ferrous scrap,
shredded scrap,
prime scrap,
Sean Davidson
MUNICH Weak demand from U.S. steel mills is not likely to offer any major support to shredded scrap prices despite reports of supply tightness, according to market participants.
Strong flows of prime scrap, particularly No. 1 busheling, throughout the year have allowed many mills to increase their intake of busheling during the past few months, sources said. Increased busheling in each melt will continue as long as busheling and shredded scrap prices remain on par within $5 to $10 per gross ton of each other, they added.
Buyers at some mills confirmed the trend, but many said not every steel mill is structured to take advantage of such anomalies.
"Some mills have the ability and do change their melt practice to optimize on grades that have higher yields and are lower-priced. Its always about value in use. Ive actually increased the percentage of busheling in our charge the past three months because its been a good value," said a buyer at one mill. "Depending on the type of busheling, the density may not be as good as shred, however."
"Prime can be substituted for shred," a buyer for a second mill said. "You give up some density, but chemistry-wise and yield-wise, prime is better. The benefit that shred provides vs. prime is better density. When prime (prices) compress against shred, mills can and do adjust their mixes to a point. There will still be demand for shred, but it will be lower as long as prime is trading at or below shred levels."
A few sources said that while a change in mix toward No. 1 busheling is a more logical approach in the current price environment, some mills will not take advantage of it due to traditional melt-shop practices.
"My sense is that only the most stubborn steel shop managers will want to hold their scrap mixes. Shredded will need to adjust or fade as a percentage of the scrap buy. Given the seasonality, we are likely to see some of the feeder network pull back supply, at least marginally," a third source said. "Integrateds will buy more bundles and electric-arc furnace shops more busheling. Theyd be crazy not to do so."
"Mills will startweve startedto look at using more prime scrap," said a source at a fourth mill. "But every melt shop guy has his recipe. If youre making rebar, its a different story than if youre making flat-rolled products. Rebar guys should start using more prime because its better for them. It has low residuals. Id run all the busheling I could." He said his mill had cut back its purchases of shredded scrap by 20 percent since July in order to take in more No. 1 busheling.
"The mills or melt shop superintendents prefer their normal shred mix in spite of the price/residual ramifications of cheaper prime scrap," a fifth source said. "There will be mills that will tweak their melt and consume some percentage increase in prime vs. shred."
He said that softening demand "will offset the reported tightness of shred supply feedstock, allowing mills to buy cheaper in October without much problem."
Others agreed. "Im not certain that I have a strong view on how this phenomenon may impact prime and shred prices. (It is) likely the abundance of prime will not permit shred prices to rise even if shred supply is actually tight," the first source said.
"Some mills have the ability to shift melt practices and use more prime, but some dont have as much flexibility or still prefer to use frag (shred) over prime for efficiency issues," a sixth source said. "I think there will be some shift to prime, but not enough to keep prime prices from falling more than shred prices this month."
A few sources, however, said that while some mills could switch to taking in more busheling scrap, it will not necessarily affect prime scrap prices because the trend is not universal.
Several market participants in the Midwest have speculated that prices for both prime and obsolete grades of scrap are set to shed between $30 and $50 per gross ton for October (amm.com, Sept. 27).

Re: FOR COMMENT - US sanctions PDVSA
Released on 2012-10-18 17:00 GMT
|2011-05-24 18:28:38
The US State Department announced sanctions against Venezuelan state owned
oil company Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA) May 24 in retaliation for
Venezuela's shipments of gasoline to Iran. The sanctions bar PDVSA from
any US government contracts, as well as any US-sourced export/import
financing. It is too early to know the precise impact the sanctions will
have, but on its face the move to sanction PDVSA appears more form and
less function.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez announced in Sept. 2009
a deal worth $800 million according to which Venezuela would ship the
Persian Gulf state 20,000 barrels per day of gasoline to supply domestic
consumption needs. Venezuela has admitted to occasional shipments of
gasoline between 2009 and 2010, but has also made several statements
indicating that they had halted shipments because Iran no longer needed
Venezuelan shipments. Closer to the truth is that the Venezuelan refining
sector struggles to meet soaring Venezuelan domestic demand, suffers from
a serious lack of maintenance and can barely keep up with its own
production needs. Venezuela simply lacks the capacity to subsidize the
Iranian economy.
Another pressing concern for Venezuela is the possibility that it might
actually provoke a serious response out of the United States by violating
sanctions against Iran. While relations between the United States and
Venezuela appeared to ameliorate briefly in the wake of US President
Barack Obama taking office, the two quickly returned to tense relations.
The most recent source of tension between the two states was the
extradition to Venezuela by Colombia of accused drug kingpin Walid Makled
[LINK]. That these sanctions come in the wake of what some interest groups
in Washington view as a missed opportunity to gain leverage over Chavez,
is no coincidence. Pressure is building in Washington to take action
against Chavez and his regime.
Despite this pressure, the sanctions announced May 24 do not appear on
their face to be nearly as destabilizing as they could be. Barring PDVSA
from US government contracts is not something likely to impede PDVSA,
which remains tightly focused on revitalizing its own domestic industry.
It is less clear what the effect of a ban on export/import financing will
be, however, Venezuela has some room to maneuver in the financing
department. With currency and gold reserves of around $26 billion and
several slush funds available to the government for general use, short
term financing may be something that Venezuela can cover itself.
Furthermore, Venezuela is not without friends. An increasingly close
relationship with China has recently brought billions of dollars [LINK]
worth of financing into Venezuela, increasing Chaveza**s options.
The relative softness of the sanctions can be attributed to the mutual
dependency that exists in the US-Venezuelan relationship. The US imports
XXX barrels of oil from Venezuela per day, and has no interest in
seriously threatening Venezuelaa**s PDVSA-controlled energy industry. For
its part, Venezuela relies on the income from its exports to the US
market, and while the Chavez government has no problem engaging in
rhetorical battles with Washington, it cannot afford to truly alienate its
northern neighbor.

A little Colonial Mist baker. Okay, this wasn't a real 'need' but I have a mixing bowl in this pattern and it's one of my favorites.
Hope everyone has a happy summer week. Now back to the Olympics.
I love the new things at Target! Especially because they are microwavable!ReplyDelete
You got some lovely finds! I am particularly fond of Pyrex bowls, too. In fact, I was given a set 52 years ago at my wedding shower and I'm still using it. It's a set of three pink and white graduated bowls. Only one of the lids broke but some day I'll find a replacement. I collect creamers and you got a sweet one.ReplyDelete
GREAT finds Amy! wow!ReplyDelete
So pretty! Your post is timely for me as I've just now jumped on the Pyrex bandwagon. I will need to make mine practical pieces, because I just don't have enough room amongst all the fabric for much more!!ReplyDelete
They look so much prettier now than they did when I was a child! My mother still has some of that stuff!ReplyDelete
the lid on that dish is amazing. i love my vintage pyrex....also on that bandwagon....i have quite a few pieces. i started to phase out the plastic containers in my house...now i just buy them because i love them.ReplyDelete
It is just happy and cheery!ReplyDelete
I love the little creamer!!ReplyDelete
Oh no, I really need something else to start obsessing over! Beautiful pieces.ReplyDelete
Do you have a list of Antique shops you like to visit? I live in Shippensburg, PA and Frederick is only a hop, skip, and a jump away.
Thanks for sharing!
Wow GREAT finds! Love Pyrex :).
Have a great week.
So pretty, we just don't get that stuff here (that's probably a good thing, I have no room for new collections lol)ReplyDelete
Great finds! I snatch up Pyrex, too, when visiting my favorite thrift stores.
I have some of my mom's and those that I received as wedding shower gifts over 30 years ago.
love love love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
Beautiful Pyrex. (Most of my friends received it for wedding gifts 30 or 40 years ago. I didn't get married, and it never occurred to me to buy some for myself! Does that date me or what?!!!) A few months ago I did have to throw out a 1 guart measuring cup that I had for decades.ReplyDelete
Wow! That's quite a haul! I've been eyeing a set of mixing bowls like that little yellow one that you have -- but they're at an antique shop and they're pricey!ReplyDelete
Love all your pretty Pyrex!! So fun! xo HeatherReplyDelete
Funny - I live in Corning, NY and there is street named Pyrex!ReplyDelete
That little yellow mixing bowl is so handy! My mom has had it in red forever, and it's been in such constant rotation since her wedding in the 70s that it's not all that red anymore. :) Good stuff.ReplyDelete
Love your pyrex. I have started collecting it a few months ago. The 3 pieces I have so far... I love!!!
Love the blue dish!!
Such pretty pyrex!! I love them all! Hope you have a wonderful day! xo HollyReplyDelete
Ah yeah....rub it in that you aren't coming east this summer!;) Maybe I'll have to go to the Antique Emporium and look for Pyrex for you!:)ReplyDelete
I didn't know that my wedding shower gifts are now vintage. 38 yrs ago I receivedmany different sets of the blue snowflake pattern. I still have all the nesting bowls and one baking pan. The rest lost their battle with the kids and a tile floor.ReplyDelete
Yep anything 25 years old is now Vintage. Great bowls, good for anything. My DIL collects them too. I need to go on a Vintage shopping day again soon... last time a few of the shops were closed (day before the 4th of July). I like the blue and white too. My Pyrex wedding gifts were the Harvest pattern, I think.ReplyDelete
Hi Amy! Fun post! I just started reading your blog and I loved seeing you visit Maryland! I live in Mount Airy and actually am a teacher with Frederick County Public Schools. I am going to have to check out the Emporium in Frederick! :-)ReplyDelete
I LOVE vintage pyrex...but wow...the new stuff from Target is pretty cool too...think I need to make a Target run!ReplyDelete
Oh this takes me back to my childhood, growing up in the 70's!! My mom had a set of oval casserole dishes with lids in avocado green - matched our kitchen!! Have fun collecting :-)ReplyDelete
I *heart* (and collect) Pyrex too. What fun to see your new pieces!ReplyDelete
I'm a new Pyrex collector. My sister is responsible for this addiction! I should return the favor and get her into quilting! Great finds!!ReplyDelete

Change has come to retail banking on a significant scale as the range of customer-owned channels grows in popularity. Increasing numbers of clients now access their accounts through PCs, tablets, smart phones and mobile phones. How will the ATM fit into this evolving payments field? In particular, how will ATMs, mobile phones and online banking interface in years to come?
Until now, the biggest recent development in ATM technology has been deposit automation. But well see later in the article that a new era of innovation in payments and ATM technology is only just starting. First, lets assess the impact of adding automated deposits to the ATMs growing armoury of functions.
When it comes to cash, which is not going anywhere for several decades given the robust demand for cash across the world, even small financial institutions and credit unions with a handful of ATMs are installing advanced function units with automated deposit capabilities.
Cash depositing has been a leap forward for ATMs and for cash. It enables a system of continuous cash recirculation to take place which decreases costs for transporting and replenishing cash, helping to keep cash still the main product of ATMs competitive.
Technology improvements in recycling technology, coupled with increasing demand for recycling as it relates to lower cash management costs and simultaneous cash deposit capability, said Diebolds director of advanced technology development, Jim Block, are creating new value propositions for ATMs in the near-term future.
Adoption of automated deposit-taking ATMs has increased sharply. By 2009, 464,000 such machines had been installed in 46 countries. There has been a recent compound annual growth rate of 20 percent. The recycling ATMs have been around for years but have only recently started to find this kind of market penetration. The accelerated adoption rate has caused churn in the existing stock as large numbers of banks have moved to replace old machines with new deposit-taking terminals. Retail Banking Research predicts that the number of deposit-taking ATMs, which are being placed in branches as well as retail locations, is likely to rise to 1.3
million out of a total ATM base of 3 million by 2015. One new deposit-taking ATM model has an expansive 22 inch screen which can adjust to the height of the customer.
There is a strong business case for the enhanced ATM. Jim Block explains: Deposit automation technologies have greatly improved the ATMs contribution to banking efficiencies receiving cash deposits directly into the ATM without an envelope [cuts] administrative costs of deposit handling.
Anja Lindner, head of industry marketing banking at Wincor Nixdorf, places these cost savings within the larger context of improving cash handling processes, technology and shortening the cash cycle. Cash recycling is a step towards shortening the cash cycle," she said. New sensor technologies for cash authentication, improved read rates and harmonization with the TCO (total cost of ownership) items of an ATM will be particularly important in this context.
The good news is that this popular deposit-taking, cash-recirculation ATM represents only the beginning of innovation in our industry. The background for future evolution of the ATM is the new world of Customer Owned Devices being used for payments and how they will interface with ATMs.
A real game-changer in this space is the arrival of mobile Internet and its scope for
expanding the use of mobile payments. Juniper Research suggests that there might be 550 million transactional users of mobile money by 2015. And its thought therell be more people accessing internet via mobile devices than PCs by then. At the end of 2011, there were already 6 billion mobile subscriptions, estimates the International Telecommunication Union (2011), equivalent to 87 percent of the world population. It must be remembered, though, that about 90 percent of mobile internet use is to socialize, not to buy online.
Recently, there has been a surge of online payments through mobile devices, mostly using a PIN or password for authentication. PayPal has noted a month-on-month increase of 25 percent in mobile payments. Traditionally, its transactions have been from PCs. Now PayPal is piloting innovations like mobile ticket purchase. Aite Group consultancy forecasts global mobile bill payments will rise from US$16 billion in 2010 to US$214 billion in 2015.
Some thought leaders in the ATM industry have already raised the question of the need for a new delivery channel strategy and best practices for channel convergence in this new mobile-digital era. Given the global footprint of 2.3 million ATMs, as well as the rising worldwide demand for cash, there is no reason why the ATM cannot remain the leading self-service channel. It can certainly play a pivotal role within the growing family of complementary customer-owned devices. There are now many companies promoting alternative transaction at ATMs, up from a handful only two years ago.
The ATM and cash are proving competitive in the new mobile-digital payments
environment. For example, cash in circulation in Kenya has continued to increase steadily despite the exponential growth of M-Pesa mobile banking (M is for mobile, pesa is Swahili for money), a celebrated world leader in mobile payments. This Kenyan mobile-phone based money transfer service was introduced in April 2007. By 2012, 17 million M-Pesa accounts had been registered in Kenya. M-Pesa allows users to deposit, withdraw, and transfer money easily with a mobile device, move money to a bank account, pay bills and purchase airtime. They can also
send balances using SMS technology to other users (including sellers of goods and services), and redeem deposits for cash. M-Pesa customers can deposit and withdraw money from a nationwide network of agents that includes airtime resellers and retail outlets acting as banking agents.
While M-Pesa has facilitated e-cash transfers, it is not replacing cash. The high growth of mobile payments in Kenya from 2007-2012 was matched by a strong and steady increase of currency in circulation as shown by Central Bank of Kenya data.
The increase in cash demand, in the period in which the revolutionary payments technology was taking off in Kenya, speaks to the probability, in my view, of a long-term co-existence of cash, m-cash and e-cash in our future mobile-digital world. I am convinced were going to see accelerated channel convergence in the months and years ahead.
ATMs and CODs, such as mobile phones, are already regarded as part of the same family of devices by banks and vendors. And that message needs to get out to the cardholders and mobile phone account-holders, millions of whom regularly use ATMs. At ATMIA, which has over 3,700 members in 60 countries, we are working on a plan to evolve the ATM into an electronic payments hub.
ATMs and mobile phones are starting to converge in a positive way. Today, money can be taken from ATMs using mobile phones in cardless transactions in countries from Japan to Greece, from Turkey to Spain. A synergy is certainly developing between mobile phones and ATMs. In the future, consumers will use their mobile banking apps to pre-stage an ATM withdrawal or transaction. And mobile phone accountholders generally use cash to top up their mobile air time. Its thought by industry leaders that cardless ATM transactions have a big future. Thinking
further ahead, this kind of contactless technology at both ATMs and Point of Sale terminals may mean the end of plastic cards in a decade or two.
We should not forget that a strong software platform for ATMs has enabled this
technology evolution to advance to the point that ATMs should become a payments hub. Block traces the growth of this platform as follows: There has been a progressive improvement of computing power, memory capacities and hard drive technologies, display interface standards (VGA through HDMI), UI standards (such as touch screens), peripheral busses (serial/parallel ports through the current USB versions, bluetooth, etc.) and network connectivity technologies (from low-speed modems through Ethernet, Wi-Fi and cellular). Block believes ATMs now have
formidable computing platforms to drive innovation while, at the same time, reduce costs. Looking further ahead, he sees this ATM software power increasing with a shift toward cloud platforms and network-based software.
As a general principle, there is an ongoing need to connect the digital world to the real bricks and mortar world, as in the example of mobile banking linking to ATM banking on the high street. Its a two-way process because ATMs are evolving to become more customer-friendly and intuitive in a mobile-digital world.
The way to optimise this growing connection is to link cash and cashless methods of payment in one complementary and seamless system ensuring maximum consumer choice and convenience. PayPal, for example, as the world leader in online payments, with more than 100 million active users in 190 markets, has moved into mobile payments with its PayPal Mobile service and now is looking at PayPal ATMs which would enable PayPal customers to redeem in cash the
value stored in their digital wallets if they so choose.
Banks need to ensure their customers can readily make online payments, m-payments and use the ATM for a variety of services in a coordinated set of integrated, branded customer experiences, linking self-service, branch and CODs as inter-related delivery channels. The mobile phone, like Internet banking, is becoming another keyboard connecting us to our bank in the way that ATMs have connected us to our accounts for over four decades.
But how do we ensure the customer is experiencing all these different bank keypads seamlessly and consistently?
One workable model, which lets new CODs rest on the shoulders of established banking technologies, is to make the ATM the hub linking the bank and the branch to the customer and his/her set of CODs. Ultimately, the following terminals could link into the ATM hub:
This model enables the bank to view todays customer in a holistic light and his/her
devices in an integrated way. There is no such thing as the Internet customer or the branch customer, observes Wincors Lindner. Intuitive customer experience, she says, has become a key driver of innovation. In many countries, multi-functionality is a common strategy at the ATM to provide consumers with added value .Examples include offers like end-to-end check processing and services such as invoice payments at the ATM, but there are also many other
possibilities. This trend could continue all the way to customized banking at the ATM.
To achieve this kind of integration, self-service is a crucial node linking CODs, especially mobile ones, to the bank infrastructure with its delivery channels, including branches. Any and all types of devices can be connected to the ATM. Andrew Martin, of Retail Banking Consulting Group, and experienced ATM deployer in Europe and the UK, is excited about two projects underway which connect the ATM with the online world.
One is the Foreign Currency provider here the ATM becomes a new delivery channel for their FX online system, said Andrew. A customer orders Euros online and collects them at the airport through the ATM at departure or arrival. The second project is providing loans at ATMs. In the loans areas we see customers applying for a short term loan online with a non-FI, they then collect that loan at the ATM for immediate cash.
Andrews click & collect concept is a promising development that allows customers to order online and then to collect at an ATM, linking bricks & clicks. We see numerous retailers on the high street closing down retail locations and converting them into collection points where shoppers buy online and collect at their leisure, Andrew forecasts.
Another new and innovative connection between the ATM and a banking channel that illustrates the power of the ATM hub model is the potential for interactive tellers at the ATM using video banking. Video interaction at the ATM or branch brings the bank closer to the customer while keeping the convenience and cost saving - of the remote delivery channel intact. The benefits of 24-hour, self-service availability can now combine with the human interaction possible at the branch. The migration of the ATM industry to Windows, and, in future to Windows 7, can only increase and extend this kind of interface innovation.
The branch experience is critical to a banks brand and its business performance, and technology can help improve that experience, said Michael OLaughlin, senior vice president, NCR Financial Services. We are seeing many innovative financial institutions recognize how APTRA Interactive Teller can help them efficiently bring more services and a better experience to their customers without losing that human touch.
All of these new connections in this period of increased channel convergence need to be managed. In the future, it has been suggested in an ATMIA white paper that there could be a central unit responsible for coordinating the development of the overall customer experience. Centralization would ensure that each terminal and interface carries a common set of images, corporate messages and navigation tools. Common content may be aligned across all terminals, or the coordinator may choose to vary the functionality according to the device and its location. The screen and keyboard, making up the lions share of the customer experience, would be managed to ensure commonality of image, corporate messages including brand building and navigation style. In addition, many adjacent technologies will begin to impact the available functionality and performance of these terminals, such as CRM, digital advertising, and video.
Taking all these developments into account, it is easy to draw the conclusion that the branch of the future will be a customer-centric multi-channel, multi-function, multi-device environment. CODs and self-service channels will be experienced as part of the same family. ATMs will work with desk tops, tablets, pads, mobiles of all types, and other technologies and channels. Branches could use technologies such as video and advanced digital advertising across all customer interfaces in synchronized campaigns.
The use of evolving recognition and authentication techniques, such as palm-based biometrics or contactless ATMs, could play into the convergence space by activating sophisticated CRM campaigns. The ATM can perform all of the tasks needed in an effective channel convergence strategy from brand communication to personalized CRM based sales.
In my view, the global physical infrastructure of the ATM, as well as its expanded
computing power and functionality, not to mention its 10-year history of CRM programs, makes it an ideal candidate for the centralizing role of payments hub.
The advantage of the convergence model is that the ATM has pioneered self-service banking and has becomes the high-service level device everyone trusts. Its a unique machine that combines electronic transactions and physical cash transactions. ATMs are now capable of automating all of the principal teller transactions and many others carried out in a retail bank branch. The ATM is where the high tech and high touch, described by futurist and physicist Dr. Michio Kaku (http://mkaku.org/), can meet.
Kaku reckons our wants, dreams, personalities and desires have not changed much in 100,000 years and that when modern technology clashes with this primitive human self we carry around inside us, the primitive desires win every time. There is a constant competition, he argues, between high tech (e.g. watching a sporting event on television) and high touch (e.g., attending the live event in person). All other factors being equal, Kaku believes we will always choose high touch. Cash is high touch, digital, electronic transactions are high tech.
At ATMs, as I have suggested, high tech meets high touch. ATMs are also where
high tech and low tech meet. For a world of advanced and emerging nations, where the majority of humans are comparatively poor (and unbanked), this dual capacity of the ATM to reach people from all walks of life is unmatched in banking. A prime example is how ATM remittances allow migrant workers to send cash back to their home countries electronically. The combination of high tech and high touch makes the ATM a powerful technological force for convergence. That is why I see it becoming the payments hub of choice for this generation.
We can forecast that future ATM hardware and software developments will take place within this framework of channel convergence. The overarching objective will be to reinforce the patterns of interface between customer and bank/ATM deployer with the ATM as the hub. In short, I foresee the rise of the ATM hub, a far-cry indeed from the original 1967 design of the cash vending machine outside the branch.

I met him recently at his
I met him recently at his show in Southaven,MS and we were told to get there at about 6:15 but the meet and greet didn't start until about 7. It was a long line and you really only got 2 minutes with him, got a hug, took a picture, got another hug, and you walked out. He was really sweet and down to earth and you could tell he was appreciative. But like everyone said it was short and to the point. I wish I could have held a conversation.
Has anyone been to one of
Has anyone been to one of Trey's meet and greets at his concerts this year? I have been to both concerts in Atlanta and im going to the one in Birmingham and im considering purchasing the meet and greet but it depends on the amount of time you get to see him.
I went to one in Indianapolis. It was very brief because he had an afterparty to attend. We understood though. He was really nice. When I walked into the room he laughed and said he saw me going "ham" in the crowd. I was the only fan wearing the "YUUUP" shirt so I guess that's how he spotted me. He was really cool and down to earth. I told him he needs to come to Indiana University Bloomington for Little 500 Week. He said he might check it out. I hope he does. We always get big name rap artist, but never an R&B artist. I want another opportunity to meet him and pick his brain a little. His work ethic is crazy! It was a great experience meeting him though. :)
Me and my twin sister met Trey at The Sound Check Pamper Party in Memphis Tn. It was cool but I wish we would have had more time with him. The radio station made it seem like he was going to be there for the entire party but he was only there ten minute. He was nice though. We each got to take a picture with him, we got a autographed picture, and he gave us all a hug.
Mslex00 Love the pic !!!! I told ya he was nice and humble lol Hes gonna be in town this sat. at a club in Dc I wanna go the VIP area but it is so expensive lol maybe next time....
Hey, I was at the meet and greet in Baltimore, I took my 13 year old daughter as well who loves Trey. It is very quick, you go up to him get your picture done, get your hug, say a couple of words and yur out of there. But I would do it again in a heartbeat, he is the best and so sweet. He fussed over my daughter, we had front row seats and he gave his shirt to my girl.
He's the best, whenever I have the opportunity to meet him believe me I will.
His team got in touch with me about five days prior to the show, we had to be there at 6p.m. and the show started at 8p.m. We all me in a designated area and were all taken back together, but you went one at a time in the room and there was only one other person in there with him, the person taking the pics, and there was someone at the door. You picked up all your vip material at the ticket window when you get there. It's all very smooth and organized.
But he is wonderful and very warm.
Hope this was helpful for you.
He is tall Iam 5 feet so I wore high heels lol. My pic was blurry The girl did not know how to work the camera. The pic looks shaky oh well its been done with so Good luck keep me posted. @ Arisaja the show was so amazing. I want to go to the one on the 4th in Dc I just cant find good seats:(
Damnn fa real? its like tht? im sorry tht happened. now im not even tht pressed to get backstage passes no more. i hope its not always like tht. nd i was at the Baltimore concert too. so amazing! :)
They will notify you via email a couple of days before the show. He was nice and down to earth so sexy too lol. They say you cant give him stuff well you will see all the rules they give you before you meet him. I dont think its staged on who he brings on stage it seems real. Well good luck to you and let me know how ur meet and greet went. Hopefully it will be longer than mine.
MsLex00 The meet and greet was before the show. I was so excited to meet him I drove 2 hrs to meet him. I been thinking why was the meet and greet so quick? Then I started to think about everyone that would come out from the meet and greet had a straight face not even smiling.... maybe they were in shock. Not sure But I did pay a couple of hundreds to meet him I was thinking it was more less going to be like a mingle man was I wrong. Still sad devasted and speechless....
I just did the meet and greet at baltimore and it was like 20 sec per person. I was so sad and disappointed that I spent so much money and we didnt get much time to talk . It kinda felt like a herd of cattle. You are in you are out. Quick pic and hello move on. I am so disappointed that the autographed picture was already pre signed.
Hey guys join the page for Trey on FB "Sometimes she call me Trey, Sometimes she say Tremaine"!!!
I haven't been to one but I hear its after the show and may last all of maybe 10 minutes. You get to talk to him and take a picture with him also...so its nice just don't take that 10 minutes for granted. Make the best out of it!!! Good luck!! Let me know how it goes!!

Wheat harvest big surprise amidst worsening drought
Area farmers, whose concerns are growing daily in the midst of a deepening drought, received a big surprise last week when they discovered one of the best wheat crops in years in the fields.
Jeff Lehman of Lehman Feed Mill noted that most yields exceeded what was anticipated, and in some cases returns were in the 80 and 90 bushel per acre range. Even more important, Lehman said, was the exceeding high quality of the wheat.
"What a surprise," said Lehman. "For one thing, the harvest was two weeks ahead of schedule. It is already pretty much done. It turned out really well; the quality of the grain is just excellent.
"A lot of the wheat was over 60-62 test weight," continued Lehman. "In a good year we are happy with a 59-62 test weight. This was a beautiful surprise to all of us."
Lehman attributed much of the wheat's bounty to the fact that the weather stayed dry after the wheat headed.
"It stayed dry when it pollinated," Lehman said. "Wheat is a dry weather crop; the dryer it is the better.
"That's the good news and we thank the Lord for our wonderful wheat crop," continued Lehman. "Now for the other side, I'm afraid that our corn is starting to slip on us. The biggest fear is that it will go into pollination already in the midst of heat and dry weather. That would really hurt the pollination of the crop. It really needs a cool down and some rain, and pretty quick."
Lehman said that conditions have been so dry that there is very little dew in the mornings, a source of moisture to the corn stalks. He noted that it was prevalent for a couple of days following last week's showers, but is no longer there.
Lehman projected that corn has about two more weeks before major slippage begins and that beans may have up to a month.
"The corn got off to a great start; it rooted down nice, the stalks looked good, but I'm starting to see some unevenness right now," observed Lehman. "There's no question that those crops that got out early are doing the best.
"Now, there's nothing out there, no apparent change of pattern," added Lehman. "I'm afraid it's going to become much more difficult, even to put on chemicals because the weeds are starting to harden up with this dry weather. We have great farmers in this area; they know what to do, but even they can only do so much. We really need the cooperation of the weather. It's in the Lord's hands, what else can we say."
A special bulletin issued late Monday from the National Weather Service in North Webster was not encouraging.
"While the region is enjoying a cool down with highs in the 70's and lower humidity values, this will abruptly end with dramatic warming Wednesday and especially Thursday as high pressure responsible for the 100-plus temperatures over the central and southern plains edges toward this region," stated the weather bulletin.
Tuesday, the National Weather Service stated that temperatures on Thursday could very well be in the 100-105 range, with nearly a repeat on Friday and temperatures remaining in the 90s through the entire period.
"The heat and lack of deep moisture will aid the drying process already underway across much of northern Indiana and northwestern Ohio," said the NWS. "Drought conditions will likely worsen further with continued impact on hydrological and agricultural interests."
Weather specialist Rick McCoy, who is monitoring drought conditions daily in conversation with weather officials, said that he wished he had better news on a long range basis.
"Unfortunately, the seasonal prediction just released indicates that widespread drought conditions are expected to worsen over a great deal of the central part of the nation, including the local area and most of the corn belt, through September," said McCoy. "Of course, things could change. The remains of a hurricane or tropical storm moving up the Mississippi Valley would be a wonderful thing for agriculture, but current patterns are taking those up the east coast.
"One weather observer said a couple of days ago that it's beginning to look like 'no man's land' out there in some parts of northern Indiana right now," said McCoy. "That's pretty serious language; I don't believe I've ever heard them use that term before. The prospect of beneficial moisture is very grim right now."
McCoy said that even light showers or storms producing a half inch of rain or so don't do a whole lot because with present heat and low humidity levels, the evaporation rate is ranging up to two inches a day.
"It's going to take a lot of rain over a long period of time to get things moving in the right direction again," said McCoy. "Thank goodness, in most communities, there was plenty of ample water supply in reservoirs and sources of water when this started."

|Wish List
Cheap I was really disappointed with this necklace. It looks and feels cheap. The filigree pattern was messed up/cut incorrectly so it looked pretty bad. I returned it. August 18, 2014
Cute Necklace This necklace is very true to the online image and hangs nicely. It appears to be more of a brushed gold than a true gold, which may be nice if you do not like a brassy gold. Great value! March 13, 2014
Amazing I love this necklace, but for me is a bit short, so I have to combine two and just elongate it. Overall great purchase, very delicate and high quality February 28, 2014
Chic I love this necklace. The adjustment chain gives me enough wiggle room if I need to lower it. I wear this all the time with my V-neck sweaters. The color of the gold is beautiful. It is not over powering. October 23, 2013
Flimsy I wished this necklace was longer. The shorter length made it hang oddly. Also the two 'chips' are very cheap and thin, almost flimsy. I ended up returning this necklace. July 12, 2013
Fabulous! Love, love, love this. Great tone of gold overlay for a fashion piece of jewelry. Versatile - wears well with casual or dressy. Nice extender in the back to adjust for different outfits. Very pleased with this purchase! June 4, 2013
Very Pretty This necklace is very pretty. It does appear a little cheaply made when you take a hard look at it, and it does tangle pretty easily. BUT, I didn't purchase it planning on wearing it to a gala event or anything. For fashion jewelry, this is nice. December 6, 2012
So Glad I bought This Easily on of the most versatile necklaces I own. Every time I wear it, I receive compliments. It doesn't twist upon itself throughout the day like others. It is light weight but good quality. November 21, 2012

Ford's US Sales Up 6.5 Percent in November
DEARBORN, Mich. - Ford says U.S. sales rose 6.5 percent in November thanks to strong demand for its F-Series pickups and the company's new C-Max hybrid.
Ford's results are mirroring the rest of the industry. The sales pace has quickened thanks to rising consumer confidence and continuing low interest rates.
The company says its F-Series sales rose 18 percent compared with November of 2011. It was Ford's strongest November for truck sales since 2005.
Small cars also did well. Sales of the Ford Focus increased 56 percent, while sales of the new C-Max were up 52 percent over October.
Ford says it's increasing first-quarter production by 11 percent from a year earlier, a sign of its confidence in the ongoing recovery in sales.

- Design foundry: Unknown
- Source: Font Bureau
The Agenda™ design is a humanist sans-serif font with sharp corners and perfectly circular curves. It is a deceptively simple looking typeface, with narrow stroke widths and no emphasis, false serifs or curling shapes. It was created by Greg Thompson for the Font Bureau and was based on a 1916 typeface Edward Johnston designed for the London Underground.
Agenda History
The Johnston typeface, named after its designer, Edward Johnston, had been commissioned for the public signage and messaging in the London Underground transportation system. It included a lower-case set as part of the original commission, making it fairly unique in its day. Previous to that, most display typefaces only contained upper case characters.
Edward Johnston's background as a master calligrapher showed through in his font design. In calligraphy, there is a technique called the "foundational hand" which directs the calligrapher to use completely vertical strokes when forming uprights in letters. In addition, accompanying rounded portions of letters such as "d" or the upper portion of a "p", are intended to be completely circular. The combination creates a distinctive hand lettering style.
London Transport (which includes all metropolitan public bus and rail services) adopted this highly recognizable branding. The London underground logo, also designed by Johnston, was (and still is) a perfect circle bisected by a horizontal line. Notably, the circle of the logo matches the font very well and the utilitarian look of the sans-serif face he created made reading underground signs at a distance easier. The font was updated in the 1980's when the London Underground revamped their look.
Working as a physical typesetter before he was a renowned designer, Greg Thompson learned type design from the ground up. In the 1990's, he looked to Johnston's typeface for inspiration in creating the Agenda typeface family, which retains most of the original uppercase features present in the original version. Thompson is famous for many design masterpieces in the world of typography and advertising and has produced a huge variety of weights within the Agenda typeface family, making it one of the most versatile sans serif faces available.
In keeping with the Johnston style, the Agenda design's characters feature sharpened tops of uppercase letters such as "N" and M", which appear pointed and include no horizontal flattening of the upper or lower acute angles common to most standard typefaces. The lowercase set retains few direct features of the uppercase, but the rounded shapes carry the design through and other barely detectable nuances make the two sets very compatible. Specific features of the typeface include quirky oblique square (diamond-shaped) dots over the "I" and "j" which give them a pointed appearance that matches the tops of the N and M capitals mentioned earlier.
Overall, the Agenda design is a very fresh take on the original Johnston design and has found uses in all areas of graphic design and advertising.
Agenda Usage
The Agenda design has found its way into the mainstream of publishing partly due to the design quality, but also to the huge variety (54) typefaces currently available. It has been used in a multitude of print applications since the first version came out in the early 1990's.
The wider Agenda sizes are particularly suitable for strong headlines, while the regular weight's high readability from a distance make it a popular poster font.
Many newspapers, including the Daytona Beach News Journal, the Birmingham News from the UK and The News Tribune from Tacoma, Washington, use the Agenda design regularly in their publishing.

I posted this a little while back and it expired...looks like they are back up again!
These are the sunglasses that started it all, the Ray-Ban AVIATOR. Originally designed for the U.S. military fighter pilots in 1937, this classic version has a Black metal frame and crystal green lenses. They offer superior clarity and 100% UV radiation blocked to 400nm (exceeding the US standard), they not only look good, but are easy on the eyes.
Whether you're spending your days imitating the volleyball scene from your favorite Air Force-training movie, or you just need some Ice Man-like style for your beach vacation, the Ray Ban Aviator Large Metal Sunglasses are for you. The crazy-tough metal frame wont snap like a twig when you take the highway to the danger zone, and the polycarbonate lenses dial in optimal clarity while you spin the ball on your finger and menacingly peer at your opponents like a hyena after fresh meat.

A slightly smaller interpretation on the most famous style in sunwear. The iconic Wayfarer is immediately recognizable anywhere in the world. This update adds a new level of playfulness to the iconic shape. The Ray-Ban signature logo is displayed on sculpted temples. The New Wayfarer flaunts a softer eye shape than the original and offers both classic and fashion bright color options. These sunglasses allow the wearer to enjoy a classic, celebrated style while adding their own individuality. A contemporary update of a timeless icon.

Cheap vs Expensive sunglasses. As with most things in life, you get what you pay for. Expensive sunglasses last longer, and provide more clarity. They are also better for your eyes (reducing the need to squint for additional clarity or extra glare). The frames are also much much better. I think it is best to own at least 1 cheap one and 1 good one (depending on activity). Frankly this seems to be a warm deal, but there are uses for expensive sunglasses.

Felipe Massa believes the usual suspects will again be challenging for honours this year, and he is confident Ferrari will be among them.
Red Bull showed just what they are capable of on day one at Barcelona this week with Mark Webber's time more than one second better than that of the second-placed Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes.
However, the pack has been very close during pre-season testing so far and many believe it will be the same once the new campaign gets underway.
Massa feels Red Bull and McLaren will once again be the leading contenders for silverware.
"Sure Red Bull will be one of the top teams and top cars for the Championship - this year nothing changed in the rules," the Brazilian said.
"I don't believe they lose the direction as everything is similar.
"I believe it is the same for McLaren. Everyone knows more or less the direction, so we need to work and put everything together in our car to be in that direction as well."
Asked by Autosport how confident he was that Ferrari will be at the right end of the grid, he replied: "Sure I am confident. You are always very confident at the beginning of the season, and the feeling of the car is positive as well.
"This year is definitely much better for the feeling of the car, and the car behaves more in the good direction.
"Until you drive the qualifying with the same fuel and the same tyres and everything, it is difficult to say. But I trust in the team and I hope we can be there in the top level."

Neal Augenstein, wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Some bands get rich and famous. Others never get the credit they deserve.
A recent blog post in the Huffington Post names The Kinks as "rock's most underrated band."
Tough to argue with the band whose "You Really Got Me" power chords and riffs have influenced musicians ranging from Pete Townshend to Oasis, and have been covered by everyone from Van Halen to Tony Award-winning singer and actress Patti LuPone.
Ray Davies, his brother Dave Davies, and The Kinks formed in 1964.
They've amassed five Top 10 singles on Billboard charts in the U.S. -- nine of their albums charted in the Top 40.
You Really Got Me video:
Take the song, "Waterloo Sunset," which rock critic Robert Christgau called the "the most beautiful song in the English language."
Yet, other bands have generated songs to buoy a generation without receiving the attention -- and money -- they deserve.
The Ramones defined punk rock in 1976, yet had limited commercial success before they disbanded in 1996.
KISS has filled concert halls since the 1970s, but still isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Weigh in on Facebook or use the hashtag WTOP on Twitter and tell us which band you think is the most underrated band.

And The Best Semantic Tech Solution SIIA CODiE Award Goes To….
The Software & Information Industry Association this year debuted a category for Best Semantic Technology Solution in its 2013 SIIA CODiE Awards. Two products were finalists in the category (see our story here), and yesterday the winner was announced. It was the Luxid Content Enrichment Platform from TEMIS Inc, which is used by publishers to automate the extraction of entities, relationships, concepts and topics from their digital assets, and augment content enrichment and linking.
It won out over finalist Elsevier with its ClinicalKey solution for helping doctors and clinicians search Elsevier's medical and surgical content smarter and faster. ClinicalKey maps content to Elsevier's proprietary medical taxonomy, and builds relationships using a semantic framework to faster and more clinically relevant answers. Elsevier, by the way, just ended the voting for its own ClinicalKey Key Innovator Awards, with the prize being a $10,000 grant to a U.S.-based hospital, medical school or institution that has demonstrated the most innovative use of information and technology to save lives and improve patient care.

Buenas Noches!
My name is Leonardo Dela Merced - Nueva Espana. My friends call me Leandro due to my long name. I started as a seeker in Buddhism a few years ago. As years of slow but continuous inquiry, I started to have an attachment with Buddhism. I was in love with the simplicity, value and peacefulness it innately had. My Buddhist exploration and investigation were hidden and discreet from the people I love. Majority of my friends take pride with their religion which is common to the rest of my family. This brought pressure for me as a person who inquired at other religions. However, this has never been a big blockade for me to understand and learn Buddhism.
Secular Buddhism has been growing in me. However, I'm starting to explore other traditions such as Zen, Mahayana and Therevada to get a bigger perspective of Buddhism as a whole. I hope I will gain good friends that could guide and educate me along the process.
