A Chinese Instacart clone raises $100 million
Dmall takes grocery orders online and employs workers who buy the items in supermarkets and delivery them quickly to consumers.
The last recession offers lessons that may help retailers ride out any double-dip downturn that may lie ahead.
What does this week's sharp drop in stock prices mean for online retailers?
The answer depends, of course, on whether the market keeps going down or reverses course. If it keeps dropping, consumers will feel less wealthy and more concerned about their jobs. That means they are likely to spend less, which would hurt all retailers, online and offline. A quick rebound in the market could make this just a worrisome blip on the way to a solid holiday season online.
This sharp decline brings to mind similar events in the fall of 2008. In both cases, the market drop was precipitated by developments in the financial world far removed from the lives of most consumers. But those developments in 2008 quickly led to an economic slowdown that cost millions of Americans their jobs. And that led to a slump that did not spare online retailing. By comScore's reckoning there were four quarters of declining or flat online retail sales from late 2008 through the summer of 2009.
The good news for online retailers is that e-commerce bounced back more rapidly from the recession. Online retail's growth rates have been at least three times the growth rate of bricks-and-mortar stores for the past year. The bad news for all retailers is that we're starting from a higher level of unemployment this time: 9.2% today versus 6.2% in September 2008.
However, online retailers are better positioned to withstand any double-dip recession that might unfold, suggests Eric Best, CEO of Mercent, which helps retailers sell on online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay, Google Product Search and comparison shopping engines. "The more price-sensitive consumers become, the more they'll rely on online research for any considered purchase," Best says.
And online retailers have one big thing going for them today they didn't have in 2008, Best adds. Today, tens of millions of consumers carry smartphones that enable them to access the web at any time, including when they're standing in the aisles of a bricks-and-mortar store. That means a web retailer that makes itself visible and accessible to mobile shoppers—through mobile paid search ads and by maintaining a mobile-optimized commerce site among other marketing methods—can poach sales from physical stores more easily than was possible in 2008.
Another difference: gas prices are much higher today, which seems to be one reason more consumers are shopping from home rather than driving to the mall. The global economic crisis appears likely to lower gas prices, but they may well remain high enough to make web shopping attractive to cash-strapped shoppers.
Here's something else to consider: During the 2008-2009 recession large online retailers gained market share from smaller ones, according to comScore's estimates. That's started to reverse in recent quarters. Why? ComScore vice president of industry analysis Andrew Lipsman says it's because larger e-retailers were more likely to maintain their marketing spend during the downturn than smaller ones, and thus gained market share. In recent periods, as the economy has rebounded, smaller retailers have resumed marketing themselves online and regained some ground, Lipsman says.
The lesson for e-retailers seems to be not to pull back too sharply on marketing during any recession that may develop, as many consumers still will be shopping online, especially those who are most price-sensitive. And if you don't have a mobile commerce site, you should seriously consider building one.

help with an old Healing

Re: help with an old HealingThat looks seriously cool, wouldn't really suit this bike but i'm going to keep my eyes open for a really old one now, just to suit that light lol. I've sandblasted the cranks and there wasn't a speck of chrome left on them so i'm going to get in touch with Kunda Park Electroplating here on the sunshine coast to get them rechromed, i'll let you know how it goes. Next job is cleaning up the front wheel/hub to find any distinguishing markings, i might end up just using 27 x 1-1/4 wheels though, as it's something i'm familiar with and trust. In due course i'll remove the ye olde dynamo light and get the electrician at my work to see if it can be fixed. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: help with an old Healingjust sandblasted the front wheel/hub to look for identifying markings, nothing on the rim but the hub is marked BAYLISS MADE IN ENGLAND. Any thoughts on these hubs?
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: help with an old Healingsandblasted the rear wheel today, the hub (coaster brake) has a grease nipple in the middle and is marked 'Favourite', with what looks like a Z inside a circle, the reaction arm is marked PERRY made in england, and has 2 large stars. Any info on this brand?

Re: help with an old Healing
Bayliss-Wiley made high quality steel bicycle parts from at least circa 1920 upto the mid 50's. I have a 'Victory' racer from the mid 30's which is totally Bayliss componant equipped. They also ventured into alloy hubs at some point I believe. Cheers Richard
Re: help with an old HealingThanks for that, i googled bayliss but only found pics of high flange alloy hubs so thought that this one being low flange, steel and only marked bayliss rather than bayliss-wiley, it may have been low end poor quality stuff they had put out.

Re: help with an old HealingWell there's been a BIG gap but i'm finally back into it now, i've got other bikes out of the way and i'm all fired up to (maybe) finish off the Healing, removed the forks this morning and pulled off the brakes and dynamo. Sandblasted the brake and dynamo mount (the 'bottle' of the dynamo appears to be alloy but the neck is a bit blistered like rust under chrome?) and gave the forks a good wash, the paint is too far gone though so definitely full strip and repaint.
Weird Brampton headset on it with millions of tiny loose balls, does anyone know if these headsets are still available? I'll get some pics up tomorrow hopefully, i might be able to reuse the headset with new balls (because i lost at least half of them ).

Re: help with an old HealingWhen man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: help with an old Healing
I haven't found a source for the headsets(i could use a few) but there is usually 30 ball bearings per side if that helps.
Re: help with an old HealingI'm embarrassed at how long this has been sitting around, this post is really just to bump it a little higher up my list of posts so i don't lose it again. Since August i've done.....ah nothing at all. But after seeing a beautiful 1953 Malvern Star at the Noosa L'Eroica show n shine, i'm inspired to restore my Healing to absolute perfection. The next month or two i'm planning on just sourcing all the parts i need or restoring the originals if possible.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: help with an old Healing
Thanks for bumping it. It might inspire me too. I have a nice Healing covered in blue house paint. I also bought a coronation ladies malvern star at the same auction coverd in the same blue paint. It seems to be a certain aged man that thinks ..hmmm I'll sell these old bikes and just freshen them up first to be helpful House paint on everything will work! BTW I have some Bayliss-Wiley low flange alloy hubs I laced to fiamme red labels which I currently ride with this bike. I estimate these are from the late '30s from knowing of the fellow whose wife gave them to me. They are absolutley smooth quality units and rare as hens teeth as far as I can find out.
Re: help with an old Healing
you have just over 5 months to get the Coronation up and going!
Re: help with an old HealingAnd remove the beautiful house paint
Its a '55 model going by the serial number. I think they were so popular they made them for a few years. So maybe I have 3 years yet
Re: help with an old HealingNow i have some extra motivation for this project, a matching ladies bike! A few questions with that one, the front hub is marked 333 then a capital P in a circle, then 5353 and possibly a hand engraved 64 but that may be my eyes playing tricks. Any ideas what that may be?
It also has Austral cranks, so far i can't find any date codes on them, do they have any? When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: help with an old Healinginteresting thread, just picked up an incomplete Healing frame (bolt on rear from seat post to drop outs), those bolt on bits are missing as are the crank and handlebars.... if anyone is interested in the rest of the frame and fork drop us a PM for pics, probably let you have it for not much more than postage.....
Just an ol' man, riding an ol' bike.... every hill feels like Alpe d'Heuz....
Re: help with an old Healing
A bit OT but just the other day i saw a bloke in civvies riding an alloy GT road bike (brifters and all) with the bars flipped. And there's an older bloke i see around Coolum fairly regularly on a full carbon GT (nice bit of gear) of ethnic descent, who always wears the same pair of shorts and t shirt. Just bought the decals for the Healing (not the same as original but it will have to do, if i was to go for original the bike would have to wait and deteriorate for a few more years) and should have it off to the sandblasters for stripping and priming next week. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: help with an old HealingI have just been given an old Healing from the Thirties. Any info on these bikes or how to restore it would be appreciated. As soon as I work out how to post photos I will.
Re: help with an old HealingG'day moofish, welcome to the forum. Firstly, pics will help us all (when you are able) to help you First thing - is the frame a size that you could ride? Next, I'd assess the bike for safety - your health is the primary consideration! Is there any obvious damage (bent/cracked tubing, broken rear stays, rusted spokes, dodgy welding repairs, severe rust, etc) to the frame, handlebars, rims, running gear, etc? Do you know what its storage conditions have been like? Because 50+ years in a damp shed will cause internal rust that you might not see from the outside. Anyways, if you think it's at all unsafe and don't know much about bikes, you could ask (if you're in Melbourne) a knowledgeable/sympathetic-towards-old-bikes LBS like Abbotsford Cycles what their opinion is. Or a friendly forum member could perhaps check it out for you? Just be wary if they offer you ca$h for it on the spot
Once you've established it's sound, have a think about what you want to do with it. Full resto? Sympathetic clean and service? If the paint scheme is in good order then I would suggest not changing a thing. Clean it carefully and keep the patina, because you can only ruin an old bike once. Even a faded paintjob can look pretty interesting once a frame is cleaned and protected with something like beeswax. Only if its an absolute external mess would I consider re-painting it. Take lots of pics if you do. That's my opinion. And no powdercoat!!!!!! The other thing to consider is the running gear and what you want from a bike. Eg is it single speed and you live in steep-hill-town? Are the brakes adequate to save your neck in an emergency braking situation? Do you want to convert from steel rims to alloy (for better braking and more tyre choice)? Then perhaps a sympathetic period upgrade of some parts is the next step. Save your coin and buy those bits. So, the bike seems safe, will suit your needs and you have the parts you want. Then get it serviced at a sympathetic LBS (again, Abbotsford Cycles), or if you have the skills do it yourself. And get riding! Good luck with putting the Healing back on the road. Oh, the other thing is you will soon have a whole lot of other vintage bicycles to hide from friends, family, loved ones, etc. When the vintage bug bites, it bites deep ...
Re: help with an old HealingThank you very much for your welcome. OK I have taken some photos but I cant work out how to post them. I got into mountain biking just under a year ago so I have almost no experience with bikes at all let alone restoring a vintage bike. But I am industrial sparky and I love to tinker with stuff and learn how stuff works. I love old engineering so I think this is a cool bike from that point of view. The bike has been hanging in a shed in rural South Oz so it wasnt in a museum but it was very dry. All the rust appears to be surface only. What I would like from the bike is just the fun of restoring something so nicely made and learning how to do it along the way. I can spray paint fairly well and I have started to learn pinstriping. So Im hoping its within my skillset to restore it. My rationale is that it was going in the scrap metal bin so even if I do a crappy job at least its still around. If all goes well I would love to ride it and if I put the seat down I can fit but I just want to rescue it. If its not too expensive I would like to keep it all period. The bottom bracket lug has 2436 stamped into it, does this refer to the age? My wifes uncle gave the bike to me after throwing it out in a clean up. He is 75 and says he had it in the thirties so I dont know how old it is. The headstem badge is not a chrome H it is a decal and it looks like it was put on before the lugs? odd The paintwork is pretty much shot but you can see the pinstriping and two tone paintwork would have looked cool. Even the wheels have handpainted pinstripes very cool. So thanks again for the welcome and any advice will be appreciated. Tomorrow I'll be going to the LBS to look for 28x1 3/8 Tyres and really long spokes!
Re: help with an old HealingOooh piccies! .
Very interesting bit of gear you've got there, and good to see the saddle looks usable, Bells aren't easy to find nowadays. I'm sure i've seen head lugs like that before somewhere, curious. When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments- Elizabeth West.
Re: help with an old Healingwow that was quick! Any idea on the year?
Re: help with an old HealingThanks for pics moofish. I'd have a guess and say this is actually a much older bicycle that has had a Healing repaint and decal job. In the past (I'm talking in grandpa's day) it was common to take in your old bicycle and have it "refreshed" in-house at your LBS. Those really squared-off headset lugs and horizontal cut-outs may be clue ... any chance of a pic of the rear-wheel dropouts? More clues there perhaps ...
Re: help with an old HealingDo these help? I loosened up the chain enough to turn the pedals. The coaster brake even works! Not bad considering it has been in a shed for 50 years! The question is is it best left as is for a museum piece lol or should I restore it. Of course i could just chuck it back in the scrap bin.(no I wouldnt)

My newest suspense novel, Burke's War, is now up and available on Kindle and has 22 Five Star Reviews out of 22 posted, for a perfect 5.0 rating! It is a contemporary, action thriller. Think 'The American Sniper' meets 'The Godfather,' or Bob Lee Swagger meets the Gambinos. It is my longest book and has the most intricate, detailed plot and cast of characters of any of them. I think it is by far my best – I think that every time – and hope you will agree. You can read the first chapter at the tab above.
All 5 of my previous suspense novels are now available on e-book as well as audio book. I have revised my website a little bit, and if you are interested in reading the first, or sample chapter of the e-books, or receiving a FREE review copy of either the e-books or audio books, please fill out the form to the right and I'll send you one while supplies last. What a Deal!! You can also use that form to send me any thoughts you have on my writing, or to get registered on the early release list for my next novel.
My fifth and newest action adventure novel, Aim True, My Brothers came out on Kindle on October 29 AND IS NOW OUT IN AUDIO BOOK. It now has 35 Amazon ratings and reviews, 30 of which are Amazon Five Stars, a 4.8 rating! That's not shabby either! This new fiction novel is a contemporary, thriller novel set today in Washington DC and Virginia, as Middle East terrorism explodes on American shores. Ibrahim Al-Bari is a highly skilled Hamas commander who has battled and killed Americans throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. After losing two brothers and a sister in a bloody attack on a civilian bus in Israel, Al-Bari decides that fighting US surrogates in far-away places is a futile waste of Palestinian blood. "To kill a snake, you must go to its lair and cut off its head," he says, as he decides to take his terror war private and strike at the heart of the American government itself. No simple man with a rifle in a book depository window; when Ibrahim Al-Bari strikes, he will unleash an old weapon that will take out the President and many other national and international leaders in a dramatic, fiery, terrorist attack on national television. In this fast-paced thriller novel, trying to stop him, is Eddie Rankin, a maverick FBI agent, who has never met a rule he couldn't break; Moustapha 'Mouse' Khalidi, the smooth, urbane Chief of Security at the Egyptian Embassy in Washington; and Rachel Ullman, a hard-edged, female Israeli Mossad agent, counter-terror specialist, and killer, who lost her own family to a suicide bomber. The question is, with their personal frictions and contradictory orders, can this temporary, dysfunctional alliance hold together long enough to catch Ibrahim Al-Bari before they kill each other — and the clock is ticking. Like my other suspense thriller novels, this is a good fiction novel available exclusively on Kindle Select and Kindle Prime. The First Chapter and numerous Reviews of this top mystery thriller can be found at this book tab. The cover was designed by Todd Hebertson a graphic designer and cover artist in Salt Lake City who does a great job capturing the essence of my thriller novels. I think both the cover and the story are among my best.
Winner Lose All, a top fiction book and page turner, was released in May on Kindle Select and Kindle Prime. A military espionage thriller, it is a history piece set in the closing months of WWII, AND ALSO IS NOW OUT IN AUDIO BOOK . As one brutal war grinds to an end in the rubble of Nazi Germany, in this suspense thriller all eyes quickly turn to the next 'cold' one. It has 104 Amazon ratings, 66 of which are 5-Star, a 4.5 rating! The Americans, the Russians, and the British all know that the future will belong to whomever can grab Hitler's new rockets, jet fighters, long-range bombers, synthetic fuels and his other 'wonder weapons.' As much an action romance as a suspense thriller novel, it is also the story of the torrid but impossible love affair between Ed Scanlon, a brilliant, young, American OSS agent and Hanni Steiner, the gritty, street-smart leader of the communist resistance cell in Leipzig. As the vice closes on Nazi Germany, they find themselves on opposite ends of an international tug of war over the plans for Germany's revolutionary Me-262 jet fighter and the scientists who designed and built it. Once-bitter enemies quickly become tomorrow's allies, old friends cannot to be trusted, and lies, double-dealing, and treachery are the norm. It is succeed or die, and the winner lose all in this thriller novel.
Amongst My Enemies was released as an e-book novel last spring. A historic period piece, this action adventure and one of my more intense thriller novels, is set in the 1950′s and deals with one man's search for redemption and revenge. Inside an old German U-Boat rusting on the bottom of the Baltic are millions in gold bars, stolen art, and a secret that could tear NATO apart. The only one who knows the truth in this military thriller is Mike Randall, a battle-scarred American who survived four months in the frozen Hell of northern Germany at the end of WW II. When he does speak up in this mystery thriller novel, he puts a target on his own forehead, one which the Russians, the West Germans, the U-boat's former owners, the Israeli Mossad, and even his own government quickly take aim at. Some want the gold, some want him dead, and some want proof about a high-ranking spy inside NATO itself, in this top thriller novel you can't put down. Randall's wants are much simpler. Caught between the Kremlin and a new, deadly, 4th Reich, he wants revenge and to satisfy some old debts with a steel-jacketed bullet. One of my best thriller novels, it now has 167 Amazon reviews, 95 of which are Five-Stars, a 4.3 rating!
Thursday at Noon, last year's new fiction release on Kindle Prime and Kindle Select, was originally published as a Joan Kahn Imprint murder mystery by St. Martin's Press in hardback, by Harlequin's Gold Eagle in paperback, and in various foreign editions. It already has 92 Amazon reviews, 49 of which are Five Star, an average rating of 4.4!. This top fiction book is a murder mystery and thriller novel you can't put down, and has been selected for a Stipend Award by Audible, the Amazon and I-Tunes audio book subsidiary, for production of the Audio Book edition. I'm sure those who read my other top fiction novels will enjoy it. It was reviewed favorably in the New Yorker and in many other major publications in the US. Set in Egypt in 1962, this thriller novel focuses on Richard Thomson, a burned-out CIA Agent. He is already having a very bad day when someone leaves a corpse lying on the rear steps of his hotel. Its head has been lopped off like a ripe melon and has been posed so it could look back down at its own body. The body belongs to Mahmoud Yussuf, a fat, petty thief who tried to sell Thomson photographs of a long-abandoned RAF base in the Egyptian desert. What the photos have to do with a dead Israeli Mossad agent, Nazi rocket scientists, the fanatical Moslem Brotherhood, and two missing Egyptian tank regiments could start the next Arab-Israeli War or stop it. Like 'Night of the Generals', this espionage and military thriller novel is a murder mystery wrapped inside an international crisis and a tense political thriller.
The Undertaker is my first original e-book thriller novel, and came out in 2011. It is a snarky, action romance thriller and an exciting, fun read — featuring stark terror punctuated by lots of humor and romance. It has 169 Amazon Reviews 84 of which are Five-Star, a 4.3 rating! It's the best murder mystery bargain on the net! Pete Talbott is a harried Boston computer wonk still grieving over the death of his wife when he finds himself at the wrong end of Gino Parini's .45 reading his own obituary, torn from the morning newspaper. He figures it is all a big mistake, until Parini shows him his wife's obituary too; and this is one mystery that Pete Talbott can't leave well-enough alone. Someone with a scalpel and an embalming table is planting bodies under other people's names. Adding a note of action romance, his pal, Sandy Kasmarek, runs an art gallery on Chicago's stylish North Michigan Avenue, and it appears her late-husband is also one of them. With a photographer's eye, the quick feet of a black belt, and fingers that can hot-wire a car in seconds, Sandy has the skills you'd expect from a good Chicago catholic-school girl. Coupled with Pete, even the Undertaker is in trouble in this top thriller novel. From a funeral home in Indiana, to car chases on the Dan Ryan, snipers in Washington Square, sleazy lawyers, corrupt county sheriffs, the FBI, and mafia hit men, like my other new fiction murder mystery books, The Undertaker is a non-stop mystery thriller novel; because if Pete and Sandy don't stop them, they'll be next on the Undertaker's list.
You can find details and links to these fiction novels elsewhere on this site. My next two thriller novels, both of which I am presently working on, are Undertaker Two, an action adventure romance with the return of everyone's favorite Pete and Sandy, and a new domestic murder mystery, Through the Glass Darkly. The Undertaker, a great murder mystery and one of my best pure thriller novels, is also available in audio book from Audible and I-Tunes. Amongst My Enemies, a fun action adventure novel will be out on audio book by mid-January, with the others to follow shortly. It was selected for a Stipend Award by Audible, the Amazon and I-Tunes audio book subsidiary. The Audio Book of The Undertaker, narrated by well-known Hollywood 'Voice Meister' Eddie Frierson, came out on Amazon, ITunes and Audible.com. on October 31. Get a copy at http://www.audible.com/pd/Fiction/The-Undertaker-Audiobook/B00GBDB644 or ask your Librarian to order one for you. It is a good action romance, mystery thriller. As of today, we completed the narration and production of the Audio Book edition of Amongst My Enemies, and we will be preparing the audio book editions of my other thriller novels over the next 6-9 months.
If you would like to receive a free promotional download copy of either audio book, please e-mail me at email@example.com and I'll send you one while they last. The only requirement is that you post a rating and review on Audible and Amazon. In addition to the six fiction thriller novels, I have written four screenplays. Three of these are adaptations of my fiction novels. One is original for the screen. My various mystery thriller screenplays have won First Place in the suspense category of the Final Draft contest, Finalist in Fade In, First Place in the Screenwriter's Utopia -Screenwriter's Showcase Awards, Second Place in the American Screenwriter's Association, Second Place at Breckenridge, and received many other awards. One was optioned. Many readers have commented that my thriller novel The Undertaker would make a great movie.

BRATTLEBORO The Brattleboro Police Department is warning about a telephone scam targeting seniors.
Police said a resident reported being contacted and asked to make an appointment to have a medical system installed.
When the person said no such system had been purchased, the caller said the device was on order and must have been bought by a loved one or someone concerned about the persons safety.
Police say the caller continued to ask for an installation date and other information.
Authorities are warning residents to be cautious of telephone calls from people they dont know.

For years I played around with barbecue baby back ribs, trying to find a way to make them so that the meat was moist and tender but also relatively quick and easy. A few years ago, Shay, who worked with me since the opening of Foster's Market, gave me her recipe for ribs, and they're as good as any I've ever had. The ribs can be baked (through step 3) up to a day in advance, but you'll need to leave them on the grill a few minutes longer to make sure they heat all the way through.
The term "living high on the hog" comes from the concept of eating the best meat on the pig, those cuts farthest from the ground, and thus has come to refer to living or eating well. Baby back ribs come from the back of the pig, about as high as it gets, and they're my favorites. They are smaller and leaner than spare ribs, which come from the belly or side of the pig. When they're cooked right, baby backs are very tender.–Sara Foster
LC Ooooh Baby Note
These baby back ribs are, quite literally and quite true to their name, fall-off-the-bone tender by the time they come out of the oven. ONly then are they tossed on the grill for a spell. The time on the grill may be relatively short, but it slaps a slightly smoky flavor onto the ribs and works some important alchemy with the barbecue sauce. Seeing as you're not standing out in the cold tending the grill for hours, seems like you can tuck into these any time of year, even midwinter come Super Bowl. [Editor's Note: On particularly chilly or windy or rainy days, we dare say these could do without the time on the grill. Just be sure to baste the ribs during the final minutes and perhaps run 'em under the broiler for just a minute or so.]
Fall-Off-the-Bone Baby Back Ribs Recipe
- 2 slabs (about 3 1/2 pounds total) baby back ribs
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 1 12-ounce bottle of beer
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 cups Chipotle Maple Barbecue Sauce, or your favorite bottled sauce (although made-from-scratch will always taste better)
- 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163° C).
- 2. To remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, slip the tip of a small, dull knife, such as a table knife, in between the membrane and bone anywhere along the edge of the slab of ribs. Lift the knife to separate the membrane from the bone, then grab the membrane with a paper towel (the towel helps keep the membrane from slipping) and rip it off.
- 3. Spread the onion slices evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Place the ribs, bone side down, on the onion. Pour the beer over the ribs, season with salt and pepper, and cover tightly with foil. Bake, undisturbed, for 2 hours.
- 4. Prepare a fire in a charcoal grill and let the coals burn to a gray ash with a faint red glow, or until you can hold your hand 3 to 4 inches above the fire for no more than 6 seconds.
- 5. Brush both sides of the baby back ribs with the barbecue sauce and place the ribs, meat side down, over the coals. Grill the ribs, basting the top side several times, until slightly charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the slab of ribs and liberally baste the cooked side. Treat the slab gingerly, so as not to lose any of the luscious meat to the flames of the grill. Close the lid of the grill and cook the ribs, basting often, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Cut the slabs into individual ribs, pile them onto a large platter, and serve warm.

When are humans most happy? To gather data on this question, Matt Killingsworth built an app, Track Your Happiness, that let people report their feelings in real time. Among the surprising results: We're often happiest when we're lost in the moment. And the flip side: The more our mind wanders, the less happy we can be. (Filmed at TEDxCambridge.)

Salmonella is a set of tools to test CHICKEN eggs. Here's a brief summary of features:
- very light on dependencies (none at the moment)
- paralellizable (salmonella-epidemy)
- can be run with or without Internet access
Note: starting on version 2.0, salmonella is a rewrite of the salmonella 1.x series, which was available since CHICKEN 2.x. The documentation for the 1.x series is still available at http://wiki.call-cc.org/egg/salmonella-1.x.
salmonella is hosted on github: https://github.com/mario-goulart/salmonella
This egg provides some command line tools. The next sections describe each of them.
This is the core tool for testing eggs. salmonella can perform the following tests:
- installation of eggs
- dependencies verification
- .meta file consistency check
- egg tests execution
- general egg consistency (i.e., can be used as an egg lint to avoid common mistakes when publishing a new egg or a new egg version)
salmonella generates a sexpr-based log file as output. That file can be used by tools like salmonella-html-report to generate a pretty output in HTML.
When executing, salmonella prints some basic information on the standard output. Detailed information can be viewed with the aforementioned salmonella-html-report or with salmonella-log-viewer, a tool which is provided by this egg. salmonella-log-viewer parses the log file generated by salmonella and formats the data on the standard output.
Command line options
Here's the output of salmonella -h with an explanation for each command line option:
salmonella [ -h | --help ] salmonella <options> eggs
<options>: --log-file=<logfile> The name for the log file to be generated by salmonella (default=salmonella.log).
--chicken-installation-prefix=<prefix dir> If you want to test eggs using a chicken installed on a certain directory, you can use this option (it should point to the same directory as given to `PREFIX' when installing CHICKEN). If omitted, salmonella uses CHICKEN tools from the system PATH variable.
--chicken-install-args=<install args> This option can be used customize chicken-install's arguments. You can use <repo> to indicate where you want the actual repository directory to be replaced by salmonella.
--eggs-source-dir=<eggs dir> By default, salmonella fetches eggs from the egg server. If you have a local copy of eggs code, you can use this option to point to the directory where they are located.
--eggs-doc-dir=<doc dir> By default, salmonella checks if documentation for eggs exist by accessing the CHICKEN wiki. If you have a local copy of the wiki documentation for eggs, you can use this option to point to the directory where they can be found.
--keep-repo For each egg that salmonella tests, it sets the egg installation repository empty and removes it at the end of its execution. This option makes salmonella keep the egg installation repository after testing each egg and after finishing its execution. This option can save a lot of time when testing several eggs, at the cost of potentially making salmonella unable to catch dependencies problems.
--skip-eggs=<comma-separated list of eggs to skip> A comma-separated list of eggs to be skipped.
--this-egg To be used from withing the egg source directory to check for common errors before releasing an egg or a new egg version.
--repo-dir=<path to repo dir to be used> Alternative location for the egg installation directory used by salmonella. By default, salmonella generates a `salmonella-tmp-xxxxx' directory in the current directory. This option can be useful when used with `--keep-repo' to reuse egg installation repositories for several salmonella executions.
--verbosity=<number> A number to indicate salmonella's verbosity level. 0 means practically silent. 1 is mostly silent and 2 (default) prints some useful information while salmonella is running.
Some quick tips by example
Simplest case: testing eggs using the remote egg server and the chicken tools (chicken-install and csi) in the system PATH
$ salmonella big-chicken slice
You can test all the available eggs using one of the following approaches:
1. If you have CHICKEN >= 4.7.2:
$ salmonella `chicken-install -list`
2. If you don't have CHICKEN >= 4.7.2:
$ salmonella `wget http://code.call-cc.org/cgi-bin/henrietta.cgi?list=1 -q -O -`
If you don't want to test some specific eggs, you can skip them:
$ salmonella --skip-eggs=macosx,hfs+ `chicken-install -list`
You can tell salmonella to use a specific CHICKEN version:
$ salmonella --chicken-installation-prefix=/usr/local/chicken-4.7.3 big-chicken slice
Not cleaning the egg installation repository after installing each egg may significantly speed up the salmonella execution time (the default behavior is to set the egg installation repository empty after testing each egg):
$ salmonella --keep-repo big-chicken slice
warning: if you use --keep-repo, salmonella will not be able to catch dependencies problems.
If you want to reuse the same egg installation repository for multiple salmonella runs, you can provide a specific directory:
$ salmonella --repo-dir=my-repo --keep-repo big-chicken slice
By default, salmonella generates a log file named salmonella.log in the current directory. You can change that by using the --log-file command line option:
$ salmonella --log-file=my-log-file.log big-chicken slice
Using salmonella as an egg lint tool
Suppose you are working on a new egg and you want to check if it is working ok before releasing it (or a new version). You can use salmonella to check it:
$ cd my-egg # where your egg code is stored $ salmonella --this-egg
This tool can be used to turn salmonella log files into something readable on the standard output.
Just provide a salmonella log file as argument to salmonella-log-viewer:
$ salmonella-log-viewer salmonella.log
Alternatively, you can use salmonella-html-report for a prettier and more complete format.
salmonella-epidemy can be used to run multiple salmonella instances in parallel. It can be handy when you have a multi-core machine and you want to make use of all cores, for example. The command line options are basically the same as for salmonella, plus a --instances=<number> to indicate how many salmonella instances you want to run in parallel.
This tool can significantly speed up salmonella execution times on multi-core machines.
Usage example:
$ salmonella-epidemy --instances=2 big-chicken slice spiffy amb
This tool simply puts more than one salmonella log into a single one, so it can be used by tools like salmonella-log-viewer and salmonella-html-report.
Usage example:
$ salmonella-log-merger --log-file=full.log file1.log file2.log
Log file format
The command line tool writes a log file which contains records in the following format:
(<egg> <action> <status> <message> <duration>)
Can be either a symbol that indicates the egg-name or #f to indicate the start and end actions (logged when salmonella is started and when it finishes testing, respectively).
A symbol to indicate the action that was executed. Can be one of the following values:
- start: starting salmonella
- fetch: fetching egg
- install: installing egg
- test: testing egg
- end: salmonella has finished
A numeric value indicating the exit status of the executed action. When the action is test and status is -1, it means that the egg has no tests.
The output generated by the commands executed to perform <action>. A string.
The time (in seconds) that was taken to execute <action>.
For the start and end actions, the value is the seconds since epoch, so the total salmonella execution time can be determined by subtracting the start time from the end time.
Salmonella provides two modules:
- salmonella
- the core salmonella functionality and basic data strucuture for logs (report records)
- salmonella-log-parser
- provides procedures to access log files and compute simple statistics regarding log file data.

The pen name of Bill Simmons, a regular columnist in the Page 2 section of ESPN: the Magazine and also the network's website. Simmons is a die-hard Boston fan of every sport and now feels his life is complete since the Red Sox won a World Series in his lifetime.
You can find the Sports Guy on Page 2., which is probably more like Page 8, but that's how they named the section of the magazine.

"Sports Guy" thinks that he is a great athlete in his chosen sport. For example, he plays every pick-up basketball game as if it was the NBA playoffs. The reality is that he got no game!
Listen, loser, this is a company softball game, not the World Series. Of course we want to win, but in the grand scheme of things THIS GAME DOES NOT MATTER! Don't give yourself a heart attack worrying about it. And anyway, my 82-year-old grandmother got a better batting average than you, loser!

A man who believes that he would be playing in Major League Baseball, the NFL, the NBA or the NHL if his high school's varsity coach didn't bench him. There are two errors with sports guy's thinking. First, a coach at any level (include the high school varsity team) won't jeopardize his team's chances of winning by NOT playing his best players. Second, sports guy was always a mediocre athlete and his skills diminished as he got older. Sports guy's chances of playing professional sports is less than my chances of dating Heidi Klum!
Sports guy is a fucking loser!

A further factual error: "Mr Zeman was prime minster in a grand coalition comprised of the two from 1998-2002". There was no Grand Coalition - it was a single party minority Social Democrat government which had a kind of 'confidence and supply' agreement with the Civic Democrats (the so-called Opposition Agreement). While there was co-operation this was in no sense a Grand Coalition.
The writer of this article seems to have poor background knowledge of Czech politics and the result is very sloppy reporting of a kind you would not expect in The Economist.

The skin was very beautiful and I am very satisfied with my purchase. While I paid over 50 dollars for the skin, it was a quality product. However, the skin does not cover the edges of the MacBook and hence it is more for aesthetic purposes than protection.

Husked corn in colorful hues is ready for grinding.
SECOND MESA, Ariz. � Micah Loma�omvaya is expertly dodging ruts on a narrow footpath-turned-wagon-trail-turned-barely-passable-road when he spots a rogue compact car with California plates parked off to the side. Soon its day-pack-wearing occupants stroll into view. �They shouldn�t be here without a guide,� says Loma�omvaya, a Hopi anthropologist who also happens to be a guide. �This is a federal Indian reservation. We fought for it, and we have a right to control tours in it.� Point taken. But as the wind-sculpted otherworldly beauty of Blue Canyon comes into view, it�s understandable what tempted the trespassers � and what compelled Sunset magazine to declare that if this spot weren�t in what it dubbed the �The Last Secret Land,� it�d be worthy of a starring role in a Ken Burns documentary. The Hopi Reservation, 1.6 million acres of mostly raw wilderness, is home to 12 small, autonomous villages that pepper three high-desert mesas in northeastern Arizona. As a tribe, the Hopi have been protective of their traditions and ways of life � and their privacy. But the opening of a native-owned hotel in 2010, and the creation this summer of an arts trail that leads to galleries and crafters� workshops, signals a new openness among many of the villages. The driving motivation: economic development that, in turn, will keep tribal members here and, ultimately, help keep the culture alive. Unemployment among the 9,500 reservation residents is at least 50 percent. There are few commercial enterprises save for small family-owned shops in which artisans sell their pottery, silver jewelry, baskets or carvings. There are no fast-food joints, no convenience stores, and the nearest Walmart is 130 miles away. Mixed views of tourism Tourism isn�t exactly new to Hopi. More than 50 years ago, the tribe opened the Hopi Cultural Center on Second Mesa, with a motel, restaurant and small museum. Still, as Loma�omvaya puts it, �The villages have a love-hate relationship with tourism. We�ve engaged visitors since the railroad came in. Hopis try to be the best hosts we can be. But we also expect (visitors) to respect our traditions and ways.� At the far western edge of the reservation, the Moenkopi Legacy Inn & Suites near Tuba City incorporates Hopi designs and hues. Ponderosa pine beams span its soaring lobby. Hopi pottery symbols are woven into its carpets. Historic Hopi photographs adorn the walls. With a prime location on U.S. Highway 160 midway between the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley, the 100-room lodging has seen robust occupancy since its opening in September 2010. �It�s exceeded our expectations,� says hotel manager Alan Numkena. Still, the recession has been hard on core villages scattered along Arizona Highway 264, which cuts through the heart of Hopi. On a recent weekday, the village of Walpi, which for decades has admitted paying visitors accompanied by a local guide, is empty. The 900-year-old settlement is dramatically perched atop the narrow end of a 300-foot-high mesa. Though the last full-time residents moved out last year (there�s no electricity or water), families maintain ancestral homes to use during Hopi dances and ceremonies that occur almost monthly. Dirt streets � really more like pathways � lead to a ceremonial plaza and traverse early 20th-century homes of sandstone and mud that appear as if they sprung organically from the mesa top. In time, they, too, will literally be blown away by the elements. Newer construction here, as well as in other Hopi villages, typically consists of unadorned cinder block, unpainted wood and manufactured siding, creating a rough aesthetic against a raw landscape. A hand-hewn ladder poking through a hatchway in the earth signals the presence of a kiva, an underground room in which ceremonies related to Hopi spiritual figures, called kachinas (or katsinas), take place. There are five such subterranean rooms in tiny Walpi, though all villages have at least one. Spirits are in the air Some ceremonies, which feature masked dancers representing kachinas, are open to the public here as in other villages. But photography, taping and sketching are prohibited. Visitors checking in for Walpi tours see a posted 1992 declaration noting that outsiders are banned from most dances because of a Marvel Comics depiction of ceremonial kachinas. �The kachina spirits really mean something to us,� says Walpi tour guide Kendra Huma. �They have their own personalities. We use them in our prayers, for healing, for rain.� More recently, the Second Mesa village of Sipaulovi has created guided tours. And on Third Mesa, Oraibi (a village continuously occupied since 1100) allows visitors to wander around after checking in at the Hamana So�ohs gallery. The new arts trail also puts visitors on track for studio visits with such artists as silver overlay jeweler Weaver Selina and his wife, Alberta, who weaves traditional baskets. At their Rising Sun Gallery on Second Mesa, Alberta is working on a coiled basket made from yucca she gathered, dried and dyed with colors derived from plants she collected. It�s a true from-scratch endeavor. �Once they see all the work it takes, they appreciate the price,� she says. The baskets cost $385 to $2,500. At her home in the village of Polacca, Rachel Sahmie sits before a wood-burning stove polishing her latest creation. She is descended from Nampeyo, the legendary Hopi potter who revived ancient designs in the late 1800s. �The ancestors created these designs, and we give them our own interpretation,� she says. Perhaps, but Sahmie abides by the old ways, digging her own clay, hand-coiling the pots and firing them on the ground with hot coals and sheep manure � which she also gathers herself. Her pieces fetch up to $6,000. �I was born into this,� Sahmie says. �But it has to be something that�s in your heart. You have to have passion. That�s why Grandma and Mom said you can�t be lazy and be a potter.� A private-guide program enables custom tours from arts-centric to nature-based, including hiking among the wind- and water-carved expanse of Blue Canyon. Loma�omvaya leads the way to the ruins of an 1800s trading post and an early Indian boarding school. Little remains other than crumbling sandstone walls. Eventually, they�ll erode into nothingness. But the Hopi will remain, he says: �Our culture is ancient. We were here before America and we�ll be here after America ... hopefully.� � 2013 USA TODAY. All rights reserved.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION With the first batch of his namesake Amber, Karl shared a beer and a passion that changed brewing in San Diego. Imported Munich malts give our original flagship the deep bronze color and crisp toasted malt flavors of a Vienna-style lager, while Cascade hops and our proprietary yeast strain lend a smooth body and clean finish. Brewed in small batches since 1989, Karl Strauss Amber remains San Diegos original session beer. Karl spent his life making beer. He believed that behind every beer recipe was an inspiration, and behind every pint was a story waiting to be told. Karl Strauss Amber was his story, a story that challenged and inspired a new generation of brewers. Today we brew our own stories, while raising a pint to the man and the beer that started it all. Specs: Alcohol by Volume: 4.5% Color: 15 SRM Bitterness: 18 IBU Availability: 24/7/365, Kegs, six-packs and twelve-packs. Note:Formerly Karl Strauss Amber Lager, 4.2% and 16 IBU.
