Apple just announced their earnings for Q1 2017. The company reported $52.9 billion in revenue with EPS of $2.10, which slightly beat consensus estimates of $2.02. But perhaps more importantly, this quarter's revenue from services was $7.04 billion, which represents 18 percent growth year-over-year for the category, the same YOY growth percentage seen last quarter.

Review: SugarSync for the iPad
I've been wondering how, exactly, I'll be able to do work on my iPad. With the assistance of programs like Dropbox and SugarSync, it is possible to cobble together a workflow that doesn't drive me crazy.

Who needs the Droid? T-Mobile G1 hacked to run Google Nav
I like to imagine that a special place exists somewhere on the Web where a bunch of unassuming "ordinary" folks get together to solve world technology issues. A brotherhood (that allows women too, of course) of sorts that uniformly scream, "HACK3RS UNITE!," and then figure out how to stick it to the man. I'm not entirely sure anything that amazing exists, but there… Read More
Vimeo begins to play nice with iPhone, Android devices
The lack of Flash support on the iThings (i.e. phone, touch) and all but one Android device has made it rather difficult for Flash-based video sites to penetrate the ever-expanding smartphone video-consuming market. While YouTube has implemented a workaround for this problem (by encoding each uploaded video in both Flash AND as .mp4 files), other sites (arguably with less resources) have been… Read More

Who We Are:
The COMET® Program was established in 1989 by UCAR and NOAA's NWS to promote a better understanding of mesoscale meteorology among weather forecasters and to maximize the benefits of new weather technologies during the NWS's modernization program. The COMET mission has expanded, and today COMET uses innovative methods to disseminate and enhance scientific knowledge in the environmental sciences, particularly meteorology, but also including diverse areas such as oceanography, hydrology, space weather and emergency management.
COMET has an outstanding, highly trained team of instructional designers, meteorologists, environmental scientists, graphic artists, multimedia developers, and information technology and administrative professionals. A COMET strength is the flexibility of its staff, which allows effective use of program funds and efficient production.
COMET Strategic Plan 2014-2019 (.pdf)
COMET's Mission
The COMET Program creates environmental science education and training in support of a diverse community of users by offering the following products and services:
- Media-rich, interactive, multi-lingual distance learning
- Internet-based synchronous and asynchronous courses
- The MetEd website with user tracking and assessment system
- Residence courses, workshops, and meetings
- Small grants program (Outreach)
- Leadership and consultation in science education and training
Parent Organization and Sponsors
Tthe COMET Program is part of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research's (UCAR's) Community Programs (UCP) and is sponsored by NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS), with additional funding by:
- Bureau of Meteorology of Australia
- Bureau of Reclamation, United States Department of the Interior
- European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT)
- Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC)
- NOAA National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service (NESDIS)
- NOAA's National Geodetic Survey (NGS)
- Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (NMOC)
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
Community and Collaboration
A foundational principle of COMET is that all of the program's activities are strengthened by collaboration with others. The COMET Program's primary community includes environmental forecasters and scientists in all settings, including universities, government agencies, state and local governments, and the private sector, both in the U.S. and internationally. This community is often referred to as the "Weather Enterprise," and COMET truly provides support to all parts of the Enterprise.
The COMET Program receives significant benefits and support from its community. In particular, the unique relationship with the university community has been especially important to COMET's mission. COMET works closely with faculty and members of the operational community to develop distance learning lessons and teach symposia and workshops. Through these interactions, academic partners often become aware of operational research needs that can lead to joint activities such as the ones promoted through the COMET Outreach Program. This collaborative involvement promotes the transfer of science into real-world applications and strengthens the use of new data and tools provided by NOAA and other federal agencies. At the same time, operational forecasters who work with academic partners gain a deeper understanding of the science behind their work.

Bean & Chicken Baked Taco Filling
Recipe by Juenessa
This was posted in my local newspaper as "recipe of the month". It was contributed by Elke Marsh, owner of the hottest new deli in town called Elke's Market Cafe. Note: 3/28/07--added taco seasoning to recipe.
Top Review by Parsley
This is a really good, hearty taco filling. I made it exactly as written. I kind of figured that it would need a bit of seasoning help to give it a more "Mexican" flavor. After tasting the mixture, I added ground cumin, coriander and garlic; that did the trick. Adding a packet of taco seasoning would do the trick, also. I served this on soft flour tortillas with a mini taco fixin's bar. Very versatile. I'm thinking that this could easily be made in a Crockpot. You could even just serve this as a dip! Thanx for sharing this. I'll make it again.

I bought all the recommended parts in the shopping list (except misc. hoses). I have read the related info pages a few times and I'm at the point that I can't prepare further without actually taking things apart. Unfortunately my cheap Carsoft OBD II package does not work on my car (crashes on every diagnostic attempt), and the rental OBD device from the auto parts stores don't work on my car either (tried last year). This means I have to note every step and be able to put things back the right way. Hopefully I can get help from this forum when I have problems or questions. I plan to start this task this weekend.

There is an initiative in the process of getting on the ballot that would edit (strike / add) the code regarding issuance of concealed permits in California. Follow its official progress, here.
The problem is that the initiative doesn't owe much to the Second Amendment but just limps away from current tyranny with its tail between its legs. Still, it is an improvement. :icon_neutral: So I guess I'll have to support it in spite of my misgivings including:
1) With last month's ban in California of open carry, 11-0056 does not permit open carry.
2) No limit on the sheriff to deny on the basis of history of substance abuse (from which people recover) or domestic abuse (which may be subject to a vindictive partner).
3) It's onorus specification of firearm(s) permissible to carry.
4) The stingy time interval of validity of only two years for citizens.
To the author, I offerred a link to Tenn. Code Ann. § 39-17-1351, which I say is closer to empowerment of the citizen and more restraining of government to infringe on the RKBA.
I'm interested to hear how other states' permits compare to these shortcomings and your personal contentment with your states' recognition of your rights in these regards.
And from Californians - whether this initiative is acceptable sufficiently for your support or what:questionmark:

Mayfair has become so weird and foreign, I've taken to pretty much avoiding it. If I want weird and foreign, I'll go abroad. Apart from anything else, I'm scared of the natives: its restaurant population, with few exceptions, is savage, ready to scalp you at the first sign of weakness. Order a side dish and see.
So what am I doing wandering up and down Cork Street, unable to find my destination because it's too superior for a sign, and marvelling at the galleries where you need a mink onesie just to survive the frost from opening the door? I've been lured by the promise of upscale Mexican food, something hard to get in the UK, whatever the current rash of burrito joints would have you believe. At Peyote, the menu has been created "in consultation" – how I love that fudgiest of phrases – with Eduardo García of Mexico City's celebrated Maximo Bistrot. Mexican food done well is a riot of tastebud-frotting flavours, a cuisine to horn up the most jaded palate. So, yes, I'll travel.
Past the thick velvet curtain is the least ergonomic room I've graced in a while. You need to be Mayfair-thin to negotiate the tables without getting your arse in someone's arroz. There's a downstairs room complete with taco counter, but we're not offered this option. I appreciate that our fellow diners – lots of American accents, very hedge-fundy – don't give a monkey's about the odd quid here and there (you should see the wine list), but when I'm offered guacamole and chips while waiting for the pal, I don't anticipate £7.50 for the guac – a weaselly, underpowered version dandruffed with bland queso fresco, and not a patch on what I knock up for an al-desko lunch. Plus dips at a further four quid: árbol, salsa verde cruda, all riffs on different chillis and tomatillos. Only salsa de molcajete has any personality.
Our food comes, as is fashionable, at the whim of the kitchen. But these aren't courses anyway, they're canapés. Tacos the size of communion wafers, topped with teaspoons of this and that: pork pibil, sludgy and slow-cooked with a backnote of orange and chilli; a morsel of soft-shell crab, cleanly fried, with heavenly cebollas curtidas – crisp, pink pickled onions – on top. Nice enough, but at £12 for three, I'd prefer wow. Never mind "better in Mexico"; at defiantly unswanky street food event Hawker House, I've had tacos from Breddo's that made these taste like damp cardboard.
Quesadilla of hongos (mushrooms with gooey cheese) are as bland as rusks and tiny as the tacos. Laminado of yellowtail, aka tarted-up sashimi, Nobu-style, features creamily beauteous fish, slut-shamed by its microherb and truffle oil dressing. Then tostadas of cactus: coppery-tasting, tinned-textured, teeny-weeny. Top marks, though, for masa dough that tastes homemade.
Peyote makes a bit of a thing about its cocktails, but they're as underpowered as the guacamole. The gorgeous velvet margarita, laced with avocado and topped with a purple pansy, transports the pal to poolside drinking at cheap hotels. Only two things leave an impression of loveliness: blowsy sugar-and-cinnamon churros with a pungent chocolate sauce, and the honeyed Mexican wine, LA Cetto chenin blanc, recommended as an accompaniment.
For Peyote – how odd to call it after a hallucinogenic drug – Arjun Waney, the restaurateur behind Roka, Zuma and La Petite Maison, has teamed up with brand consultant Tarun Mahrotri. Perhaps, then, this restaurant is less about passion than about brainstorming. What hasn't Mayfair got? A posh Mexican! Maybe that's unfair: perhaps it's because Waney's neighbouring Coya is coining it, so Latin America is where it's at. Whatever, he's clearly smoking hot at giving rich people what they want: hardly any food for huge wads of cash. Love the lampshades made from plastic bottles by war-displaced artisans in Colombia, though. They go really well with the wall of lockers for personal bottles of rare tequila.
• Peyote 13 Cork Street, London W1, 020-7409 1300. Open lunch, Mon-Fri, noon-2.30pm; dinner, Mon-Sat, 6-10.30pm. About £65 a head, with drinks and service.

[NOTE: Central New York's Casey Vock will be checking in through the season with reports from the regional high school scene.]
J-D takes down West Genny; Grimm-less Carthage rolls Watertown; Lakers over Maroons; Bville over CBA
Casey Vock
Jamesville-DeWitt vs. West Genesee – March 30
Central New York high school lacrosse action began to pick up Tuesday night in Camillus as the West Genesee Wildcats hosted the Jamesville-DeWitt Red Rams in a clash of the reigning Class A and Class B champs of Section 3.
However, the historically dominant Wildcats were no match for J-D, led by Syracuse-bound senior midfielder Jake Bratek's 6 goal, 1 assist effort. Senior attackman Eric DeJohn also netted four goals and Cam Stone scored 3 times for the Rams.
It was the first time Jameseville-DeWitt has defeated West Genesee since 1978. Needless to say, this was a huge win for the Red Rams.
West Genny was able to keep it close in the first half, which ended 6-5 in favor of J-D. They were led by Navy-bound midfielder John Glessener, who scored 3 goals in the contest.
J-D would outscore the Wildcats 10-4 in the second half and cruised to the victory in both teams' season opener.
J-D next faces Fulton at home on April 6 at 4:30. West Genny will take on the Carthage Comets from the Frontier League tonight.
Carthage vs. Watertown – March 30
The Carthage Comets outscored the Watertown Cyclones 11-2 in the first half, cruising to a 16-10 win Tuesday night in the Frontier League.
Junior Nick Piroli scored twice and dished out 7 assists while middie Derek Kehoe (Ohio State) and Kyle Temple both scored 3 goals. Junior attackman/middies Hunter Craig and Jon Woodworth both had 1 goal and 2 assists in the win.
Carthage was, for the most part, without the services of star junior attackman Tom Grimm (Syracuse). Grimm, the younger brother of UMBC sophomore Rob Grimm, suffered an ACL injury last fall and is still recovering. He went into the game for only about 20 seconds Tuesday night, scoring on a man-up chance for the Comets. Ventiquattro quickly took him out.
"He's been working out with us regularly since the season started, but he's been limited to non-contact drills," Ventiquattro said. "But he's been busting his tail in practice to do what he can for us, and he's just jumping in whenever he can."
Ventiquattro said it's reassuring knowing he may be able to pull Grimm off the bench in man-up situations until he gets back to full-strength.
"It's great to know I've got that ace in the hole. But I don't even know about recovery time in terms of him getting back to the normal Tom that we've seen. We are just glad to have to have him in the shape he's in. I'm happy for him because he's really worked hard. With his injury the estimate was 4 to 6 months, and he's on the short end."
"Whenever a kid gets hurt and can't play, I tell him, if nothing else you should gain more of an appreciation for the privilege to play the game. I think because Tom took that time off, and seeing him stewing on the sidelines, he'll have that extra passion when he does get in."
In Grimm's absence, Ventiquattro said his team still managed to execute their game plan well.
The coach said the surprise of the game was Watertown letting Tyler Beyor carry the ball up the field on clears, something he said helped the senior netminder to improve his overall game, as he crossed the midfield on four of the Comets early clearing attempts.
"He's not just a save and outlet guy. He only gave up two goals against Watertown. That is as good a game as he's had for us."
Ventiquattro said that Watertown is a team that will come into its own as the season moves forward.
Faceoff middie Tommy Capone, who will attend Brown next year, is going to be a key to Watertown's success.
"They don't make better kids than Tommy (Capone)," Ventiquattro said. "I tell my kids that all the time, and they love to compete against him."
Capone is tough to beat at the faceoff X and Ventiquattro expects him to perform well at the next level when he suits up for Brown.
Hunter Craig, filling in at midfield for Grimm, faced off against Capone and managed to create several loose ball situations off the draw, which Ventiquattro said was really all he could ask for against the Watertown senior.
Another player to watch, Ventiquattro said, is Watertown junior attackman Mike Madill, who did not register any points, but created several plays when Carthage began subbing. "As soon as we got away from our starters at all, he exposed us."
The Comets starting defense, however, should be strong this year with senior Pat Gibbons. A returning Under Armor underclass All-American, first-team All-North selection, and five-year starter, Gibbons is listed at 6'3", 228 pounds. He is still undecided on college plans, but should have a big senior year anchoring the defense. Junior defender Nate Koster (who happens to be a cousin of the Dingman brothers), along with Tom Grimm, Nick Piroli and Derek Kehoe, started in the NYS State Class B championship game against Rocky Point as a freshman.
"We are going to be as good as Pat (Gibbons) and Tyler (Beyor)," Ventiquattro said. "We've got an experienced defense with a two-year starter in goal, who is a captain, along with two of our other captains, Gibbons and senior Shane Eager."
Interestingly, Carthage has a student-athlete on the roster who transferred from St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, Ohio. His name is Robbie Strife and his parents, being from the Carthage area, decided to move back home, Ventiquattro said. Strife, who was a starter at his former school, will play both midfield and attack for the Comets.
"He's got all the tools to be successful," the coach said. "He's a big, strong kid who can shoot hard."
However, Strife, like Grimm, is coming off an injury and is not able to participate in practice as much as Grimm has recently, but stood out for Carthage last summer.
"The bad news for everybody else is that eight of my main guys are underclassmen. So, barring injury, our offense will be together for another year."
Looking at this season, the coach pointed to Jamesville-DeWitt as standing out early.
"People say to me that this has to be our year because of our experience on defense, but after what J-D did to West Genny the other night, I don't think you can say it's anybody's year. They are certainly the team to beat."
Baldwinsville vs. Christian Brothers Academy (Syracuse) – March 27
The high-flying Baldwinsville attack racked up the points Saturday afternoon as the Bees nearly doubled up on the Brothers of CBA 19-10 in a non-division game at Solvay High School.
Senior attackman Evan States (Union College) led the Bees with 3 goals and 7 assists, while 2009 All-American attackman Billy Ward (Syracuse) poured in 5 goals and assisted on 3 more. Senior midfielder Dom Darcangelo (Cortland State) scored 5 times and recorded 1 assist and senior middie Kyle Styer, who is considering Cortland State, had 2 goals and 2 assists in the victory.
CBA senior midfielder Jered DePalma (Yale) led the Brothers with 5 goals and 2 assists in the loss.
The teams tallied 6 goals each in the first quarter, but both offenses were shut out for a majority of the second quarter until Ward exploded for two goals in a matter of a minute and a half, giving the Bees an 8-6 lead heading into the half.
CBA would tie the game at 8 early in the third quarter, but four consecutive scores by Baldwinsville allowed them to pull away and hold a 13-9 advantage heading into the fourth quarter, never looking back.
In the cage, junior Tom Lefancheck and freshman Parker Ferrigan combined to make 19 saves in the win.
Baldwinsville head coach Peter Fiorini, who has been at the helm for 30 years, said his team could have scored more had it made better decisions when shooting.
"We scored 19 goals and probably should have scored 25, if not for poor shooting technique at times and poor shot selection at times," Coach Fiorini said. But he also pointed to CBA goaltender Matt Berkery's outstanding play in the cage, where he made 21 saves despite the loss.
"I think (CBA) will get a lot better as the season goes along," Fiorini said. "The game was the first for both teams, and I think both teams were jittery."
This season, he said, the experienced seniors on the team, including Ward, States, Darcangelo and Styer, will be relied upon to drive the team's success.
"We have a very veteran offense," he said. "The other end of the field is where we need much more work. The top returning player is (defenseman) Niko Manning, who is without question one of the top players in Section 3."
Manning, a senior and third-team All-CNY selection in 2009, is considering prep school in Virginia with aspirations of attending the University of Virginia, Fiorini said.
Fiorini's team fell to Corcoran 10-9 last season in the opening round of the Section 3 Class A playoffs, and he is hopeful that this year's team will be able to make a deeper run than the last.
"As far as the season goes, there are about seven teams that I believe can win the Class A section this year: West Genny, Baldwinsville, Fayetteville-Manlius, Auburn, Liverpool, Corcoran, and Cicero-North Syracuse. I hope it is us. We must improve vastly for that to happen."
Skaneateles vs. Auburn – March 30
Senior attackman Kelly Donigan (Binghamton) scored 5 goals and recorded 2 assists to lead the Skaneateles Lakers in a 19-10 victory over the Auburn Maroons. Junior attackman Kevin Rice also had a big game for Skaneateles, scoring 4 times and assisting on 2 other scores. Paul O'Donnell added 2 goals and 2 assists, including a highlight-reel behind-the-back shot early in the second half that helped ignite an 11-1 run by the Lakers, putting the game out of Auburn's reach. Michael Richards – great name – also contributed 2 goals.
Leading Auburn was captain midfielder/attackman Andrew Chadderon (Le Moyne) with 4 goals and 1 assist. Cornell-bound senior captain attackman Connor Entenmann netted 3 goals and assisted on another for the Maroons.
Fayetteville-Manlius vs. Whitesboro – March 30
The Hornets of Fayetteville-Manlius opened up the season Tuesday night with a 10-3 victory over the visiting Whitesboro Warriors, a team also playing its first regular season contest of 2010.
The Whitesboro defense was able to keep the score respectable throughout the game, but the lack of offensive production hurt the Warriors in the end, as they would score 1 goal in the first three quarters before being blanked 3-0 in the final frame.
Senior attackman Matt Klepper (Merrimack) led F-M with 3 goals and 2 assists. Andrew Murphy contributed 2 goals and junior attackman Ari Waffle finished with 1 goal and 1 assist in the winning effort. Goaltender Stefan Basile made 10 saves for the Hornets, allowing only three goals in the contest.
Whitesboro was led by senior attackman/midfielder Chris Gibbs, who had 1 goal and 1 assist.

Sorry to see you go Bhanu. Be well.
Bhanu! I totally understand the need not to invite insanity or the insane-making into one's life. But I will miss your posts like crazy. : )
From those of us listening from the sidelines: yours have been some of the most interesting posts to appear on this blog in some time, often a vital supplement to your wonderful work. The current group one of the most generative to have appeared all at once on this blog–& one of the most generous in the comment streams. Exit understandable, but lamentable… w/admiration
As ever, I am excited and challenged by your writing. Some of these alleys are on my map too.
some farewell notes on shit on the body, for comrade bhanu–
from rukeyser's sonnets for the unborn child:
'there is no father' they came and said to me.
–i have known fatherless children, the searching, walk
the world, look at all faces for their father's life.
their choice is death or the world. and they do choose.
earn their brave set of bone, the seeking marvelous look
of those who use and lose and know their lives…
…child who within me gives me dreams and sleep,
your sleep, your dreams; you hold me in my flesh
including me where nothing has included
until i said: i will include, i will wish
and in my belly be a birth, will keep
all delicacy, all delight unclouded…
from agamben on parody and shit:
the institution of parody as the form of mystery perhaps defines the most extreme of the parodic countertexts of the middle ages, in which the aura of mystery at the center of chivalric intention is converted into the most unrestrained scatology. i am referring to AUDIGIER, a poem in old french composed sometimes around the end of the twelfth cen. and preserved in a single manuscript. the genearlogy and entire existence of its antihero and protagonist are inscribed within a constellation that is resolutely cloacal. his father, turgibus, is lord of cocuce, 'a soft country/where the people are in shit up to their elbows./i got there by swimming through a stream of crap,/and i couldn't get out again through any other hole.' concerning this noble gentleman, of whom audigier shows himself to be a worthy heir, we know that 'when he shit all over his clothes,/he stuck his fingers in the crap, and sucked on them.' but the true parodic nucleus of the poem is found in the imitation of the ceremony of knightly investiture, which unfolds in a dung pit, and, above all, in the repeated struggles with the enigmatic old grinberge. these struggles unfailingly end in a sort of mock scatological sacrament, which audigier undergoes like 'a true gentleman':
grinberge uncovered her ass and cunt
and squatted down over his face.
shit fell from her ass in great profusion [grant foison].
while audigier lay down on a dung heap,
grinberge sat on him and rubbed his ankles.
twice she had him kiss her ass until it was wiped clean.
this is less a return to the womb or an initiate's trial than an audacious inversion of the stakes in the chivalric quest…it is even possible that the unknown author of the poem is confusing and rendering indiscernible the threshold that separates the sacred and profane, love and sexuality, the sublime and the base…
still, we must give a name to all that has been undone
tie a string to the weightless joy that we have sent into the sun
you don't wanna have a baby
once it gets out it ain't ever coming back
put your milk back in the udder, babe
i drink my coffee black
Shame. I read once, in an old Cordwainer Smith bit, that the only reason people go like Ted Bundy is a very old sex-need for the smell of blood, for nipping. It's something to do with wrinkling one's nose. And with holding the door open to demons. Being killed is not an honor. Those who do this should live outside the villages, alone with their wealth and needs. Anyone can be trained to this, like a hungry hungry dog in a closet that still loves and loves, but conflates the smell of love with the drawing back of the lips. Anyone. It is a lovely dance, to avoid violence, it stretches one out and strengthens one, for there is violence in everything. Old animals, we are old animals, and we show our teeth to each other in this dark, old hands, we are old hands and we touch each other in this space of time. We wear old animals, we smell old animals and hide them in thick robes and powdered wigs that we may gather and conspire, and perspire, and lie, without smelling each other out and the tearing of throats.
Which brings me to the snake puke. Bhanu, you freak me out on a regular basis, and I landed back here today after spending a very strange and unhappy day following my mind's weather tether spiderwise through the web, which led me to some places strange and awful, and out to the interesting paintings of an MPD trauma victim named Kim Noble. Snake puke, wands, caducei and healing.
Meat blanket. (deep breath before going down here) Not only war can make the strain that makes a predator. Meat blanket….nonviolence….different sex…
MEAT BLANKET: sometimes the way out is through a sock, eh? Sometimes one's sexual territory was taken, long, long ago. What do you do if you lose sovereignty, and discover the fact too late, after war has been declared? Do you carry on in the role of governance, while another pulls the strings that make your blanket dance?
I'll read Lonzano, what I can dig up. I have a feeling it may be important for me. I can feel a woman's presence in your questions but can only respond with an autosexual's snake puke.
I find the truth in what you say from 17 on to be unbearably cleaner than the self-regard of most of my own mirrors.
I'm almost done.
@Bhanu: Butterflies: there are, children: there are, lepidopterous old snakes, there are, there are. Bye, Bhanu – been neat to know you.
I'll miss your wild sentences, Bhanu.
The question of sex & territory — yes. Reproduction, survival of one's genes, territory, resources.
We're animals all right.
And it's painful!
Internet rage = road rage. Seeing the world through a glass. (Windshield, computer screen.) Feeling invisible/invulnerable on the other side of the screen. The people on the TV aren't real. Driving is a movie. Who are those jerks to cut me off when I've got my music playing, soundtrack to my motion-picture landscape screening?
I was 22. My girlfriend's ex-boyfriend was coming to visit and she said she was going to sleep with him. An old friend invited me to go to Texas, to visit the ranch his mother had grown up on, then go to Houston to see his brother, who had just eloped and come back to town; I accepted the offer. Friends of my friend's brother's (and new sister-in-law's) were throwing them a party out in a small house in the country east of Houston, toward Louisiana. We went. Someone hired someone's housekeeper's nephew to wash dishes at the party. A young guy, 19 or 20, nice guy — we rode back together in the back of my friend's brother's pickup, lying on our backs, looking at the stars. He said he'd never seen such stars in his life. I wonder whether he'd ever been outside of Houston in his life. We fell asleep and woke up in a traffic jam on the clogged late night Houston highway. And I realized what those windshields are for. To keep the world out.
It is good to have someone at home.
Thanks for your writing.
@John: Had a flip through Utopian Turtle Top. Good stuff + thx. It is sad to see Bhanu give up the blogging. She's good, and it's nice to have access to the process and thought of someone that good at their job. There are lots of other competent writers and minds here, but most of them are entirely too dry and hard without the spice and leavening of Bhanu's wild leaping prose. @Bhanu: I'm sad if your post reflects a bad experience blogging here. Hope, you take it with you.
ps what are the shadow blogs? they sound…scary
Oh this is very sad. I will miss your posts terribly. Please take good care.
"It may be lively debate for some, but it isn't for all. I don't understand the basic inability to acknowledge this difference. That we don't all think, communicate or write the same.
Difference isn't a flaw."
Sina, I respectfully suggest that you try some of your own medicine. Respect the different tones & levels of commentary. This doesn't mean you have to agree with them; but neither do you have to be upset by them. Allowing serious disagreements & arguments about what are really public matters (the philosophy & practice of translation, for example) is necessary for free expression & democratic process & diversity. Rather than pointing fingers, why not accept that there may be such actual differences of opinion?
By criticizing Thom Donovan's or others' stated opinions about translation, I am NOT discounting that there can be widely differing views & practices of same. In fact I would suggest that airing such criticism as mine allows such differences to emerge more clearly. It's a dialectical, dialogical process.
& by the way, my "cows" remark to Rich Villar was meant as a joke, as playful satire. I am sorry you take it SO seriously. & it was meant as a (playful, satirical) response to what was quite a negative comment of Rich's about other participants in these conversations.
I have been called a fucking cunt a few times in my life. One time is particularly memorable. Although I have been referred to as a "stupid twat" and compared unfavorably to a "Thai whore," I have never been called a fucking cunt online. On the off chance I might be someday, a few years back I thought about how I would respond. I decided I'd go with: "That's Ms. Fucking Cunt to you."
Bhanu, don't let the online bastards and bitches or an occasionally bitchy but lower than a Thai wench like myself get you down. If you can, I hope you stick around.
*Listening to: Bill Conti's "Gonna Fly Now" (Theme From Rocky)*
Bhanu: A very good friend of mine recommended your work. I shall find it and read it closely. (Something good had to come from this thing, yes?)
Dear Shadow Bloggers, you may not read this as for you the internet is now, and four days old you can't read. I went to your blog one day (scairklal.djla — oh! you aren't in a position to have a name.) Anyway, insult is your logic; have we communicated? If anything in the aboveforementioned is true, either implied or openly expressed, then, yes, what I gained from the brief reading of your blogger seems to stand. You can not write and from your comments: you can't read. Of course, writing insults is for amateurs. The rest of us will go on to engage the genius of B.K. and other things of value… But if there is a problem // we can step outside.
Jarvis Fosdick, Gentlemen
Good on you Jarvis. Be cautious of people who hate. Instructed not to, I disobediently attempted to follow the address you left, curious furious and all the other things a person gets to be. Of course, they have left. I adore your doubleslash gloves on the ground, lying where you left 'em after spoiling them by slapping something so filthy in the face.
You please me with your chivalrous courage, sir.

The best hot dog I ever ate was made in an old fashioned butcher shop in our town out on the plains of North Dakota.
Growing up, I was surrounded by the German recipes and traditions that were brought to our area by our early immigrants. This is one of those recipes.
It's as close to the original as time and research will allow it to be.
I remember it as being made with a combination of beef and pork, and that's the way I do it now. It is perfectly O.K. to use all of one kind or the other though.
2 lbs lean beef chuck and 3 lbs lean pork shoulder1 tablespoon onion powder2 teaspoons garlic powder1 tablespoon paprika1 tablespoon kosher salt1 tablespoon ground mace1 tablespoon ground white pepper (can substitute black)1 tablespoon sugar1 teaspoon ground coriander1 teaspoon ground mustard1/2 teaspoon ground celery seed1/2 teaspoon ground dried marjorami cup non-fat dried milk powder2 egg whites1 teaspoon #1 cure (prague powder or Instacure)1 cup ice water
Traditionally, wieners don't have a heavy smoke flavor. I find using one pan of wood chips and applying the smoke for only the first 60 to 90 minutes of the cooking/curing process is about right.
You can also finish this "best hot dog recipe" by cooking them in simmering (180-200 degree F) water until they reach 152 degrees internally. If you choose this method, add 2 teaspoons of liquid smoke to the meat mixture when you add the rest of the spices.

About Me
I have been on the Blog for about 3 years. And, during this time I've explored many avenues by many means. Fundamentally, I am simply a snap shooter. Consequently, I am do not use a serious camera like an interchangeable lens camera. Nor do I use a high end editor like PhotoShop or Paint Pro. Over the years I have purchased several point and shoot cameras; each for a specific purpose. Some with creative filters. Some with a good manual capability. Presently, I use a Nikon for its speed. Throughout this period I have tried various genres of photography to shoot. Presently, my love is for candid and street photography. I just love having fun doing what I do. You won't see a particularly large number of photos in my account here on the Blog because I frequently delete large numbers of them. I don't take myself nor my photography too seriously. I am not doing art. I am having fun.

I like to walk. That is my main enjoyment. Because I care for my mom full time, I don't have much else to be involved with. I like photography because carrying a camera on a walk makes me notice more and look harder at what I pass. I like funny slants on things.

Klimaire Circuit board burnt...
Hello All,
Brand new to this DIY site. I have a Klimaire KSIM40912-H216 (4 zone) system who's heat system is not working. I can hear it calling for heat but unit shuts down after a few minutes. I uncovered the interior main (green) circuit board on the outdoor unit. There I found 4 blue, plastic covered, what appear to be relays. Three of them are badly charred on the outside and the green board where they are attached is charred as well. I presume I will have to change out that board, and soon, it's getting cold at night and Mama, she don't lika da cold :no:. I've taken a few pictures of the burned items/circuit board and can post them if necessary. What I need to know right now is, how/where do I get the numbers/brand needed to obtain a replacement board? There are a couple of sets of numbers on the board. What should I be looking for specifically?
Secondly, what might these 4 small (1/2 in wide, 1 in long 3/4 tall) blue "relays" really be and how could they have burned up? Could the last service tech I had have fried them some how? :furious: Thanks for what ever anyone can do in the way of answers.
Coach Mac
You need model and serial number of the unit. Klimaire seems to sell on many sites on the internet. So one of those sellers will probably sell that board also.
Relays could have burnt out due to an electrical surge.
BeenThere (and others),
Thanks for the info. Do you have any suggestions for distributors? When you say "electrical surge" could that have been via a thunder storm lighting strike nearby? Thanks.
Coach Mac
Lightening strikes can do it.
Not a brand that I deal with, so no idea on distributors.

Nice and clean with a great shower. Washing machine was very handy.
Looking forward to the new elevator.
Great location and host.
Luca met us at the train and took us to the apartment.
All was well.
We were met at the train depot and given assistance with luggage. We never minded the 4 flights of stairs, as it was needed after daily sampling of local cuisines. Nice to have washing machine after traveling for sometime, and an outdoor line from the window for air drying. We shipped the local fish market and also found freshly made pasta along with farm veggies and we put the kitchen to good use. Luca toured us though the area and gave great suggestions for daily activities.
Luca met us at the station and walked with us to the apartment - helping with our luggage. He and his father carried our suitcases up the stairs to the apartment ( we understand that a lift is to be constructed in the near future). The apartment is in a great location near to the beach and the main piazza, comfortable and very well appointed. Luca provides a mobile data/wireless unit that you can take in your bag or pocket so that, if you wish to be, you are always connected. The kitchen and dining area was so well set up, including a dishwasher, that we catered and cooked for ourselves on most nights. Shopping is very easy and nearby. Luca took great interest in us and was extremely helpful with information on what to do and see in and around Santa Margherita. We would thoroughly recommend this apartment.
My wife and I spent a few weeks in Italy this summer. We found all our accommodation through vrbo and similar sites. This apartment was our favorite. It felt the most like a "home." The kitchen has new appliances, there was plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Multiple AC units were great to cool off from the summer heat. There was a new tv and wifi service for those who like to stay connected.
Luca was a great host. He met us at the train station, walked us around town, and pointed out restaurants, points of interest, and shops and banks. He even took us to the market. It is clear that he likes his town and he is happy to help you enjoy your vacation.
If we return to the riviera, we will stay here again.
This was our 4th trip to Italy but have never been to the Riviera. We decided to stay at Santa Margherita as a base from which to explore the area and hike nearby Cinque Terre. The apartment is in a GREAT location, central to everything, very clean, well equipped, and comfortable! It is but a few minutes walk to the train station, ferry, restaurants, beach, shops, markets. No need to rent a car.
We have traveled extensively and used to stay in hotels but have found apartments more relaxing. This was an excellent choice. Luca and his father were very accommodating, very friendly and aim to please. The apartment is on the top floor (6th floor) with no lift, which did not bother us one bit but might be a consideration to others. It was a great way to burn off all the good food and gelato.
Although Luca has provided plenty of pictures in the site, I was still pleasantly surprised at how cozy and pretty the actual apartment was. All the renovations done were excellent. The kitchen, bedrooms, living rooms and bathrooms were spacious, considering it is in an old building.
I highly recommend this place.
My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights as part of an Italian vacation for our 30 year anniversary. We stayed in the town 2 years ago and made it a priority to return on this trip----we fell in love with Santa Margherita the first time and were not disappointed upon our return trip.
The apartment gave us a spectacular view and was much better than staying in a nice hotel. The apartment is in a great location , with easy access to restaurants. Beach, shops, the train station, and ferry. The owner was very helpful with info we needed, and has done a great job with the renovation. We were even met with beautiful flowers as an anniversary gift!
All in all it was a great experience and we would recommend the apartment for many different types of people and interests.
Oct., 2014
Take the A12 and exit at Rapallo following the direction of Santa Margherita Ligure. The house is situated in a central location in Santa Margherita Ligure area round to the sea. Here you have a great time, like being at home but ... on the sea!
In the immediate vicinity, the store stocked Marco Rovegno, the delicacies of Pinamonti, rotisserie Revelant, the very nice bar black stallion, where we go ourselves when we are in Santa Margherita, and just a few meters there is the post office, Bank, clothing stores, shoe ecc.
Who is looking for fun, just try the disco 'The Covo of Nord Est.'
And more..the services boats,to go to places like Portofino (telephone number 0185 284670).
There is service for renting bicycles, sailing boat, and in cities very near there are horse riding, golf and much more.
In Santa Margherita not missing anything,we 're waiting you!

Helpline in support of victims of crime launched in Albania » 17/06/2014
Tirana, 16 June 2014: A 24-hour free telephone line, 116 006, was set up and launched for victims of crime. This national helpline offers support and services to victims of crime, primarily victims and potential victims of trafficking, and is supported by UNODC as part of its continued partnership with the Office of the National Coordinator on Human Trafficking Issues. The ultimate goal of the helpline is to curb the number of trafficked women and children in Albania.
The ceremony, which also marked the launch of the application Report and Save, was attended by the Prime Minister of Albania H.E. Mr. Edi Rama, the Minister of Interior, the UN Resident Coordinator in Albania, the Ambassador of the USA in Tirana, the Acting Head of the EU Delegation and other dignitaries.
UNODC in close partnership with the Office of the National Coordinator on Human Trafficking Issues has examined all elements of the helpline, in particular the needs of the victims and the involvement of the local communities in the reporting of offenses. This approach was specifically adapted to ensure the sustainability of the helpline and to prioritize prevention over prosecution and protection.
Speaking on behalf of UNODC, the UN Resident Coordinator in Albania stated that the free helpline for victims of crime was a significant practical achievement. The line will be not only helping victims but also will become a tool in support of law enforcement agencies and researchers. It will assess the criminality rate as well as the performance of the police in addressing the reported cases. The Resident Coordinator noted that the UN believed that the new line would be synonymous with trust, ethics, advice and service.
UNODC in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior of Albania will be engaged in an active public awareness campaign basing on the premise that fight against human trafficking, drug trafficking and other forms of crime are critical issues impacting the overall situation in the country.

text: INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: ALSN), announced today the sale of 25,000,000 shares of its common stock by investment funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group and Onex Corporation (the "Sponsors"). In addition, the underwriter will have an option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional shares from the Sponsors. All of the shares are being sold on a pro rata basis by the Sponsors, which are existing stockholders of Allison Transmission Holdings, Inc. ("Allison"), in accordance with their current interests. Allison will not receive any of the proceeds from the offering of shares by the Sponsors. Closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about February 28, 2014, subject to customary closing conditions.Subject to completion of the offering, Allison will repurchase from the underwriter approximately $100 million of the 25,000,000 shares of common stock being sold by the Sponsors. Allison's per-share purchase price for the repurchased shares will be the same as the per-share purchase price payable by the underwriter to the Sponsors. The repurchased shares will no longer be outstanding following completion of the offering. Allison intends to fund the repurchase with cash on hand. Credit Suisse Securities ( USA) LLC is acting as the sole underwriter for the offering. Credit Suisse Securities ( USA) LLC proposes to offer the shares of common stock from time to time to purchasers directly or through agents, or through brokers in brokerage transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, or to dealers in negotiated transactions or in a combination of such methods of sale, at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Following the offering and shares repurchase, the Sponsors will continue to beneficially own an aggregate of 74,392,499 shares, or approximately 41% in the aggregate, of Allison's outstanding common stock after giving effect to the offering and shares repurchase (or 70,642,499 shares, or approximately 39% in the aggregate, if the underwriter fully exercises its option to purchase additional shares). The total number of outstanding shares of Allison's common stock will not change as a result of the offering to the public, but will be reduced by the number of shares repurchased by Allison.

Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez 's right ankle still isn't right. According to NFL Network's Albert Breer, Hernandez will not play today versus the Bills. This will be the fifth game that Hernandez has missed this season because of the ankle, which he originally sprained back in Week 2. He returned in Week 6 but then was held back from flying to London in Week 8, and the bye week apparently didn't help him enough. Visanthe Shiancoe was activated from injured reserve on Saturday and will take his spot, but he is of no use in fantasy.
Fantasy Analysis:
High ankle sprains are no joke, kids. This is a really concerning situation now. We thought the bye week would eliminate this issue, but it didn't. Hernandez even went through some limited practice during the week but right now, there's really no clear return date. We'll check back on him in Week 11. Unfortunately, he will miss a great matchup against a bad Bills defense, but the Patriots have plenty of other options to pick up the slack, obviously.

Ed Sheeran may have met taylor Swift first and might have gotten a tattoo celebrating their recent collaboration for her latest album 'Red' but even he sees why she chose Harry Styles over him.
The 'A Team' hitmaker is a big fin of the US country singer but admitted that there is no chance of them ever being more than friends, because he thinks he's too ginger for the blonde beauty.
Harry and Taylor have been dating since earlier this month and things seem to have gotten hot and heavy between the pair. They holidayed together in New York, enjoyed a romantic break in the Lake District for her birthday, partied in LA and last week went skiing in Utah…it's been a long month.
Sheeran doesn't have any hard feelings or bear and grudges against his 1D pal because he thinks Taylor never would have fancied him anyway.
"We had great fun when we met," he told the Daily Star. "But I don't think I'm Taylor's type.
"If you look at all the dudes she's dated, they're all tall, brown hair, brown eyes, very attractive and all the girls scream for them.
"I'm chubby, ginger with blue eyes."
We personally think that Ed is definitely top totty and he's being overly modest with all tgis ginger talk. Who says ginger can't great eh?
He may be better off out of it anyway, as it's been reported that Swift is taking things a bit too fast for Harry's liking and some insiders claim she's already planning for him to be her baby daddy.
He's 18, she's 23 and apparently the 'Love Story' hitmaker is getting broody.
A source told OK! magazine: "Taylor loves babies [and] would like to have a child of her own while she's still in her 20s."
Read how Hazza reacted to her baby talk here and leave your Ed vs Harry comments below…

Hidradenitis and cosmetic procedures; is it possible to relieve through cosmetic procedures?
Hello! (This is my first post, can you tell how excited I am?)I am a long time sufferer of Hidradenitis Suppurativa. For those who do not know what it is, it is a skin disease inherited through genetics that causes boils and lesions to form in areas of your skin that rub together and otherwise sweat. For me, these areas or underneath my arms, in between my breasts, and in my groin area. After dealing with this issue for about 15 years, I have tried everything. The issue first emerged when I was at my lowest weight at 14 years old and since weight has increased (and deceased) the flare ups have gotten worse and two surgeries later, I am scarred and still in pain. Does anyone have any information in regards to hidradenitis being relieved in cosmetic procedures? How about insurance coverage for these procedures?

Spunk & Bite: A Writer's Guide to Bold, Contemporary Style (edition 2007)
by Arthur Plotnik
Work details
Spunk & Bite: A Writer's Guide to Bold, Contemporary Style by Arthur Plotnik
No current Talk conversations about this book.
You want to write a Blog, an article… oh anything in public in fact, well in the USA you have to deal with the style police. In Britain, they are known as the green ink grannies and are gently ignored; we don't do earnest. Well we almost did with A Dictionary of Modern English Usage, by Henry Watson Fowler which suggested about the split infinitive that the
…English-speaking world may be divided into (1) those who neither know nor care what a split infinitive is; (2) those who do not know, but care very much; (3) those who know and condemn; (4) those who know and approve; and (5) those who know and distinguish.
Thankfully this was by the 80's revised away from prescriptive American style policing so we are free to keep to the high standards of writing where expression is more important then style. Hmm, may have to come back to this.
But write in America and you judged by the book of truth, the book of righteous writing, the book correctness which all Americans know as The Elements of Style. Its roots go back to 1918 where William Strunk, Jr. wrote a 43-page booklet for the good students of Cornell University. And like all sensible guide for students was mainly ignored. But then in 1957, E.B.White, one of the top 20th century literary essayists (and yes author of Charlotte's Webb) wrote a piece praising the now largely forgotten William Strunk defence of lucid English. This led to the first edition that originally detailed eight elementary rules of usage, ten elementary principles of composition, "a few matters of form," and a list of commonly misused words and expressions. By the 80's and the 3rd edition, this had bloated up to Fifty-four pointers, along with a list of common mistakes concerning individual words: Eleven rules of punctuation and grammar; eleven principles of writing; eleven matters of form; and twenty-one reminders for a better style.
What Spunk and Bite by Arthur Plotnik (yes we get the pun but in Britain, you have now managed to create an embarrassed silence where we pretend not to have heard you) does is to challenge the prescription of dead white upper class Americans without arguing for do you own thing writing-see told you I would come back to it. To liven your writing, you need to know the rules, but then know when to break them. Be lucid but be fun and avoid at all times clichés except if they warm the cockles of your readers' heart.
One of the tips I have taken up is to subscribe to various words of the day to build up my wordbank. Two of my rave faves are vindictivolence, the desire of revenging oneself, and pinkwashing. This is using support for breast cancer research to market products, particularly products that cause cancer. All in all it comes up with 30 tips to sparkle up your writing that range from inventing words, changing the grammatical function of a word , having strong openings and closings, use semi-colons and dashes to break up sentence but above keeping in mind that the writing needs to make the content interesting.
Let's leave the final words to Arthur Plotnik:
Perceived correctness can be comforting to the reader, like a tidy house. But what distinguishes a piece of writing is the ambiance- the environmental mood- the language we create…tend to be judged on…aptness, inventiveness, colour, sound, rhythm…Spunk and Bite is our shorthand for such qualities…
