This blog
Category archive: This and that
For much of yesterday, the world economy teetered on the edge of chaos, on account of this blog being out of action. In the USA, people from all walks of life complained that, without this blog, sneering at Brits and celebrating the defeat of Britain in the revolutionary war of 1776 or whenever became too difficult, without this blog as an explanation for their otherwise incoherent resentment.
Australians wanting to find out who won the Ashes in 2011 had to look elsewhere for news.
And all over Europe, policy makers, seeking light relief from their self-imposed task of ensuring that the EU goes out with a huge bang rather than with an orderly and rational recognition of what ought really to be done, looked to BrianMicklethwaitDotCom for solace. But it was not there.
How can we be expected to lead the European economy over a cliff in the proper manner, exclaimed Big European Cheeses, if we can't divert ourselves every now and again with pictures of London bridges, and of new London towers, like the big spiky one and the one with the three holes in the top? After a hard hour fretting about Spaniards who are about to riot and then die of starvation unless we print some more money and give it to ourselves, we need to be able to contemplate roof clutter, stuff about something called "Samizdata", and photos of London tourists taking photos, another Big European Cheese added.
Fortunately, BMDC came back on line yesterday afternoon, and the happiness of the world and the orderly progress of Europe towards self-inflicted ruin was reestablished in the nick of time.
Tidying up, with me, doesn't happen because it's that time of the month or the week or the year, or because the place just generally needs tidying up. It happens because I am looking for some particular thing. It is there, under the chaotic topsoil. But where? Let the archaeology begin.
Rather than just scatter the topsoil up into the air randomly, which even I know will massively increase the chaos, I instead find myself sorting the topsoil out, into crude categories of different topsoils. By topsoil, I mean basically: paper. Somewhere under all the paper is that particular piece of paper, or clutch of paper, that I seek. Twice in the last fortnight I've had a day like this. The earlier tidying frenzy was to find the book of words for an electrical gadget, which was duly found. Today's frenzy was to find an ancient financial document, which if found will yield money. Today as before, many other lost and forgotten objects of value also surfaced. Today has been more complicated, and must continue tomorrow. The financial document has yet to materialise.
I managed to chuck out quite a bit of topsoil. Well, not yet, but the chuckable out topsoil is already in quite a big pile of its own. But to make room for that, I had to take out previously accumulated piles of topsoil, to make way for the new topsoil that would then have to go also. And to take out the old topsoil I needed bags, bags which had been doing other stuff, and had never been unloaded. So that had to be done too. And so the task elaborated, before I do this, I will have to do this, and in order to do that, I will first have to do this. And so on. But progress was made.
Cricinfo a few minutes ago:
Anand: "Did anyone notice, today's 20-10-2010?" Did you?
Not me, until Anand said. India now need 77 runs at exactly 7 per over, with 7 wickets left, to beat Australia.
First it was the captain of the England cricket team (Botham). Then it was the Prime Minister (Blair). Now the dead people are starting to be younger than me.
My problem (one of my problems) is that I accumulate open windows, to things I don't want to forget about, and which I am hence reluctant to shut. But these open windows, and all the advertising shite they come with, clog up my computer, or so it feels to me.
Now I am sure there is a better answer to this problem than the one that follows, but for now, my answer, today, is to stick a few such links here, where they won't vanish in half a day and where anyway I know my way around.
The Web Is Dead. Long Live the Internet. Note, incidentally, the disastrous headline punctuation. Punctuation in headlines says you can't have a full stop at the end of a headline, but that you can have whatever punctuation you like in the middle of the headline, fullstops included. Bizarre. (Not that that's why the piece interests me.)
That Codevilla piece about the American ruling class. Actually I think a major part of this story is that it isn't only the American ruling class. It's a global, or at least beyond national, class. The entire West that was is starting to be ruled by a united gang of interconnected people. Rulers of The World Unite. You have nothing to lose but the love of your dreary little voters. (To "love", should I add "consent"?)
On the Validity and Necessity of Atheist Criticism of Islam. I like Edmund Standing a lot. Mostly I agree with this. But, I think he makes too little of the differences between Christianity and Islam. Christianity is bonkers but Islam is downright evil. (Although, I do admit that Christian anti-semitism is deeply embedded in it.) The problem I have with Islam is not only that it is so false. It is that it so nasty. Allah does not exist, but if Allah does exist he should be opposed. This is somewhat less true of the various Christian versions of God, especially nowadays.
The Vanity Fair Sarah Palin piece. I want to read this to see if it actually says anything more than: she's a politician! Is she going to run for President? If she gets to be President will she be a quite good one, as Reagan (won the Cold War - only talked about stopping the US state spending rise) was. Will President Palin, that is to say, actually stop the US state spending rise?
The Chinese state media global offensive. Were a time traveller from a hundred years hence to invite me to guess what sparked the Big War of 2037, I'd guess China versus someone, rather than Islam versus anyone. Islam has the will to Big War, but looks unlikely at all soon to command the means to wage it. (I include Iran in that judgement. There is more to having a Bomb than just having a Bomb. You must also have the means to attack the other guy's Bomb, and to defend your remaining Bombs, which you must also have.) And I have long believed that being able to fight wars is more important in their causation than merely wanting to. I mean, few great powers unambiguously want to fight major wars, because they have too much to lose. But, from time to time, they still did, and might one day again. Hopefully The Bomb will continue to work its terrifying magic, and Great Wars Between Great Powers will continue to not happen, but how long will that last?
I want to do a Big Piece on Samizdata about all that, Real Soon Now. Globalisation as we now know it, i.e. the version where we don't fight global wars against one another, is more caused by The Bomb (which first happened in 1945) than by Modern Electronic Communications (which first happened in 1842). See Global Ruling Class, uniting of, above.
That should clear out my computer's tubes a little.
This link dream posting did the trick. It remembered a whole clutch of stuff for me, thus enabling me to forget it all and get on with my life, i.e. with piling up more links on my screen. So here's another expulsion onto the blog of the things I seem to be finding interesting just now.
Japanese mobile phone novels, continously updated, like a Dickens novel first published in a popular fiction magazine. What's happening is that suburban angsty girls are writing stream-of-consiousness alter ego stories, which are then being hoovered up by publishers and are now selling, really selling, as books. Which has got all the publishers excited and that has got the old school book writers excited. Is that how art forms start? People start them, for their people reasons, and in their downmarket people languages. Then, after the concept has been commercially proved, the artists climb aboard, or maybe some of the original creators acquire artistic ambitions.
We now living in the age when telly soap operas are going from something liked by mere people to something done with artistic as well as commercial considerations in mind. Time was when the artists despised soaps. Only people like those! Now, artists take soaps seriously, and are doing serious soaps. Not necessarily any better, mind you.
NHS accident and emergency grief.
The Best Book on the Market, the blog.
Technology Review does water into hydrogen, cheaply, and e-paper faster and in colour.
Via the always worth keeping up with City Journal, Hollywood goes right wing.
Engadgetry. More laptops, with proper keyboards I mean, small and cheap.
Hit & Run on Two kinds of libertarians. Most libertarians already have this distinction in their heads, expressed one way or another. I have long thought of me and my fellow libertarians being Next Steppers and/or End Staters, with the Libertarian Alliance tending strongly towards the End State end of things. What would improve things a bit, now? Where should it all be heading? In this Hit & Run piece, it's Policy Libertarians and Structural Libertarians. The second is an unsatisfactory expression, I think, because it does not explain itself. It has to be explained.
However you label such categories, they do tend to overlap quite a lot. One of the most valuable Next Steps is to talk, whenever you get the chance, about desirable End States. End States may not be practical politics, yet, but talking about them is, and that can even apply to regular politicians. David Cameron, for instance, is not doing as well as he might right now because all he is doing is second-guessing the government with his preferred Next Steps, and trashing the government's Next Steps. All very well as far as it goes, but how are we all going to be rescued from this mess? Will it just be ever more depressing Next Steps for ever? Answer (see and hear here): talk also about the desired End State that these Next Steps ought all to be enabling us to reach, as soon as we can.
There is a particular benefit attached to the link dump technique of blogging as per this posting, for all bloggers suffering from blogger's block - which is me, often. It gets you started. All you are saying is a little something about each link, and maybe not even that. But a little something can quickly then mutate into a bigger something. A couple of the blurblets above could easily have been separate out as individual blog postings. The posting immediately below this one - about Michael Flatley, God, etc. - did begin life as part of this posting and was then copied and pasted out onto its own.
I have accumulated lots of open windows, so let me spew them out here and then I can shut them.
I have finally got around to adding the UK Libertarian Party blog to my blogroll. I wish them well, but am not optimistic, simply because any new political party is the very devil to get established without ridicule, internal dissension or general demoralisation, after the first thrill of it getting vaguely airborne has worn off.
Thank you David Farrer for the link to this review of the Lumix camera I keep going on about here. But here's a lady who explains why she hates EVFs
More on the madness of the contemporary art market. Saatchi comes out quite clever, cleverer than the writer seems to understand. He buys art cheap, puffs it, sells it expensive. Sounds like he's been making money. It's his customers who must now be suffering.
Iain Dale has a picture up of a funny-ha-ha gravestone of GORDON BROWNS ECONOMIC REPUTATION. So where's the apostrophe?
Computerised skiing machine. Meanwhile, Alan Little has been checking out where you can do the real thing, in a number of postings starting here.
Now design students aren't just designing stuff, they're getting it built as well.
Lebrecht lambasts the New York Philharmonic. And here.
A cute portable keyboard, and I seem to have scrubbed the window before noting the link. Anyway, it was very small and folded down the middle and fits in a pocket. These things seem to have disappeared from the shops. Maybe it's because what you want is not a portable keyboard, but a cheap extra keyboard, to keep wherever you camp with your too small laptop. And cheap means regular, not clever. Ah, found it.
New double decker bus designs, which I got to via David Thompson's latest clutch of ephemera. But the thing about the double decker bus is that it is such a strong design to begin with that all subsequent double decker buses just look like ... double decker buses.
What's black and white and over? Yes, newspapers. But it's important to get the causal links in the right order. What is ruining newspapers is not necessarily that they're shit, although some are. It's that their advertising is deserting them and they stop being viable businesses. While newspapers last they are supporting a generation of rather good, paid bloggers. But what happens to all that pro-blogging when the newspaper money isn't there any more?
And that clears my screen. Thankyouverymuch.
This posting has been like dreaming. Random accumulated notioins that my subconscious needs to get shot of, and which it therefore shows to the conscious mind for one final time. Does this mean anything? Thought not. Just checking. Now, about this play that you don't know your lines for ...
I enjoy whatever I do at least three times as much if I write about it, here or somewhere. That way, instead of merely doing it, I do it, write about it, and can read about it later. Also, others talk to me about it. But the ratio of doings to writings can get way out of hand, with far too much getting done and hardly written about at all, to the point where it might as well not have happened.
So, for instance, I spent the whole of last weekend at the LA(/LI) Conference, but have so far managed only two short and exhausted postings about it, and have written nothing at all yet about what anyone said, and may never. Then, on Monday night, I and three other Transport Bloggers went out to dinner, at a restaurant where the tables double up as computer screens and you can order your food with a laptop-type mouse-pad thingy. I took pictures of all of these excitements, but so far have only managed to post a blurry picture of Marc-Henri Glendenning. Yesterday I went out and about, and then immediately wrote about it here, which was all well and good but also caused those earlier excitements to fade that little bit from the memory. I need a few days of staying in and catching up.
To say nothing of cleaning up and sorting out. In, up, up, out - what a peculiar language ours is. My small but should-be-adequate home is suffering from infrastructure overload, another sure symptom of having too much of a life, and the resulting chaos is simultaneously becoming covered in dust, so that I dare not move anything without unleashing throat cancer. In this case I am turning the cleaning up and sorting out into a pleasurable activity by writing about it here beforehand. When I finally get down (down?) to doing it (if I do it – I promise nothing) my worldwide fan base will for some while have been asking itself: I wonder if Brian's now doing his cleaning up and sorting out. And I will be thinking: yes I am.

Top 5: Neighborhood hangouts in Tel Aviv
By MOLLY CUTLER
10/11/2012 12:21
Considered a landmark by locals, Haminzar on Allenby is open 24/7 and is nearly always packed.

There's nothing better than finding neighborhood hangouts where you can enjoy a drink or meal, recognize friendly faces, and feel like you can relax for hours.
When exploring a new city, finding such places filled with locals and authentic food can be a challenge. However, they are definitely out there in this treasure trove we call home.
From super casual bars to the quaintest of cafes, here is a list of the top 5 neighborhood food and drink destinations in Tel Aviv.
This classic neighborhood bar lies at the intersection of King George Street, Nachalat Binyamin, and Allenby, one of the busiest junctions in Tel Aviv.
In an area notorious for its grunge and tourists, Haminzar's laid back vibe and sprawling patio creates for a casual, relaxing experience in an otherwise hectic area.
Considered an "establishment" in Tel Aviv, whether old or young, this is the perfect place to catch up with friends for a beer, gather for happy hour after work (daily from 8 p.m. – 10 p.m.), or sit with a glass of wine solo.
Choose from a wide variety of beers on tap, wines, and hard liquors. It's the ideal place to sit back, unwind after a long day, and even in fashion-conscious Tel Aviv, it's acceptable to arrive in sweats and a t-shirt.
Insider tip:
Always opt for a table outside, unless it's raining of course!
Allenby 60, Tel Aviv (03) 517-3015
Hours: Sunday to Saturday: 24/7
Not kosher
Cafe Michal
Cafe Michal rests in Tel Aviv's Old North. It's one of the sweetest cafe bistros in the city.
Surrounded by a privatized patio filled with flowers and bursting with charm, the restaurant's uniquely calming setting is merely one dimension of the Cafe Michal experience.
The eclectic menu features classic breakfast items including the Israeli breakfast, French toast, and protein packed muesli. Salads, sandwiches, and delicious toasts are available for lunch, while traditional Israeli and European dishes such as schnitzel, meatballs, and beef stuffed peppers fill the dinner menu.
Whether you live in the area and are in search of an easy-going, high quality meal, a coffee outing or are coming from farther away, Cafe Michal is worth the trek for an intimate time.
Insider tip:
Take notice of the many people working with their laptops and papers at this cafe, as it's known for attracting authors and writers who live in the area.
Dizengoff 230 (corner Jabotinsky), Tel Aviv
Hours: Sunday to Thursday 8 a.m. – midnight, Friday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. – midnight.
Phone: (03) 523-0236
Not kosher
Armadillo is the epitome of a small, personable neighborhood Tel Aviv pub. It lies in the center around the Rothschild area on Ahad Ha'am Street, between the beautiful Bauhaus architecture-filled Mazeh and Balfour streets.
Choose from an assortment of beers, wines, and cocktails. This intimate hub serves up authentic Georgian food, featuring meat dishes as the main stars. So, if you're in the mood for some comfort food and a drink, this is the place to be.
Come with a friend or arrive alone and get acquainted with locals at the bar.
Insider tip:
Grab a seat at the bar and chat with the bartenders. They're super friendly!
Ahad Ha'am 51, Tel Aviv (with an alternative location at Dizengoff 174, Tel Aviv) Hours: Sunday to Thursday6 p.m.– 2 a.m., Friday 8 p.m. – 3 a.m., Saturday 7 p.m.- 3 a.m.
Phone: (03) 620-5503
Not kosher
The Streets Cafe, King George
The best thing about The Streets is that it seems fitting for every occasion. It goes from the ultimate brunch place in the mornings to a comfortable lunch spot midday to a hopping, restaurant/bar at night.
It's also a great place to bring your laptop and plug away for hours without so much as a glance from the wait staff. I have had only positive experiences with both the food and service at this "one stop shop" of a cafe.
Go there regularly and the staff will start to recognize you, which is always a plus.
Insider tip:
After a long night out in Tel Aviv, nothing beats a lazy morning at The Streets where portions are large, the coffee is strong, and people are friendly!
King George 70, Tel Aviv (with alternative locations at Ishtori Ha Parhi 20, Tel Aviv and Ibn Gvirol 114, Tel Aviv)
Hours: Sunday to Saturday: 24/7
Phone: (03) 620-1070
Not kosher
Va'ad Habayit
While this bar resides on the prestigious Rothschild Boulevard,Va'ad Habayit is far from intimidating.
This neighborhood bar is located in the center of the Tel Aviv nightlife, providing the optimal place to meet up with friends before a big night out or a perfect way to end the night.

A companion to Jeffrey Zeldman's Designing with Web Standards, this book approaches standards from a more tactical and instructional point of view. Today's web designers and developers need to update their skills and knowledge and get away from out-of-date table and font-based approaches. In Developing with Web Standards, they will learn current best practices in standards-based development. The topics covered are based on the author's extensive experience from the professional development trenches and will give readers a thorough grounding in contemporary web development technologies and techniques with a focus on relevant emerging aspects of HTML, CSS, and other web standards.

"Great companion to Zeldman's book" - by Pragmatopian on 14-SEP-2012
Reviewer Rating:
I read this on the back of reading Jeffrey Zeldman's 'Designing with Web Standards' and I must say it is a well-judged companion piece.
If you're looking for 'one manual to rule them all' this isn't it, but it covers the most important principles well and gives you pointers to other sources that you can look to for a more in-depth treatment of particular topics.

Tumblr Stafftodays best Dolla' come up
My new hummingbird shirt… I'm super into these little guys as of late and want to shoot a whole series
I was looking for a white shirt to put a hummingbird on as is. Yeah
Oil, Oil Everywhere and Not a Drop To Drink (wait I can't drink oil… I meant water)
correct me if you think this is wrong…
I don't think bp wanted to shut down the oil spill. It's not in their best interest, and that is a huge issue when you leave public services and products to private for profit entity's.
Oil is a natural product, ie. It comes from nature and logically should not be charged, and should be used less if even used. Granted I understand refinment storage and conveninence but that is not important in what I am trying to say.
The thing is if there is an oil spill, bp and other companys do not pay for the oil itself really. Hence why it is so profitable. They do pay for workers refinement etc. but that is such a small fraction. So when a spill happens if it was not for the lawsuits and such (theres talks of them claiming bankruptcy which, well you know what that means kind of) since they are "losing" oil/ money the price of a barrel of oil will rise which happens in the summer as is. Now though there is a "reason"it will most likely shoot up more… and expect the next "oil crisis"
If there was no public pressure on this issue, the whole thing would be a gain for them, and still will probably be.
example… at least in my head.
I have a water business. In the back of my house is a nice lake. There is a filter on the spout. . I am the only supplier around, and you depend on me as I live on the only source. You come and buy the water, even if you spill the water and want more I will charge you. I even hope you spill it because I will charge you and may even raise the price because I make you think there is only so much in the lake (which there is but if anything I will connect to another stream a town over or find a way to tank it in)
The whole time I have the water running myself 24/7, and when the water runs low even I ask for federal assistance and your money from your taxes to cover it, though my money already comes from you.
If something happens say a natural dam and I can only get part of my lake. I will tell you we needs to raise the price of the water, as we are having trouble taking care of the undamming. I'm not paying for the water anyway, and until there is a need to do it why would I take care of the dam? I'm profiting even more, your scared that there is a water shortage so you stock up at the high prices buying barrels and barrels of it. All the while the damming is hurting wildlife, and causing a drought in the area, local farmers can no longer afford to give their crops and livestock the water they need.
Another time we will talk about about how since this is happening and the area is losing its value and you can no longer afford to live. You will lose your house and my formed company will buy it for pennies on the dollar. We will then fix the dam. Raise the town back up. Give new people a small wage at the water factory (we are now a factory because we distribute all over the world now). The company will also make amusements and things which we own as well. The water price will never be the same as it was either and we are still making a huge profit.
Ah Crap
this was an accident, pretty much, for real
I get these shirts for free, and since i have a wide phone I put it in the shirt when I listen to music. This is just the new color for me
I wore this yesterday too, and shawn found a t3 for me online.
and when the guy brought over the camera he woke me up at first saying I will meet you in japantown in 3o and I was like I can't make it, then I fell back asleep and he said he would see me by my house in 5. I put on my glasses.
but well I have an ideal hipster costume, and a rad new camera for 30 bucks… came with a little case too.
Shawn said now we are yashica and raleigh brothers, thats taking it to far… but shawn you hooked them both up, and its another reason I love you
fuggin' fun police
seems like every time people are trying to have fun (or just live) they show up.
This is 3rd and Army… If you dont skateboard you will probably never ever see this place in real life Its remote, homeless camps off of a freeway, parked lived in buses, it smells like crap.
What a surprise? you look to see what a lady is packing and what do you find'? a cd player… if you dont know what that is they were like a dvd but the only played music for the most part. We used them before Ipods

The Supremes
The Supremes
The most successful American performers of the 1960s, the Supremes for a time rivaled even the Beatles in terms of red-hot commercial appeal, reeling off five number one singles in a row at one point. Critical revisionism has tended to undervalue the Supremes' accomplishments, categorizing their work as more lightweight than the best soul stars (or even the best Motown stars), and viewing them as a tool for Berry Gordy's crossover aspirations. There's no question that there was about as much pop as soul in the Supremes' hits, that even some of their biggest hits could sound formulaic, and that they were probably the black performers who were most successful at infiltrating the tastes and televisions of middle America. This shouldn't diminish either their extraordinary achievements or their fine music, the best of which renders the pop vs. soul question moot with its excellence.

It feels like it is the end of an era… My humming birds are gone. I have not seen one in over a week… I will take down their feeders and wash and store them in hopes of the little birds return next spring. I guess the cool nights that have come early this year have caused them to leave early too.
A storm ruined the buddleia bush and it had to be cut down… There are limber green sprouts growing from its stump. The bush… like the humming birds… will come back.
The squirrels are out in full force gathering up the acorns from the water oak trees. Impish little hoarders! There are no pecans to argue with them over this year. The many heavy storms blew the nuts down before they were ready so the squirrels are welcome here this fall.
The concrete bird bath must be dumped soon so as not to freeze in the cold but for now it is still the public meeting places of various birds… chipmunks and some times a curious or… heaven forbid… hungry cat.
We… and this old place… have fared well through the storms… what are a few tree limbs… more or less?
It is a gray overcast day here and the fog comes and goes between the gold and bronze of the autumn leaves… It's quiet beautiful and the absence of red in the leaves almost makes one hope for frost… almost… for there are some cardinals that lend themselves to the fall foliage… providing a splash of red here and there. I will settle for that for now because I realize the cold will come in its own good time… and winter… and then spring… and… oh yes… humming birds again!

The Mobile Male is active and invested: this we know. But what of his female counterpart? Research suggests women smartphone users are not just ready to accept mobile media, but to substitute it for other mediums they're already comfortable with. But their adoption rate seems to lag a little behind men. Why?
It may have something to do with their innate behavior - or, more specifically, overcoming it. Traditionally women have been more likely to want to physically interact with the products they're considering buying - to touch, feel, smell, and test them before committing to a purchase. Slowly, however, they're starting to recognize the benefits of putting this aside. An August 2011 BabyCenter survey, "Shopping Rituals of the American Mom," found that 28 percent already use their phones to compare prices, while 71 percent rely on websites. It won't be long before they recognize the convenience of using the mobile web for this purpose and the two mediums converge.
Another factor contributing to women's slower adoption rate is the degree to which advertisers are currently targeting them. Global mobile media company BuzzCity reports that of the 2.8 billion mobile impressions it served in the United States during Q4 2011, 62 percent were served to men and only 38 percent to women. And yet, female adoption rates are on the rise. Already more than 40 percent of smartphone users in the U.K., Thailand, and South Africa are women, compared with at least 30 percent in France, Germany, Mexico, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, and the United States (the latter currently boasts a divide of 62 percent male, 38 percent female).
That said, women are growing increasingly aware of mobile advertisements. According to InsightExpress and its Q1 2012 Digital Consumer Report, 46 percent of women report having seen a mobile ad while using the mobile Internet or a mobile app. This number falls shy of the males' response - 69 percent - but it's still significant. If almost half of all female smartphone users are noticing ads, that means one of two things: either they're growing more aware of the mobile landscape, or advertisers are doing something right with their ads.
It might be a little of each, given the survey results on how consumers react to mobile ads. Twelve percent of women liked the mobile ads they saw "somewhat," while 38 percent "neither liked nor disliked" the ads. Again, this is an indication that while female consumers aren't yet as engrossed as males, they represent a viable consumer base with the potential to be converted into more devoted mobile users.
How? Here are a couple of starting points.
Will 2012 be the year that women smartphone usage reaches its tipping point? I can hardly think of a more relevant and useful medium for busy female professionals and mothers. It's up to advertisers to help demonstrate this through their ads.

US speedskating finally heading in right direction - News | FOX Sports on MSN
Cho was banned from the Sochi Games. The long track team, meanwhile, had to replace one of its biggest stars, Chad Hedrick , who retired after winning five medals at the past two Olympics. The U.S. seemed headed for a big flop in Sochi

distance, had a time of 1:45.19. That was just shy of the track record 1:44.67 set by former Olympic medalist Chad Hedrick on October 24, 2009. Second was Jonathan Kuck in 1:47.23.

This green cake has a light yellow liquor and faint fragrance, so it belongs to the robust taste tea cake, which makes it an excellent candidate for those who prefer strong mouth feel, clear taste and lingering aroma.
The leaves for this cake were picked early in the Spring. The buds and leaves are thick, which contributes to longer infusions. The aroma is complex and rich with hints of wild flowers, and the flavor has a slight bite with sour fruit notes that quickly turns sweet. Since this tea was picked in early 2011 during a period of severe drought, each tree produced fewer leaves but with a more concentrated flavor and aroma.
The ancient tea trees give this puer cake a robust flavor and long finish, and the forest setting where these trees grow adds a complex floral aroma.
A lot of care went into the basic ingredients in this cake. The first thing to consider in this tea is the picking and an effort to preserve the leaf configuration in the making process. The blend of maocha comes from three different locations...
Our Small Ma Guo Tou Green Cake has Lin Cang's rich, robust flavor and a long finish. It also has a high, complex aroma that fills your mouth and nose, which is characteristic of Jing Gu puer. These characteristics are immediately apparent on the first sip. When infused, the relaxed leaves are tender but thick, resembling live leaves still on the bush.
This tea has a light aroma and rich, smooth flavor with a long finish through multiple infusions. The liquid is light and clear, and the infused leaves are the color of bamboo leaves. You can feel the sweetness of the tea in your throat after a few sips.
This tea is infused with local Yunnan herbs called Nuo Mi Xiang Nen Ye which means "Sweet Rice Tender Leaves." The herb resembles mint with small, fingernail-sized leaves. People of the Dai Minority, who live in Southern Yunnan close to the rainforest, use this herb a lot to cool down during hot, humid days.

There is a probability that Apple Company might have reconsidered a thought to change the name of the coming iPhone 5 like the New iPad instead of naming it as iPad 3 or the iPad HD. We have seen the amazing features of the new iPad like the improved camera, retina display, A5X processor and much more. The surprised name of the highly rumoured iphone 5 could bring uproars in the market.
There are other companies like iPod Nano that just remains with the same name for many inventions or models. Every models of the iPhone indicates a meaning like the iPhone 3GS, "S" stands for the advanced speed in the new model and in iPhone 4S the "S" stands for the new Siri Technology.
After the New iPad of course the next is iPhone in the new naming list. I have a strong feeling that apple would give it a new name instead of the iPhone 5 as it is not the number 5 iPhone. We have seen that due to the high demand and popularity of iPhones, apple have launched the new iPhone 4S with Siri technology instead of giving it a name iPhone 5. Similarly we can expect a new surprising name from Apple for the most awaited upcoming iPhone model.

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Colorado Springs Police officers are looking for a woman accused of identity theft.
Officers said they have obtained an arrest warrant for Alicia Ellis, who is wanted for identity theft in a string of five cases.
In all five cases, Ellis has allegedly passed a stolen check or credit card at a retail or financial business.
Ellis is a white woman about 5'6" and weighs about 140 pounds. She has brown eyes and blonde hair cut in a page boy-type style. She also has a large starfish tattoo on the right side of her neck.
Officers are asking anyone who knows where she may be to contact them at (719) 444-7000.

In the area of Manageability which is one where Microsoft's always been extremely strong with their products, SQL Server 2012 continues the improvement trend. They continue to streamline the Management Tools, clean up the interfaces, add more functionality so you have to go fewer places. And inside the SQL Server Management Studio, they have enhanced Intellisense and Transact-SQL Debugging. Now in Intellisense for example, Completion List now suggest String Matches based on partial words and not just the first character. In the past once you get passed the first character, that was pretty much it. Now you can keep going with partial words. There is a new Insert Snippet Menu. If you are familiar with Snippet, if you've done any development in other aspects of Microsoft environments, like C#, VB.NET out in Visual Studio, you've seen these Insert Snippets. These things are really slick and you're going to like what you see. This thing will actually write code for you, you just have to know how to kick it off and I'll show you that a little bit later on. Some Resource Governor Enhancements have been implemented, it now supports up to 64 Pools instead of 20. If you used these in prior versions, you see the big deal here, if not don't worry about it, we'll talk about it later. Contain Databases, now this is going to be a big one and this is one you're going to hear about quite a bit. This is one you really need to be comfortable with going into the exam because I guarantee you, it's going to be mentioned a lot of different ways. Notice what's happened here, users are now or can be authenticated directly into a user database. Now when I say Contained Databases and users now log directly into a database, does not mean it has to be that way. You can continue to operate your SQL Server in the old format which meant you had a SQL Server Logon and that's how you connected to the SQL Server. Then you had a User Database, you know a list of database users that said who could then, once they got on the server, could go into certain databases. That was really cool but it created some problems. And so now we don't have any dependencies on the Database Engine or the Server Logins. We can turn on the Contain Database functionality and now the user information is basically kept out there in the User Database. We will talk about this more later on in the course. But notice what this does. If my User Database out there keeps up with all my users, then this gives me the ability to very easily move this database to another server. And out there in the real world a lot of times, certain databases take off, get popular, get busy, start to become a resource hog and it would be really great to move those over to another server. Well you've got to make sure on the server that you are moving to, that you have the same SQL Server Logins that you had. You know over on the former home of the database otherwise some people are not going to be able to log in, it just causes all kind of problems. Not a problem anymore with Contain Databases. You also have tight integration with SQL Azure, depending on what part of the world, what part of the United States you, you are from, this could either be SQL Azure, SQL Azure, SQL all kinds of things. Okay. But the bottom line with this is, this is a technology that Microsoft introduced a few years ago that basically turns SQL Server data in the databases into kind of a Cloud based solution. And so there is tight integration in SQL Server 2012, you can deploy a database to the SQL Azure using a Wizard. And we'll talk more about that a little bit later on. But this is new abilities to give you bi-directional data synchronization between databases across the Data Center and the Cloud. Probably the best real world application I've seen of this are functionalities like iTunes and the iPods and iPads and so forth. There's all kinds of bi-directional data synchronization going on between those based on the database. That's the kind of functionalities we are talking about for SQL Azure. Now Startup Options, they've, they haven't added this, it's always been here, but they've relocated it and they've changed how you get to it. And a database administrator or a DBA can now very easily specify Startup Parameters for a SQL instance or a SQL Server, bottom line. And this is huge, you now just have to right-click a Server Instance Name in the Configuration Manager and select Properties and you can change the Startup Options. This was a lot more involved in earlier versions, this as it's turned out was one of the number one requested updates, improvements, enhancements in SQL Server 2012. A lot, a lot of administrators had problems with this, they are going to be very happy with what they see here with this. So that's just kind of a quick review of some of the Manageability Enhancements that we have here. There's a lot out there but really focus on these and again get your hands on these things, get comfortable with them because they are going to show up on the exam.

Indian businessman's gets 8th Ferrari custom designed for car collection
New York, August 29 (ANI): Indian businessman Cheerag Arya, who has an apparently limitless bank account, is adding an eighth version of Ferrari to his collection and this one is especially designed for him, it has been revealed.
According to Ferrari Magazine, Arya, who currently resides in Dubai, will also be the eighth person to customize a Ferrari, following in the footsteps of British music legend Eric Clapton.
The 32-year-old's creation, dubbed the "Arya SP" is based on the company's 599 GTO model.
Arya chose the vehicle, which boasts a custom exhaust and suspension, from a series of 12 designs provided to him by Ferrari's Special Projects team.
"I then picked the bits from each that I liked until we got an idea of the car I had in mind," the New York Daily News quoted him as saying.
"A bit like a wish list," he said.
Even though it is unclear how much the car will cost, but Arya will be behind the wheel by 2013. (ANI)

Untargeted LCMS profiling of semi-polar metabolites followed by metabolite quantitative trait locus (mQTL) analysis was performed in ripe pepper fruits of 113 F2 plants derived from a cross between Capsicum annuum AC1979 (no. 19) and Capsicum chinense No. 4661 Selection (no. 18). The parental access
Identification of metabolites is a major challenge in biological studies and relies in principle on mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods. The increased sensitivity and stability of both NMR and MS systems have made dereplication of complex biological samples feasible.
Liquid chromatography coupled with multistage accurate mass spectrometry (LC–MSn) can generate comprehensive spectral information of metabolites in crude extracts. To support structural characterization of the many metabolites present in such complex samples, we present a novel method (http://www.em
An overview of the metabolic diversity in ripe fruits of a collection of 32 diverse pepper (Capsicum sp.) accessions was obtained by measuring the composition of both semi-polar and volatile metabolites in fruit pericarp, using untargeted LC–MS and headspace GC–MS platforms, respectively. Accessions
Nitrogen availability and light intensity affect β-carotene overproduction in the green alga Dunaliella salina. Following a previous study on high-light stress, we here report on the effect of nitrogen depletion on the growth characteristics and β-carotene as well as fatty acid metabolism of D. sali
Metabolite fingerprinting is widely used to unravel the chemical characteristics of biological samples. Multivariate data analysis and other statistical tools are subsequently used to analyze and visualize the plasticity of the metabolome and/or the relationship between those samples. However, there
The identification of large series of metabolites detectable by mass spectrometry (MS) in crude extracts is a challenging task. In order to test and apply the so-called multistage mass spectrometry (MS n ) spectral tree approach as tool in metabolite identification in complex sample extracts, we fir
In dietary polyphenol exposure studies, annotation and identification of urinary metabolites present at low (micromolar) concentrations are major obstacles. In order to determine the biological activity of specific components, it is necessary to have the correct structures and the quantification of
Advanced analytical approaches consisting of both LC-LTQ-Orbitrap Fourier transformed (FT)-MS and LC-time-of-flight-(TOF)-MS coupled to solid-phase extraction (SPE) NMR were used to obtain more insight into the complex phenolic composition of tea. On the basis of the combined structural information
A comprehensive study on morphology and biochemical compounds of 32 Capsicum spp. accessions has been performed. Accessions represented four pepper species, Capsicum annuum, Capsicum frutescens, Capsicum chinense and Capsicum baccatum which were selected by their variation in morphological character
