View Argentina, Brazil, South Georgia & Falklands on shaneandnicola's travel map.
I had planned a spare day for today just in case we were severely jet lagged. But we were not as bad as expected. We decided to take a walk into the Recoleta and Retiro areas as that was only 10 blocks away from where we were staying. The Recoleta area is famous for the cemetery. The monks of the Order of the Recoletos arrived in this area in the early eighteenth century. The cemetery is built around their convent and a church, Our Lady of Pilar built in 1732.
The order was disbanded in 1822, and the garden of the convent was converted into the first public cemetery in Buenos Aires. Set in 14 acres the cemetery contains 4691 vaults, all above ground, of which 94 have been declared National Historical Monuments. The cemetery contains many elaborate marble mausoleums decorated with statues. The entire cemetery is laid out in sections like city blocks, with wide tree-lined main walkways branching into sidewalks filled with mausoleums. There are several famous people buried there but the mausoleum everyone goes to visit is for Eva Peron (Evita).

In that holiday classic "It's a Wonderful Life," you will recall one of the closing scenes when little Zuzu hears a tiny bell on the family Christmas tree tinkle, and tells her parents: "Teacher says 'every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings'".
The movie's little jingler was made by the Bevin Brothers bell company in East Hampton, a Connecticut town once so identified with the makers of melodic metal it was nicknamed "belltown." It is amazing how many iconic American bells are from Bevin's: the Salvation Army hand-ringer bells, the bells on all the Santas past and present in the Macy's holiday parades, the bells that announced boxing rounds in many championship fights, the bells on Good Humor ice cream carts, even the bells that opened and closed many New York Stock Exchange sessions.
So it was a tragedy of historic proportions that occurred back on May 27 when lightning sparked a major blaze that burned the Bevin Bell factory nearly to the ground. East Hampton residents watched in horror, fearing the town's heritage literally had gone up in flames. Three days later, company owner Matt Bevin told Connecticut: "You start over. This is America."

The Nature Conservancy is one of our favorite charities here at Vermont Woods Studios. TNC has been working to protect Earth's most important natural places — for us and future generations— for nearly 60 years. They are one of the leading conservation organizations in the world and their reputation for great science and smart partnerships is renowned.
Plant A Billion Trees is one of TNCs ongoing projects that dovetails with our mission of forest preservation at Vermont Woods Studios. The goal is to save one of the world's most endangered rainforests, The Brazilian Atlantic Forest:
"Animal and plant life of every imaginable kind live under the lush, green canopy of Brazil's Atlantic Forest. High in the treetops, golden lion tamarins forage for food while woolly spider monkeys gather fruit and nuts. Blue-winged macaws, red-tailed parrots and countless other birds call out while elusive jaguars prowl the forest floor."
The strategy is to plant a tree for every dollar raised: one dollar, one tree, one planet. You'll start to see fundraising buttons on our site as we get this project up and running over the next few months. Our goal is to raise $2000 for the initiative. You can make a lasting difference now and for future generations. All it takes is a dollar. Thanks for your help!

I'd thought I'd mark Tweetage Wasteland's fiftieth confession by taking a quick trip in the cell phone time machine.
Time: Three Days Ago
Setting: Hotel Palomar. San Francisco. 9:30am
I was chatting with my old friend Arthur over a continental breakfast at the Hotel Palomar. His phone rang. He took the call. It didn't bother me in the slightest. He had warned me ahead of time that this mission critical call might come. Arthur is an upsettingly accomplished writer and was scheduled to do a series of radio interviews while in San Francisco. He got the data he needed (where to be, when, who was driving) and snapped shut his flip phone. The minute or so he spent on his phone gave me just enough time to fire up my iPhone, check email, web stats, and incoming Tweets. It was a win win. On the surface, the moment was all too normal. A couple guys sitting across from each other at a table, both working their cell phones. But not too long ago, this scene with Arthur would have been completely unthinkable.
Time: Five Years Ago
Setting: Brooklyn Heights. Noon
I left a meeting downtown and raced to meet Arthur at a Brooklyn Heights cafe where he spent most afternoons huddled over a pen and a pile of dog-earred yellow pads. I was late. I wanted to call Arthur and let him know. But I couldn't. Arthur hated being connected. When he used a laptop to type his novels, he did so only after disabling its wireless connectivity. And he hated cell phones. I saw this contempt for technology as selfish aggression.
What point was he trying to make? Forget about me. What about his wife? They had two young kids. What if there was an emergency? I got frustrated enough when my wife forgot her cell phone somewhere. But to simply refuse to own one?
Arthur took my complaints in stride. He heard them all the time. He offered an anecdote about his travels in his early twenties when he went for weeks without being anywhere near a phone. And nothing terrible happened. Sometimes he just didn't want to be reached so he didn't feel he needed a cell phone and he was convinced if he got one, he'd never be able to concentrate enough to write another novel. I decided I wouldn't want to call him even if he changed his mind.
Time: Twenty One Years Ago
Setting: The Sizzler. 11:30am, Early Bird Special
I spent the summer working at my dad's company. He was (and is) an amazingly successful self-made real estate developer. On a particularly slow day, everyone in the office decided to hit the Sizzler. Shortly after sitting down, we heard a too-loud voice rising above the din of the lunch crowd. We looked over and saw a guy alone at a table, holding one of those giant, newfangled portable phones to his ear.
My dad shook his head. "Don't ever let that happen to you," he warned. "Can you imagine having a job so terrible that you can't even get away from your boss long enough to eat your lunch. They make him carry around that contraption." And everyone else at the table nodded in agreement.
"David, look at that poor guy." My dad touched my hand. "That's why I always tell you, never work for someone else."
Time: Today
Setting: Right behind this screen
Arthur still has his cell phone. He'll read this blog post on his wifi-connected laptop and maybe he'll share it on the Facebook page his publisher convinced him to set up.
So I guess I won that battle. But thinking of us sitting at the table, phones in hand, does make me wonder whether Arthur was really so wrong to want to disconnect from everyone for a few hours a day.
While he doesn't use it much, my dad has had a cell phone for years. And it's always in his pocket, even when we occasionally go back to that Sizzler near his office.
Times have changed. We're never going back. In a lot of ways, that's probably a good thing. And maybe I'm just a little delirious from spending the last seventy hours tracking the whereabouts of my iPad on my iPhone. But it's worth hitting the pause button every now and then to ask some big questions.
Couldn't the pity my dad felt for that guy at the Sizzler be applied, on some level, to any one of us today?

text: Armed Felon Charged With Meth, Gun Counts News Published: 02 July 2014 Monday, patrol officers with the Caldwell County Sheriffs Office received a call at the Market Basket convenience store on Morganton Blvd. about a suspicious vehicle and person. The caller said a white male was in the car and was armed with a gun. The caller provided police with a description and tag number of the suspicious vehicle. When Caldwell deputies arrived on the scene, the vehicle was gone, but with the information provided by the caller, deputies were able to locate the vehicle and suspect near the store. Deputies said they approached the vehicle and found a white male inside, identifying him as Steven Wayne Patton, 22, of Celia Creek Rd. Lenoir. Deputies say they found the gun in the floorboard of the vehicle after the owner gave officers permission to search, and during that consent search they also found 23.7 grams of Methamphetamine and other items that are used in the sale of narcotics. Steven Wayne Patton was charged with Possession of a firearm by a Convicted Felon, Possession with intent to Manufacture Sell and Deliver Methamphetamine, Maintaining a Vehicle for Controlled Substance purposes, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Patton was set a $75,000.00 secured bond in the Caldwell County Detention Center. fShare Tweet Print Email Prev Next

- Is this game worth buying/playing?
How long would you say it is (in playtime hours)?
Is it mission based, free to explore, or is there a story mode?
Why do people who like this game, actually like it (violence aside)?
Feel free to comment on playability/fun factor/anything else.

I'm not really a GTA series fan, but if the game is fun/playable, I don't see why not.
How long depends on you, the player. Some people can finish the main missions in this game in say 30 hours, most 50 hours and if you play around not worrying the time and go explore it can take you up to 80 hours or more.
It's half-half. The game is partly mission-based but you can pretty much feel free to explore as soon as you get control of CJ. The game prompts you to get on a bicycle but you don't have to. You can instead just jump into any vehicle around and go exploring. However you are limited to just the Los Santos city, unless you use cheats to remove the wanted level. Through story progression the other cities becomes unlocked for you to explore if you choose not to cheat.
Well personally speaking the violence was never a factor for me for this game. The sole purpose I got this game was for the exploration of a whole state. The idea that you can explore everywhere virtually from the beginning of the game was so exciting for me. You've got the Back O' Beyond area (woodland and so on, great for being spooky especially with fog), then you have desert areas of the state near Las Venturas, plus you have 3 huge cities and various amounts of smaller country towns to explore.

Every game in the series is worth playing. You appreciate it more when you see the progression that made SA what it is. The driving physics, the lack of loading, radio content... They make you work for some good rewards it actually takes a bit of story play to open the gun stores.
A lot of the world makes you wish it was more interactive but thats because its so detailed and varied. You can get a fax in real life, gta IV didn't even go that far. It might not be shenmue but there is still a lot to keep you busy between missions. The story starts off pretty strong like a 90s gang movie but it doesn't stay there as long as you'd think. At first you really want to prove yourself and rebuild your crew and then the focus changes a lot. It was misleading to me but there is a lot of story crammed into the mission progression which keeps it interesting. My favorite things are the radio and commercials, pedestrian conversations and interactions, gambling, code induced craziness and just exploring in general.

hey guys im new here obviously but im no noob to gaming thats for sure i been a GTA fan since PS1 and continued on all the GTA's to our beautiful next-gen consoles.

Ditto. The sheer amount there is to explore and do is what makes this game a gem. I remember a friend complaining about it because he didn't like the gang story - who cares? The storyline took up so little of my playtime honestly. Most of the time I spent simply exploring, doing stunts, etc.

Who cares? LOL
let me just say
the game has the player simulate gang and crime related activity... not all people are into that kinda of stuff... u look at what this whole genre of sandbox street crime games are from a moral ethical standpoint and you begin to see why mothers dont want their nine year old little boys playing these games
and kids who have mothers that baby them throughout their youth will sometimes grow up all dorky and square but soft and mushy emotionally and suddenly these kinds of games become a perversion of reality... this game itself just like Vice City before it dont even try to hide the fact that they are making parody and joke out of issues in real life that actually very controversial and almost inflammatory
just listen to the "Inversion Therapy" radio advertisements
some dude: "I used to dream about having sex with my mother. And now that I've done it, I don't want to anymore."
Announcer: "See folks! Inversion Therapy can work for you! Try it today!"
Glory Hole Theme Park anyone? Yes lets all take our kids to Glory Hole Theme Park!
A lot of the teenage kids who play these games think its all in good fun and is funny, but many fail to realize the underlying shock and awe effects that the game is actually employing. Is it clever? Sure it is. But it's also sinister and lewd. The game is targeted towards a demographic of video game players who enjoy the glorifying street crime and gang violence without questioning the moral integrity of the content they are ingesting.
I dont mean to get all Preston the Preacher on you but I'm just trying to say. Everybody is raised differently though and while yes many of us go through public education system and all that for example, at the same time nothing can ever be some kind of unifying thread that binds the whole world together to make us all think and act the same. Or care about the same stuff.
But more and more as time goes on games are being made that are ever more borderline innapropriate than the last because every company and developer is trying to draw as much attention to their product as they can so they can sell more and this game I think is testament to their modern day creativity in doing so.
just play the game... worry about your sanity afterwards ~riddlebox89
I have to agree that the glory hole theme park reference in the game is seriously not appropriate for anyone, of any age, at all, ever.

1. I've used nuts.
2. The bride hates tomatoes. She put them on her evil foods list.
3. Tomato cupcakes at a wedding? I don't think so.
1. Perhaps I have a special bond with red tomatoes because I'm a redhead. (Why do they call redheads carrot tops instead of tomato tops?)
2. Our tomato plant has been very kind to us this year. See the picture. I figure I should give back to tomatoes by supporting them as well.
Where to begin with a tomato cupcake? Luckily, Garrett of Vanilla Garlic had paved the road by creating a tomato soup cupcake recipe back in October of '06. In his post about the cupcakes, he points out that they took 5 minutes to make. While that has great appeal, I thought I would have to make them slightly more snazzy to win a contest.
Again my favorite cupcake blogs did not let me down. Chockylit of Cupcake Bakeshop had a recipe for a basil cream filling. I thought giving the cupcake a filling would sweeten up what had the potential to be a more muffiny cupcake.
I spent some time thinking about the topping. I debated for a while using a cream cheese frosting as Garrett had done. At first, I couldn't picture cream cheese with tomato. Then it hit me… "Hello, what kind of Jew are you? Bagels, cream cheese, tomatoes, and lox." Wow, I must be out of NY too long. Despite the realization about the joy of cream cheese and tomatoes, I opted against the cream cheese in favor of a tomato honey glaze. I really wanted to take the tomato flavor home.
For the final and perhaps most important component, I found a recipe for pesto truffles on The Dough Ball.
I essentially turned a 5 minute cupcake into an all-day baking adventure.
The Results
This cupcake was a meal in itself. A unique, delicious, and filling meal. The only thing I would change is to put more filling into each cupcake. I really enjoyed the bites where I had both filling and cake. I might also try it with some actual frosting. I loved the glaze, but I'm not sure how much it added to the whole thing. It was great when I first made it. It tasted like a tomato version of applesauce. (I might even make it again for that very purpose. Maybe to serve with a potato pancake, for example.) However, by the next day it had absorbed a bit too much into the cupcake.
The Results that Counted
Finally, announcement time came. First place went to…. Tomato Beer. Come on, it's 90 degrees out and people are at a drinking event. That's a shoo-in winner. Congrats to Mr. Tomato Beer if you ever happen to come across my blog. Second place went to someone else and third place went to someone else. Guess I wasted my time. But no, turns out they created a special prize just for my tomato cupcakes! The judges gave me runner up because they LOVED them but they didn't think they were quite tomato flavored enough to give them the big prize. Hey, I'll take it. The prize was a free dinner for two at Iron Barley. Woohoo!
In case anyone doubts my prize winning, (I have no idea why you would), here is some video evidence.
This next video is of my acceptance speech. I have thus far avoided even putting a picture of me on this blog. However, I just love listening to the oohs and ahhs on this video so I had to share. There goes my anonymity. Feel free to ignore me (unless you are a member of my immediate family, in which case I expect high props) and focus on the oohs and ahhs. It's fun, at least for me. Note that when I brought the leftover pesto truffles into work, I got "ugh – no thanks". Different strokes for different folks.
Detailed Baking Notes
This next part is the detailed baking notes for any other crazy cupcake people who would like to spend a whole day making a cupcake or for anyone who would like to make just a small component of them (for example the truffles). I had to write this up to enter the contest which is why you are getting more detailed notes than normal.
Pesto Truffles
Makes dozens. You will definitely have more truffles than cupcakes and you will be happy about that. Truffle recipe found on http://thedoughball.blogspot.com/2007/06/my-second-sugar-high-friday-and-my.html
- 473 ml heavy whipping cream
- Large bunch of basil leaves (about 5 oz depending on how strong a basil flavor you want)
- 3 bars of Godiva 60% chocolate (about 400 grams of chocolate)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ½ cup chopped toasted pine nuts
- ½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- pinch of salt
- First take the basil and put it in a bowl with the cream, cover with saran wrap and let sit overnight in the fridge, stirring occasionally to mix it up.
- The next day, take out about ½ cup of the basil leaves and cream and blend with a hand mixer so you end up with a greenish, slightly thickened mixture.
- Now strain the unblended cream into a saucepan, pressing on the basil leaves to make sure and squeeze all the cream out of them. Hold onto the basil leaves to use in the basil cream filling.
- Pour in olive oil and heat over medium low, stirring everything together. While you're waiting for the cream to heat up just under a simmer (turn off the heat when you see the first baby bubbles appear), break the chocolate into small pieces in a bowl.
- When the cream is ready, pour over the chocolate and begin stirring, and keep stirring until all the chocolate pieces have melted. Now take the blended basil and cream and mix into the chocolate and cream until everything is incorporated.
- Put in the refrigerator until it has cooled completely and is hard enough to roll, about 6 hours. If you're in a hurry, stick it in the freezer before you work it.
- While you wait for your basil ganache to set, if you haven't yet, then grate your cheese, toast your pine nuts, and chop them, and then combine together in a bowl.
- When the ganache is ready combine the cocoa powder with the Parmesan and pine nuts and a tiny pinch of salt (keep in mind, Parmesan is salty) all in a bowl.
- Get the ganache out and roll small chocolate balls between your palms. Throw it into the cocoa powder mixture and coat well. If desired, do a second coating in a bowl of just Parmesan cheese.
Tomato Cupcake
Modified from a recipe found on http://vanillagarlic.blogspot.com/2006/10/tomato-soup-cupcakes-with-cream-cheese.html.
(The reason for the modification was simply that all the condensed tomato soup that I found had high fructose corn syrup in it. Therefore, I tried to reproduce condensed tomato soup on my own with regular corn syrup. If you don't care about eating high fructose corn syrup, I'd use Garrett's recipe. It's probably lighter.)
Basil Cream Filling
Recipe from http://cupcakeblog.com/index.php/2006/03/basil-cream-and-mint-cream-filled-cupcakes-with-raspberry-mousse-frosting/
Honey Tomato Glaze
Modified from a recipe found on http://www.foodtv.ca/recipes/recipedetails.aspx?dishid=7445
- 2 cans of tomato paste
- 1 T corn syrup
- 1 T water
- 1cup milk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup of butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2/3 teaspoon of ground cloves
- 1 1/2 cups of sifted self-rising flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- crushed walnuts (optional)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- All the basil that is leftover from the pesto truffle making
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 large very ripe heirloom tomatoes, diced
- 2 cups aromatic honey
- 1 x vanilla bean, scraped
- Set the butter and egg out and let them come to room temperature. Set the over to 350 degrees.
- Mix tomato paste, corn syrup, water, and baking soda in a bowl and let it stand. Use a deep bowl as the mixture will rise.
- Cream the butter, sugar, and spices in bowl. Add the egg and mix for 30 seconds. Mix in the tomato and soda mixture. Mix in the milk.
- Mix the flour and baking powder together, and then beat into the mixture until just combined.
- Pour evenly into cupcake papers. Fill the papers high since the cupcakes won't rise much.
- Bake for 20 min at 350 and then an additional 5 minutes at 310 or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Bring sugar and water to a boil, stir until sugar dissolves.
- Chop basil or mint and add to the mixture.
- Boil for 3 minutes.
- Cool to room temperature.
- Beat heavy cream on high until stiff peaks form.
- Add the five to six tablespoons of syrup to taste and beat until combined.
- Combine everything in a stainless steel pot and bring to a boil.
- Cover and reduce heat to a simmer.
- Cook on medium low heat partially covered for 10 – 20 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the mixture has a glaze-like consistency.
- Strain out liquid.
- Blend the tomato and honey mixture that remains and chill.
- When the cupcakes are cooled, cut a cone out of the top of each one.
- Pipe some basil cream filling into the hole and replace the top.
- Spread the glaze onto the top of each cupcake. The glaze will go on very thick (think applesauce). However after leaving it in the fridge overnight, much of it will absorb into the cupcake.
- Top with a pesto truffle.
- Eat and smile!

ROME (Nov. 8)
Italian newspapers today attacked France with almost unheard of violence as a result of the Paris incident.
For too long, declared Tribuna, France has offered to the world an example of the political crimes carried out on its soil. In some cases, it continued, these crimes have involved scandalous collusion in the judicial field. Italy, it declared, knows something of this. Rejecting French liberty and French hospitality as explaining the situation, the newspapers said that France has revised its conception of hospitality, and continued:
"The crimes have since continued to take place, because they find in the French political field, in its lack of comprehension, in its daily libels, in its repeated excitations, their first impulse and their fatal incitement. This field is also responsible for the new Paris crime, as it is responsible for the difficulties preventing mutual understanding between the peoples governed under the principles of democracy and the peoples made disciple orderly and respectful by strong governments."

My "about" tab may be a little short on personality and long on lists. The questions tab is a better bet (unless you're just skimming for movie recommendations, of course); I usually browse "unacceptable answers" and "have explanations" there.
Learning the first 10% of a language.
Literature. My go-to literature is a $1 Shakespeare tome, the Atlantic and a short list of blogs. I haven't gotten much other normal reading done since starting grad school; and my liberal-arts undergrad education burned me out on books for a while there, too. It's picked up a little thanks to ebooks. Back when, I was a fan of Dostoyevsky, Saramago, Nietzsche, Gogol, Tennessee Williams and the rest.
Movies. Volver, Ratatouille, What about Bob?, Fanny and Alexander, Do the Right Thing, The Host/Goemul, Ran, Infernal Affairs and The Long Goodbye.
TV shows. Cowboy Bebop and The Wire are my favorites by a mile. Among current TV shows: Modern Family, Archer, Orange is the New Black, Peaky Blinders and Washington Week.
Radio shows. Marketplace, This American Life, Morning Becomes Eclectic and The World.
Music. Nirvana, Cee-lo Green, MF DOOM, Amy Winehouse, Janelle Monae, Moloko, Copy and Bonobo are tops. Beyond that, there's just Flamenco and anything in Portuguese (like Fado and MPB). I find new music on KCRW. In rotation now: Meg Myers, Camarón de la Isla.
Food. The less processed it is, the better. Indian/Himalayan food is my favorite, though Greek is also up there. Also: dumplings from all around the world.
Sports. I like running, downhill skiing, backpacking and kayaking. I ran a single marathon (very slowly) and went on several longish backpacking trips back in the day. I hope to get around to doing that sort of thing again soon, and have long planned to try out similar stuff (trail running, orienteering). I'd like to learn how to swim better for exercise, but the university's swimming courses seem to fill up awfully quickly.
I'll enjoy watching a game now and then, but I've never invested in following players or grown attached to a team. I watch The Voice and think that's got same idea, marketing-wise. See, I understand sports!
I also like board games, especially the abstract ones. Here's a reference because a couple of people have asked: http://www.di.fc.ul.pt/~jpn/gv/
Comedy. If you have read this far, I suggest you check out @markleidner, @rolldiggity, @DemetriMartin and @Jeffely on Twitter. Good stuff, I say.
If your taste matches mine, recommend stuff. Anyone who counts more than one thing above among his/her favorites is my kind of people to a first approximation.
If you ever use the word "fraught," please reconsider before speaking, writing, thinking or living any further. Unless you're Ira Glass.

World Carbon Standards to Relax - CCX Head
Date: 15-Sep-08
Country: US
Author: Timothy Gardner
CCX Chairman and Chief Executive Richard Sandor said he favors granting carbon credits to clean projects, such as maintenance and planting of trees, even if the actions occurred years earlier, in some cases before carbon markets existed.
The approach is counter to a major tenet of carbon trade -- known as additionality -- which says a transaction of a carbon credit is only good if it results in a emissions reduction that would not have happened otherwise.
"It doesn't matter if it's operating and ongoing," Sandor said. "New additionality doesn't require you to start from scratch," he said.
A global debate is heating up on how best to structure markets for trade of credits claiming to represent emissions reductions. Both presidential candidates in the United States, historically the top greenhouse gas polluter, favor regulating emissions, and global delegates are to meet in Copenhagen next year to decide what comes after the Kyoto Protocol.
Some carbon market players have complained about credits that reward people for long-standing activities.
The CCX, for example, has paid farmers millions of dollars for no-till agriculture -- leaving crop waste to decay in the soil -- even though many had been doing the practice before the bourse started trading in 2003.
Many market players, including at least one CCX member, refuse to buy such credits on the CCX, slamming them as "anyway tonnes" that don't pay for new actions that slow global warming. They want tighter standards to ensure every carbon credit pays for some "additional" reduction in emissions.
Sandor said looser standards in global carbon markets would reward early actors for being good environmental stewards and encourage other people, companies and cities to do so.
The CCX, run by Britain's Climate Exchange Plc, has more than 350 members including companies, nonprofit organizations, and cities. Members sign a legally binding pledge to cut emissions. If they cannot do so, they must buy credits over the exchange, either from other members or from offset projects.
Credits on the CCX, at US$2.50 a tonne, are far cheaper than those in European Union of about US$31.70 a tonne, where a mandatory market has operated since 2005.
US carbon legislation probably will include no-till farming and forestry rules similar to those on the CCX, which allows credits for past actions, Sandor said. That's because some 350 million acres of US farmland could generate credits, which could make farmers a lot of money, he said.
Still, if US legislation requires different rules, he said, the CCX would adapt.
"We're only in the business of predicting. If our predictions are incorrect, we don't care, we'll adopt whatever the wisdom of the legislation says."

The Damasko DA46 is made by Damasko Watches of Germany. The watch is made in-house by Damasko. Many in-house technical innovations are found in this fine timepiece alone.
The watch is powered by the tried and tested ETA2836-2 which is fine tuned and tested by Damasko to high precision.
The watch case is made in-house by Damasko and features the industry's toughest material yet. The material is called ""ice-hardened, nickel-free stainles steel"". What is so unique about this steel is that they are absolutely nickel-free, offer a good corrosion resistance, and can be tempered up to 64 HRC/800Vickers which is four times the hardness of every other steel currently used in the watch industry. And this ice-hardened steel is used for the entire case, crown and pushers.
While other manufacturers choose to harden the surface of 316L (1.4435) or 1.4301 up to 1200 Vickers by diffusing carbon into the top layers of the steel, there is no way to temper the material. Due to the austenitic structure of the alloy it is impossible to make sure that that steel remains its hardness throughout the body.
Various tests have proved that this kind of surface treatment is not suitable for our purposes because it only hardens the top layer of the metal. This leads to the so-called eggshell effect. We were able to dent and scratch the "hardened" surface with an ordinary pair of tweezers (which are normally made from spring steel) because the material underneath the hard layer was not able to withstand the pressure.
The crown system is also another patent of Damasko. After extensive research Damasko developed a decoupling screw-down crown which is constructed according to standards derived from mechanical engineering. The use of a hex bolt with 2mm width across flats and the fact that the entire crown, including shaft, thread etc. is made from our patented hardened steel (60-62 HRC) results in a longevity which is second to none.
All gaskets of the new crown system are made of Viton™, a material with high chemical and mechanical resistance which is superior to every other gasket material (Nitril etc.) currently used in wrist watches.
Crownis also equipped with our patented lubrication cell which ensures a smooth action and lubricates the shaft and the gasket. The tube of the crown is according to industrial engineering, screwed into the case using a special key. Almost every other watch manufacturer makes use of an inferior press fit tube.
Yet another Patent found in this watch is the Gasket system. The new gasket system overcomes the common problem of moisture and dust ingress during the operation of the crown and pushers. Every Damasko watch features an important technical detail which is not visible at first sight but has a major influence on its accuracy under harsh conditions – the anti-magnetic cage. Only very few mechanical pilot's watches are equipped with this feature. The unique inner case consists of the dial, the movement retaining ring, and a second back. These parts are made of a special material with anti-magnetic characteristics which is able to withstand magnetic fields with a strength up to 80,000 A/m. They are machined with maximum precision to ensure an exact fit and to prevent the escapement from being magnetically charged.
The patent pending bezel system is CAD/CNC designed and engineered. Hardened components guarantee that our bezels ratchets will never wear out, or become loose. No other bezel available offers that amount of preciseness and performance even under harshest conditions.
The Damasko DA46 Watch comes with 2 years International Warranty, manual and leather box.

The National Air Transportation Association's (NATA) annual "Day on the Hill" attracted nearly 100 association members to the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., last Wednesday to visit members of Congress and their staff. The event started with a luncheon, and participants then dispersed for meetings with their congressional representatives. According to NATA, those meetings allowed members to have one-on-one conversations with their congressional representatives about issues critical to the future success of their aviation businesses. "I can't stress enough the immense value our members contribute when they personally deliver their message to Congress," said NATA president James Coyne. The event concluded with NATA's annual Industry Excellence Awards dinner, where Rep. Jerry Costello (D-Ill.), chairman of the aviation subcommittee, and Gary Driggers, retired senior vice president of Midcoast Aviation, were honored with the association's distinguished service and William Ong awards, respectively. U.S. Chamber of Commerce president and CEO Thomas Donohue, the host and guest speaker for the dinner, reiterated the importance of meeting face-to-face with congressional representatives to tell them how they are helping or hurting your business. In other news, NATA appointed Key Air president and CEO Bob Marinace, Fargo Jet Center president James Sweeney and Nantucket Memorial Airport airport manager Alfred Peterson to its board of directors.

Charlie Sheen's wife Brooke Mueller has not checked into a treatment center despite a flurry of internet rumors Wednesday morning, her attorney insists to UsMagazine.com.
Entertainment Tonight had reported that Mueller was in a drug and alcohol center in North Carolina. RadarOnline even goes as far to say she was smoking crack before going to rehab.(Mueller, 32, was arrested on a DUI charge in 1996 and for cocaine possession in 2001.)
But her lawyer, Yale Gallanter, tells Us she is in a wellness program. "Brooke is not in rehab," he says. "She is in North Carolina with her mom for some R & R pursuant to doctor's orders."
Mueller still cannot communicate with Sheen, 44, due to a protective order provided to her following an alleged domestic incident Christmas Day.
But Sheen, along with the help of nannies, are looking after their 10-month-old twin sons, Bob and Max.

April 12, 2012
Let us remember that Eugene Zimmerman never hurt anything but the feelings of politicians.

Wolfrum's Word
That Rick Santorum got as much support for President as he did should scare the living hell out of the rest of the planet. Face it, Santorum was one Mitt Romney scandal to winning the Republican nomination.
Aside from his faux fiscal conservative history, what should scare the world is just how Santorum embraced theocracy – and was still getting votes. Making it worse is that Santorum is one of those people that picked up Catholic fundamentalism as an adult. Children who are bombarded by religion have an advantage – their teenage years. A time when they can become their own person with their own beliefs. For someone like Santorum, he's made his choice – he's a fundamentalist who believes the Bible has more sway over government than any Founding Father ever believed.
Rick Santorum would have devastated the United States in nearly every way possible. As the U.S. claws back from the George W. Bush years and slowly builds back its economy and national psyche, a complete radical in the White House would take unemployment, wealth inequality and war mongering to historic highs in the U.S. Of this I have no doubt.
Santorum's out, though and we can put our fears to rest for now. But the fact is this: He came too damned close.
Will Mitt Romney be the first U.S. President to have once strapped a terrified dog to the roof of his car?

Wolfrum's Morning: Nothing at all
April 2, 2012
Oh, nothing.
Wolfrum's Word
At this stage of the game, it's looking like Mitt Romney is going to shatter the modern-day record for "Worst Campaign" ever – shattering the record set by John McCain in 2008. It's fitting he has tried (and faied) to use "Seinfeld" references – he's truly a person who's about nothing.

Wolfrum's Morning: RIP Frank Motta
March 22, 2012
Wolfrum's Word
My cousin Frank Motta was murdered last week. You can find the details here. It was a senseless killing that hurt the entire community, let alone our entire family. Frank was a genuinely good man. A veteran, teacher, principal and volunteer, he truly cared and loved other people.
I don't feel a seething rage at the killer of my cousin. In a week where we saw brutal murders in Toulouse, as well as the breaking of the Trayvon Martin murder story, I feel only a sadness for humanity. There is, apparently, one thing that binds all races – a disregard for life. More than that, I feel a sadness for Frank's wife and kids and my entire family. Frank was a great man, and he proved it every day of his life.

Quote of the Year
"Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign. Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch A Sketch. You can kind of shake it up and restart all over again." — Mitt Romney advisor Eric Fehrnstrom, forever linking his candidate to a crappy toy.
Wolfrum's Morning: You looking at me?
March 21, 2012
Today's Reading
Alicublog: Conservatives are outraged over Robert DeNiro attempting to make a joke. Because they have to be outraged about something.
FreakOutNation: Voter turnout in Illinois may have been the lowest in history.
Lance Mannion: Looking at the Trayvon Martin murder.
Matt Osborne: The War on Women rages on in Idaho.
This Just In
Wolfrum's Word
The word "inevitable" has been the keyword to Mitt Romney's entire campaign, and after his big win in an Illinois primary most notable for its poor turnout, it is truer now than ever. Mitt Romney will win the Republican nomination. It could not be more obvious. Brokered convention? Who cares, Romney will win.
The simple fact is that the media and political talking heads have worked overtime for quite some time in order to make it seem that Romney isn't a shoe-in. But once again, they have all ignored the American public. Normal Americans don't want a mindless theocrat or psychotic former Speaker of the House. Normal Americans think Ron Paul is fringe. Normal Americans think Romney at least looks Presidential.
Those who talk politics for a living have to talk politics, reality be damned. And right now, they are purposefully blocking out the fact that Romney will win. And since normal Americans have been terrified by the clown-show that is the GOP race, it remains inevitable that Barack Obama will be re-elected.
Will the real Mitt Romney please stand up?

Trayvon Martin
The murder of Trayvon Martin is not ground-breaking news. Ask a Black person. But what it has been is eye-opening for those who really struggle to accept that just walking around is a deadly activity for a Black person.
Martin's killing also shines a light on repulsive "Stand Your Ground" laws, which essentially give gun owners the freedom to murder anyone. The killer of Martin – George Zimmerman – stated he feared Martin. Let's just be happy, I suppose, that Juan Williams isn't packing heat in SYG state the next time he boards a plane with Muslims.
Finally, there's nothing quite like seeing 5,000 Web sites desperately trying to get a good Trayvon Martin keyword to get hits from his death to make you feel uneasy about the Internet. Though I suppose its taking the easy way out to blame the Internet. It would be more correct to state that the Internet gives voice to numerous soul-less ghouls who see death and tragedy as a way to make some money from Google ads.
Mike Daisey
Having a journalism background, I should be more outraged at Mike Daisey inventing damning facts about China. But I don't see it as worse than a media that deals in false equivalencies and shallow reporting. Wanna play the equivalency game? Explain to me how what Daisey did is more hurtful than what guys like David Gregory and Chuck Todd do on a daily basis?
Today's Reading
Slate: Paul Ryan wants a lot of things – strengthening the social safety net isn't one of them.
I don't see what the big deal is about the Denver Broncos signing Manning. The guy is five-foot-nothing and will probably just give the Broncos' playbook to opposing team. So I go against the experts on this one – signing Bradley Manning was a terrible move by Denver. But, at least he's better than Tim Tebow.
Beyoncelicious: Remember ladies, if you can't shed all the weight you gained from pregnancy in two months or less, you are a failure.

Wolfrum's Morning: Say it to Mitt's face
June 16, 2011
Wolfrum's morning has been spent running errands and not perusing current events. Thus, today's post is dedicated to allowing you – the discernible reader – to do what Tim Pawlenty just didn't have the courage to do at the GOP Debate – say what you think right to Mitt Romney's face.
I'll start:
Hey Mitt, would you say ObamneyCare is your greatest achievement?
Your turn.

LAKE SUCCESS (Oct. 27)
A move to expedite the U.N. Assembly discussion of the Palestine question was initiated today by the President of the General Assembly, Gen. Carlos Romulo of the Philippines.
After consultation with the chairman of the six major committees of the Assembly, it was decided to transfer the Palestine debate from the Political Committee to its auxiliary, the Special Political Committee, because the Political Committee's agenda is crowded.
The Israeli delegation is perturbed over the move since the Israelis have conducted their consultations with the delegates in the first committee, who are better acquainted with the fine points of the problem.

Earlier this year we invited local teams from different European cities to get in touch and chat to us about what it is to host WordCamp Europe and how best to prepare their applications.
We were approached by five different European teams and had great conversations with them to try and give them the most information possible so that they can prepare. We're looking forward to their applications and you should all be excited – all five are amazing locations and would make great host cities for the camp.
We're excited to announce that the call for hosts for WordCamp Europe 2017 is officially open.
The decision
The choice of which city to host WordCamp Europe for each year is made by the organising team of the previous year based on applications that European communities submit, much like a standard WordCamp application, just on a different scale.
We have to consider many different aspects of the application – location, experience of the local team, venue availability and dates, how well established the local community is, how easy it is for people to attend and many more. Curious about the process? Read how we selected Vienna to host in 2016.
Apply to host WordCamp Europe 2017
The application process is now open and we would love to have you on board. To apply, you need to prepare a budget and fill out an application form. The call for hosting WordCamp Europe 2017 will be open until February 12th. A final decision will be made by March 18th.
Apply to host from here
We're looking forward to your applications!
