What is the Difference Between a Chipper and a Chipper / Shredder?
If you've been shopping around for a way to deal with fallen limbs, brush piles, garden waste, and things of that sort on your property, you've probably seen both Wood Chippers and Chipper/Shredders. "What's the difference?" you may be wondering. Well, we know our machines here at DR, and we want you to know them as well. So here it is:
At a very basic, visual level, you'll notice that the DR Chippers have one hopper and a top discharge chute. The DR Chipper/Shredders, on the other hand, have two hoppers and discharge at the bottom. The chipper's hopper is designed for limbs and branches, while the chipper/shredder has one smaller hopper for branches, and a larger hopper for "shreddable" materials, such as garden waste and leaves. Now you might be thinking, "Why would I get a machine that does one thing when I could get a machine that does two things?" The answer is that it's not that simple, and you really have to learn about each machine and evaluate what kind of materials you want to get rid of in order to make the best decision for you.
DR Rapid-Feed Chippers
The DR Chipper has a heavy steel flywheel - as heavy as 76.5 lbs. on the biggest models - with an mounted chipping knife that takes "bites" out of wood branches as they are fed into the hopper. These machines are basically self-feeding. The vertical hopper lets gravity help feed branches in, then the precisely-angled chipper knife helps pull them in even more. Finally, the air-intake vents on the back of the chipper create a vacuum, sucking in materials. The result is that it will self-feed most materials, making less work for you. DR Chippers are also incredibly efficient because of the weight of the flywheel. As the flywheel gains momentum, it relies less and less on the engine to make it spin, using less fuel and getting great results.
DR Chipper/Shredders
The DR Chipper/Shredders have both a chipping mechanism and a shredding mechanism powered by the same engine. The larger Chipper/Shredder models have a flywheel similar to the Chippers, but not as large (up to 33 lbs.), while the smaller Premier Chipper/Shredder has a chipping knife mounted directly to the shredding rotor. Because the flywheels are not as hefty as in the dedicated Chippers, Chipper/Shredders rely more on their engines to chip, and less on the momentum of the flywheel. Because of this, they are not as efficient as the Chippers. Also, they do not have the self-feeding features. While they still chip like champs, if chipping is your main priority, we'd recommend choosing a dedicated Chipper over a Chipper/Shredder.
All the Chipper/Shredders have a rotor mechanism as well, like the one at left (that's the biggest one, the 48-hammer Pro-XL version). The shredding rotor mashes and pulverizes shreddable materials such as weeds, garden cuttings, grass clippings, leaves, and other flexible stuff. It does this fantastically, sucking materials in quickly and leaving you with small, easily-compostable material.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that Chippers are better at chipping, and Chipper/Shredders are better at shredding but also chip. So, the one that's best for you really depends on what you'll be putting through your machine. If you mostly have limbs over 2-1/2" thick to chip, we'd say focus on the DR Chippers. If you have more weeds, leaves, and garden refuse, and just a few twigs and small limbs here and there, focus more on the DR Chipper/Shredders.

Vale SA (VALE5), the world's second-largest mining company, said first-quarter iron-ore production dropped 2.2 percent after heavy rains curtailed operations in Brazil.
Vale produced 70 million metric tons in the three months through March, compared with about 71.5 million metric tons during the same period a year ago, the Rio de Janeiro-based company said in a statement yesterday. Nickel production increased 7.5 percent to 63,000 metric tons, while copper output grew 4.5 percent to 73,000 metric tons, Vale said.
"The summer season in the Southern Hemisphere was extremely rainy, hitting Brazilian mining districts such as the iron quadrangle in the southeast and Carajas in the north of the country, where our iron ore operations are concentrated," the company said in the statement.
Vale, the biggest producer of iron ore ahead of Rio Tinto Group and BHP Billiton Ltd., said Jan. 11 that it will lose 2 million metric tons of output, about 20 percent of its January production in southern Brazil, because of the rain. The downpours were the largest since at least 1910, Jose Carlos Martins, the company's head of ferrous and strategy, said at the time.
Vale rose 2 percent to 42.05 reais in Sao Paulo yesterday. Both Rio Tinto and BHP, which mine almost all their iron ore in Australia, reported increases in iron ore output in the quarter. The Brazilian company is scheduled to release its first-quarter results on April 25.
Separately, Vale said yesterday that it estimates claims in a royalty dispute with the Brazilian government total about 5.64 billion reais ($3.02 billion) as of Dec. 31, including possible fines and interest payments, according to a 20-F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company estimated the claim at 7.88 billion reais as of Dec. 31, 2010, according to a previous 20-F filing.

Nicolaus Reimers
Nicolaus Reimers Baer (2 February 1551 – 16 October 1600), also Reimarus Ursus, Nicolaus Reimers Bär or Nicolaus Reymers Baer was an astronomer and imperial mathematician to Emperor Rudolf II. Due to his family's background, he was also known as Bär, Latinized to Ursus ("bear").
Reimers was born at Hennstedt and received hardly any education in his youth, herding pigs until the age of 18. Yet, Heinrich Rantzau discovered his talents and employed him from 1574 to 1584 as geometer. Accordingly, Reimers in 1583 published his Geodaesia Ranzoviana. Rantzau also arranged a meeting with Tycho Brahe.
From 1586 to 1587, Reimers stayed at the court of William IV, Landgrave of Hesse-Kassel in Kassel, where he met Swiss instrument maker Jost Bürgi (1552-1632). Both were autodidacts and thus had a similar background. As Bürgi did not understand Latin, Reimers translated Copernicus' De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium into German for Bürgi. A copy of the translation survived in Graz, it is thus called "Grazer Handschrift".[1][2][3]
Reimers was a bitter rival of Tycho Brahe (his successor as imperial mathematician) after he tried to claim the Tychonic system, which is also attributed to Paul Wittich, as his own.
Johannes Kepler committed a faux pas early in his career by sending a laudatory letter to Reimers while seeking the patronage of Tycho; Ursus published the letter in the preface to his work claiming priority for Tycho's cosmological ideas.[4]
But unlike Tycho's geoheliocentric system in which the Earth does not rotate and the Martian and Solar orbits intersect, in that of Ursus and his follower Roslin the Earth had a daily rotation and also the Martian and Solar orbits do not intersect, thus avoiding the Tychonic conclusion in respect of the Martian orbit that there are no solid celestial spheres on the ground that they cannot possibly interpenetrate.[5] But on the other hand the orbits of Mercury and Venus would obviously intersect the Martian orbit in Reimers' illustration of his model, and indeed also intersect Jupiter's orbit.
However Kepler discovered Tycho had posited intersecting Martian and Solar orbits because he had mistakenly concluded from his data that at opposition Mars was closer to the Earth than the Sun was. The source of the error was a research assistants' mistaken calculation of Mars's daily parallax from observations during its 1582-3 opposition as greater than that of the Sun's presumed 3' parallax.[6] Kepler discovered Tycho's observations revealed little or no Martian parallax, implying it was further than the Sun at opposition. This would have refuted Tycho's system in favour of Ursus's and Roslin's. It seems it has yet to be determined whether the dominant astronomical system of the 17th century was the geoheliocentric system of Tycho or that of Ursus and Roslin at least in respect of non-intersecting Solar and Martian orbits, and also in that of the Earth's rotation or not.
Reimers died in Prague.

Blood alcohol reports shows Travis drunk
SHERMAN (AP) — Blood alcohol results show country star Randy Travis was legally drunk when he was arrested naked following a 2012 North Texas traffic accident.
Grayson County District Attorney Joe Brown says Travis was formally charged Wednesday with driving while intoxicated with a blood alcohol level greater than 0.15. The legal limit for Texas driving is 0.08. The Class A misdemeanor is punishable by up to two years in jail and a $4,000 fine.
Travis was arrested on a DWI charge and freed on bond following the Aug. 7 single-vehicle accident near Tioga, near where the singer lives, about 60 miles north of Dallas. Brown says negotiations continue to resolve the case. Travis still faces a retaliation charge for allegedly threatening officers.
An attorney for Travis did not immediately return messages Friday.

Gift Idea: Grilling Spice Blends
For Father's Day this year, I made grilling spice blends for both of our dads. This was an easy and fun gift to make, and I had all the materials/ingredients on hand!
Grill seasonings make great gifts for anyone you know who likes to cook and/or grill. It would be a great hostess gift for a summer BBQ, or you could even make these for Christmas gifts (the men in our lives love to grill year-round!).
I found recipes for three spice blends I wanted to make, then I mixed them up, put them in baby food jars (which I painted the tops of with chalkboard paint), and labeled them with fun new names. I made these blends: Kickin' Chicken, Ragin' Cajun, and Cuckoo for Cocoa (recipes below). I packaged them all in a little paper bag tied up with baker's twine (and of course, a card made with my letterpress).
We hope our dads enjoy grilling with these spice blends!
Here are the recipes:
Kickin' Chicken (a spicy rub for chicken)
2 Tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. dill weed
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Store in an airtight container.
Brush chicken pieces with olive oil. Season liberally with rub. Rub in gently. Cook over a hot grill.
Ragin' Cajun (for fish, chicken, ribs, chicken, & pork chops)
3 Tbsp. paprika
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. onion powder
2 Tbsp. ground dried thyme
2 tsp. ground black pepper
2 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tsp. dried basil
2 tsp. dried oregano
Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Store in an airtight container.
Rub liberally into meat. Let stand 10 minutes. Grill as desired.
Cuckoo for Cocoa (for chicken, steaks, chops, ribs, & roasts)
2 Tbsp. sea salt
1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 Tbsp. white sugar
1 Tbsp. dark brown sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp. garlic powder
1/2 Tbsp. onion powder
1 1/2 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. ground black pepper
Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Store in an airtight container.
Rub 2-3 teaspoons into each serving of meat. Let stand at least 10 minutes before grilling.

- Conference date: 28–2 November 2007
- Location: St. Pete Beach (Florida)
We present the results of a complete spectral survey of the X‐ray point sources detected in five XMM‐Newton observations along the major axis of M31 but avoiding the central bulge, aimed at establishing the population characteristics of X‐ray sources in this galaxy. We obtained background subtracted spectra and lightcurves for each of the 335 X‐ray point sources detected across the five observations from 2002. We also correlate our source list with those of earlier X‐ray surveys and radio, optical and infra‐red catalogues. Sources with more than 50 source counts are individually spectrally fit in order to create the most accurate luminosity functions of M31 to date. Based on the spectral fitting of these sources with a power law model, we observe a broad range of best fit photon index. From this distribution of best fit index, we present the first evidence for high mass X‐ray binary systems in M31. We show the first cumulative luminosity functions created using the best fit spectral model to each source with more than 50 source counts in the disc of M31. The cumulative luminosity functions show a prominent, statistically significant flattening in the interval Such a feature may also be present in the X‐ray populations of several other galaxies, but at a much lower statistical significance.

10 Construction Projects That Just Wouldn't End
Construction projects worldwide are notorious for their endless delays and under-budgeting. Whether they've been infinitely abandoned or are seemingly ongoing, here are 10 infamous projects that, at one time or another, bit off more than they could chew.
By Laura Kiniry
Second Avenue Subway; New York
New York City's Second Avenue Subway has been a bane in Gotham's side since 1929, when the idea for a rapid-transit line beneath Second Avenue first came to fruition. Often referred to as the line that time forgot, it has incurred a series of starts and stopsmostly due to low funds and construction issues, such as the delayed delivery of a tunnel-boring machinefor nearly a century. If ever completed, the Second Avenue Subway will run 8.5 miles from 125th Street in Harlem south to Hanover Square in New York's Financial District. Today, construction is proceeding, but only a two-mile stretch and three subway stations are complete and scheduled to open in December 2016. Funding for the remainder of the more than $17 billion project is yet to be approved.

Unlike Edith Piaf, the French singer-songwriter whose nickname was Little Sparrow and whose most famous songs included Non, je ne regrette rien, Ive always been inordinately full of regrets. This was a habit of mind that started youngwhen I decided not to go to sleepaway camp one summer and then spent the next two months being bored and resentful, wishing I had taken the opportunity presented meand has stayed with me right through the present. The might-have-dones and should-have-dones always weigh more heavily on me than the decisions Ive actually made. I am convinced, in fact, that I am not living the life I was meant to live. In one alternate narrative, Ive remained married to my ex-husband, whose quirks and foibles Ive come to terms with and whose virtues I appreciate more, with the result that weve become each others boon companions. In yet another of these fantasized scenarios, I have embraced academia rather than fled from it after two years of graduate school and have gone on to become an esteemed professor of English literature specializing in the Bloomsbury group, spending my days rereading Virginia Woolf. The point of these parallel lives isnt so much their feasibility, of coursehad I been able to do other than I did, I probably would haveas their hovering presence, suggesting the roads not taken and where they might have led.
I have been thinking about this tendency of mine, what it says about me, and how I might ironize it rather than agonize over it, ever since reading Adam Phillips new book, Missing Out: In Praise of the Unlived Life. Phillips is a British psychoanalyst, a kind of post-Freudian Freudian who specializes in taking conventional views of ourselves and the world we live in and turning them upside down, something he has done to great effect in books such as On Kissing, Tickling, and Being Bored, The Beast in the Nursery, and Going Sane. Phillips stylepithy verging on the epigrammatic, erudite, and always cordialsets him apart from other shrinks who write and, indeed, from most writers. He is spectacularly well read, given to quoting Stanley Cavell and John Ashbery along with Melanie Klein and Jacques Lacan, and is enamored of paradox; the effect is of stepping into a heady, open-ended conversation about everything from the nature of childhood discontent to what constitutes madness. At their best, Phillips ruminations can be read as a form of recondite self-help for people who disdain the chicken-soup banalities of the genre itself; at their worst, they can become self-indulgently fanciful, as if one were listening in on a dazzling but ultimately impenetrable interior monologue.
Phillips contends that the idea of the unlived lifeor, as he also calls it, the myth of our potentialis more prevalent now than it once was, because affluence has allowed more people than ever before to think of their lives in terms of choices and options . Our lives become an elegy to needs unmet and desires sacrificed . This abiding sense of a double lifewhich most of us, I think, will instinctively recognize as truecan work in two ways: It can haunt us with its reminder of a perpetual falling-short, thereby filling us with loss and rage, or it can make us inquire more deeply into the pleasures available in the lives we do manage to create, filled though they are with frustration and compromised desires.
One of my sharpest feelings of regret involves a vision of myself as Marmee in Little Womena materfamilias with a brood of children, all happily swarming around merather than what I have turned out to be: the mother of an only daughter who loves me one minute and despises me the next. To this day, although my daughter is 23 and I am no longer of procreative age, I suffer from acute pangs of baby-hunger. Ive always been fascinated by babies and very small children, and as a young woman I was a devoted aunt to my nieces and nephews, happily giving up Saturday nights to babysit, even when it created ripples in my romantic relationships of the moment. (I remember dragging an unwilling boyfriend with me on one of these evenings, which he spent staring balefully at my nephew Noahs toddler antics, refusing to be charmed.) I fully expected to follow in my sisters fecund footsteps but hadnt counted on the vagaries of either my own temperament, which plunged me into postpartum depression after my daughter was born, or my life circumstances, which led to a separation from my husband when our daughter was four and an eventual divorce. A second (unplanned) pregnancy in my early forties ended in a miscarriage, and I debated the pros and cons of adopting a child as a single mother without ever taking a decisive step. All the while, my baby-yearning has lingered, manifesting itself in a variety of ways small and large. These range from an ongoing feeling of nostalgia for my daughters early years and a pained sense that I hadnt fully appreciated them, hadnt been sufficiently alert to every gurgle and adorable bit of phrasing, to a feeling of wistfulness that still overcomes me whenever I pass mothers with young children on the street. Recently, a cousin who is my age adopted an infant girl after putting in years of effort, and when I went over to visit the new arrival, I felt love-struck all over again. Actually, Id been smitten even before I met baby Rachel, when I picked out some winsome clothes for her in one of the many childrens stores that have cropped up on New York Citys Upper East Side, and I was put in mind of all that goes into new-babyness: the clean cottons, the sweet smell, the softness of their skulls.

Harley-Davidson 105th anniversary edition Fender Stratocaster guitar auctioned for charity
You can hear the "potato-potato-potato" roar of Harley-Davidson motorcycles all over Milwaukee this weekend, coming here from all over the world to visit the company's hometown and its huge celebration of the
115th 105th anniversary of the fabled big bikes.
To commemorate the occasion, the Fender Custom Shop created three special edition Stratocaster guitars, each festooned with motorcycle-style trim and assembled with socket-head allen screws just like on Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
The three axes will be auctioned off to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), with bids starting at $7500, and the auction ends September 4th. Sounds like a good cause, and hey, you rich collectors can get a unique and beautiful git-box out of the deal. Fender Guitars? Motorcycles? Charity for kids? That gets our motor running.

2014 Summer Reading List from VLHamlinDesign
I love books. I mean, really love them. I might even be the world's most insatiable reader. I read everything I can get my hands on…fiction, alternative medicine, business, how-to, education, street signs, the back of condiment bottles on the table in restaurants.
If it has words on it…I'm reading it. I was born a reader.
As with most things, I'm usually pretty random about what books I choose to read. You know that old saying,
Don't judge a book by it's cover…
That's really a bunch of bologna.
Everyone judges a book by its cover, at first.
How could you not?
There are only 3 ways to judge a book before you read it…the cover, the title and the summary. While the title and the summary might help you choose your book, after you've read them, the cover is what truly draws you in. You don't walk into a book store or the library and have words jump out at you.
It's the cover that jumps out and screams…take me home, you know you want to!
Or does that only happens to me?
I thought it happened to everyone. Maybe not. I guess that explains why I'm so indiscriminate in my reading choices.
As you might have guessed, I've never created a reading list for myself in the past. I usually just pick up a book that looks good and start reading. But, this year, there are a lot of books I've come across that I just didn't want to spend the money on or I didn't have time to read. Lucky for me, I've finally figured out the library download app on my NOOK and now, I can read all those books for free, whenever I want. I'm going to really try to finish reading them by the end of summer. We'll see…
In order to keep track of all the books I want to read, I created the list below and then, I got thinking…maybe, you'd like to check out my reading list. Or maybe, you have some ideas for me? It's always nice to compare. Send me an email or comment below if you have any book ideas for me.
Check out my list below and use the freebie to jot down the books you want to read.
**Please Note: This post contains Amazon affiliate links. That means I might make a few pennies if you purchase one of the books from the links below. If you'd like to learn more about how this works, please visit my full disclosure page.
There's been some big changes in my life recently and there are many more to come in the next few months. I need to learn to relax, follow my to do list and make sure I get those important things done every day…Hopefully, the To Do List Makeover by S.J. Scott will share with me the hidden secrets to making that happen.
I mean, really…who doesn't want to Think Like a Freak? I know I do! Oh wait. I already act like a freak! (Maybe that's why I was drawn to this book?) Oh well, I'm hoping Steven D. Levitt and Stephan J. Dubner have some really good ideas to becoming a little bit more freak-y.
The Fault in Our Stars should really be at the top of my 2014 summer reading list. I've wanted to read this book for months, but I keep passing it by because I just know John Green has written a heart breaker that is sure to bring me to tears. I'm a true blat-ass by nature and I'm sure to cry my way through this story, but I MUST read it before the summer is out!
I can hear my sub-conscious already. "Morning Routine? Really? I don't even like to see Morning and now you want me to get friendly with her and hang out every day?" Yeah baby! I'm already up and awake (sort-of) anyway, so why waste the time? I'd really like to Wake Up Successful every morning, so I"m hoping S. J. Scott will tell me how.
One of the changes that is soon coming to our life will affect our budget…massively. I'm trying to save, to be more frugal and a little less "Let's Go Shopping!" because we're bored. I've also been reading up on all of the budgeting books that I already have and working with my cash envelopes. But, when I came across this cute little piggy bank cover and the title The Retro Budget Prescription, I couldn't help myself. I've got to read this book by Nora D'Ecclesis.
This book is a touchy subject and the reviews offer a wide range of thoughts on the material. But, I still want to read it. I don't agree with the Common Core program. So, I'll be interested to see what Glenn Beck has to say about the subject when I finally get to read Conform. Every child, every person, every student, every human learns differently and that's okay. There is no "right way" to teach any specific subject to any certain person. Shoving a ton of intricate information into the brains of children, who are not cognitively ready to understand the material, is not creating a world of geniuses. It's providing us with a future full of adults that are overwhelmed, stressed out and left feeling disconnected with their peers and the world at large.
Some say our destiny is tied to the land, as much a part of us as we are of it. Others say fate is woven together like a cloth, so that one's destiny intertwines with many others. It's the one thing we search for, or fight to change. Some never find it. But there are some who are led. ~Princess Merida (from Disney-Pixar Brave)
Maybe Princess Merida was right…maybe our destiny is tied to the land. I've always wondered if that's true. Are you poor or rich just because your family was poor or rich? Are you always successful if your parents were successful? But what about those that beat the odds? People that make it in life when they came from absolutely nothing? What makes them more special than the next guy? I can't wait to find out what Malcolm Gladwell has to say, in Outliers, about our success being tied to our history and where we come from.
I love Pinterest. Despite the fact that it is a total time suck, I find a lot of really awesome things on the site. But, I would like to better utilize it for my own business. I'm hoping Jason Miles and Karen Lacey have some good ideas in their book Pinterest Power.
That's it for now. I actually have a ton of additional books saved to read this summer, but with the changes coming in my life, I really don't expect to have time for much more. I guess those stories will have to be "put on the shelf" for another time.
Hey, you didn't think I'd share a list of books without giving you somewhere to keep track of the ones you want to read, did you?
Just click the image below to grab your own free copy of my 2014 Summer Reading List.
Please keep in mind that the Summer Reading List printable is a gift from me to you and is for your personal use only. Do not resell, reproduce or transfer this design in any commercial form.

Apartment Refrigerators: Maximum Storage in a Compact Kitchen
Living in a small space doesn't mean you should have to sacrifice essential refrigerator space. With apartment refrigerators you can have ample storage space for your groceries while also saving space in the kitchen. With sleek new designs that can instantly freshen up any modest kitchen, your new refrigerator will be the talk of your next dinner party.

While there are many benefits of compact refrigerators, two of the most important are the convenience and the functionality. A compact fridge is the perfect solution to the small kitchens you often find in apartments. They won't take up too much space (that is so indispensable in limited spaces), but has plenty of storage for all your fruits, vegetables, drinks, eggs, milk and even saves room for all those condiments and leftovers.
Don't think that an apartment refrigerator won't leave room for your favorite late-night treat either. With freezer options on either the top or bottom of the fridge, you are sure to have plenty of space to store the beloved ice cream (and maybe even some cookie dough). With most refrigerators and freezers coming equipped with adjustable shelving, you'll be able to fit almost anything you want.
For the most efficient appliance, we offer several Energy Star refrigerators so that you can save money on your monthly utility bills. If that isn't enough of an incentive, then consider how much energy you are already saving by purchasing a smaller fridge unit rather than a large one. There are many benefits to owning a smaller refrigerator, and with the money you're saving on energy bills each month you can afford to fill the fridge with even tastier food options.
Look no further, we provide you with the highest quality apartment refrigerators on the market at a very competitive price. Browse through the large selection of stylish retro designs that add a burst of color to a boring kitchen, or consider a more modern stainless look to instantly update a small living space.

Nicki Minaj Runs Into Rihanna at Alexander Wang After-Party
Nicki Minaj took Fashion Week by storm. In addition to attending the Herve Leger show, she was invited by Alexander Wang to perform at his exclusive after-party over the weekend. In her latest vlog, she gives props to the designer before hitting the stage.
"Alexander, I just want to bow down to your feet and tell you that you are great and you are everything," she told Wang as he bowed before her. "I just love your spirit so much. He's such a sweetheart. Thank you for having me."
She also reunites with fellow island gal Rihanna. Nicki asks her how she's able to lose weight, but RiRi points back at her and says, "I want that, Nicki. I'm mad."

Geography Standard: National Standard 17, NH Standard 11.10.1
Purpose/Objectives: Students will:
Describe how people's perceptions of the train have
changed over time.
Describe the impact of the train on the physical landscape of America.
Describe how the train has changed the spatial organization of America.
You will also need maps of railroad lines, which you will find in an historical atlas. I used These United States printed by Rand McNally & Company.
Materials: The following poems are available in most anthologies or in collections by the poets: "I like to see it lap the miles" by Emily Dickinson; "The Flower Fed Buffalo" by Vachel Lindsay; " Transcontinental" by Donald Hall.
Divide the class into groups of no more than four. Give each group copies of the three poems. Pass out the assignment sheet.
Read the poems aloud and go over any words which you think that the students might not understand.
Discuss the groups' analyses of the poems. (Focus on the train as the symbol in these poems. Write down the different interpretations of it as a symbol. Some might see it as a positive symbol and others might see it as a negative symbol.)
Pass out the railroad maps. Brainstorm ways that the railroad changed the physical landscape and the spatial organization of society. Organize the changes according to whether the students see them as positive or negative. They may overlap. When you are finished ask students to explain how these changes still impact us today.
Go back to the poems. Explain that Dickinson is writing in the mid-eighteenth century, Lindsay in the early to mid-twentieth century, and Hall from the mid-twentieth century to now. What are the poets' perceptions of the train? How did they change? Why do you think that they changed?
Put the following statement on the board and ask students
to respond to it.
Name a technological advance that you think will affect the physical environment and people's attitudes toward the way we perceive the environment. Then explain how iyour selection will change the environment and the way we perceive it.
Evaluation/Assessment: The group presentation of the analysis of the poem and the writing at end as well as the group discussion of the poets' perceptions assess the students' ability to understand and use the standards.
Extension/Enrichment: You could use these three poems or any other literature involving the perception of technology to teach Standard 17 or 18.
Reflections: How successful was this lesson? Did all students benefit? Were there any surprises? What might you do differently another time? Please note any changes that will make this lesson more effective and useful in the future and pass them along to the NHGA. We appreciate your comments.
Thank you.
The authors.

EAU CLAIRE The University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire will celebrate Alumni Weekend May 14-15 with a variety of activities to welcome alumni of all ages back to campus.
Among the activities are "A Walk Down Memory Lane," a collection of photographs and memorabilia from the Class of 1949; a tour of campus; the University Theatre's production of "Hothouse"; and the annual meeting of the Alumni Association.
The honored guest for Alumni Weekend will be Charlie Bauer, UW-Eau Claire's vice chancellor of Business and Student Services, who will retire this summer after 34 years of service to the university. A retirement celebration in his honor is planned for Saturday evening. An exhibit titled "Celebrating a Life of Service" will commemorate Bauer's service to UW-Eau Claire.
Suzie Slota, director of Alumni Relations, said the weekend offers a chance for recognition, entertainment and personal interaction.
"It's a chance for alumni to reminisce with each other," she said.
Slota said the members of the class of 1949 will be welcomed into the Golden Blugold Club as they celebrate their 50th class reunion.
May 11 is the reservation deadline for the UW-Eau Claire Alumni Association's weekend of activities. For more information, call (715) 836-3266 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

- Net redemptions last week of $3.5B was the biggest week of sales in six months, according to JPMorgan estimates. Redemptions in emerging market ETFs was $1.9B.
- All emerging markets saw outflows with the exception of South Africa, where the iShares MSCI South Africa ETF (EZA +2.8%) had $346M of inflows.

- President Obama is expected to announce a $14B commitment by U.S. companies to invest in construction, clean energy, banking, and information technology projects across Africa.
- "These investments will deepen U.S. economic engagement in Africa, fueling growth that will support broader African prosperity and emerging markets for US businesses, which will support jobs in both the United States and Africa," says a White House official.
- The announcement will occur at the U.S.-Africa Business Forum today, part of a three-day Africa summit in Washington.
- ETFs: AFK, EZA
Thu, Jul. 17, 3:27 AM
- The IMF praised the formation of the New Development Bank and reserves fund launched by BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) yesterday, and announced that it would like to work together with the monumental project.
- So far the new fund has pooled together $100B in reserves from the five countries with the intention of reshaping the Western-dominated international financial system.

Wed, Jul. 16, 3:58 AM
- The long-awaited New Development Bank has been launched after BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) leaders put their finishing touches on the $100B bank and currency reserve pool aimed at reshaping the Western-dominated international financial system centered around the IMF and World Bank.
- The launch marks the first big accomplishment by BRICS countries, which account for almost half the world's population.
- The bank is scheduled to start lending in 2016. Membership is open to other countries but the capital share of the BRICS cannot fall under 55%.
- ETFs: EWZ, RSX, EPI, INDY, RUSL, PIN, EZA, INP, INDL, RSXJ, ERUS, RUSS, DSUM, CHIX, INXX, INDA, RBL, BRZU, BZQ, UBR, BRZS, DBBR, CHLC, FBZ, RUDR
Mon, Feb. 3, 8:43 AM
- In order to draw the necessary capital to pull emerging markets out of their swoon, real interest rates have to go higher, says Citigroup. A near-doubling of the benchmark rate in Turkey last week only pulled one-year borrowing costs up to 3.6%, less than half the average in the thee years prior to 2008. The real yield in Mexico (EWW) is about zero. In South Africa, it's 1.4% vs. 2% over the past decade.
- "When you have low real rates and try to finance your current-account deficits, it usually won't work," says Citi LatAm strategist Dirk Willer. "If the U.S. is repricing for higher rates, it's very difficult for you to get away with lower rates. South Africa (EZA) and Turkey (TUR) are not safe yet."
- EEM -0.5% premarket

Thu, Jan. 30, 1:17 PM
- "International monetary cooperation has broken down," says India central bank boss Raghuram Rajan, a day after the Fed boosted the size of its taper and made no mention of melting-down emerging markets. Rajan joined counterparts from Turkey and South Africa this week in boosting rates to try and stem the slide in their domestic currencies.
- "The challenge is brought on by their own domestic policies," says former Fed Governor Randy Krosner. "It's unfair to say it's all the Fed's fault."
- Back in his IMF days in 2011, Rajan authored a report calling for the formation of a committee composed of representatives from the major central banks who would report on the spillover consequences of their individual policies. Good luck with that one.
- Emerging markets are getting a respite today amid a big rally in the West (of the West is rallying because of a respite in emerging markets).
- Related ETFs: EEM, VWO, DEM, RSX, EDC, EPI, DGS, INDY, EDZ, CYB, SCIF, PIN, INP, EEMV, EZA, SCHE, EEB, CNY, EDIV, INDL, BZF, IEMG, DVYE, RUSL, EEV, BIK, EWX, BKF, CEW, PIE, ICN, ERUS, ADRE, HILO, INR, RUSS, INDA, SCIN, INXX, EUM, FNI, RSXJ, EET, FXCH, RBL, GMM, PXH, INCO, EEMS, BBRC, EELV, SMIN, FEMS, DGRE, EEME, EMDD, BICK, AYT, DBEM, EMCR, PGD, FEM, EWEM, EMBB, EMLB, JEM, EVAL, TLTE, EEHB, EGRW, FNDE, EMDG, EMHD, EMSA, EMDR, EMFT, QEM, RUDR, QDEM
Wed, Jan. 29, 10:54 AM
- Who could have thought raising interest rates 425 basis points would be bearish? A curious rally following Turkey's defense of the lira - it jacked rates to 12% from 7.75% - has completely reversed. One feels a 1992-like vibe where the Bank of England hiked like crazy to defend the pound, but then ultimately had to let it go (also creating a bottom in stocks).
- In Europe, the Stoxx 50 (FEZ) is off 1.3%, with Turkey (TUR) now down 2.3%.
- South Africa joins the party, unexpectedly hiking its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points to 5.5%. EZA -2.8%.
- A check of Brazil (EWZ -1.3%) and India (EPI -1.1%) - where monetary policy has also been tightened this week - finds them lower as well.
- The money is flowing into U.S. Treasurys which continue a big 2014 rally. The 10-year yield is off five basis points to 2.71%. TLT +0.3%, TBT -0.5%.
- Europe ETFs: ETFs: FXE, VGK, EUO, FEZ, ERO, EU, DFE, IEV, EPV, EZU, HEDJ, DRR, GXF, FEU, GUR, FDD, EUFX, ESR, UPV, ULE, FEP, ADRU, URR, FEEU, EURZ, DBEU, EURL, FIEU

Wed, Jan. 29, 8:48 AM
- The South African Reserve Bank has unexpectedly raised interest rates by 50 bps, with the key repurchase rate rising to 5.5% and the prime lending rate to 9%.
- The consensus was that the bank wouldn't increase rates, but the weakness of the rand has prompted it to act.
- The bank's move follows similar action of varying degrees from peers in other emerging markets, most notably Turkey yesterday, India and Brazil.
- "The bunch of rate hikes from other emerging-market economies has put pressure on (Governor Gill) Marcus to hike rates because there's a fear she's going to be left behind if she doesn't move and foreign money will then invest in other emerging market economies," says trader Sijadu Mzozoyana. (PR)
- However, the bank's move seems to be having no effect on the rand, with the USD-ZAR +2.5 to 11.2988 rand. The FTSE/JSE Top 40 is +0.4%.
Fri, Jan. 24, 8:16 AM
- The iShares Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM) is off 1.3% in the premarket as investors rush out of emerging currencies. The Turkish lira plunged to a record low today, while Ukraine's hryvnia fell to a four-year low, and South Africa's Rand dove to its weakest since October 2008 following Argentina's decision to devalue the peso and a weak PMI report out of China yesterday.
- "We continue to see the risks surrounding China's macro trajectory as having a negative impact on EM," says Morgan Stanley's Rashique Rahman. "As capital costs rise and investment slows, commodity prices should come under pressure, boding poorly for economies linked to China's old growth model."
- In Russia, the ruble has declined to an all-time low vs. the euro.
- Of Turkey from Rareview Macro's Neil Azous: "Their net foreign-exchange reserves are dwindling pretty fast. They're definitely in the danger zone. If you're a money manager, the responsible action is to take some measures to reduce risk."
- Emerging market ETFs: EEM, VWO, DEM, EDC, DGS, EDZ, EEMV, EEB, SCHE, EDIV, IEMG, DVYE, EEV, BIK, EWX, BKF, PIE, CEW, ADRE, HILO, EUM, FNI, EET, GMM, PXH, BBRC, EEMS, EELV, FEMS, EEME, EMDD, BICK, EMCR, DBEM, FEM, EWEM, EVAL, JEM, EMLB, EMBB, TLTE, EEHB, EGRW, FNDE, EMSA, EMHD, EMFT, EMDR, QEM, QDEM

Dec. 6, 2013, 3:30 AM
- South African markets are calm following the passing of Nelson Mandela, who was instrumental in the country's peaceful transition away from apartheid.
- One of Mandela's biggest achievements was enacting policies that paved the way for GDP to grow for 15 years, the longest period of expansion in South Africa's history. These policies included embracing the free market, cutting costs and attracting foreign investment.
- The question is now that Mandela has passed on, whether South Africa will feel more free to abandon the policies and conciliation that he espoused. For example, the ANC's youth wing wants to nationalize banks and mines, policies that Mandela ditched in 1994.
- There are also fears that Mandela's death could leave South Africa open to renewed racial and social tensions, such as those seen in the mine strikes over the past year or so.
- The economy is already not in a good way: unemployment is 24.7% and there is a large inequality in earnings between blacks and whites.
- The FTSE/JSE Top 40 is +0.3%, the South African 10-year bond yield is -2.5 bps at 8.16%, and the USD-ZAR is +0.2% at 10.4732 rand.

Jun. 26, 2013, 10:40 AM43 out of 45 global markets are oversold, according to BAML's "Breadth Buy" indicator. These extreme signals tend to be followed by a short-term 6-7% bounce, but, cautions chief investment strategist Michael Hartnett, a sustained rally would require a shift in policy behavior. What's more, the 2 markets not in oversold territory are the U.S. (SPY) and Japan (EWJ, DXJ) and they're kind of important. Most oversold: Brazil (EWZ), Turkey (TUR), South Africa (EZA), Mexico (EWW), Materials (XLB), China (FXI, CAF). Least oversold (in addition to the U.S. and Japan): Health Care (XLV, IYH), and Consumer Discretionary (XLY). | Comment!
Jun. 11, 2013, 5:45 AMThe rout in emerging markets has continued today, with the South African rand (EZA) sliding 1.6% to 10.35 to the dollar, the yield on 10-year government bonds jumping 27.5 bps to 8.17%, and the JSE Top 40 sinking 1.8%. Meanwhile, Thai shares lost 4.5%, Indonesia 3.9% and the Philippines 4.6%. (See rupee hits record lows) | Comment!
Jun. 3, 2013, 7:55 AMGlencore Xstrata (GLCNF.PK) fires 1,000 workers across three of its chrome mines in South Africa for going on illegal strike last week, bringing those operations to a halt. The dispute adds to long-running friction in the mining industry that has raised concerns about Africa's largest economy and sent the rand to four-year lows. The country is home to ~75% of the world's chromite reserves. | Comment!
May. 31, 2013, 6:13 AMEmerging-market currencies are taking a battering, with the South African rand (EZA) receiving particular punishment. What began as a "drip drip of currency weakness" (WSJ) on concerns about the end of the Fed's QE program has turned into a flood as countries' various problems become exposed. The rand is down 6.3% since last week and the Turkish lira is -2.4%. | 1 Comment
May. 23, 2013, 2:46 PMGold's sharp rise today can be attributed to the dollar's drop vs. the yen; when the dollar drops, gold should rise, as their correlation during the past 24 days has hit -86%. A stock sector that's standing out is emerging market gold miners: South Africa's Sibanye (SBGL), Harmony (HMY) and AngloGold (AU), plus Peru's Buenaventura (BVN) are stronger, even as their corresponding country ETFs (EZA; EPU) are in the red. | 5 Comments
May. 21, 2013, 2:17 PMSouth Africa's rand falls to its lowest level in four years as clashes between mine owners and workers erupt again today. Government "heavy-handedness" with mining companies has created a "major negative" for investors both inside and outside mining, as it reduces companies' abilities to set their balance sheets and control their own destinies, Greenbriar Partners says. AU -3.3%, GFI -3%, HMY -2.6%. | 5 Comments

Munis are cheap, but things still aren't looking up for some key aspects of the municipal market: muni funds have seen 22 straight weeks of outflows, and the trend line in muni credit quality is decidedly downward, even if it's a bit less bad than before.
Moody's says today that public finance credit-rating downgrades continued to far outnumber upgrades – 77% to 23% – in the third quarter, although the percentage of downgrades eased a bit from 83% in both the first quarter and the second quarter. Moody's counted 182 total downgrades in Q3, covering $53.9 billion of debt (down from $92 billion in Q2), versus 53 upgrades worth $8 billion. Mood's said it expects downgrades to continue to outpace upgrades through the rest of the year despite broader economic improvement.
Of those 182 downgrades, 145 applied to local governments, affecting $42 billion in debt, with 19 of those based on Moody's new approach for analyzing state and local government pensions. The most prominent of these were the City of Chicago, which saw its rating cut to A3 from Aa3, affecting $8.2 billion in debt; Chicago Board of Education, to A3 from A2, affecting $6.3 billion in debt; and Philadelphia School District, to Ba2 from Ba1, affecting $3.3 billion. Cincinnati and Minneapolis also saw downgrades due to the rating agency's new approach to analyzing pension liabilities.
"The preponderance of local government downgrades underscores the credit pressure some local governments continue to face," said Moody's Analyst Chandra Ghosal. "We also see that despite broader economic improvement, there are still regional pockets of concentrated credit pressure." One sign of such concentration is the high share of downgrades in California, Illinois, and Michigan, which accounted for over 40% of downgrades in the quarter.
You write down $8.8 billion ONE TIME and credit rating agencies are all over you.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), which is already dealing with an embarrassing accounting scandal at its Autonomy unit, just saw its rating cut by Moody's to Baa1 from A3 with a negative outlook. The rating agency said the downgrade concludes a review initiated Oct. 4 and interestingly it didn't mention the write-down or the scandal as a reason for the downgrade (although it previously called the write-down "credit negative" for HPQ). Moody's said the cut impacts about $25 billion of debt securities.
Moody's said the new rating reflects its expectations that "although HP will maintain strong to leading positions in a number of product areas, the company's credit profile will remain weaker than previously expected over the intermediate term," according to Moody's senior VP Richard Lane.
Moody's said the negative rating outlook reflects concerns about HPQ's ability to contend with the significant competitive, secular and execution challenges facing the company. A "broad portion of HP's portfolio, including PC's, some enterprise servers, printers, and services, representing over 75% of revenue, will face slow to no growth prospects over the coming years," Lane said. The ability to restore growth and profitability has sufficient uncertainty that we believe event risk in the form of more shareholder friendly actions or portfolio repositioning could develop, which would pressure the company's credit ratings.

This is a post about the Tokyo Subway Map Quilt-Along, which you can join at any time. Piecing instructions were included in this earlier post.
Here's Block 20!
And the diagram for Block 20.
There's a lot of white space going on in Block 21.
And just in case there was any question about my being completely crazy, I went through this weekend and replaced several of the prints that I wasn't loving with more fussy-cut animals. I realize that the actual Tokyo Subway System is full of people, but I do enjoy fussy cutting (and animals) and like the way it looks.
Just two more block posts after this. I'm planning to post them on Tuesday and Thursday of next week.

Documents: Whittemore stated he "just snapped," was sober when he killed girlfriend
MONROE COUNTY, N.Y. (WKTV) - Documents from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office state that Clayton Whittemore was sober and aware that he had beaten his girlfriend, Alexandra Kogut to death in her SUNY Brockport Dorm Room, claiming he "just snapped."
Clayton Whittemore was officially indicted Tuesday on second-degree murder and on Wednesday, Whittemore was formally arraigned on that charge.
The Monroe County District Attorney says Whittemore beat Alexandra Kogut, also from New Hartford, to death. She was found in her dorm room on September 29.
According to documents from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, Whittemore made statements on September 29 to a guard while on suicide watch, where he admitted to killing Kogut.
Editor's Note: The following text, obtained from Monroe County officials, is graphic in nature.
"While watching Inmate Whittemore on constant observation, Inmate Whittemore asked if I would talk to him so he could clear his mind," a statement from the prison guard reads. "I asked Inmate Whittemore what it was he wanted to talk about and he stated 'I killed my girlfriend.'"
The guard states that Whittemore told him he had been attending college in Utica and drove to SUNY Brockport to visit his girlfriend of two years, Alexandra.
"He stated they went to a friend's house where they had a drink," the guard states. "He told me that his girlfriend was being rude to him the entire time they were at this house. On the way back to the dorm room, he stated that he received an open container ticket, and that it 'made me mad.'"
The statement goes on to say that once Kogut and Whittemore returned to the dorm room, they began to argue about "stupid stuff."
The guard states that Whittemore said "she started pushing me and yelling at me, so I pushed her back against the wall to get her to stop. She wouldn't stop pushing me, so I started punching her and just snapped. I kept hitting her over and over with my fists."
According to the statement, Whittemore told the guard that he was trying to kill her.
"Her breathing sounded bad, like there was blood or something blocking her breathing," Whittemore told the guard, according to the statement. "I didn't want the girl I loved to suffer, so I started beating her with the curling iron until the noise stopped."
The guard said Whittemore told him that he knew she was dead when he left the dorm room.
"I wasn't even drunk," the guard says Whittemore stated. "I just snapped."
Whittemore will be back in court for his arraignment on October 25.
