Myths surround the Caribbean. There are fables about black magic and strange Voodoo rituals in Haiti. But the most enduring popular image is of people lounging in hammocks, sipping rum and listening to reggae music as waves gently lap the shore and the sun slips below the horizon to signal the end of another day in paradise.
This had not, unfortunately, been my experience during three previous trips to the region. Stopping in Jamaica a few years ago after a trip to South America, paradise swiftly developed into an endurance test.
Violent crime was rife. Stoned touts hassled aggressively, muttering dark threats when their demands were not met. Many tourists stayed behind high fences patrolled by guards.
One afternoon, I watched as a roller-blading holiday-maker careered along the main street in Montego Bay, pursued by a horde of touts, shouting: 'You want ganja? A taxi? How about some hair braiding?'
A trip to Haiti was similarly interesting. American warships landed troops in Port Au Prince, while an evening taxi trip ended with us being pursued by a pick-up full of grim -faced Tonton Macoutes, the sunglass wearing thugs employed by Papa Doc and his son Baby Doc during their murderous rule of Haiti.
The Dominican Republic was worse. There was a rebellion by other guests at our crumbling, all-inclusive hotel. Anyone who refused to join in was branded a 'scab' by the Liverpudlian ringleader. It was like Carry On Up The Caribbean.
Barbados - thankfully - was different. While my wife, Sue, slept off the rigours of a British Airways Club Class flight (grilled turbot followed by a cheese board of stilton, accompanied by a cheeky - nay, impertinent - little 1996 Claret), I went to test the water of our beach front hotel. The sea was perfect: enough waves to make it fun and warm enough to stay in all day.
Then, in what for me was the defining start to our two-week holiday, the first tout loomed into view as I lounged on a sunbed and watched the sun set. 'Any bad habits, man?' he asked.
I thought about telling him to pull up a chair and boring him with tales of orgies and drink and drug abuse, hoping he would think I was a nutter and put the word out to the other touts to give me a wide berth.
Instead, I smiled and said: 'Not at the moment.' He smiled back and said: 'No problem, man.' And then he sauntered off back down the beach. Barbados does not have the hassles of other Caribbean islands.
The 250,000 Bajans who populate the island, perched off Colombia near the bottom of a string of islands that curve up towards Puerto Rico, take pride in their country. There are few of the problems associated with other islands in the region. Literacy levels are high; crime is negligible.
The only violence I came close to was when the waiter brought the bill for our evening meal on our first night, and I almost hit him. Paradise comes at a price: Barbados is not a cheap destination. Dinner for two, with a bottle of house wine and no coffee or liqueurs, averaged around £80. This would have been acceptable if the food had been fantastic. Some meals were good - fresh fish or shell fish - but most of them were unspectacular. Multiply that by 14 - your meal out is your main evening event - add breakfast or lunch, and you get the picture.
We stayed at the Bougainvillaea Resort, a crescent-shaped collection of apartments with beautiful sea views, on the south coast. Many of the guests could be seen on their balconies, having dinner they had cooked themselves after a trip to Big B's, the local supermarket two miles up the coast.
The island has always been associated with celebrities - Scary Spice was holidaying on the luxurious west coast and Michael Winner is a regular visitor - and the locals have cashed in by charging prices that rich people would never lower themselves to question.
There has also been a recent rise in the number of cheap package deals, prompting a rise in the number of fast food outlets where groups of British and German holidaymakers chomp on pizzas every night.
It is worth hiring a car to tour the island. (It also makes the walk back from Big B's redundant). The west coast has superb beaches and snorkelling in calm, lagoon-like waters. The north of the island has big cliffs, which the sea crashes into, sending waves into the air. The east coast was our favourite. You drive through sugar plantations and mountains dotted with gaily coloured rum shops, and end up on a rugged coastline with brilliant waves. Bathsheba, a popular place for surfing, is a fantastic spot for lunch and then a swim.
On the way back to the south, one of the highlights, particularly at weekends, is the fish fry at Oistins. Local musicians set up speakers near the market in this little fishing village and blast out music, while dozens of Bajan women set up stalls and fry flying fish. It is served with the ubiquitous rice and peas, and makes a good night out especially with a glass or two of the local rum.
Barbados is, in the main, the place to go for a lazy beach holiday. Most activity centres on the sea. I rented a hobie cat - a small catamaran - and buzzed around our bay, watching flying fish as the sun beat down. I'd always thought they simply leapt out of the water and back in again, like dolphins. But they can fly for up to 20 metres at a time, their wings whirring like hummingbirds as they flit above the waves.
We had wanted a chilled out holiday, and we got it. But - and this sounds niggardly - there is only so much chilling anybody can take. By the time we had been round the island to different beaches, gone swimming and finished our books, it is difficult not to get itchy feet. Relaxing can give you too much energy. I even found myself asking some Germans for a game of beach volleyball. You could, of course, make the days drift by in a haze of marijuana sold by various hawkers, who, judging by their red eyes, did precisely that.
I would recommend Barbados as the perfect place for a week's break in the middle of winter, when things are really depressing here. The flight only takes eight hours and a week would give you plenty of time to see everything and relax. But two weeks as a main summer holiday would probably be too much - in terms of things to do and the damage to your pocket.

Jerome Wayne Dingerson took the Rocky Mountain News for a ride--literally. Dingerson, owner of the Lakewood-based Bear Creek Horse & Carriage, last month provided holiday hayrides for young News carriers and their families. Unbeknownst to the News, however, he was on probation for sexually assaulting a twelve-year-old girl who once worked for him. Dingerson, 51, was allowed to plead guilty last January to one count of sexual assault on a child (he had been charged with three). He was sentenced to eight years in prison, but the jail time was suspended pending the successful completion of four years' probation. As a condition of that probation, the prosecutor and investigator asked that Dingerson be required to tell his customers of his conviction.
"It was because of the potential danger he poses to children," Lakewood detective Greg Bramblett said of the unusual requirement. "It was something we felt absolutely necessary. Kids are drawn to horses to begin with, and we felt there was a lot of potential for enticement."
So when Bramblett picked up his copy of the tabloid and spied the standard News-puffing photo of Dingerson handling the reins of a hay wagon filled with kids, he had a hunch the felon was breaking the rules. If the paper had known Dingerson was a sex offender, Bramblett reasoned, editors wouldn't have been so eager to splash his mug--at a News-sponsored event--across their pages.
Dingerson's probation officer spotted the same photo, and Dingerson now is being investigated for a possible probation violation. The News acknowledged the problem in a three-inch blurb this past weekend--after being contacted by authorities. Nag, nag, nag. "He was never alone with any kids," News spokeswoman Nancy Murray insisted to her own paper. "He always had an adult supervisor." And now he's back in circulation.
Rocky road ahead: EXTRA!, the newsletter of Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting, offers a juicy explanation for why ABC's 20/20 turns a blind eye to Rocky Flats stories: Executive producer Victor Neufeld is married to a PR flack for the U.S. Council of Energy Awareness, an organization funded by the nuclear industry. Meanwhile, the December 27 Newsweek--with its cover story on "America's Nuclear Secrets...--has rekindled interest across the country in the stifled Rocky Flats grand jurors. Still, when Representative Dan Schaefer--ranking Republican on the House subcommittee currently considering granting the grand jurors immunity in order to testify before Congress--paid a courtesy call on Westword last week, he seemed less interested in the immunity issue than he did in that day's major news revelation, that President Bill Clinton had donated used underwear to charity. Let's hope he washed it first, Schaefer said.

And let's hope Schaefer's subcommittee gives as much consideration to Rocky Flats' dirty linen. It's about time the department of energy came clean.

Prowess introduced on Tuesday the latest version of its SmartDeploy Enterprise software deployment toolkit, which creates a virtual disk image of Windows 7, associated software and other configuration settings and then replicates that image to servers and desktop computers on the network. It works with any version of Windows, such as XP or Windows Server 2003 and 2008; 32-bit or 64-bit versions of the operating systems; and it supports a variety of virtualization environments. It is designed to address some of the obstacles that go along with migrating to a new OS, such as compatibility with older versions of software or differences in hardware, says Aaron Suzuki, CEO of Prowess.
Forrester Research said in a November 2010 outlook on Windows 7 adoption that while only 10 percent of PCs in North America and Europe run the newest version of the OS, there are promising signs of a pickup. For one, 31 percent of new PCs being installed by IT managers run Windows 7. Forrester anticipates that within a year that number will grow to 83 percent.
While Suzuki concurs that hardware refresh cycles will be a big driver of Windows 7 adoption, he still thinks that "wide-scale deployment of Windows 7 is a lot further out than a lot of people think. Our customers do not seem to be in any hurry."
Suzuki says one of the factors limiting migration is that some independent software vendors (ISVs) are slow to update their applications to be compatible with Windows 7 or to make their images "Windows 7-ready" to be included in a migration project. While sensing this market reluctance, Prowess is doing its part to encourage adoption by pointing out features of its SmartDeploy Migration, such as single instance storage.

91st Street traffic problems local issue
Residents of De Soto were again treated to a grand fireworks show Tuesday. The show is a result of cooperation between the city, which contributed $6,000 for the show, and school district, which made available De Soto High School stadium for the event.
The show has almost become a tradition, but one gets the impression district officials feel rather like parents handing the keys to the family car to a son going out on a date. They know it has to be done, but worry about what dings and scratches they might discover in the morning. In this case, the stadium is the only place in the community to offer the parking and openness the event needs.
The city encourages good behavior and even with the formal lifting of the fireworks ban this year, which made official policy of stark reality, asked Johnson County Sheriff's Office deputies to enforce parking regulations and the ban on personal fireworks of public property.
Despite these concerns, the relationship between the city and school district has much improved in recent years.
Another sign of at least the spirit of cooperation was the De Soto City Council's recent discussion of whether to include the district in a benefit district for a traffic signal at the intersection of 91st Street and Lexington Avenue. A number of council members argued against the redundancy of taxing another jurisdiction and that schools should be seen as infrastructure just like streets and sewers.
As a counterpoint, one council member noted the district's larger tax base.
That may be true, but the traffic at the intersection is a local, not districtwide, issue. With the exception of a few students from western Lenexa and Shawnee and some out-of-towners visiting the district office, the vast majority of those going through the intersection on their way to Starside Elementary School or De Soto High School will be De Soto residents. That is especially true for the peak morning and evening hours when a traffic control light is most needed at the intersection.
The discussion comes on the heels of the city of Shawnee's decision to forego excise tax on the district's next elementary school in that city. At that site, the district will be asked to pay to extend the street, just as it did on 91st Street, in addition to paying excise taxes for its three buildings. The city has seen that investment pay off with two new businesses and one large industry.
The district has done enough on 91st Street. The city can resolve the local traffic problems at the street without its help.

The NHL work stoppage is good news for the Brandon Wheat Kings. The Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL have reassigned 20-year-old right winger Tim Konsorada to Brandon for the 2004-2005 Western Hockey League season. A sixth-round draft choice of Columbus in the 2002 NHL entry draft, the 6-foot-2, 215-pound Wheat Kings captain signed a multi-year contact with the Blue Jackets this past summer and had been skating with the Columbus rookies.
Konsorada, who will be entering his fifth WHL season and second as Wheat Kings captain, played only 25 games last season due to off-season shoulder surgery. He scored three goals and 21 points last season and was among the club's playoff scoring leaders with two goals and seven points in 11 playoff games.
During his four-year WHL career, the Lamont, Alta., native has 52 goals and 110 assists in 240 games. A former first-round bantam draft choice of the Wheat Kings in 1999, Konsorada is the club's active playoff scoring leader with 10 goals and 39 points in 53 games.
"We are very excited to have Tim back on our team," said Brandon coach and general manager Kelly McCrimmon. "This is a unique set of circumstances as it is rare to get a signed player back as a 20-year-old. The work stoppage, combined with Tim's injury last season have all played a factor in this decision. Columbus feels that Brandon is the best place for his development this season and he will be a big part of our team."

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 17 (UPI) -- A California study showed that when the number of preventable medical errors declined, so did the number of malpractice lawsuits, researchers said.
Lead author Michael Greenberg, a behavioral scientist at the Rand Corp., analyzed approximately 365,000 preventable medical errors such as post-surgical infections and hospital-acquired infections. They also analyzed approximately 27,000 malpractice claims from 2001 to 2005.
The study found that reducing the number of preventable medical errors in California hospitals from 2001 to 2005 was associated with a corresponding drop in malpractice claims against physicians.
"These findings suggest that putting a greater focus on improving safety performance in healthcare settings could benefit medical providers as well as patients," Greenberg said in a statement.
Study co-author Amelia Haviland, a statistician at the Rand Corp., said that under the model created by researchers, a county that had 10 fewer safety events in a given year could expect to see a drop of 3.7 malpractice claims during that same year.

Anaheim high school teacher Peggy Ann Buckey will receive more than $183,000 in back pay, interest and retirement benefits for the time she was on compulsory leave after being charged in the McMartin Pre-School molestation case, a Los Angeles judge ruled Thursday.
After a sensational trial, Buckey was acquitted of 14 charges of child molestation growing out of allegations leveled against her mother's Manhattan Beach preschool.
Superior Court Judge Robert O'Brien, implementing a state appeals court ruling of May 29, ordered the Anaheim Union High School District to pay Buckey $183,123.33 for the period between March, 1984, when she was charged, and February, 1989, when her teaching credential was restored by the state.
The only matter in dispute at Thursday's proceeding was the amount of compounded interest to be paid on the back wages, attorneys said.

Airport delays mean yet more frustration in Berlin
Germany's reputation for efficiency suffered another blow yesterday when the opening of Berlin's new airport was delayed — again — to 2014, more than two years later than originally planned.
Nearly a quarter of a century after the Berlin Wall came down and 14 years after the German Government moved back to Berlin as the unified capital, the city's flagship project has descended into a farce that could claim the scalp of its long-serving mayor.
The revelations came as Air Berlin, the second-largest German airline, said that Hartmut Mehdorn, its chief executive, was stepping down with immediate effect. The carrier, which made losses of €102 million in the first nine months of last year, had increased its schedule to coincide with a previous planned opening…

September has been a very busy month here at Better World Books. Our warehouse is busy processing and shipping loads of textbooks to all the students gearing up for fall and we have been unplugging ourselves from our computers to get out into the real world and meet some of you.
The beginning of the month found CEO David Murphy, Co-founder Xavier Helgesen and myself at the SOCAP09 Conference in San Francisco. David spoke on a panel called SELLING WITHOUT SELLING OUT with Terry Mollner from Calvert Social Investment Fund and Sunny Vanderbeck from Satori Capital while Xavier took in as many of the talks as he could and soaked up some great information to bring back to the job.
I was there to run the SOCAP / Better World Books bookstore where we had a great selection of the best books on social enterprise along with the latest and greatest titles in the business world. Check out our list and let me know if you have any recommendations for business must reads!
I also got to meet some great people like David Erickson from the Federal Reserve who was signing his new book The Housing Policy Revolution and Steve Goldberg, author of Billions of Drops in Millions of Buckets. I also got to work with some wonderful volunteers like Anne Peskoe, Saunders Moore, Morgan Springer and Purabi Thakre who really helped keep the store running smoothly. (Thanks guys…and great to meet each of you!!)

Release Date: 2012 |
Album Rating: 3.0Also posted at http://www.muzikdizcovery.com/
Out now in the Uk.
This is a strange one. It's pretty close to being a 3.5 for me and I think that there will be people here that will like this a lot, but as much as I want to be I'm not one of them.
Sounds interesting
Album Rating: 3.5I haven't heard any of their previous albums, but listening now to Given To The Wild. I really like it, will probably end up as a 3.5 or maybe higher.
But nice job as usual, Ali!
For the ones interested, the album is streaming here:
Album Rating: 4.0Damn... just posted mine for this too haha.
It's difficult to explain to outsiders, but here in the UK we have fierce pride in our country's musical heritage which has led to an unyielding affinity to our own bands, especially those of a guitar wielding variety.
Album Rating: 3.5I think that holds true for most countries, though. But because a lot of bands who are enjoying success nationwide, don't break through internationally, people in other countries don't see it.
Album Rating: 3.0Yeah you're probably right, but here I think we have this almost unhealthy obsession with "guitar music" which is probably why we're better known than most for hyping up our own bands.
Album Rating: 3.5I actually really hope 2012 will be a return to form for "pure guitar music" out of the UK, because in recent years, I'm fed up with all this 80's synthesizer crap that seems to have become so popular in Britain...
80s synthesizer crap isn't that popular in Britain, especially compared to guitar-music, at least that
I'm aware of.
Oddly enough, I get the impression that it's waaaay more popular across the Pond haha.
Album Rating: 3.0There's certainly been a big 80's revival over the past few years, and an awful lot of what you'd call guitar bands have started using synths to adapt to the times, but that trend does seem to be waning out at the moment. As long as there's great music, I'm not really fussed which direction bands take.
Album Rating: 4.0We just need another Smiths to come along haha. They're almost local to me too - i can identify with that English music pride.
Review is up to your usual high standards. You're probably the only reviewer whose reviews I read knowing I probably won't end up listening to the album haha
And that isn't a criticism btw.
Album Rating: 4.0Cool review Ali, I've listened twice now and I have a feeling I like the album more than you do. Unknow is honestly so good.
Album Rating: 3.0Okay, I'm a long term fan of the band so I'm going to jump in to the stream (attempts at finding a link to download have been met with failure).
Quick question though: The Maccabees really seemed to show this huge ambitious spark towards the end of Wall of Arms, is there anything to match that here?
Album Rating: 4.0Yes.
Album Rating: 3.0Thanks guys
StrangerofSorts: This record as a whole is by far and away the most ambitious thing they've ever done, way more so than anything on the previous two.
Album Rating: 3.0Just nearing the end of my first listen, some thoughts:
More ambitious than this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbALYQt60B8
I think not!
He's got a lot better at singing.
This is kind of bland, but still good.
Album Rating: 3.0"More ambitious than this?"
Certainly. Did you leave the room when 'Forever I've Known' came on?!
Album Rating: 3.0No.

A Keller police officer fatally shot a shoplifting suspect during a struggle inside a Kohl's store on Thursday.
Police said they were called about 4 p.m, to the 2000 block of South Main, where security had detained the man.
When Off. Johnathan Hicks tried to take the suspect into custody, police said, he began to struggle.
Hicks ordered the man to stop, police said, but he threatened to kill the officer and grabbed for his gun several times.
As shoppers watched, police said, the 10-year department veteran shot the man four times to protect himself. The suspect was taken to a hospital in Fort Worth, where he died in surgery. His identity was withheld pending notification of his family.
The officer was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Classification:

Isentress (ratelgravir) is an integrase inhibitor-class antiretroviral drug used in the treatment of HIV infection. Isentress was the first integrase inhibitor to be granted approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In October 2007, it was licensed for use in adults who had resistance to other antiretroviral drugs. But by July 2009, and later in December 2011, the FDA expanded its indication, allowing for use in all adults with HIV, as well as children ages 2-18.

Isentress is among the drugs currently recommended as preferred first-line options for HIV therapy in the U.S.

Formulations:

Isentress is available in four different formulations:

For adults and older children, Isentress is available as a 400mg film-coated tablet, oval in shape and pink-orange in color. The number "207" is embossed on one side.

For children unable to take tablets, Isentress is available as either a 100mg chewable (oval, beige, embossed on one side with "477," scored for splitting) or a 25mg chewable (pale yellow, round, embossed on one side with "473"). Both are orange-banana flavored.

For smaller children unable to take chewables, Isentress is available in a single-pack, 100mg oral suspension. The oral suspension is mixed with 5mL of water and administered with an oral syringe. Once mixed, the oral preparation should be used within 30 minutes, with any leftover immediately discarded. The suspension is banana flavored.

Never substitute Isentress chewables or oral suspension for Isentress film-coated tablets as the formulations are not bioequivalent. Use only as directed (see Dosages below).

Dosages:

Isentress 400mg, film-coated tablets should be prescribed for adults and for older children able to swallow tablets, as follows:

Adults: one 400mg tablet, taken twice daily

For children or adolescents 55 pounds (25kg) or over: one 400mg tablet, taken twice daily

Isentress chewable tablets should be prescribed for children weighing 44 pounds (20kg) or more who are unable to swallow tablets, as follows:

44 pounds (20kg) to less than 62 pounds (28kg): 150mg twice daily

62 pounds (28kg) to less than 88 pounds (40kg): 200mg twice daily

Over 88 pounds (40kg): 300mg twice daily

Isentress oral suspension or chewable tablets should be prescribed for children weighing at least 6.5 pounds (3kg) to less than 55 pounds (25kg), as follows:

6.5 pounds (3kg) to less than 8.8 pound (4kg): 1mL (20mg) prepared oral suspension taken twice daily

8.8 pounds (4kg) to less than 13 pounds (6kg): 1.5mL (30mg) prepared oral suspension taken twice daily

13 pounds (6kg) to less than 17 pounds (8kg): 2mL (40mg) prepared oral suspension taken twice daily

17 pounds (8kg) to less than 24 pounds (11kg): 3mL (60mg) prepared oral suspension taken twice daily

24 pounds (11kg) to less than 30 pounds (14kg): 4mL (80kg) prepared oral suspension taken twice daily OR 75mg chewable tablets taken twice daily

30 pounds (14kg) to less than 44 pounds (20kg): 5mL (100kg) prepared oral suspension taken twice daily OR 100mg chewable tablets taken twice daily

Drug Administration:

Isentress may be taken with or without food. Isentress cannot be taken on its own and must be prescribed as part of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART).

Common Side Effects:

The most commonly noted side effects (occurring in 2% or less of cases) are:

Insomnia

Headache

Dizziness

Nausea

Fatigue

Contraindications:

None

Drug-Drug Interactions:

Please advise your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications as they are not recommended for co-administration with Isentress and may interfere with drug bioavailability:

Rifampin-based antibiotics: Rifadan, Rifater, Rifamate, Rimactane

Aluminum- or magnesium-based antacids (e.g., Tums, Milk of Magnesia, etc.)

Considerations:

Patients who experience an allergic reaction after starting Isentress should contact their doctor immediately. Treatment should be stopped and medical treatment sought if a rash is accompanied by fever, muscle or joint pains, blisters or sores, redness or swelling of the eyes, swelling of the face or mouth, or breathing problems. Patients who have previously experienced a hypersensitive reaction to Isentress should not be re-challenged with the drug after resolution of symptoms.

Animal studies have shown no embryotic or fetal birth defects during pregnancy in mice or rabbits exposed to Isentress. However, the impact of Isentress on breastfed infants has not yet been established, and, as a result, breastfeeding is not recommended for mothers taking Isentress.

The Essays of Truman Capote
Random House. 518 pp. $28.95
Is Truman Capote a writer of lasting importance? Fewer and fewer people seem to think so, even though Random House has worked hard to secure Capote's literary immortality: This volume of the writer's collected essays follows hard upon his complete short stories, his selected letters and his "long-lost" first novel, Summer Crossing. Before these, Gerald Clarke brought out a substantial and deservedly praised biography. More recently, two films have drawn renewed attention to Capote the man and to In Cold Blood, his celebrated "nonfiction novel" about the murderers of a Kansas family.
All this activity notwithstanding, Truman Capote now tends to be frequently viewed as a talented self-promoter, the jester and pet of the beau monde, with a calculated flair for cozying up to show business people and lunching with the wives of moguls. In particular, he seems to have genuinely worshipped eccentric old ladies, starting with his simple-minded relative Sook Faulk (protagonist of A Christmas Memory) but including such eminent authors as Isak Dinesen, Colette and Willa Cather. Though Capote died relatively young (in 1984 at the age of 59), even his most ardent fans would agree that the writer's last years were sadly frittered away with unavailing efforts to get on with his tell-all society novel ( Answered Prayers) and then made even more miserable by drink, drugs, health problems and general dissipation.
Compared to the jack-rabbit prolificness of his contemporaries (and rivals) Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal, "Little TC" was undeniably a tortoise-slow writer. Aside from the substantial In Cold Blood, he only produced novellas ( Other Voices, Other Rooms, The Grass Harp, Breakfast at Tiffany's), a handful of short stories, some theater and movie scripts, and a few volumes of literary journalism ( Local Color, Observations, The Muses Are Heard). That journalism makes up Portraits and Observations. . . and it is, whatever the status of Capote's reputation, quite wonderful.
It's a wonderful volume on several counts. First, Portraits and Observations contains all of Capote's nonfiction (except In Cold Blood). Second, it's of a handy size, substantial and inviting without seeming magisterial and sepulchral. Third, nearly every page can be read with real pleasure, whether Capote is describing New Orleans or Brooklyn, whether he is profiling the fatuous Marlon Brando or his own high-spirited cleaning lady. Fourth, those who appreciate the music and cadence of a sentence, or relish a well-turned simile, will find much to enjoy and learn from in these crafty, intricately structured essays. Fifth, despite his real zest for high society, Capote is clearly a democratic bard, drawn as much to the glamour of a derelict washerwoman as to that of a Hollywood superstar. He is, in this regard, an heir to his fellow New Yorker writer, that chronicler of metropolitan life, Joseph Mitchell. As Capote remarks of himself, "I am a city fellow. I like pavement." In his earliest writing the young Capote -- born in New Orleans, raised in Alabama -- repeatedly depicts the tawdry beauty of urban decay. Don't just read, but listen to this sentence, describing the French Quarter of New Orleans in 1946:
"The torn lips of golden-haired girls leer luridly on faded leaning house fronts: Drink Dr. Nutt, Dr. Pepper, Nehi, Grapeade, 7-Up, Koke, Coca-Cola. N.O., like every Southern town, is a city of soft-drink signs; the streets of forlorn neighborhoods are paved with Coca-Cola caps, and after rain, they glint in the dust like lost dimes."
Note the alliteration of the L's and S's throughout, the double-meaning of "torn lips," the drum beat of the soda pops, the elegant adjective "forlorn," the sociological observation about the abundance of bottle caps, and the loveliness of the buildup ("after rain") to a striking simile: "they glint in the dust like lost dimes." This is a deliberately artificial style, affected, even overwritten, but also sinuous and exact. Here is a writer who perceives the beauty and secret meaning of the quotidian. Capote can even evoke domestic furnishings as well as Balzac:
"The interior of the house is a grimy jungle of Victoriana: lily-pale, plump-faced ladies garbed in rotting Grecian veils prance tribally on wallpaper; in the hall an empty, tarnished bowl for calling cards and a hat tree gnarled like a spruce glimpsed on the coast of Brittany are elegant mementos from Brooklyn's less blighted days; the parlor bulges with dusty fringed furniture, a family history of daguerreotype parades across an old untuned piano, everywhere antimacassars are like little crocheted flags declaring a state of Respectability, and when a draught goes through this room beaded lamps tinkle Oriental tunes."
Sometimes this early work suffers from youthful excess -- the gnarled hat tree isn't simply compared to a spruce, which would be fine, but to a spruce glimpsed on the coast of Brittany, which is too much. There can also be a certain sentimental quality to the scenes (often memories), as if the sentences sought to match the soft-focused beauty of photographs shot through lenses smeared with Vaseline. Note, for instance, the lilting word-music of this description of an old man:
"We found him in a garden facing the ocean; a knotty, phlegmatic old man with blue-white hair and skin browner than iodine, he was slumped in a patch of sunshine, his eyes closed, no sound to disturb him but the slumbering slap of waves, the dozy singing of bees. Old people love California; they close their eyes, and the wind through the winter flowers says sleep, the sea says sleep: it is a preview of heaven."
Though Capote's style grew more dramatic with the years -- more reportorial than memorial -- he never lost his way with a simile or description: "There were hints of sunrise on the rim of the sky, yet it was still dark, and the traces of morning color were like goldfish swimming in ink." "Miss Ryan was wearing a low strapless dress that hugged her curves cleverly; and as she swayed down the aisle, masculine eyes swerved in her direction like flowers turning toward the sun." Stores in 1950s Moscow consisted of "counters and alcoves whose shelves seemed mostly stocked with shooting gallery prizes, the cheap familiar dolls, ugly urns, plaster animals, the toilette set bedded in a crumpling of white casket silk." Describing a hotel room in Kyoto, the writer notes "the Japanese penchant for an ostentatious barrenness"; after meeting the anorectically thin Isak Dinesen, he says that "time has reduced her to an essence, as a grape can become a raisin, roses an attar."
Capote can capture a character in a phrase: Of a wife who dotes on her husband, he concludes that "if she could find enough paper, she'd wrap up the world and hand it to him." That same husband, he later reveals, "has an actor's trained voice, 'placed' in a register so very deep that it makes for automatic pomposity, and as he speaks his manicured hands move with his words, not in an excitable, Latin style, but in a gracefully slow ritualistic manner, rather as though he were saying Mass."
Though some of the portraits and observations in this volume now seem like period pieces, this is paradoxically all to the good: Capote conveys the very aura of a time and place. The Muses Are Heard, about a theater company's visit to Russia, deftly registers the common view of our Cold War enemy as frightening and sartorially challenged, simultaneously paranoid and childishly naive. Here, too, are famous profiles of the movie stars Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, and briefer memoirs of Cecil Beaton, Tennessee Williams and Jane Bowles (a slyly funny writer -- try Two Serious Ladies-- still overshadowed by her husband Paul Bowles).
In these pieces Capote employs reportage, journal entries, personal letters, dramatic dialogues, whatever kind of prose will best give substance and dimensionality to his subject. One late piece of "new journalism," the rather neglected "Handcarved Coffins," is, like In Cold Blood, an account of murder in the heartland, and generates as much tension as any Gold Medal paperback thriller: Why are these particular people being killed, one by one? And by whom? The ending of the story is appropriately low-key and noirishly downbeat.
Even if Truman Capote never enters the hallowed (and consequently rather deadening) Library of America, he remains a writer we should keep reading. "A work of art," he once said, "is the one mystery, the one extreme magic; everything else is either arithmetic or biology. I think I understand a considerable lot about writing; nevertheless, when I read something good, in fact, a work of art, my senses sail away into a universe of wonder: How did he do it? How is it possible?"
Pick up Portraits and Observations and you will feel the same wonder, ask yourself the same questions. No matter what his subject, Truman Capote's canny, careful art gives it warm and breathing life. *

Publishers Weekly includes Manchurian President on its Fall 2010 Audio Listings.
Unfortunately, Amazon.com is showing a long delay in filling orders on any alternative media forms other than its own Kindle ebook and Audible downloadable version.
Fortunately, Blackstone Audio, which published The Manchurian President in audio formats, released on July 5, including the Audible version, has copies immediately available in CD (9), MP3CD, and on tapes (8). You can even listen to a sample of the reading by Sean Runette, an audio book award winner.
RBO also discovered another book review, dated June 13, at the Kansas City Conservative Examiner: "Best-seller The Manchurian President has a Kansas City connection."
Just in case the Obots are expecting (hoping) Manchurian will disappear (that's their plan for all things unpleasant, you know — ignore it and it'll go away), it's not happening. It's still in the top 15 of Amazon's Best Sellers for Nonfiction Politics and in the top 3 in three other categories.
Plus bookseller Tower Books has Manchurian listed in the #1 spot in Executive Branch and listed in the #2 spot in Politics and Events on its Hardcover Top 100 list.
Obviously, a whole lot of somebodies are reading and listening.

New Hampshire Moose Lottery Finished - Did you get Drawn?
The adventure of a lifetime is in store for 515 people who have been offered permits to hunt moose in New Hampshire this October. They are the lucky winners in the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department's annual moose permit lottery drawing, held today. The names of the 2008 winners are posted on Fish and Game's website at www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Hunting/Moose_hunt/2008_Moose_Winners.htm.
The winners, randomly selected by computer from a pool of more than 15,000 applicants, will be offered permits to hunt moose during the October 18 to 26, 2008, season. Each winner is allowed to enlist a guide and one friend or relative to help on the hunt as a "subpermittee."
More than 130 people showed up at Fish and Game headquarters in Concord to watch the drawing and swap hunting stories. Seventh grader Rebecca Goodwin of Alton, N.H., got things going by pushing the button to start the computer selection of winners.
Moose lottery winners hailed from many states, including Florida, Texas, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont and Rhode Island, as well as from throughout New Hampshire.
Six winners were present at the drawing, and cheers went up as their names were selected. "I've been waiting 21 years for this," smiled Henry C. Fitts, of Weare, who will hunt in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) B. Winner Shirley Johnson, age 63, of Salisbury has hunted caribou, bear, birds and deer, but until now never moose. "I'm excited, though I'll probably give up my September caribou hunt to do this," she said.
"This is fantastic," said Wayne Gauthier of Salem. He has applied every year he could since the lottery started, and won once before. He quickly pulled a photo out of his wallet of himself with the large antler rack from the 820-pound bull he took on his previous moose hunt 15 years ago.
"I'm very excited," said Shane Kapsimalis, age 21, of Barrington, who won a permit for WMU L. He and his twin brother grew up scouting and hunting with their dad. Kapsimalis seemed undaunted that his permit was for southeastern New Hampshire, where moose hunt success rates are not as high. "That's where we live - we know how to find the moose!" he smiled.
Other winners present were Michael "the Frog" Normandin of Belmont, and Rich Tichko of Canterbury, recently retired after serving 35 years with Fish and Game as a fisheries biologist.
Thanks to the recovery of moose populations, New Hampshire has had an annual moose hunt since 1988. That year, 75 permits were issued for a three-day hunt in the North Country. The availability of 515 hunting permits this year, with some issued for every area of the state during the nine-day season, has been made possible by careful management of moose populations. The resulting sustainable annual harvest of moose helps to regulate moose numbers and provides a unique recreational opportunity.
Each permit winner is assigned to one of 22 wildlife management units (WMUs) in which he or she can legally hunt. A total of 120 antlerless-only moose permits were issued for WMUs A1, A2, B, C1, C2, D1, D2, E1, E3 and F, with the remaining 395 permits valid for taking any moose in specific WMUs across the state.
In 2007, New Hampshire hunters took 482 moose, for a statewide success rate of 71%. Regional success rates for moose hunters last year ranged from 88% in the Connecticut Lakes Region to 30% in southeastern New Hampshire.
Hunters whose names were selected in the drawing will be notified by mail. Lists of successful applicants and alternates are available at www.wildlife.state.nh.us/Hunting/Moose_hunt/2008_Moose_Winners.htm; at Fish and Game headquarters in Concord; and at the Department's regional offices in Durham, Keene, Lancaster and New Hampton.
New Hampshire Fish and Game is offering an original-design 2008 N.H. Moose Hunt T-shirt for purchase, which can be pre-ordered at wildnh.com/Shop/Moose_hunt_08_Tshirt_order_form.pdf. "We think the commemorative shirts will be a hit with friends and families of the winners, as well as those who entered the lottery and didn't luck out this year," said Fish and Game Advertising and Promotions Coordinator Mark Beauchesne. "The shirt is a great way to show you've been a part of this exciting event."

Children of the 80s
The Vigil
The Vigil is clearly at the heart of whatever happened in '88.
Four elders of different clans. One is the sire of another local. One is the sibling of the Prince. One is the sibling of the Toreador Primogen. The last has obscure but deep financial investments in the city.
Yet the implication is that they are new to the city since the Camarilla took control: this is not the old guard returned. The Sheriff, two Primogen, and a Harpy. And they all seem to very quietly get along in a way that few of the other Kindred in the city do.
Rumors make it quite clear that you are not to cross any of them: they have decades, possibly centuries, of training in combat techniques and disciplines. This is to a depth that even the other elders in town seem to regard them like mortal liberals regard NRA members.
Are they a roving Cainite hit squad? Some kind of last-chance soldiers of fortune like those guys in Mr. T's show? The Camarilla's wetworks division?
And if the situation in Atlanta is stable… why are they putting down roots?

A third suspect has been arrested and charged in the alleged confinement and sex assault of a teen in Nova Scotia.
John Leonard MacKean, 63, of Lower Sackville, N.S., appeared in court Tuesday afternoon, charged with sexual assault and communicating with the purpose of obtaining sexual services from a person under 18.
Officers arrested MacKean in Fredericton on Monday afternoon, police said Tuesday.
The boy's mother appeared outside the courtroom as MacKean was led through the front doors with no handcuffs. She told reporters she was taken aback by the sudden arrest and had to rush to the courthouse to see the suspect.
MacKean will remain in custody until his bail hearing Thursday.
In late September, a 16-year-old boy turned up at a rural home in Upper Chelsea, N.S., half naked, chained at the ankles and wrists, and begging for help.
Police said the young man told them he had been snatched from the street in Halifax, driven to a remote shack and chained up, and that he was raped him over a period of two weeks before he escaped.
The teen fled after eight days in captivity, making it two kilometres down a gravel road, his ankles and wrists still in chains. Terry Frauzel and his family found him in their yard, cut his shackles and contacted police.
After a week-long chase through four provinces for two suspects, police found one of the two suspects dead in northern Ontario, and arrested the other nearby a few days later.
The boy told police and one of his rescuers that he overheard his captors talk about selling or killing him.
Wayne Alan Cunningham, 31, was found dead about three hours outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., on Oct. 3.
David James Leblanc, 47, Cunningham's common-law partner of 10 years, was arrested nearby a few days later. Leblanc appeared in court last week, and is charged with seven offences in the case, including kidnapping, forcible confinement, uttering threats and sexual assault.
In a separate case, Leblanc is accused of sexually assaulting a two-year-old boy and a five-year-old boy in different towns in southwest Nova Scotia and making child pornography. He was out on bail awaiting trial on those charges when he allegedly imprisoned and raped the teen in Upper Chelsea. He is due back in court on Dec. 19 in this case.

Written on: 30/07/2012 by RickWellingtonBEEEF (2 reviews written)
This is a deliberate attempt by Amazon to get people not to choose "Super Saver Delivery" and pay more for a quicker delivery time. I mean obviously, yes I know. When going for the "Super Saver Delivery" option, you are paying for the cost of delivery even if the item is below the set price, and that needs pointing out.
One time I ordered some LED Torches and I used the "Super Saver Delivery" option. Amazon dispatched it off within two days, NO FAFFING AROUND. So, they're fully capable of dispatching items off quick time, right? RIGHT! No reason what so ever to hang about.
But this being just another cooperation squeezing you dry, instead of sending it off quickly, they choose to slow walk the process and dispatch it the following week. Out of stock ? Pfffft! Don't make me laugh. I couldn't cancel delivery because it was in the middle of being processed. I mean, yes I can understand a delivery company doing this but, for the seller to do it is totally unacceptable, imo.
This ain't the first time they've done it, so this is why I'm having my rant about it now. My first option was to look for Seller Amazon in Market Place. But now I'm more internet shopping savvy now and look for other options before I'll consider Amazon.
Plus I'll add 3stars to the ratings for every successful transaction with Amazon using the "Super Saver Delivery" option I choose because this its getting beyond a joke. I mean seriously. Fix up.
I'd recommend to a friend if you don't mind waiting.

The 6 Families Keeping American Style Alive
Roz Schott
Behind the rebellious leather jacket brand is a family with 100 year's worth of knowledge and a hands-on approach. Company President Roz Schott frequently hand inspects products being sewn together by factory workers she's known most of her life. "We have a cutter who has been with the company for over 45 years," Roz brags. "He started when he was 18 years old. My grandfather, Irving Schott, stood behind him for an entire week and showed him where to place the knife and how to hold the pattern. Now it takes about three months to train a cutter. My grandfather taught us the importance of investing in the people who work for you. They trained everyone by example and by standing right there next to them."

Vanilla Candy
Anyone who has done any type of baking is probably familiar with vanilla or, at least, vanilla extract, but are you aware that the history of vanilla goes back to ancient times? It was the Totonac Indians of Mexico who first cultivated this bean. They used it in rituals long before Columbus came to America. It was also used as a medicine and as a perfume. Interestingly enough, they didn't use it for flavoring. It was adopted by the Aztecs after the Totonacs were conquered in the 15th century. The Aztecs mixed it with chocolate to make their tasty drink chocolatl.Vanilla is the old fashioned flavor which has been around for decades. You can never have enough of your favorite vanilla flavored candies. We have a great selections of vanilla flavored candy for all of your candy needs like Tootsie Roll midges, BB Bats sticks, and Jelly Belly beans.

Brooklyn Projects x Nike SB Dunk Low "Walk of Fame"
From the gritty streets of Brooklyn to the star-studded hills of Hollywood, these SBs gon' have you shining!
Hollywood, Los Angeles is the home of some of the world's brightest stars, in all things entertainment. Although we all secretly hope to have our names engraved in stars on the boulevard, time to face the music, it ain't happening. But it's ok, Brooklyn Projects is giving you a chance to shine in your own light with their upcoming Nike SB collaboration. Set over the quintessential Dunk Low silhouette, the "Walk of Fame" SBs draw inspiration from the illustrious Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame.
The Dunks feature black safari print that represent the granite surrounding each star, while touches of burgundy suede mirror the inside of each star. No star would be complete with that gilt detailing, as seen with the blinged out gold Swoosh. Are these crazily hyped? Not at all. However, they are a QuickStrike release hitting Nike SB retailers this weekend, so you gotta be on it if you want it. Get your acceptance speech ready, be sure to thank your connect, and shine hard in these Brooklyn Projects x Nike SB Dunk Low "Walk of Fame!"
Yo! Adrian has his very own star on the Walk of Shame.

Friday Night: Boulder to the THOn Friday night, Ian and I drove from Boulder to the La Plata Northwest Ridge trailhead. During the drive, we hit one of the worst rain/lighting storms I have ever driven through, hydroplaning several times. The trailhead is well marked on CO-82 (Independence Pass Road). We decided not to camp right at the trailhead due to private property (although there was a tent there in the morning) and instead went back down the road to a Forest Service campground. At this point, the rain subsided to a light mist, but this would not be the end of rain on this trip.
Saturday Morning: TH to Northwest RidgeStarted out very early on Saturday morning. The rain stopped until we got to the big saddle on La Plata's enormous Northwest Ridge. After a steep hike out from the trailhead, you end up in a gorgeous valley that stretches miles away in front of you. The creek was really flowing after all the rain from the previous week.
After half a mile or so of relatively flat hiking, you begin up a long series of switchbacks.
Eventually, you gain the Northwest Ridge and on a normal day would have a great view of the summit and Ellingwood Ridge. On this day, the clouds were hovered in and the summit was in not visible.
Ridge to SummitAfter a quick break and change of clothes (it started raining and didnt stop for the rest of the day), we continued up the ridge. After another mile or so, we were in the clouds and the visibility went to zero. We had a hard time finding the route and were basically hopping rocks straight up the ridge. Eventually, we made the summit in a nice light rain.
Total time to summit was around 3 hours, though we didnt really pay attention. We started down and found a few trails, all of which were better than our ascent route. Several small groups passed us going up. By the time we were back in the valley, it was a steady rain that soaked everything we had. Overall, a great day.

Tripath T-AMP FAQ & WIKI
Here is a link to the Tripath T-AMP WIKI-FAQ.
Tripath FAQ
Please have a look at the FAQ if you are new here and seeking information about Tripath chips, Sonic Impact amps, Super-T, Charlize, AMP3, AMP6, Autocostruire, Fenice, etc.
In the FAQ you will find information mostly about the smaller Tripath based amps, those with the TA2020, TA2024 and TA2021 chips. But we hope to add more information about the larger chips and amps, too.
Questions about bridging, power, output, input caps, some basic mods, power supply, SMPS, inductors, aircore, toroids volume controls and other issue of interest are addressed in the FAQ.
Please read the FAQ before you post, your answer may be there. The WIKI FAQ is a work in progress. If there is something missing, please let us know.
Long needed!
And a fine job of work it is too! Hope this will cut down on answered questions.
Thanks from all that are tired of repeat questions,
Well, I think the list of T-Amps of Autocostruire / Audiodigit (www.audiodigit.com) is quite incomplete :D ....
They have 20W and 100W stereo boards, high current versions (for 2 Ohm loads), versions with Tube preamps, and then 4 channels, 8 channels boards (to avoid having 3 or more little boxes around ...) and even fully assembled amps with metal cases ...
Maybe the list in the FAQ needs a little update!
It is a Wiki, therefore YOU may update it if you wish to do so. I'm sure lots of info could be added that isn't manufacturer specific. The Wiki isn't for advertising though. If you want to promote your product please inquire about getting a thread in the AVB.
Tube T 100 & TubePre
How easy would it be to turn these to allow more than the one input?
I like the use of the Tubes and using the Class D chip , could use the TubePre with the Class T100 HCL-m for a nice sound.
If you added TubePre with the Class T100 HCL-m, would you use different power supplies for them?
Newbie so sorry if in wrong place or a dumb question.
No dumb questions....
only ones that are , are the ones not asked. And if in the "wrong place" someone (one of the mods) will most likely move your question :)
Well done,... More Wiki pages are a good idea.
Can I suggest that this page gets split up a bit. Trying to cover all the class D amps mods etc on one page could make it a really long page...
I would reckon that a page per manufacturer would be more easily digested, with links on the page you have created.
And I would also include one on the Sure electronics products. There are a couple of long threads here that could be harvested for content.
Oops its a Wiki... Its better form to contribute yourself before giving anyone else advice..... Looks like I may have just volunteered. Oh well I have just bought 5 sure 2024 amps to play with, when I get back from my holidays I will edit something together.
Tripath's class T- chips is nice,
but I have heard Tripath was purchased by Ti. really?
The liquidated assets of Tripath, not the company as a going concern, were purchased by Cirrus Logic.
Is Tripath still in business after filing Bankrupsy?
Can you still buy their modules?

When Pamela J. Craig became CFO of Accenture Ltd. in 2006, she already had spent half her life with the company and its predecessor, Andersen Consulting. Craig was ideally suited for the job, having served in a number of roles as the global corporation grew to the $21.5 billion management consulting, technology and outsourcing company it is today. She spent much of her career in operational units of the company, including leadership roles in the media and entertainment group within the communications and high-tech operations group. "I understand what people need to balance in order to make good business or financial decisions." Toward that end, she says, a high priority is developing an integrated technology platform that unifies the far-flung operations to become a repository for finance, HR and sales data.
As CFO, Craig, 51, says an important part of her job "is to deliver our commitments to shareholders while continuing to make good investment choices for the future business." As vice president of finance, Craig played a role in the company's decision to pay shareholders dividends for the first time. She says she remains dedicated to returning cash to shareholders through dividends and an active share repurchase program.
One of Craig's top priorities throughout her managerial career has involved mentoring and coaching those around her. "The best leaders deliver high performance and profitable growth at the same time they give their highest priority to developing their people," Craig says. "In fact, nothing is more important than teaching those who will follow us, so they are ready to take to the even bigger challenges that our changing world will demand." Craig continues to play an especially active role in supporting other women. "I encourage women to position themselves in stretch-roles with high visibility," she says. Craig belongs to several business groups for women and even founded an Accenture women's organization in Japan. "I work with others to create the kind of open and committed environment that will allow female talent to succeed and flourish."

myPatterns is a lightweight library implementing pattern matching of arbitrary data structures (not just strings) in concrete syntax notations. Default notations such as JSON are pre-defined, but users can override them with new, customized notations for their data. myPatterns is available for C and JavaScript developers, and has already been integrated with querying tools such as JSLINQ and JSONQuery.
mygosuMenu is a set of DHTML menus that feature a separation into three layers (structure, presentation, and behavior), object oriented code that makes it possible to create many menus on one page, and support for most of the key browsers. It is designed to be friendly to search engines and text browsers.
n2 is a client/server system for transmitting forensic snapshots from a number of hosts to a receiver node. This receiver collects statistics and is able to present an overview of the current and historical situation on a server. n2 provides a robust solution for real-time monitoring, optimizing performance, and analyzing crashes.
nCombo allows developers to build fast, rich, data-driven applications based on Node.js. It uses HTTP for file delivery and the WebSocket protocol for data communication, and has an innovative architecture that allows you to call server-side functions from JavaScript on the client. Server-side functions can return multiple times at various intervals and thereby provide streams of data to clients. The use of a number of popular existing technologies minimizes the learning curve. It also includes the ability to embed JavaScript files in a tree-like structure and add custom middleware much like in other Node.js frameworks, session management, and global data management that lets you store data to share between all sessions/clients: the server can emit events and you can specify which clients will be notified using unique session IDs.

text: I was shooting a group of roses - deep red - with lush green leaves around and behind the main subject. It was a low light/low contrast morning and had rained earlier, the flowers and leaves were showing rain drops. I metered on the green leaves and placed them on Z-V, the flowers fell about Z V-1/2. I wanted to use a red filter (#90, factor of 5) and opened up 2-1/2 stops. It was a close up shot and I wanted to use a shallow DOF to capture the Bokah in mid tones and the subject roses sharp and with *etched* detail. The exposure after filter factoring was 1/4sec @ f-4.5 The lens was Zeiss VS 80-200 at about 85mm. The film was 35mm Pan F+ rated at EI 40. The development was: small tank (one roll); DD-X 1:4; 22-c @ 5:30. The results are: Blownout midtones - unprintable even burning at 2X base exposure. The subject roses look good and are quite interesting to me. They are in the area of my intent. My questions come down to: 1) While trying to capture Bokah with a shallow DOF would/could luminosity be scattered to a point different than indicated by a spot meter (Pentax V)? 2) Did I simply process the film incorrectly? 3) Did I incorrectly apply the filter factor (factor of 5 = 2-1/2 stops)? 4) Given the subject to film plain distance of less than 1 meter should I have compensated for that in exposure also? The weather conditions for today and tomorrow are the same as they were a couple of days ago (and weeks before that) when I took the picture and I would like to try it again.

The OECD Development Centre's annual Perspectives on Global Development examines the broad trends and policy issues currently affecting the developing world. Past editions have examined such topics as wealth shifting to the developing world, social cohesion in the light of the shift in global wealth, industrial policy, and boosting productivity.

Shifting Wealth is the first edition of Perspectives on Global Development, a new publication from the OECD Development Centre.
Shifting Wealth examines the changing dynamics of the global economy over the last 20 years, and in particular the impact of the economic rise of large developing countries, such as China and India, on the poor. It details new patterns in assets and flows within the global economy and highlights the strengthening of "South-South" links – the increasing interactions between developing countries through trade, aid and foreign direct investment.
What do these changes imply for development and development policy? The report explores potential policy responses at both national and international levels. Nationally, developing countries' need to re-position their development strategies to capitalise on the increasing potential of South-South co-operation and to fully benefit from new macroeconomic drivers. Internationally, the global governance architecture needs to adjust to better reflect current economic weights.
"OECD Perspectives on Global Development is a very welcome new publication that contributes to investigating the permanent structural breaks with the past now occurring in the global economy. It documents the need to address new challenges in development finance and social development." -- Justin Yifu Lin, Senior Vice President and Chief Economist, The World Bank
"Perspectives on Global Development is a landmark report about the biggest economic story of our era. It describes and analyses the new economic world we live in, where countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America provide the dynamism for future growth. It shows how this shift in the economic centre of gravity is cause for optimism, rather than consternation." --Alan Hirsch, Deputy Director General: Policy, South African Presidency
"Based on the irrefutable fact that some developing economies have grown very rapidly in recent decades, some of this study's analytical and policy conclusions will undoubtedly contribute to important debates as the world strives to draw appropriate lessons from the varied experiences of the last two decades, and especially the last two years." --Jomo Kwame Sundaram, UN Assistant Secretary General for Economic Development
"In this volume, the OECD Development Centre lays bare a new era of economic development. But in doing so, it poses the big questions of sustainability – namely, what development means for the social, political, and economic fabric of an increasingly globalised world." --Stephen S. Roach, Chairman, Morgan Stanley Asia
