First published in 1899, this beautiful, briefnovel so disturbed critics and the public that itwas banished for decades afterward. Now widely readand admired, "The Awakening" hasbeen hailed as an early vision of woman'semancipation. This sensuous book tells of a woman'sabandonment of her family, her seduction, and herawakening to desires and passions that threated toconsumer her. Originally entitled "A SolitarySoul," this portrait of twenty-eight-year-oldEdna Pontellier is a landmark in American fiction, rooted firmly in the romantic tradition of HermanMelville and Emily Dickinson. Here, a woman insearch of self-discovery turns away from convention andsociety, and toward the primal, from conventionand society, and toward the primal, irresistiblyattracted to nature and the senses"TheAwakening," Kate Chopin's last novel, has beenpraised by Edmund Wilson as "beautifullywritten." And Willa Cather described its style as"exquisite," "sensitive," and"iridescent." This edition of "TheAwakening" also includes a selection ofshort stories by Kate Chopin.
"This seems to me ahigher order of feminism than repeating the storyof woman as victim... Kate Chopin gives her femaleprotagonist the central role, normally reservedfor Man, in a meditation on identity and culture, consciousness and art." -- From theintroduction by Marilynne Robinson.
About the Author
Kate Chopin was born in St. Louis, Missouri, In 1851. She began writing shortly after her Husband's death and, from 1889 until her own Death, her stories and other miscellaneous Writings appeared in "Vogue, Youth's companion, Atlantic Monthly, Century, Saturday Evening Post, " and other publications. In addition to "The Awakening, "Mrs. Chopin published another novel, "At Fault, " and two collections of short stories and sketches, "Bayou Folk" and "A Night at Acadie." The publication of "The Awakening" in 1899 occasioned shocked and angry response from reviewers all over the country. The book was taken off the shelves of the St. Louis mercantile library and its author was barred from the fine arts club. Kate Chopin died in 1904.

Senior staffer in mandatory treatment process stood down
The psychologist responsible for assessing problem drinkers under the Mandatory Alcohol Treatment Act has been stood down.

- Permalink
The acting co-ordinator and senior assessment clinician at the Alice Springs Assessment and Treatment Service (ASAAS) has been stood down.
The Department of Health has confirmed that an investigation is underway relating to 'complaints related to operational issues.'
The department say further details around the nature of the complaints will not be provided due to staff privacy.
The assessment service was set up as part of the July 1st implementation of alcohol mandatory treatment across the Northern Territory.
Part of the co-ordinator's role is to make recommendations to the Mandatory Treatment Tribunal regarding the treatment orders of chronic drinkers.
In a statement, the department says the validity of these recommendations has not been impacted.
"Operational issues related to the acting coordinator were in relation to her role as a coordinator and not her performance as a senior assessment clinician...
These operational issues have not had any bearing on decisions regarding treatment of clients who have appeared before the Tribunal."
Over 40 problem drinkers have been admitted to the assessment service in Alice Springs since it opened.

Answering Topic: Which is the most overated Dark Type?
I would say that the dark/ghost types were the most overrated with their introduction with their no weakness. But their stats say otherwise. I cant say top OU pokes like Tyranitar and and Hydreigon are overated cuz their reputation is true to form. On that I say would be overrated is Zoroark. Its true its a very good offensive poke that can get into your opponents head and a forced to be reckoned with. However, its overhype with the introdution of its movie(refer to lucario) and its fragility combined with somewhat limited options against special walls can say a little bit about how Zoroark is slightly overated imo.

The present invention relates to improvements in extrusion machines and to a method for improving the structure and performance of such machines and to an improved system for feeding and extruding meltable compositions, such as polymer compositions, metals and other extrudable compositions more effectively and more efficiently.
Conventional extrusion machines include those of the type illustrated by my U.S. Pat. No. 4,344,710. Such machines generally have a barrel and screw ratio of length to diameter of at least 16:1 and generally 24 to 36:1, to accommodate a feeding zone, compressing zone and heating zone(s), mixing zone and cooling zone. The solid extrusion composition is fed into the feed zone (throat) in powder, granular, or pellet form, where it enters the screw channel and rotates with the screw during axial movement to the compression zone. Such rotation of the solids bed with the screw inside the smooth barrel produces undesirable frictional heat generation which softens the solids and limits or prevents the axial movement of solid material. To prevent this frictional heat build-up, the screw and barrel are generally water cooled in the throat and feed zones.
Extruders with grooved barrels and throats are used by the plastics industry because they forward the solids axially with the screw and resist or prevent the solids from rotating with the screw inside the barrel. These grooved barrel extruders use energy more efficiently than smooth bore extruders in melting and pumping the composition. However, there appears to be a practical size limitation for the screw diameter, about 31/2 inches. Barrel and screw cooling is also critical on these grooved barrel extruders because elevated temperatures prematurely soften the extrudate in the barrel grooves allowing the softened solids to turn in the barrel with the screw rather than advancing in the axial direction.
The typical axial groove in a conventional grooved barrel is constructed with parallel sides spaced apart by about 2 diameters of a plastic resin pellet and have an average groove depth approximately equal to the groove width. The depth of these grooves is about 11/2 times their width in the feed throat zone and taper to no depth at the end of 6 to 9 barrel diameters of length. These typical grooves are difficult to clean when they plug or bridge because of interrupted cooling or excessive back pressure.
The present invention involves several related discoveries which led to the design of a novel screw extrusion apparatus and method for improving the performance thereof.
A first discovery is that extrusion composition can be restrained against rotation within the feed section and solids conveying section of an extrusion barrel by forming such sections of the barrel with a plurality of axial recesses which restrain the rotation of the solid extrusion material packed therein but permit smooth axial movement thereof along the barrel into the compression zone. This prevents stagnation of the composition in the feed zone, excess heating, melting or bridging of the composition in the feed zone and in the throat of the feed hopper and minimizes the need for water cooling of the feed section. Moreover, it improves the uniform and rapid feeding of dry composition into and through the feed section.
A second discovery is that the use of an extrusion screw having a vaulted channel of decreasing depth causes the packing of the solid extrusion composition into the axial barrel grooves to form a rotation-restrained solid composition in the solids conveying section which substantially fills the vaulted screw channel and generates sufficient force during axial movement to melt and forward material through the mixing section and downstream extrusion die and substantially increase the output of the apparatus in pounds per horsepower.
Yet another discovery relating to the novel apparatus of the present invention is that the increased solids pressure gives rise to adiabatic conditions sufficient to melt the extrusion composition without the need for applying external heat. The compression of the solid or semi-solid composition is caused by the shallowing of the screw channel within the compression section and its disappearance at the exit end of the compression section, generating sufficient pressure and heat to melt the composition to a viscous condition suitable for extrusion. Little external heating and no eventual external cooling is required and therefore the length of the extrusion barrel and screw may be reduced substantially and energy is conserved.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the barrel in the area of the solids feeding and conveying sections is polygonal, most preferably octagonal or hexagonal in cross-section.
According to another preferred embodiment, the feed throat section of the barrel is provided with increased diameter or clearance to facilitate the movement of the dry composition from the feed hopper and around the barrel to fill the axial barrel grooves uniformly.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a compact plastic extrusion apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention, illustrated in test mode;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a screw extrusion section of the apparatus of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view along the line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an elevation view of a portion of a standard extrusion screw having a relatively deep channel, used to perform comparative tests reported herein;
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view along the line 5--5 of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is an elevation view of a portion of a vaulted extrusion screw used according to the invention and having a relatively deep channel and a single thread flight;
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view along line 7--7 of FIG. 6;
FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of a grooved barrel according to another embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of another grooved barrel useful according to the present invention, and
FIG. 10 is a sectional plan view of an assembly of an extrusion apparatus comprising a barrel housing and a vaulted extrusion screw, shown in spaced relation for purposes of illustration and indicating the various functional sections of the apparatus.
Referring to FIG. 1 of the drawings, the compact portable plastic extrusion apparatus 10 thereof comprises a steel frame 11 having casters 12 for portability over a supporting surface. The frame 11 carries a drive motor 13 connected to a gearbox 14 by means of a 2:1 sheave coupling 15 and belt 16. Gearbox 14 revolves the extrusion screw, shown in FIG. 2, in the extrusion housing 18 to deliver molten plastic extrusion composition to a conventional die adaptor and extrusion die, neither of which is present on the apparatus of FIG. 1. Instead, FIG. 1 is outfitted as a pressure-measurement test apparatus with a downstream valve 19 which is supported for adjustable pressure movement to seal the exit of the extrusion barrel 17 by means of an air cylinder 20. The feed section of the housing 18 carries a vertical clear resin hopper 22 over a throat 21 which opens into the feed section 23 of the housing 18.
The apparatus 10 of FIG. 1, minus the valve 19 and air cylinder 20 is completely operative for the efficient extrusion of dry plastic compositions, such as pellets, introduced through hopper 22, upon attachment of a conventional extrusion screw, die adaptor and extrusion die to the exit end of the extrusion barrel 17 in conventional manner. However, the apparatus of FIG. 1 can be modified to adapt it to other process conditions, such as for example, use of a strand die, water bath, pelletizer for recycling of extrusion scrap. etc.
The apparatus according to FIG. 1 comprises a 41/2 inch Hartig extruder with a 2.33 length/diameter barrel ratio, i.e., a diameter -d, between opposed flat surfaces, of 41/2 inches and a barrel length -l, from the exit of the feed section 23 to the downstream end 24, of 101/2 inches as shown in FIG. 2. The length of the barrel 17 preferably is from about 6 to 18 inches and the diameter of the barrel 17 preferably is from 3 to 6 inches in the area of the barrel extending from the exit of the feed section 23 to the entrance of the compression section. Also, within said barrel area, the barrel 17 and the extrusion screw 29 preferably have a length-to-diameter ratio of up to about 3:1. The feed hopper 22 is formed from clear Lexan sheet for strength and clarity to view the feeding progress of the extrusion pellets. The motor 13 is a 150 h.p., 2000 rpm electric motor available from General Electric Company and the gearbox is a Hartig 17.1:1 ratio gearbox.
As illustrated by FIG. 2, the suitable apparatus includes a tubular barrel insert 25 having a smooth keyed exterior surface and an inner surface which has a somewhat oval cross-section surface portion 26 in the upstream solids conveying section of the barrel and blending into a conventional circular cross-section portion 27 extending downstream from the point where the screw flights vanish.
As illustrated by FIG. 3, the inner oval surface 26 of barrel insert 25 provides two spaced axial recesses or loops 28 which anchor the solid extrusion composition against rotation therewithin to form, in effect, a solid "nut" or bed portion of composition which moves axially as a solid unit along the rotating screw. FIG. 3 also illustrates the circular portion 27 of the insert into which the oval portion and its recesses 28 gradually blend just beyond the solids conveying section, as illustrated more clearly by FIG. 10.
Returning to FIG. 2, the apparatus thereof also includes a unique vaulted extrusion screw 29 having an overall length of 20 inches, a tapered drive end and a 1 inch central core 30, shown in FIGS. 3, 5 and 7, for cooling purposes. The screw 29 of FIG. 2 has a single thread flight 31 having a pitch of 1.5 inches, forming therebetween a continuous vaulted channel 32 having a maximum depth, in the feed section 23, of about 1/2 inch. In the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3, the diameter d of barrel sections 26 and 27 is about 41/2 inches and the maximum diameter of the screw 29, between the crests of threads is about 4.470 inches to provide rotational clearance within the barrel insert.
FIGS. 4 to 7 illustrate other screw configurations which can be substituted for the screw 29 of FIG. 2 and have dimensions similar thereto. The screws 33 of FIGS. 4 and 5 and 36 of FIGS. 6 and 7 are single flight standard and vaulted channel screws, respectively, each having thread widths of 3/8 inch, and pitches of 4.5 inches. They also differ in that the flight 34 of screw 33 provides a continuous standard channel 35 about 0.70 inch in maximum depth while the flight of screw 36 provides a continuous vaulted channel 39 about 0.625 inch in maximum depth. The standard screw of FIGS. 4 and 5 is illustrated for comparative testing purposes.
Vaulted screws, particularly those having uniform channels such as screw 36 and channel 39 of FIGS. 6 and 7, provide less contact area with the extrusion composition than do standard channel screws and recesses, such as screw 33 and channel 35 of FIGS. 4 and 5, and therefore produce less drag or resistance to screw rotation.
FIGS. 8 and 9 are cross-sectional views of different grooved barrels in the area of the feeder section of the extruder, i.e., taken along the line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
The barrel 40 of FIG. 8 has a plurality of small axial grooves 41 extending radially-outwardly from the segmented cylindrical inner surface 42 thereof, which grooves 41 become packed with the solid extrusion composition to prevent rotation thereof within the barrel 40 while permitting axial movement of the composition along the screw.
The barrel 44 of FIG. 9 has a hexagonal inner surface providing six axial grooves 46 between flat surfaces 45. The diametric distance between opposed flat surfaces equals the diameter of the barrel 44 which becomes uniform at the exit of the compression section as the grooves gradually shallow in the compression section and the hexagonal cross-section becomes circular at area 52 shown in FIG. 10.
In order to measure the dead head pressure and progressive head pressure of the novel apparatus of the present invention and to compare these values with an identical control apparatus having a standard extrusion screw, the test apparatus 10 of FIG. 1 was assembled and modified in the following manner. The extrusion housing 18 was initially provided with an extrusion barrel in the form of an insert similar to 25 of FIG. 2 but having a convention cylindrical inner surface which is uniformly round or circular in cross-section, similar to surface 27 of FIG. 3 but extending along the entire length thereof including the feeder section, but not obstructing the throat. This is referred to as barrel 1 in the following Table.
In sequence, the test apparatus 10 of FIG. 1, containing barrel 1, was outfitted with the standard extrusion screw of FIG. 4 and with the vaulted extrusion screw of FIG. 6, referred to as screws A and B in the following Table.
A pressure, measurement air valve assembly comprising a 6" air cylinder 20 having a valve plate 19 attached to the piston end thereof was secured to the frame 11 for closing engagement with the exit end 24 of the smooth bore barrel. The air valve assembly is designed to measure dead head pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI), i.e., the maximum restraining pressure, exerted by the valve 19 on the downstream end of the barrel, that the extrusion composition can pump against to open the valve from closed position and continue to pump against to extrude the composition. The air valve assembly is also designed to measure progressive head pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI), i.e., the pressure exerted by the valve 19, in slowly closing from open position until it cuts off the flow of extrusion material from the end of the barrel after the extrusion apparatus has been in normal operation.
In each case, the extrusion apparatus is continuously fed in identical manner with an identical dry extrusion composition comprising pellets of polystyene resin.
In addition, the output of each apparatus was determined under both unrestricted and restricted conditions by timing a six inch drop of the resin level in the clear supply hopper 22. Unrestricted output weight was extrapolated in terms of pounds per hour (PPH) from the weight of material extruded in the time period with the valve 19 in fully open position.
Restricted output weight was extrapolated in terms of pounds per hour (PPH) from the weight of the material extruded in the time period with the valve urged from open towards closed position under a pressure equal to the dead head pressure, which is less than the progressive head pressure and therefore permits the release of extrusion material from the barrel.

To demonstrate the substantial, unexpected advantages of the present invention, resulting from the use of the rotation-restraining barrel sections of the present invention, particularly the hexagonal cross-section barrel of FIG. 9 in combination with vaulted extrusion screws such as screw 36 of FIG. 6, the test apparatus of FIG. 1 was remodified to replace the round cross-section barrel insert 1 with the oval barrel insert 25 of FIGS. 2 and 3, as barrel 2, and with the hexagonal barrel insert 44 of FIG. 9, as barrel 3, and the tests of Table 1 were repeated in identical manner. Table 2 gives the corresponding values obtained with barrel insert 25 of FIGS. 2 and 3 and barrel insert 44 of FIG. 9, referred to as barrels 2 and 3 in Table 2, in association with the same screws A and B used in Table 1.
TABLE 2______________________________________ Progressive Dead Open RestrictedBarrel Screw (PSI) (PSI) (PPH) (PPH)______________________________________2 A 1200 410 4111 24002 B 4450 427 2036 18613 A 3204 445 3732 33413 B 4450 3916 2327 2327______________________________________
A comparison of the results illustrated by Tables 1 and 2 demonstrates that the use of the present irregular rotation-resisting grooved barrel in combination with vaulted extrusion screws results in dramatic and unexpected increases in the progressive head pressure, dead head pressure and output, both unrestricted and restricted, as compared to the results obtained when a standard smooth barrel is used in association with the same vaulted extrusion screws, or when the same grooved extrusion barrels are used with standard extrusion screws.
An explanation for these results appears to be the cooperation between the grooved barrel and the vaulted screw channel which causes the solid particulate extrusion composition to pack within and fill the barrel, including the helical screw channel and the axial barrel grooves in the solids conveying section of the barrel, the heat generaled within the solids conveying section being sufficient to cause the compressed particles to adhere to each other as a solid mass which cannot rotate but can move axially along the screw to plug the barrel at the entrance to the compression zone of the barrel. The axial grooves in the barrel and the vaulted channel of the screw progressively diminish in the compression zone until they vanish at the downstream end of the compression zone, as illustrated by FIG. 10. The present structure provides a very uniform melt, unaffected by cycling heaters, and has very little effect on the melt index of the composition since the composition, such as polystyrene is at a maximum temperature of 320� F. or less for only about six seconds time, i.e., downstream of the solids conveying section shown in FIG. 10.
It will be seen from a comparison of Tables 1 and 2 that the smooth standard barrel 1 of Table 1 lost 865 pph or 38.19% of its unrestricted output with standard screw A and 1176 pph or 55% of its unrestricted output with vaulted screw B, when it was restricted to its dead head pressure. The oval barrel 2 of Table 2 lost 1711 pph or 41.6% of its unrestricted output with the same standard screw A, but only 175 pph or 8.6% of its unrestricted output with the same vaulted screw B. Also, the hexagonal barrel 3 lost 391 pph or 10.5% of its unrestricted output with the same standard screw A but had absolutely no loss of its unrestricted output with the same vaulted screw B as used in Table 1. Barrel 3 has a minimum head pressure potential 64 times that of barrel 1 and the average progressive cut off head pressure for the smooth bore barrel 1 was found to be 208 psi whereas the average progressive cut off head pressure for the hexagonal barrel 3 was extrapolated to be 13,350 psi when used with the vaulted screw. This is the present limit of the test apparatus.
FIG. 10 is an assembly of an extrusion apparatus according to the present invention showing the barrel section 47 and the extrusion screw 48 in partial cross-section and in spaced alignment for purposes of illustration.
The various functional sections of the barrel section 47 and the screw 48 are identified in FIG. 10 as the feed or throat section, the solids conveying or solids bed, the compression or transition section, journal section and mixing zone.
The barrel section 47 comprises a central axial bore 49, the upstream half of which receives therein a keyed, removable polygonal barrel insert 50 similar to insert 44 of FIG. 9 and having a plurality of axial grooves 51 which extend from the upstream end of the insert and disappear at the downstream end of the compression section to form cylindrical barrel area 52 beyond the compression or transition section of the apparatus, where the solid or semi-solid extrusion composition becomes liquified.
The extrusion screw 48 of FIG. 10 is similar to screw 29 of FIG. 2 in that it has a single thread flight 53 having a pitch of 1.5 inches, a continuous vaulted recess 54 having a maximum depth of about 0.5 inch in the feed section which progresses through the solids conveying section until it disappears at the end of the compression section to form a cylindrical bearing potion 55 in the journal section of the apparatus, corresponding to the area 52 where the barrel insert also becomes cylindrical due to the disappearance of the axial grooves 51.
The bearing portion 55 of the extrusion screw 48 extends into the downstream cylindrical barrel portion 56, spaced therefrom by a narrow annulus, i.e., about 0.020 inch, through which the liquified extrusion composition is forced to a mixing zone immediately in advance of the discharge end of the apparatus. Barrel portion 56 can include an injection port 57 for the introduction of a conventional blowing agent to the liquified extrusion composition in the mixing section in cases where expandable or foamed products are being produced.
The extrusion screw 48 of FIG. 10 includes a novel mixing element 58 comprising a non-rotating inner mixing sleeve 59 supported by the anchor 63 secured to the end of the barrel element 47, and an outer mixing sleeve 60 supported for rotation with the journal end of the screw shaft 48. Liquified extrusion composition is forced through the bearing annulus 55 over the outer mixing sleeve 60, down into the cylindrical space between sleeves 60 and 59, upstream around and under the inner sleeve 59 and downstream through cylindrical space 62 between the inner sleeve 59 and the center shaft 63, and extending out between the shaft 64 and the anchor 63. The rotation of the outer mixing sleeve 60 and the central shaft 64 with the extrusion screw 48 and the fixed position of the inner mixing sleeve 59 produces a strong shearing action on the extrusion composition which results in the formation of a more homogeneous mixture of the blowing agent and the remainder of the extrusion composition. The end of the barrel housing is coupled to a convention extrusion die adaptor.
In operation, solid extrusion composition, such as pellets, is introduced to the barrel housing 47 through feed port 68 and enters the feed or throat section to fill the deep vaulted channel 54 of the screw 48. The vaulted channel provides axial compression of the pellets out against the polygonal inner surface of the barrel insert 50 to fill the axial grooves 51 and form a solid nut or pellet composition which moves axially along the screw with the rotation thereof. The channel in the solids conveying section increases the compression of the nut, and rotation of the nut is prevented by the hexagonal cross-section of the insert 50. The flat axial inner walls of the barrel insert 50 extend somewhat tangentially to the screw surface to provide a shear-resistant restraint via rotational compression.
In the apparatus of FIG. 10, the solid move axially from the feed section, which is about five inches in length in the embodiment of FIG. 10, into the solids conveying section, which is about eleven inches in length. High compression of the composition begins near the downstream end of the solids conveying section and is completed in the compression or transition section, which is about three inches in length. Adiabatic conditions cause the solid composition to liquefy, with little or no external heating required, as the screw channel 54 and the barrel grooves 51 surface and disappear at areas 52 and 55 of the barrel insert 50 and the screw 48, respectively, at the end of the compression section. The progressive head pressure is exerted in the downstream direction since dissipation in the upstream direction is prevented by the solid extrusion composition which fills and plugs the solids conveying section.
The liquid extrusion composition is forced through the narrow annulus between surfaces 52 and 55 and surfaces 56 and 55 and enters the mixing zone into which gaseous or liquid blowing agents may be introduced through injection port 57.
The mixing element 58, if present, shears and kneads the composition to form a homogeneous liquid. In the embodiment illustrated, the mixing element 58 is about eleven inches in length but causes the liquid to pass this length three times for a total of about thirty inches before it enters the extrusion die adaptor. This provides excellent mixing and shearing of the composition with a minimal increase of the length of the screw and barrel housing.
While the preferred extrusion barrels of the present invention are polygonal in cross-section it will be clear to those skilled in the art, in the light of the present disclosure, that the axially-flat surfaces of a polygonal barrel can be replaced with slightly curved surfaces so long as such surfaces extend substantially tangential to the extrusion screw flight. For example a trilobular or bilobular extrusion barrel, having a cross-section similar to that of a Wankel-type engine will also provide the desired rotational restraint and compression plus the necessary shear resistance.
It is to be understood that the above described embodiments of the invention are illustrative only and that modifications throughout may occur to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, this invention is not to be regarded as limited to the embodiments disclosed herein, but is to be limited as defined by the appended claims.

It seems like it takes no time for the browned grass from winter to turn into the green grass of spring. Even quicker to take root are the weeds. You look out one day and everything is nice and trimmed. Then, it seems the next day you have an overgrown jungle. It is simply amazing just how fast weeds can grow. If you don't get a handle on them, they will take over. That is why it is so important to be prepared with the proper spraying gear so you can get those weeds killed.
What you need really depends on how much spraying you need to do. If you just need to spray around your flower beds, then a small, hand pumped style sprayer should work fine. However, if you need to cover a much larger area, you will want to give your arm a break and go for something that is less labor intensive, like a pump style sprayer that allows you to pump it up only every few minutes to get a continuous spray. If you need a larger sprayer, then you will need a tank to hold the weed killer. With larger equipment, you will also need to buy nozzles and sprayer wands.
Luckily, we can help you out with all your spraying needs. It doesn't really matter if you are tackling weeds or bugs or something else. Our products in this category are made to make the job easy and hassle free.

Today's Examination Of Yesterday
Via Mark J. Grant, author of Out of the Box,
"Until we can re-establish a condition under which the earnings of the people can be kept by the people, we are bound to suffer a very severe and distinct curtailment of our liberty."
-Calvin Coolidge
I left yesterday for the bobbling heads. Those small dolls resident in the back of car windows that nod up and down as you go over every bump in the road. I left yesterday for the media spinners. Those that are paid to turn diamonds into lumps of clay and then back again by the glittering facets of their arguments. I left yesterday to the artists of verbiage that weave arguments of their own accomplishments much as the artists of Three Card Monty hide the truth behind their shells. I left all of that for yesterday so that today we could examine the reality of that which we have been presented.
Yesterday we had a nice rally in the equity markets. No surprise; the sigh of relief was palpable that Congress did something, anything to address our fall over the cliff. I would not get too excited however. We raised taxes, we penalized those succeeding and we did it in a meaningful manner. We did not cut the national debt as sung by the chorus across the airwaves. In fact, according to the Congressional Budget Office we decreased revenues by $3.6 trillion over ten years. We did not protect the middle class, but because of the expiration of the payroll tax decrease, Federal taxes will rise for 77% of all working Americans. Thus we rewarded non-working Americans at the expense of those with jobs. For those that are truly succeeding, making over one million dollars, we increased their taxes by $171,300.00 on average which becomes a disincentive to progress or a very good reason to explore tax avoidance and gimmickry. We still face "sequestration" in March and the "debt ceiling" in February and nothing was done to curtail our social and entitlement programs that cannot be afforded without even more debt and mountains of it regardless of all of the new taxes. The game was the continuation of postponement and avoidance and reckless governance of the nation.
The spin is that the increase in taxes on capital gains and dividends will rise from 15% to 20% (a 25% increase) but this is not accurate. Under the Affordable Care Act, which is in effect today, there is another 3.8% tax which raises taxes on capital gains and dividends to 23.8% which is a 37% total raise. So much for the value of appreciation and the value of dividends if you start out yards behind the eightball. Then you can feel very proud of our President and our Congress because they feathered the nests of so many peacocks in the process. GE's tax bill was lowered along with several other companies with the $111.2 billion extension for off-shore financing. How about $78 million for Nascar, $248 million for films and TV programs in additional depreciation and $222 million in a special exemption for imported rum.
Unintended consequences
One of the unintended consequences of all of these new taxes may be a population shift in the United States. Many people in higher income states like CA, NJ, NY or CT will be paying well over 50% now between Federal taxes (39.6%), the rise in Social Security taxes (2.00%), the new Obamacare tax (3.8%) and the increase in Medicare taxes (1.45% to 2.35%). Add to this state income taxes and many people in those states will be paying 50-60% of their income in combined taxes. These are levels of taxes where not only disincentives come into play and where tax chicanery is multiplied but where people and possibly corporations will change locations based upon what the various governments take from their pocketbook.
The Best Bet
There was lots of talking about it and speculation was rampant but Municipal bonds were left alone in the new legislation. The major indices for Munis had declined around 3.5% prior to the new laws but yesterday, when long Treasuries were off 1.75 points, these same indices were up around one point. I have long suggested buying Municipals as many credits are cheaper than corresponding corporates on an apples to apples yield basis given the ratings. Forget the tax consequences; the absolute yields on many Municipal bonds are better than equally rated Corporate or Mortgage backed bonds. Municipals now represent the last large pocket, the last asset class of investments, where tax exemption may be found and this is now far more important than it was on he final day of the last year. I suggest getting in now because Muni's will compress and keep compressing against Treasuries and there is very good value now to be found here.

Who wants a damn job anyway? http://www.whywork.org/
Ivy I do not care who works and does not as long as I do not have to support them. Thats the problem now the media glorifies being unemployed as the new norm and how to have a great lifestyle leeching off the productive. What a fucked up world we are living in these days.
We will all be employed by the government at some point in time. After all the collective voted for this way of life. They must first totally disarm the populice for this to happen. Once done NWA is complete.
The real parasites are the self-styled "producers" who imagine they've led "progress."
"Our system of private property in land FORCES landless men to work for others; to work in factories, stores, and offices, whether they like it or not. Wherever access to land is free, men work only to provide what they actually need or desire. Wherever the white man has come in contact with savage cultures this fact becomes apparent. There is for savages in their native state no such sharp distinction between "work" and "not working" as clocks and factory whistles have accustomed the white man to accept. They cannot be made to work regularly at repetitive tasks in which they have no direct interest except by some sort of duress. Disestablishment from land, like slavery, is a form of DURESS. The white man, where slavery cannot be practiced, has found that he must first disestablish the savages from their land before he can force them to work steadily for him. Once they are disestablished, they are in effect starved into working for him and into working as he directs."
~Dr. Ralph Borsodi
This Ugly Civilization (1929, Simon and Schuster)
The parasites include Ayn Rand, who brazenly stated she had THE RIGHT TO TAKE.
"[The Native Americans] didn't have any rights to the land ... Any white person who brought the element of civilization had the right to take over this continent."
~Ayn Rand
US Military Academy at West Point, March 6, 1974
The savages didn't have any land...they just occupied it from time to time. Made no real use of it.
Unlike you, I like electricity and roads.
Civilizations yield to other civilizations; it is a part of the cycle of life. Nobody owns the land, they only own what they can defend against someone else.
Fuck you and all you who are inimical to nature and evolution.
Civilization = city-Statism.
If you're in love with Statist Society, so be it; civilization is definitely here to stay.
Yet the freedom of pre-civilized society is gone forever too; paleolithic society was one where people were, as these two references both state:
"autonomous and sovereign"
~Elman R. Service (1975), Origins of the State and Civilization: The Process of Cultural Evolution. New York: Norton. [Online excerpt here: NON-STATE AND STATE SOCIETIES]
"autonomous and sovereign"
~Christopher Boehm (1999), Hierarchy in the Forest: The Evolution of Egalitarian Behavior. Harvard University Press.
Enjoy your 'lectric, city-statist (civilizationist,) but it's a poor substitute for an autonomous and sovereign lifeway.
Just 'trade'? Hey whatcha got to trade there fella...some old bubblegum wrappers you say? OK I'll gives ya 2 wooden nickels fer 'em.
We are being ruled by scum that think* its their divine right to rule over us. Occult shit show.
They dont fuckin give a shit about the good of the people.
'They' follow sacred geometrey, numerology and astrology. Once you recognize the signs that they follow - it sticks out like a sore thumb...
What would you expect? Ever looked at how Washington D.C. is plotted? Or some of the names we have for cities around D.C. (Hint: Alexandria is one of them.)
Talk to your fellow citizens. Ask them about the sun and the heat. They'll love both of them, I'll bet you.
All of the co-workers with whom I've ever worked have. They are sun worshipers.
I tell them we're just like the ancient Egyptians in that sense, and marvel in the hazy glaze that glosses over their eyes.
Blotto - why wouldn't they think it was their divine right?
Reelection rates are normally above 95%. Having a certain family name nearly guarantees election no matter how dim you might be (I am looking at you Joe Kennedy the Third). There are no consequences for enacting stupid policy.
Given the above, why would you think anything other than that you were ordained to such luck?
I think it goes deeper than that my fellow ZedHeds...
We can't stop half-way down the lineage of just a few hundred years.
You need to go/get right to the beginning of the Mother of All Family Trees to discover who is ruling the show and why. And yes, thats easier said then done.
ALL the presidents have ties to the European blood lineages of importance.
Presidents are born, not elected.
Just with that alone - voting is futile.
Divine right, you say?
What about your Divine Right to Property?
"...an account of those grants God made of the world to Adam, and to Noah, and his sons, it is very clear, that God, as king David says, Psal. cxv. 16. has given the earth to the children of men..."

It would be interesting to know how many of the $400K+ crowd are in finance, banking, or real estate. I'd bet 80% or more. Too bad we can't tax the earnings from fraud, I mean finance, at a different rate.
Well BLOTTO technically anyone who celebrates Christmas and Easter and all the rest of the Christian 'holy-days' are sun worshippers as well. Thats all 'Christmas' is the winter sun solstice.
Well the majority of those people - have their hearts in the right place...they just dont realize whats going on.
Brilliant on 'their' part SD-1... have the masses celebrate occult/pagan festivals by giving it a 'good' story.
The biggest central figure to the kids on Christmas is not J.C., but rather Satan Santa Claus.
Yes, we are being governed by time and space on their part. The calendar rules us.
Whats next on the 'calendar'? Oh, thats right 'Ground Hog Day' or as the occultists know it as - Imbolc.
Imbolc was believed to be the day the Cailleach — the hag of Gaelic tradition — gathers her firewood for the rest of the winter. Legend has it that if she wishes to make the winter last a good while longer, she will make sure the weather on Imbolc is bright and sunny, so she can gather plenty of firewood. Therefore, people would be relieved if Imbolc is a day of foul weather, as it means the Cailleach is asleep and winter is almost over.
Blotts: That sounds exactly like GroundHog day and when the furry bastard comes out to see or not see his shadow.
Just give everything a cute name, and/or add a furry critter/fat pipe smoking man that loves kids - but has none of his own...and its just a fuckin circus on this planet. Lets go sit on his lap and take pictures and in 25 years from now wonder what the fuck is going on?
Yule = Christmas
Imbolc = GroundHog day
Ostara = yup, Easter
Beltane Day = May Day (popular holiday in Europe)
Midsummer = Summer Eq
Samhain = Halloween
Yet the masses sleep - no questions being asked. Society demands you participate or look nuts to the masses if you dont.
Oh shit!
The Dow is in the red! Please, quick - somebody, do SOMETHING!
For the love of the children and God and Amerikkka!

A rise from 15% to 20% is a 33% increase. A rise from 15% to 23.8% is a 41.3% increase.

when you add in ALL taxes(real estate taxes,10% on anything you buy,utility taxes etc)-it is MUCH higher. also -you have to be crazy to pile into the muni bond market

no thanks

I hope ZH can get Schiff radio show audio show somehow. He is stating that the US took Moody's to the woodshed and "got their mind right". No downgrades coming.
'No downgrades' so thats actually BAD newz for stawks since all prior downgrades had a net result of about +10% for equities.
A few starting points:
1. Note in all meetings and discussions involving business or finanacial planning that corruption is taking at least 1% off of GDP growth, and ensuring zero real returns on all major asset classes for the forseeable future. Back up with good articles and citations such as Bill Gross (PIMCO), etc.
2. Boycott the crap out of all DC/NY/TBTF institutions you can. That means using local banks and credit unions. Try to get your local churches, small businesses, friends and town government to do the same.
3. Tell the truth. Simply and at times with humor.
4. Voting and politics are vile these days but it's worth trying to keep them viable. Just ask about corruption a lot.
5. If anyone cares, we should also close the NY offices of the Treasury and Federal Reserve, ban all contact between TARP recipients and any government/elected official, impose a lifetime ban on any TARP recipient employees or paid consultants/lawyers working in government, raid all HQ offices of TARP recipients, "temporarily" jail their executives, and mirror their hard drives on the Internet for public examination. But, no one cares about actual policy.
Dam good starting points Jim.
Especially #5,
Why can't we look at our congress persons company laptop or computer or their Emails, My boss has the right to look at my Emails and files that are on company supplied laptops and computers.
5) If anyone cares, we should also close the NY offices of the Treasury and Federal Reserve, ban all contact between TARP recipients and any government/elected official, impose a lifetime ban on any TARP recipient employees or paid consultants/lawyers working in government, raid all HQ offices of TARP recipients, "temporarily" jail their executives, and mirror their hard drives on the Internet for public examination. But, no one cares about actual policy.
The economy doesn't get fixed until THIS especially gets done.
Plus infinity on this post, Jim!
The middle class went over the cliff with a big silent scream.
Oh I don't think so. Lemmings don't scream. If we could see them, they'd be smiling and wondering what Dancing with the Stars* has in store this season.

Well, my tie is a bit short.
Seeing my first Tweets that Obama will attend the funeral, weep openly and thank Hugo (he calls him "H-man" because they're buds) for all his support, guidance, friendship and sober counsel over the years. He will call him a "great man" and a "true friend to the oppressed and down-trodden" as well as an "inspiration to world leaders everywhere" before pledging our nations full support to the people of Venezuela and jetting back home to face the praise and admiration of the main stream media for such a bold step forward in foreign policy.
that will teach him .... asking for delivery of his gold

- The Artist
Georgia O'Keeffe (1887 – 1986) was a groundbreaking Modernist painter who digressed from realism to express her own visionary style. Raised in rural Wisconsin, which gave her a love of nature and formed the basis for her revolutionary artwork, O'Keefe is best known for flower paintings which made up a significant percentage of her work. Expressing what she felt, rather than what she had been taught, O'Keeffe painted enormous close-ups of flowers, transforming their contours into fascinating abstractions, and highlighting their importance in a manner that commanded attention. One of the most influential and innovative artists of the 20th century, O'Keeffe was the first woman to have her own exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Construction on the world's largest optical telescope starts off with a bang, as workers demolish a hilltop in Chile's Atacama desert.
The European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) telescope, being built by the European Southern Observatory, aims to give astronomers new insight into the origins of the universe and help search for potentially habitable planets elsewhere in the galaxy.
"(Currently) we have no proof of the existence of an Earth-like planet at the same distance from the sun in our galactic neighbourhood," said astronomer Fernando Comeron, ESO's representative in Chile. "That's not because they don't exist but because we don't yet have the tools to detect them. "With the E-ELT, we can."
Construction will take an estimated 10 years, and the telescope will be put into service two years later.
The first step, costing an estimated US$1.4bil (RM4.5bil), involves razing around 5,000 cubic metres of rock off the top of Mount Armazones, which began on June 19. The newly flat surface will support the foundation of the telescope, with an "eye" — a main mirror — of 39m in diameter.
The new telescope's light-collecting surface "will be 10 to 15 times greater than those of existing telescopes," Comeron said. Thanks to its dry and cold climate, and the lack of light pollution from cities in the remote region, Chile's Atacama desert provides an ideal location for astronomical research.
The ESO, a collaboration involving 15 mainly European countries, operates a number of high-powered telescopes in Chile, including the Very Large Telescope array and the Atacama Large Millimetre/Submillimetre Array, or ALMA. — AFP/RelaxNews

Caruso St John Architects
18th April 2016. Caruso St John have won a limited competition to design a new organ loft in the centre of Canterbury Cathedral. The new loft will provide an elevated place for the organist and their console, within close sight of the choirmaster. It will be located in the North Quire, closer to the choir than the current organ loft. The new works are part of Canterbury Cathedral's wider plans for improvements to the sound and performance of the Quire Organ, which are to be carried out over the next few years.

- Gary Barnett says next CU Buffs coach faces major rebuilding project
During a coaching search, what's more difficult for an athletic director? Courting a top coach? Or waiting to see if the candidate says yes?
For Colorado officials, waiting was definitely the hard part on Tuesday.
On a day when CU was hoping to welcome a new football coach, its top target, Cincinnati's Butch Jones, stayed quiet.
Will Jones join the Buffs? Or will he choose to stay in Cincinnati? Or, pursue another opening?
The wait isn't easy on CU players either. Some are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their third head coach in four years.
"You know things will be different with a new coach," said CU linebacker-safety Paul Vigo, a fourth-year junior. "So you want to know. We're all just waiting. That's all we can do."
Jones, 50-27 in six seasons as a head coach, was offered a five-year contract worth at least $13.5 million Monday during almost nine hours of meetings in Boulder with Colorado officials, including Bohn, CU president Bruce Benson and school chancellor Phil DiStefano.
Jones was shielded from the media during his visit to the CU campus.
But Bohn told reporters afterward that it had been "a productive day" and a source familiar with the situation said the meeting "went terrific."
Along with his wife, Barbara, Jones returned to Cincinnati late Monday night via a chartered jet. That was expected. Jones' agent, Trace Armstrong, had told The Denver Post's Woody Paige on Sunday that he expected Jones to return Monday night and make a decision on Tuesday, after he had a chance to talk over the job offer with family members and Cincinnati officials.
The first curveball in CU's pursuit came as the day grew long, and Jones stayed quiet — this on a day of big-name coaching hires around the country, the most stunning coming when Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema, who led the Badgers to three consecutive Rose Bowls, left to take the Arkansas job. Whether that opening had Jones delaying his decision was not known. Bohn did not return calls and Jones did not talk to any media.
Colorado officials no doubt hoped Jones would use Tuesday morning to meet with his team and announce that he was taking the Colorado job.
Instead, word circulated early that Jones planned to participate in a previously scheduled Belk Bowl news conference on the Cincinnati campus. Prior to that news conference, Cincinnati media relations officials told reporters that Jones would not address questions pertaining to his job status. After two such questions, Jones threatened to not talk anymore if he got more questions about whether he was staying at Cincinnati.
Jones said during the news conference that he expected to coach in the Dec. 27 Belk Bowl but danced around a question about whether that meant he would remain with the Bearcats.
"I'm still the football coach here. That speaks volumes," Jones said, further muddying the situation.
As the hours passed, some Colorado fans became less and less confident that Jones would join the Buffs family. Many in the Cincinnati media took it as a signal he would be staying, or at least not going to Colorado.
Does Bohn have a Plan B in place in case Jones rejects CU? If Bohn didn't have a contingency plan before Tuesday, he may need to get one ready starting Wednesday.

LGBT community could be recognized at the 2016 Oscar Awards
It is that time of year again. The Oscars! It the time when we watch celebrities get dressed up in penguin suits, drink, and laugh with (and at) them for the betterment of an establishment's reputation at their choices of the best films of the year. Historically, LGBT films that have been lucky enough to win or be recognized by the awards have contained characters that have not survived till the final reel
This is, perhaps for reasons unknown other than the Academy appreciates when LGBT characters kick the bucket, seeing it as perhaps maintaining its identity in the face of heteronormative adversity. They never change, but die wholly who they are, unchanged by society's demands.
Though the issue has been addressed by many, LGBT films, including this year's snubbed Carol, will be acknowledged for its historical significance in bringing the queer voice to a heretronormative art form.
That aside, this Oscar season has proven to still contain one of the most diverse since 1983's awards show. There are no "lesser of two evils" but rather the best of the best.
Here are HomoCulture's choices for this year's Oscar season. Comment below if you agree/disagree!
The Revenant has been receiving a lot of buzz, earning a spot as box-office frontrunner in the U.S. and even a Golden Globe for its star, Leonardo DiCaprio. It would come as no surprise it will win Best Actor and Best Cinematography. Its chilly widescreen shots rivaled its other Western epic, Tarentino's, The Hateful Eight, in displaying how icy human nature can be. DiCaprio shines in a film that is full of darkness, nearly wordless the entire film and ennacting brutal acts of violence against co-star Tom Hardy, who should receive a deserved Best Supporting Actor statue.
The Best Actress category contains Hollywood's hardest working stars, new and old, but the statue will more than likely go to Brie Larson for her heartbreaking portrayal as an abused mother raising her son in, Room, a film adaptation of Canadian author Emma Donoghue. Classic Hollywood veteran Charlotte Rampling is equally deserving for her extraordinarily subtle work in 45 Years, which was snubbed for Best Screenplay. In the Supporting Actress field, the most defined portrayal was Alicia Vikander for The Danish Girl.
Of the screeplays this year, each was written with such a distinct style & voice, they are all revolutionary in their own right. For Adapted Screenplay, Nick Hornby's Brooklyn sits with Howard's End and Women In Love, in the pantheon of Hollywood adaptations that surpass its source material. Hornby's script is full of old Hollywood traditions but never comes across as campy or melodramatic. His delicate treatment of its characters and sheer love for the time and place gives Brooklyn a heart most films today have searched for, but do not find. The same can be said about Inside Out, which deserves the Best Original Screenplay. Heart is at the center of all films nominated, but Brooklyn and Inside Out find it early on and present us with that warm fuzzy feeling we love.
Best Picture is a tough one but Spotlight has received acclaim for its all-around entertaining and heartbreaking account of the Boston Globe's mission to prove a cover-up of sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. The film is a deftly accurate look into the world of journalism (the film is based on the Globe's actual investigations which earned the paper a Pulitzer Prize) and the ethics behind seeking the truth. It is a film that will be talked about for years to come and challenges even the most narrow minded of viewers to look at the world in a deep, realistic way.
Canada is highly represented in this year's Oscars including:
- Spotlight actress Rachel McAdams (best supporting actress).
- Documentary short filmmakers Adam Benzine (for Claude Lanzmann: Spectres of the Shoah) and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (for A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness).
- Toronto R&B singer-songwriter The Weeknd and his Canadian songwriting collaborators Stephan Moccio, Ahmad Balshe, Jason (Daheala) Quenneville share an original song nomination for Earned It from the film Fifty Shades of Grey.
- The team of Canadians who worked on The Revenant, such as visual effects artist Cameron Waldbauer, set decorator Hamish Purdy, sound technician Chris Duesterdiek (up for sound mixing), makeup and hair artist Robert Pandini.
- Sound technician Paul Massey (up for The Martian's sound mixing).
- Animated short nominee Richard Williams (shares in nomination for Prologue with Imogen Sutton).
Tune into the Oscars on February 28, 2016!
