The dramatic changes in the market place make this difficult. On the one hand the RBNZ has eased monetary policy considerably yet on the other lenders have become more risk adverse. However, investing time in understanding the market and the terms others are securing can pay dividends when it comes to negotiating with lenders.
But if you are in the awkward position where trading conditions are making it hard to meet bank covenants when you come to renew, or if you happen to breach, do you have any choice? Those businesses that have planned ahead and are managing expectations are likely to be the ones that ensure continued support from lenders.

I lost my job several months ago and just got a job offer so I accepted. The job is with a good company, entry level but the pay is decent. Basically a similar job to the one I was laid off from and that I have done for the past 10 years but in a different industry.
The day I accepted, I got a call from someone I used to work for wanting to talk to me about an opening she has. This is my dream job. It is a higher level position, 30-40% more pay and I can work from home.
It seems like a no brainer, right? The catch is that company #2 wants to fly me out for a meeting/ interview the day company #1 wants me to start. I feel great about the initial conversation I had with my old manager and the recruiter but I don't have an offer yet.
Would you take the first job or take a chance on the second job?
Should I take a chance on the dream job? Update - I got the job!!
I lost my job several months ago and just got a job offer so I accepted. The job is with a good company, entry level but the pay is decent. Basically a similar job to the one I was laid off from and that I have done for the past 10 years but in a different industry.
That's tough because #2 isn't a guaranteed thing yet, right?
My instinct would go with #2. Good luck with whatever you decide!
Is there anyway Company #2 would see you sooner, or have a later start date for company #1?
Ask to start a different day since "something" personal came up.
Fly out there.
Accept your dream job. Quite the other job.
#2 is not guaranteed. But, they contacted me to ask if I would be interested and are flying me halfway across the country to meet with some of the team. That has to mean something, right?
I can't change the dates because it is coming up really quickly. I feel like I need to take a chance. #2 would allow me to be home in the mornings to get the kids ready for school. I would save gas money since I won't be commuting and I think I will like it so much more.
I just hope I don't regret it.
I would tell #2 the situation and see if they can bump up the interview. Do they know you've recently accepted another position? You may not want to say you've actually accepted, though, just that you were offered another job and they want you to start on X date. You can say that job #2 is your preference and you'd really like to make that interview and you're hoping you can bump it up.
you ain't gotta lie to kick it
I can't bump it up...they want me out there in just a few days. Yes, #2 knows that I have an offer from #1. I actually used her as a reference so she knows all about it.
I think I may just have to try asking #1 to push back the start date and see what happens. I feel so fortunate to have these opportunities so I don't want to complain but why did it all have to happen at once??
Ok...I am going to accept the flight itinerary and call job #1. Wish me luck!

Michael Sam is starting to look and sound like a man who might not be drafted
The TV cameras won't be on Michael Sam this weekend, which is probably wise considering it's looking more and more as though the NFL Draft might run its course with no team calling his name.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- It wouldn't be an NFL Draft if it didn't resemble "Curb Your Enthusiasm" at some point, if we didn't have at least three or four cringe-worthy moments, a few borderline train wrecks captured by the magic of live television.
And there's nothing more cringe-worthy than cutting to the poor guy in the thousand-dollar suit in the Green Room, waiting for his name to be called. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting. You could hardly blame Aaron Rodgers for wanting to spit on the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center every time he's walked past the place.
Although, actually, there is something even more awkward, even more uncomfortable: The live shots of the poor guy in his living room, surrounded by family, friends, plates of half-eaten pizza and drinks, staring collectively at the television, waiting for the phone to ring.
And waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
It's great theater, if you're the type who's into psychological torture.
At any rate, word from Michael Sam's camp is that the ex-Missouri defensive end will watch this weekend's KiperFest with his inner circle and, more significantly, the first openly gay NFL Draft prospect will reportedly do so without a live camera crew from either of the two major networks broadcasting the event.
And two thoughts immediately spring to mind:
1. Smart thinking.
2. Clearly, folks in Sam's inner circle are prepared for the worst-case scenario -- that is, Sam, who's projected as a fifth-, sixth- or seventh-round selection, at best, winds up not being taken at all.
Which, the closer we get to the curtain going up, is becoming a very, very, very serious possibility.
Despite the accolades of his senior season -- 11 1/2 sacks, 19 tackles for loss, the Southeastern Conference's Defensive Player of the Year, consensus All-American -- Sam is viewed by many NFL scouts as a classic "tweener": smaller than a typical defensive end, slower and less nimble than most linebackers.
During the NFL Scouting Combine in February, the 6-foot-2, 261-pounder impressed during his news conference, then went out and ran a 40-yard dash in the 4.8s and 4.9s and did fewer bench-press reps than smaller Mizzou teammate Henry Josey -- all 5-8, 194 pounds of him.
Nate Silver's new FiveThirtyEight blog this week crunched the usual Nate Silver numbers, and judged Sam as a likely sixth-ish round projection, and that sixth-ish-round projections are a coin flip to be one of the final 64 or so names off the board. But the more damning nuggets came via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Sunday, which polled 21 anonymous scouts to gauge the temperature on Sam -- and to call the results "lukewarm" would be kind. From Bob McGinn:
Three said fifth round. Three said sixth round. Three said seventh round. Five said they would sign him as a free agent. Seven said they wouldn't sign him as a free agent.
NFL CHEERLEADERS: Check out our gallery of sideline shots from around the league.
Three scouts from clubs using the 4-3 defense said emphatically that Sam didn't fit their scheme. Conversely, two scouts from teams using the 3-4 defense said emphatically that Sam didn't fit their scheme.
Some caveats here: First, you have to remember that the glass is always half-empty, as far as NFL scouts are concerned, and especially in the spring. Their job is to find flaws and avoid investing in mistakes. Hence, if your weaknesses aren't Topic 1 of the conversation, they're Topic 1a.
Second -- and this is somewhat in the scouts' defense -- Sam, for all his college production, was always going to be considered a "fringe" NFL prospect, a tough fit. At Mizzou, he played harder than just about anybody in the area code, and scouts don't have a stopwatch for heart. But they measure just about everything else, and the "everything else" part of it, combined with some lackluster workout results, has turned many front offices from "maybe" to "probably not."

And when a fringe player comes out of the closet, that -- well, that complicates things, too. To pass on Sam will be spun, in some circles, as selective homophobia; if the entire draft takes a pass, the catcalls will insinuate league-wide collusion.
The NFL Draft -- like the Olympics, soccer, golf or a lot of other televised events where not a whole lot happens over large stretches of time -- is about story lines, about narratives. Sam, and Sam's sexual orientation, is one of the top five narratives of the entire weekend, now, whether the NFL likes it or not.
The cynical view is that the ex-Tiger might've known his middling stock the whole time, and that coming out to selective media outlets in February was a calculated move -- a gamble that might eventually "guilt" him onto an NFL roster. That's probably poppycock, of course, and Sam and his representatives have tried to keep the conversation, in his occasional media appearances -- including one Wednesday morning on ABC's "Good Morning America" -- framed within the context of a good football player who just happens to be gay, and not the other way around.
"The coaches know that I'm a great football player," Sam told ABC's Robin Roberts. "Where I go, it doesn't matter. As long as I get to play and put a jersey on my back, it's just awesome. I'm going to be proud of wherever I go."
He just might not be as proud of when. Or how.

Since the subject of regearing arises periodically, I thought it would be interesting to see how various folks deal with the subject.
All of my bikes have custom chainring and cog sizes which I have selected to fit my own needs.
I typically go for a low gear in the mid-40s (gear-inches), a top gear in the mid-90s, and an average ratiometric progression of about 6 or 7 percent through most of the range, sometimes with a larger jump at the very top or bottom. I live in an area with light winds but some hills.
What works very well for me:
50-42 / 14-16-18-20-23-26 for club riding, recreation, unloaded touring; superb
47-38 / 13-15-17-19-21-23 for same applications -- not nearly as nice a ratio progression
49-46 / 14-16-18-21-24-26 equipment-constrained on an old classic; a bit stiff in the low end
45-42 / 13-15-17-20-23-26 for commuting and general transportation

Fox News Reporter Won't Reveal James Holmes Notebook Source
She's fighting the court's request to have her testify.
Fox News journalist Jana Winter said on Thursday that she'll fight a court ruling that ordered her to testify on who leaked information about a notebook sent to James Holmes's psychiatrist that was "full of details about how he was going to kill people." The defense says the story violates the gag order in the case and might prejudice potential jurors, but nine law enforcement officials testified that they weren't the source. Prosecutors have said that trying to force Winter to testify might delay the case, and her lawyer says she plans to "assert all legal redress available to her."

Now, more than ever, it looks like Jorge De La Rosa has thrown his last pitch for the Rockies.
Tuesday night, the Rockies offered De La Rosa salary arbitration, assuring themselves of two draft picks if, as expected, De La Rosa signs with another club.
De La Rosa is a Type A free agent, which carries compensation of two draft picks
The Rockies also offered arbitration to Type B free agent Octavio Dotel, who would net them one supplemental pick if he signs with another team.
Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd hasn't turned the page on De La Rosa, but his agent, Bobby Barad, continues talking to other teams, some of which are ready to commit at least four years to De La Rosa. The list includes the Orioles, Nationals, Pirates, Yankees and Rangers.
The Rockies remain adamant about sticking to three years for De La Rosa, and O'Dowd said he's "still going through the process" of finding a replacement in the event that De La Rosa leaves. One player they may pursue is free agent Jon Garland, who is trying to land a multiyear deal.
"We have some interest in Jon," O'Dowd said. "He's in that grouping of guys that we've certainly talked about. He's one of the guys who could certainly take care of what our needs are."
In 2010, Garland finished 14-12 with a 3.47 ERA for the Padres, pitching 200 innings and striking out 136. If he doesn't land with the Rockies, other candidates include free agents Carl Pavano and Javier Vaz- quez and White Sox right- hander Gavin Floyd, who could be available in a trade. Vaz- quez, however, appears on the verge of signing with Florida.
The Rockies never got involved in the bidding for Victor Martinez, who agreed Tuesday to a four-year, $50 million deal with the Tigers, but his signing brings up an intriguing name: Magglio Ordoñez, a Type A free agent who, at 36, could carry a reasonable price tag.
Ordonez, who won the 2007 AL batting title, hit .303-12-59 in 323 at-bats last season and wasn't offered arbitration, so he wouldn't cost Colorado any draft-choice compensation.
Others of interest to the Rockies: free agents Jermaine Dye, Andruw Jones, Jose Lopez and Yorvit Torrealba, and Colorado native Kevin Kouzmanoff.

Do I need to taper off hydrochlorothiazide/spironolactone 25mg-25mg or can I just stop it?

You can just stop taking hydrochlorothiazide and spironolactone... you don't need to taper off. However, before stopping please discuss this with your doctor. Your blood pressure will need to be monitored when you come off this, and perhaps your doctor may wish to put you on some other medicine.
Thanks for the answer. I have stopped Spirono/Hctz. However, I am monitoring my blood pressure at home. I am on a Nutrisystem diet and losing weight. So far, my blood pressure is normal.
If my blood pressure should rise abnormally, I will start back on the HBP med. Hopefully, all will go as planned!
Thank goodness because I feel like if I take the hydro... one more day I won't be able to walk across the room. I have been telling my Dr. my symptoms but he just says it's my knees and a touch of arthritis... but I never had anything like this until I started taking this pill and Crestor. I monitor my pressure at home and it is fine... until I get to the Dr. office and that's when it elevates. I am a very active person in my community and I want to get back to business. I hope I can get some good advice to help me through this. thanks!
Get off the Crestor. Statins are poison. Almost destroyed my muscles. I went down like a rubber band.
Iv'e been taking hydrochlorothiazide . for about 1 month my blood is fine at home but everytime i go to the dr. to get a blood pressure my pressure elevates. now my dr want to increase my medication to hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg and lisinopril 20 mg..Does anyone have any comments?
Thanks for the answer. I have stopped the Spirono/Hctz. I am monitoring my blood pressure at home. I am losing weight from being on the Nutrisystem. Hopefully, if all goes as planned, I won't have to restart the HBP med.

Hey NatalieE,
I have to reiterate and add to what has been said. You can stop these medications without tapering but you run the risks of electrolyte and hormonal imbalance. You need to be under a doctor's care so to avoid complicaitons like high blood pressure, hyperkalemia, and hypokalemia, to name just a few.
The signs of imbalance are as follows:
Warning signs or symptoms of fluid and electrolyte imbalance include dryness of mouth, thirst, weakness, lethargy, drowsiness, restlessness, muscle pains or cramps, muscular fatigue, hypotension, oliguria, tachycardia, and gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea and vomiting.
High blood pressure can be symptomless, but life threatening if gone untreated.
Please consult your doctor before discontinuing these medications.
Thanks for the answer. I have stopped the Spirono/Hctz. I am monitoring my blood pressure at home. Also, I am on a diet and losing weight. Hopefully, if all goes as planned, I won't have to restart the HBP med. However, I will keep the warning signs and/or symptoms in mind.

No Excess in Labor Market
(DCN), Delphi (DPH) and Visteon (VC) have announced plans to lay off thousands of workers, and Yamarone said Ford (F - Get Report), General Motors (GM - Get Report) and DaimlerChrysler (DCX) could cut jobs, too. Nationwide, layoffs rose to 109,045 in December, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Job cuts have now held above 100,000 for four straight months, the first time that has happened since early 2002.Meanwhile, the four-week moving average of unemployment claims rose in the payroll survey week and the Conference Board's Help Wanted index recently slipped a point. "Job growth continues to be sluggish, despite periodic reports that some companies are planning to add workers in the months ahead," said economist Ken Goldstein, a specialist in the labor markets. On a more encouraging note, consumers saying jobs are "plentiful" increased to 19.4% in December from 17.1%, while those claiming jobs are "hard to get" fell to 26.4% from 28%, according to the Conference Board's consumer confidence survey. For that and other reasons, economist Brian Jones of Citibank predicts that payrolls surged as much as 300,000 last month. On average, economists estimate that the jobless rate held steady at 5.4% and average hourly earnings are expected to rise 0.2%. Federal Reserve officials believe the labor market is improving "gradually" and some members are becoming increasingly concerned about inflation and the low level of interest rates, the minutes of the Dec. 14 policy meeting show. Still, Dain Rauscher's Boberski thinks the concerns are overblown. "The number of new jobs this year will likely be half the number necessary to re-create pre-recession market conditions," he said. "It is safe to say that managers will be reluctant to try to attract and retain workers with sharply higher wages. That should be welcome news for policymakers eying inflation prospects for the new year."In recent weeks, auto suppliers like Dana

Twins First Kiss by fallenjrblueWatch
©2013-2016 fallenjrblue
Both from the same Guy, Mermando
Aww man. I really hated and I meant hated that part o-o The worst thing was that my 10 years old sister was watching it, too. Awkward silence moment o-o.... o.o...... o-o.....
Mermando is such a pimp! Making out with the Pine twins!
Dipper and Mabel really do share everything!
Dipper and Mabel really do share everything!
Lol Dipper
CPR doesn't count
I still don't understand why Dipper went through all the trouble of spitting water into Mermando's mouth, when could have done what Mermando said and just threw him into the lake or even just pouring water directly from the bottle in his mouth.
Dipper wasn't using common sense.
You mean reverse CPR lol
LOL nice drawing!!! I love the facial expressions
I loved the new episode , and from there I now love "Gravity Falls"
Mermando/Mabel= Rule 63!Ariel/Eric ?

Why do Authors use Symbolism?
Why do Authors use Symbolism?
Saying something directly is different from describing what you mean. For example if you say 'Life isn't fair,, some might go on thinking about it but only for a while. This thought might not really sink in unless you tell it like this 'I know of an orphan African girl who was sold as a slave to a rich Englishman who later on fell in love with her and married her. They live happily at first and had 2 children. But after some time the Englishman had an affair with another woman, she treated his first wife badly divorcing her and leaving her without anything. He even took their children. Now she's back to what she was back then, poor, homeless and alone. A true desolate woman., Then I guess you'll agree that in her case, life was really unfair for her.
This phrase is an example of what authors use especially when they want to relay a deeper meaning to what they are actually writing. In literature, this technique is called 'Symbolism'. Many short story authors use symbolism to further foretell and capture the important elements of the story. It is also good for the readers because symbolism gives them the idea about what the theme is all about without the author directly telling it in the story.
Symbolism can either be an object, a character, an action or a situation that denotes a deeper meaning. The author may use different objects, compare characters or situations or can repeatedly use the same situation or object to convey crucial plots, predominant mood or feelings. Symbolism can either be subtle or blatant. It can also be used slightly or considerably.
In conclusion, authors use symbolism when they want to give more meaning and feeling to their story without directly pointing it out. This is often used by short story writers as it gives them enough space to convey what they have to say using fewer words.

|Silence Is (Gonna Be) Golden: 2012 Oscar Predictions - "Pencils Down!" Edition
|Movies - Feature Stories
|Written by Mike Schulz
|Thursday, 23 February 2012 18:45
[Author's note: Well, considering that these original Oscar predictions are in print, I guess I'm stuck with them, right? Au contraire! Over the 13 days since this article was originally published online, Hollywood's arts & crafts guilds announced their winners, the British Academy of Film & Television Awards (BAFTA) were handed out, and numerous prognosticators far more in-the-loop than I am have weighed in. And so I'm finally prepared to offer my absolute, final, turn-in-your-Oscar-pool-guesses-now choices, having changed my original guesses on a full seven of the 24 categories. My final picks, along with some commentary, follow the originally published predictions. And don't forget to follow my reactions to the ceremony at Twitter.com/MikeSchulzNow. Let's see how awful my spelling gets as the night rolls on and I get more and more dru- ... ! Um-m-m ... . More and more excited, I mean!]
After tying my personal best two years ago, when I guessed correctly in 18 of the 24 individual Academy Award races, I experienced a rather sizable setback in 2011, amassing only 13 right. How am I feeling about my predictions this year?
Well ... I've certainly felt worse.
I'll likely feel better when I invariably change several of my selections in the technical categories, after their respective guilds name their winners prior to February 26's Academy Awards ceremony. (Last year, all of the eventual victors in the Oscars' cinematography, editing, art-direction, costume-design, and sound categories received guild awards beforehand.) And I'll probably feel even better than that if – as I promise to every damned year – I start predicting more with my brain than my heart, the latter organ causing me to wrongly back Hailee Steinfeld and David Fincher last year ... and a certain Best Actor candidate this year.
Nevertheless, here's where we stand at the moment. For you fellow participants in annual Oscar pools, feel free to use this as a cheat sheet when marking Xs on your ballots ... though I beg you: Until you're absolutely ready to turn in your guesses, mark them in pencil.
(Update: The Artist won the BAFTA, and by this point it's won practically everything but the Nobel Peace Prize, so check this one off with full confidence.)
(Update: Hazanavicius won at BAFTA, too, This one's another sure bet.)
(Update: Streep actually won the BAFTA, but let's face it - within that particular voting bloc, her victory was practically a done deal the moment she signed the Iron Lady contract. Davis is gonna walk away win this one, and will receive a deserved standing ovation when she does.)
(Update: Heartbreaking as it is to do it, I'm giving up the ghost on a Pitt victory here. I probably would've stuck with him had Oldman been awarded Best Actor at BAFTA - lending credence to my theory that this particular Oscar category was totally up for grabs - but Dujardin snagged that one, too. I'm not totally counting out the chances of a Clooney win, but as it stands, this looks like The Artist star's to lose.)
(Update: And they still are.)
(Update: Like Spencer, Plummer won the BAFTA, and looks unstoppable. I will join millions of others in being very, very happy about that.)
(Update: Hazanavicius won the BAFTA. Woody won the writers'-guild award ... which would carry more weight in predicting this category if The Artist had been eligible for the guild award. I'm holding tight, though, thinking that Hazanavicius' probable Best Director and Best Film Editing triumphs will be reward enough for the man, and that voters will want to give something to the Woodman for the highest-grossing movie of his career ... and one that, not for nothing, also happens to be one of his very best.)
(Update: With a BAFTA win behind them, a victory for the Tinker Tailor duo still doesn't seem completely unfathomable, despite the film not receiving Best Picture and Director recognition. But the winner of the writers guild's adapted-screenplay prize went to the Descendants team, so I'm now backing those guys. And hating the realization that Moneyball is probably going to go 0-for-6 on Sunday.
(Update: A done deal. Even the Brits went for it.)
(Update: You're not gonna believe this. But even with only two nominees in this category, I'm changing my guess here, based almost solely on the fact that the Rio song has the legendary, 71-year-old Brazilian musician Sergio Mendes as one of its nominees, a man who actually performed on the Academy Awards ... in 1968, for Pete's sake. He's like the freakin' Christopher Plummer of the Best Original Song category.)
(Update: Still predicting A Separation, considering that the movie that wound up winning the BAFTA - Pedro Almodovar's The Skin I Live in - isn't nominated here. Still thinking I might regret it.)
(Update: Again, the BAFTA went to another non-nominee for the Oscar, so I'm letting my prediction ride here, and am really hoping that Paradise Lost directors Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky can soon call themselves Oscar winners. Have you seen Brother's Keeper? Metallica: Some Kind of Monster? The other Paradise Lost films? Those guys rule!)
(Update: I have nothing to say.)
(Update: Yes! Tree of Life won this award from the cinematography guild, so Emmanuel Lubezki is one step closer to his victory! Of course, he won that award five years ago for Children of Men, too, and where the hell did that get him on Oscar night ... ?
(Update: Of the three costume-guild winners - as the guild votes in contemporary, period, and fantasy categories - the only one nominated for the Oscar was W.E. But is the Academy quite ready to reward a movie directed by Madonna? The Artist won at BAFTA, but I'm actually changing my vote to Sandy Powell for Hugo, as Anonymous maybe didn't feature quite as many frocks as voters would prefer, and is generally, and correctly, regarded as tony trash. For the record, this is the Oscar category I'm the absolute least comfortable in predicting, and might be the reason I go 23-for-24 on Sunday. Because, you know, that'll happen.)
(Update: The guild went with The Descendants in the drama category and The Artist in comedy. When in doubt, go with the eventual Best Picture winner.)
(Update: Hugo's a lock. Like an Octavia Spencer, Rango kind of lock.)
(Update: A major change - a Transformers win in both categories would now totally shock me. An even more major change - I'm going with War Horse for both. I somehow forgot that Spielberg's opus has the words "war" and "horse" baked right into the title. When it comes to the sound categories, how could voters resist?)
Hail Caesar!
(Update: This is likely going to be a tighter race than my two-word assessment indicated, but I'm staying put. Movies in which Andy Serkis gives a motion-capture performance never lose in this category.)
(Update: It's really the Potter series' only serious chance for an Oscar, despite outside chances in its other two categories this year. It still ain't gonna happen.)
[Update: From what I understand, Tsunami - when not focusing on the horrific devastation of its title - is incredibly artful and meditative. Since when did that ever push the Academy's buttons? (He said, silently hoping that "artful" and "meditative" will actually win out in the Best Cinematography category.) I'm officially changing my guess here to Saving Face, which is about Pakistani women who survive nightmarish physical assaults by family members, and is one of those movies that lead trustworthy Oscar prognosticators to say things like, "If you see that movie, you can't not vote for it." I'm going with the experts.]
(Update: I'm hearing amazing things about both Raju and Tuba Atlantic, but my adoration and respect for Ciarán Hinds is keeping me steadfast. And that's despite his currently co-starring in the Ghost Rider sequel.)
(Update: Everyone seems to think this one will win. You've been warned. "Everyone" is nearly always wrong in this category.)
So ... to sum up ... .

Norman Music Festival evolves, improves
As one of the founding organizers of the Norman Music Festival in 2008, Jonathan Fowler recalls a time when nothing about the annual event felt certain — including whether it would come back for a second year.
But Fowler sees nothing but progress for the three-day event in downtown Norman, which climaxed Saturday night with Main Stage performances by Stillwater's Other Lives and Alaskan orchestral rock band Portugal.The Man.
"I have not-so-fond memories of long delays, extra-long sound checks and problems with audio coming up, the controlled chaos," Fowler said during a Main Stage set by the Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey.
"That's really minimal these days, just observing what's going on this year. The crowd for the day on Saturday has been tremendous. I guess the way it's changed is, it's more tight."
Learning process
Fans, bands and observers might not have noticed the behind-the-scenes anxiety Fowler described: Norman Music Festival gained an early reputation for performances that started close to schedule with relatively few technical problems.
However, Fowler said it was a learning process, and not everything went as smoothly as it appeared.
"Well, whenever we heard somebody say that, we'd just chuckle," said Fowler, who oversaw the first three years of Norman Music Festival and whose company, Fowler Volkswagen, continues as a lead sponsor. "Year one, year two and year three, there were late, late nights on Saturday nights trying to figure out what was going to happen, if everything was going to be OK and we were going to be able to do it the next year.
"I think if you were to ask the organizers now — or even the city, police or fire folks who help us out and support us — if you were to ask if there was going to be another one, it's always an unspoken 'yes,'" he said.
Singer and songwriter Sherree Chamberlain said she always looks forward to the festival each year as a chance to connect with fans and fellow artists. A regular performer at the event, Chamberlain played a solo acoustic set of new material Saturday afternoon to a packed room at Opolis, 113 Crawford.
"I've been in a hibernation mode, trying to write the record and chill out a little bit, so I was a little concerned that people had forgotten about me," said Chamberlain, who immediately went to Blackwatch Studios after her set to support fellow artists such as Beau Jennings at the studio's outdoor stage.
"It's so much fun to me, because in almost every single show, I know somebody who's playing or there's somebody in the audience I know," she said. "It's like this huge family connection at every show. Totally different styles in every place, but everyone's such a huge supporter across the board."
'It's all a big daze'
Feathered Rabbit lead singer Morgan Hartman, who performed with her band outside Blackwatch on Saturday, said she was happy with the crowd her band attracted and the exposure the festival provides for new bands.
"I think it's amazing, it's wonderful and it's all free," Hartman said. "It's a wonderful way to get ourselves out to people. I think everybody really liked it — it's all a big daze."
Fowler said that level of exposure for local artists was one of the main reasons he helped start the festival. More than 200 acts participated in this year's event, many of whom got to play the same stage as nationally known musicians.
Fowler said that one of the greatest benefits of Norman Music Festival is the word-of-mouth it generates for Oklahoma artists.
"To hear these bands come in and say, 'Oh, I've heard Other Lives,' or 'I know Broncho — I bought their album,' to hear these bands that are successful and touring and making a living talk about bands from our state — that's where I get the most satisfaction," Fowler said.
It's like this huge family connection at every show. Totally different styles in every place, but everyone's such a huge supporter across the board."

We took this picture of the joined lab when we were saying "good bye" to our summer students, Dynora and Steffi (third from the left in the first row). I am in the second row (labeled "Eugenia"). You can barely see me, so I guess I am not as tall as I think I am. The members of my lab are all labeled, and if you want to know more about their background and research, please go to the "Lab members" page.
The unlabeled people belong to my husband's lab. His name is Seva Gurevich, and he is standing next to me on the left. You can see him just fine, so he is as tall as he thinks he is. Although his lab is quite molecular, and some people even go so far as to purify proteins, we are still very friendly with them. On a day-to-day basis, we operate as one big, happy family, which provides variety in colors, shapes, sizes, and languages, not to mention research interests. We hold joint lab meetings, too. So, one day we might discuss the crystal structure of arrestin3 and the next day – the deficit in prefrontal cortex-dependent cognitive functions!

Sen. Jay Rockefeller has a lot of explaining to do given his comments over the weekend that he was traveling around the Middle East back in 2002 telling Arab governments that the President had already made up his mind to go to war with Iraq.
It isn't clear -- as in other situations -- that Rockefeller may have leaked national security intelligence materials, but it is clear that he was working against the interests of his own country for what sounded like nothing more than an opportunity to strut around on foreign soil like a big-time politico.
Last week, according to a Republican staffer on Senate Intelligence, Rockefeller's personal office called in committee staff associated with the Intelligence commitee to measure just what, if any, damage they might be dealing with in a full investigation of the "Black Site Scandal." They must be getting nervous.

"Vadsø & an interesting airship-museum" Top 5 Page for this destination Arctic Off The Beaten Path Tip by globetrott
Arctic Off The Beaten Path: 17 reviews and 54 photos
Vadsø is a small town of about 6000 inhabitants in the very north of Norway and the Hurtigruten-ships stop there on their northbound voyage for about 30 minutes.
Time enough to visit a small museum - in a shed opposite of the ship - about the early days of the airships: In 1926 & 1928 the airships "Norge" and "Italia" made their last stop there on the european continent before exploring the Northpole.
In my main picture: The replica of the gondola of Umberto Nobile's Airship "Italia".
No entrancefee to be paid in that museum, but donations are welcome and the most time of the year the museum will also be open just when the Hurtigruten-ship will be docked there for 30 minutes.
You can step into the gondola as well.

Kenny G's Favorite Crumpet Shop Reopens, Trader Joe's Construction Starts in West Seattle, & More"/>
Kenny G's favorite crumpet shop in Pike Place is up and running again!
First off, on Beacon Hill, Bar del Corso is expected to open in the former Beacon Pub space at 3057 Beacon Ave. S. by mid-June. The establishment will serve traditional Italian fare, including small plates, brick-oven pizza, and desserts like homemade gelato.
Kenny G's favorite crumpet shop in Pike Place is up and running again!
In the Central District, a new taco truck
In the Central District, a new taco truck, Los Tres Reyes -- that's Spanish for The Three Kings -- is now slinging tacos in the E Z Auto Repair parking lot at 21st and Union. Hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays.
On Capitol Hill, The Confectional is now serving cheesecake at 618 Broadway Avenue East. Hours have not yet been set for the second installment of the Pike Place Market-based bakery, but plans are for it to operate quietly and regularly until its grand opening on June 4. Also in the neighborhood, a sandwich shop is taking over the former Pita Pit space at 1514 Broadway Ave. this month. Grubwich will feature specialty sandwiches, hand-cut fries, and for dessert--still sticking with the theme--ice-cream sandwiches.
Downtown, The Crumpet Shop in Pike Place Market has reopened, following a five-month hiatus during which it underwent repairs, according to Seattle Met. Among the beloved establishment's biggest supporters: SW's Gavin Borchert, who swears it's the best bakery in the city, and super saxophonist Kenny G, who gets his crumpet fix there whenever he's in town.

Rangers upset bid comes up shortPublished 3:22pm Thursday, January 26, 2012
CASSOPOLIS — For the second time this week, top-ranked Brandywine found itself down after one quarter of play.
And just like the Bobcats did Monday night in Mendon, they regrouped and went on to pick up the victory and remain undefeated, both on the season and in Lakeland Conference play.
Brandywine withstood a strong first quarter challenge from host Cassopolis Tuesday night in their girls basketball game. The Bobats outscored the Rangers 45-21 over the final three quarters to take the 58-37 victory.
Cassopolis (6-7, 4-4 Lakeland) came out fired up and chucking the ball at the basket. The Rangers got off 22 shots in the opening quarter, but only connected on five of them.
As a result, despite forcing 12 first quarter turnovers by the usually sure-handed Bobcats, Cassopolis was only able to manage a 16-13 lead when the first quarter buzzer went off.
That wasn't nearly good enough.
Brandywine (13-0, 6-0 Lakeland) scored 12 in a row at one point in the second quarter and took the lead for good on a Mackenzie Shelton 3-pointer with 5:35 remaining in the first half, 20-19.
The Bobcats ended up outscoring the Rangers 17-7 in the quarter and held a 30-25 advantage heading to the locker room at halftime.
In there, veteran Brandywine coach Josh Hood stressed defense and his team responded in the second half, holding Cassopolis to just 12 points, including two in the third quarter.
After the Rangers scored the opening basket of the third quarter, the Bobcats scored the next 19 points and turned a close game into a 22-point advantage by the end of the period.
Brandywine took a 49-27 lead into the fourth quarter.
"We just talked at halftime about doing what we do," Hood said. "We talk a lot of pride on defense and we were trading baskets. We try not to give up 50 points and they were on pace for 50. So we just talked about taking pride in defense because the offense was going to take care of itself."
Cassopolis actually outscored Brandywine 10-9 in the final quarter, but it didn't really matter.
Bobcats standout senior Carlie Newman led all scorers with 24 points and became Brandywine's all-time leading scorer with 1,332 points. She surpassed the late Leonard Drake, who score 1,328 points in his career, which spanned from 1970 through 1973.
Shelton added nine points, as did Tia Hullinger off the bench. Madison Pellow finished with eight points.
Courtney Moore led the Rangers with 13 points. Tammy Lee finished with seven.
Carlie Newman 8 5-6 24; Rachael Ort 1 0-0 2; Mackenzie Shelton 3 2-2 9; Tia Hullinger 3 3-4 9; Victoria Knight 0 0-2 0; Brooke Smith 2 0-0 6; Mikayla Kemp 0 0-0 0; Madison Pellow 1 6-8 8. TOTALS: 18 16-22
Tammy Lee 2 2-4 7; Bre Coleman 1 0-0 2; Jessica Waldschmidt 0 0-0 0; Jameka Eleazor 1 2-2 4; Olivia Nelson 0 0-0 0; Lauren Smith 0 0-0 0; Savannah Sullivan 3 0-2 6; Jade Gatson 1 1-4 4; Courtney Moore 3 7-8 13. TOTALS: 11 13-22 37
Brandywine 13 30 49 58
Cassopolis 16 25 27 37
3-point baskets: Brandywine 6 (Newman 3, Shelton, Smith 2), Cassopolis 2 (Lee, Gatson). Total fouls (fouled out): Brandywine 17 (none), Cassopolis 17 (none). Varsity records: Brandywine 13-0, 6-0 Lakeland; Cassopolis 6-7, 4-4 Lakeland

text: Cities must harness technology to cope with population rises Technology 14 September 10 by Olivia Solon Flickr CC: OiMax As urban populations rise, cities need to harness technology in order to deal with the greater strain on existing infrastructure, according to speakers at IBM's sustainability summit, Start.Over the next twenty years the number of people who live in cities across the world will increase from 2.8bn to a massive 5bn. This will cause great strain on existing infrastructure and resources, and present new challenges for planning new urban developments.Less than 1% of the earth's surface area is accounted for by cities, yet urban areas account for 75% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions."More than anything else, the future of humankind depends on making our cities more sustainable," said Economist and Futurologist Hamish McRae at the "Smarter Cities" day of IBM's Start event. The event aimed to bring together thought leaders in business, government and academia to overcome challenges and explore opportunities to lead business towards a sustainable future.Cities were described as "systems of systems" which need a multi-pronged, holistic approach to become more sustainable. There are different systems for electricity, waste management, traffic control, water, healthcare, crime fighting and transportation. "When one of them breaks down it has a significant impact on the rest of the city," said Simon Humberstone, Lead Executive, Local Government, IBM UK. "You can't look at them in silos, you need to look at how they interconnect."Technology is key to enabling these systems to work together. Smarter cities, in IBM's view, are "instrumented, interconnected and intelligent". Fraser Davidson, VP Local Government, IBM explained to Wired: "Although a lot of the technology is available, in many cases it is not being implemented."There are some examples In Singapore, data from passenger smart cards (like London's Oyster) is being used to make public transport more useful. By analysing the data, they were able to build a "bus arrival predictor" which tells you the precise time of your bus an hour in advance. You can also check if there is a seat on the bus before you think about running to the bus stop.Another example is the "water-stressed city" of Sacramento in California, where they have added sensors along the 3,000 miles of its sewage system to allow better prediction of when the system will need maintenance as opposed to waiting for a pipe to burst before it gets fixed.A further idea is having sensors and local management systems in buildings to ensure that heat and light aren't wasted, as demonstrated in the New York Times Building in, you guessed it, New York. So if there is plenty of natural light, the electric lights automatically dim or switch off completely.These sorts of innovations require "instrumentation" through devices such as RFIDs, sensors and surveillance technology. Rashik Parmar, CTO, North East Europe, IBM, told Wired: "All that movement of information enables to get real insight into what the city is about. Unless you have real information about the city, you don't know what to manage."All of this information can then be integrated and analysed to be able to make fact-based decisions about improvements and efficiencies that can be made. Parmar said: "It's about how people use the technology and how technology changes people's lives. We are right at the start of a huge journey in technology making people's lives much better."
