Yep. So. I'm a little late blogging about this.
But I am super stoked to say that I got in the Nike Women's Inaugural Half in DC. The date is April 28th,2013 and I plan to make this my best half yet. I want to PR this course. The best thing? I get to run it with my Internet bestie, Molly!!
A lot different from RNR DC and I am super excited. I was worried the courses would be similar, but this one totally rocks!
Did anyone else get in? Are you as excited as I am?!

Well, with three kids, it isn't really lazing … more like dunking and throwing. Now it's a crisp 34 degrees outside and the holiday shopping madness is kicking in and I am sure everyone is already getting spammed with pre-Black Friday deals. In addition to being reflective and thankful this time of year, I also can't help but try and sneak a peek into the coming year. No, no, this is not going to be a blog about predictions regarding product releas (IT news)

Steadily building their Wilmington-based printing business—The Mercantile Press— over a period spanning three centuries, the Bye family weathered its share of business unpredictability. But, by the 1960's, The Mercantile Press had proven it was "here to stay," running two shifts daily and providing its full stable of employees with living wages, full benefits, and steady work in a well-respected trade. The firm had proven its mettle and reached its all-time growth peak just in time to face the industry-wrenching challenges of the coming decades.
The advent of the internet and increased competition from cut-rate overseas commercial printing operations would bring the American commercial printing industry to its knees, mercilessly thinning its ranks as once-reliable customers all but evaporated, favoring online communication or cheaper foreign labor over stateside traditional print shops. Surviving commercial printers were competing for an ever-shrinking customer base, and profitability in this harsh new business landscape required new perspectives and new strategies. For The Mercantile Press, one of the few Delaware-based commercial printers to survive into this new era, that meant forging a new partnership – a partnership with SCORE Delaware. Together with SCORE – an SBA-backed small business advisement organization – Mercantile Press President Coleman Bye, III, identified new markets prime for his firm's services and tailored his print shop to land that lucrative business, firmly reclaiming control over the firm's future.
From Humble Beginnings
In 1871, Mercantile Press' founder Harry Bye, broke into the printing business at the age of 12 when he invested $7.00 in a crude printing outfit and began publishing a monthly paper called "Youth's Banner" with a subscription price of $0.10 per year. Thirteen years later, in 1884, Harry and his brother, Elmer, purchased some used printing equipment and founded The Mercantile Press in the city of Wilmington, Delaware.
Over the ensuing generations, The Mercantile Press built a strong customer base deeply rooted in the agricultural, chemical and pharmaceutical industries that grew to dominate Delaware's economy. The Mercantile Press was thriving, growing into a two-shift operation and employing nearly 50 skilled print tradesmen.
A Whole New World
But by December 2001, when The Mercantile Press' current President, Coleman E. Bye, III ("Corky"), took the business' helm, everything had changed. Six months before, one of The Mercantile Press' largest customers had moved its manufacturing overseas, taking with it more than 20% of the firm's annual sales. Undaunted, the company re-tooled, adding the political direct mail business to its roster of client industries and stabilizing its bottom line.
Until the Great Recession of 2008 dealt the entire commercial printing industry a devastating blow.
The Eye of the Storm
By the end of 2009, The Mercantile Press' sales had fallen 29% compared to the previous year. While better than the printing industry average decline of 33%, these sales figures cast a shadow of uncertainty on the company's future. Surviving this crisis would take leadership, innovation, and a healthy dose of business savvy.
With SCORE's help, Coleman and his Mercantile Press team were up to the challenge.
The Road to Recovery
By 2010, Coleman had his company on the recovery track. In 2009, he landed a promising federal government purchasing agreement, paving the way for a new and lucrative business stream. That year, Coleman's new market growth strategy expanded as he identified the label market as having great potential and approached SCORE Delaware to help him develop a business plan to tap into it.
Together with his SCORE Delaware counselor, Robert O'Brien, Coleman drafted a Strategic Business Plan, along with a Business Case that would guide The Mercantile Press' way to recovery. The company's new plan re-focused its business strategy on new markets innately insulated from the online and overseas outsourcing trends seducing Mercantile's traditional customer base. The new plan provided a step-by-step roadmap to sustainable growth, and it wasn't long before a new trickle of customers had grown into a healthy stream.
Thanks to the vision and perseverance of its President, Coleman Bye, and some strategic perspective from SCORE Delaware, The Mercantile Press had reclaimed its future and was, once again, "here to stay."
Today, The Mercantile Press is the oldest printing company in the State of Delaware. The company is a full-service print communications company specializing in product labeling, direct mail printing and packaging.

- Yes
- The patches in that section are optional. With or without will work fine, which is why I leave it up to you.
- 222/223:
Uninstall these revisions using DOP-Mii and reinstall using Hermes installer. Revision should read no higher than v5.
- IOS61: This is an older revision. Update to v5405.

"I think that the Wii is a beautiful piece of hardware, and a broken Wii is a tragedy. It doesnt matter why or how." -- Bushing
Ithian, awesome! I hope you can forgive me in advance if my questions never end, or when I ask dumb questions like NTSC-K, which I now understand.
For Priiloader installation, I would need to install a patched IOS60 (http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...preloader.html). I'm worried about doing this. Is this ok, with the versions of IOS that I'm currently having? Any possibility of bricking my Wii from Priiloader installation? I have just got Wad Manager 1.5 Mod3 HBC Version (http://www.wiihacks.com/homebrew/200...d-manager.html), and will be using this to install all WADs.
Also, after I install IOS60 in [3c], would I also need to re-install Priiloader since it overwrites the patched IOS60 from Priiloader installation, or this is fixed by installing IOS70v54321(IOS60-patched).wad from [4]?
After [4], I'll proceed to update the 4 additional IOS I mentioned (IOS249 v15, IOS223 v65535, IOS222 v65535, and IOS61 v4890) as below, or can i proceed to update them before I start with your cIOSCORP uninstall guide? Is there also any particular order of IOS to install or they are not dependent?
For cIOS38Rev17, I'll be using Complete Package (http://www.wiihacks.com/member-submi...-released.html).
For 222/223, I'll be using (http://www.wiihacks.com/wii-custom-s...-released.html). The steps mentioned are:
1. Start HomeBrew Channel and start the cIOS 222 Installer
2. Read the warning message and push A
3. Select IOS249 to perform the install with D-pad left/right and push A
4. Select to Install Custom IOS 222 and select IOS38 merged with IOS37
5. Wait for download and installation to complete
6. Start HomeBrew Channel and start the cIOS 222 Installer again
7. Select IOS249 to perform the install again
8. This time select Custom IOS 223 and select IOS38 merged with IOS60
9. Finally, use IOS249 to perform install again.
10. Select Custom IOS 224 and use IOS57 as base.
*IOS223 gives you an alternative option for merged IOS in this way. It is exactly the same as IOS222 otherwise.
*Experiment with other merges or not merging at all if neither of the options provided here work for you
Do i proceed with step 1-10 or just 1-8?
For IOS61 v5405 (http://www.wiihacks.com/homebrew-dow...installer.html). Ok to use this? Need to get going real soon now so guess i'll try to search for more links later.
I tried CB2_BB_SysCheck_1.6.1.zip [5], copying all to my SD card, but i don't see the app appearing on my HBC. Any idea why is that? I also tried just copying the SysCheck 1.6.1 folder into apps folder of my SD card, and it still didn't work.
Edit: Got SysCheck 1.6.1 (Download sysCheck161.rar, upload your files and earn money.) and works. Report generated:

Thanks and noted. Will be doing it tonight and will post updates.
Definately a much needed guide. Well done Ithian, your on fire!
Hi Ithian,
01 and 02 completed.
- using DOP-Mii (IOS249 selected) uninstalled 222, followed by 223
- still within DOP-Mii, ran SysCheck and no 222 and 223 found
- exit DOP-Mii and run Hermes CIOS v5 installer
- installed 222 (IOS Base - IOS38) followed by 223 (IOS Base - IOS60)
- exit Hermes CIOS installer and run SysCheck 1.6.1
- report still shows:
IOS222 (rev 65535),No,Enabled,Enabled,Disabled,Enabled,Disable d,Enabled
IOS223 (rev 65535),No,Enabled,Disabled,Disabled,Enabled,Disabl ed,Enabled
Checked USB Loader and it is working. Am I missing something?
Edit: Just thought I'd post to let you know I'm not expecting an immediate answer. Will try to check up some forums as well to get some clue.

We will be working towards procuring the additional funding for the other half as soon as we can.
We thank each and every one of you who has contributed to us in any way towards our goal and we appreciate your continued support and belief in us.

Brighton and Hove are widely regarded as one of the UKs best and most loved seaside destinations, with thousands of tourists flocking there each summer season. However, the city doesn't just shut up shop and hibernate in the winter months! There is plenty to see and do when the weather turns colder – you just have to get out there and look for it.
For example, there is surely no more romantic a site than the Brighton Royal Pavilion's Outdoor Ice Rink. This has definitely become one of the city's most popular winter attractions and it is easy to understand why – skating at night with the exotic Pavilion lit up behind you, you would be forgiven for feeling as if you were gliding across the ice in front of an oriental palace. And with 'pop up' restaurant and bar facilities (in 2012 these were run by Jamie Oliver) you can even have a mug of mulled wine or hot chocolate to warm you up. The ice rink is open from mid-November until late January (closed on Christmas Day).
If you are considering staying in Brighton for a winter getaway around the 21st of December then a must see event is definitely the 'Burning Of The Clocks.' This long standing tradition sees the local community carrying hand-made willow and paper lanterns in a procession through the city before gathering on the beach for the culmination of the event – a spectacular fire show and fireworks display.
One thing Brighton is famous for is its festivals and events. While Pride may be the biggest (generally held in September) there are a host of smaller events that run throughout the year. Some of the more wacky of those held in the winter months are the Christmas Pudding Race (think egg and spoon but with a pudding on a tray) and the Brighton Santa Dash – both of which are for charity. Another great winter event is the Christmas Artists Open Houses where, for set weekends in December, local artists open their homes for the public to view – and hopefully buy – their work.
New Year in Brighton can offer party goers a wealth of opportunity. While details will vary from year to year, there are generally a number of parties and events from theatre to masquerade balls to concerts.
Of course, it wouldn't be right to talk about Brighton without mentioning the iconic Pier. Open all year round (with the exception of Christmas Day) you can enjoy the thrill of the fayre just as much in winter as summer as most of the rides and attractions are under cover. And no visit to the Pier would be complete without a bag of fish and chips which will be all the more appreciated when the weather is chilly.
For many Londoners, Brighton is the perfect escape from the big city. And they are lucky in that it is a relatively short drive or train ride away. Those of us who live further away may have to consider other options however.The easiest option may be to fly to nearby Gatwick then simply jump on a direct train to Brighton Station or hire a car at the airport and cruise down the M23.
So why not check out Brighton this winter? Perhaps the seaside town will end up with a year round reputation as one of the United Kingdom's best holiday spots!

Larry Caudill, a parent whose children attend R.W. Combs Elementary here in Perry County, made a good point in his address to the county board of education on Thursday.
The board, in its approval of a new athletics complex at the East Perry Elementary site, has set aside well over $200,000 in coal severance funds for the installation of artificial turf on the new football field. If the board can afford to spend that much money on athletics, Caudill said, then surely the board can set aside enough funding to install adequate security features in our schools.
With the recent tragedy in Connecticut and the various school shootings that came before, it should be obvious that this type of thing can happen anywhere. We applaud the board's decision to begin the process of looking closely at school safety, but we're left a little confused as to when this issue will ultimately be addressed.
Board member Jerry Stacy, in noting the district's financial situation, promised to remain focused on school safety, but cautioned that upgrades to the school's security won't happen overnight as these upgrades must be paid for.
Stacy is correct. Security upgrades will be expensive. Finance Officer Jody Maggard estimated $100,000 at least. That's money the district doesn't have lying around, to be certain. But as Mr. Caudill noted, if we can set aside enough money to ensure that our athletes are playing in the best facilities possible, why can't the funds be found to ensure our students are learning in the safest environment possible?
Perhaps we don't really need artificial turf.
Times are tough. No one will argue that. And with more school shootings occurring every year times are getting tougher, which is precisely why we hope the board will address safety issues sooner rather than later. This is one issue on which we cannot afford to wait.

Greatest Invention EVER? Squeeze Bacon
by Mike Casey
posted Jun 25 2012 4:52AM
(Bit Xchange)
Squeez Bacon:
A real, actual product that consists of
partially reconstituted bacon made into an easy-to-spread paste
Developed in Sweden after World War II by a particularly creative chef looking for a new way to process bacon,
Squeez Bacon is now available in the U.S.
According to its advertising, "Vilhelm Lillefläsk's Squeez Bacon® is
fully cooked 100% bacon.
Due to the patented electro-mechanical process by which Squeez Bacon® is rendered, it requires no preservatives or other additives. Each serving is as healthy as real bacon, and equivalent to 4 premium slices of bacon!" Slop some on a burger or use it to flavor your lemonade, no big deal.
Mike's Thoughts: Anyone else amazed that Squeez Bacon was invented in Sweden? Seems like that should have been an American invention, doesn't it?

Thanx mate, but there's NOTHING about changing SD cards while installing BootMii...
d). Install Bootmii as boot2 if you can, if not then install it as an IOS then go back and install the Homebrew Channel.
HEY nice method we used the same method cool i bricked trying to change my background i know iknow silly and i had got a japanese banner brick
Hi guyes. i have the same problem... i have a wii with wiikey and nothing else.... no bootmii or preloader installed. My problem started when, i let my wii udate trou nintendo via wi-fi... to firmw 4.2eur... then i restarted it, it frezes in the health warning screen, and the "press the a button" never apear.... i have savemii..... hvat should i do, im desperate...
T-race - Nope you have a semi-brick.
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
Hi guys,
I got a bricked Korean set wii. Original FW was 3.4U when i first purchased it
Then recently i updated my Wii to 4.1U. Everything was working fine, except my Wii Shop Channel when i head in it automatically kick me back to main channel.
I'm still able to play my backups thru USB Loader GX. until yesterday when i played my Paper Mario halfway it freezes due to the glitch on Chap 2-2 where u need to speak to Mimi..
So no choice i have to power off and on again. Then from there it dies.
I got a black screen of death when power on. Tried whatever steps like:
1) Power off main and turn it on by pressing power. Power light shows green.. still BSOD
2) Power on using WiiMote it fails, WiiMote can't seems to register with the Bluetooth module inside.
3) Brought it back to the shop, the shop uses SaveMii to load in and it shows 4.1U.. and from there it just stuck there.
That guy mentioned to me that my Wii is unbrickable for now and blame me that i updated my FW to 4.1 and he can't unbrick it.
I just bought my Wii recently and i was starting to enjoy it.. then this thing happens. I'm really desperate right now.
Can anyone tells me what can i do to make my Wii "unbrick" again?
have you installed preloader or bootmii??

Visions: Gramza: Attracting, retaining talent key for regional developmentWritten by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
Editor's Note: This guest column is part of an annual special section called Visions, in which Toledo Free Press asks local economic development and business leaders to share what they see ahead for Toledo and Northwest Ohio in the coming year.
In my new role with the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce, I had the opportunity to spend time with even more chamber members than usual in 2014.
Without fail, every company cited talent attraction and retention as one of its key challenges.
This came as no surprise, as people are the No. 1 asset of any organization. We must be able to grow local talent, recruit talent from other regions and hold on to talent when recruiters want to lure it elsewhere.
RELATED: Ottney: Visions
As a first step toward connecting with emerging talent, the Chamber created EPIC Toledo in 2007. EPIC, which stands for Engaging People, Inspiring Change, is based on the belief that a region that is influenced by diverse young professionals is a region that can attract and retain them.
In 2009, the Toledo Region branding initiative was developed to promote the region's quality of place and economic assets. Last year, the initiative enhanced its message with a new campaign: It Matters Where You Make It.
In 2015, the chamber's main goal is to help companies in the region with their efforts to recruit top talent by promoting the diverse opportunities and benefits of working and living in the Toledo region.
We will accomplish this in two key ways. The first is to promote the diversity of jobs within the region, while the second is to showcase the quality of life that can be attained for those who relocate or choose to remain here. For those who wonder if there is a regional economic development strategy and if "all of those organizations talk to each other," rest assured there is and we do.
While many groups throughout the region have economic development as a part of their mission, this does not necessarily mean that there is confusion or duplication. The business of growing our economy is complex and requires focus in key areas. When each organization focuses on what it does best and communicates regularly with the others, success is not only possible but likely.
The chamber is proud to play a key role in this regional effort through our advocacy efforts and member services. Our team is eager to move into this next phase of talent attraction and recruitment in 2015 as we illustrate for the world exactly why "It Matters Where You Make It."
Wendy Gramza is president of Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Usually any site which is not using redirection from www to non www or vice-versa is creating a duplicate cope of his own site. Google offers various ways by which you can tell Google to tell which site to index. Usually web masters set 301 redirection or use canonicalization to set their preferred domain. Here I'm sharing one more way by which you can tell Google which is your preferred domain. Usually you don't have to worry much about this setting if you are using WordPress, but again it's always a good idea to configure this setting from Google Webmaster tool.
If you not sure you are making same mistake by offering two different links for the same content, try to open your site with and without www. If both of them redirects to one URL, you need not need to worry about, else you should make sure that both the URL should redirected to one URL only.
What is Preferred domain setting?
As name suggests, you can tell Google which URL ( www or Non www) you would like Google to index. Though this
You can treat your domain like http://shoutmeloud.com or http://www.shoutmeloud.com. If you don't set your preferred domain style, chances of getting penalize for duplication of content by Google is very high.
This is what Google talk about preferred domain :
The preferred domain is the one that you would like used to index your site's pages. If you specify your preferred domain as http://www.example.com and we find a link to your site that is formatted as http://example.com , we'll treat that link as if it was http://www.example.com . In addition, we'll take your preference into account when displaying URLs in our search results. It may take some time for changes to be reflected in our index.
You can read more about preferred domain here on Google official page.
How you can set up your preferred domain using Google webmaster tool?
To configure this setting, you need to verify domain ownership of your domain with www and without www. You can use the same meta verification to verify your ownership or upload the verification file offered by Google Webmaster tool, when you submit your website. Once you have verified the ownership, login to your website dashboard under Google webmaster tool and click on gear icon on the right and click on site settings.
From there you can set your preferred domain settings. As I mentioned above, you need to add www and non www version of your domain.
Though if you have set proper 301 redirection, which usually any WordPress blog does by default, you can skip this step. Once you are configuring Webmaster tool for your blog, you might like to set it too.
Do let us know which domain URL do you prefer, www or non www? And which method do you prefer to set you preferred domain URL ?

Shop-Eat-Surf creates a good source of timely information about the industry. The site makes all types and size companies feel part of a community where everyone is stoked to hear about other companies successes and ideas. It is always a good daily read.- By Ted Li, VP of North America, Oakley
As a retailer in the surf industry for the past 21 years, I have had to use multiple sources to stay informed to the news within surf. Since the inception of the Executive Edition of Shop-Eat-Surf.com, I need only one stop. Thanks for providing such a valuable tool to all of us in the industry. Shop-Eat-Surf is a must read for all of our staff at Maui Nix.- By George Karamitos, CEO, Maui Nix
CIT: West Coast team featured in Fashion Manuscript.
FSG LAWYERS: Represented Loomworks Apparel (P.J. Salvage) on its acquisiton by Delta Galil.
Details on Industry Insight.
A year ago today we launched Executive Edition, our paid subscription service for our more in-depth stories with original reporting.
We weren't sure what to expect when we launched. Lots of large media companies are trying to figure out a viable, long-term business model and our little niche site has had to do the same thing on a much smaller scale.
We don't own a print publication for the main driver of revenue, and we are not backed by a big media company. Unlike some Internet startups, we did not raise millions of dollars before we started the site, hoping the business model would somehow work in the end.
I think many of you have seen us try to figure this out as we go along. Shop-eat-surf started as an experiment two years ago after a decade-plus career in newspapers covering everything from murders and fires to City Halls and Orange County action sports companies. I worked as an editor in my last job at the Orange County Register, a difficult job to mesh with family life.
When I left, I started posting news I was finding about local action sports companies, and the great response from readers kept me going. After a year though, I had gone as far as I could go on my own. I was writing stories, selling sponsorships, and using iWeb and an FTP site to load stories everyday. My idea to have an Orange County specific site had grown to include business news for the action sports industry overall.
To get to the next level, we took a big risk and my husband, Andrew Horan, left his senior editing job in the newspaper industry and joined Shop-eat-surf.
As many media companies are finding out, online advertising revenue, while a crucial piece of an Internet business, is not enough to support a purely content-driven site. The professional reporting we bring to our site costs money. Technology is expensive. We pay our own way to events, trade shows and on reporting trips because we are determined to keep our content free of conflicts and independent.
Andy coming on board allowed us to develop a subscription model to supplement the generous support of our sponsors. He handled the technology, the subscriptions, all the elements that I could not do because I was too busy writing stories.
After a year, I must say, our list of paid subscribers is impressive. I'm honored by the caliber of people who feel what we do is worth paying for, especially at a time when the general ethos seems to be journalism is dead.
What we put behind our paid wall is a work in progress. We still post free stories everyday, but the stories that use our professional reporting skills, that take more time to report, that offer more depth or original reporting that other media outlets don't have, we now save for our Executive Edition subscribers.
Thanks to those subscribers and our incredible sponsors, what started as an experiment has turned into a business that supports our family, uses contributing writers and has big growth plans.
Next month, we launch our quarterly Executive Roundtable series with a live interview and discussion with Pacific Sunwear CEO Gary Schoenfeld. The response to that event from both sponsors and attendees has been fantastic, and we plan to bring our audience more events with speakers of similar caliber four times a year. For our events, we are rewarding our Executive Edition members with reduced ticket prices.
We will write more about skate and snow next year, and increase the number of contributing writers we use. We will also be reporting more from different parts of the country.
And, for our Executive Edition readers, we will be adding more regular features and information to reward them for their support.
We sincerely thank all our readers, members and sponsors for supporting Shop-eat-surf. And, I have to thank all the executives who have given me a glimpse into their business minds. I love writing about this industry – it is so interesting and dynamic and the people who work in it are creative, independent and in many cases, self-made.

So here we are, after quite a lot of pictures we are leaving Malaysia behind, and moving on to Indonesia, and more precisely Bali. For some reason the name of Indonesian islands are surrounded with an exotic, almost magical aura "Java", "Borneo", "Bali", just by pronouncing them it feels like you're already escaping reality, and entering a time of tropical myths and legends. Well it turns out that in Bali at least reality isn't too far off from imagination. Monkeys, monks, temples, forest, dancers, fire, desert islands: welcome to Bali.

So we just got into Bali yesterday, but it turns out I am moving to Iran for some time today, and I am not sure I will be able to update this blog from there. Hopefully I will, but in case I don't I wanted to post this portrait I particularly liked and leave you guys with it till I come back. It was taken in Can Tho, in the heart of the Mekong delta in Vietnam.

My trip is over. I repeat the words again and again: "My trip is over." But the simple fact refuses to sink in. It just floats in my head, as light and capricious as a soap bubble, suspended indefinitely by a current of conflicting emotions. I am happy to be back and I am depressed. I am excited to stay in one place and I want to leave again tomorrow. The world seems both bigger and smaller. All of my attempts to cling to a specific thought or feeling are eventually thwarted by a grudging realization that the exact opposite may be equally as true.
And yet I am undeniably back in San Francisco. I drove over the Golden Gate Bridge. I ate a burrito at El Buen Sabor. I played pool at Bloodhound with Phil, Neil, Lawrence and Marie. And I almost threw a temper tantrum when I realized how ugly and expensive the Bay Area rental market has become. I am back. My trip is over.
Tad Sae Waterall (Laos)
"What was the highlight?" people ask. The question is impossible to answer, so I blurt out whatever pops into my head. Reconnecting with my Hmong friends in Sapa. The Masai Mara and the Lolomarik Farm in Kenya. Exploring the Atacama Desert with Marie. The ceremony of the four Buddhas on Inle Lake in Burma. Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. Seeing a wild tiger in India. Meeting my parents in Buenos Aires. Swimming with sea lions in the Galapagos. Trekking in Nepal. Watching monks collect morning alms in Luang Prabang. Coming face-to-face with wild mountain gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. The Sossusvlei sand dunes in Namibia. Flying in a private plane over Africa's Great Rift Valley. Everything about Southeast Asia.
Lightning over the Tonle Sap (Cambodia)
Those highlights, for some reason, spontaneously appear in my thoughts less often than random, seemingly trivial memories. Pouring unlabeled hot sauce on a bowl of noodle soup at a tiny restaurant in Yangon. Sitting down at a long wooden table in the lobby of a hostel in Kampala as a cheesy hip-hop song began blasting from surprisingly loud speakers. Weaving through crowds of colorfully-dressed indigenous women on the crumbling and chaotic streets of La Paz. I can't explain why, but the small moments mean as much to me as the highlights.
Angkor Wat Blue Sunrise (Cambodia)
"How have you been able to digest it all?" asked Larry, my cabin mate in the Galapagos. His wise question deserved a simple answer: I haven't. Stopping regularly to work on photos and blog entries helped, but it was impossible to fully appreciate and process such an incredible variety of people and places. Certainly not at the time, and maybe never. Paul Theroux, one of my favorite travel writers, has said, "It's only in retrospect that you begin to understand the travel experience," and there's a huge amount of truth in that short statement.
Monk Chanting with Kittens (Burma)
Theroux is also responsible for a startlingly accurate description of the sensation of 'otherness' that can only be found in international travel: "Often on a trip I seem to be alive in a hallucinatory vision of difference, the highly colored unreality of foreignness, where I am vividly aware (as in most dreams) that I don't belong; yet I am floating, an idle anonymous visitor among busy people, an utter stranger." For me that feeling had once been a rare, cherished high, but a full year of traveling through developing countries brought it upon me so frequently that towards the end I began to worry I might develop immunity.
Camel Driver at Sunset (India)
Looking back on my trip, there's very little I would have changed. I loved all the different places I visited, and for the most part I felt good about the way I experienced them. I do wish that when I was in western Uganda I'd crossed over to the Congo to see Mount Nyiragongo's lava-filled crater. I wish I'd made more progress on my Spanish, which is still pathetic. I wish I hadn't fallen for a scam on the Peru-Ecuador border. I wish I'd arranged my India visa further in advance. And I wish I was the type of person who would have enjoyed being more social and could have done a better job striking up conversations with strangers.
Cheetah in a Tree (Kenya)
Conventional wisdom says you're never the same after taking a long overseas trip, and I know I'm different now than I was before. But I don't feel any wiser or smarter, any more patient or tolerant. I didn't experience any dramatic revelations. I never even learned how to properly use chopsticks. What changed most was the strength of my connection to the wider world. Now when I hear that a bomb exploded in Nairobi, or that Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest, or that a boat sunk on Halong Bay, it affects me much more than it would have before I traveled to Kenya, Burma, and Vietnam. The places I visited have become far more real to me, and consequently I care more about them.
Nshongi Group's Dominant Silverback (Uganda)
Fifteen months of traveling didn't do much to help me answer life's Big Questions. My suspicion continues to be that the ultimate answer is that there is no answer, and that buried within this paradox is a deep understanding that can't be captured with words or passed directly from one person to another. We each have to uncover it ourselves. And traveling, for some of us, is one of the most rewarding ways to sift through our absurd, sublime existence for clues that we're digging in the right place.
Sossusvlei Sand Dune (Namibia)
The trip was unquestionably one of the best things I've ever done in my life, and more than anything I feel grateful. Grateful to my parents for raising me in a way that encouraged independence and curiosity. Grateful to Marie, Zannah and my parents for making the trip immeasurably more meaningful by meeting me overseas. And grateful that I was born in a time and place where a regular middle-class guy can fairly easily take a year-long trip all the way around the world.
Edge of Perito Moreno Glacier (Argentina)
I fully appreciate how extraordinary it is that I had the opportunity to take this trip. It's not something that would have been feasible for the vast majority of the current world population. Just 50 years ago it would have been tremendously difficult for anyone. Five hundred years ago it would have been virtually impossible. And who knows what the future holds? There's no guarantee the window will stay open. If you've ever considered taking a similar trip, now is the time.

The Spike 2010 Video Game Awards were on tonight, and I watched it even though I knew it was going to be problematic. Alex reviewed the 2009 VGAs last year, and while this year did contain less jokes about 'balls' and other male anatomy, it was not without its share of sexist representations of women and bad women jokes.
To start, all of the women on stage were clearly put there to look good and draw the male attention. They were scantily dressed, but more problematic was the fact that the majority of them had no relevance to the gaming industry. Even Neil Patrick Harris (the show's host) had ties to video gaming, as he did the voiceover work for Spiderman in a game this year. Denise Richards, AnnaLynne McCord, and Rachel Bilson were the female presenters that I can remember off the top of my head. Of all the games that won, the developers who came up to accept the awards were all men. Not a single female developer, though that shouldn't surprise me. (Edit: Point redacted. My DVR cut off the last 10 minutes of the show, and I missed the Game of the Year award, which was accepted by a female for Red Dead Redemption).
Neil Patrick Harris had a couple bits where he spouted off video game porn titles, like "World of Whorecraft". Most of them were fine, although I have to be honest that "Call of Booty: Pre-ops" pissed me off. There was an awkward CGI scene in which Kratos from God of War III was shown being sensual with a barely-dressed woman before tossing her aside like a piece of trash. And I noticed that 5+ minutes of the show was dedicated to presenting the award for Best Performance by a Human Male (won by Neil Patrick Harris), without even a mention of the female category.
When Rutina Wesley and Ryan Kwanten of True Blood came out to present the trailer for the new SSX snowboarding game, Rutina's script consisted of her calling it "SEX" and talking about snowboarding in her underwear. And finally, one of the presenters (I think it was Dane Cook) mentioned that good games are something we all can 'jerk off to'. You know, because we all have something to jerk.
Overall, the VGAs could have been worse. However, I can't help but wish they were on a network that wasn't geared toward men. I feel like I'm an outsider while I watch, which is ridiculous because I make games for a living. There is nothing inclusive about the televised version of the VGAs, whether its due to its sexism or its lack of portrayal of gaming genres and platforms other than Xbox 360 and PS3. Where were casual games, Wii games, social games, or handheld games? The jokes were bad, the performers were lackluster, the overall show was just poor. So far, these don't feel like legitimate awards to me and the network has a long way to go if they want me to take the award show seriously.
Readers, did you watch? This was in no means an exhaustive Border House takedown, so I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Japanese auto makers such as Toyota Motor Corp. and Honda Motor Co. are reporting strong profits, but it's mostly thanks to their overseas sales.
This chart shows one reason: The number of cars
owned by the average household in Japan has barely budged since the early 2000s after rising steadily even during tough economic times in the 1990s. Read More »

Home > About Delmarva > Geographic Profile
The Delmarva Peninsula, also known as the Eastern Shore, has a rich and
diverse geography due in part to its abundant natural resources and diversity of
its landscapes. It is a large peninsula that is bordered by the Chesapeake Bay
in the west and the Atlantic Ocean in the east. As a part of the Atlantic
Coastal Plain, many of the common parts of the peninsula include uplands, low
flatlands and tidal marshes. The Coastal Plain makes up about one half of the
state of Maryland, while
The peninsula was formed by glacial melting at the end of the Ice Age, from a glacier in what is today New York and Pennsylvania. The run-off flowed south through the many rivers, especially the Susquehanna, taking along with it an abundance of silt and sediment that eventually made up the Eastern Shore. During the Ice Age, much of the lower shore was under water, especially after the sea levels rose along the Maryland shoreline.
The state of Maryland is divided into three parts: The Coastal Plain, the Piedmont, and the Appalachian region. The Coastal plain takes up half of the land area in Maryland, and is part of the larger Atlantic Coastal Plain. The Coastal Plain is characterized by its flat lands that slope gently into the Atlantic Ocean.
These rising sea levels caused many of the barrier islands in the area to "roll over," which occurs when sand is eroded from the ocean side of the island and deposited on the bay side. The island thus becomes smaller and shifts to the mainland. Many of these barrier islands, which protect the mainland and salt marshes from storms and heavy surf, have disappeared because of roll over.
For hundreds of years, the Eastern Shore has been hailed as some of the best farmland on the Atlantic seaboard, the sandy soil rich in sediments and nutrients ideal for raising vegetables, wheat and corn. The surrounding waters and tributaries also provide a great source of income for local watermen who harvest various fish and other game in the area.
Like the rest of the Potomac Region, Maryland's Eastern Shore has a wide variety of wildlife and plant life. Fishing is a huge industry, but is also recreational, as are any occupations and hobbies concerned with water. Largemouth bass, chain pickerel and other game fish are common here, and on the Atlantic side of the peninsula are found flounder, tuna, mako shark, rockfish, marlin, yellow fin trout, American eel, and lined sea horse (called "St. George's dragon" by early English settlers in the region).
The area is most known and renowned for its shellfish. Oysters and blue crabs are as much a part of Maryland's identity as is the Chesapeake Bay, and are one of the most important ecological exports in the world. The harvesting of the blue crab, for example, has been estimated to be worth well over 45 million in 2000.
Land animals common to the region include cottontail rabbits, whitetail deer, opossums and squirrels, red fox, and the occasional Delmarva fox squirrel. Wolves were also present on the Eastern shore during the early years of settlement, but they either died out or were driven off after excessive hunting.
Delmarva has by far a rich variety of bird life. Some of the more famous birds are the osprey, often called "fish hawks," and numerous varieties of sea gulls and shorebirds. Trumpeter swans were also common here once, but are now endangered due to overhunting. There is a wide variety of songbirds, like red-winged blackbirds, blue jays, robins, Eastern bluebirds, ruby-throated hummingbirds, Baltimore orioles, mockingbirds, wrens, thrushes, and sparrows.
Other birds include owls, doves, quail, various hawks, swallows, crows, wild turkeys, and woodpeckers. Canada geese, ducks, terns, blue herons, egrets, piping plovers loons, grebes and spotted sandpipers are found along the coast, as are the rare pelican and peregrine falcon.
Aside from the abundance of fauna, Delmarva also has a variety of plant life. Many evergreen and deciduous trees blanket the landscape, joined by such arboreal varieties as American holly, sweet gum, sweet bay magnolia, maple, beech, white oak, walnut, chestnut, cherry, pine and pecan.
Wetlands plants include cattails, salt marsh bulrush, and yellow pond lilies; the Eastern Shore wetlands are also home to black gum trees and bald cypress. Plants common to a salt water marsh are groundsel bushes, marsh hibiscus, wax myrtle, sea oxeye, sweet flag and southern wild rice.
Given that the eastern half of the state lies in a coastal plain, the Eastern Shore is not very high above sea level. Water is virtually everywhere on the shore, with many marshes, tributaries, streams, creeks and crisscrossing rivers. In fact, all of Maryland's navigable streams are on the Eastern Shore.

Leiden is a city of knowledge
In the past, Leiden was known for its textile industry. Later, other industries set up operations in the city, too, such as metal, printing and canning. From its origins as an industrial city to its 21st century incarnation as a leading centre of the Netherlands knowledge economy, today Leiden's highest concentrations of jobs are found in biotechnology, education, business services, research and the arts. With its universities (Leiden University and Webster University), college, other educational institutes and a knowledge centre, Leiden is a city of consequence regionally and nationally as well as internationally.

We're Nearing Boiling Point
|July 7, 2012
|Posted by siriusboi under Culture, Economy
Nostradamus predicted the end of the world in 2012.
Honestly, I have reservations on how true his claims are. But seeing how the Philippines is currently managing its natural resources and the environment, he may actually be right.
The Philippines touted as the Pearl of the Orient has been struggling for years trying to rehabilitate its grandeur virgin forests, crystal clear rivers and lakes, pristine white beaches and the lush flora and fauna which are endemic to the country. Sadly, the nation is failing, badly. The country's environmental programs that are supposed to be aimed at the protection, conservation and rehabilitation of our nation's treasures have not been making big progress.
Who is to blame?
I blame our stupid government who has been so lax with environmental laws. It seems that they have decided to not heed the calls of their people and of the whispers of Mother Nature. Are the landslides, the flash floods, the epidemics, the disheartening cries of many Filipinos, the poor state of their impoverished lives not enough for them to actually see that it's about time they take a firm stand against environmental degradation?
I blame our uncooperative industries who have been blinded by the smoke from harmful fossil fuels refusing to go renewable and have consistently failed to exercise their corporate responsibility.
Our government officials especially DENR who keeps tolerating illegal logging and irresponsible mining firms who have denuded our forests and made barren our lands that lead to the massive devastation of Bagyong Ondoy. It only shows our government officials' neglect of the environment and their criminal disregard for its citizen's security and safety.
Our water companies should also be slammed for their inability to offer us fresh water every day and yet, ironically, just east of Metro Manila lies the biggest lake in the Philippines, Laguna de bay.
The tourism sector has also been unwary of their advocacy for sustainable tourism letting the once island paradise of Boracay become extremely overdeveloped, with its famous beach now choked by a flawed sewage system and overdevelopment of the island. The white beach may not be white for long.
The Metro Manila Development Authority should start relocating informal settlers near the riverbanks of the city because these squatters have continuously hindered the development of our capital and have made the Pasig River a giant septic tank.
Allow me also to blame our local government units in their enforcement of these environmental ordinances which has been lax — if not altogether absent.
Let me blame the elites who believe that carbon emission quotas can reduce the production of greenhouse gases in third world economies thinking that money can buy everything.
Lastly, I blame all the Filipinos who are presumably caretakers of this great nation but instead we keep killing it every day through our carelessness and greed. We know that we are all guilty in our lives that we have cut a helpless tree, thrown plastic in the sea which were mistaken as food by the fishes, abuse the use of too much electricity, didn't care if oil spills hit our ocean floors, build where we are not suppose to build driving away the littlest creature that lives there to be replaced by a concrete jungle, smoke-belched, turned a deaf ear to environmental advocacies, never thought of reducing, reusing and recycling our own garbage and most of all, those who have been ignorant fools about the current state of Mother Nature.
I feel so ashamed, for us and for myself.
It's quite ironic that for the past few years, we thought that it would be a giant chunk of extraterrestrial meteorite would annihilate our planet earth. Today, it turns out we are all killing ourselves with our own misdeeds. Sad but true, we human beings are the only ones who have destroyed our own habitation. The future may seem so bleak for us. The Philippines is slowly dying and what we need now is a breath of fresh ear, literally. Let's stop being wasteful and be practical. The world isn't getting colder and the Philippines isn't getting greener either. Our natural resources are depleting. Our forests are vanishing like thin air. Our rivers are turning into muddish nightmares. Our life is heading to an end. We have only little time left. It may be too late to have prevented these things but it's not too late to start anew. We can start with simple basic ECO-solutions. It's about time for us to be conscious of our daily activity. We might be amazed by the magnitude of the impact of segregating and throwing our thrash in the garbage bin, individual household tree planting, following the three R's, patronizing environment-friendly products, more people walking and using improved public transportation instead of using their cars or turning off our lights for just one hour and be happy for what we accomplished in 60 minutes. Care for the Earth should always be our concern at all times. Don't buy a car if there's no serious need for it. Don't buy too many houses if you don't really need them and please don't go making babies just because you're in heat. A small contribution can mean a lot.
We have only one home, the earth. Over-exploitation of its resources will kill it and when the earth is dead, all of us will die too. Learn to appreciate every little thing around you. The Philippines has been so blessed with a rich culture and biodiversity that is envied by so many. It would be a shame to lose such a precious pearl. The Aquino government should enforce his officials to do its share by executing and implementing existing laws for the protection and the preservation of the environment. In fact, we are hundreds of nautical miles away from environmental justice. The president should be more aware and bias for environmental protection and outside the metro what the government should do is educating people. Awareness should be coupled with action. Sometimes awareness alone only lives "in the now," and after the moment is over, it's back to old habits. Well we can't blame everyone but the fact still remains that change starts from oneself. The Filipinos themselves will have to learn eco-responsibility if he wants to continue living in the Philippines. It's up to us to take on the challenge in preserving what is left of the Philippines and its treasures. Reversing ecological destruction maybe a long and arduous task but doing it for the next generation so that they can live a happy life is worthwhile.
We have a great country here and great people. We don't need other countries to badger us with insults on how to run a country. We've been running this nation for years and we've accomplished a lot of feats. Our nation would grow by leaps and bounds if we just work together for a common goal. People want the government to do everything for them, what they don't realize is that they have the power to do it themselves.
Mother Nature is in dire need of heroes who would aid her in her own battle, the battle against pollution, deforestation, extinction and climate change.
She needs you. She needs us.
Editor's notes: Sorry for the late posting. This was buried in the 'drafts' area. We didn't see it till now.

WooCons - The Ultimate OmniFocus Perspective Icons
With about every second post I typically get asked which icons I use for my Perspectives in OmniFocus and I've tried my best to answer the question every single time. However, I thought a "official" post might be helpful as well. While I mentioned Glyphish as a nice icon set for use in OmniFocus before, that love affair was a relatively short one and I came back to my standard icon set very quickly: WooCons #1 by WooThemes.
It a very nice, nearly classical set of icons originally purposed to be used in web applications and sites. However, amongst the 170 icons are nice fits for nearly every Perspective you could think of. As they ship as 32x32 pixel PNGs they are also perfectly suited to be directly dropped into OmniFocus' Perspective Settings.
Thanks to Janik Baumgartner for designing this beauty.
