I spent some time in Nashville talking to Van Fletcher Jake Shimabukuro's manager about the next Jake record after Nashville which was already a departure from what many uke folk might expect. Van and his wife were good enough to invite me to listen to some of the new tracks which are yet to be fully mixed and mastered. Its clear to me that Van is a 100% music lover and his basement is remarkably similar in some ways to my onw music listening room – serious high end hi fi with multi speaker set up and a collection of box sets, CDs and Vinyl that essentially tells the history of all great music.
Michael Ross who runs Guitar Moderne and who is a long time friend and our wives were in for a treat that was really quite something. I'm not going to go into detail about who is playing on the next album or the tracks, but let me say now, this is a whole new jump for ukulele playing. Like many folks I love Jake's brilliant covers of Queen and The Beatles tracks that made him so famous. When I interviewed him literally two years ago I was amazed at his diverse musical interest and I now know where a lot of this came from. The Nashville album hinted at what Jake is capable of in terms of pushing the boundaries of the uke. The next album is a whole quantum leap that I think will amaze many folks and really show just how this mighty instrument can be used in a really exciting way.
I for one really welcome these explorations which will only help show that the uke can be used for a huge range of sonic expression far beyond what many folks might imagine. Keep an eye out for Jake in 2018 and prepare for something that will really rock your musical world.

January 29, 2013 09:00 ET
BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - Jan 29, 2013) - Modernizing Medicine, the creator of the Electronic Medical Assistant™ (EMA), a cloud-based specialty-specific EMR application, announced today that in 2012 the company launched into a new market and scaled massively in existing markets, winning the business of numerous physician practices. The company also entered into agreements with several key vendors, increased its staff to triple digits and secured its largest round of funding to date.
New Products and Gain in Market Share
In October, Modernizing Medicine launched EMA Plastic Surgery™ at the American Society of Plastic Surgery's annual conference in New Orleans. The adoption rate of the already launched user-friendly and adaptive EMA Dermatology™, EMA Ophthalmology™ and EMA Optometry™ grew by over 1000%, bringing the total number of providers using EMA to over 2,000.
Modernizing Medicine won the business of numerous large physician practices, including the Beatrice Keller Clinic, a full service dermatology clinic in Arizona with three offices and 17 physicians. States Dan A. Nelson MD, Medical Director, Beatrice Keller Clinic: "We researched a number of products and chose EMA due to the ease of use, speed and quality of the medical records produced. I would say that EMA is far more Derm specific with better Derm content, a workflow that fits Derm practice better and superior graphics and photo capabilities. EMAs competitors are less interesting for exactly the inverse reasons -- the workflow is designed for more general medicine with less specificity for Derm and inferior graphics and photo capabilities."
Strategic Agreements and Endorsement
Modernizing Medicine entered into agreements with several key vendors that have added tremendous value to EMA's users. Based on Modernizing Medicine's agreement with Logical Images, EMA Dermatology users now have the option to access Logical Images' VisualDx technology, which is a comprehensive digital image library with nearly 90,000 images representing all ages and skin types. Modernizing Medicine's agreement with Sonomed Escalon will provide EMA Ophthalmology users with the option to use AXIS image management software.
Modernizing Medicine also received an endorsement from the Inga Ellzey Practice Group, the leader in dermatology coding and billing.
Corporate Growth and Looking Forward
Modernizing Medicine added 62 employees to its team in 2012, bringing the company total to 110 employees. Modernizing Medicine moved its headquarters from Boynton Beach, Florida to a larger office at the Research Park on the Florida Atlantic University campus in Boca Raton, Florida.
In 2012, Modernizing Medicine announced that it had closed a $12 million dollar capital raise, with a combination of equity capital and a senior debt bank facility, that was led by Pentland Group plc and joined by many of the company's own customers.
"What a year! I am thrilled with Modernizing Medicine's incredible growth in 2012 and could not be more proud of our amazing team," said Modernizing Medicine, co-Founder, President and CEO, Dan Cane. "From new product launches and key partnerships to unbelievable sales numbers and a strong funding round, we've done a lot this year. We are looking forward to a promising 2013 with the launch of EMA Cosmetic™, EMA Orthopedics™ and EMA Otolaryngology™."

Filming on the first film in the Dark Materials series is continuing in London. This time the crew were filming in Piccadilly Circus
The film crew were using a giant crane to lift up a camera and get the shots of Lyra's world they need for the film
And here is Lyra, although not actress Dakota Blue Richards. The green blob she's carrying will be replaced by her daemon later using computers
There were lots of extras hanging around. They give come clues as to how people in the film are going to be dressed
Not all the daemons were computer ones though. Models of the animals were used for some shots
There were carefully put into place on the London sets by people working on the film
And then they were left on their own, ready for what looks like some sort of fight. But what will happen next?

The 1980s: the beginnings of Collate
The pre-history of the Textual Communities project dates back to a time before the name 'Digital Humanities' existed: in the mid 1980s, it was called 'Humanities Computing' or 'Computing in the Humanities'. There were many fewer of us, and a high proportion of the people employed full-time around the world to do what we now call 'Digital Humanities' were to be found in a single building: the Oxford University Computing Services (OUCS) on 6 Banbury Road, Oxford. The 'high proportion' was precisely two people: Lou Burnard (then known mostly for his founding and vigorous curation of the Oxford Text Archive) and Susan Hockey (then known mostly for her writings on 'Humanities Computing'). I came to OUCS in 1985, when I had started an edition of the Old Norse narrative sequence Svipdagsmál as my doctoral thesis (supervised by the legendary Ursula Dronke, alas now passed away), found myself drowning in some 40-plus manuscripts, and thought that just maybe computers might help me. I took Susan's course in Humanities Computing and met Lou.
By 1988, I was well on with my thesis, and I had been able to use a combination of various computers (first, an Amstrad PCW 256 -- anyone reading this who recognizes that name will give a sigh of nostalgia and relief; then a series of Macintoshes, beginning with a Macintosh 512, for the 512 kilobytes of memory it had; and most of all the Oxford VAX, now also deceased) to achieve a useful collation of all these manuscripts, and then a database analysis of their relationships. For this, I wrote a crude, but effective, collation program on the Oxford VAX using SNOBOL and SPITBOL (more nostalgia, more relief). These were Susan Hockey's favourite programs, and she liked what I was doing enough to suggest I write it up into two articles, published in 1989 in Literary and LInguistic Computing, on collation and textual criticism. Many elements of this work persist into Textual Communities: thus, the making of computer-readable transcripts of original sources, encoding both details of the documents (page and line breaks, etc.) and details of the work represented in the documents (poem by poem, line by line); the use of computer programs understanding this markup to carry out precise word-by-word collations of the multiple versions; the use of yet other computer-assisted methods to explore the relations among the multiple versions.
This work seemed promising enough for Susan and I to think it worth writing a grant proposal to the Leverhulme Trust, for a 'Computers and Manuscripts' project. This got funding, for three years starting in September 1989.
1989-1997 Collate and DynaText; the Canterbury Tales
Susan Hockey and I had a simple aim for this Leverhulme project: to make it possible for other people to do, on a commonly-available personal computer, what I had been able to do with Svipdagsmál using an arcane and un-repeatable combination of computers and jury-rigged programs. In 1989, before Microsoft Windows had become stable and usable, this meant only one computer: the Macintosh. Things were different then. Everything (the program, the compiler, the operating system) had to run in four megabytes of memory. All the data, and all the applications, had to fit into the 20 megabyte hard drive I had attached to the SE-30. I still have this computer and this hard drive, and every now and then I cast them a friendly glance. Our plan was that I should write a computer program, running on the Macintosh, that would allow other people to transcribe, collate, and analyze texts. This computer program became Collate.
The shift towards a system others could use caused us to look at the way we were encoding the texts we were making. We were testing the developing collation system on two core sets of texts: the manuscripts of the Old Norse Solarljóð and of Chaucer's Wife of Bath's Prologue. Various other people approached us with their texts at this time, notably Prue Shaw with her work on Dante's Monarchia, and we realized that we needed to develop encodings capable of coping with all these. At that time, the Text Encoding Initiative was just getting started, I became closely involved in it, and hence a participant in numerous, endless (and still-continuing) conversations with many people -- most of all Lou Burnard -- about encoding systems. These had a direct influence on Collate, as it took shape. I decided not to use strict TEI-SGML encoding in the transcripts we were making, and hence have Collate natively able to recognize and compare texts so encoded. There were several reasons for this, partly the persistent (and never-solved) lack of usable SGML editors and tools, partly the resistance I found when I showed scholars texts marked up with full SGML (all these brackets!). However, I did decide to make the Collate encodings 'SGML-lite', with the aim of being able to translate all materials created by Collate to SGML.
This turned out to be a fateful decision. By 1993, we had progressed so far that we now wanted to publish what we had done. SGML and the TEI were on everyone's lips. So we became committed to translating everything into TEI/SGML, and then publishing it. It turned out that there was just one publication system which could cope with this rich diet of encoded text: the DynaText application, then published by Electronic Book Technologies, and whose architect, Steve DeRose, I had also met through the TEI (Steve was also one of the creators of XML). DynaText taught us a great deal about the potential and the limitations of electronic publishing systems, and hence contributed directly to the making of Anastasia (see below). In the short-term, however, it enabled us to publish complex and large electronic books (all published by Cambridge University Press: my edition of the Wife of Bath's Prologue, Anne McDermott's edition of Johnson's Dictionary, Jim Harner's World Shakespeare Bibliography), at a time when most other systems (particularly, those on the emergent web) could manage to publish only short and simple documents.
A second fateful event dates to these years. I had chosen the Wife of Bath's Prologue as one of our testbed texts for the development of Collate largely because I love Chaucer and the Canterbury Tales, and I thought it would be pleasant to read this text several hundred times in the course of this work. I found two things in the course of working on the Wife of Bath. Firstly, the textual tradition of the Canterbury Tales is extremely problematic, and ideally suited to the range of methods which computing made available, particularly as we discovered the power of phylogenetic tools, derived from evolutionary biology, for analysis of large textual traditions (particularly, the Nature article I wrote with Chris Howe and others). Secondly, I found two other people particularly interested in what I was trying to do with the texts of the Tales: Norman Blake and Elizabeth Solopova. Norman had written widely on the Tales and the problems of its manuscripts; Elizabeth was acutely interested in Middle English manuscripts and in the intellectual challenges of their computer representation. Elizabeth and I co-wrote the seminal "Guidelines for Transcription" which guided the first years of our work on the Tales. Several statements within it are worth quoting in full:
"In the course of our work we have come to realize that no transcription of these manuscripts into computer-readable form can ever be considered "final" or "definitive." Transcription for the computer is a fundamentally interpretative activity, composed of a series of acts of translation from one system of signs (that of the manuscript) to another (that of the computer). Accordingly, our transcripts are best judged on how useful they will be for others, rather than as an attempt to achieve a definitive transcription of these manuscripts. Will the distinctions we make in these transcripts and the information we record provide a base for workby other scholars? How might our transcripts be improved, to meet the needs of scholars now and to come?"
"Any primary textual source then has its own semiotic system within it. As an embodiment of an aspect of a living natural language, it has its own complexities and ambiguities. The computer system with which one seeks to represent this text constitutes a different semiotic system, of electronic signs and distinct logical structure. The two semiotic systems are materially distinct, in that text written by hand is not the same as the text on the computer screen. They are formally distinct, in that a manuscript may contain an unlimited variety of letter forms but a computer font ordinarily will not. They are logically distinct, in that the computer transcription will attempt to resolve ambiguities present in the natural language of the primary source (e.g. the same graph being used for distinct letters; cf. the discussion of minims below): if the transcription does not do this, it will betray its principal aim of decoding of the primary source. Transcription is both decoding and encoding; the text in the computer system will not be the same as the text of the primary source. Accordingly, transcription of a primary textual source cannot be regarded as an act of substitution, but as a series of acts of translation from one semiotic system (that of the primary source) to another semiotic system (that of the computer). Like all acts of translation, it must be seen as fundamentally incomplete and fundamentally interpretative."
The key concept here, that transcription is "a series of acts of translation from one semiotic system (that of the primary source) to another semiotic system (that of the computer)" was formulated by Elizabeth Solopova. The core of this view of transcription, as the creation of a complexly-encoded text which both represents the multiple objects the transcriber sees in the text of each transcribed page and also reflects the concerns of the encoder, is fundamental to the Textual Communities project.
And, the three of us -- myself, Norman Blake and Elizabeth Solopova -- in 1992 agreed to work together on the textual tradition of the Canterbury Tales. This became the Canterbury Tales Project.
1998-2005. Anastasia; the Greek New Testament; "fluid, co-operative and distributed" editions
DynaText proved extraordinarily powerful, in publishing the Wife of Bath's Prologue: yet there was one simple thing it could not do. It could not take a single page of our transcriptions and publish the text of that page, and that page alone, alongside the manuscript image of the page. This was the case even though we had diligently included markers for every page-break in our transcription. As every neophyte in hierarchical markup systems knows, we had hit the classic overlapping markup problem. You can encode a text according to its content by pages, or by structural elements, such as by chapter and paragraph. As soon as a paragraph spilt across a page break, you were bust. SGML had, in theory, a way you could include overlapping markup: the CONCUR feature, which I never did see implemented. XML does not have even this. We wanted to say to the program: start showing the text at the beginning of this page, go on to the end of the page, and stop. No deal. So (how hard could this be?) I set out to write a SGML/XML publication system that could do this. I also wanted to remedy some other defects in DynaText. We wanted to publish electronic books in identical form on CD-ROM and the web, from a single software base, on both PC and Macintosh computers. We wanted to show search results in KWIC (key word in context) form. We wanted to make it easier for individual scholars to publish high-quality digital editions than was then possible.
These desiderata guided the making of Anastasia. Preliminary work on Anastasia was done by John Knight, at De Montfort University, Leicester; I carried this on, with increasingly demanding parts of the programming (notably, its integration with the Apache server suite) developed by Andrew West. Anastasia was first used in the Canterbury Tales Project's publication of Estelle Stubbs' edition of the Hengwrt manuscript. We went on to publish some ten CD-ROMs and online materials using Anastasia, including such stars as Chris Given-Wilson's (and others) Parliament Rolls of Medieval England, Prue Shaw's editions of Dante's Monarchia and Commedia (the latter remains, to me, the most fully-realized born-digital scholarly edition yet created), and Jos Weitenberg's Leiden Armenian Lexical Textbase.
Anastasia, alongside Collate, also became the base of my work with the Greek New Testament, first with Klaus Wachtel and others at the Institute for New Testament Textual Research in Münster, and then with David Parker and his colleagues at the University of Birmingham. I am specially grateful to Barbara Aland, then leader of the INTF, for welcoming me to the Münster fold. The Greek New Testament work, alongside my work on the transcription of the Dante materials with Prue Shaw, was critical in developing our understanding of transcription, particularly after Barbara Bordalejo joined the Canterbury Tales and other projects from 1999 on. This led to the development of a system for encoding variant texts within manuscripts, fully deployed in Shaw's Commedia and there described by Bordalejo (Appendix C, "The Encoding System"). More significantly, this experience profoundly influenced the thinking about text in documents and in works which underlies the fundamental 'documents, entities, texts' architecture of Textual Communities. Further, In the course of many discussions with Klaus Wachtel, David Parker and others, we found ourselves constructing in our heads the ideal system for working collaboratively on making editions such as those produced by the Münster and Birmingham teams. There was a point to these speculations. The 5000 manuscripts (and counting) of the Greek New Testament meant that this was a task far too big for a single scholar, a single group, or even a partnership of groups. One would need many more people to contribute, and this would mean finding ways for this to happen. In Birmingham and Münster, this led to the Workspace for Collaborative Editing/Virtual Manuscript Room project. We were not alone: the same ideas inform the InterEdition project. And in Saskatchewan, they led to the Textual Communities project.
Over this same period, the web changed. 'Web 2.0' arrived, with its vision of the web ever-rewritten by its users. One can see how this impacted on our incubating ideas about collaborative workspaces. We wanted to make editions together; 'we' could be anyone; the editions we would make would be everywhere, and they would change and grow by the instant as we made them. Several papers of mine from around this period contemplated these possibilities. In one of them, Where we are with electronic scholarly editions, and where we want to be, I coined the phrase 'fluid, co-operative and distributed editions'. This is what Textual Communities is trying to make possible. (Other papers of mine discussing these issues can be read at http://usask.academia.edu/PeterRobinson.)
2005-2010 Birmingham; The Canterbury Tales project and models of collaboration
While Anastasia was a technical triumph, enabling us to publish what we wanted, just as we wanted, it did not succeed in its most profound aim: of becoming a tool usable by any scholar who might want to make a scholarly edition in digital form. By 2005 (the year I moved from De Montfort University to Birmingham), we wanted something which could create editions in real time, in collaboration with many people. Andrew West and Zeth Green both worked with me on a successor to Anastasia, with these goals in mind: this was SDPublisher, built on a very different (and much more stable and widely-accepted) combination of technologies. However, SDPublisher inherited the same basic model as Anastasia: a would-be scholar would have to install and master a rather complex piece of software. Over the same period, and particularly from 2008 when the InterEdition group became active, it became clear that web-based collaborative systems held far more promise -- an intuition completely confirmed by the startlng success of Transcribe Bentham from 2010 on, and by the rise of 'crowd sourcing'. Textual Communities, as a completely web-based system, follows this model.
In this same period, we learnt a critical lesson about collaboration. In the Digital Humanities, most collaborations are painless and pleasant. Usually, the collaboration is between a subject domain expert and a technical expert: what one might call the Kings College model. Because there is a very clear division between responsibilities, attribution of credit is uncontentious and easy. However, collaborations of this kind are actually rare in the academy, where most people work most of the time with others in the same discipline. In these cases, attribution of credit in joint research can be very difficult. The long-standing preference among humanists for solitary work can be seen as a response to this -- and also means that most humanists do not have to develop methods of dealing with these difficulties. Two events in these years showed us how dangerous these issues could be. The first related to the Canterbury Tales project, which began around 1992 as an informal collaboration between Norman Blake (then at Sheffield) and myself and Elizabeth Solopova (then in Oxford). With funding from our universities, the British Academy, the Arts and Humanities Research Board and others, more people joined the project, helping transcribe manuscripts and develop materials for publication. In time, two of those involved, Michael Pidd and Estelle Stubbs, both based in Sheffield, became dissatisfied with various aspects of the project, including their sense that their work was not sufficiently acknowledged. I, and others involved in the project, thought a clear agreement had been reached with the University of Sheffield in 1998 to allow the project to further develop, and eventually publish, materials originated by the Sheffield team. Accordingly, from 1998 up to 2010 we continued to work on these, first in Leicester and then at Birmingham, with continuing encouragement from individuals in Sheffield who reassured us that we would indeed be able to publish this work. However, in 2010 the University of Sheffield informed us that they would not permit us to publish any materials originating in Sheffield, despite all the work we had done on them: in essence, transcripts of eight full manuscripts of the Tales. These have now been published by Sheffield, in 'The Norman Blake Editions of the Canterbury Tales' (http://www.chaucermss.org/; see too http://hridigital.shef.ac.uk/norman-blake-editions). To have worked so long on these materials, always in the belief that we would be able to publish them, and then find that we could not, is a searing experience. It showed, particularly, how intellectual property law could be used not to enable ground-breaking work, but as a weapon, by one person or one set of people against another.
The second event showed even more vividly how IP can be used as a weapon of intellectual destruction. I met Hans Walter Gabler, most famous as the editor of Joyce'sUlysses, first at a Society for Textual Scholarship conference in New York in 1993. He is profoundly interested in the possibilities of the digital medium, and we had many intense discussions about what we were trying to do. We saw each other many times over the years, at conference-town and other places, and became friends: Hans has the gift of friendship. Over the same period, he was involved in protracted negotiations with the Joyce estate over his desire to extend his work on the central task of his intellectual career, his remarkable 1984 edition of Ulysses. On various occasions, he sought to make a digital version of this; he sought to republish it in print; he sought just to replicate a single manuscript page. Every request was denied, with impeccable legal force, by the Joyce estate. Further, it was made very clear to him that this refusal was eternal and irreversible and he could never hope for permission to quote a single line of Joyce, ever again. This meant that he had to abandon the work of a lifetime.
Creative commons share-alike attribution and sharing
Events like these decided us. We would never work on materials where someone else could, by fiat, render all our work worthless just by refusing publication permission. Even more, we would make all the work we do as freely available as we can to others, to permit them to do whatever they wanted with it, without fear that we (or someone else) might suddenly appear and say: this is mine. It happens that the Creative Commons attribution share-alike licence matches this desire perfectly. Notice that we advocate, firmly, that the "non-commercial" restriction, beloved of many scholars, NOT be applied to this licence. We want publishers to use our material, to blend it with other resources, even to make money from it. Good luck to them.
Just declaring that something be available to everyone is worthless unless you actually do make it available. Hence, as well as apply this licence, we would also design Textual Communities in such a way that anyone can easily access all the materials we have on Textual Communities (subject to third party permissons). Specifically, we wanted to make it easy for people to extract our materials and create their own interface to them. This led to the decision to develop an Application Programmer's Interface (API) to Textual Communities. Informally, we wanted to make it possible to write a web application in less than 100 lines of code which would create an interface to everything we have. Currently, http://www.sd-editions.com/FromThePage/SimpleAllAPI.html does this in 120 lines (and we can do better).

The only good thing about The Hubby being out of town is that I don't have to shave my legs or really care about how I look. This morning, I threw on an old Star Wars t-shirt that my husband bought for himself, a little bit of makeup, and didn't bother doing anything to my hair before heading out to do the bi-weekly grocery shopping.
I was in line at Costco, buying milk and jeans, when I noticed one of the guys who works there checking me out. He was about my age, pretty good-looking--probably what you'd call a Dad-type. Now, I don't normally notice when guys check me out (I'm kind of oblivious that way), so you know that this was super-obvious. I thought maybe there was something on my face or I had sucker stuck in my hair. It wasn't until I stepped up to the cashier and he started arranging my items that I figured out what was going on.
Guy: That's an awesome shirt.
Me (looking down, having forgot what I was wearing): Oh, yeah. Thanks. It's got holes in it, but it's really comfortable.
Guy: I'm a HUGE fan, or at least I was up until Lucas started putting out the new episodes.
Me: Oh....did you buy the blu-rays?
Guy: Not yet. Did you??
Me: Uh, no. Maybe for Christmas.
The Kid: We were Star Wars for Halloween last year!
Guy: Really??
Me: Oh, yeah, I was Princess Leia--
Guy: Oh yeah?
The Kid: And I was Jengo Fett!
Me: And my husband was Boba Fett
At this point another guy comes up and puts the first guy in a buddy headlock and they start talking more and more about Star Wars. I smile and nod, because honestly I have no idea what the heck they're talking about. I finally politely excused myself and make a break for the door.
The guy didn't even put my stuff in a box, damn it.
At the next store, I started paying attention and I definitely noticed similar "how YOU doin'?" looks coming from several other men aged 25-40. It turns out that wearing a Star Wars shirt is a TOTAL dude magnet. Who knew? And for those of you who think that I was still probably looking pretty hot, I offer this piece of photographic evidence:
|Seriously, guys?
Anyway, that's my big tip on how to attract a (possibly nerdy) man: get yourself a Star Wars t-shirt. But make sure it's an old-school Star Wars t-shirt, and not one from Episode One or something. Apparently that's bad. I wouldn't know. I've seen the whole series exactly once, and I fell asleep during each one of the movies...but the shirt is super-comfy.
* OK, he got called to Canada. I say "out of the country" so that I can sound like one of those women whose husband has a high-powered, globe trotting career.


text: Sir - Unfortunately, I shall soon be getting divorced. According to the Government's consultation paper The Cabinet Office Life Satisfaction Survey (Leader, July 1), this means I shall no longer enjoy an equivalent annual income of £72,000 - the sum put on the "life satisfaction and happiness" of being married. As this exceeds my annual income, I shall be contacting the Inland Revenue to ensure that it no longer charges me income tax.

It's All About Gold Now
By Greg Hunter'
At the beginning of this month, the G20 met in France to try to find a way to solve the European sovereign debt crisis. It ended with world leaders in disarray over a way to come up with a solution. At first blush, it appears that nothing of any importance came of the meeting of the 20 leading economies of the world, but that is not the case. It was widely reported the G20 came up with the idea that Germany might put up its gold reserves to back a bailout fund called the European Financial Stability Facility or EFSF. Of course, Germany, with its more than 3,400 tonnes of gold (number 2 in the world), quickly shot that idea down. End of story? Quite the contrary–the gold story is just beginning to get interesting.
You see, the G20 did something accidentally that was very important, and that was confirm that gold has a place in the monetary system, especially in times of extreme turmoil. Why doesn't the EU use sovereign bonds to back the EFSF? They are considered a store of value and are held as reserves in many European banks. The simple answer is the world is waking up to the fact that debt can't back up debt. Europe finds itself in a tough spot, and the leaders there know it. Reuters reported Monday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said, "Europe is in one of its toughest, perhaps the toughest hour since World War Two," she told her Christian Democrats, saying she feared Europe would fail if the euro failed and vowing to do anything to stop this from happening." (Click here for the complete Reuters story.) Well, anything but put Germany's gold up as collateral. Maybe Chancellor Merkel will be the next leader to exit the European stage? Who knows, but what I do know is that gold is once again going to become an important part of the world monetary system.

We love National Day long weekend! We used to worry about the crowds and getting foamed, not! But like everything else in life, all it took was a little practice. We have already told you what to do and what not do before. We have also made sure you knew what to avoid and how to celebrate Kuwait gastronomically. It is all still sound advice, if we say so ourselves, but there's more! And much better too. We want you to actively celebrate Kuwait and have a lot of fun while you are doing it.
Throw a Kuwait themed party
Invite your friends. Ask them to dress up in their most traditional Kuwaiti outfit, or in the colors of the flag. Tell them to be as creative as they can get. If the Americans can have their red, white and blue, then we can definitely go green, red, white and black! Decorate your space, try your hand at some traditional dishes or even create simple spreads in the right colors. You just need the right playlist with cool local artists and you are totally set.
Barbecue time
If a themed party seems too involved, a barbecue is the next best thing. This works well for two people or twenty. You don't even have to own a grill, you can buy a disposable. If you have a garden or a balcony you don't even need to leave your home. Just be mindful that grilling can be illegal in certain spots. Yasmin Farms in Wafra, Green Island, and Messilah beach allow grilling, but call ahead and check anyway. For a day-trip you could go camping instead, however you need to apply for a camping license from the municipality. Illegal barbecuing or camping could get you deported.
You don't really even have to do all the work. Bilbayt, can supply you with the complete barbecue station. It includes the marinated meats, all your grilling needs and even cleanup supplies. You just enjoy searing and cooking the food to perfection
Party Introvert Style
Not everyone loves a party and we totally understand that. You could watch some of the older Kuwaiti plays like Bye, Bye London, or Il Moraheq fil 5'amseen (The Fifty-Year Old Teenager). This is a trip down memory lane for those of us who grew up here. For the people who have no idea we are talking about, give it a shot! Kuwait has a really rich history of fantastic theatrical productions. Even the funniest ones had deep ideas behind them. It is a cultural snapshot of a much older Kuwait that is worth exploring.
Learn a Kuwaiti Craft
SADU House is an interactive museum of sorts. They preserve, promote and showcase traditional Kuwaiti Bedouin sadu hand-weaving and other textile arts. Live demonstrations of women sadu weaving in front of you is worth the trip. They also host workshops all the time where you can learn how to weave or create fabric art.
احتفل معنا في معرض حوش السدو يوم الأربعاء من الساعه ١٠ صباحاً – ٨ مساءً في بيت السدو مع @banat.omsoud @sh_design76 @asad_kw @tashkeel_ @atyabek @stitched_kw @ghraibety @case2go_kw @bastakwt @mugamsh and more! . #SaduHouse #بيت_السدو #Sadu_Celebrates#السدو_يحتفل . Celebrate February with us at AlSadu Courtyard Souk this Wednesday 10am – 8pm | Kuwait Themed Souk, Local Food and Hospitality | Traditional Music & Dance all @SaduHouse
Walk the city
Most of the crowds are on the Arabian Gulf Road. But if you start at the Maritime Museum, and walk to the Kuwait National Museum it is a pleasant 30-minute walk at a relaxed pace, and you even get to pass by Sadu House on the way. The Museum of Modern Art is just across the street and Moubarakeya is only half an hour away. You can stop for a meal and enjoy a throwback Kuwaiti experience at the old souq. Be warned though, wear comfortable footwear, travel light and maybe take a few pictures. Kuwait is a totally different experience on foot.

*This AP photo hit the Internet Wednesday evening, showing Arizona's Republican governor Jan Brewer waving her finger in the face of the President as he landed in Phoenix. Then, the story behind the photo began to trickle out, with both sides offering a different takes of what led the governor to do what many are calling disrespectful and unprecedented. [Scroll down to watch the raw video.]
As the President descended the stairs of Air Force One at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, Brewer handed Obama an envelope with a handwritten invitation to return to Arizona to meet her for lunch and to join her for a visit to the border. The two then "spoke intensely for a few minutes," and appeared to be cutting each other off, according to White House pool reporters.
"He was a little disturbed about my book," Brewer told a reporter after the incident, referring to her political memoir, "Scorpions for Breakfast." Obama was objecting to Brewer's description of a June 2010 meeting he and Brewer had at the White House, where she described Obama as lecturing her.
Brewer visited the Oval Office for a private, 30-minute encounter the White House called a "good meeting." At the time, Brewer said the meeting was "very cordial," but in her book she said Obama had been "condescending."
RELATED: Video: Brewer Tells How Her Finger got in Obama's Face
In a 2010 interview, she said of the White House meeting: "I felt a little bit like I was being lectured to, and I was a little kid in a classroom, if you will, and he was this wise professor and I was this little kid, and this little kid knows what the problem is and I felt minimized to say the least."
On Wednesday, after the airport encounter, Brewer told reporters that Obama complained that she described him in her book as not treating her cordially.
"I said to him, you know, I have always respected the office of the president and that the book is what the book is. …I said that I was sorry that he felt that way. Anyway, we're glad he's here, and we'll regroup."
Meanwhile, the White House responded to the airport showdown yesterday by saying Obama would be glad to have another meeting with Gov. Brewer, but noted "after their last meeting, a cordial discussion in the Oval Office, the governor inaccurately described the meeting in her book. The President looks forward to continuing taking steps to help Arizona's economy grow."
This isn't the first time Obama and Brewer have disagreed. In October, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit brought on by Brewer that accused the Obama administration of failing to enforce immigration laws or maintain control of her state's border with Mexico.


text: I've been told ICS is going to do away with the search button anyway, so why would AT&T intentionally add an extra capacitive button to their version, while removing the physical home button? Did they remove the physical home button because it'd be too similar to the iPhone? Or is it because the US market is just super into capacitive buttons? Any ideas? Thanks for your time everyone.

What's on the line?
There was quite a breeze blowing as I took the picture of this lovely old scrappy quilt. I just love to watch the quilts blow with the breeze and then settle back down ..........
And then I love to take a close-up picture and really study the different fabrics in these old patchwork quilts.
This quilt is very worn and quite stained but like so many of these old quilts that my dad and mother bought at auction, they still retain incredible charm and beauty. And that's the truth. :-)
I have been away for a few days in Iowa and so this week will be a "catch-up" week. I have so many fun things to "show and tell" in the coming days. We are enjoying a beautiful stretch of autumn weather and gorgeous fall colors. My picture taking does not do justice to the colors Mother Nature has offered up this year. I tried though, and will have some photos to share in my next post. Have a great Monday!

That one is gorgeous! I like the older ones the best....love the close up there. Just makes me wonder if some of those were scraps from a favorite shirt or dress, or something else. Thanks for sharing!

One more beauty from your unending collection. You could even start over and I wouldn't mind seeing them again. And, you're right, this is the most beautiful fall and Indian summer we've had in years.

That quilt is so pretty. Would that be a double irish chain? It looks like it is so simple yet so complicated. Thanks for sharing.
I miss seeing large lone trees. Most of the trees here are in clusters or woods. They are pretty, but not as impressive.

This week is all about quality over quantity as we tackle TR's latest three reviews. But before getting into Eyefinity, SSDs, and bring-your-own-OS laptops, our panel goes over the new TR site layout, puts out the call for TR interns, and answers a very technical listener question about Intel's new Moorestown handheld platform.
Moving on to the heavy stuff, Scott has finally finished his opus on AMD's Eyefinity system, and he runs through the various configurations, their pros and cons, and which setup he'd keep around to use on a regular basis. In the storage corner, Geoff has the scoop on new SandForce based solid-state drives from OCZ and Corsair, and he reveals how SandForce's hotshot storage controller fares against popular Intel offerings. Finally, Cyril took Asus's choose-your-own-adventure Eee PC for a spin, and he gives us the skinny on whether an OS-free system is worth the trouble.
Send in listener mail, and we'll answer on the podcast. - firstname.lastname@example.com

Moorestown Questions - from Paul - (0:12:41):
"Hello. I am a big fan of the TR podcasts. I love the production. Good job!
I listened to Scott's commentary on Intel's Moorestown. I am surprised at his response. It sounds like he actually likes it! There were a couple big items I thought Scott missed to mention in the podcast. I have not read his actual editorial yet. Things I thought were missed:
Moorestown is a multichip solution. It still has a southbridge! All current SoC's (Tegra, Snapdragon, OMAP3/4) are all highly integrated. A final Moorestown BOM could mean way more add-on chips than the competition. Moorestown does not come in a POP package. All the current SoC's I mentioned above have a POP package. This means the DRAM can be on the same package as the SoC. Moorestown is not packaged this way which is really going to increase PCB real estate in smart phones. It may not be a problem on tablets but definietly eliminates them from any smartphone design.
X86. It is nice that Moorestown is X86. I am not sure if this is a good thing in the mobile space. I just don't think X86 is the right architecture for the mobile world. X86 is a 20+ year old architecture. It is going to bring some desktop baggage. ARM rules the mobile space. 100k+ apps are already available for certain platforms (Ipad, Iphone, android). I don't think developers are going to want to create a x86 path if they do not have to. Google is never going to let Intel fragment Android more than it is now. X86 may actually be a hindering factor for Intel.
Again, great podcast. I listen frequently. I was just surprised there was not more coverage on the points above."

text: We are on our way to ski..... Thats how it started. My best friend ( an iphone fan and owner ) and I went to West Virginia to visit some of his family and ski. On our way we find ourselves in a blizzard in southwest WV. It's so bad that i have to pull over to wait it out. Visability was zero and was on a road that i was unfarmiliar with. So my friend pulls out his iphone to call his family and tell them we are on our way but delayed because of the storm but guess what? Zero signal....i laughed Looked at my droid..... 3 bars. I gave him my phone to call his family. After that he says to me "maybe i should switch to Verizon, but i LOVE my IPHONE!!". So we are sitting in my truck after 2 hours he says "i wish i could see the radar and see how long this is going to last". He then says, wait a minute!!! Get your droid out and check the weather. So i pull out my droid and look at it a minute or 2 and tell him "why don't you check it on your iphone?" He says, dumba$$ i have no signal. Check your wifi i tell him.......he says whats this adroid crap saying there is wifi here in the middle of nowhere? I then show him the droid again and let him sulk some more.

Sure, three's company, but you really can't have an entire Real Housewives of Orange County season with only a trio of ladies. Since Tamra Barney, Heather Dubrow, and Vicki Gunvalson are the only gals left, there has GOT to be someone else joining the club, right?
Tamra Barney, the newlywed and one of the returning cast members, may have clued her fans in on the show's new addition via an Instagram picture. E! reports that the celebrity posted a picture that included the caption, "Excited to be going to the game tomorrow with Shannon & David (new housewife) can't wait to see you…"

Said Shannon, we would have to believe, is the new lady being featured on the show, but that has not been confirmed. In fact, the picture has been removed from her account and E! reports that a source revealed that Bravo actually asked her to take the snapshot down.
Interesting… Do we think that this is a real deal? Is Shannon a newbie on the series?
