On Dec. 23, 1960, I was at home watching a Christmas show. I was 9 years old. All of a sudden, I felt very warm. When I turned around I discovered my pants were on fire. I screamed; my older brother, who was 13, put the flames out with a pillow and my younger brother, who was 3, ran to tell my mother. It turned out to be several months of salve and wrapping but my dad did a wonderful job. It is still memorable because at that time I had three brothers. Four days later, on Dec. 27, 1960, my only sister was born.
Every Christmas the siblings would buy gifts for each other, small things that we could afford. We would attempt to disguise the items. Things like record albums were obvious unless you put them in a box to confuse the receiver.
The Christmas of 1964 has always been memorable. Before the school holiday even began, my older brother complained that his slippers were missing. He couldn't find them anywhere. My Barbie doll also went missing. It seems like my dad's pocket knife disappeared and a book belonging to one of my younger brothers was also gone. The ranting and complaining never really stopped.
On Christmas morning, my sister, who was just about 4 years old, came downstairs with presents for all of the siblings. She had wrapped up the slippers, the Barbie doll, the knife and the book, as well as some other items, and presented us all with our "presents." She wanted to participate in the "gift giving" as well. To this day, we still laugh about how much fun that was.

Local businesses were also hit hard by today's weather, and thousands of power outages were reported throughout the area. But the university area of town seemed to be hit hardest.
Usually bustling with students and visitors, one person described the university area as a 'war zone.'
"There was a lot of flooding especially by the train tressle on 14th. There was about four feet of water at one point and a van tried to go through and the water was over it's headlights. It barely made it," said O'Neils employee Matt Kirkland.
"The rain was going completely sideways. The street was a river. There were newspaper machines and garbage cans floating down the street," said Tony Lechmanski of the Corner Market.
The streets are still littered with leaves and branches and pieces of the restaurants.
"All of the sudden there was this huge whitewash outside the windows and you couldn't see anything. Our tables and chairs actually flew about seven or eight doors down," said Ashley Mauter, manager at O'Neils.
But now things are quiet--almost too quiet for a college campus, even during the summer because businesses have shut their doors.
"I can't ring anything up, so I'm just sitting around, staring at the clock that doesn't work," said Lechmanski.
Baja Bean and Little John's were the last close--even serving some customers in the dark.
"I actually expected Little John's to be open--I mean they're always open," said UVa 4th year Mansij Hans.
Parts of the university have power--but the surrounding residents and businesses are still waiting.
Officials say they hope to have power up and running by Wednesday in the University area.

Maldoror Lyrics
Maldoror was formed from a mixture of boredom, circumstance
and destiny. Mike Patton explains: "While in the middle of
a particularly 'plush' Faith No More tour of Australia with
a few days off on my own hands, I decided to do some improv
shows to get my blood boiling. Merzbow records were boiling
in my blood at the time, so I decided to call Masami Akita,
the undisputed king of Japanese "noise" music. I'm glad I
did. The shows we did together while in Australia and Japan
were amazing and inspired me to finance a small recording

Universities in ParisInstitut Catholique de ParisThe Institut Catholique de Paris, or the "Catho", founded in 1875, is located in the heart of Paris. With only 6,000 students in attendance, students are enrolled in smaller classes, enabling better ratio of student to teacher interaction. While the Catho is a historically catholic university, its curriculum, campus life, and student activities are secular in nature. The student body is comprised of people from all religious backgrounds and diversity is embraced. The language division, or the Institut de Langue et de Cultures Françaises (ILCF), founded in 1948, is the primary place of study for international students. Every year the department welcomes over 2,000 students from around the world. The ILCF has upwards of 45 professors specialized in teaching French as a foreign language and qualified to prepare each student for certification at every level. In addition, other departments at the university have opened their doors to international students, allowing a challenging curriculum in a multitude of subjects and the opportunity to study with local French students. The challenges and variety offered by the Institut Catholique de Paris makes for an ideal setting for study abroad students. *Courses offered during the Arts & French Language programs are taught by local, visiting and US faculty. Courses in all other programs are taught by host university faculty. Our programs at the Institut Catholique de ParisThe American Business School ParisThis Program offers a wide variety of business, management, and humanities courses taught in English in an international setting at the American Business School in Paris. In addition to these courses, students are encouraged to enroll in French language courses and/or humanities courses that include excursions throughout Paris. Students take classes with French and other international students from 80 different countries from around the globe. The American Business School prepares students for a wide range of possibilities and professions in the business world. Courses are taught by a team of international professors and lecturers who tailor-make coursework based on their own unique backgrounds and career experiences. Students will learn how to work in multi-cultural settings, gain practice in international case studies, and prepare for a successful international career. The American Business School Paris is located in the 10th arrondissement, near the Canal St. Martin. The university has a second campus in the Paris suburb of Eaubonne, where sports activities and several classes are held. While, most universities will accept the official transcript issued by the American Business School Paris (ABSP) for coursework taken abroad, some universities or institutions do require a U. S. transcript in order to transfer credit. ISA has partnered with California Lutheran University to serve as the School of Record for those students requiring a U.S. transcript for the ABSP programs. If you have confirmed with your home university that you will require a U.S. transcript, or are interested in learning about this option, please contact your Program Manager or Site Specialist as soon as possible. Our programs at the The American Business School ParisCustom Programs in ParisAcademics vary by program and may be comprised of one or more of the following:
The Sorbonne - Cours de Civilisation Française de la SorbonneFounded in the 13th century, the world-renowned Sorbonne opened its doors to international students in 1917. Headquartered in a newly renovated building in the Montparnasse neighborhood, the CCFS offers French language and phonetics alongside elective courses in culture, civilization, and other subjects to international students. Alongside other international students, ISA participants at the Sorbonne will gain the knowledge and tools to express themselves in the language and culture of France. Students focus on French language and phonetics while taking civilization electives in the areas of literature, history, art, geography, economics, sociology, philosophy and politics. The high academic standards of the Sorbonne and its special area in teaching French to foreigners makes this an ideal setting for study abroad students.

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Light Pollution
Every astronomer knows the artificial skyglow that hangs over populated areas, washing out almost everyone's view of the universe to a greater or lesser degree. In the last two generations, light pollution has spread from a problem in cities to a major astronomical disruption almost everywhere.
But some aspects of light pollution are not widely appreciated by amateur astronomers. Knowledge is power; here are facts that may help you avoid some of the problem and combat the rest more effectively.
Glare versus skyglow. The most annoying and destructive problem is light that beams directly into your eye from a bright bulb. This is called glare; it comes from fixtures that are poorly designed or improperly aimed, in other words most of those currently in use. When glare crosses property lines and creates a nuisance, it's called "light trespass." Glare is often the easiest problem to avoid — by setting up your telescope in a shadowy corner, erecting a tarpaulin to shade the telescope, or negotiating with your neighbors or local government to have the offending light turned off or replaced with a modern one of better design.
Skyglow is what the term "light pollution" properly denotes. One way to measure it is to compare it to the night sky's natural background light. The sky does have a certain minimum surface brightness even in the most pristine, unspoiled environment. This natural skyglow has four sources: faint airglow in the upper atmosphere (a permanent, low-grade aurora), sunlight reflected off interplanetary dust (zodiacal light), starlight scattered in the atmosphere, and background light from faint, unresolved stars and galaxies. Airglow peaks around the maximum of the 11-year sunspot cycle; the other sources vary with the hour of night and the seasons. But their combined average is well known.
A typical suburban sky today is about 5 to 10 times brighter at the zenith than the natural sky. In city centers the zenith may be 25 or 50 times brighter than the natural background.

Do you ever get the feeling you are the only one on here anymore?
No Way!!! Sometimes I see Anne and Janna posting mileage. So they have to be visiting. Plus, I don't think that Jacob is ever very far way.
I check occasionally! Of course I don't have much to contribute, so that's probably most of the problem. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in track this season though!
I still check back here, although I can't say that I have much to post these days... One of these days I'll get back into it though!

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
For pairing with Bordeaux, look for the more refined and simply prepared cuts such as loin chops, rib chops and a rack of lamb. These classic dishes can be a divine pairing with Bordeaux. More aromatic, rustic and spicy preparations of lamb often call for a wine with a bit more of a chewy, rustic and herbal character.
When ready, this wine shows enormous complexity and concentration and belongs to the most sought-after Pomerols. It can easily be kept 25 years or more in great vintages.
"This sports a dark, chewy side for now, with overt charcoal and roasted apple wood notes, along with plenty of smoldering tobacco flavors. The core is still a bit chunky as well, with roasted fig, blackberry paste and steeped black currant fruit. But the underlying structure is refined, despite its density, and the finish is very long and purely rendered. Best from 2018 through 2035." 98 Points Wine Spectator
"An absolutely prodigious wine, the dense purple 2009 Trotanoy exudes extraordinary notes of minerals, forest floor, sweet black currants and black cherry jam along with floral notes and graphite. Very full-bodied, with silky tannins, fabulous opulence and palate presence, this terrific wine should be at its best in 7-10 years and last for 20 or more. Think of it as a more concentrated, "bigger" version of the extraordinary 1998.Rating: 98+" 98 Points The Wine Advocate
"Full, deep red-ruby. Sexy aromas of ripe strawberry, chocolate-covered raspberry, mocha and smoke are nicely lifted by a whiff of pure violet. Captivating and exotic Pomerol, with lush flavors of superripe raspberry, roasted meat and musky coffee. In spite of its juicy sweetness, this is rather backward today, with substantial brooding tannins calling for years of patience. Unbelievably seamless and powerful, this enchanting wine's finish goes on for minutes. A monumental Trotanoy that has the perfume of a grand cru Burgundy. Barrel Sample: 95-98 Points " 98 Points International Wine Cellar
"Beneath the surface tannins is great Merlot fruit, very ripe and full-bodied, a powerhouse of flavors. The depth and complexity of the wine is all there, along with a dark core of dryness. A wine for long-term aging.Cellar Selection" 97 Points Wine Enthusiast
"A deep nose of blueberries, with chocolate mousse that turns to licorice and hints of rose petal. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins that fill your mouth. But they are always soft and caressing. They last for minutes. I love the texture to this wine; it is like plush velvet. Best in 2018, but so inviting now. " 97 Points James Suckling
This famous growth, whose soil was too hard to work and thus called trop anoi (too annoying) in medieval French, is located on one of the most beautiful parts of the plateau of Pomerol and was purchased in 1953 by Ets. Jean-Pierre MOUEIX. The fascinating soil diversity - half gravel mixed with clay and half deep black clay - with the presence of machefer or iron pan in the subsoil...Read More About Chateau Trotanoy
POH-mehr-all Small and Seductive It's a tiny region, and it has no classification system. But the wines produced from Pomerol can be sensuous and life-changing. Here lies Chateau Petrus, one of the most expensive and sought-after wines of the world - many vintages commanding prices higher than the first-growth chateaux of the Medoc. The area is all vines, with no real town...Read More About Pomerol
Bordeaux Blends The Fab Five With so much history under its belt, it's no wonder that Bordeaux has figured out the recipe to produce amazing wines. Centuries of making (and drinking) wine led to the blend that has become synonomous with Bordeaux.

A dozen Colorado athletes who competed in the London 2012 Olympic Games will be honored as Broncos Country Heroes during the first quarter of Denver's season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Sports Authority Field at Mile High on Sunday (6:30 p.m. MDT kickoff).
As part of the celebration, Centennial resident and Regis Jesuit High School student Missy Franklin will serve as an honorary captain and accompany the rest of the Broncos' captains to midfield for the pregame coin toss. Franklin captured four gold medals and one bronze in her Olympic swimming debut last month.
Franklin, who visited a Broncos practice at Dove Valley earlier this year, earned gold medals in the 100m backstroke, 200m backstroke, 4×200m freestyle and 4×100m medley — in addition to a bronze in the 4×100m freestyle.
Other 2012 Olympic medalists include Taylor Ritzel (gold, rowing), granddaughter of former Broncos Head Coach Red Miller; Clarissa Chun (bronze, wrestling); and Janay DeLoach (bronze, long jump).
Below is a look at the 12 Colorado Olympians who will be honored by the Broncos on Sunday:

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Jun 27, 2007
In the first six months of 2007, the Iraq war has captivated the public's interest and eclipsed most of the year's other major news stories, including the 2008 presidential election, two major Washington political scandals, and news from other international trouble spots. Iraq has been the most closely followed news story in 18 of the 22 weeks that Pew has been tracking public attentiveness to the news.
The only stories this year that have drawn greater public interest than the war were the Virginia Tech shootings in April and rising gas prices at the end of May. In addition, the release in early April of 15 British sailors and marines who were held captive by the Iranian government drew slightly more interest than the war to become that week's most closely followed news story.

Continued illiquidity and a shift in the price of underlying assets in the secondary hedge fund market have caused fluctuating trading levels in the last few months, according to Hedgebay.

The average discount to NAV on transactions completed in Q3 has climbed steadily from around 70% in July to 85% in September. Despite this, previous pricing levels – notably June's...

Keywords: Tags copper scrap, brass scrap, Comex, radiators, Nathan Laliberte
NEW YORK Brass scrap prices have moved up as higher export tags are forcing domestic consumers to pay more to secure material, while prices for copper scrap remained unchanged.
Radiators strengthened by 1 cent to a range of $2.27 to $2.30 per pound Jan. 30, up from the Jan. 23 range of $2.26 to $2.29.
"The export market for radiators is really good right now, especially to China," noted one seller of brass scrap. "Supply is low and demand seems relatively high."
"There seems to be a real pickup in overseas activity," a second seller said. "Chinese consumers have entered the market in full force."
Yellow brass solids rose by 3 cents to a range of $2.17 to $2.20 per pound, up from $2.15 to $2.17 previously.
Red brass solids increased to $2.68 to $2.70 per pound from $2.68 to $2.68 previously, while borings and turnings moved up to $2.65 to $2.67 per pound from $2.63 to $2.66 on Jan. 23.
The rise in copper prices on Comexs most actively traded contract to above $3.70 again this week is having little effect on the copper scrap market, a source told AMM.
"We have been pretty busy this week, but prices have remained relatively flat," one copper scrap seller said. "Even when Comex dropped off slightly, there seemed to be a lot of support. If Comex continues to rise, prices for scrap will definitely start to inch up."

The decline in scrap the last two months is putting pressure on domestic mills for price relief on rebar. The mills have not yet caved to the pressure.

Difference between LEFT and RIGHT OUTER Joins in SQL - MySQL Join example
2 comments :
- Virat said...
Joins adds lot of complexity in query, I prefer to use subquery instead of Join, they seems to me more natural.

I was asked this question in one of my inteviews 5-6yrs back and i have still not able to find the answer, maybe you can answer it hopefully..w.r.t above classic example.
Q. If we perform left outer join on employee and department it will return all records from left table and only matching from right. similarly, right outer join will return all the records from department and only matching from employee table. NOW... what if we swap the tables in left outer join. i.e if we perform left outer join of department and employee which will return same records as output as right outer join. THEN THE QUESTION IS WHY DO WE HAVE RIGHT OUTER JOIN IN SQL??? - June 2, 2013 at 12:56 PM

Gregory's paintings, icons of the American landscape, radiate a contemporary old master look. His images of barns, silos, and prairie farms have become a signature subject for the artist. The title of this exhibition Five Hundred Miles refers to the road trips the artist takes to gather his images of the Midwest and West, and also honors the famous folk song by the same name. These paintings are visual composites of these trips, re-imagined and re-constructed in the studio. Gregory strikes a balance between beauty, hope and despair; and the loneliness of the Western landscape. As Gregory explains, "My paintings are collages made up of personal observation and experience, art history and interests that extend beyond the formal language of painting. While I love paint, the act of painting is subservient to the picture which stands for the idea."
Michael Gregory was born in Los Angeles in 1955. He received his BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1980, and currently lives and works in the Bay Area. In 2011, The Fort Collins Museum of Art in Colorado organized an exhibition of Gregory's work entitled Western Construct, which traveled to the Butler Institute of American Art and the Arvada Center of Arts and Humanities. Gregory's work is included in many private and public collections including the Delaware Art Museum, the Denver Art Museum, Microsoft Corporation, General Mills Corporation, Bank of America, and the San Jose Museum of Art. The artist's work has been shown at museums across the country including: The Arkansas Art Center, Little Rock; The Boulder Center for the Visual Arts, Colorado; The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, California; the Hunter Museum of Art, Chattanooga, Tennessee and The Butler Institute of American Art, Youngstown, Ohio.

Along with
Jeunne fille à la cruche
, Bernard's
Femme à l'enfant
is one of his most famous sculptures. Conceived at the height of his career in 1914, its simple and monumental grace shows how the artist had succeeded in breaking away from the realistic style of his contemporaries and from the influence of Auguste Rodin, which is so often seen in his dramatic themes and figures' poses.
An independent figure, Bernard had only occasional contact with Rodin and differed from him greatly in his method of modelling directly in plaster rather than clay. The standard process used by sculptors at the time involved making a model in clay, then a mould in plaster, before using this plaster model to carve the final work by
. This system was used on large scale in Rodin's studio, but it necessarily distanced the artist from the actual stone or marble. Bernard omitted this first clay stage for his bronze works, modelling in plaster instead. This had the disadvantage of drying quickly but it could be polished and carved like stone, allowing him to create smoother, more stylised forms. For his stone or marble pieces, Bernard would carve directly, missing out the preliminary stages altogether. Known as
taille direct
, this method reminds us of Bernard's family background in stone hewing.
Femme à l'enfant
presents the classic motif of mother and child in a gentle dance of perfect harmony. The mother's arms appear elongated in a Mannerist style and her feet are delicately pointed. The child lifts his opposite foot in an enthusiastic parody of his mother, while she gently clasps his hands. Both figures lean slightly backwards to balance the composition and their features and details are pared down to simple, graceful forms:
'I would like to move more and more towards an art which would be the most intense expression of Beauty in its most characteristic lines; in sculpture you must make abstraction out of detail, not that you must be unaware of it, but have sufficiently experienced it to subjugate it to lines which are absolutely dominant, as a symphony which is the sum of the parts expressing the whole range of sensibilities.' (The artist quoted in
Two Sculptors - Auguste Rodin and Joseph Bernard
, exh. cat, Bruton Gallery, Somerset, 1991, p.65).
The original full-size plaster for
Femme à l'enfant
formed the centrepiece of the 1914 exhibition of Bernard's works at Galerie Manzi-Joyant. The state commissioned a bronze cast of the work in 1925, which was displayed along the façade of the Musée de Luxembourg and is now exhibited at the Musée d'Orsay. This posthumous bronze was cast by the Coubertin foundry.

Like Burma, the military control Thailand. They are inside legal and illegal businesses, politics, atrocities against the citizens and above the law.
The Privy Council and the royal family are implicated and serve as cover for the greed and power exercised by the elites.
Thaksin tried to bring the military and elites under control of his elected governments and was rewarded with assassination attempts, demonstrations by royalist paid and provisioned mobs and then the coup in 2006.
The military, the royals and their puppet government are desperately repressing, killing, gaoling, torturing and terrorising the redshirt pro-democratic elections movement to maintain their wealthy comfortable and corrupt lifestyle.
Corruption in politics, business and the military, military repression and mercenaries, vigilantes and censorship of all media and the Internet are current.
The redshirts are waiting and still want elections to shame the elites into terminating their authoritarian rule.

What prevents business from operating with a private intermediary exchange? The dollar is quickly losing it's importance, there's a real possibility for private companies to sell goods and pay their workers with perhaps a digital currency. This currency is ideally backed by hard assets, maybe even the company itself. The benefit is that it's not taxable or subject to inflation. I believe this was the concept behind company stores.
Of course, it's value requires a wide range of companies using it so that it can be the sole currency. If it's possible to buy all the necessities of life, it would motivate more people to abandon the U.S. dollar, thus strengthening the appeal for individuals and companies to adopt it even more-so.
Now is an opportune time for underground economies to flourish and compete with the government. All that's necessary is an intermediary company to initiate and facilitate exchange. Perhaps it can funded by the companies that buy into it.
This would eventually undo the relevancy of central governments. Thoughts?
Kyle:I believe this was the concept behind company stores.
Not according to the movies. it was to squeeze out more money from the workers
Kyle:The benefit is that it's not taxable or subject to inflation
it might be taxable.
they might confiscate it too, like they took the liberty dollars
My humble blog
It's easy to refute an argument if you first misrepresent it. William Keizer
It would be very easy for a developed state like the US to tract down extensive black market operations. Whenever the black market is left to itself this is only done to keep afloat a moribund economy. In the case of "illegal" currency, a commodity would be far too easy to track and without banks all but the smallest transaction would be impossible.
There is also the risk of losing everything (the currency loosing all of its values) after being sacked and 'demonetized' by the government. All and all, not a very rosy picture for business. It would be far easier to just deal in foreign currency accounts, but that opportunity is open only to a few big corporations (there is a reason that the Swiss Franc is still partially linked to gold).
All we really need to completely circumvent the state and it's taxes, wars and inequality is a technological solution for reliably wiring money that the state can't control. Trade with zero taxes is so efficient that people have a strong incentive to use a free currency, if it could be made reliable and trustworthy. A quarter of the Californian economy is already underground. That's mostly private transactions with cash, but if there was some way to implement a reliable digital currency, maybe on smart-phones, it could take off and completely replace monopoly money. Initiatives like WikiLeaks have shown that the state can't control everything that happens on computers. So hopefully it can not control the emergence of a free digital currency. It would essentially be like PayPal, the challenge is that it has to reliable enough for people trust in using it.
the challenge is that it has to reliable enough for people trust in using it.
What's wrong with BitCoin?
Andris Birkmanis:What's wrong with BitCoin?
I don't know. It doesn't seem big enough. What's the point of working to earn a currency that nobody accepts? These currencies have to reach a critical mass to work and they never overcome that hurdle.
Now that I think about it, to break state control over money we don't need a new currency, but a way to secretly wire the old currency in which people trust. The state can inflate that, but the main problem is that there's a tax on every transaction. Once it becomes normal to wire money underground, new currencies will emerge. Alternative currencies like BitCoin and Liberty Dollars are handicapping themselves by trying to implement underground money and a new currency at once, which is just too unsafe and unreliable for people to accept. So it never takes off, it never becomes a generally accepted method of payment, and it's not worth having a currency that you can't buy anything for.
Alternative currencies like BitCoin and Liberty Dollars are handicapping themselves by trying to implement underground money and a new currency at once, which is just too unsafe and unreliable for people to accept.
You may be right in this respect.
However, I do not see how to wire fiat currency (or any commodity, for that matter) in the fully decentralized, peer-to-peer way BitCoins provides for its purely digital (meaning unbacked) money. I remember Clayton expressing pretty strong opinion against BitCoin, though I do not remember the gist of his arguments (was it exactly the fact that it is unbacked?).
I wonder why businesses don't already use some cryptocurrency for transactions with other businesses, for example to buy raw materials.
What would be the benefit for the spot transactions? I think the main benefit of not using fiat currecies would be in long-term contracts - but then how do you enforce them in court?
I guess the best places to look for existing use of cryptocurrency should be some industries/communities with a tight closed loop - by that I mean that a lot of value flows between a few actors in a circle - then they do not have to convince the entire economy to use. An extreme example would be closed communities similar to the Amish, but the same applies to zaibatsu/keiretsu etc. Basically, any command economy has some kind of cryptocurrency embedded into it, but that is probably not what you meant.
Disagree....Bitcoin is not handicapping itself. Yes, bitcoin operates in a fully decentralized peer-to-peer manner. The historical confirmation against the block chain prevents double spending in the bitcoin system. A system such as Digicash or its variant, eCache, will utilize a centralized mint to validate and reissue digital tokens in order to prevent double spending. The implementation to prevent double spending is the key trade-off in electronic cash systems, because it is far easier to prevent double spending within a centralized model than a decentralized model due to the fact that historical transactions have to be confirmed and somewhat retained in a distributed decentralized model. Simply a matter of cryptography.
What is important to Austrians and others requiring a friction-less value exchange paradigm that has the potential to facilitate tax-free transactions in a parallel economy is that any cryptocurrency that evolves will, by default, have features similar to bitcoin. Cryptographically speaking, you either validate against the block chain to remain decentralized or you move to a centralized model. Needless to say, a centralized model will not prevail and one only needs to look at the tragic history of e-gold to understand why.
There already are a number of local currencies popping up -- like BerkShares in MA. In that case, the currency is backed by dollars, they can be backed by anything.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_currency
Such currencies don't legally allow you sidestep taxes, though. The transactions might be transformed into a form of barter, but that's still a taxable event (see Form 1099-B). If you're talking about facilitating an underground economy, that's already happening with traditional cash.
I also don't see how a private intermediary exchange would prevent inflation. As long as more of the medium of exchange can be created, inflation would still exist. You really need a rare, not-creatable-on-demand material to prevent that -- like gold.
My first thought was that minimum wage laws would make paying employees in this currency complicated. Another thought was that this currency might be considered a financial instrument and subject to capital gains laws.

About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about ClassicFlame 33-Inch SpectraFire Electric Fireplace Insert - 33EF023GRA:
Arrived very fast. We plan to build out a stone facade for this, but for now it's sitting in the family room under the bar. Provides decent supplemental heat, and we love the look of the flames.
Great sub for gas

About Me Budget Shopper
This is my 2nd fireplace purchased. Bought one for my home , liked it so much I bought another for my lake home. Great sub heat source to take chill off.
Second time around
By Jack
from Sanibel Island, Florida
This is the second fireplace we purchased in 4 years. The first worked perfectly and, so, we purchased a second one after movingf to a new home. The only downside was that the first one was a model that had doors but since has been discontinued. The doors gave a more realistic look.

By Kevin Foley

we just installed the unit and we love it. Replaced my gas logs fireplace with it and we can use it all year long. The flames look so real and with the various heat setting really warms a room, fan can be heard when TV off but that's ok.

Warm and relaxing
By joycecowi
from Russells Point OHio
We were able to setup the unit in a matter of minutes. We had an electric fireplace before thathad broken. It was heavy and hard to dispose of.Our new fireplace was much lighter and easy to install in the mantle we already had. Just tookit out of the box, set it in the opening, pluggedit in and turned it on. Pleasant to look at andheats up the family room.
Nice Product -- A bit noisy
By LHH
from Alexandria, Virginia
Very easy to install -- replaced a gas fireplace with this unit. More cost effective and more attractive. The heater is a bit noisier than I expected but does warm the den as advertised. We like the unit and would purchase it again.
Room Glaie
By Pepper
from Thomson, Ga
We bought to give our den a worm fealing. This unit is very easy to set up. The only negitive is the room reflection showes up on the glass like a miror. Don't know why they do not use non glair glass?
