Farms in Evans Mills and Lisbon will be among 51 across the Northeast that will be open to the public from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 13 for the third annual Open Farm Sunday, which features farms that produce milk made into McCadam and Cabot cheeses.
Country Cousins Farm owners Stanley S. and Sharon E. Horning will participate in the event by talking with visitors and showcasing their herd of 60 cattle and 270 acres of Evans Mills farmland.
In May 2012, the farm started offering day-trip visits and opened a cabin for overnight farm stays.
Featured in Lisbon will be Five Mile Farm, a 600-cow dairy operation with 1,200 acres of farmland. The farm, owned by the Akins family for more than 160 years, recently added a new heifer barn.

20 U.S. Code § 1095a - Wage garnishment requirement
(a) Garnishment requirements
Notwithstanding any provision of State law, a guaranty agency, or the Secretary in the case of loans made, insured or guaranteed under this subchapter and part C of subchapter I of chapter 34 of title 42 that are held by the Secretary, may garnish the disposable pay of an individual to collect the amount owed by the individual, if he or she is not currently making required repayment under a repayment agreement with the Secretary, or, in the case of a loan guaranteed under part B of this subchapter on which the guaranty agency received reimbursement from the Secretary under section 1078 (c) of this title, with the guaranty agency holding the loan, as appropriate, provided that—
(1) the amount deducted for any pay period may not exceed 15 percent of disposable pay, except that a greater percentage may be deducted with the written consent of the individual involved;
(2) the individual shall be provided written notice, sent by mail to the individual's last known address, a minimum of 30 days prior to the initiation of proceedings, from the guaranty agency or the Secretary, as appropriate, informing such individual of the nature and amount of the loan obligation to be collected, the intention of the guaranty agency or the Secretary, as appropriate, to initiate proceedings to collect the debt through deductions from pay, and an explanation of the rights of the individual under this section;
(3) the individual shall be provided an opportunity to inspect and copy records relating to the debt;
(4) the individual shall be provided an opportunity to enter into a written agreement with the guaranty agency or the Secretary, under terms agreeable to the Secretary, or the head of the guaranty agency or his designee, as appropriate, to establish a schedule for the repayment of the debt;
(5) the individual shall be provided an opportunity for a hearing in accordance with subsection (b) of this section on the determination of the Secretary or the guaranty agency, as appropriate, concerning the existence or the amount of the debt, and, in the case of an individual whose repayment schedule is established other than by a written agreement pursuant to paragraph (4), concerning the terms of the repayment schedule;
(6) the employer shall pay to the Secretary or the guaranty agency as directed in the withholding order issued in this action, and shall be liable for, and the Secretary or the guaranty agency, as appropriate, may sue the employer in a State or Federal court of competent jurisdiction to recover, any amount that such employer fails to withhold from wages due an employee following receipt of such employer of notice of the withholding order, plus attorneys' fees, costs, and, in the court's discretion, punitive damages, but such employer shall not be required to vary the normal pay and disbursement cycles in order to comply with this paragraph;
(7) if an individual has been reemployed within 12 months after having been involuntarily separated from employment, no amount may be deducted from the disposable pay of such individual until such individual has been reemployed continuously for at least 12 months; and
(8) an employer may not discharge from employment, refuse to employ, or take disciplinary action against an individual subject to wage withholding in accordance with this section by reason of the fact that the individual's wages have been subject to garnishment under this section, and such individual may sue in a State or Federal court of competent jurisdiction any employer who takes such action. The court shall award attorneys' fees to a prevailing employee and, in its discretion, may order reinstatement of the individual, award punitive damages and back pay to the employee, or order such other remedy as may be reasonably necessary.
(b) Hearing requirements
A hearing described in subsection (a)(5) of this section shall be provided prior to issuance of a garnishment order if the individual, on or before the 15th day following the mailing of the notice described in subsection (a)(2) of this section, and in accordance with such procedures as the Secretary or the head of the guaranty agency, as appropriate, may prescribe, files a petition requesting such a hearing. If the individual does not file a petition requesting a hearing prior to such date, the Secretary or the guaranty agency, as appropriate, shall provide the individual a hearing under subsection (a)(5) of this section upon request, but such hearing need not be provided prior to issuance of a garnishment order. A hearing under subsection (a)(5) of this section may not be conducted by an individual under the supervision or control of the head of the guaranty agency, except that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to prohibit the appointment of an administrative law judge. The hearing official shall issue a final decision at the earliest practicable date, but not later than 60 days after the filing of the petition requesting the hearing.
(c) Notice requirements
The notice to the employer of the withholding order shall contain only such information as may be necessary for the employer to comply with the withholding order.
(d) No attachment of student assistance
Except as authorized in this section, notwithstanding any other provision of Federal or State law, no grant, loan, or work assistance awarded under this subchapter and part C of subchapter I of chapter 34 of title 42, or property traceable to such assistance, shall be subject to garnishment or attachment in order to satisfy any debt owed by the student awarded such assistance, other than a debt owed to the Secretary and arising under this subchapter and part C of subchapter I of chapter 34 of title 42.

Mario Gurule tries to pick up a spare as he works on his game in preparation for the USBC tournament in the spring. He was part of a team of four from Carbon County that took first last year.
Sports passions come in all shapes and sizes. For four Carbon County youth, bowling is their passion. The four have connected up with the United States Bowling Congress (USBC) to participate in their bowling program geared to high school students.
Mario Gurule, Anthony Procarione, Dakota Andrews and Roy Austin competed last year as a team and in singles and doubles competition on a state level. They took first as a team in division three. Austin and Andrews were third in the doubles. Andrews was first in scratch and second in the singles competition. Andrews place third in the singles and Gurule was fourth.
They spend most of the year practicing for the meet that takes place in March. Gurule also heads to Vegas for tournaments to keep himself sharp. The team is sponsored by Jensen Country lanes.
They are hoping to gain some new team mates for this year. They have just started practicing for the spring tournament. They are at Jensen Lanes in Carbonville at 4 p.m. on Thursdays and anyone can came join them. When they are not officially practicing, they are having fun bowling until midnight on Friday nights.
The USBC advertises that there are thousands in scholarship money available for those involved. As of yet, the team is not sure if they have qualified for any, but are looking into it.

Do you have samba installed on the Linux box? You'll need that to do networking with the Win box.
Can you ping the Windows box from the Linux machine by it's IP adrress and vice-versa?
I have a tiny network with two computers.
COMPUTER A: Windows 98SE ( partition 1 ) and RED HAT LINUX 8 ( partition 2 ). GRUB is the launcher.-
COMPUTER B: Windows 98SE
Computer A IN WINDOWS: 192.168.0.1 - netmask 255.255.255.0. Thats all.
Computer B only-windows: 192.168.0.2 - netmask 255.255.255.0. Thats all.
I boot both in windows. I PING the machines. I ping themselves. THE TINY NETWORK under Windows WORKS FINE.
So far, so good.
Now i want to make the "other net" to learn and test LINUX. In the future i plan to use the Kylix language.
I boot the COMPUTER A with RED HAT 8. It has the eth0 well configured.
i ping the card fine. ping localhost...shows what i expect.
/etc/hosts says:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.1 servidor.linux servidor
Hostname says "servidor".
IPTABLES shows nothing. it says ACCEPT in every line.
ROUTE shows both things.
NFS is mounted, IPTABLES is mounted
( testing all this i stopped and started the service without success)
/etc/resolv.conf says nothing. is empty.
more? under /etc/sysconfig/network says "hostname=servidor.linux"...i put another things in it, but always RH8 leaves the file like that.
What other things? NETWORKING='yes"...but always i back to see the file and i see the hostname word only...
The other files network related shows the same things. There are nothing else.
I Boot the computer A. login as "root". NO ERRORS on any services.
There are no alias on eth0, nothing. My Linux is...pure. No firewalls. Nothing, nada, niet...
I boot the COMPUTER B. i go the DOS prompt
IN LINUX I PING SERVIDOR itself ....fine.
IN WINDOWS I PING 192.168.0.2 ( the same machine )...fine.
I ping FROM LINUX (A) TO WINDOWS (B)....DESTINATION HOST UNREACHABLE.
I ping FROM WINDOWS (B) to LINUX (A)...time exausted.
Remember WINDOWS NT and its horrible "hardware list compatible" book?
Does LINUX have another? LINUX is more of the same thing?
Time I did the tiny LAN with Windows98SE: 10 minutes.
From two weeks ago I face with this problem. Nobody on the net says ANYTHING about this "LAN HOME NETWORKING with two stupid machines with Linux and Windows"
Im the only person on this world with this problem?
All people says me: "On internet you...", "The DNS..", my anger grows...I dont have internet connection here, i dont have DNS,
I-just-want-a-simple-ping-between LINUX AND WINDOWS.
ALL SAMBA STUFF will come later when I-CAN-PING-MY-F***ING-MACHINES and I can share files.
Im not a geek. Im just a simple Systems Engineer. I write applications and programs for bussiness. My knowledge about the TCP/IP is simple. With Windows or Novell networks i use what i know about TCP/IP and never I had any problem.
Can you imaging how I feel with I hear "LINUX will be THE ORGASM...its the future...its the best" and i-can-not-get-any-answer-from-my-machines-when-i-ping-each-other"
Detail: My Home LAN is a coaxial cable with two NIC cards 3Com model '97. I insist: on Windows , they work fine.
Do I have any hope?
Do you have samba installed on the Linux box? You'll need that to do networking with the Win box.
Can you ping the Windows box from the Linux machine by it's IP adrress and vice-versa?
I think that you are confusing 2 things:
A)That Linux is good
B)That Linux is easy.
They are two different things.
Apart from that,
I do not think you can have communications without specifying a gateway.
How are these machines connected? (One to the other, through a hub/switch, etc.)
the command ifconfig eth0 will give you all the information regarding your network card, similar to the Windows ipconfig /all or winipcfg command.
Can you post the results of the ifconfig eth0 command from the linux box and the winipcfg command on the second box?
Ill take a stab at this ;D
Okay Red hat 8 ... I remember those days ;D About a year ago I was going goo-goo-gaa-gaa over it :'( Such fond memories...
Anyhoo. To get them on the same network first do this (Since I am unsure whther you have X installed, much less any of the tui tools -- we go the long way for insurance that it will work):
On your redhat box, go in /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default
Now take a look at ifcfg-eth0
That shows we have an ethernet device setup.Code:[schotty@andrew devices]$ cat ifcfg-eth0 # Lite-On|LNE100TX DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=00:A0:CC:28:A0:F9 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no PEERDNS=no
Now that we have hardware there, lets check the driver status :
Do a 'dmseg | less'
There is my selection stating that my nic has had a succesful driver load.Code:Linux Tulip driver version 0.9.15-pre12 (Aug 9, 2002) PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0b.0 tulip0: MII transceiver #1 config 3100 status 7829 advertising 01e1. divert: allocating divert_blk for eth0 eth0: Lite-On 82c168 PNIC rev 32 at 0xf0abc000, 00:A0:CC:28:A0:F9, IRQ 11. ip_tables: (C) 2000-2002 Netfilter core team eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII#1 link partner capability of 01e1.
Okay, now lets goto DNS (as you may have seen, my card has DHCP, and is configured. You would see a line in your ifcfg-eth0 that would have the IP address/subnetmask. It should be fine.) To setup dns edit the resolv.conf that is there.
As you can see mine is generated by dhcp, but you seem to get the format already.Code:[schotty@andrew default]$ cat resolv.conf ; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script search schotty.net nameserver 192.168.0.2 nameserver 22.214.171.124 nameserver 220.127.116.11 [schotty@andrew default]$
Now, use:
"/sbin/ifdown eth0 && /sbin/ifup eth0"
to bring the device up (note, this needs to be root).
For samba .. lets hit that next, when I dont need to goto work ;D
Connectivity first.
>Do you have samba installed on the Linux box? You'll need that to do networking with the Win box.>
Samba is welcome when i be able to PING the machines each other.
>Can you ping the Windows box from the Linux machine by it's IP adrress and vice-versa? >
That's the point: NO.
>How are these machines connected? (One to the other, through a hub/switch, etc.)>
A coaxial cable BNC with terminators.
>the command ifconfig eth0 will give you all the information regarding your network card, similar to the Windows ipconfig /all or winipcfg command.>
Yes. Its give me that.
>Can you post the results of the ifconfig eth0 command from the linux box and the winipcfg command on the second box?>
I will.

Do a 'dmseg | less'
I believe that should be "dmesg | less".
And yeah Linux will throw a lot of these massive annoyances at first. However, once you familiarize yourself with the environment it becomes second nature, just like Windows. I use Win32 for development at work, and I find it much more frustrating to troubleshoot than my linux box at home. Stick with it and hopefully you'll find out what I mean
PS: I've read that Kylix is dying fast. Borland apparently saw a market that just wasn't there. This is backed up by the fact that the only place I've ever heard of it is on /. and through my own readings...never encountered it in industry. If you're doing this for something specific, then that's fine...but if you're looking to expand your development skills, I'd say go with another language. Just my personal views.
I'm assuming your topology is Linux<------>Windows. If your both in the same subnet, the cable is a crossover (unless you are runnign through a switch) or in the case of true coax you have proper terminal ends, and the cable is not damaged, you shouldn't have a problem pinging the systems. If you do, then you might have a half-live NIC which is, unfortunatly, a common problem with both new and older NIC's. A half-live NIC will show up as working fine but not actually send or recieve packets. If you are SURE that both systems NIC's are working properly (by testing them both online or something alike) then the only other thing I can think of is a firewall on one or both of the systems. Red Hat comes with a firewall to help boost security and during the install it's possible to set the settings high enough to where pings comming in get dropped (and maybe out as well). It's a general security thing in Linux, Mac OS, BSD OS's that Microsoft might add to their OS in a few years due to their security initiutive.
Hopefully this will help. If not reply back and we'll keep on, but please be clear and well written, it's a bit hard to understand what your asking or saying in your posts.

it's a bit hard to understand what your asking or saying in your posts.
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I'm not sure which one was questions and which one was anger-related-complains.

Feel like shit from last night -.-
Havn't left the house today.
Today I volunteered at an AIDS bike marathon. I made sure people put things in the proper trash, recycling and compost receptacles. I even got a few people to root through the trash after I pointed out that they should have recycled it.
Also, a gay guy hit on me during this. But he wasn't creepy about it so it was all good.
what comes around is all around
hallo onrpg today im feeling great and sad at the same time. dont go enough money to go to this dubstep party near me next month >< so im kinda down about it. but its all good. ill get over it. much love
Well then... Today was a very strange day. I went to sleep yesterday about half an hour before midnight while my boss was working with a Russian band to shoot a music video and was woken probably around 4.30am by a bunch of wasted people walking up and down speaking loud Finnish (which I thought was Russian because of the Russians who were here). They also came into my dorm room to turn on the sauna heater. At which point they noticed me lying down on one of the bunk beds trying to sleep and started whispering. Which was also loud. Then they started trying to play Rock Band in the upstairs living room which made me give up trying to sleep. It was 4.53am. I then decided to just play games on my computer and while away the time hiding in my room until they crashed. And then they came in to use the sauna. It was then that I realised that they were Finns, not Russians. We had some smalltalk before I decided to play a game of L4D2 while behind me they (the guys) were all stripping naked and trying to fit into the sauna. They couldn't all fit. One of them had my towel around their waist. I continued by playing StarCraft 2 after having some coffee. After an indeterminate amount of time, a couple came into the room, laid down together on one of the bunk beds here (there are 3 in this room) and cuddled under the blanket. Before I knew it the guy had his pants off (but not his boxers) and the gal was only wearing her G-string. That's right, I had my breakfast and lunch in the same room as a half-naked half-sleeping cuddling couple. During lunchtime they (the drunk Finns who woke me up) were all wasted and sleeping. Then I went to observe my boss mixing a 56-year-old drummer's solo album. That was around 1.36pm. I crashed at around 3.50 because I hadn't had any sleep due to the unusual circumstances and woke up an hour later. Saw that 56-year-old drummer making dinner in the kitchen and set up the oven for preheating (i was gonna cook pizza) and went to look for the drummer and my boss. They were nowhere to be found. So here I am eating my pizza, typing this out and wondering what the **** was going on.
I just heard door sounds. I guess they're back in the studio.
smlst sig evr
Dammit i was looking for this thread then it appears right under a new thread i created that fits within the description put forth by shadowsworn.
smlst sig evr
it's cool. I'm going to move it for you.
Ugh I did some work this morning. Something real messy and heavy. Took a few hours out of my day for that. Tomorrow I've gotta wake up early and go drive to the other job site and spend a few hours there. Then back here for more work and construction, maybe a few more days this week too. Ah well, I'm making good money so I guess thats what counts.
Got DJ Hero 2 in the mail. Pretty fun. Home now trying to chillax. Just noticed I didn't eat anything today, so I guess I should go make a sammich or something. At least with all this stupid work I have to do I won't get any fatter
Just kinda sleepy, need to take the dog for a walk and get the garbage can from the end of my driveway.
A day in the life
Hey blog thread. I am going to read about programming and play guitar and listen to my entire musical library in alphabetical order.
You know, be all productive and shit... kinda
I like noise. I like big-ass vicious noise that makes my head spin. I wanna feel it whipping through me like a fucking jolt. We're so dilapidated and crushed by our pathetic existence we need it like a fix.

I received Knitting Around for Christmas, and today, yet another snow day, I've been reading through Elizabeth's Digressions. The funniest thing ever must be the story of when EZ's not-yet husband Arnold met her parents for the first time. They served roast mutton for dinner and Arnold was offered mustard. He took a large amount of Coleman's mustard and was left sputtering for air, "with tears streaming down his face." The mustard is very spicy.
The reason this little passage is funny to me is because THE SAME EXACT THING happened to me. I'm not sure if Coleman's is very well known here in the States, but I happen to have an Irish mother-in-law with a fondness for mustard and we usually have a little jar of it in the fridge. The mustard is very spicy, and for most folks must be consumed in moderation.
My parents were visiting one time, and we were having sandwiches. Naturally, Gerald got the mustard out and as my Dad put together his sandwich, he slathered a large amount of Coleman's on the bread. Gerald warned him, "That mustard is very spicy." My Dad may have mumbled acknowledgment, but sat down to eat his sandwich anyway. After his first bite, his face got red and his eyes were watering, and he finally acknowledged, "Boy, that's hot."
I didn't think it was possible, but today I have become even more fond of EZ.
An unrelated picture, just to prove that we have snow. Again. All the woollies are getting a big workout this year!

Reamdeby Neal Stephenson
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the extraordinary Neal Stephenson comes an epic adventure that spans entire worlds, both real and virtual.
The black sheep of an Iowa farming clan, former draft dodger and successful marijuana smuggler Richard Forthrast amassed a small fortune over the years — and then increased it a thousandfold when he created T'Rain. A massive, multibillion-dollar, multiplayer online role-playing game, T'Rain now has millions of obsessed fans from the U.S. to China. But a small group of ingenious Asian hackers has just unleashed Reamde — a virus that encrypts all of a player's electronic files and holds them for ransom — which has unwittingly triggered a war that's creating chaos not only in the virtual universe but in the real one as well. Its repercussions will be felt all around the globe — setting in motion a devastating series of events involving Russian mobsters, computer geeks, secret agents, and Islamic terrorists — with Forthrast standing at ground zero and his loved ones caught in the crossfire.
"Reamde is an entertainment, an enormous, giddily complex one. There's no telling what Stephenson might be planning for his next novel, but now's the time to dive into a first-rate intellectual thriller without fear of being overwhelmed by its virtuosity." San Francisco Chronicle
"Reamde is...one big, carefully choreographed, jet-set square-dance of mayhem." Bloomberg News
"It's hard to sum up a 1,000 page tome in a short review, so if you don't feel like reading this rather long one, I'll boil it down to three words: I loved it." Tor.com
"After a decade of novels set in 18th century Europe and in alternate universes, Neal Stephenson triumphantly returns as a bestselling author to contemporary America." fantasyliterature.com
"Expertly crafted and often gorgeously written." Boston Globe
"Sometimes when you're reading Neal Stephenson, he doesn't just seem like one of the best novelists writing in English right now; he seems like the only one." Lev Grossman, Time magazine
"Stephenson, best-known for his genre-hopping novels, tackles tech-terrorism in Reamde." OakPark.Patch.com
"Reamde combines meticulous observation of the stranger socioeconomic effects wrought by technology with rousing fusillades of adventure." The Guardian
"In less masterful hands, this pile-up of implausible coincidences, madcap romance, technological mayhem and nail-biting suspense might have been a train wreck, but Stephenson pulls it off. Reamde has one of the most satisfyingly over-the-top endings of anything I've read in years. " Washington Post Book World
"There's an intellectual pill buried deep in Mr. Stephenson's narrative candy, one powerful enough that he deserves to be classified as a major national and international resource." Wall Street Journal
"[Stephenson] makes reading so much fun it feels like a deadly sin." International Herald Tribune
"Stephenson...delivers a sprawling thriller that shows him in complete control of his story." Publishers Weekly
"A story that, despite its gargantuan heft, speeds along like a bullet train....The depth of the story, the attention to detail, the interlocking narratives and fine characterizations mark Reamde as an immersive literary experience." Pittsburgh Tribune
"Neal Stephenson has guts, a killer story, and — for the first time since Cryptonomicon — a thriller I can thoroughly recommend to any reader....With Reamde we have a very smart page-turner — a global chess game expertly played." Mental_Floss
"Nobody else writes like Stephenson" Press Association (England)
"Even at a thousand pages, Reamde is sprightly enough to jump between 9 or 10 plot threads without getting tangled up in itself, and, refreshingly, it does so without employing the annoying modern thriller trend of rat-a-tat sprays of two-page chapters." Stranger magazine
"[Reamde] is, without a doubt, one of the smartest, fastest-moving, and most consistently enjoyable novels of the year, a book with the rare distinction of being one this reviewer wishes he had written." Irish Examiner
"Stephenson somehow makes his crazy setup entirely plausible and tons of fun." Knoxville News-Sentinel
"[A] rip-roaring race through computer hacking and guns, China and North America, virtual reality and terrorism. " Sunday Times (London)
"Stephenson has a once-in-a-generation gift: he makes complex ideas clear, and he makes them funny, heartbreaking, and thrilling." Time
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Anathem, Neal Stephenson is continually rocking the literary world with his brazen and brilliant fictional creations — whether hes reimagining the past (The Baroque Cycle), inventing the future (Snow Crash), or both (Cryptonomicon). With Reamde, this visionary author whose mind-stretching fiction has been enthusiastically compared to the work of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, Kurt Vonnegut, and David Foster Wallace — not to mention William Gibson and Michael Crichton — once again blazes new ground with a high-stakes thriller that will enthrall his loyal audience, science and science fiction, and espionage fiction fans equally. The breathtaking tale of a wealthy tech entrepreneur caught in the very real crossfire of his own online fantasy war game, Reamde is a new high — and a new world — for the remarkable Neal Stephenson.
About the Author
Neal Stephenson is the author of Anathem; the three-volume historical epic the Baroque Cycle (Quicksilver, The Confusion, and The System of the World); Cryptonomicon; The Diamond Age; Snow Crash, which was named one of Time magazine's top one hundred all-time best English-language novels; and Zodiac. He lives in Seattle, Washington.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — New record? Yes. Dow 14,165, "almost there" says Barron's in its latest Big Money poll. Still, hedge your bets: "After three years of handsome returns for U.S. stocks," optimism about 2013 is "waning as the list of things to worry about grows longer."
The big worries: "Corporate earnings growth is slowing, there's the threat of war in the Middle East and defaults in Europe, and the fiscal cliff." USA Today adds "Big-Name Stocks Hit Bear Markets, Apple, Nike" and more.
And yet, Barron's "Big Money bulls expect the Dow Jones Industrial Average to rise to about 14,400 in the next year." New record? Good news? The guys over at Seeking Alpha are skeptical of Barron's October 15 cover flashing 14,165 in big numerals with the subtitle, "almost there ... stocks are healthier today based on profits and cash levels than in 2007 when this level was last seen."
So should we cheer when we actually get there? Or is it time to play defense?
Déjà vu: In this casino, the house always wins. How can you?
Back in early 2010 we also wrote with high hopes for a new record, the elusive Dow 14,165, but finally concluded all the hoopla was just more Wall Street propaganda. Why? Because "even a new record of 14,165 barely equals the CPI inflation the past 10 years" since the dot-com crash when the Dow fell off its then record peak of 11,722 in early 2000 into a 30-month recession dropping the Dow to under 7,500, costing Main Street's 95 million investors over $8 trillion in losses.
Get it? The numbers are deceiving. The truth is, measured on an inflation-adjusted basis, Wall Street lost over 20% of America's money in the 2000-2010 decade after the great technology crash of 2000.
And now, once again, if your measuring stick is the five-year period from the 2007 record to 2012, or whenever we actually do get back there again, it's just more propaganda, another five years of treading water. In short, you can brag about all you want, but the truth is, on an inflation-adjusted basis, even a new record of 14,165 means a huge inflation-adjusted loss for the past five years.
Hidden under all this number's game propaganda, Wall Street's blowing a new bubble that may be more toxic costly hot air than a new bull market in 2013.
80% of investors are irrational, can't admit it. Are you one of the 20%?
So, how should you play the highly unpredictable 2013 market? Can you win by running with the bulls to a new record of 14,165, or play defense till Washington walks back from the fiscal cliff? Here's a quick little easy test to help you decide, help you confirm your gut decision.
From our behavioral-economics perspective, the answer is quite simple: Most investors will tell you they're rational, convinced they make rational investment decisions. In fact only one in five are rational investors.
Yes, 80% of investors are irrational, but most don't even know it. Or more likely, know it but are in denial, unable to admit their irrational behavior (and losses). And as a result, are losing as much as one-third of their market returns. Which are you?
The rational investors category is actually split into two groups: A small segment, less than one million, mostly full-time pros, successful day traders or Wall Street traders spending all day with high-frequency algorithms? They love the adrenaline rush of playing the market full time.
For them the most important thing is beating the other guy; the second most important: bragging about it ... Worrying about risk is for sissies. Leverage is good, since it raises returns — while the market goes up. Some are real good at the game, but most of them can't beat their benchmark indexes.
But we know from studies that only about 20% of all investors are savers, putting money aside for retirement, acting rational about the future. That adds up to a total of maybe 20 million rational investors in America. The rest, the other 75 million, 80% of America's 95 million Main Street investors? According to various studies, they're in denial, clueless, irrational investors.
10 question quiz: How to prepare for both a bear and a bull in 2013
Take our little test to see if you're one of America's 20 million rational investors. Or if you're one of the 75 million irrational investors. Just 10 questions: And you're self-scoring so remember denial's one of the chief psychological blocks to self-analysis. Most investors say they're rational, but are not.

'Transfer' schools offer at-risk students a chance to graduate
For some Queens high school graduates this year, the commencement ceremony represents achieving the previously impossible.

Massive Cruise Ship Arrival Ushers in Busy Month
Nauticus is set to welcome a major cruise ship arrival tomorrow, May 7, as Royal Caribbean's Brilliance of the Seas makes its Norfolk debut. Passengers embarked the vessel in Tampa and will stop in Norfolk for the day. As guests enjoy regional attractions, restaurants and shopping, the ship will be loaded with provisions as it prepares for a trans-Atlantic crossing to Ireland. This marks the first time Norfolk has been utilized as a departure point for such an itinerary.
"We're thrilled to welcome Royal Caribbean back to Norfolk," said Nauticus executive director Stephen E. Kirkland. "No doubt, a ship with 2,000 passengers and 860 crew will have a major impact on our community."
Along with the benefits of passenger and crew spending, a local bus company and shore tour provider will be on hand to escort nearly 500 guests on excursions, including a Norfolk highlights tour, trips to Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestown/Yorktown, and a tall ship charter. In addition to local security personnel and other ship-related regional workers, a Hampton Roads-based stevedore team will unload 15 truckloads of food, beverage and hotel items onto the vessel. The Brilliance of the Seas is scheduled to dock at the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center at 11 a.m. on Thursday and depart at 6:30 p.m.
In total, Nauticus will welcome more than 20,000 passengers in May. Carnival Cruise Lines returns to Norfolk on Monday, May 11, with the arrival of the Carnival Splendor, one of the largest and most modern ships in Carnival's fleet.

Good question.
Symthic is the #1 place for you to find weapon and vehicle stats for the most popular games.
We're a community that love being gaming scientists and helping others by saying things like, "up to 11.525 meters that weapon will 1 hit kill with a headshot" as opposed to "yeah that gun feels good, nahh that one doesn't".
It is our community's goal to nitpick and examine every single statistic to see exactly how you can overcome it and what it will do to your performance.
Originally the site was founded by Sym in November 2011 and ever since it has been growing fast. Our forums have become a place where ideas and information flow freely and people's personalities shine.

I love the designs in this cartridge. Can be used a lot of places.
I love, love, love this cartridge. It's simply elegant! The cuts just add an extra something to your projects. I love making cards and this is the best cartridge for that.
I fell in love with the beautiful images on this cartridge. However, what sold me completely was the ease of layering. I have never had a cartridge layer so simply and so quickly with such fantastic results. The final images make such a statement and are the perfect finishing piece to a layout or as the showcase for a card. I love all the flowers, the birds, the butterflies, everything. It can be elegant and whimsical, depending on the paper choice. I also found it to be so easy to use with my Imagine. I flood-filled with the Hopscotch paper line and got gorgeous results. If you like flowers and elegance, this is the cartridge for you!
I love the matching cards and envelopes!
Everything on this cartridge is so beautiful, perfect for a card creator
I received this for a Mother's Day gift from my mother and I absolutely LOVE this cartridge. I have used it far more than any other one I own. I highly recommend it!!!
I am a web designer/graphic design artist and I love this series. I am planning a wedding and was looking into purchasing some other die cuts and envelopes. I am making my own wedding invitations. These designs are amazing. I will have many amazed family members when they see these invitations. I love this machine, and this cartridge along with the new "Art Nouveau" card is wonderful.
In my opinion, you gotta have both.
I absolutely love this cartridge - the intricut designs cut out beautifully

My youngest son, Nathaniel, just completed his first year of school today. He attended Head Start at the U of O. At first, he wasn't sure what to expect or even if he wanted to be there. However, by the end of the year he's grown and changed dramatically.
Nathaniel: We are so very proud of all that you've accomplished and look forward to seeing all of your new accomplishments. We love you so very much!
Love Always, Mom and Dad
To his Teachers and Everybody else at Head Start: Thank you so very much for all of the time and effort you put in. I entrusted you with my son, and have seen how much love and care were taken. He's grown amazingly under your guidance. I couldn't imagine anybody else doing a better job of it then you did. Thank you

|Celebrity Serve Results In
|Written by Christie James
|Friday, 30 March 2007 02:51
The results are still coming in, but early indicators show that this year's Celebrity Serve was a tremendous success. With a few participating restaurants still to report their totals, this year's event has raised over $43,000 dollars to benefit Watauga County Make A Wish Foundation.That's compared to the $18,000 that Celebrity Serve raised last year. Some of that increase may be due to the fact that last year was the event's first year. This year also brought the addition of several new restaurants to the event, which enabled it to run through breakfast, lunch and dinner. And, no doubt, the participation of ASU's Chi Omega Sorority and growth in student support also had an impact.

Kevin Sarver is in his 26th year in the Creighton University Athletics Department and his 22nd as an Athletics administrator.
Sarver, 47, oversees all external operations for the department including the Jaybacker booster club organization, sports information, ticketing, marketing, promotions, sales, special events, publications, licensing, radio, television and digital media. Sarver is also the sport administrator for the men's and women's soccer programs and he serves as the game administrator for men's basketball home games.
Sarver served as the tournament manager for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship Second-Third Rounds at CenturyLink Center Omaha and will also serve the department in that role for the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship Regionals to be held at CenturyLink Center Omaha.
Sarver, the tournament manager for the 2008 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship First/Second Rounds at Qwest Center Omaha and the 2012 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship Second/Third Rounds at CenturyLink Center Omaha, has also served as tournament manager for 16 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship Preliminary Round matches played at Morrison Stadium since 2003. Sarver also served as tournament director for nine Missouri Valley Conference Soccer Championships at Morrison Stadium from 2004-2012 (Men's Soccer in 2004, 2007 and 2011; Women's Soccer in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012). In November, 2015, Sarver will serve as tournament director for the BIG EAST Conference Women's Soccer Championship presented by New York Life to be played at Morrison Stadium.
Sarver's entry into collegiate athletics started in sports information when he worked in Creighton's SID office all four of his undergraduate years including serving as the department's interim sports information director the second semester of his junior year. Sarver graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor of arts degree in journalism from Creighton in May, 1989 and he started his professional career one month later when he was hired by his alma mater as the sports information director in June, 1989.
In July, 1993, Sarver continued his sports information duties but he was promoted to Assistant Director of Athletics for Media Relations & Promotions. In April, 1996, Sarver was promoted to Assistant Director of Athletics, relinquishing his day-to-day sports information responsibilities in favor of overseeing the Jaybacker booster club organization and ticketing as well as developing and implementing a men's basketball season ticket priority seating program.
Sarver is a native of Oglesby, Ill., and he and his wife Lisa, a 1990 Creighton graduate and a 1993 Creighton School of Law graduate, reside in Omaha and will celebrate their 23rd wedding anniversary in August. The couple are the parents of a son (Jacob, 18) and a daughter (Cassidy, 16).

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA)-- The body of 18-year old Siohban Nicole Lee, of Takoma Park was found early Friday morning on the corner of 5thand Nicholson Streets N.W. in D.C.'s Brightwood neighborhood. She had been shot in the head.
D.C. Police are announcing they've arrested 21-year old Alexander Buckley and charged him with her murder. Detectives say the two knew each other. However, the extent of their relationship is still a mystery to police, and the teen's father, who claims he doesn't know Buckley.
Sean Lee, thefather, told WUSA*9 he is still looking for answers.
He said, "hopefully with letting (D.C. Police) do their investigation I will find out more information and we'll have an understanding of why it happened."
Lee described his daughter as being "happy-go-lucky. She would do anything for anyone."
Lee worked at the Giant supermarket in the Blair Park Plaza in Silver Spring. Her loved ones say the last time they heard from her she was leaving work and headed home.
Buckley who has been in trouble with the law before is now facing a charge of First Degree Felony Murder.

PAWTUCKET — Summarizing the 2012 Pawtucket Red Sox, just one word springs to mind.
Yes, this season's club will be remembered for earning a second straight postseason berth, a first for this proud franchise since 1996-97. Yet the route that manager Arnie Beyeler along with his coaches and merry band of interchangeable parts followed in order to play baseball beyond Labor Day is, putting it mildly, unique.
The domain that is minor-league baseball lends itself to change. At its very core, the nature of the beast is to see players come and go, leaving teams in a state of metamorphosis from Opening Day until the final out is recorded. If anything, the turnover, whether grand or small, assures that one of the gateways to a pleasurable fan experience – the cost-effective game program – remains on the cutting edge.
Recently, those who have passed through the turnstiles at McCoy Stadium have probably given more than a passing thought to digging deep in their pockets for loose change. Can't tell who's on the team without a scorecard? Certainly that longstanding sales pitch holds plenty of merit as the PawSox head into the playoffs with a squad that bears little resemblance to the one that ended to the season's first half with the second-best record in franchise history.
In a nutshell, the 2012 PawSox hit all the high notes when it came to moving players to the parent club, such an exodus paving the way for reinforcements to join the ranks. Everything that happens at the top level tends to create reverberations throughout the farm chain, which was certainly the case here.
Thanks to Boston's never-ending injury binge, Mauro Gomez and Pedro Ciriaco went from depth pieces to 40-man roster contributors. Thanks to Kevin Youkilis landing on the disabled list, young Will Middlebrooks was able to take a blowtorch to the "third baseman of the future" label he was anointed with and emerge as Boston's present day solution at the hot corner.
"There's a lot of guys who weren't on the map when the year started and they've gone out there and produced and done a nice job," notes Beyeler.
Opportunity can take on many shapes. Daniel Nava received a second chance to prove that he was more than a one-swing wonder. Two promising players viewed as possible links to Boston's future – shortstop Jose Iglesias and catcher Ryan Lavarnway – received call-ups well ahead of the Sept. 1 date that allows MLB teams to expand their active rosters.
There's also opportunity that awaited Mark Melancon after the reliever got off to dreadful start in Boston. Knowing what he had to do in order to return to the majors, Melancon was lights out in Triple A on his way to racking up a PawSox-best 11 saves. That's called an example of someone understanding that getting sent to Pawtucket was an opportunity to iron out the rough edges.
One tale that definitely deserves revisiting is that of former World Series champion Scott Podsednik, who seemed stuck in quicksand before joining the PawSox in early May after the 36-year-old hit .197 in 23 games with Lehigh Valley. Coupled with strong play with the PawSox along with the prolonged absences of Jacoby Ellsbury and Carl Crawford in Boston, Podsednik returned to the big leagues for the first time in two seasons, performing at a clip that could make him an appealing free-agent target this offseason.
"At the end of the day we're trying to support the major-league team and we've had some guys go up there and hold their own," stated Red Sox farm director Ben Crockett.
Added Beyeler: "You never want to see guys in the big leagues get hurt, but it's nice when guys down here see those opportunities and are put in a situation where you find out whether they're good enough to play up there."
The PawSox featured plenty of players who graduated and have done their best not to look back. Yet what about the fates of the players already in Triple A? It goes without saying that if Pawtucket had a full compliment of players, chances are infielders Tony Thomas and Jon Hee would not have lasted as long at their present address as they did. Both were able to parlay patience into steady playing time, a turn of events made possible due to the winds of change that swept through the clubhouse.
Opportunity was also waiting to be seized upon when speaking about the pitching front. By late July, Brandon Duckworth and Doug Mathis, the remaining vestiges of the starting staff that opened the season, had relocated to Japan. A few weeks later, onetime phenom Mark Prior was informed that his services were no longer required.
Restocking the cabinet with dependable arms at such a late juncture didn't prove too worrisome for Pawtucket. Take away one bad outing and Nelson Figueroa has been a stabilizing force after coming over from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Fireballer Josh Fields has filled the void of late-game strikeout artist that was created by the departure of Junichi Tazawa.
Since August 1, the PawSox have received eight players from Portland, a hearty sum that has allowed Pawtucket to make a serious run at the franchise record for players used in a single season. The first pitch thrown by righty Mike MacDonald on Sunday night earned the latest call-up the distinction as the 69th different PawSox player to suit up for the ball club this season. The high-water mark is 70 and has been reached on two occasions (1995, 2006).
"You want to try to find the right balance of putting a player where he has a chance to compete and have success," said Crockett about the impetus behind promoting 20-something outfielders Bryce Brentz and Jeremy Hazelbaker from Portland with so little time left in the season. "There are always going to be moving parts within a farm system that you're going to be juggling, but at times guys deserve opportunities to be pushed.
"Sometimes everything works out well with an injury or vacancy that allows for a pretty good fit. Other times you're able to move a couple of guys at once, which we've done this year, or the player is able to dictate the move due to performance," Crockett continued. "We've had a lot of turnover at the Triple-A level and Arnie along with (pitching coach) Rich (Sauveur) and (hitting coach) Gerald (Perry) have done a real good job in getting the most out of the players while at times piecing things together and continuing to garner wins."
As Beyeler expressed, it truly does take a village to get through a minor-league season, meaning there are plenty opportunities just waiting to be seized.
"Everybody in the organization has always said that it's going to take 40-60 guys get through the season, win some games and get where you want to be," said the skipper. "It seems that way every year."

Postseason Memories
(Postseason Memories is a new feature that will appear here during the next few weeks. Phillies Alumni and broadcasters and perhaps others will offer personal insights into their postseason memories. Leading off is John Kruk, who will throw out the ceremonial first pitch on Thursday afternoon).
"Krukker" (1989-94) was a first baseman who played in the postseason with the Phillies in 1993. He hit .250 in the NLCS and .348 in the World Series that fall. His big league career also included the Padres (1986-89) and White Sox (1995). Kruk, now 48, is an analyst of ESPN Baseball Tonight Show.
What is your favorite memory of October baseball as a child?
"Watching in 1977 Yankees/Dodgers World Series and Reggie Jackson hitting three home runs off of three different pitchers in Game 6. Three guys who played in that World Series became teammates when I was in San Diego, Goose Gossage, Graig Nettles and Steve Garvey."
As a player, what was the biggest change between the regular season and postseason?
"The biggest change was the amount of media covering the game and realizing that we were the only two teams standing when we got to the World Series."
What is your fondest personal postseason memory?
"My fondest personal memory was without question Mitch striking out Bill Pecota at Veterans Stadium to put us in the World Series. I had a great view standing at first base."
Where were you when the Phillies won the World Series last October?
"I was on the set of Baseball Tonight getting ready to do a show at Citizen's Bank Park and thinking about how excited my 6-year-old son (Kyle) was that his Phillies were the best team in the world."
Busy Day
Both teams are working out this afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies are at 1, the Rockies at 2:30. Workouts are not open to the public. Interview room today will feature each manager and each Game 1 starting pitcher, four separate sessions for the media.
Ruben and his staff, plus Charlie and his staff will also meet to further discuss the NLDS roster. It must be filed with MLB by 10 Wednesday morning. Scouts Del Unser, Jim Fregosi Sr., Gordon Lakey and Craig Colbert, who have been scouting the Rockies, will be part of another meeting. This crew then heads for the Yankees series.
Two Phillies Alumni will throw out the first ball on Wednesday, Geoff Jenkins and Dick Allen . . . In answer to an inquiry, MLB has decided to cancel the Rally Monday events that have been held right after the season the last few years . . . Questions about game times have also arisen. Game times are decided by MLB and TBS. Having two teams on the west coast helped complicate the scheduling . . . Sad news. Barry Lersch, 65, who pitched for the Phillies from 1969-73, died of a massive heart attack in his Englewood, CO, home two days ago. He was looking forward to seeing a game in Denver this weekend, according to his wife, Linda.
Phillies Insider is on twitter as barons63.

I love how accessible the Phillies org seems to be. I wonder if this apparent open-ness has always been there or is it something pushed down from the top when MLB decided to invest heavily in developing the Internet presence of MLB? Whatever it is, I like it.

A circuit court judge in Virginia ordered the release August 23 of Brandon J. Raub, a Chesterfield man held involuntarily as a psychiatric patient at the Salem Veterans Affairs hospital in Virginia over anti-government postings on his Facebook page. Raub, a Marine combat veteran who served in both Iraq and Afghanistan, was visited by FBI and Secret Service agents at his North Chesterfield home on August 16, then taken by police under an emergency custody order to John Randolph Medical Center in Hopewell. He was transferred to the veterans hospital on August 20. A medical assessment of his condition at John Randolph described him as paranoid and delusional, the Richmond Times-Dispatch reported. But after an hour-long hearing in Hopewell Circuit Court August 23, Judge W. Allan Sharrett dismissed an involuntary commitment petition as invalid.
"The petition is so devoid of any factual allegations that it could not be reasonably expected to give rise to a case or controversy," said the release order signed by Sharrett, vacating the order of Special Justice Walter Douglas Stokes to detain Raub for 30 days. Stokes, who presides over commitment hearings, also ordered Raub's transfer to the VA hospital in Salem, about 180 miles from his home. Judge Sharrett said he was shocked to find the commitment order contained no grounds for holding Raub.
"This is phenomenal," Raub's mother, Cathleen Thomas said, hailing the news of the release. "This has never been about anything but freedom of speech," she said as she prepared to go to Salem to pick up her son. "We're going to continue to post on Facebook."
