Negative Ads Chip Away At Gingrich's Standing
By Greg Allen
Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich continues his bus tour of Iowa. After leading in the polls, he's had setbacks in recent days. Negative campaign ads by his opponents have hurt him with some voters. And on Tuesday, the former House speaker found his message side tracked by new disclosures involving the divorce from his first wife.

Good fights. The game is amazing compared to others which do not know how to create interactive, excitings, and fluids combats like this. The only bad thing that i think the game has is the LAG and that is very important to me in all games.

super sticky notes

Comments about 3M Super Sticky Tropical Note:
I work with engineers in an automotive plant and it seems they always loose notes but not with the super sticky notes and the colors really stick out so they don't miss them. They work great.

The notes are always reliable. The colors are calming and relaxing. Never dissappointed with "post it" brand.

Soothing colors with a vibrant glow. Keeps me from losing any note on my desk or otherwise. Also from recycled products so I don't feel like I'm cutting a tree with each reminder.

The colors are great. The sticky part is perfect for putting notes on things. It only sticks when you want it to. They are easty to remove and don't leave a residue.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE POST-IT NOTES! I have a whole draw at work labeled post-its because i use so many of them! I honestly think as a Kindergarten Teacher, Post-it notes help me stay sane! I write down so many reminders for myself. During an average day you NEVER know what to expect, with the exception of so much will be going on you will NOT remember everything you need to do! Post-it notes definitely save my sanity! I write notes and leave them everywhere (on my keyboard, computer monitor, door, etc.) I use them in the classroom to pass out to students when they need to know how to spell a certain word - that way they can just take it to their seat and use it as needed. I also use them to make countdowns in the classroom (ex. days until Christmas). The possibilities are ENDLESS! Oh how I love post-it notes! Thanks so much for all the fun products you continue to make! I greatly appreciate it and so does my sanity! :)

Using a magnetic metal designed for teenagers school lockers, I keep a pen, 3x3 post its & the 4x6 lined canary yellow post its located on the side of my refrigerator. post its keep me clear on what to cook first & how I will use items in my frig. For example: cabbage = Post it(cabbage coup) already cooked chicken = Post it(curry in crock pot) rest of chicken = Post it (mexican fajita casserole with mixed bean premixed and put in frig to cook next day) I move just one post it with the meal idea off the side of the frig & stick it to the range over my stove. I am able to take an extra one off the side of the fridge by preparing the recipe in a casserole dish for the next day. the other lined post it is used as a shopping list as I run out. then I use the adhesive to attach inside my check book.

Milwaukee Irish Arts shines light on shameful past with 'Eclipsed'
In February, Ireland finally came clean regarding some very dirty laundry, admitting its long-standing role in aiding and abetting the existence of the notorious Magdalene laundries.
Ostensibly asylums for the reform of "fallen" women, these facilities enabled the Catholic Church to turn a tidy profit by using women - petty criminals, unwed mothers or simply young women deemed overly flirtatious or beautiful, in a country that has long associated women with sex and sex with sin - as a slave labor pool. The last one wasn't closed until 1996. »Read Full Article(4)

After two days of handwringing over President Obama's disappointing debate performance earlier this week, Democrats received good news this morning in the form of the September jobs report.
While GOP conspiracy theorists (like former General Electric CEO Jack Welch) made baseless allegations that the White House somehow manipulated the numbers, President Obama spent the day touting the indisputably positive facts included in the Bureau of Labor Statistics report.
- September saw 114,000 new jobs added, making it the 31st consecutive month of private sector job growth.
- The unemployment rate dropped dramatically from 8.1% to 7.8%, the lowest point in four years. (Notably, this month's decline was NOT due to workers who "gave up" and dropped out of the workforce.)
- The economy has added 5.2 million jobs since March 2010.
A few months of consecutive private sector job growth might be luck, but thirty-one consecutive months of increases is an undeniable positive trend that is evidence of a steadily improving economy and the directional correctness of our nation's economic policy.
Romney and his GOP supporters can (and probably should) continue to key on the unacceptable pace of the economic recovery, but results like these take much of the sting out of any election season barbs they throw at the President.
In a November 2011 post, I declared that continued consistent forward motion in U.S. labor results would be enough for President Obama to secure his place in the White House for four more years. With this year's employment trends, which have been capped off nicely by September's significant reduction in the nation's unemployment rate, I stand by that prediction.
Mitt may have won the Wednesday night debate battle, but it is likely all for naught - President Obama has already won the war.

Is Scott Disick the New Spencer Pratt?
Bringing the reality TV drama to Twitter, an outburst erupted between Kim Kardashian and Disick, who revealed he planned to pen an explosive tell-all book about the Kardashian family.
"I'm so sick of keeping my mouth shut. Enough is enough. People need to know who you people really are!" Disick wrote on Friday afternoon.
Kardashian shot down Disick's claims that she once had sexual relations with the
family's pool boy and was at one time homeless.
"If that never happened, then are you making this stuff up @ScottDisick or were you homeless, adopted & slept with your pool boy and you are mixing it up?" wrote Kardashian.
Kardashian initially posted an InTouch Weekly cover, sparking rumors that the Twitter feud could be for publicity. "Seriously how dare u @ScottDisick!!! They are family secrets for a reason!!!!" she wrote in response to the magazine cover.
Disick is the father of Kourtney Kardashian's son, Mason. The couple have had a tumultuous relationship -- to say the least -- from the start, and have been plagued with rumors of infidelity, alcoholism and behind-the-scenes breakups.

Scott Disick is such a douche bag! He acts like he is so cool and popular and everyone likes him. NOT! You're an idiot Scott. Why don't you go back to the pile of sh*t you crawled out from under. Eat a bag of d*cks, Scott. You suck. I would have given Kourtney a LOT more credit than to sleep with trash like Scott much less have a kid with him. It's a cute baby but both of them together couldn't raise a Chihuahua. He needs to get a vasectomy and Kourtney needs her tubes tied. Materialistic morons like them should not breed.

I don't believe Scott is Mason's father. Kourtney was screwing and partying all over Miami when she got pregnant. Scott wasn't even in the picture that season as they had broken up for 6 months according to Kourtney. She confessed up later that she had been seeing him behind Khloe's back, that he flew to see her on occasion. I don't believe it!

Alex…. I'm extremely educated and enjoy a great life.. You obviously have problems beyond making instant judgments about people and their backgrounds if they attempt to give you advice.. For starters, you won't listen to the wise.. Good luck.Posted January 6, 2013 7:47 pm
Get a life and get an education.Posted January 6, 2013 1:34 pm
Tark, you need to read my comments over again because obviously what you lack in reading comprehension you attempt to balance through your imagined brain washed moral compass. The fact of the matter is I forgot to mention that what I say are facts but my conclusions such as that Pacquiao should not have tampered with his religion by converting to "born again creep" is what ruined him. Furthermore, his own mother made the same accertions and she certainly knows Pacquiao better than you know Pacquiao. The few people that I countered you with (you only mentioned a couple to prove your point) were among thousands of leaders that had adulterous affairs unfortunately holy rollers such as you ruined them and persecuted them and made them change their character (their inner drive of invincibility) so the consequence was and is every time that they become mediocre instead of great. Lastly, you are boring me with your inane reply s… you do not know the meaning of the word celibate versus the word adultery, please look up their meaning, get an education, and then try and make half way intelligent comments. I also believe God forgives specially when one confesses to Him through a Catholic Priest. Jesus gave that power to Peter the Apostle when He declared Simon your name is now Peter which means Rock and upon this Rock I will build my church (the Catholic Church). Peter was the first Bishop of the Catholic Church and became the first Pope of the Catholic Church. Matthew 16:17 reads,
16:17Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 16:18I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 16:19I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will be released in heaven."
So if a great man sins or commits adultery he is not necessarily condemn like you think as long as he repents and confesses his adultery. Of course he may repeat his sin its only human nature. So you people that think you are superhuman and you think you are saved because you do not sin you are the ones that are going to hell. Pacquiao most likely will go to heaven. Am judging you? Not really. Marquez will surely go to hell.Posted January 5, 2013 1:57 pm

Alex… The world isn't like that.. You can't make up motivations and excuses for everyone in the world and just have these great insights as to how everything works out and why, and who's responsible. Forget it. A ballplayer might hit a homerun every 32 swings at a pitch. He is going to hit one of 528 homeruns higher and farther than any other he hit. He got a better cut, he got more wood on the ball, and it left the ballpark like a rocket. You might buy a lottery ticket tomorrow and win 300 million dollars. Or you might not. God does interfere in human events on very rare occasions—but not often and not with a bias towards saints or sinners. That's his job. He's God. He has to be impartial. Marquez and Pacquiao are masters of their own fate to a large extent. They have done very well, but there's always the element of chance. Things happen … and you have to deal with it.Posted January 4, 2013 1:39 am
Jebuz, you must be the devil.Posted January 4, 2013 1:34 am
Alex, you're an idiot.Posted January 3, 2013 5:14 pm
Alex…. If God asked you to stop doing something that was profiting you 25 or 30 million dollars an event — would you stop doing it??? God gave us a free will and there's no sin in boxing for a living… So with a free will, don't you make up your own mind?
Now, I can see where God might not be a big fan of Boxing, but He's probably not a big fan of checkers and other activities he considers not sinful, but a waste of time… I wonder if Pacquao felt free to say, "I understand your request God, but just the same I want to have 3 to 5 more fights … and if you don't think that's a good idea maybe you can give me some kind of sign." … Now, that might not have been a sign from God when MP got iced — it could be Marquez knocking Pac dead with his own God given talents.. JMM IS a great fighter after all, and Pacquiao said he got careless and made a horrendous mistake.Posted January 2, 2013 10:40 pm
At this point all I can say is I am glad you had nothing to do or say in the decision to award the honors to Donaire. Donaire deserved it more for all the obvious reasons not just one dirty fight by another south of the border dirty fighter. Hey, by your standards it should have went to Antonia Margarita?Posted January 2, 2013 9:45 pm
Kevin, I am going to guess you are not a follower of any religion. Ever since God created Adam and Eve he has been punishing people for the slightest offense to his authority. Kevin maybe you are not dead yet because God wants you to do some good before he calls your name for the last time. As for God not having the patience and interest to punish anyone in boxing…then I do not think you are a boxer. I've seen many boxers and the great ones pray to God before the match. Why is that? Do you think its because God has no interest in boxers? Whether you like it or not boxers are human, they cry, the get angry, they bleed, they have all the emotions you and I have and best of all God listens to all of us including you.Posted January 2, 2013 9:02 pm
Here we go again with one of those bloggers that love to call people names. Why is that? I guess one way they think they can win the argument is by attacking the messenger. Frankly I am not impressed and I do not think anyone here is impressed with attacking other bloggers instead of attacking the message itself. Please stick to the facts. I was answering Tark's references to God and maybe you do not know much about God and certainly I do not know enough about God but whether you like it or not God knocked out Pacquiao for changing religion and he used dirty fighter Marquez to do it. God works in mysterious ways. As for God punishing people that is his forte so read the Bible and see how many people God has knocked out cold some never to wake up again and if they did they would wake up in hell. Not my problem you do not like parodies and if you do not like my posts best is not to read them then you can keep your sanity. God bless you.Posted January 2, 2013 8:53 pm

Alex, Arce was so committed that he retired postfight and basically said he was comfortable because he was defeated by a GREAT fighter… NOT exactly the statements of a HUNGRY combatant…. He was DONE, I am not mad at Donaire for taking the 1 million dollar payday but there is NO comparison between Marquez starching the Fighter of the Decade and Donaire starching a HAS BEEN like Arce….Posted January 2, 2013 5:16 pm
Alex, your sanctimonious tirade does not impress me and saying "God knocked out Pacquiao" makes me wonder if you are some sort of nutcase… Unless God is names Juan Manuel Marquez, is Mexican, 39 and about 5″6 then it was not Jesus or whomever you worship turning out Pac Mans lights…. ON to Arce who is a COMPLETE has been in the ring with an elite fighter like Donaire the results were predictable..Saying "anything can happen" pretty much justifies ANY matchup being made…. We work on probabilities and the odds favored Arce going out just the way he did…Posted January 2, 2013 5:14 pm

A wise man once told me to be on the look out for people that call themselves intelligent, usually they are not! To say that a boxer has a zero shot of winning any fight show quite a lack of intelligence or knowledge of boxing history… do you think Arce went into the ring to lose?

Tark, the problem is that Pacquiao did abandon his Catholic faith (its a fact) and from what you just said and I believe you God warned him for his mistake and God knocked him out. Why do you think God did that?Posted January 2, 2013 2:37 pm
@stinkboxerPosted January 2, 2013 2:25 pm
@ Alex…. Pacquiao is a devout Christian last time I heard… Dumping his Catholic Faith is probably the last thing he would do.. Before the Bradley fight Pac said, "God talked to me and told me to stop boxing." Pac also said, "When God talks to you, you're on FIRE like you're MELTING."
I guess God wants to make sure you know it's Him talking to you—and not some wayward apparition. Pac hasn't been awarded any wins since then. First God tells you to quit boxing… Then he gives you a nudge… Then he gives you a mighty shove… After getting nailed to the canvas for 10 minutes what's next on God's agenda? Being that He's the Creator of the universe, I would think He'd like to be taken seriously when He tells you something … Especially when you tell everyone else about the conversation.Posted January 2, 2013 2:25 pm

Jorge Arce was BEYOND washed up that win was lucrative for Donaire but its not going to be part of his legacy building endeavors… Marquez passed the SAME tests that Pacquiao did and the ONLY reason that BUTT HURT fans are trying to sully his reputation is bitterness for his brutal disposal of Pacquiao… Marquez knocked out his #1 rival meanwhile Donaire stopped a hasbeen in Arce who has 0 shot of prevailing in that bout…. There is NO intelligent comparison between the quality of those wins…Posted January 2, 2013 1:39 pm
Sorry, meant Pacquiao lost his Catholic faith and got punished for it.Posted January 2, 2013 1:37 pm
I like the way Nonito knocked out big mouth Arce. That alone is worth fighter of the year and I missed the lolly pop thing in Arce's mouth, so maybe he knew he would get knocked out that night…now that is putting fear of the Lord in an opponent and that is what Donaire does to his challengers. Did puffed up Marques do that? No, not until he puffed up and personally regardless of the denials he seemed like he was on drugs… and how about that dirty blow to the back of Pacquiao that is the real illegal blow that put out Pacquiao not the shot to the face. Watch the knockout in slow motion and instead of focusing on the blow to the face look at Marquez deliver the foul with all the force of his knew alleged found strength. Nonito lost because he dumped his Catholic faith and got punished by God for doing it.Posted January 2, 2013 1:35 pm
I like Donaire and he worked his butt off or an elite fighter but Marquez deserved the nod I think its VERY political that a guy who stopped one of the GREAT runs in boxing history (Pacquioa's) via highlight reel KO is being ignored… Donaire was not in the ring with anyone of an elite level and certainly was not 39 years old trying to book that win… 2012 was JMM's year the culmination of 8 years and 4 fights worth of effort, training, pain and pursuit….Posted January 2, 2013 11:06 am

A system and method are disclosed to trace memory in a hardware emulator. In one aspect, a first Random Access Memory is used to store data associated with a user design during emulation. At any desired point in time, the contents of the first Random Access Memory are captured in a second Random Access Memory. After the capturing, the contents of the second Random Access Memory are copied to a visibility system. During the copying, the user design may modify the data in the first Random Access Memory while the captured contents within the second Random Access Memory remain unmodifiable so that the captured contents are not compromised. In another aspect, different size memories are in the emulator to emulate the user model. Larger memories have their ports monitored to reconstruct the contents of the memories, while smaller memories are captured in a snapshot RAM.

This is a 35 U.S.C. �371 U.S. National Stage of International Application No. PCT/EP2007/051644, filed Feb. 21, 2007, which was published in English under PCT Article 21(2), which in turn claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/775,494, filed Feb. 21, 2006. Both applications are incorporated herein in their entirety.
This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application 60/775,494 dated Feb. 21, 2006, entitled "Memory Snapshot in an Emulation Environment", the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention generally relates to hardware emulators, and more particularly to tracing memories in a hardware emulator.
Today's sophisticated SoC (System on Chip) designs are rapidly evolving and nearly doubling in size with each generation. Indeed, complex designs have nearly exceeded 50 million gates. This complexity, combined with the use of devices in industrial and mission-critical products, has made complete design verification an essential element in the semiconductor development cycle. Ultimately, this means that every chip designer, system integrator, and application software developer must focus on design verification.
Hardware emulation provides an effective way to increase verification productivity, speed up time-to-market, and deliver greater confidence in the final SoC product. Even though individual intellectual property blocks may be exhaustively verified, previously undetected problems appear when the blocks are integrated within the system. Comprehensive system-level verification, as provided by hardware emulation, tests overall system functionality, IP subsystem integrity, specification errors, block-to-block interfaces, boundary cases, and asynchronous clock domain crossings. Although design reuse, intellectual property, and high-performance tools all help by shortening SoC design time, they do not diminish the system verification bottleneck, which consumes 60-70% of the design cycle. As a result, designers can implement a number of system verification strategies in a complementary methodology including software simulation, simulation acceleration, hardware emulation, and rapid prototyping. But, for system-level verification, hardware emulation remains a favorable choice due to superior performance, visibility, flexibility, and accuracy.
A short history of hardware emulation is useful for understanding the emulation environment. Initially, software programs would read a circuit design file and simulate the electrical performance of the circuit very slowly. To speed up the process, special computers were designed to run simulators as fast as possible. IBM's Yorktown "simulator" was the earliest (1982) successful example of this—it used multiple processors running in parallel to run the simulation. Each processor was programmed to mimic a logical operation of the circuit for each cycle and may be reprogrammed in subsequent cycles to mimic a different logical operation. This hardware 'simulator' was faster than the current software simulators, but far slower than the end-product ICs. When Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) became available in the mid-80's, circuit designers conceived of networking hundreds of FPGAs together in order to map their circuit design onto the FPGAs and the entire FPGA network would mimic, or emulate, the entire circuit. In the early 90's the term "emulation" was used to distinguish reprogrammable hardware that took the form of the design under test (DUT) versus a general purpose computer (or work station) running a software simulation program.
Soon, variations appeared. Custom FPGAs were designed for hardware emulation that included on-chip memory (for DUT memory as well as for debugging), special routing for outputting internal signals, and for efficient networking between logic elements. Another variation used custom IC chips with networked single bit processors (so-called processor based emulation) that processed in parallel and usually assumed a different logic function every cycle.
Physically, a hardware emulator resembles a large server. Racks of large printed circuit boards are connected by backplanes in ways that most facilitate a particular network configuration. A workstation connects to the hardware emulator for control, input, and output.
Before the emulator can emulate a DUT, the DUT design must be compiled. That is, the DUT's logic must be converted (synthesized) into code that can program the hardware emulator's logic elements (whether they be processors or FPGAs). Also, the DUT's interconnections must be synthesized into a suitable network that can be programmed into the hardware emulator. The compilation is highly emulator specific and can be time consuming.
Once the design is loaded and running in the hardware emulator, it is desirable to obtain trace data of the states of the various design state elements and/or other design elements and/or design signals. Such trace data, also known as user visibility data, is made available to the user and is often used to debug a design. Unfortunately, as the number of state elements increases, so to does the amount of trace data. For example, an FPGA emulating one hundred thousand state elements could generate up to one hundred thousand bits, or 0.1 Mb, of trace data per clock cycle. The elements that are traced can be divided into three main categories: flip-flops, glue logic, and RAM. Each of these categories has its own unique tracing problems, but all are limited by the size of a trace buffer into which data is stored. Because of the large amount of data needed to be captured over a large number of clock cycles, some elements are captured only at pre-determined intervals (e.g., every 1000 clock cycles) and if a user requests to view a particular interval, any uncaptured cycles can be simulated and regenerated in order to complete the entire trace period. For example, flip-flops may be captured once every 1000 cycles and that captured data may be used to simulate the other flip-flop states as well as the glue logic.
While such simulation works well with flip-flops and glue logic, memory must be captured every clock cycle. For example, a user wanting to view the contents of memory at a particular trace cycle cannot rely on simulation generated using a memory captured only once every 1000 cycles. If the memory contents change every cycle, such changes will be lost and unrecoverable. Another difficult issue with memory is the manner of tracing used. During emulation, the memory is constantly accessed. In order to view the memory, it is not possible to switch off the memory or the emulator and download the memory contents. Thus, current systems monitor the memory ports in order to trace changes that occurred in the memory, similar to shadow memories known in the art. Knowledge of the original contents of memory and how it changed can be used to accurately recreate the memory contents.
A problem with tracing read ports is that every user cycle, memory data continuously accumulates until a cross-over point where the data captured to duplicate the memory exceeds the memory size itself. Continued tracing beyond the cross-over point means that it would have been more efficient to have a duplicate memory. Additionally, as user designs continue to become larger and more complex, the memory size is increasing, requiring the trace buffer to monitor more memory ports. With this trend continuing, it is desirable to re-think how memory can be more efficiently traced without over-burdening the trace system.
A system and method are disclosed to trace memory in a hardware emulator.
In one aspect, a first Random Access Memory is used to store data associated with a user design during emulation. At any desired point in time, the contents of the first Random Access Memory are captured in a second Random Access Memory. After the capturing, the contents of the second Random Access Memory are copied to another location. During the copying, the user design may modify the data in the first Random Access Memory while the captured contents within the second Random Access Memory remain unmodifiable so that the captured contents are not compromised.
In another aspect, different size memories within the emulator are used to emulate the user model. Larger memories have their ports monitored to reconstruct the contents of the memories, while smaller memories are captured in a snapshot RAM. Together the two different modes of tracing memory are used to provide visibility to the user of the entire user memory.
These features and others of the described embodiments will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The emulator 12 includes multiple printed circuit boards 16 coupled to a midplane 18. The midplane 18 allows physical connection of the printed circuit boards into the emulator 12 on both sides of the midplane. A backplane may also be used in place of the midplane, the backplane allowing connection of printed circuit boards on one side of the backplane. Any desired type of printed circuit boards may be used. For example, programmable boards 20 generally include an array of FPGAs, or other programmable circuitry, that may be programmed with the user's design downloaded from the emulator host 14. One or more I/O boards 22 allow communication between the emulator 12 and hardware external to the emulator. For example, the user may have a preexisting processor board that is used in conjunction with the emulator and such a processor board connects to the emulator through I/O board 22. Clock board 24 generates any number of desired clock signals. And interconnect boards 26 allow integrated circuits on the programmable boards 20 to communicate together and with integrated circuits on the I/O boards 22.
The RAM 66 in
Having illustrated and described the principles of the illustrated embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiments can be modified in arrangement and detail without departing from such principles.
Although two embodiments are shown to transfer data from the user model portion of RAM to the snapshot RAM, there are numerous techniques for making such a transfer as well understood in the art, and any other technique may easily be substituted to perform such a transfer.
In view of the many possible embodiments, it will be recognized that the illustrated embodiments include only examples of the invention and should not be taken as a limitation on the scope of the invention. Rather, the invention is defined by the following claims. We therefore claim as the invention all such embodiments that come within the scope of these claims.

we have been using hotels.com for most of the bookings. every 10 bookings you get a free stay for the average price of your rooms. so it is essentially 10% discount. not bad if the price is the same as other websites. we have used booking.com a couple times when hotels.com came up with zilch, but booking.com didn't take our money, and we still had to pay in cash at the door. no big deal. i now prefer hotels.com because i can use a credit card and not worry about the exchange rate, and avoid haggling over the price with the desk clerk. we have a credit card that doesn't charge for foreign transactions (any airline card from chase). i am sure there are even better values not on the web but i don't want to spend an hour riding from place to place finding the cheapest deal if i don't have to. it's easier on the internet.
happy new year!

Time to return home again. We walked around the hotel grounds and watched morning beachgoers find their chairs in the sun, wishing we could be doing the same.
We checked out and took a cab (80 pesos) to the airport. The wife had an Oxxo hotdog for breakfast. We bought some snacks at the Oxxo at the airport parking lot -- a nice convenient way to avoid high airport food prices.
It was a fast check in through security. What a contrast to transfers at Houston. But it was 3 days before Christmas, which I had only realized that day. How did that happen? Well, I dont buy gifts for Christmas so the holidays are less stressful. Flights were delayed but we made it back home in the rainy 50 F weather. What happened to my beach time? Where did Mexico go? Man, I wish there was an Oxxo in Mississippi.
We head back to the bike Jan 26th! My brother is coming to visit in a week and then the following week we go to Salt Lake City for some skiing.

Day 21 back to Puerto Vallarta 0 miles on bike
Tired of getting blasted by artic weather and below freezing temps on the gulf coast, we headed back to the bike we had left in the good hands of padalinskie, fellow ADVrider and former president of a Denver motorcycling club. We were greeted by warm weather in the 70's and took the local bus back to our hotel for 7.50 pesos each instead of the 300 peso taxi ride we had taken to the airport last month. Just exited the airport to the left of the arrivals terminal and the bus stop is right there, past all the salivating taxi drivers and touts.
This time we booked a place closer to centro, at the north end of the malecon -- Hotel Portonovo. We used the gps to find the hotel. It is a block from the beach and the malecon and has a rooftop heated pool, a/c, wifi for $50.
We had arrived at noon, but padalinskie was at the playa for the day, so we walked the malecon and picked up some food.
The wife had some ceviche on tostitos with a large jamaica for 50 pesos.
I spied some massive pismo clams 3 for 100 pesos. In Baja we used to dig for pismo clams in the surf at San Quentin and they were just as big. The clams were great.
We headed back to the hotel and bought some El Jimador tequila and Fresca for poolside drinks.
Padalinskie texted that he would be home soon, and his condo was about 1.25 miles away, so we started hoofing it there. Padalinskie was busy so he wouldn't be able to ride with us tomorrow. We thanked him for watching over our bike and hoped to meet up later on down the road. He even bungeed our ghetto bedsheet bike cover so that it would not blow away. Thanks, Ed!
We went back to the hotel and I had to lube the chain and re-stick the laminar lip. When I had applied the adhesive, it was 45 F and it was supposed to cure in 70 F weather. Of course, when it warmed up, the adhesive started coming undone.
We went up to the poolside for sunset drinks.
Later we walked the malecon, and it was busy.
We walked to the end and back and ended up at Sea Monkeys but their kitchen was closed. Margaritas are only $1.
We ended up having tacos which were okay just a couple doors from our hotel.

Day 22 to La Manzanilla 138 miles
It would be a short day, 3 hours riding to get to La Manzanilla, the bay just north of Barra de Navidad. It had been recommended by Canadians we spoke to in Barra last month. The road out of Puerto Vallarta along the bay was beautiful but after that, the road stays inland, away from the water.
There was some road construction and sand and dirt had blown across it in short stretches. The road is mostly in good condition.
We pulled off to check out La Tenacatita, just north of La Manzanilla, but the security guards on the beautiful beach told us there were no facilities there. It would have been great to camp at, but we did not have any gear with us.
La Manzanilla has a nice beach and many beachside restaurants. There are only a few small hotels but none online. We stopped at the beach and had a beer and spicy aguachile. Everyone else was dining next door but we wanted to stay in sight of the bike.
We cruised the strip to find a place to stay. One place (the better of the two) was full, and the other place was available for 400 pesos/night. It was clean and basic and had secure parking in its courtyard. You would think a bike in a small beach town like this would be safe but a tourist told us that last week a BMW bike was stolen overnight parked in the street.
The room had a/c and hot water. I think there is wifi there but we didn't know and didn't ask for the password. When we checked out the next day one of the guests said he had the password.
We bought some totopos (corn chips) and ice and went back to the beach. We used the bedsheet/bike cover as a beach towel.
The beach was great. Got drunk on tequila and fresca. Had some food at the restaurant next to the place we ate at for lunch. Prices were much much better. Fish tacos were huge. Pedro's is the name. Sunset was great.
The largest fish piece in a taco I have ever had and only 15 pesos!

Day 23 to Guanajuato 418 miles on bike
We had a long day ahead of us and hoped to get out by 8am but we had gone to bed around 9pm last night and as expected, I woke up at 1:30am and had been up until 6:30am. We were lucky to hit the road by 9:15am.
Guard dog
Last month we had taken the bus from Guadalajara to Barra de Navidad and gotten nauseated both ways. The GPS wanted to take us on that road, but I wanted to slab it on the cuota, so we headed south to La Manzanillo and head up towards Colima on the cuota. It was worth it and just as fast and no butt-clenching from trying to pass trucks and buses.
As passed the volcano over Colima, the wife wondered if it was still active. Moments later, there was a burp of ash out of its caldera. What appeared to be a snowcapped peak was actually all ash.
The wife needs to eat either breakfast or lunch so we stopped around 12:30 at Atoyac and circled around looking for a restaurant.
We didnt find any so stopped at the town square/Mercado and had some comida.
The wife had a torta de Puerco (pork) and I had caldo de pollo (chicken soup).
The chicken soup was awesome. I was having a bit of a stomach problem from the day before so it did me good.
We ended up getting routed away from the ring road around Guadalajara and into the city proper during traffic time. That was about 40 minutes wasted and finally made it on our way out of town. We made the same mistake at Irapuato and went through the downtown instead of the highway to get to the otherside. No matter, the sun was setting, and although we said we wouldnt ride at night, it was dusk when we arrived in Guanajuato.
Guanajuato was a silver mining town nestled between hills with much of its traffic routed through tunnels underneath.
The pink lines are of the underground tunnels
We spent another hour trying to find a hotel with secure parking and getting rerouted through the tunnels before finding Hacienda de Cobos near the entrance of the tunnels. It was 674 pesos but no heating a/c and wifi was only in the lobby. No matter, I was knackered and so was the wife.
Guanajuato exceeded our expectations. There were beautifully-lit churches and buildings and quaint squares. It is a university town so there are loads of young people walking around. They have roving groups of musicians in the jardin square. We got married on a motorcycle trip from San Diego to Cabo three years ago, and since it was the day before our anniversary, we decided to splurge on dinner in the square listening to music.
We had one of those tasting menus with wine pairings. I wasnt feeling great from stomach troubles and the food was a little too fancy to my liking, so I cant say it was better than street tacos, but it was fun and the wife was happy too. Six wine pairings seems like a lot compared to drinking El Jimador and Fresca. Not sure why.

Day 24 to San Miguel de Allende 52 miles on bike
The next morning we spent exploring the narrow alleys in Guanajuato and the mercado.
We had a great smoothie in the market for 20 pesos.
We met some guys at our hotel who were headed back across the northern border after having spent a few months in Central America surfing. They gave us some tips on other beaches to visit and tips on the border crossings and dealing with corrupt police. In the afternoon we headed off toward San Miguel de Allende, only 90 minutes away. We first stopped to take photos at the panoramic road above Guanajuato.

Day 25 to Queretaro 80 miles on bike
It was chilly in the morning, 37 F according to the internets. We had a nice free breakfast at La Cocina courtesy of our B&B and headed out of town towards Queretaro.
Scrambled eggs and chorizo
It would be another short riding day, but since it was so cold, we bundled up for the 1 hour ride.
Riding a bit close to the wall. The gps took us on a short cut to the highway out of town.
Pretty aqueduct in Queretaro
We didn't have a place booked in Queretaro (in fact except for the first night in Puerto Vallarta, we didnt book any hotels this time and just showed up after finding some places on the internet), and had just bought a round trip flight that morning for the following day out of Queretaro back home. We needed a place with secure parking that would allow us to store the bike for a week. Plan B was to leave the bike at the airport. We started off the day heading towards the airport, but I missed a turn and ended up going in the wrong direction past the town, so we ended up going to centro instead. After asking around at a hotel, we realized all the hotels in the centro area use public parking lots and wouldn't allow us to store our bike without a fee. We could just pay to keep our bikes there but then we would have to take a taxi to and from the airport and centro. We decided to go to the airport to check out how secure the parking was.
The airport is 30 minutes away from centro out in the middle of nowhere. It is quite new but small. I spoke with the parking attendant and he confirmed that there was someone there 24hours and the bike would be safe. It was 139pesos/day.
That settled, we headed back to town and looked at a couple more places and finally settled on Hostal Galerie for 490 pesos with wifi. We had secure parking inside the gates. It was nice and the place was funky but we didn't meet any travelers and they had no hot water, despite our complaining. They said you had to turn the hot water faucet on for 3 minutes then wait 3 minutes then turn it on again. None of this worked and we just gave up. I ended up taking a cold shower. I would give this place a thumbs down for the lack of hot water. Boo! Fortunately we had showered in the afternoon when we were hot from the riding around in traffic.
Queretaro was much more interesting than San Miguel. It actually has locals living there. There were free musical performances being held in 3 of the squares we went to from early evening until 9 pm. It was great. It is much more interesting to see locals milling about enjoying the evening paseo.
Checking out the free wifi in Mexico squares and parks
Manually ringing the bells. Hows your hearing after that?
We had some tacos and bistek on our anniversary. It cost 53 pesos. It was great.
Torta al pastor 18 pesos
Bistek 35 pesos
We went to a convenience store and bought some cheap tequila (Brendain) and mixed it with grapefruit soda. It was a poorer man's El Jimador and Fresca yet cost only a dollar less.
Happy anniversary!
We sat in an alley listening to music from a bar drinking our tequila grapefruit drink. Fun!

From Melaque/Barra de Navidad is better to take the road to La Huerta - Autlan - Cocula - Guadalajara. Quite more interesting than Cuota highway. There are a lot of beautiful places in the middle like Villa Purificacion, Casimiro Castillo, Union de Tula, etc.. and the food you can find and enjoy in those small spots.
That road is twistie starting in Melaque until almost Autlan.
Autlan is actually the small town were Carlos Santana was born.

August Hedge Funds: Best, Worst, Biggest
Just a few blocks from Boston's historic money-management names like Fidelity, Putnam Investments, and Wellington Management sits a small asset manager that took its moniker from a comic-book hero.
The firm's founder, Joseph F. Patton Jr., was a U.S. Navy lieutenant who served a dangerous tour in Vietnam as a swift-boat captain in the late 1960s. His radio call sign on these high-powered, heavily-armed riverboats was Captain Marvel, after the 1940s Fawcett Comics superhero. The name "brought me a lot of luck," says Patton, so he put it on his firm, J.P. Marvel Investment Advisors, when he went out on his own in 2007.
That was a perilous time to begin a fund firm and full-year 2008 losses, while easily beating the market's 38% decline, still amounted to about 28%. Patton, who spent the bulk of his work life in Boston as a senior institutional salesman at the former PaineWebber, persevered. Over five years the Marvel portfolio has gained an average of 2.7% a year, beating the S&P's anemic 0.2% annual return through June of this year, as well as its U.S. equity peer group. Marvel runs mostly separately managed accounts for a management fee of 1%, using hedge-fund techniques to limit risk. A hedge-fund version, the Captain's Fund, will launch in January.
Two themes for Patton: The "energy story is being rewritten" in the U.S. and the Fed has given banks "a gift." Jason Grow for Barron's
Now overseeing $350 million, the opportunistic firm invests in 40 or so core equity positions, holds some bonds and uses both cash and options on its equity positions to offset its bets. Patton explains that the "10 top positions do the majority of the work" for Marvel, which conducts bottom-up, fundamental analysis on roughly 100 companies, visiting "tons" of them each year. Annual turnover is a very low 20%. Monsanto mon 0.6409065576815902% Monsanto Co.

He first got to know Monsanto in the past 10 years when he bought the little-followed stock for some accounts at just $6 a share. Today he thinks its seed and fertilizers can be a valuable aid to farmers who are contending with a fierce drought. Marvel purchased the stock in January, at $72; it was trading last week at $91.16 and he thinks it could top $100.
At present, Patton, who gained hedge-fund experience running the high-net-worth group for Longwood Investment Advisors, is focused on an eclectic group of energy stocks, big drug companies paying fat dividends, banks, and municipal bonds.
The energy story, says Patton, "is being rewritten in this country" because U.S. imports, as a share of global consumption, have fallen to 42% from 60% in 1995. At the same time U.S. oil production is rising faster than in any non-OPEC nation, he notes. Marvel has been buying QEP Resources qep 1.2777777777777777% QEP Resources Inc.

"A dozen years ago, shale gas represented only 2% of total U.S. dry production. It is now 37%," Patton says.

The shares trade at $32.04 and Marvel has a target of $35. It projects earnings of $1.45 a share in 2012, $2.10 in 2013 and $2.40 in 2014.

Marvel projects the industrial conglomerate will earn $1.55 in 2012, $1.74 in 2013 and then somewhere north of $1.90 in 2014. That should allow the stock to hit the mid-20s over the next year, he estimates. Its once embattled finance unit, GE Capital, he notes, has resumed paying a dividend to its parent, and should benefit as U.S. housing regains strength. Pricing is improving in many of GE's main markets like aviation, turbines, and oil and gas servicing, and the company seems to be getting back on track in China. An added fillip: a dividend yield of 3%.
Although he's underweight the group, Patton does like a couple of banks in particular: JPMorgan Chase jpm -0.8079917731746731% JPMorgan Chase & Co. U.S.: NYSE USD67.52 -0.55 -0.8079917731746731% /Date(1435870820414-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 12343105 AFTER HOURS USD67.4 -0.12 -0.17772511848341233% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 479836 P/E Ratio 12.366300366300367 Market Cap 250572575979.628 Dividend Yield 2.6066350710900474% Rev. per Employee 403801 More quote details and news » (JPM) and SunTrust Banks STI -0.6162976489385985% SunTrust Banks Inc.

The rebound in housing should help all banks and the Federal Reserve's new program of buying mortgage-related securities will furnish even more support, he says. SunTrust rated highly on a Marvel technical screening of bank stock prices and posted a positive earnings surprise not long after the firm bought shares. "Management is accelerating the cleanup of nonperforming loans, plus they are based in high growth states" such as Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia and Washington, D.C. With the caveat that the turn in housing could take awhile, Patton forecasts SunTrust will earn $2.80 next year and $3.14 in 2014. His price target for SunTrust is $34-$35 a share, up from $29.03 recently.
Patton also bought JPMorgan in part because of the Fed's largesse: "They've been given a gift," as he puts it. He prefers JPMorgan to other big banks because of its dividend and high-quality service. Unfortunately, he snapped up the stock before CEO Jamie Dimon revealed its huge trading loss in London. Marvel started accumulating shares at $41, and bought more when they subsequently fell to $32. The firm believes they're worth $46 to $50 a share. It forecasts earnings of $5.20 to $5.30 a share in 2013, and $5.62 in 2014. At a forward price-earnings multiple of seven, the stock is cheap and its dividend yield is 2.9%.
Dividends are also a major attraction in the pharmaceutical sector, where Patton believes investors have to take a long-term perspective. There are near-term worries about the group, but "no matter what happens with health care, there will be people buying drugs and there are more people 80 years old and older than ever before."

Financier H. Wayne Huizenga was an early investor in the company. The Chicago-based outfit provides replacement parts to repair cars and trucks in North America, Mexico, Central America, and the U.K. "It's a commodities play as well as a play on the aging automobile replacement cycle in the U.S.," Patton says. The stock is up to $19 a share, from $12 a year ago.
As any of their equity positions approaches its target price, Patton and his seven-person crew must decide whether to sell or not. If they still like the company, they sometimes will sell call options on a portion of its holding, thereby continuing to collect income but allowing some of its shares to be called away. "Options help us minimize the risk in the portfolio," he says.
Patton has over the years owned municipal bonds for individual clients and right now he likes this sector of the fixed-income market. He sticks to general-obligation bonds rated above "A" from issuers with solid balance sheets like Virginia's housing authority as well as the states of Texas, Delaware, and Indiana. "The wild card is taxes" as the fiscal cliff nears, he notes. "If taxes on high earners go up dramatically, municipal bonds will mathematically become more attractive."
The former Navy skipper doesn't waste a lot time sweating about things he can't control, like the stock market's next move. Still, he thinks valuations are "reasonable but no longer dirt cheap." His expectation for 2012 earnings of the S&P 500 is between $100 and $102 a share, a little lower than Wall Street's consensus of $105-$108. Throwing out the tech bubble period, the average multiple of the S&P 500 since 1990 is 16.4 times trailing earnings, notes Patton. He forecasts 2013 S&P profits of $106-$108 with the S&P index hitting 1,525-1,550. "That's about 14 times earnings and that's not expensive," says Patton.

Following the Prevention Fund Cut Trail…
In follow-up to last week's approval of the Payroll Tax Bill by the House and Senate, at the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease (PFCD) we feel it's important to keep you updated of the ongoing dialogue around this latest development. As you may know, Congress' temporary SGR fix came with a hefty budget reduction of $5 billion for the Prevention and Public Health Fund, an extension of the Affordable Care Act that provides crucial financial support for the prevention programs our health care system so direly needs.
As such, PFCD always welcomes the opportunity to spotlight other organizations and colleagues who share our passion for improving the quality of our nation's health care in the most sustainable, effective ways possible. We've included a snapshot of this week's editorial highlights below.
- The Huffington Post featured a piece written by David Katz, M.D., director, Yale Prevention Research Center, entitled "Four Reasons Why Prevention Is Acutely, and Perennially, in Peril." In his op-ed, Dr. Katz reiterates his extreme disappointment over the recent Prevention Fund cut and explains the fund is a "key element in the Affordable Care Act that allocated funds to both clinical preventive services and community-based health promotion programming." More poignantly, however, Dr. Katz goes on to say that the Prevention Fund doesn't get the recognition or support it deserves because it's a "public with no face and no name."
- The Los Angeles Times included an opinion piece by columnist Doyle McManus, who provided an overview of how President Obama and the Republican presidential hopefuls are approaching the Medicare debate. Many members of the GOP, including Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), advocate for a mandate to transform Medicare from a government-run plan to one that provides government assistance to purchase private-sector plans. By offering a system that allows seniors more choices from private insurance, Ryan's supporters believe insurance companies will be able to more effectively keep costs down by integrating Medicare patients into their existing business model. Democrats, on the other hand, are against such system because it could shift the burden of rising healthcare costs onto the elderly. Nonetheless, McManus suggests that members on both sides need to forego their political agendas and recognize the severity of the issues at hand: "A heated, polarized election campaign isn't the best forum to debate complex, competing proposals for bringing down healthcare costs."
- Lastly, in a recent Fiscal Times write-up, contributor Merrill Goozner likened Congress' latest rounds of cuts to selling a home's storm doors to pay for the same home's winter heating bills. PFCD's very own Executive Director, Ken Thorpe, was also quoted in the article for his take on the Prevention Fund cuts: "We're robbing from the one place in the Affordable Care Act where we can really do something about prevention.... [And] the fact that it ends up propping up a collapsing fee-for-service system is the ultimate irony." Goozner went on to discuss a new study released by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) that suggests fee-for-service providers are not following recommendations for preventive services for people with Medicare. According to GAO's findings, only two-thirds of women over the age of 65 received recommended biannual mammograms, while 40 percent of men over 75 still receive prostate cancer screening tests, even though prostate screenings are not recommended for men over that age.
As if more evidence was needed to showcase the challenges we face and the need for greater attention to prevention, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) released a study on obesity that found more people in developed countries are overweight or obese than ever before. In fact, OECD estimates that an alarming 30 percent of Americans currently are overweight or obese. Even with a prevalence estimate under CDC's 34 percent obesity rate, America leads the list of fattest nations within the OECD. According to Reuters, these people are dooming themselves to "years of ill health, pushing up healthcare costs and piling more pressure on health systems."

"One potential benefit of high deductibles is that it may force our health care system into providing price transparency. Otherwise, it wil continue business as usual."
"Often times medical treatments are addresing the symptoms and not the real cause of the problem. A hollistic approach to the overall pacient life (health, conditions and behaviours) would definitely be a more efficient way of resolving health problems and even life quality of pacients. But then again, would that be considered a succes for pharmaceutical companies and medical practitioners, ..."

text: I have a Wagon R Lxi which has run approx 35000 kms and now i am having issues with 2 of my tyres. While one tyre has "taken air" and has inflated air-pockets in two places, the rubber threading of the other tyre has worn out and exposed the wires underneath. I don�t speak cars and am a total novice in these issues, so please suggest appropriate tyres from a good brand which will last long.
