them for 40 years. We sell them at maggiesgardenseeds.com or you can find us on facebook at Maggie's Garden Seeds. Hope this helps, maybe we can bring this favorite back. :) Have a great day. Maggie

my first time going vertical
My garden is fairly small, about 25ft square, and last year my tomatoes literally took over an entire corner, and the cukes another corner. It was impossible to get between the beds to harvest the veggies. I want to try going vertical this year, and have a few questions. I have no walls or tall fences near the garden so all trellises would be free-standing.
I'd like to do the style of trellis that arches over the path so you can simply pick the veggies from underneath. I've seen these done with a few different materials, with different size spaces. Ideally, a material would have spaces small enough to keep the plants growing on top without constantly having to reposition and tie them, but would allow the baby veggies to fall through and grow hanging underneath. Is this possible, or will the plants require tying no matter what? What size spaces work best?
I'm in MN, where the growing season is rather short, and right now I have 2 feet of snow on top of my garden, so I don't have high hopes for an early planting- the usual planting date here is Mother's Day weekend. Will the plants grow enough in this short summer to be worth doing arches, or am I better off with something shorter? Judging by last year my indeterminate tomatoes will get plenty big, but they were such a tangled mess I'm not sure how long they actually got.
Does it matter which direction the trellises are facing? The way my garden is laid out, the arches could go east/west or north/south. Will it matter which plants go on which side?
I have had very good luck going vertical, zone 4 in Michigan. As far as coverage in a short season I would recommend going with things like beans for an arch. I have moderate luck with cucumbers but they don't seem to last as long and look bad when they die off, you can prevent this by planting new seedlings every few weeks - seed between the existing plants.
We have had good results trellising watermelon and muskmelon as well but you'll have to support these with some type of net.
As for direction, I prefer East West for most veggies. In the sprit of companion planting I plant full sun plants like peppers on the South side of the row, partial sun like broccoli and lettuce on the North side.
As for tomatoes, I will normally plant them on a North South orientation or put them in a cage.
Take care to build your trellises sturdy, when they fill in they will act as a sail. I had a bean trellis actually snap in half, and it was made with steel pipe.
Good luck
I use steel wire fencing warped around 3/4" steel pipe. The opening on the fencing is normally around 3" by 5", it can be found at Tractor Supply. Length of the rows (trellis) is about 5' any longer and you'll need additional support plus -that's how "tall" the fencing I like to get is.
It works well.
I normally go up about 5', then up further on a 45 deg. angle for another 3'. This allows me to harvest under the canopy while still having individual trellises vs an arch that grows from both sides. For this you'll need a piece of fencing 8' feet long - the width of your row will be equal to the height of the fencing your using -if that makes sense.
