Went to COSTCO today and it was busier than I've seen it like people were preparing for a NATURAL DISASTER or something!!
Poster Handle
Post Content
I haven't done the Costco run this month, but I noticed when I was at WalMart last week in the grocery section that they had a large, three tiered cart with what I believe are called #10 cans.
Went closer for a look and found that it was all sorts of mixes and dehydrated foods. You could get dry milk, bread mixes, drink mixes, fake bacon bits, fruit, and several types of vegetables (dried). It was pretty well picked over by the time I saw it.
Got a can of dehydrated celery. I've never tried drying my own celery, although I regularly do frozen mixed veggies in the dehydrator and they come out well.
I was just surprised that they were being so obvious about it. And I know in our area (Puget Sound) we have quite a bit of military presence and they're pushing Preparation and Preparedness. They even have one of those little magnetic cards that they've given out with their prepare website/twitter addy.

Whether you're familiar with how insurance works or if this is your first time looking for home insurance, you need to realize that proper information is the key to finding a great deal on a solid package. Check out the tips contained within this article if you want to know how to find the best of both worlds.
When considering home insurance, be sure to check with different providers to see if they have discounts for having multiple policies with them. You may be entitled to quite a discount if you have multiple policies with the same provider, such as home, auto, and life insurance. If they don't offer a discount, ask them why. If you haggle you may get results, otherwise you should consider your options.
When considering insurance for your home, keep in mind that having your mortgage paid off can actually effect your premium amount. Insurance companies will commonly reward you with a lower premium if your mortgage is paid off, because it is generally thought that a home will be better taken care of if it is fully owned.
Evaluate the needs of the homeowner's insurance when you have family since your household diminishes and your valuable material increases over time. It's worth taking a second look at your policy to see if there are coverage limits on things like jewelry and other high-value items. You may want to get other items covered that you did not originally have.
In order to get the best rates on homeowner's insurance, you can save as much as 25% percent by installing smoke detectors and security systems. These are low cost improvements that quickly pay for themselves. Not only are you saving money, you are also keeping your family safe!
Smoke alarms can help you save on your homeowners insurance premiums. With installed smoke alarms, you can save around 10% or more on your annual homeowners insurance premiums. It is possible that if you add more smoke detectors, your insurance agent will further discount your policy. Don't forget to tell your agent about your smoke alarms.
If you were thinking about relocating to another area, this auto insurance tip might just be the icing on the cake. If you are located in an area with a lower crime rate, you will receive favorable coverage and will ultimately pay far less per month than people who live in high-crime areas.
Lower homeowner insurance premiums with a security system. Be sure to choose a system that is monitored from a central location. This gives proof that your home carries a lower risk and allows the insurance company to give you a discount, sometimes of 5 percent or more. Be sure to keep all security system paperwork, as you may be required to provide copies to your insurance company.
What is covered by your policy when you have roommates? There are policies that cover everything on site, and there are other policies that only protect your belongings. Sometimes, you will have to pay for it yourself if you are not covered. Continue reading

The kid gives Santa a carved wooden pickle as a Christmas present.
"How come it's brown?" Santa asks. "Why didn't you paint it green?"
"It isn't painted," the kid says. "That's blood from when I cut my hand while I was making it for you."
Santa is a depressed, alcoholic safecracker. The kid is not one of your cute movie kids, but an intense and needy stalker; think of Thomas the Tank Engine as a member of the Addams Family. Oh, and there's an elf, too, named Marcus. The elf is an angry dwarf who has been working with Santa for eight years, cracking the safe in a different department store every Christmas. The elf is fed up. Santa gets drunk on the job, he's boinking customers in the Plus Sizes dressing room, and whether the children throw up on Santa or he throws up on them is a toss-up, no pun intended.
"Bad Santa" is a demented, twisted, unreasonably funny work of comic kamikaze style, starring Billy Bob Thornton as Santa in a performance that's defiantly uncouth. His character is named Willie T. Soke; W.C. Fields would have liked that. He's a foul-mouthed, unkempt, drunken louse at the beginning of the movie and sticks to that theme all the way through. You expect a happy ending, but the ending is happy in the same sense that a man's doctors tell him he lost his legs but they were able to save his shoes.
There are certain unwritten parameters governing mainstream American movies, and "Bad Santa" violates all of them. When was the last time you saw a movie Santa kicking a department store reindeer to pieces? Or using the f-word more than Eddie Griffin? Or finding a girlfriend who makes him wear his little red hat in bed because she has a Santa fetish? And for that matter, when was the last movie where a loser Santa meets a little kid, and the kid doesn't redeem the loser with his sweetness and simplicity, but attaches himself like those leeches on Bogart in "The African Queen"?
Movie critics have been accused of praising weirdo movies because we are bored by movies that seem the same. There is some justice in that. But I didn't like this movie merely because it was weird and different; I liked it because it makes no compromises and takes no prisoners. And because it is funny.
The director is Terry Zwigoff. He made the great documentary "Crumb," about R. Crumb, the cartoonist who is a devoted misanthrope. (Crumb drew the "American Splendor" comic books about Harvey Pekar, his equal in misanthropy.) Zwigoff also directed the quirky "Ghost World," with its unlikely romantic alliance between a teenage girl (Thora Birch) and a sour 40-ish recluse (Steve Buscemi). This is a director who makes a specialty of bitter anti-social oddballs. That he does it in comedy takes a more guts than doing it in tragedy.
Zwigoff worked from an original screenplay by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra. And what is their track record, you are wondering? They co-wrote "Cats & Dogs" (2001), with its parachuting ninja cats, and their next movie is "Cats & Dogs 2: Tinkle's' Revenge." Maybe many screenwriters who do sweet PG-rated movies like "Cats & Dogs" have a script like "Bad Santa" in the bottom desk drawer, perhaps in a lead-lined box.
When Billy Bob Thornton got the script, he must have read it and decided it would be career suicide. Then he put the script to his head and pulled the trigger. For him to play Hamlet would take nerve; for him to play Willie T. Soke took heroism. Wandering through the final stages of alcoholism, Willie functions only because of the determination of Marcus, who is played by Tony Cox as a crook who considers stealing to be a job and straps on his elf ears every morning to go to work.
Willie and Marcus always use the same MO: They use the Santa gig to get into the store, stay after closing and crack the safe. Alas, this year the store's security chief (Bernie Mac, also ticked off most of the time) is wise to their plan and wants a cut. Because it's in his interest to keep Bad Santa in the store, he doesn't report little incidents like the reindeer-kicking to the store manager, played by the late John Ritter.
Willie becomes distracted by the arrival in his life of Sue (Lauren Graham), the Santa fetishist, who picks him up at a bar. Then there's the kid (Brett Kelly), who sits on his lap, tells him he isn't Santa Claus and then doggedly insists on treating him as if he is. The kid is desperately lonely because his parents are away for reasons we understand better than he does, and he's being looked after by his comatose grandmother (Cloris Leachman). I know, I know; just last week I disapproved of the cruel treatment of the comatose baby-sitter, Mrs. Kwan, in "The Cat in the Hat," and here I am approving of the way they treat the kid's grandmother in "Bad Santa." The difference is (1) This film is funny and that film was not, and (2) That was intended for family audiences, and this one is not.
Is it ever not. I imagine a few unsuspecting families will wander into it, despite the "R" rating, and I picture terrified kids running screaming down the aisles. What I can't picture is, who will attend this movie? Anybody? Movies like this are a test of taste. If you understand why "Kill Bill" is a good movie and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is not, and "Bad Santa" is a good movie and "The Cat in the Hat" is not, then you have freed yourself from the belief that a movie's quality is determined by its subject matter. You instinctively understand that a movie is not about what it is about, but about how it is about it. You qualify for "Bad Santa."

This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

My beautiful Grandma passed away

I am so sad.
My beautiful Grandma passed this morning.
She was a fit, healthy, active 86 year old. Played bridge, still drove, volunteered at the Migrant Resource Centre, still made jam from her fruit trees ...
She had a headache last night whilst playing bridge with a group of friends. They took her to hospital and she had a massive stroke and never recovered. Passed early hours this morning.
I am in shock. She just never looked like she aged, was never sick. Would send me text messages (her hearing wasn't crash hot so it was easier for her to text than talk on the phone).
She is someone who I will always love and admire.
She was a kindergarten teacher who had a beautiful nature.
She taught me all I know about appreciating nature and human diversity. She stood up for what was right in Switzerland during World War 2 (even though Switzerland was neutral, apparently there was definitely Nazi influence creeping in).
I am going to miss her so much.
RIP my beautiful Grossmueti.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 12:09 PM
I am so sorry for your loss. She sounds like she was an amazing woman.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 12:14 PM
So very sorry Indiana.
What wonderful memories you must have.
Keep them close and take care.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 12:15 PM
So sorry OP, must be such a shock. Take care xo
Posted 03 January 2013 - 12:22 PM
She sounds like a fabulous woman.
So sorry, it must be a huge shock to your family.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 12:53 PM

IPS Chudasama`s bail plea rejected in Sohrabuddin case
Ahmedabad: A local court today rejected
interim bail plea of IPS officer Abhay Chudasama, arrested in
the Sohrabuddin Sheikh fake encounter case, agreeing with
CBI`s argument that his release would hamper probe.
Chudasama had applied for interim bail last month to
undergo hip replacement surgery.
Judge G K Upadhyay, while rejecting Chudasama`s plea,
agreed with the CBI`s contention that the accused, if given
bail, would hamper inquiry which was at a very crucial stage.
The Central probe agency further contended that they
have enough proof that Chudasama had earlier tampered with
evidence and influenced witnesses.
The court also disallowed Chudasama from undergoing
surgery at a private hospital. It noted that hip replacement
facility was available at the Government Civil Hospital, and
since Chudasama was an undertrial, he was eligible to receive
treatment as per rules and regulation of the jail.
At one stage during the hearing on the bail plea, CBI
agreed to allow Chudasama to undergo hip replacement at a
private hospital. But the probe agency demanded the IPS
officer should not be allowed to meet anybody accept his
family members and doctors.
Chudasama is one of the four IPS officers held for the
fake encounter of Sheikh, a suspected gangster, and alleged
murder of his wife Kausar Bi in 2005.

PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwired) -- 09/03/14 -- Lithium Exploration Group Inc. (OTCQB: LEXG) today announced that management is in discussion with their technology partners about an expanded relationship as the technology is deployed. Discussions have begun concerning an expanded role in the service and maintenance of technology units in Canada and the potential of expanding the geography outside of Canada to certain regions of the United States. Field testing of both the water and oil units is scheduled to take place in the final quarter of the year. Once those field tests have been completed, the expectation is to immediately have units ready for commercial distribution.
"The field testing is critical for the next steps in deploying the technology. We collectively must prove that these units can not only compete with current technologies but are in fact cheaper to build, cheaper to operate, and have higher output," commented CEO Alex Walsh. "The initial testing in February confirmed this thesis, but it now must be run in the field and independently validated. We have made a significant investment of time and money into this technology because of our belief that it will be revolutionary to the oil and gas industry. Other than the inventor himself, we are the most knowledgeable folks on earth to assist in the ramp up and deployment of the technology. We are working collaboratively with our partners at SonCav (www.soncav.com) to ensure the testing and deployment strategy is a success. Discussions at this point about an expanded role are preliminary, but would potentially be good for LEXG, SonCav, and LEXG shareholders alike."

'Man stole his online date's mobile phone after she refused to buy a round of drinks in expensive central London bar'
- Kishore Nimmala and Fakhara Sultana met at the Ruby Blue Bar in Leicester Square
- He had already spent £54 on two rounds of drinks when he asked her to pay for a third
- As the pair walked to the station, he allegedly stole the woman's white Blackberry
Accused: Kishore Nimmala allegedly stole his date's mobile phone when she refused to pay her way at an expensive London bar
A man stole a woman's mobile phone to 'teach her a lesson' after she refused to buy a round of drinks and said she had expected him to pay for their first date at an expensive London bar, a jury was told.
Kishore Nimmala, 32, had already spent £54 on two rounds of drinks at a stylish Leicester Square nightspot when he asked Fakhara Sultana to pay for a third.
But he lost his temper when she told him she had no money, Southwark Crown Court heard.
The pair left the Ruby Blue bar when Nimmala allegedly become angry and Ms Sultana, whom he had met on online dating website Zoosk, told him she was going home.
As she walked to Charing Cross Underground station, Nimmala is accused of snatching her white Blackberry phone and running off with it.
Helen Thomas, prosecuting, said: 'This case is about a first date that goes badly wrong.
'Ms Sultana informed to defendant that she didn't have any money with her and that she had assumed that he would be paying for the evening.
'At that point the defendant became angry and so their evening together came to an abrupt close.'
The couple then made their way to Charing Cross station with Nimmala allegedly badgering his date for her share of the cash on the way.
Ms Thomas said: 'Mr Nimmala kept saying to her that he wanted the £25 - her share of what he had spent on the evening- and Ms Sultana kept saying that she didn't have any money.'
Hearing: Nimmala denied one count of theft at Southwark Crown Court
The court heard that when Ms Sultana took her phone from her bag, Nimmala 'grabbed it' and ran.
'Ms Sultana screamed after the defendant and ran after him,' said Ms Thomas.
First date: Kishore Nimmala is accused of stealing Fakhara Sultana's mobile phone after a date at the Ruby Blue bar in Leicester Square, pictured
Two police officers, who were on Charing Cross Road, joined the chase and caught up with Nimmala on St Martin's Lane before they witnessed him throw the phone away.
'When asked why he ran away the defendant said "she took my money" adding "I took her phone",' Ms Thomas told jurors.
In police interview Nimmala told officers that he had spent £54 and he 'wanted her to pay her share'.
'He claimed that she was trying to cheat him and when she got her phone out he took it thinking that she would give him her share of the evening,' Ms Thomas said.
'The prosecution case is that the defendant was fed up having shelled out money on a date that was going nowhere and he decided to teach Fakhara Sultana a lesson by stealing her mobile phone out of spite and causing her maximum inconvenience in doing so.'
The court heard that Nimmala does not deny taking the phone without permission, but that the issue is whether or not he did so dishonestly and with the intention to permanently deprive her of the device.
Nimmala from Leyton, east London, denies one count of theft.
The trial continues.

- Sasol (NYSE:SSL): 1H16 net income of R$8.28B
- Revenue of R$84.47B (-15.4% Y/Y)
- Shares -0.1% PM.
- Press Release
Mon, Mar. 7, 8:23 AM
- Sasol (NYSE:SSL) says it will move ahead at a slower pace with its $8.9B chemicals plant planned for Lake Charles, La., because of the slump in oil and chemical prices.
- SSL says the operation of "some smaller derivative units" at the plant that will convert ethane into plastics and other products will start in 2019, after previously expecting to complete the facilities by 2018, and says a review of the project's schedule and cost probably will be completed in the middle of the year.
- The South African company reports a profit of 7.31B rand (~$475M) for H1 of its fiscal year, down 63% Y/Y, as it continued to cut costs in response to lower crude prices, while EPS fell 24% to 24.28 rand, in line with expectations.
- SSL says it is raising its cost-cutting plan to 65B-75B rand from an earlier outlook for 30B-50B rand, as it delays its ethane cracker in Louisiana, cuts back drilling in Canada, and shifts its early focus on gas rather than both oil and gas at the same time at its big expansion in Mozambique.

- Sasol (SSL -4.4%) names Bongani Nqwababa and Stephen Cornell as joint CEOs, effective at the beginning of its next financial year on July 1, 2016.
- Nqwababa is SSL's current CFO, and Cornell is executive VP for international operations.
- The selection follows the announcement in June that President and CEO David Constable would not extend his contract beyond June 30, 2016.

- Mozambique's government awards six licenses to search for oil and gas, including three licenses for offshore blocks to Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) in partnership with Rosneft (OTC:RNFTF), and one to a consortium led by Eni (NYSE:E) that includes Sasol (NYSE:SSL) and Statoil (NYSE:STO), Bloomberg reports.
- The government says the proposed exploration programs have the potential for investments of up to $700M, with the opening of a minimum of 10 wells.
- Mozambique hopes to attract investments to exploit huge gas finds in the offshore northern Rovuma basin that could help turn the country into the world's third-biggest liquefied natural gas exporter in a decade.
Sep. 28, 2015, 12:58 PM
- Huntsman (HUN -23.8%) plunges by nearly 25% following an earnings warning from the company after Friday's market close that lower titanium dioxide pricing, currency headwinds, soft demand in Asia, lower oil prices and a delay in benefits from lower raw material prices will negatively impact Q3 earnings.
- HUN says it also sees lower margins for methyl tertiary butyl ether due to lower oil prices and forecast continued lower MDI urethane component product margins in the Asia Pacific region.
- CEO Peter Huntsman says he is "optimistic about the future" despite the short-term headwinds, and that the company anticipates Q4 adjusted EBITDA similar to Q3 at ~$300M, similar to last year's level; HUN also remains committed to a separation of the pigments and additives business by year-end 2016 or sooner.
- Other chemical companies also are lower: DOW -2.7%, DD -1.7%, EMN -4%, ASH -4.3%, CC -7.6%, KRO -1%, SHLM -3.1%, LYB -4.1%, SSL -4%, OTCQX:BASFY -1.3%.
Sep. 24, 2015, 12:54 PM
- Even as it cuts costs and slashes jobs like its global energy peers, Sasol (SSL -0.2%) is forging ahead with its largest ever project: an $8.9B investment in a U.S. gas processing facility that can produce 1.55M metric tons of ethylene.
- It is a major bet on the U.S. shale gas revolution, and "a defining moment because it's diversifying the company, both in terms of chemicals... and geographically," CEO David Constable tells Financial Times.
- Although SSL has an international presence, it relies on the South African market for more than 80% of its profits, but Constable estimates that 30% of the company's profits will come from Louisiana by the end of the decade if the cracker starts operating in 2018 as planned.
Sep. 8, 2015, 9:17 AM
- Sasol (NYSE:SSL) reports a profit of 29.7B South African rand ($2.14B) for FY 2015 ended June 30, up 0.5% Y/Y, on 8.6% lower revenue of 185.3B rand, in line with expectations, as the company cut costs to cope with lower crude oil prices.
- Average Brent crude oil prices fell 33% from the prior year, but the decrease was partially offset by a 10% weaker average U.S. dollar-to-rand exchange rate over the same period; "as the rand weakens, every $0.10 adds 650M rand to our bottom line," says CEO David Constable.
- The CEO says the company will conserve 30B-50B rand between Jan. 1, 2015 and June 30, 2017, with 8.9B rand conserved in the first six months of this year, which means pulling back on capital projects in addition to buyouts and early retirements; "I think [the moves] will put us in pretty good shape to weather the storm here."
Sep. 1, 2015, 11:59 AM
- Sasol (SSL -3.5%) is looking for contractors to help it become the first commercial oil producer in Mozambique and to extend a gas pipeline that will increase exports to neighboring South Africa.
- SSL, which has produced gas in Mozambique since 2004, proposes building a pipeline across the provinces of Gaza and Inhambane that will feed into supplies to its plants over the border; the planned oil plant would have capacity to produce as much as 15K bbl/day, along with gas and liquid petroleum gas.
- SSL says it will disclose more details once Mozambican authorities approve its field development plan, and it also will offer an update on its projects when it announces full-year results on Sept. 7.
Aug. 7, 2015, 9:01 AM
- Sasol (NYSE:SSL) +3% in London trading after the South African petrochemicals company said its earnings slump will not be as severe as analysts have predicted.
- The world's top producer of motor fuels from coal says in a trading update that adjusted EPS could fall by up to 19%, or 11.43 South African rand ($0.90), when it reports full-year results on Sept. 7, which would equate to EPS of 48.73 rand vs. the 42.51 consensus forecast.
- Citigroup says it views SSL's update as "solid guidance in a challenging pricing environment; reflecting strong operational delivery."
Jul. 1, 2015, 2:59 PM
- Seventeen oil companies, including South African petrochemical company Sasol (NYSE:SSL) and U.K.'s Tullow Oil (OTCPK:TUWLF, OTCPK:TUWOY), have been selected by Uganda's government to bid for six exploration blocks in the country's first competitive oil bidding program.
- The contracts for the blocks will be awarded this year, with the companies going forward from the second round to be announced in August.
- The blocks on offer lie along Uganda's western border with Congo and include at least four lucrative discoveries, relinquished by the existing oil companies this year.
- Last week, Uganda resolved a long standing tax dispute with Tullow, and observers believe energy development in the country will now move faster after years of delays.
Jun. 8, 2015, 7:54 AM
- Sasol (NYSE:SSL) says President/CEO David Constable will not extend his contract for a further term beyond June 30, 2016, and will move into an advisory role; no reason was provided for the decision.
- Constable was appointed to the top job in 2011 and led SSL's expansion plans in southern African and North America.
Apr. 17, 2015, 8:55 AM
- Sasol (NYSE:SSL) says it is evacuating 340 South African employees at its Mozambique operations to their home country, citing concerns that they may be attacked in retribution for violence against foreign workers in South Africa.
- SSL says the evacuation is a "precautionary measure" but that work at one of its sites had been temporarily halted, while others continued operating as normal.
- SSL is the first South African company with operations abroad to take measures to protect employees from the backlash resulting from widespread attacks on foreigners in South Africa.
Mar. 9, 2015, 7:48 AM
- Sasol (NYSE:SSL) says it has cut 1,500 jobs and will further postpone its $14B gas-to-liquid plant in Louisiana in response to low global oil prices.
- SSL also outlines additional policies totaling 30B-50B rand, including cutting 4B-7B rand in cash costs over the next 30 months and then 1B rand annually.
- Reaffirms plans to cut dividends by 12.5% to 7 rand, in a bid to build a cash pile over the next 30 months (earlier).
- The announcement came as SSL's says its net profit rose from 12.71B rand ($1.05B) to 19.54B rand in the six months ending Dec. 31 on revenue of 99.83B rand.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization).

overhall s.s.sounds good to todays deadbeats but lets put facts on the table.the federal government robbed from the s.s.and the working boomers still kept it afloat.the more the boomers paid in the feds took it for other crap!todays workers are being off set with many who dont work and are recieving handouts!they sit on their ass and the feds pay them to do it!between the feds robbing s.s. and the deadbeats not working s.s. is going under.who will be hurt from this?the people who paid into s.s.not the deadbeats?

Stay Off My Social Security Tit
Ive been a SSucker for most of my life and now this Boomer is nursing well. WOW- its such a good tit that I can actually have groceries and a scoop of ice cream. I just cant wait until the New FDR Socialists start a brand new Ponzi scheme.
I have worked over four decades for my SS and I dang well mean to have it. The youngsters can keep on paying and just get in line when theyre very old. They can try to suck the hind-tit, but the Ole sow will be dry by then.
Its too bad for all such youngsters, but the same inviolate reasons which demand for SS-Ponzi to collapse shall ultimately dictate the demise of MC-Ponzi. When the grand MC-Ponzi bubble inflates to unsustainable levels, our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will likewise be defrauded by collapse of Medicare.
It's one thing to participate voluntarily in any Ponzi operation or scheme. But to be a conscripted investor and held captive in both SS-Ponzi and MC-Ponzi, the largest Ponzi operations of Planet Earth is quite another matter.
