I'll give you a call Dale as time grows closer. Tomorrow off to sunny Bisbee, AZ. Thanks, Mimi
HI Dale, I hope you had great Valentine's Day sales! I am heading to Grand Rapids the first week of May where I will visit Patricia's Chocolate in Grand Haven.

I hope to receive your samples in the mail- I am very happy to send you a check to cover cost or pay however you need me to! Have a great day!
Sincerely, Mimi
that is great Dale. Thanks! Mimi
I don't think she is going down for a while and I'd much rather have the samples sooner than later. i'm expecting a large shipment from one of my providers in a few weeks and If I really like what you have to offer I might reduce my order. Thanks.
Hi Dale, I'd like the larger quantity if doable. I would want to both taste and re-temper and taste to really assess the quality for me. You can either just bill me for cost with the shipment or I can pay you on paypal or pay by credit card. Thank you. I look forward to collaborating more in the future. My assistant Cile is often in Kzoo where her parents reside and I know that she will stop in to say hello and purchase your your confections for us to try.
I am really excited about potential future collaborations!
Regards, Mimi
Hi Dale,
Will you be sending me samples> I'd love it. Thanks.
My address is P O Box 103. Empire, MI 49630 or physical address is 12020 S Leelanau Hwy, Empire. Happy to reimburse you of course. Enjoyed chatting with you! Sincerely, Mimi

text: Fitzgerald was right: The rich are different from you and me. Former Paris Review editor Jonathan Dee's fascinating, frustrating novel The Privileges centers on the improbably fetching, infinitely (and it turns out, illegally) moneyed Morey family. Adam and Cynthia are the college golden couple, and the first of their friends to marry; Dee's grasp of their spiky, loving banter is delicious. But as Adam's career in finance advances exponentially, the family's likability recedes, and their teenage offspring turn to indulgent rich-kid clichés. Dee's luminous prose never falters; he's a master. Alas, the same can't be said for readers' emotional investment. B See all of this week's reviews

In-network, multifunction service assurance verifier with integrated turn-up, monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.
The BV-3100 Verifier is a single integrated instrument that supports all three phases of the IP and Ethernet service lifecycle: service turn-up, monitoring and troubleshooting. It enables operators to not only turn up new services quickly and efficiently, but to also monitor the quality of those services and thus assure a high quality of experience (QoE) for the end user. Carriers can use the BV-3100 to turn up multiple new circuits simultaneously, in addition to measuring the real-time performance of data transport, mobile backhaul, metro Ethernet, VoIP, wireless and video services.
The extremely competitive value and performance of the BV-3100 makes it ideally suited for deployment in a wide variety of service provider and enterprise locations, including metro hubs, regional headends, PoPs, mobile switching centers and data centers.
The BV-3100 is a key part of EXFO's Ethernet One solution for optimizing Ethernet service delivery. In conjunction with BrixNGN Next-Generation Service Assurance Software, the BV-3100 can simultaneously perform monitoring functions across the core and access, while also initiating remote or automated service turn-up tests. The result is a single platform that fulfills the requirements of two or more hardware devices in competing solutions. By initiating turn-up tests from a central location to service endpoints, operators can avoid costly and time-consuming truck rolls. The BV-3100 allows service providers to deploy one device in a central location to perform turn-up testing and then seamlessly evolve to real-time performance monitoring or vice versa—all with minimal capital expenditures.
With unprecedented test scalability to many thousands of locations, the BV-3100 ensures complete end-to-end network visibility without requiring new hardware to accommodate network growth. When combined with the comprehensive reporting and analytics capabilities of BrixWorx and its ability to seamlessly integrate with the operator's OSS, the BV-3100 leverages EXFO's Ethernet One solution to provide unmatched service lifecycle management capability and service assurance functionality.
EXFO is a global provider of converged service assurance solutions that allow the world's largest service providers and enterprises to offer reliable and high-quality experiences in voice, video, data and mobile services to their customers, partners and employees. The company brings a proven heritage of IP expertise unique to the service assurance marketplace, and collaborates closely with its customers and partners to assure the delivery of any IP-based service, over any network, to any endpoint.
EXFO's seamlessly integrated hardware and software products, collectively called the Brix System, are converged service assurance solutions that proactively monitor IP service and application quality. Network operators use the Brix System to guarantee the successful launch and ongoing, profitable operation of their various IP services.
In-network, multifunction service assurance verifier with integrated turn-up, monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.
This application note details the operational and business values of EXFO's BV-3100 solution through an actual use case.
This application note explores TCP throughput testing and introduces EXFO's hardware-optimized EXacTCP methodology on the BV-3100 Verifier.
Measuring and monitoring the end-to-end network and service quality and evaluating the Quality of Experience (QoE) are essential challenges for network operators in order to retain existing customers and win new ones.
As Ethernet is making headway into service providers' networks, Carrier Ethernet testing becomes essential. With its additional operation, administration and maintenance capabilities, Ethernet can now be viewed as a carrier-grade networking technology.
With end-user customers embracing the cloud paradigm, service providers now have to deliver on their promise of high-quality service-level agreements (SLAs) as they are looking to capitalize on this new source of revenues.

Match report
Scroll above left to Photostream for match photos; click on the Statistics tab for stats. Scroll down to read managers' reaction.
Romelu Lukaku's two goals lifted West Bromwich Albion to the 40-point mark for the campaign as they overcame Sunderland to register their first home win for two months.
The on-loan Chelsea striker reached 12 goals for the season - all of which have come in the Barclays Premier League - firstly from the penalty spot and then when charging down a clearance from Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.
The Black Cats set up a tense finish through Stephane Sessegnon's reply but Albion held on to keep up their challenge for a European place.
Lukaku is showing the potential to develop into a top-class forward and he received a standing ovation when substituted four minutes from time and replaced by Peter Odemwingie.
The home side were worthy of their success after a scrappy start, with midfield duo Youssouf Mulumbu and James Morrison also making telling contributions.
Sunderland had settled into the game well and home goalkeeper Ben Foster was the first to make a save. The former England international held on to a near-post header from Black Cats captain John O'Shea from an inswinging Adam Johnson corner.
The woodwork also came to West Brom's rescue after 25 minutes when Steven Fletcher cut in from the left and saw his low shot beat the dive of Foster and hit the far post.
Danny Graham, making his first start for Sunderland following his move from Swansea City, had a close-range chance almost instantly but Foster blocked his low half-volley.
The hosts responded and Mulumbu headed wide from close range after attacking a probing Liam Ridgewell centre. Lukaku had the ball in the net after 28 minutes after receiving the ball from Morrison but the whistle had already gone for a foul on the Scotland international by Sebastian Larsson.
However, Lukaku was not to be denied and after 35 minutes put West Brom ahead from the penalty spot for his 11th goal of the season.
Craig Gardner was adjudged to have handled a cross from former Birmingham team-mate Ridgewell and up stepped Lukaku to send Mignolet the wrong way from the spot.
Though Long headed over at the end of the first half after connecting with a Morrison cross, Sunderland started the second half on the offensive and Sessegnon had a shot cleared off the line by Mulumbu following a deep corner from Larsson.
But Lukaku continued to trouble the Sunderland defence and a rising shot stung the palms of Mignolet after good play by Chris Brunt.
Titus Bramble produced a last-ditch tackle to block Morrison's close-range attempt as West Brom searched for the second goal - and with 16 minutes left Lukaku doubled their lead.
The Belgium striker's perseverance forced Bramble into a mis-timed back pass and he then charged down Mignolet's clearance which flew into the net.
Sunderland hit back and in the 79th minute Sessegnon curled a shot past Foster and over the head of Ridgewell on the line to reduce the arrears, but Steve Clarke's side finished the stronger and were unlucky to see Mignolet keep out a Brunt volley while Odemwingie flashed a shot inches wide after replacing Lukaku, who had left the ground to a standng ovation.
West Brom head coach Steve Clarke: "Lukaku is in a really rich vein of form. You could see that with his second goal, when you're playing that well you get a little bit of luck. Physically, he's a great specimen, but he has quick feet for a big man. It's been good for us, good for Rom, and probably good for Chelsea as well."
Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill: "I felt we should have got something out of the game. That's the last three matches we've played where we shouldn't have been beaten. Their penalty gave them big lift. They got the help of a bizarre second goal. But we were never out of the game.
"We should've scored two or three times before West Brom's second goal. Lukaku was very strong and he looks like he has a good future ahead of him. He was a handful."

Seagate Stock Slides on Downbeat Forecast (Update 1)
This story has been updated with interview comments from Seagate CFO Pat O'Malley and after-hours share price.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Seagate (STX) easily exceeded Wall Street's estimates. Still, investors were less than impressed with its outlook.
The hard-drive maker reported revenue of $3.7 billion, up from $3.2 billion in the prior year's quarter, comfortably above Wall Street's estimate of $3.58 billion. Seagate sold 58 million hard drives during the quarter, compared to 47 million in the same period last year.
Earlier this month, Seagate said it would report revenue of at least $3.6 billion, up from a previous forecast of about $3.5 billion.Excluding items, Seagate earned $1.38 a share, compared to $1.32 a share in the prior year's quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of $1.27 a share. "Seagate is executing well in an environment where customer demand forecasting is challenging," said Seagate CEO Steve Luczo, in a statement released after the market close. The company's guidance, however, weighed heavily on its shares in extended trading. On the conference call to discuss its earnings, Seagate forecast revenue between $3.25 billion and $3.45 billion. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for revenue of $3.48 billion. "We're trying to give a conservative outlook, because our customers are giving us conservative input," said Pat O'Malley, the Seagate CFO, during a phone interview with TheStreet. Even with "muted visibility" from customers, though, Seagate will stay within its target margin, he added. The company expects to be at the low end of its target margin range of 27% to 32% during its fiscal third quarter. O'Malley said that the hard drive market has been under pressure from the PC slowdown and the recent upheaval of Microsoft' (MSFT) Windows 8, but noted that Seagate's flexible enough to cope with demand fluctuations. "We're going to try to align ourselves with what the end business wants," he said. "If it's flat, we will deal with that - if it's up, we will go with that." Seagate shares tumbled 5.24% to $35.45 in extended trading. The Cupertino, Calif.-based firm exited the quarter with cash and investments of about $2 billion. Seagate also announced an investment in Flash specialist Virident Systems, part of a deal to jointly deliver Flash-storage technology to enterprises. Seagate will also appoint one member to the Virident board as part of the agreement. -- Written by James Rogers in New York Follow @jamesjrogers >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Recalculating impact with new, big data9 Nov 2012 Filed under: Research Productivity
Part II - Interviews with David Main (Swets) and Dr Victor Henning (Mendeley)
The importance of statistics
The real value of the data contained within Mendeley's extensive database resides in the organic filtering that takes place when each user uploads their citations and annotations. With reading and sharing information sitting alongside this the Mendeley Institutional Edition (MIE) begins to paint a detailed and precise picture of the modern research landscape. As more users join the platform, so the data possibilities increase as well.
"Big data has become a hot topic in our industry lately, but the amount of data contained within Mendeley is quite staggering," says David Main. "It truly is a gold mine of usage and trending information. Extracting that data and presenting it in a digestible fashion is where the complexity comes in. Together, we decided to focus on initially giving libraries a deeper visibility and understanding of their own content use and the impact of their institution's research output."
"The statistics at the heart of the MIE provide valuable information to librarians and research directors but it's important to us that researchers' don't think of this as another 'Big Brother' tool where institutions are simply spying on the activities of researchers," says Victor Henning. "Particularly when judging the impact of research across the Mendeley community."
Universities, and indeed individual authors, are under increasing pressure to demonstrate outreach of their research. As such, Journal Impact Factor analysis is currently essential to the journal collection management process for most libraries. Measuring that impact is something that relies heavily on the amount of citations a journal receives.
"The problem with how Impact Factor metrics are created at the moment is simply the amount of time it takes to accumulate data," says Henning. "In many scientific disciplines, for example, everything from what grants are given, to who gets tenure or who is employed can depend upon whether you have been published in Impact Factor journals like Science and Nature. Currently there's at least a two year gap between when an article is published and when a citation is picked up. The statistics we provide eliminate that delay and provide instant, real-time feedback on the readership and usage of research."
Mendeley are looking to provide an alternative measure of impact, one that takes its information directly from the digital environmenthat scholars and researchers are actively using. Mendeley users can uncover the breadth and depth of a paper's impact among the research community as it is happening.
"Mendeley is committed to streamlining the workflow of researchers and expanding the reach and impact of their work. We are committed to both researchers and their institutions", says David Main. "The data stored in Mendeley and presented through the MIE can bring benefits to both sides. Being able to measure the real-time impact of an author's paper could potentially improve the careers and reputations of many of today's researchers and in turn their institutions. Clearly, having just the current impact factors is insufficient; just look at all the talk and discussion around alt-metrics. A core part of what we're looking to do is provide libraries with as much ammunition as they need to validate the content purchases they make and help identify additional content that their researchers require."

The CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXM) is a benchmark index designed to track the performance of a hypothetical buy-write strategy on the S&P 500 Index.
Announced in April 2002, the BXM Index was developed by the CBOE in cooperation with Standard & Poor's. To help in the development of the BXM Index, the CBOE commissioned Professor Robert Whaley to compile and analyze relevant data from the time period from June 1988 through December 2001. Data on daily BXM prices now is available from June 30, 1986, to the present time (see below). The BXM is a passive total return index based on (1) buying an S&P 500 stock index portfolio, and (2) "writing" (or selling) the near-term S&P 500 Index (SPXSM) "covered" call option, generally on the third Friday of each month. The SPX call written will have about one month remaining to expiration, with an exercise price just above the prevailing index level (i.e., slightly out of the money). The SPX call is held until expiration and cash settled, at which time a new one-month, near-the-money call is written. Please visit the BXM FAQ for more information about the construction of the index.
Experienced investors can ask their brokers about the possibility of engaging in an S&P 500 buy-write strategy by investing in stocks and SPX options.

In February 2012 the Asset Consulting Group published a six-page paper -- "An Analysis of Index Option Writing for Liquid Enhanced Risk-Adjusted Returns". Key findings of the paper include:
For more information, please see the six-page paper and press release.
In 2006 Callan Associates, an investment services consulting firm, published a new study on the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index, with an analysis of performance from June 1988 through August 2006. Their study builds upon the earlier studies done by Professor Robert Whaley (now at Vanderbilt University) and by Ibbotson Associates. The new Callan Associates study had several key findings, including:
Click here for the study by Callan Associates.
In September 2004 the Ibbotson Associates consulting firm issued a case study on the investment strategy represented by the CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXMSM). The study was three-fold: 1) assess risk-adjusted performance of the BXM; 2) evaluate the role of this covered-call strategy in a portfolio; and 3) establish if an investor can implement the strategy. Please visit these links to see a 4-page paper with a summary of highlights, a press release and the 35-page study.
A "Buy-Write" strategy generally is considered to be an investment strategy in which an investor buys a stock or a basket of stocks, and also writes covered call options that correspond to the stock or basket of stocks.
Buy-Write strategies provide option premium income that can help cushion downside moves in an equity portfolio, but Buy-Writes often under perform stocks in rising markets. Thus, some Buy-Write strategies significantly outperformed stocks in 2000 when stock prices fell, but Buy-Writes tended to under perform stocks in the years 1995 - 1998 when the S&P 500 rose by more than 20% per year.
Buy-Write strategies have an added attraction to some investors in that Buy-Writes can help lessen the overall volatility in many portfolios.
The CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite IndexSM (ticker symbol BXM) is a benchmark index designed to reflect the return on a portfolio that consists of a long position in the stocks in the S&P 500 index and a short position in an S&P 500 (SPX) call option. The historical return series for the BXM Index begins June 30, 1986.
BXM Methodology (updated in November 2010)
BXM News Releases in:
CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXMSM)
The CBOE S&P 500 BuyWrite Index (BXMSM) is designed to represent a proposed hypothetical buy-write strategy. Like many passive indexes, the BXM Index does not take into account significant factors such as transaction costs and taxes and, because of factors such as these, many or most investors should be expected to underperform passive indexes. Investors attempting to replicate the BXM Index should discuss with their brokers possible timing and liquidity issues. Transaction costs and taxes for a buy-write strategy such as the BXM could be significantly higher than transaction costs for a passive strategy of buying-and-holding stocks.

GE Seeks Patent on Using Social Media to Detect Power OutagesPosted: Thursday, Apr 17, 2014 @ 8:00 am | Written by Steve Brachmann | Comments Off
Posted in: Authors, Companies We Follow, General Electric, IP News, IPWatchdog.com Articles, Social Media, Steve Brachmann, Technology & Innovation
When it comes to global technological innovation, there are few companies in the world that produce the level of intellectual property of General Electric, a multinational conglomerate in energy, technology infrastructure, consumer appliances and more. In the United States, this company is involved with many energy infrastructure projects, including the installation of hundreds of miles of natural gas pipeline across North America/a>. Even though the company is more than 100 years old, General Electric recently beat out many other tech firms at the Shorty Awards, which recognizes excellence in brand use in social media. A major manufacturer itself, General Electric is posed to help usher in a new future of prototyping and factory manufacture through the use of 3D printing.
As we get deeper into the month of April, the Companies We Follow series here at IPWatchdog wanted to take a little time to review the databases of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for inventions from this corporation. Over the past month or two, we've found many intriguing patent applications and issued patents describing a wide array of new technologies. We're noticing some real activity on behalf of GE regarding medical and wind energy generation, among other developments.
Today's featured patent application would protect a novel system of addressing power outages when a utility network doesn't receive notification of the event directly from customers. This system allows a utility network to scan social media posts for relevant information about outages, and then turn those posts into instructions for maintenance crews. We also discuss a few inventions related to wind turbines, including a new method for measuring lightning strike damage on wind turbine blades, and a couple of patent applications filed to protect medical monitoring technologies.

Hubbardton Forge - The Modern American Blacksmiths.
Hubbardton Forge, American manufacturer of hand forged iron lighting fixtures, first fired up the Forge in a drafty old barn in the town of Hubbardton in 1974. The Vermont based company scavenged through New England gathering rusting anvils, trip hammers, swage blocks and other discarded tools of the trade in order to revive the nearly forgotten craft of hand-forging raw metal into functional art. Today, they have established themselves as a company whose products are recognizable for their quality, timelessness, and functionality.
Hubbardton Forge's designs are classic, elegant, and original. Form and function are inseparable in every piece. From heavier gauge metals, custom turnings and superior internal components, to environmentally sound powder coated finishes, Hubbardton Forge strives to create structural integrity ... products that will endure.
All Hubbardton Forge products include a lifetime warranty. See details.

Chase is about to update their Marriott Rewards credit cards again. Their present features will still be available until this coming Monday.
What I'm watching closely is what will happen to the sign up bonus. The last time Chase updated the cards, they kept the 50,000 sign up bonus for the premier version but reduced the bonus for the regular card from 50,000 to 25,000 points. At this moment, the 50,000 sign up bonus is achieved just after the first purchase on the card. If they keep the sign up bonus the same, my fear is that they impose some form of spending requirements.
As far as features goes, my feeling is that they will more or less remain the same. If it does change, it will probably be for the better. Chase and Hyatt recently upgrade the Hyatt credit card with new features and if anything, any changes would be positive and retroactive.
If you have always wanted to get a Marriott card, perhaps this is the time to get the premier version with the 50,000 sign up bonus since they is some chance that the sign up bonus may be reduced.

Taser police take down knifeman outside Buckingham Palace
Daily Mail UK
The moment Taser police take down knifeman outside Buckingham Palace: Terror at Changing of the Guard as man breaks security cordon
Holding a blade to his own throat, this was the moment a knifeman brought chaos to the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace yesterday.
The middle-aged man walked through crowds of tourists clutching two large kitchen knives before police surrounded him and used a Taser stun gun to disarm him.
As a policeman shouted a warning call of 'Taser, Taser, Taser' to his colleagues, the knifeman lunged forward, brandishing a six-inch blade in a series of swipes, before falling to the floor as he was stunned by the electrical charge.

CALGARY (Bloomberg) -- Oil and natural gas wells in Canada are expected to fall 1.5 % in 2014 as increased use of hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling reduces the number of wells producers require.
Canadian drilling next year will total 10,800 wells versus the 10,960 expected this year, the Petroleum Services Association of Canada said in an e-mail.
"Large-scale use of these kinds of technologies is creating a trend to fewer wells overall," Mark Salkeld, CEO of the Calgary-based industry group, said in the statement.
The association, which represents about 260 oilfield- service companies, forecasts gas prices will average $3 per thousand cu ft next year and oil will cost about $95 a barrel.

Legendre is a lunar impact crater that is located near the eastern limb of the Moon. Just to the southwest is the crater Adams. To the northwest is Palitzsch and the prominent Petavius. The rim of Legendre is worn and eroded, with many small craterlets along the rim and the sides of the outer wall. A small crater approximately 25 kilometers in diameter lies across the southern rim. There is also a narrow gap in the northeast rim that provides a valley leading into the interior. The crater floor is relatively flat, but is marked by multiple small craterlets.

Hot tub installation can be a challenging process, so it is best to be prepared for the challenges ahead of time. The best tip for hot tub installation is to research the base requirements as well as the electrical requirements before beginning installation, and to make sure the tub will fit in the space chosen. Hot tubs are extremely heavy and cumbersome, so before hot tub installation, one should be sure he or she can move the tub into place; if help is needed, the tub can be professionally delivered and/or installed, or to have enough people around to help out.
One should be sure his or her house is wired for the hot tub before hot tub installation occurs. Most full sized tubs are 240 volt models, and some older houses may need special wiring done to meet the requirements. Wiring should be done by a trained professional; this step is perhaps one of the only steps in installation that a typical homeowner cannot do on his or her own. Once the proper wiring is in place, the base must be constructed for the tub.
Hot tub installation must take place on a solid base. The most common bases are concrete slabs, wooden decks, or spa pads. A concrete slab will take a significant amount of time and preparation to install, so one should be sure to account for this before installing the tub. The slab must harden completely before the weight of the tub is placed upon it; if poured properly, the concrete slab is by far the most durable base. A wooden deck must have appropriate supports underneath it before hot tub installation. Posts secured in concrete footings must be present under the location of the hot tub. Spa pads are removable, modular pads made from composite materials that are easy to install. They can also help prevent heat loss underneath the tub, but they are not a permanent structure like a concrete slab.
If hot tub installation is taking place indoors, ventilation will become an issue. One should be sure to include a ventilation system in the installation plans to prevent mold and steam build-up. The materials surrounding the tub should be resistant to mold and mildew, and if wood is used, it should be treated to resist rot and buckling. One should also be sure to note what is on the floor beneath the hot tub should a leak in the tub occur.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a rare disease that, like the more familiar diabetes mellitus, causes frequent urination. Interestingly, the "insipidus" in its name means "without taste," which refers to the flavor of the urine associated with DI. "Mellitus," which means "honey," also describes the taste of the urine associated with that condition, which is (so we are told) sweet.

Another red flag about the obesity epidemic in young people has been raised after researchers found that youth with type 2 have significantly higher rates of microalbuminuria (protein in the urine) and high blood pressure than youth with type 1. They say this is the case even though type 2 youth have lower A1Cs and a shorter diabetes duration.

Type 2 diabetes can be predicted by increases in microalbuminuria (a measure of protein in the urine). In addition, microalbuminuria, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease develop together over a period of more than two decades, leading researchers from the Framingham Offspring Study in Massachusetts to believe that the three conditions have a common cause.

Short-term treatment with vitamins C and E lowers the urinary albumin excretion rate (AER) in people with type 2 diabetes who have micro/macroalbuminuria, according to a team of Danish researchers. In the September 2001 issue of Diabetic Medicine, they suggest that further long-term, large-scale studies of this albuminuria-reducing treatment modality are needed.
