"Perfect little medieval village" Orbec-en-Auge by Beausoleil
Orbec-en-Auge Travel Guide: 1 reviews and 6 photos
We were there on a cold rainy day and it actually felt medieval. There were few people out and we were all ducking under the overhanging upper stories. The lights that were on looked very warm and welcoming and we found a marvelous little restaurant that was so good and so friendly we didn't want to leave. Alas, we eventually ate and talked our way through lunch and had to leave . . .
We visited on a Friday near the end of September and it was a miserable day. That made the restaurant seem even warmer and friendlier than it normally would. They had a fire in the fireplace and gleaming copper pans hung on the timbered walls.
This is Notre Dame and you can't miss it. It's lovely inside and we luckily happened upon a visiting choir who sang a few pieces while we all dried off inside the church. It really added atmosphere.
- Pros:Very quiet, friendly and incredibly picturesque
- Cons:Rain when we were there, but this doesn't happen every day!
- In a nutshell:Lovely town that feels very medieval and not very touristy.

How to Breed Guppies: Beginners
Breeding guppies is a very meaningful experience. After all, who wouldn't want to raise some cute guppies and breed them to find even more gorgeous little fish. However, to a beginner this may seem like a challenging task but with this article dedicated to clueless starters, you are bound to end up with some stunning guppies of your own.
An editor has suggested that this article be merged with:
"How to Breed Guppies"
Per the merge policy, if these topics are determined to be similar but distinct, then the articles will remain separate. Please comment on the discussion page. Notice added on 2012-04-12.
1Set up a 10–20 gallon (37.9–75.7 L) tank with a filter. If the filter is too strong, put tights around it to make it better. The water should be room temperature (70-75 degrees Fahrenheit). The water must be left for 6 days to mature.
2Go to a pet store and find the guppies you would wish to breed. Make sure the guppy you choose is healthy, it should be bright and colourful. Make sure you have 2-3 females to one male guppy.
3Release the fish into their new home. After you release them it is important that you leave them alone for the day. If you ever see a male bite at a female, that is a sign they might be breeding.
4When you start seeing signs that your female fish(es) are pregnant, (fatness and a dark spot on their belly) go to the pet store. You should ask for a mesh/fabric/plastic breeder/container you can put the pregnant female(s) in. If not possible, put in plenty of plants and a light.
5Once you purchase your breeder/container put the female(s) in it right away. Check every day for any fry.
6Once you spot a baby fish, remove the mother from the breeder/container and feed the baby fish. You must keep the fry in the breeder until they reach an appropriate size. The fish must be big enough so that they are not fed on by full-grown guppies.
7Watch the fry in the tank every day and feed them twice a day until they are about the size of your adult fish.
8Make sure if you don't put your fry in a breeding net,put plenty of plants that provide shelter in the aquarium.

Answered QuestionsAdd New Question

- Smash flake fish food into a powder so baby fish can eat it. Adults can eat regular flakes.
- Fries can also be fed newly hatched (this provides a clean a nutritious feed)
- Shrimp juice(juice from shrimp after cutting it up)can be poured with an eye dropper. A suitable amount would be 4-5 drops per 10-20 fries.
- Try not to shake or tap the glass too much as this may stress out the fish(es).

I was surprised that it needed to be used at full power for the first 24 hours of use. I do not need to use it at the voltage at which it flickers, so this is not a problem for me. It gives off plenty of light when needed.

I added screenshoot.png to the child theme folder, but I am not sure where I need to point to it.
Thanks for any help
Create a screenshot and call it "screenshot.png"
Now upload that to the root of your child theme's folder.
In other words, put it inside of the folder that holds the files for your child theme, but not inside any of the folders within that folder.
Correct: yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/yourchildtheme/screenshot.png

It seems as though more people are able to pay their bills on time, at least according to a recent trend in the mortgage market.
Fannie Mae said recently that the number of U.S. mortgages considered seriously delinquent dropped for the first time in three years. The rate of delinquencies dropped to 5.47 percent, though that number was just 3.15 percent a year ago.
There are a number of the different factors that can cause a homeowner to make late payments, or even no payments on their mortgage. Predominant factors contributing to mortgage delinquencies in todays economy follow.
Any consumer struggling to make payments should consult a credit counselor before their financial situation gets out of hand.

I have a whole bunch of code that is dependent on the ComboBox type, and I want to be able to use it on a new UI, but the UI that I want to use it for needs to look like a RadioButton for usability reasons. Is it possible to have a ComboBox control look like a set of RadioButtons?
My suggestion would be to use an ItemsControl with a DataTemplate that would render RadioButtons. To the ItemsControl you'd bind the same thing you're binding to the ComboBox. One caveat is that you need to set the GroupName of the radio buttons to something that would be the same to the group, so they can be mutually exclusive. Otherwise, if you don't do anything, you'll be able to select more than one RadioButton simultaneously.
You could build a new UserControl that has many of the same methods that the ComboBox class does, but adapt it so that it creates multiple radio boxes instead.
Your question is kinda vague though.
IE create an Items collection on your user control, and when something is added, draw a radio box and resize your control, instead of what a combo box does and just adds a string to the list.
Then all you have to do is find and replace all your references to ComboBox with RadioIFiedComboBox.
Heres some comparison:
The code above is just an example, you'd have to create all the methods you use in the ComboBox class and create similar functionality.

Starring in Track, Tennis and Soccer, Laurinda Mulhaupt Won't Let Blindness Put Her on the Sidelines
A 5'4" California girl next door, Laurinda began to realize there was something wrong with her eyes five years ago. The affliction was eventually diagnosed as Stargardt's disease, and though it has left her peripheral vision intact, she can see clearly only a few feet in front of her. No one knows what causes Stargardt's. "It's hereditary, but usually there's no family history because it's a recessive gene and never expresses itself until two partners carry it," says ophthalmologist Dr. James R. Brinkley, a clinical associate professor at the USC School of Medicine. "It's very rare, and there's no corrective surgery. But I'd say the odds are pretty strong that her vision will remain at this level."
From the beginning, Laurinda has been determined not to let her problem take over her life. "It just made me want to work harder," she says. "Sometimes in the morning I look in the mirror, and I can't see my face very good, and I think, 'Oh, my God, is it getting worse?' But I just have to look closer. I guess what really bothers me more than anything else is not being able to see faces real good. Like last night, I went to a play, and everyone's laughing because of the actors' expressions, and I couldn't see their faces. But that's really my fault because I could use binoculars."
Laurinda's parents, Richard and Linda Mulhaupt, both teachers, took the news harder. "They really broke down when they heard," she says. Then, because she did not want to be pitied, they agreed to keep her failing vision a secret. For almost three years, Laurinda, a solid B-plus student, simply sat close to the chalkboard in classes, borrowed friends' notes and bought books with large type. Almost nobody noticed. Kerry Leander, the tennis coach, had seen Laurinda play when he coached at a rival school last year. "I not only had no idea she had this eye problem then, I also didn't know about it through the first couple of months of this season," he says, "although one teacher asked if I'd seen anything different about her, because she seemed to hold books real close to her face." Laurinda finally told him of her condition. "He just said something like, 'No wonder she couldn't hit those volleys,' " she recalls. "I'm not really good at the net, so I usually play back."
The family decided to disclose Laurinda's secret after they were approached for a story about her sports success by the L.A. Times, which didn't know of her disorder. Getting it out in the open was a relief for Laurinda, though reactions to the story sometimes amused her. "All these people started writing me letters and stuff, saying you're such an inspiration and da, da, da," she says. "Then five people who had Stargardt's called or wrote and told me they have these telescopic lenses. I'm probably going to start using those for classes and stuff. So it's been real good I went public."
This being California, however, many of Laurinda's peers simply can't comprehend the enormity of one aspect of her disability. "Yeah, I can't drive," she says philosophically. "Everyone's like, 'Wheeeerrre's your caaarrr?' I mean, this is Mission Viejo. Everyone drives a car. And I tell them I don't have my license, and they say, 'Whhhyyyy?' And I tell them my eyes aren't good enough, and they say, 'Get glaaaasssses.' And I say, 'They don't work,' and it just goes on like this."
Laurinda still carries a rigorous academic schedule—math analysis, chemistry, history and French. When she attends college in two years, she plans to continue with athletics and to concentrate on her strongest sport, track. In the meantime she'll just do what comes naturally—everything, including skiing on snow and on water. "If I can't see something, I just fall," she says. "My dad is always saying, 'You do too much.' But I think that's what we're here for—to do all we can."
—By Ken Gross, with Rick Holmstrom in Mission Viejo

Skip to comments.When Are We Going to Grow Up? The Juvenilization of American Christianity
Posted on 06/10/2012 12:45:09 PM PDT by SoFloFreeper
We're all adolescents now
The house lights go down. Spinning, multicolored lights sweep the auditorium. A rock band launches into a rousing opening song. "Ignore everyone else, this time is just about you and Jesus," proclaims the lead singer. The music changes to a slow dance tune, and the people sing about falling in love with Jesus. A guitarist sporting skinny jeans and a soul patch closes the worship set with a prayer, beginning, "Hey God
" The spotlight then falls on the speaker, who tells entertaining stories, cracks a few jokes, and assures everyone that "God is not mad at you. He loves you unconditionally."
(Excerpt) Read more at christianitytoday.com ...
I urge anyone here who is a Christ follower to take the time and read it--even if you have to do it in "shifts", since the article is quite lengthy.
Bergler does NOT think all modernization is bad--but that it should not be EVERYTHING the church is about.
A few excerpts follow, but please read the whole thing.
Here are some worthy excerpts from the article:
Bergler urges churches to become places where there are mature adults helping kids to become grown up--and places where kids help the adults to become more passionate.
I was just today watching a live sermon online where a preacher of a huge mega church was talking about Paul's discourse (1Cor. 8) on whether Christians should eat meat sacrificed to idols. He likened it to today's culture and brought a six pack of beer out of the podium and was trying to say that drinking beer is ok because you have freedom in Christ. ???? He should have talked about halal meat instead. I turned it off.
The problem is that churches no longer strive to worship and obey God. They seek to please man. In doing so, they create their own god who thinks just as they do.
Being an old school Calvinist myself, I disapprove of Christ being hawked as if He were just another entertainment option.
Excellent article. I would suggest that spiritual maturity is not about what God will do for us or even what we can do for God. It really about purging the sins in our lives; the little foxes that spoil the vineyard. God will take care of the rest.
There is a small church up the road, Sonshine Baptist that has recently been taken over by a group of malcontents who have recently left their Bethel Baptist church, they are going to take the pews out and rename in Sonshine church.
It will be like so many churches that spring up overnight and die just as quickly. It will be the church of ME and how I feel, forget theology, forget Truth, this is all about me. it needs to be fun, it needs to fit MY needs and MY philosophy. They will use their interpretation of the Bible to tell them that they are doing everything right...until someone disagrees and leaves to find or found another church that fits what they want to believe and it too will die.
Wow, you really missed the boat on that one, din'cha?
and halal meat really is one of those issues we wrestle with every day, huh?
I am not going to critique the article, but the excerpts are interesting.
Christianity for as long as I have known it...has always had hippies and guitars. In my youth I used to always go on Friday nights to the local Christian Church to rock out with Jesus.
There were two doors the 'faith' could have gone through at that time. One marked with the study of learning what Jesus' love in our lives means and our responsibility to that kind of unconditional lover. The other door, which I think was the opening to the progressive church, led to a false testimony of faith.
I only see this now as our faith fights to stay relevent in a progressive world. I am still seeking the right church for me, as my longing for blessed Bible teaching weighs heavy. But, here where I live I find many references to the idea of social justice.
My last interview with a pastor had me asking him about Matthew 6:33 and of sparrows. Verses the ever persistent pressures of social justice actions waged in the name of the church?
"Christianity for as long as I have known it...has always had hippies and guitars . . . "
Imagine the frustration of those who knew otherwise, those who had come to love the austerity, silence, and holiness of the house of God, even the sermons that reprimanded them for their sinfulness. Church wasn't for 'reaching out' or cameraderie; it was for union with Christ—difficult even under those world-rejecting conditions.
Give sermonaudio.com a try.
Can I say that it bothers me when I see congregation members sitting in God's house sipping on coffee they bought inside the church?
I don't know, I just go back to the OT, to how God and Moses impressed upon the Israelites how utterly holy His house is. What would have been His response if one of them sauntered in, carrying a goats' milk latte?
All of society is being juvenilized, ever since the boomers became influential in the 1950's. Christianity is just another victim of the ongoing desire to please youth first and foremost. Look at our juvenile president, and number 42 was just as juvenile. Ugh!
A giant Ward Cleaver needs to come out of the ocean and clobber us.
The Seinfeld or Friends effect on TV. Grown men shown hanging out and acting like they are 18 years old. Never maturing or marrying.
The opposite was shown on TV when I was a kid. Kids were shown to be doing adult things; ahead of their years.
Most of those were Westerns.
Careful what you wish for...

Just an aside here, many of the 'hippies' I know are more mature than the 'others' I know.
A few years ago we moved from southern california to the midwest, there are no evangelical churches here within a 40 mile radius, we have Lutherans and Methodists. They pride themselves on their silence and austerity, but really have no idea of basic theology or Christian life outside of church. It is sad.
I'm not saying all 'modern' Christians are mature, or that all 'old school' Christians are empty, I am saying that spiritual immaturity occurs in both groups.
That was a transition period. Yes there were many great sitcoms and westerns in the day showing kids properly disciplined and given responsibility. That lasted up until the late 60's. The anti authority, anti adult, hippie movement completely changed everything.
Then man returned the favor.
Gee, thanks for THAT barista visual....
Other than Christ lives in each of the believers today rather than an edifice or building. You can go back to the Old Testament if you want but God doesnt inhabit a building any more.
So are you saying you find the OT completely irrelevant and that you never read it?
While I understand that Christ lives in those who have accepted Him, a church is called "God's house" for a reason. When two are more are gathered together, He IS there——and suitable reverence does not include having refreshments while you worship, IMO.
I love it! How very true.
What happens in Moslem dominated countries with halal is very simple ~ when everybody wants only halal you have no other choices. Don't prove to the barbarians that you are stiff necked by starving to death.
Now that's not such a strange admonition when you realize that numerous Jains have actually starved to death in modern Western states by attempting to adhere to their own dietary rules.
Around here we have a number of kebab places. Never seen charshu pork in one of them, but I do know that all of their meat is halal ('cause they are all members of Moslem sects that do head chopping so it better be halal). Still, why would I eat at a kebab place? Well, for the kebab. They are all pretty decent spots to eat. I doubt the Moslems are misled about my concerns for their ceremonies.
I sometimes eat at kosher restaurants, and we even had a Chinese Kosher restaurant here throughout the Clinton Regime (owned by Charlie Trie). Thai restaurants go one further ~ I don't know particularly what ceremonies they go through preparing for their day's work, but they decide how your food will be spiced and salted ~ none of the authentic places put out any condiments. You get what you are served and that's that.
Back in the days of the Disciples they lived cheek to jowl with Romans and Greeks who did actual sacrifice to idols ~ rather like modern Hindus do actual sacrifice to idols ~ usually a banana slice burned over a small alcohol flame.
I don't eat the banana slice, but I do know there are those who do, and with whipped cream if available. But the one thing that doesn't happen in this country is the big sacrifice that you have to attend on a regular basis or you get your head chopped off.
I do believe the Apostles had a concern with that ~ and not eating the sacrifice was the least of the problems involving Classical idol worship.
I miss the holy house of God where I came to respectfully be with Him. I cannot tolerate the churches of today.
So, I pray on my own. I go to a Eucharistic Adoration Chapel where I can be in His presence. I do not want God to just listen to me, I want to listen to Him and this is the only way I can do that.
I have trouble doing that with all the hoopla going on in church today.
Jesus was present with the Disciples at the last supper
Breaking bread as a symbol for his body and wine as his blood. I guess what you are saying is that folks drinking coffee in church are not in a "reverential" state by doing so
Question 1: Did God make you judge and jury about what is and is not "reverential?
Question 2: You are of course familiar with the loaves and the fishes used to feed the multitude as Jesus spoke and was among them, must seem blasphemous to you
My point is God is about love and not rituals. If I am alone on a desert Island and I talk to God am I damned because there are not "2" there as a previous poster implied?
I say you think what you want, there are 2 there
Me and God, actually 3 if you count the Holy Spirit who was given to us by God as our companion
So you believe and feel what you want and others can do so as well, if you think God is going to pull you off to the side when you get to heaven and say "nice move on that coffee call" and high five you then go for it
I think he is just a little bit bigger and wiser than that
And just for the record yes I am an ordained minister, not one who marches around spouting laws but love as Christ instructed us
God Bless
PS - Note that Jesus never mentions buildings as the Church, he means the community of all followers with our without a building
Currently the hermits are kept well to the back, but they're still there. The internet has come along just in time to preserve that form of reverential life.
Looks like I hit a nerve. You must be from one of the coffee-selling churches.
I am not a religious person, but I find religion as entertainment offensive.
Sometimes peaceful life in the centers of civilization was impossible and you'd have whole communities of HERMITS pop up out in the country.
The form of worship typical of the hermits is different than what most Christian bodies do today although you can find individuals still doing it.
The internet allows you to maintain contact with the outside on your own terms while allowing you the isolation to engage in meditative worship away from all those people.
Is that clearer?
I guess I'm small minded.
"Note that Jesus never mentions buildings as the Church, he means the community of all followers with our without a building"
AMEN, Bro!
Christians need to consider the corrosive effects of the idea that we all can (and must) live at each other's expense. They should wake up to how socialism must and does directly violate two of the Ten Commandments, those that prohibit coveting and theft.
God tells us in many places and in many ways that when we reject His values, he will reject us. Allowing creeping socialism is one big of the bigger causes of people not attaining very much spiritual growth in this era.
"A lot of old timers who are unable to see some of the fundamental cultural changes that have occurred since the 60s see the lack of marriage as a problem resulting from male immaturity, but I would say that the decline in marriage is as much, if not more, due to a lack of maturity and morality among women."
I lay the blame on both sides; marriage is a losing proposition legally for men (who risk far more than women), and many women don't want children (or at least more then one). I've quoted here before from a T-shirt I've seen: "Why get married? Just find a nasty women and buy her a house."
Does a different translation say "When two are more are gathered together IN A BUILDING, He IS there"
I missed that one. You are transferring part of your worship to a BUILDING, (an idol). We don't allow food or drink in our sanctuary, because we want to keep it nice and clean. It isn't because we think God would be offended. How would you know that God wouldn't like lattes?
The meaning behind that verse is that it doesn't matter where you are, if you gather together in His name He'll be there with you. No building required.
Contemporary church song (parody):
If Christians used modern arts to push the Biblical doctrines of Christianity to young people, who could complain? But the young are in charge of the modern arts and they are, for the most part, lacking in wisdom - immoral.
Christian churches, in the majority, have become preachers of death and sin. They do not exercise the intellegence God gave them to explain the Bible's unchangable laws of nature (Creation) in terms young people can understand. Stupid or evil?
My bible says to sing a NEW song unto the Lord.
What I'm about to say has nothing to do with denomination or anything like that.
It's like this: As a Catholic and as an Episcopalian,I have sometimes been involved with training "lay readers." That is members of the congregation who want to read from Scripture during the services.
One of the problems is people who want to "put meaning into the reading." I get what they're saying. Some flat, dull, boring readings are an insult to the congregation and to the Bible.
But you don't need to put meaning into it. It has all the meaning you could ever imagine and more. It is, in fact, a kind of blasphemy to think that Scripture needs readers to put meaning into it.
I ended saying, "Read as one who listens would read." Of course they did not understand me.
And similarly with some clergy. The Gospel, all by itself, is powerful enough to reshape the universe. If you are a member of a "sacramental" and "liturgical" church, that only makes sense if you believe that the sacraments and the liturgy are of transcendental value and meaning. Otherwise it's just theatre.
But these bozos think they need to put meaning into worship. Nope. That's God's job, and He's REAL good at it.
I have nothing against electric guitars and drums — nothing theological anyway. I do think repetitious and meretricious hymnody is bad, because it is not our best, and we should give God our best. But that's a minor issue.
But as long a our clergy and "worship directors" think that the Word of God and (where applicable) the liturgy and sacraments cannot stand on their own but need our vain stage tricks to hold them up, that long we will have banal worship which is more about the "performers" than about God and his Love.
Why are you assuming I meant "in a building" when I said nothing of the kind?
He is with any two or more WHEREVER they gather——in a building, or outside of one. Stop trying to make an argument out of nothing.
There is a lot to be said for silence.
FR needs a like button.
Clearer? Well, it's....interesting, as most of your posts tend to be. :)
In the beginning God created man in his own image.
Then man returned the favor.
All I know is that we go to a church that gives out free coffee and donuts in the mornings, and it is very contemporary.
My husband went to a Lutheran church and got turned off by it in college. He was very anti-church for a very long time.
Since our kids found the church we are going to, he now likes to go to church. He likes the music, but he loves the sermons. They are very relevant to things going on in our lives.
Our pastor's son just passed away from a freak accident, and he just came back to the pulpit. He's been on fire since he came back with great sermons. It's more like he is going through trials right along with us, and he is so relatable.
I think there is a place for different styles of worship as long as the theology is strong.
I grew up in a Methodist church, and I won't go to them anymore because they may have traditional services their theology has gotten very liberal.
Canticum novum ...
Today we sang a 600+ year old hymn - Pange Lingua.
It was new to me. And I know parts of it by heart.
He makes the old new.
Try re-reading the first recorded words of Jesus. Note the location, and the respect that the parishoners demonstrated there.
It has become about the performers otherwise why do people applaude in church after the choir sings a hymn?
"I would say that the decline in marriage is as much, if not more, due to a lack of maturity and morality among women."
This is especially true when you properly define maturity as being held accountable for you actions.
Spiritual authority is commonly misunderstood as it is defined in God's Word. Since the husband is the authority in a marriage, it is in women's sin nature to rebel against man, not God.
This is not what is commonly thought of as a woman "obeying" the orders of her man. There is nothing wrong with a woman expecting her husband to treat her properly, but women tend to usurp man's authority by acting as the infallible judge of her man's character.
Before either spouse in a marriage criticizes their partner, they should go to God in prayer, and make sure their motives are pure and they have no sin problem of their own.
It is rare to find a true Godly woman who can live up to the standards of behavior she imposes upon her husband.
I have found that extreme hypocrisy is one common trait of the Godless people who do not have a true relationship with God, and have the Holy Spirit truly guiding their behaviors.

Hawii was born back in December, but just recently made his first debut at the African Savannah Exhibit in France.
This little rhino was born at the Zoological Center Tel Aviv-Ramat Gan. She is part of important conservation efforts that hope to someday help stop the decline of the white rhinoceros population in Africa.
In South Africa, cats are just hopping on rhinos for the ride.
Check out this, probably very rude, kitty letting the rare black rhinoceros do all the work:
OK, OK, it's not exactly a cat. Rather, it's an animal called a genet. Genets are merely cat-like animals that are actually more closely related to mongooses.
But they look a lot like cats!
National Geographic gives an expert opinion of just what in the hell that
cat genet is doing up there:
Craig Sholley, wildlife biologist and vice president of the African Wildlife Foundation, says genets likely jump on big herbivores to search for food.
For one, the genet eats insects that the rhino stirs up from the grass, the same technique cattle egrets use on grazing mammals. Sholley says it's also possible the nocturnal genet was searching for ticks that latch onto rhinos and buffaloes.
The rhino also offers the nocturnal, tree-dwelling animal a vantage point from which to scan for their prey, which includes anything from a dung beetle to a baby antelope.
Perching on a large, slow-moving animal could be a great hunting technique—until that animal-turned-lookout gets fed up.
Yeah, either that, or genets just have places to be and Uber hasn't rolled out to South Africa yet.

Fantastic hospitality, lovely roomsPosted Jan 7, 2009
When we arrived, we were shown to our room, the Jacob Metzler suite. The suite was lovely, including a working tuned piano in the living area, with a nice couch, dining table, tv, and a selection of movies and books. We were shown the hearty savory breakfast casserole in the mini-fridge, ready to be put in the microwave for our breakfast, a large selection of baked goods, and a jar of ground coffee for use in the Gevalia coffee maker. The bed and bathroom were lovely and spotless(though the bed was a bit small for my 6'3" husband and I to share with as much space as we're used to - likely just a full/double size).

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D The Gift of Music - Ring Flute http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=57529&th=11748#msg_57529 <![CDATA[Shapeways and 3D printing allowed me to solve ALL of my most difficult design dilemmas. Moving away from 2 bonded pieces, to a single printed instrument.

 The idea for a circular flute came from some of my travels. On the other side of the world, in Yangshuo China, I was mesmerized by a Cantonese street performer (a very gifted bamboo flute player). Over a two-week period, I sat on the street corner for hours a day listening to him play. On my last day in the area, I tried describing a South American Ocarina flute to him using only hand gestures (I cannot speak Cantonese). The ocarina's hollow football shape was not easy to describe. However, I found a piece of garden hose littered in the street that maybe could assist me. I placed the ends together, end-to-end. That was not really the shape I had intended and more than anything I think that I just really confused him. So, I walked away nodding my head, wondering what he thought this dumb foreigner might be trying to do with a piece of garden hose.

 Over the next few days on Transiberian train, I had plenty of time to think and the garden hose shape kept popping up in my daydreams. I began to wonder... what if? Could it work? ...........Maybe?

 Material Details: egg shell blue ceramic
 Acoustics: great tone with a haunting hollow sound - I will get a sound clip recorded asap.

The beneficial rain Northern Michigan saw Monday night into Tuesday boosted some places back to near if not well above normal for the month.
Just about every single portion of Northern Michigan was running below normal for the month in rain with some areas not seeing a drop of rain all month long until Monday night/Tuesday. By a fairly wide margin, the heaviest rain fell closer to Lake Huron with spots from Alcona County through Alpena into the Eastern U.P. around the St. Mary's River seeing anywhere from 3-5" rain!
Here are the numbers this August for a few places before and after the recent rain:
SAULT STE. MARIE:Rain Through Last Sunday: 0.01"Rain Through Today: 1.23"Departure From Normal: 0.00"
TRAVERSE CITY:Rain Through Last Sunday: Trace"Rain Through Today: 1.00"Departure From Normal: -0.33"
ALPENA:Rain Through Last Sunday: Trace"Rain Through Today: 3.86"Departure From Normal: +2.68"
HOUGHTON LAKE:Rain Through Last Sunday: 0.74"Rain Through Today: 1.08"Departure From Normal: -0.27"
Even with the recent rain, Traverse City and Houghton Lake are still running below normal for the month although less than a half inch for each spot. Alpena is the big winner running over two and half inches above normal for August.
Dry weather forecasted through Friday with another chance for showers/thunderstorms arriving Friday night into Saturday.

stock down (worst pharma down) and someone knows. the question is what is the news and how low does it go? Does this stock usually rise after earnings??
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Wouldn't assume anything really wrong. Last spring I saw the stock nicely increase then go down. I thought something might be wrong then but "boom", there was an awesome announcement and stock jumped 80%.
Sales for cystic fibrosis drug should show increase and the Hep C drug should still have strong sales. 2 years ago this company hardly had revenue and was losing money. Now the company is bringing in about $300M to $400M a quarter.
A $10B market cap company bringing in $1B in revenue a year at least is good. The company had large expansion past year so hopefully has some of that grown better managed.
I agree; something is wrong. The stock price is down! :)
yeah, nasdaq and dow are up today (not much but up). vrtx is in the 48's again. either earnings are bad or a trial is bad and news leaked. only LLY, SNY, BMY and this junk are red. GILD is rocking. Being down in one thing. Having news leak is another.
Cramer curse. He pumped VRTX last week at $59 an change and his sheep followed him right off the cliff.

Skydiving is on so many people's bucket lists - and there's a good reason! Soaring through the air, free as a bird, is absolutely exhilarating. Skydiving London experiences are ideal for anniversaries, birthdays, and special events, and are also fun challenges to set yourself. On a practical level, going skydiving is also good for getting rid of a fear of heights: many people opt to do a skydive for this reason, too. There are lots of options for skydiving in the nation's capital, from military experiences to brightly coloured parachute rides.
If you are thinking of Skydiving in London, then Skydive London is a great place to go to because you can choose the type of skydive that you do. Perhaps you would like to do a tandem skydive, for instance, strapped to the body of an instructor? Or maybe you would like to do a whole course of lessons in freefall technique? Maybe what matters most to you is getting an amazing photo of yourself in the air, which you can later show off to friends and family? All this and more is available at places like Skydive London.
As well as offering similar options to Skydive London (such as tandem diving), the London Parachute School, also offers you the chance to enjoy indoor skydiving in a unique environment that simulates the experience of being high up in the air. Indoor skydiving is perfect for practicing and is also great for people who feel a little afraid of jumping out of a plane right away. But, if you start out with an indoor skydive, make sure to at least think of doing a real skydive over London: the views that you will experience over the capital will be unrivaled. That said, there are plenty of options in London, so make sure to do your homework and choose the best option for you.
It is a good idea to talk to your instructor about what you want from the skydive, and to ask any questions that you have. They will then explain the dive to you and everything that you need to do and know. When choosing a place to go skydiving, make sure to look out for British Parachute Association approved skydive instructors and schools. The British Parachute Association (or BPA) is the main body in the UK for training and checking skydive instructors, so you will know that you are in safe hands if your instructor is BPA approved. The cost of skydiving varies, depending on the type of dive you are doing and sometimes on whether you want optional extras such as photos. This is also something that you can discuss individually with your skydive instructor before you make a booking. So go on, challenge yourself to a skydive over London: it will be the experience of a lifetime.Looking for the best Skydiving London has to offer? If you enjoy hurtling to the ground at over 100 miles per hour then these deals for skydiving in London for Parachuting are perfect for you! If this sounds a little scary then these vouchers for parachuting can also be used for a tandem parachute jump. People living in London that enjoy parachuting and skydiving will love these vouchers. Those who have never jumped before can use them to have the thrill of a lifetime with a tandem jump. This involves being attached to an experienced parachutist, who will let you enjoy a jump safely. There are plenty of professional London sky diving companies that will very happy to accept these vouchers. They will also make ideal presents for any friends or family who want to try sky diving.

CFTC Investigates The "Secret" HFT-Exchange Incentive Programs
It would appear that yesterday's announcement by NY AG Schneiderman (who appeared to find Virtu's practically flawless trading record too much to bear) has prompted further investigations into HFT shenanigans by regulators. As WSJ reports, regulators are taking aim at the relationship between high-frequency trading firms and major exchanges, examining whether the preferential treatment market operators offer the firms puts other investors at a disadvantage. The CFTC probe is focused on complicated, often opaque incentive programs that give high-volume trading firms financial benefits such as discounts on fees the exchanges charge to execute trades.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission is investigating deals between large high-speed firms and the two futures-exchange operators, CME Group and IntercontinentalExchange Group according to people familiar with the matter.
Separately, Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement officials are investigating whether stock exchanges provide advantages to certain clients, including high-frequency traders, by designing software programs that can give preferential treatment to their orders, and whether such details have been fully disclosed, people familiar with that inquiry said.
Regulators are concerned that less-savvy or less-influential investors aren't aware of the benefits and advantages that exchanges are providing to certain clients, making it difficult for them to compete fairly, according to people familiar with the investigations.
So far, market watchdogs have done little to curb such trading, which has boomed and now makes up about half of all stock-market volume.
The CFTC probe is focusing on contracts tied to high-volume commodities such as crude oil, among other trading, and whether exchanges are pressuring some clients to trade such contracts exclusively on their venue, according to the people familiar with the probe. It also is targeting deals struck privately between exchanges and trading firms that aren't disclosed to other trading outfits.
"There shouldn't be secret deals," said Mark Gorton, chief executive of Tower Research Capital, a U.S. high-frequency trading firm. "The big players shouldn't have better rates than the little players."
Among the firms in focus are New York high-speed giant Virtu Financial Inc., which last week disclosed in a regulatory filing that the CFTC is "looking into our trading during the period from July 2011 to November 2013 and specifically our participation in certain incentive programs offered by exchanges or venues during that time period."
Defenders say such programs help boost the number of orders on the exchanges, making it easier for other investors to buy and sell futures contracts... But, the CFTC's concerns is that the programs can encourage traders to engage in strategies that boost volumes but harm other investors.
Yet another worrying risk for the Virtu IPO... but then again, as long as it doesn't IPO in Japan (like Japan Display's terrible opening last night) the current exuberance will, we are sure, guarantee the greater fools will give the Virtu executives their exit at "peak HFT".
It appears the probes are working... (via WSJ),
Marketwired, a provider of news releases such as corporate earnings and economic data, has decided to stop providing the releases directly to high-frequency traders, according to people familiar with the matter.
Marketwired is expected to sign a deal to stop the practice with New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who has stepped up efforts to crack down on abusive practices by high-frequency firms, the people said.
The news follows a decision last month by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. 's Business Wire to stop providing high-speed traders direct access to corporate earnings and other market-moving press releases following consultations with Berkshire Chief Warren Buffett and Mr. Schneiderman's office.
The ties between Marketwired, based in Toronto, and Business Wire were first reported in a Wall Street Journal article last month.

Eric Holder will never allow the cronies to suffer. This will go nowhere.
CFTC Investigates...
Glad they used those 2 words to start the article, made it so much easier to ignore.
Well all the animals are out of the barn, time to close the doors.
I believe a ZHer offered the remedy in case some legal agency was interested in fairness ... that was to either charge by quote, and/or by trade, and/or penalize cancellations.
Still won't matter. Those "opaque" discounts to large volume and influential trading firms will continue. If not those, some other innovation that allows middle man skimming. Do you really think government regulators have the incentive and ability to catch up?
how providing the necessary liquidity of 14 quadrillion quotes to complete 1 transaction can be regarded as anything other than noble is frankly remarkable. We should be thanking these modern day pharisees.
I use to think an investigation would draw conclusions and find facts, now I have learned that they are just to jusitfy the investigating bodies existence - no more.
the CFTC?
yeah, theyll "shirley" get to the bottom of things...
say, how'd that investigation of blatant Gold and Silver manipulation turn out???
What's an investigation?
Is that when you invest in a government official to rig a market?
In three years they will tell us they found nothing like Silver munipulation.
CFTC - Criminal Financial Theft Conspirators
Think if Putin was in charge of the CFTC he would be able to find any wrongdoing?
Sargent Schultz ... (SEC - CFTC) "I see nothing"...
That underling bastard of mine must be at the top of that ponzi.
Nothing that some hookers, blow, and a life time's subscription to their favorite porn site won't sweep under the rug.
the fbi, the sec, and cftc work for the squid
And maybe before we start a nuclear war we will have the satisfaction of seeing the "orange skinned one" wearing the same color in her jumpsuit attire.
One can only hope!
Is this where we discuss closing the barn door after the horses have already bolted?
SEC's Fine = SEC's Porn Budget Revenue.
What a fucking joke.
Is this like when the FBI finally "found" Whitey Bulger just when the US Marshalls were going to start looking?
Somewhere in the CFTC and SEC, "shit, if the NY AG's people go looking, they are going to find all that evidence we have been turning our backs on."
Providing better rates for heavy traders isn't the real crime. Providing better, faster less opaque market info is. CFTC should be looking at "superuser" status of the market makers that the exchanges provide and how said users get preferential treatment when it comes to market data.
The "secret deals" the large volume HFT outfits get is only a minor part of the problem. The major issue is the front running. Skimming billions from actual market participants is stealing, plain and simple. And the CFTC knows this is going on already. Any news leak about an investigation is just propaganda. They won't do a fucking thing.
"examining whether the preferential treatment market operators offer the firms puts other investors at a disadvantage"
that'll take a lot of skill to come up with a "no".
CFTC are a shameless bunch of sold out dickheads.
How they can cash their paychecks with a straight face is the only question I would have for them.
May their nether regions be infested with a million crab lice while their hemorrhoids drag the ground.
The exchanges give:
1.Discounts for volume.
2.Information before anyone else.
3.Direct connection.
Seems like the definiton of a DC lobbyist except for the discount.
Another 'innovation' which is completely useless and does nothing but suck marrow out of the system. I have yet to read a single compelling economic piece about how HFT traders enhance US capitalism or market trading in general besides gross generalizations including BS about increased liquidity, etc.
SO are we being set up so that "full disclosure" of "secret deals" makes HFT OK? (As the argument of the CFTC takes a non-disclosure focus rather than a focus on what is just plain unfair - early information to a few partcipants that pay for it and allowing technological advantage to be a price discovery and price creation advantage to the disadvantage the majority of other market players.)
THe question of whether HFT is unfair shows how far from reality the regulators and wall street have gone in deluding themselves and obfuscating their thinking and language into doublespeak. To believe early disclosure of information could possibly be fair so badly begs the question as to be ludicrous. Why not just ask "Can we make unfair trading advantages, grinding markets for discounts and payola for disclosure of information earlier to some market participants LOOK FAIR to everyone we are screwing?"
On one side the definite opportunity to "short" HFT companies that will dissappear with proper rulings.

Sea-fights above and below the waves, in the Battle of the Atlantic! This mission report tells the story of my last two missions - or more accurately, battles - in Atlantic Fleet's dynamic campaign. One is a U-Boat action, the other involves only surface ships, but otherwise they have not been chosen specially; they're just what came my way most recently. The campaign plays like a random...
