First holiday memory?
Going on a school trip to Dinard in Brittany. It was the first time I had been away from home. The first trip I did on my own, though, was when I started my PhD on the geology of earthquakes; I went to Greece to stay in a little village called Pisia, which is in the Corinthia area on the mainland.
Best holiday?
I went to Turkey with my two daughters a couple of years ago, where we were based around the spectacular cascading limestone pools at Pamukkale. It was primarily a sun-and-swimming holiday, but we managed to get a bit of geology and archaeology crammed in for me, too.
Favourite place in the British Isles?
The Highlands of north-west Scotland. I did my undergraduate work there while I was at university and it's extremely beautiful. When the sun goes down, there's nowhere else like it in the world.
What have you learnt from your travels?
I've learnt to get to the airport in time. I used to be very blasé, but I've learnt from experience and have gradually started to arrive earlier and earlier over the last few years. However, I still spend too much time in the departure lounge and have to dash to the gate at the last minute.
Ideal travelling companion?
The travel writer William Dalrymple. I think that he brings forth a lot of history and cultural context that I'd love to be able to have one day.
Beach bum, culture vulture or adrenalin junkie?
I like culture with a bit of beach thrown in.
Greatest travel luxury?
These days it's my iPod, which unfortunately cuts you off from the local culture immediately!
Where has seduced you?
New Zealand's landscape seduced me immensely – it's spectacular. I really enjoyed Argentina, too. I spent two weeks in a place called Jujuy in the foothills of the Andes, and it made me want to explore more of the country. I loved the vibrancy and friendliness of the people.
Holiday reading?
I try to read while I'm travelling, but it tends not to be much in the way of novels these days, because I am usually cramming in factual and geology books for my work. I'm reading The Weather Makers by Tim Flannery at the moment. He's a great Australian writer, and the book is about climate change, which is what I'm focusing on for work next.
Better to travel or arrive?
Definitely to travel. When you're a geologist, travelling through a landscape, you're going through something that is both familiar and also intriguingly unfamiliar.
Worst holiday?
I went to north-east Siberia, which was amazing and interesting, but it was so bloody cold that I wouldn't go back. Doing anything normal was so difficult; it was too much hard work for me. I'd stay outside for 20 minutes and my eyelids would start to freeze up.
Worst hotel?
A hotel in northern Madagascar. As we entered the lobby, the first thing we saw – before anyone else – was a rat. It actually scuttled towards us as if to greet us. We slept on our clothes. It was a beautiful place but a really dodgy hotel.
Best hotel?
Amanjiwo in central Java, near Yogyakarta. I had just finished climbing Mount Merapi and I was put up there for one night. It was really lovely and my room had its own private pool on the terrace.
Best meal abroad?
It was on a family holiday in Lucca, Tuscany with my parents-in-law. We ate beautiful, simple, but expensive Italian fare in the village square.
Favourite walk/swim/ride/drive?
My favourite walk is in Loutraki on the Perachora peninsula in Greece. There's an archaeological site and you walk from there down to a beautiful lagoon called the Blue Lake, to a cluster of little restaurants.
First thing you do when you arrive somewhere new?
Check for Wi-Fi access – not very romantic, I know.
Dream trip?
I'd really like to go to Madre de Dios island in Patagonia. It's a fantastic-looking place and I just really want to go somewhere that's called "mother of god" island!
Favourite city?
Istanbul has a buzz as soon as you arrive. The city is also under the looming threat of an earthquake, which gives it an added dramatic tension.
Where next?
Hopefully to Kilimanjaro, to look at the tropical glaciers there, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. Sadly, they are disappearing rapidly.

Sunday, November 07, 2010 - Bowl of clams, parsley and pear cider - I've got a real thing for clams at the moment and this dish was a simple combination of great flavours. My starter of sweet clams were cooked a la mariniere, with pear cider being used instead of white wine. Really delicious...Braxted Hall double lamb chop: The sweet lamb was accented by slightly salty mouthfuls of samphire, and the generous creamy smoked garlic butter brought all the flavours together. A fabulous dish, comprising of a mere 4 main ingredients.

Chapter One (Part Two) - Charlie Broker
I've no idea how he ended up on the floor. With a bullet in his shoulder. And a gun aimed at his head.
I don't even know his name. But I do know that I'm his backup, and when the person you're supposed to be backing up is on the floor about to have his brains blown out, you don't really stop to think about stupid things like names.
I don't, anyway.
I've only got seconds before Big Guy with the gun there gets itchy fingers.
'Oi!' I yell. Not such a good plan, you say?
He turns the gun on me.
Ah. Maybe you were right.
'Oi, big boy! You gonna pull that trigger, hey?'
He grunts. Ha! What an idiot! I bet he's got the IQ of a goddamn cabbage. This is gonna be easy.
'You hand yourself in like a good boy, and we'll say nothing about it.' He's not going to hand himself in. I'm just buying time.
'You got my friend down there pretty quick.' I nod at the bloke on the floor. He looks bad - all white and bloody, but I put that out of my mind.
Bingo. Big Guy glances down at the bloke on the floor, giving me a second-
I leap forwards, and hit him in the crotch and kick the gun out of his grasp. It goes off as it hits the floor, and just about misses everyone. I think.
He tries to hit me and I block and hit him back and he's reeling and - no! He's coming back and I duck and try and get his legs, but he's like a goddamn car-park pillar - he won't budge - and he hits me and I ignore it and hit him back.
And I floor him.
Oh yeah. I'm proud of that.
I twist Big Guy's arms up behind his back, stick the handcuffs on him. Then I handcuff him to the fence, just in case. That should shut him up for a bit.
Oh, brother. Copper on the floor looks bad. I pull out my radio and give them the situation, tell them where we are. Thank God I noticed the street name!
I crouch by the bloke on the floor. 'You okay, brother?'
'Yeah.' His voice is rough with pain. He blinks and tries to look slightly brave. He fails. He's a right mess. He's really pale, his hair's all sweaty. His shoulder's slick with blood. His uniform has turned dark and wet. I don't want to touch it, in case I make it worse. I'm good at giving people injuries, but not so much the healing bit.
'Why didn't you have your bulletproof on?' I mutter, trying to help him into a sitting position. I don't know if that's what I'm supposed to do, but I can't just do nothing.
Something hits me hard in the side of my head, sending my down. Christ-
I broke one of the most basic rules of martial arts - I turned my back to Big Guy.
And now he's got a gun. His gun? No, that's still lying on the floor where he dropped it. Another gun? Why didn't he use it before?
It's Copper-on-the-Floor's gun. Why didn't I think of that before?
Somehow, Big Guy thinks he's gonna shoot me with his hands cuffed behind his back, but my head's reeling and I can't get up. I'm such a wuss.
And he's standing up-
Standing right over me-
And he raises the gun-
Christ, he's gonna kill the both of us-
And he's got a goddamn grin all over his goddamn face-
And he's gonna shoot-
And- what the hell?
He's on the floor, and the gun's sailing out of his hands for the second time. God. Copper-on-the-Floor hit him. And floored him. And saved my life.
By the time the medics arrive, Big Guy's positively silent. Copper's lost consciousness, but not before I made a complete mess of trying to thank him. Well, I think I said the words 'you' and 'thank' in roughly the same sentence, so it counts. I think.
I wonder who he is. I've never owed someone my life before. It's a weird feeling. I think I ought to hate it, that feeling of owing something to someone. But I don't. I think I quite like it.
I think we're gonna make a good team, actually. Copper-on-the-Floor and Charlie Broker. Yeah, I think that could work.
So I'm smiling when they drive me back to the station. Grinning from ear to goddamn ear.
It's a good feeling.

"We respect everybody, we are not the mafia. This is how we save the world"
Francis names five new cardinals, including associate of Oscar Romero
The Pope: Peace in Central Africa and dialogue with China
Francis: The powerful always try to silence the prophets
Announcing the Gospel means facing the possibility of persecution, Francis said at this morning's mass in St. Martha's House, according to Vatican Radio's report. Today there are perhaps more martyrs in the Church than there were in the early days of Christianity, he went on to say, encouraging faithful not to be afraid of misunderstandings and persecution.
Taking a passage for the Book of Wisdom as his inspiration, Francis observed that Jesus' enemies lay traps for him, they make slanderous statements about him and try to defame him. They prepare to destroy what is Just. He opposes their actions, he condemns acts that violate the law and the education received. The prophets have been persecuted throughout the history of salvation because they say: "You have taken the wrong path! Return to the path of God!" But those who have taken the wrong path do not like this.
"Today's Gospel is clear, no? Jesus hid, in those last days, because His hour had yet to come – but He knew what end he would make, and how He would make it. Jesus is persecuted from the beginning: when we remember the beginning of his preaching, He returns to His country, goes to the synagogue and preaches. After great adulation, the voices begin almost right away to murmur: 'But, we know where He comes from… He is one of us… with that authority comes He to teach us? Where did He study?' [Thus] they write Him off. It is the same old thing: 'But we know where He is from! Christ, however, when He comes, no one will know where he is from. Write the Lord off, write off the prophet in order to take away his authority."
They do so because Jesus went out and released them from that closed religious environment, from that cage." The prophet "fights against those who put the Holy Spirit in a cage. This is why they are always persecuted!" "The prophets," Pope Francis said, "are all persecuted or misunderstood," pushed aside – a situation that does not cease to repeat itself after Christ's death and resurrection, but continues even in the Church. "When we read the lives of the saints, Pope Francis said, "how many misunderstandings [have there been], how many of the saints have suffered persecution… because they were prophets."
"Many thinkers in the Church were persecuted, as well. I think of one, now, at this moment, not so far from us: a man of good will, a prophet indeed, who, in his writings reproached the Church for having lost the way of the Lord. He was summoned in short order, his books were placed on the index [the list of works that were banned or restricted to experts because of their problematic, erroneous and even heretical content], they took away his teaching positions – and thus, this man's life ended – and it was not so long ago. [Now] time has passed, and today he is Blessed. How is it, though, that he, who yesterday was a heretic, is today a Blessed of the Church? It is because yesterday, those who had power wanted to silence him because they did not like what he was saying. Today the Church, who, thanks be to God knows repent, says, 'No, this man is good!' Moreover, he is on the way to sainthood: He is a Blessed."
"All the people whom the Holy Spirit chooses to tell the truth to the People of God suffer persecution," Pope Francis said – and Jesus "is precisely the model, the icon." The Lord took upon Himself "all the persecutions of His people." The Holy Father went on to note that Christians continue to suffer persecution even today. "I dare say," he added, "that perhaps there are as many or more martyrs now that in the early days," because they tell the truth and proclaim Christ Jesus to a worldly society in love with ease and desirous of avoiding problems."
"There is the death penalty or imprisonment for having the Gospel at home, for teaching the Catechism, today, in some parts of the world. A Catholic from one of these countries told me that they cannot pray together. It is forbidden. People can only pray alone and in secret – but they want to celebrate the Eucharist and how do they do? They throw a birthday party, they pretend to celebrate the birthday there and [have Mass] before the 'party'. It has happened. When they see the police arrive, they just hide everything and [continue with the birthday party-cover]. Then, when [authorities] leave, they finish the [Mass]. They have to do so, because it is forbidden to pray together: in this very day."
This "is the way of the Lord: it is the path of those who follow the Lord." Pope Francis went on to say that this story ends as always in Resurrection, though only by passing by way of the Cross. The Holy Father then turned his attention to Fr. Matteo Ricci, SJ, an evangelizer of China, who was not understood, either. "He obeyed as Jesus did, though," Pope Francis said. "Always," he continued, "there will be persecutions, misunderstandings. Jesus is Lord, however, and that is the challenge and the Cross of our faith." The Pope concluded, asking God to give us the grace to go on His way, and if it happens, even with the cross of persecution."

"How can you possibly expect to have any money to pay for Dalia's college if you keep blowing everything you have on shoes and jeans and cell phones?"
Rachel snorted. "Mom, with what I make at work, do you think I could even save up enough to pay for one semester of school? Even if Dalia and I spent the next four years eating Ramen and picking through the thrift store for our whole wardrobe, I doubt I could get enough to pay the book bill. They've got scholarships for girls like Dalia."
"Well, I can see you have all the answers," Dalia's grandmother said, clenching her fists in frustration. "I just hope you know how mortifying it is for your father and me to see Dalia strolling into church in those $150 tennis shoes, when everyone in the congregation knows that you all are on welfare."
"Anyone who judges us ought to spend some more time reading the Bible. I'm pretty sure there's a thing or two in there about leaving the judging of others to God and thinking on your own sins. Anyway, I'm not gonna talk about this anymore. I don't want Dalia overhearing us."
Of course Dalia, being in the next room, had overheard the entire conversation. She loved her Nana Paxton, but she couldn't help but feel that the old woman ought to mind her own business.

Innsbruck and Munich
For Shanna 's birthday we spent a good part of the day again on the bus ending our day in Munich. We stopped for an hour and a half in Innsbruck, Austria where we saw the gold roof over the balcony and shopped at the flagship Swarovski store.
After a couple more hours of driving we arrived in Munich. After a quick stop to check into our hotel we were off to tour the old part of Munich. We saw the old and new town hall which are both in the town square. The new town hall ...
Amsterdam to Munich
Our train was supposed to leave at 9am so of course we were at the train station by just after 8. When we got there we couldn't see our train on the schedule so went to information. Oh no! There's a train strike in Germany! So we've changed our tickets and going a different way in the hope that the few trains that are running will get us to Munich sometime today.

Rep. Danilo Suarez proposed a 3-digit number coding scheme for the month of December to further alleviate the expected heavy traffic during the holiday season. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) welcomed the proposal and will begin its study.
In a report by the Manila Standard, Rep. Danilo Suarez from the 3rd district of Quezon proposed a temporary reinforcement of a 3-digit number coding plan instead of the current 2-digit scheme that runs from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. during the weekdays.
As an example, plate numbers that end in 1, 2, and 3 won't be allowed to use major roads on Mondays; 4, 5, and 6 on Tuesdays; and so on and so forth. Of note, there has not been any concrete scheme laid out yet.
I can already anticipate the resistance by many. It requires change. Big change. Change is often met with instant refusal. Change is seen as a negative thing. I think, in this case, big problem, big solution. So please consider, do we leave things as they are and allow traffic to get worse? Isn't it better to do something now before a serious problem arises?" said Suarez.
He added that this could run until the end of the Three Kings' Day celebration on January 6, 2017.
MMDA Chairman Thomas Orbos is considering the proposal, saying that they will have to study it first and will be consulting I-ACT and Metro Manila Council – the policy-making body of the MMDA.
Orbos also added that he already consulted MMDA Traffic Engineering Center chief Noemie Recio to commence a study on the impact of the proposed scheme.

The program fastmapmap can draw these portraits in real time. (I put some effort into optimization). The parameters a and b can be quickly changed with the arrow keys. The plot can be easily navigated; hold alt and drag the mouse to zoom in on a region.
The program is called fastmapmap because an additional plot can be drawn that is a "map" of the behavior of the map. The x axis represents the constant a and the y axis is b. In this plot, black areas are periodic, red areas escape to infinity, and colored areas are chaotic. So, the plot can depict which parameter values may be interesting to observe.
It's cross-platform, tested in Windows and Ubuntu. Try it! Download Windows | Source (GPL)
A short tutorial:
- Open fastmap.exe
- Tap the right arrow a bit to change the value of a.
- Press Ctrl-s, type 'test', and press Enter to save as test.cfg
- Ctrl-click on the shape to zoom in, Shift-click to zoom out
- Press Ctrl-o, type 'test' and press Enter to open our test.cfg
- Press Alt-b and watch the shapes move
- Press Alt-b again to stop movement
- Click the cross-hairs icon to show the diagram. Click in the diagram.
- Click the "..." icon to read what else can be done.
I came up with other drawing modes. In the following, x and y represent x0 and y0, and the color is chosen according to the value after 20 iterations.
Assigning colors based on quadrant:
I invented this drawing method originally as way of depicting the action of the Henon map.

We have two search engines for different purposes. The first one indexes more fields than the second and we want to prevent "good" search queries from failing on the second. Supporting all theses fields on the second SE is not a good idea since indexing all this additonal data would have an impact on performance and index size. > the easiest approach is to do your own simple pass over the query string, > and escape any metacharacters in clauses you don't like ... they'll be > treated as "terms" and either be ignored (if they are optional) or cause > the query to not match anything (if they are required)... This is a very interesting idea. Yet I wonder how to deal with such terms if they are part of an AND query (actually AND is our default operator, so that a query "body:boy secret_field\:xyzyq" would always fail. It seems obvious that in any case you end up parsing the query in some way...

Just a quickie tonight — I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean – Dead Man's Chest last night. Brilliant movie! It's a little slow to start, but it soon picks up with pretty much more of the same fun and adventure from the first one. The soundtrack is again brilliant, this time with Hans Zimmer taking Klaus Badelt's original Pirates themes and turning them up to 11. I think my favourite musical cue is near the start when Captain Jack Sparrow first appears; it's like the movie winks at you as you are re-united with an old friend.
If only it were "Coming soon to HD DVD"… <sigh> I think I'll be seeing this one again 🙂
In other soundtrack-related news, I see that Halo 2 Volume 2 was finally released back in April… that took a while!

Beautifully executed, and all too true. Love the balance you've achieved through the larger letterforms and the use of the gradient.
Very perceptive of you to say. Plus I love upper 'R' and lower 'g' letterforms. Also '4's but couldn't work one in to this design.

The Best (And Worst) Pickup Lines The Internet Has To Offer: 'Do You Have A Raisin? No. How About A Date?'
Pickup lines: some really work at breaking the ice, others really, really don't.
To try and discover the best pickup lines going, Reddit user @PyedPyper pitched the following question to the online masses: "Reddit, what's your best pickup line?"
It wasn't long before an influx of utterly hilarious and cringe-worthy chat-up lines had crept into the mix. Users then, rather diplomatically, voted which ones were the best by giving them points.
Here are the winners (as it stands)…
Warning: don't try these at home.

Why do I see a blank screen or error when using a Blackmagic card?
Blackmagic cards need to be set to the exact frame rate and resolution of the camera in order to a appear correctly programs like vMix.
If these settings do not match the camera, a blank screen will usually appear.
Please try the following steps to confirm the resolution and frame rate of the camera:
1. Run the Blackmagic Media Express software provided with the card.
2. From this program configure the settings until you see the correct picture.
3. Make note of these settings and close the program.
4. Run vMix and click Add Input and go to the Camera tab.
5. From the dropdown Camera menu select the option that exactly matches the name of the device you are using
For example "Intensity Pro" or "Decklink SDI 4K"
6. Select the Resolution and Frame Rate settings that match what worked in Media Express.
Note: that most cameras that support 60i/30p are actually 59.94i/29.97p so select this option instead.

I forgot to mention that I read in Dr.Thomas's Rose Book that rose pollen
can be stored in a dry glass container in the fridge to be used later on a
receptive stigma. I have not tried this personally however if you were
wanting to arrange an uncooperative mating this may be worth a try.
Essential to keep dry in the container.
My apologies to Cynthia, I did not realize that you sold regal seed.

A Gem From My
WordPress Archives!
Here's the deal….
These videos were some of the VERY first training videos I ever shot. They were part of why I started blogging in the first place, because friends needed assistance getting started.
(I am somewhat embarrassed to publish these because they are not my finest work, having been created quite a while back, but they still "work" and I hope you'll be forgiving!)
They were created before I realized how badly my original host sucked – and also before I realized that most novices really just needed to use the Fantastico installer (simple method) even with its security issues or they would get overwhelmed and not set up WordPress.
So those pieces of advice in these videos is outdated and needs taken with a grain of salt.There are a few minor changes to the WP interface that you will notice that should not be a big deal but you can leave a question here if you get stuck anywhere :)
I will be offering another WordPress course in the future – with more extensive training – more Q&A – etc… but in the meantime these videos will help get you started if you're struggling.
These videos are for you – and totally free.
Module 1: Registering Hosting (Registering With A Web Host)
Module 2a: Installing WP with the Fantastico Installer
(skip of used Module 2a): Module 2b & 2c: WP Manual Installation Part 1 & 2
Module 3a: First Look At Your WordPress Admin Dashboard
Module 3b: Installing A WordPress Theme
Module 3c: Visual Branding & You
Module 3f: Pages & Posts, oh my!
Got questions? Leave them below! (And please share these videos if you think others might enjoy it.)
Find the rest of the WP Installation & Setup: The Lost Videos Series here!
Here's to your WordPress Success!

PS: I also offer WordPress setup services if installing it feels like too much for you!

A Disturbing Meeting
Rain fell in abundance, the leaves of the surrounding trees catching the drops, sending loud smacking noises throughout the night air.
A figure wandered down a winding path that was walled on all sides by sinister winding branches and gnarled foliage.
The figure was cloaked; hiding it's warped features- if it kept the hood up, no onlooker would be aware that the figure was a witch. Not that there were any onlookers. The location the witch had chosen was well away from any towns or villages.
The witch finally came to a stop in a clearing. She glanced around for a moment, and then pulled her hood down, revealing her hideous face. Then, she reached into her cloak and revealed a small wooden flute.
She placed the flute to her mouth, and blew into it. The sound wasn't a sweet melody, however. In fact, there was no sound at all- no audible sound, at least. Only a small number of creatures would be aware of the noise- a droning growl, with concealed whispers within it.
She stopped playing it, and moved it clear from her face. Holding it at an arms length, she watched as it began to glow, ever so slightly, a deep, dark purple.
No less than five seconds later, the flute began to burn with color, and then disintegrated into nothing.
She grunted, and turned. She turned just in time to see something fall from above. The new arrival landed perfectly, and got to its feet.
It was an odd thing, fairly tall, every part of it concealed by a loose, ragged coat- not a single giveaway feature visible.
"Thank you for coming," The witch said, her mouth contorting, trying to form the almost polite sentence.
The figure only nodded.
"The details of what the Master requires of you-"
"I serve no master," The figure said. Its voice was odd, deep and somehow… disturbing.
The witch observed the person in front of her for a moment.
"I… apologize. The details are in here… along with half of your payment," The witch explained, holding up a sack.
"Half?" The figure asked.
The witch nodded.
"Half now, half after you dispatch of your targets,"
The figure growled quietly for a moment, but then snatched the sack from the witch. He pulled the strings and opened it, looking at the few hundred gold coins within it. He then reached in and removed a small piece of crumpled paper.
He read it slowly, his concealed eyes moving over the scrawled lettering.
"Two Humans… an Elf… a Werewolf?" The figure spoke as he read, "I wasn't aware that your kind had started to murder their own,"
The witch narrowed her eyes and hissed.
"This Lycan is not one of us. He has chosen the wrong side in the coming battle," The witch said.
The figure tilted its head slightly, and then concealed the sack within its coat.
"Payment has been exchanged, I have the details," He said, "I will leave for Nefern Dale tomorrow, and my targets wont live for much longer,"
The witch nodded, grinning, revealing the rotting, animal like teeth inside her mouth.
The figure, without one single word of farewell, bent down slightly, and jumped- disappearing into the trees above.
The witch smiled to herself again, even if the assassin didn't manage to kill the Inquisitor and his allies, the newly formed army of Unholy would. And when she entered into the age of darkness, evil and sin, she would know that she played a part in the great Deadrick Blade's downfall.
She would have revenge on the human who murdered her Mistress, Morag. The witch named Golog smiled once again.
Juhra would be pleased with her.

Recovery: The latest GDP report shows that President Obama's policies continue to weigh down the economy. Now 51 months old, his recovery is by far the weakest since the Great Depression.
At 2.8%, real growth in the third quarter was higher than expected, a rarity. But the latest government data also hinted at weakness, as consumer and business spending slowed.
In short, the strong growth everyone predicted at the start of the year is a no-show, just as the previous predictions of prosperity just around the corner proved false.
It also means that Obama's recovery — now more than 4 years old — remains the worst since WWII. That's despite the fact that, by this point, half the previous recoveries had been interrupted by another recession.
Had Obama's recovery been only as good as the average of the past 10 recoveries, the economy would be $1.3 trillion larger. That's $4,038 for every person in the U.S., or $10,451 per household.
And had job growth been just average, there'd be 7.3 million more people with jobs today. That means 64% of those now looking for work would be employed.
The only things that have shown strong and steady growth under Obama are excuses.
First, he blamed Bush, saying that recoveries from financial crises are always longer and slower. But Obama based this claim on research by two economists who even liberals now dismiss as unreliable. Other studies show crises produce stronger, not weaker, recoveries.
Then blame shifted to the allegedly insufficient stimulus, as though running $1 trillion deficits four years in a row wasn't Keynesian enough.
As the tepid recovery lingered on, Obama's excuses became increasingly desperate. In late 2011, he said "head winds" such as the "Japanese tsunami, the Arab Spring" and "problems ... in Spain, Italy and Greece" were to blame.
A year later he was still pointing fingers at "serious head winds" such as "high gas prices" and "a crisis in Europe's economy." Then, Obama blamed House Republicans for their push to trim spending, although federal outlays remain well above historic levels.
Now it's the days-long government shutdown — even though it'll likely end up lifting overall federal outlays.
Funny, but Obama never mentions his own economic policies — tax hikes, regulations, ObamaCare, the war on coal — that have deadened what should have been a strong rebound from the deep 2007-09 recession.
As long as those remain in place, Obama's recovery will continue to underperform.

Tungsten Uses: Cemeted Carbide, Alloys and More
A look at the various uses for tungsten, from aerospace parts to light bulb filaments.
Tungsten, also known as wolfram, is a shiny, silvery-white metal with low reactivity and the highest melting point of all metals. It is also one of the heaviest metals with a density of 19.25 grams per cubic centimeter.
Tungsten is mined all over the world, though China leads the way in production — it put out 68,000 tonnes in 2014, much higher than Russia's 3,600 tonnes and Canada's 2,200 tonnes. Deposits can be found near orogenic belts, areas where tectonic plates have collided. These belts can be found in places such as the Asiatic part of Russia, the east coast of Australia and the Rocky and Andes mountains.
Tungsten uses are extremely varied as the metal's hardness makes it valuable for shaping everything from metals to plastics and ceramics. About two-thirds of tungsten is used for cemented carbide and other construction applications. It is also important for high-speed steels and creep-resistant steels and alloys. Additionally, the metal is used for everyday purposes. Examples include the vibration alert in cell phones, light bulb filaments, electrical and electronic contacts, solar panels and window heating.
Here, the Investing News Network breaks down the primary tungsten uses, explaining why the metal is ideal for various applications.
Tungsten uses: Cemented carbide
As mentioned, the majority of tungsten is used for cemented carbide, which is a hard material used in cutting tools for machining and other industrial applications. Cemented carbide, which is often referred to as hardmetal, is made by mixing tungsten monocarbide powder with carbon powder and heating the mixture to 2,200 degrees Celsius. This process results in a material with a hardness close to diamond.
Cemented tungsten carbide tools are used in the aerospace, automotive and construction industries as well as in oil and mineral exploration and mining. Applications for cemented carbide include wear parts (components added to resist impact, corrosion and wear in machinery), carbide rotator cutters and metal-forming tools.
Tungsten uses: High-speed steels and super alloys
After cemented carbide, the second highest use of tungsten is in the making of high-speed steels and super alloys; those applications took a 24-percent share of demand in 2012. High-speed steels have the ability to machine materials at high cutting speeds; they are complex iron-based alloys made from a combination of carbon, chromium, vanadium, molybdenum or tungsten, and in some cases a fair amount of cobalt.
According to ASM International, the world's largest association of metals-centric materials engineers and scientists, the first research work on a 14 percent tungsten alloy in 1903 led to the development of the first high-speed tool steel, known now as T1.
Tungsten uses: Mill products
Next on the list, mill products, such as tungsten rods, sheets, wires, light bulb filaments and electrical contacts, account for about 14 percent of tungsten use. The metal's use in light bulb filaments has declined with the introduction of new lighting technologies, but tungsten mill products are still needed in a number of other areas.
"[T]ungsten mill products are also used in ammunition and armor, in the automotive and aerospace industry, as furnace elements, in electronics, as jewelry, in medical and nuclear applications, for sports equipment and as welding electrodes," states Vital Metals (ASX:VML).
Tungsten uses: Chemicals
Finally, chemical industry applications are the smallest market for tungsten, with less than 10 percent of global consumption. However, a variety of tungsten compounds are used as lubricants, catalysts, pigments for ceramic glazes and enamels, as well as in electronics and electrical applications.
To be sure, tungsten is important for a variety of industrial and electronics applications that are key to modern life. Critical metals investors will certainly want to keep an eye on the market for this critical metal.

Soon, each UC Santa Barbara student will get a taste of doing original research on the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, a widely used genetic model.
At the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), hundreds of sophomores take the introductory biology course each year. Soon, each one will get a taste of doing original research on the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, a widely used genetic model.
The inspiration for the new curriculum came from biology professor Joel Rothman's experience as director of a summer embryology course at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. In the MBL course, graduate students and postdocs would spend three days conducting original experiments on C. elegans. Despite the time limitations, students were able to make interesting discoveries and came away with an appreciation for this area of research. Back at UCSB, Rothman and fellow professors Kathy Foltz and Rolf Christoffersen began thinking about whether such an approach could be adapted to undergraduate lab activities that might kick-start college students' interest in research.
"If advanced students could make original discoveries in only three days," Rothman says, "we wondered, might it be possible—over several quarters—to do this for six to eight hundred Intro Bio students who are just starting their training?"
As part of the new effort, called the Large-scale Undergraduate Research Experience (LURE), each introductory biology student will use RNA interference to knock down one of the worm's 20,000 genes in an effort to identify genes important for specific aspects of development or physiology. C. elegans is easy to grow, and the techniques are standard, making it ideal for such a large-scale undergraduate project, Rothman says. It will be true research, as the outcome of each experiment will not be known beforehand. In fact, some students may not find anything. That will be an important lesson, too, Rothman says. "Failure is a perennial part of the research experience," he notes.
The university plans to share the students' results with the worldwide C. elegans research community by publishing their data on the web. Those results could stimulate new directions for researchers around the world. "There are elements in science in which 600 pairs of eyes and hands are very valuable," Rothman says.

Watch: Ditka asleep on NFL Countdown, Keyshawn jostles him awake
Who among us can say they HAVEN'T fallen asleep at work?
Clearly not 74-year-old former Chicago Bears coach turned TV analyst Mike Ditka.
Much like Chris Conte, who gave up that walk-off touchdown to Green Bay Packer Randall Cobb, Ditka appears to be napping during Sunday's "NFL Countdown," on ESPN.
Ditka is shaken awake by concerned colleague Keyshawn Johnson.
