|Looking slightly worse for wear and pregnant with Ned
Hearing the news today of the pregnancy of the Duchess of Cambridge I was genuinely surprised at how soon she was considering another child. Then I spotted an article on the pro's and con's of a two year age gap I was surprised that it was quite so much, surprised because this is the gap between my two eldest children. This age gap has actually worked really well for us and people often think that they are twins; the fact that my daughter is quite tall and my son quite small is a factor, if they were built differently people might think twice.
Aside from terrible SPD I suffered really badly with heartburn in pregnancy and I can remember sitting at my desk literally swigging from a bottle of Gaviscon in an attempt to feel reasonably alright. There were times when I couldn't eat anything and times when I craved really dense food to try to keep the acids down. I don't think this worked, but a lot of it in pregnancy is all about hormones and your mental state of mind!
For me the heartburn got progressively worse as my pregnancy developed every single time and by the third pregnancy I was actually really frightened that it would all get a bit too much for me. Heartburn is actually quite debilitating by its very nature and so I did a bit of research on the causes of heartburn which are varied and can be very individual. The heartburn was far far worse with Fifi, I don't know if its because she was a girl but I do think they may also be something in that old wives tale about the baby having more hair if you get heartburn as she was born with a thick head of hair. Needless to say it almost immediately all fell out and she then spent much of her toddler hood virtually bald.
However awful my experiences with heartburn and SPD were, I cant imagine what the Duchess of Cambridge is going through as apparently she is suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum a second time. A friend of mine suffered with this debilitating condition in pregnancy and I can vouch that it is far worse than anything I suffered and literally left her bed bound for days on end. I don't know how you cope with this sort of thing, I think I would have been put off pregnancy and been traumatised for a very long time!
I think the thing to remember during pregnancy and the thing which kept me going thorough my three pregnancies, and actually the subsequent difficult moments with the babies, was that all of it is just a phase. By that I mean that however hard things seem, however much you feel like crying because you've run out of Gaviscon or it just feels like the end of the world and you cant cope with another toddler tantrum, it is a moment in time and it will pass. I've used the Internet as a source of support and advice and in the depths of night it has stopped me from going mad. I cant offer much pregnancy advice, but what I can say is that someone, somewhere will have been there and done that and actually that's part of joining this special club: being a mummy.

Mace's Greek Chicken Pizza
Recipe by le squee wow
This is one I made up on a night when I wanted something a little different and cleaned out the fridge instead of running to the store. You can adjust the tomatoes and onions to suit your taste; it's also good with a clove of crushed garlic. You can use a prepared crust or make your own.
Top Review by FLKeysJen
Outstanding invention! The pizza takes on the flavor of the hummus so the quality of your hummus will make a big difference! I only needed 1/2 pound chicken (about 1/2 breast) and one cup mozzarella. This is quite filling but still serves more like 3 people...maybe four with a side salad. Next time I'm going to try adding some artichoke hearts. Thanks for a tasty recipe!
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 prepared pizza crust
- 226.79 g container hummus (flavor of your choice)
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
- all purpose Greek seasoning
- diced tomato (as desired)
- diced onion (as desired)
- 118.29 ml crumbled feta cheese (approximate) or 118.29 ml grated feta cheese (approximate)
- 473.18 ml shredded mozzarella cheese
- olive oil
Directions See How It's Made
- Dice and cook chicken breast in a little olive oil; season with Greek seasoning. Set aside when cooked through.
- Brush pizza crust lightly with olive oil. Spread hummus in a circle on crust (like it's pizza sauce) with the back of a large spoon.
- Top with diced tomatoes and onions and spread diced chicken evenly over top.
- Top all this with mozzarella cheese, then feta.
- Bake until cheese is bubbly and pizza is heated through. (For temperature I usually refer to the recommended instructions of whatever type of pizza crust I'm using).

Hi everyone,
The wiki is an encyclopedia that everyone can edit, and the trading page is supposed to be a small part of the wiki. Maintaining an informational site is different from maintaining a trading site. In order for someone to be an admin, he/she will have to know how to edit the articles.

Laker girls' golf team claims second-straight state championship
JORDAN - The season of domination for the Detroit Lakes girls' golf team came to the ending many thought it would, as Class 2A state champions for the second year in a row.
Not only did the Lakers clinch the state title by 31 strokes over second-place Minnewaska, they also had co-medalists in junior Natalie Roth and freshman Kate Smith, who each finished with a 108.
The path to winning their state title and completing their first ever undefeated season took a little longer than expected, after entering Wednesday's second round at the Ridges at Sand Creek Golf Course in Jordan leading Minnewaska by 19 strokes.
A five-hour rain delay pushed back all the boys' and girls' tee times and forced the MSHSL to cut the tournament to nine holes Wednesday.
But even Mother Nature couldn't deny the Lakers their gold-place finish, as DL netted a 448, after shooting a 297 Tuesday and a 151 nine-hole score Wednesday.
"There was a lot of pressure and expectations put on us all season and to finally win it all again, it's a big relief," said Smith, who also repeated as the Class 2A medalist.
After shooting a 297 in the first round Tuesday, which was just one stroke shy off the all-time state record held by Minnewaska, the Lakers had a 19-stroke cushion, which looked even more comfortable when the thunderstorms forced the second round to nine holes.
The biggest intrigue heading into the second day was the race for medalist honors, which Roth entered the day holding a two-stroke lead on Smith after shooting a two-under par 70.
Roth finished shooting a two-over par 38, while Smith shot an even par 36, to tie with a 108.
The two Lakers missed birdie putts on the 18th green to ensure both would tie.
"I don't know if it's karma or what, that we both missed our putts on 18," Smith said. "I never would wish Natalie to play bad, so I just went into today focused on playing well."
Roth started out her round by making birdie on her first hole (which was hole 10, since the girls played the back nine and the boys the front nine).
That was enough to settle her nerves and play a solid two-over par nine 38.
"I was definitely anxious to get out there and play after that long rain delay and making birdie on my first hole gave me a lot of confidence," Roth said. "It's just amazing to finish as (co-medalist), it's just another item I can check off the list."
It's a list which is growing shorter and shorter overall for the Lakers, as they notched another goal by taking back-to-back titles.
Junior Trisa Hutchinson also was able to check off an item, after finishing as an All-State golfer by finishing seventh overall with a score of 77-37-114.
"It's unbelievable and a feeling like one in a million," Hutchinson said of state title No. 3 for the Laker girls' program. "Now, 295 is a big goal of ours. I just feel so lucky being on a team like this and I am not taking this feeling for granted."
Sophomore Sydney Busker also had a breakout state meet after finishing 10th overall with a 78-40-118. Her 78 Tuesday was a season low score and she finished as DL's fourth scorer, after entering the state meet as the team's No. 6 golfer.
"I'm so happy for Sydney and so very proud for her," said DL head coach Cali Harrier. "She has been so consistent this season and I'm so glad she is peaking at the right time.
"We were in a unique situation today, since this is the first nine-hole day tournament we've ever played. And for Kate and Natalie to be co-medalist, it's typical of the season we've had, because we've had so many girls go low for us."
Juniors Emma Thompson and Section 8-2A medalist Matty Tschider had solid performances by tying for 18th overall with a 125.
"This was Emma's first year in a state tournament and she played well," Harrier said. "And Matty just was her consistent self all year. Trisa has been a leader in every meet and is just a comeback kid, because she can go for bogey on one hole and strike for birdie on the next."
But what's remarkable about this Laker team is they will have two state medalists returning next season, along with the entire team back five players who have won two state championships and one who now has one state title underneath her belt.
All six have shot under 80 at one time or another and seven times, four golfers have shot under 80 in the same meet.
"I never had a doubt my team would not pull through this," Roth said. "Winning two team state championships is huge and we all push each other to be as competitive as we can be."
So is three-peat already in the works for the Lakers?
Harrier won't predict that, but she will say next season will be a fun one with new goals already being set.
"The fun part in all this, is we get to come back next year and try and do it again," the DL coach said. "These girls are still very hungry and motivated to do it again."
That's all which needs to be said for a team which is teetering on the brink of being considered a dynasty in Minnesota golf.

|(sorry, not a great picture, but hopefully, you get the idea)
Have you ever have an evening where you stand in front of the refrigerator for what seems like hours, trying to figure out what's for supper? Especially when you're nearing the end of your grocery week, and there is almost no food left? I'm sure you haven't. Fortunately for us both, I had just such an evening a few weeks ago, and as I was searching through my recipes to see if there was anything that I could concoct within a very short period of time, and with very few ingredients, I happened to come across this one. Tuscan Panzanella. It is an Italian salad made with toasted bread and tomatoes, and it is heavenly. It is simple and light, yet incredibly flavorful. The taste of the fresh tomatoes and basil combine with the crunch of the toasted bread and cucumbers…ahhh. It is delicious. (The kids love it too!)
Tuscan Panzanella
5-6 slices bread (I use Ezekial bread)
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 cucumber
1/4 cup sliced kalamata olives
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
crumbled or cubed feta to suit your tastes (we use lots!)
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/8 tsp salt
black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 300. Meanwhile, cut bread into 3/4-inch cubes. Spread in an even layer on baking sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes or until dry and crisp. Cool to room temperature. Chop tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, onion, and feta, and combine in a large bowl. Whisk together olive oil, vinegar, basil, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Add toasted bread cubes to the already chopped ingredients, and toss gently with dressing to combine. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

SERVICES which are available to senior residents of Wyre Forest were showcased at Kidderminster Town Hall.
The event, opened by BBC Midlands Today presenter Nick Owen, offered free information and advice regarding healthy living, finances, benefits and local services to older people.
More than 200 people attended the event, which featured activities, demonstrations and sessions from 30 organisations which support the elderly.
Organisations which attended the showcase included the MS Society, Tax Help for Older People, Wyre Forest Community Housing, Alzheimer's Society and Stroke Association.
The day was run by Age UK Wyre Forest, whose chief officer, Steve Blick, said it was something the charity organises as a responsibility to the community.
"For the past two years we have taken on the responsibility to run the showcase, as we see it as our service to the elderly people of Wyre Forest," he explained.
"We are pleased to be able to engage with a lot of elderly people across Wyre Forest in this way.
"Nick Owen was great. He was surprised with the number of organisations that are out there to help senior members of the area.
"One of the comments he made was that there were many organisations at the showcase which people do not know about so it's a good opportunity for them to put their names out there."
Various activities were available for visitors to join in with throughout the day, such as laughter yoga, cookery demonstrations and gentle exercise routines.
Mr Blick said: "All the activities were very popular with the visitors and a lot of people took part in them.
"One of the favourites was the sitting down circle dancing, which provides exercise for people who have limited mobility.
"The whole day went according to plan and the feedback we received from the exhibitors and the visitors was very positive."

Don Johnson made his name playing a cop called Sonny Crockett in the glossy and expensive – each episode cost $1m to make – 1980s TV series, Miami Vice. In the process, says Kevin Maher in The Times, he "brought designer stubble and pastel T-shirts to the world" and became "a global pin-up".
With the fame and the fortune – and thanks in no small part to his good looks – came a life of dizzying excess.
Johnson found himself at a stream of Florida parties filled, he says, with "politicians, state senators, drug dealers, police and the best-looking hookers in the business.
And at first it was like, 'Oh, so everybody knows everybody?' For years I'd been concerned about carrying drugs around, and all these motherf***ers, police included, are carrying drugs around? And their drugs are better than mine? Hahahaha!"
There weren't many nights curled up on the sofa in front of the television. If he was at home, Johnson would get on the phone. "There were five modelling agencies in Miami and I would invite five models from each agency, and three or four male friends," he tells Maher – and pauses, looking for a suitable way to put it before settling on: "We had a lot of fun!"
He felt, he told The Daily Telegraph's Chrissy Iley, like "the sex idol of the universe". It was all too much. The instant fame overwhelmed him.
He and his co-star, Philip Michael Thomas, even made the cover of Time magazine. As a 12-year-old, he'd been sent to reform school for stealing a car; now he was the highest-paid man in television.
"I couldn't go anywhere… If I went anywhere I had to take all this security with me and prep it ahead of time. It was like a goddam military operation."
In the late 1990s, however, his career went into decline and he struggled for a decade with substance abuse. He put on weight and went through what he calls a "fat Elvis" period. Happily, that's all in the past. Now, says Maher, he's trim, tanned and, at 64, enjoying some late success – his new role is in a cowboy film noir called Cold in July.
As for the 'new Don' – this came into being six or seven years ago when he was sitting outside his ranch at Aspen. Suddenly, he says, he realised the boats, planes and houses were making him miserable. He owes his recovery to a "world view that's part Buddhist, part New Age self-help", according to Maher.
He claims he's even conquered his fear of death – and he's a better father too, to his five children, who include Dakota Johnson, future star of the film version of Fifty Shades of Grey.
It all sounds very New Age. "I find happiness in the littlest of things, the simplest of things," he tells Chrissy Iley. "There's a quote from Nietzsche which goes something like this: 'Happiness is the least of things, the lightest thing, a breath, a lizard's rustle, an iris. Little maketh the best happiness. Be still'."
Ah well. Perhaps he'll help Dakota keep her feet on the ground as he, for a while at least, failed to do.
Tabloid money: why Wonga's bosses should be behind bars
• It is a mistake to see last week's "ugly demonstration of Brussels-style arm-twisting, chicanery and treachery as a humiliation of David Cameron," says Trevor Kavanagh in The Sun.
"If anything it is Angela Merkel whose fabled reputation for soft but deadly diplomacy is in tatters… But it is the European Union itself that emerges at its shabbiest, treacherous worst… I am told Mr Cameron will signal shortly that – without real EU reform on immigration and other key demands – he will indeed lead an OUT campaign in Britain's 2017 referendum."
And since he's unlikely to wring many concessions out of Jean-Claude Juncker, "the clock on Britain's membership is already ticking".
• "What a waste of money! The British taxpayer has so far shelled out an obscene £33m on assorted inquisitions into the newspaper industry," says Tony Parsons in The Sun. "Seems a bit steep. The eight-month, £100m phone-hacking trial was the most expensive in British legal history, yet it secured just one conviction… And the bitter truth is that we don't yet know how much this ham-fisted witch-hunt is going to cost [in all]."
Consider what the money that's been spent could have bought: "£33m would have paid a year's salary for 1,200 NHS nurses. It could have put 3,000 students through university… Or those wasted millions could have been spent fighting the greatest threat to our country – home-grown terrorists", especially since the counter-terrorism budget has been slashed from £30m a year to £15m.
• "Why haven't the bosses at Wonga had their greedy backsides dragged into court for sending threatening fake legal letters to people who owed them money?" asks Carole Malone in the Sunday Mirror.
"It's bad enough these companies are allowed to rip people off with 5,000% APR interest rates." But to threaten desperate people with legal action is "despicable. Fining a firm like Wonga a pitiful £2.6m won't even make a dent in its £84m profits". Why not put the bosses "behind bars" for a few months?

With albums bombing left and right, Beyoncé went all drone warfare at year's end: The R&B diva's digital release of a self-titled collection of 14 songs and videos came right out of the blue. According to Apple, 828,773 copies of the electro-souled Beyoncé sold worldwide in its first three days, making it the fastest-selling album in iTunes history.
Beyoncé's blitzkrieg was a stunning reversal in a year when music was a tougher sell than ever before. By packaging her product as a "visual album," with each song accompanied by a brand new video, and with the downright stealthy nature of the release, the launch of Beyoncé was a pop-culture event in itself, quite apart from the actual music.
She wasn't the only innovative marketer in a year when it became clear that the old strategies of selling records no longer work. In the week following the October release of Katy Perry's Prism, U.S. album sales (tabulated since 1991 by Nielsen SoundScan) fell to a new low – in a month when they traditionally begin spiking. Perry's disc had a solid first week: her best ever, with 286,000 copies sold. It's worth noting, though, that Prism's numbers would not be matched by the next eight titles – including Drake's Nothing Was the Same and Pearl Jam's Lightning Bolt – combined.
There is no longer any depth to the charts. Drop-week successes like Perry's represent sales to the diehard fans. After that, the numbers tend to drop dramatically. Miley Cyrus, for example, had the twerk but not the torque. Two weeks after her Bangerz debuted at No. 1 on Billboard, the album fell to fourth place, with a paltry 43,000 copies sold that week.
Nobody can say they didn't see this coming. Plunging sales have forced creative thinking and tinkering in the past. Prince tucked copies of his Planet Earth into a British tabloid newspaper in 2007. That same year, Radiohead employed a pay-what-you-can scheme for In Rainbows.
In 2013, however, the marketing of an album drop, as Beyoncé's non-campaign shows, came in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some schemes worked and some did not, but it is evident now that doing the same old thing is no longer an option.
Okay, you're a recording artist. What are you to do to sell your brand? Well, there are options.
You could forget the notion of the album as "statement," and just put out an LP of dynamite tracks
Billboard just named Bruno Mars its artist of the year, and it wasn't just because of the sales of his Unorthodox Jukebox (though the album, released late in 2012, did come in at No. 4, trailing One Direction's Take Me Home, Taylor Swift's Red and Justin Timberlake's year-end chart-topper The 20/20 Experience). No, Mars is a singles machine: Locked Out of Heaven and When I Was Your Man both reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100, and Treasure made it to No. 5. The dude gets radio play, and there is no publicity better than that.
You could play one song for hours
Also in May, in advance of the release of its sixth album, Trouble Will Find Me, the brooding indie rockers the National played their older tune Sorrow for six hours straight in a collaboration with the artist Ragnar Kjartansson. The one-song show took place at MoMA PS1, a contemporary arts institution in Queens, N.Y.
A press release from the gallery read: "By stretching a single pop song into a day-long tour de force, the artist continues his explorations into the potential of repetitive performance to produce sculptural presence within sound." (This is a touch more cultured than any high concept of Lady Gaga. This year the meat-dressed pop star released Artpop, a disappointing disc with a title track that has her copping out. "Art pop," she sings, "could mean anything.")
In July, Jay Z took the National's six-hour marathon idea and ran with it. For a video, the entrepreneurial rapper performed his song Picasso Baby for six consecutive hours at New York's Pace Gallery. There, the ball-cap-wearing Brooklynite danced with a variety of stars and personalities, including artist Marina Abramovic.
You could put your face on a building
In May, the unbearable Kanye West gave the world its first official sampling of his Yeezus album by projecting the video to the audacious song New Slaves on buildings the world over, including the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. West did not debut his new creation on iTunes or YouTube. His publicity was an event.
You could play a rooftop
In contrast to some of the more nuanced acts of album promotion, Paul McCartney pulled out old tricks for his album New. Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the 71-year-old mop-topper performed on top of a Hollywood Boulevard rooftop, just as he did in 2009 in New York for David Letterman's show and just as he did as a member of the Beatles on top of Apple Studios in 1969. But note, New sold under 70,000 copies in the United States in its first week. A roof? We already saw him standing there.
You could go undercover
No act used more craft in its publicity approach than Arcade Fire, the artful Montreal rockestra that pumped its album Reflektor with a string of "secret" club shows, teaser videos, enigmatic billboard ads and worldwide viral graffiti. The band members, disguised with giant papier mâché heads, called themselves the Reflektors. And when its much-anticipated and laboured-upon album leaked online prematurely, Arcade Fire streamed the songs on its own website, with the 1959 Brazilian film Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus) as visual accompaniment.
Detractors will say that Arcade Fire, which encourages fans to dress in formal wear or costumes for its concerts, is conceited, and that those giant fake heads are life-size. The Grammy-winning band should pay the naysayers no mind. If anyone is pretentious, it's the acts who cling to old ways and assume the public will automatically buy their albums.
You could go serial
Justin Bieber employed a "Music Monday" scheme that involved the weekly drop of a new single. For a limited time (Dec. 16 to Jan. 2), those 10 singles plus five unreleased tracks are available on iTunes as the compilation Journals.
You could die
Sales of Lou Reed's solo albums jumped six-fold upon the news of his death in October.
Or, like Beyoncé, you could do nothing
David Bowie and My Bloody Valentine both went sneak-attack with their comeback albums this year. They didn't return to engage in the same old game.
"I didn't want to release my music the way I've done it," Beyoncé' said in a statement. "I am bored with that." Her label, Sony, declared this in a press release: "Stripped of gimmicks, teasers and marketing campaigns, this project is truly about art before hype."
But, really, it was a stunt, and only something a god or goddess could pull off. The hard fact is that albums by mere mortals don't sell much any more. So the innovative artist goes the other way, which is to craft a creative promotional campaign, with the aim of distinguishing your album as something significant beyond crass commercial concerns. You align yourself with the sophisticates. Your promotion is not persuasion; it is performance art in and of itself. And your album is precious, not disposable.

Maybe director James Wan, who shares writing credits with Leigh Whannell, is still figuring out life after death. Anyway, The Further -- which two years ago we called "a reasonably ambitious Halloween house" between the world of the living and Paradise -- is merely a darkened studio set with fog machines.
Sometimes the righteous among the dolorously departed therein, needing light to spot their pals, carry Coleman lanterns -- sort of like Diogenes looking for an honest man. Lots of moaning goes on there as well.
In the original, Wan and Whannell only sent one child, Dalton Lambert (Ty Simpkins) into this less-than-great beyond during one of his dream trances, and father Josh (Patrick Wilson) had to go after him. This time, Josh starts out occupied by a dead person's spirit, which sets up further spooky doings; up to four characters at a time, including Dalton, are Further-bound.
You'd think the Lambert family might want to move out of their charming Victorian gingerbread house, or at least buy some WD-40 for all those creaking doors. But no, they stay to tough it out with the spirit world.
Their place is haunted -- well, pestered by -- two demonic ghoulies. One, Parker Crane, was a serial killer known as the "Bride in Black" because he wore a wedding gown while slaying 15 people.
Though dead, Parker (played by various actors and stunt people) continues to have anger issues because his mother (Danielle Bisutti) -- our other unfriendly ghost -- used to dress him up as a girl.
No one tries any exorcising; baseball bats and fists are the preferred weapons for the finale in the basement. We also learn, thanks to a visit to a boarded-up hospital with an intact records room, that Parker was a Catholic. Happily, this informational nugget is not developed.
Ghostbusters Specs and Tucker (Whannell and Angus Sampson) return for comic relief, and actress Elise Rainier -- whose character, medium Lin Shaye, was killed in the first film -- evidently signed a two-picture contract.
The film contains physical violence, intense scenes involving children and fleeting profane and crude language. The Catholic News Service classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

It's suddenly fashionable to look to China as an up-and-coming economic force, a trend that has drawn billions of dollars in foreign investment into an economy that only 25 years ago grudgingly began to move away from a Soviet-style, centrally planned system. In fits and starts, the autocratic leadership has gradually loosened commercial controls, but its unpredictability and protectionist trade policies meant a lot of risk to outside investors, many of whom over the years learned some costly lessons about the rather casual Chinese attitude toward contracts with outsiders.
Today, with its accession into the World Trade Organization and continuing efforts to strengthen its unevenly applied civil and commercial codes, China has seen unprecedented interest in business partnerships from outside its boundaries. So it came as little surprise when not long after Avic I Commercial Aircraft Company (ACAC) unveiled plans for the ARJ21 regional jet, a host of Western suppliers signed on, hoping to gain a foothold in the world's fastest-growing economy, now second only to the U.S. in per-capita GDP as measured in purchasing power parity.
The ARJ21 program partners–a consortium led by government-controlled AVIC I and in which 15 separate shareholders hold an interest–have now recruited no fewer than 10 major U.S. and European aerospace components suppliers to contribute to the effort, expected to yield a completed prototype ready to fly by mid-2006. During Singapore's Asian Aerospace exhibition in late February, ACAC vice president for procurement and supply Tao Zhihui told AIN that engineers continue to meet all program development milestones on time, and that by year-end the company will have released 90 percent of the design's structural drawings to the various partners.
Major suppliers to the ARJ21 effort include GE Aircraft Engines, which ACAC has recruited to adapt yet another variant of its CF34 line–the 18,000-pound-thrust CF34-10A– for its rear fuselage-mounted powerplant requirement. Another U.S. company, Rockwell Collins, has agreed to supply its Pro Line 21 avionics suite, while Phoenix-based Honeywell will contribute the primary flight controls. Other suppliers include Parker Hannifin (hydraulic and fuel systems), Hamilton Sundstrand (APU and electrical power system), Kidde (fire-suppression system), Liebherr Aerospace (landing gear and environmental control system), Sagem (cockpit flight control system), Eaton (cockpit panel assemblies and lighting controls) and Goodrich (tires and brakes).
Despite its ambitions to market the airplane elsewhere in Asia, ACAC has yet to recruit a supplier from the region outside China.
Douglas Heritage
Looking conspicuously similar to a Douglas DC-9 and sporting the same 3+2 interior seating arrangement, an extended range, baseline-capacity ARJ21 would carry between 78 and 85 passengers as far as 2,000 nm at a cruise speed of Mach 0.78. A proposed stretched version, to follow in a timeframe defined by future market interest, would carry between 98 and 105 passengers as far as 1,800 nm, said Tao.
The certification program calls for roughly a year-and-a-half of flight testing with three flying prototypes and a pair of static ground-test articles.
The ARJ21 will owe much of its design heritage and appearance to a partnership formed in 1992 between McDonnell Douglas and the China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation (CATIC) to co-produce MD-90s in China for the domestic market. A contract revision signed in November 1994 reduced the number of Chinese-built airplanes in half, to 20, and called for the direct purchase of another 20 U.S.-built aircraft. By 1998, however, three years after the U.S. Department of Commerce found that the Chinese illegally diverted some sophisticated machine tools to military aircraft factories, only three shipsets of parts had ever arrived at the final assembly site in Shanghai. Although the Chinese shipped all the tooling back to Shanghai, it never completed an MD-90.
The four Chinese factories involved in the MD-90 program included the Shanghai Aviation Industrial Corp., Xian Aircraft Co., Chengdu Aircraft Co. and Shenyang Aircraft Co.–the very same entities now involved in the ARJ21. As in the case of the MD-90, the Shanghai facility has taken responsibility for the horizontal stabilizer and final assembly. Xian Aircraft, maker of wing sections for the Airbus A320, Boeing 737 and ATR 42/72, would build the airplane's wings and fuselage sections. Chengdu Aircraft, located some 400 miles southwest of Xian, would build the nose section, while Shenyang Aircraft supplies the empennage.
Scheduled to enter its detailed development phase next month, the ARJ21 would use a supercritical wing designed by Ukraine's Antonov. To speed a decision on the final wing configuration, ACAC has commissioned four separate wind-tunnel testing regimes, said Tao, under way simultaneously at Antonov, TsAGI in Russia and at state facilities in Holland and China.
The ACAC official said the government projects a need for as many as 500 airplanes over the course of a 20-year production run, scheduled to start with CAAC certification at the end of 2007. The partners plan a production rate of three per month within "one or two years" of then, said Tao. Shanghai, which now employs some 7,000 workers, will use its MD-90 tooling to assemble the ARJ21.
So far three Chinese customers have signed contracts to take delivery of 35 airplanes. State-controlled Shandong Airlines, based in the eastern city of Jinan, has signed for 10 of the airplanes to replace seven Bombardier CRJ200s and two CRJ700s. Yet another Chinese CRJ operator, Shanghai Airlines, has ordered five ARJ21s, while the program's largest customer–Shenzhen Financial Leasing Co.–has spoken for 20.

Someone at AMC is getting in trouble for this one. A listing for a special edition Walking Dead season two Blu-ray set is up for pre-order, and its product description appears to reveal a death of one big character.
Obvious spoiler warning!
The blurb below, found on this page, suggests Shane will die:
This special limited edition Blu-Ray includes all 13 episodes on 4 discs, including bonus features such as: the making of the barn, an extended zombie gut scene, Shane's last episode, full Comic Con coverage with panel, comic book vs episode comparison, and more!
The 4-disc Blu-ray set is to be available this August. We're bummed we were spoiled, but it had been expected John Bernthal was leaving the show after murmurs said he was in talks to be cast in L.A. Noir.
The character of Shane dies very early on in the comic series, so this won't come as a surprise to those who've read the comics.

Courtesy of DC MPD's Crime and Activity Statistics webpage I was able to create a Google Map of year-to-date crime activity in the Triangle. The MPD tool allows you to specify the details of your report. I exported the report as a KML file and then imported it into Google Maps.
The image above is a thumbnail of the Crime Map. For the full effect, click through to the Google Map. Once on the google map click on the pushpins for descriptions of the crimes. Most are theft from autos but there is a car jacking, a pair of muggings on 5th Street, and a few ADWs. For help deciphering the shorthand notation in the descriptions or other general knowledge behind MPD's crime maps, please visit the DC MPD Crime Incidents Abstract.
Note: While the number of year-to-date MVT crime incidents on the map may seem high – many neighborhoods had exponentially many more. The Downtown BID had more year-to-date incidents then the KML export tool could even output.

The Australian government voiced readiness to enhance trade ties with Iran following the termination of anti-Tehran sanctions, Tasnim reported.
"Sectors identified for good early prospects for Australian exporters include agriculture and food; water sustainability and management; education and skills training; and the health care and well-being sectors," the country's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade wrote in "Business Envoy" bulletin published on Saturday, referring to Iran's lucrative market in the post-sanctions era.
"In the medium term there are also likely to be opportunities for Australian companies in mining and oil and gas-related areas," it added.
Meanwhile, Australia's Minister for Trade and Investment Steven Ciobo stressed in the same bulletin that the removal of the sanctions "opens up the real possibilities for trade and investment with the second biggest country in the Middle East".
"There are some unique challenges to doing business in Iran and international competition will be stiff, so it is imperative businesses prepare carefully on the basis of sound advice," Ciobo emphasized.
The comments came ahead of an official visit to Australia by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Zarif, who is in New Zealand as part of his tour of Southeast Asia and Oceania, will head to Australia on Monday.
There has been growing international interest in trade ties with Iran since Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) on July 14, 2015 finalized a comprehensive deal on Tehran's nuclear program and implemented it on January 16.
The comprehensive nuclear deal, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), terminated all nuclear-related sanctions on Iran after coming into force.
Australia says poised to boost trade ties with Iran

The Lie Detector only appeared in "The Ed-Touchables." It was made by Edd to determine if Jonny and Plank were lying. It's performance was slow and may not have adequately assessed the situation, but it reveals that Plank was lying about the missing items. Sensor wires are placed on the vital parts of the subjects face, such as the head, cheek, and tongue. The wires are connected to a toaster. When bread is deposited into the toaster, it powers up. After the subject gives a reply, the wires connected to the toaster somehow transfer their information to the toast. Edd interpenetrates the meaning of the toast and then pegs out his answer on the board.

Rated 5 / 5 stars
Looks really, really, REALLY nice. It's actually refreshing to see a sexy picture that isn't all about sexing things up as much as possible. I have to admit that her hand makes me think of a woman's labias and clitoris though. xD
I'm a pervert with a pervert's imaginative mind that loves to interpret stuff like that. =) REALLY digging this.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Those are some killer curves, very nice.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
What i see is a tsundere glaring at me probably because I'm looking at her massive breasts and ass.
Sexy art.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
no, no, this isn't about shape or tone this, this is about beauty. I can focus more on her red eyes that seem to glare out, and her hand interestingly unique, the rest is intricate, looks complex and well done!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
You're great, Kax! ^^

Yatseniuk demands Russia withdraw troops from Crimea
A. Yatseniuk: We demand from the Government of Russia to immediately withdraw troops from Crimea
01.03.2014 | 11:36
Department of Information and Communication of the Secretariat of the CMU
"Inadequate Russian presence on the Crimean territory is nothing else but provocation. We don't yield to provocations, don't use force. We demand from the Government of the Russian Federation and the leaders of Russia to immediately withdraw the troops and return them to their permanent deployment places," the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arsenii Yatseniuk stated during the session of the Cabinet of Ministers on March 1.
"We consider there is inadequate presence of the Russian military officers in Crimea now. It is nothing else but violation of essential requirements of the Agreement on temporary location of the Black Sea fleet on the Ukraine's territory," the Prime Minister stressed.
According to Arsenii Yatseniuk, the Government realizes there has been a plan to create "the new Ossetia" on the territory of Ukraine – with victims, bloodshed, military and civil conflict.
Therefrom the reaction of Ukraine and Ukrainian authorities was clear – we don't yield to provocations. We don't use force. We demand from the Government of the Russian Federation and the leaders of Russia to immediately withdraw the troops and return them to their permanent deployment, the Head of Ukrainian Government emphasized.
Otherwise, the responsibility for any kind of confrontation that could be caused by those radical forces supported by the Russian military officers in fact shall lie on the Russian Federation and on the leaders of Russia personally, who have instructed to increase military presence on Ukraine's territory, Arsenii Yatseniuk accentuated.
The Head of the Government informed the previous nights he had had telephone talks with US Vice President Joe Biden, European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, German Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel and several foreign affairs ministers of Europe: "The position of our countries-partners is precise – everyone has made strict statements regarding preserving the territorial integrity of Ukraine and none is afforded to intrude into internal matters of Ukraine, by abusing the Agreement on temporary location of the Black Sea fleet on the territory of the Autonomy".
The USA has raised a question of Crimea at the Security Council of the United Nations Organization, the Prime Minister stressed. "The UN Security Council has adopted two decisions – to set up a monitoring group and create immediately an advisory mechanism".
The whole world is following the events and the whole world has expressed support to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukrainian state, he added.
"It is inacceptable when the Russian militarymen are walking with weapon on Ukrainian land, on the territory of the Crimea, in the center of the town. So I reiterate – immediate returning of all the troops of Russia to their permanent deployment places. Russian partners, stop provoking civil military confrontation in Ukraine and fulfill basis requirements of the Agreement," the Prime Minister stressed.

BP Comment Quick Links
July 3, 2014
Minor League Update
Games of Wednesday, July 2
Hitter of the Night: Nomar Mazara and Lewis Brinson, OF, Rangers (Hickory, A-): 2-4, 2 R, 2 HR, K.
Pitcher of the Night: Alex Reyes, RHP, Cardinals (Peoria, A-): 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 7 BB, 10 K.
Best of the Rest
Kyle Kubitza, 3B, Braves (Mississippi, AA): 3-4, 2 R, 2 2B, 3B. The knocks on Kubitza have been his high strikeout totals and concerns about the hit tool, but he's eased at least some of the concerns regarding the latter this season with his best offensive campaign yet.
Albert Almora, OF, Cubs (Daytona, A+): 3-3, 2 R, 2B, BB. A #BPTop50 member, Almora struggled against Florida State League pitching in the first half of the year but is beginning to heat up and justify his lofty rankings. The hit tool is there, and the hard contact will come more and more frequently as he learns how to get his pitch and use his raw talent.
Lucas Giolito, RHP, Nationals (Hagerstown, A-): 7 IP, 4 H, R, 0 BB, 5 K. I was in Lakewood for this start by Giolito, and while he didn't feature the super-premium velocity that he's shown for some of our guys, he did sit comfortably in the 92-95 range and commanded it exceptionally well. With the exception of one fastball, which Dylan Cozens deposited in the center-field bushes, Giolito was never challenged by Lakewood hitters or so much as fazed on the mound. He flashed his curveball, which may one day be a true 80 pitch and isn't far off at present, but he didn't throw many of them, instead focusing on his developing changeup. That pitch showed potential and has good movement in warmups that disappeared when a hitter came to the plate. Still, he threw it consistently for strikes and got plenty of swings and misses with it thanks to an identical arm slot and velocity deception. All in all, an extremely impressive performance that likely wasn't even Giolito at his best.
Austin Meadows, OF, Pirates (GCL, R) 2-2, R, 3B. Meadows has still yet to make an out in the GCL (it's only been two games, but still) and now has three extra-base hits after missing the first three months of the season.
Blake Swihart, C, Red Sox (Portland, AA): 2-4, 2 2B, BB, 2 K. At the start of the season, Swihart wasn't in the same category as Austin Hedges and Jorge Alfaro when it came to catching prospects. But yet another season of controlling the strike zone along with some of his doubles clearing the fence more often (Wednesday not being the best example of that), and it's a legitimate discussion.
Nick Travieso, RHP, Reds (Dayton, A-): 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K. Travieso still isn't showing the kind of impact production you want from the 14th-overall pick and has been passed by Michael Lorenzen on the organizational depth chart, but he's rebounded nicely from a lost 2013 season that really had people questioning his prospect status.
Lewis Thorpe, LHP, Twins (Cedar Rapids, A-): 4 2/3 IP, 5 H, 1 R (0 ER), 0 BB, 8 K. It's been a rough first attempt at full-season baseball for the young Austrailian, but some of that's to be expected. With a track record of throwing strikes and missing bats at the complex level, Thorpe made the Twins comfortable promoting him over short-season ball, and he rewarded them for their confidence on Wednesday.
Fight Another Day
Parker Bridwell, RHP, Orioles (Frederick, A+): 4 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 3 BB, 6 K. The Bridwell Jekyll and Hyde act continues, as it has for years. He's having more good days this season than he has in the past, but he's still a roller coaster from start to start.

I feel like I'm championing this guy, but just like to add: Jimmy Nelson (RHP, Brewers) Nashville, AAA 6.2 IP, 4-H, 0-R, 1-BB, 5-K.

Rowan Wick hit another home run. He should probably move out of the NYPL soon.
Jul 03, 2014 04:44 AM
11HR .400 BA at 21.5 in LoA, yeah, they may want to push the bat unless his glove is that bad. He does have a couple C prospects in front of him which may be keeping him down for the work.
Jul 03, 2014 07:59 AM
Lewis Brinson 2nd 2 HR gm of the week and 5 overall I believe. His K% is down from 35% to 24%, BB% up from 5% to 10%. Isn't time for HiA? ,950+ OPS, great CF glove, great makeup.
Jul 03, 2014 07:53 AM
.400 OBP, .980 OPS, .440 wOBP...Only his .400 BABIP is fueling the .330 BA, but with his bat Spd and Spd the BABIP in the MiLs may be high for career. Right?
Jul 03, 2014 07:56 AM
Who have been the players that most exceeded their pre-season ranking at pitcher, catcher and position player other than catcher? Reasonable answers are Henry Owens, Blake Swihart and Mookie Betts. It is interesting that all these players are in one organization.

A KIND-HEARTED eight-year-old girl has had ten inches chopped off her long hair to help make wigs for children with cancer.
New Earswick School pupil Katy Jefferson has raised more than £350 for The Little Princess Trust after being sponsored to have her hair cut and then donating her plaits to make wigs for children who have lost their hair through illnesses, including cancer.
Her mum Nicola, who works for Martin House Children's Hospice, said the haircut was Katy's own decision to support her godmother, Caroline Fletcher, from Strensall, who is fighting breast cancer and wears a wig.
Mrs Jefferson said: "Caroline is my best friend and Katy's godmother. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer in June last year it was a huge shock and she has recently been undergoing chemotherapy and lost her hair.
"Katy really wanted to do something to help."
The haircut took place on Friday at GB's Hair Salon in Burnholme.
Caroline, who works as a finance manager at Joseph Rowntree School in New Earswick, said: "I am so proud of Katy for doing this and would just like to say a huge thank you to her. I am very touched that an eight-year-old, who I have known since she was born, would think to do this.
"When you are in the situation I am in, you really appreciate your family and friends.
"I have a wig myself, and though I don't think I'll ever get used to wearing it, they are very important to people who lose their hair."
The Little Princess Trust is the charity to which pop singer Jessie J donated her hair after she had her head shaved last year. It provides real-hair wigs to boys and girls across the UK and Ireland.

Author, dramatist and satirist, Nikolay Gogol (1809-1852) deeply influenced later Russian literature with his powerful depictions of a society dominated by petty bureaocracy and base corruption.
This volume includes both his most admired short fiction and his most famous drama. A biting and frequently hilarious political satire, The Government Inspector has been popular since its first performance and was regarded by Nabokov as the greatest Russian play every written. The stories gathered here, meanwhile, range from comic to tragic and describe the isolated lives of low-ranking clerks, lunatics and swindlers. They include Diary of a Madman, an amusing but disturbing exploration of insanity; Nevsky Prospect, a depiction of an artist besotted with a prostitute; and The Overcoat, a moving consideration of poverty that powerfully influenced Dostoevsky and later Russian literature.

Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) March 15, 2014
Specialty enzymes are natural proteins produced from micro organisms, plants and animals. An enzyme serves as catalysts for the chemical process that include the production of pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, research & biotechnology, and biocatalytic solutions. Enzymes increase reaction rates by decreasing the amount of energy required to form a complex of reactants that is competent to produce reaction products. Specialty enzymes according to their type are classified as carbohydrases, proteases, polymerases and nucleases, lipases, and others.
Specialty enzymes report covers analysis of the market structure by identifying various sub-segments of the global specialty enzymes market, Revenue forecasts of the global specialty enzymes markets and its various sub-markets/micro-markets with respect to four main regions- North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). Major trends, drivers, and restraints of the global specialty enzymes market are identified and explained in detail. Complete report on Specialty Enzymes Market at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/specialty-enzymes-market-by-source-microorganism-plant-animal-type-carbohydrases-protease-lipase-polymerases-nucleases-application-pharmaceutical-research-biotechnology-diagnostic-b-market-report.html.
Specialty enzyme usage in the pharmaceutical industry is mainly for drug manufacture, disease diagnostics, or as therapy. Increasing implication of enzymes in therapies for diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, lysosomal storage disorders, pain and inflammation management, among others, is a tidal force that fuels market demand. Enzyme demand in the research and biotechnology end-market would benefit from the fall in DNA sequencing costs and the increase of new sequencing techniques. The vast majority of enzymes used in research and biotechnology, which spans over 80%of the demand, are devoted to DNA amplification and sequencing.

Carbohydrase has major applications within the baking industry, thus making it the largest type of baking enzyme used, followed by protease and lipase. China and the U.S. are important players in this market due to the extensive demand for baked products here. The segments of the baking enzymes market include types, applications, and geography. The market includes the applications of such as breads, cakes & pastries, biscuits & cookies, and others. The functions of baking enzymes in the bakery industry include dough improvement, extension of shelf life, enhanced crumb structure, prolonged softness, superior texture, and better appearance. All functions of baking enzymes have been considered in the study and the market has been segmented based on the same. Purchase a copy of Baking Enzymes Market Report at http://www.rnrmarketresearch.com/contacts/purchase?rname=156342.
The global industrial enzymes market consists of various enzymes, which can be broadly categorized as carbohydrases, proteases, lipases, and others. Carbohydrase is the fastest growing segment of this market in terms of growth rate. Carbohydrases form the major class of enzymes that catalyzes the breakdown of carbohydrates into simple sugar.
Enzymes are gaining importance in various industrial products and processes due to effective catalytic properties exhibited by them. New developments in biotechnology and protein engineering provide a platform for the development of new enzymes efficiently; hence new enzymes with improved properties are increasingly being used for technical applications as well as in the unexplored field of their usage.

One of the important uses of industrial enzymes is in the cleaning agents industry. Proteases, amylases, lipases, and celluloses are used for this purpose. These enzymes render powerful stain removing techniques and other benefits such as fabric care, whiteness, and color fastened fabrics. Enzymes have been extensively used in animal feed additives to provide healthy feed supplements for feed products.
The global industrial enzyme market can be classified on the basis of enzyme types, its application, and the geographic segmentation that signifies the importance of the global industrial enzyme sector in important economic zones of the world. Developing regions are expected to emerge as the fastest growing consumers of industrial enzymes for food and feed applications, as an increase in the per capita income of these regions would continue to drive the demand for meat.

Q: Your coach has come under fire recently for suggesting that Jay@Section204 should be violently assaulted. Do you have any comments?
A: I'm going to be totally honest with you here. I really don't have any use for Steeler fans. And while I think that Btown is probably the single largest p***y on the planet, I think he should do anything possible to shatter at least one kneecap of Jay's if he has the opportunity.
Hmmmmm, I'd have to agree.
Q: It seemed like at least three times Rams players – defensive players – got convenient cramps. Can anything be done about that?
A: I'm not sure (Rams defensive end) Leonard Little's cramps were anything but cramps. Corey Ivy had to be taken from the field and IVed. Those two were legitimate. The answer to your question is I think nothing can be done about it, because it only happens with us. It's not something that the league necessarily cares about. That wasn't the case in the olden days. If you remember, when Cincinnati ran the Sugar Huddle, the Commissioner actually stepped in in the championship game and made a rule that the defense has the right to match up if the offense substitutes and snaps the ball quickly. We do not substitute, so we can sometimes catch people changing and we did Monday night. But ever since (New England Patriots linebacker) Willie McGinest underwent surgery at the end of the game out on the field (in 2003) everyone else has done it and no one in the league office really cares about it.
And this pisses me off more than anything. I hate this so much. And all my friends look at me like I'm some idiot lunatic. Grr

"None of this should be surprising, coming as it does from a disgraced former tabloid editor and ex-talent show judge. Indeed, a quick look at Morgan's oeuvre, which includes stints at the News of the World, which was shuttered during the phone hacking scandal, and the Daily Mirror, from which he was fired for publishing fake photos of British soldiers abusing Iraqi prisoners, and one understands that Morgan is incapable of nuance."

Typography Biography
de Sophia Kerschbaum
Acerca del libro
Typography Biography is my senior thesis at Maryland Institute College of Art (2012). This book combines two worlds that one would usually not think of putting together: typography and cartoon anthropomorphic characters. This juxtaposition, while unconventional, makes typography and its history more accessible through this "adult children's" book. A lot of effort was put into this book, and maybe a few sleepless nights, but I hope you enjoy it as much as I had creating and designing it!

If we remember back to the nexus one, I believe it had a curved glass front as well, just curved slightly from top to bottom... i was never clear on why, but if it was to protect it from some scratches that is cool, until gorilla glass made scratches obsolete, lol. I like some of the ideas here, and can't wait to see what they put in the next nexus. Personally I hope that they dump samsung as the manufacturer though, I do not like the plastic phones, and would rather see HTC or their own Motorola take over now... they do own them, lol.
60. talon95 (Posts: 753; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
So far i don't believe there have been any curved amoled displays, the nexus has just used a curved piece of glass over a flat screen to give the impression. I was at an optical bonding company today and they made that comment. They said LED screens can be bent but that they are never implemented that way. It's obviously coming soon though. Even the Note 2 will have a true flexible screen mounted flat from the sound of it.

FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas - You may remember the story Local 2 brought you last week when a woman claimed she was raped by a man in the garage of her Fort Bend County home.
Authorities even went so far as to release a sketch of the male suspect. Now deputies say that after a thorough investigation, the woman has recanted her story and charges are pending against her.
The Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office says it determined the alleged sexual assault on Dec. 20, 2013, in the Pheasant Creek subdivision, was a false report made by the woman.
According to deputies, the woman at first said she could not recall specific details about the suspect. After a second interview, she told deputies she could recall the suspect's description and a sketch was completed and sent to the media.
Detectives then discovered that the woman had previously made similar reports to other agencies and they say they noted multiple inconsistencies in her account.
After another interview, detectives said the woman recanted her claim that she had been sexually assaulted.
Charges for making a false report are pending against the woman.

People always give attitude towards advertising and honestly I don't get it. Right now I see and ad this page for;
- An advertising on iOS and Android company which I don't need for any reason
- An anime arcade game which I'd never play
- A Levenger pen I'd never buy
- A fatigue website which I'd never go to as I don't take medical advice online
- And, finally an AT&T to which I have Sprint, am under contract still, and AT&T is the last option I'd pick
Personally I'd rather see ads with something I want and a tool that makes that happen makes sense to me. Also, I rather not see ads for things I've already bought. That is one of the most pointless part of current tracking. I bought a cheap tablet for a Christmas gift exchange and still see ads for the same cheap tablet. I bought some parts for my 1966 Mustang and see ads for the very same parts. Ads right now are far from intuitive and are often flat out wrong. Yet, since I see it the company paid for it and if I accidentally click one the company pays more for it.
I see Apple's bid system being a good thing. They know my music, movies, games and other products I use but aren't small minded enough to only offer me the same stuff I've already viewed or even bought. Also they can be super selective about their targets and a company will pay for a very specific market and get great results.
Advertising now is like a dating site pairing a elderly Japanese businessmen with an teenage Alaskan hippie. Just doesn't work and doesn't make sense.
