REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Quirky: City house offers privacy, convenience
ADDRESS: 110 Warren Lane
NEIGHBORHOOD: Meadowbrook in Charlottesville
SIZE: 3,626 fin. sq. ft.
LAND: 0.95 acres
CURB APPEAL: 7.5 out of 10
AGENT: Tim Michel, McLean Faulconer Inc. 295-1131
This Cape Cod cottage sits off a cul-de-sac at the end of a narrow city side street on a one-acre hilltop lot. With added wings– a family room on one end and garage on the other– it consciously imitates the older estates dotting Western Albemarle, but it's too small and too urban for the option of the lucrative County tax shelter known as "land use." Pity!
Around here, nothing eases the guilt of financial success like being considered a friend of the environment– and being paid for the privilege. However, there's ample room– and grazing– in the lea here for a token alpaca or two. Stone walls and hedges, azaleas and dogwoods, and a meadow of grass and clover surround the house.
Strolling the tranquil grounds, it's easy to forget we're in the city and less than a mile from the 250 Bypass. There's even a small stream. Completing the bucolic theme, an outhouse sits near the back yard, but it appears– like the wishing well and concrete chickens nearby– more decorative than practical. (However, we didn't look or sniff too closely.)
A screened porch and deck overlook the back yard, resplendent with the spring blooms and nary a house in sight. Not many parcels in the city relieve privacy-craving residents of the obligatory twice-a-day "Hello, how ya' doing?" to neighbors. But in this area such privacy is the norm rather than the exception. We also suspect a framed PhD graces the office wall of every third house in the Greenbrier and Rugby neighborhoods. For us, these tours drive home that Mr. Jefferson's University is a massive local employer.
This house is true to form: while we didn't see the actual degree, built-in shelves in the ground-floor office of the current owner, a former UVA professor and author, still brim with books and papers. Accessible from the one-car garage, it's big enough to be converted to a fourth (and possibly master) bedroom. Knotty pine in the first-floor guest room is dated but cozy. In the family room at the opposite end of the original house, a brick wall identifies it as a later addition with a picture window and one side of a double fireplace.
Overall, the inside may strike some as kitschy and in need of updating. As with many houses we tour, the trade-off for solid postwar construction is that not much has changed. Here, the wooden framed windows, faux brick tile in the foyer and downstairs hall, and drop ceilings in the guest room and basement all date to the time when, as Billy Joel sang, "Cold War kids were hard to kill, under their desks in an air raid drill."
Although the wooden kitchen cabinets appear to have gone in during the East-West standoff, they're more Reagan than Ike. Détente between a Yeltsin-era tile backsplash and Nixon's Formica countertops teach us that two very different systems can coexist peacefully. Although we'd really like to mention Rocky IV, there's alas no metaphor to link that classic time capsule of Cold War drama to the fairly modern appliances, or anything else in the kitchen. So we end our reverie, amazed that we almost pine for that simpler, bipolar world.
Upstairs, two bedrooms with dormers and curved stucco walls and ceilings share a full bath.
The basement is also dated and oddly laid out, but it has a legal apartment with walkout access on the side and in the rear. On the owner's side, a family room doubles as a laundry room with a high-efficiency washer and dryer.
House hunters seeking a balance between privacy and a short commute should take a look here. While the alpacas are optional, a doctorate– with its commensurate professor's salary– is probably a must.

- 1 1/2 cups Thai black sticky rice*
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 mango, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 (13.5-ounce) can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 6 sprigs fresh mint, for garnish
- In a large bowl, combine the rice and enough water to cover by 2-inches. Soak for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours. Drain.
- Place a bamboo steamer inside a wok or large pot. Line the steamer with parchment paper. Add enough water to the wok or pot to come up just below the bottom steamer rack, 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Bring the water to a boil. Add the rice to the bottom steamer rack, pour 1 cup of boiling water over the rice, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and steam until rice is tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the rice to a bowl. (At this point the coconut sauce should be made and ready to pour over the steamed rice.)
- While the rice is steaming, prepare the mango syrup and the coconut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the diced mango, lemon juice, water, and 1/2 cup of the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes or until the fruit is very tender. Pour the mixture into a food processor and puree until smooth. Remove and chill the mango mixture for 30 minutes.
- To make the coconut sauce, combine the coconut milk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Pour over the steamed rice, mix well, cover and set aside until most of the liquid is absorbed, 30 to 45 minutes.
- To serve, spoon 1/2 cup of the rice pudding into each of 6 shallow bowls. Arrange strawberry slices on top of the pudding and drizzle the mango syrup over the top of the pudding. Garnish each with mint sprigs and serve at room temperature. (This dessert is best before it has been refrigerated.)
- *Thai black rice can be found in most Asian supermarkets. If unavailable, glutinous white rice can be substituted, but won't have the nutty flavor of the black rice. One cup of dried black rice yields 2 cups of cooked rice.
- Cook's Note: When using a bamboo steamer and a wok for steaming, we place marbles (or ceramic pie weights) in the bottom of the wok with the water. When the marbles begin to rattle, add more water to the bottom of the pan. This helps to keep the wok or pan from scorching the bamboo steamer.

Uptick(redirected from Plus-Tick)
Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus.
On an exchange, a transaction in which a security was traded at the higher price than its previous trade. Some regulations and rules on exchanges only permit certain transactions following an uptick or a zero-plus tick, though some, such as the short sale rule, have become obsolete with increased digitalization of the market. An uptick is also called a plus tick.
An upward price movement for a security transaction compared with the preceding transaction of the same security. Also called plus tick. Compare downtick.
An uptick is the smallest possible incremental increase in a security's price, which, for stocks, is one cent. So when there's an uptick in a stock selling at $20.25 cents, the new price is $20.26 cents.

Wisconsin missing woman case now considered homicide
Stephanie Low disappeared three years ago
The case of a missing Wisconsin woman has turned into a homicide investigation.
Stephanie Low disappeared from her Wausau apartment three years ago Thursday.
For the first time, Wausau police said they have reason to believe Low was killed, and then her body was moved to conceal the crime.
Police said they may know who did it, and he's serving time in prison on unrelated charges.
"We believe we have the information necessary that we can qualify that statement, that this is a homicide investigation, and that we have the information we can qualify that he is clearly a suspect," Wausau Police Chief Jeff Hardel said. "We clearly have made progress. It's just that we haven't made quite the progress that we want because we want to resolve this. We want to hold those individuals responsible, so we're not quite there yet, but we are getting close."
Low's mother is from Waukesha. She later moved to Wausau to help in the search for her daughter.

Project Management with lists and saved searches
Posted: Oct 08, 2013
I want to suggest you a new feature.
It could be something similar as the pernanent link for tasks that i am actually using on lists with great success.
I just need to add the ability to create permanent links for saved searches.
I think that is easy to implement, because you have saved search functionality created. I just need the link.
Example of application for Project management:
You could implement a template for controlling your Projects easily with lists and saved search links.
1)Each line of your list will be a step of your workflow.
2)Create all the tasks of your workflow.
3)Group your tasks on workflow steps.
4)Create saved searches for finding those groups.
5)Dedicate one cell for adding step saved searched link.
6)Dedicate one cell for "checkboxing" your workflow steps.
I hope that you like it and you consider the option of having saved search links in the future.
Thanks !

You must have extensive web development experience. Can you give us an idea of what sorts of web sites you've developed?

Thanks for the suggestion. We do not comment on timeframes for implementation, but this is on our to-do list.

...I just need to add the ability to create permanent links for saved searches....
I've been clicking on links to saved searches in my Weekly Review subtask notes for years. This is for Chrome, but the basic concept should work in other browsers.
In the Search view:
1) Right click on the Saved search (left column)
2) Select "Open Link in New Tab"
3) Go to the new tab and copy the unique URL
4) Paste wherever
-OR- (more simply)
1) Right click on the Saved search (left column)
2) Select "Copy Link Address"
3) Paste wherever
BTW, this works for any view in Toodledo. Example, the URL for "Recently Added" is:
Some caveats:
When using the link, if it points to the same "View By" page you may need to do a page refresh. As long as you are linking to a different "View By" page it will work flawlessly.

Car Leasing FAQs
- How does car leasing work?
- Car leasing allows you to finance a new car without having to buy it outright. Car leasing is effectively a long-term rental. You pay an Initial Payment, typically three months' lease, followed by monthly payments for the lease term—usually three years. When the lease ends, you return the car. Read More on "How does car leasing work?"
- Should I buy or lease a car?
- When you lease a car, you'll have the advantage of choosing the latest model every 2–4 years. Typical lease payments are lower than bank-loan repayments. You pay a fixed monthly cost and benefit from a manufacturer's warranty. However, you won't own the vehicle when the lease ends.
- Leasing vs PCP which should I choose?
- Car leasing gets you a brand-new car every 2–4 years. You won't own the vehicle: your lease is a long-term rental agreement. When the lease ends, the car is returned. PCP is similar, but at the end of the rental period you have the option to buy the car. Read More on "Leasing vs PCP which should I choose? "
- How much is it to lease a car?
- When you lease a car, you'll be charged a fixed monthly rate based on the vehicle's value. You'll also pay an Initial Payment (usually 3x your monthly payment, but it can be more). On a three-year lease, total cost equals Initial Payment plus 35x your monthly payment.
- What are the pros and cons of leasing?
- Popular advantages of car leasing include fixed monthly payments, the ability to upgrade to the latest model every 2–4 years and manufacturer's warranty cover. However, you won't own the vehicle. You're responsible for repairs outside of reasonable wear and tear, and you must stick to an annual mileage limit.
- What should I know when leasing a car?
- When leasing a car, you should be aware that you can replace your vehicle with a new model every 2–4 years. Several lease types exist: the most common are Personal Contract Hire and Business Contract Hire. Cars are returned at the end of the agreement. Mileage limits apply. Read More on "What should I know when leasing a car? "
- What is Personal Contract Hire (PCH)?
- Personal Contract Hire (PCH) is car leasing for personal use. PCH is a type of car finance, which allows you to lease a brand-new vehicle for between 2–4 years. PCH prices are always displayed inclusive of VAT. You'll pay an Initial Payment followed by monthly payments. Read More on "What is Personal Contract Hire (PCH)?"
- What is Hire Purchase (HP)?
- Hire Purchase (HP) is a method of car finance that allows you to buy a new vehicle in instalments. Monthly payments are typically more expensive than other finance options. However, once you've completed the payment schedule and paid a final Option to Purchase fee, the vehicle is yours. Read More on "What is Hire Purchase (HP)? "

US Jobs Report For Jan. Might Be Hard to Interpret
WASHINGTON (AP) — Economists are forecasting a rebound in job creation from December's dismal figure when the labor Department releases January data today.
A survey of economists by FactSet predicts that employers added 170,000 jobs in January and that the unemployment rate remained at 6.7 percent. In December, only 74,000 jobs were created, far below the average gain of 214,000 a month in the previous four months.
The report due today is one of the most highly anticipated in months following various signs of economic weakness in the United States and overseas that have sent stock prices sinking.
Solid job gains and a healthy decline in the unemployment rate could reverse much of the pessimism. Dismal hiring, though, would inflame fears that the U.S. economy has begun to falter.
But unseasonably cold winter weather and a cutoff of extended unemployment benefits in December could distort January's numbers.

Donald Trump is planning to mark the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks by attending the official commemoration at ground zero.
A person familiar with the decision, but not authorized to discuss it until it's announced publicly, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Trump is expected to attend the annual commemoration at the World Trade Center site.
His Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, is also attending. It is not clear whether the two will cross paths, and neither candidate is expected to make public remarks.
U.S. & World
Trump, a native New Yorker, and Clinton, who was senator from New York at the time of the attacks, have agreed to refrain from campaigning Sunday, continuing the tradition of setting aside partisan politics on the somber anniversary.

"In general how would you rate your health?" This is one of the most frequently asked questions to assess health status. Self-reported health status is now among the most common measures used in public health surveys in Canada and its peer countries. It represents physical, emotional, and social aspects of health and well-being. How people feel about their own health is seen as a good indication of the burden of disease.
The self-reported health status indicator complements the life expectancy indicator, which has sometimes been criticized as placing too much importance on quantity of life and not enough on quality of life.
Some researchers suggest a person's judgment about his or her health is too subjective. Others note that cultural differences between countries will influence how people evaluate their health. Still, people's perceptions of their own health have been found to be a good predictor of future health-care use and of mortality rates.
Self-reported health status may also reflect aspects of health—such as disease severity and undiagnosed disease—that are not captured in the more objective measures of health status. Good-to-excellent self-reported health status correlates with lower risk of mortality.1 Poor self-reported health status can be a good predictor of subsequent illness and premature death.2
Self-reported health status is also linked to age, with older people more likely to report poor health than younger people.
Canada is near the top of the class on this indicator, with 88.5 per cent of Canadians reporting their health to be good or very good. Only the U.S. ranks ahead of Canada on this indicator—90 per cent of Americans report good or very good health. Both countries are well above the 17-country average of 76 per cent.
Interestingly, Japan has the lowest proportion of citizens reporting good or very good health status, and yet the longest life expectancy, one of the lowest premature mortality rates, the second-lowest mortality rate due to cancer, and the lowest rates of mortality due to circulatory diseases, diabetes, and mental illness. While Japan's health outcomes continue to improve, the perceived health status of the population continues to fall. Between 2004 and 2007, the proportion of Japanese reporting their health to be good or very good dropped 6 percentage points, from 39 per cent to 33 per cent. One reason for Japan's poor showing on this indicator could be its older, aging population—as noted earlier, older people are more likely to report poorer health.
Japan is the only country to score a "D" on this indicator. Canada and 11 of its peer countries earn "A" grades while France, Germany, Finland, and Italy all earn "B"s.
The percentage of adults rating their health as being good or very good has remained generally stable over the past two decades in countries where historical data are available. Canada earned "A"s in the 1990s and 2000s. The only countries to improve their grades from the 1990s to the 2000s were Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Japan has maintained a "D" for the past three decades.

CANTON, Ohio -- Three girls given a cautionary tour of the local juvenile lockup are suing officials, saying they got more than they bargained for, including a humiliating strip search.
Three girls given a cautionary tour of the local juvenile lockup are suing officials, saying they got more than they bargained for, including a humiliating strip search. The girls, identified by pseudonyms in the lawsuit, say Multi-County Juvenile Attention Center workers violated their rights by subjecting them to the search, giving them dirty clothes to wear and making comments of a sexual nature. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday in Stark County Common Pleas Court. Stark, Carroll, Columbiana, Holmes, Tuscarawas and Wayne counties oversee the Multi-County Juvenile Attention System through a Board of Trustees. The Attention Center houses juveniles awaiting trial or other placements. It is at 815 Faircrest St. SW in Canton Township. Stark County Sheriff Timothy Swanson confirmed that an investigator is looking into allegations concerning the search, but he said no conclusions have been reached. Details Outlined The encounter occurred May 18, according to the lawsuit. The girls, ages 14, 15 and 16, and their families reported to the Attention Center for an arraignment. About a month before, Massillon police charged the girls with "criminal trespass on a public sidewalk" in connection with a fight involving several youths. Attorneys for the girls contend they were innocent bystanders. Instead of going before a judge, a court worker told the girls the case would be over if they agreed to each perform 20 hours of community service, regularly attend school and take a 15-minute walk-through, or tour, of the Attention Center, the lawsuit says. The girls say the walk-through turned out to be more than they expected. Here's what happened, according to the lawsuit: It started with a youth leader, or guard, screaming at them. When the girls giggled out of surprise, the man continued to scream and pushed them against a wall, faces first. The guard then took the girls to the second floor. Once there, he and two other guards, a man and a woman, made disparaging remarks about the girls, commenting on one's breasts. In front of other inmates, the guards made more comments of a sexual nature, asking one girl "whether she liked boys" and saying "other female inmates will love you because they love blondes." The female guard then led the girls, separately, into a room where they were told to remove their clothes, squat and cough, open their mouths, lift their breasts and shake their hair. During the search, the male guards stood in the hallway, laughing, and making comments such as, "I bet they don't think it's funny now," the lawsuit says. After the searches, the female guard gave the girls filthy underwear, bras and uniforms worn by other inmates. After at least half an hour inside the Attention Center, the guards told the girls they had 30 seconds to change their clothes or they would have to stay overnight, the lawsuit says. The plaintiffs are seeking more than $25,000 in damages. Attorneys Brian Zimmerman and Allen Schulman Jr. said the girls' parents never would have agreed to the walk-through if they knew it included a strip search. They say the search was illegal and unnecessary because the girls and their parents had already gone through a metal detector and pat-down search upon entering the Attention Center. Officials Respond According to the lawsuit, the girls' parents contacted court personnel after the tour, but Court Administrator Richard DeHeer told them the Attention Center staff acted within its protocol. Reached Tuesday, DeHeer said he would like to comment on the allegations but couldn't at this time. Multi-County Superintendent Donald Thernes also declined to comment. Nor would he say what is included in a walk-through at the Attention Center. Zimmerman and Schulman have based the lawsuit on statements made by the girls and their parents. They don't know who may have observed the alleged events and have yet to identify the Attention Center guards involved. The attorneys contend the Attention Center is concealing or has destroyed a video of the events captured by surveillance cameras. "We can't believe any judge would know about this and not stop it," Zimmerman said. Stark County Family Court Judge David E. Stucki handled arraignments at the Attention Center the day of the tour. He isn't listed as a defendant and said he wouldn't talk about a pending lawsuit. Speaking generally, the judge said some cases are handled informally, which avoids the creation of a record for the juvenile defendants. The cases involve low-level offenses such as underage consumption, truancy or unruliness, Stucki said. Each case is different, but informal resolutions can include a curfew, community service, mental-health or substance-abuse treatment or a walk-through of the Attention Center. The tour is to show youths what will happen if they don't follow the rules. Stucki said he doesn't know specifically what the walk-through includes. Zimmerman and Schulman said they want to know if other kids are being subjected to strip searches during tours. Asked Schulman: "What would you do if this was your child?" Canton Repository

Oh my sweet God. I had a really, really poignant article about Rick Reilly, the movie Leatherheads, and more thoughts on his comments about bloggers. Then of course, Firefox just had to crash at that very moment in history.
I swear, it was really good. As long as you're believing me, I could go as far to say it was the most remarkable piece of writing in the history of the printing press. But essentially the moral of the story was to say that we should all relax about what Reilly and others say, because sportswriters aren't generally out to please the sports bloggers, and the reverse is also true, yet we have this symbiotic relationship that makes it work. It would have cured cancer (or at least lymphoma), brought happiness to the depressed, laughter to the sullen, and coconuts to Alaska.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to disown my current web browser and switch to Safari or Camino.

Michael Lewis, Moneyball and Team Chemistry
My father-in-law discovered Michael Lewis this Christmas. One relative gave him The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine, Lewis' new book on the mortgage meltdown and my husband and I loaned him Liar's Poker, Lewis' first book about his early career as a Wall Street bond trader in the 1980's. He's really enjoying The Big Short and we got into a huge discussion about both books and all things Michael Lewis over the weekend. And, of course, you can't talk about Michael Lewis without talking about Moneyball, or at least I can't.
My father-in-law is as much of a numbers geek as I am. I hooked him on the idea of reading Moneyball with my descriptions of the newer sabermetric stats and Lewis' comparison of the analysis of certain key pieces of a baseball player's skill set to the derivatives trade market. However, while I also appreciated these aspects of Moneyball when I read the book, they are not the reason it is one of my favorite baseball books. No, what grabbed my attention were the strong but unintentional arguments Michael Lewis made on the way to arguing his main points: namely that personalities, clubhouse/teammate chemistry and other intangibles that stats cannot measure are every bit as important as those skills the stats can measure and that being a passionate baseball fan sometimes causes you to defy logic and reason. If this doesn't sound like the Moneyball you read or have heard about, check my logic here:
In talking about on base percentage, slugging percentage and other at the time undervalued stats Lewis dedicates a entire chapter each to A's acquisitions Jeremy Brown, Scott Hatteberg and Chad Bradford. Each player exhibited one or more sabermetrically valuable skills while lacking many of the qualities that Major League Baseball placed a high value on. In the course of outlining the different ways this situation made each player a brilliant bargain for Billy Beane's larger vision for the A's an entirely different argument emerges. In telling their stories, Lewis' also describes a crucial unexpected personal element that helps each player achieve success. Brown, for example, is a talented hitter who suffers from the fragile psychology of the chronically picked on kid. In Lewis' telling, once Brown makes the first jump away from the A's rookie team, he is on the verge of crumpling from a lack of confidence when his friend, the much more socially adept Nick Swisher, gives him the encouragement he needs, a sympathetic ear and a one-man cheerleading squad in the dugout.
Scott Hatteberg's story is my favorite. A former catcher with a damaged elbow that destroyed his throwing arm, Hatteberg's high on base percentage brings him to the attention of the A's who want to retrain him as a first baseman. What the A's have no way of knowing is how much Hatteberg's love for baseball is built around the chats and personal interactions he had with the opposing teams' batters when he used to catch. What I took from Lewis's argument is that, more than the desire to excel at baseball again, it was the realization that he could have that same level of personal interaction and possibly even longer conversations with opposing players as a first baseman that gave Hatteberg the drive he needed to learn the challenging new position.
Hatteberg's personality becomes a real asset when Chad Bradford begins pitching for the A's. Lewis describes Bradford almost crumpling under the pressure of past manager's reactions to his quirky submarine pitching style until Hatteberg gives him a timely confidence boost by sharing the hitters shocked and impressed reactions to the pitches when they reach first base. I assume that Lewis' point in sharing these stories is that they are great stories which bring a compelling personal element to the book. But after reading them, I for one can't imagine any of the players functioning in the way Beane felt their stats indicated they would perform if the intangible qualities in the player and/or their teammates weren't there right along with the tangible ones. I know this is not what Lewis intended to argue at all, but the argument is there nevertheless and largely, I think, becuase you can't escape the importance the human element plays in baseball no matter how you crunch the numbers.
As to the unintentional argument about the passion of baseball fans, one of Moneyball's biggest controversies is the perception that Lewis argues in favor of new sabermetric stats hands down over traditional stats. This isn't Lewis' original argument at all. He starts out by saying that sabermetrics allows managers to pick and choose undervalued skills, the skills that can give a less wealthy team the most talent for their limited dollars. His central premise is not that a team with relatively unlimited resources should prize these undervalued skills over traditionally valued skills…but it sure doesn't sound that way by the time you get to the draft scenes in the middle of the book. Lewis begins to praise the skill sets the A's have chosen to focus on to a greater and greater degree as the book progresses. He brings things back around to his central point by the end but seems unaware of the degree to which he strayed from it in the middle…and, understandably, it is the points where Lewis strays that the book's detractors fixate on. Why the discrepancy? I think Lewis' own obviously growing enthusiasm and occasional downright giddiness in describing his subject tells the whole story. By the end of his research, Michael Lewis has evolved from an interested but unbiased researcher into passionate baseball fan. And who among us really sounds logical and reasonable once we start talking about our team and their chances in any given season?
As much I appreciated Lewis' sabermetrics history and analysis of the new stats, to me the combination of his intentional and unintentional arguments cuts right to the heart of baseball. The stats are important. The stats give you an amazing amount of crucial information. The newer stats give you even more. But the stats can never and will never tell you the whole story. I hope my father-in-law asks to borrow Moneyball soon. I want to discuss this with him and see if he thinks it compares to gut instinct vs. in depth market analysis on the stock market.

My long awaited tongue piercing :)
I have wanted my tongue pierced since I was 12 years old, but having very sensible parents I was not allowed it done until I was quite a bit older (which is of course a good thing!). Although it really did wind me up when I was younger, I am pleased they made me wait because it allowed me to be mature in my choice, as at the end of the day, it can be a dangerous piercing if you get it done at the wrong place! And you have to be really strict in caring for it (no infections in there thank you!)
So here I am, aged 21, moved out of home, and earning my own money. The three criteria I had to meet to be allowed my lovely new piece of metal! It may be my 23rd, but damn it was the one I had wanted most! And although it sounds strange, the only one that actually made me very nervous!
Today, 20th March 2010, was finally my day and I went down to Susan Bird's to get it done. I walked into the reception area at 12.40pm and it was really quiet, I expected some more people in there, but I wasn't going to complain if it meant no queues! I found out the reason it was so empty though was because they were closing in 20 minutes, oops! But they were happy enough to fit me in :) yey!
So I filled in the usual forms - no I don't have HIV, no haemophilia etc....signed it and paid my £30 before hand so it was done and I couldn't back out! (Not after waiting almost 10 years was I going to give myself a chance to back out!!) I then sat down in the waiting area for the piercer to finish with the client before me. Out she came and greeted me, she was really friendly! She checked my forms and then let me know that she would be with me in one moment when the room was ready.
Once she collected me and took me through to the room I was met by that wonderful sterile smell - maybe I am a freak, but damn, I love that scent! It always makes me feel so at home! :D I sat on the bed and watched her get out all the instruments and jewellery to be used. I would be telling lies if I said that at this point I wasn't very nervous! No idea why, maybe the anticipation of finally getting it done :) I ended up making nervous chit chat....I was feeling silly, but bless her, she relaxed me easily.
So after she spoke to me and got everything sorted, she checked my tongue (all's well, woo!) and dotted a mark in the centre. Next came the numbing spray (which just made me talk weird, and drool lol) and then the clamp. I can honestly say this really did hurt - I was shocked! Like a sharp pinching (shows how good the numbing spray was then!). But I reminded myself that afterwards I would have a shiny new bar in my mouth to make it all worth it :P
She asked if I was ready, "yes!" (well a nod!), and then in went the needle. It did hurt, but nowhere as much as I thought it would! She was very quick doing the piercing, and before I knew it I had my tongue gently lifted back into my mouth and a mirror to see my new friend :) There was no blood, no drewling like I'd expected, and no huge amounts of pain! She was really nice too, because even though it was past closing time she sat with me until I was sure I was OK to leave. Such a kind lady!
I am so so happy with it! And it really has made the 10 years of waiting worthwhile :P
I am writing this 5 hours after the piercing, and I can honestly say it is not feeling that bad! Minimal swelling and not huge amounts of pain (though when it decides to hurt, it does go for it lol). All I have drank since getting in is iced water (very soothing) and have tried to eat a little cake (which I managed half of - whoo!) so all in all an amazing piercing experience, and I cannot wait to get the smaller bar put in soon so that I can see it in all its beauty :) I have been advised to wait 3 weeks before going back to have it changed, as although you can have it changed sooner she prefers to know it is 100% ok before taking out the longer bar. Fine by me, I'd rather that too!
Anyone out there who is considering a tongue piercing, I would say do it! It really is worth it :)

I know what you're thinking. How can I guy who is dead wrong all the time have his own website? Good question! Maybe it has something to do with this:
But, seriously, it's a good question. How can I be so freaking wrong all of the time? I mean, it's not like I just fell off the turnip truck and began drawing lines on charts. I'd been pretty good at this stuff for quite a while. So what has happened, aside from the obvious Jack Daniels, methamphetamine, valium and glue-sniffing addictions?
I think the answer lies with three things:
- Fed/PD involvement in manipulating nearly all markets
- The predominance of High Frequency Trading in nearly all markets
- And the coordination of numbers 1 and 2 above
For example, many wonder at how the U.S. stock market can keep going up. That's easy! The Fed's Primary Dealers receive, on average, about $2,000,000,000 each business day, direct from The Fed. Now most of this gets reinvested into treasuries in order to prop up the bond market but a considerable amount is left over each day and the majority of that money gets plowed into S&P futures where the attendant leverage multiplies the buying effect as much as 20 to 30 times. As Ruprecht would say: "That's a lot."
So, of course, the stock market isn't going up because your neighbor just put $10,000 into The Growth Fund of America or some old lady just bought 200 shares of ConEd. It's going up because The Fed is giving free money to the banks in order to prop it up. From there, the HFTs which represent about 80% of the daily volume, take over and bada-bing, bada-boom, you're at Dow 15,000.
And with all this free money sloshing around and being driven by mindless computers, technicals and fundamentals get thrown out the window. Technical analysis only works if a group of relatively risk-averse human beings actually see the same formations and lines and then choose to act in those certain spots. When you're dealing with computers and risk-free cash, you can do anything you want!
Sure, two days ago the POSX looked like it was headed lower. It doesn't matter. The euro looked stable to higher then, too. So what? Crude, the grains, copper...all the same. All driven by momo-chasing HFT computer algos which haphazardly buy one day and sell the next.
So what does this mean? Well, I'm still going to tell you what I think and what I expect but I must warn you again: Attempting to profit by trading in this environment is suicidal. You will think you are doing the right thing and then, for example, a baseless rumor gets floated after the Comex close and gold is whacked for $40 before it can re-open. How's that stop order treating ya? Brutal, just brutal.
(Of course, none of this is new. For those die-hards that want to keep trading, I set up the service with Andrew Maguire over a year ago. You might think it's too expensive but in return I'll ask you how much money you've lost over the past 30 days alone? Considering Andy's performance, I'd say his fee is pretty cheap. If you want to learn more, just click the ad on the right side of this page.)
So here we are. The machines have pounded us all the way to $1425 and $23.30. Ugh. Never mind that The Bernank made no mention of "tapering" today. Never mind that Andy reported that today was the largest physical allocation month-to-date in London. Never mind the CoT reports. Never mind the 300 tonnes taken out of the GLD YTD. Never mind the 100 tonnes taken out of Comex vaults YTD. Just...never mind. The machines are in charge and they will continue to be in charge...until they're not.
And when might that happen? Lots of talk out there about imminent collapses and paper disconnects. Chatter galore on force majeure and cash settlement. Oh sure, this is going to happen one day. No doubt about it. But just don't go getting your hopes up that that day is going to be next Tuesday. If we've learned anything these past three years or so it's this: The main power possessed by The Powers That Be is the power to put off the inevitable. The music will keep playing and the party will continue until the day comes when it simply doesn't. That day is coming and it will likely be at a moment not of TPTB's choosing. Clinging to power and the Old Order, the bullion banks will likely create paper metal until there simply isn't an ounce left that they can
steal hypothecate and leverage.
Your only winning move remains the acquisition and storage of physical precious metal. And I don't mean the CEF or the PHYS or a certificate from an LBMA vault. I mean metal that you hold in your own two hands. The real stuff. Period. I know there are production and delivery delays. Who cares. Acquire it and deliver it, while you still can. In order to make this easier, I've assembled a list of "affiliates" for you. They can be found here: https://www.tfmetalsreport.com/precious-metals-store and here: https://www.hardassetsalliance.com/cm/precious-metals-breakthrough. If you want to hasten the decline of TPTB, go to these businesses today and order some metal.
Here are your mostly-worthless charts. Again, you and I can see where there should be support and buying pressure against the shorts. But that hardly matters when some goon no one has ever heard of can float a rumor and whack the global price of gold for $40.
And I know this is painful but I'm going to give you a CoT update later today, nonetheless. Cast it aside if you want. Claim that it's just fudged-up and manipulated, too, if you want. But...we are talking about levels of Spec shorting that we haven't seen since 2001 and, in some cases, even longer. This fundamental market structure will sometime soon show itself as a bullish indicator once again. It's just a matter of when. Now "when" might be when the banks are finally net long both gold and silver. We'll see. But for now, we'll just keep monitoring the levels in each category and discussing it every Friday.
Anyway, that's all for today. I hope you are able to have an enjoyable and relaxing weekend, regardless of all this nonsense. Keep calm and add to your stack.

Disability Insurance
Disability insurance is a specialized form of health insurance. Disability insurance protects you in the case of loss of income. If you lose your ability to work, either from temporary or permanent disability, a disability claim can be made.
While most people consider disability insurance a 'luxury' the fact of the matter is what would you do if you couldn't work for the rest of your life? How would you cope financially? Everyday we read of accidents or other mishaps which leave a person paralyzed or worse. Disability insurance is the insurance that would guarantee you an income in the case that you could not work.
Are you thinking that social security would cover you?
Think again. The benefit's are notoriously limited. And the majority of social security disability claims each year are turned down. Think disability insurance.
What about Workers Compensation?
Workers Compensation only kicks in if you are hurt on the job. Your chances of being hurt when you are playing weekend sports are higher than your chance of being hurt on the job. Think disability insurance.
You may get some money if you are hurt in a car accident, because of personal liability insurance. However, there are no guarantees and you could be waiting years for a lawsuit to be settled.
Let's think a less disastrous situation. Even if you aren't worried about a catastrophic accident or illness, what if you broke your leg in three places skiing and couldn't work because you were in traction? What if you tore a ligament, while playing on that weekend co-ed baseball team, and had to have surgery. You'd be out of commission for awhile. Disability insurance can also replace lost income on a temporary basis, while you heal from the hazards of being a "weekend warrior".
Even if you have medical coverage a long illness without earnings can be financially devastating. Statistics vary, but you have anywhere from a 1 in 5 to a 1 in 3 chance of having either an illness or accident which prevent you from working for 90 days or more; between the ages of 40 and 65. Your chance of dying in the same period is about 1 in 7. Some statistics claim that the average long term loss of your ability to work is 5 years. That's a long time.
This is why, if you are the sole breadwinner in your family, you should be considering disability insurance. If you get laid up or seriously injured your family's ability to cope financially would be jeopardized.
You have two types of disability insurance protection: Short Term Disability Insurance (STD) and Long Term Disability Insurance (LTD).

How do you fix a broken garage door?
Garage door problems don't have to mean the end of the world. Garage door repair is typically a one-day process and can be done for only a few hundred dollars. Common garage door repair requests include fixing slow or erratic garage doors, addressing strange sounds coming from the garage door or motor, fixing cosmetic damage such as dents or scrapes, repairing broken doors that are stuck open or closed, and troubleshooting inoperable doors.
The two main garage door operating mechanisms are sectional roll-ups or tilt-ups. Garage door repair services can fix single-car, double-car or RV-height doors. Your garage door may be made of wood, steel, aluminum, masonite, vinyl, fiberglass or another material. The type of garage door repair you need really depends on the type of garage door you have and the issue at hand. Garage door repair pros often charge a flat service call fee to diagnose the problem and provide an estimate. For customers who choose to have the repair done, the service call fee may be applied to the first hour of labor (including time to make the diagnosis). If your garage door is under warranty, the repair may be free of charge.
How much does it cost to get a new garage door?
A new garage door can add serious curb appeal, not to mention myriad home safety benefits. The cost of a new garage door will vary based on the type of garage door you want and the materials it will be made of. You can purchase a new garage door and have the pros install it for you, but proceed with caution as many installers won't guarantee their labor if you didn't purchase the garage door through their company. A new door (without installation) may cost anywhere from $200 to $4,000 or more, depending on size, brand and materials. Here are some examples of average new garage door costs, including installation:
- Raised-panel, insulated,16x7 garage door: $1,100
- Without insulation: about $900
- Raised-panel, insulated, 8x7: $700
- Without insulation: $550
- Carriage-house 16x7 garage door with stamped-steel design: $1,500
- Carriage-house 8x7 garage door with stamped-steel design: $1,000
- A carriage-house garage door is a barn-style door with handles and hinges; it looks like it pulls out in the style of a barn door but is actually a roll-up.
- Carriage-house 16x7 garage door with steel and faux-wood overlay: $3,500
- Carriage-house 8x7 garage door with steel and faux-wood overlay: $2,000–$2,200
- Solid-wood cedar or mahogany 16x7 garage door with window in top panels: $5,000
- Solid-wood cedar or mahogany 8x7 garage door with window in top panels: $3,500
How much does it cost to install a new garage door opener?
Your new garage door opener cost will vary based on the model you purchase and how long installation takes. Typically, installation pros charge by the hour, although if the pro is also selling the garage door opener they may have a flat fee for the product with installation. The national average for new garage door opener costs (with installation) is between $390 and $650, although the national average cost for the opener purchased alone may be in the $150-$300 range. The three most common types of openers are chain-drive, screw-drive and belt-drive. The chain-drive costs the least but makes the most noise. The belt-drive is typically the quietest and the most expensive. You can expect to pay about the same amount for installation for any of the three styles. The lifespan of a garage door opener is approximately 10 years, depending on quality. A pro may provide opener repairs for the cost of their service call fee or they may charge a flat fee, such as $100 for opener repair. Here are some examples of new garage door opener average costs, including installation:
- Contractor-grade garage door opener with installation: $300.
- Chain-drive opener with installation and one remote: $350.
- Belt-drive opener with installation and two remotes: $400
- Top-of-the-line opener with ¾-horsepower battery backup, belt drive and nearly soundless operation: $475
- The majority of higher-end garage door openers are "smart" products and will connect via app to your smartphone for remote access.
How much is it to replace a garage door panel?
Replacing a garage door panel can add significantly to the cost of a garage door repair. Panels run horizontally on sectional roll-up garage doors. They may be made of wood, vinyl, aluminum, fiberglass or steel. Garage door panels can become damaged from hail and other extreme weather, dents and dings, car accidents, and age. When deciding if you want to replace a garage door panel, it's helpful to compare the potential repair cost to the cost of a new garage door. Panel replacement requires a pro with the proper tools as well as the new parts. With parts and labor you could be paying more than $500 for one new panel. In comparison, a new garage door may cost $800-$1,200 (on average) with installation. If there is a possibility your garage door was structurally compromised when the panel was damaged, have the pro assess whether it's better to completely remove and replace the door, rails and framework to ensure your home's safety. It may also be better to completely replace your door if it is severely rusted or dented; if the paint is peeling and fading; if the door model is outdated or you can't find replacement panels; or if the panels or rails are structurally compromised.
How much should it cost to replace a garage door cable?
If your garage door is not opening or has become jammed, you may need to replace the garage door cables. Unless you have the proper tools and know-how, this is a job best left to a professional due to the weight of the garage door and the extreme tension of the springs. The cost of repair will vary depending on your location, the length of the cables you need, and the time it takes the pro to do the replacement.
From a big-box store, basic garage door cables can run between $8 and $20, depending on the product. Your pro may charge you a different cost if they provide the cables. Your cables may not need to be replaced if they have simply come off the track, but broken cables will need to be completely removed and replaced. In either instance, the pros will need to secure or take down the door; unwind the springs; reset or replace the rollers, cables, and drums; and then wind the springs once more. For example, a pro could reset cables that have come off the track for $129.99. The average national cost for a garage door repair specialist is $80 - $110 per hour and the typical cost to replace a broken garage door cable is anywhere from $130 to $200.
How much does it cost to get a garage door fixed?
The national average for garage door repair cost is between $80 and $110. Some of the factors that affect your garage door repair cost are the type of springs (most often torsion or extension), the size and weight of the door, and the door material. Many garage door pros will charge a service fee to visit your house and determine the problem. Often, the service fee includes a set amount of labor. One example of this is an $80 service fee that includes the first hour of work plus testing and inspecting your garage door and garage door opener, while another pro may charge $150 for the same standard service call.
Broken or jammed springs are a common problem. In one example, the starting price for spring repair was $99, while another pro's cost started at $185. The $185 starting price included $40 for transportation costs, $60 for parts, and $85 per hour of labor. Professionals may charge extra for late-night garage door repair emergencies.

Press Release: HELM Group – 2017 Results
HELM improves earnings significantly
Hamburg, 22 May 2018
- Global revenue: EUR 7.4 billion (up 7%)
- EBITDA: EUR 46.7 million (up 131%)
- Consolidated net profit: EUR 18.4 million (2016: EUR –15.6 million)
In 2017, the HELM Group generated a satisfactory result for the financial year from its core business before earnings from associated companies. Improved operating performance produced an increase in revenue of around half a billion euros.
Global revenues totalled EUR 7.4 billion (2016: EUR 6.9 billion).
A generally robust economy and favourable market conditions helped the positive development of the HELM Group. The oil price continued to recover and closed 2017 at about USD 66 per barrel. Prices for chemical products rose as a result.
The Group was again able to expand its trading margin, resulting in a considerably higher gross profit on products compared to the previous year. Of the business lines, Chemicals and Pharma made a major contribution to the improvement in earnings last year.
Overall, the satisfactory result of operations of the HELM Group was again diminished by losses from associated companies.
The Group closed the year with a net profit of EUR 18.4 million (2016: EUR –15.6 million).
Hans-Christian Sievers, chairman of the Executive Board of HELM AG, comments: 'I am delighted to see the positive performance and improvement in earnings. We have demonstrated our ability to get quickly back on track after a hard year, as 2016 proved to be. And we have been able to drive our business lines forwards. With new contracts and collaborative agreements signed, I look to the coming years with optimism.'
Group result: performance in figures
|- All figures in million EUR -
|- Global revenues
|- External revenues
|- Earnings before taxes
|- Consolidated net income
|- Cash flow from operations
Europe was the HELM Group's main sales market in 2017, with a share of 59.4%, followed by America with a share of 26.1% and Asia with 13.7%.
Equity amounted to EUR 727 million (2016: EUR 763 million). The decrease is solely due to exchange-rate effects, caused by the devaluation of the US dollar versus the euro. The Group has a very good equity ratio of 49.3% (2016: 51.8%). Its independence and stability are therefore assured.
Business area performance in summary
Chemicals: Feedstocks and Derivatives
Operating in a positive market environment with rising product prices, HELM was able to improve consolidated revenues to around EUR 2.6 billion in 2017 (2016: EUR 2.3 billion), equivalent to an increase of 13%. Higher margins proved possible for a number of products.
Feedstocks volumes, particularly methanol, decreased slightly, whereas propylene and ethylene glycol business performed well, enabling HELM to increase trading volumes. Overall, Feedstocks products generated good earnings.
Derivatives generated a satisfactory result in both solids and liquid chemicals. Performance by the Acids and Lyes business, which HELM has been expanding strongly since 2014, was particularly encouraging.
With its share of 63.8%, Chemicals contributes more to revenues than any other business line throughout the HELM Group.
Last year, Fertilizer business was again challenged by very volatile product prices. Added to which, inclement weather conditions delayed the start of what turned out to be a poor spring season in the northern hemisphere.
Overall, HELM Fertilizer was able to increase trading volumes slightly. With prices weakening on the fertilizer market, however, revenue decreased by 5% to EUR 922 million (2016: EUR 973 million). Margins did not improve as well as expected.
On the positive side, capacity utilisation at HELM's own blending facility in Howdendyke, UK, was good. HELM also continued to focus on steadily expanding its distribution business in 2017. These efforts included renting a new tank in Argentina.
With its share of 22.4%, Fertilizer is the second-largest contributor to revenues throughout the HELM Group.
Crop Protection
The Crop Protection business was faced with markets exhibiting weak growth momentum overall in 2017. Supply bottlenecks also occurred, caused by the shutdown of production facilities in China on grounds of environmental and safety regulations. HELM welcomes these moves towards stricter environmental standards.
In light of these developments, HELM Crop Protection performed satisfactorily. Revenue was on a par with the prior year at EUR 262 million (2016: EUR 260 million).
The main sales markets are Europe and North and South America.
HELM Pharma again improved its result of operations despite slightly declining revenue. Revenues totalled EUR 192 million (2016: EUR 206 million).
The gratifying results achieved in Hamburg and by HELM de México are worthy of particular mention. Richter HELM Biologics – the joint venture that develops biosimilars – also produced a very good result.
HELM Pharma is focusing increasingly on expanding its portfolio by developing complex pharmaceuticals. In 2017, HELM secured its access to the inhalation segment.
HELM International
With over 100 subsidiaries in more than 30 countries, HELM is internationally structured. In the past financial year, the subsidiaries managed by the HELM International business unit generated very good, stable income. A sales office was opened in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2017.
Human resources
In 2017, the total number of employees in the global HELM organisation increased. As at 31 December 2017, HELM employed 627 (623) staff in Hamburg, 688 (684) in Germany and 1,521 (1,495) in total worldwide, including participations.
Outlook for 2018
HELM made a good start to the 2018 financial year, with a very positive performance in the first quarter. Overall, the economic climate is favourable, with a strong oil price keeping prices for chemicals stable.
Natgasoline LLC in Beaumont, Texas, USA – a methanol plant in which HELM owns a stake – will soon be starting up. As a result, HELM will be able to significantly increase its methanol volumes and further expand its already strong market position.
Associates are developing well. HELM expects business to progress satisfactorily, with a further improvement in earnings compared to 2017.

Panama vacations offer a unique experience for visitors of all ages. Panama, known for its lovely weather and beautiful scenery, is also a great place to visit for everyone from couples looking for a romantic getaway to parents interested in enjoying new experiences with their children. In addition to the many things to do Panama offers for visitors, it also has many hotels in Panama to chose from, including things like beach hotels and city hotels. There truly are Panama hotels to fit every traveler's individual lodging needs.
Some of the top deals in Panama can be found on Colon hotels. This area is popular with families who enjoy hiking as it is home to Chagres National Park. Hotels in Boquete are also great for families as this is the site of the world famous Jungla de Panama Wildlife Refuge. A beach hotel by Gatun Lake is another option for a family looking for a Panama hotel near the water. Panama beach hotels are certainly something families want to consider, especially if they enjoy boating, swimming, or sunbathing. All inclusive hotels and Panama resorts abound near kid friendly getaways like the Punta Culebra Nature Center and Monkey Island.
Couples can't go wrong with going with one of the specials on hotels in David. David is a great site for you if you like shopping and want to dine at one of Panama's famous restaurants. If you and your special someone are interested in the finer things you can't go wrong with staying at one of Panama's 5 star hotels or be pampered at one of the luxury hotels. These lovely hotels truly have everything you need to help you unwind from the stresses of day to day life. Another area that is popular with couples looking for a lovely experience is The Old City. This historic locale is home to beautiful historic buildings, as well as a number of boutique hotels filled with charming touches guaranteed to delight even the most discerning guests.
Expedia has all the information you need to pick which of the Panama hotels will be best for you and your traveling companions.
Because Panama is enviably located southeast of Costa Rica, has both shores next to the Caribbean Sea, and enjoys a uniform tropical climate, hotels in Panama are rapidly becoming popular tourist destinations for travelers from every part of the planet. Situated between North and South America, Panama is well known for the vibrancy of its urban life and for having top-quality water sports activities available on a year-round basis. The word Panama actually means "an abundance of fish" in the native language.
Visitors to Panama hotels have access to two separate oceans, mountain ranges, exposure to native cultures, some of the world's oldest rain forests, and colorful, eclectic urban life. Prices in Panama are more reasonable than in other locations in the Caribbean, and it is frequently possible for families or other groups of people who are traveling together to obtain discount rates on Panama hotel packages through professional tourism companies such as Expedia.
Located only nine degrees away from the equator, the weather in Panama experiences very little seasonal variation. However, the best time to make reservations for cheap hotel deals in Panama is during the month of December through the month of March because there is an extremely low chance of precipitation during this time period. If you are in search of good Panama hotel deals, though, you should investigate whether it might be an option for you to book rooms during the rainy season.
Panama's rainy season still features balmy temperatures, and mornings and afternoons are generally sunny and pleasant during this time. Late afternoons and evenings can be rainy at times. Most of Panama is warm enough at night so that visitors do not need to wear jackets during the evening, but you will want to pack at least one piece of lightweight outerwear if you are going to be making any overnight visits to locations with higher elevations such as Cerro Punta and Boquete.
Plant lovers will be enthralled by the abundance of plant varieties made possible by the region's tropical climate and variations in elevation and terrain. Many of the plants that are sold as houseplants in the United States and other countries grow wild within Panama's borders particularly on the floors of the area's rain forests.
Expedia can help you find just the right cheap Panama hotel deal for the special tropical vacation that you and your traveling companions have been dreaming about.

Its news staff was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in general news reporting for its Hurricane Hugo coverage in 1989. Its cartoonist, Robert Ariail, was a Pulitzer finalist in 1995 and 2000. Reporter Gina Smith and current projects editor broke the Mark Sanford scandal story on June 24, 2009 when she interviewed Sanford at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport as he returned from Argentina.[3]
According to the newspaper's Web site, it has 440 full-time employees and another 31 who work part-time, not including an on-premises "McClatchy Customer Care Center for subscriber assistance." The State has a 260,000-square-foot (24,000 m2) building completed in 1988, three miles (4.8 km) south of downtown.[4]
In 2017, the McClatchy Company listed the State's Columbia headquarters building for sale for $17,000,000.[5]
The newspaper, first published on February 18, 1891.[6][7] was founded by two brothers, N.G. Gonzales and A.E. Gonzales.[4] In 1903, N. G. Gonzales was fatally shot by lieutenant governor James H. Tillman, who was later acquitted of murder charges.
In 1945, The State bought its rival, the Columbia Record, with the parent company becoming The State-Record Company. The paper's owners diversified in 1971 by founding "State Telecasting Company." State Telecasting purchased three television stations in New Mexico, South Carolina and Texas. KCBD-TV in Lubbock, Texas and its full-time satellite KSWS-TV Roswell, NM were acquired in 1971 for 6 million dollars from the Joe Bryant estate. WUSN-TV in Charleston, SC was acquired and the call letters changed to WCBD-TV to conform with those of KCBD. The paper remained in the hands of the Gonzales family until 1986, when Knight Ridder purchased the State-Record Company and six subsidiaries (including the Sun Herald and The Sun News) for $311 million. In 2006, Knight Ridder was purchased by McClatchy.

Just thought I'd share this here in case any other DGV users (or those contemplating using one) might be interested...
Although I normally run a DCOE I do have a DGV setup I've run for a short time once before. Having a couple of things I want to change on my DCOE setup, I need to install the DGV so I can continue to drive the car while the DCOE is on the workbench.
I did have a couple of things I wanted to do to the DGV first:
- I never liked the awkward position of the mixture screw on the side toward the engine
- The linkage on the carb would not allow the throttle to fully open! This is an issue I've seen on other DGVs as well
The solution? Mount the carb 180 degrees from the norm....and rework the linkage. Reversing the carb accomplishes a couple of things.
- Puts the mixture screw on the side next to the wing so it's easy to see and reach
- Moves the fuel line connection away from the engine and exhaust manifold heat
The only issue with reversing the carb on this manifold was that I had to open up the top of the manifold a bit since the 36mm choke was now on the opposite side of the manifold and would have been partially shrouded by the manifold. A few minutes with the Dremel solved that.
I fixed the linkage issue by mounting a bracket to the bottom of the manifold to hold the part of the old linkage that let the cable turn 90 degrees. That also provides a place to attach the return spring. I made sure the new bracket changed the geometry to allow WOT at the cable's maximum pull.
Just for kicks, I also decided to fashion a heat shield. Don't know if it's really necessary but, when I ran this carb several years ago, I did get some hard starting issues when trying to restart immediately after a long drive....an issue that seemed to be directly related to heat soak after a hot shut down. The heat shield was cut from a piece of 22 gauge steel and the bottom side covered with some self adhesive Thermo Shield material.
Maybe I can install it this weekend and see how it works. First I have to go to a bicycle shop and get a new throttle cable

gamespot score:n/a
my score:8.0
(+)pros:- innovative gameplay mechanics,- great song selection for those who love vocaloid music, - chance time is a good feature for racking up points,- loads of unlockable content like clothes and other characters,- the room is a good place to customize and just chill out to listen to music.
(-)cons:- can get boring to keep listening to hatsune miku's voice,- song selection is quite limited
gameplay time: 30-40 hours( above average)
Finally a review after a week or so! Time to get back in business. Today's game will be hatsune miku: project diva. It was released last year and is fairly old now....with the 2nd installment out and all. Still, I started this pretty late, so here I am, havent even started playing the 2nd one. Most people will know hatsune miku, shes like an idol, appearing in web ads everywhere and shit, and she is a pretty common face in the anime community. So yeah, this game features hatsune miku, so if you like her, this is probably the game for you.
Project diva is a beat/ rhytm game, and thus, there is no freaking story, just like most music games out there. Dont be fooled by the opening where she gets enrolled into a school and stuff, its just an opening MV and has no connection to the game at all, it has no story, so stop whining. But well, it doesnt really need 1 anyway.
Being a music game, its concept is pretty much a damn simple one. You follow beats or rhytm of a song, and hit incoming notes, then get points. Keep doing this until the song is over to see your overall score, which you will try to beat over and over. Oh and of course, if you miss too many notes you die, simple as that. Also, in this game if you didnt do too well in a song, you will "fail" it at the score calculation screen and you wont unlock its harder version, if you successfully cleared it you will unlock a harder version of the song..
Now hatsune miku has a good selection of songs for you vocaloid fans, world is mine...melt...moon and disappearances are only some of the available pieces. If you havent heard any vocaloid music before this game can bring out that love, since they are pretty good. The gameplay in this game is pure love, and is obviously where it shines. For one, there isnt a "gear" or "pad" where notes will constantly land on ( rock band, djmax, guitar hero, pump it up etc.). In projecct diva, black and empty shapes will appear througout the screen, when the MV is playing. Shapes are of course from our classic PSP buttons, then, following the appearances of these shapes, thier coloured counter parts will appear, from random sides of the screen, and they will fly to the black parts in confusing patterns, your job is of course to hit the respective note when the notes correspond. This is confusing and will be hard for 1st timers, but you will get used to it. The randomness of these notes will cause some headaches, but their rhytm when hit matches to that of the song, so it isnt just for fun. Also, theres a chance time, which appears near the end of the song, its a short mode that lets you hit notes in rapid progression and for each successful hit you get more points, it great for racking up some points.
