Turkey's Muslim creationist Harun Yahya is not satisfied with sending lavish books against evolution and Darwin to western schools. He's now running an anti-evolution essay contest with a top prize of $64,000. He has just doubled the prize money from $32,000 and boosted the maximum length for essays from 15 to 60 pages.
"The competitors of the competition "Why Is the Theory of Evolution Invalid?" held by Science Research Foundation had some righteous demands, stating that given the too many dilemmas of Darwinism, 15 pages is too short for their essays and that the time is inadequate ... The purpose of this competition is to raise young people's awareness of Darwinism, which has inflicted immense damage on mankind and to put them on their guard against this terrible fraud in science."
… One hundred participants have to first be accepted on the basis of the essays. They will then have to take a test consisting of 80 questions about evolution. The announcement says the test will be held in December 2009 at a location to be announced.
This made me wonder about who would enter this contest. Harun Yahya is one of the few Muslims active in the creationism field... would they [Christians] approve of their children submitting essays to Harun Yahya's contest? Would the creationist museums in the United States advertise this attractive offer? I can't imagine there is such a jackpot anywhere else for a creationist essay.

Exactly a year from now, London will be hosting the Summer Olympic Games (19 sports on the day, to be exact), but the condition of the city right now is not appropriate for hosting one of the world's biggest events. For the third night in a row, rioters have ravaged, looted, and set fire to the city, the worst civil unrest in memory.
In a stroke of tragic irony, all 204 competing nations have sent managers to London this week, specifically to prepare for transportation, accommodations, and food for their Olympic teams. Obviously their concerns have shifted to security issues, as they've witnessed London's most urban areas become an apocalyptic nightmare. Croydon, Hackney, Notting Hill, Clapham, Peckham, East Dulwich, Enfield, Islington, Hackney, Camden Town, Soho and Bethnal Green are just some of the neighborhoods that have been burned and looted by gangs, but the violence has also spread to other cities in the U.K., including Birmingham and Liverpool.
As the world watches thousands of police in riot gear failing to cope with London's unrest, one must wonder if this is a city that is prepared to host the Olympics? Since the riots began, LOCOG has maintained that proper security plans are in place and they are constantly being reviewed. Security has always been a top priority for these games since the day London got the bid, but police and firefighters have already admitted that they are overstretched and cannot respond to every call. Despite such deficiency, LOCOG has not expressed concern over security for the games; they've only admitted that it's not exactly a great advert to bring people to the city.
So far, there has been no damage to the Olympic Venues, but soccer/football matches are being cancelled. Wednesday's friendly between England and Holland at Wembley Stadium has been cancelled, as well as every league match in the South and East London. East London is where a lot of the riots are occurring, a section of the city that is home to the Olympic Park.
As a result of these riots, would you cancel a trip to the Olympics? Comment below, and check out my last blog post to analyze a really unfortunate coincidence involving these riot's and London 2012's choice of advertising music.

1 cup Corn Flour
½ cup White Rice Flour
½ cup Corn Starch
1 tsp Baking Powder
½ cup Shredded Coconut
½ cup Evaporated Cane Juice
1 Egg
½ cup Butter
Mix dry ingredients together; set aside. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, egg and sugar. Add the dry ingredients and blend until smooth. Make 1-½ inch balls with the dough and place on greased baking sheet. Flatten the balls gently with the palm of your hand. Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Makes 2 dozen cookies.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/2/2013 (1655 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Back in the days when a penny was still worth five Mojos at the local store, Grandpa paid us a cent a plant one hot July afternoon to hand-pull the non-conforming plants out of his seed oat crop.
If some agronomists are correct, farm kids of the future might also benefit from a similar entrepreneurial experience.
Hand-weeding -- as well as every other means of offing herbicide-resistant weeds before they go to seed -- is now promoted as a measure farmers should consider if they want to avoid a creeping invasion of weeds that don't respond to herbicides.
They call them "escapes," a few weeds left standing after a herbicide treatment that should have killed them. Farmers get fooled, thinking the sprayer missed them. So they go to seed. One weedy plant that goes to seed can distribute hundreds of thousands of seeds carrying the same resistant gene.
It was only a few short years ago that stories started to surface about U.S. cotton farmers whose farm trucks, once loaded with herbicide containers, are now filled with hoes. That was safely far away.
But when provincial agronomists visited fields just across the border in North Dakota last year, they found fields infested with weeds resistant to at least one, and in some cases, multiple herbicides.
Herbicide tolerance is a double-edged sword. It's a good thing to have crops that can survive a herbicide application while all the weeds around them die. But a weed is a plant in the wrong place at the wrong time, not necessarily a bad plant. That means seeds from last year's crop can germinate and turn into this year's weed.
Nature doesn't distinguish between the two and has proven extraordinarily capable of breaking down the artificial barriers scientists and farmers keep trying to erect.
While crops modified to resist certain insects have been shown to use fewer pesticides, the opposite is true for herbicide-tolerant crops, which are now starting to need "stacked traits," or more than one type of herbicide in the mix, to get the job done.
Some weed scientists are openly questioning the industry's single-minded focus on herbicides, particularly the introduction of stacked traits, to address the growing problem of herbicide-resistant weeds.
"Why are so many weed scientists and extension personnel recommending more herbicides to mitigate herbicide-resistance problems?" asks an editorial by six leading Canadian weed researchers, Neil Harker, John O'Donovan, Robert Blackshaw, Hugh Beckie, C. Mallory Smith and Bruce Maxwell, published last year in the journal Weed Science.
These researchers argue promoting "herbicide diversity" and stacked-trait technology as the solution to herbicide-resistant weeds is short-sighted at best. "Multiple resistance to herbicides with different sites of actions has occurred in the past and will increasingly occur in the future," they say.
They call for greater diversity in the crop rotation, more focus on integrated pest management and fewer in-crop applications of glyphosate, the non-selective herbicide that is the active ingredient in Roundup Ready crops. Once thought to be infallible, there is a growing list of weeds worldwide that have developed resistance to it.
"Are we a discipline so committed to maintaining the profits for the agrochemical industry that we cannot offer up realistic long-term solutions to this pressing problem?" the weed researchers ask.
In a 2011 essay, Robert Zimdahl, a retired weed scientist from Colorado State University, eloquently describes the tunnel vision that has displaced biological logic.
"Most biologists accede to the view that their research is contributing to an expanding view of nature that will never be complete. However, in some sectors of biology, and I think especially in weed control, scientists may not operate from this broader biological perspective. We know weed control is evolving, but its evolution has been constrained because 20 years ago the science focused almost exclusively on a single solution to the problem. The desirable goal of weed control was too frequently hitched to the technological achievement of herbicides."
Farmers often complain they can't control the weather, nor can they control the markets, but on this one, they are in the driver's seat because they choose what to grow on their farms. However, they continue to be easily swayed by simple solutions to this complex problem.
Next week: One U.S. researcher is taking the concept of crop rotation to a whole new level.

Now that the weather has been getting cooler, I've been thinking of making this Belgian Beef Stew from The BGE Cookbook for a while now. Before I get going with the stew pictures, I'll include a couple more pictures from items added to my grilling area.
My new 27"x27"x36"H outdoor storage cabinet. It is constructed entirely of faux wood (plastic) except for the marble tile top.
I bought some gasketed waterproof storage containers at The Container Store for keeping the items I store moisture (humidity) & insect free.
The Container Store had these Kingsford charcoal storage caddies for 20 or 22 pound bags of charcoal. The intent is the charcoal could actually be stored right in the opened bag. The bags for the Wicked Good lump I use didn't fit, but the charcoal can be poured straight into the container.
The first thing I did was cook up 2 batches of Buttermilk Biscuits. My dough was a little soupy and they didn't hold their shape while baking, but everyone said they were my best ever. So I guess I should shutup and say: "Just like I planned it".
A 2 pound sirloin tip roast was sliced into cubes.
The recipe called this a seasoning sachet: It was made with thyme sprigs, bay leaves, orange & lemon zest. It gets wrapped in a piece of cheesecloth which is tied to hold the seasonings securely.
My new cabinet easily holds a full sheet pan with room to spare. Here we have round one of the stew ingredients: The cubed beef, the seasoning sachet, sliced carrots, diced onions, sliced celery, sliced bacon, flour, coriander, minced garlic, salt & pepper and Belgian White beer.
Having the BGE cookbook in electronic form made the prep easy because I could bring my iPad with me to the Kitchen and out to the grill.
The first step was to cook up the diced bacon. the Egg is set to 500 degrees and the Dutch Oven has been preheated for 10 minutes.
The bacon is done and gets removed while the bacon fat is retained for the next steps.
The carrots, onions and celery are sauteed next.
The cubed beef is browned next.
The beef is coated with flour and the minced garlic is added and cooked for a minute.
The 4 bottles of beer are added as is the coriander, cooked bacon and seasoning sachet. The other two bottles were consumed by the cook. The Dutch oven is covered and is heated at 500 degrees for 30 minutes, then the heat is reduced to 300 degrees and the stew simmers for another 30 minutes.
After an hour the stew had reduced drastically to a thick stock.
The next step was to add 3 cups of water and simmer for 30 minutes, 3 more cups and simmer for another 15 minutes, then add one cup and simmer for 15. Then the diced potatoes and the reserved carrots, onion and celery plus 2 more cups of water are added for a final 30 minute simmer.
The stew is done on the grill. Time to head into the kitchen for a few final additions.
Some butter, peas, fresh chives, lemon and orange juice are added to the stew.
The stew is ready to eat and is served with the buttermilk biscuits.
The buttermilk biscuits weren't pretty, but they were the best eating ones I've made.
This stew took 4 hours from start to finish, but was well worth the time and effort.
This was the most interesting beef stew I've had. It had some of the usual flavors but lots of other flavors I don't associate with beef stew. Everyone loved the citrus flavor and everyone had seconds or thirds. My dad rarely has seconds and waits till everyone is done before he takes seconds. This day he was going for his seconds before anyone else had finished their first serving.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a Beauty Buzz feature and hosted a giveaway for KleanSpa. Here's the original post. In case you were wondering KleanSpa products can be found in salons and stores throughout the nation. If you love creating your own scents and live in the Los Angeles area, then I would recommend attending their monthly Blending Bash. At the Bash, you will personally work with Jennifer (the owner) to create your own signature fragrance.
I attended one last month and it was so much fun! I went with Nik and Denise at the Burbank location which is inside an amazing boutique called MindfulNest. I think most of the night we spent shopping, drinking champagne, and choosing the oils for our scents. I created Chaotic Fruit, which consists of watermelon, pina colada, mango, and cucumber melon.. It smells so yummy.
Here's a little video I took:

The trend over the last few years in which customers have placed extremely large orders for airliners has raised questions about the underlying reasons and its potential effect on OEMs that continue to raise production rates in response. The practice seems most prevalent among customers for narrowbodies, prompting both Boeing and Airbus to project rate increases to well beyond 40 per month in the coming years and raising concerns within some circles of a so-called bubble in the sector.
In an informal poll of several hundred aircraft traders and lenders taken during the recent ISTAT airline finance conference, 74 percent thought narrowbody rates from 2013 to 2015 would prove too high. Only 9 percent rated narrowbody rates too low, and 17 percent "just right."
Meanwhile, some of the industry's highest profile leasing company executives offered mixed, but carefully considered, reactions to what CIT Group Transportation Finance president Jeffrey Knittel called the "mega order syndrome."
"There're still a number of egos running airlines around the world," quipped ILFC chief executive Henri Courpron, "but for a number of reasons it doesn't make sense to place small orders. As you start a business, you need to give visibility to the investors, you need to give visibility to the community around you and the people committed to your growth. So that comes with a fleet plan.
"This said, there seems to be a little bit of exuberance in airplane orders," added Courpron. "But this will sort itself out…Boeing and Airbus are doing their jobs."
Air Lease chairman and CEO Steven Udvar-Hazy similarly refused to offer a blanket judgment. "You have to look at each individual circumstance," he said, while noting that the 100 Boeing 737-900ERs that Delta Air Lines ordered last year will replace 28- to 30-year-old 757s.
Udvar-Hazy called this past January's Norwegian Airlines order for 100 B-737MAX 8s, 22 B-737-800NGs and 100 A320neos a mission to "be both offensive and defensive," and follow a strategy designed to react to a possible implosion at SAS. Finally, he explained, both Lion Air, which in February placed an order for 201 B-737 MAX 9s and 29 B-737-900ERs, and Air Asia, which holds orders for 200 A320neos, plan a pan-Asian expansion beyond their predominant markets of Indonesia and Malaysia. "So each of these mega orders has its own flavor of ice cream," said Udvar-Hazy.
Gecas leasing group boss Norman Liu noted that customers have spread such orders over eight to ten years, making the delivery schedules manageable. "The ones I get a little bit nervous about are the ones in which they start talking about leasing company ventures or when everybody has the same idea but it's in the same region," Liu cautioned.
Finally, Awas leasing group CEO Raymond Sisson reached the most absolute conclusion. "I think manufacturers are trending production rates too high temporarily," he said. "I believe you will see that contract in time, as the delivery world matches the order world more closely.
"As a lessor, I have a great deal of trouble making sense of speculative orders," he added. "When you talk about Neo and MAX availability between 2017 and 2018, that's a long time to be taking a risk on escalation."

It is a good strategy, if things don't work out due to poor economics of older aircraft the airline goes BK and rejects contracts on old fuel burners needing lots of maintenance and starts over with an up to date fleet.

DETROIT - Willie Lee Wimberly, of Trenton, and Steve Deshaun Smith-Rush, of Inkster, face charges including assault with intent to commit murder after an alleged road rage incident on New Year's Eve which started outside the MGM Grand Casino and ended on Interstate 94 in Detroit.
Read story: Man, woman shot during wild road rage incident
A preliminary hearing to determine if the two will go to trial in the case was held in court on Wednesday.
Wimberly and Smith-Rush are accused of following a Range Rover from the MGM Grand Casino and eventually opening fire on the vehicle on Interstate 94 in Detroit
A man and woman were inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting and were both injured.
Today, that woman took the stand to testify against her alleged attackers. She was still wearing a cast on her arm from the injuries.
"There were two figures shooting at me and I'm feeling the bullets and I'm seeing the glass and I'm hearing it and I'm feeling it. There were two individuals shooting," said the female victim, who's identity was concealed.
A man who was expected to be a witness in this case was recently killed. Wimberly was arrested and charged in that case too.
The preliminary exam will continue on Monday, March 4.

"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"I ordered these in the color "aloe". They look so beautiful in person! They have a pearl finish, which you can't see on the computer, but it adds such an extra element of class. I redesigned the back of the RSVP cards so that they were largely the aloe color instead of so much black, and they made the changes for me quickly and so beautifully! Very easy process, with a stunning end result."
"This product is outstanding. I have been most impressed by the quality, service and ease of use on the website. I had my invitations delivered to Australia and they were worth every cent and more. Thankyou for making this part of my wedding planning easy and extremely affordable. I love my invitations!!"
"I could not be more happy with how these invitations turned out. I paid the small upcharge for the pearl paper and was nervous that it would feel flimsy, but they are seriously perfect. There are plenty of aspects of planning this wedding that have been complicated, but the this was not one of them. The ONLY caveat was that you can't rearrange any of the text boxes on your own for spacing and have to work with a designer, however, they got back with me very quickly and it was a painless process. Even if our cruise ship wedding sinks in Alaska, I will have had FABULOUS invitations."
"I realized I used my other daughter's middle name after submitting the invitation for printing. Called WPD immediately and the designer was helpful and extremely understanding. Product is perfect. Very happy with the quality."

Razzie Awards Complete List of Winners: Adam Sandler Really Sucks
The results of the 2011 Razzie Awards are in. The verdict? Adam Sandler SERIOUSLY sucked this year. For real.
-Lucia Peters
Just when you thought awards season was over, three more shows come along in one weekend: The ACMAs, the Kid's Choice Awards… and of course, the almighty Razzie Awards. With all of the pomp and circumstance surrounding most show biz awards ceremonies, it's nice to have something to remind us that at times, show biz is RIDICULOUS and that not everything that comes out of Hollywood is all rainbows and kittens and wonderfulness. And lucky us, the results of the 32nd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards are in!
At the end of February, Adam Sandler made Razzie Awards history when he and his movies were nominated for a whopping 11 awards. This is especially impressive when you consider that there are only 10 Razzie Award categories. You know what that means, right? Yep: He was nominated not once, but TWICE in one category. For the curious, that category was Worst Actor, and he took a nod for both Jack & Jill and Just Go With It. For the curious, the previous record holder was Eddie Murphy in 2007.
And hey, guess what? Adam just made Razzie history—again! On Sunday night, Jack & Jill became the first film in the Razzies' 32-year history to win every. Single. Award. You heard me: The monstrosity that was Jack & Jill won all ten Razzie awards for 2011 in a single evening. This feat also included Adam winning the awards for both Worst Actor AND Worst Actress, which is perhaps the strongest argument for the actor never attempting to do drag again. Ever. Note, by the way, that the previous record holder with eight wins was the 2007 Lindsay Lohan flop I Know Who Killed Me—in which LiLo played twins. Coincidence? Hmmm…
Read Happy Birthday, Michael Fassbender! The Birthday Boy's 11 Hottest Roles
Interestingly, there was one category that actually ended up being a pretty tight race: That of Worst Screen Ensemble. This particular category wasn't just voted upon by the 657 Voting Members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation; this year, voting was opened up to the general public for the very first time. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the site at which balloting was conducted, Jack & Jill just barely beat out the cast of Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part I.
Here's the complete list of winners (for the list of nominees, click here):
WORST PICTURE: Jack & Jill
WORST ACTOR: Adam Sandler, Jack & Jill
WORST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Al Pacino, Jack & Jill
WORST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: David Spade, Jack & Jill
WORST SCREEN ENSEMBLE: The cast of Jack & Jill
WORST DIRECTOR: Dennis Dugan, Jack & Jill
WORST PREQUEL, REMAKE, RIP-OFF OR SEQUEL: Jack & Jill
WORST SCREEN COUPLE: Adam Sandler and Any of the Following: Katie Holmes, Al Pacino OR Adam Sandler, Jack & Jill
WORST SCREENPLAY: Jack & Jill (screenplay by Steve Koren & Adam Sandler, story by Ben Zook)
Well, congratulations (?) to the cast and crew of Jack & Jill for making the absolute worst movie of 2011. Maybe now that Adam Sandler has gotten this out of his system, he can start making movies like Punch Drunk Love again? We can always hope!

With bullet-like lines and a modern Francesco Paszkowski-designed interior, the SL94 is an aesthetic triumph that is sure to turn many heads in Miami this year. But what show-goers may not immediately appreciate is her immense practicality. For example, a roomy stern garage can hold water toys up to 15 feet in length without sacrificing deck space, and is complemented by a hydraulic swim platform for easy access to the water. Meanwhile the traditionally configured accommodations deck features an amidships master that will keep owners well rested on any passage. The SL94 proves that sometimes you can judge a book (or a boat) by its cover.

India made three changes for the fourth Investec Test against an England side who resisted the temptation to tinker with a winning formula at Emirates Old Trafford.
The tourists added opener Gautam Gambhir, spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and paceman Varun Aaron in place of Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami, but the hosts left Steven Finn on the sidelines in an unchanged XI.
The hosts won by a handsome margin of 266 runs at the Ageas Bowl last time out, leaving the series level at 1-1.
Touring captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss after a half-hour rain delay and opted to bat despite cloud cover overhead.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The 800-pound gorilla should be back at home after hotel workers finally arrived to pick it up from the man's apartment, but they appeared to change their minds late Wednesday evening.
When workers from The Metropolitan Express first arrived to Giovanni Alba's apartment around 5 p.m., they turned around after seeing news crews were there. They told Giovanni that they would come back later.
It only led to a confrontation between hotel workers and Giovanni. He told them, "Seriously guys, get your statue out of my house."
The 800-pound gorilla has sat on Giovanni Alba's 2nd story patio for about 3 weeks.
Giovanni lives at Towns of Southgate Complex about 4 miles from the hotel. He and his friends had to use a dolly to get it up his stairs because it's practically impossible to pick up.
Giovanni told Local 6, "Within the first week, I was doing research on it and I was like 'well hey it's a gorilla, someone lost it, nothing came up. I'm like it's just a gorilla who cares.'"
When he searched again on Christmas, he found a Local 6 report when The Metropolitan Express reported the several thousand dollar statue had been stolen.
The mystery has since made headlines across the country.
"I never thought that over an 800-pound gorilla that I'd be going national." Giovanni said.
That's because it is a baffling mystery- who would steal an 800-pound bronze gorilla statue and how? The gorilla's original home was the pool area of the hotel located on International Drive. It got to Giovanni's front step after his friend found it in the neighborhood and left it at his door as a joke.
Giovanni said, "It took me 3 weeks, but hey there it is." Even though, he says he could have made more than $2000 from the metal.
Local 6's Sheli Muniz asked: "So, a round of drinks that they're offering."
"That offer, yeah, still stands, but I think a little bit more would help," responded Giovanni.
Giovanni said he just wanted it to get to the rightful owner, but wouldn't mind a $1,000 reward for it. Meanwhile, he says Orlando police officers arrived to his home early Wednesday morning and no charges will be filed.
Local 6 tried to call the hotel after they refused to originally pick it up, but got no response.
Giovanni says the two workers arrived hours later with a tow truck and retrieved the statue.

At not quite 30 years old, Jordan Pacitti's body was already aching seriously from his career as a professional ballet dancer. In addition, he had accomplished more than he ever thought he would in the 11 years he danced with Pacific Northwest Ballet (PNB), including working with choreographic greats like Twyla Tharp and Susan Stroman.
And so, in 2010, Pacitti hung up his ballet slippers and devoted himself to a second career in fragrance and skin care. He said in 2011, "Like ballet, fragrance was just in my blood. It has been a passion since I can remember." When he was a student at the School of American Ballet, he often spent a good portion of his food allowance on fragrances.
Given the success of his nascent company, called Jordan Samuel (his given name), he opened a retail space and facial studio in Queen Anne's NW Work Lofts (3131 Western Ave.) this June. But, of course, this milestone in his business didn't happen overnight.
Going all-natural
The launch of Pacitti's new business, initially focused on a line of all-natural fragrances, was greatly facilitated by PNB's career transition program, Second Stage. He received $8,000 in financial assistance from Second Stage to cover start-up costs, including trademarking his company's name, business licensing and obtaining supplies. Some of the grant also went toward a six-month aesthetics training program at the Gary Manuel Aveda Institute on Capitol Hill.
Upon completing his training and while getting some practical experience at a local spa, Pacitti developed his own line of all-natural skin-care products, including cleansers, mists and moisturizers. Then he converted the first floor of his townhouse to a "sanctuary," where he could provide individualized facial treatments to clients.
He demonstrated his signature JoTox facial on KING-5's "New Day Northwest" program earlier in July, and his products were mentioned in The Wall Street Journal in February.
Pacitti insists on his products being all-natural — that is, made without synthetic ingredients and preservatives, given his personal commitment to sustainability.
His approach is also fueled by his husband's experience with cancer. At just 24, PNB dancer Ben Griffiths was diagnosed with a form of cancer that had also affected a child he knew growing up in Idaho. Given the low rate of incidence of this form of cancer, Pacitti and Griffiths couldn't help but wonder about a possible environmental cause. (Note: Five years post-treatment, Griffiths was declared cancer-free last winter.)
A similar dedication
Initially operating out of his home, Pacitti drew clients from his wide circle of friends; he intends for that to change with the new commercial space. He has also become popular with local performers from PNB and Teatro ZinZanni.
One such client is PNB principal dancer Lesley Rausch. Frequent use of heavy stage makeup, meant to block light, irritates her skin and clogs her pores; she also suffered from cystic acne. By seeing Pacitti for facial treatments "every month and a half to two months," her acne cleared up and her skin tone became more even, she said.
In between appointments, she uses his products for her daily skin-care routine. Rausch likes "how they smell, feel and that they are reasonably-priced."
Rausch is also excited for her former dancing partner's successful transition into a different field.
"He's gone to school and works so hard to make contacts in his industry," she said. "He's doing something really special: He's taken his dedication for dance and applied that to his business. You want to find something [to replace dancing]. It's really nice to see that."
For Pacitti, being an aesthetician and dancing aren't really that far apart. According to him, each facial is a kind of performance: He takes the time to explain the various steps as he's doing them, educating the client about what he's doing and why.
Rausch said, "As a performer, you give a lot of yourself to the audience." Now, Pacitti is doing that on a one-on-one basis with each client who walks through his door.

Malih - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkmaybe Samsung is testing the water, they could be planning an S6 with metal body, if this sells reasonably well, they need a new design. Reply
Mr Perfect - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkI hope this isn't what they go with for the S6, the design just screams iPhone at me. The home button isn't round, but beyond that it looks like one of those Chinese knock-off iPhones. Reply
craighamilton - Saturday, December 06, 2014 - linkTired of the big ones, I guess. But back to the topic...Samsung Alpha is nowhere in comparable to S5 which is one of the top rated phones in terms of consumer satisfaction (seen at http://www.topreport.org/phones/) Reply
uhuznaa - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkA 1860mAh battery isn't really much (this is about the same as the 1800mAh battery of the Galaxy S2 with its 4.3" 480×800 display).
Looks nice though. If this will be enough to justify high-end prices without high-end features (sensors, fingerprint sensor, higher resolution)? Certainly a nice alternative to phones like the Moto G... Reply
smorebuds - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkExcept that it'll likely be twice the price as the LTE Moto G. Reply
maroon1 - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkExcept that Moto G comes out with very weak CPU/GPU snadragon 400, only 1GB ram, only 8GB to 16GB storage, worse camera, and it lacks many other features that Alpha have
The two should not be compared Reply
Alexvrb - Saturday, August 16, 2014 - linkYeah Moto G definitely doesn't compete with this directly. I'd also be willing to bet that the Alpha has a better looking display in practice, especially in bright light. PPI isn't everything. That doesn't make the Moto G a bad phone, but this is definitely a more upscale mid-sized phone. Which is good because a lot of the "mini" variants of phones really get watered down hardware. I know a few people that will not buy anything 5"+ but they still want a fast device.
I'm not so thrilled about the lack of an SD card slot but at least 32GB is standard. Reply
jjj - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkThe battery seems rather small and the price is likely to be ridiculous given the S5 Mini pricing.
As for this
" Intel's new LTE modem and mark a break from Qualcomm's dominance in the sector."
Might be but it doesn't mean much. The real threat to Qualcomm is Mediatek starting to sell LTE and most Mediatek based phones end up with no price premium for LTE. So Qualcomm is likely to get some margins erosion and for Intel it will be hard to get wins when the 2 big names fight for share.
PS: since someone is bound to go crazy because i've called Mediatek a big name, they are likely to ship some 350 million smartphone SoCs this year, almost 30% of the market and they are about to reach 2 billions revenue per quarter so more than most semi companies. Next year if you exclude RAM and NAND makers (Samsung , Micron, Hynix ,Toshiba) they are likely to get into top 5 with just Intel, Qualcomm and TI ahead of them. Reply
Andrei Frumusanu - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkWe have yet to see MediaTek have any big design wins with the big OEMs and have any real penetration in the western market, Intel is much better positioned at the moment to win market share from Qualcomm in that regard considering Samsung is their biggest costumer. Reply
jjj - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkHave you seen who the big OEMs are? Most of the top 10 OEMs are China based now plus this is the time of the small and regional players. And how exactly is the western market what matters?
The so called western market is not all that big. China is almost 40% of the smartphone market now, India will surpass the US in units in 2016 and has huge room to grow further. The US is maybe 12% of the market now and can only decrease, Western Europe is maybe 17% of the market now.
As for Intel and Samsung, not only Samsung will never work with a single partner,they also have their own baseband and will keep working on it because they need it.Samsung is also bleeding share and will need huge price cuts in the next years to keep share, if they don't their share will crumble.
Intel needs to integrate and get some wins but they are not at all in a favorable position since both Qualcomm and Mediatek will be pushing hard. Reply
GKR - Friday, August 15, 2014 - linkSurprisingly, MediaTek did not win also in the first round of CMCC selection for the TDD LTE devices. It was Marvell that made it to the list of approved SOC's for the TDD-LTE network. MediaTek is yet to show any win in China for LTE. Having missed the next Samsung device, it would be interesting to see how this is going to affect MediaTek's revenue. Reply
bigstrudel - Sunday, August 17, 2014 - linkThe western market means less every year. That's why Qualcomm is switching to Stock ARM cores on the 810: To compete with discount SoC makers from China and elsewhere. Cheap parts will rule the market in the coming years.
99% of people don't care about speed. They care about fluidity and low price. Even MediaTek A7 designs run Android fluidly now. Reply
lilmoe - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkAm I the only one that thinks this isn't a mid-range phone at all? Am I also the only one who thinks 720p on a 4.7" is perfectly fine? The lower resolution is actually even better since we'll be getting more performance and battery life (relatively). Anyway, this SoC (Exynos 5430) should be a bit faster than the Note 3's, so things should be more zippy at that resolution and all games will most definitely play at 60fps.
The only two downsides of the phone, I believe, are the exclusion of the usual SD card slot and the relatively smaller battery. The battery thing "should?" be understandable given the size and slimness of the device, and the processor should be more efficient since it doesn't need to ramp up its speed for trivial tasks (as it would on a 1080p+ resolution)... But hey, it comes with 32GB standard storage, which is obviously a good thing. Everything spec about this phone is at least better/much better than the iPhone 5S, so why would anyone call it mid-range?
These are all speculations, we'll have to see real world numbers. And Samsung AMOLED screens are getting better and better with each iteration. Reply
Gich - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkMid-range doesn't mean is shit, just that are higher spec available... Reply
lilmoe - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkWell yea, there's always "better specs" available. What matters is the "right specs" on a specific device IMHO. The only thing you're probably referring to is the screen, which on the contrary, I believe is a good thing (I seriously hope the GS6 doesn't go over 1080p for its display). Like I said, the only downside is the size of the battery (not the battery life per say, since we don't have the numbers yet), and the omission of the SD card slot... A slightly thicker device with a 2000-2200 mah battery would have been a better deal, but would have probably made it look a bit bulky looking with that metal trim. Reply
robertkoa - Tuesday, August 19, 2014 - linkThe HTC One M8 is 40% thicker Device and most love how it looks.
Having a super thin Device is very over rated IMO- especially when it limits battery size, removes SD Card.
AND the Camera protrudes UP above backplate anyway....
9 or 10 mm thick and limitations go away.
Next Big Thing - pixel density controlled at Menu, Ultra High Density for Media, High Density for Battery Life, Business etc. Reply
hlovatt - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkHow do you get every spec is better than 5S, according to AnandTech review, obviously the best, the 801 processor is no match for the 5S. Also the screen is unlikely to be as bright, the battery life is likely to be shorter, the 5S comes with bigger storage if you want, it lacks sensors and a low power data logger, and the finger print reader is poor. Therefore if it sells at the same price it is no where near as good value. Reply
steven75 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkThat was a strange comment for sure. The processor certainly isn't better than the year-old 5S. It's likely the camera isn't either. Reply
TETRONG - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkNot to mention that Samsung has absolutely zero shame. I mean look at that picture - it's an exact copy of the design Apple has been selling for two years.
It's undeniable at this point.. way too close for comfort. Reply
identity - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkApples been making 4.7 phones the entire time? Tell me more... Reply

TETRONG - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkThat design is Apple - You don't even have to squint to see it.
Apple are free to make their devices in whatever size the market desires.
What Samsung is doing here is simply shameful.. you can't just straight up copy somebody elses entire product. There are laws against that for a reason.
No honor whatsoever..they should be ashamed of themselves and people who buy these devices are contributing to this dishonorable practice. Reply
Nagorak - Thursday, August 14, 2014 - linkSeriously? It's a rectangular phone. My mid-range LG looks almost exactly the same as it. All of these phones end up looking very similar. It was absurd when Apple was trying to win infringement claims based on their appearance.
What makes this phone different is that when you turn it on it's got Android instead of iOS. The software side is a big enough distinction between products.
For what it's worth I own a fair amount of APPL stock, so I have plenty of reason to be biased in favor of them, but I can't get worked up about this. At this point most phones look close to identical. Reply
lilmoe - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - link- Using a *browser benchmark* for measuring CPU performance is... well, uninformed. Sorry. Especially cross platform. You use these benchmarks to test the performance of multiple browsers on the same device. That was their initial purpose when they debuted back during Chrome's launch, and still is. There isn't a universal mobile benchmark for CPUs as of today, and Geekbench's results are just questionable.
- Mali GPUs are optimized for OpenGL ES 2.0 and other specific extensions, and generally perform better than any other at that intended area (ARM was criticized for their lack of driver optimization for OpenGL 3.0, but they make it a point that 90%+ of mobile games are optimized for OpenGL ES 2.0 first and foremost as of 2014). You can watch the entire interview with their GPU design chief here on this site.
- CPU performance != platform performance. It's true that the end experience is what generally counts, but vertical integration here is a huge factor (credit for Apple). I've been criticized before for saying that Android is crippling all these powerful new SoCs because of all the overhead and strain that comes along with its VM. "Specialists" said that there shouldn't be any overhead whatsoever. Well guess what, It turns out that I was right, and Delvic (for starters) will soon be replaced by a ART, and current Android hardware should now score anywhere from 30-100% faster at same benchmarks that argued that Apple's Ax processors are faster... It's also a fact that Android graphics and touch drivers aren't as robust as they should be.
- Camera on the iPhone 5S better? Well, that's yet to be seen, but it's generally accepted that Galaxy cameras are better than iPhone cameras (well at least outside the "tech" world).
- Fingerprint scanner is debatable. But I generally prefer Apple's implementation.
- Screens are a matter of taste, and I prefer AMOLED over LCD any day. I love what Samsung's been doing with their AMOLEDs lately, and on auto-brightness, they can get just as bright (probably brighter?) than iPhone screens.
Anyway, this isn't my next device whatsoever, and it sure is confusing why Samsung would debut such a design as an entirely new model. But I like what Samsung did here, and I hope it only gets better with time. So yea, I don't believe this Alpha is a midrange device whatsoever. Reply
soccerballtux - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkno, definitely not accepted that Galaxy cameras better than iPhone. Reply
melgross - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkI don't know what you mean when you say "out of the tech world". But a better camera than the 5S? No. Every review shows the opposite. As we should know by now, more pixels doesn't make a better image by itself.
Even this AMOLED screen isn't as bright as the average LCD screen. Reply
bigstrudel - Sunday, August 17, 2014 - linkAuto-focus speed and low light performance is not up to par compared to the 5S. More megapixels is great if you want to print 8 x 10's. Otherwise, its hardly what matters. Reply
lilmoe - Friday, August 15, 2014 - linkI was playing around with Sunspider on my laptop (the one Anandtech uses for measure "CPU performance"), because I recently downloaded the 64bit version of Chrome. Here are the results:
Two browsers, two vastly different results (IE being ~1.8x faster) in this particular benchmark. Browsers tests are NOT good metrics in comparing different CPU speeds, especially when the OS AND the browsers are different. They might be of somewhat relative usefulness in measuring CPU speed if you're comparing two Android phones, running the same version of Android and the same browser. But the primary function of these tests is to benchmark the browsers themselves, not a platform.
It would be nice if Anandtech stops using those metrics in comparing CPUs from different platforms. It's creating a LOT of confusion.
My specs: Core i7 4702MQ, 16GB RAM (LPDDR3), Samsung 840 Pro SSD (not that the SSD matters here). Reply
erikiksaz - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkApparently the screen is a pentile arrangement. Junk. Reply
bigstrudel - Sunday, August 17, 2014 - link5430 is built at 20nm. Which means its 30% more efficient to start with already. Reply
robertkoa - Tuesday, August 19, 2014 - linkI agree with most of this.
Benchmarks are fast with Alpha-and I really like the size of the Device screen is nice , practical NOT super spec (which slows performance to have high pixel Density).
Where this Alpha Design frustrates me is with a 2 or 3 mm thicker Device, we could have 2500Mah battery, SD Card AND the Camera on back could be flush instead of protruding up from back of Phone !
So I am lobbying for Alpha Pro same size but thicker and with extra features and a few in common with Note 4, S5, .
Alpha Pro- for Professionals who need Pocket Power. Reply

Lonyo - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkAt least you can switch out the battery so it's not a total loss. Small and non-replaceable battery really would be quite bad.
Of course, it means having a spare battery somewhere around, but if you're away for long enough to think you might need one, you probably have somewhere to put one anyway.
Less ideal than just having a bigger battery (and being able to change it) but better than a small and non-replaceable battery. Reply
steven75 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkBut is it better than an external battery pack that can be charged simultaneously, run multiple devices simultaneously, and doesn't require powering down? I'm not sure about that... Reply
londedoganet - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkIf only they would produce a charger that can charge both the phone and the spare battery simultaneously. Reply
melgross - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkHah! My old Samsung i300 and i330 phones had a charger that had two slots. The front one for the phone with battery, and a rear slot for the extra battery. This was the first color Palmphone. The standard battery was pretty useless, giving about two hours on a charge, but the heavy duty one that also came with it gave about three and a half hours. That was without using data services, which used a very slow version of edge. It used to take a good five minutes to download what was called a mobile web page. Just the name of the site, and some folders with names of articles.
A full 4MB RAM! Don't remember what the storage number was. You really had to whack the screen with the stylus. Handwriting recognition was done below the usable portion of the screen. A full 160x160 Rez with 256 colors. No upgradable OS. Buggy programs (yeah, we were still calling them that) that were a pain to buy and load, and that cost an average of $20 for anything half serious.
Boy, those were the days! Reply
robertkoa - Tuesday, August 19, 2014 - linkLonyo-good points on battery.
But I would rather have a thicker
Alpha Pro (hopefully) to address this in near future...

phoenix_rizzen - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkAt least with a removable battery there's the possibility that someone will sell an "extended" battery+back case for it. With a built-in battery, you're stuck with whatever shipped with the phone.
This is basically an upgraded Nexus4/Optimus G. Same size screen, same resolution, better SoC, better baseband/modem. Will be interesting to see how it performs compared to the Nexus4/Optimus G, and even the Nexus5/G2.
It's about time someone paired an upgraded SoC (S801 with Adreno 330) with a lower-resolution (720p) display. This thing should fly through graphics benchmarks and games. Reply
jbwhite99 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - linkReading this article, and the one last week on the Lenovo Vibe Z2 - it is easy to figure out which phone I would rather have (come on Lenovo, get a deal worked out with Motorola and bring them here!) Metal case, 4x the resolution of this phone, light weight, and 4000 MaH battery.
All I can hope for on this phone is a snarky Samsung ad poking fun at all of the iPhonies waiting in line for the new, bigger iPhone. Perhaps the barista will be back. I will admint that I carry a GS4, but I won't be back for a GS6 in 15 months unless it is knock your socks off. Reply

devashish90 - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 - link1. The Exynos 5430 SoC, is probably built on a 20nm process(the first one for an mobile AP AFAICS). This roughly amounts to a ~25% better power efficiency, and delivering better performance as well.
2. 26% less pixels to power when compared to full HD S5.
3. Combine points 1 and 2, Galaxy Alpha is set to be roughly 38% less power hungry than S5, so it needs a 1700mah battery to be alive for the same time a Galaxy S5 does with a 2800 mah battery.
So, actually, Samsung have made this device to last presumably longer than an Exynos Galaxy S5. Even Snapdragon 805 is still on 28nm die. Reply

About the Book
This book will be limited to 100 physical copies, though it will still be orderable as an eBook after the physical copies are sold out. Your copy will be signed by me as soon as we meet up, or you can order it through me directly via email at firstname.lastname@example.com, and I'll sign it and send it to you!
A collection of views, interpretations and downright alterations of the most intimate art in modern history - the automobile.
Which exact car is represented in each image is occasionally obvious, often impossible. Though it's fun to speculate, the real purpose is in seeing things that aren't normally seen, and in the angles you remember from your mind, that you don't normally see in photographs.
This is part of a continuing journey of discovery, one punctuated by flashes of newness, even in the face of seeing the same type of car. What each owner does with their car, how it's presented, the time of day, the surroundings, and even random chance, change he visual triggers that make us see certain features.
This newness is the magic! It's what makes junkyards, car shows, and even parking lots worth seeing again and again.
Look for the unusual in your travels with the automobile. Every new day, new places and new experiences will give you a fresh perspective on the device you spend so much time in.
This collection is part of that unusual perspective.
About the Creator
Craig Patterson is an award-winning photographer with extensive experience shooting a wide variety of subjects of concern to Baby Boomers. Unlike other photographers, each of the works he creates is limited to one original piece, printed on aluminum. Limited edition prints of that work may exist, much like prints of traditional works of art, but there is only one original, which is signed and numbered "1/1." For Craig's automotive work, he tries to bring out something in the car that people don't think they're seeing; a beauty that helps define the car, but isn't inherently obvious. Sometimes it's a curve, or a stance, or even a flaw that others might try to hide. Whatever it is that creates the beauty of the automobile, that's what he draws from. Every car is not a single work, but the result of thousands of individual curves and details. Those are what are important to Craig.
