  • 2011 Sicilian Open Champion Raphael Jacquelin.

Frenchman Raphaël Jacquelin is looking forward to a “special” week at the Sicilian Open, where he will seek to successfully defend the title he captured 12 months ago.

After the event had been extended due to thunderstorms on Sunday, Jacquelin survived a fifth day charge from Anthony Wall to prevail by a single stroke and secure his third European Tour victory.

This year, the second edition of the €1million event will be held at the magnificent Verdura Golf & Spa Resort, in Sicily, and Jacquelin is relishing his return to the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.

He said: “I hear the new course is very good, so I’m looking forward to it. I think every player would like to defend more titles in his career, no matter who you are, and the majority of us don’t get to do it too often, so there is always something special about going back to a tournament as a defending champion.

“It’s cool to be the defending champion. It’s what every professional aspires to, it’s why we play the game – to win titles and have as much success as we can.”

With the likes of teenage sensation Matteo Manassero, Major Champion Rich Beem and rising star Tom Lewis in the field, Jacquelin knows he will not have it all his own way next week; but is hopeful of bringing all his experience to bear when he tackles the 7,375 yards, par 72 composite course, made up of holes from Verdura Golf & Spa Resort’s East and West Courses, for the first time.

He said: “It’s always difficult to do it [defend your title], but you have to try and treat the week like any other and hope that you can play the same golf as you did the year before. The one thing for me is that, after 15 years on Tour, I have enough experience not to let the ‘defending champion’ title affect me. I will try to treat the week normally.

“My confidence is okay at the moment. I have been playing pretty well recently, and hopefully the good memories of last year can help me go up another level when I get to Sicily.”

Those good memories include an opening 66, the first of four sub-70 rounds that Jacquelin would go on to compile.

He went into the final day with a one-stroke lead, but fell behind Anthony Wall after the Englishman racked up three birdies in five holes when play resumed on Monday morning.

But when Wall’s misplaced approach shot to the 17th green found water, the initiative was handed back to Jacquelin, who parred the last two holes to collect the €166,600 winner’s cheque.

He recalled: “It was a tough tournament last year because of the delays and everything, and the Monday finish was especially hard. We had a re-start time of seven o’clock in the morning, and I remember being on the range with nine other players thinking it was all a bit strange.

“But I played well, and when you win those strange feelings quickly disappear. I played some great golf throughout the tournament last year, but it was a tough battle with Anthony, especially on the Monday morning. He made a great birdie as soon as we restarted to get all square with me so I knew straight away that I had to play well to get the victory.

“He made a mistake on the 17th which helped me to win because no matter how well you play, you always need a little bit of help, or luck, or whatever you want to call it, to get the job done. Hopefully next week the luck can go my way again.”

palm springs modernism

Image from Christopher Kennedy

Every February, design fans descend upon the mid-century Mecca of Palm Springs for Modernism Week. Euro Style Lighting has put together a snapshot of the state of Modernism...its past, present and seen through the lens of this week-long series of parties, exhibits, lectures and tours.

Image from Modernism Week

The Prefab Showcase and Modern Living Expo (pictured above) gives a snapshot of where mod design is headed. This "village" of prefab homes highlighted the intersection of modern living, affordable architecture, green design and lighting efficiency. Here was a chance to see products and designers on the cutting edge of residential Modernism.

Meanwhile, the Vintage Travel Trailer Show, featuring classic trailers and campers from collectors across the country, offers a kitschy nod to Modernism's past.

Perhaps, nothing captures the spirit of the region's post-war design scene better than the Christopher Kennedy Compound: Modernism Week Palm Springs Show House 2014 presented by Luxe Interior+Design. This mid-century-inspired home has been decorated lavishly for Modernism Week 2014 by some of the design community's brightest stars. Photos are unfortunately not permitted in the space (a rendering of the space can be seen at the top of this post), but we can promise you from experience, it is indeed exceptional. Of note is the playful pool decor by Trina Turk, a fabulous living room by Woodson and Rummerfield's House of Design, and a chic-noir bedroom by Thomas Lavin.

At the Palm Springs Convention Center, the Palm Springs Modernism Show and Sale showcases more than 80 exhibitors of modern furniture, collectibles, and memorabilia.

Next door (but officially unrelated to Modernism Week), the Palm Springs Fine Art Fair showcased post-war and contemporary art over Presidents Day weekend. British Artist Andy Burgess' paintings (pictured below and exhibited by Cynthia Corbett Gallery) were in lock step with theme of the week.

post-war art

All in all, Modernism Week has something in store for every fan of modern design. Add nightly parties, receptions and the inevitable downtime by the pool and this is a day, week or weekend worth to remember. Modernism Week events continue officially until February 23, 2014.

Recipe to compose a religion

First take a religion or an already existing cult (or do yourself a mixture from various sources).
Indeed, any kind of religion derives from another : the Christianism from the Judaism, the Buddhism from the Brahmanism, the Islam from a cult which took place around the black stone, in addition with Jewish and nestoriens elements...
We coud wonder from which other religion the Judaism derives ?
Any religion is a deflecting act
, we almost could say (with the risk of shocking) an usurping act.

The group's component

The ideological component (optional ?)

The knowledge's component

The mystical component (optional)

The group's component

A religion delimits a human territory : The ecclesia for the Christians, the "chosen people" for Jews etc

The property of this territory is to imply with those who belong to it that they are endowed with a privilege. This privilege is virtual : it is this one... to belong to the group (we go in circles).

Those who are outside this group are still in the shade, they are the laymen, the neophytes, the pagan ones, they do not still know...

This feeling of virtual privilege changes easily into feeling of superiority, incompatible with the obligation of humility within each religion. This is why it is impossible in fact to be simultaneously faithfull to the texts and to the soul of these texts.

The ideological component (optional?)

There is ideology each time that one thinks he has found the human cause of evil. The religions sometimes dress themselves with this apparatus. The evil would come from the bad nature of the man (Christianity), of his fear of the suffering (Buddhism), of the badly built society (humanism), of the exploitation of men by men (Communism), of the nonconformity of the society to the religious precepts (Moslem brothers)... Each religion has in his past a page of its history written with letters of blood. Their representatives excuse themselves with speaking about historical anomalies, mishaps and call upon the " human nature ". But an anomaly which is constant is a law : the religion deploys a fanaticism each time it believes to have recognized the human cause of the evil.
Religious proselytism tends to the ideology : supposing that converting is good, it can thus believe that the failure of this evangelization is evil, and want to force it.

Racism is the simplest and lowest level of the ideology, since it consists in showing as evil a target group, selected on the practical criterion of its discernibility. The attack of the target group by the vector group causes the reinforcement of the feeling of cohesion within this last one : there is it's goal. We ought to seek the cause of racism not in an unspecified incomprehension, but in an active rejection, causing satisfaction by sublimation : it is one degree inside the meanness exercising.

The component knowledge

The knowledge does not mean here checked truth, but a vision of the world, a culture. The religious knowledge must relate to the link of our world with the supernatural one, which is always supposed. And how to not represent ourselves supernatural, when our nature itself obliges us to figure out an idea of our destiny?

There is a minimum, basic knowledge, which is used to establish the common language of the group, as well as the ritual on which it is dependent.

It always englobes a part of magic, that many religions try to repress. It is a contradiction there : what does a priest do when he blesses, if not attracting a divine supernatural force to the nature. Isn't it magic?

There is also a richer knowledge, reserved for the speculative development, and to the mystical work which is not intended for everyone : this is called esoterism. It is this esotericism, developed by someones, with its richness of proposals, which may allow a religion to evolve : adapting to the world or developping religious sub-groups.

The mystical component (optional)

This component complains about our ordinary nature, and claims that modifying it is possible. Generations of men (and women) described this mystical phenomenon during their experimentation of it, particularly the mental's obstacles which opposes it. Psychology loses a lot comprehending the mechanisms of the spirit while refusing to study the fruit of this long line of experiences.

(Thus, there is a whole heritage which is banished out of the area of modern knowledge. Why this blind point in our culture ? and what are the consequences on our society ?...

This is this mystical component we are proposing to develop among the next pages.

Who can Pitch?

Pitch Night #16 is open to entrepreneurs/business owners from all industries and across all of Louisiana. These businesses must be seeking debt/equity capital to launch or grow their business. Companies must have a digital presentation prepared and timed to under 10 minutes. Presenters will also be prepared to answer questions from the SeNSE members in the audience as well as take notes from the panelists' feedback.

What value do companies/founders receive from pitching at SeNSE Pitch Night?

The purpose is to receive direct feedback on your company's solution and business model in order to ensure that you are in fact on a path to success and to raise the awareness level of your company's needs among the local community. Past presenters at SeNSE Pitch Nights have been connected with the following stakeholders throughout the Pitch Night process:

  • engineers and developers
  • marketing and advertising professionals
  • mentors and advisors
  • incubators, accelerators and consultants

What is the format?

We like to keep things simple and fluid. Each of the businesses will have 10 minutes to give their "investor" pitch. Next presenters should be prepared to answer 2-4 questions from audience members. They should answer each question in under 30 seconds in a positive, clear and concise manner. Lastly, presenters will obtain feedback from the experts on how to improve their pitch and their business model. They should not try to offer a rebuttal to the panel unless one is specifically asked for.

What value does the Panel provide?

Our panel is comprised of diverse and proven experts from various backrounds such as technology startups, venture capital, private equity, business ownership and more. They have been trained to observe the pitch closely to look for positive indicators as well as inconsistencies that may cause the entrepreneur to lose a deal in a real-life investment pitch environment. Our panelists are focused on helping to improve the entrepreneurs' chance of raising capital.

  • London - Victoria Park

    Great but.................. from Souter, 24/07/11
    Great shows but the sound quality from the rock stage was very poor. It was also a shame they positioned the Big Ferris wheel in the centre of the rock stage view and they should have told the Ferris wheel folk to turn their music off when the bands were on stage They need to improve the signage, we walked past the beer festival a couple of time before we found it. Finally it was a great day, great atmosphere with folks who wanted a good day out - why do some morons feel the need to throw glasses and the bottles into the crowd - if that’s what you wantto do on a Saturday then go to the football.
  • London - Victoria Park

    Fantastic from Sandy, 23/05/11
    This was a brilliant weekend. Id love to go again, but not sure they could ever match this.

    So many good bands that, although we managed to see almost all of the ones we wanted to, missed one and bits of others. I only wish theyd give reduced rates for children so they could enjoy the experience with us.

    They did say they would consider this for 2011 but nothing has happened and £400 + accommodation is a lot of money.

    What an amazing day! from Christine, 24/02/11

  • 2/3 cup(s) sugar, divided
  • 3 large egg(s), lightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe Tip:

88% less sat fat • 71% more protein than the original recipe—see the comparison.

1.  Preheat oven to 325°F. To caramelize sugar: In an 8-inch heavy skillet, cook 1/3 cup sugar over medium-high heat until sugar starts to melt, shaking skillet occasionally to heat sugar evenly. Do not stir. Once sugar starts to melt, reduce heat to low. Cook about 5 minutes or until all of the sugar is melted and golden brown, stirring as needed with a wooden spoon.
2.  Immediately divide caramelized sugar among four 6-ounce custard cups; tilt cups to coat bottoms evenly. Cool slightly.
3.  Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine eggs, yogurt, 1/3 cup sugar, and vanilla.
4.  Place custard cups in 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Divide egg mixture among custard cups. Place baking pan on oven rack. Pour hottest tap water available into baking pan around custard cups to a depth of about ½ inch.
5.  Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife inserted near centers comes out clean. Remove cups from water. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill flans in cups for 4 to 24 hours.
6.  To unmold flans, loosen edges with a knife, slipping point between flans and sides of custard cups. Invert a dessert plate over each flan; turn over plate and custard cup together. Remove cups from flans. Spoon any caramelized sugar that remains in cups on top of flans.

So you think your dog is smart? A Border collie named Chaser managed to learn the names of 1,022 objects over three years, say U.S. researchers.

It's likely she could have learned the names of more objects, but the training was stopped because of time constraints, said the team at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C.

Chaser's ability to learn and remember the names of so many objects was tested repeatedly under carefully controlled conditions. She understands that the names refer to specific objects, independent of commands such as fetch.

The study is published online in the journal Behavioural Processes.

"This research is important because it demonstrates that dogs, like children, can develop extensive vocabularies and understand that certain words represent individual objects and other words represent categories of objects, independent in meaning of what one is asked to do with those objects," researcher Alliston Reid said in a journal news release.

Further research is needed to find out if other breeds of dogs have similar language capacity.

"very nice looking definatly get it no cons all pros
by Hicham E. on 2011-12-14 17:29:38
"For all of you skeptics out there, be a believer. These little mag assists are extremely useful for quickly switching magazines. If you really take a look at the design, MagPul actually put a lot more detail into these diminutive accessories than what meets the eye at first. The lower part of the mag assist where you put your finger has a hill-like shape to it and a nice grip texture to it. When you look at it, it seems like the whole thing has a rough texture to it, but its smooth and has a cool feel to it. The trademarks enhance the overall look of it. One side says 5.56 NATO CAGE 1LX50 and the other side says MAGPUL PAT. 6,212,815. I hear that the common belief for the mag assists is that they are easy to slip on and you need tape to keep them secure onto the magazine. I will tell you that's NOT true. First off, they are pretty difficult to get on an M4 magazine. You kind of have to get one end in and then stretch the other end to get it on the other side of the magazine. Then sliding it down to the correct position is pretty easy. Contrary to popular belief, you do NOT have to use tape to keep it on, at least for M4 mags. They stay extremely tight onto the mag, and the only way to get them off is by pulling it but not pressing the mag release. Overall very good product, especially for the fact that they only cost $3.31 a piece. I would recommend this to anyone who needs to speed up their magazine-switching time and wants to spice up their good.

P.S. - They look REALLY good on tan mags

Phantom Custom WE "CQB Master Alpha" Airsoft GBB Gas Blowback Pistol (NG3 System / Two Mags Package)
$130.00 $110.00
by Don K. Date Added: Monday 10 June, 2013
This is the best gbb pistol i have owned. The split slide creates a higher rate of fire and looks great, and the magwell and trades only add to the look. With the 31 round mags, you can go for a while on this thing, and the gas lasts for at least a mag and a half. I only had two small cons, which was the slide didn't always lock back when I was out of rounds (can be fixed with a replaced slide lock, only like 5 bucks), and the front end can become loose (easily fixed with the included allen wrench) overall, the best pistol for the money. I would recommend it highly.
Also, this thing is amazing in CQB if you dual wield them :)

Today's Evil Beet Gossip

Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are BFF again!

selena gomez taylor swift

Shh, quiet – do you hear that? It’s the sound of heavenly angels rejoicing over the fact that Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift are BFFs again! Just when it seemed that all was lost between the two, they reunited for last night’s Met Gala in New York and showed the world how glamour and elegance are done… or something.

It’s nice to see the two of them are okay – maybe Taylor can be a good influence on Selena (or maybe this reconciliation is temporary, until she decides to reconcile with Justin Bieber again).

A behind-the-scenes look at ''Holes'' | EW.com

A behind-the-scenes look at ''Holes''

A behind-the-scenes look at ''Holes.'' Time will tell if the best-selling kids' book will be an ace for Disney on screen

(Holes: Tony Barbera)

You are to dig one hole each day, including Saturdays and Sundays. Each hole must be five feet deep, and five feet across in every direction. Your shovel is your measuring stick.

If you’re not smiling knowingly at the previous paragraph, well, you don’t know ”Holes.” And if you don’t know ”Holes,” you should be smiling. Sheepishly, because you are oblivious to a property that’s almost as hot as ”Potter.” Published in 1998, Louis Sachar’s ”Holes” nabbed both the Newbery Medal and the National Book Award for kid lit. ”’Holes’ was a phenomenon from the get-go,” says Beverly Horowitz, VP and publisher of Knopf Delacorte Dell Young Readers Group. ”It had that rare quality that made it seem as if it were a classic as soon as it was published.” A classic that kids (and not a few adults) actually like: Last week, ”Holes” was entrenched at No. 11 on the USA Today best-seller list, topping even John Grisham’s ”The King of Torts.” With 2.7 million copies in print, this five-year-old kids’ novel is outselling most new fiction.

It’s that cultish following that hooked Walden Media. In 2001, Walden, created by educator Micheal Flaherty and former Dimension Films head Cary Granat, had just received hefty backing from billionaire Philip Anschutz. What to do with the booty? They canvassed teachers and students across the country about books they’d most like to see as movies. ”Without question, ‘Holes’ was off the charts,” says Flaherty. ”It was always the No. 1 request, right up there with ‘Harry Potter.”’ (Flaherty knows from cherished kids’ books: Walden, which has a two-year distribution deal with Disney, also won the rights to ”Around the World in Eighty Days” and C.S. Lewis’ ”The Chronicles of Narnia.”)

For those who have yet to dig in, may we take this moment to fill in some ”Holes”? Stanley Yelnats, a pudgy palindromic outcast middle schooler, is sent to a work camp for juvenile offenders after being falsely accused of filching sneakers. There, while dodging deadly yellow-spotted lizards, he and his fellow troubled Texans are forced to dig a hole each day. Ostensibly, this will build character. In reality, something fishy’s going on. Hint: It involves the flashback stories featuring everything from an Old West teacher who falls in love with a black man to Stanley’s no-good, pig-stealing great-great-grandfather.

Sachar, a Berkeley grad whose move to steamy Austin inspired the hellish ”Holes” locale, wasn’t so sure his 17th kids’ book (and first runaway hit) should go Hollywood. Not until director Andrew Davis showed up with a resume that included ”Under Siege” and ”The Fugitive.” ”He’s done a lot of action films and I liked that,” the author says. ”I was glad there was someone who’d keep it tough as well as gentle.” Tone deftness was assured when Davis talked Sachar, now 49, into writing the screenplay. ”I wanted his involvement,” Davis says. ”I wanted him to like the movie.” Fans who show up for the April 18 opening will see a fairly faithful adaptation. The most controversial change: Stanley is no longer chubby, as the favorite actor turned out to be downright skinny – Shia LaBeouf, star of the Disney Channel’s ”Even Stevens.” ”I’d [been] pushing for a big kid,” Sachar says. ”But Shia still conveys the sense of vulnerability, but with a spark.” LaBeouf (who with his film inmates endured a two-week ”boot camp” to prep for the California desert shoot) really dug Stanley. ”He goes from not being able to help himself to being able to help everybody around him,” says the 16-year-old.

'How I Met Your Mother' 100th episode: One foot in the door | EW.com

News | PopWatch

'How I Met Your Mother' 100th episode: One foot in the door

I don’t know about you, PopWatchers, but when I tuned into How I Met Your Mother’s 100th episode last night, I expected to get a little song and dance – loved the big “Nothing Suits Me Like a Suit” production number at the end (see video below), especially when Barney told Lily to get her head out of her ass – and a lot of Rachel Bilson adorability. In fact, as the episode got underway, I found myself thinking what a great casting choice she was for Cindy, Ted’s PhD-candidate crush: After cycling through (and rejecting) Ashley Williams, Sarah Chalke, and Cobie Smulders, the HIMYM casting department has got to be scrambling to find someone sufficiently charming to play the inevitable Mom, and O.C. survivor Bilson would have totally done it for me.

As we’ve since learned (SPOILER ALERT, for those concerned that HIMYM might have blown their ending at a random point midway through the fifth season), Bilson is not the mother – but she’s closer than we’ve ever been. In fact, this was, to me, the most jarring episode of any TV show all year! Here we are, wandering innocently along on this journey to find Your Mother, being given a clue here, a clue there…and then suddenly out of nowhere and with no warning they show us her FOOT?

Yes, thanks to last night’s episode, we now know that Ted’s eventual wife is Cindy’s roommate, is taking Econ 305 (the class Ted mistakenly tried to teach on his first day at Columbia), owns a little yellow school bus toy, plays bass in a band, reads TC Boyle, likes the Unicorns, and that all men fall in love with her instead of Cindy. (Poor Cindy.) Also, we saw her FOOT. This was something akin to giving a starving man eyedroppers of sugar water for five years, and then hitting him in the face with a pie. Happily, I like pie.

What did you think about last night’s episode, PopWatchers? Did they sorta bury the lede by focusing so much on the dancing in suits? Or was that just crafty misdirection? And now that we’ve crossed Bilson off the list of potential Moms, who’s left in your fantasy casting pool?

Survivor season finale recap: Cagayan' Season Finale Recap: How To Lose A Million Dollars |

Survivor season finale recap: How To Lose A Million Dollars

Woo channels the ghost of Colby Donaldson, and hands away a million dollars to Tony in the process

Survivor Finale

FEARSOME FOURSOME One of the people in this photo is getting closer to making a super costly blunder (CBS)

Season 28, Ep. 13 | Aired May 21

“I’d be the stupidest Survivor player taking Tony to the end.”— Woo Hwang

Oh, boy. The second those words escaped the lips of Ninja Stealth Woo, you had to have a sneaky suspicion that they would come back to haunt him. And haunt him they did. Because Woo did win the final immunity competition and did get to choose whom to bring with him to the finals. And when the moment came to make that fateful decision, Woo did the most inexplicable thing possible — he took Tony to the end. So, to be clear, I am not the one calling Woo the stupidest Survivor player ever — he is calling himself that.

And he is on to something with that assessment, because guess what? Woo had won the money! The million dollars was his! All he had to do was pick Kass and that would have ensured three different things. 1) It would be the worst final two in Survivor history. 2) It would guarantee that notorious final two hater Jeff Probst would never, ever go back to that format ever again, and if you argued for it, all he would have to say is “Woo vs. Kass” and you would have no choice but to slink away in defeat. And 3) Woo would become an automatic millionaire.

But no, instead of taking his place as one of the worst winners in Survivor history — but a winner nonetheless — Woo morphed into freakin’ Colby Donaldson, choosing honor and integrity over intelligence. Look, I’m not trying to bash Woo. I love the guy and would totally want to hang out with him and have a beer while saying words like “rad” and “stoked” a lot. But this was a terrible, terrible move and deserves to be called out as such. There is a separation between “in game” and “out of game.” You can have all the honor and integrity in the world outside of the game, but the point of Survivor is not to have the most honor; it is to make the best strategic moves possible, and the only strategic move Woo controlled all season was a flat-out awful one. And it cost him a million dollars. The first five codes of Taekwondo may be discipline, integrity, loyalty, respect, and harmony between mind and body, but it is never wise to neglect the rarely publicized sixth code: DON’T BE A MORON!!!

But thank God he did make that move, or, as I said, we would have had Woo vs. Kass. Would that have been the worst final 2 ever? Probably, right? I mean, Neleh vs. Vecepia was not exactly a clash of the titans, but this would have been right up (down?) there. And it would have been a real bummer of a way to close out this incredible season. Instead, Woo made his epic blunder and we got ourselves a worthy winner. And yes, Tony is a worthy winner. With apologies to Boston Rob on the Redemption Island season, Tony played what has to be considered the most aggressive game from start to finish we have ever seen from a champion. (Not the best, but the most aggressive.) Sometimes his moves were positively maddening and sometimes he acted without thinking through the consequences of said actions, but the dude was always playing the game. As a fan of the show, even if you did not love Tony, you had to love and respect that effort. That’s what we want from people that go out and play the game — to play the game. And so thanks to Woo, we were able to tie a proper bow on this terrific installment. But there is so much else to get to and touch on from this three hour finale/reunion extravaganza, so let’s get to it from the very top.

We begin the same way every finale begins, with a recap of the season so far. Wait, no it doesn’t! Instead, he have Jeff Probst coming at us from the comfy confines of CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles, California ordering us to eat snacks, call our friends, and use CBS approved hashtags. After that introduction we head back to the Philippines for the aforementioned recap. Oh, look! There’s Tony’s spy shack! There’s Woo falling out of a tree! And there’s a montage of Spencer celebrations and tantrums! No doubt we will be seeing at least one more of those this evening. Then the final four returns from getting rid of Trish and we discover that Spencer and Kass had no idea Tony was also going to vote her out. Kass tells us in the morning that, “Tony is an idiot” for making this move because when it comes to the jury “I’m pretty sure everybody dislikes Trish.” Which begs the question, how exactly do you think they feel about you, Kass?

NEXT: Enter the loved ones!

Competitive Angles Have Crystallized

By Clint Boulton  |  Posted 2009-12-12 Print this article Print

"So these recent moves are consistent with legitimate strategies from both companies, and the properties did seem to end up with the firms that needed them the most. Lala is closer to Apple's media core, and Apple has largely cornered the mobile media market; Google is the leader in online advertising and has clearly cornered that market. Both are affectively assuring their respective near monopolies."

The Google Voice debacle set this cold but warming confrontation off like a wildfire. Last summer, Google submitted a version of its Google Voice phone management app to the Apple App Store, but Apple rejected it.

Apple said it denied Google Voice because its features compete with iPhone's feature set, but Google Voice cannot connect calls. That is set to change after Google bought softphone maker Gizmo5, which will enable Google Voice to connect those calls. This is yet another step where Google is moving closer to Apple's turf; but the rabbit hole goes deeper.

Google offers Android as an open-source, mobile operating system alternative to proprietary platforms such as the iPhone, and the Android-based Motorola Droid is selling well. But rumor has it that Google is building its own phone to sell, similar to the way Apple distributes the iPhone. This so-called Google Phone will feature Google Voice, allowing to Google to do on an Android phone what Apple barred it from doing on the iPhone.

Google and Apple are also vying for mobile application dominance. Google recently launched Google Maps Navigation, a free GPS application for some Android phones that obviates the need to buy a GPS device or application to run on Apple's iPhone.

This GPS app is not yet available for platforms other than Android. Meanwhile, Apple, which uses Google Maps on its iPhones, acquired mapping software maker Placebase this year, and it is believed Apple will try to replace Google Maps with this technology.

There are other areas where Google and Apple are crossing swords that don't involve phones or Google Voice. Google built the Chrome Web browser and Chrome Operating System. The former competes with Apple's Safari browser, while the latter will be a computer platform alternative to machines running Apple's Mac OS X.

The competitive fronts have crystallized, Enderle agreed:

"The way Steve [Jobs] handled the firing of Eric Schmidt from his board was very personal, and I think that has focused Google more solidly on Apple and Apple more solidly on Google.  Much like Google's initial focus on destroying Microsoft appeared largely driven by a personal dislike for that company that cut across its executive leadership, these recent moves appear to be tied to a personal dislike that has grown between the CEOs.

"We often talk about excessive power and the connection to 'evil' behavior, but, in my experience, excessive power can also result in avoidable battles between two companies that aren't natural competitors."

Microsoft Delivers Git Support in Team Foundation Server

By Darryl K. Taft  |  Posted 2013-01-30 Print this article Print

At the ALM Summit, Microsoft announced it is now supporting open-source Git version control on its Team Foundation Server (TFS).

Microsoft has announced that its Team Foundation Server (TFS) will provide support for hosting Git repositories, the popular open-source distributed version control system (DVCS).

Brian Harry, a Microsoft technical fellow and product unit manager for TFS, announced the news at the ALM Summit Jan. 30 at Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., campus. He said Microsoft will include Git support in the next major release of TFS, although no date for that release has yet been announced.

Harry said Microsoft is building Git integration into its Visual Studio flagship development platform, where it will have all the support of Solution Explorer and the plug-in will work with Microsoft's hosted Git service as well as any other Git service.

Microsoft also is announcing the availability of a Community Technology Preview (CTP) of the Git plug-in for Visual Studio 2012. Meanwhile, developers will still be able to use the TFS version-control system, known as Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC), which Harry said he believes is the best centralized version-control system available. Both TFS support for Git repositories and the CTP of the plug-in are available as of Jan. 30.

The latest version of TFS shipped at the end of 2012 with support for agile planning, code review, a feedback tool and a story-boarding tool among other features.

"We knew we needed a DVCS solution and we looked at building our own or buying one and building it out," Harry said. "Then we looked at what was out there and it became clear that Git was winning out in the DVCS community."

In a blog post about Microsoft's TFS support for Git, Harry said this move has been a long time in the making.

Harry also described and defended Microsoft's decision to adopt an open-source technology for a crucial role, noting that there were a few who dissented. "There were others who were concerned about open source and lack of 'control' issues," he said. "But the more we looked at it, the more it looked like the right thing to do."

Harry added, "Git hasn't been as friendly for Windows developers as on other platforms. By building on Git, we can take all the time we might spend just 'catching up' and spend that effort on something where we can add more distinctive value. Choosing Git just made sense."

Microsoft has made overtures in the open-source application lifecycle management (ALM) space. Last summer, the company released a tool called Git-TF, which allows you to hook Git up to TFVC and exchange code and the team will be doing more to improve this area, he said.

"We recognize the incredible value the open-source software community has brought to Git," Harry said. "One of the particular things we'll focus on is bridging Git into the enterprise," he added.

The software giant also acquired Teamprise years ago to enhance integration between the .NET world and Eclipse. However, this move with Git is the deepest Harry's team has gone with open-source software.

"This is certainly the first time that my team has engaged so deeply in an existing OSS project," Harry said in his post. "Our Git implementation is based on LibGit2 and related projects. We started contributing to LibGit2 a few months ago and have been very active."

"Here at GitHub, we've always had great plans for libgit2: we wanted an open-source library without restrictive licensing that would allow us to power our back-end infrastructure and our desktop clients," said Vicent Marti, a developer at GitHub who helped develop libgit2. "With the current iteration of libgit2, we can finally call Git a native citizen in the Windows world. Microsoft's contributions to the project have been critical to making this happen."

Talks first step to help Queenstown

Premier Will Hodgman and Braddon Liberal MHA Adam Brooks in Queenstown yesterday.

Premier Will Hodgman and Braddon Liberal MHA Adam Brooks in Queenstown yesterday.

THE government has announced the first step in navigating a way through the effects of Mount Lyell ceasing mining operations.

Premier Will Hodgman and several other Liberal MHAs travelled to Queenstown yesterday to talk with more than 100 locals at the council offices.

The scramble for action was taken after Copper Mines of Tasmania announced on Wednesday the Mount Lyell mine would remain closed, with only 15 staff kept on for maintenance.

The first meeting will be today and will include politicians and a government representative, a union representative and Mount Lyell's general manager Scot Clyde.

They will choose several community members to join the working group.

The group's chairman, Braddon MHA Adam Brooks, said the government wanted to hear from the community.

"What we want to know is what the community would like us to focus on," Mr Brooks said.

Mr Brooks said there would be no easy solutions.

"It's going to be tough."

However, Mr Brooks said the mine could have a future.

The group will make its first report to government in three months, and a final report in six months, but locals are concerned people could leave before then.

Mr Hodgman said throwing money around would not solve the problem.

"I think it would be entirely inappropriate ... to wave a blank chequebook around," Mr Hodgman said.

The government will look at getting some projects moving faster on the West Coast, like the $750,000 package promised before the election.

Part of that package is $250,000 to help West Coasters access training for local industries, like aquaculture.

Queenstown Connect has written a project proposal for a skills training centre.

Retraining would be important, Mr Hodgman said.

He too warned there would be no quick fix.

Fight HIV with good bacteria

A group of researchers in the United States has found certain "good" bacterial communities which change HIV infection and replication among other sexually transmitted diseases.

The team has been able to grow human vaginal cells outside women and create surfaces on which both bad and good complex bacterial communities can thrive. It is the "first vaginal mucosal culture model that supports colonization by both healthy and dysbiotic VMB [vaginal microbiomes] from vaginal swabs collected from routine gynecological patients." Previous methods were unsuccessful.

The human vagina maintains its health aided by the good bacteria that survive on vaginal skin cell products. The bacteria create a chemical and physical defense against bad bacteria and viruses like HIV. The new testing method lets scientists study this relationship enabling them to determine the protective bacteria from the harmful varieties.

The model will also allow the study of vaginal applicants, both prescription drugs and contraceptives and over-the-counter products like douches. This has been difficult or impossible in the past in clinical trials. Now it will be possible to test current and future antimicrobial drugs and their interaction with the bacteria in a carefully controlled environment.

Richard Pyles at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston led the research scientists from multiple disciplines at UTMB and the Oak Crest Institute of Science in Pasadena, California. Their results were published on March 27, 2014 in the PLOS One journal.

Watch the video about a study done in China that showed condoms help boost the number of beneficial bacteria in women.

Roughnecks beat best team in NLL

Calgary Roughnecks
Calgary Roughnecks
Google Images

According to the National Lacrosse League website on Saturday, the Calgary Roughnecks narrowly beat the Edmonton Rush 14-13 at the Scotiabank Saddledome in National Lacrosse League action. The victory was significant because it was only the second loss the Rush have had all season long. It also gave the Roughnecks a lot of momentum heading into the postseason.

The game was an excellent one for Roughnecks forward Curtis Dickson of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Dickson scored seven goals including the overtime winner from Jon Harnett at 4:13 of the extra period. Dickson had three goals in the second quarter, two goals in the third quarter and one goal in the fourth quarter.

Daryl Veltman of Brampton, Ontario and Dane Dobbie of Elora, Ontario each had seven point games. Veltman and Dobbie each had a goal and six assists.

Dickson's offensive statistics were impressive on Saturday, but he needs to pass the ball a little bit more. The bottom line is he might be a little easier for the Rush to defend once playoff time rolls around if they are expecting Dickson to shoot the ball regularly. On Saturday, he led the Roughnecks with not only seven goals and 18 shots, but zero assists in the box score.

With the victory, Calgary improves to 11-6 and Edmonton drops to 15-2. The Roughnecks will close out the regular season on Saturday, April 26 against the Vancouver Stealth.

The Stealth meanwhile were eliminated from playoff contention on Saturday evening following the Colorado Mammoth's 18-12 win over the Minnesota Swarm. With the victory, the Mammoth will play the Roughnecks in the National Lacrosse League West Division semifinal on Saturday, May 3. The game will be played at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, with the winner playing the Edmonton Rush in the National Lacrosse League West Division final the following weekend.

Ski Gear Review: Pakems shoes put comfort in apres-ski

Designed by former attorney-turned-entrepreneur Julie Adams, Pakems shoes live up to their name in that they are packable. The winter version is basically an insulated, water-resistant, high-top slipper with a rubber sole that allows it to be worn outdoors. Adams originally intended for the shoes to be worn for après-ski and they are indeed very comfortable and well-suited to that purpose.

Pakems and Beaver Creek Resort have partnered to offer apres-ski shoes to visitors.
Pakems at Beaver Creek- Eric Wagnon

The shoe uppers compress flat, so Pakems fit easily in a pack. Each pair comes with a carry bag that can also be used inside a larger backpack to keep dirt on the shoes away from other items.

The stiff rubber sole provides good traction outside on snow and ice. On the downside, the stiffness prevents the shoe from being folded up lengthwise. As a result, ski-jacket pockets must be fairly large for the shoes to fit inside them.

Although après-ski may have been the inspiration for Pakems, the shoes are also perfect for travel to-and-from the slopes. They are easy at the TSA security checkpoint and comfy on a long plane ride.

Introduced in 2013, Pakems could be in the early stages of a fashion trend. Known for pampering its guests, Beaver Creek Resort in Colorado is offering free Pakems to borrow for après-ski each day this season.

On the other end of the skier spectrum, hardcore backcountry enthusiasts have found the shoes to be handy on hut trips. For example, Tony Cammarata, director of the Arapahoe Basin Ski Patrol, swears by them for his backcountry ventures.

Made by the Colorado-based company, Apres Gear, Pakems shoes are available at various retailers, the Sahalie catalog, and on the Pakems website. The high-top Pakems are $70 per pair. A low-top alternative costs $60 per pair.

Earn Your Diploma, Online, Fast!

Online High School Diploma

It’s Never too Late to go Back…

If you are a high school dropout, you are not alone. Every nine seconds, someone in the US drops out of high school. Have you ever thought about going back and earning your high school diploma online? Experts agree that it is never too late to go back and finish school, and to earn a high school diploma online. A great way to do this is to search for online high schools that offer adult completion programs. Earning a high school diploma online is a convenient way to meet college entrance requirements.

In today’s challenging job market, it is more difficult than ever to find gainful employment. More and more employers’ are requiring job applicants to have a comprehensive educational background. This means that in many cases, job applicants will need to have at minimum a high school diploma or equivalent. What kinds of people attend an online high school? People just like you are returning to school and earning their high school diploma online.

There are many online options to complete a high school diploma online. A growing number of online high schools offer self paced and affordable high school diploma completion programs; so you will not have to worry about attending courses at a specific date or time. Simply login when it’s convenient for you, and study at your own pace. Asynchronous learning has become the practical method of most online high schools. This means, you can login and complete course work at anytime that best fits your schedule. If you are worried that attending high school online will be difficult, put your fears aside. Most online high schools have easy to use learning management systems (LMS) which makes it simple to navigate and access coursework, read text books and access online exams.

You may have left high school right before senior graduation, or you may have left during the tenth grade. In any case, it is never too late to finish what you have once started. It is particularly important to choose an accredited online school. The first thing you should do is to research the school through the State Department of Education and through the Better Business Bureau. Choosing a Better Business Bureau accredited organization is always recommended. Ask questions about the school’s accreditation and make sure the diploma is valid in the United States. After all, if you cannot use your high school diploma, then what good is it? Since the late 1990’s students have been completing their high school diploma requirements online. Earning a high school diploma online is not a new way to complete high school.

There are several unscrupulous websites that have no authority to issue diplomas; but will be happy to accept your payment in turn for a worthless piece of paper. When selecting an online high school diploma program, be sure the school passes the “smell test”. Ask if your online high school diploma will be accepted by colleges and employers. Ask is the school is regionally or nationally accredited, by an agency located within the United States. Be certain to ask if the school employs credentialed and state licensed teachers. Ask for access to a course demo or to sample a program. Ask to review the school diploma course catalog. Every credible school will have course descriptions for all of their course offerings.

Most online high schools are private organizations that are not funded or operated by a State or Federal Government Agency. That being said, you will need to be prepared to pay tuition costs to the school. Online high school diploma programs rage in prince from a few hundred dollars, to a few thousand dollars. According to State compulsory laws, your State no longer pays for secondary education after the student reaches age eighteen. That means your State is not compelled to pay for secondary school tuition, if you did not graduate high school by age nineteen. Most online schools offer flexible and affordable installment plans.

If you feel the time is right to complete an online high school diploma program, we suggest you do access your favorite search engine, and let your fingers do the walking. We strongly recommend that you call several online high schools and ask good questions, before many any commitments. Be leery of any high pressure sales tactics; and always ask the school if they offer a 100% money back guarantee for all services they offer.

High School graduates earn on average $ 333,000 more than a high school drop out over the period of their lifetime. If you have ever thought about finishing high school, applying to an online high school might just be the answer you have been looking for to earn your high school diploma online. What are you waiting for? Enroll today and build a better future.

Pilgrim Farming

John Stossel notes that the Pilgrims learned that communal farming didn't work. An excerpt:

What Plymouth suffered under communalism was what economists today call the tragedy of the commons []. But the problem has been known since ancient Greece. As Aristotle noted, "That which is common to the greatest number has the least care bestowed upon it."

When action is divorced from consequences, no one is happy with the ultimate outcome. If individuals can take from a common pot regardless of how much they put in it, each person has an incentive to be a free rider, to do as little as possible and take as much as possible because what one fails to take will be taken by someone else. Soon, the pot is empty and will not be refilled -- a bad situation even for the earlier takers.

What private property does -- as the Pilgrims discovered -- is connect effort to reward, creating an incentive for people to produce far more. Then, if there's a free market, people will trade their surpluses to others for the things they lack. Mutual exchange for mutual benefit makes the community richer.

Excellent post, one which should be noted every year. It reminds me of the movie "Goodfellas" where the mobsters got most of their stolen goods from truck drivers who had no real interest in delivering the material so were glad to hand it over for a nominal amount to the mob. If instead those truck drivers had bought the goods themselves with the hopes of selling it, the mob wouldn't have been able to exist.

My point, any time ownership is allowed to be in the hands of as many people as possible, crime has no incentive, production increases, and plenty is the result.

BIG BOB & HOLDING COMPANY  1CD (HD-9603D)  29 Jun 96 Prince's Trust
   Hyde Park, UK + 2 Sept 95 R&R HOF Cleveland + Frank Sinatra tribute
  Tracks: 11   Time: 70    Source: Stereo TV Broadcasts  Quality: Excellent
 An outstanding Japanese release containing the complete broadcast
portion of Bob's set from the Prince's Trust Concert in magnificent
quality. With special guests Ron Wood and Al Kooper, Bob proceeds to
blister through Leopard Skin, Silvio & Highway 61 w/unbridled energy
and clear, precise vocal flair. Leopard Skin is particularly tasteful,
what with Kooper's killer piano fills and Bob's harp blowin' through the
park like there's no tomorrow. A killer blues rock stomper it is. Tom
Thumb is enlivened by Kooper's organ and Bucky's distinctive steel, while
the lyrics brought a tear to my eye:

        ....I cannot move so good, my fingers are all in a knot
        I don't have the strength
        To get up and take another shot
        And my best friend, my doctor
        Won't even tell me what it is I got
(Funny how I was compelled to keep playing that verse over and over, despite
the fact that I was getting progressively sadder w/each play, imagining Bob
in the hospital & having no control over the situation).

Positively 4th is also performed with gusto and takes on an even greater
poignancy due to the events of late.  The quality is perfect and Bob is in
excellent voice. A shame they decided not to air Tangled & Don't Think
2X from the acoustic set. Also axed were Watchtower and 7Days w/Wood on
vocals. Thus far, this CD is the only release of the 5 broadcast trax.

The R&R HOF trax have been reviewed ad nauseum and released on many
other disks, as has the "Restless Farewell" from Sinatra. IMO, the HOF
trax are found in better quality on Pledging My Time, while the "RF" on this
collection is in pristine, crystal clear quality and is as good as it gets.

Some lines from the last verse of "Restless Farewell" seem oh so timely:
  "Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
   To disgrace, distract, and bother me.
   And the dirt of gossip blows into my face
   And the dust of rumor covers me........
   So I'll make my stand
   And remain as I am
   And bid farewell and not give a damn"
(Here's to bidding farewell to that hospital bed!!!)

One final note-unlike a lot of Japanese releases, this one is stunning
w/a gorgeous color cover, interesting graphics and a clear tray w/photo
behind. The back cover is graced with a wonderful color pic of Bob & Ron
1995 1996 1997 1998 T-list CDs

Easy check in and very relaxed atmosphere. Several languages spoken by staff. Easy to get to Dubrovnik by no 6 bus - only takes about 10 mins or so. Try and book a room with a balcony facing the sea - well worth the extra - but rooms are very comfy if the budget doesn't quite stretch this far. Breakfast is amazing so take your time and enjoy! Both pools are big enough to have a proper swim. Poolside is very relaxing with drinks and food available. Hotel is near beach which is a bit crowded in high season. There are some basic shops nearby and places to eat outside of the hotel although a meal out in Dubrovnik in the evening is a must! View from the top of cable car in Dubrovnik is fantastic - go in readiness for the sunset. The museum at the top is worth a visit. Take a day trip or two and see the beautiful Dalmation coast.

We landed in Taipei at around 8:30pm, and ended up at the nearest station, XImen Station, at maybe like 11:30pm. We were worried that they wouldn't let us check in after midnight, so we were kind of in a hurry to get there. We showed up at about 11:45pm, and the staff was completely nice and understanding. One of the staff has pretty good English, and the rest seemed to be good enough to get by (better than some of the other locals, but not great). They always greeted me with a smile, and were very friendly. The room was larger than I was expecting. Our bed was basically two twin beds pushed together. The room certainly felt a lot cleaner than the town around us. Sometimes the shower drain was a little slow, but sometimes it wasn't... I'm not sure what makes the difference. When we checked out, we asked them to have a taxi to the airport ready for us. Since we don't speak Chinese, they got a taxi all lined up for us, and had the fare already figured out, NT$1200.

    Ximending Hotels Guide

    Sometimes called the Harajuku of Taipei, this fashion and shopping area in the northern part of Wanhua District has a thriving Japanese subculture. Closed to cars, its busy pedestrian avenues bustle with the intensity of Times Square. Ximending's many clubs draw young people from around the city and contain a lively LGBT community. Mengjia Longshan Temple is a 20 minute walk to the south.
