It is becoming something of a cliche here to say the mood at this year's Davos is so depressing that it is feeding the recession, rather than building a consensus on how we escape from our predicament. CEOs who arrived a little anxious about their prospects are now very worried. Those who arrived worried are now deeply depressed. Those who arrived depressed may not go home at all.
I began to wonder if this Spenglerian gloom was a financial sector phenomenon. Two invitations to talk to the automotive sector, and the Tourism and Travel group, gave me an opportunity to test that hypothesis. Sadly, it quickly folded.

VARIETY has been the spice of life for Diana Fawkes, celebrating her 100th birthday.
Perhaps that should be the life of spies, as she worked as a wartime secretary at MI5, the domestic secret service.
Mrs Fawkes, of Park Lane, Twyford, turned 100-years-old on January 27 but chose to have her cake and balloons a few days later with her granddaughter, great-granddaughter and carers.
Known as 'Possum' after climbing trees as a child, she had been born in Kensington to Mary and Graham Weir.
"I was a secretary at the war office at MI5," she said. "We were at Compton for 15 years where my husband was rector at Compton and Shawford. When he retired we moved here in 1958."
She was one of four children alongside brothers John and Nigel and sister Anna.
Mrs Fawkes has two children, Caroline and Nigel, with her late husband George, whom she married in 1942.
Her granddaughter, Jojo Grebert, who is one of four grandchildren with George, Jon and Richard, made a special birthday breakfast of toast and homemade marmalade for her grandmother accompanied by her two-year-old daughter Tamsin.
Mrs Fawkes is also great-grandmother to Tamsin's older brother, Roscoe.
Jojo said: "She had her card from the Queen on Monday and has been sent so many cards from lots of different people. I remember coming to this house when we were children and we'd spend hours getting lost in the huge garden. We've all got so many wonderful memories of her here."
Her regular Bluebird carers, Zoe Morgan and Rosemary Pike, have been coming to Mrs Fawkes's house since last June. Claire Murphy, owner of Bluebird care, said: "It's so lovely that she's been able to celebrate such an achievement at her own home."
Mrs Fawkes said: "I suppose I feel a bit older but it's not really that different."

Exclusive: Emma Mulholland AW13 Lookbook
Spaced Out.
A little while ago we got to go behind-the-scenes on Emma Mulholland's AW13 lookbook shoot, and now the quality of our lives have been improved even further with the arrival of the final shots.
The 'Spaced Out' collection was inspired by aliens and Ancient Egypt, featuring holograms, metallics, sequins and shiny brocade. Emma has been living in Bali, the influence of which also comes through in friendship bracelet backpacks, batik and tie dye (not present: hair braids and henna tattoos). A few different alien prints carry throughout the collection, which look like they could've been inspired by Hot Tuna board shorts circa 1994 (this is a good thing), while stand out pieces include the pyramid-embroidered varsity jacket and the 'Abducted Scarab' dress which features ornate, extraterrestrial beading. Take us to your leader.
See the lookbook above starring Anja Konstantinova and Matt Saville, shot by Byron Spencer (who we recently interviewed) and styled by Pauly Bonomelli.

It's hard to watch Microsoft's pathetic response to the firestorm of criticism that's rained down on Windows 8 in big part because it's been so, well, pathetic.
InfoWorld didn't want to just cross our fingers and hope Windows 8.1 ("Windows Blue") would fix what was wrong -- it was pretty clear it wouldn't. Instead, we drafted our own plan to fix Windows 8: Windows Red.
We're now waiting on the release of the second update to Windows 8 -- aka Windows 8.1 Update 1 -- and from everything we've heard, it's no better than the last one. All of the most urgent problems with Windows 8 remain, a strong hint that we'll have to wait until at least Windows 9 comes along to see any of them addressed in a significant manner.
To demonstrate the full extent of Microsoft's apparent tone deafness, here's a rundown of all the major changes suggested for Windows Red -- changes designed to directly address the major complaints people have had with Windows 8 -- and whether or not Windows 8.1 Update 1 includes it, or in what form.
|Suggested Windows Red feature
|Does Windows 8.1 Update 1 have it?
|Discrete editions of Windows for PC and mobile
|Windowed Metro apps on the Desktop
|Boot to Desktop
|Restoration of the classic Start menu
|Use Metro live tiles on Desktop
|Windows Phone's People app
|Charms bar removed
|No, but Power and Search buttons appear to be relocated for easier access
|Embedded Share widget in apps
|Consistent Control Panel redesign
|Revamped Snap View for Metro
|Sort of; you can control splits and minimize Metro apps
This isn't even about replicating the feature set of Windows Red in Windows. It's about how there's no discernible work being done to address most of the major, chronic problems freely admitted to be afflicting Windows of late.
Some of these requests were, admittedly, too pie-in-the-sky to be included in a minor revision for Windows. For example, we likely won't see separate SKUs so that Windows is marketed in discrete mobile, tablet, and desktop editions except in a full point release. But the other feature changes hardly seem like items you'd need to wait for the next product cycle to enjoy.
About the only smart move Microsoft has made with Windows 8.1 Update 1 is to include the ability to boot straight to the Windows Desktop -- by some reports, making that the default behavior. Another addition which wasn't even on our list is better support for high-DPI devices. It's a nice tip of the hat to people using 4K displays. However, does that really constitute more of a hotly demanded feature than, say, a sane approach to the handling of Metro apps or the return of the classic, unobtrusive Start menu? (You'll still need to install third-party software to get those features.)
You know Windows 8 is in trouble when even one of its most stalwart defenders, Paul Thurrott, pulls an about-face and declares Windows 8 "a disaster in every sense of the word," a "design by committee" product. "It's time to double-down on the people who actually use your products," he wrote, "not some mythical group of consumers who will never stop using their simpler Android and iOS devices just because you wish they would."
Windows Red was put together with the notion that Windows could indeed satisfy its desktop, notebook, and tablet users without compromise. Unless Microsoft is simply saving all of its ammunition for the next revision to the left of the decimal point -- I'm really hoping that's the case -- the evidence that the company believes anything like that, too, is still scant.

Previous spotlight: Chancellor Rogers
Chancellor Brian Rogers selected to permanently fill UAF Chancellor position
University of Alaska President Mark Hamilton today announced that Brian Rogers will serve as permanent chancellor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
"Brian is the right person for this position," Hamilton said. "And this is the right time to appoint him. I cannot justify an expensive, lengthy national search involving multiple candidates that would, I'm convinced, lead me to the person I have on the job right now."
Hamilton said he made the decision after consulting with the UA Board of Regents and meeting with students, community members, elected officials, business leaders, staff and faculty members, and alumni. All have shown tremendous support for Rogers. He said Rogers has proven that he has the skills necessary to lead the complex research and teaching institution.
"UAF has a talented faculty, a diverse community of students, hard-working staff and dedicated alumni. I'm honored to serve as permanent chancellor," Rogers said. "My goal is to build on our strengths to make UAF the most student- and community-friendly institution we can be, while still maintaining our tremendous presence in arctic research, a quality education and solid workforce training."

How to Keep Up Your Self-Esteem While Job Searching
The job market may be tight, but you can be a winner.
-Dr. Anne K. Gross
You buy a new suit. You sprinkle your resume with flavorful verbs. You wake up every morning with a renewed sense of optimism. But the phone never rings, the suit stays hanging in your closet, and you end each day with a feeling of failure. You're looking for a job, and no matter how hard you try, you can't keep up your sense of self-esteem.
In search of help, you Google self-esteem and job search. Article after article admonishes you to think positive thoughts, to "surround yourself with positive people." Expert after expert warns you that the worst thing you can do is let your positivity wane, for nothing decreases your possibility of success more than a deflated self-image. You now feel worse, for not only do you blame yourself for not landing that perfect position, but you add insult to injury by berating yourself for feeling down.
Don't worry; you are not alone. Most of us have difficulty maintaining a cheery attitude, especially in this competitive market. (A word of advice: don't believe those who categorically say otherwise.) So what are you supposed to do? Read on for five easy-to-use tips for maintaining your self-esteem while pounding the pavement for that perfect job.
Tip # 1: Don't blame yourself
As long as you are working consistently to find employment, don't fall into the trap that if you're not successful, you have only yourself to blame. People are quick to tell us that if we just tried hard enough, we could achieve anything, but that is not always true. If their words of encouragement aren't helping you, let them know what you need most from them. Perhaps you want them to understand how hard you are working, that the best way for you to deal with your frustration is to let it out from time to time, and you need for them to believe in you, that your inability to land a job doesn't mean that you don't have valuable skills.
Read Bringing Shame Out of the Closet
Tip # 2: Taking a realistic approach can help too
It's hard to keep up your positive feelings when you apply for your dream job, only to find out that you are competing with over a hundred other qualified applicants. Being positive seems unrealistic, so why not acknowledge that your chances of landing the job are small. Such an attitude can help you let go of your anxiety and excessive ruminations, allowing you to take some risks. For example, a friend of mine, who felt she had nothing to lose by acting outside of the box, included in her application a mock newspaper article she had crafted, detailing her future accomplishments should she land the job. And they hired her.
Tip #3: Surround yourself with others in your predicament
Nothing helps you feel like you're not alone than by being around other people who are struggling with the same issues. Meeting regularly with others will not only help you increase your network (more on that later), but lend reassurance that there is nothing wrong with you, and that you are not to blame for your difficulties.
Tip # 4: Create job searching experiences that boost your self-esteem
Don't just rely on internet searches and job postings to find a job. Instead, ask everybody you know, even if they are in a slightly different line of work, to meet with you. The purpose is not to ask them for a job, but to ask them what their company does, what their responsibilities are, and the skills that helped land them their position. Then segue into talking about yourself. You'd be surprised how many people might know of somebody who you could talk to, either in their company or another organization. And even if you don't come away with any leads, practicing talking about yourself to others, and getting their feedback, increases your self-esteem and prepares you for your "real" job interviews. Moreover, research shows that approximately 70% of jobs come from networking, as opposed to advertised listings.
Be sure to write your friend a thank you note that day. And check to see if you can add them to your network on LinkedIn, a very useful tool in finding a job. Which leads me to the next point. . .
Tip # 5: Be proactive.
Rather than passively wait for others to respond to you, research organizations to find ones that work for you. Then find out who in that company has the authority to hire you. Although it is unlikely that you know that person, chances are someone in your network might. Search for the person's profile on LinkedIn, and see which of your contacts are connected to her. Armed with that information, you can ask your contact for an introduction.

Fortissimo sells Grandmaster to Korea's CJ
EXCLUSIVE: Fortissimo Films has sold Wong Kar Wai's Berlinale opener The Grandmaster to Korea's CJ E&M.
The deal for the Jet Tone Films production was negotiated by Fortissimo chairman Michael J. Werner and CJ E&M Pictures' distribution senior manager Josh Lee.
Fortissimo is handling select territories retained by Wong's Jet Tone production outfit on the film, including Japan, where Gaga Corporation will release it in May, and India where discussions are currently underway. Werner served as associate producer and consultant on the film.
CJ E&M, Korea's leading distributor by market share, is planning a major, cross-circuit release for the film in May.
"We are very confident Korean audiences will respond to the fantastic action and achingly beautiful imagery that is seen throughout the film in a way like no other film has before," said CJ's Lee.
Wong Kar Wai said: "It was clear to me that [CJ E&M's] passion for my work, combined with their cinema and distribution resources and their marketing flair, ensures that my film will be well seen by Korean audiences."
The Grandmaster is currently on release in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, where it has smashed box office records for previous Wong Kai Wai films. In mainland China, the film has so far grossed $45m.

|Djembefola - Djembe Forum
|michi [ Tue Mar 30, 2010 4:19 am ]
|Blog Subject:
|Why the djembe matters to me (Part 1)
I've been thinking of writing down this story for about three years. Both for my own sake, because I think it is useful to reflect on the past, but also because I think other people might find something here that will touch them. This is a very personal account of why the djembe matters to me and why I continue to pursue Mandingue music. Mine is only one story out of thousands; the djembe has many ways to teach what people need to learn…
My name is Michi, and I live in Brisbane, Australia. I'm 50 years old now, and I've been drumming for six years—with a passion. The way I found the djembe is tied up with my upbringing and life as an adult, and with my journey from music to science and back.
Music and the performing arts were a big part of my early life. I was born and raised in Germany as the son of a professional musician. I grew up literally swimming in music and was recognised as musically gifted from an early age. I played harmonica by the time I was three, picked out simple tunes on the piano when I was four, and started learning recorder when I was six. My first serious instrument was the guitar, which I started learning when I was seven. At thirteen, I joined my first rock band and then spent the next ten years living and breathing music, playing guitar, singing, and performing with various bands. Pretty much the only time someone would find me not holding a guitar during those years was when I was asleep… As a teenager, I also was a professional TV and movie actor. I composed a rock opera when I was sixteen (which was performed quite a few times in Munich), and I founded a choir and conducted it for seven years until late 1983. In the early eighties, I participated in a number of professional theatre productions as an actor and singer, and sang as part of a choir for a band that blended rock and renaissance music. (There is even an LP from that period ) The first twenty-odd years of my life, I was well and truly steeped in music.
By 1981, I was a fairly accomplished singer and guitarist and quite well known in the local music scene; I was considering studying singing and guitar at the Munich Conservatorium after auditioning there and getting encouraging feedback from a professor. My father was dismayed when I told him that I was considering a music degree. He'd always said "Michi, you can become anything you like but, please, not a musician." Looking back, I can see why: our family suffered seriously at times because my father was on tour for much of my early life, playing in Kurt Edelhagen's big band (among others) all over Europe. And, for part of my teenage years, I didn't see my father all that much either because he was performing most days of the week until the early hours of the morning…
Before getting a degree, I had always planned to do a long overseas trip so, in 1982, I went to Australia and travelled for six months all over the continent. Within a few days of arriving, I knew that this was the country I wanted to live in. When I returned to Germany, I started the application process to migrate to Australia. Apart from music, my other interest always had been the sciences. I loved chemistry and electronics, and I figured that if I wanted to make it in Australia, I had better be something other than a tenor. So, I followed my other passion and decided to study computer science. I settled in Australia in January 1984, arriving with a backpack of possessions and entering University of Queensland six weeks later.
Having broken with my past pretty much completely, I was determined to succeed in Australia. I took my studies very seriously and, because I was as poor as a church mouse, ended up working long hours on top of my studies, doing anything from driving cabs to cooking pizzas at an Italian restaurant to teaching mathematics to high school students. With all that going on, there was no time left for music. I used to play guitar 15-20 hours per week; within a year of my arrival, that had dropped to zero. Studying and earning enough money to pay the bills took priority, and failure was not an option. So, instead, I studied and worked with a vengeance, graduating in 1987 with first class honours, topping the year and winning a number of university prizes. (I continued to listen to music with keen interest all my life, but never returned to playing guitar.)
I spent the next fifteen years building a very successful career as a software engineer. I wrote a book about distributed computing, spoke at dozens of international conferences as a keynote speaker, was chief scientist for a large and successful company, and basically built my career and fame. By 2002, I had outwardly achieved everything I could have possibly dreamed of. Having started with a backpack and no money, I was married to a beautiful wife, had a son I was proud of, was moderately wealthy, had a big house, a sports car, professional success, and was internationally recognised as an expert in my field. I'd also worked 70-hour weeks for fifteen years, was travelling overseas for around three months each year, spent much of my life living on airplanes and in nondescript sterile hotels and, despite all my success, my life was empty and I was depressed as all hell.
Then, in late 2002, something happened that was life-changing for me. My son was 13 years old at the time, and a family friend suggested that I should take him to something called "Pathways to Manhood". This is an event run by an organisation dedicated to helping young people make the fundamental emotional shift from being a child to becoming a young adult. A bunch of fathers and their sons go into the Australian bush for a week, accompanied by a few facilitators, and conduct men's business, culminating in a modern initiation rite for the boys. This was a very intense week, both for the sons and the fathers. A lot of time was spent exploring truly deep and fundamental issues about responsibility, sexuality, emotion, what it means to be a man, what it means to have successes and failures, and more. Emotionally, it was a roller coaster ride, and we experienced pretty much every part of the spectrum: joy, happiness, love, grief, anger, contentment, and everything else in between.
I took my son to this initiation with the intent of doing something for him and the other boys, teaching him about the deep issues that surround the transition into adulthood. The experience was beautiful and deeply important for both of us, and I believe that this was probably the most significant single thing I have ever done for my son. As it turned out, I had gone there to teach, but found that I had far more to learn than I had to teach…
Looking at the other fathers at the event, I realised that these men were very different from me. Some fathers had had failed marriages, some had struggled with drug problems in the past, some had a criminal record, some had been abused as children, and some were under serious financial pressure. Outwardly, with all my trappings of wealth and success, I had none of these problems. Yet, some of the men around me had something I lacked: a source of inner strength, peace, and balance that I could not find in myself. I walked away from the event realising that there might be ways to live my life differently, ways that didn't depend on conventional measures of success. Trying to learn more, I got in touch with the men's movement, attended a number of workshops on personal development, and started dealing with some of my own issues. Looking back, I now recognise this as my mid-life crisis: I had finally reached the point in life where I had to make some changes and find new meaning; either that, or perish.
Enter the djembe…

Wow. It's surreal reading about a person going to the very same degree I went to, only 19 years earlier! Loved reading your account of how the djembe has changed your life and it has even sparked in me some thoughts of leaving the software trade too...
|michi [ Sat Feb 05, 2011 8:11 am ]
Thanks! I'm sure that there are many stories like this. It's just that people don't write them down all that often.

You would think in a game where things are anonymous and nobody knows who you are, you can avoid awkward moments right?
This last week, I feel like my life is full of situations that make me squirm. Of things I said which maybe I should have thought a little bit more before I said them. Things which people say which make ME feel awkward. Sorting out difficulty social and guild situations which make me feel awkward.
Maybe I can try the "I heard this story about a friend who..." intro but I think I'll just go with the anonymous route. Maybe that will avoid more awkward, but those who are involved will obviously know who they are.
I was in our server's resto druid channel, which contains a mixture of raiding druids whom, from what I can tell, are from raiding horde guilds on the server. Obviously quite selective because not every raiding druid was in the channel. And no druids from the top 4 guilds are in that channel because... well, because they're probably too cool to be in the channel.
One of the druids is in a casual guild, and was lamenting the fact that he couldn't get his guild to get organised to raid. A druid from a more progressive guild started to tell him that you need to kick out the underperformers and recruit new raiders. I
opened my mouth went to type in the channel that you don't really do that in a casual guild, and they said "Why not? You can't have people dragging down your raid." The hardcore druid said essentilly, do you want to progress? Then you need to get rid of the trash. It wasn't quite in those words, but it was the sentiment that I felt was being conveyed. The casual druid sighed, wishing that they could get their team to perform better, and I wondered if the casual guild was the right guild for them.
"But it's a family friendly guild, you can't hurt people's feelings," I said.
"Who cares? Don't play like a retard."
"But it's a casual guild..."
"Just because you're casual doesn't mean you have to play like a noob."
"But maybe it's because they're a social guild rather than a casual one..."
I had to stop because I'm making an idiot out of myself. I'll never be able to explain to a hard core what a friendly social guild is like! A social guild, I think of the motto "Leave no man behind". To me that is the core, the essence of a casual, family oriented guild that wants to raid. A bunch of friends that want to play together and help each other get that kill. This ideal is very opposed to the raiding guild motto "Go big or go home". Which is basically, bring your best, and if your best isn't good enough you can go home and play with your action figurines. Maybe I shouldn't have said those things to the hardcore druid. Now he thinks you're a real nitwit Navi. Nice one. Awkward.
I feel bad for a guildie because they wanted to raid but didn't really make a huge effort to try to get back into a raid team. Getting into a raid group is a bit like trying to get a job!
- Dress for success - working on your dailies to get the good gear, running dungeons to get heroic gear, having the crafted stuff made. Now you look like you're serious about raiding. Much more than that guy in greens who hasn't made the effort to enchant his gloves...
- Look interested in raiding - Reading up strats and fights always makes you look like a keen bean.
- Make sure people know you're interested - the person who speaks to the guild leader about being interested in a raid spot and saying which time suits them better is more likely to get one than the guy who just sits back and expects a raid spot but doesn't bother to reply by the raid deadline.
- Showing up as a reserve - the guy who keeps turning up as a reserve for a raid spot is more likely to get subbed in when we're short.
So with the tank/heals shortage this week, I thought maybe this person could play, but probably, there isn't a spot for them anyhow. Someone had offered once in a while to sit out for them to play so I pulled that card out and asked him if they could come on Wednesday. One of the other tanks can't go to the other group because they made other plans, so I am guessing that two other reserve guildies will be healing or tanking. Either way it seems like it will be ok. But the sitting out guildie doesn't want to take a spot from other raiding guildies, and would rather sit out and pout about it. It's so awkward when I'm raiding and my friends aren't. Sigh. I can't sit out to keep my friends company because I'll let the team down! AWKWARD!!!
I waved a stranger the other day who was pet battling next to me, and they sent me a tell later wondering if I was the alt of someone they knew. I said they didn't know me I was just being friendly - but they did know people from my guild. We had a nice chat about pet battles and then the conversation progressed to say they knew others in my guild from being together in another guild, and started to say very uncomplimentary things about the other guild. I had to refrain from replying and tried to turn the subject, but they continued for a bit until I said that those people were friends of mine. Uncomfortable silence. AWKWARD!
Ever tried telling someone they weren't good at something? But they still don't get it? And everyone is talking about it? What if they're trying their best and it's still not good enough? How do you tell them nicely "You suck?" Nobody wants to hurt other people's feelings! How about if they know they suck but are embarrassed about it... what do you do then? So when someone asks you "How did I do?" you say.... ummm... yeah. Awkward!
Umm... I have too many to list here that pop into this category. Like telling one of my single, male, childless guildies about the toilet habits of my toddler, when I was supposed to be talking to another mother. Or when I was commenting about how attractive another female was, and sent the tell to her instead of one of the guys. Or when I was trying to send healing meters in a tell to a guildie and sent that instead to one of my blog buddies. Bleh!
And this had to top off my awkward week. I was googling for pictures to stick on this post, and I saw this one and so did my daughter. She asked me to click on it and I said no, we're not clicking on that, but she did it anyway. And she said it's just like the old grandma dinosaur in that movie we watched last night...
And holy crap. It really was a dinosaur, caption and all. I couldn't stop laughing and my daughter asked why. It would have been too difficult to explain. OMG I AM FILTHY.
Come on. Share with me your most awkward moment.

What a brave girl you are Bevin! My daughter is now 15 and she was diagnosed with JRA/JIA 18 months ago. I was looking around on the PINTEREST website and saw your blog. I am so grateful to have found you. Since my daughters diagnosis, we have felt alone and a little lost as to where to turn for support here in Utah. Nicole, I have the same worries and concerns that you do. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Today we don't feel so alone anymore.ReplyDelete
Bless her heart. My son is 13 and was just diagnosed about 2 months ago. I am hoping that it gets a little easier as far as the shots--- right now we are in a hard place. Last week he had injections in his ankles, hips and knees. We don't really see any vast improvement yet.ReplyDelete
Your daughter is a dollbaby!!!!

Your gift to help a hardworking entrepreneur will double in impact thanks to a generous World Vision partner.
Emilia is from Mexico. She has 3 children. She needs a loan of $625 to purchase material such as threads, wool and calico.
Emilia is from Mexico. She has 3 children. She needs a loan of $625 to purchase material such as threads, wool and calico.
Mrs. Emilia has made tablecloths and napkins for 20 years. She decided to start this business to help support her husband with some of the family's expenses. Her mother taught her to embroider when she was 12 years old.
She will invest the loan in the purchase of more material such as as thread, wool and calico.
The loan will help her support her family and to give them a good quality of life and a better economic solvency. She also wants to save to buy a stove.
Her long term goal is to invest more and more in her business to extend it. She wants to someday run an artisan clothes shop to get an additional income to assure the ability to pay for her children's education.
Mrs. Emilia Pedro Silvestre is 36 years old. She is married to Juan. Together they have 5 children, the oldest of which is married.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% of our loans.
The small community of Rio Santa Catarina, which derives its name from a local river, has a mountainous terrain and warm climate. Economic opportunities in this community are diverse as a result of its close proximity to the growing city of Ometepec.
In Rio Santa Catarina, World Vision is assisting farmers with production and marketing; educating families on disaster preparedness; and working to improve education through tutoring and teacher training. We are also providing healthcare services, nutritional training, and housing assistance.
Thank you for supporting a small business loan for Emilia Pedro Silvestre to expand her manufacturing business where she embroiders tablecloths and napkins.
After receiving the loan from World Vision, she invested the $625 to purchase material such as threads, wool and calico. Emilia has been repaying her loan on time with her new profits. She makes weekly payments of $14.
In addition to repaying her loan, Emilia is using her additional income to purchase food for her family, buy supplies in bulk, and pay for transportation. Emilia's 3 children continue to study in school.
Thank you for supporting Emilia and World Vision Micro!
Thank you for supporting the small loan for Emilia Pedro Silvestre to improve her embroidery/sewing business. She invested her loan of $625 to purchase material such as thread, wool and calico.
Emilia has now repaid her loan in full. In addition to repaying her loan, Emilia has used her additional income to purchase food for her family and buy supplies in bulk.
Emilia's five children continue to study in school.
The loan Emilia received helped her business expand and the profits she is earning is creating lasting improvements in her life. In the future Emilia hopes to expand her current business and take out another loan.
Thank you for your support of Emilia and World Vision Micro. These funds are now being recycled to support another eager entrepreneur in the same community.

Safire 1984 quotes a correspondent who uses the spelling dassent and another who wonders if it shouldn't have been dassn't. This contractoin - from dares not, apparently - was common in the 19th century and the early 20th (theDictionary of Amerian Regional English shows many spellings) and was used for dares not, dare not and dared not. The spelling variations are presumably intended to approximate speech. Dassent as a spelling is neither the most frequent nor the rarest:
... I whipped Ed Walker twice, Saturday. I don't like girls. You dassen't catch toads unless with a string..." - O. Henry, "The Ransom of Red Chief," 1907
Dassn't (now the commonest form) and its variations are basically dialectal but, as te use by a correspondent of Safire's suggests, are among those countrified terms trotted out for effect in otherwise straightforward writing.
Like those beetles on the waterpond, you can bend the surface tension film but you dassn't break through - Christopher Morley, The Man Who Made Friends With Himself, 1949
... chortling openly at the things a bigot thinks but dassn't utter - Jack O'Brien, Springfield (Mass.) Union, 1 Dec. 1973
I like dassn't.

A CANNABIS factory thought to be worth around £67,500 has been discovered in an upmarket area of Blackburn.
Police raided the five-bedroom detached property in Woodgates Road and uncovered 450 plants, as well as cultivation equipment.
The Edwardian house, which has views over Pendle Hill, was last listed for sale in July 2011 for £690,000.
The house which had been rented had been used to grow the drug.
Police said numerous rooms throughout the house, which had a synthetic putting green, had been used for the farm.
They were made aware of the crime after concerned residents reported suspicious activity to them.
They told the neighbourhood policing team that the windows had been blacked out and the curtains had been shut for a long time.
Doors had been removed and sealant put around the windows to ensure ideal growing conditions.
United Utilities were also called to the scene as electricity had been bypassed.
A police spokesman said: "The windows were blacked out and the curtains were closed.
"As a result of an initial call from a member of the public, police attended the address on Saturday.
"There was a professional set up numerous rooms."
- Two men, Gia Pham, 18, and Nhat Nguyen, 25, have been charged with producing cannabis and abstracting electricity.

A Louisiana House committee advanced legislation Wednesday that backers said would fill a void in mental health treatment for children in New Orleans.
Under a substitute bill replacing House Bill 595, Children's Hospital would buy — rather than lease — the old New Orleans Adolescent Hospital.
The bill's sponsor, state Rep. Neil Abramson, said the agreement would bring more inpatient beds, behavioral health care for small children and expanded autism services to New Orleans. "This is a great day for the kids of New Orleans," he said.
The House Committee on Natural Resources advanced the bill without objection despite concerns about the financial mechanics of the agreement.
New Orleans Adolescent Hospital closed in 2009. The hospital offered mental-health services for children and teens. With the closure, patients were sent to other hospitals, including a facility in Mandeville.
The state recently signed a lease agreement that gave Children's access to the shuttered hospital.
At issue was whether Children's would restore mental health services lost when the facility closed.
Abramson, D-New Orleans, filed legislation requiring NOAH's new operator to bring back the previous services. State Rep. Helena Moreno, D-New Orleans, just wanted to give Children's control of the property so it could expand its services.
On Wednesday, Abramson and Moreno presented legislators with a substitute bill that they said represented a compromise.
Children's made a $4 million downpayment on the property. Once a 99-year lease is terminated, another $25 million will be transferred to the state. Children's will receive at least $10 million in state construction dollars for improvements to the hospital.
Abramson said he always was flexible on what services Children's would provide as long as the biggest voids were addressed. Under the compromise, he said, Children's would work toward providing drug and alcohol treatment and long-term inpatient treatment. But Children's would not have to provide those services immediately as long as it adds more pediatric mental health beds, delivers behavioral health care services for children under age 5 and expands autism services, he said.
"This is a really great day for the children, not only in New Orleans but really throughout the state of Louisiana," Moreno said.
She said the compromise should clear up any misconceptions that Children's is not committed to mental health care.
State Rep. Sam Jones, D-Franklin, asked if Children's will be open admission on par with the charity hospitals.
Greg Feirn, chief financial officer of the Louisiana Children's Medical Center, the parent company of Children's Hospital, said he is 100 percent open to that. "Children's, in its history, has never turned away any patient relative to their ability to pay," he said.
Feirn said the hospital treated 60,000 children — from every parish in the state — last year.
He said NOAH is adjacent to Children's Hospital, which is in desperate need of space to expand clinical services.
State Rep. Stephen Ortego, D-Carencro, complained that the state is suffering from the Jindal administration dismantling public health care.
He questioned why the state would sell the hospital instead of leasing it and using the rent payments to attract federal dollars.
Moreno directed him to the governor's Division of Administration. She said the Jindal administration wants to plug the money from Children's into the state budget.
Liz Murrill, attorney for the Division of Administration, told Ortego to keep his focus on the legislation.
"This bill is about this land sale and providing health care in New Orleans," she said.

Sttm - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkI worry the picture quality would look terrible next to my Dell. It has to be TN right? Reply
GameLifter - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkYep, it's TN. Reply
rms141 - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkIt's an 8-bit TN panel. Should have better colors than the typical 6-bit TN panel, though it still won't exactly be IPS level. Reply
GameLifter - Monday, June 02, 2014 - linkI'm excited for this monitor! I have a Dell Ultrasharp and while it's picture quality is stunning, the motion blur kills me some time. Reply
TheMan876 - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkBeen waiting for this thing since CES. Now I just need to get an nVidia card... >_< Reply
The Von Matrices - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkIf NVidia gets G-Sync working with Surround monitors, then ASUS will have my business. I would definitely like to upgrade from 1920x1080@60Hz. Reply
landerf - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkFor $800 I would hope for something more innovative, like doing this with IPS, but I guess it's a bit much to expect them to R&D the circuitry that can drive it. FYI they've found overclocked IPS panels that DON'T frame skip, but they do suffer losses in color details due to a lack of bandwidth. This can be fixed, but nobody seems to think there's a demand for a perfect monitor. Reply
zmhaha - Wednesday, June 04, 2014 - linkEverybody wants a 120hz/144hz on an IPS. But IPS tech itself is too much of a bottleneck for refresh rate. Indeed, there are those Korean IPS panels that could be overclocked to a higher refresh rate(usually around 90hz-110hz), but again, it is overclocked so there are plenty of risks and potential issues, otherwise those manufactures would just do that refresh rate by factory default.
I think every major manufacturers out there are well aware of the demand of a 120hz/144hz IPS. But the only question is: Do the demand outweigh the risk of investment into something like that?
With 4k coming into the mainstream, it seems more people are demanding a higher pixel density rather than a higher refresh rate on one particular type of panel, IPS, that is so hard to do. Reply
zmhaha - Wednesday, June 04, 2014 - linkBtw, the ROG PG278Q is a 27'' 8-bit TN panel G-Sync runs natively at 2560x1440 @ 144hz.
Lets look at the competitors' spec:
Mostly 1080P, Mostly 24'', Mostly 6-bit TN, None has G-Sync, a few 144hz. Reply
DIYEyal - Monday, June 16, 2014 - linkThe korean displays overclock to 120Hz drop frames, I was able to push it to 120Hz because the controller had no problem with it, but it dropped frames because the panel couldn't keep up with it. IPS is just not fast enough.. The highest I could get it to run without this issue was 87Hz and I'm ok with it, Although I'm keeping an eye on that ROG swift, I don't think I would buy it for $800 but if it goes on sale or something I would pick it out (assuming it has a VESA mount)... Reply
Sancus - Thursday, June 05, 2014 - linkJust because there are some cheap overclocked koreans that don't reject the frames entirely, that does NOT make them equivalent to 120hz TN monitors. The reason no one builds legitimate 120hz monitors with those panels is not that it's hard to do the circuitry, it's that they simply are not capable of refreshing their pixels fast enough to display it right. You still end up with around 50% more motion blur than a 120hz TN.
It's still better than 60hz, of course, but as of right now if you want to build a 120hz monitor you cannot use an IPS panel, none exist with fast enough pixel response time. Asus commissioned this panel specifically for this monitor... if they could have just used already available IPS panels it wouldn't be $800, and it also wouldn't be any good :) Reply
Rm-Plx - Sunday, June 08, 2014 - linkI'm probably gonna buy this monitor, but why the need for g sync if the refesh rate goes up to 144hz, i have a samsuhg 27 120hz monitor and there is no screen tearing in it whatsoever, so it seems pointless to include this technology with such a fast refresh rate Reply
toyota - Thursday, June 12, 2014 - linkYes there is still screen tearing on your monitor. Just because you dont notice does not mean it does not happen. Gsync is very much needed for those of us that actually notice tearing and want to use vsync without its side effects. Reply
boombeef - Thursday, July 03, 2014 - linkSince you are going to buy the monitor it might be good to learn about why G-sync is opposite of "pointless". At least watch the product demo video on the nvidia page.

sheh - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - link5-way joystick... how about reintroducing the jog dial navigation used in the past on some Mag and AOC monitors? Quickest way to adjust things. Reply
chizow - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkAny word on 3D Vision support with this panel? I've been very happy with my Asus VG278H (going on over 2 years now), I'll be looking to get one of these if it's 3D Vision compatible. Reply
doggghouse - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkYes, it supports 3D Vision. According to JJ at ASUS, it will be the first monitor capable of running 3D Vision at 1440p (normally it's only supported at 1080p).

Mand - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkYou say that G-Sync "does have its competitors" - where, exactly, are those competitors?
I hope you don't mean FreeSync/A-Sync. Because that doesn't exist, has never been demonstrated, has no hardware partnerships announced, has no product commitments let alone product announcements.
So, what, exactly, is G-Sync's competitor? Because right now, the only one I can think of is a Word document. Reply
anandreader106 - Thursday, June 05, 2014 - linkJust stop.
FreeSync is an optional spec in DisplayPort and many vendors will chose to include the feature in future monitors as early as Q4 this year. It's flat out illogical to think vendors won't include it because it's an additional checkbox for marketing departments to check off. Reply
darkfalz - Thursday, June 05, 2014 - linkAnyone who thinks this will work the same without dedicated sync/framebuffer hardware in the monitor is kidding themselves. Reply
Christobevii3 - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - link$490 monitor becomes $800 with gsync? Wouldn't most people be better off just upgrading their videocard more than $300 on this and running vsync? Reply
afa7336 - Wednesday, June 04, 2014 - linkLets see what you get for your extra money. You get 144 hz 1440p. You get G-Sync. You get USB ports... I'd say thats worth the up in price. Stop complaining. Reply

DarkChaser - Tuesday, June 03, 2014 - linkHas anyone noticed it said this monitor includes ONLY one DP port for video output?
So, there is no legacy mode which can use vga and dvi on 144hz without gsync, then?
$800 and only has one display connection??? Reply
Yakumo.unr - Friday, June 27, 2014 - linkAll g-sync monitors are displayport only atm. G-sync itself requires displayport.
you don't HAVE to have g-sync on, you can still use only vsync on, or off, or nvidia adaptive sync too.
But yes, only one connection option.
It is frustrating for those that own other equipment they would like to swap to with the same screen sometimes :/ Reply
powerwiz - Wednesday, June 04, 2014 - linkFor you bashers of TN monitor's. Read up on Nvidia GSync ...witness in person if you can't make a trade show or store when they hit them on how amazing that is on a monitor. Its one of the biggest breakthroughs to come to the monitor world in quite a while. Reply
k1tty_h4wk - Thursday, June 05, 2014 - linkNo G-Sync in 3D mode. If you buy this product be aware you will not be able to game in 3D with the G-Sync benefits (i.e., stutter/tearing elimination). The 3D Vision glasses are designed to interpret a constant frame rate, and will not work with the variable frame rates G-Sync produces. If you enter 3D Vision, G-Sync will be disabled. Please NVIDIA make a 3D vision update so I can consider buying this monitor! Reply
SlyNine - Friday, June 20, 2014 - linkAnd no one cares.. Okay maybe not no one, but repeating the same statement 5 times in one paragraph does not make a proper paragraph, nor does it make people care more. Reply
darkfalz - Thursday, June 05, 2014 - linkNit-picky maybe but will the LEDs be changable? Don't really dig the red lights... would prefer blue like most other PC equipment. Reply
Asmodian - Monday, June 16, 2014 - linkIt doesn't actually have red LEDs. Those are misleading marketing photos. I don't like the red accents either but at least they don't glow. Reply

But I'm still totally getting this monitor. If you don't mind staying on nVidia for as long as you use the monitor then getting it makes a lot of sense. Reply
SlyNine - Friday, June 20, 2014 - linkYou can still use AMD cards with it... But Gsync wont function. Reply
wintermute000 - Saturday, July 19, 2014 - linkyep, so why spend the premium? Reply
kreido - Sunday, July 06, 2014 - linkThis one will be not 500 euros ... its will cost in europe 1100 euros For Tn ...
ok i will be willing spent 600-800 euros but over grand go fish.. Reply
Madpacket - Tuesday, July 22, 2014 - linkThis is a flawed monitor due to the combination of 27", TN and 1440P. Due the screen resolution you will be forced to sit fairly close to the monitor (3 feet or less) which won't let you escape the vertical viewing angle issue that all TN panels suffer from. Therefore if you don't mind the top or bottom 5th of the screen looking like an ugly colour inverted mess then go ahead and spend $800 dollars. Reply

is there maybe a way to replace grub 1.98 from BackTrack with Grub1.99?
This is a repost as my previous thread didnt seem to go through (been more than 24hours):
I am using BackTrack5 R2 and installed it to a logical partition.
On this system I chainload all partitions from an extlinux boot partition which simply does a "COM32 chain.c32 and APPEND hd0 10" (in similar manner for each of the OS's running on that computer)
While all other Ubuntu installations (Version 11.10) and even non-ubuntu work just fine with this, BackTrack seems to have a problem with this.
The message I get after the chainload to the BackTrack-partition has been done is "Boot sector signature not found (unbootable disk/partition?)"
I have tried fresh installs of the 32 and 64bit variant of BT5 R2 but both have this problem, I have also tried boot-repair (doing a fresh install of grub2, etc.) from a live-cd, also without success.
Boot-repair runs successfully but afterwards you get this in the report:
I have already posted this in the ubuntuforums but as this problem is only with BT I thought I might give it a try here.Code:sda10: _________________________________________________________________________ File system: ext4 Boot sector type: Grub2 (v1.99) Boot sector info: Grub2 (v1.99) is installed in the boot sector of sda10 and looks at sector 1 of the same hard drive for core.img, but core.img can not be found at this location. Operating System: BackTrack 5 R2 - Code Name Revolution 64 bit Boot files: /boot/grub/grub.cfg /etc/fstab /boot/grub/core.img
Here is the link to the thread on ubuntuforums:
The weird thing is, if I activate os-probing on one of the other Ubuntus, it detects BackTrack as Ubuntu and puts it into the menu, booting it from there works fine!
However I don't want to boot from the main menu to one partition only to get the boot menu there (which I would usually disable) and then boot into BackTrack...
Can anyone help me with this problem?
If more info is needed I will gladly provide it if you tell me how and what.
I really tried googling for this problem and searching the forums but was unable to find a solution.
PS: writing a boot sector into the partition from a different OS seems to work fine but it obviously also redirects me to the grub menu of the other OS, it seems that I cannot create a bootable partition with backtrack without also writing into the mbr?
is there maybe a way to replace grub 1.98 from BackTrack with Grub1.99?
can anybody confirm this or anyone found a solution to this?
does someone maybe know how I can replace grub with extlinux on backtrack as it does not seem to be in the repositories...
Would anyone be able to help with this? It still does not work with BackTrack5 R3
I either need a newer version of grub (Oneiric Ocelot and Precise Pangolin run just fine chainloading their grub) or extlinux (the installed syslinux is too old and does not seem to support ext4).

As others see it: Here we go again?
On the heels of the Federal Reserve announcement of a new round of pump priming for the economy came news last week that it may not be needed. Let's hope the Fed is careful to avoid creating rather than solving a problem.
Recently, the Fed announced it will buy $40 billion in mortgage bonds every month, indefinitely, to make home buying "more affordable."
But on Wednesday, the government announced increases in sales of both new homes and previously occupied ones.
The Fed's action may encourage big lenders to take more risks in handing out mortgage loans. Of course, that indeed would give more Americans opportunities to buy homes and perhaps to purchase more expensive ones than they otherwise would have considered.
Sound familiar? It should. For several years, with encouragement from the federal government, big mortgage lenders led by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac handed out tens of billions of dollars in loans to home buyers who could not repay the money. Some members of Congress encouraged loose standards for borrowers. That caused the so-called "subprime mortgage" meltdown in the housing market.
If the Fed persists in its new program, it simply must avoid creating a new mortgage crisis rather than helping the economy.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said today that he expected his poll numbers to drop after the state passed new gun-control measures, explaining that he wasn't elected to "duck the tough issues."
Cuomo's poll numbers today took the first major drop since he took office in 2011. His approval rating fell from 74 percent to 59 percent, with the reason being mainly the gun law that he signed into law Jan. 15.
Cuomo, a potential Democratic candidate for president in 2016, was unfazed.
"We are not here to duck the tough issues. We are here to take on the tough issues," Cuomo told reporters at the Capitol after a meeting with legislative leaders. "I said to my colleagues, they elect us to lead and they elect us to solve the problems that have dogged this state and this society for many, many years."
The state Rifle and Pistol Association yesterday said it is filing a lawsuit against the state over the law, and Cuomo said the lawsuit was also expected. He predicted the law would withstand a court challenge.
Cuomo said that gun owners would be more comfortable with the law once they better understand it and realize the state is not targeting law-abiding gun owners.
"The more that they understand the law and the more they hear about the law, the better they are going to feel because it has nothing to do with the legitimate ownership of a gun," Cuomo continued.
Gun-rights groups have expressed concern that by owning legal guns, such as assault weapons, they will be in violation of the law. Gun owners have a year to register their guns as part of the law's tougher ban on assault weapons.
Cuomo said all that is required is filling out a card to register any assault weapons that are still legal under the law.
"If you have an assault rifle, which we believe is extraordinarily dangerous in the wrong hands, you have it, you own it, you register it if you want to keep it. People register handguns all the time," Cuomo explained.

A9 TV, 24 April 2012
Fine, you can tell jokes, I have no objection to that. But why involve the hereafter? Why involve the angels and sacred things? What need is there? Say they have gone to a place of entertainment and there was a contest there. You can invent the whole thing in that form. Or you can speak of a sporting contest. I am not telling anyone not to tell funny stories or jokes. But your language is such to reduce respect for the angels and the hereafter.
For example, they produce cartoons about angels. With birds flying above their heads and people floating on clouds. Or the demons of hell chasing people around. You can see these in all comics. These are secret propaganda techniques intended to reduce fear and love of Allah. If you laugh at the hereafter, will that laughter save you from it? Will you be spared the pains of hell? When you die, you won't be laughing as you did the. Your nose and mouth will rot away. You will be tearful and terrified and suffer an enormous shock. Your mouth and nose will run into one another. There will be none of the joy, lack of care and shamelessness you exhibited when looking at the cartoons. The blood will freeze in your veins when the angels take you. You cannot do that. You will be unable to do those things when you are forced to kneel in hell. There will be no fun or laughter there. There will be nobody to laugh with, either. Allah says, "I will summon you all alone, one by one." "There will be no friends there to back you up," He says. "There will be no-one to support you in My Presence," He says. "I will remove all your supporters," says Allah. "I will bring you in alone," He says. The questioning takes place one-to-one. There will be no fun, mockery or fooling about then.
You imagine you can avoid the hereafter or overcome your fear of it by laughing at it. That will just make you more guilty, so you will suffer worse torment and pain. You must live and die like a normal Muslim. When you die, your soul will be taken gently, and the angels will show you love and respect, you will receive a pleasant welcome, you will be taken to paradise in a pleasant manner and the esteem you enjoy there will also be most agreeable. Otherwise, you will be degraded for all time. You will suffer for all eternity. Just so you can entertain people for a couple of minutes. And even then, that is not real entertainment. It will upset everyone, because you mock the hereafter. People will be afraid. There is obviously a Creator and a hereafter. Behave well and properly. Allah says, "Allah does not want any injustice for His servants." Allah wants the best for us, not to torment us. But He wants us to be normal, reasonable, good and honest people of good conscience. If you mock Him and His angels, then He will make you very unhappy. Allah wants us to behave normally and properly. To be loving and humane. Almighty Allah does not tell us not to enjoy ourselves. There are hadiths where our Prophet (saas) tells people to make jokes. There are hadiths that encourage joking. Joke, but don't bring the angels and the hereafter into it. Why involve them in your jokes? That is very bad. Teachers and religious types do that, too. I have seen devout professors and some foolish sheikhs doing it. I have seen it with my own eyes. Some idiot sits there and makes jokes about the hereafter. I listen in a serious manner, and never laugh. They are surprised. But there is nothing to laugh at. I say it makes me uneasy. Idiots. How can one laugh at such things? On the country, fear of Allah should enter one's hearts. Look at the shamelessness of it.
You see it in religious papers and magazines. Some religious politicians engage in this foolishness. I have seen many such politicians. I call them fools, because they also know what they are. It is not just a few people. This shamelessness is widespread.
For example, when bigoted teachers go to a meeting they make such foolish jokes to make a hit with the people there. You can see this in all bigots. That is the kind of filth they also provide at home. They spread filth and immorality. They are morally ugly. Of course they can do no harm to radiant beings there, and paradise and hell. And my apologies to [leader of the Turkish opposition] Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu, of course. I guess someone told him and suggested he say it. Because he is a devout and honest person. Not the kind of man to do such a thing. I do not think he will do it again, insha'Allah.
It is common in families. We used to have meetings at home when I was a child, and some idiot would immediately make a joke about the hereafter. There are animals like that around. One of our friends described how someone was about to die, and he asked the people around for some spare cash to spend in the hereafter. You dog, you are about to die and you are still making vile jokes. People are filled with fear an awe of Allah, and that idiot tries to make a joke. All it tells us is what an idiot you are. We can see that Allah has deprived you of your reason. And we think of your punishment and seek refuge in Allah. Idiot. You are dying. Your bonds with this world are going. Look, let us assume you have no intelligence and that you are completely cretinous; you still have to admit a 50-50 possibility. You should still ask yourself, what if the hereafter really does exist? Even if you are utterly moronic. And if you wonder if the hereafter exists, then you will not do it. How can you be that stupid? Even the stupidest person would be in two minds. Your human nature should stop you. Do you not see? There is a perfect system here. Everything is based on a mathematical system. You see a colored world. It is all quite amazing. May Allah grant you salvation, insha'Allah.
Of course, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will be someone who loves beauty, insha'Allah. Rome, the city of Heraklion, will be surrounded by the delightful love of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). All Italians will become Muslims, insha'Allah. You will see.
(The sound of an explosion, thought to be caused by a meteor, was heard along a line extending all along Nevada and California in the USA. In the wake of the explosion, all the houses in several towns were rocked at the same time. During the explosion, a large ball of fire was seen in the sky. Researchers have investigated the matter. But they have made no statement about what the parts of the meteor that reached the earth, it probably having broken up in the atmosphere, are made of.)
I said that marvels would take place, and they are happening one after the other. The Qur'an also refers to stone from the sky. When they see it, they will think it is a cloud and ignore it, it says. "It is only a cloud," they will say. But the real stone event will come in Hijri 1545. It will strike the world twice and damage it badly. There will be one blow, and then another, says Allah.2012-05-14 10:22:32

As Christine mentioned, today is National Burger Day. So here is my submission to honor the occasion. I decided to go a bit Hawaiian style with this one. First, let me share with you the brew that accompanied me on this cook. It is called Primo Bombucha. I'll post it again with the details of it later in the beer thread. You'll see what kind of influence it exerted in my results.
Next, you might wish to see the wonderful sauce with which I used to glaze the patties and buns. Who else has tried it?
I used ground pork for this one, and went indirect. Direct grilled some "char-amelized" red onion as well.
Here you get to see the first instance of where I "bombucha'd" my cook. Oooops, I toasted my buns just a wee bit more than I wanted. Gratefully, machs nichts, cause it did not put the hurt to the taste. You can see how I spread some of that Kona glaze with the sesame seeds on the buns, and I topped the patties with Deluxe American cheese.
First plating with sweet potato fries.
Bombucha #2... Somehow I managed to smear my lens again, Doh! I've got to get with Canada's idea and get some of those removable UV filters pronto. Anyway, here's the zoom-in. You can see that I also included a lovely slice of pineapple.
And finally, a little more cross-sectional analysis. What a wonderful Island treat and get away this one was! Mahalo, Brahs!

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
If you ask someone why they feel stressed, they may not be able to point to a specific reason. This is because stress often comes from a source that the sufferer may not fully understand. If you have an easily identified source of stress, you are lucky (try to get rid of it). Most people cannot figure out why they feel stressed.
Stress comes in three flavors: physical, emotional, and behavioral. A physical stress might be an injury, an annoying sound or an uncomfortable chair. Emotional stress includes things like fighting with a friend, or the death of a loved one. Behavioral stress might come from alcohol, caffeine, or poor sleep.
Looking at these areas and taking a step back to look at the bigger picture may help someone understand where their stress is coming from. For example, someone who feels tense all the time may not realize that it's because of poor sleep due to noisy neighbors (behavioral and physical stress). A good pair of earplugs may make all the difference in the world! Try examining the various parts of your life to see if you can find something that might be causing stress. Experiment to see if eliminating the stressor makes you feel better.
If you can remember back to your last stressful situation, you may remember that your hands and feet felt cold. This is because your body reduces blood flow to its extremities when it is under stress.
To reverse these symptoms and help yourself feel better, try rubbing your hands together vigorously until you have worked up some good heat. Now, do some simple finger and wrist stretches. Twist your wrists around or interlock your fingers and push your palms away from you to get a good stretch. If you frequently get cold hands, you may want to get some thin gloves to wear. If you cant wear gloves because you need to type, you can easily make some typing gloves by cutting off the fingers. This will keep your hands warm and allow you to type.
Of course, cold hands and feet don't necessarily mean that you are under stress. You may have a circulatory problem such as Raynaud's disease, or you may simply be cold. If in doubt, ask your doctor.
Many people use the words 'anxiety' and 'stress' interchangeably, and although they are related, they do not mean the same thing. Anxiety is a feeling of fear or apprehension about future uncertainties, which may contain unknown dangers. Anxiety can cause sweating, heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath or trembling.
Stress is a larger term that includes anxiety as well as feelings of frustration, anger or nervousness. Stress and anxiety are highly personal things. What makes one person feel stressed or anxious may not make someone else feel the same way.
Anxiety disorders are strong cases that have a serious negative impact on a person's life. Some common anxiety disorders are phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and social anxiety disorder. For many of these conditions there are drugs or treatments that are effective.
The opposite of a type A personality is type B. These people tend to be more relaxed and calmer than their type A counterparts. Type B people are easy-going, uncompetitive and more realistic about deadlines and goals. They know their limits and rarely push them. Type B people are often called socializers because they enjoy parties and being in groups. Type B people are very easy to get along with because they rarely get irritated or bothered.
As you might expect, type B people have a lower incidence of heart disease and other stress related illnesses.
A person with a type A personality is someone who is very driven and competitive. They are generally more assertive, impatient and always in a hurry. Type A people push themselves to the limits by multitasking and setting difficult goals and deadlines.
This term was originally coined by Dr. Meyer Friedman and Dr. Ray H. Rosenman to describe behaviors that can significantly increase the risk of heart disease and other stress related illnesses.
If you answer yes to a majority of the following questions, then you may be a type A person.
1. Do you get bothered waiting in line at a store or restaurant?
2. Do you think about other things when talking to other people?
3. Do you have a hard time falling asleep?
4. Do you get bothered by the way other people drive?
5. Do people ever tell you to calm down, chill out, or take it easy?
6. Do you grind your teeth?
7. Do you often ask people to get to the point or give you a summary of what they are talking about?
8. Do you enjoy change?
If you want to become more relaxed, you might start by practicing proper breathing. Meditation may also be helpful.

CAR vandals have caused misery for people living in part of Blackburn following a spate of attacks.
Cars in Sandy Lane and Cross Street, Lower Darwen, and the Oakdale Estate were all targeted this week.
Elaine Humphreys, of Sandy Lane, said her husband's car had been attacked with the wing mirrors kicked off.
Mrs Humphreys said: "They did two more cars round the corner in Cross Street as well.
"I think there was a group of youths doing it as some others were shown on the camera walking past soon after."
Mrs Humphreys said there had been problems with youths in the area. "On Monday night there was a group of them drinking in the street. We have had problems recently, especially during the holidays.
"We haven't had a quote yet for the repairs to our car but it is a huge inconvenience and will cost a lot of money to fix."
CCTV images of a female seen near the car on the night it was vandalised have been given to police.
Kezia Cameron-Atkin, of Darwen, said her boyfriend had just moved to Oakdale and their cars had been vandalised on a number of occasions.
She said: "In July, we had our car broken into and two cars keyed and then last Tuesday night someone wrote the name 'Danielle' on to the bonnet of one of our cars.
"He has only recently moved to Oakdale so we have been devastated at the vandalism.
"It is such a nice area that we were really surprised when it happened."
Fernhurst councillor Jackie Slater said: "I don't know what is going on, there must be a gang going round doing this for fun.
"It is just ridiculous.
"We are lucky in Lower Darwen as we have a thriving youth club. So it is sad these others give them a bad name.
"It is a shame as it spoils it for everyone else because the youths all get tarred with the same brush when it is only a minority."
PC Russell Lambert of Blackburn police said: "This is mindless vandalism that has resulted in unnecessary expense and inconvenience for the owners."

Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 Video clips
more Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 videos
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2 is the biggest, most powerful Tab Pro in Samsung's new line, and it's targeted at those who want it all. Featuring a giant, 12.2-inch, 1600x2560 resolution display, the Tab Pro 12.2 is a feast for the eyes. Powering the massive slate is something just as impressive: a Snapdragon 800 chipset for the 4G LTE version, or an Exynos 5420 for the international, 3G model. The amount of on-board memory is equally generous, at 3GB, while internal storage sits at 32GB or 64GB, depending on the model of your choice. At the rear, you'll find an 8-megapixel snapper, good for 1080p video capture and some high-resolution shots.
