It was bound to happen…It was inevitable. For well over a year the talk in the markets has been when is the Fed going to begin tapering the stimulus program?
As I am sure you have heard by now, the announcement finally came on Wednesday afternoon with the FOMC's policy announcement and FOMC market forecast. It is official…the tapering will begin in January with a reduction of 10 billion dollars a month in bond purchases.
The reaction from the stock market was euphoria. On the news, the DOW rose 262 point in the second half of the trading day on Wednesday. The investor excitement stemmed from the upbeat forecast from the Fed on the expected growth of the economy. Good economic news and expectations means good news for stock values.

While the sun shines in some parts of the world, it rains in others. The bond market on the Fed news tanked. The Fed stimulus program has been artificially keeping interest rates low. With the beginning of the tapering interest rates will rise. However, bond investors know that rising rates will erode the values of their bond holdings, which is why there was a flood of investors jumping out of the bond market once they heard the Fed plan.
Months ago, it was thought that higher interest rates would kill the economic recovery and push housing activity and growth back to a crawl. With the latest Fed report, the belief seems now that the economy and housing market are strong enough to sustain slightly higher interest rates.
The Fed tapering plan is going to be extremely gradual so any large jump in rates should be averted. Some experts are predicting that the whole tapering plan will take at least a couple of years before it is completely terminated. Remember, the last thing the Fed wants to do is cut support for economic growth too quickly as that would have a devastating effect on the economy.
The Housing Market Index, which measures home builder sentiment on future housing growth, shot back up 4 points. Currently the index is at the highest point it has been since the economic recovery began and it ends a 3-month trend of declines in the index.
On the flip side, existing home sales fell a sharp 4.3% for the month of November. This is the fourth straight month of disappointment.
The negative report is not due to a lack of buyers or the inability for them to obtain mortgage financing. The decline is primarily because there are just not enough homes on the market for sale. The worst part of the report is that existing home sales are actually 1.2% below where they were a year ago.
This is the first time since the beginning of the recovery that we have seen contraction in sales from the prior year. Higher mortgage rates may be a small contributing factor to the decline as well.

Respond to Review of La Villa Del Chef
by AnitaBonghit
Review: I was very excited to find a location that was vegan friendly in Flores, unfortunately this place is not. They had a few options that were marked "v" for vegetarian. I clarified that this "V" actually meant vegetarian than explained to the waiter that I am in fact Vegan. I went on to explain very clearly what vegan is. I asked if the veggie burger was made with egg and was told that it was. That option was out. I chose deluxe nachos(v) and asked "sin queso". The nachos came "sin queso" but as I ate a few chips I realized the texture in the sauce was chewy and unfamiliar. I examined a piece and realized that it was actually meat! I asked the waiter "es carné?" Hoping that he would say it was soy meat, he confirmed "si, es carné". He offered to bring me another dish but at that point I felt so ill and skeptical of the restaurant that I did not want anything else. The waiter went away and wouldn't even come back to bring my friend an I our check for the drinks. He sent another lady over. She apologized with the excuse that the cook was new and he didn't know the menu. Incompetent and unexuseable, don't eat hear unless you like meat in your vegan food and eggs in your veggie burger.

The number of girls opting for Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE), Computer Science Engineering (CSE) and Information Technology (IT) is almost double that of boys selecting these three streams.
Of the 11,010 students admitted to colleges in the Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions (TNEA) 2011 till the fifth day of counselling, 5,844 are boys and 5,166 are girls. In ECE, 1,707 were girls and 995 were boys out of the 2,702 students choosing the stream in the first five days.
In CSE and IT, the number of girls is almost the double that of the boys opting for these courses mainly due to the nature of career in future. About 1,140 girls have joined CSE and 609 in IT compared to that of 563 and 324 boys respectively. Bio-technology is another subject preferred by girls. Of the 135 seats allotted, 109 are girls.
Girls, as usual, have preferred not joining engineering courses such as mechanical and automobile, which are physical in nature.
In mechanical engineering, the number of girls is negligible. Of the 1,847 seats taken till now, 1,827 are boys and 20, girls.
In automobile engineering, all the 109 students admitted are boys. As many as 415 boys opted for civil engineering compared to 267 girls. In aeronautical also, the boys easily outnumber girls.
Only in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, there is some balance with 127 boys and 159 girls.
Of all seats admitted till now, 2,129 have preferred Anna University departments, 3,158 government and aided colleges and 5,723 opted for self financing engineering colleges in the State.
As many as 1.29 lakh more seats are waiting to be filled in the next 30 days of counselling under single window admission.
On Tuesday, the number of students attending counselling was improved by 200 to be around 3,200 and the absent rate was 15.62 per cent with 505 students failing to turn up with 12 skipping the counselling altogether.

Stoke City: The good, the bad and the dodgy of Stoke's transfer wheeler-dealing
Posted: January 31, 2013|
STOKE have gone desperately close to signing a gaffe-prone goalkeeper, a future England captain – and Damien Francis – as the club's managers have diced with the transfer market over the years.
Contracts have been drawn up and pens unleashed ready for that all-important signature, only for the moves to fall flat, much to the frustration of bosses from Tony Waddington to Tony Pulis.
The stoppers earmarked for a Stoke switch included David James (2010) and Tony Warner (2004) before last-minute U-turns took them elsewhere.
But perhaps none got closer than Scott Carson and Marton Fulop in the gloves saga of 2008 just after Stoke had won promotion back to the top flight.
"Stoke were anxiously awaiting an answer from Carson after stepping up their efforts to make him the most expensive signing in the club's history," reported The Sentinel in July of that year.
A £3.5m deal had been agreed and Pulis even had a 20-minute chat with Carson at Stoke's training ground while the glum-faced Liverpool keeper pondered whether to join the Potters or West Bromwich Albion.
But Carson showed the indecisiveness to which Baggies fans would soon become accustomed, so Pulis opted to sign Fulop from Sunderland ... only to end up with Thomas Sorensen.
The great Dane bounced back from being released by Aston Villa to win a contract at Stoke and go on to become the rock upon which Pulis built his Premier League defence.
Plenty of defenders have been sized up for red and white stripes before deciding they either didn't like the colour or the manager or, as was often the case, discover that the manager no longer fancied them.
Pulis has been within a whisker of signing Wigan's Jason De Vos (2004) and Rangers' Carlos Cuellar (2008) while even announced himself last summer that Dynamo Kiev's Goran Popov was on his way to the Brit. He ended up at the Hawthorns.
"In the end, for one reason or another, the club just couldn't do the deal," Pulis toldThe Sentinel, presumably cursing the satnav that sent the left-back heading for Sandwell instead of taking junction 15 on the M6.
The greatest "what-if" of the Stoke back line, however, may have come in the 1980s when Mick Mills went to scout Fulham right-back Paul Parker.
Mills was impressed, but not with Parker. He signed the left-back instead, Cliff Carr.
A couple of years later, Carr was in the Stoke team relegated to the Third Division while Parker was setting up England's equaliser in a World Cup semi-final. Of course, Mills had been an England left-back himself, so perhaps that's where the problem lay.
The nearly-men could pack out a midfield, with Stoke having made failed moves for the likes of Chris Sedgwick (2004), Paul Ifill and Gary Teale (2007) and Joe Ledley (2008). All fell in the final furlong.
Steve Sidwell and the vastly overrated Damien Francis, pictured below, were sounded out in the summer of 2003, and Pulis could hardly conceal his rage that the club's then Icelandic board would not complete the deals.
Francis turned Stoke down again in 2006, another near miss, but to find another of Stoke's great transfer own-goals you need to return to the Mick Mills era.
David Platt was ripping up the scoring charts at nearby Crewe Alexandra, and Mills had a good look after a tip-off from Waddington. He decided he had better options already in situ at the Victoria Ground, like Graham Shaw.
Platt, by this time a Villa player, ended up in that same World Cup semi-final team as Parker.
As for near-misses up front – we mean players, of course, not goals, Bobby Zamora went as far as calling his old friend Darel Russell as he mulled over a move to City in 2005.
"It was as good as being done, but it just didn't quite happen," Russell explained, stopping short of revealing just what he had told Zamora during that fateful phone call.
Rob Hulse was wined and dined by the club when he sat in the directors' box to witness a 1-0 home defeat by Leeds in 2005 on the brink of a £1m transfer – then went and joined Leeds instead the following month.
It was simply a lack of cash that stopped Pulis getting Andy Cole or Danny Webber in 2007, and Nicky Forster in 2005, while Demba Ba's knee stopped his arrival in 2011.
After goal-littered stopovers at West Ham, Newcastle and now Chelsea, Stoke fans are still waiting to see that dodgy knee explode.
A few years earlier, Port Vale's Tony Naylor admitted he could not quite bring himself to cross the Potteries divide to join the Chic Bates revolution in 1997, while the Icelandic board refused to sanction Pulis's £1m move for a certain Peter Crouch in 2004.
Peter Osgood, though, went as far as a reconnaissance mission to Stoke-on-Trent as he toyed with joining his old Chelsea pal Alan Hudson at the Vic in 1974.
He was an interested spectator as Stoke played Liverpool, and then had a night out at The Place in Hanley. Having survived that ordeal – Stoke's players could certainly party in those days – Osgood suddenly quit football altogether after Chelsea refused to sell him. Then just as suddenly signed for Southampton.
"I had great hopes of Osgood lining up alongside Hudson, but from what he told me he joined Southampton because he would not have to leave his home in Epsom," revealed Waddington.
And Osgood's legacy, presumably, is why no-one has seen any players linked with Stoke on fact-finding missions in Hanley this month.

It has only a twice-weekly paediatric nephrology clinic
The inpatient wing has only five beds
Doctors struggle
to get patients
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Absence of a full-fledged paediatric nephrology unit at Sree Avittom Tirunal Hospital for women and children here is coming as an impediment to providing quality medical care for children having renal diseases.
Since 1998, the hospital has a paediatric nephrology clinic, and in 2001, a full-fledged dialysis unit was set up.
In 2004, a haemodialysis unit was set up with allocation from the MP's fund of the late P.K. Vasudevan Nair.
A year ago, a nephrology inpatient wing with five beds was set up.
Space constraints and a lack of adequate number of beds, doctors, nursing staff and technicians prevent the hospital from providing medical care for the increasing renal problems among children.
No nurses
The twice-weekly clinic is headed by Susan Uthup, paediatric nephrologist. The clinic does not have any nursing staff on the rolls.
The hospital development committee has made available the service of a dialysis technician on a temporary basis.
With a single technician, the unit is performing two haemodialysis daily, catering to adolescent and young adult patient also.
Sixty cases of children with renal problems arrive at the clinic every month. At least eight children need to be admitted at a time and it is a big task for the doctor to arrange beds for all.
Children with renal diseases constitute 8 to 10 per cent of the paediatric admissions in the hospital. A proposal to set up a full-fledged unit by appointing a senior lecturer, three nursing staff and a dialysis technician on a permanent basis has been awaiting clearance from the Department of Health for several years.
Nephrokid 2008
The Department of Paediatrics, in association with the Paediatric Nephrology chapter of the Indian Association of Paediatrics Kerala, organised the first annual meeting of the Paediatric Nephrology Chapter of IAP Kerala here on September 21
'Protect the Young Kidneys' was the theme of the meet that focussed on the practical aspects in the early recognition and management of common renal diseases in children.
Congenital renal problems, such as obstructions in the urethral valve and nephrotic syndrome, needs regular and consistent follow-up to check renal failure, says Dr. Uthup, who was the organising secretary of the meet.

My Veteran Packs are broken
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
Out of the last 20 or so Veteran Packs, I've had 2 gold items (both characters I already have) and no silver items. In almost every pack, every single item has had a blue border. It's been doing this since yesterday. Before that, I was getting at least an uncommon (silver) in every pack.
Has this happened to anyone else? Surely this is beyond bad luck.
Once you have all of the silvers aside from Locust and Turian (which seem to be treated as Golds for rarity purposes) you stop getting them.
Posted from my Xbox360 with 360FAQS v1.1
It took me 34 veteran packs to get my first gold. I have a level 6 vanguard (I've never touched my vanguard - it's gotten that far from the silvers that I've gotten) and most of my guns - except sniper rifles - were maxed when I got my first gold.
I feel your pain.
Pretend there are awe-inspiring lyrics
or oh-so-hilarious quotations here, please.
From: infinitexx | #002
Ah, that probably explains it. For some reason that never crossed my mind. I'm pretty sure I do have all the silver items actually (apart from the Locust, but as you said...).
From: SkytheWiz1 | #003
Sorry, I've been pretty luck with the golds actually. :p Looks like I'm not getting much because I already have everything.
Wait...I thought the Veteran Packs always include "at least one uncommon." I took this to mean you'll always get at least one Gold or Silver card. If you weren't getting either, what were you getting?
or are things like Armor/Weapon equipment (the items that last one full match) counted as "uncommons?"
I used to get a Gold every 3 veteran packs... Not anymore tho ...

Where there are no Silvers left in the pool (other than the aforementioned two) they are replaced with +12.5k xp human commons.
Posted from my Xbox360 with 360FAQS v1.1
The way it works is thus: A veteran pack is guaranteed an uncommon. There are three classes: Common, uncommon, and rare. Each of the items, or at least 3 of them, anyway, (I've never seen more than 3 uncommons in a pack) does a check to see what tier it will be. However, the 5th is and always will be an uncommon . . . except if there are no uncommons left. I'm sure the coding is something like this:
Item 5: Rolls to see if its uncommon or rare
If uncommon, it checks to see if there are any uncommons left
If so, it will randomly pick one of the uncommons
If not, it will give a common
In other words, just because an uncommon is guaranteed doesn't mean you default to rare if you have all the uncommons. A rare is a different class of item entirely. Its because of this fact that if I were still playing the demo, I would be considering opening Recruit packs instead of Veteran, because I unlocked every single uncommon, so I get maybe 1 rare per 15 packs now.
Uncommons are:
Every gun mod
Phalanx Pistol
Predator Pistol
Maelstrom SMG
Shuriken SMG
Avenger Assault Rifle
Mattock Assault Rifle
Katana Shotgun
Scimitar Shotgun
Mantis Sniper
Viper Sniper
Once every mod is level V, and every one of these guns is X, you will suddenly stop getting good items in vet packs. Its very dramatic actually; I opened 10 veteran packs at once, got an item on the first three, the third gave me my last gun mod, and proceeded to get NOTHING on the later 7.
Pokemon White Friendcode - 2193-7011-1635
I'm like 90% cure it's on a daily cooldown. Every night the last 2 weeks after work I get home, shower, eat dinner then play the demo. The first vet pack always gets me a gold, then nothing for the rest of the night. Next day, same thing. I either have the oddest luck, or there's some sort of internal clock that checks to see when you last unlocked a gold card.
That looks like something fat Steven Seagal would wear.
You just have weird luck, I think. I've gotten golds in the middle of a session, and the other night I got two golds in a row.

With online poker refusing to leave the legislative stage in Sacramento, and with many of California's biggest gaming tribes pushing hard for a seat at the table, one questions looms: Will the state tax the money that tribes and their members make off of online poker?
It's a question up to the Legislature and governor, if they decide to finally go ahead with online poker franchises for California citizens.
"It would depend on how the bill is written," said Allison Harvey, director of governmental affairs for the United Auburn Indian Community, one of the California's largest casino gaming tribes. "Since it's not a part of federal law, they would have to do it through state law."
It's not a question that will likely make a huge difference in the state's looming budget deficit. But for individual tribal members, it could mean a big difference in income. For many tribal members, casino incomes aren't subject to taxation by the state — but only if the person is a tribal member living on their own tribe's reservation and the casino is also located there.
This distinction saves significant money for many of the estimated 3,500 tribal members receiving "per capita" payments from casino compacts. Since many of these people receive upwards of $20,000 a month, a significant portion of their income could be hit by California's 9.5 percent top marginal tax rate.

In a small corner of New Mexico is one of the biggest baseball events in the country.
Farmington has hosted the Connie Mack World Series for the past 50 years and every year it puts Farmington on the map.
Young baseball players from around the country get a chance to show their best. Possibly catch a scout's eye and even meet some of baseball's best.
From the minute these players arrive they are treated like royalty. They get a police escort from the airport and even a downtown parade, but they're not staying in five star hotels. For a touch of hometown Farmington the players are set up with a host family during the week.
"What makes it so unique, is how the people of Farmington open their homes to welcome all the players of the different teams. And they stay in their homes, as their guests. And New Mexican's make them part of their family," said Gov. Susana Martinez.
Major leaguers like Griffey, Muser, Harlow, Larkin, and Ward all played here.
"It's an opportunity to play against some of the best young talent in the country," said Ken Griffey, Jr.
Every year this New Mexico community rallies around Ricketts Park to see some great baseball and maybe catch a glimpse of a future major leaguer.

A certain website (which shall remain nameless here), has been advocating the use of grapefruit juice to help increase penis size, and we wanted to explore whether this option is actually true.
Ever since the dawn of mankind, there have been several "home remedies" out there which promise to increase penis size, ranging from the absolutely ridiculous to the possibly effective. We all know that grapefruit juice is good for you, but can it really help you grow a
bigger penis? Let's find out.
So What's The Deal? Does it REALLY Work?
Back to the purveyors of the story. The theory goes like this; if you're taking a male enhancement pill (none is specified), by drinking grapefruit juice you are enhancing the bioavailability of nutrients, very similar to the way Bioperine does it. This same site also talks about topics such as "7 major mistakes you must avoid if you want to make your penis bigger", as well as why penises are so much bigger today than 20 years ago. So how does it do this? Well, the secret is that
As a pill makes it way through your body, there is something called the "first pass" effect, which is a fancy term for the amount of a drug/nutrient that gets blocked through the liver and gut wall. Because of this "first pass" effect and the metabolism that is broken down, the concentration of a pills ingredients are broken down and "blocked" from reaching your system, thereby eliminating some of the effects.
What grapefruit juice does is it inhibits the cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 enzyme, which allows for more of the drug/nutrient to pass through the metabolic process. This allows you to essentially get "more" out of a pill than if you had not drank any grapefruit juice.
In some cases, this can be a bad thing (even fatal), allowing too much of a drug to be absorbed, but this normally only occurs with certain medications. So, how would something like this increase penis size? Well, because grapefruit juice is a potent inhibitor of CYP3A4, if you are taking a supplement you will be getting greater effects from the supplement than if you weren't drinking it.
But therein lays the problem, there is no clinical research to suggest that it will increase the bioavailability of non-synthetic ingredients. Furthermore, getting too much of something may actually increase the risk of side effects, or even potentially make it less effective.
The Health Benefits of Grapefruit Juice
While I personally don't like the taste of grapefruit, there is no doubt that it can produce a wide variety of benefits. Since it is packed with Vitamin C, it is know as a very potent antioxidant, which helps to protect against immune deficiencies, help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, and even shorten the duration of the common cold.
There are literally THOUSANDS of supplements that contain Vitamin C, and the National Institute of health recommends a daily allowance of 500 mg. The average glass of grapefruit juice (8 oz) contains 92 mg of Vitamin C, so in essence you would need to consume 1.25 quarts of grapefruit juice to meet the daily allowance. That's alot of Grapefruit juice!
Of course, you get Vitamin C from several other foods that you eat throughout the day, although it is pretty difficult to meet the 500 mg daily allowance just by eating foods. It is suggested that you take a multi vitamin to do this, or even a Vitamin C supplement.
Grapefruit juice also contains other elements, including a healthy dose of calcium, potassium, and folic acid, among others. There is no doubt that grapefruit juice is healthy for you, but can it really increase penis size?
The Bottom line
It may be worth testing out this theory on your own, and we will begin experimenting with this as well to see if it can be proven on our end. As to the idea that grapefruit juice alone will help to grow your penis, of course it won't. But, there is some truth to the fact that it will help increase the bioavailability of a nutrient. Keep in mind that if you do decide to try a male enhancement supplement and drink grapefruit juice with it, that you probably should start out with the lowest dosage possible, to see what kind of effect you get from it. At the very least it will give you a boost in Vitamin C, and help you lead an overal healthier life.

FULL SYNC // Send the mercenaries into a fight.
The Templar overseer you need to take out is nearby. Run for the yellow mini-map marker and, en route, hire the mercenary group whose path you cross—they charge just 150 florins (unless you have been using them often in which case they will be cheaper).
You'll need them in order to get full synchronization. Upon entering the yellow area marked on the map, use eagle vision to pick out the target overseer.
Target the overseer with your camera and command the hired mercenaries to go into battle. After that, help the crew clean up the enemies. When all are dead, the mission ends.

State Sen. Bill Emmerson announces resignation
Republican state Sen. Bill Emmerson announced Friday that he is resigning in midterm, citing his waning enthusiasm for a job he has held since 2010.
His resignation will take effect Dec. 1, according to a statement posted on his official website and confirmed by spokesmen for Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.
Emmerson, 68, of Redlands, has represented his Southern California district since 2004, when he was elected to the Assembly. He won his Senate seat in 2010, and would have been forced out of office by term limits in 2016.
His resignation sets up a special election but is not expected to change the composition of the Senate, where Democrats hold a two-thirds supermajority.
Republicans have 41 percent of registered voters to Democrats' 34 percent in the district that includes parts of Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
"In these past few months, my passion has waned and my constituents deserve a Senator with the level of commitment that I once had," Emmerson said in the statement.
He called his nine years of service "some of the most fulfilling years of my life" and "an honor" but said it is time to move on. He said he remains in perfect health.
Mark Hedlund, spokesman for the Senate President Pro Tem's office, said it came as a surprise when Emmerson submitted his resignation Friday afternoon.

Critical Essay by George Edgar Slusser
SOURCE: "Fahrenheit 451," in The Bradbury Chronicles, The Borgo Press, 1977, pp. 52-4.
In the following excerpt, Slusser explores the development of Fahrenheit 451, focusing on how it differs from its source, Bradbury's novella "The Fireman."
Fahrenheit 451 is an expansion of the 56-page novella "The Fireman." The latter is not a good story: it is the kind of Bradbury most readers never see. How did the author rework this material into a classic? Fahrenheit is two and a half times longer. Yet it has essentially the same number of episodes. "The Fireman" consists almost entirely of events and discussion; these are strung out in tedious fashion. Bradbury rearranges the original elements. As he does so, he tightens the story in order to expand it in new directions. Fahrenheit deepens the social and natural contexts. In this matrix, new intricacies of character, and more profound personal relationships, are shaped.
Both versions begin in media res, but in quite different ways. The novella opens in the firehouse. Montag is already asking questions: how would it feel to have firemen burning our houses and our books? The alarm follows—the old woman immolates herself. Here is Montag's visible moment of fall: "his hand closed like a trap" on a book. He goes home to his wife, begins to examine his life. We learn he has been taking books home all along. Bradbury must explain Montag's strange actions: the firehouse, the books. To offset a clumsy beginning, he resorts to clumsier flashbacks. Here Clarisse comes in. Perhaps the people moving in next door had been the start of his new awareness: "One night (it was so long ago) he had gone out for a walk."
The first scene of Fahrenheit is his meeting with Clarisse. A man comes home from a routine day, and confronts the unusual. Confused, he passes on to his house, and finds his wife dying of an overdose of sedatives. In "Fireman," this was a remembered detail. It becomes a striking scene: two macabre medics come with their "electric-eyed snake" and pump her out. Montag is stunned: "Strangers … take your blood. Who were those men?" Questions are yanked from him by these extraordinary happenings. Now the flow of time loosens. There is the first scene at the firehouse, and interludes with Clarisse. Suddenly she is there no more. Time contracts. We have the alarm—the old woman burns. Once again, Montag is driven; he seizes the book, going home to collapse. If he rebels, it is passively, stalling the world as he gropes for answers. This rhythm of constriction and release continues all across the narrative. The changes in the order of sequences are highly significant. Montag is no longer a man instantly aware, immediately in revolt. Clear issues are transformed into atmosphere and vague oppressions. During the first scene of "Fireman," the radio blares: war may be declared any minute. Now there is no mention, although planes are constantly in the sky. To create mood, the role of the Mechanical Hound is expanded. In the novella, it appears only during the chase. Now it is present from the start. It is in a niche at the firehouse; as Montag passes it stirs—later it will haunt and harry him. The Hound becomes his guilt and nemesis. Montag's fall plunges deep into some unconscious past. Those otherbooks behind the grate were taken before: to what end? Only now does he begin to explore their meaning. He will not grasp it at all until the very last. Captain Beatty has long suspected something, and tuned the Hound to him. Like the war that frames it, the drama that now surfaces is something long stirring in the depths of things. In "Fireman," Montag is made too immediately aware (Clarisse shows him the rain: "Why, it's wine!"), too critical for a man in his situation—a fireman emerging from cultural night.
And the issues are also too clear in this tale. In Fahrenheit, they purposely become opaque: either the figures are not aware of them, or their complexities of character make words and actions ambiguous. The earlier Millie had a stand—books are for "professors and radicals." In the novel, she has become a zombie, befuddled and forlorn, less a mouthpiece for reactionary ideas than a slave to her "parlor" of illusion. In "Fireman," the Captain is simply the enemy, a servant of law and order. Beatty, however, is a complex, twisted being—a scourge of books who speaks exclusively in quotes. His cat and mouse game, Montag realizes, is suicidal—"Beatty had wanted to die!" Faber's role too is altered. His meeting with Montag, in "Fireman," was merely the excuse for discussion. The hero wants to start a "revolution," to plant books in firemen's houses all across the nation. Faber tells him this is folly—the whole civilization has to fall before anything can be done. This is a key idea in Fahrenheit. But it is not said outright; rather it is implied in the futile gropings of the characters, men who hardly understand their own motivations, let alone have any clear social purpose. When Montag, later, does plant one book, it is a hopeless gesture. Faber is both afraid and ineffectual. Out of their meeting comes no revolutionary plan, only human contact. Bradbury adds another device here—the "seashell" radio. Montag has not asked Faber to help him, as much as "to teach him." Now a guiding voice goes with him. This too is ineffectual; over Faber's admonitions, Montag explodes, and recites poetry to his wife's friends, betraying himself. But two beings are linked: in this fragmented world, it is a start.
Changes in the final scene help reshape Fahrenheit. The crucial moment is the rebirth, in Montag's mind, of Ecclesiastes. He had tried to memorize it before, and had despaired. Now, as the city falls, as he holds to the earth "as children do," it floods back. Earlier, he had plunged into the dark river, emerging into real nature: the fire of the sun, rather than man's perverted fire. The Mechanical Hound is replaced by a deer. But nature's darkness is also overwhelming. His dream of the hayloft—"a glass of milk, an apple, a pear"—is drowned in immensity: "Too much land!" He is saved by the campfire—flame that warms not burns. Once more, as with Faber, the paltry spark of human companionship is the merest beginning. In "Fireman" there is no evocation of nature, and little of this complex fire imagery. Montag's final triumph is sapped when characters discuss the faculty of "eidetic" memory. He tries to recall the Bible and can't; he is told to relax—"it will come when you need it." Bradbury shapes this rough skeleton into an extended statement of lyrical force. Indeed, if the early story seeks toexpose, Fahrenheit mourns—the didactic tale has become elegy. Again there is the confused seeker after knowledge, again we see a world where excessive tolerance ironically leads to suppression of inquiry. The individual is powerless before the holocaust. Like the boy in "The Smile," he can only snatch away a fragment to preserve. Thought destroys, but memory abides. These last men do not interpret their books. Out of some strange fear of the old sin of pride, they are reduced to being the books, memorizing them one by one, and reciting them when needed. The tradition of oral history has come full circle.

Great Theme… GLWS
Hi, great theme, would you make it for wordpress?
No plans for a WordPress version.
I loved the theme, but it seems incomplete if comparing to other templates here on TF. Do you plan on adding other stuff to it?
What kind of stuff do you mean?
Pricing table inside the page, color options, full width page, sliders, forms, etc. I am not sure you have those, but it doesn't look like from the demo.
Nice looking theme. How can you activate the login section? Do i need a CMS for that? If yes, which CMS do you suggest?
Keep up the good work!
Kind regards, Keno
Hello Keno,
There's not any functionality in the login page. This is a basic HTML template
It could be used as a login for a user to the hosting dashboard etc.
It's wonderful template and I've purchased it, Just I want to ask you for a favor, could you please make a version for it for drupal?
Thanks in advance,
I have no plans for a Drupal version.
Is this theme WHMC Ready? Meaning able to integrate WHMC into easily?
Does My Theme have a company website?
No, it's not.
At the moment we don't have a company website. We're too busy designing themes, and doing freelance work

I need some lifeline help
I want to get new lifelines and was going to take them off and measure them today but I am not sure what to do with the way they are now and the bow pulpit. The boat is a Tartan 30 and the life lines are led down to the deck at the bow. The Cat 27 next to me is the same way. If I run the line level to the attachment point on the pulpit the line turns about 15-20* towards the outside of the boat. The way the bow pulpit angles to the outside the life line would be 6-8 inches outside the toerail. Just wondering why the line would be ran down like that in the first place and if I should keep it that way. Personally I would like it to be level the length of the boat but to do that I would have to run the lifeline to the center of the bow pulpit (if I want to keep it inside the toerail "plane") or have it kick out, which seems to pull on the other stanchion. Neither one seems cool to me really. What to do? I just want to pull these and get the job done with but not sure how, exactally to proceed.

TV Stations to Bring out Blazing Guns after Easter; MasterChef Leads Line-Up
Article excerpt
AS the Easter holidays roll in, television grinds to a halt as stations go into their first non-ratings period for the year.
That means all your favourite shows are on hold for a few weeks.
But what it really means is that you can brace yourself for a stellar second half of April as the networks roll out their big guns to give viewers a very exciting run-up to the middle of the year.
Kicking off is Ten, which has been entertaining us with So You Think You Can Dance and The Biggest Loser already this year.
The reality TV fun will continue when ratings juggernaut MasterChef returns.
Taking cooking out of the kitchen and on to our televisions, MasterChef was the little engine that could last year. With so many viewers tuning in, it became the biggest non-sporting event in television history.
More than three million people tuned in to watch 38-year-old IT business owner Julie Goodwin, from New South Wales, beat 35-year-old South Australian artist Poh Ling Yeow to win the crown of Australia's first MasterChef. The popular series will return after Easter.
Still on Ten, fantasy drama series Merlin comes back for a second series after Easter.
This English production, which looks at the relationship between young wizard Merlin and Arthur before he becomes the king of Camelot, was another ratings winner for Ten in 2009. And if the first two episodes are anything to go by, the network can look forward to the same success in 2010.
Starring Colin Morgan as Merlin, Angel Coulby as Guinevere and Bradley James as Prince Arthur, and an adult cast which includes acclaimed actors Anthony Head as Uther Pendragon, the reigning king of Camelot and Richard Wilson as Gaius, Camelot's court physician, the second series builds on the storylines of the first. Merlin must battle to keep Arthur alive without giving away the secret that he performs magic, which is banned in Camelot.
The show has enjoyed enormous ratings in the United Kingdom.
Nine is hoping its Aussie drama stable will pull in the viewers.
When Underbelly first came to our screens in 2008, it changed the way Australians watched television. No longer did just a few people tune in to a selection of shows.
Everyone, it seemed, watched Underbelly (except for Victorians, who had to deal with a pesky court order before seeing it).
The stories of Australia's gangland warfare were hugely popular Co so much so that before we had finished watching series one, the second series was being commissioned and created. …

AHL Game Night 3/14: Admirals at SenatorsSubmitted by pete on March 14, 2009 - 21:57

Kowalski and Radek Smolenak were the game's first and second stars. Smolenak is just one goal away from hitting 20 for the first time in his professional career. Meanwhile, Blair Jones moved just 3 goals shy of accomplishing the same feat.
Two Chris Lawrence sitings in as many nights?

NHL Game Night 3/14: Lightning at PanthersSubmitted by pete on March 14, 2009 - 21:52
God I love beating the Florida Panthers.
Karri Ramo allowed 3 goals on 37 shots in regulation and overtime before stopping all three shooters for the big shootout victory. Ramo has helped his club claim 5 of the last 6 available points, all in road games. The young man is staking his claim to be Mike Smith's backup next season. We're watching a boy becoming a man under some very tough circumstances.
First Period
15:49 FLA Frolik (18), (Booth)

17:11 FLA Booth (25), (Stillman, Weiss)(PP)
18:21 TB Murphy (5), (St. Louis, Stamkos)(PP)

13:42 TB St. Louis (26), (Krajicek, Petiot)
16:30 TB Halpern (5), (Petiot, Prospal)
TB- Stamkos
Noah Welch was -1 with 2 penalty minutes, 3 hits, and 2 blocked shots in 10:19.
Matt Smaby was +1 with 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, 3 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 25:36. Whereas Ramo is growing up before our eyes, I dare not call Smaby anything less than a grown-ass man out there right now.
Paul Szczechura had 1 shot and 1 hit in 14:01. He was also 36% on 11 draws.
Martins Karsums had 5 hits and 1 blocked shot in 9:28. There's something Ryan Johnson-esque about the way he racks up hit totals despite being physically ineffective.
Richard Petiot had 2 assists and was +2 with 5 hits and 2 blocked shots in 21:36. He skates like a horse, but somehow he manages to get the job done. He's completely outshined Noah Welch so far, which I doubt anybody saw coming when the two overage prospects were acquired at the deadline.

Heres my overclock setup,

CPU Frequency - 356 (x6 multiplayer) = 3.22GHz
DRAM Frequency - 712MHz
PCI Express Frequency - 115
PCI Clock Synchronization - 33.33MHz
CPU Vcore - 1.3125v
Memory Volatage - 1.9v
Memory timings - 5-5-5-12
Everything else is on auto & thats over 12 hours Prime96 Small FFTs stable with a load temp of around 50c.
BTW, you do know the latest bios is 1605 for these boards right?
I was just seeing at what temp they would get to. The fuzzy test keeps them around 30% so thought it was good for a quick check. I have used TAT in the past and will download it again from Intel. As far as the bios go I'm a little Leary after recently loosing my P5B Deluxe to a bad flash, which is on its way back to Asus via RMA. Asus no longer puts a bios chip on the board. From what I have been told it is incorporated into the south bridge. STUPID move. Also my new board is the same way. Funny that the P5 died on me after many successful flashes. Oh ya and roger that on the 2 volt memory which is what I have set it on.
Does the PCI Express Frequency - 115 really make that much difference. What does it normally run at?
Nice setup BTW!
Thanks for the OC info.
What are you using on your CPU to cool it?

Smith sends e-mail detailing opposition
Updated: October 12, 2009, 11:15 AM ETBy Chris Mortensen | ESPN
NFL Players executive director DeMaurice Smith on Saturday made a move to solidify the union against a bid by conservative talk show radio host Rush Limbaugh as part of a group that aims to purchase the St. Louis Rams.
In an e-mail to the union's executive committee on Saturday specifically addressing Limbaugh's bid, Smith said, "I've spoken to the Commissioner [Roger Goodell] and I understand that this ownership consideration is in the early stages. But sport in America ...

This refers to the report "Nitish, Farooq favour Bharat Ratna for Vajpayee" (Nov.19). Now, by bringing in the name of the former Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the BJP appears to be looking for electoral gains. The party should remember that Mr. Vajpayee himself has kept away from politics. He is of course a great statesman, with laudable achievements in diplomacy. But India's highest civilian award must be kept free of controversy.
Pulukuri Sowmini,
Mr. Vajpayee is an exemplary leader, able administrator and key person who ensured the overall development of our nation. He deserves the highest honour.
Nithya Mohan,
While Mr. Vajpayee does deserve the award, remember that it was P.V. Narasimha Rao who initiated major economic reforms after he assumed office as Prime Minister in 1991 under challenging domestic and international circumstances. It was because of his bold economic initiatives then that the country has moved forward in the last two decades. Therefore, it would be appropriate to award him the Bharat Ratna.
Srinivasan K.,
Controversy doesn't seem to be far behind. Some leaders are now demanding that the government confer the award on Mr. Vajpayee. But there are statesmen who tower above the rest — C. Rajagopalachari, C.N. Annadurai, Lal Bahadur Shastri, K. Kamaraj, E.M.S. Namboodiripad … The nation's highest civilian award must not be reduced to a political tool in a high-decibel election campaign. It is high time our politicians cease to stoop further.
A.G. Rajmohan,
It is not only shocking but painful to note that the Home Ministry opposed the move to give Sachin Tendulkar the Bharat Ratna (Nov. 19). The conferment of the award on him is a great honour. The award should be given to meritorious persons, irrespective of his or her field of specialisation.
S. Narayanan,

Stat of the Day: Matt Kemp, Willie Mays, and Mickey Mantle
Apr 26, 2012, 5:27 PM EDT
Here's a pretty incredible tidbit, courtesy of MLB's official "Stat of the Day" feed on Twitter:
Matt Kemp joined Mickey Mantle (1956) and Willie Mays (1964) as only CFs in liveball era to hit 10 HRs within their team's first 19 games.
— MLB Stat of the Day (@MLBStatoftheDay) April 26, 2012
Matt Kemp is hitting .449 with 10 homers in 19 games, leading the league in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, hits, total bases, RBIs, runs, and probably several hundred other categories.
As a wise man once said: "Woah."
- b7p19 - Apr 26, 2012 at 6:22 PM
And when can we expect HBT's "Can Matt Kemp hit 85 home runs" post?
- obpedmypants - Apr 26, 2012 at 6:59 PM
it seems recently that baseball is just going overboard with their database queries. every ten minutes some writer or announcer is trying to tell me why some accomplishment isn't just impressive or admirable, but instead that it's historically relevant. curtis granderson doesn't just go 5 for 5 with three HRs, a double and a single. they have to say "no yankee has ever had this exact stat line" as if it really fucking matters. every single play has something happen that has never happened before. even life has it (for example, i'm pretty sure i've never commented on HBT while eating a bell pepper and passing gas). but baseball has been going apeshit with trying to find what about any situation makes it meaningful in a historical context.
kemp is having one helluva start to his season. why can't his stats speak for themselves? if his stats really do occupy a place in history, then they don't need so many qualifications. if only three people have hit this many HRs at this point in the season, tell me that. the fact that he plays defense in CF doesn't do anything but help narrow down the number of people who have hit this many HRs, so it sounds more elite.

- theotherfamousamos - Apr 27, 2012 at 8:15 AM
Your point about going overboard with small sample size stats is well taken, but this is not one of those times in which we should shrug our shoulders over a stat and wonder if it really means anything.
Kemp's start is nothing short of incredible and putting him in the statistical company of Mays and Mantle, two of the top 25 players in history, is noteworthy.
- hsven1887 - Apr 26, 2012 at 7:20 PM
So, who's the guy who hit 10 HRs in 20 games and was deemed unworthy to be mentioned?
- illegalblues - Apr 27, 2012 at 1:09 PM
This guy is just an absolute joy to watch play baseball. Glad good things are starting to happen to the Dodgers

Consistently, one of the more popular stocks people enter into their stock options watchlist at Stock Options Channel is Halliburton Company (HAL). So this week we highlight one interesting put contract, and one interesting call contract, from the October expiration for HAL. The put contract our YieldBoost algorithm identified as particularly interesting, is at the $50 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $1.99. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 4% return against the $50 commitment, or a 6.2% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost).
Top YieldBoost HAL Puts »
Selling a put does not give an investor access to HAL's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised. So unless Halliburton Company sees its shares decline 11.9% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $48.01 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the $1.99 from $50), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 6.2% annualized rate of return.
Worth considering, is that the annualized 6.2% figure actually exceeds the 1.1% annualized dividend paid by Halliburton Company by 5.1%, based on the current share price of $56.85. And yet, if an investor was to buy the stock at the going market price in order to collect the dividend, there is greater downside because the stock would have to lose 11.89% to reach the $50 strike price.
