Breitling – Dinar Guru …We're in a very very good spot...Our window just got bigger. The value of the dinar – they need to take care of the budget – just got bigger. They just told us that it will be within 3 months that they're going to completely redo this thing and have a plan to implement all this. We've learned a lot in the last month. Probably more than the entire time we've been watching. They're putting the value on the table. They are telling you they need $66 per barrel and they're telling you the oil prices are never going to get there for the next few years. They are telling you …they are going to put this stuff together and implement it within 3 months…they need to be able to afford to be in international markets, protect their reserves and have value added to their currency. That's the only way...
Pimpy – Dinar Guru …I'm concerned about what's going on around the world a little bit…there's definitely something going on. I know the Iraqi dinar is part of it. I haven't figured it out yet but there's definitely something weird going on. There's a lot of stress testing going on, in banks around the world. Stress testing is whenever they try to do a slight shock to the stock exchange or something that would cause a semi panic of people running to the bank and they want to make sure that the bank's first of all are liquid enough so that if there was a mad rush to the bank that they would have enough money to give the people…we're definitely in a unique position right now. How all this ties together I'm not quite sure but it definitely looks like there's something big going on and Iraqi dinar believe it or not is a big part of it.
Breitling – Dinar Guru If the value of their currency is too high regionally…no body is going to want to do business with Iraq because the value of labor is too high. This is how Iraq is going to look at it. They are going to look at that. And they are also going to compare it with them doing business outside of Iraq and they might be able to pull it off. That's how they're looking at it. That's why they haven't made the decision yet. That's why they're taking their time. You guys are in panic mode because you're waiting for your big payday. You don't realize how important of a decision this is for Iraq… [Post 1 of 2]
Breitling – Dinar Guru …They've got to be able to balance…how do they be competitive in the region and also take advantage of the International markets? Because if they go too high – regionally they're going to get cut off. If they go too low they're not going to be able to pay for the local budget. [Post 2 of 2]
Mountain Goat
Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru …I know for a FACT that it is not the CBI so much that is holding back the currency reform portion of the reforms but the "powers to be" (PTB) who may feel Iraq is not yet ready and the Iranian influence and corruption is still not under the desired control. Iraq still also needs to make good on its promises to diversify and get off of oil as it's sole source of revenue. There have been mandates handed down to Iraq to implement before they can or will get back their currency…
MilitiaMan – Dinar Guru Article: "Specialists warn of the repercussions of the devaluation of the dinar" They are beating this into peoples heads… They are not going to devalue the currency… End of story. They are going to go to a market economy. That requires Article 8 compliance…imo. Article 8 compliance is to raise the value of the IQD. imo.
Mountain Goat
Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru …There is now NO sign from the CBI they are doing any actions for a near future RV for the rest of this year. Sorry! For some time it was looking as though we might have a pretty good chance but that chance was killed this week. Now that the finance committee in conjunction with the CBI has re-issued bonds to cover the 3months beyond July – Sept for the salaries. So the pressure is off and we may have to wait a bit longer to see the reinstatement. Maybe January 2021 is coming back into view? Just saying….
Adam Montana
Adam Montana – Dinar Guru The new PM Kazzamie is operating efficiently and effectively. We are going to hear some distractions and criticisms, but he is doing a great job in my opinion.
MilitiaMan – Dinar Guru …They have to raise the exchange rate of the dinar, not the dollar and this is where we are at…they've been telling us and telling us and telling us and we're just waiting and waiting and waiting but the fact remains is now they're at the precipice. They don't have money to pay the salaries. They said they were going to do it. …the pressure is so hard on them to get this done it's probably unbelievable…that's why I've been focused to some degree on these next couple of days to see what they do. Typically they're gonna have to have an excuse when they don't pay these people…they need to raise the value of the exchange rate.
Dinar Investor – Jeff
Dinar Investor – Jeff Article: "The Central Bank Announces Financial Assistance with 3-month salary insurance and talks about the date for the June wage payment" …this level of news right now is walking you into September …the rate change is married to a budget so if you follow the movement of the money you can piece this together…we need to see when that budget goes into effect because the budget and the rate change are married together… they're showing you they're tentatively walking you into September. I'm not giving you a date I'm just giving you an approximate generic information that they're bringing fourth – trying to help you decode this and put the puzzle pieces together…
Kaperoni – Dinar Guru A lot of what has been occurring in the last few weeks has been addressed several times in the past by the World Bank and the IMF. So this is all good news that they are finally taking the steps necessary.
Pimpy – Dinar Guru …I have a feeling this is going to be a really big month for us. There's a lot of things that are popping up that seem to be pointing to this month being a big month. What that means exactly? I'm not sure. There's a lot of speculation…Al-Kazemi is supposed to come here to meet with Pompeo and the president. I told you one of the biggest announcements that we're hoping to hear, and they do it out in the rose garden, is that Trump is encouraging the international community to restore the sovereignty of Iraq for them to be recognized and embraced buy the International community. And he announce the lifting of the restrictions on the currency and that allows it to start trading on the Forex. That's what we're watching for. That's what we're hoping for.
Delta – Dinar Guru …the exchange rate is one of the pillars or economic reform. You can not bring investors in, you cannot have liquidity, you can't have any trust in your country if you don't raise the value first. And all of us know that…everybody knows that the exchange rate is going to change no matter what and the Prime Minister did agree to that…
Breitling – Dinar Guru …they're worried about regionally having a currency that's valued too high. The pressure cooker they're in is that they need to add value to their currency otherwise they're going to go broke. If they add too much value to their currency they are going to go broke. That's just the reality. But what people don't understand is that other countries are in the same position…Iraq basically told everybody they want to get the value of their currency to $3.25. [Wait a minute, you just said if their currency is too high in that region they are going to get their asses handed to them.] That's true. But if their currency was a global currency, then it wouldn't matter would it… [Post 1 of 2]
Breitling – Dinar Guru …Take for example the United States and Mexico. How much is their peso worth. Look at Canada…If Iraq is international they could have a huge high price. But if they're going to be local for right now, regional, then they can't go that high…Let's say their markets are going to be regional and they do add value to their currency it helps them get to international markets. Well if they're in international markets and it becomes more and more dependent on international markets you're going to see the value of the currency keep going up…If it's regional…they're never going to get past a buck… [Post 2 of 2]
Dinar Update
Dinar Update – Reports are coming in from Dinar buyers that some large currency brokers are out of dinar stock. I made a pass through several dealer sites – some are showing they have dinar for sale, some are showing they're out. Buyer Beware – It appears some dealers are completing sales without actually having the currency on hand (betting on their ability to buy some currency in the future, with your money). Wait times for orders have been as long as four weeks. Some of the delays are Corona related. If you want your dinar right away be sure to confirm ship times with the dealer.
BGG ~ This current scenario, IMHO, has purely to do with basic supply and demand principles. There has never been any reliable "pipeline supply" of Dinar from the Middle East to the U.S. This was always a silly thought. The Buy / Sell market here in the U.S. has always had some level of parity between buyers and sellers. Currently there is no such parity.
MilitiaMan – Dinar Guru Article: "Foreign Minister: The Kuwaiti Foreign Minister will visit Baghdad tomorrow" It sure looks like they are signalling inclusiveness and with an urgency! The Kurdistan high ranking Delegation is coming to town and may be arriving in conjunction with the Kuwait Foreign Minister. Lets think about that a moment. Pompeo is the USAs counter part to the Kuwait's Foreign Minister, if I am not mistaken. The USA having had SFA meetings that were well received by all, may not be over just yet. There may be another one or so in the coming days too. I sense signings may be at hand to some very important items! [post 1 of 2]
MilitiaMan – Dinar Guru The IMF has had recent meetings with the" Crisis" Emergency Cell on currency reforms and the modalities or treatment if you will, to cure the current crisis. There will be follow up meetings too. Kinda like a doctor to a patient. Take this alternative we have before us (raise the rate, secondary markets, SDR, Bonds, border fees, taxes and tariffs, reduction in refinery costs, etc.) and let it all take a few days/weeks to start working in conjunction and we will set another appointment for to review your progress, as in WORLD BANK management agreement… lol…imo. [post 2 of 2]
Kaperoni – Dinar Guru If you want to see the Iraqi dinar go up in value which I assume you do…the only way it's going to go up in value is when Iraq's private sector economy grows. Only then will Iraq get off the peg and float the dinar allowing it to appreciate.
Pimpy – Dinar Guru Here's a funny thing you guys might not know. There was an article written by Paul Ryan [Former Speaker of The House]. It was an opt-ed in which he thought it was important that the Iraqi people should probably change the rate to help their economy. Gee do you think Paul Ryan has Iraqi dinar?
RVAlready – Dinar Guru With Iraq in miserable economic shape, I think the RV will be sooner than later. I would think that October would be pretty disastrous for them.
Mike Cottrell
Mike Cottrell – Dinar Guru I believe Trump will not let the RV go until after the election….I do not see any other way this could happen.
Pimpy – Dinar Guru …we are already done with round 1 [U.S. – Iraq – U.N meeting]. Round 2 happens in July [In Washington]. I know a lot of you out there going, 'What does that mean? They kicking the can down the road?" We don't know yet. All that matters in which you should be focusing on – we're probably closer now that ever before…there is a lot going on in a very short period of time.
Mountain Goat
Mountain Goat – Dinar Guru Today's dinar news is all about the ongoing saga of how will Iraq find the necessary funding to pay the June salaries. The pressure is enormous as simply put; they do not have the oil revenues sufficient to pay these salaries (about 4-5 billion US dollars) for June. We know the IMF will not lend them the money and the CBI will not use the reserves. So, over these last weeks we have seen many proposals presented to us. The CBI did end the currency auctions at the end of May and this we know as a FACT. They told us they also are going to aggressively implement the customs and tariffs law and go electronic collection system to do so. But we know this system requires Iraq to be on FOREX since the system uses FOREX in the calculation of the most current rate of foreign currency in order to find the rate and convert it. So how will they do this without being on FOREX? I don't know you tell me…
MilitiaMan – Dinar Guru Article: "Loaded with different materials … Transport announces the reception of 11 ships within three days" They didn't just send 11 ships from around the world with the knowledge that Taxes and Tariffs are adjusting by 07/01/2020 with out some sort of disclosure, assurances, insurance, exchange rate, etc.. The leaks (news) in the Hull of Iraq are showing there is change coming.. The new foundation is about to be set in stone for the people to see.. The NEW IRAQ is about to be Born… NSCNs will be that foundation… imo.
Pimpy – Dinar Guru they should have all their ducks in a row this month. The anticipation is that the rate will happen so that it can help them with the second half of this year. This is the rumors floating around inside the dinar community and to be quite honest that makes perfectly good sense…we know that in many cases when we're dealing with Iraq what makes sense to us does not necessarily make sense – period… or that they do anything that makes sense.
Dinar News Flash
Dinar News Flash The news is flooding in…Iraq's new prime minister has done what no other prime minister in the last 10 years has been able to do. Iraq's parliament voted and seated the last 7 ministers of PM Al-Kazemi's government. If this is fact and it appears to be, this is a monumental accomplishment and fits with everything else Iraq's leader has done in the last month…
MilitiaMan – Dinar Guru Article: "Member of Parliamentary Finance: The country's financial situation is very critical and we are working to get out of the crisis" Another reiteration of what is going on. But, Al-Nassery just told us what he is doing and that is going into the social market economy. That includes the Secondary Markets…They are not going into the market economies of the world at a program rate. The theme is not wait and stagnate it is ACTIVATE!! They say in the current week to come…

I recently saw two friends whom I had once considered my best friends. I saw them separately, weeks apart, yet both encounters felt the same. These were girls I had poured my heart out to, made countless sacrifices for, stayed up too late for and announced to the world on several occasions that they were basically the best thing that had ever happened to me. I stood/sat across from each girl and realized This is what a normal breakup must feel like. I was looking at this person who once had meant the world to me and felt… nothing.
Okay so I felt something, but it was a hollow glimmer of what I used to feel. It was like, Oh yeah, I used to love you. You used to mean everything to me. I would have been willing to do anything for you. And now, I barely care about the words coming out of your mouth. I sacrificed my wants, desires, voice so many times so you could feel heard and now all I hear is you once again info dumping on me about your life, only this time I don't feel the urge to try and fix everything. As you talk, my mind isn't whirling with the perfect words to say. I'm not trying to find words of wisdom or sage advice because it's not worth it. I know you won't take it. I know it won't make a difference to you.
That's how most people feel when they sit down to catch up with their ex post-breakup, right? That feeling of Wow, you're the exact same person I left except now I no longer want to spend the energy to try to fix you or put up with you. It's an awful feeling, truly. I cringe to think how people feel that way about me now. It's horrible to think you can take someone who once was willing to do anything for you and alienate them to the point where they barely even care what happens to you. If any of you are reading this, I apologize from the bottom of my heart. I was so wrong and you didn't deserve that.
Both girls asked how I was doing. They seemed genuine too. Their voices made all the right intonations and their faces made all the right expressions, but I no longer bought it. I could no longer bring myself to believe they were genuinely concerned with my well-being. I'd like to think they really did, but if so, it was beyond too late. I had let myself believe their words of concern and care too many times before. They'd promised me things that sounded perfect at the time. They told me they'd never choose a guy over me, that they'd always be there for me, that they loved me. I believed each word with an eager heart and subsequently watched each shatter like glass as they broke each and every promise. Maybe they believed the promises at the time. I'd like to think so. And maybe they knew they were lying, but it sounded like the right thing at the time. I'll never know.
All I know is that my heart is broken, battered and bruised. All I know is that believing in love again and trust and happy endings and honesty seem like a long way off. Not because some boy didn't want me. Because I trusted that regardless of who I was crushing on or dating or broke up with, that my girls would always be there. I always walk on eggshells with guys. I always trust that they can bolt at any moment. But my friends? My best friends? My girls? They're the ones who are supposed to be there no matter what. That's what The Cheetah Girls & the Barden Bellas & Pretty Little Liars taught me. No matter what singing competition or audition or boy or murderous stalker tried to pull them apart, they always fought to put their friendship first.
I'm not saying I don't have some amazing girl friends because I do and I am blown away by them on a regular basis. But I shouldn't be shocked when my best friend is willing to make sacrifices for me. I shouldn't be moved almost to tears when one of my closest girl friends looks me in the eyes and tells me I'm beautiful and valuable and deserve better than what I've been given. I'm not saying I should expect it or take it for granted. But it should be a given that someone you call a best friend is someone who's going to support you and make you a better version of yourself. And you should do the same for her. It should be a give and take.
Girls, please never overlook the impact you have on the girls closest to you, the ones you call your best friends, the ones you've promised to be there for. When boys screw them over, you're the one who's supposed to be there for them. If you can't do that, don't promise to. Don't tell them what they want to hear just to make them stop crying. When you do that, you're no better than that boy they're crying about, the one who strung them along and told them pretty lies to get what they wanted from them.
If we spent a little less time obsessing over guys and a little more time taking care not to stab each other in the back, think about how much happier we could all be. Boys will come and go until one puts a ring on your finger and these days, not even that is a promise of forever. There is no telling whether that guy you're talking to now is going to be the one you're with for the rest of your life, but if you take care of the girls around you and they do the same, you can have forever with them no matter what happens to that guy who's currently your whole world.
And girls, if you've blown off a friend or stabbed them in the back and they've taken you back, do not take that for granted. Do not expect that every time you've messed up, they'll always be there like it's no big deal when you decide to come back. One day they might wake up and realize they deserve better, that they deserve friends who will actually keep their word and love them honestly. Amazing friends are one of life's greatest gifts. If you're lucky enough to have one, treat her right. If you're lucky enough to be one, trust that people will see that and eventually you'll find someone who's willing to be a good friend back.
Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

On Tuesday in Math Art Seminar, a student and I started to create the shapes we'd need to create a living version of one of Paul's imbalance problems. I made nets for the shapes in GeoGebra and then we cut some out and folded and taped them up. Since then some of my seventh graders created more of these colorful, hangable shapes
Today I attached them to some dowel rods with yarn. Then some of my colleague Kevin's fifth graders and I worked on getting the different parts to (im)balance just right. We made progress, but didn't get it to work quite. Plus we had added so many pennies that the whole thing was getting kind of heavy. Later in the day some of my seventh graders used pennies and staples and were able to get it to work. We hung the finished mobile in the hallway outside of our classroom. Yay! After school I took some pictures and some video. And voilà! Imbalance Problem Vivant!
And it's a good thing I took pictures, because unfortunately by Monday morning the mobile was down. The shapes weren't crushed or anything, so we'll give it another go soon—this time with better securing of the yarn (and maybe a less busy display venue.)

Mobile Payment Marketplace Is Expanding
97.3 million Americans currently access the web using their mobile phones. That number represents nearly a third of the population and will increase to 156 million and almost half the population by 2015, according to eMarketer. Much of that usage is thanks to the expanding usage of smartphones. Nearly 30% of the population will use smartphones by the end of this year, by 2015 it is projected that 150 million Americans will use a smartphone.
Streaming is a popular smartphone activity, as evidenced by research reported by Arbitron/Edison's Infinite Dial Study which found that 8% of smartphone users listen to Pandora daily, and 5% listen to the streams of AM/FM stations. Another study recently found that streaming music from mobile devices has grown significantly in the past year. comScore just released new data showing that listening to music on a mobile phone (smartphones and non-smartphone) grew more than 2% in 3 months to 20.3% of users.
But many reports also show that the US lags other countries in terms of the way we use mobile devices to make purchases. While the mobile payments market has surged 76% in the past year globally, only a small portion of that activity comes from the US. While estimates of the size of the marketplace vary, research firms all agree that it's going to grow.
I'm thinking about the ways that streaming audio on smartphones and making purchases either online or in person using a smartphone go together and wondering if there's some ways that streaming audio campaigns can integrate mobile payment options to prompt immediate responses and boost the effectiveness of ad campaigns..
Forrester Studies Online Behavior
Last week Forrester Research released a new study Understanding the Changing Needs of the US Online Consumer 2010. It's a deep survey that interviewed more than 30,000 US consumers about their media habits. Highlights include:
- High speed Internet connections are the norm, with 91% of the population connecting online through broadband.
- Time spend with TV and Internet are now equal. Americans spend an average of 13 hours per week on each. Time spent with the Internet is up 121% since 2005.
- Time spent with radio (not online), newspapers and magazines is dropping.
The study looked at a variety of online behavior and categorized certain activities as "mass appeal" or not. After email use, which has been adopted by 90+% of the population, shopping online is the most widely popular online activity – in 2007 about one-third of the population was doing so, by this 2010 study more than 60% of respondents shop online . Social networking is the next most popular activity reaching 62 million US Adults. Other activities such as blogging, listening to streaming audio, and IMing are engaging less than one third of the population and will never be mass appeal, according to the study.
Although the study also notes the growing popularity of Internet use with texting and email leading the list of popular activities. Interestingly, despite the fact that listening to music online was basically sidelined by the study as an activity that will never be mass appeal, this chart shows that mobile online listening to music doubled its audience 2007 to 2008 and again 2008 to 2009. Only social networking equaled that rapid growth.
Digital Audio Listening In Car Is Increasing
Online music streaming services such as Pandora and Spotify appear to be driving interest in online in-car audio, according to new data from Vision Critical. In an online survey among a representative sample of 4000+ online consumers in the United States, Britain and Canada, the survey found that one-in-four drivers in the United States, Britain and Canada regularly play personal digital music through their car stereo system, and more than 50% are interested in doing so.
Broadcast radio is still the dominant source of audio in the car, more than three quarters of respondents in all three countries had listened to broadcast radio in their cars in the past week. What's more, numbers indicating an interest in listening to digital audio should not be interpreted as a threat to that. Digital audio sources may well replace listening to cassettes and CDs says the survey.
Young men were the most interested in listening to digital audio in their cars, so stations offering streamed formats that appeal to that demographic will see the earliest benefits of in-car listening to mobile streaming.
Comparisons among listening in the US, UK and Canada are interesting. Streaming audio programs in cars in Canada, where royalty rates are considered too high for entry by Pandora and Spotify. Without them to drive interest, listening is growing more slowly than in the US and UK where Pandora and Spotify, as well as other services, have thrived.
Harman's Aha Moment
Joining the list of manufacturers moving into mobile streaming, Harman International purchased Aha Mobile. Aha Mobile is a technology platform that provides on-demand, interactive, personalized radio to mobile users. It uses location based and text to speech features to personalize and stream audio content. It enables a user to update or listen to a facebook or Twitter feed, receive or share traffic reports, find out what's nearby for lunch, and listen to podcasts.
"Streaming, on-demand Web content technology is a natural complement to HARMAN's premium infotainment systems, and we look forward to expanding the reach of this innovative platform," said Dinesh C. Paliwal, HARMAN Chairman, President and CEO. "We will deploy this new technology to strengthen our global leadership as the provider of choice for rich, interactive infotainment on the road, around the home, or on the go."
Mobile connectivity has become a key feature for auto industry leaders Ford with Sync, and GM with OnStar. GM just announced a new extension of its OnStar connected platform called MyLink which will feature wifi connectivity, streaming audio featuring Pandora, and other voice activated online options.
Aha Mobile had recently signed a deal with Internet radio Ad Network TargetSpot to sell location based audio ads on their mobile streams.
The Driving Force Behind Pandora's New Genre Stations
Pandora, the darling of the US online radio marketplace, recently rolled out genre stations – format based listening channels that enable fans to simply choose a channel and listen to a professionally programmed stream of music. The channels have been in the background for a while but have recently been given more prominence online. Apparently, Pandora is finding out that some listeners want the simple option. Interactivity may be too much work for some listeners.
"I think there's a huge percentage of the population that will always love what the Pandora brand stands for, which is an approach where you start with some artist names and song votes and build your own channel." says Kurt Hanson, Founder and CEO of AccuRadio, an Internet radio service that offers channels that emphasize professional programming and some, but less interactivity. "But there's another segment of the market — an older segment, more mainstream — that will prefer an approach that doesn't take as much effort."
A factor that may be driving Pandora's new promotion of "genre stations" is the prospect of Internet radio in cars. Pandora has b een leading the industry into automobiles, announcing deals with Ford, Pioneer and Alpine this year. In car listening is the final frontier for Internet radio – the place where broadcast radio dominates and lots of folks tune in. It remains a huge untapped potential for audience growth for Pandora and other Internet radio stations.
Radio Listening in UK Reaches All Time High
In the UK radio listening is booming. Radio listening in the UK has reached an all time high of 46.5 million adults, or 90.6% of the UK population (15+), according to new data released by RAJAR (Radio Joint Audience Research).
Rhapsody's IPod Killer
While big online music services like Pandora, Spotify and others (Last.fm, Guvera, MOG…) are getting a lot of attention these days, Rhapsody is often overlooked. Rhapsody has been around longer than the others – they launched in 2001 as the first music service to offer streaming on-demand access to a large library of digital music. Prior to 2001 they were a service called Listen.com.
In 2007 Rhapsody America became a joint venture between RealNetworks and Viacom. In February 2010, Rhapsody's owners announced their intention to restructure the company into a fully independent corporation, a move that took place last week with Viacom and RealNetworks, as well as Universal Music Group, maintaining positions in the new company.
Over the years, Rhapsody has tried lots of things, from offering songs that had to be played in their player to DRM free all-you-can-eat offerings. They've partnered with Verizon, Yahoo, and iLike/Facebook. The service has over 9 million songs in its library, and for a monthly fee of ten bucks they're available for unlimited on-demand streaming. Yet, according to the LA Times, its paying subscriber base dwindled from 800,000 in early 2009 to 675,000 by the end of the year.
This week, on the heels of their reorg, Rhapsody launched a new iPhone app that should spur a bunch of new subscriptions. In addition to unlimited on-demand streaming for ten bucks, subscribers can download their favorite Rhapsody playlists to their iPhone, iPod touch or iPad so they can listen anytime — even when they're not connected to the Internet. From their blog: "Simply launch your Rhapsody app, open the playlist and click the Download icon. You'll need either a 3G or WiFi connection to do this initially, but once the songs are saved to your device, you can rappel into the deepest crevices of the Grand Canyon and still be able to play them back." For ten bucks you get to do this on one device, for $14.99 you can download your playlists to up to 3 devices.
Access to 9 million tunes, streaming on demand plus untethered downloads of my favorite songs onto a mobile device. It's the kind of thing that could make listeners trade in their ipods. (And there's talk that Apple bought Lala to launch something similar). It really puts Rhapsody in a whole new category, but will the listeners follow? Only their history makes me wonder..
Digital Dollars Continue To Grow For Broadcasters
The Radio Advertising Bureau recently released 09 year end and fourth quarter revenue analysis showing that digital platforms were the only revenue category that grew last year. As opposed to Local and National spot, Network and Off-air revenue categories, Digital inventory produced $480 million in 2009, representing a 13% increase in digital revenue.
This is not a strictly streaming number, instead it represents all revenue derived from a station's website, including activity generated by the websites, internet/web streaming and HD Radio including HD2 and HD3 stations. The report acknowledges that radio's digital platform continues to provide listeners more choice and deliver additional options for advertisers who, according to the report "increasingly recognize Radio's loyal audiences who tune in via multiple audio devices such iPods, HD, mobile apps, etc." Specifically, the analysis points out that Radio's opt-in communities, ability to drive website traffic, and and branded online opportunities provide additional revenue builders for the industry.
In addition to providing the only growth category for last year, digital revenue is becoming an increasingly significant portion of the revenue solution for broadcasters. In 2009 it represented 6.5% of total revenue (it's not broken out from all off-air revenue for 2008). Media strategy firm BIA/Kelsey has projected that digital revenues will grow to 30% of radio's number by 2015 and hit $46.5 billion.
Making Money With Mobile Streams is a Snap
Some 30% of mobile phones are smartphones now, and that's been a boon to streaming music services like Pandora who developed great apps for iPhone and watched them soar to the top of the most downloaded apps list. But what about the 70% of the mobile phones that aren't smartphones, and aren't connected to a 3G network via a data plan?
UpSNAP is a mobile platform that offers streamed audio content to mobile phones via a "click to call" option which can easily connect any phone to an audio stream. Here's how it works: the phone dials out and connects to any streaming channel on the Upsnap platform. The charges are based on the minutes used, so lots of the programming is short form, but can also be longer, especially at night when many phone plans offer unlimited free calling.
It's basically an alternative mobile platform for stations who want to reach "feature" phone customers according to Tony Phillip, Founder of UpSNAP. The stations themselves promote the offering to their listeners and drive the traffic. The listener can text the name of the station to *xxx, for example, and they get a return text message with a link to click on to listen to the station. The more traffic a station gets, the more impressions they have available.
Upsnap has developed a nice revenue channel around this model as well – Phillip says UpSNAP is the largest direct response network on mobile phones, serving a quarter billion ad impressions a month – revenue that is shared with the station. Setup is free, it scales endlessly, and offers entry into an untapped mobile audience.

Christy puts up two new Obama ads:
And . . .
She then asks what we think. Overall, considering the tone the campaign has taken, the absolute refusal of John McCain to deal with issues, and the flagrant disregard for the truth or for the intelligence of the American people, I think these are, all in all, pretty wimpy. I have, below, a video feed from an Obama campaign stop in Terre Haute, IN which would have been much better. The first ad has the virtue of being kind of funny - I had flashbacks to my high school days with the picture of the TRS-80 and a Rubick's Cube - but the second ad, I am sorry to say, just comes across as pathetic, Obama begging to be heard above the din.
I am impressed with Obama's insistence on running "a different kind of campaign". By telegraphing ahead of time that he wasn't going to get all sleazy, he opened the flood gates to Republican operatives like McCain campaign chair Rick Davis to beat the crap out of him. He has hit back hard at times, but the attacks by the Republican nominee have been constant, unremitting. They are also ten pounds of shit in a two pound bag, but I honestly believe they couldn't care less.
I hate to say this, but while I am not - yet - panicked, I am concerned that Obama has allowed the McCain/Palin campaign not only to set the agenda and tone of the campaign, but receive by far the greater amount of coverage over the past few weeks. A few more, and better, more hard-hitting ads, I think would boost this Obama/Biden supporter's confidence.

On Sept. 22, Cash offers a partially new digital collection, "The Good Intent EP." The EP, to be released by Capitol/EMI for download purchase from all major digital service providers, contains five songs from Cash's "Black Cadillac" (2006) and "Rules of Travel" (2003) albums, 2 previously unreleased 2006 radio performances and a studio recording and music video featuring her father, Johnny Cash.
"Black Cadillac's" House On The Lake and previously unreleased performances of the album's Radio Operator and Good Intent, broadcast live and recorded on March 1, 2006 for Los Angeles radio station KCRW 89.9 FM's "Morning Becomes Eclectic" and KCRW.com. Also included are the studio recording and music video for September When It Comes, both featuring Johnny Cash, and Will You Remember Me from "Rules of Travel."
Cash's ancestry is the inspiration for the EP's title (and its title track). In 1653, the first Cash family member from Scotland landed in Salem, Mass. on a ship called The Good Intent.
On Oct. 6, Cash will release her 12th studio album, "The List," on Manhattan Records. This features Cash's interpretations of 12 classic songs culled from a list of essential country tunes that her father Johnny gave her in 1973.

Being in a relationship could be the best or worst thing depending on who, when, and how you decide to work thing out. Sometimes, you may think you know exactly what you're doing until you realize some months down the line that there are a lot of things that you've missed. Now your partner is talking about moving in together or even walking down the aisle and you're thinking to yourself, "Is this really what I want right now? What if we moved too fast with all of this?" If this is where you're at and you really feel like you need to slow down your relationship, then you need to ask yourself a few questions. Once you do this, you'll find that the answers to these questions will decide the next step that you take in the relationship.
First, you need to take a step back and ask yourself, "Do I really understand what I'm doing in this relationship?" It is very easy to fall into patterns and get consumed by the infatuation that you've probably mistaken for love. You need to take the relationship apart and identify the problem areas. Do you think you spend too much time with your partner? Have your feelings gone further than they should have at this point? Do your goals align with those of your partner? Are you already sacrificing your goals for this relationship? Are you more excited about the idea of the relationship than the relationship itself? All these questions will help you properly assess where your relationship is at in the moment.
Now that you think you may know what the problem is, you need to speak to your partner about it. It would be impossible to slow things down, if you're the only who thinks/knows that it's moving too fast. Let them know how you're feeling and try to resolve it with them. Remind them that you're still interested in the relationship but you just want to cut back on a couple of things. Through all of this, understand that they may not feel the same way you do so it's your duty to make them understand. Once you can achieve this, it would be much easier to define the pace and direction you both want the relationship to go.
Also, do not force anything. If your partner insists that there isn't a problem, maybe it's time to move on from. It is never okay to force people to do something they are not comfortable and it would never be okay for you to lose yourself in pursuit of a relationship. Sometimes it's okay to accept that the relationship has run its course, and you can totally let go.
Finally, once you and your partner have agreed to take things slow, stick to the plan. Nothing will change until you do, so be intentional about addressing those problem areas you initially identified. Work on those things that set you off in the relationship and pull back on those that make you feel like you're hurrying. If you need to put a hold on some of your long term plans, then by all means do. However, remember that taking it slow doesn't mean avoiding your partner; it simply means trying to build a life together while acknowledging your individualities.

It's been over half a year since we gave you an update on 181 Front Street, a mixed-use project between Jay Street and Bridge Street in DUMBO. Back in July, foundation work was being done. Now, there's some building to be seen. Photos sent to us by our friend Tectonic, show the structure is about two-stories off the ground.
The development will eventually reach 12 stories, rising to 117 feet, according to the latest new building permit. There new building will encompass 105,899 square feet.
Of that, 104,411 square feet will be devoted to 105 residential units. That works out to an average unit size of over 994 square feet. These will be "luxury" rentals, according to the website of Suffern, N.Y.-based Aufgang Architects.
There will be seven apartments on the first floor, 12 on the second floor, 13 each on the third through sixth floors, 11 each on the seventh and eighth floors, and three each on the ninth through 12th floors.
There will be 48 parking spaces in the cellar, as indicated by the Schedule A, though the new building permit indicates 59 spaces. There will be space for 54 bicycles and other amenities will include a gym, stroller room, an outdoor recreation area, and several in-building laundry rooms.
There will be 1,488 square feet of commercial space, with a unit on the first floor.
The project is being developed by Urban Realty and Megalith Capital and includes the expansion of a warehouse at 200 Water Street. That is being grown from a four-story 60-foot-tall structure to a six-story 80-foot-tall structure. There will be 37,374 square feet for 15 condominiums. Completion of the entire project had been slated for 2016.
Whenever it's done, it will be right around the corner from the York St stop on the F train and only a seven-minute walk to the A/C at High St.

Intel reportedly believes foldable laptops could hit the market in the next 2 years. Speaking to Nikkei Asian Review, Joshua D. Newman, Intel's general manager of mobile innovation and vice president of the company's Client Computing Group, confirmed the chipset giant is exploring the idea of foldable laptops with display manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, BEO, and Sharp.
Newman explained that the company is " trying to understand the capability and the limitation of the [foldable] technology." He also revealed that it will take "at least some two years" for foldable laptops to reach the consumer market.
Flexible devices are seen as the future as touted by Samsung and Huawei, two of the world's largest smartphone makers. But the Samsung Galaxy Fold screen malfunction made many tech companies and consumers rethink about the potential of the foldable tech. The situation got so worse that Samsung had to delay the release of the Galaxy Fold after some reviewers reported the $2000 phone was breaking just after two days.
Foldable devices like the Galaxy Fold and Mate X may offer a glimpse to the future, but it's not clear if people are excited about them. Newman appears to be cautious about the foldable display tech, which is still in the early stages. Perhaps the reason why he predicts that foldable laptops are at least 2 years away.
In related news, Intel has confirmed that it will ship 10nm Ice Lake CPUs in June. Looking further ahead, Intel plans to launch 7nm chips, starting 2021.

I will be preaching about Pentecost this weekend. The two texts are Acts 2:1-21 and Philippians 4:4-7. The passages don't normally go together, but the Narrative Lectionary has taken us into Philippians for the past two weeks and then jerked us all the way back to Acts 2 for a late-in-the-year Pentecost. This mash-up creates an interesting connection between the texts.
These texts also intersect with one other text. We often connect Pentecost to the Tower of Babel story in Genesis 11:1-9. The people had one language, they built a tower (or a fortified city) for themselves, and said two key things: (1) Let's make a name for ourselves, and (2) Let's not get scattered into the earth. God saw this and did two things: (1) God confused their language so that they spoke multiple languages and didn't understand each other, and (2) God scattered them into the earth.
The question is this. Was God's action a punishment or a nudge to continue the work of creation?
Some have said that God's actions were a punishment in response to the people's pride. They wanted to be like God, and God was afraid that they might actually get there, so he confounded them in a kind of divide-and-conquer tactic to keep humanity at bay. Having one language was the original good that was lost because of pride. The goal of Pentecost, then, was to restore humanity to its original design and "repair Babel."
What if there was another way to look at this?
God's original blessing for humanity was, "be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth…" (Genesis 1:28). Human language and diversity is not a curse, it is part of God's blessing. The sin of Babel was two-fold. First, they wanted to make a name for themselves, not for God. That is the sin of pride, but in a different way. Second, they were fearful of being scattered into the world. They wanted to wall themselves off and protect themselves from the world and all its dangers, thus not fulfilling God's ongoing process of filling the world with rich diversity.
In Acts 2, God pours out the Holy Spirit on people who had been gathered from the "ends of the earth" for Pentecost. What is interesting is that God did not speak to them all in a mysterious angelic language. Rather, God met each person in their own particular language, and then scattered them back to their own particular cultures. Perhaps Pentecost was not a reversal of Babel in which God unified and homogenized humanity, but was a furtherance of God's ongoing creative mission to scatter humanity with the good news of God's grace–revealed, now, in the person of Jesus Christ–for the glory of God's name. God allowed each person to speak God's name in his or her own language and allow that name to do its work within the context of each culture, redeeming the rich diversity of humanity in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of God scatters us. It draws us together around the risen Jesus, like a deep inhale, and then exhales us into every nook and cranny of creation, in the name of God. God does not force us to speak one language and follow a rigid set of rules. God meets us each in our own language and culture, let's us speak God's name in our own language, and then transforms us within our own culture. The Spirit of God unifies the diversity of these various parts–various languages, cultures, and norms–and forms them–forms us–into one body whose head is Jesus. That is the Spirit of Pentecost.
Whenever God calls us to move outside the boundaries of our safe, well-fortified cities, it is a terrifying experience. Most of us naturally resist being scattered. It produces great anxiety in us. That is why Philippians 4:4-7 is appropriate. Paul comforts his friends in Philippi who were wrestling with their own "scattering" issues by saying, "Do not worry about anything, but in everything by and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."1
- I am ever-grateful to the Narrative Lectionary podcast for sparking these thoughts. [↩]

4 medium peaches, pitted and sliced in half
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 cups fresh lemonade
1. Preheat the oven to 400F.

3. Remove the outside of the peach skins and drop the roasted peaches into a blender. Pour in enough lemonade to cover the peaches in the blender. Puree the peaches completely, until the liquid is a little foamy and frothy.
4. Pour the mixture into a pitcher and stir in the rest of the lemonade. Chill. Be sure to stir up the lemonade with a wooden spoon again before serving!
1 cup of fresh raspberries or frozen
4 bottles of corona (12oz) beer, chilled
1 container frozen raspberry lemonade concentrate, thawed or pink lemonade
1/2 cup good quality vodka
Garnish: lemon slices, or raspberries.

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
Reserve 1 cup of the Riesling – cover and place in the fridge to chill.
In a food processor, puree strawberries with the remaining wine, lime juice and sugar. Pour the mixture into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. When you're ready to serve [or drink], puree the ice cubes with the remaining wine in your blender.
4 cups cubed and seeded watermelon
3/4 cup strawberries, halved
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
¼ cup white sugar
1 cup water (you may substitute Sprite or 7-up instead of water)
All you have to do is blend all of this together in your blender and voila!
1 bottle of Rosè or Prosecco (E. Guigal Rosè or another dry rosè), chilled
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup of Framboise
1 1/2 cup of raspberries
6 sprigs of fresh thyme, washed
Bring sugar, water, and Framboise to a simmer in a small saucepan, stirring just until sugar is dissolved.
Pour syrup over the raspberries and let stand 5 minutes. Add wine and stir mixture well. Chill, covered, until ready to serve. Serve over ice with a sprig of fresh thyme as garnish.
1/2 cup mint leaves
2 limes, cut into
3 inches fresh ginger (cut into thin sticks)

Meanwhile, in a large pitcher, combine the white wine, italian soda, citrus slices, strawberries, meyer lemon skin, brandy and tangerine juice. Stir to combine. Add the cooled basil simple syrup and stir. Let the sangria hang out for about 1 hour and then serve over ice.
6 cups cubed watermelon (if you want a stronger watermelon flavor, use up to 9 cups)
1 (750 milliliter) bottle white wine (I used Moscato)
1 cup vodka
½ cup triple sec
1-3 cups cubed seeded watermelon (I used about 1 cup, but you can use more for more watermelon flavor)
1 medium lime, quartered
1 orange, cut into wedges
1 cup blueberries
Place 6 cups of watermelon cubes in a blender
Blend on high until very smooth
Strain juice through a mesh strainer into a large pitcher
Pour the wine, vodka, and triple sec into the pitcher
Stir to combine
Mix the remaining 1-3 cups of watermelon cubes, the lime quarters, orange sections, and blueberries into the sangria
Chill for 4 hours before serving
1/4 cup pureed watermelon (strained)

Puree your watermelon and strain through a mess strainer until you have 1/4 cup of juice. Add to 1 cup of sweet green tea. Stir and enjoy! It doesn't get easier than that…or more refreshing.

Longmont, Colorado, USA, 12 March 2007 – DigitalGlobe, provider of high resolution commercial satellite imagery and geospatial information products, has announced several strategic initiatives for its commercial business unit.
The upgraded roadmap includes a new Boston, Massachusetts commercial office, along with plans to integrate assets from the recent acquisition of GlobeXplorer and provide non-government technology sectors, such as real estate, internet portals, and location-based services quicker, easier access to the company's digital imagery products.
"The satellite imaging industry is at an inflexion point, and the role of geospatial content is expanding beyond traditional GIS and remote sensing users," said Jill Smith, CEO of DigitalGlobe.
"We eventually see our commercial business comprising about 50 percent of our total business. The Boston office gives us close proximity to a rich talent pool of candidates possessing extensive experience with information and content businesses and a growing commercial customer base on the east coast and internationally. This new office is also part of our transition from a satellite-centric imagery company to a leading provider of geospatial content," Jill added.

Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest crude exporter, boosted shipments to a three-month high in June as production headed for an all-time high.
Exports climbed to 7.5 million barrels a day in June, the highest since March, as output rose to 10.55 million barrels a day from 10.27 million in May, according to data Thursday from the Joint Organisations Data Initiative in Riyadh. Production climbed to a record 10.67 million barrels in July, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries reported last week.
Saudi Arabia is engaged in a battle for market share with Iran and Russia and has cut prices to its customers in Asia while trying to serve growing demand at home as hot weather boosted power demand for cooling. Iran is pushing for an increase in production following the loosening of international sanctions in January. Its exports were little changed in June at 2 million barrels a day while output hovered above 3.6 million barrels a day, JODI data showed.

What used to be exclusively for the realm of people who could afford art materials and an illustrious education at an art college has now become an open source melting pot of deep talents and vast influences. Thanks to the digital age, packaging designers now have access to advanced tools with just the help of their computer.
Aside from the software and resources available online, art and good graphics aren't created in a vacuum. At the very least, you need to get feedback on the portfolio you're building so you can curate your own works to show off your best designs.
So where do you start looking?
It's all about finding your niche and a place where you can handle the criticism. Keep in mind that you're opening yourself up to anonymous thousands who probably cannot understand even half your work within your own context—you have to be ready.
What you need to find first are people who produce similar work. Whether you're into packaging design, graphic arts, product design or other fields, it's important that you're with like-minded people who can give you constructive feedback.
Yanko Design
With over 70,000 followers and a blog full of relevant and useful content, Yanko Design is one of the first places you should go when you want to participate in the Design Discourse. Get your inspiration from their latest designs and products and useful tips on how to survive and thrive in the business of design.
Design Juices
Why would you want to speak to just 2000 people when Yanko Design lets you be seen by 70,000? No matter how you look at it, you can't talk to all of them. Design Juices offers designers deeper critique and meaningful conversation without the need to slog through short comments that do not help you enrich your designs anyway.
One of a packaging designer and any other artist's best friend is a free gallery. Creattica is basically a gallery of free inspiration, tools, fonts and other design elements that members can use. Since it maintains its collection through the members' own designs and uploads, you can get valuable feedback from people who are sharing their own work.
How Design
While How Design can look too commercialized and unreliable thanks to the ads, its popularity is still something to bank on when you're a packaging designer. Visit the forums so you can find veteran packaging designers who can give you valuable feedback and even mentoring. Another great feature of the website is that it also gives you useful links, articles and resources for your own design. You can even get tips on upcoming conferences.
In the end, joining the online packaging design community is about finding ways to collaborate with the talent of the world. Your work can never be created in a vacuum but it's also good that you choose your communities wisely to places where you can work with people who can improve your designs.

When you begin considering all the estate planning options available these days, it can seem overwhelming. It may even keep you from creating a plan at all.
Keep these estate planning mistakes out of your life
Creating an estate plan is one of the most important things you'll ever do, as this impacts you and your loved ones in a number of ways. Without an estate plan in place, there's no way of knowing exactly what will happen when you pass on.
Consider unequal bequests in your will very carefully
When you create your will, it is always best to consider how the terms of the will may affect the people that you include or exclude from it. For many families, unequal bequests in a will can create strong rifts between family members who feel that they were treated unfairly. While your wishes are your own and you have the freedom to leave your property to anyone that you'd like, it is always a good idea to think ahead and anticipate how certain bequests may create conflict.
Charitable remainder trusts can provide annuity income
Establishing a charitable trust is an excellent way to preserve important resources and support causes that you value, allowing you to still benefit financially. If these trusts are properly constructed and thoughtfully planned, they may serve as a strong component of any estate plan. They can help you establish a legacy that may last long after you are gone, helping to tell your story and furthering the issues that you care about deeply.
Estate planning helps prevent family conflicts
For many people, estate planning is a chore that they put off as long as possible. This may make sense in the moment, especially for those who find the idea of estate planning stressful. Often, creating an estate plan forces us to consider our own mortality and the legacy that we hope to leave behind us when we pass away. This is not always comfortable, but the potential harm caused by failing to create an estate plan before it is too late is much greater than the discomfort of considering death.

The Little Diner is a small place that's got a big breakfast following. Actually, it's HUGE. This destination diner in Lionshead is one of the most visited eateries in Vail, and it's packed every morning during the ski season for good reason. With all of the classic diner options — eggs, bacon, potatoes, biscuits, gravy — done consistently well, The Little Diner has earned its reputation as a go-to place before going out on the slopes. Plus, its small size and the elbow-to-elbow counter dining experience becomes endearing, making this a place you'll want to return to again and again. The Little Diner serves hearty lunches and breakfast through the lunch hour, so if it's too busy when you come in the morning, return later after you've worked up an appetite on the mountain.

We had a great men's weekend away in Wales. It is a bit of a shlep to get to but the experience was more than worth it. We did have an early disappointment of the pub running out of lamb shank and I am not quite sure if Pete has yet recovered. The highlight for me was 'gorge walkng which involved jumping into waterfalls in a wetsuit and silly hard-hat. On Saturday night we went down to the beach, built a fire and drank a beer and had good chats and fellowship. We also has some time to worship and pray. Generally, tons of fun and I highly recommend it for any mens group. Actually the truth is our women go every year so we were just keeping up so it's not gender-based!
Here's what we did. A couple of lads got us all organized (thanks to Pete and Jonathan for their efforts), booked the place which is called the Christian Mountain Centre, sorted a minibus and that was it. They have an amazing team of '20 something' outward bound types who sort the activities and tell you what is going on. You need to take a day off on the Friday but our men managed that and loved the time away.
Do think about it.
You will love it and it will be a blessing.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Now that Salute is over, and we've had chance to discuss things with Osprey, we can keep our promise and let you know some of what the future holds.
Both we and Osprey agree that, with the publication in June of Sleeping Dragon, Rising Sun, we'll have pretty much exhausted the potential for full-blown In Her Majesty's Name supplements. Instead, we'll be publishing some mini-supplements as magazine articles. The first of these – the Martian Invasion – will appear in WSS soon after the publication of Sleeping Dragon, Rising Sun. We'll also continue to release smaller articles, company lists, game aids, etc. on IHMN blog – including those you are kind enough to send in, of course.
Although we've discussed various future options with Osprey, none of these have turned into contracts so we have nothing in the pipeline with them. We'll keep talking and let you know if anything changes.
We will, however, be branching out on our own. There are several projects we'd like to have a go at and we've started on the first of these. It's a Japanese medieval fantasy skirmish game based on the same core game mechanics as IHMN but adjusted to the new genre. The working title for this game is Daishō, though this may change by the time we publish, which will be some time towards the end of 2014. We'll keep you posted!
One thing we haven't worked out yet is the best way of publishing future projects such as Daishō. We're looking into several possible publishing routes including pdf only, print-on-demand, running a Kickstarter or finding an alternate publisher. If you have any experience and ideas in this area we'd love to hear from you.
So, onwards and upwards, what!?!

The Ploughman's Lunch
The summer I turned nineteen, I took a trip to the UK with friends. I particularly remember one afternoon in York, after hunting for church mice at the minster and buying chocolate in the open air market, we stopped for lunch at the Golden Fleece Pub. I was low on money, so looking over the menu I picked the cheapest option: The Ploughman, for £5. I had no idea what it was, and when I asked the barman, he mistakenly described a shepherd's pie to me. What arrived at the table was a plate of salad, bread, cheese, some slices of cold sausage, a few parboiled vegetables and "pickle," the mysterious brown, vinegary concoction that I would come to love during my stint abroad. The barman was mortified at his mistake, but on that pleasant, warm day, the Ploughman's lunch was much more satisfying than a heavier shepherd's pie ever could have been and since then I often recreate my own version of that meal with local goodies.
While it sounds charming and historic, the Ploughman is actually a fairly recent idea, ostensibly invented by the British cheese bureau to move more product. Whatever it's history, it's a perfect spring or summer lunch and can be made a hundred different ways. The nice thing is, this isn't cooking, it's just assembling according to a simple template that can flex to fit your needs. I often eat mine without bread, but it's traditional to have a roll or a slice of bread with a good crust to eat with this meal.
Ploughman's Lunch for One (or Two)
Assemble your choices on a plate or cutting board and enjoy. This makes a terrific packed lunch for work that requires no heating.
Lard is a cooking fat that has seen a return in popularity in recent years. For people who follow a "traditional foods" or "nourishing traditions" diet, lard is often a staple, particularly in baking. Lard is high in oleic acid, which helps to lower LDL cholesterol, and is a good source of Vitamin D when sourced responsibly from pasture raised animals (source).
But whether you include it in your diet for health reasons or not, those who don't abstain from meat find that it's a wonderful ingredient for pie crusts, biscuits, for roasting vegetables, etc. It lends a savory flavor and gives pastry a prized short, flaky texture, and has a high smoke point (about 370), making it suitable for frying.
Rendering your own lard at home is simple. A little bit of effort will provide you with a locally sourced, inexpensive cooking fat that will last a long time in your refrigerator. I've used two methods with good success. One is a bit faster, but requires supervision, and the other can be done in a crock pot.

Spring Pickling
Last summer I posted about lacto-fermented pickles–a simple, healthy and frugal way to pickle vegetables. Over the weekend, however, I found myself longing for the sharp tang and satisfying crunch of crisp spring vegetables brined in a vinegar solution. The results were quick and delicious.
To do your own spring pickling, you'll need a few things to start.
1. Heat safe jars. Canning jars are a safe choice. Sterilize them in your dishwasher or by rinsing them with boiling water.
2. Vegetables, cut into 1/2-1/3″ thick wedges or spears. I chose vegetables that could stand up to having warm brine poured over them which speeds up and simplifies the process a bit–carrots, beets and radishes. Small carrots and radishes can be halved or quartered lengthwise, and beets may be sliced into pretty wedges.
3. Vinegar. Choose a vinegar that won't overwhelm the flavor of your vegetables. A heavy or sweet vinegar (such as malt or balsamic) will likely overpower the more delicate flavor of a young carrot. Good choices are apple cider, rice wine or brown rice vinegar, red or white wine vinegar, or even sherry vinegar, if you want something a bit richer.
4. Water. If you typically use unfiltered tap water, you may want to consider purchasing spring or distilled water for its neutral taste. Mineral or metallic notes in your water can really be highlighted by the pickling process.
5. Sweetener and sugar. I chose to use unrefined, organic sugar and sea salt, but you can play with other sweeteners and salts, including maple syrup and pink or kosher salt.
6. Dried spices. You can let your imagination run a bit wild here. I like to keep things simple and add only two or three dried spices to a jar at a time, so I don't muddy the flavor of my pickles, but you can also go for a stand-by mix such as this one. My favorite choices include mustard seeds, chilli flakes, peppercorn, dill seeds and fennel seeds.
7. Aromatics. Such as fresh thyme sprigs and thinly sliced garlic.
The pickling process.
I mix up a solution as follows, and gently heat it in a thick bottomed pot over medium heat. (This will make enough to fill approximately two quart jars.)
Next, I add my spices and aromatics to the jars, pressing them down between the vegetables with my fingers. I'm not very precise about this, but I use about two teaspoons of dried spices and a small handful of aromatics per quart-sized jar. If you want to keep things quite simple, just sprinkle in a few generous pinches of dill seed and call it a day.
When the vinegar solution is gently simmering, remove it from the heat to cool for a few moments. While it is still hot to the touch, but not scalding, carefully pour your vinegar solution into your jars so that the vegetables are covered. (If you need a bit more to top off, use a 2-1 vinegar to water solution.)
Allow to cool for a few minutes before putting lids on the jars. Screw the lids on very carefully and gently shake the jars to distribute spices. Allow to sit on the counter overnight, then refrigerate the next day.
They are ready to eat after 24 hours and will continue to pickle in the refrigerator. Try to enjoy these pickles within a month or so.

Sony Ericsson W205 Walkman™ Phone sudah diumumkan tanggal 8 April 2009 yang lalu, dan sebentar lagi akan tersedia di pasaran. Dalam rangka memasarkan produk terbaru dalam jajaran seri Walkman yang ditujukan untuk kelas pemula ini Sony Ericsson bekerja sama dengan beberapa agensi periklanan menggelar kampanye untuk mempromosikan W205 dengan mengusung tagline My First Walkman™ Phone.
McCann Erickson, sebuah perusahaan agensi periklanan global ditunjuk untuk memimpin kampanye tersebut. McCann Erickson akan dibantu oleh Burson-Marsteller, iris dan Mediaedge:cia.
Hal tersebut dituangkan dalam press release berikut :
Walkman™ phone experience reaches new audiences thanks to Sony Ericsson's communications agencies
15 July 2009
The iconic Walkman™ phone sub-brand is now more accessible than ever before and to highlight this to consumers, four of Sony Ericsson's communication agencies have developed a launch campaign, which starts today
London, UK – 15th July, 2009 – Sony Ericsson's new W205 Walkman™ phone delivers a great music experience with its Walkman™ player, FM radio and TrackID™ music recognition. The W205 also enables users to easily share the handset and content with family and friends – its multiple phonebook feature lets up to four users create personalised contact lists that are kept separate, and the Bluetooth™ functionality offers image and video sharing.
Sony Ericsson challenged its agencies to create a consumer campaign which focuses on the idea that the W205 is "My First Walkman™ Phone", as it is an affordable mobile phone that is accessible to everyone, offering the quality expected from the Walkman™ brand.
McCann Erickson led the campaign, supported by Burson-Marsteller, iris and Mediaedge:cia, and they developed the theme 'My Personal Music Revolution' to effectively show how everyone is able to enjoy the full Walkman™ experience and get the most from the handset's music features.
Carolina Ortiz, Global marketing communications manager at Sony Ericsson, comments: "The W205 is for those who love portable music but have never had the Walkman™ phone experience. As the most affordable Walkman™ handset to date, more young people can now revolutionise their music experience by taking their music with them everywhere."
To communicate the benefits of the W205, consumers will be reached through multiple media channels, including:
Print and billboard advertising
McCann Erickson developed a campaign to celebrate the W205 at an accessible price, with all the features consumers need to fully enjoy every moment. "Welcome to your own personal music revolution" was created to engage a youth target audience group and the advertisements have vibrant visuals of a multiplied person dancing and enjoying their music. The ads can be seen as single and double page spreads, as well as out-of-home advertising and some special format materials that emphasise the overall campaign concept.
Public Relations
Burson-Marsteller created a strategic global PR campaign with various consumer tactics and materials that all local markets could use to outreach to relevant media. Globally generated PR materials, including press releases, Q&As and toolkits, were developed, along with product factsheets, a social media news release and a product tutorial with the international Hed Kandi DJ, Sam Cannon.
Retail and Digital activation – Working with the 'music revolution' idea and strategy, iris created an immersive BTL in-store campaign that not only covers the core consumer journey but also builds on the revolution concept when it comes to activation. iris also developed a website allowing users to create their own music revolution. Visitors simply have to pick one of the rooms that are displayed on the website and play their music through a microphone on their computer. They will then either see the crowd in the room revolutionised, with enthusiastic cheering, or else throwing tomatoes at the screen, a direct effect of whether or not they like the sound of the music.
Media planning and buying – To initiate buzz and conversations around this new Sony Ericsson campaign, Mediaedge:cia's strategic media outreach programme combines a mix of online, strategically placed outdoor and print advertising to drive consumers to make a purchase.
The New W205 Walkman™ Phone
Love your music revolution with the following features:
- Enjoy your music with the high quality Walkman™ experience
- FM Radio – catch up with the latest news and views
- TrackID™ – name that tune at a press of a button
- 1.3 megapixel camera – take great shots and share the fun instantly
- Video recording – capture your favourite moments on film
- Bluetooth™ – share your favourite songs, pictures and video clips, or connect to a wireless headset
- Multiple phonebook – keep your contacts in order and share your mobile phone with your family
The W205 Walkman™ phone supports GSM/GPRS/900/1800 and W205a supports GSM/GPRS 850/1900. W205 Walkman™ phone is available in the colour Ambient Black.

http://myanimelist.net/anime/4581/Shikabane_Hime:_Aka
is a fairly strong series.
The Action Girl can get into serious combat because she can't be killed by normal means – she's undead. She's superhuman, but not especially strong, so she has to fight with weapons. It's a somewhat gloomy series, because she doesn't want to die, and she doesn't want to be undead, and she doesn't even enjoy fighting a whole lot – she would rather have had a normal life and a normal death.

wraps up most of the major questions, but leaves a big space so that the writers can do a final story if the get funding.
Damn it, Japan.
All I ask for is a story that is coherent and complete within itself. If you keep making stories with more room to grow, you get the ideology of the cancerous tumor that always wants to grow and never acknowledges its limits. Shikabane Hime did an excellent job of committing to its characters and its setting. The writers are obviously capable of committing to the plot. The producers should give the writers an opportunity to make that commitment.
