Over 1 billion shares to dump and tax selling to take place before the end of the year. Companies will cut back on ad revenue budgets and nobody except facebook employees click on the ads anyway.
Not a buy!
taking out a loan - larger than earnings - to cover taxes...
...lest we forget FB's SEC filing in Oct -- where JP Morgan floats FB a $1,500,000,000 loan (charging interest!) to fund taxes and IPO settlements. Borrowing to cover the taxes coming...oh, and paying off IPO insiders.
"$50 Billion Dollar company" with $300 million in quarterly income. ...That "$50 Billlion" can change to anything on the whim of a wall street rumor or sneeze. watchout!
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On October 25, 2012, Facebook, Inc. (the " Company ") drew $1.5 billion under its amended and restated unsecured term loan facility (the " Amended and Restated Term Loan ") with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as Administrative Agent, and the lenders party thereto. The draw was made to fund a portion of the tax withholding and remittance obligations of the Company related to the vesting and settlement of restricted stock units in connection with the Company's initial public offering. No further amounts remain available to be drawn by the Company under the Amended and Restated Term Loan. The $1.5 billion draw is subject to the interest, events of default and other terms set forth in the Amended and Restated Term Loan, a copy of which was filed as exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 15, 2012.
Your opst is best in thousands. I like it. I am raising FB value from 1.99 to $2.45.
Let's see how the manipulators want to play this week.
Bloated PE and poor earnings will always result in a return to fair value.
that crowd of actors is bad news for the widows and orphans
bruce kasting from zero hedge...
"...800m shares of FB got freed up this week; a bunch of money was positioned short in the stock waiting for some new sellers to appear. Of course when everyone knows all this well in advance, and CNBC is talking it up non-stop, the opposite has to happen. So the shorts got creamed, and I got a laugh.
I have no idea what the right price for FB is. I do know that the current price is a composite of these factors:
- A significant amount of the current float is still held by retail accounts that own it from the IPO at 38. They all hate the stock.
- At $23 a share, and a big float, FB is perfect trading fodder for all sorts of players:
+Day traders
+Short interest
+Momentum guys
+Hedge funds
Generally speaking, that crowd of actors is bad news for the widows and orphans."

Man robbed at knifepoint in Fearnhead subway
Updated 2:18pm Friday 1st November 2013 in
A MAN had a knife held to his throat as he was robbed in a subway in Padgate.
Police say the 28-year-old was walking from Padgate train station when he took the Vicarage Underpass on Station Road at 7.15pm on Wednesday.
He was followed by two men and grabbed by the throat.
One of the attackers held a Stanley knife to his neck and demanded money.
He emptied his wallet and they took the cash before running off.
The victim suffered minor cuts to his face and bruising during the attack.
Police are appealing for information.
The first attacker is described as white, around 6ft tall and of a gangly build.
He has a large, crooked nose which looked as though it had been broken in the past.
He also had dark coloured eyes with bags under them, ears which stuck out, and dark hair.
The man was wearing a dark blue hooded top with the hood pulled up and a navy blue snood pulled up over the tip of his nose.
He wore black gloves and spoke with a Warrington accent.
The second attacker is around 5ft 10ins tall with a slim build.
He had a hood pulled right down to his eyebrows and blue eyes.
He was also wearing a navy blue snood pulled up to the tip of his nose, and a navy blue or black hooded top which may have had a zip up the front of it, and black gloves.
Both attackers were aged in their late 20s to mid 30s.
Anyone with information should contact Cheshire Police on 101 quoting incident number 878 of October 30.
Alternatively information can be given anonymously by contacting Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Well that didn't happen did it?
And on the same day that this happened, the police were jubilant that they'd managed to pull over 200 motorists in the region. It's nice to know where their priorities lie.
Somebody reading this report knows these two. It's a good enough description. Somebody lives near them and their kids know these lads. Do the right thing and get this scum off our streets. The police probably know who they are for god's sake.
We should be able to walk in the street at 7:15 at night without the fear of this.

OKC Thunder: Kevin Durant being lured back to Washington
With the Thunder making its annual appearance in Washington, the last three days have been filled with talk about whether Kevin Durant has any desire to return to his roots and play for the Wizards.
Durant was first asked about the possibility by filmmaker and actor Spike Lee during an appearance on his Sirius XM radio show on Thursday night. Durant told Lee it's not something that interested him.
"I love playing there (in Oklahoma City)," Durant said. "The city fits me. I'm one of those guys that just likes to chill. That's exactly how the town is. The people are supportive. The fans are there all the time at the games. Every game feels like it's a sellout. They just support us so much."
But that won't stop Wizards All-Star point guard John Wall from recruiting Durant, whose contract with the Thunder runs through the 2015-16 season. Wall and Durant have spent time working out together in the offseason under the same trainer, and Wall said he's already begun planting seeds to get Durant to D.C.
"I throw a little slick shots here and there," Wall told The Washington Post. "Try something."
Durant was again asked about the possibility of playing for the Wizards prior to Oklahoma City's game at Washington on Saturday. And he again downplayed the idea.
"I had to buy 100 tickets tonight. I spent a lot of money on tickets tonight. Imagine if I played here," Durant said when asked if he's given it any thought. "I don't even want to think about that. But I haven't given it any thought. Growing up here and, like I said, taking the train down to Gallery Place-Chinatown to come watch these games as a kid, I never really thought about coming home to play. I love Oklahoma City. I love coming here and visiting. Hopefully, we can change (our losing trend at Washington) and get a win tonight. That's all I'm thinking about."
Thunder coach Scott Brooks again backed starting center Kendrick Perkins when asked what made sitting him so effective in the Thunder's win Wednesday at Miami.
"With Perk — and you guys are obviously a lot smarter than me — I look at stats and I try to analyze it and use the things I feel are important," Brooks said. "But until somebody can come up with a stat on chemistry, a stat on intangibles and a stat on heart, it's hard to judge guys like Perk, guys like Nick (Collison) or guys like (Derek Fisher). Because those guys bring those things that numbers don't do it any justice."
Durant received an unexpected phone call upon arriving in Washington early Saturday morning.
It was friend and former teammate Eric Maynor.
"Eric called me as soon as I got off the plane last night, at 2 in the morning," Durant said before facing Maynor's Wizards. "I was wondering what he was doing up. He was just chilling. I guess he missed me. So I keep in touch with him and his family. He's always going to be a brother."
Maynor has struggled mightily in his debut season with the Wizards and has fallen out of the rotation. He's averaging 2.3 points, one rebound and 1.7 assists while shooting 29.2 percent in 9.3 minutes.
"He's a vet," Durant said. "He knows how to handle it. Just keep working."
Washington coach Randy Wittman on the legacy of departed NBA commissioner David Stern: "We came in the same year, as a player and as commissioner. So I've been here for all 30 years of what he's done. I think he's going to go down as one of the great commissioners of all sports when it's said and done."

New type transducer for measuring contact compliances of a soft body78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392559View Description Hide Description
A new type transducer for measuring a contact compliance or a contact resonance is described. The instrument is very different from conventional electrodynamic vibrometers which consist of a moving coil and a loudspeakermagnet. The old instruments exert a greater influence on the contact resonance of a soft body, because they have a heavy driver unit. In order to minimize elastic deformations of a test material on which the transducer rests, the new transducer is designed to operate with a piezoelectric disk which is employed as the driver unit. Therefore, the piezoelectric transducer proposed here is small, light, and consumes very little electricity. In addition, by using the piezoelectric vibrator technique, experimental investigations are conducted to deduce the characteristics of the contact resonance of a soft body such as foam rubber.
Ultrasonic absorption of bovine serum albumin solutions in the frequency range 200 kHz–1 MHz78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392455View Description Hide Description
The ultrasonic absorption of solutions of two electrolytes,magnesium and manganous sulfates, and also of the globular protein bovine serum albumin, has been measured using small volume spherical resonators at frequencies in the range 200 kHz–1.2 MHz. The principles of the technique are discussed and absorption values obtained for the electrolyte solutions at 20 °C are compared with existing values using other methods. For BSA, measurements were made at 8 °C over a range of pH values. Under both acid and alkaline conditions, excess losses at megahertz frequencies were found to persist down to at least 200 kHz. A new loss peak at approximately 400 kHz has been found at pH 3.2.
Acoustics of a standing wave tank for studying the hearing capacity of fish78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392575View Description Hide Description
In a standing wave tank responses of fish to sound stimuli used to investigate the hearing capacity of fish may perhaps be affected by unintended stimulation of the lateral line. Uniform oscillatory water flow patterns do not stimulate the lateral line. Departures from uniformity were derived from measurements of acoustic pressure and particle velocity at 5‐cm spacings around the center in our standing wave tank containing six transducers suspended along three axes that are perpendicular to one another. These measurements are compared with the results of a model in which negligible influence of the tank wall and an incompressible water column in the tank are assumed. Deviations of computed values from measured values of sound pressure and the principal velocity components are less than 5 dB. The model underestimates velocity components perpendicular to the principal component. However, the model does appear a reliable aid for estimating the spatial function of sound pressure and velocity from the values of p and v̄ measured at the tank center. Upper limits for the relative velocities between the fish body and the water can only approach threshold values for the lateral line stimulation under worst conditions (i.e., a velocity node at the tank center) in this setup.
The effect of the player's vocal tract on woodwind instrument tone78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392556View Description Hide Description
Many players of woodwind instruments believe that the tone of the instrument is influenced by the player's vocal tract. If this is so, it would be expected that the vibrating reed in the player's mouth would generate an appreciable sound pressure in his vocal tract. However, measurements of the vocal tract impedance (looking into the mouth) give values an order of magnitude less than the impedances of the clarinet air column resonances. The sound pressure built up in the vocal tract would thus be expected to be much smaller than that in the clarinet. A clarinetlike system was arranged to sound by drawing air through it from the normally open end, the reed being out in the open for easy accessibility. When the mouth was placed around the mouthpiece with the system sounding, the changes in the waveform and harmonic structure of the tone were minimal. When a system with a more sharply tuned resonance was substituted for the vocal tract, the waveform changes were observable but not large. It appears that the player's vocal tract has a negligible influence on the instrument tone.
F 0 in the perception of lenis and fortis plosives78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392562View Description Hide Description
This paper reviews articulatory data that provide evidence for a backward influence of stop manner production on the F 0 of the preceding vowel in German, and it presents results from four experiments that show the relevance of pre‐closure F 0 for stop manner perception in the German word pair ''leiden''/''leiten.'' The results are compared with several perceptual investigations of monotone versus changing F 0 on English monosyllables influencing the voiced/voiceless judgment for post‐vocalic consonants. The theory that we are here dealing with a general auditory phenomenon instead of a production–perception relationship is refuted on the basis of the production and perception data available for German and for English.
Plosive consonant identification in ambiguous sentences78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.393099View Description Hide Description
The hypothesis tested in this paper is that the acoustic–phonetic information at the sentence level (irrespective of the meaning of the sentence) makes it easier to interpret those cues to plosive consonant identity which are contained in vocalic transitions. Listeners were given a two‐way choice in meaningful Dutch sentences which allowed two different intervocalic plosive consonants in the same position, and from which various parts of the VCV segments (plosive burst, vocalic transitions) had been deleted. The results were compared with results from a condition in which the VCV segments were presented without the sentence context. The hypothesis was confirmed for CV transitions, except for /k/, but disconfirmed for nearly all VC transitions. This could mean that in experiments involving the perception of isolated VCV or CVC utterances, whether spoken in isolation or excised from longer utterances, the contribution of the CV transition to plosive consonant perception may be underestimated.
Acoustic characteristics of perceived versus actual vocal age in controlled phonation by adult females78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392452View Description Hide Description
The purpose of this investigation was to obtain information on the acoustic characteristics of women's voices as a function of perceived versus actual age. Tape recordings of whispered and normally phonated /æ/ vowels were obtained from 75 women in three age groups (25–35, 45–55, and 70–80 years). One‐second segments of phonemically representative /æ/ vowels were played to 23 listeners for relative age judgments. Phonated vowel productions were analyzed in terms of mean fundamental frequency, fundamental frequency standard deviation, and jitter ratio, as well as F1 and F2 frequencies. Whispered vowels were analyzed only in terms of F1 and F2 frequencies. Multiple regression analysis revealed that older age judgments based on phonated vowels were significantly associated with higher fundamental frequency standard deviation values and lower mean fundamental frequency values. Older age judgments based on whispered vowels were significantly associated with lower F1 frequencies. Results of this investigation suggest that both phonatory and resonance features play a role in defining age characteristics of women's voices. Acoustic cues associated with perceived age generally agreed with acoustic findings as a function of actual age.
Constancy of (acoustic) relative timing measures in phrase‐level utterances78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392453View Description Hide Description
The hypothesis that acoustic measures of relative speech timing remain constant across large changes in speaking rate was tested for fluent utterances produced by normal and neurogenically disordered speakers. For all speakers, relative timing tended to be statistically invariable across conversational and fast speaking rates. This finding was considered especially interesting in the case of speakers with dysarthria and apraxia of speech, because absolute measures of speech timing associated with these disorders are typically aberrant. A p o s t h o canalysis of relative variability across speakers showed the ratio measures to be consistently less variable than measures of absolute interval duration. The greater similarity across speakers of ratio measures, as compared to interval measures, was taken to mean that characterizing the temporal structure of articulatory sequences in terms of relative timing is an appropriate way to capture an important aspect of the biological constraints associated with speech production.
A model for the synthesis of natural sounding vowels78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392454View Description Hide Description
A model has been developed which is designed to preserve some of the naturalness that is usually lost in speech synthesis. A parametrized function is used to produce an approximation to the cross‐sectional area through the glottis. A circuit model of the subglottal and glottal system is used with the supraglottal pressure to generate the glottal volume velocity. The tract used to obtain the supraglottal pressure is represented by its input‐impedance inpulse response, which can be calculated from the area function of the tract. A convolution of the input‐impedance impulse response with the volume velocity determines the supraglottal pressure. The two coupled equations for the volume velocity are solved simultaneously. The output of the model is generated by convolving the resulting glottal volume velocity with the transfer‐function impulse response of the tract. This technique preserves the interaction between the glottal flow and the vocal tract, which is usually lost. Comparisons are made between ''complete tract loading'' and ''inductive tract loading.'' Magnitude spectra of the various pressures and the glottal volume velocity are examined in detail. Effects of varying the glottal parameters are examined for one vowel. Listening tests showed that vowels systhesized with the interaction were preferred as more natural sounding than those without the interactions.
Differential sensitivity to tonal frequency and to the rate of amplitude modulation of broadband noise by normally hearing listeners78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392456View Description Hide Description
Differential sensitivities for tones which varied in frequency (containing cues for place and periodicity) and for broadband noise which varied in the rate of sinusoidal amplitude modulation (presumably containing only a periodicity cue) were measured at common frequencies and modulation rates of the stimulus for four normally hearing listeners. A forced‐choice adaptive psychophysical procedure was used in all measurements. Through 60 Hz, tonal‐frequency and rate discrimination were similar (on average, 2.5–3.0 Hz) across listeners. From 80–400 Hz, differential sensitivity for tones was between 1.0 and 2.0 Hz, whereas values for rate discrimination increased almost linearly from about 3.6 to 122.0 Hz. Apparently, differential sensitivities for both tonal frequency and modulation rate are mediated similarly, presumably by the same (periodicity) mechanism, through 60 Hz. Above 60 Hz, the listener is more sensitive to differences in tonal frequency than modulation rate. Detection thresholds for sinusoidal amplitude modulation of noise also were measured for these listeners. An average modulation threshold function was obtained and a half‐power frequency was estimated for the function at 60 Hz; from this value a time constant of 2.65 ms may be derived, which is consistent with time constants measured by other psychophysical methods. These data further point to some change in perceptual quality above about 60 Hz, that frequency above which we found tonal‐frequency and rate discrimination functions to separate.
A scale for rate of tactual vibration78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392457View Description Hide Description
Observers were asked to make estimates of the rate of mechanical vibrations presented to the finger as pulses ranging from 2 to about 300 pps. From the functions generated by this study, a set of ten values of mechanical vibration rate was selected. In a second experiment additional observers were asked to learn to identify these values of rate. Information analysis of the data showed that, when rate alone is varied, observers can identify between three and five items correctly; when rate and intensity are covaried redundantly, between five and eight items can be identified correctly. These results are viewed as supporting those from studies of the DL for rate, and as evidence for a limited but useful role of rate discrimination in tactile displays of acoustic signals.
Effect of opening and draining the cochlea78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.393090View Description Hide Description
The WKB approximation was used in calculations of the pure‐tone response of a two‐dimensional inviscid model of the human cochlea and a three‐dimensional inviscid model of the guinea pig cochlea. The common experimental procedure of opening the scala tympani was simulated. Basilar membrane displacement was unaffected at and beyond the peak, but was slightly lower pre‐peak. The peak location shifted to a significant extent apically only when the fluid level in the scala tympani was lowered to less than 1/10 of normal depth.
On the extraction of the signal‐excitation function from a non‐Poisson cochlear neural spike train78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392458View Description Hide Description
In two recent papers in this J o u r n a l, Johnson and Swami [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 7 4, 493–501 (1983)] and Gaumond e t a l. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 7 4, 1392–1398 (1983)] have given procedures for estimating the signal‐excitation function s(t) conveyed by a non‐Poisson cochlear neural spike train with a known neural recovery function r(t−t'). For a delayed step form of r(t−t'), we show how s(t) may be directly (noniteratively) determined from the post‐stimulus‐time (PST) histogram response. We also show that for more general recovery functions, s(t) may be determined from the PST histogram response by using a simple iterative method.
Extraction of helicopter‐radiated noise by frequency domain processing78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.393097View Description Hide Description
Real data observations of farfield radiated noise from an approaching UH‐1 helicopter revealed that the received time‐domain radiated noise contained impulses. The cited literature attributes these observed impulses to blade slap which is caused by, among other mechanisms, blade vortex interactions. This paper is concerned exclusively with extracting these measured impulses by a frequency‐domain processing method. As is well known, the total radiated noise of a helicopter is quite complex. No attempt is made in the paper to discuss the full complexity of the radiated noise field. However, references are cited in the text which support our findings and give a more general treatment to helicopter‐radiated noise. The method for extracting impulses generated by an approaching helicopter utilizes a nonlinearity implemented in the frequency domain. It is shown with real helicopter‐radiated noise data that autocorrelation estimates of a signal, interfered with by additive helicopter‐radiated noise, can be improved by extracting some of the interfering components. The extracted components are also available as an enhanced time‐domain representation.
Low‐noise noise78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392571View Description Hide Description
A practical method of computation is described for making periodic signals V(t) which have a given frequency spectrum and which minimize the variance 〈(V 2−〈V〉2)2〉 in power as a function of time. These signals can be used to measure the spectral response of a system (the transfer function): They represent a significant improvement over traditional random‐phase and minimum peak value approaches. The signals are also of psychophysical interest.
Implications of multipath propagation for two‐frequency coherence measurements78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392572View Description Hide Description
The underwater acoustic medium is modeled as a deterministic multipath channel. A moving source transmits two pure sinusoidal signals. The receiver separates the signals by filtering, and then demodulates them. Two‐frequency coherence is defined as the normalized cross correlation of the two demodulates. A new measurement technique is suggested whereby it is shown that: (1) the coherent bandwidth for a channel with only deterministic multipaths is essentially unlimited and (2) paths of significant gain may be resolved by using long measurement times. A lower bound on measurement time for path resolution is obtained.
Image reconstruction from disturbed synthetic aperture sonar data using aperture division78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392573View Description Hide Description
An image reconstruction algorithm based on disturbed synthetic aperture sonar data is presented. First, the data are divided on the basis of aperture and the images are then reconstructed from the divided data. For a smoothly varying phase disturbance these images are shifted in the azimuth direction corresponding to the local tilts of the disturbance, so that detection of these shifts enables the disturbance to be estimated and thus compensation can be made for the disturbed data. A reflector is placed in or around the object to be observed in order for the algorithm to apply to a general class of objects. The optimum size of the subapertures can be determined from the same data. The principle of the method and some typical numerical examples are given.
Variable density acoustic tomography78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392574View Description Hide Description
The theory and algorithms of diffractiontomography are generalized to the case of acoustic objects whose density and compressibility vary as a function of position. A generalized projection‐slice theorem is presented for objects of this class and filtered backpropagation algorithms are derived that allow separate reconstructions of the objects' density and compressibility using measurements of the transmitted acoustic field performed at two distinct frequencies. Computer simulations are presented testing the algorithms in the noise‐free case.
Diffuse elastic waves at a free surface78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392576View Description Hide Description
For a diffusely vibrating elastic body, the participation of the surface in the general disturbance is evaluated. It is shown that in the vicinity of a free surface a diffuse acoustic field may legitimately be regarded as a sum of incoherent isotropic and homogeneous independent plane waves incident upon the surface together with their respective outgoing reflected consequences. The work contributes to a conceptual basis for the study of acoustic emission signals on time scales large compared to acoustic travel times across the structure.
Sonoluminescence produced by ''stable'' cavitation78(1985); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.392577View Description Hide Description
This article reports on a phenomenological study of sonoluminescence produced by acoustic cavitation in which a sensitive, high‐gain image intensifier tube (EMI type 9912) was used to view the cavitation. We discovered that large amounts of light were being emitted from regions near pressure antinodes in the standing wave field where the pressure amplitude was approximately 0.17±0.03 MPa. Visual observation of these areas indicated activity resembling ''stable'' cavitation rather than ''transient'' cavitation.

ADA Aquasoil Amazonia on sale!
Hi guys, I just thought I'd let you know that the new Aquasoil Amazonia is on sale for $30. It's normally about $45.
I thought the price was RAISED from $28 to $30? I feel like its always been thirty......if not im bout to order some ;)
It seems to me that it has been 30 for a while from Aquaforest. I know Aqua design group has been around 45 for a while now. An I think They just got a new container in in the last couple months as well. I will be ordering from them in a month or so personaly.
That's the regular price at AquaForest. Their prices are lower on many ada items.
Guys, I found out why the price is so low. Shipping costs around $16 for one bag. ADG's 9l bag is $45 with free shipping, so ADG still has the best deal.
Well thats a downer.
I ordered this on the 5th and I'm still waiting. They say 4 - 7 days, but for Alaska I'm expecting 10 to get here.
1 x Power Sand Special-S (2 liters) (104-011) = $22.00
1 x Aqua Soil - New Amazonia (9 liters) - Powder (104-041) = $43.00
1 x Aqua Soil - New Amazonia (9 liters) - Normal (104-021) = $30.00
Sub-Total: $95.00
United States Postal Service (Parcel Post (4 - 7 days)): $42.49
Sales Tax: $0.00
Total: $137.49
This is going in my New Fluval LED Edge for future S+ CRS
I did get a good deal on the new 45cm Aquasky through AFA though. $75 less than ADG was quoting. :)

NIOSH's Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation Reports
Date of incident: March 29, 2008
A 45-year-old employee of a ready-mixed cement company was fatally injured when he was backed over by a skid-steer loader. The company dispatcher was operating the skid-steer loader, cleaning a gravel pathway used to test concrete patches. The victim stepped out of a worksite trailer onto the gravel path to greet a contract worker. The contract worker saw the victim step into the path and noticed the skid-steer loader was traveling in reverse toward the victim. The contract worker shouted a warning and tried to alert both the victim and the machine operator, but the operator did not hear the warning and the victim did not react. The rear of the skid-steer loader struck the victim on the right side of his body and rolled over his torso. The operator was not aware he had struck someone. Emergency medical services were called immediately. The victim was in cardiac arrest and was transported to the local hospital for further care. The victim died en route to the hospital.
To prevent future occurrences:
- Install permanent barriers separating commonly used walkways from areas where heavy equipment is being operated.
- Develop a policy for workers on-foot to maintain a safe clearance from mobile equipment, use designated pathways and use personal protective equipment such as high-visibility clothing.
- Implement a comprehensive training program for operators of heavy mobile equipment, including training on appropriate backing procedures.
- Consider installing back-up alarms and electronic sensors to warn heavy equipment operators of workers who are walking in the immediate work area.

Re: Polarizer Solution for 12-24mm Aspherical Lens
May solution used to be a 20mm ais lens with the old type (wide) Nikon polarizer.
I have now also an 18mm AFD type which is quite ok and also light enough as an alternative.

2. Abhidhamma Philosophy (7299)
By J. Kashyap
Abhidhamma Philosophy
Or the Psycho-Ethical Philosophy of Early Buddhism
3. Hatha Yoga Pradipika (7195)
By Swami Satyananda Saraswati and Swami Muktibodhananda
This book is a thorough commentary on the original text by Maharishi Swatmarama. It elucidates the entire science of hatha yoga as it was conceived and practised, not for health and fitness only, but for awakening the pranas, chakras and kundalini shakti. This text points out that hatha yoga is not just a physical practice but a process of cellular transmutation from gross, to subtle to divine. Thus hatha yoga was considered the foundation of all higher yogas. This text clearly shows the link between tantra and hatha yoga, and also emphasises that hatha yoga leads to raja yoga, otherwise it is practised in vain.
4. Ajna Chakra (6722)
By Rishi Nityabodha
While knowledge of the external world is gained through the senses, it is through our sixth sense, ajna chakra, also known as the third eye or the eye of intuition, that higher intelligence, both unmanifest and manifest, is experienced. Awakening ajna chakra is opening the channel to experience answers to what lies beyond external reality, questions haunting every seeker.

The Yoga of Sage Vasishtha
- $5.00
By Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
"The application of the teachings of Sage Vasishtha made Sri Rama an idol and a hero, and he continues to be the inspiration for all people in the Indian subcontinent and beyond. Not because he is God, not because he is considered to be an avatara, but because he became the perfect human being. This is the message of Yoga Vasishtha: how to become the best person that you can be, your perfect self, and apply the principles of Sage Vasishtha in your life."
The Yoga of Sri Krishna
- $5.00
By Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
"The Bhagavad Gita is not a religious book or a treatise on philosophy. It is a work which dispels doubts about the dharma that one has to live in life. According to the founding thoughts of the Bhagavad Gita, the process of managing life and the cultivation of better qualities, dharma and the journey of life are the focus of an individual. Yoga is the medium through which one is able to complete this journey."
Yoga in Daily Life
- $5.00
By Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
"I do not consider yoga as just a practice; rather, in 'Niranjanananda Yoga Samhita', yoga is grouped into four categories: practice, sadhana, lifestyle and culture. This is how I see yoga. I see yoga as a practice, I see yoga as a sadhana, I see yoga as a lifestyle and I see yoga as a culture. This is the progression of yoga."
Dharma of a Disciple
- $5.00
By Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
"A disciple is the transmitter of the guruís shakti. For shakti to be transmitted, the wire has to be carbon-free. If there is accumulation of carbon in the wires that carry electricity from one bulb to another, the lights will not come on. Therefore, the aim of discipleship is to remove the accumulated carbon from our wires and ensure that they are always clean so that the current of divine grace can flow continuously and constantly, and that is the dharma of a disciple."
Head, Heart & Hands
- $5.00
By Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
Now Awakening the faculties of head, heart and hands means that you have to develop and discover a better you. The possibility of becoming better is already in you. If you can remain optimistic, positive and creative, balanced in emotions and thoughts, then a new you emerges from the ashes of the old you. That new you is the yogi you. This is the yogic journey that Swami Sivananda spoke about, and this is the yogic journey that Swami Satyananda has started us on."
Karma & Karma Yoga
- $5.00
By Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
"Karma is manifestation of human nature. It is something which is expressed spontaneously, naturally and unconditionally, because this entire creation is nothing but manifestation of karma. The entire creation, the entire universe, the entire life is manifestation of karma, and the seed of karma in creation was planted by the cosmic will."
Mantra & Yantra
- $5.00
By Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
"Mantra and yantra constitute the instruments, mediums or methods by which one can explore and realize energy patterns and awaken the dormant centres of consciousness. Mantras and yantras are not only a combination of sounds and visual images used in meditation, but represent the first subtle manifestation of the two cosmic powers of consciousness and energy, as mantra and yantra."
Mind, Mind Management & Raja Yoga
- $7.50
By Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
"The highest sadhana in life is mind management, not meditation. The highest awareness is how the mind responds to different situations. Sadhana is not an abstract idea; it is a practicable, step by step method. This is the approach that the yogis and seers have adopted in order to harness the potential of the mind."
My Inheritance of Sannyasa
- $5.00
By Swami Niranjanananda Saraswati
"An institution is not an inheritance. Buildings and wealth are not the inheritance of a sadhu. A sadhu's wealth and assets are the qualities he lives with lifelong. It is a disciple's duty to strengthen the ideals that he upholds, lives and conducts himself with every day of his life. This is sannyasa. People think of sannyasa as renunciation, but sannyasa is connection; connection with oneself, one's mind, spirit and creativity, with knowledge and dispassion, and with a philosophy which guides every step of life."
Mere Aradhya(my beloved Guru)
- $13.75
By Swami Dharmashakti Saraswati
This collection of inspiring incidents and anecdotes from the life of Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati is a treasure trove for the sincere seeker. The lives of saints have always been a constant source of inspiration for humanity, and Sri Swamiji is no exception. Swami Satyananda is a unique saint and yogi. Even after ascending to the summit of yoga and acquiring the promised fruits thereof, he did not spend his life in a state of idyllic samadhi, but employed his yogic powers unceasingly and untiringly for the upliftment and betterment of mankind. Yet he remained unattached to it all. Through his magnanimous deeds, this incomparable yogi conquered the hearts of millions all over the globe. Whoever came into contact with him was immediately and irrevocably transformed.
Karma Sannyasa (The Noble Path for the Householder)
- $10.00
By Swami Satyananda Saraswati,Swami Satyasangananda Saraswati
How is it possible to live the life of a householder and yet maintain a balance between external and internal growth? In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna tells Arjuna, there is no harm in action, the danger lies in attachment and dependence on the fruits of the actions performed. If you can understand this concept and implement it in your daily life, then you will gradually experience a higher quality of experience. This is essentially the concept of karma sannyasa; live life fully, participate in all events externally, but internally maintain an attitude of non-doership.
Nawa Yogini Tantra
- $7.50
By Swami Muktananda
This book is written exclusively for women from the outlook of a woman. The first section, on spirituality, describes the important role of women in social and spiritual evolution, and traces their development from menarche to menopause.
Ajna Chakra

By Swami Satyananda Saraswati
Kundalini Tantra is Sri Swami Satyananda Saraswati's seminal work on kundalini, chakras and kriya yoga. Defining and explaining kundalini, this book provides a detailed account of kundalini awakening, including the signs and effects of such experiences and ways to both elicit and manage them. The book contains a comprehensive description of each chakra and the significance of the chakras in tantric and yogic practice.
Beating Tantra At Its Own Game(Spiritual Sexuality)
- $7.35
By Arthur Lytle
he Eastern Aspirant renounces sexuality, while Western Religion severely limits its expression. While not condoning Hedonism, Tantra introduces a middle path, extending the delights of male-female coupling into rarely attained Bliss, as Man approaches ever closer to that Ultimate Union with Godness. Through integrating all levels of human consciousness, by manipulation of the life currents, the usual short period of arousal, climax, and afterglow is extended for hours at a time without debilitation. This text lucidly discusses the WHAT, the HOW, and the WHY of exercises capable of transforming sensuality and sexuality into spirituality.
Breathe Free(Nutritional and Herbal Care for Your Respiratory System)
- $5.65
By Daniel Gagnon/Amadea Morningstar
An important contribution to the field of olistic health care. It provides therapeutic guidelines for holistic approach. An expose on respiratory diseases and their natural treatment. It helps to learn how you can heal and/or manage:
Astrology of the Seers(A Guide to Vedic/Hindu Astrology)
- $7.35
By David Frawley
Whether Hindu astrology is about a cause and effect, relationship between man and the planets or a correlation between the two, or whether it is the language of the stars as a holy script
embodying the all pervasive, all destructive Time - the past, present and future - is a question that will continue to baffle and engage the attention of all thinkers. But there can be little doubt about its delivering the goods in helping us to achieve the fourfold objectives (Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha) of life identified by the great Rishis of India.
Soma in Yoga and Ayurveda(The Power of Rejuvenation and Immortality)
- $9.85
By David Frawley
Soma is one of the key words in the ancient traditions of India. It stands for all that is gentle, beautiful, delicate, and sweet of temperament. It is also a synonym for the Moon. A person is complimented by calling him/her saumya, moon-like. A saumya face, saumya mien is what one looks for in choosing a friend.

Posted by a Consumer on 11/19/092.3 out of 5.0Overall the service was adequate. We did notice however a dramatic drop in the level of communication--ie, almost none--we received when we needed to relocate to another city. I am most concerned with our billing. At my initial consultation I was quoted a certain "package" amount which was different from the amount we were billed at the end. There was no acknowledgment of this from Snyder and now I find myself forwarded to the collections department. I am very disappointed.

PORTLAND — Patty Mills can only grin so wide when he's dropping double-digit scoring and dominating fourth quarters. It's hard to be too ecstatic when your home country is being ravaged.
The floods in Queensland, Australia have now claimed at least 13 lives and forced the evacuation of thousands of homes, leaving the point guard sullen despite recent accomplishments.
"It's hard, man. I have a lot of family in Brisbane. I know quite a few people who have been evacuated from their homes, people who didn't even make it back to their homes to get whatever stuff they needed," said Mills, who wore a Brisbane Broncos (rugby) jersey to Tuesday's game in support of Australia.
"You know, you're back here in America, and for me living in Portland, it's usually raining here. In that sense, it's hard — being from Australia but having to be away when you have a close connection to it."
So far Mills has donated money to the relief fund and appeared on the simulcasted "Courtside" on Comcast SportsNet Northwest to raise awareness concerning the disaster. However, he's indicated he wants to do more.
As for the specifics? Well, those have yet to be worked out. But after Tuesday's game, he suggested "an event of some kind to raise money."
Mills certainly embraces his celebrity when it comes to bringing attention toward causes important to him, but insists he'd be taking action regardless of his position in life. This isn't simply him reacting because he's in the spotlight, but rather a heartfelt outreach to his fellow countrymen.
"I think it's more of the fact that I am Australian and I'm from there and no matter I high-profile I was, I would do this anyway," Mills said. "It's not really an obligation."
While empathizing with his compatriots, Mills has been playing the best basketball of his career in the U.S. — so well, in fact, the he had logged more than three times as many fourth-quarter minutes as Blazers starting point guard Andre Miller in the five games before Tuesday's loss to the Knicks.
Miller, who has lauded Mills' play, hasn't officially complained about the disparity — but he did tell a media outlet Sunday that "there isn't an explanation for nothing around here."
Has this created any tension between he and Mills?
Is Patty feeling awkward?
"Not at all. Andre has been a big part of my development, for me being where I am now," said Mills, who scored 11 points in the fourth quarter against the Heat on Sunday. "He has helped all along the way. He was with me in the worst times when I wasn't sure if I was going to be on the team, helping me on and off the court. He's been great."

"Persepolis" Top 5 Page for this destination Takht-e Jamshid (Persepolis) by MalenaN
Takht-e Jamshid (Persepolis) Travel Guide: 59 reviews and 273 photos
Persepolis was the ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire (Achaemenid Empire). It is a complex of palaces built on a stone terrace, 14 metres above the surrounding plain. Work with Persepolis begun around 518 BC, when Darius I was king, and it was added to during the next 150 years.
Especially during the New Year celebrations (Noruz) delegates from all over the empire came to Persepolis to pay homage to the kings. As Persepolis was more for ceremonial use the kings did not stay here all year round, but spent much time in their palaces in other cities.
The glory of Persepolis came to an end when it was occupied by Alexander the Great in 330 BC. Alexander plundered the city of all its treasures and he burned it down (it is not known if that was an accident or not).
Persepolis is an Unesco World Heritage Site and it really deserves it. It is one of the best surviving masterpieces of the Ancient Near East. For centuries the city was covered with sand and not until 1930 largely excavated. The quality of the many stone reliefs, almost 2500 years, old are magnificent

South African Utility to Expand Biogas Facility for Power
South African Utility to Expand Biogas Facility for Power
Johannesburg Water SOC Ltd. plans to expand power capacity from its biogas plant almost fourfold, to reduce electricity reliance from the state utility. The Northern waste water treatment facility uses sewage sludge to generate 1.2 megawatts of capacity. The cost of electricity that Johannesburg Water will need to run its six waste-treatment facilities will triple to more than 300 million rand annually in the next 10 years from about 95 million a year now, Peter Louw, a project engineer for the utility said. The six plants have the potential to produce 8.5 megawatts of power, he adds.
Total Outperforms BP as Investors React Positively to Spending Cuts
France's Total SA has gained 14.3 percent this year and has overtaken BP Plc in sovereign market value. The Paris-based company is now the best-performing stock among the world's five largest non-state owned oil companies. Last month, CEO Christophe de Margerie said that Total can reduce investment while increasing gas and oil production. The announcement impressed investors who are concerned about too much spending on expensive projects and would rather see cash given back to shareholders. Total's spending is expected to fall starting next year after nbso online casino reviews projects in Norway, Angola and Kazakhstan are completed.
Cape Wind Offshore Plant Anticipates Legal Hurdles Resolved by Year-End
Cape Wind Associates LLC, the developer aiming to build the first U.S. offshore wind farm, expects to resolve by year-end the last lawsuits delaying the project, clearing the way for construction to begin before a key tax credit expires this year. Vice President Dennis Duffy said that only two legal appeals remain after the company won 13 previous challenges. Cape Wind has spent more than a decade pursuing the $2.6 billion project in Nantucket Sound and looks to begin construction by Dec. 31 to earn the 30% federal investment tax credit.
Bike Lane Proposed for Keystone Pathway
Kinder Baumgardner, creative director for the SWA group which is an architectural firm that designed Google Inc.'s corporate campus, sent a letter to the State Department as well as TransCanada Corp. proposing the creation of a bike lane along Keystone's path through the country's mid-section as a possible solution to turn what is now a source of discord into a tourist attraction. Keystone opponents reacted cynically to the idea while the State Department, which is reviewing Keystone because it crosses an international border, said it had no comment on the $400 million plan.

I stayed three nights in this budget style accommodation. It occupies a 5 storey building with quite a few rooms. All rooms have their own wash basin, but shared toilets and showers on every floor.
The accomodation is clean and staff is very friendly. I payed 55 Zloty (2006) for a single room which even had a big fridge. Breakfast is not included, but there is a big PLUS Supermarket in the neighbourhood. You can buy tickets for the public transportation at the reception.

Price Comparison: less expensive than average
Directions: Dom Turystyczny TRIO is located a 20 minutes walk east of the city centre. The tram stop Mlodych Technikow (# 3, 10, 12, 20, 22) is just in front of the building.

A person who is magisterial can be distinguished and grand, or possibly just conceited and bossy. You will learn a lot if you listen to a magisterial presentation of early American history.
The Latin word for teacher is magister, so think of magisterial as describing a person with the great authority of a teacher or learned person. It can also mean related to the office of magistrate — think of magisterial documents or inquiries into a matter. If, however, someone calls you magisterial, he or she may think you are a bit pompous. It will irritate you if a person speaks to you in a magisterial tone!
Definitions of magisterial
adj of or relating to a magistrate
"official magisterial functions"
adj used of a person's appearance or behavior; befitting an eminent person
"she reigned in magisterial beauty"
- Synonyms:
- distinguished, grand, imposing
having or expressing dignity; especially formality or stateliness in bearing or appearance
adj offensively self-assured or given to exercising usually unwarranted power
"managed the employees in an aloof magisterial way"
- Synonyms:
- autocratic, bossy, dominating, high-and-mighty, peremptory
tending to domineer

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Revenue Obligations
As one of the longest established low tax jurisdictions within the EU, Ireland holds major attractions for international businesses, including highly educated staff and a 12.5% corporation tax rate for profits from Irish trading.
Ireland has a growing international tax treaty network which reduces and, in some cases, completely eliminates withholding taxes on incoming royalty payments, dividends and interest. Double tax relief is available for withholding taxes against an Irish entity's corporation tax liability.
Other important features of the Irish Tax Law include:
- There are no Controlled Foreign Company rules
- There are exemptions from capital gains tax for the disposal of qualifying participations

It finally stopped raining here in Tionesta just in time for the 4th of July weekend. I was finally able to get around to weeding my herbs. I was thrilled that Dan and I were able to find some lime basil under all the weeds! Now that the little seedlings will be getting some sun, I hope to be harvesting some leaves before too long, they smell delicious! I was a little disappointed that we didn't find any Thai basil sprouting, but herbs from seed can be fickle and we've had some real extremes in both precipitation and temperature this spring and summer so far. I was able to harvest the spent chive flowers and have a nice collection of seeds for starting them indoors when winter approaches. I've got extra if anyone is interested in starting their own. Many of my other herbs are bolting quickly this summer, so I spent a good bit of time trimming the cilantro, thyme, basil, sage,and oregano to keep the production in leaves a bit longer. I especially want the sage to keep producing leaves. Not only is it one of my favorite cooking herbs, but I dry the leaves and use them in the sage sausage we make from the hogs we raise. It worked so well last time that hope to dry enough to use in all our sausage orders this time!
The sky is blue, with big puffy clouds right now, so of course we're preparing to make another field of hay. The nice weather is supposed to stick around for a few days. This will pretty much wrap up all of our first cutting hay. We'll then wait a bit to cut second cutting, which simply means making a second crop in the same field.
The old farmer's adage is that corn should be "knee high by the 4th of July"...in this case we are in great shape, as much of it comes nearly to my waist!
