HM entrance is always a bottle neck during regular and peak times, so it seems they are just going to add more problems with moving the sidewalk that is unless everyone eventually filters through the new queue, which might be why Disney did this in the first place. :idea:

Home Financial Bancorp Announces Second Quarter Results
Non-interest income jumped $45,000 or 34%, to $178,000 for the quarter. Gain on sale of securities totaled $65,000. No gains on sale of securities were reported for the year-earlier period.

Salaries and employee benefit expense increased $33,000 or 10%.
For the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, the Company reported net income of $256,000, or $.20 basic and $.19 diluted earnings per share. Net income was $254,000, or $.19 basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Gain on sale of securities, and lower repossessed property expense, offset the impact of higher loan loss provisions plus higher legal and professional fees; resulting in net income comparable to the same six-month period a year earlier.
Net interest income was $1.6 million for both six-month periods ending December 31, 2012 and 2011. Interest income fell $150,000 or 7%, but was more than offset by a $165,000 or 30% drop in interest expense.
Loan loss provisions were $200,000 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2012, compared to $137,000 a year earlier.

Wine bars are trendy now, so beware -- lots of dowdy bar-and-grills, frat-boy beer joints and third- rate bistros are adding a few commercial wines by the glass and rebranding themselves as the real deal.
To qualify as a bona fide wine bar, the primary focus has to be on the grape: If the predominant bottles are vodka, it's not a wine bar.
The purveyors should also have a spot of erudition, insight, maybe even passion. For Morrell's wine director Jean Reilly, the bartenders are all-important: "They should be able to engage and speak knowledgeably about wine in a way that puts the customer at ease."
Every wine bar serves a cheese and charcuterie plate, but some go to the trouble of seeking out more flavorful, artisanal varieties, and that's always a good portent for the quality of the wine.
Here are ten of my New York City favorites, serving great -- and interesting -- wine with flair and expertise.
Dim lights and horseshoe-shaped banquettes impart the feel of a hip cocktail lounge. Though the drinks are impressive, the main business here is wine.
And good food, too -- don't pass on the fine selection of cheeses. And I especially liked the hand-cranked prosciutto slicer.
Recommended: Riesling, Gunther Steinmetz 2010, Mosel, Germany.
At 34 8th Ave. and Jane St. Information: +1-212.518.2722; http://www.anforanyc.com.
Bar Veloce
A recent expansion transformed Bar Veloce from a claustrophobic tunnel into a large and ultra-modern space.
Have a plate of tramezzini, three-layered finger sandwiches made with Sicilian tuna or eggplant with olive paste.
In case you miss the Italian connection, three vintage Vespas are on display.
Recommended: Barolo Parusso 2007, Piemonte, Italy.
At 175 2nd Avenue, between 11th and 12th Streets. Information: +1-212.260.3200; http://www.barveloce.com.
Bin 71
There is a television, but when I was there, the sound was off, and the ambient music was turned low enough for non- screaming chat.
The three-sided, marble-topped bar and two rectangular communal tables were occupied by good-looking 20-and 30-year-old professionals, perusing the well-thought-out, international wine list.
Feast on Serrano ham, Malpeque oysters, pink-snapper sashimi and polenta baked with Vermont's pungent Bayley Hazen blue.
Recommended: Arneis Roero, Bruno Giacosa 2007, Piemonte, Italy.
At 237 Columbus Ave. and 71st St. Information: +1-212-362- 5446; http://bin71.com.
Buceo 95
The winning tapas just kept coming at this charming bar: pungent olives, super-fresh grilled calamari, tomato toast, spicy meatballs and Spanish garlic shrimp.
All were washed down with a succession of extremely well- chosen wines, mainly from Spain and South America.
Recommended: Tempranillo Blend, Bodegas Olabarri 2001, Rioja Gran Reserva, Spain.
At 201 West 95th St., near Amsterdam Ave. Information: +1- 212-662-7010; http://www.buceo95.com.
Enoteca I Trulli
With its simple but elegant marble bar and scrubbed-pine tables, this is one of the most unostentatiously attractive wine bars in the city. Plus the garden is now open for the summer.
A wide selection of unusual Italian wines, above-average panini and panzerotti and the relaxed professionalism of its staff create the sense that you're in an upscale Roman enoteca.
Recommended: Arialdo Sangiovese 2009, Dalle Nostre Mani, Toscana, Italy. The thoughtfully constructed flights are also worth attention.
At 122 E. 27th St. near Lexington Ave. Information: +1-212- 481-7372; http://www.itrulli.com.
Epistrophy Cafe
There's a relaxed Bohemian vibe here, imparted by the scuffed wooden bar, exposed brick walls and eclectic, junk-shop collection of sofas, chairs and tables.
The food and wine are predominantly Sardinian: the sformato di zucchini was a revelation and the Tagliere di Terra, a plate of cheese and cold cuts, a meal in itself.
Recommended: Cannonau di Sardegna, Terreforru, Meloni Vini 2007, Italy.
At 200 Mott St. Information: +1-212-966-0904; http://www.epistrophycafe.com.
Kaia Wine Bar
Friendly service, an imaginative list of South African wines -- kaia means "hut" in South Africa -- and splendid food make up for the concrete floor, unadorned gray walls and metallic bar.
Ever tried Buffel Frikadelle, or bison meatballs with gravy and celery root puree? Inside tip: avoid the Pinotage.
Recommended: Chardonnay Pinot Noir, Haute Cabriere 2010, Franschhoek, South Africa. And, no, that's not a typo -- it really is a Chard/PN blend, and it's white.
At 1614 3rd Avenue between 90th and 91st Streets. Information: +1-212-722-0490; http://kaiawinebar.com.
Peer through the storefront window and you might assume Kashkaval was just a boutique-sized Mediterranean deli. Squeeze past the display of cheese and olives, and you find yourself in a packed, tiny wine bar infused with the happy buzz of people consuming good food and wine.
A variety of cheeses from 14 different countries and an enormous bowl of the best hummus I have ever tasted are the stars here.
Recommended: Chenin Blanc/Viognier, Pine Ridge 2010, Napa, California.
At 856 Ninth Ave., near 56th St. Information: +1-212-581- 8282; http://www.kashkavalfoods.com.
Morrell's Wine Bar & Cafe
As befits its tony location overlooking Rockefeller Center, Morrell's is the ultimate in wine bar sophistication.
If you appreciate the difference between Burgundy and Brunello, you'll fare well at this chic boite. If you don't, the friendly, well-informed staff will be happy to guide you through their pricy offerings.
The menu alone is worth a visit as it's hard to do better in the neighborhood. Try the deviled eggs with black truffle.
Recommended: Cotes du Rhone, Delas Freres, St. Esprit 2009, Rhone, France.
At 1 Rockefeller Center, 49th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues. Information: +1-212-262-7700; http://morrellwinebar.com.
The Tangled Vine
What's not to love about the Tangled Vine? They have a commendable selection of hidden gems, unusual bin-end lots and small production European wines to tempt the enthusiast and curious amateur alike.
Combine this with an easygoing, knowledgeable staff and fantastic food and you get pretty close to my ideal wine bar. Especially alluring are the broccoli rabe, quail egg and Parmesan crostini.
Recommended: Rosso di Montalcino, La Rasina 2008, Toscana, Italy.
At 434 Amsterdam Ave. and 81st St. Information: +1- 646.863.3896; http://tangledvinebar.com.

Volunteer supports deputies, creates museum on walls of sheriff's station.
Today, a very special volunteer is celebrating her
anniversary. October 23 marks the 25 year anniversary of service to the
Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station for Station Historian Estelle
Foley, a pillar of the station, is well known and recognized for all her
hard work over the years. Most notably, Estelle is single-handedly
responsible for preserving and highlighting the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff
Station's 159 year history and unprecedented level of service
to the Santa Clarita Valley, and 21 years of service to the City of Santa
Estelle began her association with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's
Station on October 23, 1983.
Estelle has been instrumental in coordinating numerous station activities and
events, including the station's 70th Anniversary Book and dedication ceremony
in August of 1996; and the creation of the Historical Hall of Fame, which
depicts the history of the Department from 1849 to the present.
In doing so, Estelle researched, documented, and created plaques, picture
frames, and mementos to line the walls of the station. These items depict
historical events, articles, and milestones from years gone by. If you
walk the hallways you can see and read about the many noteworthy leaders that
have given their service to the valley throughout the years and the many
different enforcement units and specialized resources that have been
instrumental in the development of current station protocols and protection
efforts. Also highlighted are the prestigious and often times heroic
actions of deputy sheriffs and other station staff who have served our
community throughout the years.
Estelle has served on the station's Community Advisory Community, directly
addressing matters that are important to the public we serve. She has
served as a volunteer in the station secretariat, was involved with the
implementation of the Knox Box security system program, and was involved with
spearheading the design and construction of the Memorial Garden.
The garden was proudly dedicated on Friday,
August 30, 2002, in remembrance of Deputy Hagop "Jake" Kuredjian, killed in
the line of duty on August 30, 2001,
and Deputy Arthur Pelino, the first Santa Clarita Valley
Deputy to be killed in the line of duty on March 19, 1978. The garden, with its serene
waterfall and pond is a place where all station personnel can visit and relax
or reflect on Jake, Arthur, and their service to the Santa Clarita
Valley. Commemorative plaques with both deputies' pictures also overlook
the garden thanks to Estelle and the others involved with the project.
The garden helps ensure the deputies are never forgotten.
For her support and dedication to the men and women of the Santa Clarita
Valley Sheriff's Station, Mrs. Foley has received numerous awards from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the
Sheriff's Department, including the Unit Commander's Recognition Pin. As
a dedicated volunteer, Estelle has devoted nearly 6,000 hours of her own time
and service to the County of Los Angeles
and the City of Santa Clarita and
saved more than $121,000 in personnel costs over the years. We are
extremely grateful for her generosity and kindness, and are truly blessed to
have her as part of our family.
"Estelle continues to amaze us with her timeless and tireless
commitment to our station and personnel," said Captain Anthony La
Berge. "She gives all those who visit and work at our station a
unique traditional perspective of the true history behind what we do everyday
and we are very grateful for her," he added.

Lovely view, large beautiful home
This is a large beautiful home with a lovely view of the bridge heading north out of Belfast. Each morning I'd watch to see when the man living in a lobster boat across the bay would light up his fire, presumably to cook breakfast, and then glance up at the painting on the wall of a similar looking boat. We spent the day doing various things in Belfast which is a perfect Maine community- enough art stores and good food to enjoy, but not yet densely packed with tourist trap type stores. Also the nearby Young's lobster pound (http://youngslobsterpound.webs.com/) was excellent. We took our 3.5 pound lobsters home to cook but I very much look forward to eating at Young's on a future outing as they have what appears to be an excellent rustic upstairs room right on the ocean. The home was huge even four the 9 of us who stayed there and every room has a beautiful view of the water. We didn't get to take full advantage of the piano but it was in tune. Also the weather was a bit too cold to take advantage of the grill or outdoor patios but those looked beautiful as well--and also the kayaks would have been great fun in the river had my friend's been a bit more adventuresome (willing to risk getting a bit chilly). We'll definitely be back.
Inspiring, delightful, relaxing, getaway. Excellent location. A true Maine experience.
Very charming and comfortable place to hang your hat for a relaxing vacation. The porch overlooking the park and bay was roomy and enticing, great for watching the tide and boats come and go….The location can't be beat. The downtown area is walking distance and is vibrant and eclectic with lots of shops and places to eat. Belfast is less than an hour to Acadia Natl Park and we made a couple of trips there for some serious hiking and sightseeing. The Saturday Farmers market was a great find, as was Young's Lobster pound which we enjoyed more than once! Although the upstairs main bathroom was sufficient, it was quite small and made showering a bit tight for a larger person. The lower level ½ bathroom was handy and nicely done. Having the use of a washer and dryer was a nice bonus. The kitchen and main living area was open and spacious and made a great gathering and eating area. The furniture also was adequate however the sofa was elevated on some blocks that made it a particularly precarious perch. The bedrooms were comfortable and we had everything we needed. We received a nice welcome from the owner by phone the day we arrived. We had minor difficulty with the CATV but the wifi made it possible to look up some troubleshooting info and we were able to remedy the situation. The owners/representative were responsive to our needs as well and called us back to confirm we had the problem fixed. With that porch and view though, your TV watching will be at a minimum! All in all we enjoyed our stay immensely and would recommend this place to our friends. I feel like we enjoyed a true Maine experience! Thank you for a great trouble free stay!
Amazing Town & Amazing home
This home and location suited us perfectly. It was great for our kids and was within walking distance to everything that we wanted to do. We did do a day trip to Bar Harbor and one to Boothbay. I can say with all certainty that Belfast is a wonderful town and this house was fantastic. The kids loved the treehouse and the trampoline and the fact that they could walk to the park, water, movie theater and the local pizza parlor! We are counting on showing up again next year. Thank you so much!

Music Fests Tune In to Energy Use
Johnson Controls recently signed a three-year sponsorship with Milwaukee World Festival that allows the company to help improve the energy efficiency of its sponsored stage at the Summerfest music festival in its hometown of Milwaukee.
For the 2013 festival, which begins this week, improvements provided by Johnson Controls World Sound Stage include:
- Replacement of lamps in the seating area with energy efficient LED bulbs
- Split system high efficiency air conditioning units for the backstage dressing rooms and offices
- Installation of Metasys building management system that will provide real-time information on energy usage in the stage area
In addition, a sustainability tower will be located at the entrance to the seating area to show Summerfest goers the energy improvement results being measured in real-time. The tower will house a wind turbine and solar panels, which will demonstrate how energy can be captured and used to power the displays on the tower.
Johnson Controls estimates the annual energy savings to the stage area for the festival will be 7.7 million watt hours.
In Colorado, for the 11th consecutive year, Colorado-based Renewable Choice Energy provided wind power and carbon offsets to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival, (pictured) which ended Sunday. Planet Bluegrass, the parent company of the Telluride Festival, purchased wind power in the form of renewable energy credits (RECs) and verified carbon emission reductions from Renewable Choice to offset 100 percent of the emissions created by the Festival, including attendee and artist travel.

Massacre in Guinea: Putting down the bauxite rebellion
Guinean army forces have massacred over 150 unarmed people who were protesting on Monday against the country's unelected leader. The head of the military Moussa Dadis Camara leads the Western African country. He seized power in a coup following the death of longtime dictator Lansana Conté in December. Protests broke out in the capital Conakry after it seemed likely that Camara would stand as a candidate in a presidential election postponed to January. Opponents are demanding he honour a longstanding pledge to stand aside and transition Guinea to civilian rule (photo of arrest in Conakry by AFP via Al Jazeera).
Despite the ban, thousands assembled at the 25,000 seater stadium pushing past military to gain entrance to the ground. They carried placards reading "No to Dadis" and "Down with the army in power" before police eventually stopped the crowds from gaining entry. Suddenly soldiers drove into the stadium. They descended from their vehicles and shot first into the air. Then they began to open fire on demonstrators and beat them up.
By the middle of the afternoon Donka Hospital in Conakry had admitted hundreds of people with bullet wounds and injuries from beatings. A number of women taking part in the demonstration were stripped naked and sexually assaulted by security forces who also went on a looting rampage across town. The usual suspects such as the UN, the EU, the AU and the US all expressed their condemnation of the massacre but none are likely to act against what is usually deemed "a domestic matter". Of more interest is the attitude of the the international mining companies who stand to make large amounts of money in the country.
Guinea has the world's largest concentration of bauxite (aluminium ore) with 30 percent of the world's reserves. US Giant Alcoa in partnership with Canadian Alcan have exclusive rights to mine bauxite in Guinea's Sangaredi Plateau. Together they run Cie des Bauxites de Guinée (CBG) the world's largest bauxite mine. Bauxite is used in cement, chemicals, face makeup, soda cans, dishwashers, siding for houses, and other aluminum products and is highly profitable industry for the two multi-nationals.
But Guinea's relationship with the Russian giant UC RUSAL is not so healthy. Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska's company are in a row with a Guinean court which has taken ownership of a mine away from them. The court cancelled the sale in 2006 of the Friguia refinery which UC RUSAL had bought for $20 million, far below independent valuations of $250 million. Russia is claiming the refinery is now their legitimate property.
Rio Tinto is also in trouble with Guinea. It is still challenging a decision the government made last year to take away control of an important iron ore project. Government told Rio its licence to mine has been rescinded. The mine at Simandou is one of the world's largest undeveloped iron ore deposits, with the potential to generate more than $10 billion a year. The mine is crucial to Rio to ward off takeover threats from BHP Billiton and analysts say Guinea's move is an attempt to get a better bargaining position at a vulnerable time for the buyer.
But the latest protests have made Guinea vulnerable too. Camara is playing for high stakes. Though the country remains an economic basket case, he and his cronies can earn millions in company kickbacks. But he needs the big companies to stay. If he cannot control the streets they will take their mining dollars elsewhere. For Guinea's millions of desperately poor neither outcome will help them much.
Keeping up with the ipjones: buying an Iphone
I am recovering with a glass of Irish whiskey after a day of technological terror. It's the fault of a phone.
The purchase and its aftermath were stressful events, if neither unexpected. I found the whole commercial experience of choosing and then buying a phone very difficult.
Part of me hates change because it means I have to unlearn old ways of doing things. Not being part of the igeneration, I was quite happy to hold on to the old phone even though it was well out of contract. But inertia was eventually overcome by the idea of communicating on the run. The ability to send text and pictures to the Internet in near real-time was immensely appealing.
This was my second attempt to buy an iphone. Last time I went to my local Telstra shop they told me there was a four week delay so I didn't bother. I would have had it by now. But today there was no waiting period. Choice was limited – I wanted a sedate black-backed phone but there were none in that colour. Impatient to wait, I chose a more attention-grabbing white cover.
Technical spec was not as much a big deal for me. Knowing about Moore's Law and resource-hungry apps I should have gone for the 32 meg disk phone instead of the 16. But that was going to cost $200 more and I didn't think it was worth it. I will repent my stinginess at leisure. I paid an extra $10 a month for 150 meg of monthly download time. Time will tell if that amount is too big, sufficient, or too small. I forgot to ask how many megapixels the camera is but found out later its 2 MP.
When I took the phone home I panicked as I could find see my contacts list of telephone numbers anywhere. I shuddered what that would mean if it was gone. I rang the shop who patiently assured me they had copied them across to the new SIM but I would have to import the damn things.
It took me a while to find out how. Neither the "Finger Tips" document nor the Iphone 3GS "Important Product Information Guide" were much use as a user manual (and the text in the latter "important" document was so small, it could have been borrowed from the Rosetta Stone). But with much trial, error, and liberal Saxon slang I found the import screen on the phone. My contact list was back, to great relief.
If that all went ok in the end, the same cannot be said for iTunes set-up. The first thing I wanted to do was download the free Twitter and Facebook apps. In order to do that I needed an iTunes account which I did not have already. I went through the longwinded account set-up (including spending forever to decide on my "secret question" – but I'd have to kill you if I told you what that was). Apple asked me for a credit card number which they nicely said they would keep for later transactions. I baulked at this option – I was only there for a free app.
But even still it was a slow process. Accompanied by several loud oaths, my tedious attempts at club-footed typing was struggling on a small and unfamiliar keyboard. Several times I misspelt the userid or password or had to go off to another screen to find the underscore (in my mail address) or the at-sign. Whenever I made an error, which was common, I'd try and correct but often would accidentally send myself to some other screen and I'd have to start from scratch again. In short it took me a while to find the "return" key.
Eventually I created my account and quickly found an email in my inbox. I tried clicking on this link from the phone itself but it insisted the link must come from a computer. When I did try on the laptop, the verification email took me to this screen (shown right) which told me I was "just a few steps away" from downloading music, HD TV shows, movies, and more from the iTunes Store.
Just a few steps away? But all I was doing was verifying. Why was this so complex? It didn't look like a verification screen to me and there was nothing there that said I was verified or needed to do something else. I tried to re-download the Twitter app but no surprise, it was still telling me my account was unverified.
After several repeat attempts (complete with more spelling mistakes and misturns) I decided maybe nothing was happening because I didn't have iTunes installed.
But when I tried to install it, the windows installer crashed. This was the signal the Gods were against me today I eventually gave up none the wiser as to how to download free apps. I can possibly blame the devil's own defective code of my Vista operating system for the installer problem. But Apple's own support procedures are poor too. The material sent out with the iphone is abysmal and there is no contact information on the "do not reply" verification email.
I had cursed KafkApple enough and was still anxious to try out Twitter on the phone. I logged onto my twitter homepage via the phone's Safari brower and typed in a test message. But my fingers were taking some time to get used to the smaller keyboard. So the initial tweet read "testing from ipjone". Happy that something worked first time, I barely noticed the typo. But others did. Stilgherrian was quickest to respond: "Your 'ipjone' seems to be working perfectly," he reassured me.
If only he knew. Call me Ipjonah. Here's hoping this technophobe fares better in the morning.
Guinness at 250
Guinness celebrated its 250th anniversary with a party in four countries on the weekend. Festivities were at their peak in the beer's spiritual home Dublin on Thursday, but the anniversary was also celebrated with concerts in Lagos, Kuala Lumpur, and New York. On 24 September 1759, Arthur Guinness signed a 9,000 year lease on the St James's Gate brewery in Dublin and began a beer brand that is the best known in the world. The anniversary party kicked off at 5.59 pm (17:59) in Dublin with a toast to Arthur Guinness, before carrying on long into the night in the other cities (photo of McDaids of Dublin by Derek Barry).
While the success of the subsequent campaign was legendary, Guinness's health claims continued to be argued throughout the years. The company is now careful to make any medical claims for its drinks. It has not been able to use the "Guinness is Good for You" slogan since the 1960s and it has not appeared on a poster since 1937. However 2003 research from the University of Wisconsin found that a pint of Guinness at mealtimes is good for the heart, unlike a pint of lager. It found that Guinness was full of flavonoids (also found in dark fruits and berries as well as red wine and chocolate) which reduce damage to the lining of arteries.
But Guinness is more than about health. In 2004, a British survey named the Guinness can widget as the greatest technological invention of the last 40 years. It was invented in the 1980s by a Guinness brewer named Peter Hildebrand who created a jet of foam instead of a jet of air inside a can. The plastic molded device that sits on the top of each can with a small amount of beer and nitrogen, trapped in the widget. When the can is opened, the nitrogen is forced out through the beer, which creates the creamy head. The resulting Draught Guinness in Cans saw the brand take off again in Britain and had the side effect of increasing pub sales too.
Guinness is now brewed in almost 50 countries, with ten million glasses drunk around the world every day. It is made from four natural ingredients: barley, water, hops and yeast. Its dark colour and distinctive taste come from the roast barley. The Guinness family have not been directly involved in the management of the company since 1992 although they retain a financial interest in the business. In 1998 Guinness merged with Grand Metropolitan to form Diageo, now the largest drinks company in the world. Among the brands owned by Diageo are Smirnoff, Baileys, Johnny Walker, J&B, Gordon's, Captain Morgan, Bushmills and Bundaberg Rum.
The background of Arthur Guinness is shrouded in mystery. Although a Protestant, he appropriated the coat of arms from an aristocratic Catholic family named Magennis. Through this sleight of hand, it allowed his family to inherit the title of Earl of Iveagh which gave later family members great prestige. Guinness began in 1759 by brewing several beers and ales at St James Gate in Dublin. On a visit to London he saw porters enjoying a new drink which was a mixture of beer and ale and named after their occupation. When porter was introduced to Ireland, Guinness decided to beat the British at their own game and brewed his own version. It took decades to establish but he eventually abandoned all his other products to concentrate on the porter he named after himself.
He exported the first shipment of Guinness to England as early as 1769 but the stout did not travel well. By the 1830s British factories had taken over the bottling and distribution and helped turn it into an international brand. By the 1890s, Guinness began to get serious with its brand and insisted all its products had uniform labelling and trademarks. By then, the Guinness brewery in Dublin was the largest in the world, and the company, Arthur Guinness and Sons was floated on the London Stock Exchange. But it wasn't until 1950 that Guinness gained control of its global export business. They had immediate results and increased sales of its export product from 35,000 barrels to 300,000 barrels in ten years.
The name Guinness remains indelibly linked to Ireland in general, and Dublin in particular (rebel city Cork prefers Murphy's stout or Beamish). When renowned writer and frequent Guinness drinker Brendan Behan was asked "hasn't Guinness been good to the people of Dublin?" he supposedly replied "haven't the people of Dublin been good to Guinness."
But Behan left unanswered the question whether Guinness taste better in Dublin than anywhere else. This writer is one of the many who think it does (for what its worth, my favourite Guinness pub is Mulligans of Poolbeg Street). But as Mark Griffiths writes in "Guinness is Guinness", I and countless others are probably wrong. He quotes Guinness Ireland Brand Controller Mark Ody who says it is a myth, up to a point. "A pint in Dublin might not be a week old [whereas] in England it can be two months in the chain," he said. "It's pure myth and speculation – but fresh is fresh is fresh". No matter, wherever you are having a Guinness this weekend, enjoy. Here's to the next 250 years. Sláinte go léir.
Half way house
I'm currently half way through an 18 month master's of journalism at QUT. I am actually slightly over the exact half-way mark as the mid-term break that arrives next week is strangely week 11 out of 14 (something very Irish about that!). Mine is a three semester course-work degree, so the end result will not be treated as highly as if were a research masters. However a third of my work is thesis. That will be due in late May 2010 and I want that to be treated and examined as if it were a full research thesis. (pic: QUT Kelvin Grove "Education A Block Building" by Derek Barry)
So this post is the first attempt to publicly verbalise the journey. I will be trying to do this on a weekly basis between now and June 2010 (though there might be a few weeks off between semesters). It will be as open and self-critical as I can make it. This won't be easy – I made the decision to discuss blogs back in February and for reasons I cannot yet easily explain I've been dragging my heels on mentioning it in my own blog.
Or blogs plural. I currently spend several hours every day running three blogs (or two and a half to be more accurate). I maintain two versions of Woolly Days. The original started on Blogger in September 2005 and a new one started on WordPress in February this year. The two are almost exactly alike in article content. My third site is Irish I's which I started in June 2007 to post jokes, pics, and oddball stories I stumble upon on a daily basis. Irish I's is also on blogger (though is possibly an ideal candidate to move to a newer platform such as Posterous).
But Woolly Days is my major preoccupation and I can often spend four to six hours a day putting to a post together. I am currently persisting with two versions of Woolly Days because I cannot decide which one to go one with. I like the more professional look of WordPress Woolly Days but I'm still fond of Blogger Woolly Days on the Google-owned platform that gave me a public voice four years ago. So I put up with double-entry bookkeeping (though typographical errors fixed up subsequently in one are not necessarily retrofitted to the other). If I were unsentimental I should be seriously considering leave the Woolly Days brand behind and start blogging under the label of Derek Barry or else at some other "Days". This might well happen when I physically leave Wooloowin (where I've lived since 2004).
I don't think it would greatly matter wherever I publish next because it is the blogging form that matters not the brand. It is as a blogger I think I am establishing an authentic, articulate and unorthodox voice that is slowly getting recognition in the wider community.
That pleases me because blogging is important. Don't be deceived by the claims that it is so 2004. The fact that the early adopters have moved on means is that it is a maturing product with tens of millions of active exponents. These people blog because it gives them as a long-form and free platform of communication on the Internet. If democracy could be defined as the freedom to express your opinion widely, then the rise of the blog is a good thing. For me that means over a thousand articles and a million words over four years at a rate of six or more posts a week.
So is anyone listening to this widespread distribution of opinion, is anyone paying attention? Who is reading my million words?
To answer these questions, I need to analyse some audience metrics for my blogs.
After 20 days this month (approx 3 weeks), my sites have received the following number of hits (in brackets number of hits a day)
Woolly Days Blogger 32, 927 = average 1,646 hits a day
Irish I's 1, 319 = average 66 hits a day
Woolly Days WordPress 378 = average 19 hits a day.
For a grand total of 34, 624 at an average of 1,731 hits a day.
Hits aren't humans and I don't have breakdown of hits to visits on a monthly basis. However on a daily basis the number of visits averages between 65 and 90 percent of the hits total. If we go with the lowest figure of 65 percent that would mean an average total of 1,125 human visitors come to my blogs every day in September 2009. The actual figure that read my work is higher than that as Woolly Days blog content is also available to read in Facebook (to 94 people) and all are available as RSS feeds (to 42 subscribers on Google Reader and an unknown number on other RSS readers). But lets assume however this number is low and adds merely another 75 or so visitors, to give a nice round total number of 1,200.
This means I am talking to about twelve hundred people every day. But nowhere near this total are listening or indeed reading the same material. Far fewer still are actually talking back, but I might have to save the analysis on that for a later time. Because I wanted to concentrate on how people get to my site now. Why, when there are tens of millions of blogs to go to, do they come to mine?
90 percent of my traffic arrives serendipitously – well, its pleasantly surprising for me, anyway. But most of these people aren't interested in Woolly Days at all. Four out of every five people come from Google Images (and increasingly Bing). They've clicked on the picture and may or may not stay to read the text in the lower pane. I'm reasonably high in a surprising number of Google image searches in my increasingly long tail. The most popular page at the moment on Woolly Days is a 2006 article on Magna Carta. For reasons entirely unknown to me, it is currently number in Google Images for that search.
I thank Google for their algorithms but it is the one in five that don't come for the picture that are most likely to pay attention to the words. Half of these come from Google searches (10 percent of the entire total). These searchers usually do not hang around for long once they found an answer (or a lack of answer) to the question they have asked Google though occasionally are hooked in to explore a bit further.
The last 10 percent are people who come via bookmarks, links, Twitter, Facebook, RSS and other recommendations. It is these 120 or so people who come regularly to the site as part of their regular media consumption who are most likely to be reading what I'm currently writing. Given that most of the posts here at Woolly Days break the cardinal rule of short blogging and are often quite dense and political, it is likely that at least two thirds of these will not have the time or inclination to read this far into the post. Let's assume then that there are just 40 readers left at this stage.
I humbly thank this mathematical derived forty that have stayed the course and hope that they find the rest of this journey interesting. I would also love to hear back what people think about blogging or what they think might be an interesting research question. I would like this quest to serve as much meaning as I can cram into it. But if it there is no meaning or if none of this matters, I'd like to hear about that too.
Next week I'll be looking at how much journalism is in my work.

Facebook and the media: Opening the gated community
One guaranteed way to make a newspaper headline writer's day is to find an event that has some tenuous connection with Facebook. If there is a remote chance that technology can be blamed for something, it will be. So it is hardly surprising that in the last few days alone we have Facebook murders, Facebook crime, Facebook rescues, Facebook bandits, illegal Facebook parties and even "Facebook for the dead". This is all very lazy journalism though understandable that the media should want to tap into the Internet's biggest phenomenon. (photo by jurvetson)
Zuckerberg says his company mission is "to make the world more open and transparent by giving people the power to share information." But while many have praised Facebook as part of the democratising trend of new media, there is a social exclusion aspect to it also. Facebook is easily the largest gated community in the world. Author Robert Putnam told fan culture guru Henry Jenkins that while engagement with Facebook was primarily a social activity, there is a real "participation divide" that creates varying degrees of Internet engagement. Putnam found that Facebookers practice what cultural anthropologists call "gating," that is, the tendency to build physical/virtual, social, and cultural walls that are exclusive.
But within their own communities social network users are very generous. Zmags' Joakim Ditlev found Facebook is easily the most popular sharing tool among digital readers with 38 percent using it to forward content with Twitter well back in second place on 9 percent. This also means readers are more likely to pick up content from Facebook. Ditley says Facebook's casual way of communicating "seems to apply well" for sharing digital content.
Facebook's wide range of communication tools are also eating away at time spent on email, instant messaging and discussion groups. Activities that used to take place in email, such as posting videos or holiday photos are now migrating to Facebook. As ReadWriteWeb says Gen Yers "don't even think of email as the place to connect with friends and family – that's what social networks are for."
But people are leaving an enormous trail of data that could eventually come back to haunt them. While embarrassing photos are an obvious problem, a look at a friend list can also reveal a great deal about the person. An experiment at Boston's MIT found that simply by looking at a friend list, they could predict whether the person was gay. They did this with a software program that looked at the gender and sexuality of a person's friends and, using statistical analysis, made a prediction. As the Boston Globe puts it: "if our friends reveal who we are, that challenges a conception of privacy built on the notion that there are things we tell, and things we don't."
In Australia, the notion of privacy has been challenged by a court case against prison officers who used a Facebook group to protest against changes in their industry to privatise prisons. In October last year, six NSW corrections officers created a private group called "Suggestions to help big RON save a few clams". But when Big RON – the NSW Corrective Services Commissioner Ron Woodham – found out about the suggestions he wasn't happy and threatened to fire them for "bullying" and "harassment".
It did not take long for the media to label them The Facebook Six (though for some reason they preferred the more alliterative Facebook Five for a while). Last week Industrial Relations Commission decided their cases needed to be reheard after concerns of procedural unfairness so their fate is on hold for now. But the lesson to be learnt about Facebook, as academic David Perlmutter stated recently, is that it is "a particularly dangerous weapon for self-injury because more than with many other social-networking sites, it is so easy to share an embarrassing admission or offensive quip."
Despite the pitfalls, there are some who believe Facebook makes its users smarter. According to Dr Tracy Alloway from the University of Stirling in Scotland, the soc-med site is doing "wonders for working memory [and] improving…IQ scores". While it is doubtful that the thousands who sign on every day are doing it to become smarter, its versatility is one of its most attractive features. The downside is that it gives news editors even more things to place next to "Facebook" in their next headline.

The National Tertiary Education Union (NTEU) asked its 3,000 members at the University of Queensland (UQ), Griffith University and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) to join 13 other tertiary institutions across the country in a 24-hour strike last Wednesday.
Union national organiser Michael Evans said agreement was reached with a fourth Queensland university – James Cook University – prior to the action and the NTEU is now "close" to agreement with Griffith University as a result of the strike.
Evans said the union has yet to conclude negotiations with UQ and QUT.
The NTEU is seeking pay rises of between 16 and 18 per cent over three years and also an end to the casualisation of staffing at universities, which Mr Evans says is affecting job security.
One QUT striker who did not wish to be named said the big issue was removing the WorkChoices provisions from the enterprise bargaining agreement (EBA) and ensuring fair workloads for workers, as well as more employment security.
The EBA expired in 2008 but continues to be in effect while negotiations for a replacement continues.
Evans said the union was looking to regain rights it had lost in the last round of EBA changes under the previous federal government including the right to represent staff in disciplinary actions.
UQ executive director of operations Maurie McNarn told the Courier-Mail last week the impact of the strike would be minimal because the NTEU represented only 5 per cent of the workforce.
Evans acknowledged that Griffith University and QUT also experienced minimal disruption due to the action.
But he also said there was anecdotal evidence that car parks and campuses were emptier than normal and many classes were cancelled.
"Academics rescheduled classes for other days to ensure that students would not be disadvantaged," he said.
Evans said the one-day strike was valuable publicity for the union campaign and sent a message to the institutions that members were prepared to forego a day's pay to show how serious they were about the issues involved.
But Australian Higher Education Industrial Association executive director Ian Argall said Evans was "too optimistic" in his assessment of the industrial action.
He said the strike did not make any difference and that negotiations were likely to drag on for many months to come.
"There has been no agreement with any Australian university beyond 2009 except with New England University," Argall said.
He denied the workplace changes made during the Howard administration had impacted unions' rights to represent their members.
Argall said the issue for universities was how to organise the performance management and workload of staff.
"Unions have not been pushed out but don't have an automatic right to be involved" he said.

text:
I just read an article here on B-net that states Jesus would disapprove of the American Dream. And although much of what is stated can be seen as a truth, I want to make the case for the Dream.
I can only say, those who are making that case, must have forgotten what the American Dream was all about?
The American Dream was a promise given to the individual, a land that would allow all people the opportunity to pursue what they believe fulfills their own idea of happiness. This dream isn't against anything Jesus would want for us. What seems to have happened is , many in that pursuit, left behind the... very element that CREATES HAPPINESS...our immortal SOUL.
It's that disconnect, that belief that "things" are what gives us the feeling of happiness, has never suffered the absence of their Soul.
Sadly we recently witnessed the death of Robin Williams, whose depression can give us a clue as to what one feels, when they lose sight of their source. When ones joy gives way to emptiness, and the realization that nothing one has materially can fill the pain of ones separation from God. Many have felt this, some have called it the Dark Night of the Soul. Some are brought through it, not on their own, but by the Hand of God...the God they no longer believe exists...for that is the reason for the darkness. For darkness is separation from God.
In Robins case he took his own life. In mine, God saw more purpose in lifting me out of that state. So that I know it was not due to anything I could have done, and so that I would also know, all Glory belongs to God.
It's not the American Dream that Jesus would be against...it's more the pursuit that forgets its purpose. All that is good is of God...its when we assume we are the source of that good, that we lose both our souls purpose and that of the American Dream.
If as a Christian, Christ's Name is withheld when another defines their God, as the same God as yours, ask yourself why they withhold His Name?
For I believe in God. My God is Jesus Christ. There are no other gods before Him. Some believe Christ's life, is just a story. Others point to His being a part of history, a teacher, a prophet, and little more.
Some group Him among good men, the same as Ghandi, or Buddha or ...MLK.
I do not.
I believe my God is the Savior of all humankind. I believe my God died was Resurrected and came back to Life in the heart of all men who love Him, as it happened with the disciples of His time.
I believe my God can create miracles in my life, something none of those good men mentioned, can do.
I believe my God is what He said He Is...The Way, The Truth and the Life. I believe He made a place for me in His Heart which is my Eternity.
I believe He died so that I can truly live a life, I never thought possible. With the CHARACTER that BEST EXPRESSES the LIFE of CHRIST.
I believe HIS LOVE in me, isn't just a given. And that I need to begin to live the PRINCIPLES He challenges me to choose every day.
I believe wanting to live a Christ-like Life is a conscious commitment. And know, that there will be those, who are saved by believing in Him alone.
I believe we choose to grow more in His love, and with that, what we learn best, is how to forgive. I believe my love is not limited to remain the love of only a human; but instead has a purpose to grow in the HEART and SOUL OF MY FATHER, GOD.
Jesus and the American Dream
I just read an article here on B-net that states Jesus would disapprove of the American Dream. And although much of what is stated can be seen as a truth, I want to make the case for the Dream.
I Wonder?
So many people are waiting for Christ's return to earth, that it made me wonder, how would they know if He did?
Are they expecting that golden chariot in the sky? Are they expecting instant Peace to cover the earth with the White of snow?
What exactly do those who await His return believe they will see? And why do they believe He ever left them in the first place? Didn't He promise to be with us till the end of time? Or was that till the ends of time? And how will these who await Him, know when the Bridegroom cometh?
I believe those who are still waiting , will wait forever. I believe they know not what it is they need to see? Didnt Christ leave them with those same words? That they know not what they do?
I truly believe, those who are awaiting His return, need not wait. What I would ask them is, what has changed within them to make Christ enter into their world? Do they even know what is expected of them? And if they did, how willing would they be, to give up family and all the good they cling to the earth for. How many if any , will be saying ..."take me I'm yours!"
Few, if any will. The hold of the earth is strong. And their lack of awareness to what Christ asks of them, will keep them waiting till their end. How many would be more willing to change their moral character, when they prefer to look outside to others as their models of a Christian. They would prefer to cheer a young girl on Dancing with the Stars, than secure their own readiness to leave with One.
More are impressed with watching a movie about God, as if just watching it, proves where they are in Christ. How many of them would willingly accept the harshness of rejection, by being honest with those who need to hear the truth? I may sound like a non believer or a pessimist regarding my observation of the human race. But I have found few who want to really change who they are, as much as they would want others to believe they will. More are content with themselves mouthing the words, than making any attempt to grow more in His wisdom and understanding. For that, one needs passion. A passion that calls for more they they have to give.
If someone would say, Christ is on Beliefnet speaking to all who would listen and wish to change to conform more to Him. How many would sign on for the possibility? How many would even check it out to see if it were true?
I can only wonder? Because its harder to leave the intrenchment of ones mind, that believes its as good as it gets. It's easier to believe they are just what they are supposed to be, than to even make an attempt to become who they were truly meant to be.
For most it is impossible to surrender to the beauty of His truth, when they have yet to know what form His Beauty takes. They may wait forever, believing more in their time on earth as the goal, than in how they would live with Him in the Glory of Heaven.
The Universal Mind and Christ as Truth
Living, and believing, is a journey we all are taking. Some are taking the journey consciously, while others are unconsciously traveling by instinct or past history. Christ's statement of "though you be dead", supports the unconscious following of him, just by belief in who He is, alone.
And at every part of this journey, we use whatever means, unconscious or conscious that brings us a better understanding of ourselves and our relationship to God..
One part of my journey was ...a belief in Universal Consciousness. The nature of the Universal Mind is Omniscience (all knowing), Omnipotence (all powerful), Omnificence (all creative) and Omnipresence (always present). You have access to all knowledge, known and unknown; you have access to an infinite power for which nothing is impossible; you have access to the limitless creativity of the One Creator. All these attributes are present within you at all times in their potential form.
This belief claims you are a piece of God, who has these same qualities. It equalizes all the names man has given God, and makes them all the same. Allah and Christ in this belief are equalized, while at another time, according to the UN triangles group, calls Christ the Planetary God. This belief is also based on the science of energy. And as with everything in life, some truth exists in all of mans beliefs. Energy is of course part of who we are, but it offers us nothing tangible to follow. This belief is neutral in that energy has no conscience. And therefore it promotes the same in those who believe. Its the part of the Bible that says, the Sun shines on the good and the evil. So this belief, would not truly be the same, as to whom they also claim as the Planetary Christ.
And if we really see the qualities it says we gain with this belief...it answers what was sought in Eve's apple eating.
As the journey progresses, so too (if we are consciously seek Christ) will our understandings broaden. And what we believed at one point on the journey, may be left behind to learn more of what is true to us.
For me, Love didn't bring me happiness as much as it brought pain. And because of this understanding, I learned TRUTH to me, was the LOVE I needed. Truth allows for forgiveness and understanding. Without it, all that exists is the lie.
Christ indeed had the energy , and spiritual powers spoken in the Universal Mind. However, His way gave us values, principles, and a command for personal responsibility , something the latter belief did not. His way doesn't equalize evil as the same as GOOD. His truth requires our awareness, not to gain the powers that are God's, but the LOVING TRUTH that opens the door for evil to be forgiven.
Only One Word Unites Us
We have become a country of "rights", "demands" and "false offenses".
We have individuals complaining about the Cross being offensive, rather than helping our Country carry its own cross. We can no longer claim we are a Country established on principles gotten from a God of Love. For saying we were founded on Judeo Christian values, for some reason causes a stir? What pray tell, is the offense? What pray tell is the replacement for those two religions, which gave the world civil order and a principle of Love?
Division happens when we separate from GOD. It happens in our daily lives, when we feel lonely or empty...It happened in the Garden of Eden, when we chose knowledge of the earth over the Oneness of God. It even happened when Christ Himself was crucified, for that moment of separation on the Cross, when He lost sight of who He was. When we lose sight of God, we also lose sight of the wholeness of our being. We lose the Oneness in " One Nation Under God". For there is only one WORD that unites all people...and that Word is the Word God.
Politics and Christianity
I hear much about can a Christian be a Democrat? Based upon what the Dems claim to believe "compassion towards the underdog", I would have believed the question would have been about being a Republican. You know those people who by their opposition , defines them as uncaring big business lovers.
And there in a nutshell live the untruths. Neither party should define your Christian character, they never will. Politics began as a matter of commerical trade, and government the source of our peoples territorial protection. Nothing to do with our Soul.
Through the years, government has taken on philosophies that has changed its purpose towards political powers sake, more than for the good of its people.
Power corrupts, it did to Judas, when He wanted Christ to establish a government on earth, rather than a place Judas himself, found beyond his belief.
I believe we need to rethink our governments duties, and limit it, to what it once was. I also believe, we have to choose to be either GOOD CHRISTIANS, or always wanting to be right, political dogs.
We have to realize, government was not founded to be a Charity. That was what churches and houses of worship were for. Churches were over taken by governments power. Believing the church had too much control over men!
People used to give a tithing to their churches, that would help those in their community in times of need. Yesterday the Admin. asked for their help with the influx of the South American children (illegals or the new word being used refugees) Even that should tell us that government can change a word to suit its needs. Even when it knew in Feb, what was going to be.
I believe, Christ can forgive each of us, for our individual misdeeds and choices. But He doesnt forgive a Government as a whole. His forgiveness looks into the heart of each individual. There is not one heart beating in government business, nor in its choices for what they believe is best. Each individual heart has its own purpose. Some for power , ego, philosophies, even some that would be completely against the character of God, like with "the ends justify the means". That is man's personal agenda, the philosophy that his power seeks.
Goverment will always do some good, but does more harm in how it has to go about it. Just look at all the hate partisianship instigates!
GOD will always unite us. When something terrible happens in our country or abroad, "we the people" move based on the charity of our hearts. However, when government determines who we are suppose to feel charitable about, there will always live a terrible divide. Why? because government is not the source of our hearts, its the power of our purses. And many times, we are at odds as to what we see is of value.
And lastly, the subject of abortion should make us think not about others, but what do we value as Christians? God allows for all laws we make, but not every law we make, is for His good. And abortion for our God who said He IS LIFE, ought to be a principle we must take seriously. You cant be for Him as Life, and then be willing to kill what He has allowed to concieve. This is the deciding factor of who we are as Chrisitans. This if nothing else, should be our guide. As Christians we should give far more support to the young women who choose to keep their babies or give them up for adoption. Our healthcare should be in complete support of them.
Politics should never be how you define youself as a Christian. Governments purpose will never express the principles we are supposed to follow. Abortion and war and two very serious values we must consider. Government tells us no one is above the law, but we will always find someone in government who doesnt live what they say. It's because government contains all of mans sins and goodness, because government is a matter of man.
And thats the point. Christianity says we are to follow Christ, His purpose lives far beyond the politics of mans power. If you want to seem powerful, do all that the world asks.
If you want to be of Christ, do all He asks of YOU the individual to do, and be.
Never let politics be your definer or replacement.
A Gift For All Seasons
I Learn , When I Return to My Quiet Place
I believe what we all need, is more of Christ in our lives. Daily, I examine both my purpose and my motives. I live my life in a self examined world. Almost on a daily basis , I see my purpose not questioned, but greater understood. Fequently I say " Today I realized my purpose". Because although I know my purpose is to write about how much I love my Christ/God. I also am aware that those who read my words, also have a purpose in reading them.
Its not for me to judge who will listen to the words I share. Or what they will do about them. And this I believe is my newest revelation. That the words I speak dont truly belong to me, they are inspired by my love of Him.
The words I write, are for Christ to use in those who may read them. It should have nothing to do with me. What I realized in coming home to my quiet place, was that I had a fear. The fear was, that my words would elevate me more, with those who know me. Rather than see Him! It was that, that made me want to leave those I love.
I feared the idea of making a false God before Him. That the words I shared would place the light more on me, than on He who sent me. Who am I to believe I could lead people to God, when its each heart that is given its purpose in Him? All I can do is express how I feel. All I can do is express how much He has touched my heart. How much He has been my strength, when I thought all I loved was lost. I still need this quiet place to express my love, but with no expectations or thought of anything more.
What I Believe
Having always believed the true expression of Christ , comes to us through modeling His Good Character. I have thought more on the values and Virtues His Life has impressed on our Immortal Soul.
Virtues develop as we become more and more aware of what we value. They become a part of our character, the more we align ourselves to the GOOD that is the Character of Christ. They can only be understood and developed by self awareness.
They are products of ones understanding of truth. They are gifts from God given us through the Soul.
Today, I awoke with the thought of Sincerity. Sincerity is a virtue, one would think of the heart. Instead, it is a value and virtue of the MIND.
Sincerity requires self awareness. It suggests an awareness of deception, or even a simple lack of truth, within the heart.
Sincerity requires thougthfulness. The term "whatever" could never exist, where sincerity lives.
Sincerity holds no guile.
with sincerity I am happy to be back writing on beliefnet.. feels most like home.
My New Year Prayer
May this New Year bring more people to Christ.
May His Love influence our thoughts and actions.
May we allow our character to reflect more of His.
May we look to be more like Him, than want others to look at us.
May Christ heal all wounds, touch all hearts, and speak His truth to those who are listening.
May our culture be more concerned with His presence within us, than what show on TV best represents our values.
May one virtue emerge in your heart, that transforms your being into His best reflection. May all who expect Him to return to earth, realize its our imitation of His Being, that will be that return!
God Bless Us All, and may all we need to grow more in Christ, be there for us to embrace.

There are rumors of a cold front in Texas in August. That's a little strange. Sunny, hot and humid today. High of 96. On Tuesday the weak front will be moving drifting down into the state. By Tuesday afternoon it will be along the IH10 corridor and helping to trigger a few showers in our region. By Wednesday the front will wash out and only a few lingering showers possible during the afternoon hours. By Thursday the hot and dry conditions will reestablish continuing the dog days of summer for us.

OAO Sberbank, Russia's biggest lender, slid the most in four weeks as the ruble weakened for a second day against the dollar.
The stock lost 6 percent to 77.11 rubles, the steepest loss since Oct. 4. A weaker ruble encourages Russians to withdraw and convert ruble deposits, Sberbank's main source of funding.
