Did you know?
Because of rough seas, Port Nolloth diamond divers only work an average of four days in a month.
As you drift asleep at night, deep under the covers in a rented sea shanty in Port Nolloth, you will hear the distant 'tong-tong' of a bell buoy.
That almost-romantic sound has accompanied the dreams of most who have overnighted here for more than 100 years. The bell buoy is attached to a guiding wire channel that helps small craft enter this notoriously tricky little seaport at the foot of the large, arid Richtersveld region in the Northern Cape.
The first name for this mist-shrouded cove in the sand dunes was given by the Nama people who lived here: Aukwatowa, which means 'where the water took away the old man'. No one, it seems, has yet pinned down the story about 'the old man', but it could well have something to do with a high Atlantic tide and a fisherman who had a fatal day.
It then became known as Robbe Bay (rob meaning 'seal' in Afrikaans) because the Nama sold sealskins and dried seal meat to the hardy copper miners who began to drift up into the area in the mid-1800s.
The bay was later renamed Port Nolloth after its surveyor, Captain MS Nolloth.
Not only has the approach into the bay been an awkward one, but the landing at the pier was also difficult. Younger, nimbler passengers leapt across from deck to pier, while the older ones were winched across in a cylindrical basket and 'deposited less than gently on the landing', wrote a visiting bishop.
In 1874 a narrow-gauge railway linking Port Nolloth to the copper mining centres of the interior was completed. But shipments of ore out of the port were a challenge and Port Nolloth slumped back to its former status as a relatively insignificant settlement between sand and sea.
In the 1920s, however, diamonds were discovered around Port Nolloth and a boom ensued. Fortune-hunters arrived from everywhere and the town turned reasonably rowdy. Less than 50 years later, diamond beds were discovered out in the Atlantic Ocean, washed down the Orange River, and Port Nolloth became a young fortune hunter's dream all over again.
Like the myth of Timbuktu, Port Nolloth gathered a legend unto itself as the place where you arrived poor and left wildly wealthy.
There are still stories being told of those who 'struck it rich', but most of today's diamond divers just get by on what they can recover from the ocean. But don't think for a second that they're unhappy. It's a grand old life at sea with your mates on board and the prospect of treasure down below...

How to get here
Port Nolloth lies approx. 700km north of Cape Town, or an eight-hour drive or so. Take the N7 past Springbok to Steinkopf, and turn west on the R382 through the Anenous Pass.
Best time to visit
Springtime in Port Nolloth is great. The September/October blooms of Namaqua daisies are sprinkled throughout the town.
Around the area
You can go on day drives to Springbok, Kleinzee, Alexander Bay and some of the Richtersveld villages like Lekkersing and Eksteenfontein.
Tours to do
There are a number of Richtersveld tours available. You should set aside at least a few days if you're going to visit the Richtersveld. Namaqualand is to the south of Port Nolloth, and is also an interesting area to visit, particularly during the flower season, when millions of blooms blanket the otherwise fairly sparse landscape (the flowers usually bloom in late August/September/October). Check the listed Northern Cape Tourism website for details.
Get around
Hire a sedan car from Cape Town and head up the N7 – it's a great journey of discovery along the West Coast heading towards the Richtersveld. If you want to venture deeper into the Richtersveld, it's advisable to hire a hardier vehicle such as a 4x4.
What will it cost
Accommodation costs are relatively low in Port Nolloth. Expect to pay approx. R250 per person per night for self-catering accommodation.
Length of stay
Stay two nights in Port Nolloth and see something of the southern Richtersveld.
What to pack
Even in summer (November to March), you can get chilly nights if the mist descends on Port Nolloth, so pack something warm in case. Summer days can be scorching, so pack light clothes, and it can get warm during the day even in winter.
Where to stay
The Bedrock Lodge cottages in Port Nolloth offer authentic, reasonably priced self-catering accommodation, and are probably the best place to stay in Port Nolloth.
What to eat
Port Nolloth has a number of restaurants serving anything from pizzas to seafood. Check the listed Port Nolloth website for details.
Best buys
Visit George Moyses in the neighbouring MacDougall's Bay. He's an old diver who runs a little museum next to the slipway and sells self-produced videos about life on board a diamond boat.

State Democratic Party Holding Vigils on Anniversary of Hacking
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Outside of Charleston City Hall Monday the South Carolina Democratic Party rattled off what they call failures of Governor Haley's administration, paying special attention to last year's Department of Revenue hacking on its one year anniversary.
"It's a huge issue not only to allow the hacking but to cover it up for two weeks," Chairman Jaime Harrison said.
They insist Haley intentionally hid the information from the public for 16 days and therefore plan to hold vigils throughout the state all week.
"They continue to say things and they think if they say it that it's true. It's not true. We didn't hide anything, you can talk to the director of SLED, you can talk to the FBI, they handled everything. We were doing what they said in according to all of that," Haley said. "What I can tell you is we haven't had anything happen and we're as strong as we've ever been when it comes to protecting taxpayers around the state."
The governor's office also provided details on everything that went into action after the breach:
October 26, 2012 state and federal agents allowed them to notify the public. Nov. 2012 Governor Haley gave executive orders to all state agencies to cooperate with Division of State IT. December 2012 - February 2013 notifications were sent to 3.8 million taxpayers. January-March everyone affected was encouraged to sign up for identity protection through Experian. That contract is now ending so you are required to sign up all over again with CSID beginning Thursday.

"I'm the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg."
This should keep you busy while I take a couple days off:
- Dave Eggers' very funny essay on soccer in America is a must-read; highly recommended.
- Equally anecdotal and insightful, less humorous: T Magazine has an eye-opening feature on the Netherlands' Ajax, who give "Highlight Factory" a new meaning. (Also from my T Mag backlog: Freeganism in practice. Curiously enough, many aspects of freegan culture echo that of the poverty-stricken underclass in China.)
- In defense of digital media; Pinker's case; how culture shapes language and cognition
- New York Times' elitist lexicon (via Buzzfeed)
- Kind of intense political/feminist analysis/defense of M.I.A./Maya as a political/feminist martyr/pariah in the face of Lynn Hirschberg's decidedly anti-political/feminist exposé in the New York Times. (Sady also analyzes "Alejandro" vis-à-vis Madonna)
- Highly recommended: "I'm Comic Sans, Asshole." An instant classic if there ever was one. (McSweeney's)
- Justin E.H. Smith rhapsodizes about palindromes. (3QD)
- "Closing the Digital Frontier," via The Atlantic's 14¾ Biggest Ideas of the Year.
- GQ has a fascinating profile of Lakers' owner Jerry Buss
- China, ever the land of eternal contrast & disparity: home to a tech-savvy labor movement (NYT via Evan Osnos on the New Yorker) and (adopted) home to fake white businessmen (The Atlantic via PSFK)
- Robert Hass on Chinese poetry in the second half of the 20th Century. (The Believer)
Bluechips & Theory:
- Jonathan Jones on Anish Kapoor and Damien Hirst.
- Chuck Close: Life. As with art, music, film, etc., I hate reading book reviews instead of the books themselves, but sometimes secondary sources suffice… at least until I can justify throwing down $25 for it…
- Danto, part two—I'm still ambivalent about his definition of art as "embodied meaning," which I first encountered a few years ago, but this is a good place to start if you're not familiar with his work (which I can't say that I am).
- In accord with the New York Times review, I found Bravo's "Work of Art" surprisingly watchable, living up to its pseudo-Warholian premise more than the SJP branding and Bravo production tropes might suggest. (I was mostly curious because I met Trong, pictured above, a few days prior.) If nothing else, "Work of Art" affirms that artists' egos are particularly suited for the magnifying glass of reality television.
- Hyperallergic looks at the show inside and out. The former article wisely points out that the reality TV formula of themed 'challenges' all but precludes any possibility of artistic growth, as well as the insular—if idealized—working conditions. In other words, it's hard to take the show for a window into the art world (not that "Top Chef" does any better) when television necessarily imposes a distance between life and work.
- I've never watched "Project Runway," but apparently WSJ does, drawing parallels between the two shows in their recap of the first episode.
- GQ talks to Bill Powers ("Work of Art" judge & NYC gallerist)
- Related: The current state of the Brooklyn Museum (where the winner of "Work of Art" will get a solo show).
- Inverted: Googleheim?

Celebrity Economists Make Waves
Who are people turning to nowadays for business advice?
Celebrity economists.
Big-name experts on the economy like Paul Krugman, Joseph Stiglitz, Michael Porter, Robert Reich and Muhammad Yunus feature prominently in a new ranking of influential business thinkers compiled for The Wall Street Journal.
The findings – based on Google hits, media mentions and academic citations – show just how much the business-guru landscape has changed since 2008, when a previous ranking was conducted using similar methodology. Author and consultant Gary Hamel ranked No. 1 at the time, a spot now occupied by Krugman.
"I call the new list the invasion of the celebrity economists," says Tom Davenport a management professor at Babson College and author of the 2003 book, "What's the Big Idea?"
Davenport, who compiled this year's ranking with Jeffrey Cronin, a research librarian at HBS, says business and management topics have fallen out of favor, thanks to a shortage of megatrends like Six Sigma and business process re-engineering, which swept the nation in the 1980s and 1990s. "There's no really big topic," he says.
Meanwhile, the financial crisis has made economic insight valuable to businesses and consumers alike, he says. "People are casting about for what caused the crisis," he says. That's one of the reasons economists did so well in the rankings, he says.
To be sure, much has changed in recent years in the way gurus gain exposure. The new ranking, for example, doesn't take into account Twitter followers, which might offer a modern measure of an individual's influence. Twitter followers was not necessarily a good measure of a guru's impact, says Davenport.
Davenport and Cronin separately calculated the number of Twitter followers and found that 20% of the top 50 gurus – most of them academics – still did not have accounts. The social media tool is still an "emerging trend" for many gurus, Davenport says. Bill Gates had the most Twitter followers at roughly 9.3 million (that has since jumped to nearly 12 million).
But at least one aspect of the ranking has not changed. Women thinkers, who were noticeably absent from the 2008 list, as the Journal noted at the time, are still largely missing from the newest results. In fact, investor and entrepreneur Esther Dyson is the only woman to make the top 50 this year.
Davenport says one reason may be because women tend to have more defined areas of expertise, whereas the men at the top of the list address broader topics.
Here are the top results from 2013 and 2008, for comparison:
- Paul Krugman
- Joseph Stiglitz
- Bill Gates
- Michael Porter
- Thomas Friedman
- Eric Schmidt
- Richard Branson
- Malcolm Gladwell
- Robert Reich
- Jack Welch
- Muhammad Yunus
- Niall Ferguson
- Michael Dell
- Howard Gardner
- Jimmy Wales

Constituent Update - January 31, 2014
Webinar Scheduled: Final Rule on New Generic Labeling
Effective Jan. 6, 2014, FSIS expanded the circumstances in which labels may be considered "generically approved." This new rule will allow establishments to label a broader range of products without first submitting the label to the agency for approval. Companies will still need to submit labels bearing certain claims, such as organic, natural or animal-raising, as well as labels for temporary approval; products produced under religious exemption; and export-only that bear labeling deviations. FSIS will continue to verify that labels are accurate, not misleading and in compliance with all labeling features.
FSIS will host webinar on this subject on Feb. 11, 2014, all at 2 p.m. ET. To access the webinar, go to https://connect16.uc.att.com/usda/meet/?ExEventID=85277207 and follow the on-screen instructions. Please be sure to log on as a participant.

Public Meeting to Address Agenda Items for Codex Committee on Fresh Fruits, Vegetables
FSIS and the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), are sponsoring a public meeting to provide information and to receive public comments on agenda items, and draft U.S. positions to be discussed at the 18th Session of the Codex Committee on Fresh Fruits and Vegetables (CCFFV). The session will be held in Thailand, Feb. 24-28, 2014.
The public meeting will be held Jan. 30, 2014, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at USDA Headquarters, Jamie L. Whitten Building, 1400 Independence Ave., SW, Room 107-A, Washington, DC 20250. Documents and agenda items related to the session of CCFFV will be accessible at the Codex website at http://www.codexalimentarius.org/meetings-reports/en/. To join the public meeting by conference call, participants should dial 1-888-844-9904 and use participant code: 512-6092.
During the meeting, the committee will discuss:
- Draft Codex standard for golden passion fruit
- Proposed draft Codex standard for durian
- Proposed draft Codex standard for okra
- Review of the maturity requirements in the Codex standard for table grapes
- Proposed layout for Codex standards for fresh fruits and vegetables
- Proposal for new work on a Codex standard for the Ware potato
- Proposal for new work on Codex standards for fresh fruits and vegetables
- Review of the terms of reference of the CCFFV, i.e. direct reference to "consult with the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Working Party on Agricultural Quality Standards."
CCFFV is responsible for elaborating worldwide standards and codes of practice as may be appropriate for fresh fruits and vegetables. The group consults with UNECE and other international organizations working partly to explain worldwide standards and codes of practice and avoid duplication in the standards development process.
Codex was established in 1963 by the Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Health Organization. Codex seeks to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the food trade through adoption of food standards, codes of practice and other guidelines developed by its committees and by promoting their adoption and implementation by governments.

From the Winter 2012 issue of Redlands Magazine
For its residents, Redlands is a special place, endowed with a long-held sense of community and a generous giving spirit. Nowhere is that more evident than through the philanthropic works of these people who have given of themselves in some way - through time, money or both - to help ensure a future filled not only with promise, but with actions as well. These individuals perform good works not for glory or recognition, but because of who they are. Each has a strong sense of community and wants to give back.
Cyndy Dunham
It's a dog's life
Cyndy Dunham volunteers at the Redlands Animal Shelter for a simple reason: "I'm just an animal lover, and there are so many that need help. I can't say no," she says.
The 57-year-old Yucaipa resident, who has a full-time job as a legal assistant, has been a regular presence at the shelter for 11 years. She used to work there part time in a paid position scrubbing kennels, until back surgery earlier this year forced her to quit that job because physically it became too difficult.
But Dunham still regularly reports to the shelter - as a volunteer. She fosters homeless dogs that are pregnant or have had new puppies, keeping them at her home until they are at least 10 weeks old and ready for adoption. She also brings shelter dogs to Redlands City Council meetings to encourage adoption, and she gets the word out about the shelter and its events. And, she oversees the shelter's volunteers and is writing a handbook for them.
Volunteers fill a variety of roles at the facility. Bonnie Hopson, for example, organizes adoption events at Stell Coffee & Tea Co.; Anges Ferrara raised funds for the shelter through the Redlands Run and purchased needed antibiotics for the dogs; Steve and Kim Salt take dogs and needed supplies to off-site adoption events and have paid part of the adoption fees for some of the new owners; and Bonnie Oulette assists during off-site adoption events when she's not on reserve duty.
"I'm really such a small link to a huge chain of very giving volunteers," Dunham said.
After growing up in Yorba Linda on an acre-sized property with horses, pigs and geese, it wasn't until years later - when Dunham got involved with helping dogs - that she learned how many pets were given up by their owners.
"It was shocking to me - the unclaimed animals," she said. "We don't get wild animals at the shelter. They come from homes, somebody owned them."
Dunham enjoys comforting dogs brought to the shelter, and often sits with them while they get shots.
"They're dependent on us, and they give us so much in return," she said.

Roger Bell
All across America, happy trails
The great outdoors is something Dr. Roger Bell has spent his life sharing with others through his work designing and building trails across America. And that includes trails close to home as well, including several in Redlands, the San Bernardino National Forest and the hills above Yucaipa and Mentone.
In Redlands, Bell helped set up the Oakmont, Creekside and Teddy's trails, plus another one in Caroline Park. He's a Redlands Conservancy board member and also vice chairman of American Trails, a national organization.
Trail-building endeavors provide a sense of closure and the satisfaction of finishing something, says Bell, a former dean of students at the University of Redlands with a doctorate in higher education.
"One thing I like about building trails is there is a beginning and an end," he said. "You get to see something on the ground that wasn't there before. You see some pretty amazing places."
Trail building isn't something Bell, 77, picked up in retirement. He started doing it some 40 years ago, joining his brother, a contractor and trail builder for the U.S. Forest Service and other public agencies. Bell's business, Bellfree Contractors Inc., also designed and built trails and bridges.
After building trails in 13 states, in 2008 he published a book, "Trail Tails," which recounts all sorts of stories about trail building.
"It's about the funny things that happen in the back country when you least expect it," he said.
Bell also is co-founder of the Redlands Sustainability Network, which promotes local food growers and sustainable living practices. The group is planning a sustainability festival at the University of Redlands on March 9.

Don Gifford
Always helping, always making a difference
Since the 1960s, when Don Gifford was a teacher and football coach at Redlands High School, he has believed it's important to provide positive influences for young people and to make a difference in their lives.
Through the years, he has donated his talents and countless hours to many Redlands-based nonprofits including the Micah House, Redlands Family YMCA and the Redlands Educational Partnership Foundation.
"I'm not a wealthy guy so I can't be one of those big donors, but I can serve. That's what I feel is in my bailiwick, so that's what I try to do," he said.
"It also gives me a chance to meet people I wouldn't ordinarily get to meet."
While age may have limited his mobility somewhat, the 78-year-old Gifford plans to continue his philanthropic efforts for as long as possible.
"I don't like to sit around too much," he said. "Not only do I enjoy what I am doing, but young people need so much help these days. Everywhere I look, I see great need."
Gifford and his wife, Marjorie, moved from Los Angeles to Redlands in 1957. The Pepperdine University graduate says all he ever wanted to do was be a coach, teacher and counselor. After his stint at Redlands High, he was the head football coach at Big Bear High School from 1970 to 1980.
After that, Gifford went on to become the vice principal at Beaumont High School and remained in that position until he retired in 1994.
Since then, Gifford has been a volunteer instructor for the Redlands Unified School District's home-school program. He also participates in ongoing fundraisers for the Redlands Educational Partnership Foundation, which provides funds and grants for school programs in the arts, science, music and math.
For the YMCA, he has long been a part of the organization's annual sustaining drive, which raises funds to help families with the cost of Y memberships and help kids go to camp.
"The relationships I have with young people are the best in the world," Gifford said. "I encourage everyone who can to get involved with nonprofits that do so much for kids. This work is so important, and we can never have enough people out there doing it."

Working toward the future
Dianne Landeros has a vision for the future of Redlands, where she has lived for 37 years, and she's working to make it happen.
"My vision includes the beautiful things about Redlands we all love - the beautiful character, old buildings, beautiful architecture, spirit of involvement. We want to preserve all of those good things," she said.
"I would like to see sustainable groups. We could do more in terms of tourism in Redlands. This is a beautiful little town."
Landeros backs efforts to preserve historic sites, supports local and "green" businesses, opposes big-box chain stores (including the Walmart Supercenter that the City Council recently approved) and promotes local sustainability. She's involved with many organizations including the Redlands Good Neighbor Coalition, which she co-founded, and the Redlands Sustainability Network.
She's also is active in the Democratic Party (her husband, Steve Chapman, is president of the Redlands area Democratic Club); has been on the steering committee of Women United, a group of progressive women in Redlands who have registered voters and held forums to educate voters about ballot propositions and local candidates, without making endorsements; and she is on the board of Planned Parenthood for Orange and San Bernardino counties.
Landeros helps organize non-partisan Common Cause forums that are held at the A.K. Smiley Public Library every two months to encourage people to become involved in the democratic process.
She also works with Step By Step, a community re-entry coalition for parolees that she co-founded in 2006. The group provides bus passes to parolees so they can get to work or school; connects them with literacy, tattoo removal and job-help programs, and helps them in other ways. The goal is to help parolees so they don't re-offend.
"What I like is that I can stand up for what I believe in and try to make a difference," said Landeros, 66, a retired human resources officer for the Riverside County Health Services Agency. Her daughter, Toni Momberger, is editor of the Redlands Daily Facts.
"You don't just want to complain about things you don't like," Landeros added. "Being retired, I can now devote my time to the things I think are most important."

Redlands Day Nursery
Second century of caring for kids
EDITOR'S NOTE: When we were soliciting suggestions for Heroes of Giving, Redlands Day Nursery was mentioned more than once. We opted to write about the nonprofit agency, and not focus on any single staff member.
Throughout its history, the 106-year-old Redlands Day Nursery has continued to grow both in size and mission.
It was founded in 1906 by Mrs. C.W. Merriman with the aim of providing day care for underprivileged children whose parents worked in the citrus groves and packing houses. The original building was located in Merriman's home, on the corner of Pearl and Orange streets.
Today, the nursery has expanded to two locations (1041 E. Brockton Ave. and 1643 Plum Lane), and provides services for more than 200 children. Its full- or part-time services are now open to all children, ages 2 to pre-kindergarten.
"Until recently, our center was com-pletely funded by the state and families had to qualify to get their children in our program," said Elvia Clavesilla, RDN program director. "While we still offer admittance through the state-funded program, we have now opened our services up to everyone though parent-paid tuition."
Tuition fees, along with community donations and state subsidies, help keep RDN in business, Clavesilla says. The center also relies on an annual campaign drive for its survival.
"We have always had a lot of support from the Redlands community. That has helped us flourish through the years," said Barbara Park, president of RDN's board of directors. "And we are very grateful for everyone who has contributed, as donations are crucial."
Staff loyalty also has played a large part in RDN's stability. Many instructors have been there for more than 30 years.
"All of our staff members are highly-trained in the developmental, cognitive, cultural and linguistic needs of every child," Clavesilla said. "They also are very diverse and speak different languages, which allows us to better accommodate everyone."
Along with providing a rich educational experience, RDN also offers three healthy meals per day, as well as an afternoon snack. Loma Linda University students visit the center periodically and hold nutrition workshops for staff and parents.
"We are definitely moving in a new direction as we become less dependent on state funds," Park said. "Next year, we hope to open up more community-based classes through our tuition program. We want to get the word out that we are here for anyone who needs us."

Economists say real officials worth every penny
Now that the lockout is over, and officials have reached a labor deal with the NFL, a nagging question still remains: What is an NFL referee worth?
The 121 NFL Referees Association officials, many of whom have full-time jobs, earned an average of roughly $149,000 last season. Before the lockout, the league offered to boost that to $189,000 per official by 2018.
To the working stiff -- even the lunch-pail fans who love the NFL -- that's a lot of money for a second job that's mostly weekend work. Toss in the pension plan, which has become the sticking point in the negotiations, and most regular employees in the private sector simply can't relate.
But after the replacement officials' debacle, culminating in Monday night's infamous blown call in the Green Bay Packers-Seattle Seahawks game, economists say NFL officials -- specialists in their field -- are worth every penny of their salary and more.
SALVAGED:How the NFL season was saved
"In terms of whether the refs should be getting paid more than between $80,000 and $140,000 a year, my sense is, yes, they should," said sports economist Andrew Zimbalist, a Smith College professor who has published several books on the professional sports landscape.
"These are extraordinarily skilled people who are doing a job that is very demanding and even a little bit dangerous. The notion that these guys are considered part-time employees rather than people who need to stay in shape year-round and they need to study and learn and be trained about the new rules and regulations and be concerned about illegal hits and player safety, that salary range strikes me as on the low side."
Added Paul Haagen, professor of sports and contract law at Duke University: "The veteran officials are worth what they can get paid (based upon) the value they bring to the product and how much competition there is.
"Is the commissioner worth $12 million a year? On recent performance, it's not clear he is. What is clear is these referees have very significant value, and trying to play the game without them is hurting the game."
But how do you explain the big numbers to working-class people?
"Relatively few Americans work under the scrutiny that these officials work under," Haagen said. "It's a pretty high-pressure environment. When you drop your wrench, it's not on SportsCenter repeatedly that night."
While he argues for officials to get a raise, Zimbalist sympathizes with the owners' push to implement a 401 (k)-type retirement program, which is in line with today's expected benefits.
HOCHULI, HOCHULI:10 best tweets after lockout ended
Kevin Quinn, associate dean and professor of economy at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wis., is in the eye of the NFL storm. The Packers were robbed of a victory Monday night by a mistaken call by replacement officials, and Quinn says that play (and the subsequent outrage) tipped the balance of power in the negotiations, making the officials even more valuable.
"Literally, as soon as that play occurred, it was pretty obvious the NFL had lost this deal," he said.
Zimbalist says the NFL is motivated because, with each bad call by replacements, the price likely goes up.
"Owners are going to have to cut a bargain that's not as good as the bargain they hoped they'd cut," he said.

"My ground game is good." -James Toney
AA > werdum > fedor
Microsoft is apparently teaching Best Buy employees that Windows 7 beats Linux in every category imaginable. Redmond isn't just saying that Windows has more software or games available than Linux does or that Windows has compatibility with more devices and hardware than Linux does. The software giant is actually going as far as teaching employees that there are certain statements about Linux that need to be labeled as myths.
An employee of Best Buy and a member of the Overclock.net forums recently uploaded slides from a Microsoft presentation titled "Linux Compare" that gives various reasons for using Windows 7 over Linux. The images are no longer available on the forum, but thanks to the beauty of cache, we've saved 11 of the screenshots and embedded them below:
Microsoft has already said that all editions of Windows 7 will work fine on netbooks, but now it wants to make sure that consumers believe they all beat Linux on a netbook.
At this point, everything looks fine. Microsoft is simply going to explain the pros of running Windows over Linux.
By slide three, it gets ugly. Microsoft makes sure that Windows 7 appears to be superior in every way.
Here Microsoft is simply helping Best Buy employees remember what to list when explaining to a customer why Windows 7 is superior.
This slide isn't too bad, though WINE is conveniently left out.
No mention of Linux; again, not too bad.
Here Microsoft is simply talking up the good points of Windows 7.
Linux doesn't offer free downloads? The actual operating system is a free download!
This is where Microsoft should have stopped. Linux does indeed offer a ton of updates, and they're easy to download and install.
This is probably the most controversial part of all the slides. Microsoft has somehow managed to imply, without actually saying it, that Windows 7 is more secure than Linux.
This Microsoft training material for Best Buy retail staff is deliberately attacking Linux. While there are correct assertions in the slides, the majority of the statements are inaccurate, or are only accurate in the specific way they are worded.
Blizzard might not support World of Warcraft on Linux but WINE solves that problem well. Calling Linux's safety reputation a myth, that Linux updates and upgrades are difficult and time consuming, is quite ridiculous. The mention that Windows Live Essentials is not available for Linux is of course correct, but it's not as if Linux doesn't have many free alternatives to the software suite.
The general tone of the slides is very propagandist and is full of deliberate skewing. The fact that Microsoft finds this type of "training material" necessary is just shameful.
war "06"#963
Fucking grrrrr. I hate microsoft so bad.
war "06"#963
i run both and find this amusing.
Are Best Buy employees capable of learning anyway? I imagine they'd be like the useless POS that work at PCWorld over here in Blighty.
"Oi relax you animal!"
"Actually that's what I'll be calling you now... Animal."
Please listen to my radio shows
The Ninjashoes Show - A show about Pro Wrestling and MMA.
End of Days Radio: Alpha Edition - A show about well..some F'd up shiot
Seems like a lot of effort to convince the 3 guys who run Linux exclusively and shop at Best Buy.
Thus spake Pirate
This type of push is good for Microsoft obviously and essential for Best Buy. In departments like gaming and computers BB doesn't make shit off the core product. Where we rake in the dough is accessories. (yes, that cable or case you bought has been marked up about 800%).
If all we sold is console units or computers we'd go out of business. So basically, if people are using free "accessories" (software, or in this case an operating system), it's very bad news for us.
I don't think there is much of a threat out there, but I guess this is kind of the "immunization" against customers getting curious or educated.
Ladies and gentlemen, the wonderful world of business.
What dost thou know me for?
A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a
base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited,
hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a
lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson,
glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue;
one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a
bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but
the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar,
and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I
will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest
the least syllable of thy addition.

KEDT in Texas, WOUB in Ohio, and KUAR in Arkansas have broadcast his performances on television and radio.
His performances have been described as follows:
He touched all bases in a professional saxophone performance: long lyrical passages filled with beautiful resonant tone; control of phrasal entrances and exits with eloquent finesse at all dynamic levels; articulations and bravura passages that were exciting and convincing; and a general subordination of technique to the point of speaking freely and musically through the instrument. --John Mitchum, GMTA Newsletter
Andy exhibits a mastery of some of the most difficult and dynamic works in the saxophone literature. [He] displays a formidable technique, mature, sensitive musicianship, and a deep understanding of twentieth-century musical language and aesthetics.

I took a short break from Tuesday Newsday and regular writing here to do some guest posts recently. Below is a quick roundup of what I've been up to in terms of articles written, podcasts and speaking engagements.
Designing Engaging and Enjoyable Long-Form Reading Experiences – guest article for Smashing Magazine
This article incorporates a lot of concepts that have been driving me crazy about digital content lately, some of which I've mentioned in this blog. Bad advertisements, disrespecting the reader, poorly chosen typography and lack of whitespace are just some of the concerns I cover here. If you're spending time writing for the web, why not make sure it's visible in a format that is inviting to the reader? Check out this article for ways to show your site or app's visitors that you're glad they're there.
The Top 10 Ways to Create Digital Magazines – guest article for .net magazine
I wrote this post for .net magazine, one of my favourite magazines both in print and in digital, on some of the available methods and frameworks for creating digital magazines. I focused on systems which don't export to just one platform as I don't believe that's a sustainable model for most publishers today. Instead I covered things like Laker Compendium (which we use for Idea magazine) and Treesaver that prioritize great web experiences over proprietary formats.
"Deep, Dark Secrets of Rupert Murdoch" – talk at Dublin's #BeerMob event
At the first (but hopefully not the last!) Dublin #BeerMob, we talked about topics of interest to those who are developing sites or apps for mobile. And there was beer. I talked about Rupert Murdoch of all people, and the secrets behind The Daily. I covered why this isn't a sustainable method or one anyone should copy and what designers and developers should focus on instead for their users. Slides are below:
"Beware the Shiny" – talk at Refresh Dublin on March 15th
I spoke at Refresh Dublin this month on the topic of being cautious of trying to learn too many things all at once. Sounds like a strange topic from someone who lectures in web development! But I see a lot of students spin and spin, not building a foundation as they jump from one shiny framework to the next. We all want to learn new things and keep our skills competitive, but it's important to do so in a sustainable manner. Below are my slides from the talk:
Guest podcast on the Small Business Show
I had the opportunity to speak with Conn and Kehlan this week on the Small Business Show podcast about current news items in the Irish world of SMEs.
Guest podcast on the Technology.ie podcast with Stewart Curry
Stewart Curry and I chatted recently with Conn and Michele on the Technology.ie podcast, giving a behind-the-scenes view of Idea magazine and Woop.ie.
Guest posts for Information Week during Mobile World Congress
Speaking of shiny things, I had the opportunity to attend Mobile World Congress and work with the Information Week team. Mobile World Congress is something I've wanted to attend for a long time, so it was great to get to help out such an excellent team. Below are some of the articles I contributed:
Samsung Galaxy Beam Turns Heads: MWC 2012
SecureVoice Encrypts Mobile VoIP Communications
Emporia Telecom: Mobile Phones for Elderly Users

This is an excellent local garage that I wish was more local to me - but worth the journey. Joe, who runs the office side of the business, is brilliant and reassuring (my car is extremely old). There were clear explanations at every stage and all the work was fast and efficient. I highly recommend this garage
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended

Very friendly people good service.
Great service. Mechanic was helpful.

New clutch, one new tyre and a few other little bits, highly recommend, good service and kept me updated throughout
Alex was friendly and informative, I would recommend this garage. My car was fixed within 24 hours which was great and as an extra bonus i was also provided a courtesy car which was very handy. This garage will be my go-to garage from now. Thank you very much.
absolutely superb service from Alex. highly recommended and i will continue to use for all my cars. the guy was very honest and fair and treated us better then most main dealers. Southgate motor engineering is a example to how all garages should do business.customer for life
had my car remapped stage 1 from 122 bhp - 142 bhp Made a really nice change to the car with the extra power, great work at a great garage, would recommend 100%
Absolutely brilliant service. Quoted and delivered work faster than expected. Would definitely recommend.
Experienced garage who dealt with a number of separate issues very well, including ordering in specialist parts. Returning to find the car washed and vacuumed was a nice touch. 8 stars rather than 10 purely for the fact that I was informed they would need to keep the car overnight and it was only when I put my foot down that the job was finished on the day. Normally I'd accept that but I had dropped the car off at 7am so clearly had hoped to be first in the queue!
Very good on the whole, the mechanic was able to fix the problem within half an hour. Branko very helpful and honest. Will definitely go again. They are a little pricey compared to the other estimates I received but you are guaranteed a very top service.
They were great, really nice people, very quick, would use again.
Very happy with service, done a decent job, would use again.
Pleased with the work done, would use again.

Warm, sunny weather is finally here as we celebrate this Fourth of July Weekend. Make your holiday safe and fun for everyone by following these simple guidelines:
The 4th of July would not be complete without a picnic.
Food safety is always important, but the summer heat can present special considerations. To avoid unpleasant episodes of 'food poisoning' or food borne illness remember to:
Most importantly, be prepared. Idaho's diverse geography and sunny climate offers endless outdoor opportunities, but accidents or unexpected events can occur at any time. Carry a first-aid kit and enough food and water for an emergency. Always let friends or relatives know your travel plans. With a little bit of planning and by taking precautions, your outdoor experiences can be treasured for a lifetime.

Richard Gere
It looks like they'll both be going stag to Halloween parties this year as Padma Lakshmi and Richard Gere have called off their romance.
The "Pretty Woman" hunk began dating the "Top Chef" cutie back in April, though they were able to avoid getting too public with their relationship for the most part.
There's a new couple in town, as Richard Gere is said to be dating "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi.
According to reports from Page Six, the duo have been together for a short time, but have been spending time together while the "Pretty Woman" actor films in New York City.
No, she's not appearing on a new season of "Teen Mom." Dakota Fanning's baby bump is for her new movie, "Franny."
Filming in Philadelphia on Tuesday (October 22) with co-star Richard Gere, the 19-year-old actress wore a gray top over her belly with a black jacket and long blue skirt.
Adding another film to their stacked resumes, Theo James and Dakota Fanning are slated to join the cast of "Franny."
According to Deadline, the "Twilight" beauty and "Underworld: Awakening" actor will team up with confirmed cast member Richard Gere in the indie drama.
After an 11-year marriage, Richard Gere and Carey Lowell are calling it quits.
A friend of the former pair confirmed the news to People, stating, "They'll do everything possible to keep things amicable and put their child first."
Lending their names to a good cause, celebrities of all kinds gathered together to attend the City Harvest 19th Annual An Evening Of Practical Magic in New York City on Tuesday (April 16).
Making a stunning entrance, Chrissy Teigen and her hubby John Legend arrived to the Cipriani Wall Street held event as they worked the red carpet while taking time to pose for awaiting photographers.
Looking over the last year of theatrical releases, W magazine has selected the hottest actors in the game. And there are plenty of deserving gentlemen that made the cut.
Obviously no list would be complete without Matthew McConaughey, whose films "Killer Joe" and "Magic Mike" were both impressive.
Bringing an end to the work week with a cinema supporting public outing, Robert Pattinson was among those attending an "Arbitrage" luncheon in Los Angeles, CA on Friday (November 30).
Looking a bit more filled out than usual, the "Twilight Saga" heartthrob joined alongside "Pretty Woman" actor Richard Gere for food and conversation at the Osteria Mozza held midday fete.
The Beverly Hilton was brimming over with A-list celebrities as the 16th Annual Hollywood Film Awards came to town last night (October 22).
Gorgeous gals like Marion Cotillard, Amy Adams, Bella Heathcote, and Nancy O'Dell got all gussied up for the swanky affair and worked their mojo for the shutterbugs.
Teaming up for another promotional spectacle, George Clooney and Ben Affleck were front and center at a New York City screening of their new film "Argo" on Tuesday night (October 9).
Held at the Time Warner Screening Room, the "Ocean's Eleven" dreamboat acted as lead producer on the flick while the "Good Will Hunting" hunk directed and starred in the drama/thriller.

"The moment I knew Casey was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with was about six weeks into our relationship. We got into his car and the local Christian radio turned on immediately. He didn't even flinch to turn the station, he just hummed along."
We were both 22 at that point, and meeting a guy who was not afraid to be open and honest about his faith was such an attractive trait. It was easy to be around each other because we were both on the same page. Neither of us had to hide our passion for Christ, the excitement of trying out the new local beer, or our competitive nature. Our love of being outdoors, active, and sports was also a huge contributor to us spending countless hours together. We were perfect for each other in every way.
Over the next two years we spent a lot of time together; meeting each other's families and learning all those little idiosyncrasies about one another. When Casey told me about his interest in joining the Coast Guard, I was shocked. A mix of emotions came over me, but I knew this is what he had always wanted to do and that he would be perfect at it. Going through the process of enlisting was a long and testing time for us. With his boot camp date fast approaching, we decided we wanted to experience this journey together. Casey got down on one knee on November 26, 2013, and asked me to marry him! Soon after our wedding, I will be going on a two and a half month mission trip while Casey is at boot camp. We are both following our dreams, and having each other's love and support is such a wonderful feeling. God blessed us both after we put our faith in Him and gave up control. We will continue to praise Him and are excited to see what He has in store for us.

Windows 7 is certainly pretty, and Aero makes those open desktop windows look even better. But all that pretty takes up computing resources.
If you've installed Windows 7 on an older machine, or if you just want your computer to run more efficiently, there are two ways that you can reduce your graphics features. If you combine these methods, you can free up your graphics card to work faster in applications or games.
To deactivate Aero on your desktop, right-click anywhere on the desktop, and then left-click Personalize in the resulting menu.
The Personalization menu contains the various graphics themes you can use on your desktop windows. The default Windows scheme uses Aero, which includes features like translucent window frames. If you want your system to run a bit more efficiently, select the Windows 7 Basic theme, or any of the Windows Classic or High Contrast themes. This will reduce the work your graphics card has to do to run your desktop.
If you want to reduce other graphics features and speed things up even more, you can edit your visual effect in the System Properties menu.
Right-click on the Computer icon and left-click Properties. This will take you to the System Properties menu.
In the task menu on the left, left-click Advanced system settings.
Under the Advanced tab of the resulting menu, find the section marked Performance. Left-click the Settings button to the right of this section.
By default, your visual effects will be set to let Windows choose the best settings. You can experiment with these settings as you wish by clicking Apply each time you change
Some of the bigger resource-hogging effects include fading out menus, animating windows and controls, and visual styles on windows and buttons. Other features, like smoothing screen fonts, are helpful enough (for your eyes especially!) that it's a good idea to leave them on. A good custom setting may look like this:
Once you have selected the desired settings, click OK to finish. Your desktop and windows may not look as pretty anymore, but for XP users the difference is hard to notice – and your computer will definitely run faster!

A fresco by Edwin Boyd Johnson
June 1935
The Treasury Section of Fine Arts announces a competition to design and paint a nine foot wide by four foot, six inch high mural for the Melrose Park Post Office.
January 1937
Artist Edwin Boyd Johnson is selected as the winner with his entry entitled Airmail. According to the artist, Airmail is "Symbolic of air mail . . . and is a composite design of buildings typical of the town [Melrose Park]. The sun, moon and stars are symbolic of the continuous day and night air mail service."
May 1937
Airmail is installed (at a cost of $650.00) above the postmaster's office in the Melrose Park Post Office at 801 N. Broadway.
November 1966
The post office at 801 N. Broadway is replaced by a new facility on 25th Avenue.
March 1969
The General Services Administration officially declares the old post office on Broadway as surplus property.
October 1969
The Village of Melrose Park purchases the abandoned post office for conversion into the town's new library.
October 1971
The conversion of the old post office is complete and the new library is dedicated.
April 1972
As no trace of the mural can be found, the GSA declares Airmail to have been destroyed during the renovation process.
April 2007
Former resident Richard Grunt inquires about the disposition of Airmail, leading to the mural's re-discovery above the circulation desk, hidden by a drop ceiling.
August 2007
Mayor Ron Serpico kicks off our restoration fundraising with a $5,000 donation.
September 2009
The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation gives the library a $10,000 matching grant (on top of a $5,000 grant in October, 2008) and Mayor Serpico donates an additional $2,000 to complete our fundraising.
October 2009
Parma Conservation removes the remnants of Airmail for restoration at their facility in Chicago.
October 2009– April 2010
Restoration of the fresco takes approximately five months.
April 2010
In April 2010, the fully restored fresco Airmail is officially unveiled in the Melrose Park Historical Center.
November 2012
The fresco Airmail is moved to the front of the library in the Kiddieland room.
The Melrose Park Public Library would like to acknowledge the generous support of the following organizations and individuals for their contributions to restoring this community treasure.
The Richard H. Driehaus Foundation

Sorinao strikes out swinging. 4 Ks .
Sorinao strikes out swinging. 4 Ks .
1st pick of the 2022 baseball amateur draft
Bailey struck out Soriano with gas. I don't know if Homer's had a better fastball this year.
Now two outs.
Castro flies out to center.
Bailey is at 90 pitches.
"You only have to bat a thousand in two things; flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4-for-5."
-Beano Cook
Clevenger grounds out to short. 3-0 Reds after 7.
Don't you miss Harry Carey?
"Okay you guys, pair up in threes!" --Yogi Berra
Great start by Homer.
"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."
Astros had a few runners on in the 7th and again fail to score. 3-0 Cards mid 7th.
At 3-0 I leave Homer in.
At 5-0 maybe I take him out.
At 4-0 I'm undecided.

His bundle electrographyHis bundle electrogram; HBE; His bundle recording; Electrogram - His bundle
His bundle electrography is a test that measures electrical activity in a part of the heart that carries the signals that control the time between heartbeats (contractions).
How the Test is Performed
The bundle of His is a group of fibers that carry electrical impulses through the center of the heart. If these signals are blocked, you will have problems with your heartbeat.
The His bundle electrography is part of an electrophysiology (EP) study. You are given a mild sedative before the test. An intravenous catheter (IV line) is inserted into your arm so that you can be given medicines during the test.
Electrocardiogram (ECG) leads are placed on your arms and legs. Your arm, neck, or groin will be cleaned and numbed with a local anesthetic. After the area is numb, the cardiologist makes a small cut in a vein and inserts a thin tube called a catheter inside.
The catheter is carefully moved through the vein up into the heart. An x-ray method called fluoroscopy helps guide the doctor to the right place. During the test, your heartbeat is watched for any arrhythmias. The catheter has a sensor on the end, which is used to measure the electrical activity of the bundle of His.
How to Prepare for the Test
You will be told not to eat or drink anything for 6 to 8 hours before the test. The test will be done in a hospital. Some patients may need to check into the hospital the night before the test. Otherwise, you check in the morning of the test.
Your health care provider will explain the procedure and its risks. You must sign a consent form before the test starts.
About half an hour before the procedure, you will be given a mild sedative to help you relax. You will wear a hospital gown. The procedure may last from 1 to several hours.
How the Test Will Feel
You are awake during the test. You may feel some discomfort when the IV is placed into your arm, and some pressure at the site when the catheter is inserted.
Why the Test is Performed
This test may be done to:
- Determine if you need a pacemaker or other treatment
- Diagnose arrhythmias
- Find the specific location where electrical signals through the heart are blocked
Normal Results
The time between electrical signals from the bundle of His are evenly spaced.
What Abnormal Results Mean
A pacemaker will be needed if the test results are abnormal.
Abnormal results may mean you have or had:
- Chronic conduction system disease
- Carotid sinus pressure
- Recent heart attack
- Atrial disease
Risks of the procedure include:
- Arrhythmias
- Cardiac tamponade
- Embolism from blood clots at the tip of the catheter
- Heart attack
- Hemorrhage
- Infection
- Injury to the vein or artery
- Low blood pressure
- Stroke

text: A wide receiver? Another skill player? Where is the need for Terrance Williams when you have Dez Bryant, Miles Austin and Dwayne Harris? Let me tell you this, Terrance Williams fills a big need and was an absolute steal in the third round for the Dallas Cowboys. For the last two years, I complained that the Cowboys have lacked two things from their receiving corps: They lacked another outside wide receiver to pair with Dez Bryant and they didn't have a deep threat with speed who could take the top off the defense. On Friday, the accomplished both by selecting Baylor WR Terrance Williams in the third round. Williams really came into his own in 2011 with Robert Griffin III as his quarterback. That season he hauled in 59 receptions for 957 yards and 11 touchdowns. But what was even more impressive was after RGIII left in 2012, Williams elevated his play and became one of the premier players in college football. In 2012, he led the nation in receiving yards, piling up 1,832 yards on 97 catches to go along with 12 touchdowns. As a prospect, I believe he falls somewhere between last year's first round pick from Baylor, Kendall Wright and the 2012 second round supplemental draft pick Josh Gordon of the Cleveland Browns. Read the rest at http://thelandryhat.com/2013/04/28/dallas-cowboys-steal-terrance-williams-in-third-round/
