Care of your Horse's Neck Cover:
To keep your neck cover as comfortable as possible for your horse and to maximize the hood's life, we recommend that you clean your hood annually. First, remove excess dirt from the outside of the hood with a brush and hose. The blanket can then be washed either by hand, or on a delicate cycle with cool water in a commercial washer. Use only very mild soap. When the hood has been washed, allow to drip dry and ensure that the hood is thoroughly dry before storage. Do not put your horse's hood in the dryer or wash with hot water. Do not store your horse's hood if damp or wet. This will damage the waterproof coating and void any warranties.

The 21-11425 Hot Air Rework Station is a compact sized rework station with closed loop control, LED display and modulated air flow making it ideal for multiple applications. Fast and stable temperature rise add to the convenience.
After owning the 72-6202 true RMS multimeter and 21-147a solder station for around 16 years I expect to be pleased with my purchase. Until 10-2012 I've only replaced test leads, fuses and batteries in my multi-meter. If it didn't read correctly replace the battery. As for the solder station the only part that wasn't a common service part was the on-off switch that failed after several years of daily service. Replace the tips and sponges regularly along with keeping the station clean while visually inspecting it has given me years and years of faithful service. I put off purchasing a rework station due to cost for quite some time as electronic repair is a secondary income theses days. Everything is moving to SMD/BGA chips and a standard soldering/desoldering set no longer gets the job done. With Tenma's unit coming in around one hundred dollars it was time. After reviewing others plus viewing the available replacement parts list I find this a solid purchase. Upon receipt set up was as easy as two screws to set either left or right hand mounting of the gun. Select from one of the three included tips, set your temp and airspeed. Profit.... I promptly popped a breaker at my workstation upon first trial, please note this thing pulls a lot of current for the first 30 seconds. 700 watts rated and 721 according to my kill-a-watt meter during startup with air and temp. at max settings. Not a big deal, just had solder/desolder/ power supply and lamp on same loop. No noticeable feedback or emi to lights/ desktop/ laptop/ tablet computers or home and cell phones on same bench or wireless signals. Also runs internal fan until low temperature is reached before full sleep mode. Calibratable. Will check with k-type later. One note: you may wish to take this outside or have fume extractor for first few minutes of operation. Puts out a strong odor until packaging greases have been burned off.

We Reduced Our Apple Position
So it is with most technology ETFs that have 20-25% in Apple (AAPL) including the ETFs we use for "large" separate account and RRGR which is the ETF we manage. The way the numbers work out our position in Apple, by virtue of its weighting in IYW and IXN was around 4% of the portfolio. I seem to remember Apple's weight being 10-12% of tech ETFs a few years ago but of course the stock has done much better than most of the sector and has grown to now being 20-25%.
In the last month the stock is up 15% which is far ahead of the sector. The recent lift is probably due at least in part to excitement about the next version of the iPhone, apparently iPhone 5, the iPad Mini and the prospects of what iTV might end up being. The recently initiated dividend hasn't hurt either.
In the last few years the products and the stock have both become ubiquitous. The stock has been the largest by market cap for a while now and it seems like there has been a contest among sell side analysts to come up with ever higher price targets.
I have no great bear case for Apple specifically but there are some markers in this instance that have meant trouble in the past for other stocks. Other than Exxon Mobil (XOM) it has been difficult for companies to maintain the top market cap spot. Many people believe the stock is different. The business with analysts and price targets is reminiscent of the dot com era. A little more anecdotal, it seems like any interview with a portfolio manager includes "so how much Apple do you own." As mentioned in a recent post, if you watch stock market television for a few hours you will be made acutely aware that there at least a serious infatuation with the stock although you probably know this already.
Again, this is not a fundamental bear case just a few words of caution about a stock that has grown dramatically to become about 4% of the portfolio picking up some warning signs along the way.
Our trade was to sell half of clients' core tech ETF position and roll that dollar for dollar into the new First Trust Nasdaq Technology Dividend ETF (TDIV). TDIV has no Apple for now and based on my understanding of the methodology will not have Apple for at least a year and when it finally is added it will target about a 7% weighting.
The net effect was to cut our Apple exposure in half after a breakout that I think is discounting in near term future news such that I think the product announcements are mostly in the price now.
TDIV is a dividend oriented fund. I called into First Trust and was told the yield for the index is "a little over 3%" which would put the yield for the fund in the mid-high twos but I have seen other commentary that says the yield is quite a bit higher than what I was told. TDIV, similar to XLK from SPDR has a small allocation to telecom so to be precise we have reduced our tech exposure a little but if the market rips higher then the tech portion will grow faster and the fund should pick up some tech beta until the next rebalance. If the market pukes down then the tech portion will will go down faster and the fund will become more defensive until the next rebalance.
As far as the yield I will assume mid-high twos which is better than we've been getting in our other funds. This shift also makes some sense if we are later in the stock market cycle and given that the SPX bottomed 41 months ago, that seems plausible.
If Apple skyrockets from here, we still own the stock albeit in a smaller weighting, a little under 2% now. If the stock goes to $1,111, as one analyst is calling for, then our position would grow to a little over 3%.
We've had good/lucky experiences with reducing positions into what seems like a euphoric environment quite a few times in the past including gold about a year ago and are likely to stick with the strategy. I view it as a can't lose trade; if it goes down then we reduced at a good time and if it goes up we still own it.
The picture is of the Grand Tetons through a window at the Cunningham Cabin.

This reminds me of a question I'd been meaning to ask, since you often use individual stocks as a sector proxy.
If you are not comfortable getting specifics, that's cool.
Suppose that you have a history in farming, and you recognize that food supply will be a bigger and bigger issue in the future. Suppose you believe Jeremy Grantham is right that this will be a massive issue, but you can't really execute his idea of buying land.
Are there "types" of investments that could act as a proxy for agriculture beyond grain futures ETFs or agriculture equipment manufacturers? - 12:34 PM
- Anonymous said...
Although I'm not Roger, I thought I would chime in.
I would say be careful of recency bias; that the past few years of good returns in the agricultural economy will continue into the future. For example, what about people who wrote off Apple stock as a "has been" under Amelio's leadership? Look at Apple now. I think you could extend a similar analysis to the farm sector now. Instead of extending the recent poor performance of a stock into the future, you may be attempting to extend good performance of the agricultural sector into the future.
I don't think it can be emphasized enough how dependent U.S. Agricuture is on government policy whether it is commodity price support programs, subsidized crop insurance, ethanol mandates etc. Those programs can vanish quickly at the whim of politicians and would in turn cause a huge disruption/adjustment to the agricultural economy. Would that be positive or negative for an investor at these prices? Who knows? But, I would venture to say there is not much margin of safety now. That's not to say things can't continue to improve, but I would say that betting on it is more speculative than a solid investment.
IMO, the investment area with a more attractive margin of safety with the potential for satisfactory investment returns is Europe.
That doesn't answer your question. But let me ask you this. What if you can find your proxy, and you do invest in it, and your analysis (or Grantham's) is wrong? What then? - 3:16 PM

SD, I will attempt to address this with tomorrow's post. Thank you.

Anon 3:16 here again
Another bias to be aware of is confirmation bias. It manifests itself in one form when one only seeks information which confirms one's preconceived notion of how things are or should be.
To provide a credible alternative viewpoint, I recently read an interesting article in Corn and Soybean Digest written by Richard Brock titled, "Drought = Ag Bubble/" which can be found here:
Also, it won't be long before politicians catch wind that farmers are actually netting more per acre in this so called drought disaster if they have federal crop insurance than if they had a normal crop. There are already farm state politicians who believe government programs should be curbed because farming (major commodity crops) has become almost riskless. Obviously, livestock, certain produce etc. have not.
I think there is little doubt that land values will drop when per acre revenues/profits drop. This will affect everyone in the agricultural supply chain too. - 4:38 PM
- Stephen Drone said...
Crop insurance does not net you the same as crop yield. You must provide multiple years worth of "proof of yield" to obtain crop insurance; once you've proven a particular field (and you have to to provide years of paperwork for each field) your price is determined by the yield you want to insure. I don't think I've ever heard of a farmer insuring for 100% yield since it'd be prohibitively expensive, but I guess it could happen if you were willing to pay for it.
I'm aware that 40% of the (yellow) corn crop goes to ethanol production (I think that will have to end in the next decade or 2). But I'm also aware that 50% of the soybean crop - and growing - is shipped to China. Some large percentage of pork production goes to China. We made big gains via more land (80s), double cropping etc. (90s) and genetically modified seed - but OTOH population growth is speeding up. India and China have ridiculously inefficient farms, and China is losing arable land every year.
I'm aware of recency bias (my brother retired the year before the first big surge in corn prices) but I'm not looking at potential food supply issues as a short term problem.
As for "what then?" well, I'm not sure how to answer a trivial question except with a trivial answer: the investment loses money. I'd find it relatively hard to believe any argument that says "the world would need the same or less food in 20 years or 30 years" but that, of course, is no guarantee of success. But I don't believe 3 to 4 (maybe 5, probably not) percentage points of my total portfolio under-performing the market is going to keep me from retiring when I decide to retire. - 6:53 PM

I'd love to see proof of either one of these. - 6:56 PM

For one, Senator Grassley proposed income test limits in order to qualify for crop insurannce during the latest round of farm bill negotiation. That's about as farm state as it gets.
With regard to profitability by collecting crop insurance indemnity, there is an article that says just that at the corn and soybean website I cited. I kind of know what I'm talking about since I adjust crop insurance policies.
Thanks for engaging me on the subject. You certainly seem to be well informed.
I did read about and watch an interesting video on positive health effects of fasting. One of the facts that was presented was that life expectancy actually increased during the great depression when food became scarce. Perhaps someday calories per person consumption will decrease if there is something to this. - 5:42 AM
- Stephen Drone said...
the 2nd question wasn't about "farm state." it was about "riskless." I'm guessing that you cannot buy crop insurance if you don't plant a crop. So there's your risk. Further, if you don't plant a crop for say, a year, the documented yield on that field drops dramatically.
As for the first question, maybe you're talking about this article: http://cornandsoybeandigest.com/marketing/real-crop-insurance-value
Again - I'm guessing you don't sell crop insurance to farmers who don't plant a crop. - 7:40 AM
- Anonymous said...
Been out of town.
Yes, you can collect crop insurance if you don't plant a crop. It's called prevented planting. Insurance companies pay out millions each year for causes such as: too wet, too dry, failure of irrigation supplies. The yield does not drop. There is what's known as a "yield plug" in the database for year's that you cannot plant. This is one reason land values are inflated.
Most farmers buy "revenue protection" which protects them against a drop in yield or price. Since the harvest price that will be used to calculate an indemnity will more than double from the base price, this results in farmers who don't have a crop reaping a huge profit on a per acre basis. And guess who is the najor re-insurer for the crop insruance companies...that's right...you are. The U.S. Taxpayer.
I work claims all the time where the farmer is paid when there is o crop. - 2:32 PM

Asparagus and Mushroom Pasta
- 1 large bunch of fresh asparagus
- 1 package of baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 very small onion (or use half of one – to taste)
- 1 clove garlic
- fresh basil, oregano
- vegan linguini noodles
- olive oil
- 1 jar of prepared organic pasta sauce (or make your own)
- cook linguini per package directions and set aside.
- to steam the asparagus: wash all spears in cool water, cut about an inch off bottom of each spear, Use kitchen string to tie asparagus spears into small bundles.

Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics
Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is a computational method used for simulating fluid flows. It was developed by Gingold and Monaghan (1977) and Lucy (1977) initially for astrophysical problems. It has been used in many fields of research, including astrophysics, ballistics, volcanology, and oceanography. It is a mesh-free Lagrangian method (where the coordinates move with the fluid), and the resolution of the method can easily be adjusted with respect to variables such as the density.
The smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method works by dividing the fluid into a set of discrete elements, referred to as particles. These particles have a spatial distance (known as the "smoothing length", typically represented in equations by ), over which their properties are "smoothed" by a kernel function. This means that the physical quantity of any particle can be obtained by summing the relevant properties of all the particles which lie within the range of the kernel. For example, using Monaghan's popular cubic spline kernel the temperature at position depends on the temperatures of all the particles within a radial distance of .
The contributions of each particle to a property are weighted according to their distance from the particle of interest, and their density. Mathematically, this is governed by the kernel function (symbol ). Kernel functions commonly used include the Gaussian function and the cubic spline. The latter function is exactly zero for particles further away than two smoothing lengths (unlike the Gaussian, where there is a small contribution at any finite distance away). This has the advantage of saving computational effort by not including the relatively minor contributions from distant particles.
The equation for any quantity at any point is given by the equation
where is the mass of particle , is the value of the quantity for particle , is the density associated with particle , denotes position and is the kernel function mentioned above. For example, the density of particle () can be expressed as:
where the summation over includes all particles in the simulation.
Similarly, the spatial derivative of a quantity can be obtained easily by virtue of the linearity of the derivative (del, ).
Although the size of the smoothing length can be fixed in both space and time, this does not take advantage of the full power of SPH. By assigning each particle its own smoothing length and allowing it to vary with time, the resolution of a simulation can be made to automatically adapt itself depending on local conditions. For example, in a very dense region where many particles are close together the smoothing length can be made relatively short, yielding high spatial resolution. Conversely, in low-density regions where individual particles are far apart and the resolution is low, the smoothing length can be increased, optimising the computation for the regions of interest. Combined with an equation of state and an integrator, SPH can simulate hydrodynamic flows efficiently. However, the traditional artificial viscosity formulation used in SPH tends to smear out shocks and contact discontinuities to a much greater extent than state-of-the-art grid-based schemes.
The Lagrangian-based adaptivity of SPH is analogous to the adaptivity present in grid-based adaptive mesh refinement codes. In some ways it is actually simpler because SPH particles lack any explicit topology relating them, unlike the elements in FEM. Adaptivity in SPH can be introduced in two ways; either by changing the particle smoothing lengths or by splitting SPH particles into 'daughter' particles with smaller smoothing lengths. The first method is common in astrophysical simulations where the particles naturally evolve into states with large density differences.[1] However, in hydrodynamics simulations where the density is often (approximately) constant this is not a suitable method for adaptivity. For this reason particle splitting can be employed, with various conditions for splitting ranging from distance to a free surface [2] through to material shear.[3]
Often in astrophysics, one wishes to model self-gravity in addition to pure hydrodynamics. The particle-based nature of SPH makes it ideal to combine with a particle-based gravity solver, for instance tree gravity,[4] particle mesh, or particle-particle particle-mesh.
Uses in astrophysics[edit]
The adaptive resolution of smoothed-particle hydrodynamics, combined with its ability to simulate phenomena covering many orders of magnitude, make it ideal for computations in theoretical astrophysics.
Simulations of galaxy formation, star formation, stellar collisions, supernovae and meteor impacts are some of the wide variety of astrophysical and cosmological uses of this method.
SPH is used to model hydrodynamic flows, including possible effects of gravity. Incorporating other astrophysical processes which may be important, such as radiative transfer and magnetic fields is an active area of research in the astronomical community, and has had some limited success.[5]
Uses in fluid simulation[edit]
Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics is being increasingly used to model fluid motion as well. This is due to several benefits over traditional grid-based techniques. First, SPH guarantees conservation of mass without extra computation since the particles themselves represent mass. Second, SPH computes pressure from weighted contributions of neighboring particles rather than by solving linear systems of equations. Finally, unlike grid-base technique which must track fluid boundaries, SPH creates a free surface for two-phase interacting fluids directly since the particles represent the denser fluid (usually water) and empty space represents the lighter fluid (usually air). For these reasons it is possible to simulate fluid motion using SPH in real time. However, both grid-based and SPH techniques still require the generation of renderable free surface geometry using a polygonization technique such as metaballs and marching cubes, point splatting, or "carpet" visualization. For gas dynamics it is more appropriate to use the kernel function itself to produce a rendering of gas column density (e.g. as done in the SPLASH visualisation package).
One drawback over grid-based techniques is the need for large numbers of particles to produce simulations of equivalent resolution. In the typical implementation of both uniform grids and SPH particle techniques, many voxels or particles will be used to fill water volumes which are never rendered. However, accuracy can be significantly higher with sophisticated grid-based techniques, especially those coupled with particle methods (such as particle level sets), since it is easier to enforce the incompressibility condition in these systems. SPH for fluid simulation is being used increasingly in real-time animation and games where accuracy is not as critical as interactivity.
Recent work in SPH for Fluid simulation has increased both performance and accuracy:
- B. Solenthaler, 2009, develops Predictive-Corrective SPH (PCISPH) to allow for better incompressibility constraints[6]
- M. Ihmsen et al., 2010, introduce boundary handling and adaptive time-stepping for PCISPH for accurate rigid body interactions[7]
- K. Bodin et al., 2011, replace the standard equation of state pressure equation with a density constraint and applies a variational time integrator. [8]
- R. Hoetzlein, 2012, develops efficient GPU-based SPH for large scenes in Fluids v.3[9]
- M. Macklin et al., 2013 simulates incompressible flows inside the Position Based Dynamics framework, for bigger timesteps [10]
Uses in solid mechanics[edit]
In 1990, Libersky and Petschek [11][12] extended SPH to Solid Mechanics.
The main advantage of SPH is the possibility of dealing with larger local distortion than grid-based methods. This feature has been exploited in many applications in Solid Mechanics: metal forming, impact, crack growth, fracture, fragmentation, etc. Another important advantage of meshfree methods in general, and of SPH in particular, is that mesh dependence problems are naturally avoided given the meshfree nature of the method. In particular, mesh alignment is related to problems involving cracks and it is avoided in SPH due to the isotropic support of the kernel functions. However, classical SPH formulations suffer from tensile instabilities [13] and lack of consistency.[14] Over the past years, different corrections have been introduced to improve the accuracy of the SPH solution. That is the case of Liu et al.,[15] Randles and Libersky [16] and Johnson and Beissel,[17] who tried to solve the consistency problem. Dyka et al.[18][19] and Randles and Libersky [20] introduced the stress-point integration into SPH and Belytschko et al.[21] showed later that the stress-point technique removes the instability due to spurious singular modes while tensile instabilities can be avoided by using a Lagrangian kernel. Many other recent studies can be found in the literature devoted to improve the convergence of the SPH method.
The recent improvements on the convergence and stabilility of SPH have allowed the use of SPH in more and more applications concerning Solid Mechanics. Here there are some examples of its last applications and recent developments of the method:
- Libersky and Petschek [11] modified the SPH method in order to solve Strength of Materials problems.
- Johnson and Beissel [17] and Randles and Libersky [16] applied SPH to impact phenomena.
- Bonet and Kulasegaram applied SPH to metal forming simulations.[22]
- William G. Hoover developed a SPH-based method whose acronym is SPAM (smooth-particle applied mechanics) to study impact fracture in solids.[23]
- Rabczuk and co-workers applied a modified SPH (SPH/MLSPH) to simulate fracture and fragmentation.[24]
- Herreros and Mabssout developed the Taylor-SPH (TSPH) method to overcome the problem of shock wave propagation in solids.[25]

Child Development
Back To School Advice From Dance Mom and Educator Holly
Backpacks, pencils, and notebooks- oh my!! It's that time of year again. Back to school!! Gone are the lazy hazy days of summer and here is the return of hectic schedules and early morning rises.
As long as I can remember I always enjoyed this time of year. As a child I eagerly anticipated the first day of school and packing up my school supplies as if I was headed on an adventure or expedition. The joy of embarking on a new educational journey each year was exhilarating as a student and still remains just as exciting as an adult. It is hard to believe that I have been going to school for over 35 years. The joy of learning has made me an eternal student and it is my hope that my joy excites those around me as well.
Let's take a moment to reflect on the lessons I have learned over the years:
Consistent and predictable. Being consistent and predictable is essential for student success. Children need clear parameters and parents need to ensure that these guidelines are enforced so students feel supported and safe. It is normal for children to test limits. Testing limits is developmentally appropriate but it is critical for parents to establish when a line has been crossed. Children are looking to adults to maintain that the boundary remains intact. Establishing boundaries creates a safety net for children to explore and make mistakes. Even if a child may initially balk at a parent enforcing the expectations do not despair. That is part of the cycle but do not cave in - consistency is important. Always listen and communicate effectively.
Study to learn and learn to study. There is a subtle but critical difference in this statement. Both are important to a student's development but both need to occur so a student can continue to evolve and grow. It is not surprising that students need to study so they can learn. In order to learn a student must study. Yet, it is the piece about learning how to study that is often overlooked. Studying is a skill. Skills need to be developed. Some skills may even need to be learned. In order for students to learn effectively they must develop the appropriate study skills. I discuss study skills a little bit towards the end of this blog.
Habits of mind. Encouraging students to engage in the world in a series of thinking-routines and exercises allows them to develop a skill set where they can think flexibly and creatively. Regurgitating knowledge does not equate to being an educated individual. However, the ability to think flexibly and apply knowledge in meaningful and relevant ways demonstrates your understanding of learned content in its relation to the world. The importance of gaining knowledge is not simply to possess it but to use it to solve problems in a real world context.
Product vs. Process. Although grades are important it is important that children recognize that a grade is not necessarily the most important part of the educational experience. Grades matter and they do count- absolutely yes. However, it is the journey where one gains some of the most invaluable experience. Sometimes students are so consumed with getting the right answer that they lose focus on what they learned from the errors that they made. The process often provides the greatest learning opportunities and it is important that children do not discount that.
Study skills. Learning a wealth of knowledge is terrific, but equally important are the invaluable study skills that students should learn as part of the educational experience. Children will not have parents to micromanage their studies as they get older so it is important for children to hone developmentally appropriate study skills. Work with your child in developing good time management techniques they learn as they balance extracurricular activities, homework and long term projects. Daily studying and cramming for a test are two different types of studying. One will deliver a more long- term benefit while the other meets an immediate need.
A substantial part of study skills should focus on organization. Some of my brightest students were hindered by poor organizational skills. I always encouraged parents to develop an organizational system that you can manage. Do not invest in anything that is too elaborate or time consuming. It has to be functional and approachable. If the system is too involved you probably will not use it because it is too much work. Remember the system is supposed to help you, not hurt you.
Note-taking and listening skills are other elements of study skills that can be overlooked but are equally vital. These are timeless skills that can be transferred to any setting, college or workplace. Study skills are in many ways the life long skills that make us successful adults.

Stile: Christie's strategy on gun control is to wait
The former federal prosecutor, who once hunted down out-of-state gun traffickers, had a chance to make a blunt, compelling case for tighter gun laws last week. But Governor Christie took a pass.
Christie, who now grabs the nation's attention every time he thunders from his Trenton pulpit, went low-key and cautious, refusing to feed the 24-hour media cycle he has so masterfully exploited over the past four years.
He unveiled the mother of all Trenton play-it-safe strategies — a task force with a clever acronym, staffed with experts and elder statesmen and put on a 60-day deadline to deliver suggestions.
Christie gave it a no-holds-barred mandate to explore root causes of violence, like mental illness, the potential impact of violent video games, and drug and alcohol addiction. He wants issues like school security explored. Oh, and let's not forget, gun control. Possible improvements to New Jersey laws will be studied but only as a piece of the larger, "holistic" approach to reducing violence.
"If we call this just gun control, in my view we're missing out on the bigger story," Christie said. "We have to call this violence control."
Of course, the sentiment and purpose is perfectly sensible, even laudable. After all, a horrified nation has been asking those very questions since Adam Lanza, armed with a high-capacity semiautomatic rifle, massacred 20 children and six adults at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school last month. It's also a nation now demanding new restrictions on the sale of guns and ammunition.
But Christie, who didn't mention gun control or the Newtown massacre in his State of the State speech, signaled that he's not an enthusiastic champion of more gun laws. While he said the panel is not to have its hands tied with preconceived conclusions, he also took pains to restate his "very clear" position, which is, that New Jersey should enforce the strong laws it already has on the books. It was as if he was telling panel members standing behind him that they probably shouldn't waste too much of their time exploring new gun restrictions.
And when pressed by reporters to weigh in on the national debate on issues such as a federal ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, Christie has avoided the question.
"You can ask me as many times as you want, and when I believe it's appropriate for me to give an opinion on that, I'll give one," he said last Thursday.
Christie has tried to walk a fine line as a Republican governor running for reelection in a Democratic Northeast state. He surprised the political establishment last month by criticizing the National Rifle Association's call for putting armed guards in public schools. And Christie said an NRA attack video that featured the president's two daughters was "reprehensible." Those headlines help moderate his image in blue Jersey.

Bob Hunt's abstract paintings are filled with vibrant colors and texture. Bob puts an emphasis on the actual process and physical activity of painting. He is most interested in the manipulation of the medium and the subconscious imagery that surface creating magnificent abstract works. He says that he has destroyed many images trying to articulate the elusive. His collections range from works on canvas, boards and paper. His creations are featured in several galleries across the United States.
View all of Bob Hunt's work.
Most of Bob's work starts out as non-objective. Some remain as such, while others become recognizable entities. Journey to the Ambient Light and Succumb are two that started as non-objective paintings but soon became landscapes. Bob then amplified them with an ethereal quality because he didn't want to depict a landscape only. His objective was to establish a unique perception for each viewer, specifically a personal connection that others might not experience, allowing the viewer's own feelings and experiences to become part of the painting.

EDMONTON - Several Edmonton-area school boards say they aren't concerned a lack of interested contractors will delay the building of their new schools.
Lori Nagy, spokeswoman for Edmonton Catholic Schools, said the province notified her school board in October that only one group had bid on the province's call to design, build, finance and maintain 19 new schools across the province. The province initially planned to pick three bid finalists before choosing one to start construction next summer. But only Calgary's Gracorp Capital and Graham Construction expressed interest, with others saying they didn't have enough manpower to build that many schools in three years.
Nagy said the notification was not a warning, but simply information-sharing.
"There was never any concern on their part that the schools wouldn't open on time," Nagy said. The Catholic school district is getting a new elementary-junior high school in the Lewis Farms area with enough room for 750 students. Scheduled to open in September 2016, it's expected to take pressure off Sister Annata Brockman, St. Martha, St. Benedict and St. Justin schools, which are currently operating at between 109 per cent and 120 per cent of their official capacities.
"For us, we're just confident in what the government has told us," Nagy said.
Jane Sterling says Edmonton Public Schools feels the same way.
"There's still time," Sterling said, so until her district hears anything different, it will continue to plan for new schools to open in September 2016 in Heritage Valley, to take pressure off Johnny Bright school, and Terwillegar Heights, which will ease the crunch at Esther Starkman school. Both Johnny Bright and Esther Starkman schools opened in 2010 at full capacity with 1,050 students each. They grew so big, the school district moved out the Grade 8s and 9s in September to make room for younger students.
Henri Lemire, superintendent for the Greater North Central francophone School Board, also remains confident he will get a junior and senior high school in St. Albert with room for 400 students. Currently, 150 students go to class in a leased facility.
"Some things are always in the air when you're building anything," Lemire said. "I'm absolutely convinced it won't be delayed. Seriously. … (We are) not overly concerned because government has made such a commitment that they would deliver those schools on time. The glitch is not that the schools will be built, but how they will be built."
Lemire said the government may have to look at different funding models or divide the contract up so one company or contractor won't be responsible for building all 19 new provincial schools under a public-private partnership model. Lemire suggested one contract might work for the seven schools slated for the Edmonton area, including another in St. Albert, as well as ones in Leduc and Spruce Grove.
"Obviously they're going to look at the possibility of breaking up the bundle," Lemire said. "If you're building that many schools at the same time, it's tough to get that many men on that many jobs."

Bill Cosby is returning to NBC for a new family comedy, TVGuide.com has confirmed.
The network is developing a half-hour comedy featuring Cosby as the patriarch of a multi-generational family. According to Deadline, which first reported the news, Cosby is once again partnering with producer Tom Werner, who produced The Cosby Show.
Bill Cosby sits down with Jon and discusses his new comedy special "Far From Finished." watch
With her floppy hat and flapping gums, Jackie "Moms" Mabley is mostly remembered these days for her outrageous appearances on late-'60s and '70s-era variety and talk shows, as mainstream as Ed Sullivan and as of-the-moment as the Smothers Brothers, performing racy and politically barbed stand-up routines whose sting was couched in a dirty-old-lady's guise.
Among those influenced by Mabley was Whoopi Goldberg, who performed an homage to the comedian early in her own career. In the HBO documentary Whoopi Goldberg Presents Moms Mabley (Monday, 9/8c), the View personality directs and participates in this tribute to the pioneering comic's life and legacy, with TV clips and audio excerpts (enhanced with crude animation) from her many comedy albums, which hold up surprisingly well.read more
From their brownstone in Brooklyn , Cliff and Claire Huxtable watched over their family with style, wit and wisdom. They juggled their successful careers in medicine and law while raising five children who constantly test the limits. With humor and insight, which only comes with experience, the couple guides their children through the peaks and pitfalls of everyday life. Opting for reality-based humor instead of slapstick comedy, The Cosby Show provides a warm-hearted look at the complexity of human behavior.
The Meteor Man starring Robert Guillaume, Sinbad, Marla Gibbs, Luther Vandross, James Earl Jones, Robert Townsend

More Clips & Interviews
Hey, hey, hey--Bill Cosby's animated creations step off the screen and into modern-day live action to help a lonely high-school girl in this comedy. Kenan Thompson stars as the good-hearted big man who along with his cronies Mushmouth, Old Weird Harold, Rudy, Bill, Bucky and Dumb Donald step straight out of their TV show's North Philly set in the 1970s into the 2000s.
A generation grew up watching Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, the Saturday morning cartoon series that enjoyed one of the longest runs in cartoon history. Now, Bill Cosby's beloved characters make their way to movie theaters nationwide in an all-new, live-action motion picture. Fat Albert and friends are drawn through a TV into the real world where they get into fish-out-of-water trouble while simultaneously trying to solve the problems of two teenage girls. There is, of course, a ticking clock: if our heroes don't get back into their cartoon universe pretty soon they will turn to celluloid powder. Thanks to their initiative and a little help from the real life Bill Cosby, Fat Albert ("Hey, Hey, Hey") and his pals find a way.
On February 7, 2003, renowned artists across music genres and generations commandeered the stage at New York City's Radio City Music Hall to pay tribute to their common heritage and passion: the blues. Shared with thousands of fans in attendance, legendary performers from the roots of rock, jazz,and rap joined forces for a once-in-a-lifetime salute to the blues benefit concert whose proceeds went to musical education. Executive produced by Martin Scorcese, produced by Alex Gibney and directed by Antoine Fuqua, Lightning in a Bottle captures the night's magic and weaves a history of blues through the juxtaposition of performers, backstage interviews, rehearsals, and archival clips of some of the greatest names in American music, from blues royalty like Buddy Guy and B. B. King to their musical heirs ranging from John Fogerty and Bonnie Raitt to Mos Def and Indie.Arie.

Nostalgia is all the rage these days, so it comes as no surprise that Bill Cosby is hoping to return to prime time.
The comedian told Yahoo TV that he's re-teamed with one of The Cosby Show producers Tom Werner to develop a family comedy that "would [satisfy] the people who have come to me in public places and said, 'Can't you put something on that I can watch?'"
Carol Burnett was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, the country's top humor honor, over the weekend.
"This is very encouraging," Burnett said in her acceptance speech, The Associated Press reports.

With any luck, they'll soon get voted out, and I'll still have the Mark Twain prize."

Bill Cosby says he wanted The Cosby Show to represent a parenting philosophy that would "take the house back" from kids.
"I based the series on two important things: No. 1 ... I hated those series where the children were brighter than the parents, and those parents had to play dumb," Cosby recently told ABC News. "No. 2 was that I wanted to 'take the house back.'"

The West Chester Township Board of Trustees voted Tuesday night in favor of giving performance-based pay increases for its 67 non-contract employees. However, not every eligible employee is expected to get a raise.
The merit-based system was originally approved by the trustees in Feb. 2006 and only awards raises to employees, who are considered "top performers". Prior to 2006, the Township used the more traditional step-pay increase approach.
The two-percent merit pool, which was approved for this year, is to be shared among the Township workers with no one employee receiving more than a four-percent increase. The total pool is worth $80,055.
Since the merit-based system was initiated, the Township has approved it every year. Since the system into effect, the total pool has never been allocated. In 2012, with a two-percent merit pool, $63,133 of the $80,541 available amount was used.

Resonance neutron-capture cross sections of stable magnesium isotopes and their astrophysical implications |
For the TOF collaboration(s) |
(2012) |
We have measured the neutron capture cross sections of the stable magnesium isotopes 24,25,26Mg in the energy range of interest to the s process using the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN. Capture events from a natural metal sample and from samples enriched in 25Mg and 26Mg were recorded using the total energy method based on C62H6 detectors. Neutron resonance parameters were extracted by a simultaneous resonance shape analysis of the present capture data and existing transmission data on a natural isotopic sample. Maxwellian-averaged capture cross sections for the three isotopes were calculated up to thermal energies of 100 keV and their impact on s-process analyses was investigated. At 30 keV the new values of the stellar cross section for 24Mg, 25Mg, and 26Mg are 3.8±0.2 mb, 4.1±0.6 mb, and 0.14±0.01 mb, respectively. |

Out on a limb
T.J. Davenport pulls his way to the top of a 100-foot oak tree during a recreational tree climbing course at Camp Wyman in Eureka, Missouri, on June 8, 2013. (Huy Mach/St. Louis Post-Dispatch/MCT) |
Tree-climbing is emerging as a recreational sport, similar to rock climbing. St. Louis instructor Guy Mott says tree-climbing builds muscles and can lead to improved fitness and weight loss.
"If you engage in a tree climb, it is a full-body workout. It is much more interactive and therapeutic to be outside as opposed to a gym," said Mott. "It helps people to gain an appreciation for nature."
Because of the rope and harness system, participants need only basic physical ability, such as being able to easily climb a flight of stairs, he said.
Mott is a certified arborist who teaches a class in climbing that has been offered since last fall through St. Louis Community College.
Each class is three hours. Students get one hour of orientation during which they learn about trees, procedures to climb them and the gear that is required. With the help of a rope and a harness, participants spend the next two hours reaching great heights and accessing parts of the canopy typically unreachable.
Heather Allen, 34, is a St. Louis Community College staff member who took the course in April. "We learned about tree biology, how to tie various types of rope knots and, of course, how to maneuver through the tree branches," said Allen. "With the help of the harness, we were able to get really high up in the trees. It was amazing."
Climbing begins by carefully placing ropes over branches in tree crotches, providing strong anchor points. Each rope goes through a leather sleeve to protect the tree. Students then don a tree climber's saddle and helmet. Participants also have the option to wear gloves, which improves grip and guards against rope burns.
Mott has a lot of outdoor experience and a master's of education degree in adventure learning from Clemson University. Through his business, Adventure Tree, he has been teaching tree climbing and orchestrating ground-based outings for five years.
He organizes team-building activities for corporations, camps, schools and other groups.
Bill Henske, 42, is a teacher at Maplewood Richmond Heights School District whom Mott trained to work with his students.
Tree-climbing, he said, "acts as a powerful metaphor teaching students to conquer challenges and their fears."
Mott also provides training to entry-level arborists.
Mott started out as an electrical engineer but decided he wanted to direct his energy toward helping others directly.
By teaching tree-climbing and being an advocate for exploring the outdoors, Mott aspires to be a positive influence.
"My focus and mission is education and therapy," he said.
