This clunk sounds like a transmission problem
Dear Tom and Ray: My son owns a 2003 Silverado 1500 4-wheel-drive Regular Cab Chevy truck. We hear and feel a loud clunk from the rear of the vehicle when starting from a stop. If you concentrate and go very slowly, nothing will happen, but if you take off from a stop normally, you feel as if someone has hit you from behind. The Chevy dealership has lubed the splines and given us a bulletin from GM stating that this is "Driveline Lash" and is normal in all newer trucks. We are wondering if you have heard of driveline lash, and is it "standard" in all GM and other makes of trucks? We will never be able to sell this truck if the prospective buyers feel a clunk. My husband says that it probably needs a new rear end and that the dealer does not want to go through the expense. The truck currently has 33,756 miles.
Ray: Unfortunately, driveline lash has been something of a trademark of GM trucks for the past half-century or so. It results from excessive slop in the differential, between the ring and pinion gears.
Tom: You usually hear it go "clank" when you go from drive to reverse, or vice versa. The noise comes from those gears slamming against each other when the drive shaft changes direction. The sound is then transmitted to the front of the truck through the hollow tube of the drive shaft.
Ray: But what you've got doesn't sound like textbook driveline lash. Normally, you hear it once when you drop the transmission into gear; you don't normally get it again when you start up from a traffic light. So either you've got a particularly bad case of driveline lash (in which case it will get worse and start howling), or it's something else.
Tom: Most likely the "something else" is a transmission problem.
Ray: Try this: Tell the dealer you're interested in his driveline-lash theory, but you'd like to drive another, similar truck to compare the two. I'm sure he's got another '03 on his lot somewhere that you can drive. If it sounds the same, you might be out of luck. In which case, just be sure to save the repair order in which you complained about the symptoms and they dismissed it as driveline lash. That way, should it get worse or should the transmission fail completely, you have a record of having brought it to their attention while the truck was under warranty.
Tom: But if the other '03 Silverado you drive does not exhibit the same symptoms, then you have a legitimate case to make that they need to fix your driveline lash.
Ray: Actually, your best bet is to be persistent but polite. If, in the end, the dealer won't help you, ask for an appointment with the Chevy zone manager. A zone manager has more authority, and might be more sensitive to seeing your follow-up complaint in the newspaper a few months from now. Good luck.

On June 19, 2009,the M/V Roger Binsfeld departed from Hope Services Inc.'s Dulac, LA shipyard to join J.F. Brennan's tug fleet in La Crosse, WI. The new towboat was built ahead of schedule - a common practice for Hope Service's shipyard that is averaging delivery of six new hulls a year. The 72 ft x 30 ft push tug has a 10 ft depth and 29 ft eye height and is outfitted with two new Tier 2 type engines carrying a vessel rating of 2000 HP. The M/V Roger Binsfeld was built with extra reinforcement in its push knees and hull and will begin working for Brennan in St. Louis, MO, on a project building one of the nation's largest cement plants. Hope Services will deliver a second, identical vessel to J.F. Brennan on December 1, 2009.

Aubrey de Grey, Artificial Intelligence, Singularity, Longevity and the Holy Grail
2007-09-11 0:00
Compiled by Henrik Palmgren |
Interview with Aubrey de Grey at the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence
Aubrey de Grey - Defeating aging
Aubrey de Grey an interesting guy within the field of AI and biomedical
(the study of aging) to keep an eye on.
Aubrey de Grey
Aubrey David Nicholas Jasper de Grey, Ph.D., (born 20 April 1963 in London, England) is a biomedical gerontologist who lives in the city of Cambridge, UK. He is working to expedite the development of a
for human aging, a medical goal he refers to as engineered negligible senescence. To this end, he has identified what he concludes are the seven areas of the aging process that need to be addressed medically before this can be done. His main activities at present are as chairman and chief science officer of the
and editor-in-chief of the academic journal Rejuvenation Research.
Interesting to note here is that the foundation is named after
, a patriarch in the Bible said to have reached 969 years of age.
Incidently, as I mentioned in an article about
'Darth Venter' (J. Craig Venter) & The
Genomics X Prize
, the Methuselah Foundation as it's own contest/prize:
Methuselah Mouse Prize
or Mprize is a growing $4.5 million prize started in 2003 to accelerate research into slowing and reversing cellular aging and breakdown in humans. The Methuselah Foundation awards prizes to researchers who extend the lifespan of a mouse to unprecedented lengths.
Going back to de Grey
Aubrey de Grey was educated at Sussex House School, Harrow School and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Prior to his work in cellular and molecular biology, he studied computer science. In 1985, he received a B.A. in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge and joined
Research Ltd
as an AI/software engineer; in 1986, he co-founded
Man-Made Minions Ltd
to pursue the development of an automated formal program verifier. De Grey has never held a teaching position at Cambridge. Until 2006, he was in charge of software development at the Genetics Department for the FlyBase genetic database.
It is perhaps a somewhat far fetched idea to say that Sinclair Research Ltd is connected to the
Templar Sinclair's
and the search for the Holy Grail... but intriguingly over at the
Methuselah Foundation
website, they do use a pretty interesting website icon (favorite icon):
It seems to be quite a consistent theme that the search for the Holy Grail is about the search for Eternal life.
Take a look at the related links at the bottom of the page for much more.

Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence
Techies Ponder Computers Smarter Than Us
By Marcus Wohlsen |
At the center of a black hole there lies a point called a singularity where the laws of physics no longer make sense. In a similar way, according to futurists gathered Saturday for a weekend conference, information technology is hurtling toward a point where machines will become smarter than their makers. If that happens, it will alter what it means to be human in ways almost impossible to conceive, they say.
"The Singularity Summit: AI and the Future of Humanity" brought together hundreds of Silicon Valley techies and scientists to imagine a future of self-programming computers and brain implants that would allow humans to think at speeds nearing today's microprocessors.
Artificial intelligence researchers at the summit warned that now is the time to develop ethical guidelines for ensuring these advances help rather than harm.
"We and our world won't be us anymore," Rodney Brooks, a robotics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, told the audience. When it comes to computers, he said, "who is us and who is them is going to become a different sort of question."
Eliezer Yudkowsky, co-founder of the Palo Alto-based Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence, which organized the summit, researches on the development of so-called "friendly artificial intelligence." His greatest fear, he said, is that a brilliant inventor creates a self-improving but amoral artificial intelligence that turns hostile.
The first use of the term "singularity" to describe this kind of fundamental technological transformation is credited to Vernor Vinge, a California mathematician and science-fiction author.
High-tech entrepreneur Ray Kurzweil raised the profile of the singularity concept in his 2005 book "The Singularity is Near," in which he argues that the exponential pace of technological progress makes the emergence of smarter-than-human intelligence the future's only logical outcome.
Kurzweil, director of the Singularity Institute, is so confident in his predictions of the singularity that he has even set a date: 2029.
Most "singularists" feel they have strong evidence to support their claims, citing the dramatic advances in computing technology that have already occurred over the last 50 years.
In 1965, Intel co-founder Gordon Moore accurately predicted that the number of transistors on a chip should double about every two years. By comparison, according Singularity Institute researchers, the entire evolution of modern humans from primates has resulted in only a threefold increase in brain capacity.
With advances in biotechnology and information technology, they say, there's no scientific reason that human thinking couldn't be pushed to speeds up to a million times faster.
Some critics have mocked singularists for their obsession with "techno-salvation" and "techno-holocaust" - or what some wags have called the coming "nerdocalypse." Their predictions are grounded as much in science fiction as science, the detractors claim, and may never come to pass.
But advocates argue it would be irresponsible to ignore the possibility of dire outcomes.
"Technology is heading here. It will predictably get to the point of making artificial intelligence," Yudkowsky said. "The mere fact that you cannot predict exactly when it will happen down to the day is no excuse for closing your eyes and refusing to think about it."

Tobacco Products:
FDA Spending and New Product Review Time Frames
GAO-14-508T: Published: Apr 8, 2014. Publicly Released: Apr 8, 2014.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7114
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) spent (obligated) less than half of the $1.1 billion in tobacco user fees it collected from manufacturers and others from fiscal year 2009 through the end of fiscal year 2012; however, FDA's spending increased substantially in fiscal year 2013. Through December 31, 2013, FDA spent nearly 81 percent of the approximately $1.75 billion in fees collected by that time. According to officials in FDA's Center for Tobacco Products (CTP), the center established by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Tobacco Control Act) to implement the act's provisions, the time it took to award contracts contributed to the center spending less than it had planned to spend. In fiscal year 2013, FDA was able to carry out a number of activities that were originally planned for fiscal years 2011 and 2012, such as efforts to educate youth on the dangers of tobacco use. About 79 percent ($1.12 billion) of user fees spent as of December 31, 2013, was spent by three CTP offices: Office of Health Communication and Education, Office of Science, and Office of Compliance and Enforcement.
As of January 7, 2013, CTP had finished initial, but not final, review steps for most of about 3,800 submissions it had received for new tobacco products (those not on the market on February 15, 2007). Ninety-nine percent of the submissions received were made under the substantial equivalence (SE) pathway, through which CTP determines whether the product has the same characteristics as a predicate tobacco product (a product commercially marketed in the United States on February 15, 2007, or previously found to be substantially equivalent) or has different characteristics that do not raise different questions of public health. For most SE submissions received by January 7, 2013, CTP took more than a year and a half from the date a submission was received to the date CTP's initial review steps were completed; initial review steps precede a scientific review step during which CTP determines whether the product is substantially equivalent to a predicate product. CTP made its first decisions on SE submissions in late June 2013—about 3 years after FDA's receipt of the first SE submission—and as of December 31, 2013, had made final decisions for 30 of the 4,490 SE submissions the agency had received. CTP officials stated that CTP requests for additional information from manufacturers for submissions and having to hire and train new staff impacted the time it took to review submissions. GAO also found that CTP has not had performance measures that include time frames for making final decisions on SE submissions by which to assess its progress. Time frames would allow CTP to evaluate its efficiency and effectiveness and help it make appropriate adjustments.
Why GAO Did This Study
In 2009, the Tobacco Control Act granted FDA authority to regulate tobacco products such as cigarettes. The act authorizes FDA to assess and collect user fees from each tobacco manufacturer and importer for FDA activities related to tobacco product regulation. The act also requires that manufacturers submit information—for example, a statement of the tobacco product's ingredients—to be reviewed by FDA in order to market new tobacco products. FDA reviews the products using a public health standard, taking into account the risks and benefits of tobacco products on the population as a whole, including users and nonusers. The act represents the first time that FDA has had the authority to regulate tobacco products.
This testimony highlights and provides selected updates to key findings from our September 2013 report, entitled, New Tobacco Products: FDA Needs to Set Time Frames for Its Review Process ( GAO 13 723 ). This report examined (1) the extent to which FDA spent its tobacco user fee funds, and (2) the status of CTP's reviews of new tobacco product submissions. GAO reviewed FDA data on tobacco user fees collected by FDA and spent by all of CTP's offices. GAO also analyzed CTP data on product submissions, including whether specific steps in the review process had been completed.
What GAO Recommends
In its September 2013 report, GAO recommended FDA establish time frames for making decisions on submissions. FDA plans to identify time frames in spring 2014 and implement them by October 2014.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?2.02 lbs (0.92 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

I'm hoping you ladies can give me some of your thoughts on this issue I'm having at work... (nothing crazy! Just crazy scheduling on a project)
I'm a microbiologist, so sometimes that entails having weird hours to collect samples at long timepoints for projects. The project i am working on has time points up to 14hrs four days a week, two of which I am scheduled for. The 14 hour time point is at ~9pm. But the testing required for this time point takes until almost 2am to finish. I had my first long day yesterday, working from 10:30am to almost 2am. I am completely exhausted as I had to get up at 7:30 with my 2yo. Luckily I didn't have to go in to work today, but I have another long ass day tomorrow. And starting next week, I will be working 9-5 M/W and 2p-2a T/Th. On top of this, I have class monday nights from 6-10 and Wednesday nights from 6-7:30.
I am 14 weeks pregnant and I don't think I can physically stay up to 2am two nights a week without eventually harming myself or the baby. But I am the fastest person to process the samples and honestly I don't know who would be able to take over that last time point for me (there are already 3 of us assigned to the time point). I guess I just don't know what to do at this point. I don't want to let down the project, but I also know I need to make my health and the baby's health a priority.
What are your thoughts? My manager and a few friends at work know I'm pregnant, but most don't.

I have to agree with Shiva in her argument that water management has not been well enough managed so that local communities are given their full right to a safe, undisturbed, water source. In her zeal to blame commercial and financial institutions though I fear that she blinds herself to any reasons by the "opposition".

Dr. Vandana Shiva is an important voice in the struggle for sustainability and solutions to the most important crisis facing humanity in the early 21st century: that of the catastrophic damage we have wrought on our planet's ecology. She has contributed a great deal to this cause and I wish to make clear that I deeply respect her work and the woman herself.

Shiva's review of water conflicts provides an introductory framework for readers who have not previously considered water as a resource subject to dispute and violence. Michael Watts helped pilot conceptualizations of petroviolence in his work, Violent Environments. Similarly, Shiva tries to explain and set forward a framework for understanding water as a tool of control, as a resource subject to dispute, and as the underlying cause of numerous disputes for sovereignty and self-determination oft ...more

I thought this book to be a good start for someone interested in water issues. It's a quick read & very informative as far as what water practices are currently like in India in comparison to how they have been, and how those issues run parallel to methods and practices throughout the world and on an international level. My only complaint is that she seems often to start to go off on an explanation of something and either ends her idea abruptly, moving on to her next point, or doesn't show h ...more

Dr. Shiva is quite an accomplished woman. In retrospect California's governor's needed to listen to her science 30 years ago. It is not too late for us to address our needs in the current 4-year drought, and this book helps us to realize that these same drought problems have been going on during man's entire history. Suggestion: Gov. Brown, see India for ideas about water.

Another brilliant and provocative book by Vandana Shiva. I learned so much from this book--not only about water problems, but also about the ingenious, ancient indigenous systems of water conservation and usage that existed prior to European colonialism. In fact, I wish she detailed these systems and practices more fully because there is so much to learn from those models, especially to counteract the World Bank and IMF systems being imposed on people throughout the world that ultimately deprive ...more

The issue of water scarcity is incredibly important and Shiva lays out the issue in quite some detail. The degree to which water usage has been glossed over by modern economic policies is astounding. Privatization wreaks havoc on countries but the degree to which it has affected individuals' access to water is astounding. Her book lacks depth but it easily makes up for that in facts. Some of her accounts appear rather one-sided, leaning to the left, which is fine because she is reaching deep at ...more

Still reading, I find some of her calculations and analysis too simplified yet I cannot figure out a better way to do it. That being said, I think her observations and the data she collected are certainly going to be very useful. And her unique, holistic angle of looking at issues are very valuable to today's society. We westerners are just so dumb that we can only think linearly. Anything more complicated than that, we are lost!

Vandana Shiva is super legit, yo! So legit, and so is this book. If you're looking for a strong, smart, well-read, well-versed, well-researched, passionate, amaaaaazing activist, then Shiva DEFINES who you are looking for. Water Wars is fantastic, thorough, and chalk full of information on water privatization, pollution, and profit (as the title so aptly suggests).

This book was really interesting. I first read this in a Geography class in university and ever since I have been noticing more and more talk about the scarcity of water and the tensions, alliances, and back-room deals it can lead to. I was also able to see Vandana Shiva speak which seemed to make the message even more powerful.

A little leftist and some failures of economic principles. However, these kinds of books are few and far between. Any books on this topic have value and merit simply by existing and kick starting thinking and discourse. This is the most important issue the human race as a whole will probably face until we cease to exist as a species.

Transparent F3 House by Koh Kitayama Looks Like a Daylight-Filled Industrial Greenhouse
Posted By Lidija Grozdanic On August 25, 2012 @ 3:00 am In Architecture,carousel showcase,Daylighting,Design,Gallery,Green Building,Prefab Housing | 1 Comment
Photo © Shinkenchiku-sha Co., Ltd
Seen on JA+U (Japan Architecture+Urbanism), the F3 House in Tokyo was designed for an owner who had only two requests: a spacious garage for his cars, and an area where he could indulge in his passion for cooking. Architect Koh Kitayama packed all the necessary functions into the smallest possible area, leaving the rest of the house to provide space for the owner's favorite pastimes. Located in a hilly suburb of Tokyo, the daylight-filled house is liberated from the conventions of contemporary residential housing.
[1]Photo © Shinkenchiku-sha Co., Ltd [2]
The F3 House resembles a three-story industrial greenhouse [3]. The glazed outer shell of the house is supported by a steel framing system and finished with glass panels used for greenhouses. Except for a long container-like element inserted into the main structure of the building, its entire envelope is completely transparent.
At street level there is a large garage and a compact toilet hidden behind the concrete wall at the rear of the house. The mezzanine above the garage is a grille that serves as the relaxation area, while the top floor is a large deck with garden furniture and a parasol. The container comprises a kitchen and a bathroom. The wall that separates it from the rest of the interior can be sealed with special insulated shoji [4] sliding paper screens. The top story houses another outer room, with the ridge of the glass roof hinging upward to ventilate warm air [5].
Located on a street corner, all lit up from the inside at night, the house reveals almost all aspects of the owner's life – it is a design that responds to the client's willingness to think and live freely. It exhibits a reverse logic in providing privacy, as the owner states: "People don't look inside on purpose. It's so open that passers-by are too embarrassed to peer in."

Minister's Moment: I Am
"I Am"
Exodus 3
John 6-16 (selected verses)
"I AM!" At the burning bush, Moses asks God what name he should give the Israelites to prove that he has been sent to be their leader. The King James Version gives the full translation of YHWH (the Hebrew) as I AM THAT I AM. A more recent translation is I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE—which makes more sense to me. God can be whatever God wants to be—and wherever, and whyever and however. I WILL BE WHO I WILL BE covers the whole territory of a God who is in charge of everything because this is the God who created everything.

My husband and I live in Asheboro, NC. We love the beach! The sounds of the ocean offers such a relaxing atmosphere. Whether we take the family or go alone, we always find Myrtle Beach a fulfilling vacation. We are certain you will love it and visit over and over.
The Owner purchased this condo in 2010
We have looked at many condo's in the Myrtle Beach area. When we looked at Ocean Creek, we knew this was the perfect one. The location is perfect, many amenities within the resort and the views are spectacular from the master bedroom and living room.
The property at Ocean Creek is very clean. Tower South is located by the ocean, away from the road, it is such a quiet and peaceful place.
A creek fills up with the tide, allowing swimmers to enjoy the ocean with no waves!
My family and I had the pleasure of staying at the Ocean Creek , Tower South. The condo was right on the ocean front as advertised, very clean with all one needed for a pleasant week relaxing. The kitchen was well stocked with condiments, dishes, cooking utensils,blender & etc. The owners are very warm and friendly and makes you feel right at home. The main strip N. Kings Highway leads to all the attractions and Bear Foot Landing is right outside the gate.
This is our 5th time at Ocean Creek and our 2nd time with Julie, all I can say is we had an Excellent Vacation! The view from the condo is outstanding, the condo itself was great as usual. This year we had the entire family down from Illinois and we all had a great time. The kids had a blast in the swash catching crabs and with the moon being full, the night time ghost crabbing was excellent. We are already planning next years trip!
Look no further! Our family truly enjoyed our stay at ocean creek in this condo. We're a family of six, my husband and I and our four kids couldn't have been more comfy. The view is amazing and this condo is close to everything. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the comforts of home. The beds were awesome and once again .... The view.. AH-MA-zing. This unit is steps from the elevator and only on the 5th floor so getting to the beach and pools was quick. The beach lockers fully stocked with chairs and toys and a sunbrella really made the creek and ocean side days so much more easy to enjoy. We couldn't have found a better spot this year and we plan on staying here again!
You have a very cool condo the decorations really made it feel like we were already on the beach! The 4 of us had room to move around and be comfortable! We loved the bar in the kitchen, the bathroom heat lamps, and the gorgeous balcony view! High and low tide made for a good walk on the beach & somewhere good to set up all your wonderful locker beach chairs & the umbrella. The cooler came in handy too and a personal lazy river, we loved the ride until it got too shallow and we hit the sand bars! The 2 pools were just icing on the cake we spent our mornings, afternoons & evenings in them. Ocean Creek is a beautiful vacation spot you could tell who the owners were some had their dogs we loved seeing them since we had to leave ours in the kennel back home while we vacationed. Only bad thing was the weather we didn't exactly pick a very sunny week but we made do with your nice family room tv and QUICK south tower wifi. We had a great stay in GG5 and hope to come back to stay again, thanks for your condo for the week- Dave, Wanda, Ally, & Jess (:
Such a wonderful property. Great location in the south condo! It felt like home. We had a beautiful week "down the ocean"! Thank you for sharing your condo with us for the week.
Great condo, perfect location with the best view of the beach and resort. Owners made all the arrangements simple and convenient and condo was very clean and comfortable. Have stayed at alot of places over the years, but this one definitely is one of the best values and locations available.

I LOVE these cranberries! I could eat these every day. They are nice and soft and taste so good. They are a nice healthy treat for children too.
Posted by Crotchetymama on Mar 03, 2015
I like these just straight from the bag. I also use them in cooked cereal, muffins, oatmeal cookies and other stuff. Good in salads, as well. There is no sugar. The cranberries are lightly sweetened with apple juice. Pretty tasty, in my opinion. They are a bit pricey, but worth it.
The product is very good

Picture the Dead (edition 2010)
by Adele Griffin, Lisa Brown
Work details
Picture the Dead by Adele Griffin
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is the story of a young girl during the end of the Civil War. There is much history blended into this ghost story including depictions of what soldiers did in the war as well as how photography was used to communicate with the deceased. Interesting book.
After Jennie Lovell's fiancé, Will, is killed during the Civil War, she forms an alliance with a spirit photographer and uses her ability to talk to the dead to investigate the secrets Will was hiding and how he really died.
In short, this book is a gothic story of loss and heartbreak. The author and illustrator pull in the historical element of the Civil War with a tense family dynamic. Narrator and main character Jennie is facing a huge amount of loss, but also the uncertainty of what's going to happen to her next.
The story also add the phenomenon of photographing the dead. Families - especially those who lost someone during the war - were, at this time, seeking out photographers who could magically take a portrait with their lost loved ones. (Most famously, Mary Todd Lincoln was a believer.) Savvy narrator Jennie figures out the trick behind it, but also knows that this trick can provide peace of mind to those grieving. It's this plot point - the family going to have a photograph taken - that catapults the mystery and ghostly love triangle between Jennie, Will, and Quinn.
All in all, I enjoyed this book. It's unique; a story interspersed with scrapbook pages, and quite memorable.
"A ghost will find his way home. But I am not a ghost. And this house is not my home."
I've been wanting to read this book for AGES so imagine how happy I was to a) get a signed copy at ALA and b) that it turned out to be AWESOME. This is set during the Civil War, and there are ghosts and conspiracies and interesting historically-accurate bits (including early Spiritualism, one of my interests) and the art is lovely and the protagonist has a scrapbook! And she steals stuff to stick in it!
The ending was completely surprising, but in a good way if you know what I mean. It's both sad and happy, and I liked it a lot. The book as a whole is very good, and I'll definitely read whatever else Adele Griffin and/or Lisa Brown write!
Picture the Dead was a good mix of two of my favorite genres, historical and paranormal fiction. The book is skillfully illustrated with drawings which depict the sepia toned photos of the Civil War Era. This book is the story of Jennie Lovell who has experienced much loss throughout her young life. Her twin brother, Tobias, and she were orphaned at a young age and taken in by their less than welcoming aunt and uncle. Luckily, their cousin Will was excited to have them join the family and quickly became a surrogate brother to the twins. When Jennie and Will are old they are engaged to be married before Will goes off to fight for the Union effort. When Will is killed during the war Jennie is heartbroken especially since her brother has been lost to her as well. However, a ghost will find its way home and soon Jennie is feeling as though Will is trying to contact her from beyond the grave. If you are looking for a solid historical novel with a paranormal twist I highly recommend you check out this book

A ghost will find his way home.
Jennie Lovell's life is the very picture of love and loss. First she is orphaned and forced to live at the mercy of her stingy, indifferent relatives. Then her fiancé falls on the battlefield, leaving her heartbroken and alone. Jennie struggles to pick up the pieces of her shattered life, but is haunted by a mysterious figure that refuses to let her bury the past.
When Jennie forms an unlikely alliance with a spirit photographer, she begins to uncover secrets about the man she thought she loved. With her sanity on edge and her life in the balance, can Jennie expose the chilling truth before someone-or something-stops her?
Against the brutal, vivid backdrop of the American Civil War, Adele Griffin and Lisa Brown have created a spellbinding mystery where the living cannot always be trusted and death is not always the end.
Praise for Picture the Dead
"A tour de force, a remarkable feat of visual and verbal storytelling, as playful as it is serious, as haunting as it is delightful."
"Love story, mystery, ghost story...Picture the
"I loved Picture the Dead. Eerie, romantic, moody, and immersive. A beautifully illustrated gothic delight!"

Dan Israel (CD-release)
Dan Israel has quietly made quite a music career for himself, one filled with honest, affecting songwriting that equally captures both the euphoric highs and gloomy lows of modern living, all without a hint of pretension or posturing. He's currently celebrating the release of his 11th album, Crosstown Traveler, a compelling new batch of tunes that smoothly blends his quieter, more reflective songs with a louder, more robust roots-rock sound, all the while colored by Israel's astute lyrics and his rich, weathered vocals. He's always been a musician who deserves a wider audience, and hopefully with this new collection of strong, striking songs, the acclaim and recognition will come to one of the area's most consistent songwriters. With Slim Dunlap and Terry Walsh. (Photo by Steven Cohen)

Brown Rudnick Selected To Represent The Official Committee Of Unsecured Creditors In New England Compounding Center Case
BOSTON, Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- New England Compounding Center (NECC), the Massachusetts compounding pharmacy at the center of the nation's deadly fungal meningitis outbreak, revealed in bankruptcy court filings late on Friday, January 18 that since December 2011 it had paid more than $21 million to NECC's four primary owners, Barry Cadden, Gregory Conigliaro, Carla Conigliaro and Lisa Conigliaro-Cadden, and other NECC insiders. Details of these insider transfers can be found in the court filings. See US Bankruptcy Court Case 12-19882, Doc 68, Filed 01/18/13, Document Pages 166 of 208.Brown Rudnick LLP on Friday was selected to represent the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors in the bankruptcy of NECC, including the victims who received injections of tainted steroids traced to NECC. The Committee and Brown Rudnick are examining information concerning money transfers to insiders and considering the appropriate legal responses. A hearing is scheduled for Thursday, January 24 at the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Springfield, Massachusetts as to whether the Court should order an independent trustee to replace NECC's board of directors. "NECC has shown a shocking disregard for safety measures that should have been followed in its facility after failing inspection after inspection for years," said William R. Baldiga, a partner at Brown Rudnick representing the Creditor Committee. "The company was operating under unsafe conditions, yet clearly had the funds to ensure its compliance with all appropriate regulations to protect the health and well being of patients to be injected with its products." "The Committee's statutory duty is to help ensure that the property of the estate is protected, taken under control of the estate and made available to victims and creditors with claims against the company," commented Brown Rudnick partner David Molton, who also represents the Committee. Molton continued, "It is disturbing that significant amounts of company property were taken by insiders during the same period when they were permitting abhorrent conditions at the company that ultimately led to the injury and death of innocents." "We may still be at the tip of the iceberg in terms of the number of victims who will become ill or die as result of receiving injections of the tainted material," say Anne Andrews of Andrews & Thornton, Irvine, Calif. and Harry Roth of Cohen Placitella & Roth PC, Philadelphia, PA, Co-Chairs of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors. "New victims are emerging who instead of coming down with meningitis, have developed fungal abscesses that are almost impossible to treat. Tragically, many individuals have yet to realize they have been sickened with an abscess, and have yet to be diagnosed. The bankruptcy process will help to identify these now silent victims so they too can be treated fairly in this process. The vast medical complications of this tragedy have yet to be fully understood as the number of victims mount." To date, the outbreak has already killed 44 people and sickened 678, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 14,000 people have been exposed to the drugs, which are injected to ease back pain.

Great Monitor
I've had this monitor for a week or so now and was a little concerned due to the low cost that the quality may not be as good. I found it to be comparible to my more expensive monitors. My use is for work only, not gaming or movies, so not sure if quality will lack with those, but for standard work type use it is great. I've ordered another.

software-defined servers
A marketing term coined by HP for its ultra-low power Project Moonshot servers developed for specific data center workloads such as cloud computing and big data. The HP Moonshot software-defined servers use 89 percent less power and 80 percent less space than traditional server systems and reduce complexity by 97 percent.
Benefits of Software Defined Servers
Software-defined servers achieve these feats by sharing a variety of components, including cooling and networking and power supplies, as well as management software such as HP's Integrated Lights-Out software tools. Software-defined servers derive their name from these shared software management tools, which are able to dynamically assign and efficiently manage workloads across the servers in a system.

on the breakout... great entrance point before this resumes the run higher. We doubled this morning.
On a rough day for the market, this was a good bounce off the pivot (also the 50d ema).
See you all a bunch higher over the next month...
btw, we covered in the smaller KKD short this morning when it turned around... still lots of wounded shorts out there, but once they cover in, that stock will get hammered. We'll have more fun on that then.
