Boise: 208-362-6200

If you have large industrial or commercial buildings or warehouse space evaporative cooling might be the best and most economical fit for your business. In a lot of applications Boise evaporative cooling is the economical and best way to go, you get 100% fresh air, cheap cooling and low maintenance. If you have large spaces that doors are opening and closing a lot then it will be very costly to have mechanical air conditioning over the Evaporative style. With Nampa Evaporative cooling you actually want the air to be vented back to the outside, this helps with the cooling and not having too much humidity buildup. With evaporative cooling you also get an environment that doesnt dry out your skin and sinuses where as air conditioners remove the humidity from the air. One of the other great pluses to this style of cooling is there is no refrigerant to ever replace, it uses water as the cooling agent.
Why Breezair? There are a few reasons that we recommend Breezair evaporative coolers in Caldwell.
As with all mechanical equipment there is of course annual or bi-annual maintenance that is required to get a long trouble free life out of your evaporative cooler in Boise. Some of this is as simple as cleaning and inspecting the unit in the spring for proper operation of all parts and motors and in the fall making sure everything is properly drained down on your evaporative cooler to prevent freeze breaks once winter hits. There is actually very little maintenance on these units.

"It's at times like these I really, really hate being an Englishman," a fellow journalist to my right exclaimed.
Six deliveries later, Stuart Broad had misfielded off his own bowling a couple of times, fluffed a run-out and tossed the overthrow that handed the Netherlands a shock win.
As much as Holland stole the show at Lord's on Friday, it was Broad and the rest of his embarrassed team-mates' incompetence that saved a World Twenty20 opener seemingly destined for a damp squib hours prior.
With questions over the validity of pitting the hosts against the minnows rather than fellow Group B competitors Pakistan in the first game looming large, Jeroen Smits' valiant charges effectively did the tournament organisers a favour by pulling off an upset victory, thus deflecting the substandard nature of an England-Holland clash raising the curtain on a world-class event.
The Dutch team - a large contingent of them without contract and on unpaid leave to be at the tournament - thoroughly deserved their victory, and always in favour of anyone that beats the Brits or Aussies, I enjoyed a hefty smirk as English pundits vast and varied shared a collective tear in their hallowed Lord's press box seconds after Broad's duff.
Aside from the batting ranks' inability to capitalise on the groundwork done by Ravi Bopara and Luke Wright and their abject fielding performance, query needs to be put to team management as to why Adil Rashid got a game ahead of Graeme Swann and how Rob Key cracked the nod ahead of Dimitri Mascarenhas. Whether it was captain Paul Collingwood's choice or that of coach Andy Flower to go with the fringe players ahead of the recognised stars, the move reeked of underestimating the opposition and the ultimate price was duly paid.
Skipper Smits - known for his outspoken views on the ECB's failure to allow the Dutch to compete in the Friends Provident Trophy and other related county competitions - on Thursday hoped that his team would "show them a thing or two about winning".
Well, that has indeed come to fruition and now it's just left for Pakistan to finish off the English and the Super Eight stage will welcome an unexpected guest.
Meanwhile, as purists rolled in their graves and turned in their seats, the Home of Cricket did superbly well in embracing the T20 showpiece on Friday. While the brash, effusive sounds of The Prodigy and Eminem drowned out the screaming silence and severe lack of atmosphere in the press box and the dear cheerleaders did well enough to feign interest in their cheesy choreography, off-field proceedings by and large succeeded in living up to the apparent precedent set by the glitzy Indian Premier League recently.
Now let's just hope Mum Nature and her oft-sodden mood play the game and allow for more of the theatrical same for the duration.

Bees delay Charlotte flight for 2 hours
Updated On: Jul 24 2013 04:40:06 PM EDT
Some US Airways passengers in Charlotte were stuck on a plane for more than two hours Wednesday due to bees.
The plane was scheduled to take off for Indianapolis around 1:15 p.m., but it didn't take off until around 4 p.m.
A gate agent noticed bees gathering around a tug that was going to push the plane away from the gate, US Airways officials said. The plane was held at the gate, and a beekeeper was called in.
Everyone remained on the aircraft during the delay.

Shortly after the Cybersecurity Act gained Senate approval to proceed to filing proposed amendments and a vote next week, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D N.Y.), a sponsor of the gun control amendment, came to the floor to defend the idea of implementing some "reasonable" gun control measures.The amendment was sponsored by Democratic Sens. Frank Lautenberg (N.J.), Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Jack Reed (R.I.), Bob Menendez (N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Schumer and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.). S.A. 2575 would make it illegal to transfer or possess large capacity feeding devices such as gun magazines, belts, feed stripes and drums of more than 10 rounds of ammunition with the exception of .22 caliber rim fire ammunition.

Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 5 1/2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar
- 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 6 oz sliced Canadian bacon, cut into 1- by 1/4-inch pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large eggs
- 6 cups torn frisée
Whisk together mustard, salt, shallots, parsley, and 4 1/2 teaspoons vinegar in a large bowl. Add 3 tablespoons oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over high heat and brown bacon with pepper, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes.
Fill a deep 10-inch skillet with 1 1/2 inches of water and 1 teaspoon vinegar and bring to a simmer. Break 1 egg into a cup, then slide into water. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs, spacing them evenly. Poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer eggs to paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
Toss frisée with dressing. Serve topped with bacon and eggs.
Cooks' note: The egg yolks are not fully cooked, which may be of concern if salmonella is a problem in your area.

Julian Theater
918 W. Belmont Avenue,
1 person favorited this theater
Showing 7 comments
News item concerning the Julian: Chicago American, Thursday, September 5, 1940, p. 21, c. 6:
Chicago's home of Scandinavian talking pictures, the Julian Theater, 918 Belmont av., which has been closed for several months because the war in Europe caused almost complete cancellation of films, has succeeded in obtaining a new Adolf Jahr feature which might be the last to be seen on the screen of the North Side cinema until the events overseas are cleared. The latest importation, "Only a Trumpeter," will reopoen the Julian on Saturday, September 14.
Here are my photos of this theater.
It opened in 1914.
Sure, i'll do that as soon as I get home. i'd appreciate it if you emailed me (click on my name) because any link I post will expire. I think the theatre had a tin ceiling as well, from what I was seeing in the rubble. When I was there, those tin wainscots were covered partially by some cheap pine. It's really too bad it was torn down, it looked like it would've made a nice replacement for the Bottom Lounge, although there's no telling what kind of shape it was in.
Can you post a link to your photos? We climbed around in the rubble on Sunday, but there wasn't much to see. Apparently drywall had been put up over the original walls, which were painted green and had some nice mouldings and basketweave circles on them (For lights?) There also was some red hammered tin wall decoration exposed (like that found on the ceilings in many Chicago bldgs) and a few random seat cushions strewn about. We also found some chunks of scrollwork (part of the old facade?), it seemed at one point it had been painted baby blue. Would love to see your pics.
The Julian was one of a handful of early theaters built by James Costen, including the James Costen on E 61st, the New Western, and he also acquired the Ellis (Shakespeare)
In the last few days, the Julian has been in the demolition process. The church has been gone for some time. It appeared to be a rather simple interior, with some plaster 'frames' on the walls, and had a small balcony. I have some photos.

Oil falls as Saudi Arabia seeks to calm markets
Oil dropped nearly 2 percent Tuesday as Saudi Arabia sought to knock back the price rise that has threatened the global economy, with the oil minister offering the most detailed argument to date that OPEC nation was prepared to meet any supply shortfalls.
March 21, 2012 1:57 by kippreport
Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said the kingdom was pumping 9.9 million barrels per day — the most in decades — supplying every customer request, and was willing to turn the taps to the maximum 12.5 million bpd immediately if needed.
The kingdom, which has tried to calm oil markets on edge about the potential loss of Iranian supplies this year, has filled storage levels outside the country to 10 million barrels to help build a cushion for markets.
"My only mission is to convey to you that there is no supply shortage in the market," Naimi told reporters at a media briefing in Doha, Qatar, adding supplies were now outpacing global demand by more than 1 million bpd and that current prices are "unjustifiable".
"We are ready and willing to put more oil on the market, but you need a buyer."
Oil prices have risen 15 percent this year as US and European sanctions aimed at ending Iran's nuclear ambitions have prompted Tehran to threaten to close the Strait of Hormuz shipping lane.
Oil prices fell early in the day after Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah, ruler of Kuwait, said Iranian officials had assured his country that Tehran would not close the strait, through which 35 percent of global crude sea-borne shipments pass.
Brent crude fell $2.11 to $123.60 a barrel by 1:44 p.m. EDT (1744 GMT), off earlier lows of $123.20. US crude fell $2.74 to $105.35 a barrel.
"Crude prices are down as the Saudis are assuring global markets that they have all the oil available for anybody who wants to buy," said Gene McGillian, analyst for Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut.
"This follows recent news that Saudi production is stronger and that a large number of VLCCs (very large crude carriers) are headed from the Middle East to the U.S."
Saudi shipments to the United States have jumped 25 percent this year and were expected to increase even more in coming months. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the Obama administration welcomed the OPEC kingpin's decision to fill any supply gap created by loss of Iranian crude.
Saudi Arabia is the only country with large amounts of spare oil production capacity available to help compensate for global disruptions.
The spike in oil and gasoline prices has become a key theme in US elections, and the White House is mulling ways to bring prices down, including a possible release of oil reserves from strategic stockpiles.
Sources told Reuters last week that Britain had decided to cooperate with the United States in a bilateral agreement to release stocks, in an effort to prevent high fuel prices derailing economic growth.
But prices pared losses early on Tuesday after France and Germany came out in opposition of an emergency release of their oil stockpiles. Last year, an emergency inventory release aimed at making up for Libyan supplies disrupted by the Libyan civil war was agreed by the 28-member, Paris-based International Energy Agency.
Additional pressure on prices came after a senior official with Libya's National Oil Corporation said exports were set to exceed prewar levels.
"We have been seeing articles about increases in Saudi supply offsetting a reduction in Iranian oil since Friday," said Tony Machacek, an oil futures broker at Jefferies Bache Ltd.
"But now combined with Libya coming back up and running and weak Chinese demand, it is all contributing."
China said it was raising retail gasoline and diesel prices by 6 to 7 percent, the biggest increase in nearly three years, which analysts say could curb demand growth.

One of the first country music television channels goes back on the air tomorrow. The Nashville Network spent nearly two decades on cable, but Gaylord Entertainment sold TNN around the same time it closed the Opryland theme park. A few years later, Viacom reformatted the channel, ultimately renaming it Spike TV.
Now The Nashville Network is being revived as a broadcast network airing on digital subchannels.
During much of the 1980s and 90s, TNN shot shows like Ralph Emery's Nashville Now in studios near the Grand Ole Opry House.
The new TNN will rebroadcast some of that programming along with music videos and a handful of new shows. It's a joint effort between two Tennessee companies. Chattanooga-based Luken Communications already owns subchannel networks like TuffTV and RetroTelevision. Jim Owens Entertainment is the Nashville production company behind Crook & Chase, a country entertainment news show that was a mainstay of TNN in its cable days.
Crook & Chase kept going in syndication after the old network went under. It will be a centerpiece of the new TNN lineup.
In Nashville, TNN will air on channel 4.2, using some of the extra room on WSMV's digital frequency.

Foundation Fieldbus SIFspecification TÜV-certified to SIL 3
Foundation technology enables process end users to realize significant capex and opex benefits by extending fieldbus benefits into plant safety systems. The FF-SIF protocol was approved by TÜV Anlagentechnik GmbH to meet the requirements of IEC 61508 up to and including safety integrity level (SIL) 3.
The latest Foundation for SIF technical specification defines analog input (AI) blocks for fieldbus transmitters and other SIF devices. In addition, the FF-SIF function block specification now addresses discrete output (DO) blocks, which is a major enhancement required for deployment of a complete fieldbus-based safety system. The updated specification package also includes the SIF device ITK profile, offering an easy way to map SIF field device requirements to existing SIF ITK versions.
The updated FF SIF ITK Version 1.1 includes a new, intuitive user interface, as well as additional test cases for testing SIF DO blocks and a variety of updates to existing test cases. The Foundation for SIF ITK includes a host of test cases verifying the functionality of a fieldbus device and its conformance with the Foundation fieldbus function block and transducer block specifications. It also incorporates a DD "Super Viewer" allowing examination and verification of a device's DD, and a conformance test procedure for the physical layer. The DD Super Viewer supports validation of existing DDs and the new DD 5.1 format. Device developers can walk their DD, execute methods, and render visualization elements supported by the new DD 5.1 technology.
The interoperability test suite can be paired with an ITK automation tool designed to eliminate several manual intervention steps required when performing pre-registration testing of fieldbus devices. The tool improves ITK schedule efficiency and provides a direct reduction in the person-hours needed to complete the testing phase. The SIF ITK is available with a maintenance agreement to keep the test suite software up to date with the latest enhancements.
The Foundation DD Library includes standard Device Description Language (DDL) code for SIF blocks. With this DD subscription service, device developers have access to a template DDL making it easier and less time-consuming to develop DDs to the Foundation fieldbus specification.

Etiquette of speaking to womenWhat is the etiquette of talking to women in general and in the following situations: buying and selling; teaching and learning; meetings to discuss work, such as explaining something specific to her? What is the ruling on lowering the gaze in these situations? When is it permissible to look at women in general? I hope that you can explain in full detail.
Praise be to Allaah.
Speaking to non-mahram women may occur because of a need or it may occur needlessly.
If it is done needlessly and only for fun and enjoyment, then there is no doubt that it is haraam and comes under the heading of the zina of the tongue and ears of which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) spoke when he said:
"The son of Adam's share of zina has been decreed for him, which he will inevitably get. The zina of the eyes is looking, the zina of the ears is listening, the zina of the tongue is speaking, the zina of the hands is touching, and the zina of the foot is walking. The heart longs and wishes, and the private part confirms that or denies it."
Narrated by Muslim, 2657.
When there is a need to speak to a woman, the basic principle is that it is permissible, but it is essential to pay attention to the following etiquette:
-1- The conversation should be limited to only what is necessary and has to do with the matter at hand, without talking too much or branching off into other topics. Think about the etiquette of the Sahaabah (may Allah be pleased with them) and compare it with the way things are today. The Mother of the Believers 'Aa'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated the story of the slander (al-ifk) that the hypocrites accused her of; in her hadeeth she (may Allah be pleased with her) said:
Safwaan ibn al-Mu'attal al-Sulami al-Dhakwaani was behind the army and had set out at the end of night. In the morning he reached the place where I was and he saw the shape of a person sleeping. He recognized me when he saw me, as he used to see me before the hijab was enjoined. I woke up when I heard him saying Inna Lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji'oon (Verily to Allaah we belong and verily unto Him is our return) when he recognized me, and I covered my face with my jilbab. By Allah, we did not exchange a word and I did not hear any word from him apart from his saying Inna Lillaahi… He made his camel kneel down and put his foot on its foreleg (to keep it steady), then I mounted it, and he set off, leading me on the mount, until we came to the army.
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 4141 and Muslim, 2770.
Al-'Iraaqi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: The phrase "and I did not hear any word from him" is not repeating the previous idea ("we did not exchange a word"). It is possible that he did not speak to her; rather he spoke to himself or he recited Qur'aan out loud or said dhikr out loud such that it could be heard. But none of that happened. He did not speak to her; rather he used silence in that situation out of good manners and politeness, and because of the seriousness of the situation in which he found himself.
This hadeeth also shows good manners with non-mahram women, especially in the case of being alone with them out of necessity in the wilderness or elsewhere, as Safwaan did when he made his camel kneel without speaking or asking questions. End quote.
Tarh at-Tathreeb, 8/53
-2- Avoiding joking and laughing; that is not part of etiquette and dignity.
-3- Avoiding staring and always trying hard to lower the gaze as much as possible; if there is a quick glance for the purpose of speaking, there is nothing wrong with that, in sha Allah.
-4- Not softening the voice, by either party, or choosing soft words; rather they should speak is the same, ordinary tone of voice as they would speak to anyone else. Allah, may He be exalted, says, addressing the Mothers of the Believers (interpretation of the meaning): "then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery, etc.) should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner" [al-Ahzaab 33:32].
-5- Avoiding the use of any words that may have some suggestive meanings, and so on.
-6- Not going to extremes in embellishing one's speech . Some people use their skills in communication with others by movements of the hand or face or by quoting poetry or proverbs or romantic phrases. This is a means that the Shaytaan uses to open the door to haraam attraction between the sexes.
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
None of the poets see anything wrong with talking to, addressing or looking at non-mahram women, but this is contrary to Islam and common sense, and it is exposing oneself to temptation. How many people have been affected in this way with regard to their religious commitment and worldly affairs. End quote. Rawdat al-Muhibbeen, p. 88

Re: Etiquette of speaking to womenSpeaking with a woman to whom one is not related (i.e., not mahram) should only be for a specific need, such as asking a question, buying or selling, asking about the head of the household, and so on. Such conversations should be brief, with nothing doubtful in either what is said or how it is said.
The idea of limiting speech with women to the five instances mentioned in the question – which are: to ask how her family is, for medical purposes, for financial purposes (e.g. in a shop), to find out about her personality for marriage suitability and to give her dawah (Islamic knowledge) – needs to be approached with caution, because they could be taken as examples instead of limits.
One must also adhere to the conditions set out by the Sharee'ah even in instances where such conversations are necessary, such as in da'wah, giving fatwas, buying or selling, etc. And Allaah knows best.
In the answer to question no. 1121 it says:
Women are not prevented from talking to non-mahram men when it is necessary to do so, such as dealing directly with them when buying things or conducting any other financial transaction, because in such cases it is necessary for both parties to speak. A woman may also ask a scholar about some legal Islamic matter, or a man may ask a woman such questions, as is proven in various texts of the Qur'aan and Sunnah. Within the guidelines described above, there is nothing wrong with a woman speaking to a non-mahram man. It is also permissible for men to greet women with salaam and vice versa, according to the most correct opinion, but this greeting must be free of anything that may provoke desire in the person in whose heart is a disease, so as to be safe from fitnah and pay attention to the regulations outlined above.
If there is fear of fitnah being provoked by this greeting, then the woman should refrain from either initiating or returning the greeting, because warding off fitnah by neglecting the greeting is warding off mischief, and warding off mischief takes precedence over doing something useful. (See al-Mufassal fi Ahkaam al-Mar'ah by 'Abd al-Kareem Zaydaan, vol. 3/276). And Allaah knows best.
Thus it is known that we do not mean general talk for no need, or a great deal of private talk. Rather it should be just as much as is needed in order to reply.
Going into detail in permissible talk or in shar'i matters when there is no need for that leads to removal of barriers between the two parties, which may lead to negative consequences.
And Allaah knows best.

Re: Etiquette of speaking to women
The conditions for speaking to a woman to whom one is not related are mentioned in the following aayaat (interpretation of the meaning):
". . . And when you ask (his wives) for anything you want, ask them from behind a screen; that is purer for your hearts and for their hearts . . ." [al-Ahzaab 33:53]
". . . then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner." [al-Ahzaab 33:32]
Ibn Katheer, may Allaah have mercy on him, said in his Tafseer: "This means that they should not speak softly. Allaah commanded them to speak in a concise and decisive manner (i.e., they should be serious and brief in their speech, and not be vague or talk aimlessly). There should be no possible indication on the face that could be taken to indicate any softness in the heart, as the Arab women (before Islaam) used to do when speaking to men, by making their voices soft like women who are taking care of small children, or like prostitutes. Allaah forbade women to do that.
The phrase "lest he in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire" means lest such a person should hope for immoral deeds, indecency or romance. "Speaking in an honourable manner" means speaking in a way that does not go against Sharee'ah or offend people. Women are encouraged when speaking to men to whom they are not related and to mahrams among their in-laws to be somewhat rough or abrupt in their speech, without raising the voice, because they are commanded to lower their voice.
Speaking with a woman to whom one is not related (i.e., not mahram) should only be for a specific need, such as asking a question, buying or selling, asking about the head of the household, and so on. Such conversations should be brief, with nothing doubtful in either what is said or how it is said.

Elevated Fetal Steroidogenic Activity in Autism
Molecular Psychiatry
Date Published:
June 3, 2014
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found that children who later develop autism are exposed to heightened levels of steroid hormones (such as testosterone, progesterone and cortisol) in the womb. This finding may be related to the fact that autism affects males more than females.

Goldener Hirsch & Adler
Although Native Americans traversed Snoqualmie Pass for thousands of years they generally favored other Trans Cascade mountain passes. Although there is no written record we can surmise they found it just too steep!
It wasn't until around the 1850's that explorers like Capt. George B. McClennan, Abiel Tinkham and Arthur A. Denny (founder of Seattle) became aware of the "Snoqualmie" route. McClennan was told Snoqualmie was "practicable on foot with the greatest difficulty."
Never the less, in 1858 a trail was blazed across the pass and in 1867 a road was completed that was, unfortunately, destroyed regularly by weather. In 1988 the Northern Pacific Railroad completed a railroad tunnel. The first automobile made it over in 1905.
Today Snoqualmie Pass is the primary East to West traffic route. As Interstate 90 it features from 4 to 6 lanes of traffic. Due to extensive construction in the early 80's the grades both East and West bound are moderate. In summer traffic travels at Interstate speed day and night. Generally the pass is readily accessible in winter but the area is know for sudden and very heavy snow falls that can slow and in some cases stop traffic.
The first ski resort on the pass was started in the 1950's at what is now called Summit West. The founder, Webb Moffet became a well know leader in the skiing industry eventually owning all four ski areas at Snoqualmie Pass.
Winter activity is busy at Snoqualmie Pass with thousands of skiers making the day trip to hit the slopes. The four areas feature the largest night skiing operation in the United States.
And sitting to the far west of the main pass area is the super steep ski mountain of Alpental Ski resort. Sitting just across the street from Alpental are two fashionable condominium buildings that look like they were plucked from the side of a hill in the Alps. Goldener Adler and Hirsh. Fabulous views, the best location and steaming hot outdoor pool.
In summer things are alive. There is world class hiking, mountain biking, fishing and more. Its a mountain wonderland just minutes away from the city.

Former Credit Union President Invests $1 Million in Speedway With Retired Driver
Posted 9/5/2011 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
The case of Joyce Judy, the former president of Arkansas Employees Federal Credit Union who pleaded guilty to bank fraud last month, is getting a little clearer. And a lot stranger.
To recap: On Aug. 2, without waiting to be indicted, Judy, 58, admitted in U.S. District Court that she had defrauded an AEFCU customer (and, ultimately, the credit union's bonding company) out of $500,000.
No reporters were present at the unannounced hearing, so for nearly a month, all that was made public about the case came from a press release issued after the plea by the U.S. Attorney's Office: Judy had agreed in the fall of 2009 to invest $1 million in a business venture, half of which she got by telling a customer that she was moving his money into a super-safe, tax-free, high-yield certificate of deposit.
She deposited her $500,000 and the customer's $500,000 into an account at another financial institution that was jointly held with another person involved in the investment opportunity. The money was subsequently wired out of the country without Judy's permission.
Although she tried to keep up appearances by paying the customer $26,000 in "interest" out of her own money, the fraud was discovered in April and Judy was promptly fired. The press release didn't identify the joint owner of the account, and Judy's lawyer, Erin Cassinelli of Little Rock, declined comment.
Then, weeks after Judy entered her plea, a transcript of the hearing was made available for viewing at the federal courthouse in Little Rock. So Whispers can now reveal that the person who pitched this ill-fated investment to Joyce Judy was a retired racecar driver from North Carolina named Bob Schacht.
We also learned that Judy didn't have anything like a million dollars, or even half a million, available to invest. To get her half of the money, she mortgaged her home in North Little Rock ($175,500, according to the public record), a houseboat and three cars at AEFCU and borrowed another $225,000 from "a personal friend."
And Schacht, Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Whatley told U.S. District Judge Leon Holmes, wired all the money from the joint account at Bank of America to an unspecified destination "overseas" to a person named Emelyn Moselyn, "who was putting the deal together." Ouch.
'Iowa Motor Speedway'
Schacht, 61, hasn't returned our repeated calls seeking comment. He had a modest career in both Nascar and Arca, the Automobile Racing Club of America. Since his retirement in 2000, he has been building cars for other teams at a plant in the center of the racecar universe, Morristown, N.C.
At Judy's plea hearing, Whatley said Judy and Schacht had been acquainted for "a few years" when he offered her "the opportunity to make an investment regarding the Iowa Motor Speedway."
This is an apparent reference to the Iowa Speedway at Newton, which really was for sale back in 2009. It was finally sold two months ago, and its current president, Jerry Jauron, told Whispers in an email that he had never heard of Schacht or Moselyn. "Iowa Speedway has no association with or knowledge of any of the subject matter in this alleged Arkansas legal issue," Jauron wrote.
But Brad Manatt, whose family previously owned the majority interest in the Iowa Speedway, knows a bit more than that. He told Whispers that Schacht was, in fact, trying to put together financing to buy the speedway a couple of years back. And Manatt, who is CEO of a highway construction contractor called Manatts Inc. of Brooklyn, Iowa, said he had heard that Schacht was working on the deal with the president of a bank in Little Rock, and he thought maybe Schacht and this banker had met on a plane.
But the deal sounded squirrelly, Manatt said, because the Manatts - the sellers - were supposed to put in $1 million in order to help secure financing, and then everyone was supposed to get back at least double their money. It was one of at least four similar schemes that were pitched to the Manatt family during the three years they searched for a buyer for the speedway, he said.
'A Straight Deal'
Another person involved in the deal, Manatt said, was businessman Larry Clement of Fort Dodge, Iowa, whose brothers Stan and Conrad eventually bought Iowa Speedway.
Larry Clement confirmed to Whispers that he had been in contact with Bob Schacht about possibly buying the speedway - and that the president of a great big credit union in Little Rock was supposedly involved in the financing.
Clement was surprised to learn that Judy was actually president of a little bitty credit union (less than $40 million in assets). And the fact that she is likely to spend three or four years in federal prison as a result of her involvement in this investment opportunity was news to him. The name Emelyn Moselyn was completely unfamiliar, he said. (In fact, no one by that name even shows up in a Google search.)
But one thing Clement was certain about: Schacht is not a bad guy in this story.
"If Bob Schacht did something with this Emelyn person, he thought it was a straight deal," Clement said last week. "There isn't one-tenth of a chance that Bob did anything wrong. He may have got scammed by whoever he was working with."
Maybe we'll learn more when Joyce Judy is sentenced, which is likely several months hence.

I figure since I've been left with absolutely nothing on the world wide intarweb, I might as well publish some sort of a journal. However, I must proclaim that yes, Blurty sucks unusually large amounts of lint of the intellectual testicles of online journals, but then again, all of you greedy LiveJournal and DeadJournal fucks refuse to give me your fucking "codes". Which is ridiculous, because it's really just a sham by the websites' servers to save bandwith. At least Blurty can support its own server.
I'm also aware that developing this journal goes against everything I've said in the past, but I've come to the point where I really don't care. I can assure you, however, that this very journal will not be horribly "OMG ANGST DEPRESSION GOTH TEEN POETRY HAIKU UP MY DARKENED ASSHOLE BLEED MY VEINS UNTIL YOUR LOVE CONQUERS ALL". If it does, chances are I will commit seppuku. If you don't know what seppuku means:
Also, I am very well aware that there is a widely expected 70% chance that Blurty will delete this journal after a month or so.
So check back soon. Or I will fork out your eyes and launch them at your children with a potato gun.

Mira NygusTalk8
this wiki
|Mira Nygus

|Appears In
|Current Occupation

|Hair Color
Medical Expert, Trapper, Exper Espionage Agent, Skilled Combatant
|List of Appearances
Mira Nygus (ミーラ=ナイグス, Mīra Naigusu), the "Demon Knife" (魔ナイフ, Manaifu), is Sid Barett's partner and the assistant of Dr. Franken Stein, after replacing Medusa as the DWMA's interim nurse.
Mira is almost always covered in bandages looking somewhat like a mummy. She has dark skin, a tattoo on her upper shoulder, blue eyes, and wears her hair in dreadlocks which may be a reference to both Egyptian mummies found with dreadlocks as well as the rastafari movement early on referred to as the "Young Black Faith".
When on a mission, Nygus still stays true to her mummy theme with a few changes: She wears green military pants and a white top. In her earlier appearances, the top is omitted and instead has several bandages covering her upper body. She is later seen with a military style jacket.
Mira's personality appears to be matter-of-fact, not allowing personal feelings to cloud her judgment and not being afraid to tell people the truth. She was certainly not afraid to remind Black Star that he is only human, despite his obvious hatred towards comments that compare him to anything but a God and remarked that he is walking the path of a Kishin. She also questioned Marie's actions on going with Stein, stating that she won't find happiness with Stein and that he is always alone.
Mira also seems to be somewhat cold. When Black Star was kicked in the testicles by Patti, he stated, while in pain, that it was unfair. Mira ignored his plea, stating that it was his fault that he turned his back to his opponent even after the match had begun.
Despite this, Mira has shown kindness. Mira, along with Sid and Spirit, let Stein go free instead of arresting him. When Mifune and Black Star were fighting for the final time, Mira wanted to intervene for Black Star's sake when Sid argued he had to deal with the fight on his own. She also previously showed concern for the boy using the demon blade mode when it was believed it would kill him.
- Sid
- Mira is partnered with Sid and plays the role of Sid's weapon. Seeing as how Sid was classified as a knife meister before Nygus' introduction, it can be thought that the two may have known each well before they were actually seen together. When seen together, though, they show tactic respect towards each other as well as work well together.
Demon Weapon Form: Combat Knife: Mira's weapon form is a combat knife, including a sheath, as can be seen in the anime where the Kishin eggs are drawn into the sheath.
Expert Trapper: She skilled in the art of setting elaborate traps in short periods of time.
Medical Expert: She is seen working as a Nurse at DWMA. Shes also seen aiding injured comrades in battle.
Skilled Combatant: It can also be concluded that Nygus is an athletic person. She supervised the sprints of the students and was seen supervising the sparring matches between Patti and the other students of the academy. Also, Seeing as she supervises sparring matches, she's most likely skilled at unarmed combat. How much is unknown.
Expert Espionage Agent: She often accompanies Sid on missions that involve stealth and infiltration.
- It seems that Sid and his weapon, Mira Nygus, use an "Undead" theme in the series, with Sid being a zombie and Mira covered in bandages as a mummy. Their attacks match the theme too, as does his ability to use his tombstone as a weapon.
- Mira's last name is a pun on how the word 'knives' is pronounced.
- Mira appears to take the form of Sid's gravestone when she resonates with him.

Beauty Products: How Much Do You Really Need?
If you tend to tear through creams, lotions, and serums, you're probably using too much.
By Andrea Cheng
Wax or Pomade
Amount estimate: The size of a sunflower seed
With these sticky substances, less is more. Wax and pomade both have tacky consistencies with strong holds, so a little goes a long way. "Start with less, and if it's not doing its job, then dab on more," advises Rago. "Don't be afraid of the product." Keep in mind that wax and pomade are pliable, so once you're happy with your hair, don't fuss with it. The same concept applies to gels, which are more liquid in nature. Because they also tend to be typically weaker, you can add a smidge more, but that's it — unless you're going for a crunchy, shellac look.

Published On: Feb 01 2013 11:44:02 AM EST Updated On: Feb 01 2013 12:10:31 PM EST
A 6-year-old girl who tearfully explained to her mother why she couldn't marry Houston Texas defense star JJ Watt agreed to be the pretend wife of the man of her dreams.
"I wish I was 25," 6-year-old Breanna said in the video posted to YouTube.
Her mother asks her why. She tearfully answers, "I want to marry J.J. Watt."
Watt later asked his Twitter followers to help him find Breanna.
Two days later, he did.
"Thanks to your help, we found 6-year-old Breanna and she said yes to being my pretend wife for the day," Watt tweeted Wednesday.
Congratulations to Watt and Breanna, even if it's only for the day.

Longwei Petroleum Retains Weitian Group For Investor Relations
TAIYUAN CITY, China, Nov. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Ltd. (NYSE MKT: LPH) ("Longwei" or the "Company"), an energy company engaged in the storage and distribution of finished petroleum products in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), today announced that it has retained the Weitian Group LLC ("Weitian") for investor relations and corporate communications to augment its current services with RedChip Companies and to expand its outreach with institutional investors and analysts.
Weitian is uniquely positioned based on its knowledge of the U.S. capital markets and Chinese corporate culture. Weitian has bilingual professionals to provide around-the-clock investor relations services to clients and investors with its offices in New York and Beijing. Weitian's founder, Tony Tian, CFA, was formerly an Executive Director and Senior Research Analyst covering China Industrials at Oppenheimer & Co. Prior to joining Oppenheimer, Mr. Tian was a Vice President and Senior Research Analyst at Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. and spearheaded the company's China equity research effort.
"We are pleased to work with Tony and his team at Weitian," said Cai Yongjun, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Longwei. "We have added Weitian as a resource to reach out to institutional investors and analysts as we try to raise our profile in the public marketplace."
Longwei has filed its Definitive Proxy Statement, Schedule 14A, with the SEC for its annual shareholder meeting, which will be held on Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. local time at the Company's offices, located at No. 30 Dajingyu Street, Xiaojingyu Xiang, Wan Bailin District, Taiyuan City 030024. Longwei separately plans to host an "investor and analyst day" next quarter to invite shareholders and interested parties to tour its facilities. The Company has received strong interest from institutional and private investors in visiting its facilities, including the new Huajie facility. Once plans are finalized, the Company will release additional details.Longwei recently announced its product revenue increased 32.8% to $53.1 million for the month ended October 31, 2012, compared to $40.0 million for the month ended October 31, 2011. Longwei's product sales volume increased 20.2% year-over-year to 41,811.4 metric tons ("mt"), compared to 34,780.0mt for the month ended October 31, 2011. The increase in revenues was primarily attributable to the increase in the average sales price of petroleum and the volume growth of the new Huajie facility, which contributed $9.2 million in product revenues during its first month in operation. Bloomberg News ( November 27, 2012) reported that profits at PRC industrial companies jumped 20.5% year-over-year in October to RMB 500B (US $80.4B), with growth accelerating from a 7.8% rise in September and providing further evidence that the economy is rebounding. "The improved industrial profitability further confirms that the Chinese economy is stabilizing and gaining growth momentum," said Ding Shuang, senior economist for the PRC at Citigroup Inc. in Hong Kong, who previously worked at the country's central bank. Citigroup raised its 2013 GDP growth forecast for China to 7.8 percent from a previous estimate of 7.6 percent, according to a research report released November 26, 2012. Longwei expects year-over-year revenue growth of approximately 26.6% to $646.3 million, and net income growth of approximately 24.2% to $77.6 million, adjusted for the warrant derivative liability, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. This growth rate does not account for any external financing for inventory, which could accelerate growth. The growth is driven primarily by the ramp-up of the Huajie facility and organic growth at the Company's two existing facilities. Longwei recently reported revenues of US $133.4 million and non-GAAP net income of $18.3 million or $0.18 per share, adjusted for the non-cash warrant derivative liability charge, for the first fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012. The Company's product sales volume increased 17.8% year-over-year to 110,587 metric tons during the quarter. As of September 30, 2012, the Company reported total assets of US $360.0 million and book value per share of $3.47. About Longwei Petroleum Investment Holding Limited

NYC Democratic Mayoral Primary
Looking at the top five candidates for NYC Mayor, who will you vote for - and why?
Bill de Blasio won the endorsement of The Nation
- Bob FertikWant to meet our members? Click 'Join' above!
There is a lot to like, from proposals on education and homelessness to public safety - but among the ideas that we found most persuasive is his unusually diverse economic development strategy, which embraces not only job creation but also enhanced labor protections and long-overdue investments in New York's once-great public universities.
De Blasio was a major force behind living-wage and paid-sick-leave legislation - indeed, he fought for much stronger bills than those ultimately passed by the City Council - and his platform contains additional policies to increase wages for the city's working poor. He is also steadfastly pro-union, which is both a welcome change and a crucial one after twelve years of an administration so hostile to labor that all 152 of the city's public unions are without contracts. And in an effort to stanch New York's affordable-housing crisis, he has put forward an ambitious plan to build or preserve nearly 200,000 affordable-housing units over the coming decade, while pledging to remove wasteful tax breaks for real estate developers.
Perhaps most unexpected is the centerpiece of de Blasio's platform: a city income-tax surcharge on New Yorkers earning over $500,000 a year to provide truly universal, full-day pre-kindergarten to every child in New York City - a game-changing investment in the next generation of New Yorkers. The revenue from this surcharge would also fund after-school academics, athletics and cultural programming for every middle-schooler. It is notable that de Blasio made this tax proposal in the belly of the beast, at a meeting of the city's corporate leaders.

Because many people read letters-to-the-editor (LTEs) in their local newspaper, they are a quick, effective and continuing means of spreading our message of intolerance for domestic violence to a wide audience.
Decision-makers often read letters to the editor to get a sense of their constituencies' concerns.
You can add your voice in our efforts to protect lives and safety of victims of domestic violence and their children by writing a letter to the editor by following these three steps. The last step will help us track our progress.
Step One. Click on the newspaper from the list below that you would like to write to. Don't see your newspaper listed? That's okay! If you know where to send a letter to your newspaper, all the better.
Step Two. Things to think about when writing your letter:
In 2010, we saw more Rhode Islanders than ever before recorded lose their lives to domestic violence. Any death due to family violence represents a failure of our legal system to hold abusers accountable, and a failure to keep victims and families safe.
In addition to the heartbreaking number of homicides, the RICADV has also seen record high numbers of clients approaching our agencies for shelter, counseling, court advocacy and other services.
The report, Safety for Children, found that staggering numbers of victims and children continued to experience physical, verbal and emotional abuse within the custody arrangement or during visitation.
We must do better in Rhode Island to protect lives from the dangers of domestic violence, to keep victims and children safe, and to hold batterers accountable.

Opposition pans Ma's 'one ROC, 2 areas'
By Enru Lin,The China Post
May 22, 2012, 12:17 am TWN
The China Post--Opposition legislators yesterday panned President Ma Ying-jeou's "one Republic of China, two areas" statement in his inaugural address.
Amid recent domestic tension over the "one country, two areas" cross-strait formula, Ma stressed on Sunday that "the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have been defined as "one Republic of China, two areas" throughout the administrations of the past three presidents.
"When we speak of 'one China,' naturally it is the 'Republic of China,'" he said.
At the Legislative Yuan yesterday, Minister Lai Shin-Yuan Lai (賴幸媛) of the Mainland Affairs Council (陸委會) fielded criticism of Ma's address by pan-green legislators.
Huang Wen-ling (黃文玲) of the Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU, 台聯) asked Lai if mainland Chinese officials have responded unfavorably to "One R.O.C., two areas" formulation.
Lai said there were no reports so far of unfavorable Chinese reception.
"Usually there's a huge fuss from China. Or have you negotiated with them behind closed doors?" asked Huang.
Lai sharply denied the claim.
"This is our nation's inaugural address — why would we have to negotiate with mainland China?" she said.
At the podium, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Legislator Lee Chun-yi (李俊俋) said that a verbal switch to "One R.O.C., two areas" is mere wordplay.
"Ma uses a lot of words," said Lee. "But what has mainland China accepted? Who in the international community accepts that China is the R.O.C.?
"He is playing a game of words that means nothing for Taiwan's development," he said.
When given opportunity to respond, Lai told legislators that cross-strait relations will progress stably in Ma's second term, under a framework extending from his first term.
Interactions with mainland China will be "social and economic" and stay" respectful of public opinion," she said.
But Taiwan will defend its sovereignty, in such cases as the current standoff in the South China Sea region.

Ma Ying-Jeou's use of words is ridiculously unbearable and down right stupid. He talks and talks and talks but does other things... I think he just wants people to pay attention to something odd he said and not pay any attention to what he's actually doing.

Istanbul 2012 – Turkish Anklebiters
The host team of the chess Olympiad is traditionally allowed to field a couple of extra teams (originally this was aimed to prevent a bye in case of an odd number of teams, but these days it's a more general right). For instance, in 2010, hosts Russia fielded a phenomenal second team that was seeded fourth with an average rating of 2702 (!), and a third team with an average of 2616. That's right, the average of Russia's third team was still higher than Australia's strongest player.
But this year, Turkey's taken a different track, and one that's sure to raise a few eyebrows. Their first team is, predictably, the strongest on paper (bar the usual disagreement with Grandmaster Atalik). But their second, nicknamed "Turkey 2016″, consists of five talented boys with an average age under 16. The concept is, of course, talent-development in anticipation of future success a few Olympiads from now.
But the biggest surprise is the third team, nicknamed "Turkey 2023″in honour of the upcoming national centenary, with an average age of… 8.2
Yes, eight-point-two.
(Pictures of the young whippersnappers and a full report from Lizzie Paehtz can be found here:http://chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=8260)
The same approach has been taken in the women's division as welll, with average ages of 16 and 10 for the second and third teams, respectively.
No doubt this move will find some critics, with arguments of degreding the event, disrespecting countries who travel to the Olympiad and end up playing the kids, as well as taking away places from other Turkish players who could perhaps claim to have earned a spot. And these are fair criticisms.
But overall, I don't mind the plan. Despite my previous post, in general I think the Turkish chess federation has done a fantastic job promoting national and particularly junior chess over the past decade. They've done from a non-starter to a genuine chess country on the world map, with particular long-sighted focus. They've previously made some brave moves, including offering large sums of money to "the next Turkish GM", etc, but these moves have paid off. I'm also impressed by how they've evenly shared their focus towards both men's and women's chess. This latest move is similarly brave, but it's the sign of a federation prepared to take a few risks to pursue its chess goals. Not bad.
If we were hosting the Olympiad (not that I think I'll see it in my lifetime), I'd hope we'd do the same. Perhaps not with eight year olds, but a second "youth" team would be something to be proud of, and would provide our kiddies with some invaluable international experience that we Australians naturally lack.
I'd pick something like:
- Bobby Cheng
- Anton Smirnov
- Yi Liu
- Justin Tan
- Emma Guo
Average age: 13.6. Average rating: Over 2200.
It'd be a team to be proud of, a team that wouldn't embarrass itself, and a team that reflects well the future of Australian chess.
Good on you, Turkey!

Just a tasteless joke. The children will get hurt rather than gain experience.

I guess these kids have a considerable chess playing strength since all kids in Turkey are taught chess these days. They can hold up with the weaker teams and since the chess olympiad drawings are not following a real Swiss system nobody can complain. The kids themselves? I am sure they will be happy and gain some points!

Turkey 2016 is an indulgence but Turkey 2023 is deeply insulting to the rest of the chess world

I doubt that the children will benefit from being crushed in every game. It will be traumatic.
