Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson: 'We See Dead People'
It is no secret that Hollywood is a big cereal town. Full of fruits, nuts, and flakes, you know? Two of the latest big names who decided to uphold that reputation are Goldie Hawn and her daughter Kate Hudson.
Just in time for Halloween, these two decided that TMZ hadn't been giving them enough attention lately — so Kate hit up Alan Carr's Chatty Man Show in the UK.
That's when she decided to tell the world that she once saw "a ghost of a woman with no face." (No word on how close said woman was to the nearest plastic surgeon's office.) Read more

Large fire crews stand by as a precaution.
UPDATE: 9:26 p.m. - Emergency crews have pulled out of the area and the pipe was sealed.
At about 4:30 Tuesday afternoon, Los Angeles County fire crews were called to Placerita Canyon Rd. in Newhall to the site of a gas leak.
A 4-5 inch gas line was found to be compromised and four full fire crews stood by as a precaution, along with a Hazardous Materials crew as Gas Company workers fixed the pipe well into the evening hours.
No fire or immediate danger was originally suspected. However, as a precaution, approximately 70 homes were issued a voluntary evacuation notice. Five homeowners decided to leave, the rest stayed in their homes.
The incident occurred on Placerita Canyon Road between Dudley Dr. and Choke Cherry, just east of the Masters College.
The Masters College was not in the evacuation area and was never considered to be in any danger.

Hey, to each his own.
I think other people might appreciate my analysis.
I am not a mechanic, so do whatever you want with your DISA.
If your DISA is flapping around all broken, or has cracks in it, by all means, replace it.
Mine wasn't. It was still solid after 120k.
If you want to throw money at stuff that isn't really broken, go for it.
In fact, that's just what I did.
I can afford it, and want to learn small repairs, so I just replaced it before I understood what was going on.
I believed whatever I read about this DISA issue, b/c I didn't know any better (I am just learning about BMWs)
To me, I probably spent $170 on a part that wasn't anywhere close to being broken.
(Like looking inside the intake, and seeing the pick goes right back with 1 push)
So, all I suggested was that people actually CHECK their DISA before just throwing money at a problem that doesn't exist in THEIR car. (Like I did!)
I am sure Gary would say the same. ANY expert BMW guy will tell you the #1 rule is not to throw money cluelessly at the car.
Also, I am fairly certain my DISA was original, as I have all the service papers from 65k to 120k.
I think this is a valuable contribution to this forum (whose main purpose is to save owners money, by spreading knowledge and experience)
That is what I have done. Frankly, you come off as slightly brainwashed, and just believing everything you read.
I spent the money and played it safe. Sounds like that's your plan as well. No hard feelings, and good luck.

Econobox, OEM DISA = ticking timebomb, just like the cooling system.
Hope it won't catch you with your pants down on a long trip.
I have a new DISA in my car (changed last summer), and I will still buy the kit to retrofit the old unit, which was looking OK-ish. The flapper had about 1/8" turn slop, and the pin started to fall out. That's enough for me.
Looking on different forums (and I asked also on different forums) for the M54B30 engine, all the people who experienced the DISA failure, it happened at around the 90-100k mark.
If Gary would have been around earlier, I would have saved some $$ with his fix. Now, I will still buy the DISA kit, just like I changed the cooling system, which was looking great by eyballing it. Same with the Vanos - I changed the seals.
I never had CEL and I don't want to see those pesky lights.
As you said, to each its own. This is not throwing $$$ at problems that are not existing. This is throwing $$$ at problematic parts that will fail when you will need the car the most. And trust me: it's better to change a part that is known to fail, than to take the chance and wait until it fails. Because some of those failures can take - unfortunately - the engine with it.

Econobox, I agree that it's worth discussing the pro's and con's of replacing parts that might fail but haven't yet, but when we take a position, we should do our best to avoid spreading misconceptions. Here's the problem I, and maybe a few others in this thread have, with what you said in your post #186:
"I'm not even convinced it was a problem b/c of the pictured recess that would trap the pin.To me, this sounds like you're discounting, if not dismissing, the possibility of the pin falling into the engine and that you're asserting it would just get trapped in some benign spot where it could easily be retrieved. You didn't qualify your statement as an inexpert opinion in any way. As you yourself later acknowledged, the pin has in fact fallen out of its housing and caused serious damage inside the cylinder. Maybe you didn't mean to dismiss the possibility originally, but that's kind of how it came across to me and why I posted the photos. I was concerned that others would draw an incorrect conclusion that the possibility was so remote that it was inconsequential, when in fact we have pretty good photographic evidence that it poses a serious risk.
BMW--giving new meaning to the phrase "disposable income."
In my amateur opinion, it would take a lot more than a loose pinhead at the end of a sturdy DISA b/c it has nowhere to go.
I'd love to see the actual DISA unit of those who experienced catastrophic failure with the pin.
I bet they all had disintegrated DISA housings, in addition to a loose pin.
Also, I don't need to qualify myself as this or that. This is an internet forum.
Everything is an opinion and it is up to the reader to decide what he believes, and what is delirious rubbish.
You can claim you are Buddah, for all anyone cares. Doesn't mean you are.
The entire DISA panic of 2012 is based on, say, 15 internet examples? 20? Is that fair? The same ONE photo of the pitted piston keeps getting passed around.
Well, you need to look at proportions. Hypothetically speaking, what if 20 out of 1,500,000 DISAs failed, and all 20 reported it on this internet forum?
Hypothetically speaking, that would be an actual failure rate of .001%. The reader should be aware of such a hypothetical percentage when making his decision.
Do you see where I am coming from? Not the 100% self-reported failures in a forum.

Where did all the love go?
Actually Econobox has a good point regarding the pin. It is held captive unless either the pin it self breaks, or the valve support frameworks breaks, both of which are probably pretty rare. The reason I designed the kit was because of the OEM design's poor choice of materials which cause self destructive wear. The kit was designed to be a one time fix for the wear problem at a cost less than that of a new unit that would just fail again. I figured as long as I was doing a redesign, why not make it impossible for even the unlikely to occur. That is why the new design has everything secured from outside the housing and is just a little added icing on the cake.
Thanks again everyone!
Look what I bought for $100.00. Any body in PA with a pick-up truck heading to MI in the near future?

As you said, you are new to this. Some of us are not (I am newly registered on this Forum, but I have read it for years). You will learn over time that when a problem starts getting reported on here, it is highly likely that it is a widespread issue. you are free to ignore the advice, but it is a bit out of line to dismiss it altogether. You have a new DISA now. Your old unit was working, but honestly, you were at risk. For some of us, spending money to have some peace of mind is not a problem. In fact, it is welcome knowledge. You seem to be slightly pissed that you read a few posts, and bought a new DISA based on that advice. The truth is, you should have looked at yours before buying. Not to mention, your description makes it sound like you were in the early stages of failure. You should be happy that you now have some peace of mind for the next 40-60k miles, and not dismissing this as a non-issue. You will learn these things over time, possibly the hard way. I do hope you have listened to the advice to get a complete cooling system averhaul, if you are not sure it has already been done. I have read many threads written by people who wished they had listened to that advice. Just be happy that you own a car whose problem areas have been so well documented and have the benefit of years of previous experience to refer to. Owners of other brands don't have anything close to what is available to BMW owners.
Well put!
Glad we have this debate. We are all the wiser for it.
And yes, I have a new cooling system in my car (installed 30k miles ago)
Ordered the improved DISA from Gary. Just waiting for it to arrive so I can install it. I will be cleaning the ICV and replacing the CVV and hoses as well.
Yeah, when I pulled my DISA there was no DISA hype on this or any other forums. It was sporadically brought up here and there - then somebody made a connection that 2 distinct lean codes have a chance bigger than 50% to be a failed DISA (codes are P0171 & P0174). These codes point to failed O2 sensors - both. But here is the deal: it's very rare for BOTH O2 sensors to fail simultanously.
So back on topic - I pulled my DISA, had some flop in the flapper and the pin was sticking out. To me that's not normal. Could that unit still work? sure. Not like a new one, but once some wear is there (the flop) this will help in self distructing the DISA. Once the arch that holds the flapper breaks, or the bottom plastic part (plastic "guide"), the steel pin will end up in the engine. The plastic pieces probably will not damage too bad the pistons or cylinders. The steel pin will.

The main problem, and main reason for the kit is this:
The pin has nothing to do with anything unless there is a total failure that causes pieces to go through the motor. How would replacing the pin solve the loose flapper valve that fails to close, causes SES codes to be set, rough idle and decreased low end torque?
Discounting the above, the are several reasons why a plastic pin wouldn't be a good idea. If you would really like me to post them I will; but the more I read your posts the more I can't help but get the opinion that your ojective is to be negative for the sake of being negative, rather than engaging in a meaningful conversation.

Sorry for the last post, I broke my own rule about making negative posts. After hundreds of hours invested in this project, design reviews, custom fixturing, sourcing titanium, fatigue testing, etc, having someone suggest that a plastic pin would accomplish the same thing kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Sorry Econobox.
OK now for an update:
Everyone that ordered a 3.0L kit, your kit will ship Wed the 29th. Thanks to the leap year I still made it by the end of the month.
The 2.5L kits still need to have the fixturing made and will ship probably 1st of next week. I'm not sure if I have any pre-orders on them, if I do I apologize that they will be a few days late.
Anyone who has been waiting to order until the titanium hardware was ready can now order.
Thanks again everyone for the support. It's been a lot of work and extra hours but I am proud of how it all turned out. I would feel as comfortable putting the finished parts in a display case as I do putting them into a dirty intake manifold.

Just ordered a 3.0 kit. Not sure if I made the cut for the batch to be shipped tomo...err today.
I had no idea the DISA valve could ruin your motor until tonight. I decided to order one quickly.
My car has 120k miles and I have never checked out the DISA valve. I might go pull it tomorrow. I've been spooked by the posts here.

I can't wait to receive mine so I can install it along with a new CCV and hoses. I'll be busy once all my parts arrive.
Ordered mine last night. The product looks great and the R&R seems to be of high quality. I'll be glad if it's all that it appears.

Hey everyone I need to clarify a problem with our Paypal email address:
I have received two phone calls this week complaining that I have not responded to email messages that were sent to me using the email address imbedded in the 'Paypal payment confirmation' email message. Unfortunately I never received the messages because that address has not been used for two years due to a change in service providers. I had deleted the address from our Paypal profile a long time ago but it was somehow still attached to our outgoing messages generated from within Paypal. The problem has been corrected and I apologize to anyone who may have tried to contact me through that address and did not get a reply. It makes me wonder how many messages I have missed over the last two years.

One more thing:
I have received several emails asking whether the 3.0L kits were sold out after filling the back orders. I have also received several emails asking how much the kit costs and where to purchase it.

June 18 (Bloomberg) -- Asian currencies declined this week, led by the biggest five-day drop in Indonesia's rupiah this year, as concern that Greece will default on its debt reduced demand for emerging-market assets.
The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index of regional stocks fell to its lowest level in almost three months yesterday as overseas investors sold $1.5 billion more equities than they bought this week in South Korea, Taiwan and Thailand, exchange data showed. European Union finance ministers will meet tomorrow after they failed to agree to a German-led push for bondholders to shoulder part of the cost of a new aid package for Greece this week.
"The main driver for the decline in Asian currencies has been the unfolding European debt crisis," said Mirza Baig, a Singapore-based currency strategist at Deutsche Bank AG.
The rupiah slid 0.9 percent this week to 8,596 per dollar in Jakarta yesterday, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Malaysia's ringgit lost 0.4 percent to 3.0315 and the Philippine peso weakened 0.7 percent to 43.60.
The Bloomberg-JPMorgan Asia Dollar Index, which tracks the region's 10 most-active currencies excluding the yen, advanced 0.1 percent this week. It touched 117.85 on June 16, the lowest level since May 26. Jean-Claude Juncker, who leads the group of euro-area finance ministers, was cited in the German newspaper Tagesspiegel as saying a "hard haircut" for investors in Greek securities would risk contagion to other European countries.
Finance Minister Fired
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou fired his finance minister in a Cabinet overhaul yesterday aimed at fending off a party rebellion and ensuring the passage of austerity measures needed for a bailout.
"Concern about global growth and the euro debt issue is all coming together and weighing on investors' minds," said Prakriti Sofat, an economist at Barclays Capital in Singapore.
Thailand's baht touched its weakest level in more than three months yesterday on concern elections slated for July 3 will spark protests. The Thai vote will pit Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's Democrat party against the Pheu Thai party led by Yingluck Shinawatra, the sister of Thaksin Shinawatra who was ousted in a 2006 coup.
The baht dropped 0.6 percent to 30.57 per dollar this week and reached 30.66 yesterday, the lowest level since Feb. 28.
"When you closely follow the situation surrounding the Thai election, you see some news and comments that raise concern about potential unrest," said Kozo Hasegawa, a currency trader at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. in Bangkok.
Elsewhere, South Korea's won rose 0.2 percent to 1,081.50 per dollar this week and Singapore's currency dropped 0.2 percent to S$1.2346, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Taiwan's dollar slipped 0.6 percent to NT$28.95 and India's rupee declined 0.3 percent to 44.87.

Roy Keane: It was a privilege to play for Sir Alex Ferguson
Manchester United legend Roy Keane spoke to presenter Adrian Chiles about his up-and-down relationship with "great" ex-boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
"It's always sad to see a great manager leave the game, but I think he's made the right choice," Keane said, after admitting that he wasn't surprised to hear the news of Fergie's exit.
"I was obviously very lucky to have played under him, and privileged that he brought me to the club… he generally got it right – he might have made one or two mistakes, particularly I think with me towards the end, but it takes nothing away from the fact, as I said, it was a privilege to play for him."
Keane also dismissed Fergie's infamous 'hairdryer treatment' as more of a media gimmick than a reality that he lived in fear of. "This hairdryer business, it never concerned me!"

Review by
Cam from Baton Rouge, LA
I would not recommend this product because I been having problems with it since I got it. After awhile it sends a high pitch beeping noise or signal through the sub and then the amp goes into safety mode. I've sent it back to the manufacturer to get checked out and nothing was found. The problem is still happing. My wiring and sub seem fine so the only other thing I can think of is the amp. Other than that, it works fine.

Jason Cherkis and Zach Carter of Huffington Post put together this story from the University of California at San Francisco's Legacy Tobacco Documents library: Mitt Romney's Bain Made Millions On Big Tobacco In U.S., Russia
Romney has also said that Russia is the "number one geopolitical foe" of the United States. It seems that this is meaningless as long as there's money to be made from Russia. Or was this part of a secret plan to make Russia a weaker "geopolitical foe"?
Update on October 16: The same two authors have published another story about the United States' most prominent anti-smoker: Mitt Romney's Bain Helped Philip Morris Get U.S. High Schoolers Hooked On Cigarettes

Dear Students, Colleagues and Friends of Naugatuck Valley Community College,
It is a joy to come together to welcome another academic year. This morning our community partners, fellow college and university presidents and elected officials have joined our NVCC family to celebrate achievements, as recorded in our Final Report for Strategic Plan 2010-2013, and to pledge their support and encouragement as we embark on another exciting and promising journey: The launching of Toward a Splendid College: Naugatuck Valley Community College's Strategic Plan for 2013-2016. Thank you all for being here today. I offer very special thanks to Mayor Robert Mezzo, Mayor Neil O'Leary, Provost James Troup and Prof. Ron Picard for their remarks this morning.
The new academic year brings with it the promise of continued engagement and rewarding teaching and learning experiences. I am very grateful to so many colleagues on campus, in particular, our colleagues in Student Services and our Danbury Center for their significant recruitment efforts that have brought sustained enrollment at NVCC and significant growth in our Danbury Center. As of last evening, we have a headcount of 7,312 and an FTE of 4,389. We have sustained our growth of the past five years, a remarkable feat in light of the fantastic increase in awards at commencement. I thank so many here for your hard work and commitment. Our students have benefited from the intelligence and generosity of the faculty, staff and administration. Mil gracias.
I take this opportunity to offer a warm welcome to Oonya Kempadoo, our Fulbright-Scholar-in-Residence for academic year 2013-2014. We are very fortunate to have Oonya who will contribute richly to the fabric of culture on our campus and to our classrooms. We will be honoring Oonya in an official welcome reception, scheduled for October 16 at 4:30 pm, immediately preceding our first Confluencia gathering of the year. Please join me today, however, in a hand of applause to say gracias to Oonya for coming to us. Oonya, please stand up and be recognized.
Additionally, we typically introduce newly appointed faculty and staff at this meeting. Because we are launching our strategic plan and so many have busy schedules, we will forgo announcements by name, as that has already been done in our Weekly Bulletins this summer, but I do ask all newly appointed faculty, staff and administrators to stand up and be recognized. Thank you for being with us.
As you have experienced, we are organized in multiple ways to support our students and our expectation is that they will achieve their goals and be successful. Our final report for the 2010-2013 strategic plan speaks to a number of very significant outcomes in the past three years, here are some highlights, you can read about these and other results in our Final Report, being distributed today:
Provost Troup will be speaking about our Toward a Splendid College: NVCC Strategic Plan for 2013-2016, as will many of you as you join discussion tables later on in the program. Anna Pond, strategic planner extraordinaire and Wally Kostrzewa are to be thanked for their intelligent and thoughtful contributions to the plans. The consultation process for the drafting of our strategic plan for the next three years yielded overwhelming support for our continuing to embrace our original five goals, as they have served us well, and embracing the title, "Toward a Splendid College", signifies our understanding that we have embarked on a journey, far from complete but certainly rich and rewarding. I affirm and celebrate our five significant goals, perhaps you can read them with me, you will find them on page 2 under NVCC Goals and Initiatives of our new Strategic Plan:
As you are aware, Dr. Gregory W. Gray, the new President of the CT Board of Regents, has engaged our system in the creation of a plan that would guide our work together as a system and would serve as a document that would be used to secure resources and funding for our 17 institutions. The presidents of the community colleges are working on a draft proposed plan for the community colleges, and to that end, I have met with our Cabinet and with the members of the Academic Council to ask for their support and recommendations by mid-September at the latest. All of you, in every unit of the College should also engage in discussions and submit recommendations to your respective deans. For us in the community colleges, our charge is to consider the following:
As we consider the rich conversations we will have today around our own strategic plan, and the ones to be had in the weeks to come as we dream of a brighter future for our Connecticut State Colleges and Universities system, the concept of putting students first and of being engines of change in support of our communities should inform our engagement. I will conclude by reading the poem on the back of our Final Report, and I do hope you join me in the reading of it, but before that, let me just say once again, that I am so delighted to see how so many of our community partners and friends are here today, to support, to contribute and to hold hands with us as we continue to move this beautiful and meaningful institution forward. I celebrate our students today as I celebrate with a grateful heart the presence of all of you, people of good will, caring and thoughtful colleagues and partners. Mil gracias y bendiciones.
On the other side of the door
I can be a different me,
As smart and as brave and as funny or strong
As a person could want to be.
There is nothing too hard for me to do,
There's no place I can't explore
Because everything can happen
On the other side of the door.
On the other side of the door
I don't have to go alone.
If you come, too, we can sail tall ships
And fly where the wind has flown.
And wherever we go, it is almost sure
We'll find what we're looking for
Because everything can happen
On the other side of the door.
Jeff Moss in Teaching with Fire
Another academic year begins, another opportunity is before us to continue to open doors of opportunities for our students, for ourselves and for the communities we serve. We all deserve nothing less.

Questlove Dreams of Jiro
"I swear there is no filter."
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
"I swear there is no filter."
From the humbled to the jokesters.
All of their actorly prowess in fifteen ever-repeating frames. Is it any wonder they got nominated?
Hugh Jackman can do no wrong.
"When I rang Cameron Mackintosh for the movie and said I wanted to go for Jean Valjean, he said, 'Dude, you can't sing that.'"
It's the story of "a despicable, horrible, downright loser."
And wooden clogs for Hugh Jackman.
Plus: Zachary Knighton and his crazy, Asian father-in-law staked out their raided chicken coop two nights ago, and more, on our daily late-night roundup.
And Anne Hathaway sang "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas."
The film's tasteless bombardment would, under most circumstances, send audiences screaming from the theater, but the film is going to be a monster hit and award winner, and not entirely unjustly.
For her birthday.
Can't keep a good Wolverine down.
New Les Miz footage! Siren alert!
So we're done now, right?
Wolverine and the gang stopped in for some sushi.
Along with Ty Burrell, Olivia Wilde, and Hugh Jackman.
"Hugh" oughta know.
Jackman will play William Pepper, an attorney who has spent decades trying to prove James Earl Ray was not the shooter.
Guests this year shine in sequined adornments and bright-colored details amid classic black tuxedos.

UK: Budget Mobile VR Headset LaunchesA couple of months ago, a small team from Carl Zeiss visited our office to show us a prototype of the VR One, a smartphone-enabled mobile headset they'd cooked up. They wanted to make it available in December, but what they showed us what little more than a proof of concept -- a moulded-plastic viewfinder that relied on hard finger-taps in order to back out of the few apps they'd cooked up. It was externally attractive, but it was internally clumsy, and Zeiss was hoping that developers would pick up the slack when the unit became available.From http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2014-12/04/new-improved-vr-headset, December 09, 2014

It looks like the dispute between Caterham and 38 former staff members won't be settled out of court after the ex-employees started legal proceedings.
The Leafield squad laid off workers after the team were bought out by a Swiss-Middle Eastern consortium and reported they were forced to let the staff go as part of a "necessary step taken by the new owners of Caterham F1 Team whose priority is the future of the team".
However, the former employees decided to seek legal advice as "they were sacked without consultation in breach of employment law and are claiming breach of contract and unfair dismissal".
Caterham then decided to launch a lawsuit of their own to "seek compensation for the damages suffered by the team due to the gross misrepresentation of the facts made by all those concerned".
The former employees have now started legal proceedings in a statement: "38 former staff have today issued employment Tribunal Proceedings against Caterham in light of its failure to settle claims following their unlawful axing by new owners back in July," it read. "Due to the amount of money involved in the claims made, further High Court Proceedings are also imminent against the Leafield F1 company.
"Furthermore, contrary to reports made by Caterham, the ex-employees have still not been paid their July salaries despite promises that they would be paid for 1-15 July. Nor have the employees or their solicitors received any substantive response to their letter to Caterham on 25 July 2014 urging a response to the above matter and inviting settlement.
"The hope is that Caterham will enter into a constructive discussion with the employees and their legal representatives so this matter can be resolved swiftly and amicably."

Northampton and England Under-19 goalkeeper Dean Snedker has joined Conference side Brackley on loan until January.
The 19-year-old made his professional debut for the Cobblers in 2011 against Cardiff in the League Cup but has yet to feature since.
"Dean is at the age where he needs to be playing first team football to continue his development," Northampton boss Chris Wilder told the official club website.
"This move will give him the chance to play regular first team football while also helping out a local club."

Forget Facebook, Here's the Real IPO You Should Own
By Michael Vodicka
NEW YORK ( StreetAuthority) -- Facebook's (FB) recent flop as a publicly traded company has brought a lot of negative attention to initial public offerings. As many novice and experienced investors alike found out, more than a few important pieces need to come together for a successful IPO.
The company (and its underwriters) must create an accurate valuation for the stock based on key metrics like sales and income, issue the correct number of shares and find a price that satisfies demand while maximizing the amount of capital raised.
Clearly, Facebook and the investment banks that were paid big bucks to take it public missed on more than a few of these key criteria, with shares now down more than 20% from their recent high above $45.But don't think that's standard for IPOs, because it's not. In fact, there is one recent IPO that has been burning up the charts, up nearly 80%% since going public a little over a year ago in April of 2011. That trend carried over into 2012, with shares up an impressive 25% in the last six months to easily outperform the S&P 500's meager 6% return.
A Hugely Successful IPO
On the chart, you'll see this anti-Facebook IPO posting huge gains, with shares up more than 100% since going public in April 2011 for a whopping outperformance on the S&P 500. Take a look...
The company I'm referring to is GNC (GNC), a specialty retailer of health and wellness products with a market capitalization of just $3.7 billion. GNC's stated goal is to transition from specialty retailer to global brand. It already has a leading presence in the retail and online health and wellness space, which it should continue to build on as it executes its strategy to increase its franchise licenses and purse international opportunities in key growth markets like Asia, Western Europe and South America. Although GNC has seen sharp gains in sales, earnings and its share price in the last year, taking a closer look at the company's business model reveals that it's still on the front end of a long-term growth trend.

When one considers how things have gone in the last decades or thereabouts, it is not easy to believe in the survival of civilization.
I do not argue from this that the only thing to do is to adjure practical politics, retire to some remote place and concentrate either on individual salvation or on building up self-supporting communities against the day when the atom bombs have done their work. I think one must continue the political struggle, just as a doctor must try to save the life of a patient who is probably going to die.
But I do suggest that we shall get nowhere unless we start by recognizing that political behaviour is largely non-rational, that the world is suffering from some kind of mental disease which must be diagnosed before it can be cured.

3 Stocks to Profit From U.S. Natural Gas Phenomenon
2. Devon (DVN)In the mid-cap space, the international interest in Devon speaks to its appeal as an individual investment opportunity. Along with Exxon, Devon realized the potential of onshore U.S. drilling and production activity and sought to sell off business not directly exposed to North America.
The company is also ambitiously building out exposure to liquid natural gas. Analysts project nearly 9% sales growth this year to almost $11 billion, and earnings of more than $6 per share. This would represent annual earnings growth of 6%, but a revamped firm focused on North American natural gas going forward means the potential exists for double-digit annual profit growth going forward.Rival firm Chesapeake has a similar profile to Devon and has its fortunes firmly tied to natural gas, which comprises 99% of its total production. It is also looking to sell off assets to free up capital for domestic production expansion, such as in liquid natural gas. The only downside for Chesapeake is its higher debt load, and it isn't growing as fast as Devon.

Well. That was interesting.
Yep, http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc72282711#summary - Magnitude 6.0 - 6km NW of American Canyon, California. Seemed to last 30 seconds or so
Should the Common Grounds situation be a Community Alert?
If you think so, go for it. If somebody disagrees, they can always take it down or raise their objections. There's no real downside to floating it as an idea by putting it up.
Oh, they are spraying alright and up and very close too. An air plane is returning all the time above J Street. I've heard it return at least 6 times now and counting... August, 6, 2014, 9.21 PM

Kass: Rally Through Summer?
Not surprisingly, the media is in disbelief and so are hedge funds, with their net long positions near record low levels for fear of continued investment losses and investor redemptions. The individual investor, also burned by the bear market, has redeemed out of mutual funds by record amounts, and based on my conversations with high net worth stock brokers, many retail accounts have similarly raised cash, or even have closed their brokerage accounts.
Meanwhile, a new marginal buyer -- namely, pension plans -- might have already begun to levitate stock prices recently as their portfolio has been skewed by the marked outperformance of fixed income vis-à-vis equities. And with the yield on the 10-year U.S. note climbing over 3% yesterday, that asset allocation might continue to have a salutary impact on stocks.
