That Time of Year
I'll soon be heading up to Vegas for yet another SOE Live. I'm pretty excited, as we've got some great panels on fiction and the content of EQNext.
I'm also terrified, because I'll be on stage in front of several thousand people to talk during a small portion of the keynote speech. I love doing panels, but standing in the spotlight of the big stage is another thing altogether. It's early in the morning on Friday, so with any luck I'll be too tired to be nervous. Sadly, though, Vegas and luck don't usually go hand in hand for me.
These shows are a ton of work, but seeing the reaction of the fans makes it all worth it. I know that sounds cliche, but it's actually true. So come say hi if you're there, I'd love to chat!

Things I liked:Wood stock. The heft and feel. Accurate and reasonably powerful.
Things I would have changed:Quality control.
What others should know:This failed to hold air after pumping, within days of owning it. I could not hunt with it, as the hissing air and re-pumping is not very stealthy so it was of no use to me.
Things I liked:The nice, hefty feel in the hands. Accuracy. Power. The scope. It does feel like a rifle should, the little extra weight of the hardwood stock and metal receiver are not difficult to carry, but help stabilize the rifle for accurate shooting. The scope is clear, has a good reticle and adjustments. I like how the scope rings were already mounted to the scope at the proper places (for me) so all I had to do was mount it to the rifle and do a quick sight-in. The scope mounts are a little higher than standard, and this helps tremendously on feeding pellets into the chamber with my fingers. I can shoot 3/4" groups at 20 yards with this gun with even a poor rifle rest. Very accurate for me with RWS Superpoint Extra pellets. This rifle seems well made for the money, and has all the power I need.
Things I would have changed:It is difficult to get pellets to slide forward into the breach as the bolt is closed. I always have to point the gun downward and shake it until the pellet "falls" into the breach before closing the cocking bolt. It feels like there is some sort of lip or edge that tends to catch the pellet and prevent and easy slide forward.
What others should know:Overall, I love this rifle. I chronograph a little over 540 feet per second velocity average, 12 inches from the muzzle. This is with 14.5 grain RWS Superpoint Extra pellets and the maximum 10 pumps. Not bad at all for a .22 air rifle, in my opinion.
Things I liked:Wood stock, easy to pump and very accurate. Variable power, 2 pumps for the pellet trap in the basement and full power available for outdoor use.
Things I would have changed:Replace plastic parts with metal, especially the pump lever. Offer it without the scope.
What others should know:The receiver, bolt and pump lever are plastic. Pump this gun more than 7 times and you can see the pump lever flex.

Fire closes Highway 18B
Jul 19, 2013
News-Register Staff
Update: Crews are being recalled from the Telegraph Road fire, which is apparently being brought under control, and the estimate of traffic delays on Highway 18B has been reduced to under 20 minutes.
Crews are closing Highway 18B between Willamina and Sheridan, because a wildland fire is burning on both sides of the road, and is spreading rapidly. The fire has gone to a second alarm. Motorists may want to delay travel, or seek an alternate route; Tripcheck. com reports traffic delays of 20 minutes to two hours.
In an unrelated development, crews are being called to fight a wildland fire on southeast Telegraph Road.

4 Irwin Ave. Toronto, Ontario M4Y 1K9
ethiopianhouse.com | Map | Leave your own review | User reviews
It's no surprise that a cuisine made for sharing engenders cross-table confessionals about job struggles and divorce scandals. It makes Ethiopian House's packed, vibrantly hued room feel even more intimate. The food is generally good, though not outstanding. Senig karia brings a jalapeño stuffed with a tangy mix of tomatoes and onions; unfortunately, the pepper's intense heat overwhelms the other flavours. A vegetarian platter holds eight stews made from legumes (lentils, chickpeas and split peas), roots (carrots, potatoes) and leaves (collard greens, kale). With the exception of the bland greens, everything has a lovely savoury quality, but with so many of the components covered in the same seasonings (berbere, garlic, ginger, turmeric), none of the stews is particularly memorable on its own. No desserts.

Sin-Itiro Tomonaga (1906-1979)
Japanese theoretical physicist Sin-Itiro Tomonaga resolved key problems with the theory of quantum electrodynamics (QED) developed by Paul Dirac in the late 1920s through the use of a mathematical technique he referred to as renormalization. Tomonagas work did not change the basic physical foundation of Diracs theory, which described the relationships between electrically charged particles and the electromagnetic field, but rather refined QED in order to make it consistent with the theory of special relativity and to show that the theory agrees quantitatively with results obtained experimentally to a great degree of accuracy. In 1965, Tomonaga received a portion of the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to quantum electrodynamics. He shared the award with American physicists Julian Schwinger and Richard Feynman, who similarly worked out the difficulties inherent in QED as described by Dirac at about the same time as Tomonaga, albeit through different means.
The son of a philosophy professor, Tomonaga was born in Tokyo in 1906. He spent his early childhood there, but in 1913 his family relocated to Kyoto. Tomonaga attended Kyoto Imperial University (where his father taught), earning the Japanese equivalent to a bachelors degree in physics in 1929. He then began graduate studies. At the time physics was being revolutionized by such scientists as Dirac, Werner Heisenberg, and Wolfgang Pauli, who were forming the backbone of quantum mechanics. At first Tomonaga carried out graduate research in the laboratory of Kajuro Tomaki in Kyoto, but later he transferred to the Science Research Institute in Tokyo, where he worked under Yoshio Nishina. He focused on the nascent field of quantum electrodynamics, which would retain his attention throughout his career.
In the late 1930s, Tomonaga had the opportunity to visit the University of Leipzig. In Germany he worked with Heisenbergs group and produced a paper on the nucleus of the atom that served as his dissertation when he returned to Japan in 1939 and received his doctoral degree. In 1940 he married Ryoko Sekiguchi, with whom he would have three children, and in 1941 he accepted a physics professorship at Bunrika University, which later became incorporated into the Tokyo University of Education. He taught and held various departmental posts until 1956, when he became university president.
Shortly after he joined Bunrika University, Tomonaga began his groundbreaking work in quantum electrodynamics. However, due to World War II, he was not in contact with western physicists. Tomonagas key papers describing his use of renormalization and his adaptation of QED theory appeared in Japan in 1943, but were not translated into English until 1948. By that time, Schwinger and Feynman had independently completed similar work. The American physicists, however, based their approaches partly on experiments, whereas Tomonaga considered QED from a purely theoretical standpoint. Together their work saved QED, which some scientists had contemplated abandoning because of the incongruity between theoretical predictions and experimental findings.
Following the war, Tomonagas contributions to quantum electrodynamics gained him wide recognition. In 1949, he went to Princeton University for two years as a visiting scholar, then returned to his position in Japan.
Tomonaga stepped down as president of Tokyo University in 1962, but was appointed director of the schools Institute of Optical Research the following year. Also in 1963 he became president of the Science Council of Japan. In 1969 he retired from both posts. Ten years later, on July 8, 1979, Tomonaga died in Tokyo. The great physicist received many honors over the course of his career. In addition to the Nobel Prize, he accepted the Japan Academy Prize, the Order of Culture of Japan and the Lomonosov Gold Medal, bestowed by the Russian Academy of Sciences. Throughout his life, Tomonaga dedicated himself to stemming the proliferation of nuclear weapons while encouraging the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. His efforts proved critical in the foundation of the University of Tokyos Institute for Nuclear Studies.

Haven Season 3 Premiere Review: Colorado Kiddingby Carissa Pavlica at . Comments
Hello, Haven fans, and welcome to our weekly review of this incredible SyFy series!
I hope you've had time to catch up on the first two seasons because with the Season 3 Premiere we pick up right where we left off: Nathan confronting Duke about the disappearance of Audrey. If only it had been Nathan or Duke who was responsible for her kidnapping, things in Haven would be much simpler.
I have to be honest, I was completely lost for a lot of the episode as to why Audrey was kidnapped. It had something to do with The Colorado Kid, which most any of her problems do. Except that The Colorado Kid had supposedly been dead for over 20 years and the kidnapper seemed to think Audrey would have new information to share.
That wouldn't be unheard of because we have yet to discover who Audrey really is. Is she the awakened incarnation of Lucy or Sarah? Or might she be someone even completely different, with new memories that will come out during Season 3?
It's so fun to learn along with the characters who she might be, and what her significance to Haven is that she keeps coming around every 27 years. Given the first two seasons and the many shocking revelations, nothing would totally surprise me.
Despite what Vince said, when they dug up the grave of The Colorado Kid, there was no body to be found. The Colorado Kid may still be alive. I have absolutely no idea what that would mean to Haven, Audrey or anything else because he has been even more of a mystery to the audience than Audrey.
At least with Audrey we know who she is now, but Vince, Dave and the others who were around during The Colorado Kid's time in Haven are reluctant to share more than the basest of facts. It does absolutely nothing for Audrey's search about her past, who she was or who she is, and for once she really laid into the brothers about what they might know. They revealed very little. Again.
But in the coffin of The Colorado Kid, weighted with bricks instead of the body they had sworn was buried there, one of her previous incarnations wrote "Find him, before The Hunter." Because The Colorado Kid wasn't mystery enough, now they have to figure out who, or what, The Hunter is. Never a dull moment.
The trouble of the episode was certainly one unlike we've ever encountered. And it was a close one! Aliens? To this point troubles have seemed more in tune with the individual, their families or their problems. For a family to imagine aliens that not only scoop up the members, but also make themselves known to all of the townspeople was really different. Duke, Audrey and Nathan watched Wesley walk into a light and up into an alien craft. A strange trouble, for sure, and it only affected others by its magnetic power to raise pretty much anything under 50 pounds and toss it around town.
With his disappearance, so went the trouble.
When Audrey finally got free from her kidnapper and ran to Nathan, the look on Duke's face was so telling. It's been no secret that both men have harbored as much of a thing for Audrey as they do for each other. For each other, in a brotherly way, of course. I know this season is going to delve deeply into the very complicated relationship between these three characters, and that's what the premiere did best, it set up the season for us to wonder what will happen between them. A bromance and at least one romance.
At this point I doubt Duke would move in on Audrey because as much as he plays to hate Nathan, their feelings are so deep that the pain that comes naturally between them is enough for both of them to handle without further complicating it with a fight for Audrey. If something happened to Nate, all bets would be off.
What did you think of the premiere? On board for season three? I'll see you back here next week!

Nathan the Colaroado kid, nope don't think so, reckon he might be his daddy though. Love the show :-)
I love this show! I forgot how much I missed watching it. The Aliens story was a little more far fetched than the other "troubles".
I like how they have developed Nathan & Audrey' characters into a true friendship and are now moving forward with them falling in love. I 'm not sure if the other characters will try to interfere with their new found love. I think Duke was hurt but he saw that relationship develop also, he'll be ok,
Want to see more of Nathan & Audrey!
It looks like the Colorado kid's death was faked and Lucy wrote a message to herself knowing that she would eventually dig up the grave and find it. I'd really love to know who's responsible for erasing people's memories and implanting fake ones I also don't that there was ever a kidnapping. We never saw the guy's mother and the "prisoner" behind the wall seemed like a ploy to get Audrey to confide in someone about the Colorado kid. The minute Audrey revealed that she couldn't remember anything prior to 6 months, the woman was "taken away". I'm also not sure if the son was in on the ploy, or if his mom faked her own kidnapping.
This is such an awesome show, but I was confused with the whole UFO story and how it's connection with everything. I agree that Lucy/Audrey has been around from the town's very beginning. Also, if the troubles are passed from generation to generation, there must be something special about their ancestors, who would have been the original founders of the town.
It was a lame episode to start.
The UFOs were bad...
And of course... The coffin was empty!
Also, I was hoping Audrey and Nathan would get closer. It's been clear for a moment that they have feelings for each other.
@Bobsuncorp, I was thinking the same thing... when the guy said that she loved the Colorado Kid, I thought of Nathan right away. I like your theory that she's been part of Haven from the beginning an might be the cause of the troubles.
I have to say I have thought after many episodes over the last two years that Haven is actually the best new show on TV. I really like the character interaction. They really seem to like each other, and I expect there must be a good working relationship on the set. I also like that is a "procedural" show.
I don't think I'll be satisfied unless we find out that Audrey (or whatever her name was at the time) came to Haven on the original colony ship hundreds of years ago. There's even a drawing of a blonde young woman in period dress in the opening credits, and I think that is supposed to be her. She has been around for a lot longer than the 3 (including the current) incarnations that we have heard about. I also think that it is entirely possible that she is somehow the cause of all the troubles, either unintentionally or in a previous evil incarnation of course. This is why if Duke kills her it will end all troubles forever. Oh, and the Colorado Kid is Nathan.
Awesome epie, did not disappoint! Great to have it back.... but my poor Duke :( that look on his face!

CONFERENCE QUEEN: When Oprah Winfrey took the stage at the American Magazine Conference on Tuesday for a sit-down with Susan Casey, the editor in chief of her namesake magazine, she made quick note of a strange situation. "This is an unusual circumstance that I'm going to allow myself to be interviewed," Winfrey said. "In the elevator Susan asked if I wanted to see the questions ahead of time, and I said no. It makes it more fun."
Not that Winfrey was ever in anything but total control of the chat, which closed out the two-day meeting of magazine executives in Chicago. At one point, the master of all media even paused to fix Casey's mane. "Your hair's sticking out right there," she said to the editor while patting her head. When not stage managing, raving about her iPad or dispensing Oprah-isms (Sample: "This journey here on Earth is about growing to who you really are"), Winfrey talked on her upcoming exit from her syndicated show and what to expect from the Oprah Winfrey Network next year. Those curious might want to check the newsstand, as Winfrey said that her team is using the "quality and spirit of what we do in the magazine to create a network." (Cue a huge sigh of relief from Hearst Magazines, publisher of Oprah.)
"David Zaslav came in holding an Oprah magazine," she said, describing how the chief executive officer of partner Discovery Communications presented his vision for the 24/7 network. "It's the 'live your best life' channel," she added, cribbing from the magazine's tag line.
Where Winfrey was busy thinking about traditional media dominance, most conference attendees were wrestling with the digital future. Morgan Guenther, ceo of the publishing industry joint venture Next Issue Media, had the unenviable time slot that preceded Winfrey's. He promised the much-awaited digital storefront would make its debut in 2011, a launch that probably couldn't come soon enough for many in the room.
"I think that you guys need to take a hard line in the sand," William Lynch, ceo of Barnes & Noble (which just batted away an unwelcome advance from Yucaipa Cos.), advised the crowd earlier in the day. Lynch didn't make explicit reference to the quiet battle between magazine publishers and Apple over customer data sharing that has largely held up subscription selling until now, but he didn't really need to. Most in the room, where the iPad was the go-to accessory this year, knew what he was talking about.
"Be obdurate about that kind of access.…Don't let anybody tell you how to run your business," he said. Perhaps, say, Yucaipa's Ron Burkle? — Matthew Lynch

IBM Introduces New Class Of Network Security Appliance To Help Control Social Media And Web Browsing Risks
ARMONK, N.Y., July 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- As employee access to the Web has become ubiquitous, enterprises are struggling with massive increases in malware as well as Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), which can compromise proprietary data. Many of today's security solutions often offer limited visibility and control over network activity, which can put the company at risk.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO)
To help clients proactively protect against evolving security threats, including those posed by social media sites and malicious websites, IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced a new class of network security appliance that delivers a more granular view of a company's security posture and a simplified security management interface. This new next-generation intrusion prevention appliance helps clients address advanced attacks targeting their organization, providing visibility into exactly what applications are being used on the network, where users are going on the Web, with the ability to monitor and control this activity, which can result in improved security and reduced operational costs.
Unprecedented Application VisibilityMany enterprises today, armed with legacy tools to protect themselves, are often not prepared to face the continuously evolving threat landscape. IBM Security Network Protection XGS 5000 is a next-generation intrusion protection system specifically designed to address the constantly evolving, increasingly sophisticated threats that organizations face today. It builds on the proven, core security features found in IBM Security Network Intrusion Prevention System, including helping protect against "zero-day" exploits, by adding new levels of visibility and control over the network, applications, data and users to help improve security by helping prevent misuse and identify previously undetectable threats.IBM Security Network Protection incorporates global threat intelligence from X-Force, including a Web filter database of over 15 billion URLs – capable of monitoring and categorizing millions of Web servers and applications each day to provide superior protection against the changing threat landscape.

The Greater Abomination: Washington's Lies About TARP's "Success" Are Worse Than The Original Bailouts, Part ISubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 - 11:38
The mainstream economics narrative is so far down the monetary rabbit hole that the blinding clarity of the chart below has no chance whatsoever of seeing the light of day. That's because it dramatizes the real truth regarding all the Fed gibberish about "accommodation" and "stimulus". Namely, that what lies beneath its "extraordinary measures", such as ZIRP, QE, wealth effects and the rest of the litany, is a central banking regime that systematically destroy savers. Period. TARP wasn't "repaid" with a profit. It was simply perpetuated and morphed into a new form of destructive state subvention and malinvestment.

T. Boone Pickens Rages On CNBC: "I Am The Expert, Not You", Says Oil Down Due To "Weak Demand"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 - 11:10
Narrative, we have a problem! No lesser oil-man than T. Boone Pickens made quite an appearance on CNBC this morning - stunning the cheerleaders into first defense then silence as he broke the facts on oil's collapse to them. Oil is down "mainly due to weak demand," he explains... the anchors deny, "I am the expert, not you" Pickens rages as he warns drilling rigs will be laid down on a very wide scale (just as we have noted previously). Arguing over 'peak oil', he calls CNBC chatter "bullshit" and laid out a rather dismal short- to medium-term outlook for the oil & gas sector - not what the cheerleading tax-cut slurping media narrative wants to hear at all...

Will The Fed Intervene In The Oil Market?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 - 10:40
In a larger sense, the Fed is already intervening in the oil sector via its zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) and its unlimited liquidity for financial speculation.Should the Fed turn the dial of intervention up by buying futures and oil-based bonds, it is not a new policy--it is simply a matter of degree. The intervention has been going on in every sector since 2008. The implosion of the oil sector is simply the latest outbreak of consequence following cause.

The Housing Recovery Remains Cancelled Due To 6 Months Of Downward RevisionsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 - 10:15
Following last month's surge to record high home prices, it is perhaps no surprise that for the 6th month in a row, home prices have been revised lower. New Home Sales printed 438k, down from prior revised lower 445k and missing expectations of a surge to 460k... missing for 8 of the last 10 months. However, the key focus should be on the epic revisions of the (by now useless) home sales. For the period May - November, the initial new home sales prints amount to 2.779MM houses. Post revision, the number plunges by 22% to 2.168K. There goes the housing pillar of recovery (let's hope economists are wrong and rates don't rise next year eh?)

UMich Consumer Confidence Near 8-Year High, Inflation Expectations Hit 4-Year LowsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 - 10:03
Despite the collapse of inflation expectations in last month's UMich confidence, the push to 7-year highs was unstoppable (though missing expectations)...after soaring confidence amid Ebola scares and crashing stocks in October, even the surveyers were questioning the respondents' replies "it would be surprising if recent declines in household wealth did not reverse some of the recent gains in optimism in the months ahead." But sure enough, to maintain the magic, UMich consumer confidence rose from November's missed expectations to the highest since Jan 2007 at 93.6. Inflastion expectations for the next year fell from the preliminary to the lowest in over 4 years.

Fed Tightening On Deck After Q3 GDP Soars To 5% On Revisions, Highest Since 2003Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 - 08:51
And just like that Q3 GDP, the one for the quarter ended Sept.30, was revised from 3.9% (which in turn was revised higher from 3.5%) to a mindblowing 5% - the highest print since Q3 2003 when GDP rose by 6.9%. This was above the highest Wall Street forecast of 4.7%, higher even than Joe Lavorgna's. The drivers: unprecedented revisions to Personal Consumption which supposedly rose by 3.2% in Q3 as opposed to the 2.2% prior reported, and 2.5% expected. Consumption accounted for 2.21% of the final 5.0% GDP print: this was the highest since Q4 2010 when it rose 2.8%. In fact, everything was revised higher: fixed investment rose 1.21% compared to the 0.97% reported previously; private inventories were virtually unchanged after allegedly subtracting 0.6% from growth in the original Q3 GDP estimate; net trade was unchanged adding 0.77% to GDP and finally the government boosted GDP a little as well, contributing 0.8%.

Durables Goods Data Ugly Across The Board, Worst Since Polar VortexSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 - 08:41
Against expectations of a jubilant 3% surge in November, Durable Goods Orders slipped 0.7% - the biggest miss since December 2013. Perhaps even more worrisome, YoY Durable Goods Orders rose at a mere 0.3% - the slowest since the Polar Vortex. Across the board the data was a disaster, ex-Transports -0.4% (against expectations of a 1% rise), Cap Goods Order non-defense were unchanged (against expectations of a 1% rise) and shipments rose just 0.2% (missing expectations of a 1.3% rise)... But apart from that, everything's great.

How Walgreen EPS Just Beat Consensus Even As Its Revenues MissedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 - 08:15
So how did Walgreen succeed in boosting its aftertax EPS to beat expectations even as revenues missed expectations, especially with operating income in the quarter virtually unchanged from a year ago? The answer, as shown in the chart below is simple: WAG used the oldest trick in the book, and stretched its effective tax rate for GAAP purposes in the quarter to the lowest it could go.

Greece On The Edge After Second Failed Presidential VoteSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 - 07:17
A week after the Greek Prime Minister, Antonis Samaras, was unable to push through his nominee for president, Stavros Dimas, in a vote in parliament that needed 200 votes to pass, hours ago the second presidential vote took place and just like last week it again failed to secured the needed 200 votes, with just 168 lawmakers voting for the designated appointee. This means that in the third and final voting round next week, on December 29 - a trading day where bad news will propagate like wildfire in the absence of any market liquidity and means Kevin Henry will have to work overtime buying ETFs - New Democracy's Samaras has to find (or bribe) another 12 votes or else Greece is facing a snap election where the anti-bailout/anti-austerity leftist Syriza party is expected to win, and set off a chain of events that may result in Greece being kicked out of the Eurozone at least if the jitters seen during the summer of 2012 are any indication.

Economic Data Bonanza Set To Send Algos Spasming To Recorder HighsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/23/2014 - 06:57
With the wind down of the record 2014 trading slump now in its final days (although judging by volumes throughout the year one may have a difficult time noticing just when the holidays began and ended), the already entertaining zero-liquidity market moves are sure to provide further amusement today in the context of the US economic data bonanza on deck, which includes Durable Goods, GDP, Personal Income and Spending, Richmond Fed, UMich, and New Home Sales. Beat or miss, all of the above are guaranteed to send the S&P to higher recorder highs because in the multiple-expansion euphoria blow-off top phase nobody cares about such trivia as fundamentals or the economy, especially when Japan and Germany are about to monetize all of their gross issuance. Just remember to occasionally keep an eye on the preferred rigging correlation pairs: the USDJPY and the VIX, whose every illiquid jerk will be followed by Citadel & NYFed's algos tic for tic.

Former Airline CEO Claims US Military Shot Down MH370 Near Diego GarciaSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/22/2014 - 23:30
A second senior airline industry source has revealed his belief that there is some sort of conspiracy behind the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. As The Herald Sun reports, Emirates president and CEO Sir Tim Clark made world headlines in October when he revealed his doubts about the fate of the missing plane, which disappeared early in the morning of March 8 this year. Now a second senior airline industry source has voiced his doubts about the fate of the plane, with the even wilder claim that the Boeing 777 may have been shot down by US military personnel who were fearing a September 11-style attack on the US Navy base on Diego Garcia.

Ukraine Central Bank Conned Into Swapping Its Gold For Lead BricksSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/22/2014 - 23:12
The story of Ukraine's corzined gold just got far better, and far, far more bizarre and surreal. As Bloomberg reports, Ukraine opened a criminal probe after several gold bars at the central bank's storage in the southern city of Odessa turned to be painted lead. The latest gold fraud involved a central bank employee passing lead bars covered with golden paint to the storage unit, registering them as gold, the Vesti newspaper reported today, citing an unidentified person with knowledge of the matter in Odessa's police department. In other words, the central bank was actually conned into buying the gold-plated lead.

Demand causes propane prices to spike
With the winter season comes a typical rise in the cost of propane, but one Southwest Montana seller says this is an unusual spike. Ken Weskamp owns Madison River Propane in Belgrade. He has been in the business for more than 20 years and says he has only seen prices spike like his two or three times.
Right now he says propane prices are at $2.40 a gallon in Southwest Montana. That is up 40 cents from last year. Weskamp explains prices are usually determined by the cost of crude oil and demand. December's sub-zero temperatures created a high demand in our area.
He says with these prices, customers are thinking twice about how much they buy.
"People start conserving when prices go up 20 percent. They only budget so much for the winter season, so it is going to impact them drastically. We probably don't do tank fills, we are probably going to see people order a minimum amount until prices start to ease up," said Weskamp.
While prices have spiked, Montana remains below the national average for propane prices. We checked with the U.S. Energy Information Administration. According to their website, at the end of last week the national average for a gallon of propane was right around $2.70 a gallon.

A Gem From This Week's TMS

Before I get to the gem in this week's TMS, let me let any of you newbies here up to date with us JDubs and schooling. In the February 22, 2002 Watchtower, the WTBTS released the article titled "How My Dream Was Fullfilled". It was one of many typical JW stories of a good devout JDub "resisting temptation" and accepting the borg as absolute truth. One of the dillemas of this JW youth was the topic of college. Here's a little excerpt.
"Eventually, in September 1982, I was accepted as a student at a college in Prague, where I studied agronomy. Soon, however, I found that I couldn't care for my college courses properly and at the same time give the attention I desired to Bible study. So I told one of my professors that I was thinking about quitting college. "
FYI according to Wikipedia, agronomy is "the science and technology of using plants for food, fuel, feed, fiber, and reclamation." So a good, growing field. (Pun not intended). And yet, of course, this JDub youth turned down college and eventually became a pioneer yatta yatta.
According to freeminds.org, Jehovah's Witnesses are #30 in a list of percentage of college grads in religious backgrounds. Unitarians came in at #1 with 49.5% (no surprise there), Hindus were #2 at 47%, then the Jews at 46.7%, Agnostics at #7 at 36.3%. JDubs? 4.7% FOUR POINT SEVEN. That's 1.5 million college grad JDubs, not necessarily with doctarates or masters, but with at least a bachelors. 1.5 million, WORLDWIDE. That is an overwhelmingly small number.

Math errors aside, that is pathetically small. With close to half the Unitarians educated with college, how can the witlesses claim to be the most educated in the world? Perhaps if they presume that a theocraptic "education(??)" is superior to a college education.
However, with the coming Greater Depression, theocraptic "skills(??)" aren't going to do jack squat in helping people survive. You are going to need to barter. To barter, you are going to need to develop a skill you can trade for goods and services you need. For instance, you might be able to trade fixing a computer for having someone fix your roof. Or, you might decorate someone's house for Christmas in exchange for food. Or do some maintenance work in exchange for a place to stay. Since when is wasting the time and energy to go door to door spreading a message that most people view as worthless going to get anyone anything useful in exchange?

WTWizard -
Maybe the Watchtower figures that there will always be a need for people to clean toilets, mop floors, and take out the trash. In some small communities in the USA south and midwest, the local JWs have a lock on the janitorial services in town. In some smaller towns in Arkansas, Missouri and Mississippi they have a near monopoly.
While most of us would consider a computer and a decent desk phone as necessary for conducting business, many JW families invest their funds in floor polishers and shop vacuums.
A few years ago, back when Wal-mart was still a relatively small and regional discount retailer, everyone in the local Kingdom Hall in some smaller towns worked in one of their stores as late-night shelf stockers or janitors. That may have changed since Wal-mart has become so much bigger and widespread.
This is not intended to knock JWs that work in any trade - or even to knock Wal-mart (even though they have often earned well-deserved criticism) - but rather to attest to the fact that for many JWs owning your own janitorial service is considered something to aspire to.
That and, of course, a new high-powered floor polisher...

Have a look at the PEW REFORM report of education in the US, JW's are among the WORST educated and consequently the WORST paid.
Other statistics such as divorse are worth looking at also:

"We are the most educated people on the planet"
I heard that said when I was in, and I thought to myself," that doesn't apply to the J.W's I know."
I guess that statement is on a par with :
"We are the happiest people ....."
"We have the truth..."
"God is using this organization... " etc. etc. ad nauseum.

The word most at least is wrong and propably education is wrong term about it. But at least I must say that the variety of themes available ie. through awake magazine is exceptional. If people read those articles, at least general knowledge about different phenomenoms should be raising. It is absolutelly not equivalent (2-3 pages) to specified studies in colleges or universities ofcourse, but spectrum of themes is wider also. I've learned lots of interesting stuff from the awake articles that would not otherwise have been brought to my attention.
All things are not bad, self-righteous statements may very well be.

Well, yes - and I did not mean it in disrespect. Another point to be made about JWs and education is that REAL education is all about teaching people to research ideas and learn to think for themselves. JW "education" is about trying to memorize anything the WTBTS chooses to print at the moment - and to re-memorize it when they decide to change it. Thinking for yourself as a JW is not allowed.

I've heard this statement made by JWs at meetings, as well. Where does this come from? I usually hear it from people who can barely read themselves. I suppose, in the absence of any other information to contradict them, Witnesses will sincerely believe that. Or, quite simply, because they believe they have 'the truth', all other knowledge is irrelevant. By default, they're the smartest; after all, why else are they the only ones who will survive the impending global holocaust? Propaganda technique: "Wise ones will take their stand on Jehovah's side."
This is one of the things that always bothered me even when I believed the doctrine--sweeping, broad statements like that. I always figured we were in such a tiny corner of the world. Where is our collectively brilliant intellect coming from? Awake! magazine? Holy spirit doesn't write those article about the ant, okay? JW information is cobbled together from various outside sources that the ordinary JW would probably be discouraged from reading too much. Given that new vocabulary is pretty rare in the literature, one's intelligence will not significantly improve by reading it. I noticed many an article that had wording that was clearly cut and pasted from a previous article, word for word. The publications often do this, paste a couple of paragraphs in from a previous article.
I've heard it before, but...you can't be the smartest if you're not even allowed to read or study whatever you want. That's just common sense. Even without referencing the repeated skewering of 'higher education', it is clear that that statement has no basis.
