Re: Design snapshot: Small house, big windows
You're right -- Window size is so important, and so often overlooked, particularly when a home's original windows are swapped out for replacement units. The smaller pane sizes can really effect the appearance of the house, as well as the amount of light that enters the rooms.
If you're interested in how window choice makes or breaks a home, check out Lynn Hopkins' article, "Character-defining Windows." You can find it on this site by clicking on the Design tab and selecting "windows," or see it in print in ReDesign, a special FHB design issue that's on newsstands now.
Re: Design snapshot: From fishing shacks to home
As someone trying to create functional, family-friendly spaces within a box of a house (typical 1970s construction)I can appreciate what you say, Katie. Every house needs a variety of spaces that run the continuum from public to quasi-public to private--something too many houses don't provide. If only the folks who built my house resisted, as you say, "the all-too-common tendency to bundle everything in to something monolithic"!

Charlie Award In 2010, IBEW Local 965 began recognizing members and/or retirees for giving back to our communities through volunteering. We have established the "Charlie Award", which is named in recognition of the first recipient, Charlie Wilhelm. Charlie inspired the need to recognize members giving back to our communities through his involvement with Habitat for Humanity and other charitable activities. At the March 2014 Executive Board meeting, Christopher Esser was chosen as this year's recipient. Christopher is an Alliant retiree out of Cassville. Chris has been volunteering at Stonefield Historic Site in Cassville for the past 10 years. He helps with clean up of the grounds every spring and mows lawn all summer into the fall. The picture was taken at the Retiree Club meeting on May 12, 2014. We will award another recipient next year. If you know of someone that should be considered, feel free to submit an application or contact the Union office before the January 2015 Executive Board meeting. You are able to submit your own name for consideration. 2010 original recipient Gene

A couple of days back French Montana had spoken in an interview on what he thought was holding back 50 Cent's music career. And he let slip that it was highly unlikely that 50 Cent could touch 10 million sales on current form.
The interview, and apparently public nods to what French said, kind of irritated fif and he did what he had done at the time of the Gunplay fiasco. He took to twitter and let the world know about his point of view. The point is, that to most folks out there, his attitude only kind of reinforces the point French made…about picking up beefs.
50 Cent tweeted "French Montana you ain't Sh** boy. You out your league talking about me you hoe.i read your little interview what the f*** is you high," "French your Sh** so weak you never had a song by your self fool. Ain't nobody's waiting to hear your verse. Girl."
"Do you realize this fool @Frenchmontana hasn't sold one record and talking about sales," "I'm not tweeting about this little fool No more. I'm a see him and he gonna explain that's it."

Why Organic
Try to Look Pretty Without Poisoning Yourself!
Common ingredients in beauty products you should be aware of:
Parabens – especially ethyl,methyl,propyl, and butyl pareben – are widely used as preservatives in cosmetics, soaps, and many products marketed widely to spa audiences. A 2004 study, however, noted the presence of parabens in breast cancer tumors, and others indicate that they mimic the hormone estrogen. One troubling aspect of the 2004 study was the fact that the parabens had penetrated the skin and entered the body's tissues without being broken down in any way.
Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate
A common ingredient in soaps, moisturizing creams, and many other cosmetic products, SLS is also used as an industrial detergent and degreaser. It is actually a skin irritant that dries the skin and in extreme cases causing redness and itching. Also, while SLS itself has not been found to cause cancer, some studies have found frequent contamination of it during manufacturing by I,4 dioxane, which is a known carcinogen.
Hydroquinone is one of the most toxic cosmetic ingredients out there. A common skin lightener, hydroquinone has been linked to cancer, and has been banned in Europe and Asia. Today you may find it in prescription lighteners and in medically offered skin care lines – most do not know that in 2006 the FDA moved to ban the drug entirely, even though the effort was later shelved.
A known carcinogen, you aren't likely to find this one spelled out on the back of the bottle, but it shows up all the same quaternium-15, dimethyl-dimethyl(DMDM) hydantoin, imidazolidinyl urea, diazolidinyl urea, and bronopol are all chemical compounds that release formaldehyde. The EPA considers it a probable carcinogen, even in very low concentrations.
Pthalates are a family of chemicals with a wide range of uses – and a wide range of names. The most common is probably dibutyl phthalate. One study found over 70% of personal care products contained these in some form, but some studies have linked pthalates to hormonal eruptions including early puberty, birth defects, and even low sperm-counts. Pthalates are so ubiquitous that a study of more than 200 people by the United States Center for Disease Control found every one of them had pthalates in their body.
Massage and Healthcare
Massage therapists received more referrals from healthcare professionals in 2011.
In July 2011, more than 39 million American adults (15 percent) had discussed massage therapy with their doctors or health care providers.
Of those 15 percent, 31 percent of their health care providers strongly recommended massage therapy, compared to 35 percent in 2009. While physicians led the way in recommending massage (52% vs 50% in 2010), chiropractors (50% vs. 35% in 2010) and physical therapists (49% vs, 38% in 2010) also recommended massage therapy when their patients discussed it with them. The number of nurses recommending massage doubled in 2011, with 26% of nurses recommending massage in 2011 versus 13% in 2010.
Almost all massage therapists receive referrals from healthcare professionals. 96% of massage therapists received at least one referral every six months from a hospital or medical office in 2011. On average, massage therapists received about four referrals per month, twice as many as in previous years.
Massage therapists and consumers favor integration of massage into healthcare.
More than half of adult Americans (59 percent) would like to see their insurance cover massage therapy.
The vast majority of massage therapists (96 percent) believe massage therapy should be considered part of the health care field.
Massage therapy Research
The therapeutic benefits of massage continue to be researched and studied. Recent research has shown the effectiveness of massage for the following conditions:
- Cancer-related fatigue.
- Low back pain.
- Osteoarthritis of the knee.
- Reducing post-operative pain.
- Boosting the body's immune system functioning.
- Decreasing the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Lowering blood pressure.
- Reducing headache frequency.
- Easing alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
- Decreasing pain in cancer patients.

The ONS Quality Management Strategy was revised in May 2011. It sets out three goals that we will strive to achieve by March 2015. It supports the Code of Practice for Official Statistics and the ONS Vision, and through the implementation of the goals, aims to encourage a culture of continuous improvement and good quality management.
The Statistical Policy Committee owns the strategy, which has been fully endorsed by the Director General. The head of Methodology will support act as the ONS Quality Champion, and the ONS Quality Centre in Methodology Directorate will provide support and training to business areas.
Much of the information included in the strategy focuses on the quality of our statistical outputs, howerver most of the concepts can and should be applied to our generic day-to-day activities.
To view the three quality goals, and how we plan to achieve these please see the ONS Quality Management Strategy.

When my husband and I bought our house, there had been basically no maintenance done to our many flower beds. This one is by far the worse.... I would love feedback on the best way to fix it and make it beautiful again. As you can see in the picture, it has been completely overrun by grass. Can it be fixed without removing the soil completely and starting over? The bed is full of lilies if that makes any difference. Thank you! |

The dead foliage in the photo appears to be daylily (hemerocallis) and not true lilies. Is this correct? I think it would be a good idea to preserve this type of treatment but consider the following; select medium height daylilies like Stella D'oro or preferably Happy Returns (nicer colour, I think). Both are repeat bloomers but need to be dead-headed after the first bloom to keep them tidy looking for the remainder of the season. Dig out (but shake off the soil) all grass, weeds and existing daylilies and discard or save to a width of 2 feet (this width is the same as the height of the plants when in bloom, a good ratio to use for all beds). Use stone edging to separate the lawn from the bed. This will make it easy to cut with a mower and will help prevent the grass from creeping back into the bed. Mix plenty of organic material into the bed and then plant your daylilies about 18 inches to 2 feet apart. Water well and then mulch with bark. On the other side of the path I would again plant daylilies but not exclusively. Mix in peonies if there's enough sun or hostas if there's enough shade. Again, astilbes if there's enough sun or ferns if it's shady. Use the same procedure regarding preparing the bed and mulching. |

China's Surge in Renewable Energy (Released May 2011)
Global pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is part of the reason for China's turn to renewables. Officially, China has long denied responsibility, claiming, along with many developing countries, that since it "came late to the industrialization game, the core economies, with their significantly greater historical greenhouse gas contributions, must pay for a global transformation away from fossil fuels" (Economy). Even today, as the largest greenhouse gas emitter, China "adamantly refuses to commit to any binding, international carbon emissions reduction targets" (Ma), arguing that it is in many ways still a poor country, and not historically responsible for the climate crisis. There is some substance to this argument, as each Chinese is responsible for only 1/5 the emissions of the average American (Ma) (the U.S. currently has 313 million people while China has over 1.3 billion, according to the CIA World Fact Book). Yet China is now the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, and future projections are that the situation will only get worse. Despite clean energy efforts, China is expected to "nearly double its coal-fired power capacity from 350 gigawatts (GW) in 2006 to 950 GW in 2030 and . . . will account for 74 percent of the total increase in the world's coal-related carbon dioxide emissions during that period" (Ma). Clearly, such an increase would put tremendous stress on the world's ecosystems.
Despite its denials of responsibility, China did pledge, at the 2009 climate change conference in Copenhagen, to cut its carbon intensity by at least 40 percent by 2020 (Biello Coal; Ma). In addition, China acknowledges that it is suffering a multitude of climate change effects : "heat waves in the summer, worsening droughts in northern China, an increase in heavy precipitation in southern China, a growing occurrence of snow disasters in western China, and a 'conspicuous rise' in 'extreme climate phenomena'" (Ma). The pressure to do something is growing, as China's already stressed environment will suffer more. Even with China's surge in renewables and energy efficiency, because its economy continues to grow at such a rapid rate, its total emissions are almost certain to increase. Overall, China continues to put economic growth as its highest priority.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is King!
Facts about King
- Breed: German Shepherd Dog
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Male
King's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, and not good with dogs.
King's owners were victims of the April 27th Tuscaloosa tornado. They lost everything. While they and King survived, they did not feel equipped to provide for him so surrendered him to the local shelter. The shelter started filling up with dogs and cats displaced by the storm and called us to help out.
King is reported to be 15 months old. He weighs about 70 pounds and still has some filling out to do. KIng is great with people, including children and rides very well in a car. His foster parents crate him at night and he will let them know if he needs to go out to potty.
King probably had never been socialized with other dogs in his former home. We are working with him on this. At this time we believe he would do best in a home where he is the only dog. More will be posted about King as we learn about him in foster care.
If you would like to adopt King, please copy and paste this link into your browser to fill out our online application. http://members.petfinder.org/~AL80/application2.html
Other Pets at German Shepherd Rescue of Central Alabama
Why Adoption is a Great Option
King, a Pike Road German Shepherd Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a German Shepherd Dog for sale in Pike Road, or seeking a German Shepherd Dog dog from a breeder in Pike Road.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Pike Road already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Pike Road breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even German Shepherd Dog breeders who help with German Shepherd Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Pike Road paves the way for another one to be saved.

I love playing in the dirt. So my question is about tall plants and how to keep them upright.
I have very loose soil in my foundation bed that has been worked for about 15 years. It is so loose that the gladiolus fall right over even when they are just leaves. I'm wondering if I should add clay to the loose soil. Do you have any suggestions for me? I don't want to use a wood mulch in that area because it is right up against the house and I don't need termites. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Gladioli almost always need staking, whatever the soil is like. |
You might try setting the tall plants deeper into the ground and then hilling them. |
Sounds like you do need something to add to your soil to make it more friable, able to take in moisture and retain it. I cant see a bulb coming up and falling over simply because there's no compaction of the soil to any extent. Sunds more like you're trying to grow something in sand. For sand, add organic matter which is more generally suggested to be made up of compost to about 30 - 40%. Then add peat moss/sand/and maybe even some potting soil with perlite/vermiculite. No need to worry about termites in wood mulch...they will not take to living in this medium. Earwigs will though and, because its always damp there, set up housekeeping and a you provide a nice dinner menu with the plants. |
Sometimes my glads fall over growing in my sandy soil with about 8 percent organic matter mixed in, so staking is necessary. A soil with 30 to 40 percent organic matter is going to hold way too much water for plants to grow in, that would be a bog, fen, swamp as well as very difficult to attain. |

it's a 130r, corded electric. I posted recently about converting it to a single line instead of dual line trimmer. got a lot of good responses. many people prefer single line apparently. but I can't get MINE to work. is it because of the spool itself? I wonder if there is such a thing as an after market single line spool that will work on this dinosaur. anyone else have ancient yard tools that still work? well, sort of? the motor is fine. I bought a new spring, and a new bump head. but the old spool refuses to be used as single line. thanks for any tips!!............Bill |
Follow-Up Postings:
1. Did you double check the direction you added the line on the spool? 2. Did you test to see if the bumping was releasing by pulling the line (by hand) as you bump to see if a bump would release line? It might be time for some WD-40 here or there. |

thanks loger! for question 1: yes, amazingly, I did have it going the right way. I am not being sarcastic, but I had to get a small magnifier (with my glasses still on) and get right up under the bench light. but yes, it was the right way. number2: no, I could not get it to work manually either. when you say here or there, can I assume that everywhere would ok too? anything that looks like it may move? what about the single string idea? should I abandon that? it's supposed to be a dual line machine |
- Posted by bilmo 9 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, May 8, 13 at 20:29
hey loger, how's it going? I tried everything and nothing works. so I must be doing something wrong. so......maybe I'll take my chances on a new one. have no idea what to buy. any suggestions? thanks! Bill |

would something like this work with an old machine like a ryobi 130r? http://www.amazon.com/Tanaka-32308-Brainer-Straight-Trimmers |

Atmosphere was great...it ends there. Service was not good, me and a friend ordered cheese fries to go along with a few brews and the waitress forgot to put the order in! There wasnt a lot of people in there either so i dont know how she forgot. Fries werent that great either when we did FINALLY get them.
Posted by Eve on 03/06/2009
I order the churrasco that there menu had as skirt steak meat and they gave me a ground beefsteak. When I spoke with the manager he got insulted. Its obvious his never tried skirt steak before. He said he was not going to charge for the meal but still charge for the bake potato that came with the meal. If you want subpar steak go there, if not go somewhere else.
Posted by Lea Gonzalez on 02/02/2009
Great place to relax after work as the food and service is good. A sports bar/restaurant type setting, so it can appeal to various groups from guys just hanging out to famalies having dinner.

rivercity Posts: 2Looks like this has been here a while without much (serious) response. I paid invoice from my 2004 Freestar, SEL. I bought it from a dealer I had bought from several times before so I don't mess around with negotiating. I told them right up front all I would pay was invoice like I had paid for my other cars. I let them respond. I had a trade so I negotiated on it because I didn't want the hassle of selling it myself and I was upside down on it. I didn't like it and want to get rid of it. I knew the book value so I knew what they would offer. They didn't have a van on the lot equipped like I wanted so they got one from another dealer.
I hate the car buying ordeal. I bought a Toyota for my daughter through the web (dealer). Much easier and less stressful.

We've grown accustomed to features taking a long time to make the leap from iOS to Android, but some are more aggravating than others. Back in 2011, SoundHound introduced the ability for iOS users to access their music search and discovery libraries across multiple devices, but nearly two years later, that feature had yet to make it over to Android. That changed today. Now Android fans also have the ability to restore music libraries when installing SoundHound onto a new phone or tablet.
Those on contract with the Now Network who've had their eye on HTC's latest flagship, the One, should listen up – Newegg is offering pre-orders for the One in both its Stealth Black and Glacial White color variants for $129.99 with next-day shipping.
Of course, Sprint is offering pre-orders of the device to new customers for just $99.99, but the deal excludes upgrades. In case you've forgotten what makes the HTC One worth looking at, here's a quick look at its specs.
Last month, we saw Motorola's Droid Razr Maxx HD offered up for $99.99 on Amazon for new accounts only. If you're already a Verizon subscriber who's looking to instead upgrade to the Maxx HD, you're in luck – it looks like Amazon has extended the offer to upgrade customers as well. For reference, Amazon's price puts the phone a full $200 below Verizon's own price.
Just in case you've forgotten, the Droid Razr Maxx HD packs a 4.7" 720x1280 display (that's 312ppi), 8MP camera, dual-core 1.5GHz processor, and 1GB RAM.
If David convinced you last week with his testimony concerning his phablet conversion, you're looking to jump on the plus-sized bandwagon, and you're looking to get on Sprint, then today might be a good day to pull the metaphorical trigger. As of right now, Amazon Wireless is selling the Galaxy Note II for $149. Normally the carrier charges twice that much, though we've seen it for cheaper before.
Unfortunately, the phones are both backordered, so shipping will take 1-2 weeks.
If you happen to be in the market for a new phone on Sprint in the near future, you might want to hold off for a couple days. TechnoBuffalo reports that the Now Network is getting ready to launch a promotion on August 12th—and continuing until September 30th—that will offer customers a free ZTE Optik tablet when they purchase any new smartphone. Yes, any new smartphone. Including the free Galaxy Nexus for new users ($99 for upgrading customers).
Good news for folks who aren't on Sprint, but want to be! (Those exist right?) If you've been eyeballing the Evo LTE as your next phone, you couldn't get it any cheaper than you can now. Amazon Wireless is currently offering the device for $129.99 with a new two-year contract.
While it sucks a bit for current Sprint customers, upgraders can still get the device for the previously-established $149 price point, saving a bit of money over Sprint's own offerings.
It's never a bad day for a deal. Unless you're already on Verizon, I suppose. If you're not already part of Big Red's teeming masses, you can hop aboard the nation's largest carrier and grab a snazzy new Galaxy Nexus for your trouble from Amazon Wireless for just a penny. If you're already on Verizon and you're just looking to upgrade, the latest pure Google is available to you for $149.
We've been waiting eagerly for Sprint to get on board the LTE train and now that it's finally happening with the Now Network's version of the Galaxy Nexus, Wirefly is stepping in to make the deal even more attractive: the Galaxy Nexus is available today for $150 with a new account. That's half the price of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus and $50 off the phone directly from Sprint.
If you're looking to get in on Sprint's "truly unlimited" LTE data plans, but still want to save some cash on the device, Wirefly is also selling the LG Viper for $20, or $80 off Sprint's official price.
If you aren't already chained to a smartphone contract perhaps this is a good time to get your feet wet and buy the HTC EVO Shift 4G slider from RadioShack for the low price of $69.99. You will of course also have to sign up for a two-year contract with Sprint.
The slider phone has been available from Sprint for $150 since its launch, with occasional discounts popping up, however this deal from RadioShack appears to be the lowest yet.
HTC EVO Shift 4G is not even a month old, but this $150 (on-contract MSRP) mini-EVO slider was already discounted by Amazon Wireless to $119.99 at launch and today dropped another $30 to $89.99. Since Amazon doesn't charge tax in most states and offers free 2-day shipping, I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that you will not find a better deal anywhere else on the web. Unfortunately, only new accounts willing to sign a 2-year contract qualify for the promotion - those upgrading will need to shell out the full $150.

Nilo Cruz
If life, as his play declares, is made of ''little moments I could save in a jar,'' then Cruz's jar is overflowing. In April, Anna in the Tropics came out of nowhere -- a.k.a. Coral Gables, Fla. -- to snag the Pulitzer (it's nearly unheard of for a play to win without a New York production). A flurry of regional openings followed, capped off by Anna's November arrival on Broadway, starring Jimmy Smits. ''My life has changed,'' says the Cuban-born, Miami-bred Cruz. ''I don't have much time to write!'' His lusciously poetic tale has sparked comparisons to Chekhov and Tennessee Williams. (For the record, he ''adores'' them.) In January, his Beauty of the Father will debut in Coral Gables, and he's penning a play about a Caribbean hurricane. With 12 plays under his belt, Cruz, 43, is the hot new playwright. ''I feel as if I just started.''
A videogame without a joystick is like...Frodo without hairy feet. But that is precisely what makes EyeToy: Play such an innovation. The TV-top camera connects to the PlayStation 2 and puts players' body motions onto the screen -- and right into the game. The $49.99 gadget is selling fast, but gives just a glimpse of the technology's potential for future Minority Report-esque hands-free interfacing. Up next, EyeToy: Groove will score your moves. It'll be like karaoke for dancing.
Takashi Murakami
Sure, his acclaimed high-art-meets-anime installations have caused a stir from Tokyo to Rockefeller Center, but when that paragon of culture Jessica Simpson refused to leave her Louis Vuitton Murakami purse home while she went camping, his whimsical, this-side-of-tacky design officially became the must-have handbag of 2003.
Friendliest man of the year: Jonathan Abrams.
His Friendster.com links more than 3 million members in a virtual six degrees of separation and has inspired tons of parodies and wannabes. So his project's scored -- but has he? ''I've gone on a bunch of dates, but it's been hard to focus.''
The CIA double-crosses a Special Forces unit that then vows to stick it to the Man. Sound familiar? ''I never watched The A-Team,'' insists 32-year-old Brit Diggle, author of Vertigo Comics' feverishly paced series The Losers. Instead, its roots can be found in heist flicks like Three Kings and Heat -- and producers are already itching to adapt it. But recalling this year's big comics convention in San Diego, it's clear Diggle is struck by a different kind of star: ''Sitting around, looking at the [legends] -- Eddie Campbell, Dave McKean, Frank Miller...whoa.'' Judging by Losers' crescendoing buzz, this rookie writer may soon join his heroes' ranks.

Even the most diligent readers of the business press can be forgiven for not understanding what a collateralized debt obligation is, how it differs from a mortgage-backed security, or how both were directly responsible for inflating the housing bubble and for causing tens of billions of dollars of losses on Wall Street. Following the money on this story isn't simple when the "money" ends up as a credit derivative.
We are much smarter now thanks to an excellent page-one piece (link for non-subscribers) in The Wall Street Journal on December 27 headlined "Wall Street Wizardry Amplified Credit Crisis." Reporters Carrick Mollenkamp and Serena Ng dive into how Merrill Lynch created a so-called mezzanine CDO (made up of middle-rated bonds) named "Norma," recruited a Long Island penny-stock impresario to run it, and in its small way helped to undermine the global financial system. It's one of the best explanatory pieces yet on how these financial instruments that were supposed to spread risk concentrated it instead.
So, sit back in that lounger, fill up your pipe, and let the Journal (with a little help from The Audit) explain what has the business press acting like it's under attack with its deflector shields down.
We'll start with the basics: there are mortgages. Millions of them. Banks don't hold them any more—never mind why—instead they have Wall Street firms like Merrill Lynch put thousands of them together in a single vehicle and sell the rights to the principal and interest as bonds known as mortgage-backed securities. The advantages to this system are many, including the fact that the payment streams can be manipulated, in a good way, so that investors (e.g. Fidelity) can arrange to be paid first—if some borrowers default—from the money coming from borrowers in the pool who are still paying. The price for being first in line is accepting a lower interest rate. These securities are the ones rated AAA.
And CDOs? A CDO is another Wall Street-created vehicle that buys bonds or derivatives of bonds, manipulating the cashflows on those, so investors, again, can choose the risk. The difference, as the Journal explains, is that a CDO can buy a whole pool of risky securities, like those rated BBB- (not junk, but not great), for instance, and rearrange the payments so that a large percentage of the pool, 75 percent even, is rated AAA, as safe as a government savings bond.
As the Journal says:
But Norma and similar CDOs added potentially fatal new twists to the model. Rather than diversifying their investments, they bet heavily on securities that had one thing in common: They were among the most vulnerable to a rise in defaults on so-called subprime mortgage loans, typically made to borrowers with poor or patchy credit histories. While this boosted returns, it also increased the chances that losses would hit investors severely.
Why would anyone buy it? To get a higher rate for a bond with the same safety rating as corporate or Treasury bonds. Why would rating agencies (e.g. Standard & Poor's, Moody's) rate them so highly? Well, not to be too cynical, but the companies seeking the ratings pay the bills. We have a feeling that story has yet to be fully told, but here are a couple of good pieces from August.
But even casual readers can now see how Wall Street would have incentive to package and repackage securities backed by the same crappy mortgages that boiler-room operations like Ameriquest foisted on deceived and financially vulnerable borrowers.
While that's bad enough, the Journal explains how the CDO shuffle got even more esoteric and dangerous.
Also, these CDOs invested in more than simply subprime-backed securities. The CDOs held chunks of each other, as well as derivative contracts that allowed them to bet on mortgage-backed bonds they didn't own. This magnified risk. Wall Street banks took big pieces of Norma and similar CDOs on their own balance sheets, concentrating the losses rather than spreading them among far-flung investors."It is a tangled hairball of risk," Janet Tavakoli, a Chicago consultant who specializes in CDOs, says of Norma. "In March of 2007, any savvy investor would have thrown this…in the trash bin."
Tangled hairball. House of cards. Call it what you will, it was spit out or stacked up by the shamans on Wall Street, who used this financial voodoo to earn huge fees from underwriting these securities.
That's how the $1.5 billion Norma CDO came about.
A key to the Journal story's success is that it scored an interview with Corey Ribotsky, the Long Island-based penny-stock broker, whom Merrill set up as a "CDO manager" to recruit investors and administer Norma. Ribotsky hooked up with Merrill at a Long Island club after meeting a criminal defense lawyer who introduced him to a Merrill bond salesman.

Saoirse Ronan and Kevin Macdonald to Show Us 'How I Live Now'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on December 14, 2011 | Comments (12)Saoirse Ronan has been through a big couple of years, despite being such a young actress, the highlights of which have probably been her breakout performance in the period (time, not menstrual) thriller Atonement, and her starring role in Joe Wright's slick assassin movie Hanna. Despite such lofty accomplishments, it's starting to look like 2012 is going to be her biggest year yet. She's currently filming a Neil Jordan movie called Byzantium, she co-stars in recent festival assassin flick called Violet & Daisy, and she's also set to star in an adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's non-Twilight young adult novel The Host. Sounds like the girl has a busy schedule, but somehow she's managed to squeeze another project in. Variety is reporting that the budding young starlet has now signed to head the next film by Kevin Macdonald (the guy who made The Last King of Scotland, not the Kids in the Hall guy, that's Kevin McDonald), How I Live Now. This one is also an adaptation of a novel about young people, but decidedly less creature filled and much more war torn than Meyer's book. "How I Live Now" was written by Meg Rosoff, and Amazon describes its plot as such:
Neil Miller
Scott Beggs
Rob Hunter

Reviving a Victorian Home
A San Francisco home known for its appearances on the sitcom "Full House" becomes a child-friendly haven of high art and chic antiques
By Jaime Gross
The place serves as a perfect reflection of her quirky, family-friendly, artcentric aesthetic, which dictates comfort first and foremost, and no off-limits areas. However, Hadens idea of child-appropriate decor is a bit unconventional. Nine-year-old daughter Bankes stows her clothes in an 18th-century English bureau inlaid with wood-parquet shells, while five-year-old son Bennett sleeps in a circa-1820 French bed with a sleepover trundle underneath. In the double parlor a set of 18th-century gilded curtain tiebacks is displayed on the cocktail table; nearby is a miniature 6th-century Roman marble bust Bennett likes to carry around the house. I should probably put these things on a mantel, Haden observes. But I figure theyve made it this far. If they get chipped, they get chipped.
She traces this laid-back approach to a stint working at Christies auction house. Passion about objects and furnishings makes for fearless decoratorsand if you are comfortable in your home, everyone else will be too, Haden says. That sense of authenticity is what gives a home its soul.
In Hadens case, authenticity means thousands of volumes on art and design and furnishings ranging from early-20th-century Chinese tables to antique Dutch chairs to stuffed pheasants encased in Victorian shadow boxes. Contemporary art adds an edgy touch, including works by Kara Walker, Natasha Law, Tracey Emin, and Donald Judd.
But its not only rarefied pieces that inspire Haden. One of her favorite finds is a pair of mounted marble circular sculptures showcased on a living room table. Everyone thinks theyre by British artist Barbara Hepworth, she says, and then lowers her voice to a mock whisper: Theyre actually from Anthropologie and cost $75 each! Thats proof you can go anywhere and discover something good.

SAN DIEGO, October 2, 2012 – It only took one hour this week to announce which of the All-Stars was going home in week 2 of Dancing With the Stars. Producers, your fans thank you for not dragging it out.
For the first time, three former Mirror Ball Trophy champions found themselves in the bottom three, in danger of going home. The performers identified as being "in jeopardy" were Kelly Monaco and Val Chmerkovskiy, Helio Castroneves and Chelsie Hightower, and Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson.
Only Kelly and Val were among the lowest three in the voting totals. Kirstie Alley and Maks Chmerkovskiy and Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas received lower scores. But it is a fifty-fifty split between the judges' scores and fan votes, and the fans voted in large enough numers to save Bristol and Mark and Kirstie and Maks.
Joey and Kym were in a three-way tie at 22.5 points. Helio and Chelsie scored 23.0 points. This made them both much more vulnerable, because their higher scores did not save them from poor fan voting.
In the end, the right couple went home: Joey Fatone and Kym Johnson. Their quickstep routine was entertaining but not very technically proficient. Fatone said he'd had a great time on the show and went out with a smile on his face and a good attitude. He posted to Twitter right after the show: "thanks for all your love n support and votes but my ass got kicked off DWTS tonight lol . It is what it is. Had a great time!" He said he'll be rooting for Drew Lachey and Sabrina Bryan in the finals.
Fans commenting on Twitter and the fan blogsites aren't at all happy about Joey and Kym going home, but since they control half the results they have no one but themselves to blame when the competitors with the lower scores aren't the ones going home.
Next week, two couples will go home in a double elimination. The couples will reinterpret an "iconic dance" from seasons past with new choreography. Judge Len Goodman announced the celebrities will be the creative directors, choosing the costumes, music, and direction of the choreography. We have seen this go horribly wrong before.
Routines you can expect to see coming back (and I'm taking bets): Drew and Cheryl's "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" routine from the Season 2 finals; Derek's futuristic Paso Doble originally with Joanna Krupa from Season 9; and the Argentine tango by Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke from Season 12.
Week 3 of "Dancing With The Stars: All-Stars" airs on Monday night, October 8, at 8 p.m. Eastern on ABC.

Eamonn Kilbride, British Dad, Dies After Dancing 'Gangnam Style'
There are some few things that middle-aged guys should undoubtedly avoid: buying a flashy sports car, dating a barely-legal hottie, catching the allure of hair-in-a-can.
This week, after the death of a British dad, experts now warn that dancing "Gangnam Type" may be yet another middle age no-no.
As the Sunlight notes, 46-year-old Eamonn Kilbride was carrying out the energetic dancing– made wildly well-known by pop celebrity Psy– at his office X-mas celebration over the weekend when he suddenly broke down and died.
It is thought that the dad of 3 died from a heart attack.
"We were having a fantastic time at the Christmas party and Eamonn had just finished dancing to Gangnam Style. He was up on stage and entertaining everybody. He said he had a bit of a pain and just collapsed," his wife, Julie, said, according to the Telegraph.
In the wake of Kilbride's death, Professor Bernard Keavney, a consultant cardiologist at Newcastle University, has warned men to be "measured at Christmas parties and…[to not] stray outside your comfort zone."
"The chance that you'll come to grief is very small. But as with any form of untypical exercise…be somewhat measured. Let the lady dance around you," he told the Telegraph. "I certainly wouldn't say that people need to avoid Gangnam Style over the holidays. [But] if you're unused to taking vigorous physical exercise, you shouldn't throw yourself into violent exertion without due preparation."
This isn't the first time that a man has died from dancing. According to a 2007 Associated Press report, 48-year-old Robert Stitt died during a dance-off in a parking lot.
Over the last few months, a great number of public figures, includingU.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, boxer Manny Pacquiao and Google Chairman Eric Schmidt, have all jumped on the "Gangnam Style" bandwagon. The viral pop sensation, which has racked up more than 900 million views on YouTube, took the world by storm after its release earlier this year.
While the trigger of Kilbride's death may be considered bizarre by some, cardiovascular disease is not a light-hearted matter. According to 2009 statistics on the website of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Moreover, in 2010, more than 27 million"uninstitutionalized adults" had reportedly been diagnosed with heart disease.

If people ever ask you about the biggest difference between this hardware generation and the last, don't think about Achievements or horse armor. Think about this: for the last few years, the Xbox 360 has let ordinary people create their own videogames and sell them on a console.
Okay, so a lot of these games are not very good. Surfing through the Xbox Live Indie Games menus you're going to find broken shooters, bone-headed platformers and creepy study guides filling you in on how to talk to girls.
You're also going to see design at its most creative, however, as coders with no marketing departments to answer to offer up unlikely collisions of old genres, and ink-splattered sketches of genres that are yet to come.
Because it's worryingly easy to find nothing of interest, we've selected 50 of the best Indie Games currently available. These are the titles you shouldn't miss out on if you want to see the fruits of Microsoft's great experiment at their bizarre, unpredictable, and brilliant best.
50. Retrofit: Overload
Developer: Wam! Games
Price: 80MP (70p)
Most of the really old-school vertical shooters on the Indie Games platform tend to take Space Invaders as their point of origin. Retrofit: Overload opts for Galaga instead, and you can feel the developers' love for the game emerging as the colourful swooping waves progress. Murderously hard in its later stages, this is homage design at its most engaging.
49. Twin Blades
Developer: Press Start Studio
Price: 400MP (£3.40)
Hack away at the undead or shoot them into millions of tiny pieces in this beautiful anime-styled action game that ensures the medieval enemies keep pouring in and the thick red blood keeps pouring out. Baddies are little more than points-fodder for you to chew through, but the chewing's good and the upgrades just keep coming.
48. Radiangames Crossfire
Developer: Radiangames
Price: 80MP (70p)
The prolific Indie Games dev puts its spin on Space Invaders with this hectic action game that sees you flipping your turret from the top of the screen to the bottom as you take on waves of baddies. Power-ups and new enemies keep you interested in the short term, while the long game belongs to the high-score table.
47. Groov
Developer: Funkmasonry Industries
Price: 80MP (70p)
Groov combines twin-stick shooting with ambient music to surprisingly non-boring effect, allowing you to sculpt a plinky-plonk score by sniping away at an array of abstract baddies. Sterile and rather melancholy, it's a lot more refined and considered than the noisy chaos of most Indie Game blasters.
46. Radiangames Inferno
Developer: Radiangames
Price: 80MP (70p)
Clean lines, smooth beats, and twitch controls dominate in this astonishingly polished four-player blaster. Upgrade your drones, discover secret rooms, and spend absolutely ages titting about with locks and keys as you fight your way to the exit. It's something of a looker, too.

Reviewed Plain Pound Cake
May 27, 2012 in Food Network Community Toolbox on FoodNetwork.com
"Tried this recipe, and the cake came out delicious, I used an 8 inch round pan and baked it at 360F for one hour. I reduced the sugar to 1 1/3 based on the reviews. I usually cut the sugar for all the cake recipes, the amount of sugar is always just too much. I also added a teaspoon of nutmeg to the flour. Its a plain recipe that you can tweak to ""

I used to be the sort of person who was always looking for the next big thing. In high school, I wanted to be in college. In college, I wanted to have a job. Every job I had, I wanted to be more successful.
I didn't learn about stillness, about just being, until I had to. And I don't think it's coincidental that the more I just be and the more gratitude I have for my life, the happier I am.
My bouts of depression have always had a chicken-and-the-egg quality to them. Was I on a downward spiral of depression throughout my mid-20s? Or was it from my stressful and demanding job and how hard I was on myself about not being the most amazing person ever? Did I feel depressed because I studied abroad in Eastern Europe away from my family and my friends? Or was I depressed already and that trip just exacerbated it?
I don't think there are necessarily answers other than "both." Just the way my mom is inclined to bruise easily if she knocks her leg on a coffee table, I'm inclined to get depressed easily. I wouldn't have chosen to be this way if I had the choice. But since this is what the lottery stuck me with, I've learned how to cope with it. Keep reading »

Today I read an excellent post on a project about where babies come from. Sounds sort of boring, right? Well, watch this video. I was laughing, I was tearing up, I was ready to give a dollar (after asking my wife's permission). So I clicked on over to the Kickstarter page and saw they had already blown their original goal out of the water. Anyway, I can't wait till this comes out, and the video is worth watching. Happy Tuesday!
3 Responses to What you need to make a baby: Beer?
This is a) hilarious, and b) fantastic. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!!
That is hilarious
