Now that the campaigns and the election are history, we can turn to the effect that new legislation will have on our economy. I will assume that readers are familiar with the headline number reported by the government for unemployment. Not included in this number are people who are working part-time but would prefer full-time work as well as those who have become too discouraged to look for work. Those two segments are included in the U-6 rate.
Numerous companies, including Papa John's Pizza (NASDAQ:PZZA) and Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI) have announced that they will cut workers' hours to avoid the health insurance mandate of Obamacare. I was unable to find estimates of the prevalence of this phenomenon, but it is real. This reduction in workers' hours will not reduce the amount of work that needs to be completed. I believe that this will lead to the hiring of additional part-time workers. These part-time workers will leave the rolls of the unemployed, reducing the headline unemployment rate-- but likely increasing the U-6 number.
The real potential downside of all of these machinations is that I believe household income is likely to continue its downward trajectory. This could be most unfortunate for the economy as families will have less disposable income. Certainly a trend worth watching.

By James Slater: A potentially exciting title clash will take place in El Paso, Texas on September the 14th, as Mexican warrior Jhonny Gonzalez will defend his World Boxing Coincil (WBC) 126-pound title against Tanzanian tough guy Rogers Mtagwa. The fight will be promoted by Goossen Tutor. 29-year-old Gonzalez (who saw his first name misspelt on a fight poster early on in his career and decided to keep it as it was ever since), will be making the second defence of his crown. A former WBO super-bantamweight champ as well as a former WBC 122-pound title challenger, Gonzalez seems to have been around forever. A pro since 1999 (he lost his first two pro outings), Jhonny has picked up a ton of experience. Over the years, Gonzalez has given us some great action fights - against the likes of Israel Vazquez (L TKO10), Fernando Montiel (WS12) and Gerry Penalosa (L TKO7). After a fairly quick TKO loss to Japans excellent Toshiaka Nishioka in a failed WBC super-bantam challenge (TKO by3), Gonzalez moved up to featherweight and he has not lost since. Enjoying a new lease of life, the man from Mexico City captured the WBC belt with a 4th-round TKO win over another Japanese fighter, in Hozumi Hasegawa, in Japan, back in April. Since then Gonzalez has retained once (a 4th-round stoppage of Tomas Villa) and now he is no doubt looking forward to a rumble with Mtagwa - the fighter who gave then WBO super-bantam champ Juanma Lopez such a fierce war in October of 2009. Since that surprisingly competitive fight (one that Mtagwa came close to winning), the 32-year-old with the ordinary-looking, but deceiving 27-14-2(19) record has been blown away by Yuriorkis Gamboa inside a couple of rounds (in a WBA featherweight title challenge) and he has won a tune-up type affair against the 26-12 Pedro Navarrete - an 8th-round TKO win earlier this month. How much does Mtagwa have left to offer today? The Gamboa blow-out aside, Mtagwa has shown a pretty good chin. Orlando Salido stopped him in the 5th back in 2006 and before that Rogers was halted by Valdemir Pereira (8th-round TKO back in 2004). Aside from those three losses, Mtagwa has picked up some close, debatable points defeats, a number of them coming in his early days. If he has another great fight left in him similar to the kind he gave Lopez, Gonzalez could be in for a rough night. But that Gamboa loss did make Mtagwa look like a faded, perhaps even finished fighter. How will his punch resistance hold up against the 49-7(43) Gonzalez? Will Mtagwa be able to cope with the champions vicious body work? Mtagwa can punch some himself of course, and in the Lopez fight (really his finest hour, despite losing) he kept coming and coming. But that incredible effort took a lot out of him; the question is did it take everything out of him? Mtagwa knows this is his last big chance and he will try and make the most of it. Gonzalez is in no mood to give up his belt as he seeks greater paydays. We may well get a good idea of how this one will go as soon as Gonzalez tags his challenger with a good shot. If Mtagwas chin holds up, the war will be on! I go for Gonzalez to win an exciting fire-fight via a middle-rounds stoppage.

About This Project
Wanted to build nightstands for our bedroom after tackling the farmhouse table plans. Followed the plans for the farmhouse bedside table. The build went really well. These were the first drawers I have made and they work great. I first tried to stain them using the vinegar and steel wool method which worked great on my trial piece. Then when applied to the nightstands...nothing. We ended up using Minwax grey. I was a scary color to start with but couldn't be happier with the results. People are loving the different color and still being able to see the grain.
From Plan:
Required Skill Level:
Estimated Time Investment:
Weekend Project (10-20 Hours)
Finish Used:
Minwax grey stain. I put the stain on pretty heavy and let it soak in a good 20 min. before wiping. I wanted more grey than the pine color showing through. I then applied 3 coats of Minwax satin poly.
Estimated Cost:
roughly 75 dollars for the two nightstands

If you listen long enough to his show, you also will see glimpses into the lives of people just short of desperate. Ramsey will actually help those folks, too.
Melinda in Los Angeles recently called to ask if it was OK to not pay some medical bills. Cash was tight.
Ramsey quickly learned that rent took all but $50 of her husband's monthly disability check. Melinda had been unemployed for years, and was struggling to retrain after failing to find any job for her old wage of about $15 an hour.
Worse, they owed a friend $11,800 on a car worth at most $8,000, paying it off at a rate of $100 a month. What was keeping them alive was the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which Melinda called by its old name: food stamps.
So what would Ramsey's critics suggest he say to someone like Melinda?
It would obviously have done her no good to hear from Ramsey that productivity improvements and outsourcing have all but eliminated jobs like she used to have, or how the job market has been particularly cold for older workers.
It would not have helped to hear Ramsey mention the 11.3 million Americans now looking for work or complain about the obvious unfairness of a compensation system capable of producing an average perks package — just perks — worth $321,000 for the 100 highest-paid CEOs.
What Ramsey did say was dump the medical bills. Nothing gets spent if it's not on shelter, food, lights, water or transportation, and by the way that car should be swapped for a cheaper one.
Ramsey didn't blame her for any of this. Moreover, amid his more-or-less common-sense advice was an implicit message that her finances could be turned around.
At that moment, hope may have been what she needed the most.

Heidelberg Recaps U.S. Launch of Speedmaster CX 102 at Open House
November 19, 2010The CX 102 received the full Hollywood treatment, complete with red carpet, theatrical lighting, roving photographers, and a dramatic first glimpse of the new press—a six-color, coater-equipped model—in action. In his introductory remarks, Heidelberg USA President James Dunn revealed that research and development on the new press had begun as far back as 2004, driven by Heidelberg's ongoing quest to improve yield, reduce wastage, and provide printers with an option for every production scenario.
"Print shops today face new market challenges that demand innovative solutions and a forward-thinking business strategy," Dunn said. "Shorter runs, combined with increasing cost and time pressures, are making it tougher than ever for printers to achieve the margins they need while providing the top-quality printed products their customers want. The Speedmaster CX 102 is specifically designed to deliver the ease-of-use, shorter makereadies, consistently high production speeds, and superior print results customers demand—even in a difficult economy."
Innovation Inspired by Innovation
Positioned between the Speedmaster XL 105 and the CD 102 and targeted to high-end commercial, label and packaging printers, the Speedmaster CX 102 represents a new market segment in the 40" format. It makes key components of the Speedmaster XL platform available in the popular and well-established CD 102 format for the first time.
"By raising pressroom performance to the next level of quality and makeready automation," said Clarence Penge, VP Sheetfed Product Management, "the CX 102 offers an attractive alternative for many commercial and packaging printers who need greater capacity but who do not have the job volume needed to justify full use of the Speedmaster XL 105."
Features and Performance
While the CD 102—with more than 100,000 units installed worldwide—remains the world's most successful press in the 40" format, the CX 102 represents a transfer of key components of the XL 105 technology to the most successful platform ever built: the Speedmaster 102. In a word, the Speedmaster CX 102 advances the 40" category with end-to-end performance gains in feeding and delivery, sheet travel, drying, color management, and press control.
Highlights include Heidelberg's InterTech Technology Award-winning Prinect Inpress Control, an inline spectrophotometric color measuring system, Prinect Inspection Control, an inline sheet inspection system, and Prinect Press Center control console with Intellistart, an operator guidance system and integrated Wallscreen.
"Think of Intellistart as the GPS system for your press operator, with turn-by-turn, process-oriented instructions that are carried out automatically," Penge said. "The press is truly part of a Computer Integrated Manufacturing process with features like our Pressroom Manager and Analyze Point, which feeds real-time data back upstream for production times and cost. In fact, with our new Prinect Mobile application running on a smart phone, users can tap into the current press from any location. The Speedmaster CX also offers a true production speed of 16,500-sph, a full 10 percent higher than the 15,000-sph top speed of the Speedmaster CD 102."
"Rolling the high-performance features of the XL platform into the Speedmaster CX 102 was a shrewd competitive move by Heidelberg in the current 40" market," said James Rutt, president of Keystone Paper and Box Co., Inc., thriving, full-service folding carton producer in South Windsor, CT. "We were especially struck by the makeready advantages and by the advances in the Preset Plus feeder and delivery, as well as by the ability of the Inpress color control mechanism to reduce makeready and running waste. There's no way to describe the multi-function control console with Wallscreen showing color information and press speeds as other than an amazing tool."
Also available as an option on the Speedmaster CX 102 is the new generation of the Prinect Image Control color management and control system, offering higher resolution for spectral measurement and greater user-friendliness, thanks to the addition of a vacuum table, LED lighting, and a 19", wizard-guided touchscreen. The new edition of Prinect Image Control will begin shipping in early 2011.
Other highlights of the new CX 102 include the precision Preset Plus Feeder and Preset Plus Delivery, semi-automated (upgradeable to fully automated) plate changing, and Heidelberg Star peripherals for drying, powdering, foiling, and other key press functions. Side frames, gears, bearings, and grippers are robustly manufactured to stand up to heavy demand at the highest running speeds.
Speedmaster CX 102 offers the capacity to produce up to 55 million impressions per year at a price point that is very attractive in a difficult economy. It can be expected to yield a 25-50 percent hike in productivity—based on job distribution mix and configuration—over a 2003 model CD 102 with first-generation Preset Plus technology.
Unmatched Service and Support
Like every new press in the Speedmaster family, the Speedmaster CX 102 comes to market well supported by the industry's finest programs for service, consumable supplies, and replacement parts.
Systemservice 36 plus, a 36-month service package included in the purchase price of the press, provides complete coverage of all repairs and a menu of tech support options that assure productivity and performance. Inks, coatings, plates, and chemistry bearing Heidelberg's Saphira brand are optimized for use with the Speedmaster CX 102, further underpinning print quality. And when parts are needed, no source can surpass the manufacturer that made the press. Original Heidelberg Service Parts are fully warranted, available for ordering 24/7/365, competitively priced, and superior in compatibility and reliable functioning.
Worldwide, Heidelberg has sold 40 CX presses since Ipex 2010. The first U.S. installation of an 8-color model with coater is scheduled for installation shortly.

Teen Pregnancy Rates Down In Arkansas, Still 4th In Nation
While Arkansas has the 4th highest teen birth rate in the United States, it has made significant improvements in the last couple of decades. Still, the head of the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy says more can be done.
Sarah Brown, CEO of the private, independent non-profit group was in Little Rock Wednesday where she spoke at the Clinton School of Public Service. She also spoke to the Human Services Subcommittee of the Arkansas House and Senate.
In an interview with KUAR, she praised efforts in Arkansas that have lowered the percentage.
"The rate has gone down 43 percent in the teen birth rate since 1991. The national had done better as a whole, it's down 52 percent, but let's look at this as the cup as half-full," Brown said. "This is a problem that can be worked on successfully and Arkansas has over a number of years had a number of initiatives, so we want to keep the effort going because we're not where we need to be."
You can hear the full interview with Brown above.

Saxophonist Noel Jewkes and pianist Larry Vuckovich come together with bassist Doug Miller and drummer Chuck McPherson to perform rare standards, originals, plus the music of the tenor giants: Coleman Hawkins, Lester young, Don Byas, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Stitt, Paul Gonsalves, Hank Mobley and John Coltrane. This is a seldom heard program by the legendary West Coast tenor saxophonist presenting this unique repertoire.
Noel Jewkes is one of the premier saxophone players in Northern California. He has worked in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 35 years, and has earned a distinguished reputation with lovers of jazz music. Jewkes has that special ability to authentically interpret the sound, feeling and a style of the tenor greats. Listening to the majestic phrasing and harmonic adventurousness of Noel Jewkes is almost like hearing the entire history of modern jazz in a single evening. No wonder he is revered by musicians, critics, and music lovers alike as the premier Saxist-by-the-Bay.
Pianist Larry Vuckovich has won acclaim from critics and jazz audiences for his deeply imaginative style and repertoire heard at prestigious North American and European jazz clubs, concert halls and festivals. He is equally at home in world music/classically influenced modal jazz as he is with hard-swinging bebop, post-bop, contemporary jazz, and down-home blues. The New York Times notes that his unique outlook and collection of influences "set him apart from most pianists who are heard regularly in New York".
Doug Miller has toured and performed with James Moody, Count Basie, and the Ellington Orchestra. "A world class bassist" – John Clayton
A top New York based drummer who has personally studied with Max Roach and Art Blakey, Chuck McPherson has toured and performed with Freddie Hubbard, Roberta Flack, Harold Land, and was a member of Horace Silver's last band.

Compensation is long overdue
It is over a year since Rana Plaza collapsed and 1,138 people lost their lives and over 2,000 more were injured. Nothing can replace the loved ones lost, or erase the trauma both physical and mental suffered by the survivors, but they should not have to have the extra burden of not having their financial losses at least covered.
The Rana Plaza Arrangement is an unprecedented coordinated approach which will ensure all those who have suffered due to the collapse will receive payments to cover loss of income and medical costs.
US$40 million is needed in the Arrangement Trust fund to ensure payments can be made. The claims process has been completed and now the first tranche of payments have been made. But because the fund does not have enough money, claiments are only able to receive 40% of what they are rightfully owed. Now we are calling on all brands to pay up immediately. Join us in calling on brands to act.
Which brands have contributed to the fund?
To date the Donor Trust Fund has received just 1/3 of the funds it needs to be able to ensure all the families of victims and the survivors receive the compensation they require. Just half the companies who were connected to factories in the building have made contributions, they include:
Bonmarché, C&A Foundation, Camaïeu, El Corte Inglés, Inditex, KiK, Loblaw, LPP S.A., Mango, Mascot, Premier Clothing, Primark and Walmart and The Children's Place through BRAC USA.
But nearly all of these brands have failed to make a significant enough contribution and we are calling on them to increase their donations immediately.
N Brown Group, VF Corporation and The Gap have also made contributions as brands who source from Bangladesh, but had not had a sourcing relationship with Rana Plaza.
A dark day for fashion
On April 24th 2013 Rana Plaza a building housing five garment factories, in the Savar area of Bangladesh's capital Dhaka, collapsed.
Nine stories of concrete came crashing down killing 1,138 people and injuring over 2,000 more. It was the worst industrial accident to ever hit the garment industry and the images shocked the world.
At least 27 global garment brands had recent or current orders in with the five garment factories in the building. Nearly all those who died or were injured were garment workers. Many had been ordered back into the unsafe building by factory owners despite the building being evacuated the day before when giant cracks appeared in the walls.
A wake up call
In the immediate aftermath of the collapse the world's media descended on Dhaka and the terrible fate faced by so many was front page news.
This led over 150 companies to sign the Accord on Fire and Safety in Bangladesh, a legally binding and independent agreement designed to make all garment factories in Bangladesh safe workplaces.
This is an important step in ensuring such a terrible disaster doesn't happen again but for the survivors and the families of the dead it provides little relief.
Ten months on, the suffering continues
For the many who were in that building on that terrible day, and the families of those who never made it out there is little escape from the suffering they have endured.
They suffered terrible injuries, lost husbands and wives, children and parents, brothers and sisters; and will bear the physical and emotional scars for life. This can never be compensated for, but they can and should be compensated for loss of income and medical costs before one year has passed.
Brands must act now.
Benetton is the largest brand who have accepted they were sourcing in Rana Plaza and yet have failed to pay up.
They have claimed that they are supporting the victims through charitable support to BRAC, however charity is not the same as compensation, and the victims families and survivors have a legal right to full and fair compensation in order to allow them to rebuild their lives.
It is vital that Benetton pay up so the full payments can be made, and people can begin to rebuild their shattered lives.
What you can do.
- On Twitter? Please tweet "@Benetton please #payup for the victims of #RanaPlaza it is long overdue! #cleanclothes"
- Near a store? Then why not personalise this letter and deliver it to the store manager.

- On May 24th 2013 activists across the world took action calling for brands to Pay Up!

Stans Energy Supported By Canadian Government
Rodney Irwin, Chairman of the Board of Stans Energy Corp. ("Stans Energy" or the "Company"), (TSX-V: HRE, OTCQX: HREEF), Honorary Consul to Canada for the Kyrgyz Republic and Former Canadian Ambassador to Russia, is pleased to report that senior representatives of the Canadian government attended meetings with Kyrgyz government officials to demonstrate their support for the Company's initiatives at Kutessay II.
Canadian Member of Parliament, Bob Dechert; Parliamentary Secretary to Foreign Minister John Baird, accompanied by Trade Commissioner Marc Andre Savage from the Canadian Embassy met with senior Kyrgyz government officials. The goal of these meetings was to provide support for Canadian mining companies operating in Kyrgyzstan. Stans Energy's local representatives were pleased to brief the Canadian visitors on company activities, providing a corporate update in preparation for their calls on Kyrgyz officials and to discuss the value Canadian firms can bring to Kyrgyz economic priorities in the mining sector.
"This demonstration of support by Canadian government representatives, promotes Canada's commitment in encouraging business ties with developing economies in Central Asia, particularly in extractive industries. We are eager to continue our working relationship with the Kyrgyz authorities in an effort to put the Kutessay II Heavy Rare Earth mine back into production," states Rodney Irwin, Chairman of Stans Energy.
Stans Energy has also granted an aggregate of 100,000 options to an employee of the company. Each stock option entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company for $0.41 until March 21, 2018. All options granted and any common shares issued upon the exercise of the options will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period expiring July 21, 2013. The option grant was approved by the board of directors on March 21, 2013 and is subject to regulatory approval.
About Stans Energy Stans Energy Corp. is a resource development company focused on advancing Heavy Rare Earth (HRE) properties in areas of Central Asia and Russia. In December 2009, Stans acquired a 20-year mining license for the past-producing Kutessay II rare earth mine from the Kyrgyz Republic. On May 26, 2011 Stans completed the purchase of the Kashka Rare Earth Processing Plant (KRP) the same plant that previously refined REEs from Kutessay II ores. The KRP was the only hard rock plant to produce all rare earth elements outside of China, producing 120 different metals, alloys, and oxides. For over 30 years, Kutessay II produced 80% of the rare earth metals for the Former Soviet Union. We seek safe harbour. Contact Details |

I hate my Sony so bad, I'd love to buy a new one. On the other hand, I'm committed to not buying things I don't need. Maybe that Sony will have to become victim to an inexplicable electrical surge...
I bought one of these a couple of weeks ago when they had them for sale. Works great and the video quality is really nice. The only bad thing I can say about it is that the Netflix app isn't the best I've used but it gets the job done.

Thanks for mentioning the Netflix app--I've been wondering how well these players with "built-in" streaming devices work.
Thanks. That's one of my many gripes about the Sony. Considering how slick it is on the Playstation, there's no excuse for how bad it is on their Blu-ray player.
I can't get the Netflix app to even load. Freezes up the whole player.

You need the proprietary Samsung WiFi adapter for excellent streaming.
mollytim wrote:Woot is now a marketplace for Amazon [Overpriced] refurbs. Nothing to see here anymore...
Can't agree more.
If this comes around again, don't bother. Just about five months to the day since I put this item into (very light) service, it has become a paperweight. The HDMI-out port quit all of a sudden. Yes, I probably could get component cables and still use it--but why would I want to, when the point is the picture quality? I did all appropriate troubleshooting and Samsung sez--service it. Well, a refurb only gets three months warranty, so, no, I don't think I'll bother. Especially since the Netflix streaming is EXTREMELY cumbersome--for example, after watching, say, two shows from a multi-season show, then turning off the machine, you have to manually select episode 3 etc--from a list that is NOT broken up into seasons. Wanna get to ep 24 of season 7? Better be prepared to scroll for a while. Poop!

Mashed Potatoes with Crispy Shallots
For ultrafluffy potatoes, Grace Parisi presses them through a ricer. To achieve a similar texture, pass the potatoes through a food mill or a fine-mesh sieve. If you choose to mash them by hand, be gentle; otherwise, the potatoes will turn gluey. Grace offers other creative ideas for fluffy mashed potatoes like Mashed Potatoes with Parmesan Cheese and Fresh Thyme and Mashed Potatoes with Butternut Squash.

Download the ASCENT newsletter
Atmospheric Science Collaborations and Enriching NeTworks (ASCENT) is a program focusing on women in atmospheric science/meteorology and is designed to initiate positive professional relationships among female faculty of different ranks and postdoctoral researchers. The program consists of a three-day summer workshop with follow-up reunion events at major national meetings. While networking with like-minded women scientists, participants will have the opportunity to be involved in frank discussions to explore specific promising practices toward eliminating the "leaky pipeline", defined by the attrition of women at different stages in their academic careers. By fostering relationships among women faculty and researchers, ASCENT will develop research opportunities and improve the quality of collaborative atmospheric research conducted at multiple universities and colleges.

Olympics panel - Day 1
Throughout the Games, the Sky Sports News Olympics Panel will bring you the very best analysis across a wide range of sports. Here's what our experts had to say on the big stories coming out of London today...
Last Updated: 29/07/12 10:57am
Team Sky rider Luke Rowe on what went wrong for Mark Cavendish
Team GB were left with a lot of work to do. Earlier on they did a lot of the work themselves and did not get a lot of help from other sprint nations such as Germany and America who I thought would have contributed a little bit more. With small teams you do need the help of other nations. We just saw Andre Greipel lead the sprint in for fourth and you ask yourself why didn't Germany contribute a bit more earlier on. The GB boys rode incredible and they have all finished in pieces - they all gave their best. There is always another day. There are still a lot of races left this season and Mark Cavendish will still want to win them, he won three stages in the Tour de France so the summer has s till been successful for him. It did not quite pan out the way we hoped today but that is bike racing for you, it is so unpredictable and anything can happen.
Nick Gillingham and Cassie Patten on empty seats at the Aquatic centre
Nick: I saw the empty seats and wondered what on earth was going on. The talk at the ground was that they were corporate hospitality tickets and possibly the individuals were up very late at the opening ceremony so perhaps didn't take the offer. I think it is a real shame that real supporters of the sport cannot be there and it has to be addressed in the near future.
Cassie: Sponsorship is very important but at the same time so are the fans. It is about getting that balance right - if they are not going to turn up then maybe there should be a last minute ticket section where people can come here and try their luck. To see empty seats is not only bad for people who want to watch but it is bad for the swimmers too.
Cassie Patten on men's 400m Individual Medley
Ryan Lochte is world number 1 at the moment and he has beaten Michael Phelps in the US trials. Lochte is top of the world at the momenta nd I think this is going to be his event. Joe Roebuck is seventh in the world at the moment and his times are about 7 second off Lochte's. Finger's crossed for him to make the final but I think Lochte has this one - he is such a showman too - he has the swagger of Usain Bolt. It is going to be an interesting race.
Watch more of Cassie's predictions here
Jonny Nelson on Olympic boxing
Olympic boxing is more about the finesse of the game, it is more brains then brawn and that is what the judges want to see. At the Olympics you cannot be the toughest man here, you have to be the smartest man in the ring.
Winning an Olympic gold is just massive, it can turn you from a star into a super star - like your Muhammad Ali's, like your Oscar De La Hoya's. That is the different between being an average champion and a champion across the board. There are two things that stand out at the Olympics - the 100m final and the heavyweight champion. You still need to put the hard work in though - just because you win it does not give you a passport to stardom.
Charlie Turner on swimming trials
She had a really solid swim this morning, she was about two seconds off the pace she went in the trials in march but I think she will be a lot quicker this evening. She has made the final in sixth place and has a little bit of work to do to get into the medals. She is really strong and will not give up.
I don't know what happened to Michael Phelps this morning, maybe it was a case of being a little bit rusty. He got his timing wrong and we know he is capable of a lot more than swimming 4.13 for a 400 medley. He is the world record holder and has swum 4.03. I expect him this evening to come out and be a lot quicker and a totally different athlete and give Lochte a race for the gold medal.
David Carry had a really solid swim to make the 400m freestyle final. He didn't make the team the first round but went away and came back for the second selection meet and qualified there. He had a really strong swim this morning and qualified for the final with the 7th fastest time. As long as you have a place in the final you have a chance for a medal so it will be a great race for him.
Duncan Goodhew on Hannah Miley and David Carry
She is terrific girl but she needs to have an incredible swim to win - I am always optimistic though so Go Hannah!
David Carry has really lifted his game, I think to get on the podium is going to be a real ask but if you have a ticket in the lottery then you have a chance to win!
British swimming are predicting six medals - I think we can go closer to ten. That is including Open water. Keri-anne Payne is just superb; she is carrying a lot of weight on her shoulders. It's a tough place to be when you have all that pressure and expectation.

COTTAGERS! We're in Kirkfield Sat.
Labour day Saturday you'll find us at the Kirkfield Fun Day – right there at the church. 8 ponies offering rides from 10:00 to closing. Come out, chat, grab some eats and give the kids a ride!
Aug 25 2014
Busy busy day, 08/24/14! Wow!
Talk about your "non-stop"! It was just exactly that from 3 pm to 6 pm yesterday. Kept 8 ponies busy for all of those 3 hours and we still had to turn kids away! It was fun though!
Then we followed this up with a birthday party in Rougehill for wee ones. Such excitement!
Aug 24 2014
Another busy Sunday!
We'll be 3 hours at the community bash at 1423 Thornton Rd. N. from 3 pm to 6 pm today. The public is welcome so why not drop in to say hi?
Later in the day we have another B-Day party in Rouge Hill. Ah yeah, supper's going to be late! <Grin>
Aug 16 2014
We were participating in the West-Oshawa Lion's Club picnic today which the rain tried hard to cancel but we're all a hardy bunch and the weather wasn't able to prevent lots of fun. Good eats too!
However, what did manage to put a damper on things was a wasps nest hiding in the grass at the base of a fence post. Poor Nikki discovered it very much the hard way and sustained about 50 stings before we could get her away. Poor Frank took the challenge of holding on to a frightened bucking pony who just wanted to run, and did, with Frank flying right along side her. <Giggle> Going to keep her close tonight to make sure she is alright. Oh, and yes, Frank's fine – only a couple of stings for him.
Then Caleb decided to level a kick or two at Munchie and Cole thought that looked like great fun so he did too. Poor Munchie said to get him off this bus but then didn't wait around and got himself off the bus (trailer) as soon as the door opened. Another pony to catch.
Then Flippy found out the power was off on the fence and invited himself to the lawn and took Deuce along with him. Deuce was easy enough to catch, Flippy not so much! He is such a brat!
Now it's raining horses and ponies so there goes another B.B.Q'd supper!
Aug 16 2014
Parties On & Off and Comings & Goings!
Today was to have been a busy one with Frank taking the large trailer to a 3 hour carousel job and me going another way to a 2 hour Birthday Party. Sadly, the birthday party was cancelled at the last minute.
It's important to understand that I work hard for you to secure you the time slot you'd like but it isn't always possible. I did the cancelling on this one. Know that feeling you get when you just know things are not going to end well?
The good news however is that now I have some time to spend here, updating everyone on any changes – and there is a great one! Fitting into the "Comings and Goings" category, this time it's a "Coming"!
Please allow me to present "Charlie's Pride Melody Fair"

Yahoo! We made it!
It was a close thing but we made it! With help from some friends and family we had all our hay under the roof by 8:50 and the rain started at just past 9:20.
That was exhausting too since everyone had already put in a full day at work and we didn't get started until late in the day. Oh how I hate the stress of making hay!

Sunday will be a BIG day!
Big challenges indeed! We're doing a 3-pony, 3-hour venue mid-day and then returning home to the need to get all our hay baled and stored inside before any rain!
As a local farmer likes to say " Making hay is a crap-shoot!" Having lost the hay of our headlands to rain twice this year, I'm confident this time we'll be lucky.
No Rain!

Going to be needing my walking shoes again tomorrow! Have another two parties booked! My feet will be screaming at me! <Grin>. Love it – the way I can lose some of my winter weight every summer!

I had the game on my wishlist hoping to pick it up when the price came down a little and I had more time. Having fired up the demo last night I am glad I did not pick this up in one of the black Friday deals. The demo completely turned my opinion of this game. I get that this is closer to borderlands than it is Doom but if you are going to put "from the makers of Doom" on your box then at least come out swinging in your demo. Yeah, I know it is only a demo and the game in its entirety is probably much better but this demo managed to put me off the game permanantly.
Instead, the demo opens to you being plopped into the center of very Borderlands-esque town with no real direction on what to do or what to go. WTF is there a map in this game even? So with no gun or anything in hand I wander around town for a while. I manage to find a few people to talk to - your standard NPC drivel and a few mini-games to play. I am now 10-15 minutes into the demo and the most 'action' I have seen was playing cards. WTF.
I come across a race crew - finally, something the game has touted as 'its thing". It appears my level only allows me to do a time trial event so I hop in a car and set off on three laps around the simple course. Not expecting an all out gun blazing epic chase for my first race but a circle....snooze. Not to mention the physics feel like I'm playing a FPS with a tacked on driving element. I'm not saying I need Dirt but at least try if you are going to make vehicles a major portion of you game.
Eventually I manage to find the Mayor who gives me a quest to find someone to get me new clothes. Funny, everyone seems to be worried how I am dressed but I can't tell at all since this is a FPS. It appears there are no mirrors in town either.
I finally make my way to a quest with some shooting. First thing I do is walk into a group of three bandits who quickly gun me down. It is late and the first action I've seen, the first chance I get to even pull the trigger and see how the FPS controls feel, I am outnumbered and dispatched of quickly. I Rage quit never to return.

So, you can read my month long credit saga elsewhere on these boards (just ask if you want the link), but basically, I'm new, 21, engaged, and I just got a discover open road card. Me and my fiancée are trying to build up our credit before buying a house and so I'm trying to be very careful about everything.
I was planning on waiting 6 months to apply for anything else (look at me being a good gardener!), but we're going to look at wedding bands on Saturday. I know when we go into Helzberg (where I got her engagement ring), they'll offer me a credit card. Should I go ahead and apply for it right after I got my discover card so I can have 2 cards reporting? Or should I turn it down and keep gardening?
Do you need the financing or can you pay with your Discover and PIF? If you aren't going to be able to pay it off, I'd go for the Helzberg card so you can get 0% financing, otherwise I'd garden for ~6 months and then try for another prime cards (that way you don't get a "too many inquiries" denial on your next prime app).
If Helzberg is offering 0 percent, I'd apply for it.
Just FYI Helzberg is HSBC. HSBC is impossible to work with and Helzberg sales associates are dirtbags I've dealt with them and was heavily mislead as a young person at 18 years old.
Also, buying jewelry from Mall stores isn't exactly a great place to buy jewelry as a lot of them don't supply recognized certificates like GIA or AGS with their diamonds. They usually have some EIA bullcrap grading standard that noone has ever heard of before and hold no water in terms of value. FYI Never buy a diamond that doesn't come with a verified GIA or AGS certificate. I doubt Helzberg is selling those based on my last encounter with them, however things may have changed.
I don't need the financing, and the diamond part is done. We just need some inexpensive rings. I just figured some extra total utilization and another eventual anchor for my AAoA would be helpful.

Inside Kyoto Japanese Steak House, guests sit at large hibachi tables with a close-up view of chefs cooking scallops, filet mignon, chicken, and lobster. More than 80 traditional Japanese and Thai dishes are grilled up by hibachi chefs, and 25 specialty rolls take shape in the hands of sushi chefs, who combine ingredients such as soft-shell-crab tempura, flounder, and submarine meat. Above the dark-wood floor of the dining room, a curved bar serves up sake and fruit-infused cocktails.
It's no easy task, but somehow Duo Restaurant & Lounge manages to meld elegant dining and a sophisticated Manhattan-inspired lounge experience all under one roof. The duality also applies to the cuisine, an artfully plated cross between upscale bar food and classic steak-house items. Toasted cheese-stuffed ravioli and burgers crowned with white cheddar and bacon represent the former, and the latter includes potato-crusted yukon salmon and 10-ounce new york strips served with whipped potatoes and house zip sauce.
The theme is also evident in a cocktail menu divided between classics such as pomegranate martinis and inventive signatures such as the plum sake and the Taste of Asia's elderflower blend. Visitors can also peruse a wine list that groups selections around flavor categories such as Light, White & Interesting and Lots of Pinot Noir.
Tracing its lineage back to 1939, Lelli's remains in the hands of its original founders, the Lelli family, and continues its culinary tradition of rich, Northern Italian steak-house fare. Skilled chefs and servers prepare and present à la carte dishes such as juicy filet mignon, fresh seafood, and house-made egg pastas draped with rich tomato and cream-based sauces, or bookend European-style six-course meals with antipasto and palate-cleansing spumoni. The dimly lit dining room plays host to private events, corporate dinners, and family meals, and frames feasts with light that glints from candles and crystal chandeliers, reflecting off of cherry-wood furnishings and roosting in the folds of alabaster tablecloths.
Roma Caf? started out as a one-woman operation way back in 1888. The Marazza family ran a boarding house for Eastern Market farmers, and Mrs. Marazza would always serve a hot meal to anyone who stayed. Word of her cooking skills spread quickly throughout the Eastern Market area, and her various fans convinced her to open an official restaurant. In February of 1890, Roma Caf? was born.
Its continuing commitment to classic recipes is apparent from one glance at the menu, where housemade pastas share space with veal scaloppine and broiled lobster tails. Adventurous eaters will be drawn to dishes such as the sauteed sweetbreads and frog legs, and wine enthusiasts can browse an extensive list of reds, whites, and specials.
Although the baked lasagna and chicken parmigiana are certainly Old World staples, Roma Caf? hasn't become mired in tradition. Its third-generation owner, Janet Sossi Belcoure, takes regular trips to Italy that keep her up-to-date on culinary trends and the latest gossip on who's dating Michelangelo's David. The restaurant also offers an all-you-can-eat buffet on Monday nights, complete with appetizers, pasta dishes, and cannoli. If you stop by on the night of a Red Wings game, there's even a shuttle that will take you to the arena.
The only Detroit eatery named to OpenTable's 2011 list of top 50 scenic-view restaurants, Coach Insignia lets diners soak in views of the city from the 71st and 72nd floors of the GM Renaissance Center. In the sky-high kitchen, executive chef Frank Turner gives traditional dishes a modern twist—for instance, a corn-dog appetizer comes stuffed with fried lobster, and standards like veal Oscar share menu space with Asian-fusion pan-seared tofu. Turner and his staff also grill USDA prime and certified Angus beef steaks and source fresh local ingredients from Michigan farmers and markets whenever possible. Additionally, the 720-bottle wine list earned Wine Spectator's "Best Of" Award of Excellence in 2011.

I used fresh flat leaf parsley, grated garlic, gruyere cheese shards, red pepper flakes, and light sea salt. This was excellent.

To be honest, I'm not convinced by the current evidence that chemicals in diet soda are directly dangerous to your health—or your mood, as that recent buzzy study about diet soda and depression suggested. But plenty of studies link drinking lots of the stuff with weight gain. This is probably because we view it as some kind of magical free pass to devour the crappy foods (burger, fries) that come with it.
Some research does suggest that artificial sweeteners may make us crave more sugary foods, but if you have one diet soda a day and live an otherwise healthy life, I say it's a nonissue. However, exist on diet soda? And use it as an excuse to indulge in unhealthy habits elsewhere? It will almost definitely catch up with you someday.

Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- New York Times Co., publisher of the namesake newspaper, reported a 12 percent drop in fourth-quarter profit, capping a year marked by shrinkage of print advertising.
Net income fell to $58.9 million, or 39 cents a share, from $67.1 million, or 44 cents, a year earlier, the New York-based company said in a statement today. Excluding some items, profit was 45 cents a share, compared with the 42-cent average of analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
The company, also owner of the Boston Globe and About.com, has looked to expand its Internet business in the face of declining print ad sales. A so-called paywall, which went up in March on the New York Times website, bolstered digital advertising and lifted the publisher's paying online subscribers to 406,000 as of Dec. 31 from 324,000 a quarter earlier.
Sales dropped 2.8 percent to $643 million. Analysts on average had estimated $646.8 million, according to a survey by Bloomberg.
The December departure of Chief Executive Officer Janet Robinson, who was granted an exit package totaling more than $21 million, left a leadership vacuum. The company is faced with falling revenue, profit squeezed by pension costs, and pressure from members of the Ochs-Sulzberger family, which controls the board, to restore a dividend once worth more than $20 million a year to them. Times Co., headed by Chairman Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., hasn't paid any dividend since 2008.
CEO Hunt
The company is looking for a non-family member to be CEO, two people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News for an article published on Jan. 27. The two declined to be identified because the information isn't public.
"We're looking for some more color on what the management situation is," Alexia Quadrani, a JPMorgan Chase & Co. analyst, who rates Times Co. shares "neutral" and doesn't own any, said in a telephone interview on Jan. 30.
Having an executive with digital expertise is important at a time that print advertising is seeing declines, said Ken Doctor, media analyst with Newsonomics and Outsell Inc.
Gannett Co., the publisher of 82 newspapers, including USA Today, on Jan. 30 reported a 5.3 percent drop in publishing revenue for the fourth quarter.
"You're going to see lower newspaper advertising right across the sector," said Edward Atorino, an analyst at Benchmark Co. in New York, in a telephone interview on Jan. 27.
Times Co. shares rose 3 percent to $7.67 yesterday. The shares had declined 0.8 percent this year before today.

what's this, the circled vine. Next to it is cockscomb I planted. I have morning glories planted somewhat close, but they haven't bloom, so it's not a seedling, plus the leaves are shaped differently.
And this stuff, its all over. (not the fleabane, the green foilage stuff) When it was 1st growing, I thought it was Queen Annes Lace. When it was really small they looked the same. I have a lot of QAL in that area. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The first one looks like bindweed. Your second picture is really dark but looks like ragweed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia. |
Here is a link that might be useful: ragweed
The second one is most definantly ragweed. I did some looking up on bindweed, and it looks like hedge bindweed. I think I might chance moving it to a spot that doesn't grow things well and I won't mind it trying to spread. The flowers are pretty. Then again...if I let it flower, it'll reseed... Never mind, I just read that it's illegal to grow it in Michigan, but then again, it also says it's illegal to grow and or sell Morning glories, but those are at every nursery...weird. Anyways...THANKS carol23! |
The first plant isn't hedge bindweed, or any other bindweed in the genus Ipomoea species. It's a vine in the buckwheat family, most likely Polygonum convolvulus. This has the common name black bindweed, though it's unrelated to the morning glory-type bindweeds. It does sometimes show up as a garden weed. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Polygonum convolvulus
I don't know, on the link below it compares Field bindweed, hedge bindweed and the buckwheat vine, and to me it looks more like the hedge bindweed pics. I potted it up, I guess I'll see if it flowers like bindweed or the buckwheat vine. |
Here is a link that might be useful: bindweed
Ok Janet, you win! Its the Polygonum convolvulus. I found another one, in bloom. Thanks! |

With nine offices across eight counties, Speech & Hearing Associates is one of the largest private practices in New Jersey, and the team of audiologists and speech-language pathologists offer comprehensive services for the evaluation and treatment of speech and hearing disorders.
The proprietors of Gleason Wellness and Rehabilitation Center believe that however predisposed the body is toward wellness, it often becomes blocked by age, stress, and unavoidable external forces. Surgery is a common answer to health concerns, but it may not be the right one. That's why Dr. Gleason's licensed therapists offer less-invasive avenues to attain wellness, such as acupuncture, physical therapy, and private chiropractic care.
Dr. James Morgan has worked tirelessly to bring healthcare to Cité Soleil, Haiti. In 2006, he and a human-rights attorney founded The Lamp for Haiti, which provides medical services to Haitians living in one of the poorest communities in the Western Hemisphere. He treats these patients with the same compassion and respect as he does his patients at M.C. Medical Group, where he is one of five highly accredited doctors; others boast such achievements as graduating magna cum laude from Yale and receiving an assistant professorship at Loyola University Health Systems. Together, they literally treat the body from the inside out with both an internal-medicine division and a dermatology division that tends to hair, skin, and nails. M.C. Medical Group also houses a cosmetic and laser-skincare clinic where patients can receive facials and peels or have their barcode tattoos read.
Unlike the polyurethane hairpieces and novelty golf visors manufactured by other hair-replacement companies, the translucent HairLucent system used at Masterlink creates a soft, natural hairline and allows the scalp to breathe. The natural-looking hair replacement system allows light to reflect naturally off the head, creating an attractive look whether you?re in the spotlight or candlelight. A wander through the company?s photo gallery provides a sampling of client scalps, each showcasing a healthy head of hair in a variety of colors, lengths, densities, and textures.
Dr. Warren Richman welcomes clients of all ages to his Clifton practice, where he channels more than 37 years of experience that included stints in the clinical faculty at the Fairleigh Dickinson Dental School and at the postgraduate dental clinic of Beth Israel Hospital. At his comfortable practice, Dr. Warren Richman takes a gentle approach as he administers exams and cleanings, performs root canals, or restores implants and veneers. He also provides whitening services that make teeth feel healthy, as well as emergency treatments when his clients need urgent care or when his clients' chattering teeth fall apart before their vaudeville routines.
