67 WALL STREET, New York - June 20, 2013 - The Wall Street Transcript has just published its REITs Report offering a timely review of the sector to serious investors and industry executives. This special feature contains expert industry commentary through in-depth interviews with public company CEOs and Equity Analysts. The full issue is available by calling (212) 952-7433 or via The Wall Street Transcript Online.
Topics covered: Acquisition and Financing Costs - Pricing Power Outlook - Residential and Commercial REITs - Inexpensive Access to Capital - Apartment, Lodging, Self-Storage and Office REITs
Companies include: Newcastle Investment Corp. (NCT), National Semiconductor Corpora (NSM) and many more.
In the following excerpt from the REITs Report, an expert analyst discusses the outlook for the sector for investors:
TWST: What kind of returns are the mortgage REITs delivering right now? Are they still in the double-digits range?
Mr. Harter: In the low double-digit range are the yields that are available in the market today. The agency side you can probably do low teens, again with a little bit more volatility there around rates and around the thought on the Fed. Nonagency bonds have continued to fare very well, and as a result those yields are probably more high single-digit, but probably a little less volatility to those.
And then I'd say there are some newer asset classes, like the securitization of new production loans, where you're starting to see more REITs go into. Those are probably low double-digit returns today, but I feel pretty good about the sustainability of those returns; less interest rate risk, less reliance on short-term funding, so all in all, I think that's a pretty attractive low double-digit return.
TWST: What were the highlights from the most recent quarterly earnings announcements?
Mr. Harter: I think you saw the divergence in book value performance in the quarter, with the agency-only names faring worse in the quarter as you had significant spread widening, versus players that had nonagency exposure where they continue to see stronger book value performance as nonagency bonds continue to increase.
I think that, coupled with this most recent rise in rates, has really shifted the focus back to book value preservation as being a central theme to the mortgage REITs.
TWST: What are your recommendations right now? What are your top picks?

feh is a lightweight and powerful image viewer that can also be used to manage the desktop wallpaper for standalone window managers lacking such features.
Template:Package Official is available in Extra:
# pacman -S feh
feh is highly configurable. For a full list of options, run Template:Codeline.
As an image viewer
To quickly browse images in a specific directory, you can launch feh with the following arguments:
$ feh -g 640x480 -d -S filename /path/to/directory
- The -g flag forces the images to appear no larger than 640x480
- The -S filename flag sorts the images by filename
This is just one example; there are many more options available should you desire more flexibility.
File Browser Image Launcher
The following script is useful for file browsers. It will display your selected image in feh, but it will enable you to browse all other images in the directory as well, in their default order, i.e. as if you had run "feh *" and cycled through to the selected image.
The script assumes the first argument is the filename.
#!/bin/sh shopt -s nullglob if [[ ! -f $1 ]]; then echo "$0: first argument is not a file" >&2 exit 1 fi file=$(filename "$1") dir=$(dirname "$1") arr= c= shift cd -- "$dir" for i in *; do [[ -f $i ]] || continue arr+=("$i") [[ $i == $file ]] && c=${#arr[@]} done exec feh "$@" -- "${arr[@]:c}" "${arr[@]:0:c}"
Invoke the script with the selected images path, followed by any additional arguments to feh. Here is an example of a launcher that you can use in a file browser:
/path/to/script %f -F -Z
"-F" and "-Z" are feh arguments. "-F" opens the image in fullscreen mode, and "-Z" autozooms the image.
As a desktop wallpaper manager
feh can be used to manage the desktop wallpaper for window managers that lack desktop features, such as Openbox and Fluxbox.
When using GNOME, you must disable Nautilus from controlling the desktop. The easiest way is to run this command:
$ gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop --type boolean false
The following command is an example of how to set the initial background:
$ feh --bg-scale /path/to/image.file
Other scaling options include:
--bg-tile FILE --bg-center FILE --bg-max FILE --bg-fill FILE
To restore the background on the next session, add the following to your startup file (e.g. Template:Filename, Template:Filename, etc.):
sh ~/.fehbg &
Random background image
To rotate the wallpaper randomly, create a script with the code below (e.g. Template:Filename). Make the script executable (Template:Codeline) and call it from Template:Filename. You can also put the source directly in Template:Filename instead of in a separate file.
Change the Template:Filename directory to fit your setup, and the "15m" delay as you please (see Template:Codeline for options).
#!/bin/sh while true; do find ~/.wallpaper -type f -name '*.jpg' -o -name '*.png' -print0 | shuf -n1 -z | xargs -0 feh --bg-scale -- sleep 15m done
This version doesn't fork as much, but doesn't recurse through directories:
#!/bin/bash shopt -s nullglob cd ~/.wallpaper while true; do files=() for i in *.jpg *.png; do [[ -f $i ]] && files+=("$i") done range=${#files[@]} ((range)) && feh --bg-scale -- "${files[RANDOM % range]}" sleep 15m done

Wildman Wins Melges 20 Miami Winter Regatta
7 February 2016
Miami, FL - An overnight weather system packing 20-30 knots of westerly winds arrived onto Biscayne Bay providing the Melges 20 fleet at the Miami Winter Series (MWS), Event No. 2 regatta with one final, full-on race that ultimately shaking up the standings and determining the final podium line-up.
While the Kilroy family had the top two positions locked up, third place was very much up for grabs. It was going to be a toss up between six teams and the Corinthian title also needed to be decided.
The breeze was testing the upper limits of the class wind speed guidelines, but PRO Blake Middleton and his legion of volunteers from Coconut Grove Sailing Club set a square course and the tightly packed fleet of Melges 20s charged upwind on the 1.2 mile beat.
As is the case with most wind directions in Biscayne Bay, the left side typically pays and it paid big for Jim Wilson sailing with his daughters Hope and Molly on Oleander winning the pin to own the left corner. With a healthy lead around the first lap, Wilson was eventually ground down by overall event winner Liam Kilroy on Wildman. He and his team that included Steve Hunt, Stephanie Roble and Erik Shampain, snagged an early left shift out of the leeward gates and stayed in phase to take the bullet, securing the event win.
With Liam in first and his father John Kilroy on Samba Pa Ti finishing second overall, Wilson earned the performance of the weekend as he charged up the scoreboard to finish in third. Class veteran Daniel Thielman on Kuai finished fourth while a hard charging Drew Freides on Pacific Yankee took fifth after passing six boats on the final run.
The steady hand of Philadelphian John Brown on Blind Squirrel and his team of Kyle Rogachenko and George Demand sailed a consistent event to win the title of 2016 Melges 20 Corinthian Miami Winter Regatta Champion.
Sailing in his very first Melges 20 regatta ever with a team of young, aspiring sailboat racers from the Lake Geneva, WI, fourteen-year old Harry Melges IV kept the all-amatuer division tight with a nice seventh place in Race Four. Melges finished up the Winter Regatta as second Corinthian. Canada's Paul Currie on Wild Deuces completed the podium.
With two of the three MWS events complete, the overall Series has taken shape with Liam Kilroy holding the overall lead, followed closely by John Kilroy, and Jim Wilson in third, a pack of Class veterans aim to round out the top five. In just over four weeks, the third and final MWS event concludes at the Melges Rocks Regatta on March 4-6.
As always, a very sincere thanks to all the teams that competed this weekend. Without you and your dedication to the Melges 20 style of one-design racing, the Miami Winter Series (MWS) would not be possible. Also, a very special thanks to Coconut Grove Sailing Club (CGSC) and its deeply committed league of passionate volunteers, most especially to PRO Blake Middleton. Many thanks for the endless and unwavering support of Melges USA!

Someone mind posting a pic of Hayate? Its been too long since I've seen the first few episodes...
@Hunter: Actually, with Naruto being a shounen anime, I cant really see who else they could've killed off if they wanted to keep the "shounen" element intact.
If you like to see action + people dieing in an anime, watch Mai Hime

There're countless shounen manga not as deathless as Naruto or worst One Piece.
Rock Lee, Chouji, Neji
What I'm saying is that a fight isn't as good as it could be when you know that the good guys can't die no matter what even when they sacrifice themself.
What's the point of suicidal move if ultimately they barely mean a few days in a hospital.
I think I have the 10 first episodes of Mai Hime somewhere, never took the time to watch them though ^^

Hello buddeh! Just wanted to point out a few flaws in your argument.
1.) The Ice of Haku's walls arent just regular ice. They are laced with solid chakra and its a bloodline technique. I doubt Amaretsu will melt it. It will cover one Mirror in fire but it wont melt it.
2.) 2-dot Sharingan spotting Haku moving at that speed is bs. People move slower and he had trouble watching them. People had conversations when Gated Lee was rocking Gaara midair. Ungated Lee was much faster than a slightly better trained Sharingan. And we know Haku was moving as fast as the gates if not faster. He did lose a lot of speed later on as his chakra level dropped from playing around with the kids. But even the greatly reduced speed is not enough for 2-dot to spot. We saw the "water-drop scenario". Its crazy.
3.) Haku is moving at gate-speed. Even if Haku makes eye-contact, he moves so fast Itachi doesnt have time to blink and trigger Amaretsu or Tsukuyomi. Hes damn fast.
4.) Haku IS damn cool. If he trained and got upgraded after Timeskip like all the other Genins, he would have easily rocked Itachi. Or at least put 1 needle in each swirl of his Sharingan.
Point: Haku > Any Uchiha.
Secondary Point: Anyone (yes, even Ramen Girl or Akamaru) > Any Uchiha.

If Sasuke could see him with a brand-new Sharingan IN THE MIRRORS, and Kakashi with a more experienced Sharingan couldnt see Haku OUTSIDE THE MIRRORS then ... you do the math. Who's really playa-hating? Me? Or Kish??

The mirrors broke when Haku was projected through them by Naruto's blow and this blow didn't even hurt Haku that much.
The level of Sasuke's Katon jutsu wasn't enough by then to burn the mirror but higher ones would have turned them to nothing and I'm not talking about the Amaterasu.
As a matter of fact Haku stated that Sasuke was getting used to his speed and could avoid to be hit at vital spots while protecting Naruto at the same time whereas he didn't even have awakened the Sharingan yet and at the very moment he got it Haku couldn't hit him at all.
That's why Haku had to be smart and used Naruto's body as a bait to be able to hit Sasuke.
Fact is that Haku's best jutsu got beat by a Sasuke post Lee's speed and Chidori.
Sasuke at Chuunin exam level would have beat Haku rather easily and a post timeskip Sasuke would have obliterated him.

Have to agree with Hunter...Kishi have been reluctant to pull the trigger in this series..heck the only really good guy that has been killed is Saru, and he was not even that important to the storyline. Neeji Chouki and Gaara should had died.
@Eclipze I have seen the fisrt 5 Ep of Mai Hime, it came to a surprise to me that further on, characters are killed...

Instead of killing people off, much more people should've become permanently disabled from fighting in certain situations. People have been beaten up so heavily in some cases that you'd expect an arm to fall off or some permanent damage or change to a person. I dislike when a character is just ignored at some point and comes back with some new moves that have been trained "in the mean time", just because they quickly need an extra character.
Anyway Haku was a nice character and so was Kimimaru (sp), but killing them was a part of their appearance within naruto and did contribute something to the storyline.
But unfortunately if someone is hurt in naruto, he's never really permanently hurt and finds a way to deal with his injury. Orochimaru's disabled arms won't bother him much and neither will rock lee's injury. Even though drunken master rock lee's fight (The first one, not the filler one) was possibly the most awesome fight in the anime, I still think he shouldn't have gotten a comeback.

Its thanks to Chouji and Neji that i can't believe a naruto good guy can die...
Seriously, those scenes had much forsadowing and were so incredibly dramatized, and even included final thoughts... man, when i saw Chouji say his final thoughts and fall against the tree under the sunlight my first thought was "crap... he... died, and just when i was starting to like him too...", and after Neji fell with his final thoughts, i said "another... just died... man, kisimoto's a bastard, but i love it"... the worst moment was when those medical ninjas said that they were critically wounded and not dead... ya that was it... i loos all faith in seeig a character die...
Seriously, your not supposed to over dramatize that much if their gonna live -.-
grant it, i know there are plenty of shonen anime's that hold off on the killing... i just get ticked off when the anime gives off the feel like someone died, but then let the character live on... so evil...

Definitely Hayate, I want to see more of his sword jutsu, that will be so cool. The 3rd, the coolest (perverted) Hokage. The 3 sounds ninjas (Kin, Dosu, and the other guy dont know his name) use as Oro toy, but they were the coolest trio.

Haku and Zabuza:
This ending was very sad. It almost had me in tears. Well..not in tears, but I was very teary eyed. I wish they had lived, some more Haku or Zabuza action would have been cool
Yondaime and The Third:
It's very sad that these two hokages had to die for Konoha. Though, their deaths were not in vain, I still really wish atleast one of them had lived :|

Apple TV-to-SD TV adaptor price cut 40%
Only viable option?
Would-be Apple TV buyers looking to hook the iPod-style set-top-box to a standard-definition telly will be pleased to hear one of best ways of hooking the two up together is now rather cheaper.
J S Technology this week knocked the price of its component-video to RGB converter from £150 down to £90. In addition to RGB Scart output, the unit can also pump out a VGA signal for a computer monitor to display.
The price cut makes the converter a more viable way of connecting the £199 Apple TV to an old-style television.
How does it work? The converter performs the signal processing needed to change a the three component Y, Cr and Cb signals - brightness and two colour-difference values - into mathematically different red, green and blue (RGB) signals that can be transmitted down a Scart cable. It's the difference between the two types of signal that means you're not going to get a simple pin-to-pin component-to-Scart adaptor.
Incidentally, unless the Apple TV has a 4:3 mode - and there's no sign yet that it does - folk hoping to use the device with a 4:3 ratio TV will need to ensure their set has a 16:9 scan mode or they'll get a vertically stretched picture, video boffins tell us.
John Sim, the gadget's designer, told Register Hardware the price reduction was a permanent fixture as the company prepares to release a second, VGA-only device the supports a wider range of HD resolutions.
The converter is available from J S Technology's website here.

Over the last decade, there have been numerous calls to prosecute Cardinal Roger M. Mahony and his top aides for their mishandling of clergy sex abuse. At least three grand juries, two district attorneys and a U.S. attorney have subpoenaed documents and summoned witnesses. None of those cases resulted in charges against the archdiocese's hierarchy.
The release this week of a trove of internal church records showing a concerted effort to hide abuse from police triggered new demands from victims and church critics that Mahony and his advisors be held criminally accountable.
The Los Angeles County district attorney pledged to review all the files and evaluate them for criminal conduct, but legal experts consulted Tuesday said the reams of new documents were unlikely to lead to charges, let alone convictions.
A nearly insurmountable barrier is the statute of limitations, the experts said. A quarter-century has passed since Mahony and his chief aide for sex abuse cases, Msgr. Thomas J. Curry, wrote memos outlining strategies to prevent police investigations of three priests who had admitted abusing boys. The 1986 and 1987 letters fall decades beyond the three-year statute of limitations for felonies such as child endangerment, obstruction of justice and conspiracy to commit those offenses.

Guy Who Uploaded Early Version Of Wolverine, Which Appears Not To Have Hurt Movie At All, Gets 1 Year In Jail
from the punishment-=-crime? dept
I still think that Fox missed a huge opportunity in its idiotic response to this leak. It could have acted cool about it, and said something like:
Hey Wolverine fans! We know that you're all looking forward to the release of the movie next month. We're excited too! By now you may have heard that an early totally unfinished version has been leaked online. It's missing a whole bunch of stuff -- including some amazing special effects -- and honestly, this version isn't a finished product at all. We think you'll get a much better overall experience by waiting for the full finished product, but we certainly understand that some of you just can't wait (trust us, we feel the same way!). If that's the case, please, feel free to check it out, but please remember that this isn't even close to the final version. If anything, think of this as a "behind-the-scenes" peek of just what a movie looks like before all the real "movie magic" gets put in there. If you do check it out, we hope you'll join us May 1st to check out the finalized version as well on the big screen the way we intended for you to see this awesome movie. It's just a month away!Instead, it called in the FBI, who took time and resources away from things like fighting terrorism, to put this guy in jail for uploading a version of the film that wouldn't be a very good substitute, and which appears to have no negative impact on the box office whatsoever.

Yup, people are still making other people's stuff in Minecraft. Like this village, modelled after the starting point of Fez, and which thanks to the use of a custom texture pack looks terrific.
While the creator admits its not pixel perfect - he built the "front" perspective first then moved on from there - it's close enough to remain an impressive feat.

Izabella Katz
Born: May 28, 1924
Kisvarda, Hungary
Izabella was one of eight children raised in a religious Jewish family in the small town of Kisvarda in northeastern Hungary. Every Friday Izabella and her brother and four younger sisters went to the library to borrow the maximum number of books for their mother. Izabella attended public schools and longed to move to a big city.
1933-39: Antisemitism was prevalent. I can't count the number of times I was called "smelly Jew." We cringed at "Heil Hitler" speeches from Germany on the radio because we knew our neighbors would happily join up with the Nazis, and these were people with whom we'd shared our town for generations. My father went to the United States and desperately tried to obtain immigration papers for us.
1940-44: By the time Papa got our visas, Hungary was at war with America. Later, Hitler invaded Hungary. In April 1944 Jews were moved to Kisvarda's ghetto. On May 28 we were ordered to be ready to travel at 4 a.m. Smiling townspeople lined the street to watch us squeeze into cattle cars. At Auschwitz my mother and youngest sister were gassed. My sisters and I were put in camp "C." As the Soviets advanced, we were moved towards Germany to a labor camp. Force-marched west from there in a blizzard, we made a run for it.
Izabella and two of her sisters hid for two days and were liberated by the Soviets on January 25, 1945. They immigrated to the United States and joined their father.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - The St. Louis Rams' first-round draft pick, defensive tackle Michael Brockers, could make his debut this week coming off a high right ankle sprain.
Brockers was limited in practice Wednesday, but both the player and coach Jeff Fisher are optimistic about playing Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Brockers would be ahead of schedule after getting hurt in the preseason finale with an injury that typically sidelines players for a month.
The 322-pound Brockers thought there was a "pretty good chance" he'd play after his ankle held up during individual drills.
The 21-year-old Brockers was the 14th overall pick after two seasons at LSU and is the youngest player on the roster.

KABUL, Afghanistan — Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Monday sought to reassure an anxious public that security will not be compromised when the bulk of U.S. forces leave next year, saying the country needs American aid, not troops, in order to take over the fight against the Taliban.
Karzai said he expected the U.S. to continue training, equipping and paying Afghan national security forces.
"Afghanistan will be more secure after the foreigners leave," Karzai said at a news conference in Kabul. "We do need foreign assistance, but we don't need the presence of their troops."
Karzai's comments did not convince critics who contend that he returned from three days of meetings in Washington last week largely empty-handed.
"He cannot afford to tell the truth," said Daoud Sultanzoy, a Kabul-based political analyst. "The truth is that when … that many troops leave, the economy of this country will be affected, the security of this country will be affected."

Senior housing fire
About 100 people are scrambling for shelter after a fire severely damaged a Detroit-area apartment building for seniors.
No one was injured Saturday, but some residents used ladders to escape the blaze at the three-story Shelby Manor senior complex in Shelby Township. At least four apartments were a total loss. The cause is being investigated.
Residents in pajamas and sleeping caps gathered at a clubhouse. Eighty-three-year-old Sophia Sawicki says she got out of her apartment with her robe but no dentures. Floyd Wessel, who is 73, says it was scary.
Fire department Lt. Rodney Scrutchen described the scene as a "little chaotic." Nearly 30 units on the third floor have fire, smoke or water damage. The second floor has severe water damage.

Well, we were warned that Jeremiah Bishop's Alpine Loop Gran Fondo was "the most challenging and adventurous Gran Fondo in the United States", and we can now safely say that it was definitely the hardest road ride that this author has ever been on! Right from the start we (that's David and Chris, from our headquarters) could tell that we were in for an epic day in the countryside around Harrisonburg, VA. But let's begin at the beginning, as they say.
We started our adventure loading up the car in the rain, which we have a knack for finding whenever we head out. We drove up to Harrisonburg the night before the big ride to attend the gala dinner, where we got the chance to meet some of our fellow gran fondo riders, and even chat with Jeremiah Bishop himself. As he was all weekend, Jeremiah was approachable and excited to talk cycling – we talked about his experience riding in the pre-Olympic mountain bike test race (the course is harder than it looks) and he even talked a little smack about the upcoming Pisgah Mountain Bike Stage Race (where he's the 2-time defending champ). But mainly we talked about the route for the Gran Fondo – the route was designed by Jeremiah to be the most challenging training ride for himself and his friends that he could devise. He scoured Google Earth to find back roads, country lanes, wicked climbs and amazing views. He promised us that the route would make us think that we had been transported to the Alps, while also testing our limits to the fullest. When a guy with Jeremiah's record tells you that a ride is going to be hard, you tend to believe him.
The next day we were up early to get to the start in downtown Harrisonburg, VA. Greeting us was a crowd of almost 300 like-minded riders, ready to enjoy a slightly overcast day out on the road. Here we are kitted out in our Scattante Team jerseys and Forza bib shorts. We had updated our respective Scattante and Fuji road bikes with brand new Kenda Kriterium Endurance 700x25c tires, built to handle rugged roads with their puncture-resistant Iron Cloak protection (inflated to 95 psi, per Jeremiah's advice).
With the blowing of an alpine horn, we rolled out of town to start our long day in the saddle. Everyone started their respective route on the same road, in one big peloton (there were also shorter Medio and Piccolo route options). Jeremiah circulated throughout the pack, making sure that everyone was having a good time.
But after a convivial few miles at an easy pace, Jeremiah moved to the front and put the pedal down right before the first King of the Mountain climb (award jerseys were determined by your time on 2 pre-selected climbs, not on your overall time). The field quickly strung out over the 4 miles to the top of the Shenandoah, and we settled in to a pace we could maintain for the 70 miles we still had to ride. Of course the long climb up meant that a fantastic descent awaited us on the other side. We flew down the mountain to rural West Virginia roads, where the first rest stop awaited us. Fully stocked with tasty treats and friendly volunteers, you really could get used to this treatment! But we're here to talk about the ride, so we'll move along – to the dreaded first dirt road climb!
Photos can't do this monster justice – it was super steep and just slick enough that you couldn't stand up without your rear tire spinning out. Sometimes it felt like you were about to topple over backwards, and we saw more than one person walking with their bike. It made us think of what the earliest Tour de France riders must have faced, such as Octave Lapize in his assault on the dirt roads of the Tourmalet in 1910 (thankfully we had more than 2 gears)! Once over the top, it was time for the equally challenging dirt road descent to the valley below.
After this road, the ride was more of a blur, but in a good way. Our legs were toast, but the riding was fantastic – we rode through valleys, down deserted country roads, and through small West Virginia towns. Take a look at the picture below – it could just as easily be a photo from France or Switzerland as the Virginia/West Virginia countryside (and since we just rode in the Alps in July, this comparison was fresh in our minds).
Onward we rolled, sometimes joining up with other riders in a small pack, and sometimes just sailing along by ourselves. The course was so well-marked that there was never a chance of getting lost, so we just found a rhythm and kept on pedaling. Eventually we made it to the final KOM climb of the day, a 6 mile ascent to Reddish Knob, up another dirt road, of course. We just kept telling ourselves, Jeremiah really rides this as a training ride!
Once over the Shenandoah again, it was all downhill to the finish in Harrisonburg. No, scratch that, it was sort of downhill to the finish. The last 20 or so miles wound their way through the rolling farm fields outside of town, with barely any flat road in sight. Our route was expertly mapped to bypass the main roads into town, opting for the purely pastoral path, with plenty of friendly locals waving hello as we rode by (we even passed an Amish horse and buggy).
Finally we rolled into town and made it to the finish line festivities – with nary a flat tire between us all day thanks to our rugged Kenda tires. Food and finisher's medals were waiting for us as soon as we crossed the finish line – the helpful volunteers even had moist towels ready so we could clean off a day's worth of hard-earned grime. And it was indeed hard-earned, as we could see when we downloaded the data from our Garmin Edge 800 GPS bike computers. We rode over 90 miles in total, with almost 11,000 feet of climbing (and just as much descending). Once we got cleaned up, we caught up with Jeremiah to see what he thought about putting on his very first Gran Fondo, and also about his preparation for the Pisgah Mountain Bike Stage Race (mixed with some ride highlights we captured with our Contour GPS helmet cam):
So would we ride it again? Absolutely (although maybe give us a week to recover)! If you judge by the results page, you'll see that we didn't exactly light up the record books, but that's only part of what a Gran Fondo is all about. It's really about challenging yourself, experiencing something new, and just having fun. Jeremiah and his team of volunteers (led by his wife Erin) made sure that all of those boxes were checked for the Alpine Loop Gran Fondo. Definitely make plans to give it a try next year, because now that Jeremiah has let everyone in on his secret training ride, this event is only going to get bigger and better. Just bring a positive attitude and your climbing legs and you'll have a great time.

|Main Features
|Type of Split
|Wall Mounted
|Number of Indoor Units
|Cooling Capacity (Tonnes)
What it means?
Cooling capacity of an airconditioner is measured in tonnes. The tonnage of an air conditioner depends on its BTU/hr (British Thermal Units per hour) value.
How it works?
As a thumb rule, divide the square feet area of your room (length multiplied by width) by 600 to arrive at the basic tonnage capacity required. Add 0.5 tonnes for every 10 people occupying the room at the same time. Similarly, add 0.5 tonnes for every 1500 watts of appliances or lighting present in the room (A computer would consume about 300 watts and a regular bulb, 40 to 60 watts). Always round off on the higher side. This calculation is very subjective and each manufacturer has his own calculations for measuring required tonnage. Approx area of 130 sq.ft. would require 1 ton airconditioner. Very often manufacturers calculations suggest a number that is very high and your own discretion is required when you actually decide to buy.
Choosing the correct cooling capacity helps reduce your electricity bills. A larger airconditioner than what is required not only costs more but cools too quickly, switching on and off at very short intervals. This leaves the room unpleasantly cold and humid. On the other hand an air conditioner that is small for the room will take a longer period to cool the room and will not give very good results.
|BEE Star Rating
What it means?
The BEE (Bureau of Energy Efficiency) India, in collaboration with the International Institute of Energy Conservation, has come up with a star rating system.
How it works?
The star rating system is a way of measuring energy efficiency. It�s applied to all electronic products such as refrigerators, TVs, ACs and so on. Every AC model can get its EER tested and get a star rating. Currently, it�s voluntary, not mandatory for companies to get a star rating for their models.
Higher the Star rating of the AC, lesser is its power consumption.
|Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER)
What it means?
Energy Efficiency Ratio measures the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner compared to the power it consumes. It is the ratio of the cooling capacity in BTU/hr to its electricity consumption in watts. Machines with higher EERs help save on electricity consumption.
How it works?
Models with a higher EER would be energy efficient and save on your electric bills but may be more expensive to buy.
Higher EER is better as it saves power.
|Power Consumption
|Total Power Consumption (Watts)
|Compressor Type
What it means?
Compressor type indicates the type of compressor that is fitted with your split airconditioners outdoor unit. Compressors are of three types: Reciprocating, Rotary or Scroll.
How it works?
The compressor in the AC circulates the refrigerant (a cooling fluid charged by the AC manufacturer) through all the refrigeration system parts to provide uninterrupted cooling in the room.
Scroll compressors have the highest efficiency and are very reliable. This is as such a better option to go for.
|Number of Compressors
|Refrigerant Gas
What it means?
It is a type of filter which cleans the air from smoke, dust and germs.
How it works?
Filters clean the air as it flows through the airconditioner. Ionising filter generate negative ions which combine with positive ions in the air to give clean air, free of smoke, dust and germs.

Jesus, Rex, It's the first preseason game. Greg McElroy was in at quarterback.
Between his defense having too many players on the field, and an inability to get a referee's attention to call time out, we're not sure what Rex is mad at. Probably both. Probably everything.

Ingredients (makes 14 buns):
7g instant dry yeast
170ml lukewarm water
½ tsp white vinegar or lemon juice
280g low-protein flour aka hong kong flour
100g wheat starch
90g icing sugar
30g shortening or vegetable oil
10g baking powder
Food colouring (I used liquid type)
Cocoa Powder (I used 100% cocoa)
350g red bean paste, divided and shaped into 14 balls
- Sift together flours and icing sugar. Place sifted flour mixture in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the middle.
- Fill well with lukewarm water, vinegar and yeast. Use a spatula, gently stir the water to dissolve the yeast then slowly bring together flour mixture.
- Add in shortening or oil and knead for 10-15 minutes until soft dough is formed. It should be smooth on the surface.
- Cover dough with damp cloth and let it rise for 30 minutes or until it is doubled in size. I used bread maker's dough mode to prepare my dough up to this step.
- Dissolve baking powder in cold water, sprinkle over dough and knead until well combined. Divide dough into 16 equal portions. Use 2 portions for decoration, add and mix in food colouring as desired. Set aside.
- To make bun, flatten a white dough with a rolling pin to make a 3" circle. Then place filling in the middle, wrap and pinch the dough to seal. Place it on a 1.5" square parchment paper, seal side down. Repeat this step for the rest of bun.
- Roll coloured doughs into desired thickness, cut out ears, eyes and etc. Lightly brush the part to be stick on the bun with water, then stick in on the bun. If possible, decorate all buns within 10 minutes after wrapping in filling.
- Arrange buns into a steamer, leave about 1" gab in between buns. Spray water mist over buns, and steam in a preheated steamer on high heat for 10 minutes. Remove buns from steamer and cool on rack to prevent soggy bottom.

Bullpen's collapse spoils strong start from Redmond
TORONTO -- Manager John Gibbons has been known for his ability to maximize his bullpen, but on Friday night at Rogers Centre, he may have overplayed his hand.
Blue Jays starter Todd Redmond was twirling a gem into the seventh inning vs. the Orioles, but he was surprisingly removed with a three-run lead, a man on third and one away.View Full Game Coverage
TORONTO -- Manager John Gibbons has been known for his ability to maximize his bullpen, but on Friday night at Rogers Centre, he may have overplayed his hand.
Blue Jays starter Todd Redmond was twirling a gem into the seventh inning vs. the Orioles, but he was surprisingly removed with a three-run lead, a man on third and one away.View Full Game Coverage
Dustin McGowan entered in his place and proceeded to allow the lead to evaporate, with Steve Delabar allowing the final blow on a home run from Chris Davis in the eighth as the Blue Jays fell, 5-3, to the Orioles.
"Good question," Gibbons said when asked why he made the move to pull Redmond. "I know my guys pretty good, and the plan was there that if he ran into any trouble, that I was going to go get him. We had our guys, and McGowan's one of the hottest guys lately. It backfired, but that was the plan."
When he was removed, Redmond had allowed just three hits, struck out seven and had thrown only 75 pitches in what was easily his best outing of the season. The right-hander had also pitched a career-high 6 1/3 innings and had lots left in the tank.
Gibbons, however, made the move to bring in his seventh-inning man in McGowan to help preserve the three-run lead.
The hard-throwing right-hander promptly allowed the inherited runner, Adam Jones, to score from third on a double by J.J. Hardy. After a walk and a popout, McGowan surrendered a two-run double to Steve Clevenger to tie the game at 3.
Despite the move costing what could have been his fourth win of the season, Redmond wasn't bothered by the manager's decision.
"It's whenever Gibby wants to take me out. It's his choice," Redmond said. "I was just trying to keep the game close so we had a chance to win."
While Redmond provided the solid start the club needed, the return of both Colby Rasmus and Edwin Encarnacion helped boost the offense.
Toronto's wounded duo returned to the lineup from injuries and scored a run apiece, with Rasmus hitting his 19th home run of the season.
Most of their damage came against Orioles starter Jason Hammel, who was making just his second appearance since returning from an injury of his own and wasn't as sharp as Redmond.
Despite giving up just three hits and a walk over five innings, the right-hander saw plenty of hard-hit balls, with two of them leading to all the Toronto runs.
In the fourth, Adam Lind drilled a two-run home run into the first deck in right field to put the Blue Jays up, 2-0. It was the 20th homer of the season for the Blue Jays' first baseman, the fourth time he's accomplished the feat in his career.
An inning later, Rasmus proved his oblique injury was a thing of the past as he hit a home run off Hammel into the Orioles' bullpen in right to extend the Toronto lead to 3-0.
While McGowan's seventh-inning blowup let the lead slip away, the Blue Jays did have one more good opportunity to score in the bottom half of the frame.
Brett Lawrie reached third with one away, but Baltimore reliever Tommy Hunter struck out Moises Sierra and J.P. Arencibia to end the threat.
Delabar then allowed Davis' 50th home run of the season in the eighth to put the Orioles up for good.
"It was a good pitch by Delabar, but he just hit the bottom of the ball and he's so strong that he back-spinned it enough to get it out," Hammel said. "It's a good hitter's ballpark. But to hit a pitch like that, it's hats off to him, he's been doing it all year."
"I knew I barreled it up, but I kind of just tried to go the other way with two strikes," Davis said. "I've faced Steve a few times and you can't look for his split as hard as he throws. I was just trying to put a good swing on it and stay through it."
Davis' homer completed the comeback, spoiling another solid outing from Redmond. The 28-year-old rookie has impressed since becoming a starter as he continues to try to make an impression at the big league level.
Redmond was called up in May and joined the rotation in July. Since then he's allowed three earned runs or fewer in all but one of his 11 starts, with a 4.18 ERA and 62 strikeouts in 56 innings.
Redmond was claimed off waivers from the Orioles prior to the start of the season, and his play has come as a bit of a surprise to the organization.
"He really came out of nowhere," Gibbons said. "He caught our attention out there in San Diego, he came in and pitched a few innings in an extra-innings game and ended up getting the loss, but we saw it and we liked it. Since he's had the chance to start he's been a pleasant surprise for us."
With the rotation in 2014 very much in doubt, Redmond hopes that he's making the case for himself to be a part of the equation next year.
"I hope so," Redmond said. "This year, I just look one start at a time, and next year is next year. I hope I am. I just go out there and do my best, and help the team win."
