It almost feels weird to talk about how beautiful Adele looks on the cover of December's Cosmopolitan because honestly, it doesn't even matter! When you have a voice like Adele's, you could literally have an excess amount of facial hair and wear an old trash bag every day and still be considered the best of the best. But it doesn't hurt that Adele is like, ULTRA MEGA GORG.
In her Cosmo cover shot, Adele rocks a sexy leopard print V-neck dress with complementary red jewels. Her hair has volume for days while her makeup is old Hollywood glam. And why the eff wouldn't it be? Have you seen those cheekbones? Uh-duh.
In the spread, Adele discusses the painful breakup that inspired her smash hit and 2011 VMA Video Of The Year nominee "Rolling In The Deep" and reveals her two all-time favorite vocalists: "My favorite singers are Etta James and Aretha Franklin. If you were to look up the word 'singer' in the dictionary, you'd see their names. Not mine." OK, we don't usually like to make a habit out of arguing with superstars or anything, but we're gonna have to call you out out on this one, Adele! Your name is definitely listed under "singer" in the dictionary, in addition to descriptive adjectives such as "perfect," "humble," "successful" and "pretty." Flaunt that ish, girl. (In case you're curious, yes, I am obsessed with Adele, and no, I don't feel the need to hide it.)

On Tuesday, the news wires reported that Warren Buffett hired a second manager to help him run Berkshire Hathaway's investment portfolio. Berkshire announced that Ted Weschler would be joining the firm in early 2012. In the meantime, Weschler will be winding down his hedge fund Peninsula Capital Partners. To get a better feel for Weschler's investment style, based on filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission as of the end of the second quarter, these were his fund's five largest holdings.
Investopedia Markets: Explore the best one-stop source for financial news, quotes and insights.
Satellite television provider DirecTV (NYSE:DTV) was Weschler's largest holding at approximately 26%, as of the end of June. The position has likely been handsomely profitable for investors as DirecTV has managed to post impressive growth, which has come despite an onslaught of competition from archrival Dish Network Corp (Nasdaq:DISH), cable television rivals and Internet-based programming. Over the past three years, sales are up nearly 12% annually while profits have jumped at an over 20% annual clip. Strong share price performance has pushed the trailing free cash flow multiple up to 13.5.
WR Grace
Specialty chemical provider W.R. Grace (NYSE:GRA) was the next largest holding at just more than 25%. W.R. Grace has seen more erratic sales growth over the past three years, which is likely a result of an uneven global economy and demand for chemicals that go into transportation fuels, sealants and coatings. But while industrial demand has been down and annual sales have declined nearly 5% over the past three years, profits are up an impressive 35% annual clip over this period. As a result of the stellar profit gains and looking at the stock chart, this has likely been Weschler's biggest winner. The free cash flow multiple has also increased and currently stands at close to 13.
DaVita (NYSE:DVA) runs dialysis centers throughout the U.S. and weighed in at about 19% of the portfolio. Operationally, DaVita has been only an average performer over the past three years, with annual sales growth of 7% and more modest earnings growth of 3.5%. However, as one might expect, its results were unaffected by the credit crisis as patients require dialysis services regardless of the economic climate. As a result, the share price performance has also been stable and the stock has outperformed the market by a wide margin over the past few years. The trailing free cash flow multiple currently stands at about 13.3.
Liberty Media
Another large media play listed in the quarterly filing was John Malone's Liberty Media. It listed class A shares, which are most likely holdings of Liberty Interactive (Nasdaq:LINTA). As with W.R. Grace, annual sales growth has been extremely modest at less than 5% annually over the past three years, but profits have zoomed forward at a nearly 28% annual clip. The stock has followed the strong trends at assets that include interests in QVC shopping, Expedia and SiriusXM (Nasdaq:SIRI). The free cash flow valuation also remains relatively low at below 10.
Rounding out the top five holdings as of the end of June was marketing services firm Valassis Communications Inc. (NYSE:VCI). Valassis made up about nearly 8% of the portfolio and provides numerous marketing and advertising services, including direct mail campaigns and media placement services. Yet again, sales growth has been very modest at just over 1% over the past three years, but profits are up more than 83% annually over this time frame. The trailing free cash flow multiple is similar to that of Liberty Media at around 10.
The Bottom Line
Investors are still getting familiar with Weschler, but his picks and reported performance appear to be impressive. A Wall Street Journal article detailed performance relayed by a current investor with Weschler that a $100 investment on Jan 14, 2000 would have grown to $1,134 through last August. These holdings are good grounds for further research and those further interested in dissecting Weschler's recent stock picks.

Capturing Nuclear Whistle-blower Was A Lucky Stroke,' Agents Recall
"It was luck, pure luck, that we managed to track him down, establish contact with him, and bring him to Israel in the end," a former top Mossad official who was involved in Mordechai Vanunu's capture, recalled this week.
The original report that a worker at the Dimona nuclear plant named Mordechai Vanunu intended to disclose information to the British Sunday Times reached Israel's security establishment in August 1986, via the journalist Ami Doron. A few years earlier, Doron had tried to publish a book about the Dimona plant, together with former Haaretz correspondent Eli Teicher, but Israel's censorship had flatly banned the manuscript.
In August, a journalist from the Sunday Times contacted Doron, asking for help about a person named Vanunu who claimed he worked in the Dimona reactor. Doron relayed the information to a friend, Yoav Deigi. Since security at the reactor is not the IDF's responsibility, the information was passed on to the Shin Bet security service and the Mossad and a "steering committee" was created, with key security figures, such as the Shin Bet's Yossi Ginossar and then deputy Mossad head Shabtai Shavit, as members.
What was called the "prime ministers' club" - prime minister Shimon Peres, his designated replacement under rotation agreements Yitzhak Shamir and defense minister Yitzhak Rabin - decided the authenticity of the information on Vanunu should be checked, that Vanunu should be tracked down, and that an effort should be made to prevent him from disclosing information. This assignment was given mostly to the Mossad, since it is responsible for secret missions outside the country's borders.
Shabtai appointed "B," a Mossad veteran with experience directing agents who was then waiting for a new appointment, to head the damage control effort.
The security establishment received information indicating that Vanunu was to be found in Australia. A joint Mossad-Shin Bet team went to Australia, but was unable to find the technician. By studying passenger lists and border crossing information, security officials concluded that Vanunu was in London. A number of consultations were held: officials decided that if Vanunu were found in London, and if there were a need to bring him to Israel against his will, the kidnapping would not be done on British soil.
Between 1981 and 1985, intelligence relations between Israel and Britain were soured by a number of embarrassing incidents. The first occurred when a courier lost a bag that contained forged British passports in a supermarket in Germany. The passports were to be used by Israeli Military Industries officials who sought entry to China. Another incident involved a Mossad agent who infiltrated a PLO cell in Britain. Members of the cell were arrested on suspicion of involvement in the murder of a Kuwaiti caricaturist whose work ridiculed Yasser Arafat. During interrogations, one member of the cell, a Druze from the Golan Heights, admitted he was a Mossad agent. British security officials were angry the Mossad hadn't shared information which might have prevented a murder, and they expelled some Mossad agents who worked in Britain under diplomatic cover - this move effectively shut down Mossad operations in Britain.
When the Vanunu situation arose, the Mossad decided not to conduct a kidnap operation on British soil, and Shimon Peres welcomed this position due to his desire to avoid another embarrassing entanglement with the "iron lady," prime minister Margaret Thatcher.
A Mossad team, including Cheryl Bentov, nicknamed "Cindy," after her brother's girlfriend (and today his wife), combed through London. With the help of information culled from various sources, the Mossad managed to track down Vanunu. It identified his hotel and kept tabs on his contacts with the Sunday Times.
In Tel Aviv, Shimon Peres was at this point alarmed by the prospect of public disclosure about his "baby" - the Dimona reactor. He convened a meeting of the newspaper editors committee and in an off-the-record talk implored them not to print reports based on stories in the international press about the Dimona plant.
Information about the importance accorded by Israel's prime minister to the subject was leaked via an Israeli journalist to the Sunday Times, and the British newspaper decided after a two-week period of vacillation that the story told to them by Mordechai Vanunu was genuine and important.
The special security team established to work on the case formulated a few possible action scenarios. One proposal, which was not taken very seriously, was to kill Vanunu, rather than trying to kidnap him and possibly bungling the operation. It was clear to security officials that this proposal was, at most, wishful thinking - since the establishment of the state, Israel's security services had never assassinated an Israeli citizen.
Mossad agents continued to comb the streets of London with a picture of Vanunu in their pockets. In an incredible stroke of luck, "Cindy" found Vanunu as he was staring at a store window in Leicester Square. She stood alongside him, and established eye contact with him. Vanunu, who (according to family members) was normally shy with women, summoned the courage to talk with her.
"Are you also a tourist," he asked "Cindy." She identified herself as a cosmetician by profession, and a Jewish American who was touring London. Vanunu invited her for coffee; she played hard to get. Vanunu was hooked.
On September 30, the Sunday Mirror released Vanunu's picture and a report ridiculing the Dimona nuclear reactor disclosure, in an attempt to belittle the Sunday Times, which was about to purchase Vanunu's account. Vanunu was upset, and Cindy exploited his high-strung state. She proposed they leave the following day for Rome, where her sister had an apartment. Though the Sunday Times journalist Peter Hounam explicitly warned Vanunu that Cindy might by a Mossad agent, and that he must not leave British soil, Vanunu took up her offer.
After they flew to Rome, and entered the apartment, two Mossad agents pounced on Vanunu, tied his hands, and injected him with a drug. He was then brought back to Israel by boat.
Cherly Bentov told Haaretz in a telephone interview that she didn't want to discuss the Vanunu story. Bentov, 44, lives in Orlando, Florida with her husband, Ofer, who is a former IDF intelligence officer.

I noticed that those riders share the same qualities as me: they are assertive in their riding style, they most often only stop/trackstand because they HAVE to but if there is no crosstraffic they will ride through a red, they are the ones to wind through slow/stopped traffic. Essentially they occupy roadways but don't act too vehicular.
Then the average guy on a road bike will take their place in a lane but seem to act submissive; at a stop light they will stop. And if there are many cars they will take their place in a line of cars as if a car. They essentially are what I hear as "vehicular" riders. And of course you have those that aren't big on cycling so they ride the sidewalks (unless prohibited by law), and are essentially a walking pedestrian on two wheels.
I know this is a silly post but what do you guys think? Are your riding environments similar?
And if you think this post is lame or wanna post just to roll your eyes, don't bother posting.

Feelin' S.A.D.
Saturday, May 25, 2013
It's still (or again) freezing here, the one day I wasn't cold was a fluke and we're back to the 40-degree grind. The sun is a distant memory...
I started seriously playing Ingress, a fun GPS-based game in which you and your faction try to gain control over portals via something called "exotic matter", which is collected and used in both offensive, defensive and neutral capabilities. Generally speaking, you run around collecting glowing dots on your phone, then fire "XMP" at the other faction's portals, stock them with "resonators", hack them, collect more items, link them, and run to the next one. It's a game that, to play it well, requires hours spent outdoors on foot or on a bike and has you meet quite a few very nice people (mostly of the tech nerd variety). If you're looking for motivation to go out and walk/run/bike, try it. I can send you an invite ;)
So, anyway, combine the game with the current weather and generally feeling stretched thin and you've got a wonderful full-blown feverish cold.
My contact lenses would kind of swim away from my teary eyes, so I had to take them out and use my glasses. I'm almost legally blind without my vision aids, so every morning has turned into an adventure.
Whenever I'm not wearing anything to correct my vision, my sphere of being shrinks down to my immediate environment. To read, I must hold a page close to my face. I can move through my apartment, but I bump into doorframes and anything on the floor, because they are too far away until I've learned the position of everything there is. It's fascinating,because at once with the loss of something so small every single step is an adventure, a venture out of my secure space and into the wide, unknown open.
It's almost too much right now. The doc diagnosed both my thyroid hormones out of whack and S.A.D., which I hadn't thought possible to have, after all, I lived in NYC for more than four years. Still, apparently, the lack of light and warmth makes for a seasonally affected me- at least now I've got an explanation as to why I felt so stretched thin intellectually, like everything was a chore, recently.
I'll have my first infrared light cabin treatment very early on Monday morning (ugh, getting up at five a.m.!), feel like my home has turned into a pharmacy with all the supplements and vitamins and new thyroid things I'm supposed to try out, and just want to get better.
Feeling like walking around your own home is an adventure you'd rather not have is just no fun, plus I feel like my work has suffered. Ugh!
Winter, leave me alone. I want global warming, please! Right here!

Spicy Meat Pies2012-08-16
The all time favorite
Preparation time 25 minutes,
Cooking time 45-50 minutes,
Oven temperature 200°C, 400°F, gas 6,
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 green pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 tablespoon oil
225 g (8 oz) minced beef
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
150 ml (1/4 pint) beef stock
2 teaspoons plain flour
1 – 2 tablespoons water
salt and pepper
pinch of salt
150 g (6 oz) margarine
3 – 4 tablespoons cold water
beaten egg to glaze
for the shortcrust pastry
the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add enough water to mix to a soft dough.1. Fry the vegetables in the oil until soft. Add the minced beef and cook gently for 5 minutes. Stir in the chilli powder, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and stock, and simmer gently for 15 minutes.
2. Mix the flour with a little cold water to form a smooth paste, add to the pan and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Season and leave to cool. Make the shortcrust pastry as below.
3. Roll out thinly on a lightly floured work surface then, using a floured tartlet cutter, stamp out 24 rounds. Use a slightly smaller cutter to stamp out 24 lids.
4. Place the larger rounds into lightly greased tartlet tins and put a spoonful of the mince mixture in each.
5. Dampen the edges of the pastry with a little water and cover each one with a pastry lid. Seal the edges, brush with beaten egg and bake in a moderately hot oven for about 20 minutes.
A quick way of making shortcrust: chill the fat in the freezer, dip in the flour, then grate coarsely. Mix into flour with enough water to bind.

Using hierarchyviewer on the Gmail conversation view shows an interesting and unusual layout hierarchy:
- All messages in a single conversation are rendered in a single WebView (specifically a
com.google.android.gm.CustomWebView, seen on the left). Only the body of the messages is rendered - the spaces where the headers would go are left blank.
- On top of the WebView is overlaid a
com.google.android.gm.MessageHeaderScrollView(seen on the right) which uses a
HybridConversationScrollContainerto position a
MessageHeaderViewin the correct position for each message in the conversation view.
So, how (and why) is this achieved? Is it something that an Android developer could & should aspire to re-create in their own apps?
Obviously the probable why is performance - WebView uses the fast native WebKit rendering of the message text, and a single WebView is probably more efficient than a separate WebView for each message. If anyone has seen any good blogposts on the performance benefits of this I'd be interested.
Yet there's an obvious complexity cost to this approach (against naively using an ExpandableListView with some TextViews inside it or whatever) - the
HybridConversationScrollContainer has to somehow work out where the message headers should go over the web-rendering, in order to position it's
MessageHeaderViews correctly. What I'd like to know is: How does it work out those offsets?

I got a sweet little angel and I love her so
She's there when I need her, she understands when I say go
In the night, when she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong
Living with her unfolds me, she gives me strength to carry on
I don't need anyone else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna
And I know if she left me, my world would turn cold
She's the best little lady that a man could ever hold
When I'm down, she knows what to say
She clears my blindness away
And in the night, she says "Hold me", it makes me feel so strong
I don't need nobody else
If I did I would be fooling myself
Anna, Anna

Yes, but relational formalises metadata INTO data. Once it's in an RDBMS it's no longer metadata, because the rdbms doesn't understand any meaning in it and can't take advantage of that meaning so it's just data.
The ordering in a list is metadata. Convert that into a set to put into an rdbms and ORDER is now just a meaningless (as far as the db engine is concerned) bit of data.
That's where MV and OO fundamentally differ. They try to *avoid* converting metadata to data, so that the db engine can be intelligent and take advantage of it to optimise things.

Four more years?
National | Political analysis: Will Dole also drag down the Congress?
For better or worse, Bob Dole is going to be nominated in San Diego in August, but the question is: Can he get elected?
There are several factors that will influence the answer. First, there is the state of the Dole campaign. While better organized than the Bush effort in 1992, the Dole campaign generates no enthusiasm from even Dole supporters. Moreover, the campaign itself is not in control of the situation. In late March, Mr. Dole met with 39 senators in a group put together by Senate Steering Committee Chairman Larry Craig of Idaho. Senator after senator told Mr. Dole that he belonged out in the countryside. "When you are the Republican presidential nominee you are Bill Clinton's equal. When you are dealing with matters in the Senate, you are diminished," Georgia Senator Paul Coverdell told Mr. Dole. Senator after senator agreed, and when the meeting was over, Mr. Dole said, "Good plan. We'll do it."
But the next day, Mr. Dole's Chief of Staff Sheila Burke, who made a point of accompanying Mr. Dole to the meeting but not staying for it, told The Washington Post that the notion that Mr. Dole should be out and about the country wasn't an issue. Mr. Dole belongs in Washington and doing business in the Senate, she said, because this is where he is most comfortable and this is where he wants to be.
Senators who took part in the meeting the day before were incredulous. But I'd bet that Sheila Burke would prevail over the wishes of the majority of the GOP caucus any day. Washington is where she is in control.
Second, there is the matter of Mr. Dole's running mate. One of the few opportunities Mr. Dole has to inject some enthusiasm into his campaign is to pick a running mate who will energize his base. But contrary voices inside the Dole camp are telling him to forget about his base. The theory is that Mr. Dole should worry about the broad picture. That is why the name of Colin Powell keeps coming up. And the names of Governors Christine Todd Whitman and Pete Wilson keep being mentioned.
Dole operatives minimize the potential of a conservative walkout if one of these candidates is picked. But now there is Pat Buchanan. Howard Phillips had offered Buchanan the nomination of the Taxpayer's Party which will be on ballots in many states. My guess is that Pat won't go that route, but it may well depend on how he is treated between now and the convention. And, of course, there is the impending platform fight on social issues. If that is not handled carefully, it has enormous potential to blow up.
My prediction is that Mr. Dole will choose a governor as his running mate to blunt the issue that he is "Beltway Bob," the ultimate insider. I have suggested that his pick will be George Voinovich, the governor of Ohio. Gov. Voinovich is one of the few governors who would not cause a contrast between the presidential and vice presidential nominees. Mr. Voinovich is Catholic and from a large industrial state. Catholics are now the swing voters in American politics.
Mr. Voinovich will be chosen, I predict, because he delivers some of what Mr. Dole needs and while he doesn't excite the Republican base, he will not be competition for Mr. Dole. And it is unlikely anyone will bolt the party because of such a choice.
Third, there is the Ross Perot factor. He is hinting he will run again, and has said if he doesn't, he will field a candidate. While some polls show that Mr. Perot would pull nearly what he did in 1992, I doubt that. In fact, some of the Republican-leaning Perot voters may be easier to return to the fold when it is argued that a vote for Perot is a vote for Clinton than some of the Democratic-leaning Perot voters. Mr. Perot is likely to hit at Clinton far harder than he did in 1992, when most of his fire was aimed at President Bush.
What of Bill Clinton? Right now his relatively high approval ratings are deceptive. The key number in a presidential race is his re-elect number. It remains low. The latest national survey had it as 41 percent, two points below what he got in 1992.
Mr. Clinton may have to worry about the economy, which always is a problem for an incumbent president when it isn't going well. The economy right now is soft and may be getting softer. Mr. Clinton will try to blame this on the Republican Congress, but it is unlikely to wash. It is clear that Clinton has prevailed on most policy questions with the Republican Congress.
And there is Whitewater, Vince Foster, Travelgate, and Paula Jones. Right now none of these is a big problem for Mr. Clinton, but collectively they help to determine his low re-elect numbers. He may be fortunate. The Whitewater case against Gov. Jim Guy Tucker isn't going terribly well for independent counsel Ken Starr. But if something breaks on any one of these fronts, it could damage Bill Clinton significantly. Of course, that assumes that the so-called mainstream media will play it for what it is worth. Don't count on that.
But frankly, I am much more worried about a Republican Congress. I look at what organized labor and its allies did in the special election in Oregon. Republicans had an excellent candidate. Democrats had a divisive primary and ended up with a whining Portland liberal, Ron Wyden, for their nominee. But thanks to extraordinary campaign work by the AFL-CIO, their environmentalist allies, and liberal lifestyle groups, Mr. Wyden was elected by 16,000 votes.
Look at the margins of half of the freshmen. A turnaround of a few thousand votes here and there and the Democrats would have continued to control the Congress. First Louis Farrakhan went to the Middle East and, after conferring with the enemies of this country, announced that $1 billion was on its way for the elections. The Clinton Administration has not lifted a finger to challenge this illegal activity. Then the AFL-CIO is about to raise dues so it can get another $37 million to use in key races against the freshmen. Bold statements by GOP Campaign Committee Chairman Bill Paxon of New York that the Republicans are sure to pick up 20 seats notwithstanding, there are no comparable resources being spent by conservatives and Republicans to protect the freshmen.
The Republicans will be very fortunate to hold their own. Most likely they will lose some seats in the House, and a Democratic takeover is not out of the question.
Forget the talk about 60 Republican seats in the Senate. The way things are shaping up, the Republicans will be lucky if they don't lose a seat or two there, as well. Some of the seats they thought they were going to win easily, such as Georgia, are proving to be a problem. And some Republican incumbents such as Jesse Helms in North Carolina and Strom Thurmond in South Carolina are in big trouble and may not be helped by the usual GOP presidential surge this year.
Most likely possibilities at this point: A narrow Clinton win with a diminished Republican Congress. A Dole electoral college win with a diminished GOP Congress. A Dole electoral college win with a slightly Democratic Congress.
But of course, how things look right now, at the end of March, is not how things may look in a few months. Jimmy Carter, at this stage, seemed certain to defeat Ronald Reagan if one were to believe the polls. And George Bush was the prohibitive favorite to lose in 1988 (when he won in a landslide) and to win in 1992 (when he lost in a landslide).
Mr. Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation is a veteran political activist and strategist in Washington. This article was adapted from his March issue of the Weyrich Insider.

$45,000 Conference Table Made From Airplane Engine
This is the $45,000 conference table made from a retired 747's General Electrics engine. Only the nacelle of the engine though, so it's not like you could use it to build your own plane if you bought one. WHICH FOR $45,000 YOU SHOULD. Man, could you imagine investing your hard earned money in a company, then finding out later they bought a $45,000 table for the conference room? Because if that happened to me they'd have A SERIOUS F***ING PROBLEM on their hands. Namely, an unannounced guest at the next board meeting swinging a baseball bat. *shattering projector* YOU NO GOOD SONS OF BITCHES TOTALLY ENRON'D ME!
Thanks to Dunc, who holds conferences at a table made from a closet door laying across two folding chairs.
