The much-talked about, well, in some circles, App.net has been funded. The site was asking for $500,000 in funding, from its would-be users, in order to get the ball rolling. Within a day of the deadline, it reached its goal and now has over $670,000 from early adopters.
There's already an alpha version of the site and platform. There's also some time left to join the new site, provided you have the pockets to do so.
So what is App.net? In essence, it's a Twitter competitor, a Twitter clone to be exact. The twist is that it's a paid product, while Twitter is free. It's also just starting up, at the moment it has a little over 10,000 users.
The fact that you have to pay for it, the fact that Twitter already exists and the fact that Twitter has tens of millions of active users would suggest that App.net is a dead end.
But for the site and its backers, all of those things are actually good points. A yearly fee means that the site can stay free of advertising.
This means that the developers can focus on making the site great for users instead of lucrative for advertisers. There's a lot to be said about that in an increasingly closed and page-view driven and web.
What's more, the fact that there are so few users means that the discussion is of a higher quality than on Twitter, especially when you take into account the fact that people pay to get in. At least, that's the hope.
What's more, it means that it's actually possible to follow the global discussion and actually get to know many of the users.
App.net is the brainchild of developer Dalton Caldwell, of imeem fame, who was fed up with Twitter's increasingly hostile attitude against external developers using its APIs. That attitude is the result of Twitter wanting to bulk up its ad revenue.
There are things to like about App.net. And there are ways through which it will scale, to a degree, and generate enough revenue to keep it in business and be profitable.
But its success depends on how you measure that success. If the goal is to create a small community of experts and generate enough revenue to sustain itself, then App.net can already be considered a success. If the goal is to take on Twitter then, well, App.net has a long way to go before being considered a success. In all likelihood, it's never going to get there.
There is no way App.net can convince hundreds of thousands of users, let alone tens of millions, to pay for something they can get for free. What's more, for something they don't really know they want.
Twitter's biggest problem is that non-users don't know what they'd do with it. Even if it convinces people to sign up, most give up shortly after since they don't "get" Twitter and don't know what to do with it. Twitter has a problem with growth even as it has tens of millions of active users, hundreds of millions of users in total, and huge media coverage.
App.net doesn't seem to bring that much more to the table for it to not only succeed where Twitter has failed so far, but to do it while charging people money for it.
Oh, and the much-talked about platform, the big reason why App.net was created in the first place, the hint is in the name, doesn't stand a chance with 10,000 users or even with 100,000 or even with one million. Microsoft is having problems attracting developers to Windows Phone, even Android still lacks in developers.

I had an Akto for a coupe of years, and more recently a Nammatj. The performance is of the highest level, assuming one can deal with the weight. Having said that, this is an instance of getting something for the increased weight, all of which improves the all weather performance of the tent.
Dave,I had a good poke around a Nammatj in a shop last yar and was very impressed with it, do you use it solo?
Jennifer, it is very dangerous to ask a group of Hilleberg fans to extol the virtues of their tents. You may have just opened Pandora's Box. ;-)Since I'm about to sound like a Hilleberg add, I need to disclose that I have never gotten a penny from the company, or compensated in any way...and with the amount of advertising I've done for them they owe me at least a Nammatj 3GT or an Unna...(are you reading this Petra?) hahahahaha.OK, so down to your question; A Hilleberg might not be for everyone. They are simply too heavy for many people to even consider. When I go on solo summer backpacking trips I've been using my BA Copper Spur. It is a great tent for that purpose, and the lightest I'm willing to go. I'm the kind of hiker who likes to have a real tent when I get to where I'm going, and I don't care for trekking poles at all. That said, if I'd looked into the Unna or the Akto before I bought the Copper Spur, I likely would have gone the Hilleberg route for even solo camping.Now on to their bigger tents; Ventilation is excellent. I can see why in some of their smaller tents with one door, a mesh inner tent would be nice in hot weather. But in my opinion any of their tents with 2 doors (Staika, Tarra, Saivo, Kaitum, Keron, Saitaris to name some) have excellent ventilation to the point of the standard yellow inner being fine year round. The Saivo in specific with it's vents at either end and two huge roof vents is a venting machine. I use my Hillebergs year round, even for good weather, summer camping. The same thing that makes them excellent for going to the north or south pole, makes them great for me as well...longevity and ergonomics. These tents last forever (almost). There is a couple named Simon and Lisa Thomas who have ridden their motorcycles around the world for the past 10 years, from both the most northerly and southerly roads capable of being motorcycled in the world. They have used two Keron 4GT's for the past 10 years (replaced their first one after 5 years). In my opinion, 5 years of living out of the same tent from the hottest deserts of the world to the coldest arctic areas and having it last that long is a testiment to durability. When you get a Hilleberg catalogue they include swatches of tent material...standard ripstop nylon, and their Kerlon 1200 and 1800 fabrics. The swatches have a tear started in them already, and the idea is to rip the material apart to see the strength. The Hilleberg fabrics are pretty much impossible to rip by hand, especially the 1800. For ergonomics the ease of set-up by one person, in foul weather, is incredible. So is their space. When Hilleberg calls it a 2 person tent, they really mean it's a 2 person tent, plus gear. So in closing, Hilleberg will always be my tent of choice from here on out, simply because I like having confidence in my gear. Unless weight is your absolutely highest priority (and for many it is), I can't see a reason NOT to go with a Hilleberg. Even cost will be lower in the long run, with how long they last. Even though I'm thrilled to death with the new Saitaris, the Tarra is still the most impressive tent in their line-up to me. It has the space of a tunnel, with the bombproof and easy set-up of a dome. For motorcycle camping for 1 or 2 people the Tarra probably couldn't be beat by any tent on the market.

Doug - You've written previously about your Tarra and Nammatj 2. Do you still have those, now you're in possession of the Saitaris? I recall you thought the combination of the first two would work well for your family trips. Did you have a rethink?I am now down to 2 Hillies - like Stephen I have a Soulo and a Kaitum 3. Petra graciously let me return my unused Staika after three months for a refund. Back problems last year meant I couldn't fathom carrying a shelter that heavy. Others have said it's perfect for motorcycle touring, kayak touring or use with a pulk - just not carried on your back. I've become more confident in the weather-handling of the tunnel tents, and I really appreciate the amount of extra space vs a dome.Eventually I see myself using the Kaitum for winter backcountry trips, but with a young child and a tax accountant wife, my opportunities are slim at the moment. We'll be using it as a family shelter this coming summer. My two 60-70lb dogs fit perfectly in one vestibule and there's plenty of space for my rambunctious son to entertain himself with projects in case of bad weather.
Hi Stuart, I bet the Kaitum will work very well for a family summer tent.I only have the Tarra and Saitaris now. I had the Nammatj 2 (non-GT), and briefly had a Saivo, which I upgraded to the Saitaris from. Here's my thoughts on the two I didn't keep for long. The Nammatj 2 was a great tent, that I probably didn't give enough of a chance to. It was my first tunnel tent and after camping at a designated site (improved campground), where the ground was incredibly rocky and hard, I sort of got turned off the tunnel concept. Since then I've realized that I was using the wrong stakes for the ground conditions. I now carry all three types of pegs with me every time I camp (snow stakes, standard pegs, and titanium "nail" stakes). You're going to be shocked when I tell you what stakes I used with the Saitaris on this snow camping photo I just put up...the titanium nails. What you can't see in the photo is that when I set up the Saitaris it was about 3 or 4" of fresh powder on top of pure ice. The titanium nails were the only stakes I had that would penetrate the ice, even with a hammer to put them in. They held great. I have really learned that the only way to play it safe for staking is to carry a variety. So in hindsight, I would like to give a tunnel another chance, but this time I would go for the Nammatj 3 GT. Unfortunately I can't justify another Hille now that we have the Tarra and Saitaris.Now about the Saivo. I know that people who use it as intended, 2 or 3 person basecamps for a mountaineering tent, will have the perfect tent for their task. Here is what I didn't like about it for my uses: A dome really needs to have the head-room for me to be happy in it. I have to be able to sit up without hitting my head on the ceiling. The Tarra, because of it's tunnel/ dome shape, has exellent headroom for a 2 person "dome". The Saivo happens to land in that unfortunate spot where it is wide enough to hold 3 people, but the walls are too slanted to have decent headroom except for in the middle. The Saitaris, on the other hand, is large enough that 4 grown people can sit a comfortable distance away from each other and still have enough headroom near the walls. It's going to sound really bad, but to me the Saivo felt like a smaller tent than the Tarra, but for more money and two extra pounds packed weight. Even the vestibules are much smaller, since the Saivo's inner tent doors are so slanted. The Tarra vestibules are the same size as the Saivo on paper, but much larger in real life. I don't mean to knock the Saivo...if you use it as intented It's a bombproof tent. But for my needs I wanted a more all-around tent and it landed in the middle of two sizes I like much better.

Doug,The Bpl review of the Kiatum 2 is what swung it for me, Its weak point is snow accumulation on the roof but if there is 2 or 3 folks in the tent someone will wake up every few hours and knock the snow off, but when I am solo camping I prefer the Dome protection of Soulo so I can sleep in peace.http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/hilleberg_kaitum_bomber_tent_review.html#.URf5Q3y9KSMCheers,Stephen
Has anyone had a look at the Anjan yet?
Doug - I can absolutely understand where you're coming from. In addition to the Soulo, Staika and Kaitum 3 I've mentioned before, I tried an Akto, a Nallo 2 and a Nallo 3GT. The Akto design is a good one, but the TarpTent Scarp 1 is the better variant. I didn't get on with the Nallo 2's sloping roofline - two people couldn't sit up comfortably at once. I liked the Nallo 3GT a lot - the extended vestibule was awesome - but decided that more space in the inner tent and two vestibules was more important for the same weight, which I why I kept the Kaitum 3 instead.From the photos I see the Saitaris has boatloads of headroom, much more so than any other in the range except the Atlas or Altai. The Kaitum 3 is fine, but I wouldn't be doing calisthenics in there :-) I think the Saitaris has a good 8" more headroom. How was the ventilation with the combination of vestibule vents and roof vents open? I really appreciate the vestibule vents on the Kaitum. And how was the wind noise with the roof vent cover? A complaint I've heard but yet to experience with the Soulo is that the vent cover can flap around noisily in strong winds. As for the pegs you used, I can believe it. The main part of the shelter is freestanding, so it's really only the vestibule that needs to be anchored to maintain its structure, and the guylines to keep the side panels strong under a heavy snowload. One time I neglected to secure the guyline on the back of the Soulo (ie opposite the door). We had 2' wet heavy snow overnight, and when I woke up the inner tent had lost 1/3 of its usable space due to the weight of snow on the large panels of Kerlon 1200.What I couldn't tell is whether you dug down before you pitched the Saitaris, and/or piled snow against the sides. I'll assume there was some accumulation overnight, but I'd expect to see some on the top of the vestibule unless it was all windblown.There's one other model I'm tempted by, and that's the Jannu. However the entrance is very low due to its profile, and I'm told it's like crawling under a tarp to get in there. That, and it's snug for two.
For the same packed weight as the Soulo, I like the look of the Anjan 3GT.I did read a review of the Anjan 2 on outdoorgearlab.com - the one Max was selling on Gear Swap recently. Strange review, given that it was being compared with the TarpTent Double Rainbow, Terra Nova Solar Photon 2, and the Big Agnes Fly Creek 2 Platinum. Those shelters have almost nothing in common, so to force-fit a ranking is just bizarre.
The Anjan 2GT looks nice, I really like the idea of the big vestibule.That Outdoorgearlab did seem a bit odd having some of those other tents, one thing I will say is the sites reviews have got far more detailed lately.
Stephen, thanks for the link to the Kaitum review. I'll give that a peek.Stuart, the Saitaris is very nice for headroom. But if someone were going for pure usable space, I think the Keron 4GT would be even better. It's true that the inner tent height is 6" higher (at 50" )in the Saitaris than the Keron 4 (44"), but the Keron has it's peak height usable the entire length of the tent, and the walls are more vertical. Not to mention the vestibule in the Keron 4GT must be enormous. Because the "tunnel" part of the Saitaris is much lower than the dome, I'd imagine the vestibule of the Saitaris is closer in size to a 3GT, or even a 2GT. The Keron 4GT vestibule is probably about 48" in height, and obviously very much wider than on the Saitaris. So again, if space was my only goal, I'd have opted for the 4GT. But a big part of my decision was the design (I admit I'm vain hahaha)..the Saitaris just looks REALLY cool. And I like the bombproof confidence it inspires. Part of me also likes the cozy home feel of going in a smaller entrance and entering a much bigger living area. I've read nothing but rave reviews about the Jannu. After seeing one set up in person, I've got to warn you that it is a pretty small tent for a 2 person. Both the Tarra and Nammatj 2 I had seemed MUCH bigger inside than the Jannu. For my pitching conditions, as I said there was about 3 to 4" of powder on top of ice. I just plopped the tent right down on it...didn't try to pack it down or anything. All the snow you see in the photos is windblown. It snowed all night and was very windy, so I think the wind was continually blowing the snow off the roof. The wind noise was not unbearable, but I haven't done a lot of camping in super windy conditions so I don't really know what to compare it to.It was quite cold, and none of the snow was wet or sticky. Almost like dry little pellets. It did push in a bit on the rear vestibule, and a little on the sides, however, not to the point that the inner tent was contacted. For snow, I found I really love the GT vestibule door. I unzipped it as you saw in the photo, from the top, so snow wouldn't come spilling in. It still leaves plenty of room to get in an out. With just a traditional door like on the Nammatj 2 I had, or even the Tarra, they can be opened from the top but the opening will be very narrow unless you do it all the way to the ground, which in this case was under a foot of snow.

Doug - Thanks again for breathing life into this thread, and sharing your experiences. Agreed, everyone I've spoken to - including folks at Hilleberg - warned me the Jannu is snug for two. They tried to get me to go for the Tarra, but the weight difference was offputting. I do appreciate your real world thoughts about the different models, and that you're willing to admit some of the design limitations of your $4-figure Kerlon 1800 palace.I went through my photo library and found the Soulo in the winter storm last year where space limitations prevented me from fixing the guyline on the back of the tent. I live on a hillside, and my yard (if you can call it that) is a 45 degree slope. So I set the Soulo up on my deck to see how well it'd work. We had over 2' of cement-like snow overnight, and temps stayed in the 20s. I dug myself out in the morning to discover this sight. You'll see how the guylines on the front and sides of the Soulo helped it keep its structural integrity, but the absence on the back resulted in loss of internal volume. Not enough that I noticed it till morning, however.
Alright Ken, purely in terms of word association - I'd say strong, yes absolutely. But warm? That's not the first thing that comes to mind :-) Yet I've never been cold in my Soulo or Kaitum.
Warmth I know in the same conditions that the double walled Unna would be noticeably warmer and drier than the Moment.That the Moment is still standing under all that is testament to good design though. I think Jack would agree that he was pushing it's limits on that trip.
Like I said, Ken - purely by word association it seemed discordant. In reality, you'll have no argument from me that the 'Berg inners help keep them toasty.
Oh yeah. A little slow on the uptake(me)
My modified Moment with the crossing pole inside the canopy will fare even better in a snow load, as will my similarly modified Scarp 2. The problem with the CURRENT Moment is all the mesh at many places. Snow will just blow in despite your best efforts.Now, if the Moment just had a separate inner like the Notch it could be made of ripstop instead of mesh.

Limp mode symptoms, without being in limp mode??
I'm still having an intermittent problem with my 06 6.0. All stock, no modifications. There's been a few occassions while a very low speeds where my truck will all of the sudden drop to idle, and regardless if I mash the pedal to the floor, it will just idle. Usually within a minute or so, it will pick back up and respond normally. The limp-home wrench light has never come on, but it sure acts like it. Even at high speed, I've had it stumple a little. I've also had it where it wouldn't start. This is an intermittent problems that's driving me nuts. The only code I've ever gotten was a P0299 Turbo Underboost. I can't hardly believe the turbo (even with the vanes stuck) would keep it from starting. Maybe I don't know what I think I know .
I've did some recording here and there with AE, but can't put my finger on any problem. I plan to check the fuel pressure tomorrow, probably should have done that long ago.
Any suggestions.
That is weird. Internationals have that problem when they have a throttle pedal issue. You usually have to shut them off and cycle the key to get throttle back though. And they throw codes for that.
You're saying that if you just let it sit at idle it will finally rev up?
Yep, that's it. I'll even keep it to the floor, and suddenly it will slowly start going back to normal. I may have to also do some serious searching for some chafed wires tomorrow. It's really weird and the symptoms don't add up. Maybe that is whats going on. I even borrowed an oscope from work to check the cam and crank signals to make sure nothing is going on there. Many of the problems I think of should be covered by a code, but that may be assuming too much.
Any real insight or suggestions is appreciated.
Thanks again,
PS> Is there anywhere that really describes the control logic in great detail?? I even signed up for a 1 month subscription to the motorcraftservice.com for my vehicle. There's a lot of good information there, but to me it seems to lack a real detailed description of operation. Or maybe I'm not looking in the right place.
That is really weird. I would agree that it should have logged a code. Usually if something glitches like that for more then 10 seconds or so it will throw a code. I'd be curious to see what ICP pressures were doing when it did this.
What system/circuit are you looking for information on? I have acess to Internationals website which goes over most of the engine control information. Not sure if the Fords use the exact same throttle pedal setup. Most of the engine control stuff is the same though.
Really without a code or some way to narrow down what's glitching it's kind of a shot in the dark.....
Here's some of what I found on throttle pedal. Now this is for International so I don't know how much is relavent for you. I would think Fords are somewhat the same. The pinout numbers probably won't be the same. The symptoms you described sound like problems we have with the Internationals though. It's just weird because an International will throw a code right away for this, and the only way to get throttle back is to cycle the key. Here's what I have though.
The APS/IVS are integrated into one component and mounted on the pedal. The accelerator pedal assembly is serviceable to the extent that the APS/IVS switch can be replaced without replacing the complete assembly.
The ECM determines the accelerator pedal position by processing input signals from the APS and the IVS.
The accelerator pedal position is one of the controlling variables in the calculation of desired injection control pressure.
The ECM sends a regulated 5V signal through the ECM chassis connector terminal X4-4 to APS connector terminal C. The APS then returns a variable voltage signal (depending on pedal position) from the APS connector terminal A to the ECM at terminal X4-18. The APS is grounded from connector terminal B to the ECM signal ground terminal X4-24.
APS Auto-Calibration
The ECM learns the lowest and highest pedal positions by reading and storing the minimum and maximum voltage levels from the APS. In this manner the ECM auto-calibrates the system to allow maximum pedal sensitivity. The ECM auto-calibrates as the key is on, but when the key is turned OFF, these values are lost. When the key is turned on again, this process starts over. When the pedal is disconnected (or a new one is installed), the pedal does not need to be calibrated. It simply auto-calibrates the new pedal assembly whenever the key is turned on again.
The ECM expects to receive one of two signals through the ECM chassis connector terminal X4-12 from APS/IVS connector terminal D:
0V when the pedal is at the idle position.
B+ when the pedal is depressed
The IVS receives a 12V ignition voltage at terminal F from the ignition fuse in the power distribution box. When the pedal is not in the idle position (throttle applied), the IVS supplies a 12V signal to the ECM.
The ECM compares APS/IVS inputs to verify when the pedal is in the idle position. If the APS signal at terminal X4-18 indicates throttle is being applied, the ECM expects to see 12V at the IVS. If the APS signal indicates throttle is not applied, the ECM expects to see 0V at the IVS. The timing process is critical between the APS and IVS sensors. For this reason, it is very difficult to determine if the APS/IVS assembly is working correctly when using a Digital Multimeter (DMM).
Fault Detection / Management
When the key is on, the ECM continuously monitors the APS/IVS circuits for expected voltages. It also compares the APS and IVS signals for conflict. If the signals are not what the ECM expects to see, DTCs will be set.
Any detected malfunction of the APS/IVS sensor circuit will illuminate the amber ENGINE lamp. If the ECM detects an APS signal Out of Range HIGH or LOW, the engine will ignore the APS signal and operate at low idle. If a disagreement in the state of IVS and APS is detected by the ECM and the ECM determines that it is an IVS fault, the ECM will only allow a maximum of 50% APS to be commanded. If the ECM cannot discern if it is an APS or IVS fault, the engine will be allowed to operate at low idle only.
justinmix, thanks so much for your replies. Yep, I believe they're very similar. Here's what I found regarding the APP:
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) SensorIt does say that a fault with 2 sensor signals will only allow the engine to idle, but it also says a detected malfunction will light the wrench, throwing it into limp mode. And my understanding is that once this happens, just as you mentioned, the key has to by cycled for it to clear if the conditions have cleared also.
This is a really odd problem. It's not always that it drops to idle and doesn't respond. It sometimes idles very low for a short time when coming to a stop. Sometimes a slight surge will accompany the low idle. I'm guessing it's just hunting for the correct idle.
Just for the heck of it, tomorrow I'll see if I can disconnect two of the three APP sensors to see if it will just idle, AND light the wrench indicator, and require a switch cycle to reset.
What's bothering me is I have a trip to Florida planned pretty soon, so I need to figure this out before then, so I can rest assured that I won't have to deal with this while on vacation.
I guess it could be worse. I could be less fortunate and not able to afford the beast, and not able to afford vacation.
Thanks again for your help. If I find something, I'll definitely update this thread.
Eh, I don't think you can unplug it one at a time. Those 3 different sensors are all self contained in the throttle pedal, if I'm not mistaken. The only thing you could do is unplug it, which i'm sure will cause it to default to idle.
I'd really be curious what ICP pressure is doing though. I think this is more of an ICP or fuel issue. ICP should throw codes though. So that leads back to fuel issue? There really isn't anything on these that moniters fuel pressure.
But if it was fuel pressure I'd think you'd really have some missing and cylinder balance codes going on with it.
I'm thinking ICP issues somewhere. Or the chaffed wiring. I'd look that over real good and try wiggling the wiring harness while it's running and see if you can't get it to glitch.
Sorry, I'm just rambling some different theories here. Not sure if I'm helping or hurting now!
justinmix, don't be sorry for rambling. Any discussion on the subject helps. Thanks for your replies.
So much for checking the fuel pressure this weekend. I didn't realize the fuel port fitting adapter would be that hard to find. I checked all the auto places around my neck of the woods and couldn't come up with one. I'll have to order one tonight. I just as soon order a decent test guage while ordering. Anyone have any suggestions for a decent set up to test the fuel pressure on a '06? Would be nice if the correct adapter (M12x1.5) would come with it, but I can order it separate if necessary.
I got my fitting at a local hydraulic hose store. If you can find a place like that they should have the fitting that you need. I got a liquid filled gauge from there also. I originally used a Matco oil/trans pressure gauge set to check fuel pressure. The hose that came with that set was about 5' long which was nice so it would reach back into the cab. Most automotive fuel pressure gauges only have a very short hose on them. I like to be able to see what fuel pressures doing while driving so the longer hose is nice.
I'm sure if you could find a hyrdaulic hose store they could make you up a short hose also. Or just get the Mac or Matco oil/trans pressure gauge set. Even the fuel pressure guage sets from Mac or Matco have the short hose and are rather expensive.
As far as finding a gauge set with the fitting in it I have yet to find one. The problem is that most of your fuel pressure gauge sets are more designed for cars. So even with the fancier sets that come with alot of fittings won't have the one your looking for.
Same issue with my 06 6.0
I have the same issue as the OP.
Did you resolve your problem?

Here is a step by stage guide on writing a successful revenue letter. Adhere to these procedures and you will have a letter that will increase your sales, no make a difference what you are promoting.
By dealing with your pores and skin, you are able to make it healthier. By making your pores and skin more healthy, you will only make sure that the
acne treatment
does not arrive back. Many thanks to the internet, you are now in a position to find the latest remedies that provide both.
Getting more rest calms and regulates the physique's secretion of hormones. If you don't know it however, hormone imbalance is 1 of the main contributing factors of pimples.
There are many over the counter or recommended medications accessible, each topical and oral. Sadly these cures have to be used long-phrase and some can be both expensive and have harmful aspect-effects.
Sleep with a little electric enthusiast blowing on your encounter. This will dry out the issue spot faster. Unfortunately, it will also dry out the rest of your face, so don't neglect to moisturize prior to bed.
As with great medical quality type skin treatment, it is best to buy from your esthetician or doctor. It is extremely advantageous for the customer to comprehend the goods properly and how to use them. Osmosis has produced this easy with the goods they manufacture. Their kits are place with each other with the proper products to use for every skin type. Having somebody to guide you to find the very best results for your skin is important.
The problem, when it comes down to it, are two main hormones: insulin and androgens. Insulin, if you don't know, is launched anytime we consume a food. It basically regulates sugar in the blood. The problem is that our diets typically trigger our bodies to make WAY to a lot of it. As an outcome, our blood sugar levels crash. So soon following, our physique releases these androgens to get us to consume once more, which causes the cycle to start more than once more.
As you age, you should keep your skin hydrated and exfoliate the dead skin cells. Osmosis will do this for you. The older you are, the much less your skin exfoliates normally. Allow goods such as Mend, Correct, Renew or Boost do this or you. The key ingredient in these goods is Retinaldehyde. Stronger than retinol and more mild on the skin. No unfavorable side results, just safe noticeable outcomes. The exfoliation is extremely gentle as not to bring distress to the skin.
There are still so many acne products that had been rated as leading pimples cures. My candid guidance to you before you make use of any pimples item is to inquire someone who experienced made use of such product before with great outcomes. If the person has the exact same pores and skin type like yourself, then that may be your own top pimples item.

After a 60 hour rampage by Islamic terrorists through India's financial district in Mumbai, it seems to finally be over. Death toll is at 195 and could go higher. Now another battle begins…finding the people who were responsible. And I pray that Inda does not tread lightly after their 9-11 equivalent. This was not just some typical terror attack. This was well coordinated, well planned, well funded and obviously well executed.
Indian intelligence officials said the gunmen who launched the coordinated attacks appeared well trained and well prepared. The assailants seemed familiar with the layouts of the two hotels and the Jewish center, giving them a tactical advantage over the police and Indian army troops sent in to dislodge them.
"This is a big-scale operation, but it is not beyond the capability of Lashkar-i-Taiba," said the intelligence officer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the nature of his work. "The person we have caught is a foot soldier; he is from Pakistan's Punjab," the officer said, referring to a region divided by the India-Pakistan border.
"He has clearly said he is with Lashkar and that he was trained," the officer said. "They came via a ship. They hijacked a boat called Kuber, shot the man in charge on the boat. They were carrying a CD with the photographs of all the targets of the site, details. It is clear that they were determined to target India's iconic locations and deter foreign investment."
And this from the NY Times:
Armed Teams Sowed Chaos With Precision
Ten men, all apparently in their early 20s, jumped out. They stripped off orange windbreakers to reveal T-shirts and blue jeans. Then they began hoisting large, heavy backpacks out of the boat and onto their shoulders, each taking care to claim the pack assigned to him.
Mr. Dhanur flipped his boat light toward the men, and Kashinath Patil, a 72-year-old harbor official on duty nearby, asked the men what they were doing.
"I said: 'Where are you going? What's in your bags?' " Mr. Patil recalled. "They said: 'We don't want any attention. Don't bother us.' "
Thus began a crucial phase of one of the deadliest terrorist assaults in Indian history, one that seemed from the start to be coordinated meticulously to cause maximum fear and chaos.
Indian officials had said little publicly about the attackers until Saturday, when the Mumbai police commissioner, Hasan Gafoor, said a total of 10 militants had been responsible for the mayhem. But it remained unclear whether he was referring to 10 attackers arriving by sea to join other accomplices. Unconfirmed local news reports suggested some militants had embedded themselves in Mumbai days before the attacks. Investigations were ongoing Saturday night. In any event, the synchronized assaults suggested a high level of training and preparation.
Stories of heroism are already coming out:
Inside the blacked-out Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, hallways were littered with bloodied bodies.
Terrorists were still holding 200 people 33 hours after the assault began.
Knowing next to nothing about what they might encounter in the dark recesses of the hotel, Indian Army commandos decided to go back in — and were met by terrorists firing mercilessly, throwing grenades and continuously switching positions.
The sound of gunfire and explosions reverberated throughout the hotel's atrium, making it impossible to pinpoint the origin of the shots.
Through it all, the commandos walked down pitch-black halls, trying to navigate the damaged hotel without knowing the layout.
A commando spokesman, his face and hair swathed in a black scarf and wearing dark glasses to hide his identity, revealed these details of the mission inside the Taj at a news conference Friday.
They entered the hotel for the first time essentially blind to what was ahead. They had no idea what kind of people they would encounter, what kind of weapons might be pointed at them, and whether they might be blown up by explosives.
"Then we heard gunshots on the second floor and we rushed toward the fired shots," he said. "While taking cover we found that there were 30 to 50 bodies lying dead. At that point we also came under fire. The moment they saw us, they hurled grenades."
When the shots stopped, the commandos moved toward the source of the gunfire.
"At that time, they vanished … they had gone elsewhere," the commando said.
Here's a Reuters clip of the aftermath in Mumbai:

WARMEST 100 BIRTHDAY WISHES – Lyle Fosters 100 years of life will be celebrated at a party at the Highland Nursing Home a week from Sunday on Feb. 9. The celebration for Mr. Foster will be held from noon until 4 p.m. in the solarium (the room along the side of the building near the main entrance).
Everyone is invited to attend this very special birthday party. Everyone is also asked to send cards to Mr. Foster at 189 Highland Road; Massena NY 13662. Lets fill his room with cards and the warmest of wishes as this terrific gentleman celebrates a milestone birthday this year.
What an amazing man Mr. Foster is and what a marvelous opportunity I had recently to visit with Mr. Foster as he recalled countless events in his 100 years of life.
When I first met him at Highland Nursing Home, I asked if he was about to celebrate a very special birthday. (He will turn 100 on Feb. 12). They tell me I am, was his response.
Mr. Foster lived in Bombay on a farm on the Bombay-Helena Road. I worked on the farm there, he said, He worked on the farm until I worked on the Seaway – about two and a half years.
Neighbors and those who had heard of his reputation would come to Mr. Foster to repair their tractors – and anything that might not work properly. It was Mr. Foster who could fix anything, a family member told me. If he didnt have a part that was needed for the repair, he would just make the part – perhaps out of a soup can.
I used to do that, Mr. Foster said of repairing tractors and other equipment. I fixed hay balers, he told me, explaining neighbor Donald Durant had a hay baler that wasnt working. I didnt have any trouble, he said, fixing the hay baler. I went down (to the Durant home) and Donald bailed with it – he had no trouble at all.
Mr. Foster was there to lend a helping hand to his neighbors. I put a roof on Joe McKenzies barn, he recalled, explaining how the roof had fallen in. He needed a whole new roof.
I was told Mr. Foster also dug wells by hand. Amazing.
We had electricity put in in 1929, Mr. Foster told us.
He smiled and looked toward a visitor in his room that day, a visitor much younger than his 100 years and asked, Wasnt it?
His smile was delightful – his sense of humor pure joy.
He continued to remember the day the electricity was turned on. They turned it on when I as down in the flats. John (Mulvana) was there. I see the lights come on – a light here, a light there. It was 1929 – or somewhere in there, he continued. Once the electricity had come on, he said it came on good after that.
He loved horses. I had five at one time, he said. I used to ride them.
Since Mr. Foster has been a resident of Highland, he has been taken to the area behind the nursing home to see the horses there, a trip I was told he enjoyed a great deal.
I was told animals loved Mr. Foster. One day Dan Mulvanas pigs got out (Dan was a neighbor who lived on state Route 95). The New York State Police were called to assist. The troopers couldnt get them in, Mr. Foster recalled, so Dan called me to see if I could help him.
When Mr. Foster arrived, the pigs were going down the road, which is a state highway. I got a pail of grain – they (the pigs) knew the dish – the pigs saw the pail and ran fast as they could go.
He said he talked to the pigs and told Dan he should talk to them as well, something Dan wasnt as ready to do as Mr. Foster was. Mr. Foster took the pail and went into the barn with the pigs following him. Mr. Foster was able to communicate with the pigs – something neither their owner or the state police were able to do at that time.
Mr. Fosters skills were not only in the barn or repairing machinery – or even in caring for animals – he also was skilled at cooking. I made donuts, he remembered.
He described each step in frying his donuts. He took a spoon and slid the batter right down in the oil pretty soon they would come up on top. Then Id take the spoon and turn them over – until they were brown.
As he described making donuts, you could almost smell the aroma of fried donuts at the Highland!
When I asked about his long life and if he had any advice on how we might all live to be 100 with such a sharp mind and delightful sense of humor, he told me simply, I didnt pay much attention to it (age).
He thought he remembered thinking about getting old after his 90th birthday. He joked about age with those visiting him last week – shes older than I am he would tell us, speaking of a friend much younger than his ten decades of life.
My heartfelt thanks to Mr. Fosters niece, Priscilla McCabe, who let me know about his upcoming celebration. What a beautiful visit we had and what an extraordinary gentleman. I would ask each of you reading this today to take a moment and address a birthday card filled with good wishes to Lyle Foster.
It was apparent his family and friends love him dearly – and Bombay neighbors, too. I would ask those many neighbors and friends in Bombay who still remember his help in building a cupola for a barn or digging a well or repairing a tractor or rounding up pigs to extend thanks today for the good neighbor Mr. Foster was to each one.
I would hope that those who do remember will take a moment on Feb. 9 to stop by Highland Nursing Home and wish Mr. Foster a wonderful birthday as he celebrates 100 amazing years of life.
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK – If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometime taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Poet Anne Bradstreet (March 20, 1612 – September 16, 1672)

Telstra slashes 648 jobs from Sensis arm
- From: Herald Sun
- February 21, 2013
TELSTRA has sacked 648 employees - one in five staff - at its struggling Sensis business, amid fears some of the call centre jobs will be shipped offshore.
Sensis produces the Yellow Pages, White Pages and the Trading Post.
The communications giant is cutting staff in Melbourne and Sydney, in the latest Australian jobs blow.
Community and Public Sector Union national president Michael Tull said the job losses were deeply distressing.
"Sensis staff have been crushed by the scale of these cuts for a company that is part of Telstra which earlier this month posted record half year profits of $1.6 billion," he said.
"The numbers are substantial job cuts.
"They are call centre staff, back of office staff, design work for the ads and printing work."
Mr Tull said that there had been rumours of changes for weeks, but the scale of the job cuts had shocked him.

"The company is blaming the rise of online searches for the decline in its print publications, that have landed on doorsteps for decades." Thats the problem they never got digital!

look you idiots.. If you don't like Telstra sacking their workers.. Stop using them.. I haven't used telstra at all for any of my phone or internet... (sure they may own the phone lines) but.. Without customer service Id rather pay more elsewhere.. problem is it's actually cheaper elsewhere..

What a joke Sensis is! With strong competition from a competitor directory in our area, you'd think Sensis would be trying to get their act together. Again this year they have they butchered our display advert. Again this year, the competitor got it right with better readership and lower cost. For us, Sensis Yellow Pages has been an expensive and ineffective hedge that will not be continued. I'm guessing that Sensis' redundancies are not going to start high enough up the food chain to change their culture or their future. Tick.

Why can't they retrain or reposition them, why does everything have to be centred around increasing profits at all costs?, it's inhuman.

Pommie Pete of Bayswater Posted at 12:57 PM February 21, 2013
I forecast this ages ago. Sensis was a useless product even before Telstra bought it and it got worse. No online retailer with half a brain would use it. Clearly the "management" has/had no idea on setting up the search parameters and/or links. Whomever in telstra who authorised the purchase should be axed. Obviously the Board were as daft as the propogator. Our group has used Google for 10+ years and grown from Zero to where we are today. The one time Sensis gave me a "free go" it linked our Art Shop business to garden Sheds in Officer!!!

HOUSTON, Mar. 18 -- StatoilHydro has made a natural gas discovery on its Asterix prospect, which lies in 1,360 m of water 345 km west of Sandnessjoen in the Norwegian Sea. The resources are located in Upper Cretaceous reservoir rocks, the company said, adding that preliminary estimates put proved reserves at 16 billion cu m (about 100 million boe).
The Transocean Leader semisubmersible rig drilled wildcat well 6705/10-1 to a vertical depth of 3,775 m below sea level. The well is the first in production license 327B, awarded in 2007. Licensees are operator StatoilHydro 70%, Petoro 20%, and Norske Shell 10%.
No formation test was carried out, the company said, but extensive data gathering and coring took place in the reservoir before well 6705/10-1 was permanently plugged and abandoned.
The find represents "one of the bigger discoveries off Norway in recent years," said Tove Stuhr Sjoblom, StatoilHydro's head of Norwegian exploration.
Frode Fasteland, exploration manager for the Norwegian Sea, said, "Asterix will be considered for development together with Luva and the other nearby discoveries of Haklang and Snefrid South. That could help to lay the basis for a deepwater gas infrastructure in the Norwegian Sea." Asterix is 80 km west of Luva (OGJ, Apr. 3, 2006, p. 33).
StatoilHydro will now redeploy the Transocean Leader to production license 035B/362 in the North Sea to drill a delineation well on the Fulla structure.

The latest telephone scam to plague Ashtabula County apparently takes a more ominous tone with victims, using threats instead of trickery to pry money from wallets.
On Friday, the Sheriff's Office issued a warning to the community about the new scam, saying deputies have received "several" complaints from would-be victims. How does it differ from previous scams? This version taps into people's fears instead of their greed, officials said.
Lt. Terry A. Moisio explained how the scam works: A call is received from someone who claims "that someone, usually a relative, is kidnapped or in jail and money is demanded for their release." In some cases, calls are placed by pranksters, while in other instances money is demanded, Moisio said.
Deputies have also learned return numbers the scammers provide or appear on the victim's caller ID are computer generated and belong to "unsuspecting individuals not part of the scam," Moisio said. Because of those call-back numbers, it was initially thought the scam was based in northeast Ohio, officials said.
However, investigators — using tracking devices — learned Friday the calls originated in Puerto Rico, Moisio said.
Deputies advise everyone to ignore the calls and under no circumstances should money be sent to the caller, Moisio said. Never provide personal information or banking numbers to anyone over the telephone.
The sheriff's office began receiving complaints this past week, Moisio said. As far as deputies know, no local people contacted by the scammers have sent money, he said.

I think I could make my stirrups a hole shorter. My heels can be down at a walk, but at the trot the become almost level. I think I could be sitting up straighter.
At the canter, I have NO idea why I still do, but I put my hands down. They don't touch her neck, but they go down
I think it's habit from when I need to give her her head completely or she would trip and pace instead of cantering.
Over the jumps, My lower leg is still sliding back. The first jump was terrible, I know. I have no idea why, but my right leg had no contact at all.
The second one, I don't think the downed rail, was my fault. I watched a few times and I'm pretty sure I didn't land on her back too soon. Did I?
The third jump was much better, I think. Though in all of them, I'm still having trouble keeping my lower leg near the girth.
Also, what do you think of her? Getting her to collect I SO freaking hard, and I know I should, but I never work on it anymore.
Sorry about the videos, you have to watch it in the highest quality to see anything. Also my younger sister was a little bouncy with the camera..
Thank you very much!!

Casa Verde: Waste Management, One Man's Trash
Casa Verde: Waste Management, One Man's Trash
Justin Gignac, a graduate of New York's School of Visual Arts, picks up trash off of the streets of New York City. But, you won't find him in a sanitation department uniform. He actually fills bags with subway passes, Broadway tickets, coffee cups, phone book pages, and other NYC junk and carefully arranges them in plastic cubes, which are then signed, numbered, and dated in slick Helvetica typeface and sells them for 50 smackers — "making them perfect for anyone who wants their own piece of the NYC landscape," he says.
Gignac has sold over 1,000 of his trash cubes, each unique, leak-free, and smell-free. The initiative to repurpose trash spawned from a conversation with a colleague who said package design wasn't important; "I figured the only way to prove them wrong would be to try to package something that absolutely nobody in their right mind would ever want to buy," he rebutted. A fresh way to look at recycling . . . or exporting: his cubes can now be found in 41 states and 91 countries.

7.3 eating coolant. head gasket or what?
oh boy, not the time of year for a landscaper to have a truck down...
from my reading, it looks like a blown head gasket is rare on these, but it sure seems like one.
about a week ago, i noticed the heat was intermittently blowing cold air. a few weeks ago when i checked, coolant level was fine. thermostat sticking i thought maybe.
finally got around to checking on things yesterday, coolant tank empty. topped it off, gone again. filled it a few times since, a couple gallons at a time. no visible leaks.
checked the oil too, a little low, but fine.
yesterday evening while idling i notice white smoke, steam really, coming from the exhaust, and the sweet smell of coolant.
been making short little runs with it since, and topping off the coolant each time.
today i'm getting an occasional stumbling on engaging the clutch or acceleration, checked the oil, its way full, and looking like chocolate milk.
dummy temp gauge reads normal, exhaust temp on my gauges reads normal. no noticeable lack of power other than the stumbling.
everything i've read on here says the 7.3s don't blow head gaskets, but what else should i be looking for? Where do i start in diagnosing this? Getting ready to check codes on it, but don't expect to come up with anything.
I do run a chip, and i like to have a little fun with it, but nothing rediculous. does that increase the possibility that the gasket could blow?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
ok ran my ae diagnostic software on it, no trouble codes. ran a KOER cylinder contribution test, got a p0269 and p0284, #3 and #8 injector circut cont./ balance fault?
Anti Freeze in oil
Don't run this truck with anti freeze in the oil. Not an expert on this particular engine, just trying to stop more damage. Since it's been run low on coolant, could have a cracked head/block, also possible hole(s) in cylinder wall from electrolysis. Compression check and pull head(s) where low would be my next move. Your injector faults might be your problem cylinders, repeat might. Diagnostic code readers can only give you symptoms produced by a mechanical failure not define a mechanical failure. You may know this. Main thing don't keep running engine with coolant in oil and guessing until it seizes.
Its possible, the oil cooler is shot. Only place, besides the crack in block / headgasket, can the coolant be that much, in the crankcase. Location is driv side. Look in the wheelwell for a round silver tube.
There are many places you should check where coolant can be leaking into the the oil system. The most common is the oil cooler as the fella has already mentioned. Another common place is through the front cover. Erosion of the front cover does happen in these engines. One it starts it really can't be stopped. Pull the water pump and look at the front cover where the pump mounts. Usually the hole is at the 4 o'clock position when looking at the front cover where the impeller spins. Every rebuild I do if there is any sign of erotion the front cover gets replaced, because, again, once it starts it doesn't stop. Finally and least common is pin holes in cylinder walls from cavataion. If the coolant was not maintained properly this has been known to happen. If you have the ELC then you should be safe because it protects against this with out having to add or maintain coolant additives.
Ok, thanks guys. Guess i've got my weekend planned then. I don't have any external leaks at all.
What am i looking for in the oil cooler? is it the o rings that fail? I found a write-up on that, does anyone know of any for the front cover?
I guess my plan is to tackle the oil cooler first, flush everything out and see if that did it before tackling the front cover. or would it make more sense to just do them both? or is a compression test the place to start, to rule out the head/gasket?
unfortunetly, removing the front cover, results in, removing the motor. I think you can however, get a good observation, by removing the waterpump, WHERE if not most, erosion takes place. Compression test is always a good thing to diagnose problems.
Gotcha, i thought i had read somewhere it would come off with the oil pan loose, but maybe i'm mistaken. Hoping i do the oil cooler and find an obvious leak.
The oil pan has to come off the engine to remove the front cover. This is because the oil pick-up bolts to the front cover and cannot be removed without removing the pan.
Oil cooler:
Yes, there are four orings that seal the oiler cooler tube, two on each end. If these were broken you would have oil into coolant. This is becuase the oil sysyem runs at a much higher pressure than the coolant system. This would inturn force the oil into the cooling system. I don't think this is the root of your problem. This would not cause white smoke.
Front Cover:
This would cause coolant to migrate into your oil. This is becuase there is little pressure behind the cover where the erosion takes place, it is just the crank case pressure. The easiest way to check for this is to remove the water pump and take a look. Also, you can drain the oil, put water in the cooling system and listen to see if you can hear the water dripping into the front of the oil pan. This would not cause white smoke.
Blown Head Gasket, Cracked Head:
This is where it gets interesting because they have the same symptoms. Becuase you stated that you have white smoke coming from the tail pipe my guess is that you are buring water/coolant. A BHG and a cracked head would fit this bill of symptoms nicly except for the fact that in most of the cases there is not coolant in the oil becuase the water is burned and pushed through the exhaust. It could happen that the head gasket failed between a coolant passage and an oil drain passage but it's rare.
Cracked Block:
I don't want to rain on your parade, but I think that this is your problem. The crack can run from the combustion chamber to the crankcase, and water can be found both above and below the piston. This would explain the white smoke (water being burned) and the water in your oil.
I appoligize for my last post saying that an oil cooler would cause coolant in your oil, I was working late and was under a bit of stress. The fact of the matter is that the oil system runs at a higher pressure than the cooling system, so the higher pressure would prevail.

Update: 12:35p PT May 3: Now officially official. 90210 and The Vampire Diaries have been renewed as well.
Update 12:20p PT May 3: looks like the timing of telling the cast and crew was...not perfect. Tweets have been pulled down etc., but as far as I'm concerned telling the cast and crew the show is renewed *is* an official confirmation, just not an official announcement. I'd expect some sort of official announcement shortly.
Some noise on Twitter from folks working at the show that Supernatural has been renewed and our friends at Zap2it have confirmed it's true. Supernatural has been renewed for an 8th season. No surprise to anyone following the CW's Renew/Cancel Index.
May 3, 2012 (Burbank, California) - The CW Network has given early pickups to the network's top-rated show, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES, fan favorite SUPERNATURAL, and the world's most-famous zip code, 90210, with all three series to return for the 2012-2013 season.
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES will return for a fourth season of bloody good drama this fall, SUPERNATURAL will mark its eighth season with the monster-hunting Winchester brothers on The CW, and on 90210, the gang from West Beverly will return for season five.
Based on the series of books by L. J. Smith, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES is from Bonanza Productions Inc., Outerbanks Entertainment and Alloy Entertainment in association with Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios with executive producers Kevin Williamson ("Scream," "Dawson's Creek"), Julie Plec ("Kyle XY," "Wasteland"), Leslie Morgenstein ("Gossip Girl," "Private") and Bob Levy ("Gossip Girl," "Privileged").
SUPERNATURAL is from Warner Bros. Television in association with Wonderland Sound and Vision, with executive producers McG ("Charlie's Angels," "The O.C."), Robert Singer ("Midnight Caller"), Jeremy Carver ("Being Human") and Phil Sgriccia.
90210 is produced by CBS Productions with executive producers Patti Carr ("Life Unexpected," "Private Practice") and Lara Olsen ("Life Unexpected," "Private Practice").

Comments about Dunlop Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - Heavy:
Plain and Simple, these strings are what I've been looking for, for a long time. They sound phenominal on my EMG 81/60 ladden ESP's, especially in drop b and A tunings. I used Ernie Balls and D'addarios for the longest time, and the Ernie's broke to easily, and the D'addarios went out of tune constantly, no matter how much I stretched them, and lost tone quick. I bought these on a whim, and will never go back; I beat the living crap out of these things, and they never go out of tune and always sound great.
Comments about Dunlop Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - Heavy:
I bought the Dunlop 12-54 strings on a whim after reading a bunch of adds in Guitar World, and was impressed at the first note. They're everything the adds and the descriptions say they are. My overall tone has improved greatly. They stay in tune, and they last a hell of alot longer than most of the other crap that's out there.

October 2013 Update
Dann & Elizabeth Ransom (2006)
Dear friend,
Thank you for praying for us! It is a great encouragement to know that we are daily brought before the throne of grace by our brothers and sisters around the world. In this email we will briefly update you on some items for which we would ask you to pray.
The new school year has been underway for a little over a month, and both of our girls have adjusted fairly well. Cristina is enjoying first grade, and her teacher is one of the moms with whom Liz has been developing a friendship.
Please pray for the salvation of Cristina and Elisa's teachers, in particular Cristiana (Cristina's teacher) and her family, who are now also our neighbors (more on that later). Now that Cristina is in first grade, she goes to school six days a week, from 8:30 to 1:30 (on Saturdays she gets out at 12:30).
It has taken Elisa a little time to warm up to the idea of going to preschool / kindergarten each day (Monday through Friday), but we are beginning to see some improvements both in her relating to others as well as in her Italian. Please pray for both Cristina and Elisa, and for the opportunities we will have to meet people at their schools and share the good news with them.
Along with the start of the school year, a new season of ministry has also gotten underway. Both Liz and I (Daniel) have busy schedules; please pray for us as we meet with people for discipleship and counseling, along with managing areas of responsibility in the church and for the missionary team.
Specifically, please pray for the men's study that I teach once a month. We are focusing this time on the characteristics required for service and leadership in the local church, as we work to establish "non-missionary" deacons and pastors at Centro Evangelico Battista. Please pray for our church as we move in this direction.
On a family note, at the end of August we moved to a different apartment, about 100 yards away from where we had been living (our former landlord's son is getting married, and he wants to live in the apartment we were in). The Lord led us to an apartment in the same area, which has allowed us to be close to the girls' schools, as well as develop relationships with people we had already met.
Mark continues to grow at a very fast rate and his cheerful smile is an added blessing to our family. Please pray for us as we seek to honor the Lord in the way we balance family and ministry responsibilities.
Thanks so much for having a part in our ministry.
Grateful for you,
The Ransoms
Daniel, Elizabeth, Cristina, Elisa, and Mark

You might remember Ivan Tashev as the researcher behind the audio technology that helped to make Kinect for Xbox 360 such a marketplace sensation a couple of years ago. Now, with Xbox One headed for a Nov. 22 debut, Tashev, a principal software architect for Microsoft Research, is about to see his efforts with the Xbox team result in a new set of Kinect audio enhancements. This collaboration will extend the capability to control the console via voice command."Everything is on a higher level," Tashev says, "with tougher requirements, with way, way stronger criteria for release and for how the audio, the acoustics, and the entire audio system should work. We had a lot of work to do, and we improved the system a lot."Tashev's contributions are featured in the debut of the new Microsoft Research Luminaries video series on Channel 9, in which he describes what's new with the Kinect's audio performance.
Three months ago, a post appeared in this space about a SIGGRAPH 2013 paper called Dynamic Hair Manipulation in Images and Videos, written in part by Lvdi Wang of Microsoft Research, along with a few academic collaborators. It was fun, fascinating work that enabled the creation of a 3-D hair model from a single photograph with just a bit of user interaction.In reality, this seemingly lighthearted project was based on some extremely challenging graphic manipulations required to present lifelike results. But it was hard to get past the project's ability to let users take photos of themselves or others and try different, occasionally whimsical, hairstyles on for size.
On Oct. 30, during Innovation Day 2013 at Microsoft Research Asia, Wang and colleague Fan Yan took things a step further, with a demo called Digital Barber: 3D Hair Manipulation on Mobile Phone.
In recent months, 3-D printing has leapt into the popular vernacular. Not that long ago, 3-D printers and the items they produce seemed little more than an unusual plaything for organizational use. Such printers were expensive, difficult to understand, and, for most people, simply inaccessible.No longer, though. Such printers have plummeted in price and mushroomed in popularity. The result is that what seemed a distant dream has suddenly become a tantalizing reality. The question for many quickly is morphing from "What could they do?" to "What can I do?"On Oct. 30, during Innovation Day 2013 at Microsoft Research Asia, answers to the latter inquiry began to take shape, thanks to a demo called 3-D Scanning with Mobile Devices.
So, how was your summer?For three Microsoft Research interns, that question has them singing a happy tune.The three—Michelle Agcamaran, Priya Ganesan, and Kat Zhou—spent the summer at Microsoft Research Redmond, working with mentor Alex Cheng. In doing so, they also stamped their names on a cool piece of technology. You can actually download the source code and play with it yourself.
How many Likes have you received on Facebook lately? I'll bet you have a pretty good idea (and that your overall assessment will be "not enough").How many followers do you have on Twitter? You probably have a pretty good grasp of that number, too, don't you?That's understandable. Social media lends itself freely and easily to counting things, and if we start with no Likes and no followers, then each time our numbers lurch upward, we get a corresponding feeling of social success. Our popularity—or lack thereof—now comes with metrics, and they're irresistible.But what, really, do they signify? That's the discussion Nancy Baym of Microsoft Research wants to engender with her paper Data not seen: The uses and shortcomings of social media metrics, published Oct. 7 on First Monday, an openly accessible, peer-reviewed journal published on the Internet about the Internet.
