Blogger's Note: I told you to follow me on Twitter, but since you didn't, here's a summary of my fabulous adventure with Glenn Beck and his aptly named American Revival at the UCF Arena (top) in Orlando on Saturday. There'll be a more fleshed-out version in tomorrow's Daily News!
UPDATE: Here's the Daily News article, which has a lively discussion section of its own.
Glenn Beck came to Orlando this weekend and staged a day-long American Revival for 8,000 die-hard fanatics that was intended to focus on the themes of "faith, hope, and charity" but made clear that the right-wing media icon's upcoming much-ballyhooed plan for America involves something else: Pain.
The Fox News Channel host - who's called his American Revival tour a run-up to a massive rally at the Lincoln Memorial in August and a book with a "100-year plan" for the nation this fall - told the nearly sold-out University of Central Florida basketball arena that in about two weeks he'll unveil an expert-devised "budget for the United States of America."
And that plan, Beck added, would have two major components, starting with what he admitted would be a "massive" cut in federal spending, on the order of 40-50 percent. But while most conservative political chatter since the start of the Obama administration has focused on deficit reduction, Beck said the flip side of his scheme would be large-scale tax reductions to a rate of about 12 percent - which he claimed would encourage investment and growth.
"We're going to develop the way out for the United States of America," Beck said to loud whoops. "Before you clap, realize that I'm going to piss of almost every single person in America. Because we can't afford all the stuff and that means all of us are going to lose something that we love."
The fact that a talk-show host is unveiling his own budget proposal is quite a commentary on the state of conservative politics in 2010 -- and it wasn't the only news that Beck made at the seven-hour arena event, where the self-proclaimed "Howard Beale" wannabe wept on several occasions and repeatedly called for injecting God into the political arena.
Frequently accused of relying on apocalyptic fear-mongering to build ratings and get attention, Beck provided details of the fictional political thriller that he's planning to publish in June -- called The Overton Window, according to online catalogue listings -- that will do little to dispel those complaints, as the tome will portray America sliding into a civil war.
"It's a story of America at time much like today where the people are confused and they're being lied to and they're not sure what's right-side-up and upside-down," Beck said. "And there's one part...there's a group of people that plays a role called the Founders Keepers...This leads to a battle and a civil war, and life is upside down planet-wide. There's a group of people that just won't give up."
On Saturday, Beck continued to weave his characteristic apocalyptic warnings in between a series of self-help-flavored anecdotes and repeated appeals to religious faith.
"If we don't face the truth right now, we'll be dead in five years -- this country can't survive," he said at one point. During his keynote speech, Beck also advised his fans to stockpile food. "I am incredibly prepared," he said.
The audience was typical of a large Beck fan gathering -- predominantly over 50 and white and heavy on retirees, the jobless and military veterans, or the kind of people who now often receive government benefits like Medicare or unemployment checks that would likely get hammered if policymakers actually listened to Beck's budget scheme. In an odd appeal to the heavily middle-class gathering -- many of whom spent $120 for lower-level seats -- the FNC host confided that some of his fiscal ideas come with conversations with friends who are billionaires.
Said Beck in explaining the rationale for massive tax cuts on top of spending reductions:
What's happening right now at the global level is I have friends who are billionaires who say I don't know what to do with their money to preserve the wealth. 'I don't know what to do with it. Do I buy gold or do I not buy gold? Do I buy inflation protected treasury bonds?' These are people who deal in billions of dollars and they have no idea.... There are billions and billions and billions of dollars looking for the answer. The answer is and always has been America, but we have to convince them and the rest of the world that we're serious about our debt and spitting ourselves out of this system.
Clearly stung by a wave of accusations that right-wing radio and Fox News are ginning up death threats and potential violence against members of Congress and progressives, Beck also expanded on a new theme that resistance to what he claims is growing socialism in America must be non-violent -- again invoking Gandhi as well as Martin Luther King.
"Get God on your side, and then pick up a hammer," Beck said. Quoting Gandhi, he took the hammer to an anvil onstage and said "with non-violence, take your hammer and POUND that truth every day and everything that doesn't fit, toss it out! We have the truth...[W]ith non-violence, be the anvil of truth every single day!"
Most of the attendees were eager to voice their resentments at the portrayal of Beck fans as either racist or as capable of violence -- but many of them clearly feel rage toward the Obama administration.
Perhaps none more so than 71-year-old Phillis Kluft, who raised four kids as a single mom in East Haven, Connecticut, and moved six years ago to The Villages, Fla., a retiree-laden epicenter of Beckmania where she now is a leader of the Tri-County Tea Party of Florida. Kluft said she believes that supporters of President Barack Obama want Washington are mainly seeking handouts.
"I saved money for my old age and didn't go on a vacation or buy a new car," she said, her voice rising in intensity. "It really galls me that these people sit on their ass and expect other people to take care of them!," the grandmother said, then adding to whoops of approval in Section 107, "I am so disgusted with this Obama bulls---!"
Indeed, much of Beck's American Revival was just plain revival, with Beck playing the role of Billy Graham or the fictional Elmer Gantry, depending on your view of the divisive political entertainer.
"Faith gives us an opportunity to start all over again," said Beck, who at one point spoke sprawled out on the floor of the stage, reenacting his lowest moment with the bottle. Before the lunch break, a fan -- later reported to be OK -- in the upper deck fell and required medical attention, and as doctors in the house raced to the spot, Beck and economic commentator David Buckner led the throng in a softly sung "Amazing Grace." It was a moment he reenacted when he took the stage for his keynote, choking back copious tears as he said, "I love you guys."

Support in Communities
For many years the SISK Group have played an important, but low profile, role on matters of social responsibility. The most notable example in recent years is our volunteering programme which was launched as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations in 2009. Nearly 400 employees volunteered their time to work on projects in their local communities and abroad to help the lives of those who are less privileged.
The Community Volunteering Programme continues to make an impact in the communities we work in and the structures put in place through the Anniversary year programme are enabling business as usual to be carried on whilst also keeping the spirit of the programme alive.
This programme enables the company to use the skills and experience from across the organisation to benefit our partnering community organisations and to provide our employees with the opportunity to reach out to the communities we work in.
The cross company working group continue to meet on a regular basis to co-ordinate the programme. Projects are being managed locally within each company through their volunteer coordinator.

coastal plain | bar-built | deltas | tectonic | fjords
Deltas form at the mouths of large rivers, when sediments and silt accumulate rather than being washed away by currents or ocean waves. Over time, a complex set of channels, sand barriers and marshes form at the mouth of the river. As sediments continue to accumulate, the course of the river may even be changed. The name delta comes from the resemblance of the triangular fan-shaped mouth of the famous Nile River Delta to the Greek letter delta (Δ).
Bar-built estuaries and deltas both have large deposits of silt, mud and sand near their mouths, but the processes forming each of these estuaries are quite different. In deltas, sediments are carried downstream and deposited at the mouth of the river. Bar-built estuaries are formed by ocean waves and currents pushing sediments shoreward, building up sandbars and forming barrier islands (Ross, 1995; Sumich, 1996).
The image below is the Mississippi Delta as viewed from space. The city of New Orleans is in the center left-hand side of the image. The massive deposits of sand and silt that make up the delta appear light tan in color, surrounding the peninsula. (Photo: Weeks Bay NEERS site)

Madrid World Cup
World Cup coverage sponsored by Vélirium 2004 and ORYX
The big news today is that world champion Sabine Spitz will not be racing in Madrid. According to her team manager Ralf Schaeuble, Spitz became ill a couple of days ago, and developed a fever. Spitz also needs one more qualification to make the German Olympic squad (she recently won the German championship to meet the first part of the German process), so this will put more pressure on her for future races. She is expected to be back racing by Houffalize next week.
Today (Saturday) it rained all morning during training, making the course extremely greasy, and some of the steeper climbs unridable, according to Rocky Mountain team manager Lesley Tomlinson, who was out training with her star rider Alison Sydor. The rain stopped in the early afternoon, and the sun came out, so if it stays this way (the forecast is for good weather), then things should dry up fairly well for tomorrow. We will not know how many laps until after the manager's meeting in about 90 minutes.
In other rider news - Ryder Hesjedal (Subaru-Gary Fisher) has been sick for the last couple of weeks, but will race.
Registration closed earlier today, and final start lists are now out. The men have a huge field of 187 riders. The plan not to have a qualification race today was obviously not a good one... For the women, there are 82 riders listed (including Spitz).
In the Junior and Masters races today, there was one Canadian competitor - Steve Cote, who finished second in the Masters 30+ category.

What is the most important information I should know about alprazolam?
You should not use this medicine if you have narrow-angle glaucoma, if you also take itraconazole or ketoconazole, or if you are allergic to alprazolam or similar medicines (Valium, Ativan, Tranxene, and others).
Do not use alprazolam if you are pregnant. This medicine can cause birth defects or life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in a newborn.
Alprazolam may be habit-forming. Misuse of habit-forming medicine can cause addiction, overdose, or death.
What is alprazolam?
Alprazolam is a benzodiazepine (ben-zoe-dye-AZE-eh-peen). Alprazolam affects chemicals in the brain that may be unbalanced in people with anxiety.
Alprazolam is used to treat anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and anxiety caused by depression.
Alprazolam may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking alprazolam?
It is dangerous to purchase alprazolam on the Internet or from vendors outside the United States. Medications distributed from Internet sales may contain dangerous ingredients, or may not be distributed by a licensed pharmacy. The sale and distribution of alprazolam outside the U.S. does not comply with the regulations of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the safe use of this medication.
You should not take alprazolam if you have:
- narrow-angle glaucoma;
- if you are also taking itraconazole or ketoconazole; or
- if you are allergic to alprazolam or to other benzodiazepines, such as chlordiazepoxide (Librium), clorazepate (Tranxene), diazepam (Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), or oxazepam (Serax).
To make sure alprazolam is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
- seizures or epilepsy;
- kidney or liver disease (especially alcoholic liver disease);
- asthma or other breathing disorder;
- open-angle glaucoma;
- a history of depression or suicidal thoughts or behavior;
- a history of drug or alcohol addiction; or
- if you also use a narcotic (opioid) medication.
Do not use alprazolam if you are pregnant. This medicine can cause birth defects. Your baby could also become dependent on the drug. This can cause life-threatening withdrawal symptoms in the baby after it is born. Babies born dependent on habit-forming medicine may need medical treatment for several weeks. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Use effective birth control to prevent pregnancy while you are taking alprazolam.
Alprazolam can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. You should not breast-feed while you are using alprazolam.
The sedative effects of alprazolam may last longer in older adults. Accidental falls are common in elderly patients who take benzodiazepines. Use caution to avoid falling or accidental injury while you are taking alprazolam.
Alprazolam is not approved for use by anyone younger than 18 years old.
How should I take alprazolam?
Follow all directions on your prescription label. Never use alprazolam in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in treating your symptoms.
Alprazolam may be habit-forming. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
Misuse of habit-forming medicine can cause addiction, overdose, or death. Selling or giving away this medicine is against the law.
Do not swallow the orally disintegrating tablet whole. Allow it to dissolve in your mouth without chewing.
Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole.
Measure liquid medicine with the dosing syringe provided, or with a special dose-measuring spoon or medicine cup. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist for one.
Call your doctor if this medicine seems to stop working as well in treating your panic or anxiety symptoms.
Do not stop using alprazolam suddenly, or you could have unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how to safely stop using alprazolam.
If you use this medicine long-term, you may need frequent medical tests.
Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
Keep track of the amount of medicine used from each new bottle. Alprazolam is a drug of abuse and you should be aware if anyone is using your medicine improperly or without a prescription.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An overdose of alprazolam can be fatal. Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, confusion, muscle weakness, loss of balance or coordination, feeling light-headed, and fainting.
What should I avoid while taking alprazolam?
Alprazolam may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.
Avoid drinking alcohol. Dangerous side effects could occur.
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may interact with alprazolam and lead to unwanted side effects. Discuss the use of grapefruit products with your doctor.
What are the possible side effects of alprazolam?
Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have:
- depressed mood, thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself;
- racing thoughts, increased energy, unusual risk-taking behavior;
- confusion, agitation, hostility, hallucinations;
- uncontrolled muscle movements, tremor, seizure (convulsions); or
- pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest.
Common side effects may include:
- drowsiness, feeling tired;
- slurred speech, lack of balance or coordination;
- memory problems; or
- feeling anxious early in the morning.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
What other drugs will affect alprazolam?
Taking alprazolam with other drugs that make you sleepy or slow your breathing can cause dangerous side effects or death. Ask your doctor before taking a sleeping pill, narcotic pain medicine, prescription cough medicine, a muscle relaxer, or medicine for anxiety, depression, or seizures.
Tell your doctor about all your current medicines and any you start or stop using, especially:
- cimetidine;
- digoxin;
- fluvoxamine;
- nefazodone;
- ritonavir or other medicines to treat HIV or AIDS; or
- antifungal medicine --fluconazole, voriconazole.
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact with alprazolam, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products. Not all possible interactions are listed in this medication guide.

Rabbits, Rabbits and More Rabbits!
We have been jumping into the whole rabbit farm thing over the last several months. This week we built yet another double decker hutch, which holds 6 cages. When we have the rabbitry just like we like it, we will have 4 of these banks inside, for a total of 24 holes. I will probably keep one hutch of 3 holes outside as well. Last Saturday, we packed up 22 rabbits (see picture to left) and headed to Charleston for the Sustainability Fair put on by the local Habitat for Humanity Restore. We had a great time, and got to talk to a lot of people. I sold 6 rabbits at the fair, and have had another call to buy a rabbit this week. I hope we made some contacts that will be ready to buy some of the rabbits, and some others looking to purchase manure for fertilizer. Maybe we will open up a market for people looking for rabbits!
Right now, we have 2 litters that are weaned, and 2 litters that are not weaned. I also re-bred 3 does yesterday, and will probably re-breed another today or tomorrow. In about a month, we will have more bunnies than we know what to do with! But, that will be good, as our stock in the freezer has been seriously depleted by not having many litters through the winter.
We are also going to start trying to tan our own hides and (hopefully) sell them. I got a tip from a fellow breeder, suggesting two tanning solutions. The first, DixieTan Paste, is made into a paste, and then put on the hides. This one smells like Sassafras, so I'm really looking forward to trying it. The second is called Johnny Thorpe's Indian Tan. This is mixed with water in a bucket, and the hides are soaked in it. I'm going to give them both a shot, and see which one works the best for us. I ordered my supplies from F&T Fur Harvester's Trading Post. If you need any kind of supplies for tanning, I recommend them. They shipped the order very quickly, and were very courteous in their communications. Who could ask for more? I will certainly be using them again for my supplies. They also had the cheapest rates of any suppliers that I could find.
We have expanded into Rex rabbits, which if you have never felt, are much like velvet. They have a short coat, which stands upright, and is very soft. Most people, when they feel them the first time, are amazed at how soft they feel. These rabbits make great garments, and blankets or throws. If all works out well, we hope to fashion some of these pelts into usable goods. Who knows, if we get good at this, we might just expand into doing some of our deer hides next year!
I am going to have to "thin the herd" in the rabbitry soon, so I will try to post about how the tanning procedure works. When I get a surplus, I might even put a few on here…

text: If a rock-bottom price is important this Father's Day but he wants a full-size model, consider the Brinkmann 4-Burner Gas Grill ($200). It comes with few cooking instructions, so Dad may want to pick up a cookbook, and he'll need to monitor foods carefully to get even results and prevent flare-ups. But this grill is easy to use and clean and comes with a side burner, a nice extra for the price. (brinkmann.net)

The data was gathered in the first European survey by the Korn/Ferry Institute, which researches talent and leadership and runs a similar study in the US.
The report surveyed CCOs from the top 300 European companies in ten European countries: Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK.
While the European survey asked which areas had been added to CCOs' mandates, it did not probe whether their mandate already included social media, which would suggest that much more than 57 per cent are responsible for it.
Korn/Ferry claimed that a stronger embrace of social media by CCOs is a global trend – its US study shows that 67 per cent have had social media added to their remit in the past two years – and they are using it proactively to position their organisations in a positive light and as a tool of engagement.
European CCOs were also quizzed on their base salaries, which covered a wide range from €100,000 to €625,000.
The median base salary was between €275,000 and €300,000, while 78 per cent of respondents said they received annual equity as part of their compensation packages.
The majority of European CCOs (72 per cent) report to the CEO of their company. This is in contrast to their American counterparts, of whom 43 per cent said they reported to the CEO in Korn/Ferry's 2012 US study.

3 stars (out of 4)
Jimmie Vaughan's late, younger brother Stevie Ray Vaughan cut a wide swath with his expansive style and blues-drenched attack. Jimmie Vaughan, in contrast, is all about taut, wiry economy. Virtually everything he's recorded has been informed by restraint and a wide-ranging taste in blues, R&B and early country.
"Plays More Blues, Ballads & Favorites" (Shout Factory) is the quick follow-up to last year's fine "Blues, Ballads & Favorites." Like its predecessor, it focuses on relatively obscure decades-old tracks associated with artists ranging from Jivin' Gene and Annie Laurie to Ray Charles and Hank Williams Sr.
Vaughan invests them with renewed vitality, leading a hard-charging combo through live-in-the-studio takes that swing rather than smash. The drums slide just behind the beat, horns dart and dash, and Vaughan chooses his spots like the seasoned guitarist he is – his solos and fills are models of waste-free incisiveness. He packs a lot of excitement into small spaces, an integral ensemble player rather than a show-off soloist. Vaughan's to-the-point vocals serve the songs well, but he hands the microphone to his fellow Austin, Texas, artist Lou Ann Barton on three tracks. As with everything in his career, Vaughan is glad to share. Just don't mistake that self-effacing style as a lack of talent. On the contrary, Vaughan's ability to choose his spots, let the groove ride, and play well with his friends is a kind of greatness all its own.

Pipeline Perspectives: Smith to be top thief in Minors
San Diego outfielder in a class of his own when it comes to speed on the basepaths
There's a good amount of subjectivity regarding baseball prospects. With the evaluation of talent being in the eye of the beholder, finding consensus is often difficult. Even Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo of MLBPipeline.com don't always see eye to eye. They discuss their viewpoints regularly in a feature called Pipeline Perspectives. Submit a topic for them to debate.
The Padres got more speed than any other club out of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft.
They spent their first two selections on pitchers; Max Fried at No. 7 overall in the first round and Zach Eflin at No. 33 in the supplemental first. With their next sandwich pick, they grabbed Stony Brook outfielder Travis Jankowski, whose speed grades as a 70 on the 20-80 scouting scale. In the eighth round, they got someone just as quick in Kentucky outfielder Brian Adams, who also doubled as a wide receiver for the Wildcats.
In his first full pro season, Jankowski topped the high Class A California League with 71 stolen bases, ranking fifth in the Minor Leagues. Yet neither he nor Adams is the fastest player whom San Diego drafted in 2012.
Instead, that distinction belongs to outfielder Mallex Smith, a fifth-round pick from Santa Fe (Fla.) Junior College. Smith, whose speed rates as an 80, also won a stolen-base title in his first full pro season. He paced the low Class A Midwest League with 64 swipes, tying him for eighth in the Minors.
I forecast even greater heights for Smith in 2014. He's my choice to lead the entire Minors in steals this season.
Smith has all of the attributes necessary to run wild on the basepaths. He has the speed, and he has the know-how, as he has succeeded on 80 percent of his pro attempts. By point of comparison, the otherworldly Billy Hamilton was safe on 82 percent of his steal tries in the Minors.
Smith's on-base ability is equally important. He posted a .367 OBP in 2013, no small feat for a 20-year-old getting acclimated to pro ball in one of the more pitcher-friendly leagues around. At 5-foot-9 and 155 pounds, Smith understands that his role is to be a tablesetter, not a slugger, so he focuses at working counts and putting the ball in play on the ground.
Smith showed the ability to make adjustments in the Midwest League last year, improving his OBP from .350 in the first half of the season to .381 after the All-Star break. Not coincidentally, his steals also rose from .49 per game to .66 per game. Both of those numbers should continue to trend upward in 2014.
Because the Padres have a logjam of outfielders ready for high Class A, and Smith won't turn 21 until May, he'll open this season back in the MWL. Players repeating levels tend to fare better the second time around. And when San Diego finds room for him in the Cal League, he'll benefit from one of the friendliest hitting environments in the Minors.
Another factor that plays in Smith's favor is that he'll spend all or most of this season in Class A. The previous eight Minor League stolen-base kings -- Micah Johnson, Hamilton (twice), Delvi Cid, Anthony Gose, Everth Cabrera, Ovandy Suero, Eric Young -- all did the same. In the last 23 seasons, only Todd Donovan (2005) won a stolen-base crown while in the upper Minors.
For that reason, I'm not betting on Johnson to repeat. That's also why I'm not going with Jankowski, Mayo's choice, even though he had more steals than Smith last year and is a better overall prospect. The same is true of Athletics outfielder Billy Burns.
None of them can match Smith's combination of tools, skills and 2014 destination. Neither can anyone else. That's why Smith will lead the Minors in steals this season.

Just a few years ago, Apple and Google were the darling couple of the technology industry, with Apple igniting a revolution in smartphone design and Google showing the power of its Web-based services transitioned to the mobile realm. However, with Apple's forthcoming iOS 6 and Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, Apple is continuing to erode Google's presence in its desktop and (particularly) mobile operating systems, rolling out its own cloud services, search, and now mapping technologies that Apple wants to not only replace Google's technology, but outshine it too.
How is Apple cutting Google out of its ecosystem, where did the rancor come from, and who has the most to lose: Apple, for not including Google's widely used and (arguably) best-in-class services, or Google, for being cut out of one of the most visible (and most lucrative) platforms in the industry?
Siri, Maps, and iOS 6
Apple's public assault on Google began in earnest in iOS 5 with two key technologies. The first is the very visible Siri voice-activated personal assistant that Apple unveiled with the iPhone 4S — for many people it's the sole feature that distinguishes the iPhone 4S from its predecessors. However, the second was that Apple rolled its own geocoder into iOS 5. Briefly, a geocoder is a service that translates the location data supplied by GPS (and, sometimes, augmented by Wi-Fi or cell tower data) to a usable street address. Neither technology totally slammed the door for Google on iOS, but — like the sword of Damocles — they should have made Google sweat.
Siri is a threat to Google because it inserts itself between iPhone users and their mobile searches — and, if it's effective enough, it can become the preferred method for conducting searches with an iOS device. Siri doesn't just use speech recognition technology to understand what people say and translate it into a Web search — whether powered by Google, Bing, or another search engine. When possible, Siri tries to answer users queries directly. Of course, behind the scenes, Siri is tapping into semantic search technologies powered by the likes of Wolfram Alpha (for facts and figures) and Yelp (for location-based information). The bottom line: Any question Siri can answer successfully without resorting to a Web search is a search query that Google (or another search engine) does not receive. With iOS 6, Apple is bringing Siri to the iPad 2 — which means even more searches diverted from Google.
Prior to iOS 5, Apple had been relying on Google's geocoding service to turn a location into a street address. With iOS 5 Apple quietly switched to its own geocoder, and introduced an API so iOS application developers could use location services in their own apps — again, without having to go through Google. As Apple (and iOS developers) increasingly rely on that API, that means Apple mobile users are passing less and less location data to Google.
With iOS 6, Apple is taking the next step by introducing its own Maps service. Apple's Maps will replace Google Maps on the home screen of iOS devices. Users will, of course, still be able to download a separate Google Maps app and tie that in to their Google accounts all they like — but Google Maps won't be there by default. Some users will likely still prefer Google Maps. For instance, Apple's Maps will only offer turn-by-turn directions on the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2 — anyone buying or upgrading to iOS 6 on an older device won't get that feature, or the very-cool flyover feature that supplies aerial views of locations. (And the original iPad? It won't be getting iOS 6 at all.) But soon after iOS 6 ships, Google Maps will start losing its plum position as the default supplier of mapping and direction information for iOS users.
Facebook integration
Another potentially major feature coming to iOS 6 is Facebook integration, enabling users to share and update photos, locations, events, and contact info via Facebook without having to jump out to a separate Facebook application — much like iOS 5's integration with Twitter.
How is this a shot across Google's bow? Bluntly: it's not Google+. When consumers buy an Android device, they have no choice but to create a Google account — and Google helpfully sets up a heap of Google services (including Gmail and Google Plus) for those users. Apple does something similar with iOS. Anyone buying an iOS device needs an Apple ID, like it or not. However, where Apple does supply many services connected with an Apple ID — including Messages, Facetime, photo streams, the iTunes store, it does not run its own social-networking service. (Yes, we know there's iTunes Ping…but really.)
Apple has instead engineered its social network integration to be modular, with an eye towards expanding the functionality to new services when appropriate. (An example would be built-in support in China for Sina Weibo, Youku, and Tudou.) The iOS social networking interface, functionality, and experience are all-Apple: They just selectively tie into what Facebook and Twitter offer with virtually no branding or screen real estate that's out of Apple's control. Apple no doubt had tough negotiations with Facebook over the nature of iOS integration — especially since Apple has historically guarded its users' privacy, while Facebook notoriously tracks (and wantonly shares) anything and everything.
The fact that Facebook's and Apple's cultures don't have a great deal of philosophical overlap only highlights the significance of integrated Facebook support in iOS 6 and Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Apple's not just saying "we're not supporting Google+," it's saying, "We are supporting Google+'s biggest enemy."
It's not just Google Maps, Google's Web search, and Google+ that are being snubbed by Apple: Apple is also going its own way with email, synchronization, and cloud-based services via iCloud.
To a degree, this is historical momentum from Apple's long-standing online services and iPod empire. Apple established iTunes as the top online destination for music, then worked to extend that to television and movies. (
With iCloud — the latest generation of Apple's online offerings — Apple again made a fundamental decision not to go with Google, but to invest significant time and money into developing its own services. For Apple, doing iCloud itself is about controlling its own destiny and not letting a third party control a fundamental part of its platform. (That's actually why Apple initially banned cross-platform development tools for iPhone apps.) Almost any other hardware company would have considered implementing something like iCloud by partnering with another company (like Google) to handle the back end. Not Apple. And given Apple's recent rancor with Google, it was probably never even considered.
How does being cut out of iOS hurt Google?
Being dumped from a premiere spot on the home screen of iOS devices won't be a death-kiss for Google on iOS; rather, it represents a slow erosion of Google's role in what Apple sees as fundamental services for its devices — a role that's likely to vanish altogether, in time.
That amounts to an assault on Google's bottom line. At some point, Google is going to stop collecting fees from Apple for its use of Google Maps, but that's not where it will hurt. Most of Google's money comes from display and mobile advertising, which will feel the burn as Apple weens users off its services.
Opus Research recently estimated advertisers will spend $2.5 billion on mobile advertisements during 2012, and about a quarter of those advertisements are based on mapping or location information. (Emarketer puts its at $2.6 billion.) Advertisers love location-targeted ads — after all, there's not much point for a bike shop in Seattle to promote itself to a car driver in Miami — but a pedestrian two blocks away might be a different story.
When iOS 6.0 hits the streets, the number of map- and location-based advertisements Google can serve to iOS users is going to start declining. It won't vanish entirely, because some people won't upgrade to iOS 6.0, and others will grab the separate Google Maps app and keep doing what they've always done. Plus, Apple is going to continue to sell more iOS devices; even if Google's slice of the pie is shrinking, the pie itself is still getting larger.
Despite Android being the top-selling mobile platform on the planet, Google seems to earn the majority of its mobile advertising revenue from iOS devices. Some analyses make iOS devices worth four times as much to Google as Android-based devices. So leaving aside platforms like Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and Symbian, back-of-the-envelope math indicates the mobile advertising market will probably be worth something in the range of $800 million to Google during 2012… but only about $160 million of that will be generated from Android devices.
Losing the iOS Maps app won't turn that revenue off overnight — after all, most estimates have Google commanding about 90 percent of the mobile search market — but Google will be gathering less location-based information about iOS users — and less search information too, thanks to Siri. That, in turn, will gradually impact Google's ability to advertise to iOS users effectively. After all, the less it knows about where people are and what they search for, the less it can target ads to them. And that means Google can't command a premium from advertisers to place those ads.
Apple isn't in maps for the money
The conflict between Google and Apple highlights fundamental differences between the companies. Google's long-term plan is based on the ubiquity of its platforms and services. It wants Google search (and Google Maps, and YouTube, and everything else) to be everywhere, and its strategy with Android is based on quantity: Put as many devices into as many people's hands as possible. Google believes that, as it collects information about those millions and millions of users using its platforms and services, it can make its money selling targeted advertising to those users.
Apple's primary income is from selling hardware. Yes, Apple is in the mobile ad business to — to the tune of about $90 million in revenue during 2011. But by way of comparison, Apple had over $125 billion (yes, billion) in sales during the same calendar year.
Apple is not looking at its own Maps for iOS as a way to generate mobile advertising revenue. The amount of money it will earn from any mobile-related advertising associated with Maps will be insignificant compared to revenues from sales of iOS devices — and, likely, insignificant even in comparison to the amount of money Apple has invested in rolling its own mapping service.
For Apple, having it's own mapping service is about controlling its own destiny. And that means kicking Google out of the heart of iOS.

MintyBoost was a terrifically handy DIY USB charger, housed in an Altoids gum tin. It worked great, until Apple started changing the way it charged devices. But have no fear! The MintyBoost team is on the case.
What they found, and what's enumerated in detail in the video below, is that Apple puts unusual resistor values on USB data and power lines. The result is a sort of DRM for hardware that explains why third-party battery chargers don't always work the way they should:

Large Teak Mandir by Aarsun
Material Details: Teak has greater naturally weather-resistant properties than just about any other type of wood. When dried to a proper moisture level (around 10 percent of its original content), the oils and rubber weatherproof the wood. Teak wood is a hardwood obtained from broad-leaved deciduous trees, and it is exceptionally strong, not only when compared to softwoods but also when compared with most of the other hardwood trees.
Caring: Use a table cloth or any thick quality cotton cloth to wipe it clean. To protect it from fading, avoid keeping the product near windows where it can be exposed to direct sunlight. Do not keep warm items directly on a furniture surface.
Availability: Custom Sizes Available as per Requirement. Free Shipping Available Across India*
Note: This unit takes about 3 weeks to be manufactured and 1 week to be shipped.
Aarsun Large Teak Mandir is also available on Amazon India, Indiamart and more…

There is not much happening in terms of home decor in my house during this stage of life, but I've just recently been trying to think harder about ways to make our living space feel more polished. I've always liked the use of inspirational home decor and Bible verses in the homes of others. It just adds small reminders of truth throughout the rooms you visit everyday. When I enter the home of someone with Bible verse home decor it also helps me quickly understand their faith lies. It may even be a conversation starter. Christian Canvas Art

Lewandowski saddened by Dortmund stay
The Poland international, 24, scored 36 goals in 49 appearances for Dortmund last season, but they finished 25 points behind Bayern in the Bundesliga and were also defeated in the UEFA Champions League by their domestic rivals.
Dortmund boss Juergen Klopp has admitted his star striker is likely to move to Pep Guardiola's side on a free transfer in a year's time, but Lewandowski wanted the move to happen sooner.
"Like always, I gave it my all for BVB during the second part of last season. I played and scored, thinking I was allowed the switch in the summer," Lewandowski told Sport Bild.
"After the talks we held I was convinced I'd be allowed a free decision about my transfer. Then everything changed.
"Sadly the situation now is I have to stay here. I am surprised about their dealings, but if BVB wants to give up on a lot of money for me, I have to respect that."
Bayern are likely to still be in the hunt for striking reinforcements after selling Germany international Mario Gomez to Fiorentina.
And the 28-year-old has criticised the Bavarian club's public pursuit of Lewandowski, which Gomez claims has upset the forward ranks at the Allianz Arena.
He said: "There was not any backing for the strikers who were at the club. We were told not to dramatise things.
"That's when I said, 'I will be relaxed, let's see who answers those Lewandowski questions I get asked all the time'. Nobody did. Nobody was willing to answer two million questions about him. The other attackers in the squad were also irritated."

But she isn't cooperating. She was due today… but statistically speaking there was really only a 5% chance of that being correct. However, there is a 100% chance that she will be here in the next two weeks. If you are not in regular contact with me, ping me and I'll make sure to get keep you in the loop. It's been a long 9mo. Can't wait to reach the start/finish line.
[flv image="http://mark.denovich.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bourne_end_walk_4-23_hd.jpg"]http://mark.denovich.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/bourne_end_walk_4-23_hd.mov[/flv]
I bought a video camera last week (Canon HF100.) I'm fairly proficient with an SLR, but video is a whole new ballgame. Editing video is slow and comparatively clumsy process… (makes fast hardware seem slow, chews up disk space in a hurry, unfamiliar software, and lots of arcane options to deal with an compromises to make along the way.) So much more to deal with, so much to learn.
Deb and I took a short walk near our home in Bourne End. It was my first chance to really try out the camcorder. I dragged my Nikon D300 along to handle the still photography. Walks are now starting to seem like expeditions with all the gear.
So to the video… Shot in 1920x1080p (30fps), edited in iMovie '09, and encoded in h.264 @ 960x540p, 3200kbps (file size ~80megs)
The high quality option: Bourne End Walk 720p (It's about 500MB)
Updated my WordPress install. During the upgrade process it touched the rss feed, bringing old, moldy posts back to life.
No promises, but I may start blogging in earnest* again soon.
*(I know)
I'd probably have a lot of explaining to do…
While I'm too much of an elitist to consider myself a yinzer… I do love Pittsburgh and I'm happy to say I like this blog about Pittsburgh: http://stuffyinzerslike.com/
(I'd swear I went to high school with the guy pictured in the uppper left corner of that blog… Fred F. is that you?)
Monkey Hanger is the affectionate term by which Hartlepudlians are often known by other residents of Great Britain.
According to local folklore, during the Napoleonic wars, a French ship of the type chasse marée (literally, tide-chaser) was wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor was a monkey, wearing a French uniform (presumably to provide amusement for those onboard the ship). On finding the monkey, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial on the beach; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions, they concluded that it was a French spy. The animal was thus sentenced to death and hanged from the mast of a fishing boat on the Headland. Nowadays, many Hartlepudlians have positively embraced the term, and only a small minority still consider the term 'Monkey Hanger' offensive. It is often used to refer to supporters of Hartlepool United Football Club by supporters of their arch rivals Darlington.
In 2002, Stuart Drummond campaigned for the office of Mayor of Hartlepool in the costume of the local football team's mascot, 'H'Angus the Monkey'. He narrowly won. His election slogan had been "free bananas for schoolchildren", a promise he was unable to keep. Despite this, he stood again three years later and won with a landslide victory.
Had to drag my ass out of bed after 4 hours sleep. I was up 'til 2am installing new seats (from a 2004 Lotus Elise MKII 111s). My seats are pretty thin on padding but the new ones are a little more generous with the foam, and have perforated leather for breathability.
Sad part is: they fucking kill my back. The originals are nearly perfect, and all reports said these would be even better. I can't see the difference in shape, but it puts the pressure in just the wrong place. *sigh* Compound that with loss of time/effort/£/sleep and a horrible commute to the conference and my mood was pretty grim
Was is the operative word: I opened the conference hand out and saw on the first page, in red:
"At any point in the day, customers are welcome to go and try the F1 simulator."
Oh, did i mention that the conference is at the RBS Williams F1 factory/campus?
This realization is not new to me. In fact, it's a deliberate tactic. Buy the car… and then the fun part begins when you buy tons of new shit for said car. I first did this many years ago. A $750 Alfa Romeo eventually led to thousands of dollars of tools, a milling machine, a lathe, a mig welder, two air compressors, etc.
I'm quite happy to report that I don't use this to sneak purchases past my wife's veto. She couldn't care less. We have a tremendous amount of respect for each other. What she wants she buys, what I want I buy. We trust ourselves to be responsible. And that's where I need to employ the tactic… my personal responsibility filter is surprisingly conservative. When I begin lusting after a new toy, a part of my brain lights up and dutifully raises the red flag. That's when I mobilize the rest of my brain to rationalize those red flags away. This weekend I'm actually employing multiple tactics towards that end.
Trojan Horse tactic: Buy something which does not trigger the filter, but almost certainly will require subsequent purchases. In aggregate those purchases will certainly not pass muster… but considered individually, they sneak past.
Now or Never justification: Have some event coming up that would benefit from some new purchase. Where your responsibility filter might have let you postpone the purchase indefinitely, now you have a way to counter it. "If I'm going to buy it eventually, I might as well buy it now so I can get good use out of it." This is also handy for justifying expedited shipping.
Peanut Butter and Chocolate gambit: This takes advantage of the synergy between some goodies. This is another aggregate trick… but this time it's used to pass the responsibilty filter by stacking the deck on benefits over cost.
New crystal for my Cristal : If you buy something really nice, you can't pair it with things below it's status. A nice suit demands sharp Italian shoes, a nice Swiss watch, etc… again there is a synergistic effect between high status items. Each new addition highlights the contrast between the ok and the sublime.
The Sistine Chapel: Michelangelo didn't do a half-assed job when he painted that chapel… This looks at the synergy between various purchases from the other direction. If you are going to do it, do it right. Or to put it another way "Go balls out"
The Lexus approach: Their tagline was "The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection" It hints at the asymptotic nature of perfection. Each step closer to perfection is a smaller step, but one that requires exponentially greater effort to reach. Buy something nearly perfect, and then spend a lifetime (or a fortune) making it more nearly perfect.
(I've got more but you get the idea.)
Concrete example:
Ok… I'm going to stop there before my house of cards logic topples under its own weight. As I've said before and will now say again:
Catch me if you can…

Horror and sci-fi movie actor Richard Lynch dies
An actor who employed his scarred face to play villainous characters in such films as Bad Dreams and The Sword and the Sorcerer has died. Richard Lynch was 76.
His representative, Mike Baronas, says Lynch was found dead Tuesday at his home in Palm Springs, Calif. No other details were provided.
The actor appeared in several horror and sci-fi films in a career spanning four decades. He recently played serial killer Michael Myers' principal in director Rob Zombie's Halloween remake in 2007. His most recent role is in Zombie's upcoming film The Lords of Salem. Other movies included Scarecrow and Little Nikita. He appeared in such TV series as Battlestar Galactica, The A-Team and Six Feet Under.
Lynch reportedly suffered scarring in 1967 after accidentally setting himself on fire.

So tonight - "Get in mah belly," "Veggie Options" and I decided to have a Cinci Blog Babe Convention at Floyd's in Clifton!
Aren't we adorable? Veggie was taking the picture - she's a little camera shy...
We had all been chatting and decided to have a bloggers night out to someplace new. We wanted to try the Baltic place in Mason but it closed - so we decided to go for Floyd's.
The specialty at Floyd's is the chicken - you should actually call ahead a couple hours to
reserve your bird!
The other girls will be writing their blogs too - so I'll just enlighten you about my selections! I chose the hummus (or hommos on their menu), the spanokopita and a half chicken. I decided to try a nice variety!
The hummus was delish!!! Very tangy - definitely could taste the tahini in it. Although - I'm now partial to Sabra brand - but for a more authentic kind - it was good.
Next up the spanokopita - very good. Everything there is pre-made for the most part. They showed us all of the sides ahead of time so we could make a more informed decision. The spanokopita just looked awesome - so I decided I had to have that... It was very good - the phylo was light and crispy - the spinach & feta mixture was almost "meaty". I really liked it.
Next up with the chicken - it's spit roasted and very full of lemon & garlic. I like the flavor but it was a bit dry - which can happen with white meat chicken.
Lastly - dessert! We couldn't skip that. The girls each went with baklava - I decided on the Lebanese pancakes - two pancakes filled with creme fraiche, topped with pistachios and syrup. I have to say - it was fab-u-lous! Dipping in the clear simple syrup is essential - the rest isn't that sweet - so that's a perfect balance!
Overall - it was a great meal - my bill for 2 sodas and all of the above was $26 - but I did order 2 entrees so I wasn't surprised. The menu is a bit spotty as far as the offerings - tonight - no falafel, kibbi or any of the specials.
The company helped - we had a great time and I think this is just the first of many blogging dinners for these babes!
You might be asking - Heather - you didn't mention any beans? Your headline says birds AND beans! Well...the side they're famous for is Lima Beans. Now you're saying - I don't like lima beans! Who does? Well - let me tell you - you'll like these! They're great!
I'll give Floyd's a solid 3 star - good food - very unique and I always like when the food is unique and ethnic.
