I am the one in the blue to the far right.
Several of my friends and I completed the 2 day Audi Experience at Infeneon March 17 & 18.
Day 1 was completed in the rain from start to finish, but that did not dampen our enthusiasm. After a short warmup in the parking lot pacticing apex turning and a slalom course it was out to the track. For those who are not familiar the 1 and 2 day courses they are all lead-follow when on the track with the instructor talking and pacing you around the track. With each session we got better and faster, all the time fighting the rain and spray from the lead car which at times caused significant anxiety. This was particularly true when all you could make out was break lights going into a tight 90 degree turn. By the end of day one we were hitting over 100mph on parts of the 2.5 mile 12 turn course all the time running a "wet line" around the track. I never knew there was that much traction in wet conditions.
Day 2 was dry and began with a track session. The improved conditions allowed us to begin to run a faster dry line around the track. We focused on getting in and out of the turns and where we needed to be entering the turns to hit the apex on the way out. Before we knew it lunch was served. Following lunch the staff set up an auto cross in the parking lot. After a couple of laps in the passenger seat of the instructors R8, we each got to do several three lap runs of our own. After the auto cross it was back on the track to "put down some fast laps", and that we did. The intensity really picked up with the instructors emphasizing how important it was at the speeds we were carrring to break hard when needed, hit the apex correctly, and not be late into the turns. The instructors were great, but at one point my instructor got on the wrong channel and I went 2 laps in radio silence. Wow, did I ever miss his guidence and reassurance. Lets just say I was really glad when he came back on the radio! As we went around the course, instructions such as "Now..Hard break to the floor", "get down to the apex", "Roll on, Roll on...Now, wide open..Go, Go, Go", "Good lap now lets go 3 mph faster". By the end we were hitting over 100 mph at several points on the track and topped out at around 113mph. For reference I was told NASCAR hits about 130 at the fastest point on the track.
It was a tremendous 2 days. Aside, the breakfast and lunches served were excellent.
Looking back, I am acutually glad we had one wet and one dry day as they gave you such different experiences. If you get the opprotunity and want to drive someone elses R8 like you stole it and at the same time get great instruction this is the ticket. I am now trying to find the time to get to the advanced course.

The Climb #2
This was the second stage of our climb. We were above the tree line and up to what I call "The Backbone" of the mountain. We were climbing up a narrow stretch of rocks with cliffs on each side. We go up this part of the trail to an area called "The Table Lands". A relatively flat area with a gradual climb to the peak.
Lots of breaks on the way. Water, gatorade, trail mix, slim jims and beef jerky. Oh, and plenty of chocolate.
ON the way to the summit, we find out that today is the day that several people are completing their journey of the entire Appalachian Trail.(Takes Months to do) So we are expecting to see more people at the summit than usual.

Underneath the Lintel follows a reclusive librarian as he sets out on a worldwide quest to track down the borrower of a book 123 years overdue.

O'Brien's rendition of Underneath the Lintel was voted Best Solo Show at the 2011 Minnesota Fringe and the 2012 London (Ontario) Fringe Theater Festival. The Saint Paul Pioneer Press hails O'Brien's performance as "'WOW'-inducing," and the London Free Press calls it "an award worthy performance."
O'Brien is a veteran film, television, and stage performer. His most notable film credits include The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Catch Me If You Can, Pleasantville, and Stuart Little, and his dozens of television credits include E.R., CSI, Monk, The West Wing, Married with Children, Sabrina, Baywatch, and Saved by the Bell.

Few things in sports have become as trite as bets between officials of cities whose teams are opposing each other in big games.
But the outcome of a wager between the mayors of Pittsburgh and Denver on the Broncos-Steelers playoff wasn't one of those traditional ones, where the politicians bet a bushel or three of whatever the farmers in their area grow best.
UPDATE: Pittsburgh's mayor is selling his Tebow jersey for charity.
This one had a humbling sting, thanks to Tim Tebow's game-ending touchdown pass on the first play of overtime.
And so it was that Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl had to don a No. 15 Denver Broncos jersey yesterday, and strike a "Tebowing" pose as the news media watched and filmed.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports that the mayor lamented: "This is not something I ever thought I'd have to do, and it's certainly not something I'm looking forward to. However, we're good sports here in Pittsburgh and I want to congratulate Denver on a great win."

Kozy Kaps 4 Kids
Kozy Kaps 4 Kids is a mission that has its roots in the heart of its founder, Marlene Betesh Maxion. After knitting hats for a friend with cancer, Marlene was inspired to bring a ray of sunshine to brighten the cloudy days of children battling the horrific disease of cancer. She founded Kozy Kaps 4 Kids and began hand delivering "chemo caps" to as many children in hospital wards as possible.
Women across the nation have joined Marlene on her "Mission in her Golden Years" by donating their precious time, yarns and talents to design and create colorful, fun, outstanding hand crafted "chemo caps". With their dedicated efforts, generosity and their contributions of their amazing creations, Marlene has personally delivered and gifted in excess of 18,000 Handmade - Unique Kozy Kaps since February 2006. Her Mission is her vision: Fruition! She travels to meet children personally in facilities near and far, from New York to Tenessee. Kozy Kaps 4 Kids has the honor of being "Grandfathered" into: The Ronald McDonald House, St. Jude Children's Hospital, and Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, as well as The Target House. We are greeted with "Open Arms" to visit children in the wards at the Janet Weiss Clinic in Danville, Pennsylvania and Philadelphia's Annual Christmas Festival for the Variety Club.
Three years ago Sabrina learned about Kozy Kaps from a friend, she emailed Marlene right away. It was a perfect match for them both. Sabrina has been sending hats with the helps of friends and coworkers for years now. Recently it was decided that she would become a satellite location in the Midwest. She is currently working on visiting hospitals in Illinois, Ohio and Michigan with the hopes of adding more as time allows.
Each Kozy Kap is like each child; unique and special in its own way. The faces of these incredibly brave children who are fighting cancer or other serious illnesses just beam with joy when choosing their own Kozy Kap. Although our focus is on the children, adult sizes are also created and available for gifting.
We hope that you will join us in our quest to reach children all over the United States. Please contact Marlene or Sabrina to arrange for your donations of hats or yarn. Financial donations are accepted via Pay pal on the website.

Second chances led Richard and I to meet on Catholic Match May 30,
2010. Richard had recently returned from a deployment in Iraq, and
gotten his marriage annulled. I had multiple negative experiences with
online dating, and knew in my heart that I needed to be in a
relationship with a Catholic man, so I came back to Catholic Match.
I'll admit, patience isn't one of my virtues, and my first experience
with CM was negative and caused me to give up. This time I told God
however long it took, wherever God placed him, I was ready to wait for
His timing to bring me the man I needed and wanted.
Ironically, it
was only a week after I began my membership that Richard sent me an
'emotigram.' God must've felt sorry for my little impatient heart.
to Richard was different from anyone I'd ever talked to online. He was
funny and his personality and humor were identical to mine, which
surprised me. I'm definitely quirky (and picky!) We'd bring up the same
random topics at the same time and send emails at the same time without
knowing what the other one had written. It seemed we were online within
minutes of each other, which was special in itself because we both have
extremely fluctuating schedules. We also were very honest and blunt
with each other about our relationship needs, wants and concerns. One
of MY big ones was deployment and what dating a man whose career was
the military would mean for me. Richard was honest about the positives
and the negatives, and I felt completely at ease (no pun intended)
about talking on the phone with him.
After emailing and chatting
for three days, we decided to talk on the phone, and our first call lasted
until almost 3AM! Poor Richard had to be up at 4:00AM for PT and was
late his first day back to base! He must not have minded too much
though, because throughout the day we'd text message each other and
talk every night for hours. Luckily we both had unlimited calling and
texting plans! 🙂 We made a plan to meet Sunday, June 6 (the day the
Lord has made!) at a halfway point between our towns (we live about 4
hours apart.) Unfortunately, the little town of Corsicana also decided
they needed a day of rest, and our first 'date' consisted of lunch at
the Cotton Patch, people watching at Wal-Mart, and aimlessly driving
around town until we found a park, where we decided 96 degrees was too
hot to sit outside and talk, so we sat in the car with the AC blowing
and talked for three hours. It sounds crazy, but that was the MOST fun I'd
had on a date, ever! We did not kiss that day, too many nerves,
but later on we both found out the other knew that day that we were
meant to be together.
Two weeks later I took a long weekend,
brought work with me (I love my job!) and road-tripped to Ft. Hood for
Richard's Military Ball and a long weekend getting to know him. Again
things didn't go as planned, but we had a wonderful weekend. Richard
hid a special surprise in my car before I left, and I wrote him little
notes and hid them in his house. We laughed and joked and enjoyed every
minute together, including sharing our first (of many!) kisses. That
weekend, we knew we wanted to be together. Since that day, we have
talked every day, sometimes more than once….ok ok, sometimes more
than 5 times! The texts fly fast and furious, and we are planning to
see each other (hopefully) every two weeks. Richard is respectful and
caring, funny, honest and open. He treats me with love and I feel God's
love through him. We talk openly about the future, and what it may hold
good and bad. Talking about God and our common faith is another thing
we enjoy and are building our relationship on! Keep checking for more
Advice for CM Users: Be patient! Pray for God to lead you
to the one HE knows you need. Richard was everything I have ever wanted
and more. He truly is my soulmate. Also, have pictures and a profile
that accurately reflects your personality! Both of us had friends make
sure our profiles were reflective of who we really are. Be honest with
yourself – can you really handle a LDR? What about someone with a job
that is dangerous or time-consuming? By being honest with yourself, you
allow God to work in your life.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX ends slightly lower; telecom losses offset energy gains
TORONTO, March 7 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index ended little changed on Thursday as gains in energy shares on higher oil prices were offset by a drop in telecom stocks after the Canadian government moved to boost competition in the sector. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed down 5.44 points, or 0.04 percent, at 12,826.52. Six of the 10 main sectors on the index were in the red.

Mellanox (NASDAQ:MLNX), a stock that we've previously written up as a short recommendation, announced disappointing Q4 2012 results yesterday and gave catastrophic Q1 2013 revenue guidance. Though the stock initially dropped 22% after hours to $41, MLNX shares eventually rallied to $51 signifying a mere 1.4% decline for the day. Given three quarters of massive revenue declines ($157m in Q3 2012, $122m in Q4 2012, and ~$80m for Q1 2013) this is a stock that should be trading at a much lower level. With analysts having issued downgrades en masse and no longer supporting the stock with blind optimism, MLNX should reverse its intraday gains and fall to the $30s.
Valuation Remains Much Too High
Today at $51, shares of MLNX remain highly overvalued.
First, Mellanox clearly no longer deserves a premium valuation multiple. Business fundamentals have been suffering a steep decline over the past few quarters. The company's Q1 2013 revenue guidance of $77 - $83m is well below the $89m of revenue made in the first quarter of last year. The forecast represents a 34% decline from the fourth quarter, and missed analyst estimates of $130m by a stunning 40%. As we summarize later in this article, the company's 2012 growth was the product of the Intel Romley upgrade cycle, and with the cycle having now turned, investors are reminded that Mellanox is simply yet another cyclical semiconductor company. As a result, we assume a 15x earnings multiple, comparable to the multiples of a peer group of Emulex (NYSE:ELX), Brocade (NASDAQ:BRCD), and QLogic (NASDAQ:QLGC). These analogous interconnect businesses have modest growth expectations, as MLNX investors should come to expect, and somewhat commoditized product offerings, which high-speed InfiniBand will soon become.
We will discuss later in this article why even this 15x earnings multiple is highly optimistic, since there is a strong chance that MLNX's high-end InfiniBand business will be rendered extinct by Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) within the next five years.
Having determined an appropriate multiple, let's next examine Mellanox's 2013 figures. Management has not provided guidance beyond next quarter, and analysts have yet to digest the company's stunning 40% revenue miss and issue new estimates, so we'll make some basic assumptions. If we optimistically assume that Mellanox actually meets its quarterly guidance for the first time in over six months, then the company would earn an annualized $320m in revenue in Q1. Let's assume some growth in subsequent quarters and therefore 2013 revenue of $400m. At a 20% net income margin (Q4 2012 was only 15% on a GAAP basis and historical years prior to 2012 witnessed profit margins under 10%), the company would report earnings per share of about $1.70. At our 15x P/E multiple, generous in light of the potentially terminal nature of MLNX's business, we'd assign $26/share of value to the earnings stream. The company holds $9/share of net cash, but smallcap semiconductor companies have a poor history of returning cash to shareholders and MLNX has never paid a dividend or repurchased shares, so we only give credit to 25% of that cash.
Adding $2/share of net cash to $26/share of business value and rounding up gets us to a fair value of about $30/share, a 40% discount to the current price. Below is a table summarizing our calculations.
Yet even at $30, owning MLNX shares remains highly risky. That's because there's a good chance that Intel's next-generation CPU+Interconnect design will render MLNX extinct within 5 years. As such, we took the opportunity to materially increase our short position after yesterday's irrational intraday short covering rally. Below is an intraday graph of yesterday's price action:

The Stock has Lost the Support of the Sellside
After its surprisingly strong growth in the first half of 2012, analysts rushed to outdo one another with $140-$150 price targets and ebullient Buy recommendations. Since most analyst models simply projected quarterly revenue using straight-line growth assumptions, infectious optimism quickly enveloped this momentum stock. Even at its peak price near $120 on September 6, MLNX was awarded Buy ratings by the majority of the analyst community and price targets were dutifully increased as the stock ticked upwards. Below are Bloomberg analyst ratings from September 6.

Times have changed. After Wednesday's Q4 2012 earnings call, many analysts finally recognized their folly. What was once a sea of green 'Buys' is now overwhelmed by 'Holds', which is actually a code word for 'Sell' on Wall Street.
Source: Bloomberg Analyst Ratings, January 24, 2013.
The once flowery praise has been replaced with scorn:
"Further exacerbating the impact of weak guidance, management's tone and demeanor was off-putting and at times seemingly evasive as it "stonewalled" analyst attempts to garner additional color into specific details surrounding the weak guidance...we believe management has significant work ahead to restore investor confidence."
- Wunderlich Securities "Stunned, Stonewalled, and Sandbagged," January 24th, 2013
"We thought we'd seen everything, but apparently we hadn't...The guidance for the first quarter of 2013 is catastrophic - $78-83 million...the company has almost no control over demand or influence on OEM customers to buy from it...There is no question that rebuilding capital market confidence will be protracted and arduous." - DS Brokerage, January 24th, 2013
The white-shoe investment banks were more gentle about their disappointment, but the overall tone was negative nonetheless:
"We are lowering our TP to $40.00 from $55.00...we believe the market needs to see a path back to $150m/quarter run-rate before any meaningful appreciation in stock price - hence, we remain Neutral."
- Credit Suisse "Growth Hibernates for the Winter," January 24th, 2013
"Given the sell-off from the peak, negative sentiment, and our anecdotal sense that many investors appear to have moved to the sidelines, we expect the shares to settle in the $40s with support from the ~$10/share in cash."
- Barclays "Resetting the bar," January 24th, 2013
Once a company loses the confidence of the sellside, it usually becomes much more difficult to win back. Analysts won't want to risk their reputations on a stock that has already burned them once before.
Will Mellanox Be Around in Five Years?
During the September 11-13th Intel Developer Forum, Intel officially announced its intention to integrate its next-generation CPU with an interconnect device, theoretically cutting out the need for a third-party interconnect provider like Mellanox. Intel's intent was mentioned by multiple press sources and presentations from Intel's technical sessions on the topic are available online. By assembling interconnect technologies and engineering teams from Cray, QLogic, and Fulcrum, Intel should be well positioned to complete its task. But even if Intel doesn't meet its timeline goals, the chipmaker controls the CPU design, allowing it to build a design that only functions optimally with an Intel's interconnect. This integration could potentially provide power and performance synergies as well as cost savings for the end-users. It would also completely box Mellanox out of the high-end HPC (high-performance computing) market.
Source: Intel Developer Forum, Diane Bryant, September 11th, 2012
When asked about this threat from Intel in the third quarter conference call, the Mellanox CEO essentially had no viable solution, admitting that Mellanox would have no choice but to "find the right way to work with them or to compete with them." In other words, Mellanox has little influence on whether Intel will render the company's products obsolete.
The full discussion from the call is below:
<Dan Harverd, Deutsche Bank AG, Research Division>
And then just a final question, a longer-term question. We've seen Intel during the quarter for that roadmap for its plans and InfiniBand, and potentially interconnect control into CPU. Could I get any thoughts on that and how that would affect your business going forward?
<Eyal Waldman, MLNX Executive Chairman, CEO, and President>
Obviously, we are working with Intel in multiple dimensions. Intel will try to come out with something in the 2015, '16 time frame with their 100 Gigabit per second solution. It's yet to be seen how we work together if we work together at that time frame. And obviously, Mellanox, we continue to develop our own solutions for the 100 Gigabit per second, which we think will come out in 2014 time frame, so we still hope to continue leading this market and keep taking market share away from our competitors.
<Dan Harverd, Deutsche Bank AG, Research Division>
And if they were to come up with an integrated product, would that change -- how would you see that changing the fundamentals of the market?
<Eyal Waldman, MLNX Executive Chairman, CEO, and President>
Well, then we'll find the right way to work with them or to compete with them.
If Intel builds an interconnect solution into its next generation of high performance computing CPUs, there probably is no "right way" for Mellanox to work with them or compete with them.
Why Mellanox no Longer Deserves a Premium Multiple
Our initial report on September 10th, 2012 questioned the Street's overly simplistic growth assumptions and probed for more concrete answers to explain the company's rapid good fortune. Based on our research, Mellanox's growth was attributed to high-performance computing customers who were paying up for the premium priced 56GB/s FDR InfiniBand in order to fully utilize newly installed Intel "Romley" CPUs. We felt that this Romley uptake cycle would soon wane and predicted that the straight-line revenue assumptions for Q4 2012 and early 2013 were flawed.
After the third quarter earnings call, MLNX's CEO mentioned "a revenue baseline of $150 million," a figure that was quickly latched onto by analysts hoping to construct their two-year models. On the same call, the CEO also warned, "you know again, we don't give guidance or visibility more than one quarter" yet appeared to acquiesce when analysts inferred that $600m would become the annual revenue baseline and the de facto worst case scenario for the Street's models. Investors continued to trust the company even after the management gave underwhelming Q4 guidance on their October 17th third quarter call. Q4 revenues were projected at only $145m - $150m, implying a sequential decline in revenue of 6% that was well below growth expectations. Those who followed the story closely noticed a second chink in the armor when the newly installed CFO revealed MLNX's complete lack of end-market visibility at a November 14th UBS conference, stating, "we said that $150 million is a baseline. That's purely based on our gut feeling [Emphasis added]."
After that comment, we were stunned that the analyst community continued to take guidance from management at face value. In contrast to the analyst expectations of September 2012, when $150m of run-rate quarterly revenue was considered the floor and consistent sequential growth was the expectation, it's clear that MLNX's ephemeral revenue boost was the result of the Romley uptake cycle and not a sustainable trend.
Source: Capital IQ, MLNX earnings calls and filings (10K, Q4 2012 8K).
Our chart from the September 2012 report shows that the revenue shortfall has essentially matched the predicted demand from the Intel server ramp cycle.
Source: Jefferies Research note on IPHI, February 1st, 2012.
Given this relatively straightforward explanation for the recent revenue shortfall, we believe that the guidance for Q1 2013 is more indicative of what revenue will look like throughout this year. This should be exacerbated by the increased uptake of 40GB/s Ethernet, which has a much lower price point than 56GB/s InfiniBand.
Broadcom (BRCM), a leader in 40GB/s Ethernet, explained this during a Deutsche Bank conference in September:
"And [the HPC] market, as you know, there's a natural transition happening in speeds, going to 56GB InfiniBand as the Romley cycle comes on...And that's been [MLNX's] traditional market. There's been some adoption of InfiniBand in other markets, right. Also, they talked about a large cloud customer, and they also talked about some increasing need for storage cluster for the back end. And if you look at those markets, for the most part it's a pricing game and a density game between Ethernet and InfiniBand, right? So today, we have 56GB InfiniBand in the market...And now with Trident II -- by the way, 40GB Ethernet is going to start shipping and going after exactly the same market that they're in right now. Now the end customers have a choice, right. They can go buy…from Mellanox, or they can go buy 40GB Ethernet switches that do essentially the same thing from 10 different providers, with an open ecosystem and standards-based interoperability that they don't have to worry about. So to me...[Ethernet providers are] going to be in a good position to go back out there and make sure that all the business that's on Ethernet remains on Ethernet versus going to InfiniBand."
We think that this rapid influx of 40GB/s Ethernet into the much more cost-conscious Web 2.0, cloud, and storage markets will prevent MLNX from growing meaningful beyond their HPC customer base.
Ultimately, Mellanox is a company with dramatically declining 2013 revenue and profitability, a management team that has lost credibility with the sellside, and a core product line that may be rendered obsolete by Intel. It does not deserve a 6x forward revenue multiple or 30x P/E multiple. Having lost its growth/momentum investor base due to large earnings misses and rapidly declining investor sentiment, the current inflated stock price is mostly the product of yesterday's short covering rally. Such rallies are often fleeting, and MLNX shares could soon resume their steady descent.

I started goose hunting a few years ago in farmers fields in layout blinds. From their I started hunting puddlers in smaller waters and streams. Last year I started hunting Oneida lake in NY for divers and I would love some advice from you guys about blind etiquette. Oneida lake is medium sized with quite a few hunters. There is ample access all along the lake and plenty of places to set a blind. I have been hunting a shore line that is public/state property and I am wondering about how I should go about hunting out of a blind that I have come across. I launched my boat and headed to a point where I found someone had made a blind on the shore out of a piece of fencing a plank. I have a few questions to post to you guys about hunting here. Is it wrong to hunt here if no one else has shown up? Does someone have a monopoly on this point because they got to there first and staked claim to it?
My next question is about blinds that guys have set up on the water. Do they have the expectation that no one else will hunt there because they set up a blind? It is state land that everyone has access to. I would love to talk with everyone about this.

Being global pop icons can be a tiring business.
And touring the world has obviously taken its toll on pop princes One Direction, as the band are said to be "desperate" to take time off after their on-going 118-date world tour.
According to sources, the band – made up of Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan – want to take four months off from their demanding schedule, but record label bosses are keen for the boys to keep working.
As well as their current tour, which runs until early November, the band have been busy making their 3D film This Is Us, due for release in August. Rumour has it bosses are also keen for them to start working on their third album.
"The boys are working incredibly hard and are in desperate need of some time off," the source told the Daily Star.
"They want to take a full four months off at the end of the year, but management are keen for them to release another album while they are such hot property. In an ideal world the record label would have another album out in time for Christmas, but that won't be possible."
Apparently the boys, who have become one of the biggest acts in the world over the last two years, are eager to start writing their own material, but bosses don't want them to slow down after the release of their 2012 album Take Me Home.
"The boys want to take time out," the source added. "But management know the group can't take too much time off to make the next record because teenage fans are so fickle."
One Direction finish the English leg of their world tour this week with concerts in Nottingham, Birmingham and Manchester, before jetting off to Paris.

It is the first time the annual Santathon has been held at the venue and the charity hopes it will mean more people than ever before will put on a red Santa suit and help to raise money for the cause.
Lauren Billington, fund-raising director at Leukaemia CARE, said: "We are really pleased to be working with Worcester Warriors and we think we can make an even better event this year. In previous years we've had 500 people but we're hoping for maybe 750 to 1,000 entrants this time.
"It's really important that we get people to get sponsorship, which will be used to support people with blood cancer. Anyone can do it. It is a fun run so entrants can run, walk, stroll or even crawl, if they want to.
With the added draw of a buffet lunch, live music and stalls for people to buy a few special gifts for Christmas the charity could very well achieve such a high number.
Kathy Leather, Commercial Director at Sixways, said: "I cannot wait to see 1,000 Santas of all shapes and sizes here at Sixways. I'm sure there will be some players and their wives joining in and getting behind this event."
The event is being held to raise money for the charity, which provides support and a 24-hour, 365-day-a-year helpline for those suffering from blood cancer.
To enter the run and get a Santa suit costs £10 for adults and £5 for children. The buffet, run and suit costs £20 for adults and £10 for children. The buffet on its own is £10 for adults and £5 for children. However, these entry fees are to cover costs, not to raise money.
To register, people can contact Leukaemia CARE's fund-raising team on 0845 5213456, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or visit raise4leukaemia.org.uk

Samoa Skips Friday! I Wish I Could!
Just this once, Samoa is making Dec. 30 disappear.
It's the key step in the Pacific island nation's plan to move from the eastern to the western side of the International Date Line and mesh its work week with two of its primary trading partners, New Zealand and Australia. The New Zealand territory of Tokelau is making the switch as well.
"In doing business with New Zealand and Australia, we're losing out on two working days a week," Stuff.co.nz quoted Samoan Prime Minister Tuila'epa Sailele as saying. "While it's Friday here, it's Saturday in New Zealand, and when we're at church Sunday, they're already conducting business in Sydney and Brisbane."
Samoa will go directly from 11:59 p.m. Thursday, through midnight to 12:01 a.m. Saturday.
"It hasn't been controversial," the editor of the Samoa Observer, Mata'afa Lesa, told me today. (Yes, definitely still today.) "People are realizing when they sleep tomorrow night, they'll wake up on Saturday."
Hotel guests won't have to pay for an extra night, but employers will be required to pay workers for Friday. "For the business community, it's very difficult," Lesa said, "They'll be paying for a day that doesn't exist."
As for folks born on Dec. 30 … well, this year they're in the same boat as Feb. 29 birthday babies.
No comment yet from Troy Polamalu, or his hair on this decision!

Tech tips: Wait for the iPhone 5
Question: My old cellphone is dying. I really want an iPhone. Should I wait for the iPhone 5 or get an iPhone 4? Is the iPhone 5 coming out soon?
Answer: You're not alone. Many people are waiting anxiously for the iPhone 5. Rumor suggests that the next iPhone will be faster, sport a better camera and have a bigger screen. It is expected to launch in October. Now, even if you decide not to get the iPhone 5, the short wait is worth it. The price of the iPhone 4 will drop when the iPhone 5 hits the street.
Q: I'm taking a road trip soon across the country. I want to use cellular broadband on my laptop for Internet access. Which cellular provider has the best coverage?
A: To cover the United States, providers have put up countless cell towers. Providers tend to place cell towers around heavily populated areas and main roads. Areas with little or no population may not have any service. If coverage is most important, plan your trip route first. Then, compare the route you selected against published cellular coverage maps. Be sure to check both voice and data versions of the maps. Data coverage may be much different than voice coverage.
Q: I just finished writing an important document on my Mac. I saved it, but now I can't find it! Please help me get it back.
A: You don't have to panic. It's likely you just saved the file to the wrong folder. Fortunately, OS X has a powerful search feature. Start by going to Spotlight. This is in the upper-right corner of your screen. Click the magnifying glass to open the search bar. Start typing the name of the file. I hope you remember what you called it. A list of possible matches will appear automatically. The file should be on that list; just click to open it. If you don't remember the file name, don't despair. Go to File>>Find for a more comprehensive search method. Search for document files created in the last day or so. Your file should turn up quickly.
Q: I'm always getting lost while driving. So I'm thinking of getting a GPS unit. What model do you recommend?
A: GPS is a blessing for the navigationally challenged. It used to require a dedicated unit, but no longer. My GPS unit, for example, is my iPhone. Almost any smartphone can be used for navigation with the right high-quality app. These apps can provide turn-by-turn directions, text-to-speech, points-of-interest and much more. A smartphone costs about the same as a standalone GPS unit. Plus, smartphones offer much more versatility.
Q: I've heard you say on that Internet Explorer isn't a secure browser. What alternatives are there?
A: Internet Explorer has had its share of security problems in the past. The latest version, IE 9, however, is much better than previous versions. You can use it safely. Just be sure to regularly install Windows updates. The most secure alternative to IE is Google Chrome. It regularly stumps hackers in hacking competitions. Plus, it is one of the fastest browsers around. Mozilla's Firefox is another good browser. Its security is strong and being improved steadily. Historically, Mozilla patches any serious security flaws quickly.

timbl's blog
Thank you for all the comments
Oops! Thanks for all the wonderful welcoming comments. We've had rather a lot, and had to turn the comments off on the first blog. I can't answer them all, but I would point out one thing. I just played my part. I built on the work of others -- the Internet, invented 20 years before the web, by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn and colleagues, for example, and hypertext, a word coined by Ted Nelson for an idea of links which was already implemented in many non-networked systems. I just put these technologies together. And then, it all took off because of this amazing community of enthusiasts, who have done such incredible things with the technology, and are still advancing it in so many ways.
By the way, this blog is at DIG, the Decentralised Information group at MIT's CSAIL. I intend it to be geeky semantic web stuff mostly. For example, it won't be for W3C questions which should really be addressed to working groups.
So thanks for all the support, no need for more general 'thank you' comments! Thank *you* all.
So I have a blog
In 1989 one of the main objectives of the WWW was to be a space for sharing information. It seemed evident that it should be a space in which anyone could be creative, to which anyone could contribute. The first browser was actually a browser/editor, which allowed one to edit any page, and save it back to the web if one had access rights.
Strangely enough, the web took off very much as a publishing medium, in which people edited offline. Bizarely, they were prepared to edit the funny angle brackets of HTML source, and didn't demand a what you see is what you get editor. WWW was soon full of lots of interesting stuff, but not a space for communal design, for discource through communal authorship.
Now in 2005, we have blogs and wikis, and the fact that they are so popular makes me feel I wasn't crazy to think people needed a creative space. In the mean time, I have had the luxury of having a web site which I have write access, and I've used tools like Amaya and Nvu which allow direct editing of web pages. With these, I haven't felt the urge to blog with blogging tools. Effectively my blog has been the Design Issues series of technical articles.
That said, it is nice to have a machine to the administrative work of handling the navigation bars and comment buttons and so on, and it is nice to edit in a mode in which you can to limited damage to the site. So I am going to try this blog thing using blog tools. So this is for all the people who have been saying I ought to have a blog.

Today is our last day in Wisconsin. We leave tomorrow morning for Michigan. Our immediate challenge is what route to take. Do we take I-94 which is the shortest and fastest route or try US route 31, 32 or 41? The problem with I-94 is that it is an interstate which is never our first choice because everyone is speeding and there are always too many semi-trucks. Add to that this interstate turns into a toll road as soon as you cross into Illinois! We found this out last Thursday when we went to Evanston, IL to see a lighthouse.

The introductions went well and we hope that our friends and relatives in Kenosha continue to socialize in the community. Linda and I had time to ride bicycles and tour the three museums in Kenosha: 1) Civil War Museum 2) Kenosha History Museum (highlighting American Motors and Snap-On Tools) 3) Kenosha Natural History (with a realistic scene of butchering a Giant Mammoth That left us time to rest...Jump to full entry

August 10, 2011 Our hosts took their granddaughter and friend to the Historic Wisconsin, a heritage center. Linda and I took time to catch up on email, then odd jobs on the RV. We rode bicycles near the lakeshore. Our plan was to go back to home base and rest before going to visit Linda's cousin's family. Near the end of the bike ride, Linda's cousin and children were walking on the same path. We were immediately invited over for ice tea and to meet the kids.

We settled on a Cinnamon Kringle which is large enough to last a week. We went to a shady picnic table at the Petrified Springs County Park for coffee and Kringle. There were two geocaches at the artesian well. We stopped at the Farm Market for corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. Then off to Lowes for domestic items, then to Tenuta's which is everything Italian.

Today we went to Johnson & Johnson for their factory tour. Of course they only do them on Fri. & Sat. If I have learned one thing on this trip is to call ahead before going there.

Low rider: BMW's sleek Gran Coupe concept is lower than the company's 5-Series and 7-Series.
26 April 2010
By TERRY MARTIN
WITH Ferrari, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and most other prestige car manufacturers showing their Beijing wares ahead of last Friday's opening, BMW stole the show with the stunning production-oriented Gran Coupe concept.
Revealed late on Friday at the German manufacturer's 'Design Night' event, the Gran Coupe sends BMW into the realm of full-sized four-door fastbacks and, if given the green light, will take on the likes of the Porsche Panamera, Mercedes CLS, Audi A7, Aston Martin Rapide and Maserati Quattroporte.
Proclaimed as a new 8 Series flagship, the GC has emerged out of the GFC some 15 months after BMW officially dropped its plan to put its previous Concept CS into production as a new brand-defining four-door supercar.
After making its debut at the 2007 Shanghai motor show, the striking five-metre-long, 7 Series-based CS was billed as a successor to BMW's discontinued 8 Series coupe and in September that year was confirmed for production.
However, BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer shelved the program in October 2008, arguing that such a model would not be profitable in the depressed economic climate, was no longer required as a halo model for the brand and would divert the company's focus from its environmental model plans, including its Megacity compact electric car.
Now, the Gran Coupe's emergence at Auto China 2010, just hours after BMW put a date (2013) on the Megacity and took the wraps off long-wheelbase and electric versions of its latest 5 Series, shows that the 8 Series is back on the front-burner.
Production is still to be confirmed, but BMW said the coupe was "an in-depth insight into its design philosophy and development strategy". It also said the vehicle demonstrated "the aspiration of the brand BMW to build four-door high-performance coupes with the sportiest proportions and the most elegant design".
According to BMW, the concept's design has fundamental elements of all its coupes: a long wheelbase, vaulted bonnet with forward-pointing lines, setback greenhouse, flat silhouette, coupe-style roofline and a short front overhang.
It also carries a new interpretation of the kidney grille, has frameless doors and a "strikingly formed" Hofmeister kink.
Few specifications are provided for the Gran Coupe, other than confirmation that its overall length is around five metres and its height is just below 1.4 metres. The company makes the point that this low height makes the four-door up to 100mm flatter than the current 5 Series or 7 Series sedans. It is wider than both these models, too.
BMW chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk told Autocar: "It's true that the Gran Coupe points to a specific model, a saloon with the presence and elegance of a 7 Series but a more dynamic, sporty character: much more of a driver's car.
"We're convinced that we should make a car like this.
"We all liked the idea of a more dynamic flagship four-door back then (2007) but we put the car (CS) on ice while working on 'Project i' (Megacity), which has been a bigger priority.
"Now we've had the opportunity to revisit the CS and update it, and I think everyone inside of BMW is pleased with the results."
Autocar also cites sources as confirming that a production version will arrive in 2012, based on the same platform that underpins the current 5 Series, 7 Series and 5 GT.
As such, the flagship coupe will offer the same combination of six-cylinder and eight-cylinder engines as its stablemates, and the latest eight-speed automatic transmission.

I hope all my U.S. readers had a great Thanksgiving and that you all had a safe weekend. This year Thanksgiving was just Pat and myself; we'll see our sons in Saratoga at Christmas time. So it was just the two of us and a 23½ lb. turkey (have I ever mentioned that I LOVE turkey?)
We had roast turkey on Thursday, I made a lifetime supply of turkey soup on Friday, leftover turkey panini's on Saturday, and yesterday I made homemade pizza. Ah… long weekends. Beautiful. We had a good time, although it was obvious that Mom was missing her boys. Well… Christmas is only a few weeks away at this point.
On to some interesting posts and articles I stumbled upon this past week:
Lifehacker posted about the free software they're most thankful for – it's quite a list!
Wise Bread featured a post this week on the 12 affordable ingredients that add a gourmet touch to any meal.
Michael Sliwinski of Nozbe launched "Productive!" Magazine this week; the cover story is an interview with David Allen, and the issue features a number of useful articles; it can be downloaded Free (registration required) – click here.
A few days ago Kelly from Massage Therapy Careers sent me a link for an article published on the site on Thanksgiving – 101 ways to improve your longevity and quality of life. I'm working on a similar post at present (albeit a bit shorter!) but thought I'd share this post with my readers anyway. Thanks, Kelly!
Finally, I came across a site called This One Next – type in the name of the most recent book, CD, or DVD you've read/listened to/watched, and the site will come up with several recommendations for you. Check it out by clicking here.
Thanks for visiting and have a great week!

New England Summers
July 30, 2014, Washington, DC: Happy summer, neighborhood nomads! What better way to celebrate the season than by visiting family and friends in New England, an area of the country we called home for many years and have revisited ever since. This month, we followed the scents of salty air and charcoal grills up the East Coast during our ten-day vacation, stopping to play in its parks and waterways along the way. On the itinerary was a wedding in Portland, Maine, brunch in Central Park's Sheep Meadow, and a paddle with my dear sister out of Connecticut's Southport Harbor. All around not a bad way to embrace the heat of July.
Home: Where The Structural Is Personal
November 4, 2012, Washington, DC: A storm like Hurricane Sandy pushes to the forefront many of the topics discussed regularly here on Neighborhood Nomads. In alignment with the tagline at the top of this site, storm stories are stories of our homes, our neighborhoods, and the power — and vulnerabilities — of the physical places we inhabit. The devastation left behind has us focused on our communities, our neighbors, our infrastructure, our cities and our towns. It's clear at times like this that our connections to the places we call home are both physical and emotional. The structural is personal.
Miles from Monday: Hunkering Down
October 29, 2012, Washington, DC: Suffice it to say this is no typical Monday. Already laundry is in the dryer and chili is on the stove. Crossword complete. Floors vacuumed. Leftovers gone. Nearly nap time. Hurricane Sandy is approaching my East Coast hometowns, and she's making a longwinded entrance. Southport is evacuated. Wall Street and the subway are closed. The federal government and DC schools sit empty. Our cities are rainy and windy, but mostly they are very grey.
I sit down and begin J.K. Rowling's latest book, The Casual Vacancy. Chapter 1 starts like this: 'Monday. Brace yourself.'
Now is the time to hunker down. Sandy has miles to go before our hometowns get back to business.
Miles from Monday is a weekly series focused on venturing out of the spaces we inhabit during our work week and retreating to landscapes that feel far from routine.

Miles From Monday: The Day We Kayaked to Lunch
Miles from Monday is a weekly travel series focused on venturing out of the spaces we inhabit during our work week and retreating to landscapes that feel far from routine.
September 17, 2012, Washington, DC: The three King brothers opened King's Kitchen in June on Connecticut's Southport Beach. It's a tiny shack with fish tacos and lobster rolls on the menu, Chuck Berry and Johnny Cash on the playlist, and Adirondack chairs and picnic tables on the sand. It's a spot where books are strewn about tabletops inviting customers to stick around. Not that we needed an excuse to linger last week during my first visit to King's Kitchen. On a day like Tuesday with a sharp view clear across the water to Long Island, it was easy to let time slip away.

Before I Go on Staycation…
June 21, 2012, Washington, DC: I'm planning to take a little staycation. I'm not going anywhere and I'll most certainly be back — just taking a brief hiatus from regular blog posts to reflect on this year's project and collect my thoughts concerning what happens next. New ideas are keeping me up at night and I couldn't be more excited. I look forward to sharing them with you soon.
Before I go, I invite you to participate here on Neighborhood Nomad. Your stories about why you love where you live are intriguing and inspiring. They reinforce the power of place and they remind us of the extent to which our geography shapes us. Collecting and producing reader interviews has been one of the best parts of this effort so far, and every single one of you has distinctive stories to tell about the rhythms of your home, your neighborhood, your town or your city. Shoot me a note. Tell me more about your hometown.
More to come! As always, I'll keep you posted.
Miles From One Year Ago…
"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had the familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."
-F. Scott Fitzgerald
June 19, 2012, Washington, DC: In June 2011, I embarked on a year-long project that would bring me back to each of my hometowns to learn more about the places I'd lived. There were many that had shaped me — from Montreal and Toronto to San Francisco and New York — and I wanted to get a good feel for their geography, their people, their neighborhoods and their pulses. I also wanted to examine, broadly speaking, why people live where they do and what makes a place feel like home. With ample vacation days, multiple frequent flyer tickets, many tanks of gas, several bicycles, and a few good pairs of walking shoes, I covered extensive ground in twelve months. The project, Neighborhood Nomad, is documented on this blog, derived from a love of travel and a longstanding obsession with the power of place.
The study came full circle this weekend, ending up where it started on a Virginia vineyard. And so with the advent of summer comes an opportunity to revisit the year I spent traveling back to my former neighborhoods. I've come miles from one year ago, and I've logged all of them in hopes of better understanding the places we called home.
Read on for a chronological overview of this year's travels back home…

Euc - it'd seem you have already said about all there is to say! After which - he needs to digest the info and come to his own conclusions.
However - I do think I might, if buying a first gun - be more than tempted to consider my carry piece first - if only because a long arm is not of course a carry weapon - well, not concealed!
many will say and know - the handgun is there to hopefully let you get to your rifle but - more times than not, issues have to be settled with handgun only.
True - re value etc - well possible get something very adequate for reasonable bucks - SKS probably comes to mind for most.
I would hope that once he has aquired a suitable handgun he will then give more thought to a long arm - right now probably his sole goal is the handgun... to exclusion of all else!

I think you really need to study the teachings a bit more before making such confidence pronouncements.
All these grades of practitioners are described in detail by the Buddha in such tantras as the Self-Arisen Vidya Tantra and so on, where the whole process is very precisely described, how many days they remain in the bardo of dharmatā, how many emanations they will have after achieving liberation in the bardo and so on.
I think you really need to develop the ability to think critically and for yourself instead of blindly believing in books or gurus!
I feel like discussing with a christian fundamentalist: "The bible says XY, therefore it is so!"

USA Pro Challenge Brings in Nearly $100 Million
By newsroom On October 19, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In Colorado, Cycling, Economy, Eliza Densmore, KRCC News, Sports, Student Reporter, Text, Tourism
The USA Pro Challenge cycling race brought nearly 100 million dollars in to the state. KRCC's Eliza Densmore reports.
Race organizers released the results of a study yesterday, which was done by global sports research firm IFM North America. The company found direct spending by traveling spectators on amenities such as lodging, food, and entertainment was a large portion of the revenue.
People came from 25 different states to watch the race, including Colorado. 75.8 percent of them say they're likely to return to watch next year, and 53 percent said they traveled to Colorado specifically for the race. Over one million people watched the race in person.

Positive Feedback
Two from Heads Up
This pair of releases on the Heads Up label is unique because of the significant similarities shared by them.
I would really like to label or categorize each of these recordings, but I am having difficulty. Any of you readers are invited to share either your knowledge or calculated guesswork with me IF you have listened to both of these specific discs at the same listening session. Contact me: email@example.com.
Spyro Gyra, Wrapped In A Dream Heads Up HUCD 3107 & HUSA 9107 (hybrid multichannel SACD+CD)
Spyro Gyra's first album was released 30 years ago. Unique at that time their first album seemed to be a blend of fusion, pop, R&B and jazz. Their early recordings were very successful commercially and embraced rhythms from all around the world. In the past 30 years they have sold almost 11 million recordings. They also have received nine Grammy nominations in that same period of time. Jay Beckenstein has been their leader, saxophonist and producer for all these years. They were very successful and had a very good fan base. From those beginnings they did great for quite awhile building on that musical foundation as well as their fan base. Most critics believed that Spyro Gyra
continued to mature and progressively evolve during the eighties. Some thought that eventually they started to attempt to please everyone instead of simply getting better after the first few years. As so often happens, their successful and rapid rise to fame created a great deal of controversy. Critics started complaining that they had not continued their progressive beginnings long enough lent a bit of truth to those complaints. Leader Jay Beckenstein is quoted as saying," after twenty four albums, it's not always easy to develop new material"
As has been true for many years, the nucleus of the group is Beckenstein with various saxophones plus four compositions here, keyboardist Tom Schuman also adding four compositions and Julio Fernandez with guitar and two new tunes. These three are on all the cuts here and bassist Scott Ambush and Josh Dion are also heard on most of them. Some tracks add from one to three other players; they are typically heard playing drums, marimba, percussion or trumpet. I particularly enjoyed hearing Jay's rich sounding tenor saxophone on tracks such as Midnight Thunder, Tuesday and Voodooyoodoo. This time around it is easy to declare that there is a great deal of variety to be heard here. Repeated listening revealed the prominence of Jay's various saxophones (soprano, alto and tenor). Typically there is an accompanying strong repetitious beat from either the drummer or bass player varying with selections. The quieter or subtler compositions seemed the most appealing to me, obviously a personal call. Some may feel that the other tracks do not seem to be as unique or progressively challenging as they might have seemed thirty years ago. Whatever I call it does not matter -- jazz-fusion, cool, contemporary or almost "easy listening" it is simply there to enjoy. A little more than a year ago I was attending a concert featuring the three generations of the Pizzarelli family. I was seated next to a professional musician and during intermission I asked him about the piece played just before intermission. I asked, "was it Afro, Caribbean or Jamaican jazz"? He replied, "we don't ask what it is, we just play it!" Here everything is played outstandingly well—as would be expected of this veteran group. Sound quality is fittingly excellent also, being particularly full and full range sounding with natural unforced detail. The SACD disc is subtly but noticeably superior to the fine regular CD disc in most respects, even when played on my two channel system. The combination of a larger group and a slightly closer or better perspective plus more pickup of the recording venue's acoustics, aided by the finer detail of being SACD, is seemingly much of the apparent difference between this and the recording by the group, Pieces of a Dream. Seemingly recorded at a slightly higher level than the PIECES OF A DREAM album, much of that difference disappears when the "PIECES" recording is played with a slightly higher gain or volume level setting! Spyro Gyra fans expect a top recommendation for this new release and I feel comfortable doing just that.
Pieces of a Dream, Pillow Talk Heads Up HUCD 3105
Pieces of a Dream actually had its start thirty years ago, almost like Spyro Gyra except at an earlier age, for James Lloyd keyboardist and Curtis Harmon drummer starting to make music together. As is fairly well known, their name was taken from a Stanley Turrentine album's title from a couple of years previously. Cedric Napoleon soon joined them. The group was "discovered" by jazz great, the late Grover Washington Jr.. James Lloyd was just a high school senior when their first recording was released! They have enjoyed many hits and fame since then. Napoleon left them years later. They often record with other artists, usually guitarists, vocalists and saxophonists.
On this just released album, they manage a great deal interesting of variety. Performers range from just the pair of them, to adding a soloist, to adding three vocalists, guitarist and saxophonist on some tracks! Surprisingly it all comes off as parts of a single coherent whole. That is a well known part of their reputation, not static, but changing while being consistently true to their long term beliefs and goals.
Tracks 2,3 and 4 demonstrate differences with Spyro's album as above. Horn playing is richly smooth and not as prominent. The added vocalist is clearly singing lyrics and overall there is a relaxed feeling, not at all driving or insistent.The following track is simply sublimely beautiful with ensemble playing as if it were one person and all topped off with subtle added percussion. The next track is very upbeat but not rushed or driving, simply a change of pace. On this track, Lloyd's contribution is particularly noteworthy and once again Curtis Harmon and Todd Parsnow add to the overall richness and bass range sensation. On Your Love, Ramona Dunlap is featured again with her full and rich singing. As with the other tracks, the listening perspective is a touch on the relaxing side while revealing all the natural detail without artificial highlighting. The outstandingly realistic sound quality, heard as if a few tables back in a night club, fits Pieces of a Dream to a 'T' though I could almost guarantee even slightly better sound quality if a SACD version is ever released. Listeners need to remember that even in the audio world, supply often expands to meet demand! Very highly recommended in every respect.
