Is Liquid Zeolite a Scam? Zeolite Powder or Liquid – Which One is Best?
Zeolite Dosage – How Much Zeolite Should I Take For Health?
How Much Zeolite Should I take?
This is a question most people want to know, and of course it is different for each brand and there are so many brands on the market today, but here are some general guidelines you can follow for the 2 most popular types of zeolite, namely zeolite powder and liquid zeolite. If you have questions about other brands, follow the label, but don't get too stressed. It is impossible to overdose on liquid forms of this supplement, given that there are very small amounts in the bottles.
What do the Scientific Studies on Zeolite Say?
First, according to the scientific studies, the recommended dosage for general maintenance and prevention is 2.5 to 5 grams. In practical terms, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of powdered micronized clinoptilolite will deliver the amount recommended in the scientific literature.
There have been a number of studies and anecdotal evidence that using this mineral orally could be beneficial in removing heavy metals and toxins, as well as studies in which patients used the powder form as an adjunct to conventional cancer treatments. The big question is, how do the supplements on the market today measure up to the studies?
Zeolite Brands
The popular powdered is cleaned micronized zeolite powder with 5000 mg in one measured teaspoon. That makes it easy doesn't it? 1 teaspoon a day matches up with what we have learned. For acute health issues, the recommend 1 teaspoon 3 X a day mixed in water or juice should do it.
This company also serves zeolite in capsules. Their encapsulated clinoptilolite products have either 800 or 900 mg per capsule, so in order to get your 2.5-5 grams a day you would take 3-6 capsules.
What about Liquid Zeolite?
Liquid zeolite is a little bit different. There haven't been any real clinical studies on liquid types, however, popular brands like Original Liquid Zeolite claim their product is simply micronized powdered zeolite which is suspended in water. The label states that there are 24 mg per dose, which means there are 2400 mg per bottle. (this is 1/2 the amount, in an entire bottle, than the recommended dosage in the scientific studies. This is why I mentioned it is impossible to take too much of the liquid products.)
In order to get the minimum dosage recommended in the study, one would need to consume one bottle per day, for prevention. The company claims 24 mg 3 times a day is enough, so that would mean the dosage for that liquid product is 3 drops 3 times a day. Some of their distributors claim one needs to take 10 drops 3 times a day for detox, and 15 drops 4 times a day for an acute health issue.
Despite the fact that liquids deliver a much lower dosage, there have been many testimonials on their effectiveness. While testimonials don't add up to scientific proof, they are powerful in describing how people feel when taking a particular supplement.
What About Other Zeolite Brands?
I recommend that you read labels closely before you buy, to make sure you are getting as close to the dosages recommended in the studies as possible. Since each brand is different, you can now make a decision based on the label.
This will get more confusing as time goes on, and more products hit the market with more ingredients in them. Companies can get away with now saying exactly how much is in the bottle by listing it with other ingredients and calling it a proprietary blend. Because of this, you should try to get a product that lists the ingredients separately and has only a few ingredients.
Which is Better? Zeolite Powder or Liquid?
I think, from a dosage perspective, it is much easier to get an adequate amount by using a powder product. However, many people find scooping a powder into a glass and mixing it with water to be too messy or time-consuming. For those people, and for children who won't drink a whole glass of powder dissolved in water, the liquid form has found a great niche.
For everyone else, zeolite powder is proving to be an excellent way to take zeolite every day.

But it undoubtedly makes the Anglicans feel pretty proud, as they deftly maneuvered the deal that made it happen.
Incredibly, it has been 29 years since the Anglicans pulled off a crafty real estate deal in the heart of the city.
The Anglicans purchased the land behind their Christ Church Cathdrale between Eaton's and the Bay - presumably for a low-cost - and then leased it to developers on a 99-year emphytheutic lease for the property.
So the whole shebang - complete with its revenues will revert back to the church in 71 years.
Those landhold-freehold deals are commune elsewhere, notably in Britain, but thankfully for most homeowners here, they're almost unheard of.
And indeed the deal was considered the first of its kind in these parts although it is said that others took note and imitated it.
The church, finished in 1859, saw its diocesan offices demolished and its rectory was moved 15 feet south to allow a 30-storey building (originally slated to be 18-storeys) designed by architect Rene Menkes with the Cooperants Insurance company as the original tenants in 1985.
Tourists often take photos of the buildings from the corner of St. Catherine - as seen above - as the vista is supposed to mimic he taller structure.
One odd building at the De Maisonneuve/Union SW corner that was demolished contained a portion of an entirely different design.
It housed a handbag shop and other offices. Someone on flickr said that it was just as bizarre on the inside as out.
By the way, other Montreal structures with emphyteutic leases include the Saputo Stadium, which reverts back after 40 years starting from 2006. The MUHC 1750 Cedar deal is said to have one as well. The Dinasaurium had a 20-year-deal on Notre Dame Island in 1993. One was recommended for the failed Mount Orford deal and one of the school boards has one that confused a few people and led to some tax dispute as I recall.

Seizure: The Story of Kathy Morris is a fact-based TV movie, inspired by a book by Charles L. Mee. Penelope Milford stars as Kathy Morris, a 22-year-old Manhattan-based songstress. Kathy undergoes brain surgery to halt her occasional seizures. Unfortunately, her brain begins swelling, resulting in severe neurological damage. In a surprisingly dispassionate fashion, the film chronicles how Ms. Morris overcomes her handicap with the help of a skilled but brusque doctor (Leonard Nimoy), whose solicitous attitude towards his patient results in a reconciliation with his estranged wife. The Felliniesque climax of Seizure: The Story of Kathy Morris finds the real Kathy Morris taking over from Penelope Milford during a singing engagement. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

One-touch video transfer device debuts
updated 04:45 pm EST, Thu January 3, 2008
One-touch video transfers
Pinnacle Systems today debuted Pinnacle Video Transfer (site not updated), a device that record analog video onto any USB 2.0 storage device without the need for a computer. With the touch of a button the company says users with little or no technical expertise can record from a TV, DVD player, iPod, or other device to a USB flash drive or USB hard drive. Users can select three different recording levels for each device, opting for varying video qualities and sizes. Pinnacle Video Transfer will ship January 15th for $130, and includes three RCA audio/video cables as well as a power supply and a quick start guide.
"Today's more mobile consumers have created an insatiable demand for a solution that lets them take their content with them wherever they go," said Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research in Tiburon, CA. "With the ability to transfer video without having to use a PC, Pinnacle's new pocket-sized device takes video transfer to a whole new level."
Pinnacle Video Transfer is designed for users who want to watch TV shows and personal videos on an iPod or other media device, providing easy transfer without the need for a computer to move files from device to device.
Videos are captured in the H.264 format which negates the need for time-consuming conversion. Also known as the Advanced Video Codec (AVC) specification or MPEG 4-Part 10, Pinnacle's H.264 encoding delivers high-quality videos with two to three times the compression efficiency of the MPEG-2 standard used in DVD video. When the 'Best' recording quality is selected videos are captured at up to 720x480/576 (NTSC/PAL) resolution.
Measuring 4.843 x 2.638 x 0.906-inches, the device supports multiple inputs including S-Video, Composite video and stereo audio analog. Purchasing additional cables also enables the Pinnacle Video Transfer to recharge an iPod or PSP battery during video transfer.

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
Paradise Beach, FL (Florida Today) -- Police are sorting through details of an incident involving two men in a black sport utility vehicle who apparently threw a man from the vehicle before dawn at a beachside Melbourne park.
Police were called about 6:45 a.m. to Howard E. Futch Memorial Park at Paradise Beach, 113 Paradise Blvd., after receiving reports that a man was injured after being thrown from a vehicle.
Melbourne police officers arrived at the park and attempted to talk with the man whom police described as incoherent. Brevard County Fire-Rescue crews were also called to treat him for his injuries.
"We're still investigating it," said Lt. Dan Lynch of Melbourne Police Department.
Anyone with information in the case is asked to call police at 321-259-1211.

Mark Dantonio has seen worse opposing defenses as Michigan State's head coach than the one he saw Saturday, but his team has never scored more points.
The Spartans' 55-17 win over Youngstown State matched the output of Dantonio's 2007 debut as head coach (55-18 over UAB) and a 55-3 rout of Indiana in 2011 that clinched the Legends Division title for MSU. This game was not nearly as important as those.

Elizabeth and James
Miley Cyrus in Elizabeth and James Lars Leather Overalls
Miley Cyrus was spotted doing some furniture shopping in Studio city, California. The singer wore a pair of the Elizabeth and James Lars Leather Overalls over a striped turtleneck with some Chanel Couture creepers and bag. She then topped it off with a leather cap.
I have been waiting to see Miley in these overalls. I find that they do suit her style at the moment and fit her really well. But I do think the look can do without the hat as I find it is leaning towards Dennis the Menace territory. Pairing them with the stripes also adds to that vibe.

Elizabeth and James Fall/Winter 2014
Fall/Winter is definitely always a strong season for Elizabeth and James and 2014 is no different. The team there just know what they are doing with outerwear. This season it was kept streamlined with clean, slightly masculine lines and details that were strong, yet subtle at the same time.
There are pieces that are sure to become staples when the collection becomes available, the knits especially. Those sweaters and blazers are something I can see Taylor Tomasi Hill wearing. Which looks are your favorites? You can see the full collection below.
Rihanna in Elizabeth and James Lars Leather Overalls
Rihanna was spotted arriving at her hotel in London before heading off to the launch party for her new fragrance, Rogue. The singer wore a pair of the Elizabeth and James Lars Leather Overalls with a sweater and anorak.
After wearing many denim styles, it is no surprise to see Rihanna wear some leather overalls. This is one of the overall looks that I quite like because it is a subtle approach to the trend. What do you think of the look? You can click her to purchase these overalls from Shopbop.

New Lars Overalls by Elizabeth and James
Overalls are a style that I am really on the border about. One minute I like them and the next I find them to be very dowdy. It really depends on the way they are styled, and when they are done right, I will be the first to admit that my perspective will change for that moment.
One of the styles that caught my attention this season is the new Lars leather overalls by Elizabeth and James. What makes these different to me than the others was actually not the leather, though it helped, but the details. The lock to be exact. Instead of the usual hook that is incorporated in other styles, both denim and leather, these feature a twist lock, that is very much like ones of a handbag and jewelry, in its place. It is a subtle detail, but it is one that I really appreciate. How many of you are willing to try this style out? You can click here to purchase these overalls at Shopbop.

CHAMBERSBURG - Franklin County Career and Technology Center will have a new look in the new year
In addition to the school's expansion and renovation project that is nearing completion, the Joint Operating Committee voted this month to approve a new logo that will be the anchor of a rebranding campaign.
Worx Graphics Inc. of Hagerstown, Md., provided three options for logos and unveiled them at the November meeting. Students weighed in on the vote.
The JOC voted 9-0 to approve a logo that spells out "Career Tech" next to upward pointing arrow. The full name of the school will appear below Career Tech.
"Now that this is done, I can start talking to (construction projects manager) Kevin Weller about what sign to put in," said Career Center Director Keith Yohn. "That's to be taken care of through the renovation process."
The JOC will vote on a tag line at a future meeting. Students suggested "Challenging the ordinary," also a suggestion of the marketing firm.
Out of more than 100 students polled, over 60 percent voted for the Career Tech logo.
Yohn said another phase of construction was to be completed over the holiday break. Crews will put in a new epoxy floor on top of the dated red hallways throughout the school.
Yohn also has plans for outside of the Career Center. The director tapped horticulture instructor Dave Parry to develop landscaping plans for the school grounds.
Parry will likely make a presentation about those plans early in 2013.
"That's what we need to be - a school that works with the students," said Yohn. "We're going to get in there, work, rebrand the school and continue to keep it up. Through the process, that's teaching them skills that will carry on into their careers."

Hugh Tomlinson made the announcement today at Britain's High Court during legal arguments related to lawsuits against News of the World publisher News International. He didn't go into much detail, other than to say that those hundreds of victims could demand millions of extra pounds in damages. The revelation came on the same day British politicians said they had struck a last-minute deal over press regulation. "I think we have got an agreement which protects the freedom of the press ... but also protects the rights of people not to have their lives turned upside down," a senior opposition leader said. The new regulator would be independent of the media and would have the power to force newspapers to print prominent apologies. Submitting to the regulatory regime would be optional, but media groups staying outside the system could risk substantial fines if they get stories wrong. A sign for the News of the World newspaper is seen outside the offices of its owner News International Ltd., in London. in this file photo.

Turning patients over in bed
Changing a patient's position in bed every 2 hours helps keep blood flowing to their skin. This helps their skin stay healthy and prevents bedsores. When you turn a patient, it is a good time to check their skin for redness and sores.
Alternate Names
Roll patient in bed
Getting a Patient Ready
- Explain your plan to the patient so the patient will know what is going to happen. Encourage the patient to help you if possible.
- Stand on the side the patient will be turning towards and lower the bed rail.
- Ask the patient to look towards you -- the way the patient will be turning.
- Move the patient to the center of the bed so that the patient doesn't roll out of bed. Make sure the rail is up on the side you are turning the patient toward.
- The patient's bottom arm should be stretched towards you. Place the patient's top arm across their chest.
- Cross the patient's upper ankle over the bottom ankle.
If you are turning the patient onto their stomach, make sure their bottom hand is above their head before turning the patient.
Turning a Patient
- If you can, raise the bed to a level that reduces back strain for you. Make the bed flat.
- Get as close to the patient as you can.
- Place one of your hands on the patient's shoulder and your other hand on their hip.
- Shift your weight to your front foot as you gently pull the patient's shoulder toward you. Then shift your weight to your back foot as you gently pull their hip toward you.
You may need to repeat steps 3 and 4 until the patient is in the right position.
When the Patient is in the Right Position
- Make sure the patient's ankles, knees and elbows are not resting on top of each other.
- Also make sure their head and neck are in line with their spine, not stretched forward, back, or to the side.
- Return the bed to a comfortable position with the side rails up. Check with the patient to make sure the patient is comfortable. Use pillows as needed.

The fashion world is currently obsessed with bright hair streaks and crazy nail art, so it makes sense that vibrant eyeshadow—particularly blue—is growing in popularity, too.
We first noticed cerulean lids on Chloe Sevigny in Miu Miu's Fall 2012 campaign and spotted them again Saturday at Monique Lhuillier's show. It's little bit of a late '90s throwback, yes, but so are brownish lipstick and overalls. What you think? Does this "haven't done THAT in 15 years!" look appeal to you?

Quality Through Innovation Builds Lasting Relationships
Written By: Jason Coffey
Have you ever heard the saying "You get what you pay for"? This is usually synonymous with the thought that you need to spend more money to get higher quality products. However, this is typically not aligned with the majority of consumers who want more for less. The higher quality products are expected.
When it comes to your business' success, it depends on its ability to deliver both cost and quality. Fortunately, there are multiple cost avenues to create better quality. One direction you might follow–and the method our custom technology group uses–is to utilize quality-based engineering and manufacturing, allowing for delivery of both quality and value.
This is accomplished by building quality into the product and process by reducing the potentials for costly mistakes. The process begins with a systematic approach to clearly identify a customer's needs. Typically, this can be achieved with the use of an FSD (Functional Specifications Document).
The primary objective of an FSD is to clarify where the system boundary lies, and you can do that easily by identifying its inputs and expected outputs. Some examples would be:
- What is being built
- Why are they building it
- How will it be used
- Who will use it
- What is it expected to do after completion
In the beginning stages, there could be many different opinions about what needs to be designed, and it is highly unlikely everyone's expectation is aligned for the outcome of the final product. The FSD can help to offset potentially unnecessary cost and re-work.
Once clearly identified, the engineering team needs to develop designs that are aligned with manufacturing's capabilities to determine the most innovative solutions, helping eliminate over processing and costly errors. In other words, develop ways to get better results with less work.
Once you have specifications and a design, manufacturing can be aided by utilization of better tools such as CNC machines, handheld measuring machines, and video measurement systems. These processes should be continuously monitored so your business can identify where changes are needed. This will ensure they are quality and cost critical activities.
Ultimately, improvements in quality result in decreased production costs, allowing delivery of a high quality product for less. This in turns satisfies the customers' needs and builds lasting relationships.

It has to get better one of these days....
Mu blogging that is! I am ashamed that I have not been blogging that much. Time just does not seem to materialize to where I can grab a few minutes. Plus a major case of sleep deprivation leading to a mind that is numb and barely functioning does not exactly result in a stimulating blog post!
I've started another round of traveling. I am in Zürich for 3 days this week, in Dublin for the weekend, back to Zürich for 3 days next week and then potentially off to Oktoberfest two weekends in a row depending on travel schedules of some friends. Plus I want to take a trip to Versailles and Mont Saint Michel in France, perhaps visiting the Beaches of Normandy and the town Alecon where my family came from.
My return to the US is still not known. It will be sometime this fall, but so far I have not found a job back in Chicago with my company.....anyone know of a company wanting to hire a finance manager with a lot of International experience? =)
Crafting is at an all time low, just not the time as my work days have been 11+ hour days once again. As I keep saying, I'll be back to normal craftiness one of these days!
One of the best parts about moving back to the US would be a return to more normal working hours, which should hopefully allow me more time for knitting and crocheting and other fun assorted projects. Also better access to yarn, so when I have the urge to make something I'll have fast access if it does not exist in my stash.
I had best get back to inputting my budget - I hope that everyone is doing well and will be in touch soon!!

Cancer Treatment Recipe: Peanut Butter Snack Spread
Patients undergoing cancer treatment often suffer appetite loss or a change in smell or taste as a side effect of radiation and/or chemotherapy. These side effects make it difficult for patients to eat consistently and consume the calories and nutrition their body needs as it goes through treatment.
One of the ways patients can get that necessary food energy is by adding calories to an easy-to-eat snack or meal.
Woman's Hospital has plenty of recipes to help cancer patients get their needed nutrition, and many of them require items you probably already have in your pantry, such as the Peanut Butter Snack Spread.
By combining a few simple ingredients, patients can get a high-calorie snack that should not be affected by their changing appetite and taste.
- 1 tablespoon nonfat instant dry milk
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon water
- 5 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine dry milk, water and vanilla, and stir to moisten.
Add honey and peanut butter and stir slowly until blended.
Spread on crackers and enjoy!
The mixture also can be formed into balls, chilled and eaten as candy. It keeps well in the refrigerator, but it can become hard to spread when cold.
Yield: 6 tablespoons
Serving Size: 3 tablespoons

One of my favorite things after each Signing Day is to go back and look at past classes and see how they turned out. SI.com's Andy Staples re-ranks the classes each year and there are plenty of pieces on various sites (here's one on Auburn and one on Tennessee) analyzing how programs turned out talent and others fizzled with five-stars. I stumbled on this study from 2011 on Twitter today and felt it offered some very interesting information.
Among the notable nuggets:
- There's a direct correlation between a team's home attendance and the number of stars on the team. According to the study, for every five-star recruit on the team, attendance will increase by 885 fans.
- There's no relationship between amount of 3+ star players on a team and overall winning percentage in general. However, the study also controlled for schedule/conference and found that more star players on a team usually means a higher winning percentage than those in their conference with fewer star players. 45% of the time a team with the most stars finished with the best or second best winning percentage.
- Not surprisingly, the survey found Boise State's Chris Petersen as the coach to get the best results from good-but-not-great talent.
- USC, Ohio State and Florida were the top three programs in terms of top recruits drafted. Amazingly, nearly a third of USC's players were drafted into the NFL.
- Virginia Tech was the program singled out for developing non-star recruits into draft picks.
- Looking for a coach that will take to you the next level? Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer and Nick Saban are the best active coaches at it while Pete Carroll was the best from 2006-2010.
Again, read the full thing here and see all the details.

It's A Skewed, Skewed World
From Credit Trader
CBOEs recent introduction of the SKEW Index brings the realities of the options market (and real fear indexes) to retail investor's eyes. With so much attention paid to the VIX (the anachronsitic FEAR index) and especially its dropping over the last few months, investors are led to believe that risk is reducing but lo and behold, as many Pros know, the cost of protecting against a much more serious drop (or tail event) has increased quite notably with out-of-the-money options vols rising notably. The chart below shows this quite clearly as VIX (At-the-money vol) ebbs away (red arrows) as the day-to-day vol of more 'normal' mark-to-market movements is culled thanks to the liquidity fueled effervescence, the rise in out of the money (or crisis/event risk) vol has risen dramatically (white arrows). This can only go on so long as vol arbitrageurs will creep up the moneyness curve (to hedge the tail risk) and eventually impact the ATM. This happened in early 2010 and is happening again currently.
The recent moves in the major credit indices also fits with this world view as any smarter-than-the-average bear capital structure arbitrageur knows that the skew (and specifically the out of the money vol market) has a much better relationship with credit than the near-the-money. One other potential way to think of this (hattip to Artemis recent article on this) is that the skew better represents the real market value of the Bernanke Put (i.e. how much is the market pricing in the never-ending story of a Fed-provided safety net) - perhaps notable that the SKEW began to rise very shortly after Jackson Hole and the QE2 plan came online.

Is this a signal to BTFD?
Wow are you for real? I'm kinda shy so I have a sack over my head.
If you're referring to my pic, then yes, that's me as a Halloween kitty last year.
Please take off that silly sack! I feel everyone should post their real photo here, incognito or not. Why not? It's a small enough photo, and a very big world.
Anyway, back to on-topicness....
Yeah but on the internet no one knows you'r a dog/god. *woof*

Taleb has popularized (the not quite original) idea that tail risk is typically underpriced but at what point is tail risk overpriced? If the black swan is big enough your chances of actually taking delivery on your payoff (from your counterparty) gets smaller.

Not if it can be used to find you. I have found a picture of her.
This gave everyone a clue to go long the TVIX. Now with the skew index that inefficiency may disappear. The world was so much better when everyone had to do their own calculations.
We must learn about the bankers...

All fixed.
Funny, I was thinking skewered myself.
It's a screwed, screwed, screwed, screwed, world.
I'm not a PhD economist type, just a little guy. I just realized something that might be pretty obvious to everyone here. If the Bernank is keeping interest rates at $0, and buying treasury bonds on top of that, then interest rates are effectively negative. Correct? Well, I have read that the IRS Act of 1913 was instituted as a ploy first, with the plan to pay the interest of the later FED Act of 23 DEC 1913. If this is true, then in reality, taxpayers are literally giving money away for free to China, et al. Are we paying people to buy our debt now? Is this true? Why would we do such a thing?!
it's called screw the middle class...raw
i dint get the part where the tax payers are giving free money to china. since china holds a lot of us debt they arent the chinese effectively paying the US to hold the debt?
Ben is printing. To pay them off for keeping quiet about the ponzi scam that the US is, Ben is sharing what he is printing. As long as all those in authority agree to keep quiet about all the various kinds of printing going on, the Ponzi will keep on going on... until it can't.
The only limits I can see to this are the physical limits of food, energy, or armaments. We are getting ready to come up against some I fear. Prepare accordingly.
With all the news going on lately, I am almost prepared. I filled up several 5 gallon tanks tanks of gasoline, and went to Sam's Club to stock up on bulk basics: sugar, cooking oil, beans, rice, flour, honey, emergency radio, good survival knife, and AA lithium batteries. After a disasterous attempt to buy some OTM calls in coal companies last week, I am losing my shirt fast. I'm about to cash out and buy some firearms. Wish I had prepared sooner, but at least I'm taking action now. Hard to do on a budget though. GL everyone.
"The only limits I can see to this are the physical limits of food, energy, or armaments. We are getting ready to come up against some I fear."
That is exactly correct. Hard limits are in view, although not physical. If Ben takes the value of the Dollar to zero, as is widely expected here, our carrier groups will not be able to put to sea, and we will not be able to defend ourselves. That is not going to happen. They (I hope, anyway, understand that). Extrapolation of the current trend line is absolutely the best short term forecasting tool. The hell of it is, that in the long term, it is always wrong.
Contrary opinions invited. I thoughtfully consider same, and am usually educated by them...
Can anyone find the correlation between the nationwide heat map in the link vs. municipalities/states in trouble with debt?
It should be...quite easy to see.
How do the states green/red compensate state workers & how are state entitlements distributed? hmmmmmmmm States with the highest debt levels also have the highest gas prices and I'm sure higher everything else prices. I'd be willing to bet business is fleeing those states and thus...well you get the idea.
Food for thought if you trade in debt relating to states/municipalities.
a quick glance suggests you're right. I'm pretty certain a scatter plot of those gas prices vs. CDS of the 17 states which are actively traded would yield a positive (and statistically significant) correlation
Shit. lol
I mistakenly deleted a comment and I'm not redoing it.
Here's you answer, Bob (at least as it relates to gas prices).
But, yes, CAL is see businesses flee in boat loads.
Oustanding CreditTrader. Thx!
Noticed that we have perhaps less than a week until post numbers go 7 digits. Peak post, or do we have a 32 bit integer for post index?
Bernanke is going to destroy valuations on everything if he pumps a QE3, the market won't price risk on from crack up booms anymore, especially when oil will head over $100, yields will go ballistic and China will go nuclear...
Stocks will sell off : volume increasing means that short positions are gathering.
Safty net is now FUBAR
"Stocks will sell off'
Yes they will. My guess is soon (well, shoot, has it already started?)

Historically, the U.S. chemicals and plastics industry was the envy of the world. At its peak in the 1950s, the industry was responsible for over 5 million U.S. jobs and a $20 billion positive trade balance for the United States. Jobs associated with the industry were typically among the highest paid in U.S. manufacturing.
Over the last two decades, competitive advantage for chemicals and plastics manufacturing has shifted towards the Middle East and Asia, as has the industry. U.S. employment in the sector has dropped over the last decade and is projected to shrink further as capital investment for the petroleum-based industry has essentially shifted away from the United States.
Biobased chemicals and plastics represent a historic opportunity to reverse these trends through the creation of a new generation of renewable, sustainable products developed and produced in the United States. Biobased chemicals and plastics — often referred to as biobased products— are virtually the same as their petroleum-based counterparts, but are manufactured from renewable resources. Recent advances in biotechnology are now making it possible to manufacture many traditional chemicals — and many promising new alternatives— from renewable biomass instead of petroleum.
Biobased products can supplement or replace a wide variety of petroleum-based products, and the United States has a substantial potential competitive advantage in their manufacture:
A growing number of early stage successes across a wide range of biobased products indicates this sector has tremendous potential. Even in its nascent state, the biobased products industry accounts for over 5,700 direct jobs, and is likely responsible for over 40,000 jobs economy wide. Achieving the industry's full potential could create tens of thousands of high-paying green jobs in the United States within the next five years.
The biobased products sector should be nurtured so that its benefits can be realized in the United States. Economic development impacts will include the creation of high-valued green jobs, an improved trade balance, the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and enhanced energy security through reduction of dependence on imported foreign oil.
To foster growth of the biobased products sector in the United States, federal policy should provide strong support for research, development and commercialization of innovative biobased products, including grants and loans for construction of biorefineries, a strong biobased markets program, and tax incentives for pioneering commercial production.

VETS Network Assists Unemployed Veteran
On December 14, 2011, Local Veterans Employment Representative Janine Jordan and I were contacted concerning a veteran in need of immediate assistance. Corey Wynn is a member of the Army National Guard who recently returned from a deployment to Iraq. He was unemployed, living in a rural area of Alabama and needed help paying bills. We contacted Corey and assessed his situation. Because of the desperate nature of Corey's circumstances, we made plans to visit him immediately.
The following day, we drove to Stevenson and took Corey to the Scottsboro Career Center so he could file for Unemployment Compensation. With Janine's help, the Scottsboro Post 6073 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Huntsville Chapter of the Disabled American Veterans provided money to cover Corey's past due bills and rent. Janine even chipped in to provided cell phone minutes. We reassured Corey that there was a network of individuals and organizations working to render additional assistance in the coming days and weeks. Corey thanked us repeatedly for the quick response and all the assistance provided.
Because Christmas was coming soon, Huntsville Disabled Veterans Outreach Program Specialist Willetta Walker collected gifts, money, food and a child's bike for Corey and his family. I delivered the food and gifts to Corey and he was overwhelmed at the outpouring of support.
The collective assistance helped Corey get through the stressful holidays. On January 4, Corey and I went to the Career Center again and worked on his resume. He applied for several jobs and had two informal interviews that day, one with a promising job offer.
Corey's situation has greatly improved, much to his credit. He was determined to find work to support his family on his own and he has done just that. He is currently employed, and during a recent phone call, he informed me that he found more suitable employment that has the potential to become long-term and will more adequately support his family.
Editor's Note: The author, Robert Gossett is a Disabled Veterans Outreach Program Specialist.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—The Aces fell behind early and never recovered Wednesday night, dropping a 19-4 decision to the Colorado Springs Sky Sox in an Independence Day series opener at Security Service Field.
The Sky Sox scored 10 times over the game's first three innings, then pushed across nine more runs in their final two at-bats to capture the victory. The loss for Reno snapped a three-game winning streak and marked the club's first defeat in the month of July.
Aces starter Zach Kroenke (5-2) took the loss, surrendering 10 runs on 13 hits over three innings of work. After his exit, Bryan Henry kept Reno in the ballgame with three scoreless frames, but the Sky Sox tapped Taylor Sinclair and position player Taylor Harbin for nine runs over the game's final two innings.
Sky Sox starter Guillermo Moscoso (5-3) earned the win, scattering four runs on seven hits through five innings.
At the plate for Reno, Jake Elmore collected four hits and two RBIs. A.J. Pollock registered three hits, while Konrad Schmidt added a solo home run—his fourth of the season.
The series continues on Thursday night. RHP Joe Martinez (7-5, 5.20 ERA) gets the nod for Reno, while Colorado Springs will counter with RHP Alex White (1-3, 3.45 ERA). First pitch from Security Service Field is set for 6:05 p.m. PT, and the action can be listened to live on Fox Sports 630 AM or by visiting RenoAces.com.

This is a guest post by Alastair Vance who leads worship for Story Church. Alastair is a stand-out worshipblogger, musician and one of the kindest persons I've ever met online! His article has some great tips to creatively engage congregations during worship services, enjoy!
It seems that lots of churches today are dealing with similar problems when it comes to congregational worship. Our congregations are in danger of becoming more like spectators than actual participants.
There are many reasons cited for this shift. I read something once that indicated the more professional and slick the service is, the more unworthy the congregation will feel about participating. What do you think about that? I don't actually agree with it. If you attend a rock concert, there are not many people holding back, no matter whether they can sing or not.
Maybe we are not singing the right songs that connect with our congregations? We might be singing what we think are all the cool songs, but maybe it's just not a good fit for our church?
I really believe it all boils down to the church's worship culture, and it's the worship leader and the pastor's responsibility to cultivate and grow that within our churches.
It's the "how" part that I'm currently struggling with and working on. How do we engage people and send them off running in pursuit of God during our corporate worship?
Corporate worship doesn't have to be (nor should it be) all about singing. To the average congregation member "worship" = "singing", but not everyone likes to sing and that is OK. Worship leaders and church leaders should know that singing is only one way to worship God. Does that concept work in our corporate worship setting?
Louie Giglio defines worship as "our response, both personal and corporate, to God for who He is, and what He has done; expressed in and by the things we say and the way we live".
"Response" is the key word here. I believe that more than trying to get our congregation to sing, we should be working on getting them to respond. While singing is definitely a big (and awesome) part of this, we need to be thinking of providing alternative opportunities for people to participate in corporate worship.
At Story Church, we often have communion and prayer opportunities in our services when we feel led. This is a good way to get congregations out of their seats and responding to God. However it's great to change things up now and again with the hope of helping people see things in a new light, or reevaluate something they've let grow into meaningless ritual.
Last September, Story Church hosted a Creative Worship day. We provided a range of different activities that people could participate in during the service. These included singing together, writing poetry, painting, hammering huge nails into a cross, among many others (read the full post here). This day was kind of an experiment and we had no idea if people would respond. To my surprise, they embraced the idea fully and it made the day a great success.
Since then, we have been trying to bring elements like those into the service that either complement or reinforce the message. An example of this recently was when Pastor Jeremy shared from the parable of the unforgiving servant. When the band got back up after the sermon we played "You Are My King" by Billy Foote. While the music played the congregation lined up to write out cards specifying debts owed to them. There were ink stamps and pads available to allow them to stamp PAID on the card, forgiving those listed for the hurt they had caused them. Powerful. It was such a releasing moment for many, and more meaningful than singing the song alone.
You don't always need props to give room for response. One time we placed words on the screen and had each side of the room take turns reaffirming truths over each other. This was simple, yet powerful and helps people not only understand the message, but retain it for longer.
While not really an in-service response, another effective way of concreting the message in the minds of our congregations is to have them leave with some token to remind them. I have a little key-chain boxing glove that hangs on my wall at work. It was from our 'Fight for your Heart' series. In the series we talked about a few issues we need to protect our hearts from - like greed and anger. I'd probably remember none of the points if I didn't have that key-chain to remind me.
We are a young church, many of us volunteers with full-time non-church jobs. Finding the time to dedicate to planning elements like this is difficult, but we've started and so can you! It becomes a lot easier when the message series is planned well ahead. Identify some creative people in your church and distribute message outlines in advance to get their brains thinking.
Here are some tips to finish off:
- You don't need a new element every week.
- You can reuse elements, but don't become too predictable.
- In building these elements, engage some of your congregation who normally have no avenue for their skills - painters/carpenters/crafts.
- Don't introduce elements for the sake of it. Make sure it's related and helps to reinforce the message.
- Take it slowly. Don't introduce too much at once.
- Plan early, let the ideas sink in amongst the team and then talk about what elements could be introduced.
- Using music as a background to these times of response usually works better.
- Have a prayer team ready to pray with anyone who needs it.
Have you tried something different to engage congregations creatively in your church?
Can you share what worked well and what did not?

Avenging the flying pigs
Posted By Paul Sperry On 10/02/2001 @ 1:00 am In Commentary | Comments Disabled
WASHINGTON – Many thanks to the more than 600 peace-loving American Muslims who have sent me hate mail – including a dozen death threats – over my Sept. 27 column, "If pigs could fly." You have helped me gather, effortlessly, valuable intelligence about the mindset of worshippers at the more than 3,000 Islamic centers and mosques across the country.
Islam-Infonet, a news service of the supposedly mainstream Council on American-Islamic Relations, carried my column. Many American Muslims — men,
women; young, old; college students and professionals; almost all of Arab origin — linked to it from there.
Though they hardly represent the views of all the nation's 6 million or so Muslims, their venomous letters reveal anti-American biases and predispositions that don't square with the peace-loving and patriotic rhetoric mouthed by Muslim scholars and spokespeople on television.
Here is what I've learned:
For example, one Muslim woman insisted that "Muslims did not commit these crimes," referring to the 19 Arab hijackers who left documents drawing on traditional Islamic prayers and alluding to Koranic verses. "Very confused individuals did."
"He has not been tried in a court," argued Lina Abusali. So under American law, "he is innocent until proven guilty."
"Osama is only a suspect in America's mind," scoffed another. "There is no proof."
"Remember, it's not the Taliban that was behind the WTC attacks," claimed M. Attaulla Khan. "They had nothing against America."
Not one.
In fact, some seemed more worried than offended by my porcine psyops strategy, and did their best to cast doubt on its effectiveness.
"C'mon, man, do you think your stupid strategy will work?" said a man who signed his name, "Ahmad."
"There are times when Muslims are allowed to eat pork," he assured me, kaffir that I am.
"Muslims aren't afraid of eating pork or [pork] by-products," Dareen Neerad insisted. "And if Muslims eat, unknowingly, pig's meat or lard, then they just have to ask Allah's forgiveness, purify themselves and rinse out their mouths."
Safia Naqvi swore that "Muslims aren't afraid of pigs," and suggested I ham-bone up on my Koran.
But Karen Soud, "a loyal Muslim American," who slammed me for "hate-mongering," admitted in a ray of honesty: "You obviously researched our dietary habits thoroughly."
Indeed, my information came from a spokeswoman for the Islamic Education Center in Potomac, Md.
"Do you even know if it was Muslims who committed the act?" demanded an American Muslim who signed his letter, "AJM." "How about the Jews who are slaughtering innocent men, women, children, infants, sick and old in Palestine? Why not write an article about them?"
This fellow and other faithful seem to be singing from the same hymnal as bin Laden, who also has fingered Jews for the attacks.
Gee, I wish someone would fill in hot-head Muhammad Khan. He apparently skipped over the more soothing suras in his Koran.
"Maybe we could grind up your filthy, pathetic body and feed it to the pigs before we send them to the Muslims," Khan wrote me. "You should watch your back from now on. Maybe these 'Islamic fundamentalists' could come after you and your family."
Or Zaafir Mahdi: "Since you are a swine, we will cut you open and drain you of blood, and then the U.S. military can use that if they wish."
Or this peace-loving guy: "I'm surprised that such an anti-Muslim lives. Now you know what needs to be done to anti-Muslims. They deserve to die."
Then there was this sweetheart: "No Muslim would mind to kill a bastard like you."
Others who aren't into murdering columnists just likened me to Hitler.
But the coup de grace came from a guy who compared me to "Bay Watch" actor David Hasselhoff – the ultimate insult. After seeing my column mug, he dismissed me as a Hasselhoff knock-off and said I should go "run down the beach with your little red shorts and fake tan."
All this because I proposed a nonviolent (at least to humans) way to quickly win the war on terrorism, one with no risk of collateral casualties to women and children. Pigs may not like it. But, hey, they're short-timing it anyway with Thanksgiving and Christmas approaching.
You'd think American Muslims would want to avenge the deaths of their 6,000-plus fellow Americans. But they seem more interested in honoring and guarding ancient customs, even on behalf of known terrorists half way around the world.
"Don't get me started on all the countries the U.S. has bombed for money or (out of) political ignorance, and then said it was justifiable," fumed one Muslim man. "But when someone else does it here, they are terrorists."
"These hijackers did not hate Americans," wrote another U.S. Muslim. "They hated the (American) foreign policy. And many nations don't agree with the policy, even many Americans."
"I don't need to remind you that there are 1.3 billion Muslims in the world, including over 7 million in North America, and that Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the world," boasted a Muslim woman.
(Given that virtually all foreign terrorists who attack the West are Muslims, that actually may be more cause for alarm than celebration.)
"Before I am an American, I am a Muslim," declared the man with the initials, AJM.
Such a statement coming now, after what has just happened, is chilling. It smacks of divided loyalty. Indeed, American Muslims seem to be straddling two worlds – one of wealth, freedom and security here, and one of cultural identity with their brethren in the Middle East.
But America's security vaporized Sept. 11 with the twin towers, and its wealth and freedom aren't far behind, thanks to the terrorists who attacked us in the name of Allah.
Will Americans of Islamic faith help us get our security back, or will they secretly sympathize with the jihad waged by the murderous thieves who took it?
It may not be a choice of country over faith, but it most certainly is – like no time since the British terrorized Washington 187 years ago – a matter of patriotism.
American Muslims must ask themselves: Do I love and respect my country?
If the answer is yes, then fight with us for her. If no, stop pretending to love and respect her. Have the courage to publicly renounce your citizenship and join the enemy.

Paul Mitchell Curls Full Circle Leave-In Treatment6.8 oz. | Leave-in Conditioner
see all Paul Mitchell products
(Rated 3/5 based on 20 reviews) Login to add your review
Cute bottle. Smells good, has great slip, and left my hair feeling soft. The only problem I had with this is that I had to use a lot of it to get my hair to the point where I like it. Went through the bottle quick.
This smells very delicious and has great slip but it does not moisturize like I'd prefer. I have fine, very porous curls that are susceptible to frizz. It leaves my hair moisturized for a day but after that, I have patches of dryness.
I really didn't like that product ! ( i actually didn't like the whole line unfortunately). After applying it i had to follow with another product to keep my hair moisturize. It's not moisturizing enough.
it was very light, but for the thickness of my curls, it just didn't moisturize them like I was hoping. And there was a lot of product build-up after just one use.
Works very well the Paul Mitchell Curls Ultimate Wave Beachy Texture Cream-Gel. When used alone, it detangled my hair, but did not provide enough moisture.
on the pricey side but overall a really good product that defined my curls and made them frizz free and soft
I bought this after seeing it on here, and was super duper excited to try it. ~Insert Disappointed Sigh Here~ it wasn't anything to be excited about. I am slowly introducing certain water soluble cones back into my regimen, for the warmer weather, so I decided to try this to start with. It smelled like a typical Paul Mitchell salon product, but seemed to make little to no difference in my hair, and for a product with cones, if it works worse than a cone-free product, "Ain't nobody got time for that"!
this moisturised my hair for 2 minutes then my hair was dry it smells good though. is too expensive for the little bottle you receive. Might purchase again if on sale
This is the first leave-in to knock my holy grail off its throne. Thought I wouldn't like it, to be honest, but i was PLEASANTLY surprised! So much slip, great creamy consistency but still light enough to pair with butters or curl puddings. I kept using it day in and day out and completely forgot about my holy grail... kind of sad I have to find a salon somewhere just to buy it...
I love this Leave-In Conditioner! It has slip, the smell is pleasant...citrus, grapefruit type of smell. It's not heavy and as I applied it - I felt it absorbing into my hair properly with no stickiness, residue or oily feeling. I felt it closes to cuticles to my hair strands and my hair felt smooth and moisturized!!!! 5 out of 5 CURLS!!!!
This is lightweight, softening, tangle preventing, definition providing, and nice smelling. I need to use a lot of it to work it throughout my hair, though, and it's a small bottle with a high price tag. This is great for special occasions, but if I used it all the time I'd run out really quickly. This works best used in conjunction with the shampoo and the curl cream. It seems to enhance the definition provided by the curl cream.
Not a bad product, but I just didn't feel like it held enough moisture in my hair. I still had problems with frizz and this product along with the other PM Curls product seems to leave me with product residue which leads me to tangles.
I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I used it on my own 3a/b curls after using the shampoo and it was just what I needed to detangle (since the shampoo didn't do it). It's just the right consistency for a leave in, not too thin, not too thick, and it coated my tresses oh so well. It made them soft and bouncy and not at all heavy or greasy. I love the delicate smell of this concoction and even used it to detangle my 2 year old daughter's hair! It worked quite well, but then I thought, the more I use on her, the less I'll have for myself... I love this stuff so much that not only might I have to be selfish with it, I may even have to ration it out and save it to use for special occasions. Yes, it's that good!
The consistency isn't too thick or too thin; a happy medium. It does moisturize my hair well and doesn't weigh it down which is nice. I don't care for the scent but it fades away after it dries.
this made my hair very soft! It did not define the curls though, or get rid of any frizz I do have,
Light in my hand but made my hair behave with super-frizz like I'd suffocated it with something much heavier. Major fluff.
I liked that the leave in is lightweight and it's not too heavy. when after i had applied the leave in to my hair, it went on smooth. It's an ok detangler. It doesn't detangle my hair that good. overall it's just an ok leave in.

November 28, 2015
COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) -- City officials in Columbus have approved spending $1.3 million to stabilize two sections of the Chattahoochee River's banks that collapsed along the city's whitewater course.
The new whitewater rafting course opened earlier this year on the river, which separates Columbus from Phenix City, Ala.
The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reports that the Columbus City Council approved the money at a meeting on Tuesday.
Deputy City Manager David Arrington told councilors that a section that collapsed in March behind Chase Apartments has been stabilized temporarily but needs permanent stabilization work. At another section north of that site, about 600 feet of bank has collapsed, threatening the Chattahoochee RiverWalk in that section.
Arrington said record rainfall this year is likely a factor, and riverbank failures are a fact of life along the Chattahoochee.

As you know from our posts earlier this week, the TN Team has been arguing over which season they think is best. Was it fall, with its pumpkin-flavored foods and fall foliage? Was it winter, with its extreme sports and winter holidays? Was it spring, with its blooming flowers and sports? Or was it fall, with its fun summer activities and barbecues?
While we did our best to make a case for our respective favorites, we also wanted to give our readers a chance to weigh in. So we asked around on social media to you tell us which season reigned supreme. And YOUR choice for the best season is (drumroll please)...
Tags: Battle of the Seasons, summer, fall, winter, spring
Yes, it's fall. So, let me be the first person to say... I'm sorry that you have to suffer through such a dreadful season only to lead up to an equally bad season (winter). Time to get out the rakes and shovels, fun is over. On the bright side, only six months until the spring.
I sometimes find it hard to believe that people would choose any season other than the spring as the best of them all. Spring is far and away the best season and not just because of all its good qualities, but because of all the shortcomings of the other seasons.
Trees And Flowers Are Back From The Dead. The #1 reason that people love the fall is the foliage, which by definition is leaves DYING from off the trees. Maybe if those dead leaves stayed on the trees, but no, hours and hours of raking is inevitable. Give me the spring, when the trees start budding once again with new life. Flowers begin to bloom once again. Any color you could want to see starts showing up again on trees and in gardens. I choose to watch things come back to life, not die and decay, but that could be just me.
Tags: seasons, spring, humor, Battle Of The Seasons
Forget the fact that in some parts of the U.S., there's snow on the ground. IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!
Tags: spring, weather, seasons
At long last, spring is tomorrow! Of course, we here are having a difficult time believing that every time we look out the windows in our office, but officially it is arriving tomorrow at 11:02 UTC, or 7:02 AM EDT/4:02 AM PDT in the United States.
As with sports, spring is a great time to attend a concert, especially in smaller, amphitheater-like settings. With the back walls open, you can grab a lawn seat and, if it's not an actual seat, spread out a little and enjoy the show.
It is in this environment that a group like the Dave Matthews Band thrives. The band knows exactly how to keep its fans entertained: good grooves, creativity and improvisation, and an intimate atmosphere provided by the amphitheater setting (though they sometimes play arenas, too). These are just a few reasons their annual summer tours tend to be very popular. Anyone who's experienced the major traffic jams whenever they come to Hartford, CT, could tell you that.
As luck would have it, almost every concert on their upcoming summer tour is in an amphitheater; the ones that are not are in theaters or festival grounds, which are usually similarly intimate settings. The tour begins May 17 in Spring, TX, and ends September 8 in Mountain View, CA. DMB also has a couple remaining shows from the winter tour coming up on April 6 in Birmingham, AL, and April 27 in Southaven, MS. Finally, the band will be performing at the New Orleans Jazz Fest on April 28.

Over the past week, we have been counting down the days until spring will finally be here. As a sports enthusiast, spring is an amazing time of the year. During the 93 days of spring, the NCAA men's and women's basketball tournaments take place, the NBA and NHL playoffs will start and almost end, and the NFL will have its annual draft at Radio City Music Hall. But the top thing I am looking forward to this season, is the start of the 2013 Major League Baseball season on March 31.
Is there any sport more connected to spring then baseball? When Spring Training officially began in late February, everyone began to see the light at the end of the dark, cold, winter tunnel, and began eagerly awaiting the start of the baseball season. There is nothing quite like sitting at ballpark when the weather is warm enough that you can wear just a T-Shirt and shorts, but cool enough that you won't break a sweat sitting in the sun. Perfection.
As a Red Sox fan myself, there is not really the same excitement as in years past, but that doesn't matter. I love baseball. And if you are a die-hard fan like me, you always stick behind your team, for better or worse. Despite the less-than-stellar outlook for the Red Sox this year, I can't wait for all the baseball debates I will have this year. The most heated sports arguments always seem to be between baseball rivals. There is not a Yankees fan out there that I don't love arguing with (except my wife; we have agreed not to talk about it, specifically anything Derek Jeter related).
When the season starts, I can always count on tuning into a game every night for the next six months. There is nothing quite like it. I love all sports, but Major League Baseball has a much more sentimental value in my heart and that is why it's my favorite thing about the spring season.
What sports event or game that are you looking forward most in spring 2013?

Run time exec problem

I would like to open a chm file from my "help" menu.
I got two problem related to that:
1.The first time the menu is clicked i start the process and the help is opened on top of my application frame.
but - the second time It is opened - the only wat to recognize i sthe process is still active is to call exitValue (if it get an exception - process is still active) but - how can i make the frame on top of my application frame( the current active frame)
2.when the application is closed the help application does not "die" with the rest of the application.
I will be happy to get some ideas of how can i control it.
this is my code:
Runtime runtime= Runtime.getRuntime(); try { if(process==null){ process=runtime.exec(new String[] {"cmd.exe","/c" , helpLink}); } else{ try { process.exitValue(); process = runtime.exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe", "/c", helpLink}); if (log.isDebugEnabled()) log.debug("process finish working"); } catch (IllegalThreadStateException e1) { if (log.isDebugEnabled()) log.debug("process still working"); } } } catch (IOException e1) { if (log.isErrorEnabled()){ log.error("could not open help file"+ helpLink); log.error("exception:",e1); } WorkingAreaManager.getWorkingAreaManagerInstance().displayErrorMessage(COULD_OPEN_HELP); }

The second issue you mentioned about the process not dying along with your
process can be overcome by manually killing the process in your exit code.
I find it's always good practice to have a handle available on the windowClosing event of your GUI. You don't have to put any special code inside this event capture block but it means that you can tidy things up ni the event of your Java app closing.
For example:
I always create an internal class which handles these Window events and then add an instance of the internal class as a registered listener for the parent class.
public class GUIScreen extends JFrame { public GUIScreen( ) { addWindowListener( new GUIListener( ) ); } protected class GUIListener extends WindowAdapter { windowClosing( WindowEvent e ) { // Kill help program process here } } }
The code isn't perfect, it's been a long time since I worked with Java and I'm a little rusty!
With regards to your second problem I'm not 100% sure what the actual problem you feel that you have is. There is nothing wrong with using an exception to handle a certain situation. In fact that is why they exist.
An alternative would be to create a new Thread and pass it a Runnable object which spawns the external help file viewer. The runnable object can then be monitored to see if it is still running or not.
Sometimes though, it's just easier and cleaner to wait for an exception liek the one you get already and then deal with things as appropriate.
Hope some of this helps,

first of all thatks for trying to help.
I guess my description is not too clear:
the problem of closing the process - i do have the windowAdapter -and i kill the process.destroy -without any affection.
the other problem is if the help application is already open but minimized - i can recognize that the process is active but i cant make it "jump" to the top of the screen (so it will be the active frame).
About the way i detact that the process is active - lets just admit that a better way was to ask the process "isActive()" or soemthing like that and not to get the exception saying the process was not over yet.....
I agree. Here's the link:
