Reverse-design Pilot fountain pen prevents ink from leaking

Push-top mechanism to retract — revolutionary for a fountain pen

Namiki Pilot Poem
What better way to pay homage to my years long love of this fine Japanese pen than with Haiku, the quintessential Japanese poetic form? I've included two below: Namiki Love Poem Love my Namiki Clicks in and out so simply Writes smooth like fountain. Poet's Joy Namiki Pilot: gold nib advances with soft click thoughts flow like river.

Namiki, the Vanishing Poem
I could not recommend to a friend that which makes me Unique. I watched Namiki in the catalog every single week. I thought how different. How divine. I will not have to say Anything about myself, as I click away And see the double takes it gets Fascination with a grin For nothing is as unique as the Namiki Vanishing Fountain Pen! And when I wrote with this distinctive pen at the library I found my new boyfriend because he had one too! How truly rare indeed. I carry my Namiki every day and look for some excuse To write something; simply anything, for it to be in use I take it out, admire it. I even boast at times For nothing makes me happier than to be recognized For the exceptional taste I have in pens and to be one of the few, Who carry the Namiki and find that they too, Are extraordinary. The Namiki Vanishing Point Pen. Watch the ordinary vanish, write.

A Great Disappearing Point
I've had lot's of pens, but this I love best, the point disappears, there's no stains on my vest, I love owning it, but I must tell you true, I'd like it much better if I could have two.

Quick with a Click
This fountain pen's ever so grand It fits like a glove in you hand With a click you'll be writing, expressing, enlightening With a flair that you'll never find bland. This pen has a beautiful line In a modern yet timeless design You'll find inspiration from its mechanisxal innovation And finish that's close to sublime I hate to come off like a drip But you might curse the placement of the clip In the way of your fingers, frustration it lingers As some find it screws up their grip The nib is so smooth and yet bold It is plain, yet a joy to behold It's not very flexy, yet still very sexy Like a little black dress made of gold.

A Poem for Clean Fingers
We know that Calligraphy Is the art of writing Beautifully. As you will see, Fingers will remain ink free When you select the Namiki.

Such a great idea... needs work
I'll admit- the idea of a RETRACTABLE fountain pen is pretty incredible. I loved the idea of being able to just "click" and have the nib ready to write. I've used several fountain pens over the past several years, and I high hopes for this pen. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy using this pen at all. In fact, I returned it to Levenger for a full refund about two weeks after purchasing and using it. Levenger, to their credit, has the best customer care that I've ever encountered... there were no questions asked, return shipping label e-mailed to me on the spot, etc., etc., etc. Here's my thoughts about the Namiki/Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen. I have two issues with this pen... the clip and the nib. THE CLIP- as you can see from the photos above, the clip is located on the end of the pen closest to the nib. This seems like a good idea because when the pen is clipped into a shirt or jacket pocket, it will be upright and the ink will be tipped away from the nib. The problem is apparent when you begin to write; the clip turns into a clumsy piece of metal that you need to contend with in order to get a good grip on the pen. I see in other reviews that several people really like it there- not me! I want a nice, solid barrel to hold without needing to fiddle around with where the metal clip should fit in my hand without becoming a nuisance. THE NIB- Oy ve. Wet, thick, and far to flexible for my taste. For a medium nib, this seems very broad. I felt like as I was using this pen, there was too much "spring" in the nib touching the paper. This (coupled with not being able to get a good grip on the pen because of the clip) made my handwriting look sloppy, which is definitely not the norm. I also noticed that this pen needed to be at a very specific angle in order for the ink to flow freely. If it wasn't at precisely the right angle, it was scratchy and not much ink was released. I prefer a pen that is a bit more forgiving. Aside from my comments above, here's a few good points about this pen: - Beautiful finish - The "click" is not too tense or loose - When the pen retracts it is covered by a small piece of metal inside the pen that gives extra reassurance that it will not leak - Good weight, balanced

Best fountain pen used
Overall, this is the best pen I've had. No leaks and ruined shirts. Smooth writing M nib. Excellent consistency. Levenger ink works fine in it. Highly recommend.

Love it!
I haven't used a fountain pen since in high school in the 70's. I had bought the Namki/Pilot awhile ago and forgot about it during a move. I found the box before Christmastime and thrilled to be able to write notes with the fluidity fountain pens provide and such beautiful script. So easy to use and store and transport, no leaking or drying or skipping. What a wonderful rediscovery of writing fun! Wish it came in fine too. Your products never fail. Thanks much!

Can't Get Much Better!
I hesitated to try a VP for quite a few years and once I bought one I had to wonder why I had waited. I had anticipated that the Medium would be more like an Eastern Medium but it was a true to size Medium. Flawless performance out-of-the-box. A wonder of form and functionality! I know this will not be the last VP I own!

Transition to Dynamic Pricing
A step-by-step approach to intelligent rate design.
could be simplified, or how best to achieve such simplification while reflecting sufficiently the key underlying economics of electricity supply.
There are many ways to make tariffs simpler and to help customers better understand and respond to price signals. A useful start would be to just simplify bill presentation by creating a simple summary sheet at the top of the bill and placing into a backup document the large amount of extraneous information contained in current bills ( e.g., all of the unbundled bill amounts). Of course, one could seek to simplify tariffs themselves. For example, a simpler dynamic rate is what some refer to as a pure critical-peak pricing (CPP) rate, which preserves the dynamic nature of CPP without the burden and confusion of facing a time-varying rate every weekday. A pure CPP rate, with a high price on a limited number of emergency days and a single low price on all other days with no increasing block structure, would be fairly simple for customers to understand. On the other hand, such a rate focuses only on DR and not on energy efficiency. Alternatively, one could use a more complex, cost-reflective tariff that incorporates time variation and increasing block pricing, and rely on technology to automate response to price changes or to translate the complex tariff into more understandable information through, for example, in-house displays that report cumulative and incremental bill amounts.
None of the above examples, however, address the most fundamental challenge of electricity pricing, namely, the fact that no matter how simple the tariff, customers don't know what a kilowatt-hour is or how much it costs them to do a load of laundry or a load of dishes or to run their refrigerator for a day. That is, customers don't know whether the simplest tariff, say 10 cents/kWh, means that it costs 5¢, 25¢, or 50¢ to wash a load of dishes, or that a 5-degree change in a thermostat translates into a $1 savings on a typical summer day or a $2 savings on a really hot summer day. Consequently, the industry needs to explore the feasibility of service level pricing, that is, pricing based on the end-use services consumed.
Would such an outside-the-box pricing strategy improve consumer decision-making? Could one be designed to reflect accurately the underlying economics of electricity supply? An example might be 10 cents for a load of wash done after 8 p.m. at night, but 30 cents for the same load done between noon and 8 p.m. during summer weekdays. While implementing such an approach might present many practical challenges, the potential benefits could be huge. Indeed, this might be the only sure way to significantly improve customer decision-making.
Completing the Transition
Any move to default dynamic-pricing rates is bound to create some anxieties, because it will make some customers better off and some other customers worse off. Of course, all customers will have the opportunity to become better off by lowering peak demands, especially on critical days, but they might be unwilling to try this out unless their concerns are addressed.

This randomized phase III trial is studying giving paclitaxel together with carboplatin to see how well it works compared with giving paclitaxel together with ifosfamide in treating patients with newly diagnosed persistent or recurrent uterine, ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritorium cavity cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, and ifosfamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective when given together with carboplatin or ifosfamide in treating patients with uterine, ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritorium cavity cancer.

Detailed Description:
I. To determine if treatment with combination paclitaxel and carboplatin (TC) chemotherapy does not result in an inferior death rate when compared to ifosfamide, mesna, and paclitaxel chemotherapy.
I. To determine if treatment with combination paclitaxel and carboplatin (TC) chemotherapy does not result in an inferior progression-free survival when compared to ifosfamide, mesna, and paclitaxel chemotherapy.
II. To determine if acute toxicity, specifically physician-assessed neurotoxicity and infection, associated with combination paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy is reduced compared to that of ifosfamide, mesna, and paclitaxel chemotherapy.
III. To determine if treatment with combination paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy is associated with superior patient-reported quality of life and neurotoxicity scores compared to that of ifosfamide, mesna, and paclitaxel chemotherapy.
I. To bank formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extracted from whole blood for future research.
OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to history of pelvic radiation (any vs none), disease status/stage at time of study registration (stage I-II [pelvic lymph nodes not surgically and pathologically assessed] vs Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] stage I-II [pelvic lymph nodes surgically and pathologically assessed] vs FIGO stage III-IV vs recurrent), and measurable disease (any vs none). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1.
ARM II: Patients receive paclitaxel as in arm I and ifosfamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3.
In both arms, treatment repeats every 21 days for 6-10 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Archival formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tumor tissue samples and a pre-treatment blood sample are collected for further analysis. Patients also complete quality of life (FACT-G, FACT-En TOI) and neurotoxicity (FACT/GOG-Ntx subscale) assessments at baseline and at weeks 6, 15, and 26.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

Secure an education and a future through the Naval ROTC Scholarship Program NROTC
It takes just two things to succeed in college: academic performance…and money. All too often it's money that gets in the way of graduation. The Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps (NROTC) Scholarship Program can solve the monetary problem – offering up to $180,000 for tuition plus a host of other advantages.
Financial Benefits
The NROTC scholarship does much more than cover most or all tuition costs at dozens of top schools around the country. It also provides:
- All additional educational and lab fees
- A stipend for text books
- A subsistence allowance each academic month to spend as you wish, which varies according your current year in school.
- Freshman – $250
- Sophomore – $300
- Junior – $350
- Senior – $400
It all amounts to a college experience unobstructed by financial concern. Allowing you to focus on what matters most: making the most of student life.
Life as an NROTC Student
Student Life
Too many good college experiences are spoiled by massive student debt or the need to take a job on the side. But when it comes to money matters, students in the NROTC program can take it easy.
NROTC students find time to pursue hobbies. Hang out with friends. Join student groups and intramural teams. And of course, focus on their academic performance. The NROTC program gives them the flexibility to truly turn their education into the opportunity of a lifetime.
Navy Life
NROTC students also gain valuable skills, learning leadership experience from a Navy perspective. This includes taking a Naval Science course each semester, participating in drills at least once a week, and wearing your Navy uniform (provided at no cost to you) once a week. You'll also have opportunities to participate in community service projects. These activities will prepare you for your upcoming career as a respected Navy Officer.
Another highlight for NROTC students is Summer Cruise Training, where you'll spend a portion of your summers alongside Navy Officers in the field, in a variety of capacities, including:
- Nuclear Power – assigned to nuclear submarine or nuclear surface vessels
- Afloat Aviation – assigned to train aboard a carrier, including flight time if feasible
- Ashore Aviation – assigned to train with a Navy aviation squadron, including flight time if feasible
- Foreign Exchange – assigned to train with navies of other countries
Your Summer Cruise Training will not only give you on-the-job experience as a Navy Officer, but it will also help you choose which area of emphasis you want to pursue.
Nurse Program
If you're interested in nursing, the NROTC is an outstanding way to pay for a top school and set yourself up for an exceptional career. Once you've graduated from nursing school usually debt-free, you'll embark on a career as a nurse and Navy Officer. Proudly attending to the men and women of the Navy and Marines – as well as their families. Counting yourself among some of the most respected professionals in the medical world. And finding opportunities for clinical hands-on training and accelerated advancement.
Colleges & Universities
The NROTC program provides scholarships to more than 160 top colleges and universities all around the country – many of which offer eligible nursing programs as well. Chances are, at least one of them is on your short list.
Eligibility Requirements
The Navy adheres to strict moral, physical and academic standards. This applies to students in the NROTC program. Here is a list of some of the basic requirements to apply for the program. You must:
- Be a U.S. citizen
- Be 17 years old by September 30 of the first year of college
- Not older than 23 years old by December 31 of the year you start college
- Have acquired a high school graduation or equivalency certificate by August 1 of the year you plan to enter the NROTC program
- Have no moral obligations or personal convictions that prevent conscientious bearing of arms and supporting and defending the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic
- Be physically qualified by Navy standards
- Not have 30 or more semester hours or 45 or more quarter hours of college credit upon application
You may start the application process during the second semester of your junior year of high school. Follow these steps. Or download a comprehensive application information checklist. (Can't view this file? Download Adobe Acrobat Reader)
Authorize the testing agency to release your scores directly to the NROTC Scholarship Program (program code 0656). No other means of providing scores to the program is acceptable. Scores forwarded directly from the applicant or a school will not be accepted.
- The minimum SAT scores are 530 Critical Reading, 520 Math
- The minimum ACT scores are 21 Math, 22 English
- Graduates in the top 10% of their class will be considered
- Scores will be accepted no earlier than Feb. 15 and will not be accepted after December 31
Tip: Apply to at least three NROTC-affiliated colleges or universities you're interested in attending. Your application will not be reviewed otherwise. Because each NROTC unit has a limited capacity for incoming freshmen, you may not get your first choice and may be assigned to your second- or third-choice school.
It is advisable to apply to the school(s) of your choice by November 1.
Your application package must be completed at the local processing station no later than January 20. You are responsible to ensure the release of official school transcripts and references and to verify their receipt by the processing station prior to the January 20 completion date.
Candidates may be considered by a selection board as early as August. Afterward, selection boards will meet periodically through April.
All scholarship applicants will be notified of their final results in writing.
After being approved for the NROTC scholarship, you will be contacted to undergo a physical to make sure you meet basic Navy health requirements. When the fall term starts, and after all physical qualification requirements have been met, you will be sworn in as a Midshipman. This when you will start receiving your subsistence allowance of $250, which increases as you progress through school.
Remember: the earlier you submit your application, the better your chance of attending the school of your choice. Also keep in mind that technical majors stand a better chance of being accepted into the NROTC program. Start your NROTC application now.
For more detailed information, visit the official Naval ROTC home page.
NOTE: If you are having problems accessing our NROTC website or other similarly encrypted sites, the problem is most likely certificate errors such that the browser indicates that the website is untrustworthy and will not connect. To remedy that, learn how to install the DoD Root Certificates into Microsoft Internet Explorer.
After Graduation
After you graduate, forget about looking for a job. You'll be all set for a ready-made position of leadership and responsibility.
Degree in hand, you'll then be commissioned as an Ensign in the Naval Reserve and committed to a minimum of five years of Active Duty service (four years for nurses). You'll pursue your career in one of several areas:
Surface Warfare
Naval Aviator (Pilot)
Naval Flight Officer (Aviator)
Submarine Officer
Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer
Special Warfare Officer
Nurse Corps Officer
Regardless of which career path you take, be prepared for a quantum leap in personal growth, leadership ability and professional development.
After the Navy
For countless Navy servicemembers, experience in uniform leads to continued success beyond. Take Tyson Clark for example. He went from the Navy to Harvard Business School to enjoying the challenge of starting up his own firm.

About Me Budget Shopper
Purchased these for next year. They are just what I have been looking for-good design, proper sentiment, disregards political correctness (which is fine) by saying Merry Christmas. We are celebrating the birth of the Christ Child!

I would buy this product again & again
By Friendly Marie
from Coconut Creek, FL
Use the cards to express my feelings to family and friends. I love them.
Nice verse
By holiday shopper
from Chicago, IL
I purchased these for the verse--I've not seen cards that have such a nice all-encompassing verse. The verse says everything you want to say & more. They are so appropriate for everyone, every situation. The size is good & the quality is fine. I did not get these personalized. I ran out and am ordering more for next year (to share with a new group of people).
Lovely cares
By D2
from New York, NY
Very professional looking cards. Use for family and friends, especially those we haven't seen for a long time.

Asus assures no more delays for keyboard-computer
Asus promised today that its much delayed Eee keyboard PC will finally ship in April. The device, which integrates an entire PC into a single keyboard unit, was unveiled at Cebit last year. However, shipping product has yet to appear. The most recent forecast shipdate was... last month, and the product was still a no-show. …
It won't be further delayed...
...next time, it'll be cancelled.
Anyway - entire machine in a keyboard? What, like a Spectrum, VIC, C64, Atari ST, Amiga, BBC B, etc etc...? Or more like a laptop without a screen?
Very revolutionary. I'm impressed.
an Apple II, and Ohio Scientific C1P, a PET, a TI 99, a Radio Shack Color Computer, or ...
yeah, I just hate it when totally revolutionary technology has teething issues!
* note: I am aware that some of the above may be larger than a standard keyboard by a bit, but hey, they are 70s / 80s technology...
The Amstrads were smaller, with a cassette drive at one end.
And don't forget
the Dragon 32/64
how hard is it...
.... to just take the LCD off a Netbook and call it done?
Even easier...
It's even easier than that. Netbooks/Laptops are a compromise of space and parts. With a full size PC keyboard there is enough space underneath for 2 netbook motherboards, so they should be able to fit something in!
As has been mentioned, they managed it in the 1980s with the Vic 20, Commodore 64, Acorn Atom/Electron (won't include my beloved BBC Micro as 90% of the gubbins were in the rear of the case, not under the keyboard.
Give me a keyboard, a netbook and access to a plastic injection machine and I'll have one ready for you by the weekend!
very hard actually
Do you think that Joe Average Consumer will drag VGA cable to a keyboard? Do not think so. And transmitting video wirelessly at HD rates is practically impossible. Uncompressed HD for all practical purposes exceeds the bandwidth of a WiFi network.
So let's propose that you solve all selfinflicted technical problems, you now have a computer which is for all practical purposes equal from a consumer's perspective to a new iMac for 4-5 times the cost. So will this sell?
[title] [/title]
"And transmitting video wirelessly at HD rates is practically impossible. Uncompressed HD for all practical purposes exceeds the bandwidth of a WiFi network."
Why, in the name of "mai green urfs" does every bloody computer HAVE to, in at least SOME people's minds, be capable of HD at all?
It's a bloody EE(EEEEEEEEEEEeeeEE!!!!!1!!111one!!) product, all it has to do is be small and (from what I usually see them being used for) play illegally downloaded anime at just good enough a resolution that the subtitles are crisp.
There's no reason at all for EVERYthing to go HD.
Do you mean...
It will take you less than a week to code the driver for the plastic injection machine? Sweet!
... except
No, not everything has to be HD capable but the likely market for this kind of device in today's consumer market is to add a browser to your flat screen TV. If it doesn't then support the native resolution of the screen via HDMI (and probably wirelessly) then people are not going to buy it in large enough quantities to make it viable.
I never said it would be pretty though... I'm planning on using the curves from a 1970s Volvo :-)
I wonder if this has anything to do with...
... Asus' inability to make a modern keyboard that works.
Google 'eee 1000 keyboard repeat'. I never did figure out how that made it past QA (and, as a former owner of a 1000, I can verify that the model did indeed suffer from that issue).
Eee 901
My Eee 901 is comfortably the shittest computer I've ever used. If its not doubling-up inputs, its not accepting input at all. And its my 4th one. Useless
Why aren't they calling it
The Eeeboard?
UAT delay perhaps?
I'm wondering if it's user acceptance testing and the chiclet keyboard isn't up to snuff?
Real reason
I think the delay is in sourcing the cassette tape drive to stick on the end...
I have got this brilliant idea
you know how some people have these telephone type things that are attached to the wall with a cable, well how about, drum roll please:
The Mobile Phone
Because you know it is quite useful to be out and about and be able to get a call anywhere you go.
Keyboard + coffee = dead keyboard
Keyboard + intergated computer + coffee = dead everything
This'll be brilliant!
They could call it the Asus eeeLectron or the Asus ArcheeeMeeeDeees!
The BBCeee Master? No, that's really stretching it.
Paris because... well...
Not good enough for A4 word/pdf documents.
96 dpi and 11.5" long = 1104 lines / rows of pixels
120 dpi and 11.5" long = 1380
96 dpi and 11.6" long = 1114
I'd normally want other windows/apps open, so even if a screen had a portrait mode, landscape suits better except for an eReader.
WS 16:9 is not too useful if it means losing vertical. Like on laptops, what can equal a 15.4" 4:3 1600x1200 screen for document editing without scrolling up/down? An equivalent modern is 17" 16:9 1920x1080. The still too large but more useful as a Computer 1920x1200 (16:10) seem to be gone.
I don't want a keyboard for my TV. It's going to be film viewing distance away and in a room with no desk.
I'd happily use one of these Eeee Keyboard PCs instead of a laptop if I could get a suitable LCD screen for it. I don't want a 22" HD screen either. At Document / programming / CAD creation/edit distance a 22" Wide screen should be about 1560 lines.
What if....
I wanted an external keyboard for language-specific reasons? I'd attach a keyboard to a keyboard and look stooopid. What's the problem with a Mac Mini?

Quote from: Millernation on October 08, 2010, 05:34:56 PMAnybody ready to agree about my preseason thoughts about needed a #1 and that Murphy is NOT it. Even those yoyo's from the Fraudgers podcast mentioned it and they sounded like the losers that lost to the losers. I'll feed you since you're hungry to be praised for nothing...first No!...I don't think that Murphy ISN'T a #1...cause it's too early, by the way Tim Brown arguably the best WR ever or in the top 3 major categories for WR...and he had a slow start to his career and had doubters but look how he turned out!...so you can toot your horn buddy....but it's only Week #5, come on dude!...it don't matter cause all you'll do is spin into something else.
Anybody ready to agree about my preseason thoughts about needed a #1 and that Murphy is NOT it. Even those yoyo's from the Fraudgers podcast mentioned it and they sounded like the losers that lost to the losers.
You know what would be funny? Re-playing all of those losing predictions by the Charger fans from their last podcast! They were right about being 30 some odd points but they had the wrong team.Go Raiders!
Greg........I agree, you are correct sir........but the coaching all leads back to AL. From the stupid ass man coverage on defense every play for the last 50 years to the selection of coaches........it all goes to AL.....he castrates his coaches and guess what??? Nobody who is a good self-respecting coach will ever come here again.........Im not gonna beat that dead horse, there is nothing left on the carcass to trash....it has been picked clean. I pray that he wises up but I dont see that happening. We are going to be doomed with these types of offensive/defensive schemes and these types of coaches until the old man goes to the afterworld........and you know what?? Al is 81 and his mother did not pass on util she was 102!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
where can i find the Videocasts now? they are not on I-tunes where they were
We have an audio podcast to do today, and then I realize that the audio is out of sync on the Titans Videocast I put up last night. You hear someone say something, then their lips move about a second later. Crap.Hopefully I can figure out the cause and fix it without too much time and work. I'm remixing it now. Keep your fingers crossed.
btw i had called in on the last episode of the Bone Line and yall thought i said RAIDER FRANK --when my name is RAIDER BRENT outta Arlington,TX
Raider greg, lets hope the raiders hit on all 8 cylinders instead of 4
Thank you so very much for pointing that out.......Im sure thats not all......
what about my show randy!
Damn. I'm getting backlogged already, and we've only played one game!I feel like Cable, "we'll get this fixed....this is fixable.....we'll get this back on track..."

Every year thousands of visitors to Alberta, Canada, motor west from Calgary into the Rocky Mountains, heading for the high-profile destinations of Banff and Lake Louise. After traveling for 50 miles along the Trans-Canada Highway into the scenic splendor of the Bow River Valley, they come to the off-ramp for Canmore. They might wonder what the town has to offer but feel they can�t stop because they have their sights set on the posh resorts and palatial hotels ahead.

Vika is a woman who is well known for having an adventurous side.
It should be no surprise to hear that during a photo shoot in Portugal she got the idea in her head to scale the walls of an old light house, completely nude! Not the type of person to ruin a girl's fun, Petter whipped out the camera and managed to capture the whole thing of film before she made her ascent, her long slender body silhouetted against the hot summer sun.
Vika has proved yet again that sometimes girls just want to have fun.

Writing a budget is something that many families do, and you can make one that works for your family with only a few things to keep in mind. The first thing to do is determine how much money you bring into the home each week. If there is more than one person who works, then add this income so that you have an idea of how much money there is to pay bills and spend on family activities. Envelopes are a great way to keep track of what you have to pay and how much money you have (more…)
If you are someone who is looking to save money, you are going to need a budget. Budgeting is neither fun nor easy, so take a moment to prepare yourself. Sit down with some paper and pencil, and write a list of your expenses on one side and your income on another. Remember that you should always do your best to make the income column larger than the expenses column.
Remember that you should not cut fun things out altogether. Doing that can result in you finding out that you are much more inclined (more…)
Keeping a budget can be difficult. The following simple tips can help you stick to an honest budget that works for you.
1. Set Realistic Goals – Choose budgeting goals that actually take your spending habits into account.
2. Use Tools – Use any budgeting tool that seems to help you succeed.
3. Watch ATM Trips – Budget a certain amount of cash each week, pull it out, and stick to that number.
4. Make Small Changes – Choose one small bad habit and try to (more…)
Whether you live in a green condo or an old co-op there are ways you can make your urban dwelling an environmental happy place. Here are a few thoughts for implementing better practices for the environment in your own home and your building:
Get Green Tech: Aside from your ADT Home Security System you've got a lot of options when it comes to in-home technical appliances. Buy washers, dryers and even refrigerators with the energy star label – they'll save you money and carbon emissions in the long run.
Turn Off Hall AC: If you live in a building where there are cooled/heated hallways talk to the board about turning them way down or off altogether. Odds are your hallways aren't that long and no one will even notice the slight change in temperature.
Start Recycling: Get everyone in your building to start recycling by providing marked recycling receptacles at all trash areas. Designate glass, plastic and even aluminum and you'll encourage people to start sorting their own recycling before it ever hits the pile. Any recycling your building does is better than nothing!
You may look at the title of this article and think "crash diet" or "it's going to take a long time", when in fact just cutting out the junk food is the easiest part of a diet or any health food plan.
Start off with the hardest cut first: the dreaded candy bar. I know it's going to be tough, but you're going to be thanking yourself in the long run. Just this first step, alone, is going to easily become the best thing you have and ever will do for yourself. Just (more…)
Yoga can be very beneficial for both the mind and body. Not only can it help you become more limber but it can also help you learn how to concentrate on how to control your breathing as well as helping you clear your mind from the stress that is filling your life. Another good thing about yoga is that it does not matter what your age is when you start. Anyone can decide to start practicing yoga as it slowly and safely allows your muscles to stretch and strengthen and trains your body to become more flexible. Yoga has several (more…)
It can be hard to fit a workout in everyday when you have a long to do list. You also may not like the feeling of having to work out. Try these five easy workouts that you can do, that don't even feel like you are working out.
1. Cleaning out the clothes closets in your home. You will be lifting piles of clothes, sorting, folding, and doing laundry. All of these activities will have bending, lifting, stretching, and burning (more…)
Cucumbers – Easy to plant but remember to keep them in warmth or sun as much as possible. They also tend to mature quickly so pick as soon as they reach around four to six inches in length.
Apples – One of the healthiest fruits, apple trees come in many varieties. If you don't want a tree that will cover your whole backyard, you can always pick one that will only grow to six feet. Apples usually take around two years to (more…)

Inside Shot – Indy 500
Posted on: June 6, 2011 | Comments (1) | Flickr, Indy 500 |
In previous Inside Shot entries I have discussed one image from an IndyCar race that was featured in the indycar.com galleries or the IndyCar Flickr site. For the Indy 500, it is difficult to single out one image.
For most IndyCar race weekends, the activities take place over 2 or 3 days. For the Indy 500, activities started on May 7 with the Mini-Marathon and weather-postponed Balloon Race, and ended on the evening of May 30th at the Victory Celebration banquet. During that period, I shot at the track 20 days and took over 9,600 images. For comparison, at Long Beach where both IndyCar and Indy Lights were in action, I shot around 2,300 images.
You may wonder why we spent so much time at the track given there were only 10 practice and qualifying days. At Indy, there are so many other activities we covered including the Celebration of Automobiles, the American Dairy Association Rookie Luncheon, celebrity two-seater rides, Emerging Tech day, the unveiling of the Marmon Wasp postage stamp, Community Day, and Rookie Orientation.
My favorite images are those that tell a story. Although these may not qualify as the "best" photos during the month, they are photos that help tell my favorite stories from the month.
One of the top stories of the month was the hardship that Simona de Silvestro faced after her accident. It was obvious her hands were still hurting watching her get in the car after her incident. She didn't let the pain stop her from signing autographs even though everyone would have understood if she said she needed to let her hands rest.
J.R. Hildebrand had a great month – fastest Rookie in the field, first day qualifier, race runner-up and Chase Rookie of the Year. Unfortunately for him, he would have been the race winner if not for his final lap incident in turn 4. Similar to Simona, the way he reacted to his adversity showed his class and character.
To me, one of the big stories that got overlooked throughout the month was the success of the Rahal Letterman Lanigan team, especially Bertrand Baguette. Here was a team that hadn't raced this season, with two drivers that hadn't raced in IndyCar this season either, and only one previous Indy 500 start between the two drivers. Both Baguette and Jay Howard were first-day qualifiers, and Baguette was one late caution period away from winning the race.
Of course, the big story was Dan Wheldon's win in a one-off ride with Bryan Herta Autosport. According to Indianapolis Motor Speedway Historian Donald Davidson, Wheldon is the first winning driver at the Indy 500 to lead only one lap, and he probably led less than a quarter of a mile. It was great to see the pure emotion he expressed after his win. He should continue to be a great ambassador for the Indy 500.
Next up is Texas Motor Speedway.

The Art of the Plausible
Prospects for clean energy legislation in 2011.
that a big tent will include so many easier technologies that the capital-intensive technologies will never get built.
• Preferences & Disincentives: Once qualifying technologies are selected, the real debate will be over incentives and disincentives within the selected technologies. Historically, using state RPS legislation as a guide, political or policy preferences between competing eligible or qualifying technologies generally haven't been handled with outright exclusion, but by a series of economic kickers or set-aside minimum mandates within the overall scheme. Under this approach, everything plausibly clean can qualify, but preferences or disincentives for particular sources are added to address favored outcomes.
Based on state RPS experience, a few key program design issues have tended to emerge: tiered classification; set-asides and carve-outs; and kickers, adders and multipliers.
With tiered classification, eligible resources can be placed into different tiers that provide differing economic incentives, different time frames, or minimum or maximum requirements for different tiers. Thus, an economic tier system would place all resources into one of three tiers, and provide a different amount of credit or compliance mandate for each tier. For example, tier 1 may be worth 1.5 credits, tier 2 worth 1 credit and tier 3 worth 0.5 credits. By way of example, Graham's bill used a tiered system for allocating credits to biomass, with three increasing levels of output efficiency providing three different amounts of credits.
Set-asides and carve-outs identify one or more qualifying resources for separate treatment. The separate treatment is either an incentive or a disincentive. It might be a minimum requirement (a set aside) of the overall mandate as having to come from such set-aside resources. Some states require a certain percentage of the overall state RES goal to come from solar. Or it could be a carve out, that limits the amount of a particular technology that can be used— e.g., lawmakers could address a restriction on gas by placing a 50 percent cap on natural gas usage, which would be a carve out that ensures natural gas generation is never more than 50 percent of the overall CES portfolio. By contrast, set-asides mandate a minimum percentage of certain technologies. These can be particularly useful for high-cost or high-uncertainty technologies such as CCS. Thus, if 10 percent of the overall CES mandate had to come from CCS by 2025, for example, the result would be the construction of a few CCS facilities (equal to at least 10 percent of the CES mandate), and the purchase of CLECs generated by these facilities from complying entities across the county. Similarly, a set-aside for traditional renewables would ensure some minimum amount of the CES comes from those resources.
Credit kickers and adders provide another way to place a premium value on one or more types of qualifying resources. A kicker would establish, for example, that for every 1 kWh of energy produced by a qualifying kicker source, the developer receives 1+ credit to use or sell. The Graham CES included kickers for advanced coal generation and efficient biomass. Kickers are similar to economic incentive-based tiers, in that both provide

Standards and technology don't reduce energy consumption, despite the claims of efficiency zealots. Real energy savings only come through behavioral change.
2007 Finance Roundtable: Pricing Regulatory Risk
Despite a favorable outlook for utility finance, cost pressures are straining rate structures.
Nastro: We see three main catalysts prompting increased volatility. First is subprime contagion. Some rumors suggest the subprime meltdown will cost as much as $150 billion. Second are failed LBO financings. The short-term pipeline is teed up with $400 billion at this point. Third is concern about liquidity. Central banks are providing liquidity support, but problems are lingering, especially in the A2/P2 commercial-paper market.
And then there's the general concern, is there another shoe that has yet to fall?
Cortright: Everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Liquidity is definitely strained. Bankers are taking a good deal longer to find investors, but they are finding them. Companies are paying up a bit, repricing the exposures they have to contend with.
On the short term, commercial paper side, the A3 market is just gone. There's nothing there. The A1 market is moving along basically uninterrupted, and the A2 market, where the bulk of issuers are, is seeing something of a slowdown.
Hempstead: I don't know how long liquidity and credit concerns will take to work themselves out. But at the moment, we have a stable rating outlook for utilities. For the last five years the credit metrics for this sector have been good. They're not as good today as we might have expected five years ago, but they are good.
Fortnightly: What does market volatility mean for independent power and below-investment-grade projects?
Bodington: It's putting downward pressure on valuations. What's underway is a classic flight to quality. We're seeing an increase in spreads. Risky deals have to earn a higher rate of return compared to high-quality deals, and some of the riskier deals won't get done at all, until their sponsors can cure some of the defects.
The real irony is the highest-quality assets might get even more aggressive. Their valuation actually will go up, because risk-averse buyers will say, "I've got a lot of money to spend and I don't want to buy any risky assets, so I'm going to compete even harder to buy into the good deals."
Maloney: The phrase "flight to quality" can translate into a flight to deeper pockets. On the merchant-power side of the business, if you have a bigger balance sheet, you are more able to handle risks. It means fewer entrepreneurs coming into the market and more market concentration, heading in the direction of market power.
Cortright: As disrupted as the markets are right now, they are looking for simplicity and certainty. There are special challenges on the unregulated side. To get financing they must have long-term contracts in place, and it adds an element of complexity.
Fortnightly: What lessons should utilities take away from the subprime meltdown?
Maloney: There's a lesson to be learned here in risk management. It often takes a bad day in the market to show how bad the models are. You need to use a very structured process and constantly validate your models against market fundamentals.
Rogers: My personal view is the current market environment reinforces the prudence of staying ahead of your capital formation needs.

Alexis, Raquel and Sotiria Martinez have attended the same schools since each started kindergarten.
So it's nothing new for the sisters to see one another on campus at Frederick Community College, where all three are now students.
"It's just like normal, it's as if we're back in elementary, middle or high school," Sotiria said.
What is new to the sisters is seeing their parents on campus -- where they, too, are pursuing associate degrees.
"It definitely doesn't feel odd. It feels normal," Alexis said of seeing her parents around campus.
Charles and Georgia Baldwin enrolled at FCC to further their career aspirations and to set an example for their daughters.
"I just wanted to show them that it's possible, anybody can do it," Charles said.
Charles, 40, the grounds maintenance supervisor at the National Emergency Training Center in Emmitsburg, is set to graduate this spring with an associate degree in business management.
Georgia, 44, is in her second semester studying for a business administration degree. An administrative officer at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, she said FCC is an extension of the family home.
"We have individual goals that we're just accomplishing together," she said.
Sotiria, 19, is studying art education and Raquel, 18, is in her first year in the criminal justice program.
Alexis, 20, is set to graduate in 2014 from the respiratory care program now housed at the new Mount Airy College Center for Health Care Education.
Of the five family members, no two have ever taken a class together at FCC. Everyone but Raquel is now taking an online course as part of their full load of course work.
Two younger siblings, ages 7 and 5, may eventually be enrolled at FCC, according to Georgia.
The Martinez sisters, all graduates of Gov. Thomas Johnson High School, enrolled at FCC for different reasons -- ranging from the desire to stay close at home to not wanting to take the SAT.
So far, they have all enjoyed the community college atmosphere.
"It's more adult life," Alexis said. "You have a lot more freedom than in high school."
Even more than two decades out of high school, Charles and Georgia said the transition back into the classroom has not been as difficult as they expected.
"I think a lot of it was because I was involved with their education, so it didn't really affect me as bad as I thought it was going to," Georgia said.
The five family members are set to receive their associate degrees within two years, but they don't want to stop there.
Each plans to attend a four-year college or university; options include Frostburg State, Mount St. Mary's and Towson universities.
Georgia hopes to go even further. She has set her sights on earning a Master of Business Administration.
"In our day, you could get away with a high school diploma, but today it's very different," she said.
The family agreed that FCC is helping them to reach the next step in their education primarily because most of their credits transfer easily.
"It's a great place to start," Charles said. "It's local, it's close to home and it's cost-effective."

the allowed return on equity; 2) make adjustments to the fair value component of income for regulatory purposes; or 3) average income over a number of periods to dampen the impact of any one period's change in fair value. Regardless of the method chosen, it's important that stakeholders agree how to handle these facets of the ratemaking process in advance of IFRS implementation, so that controversy after the fact can be minimized.
Regulatory Preparation
A key issue for utilities in North America is how a switch to IFRS will impact regulatory reporting and decision making. 17 Canada is set to adopt IFRS by year-end, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to support a convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS. 18 Thus, it's important that regulated entities prepare for the upcoming accounting changes. To do so, regulated entities, regulators, and other stakeholders need to address the impact of the accounting changes on regulatory policy and practice.
Fundamentally, the transition and convergence to IFRS could affect the calculation of rate base and the revenue requirement. There are two potential solutions to changes in the data upon which regulators base their decisions. Regulated entities could prepare two sets of books, which would be costly and would inevitably lead to controversy as stakeholders review two different sets of financial information. Alternatively, regulatory policy and practice could be modified to rely on IFRS in the same manner as GAAP is used today. Regardless of the policies put in place, neither regulated utilities nor customers should become winners or losers.
If a company decides to prepare two separate sets of books, then it also needs to recognize the associated costs. Companies will have to finance additional software, personnel, and potential legal activity that two sets of books might create. Further, it's important to take a holistic approach and consider the impact on not only the regulatory environment, but also on the utility's financial and tax reporting and how this information is used by the financial community, regulators, customers, and other stakeholders.
First, if the regulatory environment will rely on the financials that result from IFRS, it's important to prepare for a transition and to build a consensus about which areas, if any, need a unique (non-IFRS) treatment. Clearly, if the IASB doesn't adopt the draft proposal or a similar statement, the largest such issue is regulatory assets and liabilities. If IASB were to adopt the current proposal, a decision would need to be made regarding the treatment of regulatory assets and liabilities for entities subject to regulation other than cost-of-service. Second, if the switch to component depreciation changes the timing of the depreciation amount, how does one ensure that there's neither a rate shock nor an insufficient cash flow effect on the utility? It may be necessary to create a special mechanism that allows for a phased-in switch to the new depreciation rates. This would smooth out rate changes and thus prevent rate shock if the new rates are higher. Third, because the measurement of the asset retirement obligation will differ from current practice and be

Haydn: Symphonies Nos 73-75
CDH55121 Helios (Hyperion's budget label)
Movement 1: Grave Presto
Movement 2: Poco adagio
Movement 3: Menuetto: Allegretto
Movement 4: Finale: Vivace
On 26 March at Mr Barthelemon's concert, an English clergyman was present who fell into the most profound melancholy on hearing the Andante (or 'Poco adagio', as it was more usually marked) … because he had dreamt the previous night that this piece was a premonition of his death. He left the company at once and took to his bed.
Today, 25 April, I heard from Herr Barthelemon that this Protestant clergyman had died.
The symphony has no other morbid associations, however. Indeed, the finale is one of Haydn's wittiest, complete with sudden pauses, unprepared changes of direction, and a whispered coda that springs one last surprise …
from notes by Matthew Rye © 1990


text: Easily one of the funkiest albums that James Brown ever recorded – and one of his few entries into the blacksploitation genre of the 70s! James really outdid himself for this one – working at a hard burning pace that had the JBs cooking up some killer funk for just about every number in the set – and which also has James himself stepping out vocally for a few key tracks. The album features the massive groover "People Get Up and Drive Your Funky Soul" – a slamming track that beats nearly every number in the JB 70s catalog – plus other cuts that include "To My Brother", "Brother Rapp", "Sexy Sexy Sexy", "Slaughter Theme", "Transmogrification", "King Slaughter", and "How Long Can I Keep It Up".
