SEATTLE – The Washington State Department of Transportation, the Port of Seattle and Sound Transit honored contractors on their projects – Seattle Tunnel Partners, Manson Construction Co. and Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc., respectively – for their outreach and inclusion of small and disadvantaged businesses in construction projects. The agencies presented their "Champion of Inclusion" awards at an event Nov. 16 at the Port of Seattle.
Seattle Tunnel Partners, the design-builder for the State Route 99 Tunnel Project in Seattle, received recognition from WSDOT for its innovative efforts to team up with small businesses and those owned by minorities and women on their $1.35 billion contract. Within the first year of a six-year contract, the tunnel team, a joint venture of Dragados USA and Tutor Perini Corp., awarded contracts worth $8 million to 30 qualified firms and has recruited firms in non-traditional areas for design-build projects, such as architecture and design.
"Seattle Tunnel Partners has done an outstanding job of reaching out and hiring businesses owned by minorities and women," said Transportation Secretary Paula Hammond. "Their efforts are putting people to work with living-wage jobs and helping promote economic recovery in our communities."
Manson Construction Co. is the Port of Seattle's "Champion of Inclusion" award recipient. For many years, the company, which is a family-owned and operated marine construction and dredging business headquartered in Seattle, has demonstrated their commitment to utilizing small businesses and providing contracting opportunities to small firms. Manson Construction sponsors small business training classes and seminars designed to educate and contribute to the success and growth of small firms in the Puget Sound region.
"Small businesses are vital to the region's economy, and the port is committed to providing opportunities to them whenever we can," said Port of Seattle CEO Tay Yoshitani. "We are pleased to honor Manson for their partnership in helping those businesses to generate more jobs and economic growth for Seattle."
Sound Transit honored Parsons Brinckerhoff, a global infrastructure consulting firm, for its work in involving small and disadvantaged businesses in Link light rail construction projects. On its two contracts, Parsons Brinckerhoff achieved a 32.4 percent and 36.7 percent small and disadvantaged business participation rate, exceeding its goals. "We are pleased to have such an outstanding partner in building a regional transit system that will serve 358,000 riders a day by 2030," said Sound Transit CEO Joni Earl.
WSDOT, the Port of Seattle and Sound Transit work to create a level playing field and increase the opportunities for minority and women-owned small businesses on federal-aid construction projects. Each agency sets individual project goals for contractors to use certified DBE firms. Goals are based on formulas that consider the type of project work; the location and size of the project; and the availability of ready, willing and able DBEs to perform work on the project.

The Holidays Bring Many Bowl Games
full description - content: (Orland, FL) If you like football and parking on your couch to watch the bowl games, you certainly have ample opportunities to do so over the holidays. There are 39 bowl games, most named after the businesses sponsoring them. There's the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the Popeyes Bahama Bowl, the Duck Commander Independence Bowl, the Goodyear Cotton Bowl and the Go Daddy Bowl to name a few. The most important bowl to Minnesotans, however, is the Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl taking place Thursday, January 1st from Orlando, Florida.

Just getting us started for the week. Looking forward to seeing what everyone has to post.
I have been practicing a lot the past week. I want to share one SOOC (with no sharpening) to see what you all think. Is it acceptable noise? The focus looks great on this one, especially for it being indoors.
This is with the 85mm, which I gave back to my friend. 1/320 f/3.2 ISO 3200
866A4783 by Stephanie.Miller, on Flickr
Here is the link to the full size file to view the noise and focus:
Steph ... sorry you had to return the 85mm, you have really been rocking that lens!
I pulled up the full size image and both focus and noise look acceptable to me. It's not super wide open, so it certainly looks to me like all of his face is in focus - eyes, nose, mouth, even hair (on his forehead).
My D80 doesn't even go to ISO 3200, so I am jealous! I get so much noise that I rarely go above 800 (and even then I know I'm going to have to run it through noiseware).
I love this serious look on Carson's face
Good to know! I think that maybe I have been slacking off and not paying attention to my settings, and creating issues that aren't there. I have also switched back to focusing with the shutter instead of BBF, and have noticed a difference. Another thing I need to do is use a DOF calculator. I still sometimes feel like the focus will catch in the wrong spot when I specifically focus on the eye and don't move the camera. I think some of it has to do with lighting, but I thought this cameras focus system was suppose to be better than that.
Hmmm... I haven't been paying attention to noise. But I will try to replicate this condition to see if I get this much noise. But focus looks really good.

Just chug-chug-chugging along.
Stephanie just to give you a bit of a comparison on the noise. I shot this picture of my son with the 85 mm at f2.2 with ISO 5000. You can view the original in my flickr.

Hi Nichole!
What a great set! Here are my specific thoughts ...
#1. You got GREAT focus here, especially for an aperture of f/1.8! I love the use of the rr tracks as a trailing line. I'm at work, so I can't comment on color. The only thing I can think of for improvement is that I wish there was more light in her eyes. This can be done a few ways. One way is to take the shot with her looking up at you. For someone standing, this would probably mean you would need a step stool. You can also use a fill flash or a reflector. On the whole though, I love this one!
#2. Another great use of the rr tracks here! It looks like she's looking up at you here and I can see a lot more detail in her eyes this way. Watch the finger & elbow chops. I love her bright & colorful look next to the industrial look of the tracks. I wish she was sitting up a bit more - a straight back would be a more flattering pose, I think. Again, REALLY nice focus for such a wide open aperture. How far were you from her? I'm seriously impressed!
#3. what a truly great location for your shoot! These guys look nice and relaxed too. I find that hard to get w/ most guys. Good job! I would probably crop this one down a bit more - even if it means losing some of the background. I would trim a bit off the left side and the top of the frame so that the tree trunk was roughly at that left third mark.
Thanks for sharing!
dp - sorry!

I am recovering from hovering (also called reaching a plateau) at a particular weight rather than moving forward, I had to really do some evaluating and changing to find out the perfect combination to get me started again. I am sharing what I came up with in hopes that it will help others trapped in the hover flight pattern.
The first thing I did was look at my new medications. If I am having problems with losing weight I always check to see if my doctor had given me a new med that has the side effects of weight gain first. If none of my medications seem to be the culprit I rev up my exercise. This last time, I had to actually change my exercises to finally get my weight loss going again. I think our bodies become accustomed to the same exercises unless we alternate and use a variety of exercises.
I made sure that I drank lots of water, especially right after a meal. I read somewhere that drinking 15 ounces of water after a meal will curb your appetite and will help with digestion and flushing out your system and increase your metabolism.
Also, when using your own foods in your nutrition program, and not using SP's foods and recipes, it is best to follow the ratios that are found by clicking on "see today's full report" on your nutrition page. The chart showing the protein/ fat/carb ration is at the bottom of that page.
Two other things that seems to make losing weight difficult is stress and lack of sleep. You might want to use some relaxation techniques when or if you feel stressed during the day. Sometimes I visualize what is causing stress as hanging on me and then grab it and throw it off. You can also let it drain into your hands and shake it off that way. If you use this with yoga breathing techniques it really helps. I get plenty of sleep (8 hours), but not too much. Without sleep I have problems losing any weight.
I also don't drink pop and avoid caffeine, though I do have only a half cup of coffee in the mornings (my only caffeine). Nutritionally I get plenty of fiber and take calcium supplements. I have found that getting plenty of calcium actually helps me lose weight.
Anything that increases the metabolism will help. Those things are:
Exercise--especially strength training
Eating several smaller meals per day
There is some evidence that green tea helps but it is inconclusive.
Drinking water helps your liver concentrate more on metabolism than water retention. Depriving yourself of water can cause your body to horde water rather than burn calories.
Some articles say that some foods will increase your metabolism but others say that this is a myth so you are better just eating healthy and relying on techniques that have been proved to raise metabolism.
I hope some of this tips will help others as they have helped me. I lost 4 pounds in the last four weeks so I am in a forward flight pattern now instead of circling. I reached a goal which was to get into the 160s. Now with everyone's support I hope to be able to steadily lose and maintain 160- 165 for my next goal. We will see how that goes. With summer approaching I hope to take advantage of all the outdoor exercise I can get.
When it comes to listing low impact exercises that I prefer, I have found walking and hiking are my top two choices. Playing my fiddle is next. If you play an instrument that requires a lot of movement or with which you can incorporate a lot of movement this is an excellent way to get exercise and practice as well. Aerobics with music follows that or just dancing in your living room to the music is also a fun way to get exercise and just kick back and enjoy yourself.
As for other exercises, I guess my favorites would include Stair stepping with an air stair stepper and riding a stationary bike especially on a rainy or cold day.
I have added some strength training with low weights. These are to deal with that excess skin that hangs from your arms when the weight starts to leave.
Other exercise tools that help are the stability ball, and resistance bands. Just sitting on a stability ball as you work on your computer adds up to calories burned. You can use it while you are watching TV, with weights, and in conjunction with many exercises to add balance skills safely. Resistance bands can be used for so many things other than the typical exercises associated with them. I have even used them to put my back back in place when I couldn't get to a chiropractor.
All of the above exercises and exercise equipment allows for moderation and variation when it comes to FM.
I do exercises that require balance by standing in the doorway and holding on the sides for support and balance. I can do very little balance and yoga exercises in the conventional way because I do have poor balance and I can't get up off the ground once I get down without help.
I started practicing yoga 40 years ago when I was more flexible than I am now and before FM. I still do yoga breathing but I can't do most of the postures or exercises anymore, though, because the ones I did most required me being on the floor. There are a few that don't, but they require balance that I don't have anymore either, so I have had to go to doorways to practice some just to stay safe.
Here are a few that work for me. I cannot do them like it shows them on the santosha link but you can do the best you can. They have them listed there as to the level of difficulty so you might want to choose the least difficult ones. The sites that give examples of how these are done are listed first.
www.santosha.com/asanas/ www.yogasite.com/postures.html
One exercise that you can use seated at your desk to relieve neck tension and stress is to relax and bend your head forward. Breathing in roll your head to the right side and on until it is tilted back. Return your head slowly to the bent forward position breathing out. Do the same moving your head to the left. It is also a good tension breaker before doing any other yoga.
Trikona-asana - The Triangle Pose helps to stretch and relax the back, shoulders, legs and arms, increases the flow of blood to the head, and is good for the muscles of the thighs and calves. It also is good for lower back pain.
Nataraja-asana - The King of the Dance Pose is good for balance and concentration, and tones the muscles in the hips, legs, and chest. I put my hands on a wall sometimes for this one as my balance is not good anymore.
Ardhachandra-asana - The Half-moon Pose is good for stretching, balance, lower back, abdomen and chest.
Gomukha-asana- Cow Face Pose is good for arms, upper back, chest and the sides of the chest and abdomen. I do not sit on the floor to do it but do only the upper half and am not able to do this like it shows.
Ekapada-asana - One-legged posture strengthens leg muscles, improves sense of balance and helps sharpen concentration. I do a modified version of this in the doorway and rest one hand on the side of the door frame and then alternate.
This site has an article that is an overview of it
Pictured above is Muddy, a wild land turtle that comes to our porch for food every year. She has become so tame she will climb up and look in the screen door to see if anyone is around if nothing is out for her. As you can see she is not afraid of us at all and not even being rubbed on her head wll distract her from her goal, which is her favorite healthy food, blackberries.
Weight Loss Lessons Learned from Aesop
I have been at a one pound weight loss for some time until I fell off the wagon one week and gained 2. Now I am back on track with my one pound.
At first I was concerned because at one point I had had a 2 pound loss a week, but it didn't take long to figure out if I am going forward and not backward, that is a good thing! Yes, I think a one pound weight loss is great when it is consistent and persistent.
I learned from my courses in college in psychology that social or individual change is not possible without a overall change in attitude. It is easy to change a response for the short term, but unless that response is heart felt and a result of a true change in attitude it will not last and the goal will be forgotten.
Successful weight loss is like running a marathon as opposed to a short sprint. To finish in a marathon you cannot give in to the desire to run in short bursts of speed, but rather run with the attitude and long term objective of diligently putting forth a steady effort and staying consistently focused on your goals.
I think Aesop had it right in his rendition of the "Tortoise and the Hare." The hare made great, even awesome sporadic efforts, in running the race, only to get winded, take breaks, and get distracted in his/her goals. The tortoise, on the other hand, won the race inch by inch through persistence and focus. I want to be that tortoise!
I really believe all of us need to tell our doctors about Spark People. I am sure most doctors would accept this site if they knew about it, because it teaches the same strategies the doctors try to tell their patients about when we ask how to lose weight. In reality SP is a doctor's friend.
My doctor noticed my weight loss. I told him about the SP program and that it was free. I told him about the nutrition and fitness trackers, the teams that we can join where we share information with others who have our medical conditions or special interests, the support system both for encouragement when we lose weight or support if we should have a temporary set back, the coaches who are available to us when we have questions, the low calorie recipes and calorie finder for meals we can buy in our local grocery stores, and the articles about medical conditions, weight loss, and more. I even told him about the points, trophies, spark goodies, and spark mail.
He was not only for it but said he would tell his other patients about it because so many of his patients could not afford a paid weight loss program. He took down the website url to look at and pass it along and told me to keep doing what I was doing.
When I returned it was the week after having 2 b-day parties, company, my mom in the hospital and having to eat hospital food and eat out of vending machines. I had a 2 pound weight gain and I was afraid I had failed SP, my doctor, and mostly myself.
Surprise! Both he and his nurse told me that those things happened sometimes and that my weight gain could have been a much higher under the circumstances had I not had a good support system. They were happy to know that I had not given up and I was still with SP and going to stay on the diet plan. They say the support provided here at SP is an excellent way to keep people on track with their diets even when circumstances catch up to them and temporarily derail them.
I hope to show a nice weight loss again when I go back to his office and weigh in. Both my doctor and his nurse are also inspiring me and encouraging me to continue with SP's weight loss program and are glad that SP his here for free to those who need it and especially there for referral to those who cannot afford to pay for commercial plan.
I have a great health and wellness team in my doctor and nurse and Sparkpeople.com!
If you are having problems losing weight and you think you are doing all the right things here are some things to check. First, I would not get too worried at this point. Congratulate yourself for your sincere effort. Praying can be nothing but a positive, but praying alone isn't going to cut it. God expects us to do our part as well. You can't expect God to make you an example of physical fitness and health, if you are not going to commit yourself to practicing good nutrition and fitness habits necessary to achieve your goal.
If you are doing your part, and I am sure most of us are really trying here, then perhaps the information you are using is flawed somewhere. This is also assuming that before dieting you have had a complete physical and there are no medical problems that need to be addressed in your weight loss program. (You should take this precaution before you subscribe or join any gym or weight loss program.)
If medications or a medical condition is interfering with your weight loss, you need to know about it. Check any meds you are taking to see if weight gain is a side effect. If so, you can ask your doctor if there are alternatives which don't cause weight gain. If you have a thyroid problem, the doctor can prescribe what you need to regulate it. If you are pre diabetic, you need to know. These tests are not unrealistic and in many states they can be done at your county health unit or once a year at a county health fair in your area for minimal cost.
If you opt for gyms, or professional trainers make sure they are not going to require you to purchase extras such as special dinners, supplements, etc. in addition to the price quoted. If you find yourself involved with a plan like this you may wish to opt out at your first opportunity if you feel the cost is becoming prohibitive. While some products might be helpful they may not be necessary and you should not have to buy into additional products in your weight loss.
Concerning calories, all calories are not alike. In preparing meals consider nutrition. Are you balancing proteins, fats, and carbs? What kind of calories are you eating? Are you following the glycemic index to select those foods with a low glycemic number? You can use the following sites to check and see. www.womentowomen.com/insulinresistance/gly www.glycemicindex.com/
If you are not achieving an average weight loss of one to two pounds a week, there are some other areas where you might find the solutions to a lack of progress. While you may be counting your calories, what kind of exercises are you doing? Did you find them on SP or did a personal trainer advise some for you? Are you doing those exercises as recommended? How long are you exercising? At what intensity are you exercising or what intensity level has been recommended for you? All exercise is not the same. Intensity of exercise makes a difference. Perhaps you need to step up the intensity.
If everything is fine in the intensity and the focus of your exercise, another area (which I discovered the hard way) where the fat burning process can be increased is in mixing up the exercise routine. The body gets used to routines and makes the adjustments needed to keep everything status quo if we will let this happen. I had to gain 2 pounds to discover this and correct it.
My doctor says that I must exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes non stop for any weight loss benefits. Less time is good for cardio but not for losing weight. I started with 20 minutes and am working toward a consistent 45 minutes at least 3 times a week. You can expend more calories if you do this daily.
He also advises overall body exercises. Is your exercise aimed at just one part of your body? Maybe you are not giving your body an overall workout. Exercises that target only one area of your body are not likely to make the difference that whole body workouts do. I have read that there are four major problem areas which need to be addressed: the upper thigh area, the upper arm area, the waist area and the stomach area. There are different takes on this depending on what you read.
Covering the basics of 1) knowing your medical condition or limitations and adjusting for them, 2) informing yourself on good nutrition practices (learning to balance your proteins, fats, and carbs, and eating smaller amounts more frequently, etc.), 3) exercising correctly (frequency, amount of time per session, number of days per week, intensity, and variety) can all be major factors in the amount of weight loss you achieve.
In addition to the mechanics of weight loss there are also emotional and every day life factors that enter in. Are you stressed, overworked, having a temporary illness, having to eat out too much, too much celebrating, too much company who want to eat fat food and lots of it, family who don't like the good and right food choices and whine when you don't fix the wrong ones?
For all of the above situations I have found my SP teams support and message boards essential to my motivation and progress.
I hope that some of this information I have accumulated is helpful. If you use some of the information here in my blog and the information provided on SP in your healthy eating plan, please do include prayer along with these guidelines. Through God we find strength to do the things we could never do on our own.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Php 4:13

Morning guys,
22:00 last night (Tues 19th March 2007) looks like the school had a power cut. All the servers went down and re-booted fine, except the Windows 2003 Exchange Server.
This came up with <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe is missing or corrupted. Please re-install this file and re-boot (or something similar) message.
I've re-booted with the Server 2003 install CD in and gone to copy this file back onto the HDD though the Recovery Console only to find that my Windows folder is not a folder000.chk folder and inside is all chk files.
So, I'm screwed in recovery for this. The HDD is also now marked as degraded, so I'm going to send that back for a replacement (Thanks Maxtor).
The HDD's are 2x Maxtor 160GB drives, running mirrored. Unfortunately, it looks like the borked Windows folder has been mirrored as well.
I know I'm going to have to re-build. I have the data backed up daily through an Iomega Rev Drive.
What steps do I need to take now. Do I just re-build the Exchange 2003 Server and give it the same name as it was before the crash? I'm stuck now and hope someone can help me. (Geoff / Ric_ ) or anyone else out there.
I hope someone can help, and this will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

Miami-Dade Has the 7th Largest Gang Population in America
Categories: Crime
A new report by the FBI estimates that in 2010 Miami-Dade has 16,684 gang members. That includes 16,646 members of street gangs, and 38 members of motorcycle gangs. On the east coast, only Essex County in New Jersey has more, with an estimated 17,001 gang members (though it has a considerably smaller overall population).
Broward and Palm Beach Counties are estimated to have gang populations somewhere between 1000 and 5000 members.
Indecently, the reports also shows that Miami-Dade has the second-highest incidence of violent crime in the country. Not all of that crime is gang-related.
The report also highlights the growing threats of gangs operating in illegal immigration, Juggalos, Haitian gangs, and, we kid you not, gangs that operate in the Second Life virtual world.

Cold applied bitumen adhesive which is trowel-applied with a quick bond for immediate and workable felt application.
"i am a experienced DIY enthusiast and have re felted several roof in the past and though i would give this a go never again i found this product very hard to use . it is very stiff and nearly impossible to spread with a trowel as recommend. the coverage is very poor should be 32 sqM but so stiff impossible to achieve. i just about managed a 12m sq roof and that was spreading as thin as i could manage. i used a grouting trowel as a normal trowel was never going to work. personally i would NOT buy this product it is expensive and not good value for money"
"Ordered this product from wickes due to the fact that i had placed a large order with them for other items - I only ordrered this as it is the only 25ltr tub they do - said on the instrucions it was a trowel application and could be laid easily - not true - had to be warmed through first in order to get it workable - went on too thick and didnt cover what it was supposed to do - both myself and my partner now have forearms like popeye as it takes that much effort to apply and both have handfulls of blisters - dont buy this go get a cheaper one that works better and covers more"

This is the moment where I get to reveal the covers for Duck Tales #5, the beginning of the great Duck Tales/Darkwing Duck crossover! As I have proclaimed (to the point of annoyance), the Carl Barks Scrooge comics were one of my major influences as a budding funny book drawer. No more cameos and easter eggs for me. I gets to draw me some Scrooge and the nephews in a real story. The color covers are on the Kaboom site but as often like to do, here's the black and white art to take a gander at.
And also that month we conclude the DW Mayoral arc with issue 16

Helen of Znojmo
|Helen of Znojmo
|High Duchess consort of Poland
|Maria, Grand Princess of Kiev
Leszek the White
Konrad I of Masovia
|Přemyslid dynasty (by birth)
House of Piast (by marriage)
|Conrad II of Znojmo
|Maria of Serbia
Helena of Znojmo (Czech: Helena Znojemská; Polish: Helena znojemska; c. 1141[1]–1202/06[2]) was a Bohemian princess, a member of the Přemyslid dynasty. She was the daughter of Duke Conrad II of Znojmo and his Serbian wife Maria of Rascia (daughter of Uroš I). Helena was probably named after her maternal aunt, Queen Helena of Hungary, wife of King Béla II.[3]
Born as Duchess of Znojmo Appanage (named after its centre, the town Znojmo) in southern Moravia, later became thanks to marriage Duchess of Masovia (1186–1194) and Duchess-regent of Cracow (Kraków), Sandomierz and Masovia on behalf of her minor son during 1194–1199/1200.
Helen married the Casimir II the Just, youngest son of Bolesław III Wrymouth, probably shortly after his return from captivity.[4]
When on 1 May 1194 Helen's husband died, presumably as a result of a heart attack,[5] he left her with their two minor sons on whose behalf she took regency of Lesser Poland and Masovia with blessings from Bishop of Kraków Fulko and Kraków Voivode.
Helen's regency was not an easy one, because other princes threatened the minors., their own uncle Mieszko III the Old was after Kraków. Bloody stocks, which were the culminating moment of the Battle of Mozgawa between Helen and Mieszko, it lasted until 1198 when they reached an agreement with Duke of Greater Poland. Mieszko would take Kraków, in return for which he gave Helen and her sons Kuyavia. Independent authority over the inheritance was taken on by Leszek the White who took over in 1199 or 1200. The great political and intelligent Helen testied words written in the chronicle of Vincent Kadlubek, who certainly knew the princess in person. According to him Helen was "a woman with greater wisdom than usually women have".
Helen of Znojmo died between 1202 and 1206,[6] probably on April 2.[7]
Helen and Casimir had the following children:

Dow bounces from 2-day slide to a 3-digit gainBy DANIEL WAGNER
The Associated Press | February 23,2013Strong earnings from big U.S. companies pushed the Dow Jones industrial average to a rare triple-digit gain Friday, but the S&P 500 index still posted its first weekly loss of the year.
Hewlett-Packard had the biggest gain in the Dow and the Standard & Poors 500 index. It posted fiscal first-quarter earnings late Thursday that beat all forecasts, a relief after months of bad news for the computer maker. H-P rose $2.10, or 12.3 percent, to $19.20.
Cabot Oil & Gas Corp. was the S&P 500s second-best performer, jumping a day after reporting earnings that beat analysts expectations. It rose $5.95, or 11.1 percent, to $59.81.
American International Group Inc. rose after its fourth-quarter operating results exceeded analysts forecasts. The companys net loss was $4 billion, mainly because of claims related to Superstorm Sandy, in the first full quarter after it finished repaying its $182 billion government bailout. AIG rose $1.17, or 3.1 percent, to $38.45.
The Dow closed up 119.95 points, or 0.9 percent, at 14,000.57 its third-biggest gain this year. The S&P 500 rose 13.18 points, also 0.9 percent, to 1,515.60. The Nasdaq composite index rose 30.33, or 1 percent, to 3,161.82.
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed slightly lower for the week, while the Dow edged higher.
Bill Stone, chief investment strategist with PNC Wealth Management, said he expects stocks to hold up despite this weeks volatility.
Youre going to get bumps and bruises along the way, but we do believe things are actually getting better, so I think theres underlying demand for stocks, Stone said.
Spooked investors sent stocks plunging Wednesday after minutes from the Federal Reserves latest policy meeting revealed disagreement over how long to keep buying bonds in an effort to boost the economy. The slide continued Thursday. The Dow lost 155 points over those two days.
Many analysts say the Feds bond-buying and resulting low interest rates have driven this years stock rally, which lifted indexes to their highest levels since before the 2008 financial crisis. The Dow is now just 164 points below its record close of 14,164 reached in October 2007.
U.S. stocks followed European stocks higher after a survey of German business optimism rose sharply, adding to evidence that the country will avoid a recession. Germanys economic vitality is crucial for the beleaguered region, offsetting economic contraction in surrounding countries.
Germany is really the bedrock, Stone said. If it gives way, then you have real problems.
Frances CAC-40 closed up 2.2 percent, Germanys DAX 1 percent.
Among other stocks moving on corporate news:
Abercrombie & Fitch sank after a key sales metric declined in the all-important holiday quarter. The stock fell $2.19, or 4.5 percent, to $46.86.
WebMD Health Corp. soared after the health website operator reported better-than-expected revenue and an optimistic outlook for 2013. The stock rose $4.14, or 25.4 percent, to $20.44.
Texas Instruments Inc. rose strongly after saying it will increase its dividend by one-third and buy back up to $5 billion more of its own stock. TI gained $1.70, or 5.2 percent, to $34.18.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Can the U.S. Full StoryJACKSON CENTER, Ohio Bob Wheeler still gets the question sometimes when people find out he runs...

Skip to content, or skip to search.
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Lupita Nyong'o, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Freida Pinto attended.
One final outfit change.
Your two favorites!
The third entry in the Richard Linklater–Ethan Hawke–Julie Delpy relationship trilogy.
This time with Julie Delpy and Richard Linklater.
They made an Alamo Drafthouse PSA.
This is not really the kind of movie that requires a spoiler alert, but fine!
In appreciation.
Delpy: "In my last film, my soul was in Vincent Gallo's underwear, so it's hard for me to say!"
Hint: It's a sex act.
Vulture's got five exclusive pictures from the film.
The whole gang's back together: Linklater, Hawke, Delpy.
Daniel Radcliffe, Allison Janney, and more.
Okay, Julie Delpy is pretty incredible, too.
And it's called Before Midnight.
Julie Delpy's follow up to 2 Days in Paris is an assured, sensitive, and occasionally very funny relationship comedy.
"There's gonna be bullsh*t anyway — there's always bullsh*t in this business — but to have the least possible bullsh*t is actually great."
Plus: Will Ferrell hysterically bemoaned that "trampire" Kristen Stewart's infidelity, and more, on our daily late-night roundup.
Chris Rock wants to get a little frisky, but Julie Delpy's amorous sister thwarts his intentions.
Julie Delpy and Chris Rock's indie romance.

Except, it wasn't "cookie" dough, because it had no chocolate. And one of my rules is, if it doesn't have chocolate, it's not a cookie, it's a cracker.
But, with the easy addition of a cup of chocolate chips, it has been promoted to "cookie."
And good cookies they were, too.

Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people's hats off--then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. – Moby-Dick (Rockwell Kent, Illustrator)
Why does November feel like the month the Earth stood still? Or imploded? Or got hit by that tsunami in the movie 2012?
It seems like this month all the upheavals in the publishing industry started to coalesce into one big flaming mess on the order of the Hindenburg. At least, that's how it sounded on various blogs and comment sections, where rhetoric sometimes reached conflagration levels.
All the anxiety over eBooks and eReaders, the move of some big publishers into the self-publishing market, the revelation of paltry incomes associated even with a New York Times bestselling book, and the apprehension of authors and agents over just how anybody is going make any kind of a buck as a novelist anymore – it all seemed to come to a head this month.
Why should this be so?
First, the very pace of change in our world is now such that major developments happen almost as fast as chair throwing incidents on Jerry Springer. And humans naturally feel anxious about change until we can catch up and figure out what's going on. But we always seem to feel a few steps behind these days.
How fast are things moving? Already there's talk that the Kindle is on the way out. Authors and publishers are even now embedding links to websites and YouTube for added content in digital novels, links which can be accessed on, say, an iPhone but not a Kindle. There's even a name for such digi-novels: Vooks.
Which leads to the technological changes that seem poised to alter the paradigms we've lived with for centuries, such as books on paper being paid for by readers. No one knows what a paradigm shift feels like until they've actually been through it, and we haven't been through it yet. We're inside it.
So as all this is happening, hands are being wrung throughout cyberspace. The only thing we know for certain is nothing is certain, and the landscape we see today will be very different tomorrow.
I have but two predictions:
1. People are still going to want good stories to read.
2. They're not going to pay as much money to get them.
As to #1, writers need to do what they've always done: write and write well. Over and over. That calls for commitment to the craft and resistance to the "easy way" of self-publishing.
Let's be blunt. We all know the overwhelming majority of self-published books aren't good enough to be published the traditional way. That doesn't mean there aren't exceptions. There are. But they are as rare as Susan Boyle.
Yes, I do believe authors will do more direct selling in the future. They will make their stuff available in digital form directly. But they still have to prove themselves to be good writers, or people won't buy.
Which leads to #2. Consumers are being trained to pay $10 or less for books. This means hardcovers are probably a dinosaur. The mastodons are in the tar pits.
But there will still be a market for books, because of #1. You know what it feels like? The mass market paperback boom post-World War II. Low price point, ease of use. The eBook revolution may be recreating this type of market. (According to Kelly Gallagher, VP of Publishing Services at RR Bowker, eBook consumption favors fiction over nonfiction at a rate disproportionate to print).
The cream will rise to the top. Those novelists who can deliver, book after book, are going to gain a following and have the chance to make some coin.
EBooks still represent only a small portion of the book market, by the way. I mean, let's not be hasty. The "early adopters" drove sales of eReaders over the last year. The curve is going to flatten in 2010 or 2011. It's not going to be like the personal computer boom. We're talking about a convenience rather than a necessity. (That may change somewhat as businesses find ways to use the ever improving devices. But will they become "little laptops"? I don't think so because we already have something called . . . a laptop).
How far eReaders will eventually reach is still a tough call. I know there are purveyors of pervasiveness out there, but hold the iPhone. I've pointedly spoken to several twenty-something readers over the past few weeks, and was gobsmacked when none of them liked eReaders. They were paper people! Astonishing.
So whenever I get to feeling like old Ishmael, with a "damp, drizzly November of the soul," and when I, too, want to go outside and knock some hats off, I remember that fiction writers will always be around. The world needs us.
Maybe now more than ever.

Security and contentment can come only through interdependence of every man upon every other man.Walter Russell
Whatever we are waiting for - peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.Sarah Ban Breathnach
May this Valentine's Day be filled with love, understanding, and contentment as you journey through life with those you hold dearDarly Henerson
Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.Lao Tzu
Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.Grenville Kleiser
True humility is contentment.Henri Frederic Amiel
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.Buddha
Thanksgiving like contentment is a learned attribute. The person who hasn't learned to be content we will not be thankful for he lives with the delusion he deserves more or something better.Robert Flatt
Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.Buddha
Yes, in the poor man's garden grow far more than herbs and flowers kind thoughts, contentment, peace of mind, and joy for weary hours.Mary Howitt 1799
Contentment is the capital which will never diminish.Ali bin Abu-Talib
Children internalize their parents' unhappiness. Fortunately, they absorb our contentment just as readily.Lucille Dsire Ball
One should receive pleasures that bring contentment to the Creator. This means that the creature will want to bestow upon the Creator, and will have fear of the Creator, of receiving for oneself, since reception of pleasure - when one receives for one's own benefit - removes him from cleaving to the Creator.Baruch Shalom Ashlag
"Behold yon miserable creature. That Point is a Being like ourselves, but confined to the non-dimensional Gulf. He is himself his own World, his own Universe; of any other than himself he can form no conception; he knows not Length, nor Breadth, nor Height, for he has had no experience of them; he has no cognizance even of the number Two; nor has he a thought of Plurality; for he is himself his One and All, being really Nothing. Yet mark his perfect self-contentment, and hence learn this lesson, that to be self-contented is to be vile and ignorant, and that to aspire is better than to be blindly and impotently happy. Now listen." He ceased; and there arose from the little buzzing creature a tiny, low, monotonous, but distinct tinkling, as from one of your Spaceland phonographs, from which I caught these words, "Infinite beatitude of existence! It is; and there is none else beside It."Edwin Abbott
any lasting satisfaction, any contentment that we can achieve, is the result of forgetting self, or merging subject with object in a harmony that is of body, mind and spirit.Aga Khan III

Great unit
Comments about Belkin WeMo Light Switch:
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that when setting it up Belkin still has a few kinks in the software and the firm ware updating. It gives erroneous feedback while setting it up saying it is setup then it isn't. After about 10 minutes it settles down and is functional and works. Belkin needs to tweak their software and get the daylight savings time straightened out. But when it works it works well.

Zim Integrated Shipping Services imposed a general rate increase on westbound cargo from the Indian Subcontinent to North Europe and the Mediterranean, starting Feb. 1.
The Israel-based container line joins other major ocean carriers in seeking rate restoration on Asia-Europe-Mediterranean trade lanes. The planned GRI will be $200 per 20-foot equivalent unit.
"This rate increase is necessary in order to maintain our current levels of service and high reliability," Zim said.
The move follows a $100 per-TEU GRI notice by United Arab Shipping, effective Jan. 15; a $200 per-TEU increase by Mediterranean Shipping, effective Jan. 23; and a $200 per-TEU increase by Hapag-Lloyd, effective Feb. 1, on the same trade lanes.

5 cups
apple - peeled, cored, and sliced
3/4 cup

1/2 teaspoon
For taste this is 5 stars!! I followed the recipe exactly. I used Ambrosia apples which are a little tart and hold their shape. It was perfect in this pie. We served it with maple walnut ice cream like suggested, and it was perfect! Yum! The only problem I had was the cooking time and temp. I always bake my pies at a higher temp. for the first 15 minutes, so I was a little hesitant to cook the pie the whole time at 325. But I did, and the pie never browned. The last 5-10 minutes I turned the heat up to 375 so I could brown the top a little bit. Other than that, a great recipe!

Not crazy about this hoodie, the quality seems inferior to other Volcom hoodies I have. I wish the zipper went up a little higher. It looks like it would be a lot more comfy than it really is but I do love the color and I am always loving a new lounge hoodie so I will be keeping it.

Weather Topic: What is Fog?

Next Topic: Fractus Clouds
Fog is technically a type of stratus cloud, which lies along the ground and obscures visibility.
It is usually created when humidity in the air condenses into tiny water droplets. Because of this, some places are more prone to foggy weather, such as regions close to a body of water.
Fog is similar to mist; both are the appearance of water droplets suspended in the air, but fog is the term applied to the condition when visibility is less than 1 km.

Weather Topic: What are Hole Punch Clouds?
Home - Education - Cloud Types - Hole Punch Clouds
Next Topic: Mammatus Clouds
A hole punch cloud is an unusual occurrence when a disk-shaped hole appears in a cirrostratus, cirrocumulus, or altocumulus cloud.
When part of the cloud forms ice crystals, water droplets in the surrounding area of the cloud evaporate. The effect of this process produces a large elliptical gap in the cloud. The hole punch cloud formation is rare, but it is not specific to any geographic area.
Other names which have been used to describe this phenomena include fallstreak hole, skypunch, and cloud hole.

Katadyn Water Makers ?

I've had two PUR (now Katadyn) watermakers, and my next one will be something else. They do require significant maintenance, and since Katydyne took over, the prices, especially for spares have increased significantly.
Example--the main bearing in the drive went out, and I asked Katadyn for a replacement. Their response was that I wasn't supposed to be able to take the drive apart, they didn't carry the new bearings, and I needed to buy a new drive for 2000 euro. It took quite a bit of internet surfing, but I eventually found the bearing for $20.
Example--the pump piston rod, which is a 4 inch piece of stainless about 3/8 inch in diameter--over $100.
