As a potentially profitable opportunity presents itself, John will send you an alert with specific trade information as to what should be bought, when to buy it, and at what price.
Trade Alert – (TLT)
Buy the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (TLT) February, 2013 $123-$126 put spread at $2.60 or best
Opening Trade
expiration date: February 15, 2013
Portfolio weighting: 10% = 40 contracts
The best execution can be had by placing your bid for the entire spread in the middle market and waiting for the market to come to you. This alert is for the monthly options. Don't buy the weeklies by accident. The difference between the bid and the offer on these spread trades can be enormous. Don't buy the legs individually or you will end up losing much of your profit up front. If you don't get filled, then just wait for the next Trade Alert. There will be many fish in the sea.
The same applies if you don't understand this trade. Better to watch this strategy unfold on paper in the model portfolio before you try it with real money.
Keep in mind that these are ballpark prices only. Spread pricing can be very volatile on expiration months farther out. These are the trades you should execute:
Buy 40 February, 2013 (TLT) $126 puts at…………$7.10
Sell short 40 February, 2013 (TLT) $123 puts at…..$4.50
Net Cost:………………………………..…….……….$2.60
Maximum potential profit at expiration:
$3.00 – $2.60 = $0.40
(40 X 100 X $0.40) = $1,600, or 1.60% profit for the notional $100,000 portfolio for a three month position.

Independence Day is just a week away, and political language, especially that of the election year back and forth, is awash with patriotic memes.
At a campaign event on Monday, President Barack Obama provided a familiar narrative about why people are willing to pay more taxes: because they love their country.
Obama said, "[T]here are plenty of patriotic, successful Americans all across the country — I meet them every day — who'd be willing to make this contribution again because they understand there is such a thing as the common good. They understand that we're in this thing together."
Many conservatives are appalled by the President's understanding of patriotism and how it relates to "the common good." But he isn't the only one throwing the word around. In a recent article, Robert Reich, Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, skewered Republicans who use the word in a different sense.
Recently I publicly debated a regressive Republican who said Arizona and every other state should use whatever means necessary to keep out illegal immigrants. He also wants English to be spoken in every classroom in the nation, and the pledge of allegiance recited every morning. "We have to preserve and protect America," he said. "That's the meaning of patriotism."
He goes on to assail members of the GOP for substituting "partisanship for patriotism" and for believing that unless it fits into their agenda, no motive can be patriotic.
He concludes:
Their patriotism is not about coming together for the common good. It is about excluding outsiders who they see as our common adversaries.
Former Speaker of the House and failed GOP Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich quipped earlier this month about his view of American's patriotic duty.
"We want to make it clear in a calm, pleasant but direct way: Barack Obama and the values he represents and the amateurish incompetence he has proven are a direct threat to the survival of America as we know it — and defeating him is a national, patriotic duty," Gingrich said.
As Americans make plans for fireworks and barbeques next week with all of this talk from the political sphere about what is or isn't patriotic buzzing in the background, a columnist for Michigan's The Muskegon Chronicle, Steve Gunn, offers a little perspective in arguing for the Pledge of Allegiance in American schools:
Back in far better days, some things, like patriotism, remained above politics.
Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, union members and management all shared a love and appreciation of the United States of America and the fundamental freedom it stands for.
If patriotism is not what America's politicians have co-opted the term to mean, and if the citizenry is unable to turn to its leaders for a clear idea of the best ways to express love for one's country without adhering to political paradigms, perhaps history is a good place to turn for a patriotic self-revival.
Here are some ways you might learn to be more patriotic in the week preceding the celebration of our Nation's independence.
- Read a copy of the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of the United States. Hillsdale College, a longtime advocate of the American Founders' vision, offers free printable versions here. Hillsdale has even mounted a "Read the Declaration" campaign to encourage millions of Americans to read and discuss the founding document with friends and family this Fourth of July.
- Take some time to better understand the story behind our Nation's founding. Why did the men who created our Nation fight so passionately? What would have happened had they failed? Are there similarities between what our country has become and the tyranny they fought against? At the website Revolutionary War and Beyond, you can access thousands of historical documents related to our Nation's founding and learn why revolution was vital, in the words of our Founders.
- The United States is currently not in the best shape in history. Modern problems ranging from a poor economy to serious political disagreements on social issues keep many Americans in a state of perpetual political polarization. This benefits no one but the political establishment of both the left and the right. With the help of the Internet, you can find that many of these problems are not new. America has seen crises, social tension and poverty before. Take off your political blinders and do some research about how some of our Nation's problems were solved in the past.
Whether you call yourself Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or independent or you are defined by other political beliefs, your patriotism likely transcends your political ideology and represents more a feeling of gratitude to reside in a Nation whose citizens have the freedom to agree to disagree. Learning about the blood and sweat that begot that freedom and how that freedom has been used throughout the years to better the Nation is certainly more productive than allowing the President, Gingrich and political commentators to soil the true meaning of patriotism. After all, in a free country what it means to be a patriot is up to you to decide; and George Washington, our Nation's first President, warned Americans about those who would seek to do it for you in his farewell address:
In offering to you, my countrymen, these counsels of an old and affectionate friend, I dare not hope they will make the strong and lasting impression I could wish; that they will control the usual current of the passions, or prevent our nation from running the course which has hitherto marked the destiny of nations. But, if I may even flatter myself that they may be productive of some partial benefit, some occasional good; that they may now and then recur to moderate the fury of party spirit, to warn against the mischiefs of foreign intrigue, to guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism; this hope will be a full recompense for the solicitude for your welfare, by which they have been dictated.

"What interests me is the opportunity for all of us to become something different from what we are, by constructing spaces that contribute something to the experience of who we are." —Richard Serra
Concerns quintessentially sculptural have engaged Richard Serra for more than thirty years, although as a young artist in New York in the late 1960s he was strongly affected by the work of a number of contemporary dancers, above all Yvonne Rainer. Such work prompted him to consider "ways of relating movement to material and space," he has explained, in that it allowed him "to think about sculpture in an open and extended field in a way that is precluded when dealing with sculpture as an autonomous object. . . . I found very important the idea of the body passing through space, and the body's movement not being predicated totally on image or sight or optical awareness, but on physical awareness in relation to space, place, time, movement."1 A visit to a number of Zen gardens in Kyoto while on a trip to Japan in 1970 reinforced Serra's growing preoccupation with work that was defined through the processes of its reception. There he discovered that "your vision is peripatetic and not reduced to framing an image. It includes and is dependent upon memory and anticipation. . . . The relationship of time, space, walking, and looking—particularly in arcs and circles—constitutes the only way you can see certain Japanese gardens."2
Redefining this requirement of extended temporality and nomadic vision, Serra's recent series of Torqued Ellipses elaborates concerns with orientation and movement into tightly contained sculptures that radically challenge modernist notions of sculptural space. For in these works space shifts and moves in wholly unpredictable and unprecedented ways: so destabilizing yet so beguiling is this sensation of movement that the spectator quickly gets caught up in an exploration of extended duration.
Rolled-steel plates, each two inches thick and weighing twenty tons, stand abutted. This forthright, direct presentation, characteristic of Serra's aesthetic, gives little hint of the fundamental newness and potency of the experience offered in these monumental works—and also fails to betray the prolonged and difficult process of their realization. By Serra's account, the initial idea for this body of work was breathtakingly simple: take an elliptical volume of space and torque it. After an inspirational visit to Francesco Borromini's San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane church in Rome in the early 1990s, he began to try to devise such a space. Experimenting with two small wood ellipses held parallel but angled to each other by a dowel, he created a "wheel" from which he cut and rolled a template in lead. By varying the angles at which the ellipses were set to each other, or by modifying the overall proportions, or by introducing a second component within the first, he gradually assembled some thirty models for large-scale sculptures. With the aid of a computer program, he then calculated the positions and angles at which sheets of steel would need to be bent in order to realize such works at full scale.
The problem next confronting Serra was to find a steel mill capable of this exacting task, a difficulty compounded by the fact that the job required a special type of roller and by his need to work with the maximum-size plate available, that is, with sixteen-foot sheets. After considerable research, it became apparent that there were perhaps only two rollers in existence that could carry out the project. Beth Ship, a shipyard and rolling mill outside Baltimore, agreed to undertake the work without fully comprehending the complexities entailed. Several trials were required before the first sculpture was completed, in late 1996.
The results are informed by his signature clarity, stringency, and rigor. In tracking the exteriors of the sculptures (in the particular configuration installed in the former train depot at Beacon), one is always in close proximity to the steel skins, and this sets up a dramatic tension between one's bodily awareness and one's vision. Inside, the converse of what is occurring at one's feet seems to be happening over one's head; the works consequently generate bodily based movements and responses that are neither necessarily nor exclusively initiated by looking or seeing. Though it is arguably even more difficult to follow visually the motion of the curving walls leading to the interior of these works than to track the exterior modulations, only there do the footprint of the sculpture and the shape of its upper profile become evident. Each is a perfect ellipse, and each has the same radius; these ellipses never align, however, instead angling one to the other. Therein lie both the structural and the compositional sources of such unprecedented spatial experiences.
Union of the Torus and the Sphere (2001), one of the latest works to extend this vocabulary, presents a closed form, an exception in Serra's oeuvre: extravagantly tilting, obviously hollow, it encourages a kind of vertigo as the viewer edges around the deliberately constricted space, a site selected by the artist for its snug fit and for the dramatic immediacy of the encounter. In contrast, Elevational Wedge (2001) evolves directly from earlier bodies of work, as it subtly alters the proportions of the room in which it is located, testing perceptual and conceptual apprehension of the relation between the assumed horizontal plane and the ground, and tempering routine assumptions regarding the built environment and the spectator's relationship to it.

6.0 Starting Problem!
My girlfriend has a 2005 6.0, has never had any problems with the heads or anything! Around 60,000 miles I put an 03 turbo, 4'' exhaust, AFE Stage 2 and an SCT Livewire on it... It now has 72,000 miles on it and it has a problem starting. The check engine light never comes on, so i can never check for EGR codes or anything. I took the tune off hoping that it was the SCT itself... I got nowhere! When ever it sits over night, it never wants to start on the first turn, sometimes it takes two - four times and other times it starts right away. It has plenty of fuel pressure so I dont think it the lift pump... On the first of October im putting it in the shop to do the EGR delete,ARP head studs and oil cooler/pump upgrade. Do anyone have a clue why it takes so long to start or do you guys think it has to do with the typical 6.0 EGR, oil pump problem? Please help...
I wouldn't be in such a huge rush to put head studs in an engine that doesn't need them yet. Save that cash (and it will be substantial).
Does the truck become difficult to start when the oil gets hot?
Or is this problem only the first start of the day?
The 05 doesn't have a "bad" High pressure oil pump. It does have a bad fitting on that pump, but you would experience other symptoms beyond what you wrote above if that fitting was the issue.
You say it has plenty of fuel pressure. What is the fuel pressure?
It usually happens the first start of the day, but lately its been happening once you let it sit for an hour or two. I can't remember the fuel pressure off the top of my head but I wanna say it was 14-15 pounds. I checked it about two weeks ago. We took it camping about two weeks ago and it sat all weekend, it ran like a charm there but it was funny starting. When it start it had a weird idle, it was rough but the injectors had a harder knock then normal. It drove fine for the first hour or so, then it wouldnt build boost and started clouding out real bad. Note: the SCT was disconnected before we left for the trip. When we got home the check engine light had already shut off and its ran fine ever since, except for the starting issue still. And I'm still going with the studs, I got a really good for them, plus I plan on putting a 2.6 charger on it in the near future...
Ps. I meant to say that the idle was not rough, but the injectors had a harder knock then normal...
The absolute minimum is 45psi under any condition or your injectors will need to be replaced since anything lower will harm them.
How exactly did you check that?
What REAL gauges do you have on the truck?
Next, you are starting to describe more accurately what the issue is. Somewhere in your high pressure oil system, you have a leak. It could be the dummy plugs/standpipes (replace all as a set). Those are replaced by removing the valve covers. There is also the STC fitting (snap to connect) that is well known for failure. It is much the same style fitting as you see on air lines. The internals wear out and eventually the fitting gives out and you lose all pressure from the HPOP. It can fail at a slow rate, resulting in some weird issues with restarting and starting. All three of those pieces can be replaced for under $200 in parts, if you are going to do the repair yourself. If you are going to pay someone to do these, it will run right around the 12 to 14 hour range (I am guessing).
The reason why the injectors were louder is that the oil is cold and could also be under a lower than desired pressure on the oil side.
Try this little experiment. Park the truck on a steep hill, nose up after reaching normal operating temps. Let it sit for about 1/2 to a full hour. See if it will restart.
Then, try parking on the same hill, nose down and re-doing the test.
Post back the results.
Once you have those heads off, have a qualified machine shop check them for flat/straight and magnaflux them for cracking. They can mill off up to 0.008 to achieve flat. If they must remove more, you will need to buy a new head.
DO NOT use the "black onyx" head gaskets. Cool name but their repeat failure rate is through the roof as compared to stock gaskets. The gaskets were NEVER the issue on the engine. The reason the gaskets blow is due to the style of head bolts used. High cylinder pressures can stretch the TTY style head bolts, resulting in the head gaskets failing. You are getting rid of the weakness by replacing the head bolts with ARP's, don't introduce a new weakness by using the wrong gasket set.
Honestly I checked it with a buddy of mines scanner while the truck was running. It could have read inaccurate or I may have read it wrong. All gauges are stock except for the egt and tranny temp...
What would you say is the best way to check the fuel pressure on these fords? I am not super educated on the Powerstrokes, I had a OBS 7.3 back in the day, but it was mostly stock and i never had an issue. I have a 5.9 Common Rail now that I've been building for the last year... So I'm just learning the 6.0s as I go. I will try the "parking on the hill" trick when I get a chance and I will repost on what it does. In the mean time, thank you!
There is no stock sensor to read fuel pressure anywhere on the truck. You will need to purchase a separate fuel pressure gauge and the proper sensor for it.
You will need THIS ADAPTER to be able to gain access to the test port on the fuel filter housing on top of the engine. Personally, I do not recommend that particular gauge manufacturer that sells that adapter. I linked to the cheapest part that I found. Isspro is about the best gauge for your ride out there.
Similar problem
Could this problem also cause some sort of leak? (oil or coolant )

Unusual happenings this 2014, are you aware?
Strange events are occurring world wide this year, is something coming? So what we have now,2014 year of the horse. I really dont believed whats with the horse, it is really connected to what people might noticed about the those unusual things that are happening in our world today? its been 2 weeks since 2013 and there are few thing that we considered as unusual event happening in the world.
What we have right now is the weather conditions that everyone in the world can feel how how temperature decreased. It is known to be the coldest temperature of the century that even Niagara falls frozen for the first time. Scientist conclude that it could be possible that the polar vortex is caused of deep freeze. This is just one of the thing that we noticed for this 2014.
And we have this abnormal climate conditions caused by low pressure yet there are part in Philippines encountered heavy floods and there are part of sulu that has been destroyed by massive waves.
Another thing, like what happend yesterday...moon shown the best performance by having a moon halo. It is very unusual to have this kind of Phenomena. What we can conclude now?

Me In My Place with Supergirl Laura Vandervoort
Esquire recently put out a great, and intimate, interview with Laura Vandervoort as part of their Me In My Place series. Seeing how Laura is so connected to Supergirl (she played the Maiden of Might in TV's Smallville), I wanted to share the interview with all the Supergirl fans out there, as well as a pretty funny video she did for the spot, and some very beautiful pictures.
Laura has always been one of my favorite actresses to watch. Her performance in Smallville is one of the main reasons I started this Supergirl site, and why I have such a passion for Kara Zor-El as a character. But even before Smallville, living here in Ottawa, Canada, I've had the pleasure of watching Laura as Sadie Harrison on CTV's Instant Star back in 2004. I have also seen her in countless movies she's done, such as Desperately Seeking Santa, This Means War , Into the Blue 2: The Reef, and Damage. Of course, who can forget her as Lisa, the lizard princess from V.
Laura was a regular during season 7 of TV's Smallville, and played the role of Kara Zor-El/Supergirl. She also reprised her role of Supergirl during the 8th episode in season 8 entitled Bloodline, as well as episodes 3 and 20 of season 10 entitled Supergirl and Prophecy.
Here's the interview with Laura from Me In My Place by Esquire:
I was born in Toronto, North York. And my family still lives there. Actually, at a couple of weeks old, I contracted meningitis — I was very sick for a few months of my life. They didn't think I was going to make it, and it was a whole — it was tough for my parents. But I did make it.
Before I started acting,I had been doing martial arts most of my life. Martial arts and school was all I really knew; by the time I was 18, I had my second-degree black belt. So I was very, very serious and strict. And I was the same way in school. I didn't party. You know, straight A's.
At some point I realized I wanted to try acting, try something that was a little more freeing than what I'd been doing. And my parents let me when I was younger, and so I did martial arts and acting at the same time, and I started working a lot in Canada, doing kids series, like Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark?
In school, they called me "Goosebumps." But that's girls being, you know, whatever. So I was okay. I'd go to the dojo and kick the shit out of the pads with my anger and move on.
I ended up sticking around Smallville for a few years, and then right into V. My family's, you know — we moved out to L.A. when Vended, and I've been working on a few features since. It's a progressive thing.
My mom, it brings tears to her eyes. She's so funny. She's like, "You went from almost not being with us to being Supergirl. I'm so proud of you." I'm just like, oh my God.
I obviously don't remember those days in the hospital — but, I mean, I was paralyzed, and they thought I'd be deaf and blind. They were supposed to give me a medication that might make me blind, but my parents said, "Could you wait till tomorrow? We just want to see if her temperature goes down." And then apparently my temperature went down, they didn't give me the medication. And now I can see.
Growing up, I was such a tomboy. I hated that I was going to be a girl and, you know, grow into myself. So I didn't personally like being girly. Now I appreciate it, but I didn't want to do gymnastics, which is why I went right into the martial arts. A big part of that came from watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the movie. I loved Kristy Swanson. I was obsessed with her. Actually, recently, I went to the roast of Charlie Sheen and sat beside her, and I couldn't say a word to her. I just stared.
I actually wrote a letter to Joss Whedon, too, when the Buffy television show came out, about how I wanted to be her sister. He never got back to me, but I auditioned for him yeas later, and I told him. I'm like, "I wrote you a letter." He's like, "I think I remember that."
I've lived in Canada throughout all of my shows. And literally just under a year ago, when V ended and I finished Ted and This Means War, I moved out here, to L.A. I'm committing to L.A. right now. And I think I'm slowly adjusting; it's getting easier.
I recently discovered Thai last night. I'm not that interesting. The longer this interview goes on, the more I realize that I'm not that interesting.

In 1927, three concerned citizens formed the Berkeley-East Bay Humane Society, originally named "Animal Rescue Haven," at the corner of Ninth and Carleton Streets to rescue homeless animals in Alameda County. As the needs of the community's animals shifted throughout subsequent decades, education programs, community pet support programs and a veterinary hospital were added. Berkeley Humane closed the veterinary practice to the public in early 2009 to focus on providing medical care exclusively for shelter dogs and cats, making it the first veterinary hospital in the East Bay to serve only homeless animals.
In the 1970s, the Board of Directors committed to a revolutionary adoption guarantee model: that no healthy or treatable shelter animals in the Society's care would be euthanized. This commitment set the stage for Berkeley Humane placing 100% of healthy and treatable animals into loving homes for nearly forty years, a commitment that awarded Berkeley Humane and partner organizations the prestigious Maddie's Fund Lifesaving Award in 2009.
From our humble beginnings in a renovated former pool hall in West Berkeley, Berkeley Humane continues to expand and adapt the services of the organization to meet the ongoing needs of the community's animals and their human guardians. Berkeley Humane's work would not be possible without its strong partnerships with local animal welfare groups and the support from animal-loving friends who share the Society's vision. Today, Berkeley Humane has thousands of supporters and volunteers, and remains steadfast in its practices to curb pet overpopulation in the East Bay and give pet guardians the tools they need to ensure that their pets remain happy and healthy in their homes for the rest of their lives.
Despite a major fire that destroyed the Adoption Center on May 20, 2010, Berkeley Humane remains fully committed to its mission and vision. Our programs are in full operation and we continue to provide critical services to our community every day. We are fortunate to be working with a talented team of professionals, including Noll & Tam Architects and the UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program, to design the most efficient new building possible on the site of our current hospital and fire-damaged shelter. The process from start to finish will take a few years, and we will have to be patient. But we know that when it's done, we will have a beautiful, state-of-the-art shelter where animals will receive the best care and highest standards of welfare possible, and where community members will find the love and companionship of a new pet. In the meantime we continue doing what we've always done--serve the animals and people of Berkeley and the East Bay with vital services that last year alone matched over 930 animals with loving families and individuals.

What makes our dental practice different?
What makes our Durham NC Dental Practice unique is we start by listening. Many of us have had the frustrating experience of having to first tell our problem to the secretary, then the assistant, the nurse and finally having a minute or two to re-tell it to the doctor. We begin with the doctor listening to you.
Dr. Ramos begins by listening to your concerns, reviewing your individual history and explaining the examination process and diseases that may be affecting you. Only when your past experiences and dental and medical history is thoroughly discussed is the examination started. Your examination involves you and is not merely the collection of data for the doctor to ponder over. We explain what we see and what is healthy and unhealthy. We call this unique way of examination a "guided tour" of your mouth. Typically on the first visit you have the doctor's undivided attention prior to any treatment being initiated.
We are pleased to offer the following dental services and
dentistry technologies to our patients:
- Dental Cleanings!
- Crown & Bridges
- Non-Surgical Gum Treatments
- Digital (Low Dose) X-Rays
- Intraoral Imaging
- Dental Implants
- Electronic Claims Filing

Grits deputy leader optimistic about party's future
Politics: Ralph Goodale makes stop in Okotoks
Wednesday, Mar 19, 2014 06:00 am
Visits from the two top federal Liberals in Okotoks in the past two months is a clear indication the party isn�t about to concede the Macleod seat in the upcoming byelection.
Federal Liberal party deputy leader Ralph Goodale spoke at Crystal Ridge Golf Course March 12 less than two months after party leader Justin Trudeau visited Okotoks.
�Justin has said very clearly that wherever there is a byelection in the country, we are going to be there, we are going to work hard and we are going to campaign hard,� said Goodale. �We are not writing anyone, any place off. We have every determination of being a national party and that has to include places like Macleod.�
Goodale said the Liberals have already put dents in Conservative strangleholds with strong showings in the November byelections in Calgary Centre, Brandon and Provencher. He has seen the ups-and-downs of the Grits in his 40 years in federal politics.
Goodale�s federal political career spanned from Trudeau to Trudeau. He was first elected in his Saskatchewan riding under a Pierre Trudeau Liberal government in 1974. He now serves as deputy leader for the Justin Trudeau led Liberal Party.
Goodale is impressed with the son of Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
�Justin�s first campaign stop was in Calgary, his second one in Vancouver � he has demonstrated that he wants to be a leader for all of the country and not just part of the country,� he told the approximately 35 people in attendance, including Macleod Liberal candidate nominee Dustin Fuller from Okotoks.
Goodale said Trudeau is striving for a government the works from the ground up.
�We have had far too long a government a political process that has been dictated from the top down,� Goodale said. �You expect them (MPs) to be your voice in Ottawa and far too often it turns out to be the other around. They end up being Ottawa�s voice here.�
He said Trudeau would support more free votes in Parliament to allow MPs to represent the voice of their constituents, admitting issues like the budget, the throne speech have to be votes of confidence.
�That means people in cabinet will have to work harder,� Goodale said. �Right now, the 20 or 30 of them get together in a certain policy and it may or may not be what their caucus wants. They say to the whip: �now you go out and make sure everybody votes along the party line.� Cabinet members don�t have to go out and persuade their support, they just take it for granted.�
The Wascana MP who lives near Wilcox, SK., is a former federal agriculture minister. He has been inundated with phone calls from across western Canada about the logjam of grain waiting to be sent by rail to ports in Vancouver. He estimates the logjam and other factors has cost the grain industry as much as $5 billion.
�I have heard from every part of western Canada, that his has been an unmitigated disaster,� Goodale said. �Farmers did their job, they produced probably the best crop on record in Canadian history.�
He admitted railways were affected by the bitterly cold weather in getting grain to the ports, but said they must be held accountable.
�It is fair to say the railways let the farmers down this year,� Goodale said.
He said an order brought down by the Conservative government forcing the railway to get more grain to port on March 7, is too little too late. He said the emergency order should have been done five months ago.
Goodale added another of his concerns with the Harper government is its alienation of Canada�s veterans.
He firmly believes the Liberal Party, which sits behind the Conservatives and NDP, can form the next government in the 2015 election.The Macleod byelection, to replace the retired Conservative MP Ted Menzies, will be held later this spring. The Conservative candidate is former Western Wheel editor John Barlow.

Does Having Children Improve Health?
Procreate For Better Health?
Like us on Facebook
A second study, conducted by Australia's Deakin School of Health and Social Development found that childless women appear to be in poorer general health, and rank lower on measures of vitality, social functioning, and mental health. Researchers asked themselves what came first — were the women in poor health because they didn't have children, or were they childless because they were in poor health to begin with?
Does the possibility of improved health make the idea of procreation more appealing?

Neapolitan: Season Preview - Southwest Florida's visual arts scene is rife with color, variety and smart ideas
Tear off a calendar page and the pace quickens. Even though the cool nights and crisp days that herald fall in most parts of the country are slow in coming to Southwest Florida, more than a hint of change is in the air now. Museums and galleries are rolling out their season openers, and there's plenty to catch our eyes, from explorations of outer space to meditations on inner landscapes.
What follows are some of the highpoints of a very busy season.
"It's All about the Media"
Through Nov. 15
Art League
Marco Island's Center for the Arts
1010 Winterberry Drive, Marco Island
394-4221, www.marcoislandart.com
Admission: Free
Gallery hours: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday; 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday
For some artists, it's all about the ideas. Think of the dematerialized artworks of conceptual artist Lawrence Weiner, who created verbal statements about art in lieu of tangible objects. But, as the title of this exhibit makes plain, many artists still revel in making stuff. Moreover, the techniques and special qualities of their mediums are crucial to the things they make. Featured artists include colored pencil aficionado Jeffrey Smart Baisden of Live Oak, Fla., whose photorealistic still-lifes are amazingly detailed. Linda Chambers of Marco Island prefers the soft smudginess and brilliant, saturated colors of pastel. Glass sculptor Rollin Karg hails from Kansas: He and his studio assistants create asymmetrical sculptures from blobs of molten glass. Daniel Ambrose of Ormond Beach, Fla., paints atmospheric landscapes in egg tempera, an exacting medium in which egg yolk and water serve as the binder for paint pigments rather than oil, which is more commonly used today.
"NASA/ART: 50 Years of Exploration"
Through Jan. 17
Art League of Bonita Springs
Center for the Arts
26100 Old 41 Road, Bonita Springs
495-8989, www.artcenterbonita.org
Admission: Free
Gallery hours: 10 a.m.to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday; 1-5 p.m. Saturday
Organized by the Smithsonian Institution, "NASA/ART" promises to be a fascinating blend of art and science. Unknown to most of us, the national space agency has had an art program in place since 1958. This exhibit includes both documentary-style images of astronauts and astral phenomena and more imaginative renderings. William Wegman's three-part photograph, "Chip and Batty Explore Space," casts his doggy companions as a space walker and mission specialist. What's not to like in a show that includes everything from a painting by Norman Rockwell (of Gemini astronauts suiting up) to a sculpture by contemporary artist Chakaia Booker commemorating the lost space shuttle Columbia? To capitalize on the educational possibilities, the Art League has organized a slate of six free family afternoons in October, November and January, when parents and children can explore the underpinnings of flight and propulsion together.
"Mamie Holst: From the Series 'Landscape Before Dying'"
Through Dec. 6
Bob Rauschenberg Gallery
Edison College
8099 College Parkway, Fort Myers
(239) 489-9313, www.bobrauschenberggallery.com
Admission: Free
Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, closed Sunday and holidays
Mamie Holst is one of those rare Florida artists who's better known in New York than in Fort Myers, where she lives. Born in Gainesville in 1961, Holst attended Edison College and the School of Visual Arts in New York City, graduating from the latter with an M.F.A. in 1987. In 2005, she received the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship award for her work. Her small-scale paintings in black, white and gray are abstractions that have multiple resonances. They are spacey, psychological and vaguely biological or cellular in nature. According to her, they are explorations of inner space rather than the outer world. Holst relates the work to her experience of living with chronic fatigue syndrome. "I feel like I don't really think anymore," she says. "Of course, I still think or else I wouldn't function, obviously, but it's a much more basic type of thinking. It's like if you try to think big thoughts, your brain hits a blank wall."
Lola Alvarez Bravo
Nov. 1 through Jan. 4
Naples Museum of Art
5833 Pelican Bay Blvd., Naples
597-1111, www.thephil.org
Admission: $8 adult, $4 student
Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; noon to 4 p.m. Sunday
"There are those who focus on the landscape; I feel attracted to human beings," said Lola Alvarez Bravo (1907-1993). Known as Mexico's first major woman photographer, she took up the camera in partnership with her then-husband, Manuel Alvarez Bravo, in the 1920s. (For a time, the couple shared the same cameras and even the same rolls of film.) They were part of the great upwelling of modernist art and aesthetics in Mexico during the '20s. The pair rubbed elbows with fellow camera artists such as Paul Strand, Tina Modotti and Edward Weston, who were attracted to Mexico at the time. Lola Bravo is noted for her photographs of Frida Kahlo, a friend and frequent subject, as well as her earthy portraiture and street photography. This exhibit, organized by Aperture Foundation, features a number of vintage images.
"47th Founders Juried Awards Exhibition"
Nov. 22 through Jan. 4
Naples Art Association
Von Liebig Art Center
585 Park St., Naples
262-6517, www.naplesart.org
Admission: Free, but suggested donation of $5 adult, $2 children ages 10 and over
Gallery hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday; 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday
Work in all media by Naples Art Association members selected by Ned Rifkin, and installed throughout the von Liebig facility. If past "Founders" exhibits are any guide — the 46th Founders contained 179 works by 149 artists — this latest installment should be a capacious and broad-minded look at contemporary art in the region. Rifkin is a nationally recognized figure, having served as chief curator at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Gardens in Washington, D.C., from 1986-1991. Since that time, he has been director of the de Menil Collection and Foundation in Houston, director of the Hirshhorn, and under secretary for art at the Smithsonian Institution. All things being equal, that's a pretty impressive resume.

Naples council to get update on U.S. 41 rerouting, memo suggests DOT wary
NAPLES - Naples City Council meets at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday at City Hall, Eighth Street South. The CRA meets after the council meeting concludes.
To read records about the proposed rerouting of U.S. 41, click on documents below.
They still want control.
But nearly a year after first addressing the idea of redesignating a portion of U.S. 41, Naples City Council may have to get that control through different means.
The council, sitting as the city's Community Redevelopment Agency, is scheduled Wednesday to get an update on redesignating a portion of U.S. 41 as a local road.
The discussion comes after council members in May asked staff to begin talks with the Florida Department of Transportation to reroute a 2.3-mile segment of U.S. 41. The highway would turn east at Golden Gate Parkway by the Coastland Center mall and then south at Goodlette-Frank Road until it connects with present-day U.S. 41 East.
The plan creates a different road designation for what now is U.S. 41 between Coastland Center and Fifth Avenue South, with a goal of removing congestion in the area of Four Corners, where U.S. 41 makes a sharp turn in downtown Naples.
The council in May also directed staff to work with DOT to establish a "concurrency policy that provides for more city involvement with design decisions, no redesignation and continued FDOT ownership," Assistant City Manager Roger Reinke said in an Oct. 25 memo to council members.
Reinke told council members in his memo that redesignating U.S. 41 may not be in the cards.
"Initial discussions indicate that FDOT staff may not endorse options involving redesignation of the state or federal highways, however they may endorse a course of action to determine and implement appropriate design modifications ..." Reinke wrote.
Wednesday's update comes at the request of council, but Reinke said "technically we don't have anything official to report."
Reinke said the city has had informal discussions with DOT officials about the city's proposal, but a formal meeting is scheduled for Nov. 28.
DOT spokeswoman Debbie Tower said the agency is finishing its internal review of the city's request.
"There's not much of an update," she said. "We're very willing to consider a conversation with the city regarding its ideas ... for livable communities."
Councilwoman Dee Sulick said working with DOT may prove to be easier than a total redesignation.
"We figured that the most beneficial way would be to pursue what we can at this point," she said. "It's just the beginning of the dialogue."
Beginning a dialogue is important, but it's even more important to make sure everyone has the same understanding.
Mayor Bill Barnett said part of the reason he wants to have a discussion about U.S. 41 now is to set the record straight about what the city wants. Barnett said there's "been so much confusion on the whole thing," it's important to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Councilman Sam Saad agreed and said he thinks there's a need to "clarify our intention with regard to our position within the community."
Saad said he never wanted to redesignate U.S. 41, and instead was looking to take over control of the state road, which is referred to by the state as State Road 45 north of Naples.
"I don't want U.S. 41 to move," Saad said. "I want the state to cede control of State Road 45 or work out some deal where State Road 45 is more compatible to the land use in downtown Naples."
U.S. 41 is a six-lane road with a speed limit of 45 mph, and Saad said that isn't compatible with downtown Naples land-use any longer.
"What I would like to see come out of this meeting is coherent, simple policy of what we want to have happen on U.S. 41 so that staff, DOT and the county all know what we want to have done," he said.
The chance that DOT may shoot down the city's request to redesignate U.S. 41 could please some wary downtown Naples business owners.
Lou Vlasho, president of the Fifth Avenue South Business Improvement District, sent a letter to Tower on Sept. 26 expressing concern over the city's proposal. Vlasho in his letter said he felt "there was insufficient information to reach meaningful conclusions regarding the city's proposals."
Business improvement district executive director Lise Sundrla said the board hasn't taken a position, but believes a comprehensive study is needed to look at Four Corners and additional changes.
Michael Wynn, a downtown Naples businessman and founder of the Downtown Naples Coalition, said his organization also wants further study of the request before moving forward.
"Right now we're trying to make sure that no major change is done until all the voices of the stakeholders can be heard," Wynn said. "(We want them) to take a step back and do the necessary planning."
Wynn said his group sees these discussions as an "opportunity to look at what we want to be done in the next 20 to 30 years."
City Council will get an update on the discussions during the city's CRA meeting immediately following Wednesday's City Council meeting. At its meeting, the council is scheduled to discuss:
A request by Sundrla to place additional seasonal decorations and holiday lighting on Fifth Avenue South from Nov. 15 through Jan. 15. Sundrla is requesting that additional decorations — including miniature white lights, green garland and red bows — be allowed on the second and third floor of participating Fifth Avenue South properties.
A request to amend the fiscal 2011-12 budget to accept $157,357 in state and federal confiscation funds. The city's police department receives money from federal asset forfeitures and the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act; the money isn't budgeted. The city will use the money this year for expenses such as legal counsel, law enforcement specialty equipment and grants.

Yes.. I spelled Disgusting wrong. I also despise people like you who just love and live to correct other peoples spelling. I will misspell as many words as I want. Another thing. WTF! You think its a "good idea"? What is wrong with your head? Everything would taste... different. By different I mean disgusting. You talk about how these women would get paid. Guess what! I DONT CARE! I really could care less if these women would be getting millions. It doesnt change the fact that its coming from a womans tits. Also YOU think about where these women have been before. Think about all of the men/women that have had dirty things done to them. Just think... got it? Yet.... Its OKAY! =D. No thanks. I'm not about to let this happen. I love my cow milk. I have had my time where I would defend animals and say.. "Its wrong. Very wrong. Eating something with a face, heart, brain, feelings" then I would start to cry. THEN I would start to remember a
Regardless, it's an insane idea that will never happen.
And thus PeTA proves yet again that it is merely an organization that gets away with being overtly sexist and pigheaded.
Don't tell me to grow up. I can write unwitty and childish comments if i want to.
Go defenestrate yourself!
No. Your milk doesn't start to be produced until about two days AFTER you have the baby. Up until then, the baby is feeding on a super-concentrated version of what they get through the umbilical cord. Once your milk comes in, you KNOW. Your breasts are suddenly feeling very tight and very... big. And heavy. And painful. And the only relief is to let your baby feed. Which is thankfully at that point about every two hours.
However: Like I said, it's an internal supply-and-demand cycle. The mother will only produce about six to eight ounces every four to five hours. Not viable for harvesting in order to market it to the public in this volume.
Not that i agree with what PETA are asking of them at all here, but that comment is stupid..cows dont "use their milk everyday" the only reason cows produce milk for us all year round is because we keep milking them.. cows are only supposed to produce milk through pregnancy and a couple of weeks/to a month or so afterwards. but when we milk them they produce it for up to 17 weeks, or more...depending on the farm.
so, my point being, milking cows is actually quite cruel when done in certain ways, not that anyone really cares about the cows or anything, after all this is the internet.
ps, when cows are milking for no calf, they get extremly broody...and they sorta, pine for young/ but they cant have any, cos its up to the farmers when they breed. ill stop guilt tripping now, milk tastes good.
ew... as if you'd willing drink human breast milk when you're old enough to know what it is... and where it comes from... ect.

Well, we had an alternator bracket crack earlier in the restoration process, and I blogged about that under the title "Bracket Attack." So now, the latest unanticipated surprise–yes, another "attack"–is the right flap.
Folks, sometimes, I think that we're conducting an aging-aircraft study.
As I mentioned in the previous post, Roy Williams of Airframe Components by Williams Inc. reported that the right flap had issues. As in, the Debonair's right flap's being cracked, and failing at the actuator attach point. Beechcraft Service Communique SC 313 addresses the problem, which affects the right flap more than the left for the simple reason that people step on that flap's wingwalk. After 50 years' worth of entering and exiting the airplane. cracks happen. Moreover, this sort of crack can't be observed during a preflight; you have to remove the flap to see the extent of the damage.
Same thing with cracks and wear on the flap nose ribs. Here, have a look at the damage:
Bottom line, Williams came through with the fix, repaired the cracks, and re-skinned both flaps for good measure. Bravo!
Now for the "after" photos:
As for the rudder, some of you out there have taken us to task for its so-called non-compliance with an Airworthiness Directive (AD). Well, Roy checked the rudder, too. It's had AD 93-2403 complied with, all right, and Aircraft Components even issued a yellow tag to the rudder, stating that compliance has been previously accomplished.
Again, thanks to Roy Williams and Aircraft Components. Their repair work is immaculate.

Totals In Project List Show Group Titles As Well As Tasks
Many of my projects have group titles (tasks with * at the start to remove the tick box). These never used to contribute towards the total of tasks listed in the list of projects, but this has recently changed and now the totals count everything. How can I stop this please?

Hi Damo,
This feature is still available, and I am unable to reproduce your results. Please log out and back in again to see if it's not a visual glitch.
If that does not work you can try clearing the cache for your browser. For reference, which browser are you accessing Todoist with? Or are you using our Windows App?
I am using Google Chrome on a PC. Since posting, I have tried clearing the cache and logging out but the issue still persists. I have found that creating a task and then dragging it into an effected Task Set makes the values correct, but I must do this everytime I log in.
If you create a new task right now, with * at the start of it, does this still happen? If you edit the affected tasks, remove the *, save, and then re-add it does this still happen?
I have just tried both of the following:
Adding a task called "*!!TEST!!" to an existing project, logging out and logging back in. This should not have altered the number of tasks in the project - three.
Creating a new project, adding a task called "*!!TEST!!" and a second one called "Test", then logging out and logging back in. This should have resulted in a new project with one task.
Upon logging in, the existing project counted "*!!TEST!!" as a task to be completed and gave a total of four, and the new project also counted "*!!TEST!!" as a task and listed that it had two tasks to be completed.
Hello Damo,
Thank you for your report, I've passed it to the developers and we'll try to fix this issue in the next updates.
Best regards,

I've had kidney stones before and I was not in much pain this time, but there were blood clots in my urine so I decided to go the the hospital. They took a cat scan to try and find where the stone is in my body, but no stone came up. I checked out of the hospital and went to the bathroom as I was leaving and that's when I passed it. I went back to the Doctor and he said that's one of the bigger ones he has seen. Luckily I was feeling pretty good from the meds so it was not as bad as the size looks, but was not pleasant.

How many syns are in quorn sausages?
How many syns are in quorn sausages?
It depends which ones?
the frozen bags of 8 are 1 each. The frozen boxes of 6 low fat are free. The chilled ones I don't buy so can't comment. If it's not the frozen ones post the specifics and I can look them up
Normal quorn sausages are 1syn each, the low fat ones that come in boxes are free (personally I'd rather syn the normal ones as they are much nicer).
My fave veggie sausages are the linda mccartney range, the rosemary and red onion ones are free and the mozzerella ones are 0.5syn - both are amazing!
Thank you both of you!
Are the LM mozzarella ones 0.5 if using as part if your dairy allowance?
Good question. I'd say yes simply because unless you are going to pick out the cheese somehow it would be impossible to weigh and its important not to guess your HEX?

Hello people Anyone have any feedback on these? Thanks Jim
JimI have not worn this shorts but I have worn the GoLite Stride shorts (same design just in poly). They are great. I felt a little strange in them at first but after a day of rain south of Shenandoah in June I was sold! No wet cling on the back of the legs like nylon supplex. Draw backs are that they are a little slow to dry but hold so little water its not that big a deal. However there is no chaffing because of the fit. My experience with wool is that it dries a little slow also. The up side to wool is that it naturally does not hold oders. I wear wool shirts and its great to slide it on in the morning without that ammonia oder you get with poly after several days (especially with the humidity of the east coast weather). For cold weather I wear them under long pants and then in cool or warm weather I just wear the shorts.
I find them great - light, warm, comfortable, good at not smelling! I run in mine, as well as walk. They stay warm when wet/damp, but yes they dry a bit slower, and because they are a tight fit the dampness is against the body (as opposed to say a traditional pair of shorts). In short, really good. And I'm not a wool fan.

A null pointer exception?
Hi! ! (^_^) Im sort of new to java and recently got an error that i have no idea how to fix. Below is a simplified version of the code I am trying to print out, instead of doing what I wanted it to do... I got a null pointer exception....ugh (@_@) ! . The weird thing is that I did the same thing earlier with : myLeagues[i].getAge() and it worked perfectly, does anyone have some ideas of what might be going wrong or what I can do to fix it. Thanks....
for(int i=0;i
Most of the time, a null pointer exceptions occures when you try to use a reference to an object when it has not been initialized yet.
In this case, the myLeagues[i] array location might not have been initialized with the object that has the getName() method. Initialized meaning something like:
myLeagues[i] = new League();

Anyone who's anyone knows that economics is the name of the game this voting season. Our issues of sustained military action in the Middle East, unemployment, currency devaluation, inflated prices, reduced production and a dozen other problems are all directly related. If the powers that be refuse to correct our economy with wise and educated direction, our Nation will be lost.
Unfortunately, we're faced with a significant dilemma when it comes to bad economic policies, which have become the United States' drug of choice. We were warned by economists like Frédéric Bastiat, Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek, Henry Hazlitt and many others.
"It's addictive," they shouted, though the naysayers told us it would be harmless. "You won't be able to quit once you start," they warned. It started off feeling good. One might say that it even made us feel invincible. Later, it became a habit. Now, it has become a necessity. It has cost us our jobs. It has made us unproductive. It is on the verge of reducing us to poverty, yet still we continue. We are addicted, and there is no way out of this mess without a lot of pain and discontentment.
Our task in the coming election is to ensure that we select a candidate who will push a wise economic policy. If sound economics are practiced, jobs will be created, wars will be resolved, the money supply will be corrected, inflation will be arrested, etc.
In direct regard to this primary concern of our 2012 election, I want to address Mitt Romney, because we have two conflicting statements from him that leave me wondering, and the truth of the issue makes or breaks Romney as a viable candidate.
In his book No Apology, The Case for American Greatness (pg. 119), Romney writes that defending "American… companies from foreign competition may make good politics…, but it is decidedly bad for the nation and our workers. Protectionism stifles productivity." Yet, in the November debate he said, concerning an answer to the problem with China, that we should "go before the WTO and bring an action against them…, and that will allow us to apply, selectively, tariffs, where we believe they are … artificially lowering their prices and killing American jobs."
Which of his assertions does he believe and which is mere pandering? Frankly, not knowing the answer to that bothers me a great deal. The popular opinion of the country, which is the ultimate driving force of our policies, is that we should put taxes on imported goods; i.e. tariffs, also known as protectionism.
Without detailing the erroneous fallacy that money is wealth, or the monopolistic motives behind many tariffs, I'd like to consider a nation of three people for the sake of simplicity. If you have three men — one with apples, the second with oranges and the third with pears — you have the means for simple barter. The apple can be traded for an orange. The orange can be traded for a pear. The pear can be traded for an apple. Money is introduced to facilitate more complicated trades. Say, for example, that the orange grower didn't want an apple, but the apple grower wanted an orange. The orange grower could use money to acquire a pear. Money provides the means to make the trade, but the products are still in plentiful supply.
In the case of imported goods, you have one of two cases. Either someone from another town comes bearing strawberries, or someone with a much more plentiful supply of apples comes and makes competition for the local apple grower.
The argument is that if the more plentiful supply of apples demands a lower price, then it will put the local apple grower out of business. It is necessary, then, to demand that the law protect the local apple grower by taxing the apples coming from the next town. Then each apple will trade for one orange or one pear.
But if the imported apples can be had at a rate of two apples for one pear or one orange, then each resident of the town is wealthier by one apple. That gives him an extra orange or pear to trade for a grapefruit the former apple grower now produces. So it is to the advantage of the community of three to purchase the less-expensive apples and increase the town's physical wealth through the pursuance of another crop.
The same applies to Chinese goods. If the Chinese lower their prices, it is to our benefit. If people see the low prices and say, "it's taking away our jobs," they are looking at it wrong. What low Chinese prices do is give us products at a lower cost and leave more money in our pockets to spend on other goods. If we produce flatware in the United States for $20, and we can get flatware from China for $5, then buying the Chinese product leaves us $15 for a book and perhaps lunch at McDonald's. When the tariff is introduced that makes Chinese flatware $20, the government has effectively deprived the book industry and the McDonald's Corp. of our patronage and reduced their bottom line. Our national industry is stifled, because we waste time and money producing $20 sets of flatware instead of investing our capital and energy into new innovations and buying the Chinese flatware at $5.
Ultimately, the consumer is robbed of a new book and lunch at McDonald's; because instead of spending $20 for a set of flatware, a new book and lunch, he instead spends the same $20 and walks away with nothing more than the flatware.
Tariffs are destructive. If Romney supports them, then he lacks the economics education our Nation so desperately needs. Think carefully before you go with the herd to the polls.

Noteworthy: The Neighbourhood
Less is definitely more – a lesson on how to get noticed in music nowadays. The Neighbourhood is another talented act following in the mysterious footsteps of The Weeknd and Ms Mr. Since a friend showed me their video for 'Female Robbery' a couple months ago, the band has been popping up all over the interwebs and it seems we don't know much about them. What I do know is the lead singer's voice is a bit hypnotizing and I can't stop hitting repeat.
'Female Robbery':
The Los Angeles band makes tracks with the perfect blend of indie, pop, rock layered with smooth instrumentals and effects. What gets under your skin and stuck in your head though are the memorable lyrics and the cold, dark undertones. The track 'Sweater Weather' came out last week and proves the band's unique sound is going to be on everyone's playlist soon. I wish I could tell you more, but for now these two videos will have to suffice. Check out The Neighbourhood's Tumblr and follow them on Twitter.
