A New Moody's Rating Scandal
- Felix Salmon
The FT has an explosive story today about the market in CPDOs, and the way that Moody's, in particular, rated them. The problem is that CPDOs are so ridiculously complex that this scandal - and it is a scandal - will probably not get the traction it deserves, just because it's very difficult to understand. But in a nutshell, this is what happened:
ABN Amro issued a few securities, which Moody's rated triple-A. But when Moody's went back to double-check its calculations, it found a bug in the computer code used to generate that rating. When the bug was fixed, it turned out that the securities in question should have been rated four notches lower. But what happened? Moody's never rerated the securities in question, and indeed it continued to give triple-A ratings to new, almost identical, securities. It did this because it was making money hand over fist by rating them because by sheerest coincidence, at exactly the same time as it fixed that computer-code bug, Moody's also made two changes to its ratings methodology elsewhere - changes which resulted in this class of securities retaining their triple-A rating.
Sam Jones, who helped report the story, also takes advantage of his presence over at Alphaville to add some color: in this entry he exposes an internal Moody's document which says that only two of three proposed ratings changes were made because the third "did not help the rating." That's a smoking gun, if you ask me: there's simply no way that whether or not a proposed change helps the rating should ever be a factor in the decision to adopt that change.
It would be inconsistent with Moody's analytical standards and company policies to change methodologies in an effort to mask errors... We are therefore conducting a thorough review of this matter.

Recipe by cynjne
"A tangy BBQ sauce that can be used for just about anything from sandwiches to french fries. Kids especially seem to enjoy."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1 cup vinegar
1 cup prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
I thought this tasted pretty good. I used the calculate button and typed in 8 servings and got a good cup of the sauce. The flavors all come together, but it reminds me more of a bbq dip for chicken nuggets or fries then a grilling bbq type sauce. It is kind of like a spicy orange mustard sauce. I liked how quick it is to mix up though, with only using one bowl. It is with such common cupbard staples also. A kid might find this a little too tart or hot I think with the seasonings. However, us adults I am sure will find it fine for dipping chicken, etc.
I had no bbq sauce in the house and needed some for dinner tonight. I chose to make this because it used all common pantry/frig ingredients. Being from Memphis, I just didn't care for the strong mustard taste in this sauce, but I realize that is personal preference.
5 Ratings
It was AWESOME!!!! Very easy to prepare!
Quick, easy and basic - I substituted 1 cup honey mustard, 1/2 cup (packed) brown sugar, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp chili powder, and eliminated the cayenne pepper and black pepper. Definitely worth making and very good on pork ribs.
This has got a kick. I will probably try brown sugar next time and maybe more of it but I like a sweet sauce.

(United States of America, Australia 1955 – )
71.8 x 94.7 cm sight; 81.1 x 103.9 cm frame
Throughout his career, photographer David Stephenson has been drawn to sacred spaces, whether they are sites of religious worship or landscapes that cultivate a sense of the sublime. Stephenson's affinity with the American New Topographic movement in the 1970s precipitated his fascination with the tradition of landscape photography. Pursuing new ways to represent the land outside the aesthetic strictures of the documentary approach, Stephenson's work is, according to Australian writer Daniel Palmer, 'imbued with romantic sensibility' 1 and confronts philosophical concepts such as the infinite and the unknown with a minimalist sensibility and poetic acuity.
His series of pinhole photographs from 1989 are images of seascapes that tip into abstraction. Recognizable topographic features disperse, leaving only the faint suggestion of the landscape. Pinhole photography relinquishes some of the control afforded by the analogue camera. Stephenson's 'Untitled pinhole photograph No. 46/1' and 'Untitled pinhole photograph No. 49/3' expose the unpredictability of this technique in the abrasions around the edges of each photograph that make the image appear as if it were disintegrating. These photographs were produced using protracted exposure times and the blurred forms that result from the motion of the sea make the monochrome scene ephemeral and indistinct. The lead coated timber frames, an integral component of each work, compliment the muted, charcoal-like tones of these photographs.
Stephenson's 1990 cloudscapes serve as an oblique homage to American photographer Alfred Stieglitz's 1922-1935 series of cloud photographs, 'Equivalents', that often excluded identifiable reference points like the horizon line. The clouds in Stephenson's images become studies of luminous abstract forms. Pockets of light submerged in darkness, these nebulous clouds eschew legibility and evoke allusions to the transcendent and the sublime.

McBurney's point
McBurney's point | |
Location of McBurney's point (1), located two thirds the distance from the umbilicus (2) to the right anterior superior iliac spine (3).
Surface projections of the organs of the trunk, with McBurney's point labeled with a red circle at bottom left at the inferior part of the cecum.
Identifiers | |

Anatomical terminology |
McBurney's point is the name given to the point over the right side of the abdomen that is one-third of the distance from the anterior superior iliac spine to the umbilicus (navel). This point roughly corresponds to the most common location of the base of the appendix where it is attached to the cecum.[1]
Clinical relevance[edit]
Deep tenderness at McBurney's point, known as McBurney's sign, is a sign of acute appendicitis.[2] The clinical sign of referred pain in the epigastrium when pressure is applied is also known as Aaron's sign. Specific localization of tenderness to McBurney's point indicates that inflammation is no longer limited to the lumen of the bowel (which localizes pain poorly), and is irritating the lining of the peritoneum at the place where the peritoneum comes into contact with the appendix. Tenderness at McBurney's point suggests the evolution of acute appendicitis to a later stage, and thus, the increased likelihood of rupture. Other abdominal processes can also sometimes cause tenderness at McBurney's point. Thus, this sign is highly useful but neither necessary nor sufficient to make a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Also, the anatomical position of the appendix is highly variable (for example in retrocaecal appendix, an appendix behind the caecum), which also limits the use of this sign as many cases of appendicitis do not cause point tenderness at McBurney's point. For most open appendectomies (as opposed to laparoscopic appendectomies), the incision is made at McBurney's point.
The sign is named for American surgeon Charles McBurney, (1845–1913).[3]
In fact, McBurney himself did not locate "his" point in such a precise way in his original article.
The seat of greatest pain, determined by the pressure of one finger, has been very exactly between an inch and a half and two inches from the anterior spinous process of the ilium on a straight line drawn from that process to the umbilicus
—Charles McBurney, "Experience with Early Operative Interference in Cases of Disease of the Vermiform Appendix"; New York Medical Journal, 1889, 50: 676-684 [pg 678].
Popular culture[edit]
The 2014 Cinemax TV series The Knick attributes the discovery of McBurney's point to the chief surgeon Dr John Thackery, referring to it as 'Thackery's point' in an announcement to the audience of an appendectomy.

HALIFAX - A cancelled ferry service between southwestern Nova Scotia and Maine could cost taxpayers in the province millions of dollars.
Percy Paris, Nova Scotia's economic development minister, said Thursday that Bay Ferries Ltd.'s agreement with the former Tory government included $3 million in transition payments if the service shut down.
Unless the high-speed Cat ferry is sold, six monthly payouts of $500,000 will begin April 1.
Paris said the NDP government is legally obligated to honour the agreement.
Last year, the Conservatives announced they would provide Bay Ferries with up to $12 million to keep the ferry afloat.
The transition payments are part of that amount.

First day
Trip Start

Trip End
Jun 04, 2013
The driver dropped us off at the dorm and the dean gave us keys for our rooms. I struggled with my luggage up to (of course) third floor and turned the key. My roommate was sitting at her computer. The minute we met I knew it was going to be a lovely living arrangement. She has short blonde hair and is from Denmark. She speaks Danish, German, English, and some French and is very sweet. Nidia and I unpacked and decided we loved our room. We are in a spacious corner room that has huge windows on two of the walls.
The view from where I sit at my desk typing is absolutely breathtaking. The Saleve mountain is right above me. Nidia and I counted 12 paragliders (I think that's what they're called) gliding up at the top of the mountain with the blue sky as the backdrop. Nidia is 21 and has already studied at the college in Newbold so she speaks very good english. She is from Sjaelland Denmark, which she pronounces in a strong danish accent. After we settled in we walked down to Collonges and explored. Because it was a sunday I didn't get to try any french pastries..everything was closed!
In the evening I met a few more girls that arrived. There's Samantha, who is from Australia. She is my exact age and we decided to run together every morning. I also met identical twins whose names are Adriana and Carla. They are from San Diego and they are sixteen. So young! The next couple days is basically getting settled and orientations. Classes begin Thursday morning. The placement test is tomorrow..I have a feeling I will be a beginner..

Miami Land Gets the Money of Well-Placed Latin Americans
August 14, 2014 | Posted by Staff under Economic Principles, High Cost of Land, Inequality / Concentration |
This 2014 excerpt of Salon, Aug 10, is by Henry Grabar.
In Miami, only one in 10 new apartments is purchased as a primary residence. Apartments aren't places to live, even a few months out of the year, or to rent. They are simply unusually shaped deposit boxes where several million dollars (or pesos, or rubles) can be left in security and secrecy.
The "safe haven effect" drives up the cost of housing. And this with an obvious threat in the form of sea-level rise and storm surges looming on the horizon.
Over the past quarter-century, the Miami skyline has grown at a cornfield pace, fueled largely by buyers from South America. Most Miamians speak Spanish at home, and the metro area has the highest share of immigrant business ownership in the country, at 45 percent. This is why the city is sometimes called the "Capital of Latin America."
Miami's real estate clientele are looking to move cash reserves from South America's teetering currencies into American real estate. Only a quarter of Miami condo buyers take out mortgages, versus 70 percent nationwide.
Bank tellers don't receive a commission on the deposits they accept, so they are more likely to ask questions of a dubious customer than a real estate agent, who stands to make a huge commission on a multimillion-dollar luxury condo deal.
The average price of a unit in a current selling project is $662,439. It's not pocket change; but it's also less than half the average condo price in Manhattan. Median sale prices in San Francisco recently topped $1 million.
Is it crazy to add 23,000 units – the crop of the current cycle – to a market with scant local demand, in a metro area with the highest foreclosure rate in the United States? Is downtown Miami a bubble?
Ed. Notes: If only those foreigners would plow their surplus back into their own nations to win economic justice there, so they would not have to flee or to send their money into exile. But the money was probably ill-gotten gains in the first place, so it would not belong to the sort of person interested in either justice or his homeland.
If Miami could control its realtors, it could control its development fate: keep its housing affordable and its neighborhoods intact. How? By taxing land. Then land could not be such a safe haven.
Heck, the city could even get rid of all the other dumb taxes on buildings, sales, and incomes. After that, people would not come for the wrong reasons but to live in justice. And Miami could export a model that benefits everybody — geonomics.

We investigated energy balance and change of body composition in one athlete in a multistage triathlon, the World Challenge Deca Iron Triathlon 2006, where athletes had to perform one Ironman triathlon of 3.8 km swimming, 180 km cycling and 42.195 km running per day for ten consecutive days. In one well-experienced male ultra-endurance triathlete, we measured body mass, skinfold thicknesses and perimeters of extremities, in order to calculate skeletal muscle mass, fat mass and percentage of body fat. Energy intake was measured by analysis of nutrition, and energy expenditure was calculated using a portable heart rate monitor. This was performed to quantify energy deficit. In addition, bio-impedance measurements were performed to determine fluid metabolism. The athlete finished the race in 128 hours, 22 minutes and 42 seconds in 3rd position. Body mass decreased by 1 kilogram, skeletal muscle mass decreased by 0.9 kilograms and calculated fat mass decreased by 0.8 kilograms. Total body water increased by 2.8 liters. Total energy expenditure for the Deca Iron was 89,112 kilocalories and a total energy deficit of 11,480 kilocalories resulted. We presume that energy deficit was covered by consumption of adipose subcutaneous tissue as well as skeletal muscle mass; the degradation of muscle mass seems to lead to hypoproteinemic edemas.

Musician, artist, and "edutainer" Tom Kaufmann makes unique instruments called lithophones, which are similar to xylophones, but created from various stones. Here's how Kaufmann describes them: Another happy coincidence led me to my current fascination with constructing lithophones. I was tossing around some scrap pieces of granite countertop that I'd gotten for one of my Upright Furniture projects, and as one of the chunks landed, it rang as clear as a bell. I'd been looking for stone... READ ON
Last Christmas, a surprise popped up online: a prototype of The Legend of Zelda, the iconic Nintendo game. Some changes are what you'd expect for a game that hadn't hit the market yet: the early version has some bugs, different music, and many areas are designed differently. But what's most interesting about the prototype is that it's significantly easier than the version that shipped. It's easier to get money (rupees!), there are fewer enemies, and the famous line "It's a secret to everybody!" was... READ ON
oops is a short film featuring YouTube clips of cameras being dropped, submerged, thrown, or otherwise lost -- mostly by accident. Director Chris Beckman does a great job of stitching together the clips in sequence, so they lead into each other. Without context, the film becomes strangely personal, as many of the clips show people just hanging out around the house...or the pool...or the trampoline. And you usually get to hear how upset the videographers become once their camera is dropped. It's ten... READ ON

Rangitata River
The Rangitata River is one of the braided rivers that helped form the Canterbury Plains in southern New Zealand. It flows southeast for 120 kilometres from the Southern Alps, entering the Pacific Ocean 30 kilometres northeast of Timaru. The river has a catchment area of 1,773 km2 (685 sq mi),[1] and a mean annual flow of 95 m³/s (3,400 cu ft/s) at Klondyke.[2]
The Māori name "Rangitata" (Rakitata) has been variously translated as "day of lowering clouds", "close sky", and "the side of the sky".[3]
The river formed the Rangitata Valley, in the center of the Southern Alps, and the on-location photography of the Edoras set from The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, and The Return of the King was filmed in this valley, on and around Mount Sunday. Several remote sheep stations are located near Mount Sunday. These include Mesopotamia, Mt Potts, and Erewhon. Erewhon was named by Samuel Butler who was the first white settler to live at the Mesopotamia sheep station. Erewhon is also the name of a novel written by Butler anonymously in 1872.
Before the river enters the Canterbury Plains, part of it is diverted to the Rangitata Diversion Race (RDR) for irrigation and hydroelectric generation. The RDR was built between 2 April 1937 and 1944,[4] and supplies water to the Montalto and Highbank schemes before joining the Rakaia River. The entry point has New Zealand's first acoustic fish fence, keeping salmon smolt in the river and preventing them ending up on farmland.[5]
Towards its mouth, the river originally split into two streams, forming a large delta island (Rangitata Island). This island was crossed by State Highway 1 and the Main South Line railway between Ealing and Rangitata and thus was an island connected directly by New Zealand's main state highway and one of its primary railway lines. However, the south branch of this split has since been blocked, and the riverbed developed for agricultural purposes. Its course remains as a flood plain, but water does not normally flow here any longer.
The Rangitata is the most fished river in the Central South Island Region,[2] having a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery.[6] The salmon account for about 75 percent of angler activity on the river, other species fished are brown trout, rainbow trout and brook char.
On 23 December 1999, Fish and Game New Zealand lodged an application for a water conservation order on the Rangitata River. In June 2006, the water conservation order was gazetted.[7]
A locomotive, DC 4686, ended up completely submerged in the river on 4 January 2002, after floodwater undermined a stopbank supporting the railway line, causing a derailment.[8]

The Rift | |||||
Walter J. Williams | |||||
HarperPrism Books, 726 pages | |||||
A review by Lisa DuMond
Get a chapter deep in The Rift and you will be helplessly drawn in until the very last word. Then you
will do one of those sigh-and-clutch-the-book things as you realize it's over. It's an explosion, an experience,
not a simple read, and it's hard to let go.
The Mississippi Delta is a land that exists on sufferance of the big river.
Only because the Mississippi stays behind its levees, follows its locks and spillways, and agrees to overflow
onto its batture, is the area safe to live in. It's a complex system, decades in the making, and perfectly
adequate to corral the waters -- unless something, I don't know... catastrophic happens.
Something like an 8.9 earthquake?
A monster earthquake that shakes, breaks, and shatters everything in the Delta. The kind of earthquake that hasn't
happened since 1812. But, that long period was a gift, and the time has come to take that bit of grace back. The
time of disaster is back.
To some, it's an engineering problem; to others, a chance for profiteering.
To most of the millions of people affected by the quake it's a time to protect their families and homes. But, not
everyone agrees just what the threat is or what they are protecting their loved ones from.
Some, like the Reverend Frankland, think that Armageddon has come at last.
In that case, souls are more important to save than lives. To Sheriff Omar Paxton, it's a chance to wipe out the
threat of the "mud people," for once and forever. To Major General J. C. Frazetta, it is the call of duty to
ensure that the Army Corps of Engineers control system works as it's designed to.
Because -- despite the brilliant and terrifying depiction of nature gone berserk -- The Rift is primarily the story of people.
People dealing with the worst the land can throw at them. And, like all emergencies, the earthquakes will
unveil the best and the worst in human beings. The best is heartbreaking, the worst is stomach-churning -- just
like real life, but in concentrate form.
Williams always turns in a mesmerizing creation, but The Rift is something beyond even his normal
genius. The Rift is a double handful of fiction that you want to cram in with both fists, like movie theatre
popcorn. "Stunning" seems a word inadequate to describe this compulsive read.
Yes, the science is there. The facts and terrifying balance of power. But, it's never any question who will
win. The unknown factor is the core of the people in the heart of the cataclysm.
The earth can shake and shudder and the floods can sweep everything in their path to the sea, but in the end
we'll always be at the mercy of humans. Maybe it shouldn't be -- but that is the truly terrifying part.

Intuition behind the definition of a derivative by Lang
Maybe it's because I'm drunk, but isn't the $\lambda y$ term merely the linear term (i.e., derivative) and $\varphi(y)$ the "bonus parts which vanish in the appropriate limit"? Just as if for a usual function in calculus 101 we would Taylor expand $f(x+h)=f(x)+f'(x)h+g(h)$ where $g(h)\sim o(h^{2})$. The derivative would naturally be the linear (first) term...well, the coefficient to $h$... |

Miss Me Beaded Art Top 2 2
too big I bought this online because the price was so great I couldn't pass it up and it was money well spent. It is very soft material which I love. The beading and crochet sleeves are a nice element. What I didn't like is that the shirt I bought is an xs and it fits more like a medium. I find that to be the biggest problem with alot of their shirts is they are 2 sizes too big 99% of the time which is unfortunate. Also the picture is misleading because that's not how it fits. When buying this shirt make sure to go a size or 2 down. January 12, 2015
Cool top This shirt is pretty awesome! It's a little short for my tastes, but I had to get it anyway since it looked so amazing with a cute undershirt and leggings. I love the graphics on the front and the material is super soft! A must for any Miss Me fan! September 9, 2012

TV and radio appearances by Nation writers and editors, big Nation announcements.
Fears that GOP Representative Paul Ryan is planning to end Medicare as Americans know it are now spreading outside the beltway. Joining Ed Schultz on MSNBC's The Ed Show, The Nation's John Nichols said that citizens at town hall meetings in Wisconsin are starting to fight back against the severe cuts that are central to Ryan's budget plan.
In Kenosha, those in attendance challenged Ryan on most of what he was arguing, citing government agency reports and other materials that show that Ryan's plan is built on falsehoods. Nichols reports that "Ryan was kept on his toes," and Kenosha citizens were as charged as he's ever seen them because they really are afraid of Ryan's plan and what it might do to Medicare.

But there's a better way. You can stand up and say: Hate speech isn't hip; it's wrong. And you can fight its spread, not by demanding that the government ban bigotry but by picketing those who profit from it, flooding their companies with complaints, holding teach-ins on the culture of contempt. In the current climate, such protest is piecemeal and rarely involves a coalition like the one that built the civil rights movement. Prominent black journalists have refused to appear on Imus, but their white counterparts go on chatting with the I-Man. Self-interest has replaced the old ideal of common cause. Even worse, libertarians are chastising those who care enough to protest.
The First Amendment does not require silence in the face of outrage. On the contrary, freedom demands a constant assertion of values. We've seen what the absence of righteous anger can produce. Sixty years ago, a cadre of fascist thugs nearly destroyed our civilization. They would never have gotten so far if more people had taken their hate speech seriously from the start. Let's not make that mistake in the name of entertainment. Stop the celebrity bigots before it happens again.

Best Children's Outdoor Toys: Go outside and do something.
We live in the suburbs of Detroit, I rarely lock my door and I feel pretty safe in our neighborhood. Safe from crime, I do not feel safe from the irritation of loud neighbors. So you'd think my kids would be living the same kind of carefree stay outside from morning until night life I lived as a child. But they do not. There are a few reasons for this. I can't say that the constant media coverage of every abduction, shooting and overall bad things which happen to kids hasn't affected me and my ability to let my kids run around the neighborhood unsupervised. Our neighborhood is also lacking in children so there's no one to run around the neighborhood with and finally we lack a garage so the kids bikes and other outside toys are difficult to get at in the crowded shed.
But all that is going to change this summer as we move to a new place with a garage, a private backyard and a lot of kids to play with in our new neighborhood. This coupled with the fact that I have a difficult time filling the summer with 1,000 activities when my kids have nothing to do leads us to today's Buzz Off, Outdoor Toys.
Get your kids ready for retirement today with this rubber horse shoe game. When my husband and I were first married we lived in a small duplex with a retired older couple next door. Each morning I was awakened by the "clink, clink, clink" of Mr. Wood perfecting his horse shoe game for the winter when they'd return to Florida. Logan and I had an elaborate story we entertained ourselves with involving Mr. Wood and his place on the Horse Shoe Pro Circuit. There were bitter rivalries between different retirement communities and even groupies…in our mind at least.
My kids love ring toss games and they keep them occupied for almost 20 minutes! Hooray! 20 minutes doesn't seem like a long time, until it's summer and then a summer 20 minutes feels like hours. This colorful wooden set from Boikodo is perfect. Just make sure you make it easy to put away after the kids are done playing: Wood + Rain = No more fun.
This year in gym class my kids have been working on jumping rope. Jumping rope is great exercise and if you can get a few kids over there are so many games to play in the rope. You might even squeeze 30 minutes out of this activity. I love these bug handled ropes at Giggle. They come in bee, rooster, frog and ladybug. Guess which is my favorite?
My kids are a little annoying about sprinklers and playing in the water. They want to do it but then the minute they get wet they act surprised, as if they thought a sprinkler which shoots water would not get them wet. Still this oversized beach ball sprinkler looks like way too much fun to resist. How many minutes can I get out of this?
I'm not featuring any bikes in this round up, but you have to have a bike for your kid. My kids are currently unwilling to take their training wheels off and I think my daughter will be 30 before she ever learns to ride a two wheeler. My plans for them this summer include a lot of bike riding so I'm going to have to do something to get them on the bike in the first place once we "lose" the training wheels in the move. These bike bells are just $15, are bright and cheerful and will help you track your child's location in the neighborhood.
My son has been asking for stilts for the last two years. I've avoided buying them because I thought he was too young and it seemed so easy to just make our own. I realized though we're never going to make them and Max is old enough to give it a try so I'm checking this set from Villac. The stilts come in white and green or red and black with ladybug handles.
A few years ago my Santa Claus brought a foam bowling set and the kids loved it. We set it up in the hallway and let them have at it. They tried it outside but the concrete is hardly ever smooth enough to keep the pins upright. Enter this clown set which keeps the pins on a single rod so the goal is to tip the clowns over making them lose their hats. Easy to set up, even for little hands.
My grandfather had a croquet set and I remember many hours playing in the backyard. Of course, we weren't very good and I'm certain I would have been better if we'd had mallets sized for us, like this set. I am also certain I would have been better at croquet if my set had been packaged in this bright striped bag. To this day I am not very good at croquet, don't doom your child to a life like this. I am not overstating the truth at all.
Up next: cooking with kids!
8 Responses to "Best Children's Outdoor Toys: Go outside and do something."
My girls have a croquet set and it keeps them occupied for a good hour at least. Most of the time, they don't even play croquet as much as they play with the croquet things. Either way, I'm happy they are busy outside.
The six year old that spends his weekends w/his father and me LOVES LOVES that croquet set! I was way surprised at the enthusiasm. We live in a duplex and the driveway works lovely.
Don't forget bocce! It's an awesome game.
And an added bonus for us is that the little white guide ball in bocce is called the 'jack,' which my Jack loves. -
After playing with the stilts at Greenfield Village my kids asked for some too. My father-in-law made sets for all the grandkids a couple of Christmas' ago, now sometimes my driveway looks like a circus training ground for all the neighborhood kids.
There is also the game of catch with the 2 sticks and the hoop (that can be decorated with ribbons) they play at Greenfield Village. My kids love that too. -
What kids need today are Jarts! You know, with the big pointy steel tips?
Kidding of course. Even as a boy I could tell those things were dangerous (which made them all the more enticing). Not only are they banned, but the government asks that all old lawn darts be destroyed.
Did you know they are still legal in England? Check out these bad boys! -
My Mom is in taking golf lessons, so she's been practicing her swing in the back yard. My 2 year old spends 2 days every other week with her, so Mom bought her a set of her very own golf clubs. Kidlet is a total mimic, and it's hysterical to watch her tee off, and then swing the club so hard she falls down. She gets right back up and laughs hysterically right along with us.

Home » Football NewsHow the AFC West Will Be WonJuly 17, 2012 INDIANA SPORTS PAGEIn 2010, second year head coach Todd Haley led the improbable run made by the Kansas City Chiefs that ended with a 10-6 record and AFC West title. He was considered one of the best young coaches in the NFL, and the Chiefs appeared set for a division title defense in 2011. But after the dust settled on a tumultuous 2011 season — thanks to a slew of injuries, and the firing the once highly touted Haley — the Chiefs looked much less impressive, and much different on paper, than they had a year prior. But now, the silver lining appears to be more than just a lining once again. With the return of Eric Berry to the defensive secondary, and the returns of Jamaal Charles and Tony Moeaki to the offense, the 2010 gang is almost all back together. But the fun for the Chiefs and their fans only begins there. You want to talk about difference makers from free agency? Try signing the bruise-inducing Peyton Hillis to complement Charles, adding Eric Winston to an already good offensive line, giving Moeaki a dependable counterpart with TE Kevin Boss, and replacing Brandon Carr with the more explosive Stanford Rout. http://www.sports-central.org/sports/2012/07/16/how_the_afc_west_will_be_won.php

Thierry Henry believes a more unified New York Red Bulls team will allow for more positive results.
The Red Bulls have dropped their first two 2012 MLS matches on the road to sit second bottom on the Eastern Conference and the Frenchman wants a closer unit in a bid to get back to form after a frustrating 2011.
"I've never won something in my career without it being a great togetherness. We all know you win things if you have a great team effort, and that's what we're lacking sometimes.
"We're working on it; hopefully Sunday (against Colorado Rapids) you're going to see a great team effort. We need to have a better effort, offensively and defensively, as a team.''"The only concern I have is we keep doing the same thing as last year,'' said Henry who has won a World Cup with France, two Premier League titles with Arsenal and two La Liga titles with Barcelona among many other trophies.

Tuesday March 27, 2007
Monday March 26, 2007
Lecturer: Jeanette Bushnell
Course Description
The participants of this course will study the notion �diversity� from many scholarly perspectives and from personal engagements. We will critically visit the historical thinking about �diversity�. Questions that drive this course are: What does diversity mean? What is diversity? What is non-diversity? Is it important and if so, why? What are the implications to me? How has �diversity� successfully challenged inequalities and how has it been co-opted to support inequality?
We will look into origins and histories of �diversity�. We will learn about contemporary issues related to �diversity� such as racism and other oppressions. We will relate �diversity� dialogues to the harsh realities that face certain members of our society.

Rethinking the light bulb
Trio brings new model for lighting replacement to Iowa
, Senior Staff Writer
Friday, August 16, 2013 7:00 AM
From left, Kirk Enwright, Wally Pelds and Eric Branstad display different types of LED replacement bulbs made by ThinkLite; they plan to focus initially on replacing T8 and T12 fluorescent lighting.
About ThinkLite
ThinkLite LLC co-founders Dinesh Wadhwani and Enrico Palmerino were business students at Babson College in Wellesley, Mass., when they got the idea for their company from an ad for an energy-efficient light bulb. Founded in 2009, ThinkLite manufactures custom energy-saving LED lighting systems. The company licenses its technologies from private laboratories in Germany, uses components from South Korea, designs them in Boston and assembles them in China. ThinkLite works closely with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., which manufactures all the silicon components for the bulbs. ThinkLite's major clients include AT&T Inc., Hyatt Hotels Corp., the city of Boston and Eastman Kodak Co.
By the Numbers:
Pleasant Hill's LED Project
Total expected savings per year:
Total investment:
Average bulb life:
100,000 hours
Payback period:
2.89 years
Annual reduction in air pollution:
180,485 lbs of CO2
Source: ThinkLite
Look up.
Wherever people work, shop or do business, you'll probably see a familiar expanse of fluorescent fixtures, the mainstay of commercial lighting for decades.
Now, Iowa businesses could find a compelling way to slash their utility bills through a new approach to replacing fluorescent lighting with light-emitting diode (LED) lighting pioneered by Boston-based ThinkLite LLC.
Three entrepreneurs representing ThinkLite in Iowa have grabbed the attention of major private and public enterprises across the state, among them Iowa State University. One of the company's first clients, the city of Pleasant Hill, expects to save more than $237,000 in energy costs from a retrofit of one of its municipal buildings. Among its initial private-sector clients are a major convenience store chain, a large apartment complex and a small rural bank.
The partners, Eric Branstad, Kirk Enwright and Wally Pelds, in November launched Goldfinch LLC. Their East Village-based company has exclusive rights to sell ThinkLite's products in Iowa.
"Our goal is to help businesses – large and small – enjoy the latest technology, immediately reduce their utility costs and make a very green statement to their customers," said Enwright, who co-founded Goldfinch with Pelds.
"ThinkLite has been defined as a mass-producing company of customized lighting," said Pelds, a civil engineer who was introduced to ThinkLite through a business connection in Chicago. "Their motto is that they can build any bulb to fit any fixture and make it work, versus picking something from a catalog."
The company's speed to market with custom products for customers is probably its most unique feature, said Branstad, the governor's son. For one recent client, Goldfinch requested a specialized type of two-sided bulb; ThinkLite's engineers produced a design within three weeks. "It might take other lighting companies two or three years to go through their (new product design) process," he said. "We are a company where those kinds of things can be done within a matter of weeks."
Though replacing conventional lighting with LED fixtures can significantly slash energy usage, retrofitting to the new technology was cost prohibitive until recently.
ThinkLite's entry into Iowa comes as global demand for LED bulbs is projected to explode. According to a market forecast by industry research firm NPD DisplaySearch, the LED lighting market will jump from 5 percent of the global lighting market currently to 26 percent by 2016. Significant expansion in manufacturing capabilities, falling prices, environmental concerns and government incentive programs each play a role in the increased demand.
Short payback period
ThinkLite immediately resonated with the three Central Iowa businessmen, who over the years have collaborated on other green energy ventures.
"Everything (ThinkLite) told us kind of tripped my trigger," Pelds said. "Everything made sense in terms of energy efficiency, the return on investment and the paybacks. You couldn't manipulate the numbers to make them look better, because a kilowatt-hour is a kilowatt-hour is a kilowatt-hour. That really spoke my language as an engineer."
Because the high-efficiency bulbs don't require ballasts or installation of new fixtures, that additional saving on equipment enables companies to recoup their investment in the replacement bulbs within a couple of years in most cases. MidAmerican Energy Co. also provides a rebate of up to $25 for each conventional fluorescent bulb replaced. Those rebates, when combined with the reduced cost of replacing the higher-efficiency bulbs less often, make the projects even more cost-effective.
Don Sandor, city manager for Pleasant Hill, said the MidAmerican rebates were the deciding factor in moving ahead with its project to retrofit its South Complex, which houses the suburb's library, fire department and police station.
"We're looking at a payback (period) on the cost of installation of these lights of less than three years," Sandor said, "which we think is a significant turnaround on the cost. The City Council wants us to monitor the savings over a three-year period, and if it's as high a savings as projected, they're interested in extending this into other city facilities."
Installing the bulbs throughout other municipal facilities could save Pleasant Hill between 25 and 30 percent on its current utility costs, Sandor said.
Rebates make deals sweeter
Since 2000, MidAmerican has been offering rebates for commercial and residential customers who switch to certain types of LED lighting, but the program has only recently become popular, said David McCammant, the utility's energy efficiency product manager. In 2011, MidAmerican began offering rebates on LED replacement lamps for the popular T8 and T12 fluorescent bulbs found in most business and commercial settings. MidAmerican offers a rebate of $25 per T12 bulb replaced and $15 for each T8 bulb replaced.
Though LED replacement bulbs don't use significantly lower wattage than fluorescent bulbs, their lower maintenance cost and longer product lives mean the savings are generated for a longer period of years, "and that's good for the utility and the customer," McCammant said. "And for certain applications, the quality of light can be better."
Last year, MidAmerican paid rebates for approximately 20,000 bulbs that were replaced with LED products, more than three times the 6,100 rebates paid out in 2011.
Most companies apply for the rebates through professional lighting contractors, who are familiar with the program's requirements, McCammant said. The requirements include the LED product being certified as Energy Star compliant and independently tested as meeting minimum quality standards.
For certain applications, "if energy savings is the primary driver, you may be just as well off looking at fluorescents as LEDs," he said, because for energy savings, fluorescents may be sufficient.
"Even two years ago, the LEDs were so much higher in price, you may not have been justified in going to an LED," McCammant said. "Now, it may be. The best thing is to get advice from a lighting contractor."
Better quality
Iowa State University has been evaluating LED replacement lighting options for its Ames campus and has been testing several companies' products within the past year.
Lighting accounts for about 30 percent of ISU's $10 million annual electricity expenditure; new LED lighting technologies could reduce its lighting bills by 50 to 80 percent, said Bob Currie, the university's director of facilities management.
Early LED technologies did not perform very well, Currie said.
"Coming from overseas, they weren't constructed to any standards, so there was variation in colors, construction. We weren't having good experiences early on," he said. "But things have changed now. Companies like ThinkLite have put some thoughtfulness into what they're promoting. So we're testing their product, along with many others."
Though ISU hasn't yet completed a full year of testing of ThinkLite's product, "we're finding them to be a very good product," Currie said. "People walking into a room can't tell the difference between a standard T8 or T12 and their product."
The quality of lighting was an initial concern for Pleasant Hill officials, particularly because the first project was for the library, Sandor said.
"But once samples were brought in, that alleviated that concern," he said. Pleasant Hill's retrofit, which is currently underway, should be completed in less than two weeks. The city's contract with ThinkLite includes the cost of a contractor changing out the bulbs.
"We're optimistic that it will pan out as well as projected," Sandor said. "If it does, there will be a lot of companies that will be excited about this."

A race of beings actually IS invunerable while in adolecence. They age, but cannot be killed. A miniority of the race (1 in 20) does not become invunerable, but rather becomes immortal at some point in thier adolecence, and ceases aging while being vunerable to death in all the normal ways. Another minority (also 1 in 20) Permanatly becomes invunerable after adolecence, but ages twice as fast as the race normally does. There is no known way to test for which of the three traits an individual manifests and the three traits cannot mix, as they are tied to the same gene, as it were.

A smooth and clear face can make you look and feel good. Get rid of those extra hair on your face that make you feel less than sexy.
Instead of visiting a salon, try waxing your face at home to make the treatment cost-effective and convenient.
Purchase the wax
Take a trip to the local drugstore and look for waxes that have been dermatologist tested and are designed for sensitive skin.
A clean face prepares you for the best wax. Rinse and wash your face, as well as your hands, since they'll be touching the wax first.
Heat it to the apt temperature
Follow the directions according to the wax packaging and heat it to the specified temperature. Don't forget to check to make sure that it isn't too hot for your precious facial skin.
The trick
Spread wax onto your face in a thin, even layer. Apply a strip and leave it on for the recommended amount of time. Pull the strip off in a rapid motion, pulling in the opposite direction of hair growth. Avoid pulling hair upwards, as it can cause hair to break and appear to grow back faster.
Soothe your skin
Immediately apply pressure to the waxed area to avoid extra discomfort. Avoid waxing more than once, as it can cause unnecessary damage to the skin. Apply a layer of your favorite facial lotion to relieve skin.
Exfoliating your skin a day or two before you wax will help provide a smooth surface on which to wax. A regular wax can last from two to four weeks. Exfoliating will help extend the time between waxes to the four week max.
Caution: Do a test run. To ensure that you do not have any allergies to the wax, do a test strip on an arm or a leg.

Venting for NG direct vent fireplace in basement
I'm about to get quotes for a Napoleon Natural Gas direct vent fireplace for the basement. The venting that will be used is 5"/8" flexible. Will they be able to vent between the rim joists? The rim joists are 9 1/2" tall and spaced 16".
Will that be sufficent spacing for Ontario Canada, or will they have to go through the foundation wall? Cheers |
The manual will tell you clearance to combustibles for that pipe typically 1"on sides and bottom and 3"on top. I would look into heat n glo fireplaces if they are available in your area
Thanks Heaty,
I had looked at the manual but missed that part. You were correct other then its 2" for sides and bottom while horizontal. Why do you suggest heat n glo? |
Been installing heat n glo for years, have installed many different brands and I like that brand best
Thanks for the info and suggestion. cheers
