Single-payer advocates offer slate of taxes to pay for itBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | December 11,2012MONTPELIER A group that helped build the political will for single-payer health care in Vermont has issued a report telling elected officials how to pay for it.
The Health Care is a Human Right Campaign unveiled a 17-page proposal Monday in which it identifies a combination of income and payroll taxes as the most equitable means of financing the new system. More a conceptual framework than a solid proposal the report doesnt estimate overall system costs or calculate the dollar value of the new revenue streams the report says its blend of financing options would place the lions share of the financial burden on those best able to afford it.
And thats been one of the key principles from the beginning, said James Haslam, director of the Vermont Workers Center, which oversees the campaign. The Shumlin administration is doing all the work to figure out how much its going to cost, and were essentially saying this is the most equitable way to come up with the money.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said he was impressed with what he called a very well-written report. It will be a helpful document as the dialogue on how to pay for single-payer takes place in the coming months and years, Spaulding said.
As to the specific proposal, which would use a mix of corporate and personal income taxes, combined with a progressive payroll tax, Spaulding said, In general they make a strong case.
There is no question that the income tax is, in a sense, the most fair way to raise money, Spaulding said. And I think you also have to balance that with some other things so that we dont overwhelm any particular revenue source. So a balancing test is also going to be required.
Act 48, the single-payer law that charts the states course toward a publicly financed, universal system of care, calls on the Shumlin administration to propose a means of funding the plan by Jan. 15. Shumlin, however, has said that the timing was probably a mistake.
I pushed for that language because I wanted to get it done by 2015, Shumlin said during an appearance on The Mark Johnson Show on Oct. 31. In fairness to legislative leadership, they said youre not going to be able to do it by then. And it was probably a mistake on my part to make it that specific.
Now that hes come to terms with the fact that Vermont wont obtain the federal waivers it needs to proceed with single-payer until 2017, he said his administration wont recommend a financing plan until 2015 at the earliest.
As for Act 48, the 2010 law that requires the administration to deliver to lawmakers a financing plan next month, Shumlin said, We will comply with the law.
But we will not be ready for prime time, Shumlin told Johnson.
Spaulding said Monday that he doesnt expect the Legislature to spend much time debating the merits of specific financing options next year.
But John Franco, a Burlington lawyer who worked as a paid consultant for the Shumlin administrations health care team in 2010, said he thinks the legislative debate should begin in earnest in January. Franco is a longtime health care policy analyst but doesnt currently have an official role with those working on the issue.
We need to start having this discussion now, Franco said. Theres this desire to kick the can down the road for another biennium and not even have a discussion about what were doing. Thats not good policy, and its not fair to the people of Vermont.
Franco said the proposal from the Health Care is a Human Right Campaign would result in a catastrophic dislocation of the economy. He said a successful public financing plan would need to come up with the $1.7 billion that employers and individuals currently pay for private health insurance (that figure will rise as health care costs inflate between now and 2017).
In 2010, Franco said, Vermonts income tax raised just shy of $500 million.
So think about what youre going to have to do to income taxes to get anywhere close to that $1.7 billion figure, Franco said Monday.
Not only is the plan not remotely viable politically, Franco said, but it takes a financial burden currently shouldered by employers and places it on the backs of working Vermonters.
Haslam said the progressive payroll tax to be assessed only on employers and not workers would take some pressure off the income tax. He said the plan envisions ways to tweak the tax code on corporate income so as to capture more money from large companies.
The plan also aims to tax not just income but wealth i.e., the dollar value of personal assets and would raise about $31 million annually by ending favorable tax treatment for investment income. The Health Care is a Human Right Campaign also rejects the use of any user fees, like copays, deductibles or premiums, to help pay for the system.
The Shumlin administration inked a $300,000 contract with the University of Massachusetts Medical School this summer to help devise a series of financing options. The administration will present a report to lawmakers Jan. 15.

Would anybody have any recipes I could do in a 3 gallon size or happen to know any good recipe books for this type of brewing?
Primary: Honey Kolsch Take 2 Kegged: Alt Kegged: meBohPils Bottled: Belgian Gold
Would a recipe have to change whether it is made with a mashtun or the BIAB style that i'm going to do?
no. you can still use whichever method you would otherwise. With scaling recipes you just reduce/increase the amount of ingredients to the batch size. so from 5 gal to 1 gal you would 1/5 of everything with the same ratios of each ingredient.
Thanks sooo much you guys are really a great bunch of people. I might just head up to my local brew store tonight. I've never really seen to much all grain equipment around but i know they've got some hop pellets so maybe they'll have some grains in the back room or something. Thinking bout making a good ole Brown Ale
I bought my pot here:http://www.foodservicewarehouse.com/...-32/p4854.aspx It appears they do ship internationally. And the pot is nice, heavy, thick, and durable. Make sure to pick up a lid, too, should you want one. If you want a different size than the 32-quart, just look under aluminum stock pots. Lots of choices for decent prices. If you go aluminum, make sure to put a layer of oxide on the pot by just boiling some water in it for a little bit. It'll get a little darker below the water line. That oxide layer helps protect the pot from acids.
Actually if you look at their shipping page it clearly states "We do not ship outside of the United States at this time.È
Bummer... hope you find a good pot, OP! I'm sure there's a place that will ship to your location.
One thing you could consider: I began my all grain adventure doing BIAB with two relatively cheap bayou classic aluminum 5 gallon pots, which worked great. I could do two mashes if i wanted to do a really strong beer, or just use one pot to mash in and the other for sparging. When I felt like it was time to go beyond BIAB, I simply modified one of my 5 gallon pots to turn it into a nice mash tun. I bought the weldless brewmometer, a weldless spigot, a bazooka screen, and drilled a couple holes, and presto! I even slightly increased the size of the steam hole on the lid so that I can stick my long probed thermometer into the mash to get another temperature reading from a different spot. It's a pretty sweet mash tun. I then just bought a used 7.5 gallon pot to do my full boil in. Just think about how you may want to upgrade your setup in the future and see if you can buy something that can be upgraded.

standards of care (CSC) and ensure both an implementation plan and incorporation into the culture of the health spectrum.
Additional discussion about public health roles and responsibilities in planning for and implementing CSC is available in the Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) 2012 report Crisis Standards of Care: A Systems Framework for Catastrophic Disaster Response. This report also includes planning and implementation templates that outline core functions and tasks.
Suggested participants for a discussion focused on public health are listed below. Building on the scenarios and overarching key questions presented in Chapter 3, this tool contains additional questions to help participants drill down on the key issues and details for public health. It also contains two charts (one for slow-onset and one for no-notice) that provide example public health indicators, triggers, and tactics, and a blank chart for participants to complete. The scenarios, questions, and example chart are intended to provoke discussion that will help participants fill in the blank chart for their own situation.1 Participants may choose to complete a single, general blank chart, or one each for various scenarios from their Hazard Vulnerability Analysis.
The questions below and associated table of sample indicators and triggers are broken out by the two scenarios because the role of public health will vary significantly based on the incident. Nearly all incidents or planned events will need public health and medical assistance and possible response. The first scenario demonstrates a slow-onset incident in which local and state public health would monitor the activity of influenza worldwide. This would provide an opportunity for planning and anticipating response activities. The second scenario demonstrates the issues associated with a no-notice event and describes potential points of consideration to respond and support response activities. In this scenario, there will be an immediate role of medical response, supported by public health, and intermediate- and long-term responsibilities for local and state public health offices.
Discussion Participants
From a public health perspective, any agency or organization that will be impacted in their service delivery by public health decisions should be discussion participants at some point in the deliberation process.2
Public health impacts all sectors and thus the need for integrated planning and long-term follow-up should be a key component in planning for and implementing CSC and will have a critical supporting role throughout an incident.
Local public health discussions should include their agency emergency management/preparedness coordinator, health officer, and medical director at a minimum. Agency subject matter experts (SMEs) should be engaged based on incident type, with consideration of potential clinical services impacted: communi-
1 The blank table for participants to complete can be downloaded from the project's website: www.iom.edu/crisisstandards.
2 As discussed above, the structure and organization of public health and health varies across states and localities. The discussion participants listed here are provided as a suggestion; discussion organizers should develop a participant list that would be appropriate for the structures and organization of the particular jurisdiction.

The story behind this record is quite strange. In 1982, Don Dokken traveled to Germany to record some backing vocals on The Scorpions' "Blackout". While there, he made some contact with the people from Accept, a relation which lasted until the recording of Don Dokken's solo album reviewed below. This helped him to secure a deal with Carrere Records, the label that released "Breaking the Chains" in Europe, but it's not until Cliff Burnstein and Q Prime Inc. (also Metallica's management company) start managing the band when Dokken releases his debut album in the States. More or less that's the reason why "Breaking the Chains" was recorded at Dierks Studios in Germany with their long time partner (as producer, mixer, or whatever) and sound wizard, Michael Wagener.
We all know that Dokken was one of the best and most successful "hair metal" bands of all the '80s (although this term does not do justice to them, so I would leave it in hard/heavy metal) and this album shows all the potential that they had in a maybe more innocent, but also very charming way. In fact, that places them much closer to most of the emerging heavy metal bands of the early '80s as the powerful and fast side that, however, they never totally lost in their career (maybe only in "Under Lock and Key"), and is more present than ever in songs such as "Nightrider" "Paris is Burning", and "Live to Rock (Rock to Live)". On the other side, songs such as "Breaking the Chains" or "I Can't See You" also show the immense potential of the band to create chart-breaking singles.
All these elements are evidence of Dokken's special ability to create a perfect blend of melodic hard rock without losing their heavy metal edge, something that always earned them the respect of many metal fans instead of being despised like many others from the "hair metal" scene. If you add to this formula George Lynch's fantastic and flashy guitar work, you get one of the best expressions of pure '80s hard/metal to be found out there. A great album to start a great career, so check it out!
Originally written for Ample Destruction 'zine.
Dokken's debut in 1983 is sounds a bit young and ideas just not fully developed properly. While rough around the edges, some of the songs on here are accessible and very good and provide a short glimpse of what George Lynch can do with a guitar. This debut is far from great, but they would only continue to get better from here.
Most of the tracks on here are short, simple three minute mostly mid to up-tempo rockers. There is not much variety found on here and it can grow quite dull. The sound is pretty raw and definitly sounds like something from the 80's. The only aspect that is off is the vocals sound louder than any of the instruments.
The album opens up with the title track "Breaking the Chains" featuring a snobbish guitar riff from Lynch, but it is a simple song and not really all that good. Unfortunately, a good portion of this album just has too much simplicity. A guitar riff starts, then the vocals pop in, the chorus comes and goes, another verse starts followed by the chorus, a solo comes in, and then the final chorus. Stating the obvious, it grows boring after awhile.
Not everything is bad though. "Nightrider" has a great opening guitar riff and George Lynch shines on this track with quick bursts of notes and is one of the highlights of this record. Another is "Seven Thunders" which sounds like a power metal song with a dramatic chorus and an ominous tone and feel in the song which is surprising considering it is Dokken and all. The final track "Paris is Burning" is awesome with some lighting fast guitar work and instrumentation from Lynch and the pounding drums make this one a classic.
While the musical aspect of this record is varied, the vocals from Don Dokken are just about average. The man just sounds young and his voice is too high in some places. While he does a good job during the verses, the choruses are not very good. Hearing him screech out "Nightrider" and "Young girls" is downright uncomforting to hear and not enjoyable.
Most of this album sounds like something RATT could have written. That's a bit ironic since Juan Croucier, who plays bass on this album, joined RATT after this album came out. I like RATT and all, but Dokken is better with more musicianship and less simplicity in their songs. This isn't a bad debut, as it has its moments, but it could have been much better.
Dokken were one of the more underrated bands to come out of the hair metal scene. They were certainly more heavy than half of the bands, and just like Twisted Sister and early Motley Crue, they had riffs that would totally kill. That, and George Lynch has to be one of the greatest guiatrists ever. His solos are simply amazing to say the least. It's just too bad that this band never gets the credit that they deserve.
This leads to their debut album, Breaking The Chains. It's a rather interesting album. It's one of the first albums to come out when glam started to become mainstream, and compared to most of the bands at the time, especially Def Leppard, they were certainly fucking heavy as shit. This album is a good start for the band, but it doesn't compare to the stuff they would do on their later albums. The main reason being that Don Dokken's voice isn't as interesting sounding as it later be. Just like Ratt's singer, Don just sounds like he's just there, and nothing more. That, and the production isn't that great either, but it's decent for a 1983 album.
However, there still are some killer songs on here. My favorite songs on here would have to be Breaking The Chains, Seven Thunders, Nightriders, and Paris Is Burning. The formal two have some nice riffs, and are pretty catchy, and nice to sing along to. Then, the latter two tottaly kick your ass with some killer speed metal riffs. The drumming is pretty sweet too. They show that even though their a glam band, they still have balls, and they're not afraid to use them. Live To Rock is also a pretty nice spped metal song that has sort of a Judas Priest sound to it. However, there are two weak tracks on here. In The Middle is pretty lame, and Felony is decent, but lags a little, because of the production. Eh, at least it's catchy.
On thier debut, Dokken show that they can rock hard while making some nice catchy tunes. It's not as good as Tooth & Nail or Under Lock and Key, but it's still solid. Get this album, but get the two above mentioned albums first.
This is Dokken's first major release and probably one of the most heavily criticized as being sub-par in terms of it's entirety. In comparison to their subsequent releases, there is some truth to this as some of the songs here are forgettable, but I disagree with the assertion made by Power Metal Guardian that there are only 2 great Dokken songs on here.
As a whole, the production on this album is quite rough, though not bad considering that it was done in 1983. The lead guitar tracks are loud enough not to be buried by the drums, which are a tiny bit overpowering at times. Don Dokken's vocals are controlled fairly well, as is the bass, although the rhythm guitar tracks do sometimes get buried.
The two strongest tracks on here obviously bear the most resemblance to the hit of late releases. "Paris is Burning", which is recorded live in Berlin, kicks off with an amazing guitar solo that rivals Van Halen's Eruption. The song itself has the speed of "Tooth and Nail", but the melodic quality has the idiomatic character of "Under Lock and Key". "Breaking the Chains" is a classic mid-tempo anthem loaded with memorable riffs, and compared the most with other classics such as "In my Dreams" and "Into the Fire".
We have a good number of up-tempo tracks on here that almost sound like they could be speed metal. "Live to Rock" and "Nightrider" feature some impressive double bass work by Mick Brown, and some insane leads by shred doctor George Lynch. The latter also has a great main riff that actually compares a bit with Queensryche, who ironically had a song by the same title on their EP debut. "Seven Thunders" is a bit slower in tempo, but the guitar riffs cook so well that it might as well be another fast one.
We have a strong collection of slower songs on here also that deserve mention. "Young Girls" is a bit similar to "It's not love", a good set of solid power chord guitar parts, although the lyrics are a bit fluffy. "Stick to your guns" is a bit like a Twisted Sister anthem of angst, although the guitar work on here is a hell of a lot more impressive on here, though Don Dokken's voice is a bit too clean for this style of song. "Felony" is the song that eventually would create a whole monstrous mess of older men singing about going after under-aged women. Winger actually comes to mind, although Winger would not write any driving rockers like this.
Unfortunately we have 2 rather weak links on this album that I can't really categorize as anything other than pure fluff. For those of you that already own "Tooth and Nail", the song to compare these to is the rather silly titled "Heartless Heart". "In the Middle" has a rather interesting main intro riff, but it suffers greatly due to fluffy lyrics and a lack of punch in the production. If this song were better produced and if Don Dokken's voice had more gusto to it, this would be "The Hunter" off Under Lock and Key. "I Can't See You" is a more happy sounding anthem, despite the lyrics being about a break-up. Unfortunately this doesn't shack up to more powerful anthems such as "Prisoner" and "Just Got Lucky" due to a lack of strong leads to complement the instrumental sections.
In conclusion, this is definitely worth getting, as there are plenty of songs here worth your time besides the two that also appear on their 1999 Greatest Hits compilation. This band would slow it down at bit after this, but the production would get much stronger, and the songs would become more polished. This album is highly recommended to fans of traditional 80s metal fans, particularly fans of Motley Crue and others on the LA scene. If you own and like "Tooth and Nail" or "Under Lock and Key", this album will not disappoint.
Breaking the Chains, the first Dokken full-length, became and instant hit and launched the band to super stardom. But why? This album isn't even that great, and this is why. Dokken is known by most people as a cock rock band. People who really know Dokken, know them for their extreme heavy, yet glam, edge. Insane solos and a formula to real out instant hits. But looking at this album I can only instantly pick out two solid Dokken hits: Breaking the Chains and Paris is Burning (strangely the first and last songs of the album).
This album has only two good songs. There are a couple of other good songs which I will point out, but the rest of the album is pretty much worthless, and probably not even considered glam rock!!! Opening with Breaking the Chains is an excellent choice; awesome guitar parts and wonderful solo. A classic Dokken song nonetheless. In the Melody and Felony, the next two songs, are two good songs. What makes these songs cool is the heaviness of the riffs. Something Dokken capitalizes in. Donny's voice on the first three songs show us the powerhouse of this amazing vocalist. Dokken can hit the high notes just as easy as the low ones. The next three songs are not bad, but not worth much. Meaning there are no memorable parts, and the riffs are pretty much mediocre. Also you might notice that the sound isn't as heavy as before. It's almost carries a pop sound; and that's scary when thinking this is Dokken.
It just gets worse after that, Seven Thunders is to soft. Young Girls is a decent song, but the riffs again are mediocre for Dokken's style. Stick to Your Guns takes this "pop" idea and twists it to hell. The worse Dokken song? Yeah probably! The song is groovy; I want to snap my finger to the beat instead of banging my head. But then I guess things get better with Paris is Burning. The intro solo shows Dokken's true form, and that of guitarist George Lynch. Pinch harmonics lace the intro, something Lynch is most noted for. When the song continues in normal fashion the drum beat lights up the song, making it a catchy, enjoyable song.
For the most part the music is mediocre and not up to Dokken par, but its not terrible, or the worse thing ever recorded. In essence, is this album good? No, not really considering it is a Dokken album. Is it worth getting? Yes! You could simply get Breaking the Chains and Paris is Burning on a best of album. But missing the first three songs (the last two aren't hits) together is like missing a big part of Dokken history. Not the best album to start off with, but definitely a future must for Dokken fans.

A little pricey for a drugstore lippy but its the first shade I've come across that is really MLBB on my skin. I haven't found anything else that works as well. I'm an NC 42 in MAC, a Warm Nautral 4.5 in Bobbi and a Desert Sand in Graftobian. My lips are quite pigmented so they are darker than my skin and no other shade I've tried has worked on me so far.
This is the best by far. The only thing is that its not as long lasting - and can easily disappear. So I'd try layering it with another Revlon matte shade to help it along. Unless I find something better, this would definitely get re-purchased.

Shoot me but, I thought this would be more "pink" in color. I love this for the fall/winter time. I am a fan of nude lipsticks with a hint/undertone of pink, which pink truffle is, in my opinion. This is a great everyday color for the office, very appropriate in color, adds sheen and moisture to your lips. my lips are naturally really red, so pink truffle looks more brown on my lips then it would for some other ppl. If you have discoloration on your lips, just do what i do, which is dab some concealer onto your lips to create a blank canvas. a creamy concealer is better so it doesn't dry your lips out.

This lip butter indeed gives a very smooth and comforting feeling when you first glide it upon your lips. It even has a delightfully delicious hint of flavor on it. The shade is absolutely great and I can use it on top of my other lipsticks when I either need to tone strong colors down or add some vamp to some paler shades. The only problem I have with this product is that it tends to dry my lips A LOT to the point of cracking and chapping just a few hours after application. And yes, I've even tried using a lip balm under it but then the results are just the same - great start, disappointing end. I recommend you don't use this one on its own or at least get a powerful moisturizing lip care/balm if you plan to use this for the long run. It's a love/hate relationship for me when it comes to this one.

Today I purchased my 1st Revlon's lip butter in Pink Truffle along with Loreal's Le Balm Tender Mauve. Revlon's lip butter feels a bit more sticky & pigmented, but not overdone & has better staying power in comparison to Loreal's Tender Mauve. Although it is a nice sheen color on my tan skin, it feels too much like a slippery layer of thin gloss that you could get from a jelly balm. The glossy shine stays but the color fades quickly. . *Finally, I like the Revlon lip butter much better for texture, pigmentation & staying power.

Bought this on a whim and so glad it's mine!! The color is a tawny pink matte which suits my light-medium skin perfectly. This is a great everyday lipstick that should be in everyone's beauty arsenal. It feels soft like a balm with a satiny lipstick finish--the most striking MLBB shade I've found and a total HG, I hope Revlon never discontinues their lip butters cuz I'm addicted to them :)

This is a very subtle MLBB, pink-brown shade (but heavier on the pink than on the brown). As in, it's almost the EXACT same color as my lips, and sheer enough that a birthmark on my lip still shows through until I've given it a few good swipes. I find it to be a nice, subtle, neutral shade for when I want to look nice, but not really dressed-up. It's also a good safe bet for when I don't know what colors will work with a particular outfit - it's so subtle, it goes with everything!
In fact, the subtlety was at first a turn-off for me. I thought it didn't do enough to brighten up my face (I'm normally a red lipstick kinda gal), but I've actually gotten more unsolicited compliments out of Pink Truffle than anything else in my makeup bag! Turns out that it does have a noticeable, if soft, brightening effect, especiallly in sunlight.
Its one flaw is that it fades into pretty much nothing after a few hours, and thus requires a lot of reapplication - its sister, Red Velvet, doesn't last much longer, but it fades into a GORGEOUS red stain (which I like to leave, instead of freshening up, as it looks much more natural and understated), while Pink Truffle basically disappears. Which I guess is expected, given how close it is to my natural lip color even when fresh.

HG. As in HG lip product. Ultimate MLBB. This is perfect for school/work and all other everyday occasions when you want to look put together but not too made up. With this I don't need multiple products for my lips like a balm then lipstick and/or gloss. I'll layer a little on if I want more attention on my lips. I don't worry about if my lips will look too matte or too glossy; they look natural and supple. If I ever can't decide what lip color goes with my look: hi, Pink Truffle. I actually know this is versatile and love this so much sometimes I get scared to use it because I don't want it to run out and then I get sad at the thought...

I bought this after reading the reviews and I'm glad I did. It goes on sheer and moisturizing and the color on me is a pinky brown, more brown than pink. I'm looking forward to getting more colors. Also, I can touch up without using a mirror and that's a first for me.

I have finally jumped on the bandwagon and bought this. The color is very pretty on my pigmented lips; a "my lips but better " shade. Application is smooth and it goes on sheer with color that you can build upon. I really like the packaging too. The only thing I dislike is that it doesn't have good lasting power. I think I had less than twenty minutes of wear so I would definitely have to keep a tube of this around to reapply constantly and my tube will be used up quickly . Luckily I bought this on sale. Not sure if I would buy again, but the color is lovely.

North Carolina wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of North Carolina. Wine has been produced in the area since the early days of European colonization in the 17th century. Wine growers in North Carolina were the first to cultivate a native American grape variety, the Scuppernong, which produces a sweet wine, examples of which are still being made in the state. Most wine produced in North Carolina since the year 2000 is made from Vitis vinifera grape varieties, although French hybrid and Vitis labrusca varieties remain common.
Wine industry[edit]
North Carolina ranks tenth in both grape and wine production in the United States. The state's wine industry continues to expand, and today is one of the United States' five most visited state destinations for wine and culinary tourism.[2] In 2007, North Carolina contained 55 wineries and 350 vineyards.[3] By 2011, this had grown to more than 100 wineries and more than 400 vineyards.[4]

Hello folks, I hope someone here can answer this for me. I tried the search feature first but couldn't find an answer. I realize the tremendous potential for puns and double entrandas with this question, but I'm serious!
I have a 1999 Taco TRD SR5 w/ the 5VZ-FE engine (3400). I had my dipstick replaced by/at Jiffy Lube after they busted the handle and I was hoping someone could verify the proper length of the dipstick for this engine? Mine is 1'5" long from tip to the top of the black gasket.
I'm curious because I just changed my oil myself for the first time on this truck (new house w/gargae = place to work, finally) and after filling it 5.5 qts, (including the filter pre-oil) the oil level just barely registered at the bottom of the stick.
I have heard of issues with other car enthusists (I autocross Miatas) where a dealer supplied an improperly short dipstick resulting in the subsequent overfilling and damage to seals etc. (In that case they gave a 1.6 dipstick for a 1.8 engine.) I'm wondering if Jiffy Lube got the wrong length or is the owners manual just that far off? The oil was from new containers so I'm sure I have an accurate measurement.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

In short, I'm not particularly keen, but let me expand, as I don't mind this to be mindless QQ. The crux of my argument revolves around Twisted Treeline. Twisted Treeline is the short, fast paced tanky dps map. Maybe not as fast paced as what Dominion will be, but nevertheless, I believe this feeling will be captured in a similar way. Now, I really hate Twisted Treeline because of these points. I focus my game around strong lane dominance, yet I, and I imagine many others, feel that most of the truely good and interesting play comes in late game teamfights, which obviously won't occur on these two. Not only that, I don't want to play tanky dps. I hate playing them, I hate facing them, and the thought of 2 tanky dps very slowly killing each other camping on a control node doesn't get me too excited. I don't think it's inherently wrong that you've tried to make a new mode, in fact I take that back, it's worth applauding. However consider this. It is obvious Dominion is much more comparable to Twisted Treeline than Summoner's Rift. It is also obvious that Summoner's Rift is vastly the more popular map. So, why would you make one that's more like the less popular one? The best way I can think of phrasing it is this. Right now, the general reaction is a few people happy, most people 'meh', a few people very unhappy. Imagine the reaction you would have got if you had announced the imminent release of Magma Chamber. Seriously, don't be biased, imagine the genuine response. That is the point I wished to make. Your expanding the game making it stretch, thin and shallow rather than deeper. Build on what you have, then by all means think about expanding into new modes. Lastly, it is very clear Dominion is intended to be a fun, mess aroundy kind of mode. This obviously means if you want to play competitively, or play at any kind of high level, you will be playing a hell of a lot more Summoner's Rift for a very long time. Not cool. Thank you. EDIT: people seem to be thinking I'm making assumptions from the Riot trailer, which I'm not. If you go around various gamesites like gamespot or PC gamer you'll find many interviews with Riot where they go into vastly more detail. That's where I'm getting my info from.
Officer Combine
IMO, we wanted a 5v5 MOBA map...Magma chamber. Why? Because most champs are balanced around 5v5 mobas. That's why 3v3 balance isn't good. Why ARAM isn't balanced. This announcement is just silly.
cool story bro keep tellin it at the parties
I agree, don't care about new game mode at all. Replays? Observer mode? Magma Chamber? Those, I would have been excited about.
true... expected new map to be similar to SR but was given a minigame instead that riot had been working on whole year instead of adding more depth and dimensions to SR-like map
Dont criticise what you havent even tried yet... On topic: I am fairly sure that Riot wants to keep SR the most common game mode. I understand dominion as a "play for fun" mode, which you can play when you have not enough time left for a "real" LoL match, but dont want to troll some bots in custom or Coop vs. AI. Also, click the following link for additional information: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...minion-preview Moreover, you say that Dominion will be closer to TT than to SR, this might be true, but i would bet that TT is closer to SR than Dominion is to TT, because it's a completely different game mode.
Backyard Mime
You like to assert that things are clear and obvious when they're not. Why is it "obvious" that Dominion is more similar to TT than Summoner's Rift? You're just making unfounded assertions.

Thank you for taking the opportunity to share your feedback. I am disappointed for the inconvenience caused to you due to a rate issue however, I was pleased that this matter was resolved speedily although I do appreciate that it had a negative impact on you at the check in stage.
Please accept our apologies that your accommodation felt uncomfortably hot. The last couple of months have been unusually warm in the UK and unfortunately, coupled with our heating being on 'winter mode' and the warm weather, some rooms in the hotel were affected by this at the time.
I do hope that you will have another opportunity to return to Crowne Plaza Resort Colchester – Five Lakes in the future and I feel confident that you will not experience the challenges that you have referred to herein.
With kind regards.

Amazing Weekend GetawayByaltash January 22, 2015 Was planning to spend the night at this hotel on our way to Colchester Zoo. Arrived at 4pm and loved the place so much that we changed the plan for the Zoo visit. Relaxed at the Spa, took a nature walk and instead of going out for dinner, ended up having the meal in-house. The next morning, stepped out for a walk again and relaxed at the Spa. At the time of check-out, our car got stuck in the mud and the Maintenance staff went out of their way to help us.

I was looking for some opinions on this CZ model as I handled one and really liked it a lot. Is this considered compact or midsize model in the CZ line?
I'm looking for a hi cap 9mm for HD/CC and like the CZ guns,they seem well made but I have no experience with their products as far as quality and reliability goes. Also does CT make laser grips for this gun? And what's with the nato stock number on the side of the receiver? Does this gun carry/conceal well IWB or OWB? Thanks for any help guys.

PT Cruiser Convertible. Key suppliers include Continental Teves for the ABS control unit; Hella for the headlamps and tail lamps; Valeo for the HVAC and the engine cooling module; Decoma for fascias; TRW for remote keyless entry; Johnson Controls for seats; Lear for door trim, hard trim, instrument panel, overhead system; Intier for the window regulators; Denso for the wiper module and blades; ArvinMeritor for springs; Edscha for the soft top..
"We had to go from a four-door to a two-door and yet to make it look like the two vehicles were designed as one." That's Brandon Faurote, senior manager, PT Cruiser Design, talking about one of the many challenges that they grappled with in turning out a new version of the distinctive PT Cruiser. Sure, the front ends would be the same. What he's talking about is making the two look harmonious, like they belong together, not as though this was some sort of kluge created with a saw to cut off the top and a couple of sheet metal panels to cover where the rear doors would otherwise be.
Consider a convertible with the top down. In effect, what was "inside" is now "outside." So, Faurote says, an effort was made to connect the two. They created what's called a "sport bar." Top up, it looks like the B-pillar. Top down, it is a body side-colored spoiler—although one with slightly odd positioning, as it's not in the back, where spoilers ordinarily reside. Yes, it is a structural component (it is a hydroformed assembly) that helps make the car stiffer than it would otherwise be. Yes, it does perform an aero function: it helps reduce wind noise so that those who sit in the back seat can talk with the top down without having to yell at one another. But it performs a visual function, too: The top stack (or retracted roof) is so far back that the sport bar serves to balance proportions along the side of the vehicle (i.e., windshield/sport bar/top stack).
A fundamental to building a solid convertible is a solid structure. While one of the simple ways to add structure is to add mass, not only is that counterproductive vis-à-vis obtaining good fuel mileage, but there is also the issue of excess weight reducing the nimbleness of the vehicle (just what you don't want is a convertible that's as solid as a rock and just as maneuverable). According to Dennis Krozek, director, Vehicle Development and Program Management, there were specific areas where the CAE-based strain density plots indicated that improvements would be helpful, so reinforcements were applied in these five areas: on the sill between the A and B pillars; cross-car, by the B-pillar; the rear seat structure between the wheelhouse; the beltline, from the B-pillar rearward; inside the two doors (beams were added). The aforementioned sport bar also contributes to rigidity. As a result, the body-in-white has a twist stiffness of 4,693 ft.-lb./deg. and a bend stiffness of 42,800 lb./in. In addition to which, the front strut, rear Watt's linkage, rear shocks, and rear trailing arm mounting structures are stiffened. What's interesting to note is that compared with the sedan, the addition of mass for the convertible is a comparatively mere 150 lb., so it is clear that strength doesn't necessarily require a whole lot of extra weight—if you engineer it right.
The sedan and the convertible are being produced at the Toluca Assembly Plant (Mexico). Paul Scapini, program manager, PT Cruiser, notes that the workers there have built over 640,000 sedans during the past four years. Since the sedan has been in production, there has been the addition of a new paint shop and the assembly area has been expanded to accommodate the production of the variant version. A new automated underbody line has been installed specifically for the convertible. The trim, chassis and final line is shared by the two vehicles. There is no batch building of PTs. What is built is driven by customer orders. There is a reticence to offer production projections. But it is probably going to be on the order of 25,000 to 35,000 convertibles per year.
One of the manufacturing issues related to making a convertible that doesn't exist in making hardtops is installing the top module. After all, location is everything, especially when an objective is to produce a vehicle with little interior noise. So they've installed an ergonomic assist arm in Toluca to lift and position the top module into a setting fixture. This aligns the top with the rear quarter panels so that it can be attached where required.
To make sure that they were going to be able to build high-quality vehicles from the get-go, a select group of individuals traveled from Toluca to the Chyrsler Auburn Hills pilot plant to work out and refine the process.

Gwinnett Daily Post
ATLANTA -- Teach for America announced last week the recipients of one of the organization's top awards. Among them: Sheena Varghese, a graduate of Parkview High School.
The award, which recognizes extraordinary second-year teachers in urban and rural public schools, was given to only four teachers around the state.
Varghese, who graduated from the University of Georgia in 2011, is a special education teacher at Harper-Archer Middle School in Atlanta Public Schools. She and the other award recipients will each get a $3,000 prize.
According to a news release from Teach for America, Varghese has led her students "to remarkable academic and personal growth. In her first year in the classroom, 100 percent of her students passed the Georgia Alternative Assessment -- an increase of 80 percentage points from the previous year.
"Sheena greets every day and every students, with a sense of possibility, said Ahmed Ahmed, Teach for America Manager of Teacher Leadership Development and Varghese's instructional coach. "Where many would lower the bar, Ms. Varghese raises it, then raises it again. She approaches her kids with a deep understanding of what they can do and a determination to do whatever it takes to empower them to realize their tremendous potential."
Created in honor of longtime Teach for America national board member Sue Lehmann, the annual award recognizes and celebrates "the finest in teaching."

What's being said
Corporate American has stopped the filing of lawsuits by taking demand letters so lightly. Early on in my career I decided not to send demand letters because accusations of extortion were often made, and there never was an interest on the corporation's part in settling the case. The accusations of extortion were quite specious because deposition testimony and/or verdicts indicated the Defendant was in the wrong.
The California court system cannot handle the amount of litigation that has come in. At least in terms of employment cases it is unusual for an employment case to settle for less after protracted litigation. Employers and corporate America might want to return to trying to resolve legal matters before cases are filed.

Last week I had the opportunity to teach another class as part of Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less (ESMMWL) program at the Dinah E. Gore Fitness and Aquatics Center. The ESMMWL class is a 15-week program developed by the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service and N.C. Public Health. It is part of the statewide movement called Eat Smart, Move More...North Carolina. The whole idea is to increase opportunities for healthy eating and physical activity wherever North Carolinians live, learn, earn, play and pray.
These past couple of weeks I've had the opportunity to speak for the Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less class sponsored by the Brunswick County office of the N.C. Cooperative Extension. This is a series of classes held at the Dinah E. Gore Fitness and Aquatics Center at Brunswick Community College. The goal of these classes is just what the name suggests—to learn how you can eat smart, move more and weigh less.
Seems like people are always coming up with new and interesting ways to cook food, and then they tell everyone on the Internet how to do it. This week, the latest craze is eggs. It seems folks on Pinterest and Facebook are offering instructions on how to hard-cook eggs in the oven. I actually heard some of my neighbors talking about this last week, too. Another friend tells me she's been doing it for years, as when making fancy Italian Easter cookies and breads with decorated eggs baked in the dough.
By Judy Koehly Master Gardener As you plan your vegetable garden, you will choose what vegetables you wish to grow, and you should also choose which plants would attract beneficial insects. A garden insectary is a small garden plot of flowering plants designed to attract and harbor beneficial insects. These "good insects" prey on many common garden insect pests and offer the gardener a safer, natural alternative to pesticides.
Brunswick County 4-H Teens in Leadership Training (TiLT) have welcomed 11 new youths to its 4-H Youth Volunteer Program. They were trained, along with four other youths, at the weekend training on Feb. 16-17 at Fort Caswell. The new youths, all from Brunswick County, are in sixth through 11th grade. They include: Owen Bell, Nikki Cooper, Bryant Holden, Sadie Huntly, Alison Jones, Bethany Jones, Bobbi Jane Lawrence, Breanna Long, Savanna Moore, Katlyn Toney and Campbell Woody.
Brunswick County 4-H celebrated 2012 with a Hawaiian "4-0" theme at its annual achievement banquet on Thursday, March 7. The room was decorated in purple and green with help from Linda Marlowe and flowers made by members of the 4-H Teen Council. All attendees received leis and a spyglass. Youth enjoyed a purple and green candy bar and the food catered by Smithfield's Chicken and Barbeque. Breanna Long shared a comedy skit, and Kenan Bridges and Sammi Lawrence sang "Lucky."
How can something as simple as carrots be so confusing and dare I say controversial? This past week, I once again got an email telling me not to eat baby carrots. I couldn't just forward this on to my unsuspecting friends. I had to learn more about the concern. Was there some merit in this warning?
By Judy Koehly Master Gardener Plants don't need as much care in winter as they do in summer, but it is important not to neglect watering your plants during the winter. Some ice or wind damage is unavoidable, but a lot of cold weather damage to plants' cells is caused by dehydration. In our region, normal winter precipitation is enough for plants because their cold-weather watering needs are considerably less. However, making sure your plants have adequate hydration is the best way to protect them in harsh weather.

Ebola Outbreak Kills Nine in DR Congo
The deaths were among 11 "probable or confirmed" cases detected in the town of Isiro in the north of the country, the minister was quoted as saying in a statement released by the World Health Organization.
Teams of doctors from the health ministry, the WHO, aid group Doctors Without Borders and the US-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were treating those infected, the statement added.
In western Uganda, about 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the border with DR Congo, 16 people have died from the virus since the start of July, although authorities say the outbreak there has been brought under control.
Ebola is fatal in about 50-90 percent of cases, with victims bleeding from body orifices before dying in the most severe instances.
The rare hemorrhagic disease, named after a small river in DR Congo, killed 37 people in western Uganda in 2007 and at least 170 in the north of the country in 2000.

It seems to me that women don't like intelligent men because they find such men as know it all's.
It seems to me that women don't like intelligent men because they find such men as know it all's.
Maybe gentlemen prefer blonds; however, intelligent women prefer intelligent men.
I wish I knew how to dress like Brian suggests - other than losing another 200 pounds or learning to sew, I am not sure it's possible. Modest isn't the problem, but fashionable is. You see, fashionable in Texas for some places includes cowboy hats and rhinestones or sequins, possibly even feathers. Black tie functions mean you wear black jeans, black boots, and a black hat with your tux shirt and the jacket better be Tombstone cut.
:) Messing with you, but seriously, I wish men knew how insecure statements about female appearance make women. I have lots of days when I feel like I shouldn't be allowed out of the house unless I'm going to consent to wear a burka.
i wonder if they could make a sexy looking burka.....
I agree all of that's important, but I believe attractiveness can grow between people- maybe it's a girl thing, but I see people as package deals, I have seen far too many very successful arranged marriages to believe otherwise. Most guys I meet have to have "Spark" instant physical attraction.. My ex taught me that one , he said he'd never been attracted to me, tried to be, but wasn't. Said he only would be if I lost more weight for him (I'd already lost 30lbs for him). I called BS; after 2 years if it's not there, it's not there...
I gotta say, "emotional" changes over time, too. I used to be called "emotionally inept" I was the least clingy girlfriend you could have, always had my cool about me and could put a man in his place if he disrespected me; something like what my ex put me through can devastate a person- it wrecked me and made me seek constant validation, crying at the drop of a hat etc. Being emotional could just be a phase is all I'm saying. As I've heard, "everyone comes with baggage, find someone who loves you enough to help you unpack"
You were asking if men value looks - I told you that we do. I don't necessarily disagree with anything you said. But, there is reason why the pretty girls get dates and the not so pretty/ or the ones with a few extra pounds don't. Is that fair or right? Probably not - but that is the way that it is.

I didn't ask anything at all, where did you get that impression?
I wish I knew how much men truly value looks, and how they (tend to) think it's better to hide the truth if it'll hurt someone they care about :/
I wish men knew that it's better to not hide anything because oftentimes the act of hiding it or lying is more upsetting than whatever it was. I caught my dad telling my ex if he ever cheated on me to not tell me, just don't let it happen again. Neither understood why that upset me! If that were the case and he told me, we'd work through it- lie and I find out about it? Far FAR worse. Little things, too. Don't like my dinner? Tell me so I can make it better. Don't tell me you love it so I keep making it and eventually feel like an idiot when I find out you hate it...even if it's meant to spare feelings, being lied to and finding out about it feels cruel and heartbreaking (to me, anyhow)
This is where I got that impression.....
This is where I got that impression.....
Which was an answer to the OP: "What's one thing YOU wish you had known a bit earlier about the opposite sex?"
But now I can add: I wish I knew that men don't read to the end of anything a woman writes.
...but normally this is a sign of immaturity at best or at worst they are just superficial. Either way they are not men you want to be tied to in the long run.
Nice POV, Justin, I'm just not sure most guys are honest about the looks thing when they start dating. I mean, I've only had 2 people tell me "Sorry, I'm not attracted to you" and that's okay! Most guys I've met are interested only in sex, so when I say no, I always end up "one of the guys" as much as I try to make them see the package deal- like, I'll get into the game with them, play darts at the bar, suggest we take our cars to the race track or our firearms to the range, don't need any help with changing a tire (or an engine), and will call them out on their BS (as needed). It's my way of flirting I thought guys wanted a girl they can be best friends with, but every single dang time- cfompletely friendzoned for no sex, and they always say it's because I'm "no longer attractive" since I turn them down for sex, and became "one'a the guys" It took me a long time to figure out that my method doesn't really work..so I took to curling my hair and baking things in the shape of hearts
It took me a long time to figure out that my method doesn't really work..so I took to curling my hair and baking things in the shape of hearts
Sorry to hear that you feel like you can't be yourself around the guys, Mary. My view is that if they don't like you for who you are, then they aren't the one for you anyway. I mean, do you really want to end up with a guy who doesn't appreciate you for who you really are? That doesn't sound like love to me. Just my
God bless,

I am looking at using the Ceiling Link system in our basement and was wondering what tiles people have chosen and why. The basement will have a finished height of 6-9, except where I need to box in duct work and such. For what it is worth the house was built in 1951 and I will be installing probably 900 sq ft between the main area, a study and a bathroom.
Maybe is it is just the stores in my area, but it is suprising there is not a better display of the tiles out there to give you an idea of what it will really look like in the various styles. Lowe's has single tiles at least with some light shining on them, but not as you would see in a real installed position. HD has some on display, poor lighting and more open boxes of damaged material than anything. Have not yet ventured to Menards as it is about and hour away.... Thanks! |

I always wondered, if on the cheap, one could not cut a 4 X 8 sheet of drywall into 8 2x2 tiles...sure would be cheap! |
I like that. |
Using drywall squares does sound like a cost effective solution - but is there a weight issue? I am planning to use a track system to hold the tiles in place. I am not sure these tracks would hold up the many sheets of drywall (cut into tiles) needed to cover my ceiling. thanks |

my home depot used to sell 1/4" drywall...should be light...sound issues are another story I guess... |

VDOT to Advertise $1.1B in Road Projects
Governor Bob McDonnell today announced that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will advertise an estimated $1.1 billion in construction and maintenance projects during the first six months of Fiscal Year 2011. The estimated economic impact of the work is 33,900 jobs created or supported, as well as $2.83 billion in economic activity and $282.5 million in taxes that will come back to the state.
"After taking office, I directed VDOT to start authorizing and advertising projects in a more timely and efficient manner, in order to get much needed road projects underway, and traffic moving again," McDonnell said. "In just six months, the agency will have advertised $1.1 billion – half of its annual budget. This will have a positive impact on Virginia's infrastructure and economy. For every $100 million spent on highway maintenance, it is estimated 3,000 jobs are created or supported. By working hard to ensure that VDOT invests all available transportation resources as soon as they become available, and in a manner that has the most benefit to motorists traveling throughout the state, we will greatly improve our transportation system and spur economic growth." The agency has advertised more than 350 projects in the past six months and advertised more than $500 million in work during December, Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton said. State officials cited studies published by the Federal Highway Administration and the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials, which showed that every $100 million spent on highway construction and maintenance projects adds 3,000 jobs created or supported, $250 million in economic activity and $25 million in taxes that go back to Virginia coffers. |

Read a thread the other day with people arguing about the cold air intake working with the supercharger. My question is...
With a Supercharger, does it really matter the temperature of the air before the SC since the SC heats the air anyway? I've always heard the best way to improve performance is to upgrade the intercooler since that is after the SC but before the manifold. I know when I had my turboed 335i, all the guys were focused on upgrading the FMIC.
Seems the CAI on a supercharger is a waste of money.

The news of the loss of Robin Williams is saddening. I however can't help feeling that it is the shared delusion of a better place to go that was likely the cause. This is not a new idea as suicide to speed along the journey to "heaven" that caused the church to announce that it was a sin. Those who say religion isn't harmful if practiced alone I believe are mistaken or have never lost a loved one who was alone with their ideas of a better place. Maybe this idea is ill timed, but I have seen many instances where life was lost due to someone hoping for the promised land because their ideas were allowed to manifest unchallenged.
Just my thoughts
Hold my tongue for speaking of facts? When I said Google it and find out I was informing you that the U. S. of A. ranks 27 on the list of top health care nations. None of what I posted hints that "I am not satisfied" with my health care, but to be honest here, we could learn a lot if we had a system like they do in France.
Currently I have Coventry Advantage through Medicare, and I also am a vet so I have the VA card in my wallet also. So far my prescriptions are free, and I have a $10 co-pay. That isn't bad, but I still believe what I have written in the first paragraph.
@Michael......What I don't understand is why people complain about healthcare even though they themselves are getting good health care...You and I are examples of people getting decent healthcare...Sure ,there needs to be more control over the greediness of Big Pharma..As I said earlier,our Do Nothing congress ,has let the American people down.....Better legislation can improve the cost of health care....Governors in southern states can allow for medicaid expansion to help the poor and disabled... However most of us are getting good healthcare despite all its faults...
F31, when Michael says the USofA is a long way down the list in healthcare outcomes, he is correct.
A recent National Geographic compared in a graph the world's nations on healthcare costs and outcomes.
In the USofA, COSTS ARE FAR HIGHER THAN IN ANY OTHER NATION. Outcomes are a long way down the list.
The condition has existed for decades.
It's true that we look like crap when compared with other industrialized nations.
The challenge with any health care system is to find the sweet spot among three factors, cost, quality of care and access to care. One question - how many insurance companies are declaring bankruptcy? They're laughing all the way to the bank while we suffer and bicker pointlessly about how to fix something that the people pulling the strings and benefiting have no wish to fix.
k.h......So sorry about your horrible experience...Are you not eligible for medicaid? or maybe the state or federal exchanges? I was under the impression that the ACA , considering the person took advantage of it, would eliminate such obscene charges.....You have every right to be angry..and should report this abuse, if you are in a state or federal exchange....
I have severe problems with Obamacare.
And it doesn't help to be told that most people are happy with it.
According to a recent national poll, most people are not happy with Obamacare.
But even if they were, the problem with healthcare systems like this is that bureaucracies and insurance co's have too much power over healthcare. It should be a matter between a person and their doctor.
And people with unusual problems like me, fall through the cracks.
Future, a lot of that is caused by higher pricing that may occur if you have insurance. They explain it away somehow, but how could you get something cheaper without insurance? Sometimes people do. I call this practice double dipping.

Southwest Airlines' de-banking of its schedule at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International airport in November is already beginning to pay off, with gains in both local and connecting traffic.
Bob Jordan, chief commercial officer of the Dallas-based low-fare carrier, says that its optimised schedule in the Georgia capital has generated "good gains" in local traffic from November, on the sidelines of the World Routes conference in Las Vegas today. He adds that the carrier is already carrying more connecting passengers over Atlanta than subsidiary AirTran Airways did following the acquisition in 2010.
"It's much more Southwest-like, like a Chicago Midway perhaps," he says on the optimised schedule in Atlanta. "We have no banks, instead we have a much larger number of small peaks during the day."
Atlanta was the combined carriers' fourth largest airport with 173 daily departures in August, according to Southwest.
The new schedule, which is part of Southwest's on-going integration of AirTran, is a key part of optimising the airline's network. For example, it allows for improved aircraft, gate and crew utilisation, says Jordan.
Another key part of the network optimisation was the implementation of codesharing between Southwest and AirTran in April. This was further enhanced with co-ordinated schedules in August and October.
Schedules at airports like Baltimore/Washington International, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International and Orlando International, where both Southwest and AirTran have large operations, were "sub-optimised" prior to the codeshare, says Jordan.

June 11 (Bloomberg) -- Ten-year gilts rose for the ninth successive week, the longest run since Bloomberg began collecting the data in 1989, amid signs that growth is weakening, reducing the case for higher U.K. interest rates.
The pound fell for a second-straight week against the dollar as reports showed factory output contracted more than economists estimated in April and shop-price inflation slowed in May. Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne rejected calls for a "Plan B" to scale back his deficit-reduction program if the economic recovery stalls, while Moody's Investors Service said the U.K.'s Aaa credit rating may be at risk should the government miss its debt-reduction targets.
"The data is turning down and forecasters are hopelessly behind the curve," said Andrew Roberts, head of European interest-rate strategy at Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc in London. For gilts, "you have seen a pretty chunky outperformance," he said. "The bias is for lower yields."
The yield on the 10-year gilt fell to 3.22 percent as of 3:48 p.m. in London yesterday, from 3.29 percent on June 3. The two-year note yield fell to 0.82 percent, the lowest since Nov. 10, from 0.90 percent last week.
Sterling slid to $1.6234 from $1.6426 and was little changed at 88.54 pence per euro from 89.10 pence per euro.
Slowing Growth
Bank of England officials are grappling with signs of deteriorating economic growth as inflation exceeds policy makers' target rate. Investors pushed back bets that the bank will next increase interest rates to May, forward contracts on the sterling overnight interbank average show. As recently as February, traders were betting on an increase as soon as last month, data from Tullett Prebon Plc showed. The bank kept its benchmark interest rate at a record-low 0.5 percent this week.
A report next week may show consumer prices increased 4.5 percent in May from a year earlier, matching the pace in April, which was the fastest since 2008, according to the median of 29 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
Gilts have handed investors 2.4 percent this year, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. German bunds have returned zero, while U.S. Treasuries made 3.1 percent.
