Netgear has fraud warranty
This review is from: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2-bay (diskless) w/ 3 yr warranty
Pros: Worked for a running total of about 4-5 hours. I bought this so I could encode my DVDs to stream to my TV. I transferred 4 movies and installed Plex on the NAS and on my smart TV. Worked great for 2 movies. Since then, it has been powered off for about 1.5 years, never to be powered on. Wifey asks me to put the DVDs on the media server so we can clear space out for our growing Blu-Ray collection....Now to the cons...
Cons: I power the thing on and boom, no volumes found. I pull the drives and slave PC, the files are there and the drives work fine. I search Netgear's site for FAQs. I do everything in the knowledge base. I perform an OS reinstall, I reset it back to factory. Nothing works. I use a second HDD, same deal. As soon as it gets flashed to default, their RAIDar program won't even recognize it on the network.
Other Thoughts: The techs tell me to put my unit into Tech Support mode so they can look at it, since I have done everything else. When doing so, they respond "so should I sign you up for the $75 per incident fee?" I'm an IT systems Engineer so I have a pretty good idea when something is broken.

Non existing technical support unless you pay them.
This review is from: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2-bay (diskless) w/ 3 yr warranty
Pros: Fast transfer over my gigabit network.
Cons: I can't delete files so I called the technical customer support.
Other Thoughts: I would not recommend Netgear products unless you have deep IT knowledge and do not need to read manuals or contact support.

Great NAS Device!
This review is from: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2-bay (diskless) w/ 3 yr warranty
Pros: I don't know why people keep saying this is so hard to set up. Its really not that bad at all, you only need to follow the directions. Updating the OS can be a bit tricky because there's a slightly confusing cyclic instruction on the interface about powering down the device, but once you figure that out its a breeze. I put some WD Caviar Green drives in there, and it was a breeze!
Cons: I can see how if you're really not into tech (aka your son or daughter bought you an iPhone to get you up to tech speed...) this might be too much to take without assistance. Other than that, don't worry - you'll be fine.
Other Thoughts: Connect to ethernet on your LAN network for much faster transfer speeds when you need to backup large databases or files.

Shockingly slow in ESXi 5
This review is from: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2-bay (diskless) w/ 3 yr warranty
Pros: Fast enough in ESXi 5 using NFS (up to 80mbps). High quality construction and running a fully usable linux distribution.
Cons: Bought to use as storage in ESXi 5 via iscsi. Firmware 4.2.20 is the first version to support esxi 5, I installed 4.2.22 which is supposed to have further refinements. Using dedicated intel gig nics and a crossover cable, I can only get around 2 to 4mbps to the NAS over iscsi. NFS is much higher at around 80mbps, but iscsi is effectively useless.
Other Thoughts: I've tried several work arounds including disabling header and data digests, setting static discovery, different nics, cables, even going so far as to get into the NAS itself and mess with the ietd.conf. Hopefully a newer firmware will make this dude love iscsi. Not sending it back, still very useful via NFS and great for ghetto-vcb.

Broke on me today
This review is from: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2-bay (diskless) w/ 3 yr warranty
Pros: Faster than my d-link, hot swappable (maybe never tried it cause it broke on me before I could), software is ok
Cons: Slow on apple TV, not a real iTunes server (it only sees music).
Other Thoughts: I don't TRUST Netgear anymore. I though I'd try them. But no more after this.

This review is from: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2-bay (diskless) w/ 3 yr warranty
Pros: The drive works well with the a pair of 2TB Seagate ST2000DL003 drives purchased together from Newegg. Drives physically installed quickly and easily; the mounting screws were even included. The hardrive and CPU temps stayed within their normal range even during the initial 1TB+ load to the drives. The fan can kick up dust/papers on any shelf it's placed on but the noise isn't excessive. Overall very happy with the physical aspects of this device.
Cons: I didn't notice when purchasing this item that all the other reviewers rated themselves as somewhat high or high in technical knowledge. While I have extensive computer knowledge, it is not in the area of networking. I believe this is the source of my poor initial experience with this Netgear product. I found the product setup and usage very unfriendly for the novice and the instructions from Netgear extremely frustrating. The documentation seems to always tell me to see another section/document for any details. I went through 5 different Netgear "guides" for the product before reverting to Google and alternative sources of troubleshooting. 4 days and several hours of research later it's still not fully configured. I gave up and called one of my network savy friends to finish the job for me.
Other Thoughts: Rating of 5 on the hardware minus 2 for the poor documentation. If you have a tech savy friend, consultant you can hire, or a just want to get some hands on learning with networking , go for it. It's been a rock solid device so far.

This review is from: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2-bay (diskless) w/ 3 yr warranty
Pros: Good speed
Cons: Would be nice to see an active directory connector for authentication
Other Thoughts: Great product. Much faster read and write speeds compared to a Dlink device that I've had for a few years. Currently I can sustain 350mbps write to the device, with the limiting factor probably being my switches. Its great having ISCSI, I use this with a few ESXi boxes and am really impressed with how it operates.

Very quiet. Tons of features
This review is from: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2-bay (diskless) w/ 3 yr warranty
Pros: I got a ReadyNAS because it's the only NAS box that can run the Logitech SqueezeServer music streaming server natively... saving me having to get a whole system or leave one running all the time. If you want to do the same thing get atleast the Ultra 2 like I did as everyone on the Logitech forums says the Duo is too slow. Besides for about $70 over the price of a Duo you get 4x the memory and 5x the processor speed... why wouldn't you. So what's good? Quick and super easy setup, silent operation, can connect a usb printer to your network, backup software included, can connect more drives via usb, supports nfs in addition to more common protocols, can be configured to power down at certain hours, will automatically scrub disks, you can get shell access to the actual system. Unobtrusive size too. For the future if you want to upgrade the size you just have to remove one drive and replace with a bigger one. wait for it to sync and then replace the second... couldn't be easier.
Cons: Make sure you check the hardware compatability list before buying your drives or you won't be supported. I got 2TB Western Digital Caviar Greens since I wanted low power and quiet. These certainly aren't the fastest drives out there but to sync the mirroring took 6hrs.

Nice device, decent price
This review is from: NETGEAR ReadyNAS Ultra 2-bay (diskless) w/ 3 yr warranty
Pros: -plenty of tech-savvy options available (pwr dwn)
Cons: -not a straight forward setup (took hours)
Other Thoughts: I had previously used a Linksys Mediahub. It did the job, but left me feeling disapointed due to speed and some odd behaviour. The ReadyNAS has been a step above, however the initial install and setup was not nearly as simple as it was on the Linksys. The added features and active online community are two huge benefits that make this device more than worth the trouble. Not for the average or below average tech knowledge level though.

This is a highly recommended place to visit while in Camp John Hay. It is a garden kitchen, a place to relax, enjoy a good meal like sipping the thick chocolate in Baguio's fresh, cool weather. My Baguio visit won't be complete with out sipping there thick chocolate.
Favorite Dish: They have the best chocolate de batirol in the country this classic thick Spanish chocolate made from tableas' (blocks of cocoa powder), milk and sugar, the patiently and constant use of the wooden whisk in the pot to both melt and thicken it make it really delicious. This small restaurant is not just about merienda anymore but full meals and homemade take-out items, too. Their specialties include Beefsteak, Sisig, Pork Barbecue, and bottles of Chocolate Paste, Taba ng Talangka, Garlic Peanuts. Of course try their Suman sa Latik, Pansit Palabok or Bibingka

Our trip to baguio wouldn't be complete without visiting cafe by the ruins. breakfast is just superb as well as the ambience, it's like Sonya's Garden in Tagaytay meets Baguio's art scene. This Café now stands used to be the pre-war residence of the governor of Benguet. The structure was destroyed by the American forces, in pursuit of the Japanese Army. All that was left behind was a wall which in 1988, the owners of the lot ingeniously built around to be incorporated into the overall theme of the café.
Favorite Dish: There Baguio Bounty Salad Baguio's very owned lettuce and strawberries. With watercress, mangoes, bananas, shrimps and fish. I also love there Mechado a pot-roasted beef with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes and buttered vegetables it is not a Mechado with a red sauce that usually served in Pilipino table.

This is a must-go place in Baguio City, a cave-like entryway into this restaurant, I am sure you will also love the bohemian meets rocker artsy feel of the place, the décor will definitely remind you of Never Never Land with its odd spaces, old Spanish Galleon, indigenous artworks, a fish pond in the middle of the restaurant, the interior itself speaks of its exciting levels lots of pathways, bridges and climbs to your coziest dining space.
Favorite Dish: Don't forget to order there bestseller, Lumpia Salad, it is a glorious mix of fresh lettuce and watercress, served with an Asian dressing and deep fried lumpia (also known as a spring roll). The lumpia is filled with soft tofu, oyster mushrooms and carrots. Yummy.

Phosphate, Potash-Focused Minbos Resources Seeks Equity
Australia-listed Minbos Resources is seeking up to 3 million Australian dollars (US$3.14 million) for working capital while it obtains a strategic funding partner, according to a term sheet seen by Deal Journal Australia.
The raising — led by Patersons Securities — is being conducted in two tranches at 14 cents a share, a 26.3% discount to the miner's last-traded price.
Minbos, which is developing phosphate and potash prospects in the Cabinda Province of Angola and Western Democratic Republic of Congo, entered a trading halt late Tuesday citing a capital raising.
In August, the company appointed Everspring Partners as a corporate advisor to sound out strategic partners interested in the financing, off-take and development of its projects.
"The process is going very well, site inspections have started and we expect to complete early next year," Everspring Partners partner Paul Lock told Deal Journal Australia, adding that Minbos had received significant interest from downstream users in Russia, Germany, India, Japan, China and Australia, all with significant balance sheets.
Mr. Lock said that interest was driven by the opportunity to invest and secure off-take, and that the strategic investor will help secure post-bankable feasibility study funding and project completion.

It'll be fine. You just won't be able to put SPS on the corners
Chaucer's pilgrimage back to the reefing world

It'll be fine. You just won't be able to put SPS on the corners
Posted 13 January 2012 - 05:16 AM
Remember, LEDs are deceivingly dim. Yet they have an output far greater than thought.
It'll be fine. You just won't be able to put SPS on the corners
Yes, this is pretty much my thoughts and plans on this. The LEDs are so bright the camera doesn't do a good job of picking it up. As long as you know the limitations (can't stock high light intensive coral in the corners) it should be fine. This was my plan all along. I like leaving sufficient open spaces in the corners of the tanks for fish swimming and turning anyway. I'm pretty sure there will be more than enough light in the center of the tank where my display will primarily be.
Posted 13 January 2012 - 05:23 AM
Yeah that was what I was getting at. 1 light fixture will not be enough I am thinking.
You have to remember that spread in your pics does not look like enough....................even before you but water in the tank.
I am no expert, and have been looking into LED lighting for my next build which will be 36x18x18.
I would need to go 2 fixtures there to get decent PAR on the sand bed as well as having proper spread so the corners would get light. I love the radio fixtures...............but needing 2 fixtures and the budget I have I am leaning towards AI Sol Blues ($650 with controller) versus 2 Radion's which would be $1500.
When you fill with water and get everything running you will be able to make the call based on your needs.
I really like your tank!
Yes, I agree with you. If I wanted full coverage on my tank I would most definitely need a second fixture. I may even add a second one in the future but for now I'm interested in keeping majority of my corals in the center only. I'm trying to go for a simple look with a nice coral display in the center (main focus of the tank) and leave the dim corners to the fish as swimming and turning areas. I don't really like taking and loading up the entire span of the tank with rock and coral (just a personal preference). I think if you want full coverage throughout the tank (corners and all) 2 fixtures is a must. This setup should work for my vision though.
Posted 13 January 2012 - 05:32 AM
Great job on the clean up of the tank and stand. What kind of coverage do you get with the radion? It looks to me like you will need one more to have adequate coverage.
Thanks! It was a lot of work cleaning it up. I'm still waiting for a side door hinge to come in the mail so I can finish up the stand.
Posted 13 January 2012 - 06:39 AM
My side door hinge will probably arrive today too which means that we should see H2O this weekend.
Pictures to come...
Any thoughts on how long my cycle will be considering I am using Live Rock, Live Sand and bottled Ocean Water? Will I even see a spike? I'm thinking maybe a slight raise in ammonia but I don't know. It's been years since I cycled a tank and I had to wait a good week to get a cycle going since I made my own water and didn't have live sand. Thoughts? I'll be testing regardless just wondering if the method I used this time around may have sped things up a bit.

Looks like it's gonna be an awesome set-up. This is time anxious time of excitement and anticipation when everyone wants to hurry, hurry, hurry and fill the tank! Hurry up and cycle! Cycle already!!!

Thanks for the encouraging words!
You are right, nothing good happens fast in a reef tank.
I keep telling myself that. Tonight I need to try and work on getting some things mounted in the stand.

40 Breeder Tank Build
Posted 13 January 2012 - 06:04 PM
Posted 14 January 2012 - 09:24 PM
Tank at half full:
Side View from the Vortech side:
This is so far spot on as to how I wanted my tank to look. I was able to pick up some really nice premium rock from my LFS. It is supposedly man-made stuff that is created with great shapes and is cured in tanks that are safe of any bad hitchhikers and reef pests. I couldn't really tell the difference between this rock and ocean rock so I went the safe route. It did cost much more than the ocean rock though. I really liked the feel of it and how porous it is. I am usually terrible with aquascaping but I actually like the way I set it up.
One of the workers at the LFS heard how I was setting up my tank and got really excited. lol He said it was a smart idea with the route I took with my light because I'll have low light areas and shaded area for corals that can't take the intense lighting. He says he can't keep any of the low light corals in his tank because his tank is too light intensive. I had this issue in the past on my old reef so I sort of knew how I wanted to go into this tank.
Overall, I am really feeling the look and am really happy with it so far. I thought the water was going to be really nasty and murky as it has been for me in the past but not too much stuff blew around. I tried to fill the water in the tank by splashing across the rocks and not the sand. My sand...yes, my sand is not exactly the conventional reef look. heh. This was how I had set one of my first reef setups many years ago and it was one of my favorite tanks so I decided to go that route again. I loved how the fish and coral popped out from the dark black bottom. A yellow tang looked so vibrant. Anyway, I'm rambling. Hope you like the setup.
I have to go back to the LFS tomorrow because the heater I picked up today is faulty. Bah! I have no luck with these things.
Posted 15 January 2012 - 12:51 PM
I shot an email to the company to see if they want to make good on a bad situation. This is the first Finnex product I have used and will probably be the last if they don't come through and explain why their heaters aren't working properly.
Posted 17 January 2012 - 07:27 AM
Well I picked up a new replacement heater and it seems this one is acting strange as well and doesn't do a good job of heating the water. For some reason I keep seeing the red heater light go off and the temps are not being met. It's a 300W Titanium heater with electronic control. Anyone have any experience with these?
I shot an email to the company to see if they want to make good on a bad situation. This is the first Finnex product I have used and will probably be the last if they don't come through and explain why their heaters aren't working properly.
I took the second heater back to the LFS and explained what I had experienced with the second heater. I had to dial the heater up to 90 degrees just to get the tank temps to 79 degrees. The heater only goes to 92. I told the guys at the LFS I would be too worried that the heater would one day raise the temps to 90 degrees and cook my tank. They swapped it out for a 500Watt heater which seemed to be working better though I am going to continue monitoring it. The guy at the LFS said it was the last time they order an Finnex products because they had a whole box of stuff that has to be returned for being faulty. It's a shame too because the heater does appear to be well built and solid.
On another note, I think I will probably end up adding a MP40 on the left side of the tank. My original plans were to add another mp10 to the left side which would end up being the equivalent of one mp40, but I think I want some serious power on that side of the tank. It will give me more areas to work with consisting of high flow, low flow, high light, low light.

My tank is obviously open on top so I seem to be getting a steady flow of 1gallon evap a day...give or take.
I do not have an RO/DI unit yet but plan on getting one for my evap water int he future. I have been buying Nestle Pure Life containers as my evap water. The label says that the water is purified using Reverse Osmosis or Distillation of which from my understanding either method is good for purification in our reefs.
I started looking into this because I have started to get the brown diatom algae bloom. I know this is sort of normal in a new tank while is cycling. I know it then dies off after leaching all the nutrients in the water. I was just curious and somewhat disturbed that maybe I am introducing extra nutrients into the water by using the Nestle Pure Life. The reason I suspected it was because I saw they add minerals for taste. Then I went on a mission to find what minerals. Some search online seems to suggest the water is safe and some reefers have tested it with a TDS meter and while not the best option it's wasn't really that bad.
I'm wondering if anyone has used this water or if there is a better water to use out there for evap water? I don't want to start my reef tank behind the curve. I want to have a clean fresh start. Any suggestions?
I think I may wait another week or two and introduce a CUC.

or just buy your RO/DI with in-line TDS meter right now and be done with it.
Posted 19 January 2012 - 08:14 AM
if you would like some assurance on the quality of the nestle pure life water try finding a local water company that will check the TDS for you. If that isn't an option then fork over $20-$30 and get one of these .
or just buy your RO/DI with in-line TDS meter right now and be done with it.
Thanks for the link. I may have to pick one of those meters up because now curiosity is killing me. I just read that the distilled method of purification is even better and more aggressive than RO/DI. I don't know how true that is but I am pretty sure I did see water at the store that was distilled and no minerals were added. I may end up giving those a try.

RO/DI unit and a TDS meter.
You bought quality items they need this backbone.
Yea, the RO/DI was already on my hit list. Hopefully, I can pick one up sooner than later. I figured buying water would be easier for now.

I would like to know how the radion is working out for you and the dimensions of your tank please.

Here are some pics of the tank:
I added about 90 more lbs of rock to the tank. I upgraded the skimmer from a 6" eshopp cone skimmer to a Reef Octopus 8" skimmer. I didn't have a pleasant experience with the eshopp skimmer and long story short the skimmer cracked straight down the middle. It was an overpriced piece of plastic that never really worked well and was too much of a pain to get it to the sweet spot.
The reef octopus.... Much better skimmer. Very pleased with it so far.
I now have two mp10s running on the system and they provide adequate flow for my tank.
I just hit the 6-7 month tank age and the 3 coral colonies I have in here for some months now have started to spread now. I just picked up a torch coral yesterday so hopefully it does okay where I put him.
I did pick up an RO/DI unit as well for my water.
Going to give it some more time and then I will be getting some nice color zoanthids and rics with some lps.
Edit: forgot to add that I also added a Next Reef MR1 shorty that hangs from my sump with a phosphate media. I'm thinking of getting a second one to run some carbon through it.

The Project The City of Santa Monica, in cooperation with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans),will reconstruct the California Incline Bridge to meet current seismic standards. The incline extends a distance of approximately 1,400 feet from the intersection of Ocean and California Avenues at the top of the Palisades bluffs to the Pacific Coast Highway (SR-1) at the base of the bluffs. The bridge portion of the incline is 750 feet long and currently consists of an 8" concrete slab supported on transverse floor beams made of concrete. Summary The project entails demolition of the existing bridge and construction of a new bridge at the same location. The new structure will include a wider sidewalk and bicycle lanes. The north and south ends of the incline will remain a three-lane roadway that terminates at a signalized intersection. The new bridge will consist of a pile supported reinforced concrete slab structure with a width of 52-feet, an increase of 5-feet 8-inches over the existing structure. Benefits Replacement of the bridge with a new structure, built to current seismic standards, will correct deficiencies in the bridge and make it safe for vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian use. The California Incline qualifies for replacement under the Highway Bridge Program (HBP) and therefore 88.5% of the cost to rebuild can be paid for with Federal rather than local funds.
To view the Work Zone Cameras showing the work site, click here.
Important DatesConstruction is scheduled to begin April 20, 2015 with an estimated duration of 12-13 months.
California Incline construction started on April 20, 2015 and will be completed by summer 2016. The California Incline will be completely demolished, and a new structure will be built in its place. Should you have any questions, please call (888) 303-6026.

Will find out tomorrow.
BTW it's a KMC X9SL.
Can anyone explain to me why, lol. I don't get it.
those shift assist plates will be helpful.
If you are riding a SS/FG, why in God's sweet name are you riding a chain that is built for quick, easy shifting?
It's amazing you're even alive at all.
So how well did a chain built for a 9 speed work?
the chain will be fine and looks great.
I'm alive. Chain held up just fine.
The replies here are making me laugh. Thanks.
That's a hair from my head.
Kind of funny, the chain this is about isn't for 9 speed, it's a bmx chain and I only had to remove one peice and not a whole link. And the chain I put on the mtb a KMC K710sl failed.
go to kmc's website and find that chain under bmx, i dare you.
good luck homie.
That hair is just wrong.
The KMC X9 SL 9 Speed chains is a strong, lightweight chain that is built to allow for smooth and fast shifting.

Rate-Base Hikes (Again) from Food Network and HGTV in 2014
Tuesday, May 7, 2013
Respective Food Network and HGTV magazine founding publishers Vicki Wellington and Dan Fuchs are happy disciples of Yogi Berra's déjà vu all over again. Wellington, who raised FN's rate base twice this year to 1.5 million in Jan. and the upcoming 1.55 million in July/Aug., announced on May 7 her latest "encore" for 2014 with 1.6 million/1.65 million guarantees next Jan. and July/Aug.
Fuchs, who wasted no time at HGTV's June/July 2012 launch in declaring that the 500,000 opening guarantee would rise to 700,000 in Jan. 2013 and 800,000 in July/Aug., is upping the 2014 ante to 1 million (effective in Jan.). He calls it "a testament to our unique home/lifestyle content mix....HGTV's energy and accessibility have immediately resonated with both readers and advertisers."
Both Hearst magazines are extensions of the popular Scripps cable networks. It is a formula that Hearst first implemented in 2000 with Oprah Winfrey and O, and the three have contributed to Hearst Magazines being the industry's best corporate performer in the 21st century.
FN's rise in both circulation and advertising has been outstanding since Wellington launched it with a 450,000 rate base in June 2009. They are among the reasons why she will be among the 2013 inductees into min's Sales Executive Hall of Fame at our June 3 breakfast in New York's Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Homebuilder Confidence Beats; Remains Negative For 5th Month
After 5 months of missed expectations and tumbling to one-year lows, the NAHB sentiment index jumped 4 points to 49 (still below the 'positive' 50 level). The Northeast - most troubled supposedly by the weather - saw prosepctive buyer traffic drop, but the otheer 3 regions rose with the West spiking. Just as we have seen in the last 2 cycles, NAHB survey data remains far adrift of the reality of sales, but that won't stop the algos extrapolating this jump to new highs and a recovery in housing that is back on...as HANB Chair confirms "is a welcome sign and shows renewed confidence in the industry."
NAHB remains adrift of reality...again
notably Northeast dropped as the other 3 regions rose...
"Consumers are still hesitant, and are waiting for clear signals of full-fledged economic recovery before making a home purchase," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "Builders are reacting accordingly, and are moving cautiously in adding inventory."
Perhaps MDC's CFO summed it up best...
"While we've made improvements, we're still well off of what would be considered maybe average or more of a normal basis," John Stephens, chief financial officer, said during a June 5 conference presentation. "We need to see improvements in consumer confidence and job growth, really, which is really going to drive homebuilding at the end of the day."

Get over yourself. Real estate is a local phenomenon. Where I live they can't build fast enough. There's no such thing as a $200K house here anymore. Always has been this way, always will be...until the baby boomers are all dead.

Beating expectations ALL the way down.
Prolonged low interest rates has encouraged more people to play "Flip this House"
Get used to it. ZIRP and NIRP are the new normal. We missed the boat on being able to have normal interest rates when we passed the 10 Trillion in debt threshold.
To flip things around, their lack of confidence might be a good thing. Like Wall Street telling us now is a good time to buy.
Amazing how companies and industries can beat estimates all the way down to zero. What a joke of a market btw.
""is a welcome sign and shows renewed confidence in the industry."
ha, ha, ha....
Let the homebuilders burn! There is no recovery, only bullshit and lies.
Why haven't home builders started building when home pirces on the California coast are sky high? It is because they know this is all BULLSHIT.
Home builders see a phony market place teatering on a ruinous bubble collapse and don't want to commit to the year long process of building a developement community and then lose their shirts.
But they will build Rental Units. That is right, USA has become a rental country run by oligarchs.
All hail the oligarchs!

The future of Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama appeared to be hanging by a thread Tuesday night after key Democratic Party of Japan officials held an inconclusive meeting amid calls within the party for him to step down ahead of the Upper House election.
DPJ President Hatoyama, Secretary General Ichiro Ozawa — who is also under fire over a money scandal — and Upper House caucus leader Azuma Koshiishi agreed to hold further discussions after their hastily arranged meeting in the evening.
They emerged from the talks tight-lipped about what they discussed.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirofumi Hirano said without elaborating that the three "will continue exchanging opinions."
The DPJ announced shortly after the meeting that Ozawa wouldn't hold a news conference at least until Wednesday. He canceled his regular news conference on Monday.
Earlier in the day, Hatoyama suggested he had no intention of stepping down as prime minister.
"By holding discussions with Secretary General Ozawa and cooperating with him, I will stand up to face this national crisis," Hatoyama said when asked how he would respond to the calls for his resignation.
Hatoyama is coming under increasing pressure to move aside, with public support for his Cabinet falling below 20 percent and the Social Democratic Party leaving the ruling bloc after opposing his policy for the relocation of the Futenma military base within Okinawa Prefecture.
"What matters are people's livelihoods," Hatoyama said. "This new administration was launched to substantially change policies, and I want to continue acting in a way that fits this new administration."
A growing number of DPJ lawmakers, especially Upper House members whose terms will expire in July, believe the party is certain to face an uphill battle in the election expected to be held July 11.
Some political observers say the dissatisfaction among the Upper House caucus could lead to calls for Ozawa to step down along with Hatoyama.
In their meeting, Hatoyama, Ozawa and Koshiishi were believed to have talked over how the party should run the government without cooperation from the SDP, party sources said. They also likely mulled DPJ strategy for the Upper House race.
When they met Monday, Koshiishi explained that circumstances had turned against the DPJ with regard to the election. This was seen within the party as Koshiishi in effect asking Hatoyama to step down as prime minister, the sources said.
"There are views that the Cabinet approval rating would rebound to around 40 percent if the DPJ changes its book cover," a DPJ executive in the Upper House said on condition of anonymity. "The DPJ has a history of winning elections by changing its leader."
Most Cabinet members expressed their support for Hatoyama, including Finance Minister Naoto Kan.
Shizuka Kamei, leader of Kokumin Shinto (People's New Party), the DPJ's remaining coalition partner, phoned Hatoyama twice late Monday to tell him that "nothing will change even if you step down," according to sources close to Kamei.

I can't believe that this whole Dead Asian Internet thing isn't massive news worldwide. There must be millions of dollars going down the drain every day. At my own company, we haven't been able to get to our email since Wednesday. Out of desperation on Friday afternoon, I started making paper airplanes and throwing them out my window on the 29th floor. I'm just barely managing to get to BF through a European proxy server. What are you all hearing about this?
Also, I'm bitter because Chinese holiday regulations say that we have to go to work on the Saturday and Sunday before New Year's . Fortunately my company gave me Christmas and Boxing Day off, but other people have to work straight through from Monday to Sunday.

MOORE, Oklahoma (Reuters) - The mayor of Moore, Oklahoma, a municipality twice devastated by tornados in the past 15 years, is fixated on garage doors, knowing they are a key to protecting the city from even more damage during this year's tornado season.
Moore, in the heart of "Tornado Alley," where twisters frequently hit, will be operating this year under new building codes, arguably some of the most stringent in the nation, to protect people and structures from deadly winds.
In all new construction starting this month, garage doors must be insulated and storm resistant, roofs must have sheathing
to keep them in place, and structures must be better anchored and secured around their edges.
"Garage doors are the first to come off during a tornado. Once the garage door comes off, the roof comes off," Mayor Glenn Lewis said in an interview last week.
Many building met the new codes even before they took effect, because many people know just how high the stakes are when it comes to twister, with an average of 50 hitting Oklahoma each year during its March to August tornado season.
In May 2013, twenty-four people were killed and 240 injured when a top-rated tornado devastated Moore, a city of about 55,000 south of Oklahoma City. Some 2,400 buildings were damaged or destroyed, including Plaza Towers Elementary School, where seven children were killed.
It was even worse in 1999 when one of the strongest tornadoes ever recorded, with wind speeds of 300 mph (480 kph), struck Moore, killing 44 and leaving a path of destruction in its wake.
"The new building codes are great, but I wish they were approved sooner," said Lewis, who was mayor when both tornadoes hit.
While many building codes require structures be able to withstand a 90-mile-per-hour wind for 30 seconds, Moore's new standards, approved by the town council this year, mandate that homes withstand a 135 mph wind - still not foolproof protection but better than was in place before.
Moore, Oklahoma City and other cities began operating this year under building codes offering more protection, but inadequate structures and a dearth of shelters persist in large parts of the state.
One hold-up appears to be in the state legislature, where lawmakers have been bickering over funding tornado protection.
One Democratic lawmaker proposed using funds from the state's franchise tax, a levy suspended in 2011, to pay for tornado and storm shelters for the majority of schools in the state without them. Republican lawmakers, who dominate the legislature, have balked at the proposal, saying they want to eliminate the tax altogether.
The annual franchise tax calls for corporations that do business in the state to be taxed $1.25 for each $1,000 of capital invested or used in Oklahoma, according to the state's tax commission.
Lawmakers are looking at a joint resolution that would allow cities and towns to have local elections to see if they want to issue bonds to build tornado shelters and strengthen buildings.
A pair of Oklahoma legislators say businesses, schools and churches that open their doors to citizens during severe weather should not be held liable if people are hurt or killed. The proposal is in response to a lawsuit filed by relatives of those killed after taking shelter in a convenience store in the 2013 tornado.
"The most important part of this legislation is saving lives. You shouldn't worry about being sued by trying to save lives," said state Representative Larry Glenn, one of the lawmakers proposing the measure.
Back in Moore, the city is still picking up the pieces from last year's tornado.
"What are you going to do?" said Mayor Lewis. "You just rebuild stronger and better."

Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Mark H Durkan - who recently took over from Alex Attwood - has launched a public consultation that could see operators fined for encouraging people to drink.Anyone caught drinking alcohol on a bus could face a fine of up to £1,000.

'Booze buses' though can be dangerous on our roads," said the SDLP minister."This consultation demonstrates my commitment to penalise those who encourage and facilitate drunkenness on buses."Unfortunately the practice of drinking on board buses is still common place in Northern Ireland and problems have been further escalated in recent years due to the increased popularity of 'party' vehicles or 'booze buses' for social use."This activity is illegal and unsafe and action must be taken to address it." © UTV Share Share Share

Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (CBMFS) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by bone marrow failure, congenital anomalies, and an increased risk of malignant disease. The representative diseases with trilineage involvement are Fanconi anemia and dyskeratosis congenita, while the disease with the single lineage cytopenia is Diamond–Blackfan anemia. Recent advances in our understanding of these diseases have come from the identification of genetic lesions responsible for the disease and their pathways. Although recent studies have identified many causative genes, mutations of these genes have only been found in less than half of the patients. Next-generation sequencing technologies may reveal new causative genes in these patients. Also, induced pluripotent stem cells derived from patients with CBMFS will be useful to study the pathophysiology of the diseases. The only long-term curative treatment for bone marrow failure in patients with inherited bone marrow failure syndromes is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, although this procedure has a risk of severe adverse effects. Multicenter prospective studies are warranted to establish appropriate conditioning regimens aimed at reducing transplant-related mortality.

THE DETAILS: About 10 percent of all 6,500 census tracts in this country qualify as food deserts, representing 13.5 million people, with 82 percent of these living in urban areas. Food deserts may contain households with a range of incomes, says ERS economist Michele Ver Ploeg, PhD, but specifically, the food desert designation means either that 20 percent of the census tract's population is living below the federal poverty line or that the median income of the census tract is at or below the area's median income. Or that it's a low-access community, with at least 500 people or 33 percent of the population living more than a mile from a supermarket (10 miles if the district is rural).
If all that sounds hard to figure out, you don't have to do the math. Ver Ploeg helped create the new online tool, the Food Desert Locator (ers.usda.gov/data/fooddesert) interactive map, which you can use to see how your neighborhood measures up. Plug in any address to go to a region. Food deserts will show up in pink. Data came from a 2006 directory of food stores and the 2000 Census, and was presented as a report to Congress in 2009.
WHAT IT MEANS: The Food Desert Locator came out of first lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move anti-obesity initiative. Along with the Food Environment Atlas, the Food Desert Locator will help determine eligibility for grants awarded through a new Healthy Food Financing Initiative to put more grocery stores, farmer's markets, and other sources of healthy food in food deserts. It's a partnership between the Treasury Department, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the USDA.
Even if you don't live in a food desert, you may be having a more difficult time these days putting good food on your family's table. In New Hampshire, for example, a state that traditionally scores low in poverty and high in health, a 2010 Carsey Institute study found that "current levels of food insecurity are the highest since surveys were initiated [in 1995 by the USDA] and may well reflect the consequences of a deteriorating economy and increased unemployment."
Whether you're in a food desert or not, here are some suggestions to make it easier to find healthy food:
• Try SNAP. Perhaps you qualify for the USDA's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), (formerly known as the food stamps program). Since 2009, the SNAP program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) has included vouchers for buying fruits and vegetables, and many on-farm markets and farmer's markets now accept these.
• Cook affordably. Even if you don't qualify for assistance, you can use the SNAP recipe finder to learn how to eat better and more economically in any terrain. The database has many suggestions for dishes made with low-cost, readily available ingredients, and provides USDA-verified nutrition values and cost per serving for each recipe. Example: Red Chile Stew made with pork, red chiles, and herbs costs 37 cents per serving; it's from A River of Recipes: Native American Recipes Using Commodity Foods, prepared by the USDA Food Distribution Program on Indian reservations. All recipes are available in Spanish, too.
• Get free cooking advice. Many of these recipes are provided by state cooperative extensions, which also offer nutrition and cooking classes. To find the office in your county, visit the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture website.
• Eat from your garden. You may want to take control of your food supply and grow your own. It's quite economical. According to Burpee Seed Co., a garden costing $50 in seeds and supplies can yield $1,250 worth of food. And you don't even need to own land to garden. The American Community Gardening Association lists cooperative gardens nationwide where you can rent a plot for a small fee. Check out OrganicGardening.com for advice to get you started and keep you growing.

Some of you may recall I was trying to decide between the preschool that is very welcoming and the one that seemed to enforce hand washing more (oldest has attended both). Well, after my meeting with the assistant director and a few others yesterday, we are picking the welcoming one. I got an early Christmas present yesterday and it may sound silly, but I left wanting to cry out of joy and relief. Twin boy is ana to eggs and also allergic to peanuts. Intrestingly enough, I got a chance to speak with who should be his future teacher and her little boy has the exact same allergies...can't even touch an egg shell without getting hives. I felt like I was sent an angel of sorts. The security of knowing his teacher is a FA mommy was very reassuring.
Anyway, the school provides snacks. I can either bring in my own for twin boy or give them a list of approved snacks. I'll likely just bring his in to be on the safe side unless I read the label of the snack for the day. My question is though, what about twin girl? She can eat anything, but they are always in close proximity. She is not likely to share her food ;-) but twin boy easily will share his with her. She is however protective of him and acts as his "little mommy."
Convienience and money wise lends me to them providing it and me washing her hands and mouth after school. Nevertheless, at home I practice she doesn't (except rare occasions) get anything he is allergic to. He mouths objects and she typically does not. I'm not against my other 2 having products that contain egg, but typically steer clear of it. They are best friends and I'm not sure if twin boy will get if sissy is eating something different, yet should I treat her like she has FA too? How would you handle this?

Uncle Sam's FICO Score
If the US Government were applying for a loan, what would its credit score be? ConvergEx's Nick Colas estimates it at 655 (based on www.myfico.com) - which is higher than we suspected - but consistent with the structural belief in both sovereign and personal debt rating systems that historical payment patterns matter more than ability to pay, leverage, or loan amounts.
Via ConvergEx's Nick Colas:
If the U.S. Government were applying for a loan, what do you think its credit score would be? Let's plug some data into the "Free Credit Score Estimator" on www.myfico.com (the consumer outreach site for Fair Isaac, one of the three major providers of personal credit scores in the United States). There are 10 questions to the survey, which I will summarize here, along with the answers I plugged in:
- How many credit cards do you have? I answered "5 or more" on behalf of Uncle Sam, the largest number offered in the survey. The follow up question is "How long ago did you get your first credit card? I entered "More than 20 years ago," the longest time frame choice offered.
- How long ago did you get your first loan? The answer that seems to best fit is "More than 20 years ago." Pretty much the same as the prior point – the U.S. has been a net borrower for a long time indeed.
- How many loans or credit cards have you applied for in the past year? Trick question, this, I think. I was conservative and answered "6 or more" since government bond auctions are pretty regular affairs.
- How recently have you opened a new loan or credit card? I entered "More than 6 months ago." The last increase to the Federal Debt Limit was in January, to the current $16.4 trillion.
- How many of your loans and credit cards currently have a balance? Bit of a tough one, this. Technically, the U.S. government has one massive credit card – the ultimate Black Card, really. But if you parse this out among the various buyers of U.S. sovereign debt, the more honest answer is "9 or more," which is what I entered.
- How many of your loans and/or credit cards have a balance? "9 or more" as well here.
- Besides any mortgage loans, what are your total balances on all other loans and credit cards combined? The highest amount you can choose is $20,000. I checked the box there.
- When did you last miss a loan or credit card payment? Thankfully, the U.S. can enter "I have never missed a payment."
- How many of your loans and/or credit cards are past due? Again, thankfully, "0" is the answer.
- What percent of your total credit card limits do your credit card balances represent? As of September 28th, the U.S. Government had borrowed $16, 027 billion on its Statutory Debt Limit of $16, 394, or 97.8%. I check the "90-99%" box.
- Please indicate if you have ever gone through any of the following negative financial events in the last 10 years: bankruptcy, tax lien, foreclosure, repossession, or account referred to a collection agency. Toss up call – I check "No."
According to FICO based on these answers, Uncle Sam's score is 630 – 680. And, apparently, America should buy Suze Orman's FICO Kit Platinum for $49.95, an offer for which appears prominently just below our hypothetic result. Can't hurt, I suppose…
Ironically, the average FICO score for a U.S. consumer is 690 – pretty much spot-on with the back of the envelope assessment of the nation's finances. It's not a great score, truth be told, since half of all U.S.-based borrowers have better. But if America were shopping for a new car or looking to get into a larger house, chances are pretty good it could get a mortgage or a car note. If you're wondering how this is possible given all the hand-wringing about the state of the economy and continued increases in borrowings, consider the following:
- Half of a FICO score comes from an assessment of your payment history and the length of your overall credit history. If you've been borrowing a lot but always pay what's due, that's not a problem. But if we plug even one missed payment for 30 days into that FICO score estimator for Uncle Sam, his hypothetical score drops to pretty sad 570 – 620.
- Only 30% of a FICO score is driven by the amount of money you owe. In sovereign debt circles – rather than consumer finance – the most common measure is Debt-to-GDP. The U.S. is essentially at 100% if you include the debt issued to Social Security (and I don't know why you wouldn't) and well over that number if you add off-balance sheet liabilities. Still, as bad as those numbers get, it's not a big deal to a FICO score. Or, apparently, to S&P, Moody's or Fitch. But going through the FICO questionnaire and the underlying math, I see a little better the logic behind this.
- The "Types of Credit Used" by a consumer are an even smaller contributor to a FICO score. So the U.S. Treasury's proclivity for borrowing over short time periods (5 years or less) even though the country has scant chance of paying the debt back over this time horizon isn't much of a problem.
Of course, in a typical loan application process, Uncle Sam would also have to enter his current income and –most likely – some history of this statistic. The Daily Treasury Statement is essentially the record of the money government takes in (taxes, mostly) and spends (Social Security, Medicare/aid and defense, mostly). You can check out this report here: https://fms.treas.gov/dts/index.html. The simple math is the following:
- Tax/Withholding Receipts Fiscal Year-To-Date have been $2,179 billion.
- Incremental debt Issued: $1,280 billion.
- Total spent: $3,459 billion. Just over a third of this spending is funded with debt (noted in the prior point), and the balance comes from tax and withholding.
- So how does someone who earns $63,000/year after taxes and borrows $37,000 to plug the whole in his budget still merit an "Average" credit score? Because, apparently, he has always paid what he owes, promptly and in full.
The Treasury tax and withholding data is also a useful proxy for employment growth, a timely topic given the upcoming Employment Situation Report on Friday. The market is looking for 110-120,000 jobs added in the month, but our data shows that this is probably a stretch. A few points to close out this note:
- Total tax and withholding receipts for the month of September 2012 were up just 3.6% versus prior year. If you only look at those payments automatically withheld by employers, that comp moves down to 3.3%. Over time, tax receipts and job growth should track very closely. Average income has been flat for +10 years, after all.
- September's comp is very close to every monthly result for this data back to April, consistent with a sluggish economy and little net employment growth.
- The average monthly growth in non-farm payrolls for the last 6 months is 97,000 workers, and that is a fair estimate of what we should expect for September as well. That's consistent with the tax/withholding data. It's just not consistent with expectations, which as I noted above sit uncomfortably higher at 110 – 120,000.

The fattest, dumbest, laziest and most unemployed person in America with a FICO score of 0 can still get a college loan so this juxtaposition is worthless.
In the name of the leverage, the debt, and the holy fiat.
FICO= Future Income COrzined!
Aaaannnd it's gone!
and a Obama phone bitchez!
When the end goal is default on as much debt as possible...I'm not sure they really care.
By the way, I wouldn't care about my score either if I could print $100 bill in my basement.
200 Trillion in unfunded liabilities and a FICO of 650? I definately need to get more credit cards. They better borrow on "stated income" because their DTI ratio is -55%.
"......but consistent with the structural belief in both sovereign and personal debt rating systems that historical payment patterns matter more than ability to pay, leverage, or loan amounts."
Of course. Because I always look behind me while driving forward and vice versa.
When common sense and reason leave all that remains is pixie dust and belief. Which explains perfectly herd behavior and the hive mentality.
yep. thats the last time i take a shot every time say "obamacare"
Worthless comparison. Take away the government's ability to print, and then tell me the FICO score.
In reality, there is nothing about "credit"...that is actual "credit". The fact that repaying indebtedness is called "credit" is a big problem. Good word usage to keep the proletarian in line though...
I have friends that wring their hands about their "credit" score.
When I tell them that a "credit" score is really a "debt" score which is a measure of how much they can be taken advantage of I get the deer in the headlights look and "but...but...but...".
They have been programmed to believe that a good "credit" score means they are a good person.
Go figure.
+1 Exactly
That's the best GI Joe cartoon I ever seen!
Sounds good enough to buy a new GM or Chrysler, get a home equity loan, buy some AAPL stock, and go on a bender to Vegas.
You can't blow bubbles without soap; government has plenty of soap.
FICO is a debt score. It measures how likely you are to take out loads of debt and pay bankers interest on the loan. FICO does not care if you own any real assets or if you pay your insurance or utilities on time for deacdes.
After all, doesn't paying cash make one a terrorist???
630 to 680 with printing press, 69 without! what a joke
- dont worry after US declares bancruptcy it will recieve a credit card application 6 months later
A bank I reviewed back in 2006 would give the prime rate on an unsecured $75 thousand consumer loan to anyone walking through the door with a 620 FICO. When asked why they used 620 (the "average" reported FICO by Fair Isaac was around 720 at the time), they indicated that they were using the Fannie Freddie guidelines! Just plain stupid...
If the US gummit's FICO score falls below mine, will I be able to qualify for a mortgage?
Honestly, Uncle Sam's score is higher than I expected it will be, so everything is not so bad. There are lots of articles which say that the US is deeply in debt, and I think that it's true because consumers and government try to fix all the financial problems with a help of making a debt, government isn't focused of saving and cutting expenses, that's why the debt is growing. Almost third part of Americans do not have any emergency savings and use no fax payday loans online when emergencies arise, so make a new debt instead of managing a budget and saving money for a rainy day.

ATLANTA (AP) - Actor Patrick Dempsey's racing team has been selected to compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
''We are honored to have been invited back to Le Mans, it is an amazing, larger than life event and the wonderful fans in France and the incredible support from the ACO always make this race a pleasure,'' Dempsey said in a statement. ''It is an honor, but also a somewhat humbling and certainly daunting task to now have to actually put all of the pieces in place to be able to race at Le Mans just four months from now. But we are up to the challenge.''
The ''Grey's Anatomy'' star is running the United SportsCar Championship season with full-time co-driver Andrew Davis, with fellow team principal Joe Foster joining them for endurance events. Patrick Long joined Dempsey last year at Le Mans, while fellow Porsche factory drover Marc Lieb team with Dempsey, Davis and Foster last month in the Rolex 24 At Daytona.

text: December's cool holidays may seem like a distant memory with the recent days of warmer weather, which has some residents worrying that high temperatures will confuse their outdoor plants and make the plants vulnerable to future drops in the mercury. Greenville nursery owner Doug Roberson says not to worry, most plants have built in "safeguards" and a short rise in temperatures won't fool the foliage. Many plants wait until longer days and rising ground temperatures announce the arrival of spring. Roberson says if a cold snap does kill any of your outside plants--don't despair--most will make a successful return in the spring.

The committee delved into the relevant literature, heard from 80 diverse speakers, and read more than 700 comments from members of the public to broaden its understanding of issues surrounding […]
Unhealthy Fixation. The war against genetically modified organisms is full of fearmongering, errors, and fraud.

The genome of cultivated sweet potato contains Agrobacterium T-DNAs with expressed genes: An example of a naturally transgenic food crop
Among 291 tested accessions of cultivated sweet potato, all contain one or more transfer DNA (T-DNA) sequences. These sequences, which are shown to be expressed in a cultivated sweet potato clone ("Huachano") that was analyzed in detail, suggest that an Agrobacterium infection occurred in evolutionary times. One of the T-DNAs is apparently present in all cultivated sweet […]
