Obama's Strategic Confusion
His move on missile defense raises troubling questions.
President Obama's decision Thursday to abandon the so-called Third Site of missile defense systems in Poland and the Czech Republic already is generating fierce debate and causing great consternation. The decision is a slap to America's Polish and Czech allies, who had braved Russian intimidation in agreeing to host the sites. But Mr. Obama's step also will have profound implications on many of America's other alliances, especially in Asia.
One major problem is the flimsy strategic rationale offered by the administration for its decision. The cancellation of the Third Site supposedly is justifiable because Iran's long-range ballistic missile program is not sufficiently advanced to pose an immediate threat. But of course that is exactly when such a defensive system should be built, tested and put into operation. Such a system, along with other components of a multilayered missile defense, would discourage the Iranians from finishing such a program by convincing them it would not succeed. Instead the U.S. proposes an underfunded 10-year plan to address shorter-range threats. That the administration would offer such a shallow explanation for ending the Third Site sends a bad signal about the seriousness with which Mr. Obama views nuclear threats in general.
That is only one aspect of Mr. Obama's mistake, however, because the Third Site was only partly about missile defense. No one ever believed that the basing of radars in the Czech Republic and 10 interceptors in Poland was a masterstroke of defensive strategic geometry. The interceptors could indeed stop a handful of Iranian long-range ballistic missiles, but sea- or space-based technologies remained the ultimate goal.
Rather, a central purpose of missile defense in Europe, on the doorstep of Russia, was alliance building. Its virtue was that it persuaded America's allies that our common defense included a global ballistic missile defense system. In the near term it was to demonstrate that when it came to the threat posed by Iran, the U.S. and its NATO allies would stand together: Iran—aided and abetted by Russia—would not hold Europe hostage and the NATO powers would confront the threat of nuclear weapons in the hands of a radical Islamic regime. Mr. Obama's biggest mistake is that, just as the Third Site was meant to build alliances, its cancellation will undermine them.
This will set America's allies in Asia to worrying. After all, with the Obama administration having effectively abandoned Europe, what can allies in Asia, such as new Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama in Japan and President Ma Ying-jeou in Taiwan, take from Thursday's announcement?
Mr. Hatoyama will have to wonder how far the U.S.-Japanese security partnership now extends. The U.S. alliance with Japan, now into its seventh decade, is not one we can relinquish or take for granted. Yet Mr. Obama's Third Site move raises questions about whether the U.S. will be willing or able to help Japan address two significant threats: the military build-up within China, and North Korea's nuclear program. The best approach for everyone concerned would be for the U.S. and Japan to build defenses together that would protect both themselves and the rest of Asia. Yet absent such leadership from Washington, today Japan is being forced to develop alone a sea-based missile defense system to stop an attack on the Japanese homeland.
Meanwhile, Beijing's short- and medium-range missiles must certainly worry Taipei and Washington. Although there are enormous economic reasons for there to be good relations between mainland China and Taiwan, those missiles have been placed there for a reason. They are meant to warn Taiwan that military resistance will be futile and that under certain circumstances, the people on Taiwan could be obliterated. But serious U.S. discussion about missile defense for Taiwan is nowhere to be found and is now unlikely to happen.
The simple reality is that, absent a missile defense that can stop Chinese ballistic missiles, the U.S. will be hard pressed to maintain security commitments in Asia given the advances China has made to its offensive nuclear forces. The U.S. Seventh Fleet, however capable, cannot withstand the kind of nuclear missiles and nuclear-tipped cruise missiles that China could employ against it. And because America lacks adequate conventional military means as well, the U.S. would have to resort to full-scale nuclear war to defend its Asian allies from an attack by China. While no one would ever envision hostilities rising to this level, no serious policy maker can prefer this state of vulnerability to the kind of stability a robust defensive system provides. And this isn't even to discuss the threat posed by nuclear weapons in the hands of an unstable, unpredictable regime like Pyongyang.
Current land-based systems in Alaska and California can perhaps stop a handful of North Korean missiles launched at the West Coast of the U.S. But until the U.S. is prepared to build a multi-layered system—including using space-based interceptors—to stop any Russian or Chinese missile, the U.S. cannot truly defend the free world. During such time both Russia and China will be able to exert what influence they can since the U.S. appears unwilling to confront their objections even when it comes to America's national survival.
The cancellation of the Third Site demonstrates the Obama administration's complete confusion over strategic defense. Any real system would include the defense of the U.S. homeland and allies around the world. Such a system would be prepared to stop any ballistic missile that could cause the U.S. or its allies harm. With Mr. Obama's Third Site move, the U.S. is not merely abandoning a system to stop long-range Iranian ballistic missiles from hitting Europe but are also foregoing a system to stop Russian or Chinese ballistic missiles from destroying the U.S. Is it any wonder we can abandon Europe or Asian allies when we do not believe the American homeland worthy of defense?
This strategic vulnerability cannot last forever. Either the U.S. and its allies will realize the folly of their ways and build strategic defenses or a day will come when they will pay a heavy price.

Made To Order Wedding Gowns
Doing your research for your wedding gown you start to have a good idea on how your attire will look like, but while keep searching you realize that you are still not satisfied with the result. At a certain moment you even come up with the thought that all of the dresses look alike; you know, it's a silly thing to say that, but considering that you have spent so many hours in front of the PC still not getting what you want, this only means that all the sites you have visited display the same gowns over and over again.
First of all you haven't decided upon the theme of your wedding yet, you don't even know if you should choose one or not? In this matter not even your hubby is of any help till one evening when he comes over and you have dinner you start talking about the details of your wedding. You tell him that the clock is ticking showing that time is passing so quickly and it still finds you in state of indecision. He reminds you that it is useless to try to find now a theme for the wedding as long as the invitations had been already sent with no specification of any theme at all.
They were the classical wedding invitations with their standard wording and general driving instructions; but apart from these, nothing else. You have to admit that he is right; actually you have forgotten about the invitations, and since they had been created in the classical style you decide that your wedding to be designed in this way. Now that you have a start you feel more confident of what your will would be and begin researching on the Internet sites for classical wedding gown and your eyes are set on the Grace Kelly's wedding gown when she married Prince of Monaco.
The problem was that you could find only few versions of the dress and unfortunately they didn't fit your body sizes. You consider this a real bad luck; thinking that now you have finally met the dress you would like to wear, it is not possible to have because of the sizes offered by the fashion house that displayed the replica of Grace Kelly's wedding dress.
Though you don't like that they haven't respected the exact model of the dress, you still long for that one! Then your mother shows up and you share your wish to her. She says that there might be an option for you to choose from, that being the made to order wedding gowns, an alternative you haven't taken at all into account up to now. She says that a lot of couturieres are striving to hold their businesses offering the future brides the possibility to have made to order wedding gown.
Again you reach for your PC and start browsing. You find some sites, you browse through their products and follow your impulses on approaching them in your matter. You send your wish in regard to your wedding dress to several sites, asking them to see Grace Kelly' dress and calculate how much it would cost you if they make a dress according to your body sizes. All of them answered in a positive way saying that they agree to sew the dress for you, and delivered also a list of expenses based on their calculations. You end up by choosing the cheaper designer, as a wedding still have more things to be taken care of.11

Most desertification research focuses on degradation assessments without putting sufficient emphasis on prevention and mitigation strategies, although the concept of sustainable land management (SLM) is increasingly being acknowledged. A variety of already applied conservation measures exist at the local level, but they are not adequately recognised, evaluated and shared, either by land users, technicians, researchers, or policy makers. Likewise, collaboration between research and implementation is often insufficient. The aim of this paper is to present a new methodology for a participatory process of appraising and selecting desertification mitigation strategies, and to present first experiences from its application in the EU-funded DESIRE project. The methodology combines a collective learning and decision approach with the use of evaluated global best practices. In three parts, it moves through a concise process, starting with identifying land degradation and locally applied solutions in a stakeholder workshop, leading to assessing local solutions with a standardised evaluation tool, and ending with jointly selecting promising strategies for implementation with the help of a decision support tool. The methodology is currently being applied in 16 study sites. Preliminary analysis from the application of the first part of the methodology shows that the initial stakeholder workshop results in a good basis for stakeholder cooperation, and in promising land conservation practices for further assessment. Study site research teams appreciated the valuable results, as burning issues and promising options emerged from joint reflection. The methodology is suitable to initiate mutual learning among different stakeholder groups and to integrate local and scientific knowledge. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Aly Hazzaa, El Shorouk, Associated Press
CAIRO — Egypt's interim president announced Sunday that the country will hold presidential elections before parliamentary polls, promising that a rise in "dark terrorism" won't derail a transition to democracy following a July 3 popularly backed military coup.
The announcement, expected after weeks of speculation, comes as many think army chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi will run for president after leading the popularly coup that toppled Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
But Egypt remains dangerously divided, as seen in clashes Saturday that pitted security forces and civilians who back the interim government against Morsi, killing 49 people. There has also been a rise in militant attacks, including one on Sunday that killed three soldiers in the country's lawless Sinai Peninsula.
In a brief nationally televised speech, Interim President Adly Mansour said he will ask the Egypt's election commission to open the door for presidential candidates to register. Egypt's newly adopted constitution calls for the first election to be held within 90 days of its passage, or before the end of April, with the parliamentary polls held before end of July.
There have been growing calls for el-Sissi to run, with many among Egypt's turmoil-exhausted public saying only a strongman can deal with the country's myriads of problems, like restoring stability and legitimizing the interim government, installed after Morsi's ouster.
"The country needs a strong president, more than it needs a parliament or elected lawmakers," said Omar Gamaleddin, a Cairo resident. "This is a good decision."
The head of Al-Nour, the ultraconservative Islamist Salafi party, said putting the presidential election first is the consensus among political groups in Egypt. Younes Makhyoun told The Associated Press that his party had campaigned for keeping parliamentary elections first, but has accepted the majority decision.
"We would have preferred a parliament first so that the coming president doesn't combine legislative and executive powers at the same time," Makhyoun said. "We must now think of the future. ... The declared goal is that the people now need a president more than a parliament to have the leadership necessary to achieve stability."
Makhyoun said his party has not yet decided whether it will back a potential el-Sissi's bid for the presidency. He added that the next president is expected to deal with a number of challenges, including demands for social justice and more freedoms, as well as dealing with violent groups seeking to destabilize Egypt.
"We don't a president to do everything alone. We want to establish for the principle of a country of institutions, and not a president that works on his own," Makhyoun said.
The general has not yet made a formal announcement. He would have to quit his post as defense minister before launching a campaign for the presidency. Under the new constitution, a president can serve a maximum of two four-year terms.
Ecstatic crowds gathered across the country Saturday in government-sponsored rallies marking the third anniversary of the start of Egypt's 2011 revolution, with many openly calling for el-Sissi to run. But the celebrations competed with widespread clashes that struck across the country at the same time. Morsi supporters continue to contest the toppling of Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood-backed government.
Saturday's clashes killed at least 49 people, health officials said Sunday.
The interim authorities have responded with an intense crackdown on the continued protests, and are facing a surge in terrorist attacks, which they blame on the Brotherhood and its radical Islamist allies. The government has already labelled the Brotherhood as a terrorist group, a designation rebuffed by the group that insists it is pursuing peaceful means to challenge authorities.

Michael Peterson has walked out of a North Carolina jail, one day after a judge ordered a new trial in his wife's death.
Peterson posted the $300,000 secured bond set by Judge Orlando Hudson, who ruled that a key prosecution witness misled jurors about the strength of bloodstain evidence.
Speaking to reporters outside the Durham County jail on Thursday, Peterson said he'd waited eight years to get a new trial. He thanked Hudson for giving him a chance to vindicate himself and prove his innocence.
The 68-year-old Peterson was convicted of first-degree murder in the 2001 death of Kathleen Peterson, who was found at the bottom of a staircase in the couple's mansion.
Peterson has maintained his wife died in an accidental fall after drinking alcohol and taking Valium.

I would like to give it another chance. But now I am not quite sure about the correct steps I need to take.
For now I have some ideas:
I found a guy on Craigslist that is selling good used rear wheel (he said he put 200 miles) it's Alexrims with 32 spokes but more heavier and rigid then Mavic CPX22. It's $60 bucks investment. It's relatively cheap to give this a try... But in general if this doesn't work I honestly don't know what to do. I would like to continue commuting but maybe I need to change a lot...
Thanks for reading
I ride Shimano RS11, it's cheap for both wheels from MerlinCycles. It arrived in 5 days from the UK. The roads around here are really rough and wheels are still as true as when then arrived new. That's a cheap option for you.
Im going to be upgrading components eventually(:
It's the bianchi via nirone 7 -- retails for about 1200-1300 and was on sale at Planet Bicycle in Folsom Ca, plus an extra discount from the owner brought it down to $950. I picked up some other stuff (bianchi helmet, gloves..etc) so we walked out spending $1300 total.
I picked up two sports that my wife has encouraged a lot to get me out of the house and back in shape. Road Biking & Paintballing
Here's a pic of me in my paintball gear ;P I'm the one on the right --- BTW how are people posting larger pics? Whenever I try doing a link it says the file is to big?

My 18 month old son had fun riding the horse, getting his hand painted and walking around. However, the actual egg hunt was a bust. It lasted about 5 secs and he got one egg for his basket. Serenbe is a wonderful place, but the egg hunt needs to be a LOT better for us to come back to next year.

I just read that the Transportation Safety Administration is, as of today, prohibiting all liquids from carry-on luggage. "The TSA issued the directive early Thursday following the arrests in the United Kingdom of several people suspected of plotting to blow up aircraft flying from the UK to the United States. The TSA has raised the national alert level to orange, indicating its belief that some sort of threat against U.S. aviation still exists. The directive states that liquids or gels – including beverages, shampoo, suntan lotion, creams, toothpaste, hair gel and similar items – will not be allowed through screening checkpoints.

The huge earth formations are awesome, but also look out for the smaller offerings of the Valley of Fire. Here is Petrified Wood protected by a chain-link fence with a warning not to touch. While out in the desert it seems that there is little life of any kind, but a closer look will show that the desert is teeming with fauna and flora that is at once weird, beautiful and amazing. Don't miss these hiddent treasures.
Also, since these are Federally protected areas, you may not remove anything from the parks.
Ancient Indian Writings
The Lost City of Overton Museum of Archaeology was small, but interesting. There were many samples of the artifacts found at the "dig" with explanations of the life the Anasazi and other ancient people lived.
The original wing of the museum opened in 1935 and was filled with wonderful Anasazi artifacts. The new wing, featuring early man displays, information about the Paiute and the geology of the area was also intriguing for me and my sons.
Of course, the most exciting discoveries were the petroglyphs, which have been dated back over 3,000 years. Also a gift shop connected to the museum sold books, copies of discovered items as well as present day art work of the local Indians.
Pueblo Grande de Nevada was another name for this archeological site. The Pueblo foundation was discovered about 1930 and it was great fun for kids to explore!

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area is the first designated Conservation Area in Nevada. You'll a fantastic example of the earth's movements over the last two or three thousand years. Here you can drive though, hike the trails, climb the rocks, ride horses or mountain bikes, picnic or just observe nature. There is Visitor's Center and a book store . So, if your time in the area is short you might choose Red Rock Canyon NCA rather than The Valley of Fire which is about thrity some milse further.

Field Installation of a Mojave HeaterComments ON 2012 December 6
How easy is to install a Mojave heater from Flex-a-lite®? You can do it on location at an off-roadding event! We met Phil Novold of Max-Bilt at the Moab Easter Jeep Safari, and he looked awfully cold in his '53 Dodge M-37. So we grabbed our video camera and caught on film how he added heat to his cool 4x4 in just a few hours. Continue reading

Aged Pu-erh tea is created by secondary-oxidation and post-fermentation tea. This type of Pu-erh tea is referred to as ripened, or cooked, Pu-erh, which has a rich, mellow and earthy flavor. Unlike many other teas which should be consumed shortly after production, such as green and white teas, Pu-erh tea can either be brewed immediately or it can be stored and aged for many years, much like a fine wine. Most Pu-erh teas are classified by the year they were produced and the region they were grown in, much like many wine vintages. In fact, when it comes to Pu-erh tea, the longer it is stored and aged properly, the more complex the flavor and the more valuable the tea gets. Many aged Pu-erh teas are served in Chinese restaurants after heavy meals, as Pu-erh tea is known for it's ability to break down fat, also making it a great weight loss tea!
The tissue paper wrapped over the cake or brick can help to keep the tea dry and protect it from foreign flavor, but it is very thin and breakable. The tissue paper will wear and tear after long time's storage due to oxidization.You can place the Pu-erh tea in sealed bag or box to keep it from air.
Pu-erh tea gets its name from the region in China where it was first harvested, the city of Pu-erh in the Yunnan Province of China. Pu-erh tea is often classified as being a variety of tea by itself, and is sometimes classified at being a dark tea (dark tea is one of the six classes of tea in China), or as a type of black tea in the United States, although it is actually a variety by itself, such as green tea or white tea. Pu-erh tea is available as a loose leaf tea or in a compressed form such as tea cakes or tea bricks, or our TeaVivre miniature tea cakes.
Pu-erh tea is a wonderful tea for weight loss. It has been known for centuries for its ability to help break down fat in the body, digest fatty foods, increase your metabolism and reduce cholesterol levels in the blood. This tea is also ideal for those who are looking for long term weight loss maintenance when combined with a healthy diet. One scientific study shows that Pu-erh tea also contains polyphones which attack free radicals and toxins in the body, helping to prevent many diseases.
Our high grade Pu-erh tea is produced as it has been historically in the Yunnan Province of China, which has been a mecca for Pu-erh tea of the highest quality for over 800 years. The Yunnan Province is on the edge of Tibet, and has a very high elevation with warm summers producing abundant rainfall which gives these tea trees especially large, plump buds and leaves which are ideal for producing a premium Pu-erh tea.
Pu-erh tea is one of the oldest types of tea in China, with a history stretching back over 1,700 years to the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the tea was called Jing Cha. Pu-erh is named after the town of Pu-erh in the Yunnan province of China, which was the early trading center for this tea. Pu-erh has also been used as a bartering currency or dowry in parts of China. In Southwest China the famed Cha Ma Gu Dao - "Tea Horse Road" - was built especially to transport Pu-erh tea through the Himalayas to other countries and areas in Tibet.

You're reviewing: Ripened Aged Pu-erh Mini Tuocha
* Required Fields

This has potential to become my favorite "every day" pu-erh. It falls under "clasical" pu-erh taste, but is not as direct and strong as some other teas I have been drinking. One cake took well 9 or 10 one minute infusions. Great choice as weekend tea.
The tea has a rich, smokey, almost resin-like taste. My liquor was darker than the one showed above in the picture but all in all, very nice puerh tea. I like to use about 4 in my 24 oz teapot and steep it for a relatively shorter period of time for multiple times.
This was my first shou pu-erh I've ever tried and I really enjoyed it. The first steep had strong smoky flavors with a musky leather tones all about. All the way up to the fifth steep it was dark and strong. I like the package size as it's great for gongfu - just plop it in and brew. Throughout the entire steep there was leather, hay, mushrooms, and earth. I can easily see myself buying more of this.
This was one of my first mini tuocha and one of the teas that allowed me to try shou puerh. It isn't the highest quality pu but it is very conveniently packaged and works pretty well in a western style or gongfu. I got mushrooms, hay, and damp earth with this one. Holds up to multiple steeps.
I personally like it, but someone says that has "fish" aroma. Very strong taste, tipical of ripened puerh, maybe less sofisticated than a more value puerh.
Very dark color throughout almost all the steepings. The aroma is very, very earthy. As is the taste at first. About halfway through you really hit some sweet notes. Overall, not a bad tea, but not my favorite either.
Rich but mild leather scent, with the deeper earth-wood undertones coming through in the 2nd steep onwards. Very more-ish and drinkable, with a sweet and slightly malty aftertaste. Quite smooth and gentle - not overpowering - and very nice as a regular, everyday puer. A good quality and inexpensive tea, and I liked the ease of using the mini-tuochas (this is the first time I've bought minis and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality). I get about 5-6 full-bodied steeps out of one piece, brewing in short 30-60 second times in about 150-200ml of 100C water.
I just appreciate how effective and uncomplicated they are, always providing a good cup. The liquor is dark, some kind of purplish brown colour. The scent is reminiscent of damp soil and leather, heavy duty leather that worn saddles are made of. It's a rich cup, earthy, resinous and woody. It feels thick in the mouth. It has a sweet finish, very smooth, a bit of caramel notes emerge. I can see coffee lovers liking this a lot. It's a very accessible shou pu'erh, and that doesn't make it a generic tea with no personality, on the contrary, this is good quality. I keep it around at all time, it's also a good stomach ache helper.
Aroma: Earthy, wet soil Liquor Color: Deep rusty red Liquor Flavor: Full bodied, earthy, damp, smooth, slight sweetness Notes: Unwrapping these reminded me of little chocolate truffles. I placed one in a small tea pot, did a rinse, and brewed this western style for 3 minutes. Once I opened the tea pot, the leaves were loosened up in a way that reminded me of upturned soil. Even though the flavor didn't appeal to me too much, I have to say, it was interesting and unique. Sip by sip I was transported to a forest, early in the morning with dew still on the ground. I could smell the earthy dampness, and felt the soil beneath my feet. Mushrooms were spread all over the ground. The air was crisp and refreshing. This tuocha was a very visual experience for me. I'm excited to try others to see if I can really take in the whole experience.
Dark red almost black in color with a woodsy aroma. I taste earth, wood, and leather. This tea was a little too leathery for my taste.
Reply: Hi Carrie, Thank you for your question. Usually our Ripened Aged pu-erh mini tuo cha can be 4-5 times. And yes, you can re-brew it repeatedly in a day. However, I suggest you not re-brew it overnight. And I'm not sure why your doctor warn you not to infuse more than twice, if he mean that you can only drink the tea once a day, then I think you may waste some tea anyway. OR maybe you can brew tea lightly. Ripened pu erh tea is a post-fermented tea, and the caffeine content is relatively low. If you are sensitive to it, you can drink it during the day, not drink it before your bed time. Hope this is helpful to your concern.
Reply: You may just leave it in the water. There is no need to rip or break the mini cake. It will spread out gradually during brewing.
Reply: Almost, there is no difference between them. We recommend that you choose the hot, it is better for your intestines and stomach.
Reply: For the one pu-erh cake(Tuo cha) can be infused 4~5 times.
Reply: Hi Stoo, for Ripened Aged Pu-erh Mini Tuocha, 3.5 ounces include about 20-22 pieces.

These colours mean that the winter isn't wide any more.
But the picture is beautiful.
Best wishes
Susanne u. Bernd ~ Hi Bernd ~ Winter will come what ever we say or do ~ we can only hope for a mild one ~ Thanks for your like and compliment ~ Very best wishes to you ~ nick
Splendid colour, beautifully offset by the architecture of the dark branches (well, I know what I mean!). Like Best wishes. Andy (I see these were uploaded yesterday - only just appeared a few minyutes ago!)
Andy Rodker, I like this autumn colour too Andy and again like you I love the branches that drew me into the shot ~ How strange that they only appeared to you a few minutes ago ~ weird ~ I received the first comment yesterday and they all seemed to upload OK my end and were all visable ~ Thanks for another like ~ all the best ~ nick
Thanks Nick. Yes, I occasionally get them straight away but normally anything up to 24 hours later. It was ever thus - no idea why.
The frustrating thing is that I had time to kill yesterday and I decided to catch up on Pano - but no (or very few) photos came through - They all came through in a rush this evening when I don't really have the time! :-(
Best wishes, Andy
Great combination of light and the most beautiful autumn colors. excellent shot LIKE
Andreas Sw ~ Thank you very much for your kind comments and like ~ Friendly greetings ~ nick
Magnificent tree and beautiful colours. Regards Derek
Derek Geer ~ Thanks Derek yes this tree simply drew me into it ~ All the best ~ nick
Stunning maple Nick. any shots left for me steve
steve111 Sorry mate all of the leaves will be gone now as we had very high winds this week :(
Perfect palette and lighting. I think the curving composition makes it something special. Very good you found the way back to upload this. Greetings ( by someone lost in the fog today :)
sixten_imgs ~ Sorry to read you are suffering in fog today ~ we have greyness and drizzle with the promise of more heavy rain tomorrow ~ So we are all having a crap weekend ~ Hopefully Brazil and F1 might bring some good entertainment ~ This tree is one of the first things you see as you enter the garden and look to the right (Look to the left and you have some dazzling Red Maples) The only way to escape the throngs of people with cameras is to dive deep and high into the tree. I had a photographer to the left of me for example who showed no respect or consideration and he simply walked straight in front of me ignoring my tripod and camera to get his shots in first :)) Hey ho it is every man for himself at times. Luckily the gardens are large enough that people soon spread out and find their own space and the vast majority are thoughtful and considerate. Of course with so much beauty around the place I guess it is understandable that some people get carried away. Thanks for your perceptive comments and I hope the fog lifts ~~~ All the best ~ nick
Not a big fog problem, Nick. Actually I was extremely happy in the morning to see it: "Yeah, finally fog photos to me too!". Unfortunately the Sun didn't understand that at all :) . So, Brazil and F1 sounds a winning combination here too!
Must admit it really is sometimes too easy to get carried away by the photography. Too much people seldom are a problem here. Usually it is "hey, where did they all disappear?"
Really like this one! Great shot
Greetings, Gligo
Gligo Hello Gligo and I'm so pleased that you like this shot as much as you do ~ Thank you ~ Best wishes ~ nick

Governors play
a key role at University Hospitals Bristol in
helping to guide the development of
services, holding the Directors to
account, and acting as guardians for the Trust's
values and standards.
Most governors are elected from the Foundation
Trust Membership. Elected governors are also responsible for
representing the interests of their members and members of
the public.
What are the formal responsibilities
of governors?
To carry out their role effectively, governors
have a responsibility to:
If you are interested in becoming a governor,
please take a look at our Election pages and our Frequently Asked Questions.
For more information, please contact us. If you would like to come to a
Council of Governors meeting, papers and dates of future meetings
can be found here.
The Health and Social Care Act 2012 modified the
role of the governors from "holding the Board to account for the
performance of the Trust" to "holding the Non-Executive Directors
to account for the performance of the Board". The Board's
performance can be judged by the way in which it maintains
compliance with the Monitor Provider License.
In addition to their core duties, governors take an
interest in some of the more operational aspects of the Trusts, and
use the Governors' Log of Communications to ask questions about
these matters from time to time. Examples of these "ad hoc"
questions are given here. Governors' questions
are published in each set of minutes of the Council of Governors
meeting, which are available to read here:
If you would like to contact the Governors please telephone the
Membership Office by phone on (0117) 3423764.

Nokia acquired Smarterphone in November for feature phone OS
Reports are emerging that Nokia had acquired Smarterphone, a company that specializes in feature phone OS and enables Facebook, YouTube and other popular services on basic phones. The acquisition took place in November last year, though Nokia has not yet issued a press release or statement about the deal. Last heard, Nokia was working on its own feature phone OS, Meltimi, to replace its Series 40 OS.
Smarterphone provides a complete and licensable software solution for massmarket smart phones, Smarterphone OS, preintegrating all software components and applications, enables manufacturers to rapidly create lowcost handsets with features and functionality similar to that found in expensive high end smartphones. The solution is turnkey, whereby Smarterphone takes the software through all phases all the way up to carrier acceptance.
It could be a case where Nokia figured out it would be easier (and faster) to acquire an existing platform than developing something of its own. This is not the first time for Nokia to do such a deal as it shelved its own next-gen platform, MeeGo, and opted to go with Microsoft's Windows Phone OS. Yesterday, rumors indicated Microsoft was looking at acquiring Nokia's smartphone biz, which would leave Nokia with just its mobile phone division, Navteq and Nokia Siemens telecom network business. Last year, Nokia outsourced Symbian to Accenture.
Industry insider and analyst, Eldar Murtazin, chips in with his two cents. He believes that Smarterphone OS will replace S30 while Meltemi will take care of S40.
