Publisher's Description
The idea of bittersweet is changing the way I live, unraveling and re-weaving the way I understand life. Bittersweet is the idea that in all things there is both something broken and something beautiful, that there is a moment of lightness on even the darkest of nights, a shadow of hope in every heartbreak, and that rejoicing is no less rich even when it contains a splinter of sadness. Its the practice of believing that we really do need both the bitter and the sweet, and that a life of nothing but sweetness rots both your teeth and your soul. Bitter is what makes us strong, what forces us to push through, what helps us earn the lines on our faces and the calluses on our hands. Sweet is nice enough, but bittersweet is beautiful, nuanced, full of depth and complexity. Bittersweet is courageous, gutsy, audacious, earthy. "This is what Ive come to believe about change: its good, in the way that childbirth is good, and heartbreak is good, and failure is good. By that I mean that its incredibly painful, exponentially more so if you fight it, and also that it has the potential to open you up, to open life up, to deliver you right into the palm of Gods hand, which is where you wanted to be all long, except that you were too busy pushing and pulling your life into exactly what you thought it should be. Ive learned the hard way that change is one of Gods greatest gifts, and most useful tools. Change can push us, pull us, rebuke and remake us. It can show us who weve become, in the worst ways, and also in the best ways. Ive learned that its not something to run away from, as though we could, and that in many cases, change is a function of Gods graciousness, not lifes cruelty. Niequist, a keen observer of life with a lyrical voice, writes with the characteristic warmth and honesty of a dear friend: always engaging, sometimes challenging, but always with a kind heart. You will find Bittersweet savory reading, indeed. This is the work Im doing now, and the work I invite you into: when life is sweet, say thank you, and celebrate. And when life is bitter, say thank you, and grow.

Underwriter competition and gross spreads in the eurobond market
AbstractWe investigate the competitive landscape of underwriting services in the Eurobond market including the choice of underwriter and underwriter gross spread. We find a significant but declining association between the home market of the Eurobond's currency of denomination and that of the lead underwriter. These bonds underwritten by underwriters 'local' to the currency also carry significantly lower underwriter gross spreads vis-à-vis other Eurobonds. The amalgamation of the European currencies into the Euro resulted in a significant shift in the competitive landscape for underwriting services. We find a significant portion of market shares shifted from the 'local' European underwriters to non-'local' U.S. underwriters with the introduction of the Euro. Moreover, the volume of new issues rose and the gross underwriter spread declined significantly. Our empirical results suggest that Eurozone underwriters responded to the increased entry of U.S. and other Eurozone underwriter with aggressive discounting of the underwriter gross spread.

Enviro News - November 2009
Newcastle is Greenest City in Britain
Posted by Enviro News' Global Correspondent on 19/11/2009 - 15:50:00
A national environmental study of British cities has found that Newcastle upon Tyne in the North of England is the greenest city in Britain. Carried out by think tank organisation Forum for the Future, the study assessed 20 of Britain's largest cities in terms of their sustainability. Among the specific areas it looked into were:
- Urban air pollution levels
- Quality of life
- The amount of wildlife that lived in them
Ultimately, Newcastle was judged both the greenest and the most sustainable in Britain for 2009. Bristol – in the South West - came top in 2008 but was runner up this time around while the capital city, London, came in fifth place.
Greenest Cities in Britain
Here's the greenest cities in Britain in top-ten order:
- Newcastle
- Bristol
- Brighton and Hove
- Leicester
- London
- Leeds
- Edinburgh
- Nottingham
- Sheffield
- Cardiff
A linked issue that the study explored was how all 20 participating cities would be able to deal with the future impact of climate change.
Newcastle: Britain's Greenest City
"Cities with an industrial heritage face genuine challenges, but Newcastle's success shows that it is possible to overcome the legacy of the past and perform well on many measures of sustainability", Forum for the Future's chief executive, Peter Madden stated. In relation to Newcastle being found as Britain's greenest city, he added: "We hope it will inspire other cities to redouble their efforts."
"For the past five years, sustainability has been at the very heart of our agenda and we are delighted to have our progress acknowledged", Newcastle City Council representative Wendy Taylor commented. Among the £400,000 worth of environmental friendly strategies and technologies that have been integrated into just the council's own facilities are photovoltaic panels, which convert solar energy into electricity.
The 20th greenest British city was Hull, also in the North of England. Here – Forum for the Future said – evidence was found that the city was looking to embrace a more sustainable future.

Most experts and many in the bronco nation are convinced that Eric Decker has played his last game as a Bronco. Looking at the free agent market and our salary cap issues, they are probably correct. However, the recent news that Riley Cooper, Jeremy Maclin and Dennis Pitta all resigned with their teams begs the question: What is Eric Decker worth?
1. Riley Cooper and Eric Decker both made 490,000 dollars last year. Cooper had a career year with 47 catches for 835 yards with 8 Touchdowns. He averaged over 17 yards a catch which was outstanding. He just resigned in Philly for 5 years and 25 million dollars. In Coopers career he has 93 catches for 1,514 yards and 13 Touchdowns.
2. Eric Decker had 87 catches for 1,288 yards and 11 Touchdowns last season.He averaged 14.8 yards per catch. For his career he has 222 catches for 3,070 yards and 33 touchdowns. His receptions have led to 148 first downs. He had 7 drops last season. Demariyous Thomas had 8 drops and Welker had 10.
3. Jeremy Maclin resigned with Philly after missing the 2013 season for 3.5 million guaranteed with incentives that could take him to 6 million. He signed a one year contract. For his career Maclin has 258 catches for 3,453 yards with 26 touchdowns. He averages 13.4 yards per catch. His receptions have led to 158 first downs.
4. Dennis PItta resigned for 5 years with the Ravens for an average of 6 to 7 million per season. In his career Pitta has caught 122 passes for 1,244 yards and 11 touchdowns. His receptions have led to 68 first downs.
So again, with these numbers what is Decker worth?
1. Cooper had a good season, recovered from his racial slur event and was a dangerous receiver. But he is clearly a number 3 receiver when Maclin returns. Seems clear that Philly dramatically overpaid here.
2. Maclin is considered to be a "playmaker" and his stats show that. But he is coming off an serious injury and I think Philly did well to get him at 3.5 million with a max of 6 million. Its a win for the team and the player.
3. The Ravens and their 20 million dollar man Flaco missed Dennis Pitta greatly, but when you look at his production it seems they also overpaid by a wide margin.
4. Which Brings us to Decker: some "experts' believe that Decker's numbers are inflated by PFM, which only time will tell. If Decker goes to another team and produces similar numbers, then the mystery will be solved. If goes the Mike Wallace route then the experts will be proven right. Seems clear though that our 4 headed monster that just broke all the NFL records was able to do so because outside of Seattle no one could cover all 4 of them. Removing Decker and replacing him with Caldwell or a rookie will be an interesting experiment.
I would put Decker above Cooper, PItta, and Maclin. If Maclin stays healthy I think he and Decker are of similar value. Decker made 490,000 last year. I think his minimum value is 6 million a season. Boldin in SF got that and Decker put up better numbers and is younger, faster, and stronger. The franchise tag on receiver is 12 million and few if any receivers are worth that. I could easily see Decker getting 8 to 9 million per season somewhere else.
For the Decker critics that think he wont produce for another team. Picture Decker on the Colts with Andrew Luck and TY Hilton and Reggie Wayne. Picture...God Forbid Decker on the Patriots with Gronkowski, Brady and Edleman. If Decker goes to a good team he will put up similar numbers. He has size, good speed and a record of production.

Finally confirming months of rumours, online retail giant Amazon has revealed the Fire Phone, its own entry into the ultra competitive smartphone space, with a few unique strengths.
The Fire Phone packs mid-range performance specs, with a 720p 4.7" display, 2GB of RAM and a Qualcomm/Adrendo 330 processor and graphics combo, but its biggest hook is a 3D display technique that uses a combination of four-camera head-tracking and tilt-detection to allow users to see and navigate around in a new way in the phone's interface.
Tech blog The Verge describes some impressions from Amazon founder Jeff Bezo's presentation, where the device was revealed earlier today:
Bezos showed how things change in Maps, looking for a restaurant and at the Empire State Building and changing the view every time he tilted his phone. It's also part of the navigation of the device — a tilt of the phone opens up a navigation drawer, or scrolls through options. It gives good demo, but we'll have to see how it works in practice.As with Amazon's Kindle Fire range, and the Fire TV, the Fire phone is running Amazon's own custom Android fork as its OS, with heavy tie-ins to the company's online retail, and media services.
Another feature being heavily touted by Amazon is its "firefly technology" that allows users to "quickly identify", using the device's camera and microphone, things like movies and tv shows, songs, and, printed email and web addresses, as well as over 70 million retail products from their QR and bar codes.
The 3D navigation tech presents some unique opportunities for game developer creativity, with a game called Lili described as allowing players to tilt their head to look around objects and obstacles in the game world in real time.
Move your head to look around a world or control a character's movement in popular games like Lili and Snow Spin. Use the peek feature to see more of the battlefield in Saber's Edge. Plus, look for exclusive new titles from Amazon Game Studios later this summer.Like Amazon's announcements for its Kindle tablet products, there's been no mention of an Australian launch, and it's currently exclusive to AT&T's mobile network, presumably carrier-locking all devices due to launch on July 25th in North America (on a 2 year contract at US$199 for 32GB storage or $299 for 64GB).
CNET's recording of the section of the presentation demoing the 3D display with various applications, including games is embedded below. Head over to Amazon.com for the full product overview.

Like fancy suits, sofa sets are sewn from the same cut of fabric. These matching sets provide a well-rounded look in living rooms, but near misses tend to clash due to their small differences. At 20 show rooms throughout the western US, Mor Furniture for Less arranges complete-room sets so customers can envision the collections in their own homes. Furniture for living rooms, dining rooms, and children's rooms can be found in each store along with individual lamps, tables, and entertainment centers. The stores also carry complete sets of beds, dressers, and nightstands so that homeowners don't receive criticism from design bloggers in their dreams.
Stone Creek Furniture
Combining the ancient art of carpentry with efficient contemporary tools and designs, Stone Creek Furniture's skilled craftspeople construct custom-designed cabinetry, home furnishings, and office equipment out of sturdy, top-quality hardwoods. Regal beds, towering entertainment centers, and armoires swathed in more than 25 finish colors command attention at display stations scattered throughout four showrooms.
The knowledgeable woodsmiths can also tailor custom creations according to clients' specific tastes, adorning hutches with moldings and hammering out personalized dressers to fit specific wall dimensions or cardigans made out of plate mail. Chic built-in embellishments revivify rooms with styles ranging from contemporary to classic, and full-scale kitchen and bathroom remodeling can transform staid spaces into fresh, functional workspaces.
Bead Bar's bead baristas guide jewelry crafters with a wealth of bauble knowledge, provisioning projects from the amply stocked store. Students can bring their own spirited refreshments to make sessions merrier, journeying past bead-bedazzled walls and cascades of clasps to reach the workshop, where they'll discover the basics of jewelry creation during basic stringing and crimping classes (click here to view the schedule). After pupils choose one of five bracelet kits—which include a clasp, four fire-ball beads, finishing beads, wire, wire guards, and a strand of firepolish beads—instructors model foundational stringing techniques and imbue new crafters with a sense of symmetry and color combinations. Bracelet makers learn how to highlight feature beads and artfully select accent beads, then take an oath to use filler beads only for fighting crimes of bare-wristedness. To bring closure to both classes and adornments, the staff imparts advice on selecting clasps to make sure bracelets can't leave wrists or ankles without asking permission first.
Each of Designer Art Direct's framers has at least 20 years of experience working with everything from Picassos to family portraits. The staff enhance their skills with thousands of frames and mats from heavyweight manufacturers such as Larson-Juhl. The seasoned framers won't balk at most two- and even three-dimensional subjects, and are happy to frame up valuables including sports memorabilia, photographs, and topographical Rubik's cube cheat sheets. The staff works with clients to make sure each piece of artwork finds a new frame home that meets its artistic and preservational needs. Customers can add extra security to valuable pieces by choosing conservation glass and museum mountings, or transform prints into original-looking art by asking for an acrylic texturing process that the staffers do by hand. Since all framing services are performed onsite, customers can expect a turnaround of a few days or opt for same-day service for an extra fee.

"Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" ft. Dr. Dre
When 2 Chainz said that him and 'Ye were
like Snoop and Dre on "Birthday Song," it's songs like "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" that exemplify the analogy. The chemistry that the two exuded in the early '90s wasn't just a great moment for hip hop — it was the start of a movement in hip hop. After pioneering gangster rap with NWA, Dr. Dre continued to push the culture with the release of The Chronic and helped usher in the G-funk era of West Coast rap.

text: To determine how many flags you need for your pool, determine the width of your pool in inches and divide by 13. This should be your number of flags. For example, a 54 foot wide pool is 648 inches. Divide by 13 to get 49.84.... You may round down to 48, 49 or up to 50 flags. You may also select fewer flags as ideally you should have just enough flags to be seen.
