@bullpr - Sorry my friend. Too busy sleeping with really really really hot women to research so much on what is obvious, both sides are wrong and need to cut it out and stop killing children. No justification. None. Now I´m going back to sleep with some chicks.
jphulk26's forum posts
@bullpr - You make some valid points. Well done, I hope it helps you sleep at night, being so clever.
Actually, Gal Gadot is still Israeli and served for two years in the IDF (not Mossad) so her showing her support to her brothers and sisters in arms is nothing to be outraged about. She was on those streets, she was there, she's not clueless and has a better frame of reference than anyone on these boards criticizing her so far.
She's a military veteran supporting the people of her country and their military, which she was a part of.
did you read the comments or just assume what people said. Hardly anyone has acted outraged at Gal, neither have I said she was wrong, it´s actually been a rather civil discussion for the most part. Maybe respond to what is being said rather than responding to what you assume has been said. We have discussed back and forth on many aspect of the situation and as I said by and large it has been a civil discussion, with everyone free to share their thoughts, without name-calling, blaming or accusations of wrong doing. I am obviously not Israeli and not Jewish, so I cannot know how she feels, on the other hand I am a WW fan, and I know what she represents. Having said that you can´t possibly be suggesting I have no right to have an opinion or state my thoughts on the current conflict simply because I have never served in the Israeli Military and therefore must no nothing about what´s going on? I asked the initial question only in reference to her playing WW - as well as - Gal´s fellow actors being threatened to be blacklisted by Hollywood Executives for daring to say anything against Israel. I have gone no further than that nor did I claim to be outraged by her comments, being uncomfortable with something, is not the same as being outraged.
What's with this post she's Israeli and she supports her country I don't see anything wrong with supporting your country. Also I don't support any side since I haven't been there and I don't believe everything they say on The TV we don't really know who started this conflict.
Depends on what country, surely? Or is nationalism a virtue in and of itself always worth following?
I actually think Nationalism or National Pride as a whole tends to be a rather silly affair. Nationalism simply teaches people to hate those they don´t know or have never met; some how take pride in achievements, they had no responsibility for, and, claim to have gone through trials of human suffering they never experienced. I think humanism should be taught, especially in these times of war. Sure sometimes we must defend ourselves, but we should do in on a rational basis, not on the basis of hatred towards the other side. My fear when it spills over into irrationalism and blind hatred toward our perceived enemies, as Nationalism often inclines war into the direction of, every side then loses the moral high ground. One cannot preach righteousness of their cause through the prism of Nationalist Fervor, and Irrationalism. It immediately negates what they have to say, even if they do have some valid points, because really it means their intention is to punish and destroy, rather than defend, and seek peace.
1. I agree with you that it is wrong for people to cry racism at any criticism just because they belong to an ethnic group. If you've got a problem with someones personality and they happen to be a different race it is not racism. Full stop. Rather it is a criticism of the person themselves and how they act. It only becomes racism when people fully hate the person because of there ethnic origin. So yeah if people have got a problem with Israel because of the amount of civilian deaths it's not anti semetic rather it's a cry for Israel to be careful in their defence.
2. Again that is a valid point. Actors who play super heroes are needed to be morally upright or posses the same qualities as their character. Like you said, Christopher Reeves acted like superman a lot in his real life. He donated much to charity and spent time at the make a wish foundation dressed up as superman. Henry cavil does the same thing. Christian bale like you mentioned went to the funerals for the people who died in the batman shootings and signed autographs and gave his condolences to the families of the lost. Ron Perlman also spends time at make a wish foundation as hellboy. However i believe it is slightly to early for Gal Gadot to appear like she is wonder woman mainly because we don't know how WW will act in the film. If the script has changed her from being an envoy of peace to a warrior born then she will act a different way. At the end of the day Gadot made these remarks not to promote Israel itself but acknowledge the sacrifices being made by the IDF soldiers. Since she was in the military she is going to support the troops so to speak and I personally still think it's too early to judge her.
Fair enough. Agreed on both points. although on a separate note I hope she isn´t simply presented as a warrior, especially in her own film. I think that is a terrible way to depict and reintroduce the character to a new age. Her dedication to peace and diplomacy, is what´s made her standout from so many other superheroes throughout the years. I mean with Snyder I have no hope, I know he´s just eating up New 52 and even if he did try and encapsulate her ideals, I´m pretty sure he´d screw it up. So I´m pretty much expecting badass warrior/paltry feminist, who is a love interest to Bruce or Clark. However I´m hoping she´ll do well enough in the movie that they´ll green light a solo project which a new team can come on and rectify and bring in parts of the original concept of the character. Who knows what they´ll do but I find the Ambassador of Peace/Warrior a far more compelling character, with far more inner conflict between how to balance both sides. But knowing WB, I´m guessing she will just be badass warrior with no message apart from "Lets Fight." and some fey idiotic version of Girl Power. Who knows?
Ah hell i'm gonna get ripped apart for this. Ah well here goes.
Before I start I want to say this is all my own opinion and I don't support any side. I'm not american or israeli, in fact I'm British. Go figure.
It doesn't really matter what Gadot says because it doesn't affect the character. Wonder Woman in the new 52 has been portrayed as someone who intervenes when she wants to. Like when her and superman went to a mid east country and rescued a bunch of hostages from terrorists even though the US government wasn't allowed over the border. Whose to say she, if she existed, wouldn't intervene in this conflict? Secondly I absolutely love how everyone jumps the gun to demonise Israel but not Hamas or how they're rockets are killing children in Israel. Israel could probably start putting ads on TV saying look at our children dying. But they don't. Unlike the rest of the world they're not afraid to respond in force, which yes can result in deaths of civilians and that is truly horrible but at the end of the day this a war not for nation or anything else but for existence. In every war there is civilian casualties no matter how hard they try to avoid them. It's a grim reality of war and that truly is a shame. But look were Israel is. The country that is Jewish too it's core is surrounded by Muslim countries. Again muslims are generally nice people and i am proud to call many my friend. It is extremist that ruin the whole thing for everyone. Throughout the last 60 or 70 years Israel have been attacked repeatedly. The four day war, the Munich massacre and so on and so forth. Do you really think they're gonna lie down and take it? No. They have as much right to defend themselves as any other country. Until the entirety of Hamas is destroyed then what is the point of Israel sitting back and letting their country be bombed. Or is that the only way they can gain peace? By letting Hamas even the plate so to speak. Hell if that's the case give Hamas nukes and lets all sit back and enjoy the fireworks show.
1. Well put. But can I ask you 2 questions, is it right for Jewish Producers to call people out as antisemetic if they don´t agree with how Israel are handling things, and further more threaten their livelihood?
2. It is true playing Wonder Woman does not mean one has a responsibility to do or act in anyway. She´s just a character. However, how would you have felt about Christian Bale if he said nothing about 2012 Aurora shooting? And is it not true that Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman, are so well-loved and admired as characters and symbols that in away actors do somehow take on a small responsibility when playing them? Look at all the work Lynda Carter has done with Feminist causes and LGBT as well as other charitable work. Christian Bale has done similar work with children after playing Batman. Obviously Christopher Reeves was very vocal in various causes throughout his life, because he knew the message he was sending was all the more powerful, because he in many peoples minds was the definitive Superman. Silly as it is, especially children find it very difficult to separate these actors from these roles. For adults it´s fine. But what they do both inside and outside the cape becomes a very powerful message once they take on the role. It´s not that we think of them as the character but we associate them with the character. And as stated before especially young children. I mean we think of Superman as just some fictional character, but look at the backlash to Man Of Steel when he just killed someone. That´s what these 3 characters especially mean to people. It may not really sink in how powerful and how tremendous a responsibility she has until kids come up to her on the street and they are not calling her Gal, but "Hey Wonder Woman." I think for people on this board because we haven´t seen her yet, and we still think of her as this little Jewish model whose words are insignificant, we´re just dismissing it. But once that film drops if she is well-recieved in the movie that is our generations WW. And I truly dread the day she uses that privilege to be routing for one side or another a brutal and barbaric war, which has claimed the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocents.
That is my worry.
@fallschirmjager - i´m not moaning or complaining. I wanted to find out what people thought. As for an actor having their own beliefs which should not concern the characters they play, I agree. But given the volatile and very current nature of this bitter conflict I thought it was worth discussing. I never said she shouldn´t play WW because of her beliefs, did I?
I merely said I feel uncomfortable with the woman playing WW espousing such Nationalistic beliefs (in a time when many consider what Israel is doing to constitute criminal behavior) given the nature of the character and what she is supposed to represent. That´s my opinion, I´m glad you have yours.
As for whether I support any actor stating what they think, of course I do, that doesn´t mean I have to be comfortable with it.
because she is.
@dshipp17 - It sounds to me like Israeli children are brainwashed from childhood to. What´s the difference? Both sides have to stop this circular logic. In war of course a nation is going to brainwash children to hate the other side. This war either goes on forever, ends in extermination of one side or Peace? Those are the only 3 options, which would you rather see?
I liked the Smallville comic take on thier relationship...a very cute childhood crush thing with Diana being slightly more eccentric and Steve playing the straight man. Lots of fun in that arc.
What Smallville comic take. i want to read that. Where is it?
By the way I´m stunned Steve is loosing. Are we talking about in an origin story by the way? because I can´t believe people would not want steve to be her love interest in an origin story?

for no practical reason whatsoever, i'm on team LEVER.
Between the two i prefer lever for short to medium range, and bolt action for long range
MANY (not all, just many) lever actions cannot handle the pressures of cartridges that a bolt will handle. Lever has a handicap when shooting from the bench. When hunting, the lever will give a quicker reload than most bolts. Have both, love both.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Depends on the job. I like bolts for accuracy and range. Levers are handy for packing in the woods, quick follow up shots and just plain fun.
I don't think there ever has been a real rivalry between the lever-action and bolt-action rifles. Shooters seem to like both types of rifles for their specific features.
Question makes no sense For what reason? In general? Accuracy/distance - Bolt Speed - Lever
Texan By Birth & Choice USMC/VIET NAM VET
What would be it's intended use? For applications where accuracy and strength are paramount? Bolt. For hunting in brush country with lower intensity calibers? Lever.
I like them both b/c they work great depending on what your doing. It never hurts to have 1 of each and throw in a semi while your at it for me.
lever actions are faster to shoot, you can get them in pistol calibers so you can carry the same type of ammo, on the other hand bolt actions can shoot more high powered rounds in some cases more accurately and bolt guns can also weight more then a lever action and are generally longer. For my walk around gun when I'm just walking through the woods when I do carry a rifle I carry a old winchester 30-30. I don't plan on killing any deer or anything like that but it's a good all around round that can take down trespassers as well as deer if need be. Bolt guns are all good and fun for long range, hunting, and snipers but if your hiking through brush and you might have to shoot more then once I'd choose a lever action everytime.

I have a Pembina already, but I've been thinking about getting a Patterson Pride plum: I love weeping everything(hence my name!) and in particular I'm interested because it is supposed to have a less sour skin than Pembina.
I'm a little concerned about when its fruit ripens. I'm reading mid September. I live on a farm, so it may be even later for me, as my trees usually bud out later than those in the city. Am I only going to be able to get the fruit to ripen some years? I live near Saskatoon, SK...anyone in zone 2b have this tree and have good success with it? I don't like tinkering around with trees and fruit that only "sort of" grow here. |

Jay Simpson is in talks with a couple of Championship clubs, his agent has confirmed to skysports.com.
The Arsenal forward spent last season on loan at Queens Park Rangers and impressed with 12 goals.
Now a number of clubs are looking to land him, including Leeds, Hull City, Crystal Palace and QPR.
Skysports.com understands that it is Leeds and Hull who are leading the chase, and Simpson could be set to make a decision before the weekend.
"I can confirm a couple of clubs have agreed a deal with Arsenal and we are now in talks with them," his advisor Uben Gray told skysports.com.
Sources in the capital suggest Arsenal have agreed a deal of around £1.2million for Simpson - who has featured three times for the Gunners, scoring twice.

We are dog walkers and pet sitters. We give your dog a daily walk while you are at work. We also pet sit. While you are away on vacation we care for your pet in your home. We walk, feed, play, and care for your pets but also we care for your house. We make it looked lived in with lights on, curtains and garbage pick up day.
The team of veterinarians and technicians at Green Trails Animal Clinic make the time to personally get to know each family and pet who comes through the doors. That philosophy starts with the belief that a trusting relationship is necessary between the doctor and patients, especially when furry friends need medical care. Green Trails provides a full range of preventive care services for cats and dogs that include regular check-ups, vaccinations, and dental cleanings. For more serious ailments, the doctors also conduct emergency care and specialty treatments that include oxygen therapy and post operative recovery. And when you're away, the facility also takes animals in for boarding where they're fed, looked after, and taught how to win at chess.
Land mines, poop piles, dog logs—no matter what the euphemism, Poop 911 allows families to circumvent one of the unappealing parts of dog ownership. It'll clear entire yards of dog waste, and even can apply repellent to deter pets from destroying a treasured flower bed or magic beanstalk. Other add-ons include raking leaves and dog walking.
Just like at the finest dining establishments, the dog meals at Wiggle Waggles are made fresh to order. Owners beg for scraps as their pups push their noses into healthy servings of muttloaf and turkey quiche, made with organic ingredients and without added salt or sugar. For dessert, dogs sate themselves with one of the bakery's hand-crafted treats, which are also organic and preservative free, and come in flavors such as reduced-fat cheese, turkey bacon, and peanut butter. They enjoy their treats perched at one of the lime-green cubes that bring pooches up to table level, or take them home to enjoy in front of the television. The eatery also caters puppy birthday parties complete with a custom organic cake, and provides pet-care services such as dog walking and sitting.
Hi, I'm Joi, The Naperville Pet Nanny. I've been keeping just one or two guest dogs cage free over night in my Naperville home for over 30 years now. We have acres of walking trails near downtown Naperville. I was college trained in dog care and certified in dog grooming. Don't send your dog to jail while your away.
Founded in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1996 by pet owners who were sick of bothering neighbors to care for their furry charges when they were busy or away, Out-U-Go! keeps beloved animals happy when their owners are unavailable. Certified members of Pet Sitter International, Out-U-Go's fully licensed and bonded pet professionals undergo a rigorous screening process, putting in time at the company's Dog Walk University to learn how to deal with willful pets, calmly handle emergencies, and internalize animals' fear of vacuums. New customers start off with a free meet and greet, with sitters coming to the house to meet dogs, cats, and smaller critters, and discuss special needs and routines. Services range from daily walks to full-time housesitting and pet taxi rides to groomers, vets, and kennels.

Executive Summary
This report provides detailed accounts of planning carried out in
connection with community fiber networks in Washington, D.C., San
Francisco, CA, and Seattle, WA. It includes information about existing
fiber assets that the cities identified, funding mechanisms that were
considered, and roadblocks that were encountered. Our hope is that this
report will be helpful to other cities that are considering launching
fiber optic networks.
Key Findings
Although everyone thinks of high-speed, high-capacity Internet access as a "must have" — a utility — the entire highly-concentrated information-transport industry in the US can set prices and determine the quality of their services at will. With the exception of the 16M households that will have access to (expensive) Verizon FiOS services — and can choose between that service and cable — the rest of the country has vanishingly few choices for high-capacity data transport. And America does not have a plan for making an upgrade to fiber optic connections to homes and businesses.
AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast, who together account for about two-thirds of the trillion dollar enterprise value of this sector, have tremendous scale and scope. And they're sensible. They're not about to engage in price wars or unnecessary upgrades. They're private companies whose perfectly lawful interests do not necessarily align with the public interest in ubiquitous, world-leading, inexpensive, high-capacity, wired transport of data.
As a result, we spend a lot of time waiting around, even though we're impatient Americans. (Nice video here: Living with Lag.) And we pay a lot – when it comes to high-capacity connections, we pay more per megabyte of data than people do in developed countries other than Mexico, Chile, and Turkey. Most Americans don't know how much better our data-transport story could be — because they haven't been to the places around the world where cheap unlimited symmetric communications capacity is taken for granted.
This is a social issue that undermines everything we want to accomplish as a country: response to climate change, better educational outcomes, reduction of inequality, creation of new jobs, creation of greater public trust…
Here's the good news: Many mayors in America are unwilling to settle for this situation. They're considering clearing the way for fiber networks to be built by public or private entities that use city conduit, pole access, and other assets. (There are already more than 400 communities across the country with their own networks serving local businesses and/or residents.) See muninetworks.org for information.
Mayors and citizens have a great deal to learn from the experiences of other cities. Today, with many thanks to John Connolly, Melissa Nally, Travis West, and the Roosevelt Institute, the Berkman Center is putting out our new white paper about efforts in Washington, DC, San Francisco, and Seattle to explore competitive fiber. As you'll read, all three cities are still in the exploration/planning stage, and they have each learned different things along the way. This report adds to the growing pile of case studies in this area (here), including our own report about Leverett MA.

My, oh my, no time for sweet potato pie this Thanksgiving. We've got to rush out and catch the sales at Walmart and Sears by 8 p.m., Target by 9 p.m., then Kohl's and Best Buy at midnight.
And oh yes, thank you Kmart for that breather between 4 and 8 p.m., Thanksgiving Day, giving us just enough time to scarf down the turkey and dressing before full-throttling ahead on our shopping tour until 11 p.m. Friday.
The inevitable has happened: Black Friday has invaded Turkey Thursday.
During this Thanksgiving season, I trust you can find it in your heart to forgive me for writing about politics. But I have some unfinished business related to the most recent election.
It seems every election season, the newspaper fields calls about destruction, damage or theft of political signs. This year was no exception. The local Republican Party, in fact, offered a bounty for information leading to the arrest of a serial sign vandal.
I'm thinking about starting a non-profit organization for all the people who perform acts of kindness and don't want to be thanked for doing them.
Maybe I'll name it, "Grace-Givers Anonymous." I could set up a website where people like you could donate. Billboards promoting deliberate acts of kindness could be set up. Together we could run TV commercials for the cause.
For many communities, honoring veterans is a once a year activity. Not so here.
Credit the close association with Fort Knox, our general appreciation for God and country or the Kentucky work ethic that respects service above all. Whatever the reason, displaying respect for veterans is not a once a year Veterans Day experience in Hardin County.
This year between 30 and 40 million Americans will sell a used car. I'm one of them. I just parted with my old car.
I bought the 1996 T-Bird mainly out of desperation; Lori and I had grown weary of car-pooling in our one vehicle. She would need to go home when I had the car somewhere else; I had to have it when she was on an errand.
We felt like the frustrated cab driver who is supposed to take two passengers in different directions at the same time.
dvocates of big government never miss a chance to capitalize on a natural disaster. Even before the storm has passed, they will boast that without activist government, recovery would be impossible. Peddlers of this line ask us to imagine what life would be like today — in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy — without FEMA and the state and local emergency agencies. This, they say, is the condition to which opponents of big government would reduce the country.
But they lack imagination.
It began as a serene fall experience. Leaves crunching under foot on a cool afternoon as I walked along a country fence row with my infant grandson tucked against my side.
Suddenly as if from nowhere, a deer appears. It breaks into a dead run. The movement was surprising but not alarming until I realized it's charging me.
The deer's head crashes into my side waist high just below the ribs. As I bend with the blow, the child flies free of my grasp.
Americans once again will exercise one of their most important rights and responsibilities. Millions will cast votes to decide who will serve in elected offices at every national, state and local level.
Sadly, over the years fewer and fewer Americans have actively participated in this most American of duties. Many election outcomes are determined by far less than half the eligible voters.
With every flyer I placed on the doorknob, I felt a surge of energy. I was actually making a difference and for an 11-year-old kid, that's a big deal.
Some stereotypes are grossly unfair and not very flattering. That said, when the shoe fits, wear it, and as an Italian American, I fit the stereotype of being emotional (I know) and passionate (I think). Cest la vie.
But I realized today that in that gamut of emotions there is one I regret.
I wish I hadn't wasted so much emotional energy when I was younger in being angry.

From the wacky folks over at Vat 19, who I can always count on to provide just the right Weird-gotta-have-it gift for anyone. They bring you the cake pan that bakes a Sandwich Cookie Cake. They may not be able to say it, but I can; The cake will look just like an Oreo! How cute is that?
If you have been reading this blog for long, you know how nuts I am about kitchen gadgets. This one falls into the useful but quirky, category. It's useful (who doesn't love a good cake), and yet quirky(why make a cake if it is just going to resemble a cookie)?
Either way, I am putting this on my Christmas list. You're welcome!

Great find! Congrats. Kirk |
Tracy, Beautiful plant and nice shape to caudex. Wish I could stumble across on like that. I would even go for the fall if it ended up with me getting one of like that. Rick |
Very nice indeed! Adeniums are one plant I've never found at any nurseries or greenhouses in northern Minnesota or Wisconsin...only once at Home Depot maybe 15 years ago and at the time I was only interested in cacti so I didn't buy any. That one of yours looks to be in great health, too--happy birthday to you! |

Here's a before and after shot. I actually saw the plant Saturday but didn't buy it because it was full of aphids. That night I could hardly sleep thinking someone else would snatch it up. I came to my senses Sunday morning. |

Jen Aniston Rocks Sheer Dress at 'Just Go With It' Premiere (PHOTOS)
Jennifer Aniston showed off her flawless body in a see-through Dolce & Gabbana black dress at the premiere of Just Go With It on Tuesday, February 8.

Our culture is riddled with destructive myths about money and prosperity that are severely limiting the power, creativity, and financial potential of individuals. In Killing Sacred Cows, Garrett B. Gunderson boldly exposes ingrained fallacies and misguided traditions in the world of personal finance. He presents a revolutionary perspective that can create unprecedented opportunity and wealth for thoughtful, mission-driven individuals.
Our financial lives are intimately connected to our societal contributions, and we must be financially free in order to achieve our fullest potential. Sadly, however, most people are held captive in their financial lives by misinformation, propaganda, and limited knowledge. Through well-reasoned arguments, unflinching logic, and revelatory insight, Gunderson defeats common clichés and faulty retirement planning advice to plainly demonstrate the following and much more:
Killing Sacred Cows is a must-read for brave individuals willing to question common assumptions and teachings, overcome the herd mentality, break through financial myths, and live a purposeful, passionate, and prosperous life.

Cornbread pain perdu is a quintessential Tony Maws dish, reflecting his affinity for riding the razor's edge between refinement and hominess. These characteristics exist side-by-side comfortably at Maws' Craigie on Main, which he opened in 2002, and at his new Kirkland Tap and Trotter. Pain perdu means lost, or stale, bread. The bread is revived by soaking it in eggs and milk, then fried in butter. The version, shared with Wine Spectator here, uses a cakey cornbread for the foundation.

Titan Machinery $150 million convertible Bond (2019) closed the week at a NEW ALL TIME LOW @ $72.00 w 12.18% yield. Also last week Titan disclosed in their 10Q footnote section that Wells Fargo made a 5th amendment to the bond covenants. A bond with less than 5 years to maturity yielding over 12% is a high risk investment. The novice investors should realize that the common stock is RISKIER than the Bond, and the bond is extremely risky. The bond market tell is that this company is in risk of defaulting, high risk.....else why wouldn't smart money be bidding the bond higher? only reason common stock isn't at $2 is because the shares are controlled by a handful of mutual funds who are asleep at the wheel. The question is are the mutual funds going to dump it here for year end tax loss purposes.....will they hold it so they don't show losses.......or are they just have no buyers for their shares above $5 so they just simply hold it and ride it out....... It looks like Titan longs will be okay until the company files bankruptcy...not sure how soon, but that is a big risk to common shareholders and bond holders. TO the longs who think this company has cash of $100 million, they have over $1 billion in debt also and negative cash flow for 5 consecutive years. They can no longer do an underwriting because of high debt levels. They have no options left. If they paid some of their bills/debt they would be depleted of ALL Cash and still still have $1 billion worth of debt on their books. I guess once stock gets delisted or goes to pink sheet the company would get a new ticker w like TITNQ or TITNPK or something....then this message board will go away too A bigger risk for management is the related party transactions. The board members are pretty much all related and they have a $100million agreement that they made between the company and an outside entity they have an equity interest in..(really smells)..plus over $20 million construction fees to another relative
Sentiment: Strong Sell
There is really no upside to titan machinery. the company closed 8 locations this year and are carrying over $1 billion in debt. Titan machinery does not make anything. Titan is a retailer of equipment and machinery where they compete directly against the manufacturers Caterpillar, Deere, CNHI, etc. Titan just doesn't not have a good business model. the company would not be in business today had they not raised equity in an underwriting and debt in a second underwriting. With shares being held up here at $13 is what's wrong with the stock market. A company that is practically bankrupt that can trade at over a $200 million market cap because all the shares are being held tightly by mutual funds.
TST: Risk/Reward
Sentiment: Strong Buy
sorry" timetireviewthisone", i made a typo. it should have been "find' not 'Fine'. good catch. i also noticed others typos. i wrote "right offs" instead of "write offs".....if you see other typos let me know. thanks again.

SUWI / UNESCO Open-Source Wastewater Treatment Short Course
September 19, 2014 in News by nrlouw
Recently the Stellenbosch University Water Institute (SUWI) hosted a 5 day (8 – 12 September) short course, sponsored by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), aimed at educating and training individuals in the wastewater treatment sector on open source wastewater treatment modelling.
The WRc, a UK based water resources company, provided their open-source STOAT modeling and two trainers for the course, which was attended by 15 participants ranging from municipal wastewater treatment plant process controllers and those from other Water Service Providers (WSP) such as Randawater and ERWAT, as well as a large contingent of wastewater treatment educators from Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges from across the country.
The short course itself was split into the following eight parts:
- Principles of Wastewater Treatment
- Activated Sludge Process
- Wastewater Characterisation
- Modelling
- Introduction to STOAT
- Activated Sludge Modeling
- Trickling Filters
- Modeling your own Sewage Works
At the end of the course participants were asked to use real data from their own wastewater treatment works, run it through the modeling process and give a short presentation on the results. All participants were awarded with certificates of attendance at the culmination of the course and feedback from both the trainers and the attendees suggested a short course successful in increasing the knowledge base of South Africa's current wastewater treatment practitioners as well as those who are teaching future practitioners.

Dolphins sign Will Allen, cut Benny Sapp
DAVIE, Fla. -- Without Will Allen, the Miami Dolphins' pass defense was dismal, so they re-signed him Wednesday.
The veteran cornerback rejoined the Dolphins after they gave up a franchise-worst 517 yards passing by New England's Tom Brady in the season opener Monday.
Allen was back on the practice field 11 days after being cut at the end of training camp.
"This is a business," he said. "You've got to understand. You can't take anything personal. You take the punch, and you keep rolling. Bitterness doesn't get me anywhere, so here I am."
Allen replaces nickel back Benny Sapp, whose contract was terminated Tuesday after the Patriots' Wes Welker burned him on a 99-yard touchdown pass.
A 38-24 loss to New England prompted the Dolphins to bring back Allen. He was slowed by a hamstring injury at the end of training camp, which contributed to the decision at the time to keep Sapp instead, coach Tony Sparano said.
"One guy was healthy. The other guy really wasn't," Sparano said. "Allen's better right now."
Allen started 53 games for Miami from 2006 to 2009, then missed last season with a knee injury. Teammates in the secondary said they were glad to have him back.
"It's huge," safety Yeremiah Bell said. "He's a veteran guy who knows the game. He's a leader back there."
Besides playing in the nickel package, Allen will back up starting cornerbacks Sean Smith and Vontae Davis. At 33, he's eager to show he's not ready for retirement.
"You've always got something to prove," Allen said. "Always. I've felt like that since I set foot in this league, probably since I came out of the womb."

A MATCH-winning nine goal performance by Tim McGregor has almost guaranteed Penshurst a spot in the 2014 Mininera final's series.
McGregor, with half the team's goals, helped steer the Bombers to an upset 34 point win against arch-rival Hawkesdale Macarthur.
Sitting in fourth position, the Bombers now look likely to only need two wins from their final three rounds to play finals.

Victoria's Secret Runway Show Afterparty Pictures
Miranda, Adriana, and the Angels Keep VS Celebration Going at the Afterparty
Last night's 2011 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show was an amazing spectacle starring everyone from Kanye and Jay-Z to Maroon 5, but the action didn't stop when the final Angel hit the runway — then it was off to the afterparty! Miranda Kerr swapped her $2.5 million Fantasy Treasure bra for a hot white dress to hit the red carpet at Dream Downtown, and while she didn't have Orlando Bloom by her side for the bash, he was front and center cheering her when she hit the catwalk. It was Miranda's first Victoria's Secret runway since giving birth, and she looked amazing with a huge smile on her face in all her elaborate looks.
Fellow VS Angel Adriana Lima showed off her sexy back in a short blue number while Adam Levine reunited with his supermodel squeeze Anna V. to pose for pictures. Adam took the stage with Maroon 5 during the show and he and Anna snuck in a quick kiss during his performance of "Moves Like Jagger." There's lots more to come from Victoria's Secret's huge night in NYC, so check out PopSugar Rush and watch it air Nov. 29 on CBS.

C. Stuart Carr, Jr., Oral History Interview (#OH0062), East Carolina Manuscript Collection, J. Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University, Greenville, North Carolina, USA.
Processed by L. Harris; M. Boccaccio, October 1991
Encoded by Apex Data Services
Carr was born in Greenville, N.C., in 1910 and raised in Norfolk, Va. He returned to Greenville at the beginning of the Depression and worked at the Greenville Fertilizer Company selling fertilizer at retail prices to farmers and loaning them cash. He then worked with the E. B. Ficklen Tobacco Company in Greenville (1938-1950) with responsibility for the Carolina Leaf Tobacco Company, a joint operation of Ficklen Tobacco Company and the G. R. Garrett Company of Rocky Mount, N.C. Carolina Leaf sold American tobacco to Chinese manufacturers. In 1950, Carr went to E. V. Webb and Co. in Kinston, N.C., staying with them until he left in 1956 to work for Universal Leaf Tobacco Co. in Richmond, VA. Carr remained with Universal until he retired in 1975. He died in Richmond, VA, on December 6, 1997.
Carr first discusses the effect of the Depression on tobacco farmers in Eastern North Carolina, who had experienced a pre-Depression era of high tobacco sale prices. He mentions the way in which farm families helped each other by sharing chores and talks about the Hoover cart, used by families to come into town in the early Depression years (pp. 1-4).
Right after joining Ficklen Tobacco Co., Carr spent six months in Shanghai, China, becoming familiar with Carolina Leaf Tobacco Co. He describes the competition between the companies selling to the Chinese manufacturing companies and the turmoil in China in 1938 with a strong Japanese presence. While all the manufacturing took place inside the International Settlement, the American companies had storage buildings outside the settlement which the Japanese did not interfere with (pp. 5-6). Carr notes that employees of the British-American Tobacco Company were sent to plants up country and describes some of their living conditions (pp. 7-8). For much of the remainder of the interview, Carr details life in China for company employees and their families (p. 9), and discusses at length the business of American companies selling tobacco in China. He talks about the difficulty of small companies entering the international market (p. 10); the use of filler tobacco and stems by the Chinese manufacturers (p. 11); the cigarette as a status symbol with the Chinese picking up butts from the street to use the remaining tobacco for "coolie" cigarettes (p. 12); the importance of "face" (pp. 22-23); and the difficulty of getting foreign exchange with companies in Japanese-held Manchuria (called Manchukuo by the Japanese) (pp. 13-14). Carr describes the Shanghai nightlife, the use of contaminated whiskey, gambling, the prices of clothes, and the exchange with the tael and the "mex" dollar (pp. 15-17, 23).
Carr notes the increasing presence of the Japanese in 1941 and that B.A.T. employees left in China after the attack on Pearl Harbor were detained in concentration camps before being exchanged for Japanese prisoners (pp. 18-19). He left China in 1941 shortly before Pearl Harbor was bombed. He also mentions how Universal lost all their assets with the takeover of the Communists after World War II. From a period of a high volume market, the war signaled a substantially reduced market with no foreign exchange for tobacco (pp. 19-20).
On a more contemporary note, Mr. Carr discusses the Thai people, their position in the tobacco market, and the switching of tobacco after it is sold (pp. 24-25). He also mentions an arrangement to have American cigarettes made in China for tourists by Reynolds and Phillip Morris (ca. 1980) and the monopoly these manufacturers will have. Carr notes that China grows so much tobacco that it is an exporter, a fact which helps them in their foreign exchange (pp. 26-27).
Two short papers by Carr are included. The "Thailand Travel Account" (1964) concerns the Chiengmai section of Thailand where Virginia flue-cured tobacco is grown. The curing, sorting, and grading of tobacco are discussed.
A similar paper on "Tobacco Activities in China" fills in some of the descriptions of Shanghai in the 1930s especially of the International Settlement, notes the rampant inflation of the 1940s, and describes how the American tobacco companies in China were administered. It alsomentions the use of the chop, a stamp used for official transactions (p. 3), and goes into more detail about "coolie" cigarettes and the prestige cigarettes that gave people "face" (pp. 4-5).
In addition there are two papers consisting of 9 pages. The titles of these two papers are: "Account of Tobacco Activities in China" and "Thailand Travel Account."

editors' note: The second page of this review contains spoilers.
While giving me a tour of his Los Angeles studio, a special-effects buff once told me that Michael Bay, that jejune doyen of brutish disaster flicks, has a tendency to respond to all problems "by commissioning bigger explosions." This is not a trap into which Life of Pi's director, Ang Lee, is ever likely to fall.
Lee is far from a one-trick pony. His past work includes Emma Thompson's adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, the gay-cowboy drama Brokeback Mountain, and the smash-hit action movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; and for his latest movie, Life of Pi, he has drawn on the variety of this experience. The result is an aesthetically coruscating yet story-focused action movie that never becomes gratuitous, never reaches stupidly for a quick win, and — most important — never breaks its own internal logic.
To its great credit, Life of Pi is everything that Avatar was not, and, in being so, it adroitly demonstrates that it is possible to produce a visually dazzling film without having to dispense with storytelling. That Pi manages to do this in 3D — which usually I loathe as a gimmick but which here is used judiciously — is further testament to Lee's achievement. All told, I can count 20 or 30 films that have tried defectively to tread this path. It is a pleasure finally to find one that succeeds.
"Our electric lights," Kipling wrote of a chemist's shop,
set down low in the windows before the tun-bellied Rosamond jars, flung inward three monstrous daubs of red, blue, and green, that broke into kaleidoscopic lights on the faceted knobs of the drug-drawers, the cut-glass scent flagons, and the bulbs of the sparklet bottles.
Like Martel, Lee has inherited this faculty for turning the quotidian into the thaumaturgic. Everything sparkles; everything's striking; everything is just slightly off kilter — always the most potent way to create unease. For once, the relationship between the special effects and the story sits the right way about: Pi's team plainly started with a desire to turn Martel's tale into a movie, and only then turned to the question of how to make that happen. "I'm dramatically trained, not visually trained," Lee told the New York Times. The question, then: "How can we put a boy and a tiger on a stranded boat for an extended period of time?" The answer: "Special effects." Alas, all too often the obverse is true; the question being, "How can we make a film that is full of impressive special effects?" and the answer, "Find a lousy story." Evidently, Life of Pi would have been impossible to make even ten years ago. Now, technology allows a film in which "the world is awake, and the clouds are aglow." Of Avatar one might claim the same thing, but in Life of Pi there is an engaging world to wake up and there are dashing clouds to illuminate — and this makes all the difference.
The film's cast is small and — heretofore, at least — largely undistinguished. Lee deliberately hired mostly unknown actors in order to avoid importing well-known faces into Martel's foreign universe — Tobey Maguire was fired at the last minute in order to maintain this disjunction. This serves the movie well. For all its effects, it is heavily reliant on its human performances, particularly that of star Suraj Sharma, who has quite literally never appeared in anything — anything! — before. In his title role, Sharma is utterly believable, which is important given that for most of the movie he's the only person on screen. Way to make an entrance into Hollywood, Suraj, although what to do next will be tricky . . .
So small is the cast that the second-most-important member doesn't actually exist at all. Richard Parker, the fully grown Bengal tiger with which Pi ends up stranded in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean — the Shere Khan to Pi's Mowgli, one might say — is almost entirely rendered in CGI. I know this because I have read it stated in an interview, not because it is obvious — it is most certainly not. While the film's aesthetic has a touch of the cartoon about it, this does not extend to the various animals, which are flawlessly realistic. Do a quick Internet search for "Are the animals real in Life of Pi?" and you'll see what a stellar job the effects team has done.
