Where is Waldoniel? 2013 edition
If you do not know where this famous restaurant is, there is a hint after the jump.
There is at least three items in this picture that will tell you which part of the mystery country I am. Note: it is not the Tabasco sauce, I am not in Mexico :)
Bonus points to those who identify the three specific items. But the winner is the one that will name with the appropriate details the specialty of this restaurant (not in the picture, sorry)
22 comments:
Daniel, I don't know the place or the name of the eggs.
I'm guessing those are biscuits with sweet or honey ham, a tomato slice, poached egg, hollandaise, dash of paprika and parsley. On the side: a dark beer -cannot be tea, because of the foam- and tartar sauce?
Almost a benedict, plus the tomato. If not.. do tell! it looks very good.I seem to be blind when it comes to playing Waldo ..hehe..I will tell my son about the bar bque as he also lives very close by to that restaurant and loves bar b que.
But do I see a sweet tea in the picture?
A pot of grits?
Usually North Carolinians use the salty country Ham , rather than the sweet( or city ham) although the pale color in the photo looks like city Ham.- syd10:52 AM
if the restaurant is in the (not-deep) southern US, one of those dishes must have been grits. And since there's a pig feature, probably there's ham hiding under the tomato slices in the restaurant's version of eggs benedict over biscuits.
p.s. tabasco sauce is made on Avery Island, off the coast of LA.

Written by Eli Spector
The residential college system is a brilliant aspect of Rice University because it takes a large incoming class of intelligent/often socially awkward people and breaks it down into subgroups (residential colleges) giving freshmen an instant social network. During orientation week (O-Week), a group of randomly selected and diverse individuals is given something in common. They go through the same indoctrination process, have the same pranks played on them by upperclassmen, go on the same scavenger hunt, sit through the same boring meetings, and so on. They meet the College Masters (a faculty family that lives in a house adjoining or near their building), and discover that they have a set of parents and (usually) young siblings provided for them.
The dating situation at Rice varies for everyone. You may not find as many traditionally attractive hotties at Rice as you would at another school. Rice tends not to attract many stereotypical frat boys or sorority girls, although there are a few. Indeed, you can find whatever "type" you might be looking for (or not looking for) at Rice: athletic, romantic, poetic, intelligent, flirtatious, theatrical, geeky, genuine, graceful, player, elegant, or the boy/girl-next-door. In fact, "Seventeen" magazine some years back declared Rice the number-one choice school "for girls who want it all." That diversity makes Rice a special campus full of truly amazing and talented people.

I had my first panic attack when I was seven. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder when I was twelve. I've dealt on and off with depression since I was fourteen. When I was fifteen, I thought I was better. I had my first manic episode at sixteen. This February, when I was seventeen, I was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder. In March, like the cherry on a sad, soggy cake, I was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder as well.
These were my secrets, until recently, when I realized I was tired of living like there was something wrong with me. I take my medications, I see an excellent psychiatrist once a month or so, and I go into therapy when I need to. Sometimes when I have an episode, it's difficult for me to do things like concentrate or think straight or write blog posts or talk (or tweet) coherently, but these are few and far between. I am not a freak. I have hopes and dreams and a life like everyone else, and I have to grow up like everyone else, too.
According to the National Center for Children in Poverty, 20% of teens have a diagnosable mental illness (most commonly depression and anxiety). Additionally, many mental disorders--including bipolar, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, self-harm, and for men, schizophrenia--often present during your teen years or early 20s. And even teens who aren't directly afflicted by mental illness often have a friend or family member who is, since about one in four American adults suffer from a diagnosable mental illness.
From what I can tell, mental illness in YA falls into three categories: "magical madness," in which the mental illness is used as a jumping-off point for a paranormal or mystical plotline, the "issue book," in which mental illness either in the protagonist or someone the protagonist cares about forms the crux of the story arc, and usually involves harrowing brushes with self-harm or suicide, and "new normal," in which mental illness forms some sort of subplot not critical to the story, or is simply a character trait.
To start, I'd like to look at the first category: Magical Madness. The two examples I can think of in this category are Bleeding Violet by Dia Reeves, in which the protagonist Hanna is on antipsychotics to treat her schizophrenia, and The Unquiet by Jeannine Garsee, in which the protagonist Rinn is bipolar. (I've read and loved Bleeding Violet, while The Unquiet is loaded up on my Nook at the top of my to-read list.) Magical Madness is characterized by its treatment of mental illness as somehow mystical, paranormal, fantastical, or all of the above. It often ends with the mentally ill character "embracing the crazy," often going off their medications or stopping treatment in order to fully experience their magical powers. This portrayal of mental illness is the most problematic of the three, due to its contribution to the perception of mental illness as "other" and sometimes dangerous; however, when taken with a grain of salt, they can be fantastic books and a great addition to mental illness literature.
The second category, the Issue Book, is the most common in YA, and dominate my list of mental illness titles: Impulse by Ellen Hopkins, Scars by Cheryl Rainfield, Crazy by Han Nolan, Dirty Little Secrets by C.J. Omololu, A Blue So Dark by Holly Schindler, Cut by Patricia McCormick, Compulsion by Heidi Ayarbe, and Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson all fall into this category. These books often serve as a first introduction to a mental illness for teens (and adults reading YA), and often involve info-dump passages about the illness, as well as long visits with counselors and "shrinks." I've read and loved a lot of this kind of book, and I think they'll always belong in the picture. But just like books with characters of color or LGBT characters, it would be nice to finally see some books where the characters are "out and proud" with their illness, and can live normal, topsy-turvy teenage lives.
The third category--New Normal--is, in my experience, both the hardest category to find and the category we need the most of. The two examples of this I could think of were Unraveling Isobel by Eileen Cook, and Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan. Will Grayson, Will Grayson has a particularly sensitive and wonderful portrayal of a character with depression, as this review from This Ain't Livin' explains. Unraveling Isobel actually straddles two categories because of its magical elements, but its honest treatment of what it's like to have a family member with schizophrenia without making it the central issue of the story intrigued me.
In the end, I think YA is doing a great job of portraying mental illness in all its forms--but we could be doing even better. The discussion about realistic and sensitive portrayals is one we need to be having about mental illness (as well as on disabilities in general), and I'd love to hear what you think. Please leave your thoughts in the comments, as well as any titles I may have missed!
(For those looking for my full work-in-progress list of YAs with mental illness that I've been compiling with Twitter's help, you can find it on Goodreads here.)

Muscle Building Workout
Bump Up Your Biceps
- Bigger Arms: 6 …
- 1. Pushup-Position …
- 2. Kneeling Single-…
- 3. Split-Jack Curl
- 4. Resistance Band …
- 5. Squat …
- 6. Eccentric Curl
Squat Concentration Curl
How to do it: Hold a pair of light dumbbells (10 to 15 pounds) and stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and your toes pointed out slightly. Push your hips back and squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Keeping your weight on your heels, your elbows pressed against your inner thighs, and your palms facing each other, curl and lower the weights for 30 to 60 seconds. Do it one arm at a time to add an element of instability and increase the challenge to your core.
How it works: Sitting at a desk most of the day closes your hips, which can strain muscles in your thighs and lower back. This move forces your thighs out and opens up your hips. Pressing your upper arms against your thighs keeps the movement at your elbows, preventing other muscles from assisting.

No Addicks bid yet for N'Guessan
1:01pm Thursday 12th July 2012 in Sport By Paul Green
CHARLTON have not made a bid for Millwall attacker Dany N'Guessan despite newspaper claims the Addicks had been quoted a £150,000 fee for the Frenchman.
N'Guessan struck four times in seven games during a highly productive loan spell at The Valley in the latter stages of last season.
But he is now back at The Den and remains a big part of Millwall manager Kenny Jackett's plans for the forthcoming season – for now at least.
Jackett said: "I haven't had any approach or offers from Charlton.
"I can only deal with what happens.
"I'm focussed on the training and the pre-season programme, which is very important, and after that we have three games in Ireland and three more games when we come back here to build into our season.
"At the start of the season there is potentially six games in three weeks, an international break and then a potential of another seven games, so you do need a squad.
"You need everybody together and you need everybody to be very fit and clear about what your aims and objectives are when you are playing those games.
"My focus is on getting those players fit for a crucial period and if the phone rings about a player along the way then we will assess it then."
Jackett also had some positive news on another former Addick Therry Racon, whose first season with Millwall was ruined by an ankle injury sustained last August in the League Cup win at Plymouth.
The boss said: "Therry Racon has started pre-season very well.
"It will be interesting now how he goes into the games.
"We will take him to Ireland next week where we have three games in six days and we are looking forward to seeing him.
"He has come back very positive, he is happy and comfortable with the ankle and that wasn't the state he was in at the end of last season.
"Therry is in a good place now in terms of his physical fitness because the ankle is good and I hope that continues."
Millwall's three-game Irish tour begins at Shelbourne on Monday and the pre-season trip to the Emerald Isle is now becoming something of a regular feature in the Lions' calendar with the benefits clear as far as Jackett is concerned.
"It is the whole package," he explained. "It gets us away but it isn't too far and isn't too expensive in that respect.
"The training facilities are very good there and in terms of the games they are in the middle of their season.
"Pre-season games for Millwall are traditionally pretty tough so we've found this one and a particular training base which we like.
"I will be taking 23 fully fit players and they will all play in those games."

Many military families are impacted by autism. Based on current prevalence rates, an estimated 23,000 military dependents, including children of active duty, reserve and guard families, have autism. These families are substantially affected by the financial and emotional costs of raising a child with autism.
Military life is particularly difficult for children with autism and their families. Given the frequent duty station changes and social turmoil of military service, military children with an autism spectrum disorder often face additional challenges with which their civilian counterparts do not have to contend.
A specific feature of autism is extreme difficulty with life, routine, or environmental changes of any kind. These children need a set routine, stability, and continuity of services and relationships. Military life by its nature provides few of these needs. This situation is likely to weaken the morale of the parent serving the military as well as the caretaker at home.

""You really miss him don't you?" The Ranger nodded. "More than I realized," he said. Alyss urged her horse close beside his and learned over to kiss him on the cheek.

When fixing is not enough
Posted on December 28th, 2007 by Ronaldo
Filed under: Commentary, Google, Web | 2 Comments »
Howdy ho from Brazil, folks.
Remember that vulnerability in Gmail filter feature reported by Petko D. Petkov in September? Google fixed this vulnerability a few days after it was disclosed, but something was missing: end users should be noticed about that.
Early this week I was made aware of someone who was hit hard by this vuln months after it was fixed. David Airey's domain was hijacked and this vulnerability helped on that.
But Google fixed that, what's the problem? They should have noticed all users about that. New filters could not be injected anymore after the fix, but filters injected before the fix were still there. A simple "please check you filters" Web two-dot-oh notice would be enough, only if new filters were added in the days between the vuln was disclosed and the fix. End users don't read the same blogs, lists and security resources that we read. Users are not supposed to know the nuts and bolts of the vulnerability, but they should know what manual actions should be taken.
I don't know about you, but I thought about some solutions for that:
- Anything under settings should require password, in every change. I guess Yahoo! Mail works like that;
- Filters that forward messages should be handled in a different way, maybe under "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab.
Another simple mitigation action that people should use for any online service is something like a privilege separation (I don't have a better name for that). Use different accounts for different purposes, have a master account and child accounts that forward every message to the master account.
If you are a moderator in a Yahoo! Group don't use your main personal profile for group management, for example. Reducing the lifetime of the session to 15 minutes and log in only on trustworthy networks are other paranoid measures that could be considered. If there's a targeted attack against your account probably your less critical account will be affected.
Do you have any insight about this Gmail vuln? Comment.

Hand Printed Vintage Ribbon
Love is in the air... and in the details!
Using a roll of vintage cotton seam binding
mini stamps, and a pencil eraser...
I created beautiful vintage ribbon for Valentine packages,
or Valentine decor...
I taped together the letters L O V E to hold them together
and get a straight line...
I chose letters that were not all the same font for interest.
and cut a heart into a pencil eraser using an Exacto knife...
My ink of choice is StazOn ink pad,
it is permanent and doesn't smear.
I printed the word "love" down the length of my seam binding then went back and printed a heart between every word.
The results are simply adorable!
I packaged them in 3 yard packs and added them to my
Happy Valentine's Day!

Opens April 27, 2012. Run time: 1 hr. 35 min.
for strong violence throughout, and for language |
A second-rate cage fighter on the mixed martial arts circuit, Luke Wright lives a numbing life of routine beatings and chump change...until the day he blows a rigged fight. Wanting to make an example of him, the Russian Mafia murders his family and banishes him from his life forever.
But when he witnesses a frightened twelve-year-old Chinese girl, Mei, being pursued by the same gangsters who killed his wife, Luke impulsively jumps to action...and straight into the heart of a deadly high-stakes war. Realizing he's the only person Mei can trust, Luke tears a swath through the city's brutal underworld to save an innocent girl's life.
..and perhaps even redeem his own.

Critic review:
Jason Statham headlining a gritty, action thriller is as routine as the sun coming up. But the man has the role down to a science — whether he's a down-on-his-luck cop, former CIA agent, ruthless assassin or any of the other stock characters that open up the Pandora's Box of butt-kicking, Statham can deliver. Safe embraces these expectations, throwing together an amalgamated central character (Luke Wright, a currently homeless former NYPD cop who was secretly black ops, maybe assassin hired by the blah blah blah) who goes to battle with every bad guy New York City can offer. Russian mafia, Chinese mafia, corrupt cops — name the group, Statham breaks their tracheae. If that sounds delightful and fresh, Safe is a must-see.
ALTWright's metropolitan misadventure begins after he crosses path with a young Chinese girl, Mei (newcomer Catherine Chan), whose endless memory holds the combination to a locked up, unknown prize. Every immoral guy in town wants the information — Han Jiao (James Hong) and his gang, who kidnapped the girl from her home country, want their lost property back; Vassily Docheski (Joseph Sikora) wants to make his mob operation richer; Mayor Tremello (Chris Sarandon) and Captain Wolf (Robert John Burke) want to keep the whole thing under wraps, so they continue extorting the crime families. Then there's Wright, just a nice guy looking to do a nice thing for a girl in trouble. Commence gun fire and painful deaths. Writer/Director Boaz Yakin does his best to innovate within the Statham formula, utilizing some tricky camera work and snappy comedy dialogue.
Simple things keep us on our toes; when Wright first rescues Mei from the clutches of pursuing goons, the two jump into a car. We're in the back seat witnessing Statham slamming people back and forth, the rear view mirror catching all of the action behind us. In a movie where violence is prioritized over plot, the little things really count. Yakin knows it. Tonally, Safe never clicks, and it's a major barrier for enjoyment.
On one hand, it's all about realism — the emotional trauma undergone by a child, the real world implications of criminal activity and the bigger picture issues at hand (Sarandon's mayor character just had to go and make it a 9/11 thing, didn't he). On the other, countless people are gunned down in array of cartoonish violence. Safe isn't Crank; this fact makes rooting for Statham, as he punches and shoots his way through crowds of mafiosos, a little uncomfortable. The movie's too heavy for its own good, even for a strongman like Statham.-Matt Patches.
Trailer not available.

The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation identifies small area concentrations of multiple deprivation across all of Scotland in a consistent way. It allows effective targeting of policies and funding where the aim is to wholly or partly tackle or take account of area concentrations of multiple deprivation.
The SIMD ranks small areas (called datazones) from most deprived (ranked 1) to least deprived (ranked 6,505). People using the SIMD will often focus on the datazones below a certain rank, for example, the 5%, 10%, 15% or 20% most deprived datazones in Scotland.
The SIMD team can offer training events to help users understand SIMD 2012 and how to use SIMD to its full potential.

BELLINGHAM - Senior swimming standouts Andy Small, Patrick Gregory and Curran Wilbour have enjoyed nothing but team titles at Sehome - from dual meets to Class 2A state - but that's far from the only reason they're eager for a four-season sweep.
"It's all about the Sehome legacy, the Sehome lineage," said Gregory, who helped keep the Mariners perfect in Northwest Conference dual meets during his four seasons with a 122-63 victory over Squalicum on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at Arne Hanna Aquatic Center.
"That's right. When we were freshmen and sophomores, we had great older swimmers we looked up to," said Small, "and we want our freshmen and sophomores to remember that about us."
Indeed, the three seniors - who have contributed points to three state and three district title teams - will get a chance to cap unbeaten NWC dual-meet careers against Anacortes on Thursday, Jan. 24, at Arne Hanna. Both teams are 5-0 in the conference heading into the seniors' final dual meet.
"It's pretty important to us," said Wilbour, who won the 200- and 500-yard freestyles against the young Storm, logging a state-qualifying 5 minutes, 9.24 seconds in the 500, though it wasn't his best time. "That would be pretty sweet. It was make me feel like I accomplished something."
The three seniors agreed that one of the most rewarding aspects of Sehome swimming has been seeing the young guys make great progress.
"Guys like (sophomores) Isaiah Grambo, Josh Larson, Trevor Nims and Patrick Lisosky, and (freshmen) Colin Hakeman and Calvin Richan," said Gregory. "They are definitely a fun group. They've improved even more than I expected since the start of the season. And we're really going to need them to win state again."
Grambo, in fact, has improved enough to sometimes beat Gregory in the 50 free - and did so Tuesday in the meet's best race. Grambo, who clocked 23.3 seconds, out-touched Gregory, who swam 23.61. Grambo also won the 100 butterfly (58.41), his second best time.
Gregory, though, came back with a solid state-qualifying time in the 100 breaststroke (1:04.71) - the event he hopes to win at state. It wasn't his best, but like all the Mariners, he was "swimming through" an extremely rigorous practice schedule, since they haven't come close to tapering.
Small also logged a state time, registering 2:08.76 in the 200 individual medley, and he claimed the 100 backstroke in 1:00.74. Richan swam a strong second for a freshman with a personal best 1:07.23.
"That's Andy's second-best IM of the season and it puts him in the top five on the state 2A list," said Sehome coach Don Helling. "Calvin made almost a two-second improvement. He's looking good for the future."
The future, however, may be now for Larson, whose 54.06 in the 100 free was his second best. He was pressed by runner-up Neall Koetje (55.88), a Squalicum junior.
"Josh really came out of the woodwork at the Kentridge Invitational and he's been going great ever since," Helling said.
The longtime coach was also impressed with how Sehome senior Rocky Rantz competed with Squalicum senior Rylan Korby in the diving. Korby, who hopes to take a state title, won with 170.10 points, but Rantz pressed him with 162.85.
"Rocky has improved by leaps and bounds," Helling said, no pun intended. "He has come together with his body control and higher degrees of difficulty."
Helling said Anacortes will be anything but a cinch to beat.
"They've got the talent to beat us, so we'll have to be at our best," he said.
Squalicum coach Randy Elsner, who is working primarily with younger swimmers, said his highlights were a drop of more than two seconds by freshman Jonathan Hegeberg with his runner-up 200 free (2:03.98) along with a personal best by fourth-place Lucas Roberts in the 100 free (56.87).
Sehome swept the relays with what Helling called creditable efforts. Small, Grambo, Gregory and senior Isaac Day took the 200 medley relay (1:46.47), and Gregory, Wilbour, sophomore Patrick Lisosky and senior Jack Thompson won the 200 free relay (1:42.76). The Mariners capped the meet by claiming the 400 free relay in 3:34.52 behind Wilbour, Grambo, Larson and Small.
As for Sehome perhaps seeing the end of all its streaks next season, Small said with a grin that opponents shouldn't count on that.
"It's never over," the affable Small said, finding a joke irresistible, "until the fat boy swims the 500 free."
200 medley relay: Sehome (Andy Small, Patrick Gregory, Isaiah Grambo, Isaac Day) 1:46.47; 200 freestyle: Curran Wilbour (Se) 2:02.73; 200 individual medley: Andy Small (Se) 2:08.76; 50 free: Isaiah Grambo (Se) 23.30; Diving: Rylan Korby (Sq) 170.10 points; 100 butterfly: Isaiah Grambo (Se) 58.41; 100 freestyle: Josh Larson (Se) 54.06; 500 freestyle: Curran Wilbour (Se) 5:09.24; 200 freestyle relay: Sehome (Jack Thompson, Patrick Gregory, Patrick Lisosky, Curran Wilbour) 1:42.76; 100 backstroke: Andy Small (Se) 1:00.74; 100 breastroke: Patrick Gregory (Se) 1:04.71; 400 freestyle relay: Sehome (Curran Wilbour, Isaiah Grambo, Josh Larson, Andy Small) 3:34.52.

It is undisputed that Leslie had a significant bump on her forehead, so she sustained at the least a mild head injury. It is undisputed that she vomited. It is a medical fact that concussions can occur after a mild head trauma, and that they can cause loss of consciousness and vomiting. It is a medical fact that mild brain injury often won't be visible on x-rays.
All of this would lead a reasonable person to conclude that Leslie could have sustained a concussion as a result of her fall and lost consciousness long enough to have drowned.
From the Brain Injury Association of America:
The term "mild brain injury" can be misleading. The term "mild" is used in reference to the severity of the initial physical trauma that caused the injury. It does not indicate the severity of the consequences of the injury. . . .
The brain is not a hard, fixed substance. It is soft and jello-like in consistency, composed of millions of fine nerve fibers, and "floats" in cerebral-spinal fluid within the hard, bony skull. When the head is struck suddenly, strikes a stationary object, or is shaken violently, the mechanical force of this motion is transmitted to the brain.
A case of mild traumatic brain injury is an occurrence of injury to the head resulting from blunt trauma or acceleration or deceleration forces with one or more of the following conditions attributable to the head injury during the surveillance period:
Any period of observed or self-reported transient confusion, disorientation, or impaired consciousness . . . .
Due to the diffuse and subtle nature of mild brain injury, it is common for typical neuroimaging (CT scan or MRI's) to show no evidence of injury. The damage to the brain is a real injury. The limitation of these brain imaging technologies is they often cannot detect mild brain injury. . . .

BILOG-MG-3 has all the functions of BILOG, plus Differential Item Functioning (DIF), Item Parameter Drift, equivalent and non-equivalent groups equating, vertical equating, two-stage testing, estimation of group means, standard deviations, and latent distributions.
Previously only available as DOS software, BILOG-MG has been updated to the current Windows operating systems: 98, NT, 2000, ME, and XP. Extensive online Help has been added, covering almost completely the newly edited book that combines all four programs in one volume.
Annotated program input and output can be found throughout the online Help system and the new manual.
The plots may be saved in the Windows Metafile format (WMF) and are then easily included in applications such as MS Word. Although the programs are command driven (an analysis is specified by creating a command file with the included editor), BILOG-MG features a dialog-box user interface to assist first-time users or occasional users with writing such a command file.
BILOG-MG handles multiple groups, multiple subtests, and multiple test forms in one analysis, and it includes a simplified forms specification. Both normal and empirical latent distributions can be specified by the user. Bayes estimation of scale scores can be done with a group-specific or global prior. It computes information curves and statistics by form as well as by test. The user can perform similar computations for any arbitrarily selected subset of items. The numerous examples include a folder with all the original BILOG examples and their equivalent command files for BILOG-MG.
Windows 95, 98, NT, ME, 2000, XP

Just Give The Scores
Sportscaster Bob Costasused the halftime of last nite's NBC Sunday night football game to lecture the country on ridding us of the 2nd Amendment. Costas quoted extensively from an article by FOX Sports columnist Jason Whitlock calling for stricter gun control in the wake of Saturday's murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chief's linebacker Jovan Belcher. Belcher fatally shot his girlfriend and then committed suicide in front of his coach and general manager. The 90 second segment by the ever sanctimonious Costas ended with him quoting Whitlock saying "If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today."
Wonder how the family of Nicole Brown Simpson would feel about that statement?
For the record, the gun Belcher possessed was purchased legally and licensed.
Twitter was ablaze with flabbergasted tweets from viewers most of whom suggested the halftime show shouldn't be Costas' private soap box.

Last week it was reported the First Family will take a 3 week Hawaiian vacation costing taxpayers 4-million dollars just as the dreaded fiscal cliff arrives. Now we find out the Obamas have 54 trees adorning the White House. That's 50% more trees than a year ago.
Last year some 90,000 visitors viewed the White House decorations. This year the main residents of the White House won't be there for most of the holiday season and the two main holidays.

SOURCE Semiconductor Industry Association
Sales in Americas increase by 23.3 percent compared to last August
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA), representing U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing and design, today announced that worldwide sales of semiconductors reached $25.87 billion for the month of August 2013, an increase of 6.4 percent compared to August 2012, marking the industry's largest year-over-year growth since March 2011. Sales in the Americas increased by 23.3 percent compared to August 2012, while global sales in August were 1.3 percent higher than the previous month's total of $25.53 billion. All monthly sales numbers are compiled by the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics (WSTS) organization and represent a three-month moving average.
"Global semiconductor sales have now increased for six consecutive months, and the industry is well ahead of last year's pace, thanks largely to sustained growth in the Americas," said Brian Toohey, president and CEO, Semiconductor Industry Association. "Strong demand for memory products has driven sales in recent months, but sales were also up in August among non-memory products, demonstrating the breadth of the semiconductor market's strength."
Regionally, August sales topped sales from the same month last year in the Americas (23.3 percent), Asia Pacific (7.6 percent), and Europe (5 percent), but decreased in Japan (-16.4 percent), in large part because of the devaluation of the Japanese yen. Sales in August were up across all regions compared to the previous month.
"Semiconductor sales have demonstrated increasing momentum in recent months, thanks in part to stabilizing macroeconomic conditions, but this week's government shutdown and a looming debate over the nation's debt limit threaten to destabilize the economy and disrupt growth," said Toohey. "Congress and the Administration should work together to avoid these self-inflicted wounds and get America's fiscal house in order."

Subaru - The only manufacturer with IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK for all models
16th December 2011
Share This Article
Subaru Canada, Inc. recently announced that the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has recognized Subaru as the only automotive manufacturer earning awards for every model it builds. Subaru picked up five awards in total, enabling it to become the only automaker with a 2012 TOP SAFETY PICK for all models.
"Right from its underpinnings, safety is top of mind for Subaru's engineering and design team," said Shiro Ohta, president and CEO of Subaru Canada, Inc. "We are very pleased that the IIHS has recognized us again as the only manufacturer with a 2012 TOP SAFETY PICK winner for all models. This strongly reinforces our commitment to producing vehicles that inspire confidence in our consumers."
TOP SAFETY PICK recognizes vehicles that, in IIHS testing, do the best job of protecting people in front, side, rear, and now rollover crashes based on 'good' ratings in each category. The IIHS ranks in terms of Good, Acceptable, Marginal and Poor, with 'good' as the top rank possible in Institute tests. Winners also must have electronic stability control.
"For three years running, Subaru is the only automotive manufacturer with the distinction of earning IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK awards for every model it builds," said Institute president Adrian Lund. "It's tough to win, and we commend Subaru for making safety a top priority."
About IIHS
The Institute's frontal crashworthiness evaluations are based on results of 40 mph frontal offset crash tests. Side evaluations are based on performance in a crash test in which the side of a vehicle is struck by a barrier moving at 31 mph. The barrier represents the front end of a pickup or SUV. Rear crash protection is rated according to a two-step procedure. Starting points for the ratings are measurements of head restraint geometry - the height of a restraint and its horizontal distance behind the back of the head of an average-size man. In the roof strength test, a metal plate is pushed against one side of a roof at a displacement rate of 0.2 inch per second. To earn a good rating for rollover protection, the roof must withstand a force of four times the vehicle's weight before reaching five inches of crush. This is called a strength-to-weight ratio.

Muffin Monday: Let's Make a Date
I know so many young adult men who are single and I keep wondering why. Before you start whistling the kettle that my pot is calling black, I'm not going to yenta any of these friends unless they ask for it. As president of the "single and happy about it" club I fully respect those loud and proud in their relationship status…but I know not all of them are happy about it. Yet despite being able to say they want something more, they don't seem to know how to go about doing it. Guys don't think it's just you either. It's 2013 and plenty of ladies can be the ones to initiate a date—and we know it. So ladies get to share in the horror of the asking too and it's no less terrifying to be a girl in that situation I promise you.
The process of initiating a first date can be intimidating. Does the mere thought of asking a girl out give you sweaty palms and heart palpitations? Are you struggling with just the right, witty first line to impress her? Are you reading every body signal and analyzing if her thanks for picking up the pencil she dropped is a sign that she's ready to have babies with you? Well STOP IT. STOP IT RIGHT NOW.
It's not that complicated. Trust me. You aren't going to find some magical pick up line that makes her love you forever and ever and ever…. Sure there are those amazing stories from romantic comedies that make the story of "how I met your mother" seem legend…. But they aren't real and they aren't realistic either. I promise you that no girl (I can't speak on behalf of guys but I imagine this hold true with them) will think any less of this opening line:
"Hi, I'm ____. I've seen you around work/the building/wherever and wanted to finally introduce myself."
Now what? Now you let her introduce herself. If she doesn't walk away, you move on to the second part of the process.
"It's nice to meet you her name. I was wondering if you were available at all for coffee or maybe even dinner sometime?"
That's it. That's all it will take if the object of your affection, hereto known as the OoA, is at all interested in going out with you. You don't need to offer any sort of compliment—you can but it's not needed and things like "you have the most beautiful eyes" can sound cheesy depending on the girl or the delivery. I promise you, you don't need it. Save the compliments for the date if it's received. That's when you want to use them. Trust me you aren't going to change her mind for a date by telling her she looks pretty; the mere fact that you are asking her out pretty much set the expectation that you find her attractive. Now there are some girls who will love a huge romantic gesture, this is true, but to others it can scare them off. If you keep it simple, stupid, you don't run into any risk of seeming too…well too anything. Too interested, too apathetic, too boring. Simple is good. Save the complexity for the date.
Which brings me to the most crucial part of the asking out: setting the date. Don't leave it up in the air. Be prepared with a date, a place and a time. Offer these up but be flexible for her schedule or dietary preferences. "I know a great place for coffee. How about Tuesday at 6?" and then let her respond and beyond all be flexible if she suggests some-when or somewhere else. Unless it's a local skinhead bar. Then run away.
But Olivia what about if they say no? How do I handle that kind of rejection? *Sigh* Okay I'm going to try to explain this without going past a second page.
"We make time for the things that are important to us."
There's so much truth in such a simple little statement like that. Right now my life priorities are still: Family, Work, Health, Passions and Friends…followed by everything else. Notice what's not on there? Funny business aka romantic interludes. The fact that I'm not willing to make time is a good indicator of how serious I am about it—and that's not at all. So guys and gals, if the object of your affections can't be tied down to a time and a place…well then this person just isn't that invested and you shouldn't waste too much time on it either. But don't take it personally and don't think it means there's something wrong with you. Just let it be. Make a second attempt to connect if she doesn't respond to your initial text or phone call about the date–she may have accepted tenuously but just has been too busy to follow up. That being said if she just can't commit to it on a third try just let it go because as the book title says "He/She's just not that into you" and it probably has absolutely nothing to do with you. The worst thing is to send a barrage of messages, to get too personal, to get rambly…. Do NOT send a message about your past relationships or how eager you are. Just be simple, flexible and reserved. When you throw too much emotion at someone whose middle name you don't even know…they're gonna bolt. You might ask out 100 people and get 1 positive response back and that's okay because I'm telling you that of those 99 rejections, 99% of them have nothing to do with you. One might. Maybe she saw you picking your nose or getting into a parking lot fight, I don't know, I'm just playing the odds here.
I mean I'm not dismissing offers for any reason to do with the date-asker-outer. It has nothing to do with appearances, personality or any aspect of their physical presence. I just can't even fathom making the time to emotionally invest in something that intense and I have so many things to juggle…I can't have the responsibility of handling someone else's emotions on that level. Your OoA (Object of Affection) might have too much on their plate for romance. Or you might a gross slob. Look in the mirror and get real and we'll talk about what to do if you ARE in fact kind of a slob on another day.
