Three years ago, just after the Deutsche Bank-owned Cosmopolitan hotel and casino opened in Las Vegas, I spoke with a Vegas insider about the German bank's big Sin City bet (you can read part of that conversation in a previous post here). And last week, just after news broke that Germany's largest bank had put the Cosmopolitan up for sale, I caught up with the same Vegas insider (who's worked and lived on and around the Strip for nearly 15 years) to ask him, among other things, why the Germans weren't able to keep the Cosmo in the black. Below is an excerpt from that conversation.
Q. In a recent Bloomberg piece about the Cosmopolitan's closing, Rob Heller, the CEO of Spectrum Gaming Capital LLC, an investment bank in New York, was quoted as saying, "[The Cosmopolitan] is a compelling asset, with great rooms, great location, terrific restaurants and a great reputation among the younger, hipper crowd." Is this true? Or does Heller not know what the hell he's talking about?
A. The rooms are nice, and people who haven't been to the Cosmo like to stay there, or at least see it. As for the Cosmo's restaurants, they're considered good, but they've lost their luster and are still exorbitantly overpriced; there are just as good, if not better options elsewhere. The Cosmo does have a pseudo reputation for being hip and younger, and has a solid young professional happy hour crowd, but there are just as many goons and so-called regular people now frequenting the Cosmo. Overall, it's not what it once was, but it has recently opened the newest hot spot, Rose. Rabbit. Lie., which is actually quite cool … at the moment.
Q. The Cosmopolitan's tag line is "Just the right amount of wrong." Is this even close to describing the Cosmopolitan? What is wrong with the Cosmopolitan? And why hasn't it been able to turn a profit (currently, it's operating at an annual net loss of $100 million)?
A. The tag line was catchy at first, it made for great billboards, but it's just a tag line. What is wrong with the Cosmo is that it likely loses money because no one goes there for gaming. No one. High rollers and serious gamblers go elsewhere, if not because of the crowd, then because of the gaming set up, which still looks jammed into one long corridor. And though the Cosmo opened a new hot spot, it seems less a place to go clubbing, bar hopping, and gambling than a place just to "see." It's not surprising that it fails to make money year in and year out. The current system doesn't seem sustainable, as the new Drai's at the Cromwell, Brooklyn Bowl at the Linq, and other places like that begin to open up and take over the new buzz.
Q. According to Bloomberg, "Shopping, restaurants and shows at the Cosmopolitan, including at its three-story Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub, contributed more than twice as much gross revenue last year as its 110,000 square-foot casino." My question is: Does it seem like more people are going to casinos in Las Vegas for all the peripheral stuff (shows, shopping, food) as opposed to the gambling, and so is the future of Vega$ all about the peripheral stuff and not about the blackjack, craps, and roulette anymore?
A. There is a push and significantly more revenue coming from things other than gaming these days, and you see a push for it from some of the major casino resort companies in town. They invest heavily in things like shows, massive clubs, revitalizing outdated bars and hotels, etc. Macau took over Las Vegas in gaming revenue long ago, but gaming is still a big piece of revenue, and the Cosmo doesn't have it. The Cosmo may start to increase its bottom line by focusing on what it can do: the peripheral to gaming action. The place has always seemed to attract people, just not a whole lot of revenue. I myself still enjoy going there once in a while, as clients like to see it when they come to town—there's still a draw for it. But I usually recommend staying and gambling elsewhere and visiting only for meals that can be expensed, since it's so ridiculously expensive.

RSA 2005, SAN FRANCISCO, February 16, 2005... IBM today built on nearly six years of leadership and innovation in PC security by announcing three new security technologies for its industry-leading ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkCentre desktops, including new biometric fingerprint options, data encryption solutions and embedded notebook traceability tools.
The availability of these new technologies follows results last week from IBM's 2004 Global Business Security Index Report, which provided new details about the spread of viruses and worms and their impact on users and IT departments.
Since 1999, when IBM announced the industry's first PC with an Embedded Security Subsystem, IBM has literally set the security standards for other PC companies to emulate. A founding member of the Trusted Computing Group, an industry standards body for security, IBM is focused on developing the industry's most innovative and secure PCs. In 2005, IBM will extend its previously announced biometric security solutions by expanding the availability of the integrated fingerprint readers more widely among ThinkPad notebooks, and offering new fingerprint reader options for ThinkCentre desktops and ThinkPad notebooks, all of which make it one of the industry's largest suppliers of biometric-equipped PCs. Other additions to its security portfolio for ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkCentre desktops include new data encryption solutions and enhanced anti-theft technologies.
"Every PC user recognizes that security threats are increasing in volume and complexity," said Clain Anderson, program director for wireless and security solutions, IBM Personal Computing Division. "Our solution is to provide an even stronger, multi-layered set of security tools that builds on IBM industry leadership."
Biometric Security Authentication The new IBM Preferred Pro USB Fingerprint Keyboard and IBM USB Fingerprint Reader offer biometric solutions to authentication, providing one of the most secure log-in processes available. The new keyboard and reader offer users the convenience to gain access to confidential files with the swipe of a finger, rather than typing passwords for many applications. IBM began offering a built-in fingerprint reader in the ThinkPad T42 notebook in October 2004, and these new security solutions extend biometrics to ThinkCentre desktops and to other ThinkPad models. They also work together with IBM's patented Embedded Security Subsystem, available on select models, to provide a multi-layered approach that exceeds the capability of many software-only solutions. The IBM Preferred Pro USB Fingerprint Keyboard, priced at $99, and the IBM USB Fingerprint Reader, priced at $69, will be available on February 28, 2005 at www.ibm.com .
Data Encryption and Security In response to demand for improved data security, IBM worked with Utimaco, a leader in enterprise information security, to announce SafeGuard PrivateDisk, a tool that generates an encrypted "virtual" disk drive that serves as an electronic safe for the secure encryption and storage of sensitive data — on local hard disks, network drives, and all removable media. This software enables customers to back up, save and encrypt data on removable media without worry that, if lost or stolen, important information would be compromised. SafeGuard PrivateDisk further compliments SafeGuard Easy, a full hard-drive encryption product previously announced by IBM. The new tool is also integrated with IBM's embedded security chip, offering users even more data security protection. In conjunction with these offerings, IBM and Utimaco have signed a global alliance agreement for joint marketing of PC encryption solutions.
Two versions of SafeGuard PrivateDisk will be available; the Personal Edition that is designed for small and medium-sized businesses and the Enterprise Edition, which with its extended configuration and distribution options, is designed to meet the needs of larger organizations. SafeGuard PrivateDisk-Personal Edition will be available for free Web download for IBM customers at www.ibm.com starting March 1, 2005.
PC Theft Recovery and Asset Tracking Solutions To help organizations overcome the security risks associated with remote, mobile and desktop computer loss, IBM worked with Absolute Software to integrate a new version of Absolute's Computrace solution with the BIOS firmware of new ThinkPad notebooks, making IBM the only vendor to embed the anti-theft traceability tool in the hardware of the PC. In the event that a user's ThinkPad notebook or ThinkCentre desktop is stolen, Absolute guarantees its recovery, and at the user's request, can remotely delete sensitive data from the stolen computer if data privacy is a concern. If the computer is not recovered within 30-60 days, the user may be eligible for a Recovery Guarantee payment of up to $1,000. Additionally, Absolute provides users with a cost-effective solution for tracking computer location, providing computer hardware/software inventories, managing lease returns and enabling software title tracking and license compliance. IBM ThinkPad notebooks preloaded with Absolute's Computrace technology will be available later this month.
At RSA 2005, IBM PC Division is demonstrating new security technologies and the new T43 with integrated fingerprint reader, announced in late January.
About IBM Personal Computing Division The IBM Personal Computing Division is the leader in PCs for business productivity and the most demanding personal computing applications. PCD delivers PC enhancements, innovations and solutions that shape and define the computing industry. For more information, see www.lenovo.com/think .

6 Ways to Turn a Job Fair into a Job
Steve Berman | SalesHQ
Tip No. 2: Be prepared
If you show up to a job fair with a bunch of resumes in your hand and nothing else, you're doing it all wrong. A resourceful job fair attendee will appear to be a resourceful employee, too. Make sure that you bring more copies of your resume than you would ever plan on handing out, and make sure they're in a protective portfolio of some sort. Bring different versions of your resume if there's a wide range of companies at the fair.
Other things to remember include letters of recommendation, business cards, a notepad, and a professional looking briefcase to carry it all. If the recruiter or hiring manager hands you brochures or business cards of their own, you want to look like you're taking special care of these documents and not simply shoving them in your pocket.

Yale Coming Of Thrilling Double Overtime Win Over Army
Yale Game Notes | Hartford Basketball Site
Live Stats | Yale All Access Video | WYBC Audio
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Bulldogs (2-5) are back in the friendly confines of the John J. Lee Amphitheater for the second straight game when Hartford visits on Thursday night for a 7 p.m. tipoff. The game will be televised on tape delay in Connecticut by CPTV Sports. It will be shown on Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 9.
Yale has fared extremely well at home recently, winning 14 of its last 15 games in New Haven dating back to the 2010-11 season. The most recent win may have been the most difficult and was certainly one of the most exciting. Austin Morgan scored 19 points, including two big free throws in the final seconds of the second overtime as the Bulldogs edged Army 86-83 in a game that featured nine ties and 12 lead changes. Morgan, who leads the team in scoring (12.4 ppg.), was one of five players in double figures. Freshman Justin Sears posted his first career double-double by scoring 10 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. Yale played its first six games away from home. The Bulldogs have already been involved in a number of close games, falling in overtime to Sacred Heart in the season opener and beating Buffalo by four, 63-59, in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. Yale will have a rare weekend off after the Hartford game. The Bulldogs are next in action on Dec. 5 at Bryant.
• In his last five games, Justin Sears is averaging 11.2 points and 8.0 rebounds, while shooting 55.3 percent (21-of-38) from the field. Sears's 28 offensive rebounds are the most in the Ivy League.
• Sam Martin made his first career start on Saturday against Army and responded with 11 points. His three-pointer with 32 seconds left in the second overtime gave the Bulldogs the lead for good, 84-83.
• Austin Morgan was a perfect 11-for-11 from the free throw line in the win over Army. For the season he is shooting 93.1 percent (27-of-29).
• Michael Grace has scored in double figures in back-to-back game. He had 12 points at Vermont and followed that up with 14 points against Army.
• Matt Townsend made his first career start in the Army game and responded in a big way. He was 6-of-7 from the field, scored a career-high 15 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
Yale and Hartford are playing for the 13th time and the series is all tied at 6-6. The Bulldogs, though, have won four straight meetings with Hartford, including a 74-69 win last year in West Hartford. Austin Morgan scored 26 points to pace Yale. Eight of the previous 12 games between the teams have been decided by five points or less.
The Hawks (2-3) are coming off an 80-77 win over Central Connecticut on Saturday. Ten of the 14 players on Hartford's roster are freshmen or sophomores. Four of Hartford's five games have been played at home. Mark Nwakamma (17.0 ppg., 7.0 rpg.) leads the Hawks in scoring and rebounding. He scored 24 points in Saturday's victory over Central Connecticut and was named the America East Player of the Week. John Gallagher is in his third season as the head coach at Hartford. Gallagher spent two years as an assistant coach at Penn.
The Bulldogs have finished fourth or better in the Ivy League in each of the last 12 years. That didn't earn Yale much respect in the preseason Ivy League media poll, which projected a sixth-place finish for the Bulldogs. Yale, though, has a history of proving the prognosticators wrong. In five of the last seven years, the Bulldogs have finished higher than projected. Princeton is the near unanimous favorite to win the league. The Tigers received 16 of the 17 first-place votes. . Defending champion Harvard was picked second followed by Columbia, Cornell and Penn. Brown and Dartmouth round out the poll.

Senior Austin Morgan has earned a couple of preseason honors. He was named first team All-League by the Blue Ribbon College Yearbook and received second team recognition from College Sports Madness and Lindy's. Morgan, a two-year starter, finished fifth in the nation and set a school record with a .900 free throw percentage. Junior Jeremiah Kreisberg was named to the preseason third team by College Sports Madness. Kreisberg has started 47 games in his first two seasons. Last year, he started all 29 games and finished third on the team in rebounding (5.1 rpg.) and fourth in scoring (7.7 ppg.).
The 2012-13 Yale roster features four freshmen. Khaliq Bedart-Ghani (Inglewood, CA), Jack Montague (Brentwood, TN), Justin Sears (Plainfield, NJ) and Nick Victor (Dallas, TX) all bring strong credentials. Bedart-Ghani led Loyola High School in California in rebounding and blocks as a senior last winter. Montague was the district, region and county most valuable player as a senior at Brentwood High School. He averaged 17.0 points and seven assists and scored more than 1,200 career points. Sears earned first team all-state, all-area and all-county honors as a senior at Plainfield High School in New Jersey. He scored 1,048 points and grabbed 1,063 rebounds in his career to become only the second player in school history to score over 1,000 points and grab more than 1,000 rebounds. He helped lead Plainfield to two New Jersey Tournament of Champion title games where it lost to national power St. Anthony's both times. Victor spent one year at the Winchendon School and earned NEPSAC honorable mention recognition. At Lovejoy High School in Dallas, Texas, he was the 2010 District most valuable player.
• The Bulldogs don't play their first home game until Saturday, Nov. 24 against Army at 2 p.m. That is the first of 12 games in the friendly confines of the John J. Lee Amphitheater.
• Yale played in the NABC Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. The first game was at Saint Joseph, the Atlantic 10 preseason favorite. The Bulldogs then headed to Evansville, Ind., for three games, against Evansville, Buffalo and Western Illinois.
• New England rival New Hampshire is on the schedule for the first time since 1998. The Bulldogs meet the Wildcats on Dec. 8 in Durham, N.H.
• Yale faces a very challeging three-game road trip right after Christmas. The Bulldogs travel to Nevada, Saint Mary's and Iowa State. The trip to Nevada is a homecoming for Reno native Austin Morgan, while the trip to Iowa State is a homecoming for Ames, Iowa, native Jesse Pritchard.
• The biggest test of the season, though, may come in Lee Amphitheater when preseason No. 10 Florida visits on Jan. 6. The Gators return three starters from a squad that went 26-11 and fell one game shy of the Final Four last year.
• The Florida game is one of two in the Amphitheater that will be nationally televised. The NBC Sports Network will be in town for the game with the Gators, while CBS Sports Television will show the home game with Harvard on Feb. 23.
• Yale kicks off Ivy League play on Jan. 19 at Brown. Five of the first six Ivy games will be on the road.
Reggie Willhite, the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year last year as a senior at Yale, was selected in the fifth round of the 2012 NBA Development League Draft on Nov. 2. Willhite was selected by the Reno Bighorns with the fifth pick in the fifth round. He was the 70th player chosen overall. Willhite becomes the second Yale player to be drafted by a D-League team. Alex Zampier '10 was chosen in the seventh round of the 2012 draft by the New Mexico Thunderbirds. Willhite enjoyed an outstanding career for the Bulldogs. His 132 career steals are the seventh most in school history. As a senior, he earned second team All-Ivy recognition, set a single-season school record with 65 steals and was 17th in the nation in steals (2.24 per game). Willhite joins a long list of players that have earned professional opportunities during James Jones' tenure as the head coach at Yale. Ted Smith (England), Matt Minoff (Israel), Paul Vitelli (Italy), Dominick Martin (Spain), Matt Kyle (Portugal), Caleb Holmes (Iceland), Ross Morin (Switzerland), Eric Flato (England), Greg Mangano (Turkey) and Edwin Draughan (France) have all played overseas. Zampier and Neil Yanke (tryout with Los Angeles Lakers) both had opportunities in the United States.

Wiha VDE Phillips Screwdriver Ph1 x 80mm
VDE is a standard to ensure screwdrivers and other hand tools are safe to use when working with electricity. VDE takes its acronym from the German company Verband der Elektrotechnik, who are responsible for testing and certifying tools and appliances.
VDE has become the recognised standard within the building trade throughout Europe. Seeing the VDE trademark on a pair of pliers or a screwdriver gives the user the assurance that it's safe to use with electricity. Wherever you see the VDE mark you will often find a voltage limit, this indicates what voltage levels the tool is safe to work with.
Not just any tool can bear the VDE certification mark. All VDE rated tools are put through very rigorous testing to ensure the quality, construction, safety and even the ergonomics meet with the protective requirements of the applicable EC Directive.

Mesa, Arizona ~ Benedictine University at Mesa made history this past fall when it opened its doors to students for the first time. Now these students are forging some history of their own by electing the campus' first-ever Student Senate officers.
Celebrating firsts is becoming commonplace for BenU at Mesa Student Senate president Alberto Carrazco.
"I am a first-generation college student. I am a pioneer for my family," Carrazco said. "I did not choose to run for the glamour. I decided to run because I want to make a difference. I want to help my new home grow."
Carrazco, a graduate of Mesa High School and a Nutrition major, has worked on political action committees and political campaigns as an organizer and volunteer.
Laura Sanchez, a Communication Arts major also from Mesa High School, was elected vice president of finance for the Student Senate. She already has a plethora of ideas on how to help build the student body's sense of community and get students engaged on campus.
"I want to help our new Mesa branch community grow immensely. I would like to see how some traditional college norms (like school clubs and activities) intertwine with the nontraditional (like lecture-free classrooms)," Sanchez said. "I am very excited about making history."
Sanchez, who was involved with student government and Model United Nations at her hometown high school in Lynden, Wash., before transferring to Mesa High School, said she plans to work to integrate student engagement with academic success.
"There are many things we all hope to achieve, but I believe the No. 1 goal for our BenU community in Mesa is to have academic success with the PBL (Problem-Based Learning) classroom structure, which allows students to prepare for the real world," Sanchez said.
"At the same time, I plan to focus on the Benedictine values by helping us grow as individuals, physically, spiritually and mentally. I hope to achieve these things, as well as help the City of Mesa grow and make our branch campus grow in population and in recognition of excellence."
The third executive member of BenU at Mesa Student Senate is Marlo Enrico, vice president of marketing and communications. Enrico, a Mountain Pointe High School graduate, has declared Communication Arts as a major, and is confident and passionate about her commitment to fostering student achievement – of others and her own.
"I am truly passionate about what the school is doing and I wanted to do my part as a student to help in any way that I can," Enrico said. "I want to build up student life, emphasize the importance of giving back to the community and help the students build both educational and spiritual knowledge."
Enrico, who has experience as an officer for Mountain Pointe's Distributive Education Clubs of America – an international student organization which helps prepare students to be business leaders – and as a member of the Students Against Destructive Decisions organization, plans to focus her efforts on the core Benedictine value of service to the community.
"I want to get the school involved in community service projects. As a member of a Catholic university, I think it is important to give back to the community around us," she said. "I want to see the students getting involved in clubs, sports and other opportunities. The more you are involved in your school, the more positive your experience is going to be."
Officers will meet with other students to discuss the structure of the first student body organization for the Mesa branch Campus, organizing spring elections and recruiting student body representatives.
Benedictine University at Mesa provides a private, values-based education grounded in history, heritage and Catholic tradition. Current degree offerings include a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice, Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Bachelor of Arts in Theology, Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Bachelor of Business
Administration in Management and Organizational Behavior, in addition to a minor in Religious Studies.
The University is accepting applications for spring enrollment.
For more information about Benedictine University at Mesa, please visit the Gregory Enrollment Center at 51 E. Main St., Suite 105, in downtown Mesa or www.ben.edu/mesa, or contact (602) 888-5500 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Benedictine University at Mesa is a branch campus of Benedictine University, an independent Roman Catholic institution located in Lisle, Illinois, just 25 miles west of Chicago. Founded in 1887, Benedictine is ranked No. 1 among the country's fastest-growing campuses between 2000-2010 in The Chronicle of Higher Education's list of private nonprofit research institutions, and Forbes magazine named Benedictine among "America's Top Colleges" for the third consecutive year in 2013. Education and technology blog edcetera named Benedictine University at Mesa among 10 universities in the nation on the cutting edge of tech for 2013.

Matt Scheller added a fifth-place finish in the weight throw with a mark of 15.18 meters (49 feet, 9-3/4 inches).
The Wabash team of Zielinski, Patrick Posthauer, Chet Riddle, and Haley took second place in the 800-meter relay with a time of 1:32.82.
Wabash returns to action with another home meet — the Little Giant Invitational — on Saturday, January 22, 2011.

邪恶力量 SPN Guess The Quote Game
Emmanouela96 posted on Aug 19, 2010 at 04:09PM
Just another game for you fellow SPNers to play,
which is like hangman but awesomer! xD
If you don't already know the rules or want to brush them off, here they are:
1) The quote you put for us to guess MUST be from Supernatural.
2) In front of the quote, you put the name of the person who said it so it would be easier for us to find!
3) Each person may guess one letter at a time and can guess the whole quote after at least 5 letters are put.
4) The one who guessed it gets to pick the new quote.
5) The person who picked the quote will give props to the one who got it right and to everyone who guessed a letter that was in the quote.
6) The person who picked the quote must check the forum every day.
7)If the person who picked the quote does not appear here for 5 days to check someone else can put a new quote.
8) _ stands for a letter / stands for a space and ' stands for what it is, an apostrophe!
Hope you'll enjoy :D

What's your first thought when someone spreads an e-mail around the office claiming that Oprah is giving away a million bucks or that your penny-pinching state will no longer send out reminders about driver's license renewals?
Right: Better check Snopes.com to see if these things are true. (The first is not; the second is indeed, if you, like me, live in Massachusetts.)
(2013's 25 Geekiest 25th Anniversaries)
Established in 1995, Snopes has long been the go-to site for running a rumor through the BS-detector, and its proprietors, David and Barbara Mikkelson, have assumed an almost mythic stature as the most authoritative discoverers of truth and falsity online.
But who's checking the fact checkers?
Last Friday it was a similar but more narrowly focused outfit, FactCheck.org, which is funded by the Annenberg Foundation and describes itself as "a nonpartisan, nonprofit 'consumer advocate' for voters that aims to reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics." (Why not try something easier first, like say peace in the Middle East?)
Here's the essence of a chain e-mail that FactCheck.org decided to fact check: Is Snopes.com run by a "very Democratic" duo who long hid their true identities, rarely do any real research, and blatantly fabricated a tale about a State Farm Insurance agent just because he publicly opposed the election of President Obama?
No, no, no and no were the conclusions. Employing that age-old reporter's trick of contacting the primary source -- in this case, State Farm -- FactCheck.org was able to confirm that, yes, the insurance giant had asked agent Bud Gregg to stop using its brand name as his political soapbox. The group could find no evidence of political contributions or activism on the part of the Mikkelsons -- he's a former Republican turned independent; she's a Canadian who cannot vote.
"You'd be hard-pressed to find two more apolitical people," David Mikkelson said. We checked online to see if he had given money to any federal candidates, and nothing turned up. Mikkelson even faxed us a copy of his voter registration form. He asked us not to post an image of it here, but we can confirm that it shows he declined to state a party affiliation when he registered last year, and also that when he registered in 2000 he did so as a Republican.
Do the Snopes.com articles reveal a political bias? We reviewed a sampling of their political offerings, including some on rumors about George W. Bush, Sarah Palin and Barack Obama, and we found them to be utterly poker-faced. David does say that the site receives more complaints that it is too liberal than that it is too conservative. Nevertheless, he says, "We apply the same debunking standards to both sides."
Of course, the reason Snopes.com is more often accused of bias by conservatives than by liberals is that facts have a notoriously liberal bias.
The FactCheck fact checkers found plenty of evidence that the Mikkelsons are serious if not obsessive researchers, not exactly a revelation to fans of the site. As for hiding their identities, the first of countless press mentions of Snopes dates back to a 1995 article in the Los Angeles Times that named David Mikkelson.
Bottom line: You can go on trusting Snopes.com as much as you'd trust any other source of information on the Internet (and, no, that's not meant to be back-handed).
(Geek-Themed Meme of the Week Archive)
Incidentally, the Mikkelsons make no claim to infallibility and insist that their highest objective is to help convince people to think critically about what they hear and read ... and to do their own fact checking.
Because you never know when someone will try to pull one over on you.
(Update: Before leaving a Snopes-like question here in the comments, please read this follow-up post. This is not -- repeat, not -- Snopes.com. Thanks.)

About Henrik Strömberg
Henrik is a magician of metamorphosis
"The subjects of my imagery are less significant than my wish to prompt a deeper sense of reflection, a grasp of the intangible, or a glimpse of the other."
Previously studying in London and Prague, Henrik Strömberg works in Berlin mainly as a photographer. His creative process usually encompasses two phases. The first step is to remove images from its context and expected narrative, and the second is to use the material as building blocks to create something that feels altogether new. The result is subjects that possess an unexpected shape and silhouette with an aesthetic that feels poetic, minimal and considered. Strömberg has created three photographs for Absolut Art as part of an ongoing series called "Before The Fact". They depict places and objects in isolation, and convey a sense of timelessness through the work's negative, black and white aesthetic.

50 Popular Mistaken Beliefs
Leo Igwe
October 12, 2012
50 Popular Beliefs that People Think are True. By Guy Harrison. Prometheus Books, Amherst, New York, 2011. ISBN: 978-1616144951. 458 pp. Paperback, $18.
Many people entertain beliefs without question. These are beliefs handed down to them as traditions or doctrines purportedly revealed by God. They think these beliefs are true and are not ready to subject them to critical evaluation. In many societies, people lack the will to doubt or to raise objections to popular claims and notions partly because they think popularity implies veracity or that beliefs held by the majority invests validity to claims. Hence many popular misconceptions exist and persist. They continue to mar people's lives in ways they do not know and even if they know they find it difficult to acknowledge or accept. In his magnificent book, 50 Popular Beliefs That People Think Are True, Guy Harrison, an award-winning journalist, draws attention to these popular misconceptions and their dark and destructive influence on the lives of individuals and the society at large. In a very simple, thoughtful, easy to read and entertaining style, the author exposes the faulty logic underlying these beliefs.
Harrison doesn't use a condescending approach, something skeptics are often accused of using in addressing irrational believers and in challenging and debunking paranormal claims. Instead Harrison humbly acknowledges the cultural universality of unreason: "We all believe silly things, what matters is how silly and how many." He makes his objective clear: "I want readers to know my motivations for writing this book. I'm not scolding, lecturing, or preaching to make myself feel important. I am only trying to encourage and inspire critical thinking and spread the word that skepticism is important." The author is not interested in telling people what to believe or not believe as such: "Truth is, I really couldn't care less about what someone believes. It's only when I see unproven beliefs diminishing someone's life or causing harm to others that I feel obligated to speak up and offer a helping hand," he asserts. Harrison has, in this book, offered a helping hand through a poignant analysis of these popular beliefs and how they are employed by charlatans to exploit and dupe gullible folks.
So, are you one of those who think belief in the paranormal and supernatural, near-death experiences, miracles, and reincarnation are true? Then, you need to pick up a copy of this book. Or if you are one of those who patronize psychics, faith healers, or alternative and homeopathic "medical" practitioners, before your next visit, please go through some of the chapters.
You may be one of those who think, "You're Either Born Smart or You're Not," or that "The Bible Code Reveals the Future," or "UFOs Are Visitors from Other Worlds," or perhaps "Angels Watch Over Me," or even "I am Going to Heaven When I Die." If so, the author says you should think again. Harrison makes a case for skepticism, not for its own sake but for the sake of humanity. He advocates a form of caring and constructive skepticism. The author describes promoting skeptical rationality as a moral duty. "The way I see it, promoting reason and skepticism is a moral issue. It's about caring for your fellow humans." This unique sense of rational care runs through its pages.
This book is a must-read for skeptics and non-skeptics alike. It will excite all critical thinkers and will get believers to reexamine many popular beliefs that they think are true. I recommend it to all who are concerned and deeply worried about the "gigantic cloud of danger" looming large over our world today due to popular dogmatic and irrational beliefs.

30 Day Ride Out Guarantee With this Surfboard - Don't like it? swap it
Channel Islands Sampler surfboard 6ft 2 FCS II - White
Product Details
Thanks CI, it's been a while but this is a board to get excited about, its perfect for 90% of surfers out there and is good to go in the majority of waves we actually surf in. The Sampler has its roots in the Dumpster Diver flat, and has a flat entry and centre rocker, and ample curve out the tail, this means you've got a board that you can actually turn, sit in the pocket and enjoy. The generous single concave runs the whole length of the board, with a slight double within the single between the fins. There's a little vee to provide kick off the tail. The full outline in the front half of the board, with an exaggerated and slightly forward of normal Merrick hip, and a wide old-school squash tail gives the surface area to cruise over poorer sections whilst keeping the speed up so you can still hit the lip. The Sampler is suitable for every level of surfer who has to go and surf less than perfect conditions on a regular basis! It sits between your groveller and your shortboard and for lots of surfers will act as a one board quiver. Surf it 2 inches shorter and a thicker than your shortboard.
It'll go in knee to head high conditions in mush but if the odd decent set comes through The Sampler has the attributes to get then most of it. Designed with Dane Reynolds collaborating it's a true everyman board and fills a gap in the CI armoury. Rock solid production and top quality materials keep this board at the top of the pecking order in its category.
Don't forget you can also order a customised version of this board choosing your exact dims, fin set up and fin system, check out our customizer service at Boardshop right now.

The American supermarket now offers more than 38,000 items, and an infographic by Oxfam International making its way around the Web reveals how 10 companies are responsible for almost all the processed food and beverages stocked on the shelves.
According to Oxfam, the Big 10 are Coca Cola Co. /quotes/zigman/222647/delayed /quotes/nls/ko KO , Nestle , PepsiCo Inc. /quotes/zigman/238082/delayed /quotes/nls/pep PEP , General Mills Inc. /quotes/zigman/227548/delayed /quotes/nls/gis GIS , Kellogg Co. /quotes/zigman/231157/delayed /quotes/nls/k K , Associated British Foods /quotes/zigman/189025/delayed UK:ABF , Mondelez International /quotes/zigman/11829567/delayed /quotes/nls/mdlz MDLZ , Mars, Danone /quotes/zigman/163487/delayed FR:BN and Unilever /quotes/zigman/409909/delayed UK:ULVR .
The report warns about the dangers of a convoluted global food system: farmers with fewer buyers for their products, agricultural workers exploited and suffering unsafe conditions, consumers unable to keep track of who's behind the brand, and massive international conglomerates unaware of what's happening in their own supply chains.
Oxfam also says the food and beverage industry is not doing enough to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, contributing to climate change and ultimately hurting farmers.
A May 2014 report says if the Big 10 were a country, it would be the 25th highest-polluting nation in the world, more than Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway combined.

Yugoslavia was a multi-ethnic and multi-confessional country on the western part of the Balkans during most of the 20th century, which disintegrated during the 1990s-2000s.
- Capitalism has been fully restored in Yugoslavia, as is well-known, but this capitalism knows how to disguise. Yugoslavia portrays itself as a socialist state, but of a special kind, as the world has never seen it before! The Titoites even boast that their state has nothing in common with the first socialist state which emerged from the socialist October Revolution and which was founded by Lenin and Stalin on the basis of the scientific theory of Marx and Engels.
- Enver Hoxha, Yugoslav "Self-Administration" - Capitalist Theory and Practice (Against the anti-socialist views of E. Kardelj) in the book "Directions of the Development of the Political System of Socialist Self-Administration"), Institute of Marxist-Leninist studies of the Central Committee of the Party of Labour of Albania, Tirana, 1978.
- Yugoslavia is, with Iran, the only country which under difficult, not to say agonising, circumstances stood up to Joseph Stalin. It was not easy to unite ethnic groups or to modernize a country like Yugoslavia, and it must be acknowledged that Marshal Tito achieved something extraordinary. May God grant that his successors be as capable as he.
- Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, The Shah's Story (1980), page 146-147.
- No country of people's democracy has so many nationalities as this country has... The reason why we were able to settle the nationalities question so thoroughly is to be found in the fact that it had begun to be settled in a revolutionary way in the course of the Liberation War, in which all the nationalities in the country participated, in which every national group made its contribution to the general effort of liberation from the occupier according to its capabilities. Neither the Macedonians nor any other national group which until then had been oppressed obtained their national liberation by decree. They fought for their national liberation with rifle in hand. The role of the Communist Party lay in the first place in the fact that it led that struggle, which was a guarantee that after the war the national question would be settled decisively in the way the communists had conceived long before the war and during the war. The role of the Communist Party in this respect today, in the phase of building socialism, lies in making the positive national factors a stimulus to, not a brake on, the development of socialism in our country. The role of the Communist Party today lies in the necessity for keeping a sharp lookout to see that national chauvinism does not appear and develop among any of the nationalities. The Communist Party must always endeavour, and does endeavour, to ensure that all the negative phenomena of nationalism disappear and that people are educated in the spirit of internationalism.
- Josip Broz Tito, as quoted in Concerning the National Question and Social Patriotism, Speech held at the Slovene Academy of Arts and Sciences, November 26, 1948, Ljubljana

Last time we heard from Vintage Racer, he was performing duct-tape heroics to keep his Datsun 510 on the weather-challenged race track. Since then, he's been sending more of his excellent photographic work our way, and today we're going to look at one of the coolest musclecars ever built, rivaling even the mighty '69 SC/Rambler. Yes, this here is a '64 Studebaker Daytona vintage race car! Make the jump to read Vintage Racer's description, and get ready for more of his photos later in the week!
Evidently, in 1964 Studebaker built 465 of these - with 283 Chevy engines. So after building a Trans Am Camaro, this gentleman was looking for a new project. Something different to road race - a Chevelle, maybe a Nova. He found out there were FIA homlogation papers for a Studebaker, and this is what he built. A beautiful car, it ran pretty well and sounded great. He'll be back out with it over the 4th of July weekend at the SOVREN Historic races.
