David Chesworth Ensemble - Recital Centre - 19 Sept 2009
Just letting you know about a concert of all new work by David Chesworth Ensemble. You may
not have seen us around for a while but we've certainly been busy in the last couple of years including performances in the UK, Paris, Sydney and Brisbane. Plus all the players have been busy on projects that have taken them far and wide.
We've grown in size too, becoming an eleven piece ensemble.
David Chesworth – electronics, Andrea Keeble – violin, Michelle John – cello,
Jeremy Alsop – bass, John McAll – piano, Simon Myers – trombone,
Peter Neville – percussion, Eugene Ughetti – percussion
and welcoming Robert Goodge – guitars, Joanne Kuluveovski - vocals,
and Melissa Webb - vocals, taisho koto, khaen
This year we've been working on a new full-length work Vanishing Tekopia which is scored for voice and a large ensemble of instruments and electronics (including the taishogoto, a Japanese harp). The unique sonorous textures of the ensemble, richer still with the added instrumental colours, create driving themes and polyrhythms in seductive settings of Ursonate-like word songs.
The Salon at Melbourne Recital Centre has limited seating so get in early if you'd like to catch us.

- NOMEX(UK/NZ) - Nomex is the pseudonym of Paul Kidd, under which he has been performing and releasing audio and video works for many years. Nomex has performed in many diverse locations around the world, from the ICA in London to the squatted galleries of East Berlin, from huge outdoor festivals in France to the trash bars of Milwaukee, from the Red Factory in Switzerland to the Link in Bologna, from the Parisian catacombs to the established art spaces of Holland. His uncompromising approach to 'concrete sound' has brought him to be on the same bill as Pan Sonic / Sudden Infant / Mego / Bruce Gilbert / Disinformation etc. He even was mentioned in the Rough Guide to Drum and Bass as an influence on the developing Breakcore scene through his bizarre turntablism and various self built drill turntables. Paul/Nomex is currently residing in New Zealand.
- ANTHEA CADDY / THEMBI SODDELL - Bringing together the textural and dynamic capabilities of the cello, with an extensive palate of sampled and abstracted found sounds, this collaboration between Australian sound artists Anthea Caddy and Thembi Soddell generates a provocative and tense sonic world. They will be touring Europe again very soon so this will be their last duo performance in Melbourne for 2009.

Hitler's favorite car makes comeback in Germany
By Dave Graham
BERLIN (Reuters Life!) - A car expert says he has tracked down Hitler's favorite Mercedes to a garage near the town that helped the Austrian-born Fuehrer become a German citizen.
Classic cars specialist Michael Froehlich said he found the bullet-proof touring car after charting its postwar travels from Austria to Las Vegas and back to Munich, where Hitler burst onto the political scene with a failed putsch in 1923.
"It was the best car in the world at the time. Better than the Bugatti, Bentley, Rolls Royce or whatever," Froehlich told Reuters from his office in Duesseldorf. "It was his favorite car: the one he used most often, which he used for parades."
After being commissioned by a Cypriot buyer to find the vehicle, Froehlich discovered it had been bought by a farmer near Braunschweig, where in 1932 local Nazi officials got Hitler a civil servant's job so he could claim citizenship.
"I thought it was an interesting job, but on the other hand I wasn't too thrilled, because my parents and grandparents suffered greatly under his regime," Froehlich said of the commission.
The dark blue car, which Froehlich said had spent decades in the basement of the Imperial Palace Casino in Las Vegas, was recently sold by the heirs of a Munich brewing tycoon before he traced it "in under two months" to northern Germany.
Froehlich said reports the buyer was Russian were mistaken, and rejected the notion that past owners of the vehicle with the number plate "1A 148 461" were admirers of the dictator.
"They weren't Nazis from what I can see, I think it's something they saw as a business investment," he said. "I can well imagine that an old Hitler banger has a certain value." Continued...

Responsive Architecture Interacts With The Environment
Bloom is a sun-tracking instrument made out of a smart thermobimetal, which curls when heated to create various shapes based on weather conditions.
A project by DOSU Studio Architecture, "Bloom" is a sun-tracking instrument that indexes time and temperature. It is made from a smart thermobimetal that responds to the sun, curling when it is heated to shade and ventilate areas of the shell. The environmentally responsive surface is made up of around 14,000 lasercut pieces and is designed for peak performance on the spring equinox.
The panels combine a double-ruled surface of bimetal tiles with an interlocking, folded aluminum frame system. Like the undulation of the surface, the frame, by nature of its folds, is designed to appear on the inner or outer surface at the same cadence of the peaks and valleys. The final monocoque form, lightweight and flexible, is dependent on the overall geometry and combination of materials to provide comprehensive stability.
The twisted panel shapes aid in the performance of the surface, as portions of a panel's surface directly face the sun, while other areas are in the shade and require no reaction or curling. This results in a dramatic variation in tile shapes and function within each panel. DOSU Studio Architecture are further developing this project, combining responsive thermobimetal with glass to create a passive shading system. You can watch how the surface of "Bloom" changes throughout the day in the video below:

Took the car in for rattling headliner...
So I took my car yesterday in for this problem, where the headliner "glue" seemed to be coming loose and was rattling/vibrating at basically any speed from > 5 mph. I thought they would just remove it and reglue it and call it a day.
Dealer called me today and told me that there's a service notice out that affects my car in which the front springs cause the entire car to vibrate. They told me the part had been ordered and it would be done by tomorrow.
My gut feeling is the springs have nothing to do with it since the vehicle is not actually vibrating. It's just the headliner. I tried to express this to the guy but they are going to replace the front springs either way.
Either way I'll pick up the car tomorrow night and we will see about the headliner. If it's rattling I am not taking my car back, they will have to remove it and reglue it, just as I originally suspected.
I tried to search for this service bulletin but found nothing.

Calculation of the surface after intersection of two spheres
I have two spheres of radius 0.6 whose origins are separated a
distance of 1. So the spheres overlap and I want to calculate the
total surface now.
For that purpose I started to calculate the surface of the separated
spheres, which is trivial and I can do by hand, but after they
intersect or overlap, how can I tell the program to calculate the
surface ?
Thanks in advance

Sodium in your Drinking WaterSalts and minerals naturally occur in nature and are leached into groundwater, or to waterways as water flows over rocks and substrate. The most common form of salt is sodium chloride (NaCl), better known as table salt, which usually occurs in a crystalline form. When sodium chloride is dissolved, the sodium ions and chloride ions are split and form independent complexes with water molecules. Consequently, both sodium and chloride are common, and may present problems as drinking water contaminants if they occur in high concentrations.
Sources of Sodium and ChlorideSodium and chloride may enter the water stream by natural processes as mentioned above, or in areas situated close to the sea, these salts may be reach waterways by wind-blown sea spray. Sodium and chloride salts may also be introduced through human activities such as use of road salt to de-ice roads, storage and spills of road salt, discharges from water softeners, human and animal waste disposal, and leaching from landfill sites. Sodium is often an essential ingredient in many water treatment chemicals, thus trace levels of sodium can remain as drinking water contaminants.
Water softeners (ion exchangers) replace hard ions such as magnesium and calcium with a soft ion such as sodium or potassium. The sodium from the water softener may increase sodium levels in the drinking water it is treating, and the waste (containing dissolved salts) also adds to sodium levels in the waterbody that it is discharged into.
Health Effects of Salts in Drinking WaterNeither sodium or chloride salts are currently considered to pose any major health risk to humans as drinking water contaminants. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) includes chloride on its list of secondary drinking water contaminants, meaning that it poses no direct health risk, but does cause secondary aesthetic problems to drinking water. The EPA recommends a maximum acceptable level of 250mg/L for chloride. Concentrations exceeding this may give water an unpleasant salty taste.
Sodium is neither listed as a primary or secondary drinking water contaminant, as levels are generally not considered to be high enough to warrant any threat to human health. However, while sodium is generally considered harmless to humans at low doses, sodium intake is associated with hypertension, and it may thus pose a health risk to individuals suffering from heart disease. Consequently, sodium is included on the EPA's Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL), a list of drinking water contaminants that are currently not regulated, but may require attention in future. The EPA has currently set a guideline of 20mg/L as an acceptable limit for sodium for those individuals that are on a restricted sodium diet, but there is criticism that this may be far too low. However, the American Heart Foundation has recommended the same level for those that suffer from hypertension, as intake of sodium from food products is much higher than this, and generally poses more of a health risk than the trace amounts of sodium present in drinking water.
High concentrations of sodium and chloride ions have the potential to increase the conductivity of water, which can corrode water pipes and fittings. This can reduce the lifespan of plumbing fittings, and can also have health implications if toxic drinking water contaminants such as lead or copper are leached into household supplies.
Water Purification to Remove Salts from Drinking Water
Removing salts from drinking water is not a simple process, and unfortunately require more complex water purification technology that simple household water filters. There are two water purification methods suitable for removing dissolved salts such as sodium and chloride from drinking water: reverse osmosis, and distillation.
Reverse Osmosis is a water purification process whereby water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane at high pressure. The water is allowed to pass through the membrane, while dissolved salts and other minerals present in the water are retained behind the membrane.
Distillation is a method where water is effectively boiled, giving off steam, which when cooled and allowed to condense, produces drinking water in its purest form. During this water purification process, salts, minerals, and other impurities are separated from the water and remain in the boiling chamber.

Thank you both for your comments. I didn´t have much expectations for this derby. There are a lot of good entries, and most of them much more Woot friendly than mine, so I´m quite pleased with all the votes I´ve gotten so far.
Re: Fall Pattern V2
This is a great piece of design: simple and effective. I am also fond of the model displaying it à la snorgtees :P
Your other work on MySoti is quite interesting, although I don't see myself buying any of the items/merch that are not tshirts...
Nunca pensei vir a encontrar uma submissão vinda de Portugal - parabéns! :P
Love the shirt, but I'm not sure what it has to do with double takes. Try submitting it again in the fall of 2011, when they've got a competition related to autumn. I'd buy one, for sure, if it were for sale.

American presidential elections are a bit bonkers but wonderfully diverting.

And after months and months of vitriol and meteoric nastiness the President didn't even change. But of one thing I am sure, [Read More…]

River Rafting in Rishikesh attracts a number of adventure seeking travelers every year. The excitement and thrill offered by the White Water Rafting are beyond comparison. It is a feeling like no other in the natural settings of beautiful landscapes. River rafting is a trending activity in India and brings thrill to everyone, age being no exception. It's a break from the regular sporting adventure activities and provides a unique experience in itself.
Rafting is a recreational outdoor activity and can be enjoyed by anyone serving the minimum age criterion which is, 12 years of age. However, being a swimmer is not a prerequisite to try this great adventurous water sport. There are four different starting points of Rafting in Rishikesh, ranging from the basic to difficult ones. This means you have four different trips to choose from and your packages can be customized accordingly.
We also look into the safety concern of our guests and make sure that your experience with us is a pleasant one. We abide by the guidelines and policies laid down by the Uttarakhand Government for River rafting in Rishikesh. Each raft has a guide and a helper and before each white water rafting trip the guide briefs the group members and address their queries. Everyone is provided with a safety helmet and a life jacket. Our River Rafting Guides have years of experience and expertise to ensure a safe and buzzing experience for you.
Rishikesh is very conveniently connected by road, air and railways. Rishikesh is just a 6 hours drive from New Delhi, the capital of India. One also has an option of coming to Haridwar by train and take a short 40 minute ride to Rishikesh. The jolly grant airport of Dehradun is just 45 minutes away from Rishikesh and airlines like Kingfisher and Jet Airways have daily flights.
Whether you are looking for a brief 2 hour trip or a 6 hour expedition, there is a river rafting trip available exclusively for you. The shortest river rafting stretch starts from Brahmpuri. Rafting from Brahmpuri is ideal for family river rafting trips. While rafting from Shivpuri, the second starting point, is a 3 hour stretch that is suitable for Corporate outings in Rishikesh and for College Groups. The 4 hour trip that starts from Marine Drive is meant for Dare devils, it might get a little tiring for newbie's; and finally we have a full day rafting trip from Kaudiyala that takes 6-7 hours.
The fun does not end here! Rishikesh provides a wide array of adventure activities like Riverside Camping, trekking to the waterfall, Rock Climbing/Rappelling, Bungee Jumping in Rishikesh, Zip-lining, paintball, flying fox, etc. For those seeking peace can find serenity in early morning yoga, bird watching, sightseeing, ganga aarti, temple visits, night hiking and much more. Our camping packages include most of these activities. We also look into our corporate and college clientele's need and design exclusive packages with customized itinerary. Presence of such diverse leisure and sporting activities truly makes Rishikesh the adventure capital of India.

Having witnessed an-all too brief set by New Zealand upstarts, Ghost Wave, earlier in the day at Pianos, I found it necessary to get another taste of the band's live set. This showcase organized by the New Zealand Music Commission (not to be confused with the New Zealand consulate) was running on schedule, so the band was afforded more time to run through cuts from its superb debut on the reinvigorated Flying Nun label. At times reminiscent of the Brian Jonestown Massacre and at others recalling Kiwi luminaries like the Verlaines, Ghost Wave balanced melody and noise amongst waves of reverb. Other excellent Kiwi acts included New York City transplants and folk revivalist Streets Of Laredo and the fuzzed-out post-pop Black City Lights.

But let me know what you guys got. i already have a stand, just need a tank really. But if you have extras like hood, lights and such, let me know as i might want those too.

The Consumerist ran a fantastic expose of Cablevision, whose agents are trained to lie to customers about the digital TV transition in order to convince them to upgrade set-top boxes (the transition affects over-the-air broadcasts, not cable TV). For its part, Cablevision responds with another lie, saying that it doesn't do this, despite the Consumerist having recorded proof that it does.
More shocking, however, is how the FCC responded: with a shrug. This issue exemplifies the value of muckraking around what appear to be trivial issues: an inconsequential $6.50 upgrade takes us all the way to demonstrating a regulator's disinterest in upholding the law.

Department of Political Affairs and Regional Administrations
Date 27/07/1430H- 20/07/2009.
Press release on behalf of the Department of Political Affairs and Regional Administrations regarding the status of the various NGOs and foreign agencies operating in Somalia.
1. This is the official announcement of the establishment of The Office for Supervising the Affairs of Foreign Agencies. This office has been set up to coordinate all dealings with NGOs and foreign agencies and to fully monitor them.
It is mandatory upon all NGOs and foreign agencies operating in Somalia to immediately contact The Office for Supervising the Affairs of Foreign Agencies in their area. They must contact the Administration of the area that they are currently operating in and they will give out the address for the new office. The NGOs and foreign agencies will be informed of the conditions and restrictions on their work and on how their work may continue. Any NGO or foreign agency found to be working with an agenda against the Somali Muslim population and/or against the establishment of an Islamic State will be immediately closed and dealt with according to the evidence found.
2. As of (20/7/2009), a number of NGOs and foreign agencies currently operating in Somalia will be completely closed down and considered enemies of Islam and Muslims. The current list is as follows:
This decision was finally concluded after thorough research and due to an ongoing investigation into the actions and motives of many of the NGOs and foreign agencies currently in operation. The above foreign agencies have been found to be working against the benefits of the Somali Muslim population and against the establishment of an Islamic State in Somalia. Some of the findings include evidence of training and support for the apostate goverment and the training of its troops. The research also found material support being given to the apostate militias in the border regions in hopes of destabilizing the regions and disrupting the safety and security that the Islamic administrations of those regions have accomplished by the permission of Allah. On top of that, it has not been hidden that over $250 million dollars have been gathered in Brussels on April 23, 2009 from various infidel countries and donors for the crusader Amisom troops to continue their mission of oppression and massacre of the Somali Muslim people.
Previously, CARE and IMC, two American agencies, were closed down as evidence was found of participation in activities against Islam. Proof was uncovered of spying for and aiding the intelligence agencies of the enemies of Islam. In addition, as it is well known, those agencies assisted in the assassination of Sheikh Maalim Adam 'Aayro.
Allah is our Protector and our Sustainer.

U.S. Embassy KhartoumJanuary 26, 2008This Warden Message alerts U.S. citizens to fighting outside of El Fasher and other areas of Darfur between government and rebel forces.

The US Embassy urges all U.S. citizens in the Darfur region to take maximum security precautions, monitor news reports, and remain in a safe location until the situation stabilizes. U.S. citizens traveling in Sudan despite the current Travel Warning should register their presence in Sudan with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate through the Department of State's website (http://travel.state.gov/) and obtain updated information regarding travel and security within Sudan. By registering, American citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of emergency. The U.S. Embassy is located at Sharia Ali Abdul Latif, Khartoum; tel. (249-183)774-700/1/2/3 (outside Sudan); tel (0183) 774-700/1/2/3 (inside Sudan). Americans may contact Embassy by phone or email email@example.com.

Zivny's medical insurance had expired before the attack. News of his death came as Picklyk and others were trying to raise funds to bring him back to Canada for treatment.
Three masked gunmen shot and killed 44-year-old Somali national Ibrahim Hussein Duale, while he was monitoring school feeding in a WFP-supported school in Yubsan village six kilometres from the Gedo region capital of Garbahare. Witnesses say the gunmen approached him while he was seated, ordered him to stand up and then shot him.
For instance, the contracted security of the Kabul-Kandahar road during its reconstruction* prevented the disarmament of the equivalent of a whole private militia. Serious estimates put the number of armed guards who were used by the aid agencies at tens of thousands. An estimated 15 to 30 percent of aid money has been spent on security.

KENYA / GUNMEN KILL WFP HEAD OF SUB-OFFICE IN NORTHWESTERN KENYA « APO-SOURCE : The African News Source via kwout
The incident on Sunday demonstrates a classic propaganda of the deed partnership in which the insurgents with growing skill select a media-significant target and with witless incomprehension international reporters beam the most sensationally damning images of the event around the world so as to deliver the worst possible interpretation. There is no need for a Taliban subtext or even a photo caption, the images speak powerfully for themselves sending messages of a stricken regime put to flight in their gilded uniforms by the daring fighters of the Taliban.

For further information: Bill Curry, spokesman for the Mizell family, +1-206-697-3684 Web Site: http://www.onlinefilefolder.com
SEATTLE, Feb. 3 /CNW/ -- The family of Cyd Mizell, an American aid worker currently being held in Afghanistan, today released the following statementfrom her father, George Mizell: "I am Cydney's father. My family and I want to thank all those who have shown their deep concern for the safety and well being of my daughter, Cydney Mizell, and Muhammad Hadi. I am indebted to the Afghan people for their support of Cydney and Muhammad. "My family and I love Cyd very much. I'm confused why my daughter would be taken because she's a gentle, caring and respectful person. "When we talk to Cyd, she tells us about the friends she's made and the kindness that's been shown to her and her desire to help them. "To those people who are holding our daughter, please let Cyd come home. Each day that passes without knowing about Cyd is difficult for our family andfriends. "We ask that you work with us so Cyd can come home. Cyd knows how to contact us and her co-workers. All of us are waiting to hear from you."
"Mr Thavarajah had been an active member of the Red Cross for many years and served as chairman of the Point Pedro Division for the past three years. In 2005, he received an award for 'Best Volunteer' from the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society in recognition of his contribution during the tsunami tragedy."
Sri Lanka is among the most dangerous places on earth for humanitarian workers, the UN's aid chief says, calling on the government to probe civil war abuses and consider an international rights monitoring mission. Aid agencies say 34 humanitarian staff have been killed in Sri Lanka since January 2006, including 17 local staff of Action Contre La Faim shot dead in the restive northeast a year ago in a massacre Nordic truce monitors blamed on security forces. "There is a concern ... about the safety of humanitarian workers themselves and the record here is one of the worst in the world from that point of view," John Holmes, UN Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs, told Reuters in an interview late on Wednesday during a visit to Sri Lanka.

Valuation of Vague Prospects with Mixed Outcomes

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Previous work on the joint effects of vagueness in probabilities and outcomes in decisions about risky prospects has documented the decision-makers' (DMs) differential sensitivity to these two sources of imprecision. Budescu et al. [6] report two studies in which DMs provided certainty equivalents (CEs) for precise and vague prospects involving gains or losses. They found (a) higher concern for the precision of the outcomes than that of the probabilities, (b) vagueness seeking for positive outcomes, (c) vagueness avoidance for negative outcomes, and (d) stronger attitudes towards vague gains than for vague losses (see also, [13]). They proposed and tested a new generalization of prospect theory (PT) for options with vaguely specified attributes.
The present work extends this model to the case of vague mixed prospects.We report results of a new experiment where 40 DMs used two methods (direct judgments of numerical CEs, and inferred CEs from a series of pairwise comparisons) of valuation of positive (gains), negative (losses), and mixed (gains and losses) prospects with vague outcomes. The results confirm the previous findings of vagueness seeking in the domain of gains, vagueness avoidance for losses, and stronger effects of vagueness in the domain of gains. The CEs of mixed prospects are also consistent with this pattern. The DMs overvalue prospects with vaguely specified gains and precise losses, and undervalue prospects with precisely specified gains and imprecise losses, relative to mixed prospects with precise parameters. Parameter estimates of the generalized model indicate that in the mixed cases the attitudes to vagueness in the two domains are slightly less pronounced, and they are treated more similarly to each other than in the strictly positive, or negative, cases.

Discover the Staycation
Discover Burien
By Andrea Reay, Executive Director, Discover Burien
Having just completed 3 weeks of travel, some for work, some for pleasure, I can honestly report, there is no place like home. With the time and expense required to plan an extended time away (in my case with two small children), I have decided to never leave again (there are only so many times you can watch the LEGO Movie on the iPad and retain your sanity). Besides, Burien has everything I need to plan a perfect "get away" without ever having to leave town.
The most important part of any "cation" is having time to recharge our batteries, reconnect with loved ones, and relax. According to the Society for Human Resource Management or SHRM a large majority of HR professionals (from 88 percent to 94 percent) think that taking vacation is either "extremely" or "very important" for a variety of factors related to talent management, including morale, wellness, performance, retention, a positive culture and productivity. Unfortunately, a majority of American workers who enjoy the benefit of paid vacation time, or 64%, end the year with unused vacation. Don't let this summer pass you by without taking some of that well-earned time off and start planning your staycation today.
The important thing is to plan your staycation the same way you would plan your vacation. I recommend that you start with having your home professionally cleaned. If your house is clean you will be able to relax and not be distracted by dusty shelves. There are many licensed and reputable cleaning service companies based right here in Burien, like Aguilera's Cleaning Service, give them a call (206) 883-3140 and they will get your house in tip top shape. Now that your house is clean, sit down in your chair with a good book and enjoy a cup of tea. Not only does a good cup of tea ease your tension by causing you to pause and slow down for a moment, but some recent research also indicates that green tea contains an amino acid L-Theanine which appears to have a positive mood boosting impact. Phoenix Tea in Burien has over 20 types of green tea to choose from (and more than 100 other teas, including herbals for people who need to relax without caffeine). They are located right in the heart of Olde Burien on 152nd street and offer free tastings so you can be confident that the tea you purchase will not only lift your mood, but also your taste buds. Finally, now that you are relaxed and your mood is sufficiently boosted, really decompress with a visit to one of our local day spas. Enjoy a therapeutic aroma massage as Serenza Salon and Spa, located just off 160th Street in Burien and "relieve tight muscles, improve circulation, and bring your body into a relaxed state of bliss" all for only $40 for 30 minutes. Maintain your staycation glow by closing down your kitchen (it's so clean now you don't want to cook in it and get it dirty again anyway). Eat out and explore some of Burien's best restaurants. Try someplace new and create lasting memories that will last a lifetime. Unsure of where to go? Just visit our website and head to our member directory and find our restaurants/café page. You'll be sure to find something fun to explore, all without ever having to leave town.
For more information on how to make the most of your staycation, including shopping local, community events, as well as specials and discounts offered by member businesses please visit www.discoverburien.com.

Predictions of Industry Mergers --DeWese
This will be a two-part column. Part one will be my blockbuster predictions for the future of the printing industry. Part two will be invaluable education for print salespeople and company owners.
I am truly blessed with healthy modesty. Occasionally, however (never more than once a day), I go on to the Internet to the Google search engine and type in "harris dewese." Up jumps about four pages of references to me—vitally important stuff that I've written, enormously significant stuff I've said, and places where I'm scheduled to appear where I will say even more valuable stuff.
Sometimes, my wife of 41 years, Anne "The Crusher", will sneak in my home office, peer over my shoulder and say, "You idiot! Stop wasting time reading about yourself and get in the kitchen and cook my supper."
Or, one of my so-called buddies, Dave "Mister Perfect" Jurist, or Ronnie "The Critic" Bray, or Mark "Attila the Editor" Michelson will call and, when I answer in my mellifluous baritone with a mellow "Hello," somehow guess my Google Euphoria. They'll say something like, "DeWese, you dimwit, you fake; you're reading Google again! Why don't you do something productive like getting some exercise and going on a diet?"
Hah! My three fair-weather pals and my mean-spirited wife, "Omnipotent Anne", don't have even a whole page among them in Google. I know. I looked them up.
Look in the Crystal Ball
OK, here are some printing industry predictions that will most certainly appear as links on Google. I am revealing them in this column first to benefit you faithful readers. Actually, I've been asked to make these predictions in a "keynote" speech on the last day of the On-Demand
Conference at the Javits Center in New York. The last day is when everyone is packing to go home and there might not be much of an audience, so I'll give it to you first.

Specialists – Rafael Gaglianone
Badger Nation Linebacker Magazine Extra
MADISON - During one of the first position meetings following the Capital One Bowl, Vince Biegel took stock of the linebacker's meeting room.
Chris Borland's seat was empty, as one of the greatest players in school history had finally exhausted all of his eligibility. Gone with him were Ethan Armstrong, Brendan Kelly and Conor O'Neill, three players that put up career numbers in their final season with the program.
It certainly appears to be a daunting task for any unit, let alone a room with 15 linebackers who combined to start seven games. But while the personnel in the room has changed, Biegel looked around and saw a group that had the same want and desire to be great.
"Obviously a lot of key guys are gone, but I think we have a lot of guys who have high expectations," said Biegel. "We have a lot of guys who have experience that can step up and be contributors this year."
With the linebacker position being one of the biggest questions this upcoming season, the Badgers are looking to attempt to replace the experience and impact of Borland and company. To say the Badgers lost an incredible player in Borland is an understatement. He was named to various first and second All-American teams and has been said to be one of the most instinctive players in recent history.
"Young men have to just do what they can do and not try to replace a great one," said Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen. "They just have to play within the defense, play within the scheme."
Entering the second year of the 3-4 defense under Andersen and defensive coordinator Dave Aranda, the Badgers have options and spent the offseason retooling their defense. Senior Derek Landisch is the only linebacker on the roster who has started more than two games, but the Badgers have a handful of bodies, like junior outside linebacker Joe Schobert and fifth-year senior Marcus Trotter, who started at least one game last year and have plenty of playing time under their belts.
"We do have some people that have started games," said Andersen. "I think that will continue to help us as we move forward when we have years where we have a lot of kids graduate or have a lot of players that started leads because we have so many packages on defense."
Flexibility is one of the big benefits Wisconsin's defense should receive this year. After playing with a number of upperclassmen pigeonholed into one position, Aranda has moved pieces around in the offseason designed to create different looks for opposing offenses and cause more pressure on quarterbacks.
"We have plenty of guys that have valuable experience," said Schobert, who had 18 tackles and 2.5 TFLs last season. "We feel that we haven't lost a beat even with the loss of Chris."
Although he's not the most season member of the corps, Biegel has emerged as one of its leaders. After rotating in on certain packages with Kelly to give the Badgers more speed on the field, the redshirt sophomore spent the offseason improving his pass rushing and mastering the playbook for his position and all the other linebacker positions.
"I wanted to become professional at what I do," Biegel said. "I wanted to learn the playbook inside and out, not just as a pass rusher or pass coverage guy. I wanted to know what the whole puzzle looked like in the end."
While the group of linebackers is young with five freshmen in the group, not to mention other true freshmen rotating in on certain packages, the fact that Wisconsin has one of the most experience offensive lines in the country has made the group get experienced in a hurry, especially since footwork, technique and hand placement is a essential to gain an advantage on a group that has five players with starting experience.
"Going against guys like Rob (Havenstein) and Tyler (Marz), two great offensive tackles, every single day is certainly not hurting," said Biegel. "It's advantage for me going against those guys, working that rep and getting better."
It's still the first week of camp and the whole group hasn't been together on the field at one time yet, but the confidence brewing from the veterans will be huge going into the season opener against LSU in just over three weeks.
"We are excited to play against such a high-caliber team and we are confident in our defensive ability," said Schobert. "We will rely on the new packages to be effective when needed."

"Really cute design which we have built the entire shower theme around. Really good quality paper, graphic and print. Really nice that the card is finished on the back with the same color."
"Love the cute design. I bought the plain shape and it was perfect. No need to pay the extra for the decorative edge. Good stock. Wish there had been room to include where the new mom was registered."
"I love this invitation. The design is so sweet and everything turned out perfect. In retrospect, I wish there was somewhere on the card where you can put the registry information. I had to include separate slips with mine. But overall these are some of the cutest baby shower invites I've ever seen and reasonably priced."
"I'm very happy with this product and the Tiny Prints site as well. You have a great selection of baby shower invitations to choose from. The "Puppy Kisses" invitation was easy to customize and I was able to include a cute photo of the expectant mother and her two dogs on the back of the invitation. The paper quality of both the invitation and the envelope were great and the completed invitation was adorable and professional looking! I would definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"I ordered these adorable elephant shower cards for my sister's shower and they arrived quickly and looked even better in person! My sister absolutely loved them!!"

Immune System Boosters
Immune Booster
Today, I'm going to share with you how to win the battle for your immune system and really create a strong immune system and boost your immune system naturally with probiotics.
One of the biggest keys in doing so is getting more probiotics benefits and foods in your diet and improving your digestive health. In fact, there's new research showing that a condition called leaky gut is a major cause of food sensitivities, autoimmune disease, and immune imbalance or a weakened immune system in the body, and again, the key is really increasing probiotics. There are really two main steps here in the immune system boosters probiotics offer.
Two Main Steps to Increase Probiotics Intake
1. You've got to be careful of things that kill off probiotics.
Stay away from the toxicity of tap water that contains fluoride and chlorine. Be careful of taking prescription antibiotic medications. That's the leading cause of probiotics getting wipe out today.
Then also be careful about not consuming too much sugar. Consuming too much sugar can cause bad bacteria to feed, which actually imbalances the good and bad bacteria in your body. Sugar can even cause cancer.
2. You need to start consuming more probiotics.
Probiotics are good bacteria that help you digest nutrients that help detoxify your colon and that help balance out and support your immune system within your body. So the next step is consuming more probiotic foods and taking a quality probiotic supplement.
Best Immune System Boosters: Probiotic Foods
The probiotic foods you should look to consume are things like:
Fermented vegetables like sauerkraut kimchi — Made from fermented cabbage and other vegetables, sauerkraut isn't diverse in probiotics but is high in organic acids (what gives food its sour taste) that support the growth of good bacteria. Sauerkraut is extremely popular in Germany today. Kimchi is a cousin to sauerkraut and is the Korean take on cultured veggies. Both of the fermented formulas are also high in enzymes that can aid digestion.
Probiotic yogurt — Possibly the most popular probiotic food is live-cultured yogurt or greek yogurt made from the milk of cows, goats or sheep. Yogurt in most cases can rank at the top of probiotic foods if it comes from raw, grass-fed animals. The problem is there is a large variation on the quality of yogurts on the market today. It's recommend when buying yogurt to look for three things —that it comes from goat's or sheep milk, is grass-fed, and is organic.
Fermented dairy products, like kefir and goat milk yogurt — Similar to yogurt, this fermented dairy product is a unique combination of milk and fermented kefir grains. Kefir has been consumed for well over 3,000 years, and the term kefir was started in Russia and Turkey and means "feeling good." It has a slightly acidic and tart flavor and contains anywhere from 10 to 34 strains of probiotics. Kefir is similar to yogurt, but because it's fermented with yeast and more bacteria, the final product is higher in probiotics.
Probiotic beverages, like apple cider vinegar, coconut kefir and kvass — Made by fermenting the juice of young coconuts with kefir grains, this dairy-free option for kefir has some of the same probiotics as traditional dairy kefir but is typically not as high in probiotics. Still, it has several strains that are great for your health. Coconut kefir has a great flavor, and you can add a bit of stevia, water and lime juice to it and make a great-tasting drink. Kvass is a common fermented beverage in Eastern Europe since ancient times. It was traditionally made by fermenting rye or barley but in more recent years has been created using beets, fruit along with other root vegetables like carrots. Kvass uses lactobacilli probiotics and is known for its blood- and liver-cleansing properties and has a mild sour flavor.
Kombucha — Kombucha is an effervescent fermentation of black tea that's started by using a SCOBY, also known as a symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast. Kombucha has been around for over 2,000 years, originating around Japan. Many claims have been made about kombucha, but its primarily health benefits include digestive support, increased energy and liver detoxification.
Natto — A popular dish in Japan consisting of fermented soybeans, natto contains the extremely powerful probiotic bacillus subtilis, which has been proven to bolster your immune system, support cardiovascular health and enhance digestion of vitamin K2. Also, natto contains a powerful anti-inflammatory enzyme called nattokinase that has been proven to fight cancer.
Raw cheese — Goat's milk, sheep's milk and A2 cow's soft cheeses are particularly high in probiotics, including thermophillus, bifudus, bulgaricus and acidophilus. Always buy raw and unpasteurized cheeses if you want to receive any probiotics.
Getting some of those probiotic foods will absolutely help your immune system and then so will taking a quality probiotic supplement that contains live or living probiotics. Getting a better brand will help you with those.
Again, if you want to take your immune system to the next level, start staying away from the things that kill probiotics. Load up your diet with probiotics. If you do so, you're going to take your immune system and function to the next level.

Palm Oil Must Drop 6% in Weeks to Lure Buyers, Mistry Says
Palm oil, the world's most-consumed cooking oil, must decline about 6 percent in the next few weeks to attract buyers and clear record inventories, according to Dorab Mistry, director at Godrej International Ltd.
Futures on the Malaysia Derivatives Exchange, the global benchmark, need to drop to 2,200 ringgit ($719) a metric ton for the third delivery month, Mistry told a conference in Guangzhou, China today, reiterating a forecast on Oct. 16. Prices last fell below that level in November 2009. Global vegetable oil stockpiles are at a record and reserves of palm and lauric oils will keep expanding until December, he said.
Palm oil, used in everything from biofuels to candy to noodles, has slumped 26 percent this year as an economic slowdown in China and the European Union curbed demand, pushing inventories to an all-time high in Malaysia, the second-largest producer. Futures for January, the third month, fell 2.5 percent to close at 2,336 ringgit in Kuala Lumpur today. The most-active contract fell to a three-year low of 2,230 ringgit on Oct. 3, and has since rallied 5 percent, reducing the appeal of the tropical oil as a biofuel feedstock.
"In the last fortnight, palm oil has completely priced itself out of any meaningful energy demand," said Mistry, who in June, correctly forecast a slump. "I believe a period of two months of low prices is required to stimulate extra demand and clear away stocks."
Biofuel Demand
Global food use grew by about 3.5 million tons, while consumption for biodiesel shrunk 2 million tons in the year ended Sept. 30 because of double-counting of used oil, waste matters and certain animal oils, said Mistry, who's worked in the industry for 35 years. Supply expanded by 5.9 million tons, leading to a surplus of 4.4 million tons, he said.
Malaysia's reserves probably increased to a record of 2.7 million tons in October, from an all-time high of 2.48 million tons in September as a monthly output of 2 million tons exceeded exports, according to a Bloomberg survey. October production may drop to just below 2 million tons and decline further to 1.8 million tons in November, Mistry said. The Malaysian Palm Oil Board will release data on Nov. 12.
Inventories in Malaysia will reach a record 3 million tons on Jan. 1, Mistry said, restating a prediction. It will take a long time to reduce the stockpiles as Malaysia will suspend tax- free exports of crude palm oil from January, he said.
The Malaysian government may have to announce some "loopholes and exemptions" to its new export tax structure to allow for substantial duty-free shipments to prevent exports from dropping each month, said Mistry.
Tax Changes
Malaysia will cut the export duty on crude palm oil, or CPO, and abolish a duty-free shipment quota from 2013, Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Bernard Dompok said on Oct. 12. The new rates will range from 4.5 percent to 8.5 percent, rising as prices climb from 2,250 ringgit a ton to 3,600 ringgit. The existing levy is 23 percent.
High prices of crude palm oil in Kuala Lumpur will give Indonesian exporters an arbitrage opportunity to ship to Malaysia, turning the nation into a major importer, Mistry said.
"I believe a substantial tonnage of Indonesian crude palm oil is being shipped to Malaysia in November even as I speak, with more to come in December," he said.
Indonesia, the largest producer, reduced taxes last year to boost exports of processed oil, increasing competition for refiners in Malaysia.
Tough Standards
China may increase imports of crude palm oil as stringent specifications for refined, bleached and deodorized palm olein come into effect from Jan. 1, said Mistry. The world's biggest cooking oil consumer plans to tighten rules on imports to improve food-safety standards.
Production may total 18.4 million tons this year in Malaysia and 27.5 million tons in Indonesia, said Mistry. The receding threat of an El Nino weather event and better rainfall have improved production prospects, he said.
While the cyclical bull market for commodities may be coming to an end, prospects for the palm oil industry are brighter than ever, said Mistry.
"When you have China and India as your principal customers, you never need worry about demand or price," he said. "However, this should not lead producers to complacency and to demand high prices all the time."

My 2006 Silverado with 70K miles (2500 HD, 6.6L, 4x4, auto, crew cab, 8' bed) has been making an inconsistent whining noise for the last couple of years and has got progressively worse recently. I'm hoping someone may have some ideas what the sound could be and how to fix. I've taken to a couple of different repair shops, but they were unable to identify what the issue is. Next stop is dealer, but thought I'd try the forum first... Following are some additional detail on the inconsistency of the whining noise.
When I purchased two years ago I would hear the whining only when the rv/camper was on the truck -- would hear it at very low speeds (maneuvering into camp spots, parking lots etc), as well as inconsistently at higher speeds.
Within just the last four months the noise is occurring much more consistently (daily) once the truck is WARMED up, and NEVER happens when cold. It seems to occur more often when UNDERWAY around 1500 RPM or when ROLLING to a stop (foot off accelerator), or ACCELERATING from a stop. TURNING and BUMPS also seem to trigger the whine noise.
It's difficult to tell exactly where the noise is coming from so tried to capture on VIDEO it (passenger was recording) - hopefully quality is good enough to give you an idea what I'm hearing. In the video I'm traveling between 20 and 25 MPH. http://youtu.be/r5vfqLnXrvc
THANK YOU in advance for any insight or guidance you can provide!
