A World Headed for De-Globalization?
12:00 AM, Mar 24, 2012 • By IRWIN M. STELZER
We may be entering an era of creeping de-globalization. It is one thing to be generous with the perceived foibles of your trading partners when your economy is growing and jobs are plentiful. It is quite another to decide to be tolerant when your economy is struggling, and domestic political pressure to create jobs and raise wages is increasing.
Which is the case both in China and the United States. America is in the midst of a drawn-out election campaign, with candidates vying for the China-basher-of-the-year award. Eager to shift blame for high unemployment and to appease an electorate that believes the country to be headed in the wrong direction, President Barack Obama is letting it be known, most especially to his trade union allies, that he is going to get tough on China for its currency manipulation, export control on rare minerals, buy-China policy, and theft of intellectual property. To which Republican candidates respond with even tougher statements.
Meanwhile, control of the Communist party apparatus that runs China is about to change, the so-far peaceful version of regime change, and the new boys in charge are as eager to prove they are no pushovers for the tough-talking Americans as the American politicians are to prove they are no pushovers for the wily Chinese. And, in a situation similar to America's, China's manufacturing sector is not as robust as the powers-that-be would like. It is suffering its worst quarter in three years, economic growth has slowed for five successive quarters, and layoffs are running at their fastest rate in three years. "Worse may lie ahead," says Markit's chief economist Chris Williamson. And because wages are being raised at double-digit rates to appease a restive work force, the nation's competitiveness is being reduced. Indeed, China has reached a point where its export-led model is under such serious threat that major reforms are being mooted.
Neither these facts—China is, after all, projecting a growth rate around three times what the U.S. expects -- nor the recent trade deficits recorded by China can defuse anger with its willingness to erect barriers to American goods, including its recent decision to levy tariffs ranging from 2 percent to 21.5 percent on U.S.-made cars, apparently in retaliation for America's decision to levy duties on imports of low-end tires made in China. As World Bank president Robert Zoellick is fond of warning those who would get tough with China, once you start a trade war, there is no telling how it will end. Tires today, autos tomorrow.
If the tiffs between China and the U.S. were the entire story, it could be written off as a phenomenon that will pass once the US elections are over and the new regime in China settles in. After all, China has been manipulating its currency for decades, and the squeals of outrage from members of congress mount whenever a member of China's ruling class visits the United States, only to subside when he is gone—or, like soon-to-be-president Xi Jinping, has reminded farmers in key electoral states how much they export to China.
There are two reasons to believe that this brawl will prove more enduring and more widespread. For one thing, the informal China lobby, American businessmen hopeful of tapping the huge Chinese market, have traditionally pressured Washington politicians to cool it, to avoid an all-out trade war. That lobby seems to be fed up with restrictions on American companies' ability to sell their goods in China, and with the persistent theft of their intellectual property—what Bloomberg Businessweek calls "The Great Brain Robbery." So it has gone virtually silent, removing a key brake on the willingness of any American administration to retaliate.
Moreover, China's practices are now provoking reactions in countries other than the US. Germany has two new reasons for concern. The Chinese government has ordered its bureaucrats to stop buying foreign—mostly German—cars and spend their $13 billion annually on made in China vehicles. This has German auto makers, especially Volkswagen, unhappy, since Audis are the bureaucrats' vehicle of choice, and they buy 6.5 million vehicles annually.
Germany is also upset because the $30 billion in annual subsidies lavished by the Chinese government on its manufacturers of solar panels and cells is hurting German companies, until now leaders in that industry. It is the U.S. unit of Germany's Solar-World AG that has led the successful call for the imposition by the U.S. of tariffs on China's manufacturers of solar panels and cells, recipients of $30 billion annually in government subsidies.

Hey Jonas,
What kind of equipment do you use? Type of pencils (2B , 4H etc) and paper.
Have you tried illostration board? It's very rigid and easy to work with.
Posted 17 November 2013 - 08:30 AM
I use normal printing paper and (i think) 2H and 1B pencils.
Well, maybe i will try an illustration board.
Posted 17 November 2013 - 01:18 PM
If you get illustration board. Hot press is smoother. Cold press has a little texture.
Go to www.dickblick.com and look at what they have. They used to send out free samples (small) of the papers and boards so you could see how they work. They probably still do. Try some B pencils. I used 2,4 and 6B Charcoal pencils are really dark.
I've been experimenting with them.
Keep it up!
Posted 18 November 2013 - 06:33 AM
THank you for the Tipps John!
What do you mean with hot and cold press, my english isn't so fine?
Posted 18 November 2013 - 08:48 AM
I'm not real sure myself Jonas.
I guess it has somthing to do with the way they make the paper or boards.
All I know is that the hot press is smoother.
And there's nothing wrong with your english.
Posted 19 November 2013 - 08:35 AM
Thank you John! I will try it!
Bye :-)

Let's say you're a total audiophile and have decided to finally leave the 60's and transfer your massive record collection to a more portable digital format, after sadly realizing that they will never invent a VinylMan. MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab 2013 is exactly what you need to not only turn your analog records into digital bliss, but it will also clean them up in the process.
From the beginning, Magix makes the process as simple as can be. The program asks you exactly what you're trying to accomplish. Do you want to restore a vinyl recording? Well, yes, since Sony won't reply to your letters asking for the VinylMan, that's exactly what you want to do. But just in case you moved a little further into the future, you also have options to clean tape sound, optimize audio books, edit digital files, and more. Once you make your selection, MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab 2013 will configure all its tools and presets accordingly. It becomes even easier with the Cleaning and Mastering agents, which will automatically analyze your track and make recommendations for you. Just hit apply, give it a listen, and if you like it, keep it, if not, try something else.
Ah, The Grateful Dead, filtered and unfiltered.
MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab doesn't stop there, however. There are tons of additional options that show that the audio editing and mixing are first class, including the DeClicker, DeHisser, DeCrackler, DeNoiser, DeClipper and more. You are basically given options to fix literally every type of possible audio mishap. User beware, however, as some of these tools have many advanced options and require a bit of a learning curve.
Once you've finished giving your old vinyls an audio bath, you can then prepare your tracks for use. You are given export options to save your tracks as audio files (WAV, MP3, MP3 Surround, WMA, AIFF, OGG Vorbis, FLAC and AAC are supported), or burn them to disc.
New for 2013, they have now included SoundCloner 2, which allows you to transfer your favorite sounds to any song. Audio Cleaning Lab has also been optimized across the board, making it much faster and easier on system resources.
Give up your VinylMan dreams and download MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab 2013, and bring the Grateful Dead into today.
The advanced options are a little daunting, but getting started was insanely easy, and if you just stick with the presets, you'll be able to clean up and export digital audio files in no time. Great software, and a free trial download...try it now, and when you want to buy (we know you will), just click on the ad for an exclusive discount from Sure Software!

We were considering a loftier title for this post – something like "Everything you always wanted to know about mindfulness and meditation." Or, "The ultimate guide to mindfulness and meditation."
In "Wikipedia-esque" fashion, this post would cover everything!
But, Wikipedia actually does cover most of that. It discusses the history, definitions, and different types of meditation, as well as postures, health benefits, and even pop-culture references!
Do you want to know the difference between insight and concentration meditation? Wikipedia will tell you.
In fact, when people contact us they are usually suffering from information overload. There is so much out there, they are confused, overwhelmed, and wondering where to start and what to focus on.
Over the past 12+ years, we have taught tens of thousands of people how to better understand and deal with the problems created by their compulsive minds. In the first three months of this year alone (2014), over eleven hundred people requested our guide to mindfulness and meditation, or started our course: "How to change your relationship with your mind."
There seems to be more interest now than ever before!
The mainstream media has popularized mindfulness and meditation. TIME Magazine featured it on the cover of their February 2014 issue, and this year's Super Bowl winner (2014) - the Seattle Seahawks - claimed meditation played a part in their victory.
The publicity has people interested, but they have trouble finding a straight-forward explanation. This post is meant to provide that.
It is not a "how to guide" - we've written one of those, and you can get it here for free.
This post is the "why" and "what" in a simple, concise manner.
"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." - Albert Einstein
"Think of your mind as a puppy that is curious, excited, and has a limited attention span. It busily trots from one thing to another, without much direction or reason. Meditation is gently guiding the puppy (your mind) back to where you want it once you become aware it has wandered." - meditationSHIFT
Have you met your mind?
There is a voice inside your head. I'm sure you've noticed it.
It tells you stories – some positive and some negative. Probably more negative than positive, if you're like the rest of us.
That voice is your mind, and your mind is compulsive. It is always going, and it creates thoughts that sweep you away. Those thoughts come and go seemingly at random, and your mind bounces around from subject to subject like a puppy exploring a new house.
In any given minute you might think about bills you have to pay, a project for work/school, errands you need to run, that article you read earlier, the health of a family member, the person that was rude to you yesterday, fear/anxiety over some pending event, a friend from grade school, or how your boss is a jerk.
Observing the mind's compulsive, sporadic nature is entertaining, amazing, and frightening all at the same time!
What's ironic is that, for every thought you are actually aware of, there are hundreds (thousands?) that you aren't.
Think of the air you breathe – you don't see it, but you are surrounded by it. Or an iceberg - what you see above the surface is just the tip; underneath there is much more. Thoughts are the same.
This is an important point because the small amount of thoughts that you are aware of is usually overwhelming. And if that's overwhelming, what effect is the large amount that you aren't aware of having?
People say things like:
Think of it like a pond of muddy water: There is a lot of stuff floating around, and it's hard to see very far because it's murky and dark. But, you know that what you can see is only a small fraction of what's actually there.
"Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone." - Alan Watts
"Don't try to control your mind or 'force' it to do something - just observe it. If you simply observe, things become clear." - meditationSHIFT
To summarize:
Mindfulness and meditation can help with these challenges. In the simplest of terms, practicing both will allow you to:
note – a lot of people are unaware of the problems created by their compulsive minds. And, many will still deny it after being told: "That's not me!" There is an easy way to prove (or disprove) it to yourself. Get a pen and paper, sit down in a comfortable chair, start a timer for 10 minutes, and write down every thought you have until the timer goes off. It's rare anyone makes it the entire 10 minutes!
Meditation – cultivating awareness.
Meditation is often compared to exercising. The more you exercise, the stronger your muscles get.
If we stay with this analogy and consider meditation the exercise, awareness is the muscle you are making stronger.
When you meditate, you build up your awareness. You improve your powers of observation, and your ability to concentrate. This allows you to become skilled at seeing what your mind is doing.
More important, it keeps you from getting attached to your mind-made activity.
We have all observed our thoughts before. You've probably asked yourself:
Meditation builds on this by making observation a focused effort. It conditions you to become aware of your mind and its activity, and it helps you develop an understanding of the process that occurs from thought to decision to action/reaction. When you understand that process, you can affect it. As a result, you have the potential to dramatically improve your life by reducing the effects of worry, stress, anxiety, depression, et cetera.
When you observe your thoughts, you learn not to get swept away by them. You realize you don't have to believe what your mind tells you:
We all dwell on thoughts like these, both consciously and unconsciously. But, a consistent meditation practice allows you to see them for what they are: mental constructs that you don't have to get caught up in.
There's even better news: you see that thoughts are not permanent. They are like the weather - wait a while, and it will change.
Thoughts will pass, unless you cling to them or dwell on them. Your mind tries to make them appear permanent, but they aren't. When you meditate, you are able to observe their temporary nature. And, you learn that you can let them go the same as you watched them come.
note - it is worth mentioning that we did not say meditation will help you "stop thinking." That is a common misconception – so much so, that we wrote an entire post on it (see our index of articles). What is important is that you don't need to stop thinking. The fact that your mind is compulsive and produces non-stop thoughts is NOT the problem. The problem is that you identify with those thoughts - you get lost in them, and most of the time you are thinking without knowing you are thinking. Meditation solves that problem.
How does mindfulness fit in?
Meditation isn't something you do one time; it's not a quick fix to eliminate all of your problems.
It's something you do consistently, something that you assimilate into your life, and something that enables a state of ongoing awareness. We refer to this state of ongoing awareness as mindfulness.
In short, you have dedicated meditation sessions in order to cultivate mindfulness in your daily life when you aren't meditating.
To use another analogy, people practice in order to execute (perform) well. Athletes practice to do well in the game. Dancers and actors practice to perform well on the stage. Speakers practice to present well to an audience. Dedicated meditation sessions are the "practice," being mindful in everything you do throughout your day is the "execution."
The more you sit and practice (meditation), the more it carries through to your non-sit and non-practice time (mindfulness). The goal is for mindfulness to ultimately permeate all aspects of your life.
Why is mindfulness so important? It's best you discover that answer for yourself. You can do so by watching your mind for the rest of the day and answering these questions:
If you are like the rest of us, you will find your mind keeps you anywhere but here and now.
When you cultivate mindfulness, you ground yourself in the present moment. You spend less time regretting, worrying, and fearing. You spend less time stressed. Instead, you focus your attention on what's happening right here and now: walking, talking to a friend, eating, washing dishes, playing with your dog, et cetera.
Whatever you are doing, you are present with it.
And, the more time you spend in the present, the more you realize that happiness, peace, and contentment isn't something you find "out there." To the contrary, it is here and now – mindfulness helps you uncover it.
"Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now. And that's a revelation for some people: to realize that your life is only ever now." - Eckhart Tolle
"If your happiness lies on the other side of some future event, you will never find it. Happiness exists when you fully understand that the only time you can live your life is now." - meditationSHIFT
Getting it done.
Mindfulness and meditation have been shown to deliver numerous benefits. But, to realize those benefits, you need to develop a consistent practice.
You need to have dedicated time to meditate – we recommend a minimum of 15 minutes, two times every day. You can work your way up to that, but you need to have the discipline, patience, and persistence to do it. That's where your overall view is important.
If you look at this as just another chore, or a task to put on your "to-do list," you are setting yourself up for failure.
Instead, view meditation as the path to mindfulness, and mindfulness in your daily life as the ultimate goal. In doing so, you will realize it's a way of being, not another appointment you need to schedule.
Stop following your mind wherever it leads.
If this article resonated with you, learn about our course - "How to change your relationship with your mind."
It's a structured program that helps you realize the scientifically-proven benefits of mindfulness and meditation.
And, it's been proven effective over the past 12 years by tens of thousands of people around the world.

For Sale: Mobile Brick Oven Wood Fired
1 Attachment(s)
I have a Modina 120 mounted on a trailer. I purchased it back in April and have used it at numerous events, festivals, catering and non-profit. It has turned out better than I anticipated, the FB oven is a real workhorse. I truly love this oven.
Now, I am looking at the next stage of my business and believe it will involve a fully enclosed trailer. At this point, I do not really need two ovens and am kicking around selling it.
The trailer is 15' long, has two torsion axles with electric brakes. The overall set up will weigh just under 5000 lbs., so you will want to consider a F150 or 1500 series vehicle for towing (1/2 ton). I have had it out often since spring, but we are only talking 6 months, so the tires are still have a lot of miles remaining on them. There is a large, open storage area in front of the oven (the mouth of the oven faces to the rear). I use that area for wood, coolers, metal racks, tools, etc.
My oven is very well built. I used a builder in NC who was building fire brick ovens. The Modena is 4" thick. Above the oven is a thick layer of perlite and below is 5" of concrete. Once you bring it up to temperature (700 on the floor) and keep it there for a few hours, you have enough retained heat to cook for the next two days as long as you keep the door shut. I have the regular FB door as well as a travel door that bolts in place.
This is a great opportunity for someone considering getting into the business as I have or for a pizzeria who wants to begin offering catering services. The latter will likely not need help, but if you are just starting out, I will be happy to help you in any way I can. There are mistakes I have made, events that I have gotten into, etc. that I will help you not make. There are some key items that will make your life much easier.
I live in N. GA, just south of Chattanooga, TN. I am willing to travel to meet you or even bring the oven to you. We would need to work out a charge for delivery.
I am asking $14000 for my set up.
Re: For Sale: Mobile Brick Oven Wood Fired
Hey Bob is the oven still for sale?
Re: For Sale: Mobile Brick Oven Wood Fired
Yes, I still have my oven, it is parked securely in my garage out of the weather.
Now that my season is over, I have had the opportunity to re-evaluate my 2012 season. I am very nearly too late to order an enclosed pizza trailer to be built. If I sell my oven now, I will spend part of my season without the ability to sell pizza. This is far from where I want to be, but life does not always work the way we expect it to.
As I was putting away for winter storage all my tools and equipment, I realized that with the enclosed trailer there will be many things I will no longer need. I have racks, a water stand (all AL, so they are light and won't rust). I have 6 of the 150 qt. Igloo coolers, certainly I won't need all these. I have several tables, more peels than I need. A prep tent with a new net - but with a season of heavy use. Probably some other tools/equipment too that I will toss in with the sale. Plus the knowledge that I have gained in 2011. I will help you get up and over any learning curve that may exist.
So, although it may not be great timing for me, let's talk.
Re: For Sale: Mobile Brick Oven Wood Fired
What is missing from your current oven set up that prompted your decision to move up to a different kind of trailer? Is it because you ned to produce a higher volume of pizzas or is it about health department regulations?
I'm just standing on the threshold of beginning a business so I'm trying to gather as much information from people who have been there and done it.
Re: For Sale: Mobile Brick Oven Wood Fired
Great question Mike. I will help anyway I can.
You nailed two of my biggest points. Everytime I look at my oven, I want to get it out and work it. We have a great product (I can show you what we do and you can make it your own) and have been praised over and over for the quality of our pizzas. The problem is that I can not put us in front of potential customers often enough. Legally, to be out daily, I have to be in an enclosed trailer.
Also, I need to be enclosed to make better use of a food warmer so that we can serve slices in high volume circumstances. Often I have been questioned, "how many pizzas can you get in your oven?" It's the wrong question. The question should be, "how many pizzas can you make?" The oven screams at 700+ degrees on the floor. You are going to cook a pizza in 90 - 120 seconds, even quicker if you have it hotter. The problem with hotter is that you can lose control very quickly. The oven becomes less and less forgiving as your temp increases. If I have 3 people building (who know how to do it), we might be able to out run the oven, but it is not an easy task.
Sounds like you are where I was a year ago. I knew how to cook pizza, but that was about it. I will help you if you feel like there is a learning curve that you need to get up and over. Ultimately, doing it is how you will get over that. But I can certainly help you to not make some of the mistakes I made.
Re: For Sale: Mobile Brick Oven Wood Fired
Thanks for the information I appreciate your candor and your willingness to help a newbie.
Re: For Sale: Mobile Brick Oven Wood Fired
You're welcome Mike. There aren't a lot of people out there giving information, especially for free. I need to sell my oven in order to be able to buy the enclosed trailer, that is a fact. But I love making pizza and talking about the business - best said, I love the reaction when the customer orders, then watches you build, then stares at their pizza in the oven. When it comes out and they get a smell from it and their mouth starts watering. Ultimately, you hand them the box, they open it and take a bite....their eyes roll back in their head and this gutteral grown comes from their throat. They open their eyes and this great big grin spreads across their face. This is usually followed by something like, "man, that is really good!"
I'm not sure how old you are or what sort of work experience you have, but let me tell you, you can't buy that sort of job satisfaction!
One point on working from a tent that I will miss very much. It gives you the chance to be a show man. The kids (and adults) love it when you are working the dough and you toss it up in the air. They also enjoy just watching you build their pizza. The tent is like a fish bowl and I have to admit, that's fun.
Fun is well and good, but we have to be profitable don't we? So, I will give up that part of the fun as the enclosed trailer will be my primary source of income. We were out somewhere around 40 times in 2011. These events ranged from 4 hours to 4 days. At some events, the money was great. At others...there was that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach on the way home that said, "I just worked (and worked my family) that hard, that long and out in that weather for $X?" I will help you find events to go to where you have a greater chance of avoiding that feeling. Sometimes you won't be able to help it, so just always be prepared to be disappointed - that makes the good ones that much better. But the heat of summer will come and there will be storms that will drive the people away.
Feel free to look at my pictures on my Facebook page, they will give you an idea of how truly versatile the oven is (let me know if this link doesn't get you there):
Re: For Sale: Mobile Brick Oven Wood Fired
The FB link wouldn't work for me.
Sounds like panning for gold. Sometimes there's a nugget and sometimes it's just dirt. Success is experiential. I too want my family involved. I want my two kids to understand the value of a dollar, what work really is and how it can be rewarding and to also give them a different take on the things life has (and occasionally doesn't have) to offer.
I was in the business until 10 years ago. Feels like it's time to get back in it.
I would like to take a drive to take a look at your rig. I'm pretty busy through the first of the year. A road trip might be a great way to get 2012 off to a good start.
Re: For Sale: Mobile Brick Oven Wood Fired
Seems that the forum changed the link, not sure how to do it differently. Do a search on FB for Bob Watts. There are a bunch of us on there. My icon/picture is of a fire in my oven. Try this to see if it works:
First Fire | Facebook
Yes, the first of the year would be fine. I would welcome the opportunity to speak to you in person and in front of a scorching hot wood fired oven with a pizza about to go in!
My children are 11 (girl) and 15 (boy - soon to be a man). I realized a few years ago what a short time I had left with them, especially my son. I wanted to give them a gift, but a gift that was signficant. One that taught them about the true meaning of life - of why we are here and what we can accomplish during our brief stay in this life.
We have a shelter in Chattanooga, TN (about 20 miles away) that we go monthly and cook for. These are women and children who were homeless. I wanted my children to see what real need looks like in this country. My kids THINK they live in need. I wanted to give them a glimpse of what need really looked like. At the vast majority of our events, we have seen people who wanted a pizza, but you could tell they simply didn't feel like they could afford it. After a while, you begin getting a sense for it. When we first started, I decided that we would never turn someone away because of a lack of money. To my knowledge, we have remained true to that commitment. I want to encourage you and anyone else reading this to make a similar commitment. Yes, we have to be profitable to stay, but I sold my soul in business years ago and ultimately saw nothing but spiritual death. You will find that with a wood fired oven, Life and community spring up where none previously existed. It is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen - people are drawn to it. You have the opportunity to have an impact on people who you never knew before and will likely never see again. It is that, this Life, that is the gift I am giving my children.
My son runs the oven - and does a fine job with it. My daughter is still young, but this is allowing her to see how when she works, it benefits the team as a whole. She builds pizzas with me. My wife handles the 'front end' with taking orders, handling drinks, collecting money. During a crush, it is plain to see that if there is a break down any where, we all fail. But, when we work as a team, we all succeed. Always as a team.
I have paid both kids through out 2011. My son has bought several things, he's an outdoors man. My daughter bought herself one of the new Kindle Fires. They understand that they have done this with THEIR money. You are exactly correct, it is an amazing teaching tool.
I say all that because of your 'gold' comments. It goes to the core reason we do what we do. It is always the WHY that makes all the difference when it seems we are panning more dirt than gold. It is this why, this purpose will see you through to the next event where there is once more a chance for that gold nugget!
This is a lot of work. Pizza, made from scratch right in front of your customers, is seriously labor intensive. I would be negilgent if I did not tell you that up front. But it is immensely satisfying too, on many different levels.
Re: For Sale: Mobile Brick Oven Wood Fired
No matter what happens Bob, whether your oven is available or not after the first of the year I'm driving to Georgia to meet you and to shake your hand.
Our philosophies are very much the same. Merry Christmas to you and to your family.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Gemma Charles, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Tuesday, 04 September 2012 05:45PM
Pernod said the drink has been developed by sensory experts and bartenders to "balance the characteristically light, refreshing and smooth coconut taste of Malibu with the rich characteristics of premium tequila and its signature fiery finish".
The launch of the innovation is being spearheaded by R&B singer-songwriter and newly appointed Malibu Red creative director, Ne-Yo. The artist has produced an exclusive track, 'Burning Up' and will also appear on the brand's UK advertising.
Fans can download the track by visiting the Malibu UK Facebook page and the brand is set to unveil details of guest appearances from Ne-Yo and exclusive content in the near future.
An ad campaign will run across consumer lifestyle publications and retailer websites using the strapline "Taste the smooth feel the fire".
On-trade support includes point-of-sale kits while for the off-trade, the launch will be supported with in-store activity such as recipe neck collars.
Patrick Venning, marketing director at Pernod Ricard UK, said: "Malibu Red brings something totally new and unique to the mixable spirits category.
"The association with Ne-Yo is sure to bring this exciting innovation alive for our consumers."

23 year old man | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking women 21-28 within 15 miles
Currently I'm a Senior getting my undergrad...
Currently I'm a Senior getting my undergrad degrees in real estate & construction management and finance at the University of Denver. I plan on starting my own real estate development company once, I've finished my undergrad and possibly my masters. I like to be outdoors and love to hit the slopes during ski season, which I've gotten into since moving to Colorado. I've played ice hockey since age 7 and I really enjoy watching the Pioneers hockey games on campus, even though we have choked recently. In the summer I enjoy exploring the mountains, camping, fishing and hiking. I enjoy technology and imagining where things could be in the next couple years. I'm constantly upgrading my phone to have the latest and greatest. I love to travel and have been on a lot of amazing vacations over the years. Can't wait to travel Europe next summer by river cruise. Some of my favorite trips have been to Italy, France, Spain, but the Cayman Islands (7 mile beach) has the softest sand. I can think of few places I would not enjoy seeing again - or for the first time - and hope to keep traveling often. I'd say I'm a caring, honest, and generally all around nice guy but get to know me better and find out for yourself! I'm looking for a woman who is honest, caring, and likes to share laughs. Someone who likes me for who I am and has high hopes for the future. Some shared interests like skiing/snowboarding or hiking/camping would be great, too. Send me a message and lets get to know one another.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Fishing/Hunting , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Political interests , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Golf, Hockey, Other types of exercise, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
I've got brother and sister chocolate and yellow labs back home, named Hershey and Maisy after Hershey's chocolate and maize(corn).
My favorite place to travel for warmth would have to be the Grand Cayman Islands their "7 Mile Beach" just blows me away. My favorite cold place Big Ski Resort in Montana. Lake of the Ozarks,MO and Jupiter,FL are great yearly family trips.
University of Denver, Denver, CO
I'm not a picky eater at all, but Mexican, good pizza, and hibachi grills are a few favorites. Music-wise I'm not picky either and enjoy most anything except for screamo. I like to watch documentaries, TV shows and movies mainly on Netflix.
I really like to go skiing during the winter. During the summer I love to be outdoors golfing, camping and fishing. I used to play hockey, football, tennis and basketball in high-school. I enjoy playing intramural sports at school and hockey.
Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever- Was the last book I read for entertainment before school started. Unfortunately, I don't read a whole lot of books other than textbooks during the quarter.

Go Daddy has signed an outside agency to produce its two Super Bowl spots for the first time, and it remains to be seen if Danica Patrick will be part of the ads. The company said Thursday it strongly supports the popular NASCAR driver, even if the ad campaign by Deutsch Inc. winds up not including Patrick. Chief Marketing Officer Barb Rechterman tells The Associated Press that Go Daddy is looking for fresh ideas from Deutsch. The world's largest Web hosting provider has produced its own Super Bowl ads since 2005. Patrick has been featured in the spots since 2007, her first year as spokeswoman for Go Daddy. Her 10 Super Bowl ads are more than any other celebrity, and she's done 22 commercials in all for Go Daddy.

Love will never condemn you for being lost, but love will not let you stay there alone, and it will not force you to come out of hiding
Hi, My name is Kyle and i like to laugh. I am a pretty silly guy i find that the key to being happy is not taking life to seriously. I am looking for someone to cut up with and to just be my best friend. I am honest and loyal and will tell you exactly what is on my mind. I am looking for the same..I have a little boy his name is Abram, a.k.a. Boog he is amazing and my little ray of sunshine in this sometimes dark world. Abram was staying with me Sunday night and I had just laid him down in bed, I went downstairs to get ready for the morning and when I went back upstairs he had went in my room and laid socks and shoes out for me in the morning, it is stuff like that, the little things that make me want to be a better man.. so i am sorry for rambling but i have no idea what to say on these things :) and i will leave you with a parting thought.. The arrival of the unforeseen reveals the depths of one's heart. A small ambiguity, the exposure of a tiny lie, an extra bit of the twenty-first chromosome, the replacement of the imagination or ideal by the real, almost anything unexpected can cause life's wheels to lock up and the facade of control to reveal its inherent arrogance....boom goes the dynamite :)

11. Alamo
Texas 31, Oregon State 27
Texas never had the lead until late as David Ash connected with Marquise Goodwin for a 36-yard touchdown with just over two minutes to play. Goodwin also had a 64-yard touchdown dash in the first. The defense that had be problems in the first half clamped down in the second, led by the pass rush of Alex Okafor on the outside, keeping the Beavers to just seven points after halftime. Ash struggled early but found a groove running for an 11-yard score in the third and throwing two touchdown passes in the fourth, while three Beaver turnovers and too many stalled drives kept the Longhorns alive. Storm Woods ran for two touchdowns for OSU and Trevor Romaine nailed two field goals.

10. Little Caesars
Central Michigan 24, Western Kentucky 21
Oh those interim head coaches. Western Kentucky had a shot to tie the game late to put it into overtime on a 36-yard field goal attempt, but instead, interim head man Lance Guidry decided to go for it on 4th-and-two with under a minute to play. QB Kawaun Jakes misfired on his throw, and CMU came away with the win. Zurlon Tipton ran for 102 yards for the Chippewas, but it was Andrew Flory who made big things happen early with a 69-yard touchdown catch and a 29-yard pass play in the first quarter. WKU got a touchdown run and a scoring pass from Jakes, and Kadeem Jones gave the team the lead on a one-yard scoring run for a Hilltopper lead late in the third, but Ryan Radcliff marched CMU late with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Cody Wilson and the D held on.

9. MAACO Las Vegas
Boise State 28, Washington 26
Michael Frisina hit a 27-yard field goal with just over a minute to play, and Jeremy Ioane sealed the victory with a pick to give Boise State its second straight Las Vegas Bowl win. The Broncos held the lead for most of the game until Travis Coons pushed Washington ahead by one with just over four minutes to play. Boise State appeared to have the game in hand early with Holden Huff scoring on a 34-yard pass from receiver Chris Potter, and Geraldo Boldewijn catching a 16-yard touchdown pass for an 18-3 lead, but Bishop Sankey led the Huskies back with a 26-yard touchdown run and Keith Price ran for a seven-yard score and threw a six-yard scoring pass to Austin Seferian-Jenkins.

8. Belk
Cincinnati 48, Duke 34
Duke had two great chances to all but put the game away – once in each half – and blew it both times with disastrous results. With the game tied at 34 with under four minutes to play, the Blue Devils had the ball at the Cincinnati five, but Josh Snead fumbled it away. Three plays later, the Bearcats got an 83-yard touchdown pass from Brendon Key to Travis Kelce for a score with just 44 seconds to play. Duke had one last chance and was on the march, but a huge sack popped the ball into the air and into the hands of Nick Temple, who took it 55 yards for a score. The touchdown ended a wild and entertaining game with Duke getting up early and having a shot to push the lead to 23-3, but a fumble at the one gave the Bearcats life, and they took advantage with a 27-point run to seemingly take control. But the Blue Devils didn't give up with two touchdown passes and a 52-yard field goal from Ross Martin making it 34-34 until Duke's ill-fated finish.

Northwestern 34, Mississippi State 20
Northwestern ended its long bowl drought by getting up 13-0 and turning it back on in the second half following an MSU comeback. The Wildcats came up with four takeaways, but wasn't able to put the game away early, settling for two Jeff Budzein field goals along with a 29-yard Quentin Williams interception return for a score. The Bulldogs came back to tie it in the third quarter at 13 with two Devon Bell field goals and an 18-yard Arceto Clark touchdown catch, but the Wildcats answered with short scoring runs from Tyris Jones, Trevor Siemian, and after MSU pulled to within seven on a 14-yard Malcolm Johnson touchdown catch, a three-yard Venric Mark scoring run.
Northwestern: QB Trevor Siemian completed 12-of-20 passes for 120 yards and a pick. … QB Kain Colter completed 9-of-16 passes for 76 yards and two interceptions, and he ran 11 times for 71 yards. … S Jared Carpenter made ten tackles. … DE Quentin Williams made two tackles with a sack, two tackles for loss, and a 29-yad pick six. … The offense converted 10-of-19 third down chances and committed only two penalties.

6. Buffalo Wild Wings
Michigan State 17, TCU 16
Led by a reserve quarterback, Michigan State marched 45 yards in eight plays, culminating in a 47-yard Dan Conroy field goal with 61 seconds remaining for the win. The MSU offense did next to nothing in the first half, but the defense was able to keep the game close allowing a Matthew Tucker four-yard touchdown run in the first and two Jaden Oberkron field goals in the second. The Spartan coaching staff decided to give backup quarterback Connor Cook more time, and the move paid off with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Burbridge finally putting points on the board late in the third. A TCU turnover led to a Le'Veon Bell four-yard touchdown run and a 14-13 lead, but the Horned Frogs would rally getting a 53-yard Oberkron field goal with just under three minutes to play. It was just enough time for Cook and MSU to pull out the win.
Michigan State: The Spartan quarterbacks completed 11-of-27 passes for 104 yards. Andrew Maxwell completed 6-of-15 passes for 28 yards, while Connor Cook complete 4-of-11 passes for 47 yards and a score. … RB Le'Veon Bell ran 32 times for 145 yards and a touchdown, caught two passes for 13 yards, and completed a pass for 29 yards. … P Mike Sadler averaged 43.7 yards per kick on his 11 punts, putting three inside the 20. … DE William Gholston made nine tackles with a sack.

5. Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO
Stanford 20, Wisconsin 14
Despite the return of Barry Alvarez to the sidelines, it was another year, another tough loss for Wisconsin and the Big Ten in Pasadena. Stanford looked like it was on its way to a rout with 14 first quarter points on a 16-yard Kelsey Young run and a three-yard score from Stepfan Taylor, set up by long pass plays, but the Badgers battled back with Montee Ball running it in from 11 yards out early in the second. Despite being denied on a fourth-and-goal from the one, they managed to use the field position to set up a touchdown with Jordan Fredrick's four-yard touchdown catch with just 11 seconds to play at the end of the first half. But that was it for the Wisconsin scoring as both defenses clamped down in the second half. Jordan Williamson gave the Cardinal a six point lead on his second field goal of the game late in the fourth, but Wisconsin came back with a promising drive, only to be stopped on the only turnover of the game – an interception by Usua Amanam. Stanford was able to run out the clock.
Stanford: QB Kevin Hogan completed 12-of-19 passes for 123 yards and ran seven times for 54 yards. … RB Stepfan Taylor was held to 88 yards and a score on 20 carries. … SS Jordan Richards made seven tackles with a sack and two tackles for loss. … The Cardinal averaged 7.9 yards per pass. Wisconsin only averaged 4.9.
Wisconsin: The Badgers outgained Stanford 218 rushing yards to 187, but only threw for 83 yards. .. 3rd down conversions: 7-of-14. … QB Curt Phillips completed 10-of-16 passes for 83 yards and a score with a pick. … RB Montee Ball ran 24 times for 100 yards and a score. … LB Chris Borland made nine tackles

Lumicycle Elite 26 LED 3Si £200.00
Top-notch construction, great performance, intuitive controls and good battery life make the LED3Si an excellent light. It's impressive value for money, too.

Lumicycle's LED3Si is an excellent light that's impressive value for money. It's very similar to Lumicycle's flagship LED4Si road light but with just three emitters instead of four. Entirely unsurprisingly, that makes the claimed output three-quarters that of the 4Si at 850 lumens. Also unsurprising is that the battery lasts longer, with three hours on the highest-power mode.
The CNC machined, finned and black anodised lamp unit is exactly the same as the 4Si, just with three emitters in it. You also get the 'glow ring' around the lens that diffuses some light out sideways to help other road users see you from the sides, and the 'eyebrow' on top so you don't get dazzled by your own light when riding out of the saddle.
Also the same is the bar clamp, a hinged design with a cam-action locking lever. It's adjustable for different bar diameters using an extra link that can be fitted to the hinge, which works well once it's fitted but makes swapping between bars of different sizes somewhat fiddly. The clamp gives you some side-to-side angle adjustment if you find you have to mount it well off centre.
As with the 3Si, the 2.6Ah battery lives in a small Cordura pouch with a Velcro strap and is small enough to lurk beneath the stem to minimise cable runs. It plugs in to a conventional power jack socket on the back of the lamp unit.
I very much appreciated the control system on the 4Si and, thankfully, it carries over unchanged to the 3. A momentary-action up/down toggle swich gives you more light if you flick it up and less if you flick it down. There are five modes in total, with the usual low, medium and high being supplemented by a full-bore 'Smart Boost' mode and a flash setting.
With the same electronics as the 4Si, the 3 has all the same clever power management features – Smart Boost only runs for three minutes if you flick into it, but a long upward switch from High mode locks it into Boost until the lamp overheats or the battery gets low. The single LED, indicating power and battery status, is unchanged too.
With one fewer emitters than the 4Si I found I was making a little more use of the High setting, although Medium is still good on unlit roads. The fairly directional beam pattern helps to make the most of the power. Even with more bursts of high, though, I was getting better run times on the 3 than on the 4, and at £200 (£75 less than the 4) it's very good value for money. If you need more run time, another £40 gets you a 5.2Ah battery which doubles everything.
Top-notch construction, great performance, intuitive controls and good battery life make the LED3Si an excellent light. It's impressive value for money, too.
road.cc test report
Make and model: Lumicycle Elite 26 LED 3Si
Size tested: Black
Tell us what the light is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Lumicycle pitch the 3Si as a road/commuter light that can also be used off-road. With a fairly tight beam and the side visibility from the glow ring, it meets that brief well.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the light?
Four LED emitters are housed in a rather lovely CNC-machined alloy housing that's generously endowed with cooling fins. A translucent bezel at the front passes some light to the sides to help other people see you, and an "eyebrow" on top prevents any light spill upwards that might dazzle you while riding. At the back there's the power socket, status LED and a rubberised toggle switch. The test system had a 2.6Ah Li-ion battery -- there's a 5.2Ah unit available if you need more run time.
The LED3Si is beautifully made and finished. The lamp housing is CNC-machined aluminium, anodised black. The bezel is secured by four tiny Torx bolts and everything's weather-sealed. The battery lives inside a simple Cordura bag with a Velcro strap to attach it to your frame or stem.
Lumicycle uses a very intuitive control system on its LED lights. Rather than a push button, there's an up/down toggle switch. Hold it up to switch on, and then flicking it down switches to a lower output and flicking it up switches to a higher one. It's slightly complicated by the presence of a flashing mode (long press down from off) and the Smart Boost extra-high-output mode (which turns itself down after three minutes unless you lock it with another long up press) but fundamentally it's an excellent system. The LED uses a mix of colours and flashes to communicate both power level and battery state, if you can remember what means what.
The clamp is the common hinged, cam-lock design, with rubber pads to aid grip. Oversize bars are accommodated by adding an extra link in the hinge, which works well once done but is somewhat more fiddly than swapping rubber pads around.
No problems during the test, although the power connector is a standard jack with no particular extra protection. There's no reason to expect any issues unless you start pulling the plug out in torrential rain, but there are lights out there with more overt seals around the connector.
Claimed run times range from 43 hours on low to 3 on Boost, and the light gets close enough to that to make no odds in the real world. The light comes with a smart charger that cuts off when the battery's fully charged, which takes about three hours from flat.
It's not as bright as the 4Si, but 850 lumens is still a healthy output and the extra battery life is worthwhile.
I've been using this one for a while now and nothing has gone wrong.
At 385g for lamp and battery the 3Si doesn't have class-leading weight, but you get very solid construction and it's hardly portly.
For my money the 3Si is better value than the 4Si -- you save £75 but still get ample light for most purposes, with extra battery life. If you spend a lot of time on very dark roads you might want to opt for the 4, though. At £200 the 3Si is very good value.
Tell us how the light performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Excellent -- there are more powerful lights out there on paper, but the Lumicycle is definitely powerful enough. The beam strikes a good balance between spread and penetration.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the light
The up/down toggle switch is brilliant -- it's easy to find in the dark and it's very intuitive.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the light
Self-contained lights are always going to be neater than having wires and battery bags dangling off the bike, and changing the clamp between standard and OS bars is a bit of a faff.
Did you enjoy using the light? Yes.
Would you consider buying the light? Yes.
Would you recommend the light to a friend? Yes.
Anything further to say about the light in conclusion?
Lumicycle doesn't seem to be as well known as Exposure, but its products are every bit as good (and in some respects better) if you don't mind plug-in battery packs. Excellent.
About the tester
Age: 38
I usually ride: Whichever's nearest the door
I've been riding for: Over 20 years I ride: Most days I would class myself as: Expert
I regularly do the following types of riding: cyclo cross, sportives, general fitness riding, fixed/singlespeed, mtb, Track; to the shops; with the kids
I've had one of these for a few months after my old Knog 605 finally succumbed to one too many gaffa tape and soldering iron repairs.
It really is an excellent bit of kit. Training rides out into the Hearts lanes on winter evenings were mainly covered by the medium setting, only really needing high or boost for descents or really bad road surfaces (or just for the hell of it to see how bright it gets)

I've been toying between this and the Apex - also 3 emitters but wider beam and more power. The Lumen/Watt is a lot healthier. The Apex on Mid setting matches this on High but will last longer! Do I need the extra power and will the wide beam cause problems to other road users?

After watching his team post its worst record in 22 years the previous season, George Steinbrenner seriously considered bringing back Billy Martin for a sixth tour of duty in 1990. However, the Yankee owner's flirtation with the idea ended sadly on Christmas Day when Martin died in a car crash while returning home from a day of drinking. Martin's death brought to an end the love-hate relationship between the two men, whose professional and personal affiliation through the years very much resembled a soap opera.
With no one else to turn to, Steinbrenner decided to retain the services of Bucky Dent, even though New York posted a record of only 18-22 under him after he replaced Dallas Green as the team's skipper the previous year. Dent's tenure in New York didn't last very long, though. Dissatisfied with the 18-31 start the Yankees got off to in 1990, Steinbrenner replaced the former shortstop with Stump Merrill, who managed and coached in the Yankee organization for more than a decade before getting his first chance to manage at the major-league level. Unfortunately, New York fared no better under Merrill, posting a record of only 49-64 under him the remainder of the year. The Yankees finished the season with an overall record of 67-95, in last place in the A.L. East, 21 games behind the division-winning Red Sox. New York's .414 winning percentage was the lowest compiled by the team since 1913 – the year that the franchise changed its name from the Highlanders to the Yankees.
The Yankees not only embarrassed themselves on the field in 1990, but George Steinbrenner brought humiliation to his organization off the diamond as well. After feuding with star outfielder Dave Winfield throughout most of the 1980s, Steinbrenner reached an all-time low by consorting with known gambler Howie Spira in an effort to dig up embarrassing information on Winfield. Upon learning that the Yankee owner paid Spira $40,000 to supply him with evidence that might damage
Winfield's reputation, baseball commissioner Fay Vincent banned Steinbrenner for life from running the Yankees. However, the suspension ended up lasting only two years.
In the meantime, Steinbrenner finally got his wish to rid his team of Winfield's services. After missing the entire 1989 campaign with an injured back, Winfield agreed to accept a trade to the California Angels on May 11 that netted the Yankees pitcher Mike Witt. The deal turned out to be a poor one for New York, though, since Witt finished the campaign with a record of only 5-6 and an ERA of 4.47. Meanwhile, Winfield won Comeback Player of the Year honors with California, had four more productive years, and earned a world championship ring as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays in 1992.
The Yankees truly reached their nadir in 1990, performing poorly in virtually every aspect of the game. Relief pitcher Lee Guetterman led the staff with only 11 victories. Even though he earned All-Star honors for the second straight year, Steve Sax batted just .260 and scored only 70 runs, although he did lead the team with 43 stolen bases. Forced to spend almost two months on the disabled list due to a bad back, Don Mattingly had the worst season of his career. The former A.L. MVP hit only five home runs, knocked in just 42 runs, and batted only .256. No one exemplified New York's futility more than pitcher Andy Hawkins, who lost a 4-0 decision at Chicago on July 1 despite pitching a no-hitter.
The lone bright spots on the team were Roberto Kelly and Kevin Maas. Taking over as New York's starting centerfielder, Kelly hit 15 home runs, drove in 61 runs, stole 42 bases, and led the club with 85 runs scored, 183 hits, 32 doubles, and a .285 batting average. After being called up from the minor leagues at the end of June, Maas hit 21 home runs and knocked in 41 runs, in only 254 official at-bats.By Bob_Cohen
