Banana Kings
"A banana's taste and visual appearance are as predictable as a Big Mac's," Koeppel writes. Smooth, bright, seedless, conveniently wrapped; the banana is the original fast food--thanks in no small part to the marketing effort by United Fruit. But by supplying us with only one kind of banana all of these years and doing everything in its power to incorporate it into our daily diet and consciousness, the company put itself in a kind of pickle. How can consumers accept any other kind of banana as a banana? As it turns out, scientists in Honduras have bred a banana that can withstand Panama disease and Sigatoka. But the supposed problem with the Goldfinger, as the breed is known, is not its hardiness but its inability to conform to our preconceived notion of a banana. It doesn't look like what we expect; Koeppel calls it "rotund" and claims it doesn't rot. But more significant, it apparently doesn't have the familiar banana taste--though as much a banana as any other, it is very different from the Cavendish. Many people call it the "acid banana" or "apple banana," and it's described as "tart" and "less creamy." In taste tests, consumers pick the Cavendish over the Goldfinger, and according to Koeppel it "tastes so different than what we're now accustomed to that the transition could be more jarring than the Gros Michel changeover." In other words, United Fruit was so successful at convincing us that its banana was the only kind of banana that companies are reluctant to sell anything else, even in the face of extinction and lost profits.
Koeppel sees the answer to our banana woes in genetic engineering. As farfetched as it may sound, scientists are currently working to map the banana genome, and experiments are under way to modify bananas genetically to carry the hepatitis B vaccine and contain extra quantities of vitamin A from fish. According to Koeppel, genetic manipulation is the best hope for a hardier, disease-resistant banana. "Genetic transformation...is revolution, not evolution," he quotes a leading banana scientist as saying.
Is this the kind of food revolution we really want? After all, the story of the modern banana--and, in fact, modern agriculture--has been about man attempting to tame nature through technological and business innovation. But nature has always rebelled. To sell more bananas and to determine the idea of the banana, the businessmen grew and sold just one kind. But that leaves the crop especially vulnerable to pathogens, so when disease threatened, the company doused the plants with pesticides. When those no longer worked, they abandoned the land ravaged by monoculture and chemicals and moved elsewhere. Now on the run, the banana men are turning to the lab for a genetically modified miracle. Yes, it's very possible that genetically manipulated bananas are safe to eat and won't create science fiction-inspired disaster. The jury's still out on the health consequences. But technological innovation has never been the panacea it's advertised to be; unintended consequences and vulnerabilities to nature have always emerged. Why does Koeppel think things will be different this time?
While small-scale organic farming all over the world is going a long way toward countering large-scale monoculture practiced by agribusinesses everywhere, I'm not sure the world can rely on those good methods for our supply of bananas. It's a crucial fruit, especially for people in poorer countries. Ugandans, to take an example, eat more than 500 pounds of bananas per person per year, and so whatever the solution is, it has to be big, and replicated many times over. Large-scale farming too often goes hand in hand with monoculture, and though there may be a way to integrate crop rotation and biodiversity into our banana plantations, I don't know if that's realistic--especially right away.
But one solution can come in the form of altering our idea of the banana--the very idea that was so firmly shaped by the banana moguls themselves. The banana is not a Big Mac, and its taste and visual appearance should not be as predictable as one. It's a fruit from nature, not a complicated cocktail of additives and preservatives, and we should come to expect from it that which we associate with nature: variety and imperfection. With that comes unpredictability, but also pleasure. Repurposing our expectation of the banana in this way will make room in our grocery stores for funny-looking, strange-tasting bananas like the Goldfinger. Our expectations broadened, maybe we won't need to rely on the mechanized salvation promised by genetic scientists.

As we strive to bring more function to smaller form factors, sometimes the stars align and the result is worth the hard work. The Westmore Convertible Laptop Sleeve is a great example of that labor of love. It's constructed in custom water resistant woven stripe material so it looks great. But then you get under the hood to reveal a slim profile padded and fleece-lined sleeve for up to 13" MacBook Pro or MacBook Air transport. We also incorporated a separate front storage pocket (also padded and fleece-lined) for iPad and an additional front accessory pocket for cables and plugs. But the unique surplus grade strapping system is what makes this bag really sing. Straps can be tucked away in the rear pocket and hidden from view leaving only a clean sleeve with a top carry handle. Or the straps can emerge allowing the bag to be worn as a backpack. Or, the straps can be connected together to allow the bag to be worn as a cross body - your choice. Black logo lining, and bar-tacked critical seams for durability round out the feature list. So, let's summarize: Carries a lot of stuff, insane strap system, and a slim and innovative form factor. Enjoy!

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 3/21/13
I was in line at the Jewel grocery store Wednesday when word started spreading through Chicago: Brian Urlacher is no longer a Bear. Where were you when you heard it, Chicago? "They finally did it?'' the guy behind me asked. "What did they get for him?'' They didn't trade him. They dumped him. "They dumped him,'' he repeated. "Ah, it was probably time.'' "Urlacher is gone?'' said the cashier? "Don't you think he could have played one more year?'' Sure. He wanted to stay. But he thought the Bears' offer was an insult. They low-balled him to get him to leave, so they wouldn't have to get out from under their desks and tell him goodbye. "They dumped him?'' she said. "It was probably time.'' As for emotional goodbyes, this isn't one. Urlacher was the face of the Chicago Bears for over a decade. He was a Hall of Fame linebacker, but not the next Dick Butkus, which is what Chicago expected. And no one wanted to see Urlacher limp around the way Butkus did at the end, anyway. Urlach...

Søren, I hope we will ba able to make one here. There's a lot of information on the web already, but much of it is scappered and hard to find.
Do a google search for "Tigin Cameras" - if it's still online, he's got one of the best lists. At least it's all in one place.

College Football Countdown: No. 6 Oklahoma State Cowboys
CORPUS CHRISTI - Head coach: Mike Gundy (Seventh year at OSU and overall, 47-29)
Last season: 11-2 (Beat Arizona in the Alamo Bowl)
Starters returning; offense/defense: 9/6
Three to watch on offense: OT Levy Adcock; WR Justin Blackmon; QB Brandon Weeden
Three to watch on defense: SLB Shaun Lewis; SS Markelle Martin; FS Johnny Thomas
Breakout player: WR Josh Stewart. Just what the Cowboys need — another big-play receiver. But expect Stewart, a polished return man for being a freshman, to earn quality reps at wideout. It's a stacked position, but Stewart will elbow his way into the mix.
9/17 at Tulsa
9/24 at Texas A&M*
10/15 at Texas*
10/22 at Missouri*
11/12 at Texas Tech*
11/18 at Iowa State*
Home games in CAPS
*-Big 12 game
1. Back With Blackmon. Oklahoma State seems primed to turn into Receiver U. Lose Dez Bryant, find another big, fast, strong acrobatic target in Justin Blackmon, a 6-1, 215 beast of a player. Staking his own claim as the program's top receiver, Blackmon had 111 catches last season. One hundred and eleven. He had nearly 1,800 receiving yards. Eighteen hundred. Oh, and 20 TDs. This isn't arena football, either. So Blackmon caught one other thing — a Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver. Don't see him dropping that one this year, either.
2. Weeden Out The Best. Blackmon wasn't the only key player to emerge last season. Brandon Weeden had the task of taking over for record-setting QB Zac Robinson and, in turn, directed the nation's No. 2 passing offense and set high standards of his own. All Weeden did in his first season as starter was set the school record for passing yards (4,277), TDs (34) and completion percentage (66.9), among many others. With three of his top four targets returning, including the esteemed Mr. Blackmon, and the return of Hubert Anyiam, the top receiver in 2009 who missed much of last year with injuries, there actually is room for improvement.
3. In Tandem. An ultimate compliment for anybody in any profession — it takes at least two people to replace you. That could be the case for Kendall Hunter, the third cog in the orange offensive machine last season. Hunter rushed for 1,548 yards last season, but now will ply his trade for the San Francisco 49ers. Joseph Randle and Jeremy Smith figure to alternate carries, though hyped freshman Herschel Sims will get time. Randle and Smith combined for more than 700 rushing yards, and Randle was the team's fourth-leading receiver. Smith is power. Randle is the slasher. The entire offensive line is back with All-America candidate Levy Adcock at tackle so no drop here. But it takes two to replace Hunter.
4. Lemon's Law. With all the offensive fireworks, the flaw is on defense. Four of the starting front seven were lost, including LB Orie Lemon, quick to the ball and the team's leading tackler. And this from a team that ranked 88th nationally in total defense and 115th in pass defense. Granted, with all the quick scores from the offense the D is bound to give up some points, but 115th in pass defense is ridiculous anyway it's sliced. Improvement here is mandatory.
5. Martin and Lewis. But there is talent on defense. Shaun Lewis was the Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year after making 58 tackles, eight for loss, with three picks and three fumbles forced at outside linebacker. Also, strong safety Markelle Martin is a striker with 10 passes broken up. Johnny Thomas, his partner at safety, also can make the big play. So, the ability is there, but the play, as a unit, has not been.
6. A Different Party. The coordinating part of the offense is a bit of a question. Dana Holgorsen, the coordinator, left to be, in rapid succession, coach-in-waiting at West Virginia and then the team's head coach. While Holgorsen has made headlines for his partying ways in the Mountaineer State, Todd Monken, a former Cowboys assistant in the Les Miles days, will have his hands on the controls. If it's a halfway smooth transition, the offense will short scoreboards.
On the Cowboys: "We've had a smooth transition. When you have a quarterback who is as mature as Brandon is, he's willing to buy in. Todd Monken came in and was willing to accept our offense. For the most part, we'll be very similar to what we were last year." — Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy on the change in team's offensive coordinators, with Monken in control.
Feels like: 1988. A prolific offensive player (Barry Sanders). Mike Gundy at the helm (QB instead of head coach). An offense that had to keep up with a sieve-like defense. And the last time the Cowboys had back-to-back double-digit win seasons. Expect more of the same, but a bigger postseason payoff than the Holiday Bowl.
Key game: Dec. 3 vs. Oklahoma. There's no guarantee this game decides a spot in the national title game or even the Big 12. But it's likely. Or one team can prevent the other from reaching its dreams. Through any prism, this will be Bedlam at its best.
Why they could be No. 1: That offense should light up almost any defense in the nation.
Why they will be No. 6: But that defense might get lit up by too many offenses.
Trouble if: The offense has to constantly match score for score because the defense isn't slowing anybody down.

I agree, BUT just to a certain degree.
True it is quite a bit to explore and in this regard GW2 is better than many other mmorpg's *coughswtorcough* - there are quite a bit of things that is not so nice on explore.
There is certain degree of structuring in this game but mostly important this is game with a world made of 'zones' ripped from a world.
It is still great, and nice to explore, but it is not a best thing explorer could wish for - imho.

IMHO, Achievers will try complete hearts while they look for DE.
BTW, I am Archiever Social, with a few Explorer and very few Killer, and loved GW2.

I guess it's not significantly worse than WoW's "here's a green forest area. And here's a really snowy area right next to it" management of things.

Thanks for your post OP. This actually gives me some heart. I am almost 40 years old and have been playing way too many MMO's and I am about to give up on the whole industry as I am getting way too disheartened with the cookie cutters being mass produced.
I realise Guild Wars 2 isn't going to be the second coming of MMO's but there a lot of perceived changes that shows they are serious about mixing it up a bit.
I am a massive explorer/crafter type player and although I love PvP and PvE equally. I do get bored if I don't have a side activity which I can fall into for a good few hours.
Having no or highly linear exploration in a game is just BULLSH1T programming, its lazy and insulting to a player base which on the whole is mature and experienced with various gaming models.
I just finished up with SWTOR and within the first 2 days I realised there was no point in wandering off because, well, there was no point. I felt like minced pork being pushed through a sausage skin with no where to hide or venture off to.
I know they can't compete against games like Elder Scrolls but having some content that may need a player to venture off the track or even use some skills to dig up or discover something, is rewarding a player who wants to experience your world.
It also means a gamer will spend more time in the game and with each rewarding discovery, will keep them playing on, meaning more money for subs or expansions.
Some games like Vanguard, EVE, Fallen Earth etc. Do have rewards for venturing off and its a buzz when you can show off your new merchant access or item which you picked up by really searching the world.
I am really looking forward to GW2 now

True - that's why for zoned game it is done very well (also played BWE).
Still it is missing this 'feel' of seamlessness. WoW and few other games (like UO) did.
There are whole continents and sea there.
Of course most mmorpg's with WoW being best example did not utilize this feature to even half of it's potential, but that's another thing :/
So from my point of view GW2 is good for exploring, but it is missing few things.
You get out of the starting tutorial and are forced to do the hearts nearby OR hope there is a dynamic event in the 200 meter range. Because lvl6 mobs 500 meter away will two shot you with default hits at lvl2. Unless there is a zergfest where you can "contribute" by spamming your first AOE for 10 damage.
The only thing you can do besides grinding this tiny area is "exploring". Which means to wander of for sightseeing in the more open zone rails.
Being lvl10 isn't to bad then, suddently the lvl 5 - 10 content on all race areas opens up. Being lvl20 starts to get interesting, lvl5 - 20 is all yours to "explore".
This is how GW2 works, this is when GW2 starts to be interesting. I personally will rush to max level and then enjoy the whole world as my playground, instead of getting tossed between "questhubs". (It's not practical to teleport between silvari and Human lvl15 zone's for "doing" stuff every half hour).
I'm an old mmo gamer, used to gaming worlds where social interaction made the content. This is the ugly part about GW2, this "make your own contet" just does not work out till later levels.
GW2 is really just a questhub (heart & DE) grind till you reach lvl30~ and get some meaningfull choices on what to do (especially when downscaling keeps lower areas viable).
It probably wouldn't have been that much of an ugly start if there wasn't this ridiculous level scaling of combat stats on top of your real stats.

Level 1 to 6 is where you start to learn the game on the first time through, or start to learn a new profession on a replay. The level 2-6 areas of the level 2-15 zones can seem a little restrictive. So, you are basically correct that the game starts out pretty narrow, (although you can easily travel to any of the other four race's starting areas for more variety), but it opens up further and further as you reach higher levels. Because of level scaling and the massive amounts of content, by the time you reach level 15, things will be very expansive with lots of choices of what to do and where to go.
What I would recommend to people, even those who believe they may not have much interest in the Personal Story, is to do all your personal story events when you are high enough level to do them, at least to level 10. They give good XP and loot and really supplement your leveling during those early levels. Also, many of the Heart Task areas in those level 2-6 sub zones have Dynamic Events that occasionally go off in the same area. Keeping an eye out for DEs can also cut down on any feeling that you don't have as much content as you might like at the start of the game.
Of course, another easy solution is to just take a short cut to the Asuran Portals that connect to all the racial cities and hop back and forth between two racial areas for the level 2-6 journey. Having friends can open up content a bit above your level as well. During the Stress Test, I started a new Warrior and I did a fair amount of tagging along with others so I could survive content a couple levels above me.
(Another tip for anyone, especially explorers, is to head right into your city as soon as you finish the level 1 tutorial and explore. You get XP for finding points of interest and waypoints with in the city and you can gain a level fairly easily and likely two levels if you are thorough).

Rackspace is the latest in a string of recent hosting provider caused hackings of client websites. Unfortunately some hosting providers continue to not take the basic steps to keep their customers secure from hack at the hosting provider level. One of the most basic security steps is keeping software updated, which Rackspace has failed to do so with at least one major software component. On January 27, phpMyAdmin, a widely used MySql database administration tool, released a security advisory warning of "critical" vulnerability in version of 2.11.x prior to version 2.11.10. The secure version of phpMyAdmin had been released month prior to the security advisorie's release. Rackspace finally upgraded their installation of phpMyAdmin running on their Rackspace Cloud service on June 13 and that was only after "after customer reports brought" it to their attention. Up until then, they had not updated phpMyAdmin since version 2.11.3 was released, which was back in December of 2007. Rackspace claims that they have "reviewed and adjusted our procedures so that going forward we will do better to stay up to date with the latest security releases of phpMyAdmin".

El Camino celebrates new home
Independent-study school to cut ribbon at Ventura College
When El Camino High School opened in 1982, teacher Nancy Stout and 12 students made the best of their cramped quarters in Ventura.
The independent-study school did not have a permanent home back then. It set up shop in the only available place at Will Rogers School: a closet.
"We had one desk, one table, a Xerox machine just me and the students in the cloakroom," Stout said. "We started as a program for kids who didn't belong anywhere to now being accredited, and with the expectation that each student will take at least one college-level course. It's a dream come true."
The school eventually graduated to its own campus on Dean Drive. Now, students have an even larger home — at Ventura College — and will celebrate at a ribbon-cutting today.
After some delay, El Camino High School at Ventura College opened this school year at 61 Day Road. Nestled on a quarter-acre at the college's northeast end, the high school is just a stone's throw from the library, classes and other services the college has to offer, Principal Kelsie Sims said.
"Since all of our students take classes at Ventura College, it just made sense for the kids to be here," Sims said. "It's a great opportunity for students to have access to the college and still be a high school student first."
El Camino teachers, administrators, students and other guests will gather at the new campus at 3 p.m. today for a public unveiling and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The school was scheduled to open last fall, but the $1.2 million project was delayed because Ventura Unified School District officials had to wait for approval from the Division of the State Architect, Sims said. The school opened Aug. 19, the first day of school in Ventura.
More than 85 percent of El Camino's 275 students take college courses, and more than half are involved in community service, internships or work, Sims said.
As part of the independent-study requirements, students must meet with their high school teachers for at least two hours a week. They can take college courses at no cost, Sims said.
At the new campus, students meet with teachers in one of five modular classrooms. There is a separate modular office for administration and a multipurpose room.
Two teachers share each classroom, where students can work on assignments quietly and take tests. Students can meet with teachers by appointment, with each teacher overseeing 35 students.
El Camino has a competency-based curriculum, which means students have to take tests and pass with at least a C or better before they can move on to the next lesson.
"It is a wonderful way to learn and much more conducive to learning," said Wendy Novak, who has taught at the school for eight years. "Being at the college will make it easier for students, and now it will be easier for them to make their appointments (with teachers)."
El Camino senior Karoun Kasraie said the independent-study plan has allowed him to take college classes, play in Ventura High School and Ventura British Brass bands, and volunteer at De Anza Middle School, where he teaches trombone.
This semester, Kasraie is taking four classes at Ventura College and will have at least 55 college credits by the time he graduates. "I'm not sure if I could have accomplished everything I have at another school," he said. "It's really great being on a college campus, because it simplifies things being in a centralized location.
"It's our little oasis at the college."
The school had a long waiting list at the old campus, but the new site allows it to enroll at least 70 more students, Sims said. The school recently hired two more teachers in anticipation of the growth, Sims said. About 30 percent of the students live outside Ventura Unified boundaries, Sims said.
Looking back at El Camino's humble beginnings, Stout said she is proud of the school's growth, but also of the students.
"There's a pride in who they are with the fact that they are on a college campus," she said. "There is an expectation for them to do well. They've worked hard to be here and they will take advantage of what the school and the college have to offer."

Sculpted by Nature: Silver and Copper
from the Peter H. Farquhar Collection
September 3 – December 7, 2014
Throughout history, massive amounts of copper and silver have been mined from noncrystalline mixtures of several minerals in deposits such as the huge copper mines of Utah and Arizona and the silver veins of Mexico. However, copper (Cu) or silver (Ag) also occur very rarely as pure metals in a variety of crystalline or wire-like shapes.
As a result of the conditions of their growth and their internal atomic structures, these exceptional specimens of copper and silver may mimic organic tree-like forms or abstract sculptures; they may also form complex, well-defined crystals in geometric shapes. Examples are known from the copper and silver deposits of the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan and the silver mines of the Kongsberg district in Norway. These spectacular "sculptures" of natural copper and silver are generously lent by Peter H. Farquhar, professor, management consultant, magician, and collector.

Notable Jet Card Providers
We do not accept paid editorial content in Business Jet Traveler. This list, like the other directories in our Buyers' Guide, includes a sampling of providers that we consider notable. Our lists are not meant to be comprehensive but we are always open to suggestions for additions.—Jeff Burger, Editor
Dear Jeff, I have been a NetJets fractional owner for sometime and in recent years bought into the Paramount Jet card for additional lift. They have been providing us with great service at reduced rates.
I think what you should do is break up these companies by who is a operator, a broker...who is focused on a national level, local level. Then explain the difference between them- most people don't know the difference between an operator or a broker. Then go into who requires a down payment, what it is on average- do they have peak days? do they charge for deadheads? Are they guaranteed? What is their safety rating?
If you want to talk with someone about all the differences please let me know- all jet cards are not created equally and it depends on a persons lifestyle and needs.

Joined Desura before Steam, how about that?
No blog entries have been posted here. Boring yes, but as confucius says - if you have nothing good to say, why say anything at all? Check back later, perhaps something exciting will pop-up and be worth blogging about, like season 3 of the teletubbies.
Speak your mind, rant about games, mods and the development scene, it's simple and who knows maybe someone will read it and agree. It will feel right!

This is so pretty!!
I love how you retained your bright, colourful style in this picture, but also took your time to really get the details of the bench right without resorting to large strokes. Just like a couple of other paintings you've uploaded recently. Attention to detail as well as the brightness that I love so much about your work.
I like the bright colors and the lights reflected by rain on the ground. Your art has a good taste
I don't which one you check more, so you'll see this in your profile and in your personal messages.
I came across this here: own-pieces.tumblr.com/post/462…. There was no credible source, but luckily, I was able to recognize the style. I informed the person who posted this that there was no credible source. Not only did they refuse to source it, but they were pretty rude about it:
Me: post/46222031191 original source is from leonidafremov(.)deviantart(.)com/art/THE-LONELINESS-OF-AUTUMN-69753010
Her: and ?
Me: Not putting up the original source would constitute as art theft as it is giving no credible source to the original artist...
Her: I just reblogg it, come on! I know he's an a incredible artist, and if somebody want to know, going to ask who is the artist.
some people just reblogg to have more pictures in they're blog, and some people like me reblogg it because is amazing! so, thanks for your opinion.
Me: I thought you posted it, lol... (And that's not the definition of an opinion...) ((at this point, I'm starting to get passive-aggressive))
Her: come on! stfu just do something more interesting in your life, i really don't care what you think, i didn't stolen or what ever you want to say, because i even know draw lol, so, i just shared, because for me was intersting and amazing!
Me: Actually, reposting someone's art work and not giving them credible source is pretty much art theft. It literally takes less than a minute to source someone's art. It's not that hard. Jesus, you act like I shot your dog in the face.
I love your work!
Mr. Afremov, your paintings are absolutely remarkable. I admire your use of bright colors and unusual shapes. I could not afford it, but would love to have one of your stunning paintings on my living room wall. Thank you for your unique and inspiring talent!
Incredibly original. I love how the light is reflected on the street, and the style of the trees is amazing. And the colors are spectacular. Probably one of the most mesmerizing paintings I've seen.
That's very beautiful!!!
I love love love this! Beautiful
You, sir, are a master at reflections.
I am in LOVE with this painting, and all the rest of your work! Your use of color is absolutely spectacular, I could get lost in every one of your paintings. Amazing!
Glorious! I wish i could see the world like that.
That is Amazing, really at a loss of words
You Sir, are brilliant I love being able to feature you in my journal again
very nice!
I love the use of cool (cool as in green blue and purple not as in awesome, but they are cool in that sense of the word too!) colors in the sky and trees mixed with the vibrance of colors to symbolize your view of fall!
Beautiful !
You sir are amazing.
This is absolutely beautiful! It's very heartwarming to look at, you did an amazing job
This is absolutly profound & STUNNING
I really like how you play with the colors.
This is very very nice.
This is very very nice.
The colors are so beautiful and bright, it just draws you right in!
Wonderful painting,,brilliant technique i love your work,,WOW!
Your work is breathtaking!
You succeeded in catching the Light of Autumn in your picture - this special light which is warmer than any Light of Summer or Spring can be. This Picture is wonderful ! But one question: Why is it posted under "Chagall"? I don't know all pictures of Chagall of course - but I really cannot imagine, that this picture has been painted by Chagall.
amazing!!! so beautifully done! great job!
This is great job! It seems I could feel that atmosphere. Lovely.
Another piece of art that can make me cry.. *sobs sobs* why can't i do that too?
Very beautiful!
This is absolutely gorgeous.
nice, very nice..
I'm sorry for my bad english! It prevents me from saying what I really thing about your painting.. and what it makes me feel..
really well done!
I'm sorry for my bad english! It prevents me from saying what I really thing about your painting.. and what it makes me feel..

OMG this is so beautiful! All the colours are just amazing... Love it!

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 10/9/12
Ozzie Guillen is vacationing in Spain, awaiting his fate with the Marlins. After a disappointing season in which the Marlins were supposed to contend and instead spent the bulk of the season at the bottom of the standings, the skipper accepted his share of the blame before bolting overseas. "It was disappointing for everyone," Guillen said, according to MLB.com. "I'm disappointed in myself. I thought we were going to have a better season. Any time I do anything in life, I want to be the best. "Everything in life: best father, best husband, best son, but you're not always going to be. Was I the best this year? Obviously, no, but I think this year I put more emphasis and more work to figure out this thing." He may not have the opportunity to correct the team's mistakes. Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria is currently contemplating whether to fire Guillen after one season or clean house in other aspects of the organization. Since 2006 -- the year after World Series-winning manager Jack McKeon left -- the manager's job in Miami has been a revolving door, going from Joe Girardi to Fredi Gonzalez to Edwin Rodriguez back to McKeon and then to Guillen. The losing campaign comes a season after the Marlins doled out big money to sign Jose Reyes, Heath Bell and Mark Buehrle in free agency. But Guillen doesn't think pursuing marquee free agents results in winning and he pinpointed the Athletics and Orioles to back his assertion. "They win with good players, hungry players, and the guys who play the game right," Guillen said. "I think there are two teams who were my inspiration this year. I think the Oakland A's, and Baltimore." Given the circumstances, Guillen is prepared for any decision now. "It's easy to manage when you're winning games and you make every move and that move works," Guillen said. "No matter what move you make, you are satisfied. What we did this year, we didn't see much of that. Who's going to take the blame for the move? Myself. That's the bottom line." Guillen's future with the organization should be determined very soon.

Most racing sims are all about getting somewhere quickly, but Forza Horizon 2 is filled with moments where you can enjoy the scenery and culture surrounding the cars.
We take the Xbox One's racing launch title for a spin and see just how eerily realistic its player-generated, cloud-based AI opponents can be.
The new Xbox One console celebrating Forza Motorsport 6 is extremely blue in color.
Microsoft's flagship racing series takes rain effects to realistic levels.
At the E3 gaming conference in Los Angeles, Microsoft showed off the latest installment of its Forza racing series, featuring the new Ford GT.

Q From Nick Carrington: What's the origin of the phrase gone for a Burton, please?
A We wish we knew.
In informal British English, something or someone who has gone for a Burton is missing; a thing so described might be permanently broken, missing, ruined or destroyed. The original sense was to meet one's death, a slang term in the RAF in World War Two for pilots who were killed in action (its first recorded appearance in print was in the New Statesman on 30 August 1941).
The list of supposed origins is extremely long, but the stories are so inventive and wide-ranging that you may find them intriguing:
There's little we can do to choose one of these over the others. If the advertisements really did run before the War they would be the obvious source, though none have been traced and the most probable candidate, the Burton Brewery Co Ltd, closed in 1935 and was hardly well-known even before then. Whatever the truth, knowing a little about wartime pilots, my bet would be on some association with beer.
[A version of this piece appears in my book Port Out, Starboard Home, which is available in a paperback edition from Penguin Books.]

Select Local Merchants
Laguna Art MuseumRead MoreThe Laguna Art Museum began in 1918 as a small gallery in a converted cottage, where local artists would display and sell their pieces to the public. As the exhibits and collections grew larger over the next several decades, the founders moved the gallery into a larger, custom space, and eventually transformed it into a museum celebrating the development of Californian art from the 19th century to the present. The museum currently boasts a permanent collection of more than 3,500 works, as well as rotating exhibits that track the evolution of artistic expression. To further its mission of spreading public appreciation for local art, the museum hosts informative lectures and open-house receptions. The museum's Carole Reynolds Art Research Library also intrigues readers with more than 5,000 books, many of which chronicle the history of Californian art.307 Cliff DrLaguna Beach, CA US
Pacific Marine Mammal CenterRead MoreThe Pacific Marine Mammal Center offers its visitors the chance to add a sea lion to their family trees. Through symbolic adoptions, the non-profit organization funds its mission to locate, rehabilitate, and release injured marine mammals—including seals, sea lions, and dolphins—back home in the wild. After admitting one of these animal patients, the Pacific Marine Mammal Center's animal-care director and a veterinary medical director can administer antibiotics, nurse mammals back to health or go through treatment plans for various diseases and illnesses. Aside from adoptions, the center educates the public about these efforts through programs such as field trips and day camps for kids.20612 Laguna Canyon Rd.Laguna Beach, CA US
Flavors of LagunaRead MoreFlavors of Laguna's tasting tours meander to well-known Laguna Beach restaurants as well as eateries kept quiet by locals, with tastings of a wide variety of cuisines along the way. Though stops can vary, past trips have seen tour-goers dig spoons into Dolce Gelato's creamy handcrafted treats, sample sizzling dishes at La Sirena Grill, or cozy up to the horseshoe island bar at Lumberyard. (Wine or beer tastings are available for an extra fee.) Between bites, guides point out major sights during casual strolls around Laguna's streets, ensuring that tours, like city maps made of chocolate, are informative as well as delicious.347 Mermaid St.Laguna Beach, CA US

Tools I Offer:
More Coming Here soon!
Tools I Recommend:
|The polish lap I use most is Corian (for everything softer than Spinel), and of the Corian laps I've tried, my favorite, for both price and quality is the one made by Sierra Gems.You can order their 8-inch lap here.
Gemological Kit
This kit contains four of the most essential gem identification and evaluation tools useful for the serious faceter, in a bundle with Schumann's essential book. If you're getting started, I think this is a good deal.
Chelsea Filter, Dichroscope, Jewelers Loupe, Gemological Refractometer – Gem Identification Tools, Bundle 6 Items
- Chelsea Filter
- Dichroscope
- 10x triplet jewelers loupe
- Gemological Refractomer with 10 grams of Certified RI. 1.80 Liquid included.
- Copy of GEMSTONES OF THE WORLD book by Walter Schumann.
BelOMO 10x Triplet Loupe
This is my favorite good-quality loupe. It's the one I personally use for both examination of rough and faceting quality control.
BelOMO 10x Triplet Loupe Folding Magnifier, High-Quality Optical Glass with Anti-Reflection Coating
- 10x Magnification Power
- Large 0.65" (17mm) Viewing Area
- Large 21mm(0.85") Achromatic Triplet Lens Gathers Light for a Bright, Clear and
- Color Correct View
Polarizing Film – Polarizing Filter
If you want to build yourself a nice big polariscope for evaluating large rough – or multiple pieces at a time. Or, if you just want to have room to manipulate your rough inside your polariscope (very useful in locating optic axis, finding optic sign, etc) – this is an economical way to go about it.
Polarizing Film – Polarizing Filter – HEAVY DUTY LAMINATED
- Comes with protective peel-off film on both sides.
- Great for doing cool science projects/experiments.
- Great for building large POLARISCOPES
If you don't buy the bundle mentioned above, this is a beginner-grade refractometer – which I find sufficient for the typical serious faceter.
Spectrum Naturals Refined Walnut Oil
This is an immersion oil option that has an RI of about 1.47 – far better than water. And, though not quite as good as Wintergreen (below), it is not strong-smelling, and is utterly nontoxic – in fact a good source of Omega 3. (I also find it good to cook with).
Spectrum Naturals Refined Walnut Oil, 16 oz
Kosher Vegetable Glycerine 48 ounces
This is an immersion oil option that has an RI of about 1.474 – far better than water. And, though not quite as good as Wintergreen (below), it is not strong-smelling, and is utterly nontoxic. It's also water soluble, so easy to clean!
Glycerin Vegetable Kosher USP 43 oz
Methyl Salicylate (Oil of Wintergreen)
This is a very standard immersion oil, widely used due to the 1.53 RI. It does smell rather strong, and will be irritating to the eyes and throats of some people. If you spill it you cannot get the smell out, so be careful. DO NOT get it in your eyes. And, it will also penetrate your skin, so do not handle it excessively.
Methyl Salicylate 1000ml High Purity (Oil of Wintergreen)
Ear Plugs / EarPlugs Kids Soft Silicone
Use these for holding stones while precision dopping. It retains shape and position, and does not readily burn, so you can hot dop with it. Much faster and better than screw-type mechanical rough holders.
Ear Plugs / EarPlugs Kids Soft Silicone – 6 pairs
The Original Super Glue, 12-pack
People often ask me which Superglue I use, and this is it: The original and name-brand kind – which I buy in a 12-pack for convenience and savings. I like the tubes better than large bottles.
Super Glue The Original Super Glue 15187, .07 Ounce, 12-pack
5 Min Epoxy- Two 4 1/2oz Bottles
I don't use epoxy often, but when I do, I use this one.
Wixey WR300 Digital Angle Gauge
This is one of THE most handy devices for your faceting shop. It will help you level your working surfaces (or pitch them accurately for drainage). It will help you check the alignments of various parts of your machine quickly and easily. And, it's the fastest and easiest tool for calibrating your protractor and zeroing your cheater.
Check out my video on how to do it!

Connecticut seems to be a hotbed of pizza; even if it is self-proclaimed. (Remember Julia Roberts first big film "Mystic Pizza", set in Mystic Connecticut. Happy hour here is very happy in part because of the drink and food price reductions but also because it is a place with quite a few "regulars". New Haven Style pizza has a thin, yet flakey crust with minimal sauce that does not overpower the toppings. Service was extraordinary. Even though one of their mottos/sayings is, "Haven Pizzeria, Bethesda; Home of the hard to find, expensive parking." Bethesda, maybe; but the back door of the pizzeria opens to a very large parking lot, which maybe quite full at lunchtime, is quite cleared out by happy hour and dinner.

The #2 Driver is our best-selling Lightning disc. It`s slightly stable when new but breaks in quick to become an incredibly straight and controllable driver. As it gets beat, it makes a great long turnover disc. Comes in a wide variety of marbleized multi-colored models and it floats in water at all weights.
168-178 grams.
