In yeast, assembly of exocytic soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein (NSF) attachment protein receptor (SNARE) complexes between the secretory vesicle SNARE Sncp and the plasma membrane SNAREs Ssop and Sec9p occurs at a late stage of the exocytic reaction. Mutations that block either secretory vesicle delivery or tethering prevent SNARE complex assembly and the localization of Sec1p, a SNARE complex binding protein, to sites of secretion. By contrast, wild-type levels of SNARE complexes persist in the sec1-1 mutant after a secretory block is imposed, suggesting a role for Sec1p after SNARE complex assembly. In the sec18-1 mutant, cis-SNARE complexes containing surface-accessible Sncp accumulate in the plasma membrane. Thus, one function of Sec18p is to disassemble SNARE complexes on the postfusion membrane.

Stefan Ratchford admits he "can't wait to get started" again as he and the rest of the Warrington squad step up their preparations for the new Super League season.
The Wolves have swapped the cold snap in England for a warm-weather training camp in Tenerife, giving coach Tony Smith a chance to put his squad through their paces ahead of their opening fixture at home to Castleford on February 3.
They will be hoping to go one better in 2013 having lost last year's Grand Final to Leeds, though they did beat the Rhinos to lift the Challenge Cup at Wembley.
"I can't wait to get started," Ratchford, who is heading into his second season with the Wolves, told the club's official website.
"It will take a lot to emulate last year but hopefully we can do, and go one better in the Grand Final and finish off with both trophies rather than just the one. As last year, hopefully I can get in the starting 17 and then see how it goes from there.
"We've not brought anyone in from outside we've just promoted the younger lads. A few who were eying up the squad this last year have come into the top 25 so it's going to be tough.
"They got their chance to play a few games last year so they've got that experience and will want to play more keeping some of the older lads on their toes. Everyone will be playing at 100% every week to keep their place in the squad."
Before the season begins Warrington will face Wigan Warriors at the Halliwell Jones Stadium in a testimonial game for England international Ben Westwood.

POSTED: Monday, October 28, 2013 - 8:38am
UPDATED: Monday, October 28, 2013 - 8:41am
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced 14 awards for projects to bring broadband to unserved rural communities. U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utilities Service Administrator John Padalino made the announcement on the Secretary's behalf while addressing a regional meeting of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association in San Antonio.
"Access to broadband is one of the most important investments in rural communities today," Vilsack said. "These awards will help create jobs, and give rural residents greater access to educational, health care and social services."
USDA is providing $20.3 million in grants through the Community Connect Grant program.
For example, in Tennessee, Scott County Telephone Cooperative has been selected to receive a $2.6 million grant to build a network that will provide free broadband service to essential community facilities such as schools and libraries. The Cooperative also will establish a center where local residents will have access to free internet service for two years.
These are the first awards made under the Community Connect program's new guidelines that now allow applicants to fund broadband infrastructure for more than one community, and raise the minimum required speed. Projects funded must deliver broadband at five megabits per second (Mbps).
The following is a list of awardees that will receive USDA funding contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the grant agreement:
- Texhoma Fiber, LLC – $863,000. To provide broadband service to Sunset in southern Montague County and to serve homes around the Lyndon B. Johnson National Grassland area. Residential customers will have access to service with speeds of up to 20 Mbps, and businesses will have service with speeds up to 100 Mbps. The project will also provide a community center with free service for at least two years. Free service will also be provided to critical community facilities for at least two years.
Texhoma Fiber, LLC – $978,000. To provide broadband service to the community of Ringgold. Customers will be able to receive broadband, voice and cable television service. Residential customers will have access to speeds up to 100 Mbps, while speeds up to 1 gigabyte will be available for business customers. Discounted broadband service will be offered to eligible low-income subscribers. The project will provide free broadband service to critical community facilities and a community center for residents for at least two years.
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values.

text: Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity "Avoiding Spirituality" first appeared in the Spring 1994 issue of Touchstone. Avoiding SpiritualityA Philistine Looks (Obliquely) at Spirituality by S. M. Hutchens I confess to being flummoxed by much of what I see under the publisher's rubric "spirituality." Some of this, no doubt, comes from philistinism traceable to personal faults—but not all, since the term appears to cover not only firm ground but also a great deal of swamp. In short, I know what fasting is; I know what prayer is; I know what meditation is; I am still not sure I know what spirituality is, although I think I have a reasonable idea of what it shouldn't be. Having read somewhat more Ambrose Bierce (that great Protestant theologian) than is good for me, I disgorge the following Devil's Dictionary citation: The misanthrope becomes a Christian and discovers he was really an eremite all along; the anti-social discovers the wonders of apocalyptic prophecy; the anorectic finds herself a model of ascetic devotion; the compulsive finds that there is more to be gained all around by mumbling prayers from dawn to dusk than from stacking and unstacking little piles of paper clips. The greatest of these wraps himself in chains and a hair shirt and stands on a pillar gazing at the sun, thinking that by so doing he honors the will of the One who went about doing good. I am not a cynic. I believe in great contemplatives, great ascetics, great men of prayer, and that spiritual growth involves pain. But I also believe that in thinking on these matters we are not relieved of our obligation to discern the spirits to see if they come from God. The great saints (which we are all called to be) are not the despisers of the flesh, the morbidly punctilious, the superstitious, the nervous, or the angry. They are worthy of emulation not because they fasted or studied or prayed—the Gentiles do the same—but because they do the will of God. Let us not forget that the heaviest charges against our Lord were leveled by the rigorists. If they were using today's terminology, they would have said that he was insufficiently spiritual. Our Lord Jesus, who did the will of the Father in all things, fasted heroically, prayed without ceasing, and his thoughts were the very thoughts of God. Those who would be complete Christians must do what he did. But the essence of "spirituality" in such matters involves doing them but in due time and measure, and always under the Spirit's guidance. All spiritual disciplines are comprehended in obedience. It is dreadfully easy to fall into the trap of thinking things like, "The more difficult I find some discipline, the more necessary it is to afflict myself with it as often as possible," for while frequent affliction may indeed be what will relieve and sanctify us, it may also make us worse than we already are. We cannot be our own spiritual physicians, and general rules about spiritual discipline give us no information whatever about what we are actually to do. We may find ourselves committing some folly by following good (so to speak) principles apart from the will of God. The Scriptures tell us about the times Jesus fasted and prayed all night, but these were done in the context of a life in which he customarily ate normal meals and got the proper amount of rest, also in accordance with the will of the Father. When the Spirit drove him out to the wilderness to be tempted he did not stay there to gain extra merit for extra misery. When the ordeal was over, the Devil left for a while and angels ministered to him. There are two kinds of people who find the Christian spiritual disciplines difficult—and I think we all contain both of them within us, usually with one or the other predominating. The lazy do, of course. But so do the naturally energetic, those whom it is easy to regard as athletes of devotion because they are always doing something unappealing in God's name. It does not appear to me that God is a respecter of persons in his distribution of proclivities: the naturally active has no advantage over the naturally lethargic. (Read Karl Barth's magnificent treatise on the sin of sloth!1) The truly disciplined person is the truly obedient person who allows the rod and staff of the Good Shepherd to do their work in his life, prodding him on if that is what he needs, or holding him back. This is not to be confused with the integer vitae, the measured life of the disciplined pagan. It is rather the life of the Son of God lived in and through us. We find this hard because we are fallen creatures, but the hardness is rarely so much in the doing as in the obedience that brings us to it. Some find it easier to climb the mountain than to rest; others to rest than climb. Whatever the natural tendency, the great thing is to do what one should. There is another reason why I prefer thinking in terms of obedience rather than invoking the category "spirituality." Talk about spirituality seems almost invariably to remove the regular exercises of the Christian life one or more levels from what is expected of ordinary Christians—a very bad thing. If the least impressive believer is on his way to becoming a god, the plain Christian life is that of the giant, the hero, the saint, and the martyr. These are not things that extraordinary Christians become, but that ordinary Christians are when they follow Jesus. We look for the spectacular in our saints, and tend to admire it far too much. The greatest of our Lord's own spiritual accomplishments—his highest exercise of spiritual power—was on a day he simply allowed himself to be led away and killed. Jesus, in fact, doesn't really look to me like a Catholic, Protestant, or Orthodox saint.2 There is too much plain manliness, too much blunt practicality in kingdom matters (this is where Mother Teresa looks most like her Lord), too much healthy flesh and blood. He doesn't make enough of the miracles, and they are too burdened with teaching—which seems to be their main point anyway. Once again, he isn't spiritual enough. If I understand St. Paul rightly, the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians is the great New Testament commentary on this subject, its message being that spirituality without charity, like faith without works, is dead. Everything we have been discussing here falls under the categories employed in the first three verses: speaking in the tongues of men and angels—ecstatic experience and prayer—the exercise of prophetic powers, and even, most remarkably, accomplishment of great acts of good will, including self-giving to the point of immolation. The teaching that these things are vain apart from charity is built on the Apostle's understanding of the paradox and irony of human existence under the law of God. The giving of the self—which is the essential and necessary act of the spiritual man's life—is only the giving of a thing which shall vanish into nothingness anyway apart from the unmerited favor of God. What, indeed, does it matter if one gives one's body to be burned if that body is dust and ashes to begin with? This is not in itself a meritorious act, merely a realistic response to the way things are. That the life of one depends upon the death of another is simply a law of nature with which we must comply, either willingly or not. In giving our bodies to be burned we might very naturally credit ourselves with immense goodness, but in fact any goodness that is in it is, from the standpoint of the Christian and Jew—the hardest-nosed moralists in the world—quite extraneous not only to the act itself, but even to all the good intentions that accompany it—donum superadditum, for all good things, even good intentions, come from God. The Jew knows that the greatest acts of human good are vanity apart from the covenant mercies of God, and the Christian adds to this the knowledge that apart from the power of the new creation in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that is, apart from the great Act of divine charity toward us, in which all other acts of charity must inhere to be charitable, all putative good comes to nothing. These are powerful antidotes to foolishness about spirituality, or about anything else, for that matter. They force us to look far beyond the mere possession of spiritual gifts, beyond even the possible meritoriousness of their exercise, to inquire after the favor of God upon what we do—for charity, which is God's gift to us before it is our gift to anyone else, is that in which, and by which only, the work of our hands is established. The law of God has not changed. If someone would disparage Qoheleth as a primitive legalist for saying that the whole duty of man is to fear God and keep his commandments (something that Protestants in particular seem to have a hard time with), I would point him toward the one who said that if we love him we will keep his commandments, and who, after forgiving the woman taken in adultery, told her to go and behave herself, presumably according to the dictates of the law; who, after healing the leper, told him to show himself to a priest of the Mosaic dispensation. The Christian may be gifted with a more complete understanding of precisely why he is to be obedient, but the injunction and its ethical result is the same. Obedience to the commands of the Lord is, once again, the first and final act of Christian spirituality. All of us have a lopsided spirituality in accordance with our natural strengths and weaknesses. All have the tendency to modestly congratulate ourselves on what we regard as our strong points, either ignore or brood on our weak ones, and reproach others for succumbing to sins that don't tempt us much. All this is to be put aside for doing what is required of us, and growing toward other and greater acts of submission. How does one become "spiritual"? Better to ask how one becomes obedient, for when it is put that way the answer always is closer to hand. I know it is in my own life, where God's directions on what I am to do and to avoid—although rarely the actual outcome of the doing or the avoiding—are quite clear. If I followed them as I know I ought, there is little doubt that I would become more pleasing to God than I am, and the question of whether I was more spiritual as a result would solve itself. It is plain, for example, that my central calling is to teach, and secondarily, perhaps, to preach (opinions have differed on the latter). At any rate, I have found it necessary, for the life of the mind in the body, for a strict fast before doing either. These labors also must be supported by study and meditation, which I cannot do well on a full stomach. If I am to do what I ought and do it well, I must, for the joy of becoming more of what God already has made me, correct many poor habits, eating and otherwise. My call, if pursued with proper diligence, will lead to other virtues, not artificially appended to the life I have been given as random self-improvement programs, but as increasingly necessary parts of the whole. One test must be passed, one more ray of light absorbed, before I move on to the next. So I will become more obedient—more spiritual if you insist—as I do from hour to hour what I know quite well the Spirit requires of me. I shall die uncompleted, but perfection ( teleosis) is not required of mortal flesh. Faithfulness is. Notes: 1. Church Dogmatics IV/2: 403ff. 2. More philistinism perhaps, but Orthodox saints are too flat, Catholic saints too pale, and Protestant saints too anti-catholic. S. M. Hutchens is a senior editor of Touchstone.

On Saturday, The Salvation Army served more than 200 meals to shelter residents along the Florida Keys. Along with serving, The Salvation Army is also available for emotional and spiritual care for those needing prayer or a kind word.
With Isaac's path shifting, The Salvation Army in the Florida Panhandle continues to monitor the storm for landfall. The Salvation Army is also prepared to open its disaster warehouse in Panama City to help stage disaster relief supplies in the region.
With regions of Florida still recovering from Tropical Storm Debby flooding, The Salvation Army is prepared to help residents who may be affected by Isaac as well.
In addition to feeding, The Salvation Army is prepared to provide:
The Salvation Army encourages all residents of areas in the storm's path to prepare an Emergency supply kit and stay informed to all warnings.

By Bloomberg/Businessweek Auburn Alabama — At the sight of his leash, Baxter explodes out of his crate. The leash means work, work means reward, and that's Baxter's reason for being. The adolescent yellow Labrador retriever has only eight months of training, so he yanks and skitters more than a fully trained dog. But once his handler clicks the lead onto his collar, he raises his nose and swivels his head side to side, sampling air currents, until he smells something he recognizes. Then his behavior visibly changes. Baxter is "on scent" and quickens his pace, his head and tail up, narrowing in on a cluster of vehicles.

If you have ever overacted, you are not alone; however, you should recognize that one of the worst human tendencies is to overreact. Too often, our politicians overreact to a single transgression with a new law, rule, or regulation. Over the weekend, my wife joked about having to show ID when buying an alcoholic beverage. The waiter apologized and explained the restaurant policy of checking all customer IDs, as a result of a lawsuit by an intoxicated underage patron. It did not matter that the under aged patron used a fake ID, nor does it matter that 99% of the restaurant customers are 40+. All customers must provide ID. The people intent on cheating will still get fake IDs.
Although law makers and some jurists would have you believe otherwise, judgment and accountability cannot be replaced by laws and "zero tolerance" policies. It's silly to suspend a 7-year-old from school for taking a nail clipper (with a nail file) to school, and it's silly for us to run our businesses as if the world is black and white and subject to clear lines of demarcation.
A business, for which I provide training programs, recently developed a new employee manual. Their attorney reviewed the manual for conformance with applicable employment laws but recommended against an employee manual for two reasons. From a legal perspective, the attorney stated that an employer can inadvertently give up certain rights that may not be considered when the manual is being developed. From a practical perspective, the attorney advised that a manual can force a manager to classify an employee mistake or discretion as black or white, and may force the employer to make a decision that is not in the best interest of the businesses or the employee. Although I am not against employee manuals, businesses must be clear on the information that they are trying to present in the manual. All too often, employee manuals are used as a tool to enforce policies and to punish or terminate employees. The world is full of shades of grey, requiring judgment and, very often, toleration and forgiveness. Employee manuals, rules, regulations and reactive laws can prevent that from happening.
The most successful and profitable business with which I worked over the past 25+ years thrives in shades of gray. Their employee manual was developed to provide clarity and so all employees can provide consistent and superb service to all customers. The manual does not list rules, regulations or employee punishment guidelines. The CEO communicates a vision to work toward and parameters to work within. There are few rules. The business has grown from 20 to more than 1,000 employees, has enjoyed double digit revenue and net income growth for more than 20 consecutive years and has been named one of the best places to work – all because they like shades of grey.

My camera is not good for taking photos in the night. But I was determined to freeze my experience of watching the "super moon " rise over the apartment buildings near by house.
Super Moon, 2011
But what I am sharing with you, is not this bad picture but the thoughts that raced through my mind as I focused on the super moon, which was at its closest point to earth on 19th March 2011-"14% bigger, 30% brighter".
The Cosmic Dance
The above Ikebana arrangement is taken from an exhibition held in Gurgaon on 29th January, 2011. The theme was "symbolism" in Japanese Ikebana. This evocative piece by Gayatri Dayanand was titled "The Cosmic Dance". Nice mixture of Japanese symbolism and Indian thought, I said to myself. But it looked like a 'wreath' you present at funerals and so I had no intention of publishing it anywhere. How wrong I was! As I watched the super moon rise, I felt like asking the moon to place a wreath on Japan.
I also remembered the beautiful "Bonsai" garden of Renu Vaish in Kapashera(near Gurgaon) which the members of our Kitchen Garden Association visited on the fateful day of 11th March, 2011.
Images of the Japanese Bonsai garden, clicked just one hour before the earthquake struck Japan on 11th March, 1.04 PM, IST.
I am ending this blog with a photo from the ShantiStup in New Delhi.

Milan is a city known for its glamour and culture, however, reminiscent from the film the birds by Alfred Hitchcock watch out for the Pigeon people standing outside the Cathedral in the centre of Milan. They will grab your hands and put pigeon feed in them!! Then you will be swarmed by pigeons and then asked for some money for the privilidge!!! Best advice is to avoid these people like the plague and you will be much happier for it. Anyone who has experienced this will know what I mean!!

Today I thought I'd feature a photo from Alfie's childhood. Don't you just love the retro tricycle that he's riding on, and the cars in the background? And doesn't his outfit (coat, hat and boots) look smart? You don't see many kids wearing berets these days. Apparently Alfie loved that beret and refused to take it off, even at night.
We were watching the Angelina Jolie movie, Changeling, the other day, and Alfie commented on how cute the little boys looked, going to school in their berets and ties. I do wish kids were as smartly dressed now as they were back then? (BTW Changeling is set in the 1920's so I'm not implying that Alfie's photo above is also from that era!).
I used to dress The Pea in embroidered, smocked dresses every time she would go to birthday parties until I realized that everyone else was in regular play clothes, and she was better dressed than the birthday child. But in a time when those kinds of dresses go for $40 or more (we get ours from the Philippines, where they're much much cheaper) I don't blame anyone for choosing the $10 knit cotton dress from Walmart. But I do mourn the loss of well-tailored children's clothing.

Lit is Aj, Jeremy, Kevin & Allen.
Some really sad news from the Lit camp.
Dear Friends,
We are sad to have to be writing you all this letter. Our brother, Allen Shellenberger, is currently in the hospital undergoing testing and treatment for a brain tumor that was just discovered. We are still not sure what his prognosis is and we are all standing by and waiting for test results to come in. Please say a prayer and keep him in your thoughts.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to make the shows this week in the UK and Europe. We were all so excited to come. At this point we have to just stay put and be by Allen while he goes through this difficult time. We will make it up to you soon as soon as we can. We know some fans who made travel plans from other countries to see us and we apologize for the inconvenience.
Our West Coast dates right now are on hold until we know what is going on.
We will post another update soon. Allen sends his thanks for the well wishes and he's sorry we had to cancel these shows.
We'll be showing Allen the Lit myspace page with your comments of support.
Thanks for your understanding.
Info. taken from Lit's MySpace HERE.
Metal Sludge sends our best to Allen and the Lit camp.

As consumers we compare the price of a product with other prices, rather than with similar products, which may ultimately make us bad judges of value. This behaviour affects the way prices are structured by retailers, marketers and merchandisers and how people shop.
Australian and US research has shown that the first price we see becomes the "anchor" price and acts as the reference point for subsequent prices.
For example, an expensive bottle of wine may be included on a menu along with a very cheap bottle. This combination directs people to the middle-priced wines and acts as the anchor prices to create an artificial mid-point, which diners assume is the best value.In reality these wines may have a higher markup and actually represent poor value – yet you can't see this clearly because you're comparing the price of the cheapest bottle of wine with the most expensive.
Pricing tricks that create an artificial anchor price can hide high prices as well as poor value, and make it very difficult for consumers to make fair choices about what they buy. So it's very important that consumers are armed with some tools before marching into the shops.
Because most Australian consumers read from left to right, the lowest price on a supermarket shelf is often shown on the left.
It acts as an anchor point that directs us to the mid-point, which we assume is the best value. In every supermarket aisle, the brands with a higher markup will be positioned at eye level so that less effort is required for shoppers to choose these products.
Research has shown that consumers tend to circulate around the edges of the store and dip into the aisles rather than systematically travelling up and down. Supermarkets typically position the most popular items with the highest markup at the front of the aisles to encourage shoppers to put them into their trolleys.
"Bracketing" is when expensive items, such as steak or seafood, are offered in two sizes.
The smaller, less expensive dish is the item the restaurant expects to sell in larger quantities; the larger, more expensive option is included on the menu to make the smaller size appear better value and encourage diners to order that item.
The cheaper item may not represent better value but it's virtually impossible for diners to judge value for money in the absence of weight or unit price details.
Retailers will often position discounted products that are sold at a loss at the front of the store to entice customers inside. CHOICE has found that some liquor stores sell cheap cartons of beer as the "loss leader" to get you inside.
This simple ploy works because the discounted items are the anchor point, suggesting to consumers that other items inside will be discounted.
This may not be the case, but that doesn't matter because once you've invested time and effort getting into a store, you're more likely to spend.
These act as a trick to lower the price, but you must pay full price upfront and then work to claim back the refund.
Mobile phone "cap" plans create a false anchor price because you're charged more if you go over your limit.
Adverts offering discount products use a cheap anchor price to suggest all prices are discounted for that particular shop or website.
Pay with cash rather than a credit card because it makes the purchase more real. Research shows that pain receptors in the brain are activated during a cash purchase. This phenomenon helps limit overspending when using cash.

Brazil Central Bank Eases Consumer Credit Curbs as Economy Cools
Nov. 14 (Bloomberg) -- Brazil loosened restrictions on consumer lending in a move that could shore up growth in Latin America's largest economy and provide a boost to banks and car makers.
The central bank unwound most of the credit curbs that it imposed last December on auto loans, personal loans and payroll loans, according to a statement published on the bank's website Nov. 11 after markets had closed.
"This measure will boost consumption and economic activity," said Andre Perfeito, chief economist at Sao Paulo-based Gradual Investimentos, in a telephone interview on Friday.
By providing extra stimulus, the easing of credit restrictions makes it less likely that policy makers will step up the pace of interest rate cuts this month, Perfeito said. Traders are split on whether the central bank will cut the benchmark Selic rate by 0.50 or 0.75 percentage point at their Nov 29-30 policy meeting, according to Bloomberg estimates based on interest rate futures contracts.
The central bank's move comes as President Dilma Rousseff's government debates whether to repeal other credit restrictions imposed over the last year, on fears that the economy could slip into recession, an official familiar with the talks said last week. In April, the Finance Ministry doubled to 3 percent the so-called IOF tax on consumer credit. Finance Minister Guido Mantega said last week that Brazil is bold enough to use all the tools at its disposal to prevent Europe's debt crisis from spreading to the country.
Central bank President Alexandre Tombini reduced borrowing costs at each of the bank's last two board meetings, citing a "substantial deterioration" in the global economy.
Capital Requirements
The monetary authority's new rules allow banks to reduce the amount of capital the set aside for some loans with shorter maturities, while requiring them to increase provisions on some other loans with maturities that exceed 60 months. Banks are required to set aside capital of between 8.25 percent and 33 percent depending on the risk level of a loan, the bank said in its statement.
"The measures clearly aim to reduce pressures on individuals' disposable income, which were mounting with inflation and the slowdown in the economy," Carlos Firetti, an analyst at Banco Bradesco SA, wrote in a note to clients. The measures may also stoke inflation, Firetti wrote.
Total outstanding credit surged 19.6 percent in September from a year earlier, led by a 47 percent jump in mortgage credit. The default rate on consumer loans has risen continually this year, to 6.8 percent in September, from 5.7 percent at the start of the year, even as unemployment has remained close to record lows.
The central bank's credit curbs contributed to a spike in interest rates charged to consumers, which rose to an average of 45.7 percent in September, from 39.4 percent a year earlier.
'Prudential Character'
The central bank cut capital requirements for auto loans with maturities of less than 5 years, which could make it easier for consumers to access credit for car purchases.
Vehicle sales in Brazil fell to 280,567 units in October, down 7.5 percent from a year earlier and 10 percent less than in September.
The bank maintained at 15 percent the monthly minimum payment required on credit card loans. The bank said the adjustments are of a "prudential character" and are aligned with its mission of improving regulation of the financial system.
Brazil's car industry, the world's fifth-largest, is dominated by Wolfsburg, Germany-based Volkswagen AG, Turin, Italy's Fiat SpA and Detroit-based General Motors Co., which control about two-thirds of the market between them.
Brazil's economy has been showing signs of slowing in recent weeks. Industrial production contracted 2 percent in September, the second-biggest fall since the decline that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in 2008. Inflation slowed in October for the first time in 14 months, to 6.97 percent. The central bank targets inflation of 4.5 percent, plus or minus two percentage points.

I have thought about blogging this all day and decided that it is something that I needed to do. It is cathartic to write it down and I am also hoping that these thanks makes it back to the officers that were involved. **********************
Today marks one year since the day I was held at gunpoint in the Michael's parking lot. One year since Officer Junkin defended himself against my perpetrator. One year since the life of that criminal ended.
I can't help but think about that night. Those memories are a real part of me and are embedded in my brain forever.

I know that when you have lost faith in local elected officials that you can just vote them out the next election. But what can be done to demand change before an election?
Our County Government has many problems. One of which it their belief that the citizens of this county are the "cash cows" for their spending wishes.
I am sure that we wouldn't mind the ocassional tax increase for special projects. But we would expect for our money to be spent wisely. The layout for one portion of the Bluffton Parkway proves that OUR money is not being spent wisely.

The Bluffton Police Cheif has said that he is willing to address any issues from the ppl of Bluffton.
Why not give the Chief his own forum? I am sure that he is very busy and it would be easy for him to address the problems or questions if they were always in one place. It would also be easy for us to find answers without having to review old blogs.
Just an idea.

There have been a few blogs here that talk about how the main media outlets are biased. They are accused of either being too far to the left or too far to the right.
This brings me to a question (ok, actually a couple of questions)...What is responsible reporting? Is what we see on TV or read in the newspapers really NEWS? or has the news just become a collection of opinions that the media outlet has chosen to highlight.

There seems to be a lot of discussion about what the most important campaign issues will be for our next Presidential election. The people that are leading this discussion is the media. It appears to me that the media seems to determine what we get to hear about.
What issues would you like to see addressed by the nominees? And how would you like to see those issues addressed?

I have just noticed that MadHatter hasn't had anything to say in a very long time. We have had discussions about terrorism, the horrible job that the president has done, etc. And we have heard nothing. These are things that he would normally have plenty to say...
Is Madhatter actually MAD?

Comfort food that is!
I remember standing in a chair as I watched my great grandmother making homemade biscuits. I remember the day that she taught me how to make them. I loved the feel of dough in my hands as I shaped each one.
Southern food is known as comfort food. I think one of the reasons for that is because of the memories that are also tied to the food.
In the south, meal time is more than a time to nourish your body. It is an experience! (don't understand?

I have some regrets in my life, like I am sure that you all do. (except for OW...who is perfect, LOL) My biggest regret is not trying harder in school. I often wonder what I would have become if I had just focused more on learning and less on making friends and trying to get boys to like me. Because I know that I can not go back and do it over, I can try to make sure that my kids do not repeat my mistakes.
What would you do over if you could?

Overcome depression nowOur Latest book |
I am afraid of the future By M.Farouk Radwan, MSc.
I am afraid of the futureI am afraid of the future Even though we might not be saying these phrases directly but we sometimes feel every word of them. How many times have you worried about your future or felt afraid of it? Just like any other emotion, fear is just a message that your mind is sending you in order to motivate you to take a certain action. If you responded to the message quickly it will disappear but if you didn't its intensity will increase until it will become unbearable. (see Why do we feel bad) Why do we fear the futureSuppose that you were on your way to meet two close friends. Will you feel anxious or afraid of the meeting? Of course you won't but what if you were going to deliver a presentation in front of 100 persons that you don't know, won't you be afraid? Yes you will only be afraid if you have doubts about your ability to handle the presentation. We fear the future when we have doubts about our ability to handle future events. In the first instance this might look like something that is out of our hands but on careful observation you will find that we fear the future because we ignore getting prepared on intention. For example if you are afraid not to find a job then this means that you feel that you are not that prepared for the job market. In order to kill that fear you must take actions that help you become reassured that you are well prepared (like taking additional courses, learning new skills, writing a good CV....etc) Why do our fears of the future growThe main reason people remain afraid of the future is that they never dare to respond to their fears by taking actions but instead they ignore the warnings and try to forget about them. As long as you ignore the sources of your fears your subconscious mind will let them grow in order to draw your attention to them once again. You don't need a miracle to get rid of the fear of the future but you just need to:
Getting rid of the fear of the future is no rocket science, become brave enough to listen to your fears then take powerful actions to reassure yourself that you can handle them. 2knowmysef is not a complicated medical website nor a boring online encyclopedia but rather a place where you will find simple, to the point and effective information that is backed by psychology and presented in a simple way that you can understand and apply.

As nice as some fillers might be, they are still just fillers….
1st filler that didnot went bad at all ^^
Oh well, it's always fun to watch an episode of Flashbackruto Fillerpudden-
It makes sense why itachi was bound to protect the leaf…..
Whoaaa that was the most Epic filler ever!!!!!!
Danzo really is a prick
Only 2-3 filler episodes left in the entire year.
Ninjas are bloody hardcore!
It show every thing like how did Itachi got mangenkyou sharingan
Or how he got shisuis eye on he's crow -
people saying fillers, are dumb its explaining y itachi killed his clan which is very vital to the story line and most so called filler are very important
Fillers are episodes that are not in the original manga. If you had read the manga instead of calling people 'stupid' you would already know that Shishui had given his last eye to Itachi, and you would know that Itachi was led to choose Konoha over his own clan. All they did was put what we already knew in pictures.
Therefore : it is still a filler that does not bring any extra information to the plot.
people saying fillers, are dumb its explaining y itachi killed his clan which is very vital to the story line and most so called filler are very important.
I for one I'm happy to see what happened in the past- it clears everything up. I really dont mind the fillers. I wish they would make fillers about the Akatsuki and how all the members got join or how they were chosen, etc- that would be fun to watch. ^^
oh yea im itachi im totally ok that u took my best friend's eye and basically tried to kill him, Danzo, no big deal, no worries… -__- yea danzo isnt getting punished… rofl…
I'm actually content with them covering some of the holes left in the story… filler or not, you don't have to plan everything ahead of time for it to be a success. Improvisation could be just as fulfilling, and I'm pretty happy with the past couple of episodes
This is what a filler should be. Fill in the holes. We can now understand why Itachi did what he did. Without this knowledge it was hard to understand why he would kill his parents. Danzo was more of a treat than the Uchia clan.

While the taste of mint juleps, the sight of flashy hats, and the sounds of top-flight thoroughbred racing seem synonymous with a trip to Louisville for the Kentucky Derby, those south Floridian racing fans unable to make the trip north for this year's "Run for the Roses" can treat their senses to similar delights as Calder Casino & Race Course hosts "Florida's Biggest Kentucky Derby Party" on Saturday, May 5.
In addition to a full afternoon of live racing, with first post at 12:55 p.m., Calder will offer a plethora of dining, entertainment, and simulcast wagering options throughout the day, leading right up to the 138th running of the Kentucky Derby, scheduled to go off at approximately 6:24 p.m.
The racing action won't be limited to equines, as a full field of media celebrities will assemble on the Calder main track for the inaugural "Calder Media Foot Race for Charity," a 100-yard dash from the starting gate to the finish wire in which each media celebrity is competing on behalf of a chosen charity. Calder will make a $2,500 donation to each media celebrity's chosen charity.
High-end dining choices will be available in two locations on Derby Day, with the fifth-floor Turf Club presenting an extravagant "Buffet of Derby Classics" from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. for just $37.95, and the Clubhouse dining area on the fourth floor offering a buffet as well for $25. Advance reservations for both dining rooms are highly recommended.
For those racing fans looking to enjoy a more casual food and drink experience, the trackside area at Calder will feature an afternoon of live music, succulent barbecue, and all-day drink specials, including mint juleps. There will also be a Derby Hat contest, with great prizes awarded for these categories: Most Stylish, Most Unique, Biggest, and Best Overall.
And for those fans coming out to Calder strictly to handicap and bet on the races, full-card simulcast wagering will be available on the entire stakes-laden Churchill Downs program, along with a day of live racing at Calder, and full-card simulcasting from other racing venues across North America.
General parking and admission to Calder Casino & Race Course are free. Again, reservations for the Turf Club and for Clubhouse dining on Kentucky Derby Day are highly encouraged. Reserved box seating packages are also available. For more information, or to make reservations, call (305) 625-7227.
Calder Casino & Race Course, located on South Florida's Miami-Dade / Broward county line, offers gaming action with over 1,200 slot machines in the Calder Casino, Thoroughbred horse racing during two consecutive meets, year-round simulcasting, and live poker games in Studz Poker Club.

When Men Say 'I'll Call You'
One thing you can usually depend on with men (other than leaving the toilet seat up), is that you can take our words at face value. Our speech is primarily goal-oriented and our words can be taken literary. One important example to the contrary, however, is the phrase, "I'll call you." On the surface, this phrase sounds simple enough: Three little words that seem to promise a future interaction. But the truth is, more often than not, when uttered by a guy at the close of a first date, all they really mean is "good-bye."
So why do guys break with their usual direct (some might call blunt) language usage and opt for a pleasantry that is intentionally misleading, and has left more than a few women wondering if their phone service, hearing, or understanding of the English language is faulty? The answer may surprise you. It is primarily because the end of a date is a particularly stressful time for men, and we're looking for an exit line that is both brief and vaguely upbeat. "I'll call you," fills the bill to a "t."
You see, for a man, the end of a date is the culmination of a serious amount of effort on his part. First he had to risk rejection to ask you out. Then he had to spend the evening trying to impress you with his wit, intelligence, charm and accomplishments, while avoiding alienating you with his opinions, arrogance, poor conversational skills or lack of proper table etiquette. He wants to make sure everything goes right so at the end of the evening your clothing will magically melt away and the two of you will be joined in a sweaty, undulating mass of ecstatically-intertwined flesh, knowing all the while that, at best, he'll likely have to settle for a little tongue and a quick feel. But he is also aware that he may fall far short of his goal. His attempt to initiate physical interaction may subject him to rejection, ridicule or being seriously laughed at. Or, horror of horrors, when he goes in for a lip lock, you might shift the target at the last moment causing him the ultimate humiliation – a close encounter with your cheek.

Help design a kitchen with more cabinet space
Hello All,
I am desperate for a kitchen remodel for an old 1960's home that recently purchased. But I am lost as to how to rearrange the appliances or peninsula to obtain more storage space and a pantry (if possible). current kitchen has very minimal cabinet space if the cabinets above the range are removed. And there is no pantry as well.
So please suggest how to remodel this 88" X 141" kitchen. The other side of the picture (opposite to sink) is a load bearing wall, so cannot move it and neither does it have any shelving.
Kindly suggest,
You can have glass uppers above the range like this (Maybe not the one reaching the counter but the short ones).
Instead of a counter overhang you can have shallow cabs on the other side of the peninsula. A combination of 9-12' shelves on the load bearing wall may help. Also toe kick drawers may give you additional storage and under sink drawers can be considered.
I'd recommend a small sink base. I believe you can fit a 20x20 sink and in a 24" sink base. My big bowl is 20x 15 3/4, and I'm fine with it. I always lived with 24" cooktops/ovens, I think that can work for you too in this kitchen.
If you are tall and don't expect to sell the house in the near future you can have cabs taller than 36" to give you a few more inches of storage.
I believe frameless cabs will give you more storage and use drawers wherever possible.
Lazy susans are terrific...if you can turn both corners into lazy susans that will add a lot of storage.
I would move the fridge to the wall opposite the sink, even if it meant you had to walk around it to pass through the space...flank it with cabinetry on either side, angled if necessary, and then move the cooktop to where the fridge is now and then eliminate the uppers over the penninsula. To make this work better, perhaps consider narrowing and moving the doorway opening down some to make room for cabinetry around the fridge.
This post was edited by AnnieDeighnaugh on Thu, Dec 26, 13 at 9:42
Post a measured layout from overhead. Include the adjacent rooms, all openings and where they are to etc.
Right away, I'd want to know what's across the aisle other than a wall. Because I'd move the fridge there in a heartbeat and put the range on the back wall. Then maybe do an island instead of a peninsula, but it depends on the actual measurements of the space. There's a lot of storage to be had with modern cabinets, but first you have to fix the layout.
Our 1939 home's last kitchen remodel was in 1957. One of the primary areas I see we can improve the amount of cabinet space with our future remodel is in maximizing the use of the depth of the cabinets. I presume, like our kitchen, the cabinets you have have cabinet doors and getting to the back of the shelves is hard and so that space is under utilized. Having pull outs will definitely help you maximize the depth of the your cabinet space. I anticipate this alone will give us 1/3 more space on our lower cabinets. Lazy susan's too as someone mentioned above can improve useful space.
Our kitchen is on the small side and one of the things I've also done is to go through all our kitchen/cooking items and things I haven't used in the past year go downstairs in the canning closet. It's amazing how many extra wooden spoons and other items I was able to get 'rid' of. The great thing is that if/when I need them (that fish spatula did get resurrected!) that I can just go downstairs and get it. It's been a great way to use the space we have and to improve the function of the kitchen with less clutter. Just a thought.
As an aside, we bought our house 1.5 years ago. If you can work in the kitchen for awhile before remodeling I'd highly recommend it. It's interesting how my ideas for the kitchen have changed over time as I work in it and think about how I use it. Good luck!
Are you looking to do a full remodel ? Or just trying to get the best use you can out of what you have ?
Agree request above. Please draw your layout and write in all of the measurements. You can print out graph paper at http://www.printablepaper.net/. If possible, draw a layout of the entire first floor of the home drawn to scale and post that to this thread. Then also scan in a closeup of just the kitchen area of your drawing.
Also, please try to keep everything in one thread. Multiple threads get way too confusing for us all.
You could greatly benefit by spending several hours reading the following thread and clicking through to the links in the thread and reading those. There is a section in that thread with instructions on how to ask for layout help and what we need to be able to help you. http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/kitchbath/msg0722221917955.html
Hi All,
I have narrowed down to 2 lay out options, based on discussion with my contractor for the kitchen design. With few added feet to the kitchen. Now the kitchen dimension would be 88 x 164 (about 7' x 13'). I am inclined to an L shaped kitchen (but was told that island would no be possible) where as hubby is inclined to a U shaped kitchen with peninsula containing the slide in stove and hood hanging over it. The kichen flows into the family room in this 1960s ranch style home. I have attached the tentative layout pics and dimensions can be seen in one of the pics. I am not sure how good L shaped kitchen of this size would look like with out an island, but also concerned that if a peninsula exists then will it feel too crowded when a 3 seater couch and coffee table are put in the family room. Kindly suggest.
This is the U shaped design that my hubby is inclined. Please suggest. We ordered a samsung refrigerator that us 36" deep and 36" wide, so sceptical as well if that would look too big and more protruding out in the U shaped lay out. Also, we are planning to go with maple color cabinets
We also looked at similar layout in neighbourhood and it looked nice with counter depth fridge, cherry cabinets and a dining table in family room. But how wil it look with a 3 seat couch? will it look more full? I want to have open feeling than cluttered?
I'd prefer the L kitchen. Maybe you can have a small island/work table on casters you can park somewhere across the L when not in use, to give you more work space.
Perhaps not in the budget or possible, but did you consider moving the DR door to the right and have a galley kitchen?
What fabulous big windows! Taking down the cabinets over the existing peninsula will really bring that light into the family room.
What's behind the wall opposite the windows?
I don't like the range on the peninsula at all, and I think the fridge against the dining room wall would really close in the corner, so I vote for the L-shape. To maximize storage, I'd use an under-cabinet range hood (nice space above). Will you exhaust through the roof?
A rolling table that can park against the wall will add a lot of prep space. And the big pantry in the L-shape seems to give you a lot more useable storage than you would get from a second corner, though one would have to do the math to be sure.
I'm not sure I " get" how #2 relates to what I see in # 1. What comes after the stools in the peninsula...the rest of the family room?
If I understand the layout differences between the two designs, I like the refrigerator placement in #2 to eliminate a 36" plus 2" air space in back of the refrigerator (design 1) sticking out into the combined room space. I do not think I would like the refrigerator sticking out a possible 38 inches the way it would in #1, but I do not like the stove placement in #2 with a peninsula. I would put the stove area where the refrigerator is in design #1 and keep the pantry cabinet the depth of the lower cabinets. I have no clue about how well those changes would make the kitchen function as far as appliance placement, landing zones, etc. since I do not visualize that aspect of kitchen design well. The visual difference between a counter-depth and the refrigerator you ordered makes the refrigerator placement of design 1 a problem for me.

Hello, neighbor! I suppose you're wondering what this is, well it's just about me. Sorry to disappoint.
I'm a senior at Missouri State University in Springfield, MO, studying Software Development. I've been programming for about a year and a half now, mostly in Ruby and Ruby on Rails. I love web programming, which is why I've decided to build this site for some extra practice. Here's a list of everything I've gotten my hands on so far:
I've spent the last year and a half working with Linux and deploying to CentOS and Ubuntu machines. This is my first personal server, so let's see if we can't have some fun! To cut to the chase, I'm a Vim-er, Vim-anatic.... Vim-inite......I like Vim. If I could Vim in every place of manual text-entry, I absolutely would. Speaking of text-entry, I'm also very much into documentation. Having just recently entered the IT scene, I remember how confusing and frustrating it is to jump into all this nonsense with absolutely no direction at all! Therefore, I work hard to make sure my code speaks for itself, but still provide very descriptive documents on my works. Perhaps this is why I love Ruby so much, because the language is pure bliss, as far as reading is concerned. If you haven't looked into Ruby before, seriously go check it out. And if you have heard of it before and for some reason don't like it, yeah...you should just leave now, cuz it only gets worse...
Other random hobbies include:
Yeah...for now, that's all I got. Come back soon and I'll like have a blog set up or something. In the meantime, go look at some cool things down there, yo!
Maybe we'll try to do some cool PHP stuff, like on my page counter!
