You want stress? We've got it, brother. And we've got it on every front. Injuries, whiskey, rusty goaltending and a very dangerous reality tied to road sadness.
If the playoffs started today…golf would follow and it would follow quickly. Lidstrom's alleged "bone bruise" is reason enough to sink us early, but when you consider everything else providence has foisted upon us and ten games seems like a split second. I'd venture to say that this is the first time any of us have looked at a March schedule and wished for another dozen or so games. The mood in the Hasek is sour, my friends.
Ten games isn't enough time to fix the wrongs that should have been addressed on February 28th. Ten games isn't going to cure the worst power play we've seen since pre-Yzerman. Ten games won't teach this team how to win on the road. And ten games might not even be enough time to remind the Wings how invincible they were for 23 home games that seem like five years ago.
But there is light, oh yes there is. A glimmer, faint and flickering. But a light it is because there is still all that teasing, tantalizing talent. A turnaround can happen. Health can improve. Somehow, some way, the pucks can go in when they should. It can happen because we've seen it. We've seen them at their best. But, holy hell…it's got to happen soon.
Confidence is a wacky, dangerous motherfucher of a drug. It'll make your head spin and give you wicked, menacing powers when you've got it. But, when it's gone…drink up and drink early. This team has got to find it before the Stress-ex begins. It's going to take a trigger. A game for the ages, a wreck the season of a "rival" type performance. Not a gimmick, but a statement. Not a shootout, dammit. A win. Something convincing and obscene. A powerful, graceful, dangerous reminder of the possible.
It's a Live Blog, bitches. For all that is pure and holy in this disaster of a post trade-deadline freefall, it's a Sunday Live Blog, a St. Patty's Day Live Blog and a communal prayer to the adorable one that he finally lets our team come out and play.

What a fuchin joke. Imagine if Homer went in to Niemi like that? Would have been the quickest whistle of all-time. Not to mention Kronner taking a headshot and Flip getting blatantly tripped. There you happy refs? Congrats, Sharks win, they still won't make the playoffs.

Now God has substantial leg injury, more tomorrow. At best he may be able to return in good health for the first round of the playoffs.
Lidstrom is now farther away from returning than the day after his injury.

> Question for the group: Why does Olivia have a 7.22 dB crest factor?
The symbols in Olivia are shaped. See
Tomi Manninen / OH2BNS / KP20JF74 - Hmmmm. Interesting finding. I am using a Creative Labs CT4750 ($29.00
US) which produces aproximately 1.25 volts peak output. It is designed
to drive amplified speakers, no power amp on board. These boards are
equal to the SB-64, but no speaker driver.
The board was set up to sample at 11025. The single tone distortion is
less than .005% per my HP334A distortion analyzer. Using 2 tones, and an
CT Systems audio spectrum analyzer (NOT FFT), set up with 10 Hz
bandwidth and 100 second sweep my only artifacts are anti-aliasing
errors that are just at -54dB. The dynamic range of this spec-an is
limited to 60 dB. Can not see any IMD within the audio passband of 10 to
8000 hz. The ailising errors are all above 18Khz.
BTW, I did these tests to proof these boards for a project for the US
Army. My samples are all date coded 8/27/04 and the quantity tested is
5. I also tested 3 onboard soundcards using the ASUS P4VP-MX
motherboards. These are Realtek ALC655 sound decoders. My findings there
were very comprable, though the output level max was slightly lower (1.1
Vpeak) The single tone distortion is .007% and the IMD just shows up at
-63 dB. There was no visible anti-aliasing errors.
In all tests, the termination of 600 Ohms was in place, and no
transformer is used between the HP334A and the computer. The case of the
PC was connected to my system ground, and the HP334A was floated which
minimized overall noise. The audio spectrum analyzer was connected to
the output of the HP334A, and also the TERM was engaged on the spec-an.
The test audio was derived from a testfile (SNDTSTxx.WAV) that I have
that comes from a NAB broadcast CD aquired a few years ago. It has
several files at various frequencies, 400Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz etc.
single tone. It also has a two-tone test file of 1030 Hz and 900. Note
that these files are WAV files and not just playing through the CD
output. I get the same whether I play the sound files from the CD or
from the hard drive.
I did no tests recording the audio, so can not comment on that. If I get
some time I will set up a PC with one of these and do some tests on the
recording input. Would be interesting.
Hope this helps you.

- Thank you Craig and Rand.
Indeed, one more consideration!
Gary Croft
Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2005 10:14:00 -0700 (PDT)
From: Rand African Art <rand@...> Add To
Address Book
Subject: Re: [African_Arts] Re: Cleaning of pieces
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
Hi Gary,
I also agree with what Craig says. Wood shrinks and cracks
for many different reasons, but the most common reason is
drying out which can come from age or climate changes. From
what I have read, it will usually take a piece of wood 2 to
3 years to adjust to climate and conditions. As a piece
moves from a humid climate to a drier climate you are more
likely to see newer cracks on the piece as the piece dries
out and the wood shrinks, no matter how old the piece is.
I have also seen many newer pieces that have been
represented as having "age cracks" when the piece has cracks
on it, and this is probably the result of a common
misconception that wood only cracks when it is old, or maybe
people don't know what to call those cracks besides calling
them "age cracks"?
I think that cracks in the wood are an important factor in
guessing how old a piece may be if it is not documented. I
think you have to look at the overall cracks on a piece and
look inside them, look at the shrinking and use your
observations in making a determination. If all of the cracks
look like what you would expect from a piece of wood that
has recently cracked then it is most likely the piece is
newer, the opposite would also be true.
A lot of museums keep pieces in climate controlled
environments at a specific humidity, but a lot of galleries
and collectors don't. I have bought pieces from generally
humid climates, and the pieces were generally old, but when
I get them back to dry Colorado I will notice that after a
period of time an old crack will sometimes start to open up
a little more revealing a fresher looking crack. In this
case, 98% of the cracks on the piece look old and have
appropriate shrinkage you would see on an older piece, but
then you have that one newer crack that was caused by a
climate change.
I still don't think you can use this as the only factor in
determining age, but I think it can be helpful in a lot of
instances. I haven't been able to find any good resources on
this topic, but if I do I will be sure to post them.

Ezra Klein criticizes Social Security supporters for being reluctant to have Social Security reform taken up by Congress at the moment. He argues that Social Security and the retirement system more generally could be restructured to better serve the bulk of the country's workers. Klein notes the fears of Social Security supporters that this could open the door to serious cuts and then responds to these fears, "this country is better than that."
Of course that is true, but also irrelevant. Social Security enjoys overwhelming support from the public. Polls repeatedly show that people across the political spectrum strongly support the program and would even be willing to pay higher taxes to protect the program, but the public as a whole will not directly decide the program's fate.
Congress and the president will decide the future of the program. These politicians live in a world where a willingness to cut Social Security is routinely referred to as a sign of seriousness. Those who do not support cuts are taunted as being unrealistic and weak. Politicians who want to protect the program can expect much less campaign funding from business groups and ridicule from the media.
We know that arithmetic is not the strong suit of the Washington Post and Robert Samuelson drives this point home again today with his discussion of the TARP. Samuelson tells us that TARP is now projected to cost just $19 billion and that the final cost may actually be lower. He also tells us that the alternative to TARP, bank nationalization would have been far more costly. And, he said that without TARP the unemployment rate "would be 11 percent or 14 percent; it certainly wouldn't be 8.9 percent."
Okay, let's take these in turn. First, the idea that the TARP cost almost nothing is based on some very shoddy accounting. Samuelson apparently does not understand the idea of money carrying an opportunity cost.
Suppose the government lent me $1 trillion for 10 years at 1 percent annual interest. In the Robert Samuelson world, the government is earning a $100 billion profit on this investment ($10 billion a year for 10 years). Economists familiar with opportunity costs would instead see this as a huge loss to the government, since it is giving me an enormous loan at an interest rate that is several percentage points below the market rate.
We saw how this worked with the TARP when Warren Buffett reported earning twice the money on his investment in Goldman Sachs which was half of the size of the investment from Treasury. Buffett got the market rate of return on his investment, the difference was a subsidy from taxpayers to the shareholders and executives of Goldman. The same story was true with the other TARP loans, as well as the even larger amount of money lent through the Fed as well as the guarantees provided by the FDIC.
Paul Krugman added another post on the potential impact of large deficits on the U.S. economy in which he argues that it doesn't matter that the U.S. can print its own currency; it still faces the same constraints from financial markets. I would argue that it matters a great deal for two reasons that I laid out in my previous post.
The first reason is that at any point in time the Fed would have the option to intervene in bond markets and buy up debt, if private investors were demanding very high interest rates. This is important because the decision by the Fed to not buy debt would always be a policy choice, not an economic fact.
There is a popular mythology in economic policy circles that in 1979 there was no alternative to putting Paul Volcker in as chair of the Federal Reserve Board to really tighten the screws and get inflation under control. At the time inflation was rising and the dollar was falling. Volcker sent rates through the roof, giving us the recessions of 1980 (destroying Carter's re-election chances) and then 1981-82. The latter recession was at the time the worst of the post-war era.
Volcker is widely touted for making the tough call to throw millions of people out of work. (Somehow rich and powerful people are always credited with being "tough" when they inflict pain on ordinary workers and the poor. It seems that if they were really tough they would be inflicting pain on the rich.) Arguably Volcker made the right call even though it did impose enormous costs on the country.
This is what readers of his column presenting a hypothetical presidential address to the country in 2026 must be wondering. In this speech, Mr. Mankiw's president explains to the country how the rising cost of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid let to unsustainable deficits. Of course Mr. Mankiw's president knows that the real story is the explosive growth of the costs of Medicare and Medicaid. These were in turn driven by the soaring cost of private sector health care. If per person costs in the United States were the same as in other wealthy countries then the United States would be looking at a budget surplus, not a deficit.
Given the basic facts, it is hard to understand why Mankiw's president did not propose a system that allowed the United States to take advantage of trade in medical services by letting Medicare beneficiaries buy into the more efficient health care systems in other countries. The tens of thousands of dollars in annual saving could be split between the beneficiaries, the host government and the U.S. government. The total savings to the U.S. government would reach hundreds of billions of dollars each year.
If Mankiw's president were not such a protectionist then surely she would have pushed for such a policy long before this speech. Opening to trade certainly seems preferable to cutting off health insurance to middle income beneficiaries, as Mankiw's president proposed.
The Post made yet another effort to attack public sector employees today in an editorial (this one is on its editorial page) that criticized the rate of return assumptions used by public pension plans. It tells readers that:
"Eighty-eight of the 126 largest public pension plans assume a rate of return exceeding 8 percent a year, according to the Wall Street Journal. By way of comparison, the S&P 500 achieved a compound average annual growth rate of 5.69 percent over the past 20 years."
Okay, get your calculators out boys and girls. If I look up the value of the S&P 500 for March 1991 I get 375.22. The S&P closed yesterday at 1313.8. This gives a compounded annual rate of return of 6.46 percent.
But wait, we have to share a little secret with the folks who write editorials for the Washington Post: stocks pay dividends. Dividends are typically paid out quarterly and usually average 3-4 percent of the stock price. If we add in dividend yields, then we would get an average return over the last 20 years in the 9-10 percent range that is assumed by pension funds in their analysis.
Of course returns going forward will depend on the current ratio of stock prices to corporate earnings. This is around 15 today (measured against trend earnings) compared to about 20 in 1991, suggesting that the prospects going forward over the next 20 years are likely better than they were back in 1991.
It is especially ironic to see these misplaced warnings about excessive stock return assumptions in the Washington Post. This is a paper that for years featured the columns of James K. Glassman, the co-author of Dow 36,000. At the time, it had no room in the paper for those of us who tried to warn of the risks of the stock bubble.
It does not happen often, but it does happen; I have to disagree with Paul Krugman this morning. In an otherwise excellent column criticizing the drive to austerity in the United States and elsewhere, Krugman comments:
"But couldn't America still end up like Greece? Yes, of course. If investors decide that we're a banana republic whose politicians can't or won't come to grips with long-term problems, they will indeed stop buying our debt."
Actually this is not right for the simple reason that the United States has its own currency. This is important because even in the worst case scenario, where the deficit in United States spirals out of control, the crisis would not take the form of the crisis in Greece.
Greece is like the state of Ohio. If Ohio has to borrow, it has no choice but to persuade investors to buy its debt. Unless Greece leaves the euro (an option that it probably should be considering, at least to improve its bargaining position), it must pay the rate of interest demanded by private investors or meet the conditions imposed by the European Union/IMF as part of a bailout.
However, because the United States has its own currency it would always have the option to buy its own debt. The Federal Reserve Board could in principle buy an unlimited amount of debt simply by printing more money. This could lead to a serious problem with inflation, but it would not put us in the Greek situation of having to go hat in hand before the bond vigilantes.
This appears to be the case, since the Post featured an article, arguing that Social Security benefits should be cut, that made no reference to the the trust fund. The article tells readers:
"Social Security is the single largest federal program, dispensing about $700 billion last year to nearly 60 million people, the vast majority of them retirees. Since the program's creation in 1935, the cost of Social Security benefits has been entirely covered by payroll taxes paid by current workers. This year, however, payroll tax revenues are projected to fall $45 billion short of covering benefits, and the problem is projected to grow as the number of retirees balloons compared with the number of working adults."
Actually, there have been prior years when current taxes did not cover benefits, but more importantly the program quite deliberately built up a surplus of more than $2.6 trillion, which is held in U.S. government bonds. It is drawing on the interest from these bonds in 2011. It will eventually rely on the principle on these bonds, which will be sufficient, together with current taxes, to cover all benefits through the year 2037.
In his blog today, Floyd Norris notes an unprecedented divergence between the trends in existing home sales and new home sales. He points out that existing home sales have held up reasonably well, while new home sales are down by more than 75 percent from their bubble peak.
While this is largely true (Core Logic and real estate analyst Keith Jurow have noted an upward bias in the realtors' data on existing home sales) this gap is also entirely predictable given the rise and fall of the housing bubble. New homes are the mechanism that adjusts supply and demand. When prices went through the roof during the run-up of the bubble, builders rushed to build new homes so that they could profit from the extraordinarily high prices. As a result, we had near record rates of new construction from 2002-2006.
However, once the bubble burst and prices began to tumble, there was little reason to build new homes. A large supply of homes for sale and falling prices makes building new homes an unprofitable venture. The price that builders can expect to receive is on average more than 30 percent less than it was at the peak of the bubble and they are likely to have to wait a long period of time before they can even make a sale.
For this reason, it should not be surprising that new home sales have fallen by much more than existing home sales following the collapse of the bubble. They will presumably rise back to a more normal level in the next two or three years, which is likely to mean at least a 100 percent increase from the February level. At that point, we will again be building homes fast enough to replace worn out structures and to meet the needs of a growing population.

Man charged with impersonating Young
A Maryland man was arrested Friday on suspicion of impersonating Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Vince Young in order to pocket appearance fees.
The Prince George's County Police Department announced the arrest of Stephan Pittman of Fort Washington, Md., on its Twitter page. He will face charges of felony fraud in Washington, DC.
Police said the arrest occurred without incident in Temple Hills, Md., which is about 10 miles from the heart of DC.
Earlier this week, EAG Sports Management, which represents Young, said Pittman had been going around the DC area since June claiming to be the former Texas Longhorns star. Pittman allegedly claimed to be collecting money on behalf of the Vince Young Foundation, and visited children in hospitals as part of the scam.
The agency also said Pittman had been "conning unsuspecting women."
"He's running around like he's me saying that he works for the [Vincent Young] Foundation. He's a sex offender, all these types of things, and I want to get out there to the news and everybody in DC to keep watch out for this guy because he's not me and he's out there perpetrating as me," said Young, who first filed a complaint May 1 in his hometown of Houston after being told someone was impersonating him.
"He's already been taking money, taking pictures with little kids at hospitals."
Young, 28, is in his first season with the Eagles serving as the backup to Michael Vick.

The following is a biography of my grandmother, Lum Fong Shee, who travelled from a village in southern China to the United States as a new bride in an arranged marriage. She was 21 years of age when she left, and spent the remainder of her 78 years in California. I call my grandmother's story "Sowing Strength in a Strange Land" because of the personal strength she drew upon, living as an illiterate, non-English speaking woman in a foreign culture and land.

Katherine Kaitak Ma immigrated to the United States in 1985. Growing up in Guangzhou, Katherine and her family worked hard but always felt like there were more opportunities for them elsewhere. "I wanted to do more and live better." said Katherine. Katherine felt limited under the strict regulation of the communist government and decided to move to Hong Kong as a teen. Leaving her family behind, she immigrated to Hong Kong and started a new life for herself. During the time that she was living there, Hong Kong was a temporary colony of the British Empire. In 1997, it would be back under the control of China. Fearing that she would once again be living under the same limitations as those present in her hometown, Katherine considered moving to the United States. |

In 1922, Wong Gin Wing brought his wife Mah Yel Sen from China to the United States. They docked at Angel Island after a 30-day trip from Canton with stopovers in Shanghai, Yokohama, and Honolulu. Entering the United States for the third time with a merchant's passport, Wong Gin Wing was immediately released from Angel Island while Mah Yel Sen was detained. He returned the following day and saw many women crowd the second floor windows of the immigration station, eagerly looking for their arriving mates. Wong Gin Wing and the other husbands, previously freed from the detention center returned, bearing dim sum packages for their still detained spouses on "visiting day." |

The story of the Nakamura brothers of Japan and Reedley, California, is an example of the challenges many Japanese immigrants faced in the U.S. After many challenges, they were both able to establish farming businesses and raise families, only to find their worlds torn apart shortly after Pearl Harbor when both were arrested and sent to a temporary detention center called Sharp Park, near Pacifica, CA. Older brother Mantsuchi was then sent to Fort McDowell at Angel Island and then to Lordsburg and Santa Fe, New Mexico before finally being reunited with his family at Poston, Arizona, while younger brother Sojuro was reunited with his family earlier at Poston, avoiding the U.S. Army and Department of Justice camps where Mantsuchi was sent.

Nakamura, Kiyoye : Kiyoye Nakamura: Picture Bride by Tene Woo Kember Year of Arrival 1918 |
Editor's note: After we posted Tene's article, we received inquiries about the status of Kiyoye Nakamura. Did we know if she was able to land in the United States (this information for some reason was not in her file)? We did some more research and found the good news that it appears that the Nakamuras were listed in the 1930 census in Vacaville, California, with a three year old son, but the sad news that Kiyoye passed away of cancer in Vacaville in 1937. We also found a ship log showing Toragusu returning to the U.S. in 1940, with no listing for his son and can only speculate that he brought his son back to Japan to be raised. |

(Page 1 of 1)
Bayer said today it will proceed with plans to buy Algeta over the next few weeks after its NOK 16.2 billion (about $2.6 billion) bid for shares in the Norwegian biotech surpassed expectations. The deal will unite the German pharma-and-chemical conglomerate with its partner in developing the recently-launched prostate cancer drug Xofigo (alpharadin or radium Ra 223 dichloride).
Bayer said the transfer of Algeta shares, and payout to its shareholders, will occur no later than March 12. In launching its NOK 362 ($59.76) per-share tender offer, Bayer set a minimum acceptance level of 90%, but obtained 97.28% or 42,731,347 shares.
Bayer confirmed its interest in Algeta in November, making an initial $2.4 billion offer that it sweetened a month later.
Following completion of the deal, Bayer would have sole control of Xofigo, which last year was launched in the U.S. following FDA approval, and also won European Commission approval. A Bayer takeover of Algeta will free the pharma giant from having to pay its partner a share of profits and royalties under their up-to-€560 million ($767.8 million) collaboration deal inked in 2009, through which they teamed up to develop Xofigo, an alpha particle emitting radiopharmaceutical delivered once a month via injection. At the time, the companies announced that Algeta had an option for up to 50% co-promotion with Bayer in the United States under a profit-share arrangement.
"We are absolutely convinced of the potential of this drug and the underlying technology to provide patients with innovative treatment options," Bayer CEO Marijn Dekkers said in a statement.
Xofigo is indicated for men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), symptomatic bone metastases and no known visceral metastatic disease. FDA approved Xofigo in June under its priority-review program, allowing decisions up to six months faster on new drugs that appear to provide safe and effective treatment when no other satisfactory treatment exists, or offer a significant improvement over existing treatments.
Algeta is also attractive to Bayer because of its pipeline of radiation therapy candidates. Algeta specializes in developing anticancer therapeutics based on alpha particle emitting radionuclides, whose short range (typically less than 0.1 mm) and high linear energy transfer enables them to be used in molecular targeted radiation of tumors. When selectively delivered to tumor tissue, the alpha particles kill the tumor cells, leaving surrounding normal tissues unharmed.
"This transaction will strengthen our oncology business and support our efforts to provide patients with innovative treatment options. We plan to work together with the Algeta team to leverage the full value of this business," said Olivier Brandicourt, CEO of Bayer HealthCare.
Bayer said Xofigo is expected to generate at least €1 billion (about $1.4 billion) in annual sales "if it receives marketing authorization in further indications." Xofigo is one of five recently-launched treatments Bayer says have combined total peak sales potential of more than €5.5 billion per year.

Brazil car dealers expect weak 2014 sales after 2013 decline
- Tweet
- Share this
SAO PAULO Jan 3 (Reuters) - Brazilian car dealerships on Friday forecast stable or slightly lower sales of new vehicles in 2014 after the pace of registrations fell in 2013 for the first time in 10 years.
Sales of new cars, trucks and buses are likely to hold steady in 2014 but could fall up to 3.5 percent if inflation accelerates or the exchange rate fluctuates widely, national dealership group Fenabrave said.
Rising borrowing costs, disappointing economic growth and fading consumer confidence have been dampening demand in Brazil, the world's fourth-largest auto market.
Sales declined 0.91 percent in 2013 from a year earlier to about 3.767 million vehicles, according to Fenabrave.
The association in August said it expected 2013 sales to expand 1.53 percent from 2012 after President Dilma Rousseff extended tax breaks on locally made cars through the end of the year.
But in December sales fell 1.51 percent from a year earlier to 353,860 cars, though sales were up from November by 16.81 percent.
The economist responsible for compiling Fenabrave's report, Tereza Fernandez of MB Associados, said car sales would likely expand an average 3 percent in Brazil in the next 10 years, well below the 10 percent per year seen in the previous decade.
Several of the world's biggest car makers have invested heavily in Brazilian factories, including Italy's Fiat SpA , Germany's Volkswagen AG, and U.S.-based General Motors Co and Ford Motor Co. The four companies account for more than 70 percent of vehicle sales in Brazil.
Fiat was Brazil's top seller of cars and light trucks in 2013, with 762,950 new registrations, or 21 percent of the market. Volkswagen was second with 666,700 cars sold, while GM sold 649,730 vehicles.

Picture perfect beach, secluded and child friendly
Posted Oct 17, 2014Pros: Staff was outstanding. Could not be more accommodating.
Cons: Rooms and facilities are slightly dated. Air conditioners a bit noisy, paths a bit worn. All more than made up for by natural beauty and staff.
Location: everything you need is at hotel. definitely rent bikes for early morning cruise up and down island. group yoga is gentle
Stayed in sister hotel in Bhutan but had no idea until after we arrived at Parrot Cay. This group has talent for creating Shangri La in isolated places abounding with natural beauty. The accommodating staff is among the best features of this hotel --- constant smiles and eagerness to help. Food is expensive but top notch (difficult to imagine how such exquisite meals are prepared on a tiny island so far from civilization). Surprised to see so many families. All children looked like having fun while also relaxing. Staff was conscious to separate families from couples if that is what you want. Spa was just perfect. Gym is fully stocked and clean. Group yoga/pilates are gentle but challenging with enthusiastic teachers. Perfect 4 day east coast getaway to recharge in midst of winter blues. Beach is among the nicest we have ever seen -- insulted by reef and with powder white sand.

Not a 5 start
Posted Sep 26, 2014 on Hotels.comLIked the COMO room but ...food is average; room smells smoke (and hotel does not have another alternative to offer me despite fact my son is alergic, except going to a standard room when I paid for a front beach room) and would expect broader entertainment options.

Private island paradise
Posted Jun 10, 2014Had an amazing experience with my girlfriend for our birthdays. The resort is secluded and gorgeous on all fronts. The miles of pristine beach are breath taking and scarcely occupied. Great infinity pool and dining with breath taking sunset views. Staff goes above and beyond to please guests and no request is seemingly not accomodated. Fresh Cohibas never hurt either! Great for those looking to relax as well as for tge health conscious. All in close proximity are work out facilities, water sports, yoga, and great spa facilities. Not that the food is too heavy, but there is a lower calorie menu available including juice menu at both restaurants. Food and cocktails (and service) are also excellent; miles above any all inclusive or what you expect in the Caribean. That said, food and drink was a bit pricey: comparable in price to a Michelin 3 star restaurant, but not on that level quality wise. Cost of goods to a private island I guess?? Overall we loved this gem and recommend it highly. Hopefully we will go back in a few years.

Posted May 25, 2014 on Hotels.comThis hotel was dreadful, we booked for a two wk stay and turned round and came back in one day!!! It is complete false marketing, the hotel looks nothing like the pictures... It is so rundown and old and very expensive considering it's so dreadful... When you pay those prices you expect luxury and it was far from it! The plunge pools in the villas were mouldy and old, the rooms spare, not luxurious at all and very old. Truly shocking!!!

Posted Apr 28, 2014Pros: Great beach. Secluded yet easy to get there. Tea time!
Cons: The staff was hit or miss. The staff seemed more professional the first time we visited
Very nice hotel with lots of charm. For the most part very accommodating staff. Great beach.

A Wonderful Experience
Posted Apr 9, 2014Pros: The food and the atmosphere created by the island itself and especially by the staff
Cons: The bathrooms could use a little upgrade but I'm nit-picking
Location: The location is spectacular. There is nothing to do nearby which is why you go here.
Unless expenses are of no concern to you, it might take a day to adjust to the prices ($69 for a ball cap, $23 for a glass of Chardonnay) but once you do, you will truly be in paradise. A secluded, peaceful and healthful experience awaits. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating and all of the food is spectacular. The breakfast is included with your room and is one of the best we've ever experienced. The Shambala menu is both healthy and delicious with an amazing selection of fresh juices. The infinity pool and the beach are equally beautiful although no Wi-Fi is available when on the beach which may be exactly what you want. The fitness center is better than most resorts and the spa is fantastic. We especially enjoyed the complimentary early-morning Yoga on the beach.

Beautiful Hotel and property but...
Posted Apr 4, 2014Pros: We stayed in a suite and it was beautiful and the beach is spectacular.
Cons: I wish there was more advertising on how family oriented the resort is.
Location: There is absolutely nothing to do outside the resort. The whole island only consists of this resort.
I went with my boyfriend at the end of March expecting a relaxing quiet R&R vacation with nothing to do and lots of peace. I figured it was so remote that I would definately accomplish that goal. However; the resort should be called Parrot Kid. There were 65 children there and probably 65 adults as well. They had activities every day for the kids etc... Great place for families, not for couples wanting peace and quiet. The prices for food and alcohol are also obscene and I live in NYC so I'm not easily surprised by high prices.

Mark and Susie Holt's 1920s shabby-chic beach cottage is one of the oldest homes on Casey Key. With the ocean as their front yard, the owners of Posh On Palm, in downtown Sarasota, love to take in the view of the water and the beach.
"Beach life is a whole different world," Susie says. "The second you go over that little bridge and come out here … "
With Susie lost in thought as Tropical Storm Debby sends dark, angry waves flying toward the shore, her husband finishes her sentence.
" … I put my shorts on with the holes in them," Mark says.
When the couple first toured the house, which they purchased just more than one year ago, they wondered if the one-bedroom, one-bath bungalow would be large enough. But, with just a few little design touches, it proved to be much bigger than it seemed.
"People don't fix these up anymore," Mark says. "They tear them down and build mansions, but … "
This time, it's Susie who completes her husband's thought.
" … We love the character of our old little place," she says. "It's a very lazy life."

Reimer continues his play and we have our future goalie and dont have to worry about it.
Plenty of good players picked outside of the top 10. If the Leafs are out of contention, then it's time to sell and finish as low as possible.
Plus, why would Corey Perry/any top UFA for example come to the Leafs if he would be under pressure to help this team make the playoffs? Make the playoffs, get that monkey off our back and UFA's will be more inclined to come.
exactly. I honestly can't believe the amount of fools that think tanking (the high pick) is going to solve any more problems. This board, people hype up prospects to no end. It's as people just want a shiny box of prospects that they can show off, than actually want winning results. I don't care if other teams look like they have shiny prospects, all I care is if they helping the team win. If the Leafs suck again, what progress is actually being made here. It only shows how far we would be and the pieces here are all expendable which I dont' believe is the case. Even if we narowly miss the playoffs or make it as a low seed, we can still pick up a good player at where we pick.

Visa plans to buy online marketing vendor TrialPay
The payment card network says the platform will provide retailers with another way to acquire customers.
Retailers seek new ways to meet shopper demands
The economic downturn forced many retailers to closely scrutinize their fulfillment processes. In fact, 96% of companies that rely on shipping said they made changes to the way they ship goods because of the recession, according to a recent survey of logistics professionals, executives and managers in industries such as retail, aerospace and electronics. Among those changes were switches to less expensive providers and changes to their carrier mix.
But retailers have to be careful about which corners they cut, particularly as consumers increasingly have come to expect to be able to track a package, as well as have fast and either free or cheap delivery, says Nikki Baird, managing partner at consulting firm Retail Systems Research LLC.
That means that the decisions retailers make relating to fulfillment are crucial, particularly as the economy recovers and e-commerce sales grow, she says. To help, retailers are looking to an ever-evolving array of new information technology tools and processes.
Those tools are particularly important as retailers diversify their shipping vendors. Surveys show most retailers use two or more shippers, and large retailers often work with several fulfillment providers.
Systems integration
Fulfillment systems, which can manage retailers' picking, packing and shipping processes, can provide retailers with an intelligent means of navigating what otherwise might be a difficult terrain, regardless of whether they sell only online or through multiple channels, says Baird.
For instance, a sophisticated system is crucial for one multichannel specialty housewares retailer, which Baird did not name, that has shifted its fulfillment process from a dedicated warehouse to its stores.
The retailer divided up its stores by their ability to fulfill orders. In each division the retailer designates one store to serve as the primary fulfillment center, and set aside space in back for the shipping materials needed to process cross-channel orders. If that store doesn't have the inventory required, its system redirects the order to a secondary fulfillment location, and if that store doesn't have it, the system moves on to a third location.
The system also offers consumers choices—they can pick up items in a store or have them shipped, and they can choose how fast they want it delivered, she says. "To me that's the ideal situation," says Baird.
Finding the right system is also important for retailers that take orders online and send them to suppliers that drop-ship to customers. Those retailers' inventory management systems need to interact with suppliers' warehouse management systems, she says. And suppliers must figure out how to provide information on when merchandise will be available, even when working with several retailers with disparate systems. "It's a real challenge," says Baird, "particularly for those retailers that have become a major enterprise."
International growth
A growing number of retailers are also facing the challenge of finding an efficient means of shipping to overseas customers.
To deal with those issues some retailers are working with fulfillment vendors that have overseas warehouses. Shipping from a European warehouse to a European address not only costs a fraction of the cost to shop from the U.S., it also gets items to shoppers more quickly.
Some retailers partner with a vendor that takes over international shipping, often at no cost to the retailer. These vendors provide international shoppers with a U.S. address they can provide to the U.S. retailers. The vendor then takes receipt of the merchandise at the U.S. location and ships it to the consumer, charging a fee to the shopper.
With new and sophisticated fulfillment technology, retailers have a real chance to improve the online shopping experience, says Baird. "A positive fulfillment experience can have real implications for future sales," she says.

"an awesome story"
There are two types of reviewers that drive me insane. The firsttype are the ones who constantly complain about the character development, and the second type are those reviewers who complain about the narator. You will run into these complaints further down the list of this book's reviews. To answer the first complaint, the characters in this book have decent development. You don't know about their thoughts on the meening of life or their opinions about the social issues of the day, but they are developed enough to keep the story going. Not only was the character development good, the system of magic was extremely creative and well thought out. Now to answer the second complaint. I thought the narator did a good job with this book. I don't understand why people are so picky about every little flaw the narator might have. It seems to me that people should be happy with the fact that someone took time out of their day to read an audiobook for the blind. If no one narated these audiobooks, you would have to listen to a synthisized voice. If you thought this narator was bad, you should listen to a book narated by a synthisized voice. Overall, this book is a good read and I would reccomend this book to anyone.
"It's a historical comedy"
Really, the title and the discription of the book says it all. This book is history as told by a comedian. I personally think it's a nice change from the stuffy history books that I am used to. Some other reviewers complain that the humor is stupid and immiture. I admit that this humor is not for everyone,The author uses a lot of exageration comedy when it comes to talking about the people in this book. If you are in high school or college and want to read an interesting and funny history book, then this is the book for you.

Rockford man featured in Mitchell Airport campaign
Milwaukee's General Mitchell International Airport (MKE) is set to launch a new ad campaign featuring its customers, including Rockford resident Greg Galen. A Fluidmaster, Inc., sales manager who flies about 20 times per year, Galen recently entered and won the grand prize in MKE's "That's MY Airport" online sweepstakes.
"Greg well represents hundreds of thousands of northern Illinois residents who choose Mitchell Airport for its value, convenience and nonstop destinations," said airport spokesman Patricia Rowe.
Rowe said the number of travelers from northern Illinois who use MKE has been growing, and the airport wants more passengers to discover Mitchell as an alternative to O'Hare.
Galen's likeness appears on billboards in Winnebago County and on online ads and other web-based marketing efforts. His neighborly advice: "Travel the extra miles to MKE and avoid the stress of O'Hare. And be sure to stay engaged with airports like MKE because you just might find (or win) some great travel deals."
As the grand-prize winner in MKE's "That's MY Airport" sweepstakes, Galen won a trip for two in the form of an airline gift card valued at $1,000 and $1,500 in VISA gift cards for expenses.
MKE encourages travelers to stay connected through its website, Facebook and Twitter pages to receive travel deals, tips and tricks, and sweepstakes opportunities.
A 75-minute drive from Rockford, MKE offers travelers an average savings of $70 on fares and upwards of $30 on parking compared to O'Hare.

Cessna gets European certification for the Citation M2
Cessna Aircraft's Citation M2 has received certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency, paving the way for deliveries to begin in Europe and other participating areas.
The certification comes not long after Cessna's receipt of EASA certification for its Citation Sovereign+.
"We have gotten significant interest from European customers for the Citation M2, due to its size, speed and range," Chris Hearne, Textron Aviation's vice president of jets, said in a statement. "The news, coupled with the recent EASA certification of the Citation Sovereign+, means that customers in Europe have more options to meet their business aviation needs within the Citation family."
The Citation M2 light corporate jet has a maximum cruise speed of 460 mph and a range of 1,580 nautical miles.
It's certified for single-pilot operation and has room for seven passengers. The plane is assembled at Cessna's Independence plant.
It was certified by the Federal Aviation Administration in December. The company delivered 24 through the first quarter of 2014.

A style guide to getting January Jones's Betty Draper look from Mad Men, which bids adieu in 2015.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed up 7.52 per cent for 2014, while the Nasdaq composite index ended up 13.4 per cent.
Actress Felicity Jones says drinking red wine helps her prepare for emotionally draining scenes.
The Dow's march to the 18000 level had to overcome a long lineup of obstacles this year. None of them was a match against the Federal Reserve and the US economy.
In an interview, team director Ravi Shastri had hinted that he will be willing to take a permanent role with the team post the World Cup.
The Mumbai centre will employ 60 people, comprising research, product design, marketing, sales and IT operations, Matturri added.
US stocks advanced, with both the Dow and S&P 500 building on a four-day rally to set new intraday records after strong report on economic growth.
US stocks rallied after five sessions of losses, helped by a sharp rebound in energy shares and data that signaled the US economy was on track for solid growth.

Annoy anyone else?
I'm just coming back to D3 after dropping it a few weeks after release because of a lack of desire to play Inferno. Me and a few buddies decided to roll new characters and I picked monk, but I'm finding inferno to be so... linear. Like seriously, what build options do I really have? There's one cookie cutter setup, and everything outside of that is only 1 rune different or a Tempest Rush farming build. And what the hell is up with the cost of items. How the hell am I realistically supposed to ever buy something that costs 100 million gold. Unless I luck out and get a similarly priced drop it doesn't seem possible farm that much in a realistic amount of time. Am I missing something from the game right now? Are there actually more build options that I'm just not seeing discussed on the forums? Is there some secret to farming that I'm missing? |
Annoy anyone else? Yes it does. Am I missing something from the game right now? Are there actually more build options that I'm just not seeing discussed on the forums? Is there some secret to farming that I'm missing? No there are not. Tough it out until Blizz looks into monk build-diversity or re-roll or quit for a while. I personally LOVE trying to break the mold and farming the same run over and over is relaxing so grinding out millions of gold is NBD. If that doesn't fit your playstyle, Blizz will eventually fix things for you and you can come back then to have fun! :D |
Why would you need something that costs 100 million gold? |
Let me clarify then. I have read your guide Piffle and it actually helped me understand what gear I should be going for, and I really appreciate it. But even farming the few million gold you demonstrate is needed to get a decent set seems like a daunting task. I'm barely finding rares that sell for 50k. It literally just feels like I'm farming and crossing my fingers, hoping to get lucky enough to get 1 drop that might be worth a million or two, and then I have to turn around and do that all again. |
How do you make 100m gold? You play the game, farm until you get lucky. Don't kill 2000 elites and expect to have endgame items, if you do, this is not the game for you.
There are 2 efficient cookie cutter builds. If you want to go out the box, use lordrahlls weird !@# builds. |
there is more to monk than the cookie cutter, you must see through the veil of the mainstream knowledge.
You have much to learn, young one. And when you acknowledge the existence of the Force, then shall build variety appear. Only then, will you know where to look in these forums, for the answers. ;)
Edited by LordRaahl#1733 on 12/4/2012 12:14 PM PST
If you want build diversity give Witch Doctor a try, they have the most viable options at this point with 0ZD, Pile On, Bears, WoS to name a few.
Barb and DH also both have a few more viable options than the last two. Of course, most people at this point use WW and Spike Traps respectively. But there are other VERY viable options like Hammer of the Ancients or Weapon Throw, and Cluster Arrow or Ball Lightning too. Unfortunately at this point Monk and Wiz have the least options when it comes to skills. Some are just so much better than the others like Thunderclap and Critical Mass, that theres really no reason not to use them.

Can you give me a link or explanation of the spike-traps DH build? that is the only build you listed I am unfamiliar with and I like knowing this stuff! :D |
Personally, I don't understand the need people seem to have to be farming MP10 crowded areas lightning speed over and over again... If not for that, you don't really need millions of gold worth equipment and can concentrate on having fun...
[Editing typos and errors...]
Edited by lronqui#1761 on 12/4/2012 12:22 PM PST
Its the FOTM thing right now I think :p It usually goes a little like this: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/calculator/demon-hunter#WQgkVh!Ye!.aY..Z The runes for the skills I left unruned are what I usually see variation from. Bola Shot - usually people either use Volatile Explosives or Imminent Doom (I prefer the latter) Sentry - usually people either use Spitfire or Guardian (I prefer the former, for more dps) Preparation - usually people either use Battle Scars or Backup Plan (I prefer the latter, out of habit lol) As far as passives, I see a lot of people not even using Steady Aim at this point and especially with Spike Trap since generally you end up just face tanking stuff with Gloom. Archery is actually the only passive I still used by pretty much every DH. As far as the other two, these are all good options: - Tactical Advantage - survivability - Vengeance - farming - Night Stalker - survivability (this one is very popular for higher Gloom uptime) - Perfectionist - survivability (adds mitigation + Gloom uptime) - Custom Engineering (adds more potential dps via ST and Turret - this is what I use) - Steady Aim - dps edit - DH really is fun with Spike Traps. If I throw my Monk gear on my DH I have over 100k dps with Steady Aim and Archery. The traps melt stuff so quick :p The sustain with WF + Gloom is more than enough even in mp5. Its kind of funny though, people spend so much money on Manticores and don't even shoot them, they just throw down traps that blow stuff up lol.
Edited by gotaplanstan#1369 on 12/4/2012 12:30 PM PST
Hm. Well, I apologize for the sarcastic response then :P Getting a little cynical from reading all the "halp halp" posts by people who have too much gold and too little sense, and forgot what it's like to gear up from nothing. |
increase you dps size now, only 10.0k inches and above will qualify! Funny seeing a monk coming into a monk forums, asking for monk builds, ended up getting directions to the demon hunter forums. gg.
Edited by LordRaahl#1733 on 12/4/2012 12:38 PM PST
Funny seeing a monk coming into a monk forums, asking for monk builds, I suggested WD not DH :O |
The fact that you're barely finding rares that sell for 50K should tell you something: that even decent gear is cheap. You don't need millions right now. You can probably upgrade several of the pieces you're wearing for 50K. Anyway, if you want to maximize your gold earned per hour, by far the most efficient method offered within game is the AH. Buy low and sell high. Items are placed on sale for incredible discount far more frequently than similar items will drop for you. As for being annoyed at the lack of build variety, yeah. I've experimented with several odd gear/skill combinations, and some of them are great fun. But if your goal is to maximize farming efficiency, then one build will almost always be the more efficient than all the others. Use that one. You can always choose to not make that your goal. Then a whole bunch of options open up. One thing I almost hope Blizzard does is to nerf the whole snapshotting of Sweeping Winds thing. I only "almost" hope they do they do this because I see that they could easily mess it up by underestimating it's current value. But it's just too damn efficient to use a bunch of temporarily buffs to get a permanent bonus. I've had to sell my Skorn just to avoid temptation. |
But even farming the few million gold you demonstrate is needed to get a decent set seems like a daunting task. I'm barely finding rares that sell for 50k. It literally just feels like I'm farming and crossing my fingers, hoping to get lucky enough to get 1 drop that might be worth a million or two, and then I have to turn around and do that all again I felt bad after reading the OP's response to my initial snarky response so I went and looked at what you could put together in the AH if you spent no more than 50k on a single item. So over the course of about half an hour (not sure it even took that long either), this is what I came up with: Price: 496,564 DPS: 51,945 Health: 39,581 Resist: 676 Armor: 4681 EH: 442,078 MS: 11% That's assuming you're using the same quality gems as you currently have (38 dex) in your armor and have 1 of the same in each weapon. Price does not include the gems. There's no LoH or LS, but at lower MP levels you shouldn't really need any. So there's definitely decent gear to be had on even the strictest budget. edit: I guess those stats are with a 43 paragon monk. So your mileage may vary :P
Edited by Piffle#1874 on 12/4/2012 1:14 PM PST
[quote] Thanks. I appreciate your help, I'm just kind of venting I guess. I was really let down by D3 on release, and coming back now I was hoping for a much better experience, but I'm not sure if I'm going to find it at this rate. Thanks anyways though. |
i constantly change my spec depending on what gear i have, what i am doing, and group make up ( rare farming, PLng a friend, ubers, key runs, TR exp farming)..makes monk very fun to play! Put some random builds on your hot bar and try to make it work in an MP that you feel comfortable in, that's always fun too, you will be surprised!
@Piffle: Some of us are still gearing up from nothing! But we're looking' pretty good, all things considered :)
Vrk, you don't count because you spend most of your time "playing" with numbers in a spreadsheet :P |
This is exactly like life as a systems engineer. |
