Very effective and portable
Great storage for the price. Very portable and the wire attachment is very easy to use. One difficulty is to make sure the batteries are place correctly. One reversed battery will cause it to not work.Write a Review
gets it done
Does exactly what you want it to. Easy to program the code. Easy to open and close in complete darkness. Heavy enough to stay in place, and small enough to easily conceal. The best buy I could find for the price.Write a Review
Engineering/Manufacturing Problem
Firstly I love this little security box. The size is great and it is secure. It is portable. The situation I have run into is that there is a plastic oval piece that fits over a keyed shaft from the little electric motor. There is nothing securing that piece to the motor shaft. After time it can work it's way off of the shaft (in my case it did) When this happens, you better have a key or you are stuck. In fairness to Stack-On they offered to replace this unit but unless they have fixed this issue, it will be an issue on the next one I get. Please fix this issue. I do love the box. If you are handy and can fix things yourself and can keep the key handy, get it but if you are depending upon it opening with electronics, don't count on it. I did report the issue so hopefully they will do something about it on future releases of the item.Write a Review
Awesome slim security safe
This personal security safe is awesome... I bought it because it has a slim profile and has the option of being open either with an electronic code or with a backup key. I bought it to store my .357 magnum revolver for instant access to protect myself and my wife against a violent criminal attack. Highly recommended if you own a gun...Write a Review

Pros: +keyed entry and keyless entry +Compact case +Has security cable +Fits standard size and compact handguns Cons: -Battery drained within week. maybe due to faulty batteries. haven't tested new ones yet. -Keyless entry is flakey, doesn't always register code you enter when pressing multiple buttons at once. -Battery compartment requires bolts to be unscrewed. I am going to get winged nuts for it. -wires exposed inside.Write a Review
Great Solution
This is a great solution to having your valuables secured yet available for quick use. I've got this wired to my bed frame at home and it goes along in the bed of my F150 on trips. I ordered an extra cable to prevent having to move it around all of the time as this goes practically where I go !Write a Review
Little Problem
I really like my security box as it is very easy to use and program. The only issue I found is that I had it on the floor inside my car and it hard landed on its side and the key pad quit working. To make matters worst I did not have my keys with me as I was moving and they got packed away. I could not even order new ones because I did not have a new mail address either. I had to force it open and after inspecting the battery box I found out one of the batteries had come off when it landed on its side making the key pad inop. I put some electrical tape to secure the batteries and that worked, however the key feature is busted now. I hope they come with a fix to this problem in the new ones. Overall great product.Write a Review
Good safe for the price
I purchased this safe to keep my full size pistol in my night stand. The added steel cable is a nice touch for ensuring my safe won't easily walk away. Only negatives are, the battery compartment has screws that need to be removed and replaced every time and the wiring is pretty loose in that compartment. The biggest con is the beeping is pretty loud when you push the buttons to enter the safe. I placed some electrical tape over the electronic speaker - this helped a lot. I live in Canada and we require a trigger lock on a stored handgun and the beeping could give away the few extra seconds I may need,to flip the combination on my trigger lock and remove it. I have had the safe for about 1 year and changed the batteries once just to keep them fresh.Write a Review
Love this thing!
I bought this over another much more expensive bio-metric brand, saved $140. Perfect dimms to mount in my suv to keep my glock safe. Loved this so much and at it's price point...I bought another exact unit for the house.......Write a Review
Perfect for small arms
Great easy to us and reliable Looking to buy another one right nowWrite a Review
Inconsistent opening
I like the design and ruggedness of the safe, but I have continued problems with it opening consistently. More often than not, the unit fails to open on the first try. The mechanism moves and it sounds like its opening, but you can't open the lid until you enter the code a second time. I have yet to resolve the issue with Stack-on.Write a Review
Good Buy
Owed this little unit for 6 months. Works great. Just had to replace batteries and is from almost daily use. Great size. Fits full size weapons like a Glock 17.Write a Review
It kept the TSA out. That's good enough for me
Yesterday I traveled with the Stack-On PC-650 in my checked bag with two pistols in it. I followed all of the procedures for traveling with these weapons legally. When I got to my destination I found nearly everything in my bag had been unpacked, searched and repacked. I also found the gun box badly scratched and with two dings in the bottom, one hard enough to remove the paint. The batteries had been knocked loose so I needed the key to open it. The plastic caddy holding the batteries was in pieces and the batteries were loose. It's my firm belief the TSA inspector's goal was to either get the box open so they could charge me with a violation or to at least damage my weapons. The box did it's job of keeping the guns secure despite the efforts of the TSA. Nice job, Stack-On. I will continue to buy and use your products.Write a Review
Great case but it took forever to get....
This case was the perfect solution to a concern I had regarding my Glock model 21 firearm. I wanted the firearm accessible and in close proximity to my bed. However, I wanted the weapon to be secure, yet quickly accessible if it was needed. This case will give you the best of both worlds. The only problem that I have noticed so far, is that I had to special order this case through a retailer. My special order was then put on back order. 1 month later, (after the case has been paid for in advance), the retailer finally tells me it's in. I have owned this case for about a week and haven't noticed any issues with the product itself. This case can hold a fully loaded Glock model 21 with a +2 extended floor plate on the magazine, plus an additional high capacity magazine without any issues. Thank you Stack On. I no longer have to be concerned about the firearm issue.Write a Review
Pungent odor.
I absolutely loved this case when I first bought it @ Gander Mountain.Electronic & key locks worked great,and it is the perfect size for securing two small caliber handguns while traveling or away from home.My problem is the more I used the electronic lock to open the case I noticed a indescribable pungent odor emanating from case.I removed the foam padding with the thought of replacing it to eliminate the odor but that didn't work.Now both of my firearms have this odor attached to them.I can only assume the odor arose from use of the electronic lock.I didn't notice the odor when I bought the safe.I plan to follow up with Customer Service.Write a Review
Great Case But....................
It is a great case but..... When I went to install the batteries for the first time the catch on the battery box broke off, the batteries bulged the battery box and the batteries lost contact. I currently have the battery box wrapped with tape and half falling out of the spot where they sit. Biggest problem is that I emailed Stack-On about the problem and I have had no reply after almost two months. I like it and I don't want to send it back due to the time and expense required. I am happy to solder in a new battery box (hopefully of better quality) and that is all I asked for, but no reply??Write a Review

Moroccans protest high unemployment rate, living costs
Thousands of people have taken to the streets in the Moroccan capital, Rabat, to protest against the country's high unemployment rate and cost of living. On Sunday, protesters marched through Rabat to demonstrate against the high jobless rate and growing expenses amid government plans to move ahead with social and economic reforms. Police officials say some 3,000 people gathered in peaceful protest, marching towards the parliament building in central Rabat. In the march organized by two trade unions, protesters chanted slogans against the government's policies, demanding their "rights and freedoms," AFP reported. Activists from the February 20 movement also took part in the march. Witnesses say the protesters accused Prime Minister Abdelilah Benkirane of pushing Morocco into a "ravine." Last December, people took to the streets to protest at high water and electricity prices. Many were injured in subsequent clashes. Anti-government protests broke out in Morocco on February 20, 2011. Morocco's King Mohammed VI announced some reforms following the rallies, amending the Constitution to curtail his powers and hold early elections. The protesters, however, say the reforms do not go far enough. The country has been facing serious economic troubles over the past few years, with high unemployment rate and rising levels of poverty.

Le Carre Blanc: Upscale Dining
This restaurant is a great place to celebrate a romantic evening or to cap off a great business meeting. White tablecloths, impeccable staff, and a great view of the beach all lend itself to a great dining experience. But what is a great dining experience without great food? Well, not to worry, Le Carre Blanc does not disappoint. Again, our party shared a wide array of seafood appetizers and some more great bread (not sure if there is bad bread in Tunis). The fish of the day is presented in all its glory for you to choose which fish you want and how you would like it prepared. Other options include pasta with frutta di mare and beef and chicken dishes. I settled for a filet with three cheeses, ordered medium rare, and it was awesome. Everyone at the table was completely impressed with the food and service except one woman whose steak was still mooing. A quick flash fry from the kitchen and all was good with the world. This restaurant is a little pricy, but worth it if you are looking to impress a woman or a business colleague.
Favorite Dish: The seafood appetizers of shrimp, calamari, octopus, and other delicacies were outstanding.

Andalous: Pricey and dim lit
After our failure to have a fine dining in Sidi Bou Said (one restaurant fully reserved the other closed), we returned back to Tunis and we went to Andalous restaurant located just off Av. Bourguiba. as mentioned in my guide book, it's a dim lit restaurant.
As the main dining area was crowded, we were directed to small patio even darker where we were all alone...
Service was a bit slow but they were kind and helpful. We had fish plus some extras. I can't say I was thrilled neither by the portion size nor by the cuisine and having paid 70TD (almost 40 euros) for 2 people (no wine, just 2 beers) I consider it expensive and not great value.
Price for a grilled fish (medium size): 18TD
Au Bon Vieux Temps - Sidi Bou Said: Nice Views, Mediocre Food
Au Bon Vieux Temps has a delightful location in Sidi Bou Said, with views looking out over the Gulf of Tunis. Unfortunately, the food and service cannot be recommended. On a recent visit, my friend and I ordered main courses of lamb couscous and fish with preserved lemons, as well as a starter salad of greens, cheese, and walnuts. All three items were of mediocre quality: underseasoned and boring. If you are in the mood for similar Tunisian food, I would recommend instead going to one of the cheap restaurants in downtown Tunis, where the food is one-quarter of the price and of similar quality. Better yet, make friends with locals and eat with them, or make your own food in a rented apartment. The quality of local produce in Tunis is excellent, though restaurant food is almost universally disappointing.
Sweets sweets sweets
Try some sweets from the street vendors in Tunis if you're peckish - jalabies and burfi are good. The first one I had was pretty good. The second one I had was covered in hairs and wasn't so good... it's hit and miss!
L'Orient: Good place, well priced
Located to the north of Ave Habib Bourguiba, this is a lovely large place that is well priced. I had a briq chevrettes (prawn crispy pancake filled with an egg) for starter and great 2 thin long pieces of veal for main course at TD12. Service was good but I had to wait a while for the veal to arrive. Beer is TD2.300. This place is popular with businessman whose mobile phones ring every 5 minutes! Good option.
La Mamma: Musical atmosphere
I came here and entered upstairs where there was live music and singing going on and the place was packed. Managed to find a table where a guy near me (who was rather intoxicated with beer) nearly caused a fight by dancing with someone else's wife! Great start to a meal! But after about 15 minutes the music stopped and a lot of people left including the intoxicated guy and the atmosphere changed for the better. I ordered a pizza followed by profiteroles which was great with good service. The band started playing again so this helped with the atmosphere.
Other Cafes: Other Cafes
Ave Habib Bourguiba is Tunis' answer to Paris' Champs Elysees and like its more famous French cousin, is lined with several cafe where the locals sit out under unbrellas at all times of the day and people watch. A cafe aux lait varies in price rather dramatically depending on which cafe you plumb for. For example it costs TD1.200 at the Cafe de Paris and a rather expensive TD2.500 at the El Hana International whilst only costing 900 mills at a cafe opposite the 5-star Africa Hotel.
Le Capitole: Cheap & basic
This restaurant is well located along Ave Habib Bourguiba and, indeed, you get a good view of the road from its high vantage point. I settled on the set menu at just TD5.800 which had salads and Hors d'oeuvres for starters, cous-cous, chicken and other meat dishes for mains. I had a salad followed by steak Dinine (turkey) which was a slab of thinly cut meat with fries. The food and general atmosphere are cheap so don't expect anything fancy. This place is ideal if on a budget and so the food reflected this.
Le Petite Hutte: Small friendly restaurant
This small restaurant is located a couple of blocks south of Ave Habib Bourguiba on Rue de Yougoslavie near Place Barcelone which lies outside the main train station. I looked at a couple of restaurants along this road which were rather smokey affairs before settling on this one. This was quiet with no smoke and is well priced with some good food and service. Alcohol is also served. Good option.
Mamma's: Touristy Touristy Touristy
What can I say about Mammas? Well, first of all, it broke all my normal rules for dining in Tunisia. It was in a touristy district and it catered to tourists. It offered fixed priced meals. It had a hawker on the street trying to draw patrons in. Could it get any worse? Well, luckily for us, no. It was a fair restaurant and the prices were fair as well. Nothing spectacular, but it wasn't trying to be spectacular. It is what it is…a restaurant for Europeans and Americans that are looking for "comfort food." It is not a place for the adventurous diner. I would hope that VT members are more sophisticated than that…live a little…go outside your comfort zone. The only meal I was disappointed in all week was when we "played it safe" at Mammas. Sorry, Mamma!

Au Bon Vieux Temps: A Great Restaurant in Sidi Bou Said
Our first night in Tunis we were treated to a wonderful meal at this quaint restaurant. After a series of appetizers that was shared amongst the six diners (and great bread), we al chose different entrees. I had the stuffed lamb and it was awesome. None of my colleagues were disappointed in their meals which ranged from couscous to seafood to other lamb dishes. I apologize that I was so engrossed in my meal that I didn't take note of other meals. I do know that everyone walked away impressed and the cleanliness and service was impeccable. It is easy to see why this restaurant was chosen as to kick off a great week of great food.
Favorite Dish: The stuffed lamb was very very good.
Dumpukht: Bollywood and Curry
My colleagues and I dined at this Indian restaurant one evening and were surprised to find out we were the only patrons. We made our way upstairs and settled for a table by a plasma TV that was showing some Bollywood movie and later music videos. After enjoying some appetizers, we all ordered something different (don't ask me what – I only know mine was chicken something). I am not a big Indian cuisine kind of guy, but I did enjoy my meal as did the other three people dining with me. Service was good, but not great, and the restaurant was clean, but we did see a few bugs crawling. That said, everyone really enjoyed their meal and there were no complaints. Although not my first choice, I would go back and eat here again.
Bayruth Café: A Great Lunch Treat
We ate at this restaurant for lunch twice during our week in Tunis. The restaurant and service was impeccable. Each dish was prepared and presented perfectly, from simple shwarma to delicious plats du jour. The restaurant has three levels. If you are looking for a quick sandwich, remain on the ground floor and order. If you would like a plate with salad and hummus, venture upstairs. I would recommend venturing upstairs…the hummus is amazing. And be sure to leave room for mint tea, a staple of Tunisian dining.
Favorite Dish: The hummus was amazing, but I rtuly loved my chicken shwarma the best.
El Dar Restaurant at The Residence Hotel: Traditional Tunisian Food in Style
This is a real traditional style restaurant, even though it is in a luxury hotel.
When you walk inside out of the hotel corridor you imagine you are somewhere in the Casbah.
All the decor is traditional and simple with a flagged floor and local arts and crafts.
The staff are friendly and helpful and are very good at explaining the dishes on the menu.
Favorite Dish: The lamb cooked in a traditional clay pot is really good and so different to anything I have had before. It is best if you share as the portion is huge. The lamb is baked in herbs and spices in a large clay pot that is sealed so all the juices and taste stay in. The waiter breaks the pot at your table. It is served with couscous and vegetables.
You need to be very hungry as the portions are big and it is very difficult to resist the lovely fresh local bread they bring before the meal!

Could Freddy Garcia be the pitching addition that puts one of the contending teams over the top?
Two scouts who watched Garcia's showcase workout on Tuesday in Florida said Wednesday they're not sure he can be.
"He controls the ball well," one of the scouts said. "He just needs to increase his arm strength."
"He wasn't bad for a guy who hasn't pitched in a year," said the other scout. "There's nothing wrong with his arm. He looks the same as he did (before shoulder surgery), with the same arm action. He just doesn't have the arm strength right now."
Garcia once threw in the mid-90s, but he was topping out at 84-85 mph before surgery. Tuesday, he was at 81-82 early in the session, later topping out at 86.
About 20 scouts, representing at least 15 teams, attended the workout. Both New York teams were represented, and some who know Garcia believe he would love to pitch for the Mets.
Garcia's agent, Peter Greenberg, said today that Garcia would ideally like to sign with a team soon. But Greenberg also said that if teams don't show enough interest, Garcia would be prepared to go to winter ball to prove himself, and then aim to sign a contract for 2009.
One of the scouts who watched Tuesday said that might be the best course.
"I'm not sure he'll be ready to help a team before next spring," the scout said. "From what I saw, he needs at least four to five starts (in the minor leagues). And the problem if you sign him is that he would still be a free agent at the end of the year."
Garcia last pitched in June 2007, for Philadelphia. He had surgery on his shoulder last August.

Anakin Prickly card. RA-4 contact printing of a 4x5. Nice treat. Ektar, eh? That explains the slide like colour contrast. The framing might have been helped by a lower viewpoint, but I am sure there were prickly issues that constrained where you imaged from.
Delphine Brighton Marina. Ah the joys of the still early morning water. Particularly is you were one of the ones dragging themselves home at that hour. The slightly off centered viewpoint from the middle between the row of moored boats strengthens the image over what a fully symmetrical framing would have provided. Nice bold margins, a nice range of print tones. The fog does not come though as strongly in the print as you recall it. I know first hand the challenges of getting a convincing fog to print. It was that challenge that drove me to start dabbling with PMK pyro, but even that film developer does not always deliver great fog rendition in the print.
Matt King Boathouses. A most delicious slight shimmer in the reflection in the water, as only a light breeze can deliver. Nice image. I might have printed it with a bit of a higher contrast to lighten the face of the boat houses.
Meazdad81: Dew in the Pines- Lovely bokeh, and tack sharp capture of the drops of moisture on the end of each needle. Nice use of all black in one corner to kind of anchor the image for me. This picture is a great example of showing that there are good images available for the capture everywhere. All we need to do is slow down and take a good look. Good blacks from RA-4 color paper. I know this is not always easy to do.
Rob Skeoch Resting in the Shade Lovely tonal range. The nice lack of focus in the background draws us to the kid flopped/draped on the motorcycle, thanks to low ambient leading to a less than infinity DOF. The posing, if there was any, is very good. Otherwise, the image is a fine example of good street photography. There is a great matt texture to the paper finish. I am tempted to try this paper, despite a full freezer of paper I already stock.

It's funny to think that 2020 sounds far off, but is only about 8 years away. I don't think it will be all that different... and if all else fails, we can always do calotypes, right?

It's funny to think that 2020 sounds far off, but is only about 8 years away. I don't think it will be all that different... and if all else fails, we can always do calotypes, right?
That said, I think the long term trend is for analogue photographers to go back to the future and retrace the historical developments of photography. I think it will be super-fascinating, actually. Yes, there will be infrared plates that you can buy, there will be new sensitizers and some beautiful new inventions. And, most importantly, there will be more interest in those forms of analogue photography for which we have complete ownership of the photographic process from start to finish. Do you think you really "own" a process in which you push mass-produced film through a mass-produced camera and make a print on mass-produced paper? Uh, no you don't.... at least not in the way that Talbot et al owned their process. Yes, analogue is only going to get more interesting.
As I said elsewhere, I actually look forward to TEOTWATKI: The End Of The World As They Know It. "They" are those who go on and on about analogue, but who couldn't make an emulsion with a blender and a cracked egg to save their lives. Over the next few years, they will sob and whine every time some mass-produced film product is priced beyond their reach, and they will expect us to care when they ultimately decide to purchase one of those cameras. Meanwhile, the rest of us, confident in the ascending value of the individual craft, will calmly and resolutely continue to enjoy what we do... and find continued enjoyment by sharing our ideas and images with others.
I've been on APUG for 8 years, and we've been having these discussions since inception. Film and paper costs a bit more (so does food and gasoline), but I'm using more or less the same materials. Gear prices go up and down and vary depending on what it is. Leicas and Hassies are fairly pricey, but Mamiyas and Minoltas are dirt cheap. Well, except for the Mamiya rangefinders. I still can't get over how enlargers can't be given away in some cases, but a good 4 blade easel will cost you a couple of hundred dollars! :blink:
Let me see, in eight years I expect to be shooting TMY in 7x17, TMY-2 in 8x10, FP4 and TMY-2 in 5x7, Tri-X320 in 220, TMY-2 and Acros in 120 and Tri-X 400 in 35mm. I'll be making prints using Azo and Amidol along with Platinum and perhaps some other traditional processes. I know this because the materials are already on hand. Kind of takes the fun out of looking in the crystal ball, but I prefer it this way.
As always, YMMV
In 8 years I will still be managing the teaching darkroom at the university, helping students with the exposure of their film and the making of their silver gelatin prints. And I will spend days like last Friday, helping a class of 30 students make their first palladium prints -- and as I will next month, showing them how to make carbon prints (with those still interested after seeing the time required for the process, taking a weekend workshop with me on making their own carbon prints).
I think you have to divide analog into 2 camps:
1) Custom processesLots of threads here on APUG and elsewhere. Will be seen as more unique and valuable. Will survive indefinitely.
2) Roll and cartridge film industrial processesDepends on pure volume at affordable prices to stay viable. Industrial production requires industrial consumption. Its survival will almost entirely depend on scanning to enable a broad enough market for the coating lines to keep their revenues viably high enough. The home darkroom crowd and the few pro lab left cannot sustain the volume to keep a single supplier in the market unless there is innovation and rationalization within the industry. Vertical integration of production, materials, and distribution will be key. We'll know well before 2020.
Judging by the age of some of the participants here, you younger guys better suck up all the knowledge you can because some of the masters, will be heading to the darkroom in the sky during the next decade.

President Obama is announcing $5 billion in grant awards to fund cutting-edge medical research in all 50 states.
Today, President Obama is announcing $5 billion in grant awards to fund cutting-edge medical research in all 50 states. To put this investment in context and better understand how it will create jobs and fuel advancements, check out this video of experts from NIH, including Director Francis Collins:
download .mp4 (60 MB)
In addition to supporting the full spectrum of medical research, the 12,000+ grants will create tens of thousands of jobs over the next two years. In the President's words:
We know that this kind of investment will also lead to new jobs: tens of thousands of jobs conducting research, manufacturing and supplying medical equipment, and building and modernizing laboratories and research facilities. I've long said, the goal of the Recovery Act was not to create make-work jobs, but jobs making a difference for our future. There is no better example than the jobs we will produce or preserve through the grants we are announcing this morning.
The President will speak at the NIH shortly, which you can watch live from NIH's site.

Magazine article Diverse Issues in Higher Education
Widening the Door to Higher Education: The Continuing Growth in the Number of Part-Time Students Challenges Old Notions about Time to Degree
Article excerpt
Here is a modest proposal, and it's guaranteed to generate even more sensationalistic media coverage of higher education than we're currently subjected to. Let s eliminate part-time student enrollment. This will place all colleges and universities on a more level playing field. After all, 30 years ago, my university, Northeastern Illinois University, and many other regional public colleges and universities, enrolled primarily full-time students. These students were often the first in their families to attend college, they worked to earn spending money and they were mainly the sons and daughters of White ethnics. They graduated within four years and took jobs within the corporate sector, education and public service.
Today at NEIU, more than half of our approximately 12,000 undergraduates come from underrepresented groups--Hispanics, Blacks and Asians. Whites and Middle-Easterners comprise the remainder. We are one of the nation's top degree producers for Hispanics in the fields of education and computer science and in ethnic studies for African-Americans. These graduates go on to earn doctorates and teach all across the United States. But what is different about these students? They take longer to graduate because they are often poorer than their predecessors at NEIU. They also work more hours, support families and are generally older than the average student 30 years ago. These students say that paying for college is a worthwhile investment, but they must enroll part time.
Today's students, like those of the past, aspire to a better life, but rising expectations face off with ever shrinking resources in support of public higher education. There is an unwillingness in Illinois to provide the financial support to ensure student success. In fact, we can document outright hostility toward these aspirants.
The New York Times ran an article in September analyzing how long it takes students to earn a degree. The piece led with a recent effort, known as the Consortium Study, to analyze Chicago public high school graduates and their time to a university degree. This study assumes that students who graduate from Chicago public schools and who begin their college careers as full-time students continue on as full-time students. In fact, many of these students become part-time because of financial needs and in response to family and employment obligations. …

Pitch counts: Reason to sound arm alarm or much ado about nothing?
Photo: Jim Cowsert/AP
Pitcher has always been baseball's most critical position, but the advancements and growing influence of sports medicine, along with escalating salaries, has placed more emphasis on keeping pitchers off the disabled list. "The game today, organizations are spending so much money on guys and injuries are happening so frequently, there is a 'care' part of it," Rangers manager Ron Washington says. "I think more people are concerned about the health of the players, so all of a sudden here come pitch counts."

Manufacturing Growth And Capital Are Moving From China To Mexico [View article]
That aside, I agree there is a China-MX gap, but the very big open question that remains, as always, concerns timing. There are a lot of variables at play here, some of which may result in Mexico's advancement delaying longer than we might expect or like. As Keynes famously said, "markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."Dec 17, 2013. 11:29 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
I'm definitely not the authority on 1982 vs. today, but based on the limited conversations I've had with people who would be the authority on that (i.e., typical Mexicans), there seems to be a begrudging acceptance that at least under the old system of PRI 1.0, things "worked." The thing is, for things to "work" in the 1982 sense of the phrase (a year during which, lest we forget, the Mexican government devalued the peso THREE times and defaulted on its external debt), there was a lot of ugliness going on behind the scenes. And while things may have "worked" better under the old system, there seems to be a similarly begrudging acceptance that there is no going back to that old system, for better or worse. The big question mark is whether PRI 2.0 actually understands that for things to "work" in the modern sense, different inputs are now required. The new government has been paying lip service to this differentiation, saying all the things it knows Americans want to hear it say, but there is as yet absolutely zero evidence that it can and/or will back up its words with actions. All this go-go-Mexico bullishness implicitly assumes that PRI 2.0 will indeed back up its words with actions. I'm not so trusting of this government for too many reasons to list here. Hopefully I'm wrong about them.Feb 26, 2013. 11:50 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
Thank you again Chris, this is a prime example of what I'm talking about. The article is behind a paywall I do not have access to, but already in the opening excerpt we're seeing exactly the mindless optimism I'm talking about: "Hidden behind the troubling headlines, however, is another, more hopeful Mexico..." -- "hopeful" -- this is important, no doubt. But "hope" doesn't achieve results.
Also in that opening excerpt: "a growing middle class" -- without a doubt one of the most meaningless phrases being thrown around in the discourse about Mexico right now. This is a phrase that has come about to make Americans more comfortable with investing in Mexico by putting the turbulence Mexico is undergoing into some sort of terms Americans can understand (since beheading people as an intimidation tactic is something Americans plainly do not understand, particularly in their own backyard). And again, it's important to make Americans comfortable with investing in Mexico. But that doesn't make the phrase "middle class" in the Mexican context any more meaningful.Feb 26, 2013. 11:00 AM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
Ian I completely agree. But this is easier said than done and there seem to be a lot of people overlooking how difficult this is going to be to achieve. Put another way, optimism seems to be trumping realism in a very big way.

Chris, agreed. What I find striking though is that expectations for Mexico right now could hardly be any higher. But look closely at some of these bullish stories hyping the Mexican miracle and there are a lot of ifs, coulds, shoulds...basically, forecasts that give the benefit of the doubt at every possible opportunity, when there is actually no real reason to do so. It's almost as if people are wishing the growth story to come true and throwing themselves at the flimsiest of evidence as proof.

The World Bank's IFC Investment Arm In Emerging And Frontier Markets: What We Can Learn [View article]
The amount of global capital looking for a new home cannot be overstated. One of the big obstacles I have found in interactions with my clients is that the ease with which they are accustomed to moving in and out of positions -- even among the least liquid of assets -- in, say, G8 countries, and now even certain other situations in Mexico, Brazil or South Korea, has acclimated them to a certain level of ease of doing business.
Put another way, the most common conversation I have (still!) with clients has to do with what's happening inside of the current year. Impatient capital like this obviously is not suited for investigating what's happening in less developed markets, even though there are many opportunities in such markets screaming for capital investment. Unfortunately, as I said, I believe this short-term outlook is the majority line, and it is perpetuated every day by a lot of the mainstream financial news outlets, not just on TV, but also online, Seeking Alpha's general content approach being a prime example.
The conundrum here obviously is balancing what customers (readers, investors) say they want versus giving them what we think they should want.
I could go on about this topic, but I think I've said enough for now. Anyway thanks again for getting Seeking Alpha to publish this. I guess it's up to our persistence to build enough of an argument for the majority to consider an alternative course.
I'm passing this interview along right now to everyone I know who should read it, regardless of what they've told me they want.Jan 25, 2013. 01:10 PM | 5 Likes |Link to Comment
Abegaz, thanks for your insightful remarks here. I always welcome the opportunity to get more detailed, so let's get more detailed. My on-the-ground experience in Africa is limited to Ghana and Nigeria. Some of what I've seen in both countries echoes what you are seeing outside your home. But other things I've seen are not so positive, and stories my clients in those countries have told me (more Nigeria than Ghana), are never exclusively bullish or bearish. There are no doubt opportunities in Nigeria and Ghana, but the least risky way of accessing them, as you rightly point out, is to be physically there, face to face.
Investing in an ETF is not a physically there, face-to-face activity.
Furthermore, many conversations I receive with Western-based players reveal to me serious mismatches in what I see on the ground—not just in Africa, but in many countries considered emerging and frontier markets—and how Western investors formulate their expectations. A simple recent example of this came up in a phone call with an American fund manager I know who was looking at a private equity deal in Mexico (where I am based). A week before he was meant to close on the transaction, one of the assets in question sustained irreparable physical damage as a result of armed violence. Needless to say, this fund manager reneged on the deal, and I suspect he may now unfortunately consider the entire country of Mexico to be off bounds, which it obviously is not. What he did wrong, in a nutshell, was that he looked at the numbers on paper and interpreted them with American risk management standards. He also didn't have the right people vetting the deal for him on the ground and as a result was asking all the wrong questions when he was conducting his due diligence. Also unfortunate for him was that he didn't get in touch with me until long after this fiasco had come and gone, or else I could have advised him ahead of time on how to snuff out that something might be amiss.
That's just one example, and I have many more similar stories in other countries, some African, some not.
To the extent that I have an overwhelming focus on the negative downside risks in this article (which was not what I was trying to communicate by the way, so the fact that that's all you picked up tells me that I failed on some level), it is merely a reaction to interacting with way too many people who only focus on the upside positive risks without fully understanding what they are getting into. To use your phrase, I seem to attract a lot of Westerners who think it is indeed "all sunshine and roses", for better or worse.
So it seems that you and I are facing opposite crowds. Without a venue like Seeking Alpha, I cannot imagine how we ever would have been able to share this with each other. But as Jon Springer has very accurately pointed out (here: http://seekingalpha.co...), Seeking Alpha is still quite limited in how it receives submissions regarding the realities of developing economies. So in the meantime we are forced to conform our articles to an editorial format that actually isn't appropriate at all.
Given your vantage point of living in Africa, Abegaz, I would also recommend you get in touch Nick Pardini, who is running emergingmarketinsider.com and I know would definitely be interested in the perspective of someone who can speak cogently from the standpoint of being physically based somewhere in Africa. Which country are you writing from by the way?Jan 17, 2013. 10:28 PM | 3 Likes |Link to Comment
Randy, I was trying to keep the headline from becoming too wordy. But otherwise I totally agree with you.

Abegaz, although you sound like a spambot, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt for the moment and assume there is indeed a human behind this comment. I'm not sure where you got the idea that I've never been to Africa. I have been there on a number of occasions advising clients in a variety of capacities. Admittedly my experience there is not widespread nor as long as my experience in Latin America or Asia. I also have never invested my own money directly in Africa. You can take these facts as a liability in my Africa knowledge in that I cannot speak from the experience of having profited or lost on a direct investment there; or you can consider it an asset that my lack of skin in the game informs better objectivity. The choice is entirely yours and I do not care which view you take.
As for generalities versus specifics, I certainly can get far more specific, but as I make a point to say above, I'm not using this article for digging into local minutiae of specific economies right now. I will do that at a later date. I do it this way because we all are vulnerable to information overload so there has to be a limit to how we apportion information in each successive dissemination. And to get specific later we need to agree on a few overview points first. If you're one of the people already ahead of the game, congratulations on that and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we look forward to learning from your experience and your own articles advancing the knowledge on the themes covered here as well as whatever other expertise you have to offer to the rest of us.Jan 15, 2013. 11:34 AM | 5 Likes |Link to Comment
Chris, actually I looked at exchange rates while putting this article together and have another chart showing relative performance of the above FX rates but ultimately decided not to include it here for two primary reasons. One, there are already a lot of charts here and I was trying to keep the graphic element a bit under control. Two, many of the FX regimes here are pegged in some form or another; but regardless of FX regime, the currency performance wasn't enough to have a material impact on any of my observations. For example, in some cases, the local currency appreciated against the US dollar in 2012, which actually results in a real growth rate further divergent from USD. In other cases where the local currency depreciated against the USD, it wasn't enough to make a significant enough impact on local stock market performance to take up more space commenting on here.

ATLANTA-July 30, 2012-Dell SecureWorks, an industry leader in information security services, has launched a new Advanced Threat Resource Center to help organizations detect, resist and successfully respond to advanced cyber threats. "Advanced Threats" are any in which a determined adversary is actively engaged in targeting and attacking an organization, whether it is for financial gain, intellectual property theft, intelligence collection or competitive advantage or is intended to harm an organization's reputation.
At the Advanced Threat Resource Center, information security leaders and professionals have access to a wide range of threat analyses, white papers, videos and webcasts that outline many of the techniques, tools and social engineering tactics hackers use to compromise organizations. This information allows organizations to gain knowledge of the different types of advanced threats, the ways advanced threat actors operate, the people and organizations they target, and the strategies and tactics they use to breach them.
"Our Counter Threat Unit research team, which is often the first in the security industry to identify emerging threats and new exploit techniques, has engaged with a diverse range of security leaders who are actively defending against advanced threats every day," said Jon Ramsey, Dell SecureWorks chief technology officer. "Collectively, we have assimilated a knowledge base that gives organizations a real-world guide on how to detect, resist, respond and mitigate the risks from these targeted threats."
Ramsey added, "This new resource center contains valuable tools that help demystify advanced threats. By understanding how these advanced threats operate, organizations can better protect themselves."
The Advanced Threat Resource Center can be found at http://go.secureworks.com/advancedthreats.

EnerVest officials are excited by early production results from Utica shale wells in Carroll and Stark counties.
Early results from a Carroll County well have EnerVest and EV Energy Partners "excited" about oil and gas production from Ohio's Utica shale.
Oil and liquid natural gas are flowing from the Cairns 5H well in Harrison Township, said Mark A. Houser, president or EV Energy and the executive vice president and chief operating officer of EnerVest. "It's actually performed a little better than expected."
EnerVest revealed production figures Monday on the Cairns well and more details about the Frank well in Marlboro Township. Earlier this month, EnerVest officials discussed Frank well production with investment analysts.
Areas throughout Ohio, including the East Canton Oil Field, have produced natural gas and some oil for more than 100 years. But early results from horizontal wells drilled into the Utica shale have surpassed the older wells. EnerVest joined Chesapeake, GulfPort and other companies in announcing strong results from early Utica wells.
Houser said oil and liquid gas production were good at both wells, as was dry natural-gas production. Companies are trying to target oil and liquid gases — butane, propane and ethane — areas because the liquids are more valuable than dry gas.
Houser cautioned that while drilling is in the early stages, EnerVest and other companies are impressed by the initial production from the Utica wells. "I think it speaks well for the future of the play," Houser said of the production numbers.
Tests indicate the Cairns 5H well can produce 1,690 barrels of oil equivalents in a 24-hour period. That breaks down to 729 barrels of oil, 587 barrels of gas liquids and 2.2 million cubic feet of dry gas per day.
The Frank well is producing 870 barrels of oil equivalents per day, with a mix 360 barrels of oil, 312 barrels of liquid gas and 1.2 million cubic feet of dry gas.
EnerVest generates nearly 25 percent of Ohio's leading oil and gas, ranking it as the state's leading producer. The company has more than 8,700 vertical wells in Ohio, including 1,900 in Stark County.

Gauteng traffic blitz yields resultsComment on this story
Johannesburg - A total of 37 Gauteng motorists have been arrested over the weekend for speeding, Gauteng traffic police said on Sunday.
Spokesperson Busaphi Nxumalu said eight people were arrested on Sunday morning on the R21.
She said a 42-year-old social worker driving a white Lexus was caught travelling at an average speed of 224km/h in 120km/h zone.
"The social worker from the Ekurhuleni municipality claimed he was rushing to the office to collect certain documents from his employer."
Nxumalu said the eight suspects who were arrested now face charges relating to reckless driving, speeding and drunken driving.
They will appear in the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Monday.
Meanwhile, Chief Superintendent Wayne Minnaar said patrolling Johannesburg metro police nabbed a total of 29 speeding motorists on the N1 from Friday midnight to Saturday midnight.
"A 26-year-old man was caught on Friday doing 250/km/h with his black Audi. He face charges of speeding and drunken driving."
Minnaar said the 29 suspects will appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's Court on Monday.
He warned that motorists who travel at high speed on the freeways will be caught. - Sapa

This article lists the components in the flue gas or exhaust gas produced by the combustion of natural gas (and similarly propane gas or liquefied natural gas (LNG) such as when gas is burned in a home heating appliance like a water heater or a heating boiler.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2015 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
A Guide to LP or Natural Gas Fired Appliance Combustion Products found in Flue Gas Exhaust
Natural gas, currently supplying about 22% of energy in the U.S., has been used as a fuel since its development by the Chinese more than 2500 years ago.
Today it is used in buildings for heating as well as for production of hot water and in some cases even for cooling. In industry gas is used as a heating fuel for many processes.
In the U.S. the first natural gas well was dug in Fredonia New York in 1821.
Perfect combustion of natural gas (Methane – CH4) produces only CO2 and water vapor The equation for the combustion of natural gas is CH4[g] + 2 O2[g] -> CO2[g] + 2 H2O[l] + 891 kJ
But this is a simplification since natural gas is not pure. Natural gas, as it is produced from a gas well, also contains ethane C2H6, propane C3H8, butaneC4H10, carbon dioxideCO2, nitrogen (N), helium (He), and hydrogen sulfide H2S.
Before it is distributed to consumers, ethane, propane, butane are removed from natural gas. Small quantities of other molecules may be produced during natural gas combustion than those in the "pure" case we listed above.
In the table shown here we list the relative quantities of combustion products produced when burning natural gas. the numbers are pounds produced per million Btus of NG burned:
Table of Combustion & Flue Gas Products in Natural Gas
-- from various information sources on natural gas. We anticipate that the combustion products from burning liquefied natural gas LNG and propane (C3H8) will be similar.
Note that
Normal natural gas combustion: In a practical sense in a home or office building if we are considering a small natural gas appliance such as a water heater, and provided that the equipment and its flue vent connector and chimney area all working correctly and that there is adequate combustion air, once the equipment has warmed up and draft is established, the system is producing CO2 and H2O (in the form of water vapor) and not much else that will be detected by the building occupants.
Imperfect (and unsafe) natural gas combustion, short on Oxygen from too little combustion air or from a chimney problem, will produce CO as well as nitrogen oxides (NOx), organic particulate material, and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Incomplete combustion of natural gas may also release un-burned methane CH4 itself.
The reason for the initial versus stabilized- burn CO level spec is that until the appliance heats up combustion is incomplete and higher levels of CO are produced.
The percentage makeup in flue gas from a gas fired water heater will probably not be given as a general overall standard in many references and by most onsite HVAC technicians or inspectors except in theoretical combustion instances because of the wide variability in equipment, vents, and chimneys.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Question: exposure limits for kerosene & diesel
(Jan 12, 2012) einar gislason said:
what is the allowable breathable levels of both kerosene and diesel when used in a space heater
Einar the exposure limits you seek are described at HEATING OIL EXPOSURE HAZARDS, LIMITS where we include health effects, exposure limits, and MSDS data for heating oil - which is essentially the same as diesel fuel. Because both Benzene and Kerosene are likley to be present together, typically an MSDS gives exposure limits for both as we excerpt from Irving Oil's Kerosene MSDS sheet (citation below):
The ACGIH-TLV exposure limit for Benzene is specified as:
The OSHA-PEL for Benzene is specified as
The ACGIG-TLV exposure limit for Kerosene is specified as:
An OSHA PEL for kerosene is not established.
Many oil companies and others provide an MSDS for Kerosene. An example from Irving Oil is given in the preceding link. - Retrieved 8/19/14 original source https://irvingoil.com/files/03500_Kerosene_-_English.pdf
Question: can an electric water heater produce methane gas?
Hello, I was reading your website about possible odors associated with systems in the home. Is it possible for an electric water heater to produce a methane gas? I have recently verified readings from a hot water line that had methane readings in the flammable ranges. Any input or information would be appreciated. Thanks, R.T.
Reply: an electric water heater does not naturally produce methane gas but there can be other methane gas sources in a building water supply and other odor sources in a water heater or in water supply
A competent onsite inspection by an expert usually finds additional clues that help accurately diagnose a problem with the water heater or with gas piping in the building, but none of these ought to involve methane induced into the water heater tank interior from the appliance or its fuel piping. And simply heating water does not innately produce methane gas.
An electric, or oil fired water heater does not produce methane gas (CH4). A gas fired water heater indeed uses a fuel gas that includes methane plus an odorant. However a gas-fired water heater might leak LP or natural gas into the air but as there is no under-water gas piping at a conventional water heater I'm doubtful that the fuel gas would be likely to leak directly into the water supply or hot water tank from the heater itself or its gas piping.
Watch out: in some public and private well water supplies methane gas from mining, natural gas drilling and removal from the earth, or other sources may result in high levels of methane gas entering well water.
We have moved the details of this discussion to METHANE GAS SOURCES
Watch out: If you do have methane gas in your water supply it could be dangerous, presenting a possible explosion hazard. But if methane is in your water supply, it ought to be present in both hot and cold water, though due to the temperature differences it might be more obvious in one than the other.

2005 Dodge Magnum • 220,000 miles
I've recently been traveling a lot for long distances and have been experiencing issues with overheating. It started with a check engine light and what looked like an electrical issue warning. Upon turning it off an back on, the electrical light went off. Later, I noticed overheating while stationary and the fans running loudly, almost like the fan turbo on a diesel truck. I noticed fluid spray and air leaking from what looks like a bleeder valve at the top where the radiator hose connects to a resivoir and the engine. I refilled the coolant and sealed off a leak in that resivoir, which worked for a few days and now it starts to overheat at times while speeding up.

October 18, 2012.
Part of the strategy of cooling systems is the water in the coolant can't be allowed to boil, but it commonly gets over 212 degrees. To raise the boiling point it has to be under pressure, (3 degrees higher for every pound of pressure). That's why we use a pressure cap on the radiator or reservoir. Wash the area then figure out what's spraying coolant and fix it. You may need to bleed air from the system once it's repaired.
