I am a bit tardy getting my March calendar pages posted, but I have actually started it, I have just had an adversion to going through the process of scanning the pages etc.
I rather slopped this page together in my new journal - I love filling in the little squares, but my creative energy has been focussed elsewhere.
Thanks to everyone who was so encouraging after my last blog, ` I quickly came to a decision after writing it. I have decided not to registar on a college course, but to try to follow my own path taking part in as many workshops as I can, buy books, build up my local contacts and set myself goals. When I began this blog with the sub-heading "chronicles of a mature learner" so that is what I am going be doing. Watch this space.
I took advantage of the sun this afternoon, so join me and Marvin in the garden.
Have a great weekend,

SEPTEMBER 2011 – SOUTHEAST EUROPE: PEOPLE AND CULTUREWelcome to the September newsletter edition of Southeast Europe: People and Culture! As autumn approaches, the Cultural Journey has taken a cinematic turn. After classic and modern films at the Aye Aye Festival in France in early September, we have just returned from the Helsinki International Film Festival, where the Festival's dedicated 'Balkanize' section screened the Finnish premieres of Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Once Upon a Time in Anatolia and Serbian director Dejan Zecevi's The Enemy, together with other modern masterpieces. |
THIS MONTH'S NEW FEATURESThis month we invite you to become acquainted with an amazing and successful designer from Albania, Joni Peçi, who incorporates the traditional elements of xhubleta, folk costumes from northern Albania, into his modern clothing design aesthetic. Based on his success, Peçi founded the Joni Peçi Fashion Group, which supports young people in the fields of art and in particular fashion. |
Joni Peçi Brings Tradition to the Catwalk "I have always intended to embody originality in my clothes. What could be more original than our traditional costumes?" says Joni Peçi, a young designer from Albania who calls xhubleta, local traditional costumes, his muse. His designs are worn for example by the world-famous soprano, Inva Mula, in her performances. Peçi believes that the forms of xhubleta can make women all over the world feel feminine. "It looks so good on each and every woman," he says. The Return of the Turkish Comic Book Heroes While Turkish comic book aficionados enjoy following the adventures of foreign characters such as Tintin, local comic book heroes such as Tarkan, Karaoğlan, and HeroTürk play an essential role in Turkey's pop culture. Even comics from the 1960s and 1970s are finding a huge number of new readers.
WHAT'S ONMESS Sarajevo International Theatre Festival, Bosnia and Herzegovina Vis regatta, Croatia |
RECIPE FROM THE REGIONThis month's recipe is Two Layered Pie with Saç from Albania. Hearty and filling and with a wide range of possible ingredients, this pie is a delight throughout the whole year.

Last night an investigative television series was launched in France without its starring item: a critical examination of the President's security arrangements. It was considered too sensitive for the current climate and was withdrawn.
On Friday an episode of a popular police drama, Commissaire Moulin, was replaced as being likely to "sow panic" about the terrorist threat. Both were casualties of the nationwide alert introduced after the most recent terrorist attack, on a Jewish school near Lyon.
Two months after the first bomb, which killed seven people and injured 80 at St Michel Metro station in Paris, a big security operation continues and with it a progressive curtailment of accepted freedoms. It is not just that there are troops and riot police on the streets of many cities, nor that rigid precautions are in force around public buildings, nor that controls on all French borders have risen to a severity that reminds some travellers of the former East Germany. It is rather that so many of the precautions now in force under the state of alert are unpublished and cannot be challenged.
Last week, in an overt act of censorship rarely associated with France, the Interior Minister, Jean-Louis Debre, banned a book. It was the White Book on Repression in Algeria, 1991-1994, castigating restrictions and excesses by the French-backed government. The reason given was that the book was an "incitement to hatred" and "could threaten public order". The book comprises case-studies and eye-witness accounts. A journalist on Le Monde who has seen a copy said the minister's arguments "risk not convincing the world of publishing".
Some curbs are doubtless ordained by the security provisions. Others seem to be the result of psychological pressure exerted on the media by, among others, the President. In his television address on 5 September, just before France conducted its latest nuclear test, Jacques Chirac said he was worried by some of the reporting of the terrorist attacks, suggesting that it verged on the sensational and could foster a "psychosis of fear".
The result was an emergency meeting of the broadcasting commission and a noticeable drop in all reporting about terrorism, together with the observance of something akin to a "party line": much talk of distinguishing fundamentalism from Islam, still more talk about inter-religious harmony - and the banning of last night's television feature on the President's security.
Every day thousands of people, most of them of North African appearance, are stopped and searched while going about their normal daily business. At the last count, given by the Interior Minister last week, close to 1 million people had been stopped since the St Michel bombing.
Several callers to a recent phone-in on a radio station for North African listeners said they understood the reasons for the checks and were "proud" to show their ID papers. Other reports suggest the checks are causing increasing friction between some Muslim communities and the police. Last week it also emerged that Paris Charles de Gaulle airport was laying off 30 of its non-French, non-EU, employees, citing the new security provisions. Those affected included North Africans and also Filipinos and others.
Since the Lyon attack, four sets of early-morning raids have been reported, one in and around Paris, two around Lyon and one near Grenoble. Three people arrested near Lyon were brought to Paris and questioned. It is not known exactly how many more of the more than 30 detained are still being held: "at least three" is the only information released. The lack of information - all aspects of the anti-terrorist inquiry are classified - is one side of the coin. The other is the selective way in which information is provided. After the second Lyon raid, police issued photographs and the name of a suspect whose fingerprints were said to have been found on an unexploded bomb on the railway line near Lyon. In 24 hours the media were full of profiles of Khaled Kelkal. Even allowing for differences between the French and British legal systems, his chances of a fair hearing if detained look slim. The accuracy of the information, or where it came from, has hardly been challenged.

I love Europe. Each year, The Better Half and I take our Christmas savings and instead of buying each other gifts, we hop on a plane and fly to some combination of European countries. Last year, we headed to Brussels and Paris. This year, we'll head to London and Paris. So we've eaten at our share of European cafes in a variety of settings, and whenever we come back to Cincinnati, we long for a similar experience. To be honest? We get a little homesick for Paris in particular, and we're just looking for a fix for our next trip. JeanRo Bistro tried, but never quite got it right. Other places have tried as well, but at no point have I felt like I was transported somewhere else for just a little while. Jean-Francois Flechet, whose waffles I've been eating since he was a one-man stand at Findlay recently opened a Belgian-style cafe at the corner of 12th and Vine in Over-the-Rhine. The number one factor in making a cafe feel European? Put it in a neighborhood that has a bit of a European feel. Sure, you'd probably never see the wildly-colored Duncanson building in Brussels, but the architecture and old-world feel is there. The room combines bright white, brick, and lots of sunlight– it feels warm and familiar.
I was a bit curious about the "Belgian-style" cafe: would this be an Americanized version, as his two previous restaurants have been, or would he simply introduce Belgian cooking to Cincinnatians? Thankfully, he's done the latter. Though there are certainly some American-style foods on the menu (Goetta crepes, anyone? Or cake pops?) there is a wide variety of not-so-familiar foods as well. Flechet takes his favorite Liégeoise dishes and doesn't try to Americanize them; instead he makes you fall in love with them.
First, you're probably wondering about his waffles and chicken, as they've been the talk of the town since he opened. This is the most American dish on the menu, and honestly, my least favorite. Though the chicken is juicy and lightly breaded, and the Buffalo-style sauce and condiments delicious, to me the combination of the chicken and the waffle is just a little much (and I love his dense, sugary waffles). The three times I've been at the restaurant, they've been flying out of the kitchen (no pun intended) so clearly they're a best seller. When I visit, I prefer to focus on the Belgian-style dishes, personally. That will just leave more waffles and chicken for you. There are also waffle sandwich specials, which I've tried (the post-Thanksgiving turkey and cranberry one was good) but again, I'd rather eat the waffle alone. I'm a purist.
My favorite dish is the salad Liégeoise: a combination of potatoes, green beans, bacon and onions in a vinegar-y dressing. If you're familiar with German potato salad, it's very similar to this, but in my opinion, much better and fresher-tasting. It's a wintry salad– served warm, and more substantial than the typical salad you'll find here. I've had it twice: the first time was perfect, with a nice tang of vinegar to balance the bacon; the second time a bit less tangy, but still good.
Stoemp is another traditional Belgian dish: basically mashed potatoes with a variety of additions that, at Taste of Belgium, change by the day. The day I tried it, it had roasted red pepper and cilantro. Stoemp is smooth and creamy without being too buttery or cream-filled: it does not feel heavy, like American mashed potatoes.
The boulets Liégeoise, or Liége-style meatballs, are very reminiscent of dishes we've had in Belgium and the Netherlands (all of that Flemish influence, you see). You get a couple of large meatballs topped with sirop de Liége (which we had to look up– it's a syrup of apples and pears. The seasoning in the meatball is unique– according to Chrissy the lovely bartender, there's a lot of marjoram in it– and the flavor is richer than a Swedish or Italian meatball. It makes me wonder what the meat mixture is– I'm guessing it has some unexpected cuts. You simply must order the frites, cooked in beef tallow, to dip in the sirop de Liége (or the excellent chipotle mayo they come with). They are vying for the best fries in town right now– they are crispy and flavorful (and also come in a vegan version). The first two times I went in, I came out smelling like tallow (you could see a haze), but it seems that some improvements have been made to the ventilation system and the last time I was in, no problem at all.
Just recently, Taste of Belgium acquired a liquor license and now serves Belgian beers: Chimay rouge, Chimay blanche, a beer labeled "Taste of Belgium" (another Belgian wheat, I believe) and a beer that is currently only sold in the US at Taste of Belgium: blanche de Bruxelles, which you see all over Brussels and is distinctive with its tap depicting the Mannekin Pis, an impish little statue of a baby… well, urinating. It's a really popular spot in Brussels (and I think is indicative of the Belgian sense of humor).
Service is friendly– I tend to sit at the bar and let one of the great bartenders/baristas suggest things on the menu (they haven't steered me wrong). Expect to wait on Saturday, particularly after the Queen City Underground tours finish– I've seen lines out the door. Taste of Belgium will open next Tuesday with a full dinner menu, and is open this week for breakfast and lunch, Monday-Saturday. They're closed Sunday (which is a shame, as it would be an excellent brunch choice on a block with few brunch choices).
Mannequin PIs!!!! I haven't had this in 10 years. Wow, I'm really excited now . (I'm sure the food is great, too 😉
This review isdelicious!! Most of the time in year I need to stay on Italy and for that I'm become a great fan of European foods. Never been Belgium before but next year I've to there too. Thus I'll visit the cafe you mentioned here, to taste these delicious piece if heaven. Thanks and take care.
The food here is AMAZING! The goetta crepe and goetta hash are insanely delicious for breakfast. Its so nice to stop in for a fruit and creme waffle and a coffee on a saturday morning!
Great Belgian Beer Selection.
very true, Bill!
I think I'll definitely be checking this out when I'm in town over the holidays! However, this article is mistaken that this is the only place to buy Blanch de Bruxelles in the US. It is sold at a Belgian restaurant in Denver.
Interesting– was told there was only one. I guess I can change that to "one of two".
and a few places in DC. First time it's been on tap in Cincinnati 🙂
Which is great! Last time I listen to distributors. 😉
When I was there a few weeks ago, they didn't have Blanch de Bruxelles. We were told they ran out of it after only a few days, and no idea if or when they'd get it in again….
I noticed them tweet a special on it the other day so they must have it back in.
First things first: I am Belgian myself, although I've lived in Cincinnati for 20+ years. I've known Jean-Francois for years, and I've always been hoping that one day he'd open a full-fletched Belgian bistro, not unlike some I've enjoyed in DC and New York. Was delighted to hear that he finally did it. I had lunch there yesterday, and a couple of thoughts: first things first: let there me no mistake, this is the real deal, not some Americanized version. Secondly, the dinner menu looks to be even more appealing (to me anyway) than the lunch menu: fondu permesan, vol au vent, carbonnades, etc. etc. It looks amazing. The beer selection is very impressive. Will have dinner there this coming Saturyday and will drop a few more thoughts on that afterwards.
had dinner there on Saturday. The food was generally speaking outstanding. We had vol au vent (with frites on the side), fondu parmesan, carbonnade, and the mushroom appetizer. Yum! Our waitress was terrible, though. She cleary did not understand the dishes (or the beers) and worst of all, ALL of the food (appertizers AND main dish) were brought out athe same time> inexcusable. When i suggested that this was not good, she looked at me helplessly and so we decided to let it go. It culd've been a veryspecial evening but because of that it wasn't. The atmosphere was great, although it would be nice if they actually turned up the heat in there, it was barely warm enough. But bottom line, the food was great and I'm sure I'll be back thre on many occasions.

I have a community of startups/entrepreneurs, mentors, and investors I want to connect in an engaging way: give them updates, job board, events calendar, discussion boards. Google groups used to, sorta be a way of doing this. And I know there are a ton of white label social networking apps. Anything anyone's used recently that's particularly well designed, usable, and useful?

William Tallman, far right in photo, played prosecutor Hamilton Burger on TV's "Perry Mason" and, while dying of lung cancer, made anti-smoking TV commercials in the 1060s. In a marketing coup, Jane Russell later lent her name to a so-called 18-hour bra. Who knew?

Learning how to read the water
Finding fish is the first step to a successful outing. In moving water, predatory fish hold in the same types of places whether they are trout or smallmouth bass.
Fish in streams and rivers have two primary survival motives: 1) Finding shelter from the current and from predators; and 2) maximizing feeding opportunities.
Generally, there is more food in faster current because, like a conveyor belt, faster current moves more food toward the stationary feeding fish. However, trout, bass, and other predators must expend more energy in fast current, and if there's not much drifting or swimming food, the effort may not be worthwhile.
In addition to shelter from the current (and access to food), bass and trout require protection from predators such as otters, osprey and other birds of prey, wading birds such as herons, and humans. Large bass and trout are often conditioned to hold in places that are difficult to reach—under an undercut bank, under a weed mat, under an overhanging tree branch, at the bottom of a deep hole, or behind a rock in fast whitewater. All these places offer both feeding opportunities and shelter from predators.
Because of this constant balancing act, the most logical and obvious places to start looking for trout in moving water are areas where there is a current change—places where trout can sit in slower water, yet have close access to faster water, where they can dart out, grab a food item, and return to their holding spot.
Be aware that these holding spots are not equally productive at all times of the day and in all seasons. A shallow flat that is barren all day long may be the hunting ground for large browns at night when darkness provides the "protection from predators" condition.
Cold water lowers fish metabolism, causing them to feed less and seek water where they expend less energy, therefore favored wintering holes are slow and deep.
In the spring when water temperatures rise, fish feed heavily and move into areas with better access to food. When summer water temperatures rise into the 60s and higher, the oxygen content of the water becomes a factor, and trout move into the riffles and fast water where there is plenty of food and the water is well oxygenated.
Here is a short list of the best spots to find trout and bass:
Undercut banks. A stream or river erodes softer soil layers while the hard-packed top layers—often held together by grass or other vegetation—remain intact. The result is an undercut bank: a trout hotel favored by big trout. They hide from the sun and overhead predators and occasionally dart out into the current to a grab grasshoppers, stonefly nymphs, or prey fish.
It's difficult to get at these fish from directly above since when you walk on the undercut bank, fish can detect your footstep vibrations, and they may spook or develop lockjaw. The best way to present a fly to fish holding under an undercut bank is to wade from the opposite shore or, in a larger river, to drift in a boat and cast as close to the undercut as possible.
Whether you are fishing nymphs or streamers, try not to retrieve the fly away from the undercut too quickly. Dead-drift the fly alongside the undercut, or retrieve it upstream or downstream parallel to the undercut to expose the fly to as much of the undercut for as long as possible. You don't know exactly where the big trout are holding, and sometimes an undercut can run for a hundred feet or more.
Overhanging vegetation. Overhanging tree branches and shrubs provide cover from airborne predators and, as a bonus, they frequently drop terrestrials such as ants, beetles, and inchworms into the water, so consider using these types of fly patterns. If the branches are over the water—but not in the water—it's often possible to cast a dry fly upstream and drift it right under the branches. You can also do this with wet flies such as nymphs and streamers—cast upstream of the tree limbs, and drift the fly under the branches where you suspect the fish may be holding.
If the branches are dragging in the water, getting your flies to the fish is much more difficult. Dry flies usually won't work unless you approach from downstream and cast upstream as closely behind the branches as possible. Sometimes you can still drift wet flies under the dragging limbs, especially if they are only partially submerged and you cast well upstream allowing plenty of time for the flies to sink.
Backeddy. The current in a backeddy is circular. Near shore, the current often moves in the opposite direction of the main current, and fish facing into the current are facing the "wrong" direction in relation to the rest of the fish in the river. It can be difficult to get a dead-drift in a circular backeddy, but the rewards are great: backeddies can hold enormous numbers of fish, especially in fertile spring creeks and large tailwaters.
Behind a rock. A large midstream boulder is a frequent feeding spot for trout because the rock provides a strong current flowing from both sides, and a sheltered spot to sit and watch for food. To catch trout directly behind the rock, cast your fly upstream of the rock and allow it to drift in the current to one side of the rock or the other just as a natural food item would.
Sometimes trout hold well downstream of the rock. In these cases you can cast behind the rock and drift your flies down the current seam until the seam disappears.
In front of a rock. When flowing water hits the front of a rock it pauses for an instant before the water pushing from behind forces it to flow around the rock. This dead zone—often described by angling writers as a "pillow" or "cushion" of water—is an easy spot for fish to sit and wait for food. It is less turbulent, so it's both easier for the trout to see food drifting toward it, and easier for you to spot the fish if the water is clear and shallow enough.
The spot in front of a rock is not a great "holding" spot like a deep pool or even behind a rock. This position is generally only used by fish that are actively feeding. Approach carefully from below and slightly to the side so the fish can't see you. Cast upstream of the rock and allow the fly to dead-drift directly toward the fish. To avoid snagging the rock and losing your opportunity, begin with dry flies and then switch to lightly weighted emergers and nymphs before trying more heavily weighted nymphs or streamers.
Current seams. Wherever a tributary or sidechannel enters a main river; where two currents meet below a rock, gravel bar, or island; or where the current tumbles around an obstruction along the river bank, there is a current seam where two opposing currents collide or where fast current meets slower current.
Trout and bass sit along these seams, using the break in the current to avoid expending energy, yet using the nearby
current to bring them food. To catch these fish, your flies should drift directly down the seam like a natural food item.
Head of a pool. A pool is a wider area of a stream or river where the water is also generally deeper and slower. By definition, the area above the pool is constricted some way—either by a narrow stream channel or a shallow (yet wide) riffle. Where this constriction loosens is the head of the pool and it's a major break in both the current speed and depth.
Fish gather at the head of the pool to feed on the food pouring in from the riffle or faster water upstream. In small mountain streams, the head of a pool is often a plunge pool, where water falls over boulders into deeper water below. Trout pick out these areas as both prime feeding and holding areas.
Tail of a pool. The gut of a pool—the deep, dark area in the middle—is a fine place for fish to hide and rest. When they decide to feed, they move to the head of the pool (see above) or drop to the tail of the pool where the water speeds up and is shallower.
When there is a hatch, the shallow tail of the pool can provide excellent fishing because the trout remain on the bottom and still have easy access to the hatching insects drifting overhead. However, the tail of a pool can be a tricky place to get a drag-free drift because you often approach from below, stand in a fast riffle, and cast upstream into much slower water at the tail of the pool. The fast water in the riffle pulls on the line, and can cause dramatic drag if you don't get enough slack into the line.
Tributary. Small streams entering the main river can bring cooler water and additional food sources. They can also produce a current seam fish use to feed. Pay particular attention to these places in the summer when the main river warms and fish gather near the cool inflows. Avoid these places in the spring or after heavy rain when they flood with muddy water.
Bank obstructions. When you drift down a big river in a drift boat, you often "pound the banks" with streamers, nymphs, or big dry flies. While many new fly fishers tend to wade too deeply and focus on the middle of the river, expert anglers know that on big rivers especially, trout avoid the heavy current in the center of the river and use obstructions along the bank to give them both relief from the current and excellent feeding opportunities. Fallen clumps of grass and soil, downed logs, streamside rocks and boulders, irregularities in the bank, fences in the river, bridge abutments, and other debris along the bank all create breaks in the current, and as a result, current seams where fish hold.
Depth changes. Knowing the contours of a river bottom can help you catch more fish. When the water is low and clear, pay attention to the potholes, depressions, and gravel bars that form the terrain of the river bottom.
When the water is higher or off-color, you can use this information to catch fish lying in the deeper spots, feeding on food items passing overhead. Remember that the water on top of the river travels much faster than the water on the bottom, and the water in depressions along the bottom can be nearly motionless, while faster water rushes past overhead.
Riffles. Fish in the riffles are hungry. They aren't there to rest or avoid predators, they are there to feed, and because food drifts past quickly, they have little time to inspect and consider your fly when it drifts past them. Relative to fish in flat, slow water, trout and bass in the riffles are easy to catch. In the riffles, use large, heavily hackled and/or foam dry flies that are extremely buoyant and easy for the trout to pick out and attack.
The bumpy water on the surface of the riffle is caused by numerous rocks and gravel undulations along the bottom. While riffle water might seem fast, obstructions create a slow zone on the bottom. If you are using nymphs, make sure you use enough weight—usually split-shot—to sink the flies quickly and drift them slowly along the river bottom. Your flies should travel slower than the surface currents, therefore your indicator—if you are using one—should actually appear to be dragging to indicate that your nymphs are moving slowly.
When streamer fishing, the turbulence of the water adds all the movement you need. Because of the erratic current in a riffle, trout sometimes have trouble tracking and eating the fly, and may not bother to chase a food item that appears to be swimming too quickly or strongly. Move the fly slowly (from your vantage point) and keep a tight line so that you don't miss the strike.

Q.: We are bidding a concrete project on which slump doesn't seem to be specified. In the specifications there is reference to ACI 301, "Specifications for Structural Concrete for Buildings," and to ASTM C 143, Standard Test Method for Slump of Hydraulic Cement Concrete. The test method tells how to run the slump test but doesn't tell what slump is required for different types of construction. Is there any guideline for slump in this situation?
A.: Section 3.5 of ACI 301 deals with this situation. Unless otherwise permitted or specified, the concrete should be proportioned and produced to have a slump of 4 inches or less if it's to be consolidated by vibration. If it's consolidated any other way, the slump should be 5 inches or less. A tolerance of up to 1 inch above the maximum indicated is allowed for one batch in any five consecutive batches tested. Concrete of lower than usual slump may be used provided it is properly placed and consolidated. It's probably a good idea to confirm with the specifier that the lack of a slump specification isn't an oversight and that he'll permit the use of 4- or 5-inch-slump concrete.

I've mentioned Topkapi a number of times in the past. It's airing again tonight at 10:15 PM as part of TCM's look at heist and caper movies. What I don't think I've mentioned any of those times is that it's only available on an out-of-print DVD, at least, here in the States. Looking at the IMDb information, Topkapi is one of those movies that was distributed by United Artists, so you never really know who's likely to have the rights nowadays. The DVD was by MGM Home Entertainment, and if memory serves they got the rights to a lot of UA stuff after divesting the classic MGM library to Ted Turner. Topkapi isn't quite my favorite, but I do think it's one of those movies that ought to be in print on DVD.
The other one of tonight's movies that's not available on DVD is Cairo, airing overnight at 2:15 AM. The one thing interesting about Cairo is that it's a remake more or less of The Asphalt Jungle, except with the action moved to Egypt and the thieves trying to rob the Egyptian Museum. I'm not of the school that thinks that movies should never be remade, especially as I think there are some good 1930s stories that could use a remake with today's superior audio technology. But just because you can do a remake doesn't automatically mean that you're going to come up with a better movie than the original, and Cairo is proof positive of that.

When we took our first look at the AMD 785G chipset in the shape of the Asus M4A785TD-V EVO we were generally quite pleased. The 785G is not much more than a makeover for 780G but the new chipset performs well. We would be happier if the 785G had the higher 700MHz clock speed of the 790GX, rather than the 500MHz speed that it shares with the original 780G, but we found the Asus board would overclock to 700MHz quite easily. In the meantime the 785G supports Socket AM3 CPUs, the graphics support DirectX 10.1 and the chipset contains dual movie decoders.
To our mind this makes the 785G a natural contender for media centre PCs and small, highly integrated PCs for the office and home. We don't expect many people would use the 785G for a high end gaming PC but it is worth noting that ASRock has claimed a world record for overclocking on its M3A785GXH/128M where a Phenom II X4 965 ran at 6095MHz.
That led to one of our criticisms about the Asus M4A785TD-V EVO as we didn't see why it sent us a full sized ATX model to review when a Micro-ATX one makes more sense. Particularly, as one of our readers commented, Asus has a Micro-ATX 785G in its range.
Gigabyte hasn't made the same tactical error as it sent us the MA785GMT-UD2H which is a compact Micro-ATX model that measures 244mm x 244mm. This means you don't get the second long PCI Express slot that you see on the Asus model but that's no loss as the 780G and 785G do not support CrossFireX.
When you look at the layout of the MA785GMT-UD2H it is clear that Gigabyte has worked hard to squeeze in a long list of features. On the I/O panel we get the headline features of the 785G chipset with HDMI, DVI and VGA outputs for the Radeon HD 4200 graphics. In addition there are six USB ports, one PS/2, one Firewire port, one eSATA, Gigabit LAN and full surround sound audio including optical S/PDIF.
Then we come to the main group of internal connectors and slots. The four DDR3 memory slots and the PCI Express x16, PCI Express x1 and two PCI slots take up most of the available space. In addition there are five vertical SATA connectors that look as though they might interfere with a long graphics card. We plugged in a Radeon HD 4890 and found that the cables actually clear the card by a small margin leaving all five connectors available for use.
It's a similar story with the passive cooler on the Northbridge on the chipset which looks terribly close to the PCI Express x1 slot. In fact the cooler has been profiled to provide enough room for you to plug in an expansion card such as a TV tuner or sound card without any problem.
Down by the SATA connectors the usual expansion headers are present and correct however you don't get any brackets in the package so you'll be relying on the ports that you have mounted on your case. There are three USB headers that support six USB ports and a Firewire header for a second port which is all very satisfactory. Head up the side of the board next to the memory slots and you'll find the main power connector, the ATA133 connector for legacy optical drives and a floppy connector. That sounds like a full house of expansion options but Gigabyte has also included a header for a COM port and a second header for a Parallel port.

"Fixing the broken supply chain between content and connectivity provides more reasons to invest... Not only does the market become more buoyant, due to less leakage and more reward, but it also becomes more diverse - as those songwriters, publishers, artists, and record labels currently contemplating leaving the industry choose to stay, whilst more parties - be they rights holders or rights users - outside of the industry they choose to enter."
The first option, "do nothing", means the negative externalities simply pile up. The second is to step up litigation and prohibition. However,the paper notes, "there is little evidence suggesting the costly process of pushing down on the black market will indeed raise up the demand for the licensed market." The other two options involve licensing file sharing networks: pulling services like the old Napster or Oink into the legitimate market. There's a flat tax or levy approach to charging for this - sticking (for example) £2 on everybody's monthly broadband bill. However, this may cause more problems than it cures, the authors caution - since nobody has an incentive to invest in creating or promoting new music services. But there's also a voluntary subscription method of offering these. More work is needed on this too, the authors recommend, such as calculating the effect on today's players such as iTunes and the displacement costs. But the inference we are invited to make is that this is the most attractive of the four, provided the incentives can be lined up.
....don't seem to take into account the idea that (a) there are other players in the market that should be considered in the ecosystem and (b) one of the three legs of the stool set forth in the premise (the collections societies) may not be needed. If you take them out of the equation, but plug in other components of the market (say, the musicians themselves) you can quite easily see the model working quite differently than what's described in the report.

Leather package is $1330 plus you also need to purchase the premium audio package for $1125.
Leather will cost you $2455.
Leather Package Includes: Perforated Leather Seats with
Driver Seat Memory, Rain-Sensing Intermittent Wipers with
Mist Cycle, Auto-Dimming Outer Mirrors with Memory and is required at this time if you want the Premium Audio Package.
The Premium Audio Package Includes: 10-speaker Lexus
Premium Audio System, In-dash 6-Disc CD Changer, Auto-
Dimming Electrochromic Rearview Mirror, Lexus Homelink
Universal Transceiver
When I did the "build your own CT200h" on Lexus.com, I was allowed to select the premium audio ($1,125 - that was Package A) without selecting leather trim. I started with the premium model.
Maybe that's only in my area (TX)? I hope the website isn't wrong. But if it is, I won't be getting the premium audio, then, since I don't want leather seats (they'd get all scratched up....my pets...plus I just have never cared for leather seats in cars...in the TX heat they seem like they're melting after sitting in a parking lot for an hour in 100 degree heat).
The Lexus 'Build your CT' site seems to have dropped a few options over the last few days. Not sure why, either its a program problem or the higher end ones are a very limited build from what the dealer said, with the majority in the mid price range which would mean less option choices at some point. I did one the first of last week and 3 or 4 of the same options were not showing on Friday.
CT200h - Premium Pkg, Tungsten Pearl, Black Leather, LED HL, NAV, PCS/Radar Cruise, Illuminated Door Sills
It seems that Lexus is changing the options & accessories price everyday!!! a remote start engine accessory was $375 and now it's $240. Wheel locks were at $79.. now it's $43.. ... at least in san jose, ca.. what's going on??? the nav package was $2445 and now it's $2680..
Are they testing out the prices and what people are willing to pay??
Evidently only you and I are getting the same interior trim options on our online build. I have asked the same question on another thread and no one else seems to know what we're talking about.
I went into the dealer to see if their online build also had the leather seats priced same as the NuLuxe, and they did. It doesn't matter which package I selected, A or B, both had the Black and Water Gray leather seats as an option with no price difference from the NuLuxe. However, on the C package you get "perforated" leather seats. The only thing the sales person and I could figure is that the regular leather seats (priced same as NuLuxe) are not perforated. You have to go with the C package in order to get perforated leather seats. I'm planning on going with the leather over the NuLuxe for the same price. If I knew more about the NuLuxe I might give it a try.
2011 CT200h: Premium, Matador Red, Black Leather,
HDD Navigation, Premium Audio, LED Headlights, Illuminated Door Sills
When I do a build, the leather is the first option before the package page and its basically a stand alone option.
Yes, exterior color, then interior trim options including leather are the first selections for me as well. are you getting a difference in build price with leather vs NuLuxe?
2011 CT200h: Premium, Matador Red, Black Leather,
HDD Navigation, Premium Audio, LED Headlights, Illuminated Door Sills
Of course, Leather is like $1500 more once you click it. Nuluxe is the standard material.
The "perforated" leather shows up in the expensive packages, but I don't recall seeing a difference.

New Study Examines What Makes a Video Go Viral
Assistant Professor Hema Yoganarasiham on Social Media Marketing
When it comes to marketing via video sharing on social media, choosing an influential person to "seed" a video is essential—but video quality isn't all that important.
So concludes a new study of "buzz" marketing on YouTube by Hema Yoganarasimham, an assistant professor at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management. The research takes an important first step in looking at video viewership online, and in helping companies best use online campaigns to boost their return on investment (ROI).
The identification of effective seeds (or primary authors) is not only key to the success of these campaigns, but also an important factor in estimating the return on investment from a manager's perspective."
— Assistant Professor Hema Yoganarasimhan, author of the study.
"Seeding information in social media outlets through handpicked agents is now becoming a common strategy in buzz marketing campaigns," the study notes.
Choosing the right seeding "agent" isn't just about friends and followers, Yoganarasimhan found. "It's not the number of people, it's focusing on the right people," she explained. "They need to ask who are their friends, and who are their friends' friends — and how are they positioned in the network?"
She cites a Ford Motor Co. buzz marketing campaign for the subcompact Fiesta car in 2009 as a good example. Eschewing traditional marketing, Ford garnered 6,000 car reservations, 6.2 million YouTube views, 750,000 Flickr views and about 4 million Twitter impressions in less than a year. In what became a well-known campaign in the social marketing world, Ford selected 100 influential video bloggers, or "vloggers," who agreed to try out a Fiesta for six months in return for blogging, tweeting and otherwise recording their experiences with the car on social media.
In her research, Yoganarasimhan looked at 1,939 videos that were uploaded to YouTube during November 2007. Among those, more than 1,800 were posted by authors who listed their friends.
"I visited the pages of these friends and obtained a list of their friends. So for each video, I reconstructed the social network of the author up to two hops," Yoganarasimhan said. She then monitored those videos daily for more than a month for views, ratings, comments, sharing and other statistics.
While a close-knit community may be committed and loyal to a dispenser of information, that community may generate low video popularity in the long run, the study showed. That's because people in a close-knit community don't interact much with outsiders, resulting in few interactions with second- or third-degree "friends."
The study found that while first-degree friends are important for initial marketing, second- and third-degree friends are essential for "viral" spread.
Finally, the study found that video ratings are important — but it doesn't much matter if the rating is good or bad. Yoganarasimhan's analysis showed that video quality, as measured by viewer comments and ratings, had little effect on viewership in the long run. However a video with any rating was likely to have more viewers than one with no rating.
YouTube is a good platform to study, Yoganarasimhan said, because it involves both social media and video sharing.
The paper: "Impact of Social Network Structure on Content Propagation: A study Using YouTube Data," is available online.

The research is published in the latest issue of Quantitative Marketing Economics.

Sealing The Deal: Seniors and other Rose-Hulman students sought post-graduate, internship, and co-op opportunities during this year's Spring Career Fair, attended by 77 companies.
Less than a month before receiving their diplomas, 77 percent of the members of Rose-Hulman's Class of 2016 have accepted post-graduation employment, are deciding upon job offers, plan to attend graduate school, or will be commissioned military officers through Army and Air Force ROTC programs.

Drol is a platform game where you play a cute robot that can fly and shoot. Your goal is to rescue children that are wandering around each level. The levels consist of rows of platforms, with gaps which can be jumped through to go up or down a vertical level. The creatures to avoid and shoot vary from strange hopping, beer-belly aliens, to demons, snakes, and axes flying through the air (we never do find out who's throwing those axes!).Like Defender, Drol incorporates a "radar" at the top of the screen, so you can find the children and dodge incoming baddies.

Posted by Wingman on 6/12/2010 at 9:11 PMHey Randal
What state county and school do you go to my EC teacher isn't that sure on how to get the county to give me one
Posted by Wingman on 5/24/2010 at 11:51 PMI should be getting Maggie anytime now I'm going to meet her this week
Posted by Windows7 on 5/24/2010 at 4:47 AMok i've never gotten a laptop from school and i don't want to and i don't think i ever will.
Posted by Thrill Monster on 5/23/2010 at 11:56 AMCool! I'm 17 and I didn't get accepted. Good luck! When will you get Maggie?
Posted by Randal on 5/23/2010 at 9:17 AMI have one and they gave me one less then 8 days
Posted by Wingman on 5/23/2010 at 2:14 AMI was researching Guide dogs for awhile and i found out Rotties could be guides.
I'm 16 and i got my guide from a private trainer in my area and they just so happened to know a rottie breeder.
Really just about any breed can be a service dog.
Just check out the local trainers even if they don't have a guide program you might get lucky and find a trainer that would be willing to help you select and train you a guide.
When i get out of high school I'm going to start a service dog agency.
I hope you get a guide before then
Which if you need a guide when i set the agency up I'll set you up.
Good luck

Posted by Thrill Monster on 5/23/2010 at 1:10 AMHow old are you? I have to know how old you are and how you got the dog! I've been waiting for years for a guide dog! I thought that the only breeds used were Labs and Golden Retrievers. How are you getting a Rotweiler. I had the school district buy me my laptop. I had to wait 10 years before I got mine. I'm in 11th grade but i have been wanting one since like 2nd grade. And I got it but it's too frustrating to use.

Why Hughes instead of Burroughs....
Posted 23 April 2012 - 01:43 PM
Posted 23 April 2012 - 01:47 PM
I came across an interesting rule that I was not aware of. Players can only be outrighted to the minors once in there career without their consent.
Burroughs was outrighted last year by Arizona, and if he cleared waivers he could have forced the Twins to release him rather than accept a minor league assignment.
I can see the argument made that they didn't want to actually lose anyone, and IF Hughes cleared waivers, they could keep him and bring him up later if needed, whereas it's not unlikely that Burroughs would have refused the assignment and sought out another club.
As far as why they kept Plouffe over Hughes, my only guess is that they hope he'll eventually settle into a cuddyer-like role of adequate OF with a decent bat who can back up everyone.
They kept Plouffe over Hughes because Plouffe has a significant amount of more upside, and Plouffe has shown more offensive and defensive value in his short time in the majors then Hughes.
The Twins had hughes for 9 years in the system, and have seen over 2800 PA and 650 games from him. They basically realized he was never going to be an everyday player, and due to his lack of having any + skill, didn't make much sense as a bench guy either.

This concept is virtually a fantasy. When was the last time England did not suffer injuries to key players (sometimes key and fringe players en masse) in \ just before an Ashes?
I certainly don't remember any such time.
Some Australians have always made a habit of the notion that injuries are an acceptable reason to talk down any England victory, but not to talk down any Australian one. I guess it stems from the belief that a full-strength Australia will always beat a full-strength England - the truth of which, as I say above, is difficult to know given the last time such a thing happened was probably about never.For the last four years we've had you lot bleating that the only reason we won two Tests in 2005 was that McGrath missed both games; why would you want to hand us the same excuse?

Well, no, but you might be surprised how many of us in England like watching him bat. Obviously I don't want to see him make match-changing scores, but the odd 40 or 50 wouldn't do any harm.
And yes, we have been somewhat adversely affected by absences in recent series (maybe not enough to alter the result though). The loss of Flintoff and Simon Jones in 2002-03 and Jones, again, Vaughan and Trescothick in 2006-07 clearly hurt us - although it meant that in 2005 Flintoff was in a sense our 'secret weapon' - the Aussies having seen so little of him.
In 2002/03 and 1994/95 England suffered innumerable injuries. Flintoff and Simon Jones were both pretty poor at the time of their 2002/03 absences, but who knows how much of a difference they might've made in 2006/07.
Yeah, I think that's right, especially about Flintoff. I for one had seen a little of him in the SA series preceding the Ashes that year (it was the first time I had pay TV) but aside from that very little of him.
WTR to Jones, before 2005 about the only memory many Aussies had of him was, sadly, his unfortunate injury at the Gabba. I don't suppose his mood against us was helped by some spectators yelling out "Get up you soft Pommie ****" when he hit the deck that day

Why wouldn't you bet with Pietersen included?
Odd's would be better now, and if Pietersen goes, odds will be worse.
The only things I could think of in response to this is you are an idiot, you think Australia will dominate England with or without Pietersen, or you think Pietersen is dire and/or won't have an impact on the series.

I've started the search for a company that installs solar panels and solar thermal systems. One of my personal criterias is a NYSERDA approved operator. The benefit of using an NYSERDA approved installer is that you don't need to deal with all the paper work involved in getting approvals and some of the tax benefits involved. I have heard that non-NYSERDA companies sometimes offer a lower price but less service.
Also note that NYSERDA is not guaranteeing the quality of work. To be a NYSERDA approved installer, one needs to fill out the required application and submit the necessary certifications. I'll be back with the results of my initial search for an installer.

I only buy the Nintendo systems, they have always been enough for me, so I always thought buying other consoles would be superfluous for my needs.

Another HAPPY New Year!
These are just some images of the Chinese New Year markets in Central's Belmore Park. A rather motley collection of sideshow alley games and stalls selling tins of food and jars of sauce. The Australian Tax Office was also there - wonder what they were giving away, Tax Audits??
The street parade will be next Sunday, 1 Feb, starting at 7.45 pm. Should be a spectacle, see you there!

hi missklicious - I was hoping they were giving out free refunds but there weren't too many people taking up the offer!
hi chocolatesuze - no Vegemite for me as I didn't have time to eat the noodles and fill out the questionnaire...
hi Lorraine - ha, the ATO needs all the publicity it can get!
hi Karen - hehe, touche! They should tempt people with a dumpling and then hit them with a review of last year's deductions.Gong Xi Fa Cai, Belle! What a splendid collage you've assembled!
As for the ATO, perhaps they were monitoring the amount of money being passed around as hung-bao/ang pow? Probably getting the names of all the little children to audit when they grow up to account for the undeclared lucky money income.
