Best. Walls. Ever. :)ReplyDelete
It's bad feng shui to have your back to the door Kalyn I hope your desk is facing toward door. If not you can hang a mirror on the wall. I think that conuter acts the bad feng shui. Now you think I'm a complete nutter I guess ;)ReplyDelete
Yahoo for Walls! It is really looking good!ReplyDelete
Sean, thanks! Hope so! I've certainly been waiting for them long enough.ReplyDelete
Barbara, of course I don't think you're nuts! There's actually two doors in the room. One is by the side of my desk, same direction I'll be facing, and other one is across the room. Does that help? I'm open to the idea of a mirror too, probably good for the light!
Maria, we were cross commenting! I promise I was not ignoring you. I admit, I'm getting pretty excited (although there is still a LOT more to go and messes everywhere. That part is getting old.)ReplyDelete
Walls ... fabulous . . . not boring here.ReplyDelete
Excitement builds more . ..
Tanna, thanks! So glad it's not boring.ReplyDelete
the plaster-like stuff is called "MUD" in the trades. My hubby got our bedroom suite remodel to this point today. yahoo, soon to be sleeping in the bedroom again!ReplyDelete
I love seeing the progress. It reminds me of the time we had our house built. So much fun to see the changes and imagine how nice it will be when it's done.ReplyDelete
boring? Never! It's so fun to see it all coming along. You'll be so excited to have it all completed. A floor-ceiling cookbook shelve area is a wonderful idea. I need to get more shelves myself. I love having a TV in my office. It's sort of mindless watching while on the computer... I often just have CNN on or put in a Netflix movie. Good luck with the remaining weeks!ReplyDelete
Brenda Lou, thanks for identifying the plaster! I think I have heard the term "mud" now that I think about it. Congratulations on the bedroom suite remodel too!ReplyDelete
Betsy, how fun building a whole house just the way you want it. So glad it's not boring!
RG, thanks for the encouragement. I think it might be months instead of weeks, but maybe the office will be usable in a few weeks. Still a lot to do for the whole project. And if you have a TV (and you seem to be *very* productive) I guess it's okay!
Walls are nice...Windows are nice....ReplyDelete
how exciiiiiiting!ReplyDelete
I love house reno's... when they're not mine! :) Can't wait to see the finished product, this was going to be a kitchen, right?ReplyDelete
Katie, I'm happy to see them. I know you can relate!ReplyDelete
Pearl, thanks. I'm excited, no doubt.
Noel, it's not a kitchen. It's a big project, but the main part of the new addition is an office/photo studio where I'll work on the blog.
Kalyn, we love to watch the progress! Keep posting.ReplyDelete
Great to see the new addition in person today..Nice space with lots of light......it's already a happy place! I agree with Barbara; good feng shui to place a mirror on the wall.ReplyDelete
So happy to see the progression. You are going to love it.
Lookin good!!!!ReplyDelete
Not boring at all - I love following along your remodeling project. I get all the positives (seeing the pictures) and none of the negatives (dealing with project details, dust, and paying for it). Best remodel ever! :-)ReplyDelete
Kalyn, I am loving watching the progress. It's coming along so nicely. I actually think the installation of the sheet rock and taping and all is REALLY exciting. Can't wait to see the finished product!ReplyDelete
You guys are the best! I have to admit I was having a bit of a meltdown today! I'm very tired of living in a mess, and I can't plant much in my garden because the sprinkling system is dug up and even the hose connection isn't functional. But I am very excited, and I know I'm going to love working in the new space.ReplyDelete
Hi Kalyn! Very cool blog! I am completely new to the world of food blogs - I didn't even know they existed until about 6 months ago- I know, have I been under a rock? But, just came across your blog and wanted to say hello. Good luck with the rest of your home renovations!ReplyDelete
Walls are only boring to those with no imagination...:) Haha... when we were building our house (years ago) my guy had trouble picturing the end result, but I never had, so I am sure this is going to be a splendid space! Can't wait to see the endresult!ReplyDelete
woah! how exciting! write super secret love notes on the wall before the paint goes on!ReplyDelete
Love these photos! I can see why you're so excited. Walls... GOOD! :)ReplyDelete
It's going to be SO great when this is all done - I bet you can't wait! Thanks for keeping us updated - not boring at all!ReplyDelete
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.

From time to time all of us get in a hurry and make a mistake or miss something when we post. It's human nature.
If you see someone's mistake you have the opportunity to point it out so that they can correct it. Of course, there are an assortment of ways that can be done.
You can ridicule them in a post. Probably not going to make many friends that way.
You can simply point out their mistake in a post, but that also will embarrass them and still probably cause hard feelings.
You could send them a Private Message* to explain what you saw and give them the chance to correct their mistake. This method will almost certainly be respected and appreciated by the member and add to your good reputation. If someone is nice enough to do this for you I would strongly recommend that you give them a Reputation Point**.
As careful as I am I still make mistakes in what I post. I'm human. Whenever someone is nice enough to do what I have suggested I thank them and give a Rep Point. We're all Orioles fans and should use this site to share our enthusiasm for our team. Let's try to remember to act as teammates.
*You can send any member a Private Message by clicking on the PM Icon just below the members' name on the left side of the screen. This type of communication is PRIVATE between you and the recipient.

Team MetsBlog predictions for NL East and Mets in 2012
MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone, Brian Erni, Michael Baron, Vinny Cartiglia, Mike Nichols, Jon Scippa, Ted Berg and Toby Hyde each submitted individual predictions for this year's NL East that when combined ended up looking like this:
In November, when writing this blog later this year, all I hope is that we – as fans – are excited and feeling good about the direction the franchise is headed. In a 1980′s or 1990′s context, I'd like to see this year as 1984 or 1997 – not in record, but in momentum, and the way fans of those previous teams were beginning to sense something better around the corner. If that can happen with 75 wins, that's fine. If it can happen with 85 wins and a pennant race, even better. The point is, given how things have gone the last five years, though I'd love a World Series victory, I'll gladly settle for progress and a better unity among fans.
The Phillies received four first place votes and three second place votes from the site's contributors. The Marlins got only first, second and third place votes. Two people picked the Braves to win the division, while everyone else had them in third or fourth place. No one picked the Nationals to win the division, though Washington did get one or two votes for each other slot.
Lastly, four members of Team MetsBlog picked the Mets to finish last, two picked them to finish fourth and one person had them as high as third.

We Test the Best No-Nonsense, Easy-Handling Chain Saws
Though not technically a wood-burning stove, campfires have been keeping us warm and cooking our food for thousands of years—perhaps even millions.
Archaeologists at South Africa's Wonderwerk Cave recently discovered what could be the earliest evidence of a controlled fire, dating back a million years. However, there are no signs that the cave's resident hominids built a fire pit or a hearth. For that, scientists point to the 750,000-year-old Gesher Benot Ya'aqov site in Israel, where clusters of burned grain, bones, seed, and wood suggest humans made fires in specific spots—perhaps using hearths.
Nowadays we mostly use campfires in extreme cases of survival or simply just for fun. Backyard chimineas and fire pits have enjoyed a recent surge in popularity, though they provide little usable heat, are smoky, and are rarely used for cooking.
Open fireplaces remain in vogue because they provide ambience and romance. However, they're difficult to start, expensive to clean, and unnecessarily smoky. Some smoggy regions, especially out West, restrict the use of open fireplaces in an attempt to curb soot pollution.
When it comes to heating a home, open fireplaces are hugely inefficient, too, because they suck warm air out of a room and send it outside via the chimney. They're also poor at collecting heat from burning firewood and transferring it to the house.
To improve the efficiency of their fireplaces, some homeowners install aftermarket heat exchangers. The most common versions consist of tubes set within the firebox that pull cool air from the room, heat it up, and then expel it back into the home. Other systems add catalytic converters or inserts that seal the opening of the firebox.

|BR Cares Partners With Second Harvest
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 11 October 2013 07:41
Blowing Rock, NC ― Blowing Rock CARES has become an official partner agency of the Second Harvest Food Bank of NW NC. The Second Harvest Food Bank of NW NC is a major nonprofit hunger-relief organization serving 18 counties across Northwest NC though a network of more than
400 partner food assistance programs. As an official Partner Agency, Blowing Rock C.A.R.E.S. will now be able to purchase and distribute food from Second Harvest Food Bank of NW NC. More information on Second Harvest Food Bank of NW NC can be found on their website at http://www.hungernwnc.org/. As data recently released on www.blowingrockcares.com shows, the client needs have grown from less than 100 clients served in May 2013 to 779 clients during the month of September 2013.
Originally a Blowing Rock School-based non-profit volunteer organization that provided food, clothing and other support for children and families in need in the Watauga County area, Blowing Rock C.A.R.E.S. is now primarily a food bank housed in Rumple Memorial Presbyterian Church and run completely by volunteers. In addition, members of Rumple Memorial Presbyterian Church assist in the running of the food pantry which is open on Mondays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Donations of non-perishable food items are always welcome and can be dropped off during the food pantry hours on Mondays. In addition, seasonal residents that are leaving the area are invited to clean out their pantries and drop off any non-perishable food items in grocery carts behind Rumple Memorial Presbyterian Church on Sunday mornings in October. Thanks to Casa Rustica's Seventh Annual Charity Golf Tournament held at Boone Golf Club on August 15th, Blowing Rock C.A.R.E.S. received $7,500 which provides for the purchase of food. For every dollar donated to C.A.R.E.S., approximately $7.00 worth of food items can be purchased through Second Harvest Food Bank of NC NW.
Blowing Rock C.A.R.E.S. is a 501(c)3 organization run completely by volunteers. For more information, please visit www.blowingrockcares.com.

Buzz: A Rick Nash Move Could Be Soon (Updates)
Update: 10:25PM: Bruce Garrioch tweets that with the deal for Carter, Columbus may drop their gigantic demands for Nash
Update: 9:47PM
Told the trade of #CBJ C Jeff Carter does not impact CBJ's willingness to trade captain Rick Nash. He's still available for right price.
— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) February 24, 2012
Update: 9:28PM: Craig Custance writes at ESPN Insider that with Columbus acquiring Jack Johnson, they may not demand Ryan McDonagh or Michael Del Zotto.
Custance says that one NHL executive said that he would include Chris Kreider, but he wouldn't feel good about it.
Update: 8:37PM:
The NYR and SJS have to decide if they're going to pay the price for Rick Nash. Like Carter, deal MUST include a No. 1 pick. #SNTrade #NHL
— Bruce Garrioch (@SunGarrioch) February 24, 2012
Original Post: Darren Dreger tweets that it will be interesting to see how fast Rick Nash is moved after Columbus likely trades Jeff Carter to Los Angeles.
Dreger says that the Rangers can't wait until Monday to make the trade and Columbus would need to make a decision on what they are willing to do.
On TSN's Insider Trading segment, Darren Dreger says that the Rangers are believed to be the front runners.
Dreger says that the Rangers have been patient in the process and want to know what is officially going to happen by Sunday.
He mentions that the Rangers are waiting on this deal to make other deals.

LINCOLN — With the first public unveiling of the edifice to be called only "The Center," Town Administrator T. Joseph Almond and State Rep. Mary Ann Shallcross Smith called Saturday morning a glorious moment for Lincoln.
It was easy to tell by the glow in the eyes of 89-year-old Gladys McKee that she heartily agreed.
McKee, a former Cumberland resident who now calls Lincoln home, relaxed in the main lobby of the state-of-the-art, 11,000 square-foot facility — following a ceremony attracting perhaps 200 – and reveled in its beauty.
"I think this is just fabulous," noted the mother of three, grandmother to another trio and great-grandma to two. "You can tell they put so much work and heart into it. I've been looking around, and I see old-fashioned things with traditional values. Naturally, I love that, but they also have placed in here new, up-to-date items as well. That's what impresses me most.
"I like the (two-sided) fireplace the best, because it's so big, and it brings a warm feeling to the whole building," she added. "The way I see it, this is going to make seniors very happy. I'm also impressed with Joe Almond's statement about the seniors in town deserving this. That makes us all feel great."
McKee's assessment was music to the ears of Almond, Town Council and School Committee members, architect John Robinson of Robinson Design Inc. of Smithfield and other key officials.
During the approximate 40-minute, outdoor ceremony, Almond maintained, "A lot of people spent a lot of time to do this right, and put a lot of work into this building. The Town Council approved this project for you, and they deserve your credit, as they certainly have mine.
"This was always No. 1 on the council's and Capital Improvement Committee's list, and (Saturday) that goal is not just a reality but proof of what consensus can achieve."
To the seniors, he explained, "We're here because of you. All of the moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers, aunts and uncles, you are a part of the fastest growing population in the nation … We are honored to give you this small token of our appreciation, for all you've done for us."
Shallcross Smith presented a House of Representatives citation to Almond, and stated, "This is absolutely amazing. I've traveled all over the world, and this looks like a five-star hotel. 'Congratulations!' to all."
On this rather cold morning, Council President Ronald McKenna, who was a key cog in the development of plans for "The Center," offered some details into how it came to be. They included how the notion sprung to life back in 2007; why officials chose not to "fix up" the old center located at 40 Chapel St.; how a sub-committee traveled to other senior centers statewide to pull solid ideas from them; and how Lincoln seniors themselves provided answers to what they wanted.
"The first thing they asked for was a bocce court, and we started one behind the building," McKenna said, drawing laughs from the crowd. "We hope to have that open by spring … You have no idea what was involved in this, but we couldn't have worked with a better construction company than Advanced Building Concepts (of Middletown).
"I'd like to thank John Robinson for his patience, and his (architectural designer/project manager) Deb D'Agostino for giving (the sub-committee) weekly reports so we knew what was going on," he added.
Members of that sub-committee included Almond, McKenna, Senior Center Director Lois Durkin, Lincoln Housing Authority Executive Director Claudette Kuligowski, Lincoln Facilities Coordinator Dave Sale and Town Planner Al Ranaldi.
It should be noted that seniors will have to pay a small fee for a card that provides entrance. Non-residents may also use the center, at a slightly higher cost.
If you were unable to attend the gala, here's a small list of what this "Palace for Seniors" is, and will offer seniors and others.
The building, which cost about $3.5 million to construct, sits on 22.5 acres in the woods next to the "new" middle school on Jenckes Hill Road. It has 73 parking spaces, and it's energy efficiency is astonishing. It maintains a LEED gold rating; an advanced building core performance certification (with National Grid energy credit); geothermal heating and cooling (from two 1,300-foot wells inside the earth); and energy star appliances.
That's not all, as it also features a rain garden (with rainwater reuse via a "Water HOG" storage system for landscaping); heat recovery units; natural daylighting (through light-sensitive switches); and a structurally insulated panel wall and roof design.
"The Center" also will provide an evening meeting space, or conference room (complete with restrooms and a small kitchen), for Lincoln organizations (such as the veterans); an on-site generator to deliver power to all building systems, including heat, to allow for an emergency shelter; and a back-up data system for critical Town Hall and police department information.
"The feeling of finally being in here is overwhelming," McKenna chuckled after the event. "I've been working on this since 2007. When we put together the Capital Development Committee, in my mind, I wanted us to consider a new senior center. The old one was inadequate, as it wasn't handicapped-accessible and the parking was problematic.
"This place is just gorgeous, and I think the seniors, as well as others, will find a lot to do here," he continued. "My favorite place in the whole building is the fireplace. When Dave Sale and I went to the other senior centers, we saw one a lot like this in South Kingstown. We looked at each other and said, almost simultaneously, 'We want that!' You know, we didn't know John (Robinson) was the architect.
"This won't be open officially until Monday, Nov. 29, because we couldn't get a permanent certificate of occupancy until then. The reason for that is the generator that would make it an emergency shelter hasn't been hooked up yet. When it is, I'll be one of the first ones here. This building fits just right into this setting we have. You come down the driveway and see this beautiful structure, and people ask, 'That's a senior center? Are you kidding?'"
Robinson actually began drawing as a child and began interning with the famed Carl Johnson (who was the architect of Tolman High School in Pawtucket) while a Cumberland High student. He admitted he would have liked to make it even better.
"Because the sub-committee has seen some of my other work, they understood a lot of my design principles," said Robinson, who was given a commemorative plaque by National Grid Energy Efficiency Consultant Bill Isaksen, also a Lincoln resident. "One of the most important things for us was to make the building user-friendly and 'non-institutional.'
"We did that by eliminating corridors and developing open spaces, making use of circulation space as gathering, socializing areas, and areas of display," he added. "You know, we really would have liked to have another 500 square feet in the building. I think some of the (14) rooms ended up being a little small, or tight, but we had a mandate of 11,000 square feet, and to maintain budget."
He also mentioned he wanted to use 10 foot, six-inch wall panels to give the rooms more height, such as in the dining room, but the standard wall panel height is 10 feet.
"We had to stick with the standard because 10-6 would have to be custom-made, and that's a lot more money."
Robinson also revealed he's a member of the Environmental Design Research Association, a worldwide organization of post-doctoral scholars and architects.
"I met a woman through EDRA whose specialty was orientation and way-finding for the elderly," he noted. "She hammered it home to me that I must design landmarks in buildings so people know where they are inside it. That way, it makes it more pleasing to the eye and safer for them. In here, the fireplace is the central landmark. From virtually every function room, people have a glimpse of it, and that's very comforting to them because they know where they are.
"Environmental psychologists study how people use buildings, how they see them, for programmed activities and spontaneous activities. This building is conducive to those spontaneous because it has vision panels. Folks can see into the rooms before they get there; that way, they have an opportunity to pick or choose before entering."
He admitted the building is a little behind schedule, by a few weeks. That was due to National Grid bringing in the power, and also gleaning the final resolution on the well pumps (for heating and cooling.
Still, when asked what he thinks of his own creation, Robinson said shyly, "It's very nice. I like it. It's great to have been selected the architect originally, as it's a very competitive process … I'll also say I'm glad it's over. It was a lot of work. I'd like to have made it better, but I'm happy with it."
During his speech, McKenna mentioned the edifice would be called "The Center," as "We felt that we seniors wouldn't want to be constantly reminded that we're getting older."
The comment drew roars from attendees of all ages. Moments later, they walked from the left parking lot to the front door for the ribbon-cutting, then inside Lincoln's newest creation for conversation and refreshments.

Video: FBI Raids Business In Connection With Bribery Probe
Buffalo, N.Y. - On Wednesday, the Buffalo FBI executed a search warrant at a Buffalo towing business, Jim Mazz Auto on Bailey Avenue.
In addition to the FBI, sources tell 2 On Your Side that the IRS, New York Departments of Taxation, Motor Vehicles and Finance and Buffalo Police were involved in the raid as well.
No arrests were made Wednesday, but agents did seize records and computers as part of a federal search warrant.
Over the summer, 2 On Your Side reported that Jim Mazz Auto was among the towing businesses being investigated by the FBI for allegedly bribing Buffalo police officers in order to get towing business at accident scenes. The drivers not only wanted the tow, but the chance to get the collision repair work which could be worth thousands of dollars per car.
Jim Mazzarello owns the repair shop where today's search took place. His attorney, Steve Cohen, claims Mazzarello has been trying to bring the issue of bribery in the tow truck industry to light for years and is now being retaliated against.
Steve Cohen: "My guy's been out of that, he's been out of the whole bribery business for years."
Scott Brown: "Are you saying your client bribed Buffalo police officers in the past but hasn't done it in a while?"
Steve Cohen: "I'm saying many years ago our tow truck drivers were put in the position by police offices that 'if you want to get this tow you better hand us a twenty dollar bill or a fifty dollar bill'. So we brought a list of officers to the Brown administration and said look, this is what's going on and instead Byron Brown wouldn't take a meeting with me."
But a source close to the investigation tells 2 On Your Side's Scott Brown that Police commissioner Dan Derenda did meet with Cohen over the summer and that Cohen was not willing to provide the city with any names of officers who had allegedly taken bribes.
Scott Brown: "Do you expect any Buffalo police officers to be indicted as a result of this?"
Mayor Byron Brown: "We are going to let the investigation go in any direction that it may lead and leave no stone unturned."

Comments about The Coffee Bean Stamp Logo Acrylic Cup:
I bought one of these and took it everywhere. I dropped it and it broke so I HAD to get another. I am more careful now. I am going to buy three more for my granddaughter and her two dorm mates at Vassar College so they do not get dehydrated this winter in New York. Do they even have The Coffee Beans in NY? Anyway, if they don't, they need to.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Gold's meteoric rise over $1,000 left even the most ardent gold bulls reeling from shock and awe. No matter what their bullish expectations may have been beforehand, few market watchers could honestly say they expected such a powerful run.
They weren't alone. Investors and analysts were similarly surprised by the power and persistence of the rally in the broad U.S. equity market, and were left grasping for excuses.
The common denominator behind both bull moves: a declining dollar.
Bucking the Trend
Gold and stocks aren't known as correlated asset classes, to be sure. So their almost perfectly choreographed moves in opposition to the dollar meant that analysts had to explain not only their individual moves, but why they were moving in unison.
Of course, it wasn't too difficult to connect the stock and gold moves to the weakening dollar. But from there, most supposed experts were left scrambling.
They mentioned a growing dollar carry trade, wherein extremely low interest rates in the U.S. prompt investors to borrow dollars to fund riskier and higher yielding investments elsewhere.
This trade has, indeed, grown. And it will continue to have an impact, as long as the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee's statements keep noting that "economic conditions are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels of the federal funds rate for an extended period."
If dollar interest rates are going to be low for the foreseeable future, why wouldn't you arbitrage those low rates against higher yields elsewhere?
Another excuse put forth for dollar weakness has been the comparatively stronger economic growth rates in China and the rest of Asia. It seems obvious that Asia is far ahead of the West in the economic recovery, and this relative strength has been attracting capital to the dollar's detriment.
But the columnists and talking heads on CNBC missed some of the most compelling reasons for the dollar's swoon:
- The surprisingly broad push for a new global reserve currency to replace the dollar. China, Russia, Brazil, France and other nations have joined an international chorus calling for a new global reserve currency regime, one most likely based on a revamped International Monetary Fund (IMF) special drawing right (SDR).
The calls for talks on this issue have come so frequently, and the silence from the Obama administration has been so obvious, that what once seemed little more than bluff and bluster now appears to be the advance signs of an inevitable abdication of the dollar's reign as the king of currencies.
I've covered this frightening development in recent columns so you know that if President Obama allows this to occur I'll view it as one of the greatest foreign policy failures in American history. And the fact that the current administration doesn't view it as such is what truly scares me.
- The socialization of the American economy. From bailouts to nationalized health care, from more steeply progressive tax rates to the assumption that government can dictate private sector compensation…and the myriad other assaults on capitalism and individual liberty now coming out of Washington, it's obvious that the America of tomorrow will no longer resemble the dream of our founding fathers.
This concerns not only freedom-loving Americans, but also anyone anywhere in the world with assets in the U.S. When foundational principles are ignored as a matter of political expediency, when the rule of law offers protection only to favored classes or industries, then capital will flee to regimes that offer greater safety and certainty.
This is, in fact, a big factor behind the diminishing role of the U.S economy, and the decreasing relative value of the American dollar.
- The massive issuance of U.S. dollar debt and currency. I don't want to belabor the point, but the world has been flooded with liquidity via the creation of unprecedented levels of new debt and currency.
The U.S. hasn't been the only violator in this regard—only the most egregious.
Some argue that the Federal Reserve, having created much of the new liquidity with the figurative stroke of a pen, can mop it all up just as easily. They ignore the fact that if the Fed was so prescient and powerful it would have never been faced with having to create all that liquidity in the first place.
The Fed is so fearful of deflation, and has become so politicized, that it will almost assuredly overshoot the mark and leave its foot on the monetary gas pedal too long.
The bottom line is that the supply of fiat currency in the world at large has risen precipitously, but to a significantly greater degree in the U.S. While this will translate to higher asset prices generally, it will also translate to a lower relative value of the U.S. dollar.
The writing is on the wall, and investors know it.
A Battle Royale
In the meantime, the bulls and the bears have drawn the battle lines over gold and amassed on both sides what may be the most powerful forces we've seen for years.
Consider that the Large Commercial Net Short position in gold has risen to record levels, but on an absolute basis and as a percentage of total open interest. On the other side of the bet the speculative long position has also soared.
As long-time readers know, the large commercials are most often correct in their bets on gold. The reasons for this are two-fold: 1) Because they are so intimately involved in the gold market they understand the underlying forces much better, and 2) because they are typically hedgers who reflexively short gold in a rising price environment, their increasingly larger selling tends to create a self-fulfilling prophecy in lower gold prices.
So, again, when they pile on historically large short positions, gold usually heads south. However—and this is an important distinction—when they are wrong, they are wrong in a very big way.
As I noted last month, a prime example of this came in late 2005, when the large commercials were forced to cover their bets against gold en masse…with the result being a leap in the gold price from $450 to $700 over the coming months.
So the current situation is crucial. If the large commercials are forced to cover, they could send the price skyrocketing.
If the speculative longs are forced to sell out, gold could crater.
Ironically, some of the pressure has been let off by gold's recent retreat below $1,000. The Commitment of Traders (COT) report for the week of gold's highs shows that the larger commercials had added even more to their short positions, establishing a new record of 287,610 contracts net short.
However, this huge cumulative short position also acts as a cushion on any price declines. Undoubtedly, as the gold price fell from the recent heights, commercials began covering some of those short positions, helping to prevent further declines.
The physical gold market has also entered into this battle. Here we see a number of new factors coming into play…
First off, we saw the announcement by Barrick Gold that it had—finally, after a $750/ounce rise in gold from 2001—decided to buy back all of its remaining gold hedges.
Whether you think this announcement is bullish or bearish depends on your position in the market…and whether you're a "glass-half-full" or "half-empty" sort of person.
In other words, once Barrick bought back all of its hedges (and it was rumored that they had already begun doing so in the preceding weeks), then that potential bullish factor would be removed. That's the glass-half-empty view.
The glass-half-full view holds that Barrick's upcoming buying will only add more pressure to an already drum-tight gold market.
Not long after Barrick's announcement, we heard from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that it was ready to begin the sale of 403 tonnes of gold. This didn't have the bearish effect that similar announcements have had in the past when this issue has been trotted out to dampen gold price rallies.
It didn't scare the market much this time because the sale would either come under the umbrella of the Central Bank Gold Agreement (where central bank sales had already slowed to a trickle), or the entire amount would be taken up by China or another central bank. The latter event would be net bullish for gold, by implication more than direct effect.
And finally, we've seen surprisingly strong physical demand from Asia, particularly India, despite the rising gold price. The reason? Festivals in India and government programs encouraging gold buying in China helped boost demand, and the weakening dollar meant that gold's price rise was mitigated in local currencies.
So we can expect that any significant decline in gold, especially if it's not accompanied by dollar strength of the same degree, will be met by increasingly large physical demand from Asia.
A Pressure Cooker About To Blow
So, the battle lines have been drawn, and it seems the gold price is destined to break strongly one way or the other.
Technically, the extensive consolidation pattern traced out by gold argues for a break to the upside. More fundamentally, the towering net short position of the large commercials seems to favor a correction, although the recent decline below $1,000 may have alleviated some of that pressure.
Regardless of the outcome, it seems safe to say that this rally has already demonstrated greater strength and resilience than anyone ever expected. Even if gold corrects, the price has spent enough time well above $1,000—setting new daily close price records in the process—to make this an important and confirming move.

Urgent vs. Early Endoscopy in High Risk Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding (UGIB)

- How to Read a Study Record
Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is one of the commonest medical emergencies. The condition accounts for 150 per 100,000 populations. A National United Kingdom reported a crude overall mortality rate of 10%. While bleeding stops spontaneously in majority of patients at their presentation, there remains a subgroup of patients who continue to bleed or develop recurrent bleeding. In these patients, the mortality increases manifolds. If these high-risk patients can be identified, early interventions may improve their outcomes.
Several prognostic indices are in use for the purpose of patient stratification. They include the Rockall, Glasgow-Blatchford (GBS) and the Baylor scores. The Rockall score is a composite score which incorporates clinical parameters as well as findings during endoscopy which was derived to predict mortality. The GBS is a pre-endoscopy or a clinical score for the prediction for the need of further intervention loosely defined as the need for transfusion, endoscopy or surgery. It has been shown to be accurate in identifying low risk patients for early discharge.

Detailed Description:
The GBS, being a pre-endoscopy score with clinical parameters, is more suitable for patient triage leading to urgent endoscopy and a higher level of care. A GBS of 0 has been shown to identify patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding who may be managed safely as outpatients. The proportion of patients requiring endoscopic therapy increases with a higher score. A cut-off score that identifies "high-risk" patients who may benefit from urgent intervention however has not been determined. Guidelines from Societies around the world recommend early endoscopy within 24 hours of presentation for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB). The guidelines also state that a proportion of patients need emergency "out-of-hours" endoscopy, without defining the "high-risk" group. A recent international consensus on the management of NVUGIB recommended early endoscopy within 24 hours for Non-Variceal Upper Gastro Intestinal Bleeding (NVUGIB), and noted no additional benefit associated with urgent endoscopy (<12 hours) vs. early endoscopy (>12 hours) in unselected patients with NVUGIB. However, there are only limited data on the role of urgent endoscopy in the "selected" subgroup of patients with high-risk NVUGIB.

Acoustic guitars are the heart and soul of so many Spanish and Latin genres, it comes as no surprise that they would be the exclusive specialty of a luthier that shares its name with provinces in Spain and Argentina. Committed to everything nylon-stringed, Cordoba makes an impressive lineup of classical, flamenco, orchestral and contemporary guitars. A great example of Cordoba's craftsmanship is the Loriente Clarita classical guitar. Topped by Canadian cedar with Indian rosewood taking up the rear, this guitar is handcrafted in Barcelona, Spain. The attention to detail is nothing short of incredible, making the Clarita a true masterpiece: an artisanal concert guitar that sounds as beautiful as it looks.
If you're a beginner or an adventurer, you might consider something like the La Playa Travel Half-size guitar. This model is a departure from most of Cordoba's guitars since it has steel strings, but it's a change that makes the guitar easier to keep in tune when you're taking it off the beaten path - which is exactly what it's made for. The reduced size makes it easy to bring anywhere as well as ideal for young players, and its cutaway body style gives you unhindered access to every last fret.
Two things that La Playa has in common with many of Cordoba's other guitars are a pickup and preamp. If you want the most versatile instrument you can get, acoustic-electric models like this are the way to go. Unplugged, they're normal acoustic guitars, but when you want to really be heard, you can hook up an amp and get as much volume as you need.
Flamenco, classical and other nylon-stringed guitars are as popular now as they've ever been. Whether you're a beginner, hobbyist, Latin or flamenco band member or even in an orchestra, there's a Cordoba guitar here that's right for you. Take a look - you'll be pleased with what you can find.

THE TOP 9 LISTThe most important goals in Islanders history
The Islanders are off today, so it's time for another Top 9. The key word here is important – not memorable, incredible, personally-witnessed, etc.
1. Nystrom at 7:11: As Mike Bossy has said, always seemed right that one of the Islanders' warriors should get the overtime goal in 1980 for the first Stanley Cup.
2. J.P. Parise at 0:11: In just their third season, Islanders win their first playoff series – on an overtime goal in 1975 against the Rangers in Madison Square Garden, to boot.
3. Tonelli Saves the Dynasty: JT's biggest – at 6:19 of OT in the fifth and deciding game against Pittsburgh in the first round of 1982 – makes two more Stanley Cups possible.
4. Ken Morrow, naturally: Continuing a tradition of big goals from every source, the defensive defenseman pots one at 8:56 of overtime in the deciding game 5 of the first round against the Rangers in 1984 to keep the Drive for Five alive.
5. Ferraro to Volek: On the franchise's last historic goal, a blazing Ray Ferraro slides a one-timer on David Volek's tee at an appropriate 5:16 of overtime to dethrone the two-time defending Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins at the Igloo in 1993.
6. Patty on Easter: In the Easter Epic, Pat LaFontaine scores at 8:47 of the fourth overtime in Game 7 of the opening round against the Capitals in Landover in 1987.
7. Bossy 50/50: The only singular achievement on the list, but a monumental one: on January 24, 1981 Mike Bossy joins Maurice Richard as just the second player in NHL history to score 50 goals in the first 50 goals of the season.
8. 18 Completes History: Islanders become second team in league history to come back from 3-0 series deficit when Ed Westfall scores five minutes into the third period of Game 7 at the Igloo for a 1-0 game win and landmark 4-3 series win in 1975.
9. JT Makes it 15 in a Row: On Feb. 20, 1982, John Tonelli scores with 47 seconds left against Chico Resch and the Rockies as the Islanders set a new league mark with 15 consecutive wins. This was way before you can win a game just by winning a shootout.
Shawn Bates' penalty shot goal in 2002 is the most memorable recent moment, but the Islanders lost the series. Your reactions to this story in Comments. For talk on the current Islanders, please use the Ottawa game thread below. Thanks.

|Woman pulls gun on Avery deputy
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Tuesday, 01 May 2007 09:03
A 911 call near Banner Elk resulted in a close call for Avery County sheriff's sergeant Mike Ellenburg last week.
When Ellenburg checked to make sure a woman at a residence on Mariposa Road was alright, the woman pulled out a .32 caliber revolver. The woman, 56-year-old Norma Sue Hallmark, attempted to fire the weapon, but Ellenburg was able to grab the revolver in time. Hallmark was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill.

The vehicles ranged from the new Mercedes-Benz Citan city van, new urban buses and travel coaches from Mercedes-Benz and Setra, new green leaders in form of the Mercedes-Benz Vito E-Cell crewbus and the Fuso Canter Eco Hybrid, to the heavy-duty Mercedes-Benz Antos, which was introduced to the public as a new truck for heavy-duty delivery applications for the first time.
Daimler Trucks stays in the fast lane
Daimler Trucks, with its Mercedes-Benz brand in Europe and Brazil, its Fuso brand in Japan, and its Freightliner, Western Star, and Thomas Built Buses brands in the U.S., can look back on a successful year in 2011 (sales and revenues: +20%, EbIT: +40%, return on sales: 6.5%). Andreas Renschler, the Daimler AG Board of Management member responsible for Daimler Trucks and Daimler Buses, says the positive trend is continuing in 2012: "In the first five months, we were able to increase our global sales by 23 percent when compared to the same period last year. Altogether, we expect our truck sales to be higher in 2012 than last year, and our earnings will at least match those of 2011. We reiterate our return on sales target of eight percent across all business cycles beginning in 2013 and adhere to our Daimler Trucks sales target of 500,000 units in 2013 and 700,000 units in 2020."
In order to confirm and expand its leading position in the global commercial vehicles industry, Daimler Trucks launched the initiative Daimler Trucks Number One (DT#1). Andreas Renschler explains, "DT#1 is the next stage in our Global Excellence program. DT#1 defines improvements of a magnitude of €1.6 billion until 2014, which will help to sustainably secure our profitability goals. The potential for improvement comes out of each business unit as well as out of the work packages spanning different business segments, which concentrate on initiatives for increases in sales and revenue and the utilization of synergies and economies of scale through platform and modular strategies."
State-of-the-art technology for customers: Commercial vehicles with the highest levels of efficiency and environmental friendliness
The common goal for all brands and model series in Daimler's commercial vehicles fleet is to ensure the highest levels of transport efficiency and environmental friendliness. Daimler offers the cleanest and most economical trucks and buses — all compliant with the Euro VI emissions standard – as well as extremely efficient and environmentally friendly vans. Despite the constraints presented by Euro VI, Daimler's new trucks and buses consume less fuel than their predecessors. Renschler says the broad range of new products to be presented at the IAA Commercial Vehicles is a testimony to the widespread technological leadership of Daimler's commercial vehicle brands: "Our trucks, buses, and vans are among the most attractive vehicles worldwide — not just because they offer the quality, reliability, and service our customers expect, but also because our products set the benchmarks in terms of economy, safety, and environmental compatibility."
World premiere: Mercedes-Benz Antos designed specifically for heavy-duty delivery applications
With the Antos, Mercedes-Benz is introducing a completely separate series of models specifically designed for delivery applications for the first time. Its two cabin lengths make it ideal for the requirements of heavy-duty delivery applications, and the vehicle itself sets new standards in terms of efficiency and handling. The Antos comes with new economical in-line six-cylinder engines that are available in three displacement classes: The OM 936 with 7.7 liters, the OM 470 with 10.7 liters, and the OM 471 with 12.8 liters displacement, which was first presented in 2011. These Euro VI engines combine powerful acceleration and quiet running with low fuel consumption and low exhaust gas emissions. They also exhibit long maintenance intervals of up to 150,000 kilometers.
New assistance systems: Greater safety, lower fuel consumption
The Actros long-distance haulage truck, which was successfully launched on the market last year, boasts with new assistance systems at the IAA. One example here is the new Active Brake Assist, which is now in its third generation. ABA 3, as the system is known, now also autonomously initiates a full braking maneuver to avoid a collision with stationary obstacles.
The Actros is equipped with another new system known as Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC), which links GPS information about the route ahead with the truck's gear-shifting system. Thus, the vehicle is always driven in the gear that results in the best possible fuel economy.
Renschler believes this is another important step toward improving the total cost of ownership: "Around 90 percent of a vehicle's total costs are generated after its purchase. Fuel costs play a major role here, and their impact is growing. In the triad, for example, they now account for nearly one third of the total costs. In other words: The end of gas guzzlers is near."
Fuso: New Canter Eco Hybrid also pays off economically
Daimler's Japanese subsidiary, Fuso, will present its own green highlight at the IAA in Hanover, as the brand's hybrid drive system has been significantly refined in a vehicle based on the new light-duty Canter truck. As the first hybrid truck in its class, the new Canter Eco Hybrid will also go into production for the European market at the Fuso plant in Tramagal, Portugal, this fall. Thanks to this alternative drive technology, the 7.5-ton model consumes 23 percent less fuel than the Canter model with a diesel drive. With the Canter Eco Hybird, Fuso has successfully ensured that the hybrid system will be economical for its customers. This is a big step forward in the development of alternative drive systems.
Even more power with the Mercedes-Benz Citan city van
This also applies to Mercedes-Benz Vans, which set a record for earnings and return on sales last year. EbIT rose to €835 million in 2011 (+85% compared to 2010), while return on sales increased to 9.1% (2010: 5.8%). Volker Mornhinweg, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans, plans to utilize all existing growth potential in the traditional markets in the coming years and to step up activities in markets with strong growth like China and Russia. He says that Vans will further expand its technology edge by offering attractive products as well. "2012 will also be a good year for Vans. In the second half of the year, we will generate even more momentum through the launch of our Citan city van," Mornhinweg explains. "Our plan is to break the 400,000 sales mark by 2015, which would correspond to growth of more than 50 percent compared to 2011."
Sprinter: Even more dynamic and economical
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter will come to the IAA with a seven-speed automatic transmission that is unique in the van segment: The 7G-Tronic transmission combines comfort with economy and driving dynamics. BlueEFFICIENCY technology in the Sprinter also sets a new milestone in terms of economy and clean driving. This — combined with a new long final drive ratio — results in outstandingly low fuel consumption, starting at seven liters per 100 km. The Sprinter also expands its lead in terms of safety with additional features for the ESP safety system.
Vito E-CELL crewbus: Electric drive for passenger transport
The Vito E-CELL crewbus emits no exhaust gases. It's the first seven-seater with a pure electric drive, and it marks the next stage in the evolution of the successful Vito E-CELL. This production model, which is offered in 16 European countries, has zero emissions and is ideal for transporting passengers in areas that place a high priority on reducing pollution.
2013: Six percent return on sales for the bus business
Daimler Buses, with its Mercedes-Benz and Setra brands, kept pace with the market in 2011. Global bus sales rose by two percent compared to 2010, to 311,000 units. Daimler Buses sold about 40,000 units. This increase was primarily the result of strong demand for chassis, as the more lucrative sales of complete buses declined significantly. Even as the business remains difficult, there are positive signs. Daimler Buses is delivering 200 city buses to Istanbul, and a major order for 90 buses has been received from Rio de Janeiro. Hartmut Schick, Head of Daimler Buses, says, "Our share of the global market is 12 percent, which makes us the world's number one manufacturer of buses over eight tons GVW. Despite the difficult market environment, we are determined to maintain our leading position. For this reason, we have launched our GLOBE 2013 growth and efficiency initiative. Our goal is to achieve a six percent return on sales across all business cycles beginning in 2013."
World premiere: New Setra ComfortClass 500 boasts record drag coefficient values
The clean OM 470 Euro VI engine with a sophisticated exhaust gas aftertreatment system is being used in the model for the first time, yet the ComfortClass 500 still consumes less fuel than its predecessor. This is mainly due to the optimized lightweight design and aerodynamic improvements on the completely new Setra luxury coach. Its drag coefficient value of 0.33 is in fact the best in the industry.
Citaro: First Euro VI-compliant regular service bus
Outstanding fuel economy and low emissions were also among the specifications for the development of the new Mercedes-Benz Citaro urban bus. The world's best-selling regular service bus boasts a new Euro VI engine (OM 936 or OM 470). Numerous improvements make up for the vehicle's increased weight and lower its fuel consumption to an unprecedented level. Practical tests revealed an average of five percent lower fuel consumption. A particularly interesting detail is a new fuel-saving recuperation system that stores electricity generated without fuel during the thrust phase and then uses it in the braking phase to supply energy to auxiliary systems such as fans and lights."

Top Ten Tips
Clothes Washer/Dryer
Water Heater
Central Air Conditioning Operations: If your central air won't work properly, do these things first: check thermostat settings to make sure they are set to the cool and automatic settings. Check fuses or circuit breakers in the panel box. In the case of a blown or tripped fuse, simply reset or replace the fuse. Check the switch on the side of the furnace; it should be in the on position. Some furnaces have a safety switch located in the blower or filter area. If you've recently changed the filter, make sure the outside cover panel is on correctly and making contact with this switch or the unit will not start.
Locate air conditioning units on the shady side of the house. Direct sunlight on a window unit or the compressor section of a central system adds to the workload of your equipment.
If it is not already shaded by the house or trees, provide shade for the outdoor unit of your central conditioner. However, be sure not to plant shrubs too close to the unit. For it to work best, there must be a free flow of air around the unit. Clean the unit prior to each cooling season and check it regularly during the summer to make sure it's not being blocked by leaves, lawn clippings and other debris.
Schedule any heat-generating activities like oven cleaning, baking, dishwashing, clothes drying and ironing for the early morning or late evening hours.
A recommended temperature setting for an air-conditioned room is 78 degrees. Raising the temperature one degree for each eight-hour period during the cooling season can save up to 2 percent on cooling costs.
Don't turn the thermostat lower than your desired comfort setting. The house will not cool any faster, and chances are you'll end up over-cooling your home and wasting energy.
Except when it is quite hot and humid, you'll save money by turning off your central or window air conditioner while you're gone during the day. Buy a clock thermostat which can be preset to turn on the air conditioner so it cools your home in time for your arrival.
Don't run the air conditioner during the night if it is cooler outside than inside. To set-up cooling currents of air, open windows top and bottom on different sides of your home and use a fan.
When using a room air conditioner, set the fan speed on high except in very humid weather. When it is humid, set the fan speed on low; you'll get less cooling, but more moisture will be removed from the air.
Keep the room air conditioner clean inside and out. Check and clean the filter regularly. The condenser (outside coil) should be cleaned at least every two or three years.
Consider using portable, ceiling or whole house fans as a supplement, or substitute, for air conditioning equipment. Fans cost much less to operate than air conditioners. By using a fan, you can run your air conditioner at a higher setting.
On hot, sunny days, close drapes, blinds or shades, particularly those for south and west windows.
Use bath and kitchen vents to exhaust heat and moisture, but run them just long enough to rid the house of unwanted water vapor and odors.
ENERGY STAR® Refrigerators and Freezers
ENERGY STAR refrigerators use at least 15 percent less energy than currently available standard models, and ENERGY STAR freezers use at least 10 percent less energy than currently available standard models.

PAWTUCKET — Saying there are too many unanswered questions, the City Council on Wednesday voted 6 to 2 to support a resolution calling for an inquiry into the proposal to privatize the city's trash pick-up services before any action is taken on the matter.
The efforts by the Grebien administration to apparently soon enter into a contract with a private waste hauler was the topic of lengthy discussion, with a majority of councilors calling for more information. Several councilors were also critical of the way the privatization is being handled by the administration, which is choosing to bypass the council's approval in favor of that of the Purchasing Board.
The council had granted a request from Local 1012, the union representing the city's sanitation workers, to make a presentation of its latest proposal in support of keeping the trash services in-house at an Oct. 24 pre-council meeting. Yet, Mayor Donald Grebien has indicated that the contract with MTG Disposal, a Seekonk, Mass.-based vendor, is scheduled to be considered by the Purchasing Board one day earlier, on Oct. 23. Citing a legal opinion from the City Solicitor, Grebien maintains that the contract does not need to be approved by the City Council, just the Purchasing Board.
Councilor Thomas Hodge, who proposed the resolution, said he was "disappointed and a bit dismayed that the administration is moving as quickly as they are." He said he recalled receiving just one e-mail containing the results of the RFP and doesn't think the council is as informed as it should be.
Hodge further noted that the council had been given a presentation by the vendor that eventually took over operations of the city's waste transfer station, and questioned why MTG Disposal had not done a similar presentation for the council. He said he has many questions about the privatization including the effect it will have on the city's "tipping fees" at the state landfill, what "escalators" are involved if fuel and other costs rise, how the vendor contract will affect the union contract, and what happens if the vendor ever goes on strike.
"This council is not against privatization, but we want more information and for our questions to be answered," said Hodge. He maintained that the City Charter allows the City Council to have an inquiry into operations such as trash pick-up that are funded through the city budget, and said he drafted the resolution with this in mind.
