Bill Clinton, famous orator, was holding court at the Humana Challenge on Thursday. Eventually his question-answer session veered from PGA Tour talk to presidential golf. Make that double presidential golf. Turns out the former president played a dozen holes with current President Barack Obama the other day at Andrews Air Force Base. By Clinton's count, Obama shot his "lowest score by far" at Andrews and was five shots ahead of Clinton after nine holes. "But I'm older," Clinton said. "I start slow and pick up." So he did. Clinton said he cut the deficit to one stroke after the first three holes on the back nine. But then Obama left on 13, citing the need to deal with the inauguration and Congressional matters. "Hey," Clinton told Obama, "you're talking to somebody that's had this job and made that excuse." Not that Clinton was sore over losing. Just the opposite. "We were playing partners, so I wanted him to shoot well," he said. Clinton was here at the Humana again because h...

This weekend, undefeated Buford will clash with undefeated Americus for a shot at the AA state title game.
Buford is no stranger to the Georgia Dome. Afterall, the team won the Class A title last season.
Americus also arrives at the Dome with titles -- in their case, back-to-back Class AA Championships. This year, they appear to be a team that's not ready to lose anytime soon.
Georgia Varsity Sports Vent correspondent Lee Gordon caught up with Buford Head Coach Dexter Wood as Wood talks about the Americus game and the FSU/Georgia Sugar Bowl.
Q: What do you like the most about your team?
Wood: We have a very similar program to Americus here at Buford. They are a great program and so are we. We moved from A to 2A. We weren't sure how that was going to work because we lost so many seniors from last season, but tradition and hard work have kept us going, and the players have stepped up.
Q: Is this one of your favorite seasons in your eight years at Buford?
Wood: Definitely. We are a Cinderella team; no one thought we could go 13-0 with all the kids we lost. It's more gratifyng this season and it's more fun. There's no pressure on us at all, and the kids have improved from week to week.
Q: How good is Americus?
Wood: They'll be ready to play us for sure this weekend. The environment (Georgia Dome) is a non-factor in this game. We're playing one of the best teams in the state of Georgia. They could play with anyone in the state, even Parkview. This is by far the toughest game in the eight years that I've been at Buford. Hopefully we'll catch them on a bad day.
Q: You have two guys who have committed to Georgia. Talk about what they mean to your team.
Wood: Trey Chandler and Mickey Henderson have committed to Georgia. We're only 40 miles from Athens and Mark Richt has done a great job with that team. For our kids, it's a dream come true to play for UGA.
Q: Is there a split decision about the FSU/Georgia Sugar Bowl?
Wood: Most of our kids cheer for Georgia because they always have and always will. But I'm split because I like Georgia, but remember, I have two kids who play at Florida State. P.K. Sam and Lorne Sam played for me, and I have a very good relationship with Bobby Bowden and Mark Richt.
Q: YOur defense has pitched four shutouts. Is that a staple of this program?
Wood: We have a good defensive philosophy. Our region has been down this season, but we always put our best players on defense. We lost most of our defense from last year, but the four shutouts are more a product of a weak region than anything else.

Is Bolivia trying to destroy the international climate change regime?
The answer of course is no. Bolivia is actually trying to destroy capitalism. Its constant battle to block the normal schedule of progress in the climate negotiations can surely only be understood as being another theatre in this broader ideological crusade. Or is something a little more sinister going on?
Bolivia's lead negotiator Pablo Solón (reputedly an unrepentant Trotskyite) distinguished himself at the final showdown in Cancun by insisting on spoiling the party, holding the floor at the final decision-making plenary for what seemed like hours when every other country on the planet – including even Marxist-minded allies like Venezuela and Cuba – just wanted to formalise and celebrate the small amount of progress they had made and then get on the first plane home.
Cancun was important because it put the UN climate change process back on the rails after the difficulties of Copenhagen, integrating most of the controversial 'Copenhagen Accord' into a proper 'COP' (Convention of the Parties) decision, and restarting the long slog towards a legally-binding global treaty. After the bitter quarrels of Copenhagen, it was heartening to see everyone united in giving the Mexican foreign minister Patricia Espinoza a hearty standing ovation to recognise her skilled handling of the conference.
Everyone, that is, except Bolivia. Now Solón has submitted a statement [PDF] to the UN climate change secretariat demanding that the decision at Cancun be rescinded on the grounds that Bolivia's objections were ignored by Espinoza when she brought down the chairman's gavel to conclude the meeting. Under usual UN procedures consensus is necessary to make a decision, and Solón maintains that since Bolivia clearly stated its objection at the time, no consensus was obtained.
The preamble states:
Bolivia views this violation of consensus as a disastrous precedent for the multilateral system and the rule of law and will seek to defend the rights of Bolivia and ensure that rules and procedures apply equally and fairly to all States, large and small.
Legally this is difficult territory. Several other parties at the time, objecting to Bolivia's blocking stance, insisted that consensus does not mean that a single country can exercise a veto in the face of the entire world. This seems reasonable, otherwise nothing would ever get done. But unfortunately formal rules have never been agreed – the consensus rule operates as custom, but what 'consensus' means has never been defined or its operation adopted formally by the parties.
In cases of this kind, countries look to precedent. As it happens, there are precedents in the climate negotiations for individual blocking countries to be ignored: the Kyoto Protocol only came into existence because the objections of the Saudi negotiator were summarily dismissed at COP-1 back in 1997. But blockers cannot always be ignored: only six countries objected to the draft Copenhagen Accord, but they carried sufficient weight to ensure that no consensus was reached, and the Accord was merely 'taken note of' rather than adopted as a formal decision.
Many NGOs and activists have sympathy with the Bolivian position. The Bolivians demand extreme action to combat climate change, with a target of 300ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere and a complete cessation of global emissions by 2040. The problem is, apart from the fact that this is dreamland stuff, is that they do not make their demands constructively: their position is more about victim-posturing and blaming capitalism/the rich countries for every receding glacier rather than anything resembling a serious attempt to make progress.
As one sympathetic but frustrated youth delegate blogged after Cancun:
Yep, [they] blocked everything. Understandably, they spoke out against REDD+ [using markets to reduce deforestation], they scoffed at meager commitments, they called for more ambitious action. However, Bolivia also blocked due to typos and missing page numbers; they blocked adaptation funding, technology transfer, a second commitment period of Kyoto. Claiming they were acting with allies, such as the African nations and the small islands states, Bolivia offended countries who were counting on progress in these negotiations.
Now they are blocking again, and it is a fair bet that next week's 'intersessional' climate negotiations in Bangkok will be forced to devote substantial time to procedural issues in the face of this one-state protest movement. This is unfortunate because everyone knows that momentum has to be maintained after the qualified success of Cancun if the next COP in Durban at the end of this year is to sufficiently pave the way for a full legally-binding treaty outcome in 2012 (presumably at Rio+20).
One thing is not entirely clear. Are the Bolivians acting alone out of misplaced ideological passion (as I suggested above) or are they, at least to some extent, acting as 'useful idiots' by adopting an extreme G-77 (developing countries) position and hence giving cover to the wider interests of India, China et al? The Bolivian insistence that rich countries are the sole cause of climate change meshes well with the unwillingness of the big emerging emitters to be coralled into adopting any legally-binding emissions caps of their own.
Some clarity on this may emerge in Bangkok, but I doubt it. More likely formal progress will be glacially slow, and informal progress on the sidelines little different. I know the 'progressive' Cartagena Dialogue countries are planning a busy programme of action to help speed things along, but the meetings will be extremely technical in nature and devoted in large part to process issues. The first order of the day will be to adopt the proposed agenda. But it is a sure bet that one country flag will be raised – Bolivia's – and that their aim will be simple: to block.

Coulter compounds falsehoods in "point-by-point" response to Media Matters' fact-check of Guilty
Research ››› ››› NATHAN TABAK & HANNAH DREIER
In a Newsmax.com article, purporting to respond to Media Matters' recent analysis documenting falsehoods in her new book, Ann Coulter advanced new ones.
In a January 7 article on the conservative website Newsmax.com, purporting to provide a "point-by-point" response to Media Matters for America's recent analysis documenting numerous falsehoods in her new book, Ann Coulter simply compounded the falsehoods.
Coulter's new source still doesn't support her claim that liberals "immediately praised" hoaxers for staging hate crimes
Media Matters noted that Coulter's claim in Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America that two black Duke University students who engaged in a hoax by hanging a black doll from a noose were "immediately praised" by "liberals" was not supported by the sources she cited. In her Newsmax response, Coulter defended herself by falsely suggesting that Media Matters had actually faulted her for not citing any sources for her claim. In the Newsmax piece, Coulter wrote:
"Just because something is not footnoted does not make it false. I am one of the few writers who includes footnotes as service to my readers. "But as long as you ask, among the praise for the perpetrators of the hoax hate crime was a statement by the president of Duke in a baccalaureate address reprinted in the Duke magazine. (Available at: http://www.dukemagazine.duke.edu/dukemag/issues/ 070801/depgar.html) President Nannerl Keohane cited the hoax as a 'protest,' listing it with other admirable protest activities pursued by Duke students that year. She went on to note that in response to the protests, '"[p]rogress has been made.'"
In Guilty, Coulter asserted: "Two black students later admitted they were the culprits and were immediately praised for bringing attention to the problem of racism on campus." This was followed by a footnote citing a Chronicle of Higher Education article and a Weekly Standard article. But neither source supported Coulter's claim that the students were "immediately praised" by "liberals." The Chronicle article did not report that the students were "praised," but rather that "[s]ome classmates defended the two students," while the Weekly Standard article cited the Chronicle article in writing that "some at Duke defended the act, claiming it high-lighted the problem of race relations on campus." Further, the "statement by the president of Duke" that Coulter cited in her rebuttal also does not support her assertion about the hoaxers. In fact, Keohane cited the event as an example of how "[r]ace has indeed been relevant" during the graduating students' time at Duke:
At your opening convocation in August 1997, I spoke on the theme of freedom -- the kind of freedom you might expect at Duke, and my advice on how to use it wisely. I also told you about some of the things you would need to grapple with, freely and responsibly, during your Duke years. One of those predictions was that race would surely matter in your lives. During your first semester, students hung a black doll in effigy on the quad to protest what they saw as our inhospitable environment for African Americans. The Black Student Alliance held an Allen Building "study-in," and Race Day in front of the Chapel drew some five hundred people. Now, in your senior year, several hundred students marched silently through the quad to present a petition demanding still more concrete action to address issues of tolerance, openness, and diversity. Race has indeed been relevant. Progress has been made; but there is still work to be done -- at Duke and in the world outside -- work that you can now begin to tackle with the strength of your degree.
Additionally, Keohane's speech did not come "immediately" after the November 1997 hoax -- it was the baccalaureate address for the Class of 2001. Indeed, during the speech, Keohane noted that the event occurred during the audience's "first semester."
Coulter falsely claimed Swift Boat Veterans did not alter their website's account
Media Matters noted that contrary to Coulter's claim in Guilty that "the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth weren't forced to retract any part of their story," the group altered its website's account of the December 2, 1968, mission for which the U.S. Navy awarded Kerry his first Purple Heart three days after Media Matters noted that the account was inconsistent with that of retired Rear Admiral William L. Schachte Jr., the group's star witness. Coulter responded in the Newsmax piece:
The Swifties did not alter their website's account of the December 2, 1968, mission. They always said Admiral Schachte was on the skimmer with Kerry. Schachte has so sworn in an affidavit. The correction of the website entry was to fix a mistaken description of Schachte as an enlisted man, rather than the lieutenant that he was. That is not a 'retraction.'
In fact, the "correction" did not merely "fix a mistaken description" of Schachte's rank. The revision claims that the skimmer was "under the command of Lt. William Schachte" and that he and Kerry "were accompanied by an enlisted man who operated the outboard motor." The original, however, referred to Kerry as "commanding a small, foam-filled 'skimmer' craft with two enlisted men" and made no mention of Schachte's presence on board the skimmer. The original description matches Kerry's own account, as well as the account of Patrick Runyon and William Zaladonis, two enlisted men who insist that: (1) Schachte was not on the skimmer; (2) that Kerry was in command; and (3) that Runyon and Zaladonis were the only other people besides Kerry on the small craft.
Coulter responded to debunking of her criticism of Kerry's "home-movie camera" by calling Media Matters "nuts"
Media Matters noted that Coulter's assertion in Guilty that Kerry "carrie[d] a home-movie camera to war in order to reenact combat scenes and tape fake interviews with himself" was a discredited charge previously made by Internet gossip Matt Drudge during the 2004 presidential election. Media Matters further noted that The New York Times subsequently reported on the allegation without noting that executive editor and then-columnist Bill Keller had debunked it in a column two years earlier. In her response, Coulter wrote only, "Now Media Matters is accusing me of lying for believing what is printed in the New York Times. Can I please stop responding to these nuts now?" However, Media Matters faulted Coulter for repeating a long-since discredited allegation that has appeared in a number of news outlets, The New York Times among them. Further, as Media Matters noted in its analysis of Guilty's falsehoods, Keller debunked the re-enactment charge in a 2002 column. After viewing 40 minutes of footage Kerry shot in Vietnam, Keller wrote:
The first thing to be said is that the senator's movies are not self-aggrandizing. Mr. Kerry is hardly in the film, and never strikes so much as a heroic pose. These are the souvenirs of a 25-year-old guy sent to an exotic place on an otherworldly mission, who bought an 8-millimeter camera in the PX and shot a few hours of travelogue, most of it pretty boring if you didn't live through it.
Keller also wrote that, according to the Swift Boat Sailors Association, "a group of veterans who manned" the kind of riverboat that Kerry commanded, "lots of enlisted men did the same."

Hudson Valley Restaurant Week is the time of year when some of the finest restaurants in New York's Hudson Valley offer three-course meals at bargain prices. There are over 100 restaurants participating in this year's promotion offering prix fixe lunches for $20.95 and three-course dinners for $29.95 (beverage, tax and tip not included, of course). This is a great deal, especially when you're trying out new restaurants.
This is my second year as a Guest Blogger for Hudson Valley Restaurant Week. I'll review 2 restaurants this time. The first restaurant I chose was Frankie and Johnnie's Steakhouse in Rye, NY. The next will be posted next week. Stay tuned.
Here's an excerpt from my review:
On the prix fixe dinner menu are three appetizer choices, four entrée choices, and two dessert choices.
For the main course, we had the Petite Filet Mignon with garlic mashed potatoes. Though we asked for the steak to be cooked medium, it was served medium well, but it was still delicious. There was no need for steak sauce as the meat was flavorful. The mashed potatoes were perfect with a light garlic taste, and not too buttery. We paired this dish with a glass of Edna Valley Vineyard Pinot Noir.
The Braised Short Ribs was a great dish. The meat was meltingly tender. There was no need for a knife. The sauce had diced carrots in it, which added sweetness to the dish, but complemented the meat and the rice. Overall, very good. A glass of Mc Williams Hanwood Estate Shiraz complemented the entrée.

|Cheesecake Brownie
|Apple Strudel

Before& After - East Bay St.
East Bay St., Charleston, S.C.
Another one of my favorite old ruins renovated without my permission. These folks did a lovely job so I can't hold it against them. ;)
I've been here, I've been there, I've been everywhere this week. I held my annual "gathering of the clans" training meetings for hospital volunteers. Just FYI, my volunteers at Roper St. Francis Healthcare did over 88,000 hours of service in 2010. Pretty impressive group of people. They don't like to come to meetings though, so I stoop to bribing them by promising desserts and door prizes. Heheh.
I don't like going to meetings myself but spent all day in Columbia doing just that. I sat there squirming knowing I should have offered to serve as President or sumthin' this year but whenever someone mentions the word "bylaws" I lapse into a coma and my eyes roll back in my head. I consider that a handicap. I try to pull my weight by taking all their photos. I think I deserve dessert and a door prize myself.
It's the weekend kids!

They did a beautfiul job; a superbly sympathetic renovation...looks like a restoration. I love it when old buildings are finally loved.ReplyDelete
They did do a good job. When it was in it's rustic stage it was the subject for many a photographer and the door was an oil painting I think by John Doyle.ReplyDelete
Ooooh, pretty! I am surprised they didn't repaint that square post by the staircase while they were at it.... but the white paint against those lovely roses is so refreshing!ReplyDelete

I still have not had luck finding a front sight, but I guess we all will continue holding out until either RTG gets them back in stock or we find another source.

Thanks to the ability of hypoxic systems effectively enhance athletic performance, reduce body weight, and improve overall human physical condition, many fitness centres began to use the hypoxic products as a new element for their patrons. It is now a standard for most modern fitness centres in the USA, Australia, and Western Europe to use products from the Hypoxico Company.
The most demanded option of hypoxic workout is group training in a hypoxic chamber. These chambers are equipped with stationary bikes, treadmills, and rowing machines in such a variety that all athletes in the group can find their favourite sport activities. In some fitness centres you can encounter hypoxic chambers that can hold up to fifteen athletes at the same time.
A major and indisputable advantage of hypoxic chambers is the fact that here the athletes and visitors to the fitness centre do not have to use hypoxic masks. For health reasons, wearing such masks is not a viable option for the fitness centres. Indeed, the hypoxic chamber is sealed off while the hypoxic air is blown into it by the hypoxic generator K2, which treats between 500 and 2,250 litres of air per minute. It is therefore not possible for the surrounding air to get into the chamber.
All hypoxic generators come with a four-year warranty. In addition, the Hypoxic Company guarantees a minimum lifetime of 10,000 hours of operation. In combination with hypoxic adapters, hypoxic generators are capable of simulating altitudes up to 6,600 meters above sea level. Generators K2, specially designed for commercial use, are widely used in fitness centres or physiotherapy clinics. They have touch screens with a very diverse range of functions for easy operation. Such functions include alarm and automatic safety shutdown of hypoxic air, when the supply drops below the minimum level of oxygen.

'Stilettos in Vegas' Reveals Life of Vegas Stripper
Las Vegas, NV
Learn about the business of strip clubs and how strippers are misunderstood outcasts through the experiences of a sympathetic Las Vegas stripper Sapphire, a 23-year-old African American from New York. In the dazzling, opulent world of the Vegas sex industry, she becomes the consummate teasing Eve, making all the boyish, awkward, lascivious fantasies of big credit customers come true. She services anyone from divorcés, rappers, and Chinese billionaires.

Hey I'm Dr Anthony Mattis and I'm here to invite you to something really different…
Have you ever wondered (or wished) that there was something totally different? Studies (Harris Interactive) say only 20% of working Americans are passionate about what they do. That means 80% are unhappy, unsatisfied, and unfulfilled.
It's no wonder why 1 in 5 people are diagnosed with some form of depression and anxiety. I was one of those people until I found the tools I work with.
I'd like to be serious for a bit…
You can have a different reality – your life can be different to what you currently have and we can create a different reality."
My question to you is what are you willing to do that would create a different possibility? I came across the weirdest, wildest, whackiest tools and they totally changed my life.
I've been on a journey for 15 years searching for something different. When I chose to step outside the cage I'd been living in and answered the burning desire I had – I had a whole reality change far beyond what I could ever imagine, full of life-long dreams fully actualized.
Are you willing to have a different possibility and to get past your story?
Perhaps this is you:
Do you feel trapped in your current situation?
Do you feel a burning desire to do
something different with your life?
Are you ready to remove the "hidden blocks" that are
preventing you from living your authentic life?

What's the worst thing you've found after midnight?
Last night, when I headed to bed, I discovered that the supply line for my toilet was leaking at the compression fitting. I, of course, discovered this by stepping into the lake of water in my bathroom. This is pretty bush league, as all I had to do last night was towel off the floor and turn off the shut-off.

Kind of hard to beat Ants loosening the compression fitting for the toilet and flooding the bathroom.:eek:
One night, we had settled into bed after turning on the dishwasher. When the dishwasher cycle hit discharge, the air gap on the sink blew apart and pressurized water was hitting the ceiling. Major wakeup! Art
What's the worst thing you've found after midnight?
Probably would be the time I had to use the bathroom and the cat had pooped on the bathroom carpet instead of her litter box.:mad:
The draft inducer motor on my furnace started howling and burnt up in the middle of the night. Oh did I mention it was -16 degrees that night and the wind was blowing about 30 mph! We only had one little electric heater. Luckily I had saved the old inducer fan and motor from the last replacement, I coaxed it back to life with some lube and it got us by a couple days.
One night years ago I woke up at 2 am the house was cold and had a faint smell of gas. I found that freezing rain had completely covered my gas meter. The vent on the regulator was all iced over and the gas pressure had went up high enough that the pilot light on the furnace blew out. I figured it out when I lit a burner on the gas stove and the flame was about 3 times the size it should have been! There I was outside in the cold and rain at 3 am trying to melt the ice with a heat gun. Melted it off and covered it up and everything was back to normal.
MY WET Toothbrush--My mother-in-law had been using it:eek:
Sick babies and pets throwing up and/or choking. Big trees falling across the lawn during a hurricane... but luckily not on the house.

Tornado Siren and a hangover.
Well I guess I didn't find it, it found me.
There was the time the baby woke me up at 2:00 and I went through the kitchen where the dog was to get something (I can't even remember what) in the living room in the course of getting him back to sleep. On the way back through the ktichen--I swear to you I hadn't been through more than fifteen seconds earlier--I didn't bother turning the light on, so I discovered that in that fifteen seconds the dog had peed on the linoleum. Which discovery I made by slipping on said piss. However, this apartment was small enough that there was no place in which a 5'11" adult could fall flat-out to the floor, so I didn't hit my head or anything. No, I managed to land on the corner of the countertop--on my bottom front right rib. YEEEOWCH. It throbs just thinking about it.
Wow Willie...you change the batteries in your Co detector lately?? or was this a planned thing? :whistling2:
after a late ending party at my place.After everyone had left i found the woman who resembled jack black naked in my bed grinning like that chucky character in the horror movies.a sewage backup in the basement would have been more pleasant and much less ackward.:eek:

Evaluating the New York City day-care policy to prevent childhood obesity
This project is an extension of the Early Assessment project, which the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) awarded to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to discover a variety of policies with the best potential to prevent childhood obesity. Early Assessment identified New York City's regulations for licensed day-care centers as a high priority for full evaluation, and the purpose of this project is to support this effort. New York City's regulations designate the amount of time that children are to spend in physical activity, provide nutrition standards for foods on the premises and place limits on television viewing. The evaluation will study the regulations' impact on children's diets and levels of physical activity and the factors affecting implementation of the regulations. Deliverables include annual reports and a final report on findings.

For about 2 weeks now my LED plate lights have gone out 3 times. I haven't had any problems with them since i bought the car almost a year ago. I'm not sure what brand bulbs are in them but they just all of a sudden started acting goofy. I just pulled the builds out and they are find (no build up and seated tightly). Any idea what could cause them to randomly go out? When i turn my car off and back on they turn back on as well. Also when i turn my car on with my headlights off my led tails flash in a sequence (center of tails outward) any ideas on this as well?
The guy i bought my car from did some crappy work to it and i didnt notice it until after i got it and pulled the spare tire and stuff out. That left me having to go back and fix his screw ups.

October 17, 2009
MONTREAL, QC (rushPRnews) 10/17/09 — The Fall is bursting with music in Montreal, as many artists choose this time of the year to give concerts. October 16th the Montreal's Ukranian Federation was proud to welcome on stage legendary musician, singer and songwriter Daniel Johnston, to cover his repertoire of Beatles'songs, and to sing about Casper, Laurie and the devil.
The opening act, the Capital Years entertained the audience as it did in Washington, New York and Boston during this North-American tour. The musical introduction was misleadingly instrumental, as it quickly became melodic pop rock, with noticeable Pink Floyd and Beatles influences.
Once their set was completed, Daniel Johnston finally made his entrance on the stage. It was the kind of sudden and abrupt appearance that reflects his impulsive personality. Right away, Johnston started his three-song solo set, alone with his guitar and partitions. Then he exited the stage only to return with his acoustic guitarist for a second set that begun with Johnston asking the crowd "Are you still here?". The audience answered with shouts and applause. This set consisted of another three songs, the last one being The Beatles' You've Got to Hide You're Love Away, to which the audience sang along.
Johnston then walked off the stage once again, leaving the audience wondering what was going to happen next. The Capital Years appeared back on stage, but the crowd wanted Johnston and weren't quiet at expressing it. Fortunately, he walked back onto the stage for a complete third set with the band, jokingly calling themselves The Beatles. After the first song, Johnston told the audience about a dream he had recently, concerning a man who got sentenced to death for trying to commit suicide, and that man was himself. The crowd was keen on such a random story, bleak and yet told with humor. Johnston played a few songs from his new album Is and Always Was (Eternal Yip Eye Music, 2009), but also many of his older tunes, such as Speeding
For his encore, Daniel Johnston received a standing ovation, singing True Love Will Find You in the End (on the album Retired Boxer, 1984).
Tonight, he will be giving his last concert in Canada, before moving on to California, where he will be giving the three last shows of his North American tour. Then, it's off to England for Daniel Johnston.
Johnston born in Sacramento, California, currently resides in Walter, Texas. It was there that his career started to take shape in the 80's, thanks to a good old fashioned method that consisted of handing out tones of home-recorded tapes and performing live. Though he's been making music and recording albums since the late 1970's, Johnston isn't your typical mainstream rocker. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder, also commonly known as manic depression, the musician has been through constant emotional turmoil, going in and out of mental hospitals and struggling to find the right medication for his condition. Though his severe mood swings have forever been challenging, his trials and life experiences may have contributed to his artistry known for its innocence and authenticity.
Daniel Johnston's music isn't about the right chords or the flawless rhymes; it is first and foremost about truth, about the open expression of genuine thoughts and abstract emotions put into simple notes and unpretentious lyrics.
To know more about this artist, the 2005 documentary entitled The Devil and Daniel Johnston, directed by Jeff Feuerzeig (who received the Directing Award at the Sundance Film Festival) offers a clear and insightful approach on Johnston's life and art, which brings to light a better understanding of his music.

This chapter describes how to perform the initial configuration on the router after you have installed and connected it. It contains the following sections:
– Using Cisco Setup Command Facility
You can perform initial configuration on the router with the help of the following tools:
The setup command facility prompts you to enter the information that is needed to configure a router quickly. The facility steps you through a initial configuration, including LAN and WAN interfaces. For more general information about the setup command facility, see the following document:
Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide
, Release 12.4, Part 2: Cisco IOS User Interfaces: Using AutoInstall and Setup:
This section explains how to configure a hostname for the router, set passwords, and configure an interface to communicate with the management network.
Note The messages that are displayed will vary based on your router model, the installed interface modules, and the software image. The following example and the user entries (in bold) are shown as examples only.
Note If you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the setup command facility again. Press Ctrl-C, and enter the setup command in privileged EXEC mode (Router#).
Step 1 From the Cisco IOS-XE CLI, enter the setup command in privileged EXEC mode:
You are now in the Setup Configuration Utility.
The prompts in the setup command facility vary; depending on your router model, on the installed interface modules, and on the software image. The following steps and the user entries (in bold) are shown as examples only.
Note This setup command facility is also entered automatically if there is no configuration on the router when it is booted into Cisco IOS-XE.
Note If you make a mistake while using the setup command facility, you can exit and run the setup command facility again. Press Ctrl-C, and enter the setup command at the privileged EXEC mode prompt (Router#). For more information on using the setup command facility, see The Setup Command chapter in Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference, Release 12.2T, at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2t/fun/command/reference/122tfr.html
Step 2 To proceed using the setup command facility, enter yes .
Step 3 Basic management setup configures only enough connectivity
Step 4 Enter a hostname for the router (this example uses myrouter):
Step 5 Enter an enable secret password. This password is encrypted (for more security) and cannot be seen when viewing the configuration.
Step 6 Enter an enable password that is different from the enable secret password. This password is not encrypted (and is less secure) and can be seen when viewing the configuration.
Step 7 Enter the virtual terminal password, which prevents unauthenticated access to the router through ports other than the console port:
Step 8 Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:
A summary of the available interfaces is displayed.
Note The interface summary includes interface numbering, which is dependent on the router model and the installed modules and interface cards.
Step 9 Respond to the following prompts as appropriate for your network:
The following configuration command script was created:
Step 10 Respond to the following prompts. Select [2] to save the initial configuration:
When using the Cisco Setup, and after you have provided all the information requested by the facility, the final configuration appears. To complete your router configuration, follow these steps:
Step 1 The facility prompts you to save the configuration.
Step 2 When the messages stop appearing on your screen, press Return to get the Router> prompt.
Step 3 The Router> prompt indicates that you are now at the command-line interface (CLI) and you have just completed a initial router configuration. Nevertheless, this is not a complete configuration. At this point, you have two choices:
This section shows you how to access the command-line interface (CLI) to perform the initial configuration on the router.
If the system configuration dialog message does not appear, a default configuration file was installed on the router prior to shipping. Follow these steps to configure the router.
Step 1 Enter the following answer when the system message appears on the router.
Step 2 Press Return to terminate autoinstall and continue with manual configuration:
Several messages are displayed, ending with a line similar to the following:
Step 3 Press Return to bring up the
Step 4 Type enable to enter privileged EXEC mode:
The hostname is used in CLI prompts and default configuration filenames. If you do not configure the router hostname, the router uses the factory-assigned default hostname "Router."
4. Verify that the router prompt displays your new hostname.
Verify that the router prompt displays your new hostname.
To provide an additional layer of security, particularly for passwords that cross the network or are stored on a TFTP server, you can use either the enable password command or enable secret command. Both commands accomplish the same thing—they allow you to establish an encrypted password that users must enter to access privileged EXEC (enable) mode.
We recommend that you use the enable secret command because it uses an improved encryption algorithm. Use the enable password command only if you boot an older image of the Cisco IOS XE software.
For more information, see the "Configuring Passwords and Privileges" chapter in the Cisco IOS Security Configuration Guide . Also see the Cisco IOS Password Encryption Facts tech note and the Improving Security on Cisco Routers tech note.
If you configure the enable secret command, it takes precedence over the enable password command; the two commands cannot be in effect simultaneously.
(Optional) Sets a local password to control access to various privilege levels.
Specifies an additional layer of security over the enable password command.
This section describes how to configure the console line's idle privileged EXEC timeout. By default, the privileged EXEC command interpreter waits 10 minutes to detect user input before timing out.
When you configure the console line, you can also set communication parameters, specify autobaud connections, and configure terminal operating parameters for the terminal that you are using. For more information on configuring the console line, see the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals and Network Management Configuration Guide . In particular, see the "Configuring Operating Characteristics for Terminals" and "Troubleshooting and Fault Management" chapters.
4. exec-timeout minutes [ seconds ]
Configures the console line and starts the line configuration command collection mode.
exec-timeout minutes [ seconds ]
Sets the idle privileged EXEC timeout, which is the interval that the privileged EXEC command interpreter waits until user input is detected.
The following example shows how to set the console idle privileged EXEC timeout to 2 minutes 30 seconds:
The following example shows how to set the console idle privileged EXEC timeout to 30 seconds:
The router provides an Ethernet management port, named GigabitEthernet0.
The purpose of this interface is to allow users to perform management tasks on the router; it is an interface that should not and often cannot forward network traffic but can be used to access the router via Telnet and SSH to perform management tasks on the router. The interface is most useful before a router has begun routing, or in troubleshooting scenarios when other forwarding interfaces are inactive.
The following aspects of the management ethernet interface should be noted:
By default, a forwarding VRF is configured for the interface with a special group named "Mgmt-intf." This cannot be changed. This isolates the traffic on the management interface away from the forwarding plane. Basic configuration is like other interfaces, however, there are many forwarding features not supported on these interfaces. No forwarding features can be configured on GigabitEthernet0 interface as it is only used for management.
The Gigabit Ethernet Management port is always GigabitEthernet0.
This sections shows how to assign an IP address and interface description to an Ethernet interface on your router.
For comprehensive configuration information on Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, see the "Configuring LAN Interfaces" chapter of the Cisco IOS Interface and Hardware Component Configuration Guide , http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_2/interface/configuration/guide/icflanin.html
For information on interface numbering, see the software configuration guide for your router.
4. interface { fastethernet | gigabitethernet } 0/0/ port
Displays a brief status of the interfaces that are configured for IP.
interface { fastethernet | gigabitethernet } 0/ port
Specifies the Ethernet interface and enters interface configuration mode.
Note For information on interface numbering, see About Slot, Subslot (Bay), and Port Numbering.
Router(config-if)# description GE int to 2nd floor south wing
(Optional) Adds a description to an interface configuration.
Sets a primary IP address for an interface.
Displays a brief status of the interfaces that are configured for IP.
Configuring the GigabitEthernet Interface: Example
This section describes how to specify a default route with IP routing enabled. For alternative methods of specifying a default route, see the Configuring a Gateway of Last Resort Using IP Commands tech note.
The Cisco IOS-XE software uses the gateway (router) of last resort if it does not have a better route for a packet and if the destination is not a connected network. This section describes how to select a network as a default route (a candidate route for computing the gateway of last resort). The way in which routing protocols propagate the default route information varies for each protocol.
For comprehensive configuration information about IP routing and IP routing protocols, see the Configuring IP Routing Protocol-Independent Feature on Cisco.com.
IP routing is automatically enabled in the Cisco ISO- XE software. When IP routing is configured, the system will use a configured or learned route to forward packets, including a configured default route.
Note This task section does not apply when IP routing is disabled. To specify a default route when IP routing is disabled, refer to the Configuring a Gateway of Last Resort Using IP Commands tech note on Cisco.com.
A router might not be able to determine the routes to all other networks. To provide complete routing capability, the common practice is to use some routers as smart routers and give the remaining routers default routes to the smart router. (Smart routers have routing table information for the entire internetwork.) These default routes can be passed along dynamically, or can be configured into the individual routers.
Most dynamic interior routing protocols include a mechanism for causing a smart router to generate dynamic default information that is then passed along to other routers.
If a router has an interface that is directly connected to the specified default network, the dynamic routing protocols running on the router will generate or source a default route. In the case of RIP, the router will advertise the pseudonetwork 0.0.0.0. In the case of IGRP, the network itself is advertised and flagged as an exterior route.
A router that is generating the default for a network also may need a default of its own. One way a router can generate its own default is to specify a static route to the network 0.0.0.0 through the appropriate device.
When default information is being passed along through a dynamic routing protocol, no further configuration is required. The system periodically scans its routing table to choose the optimal default network as its default route. In the case of RIP, there is only one choice, network 0.0.0.0. In the case of IGRP, there might be several networks that can be candidates for the system default. The Cisco IOS-XE software uses both administrative distance and metric information to determine the default route (gateway of last resort). The selected default route appears in the gateway of last resort display of the show ip route EXEC command.
If dynamic default information is not being passed to the software, candidates for the default route are specified with the ip default-network global configuration command. In this usage, the ip default-network command takes an unconnected network as an argument. If this network appears in the routing table from any source (dynamic or static), it is flagged as a candidate default route and is a possible choice as the default route.
If the router has no interface on the default network, but does have a route to it, it considers this network as a candidate default path. The route candidates are examined and the best one is chosen, based on administrative distance and metric. The gateway to the best default path becomes the gateway of last resort.
3. ip route dest-prefix mask next-hop-ip-address [ admin-distance ] [ permanent ]
ip default-network
ip route dest-prefix mask next-hop-ip-address
ip route dest-prefix mask next-hop-ip-address [ admin-distance ] [ permanent ]
Router(config)# ip route 192.168.24.0 255.255.255.0 172.28.99.2
ip default-network network-number
ip route dest-prefix mask next-hop-ip-address
Router(config)# ip default-network 192.168.24.0
Selects a network as a candidate route for computing the gateway of last resort.
Creates a static route to network 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 for computing the gateway of last resort.
Specifying a Default Route: Example
Sample Output for the show ip route Command
Virtual terminal (vty) lines are used to allow remote access to the router. This section shows you how to configure the virtual terminal lines with a password, so that only authorized users can remotely access the router.
The router has five virtual terminal lines by default. However, you can create additional virtual terminal lines. See the Cisco IOS XE Dial Technologies Configuration Guide at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/dial/configuration/guide/2_xe/dia_2_xe_book.html .
Line passwords and password encryption is described in the C isco IOS XE Security Configuration Guide: Secure Connectivity at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ios_xe/sec_secure_connectivity/configuration/guide/2_xe/sec_secure_connectivity_xe_book.html . See the Security with Passwords, Privilege Levels, and Login Usernames for CLI Sessions on Networking Devices section. If you want to secure the vty lines with an access list, see the Access Control Lists: Overview and Guidelines.
3. line vty line-number [ ending-line-number ]
8. From another network device, attempt to open a Telnet session to the router.
line vty line-number [ ending-line-number ]
Starts the line configuration command collection mode for the virtual terminal lines (vty) for remote console access.
Note To verify the number of vty lines on your router, use the line vty ? command.
From another network device, attempt to open a Telnet session to the router.
Verifies that you can remotely access the router and that the virtual terminal line password is correctly configured.
The following example shows how to configure virtual terminal lines with a password:
After you configure the vty lines, follow these steps:
This section describes how to enter line configuration mode for the auxiliary line. How you configure the auxiliary line depends on your particular implementation of the auxiliary (AUX) port. See the following documents for information on configuring the auxiliary line:
4. See the tech notes and sample configurations to configure the line for your particular implementation of the AUX port.
Starts the line configuration command collection mode for the auxiliary line.
See the tech notes and sample configurations to configure the line for your particular implementation of the AUX port.
This section describes how to verify network connectivity for your router.
ping [ ip-address | hostname ]
telnet { ip-address | hostname }
The following display shows sample output for the ping command when you ping the IP address 192.168.7.27:
The following display shows sample output for the ping command when you ping the IP hostname donald:
This section describes how to avoid losing your configuration at the next system reload or power cycle by saving the running configuration to the startup configuration in NVRAM. The NVRAM provides 256KB of storage on the router.
To aid file recovery and minimize downtime in case of file corruption, we recommend that you save backup copies of the startup configuration file and the Cisco IOS-XE software system image file on a server.
2. copy nvram:startup-config { ftp: | rcp: | tftp: }
copy nvram:startup-config { ftp: | rcp: | tftp: }
Displays the layout and contents of a flash memory file system.
copy {bootflash0|bootflash1}: { ftp: | rcp: | tftp: }
Copying the Startup Configuration to a TFTP Server: Example
The following example shows the startup configuration being copied to a TFTP server:
Copying from Flash Memory to a TFTP Server: Example
The following example shows the use of the show {flash0|flash1}: command in privileged EXEC to learn the name of the system image file and the use of the copy {flash0|flash1}: tftp: privileged EXEC command to copy the system image to a TFTP server. The router uses the default username and password.
Note To avoid losing work you have completed, be sure to save your configuration occasionally as you proceed. Use the copy running-config startup-config command to save the configuration to NVRAM.
Enter the following commands in the Cisco IOS-XE to verify the initial configuration on the router:
When you have completed and verified the initial configuration, the specific features and functions are ready to be configured. See the Software Configuration Guide for the Cisco 4400 and Cisco 4300 Series ISRs.

Australia is lagging behind the rest of the world when it comes to service orientated architecture (SOA) adoption but globalization pressures will force these organizations to act, according to Saul Cunningham, SOA principle at Oracle Australia/New Zealand.
He said the Aussie 'wait-and-see' adage won't cut it if IT shops want to keep pace with competitors.
"They [local organizations] will be at a significant disadvantage if they hold out for too long," Cunningham said.
"IT systems must be agile to meet changing business conditions. SOA equals faster and cheaper deployment of new IT services to the business.
"SOA-based services are easily reused and can be rapidly assembled into new, composite applications which result in reduced IT costs and a lowered maintenance budget.
"The ability to re-use IT services reduces the internal complexity of an IT environment. Businesses also reap the rewards of higher quality IT services through multiple testing cycles from different service customers, lower integration costs, and reduced risk."
Cunningham warned that executive buy-in for SOA deployment is crucial.
While SOA helps with new application development, integration and legacy modernization, he said the business case is far easier to make if it is undertaken for reasons of growth, value creation and cost control.
"The business understands the idea of improving shareholder value which takes the form of revenue growth and operating cost reduction delivered by business responsiveness, consolidation and modernization. It allows IT to more effectively sweat fixed assets," Cunningham said.
"SOA allows the business to easily and inexpensively assemble and disassemble new applications that exist across operating platforms and proprietary applications.
"The underlying framework will change the current role of IT by letting business managers create the IT functionality they need to support business initiatives."
Cunningham said organizations don't have to be held hostage by isolated systems and a lack of interoperability.
He referred to the high cost of maintaining legacy applications, which can dominate the IT budget. Replacing a mainframe, he said, can cost millions of dollars.
With SOA there is no need to rip and replace as all services as equal regardless of what technology or generation they are from.
"SOA can reuse 40 year-old mainframe systems that still provide useful services and combine them with Web-based systems to build a composite application, which means new application development will be faster than if organizations had to start from scratch and reinvent the wheel," Cunningham said.
The CTO of software vendor, IDS Scheer, Wolfram Jost, said SOA has been around for years despite all the buzz. He said inadequate support for cross-functional processes is a top management issue.
"If you implement an ERP (system) today you can guarantee in a year you'll need to change your processes, and today's architectures cannot support process changes easily and [inexpensively]," Jost said.
"SOA is an enabler to allow changes to business processes."
When it comes to making the pitch to the CEO for an SOA-based approach, Jost said the case must be made in business terms.
"It's important to show to your executive management that this technical stuff supports higher growth and profit," he said.
Despite the SOA hype, it appears getting that executive buy-in remains an uphill battle.
Steve Tieman, vice-president of strategic modernization initiatives with Estee Lauder, said he doesn't see a business case beyond the firm's existing SAP portal and Estee Lauder's senior executives don't see a business value in the agility offered by SOA.
"I feel SOA is being pushed from the technical perspective, and that's not going to convince our decision makers that we should spend the money and time to make that work," Tieman said.
Debra Boykin, global business analyst at the brewery, Molson Coors, said SOA is still a pretty fuzzy concept.
"I think SOA is still a pretty fuzzy concept and it's going to need a lot more explanation for us to get our arms around it."

In 2012 the South Pole Telescope (SPT) will begin a 625 deg2 survey to measure the polarization anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). Observations of the CMB B-mode angular power spectrum will be used to search for the large angular scale signal induced by inflationary gravitational waves. Additionally, the B-mode spectrum will enable a measurement of the neutrino mass through the gravitational lensing of the CMB. The new 780 pixel polarization-sensitive camera is composed of two different detector architectures and will map the sky at two frequencies. At 150 GHz, the camera consists of arrays of corrugated feedhorn-coupled TES polarimeters fabricated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). At 90 GHz, we use individually packaged dual-polarization absorber-coupled polarimeters developed at Argonne National Laboratory. Each 90 GHz pixel couples to the telescope through machined contoured feedhorns. The entire focal plane is read out using a digital frequency-domain multiplexer system. We discuss the design and goals of this experiment and provide a description of the detectors.

Re: Dropped Trans
It stinks that the first repair resulted in the second failure. Hopefully they will get it fixed right this time or as you said the fear of reliability issues would keep me from driving outside a reasonable distance from a nearby dealership. I sure hope they get it right this time or I would demand a replacement transmission. I hope it doesn't come to that. Good Luck.
Re: Dropped Trans
I just received a telephone call from Lauren from Cadillac. Cadillac what I don't know as she did not take the time to explain other than, "It has been escalated to me".
"I understand you want a new transmission instead of a repaired one"
"Honestly", she went on to explain, "usually if we can repair a transmission we will do that".
I tried to tell her that the dealer has had my car a week and...
"I can only take the case from here forward," she interrupted. "I will call you Wednesday".
So I said, "Madam, you do what you have to do. Thank you"
I can see this is nothing but lip service. I will guarantee everyone here that nothing, absolutely nothing, will happen. The dealer will have my transmission buttoned up by Wednesday.
If I am wrong it is beer for everyone (but you have to claim it in person).
At least Laura with customer service did move this in the Cadillac hierarchy.

To me she had an opportunity where her reactions and response could make a positive out of a negative situation or continue to foster negativity.
The fact that she interrupted you and basically ignored your history and bluntly stated that she can only take it forward meant to me that she did the latter (fostered negativity).
She could have been empathetic and tried to get more facts from you. She could have tried to explain (whether you chose to believe it or not) that they would stand behind the repairs and ensure that the rebuilt transmission would be as good as a new one. In the end though she came across as customer friendly and focused as a clerk at the department of motor vehicles. Unfortunate for any car brand much less Cadillac.
It's bad enough that you had a major failure the first time, but in the end things happen. I have had that happen with other cars (even with Toyotas and Acuras), but the fact that it failed again within a week... They should be falling over themselves to make this right or at least make you feel good about it.

Don't hold your breath.
Come to Tampa and I'll buy you a beer, but we will have to plan the trip so that you are never more than 25 minutes from the closest Cadillac dealer.

Re: Dropped Trans
This thread got me thinking -- I've purchased 14 new cars from dealerships over the last 44 years: Volkswagen, BMW, Dodge, Toyota (3 cars), Acura, Infiniti (2), Mercedes (3), and Cadillac (2). I'm demanding but realistic, and I try to treat others as I expect them to threat me. I can't think of a single problem that I've had with any of the dealers, all of which treated me with respect, give me good deals on the cars I wanted, and serviced/fixed my cars properly the first time. True, there were a few persistent problems, especially with the Dodge (numerous recalls), but nothing that I believed was deliberate or due to negligence or incompetence. I have to wonder if it's a regional thing (the industry is very competitive in California), or if it has more to do with the way I interact with the sales and service personnel.
Re: Dropped Trans
It could be a little of both. I usually get along with people as well. My Service Writer, well, some people ou just don't "click" with and he's one of them. It started out when he tried to sell me on the 50,000 mile service package. Included was a valve cleaning service which consisted of a bottle of Techron. I asked him, "Our cars have DI. This will not clean the valves." He didn't like that. His answer: "Cadillac has us say that". I told him that was incorrect and (basically a lie - I can't remember my exact phrasing). So we didn't hit it off as I called his bluff.
Now I get short answers if I get any answers. I get no communication from him and I now don't like him. So, it is hard for me to be nicey-nicey to someone who A) lies and B) doesn't really do his job when they have had my car for a month and me, the mushroom growing in the dark, is getting larger and larger.

I used to get that with the Acura dealers. With my last car (RL) the service minder would provide a code that corresponded to required service given the the miles and the type of driving that occurred. For example A1 = Oil and filter change, B1 = Oil, filter & differential fluid change, etc. along with various inspections that the dealer did anyway when you took the car in.
Initially the dealers would say, "oh, you need B1 service, that includes a number of inspections, oil change, ......." Or they would say, "do you want the 30K mile service?" Which was inflated with non essential stuff.
I would go in there and just ask for only what the manual stated for the given code (I.e. oil change, tire rotation). I still got the inspections since they did that anyway, and the service was much cheaper since I only got what the manual called for. Eventually the SM figured it out and gave up trying to up sell me.
Re: Dropped Trans
Got my car back on Friday. Initially it seems to drive just fine. When I step on the gas she takes right off. don't know if that is because it now selects the proper gear or what. I haven't driven it much and will shake it down this week. Still have concerns over how long it will last. The service tech told me they gave it a good test drive. Yes they did - for 134 miles!
They also discovered a noise in the right rear and they replaced the right rear spindle and gave it a 4 wheel alignment, which was nice. I still am miffed at the 134 mile test drive. That's why I had a full tank of gas.

Re: Dropped Trans
If the 134 miles prevents you from having another failure, then let them have it. You probably saved that by not having the car. I know it's the little and in this case the big things that get under your skin, but like I said, if this insures it's fixed then let it slide.

Re: Dropped Trans
Add me to those who think taking an extended test drive was a very reasonable idea, and they did fill your tank ... but they should have given you a heads-up before they did so.

We quickly got ready to go, grabbed my camera and headed down to the hospital.
We walked in just after he had taken the puppies out. The tech's were busy aggressively rubbing the puppies, swinging them and doing everything possible to get the pups to breath and cry out.
It's easy for me to just send Bret off to work and get so busy at home doing the myriad of daily tasks to really not think about what it is Bret does exactly at work. It's times like this visit when I realize he gets to do some pretty amazing things at work on a daily basis.
It also reminds me how hot I think his brain and Veterinary skills are....

In sight of a crumbling 18th-century slave trade fort overgrown with jungle, a conveyor belt pours ochre-red iron ore into the belly of a bulk carrier moored on the muddy Sierra Leone River.
Past and present peer across the water at each other in this small West African state, one of several hailed by economists as flag bearers of a new rising Africa seen as a pole of investment and potential prosperity in a troubled, recession-hit world.
In New York, London and Johannesburg, fund managers, bankers and frontier market analysts are telling clients Sub-Saharan Africa, dismissed a decade ago as hopeless and chaotic, is now ready to rival India and China as an economic success story.
"People are pouring capital into the continent," said Charles Robertson, Global Chief Economist at investment bank Renaissance Capital. "We believe now is Africa's moment."
He cites figures to show that swelling growth and investment is buoying oil development, mining, banking, telecommunications and retail markets in the world's least developed region.
But bubbling up with the statistics are enduring questions about governance, poverty, stability, corruption, climate change and, crucially, if and how the extracted wealth will be shared.
At a launch by Renaissance in a Johannesburg hotel last month of a book on Africa's "Economic Revolution," participants heard a prediction that the region's economy will grow from $2-trillion (U.S.) today to $29-trillion by 2050, greater than the output of both the United States and the euro zone.
The chic hotel of the book launch is a world away from Sangbulima, a hamlet of 1,000 souls perched on Tasso Island in the Sierra Leone River where wooden canoes loaded with nets cluster on a muddy beach not far from Bunce Island slave fort.
Across the channel is the iron ore loading terminal run by London AIM-listed company African Minerals, a major player in the Sierra Leone mining revival the government believes will propel the nation into a new promised era of African prosperity.
Day and night, Sangbulima villagers see the ore ships go by on their way downriver to the Atlantic Ocean.
"We see them pass," said Idrissa Kargbo, 38, "This mining brings a lot of money to the country.
"But, for us here, we are not seeing the money," he added.
Here, as elsewhere on this booming but turbulent continent, extractive industries, construction, mobile phones and other harbingers of modernity are thrusting themselves into the lives of Africans, stirring high expectations but also uncertainties.
Renaissance Capital, one of Sub-Saharan Africa's biggest cheerleaders, sees it "charging forward on almost every metric."
A chorus of similar reports from institutions, banks and consultancies forecasts Africa roaring ahead as a fast-growth pole in the next decade, its projected 5-6 per cent expansion rate outstripping the expected global average by several points.
This upbeat outlook is pinned on an expected "demographic dividend" of a young and rapidly growing work force in the next few years, on rapid urbanization, and a surge in middle-class consumers.
Around 90 million African households had joined the world's consuming classes by 2011, and this would rise to 128 million in 2020, according to a report by the McKinsey Global Institute.
The African Development Bank sees African consumer spending almost doubling in the next decade.
This is seen opening up huge investment and business opportunities, especially in retail, telecoms and banking.
But some are cautious about the blizzard of upbeat figures. "It clouds a lot of issues," Dianna Games, CEO of Johannesburg-based consulting company Africa@Work, told Reuters.
While acknowledging the "rising tide effect" of the African resurgence, Ms. Games believes the statistics conceal "shaky pillars" – especially failures by African governments to translate resource-driven growth into real improvements in education, health, jobs and a better business climate.
"There is so much that still needs to be done, policy-wise,' she said.
Ideological critics of "Africa Rising" see a continent being not lifted but "looted." They say foreign corporations allied with local elites are applying a neo-liberal formula of resource-driven development that depletes and degrades Africa's non-renewable natural wealth, resulting in net loss, not gain.Report Typo/Error

Pretty cool name, eh? Sound like Italian soccer player, isn't it? Anyway, Scoliosis is a condition that involves larger spinal curves, greater than 10 degrees. The spinal curves are usually S-shaped or C-shaped, and the spine is often twisted. Scoliosis usually occurs in the mid back (thoracic spine) or lower back (lumbar spine).
