Wells Fargo refi is DOA in Oklahoma
EDMOND — Dear Wells Fargo: Thanks for nothing.
My attempt to refinance the house online and by phone was a bust.
No hard feelings, Geoff M. in San Francisco.
Nothing personal, I know, John C. in Des Moines, Iowa.
Y'all are probably good guys, decent people — just tangled up, like so many of us are, in the dark principalities and powers of our time.
I knew that trying to refi was a roll of the dice. But Wells Fargo, your marketing people made it sound so easy to refi, and so likely that I'd qualify.
Month after month, for more than a year, I dutifully called in to make my house payment, and a nice-sounding person on a recording would say something like: "Hey, friend! Our records show that you might be a candidate to refinance!"
So, I took the plunge — almost by accident, you made it so easy. Before long, y'all had my credit score, which was within two points of what Geoff told me was the no-way cut-off point. But the score was on the doable side of the line.
And y'all decided you'd rather not do.
Your Notice of Action Taken and Statement of Reasons said: "We have carefully considered your credit application and sincerely regret that we are unable to approve your application at this time for the reason(s) listed below."
OK. And the box next to this was checked (by hand, in blue ink, a nice touch): "Excessive obligations in relation to income."
Oh, do tell! My less-than-stellar credit score might have suggested that. On the other hand, it also suggests that I'm making it all work, despite some financial setbacks that put my credit score so close to the no-way cut-off point in the first place.
If you did the math, you saw that making the loan would enable me to pay off the second mortgage, as I'd planned, eliminating a big chunk of monthly debt. And you saw that refinancing from a mortgage at 6.5 percent to a new one at 3.5 percent — the one you teased me with — would reduce my monthly obligations even more.
In other words: My situation, while not ideal, was not that bad, considering; and refinancing would have improved my situation as a borrower, therefore improving your situation as a lender.
But you decided: Naaah.
Back in 2000, when Wells Fargo acquired Norwest Mortgage (which granted the original loan in 1999), I wrote:
"See, I feel like I know Wells Fargo. I don't, of course. The conglomerate barely resembles the company Henry Wells and William Fargo founded in 1852 in San Francisco. Their aim was to provide banking and express service to Western pioneers. 'Wells Fargo' — the name sings: grit, determination, integrity."
Well, two out of three ain't bad. Grit and determination have left y'all smelling sweeter than lots of others in the wake of the global financial crisis. But not that sweet, because of forces that appear dark or light to us depending on where we are in the lending lowerarchy.
Wells Fargo, you just agreed to pay $766 million and set aside $1.2 billion to actually finally help struggling homeowners, to settle charges of wrongly foreclosing on people. And you just reported record earnings for the fourth quarter of last year.
Now, I know you didn't get where you are by being overly concerned about individual borrowers, your marketing people's sweet wooing notwithstanding — otherwise, you wouldn't have been foreclosing on people who didn't warrant it. And you wouldn't now be forced to do the right thing and help borrowers who are in trouble.
Everybody knows it's all about numbers. My mortgage is not in trouble, and while it would have been good and right, you weren't forced to work with me. So you didn't. I'm just one of the numbers.
Nothing personal, I know. It's business. Not personal. Business. Not personal.
Principalities and powers of credit and underwriting on your end. All flesh and blood on mine.

The beneficiary designation forms on file with the financial institution holding an IRA--not a will--controls who gets it. If no form is on file, the institution's default policy, spelled out in the custodial agreement, applies. Most default to the estate; some, such as Vanguard Group and Ameriprise, award it first to a living spouse, then to the estate. The policy for a company plan, such as a 401(k) or a 403(b), may be more liberal.

Trophy Scars release demo
Sounds cool so far. Is the album coming out this year? That would be really great.
This is my favorite band to listen at a bar.
Yeah, this and Tom Waits.
Ha, sweet.
In other news:
Anyone who hates Jerry Jones' voice will FUCKING HATE IT HERE!
Good thing I'm not one of those people.
@dolving where the fuck are you drinking that plays trophy scars? it'd be great party music imo but i have like 2 friends that like the vocals
Sounds awesome, and it's just a rough mix.
jdennis, small bar which is owned by friends, so they lemme put songs I like sometimes.
That's really cool. I would die (well, not literally) for a bar around here which plays this kind of music.
Sounds interesting. Not really much to go on.
And now we wait for a influx of 5's.
never really found this band that enthralling
Can't wait for the new album.
I smell a grammy
jizzing already and haven't even heard the song
can't wait to get home from work TS is my all time favorite band
awe yeee
Cant wait for the full album
i love this band so so so much
new album will be all i've ever wanted in life
they can never top Bad Luck...
but stoked nonetheless
His voice is actually finding its niche here imo. Not super keen on this song but excited for the album nonetheless.
It's pretty clear the front man isn't vocally tallented, but I guess people like it?
holy hype parade.
That was a pretty good 1 and a half minute sample though.
Digging: Seaside - Undone
is vocally tallented based on how well you sing given your height?
guy has been working on that sound for like 10 years now. i can't really see someone just being able to outright emulate that sound, and to me that takes some talent.
sounding like waits is his dream, and I am not opposed
They said they picked an especially unexciting sample for the intro of this demo, which I find hilarious
dat Superbad sample
Post-hardcore darlings
I always hated that term
the benchmark of shitty music journalism
I love his voice
nuff sed
I thought la dispute was the post-hardcore DARLINGS!
it's weird that i have to re-adjust myself to his voice again, but I'm excited for this. Darkness and NBND have really grown on me.
The last part was fun. Will the album sound like Alphabet. Alphabets.?
anyone know when this new album is coming out?
Glad people are getting their panties in a wad that I used the word 'darlings', because it's even a bigger deal than you may imagine

The Hunger Magazine Wired editorial features model Danny Arter being photographed by Trish Ward. The editorial is inspired by Austrian painter Egon Schiele whose works are noted for their intensity and twisted body shapes.
Indeed, the editorial does justice to Schiele's work. Arter poses in awkward and contorted positions with a sharpness and intensity that can be seen throughout his body. The styling by Scott Robert Clark is reminiscent of Tom Ford at times, but compliments the broody mood of the editorial well. The strange and twisted shapes and imagery of the photo series is balanced by a dark beauty that is also in the same vein as Egon Schiele's work.
The editorial can be found in the latest issue of Hunger Magazine, a bi-annual magazine which explores arts, fashion and culture.

Training on Developing Stress-resilient Maize at CIM-MYT-Hyderabad, India
K. Seetharam and P.H. Zaidi
A training course on developing stress-resilient maize for early-/mid-career maize breeders from national programs, agricultural universities and seed companies, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), was held at CIMMYT-Hyderabad, India, on 15 May 2015. The course was open to partners in the Heat Tolerant Maize for Asia (HTMA) project and members of the International Maize Improvement Consortium (IMIC-Asia). It covered key aspects of precision phenotyping, including enhancing precision of field trials, managing adequate levels of stress to express available genotypic variability, using advanced tools to capture data efficiently and precision in recording various traits in phenotyping trials.

New Calif budget relies on rosy economic outlook
SACRAMENTO, Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown signed a budget just before the start of California's new fiscal year, a rare on-time package that includes a contingency plan to cut schools and community colleges deeper if rosy revenue projections don't materialize.
Brown, a Democrat, signed an $86 billion general fund spending plan Thursday with a combination of spending cuts and fee hikes after it was passed by majority Democrats without Republican support. The governor also issued line-item vetoes to cut back on local transit and trial court spending.
The latest budget includes cuts to higher education, welfare, health care for the poor and disabled, in-home supportive services, state parks and other core functions of government. In signing the budget, Brown said general fund spending is at its lowest level since the 1972-73 fiscal year when measured as a share of the state's economy.
Yet the budget also relies on optimistic projections that tax revenue will be about $12 billion higher in the coming fiscal year than projected in January, largely because the wealthy are doing so well.
On Thursday, Brown's finance director, Ana Matosantos, said the administration felt the forecast was reasonable because the state's cash flow was coming in higher than revenue projections, mainly due to gains among upper-income residents. Should the money not materialize, however, the administration made clear that more cuts would be made during the middle of the fiscal year.
If revenue projections fall short by $2 billion or more, then school districts would be authorized to reduce their school year by seven days. Community colleges would take another hit on top of cuts enacted in the new budget.
If revenues fall short by more than $1 billion, universities, local libraries, in-home support programs and various other services would be cut.
Democrats did insert a provision preventing school districts from laying off more teachers. Matosantos said the state was trying to prevent school districts from acting on the so-called trigger cuts before it was necessary.
"If the claim is that we went out of our way to avoid further additional teacher layoffs - guilty," said Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento.
Democrats acted for the first time under a voter-approved law that allows budget to be passed on a simple majority, rather than a two-thirds vote.
Lawmakers also were motivated to complete a deal because the same law halted their salaries and living expenses until they passed a balanced budget - a penalty that cost each of them nearly $5,000 and saved taxpayers $583,200 over 12 days, according to the controller's office.
Cuts enacted Thursday and this spring will affect nearly every aspect of California government, from universities and state parks to in-home services for the elderly and mothers trying to work their way off welfare.
"We really have some retrenchment here across a wide spectrum of important government services," Brown said before signing the budget bills behind closed doors. "These are really hard decisions, and going forward Californians are going to have to think hard about what we want from our universities, from our police and sheriffs, from our safety net for the most vulnerable."
While California has a spending plan for its new fiscal year, Brown has warned that the state will continue to have ongoing deficits unless it can find a way to bring its annual tax revenue in line with spending obligations. The Democratic governor was unable to renew several expiring tax increases but has vowed to fight for more tax revenue at the ballot box next year to help the state pay down debt and restore education funding.
The spending plan projects a $3.1 billion shortfall for the fiscal year that will begin July 1, 2012.

If you search for the pitchers with the top xFIPs, it's a who's who of the league's finest. It's not quite as glamorous as the Who's Who of Western Appalachian High School Students that your parents paid $25 for you to get your picture in, but it's still pretty illustrious. Kershaw on top, then Salazar, F-Her, Gerrit, Carrasco, Pineda, Archer, Shields, Scherzer, Harvey and Lynn. If your pitching staff was just those guys, you may not be currently winning your pitching categories, but you will by the end of the year, or your money back1. Right after Lynn in the list is Clay Buchholz, then after him it continues to be purdy: Arrieta, Kluber, Lester and so on2. Out of all of those pitchers, Kershaw, Shields and Salazar are the only ones with a better K-rate with Buchholz's at 11.5. 11.5 K/9 is excellent and is the 4th best in the majors. Buchholz's walk rate isn't bad either at 2.87 — under 3 is solid. Under three walk rate with an 11.5 K/9 is an ace. Only thing is, his ERA is 6.03. Oopsie! Right now, his BABIP is .407. A .407 BABIP is basically the equivalent to an easy grounder is headed right to a fielder, but the ball is grabbed by a possum and the possum runs the ball around the infield for five minutes as the hitter goes around the bases for an inside-the-parker. If Buchholz is available in your league, I'd absolutely grab him, and could even see trading for him in deeper leagues9.
1You just need to sell my Jose Canseco Sportsflics rookie card to get that money back.
2Yes, I said so on rather than list Bartolo Colon3.
3Yes, by footnoting Bartolo Colon I am sorta listing him4.
4My autocorrect wanted to change sorta to Sorat. Is that Borat's sister5?

Re: should redo the test target/procedure from scratch
it's not tiny and it's simple and straightforward if you know it.
I understand there are often issues related to spent time/budget, etc. and I suggest adding a 16:9 frame which will justify the incremental work and we don't have to blame anyone whose good work can be reused.

Should i update firmware 1.97 to 2.30 ? if there a benifit to keep old firmware?
Should i update firmware 1.97 to 2.30 ? if there a benifit to keep old firmware?
If you play online and use the PS Store, then you may wish to update. If you don't, then I would recommend holding off... unless you can think of another reason to update such as using it for DivX etc. Personally I wouldn't update a $400+ console to run DivX when you can buy a $40 stand-alone to do it or use the PC though.
Most sceners keep their PS3 Firmware as low as possible (1.50 or below), for no reason other than hoping a hole in one of the early versions will become public which will allow them to run PS3 homebrew and backups.
Additionally, most PS3 Devs are keeping their PS3 Firmware below 2.10 as that is the revision where Sony plugged the RSX hole. If you do update and can solder, consider installing an Infectus Mod to backup your PS3's flash first. Hope this helps.
If you wanna play online update.
You can do it calmly, if is slightly surely he will become a downgrade
thank you guy i just gonna keep it the old firmware
if u keep the old firmware u wont be able to play the new games u have to update first in order to play theme
You wont be able to play online with your old firmware, but if you want to play without internet it will be ok to keep it. as far as i know even the new games does not require an update to play without internet
Yes, it will be surely a downgrade package, so you can do it without regrets.
Given that there hasn't been any headway yet you can't say that for sure.
As has been said before there are pro's and con's to upgrading. The choice is yours to make!
in my personal opinion, until something solid in the hacking scene comes out and says that u shouldnt update then just update all u like, but only if you want the extra features, but if u dont just use ps3proxy found in the downloads section.

Dream Day Wedding Viva Las Vegas Cheats
Hasn't your mother or teacher told you it isn't nice to cheat? If they haven't, maybe it is high time for you to find this out, and it is true no matter the aspect of your life where you cheat: at school, in your love life, or even in a game -virtual, on-line or card/ board game. Why it isn't nice to cheat?
<-336x280 Large Rectangle - center->
Because it takes away from the fun of the game and winning won't feel the same way if you cheat. But if you have already decided to do it, here are some tips -at least do it right, and only do it in the game. No cheating is allowed in real life!
The cheats can be considered the walk-through guides, or tips which can be found all over the Internet. One such website with tips for the game "Dream Day Wedding: Viva Las Vegas" can be found here. This website contains a guide as well as some tips, represented by the images which are meant to further help the cheater out. Another website with cheating tips and a guide is this one. The images provided are meant to show the right way so that you make sure that you did everything correctly, or in case you forgot something somewhere.
At this point, you know where to search for help if you ever get stuck while playing this game -as in not being able to get to the next level or task. For such purposes it is more than OK to seek help, because playing a game and not being able to finish it is not fun either. Also, one last tip: do not go to websites that claim to have cheat codes for this game, because more than likely they will require you to pay for them, and you might not even get them, or they might not work, or worse, get a virus.

According to the pictures I have seen the two seem to be very very similar... without the sign on it I could not tell which is Sirui or which is Benro.... that goes down to the bag
I own a Sirui N-2204 and I am very confident with it...

At some point last night we must have had a blip in our power, as the stove clock was blinking like it would had their been... a blip in the power.
When I came into my office this morning, my desktop computer was powered down and would not turn on. Cracking the case, I can see a small blue blinking light on the front right corner of the motherboard. Unplugging the power from the PSU causes the blinking to stop. Plugging in the power causes the blinking to resume.
Pressing the power button does nothing.
Does anyone know what this blinking blue light means?
I'm mostly curious now if it's the motherboard that has gone bad, or the power supply.
I don't have any other desktop parts to use to troubleshoot these components.
Any ideas?
My motherboard is an XFX NFORCE 680I SLI INTEL SOCKET 775 DDR2 ( Model #: MB-N680-ISH9 )

From Vertex42: This Annuity Calculator is a simple spreadsheet by Vertex42.com that is useful for retirement planning. It simulates a situation where a person makes regular withdrawals from an account that is earning interest. The calculations are based on general finance theory, so it might not apply to the various types of "insurance" annuities. However, it can be used to calculate the payout for some types of Immediate Annuities. It also allows you to enter an annual inflation rate to simulate the case where you want to increase the amount that you withdraw each year (to keep up with rising expenses for example). The spreadsheet contains a second worksheet tab (not shown in the screenshot) that can help run some simple calculations to solve for different values. For example, you might want to solve for the Principal (or nest egg) required to allow you to withdraw $2000 per month for 20 years. The formulas are explained in detail on the official author page (see the Help link in the spreadsheet).

Southern Gardening: Bald cypress, Japanese maple, magnolias excel
Even though fall is the ideal time, it's still not too late to plant nice trees into our Mississippi gardens and landscapes. Of course I can't list every tree in this column, but I want to draw your attention to a few I'm sure you won't be disappointed to have in your yard.
The first is the bald cypress. You may think it has to be planted in soggy locations, but this tree is very adaptable. Some of the best specimens I have seen were being grown in very high and dry locations such as islands in parking lots and planting wells in sidewalks.

Top 'Value' Investor Launches Own Funds
One of the leading value-stock investors of the late 1990s is returning to mutual funds.
David Marcus, who co-managed many of Franklin Resources Inc BEN 0.89 % 's Mutual Series funds, has launched his own funds, which will use a go-anywhere approach, mixing bonds and stocks and using short-selling strategies when appropriate.
Mr. Marcus, 44 years old, said that with the fund industry moving toward narrower offerings, his funds should have a broad appeal.
"I really believe you can take care of the man in the street and the pension fund and everyone in-between," he said, adding that he wanted to "offer investors something they're not getting."
Mr. Marcus's new firm, Evermore Global Advisors, has launched two mutual funds, Evermore Global Value Fund (ticker symbol: EVGBX) and Evermore European Value Fund (EVEAX). Each fund will hold about 40 securities, he said, and hold onto them for a number of years. The typical holding period will be two to four years, and sometimes longer.
Mr. Marcus's former boss at Mutual Series, Michael Price, is on Evermore's advisory board, along with former Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Harvey Pitt and Michael Lipper, founder of the Lipper fund-research firm.
"They're not involved in managing the funds, but believe me, we seek their advice on many issues," Mr. Marcus said.
Mr. Marcus was at Mutual Series from 1987 to early 2000, and was schooled in value investing by Mr. Price. By the time he left he was manager or co-manger of three Mutual Series funds, and oversaw more than $14 billion in assets.
In the following decade, Mr. Marcus founded and ran two hedge funds, and also started a family office to oversee the affairs of Sweden's Stenbeck family.
His return to mutual funds comes at a time that several hedge-fund operators are also opening mutual funds. AQR Capital Management LLC debuted its seventh mutual fund in January. Last year, Legg Mason Inc. LM 1.13 % 's Permal Group, which provides funds-of-hedge-funds, set up a mutual fund.
Mutual Series, founded in 1949 by Max Heine, has grown to an eight-mutual-fund roster with more than $50 billion under management. Franklin bought it in 1996. The Mutual Series funds have been pivotal in establishing the strategy known as deep value investing. Managers using this approach often buy stocks that are facing peril and so are priced cheaply.
In keeping with his Mutual Series roots, Mr. Marcus said he'll invest in securities that are priced cheaply but which have a catalyst—a reason for believing their stock price will soon rise. As an example he pointed to his investment in Bollore, led by French financier Vincent Bollore. Among its holdings, the firm has stakes in ports, railways and media companies across the globe. Mr. Marcus estimates its stock is trading at 45% discount to the value of its assets.
Legg Mason Plans
'Active' ETFs, Too
Another giant of the mutual-fund industry will compete in the exchange-traded fund business.
Legg Mason Inc. has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to seek clearance to offer actively managed ETFs—funds aiming to capitalize on the skill of its stock and bond pickers.
Legg follows other asset managers including T. Rowe Price Group Inc. TROW 0.61 % and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., GS 0.61 % which have also filed recently to offer ETFs, a process that can take months.
A Legg Mason spokeswoman said it is too early to say precisely what the company's ETF lineup will look like. It is likely to design its funds around new strategies, she says, rather than trying to create an ETF "clone of Bill Miller's fund," a reference to Legg's best-known asset manager.
While competitors, including T. Rowe Price, have also focused efforts primarily on active ETFs, the strategy is risky one. Active ETFs first appeared about two years ago but haven't caught on with investors in a significant way.

Money-Market Deadline
Amendments meant to make the $3.3 trillion money-market-fund industry more resilient will take effect May 5.
The Securities and Exchange Commission posted the final amendments, which it says offer additional shareholder protections, to its Web site Tuesday with the effective spring date. However, the posting also lists various compliance dates for the amendments, giving funds extra time to meet some requirements, such as disclosing certain portfolio information on a public Web site and to the commission.
In staggering the compliance dates, the SEC appears to be making an effort to accommodate the funds' normal schedule of meetings and oversight, said Peter Crane, president of Crane Data LLC.
Money-market funds must comply with amendments related to portfolio quality, maturity, liquidity and repurchase agreements by May 28. Funds aren't required to dispose of portfolio securities they own or terminate repurchase agreements already entered at that time, however. They must meet the new requirements for maximum weighted-average maturities and weighted-average life limits for their portfolios by June 30.
"There was some speculation that the maturity and liquidity provisions would be pushed out to later this year to coincide with potential interest-rate hikes, but this means that most of the changes will likely go into effect before the Fed starts hiking rates," said Mr. Crane. "So money funds could feel that bite a little bit."
Funds must post portfolio information as required under the amendments on a public Web site by Oct. 7. "This should provide each fund sufficient time to revise its information and other systems to ensure that required information is accurately posted and maintained on its website," the SEC said.
In addition, funds must begin filing portfolio information, as required under the amendments, to the SEC no later than Dec. 7.
Funds must disclose by Dec. 31 the designated ratings agencies they will look to when they are required to consider credit ratings. The additional time should permit fund boards to evaluate and designate ratings agencies without the need to call a special board meeting, the SEC statement said.
They must be able to process transactions at prices other than a stable $1 net asset value no later than Oct. 31, 2011. "Systems personnel will be pleased that they have a little time to deal with that nasty issue," said Mr. Crane.
Overall, money funds aren't likely to be surprised by the schedule, he said. "They were gearing up for it anyhow. I think money funds are resigned to their fate at this point."

Title says it all. My DH spends money like it's going out of style. We don't have much, and what little left over we have he spends immediately on himself (a new $60 video game) or on something frivolous for the kids so at the end of the month (like today) we're short on rent or whatever else. If I dare to say anything to him he flips out and acts like a complete baby, like I'm robbing him of his only happiness if I ask him to make sacrifices. I try to cut things like the cable bill or our grocery bill or get him to cut back on smoking and he's all "These are the only luxuries we have, our lives are miserable so we neeeeeed cable".
WTF are you talking about? We have Netflix. Neither of us are ever even home to watch TV. We don't use our home phone (we both have cell phones that are pay as you go at $35/month) and the only thing we NEED is internet because I work from home. I could go into the office if we cut internet but this saves us money on gas and alot of stress since he works nights and it's easier for him to just be able to leave when he needs rather than waiting on me to get back from the office.
He complains that I only go grocery shopping "for me" since I don't buy meat. He's home one night per week for dinner and usually orders in or goes grocery shopping on his own to make a meal on Sunday nights. Whenever he does buy meat it sits and goes bad in the fridge. A complete waste. I can do so much more with quinoa and black beans from the bulk aisle and some frozen veggies.
Well this month we are once again short on rent...it's $1250 due tomorrow and we have $1324 in the bank. Yesterday we had $1342 and that was tight as it is, but he needed to buy cigarettes, energy drinks and gas. Now he's on his way home and we just got into a huge fight because he decided to order takeout (Indian food at $50 a pop) I freaked out on him obviously. We have very little money left for the week, we'll need it for gas and formula and bare neccessities groceries to get us through the week. This asshole goes out and buys chicken tikka masala, and then cries like I'm some horrible overbearing mom when I tell him that's selfish.
He hung up saying "FINE! I won't go get it! I thought we could have a nice meal together but I guess that's too much to ask!!"
You know what, it IS too much to ask. I would never go out and spend $50 on myself FOR ANYTHING without consulting him first because we are THAT broke and he regularly goes "Well, we're going to come up short anyway, so fuck it."
How am I supposed to deal with this? He simply refuses to compromise. I'm sitting here eating rice and beans every day and drinking 4 cups of coffee a just to get through the week, I have holes in my shoes, all the zippers are broken in my work pants and I'm pushing 1500 miles over my last oil change but he can go out and treat himself to expensive dinners and $6 Red Bulls and $10 cigarettes like he doesn't have a care in the world?
RAH. Rant. Sorry I know this is ridiculous, the only way to solve it is to say some harsh things and make him realize what sacrifice means, but he is just so stubborn and selfish he won't see it from my perspective. I hate being poor, but I hate having a partner that I can't rely on even more.

Hitachi Sumitomo Heavy Industries Construction Crane Co., Ltd.
|Hitachi Sumitomo Heavy Industries Construction Crane Co., Ltd. Patent applications
|Patent application number
|Cylinder Retraction System, Boom Device and Crawler Crane - A cylinder retraction system causes a crawler side frame hoisting hydraulic cylinder, swingably suspended on a ventral surface side of a lower boom, to swing between a retracted attitude, in which the hydraulic cylinder is set along a ventral surface of the lower boom, and an operating attitude in which the hydraulic cylinder is oriented along a vertical direction. As the rod of the hydraulic cylinder, currently having the operating attitude, is contracted by a predetermined extent, the rod front end of the hydraulic cylinder is guided by the guiding portion until the hydraulic cylinder takes on the retracted attitude. As the hydraulic cylinder, currently having the retracted attitude, is extended by a predetermined extent, engagement between the rod front end of the hydraulic cylinder and the guiding portion is released so as to allow the hydraulic cylinder to take on the operating attitude.
|Construction Machinery - A lower spreader of a construction machinery has a width smaller than a width of the front leg member; and a plurality of lower sheaves at the lower spreader includes at least; a first lower sheave at which the derricking rope let out from the derricking drum is first wound; a second lower sheave, disposed on a side where a fixed end of the derricking rope at which the derricking rope is fastened is located, at which the derricking rope is wound last; and a third lower sheave, disposed between the first lower sheave and the second lower sheave or at a position adjacent to either the first lower sheave or the second lower sheave, at which the derricking rope, running from an upper sheave among the plurality of upper sheaves at the upper spreader is wound so as to run toward another upper sheave at the upper spreader.
|Construction Machinery Body - A construction machinery body includes: a main frame; a gantry that is derrickably linked to the main frame, and includes a front leg member and a rear leg member that is linked to the front leg member at a front end side; a connecting member that is disposed between one end portion and another end portion of the front leg member in the gantry, and includes a connecting portion and a rope attaching portion; and a coupling member that links the connecting portion of the front leg member to the main frame in a state where the gantry is retracted.
|Winch Braking Device - A winch braking device includes: a brake; a brake pedal; a reaction force-imparting element that imparts a reaction force to the brake pedal; a rotation link that rotates by interlocking with the foot operation at the brake pedal; a brake valve linked to the rotation link, that applies a secondary pressure to the brake in response to the foot operation at the brake pedal; and a tension spring, with one end thereof attached to the vehicle body at a predetermined position and another end thereof attached to the rotation link, that applies a force to the brake pedal along a direction opposite a direction of the foot operation. As the foot operation is performed at the brake pedal, the tension spring extends and a shortest distance between a rotational center of the rotation link and a central axis of the tension spring becomes smaller.
|Control Device For Hydraulic Winch - A control device for a hydraulic winch includes: a hydraulic source; a variable-displacement hydraulic motor; a winch operation member; an accelerator operation quantity detection unit; an engine control unit; a rotation speed detection unit; a line pull detection unit; a condition decision unit; and a motor displacement control unit, wherein: once the condition decision unit decides that the fuel-efficient, high-speed operation condition has been established, the engine control unit sets an upper limit to the engine rotation speed at a predetermined rotation speed, lower than the maximum rotation speed.
|Counterweight Suspension Device and Mobile Crane - A counterweight suspension device includes: a pair of suspension cylinders that suspends a counterweight, and that are hung from a first and a second hanging points provided separately in a left and right direction at a top end of a rear mast; a coupling member that couples cylinder rod ends of the pair of suspension cylinders with each other; a lifting member for lifting the counterweight, that connects a first and a second connection points of the counterweight with each of the cylinder rod ends of the pair of suspension cylinders, with the first and the second connection points provided separately in the left and right direction on the counterweight for attaching the lifting member to the counterweight; a first communication circuit through which rod chambers of the pair of suspension cylinders communicate with each other; and a second communication circuit through which bottom chambers of the pair of suspension cylinders communicate with each other.
|Rotating Superstructure and Crane - A rotating superstructure includes: a front block on which a power unit that includes a prime mover; and a rear block on which a unit for raising and lowering a boom that includes a winch, a, and an arm. And the rotating superstructure is configured to be split into the front block and the rear block.
|Installation Device for Counterweight - A counterweight installation device includes: a weight support unit provided on a rear end of a body frame of a construction machine; a weight mounting unit disposed on a counterweight; a pin member for mounting the counterweight adapted to move between a first position at which the weight mounting unit is mounted on the weight support unit and a second position at which the weight mounting unit is dismounted from the weight support unit; and a rod device, one end of which is linked with the pin member and an other end of which extends so as to project to an outside of the counterweight, adapted to move the pin member between the first position and the second position by operation at the other end thereof.

A Walk on the Wilder Side
"No good deed goes unpunished." That famous quip was coined by Billy Wilder. Well, no good life goes unprofiled. Day to Day has a fabulous piece on the Austrian-born director today, what would have been his 100th birthday.
Even people who think they hate old movies love Billy Wilder films. He directed Some Like It Hot, Sunset Boulevard and Witness for the Prosecution. Oh, and Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend and The Apartment, the last of which earned him Oscars for writing, producing and directing.
Wilder wrote the screenplay for one of my all-time favorite screwball comedies, Ball of Fire.
The seethingly beautiful Barbara Stanwyck plays a burlesque queen named Sugarpuss O'Shea, who falls madly in love with Gary Cooper as a buttoned-down lexicographer. Here's how Wilder — for whom English was not even a first language — has Sugarpuss express her adoration:
I love him because he's the kind of guy who gets drunk on a glass of buttermilk, and I love the way he blushes right up over his ears. I love him because he doesn't know how to kiss, the jerk!

May 24, 2016
LANSING, Mich. -- State officials say Michigan's jobless rate continues to fall, dropping slightly to 10.3 percent in March.
The Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth reported Wednesday that the seasonally adjusted jobless rate fell a tenth of a percentage point in a month and 3 percentage points over the past year.
Michigan remains above the national rate of 8.8 percent.
A state official says Michigan's labor market show steady improvement over the first three months of 2011, with the state's work force stabilizing after declining throughout most of 2010.
The number of private sector payroll jobs has increased by 98,000 since March 2010, up 3.1 percent. But public sector jobs have been lost, so the total increase in jobs is 79,000, up 2.1 percent.

Defend the meaning
Something lies within dangerous resolve
And you're searching for it
Lost in your head without knowing
Alone with questions, begin to reason
Exposure to a life without sin
Photographs remind us how it was
Beware what you are, be aware what you are
Beware what you are, be aware what you are
A love burning down
Our big house by the river
Eternally chasing the bliss of abandon
Those dirty little freaks take pieces of you
I sing myself to sleep, I sing myself
Beware what you are, be aware what you are
Beware what you are, be aware what you are
Forget what you stand for, it's meaningless
Answers to nothing, defy everyone
You keep it all inside, let nothing out

The following information was provided in a 6 February 1998 telephone interview with an information agent at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Ontario.
There are no direct flights from Peshawar, Pakistan, to Terminal-1 of Pearson Airport in Toronto, nor to any of its other terminals. A "direct flight" is a non-stop flight in which the airplane may stop for refuelling purposes but does not pick up other passengers: in other words, passengers embark in Peshawar and disembark at Pearson. A person travelling from Peshawar to Pearson Airport would have to connect to another flight. The airline with which the person flies will determine the connection and the terminal at Pearson at which the plane will land. She added that the number of possible connections is "limitless."
The information agent stated that there are, however, direct flights from Karachi to Terminal-2 of Pearson Airport with Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.

9 Big Differences Between The Life Of Pi Movie And Book
By Jessica Rawden 2012-11-21 16:46:57 comments
Pi never really manages to tame Richard Parker. In Martels book, Pi uses his zoo knowledge and understanding of circus practices to mostly train the large adult Bengal tiger. In the movie, while the boy and the tiger maintain a wary distrust of one another, Pi never truly feels in control. The biggest moment that defines Richard Parker and Pis relationship is the tigers prusten noisewhich signals non-aggression--and that moment is completely gone in the film.

Final Design began in 2013 on the future reconstruction and widening of the Northeastern Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-476) north of the Lansdale Interchange to north of Clump Road between mileposts A31 and A38. The seven-mile project corridor traverses Lower Salford, Franconia and Salford Townships in Montgomery County.
This section of the Turnpike will be completely reconstructed from the ground up and widened from two lanes in each direction with limited shoulders to three lanes in each direction with 12-foot right and left shoulders. The overhead bridges along the project corridor are only wide enough to accommodate the current roadway width, so they need to be replaced before the mainline Turnpike widening can occur. Construction on the Overhead Bridges began in the spring of 2013, and construction on the mainline Turnpike is expected to begin in Fall 2016.
An Open House Plans Display was held on April 11, 2013 to introduce the Preliminary Design Plans to the Public.

Fletcher Allen changing nameJune 20,2014
BURLINGTON — Fletcher Allen Health Care, Vermont's largest hospital, is planning to change its name to The University of Vermont Medical Center this fall, officials said Thursday.
The new name is a brand strategy intended to reflect the tie with UVM and collaboration among hospitals, officials said.
"The new name reflects our teamwork — today and for the months and years to come," said Fletcher Allen President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. John Brumsted.
Fletcher Allen Partners, which is made up of four hospitals in Vermont and northern New York, will change its name to The University of Vermont Health Network.
As part of the name change, Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin will use its name together with The University of Vermont Health Network. CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh, New York, will become Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital and use that name in conjunction with The University of Vermont Health Network, as will Elizabethtown Community Hospital in New York.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Former gubernatorial candidate Dan Feliciano plans to run for state auditor as a...

About two weeks ago, the YWCA Clark County got a sky-is-falling memo from one of its primary funding partners — the State of Washington's Department of Social and Health Services.
Get ready for serious cuts to your grant-funded domestic violence program, the memo said. You should come up with a plan to reduce the program's costs by 25 percent on January 1, 2012, and an additional 50 percent on July 1.
That message went out to all state-funded domestic violence programs. The YWCA Clark County's SafeChoice program includes domestic violence shelters, counselors, educators and other staff — a total of 22 people in all, according to SafeChoice director Debra Adams. The total amount at risk in Clark County approaches $250,000, Adams said.
Adams said she is looking at layoffs of the best possible people at the worst possible time. Economic stress and unemployment lead to family stress, she said, and that's when a community needs services like violence prevention, intervention and shelters the most. The Y is the only local agency dedicated to this kind of work, she said.
Y employees "are committed, they are passionate, they are really dedicated to what they do," said Adams. "This is going to be devastating to the community because it's going to affect the number of people we can serve."
It's also coming on the heels of the Y's summer decision to close one day per week in order to cut costs and save on staff time. The dedication of Y employees was such that employees were regularly logging more hours than they were scheduled to work, program director Natalie Wood said. The Y's doors are now closed Fridays, although some programs are still operating that day.
Now, the Y has received word from the state DSHS that it's proposing to cut a total of $4.7 million from the state's annual $6.1 million domestic violence shelter program, plus $83,000 from the domestic violence prevention program (aimed at underserved communities). That's in advance of a special legislative session Gov. Chris Gregoire has called for Nov. 28 — when a biennial state budget shortfall of $1.4 billion must be closed.
"The battered women's movement is about 40 years old," Adams said. "We have been building it all this time, and we've developed some specialized services that we hate to see slip away now." Those specialized services include things like language translators, outreach and counseling for sexual minorities, and sex-abuse prevention and education programs for children.
Y executive director Sherri Bennett said huge numbers of sexually abused boys become abusers as they grow up, and girls continue to be victims — so the loss of education and prevention dollars would be tragic, she said.
No numbers are final yet, but Bennett said the state has assured domestic violence shelter providers that big cuts are definitely coming.
"This is the most significant round of cuts we've ever faced," Bennett said. Add the fact that important partner services are also on the chopping block — public transit, mental health help, welfare payments, law enforcement dedicated to domestic violence intervention — and the picture starts to look desperate, indeed, Bennett said.
She said the Y and other local state-funded service providers will attend a Town Hall-style meeting convened by DSHS secretary Susan Dreyfuss from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Thursday at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site artillery barracks, 600 Hatheway Road.
According to its most recent annual report, just over $2 million of the Y's 2010 income of $3 million came from government grants. The SafeChoice program represents 36 percent of its expenses, sheltering 10 to 15 people at any given time — and it's always full, Adams said. The Y logged 53,418 individual contacts with people affected by domestic violence in 2010.
Adams added that even while state funding is being cut, state law requires publicly funded domestic violence shelters to offer certain basic services, including a 24-hour hotline and 24-hour staff coverage — so those program pieces must be preserved despite shrinking budgets.
She said she's been consulting with sister agencies in other counties, and all the conversations begin similarly: "How are you going to keep your hotline going?"

Last week I stopped by a LBS that often has nice old bikes, and this little Nishiki called to me. I did a little research here and discovered it was one of the very good ones, so I went back two days latter. After a brisk, quick negotiation, I handed over the exact amount in my pockets and left with the bike.
I'm always too eager to pitch into a project to remember to take 'before' pictures, so you're spared the too-short stem and nasty yellow bar tape and cable housing.
The shifters are what turned the trick for me. I've always been interested in them and wanted a set to play with. One of my first posts here was a question about them, answered by Sheldon himself!

» American Tower Q2 2010 Earnings Call Transcript
Before I begin, I would like to remind you that this call will contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Examples of these statements include those regarding our 2011 outlook, our pending acquisitions, our consideration to elect real estate investment trust status, our stock repurchase program and any other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts.
You should be aware that certain factors may affect us in the future and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Such factors include the risk factors set forth in this morning's press release, those set forth in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and in our other fillings with the SEC. We urge you to consider these factors and remind you that we undertake no obligation to update the information contained in this call to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.
And with that, please turn to Slide 4 of the presentation, which provides the summary of our first quarter 2011 results. Highlights from the first quarter included a 23.2% growth in total Rental and Management revenues to $546.7 million, adjusted EBITDA growth of 21.1% to $377.1 million, operating income growth of 22.1% to $218.3 million and a 4.7% decrease in our income from continuing operations to $92 million or $0.23 per basic and diluted common share.
The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in the effective tax rate this quarter. During the first quarter of 2010, our tax provision was reduced by approximately $33 million as a result of one-time restructuring activities in Latin America.
And with that, I would like to turn the call over to Tom Bartlett who will discuss our results in more detail.
Thomas Bartlett
Thanks, Garth, and good morning, everyone. I'm pleased to report that our business produced solid results in the first quarter.
If you please turn to Slide 5, you will see that for the first quarter, our total Rental and Management revenue increased 23.2% to $547 million. Adjusting for the impact of FX straight line and a couple of one-time items accumulating to $1.6 million in revenue that occurred during the first quarter, core growth in total Rental and Management revenues was approximately 18.5%.
Turning to Slide 6. I thought it'd be helpful to highlight some of the specific items that generated the growth in our first quarter versus last year. Contractual escalations accounted for approximately $18 million of incremental revenue or about 4% of the Rental and Management revenue growth for the quarter. The base rents under an MLA were escalated last year when one contract was executed and the annual escalator was moved forward to January of each year.
Organic growth in our existing Tower portfolio, as a result of new colocation and amendment activity, accounted for about $24 million of incremental revenues in the quarter. And between the fourth quarter of 2009 and the end of the first quarter of 2011, we added over 9,900 new sites. New run rate revenue from these sites in the quarter accounted for about $47 million. And as expected, our turn was approximately $12 million.
Finally, the U.S. dollar has weakened against most of the currencies in the markets in which we operate, and our straight-line revenue increased as a result of the new MLA we signed. These factors, combined with other items, generated a benefit of approximately $26 million, so around $103 million of incremental revenue in the quarter. I hope that detail was helpful.
Turning to Slide 7, continuing with some highlights relative to our Domestic Rental and Management segment for the first quarter of 2011. Revenue increased 12.9% to just under $418 million. For the first quarter, our Domestic Rental and Management segment gross margin increased $41.8 million or 14.3%, which reflects a year-over-year conversion rate of approximately 88%. And excluding the impact of FX, straight-line lease accounting and one-time items, our core growth and revenue was 10.1%. And as you can see, our profit margin in our Domestic segment increased 76%.
Turning to Slide 8. As expected, our International Rental and Management segment also produced strong results during the first quarter of 2011, generating year-over-year revenue growth of 75%. Between the fourth quarter of 2009 and the end of the first quarter, we have added over 8,900 towers to our international site portfolio, including 5,320 in India, 2,643 in Latin America and 959 sites in South Africa.

Tips on a How to Make a Less Stressful Removals
Published on Monday, 23 November 2009
Change is a something that not everyone welcomes in their life. This accounts for about half of the stress felt during the move. But then half of it is also due to the fact that there are just too much tasks to do to complete the move. Much of the time consumed in the move is spent on packing. But before you start doing it, make sure that you've got everything planned out. You have to list down all the tasks so you will not forget anything. Besides packing you have to make arrangements for the transportation of your things. You also need to inform utility companies and your banks about the change of address. Packing usually starts with sorting of your things. To minimize the things to bring and to minimize cost, you have to discard all the things you no longer need. You can hold a garage sale to come up with additional money for the move. You could also donate them to free up some space at home and to again minimize the things to be packed. Make sure that you have enough packing materials before you start packing. Always put heavy materials in smaller boxes so they can easily be lifted. Other types of items need to be in proper types of boxes too to ensure their safety. For easier unpacking, make sure you label the boxes as to where they are supposed to go and what is inside of them. It's also important that you have food, toiletries and supplies of other essential items sufficient for at least two days in a box so you will have easy access to everything you need during and after the move. Following these tips would surely make things more convenient for you.

A 130 MPH Lawnmower
Imagine going out to your garden shed, jumping on your mower for your weekend lawncare chores, and speeding around your yard like you're in a race. This could be the future of lawncare.
Honda has produced a lawnmower for Top Gear magazine that is capable of speeds reaching well over 100 mph and 0 – 60 times are around four seconds. That is quicker and faster than many automobiles and has a 130-decibel roar (106 for the normal mower) with flames that shoot from the Scorpion exhaust system.
Peter Crolla, the team manager at Team Dynamics who oversaw the project, stated, "The main engineering challenge stems from the need to retain the look of the lawnmower on which it is based, and the ability to still cut grass while achieving the speed and the handling characteristics required for this type of vehicle. To our knowledge, this has never been done before, certainly using this mower and engineer combination, and as such there are no previous learning's to draw upon."
The record speed for a lawnmower was previously set at 96.5 mph back in 2010. In a test run at the Circuit de Charade in France, Top Gear magazine clocked the mower at a little over 100 mph on the backstretch.
This super-fast mower is still capable of cutting grass, but only at speeds of 15 mph, which is still about twice as fast as the normal rider. To lighten up the machine, a fiberglass body was used and to keep the engine cool, a high capacity oil cooler and a second radiator were added.
For the mower to reach its top speed, the original mowing deck was replaced to accommodate the engine. Top Gear magazine's senior road tester Piers Ward, writes in the latest issue, "Honda has fitted two 4,000rpm electric motors with metal brake cables attached to flail the green stuff into submission." But the modified cutting deck is only 0.4 inches off the ground, so it must be removed to get to 100 MPH plus speeds. Ward added, "hearing it for the first time, and seeing flames spitting out of the exhaust, didn't exactly help make me feel relaxed before I drove it."
This mower has been named the Mean Mower. It is a modified Honda HF2620 lawn tractor that has the original 20 hp motor removed and replaced with a 109 hp 1,000 cc V-twin engine and the six-speed transmission from the VTR1000 Firestorm sport bike. The suspension was modified to compensate a set of ATV wheels and tires.
Don't be looking for this mower at your local home improvement store. It is a one-off project only to highlight Honda's product offering and to promote its sporty heritage, according to Honda.

That was the part I was trying to change, I don't really want you to keep one of those Pokémon because it would make the game lose it's excitement, and making other Pokémon catch up with the level of your main would be a pain (You just won at the Battle Frontier, so minimum Lv:50). As for the team you had before your Pokémon were taken away, Volkner's Raichu it's the main Pokémon. It wouldn't be exciting to have a level 50 fully evolved one.
Anyway, the way you lose your Pokémon it's a provisional idea for now, I've been struggling a lot to came up with something good but everything I think of are clichés, so if anyone gets a better idea I would definitely appreciate it and use it with the proper permission
Please forgive my horrible english as it's not my primary language.

Sauk Lake Lake Getaways
Known to have a reputation of being of the best fishing lakes in the area, the year round fising that takes place is heavy on the lake. The maximum water depth is close to 60 feet and the clarity if approximately 3 feet because of the murkiness in the water. Access to the lake includes a city owned fishing pier within the City of Sauk Centre; an informal access on the highway (highway 71); a public access at the northeast end of the lake; and a final access point on the northeast of the Highway 71 bridge. Surrounding the lake are 8 resorts which fishers and guests can stay in. Some fish species include Bullhead, Dogfish, Carp, Sunfish, Bass, Northern Pike, Tullibee, Walleye, Sucker and Perch.

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., was appointed to co-chair the deficit-reduction "supercommittee." The need for responsible action is clearer now more than ever. With the right leadership, I hope we'll renew economic growth and reduce our nation's budget deficit.
Budget cuts must be made to restore the economy, but it's equally important that conservation programs providing benefits to both our nation and economy, like the Conservation Reserve Program, are properly funded. Conservation programs provide cost-effective ways to conserve wildlife habitat, prevent erosion, keep drinking water clean and promote outdoor recreation. In Washington state alone, there are 754,000 sportsmen using these resources, who have a $1.4 billion annual impact on our state's economy and support more than 19,800 jobs. Conservation programs are community investments that benefit everyone.
Potential cuts to conservation not only threaten America's outdoor legacy, but could hurt countless local economies and small businesses that depend on the outdoor sporting community. Cutting these programs would be a cavalier dismissal of the economic and environmental benefits that they provide. I encourage Murray to take a fair, balanced approach in the upcoming budget cuts and remember that our precious outdoor resources won't last forever.
