Skip to comments.Holy Crap! Gold Tops $1770 Overseas.
Posted on 08/08/2011 9:54:03 PM PDT by Atlas Sneezed
They seek a safe haven.
From many perspectives, GOLD is it.
Problem is, gold is so danged high if one is not significantly in (it) by this time, it may well be a bit too late. (not necessarily the wisest idea to rush where everyone is rushing at the same time).....
Quite a run up in 2 weeks.
It seems like only yesterday it passed $1700.
Trumps gold all day long in a SHTF world.
A lot of people are going to be very disappointed when they discover more gold is being sold than exists.
My Wal-Mart's shelves are finally getting stocked somewhat, altho at much higher prices than before Buckwheat. My Big Max A4 has a lot more usefullness left in it.
A lot of people are going to be very disappointed when they discover more gold is being sold than exists.
Surprise, surprise.
...don't think Soros didn't load up on it a year ago
I have this lingering feeling that the next great scam to be unveiled to the world is that all the precious-metal mutual funds and ETFs are managed by these two guys:
Holy Crap indeed- There are 357.142 grains in a Troy Ounce. That means a grain of gold is selling for $4.956 per GRAIN. A standard aspirin weighs 5 grains.
Sorry, those numbers are wrong. I think that it's a lot worse than that.
"...gold is so danged high.."
With silver "flat" and back under $40.00 I will be buying Ag with both hands this week. IMO, silver is heading to $70+ within 3 months and will produce a much better profit than gold at this point.
Just my take on things.
yes, but not those that hold the gold in their hands
Jesse Livermore "Square of the Numbers". Gold 1764 and exponential above.
Does that mean gold bars are not made of gold?
Whatever. That's what all perennial gloomsters were saying about the dot.com stocks in the 1990s. And how did that advice turn out?
Let me guess. You're bearish on Dutch tulips too?
"With silver flat and back under $40.00 I will be buying Ag with both hands this week. ..."
Me too.
Are you talking physical Ag, or are you confident that the "paper" MFs and ETFs are not, shall we say, oversubscribed?
It means that there is more than one ownership claim on each gold bar and thus, logically, gold has been sold that doesn't exist if the owners of the gold ask for it.
Of course not. But how many do not hold gold in their hands? How many who have jumped into the recent 'buy gold' frenzy do not possess gold physically but hold nothing more than a piece of paper citing ownership?
The gold market is a ponzi scheme.
LOL. I just knew....
Paper is what got us into this mess.
"...gold has been sold that doesn't exist if the owners of the gold ask for it."
So, if there are more call contracts, and everyone of them wanted delivery, than the physical supply somebody is SOL, right? Which would make someone that has already taken delivery of gold very wealthy, more than $1770.00 per ounce. Hate to be the gold mine that has sold its future deposit 10 times over.
480 grains per troy ounce.
24 grains per pennyweight.
20 pennyweight per troy ounce.
12 troy ounces per troy pound (which is a "pound" of sterling in the British sense).
That's what all perennial gloomsters were saying about the dot.com stocks in the 1990s. And how did that advice turn out?
I bought gold in the 1980s; I invested $10k and I paid about $325/oz. While I could cash in now and enjoy a rough profit of $44,000, Im waiting until it peaks. When will that be and could it go even higher if those holding certificates demand their gold? Decisions, decisions
The last time I bought silver it was $3.76 an oz. as I remember. So, where would some of you who purchased recently send me to buy some more. Seriously, I want to buy from the most reliable , least expensive source. I'm not being coy, just looking for someone that has delt in it recently with a source they would recommend.
That should make it MORE valuable.
Yes, I know- I made a calculator error. The only reason that I tend to use grains is that they are the same whether you're using troy or avdp., and my scales are in grains.
More valuable for those who actually have possession of gold and worthless for all those who hold certificates should they try to cash out at the same time.
I'm with you.

"A destination of many parts" Top 5 Page for this destination Noosa Heads by iandsmith
Noosa Heads Travel Guide: 143 reviews and 353 photos
It's scary and sad. It was 40 years ago when I first visited Noosa. One of my most vivid memories was surfing at Ti Tree Bay lit by a golden sunset in 5 foot waves totally glassed-off with just a friend of mine for company apart from nature.
These were indeed, the good times.
We camped in a caravan at the end of the main street. It rained every night yet every day was sunny with light offshore winds. It was towards the end of autumn.
One day I drove my old Holden ute onto the beach and past the coloured sands of Teewah accompanied at one stage by an inquisitive osprey. We were on our way to Double Island Point along a 30 kilometre beach drive to one of the world's great surf breaks on the rare occasions when it works. It was just an average wave the day we were there but we had a surf anyway.
A few days later the old ute finally carked it and I sold it for scrap on the Gold Coast on the way home before we hitchhiked to Byron for a few days and then loaded our boards on a train and hitched all the way to Newcastle.
These days there is no caravan park at the end of the main street; when the surf is working it will be crowded and the only place you'll find a ute like the one I had will be in a museum. All I have is the memory.
Today the place has become crassly commercialized, the drive for the tourist dollar blotting out any resemblance of times past. The quiet river is now rent by the noise of hire jetskis and crisscrossed by a myriad of tourist craft; the main street is wall-to-wall shops; motels, apartments and shops vie for space as you travel inland.
Banner holding protesters of the past only served to slow the development, not halt it. There is a feeling of resentment from some locals of what their town has become.
Still, there are still some magic moments to be had, as you will glean from my pages.
- Pros:Good beaches, lots of sunshine, good hinterland
- Cons:Very touristy, it has been discovered
- In a nutshell:Great spot for watersports and general tourism

I have the same problem...where to write about places on The Sunshine Coast...We need a Sunshine Coast Destination...but VT have not moved in this direction to revamp...and prob the staff I contacted have log gone...
Al2401 has started A Blackall Range page where she has gathered together her existing tips. If we are to be helpful the info needs to be easy to find...
Oh the BIG PINEAPPLE is still closed but there is hope it will reopen...There are Saturday Markets there.....
It was featured on tele-Globe Trekker show and looks like a great place to see one day. You surely got the best of beach and scenery pictures and comments are very good.
Some of my favourite places- most of these spots have grown more-no stopping the tidal wave of growth in QLD! Did you try a parfait at the Big Pineapple? My cars have been trained to auto pilot themselves there-one of the many secrets of my svelte self!
Wonderful page Ian! And your intro photo of the sunset is stunning! It's sad to read how tourism has 'discovered' this place. But reading your page this stil seems like a great place to visit. And "the blooming footpath" took my breath away: beautiful!!
"Overweight old men flashing their torso"??? Yes, Warnings and dangers for sure! I don't remember seeing the volcanoes when I was in those parts! Nice tips and pictures as usual Ian - now PLEASE don't mention the Rugby...
spent some time in Calundra, Maleny, even went in the clock shop :-)) nice memories thanks for sharing your pics and tips
I did not spend enough time here to enjoy myself. I liked the beach however. Great page.
Thanks for the reminder! Beautiful pics...too bad that I missed it on my last trip to OZ... But maybe next year...
What an interesting landscape & great pics ! ...unfortunately Australia is still missing on my map :-(((
The Honeymoon Suite! You must have impressed someone. Great, fun, interesting, informative, and well written pages. Enjoyable read with a touch of your usual wit. Delightful.

Hegira 3rd century / AD 9th centuryPeriod / Dynasty
AbbasidArtist(s) / Craftsperson(s):
Abu Nasr of Basra.Provenance:
A small, square relief-moulded ceramic dish with nine sections: five circular and four egg-shaped in the corners. The flat surface around these indentations is covered with relief decoration. This was probably used as a condiment tray with a different delicacy held in each compartment. Unusually for this type of ceramic the craftsman has signed his work; Abu Nasr states that he is from Basra but that this dish was made in Egypt. It is possible that Abu Nasr moved from Basra after a period of political unrest there, to settle in Egypt under the relative stability of the Tulunid dynasty. He offers, therefore, an interesting example of the tendency of craftsmen to leave areas of political upheaval and migrate to more politically peaceful locations where patronage would be more abundant.

Bequeathed by Augustus Wollaston Franks in 1889.How date and origin were established:
Other lead-glazed ceramics with relief decoration have been found at sites in Abbasid Egypt and Iraq, dating to the 3rd / 9th century.How provenance was established:
The craftsman has inscribed the dish with the words: 'the work of Abu Nasr of Basra in Egypt'. Therefore although he originated in Basra, he made this dish in Egypt.Selected bibliography:

Weekend debauchery
Monday, April 13, 2009
Okay so I have not recorded what I ate all week long basically. I was still trying to be good on Tuesday & Wednesday, but I never got around to recording it, and now I have forgotten what I should have entered. Thursday was my Friday, and we went out to dinner to celebrate, and I did not record that thinking I will get to to tomorrow.... Friday was my day off, too many t hings to do to and get done to work on excercise I have time on Saturday... Saturday we bought a smoker so that we could make all we can eat smoke salmon at home very very low calorie. Seemed like a good idea at the time... no time to record what I ate.. that left Easter Sunday with its big HUGE prime rib dinner and extra fattening deserts. Needless to say I am not looking forward to my wiegh in!
Moving backwards on my goal had to take down my "lost 10lbs" pic cause its no longer true.

Okay, I have been hitting it pretty hard this week. Some how having to take down my lost 10 lbs photo really bugged me! Then I got on the scale yesterday and I was at 190!! thats the lowest I have been since I got engaged in 11/2001. I'm still about 4lbs heavier than the trend line to reach my interim goal by the deadline. But Im encouraged anway, I look at it as 8 years of over eating erased.

Of course you are absolutely right. However this does not affect my determination I have been feeling my determination ebbing away for some weeks.
Baby steps are what is called for. Persistence and tenacity are what is called for. While I know this, acting on it is what is called for. Talk is cheap. My thought to action ratio has always been heavily in favor of thought over action.
So today's baby step was to get back on the treadmill and use it for the full 30 minutes, even if that meant setting it on a resistance level that guaranteed I wouldn't burn enough calories.
Tomorrow's baby step is to do it again.

Smit, sorry to have to say this, but you are so busted. I don't usually say that to any one in this community; however, I would like you to go back and reread your blogs. They are pretty much all saying the same thing.
What it really boils down to is making excuses for the bad choices. I really, really, really, want you to succeed, but I can't do it for you. I've been where you are now, many times. It's all about the choices YOU make whether good or bad and the consequences you must live with, good or bad.
I feel like you are at a major crossroads in this journey you're on. What are you going to do? Please don't get caught up in the all or nothing frame of mind. Pick something, anything, no matter how insignificant you may think it is, and change it into a good, healthy habit. Then pick another. It may be a food issue or a fitness issue. It doesn't matter. It's your choice.
From reading your past blogs, I know you have the head knowledge. Now, if you would just believe in your self, like I do, you can beat this thing and get healthy and past those same 10 pounds you've been working on.
Gook luck, and I'll be looking forward to your next blog.

We have two dell powerconnect 5324 (about 5-6 years old).
For the last few weeks, we have been seeing connectivity warnings for 2-3 minutes ata time for unkonwn reason (colo says everything is fine, our IT manager says there is nothing wrong with the severs..
Where should we be looking to rule out the switch as the source of the problem? We are in the process of setting up Nagios/Cacti in the next week to collect more info.
Also, IT is asking for a new layer 3 switch, is this really neccesary with 6 server, san, tape drive?

If your family has had the norovirus, how did you get through it? What helped? What did you stay away from? Right now I am more worried about the kiddos getting enough fluids.
Norovirus/stomach flu
Mom to Beautiful Twin Girls
and a Cute Little Boy
With anything in which you are vomitting and diahrrea, you should consume fluids as much as possible in little amounts. Even if they can only tolerate an ounce of liquid at a time, just make sure everyone keeps drinking. Get pedialyte popsicles if you have to. I was really sick with a stomach virus the week of New Years. I couldn't keep anything in, I just kept trying to drink, very small amounts at a time and didn't eat. Once I stopped vomitting, I stuck to dry foods and was trying to eat yogurt so I could replace the good bacteria in my stomach(I had diahrrea for 5 days).
Good luck, it sucks but you will get through it!

This is such a personal decision. I mean, do you like surprise erections in your back? Then go with a queen. Sweetpea
This is such a personal decision. I mean, do you like surprise erections in your back? Then go with a queen. Sweetpea
We had a really nasty stomach bug. It lasted two weeks per person for some of us. It was pretty random though how it hit.
Thursday: MDD pukes twice at night
Friday: feels fine
Saturday night: pukes in the middle of the night
Sunday: ODD pukes and pukes and pukes for hours
Monday: ODD looks like hell and has no appetite
Tuesday: ODD feel good enough to eat BRAT diet
Wed: YDS pukes once in the middle of the night
Thurs/Fri: nothing
Saturday: YDS pukes once in the middle of the night again
Sunday: nothing
Monday: YDS pukes once in the middle of the night AGAIN
Tuesday: YDD pukes 3 times
Wed: YDD is fine
Thurs: YDD pukes again 3 times
Friday: YDD has diarrhea (for the next 2 weeks!)
Saturday: I start puking for 4 hours straight
Saturday night: My sister pukes for several hours while having diarrhea
Sunday: DH has diarrhea and pukes 3 times
You see how weird it was. My sister, DH, and YDD had diarrhea for 2 weeks each. It was really bad. After a week of feeling okay, I started having stomach cramps and diarrhea after I ate. It was totally bizarre.
The only things that helped were chicken broth, gatorade (for the adults), water (for the kids), and time.

If you have still healthy family members, try to keep them separated. If you have more than 1 bathroom, designate a sick bathroom. Keep chlorox wipes next to the toilet and wipe it down after each use.
I don't sign the damn envelope with my vagina- Rabidus Matris
Bad Ass Mother Runner (BAMR) with Running Mamas
WOHM, Running Mom to Alex (7/09)
The baby I just nursed on demand. It was so, so sad. :-(
For myself, I tried different fluids and coke seemed to work best. Then later, ginger ale and Gatorade. Really, though, Dramamine was my life saver. And then crackers and toast.
I have found that it is better to keep taking in fluids, even if they are coming back up. It is easier on your body than the dry heaves.
Ice chips.
I swear by ice chips. Quick mouth rinse while hurling time, then wait an hour and try ice chips.
It was ice chips, then moved onto water, then gatoraide and ginger ale.
The 7 year old went from puking to eating a sleeve of saltines and then pretzals.
I waited about 15 hours than started saltines, then white toast.
Anti-bacterial all the surfaces, light fixtures, you name it. I also washed sheets, but just because they felt yucky after being sick. And open the windows and get some fresh air blowing through.
I wish you the best- it sucks. We lucked out and my husband and daughter had it one day, then I waited to get it 2 days later, so they helped me. The baby didn't seem bothered at all.
"Yay, congrats to Shorty's kid for fulfilling her lifelong dream of being a dancing hedgehog." WEM
We haven't had it this year....yet KOW. We get it every freaking year, though. I am with PP, the best tip, and I found this out last year after suffering for years, to always make sure there is some liquid in your stomach even if you chuck it right back up. It is much better to throw up the water you just sipped instead of dry heaving or throwing up bile. So, yeah...definitely try to keep a small amount of fluid in your stomach at all times.
~ Amanda, mommy to Aftan (July 6, 2006) and Reagan (December 31, 2008)
Did everyone get it? If not, massive hand washing campaign and LYSOL (the aerosol kind) everything. Or dip it in a bleach/water solution.
If everyone already has it, then the above advice is spot on. Stay hydrated. REST. Worst thing to do is get dehydrated. My nephew ended up at the ER because of dehydration. (He's 1)
Also, you are contagious from the moment you show symptoms until 3-4 days AFTER you feel better. So even if you feel better, wait 3-4 days before really getting out there or handling food.
It's very easily spread, partly because people think they are all better and start handling food or just going out in public and they don't realize they are still sick and then get everyone else sick.
I just got back from a vacation where everyone EXCEPT my DH, LO and me got sick. We washed our hands constantly (hand sanitizer is better than nothing but actual soap and water is best) and I sanitized everything I could think of with Lysol. Sprayed the toilet handle, the sink handles, door handles, fabric couches....everything! It would be a good idea to santize even if everyone already has it - just to prevent anyone getting sick again.
Good luck!
This post needs a poll!
My 3 girls and I all had this last week. It was awful. Staying hydrated is very important. I had my girls sip on warm water (which is easier on the stomach and you absorb it quicker) and lemon juice.
It's like your mouth is falling down the stairs...

Is PCI Cost Effective?
powers-old-account 270000NC1K Visits (2092)
The Security Dark Reading blog posted an article called "PCI Compliance May Mean Fewer Breaches, Study Says" which summarizes some of the key findings of the Ponemon Institute study on the effectiveness of the PCI DSS standard. The headline statistic from the study was that 64% of companies that had been compliant with PCI-DSS for the past year reported no security breaches while only 38% of companies that are not PCI-DSS compliant made that claim. Assuming he study was well structured and the analysis controlled for other factors, that's a significant difference.

Beyond any doubt, standing out amongst so many designer releases, this one succeeding to be rather unique where so many other scents may fail and/or remain too generic.
Thread: Now hear this!
It is wonderful stuff. I think one of the keys is not to use too much. The sillage is intense on DHI. One spray is perfect for me. I can smell myself all day and it's not overpowering with one spray. More than that makes me feel like I've overdone it.
Beyond any doubt, standing out amongst so many designer releases, this one succeeding to be rather unique where so many other scents may fail and/or remain too generic.
Actually boys, ADG is the king of designers. Just ask the sales associates at any fragrance outlet who has sold the most. DHI bows it's pretty little head in shame at the one true king.

DHI is a good scent, I'll give you that, but it is still NO Chanel Égoïste or Dior Fahrenheit for that matter...
"Don't fight it son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating."
dh is good but only to most of the fragrance enthusiast, if you where ask a guy on the street if they liked it they would probably say its too sweet and not a pastry sweet but like a wet smooch sweet. its great but it takes the right person to appreciate it. i am guessing this would sell better to women but its good to know this is marketed to men and not to many wear it.
Any opinions I post here about frags only reflect MY PERSONAL TASTE and only my personal preference which could change at any moment.
Chanel Antaeus is No 4 on the list
Dior Homme Intense is No. 5 on same list
Should not Antaeus then be your favorite designer scent ?

"Nostalgia just ain't what it used to be"--Anonymous
I've not yet smelled DHI and from reading the many comments about it I am curious.
The best designer fragrance I've ever tried is Third Man by Caron. And if you don't count Caron as a designer house, Gucci Nobile, though not currently on my signature list, is my favorite.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Imo the original vintage Dior Homme is better than DHI. But the reigning king of designer is indeed AdG.
DH is pretty close to the top on that spreadsheet from the most complimented thread...

Arms Control: Issues for the Public
Arms Control: Issues for the Public
Never perhaps in relations between nations has any policy been so universally espoused as has the policy of disarmament in recent years. Never has any policy been the subject of so much discussion and negotiation between nations. No extended negotiations have seen so little progress. No negotiations have persisted in the face of so little progress.
Disarmament, or the control of armaments, has been proclaimed "the crucial issue of these times." Faced with the possibility of annihilation, by terrible new weapons against which there appeared to be no defense, nations hoped to eliminate or control these awesome arms. Since the end of the Second World War, every nation has supported disarmament, for itself as well as for others. Disarmament and the . . .

Circulation Ebbs at Nation's Newspapers
Fitzgerald, Mark, Editor & Publisher
Hot news leaves total circulation cold, despite some big gainers
Not even the combined efforts of Kenneth Staff, Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire could keep overall newspaper circulation from falling back after a promising uptick in the spring.
Despite baseball's home run chase, the much-ballyhooed publication of the Starr report on the White House sex scandal and other high-interest news, circulation flattened out over the six months ended Sept. 30, the latest Fas-Fax report from the Audit Bureau of Circulations shows.
Overall, daily circulation was down 0.3% for the 816 general-interest newspapers reporting in this Fas-Fax, according to an analysis by the Newspaper Association of America. The news is particularly disappointing because it follows a reporting period when an overall increase of not quite 1% was hailed as a sign that newspaper sales might be turning around.
"I don't think the recent results signify a sea-change," NAA president and CEO John F. Sturm said. "But we were hoping after last spring that we'd be seeing more of a trend upward."
Circulation on Sundays -- the one day when the growing numbers of casual readers once could be counted on to buy a paper -- showed yet another decline in what has become a decade-long slump. NAA's analysis showed Sunday circulation overall was off 0.8%.
At the same time, the report was good news for bigger papers. And the bigger the paper, the more likely it was to gain: In the 100,000-250,000 circulation range, NAA found, 51% reported gains; between 250,000 and 500,000, 62% of papers increased circulation, and among papers over 500,000, fully 67% recorded a sales increase.
Among the top 25 daily papers, 16 reported circulation increases -- the first time in this decade that these big-city circulations have increased for two consecutive reporting periods.
The biggest single winner was No. 25: the Denver Rocky Mountain News added an average 29,024 copies - a 9.6% gain -- for daily circulation of 331,978. The surge put it within 10,000 copies of the rival Denver Post, which added 4,138 copies, or 1.2%, for daily circulation of 341,544. Both Denver papers posted Sunday increases. The Rocky gained 17,453, or 4.2%, to 432,931, while the Post gained 13,477, or 2.9%, to 484,657.
News publisher Larry Strutton characterized the improvement as a dramatic payoff for its radical "Front Range" strategy. In 1996, the E.W. Scripps Co-owned tabloid essentially abandoned its statewide circulation to build its numbers - and attractiveness to advertisers in the Denver metro area and the growth corridors along Interstates 25 and 70. "It's gratifying to see that the strategy of focusing on the Front Range is paying off and that, as promised, we're not only gaining circulation, but we're doing it in the area that most benefits advertisers," Strutton said.
Also making good on a promise to increase circulation was the Los Angeles Times, which increased daily sales an average 17,363 copies, or 1.7%, to 1,067,540.
USA Today reported its circulation Mondays through Thursdays was up an average 23,763 copies, to 1,653,428. If the Friday edition, which stays in news boxes for three days, were considered a Sunday paper, it would dwarf the current leader, the New York Times. The Friday USA Today sells 2,083,213 copies up 33,503, or 1.6%, over the year compared to 1,627,099 copies of the Sunday Times, which declined 31,619, or 1.9% in the same period.
USA Today also remains the champ of bulk sales, which were reported in Fas-Fax for the first time. During the week, it reported an average 467,871 copies in so-called third-party sales. Over the weekend, the number is 505,233. The New York Times reported an average 15,213 bulk copies during the week.
Among the biggest percentage gainers was the Minneapolis based Star Tribune, which was up 3.3% by adding 12,950 copies for a total of 400,362. …

Oklahoma football: A look at the history of Owen Field
Owen Field has been the home of the Sooners for nearly a century. The facility started out as a bare field, gradually growing to its present capacity of more than 80,000. Here's a look at the stadium's renovation history:
1923: The Sooners move from Boyd Field, just west of where McCasland Field House is currently located, to the spot of the current stadium. Bleachers are added to the east side of the field, making capacity approximately 500. The field hosts its first game Oct. 20, 1923.
1925: The first permanent seating — made of red tile, brick and reinforced concrete — is added on the west side, increasing capacity to 16,000. The stadium costs an estimated $293,000. The stadium is named after Bennie Owen.
1929: Permanent seating is added on the east side of the stadium, doubling capacity.
1948: The field is lowered six feet, the track is moved to the current site of John Jacobs Field and the north end is enclosed, boosting capacity to 55,647. A press box was also added.
1957: South end zone bleachers are added, raising capacity by more than 6,000.
1970: Artificial turf replaces natural grass.
1975: An upper deck is added to the west side, bringing capacity to 71,187. The press box is also replaced. The renovations cost approximately $5.7 million.
1980: The south end zone facility that houses the locker rooms, coaches offices, weight rooms, meeting rooms and other facilities is built and capacity with the added end zone seating goes up to 75,004.
June 1994: Stadium master plan approved by OU Board of Regents.
1994: Natural grass replaces the artificial turf, which had been replaced before the 1981 season.
April 1995: Construction of west-side suites begins.
1998: Capacity is decreased to 72,765 as disability seating is added.
April 1999: The Barry Switzer Center, housing new locker rooms, coaches offices, strength and conditioning facilities and a sports medicine facility, opens.
2002: A plan is implemented to renovate the stadium in phases, including replacing all stadium seating, expanding and renovating north end athletics offices and adding east side suites and an upper deck. The cost of the first phase is $75 million. The second phase ($9 million) includes another level of suites, expansion and renovation of the Santee Lounge and club seats, amenities on the wast concourse and expansion of team meeting rooms in the Switzer Center. Phase III ($12 million) included amenities on the west side, expansion and improvement to the coaches' office and Legends Lobby of the Switzer Center.
2003: The east upper deck is complete and capacity goes up to 81,207.
2004: The east-side suites are completed, bringing capacity to its current 82,112.
2009: The final phase ($15 million) of the 2002 plan is finished. It includes upgrades to the locker room, meeting and training facilities and expansion of technology-driven enhancements including SoonerVision studio and production facilities within the stadium.

My handicap: 12 been playing golf for 47 yrs.
Pros- This is the best maintained public golf course in NH. Bar none ! If played from the back tees, it is in the top three most challenging public courses in NH. A good course for beginners if played from the front tees. It has the fastest greens of any public course in NH or Maine. You MUST keep your approach shots below the hole or it is three putt city. Best practice range in NH. Very cute cart girls and food & beverage staff.
Cons- cart beers are very expensive. Food used to be very good but currently is very expensive considering the portions.(small)
Golf pricing varies greatly but, there are often good deals on weekday afternoon golf . Pace of play also varies greatly. I have played 3hr rounds and 5hr rounds during week & weekends.

Can Organizational DNA Exclude Ethics?
Verschoor, Curtis C., Strategic Finance
THE METAPHOR OF ORGANIZATIONAL DNA attempts to apply the all-inclusive biological characteristic known as DNA to the culture of organizations. While several examples involving organizational DNA have been published, one of the first uses of DNA in connection with the culture of an organization may have been in a speech by SEC Chair William Donaldson shortly after his appointment and confirmation.
Addressing the National Association for Business Economics in Washington, D.C., in March 2003, Donaldson concluded his remarks on the subject of good corporate governance by strongly emphasizing the importance of ethics to appropriate corporate culture: "I hope that you will agree that the most important first step for a board grappling with the issues of corporate governance is not debating the issues of structure. Rather, it is defining the parameters of an inviolate corporate culture by answering simple questions: What kind of moral compass do we want guiding this corporation? What ethical standard do we want embedded in this corporation's DNA? How will we demonstrate it in our every action? How can we protect the long-term interests of our investors?" [emphasis added]
More recently, the prominent management consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton also used the DNA metaphor. In its continuing research into how American corporations are managed, it used a unique approach to define organizational DNA. In contrast to the ethical framework chosen by Donaldson, Booz Allen virtually ignores the importance of ethics as a determinant of the overall culture of an organization.
In "The Four Bases of Organizational DNA," an article in the Winter 2003 issue of the firm's Strategy+Business magazine, three Booz Allen consultants--Gary Neilson, Bruce Pasternack, and Decio Mendes--explain how "a company's DNA holistically means weaving intelligence, decision-making capabilities, and a collective focus on common goals widely and deeply into the fabric of the organization so that each person and unit is working smartly--and working together." The authors note that each organization has an idiosyncratic way of doing things that influences how individuals within the organization perform, and it's the individual behaviors that determine an organization's success over time.
Neilson, Pasternack, and Mendes state: "Just as the double-stranded DNA molecule is held together by bonds between base pairs of four nucleotides, whose sequence spells out the exact instructions required to create a unique organism, we describe the DNA of a living organization as having four bases that, combined in myriad ways, define an organization's unique traits." Booz Allen believes that better execution of business strategies will be the key attribute of superior-performing organizations in the future. The four bases, as described by Neilson, Pasternack, and Mendes, are:
Structure--What does the organizational hierarchy look like?
Decision Rights--Who decides what?
Motivators--What objectives, incentives, and career alternatives do people have?
Information--What metrics are used to measure performance?
The absence in this analysis of any mention of core values as an important determinant of the culture of an organization is striking.
In "The Seven Types of Organizational DNA," appearing in the Summer 2004 Strategy+Business, the authors extended Booz Allen's concept of organizational DNA, stating: "Like the DNA of living organisms, the DNA of living organizations consists of four building blocks, which combine and recombine to express distinct identities, or personalities. These organizational building blocks--structure, decision rights, motivators, and information--largely determine how a firm looks and behaves, internally and externally." In their article, Neilson, Pasternack, and Mendes detail the results of more than 4,000 assessments from the Booz Allen Org DNA Profiler[TM] (www. …

There is an iconic snapshot in Nashville Predators lore. It hangs in the foyer of Bridgestone Arena. It's from the summer of 2007, dark days for a team then regarded as little more than a bizarre — and expensive — civic novelty.
Back then, the Preds were in serious danger of moving to Hamilton, Ontario. Very serious danger. A Canadian wheeler-dealer named Jim Balsillie was putting public thumbscrews to then-owner Craig Leipold to sell him the team. Balsillie made no secret that he intended to relocate the Preds to the Great White North — and he made no secret of his disdain for those hillbilly hockey newbies dotting the stands down in Nashville. So what if he sported a wild-eyed expression like the Enzyte pitchman and a name tailor-made for talk-radio abuse? Balsillie meant business.
So there was a rally on the plaza outside Bridgestone Arena, a push to fire up the Music City faithful. Public perception was everything, and the team's future in Nashville — a city that has about as much hockey in its DNA as it has a hankering for caribou — was on the line. The photo shows then-Tennessee first lady Andrea Conte at the rally, holding a sign handed to her by one of the thousands in the crowd. It reads: "Get Your Damn Hands Off My Team."
At the time, that riled-up message represented the attitude of the Predators' fanbase, then little more than a cult of zealous early believers (including Conte). With the team and its die-hards under siege from the traditional markets from day one, the photo sent a message fans could get behind: Like Conte, we may look nice and demure, but when attacked — well, kitty's got claws.
Just weeks ago, though, the photo was joined in Predators lore by an equally iconic film. It's a scene from the minutes after the best season in Predators history came to an end against the Vancouver Canucks on May 9. It captures something seldom seen in professional sports: a capacity crowd giving a standing ovation to a team that just lost its shot at a championship.
The crowd — yes, as always, Andrea Conte included — is on its feet, loudly cheering. The players — emotionally overwhelmed to a man — are on their feet, almost awestruck as they stand by the bench. Like the photo just four years before, the film captures a turning point. But this shows that Nashville, once and for all, has become a hockey town.
How the hell did that happen?
By nearly every measure, the 2010-11 vintage of the Nashville Predators had the most successful season in team history. On the ice, the team reached unforeseen heights — starting with the Preds' very first playoff series win, one of dozens of firsts the 13-year-old franchise achieved this year.
Off the ice, though, the victory might have been even more dramatic. Average paid attendance during the regular season was 15,562 — up 9.1 percent from 2009-10. Comp tickets averaged 655 per game, down 22 percent. Overall attendance was up 9.3 percent, the third-largest increase in the NHL.
Silenced were the usual worries about relocation and the hand-wringing about attendance. As momentum built, the faithful greeted the news — or the lack thereof — with unprecedented mania, solidifying a reputation in the league for volume and enthusiasm.
By the time the Predators' golden (or perhaps more accurately, bronze) season roared to a close, hockey had grabbed hold of Music City, turning the once-apathetic town into throaty, blue-and-gold-clad cheerleaders.
Sure, a playoff run will do that — just ask the Tennessee Titans after their first electrifying season in Nashville. But so will savvy marketing and delivering a sense of ownership to a town thirsty for sporting success. As it turned out, the 2010-11 season was the perfect storm Nashville needed — a collision of luck, savvy marketing, social media, cosmic alignment and a team ready at last to leave claw marks in the ice.
Here, in the words of players, coaches and pundits — and perhaps above all, the loudest, wildest fans ever to catch pucks in their teeth and spit out iPhone covers — is the story of how Music City joined the Ice Age.
You want the short version? First, the Predators' homegrown superstars took a step forward on the ice just as the organization brought in front-office first-liners. Second, The Titans, long the city's pro sports darlings, suffered through a disappointing year. By the time they finished making headlines for all the wrong reasons — missing the playoffs (again), extracurricular mishaps (again), the snit-fit standoff between Vince Young and Jeff Fisher that got them matching collars in Bud Adams' doghouse — the NFL ensnared the team in the sort of off-putting labor dispute that makes fans groan and check out what's on ESPN Ocho.
And there, ready to seize the spotlight, stood the Preds.
Moments from the resulting year are burned into fans' memories as if by sunlight. There is Blake Geoffrion, the Brentwood-reared crown prince of a hockey royal family, scoring an improbable hat trick. There is Sergei Kostitsyn, the misunderstood cast-off from Montreal, scoring two goals against Detroit — including a jaw-dropping one-handed man-down effort that in other cultures would be remembered in folk songs and epic poetry. (And that was on his way to lead the team in goals — despite making nearly $100,000 less than Wade Belak, the ebullient enforcer who eventually made his spot in the press box permanent.) There is the captain, Shea Weber, firing that fearsome slap shot in the waning minutes of a St. Patrick's Day game against Boston that turned the Bruins green.
And that was just in the regular season.
In the playoffs, here came Weber (again) sending Game 5 against the Ducks into overtime with a last-second slap shot (again). On his heels was Jerred Smithson, maybe the grittiest, grindiest guy on a roster full of hard workers. He scored the game winner in overtime, giving Nashville the chance to win its first playoff series.
After they knocked out the Ducks, it was déjà vu in Game 2 of the second round against Vancouver. This time, it was Ryan Suter, Weber's steady righthand man, who scored the last-second goal, while Matt Halischuk — a man who came to Nashville as an afterthought in the trade that sent former captain Jason Arnott to New Jersey — played the part of overtime hero.
Before all that, of course, there was Pekka Rinne — the goalie his coach calls "The Eraser" — making that sprawling save that mocked the laws of physics as much as it gobsmacked the Canucks.
But a sports season is not just a bunch of bright stars; it's also a constellation. Looking back, this season was a series of streaks for the Predators — win five, lose three, then win four and lose two more. Through those ups and downs, though, Weber became a bona fide superstar defenseman, and scorers throughout the league stayed up nights trying to solve the puzzle that is Rinne.
It's easy to look at the Preds now, at the end of their best season yet, and say their rise was a sure thing. But longtime Preds followers saw the signs before the rest of the city. It helps if, like Jeremy Gover, you have a proper vantage point — say, Section 303, the mad-dog Bridgestone Arena fan pit now known throughout North America as the Cellblock.
Gover, who runs the Section303.com blog when he's not in the stands, felt from the beginning that this year's team would be different. Where lazy reporters and other markets saw only the middling franchise of old, Gover and other Preds lifers saw a team filled with hungry young players.
"[Jason] Arnott was traded, Steve Sullivan is in the last year of his contract, J-P Dumont has one year left," Gover says. That's three veteran guys — all of whom had success elsewhere before coming to Nashville — who are either coming to the end of their careers or the likely end of their Nashville tenures.
So instead of the core being older players developed elsewhere, the core became Weber, Suter, Rinne, Patric Hornqvist and a host of other up-and-comers who knew only what Coach Barry Trotz calls "The Predator Way." In the final game of the playoffs, 15 of the 23 players on the roster were Nashville draftees.
"It was a passing of the torch," Gover explains. "All those young guys we've homegrown. This is their team." More to the point, he adds, that gave them a connection to Nashville previous players didn't have. "The market responded," he says.
But something really changed in the city once the Predators signed Mike Fisher. The Predators had been doing well in attendance before that; they had been playing well, too, even as Trotz and general manager David Poile were forced to slot in young players like Geoffrion while the front-liners were sidelined with injuries.
With college football over, and the NFL's return up in the air, sports media were suddenly starved for stories. Here came Nashville with an intriguing trade, just as interest in hockey in Middle Tennessee was picking up. Not only was Fisher a strong player who made for good copy, he and bride Carrie Underwood gave the city its first pro-sports/superstar power couple — a welcome respite from those tape loops of Cameron Diaz nuzzling A-Rod.
"The Fisher trade was a big deal, naturally, when he got traded here," says Dirk Hoag, who runs the popular Predators blog On the Forecheck. When Fisher came to Music City, he says, outsiders' perception of Nashville began to change.
With Fisher on board, the Preds were about to start a thrilling push to the playoffs that would include 12 home games in the last 15. When the team made the post-season, the buzz around the team started to crescendo.
"If you had told me 15 years ago, you're going to have a hockey team and this city's going to fall in love with them, it would have been crazy," says Brent Dougherty, one of three hosts on 104.5 The Zone's 3 Hour Lunch. A fixture of Nashville sports radio since the mid-'90s, Dougherty makes it his business to know what's got local sports fans by the Astroturf at the moment.
"What we try to do is pay attention," he says. "We try to figure out what people are talking about around the water cooler, and the Predators certainly became that. That attention was noticeable. People were talking about this team. People who weren't necessarily hockey fans fell in love with this team. It was a Nashville item. It became a city pride thing."

"Beautiful scenery - an amazing house with a kind, helpful owner!"
My wife and I had our wedding celebration here; we stayed for two nights to cover our rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception.
The grounds were well kept, the house was a perfect size for our group of ~60, and everything turned out perfectly. Kara, the owner, was incredibly kind and informative throughout the process. She was quick to respond to emails and inquiries. The rental agreement may seem a bit thorough, but as long as your party is respectful and responsible, there shouldn't be any issues. (We received our full damage deposit back very quickly after our event.)
If you're looking for a place that's close to town but still has a "remote" feel, you should definitely come here. We couldn't have asked for a better retreat.

"Great place for a committee retreat"
The Ministerial Search Committee from our church used Cedar Tree House as a retreat location, and was very happy with all the accommodations! We were there to conduct business in a private setting, away from our daily distractions and this facility worked wonderfully. All accommodations were comfortable, from cooking and dining to sleeping. The full kitchen made it easy to prepare meals together and the dining area made it a pleasure to share them. Our meetings took place in the living room, where we found comfortable seating, an intimate atmosphere, and beautiful surroundings both in the room and outside the windows. And speaking of the outside surroundings, Cedar Tree House is nestled in the woods, in a setting that provides privacy and creates an environment for thoughtful working or insightful, peaceful reflection. I'd highly recommend Cedar Tree House to any group looking for a working retreat or a place to connect with one another.

"Lovely family retreat space"
Our extended family stayed at Cedar Tree House for a family reunion last august. Keeping everyone comfortable and entertained is always a hard thing to do, but at Cedar Tree it was easy! The kids loved all of the outdoor areas- the deck, the beautiful wooded area, the basketball hoop, the fire pit field, and the patio swing. The adults liked the fully equipped kitchen, living room (with cable!), the BBQ area and the yurt. Cedar tree was a lovely place to gather, and enjoy NW Washington at it's best.

"Perfect accommodations for Our Son's Wedding"
We needed a place to accommodate 7 couples and host a wedding day brunch for 25. This was the perfect place and Kara was very helpful. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of plates, glasses, silverware, etc. Both of our parents stayed next door at the very comfortable Tree Frog Inn. It was their little private getaway they could walk to but still feel part of the celebration. I wish we had more time to explore the beautiful surrounding property. The large private deck most be spectacular on warm sunny days.

"Wonderful location for family time"
Cedar House provided an amazing setting for our family reunion. The fire pit became the hot spot during the stay where many memories and photos were made and taken. The home provided everything we needed and we could not have asked for anything else. The home was clean and the perfect set up for our gathering. It was fantastic being so close to town but feeling so far from it all.

"Lovely place to stay and have a celebration at, we highly reccom"
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cedar tree house. We stayed there with four other adults. There was plenty of room for more people to sleep over. The house is very spacious and yet has a very cozy and "homey" feeling. My daughter graduated from Western and we threw a small party for her there. There was plenty of room, dishes and cooking space, we had an age range of 19 to 80+ and everyone had a lovely time. It was by far a better experience than renting a room at a restaurant and probably a lot less expensive! The deck is just beautiful and the hot tub is lovely and quiet. The grounds are beautifully maintained. I would highly recommend this for any type of celebration or family get together. I have recommended it to my friends who also have upcoming graduates. We will be there when my next daughter graduates!

"Four brothers and their families celebrate the life of C. Dean M"
Four brothers and their families (a total of 22 people, adults, young adults and children) came from several states and Europe to C. Dean Martin's celebration of life. All gathered in the Cedar Tree house. Few had previously been to Bellingham and wanted an appropriate place for privacy, and also a base to explore many of Dean's favorite places. This included hiking trails, the bay and the historic districs. This was the perfect secluded setting, with amazing facilities. Our special trip to honor our brother, would not have been nearly as special without the Cedar Tree House, and the great staff. The Martin Families...

"Lovely, casual, and pretty much perfect"
From the initial inquiry about the property to follow up communications, the quality of customer service response and care was remarkable. Thank you Kara!
The space itself was beyond what I had anticipated...the photos do not do this place enough justice. The yurt space was especially perfect for our large group meetings. The only minor issue was WiFi was a bit bogged down at times (with so many users in our group) however it worked for the most part. But with a gourmet kitchen and hot tub, what's not to love about the Cedar Tree??

"What a treat !"
Thanks Kara for sharing your lovely house with us! Perfect getaway from the city if you just want to spend time with your friends and family. We were a group of 22 people and the house was spacious enough to accommodate all of us. We celebrated New Year's Eve here and everyone had a great time! Just outside the house there is a beautiful yurt, with heated wooden floor and great sound system. We absolutely enjoyed dancing in the yurt on New Year's Eve. The house is well equipped for all your needs. It is very clean, spacious, and also has lot of board games to entertain you in the evenings. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, appliances and everything that you needed to cook. The master bath is huge with beautiful closet. The hot tub area was very inviting with propane BBQ on the side. It was great to come back to a hot tub after a long day at Mt. Baker (which is about 45 minute drive from here). What a wonderful start to this year! The house had everything to make our stay a memorable one: hot tub, bon fire, yurt, sound system in every room, grill and a beautiful view of the trees. I would highly recommend this place to everyone. The owners were a pleasure to deal with and we hope to return again soon!

"A memorable experience"
My daughter and I stayed one night for a women's retreat. It was awesome. The place is beautiful, warm and very quiet. It has all the conveniences you can wish for. Gathering whether it is in the living room or the kitchen is wonderful. The Jacuzzi at night is heaven, especially when it has snowed. It was a memorable experience.
This home is a great space and location. So much attention has clearly been paid to make sure guests have everything they need, from kitchen necessities to extra blankets to shampoo. Plus, with a hot tub, serene trees, and flexible and attractive indoor spaces, the atmosphere is both peaceful and cozy. This is the perfect place for a gathering of family or friends. I immediately felt relaxed and right at home, almost as if I had decorated the space myself!

Phasekitty has been really digging Horse Feathers, a band that I turned her onto a while back, and asked me for a recommendation for some other mellow music that she can listen to at 6 A.M. 2 1
Now that I finally got my site to look the way I'd like it to, I finally posted an entry on OnSugar. 0 1
So, you may recall I mentioned that we met Brando's brother Norman, who lives just around the corner from us, a few weeks ago. 0 1
Okay, I'm 100% fashion impaired and I don't belong to any of the "Fashion/Outfit" groups on Sugar for that very reason, so I'm posting this publicly here in hopes that someone with taste might be able to help me out. 0 1
I don't know how many fellow closet comic book fans are out there (or not so closet, if you're ready to embrace your geekdom), but I seriously just found one of the coolest things I've seen in a while. 0 1

State health officials say a 15-year-old is the first death for this flu season. They will not release what county the teen lived in, nor even their sex.
The state says the victim did not receive a flu vaccine this season. "The death of this healthy young person is a tragic reminder of the potentially devastating effects flu can have on people at any age," said State Health Director Dr. Jeff Engel. "Most flu infections can be prevented by getting the vaccine. Flu vaccine is readily available and affordable this year, and is the single most effective way to protect yourself and your loved ones."
The state recommends anyone over 6 months old receive a flu shot. They say the flu is now widespread across the state and that it's not too late to still get your vaccine.

I decided to enter this web I love crafts and sewing. I love to recycle because other objects are useless for me are art and many processed after are very useful. Their arts are also varied, from all to all. And although not much English, I think the art as a sport has no barriers. Greetings to all who love art from my beautiful island PuertoRico.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AKRGUY73 A great Holiday sports coat. I've wanted to purchase a velvet blazer for the holidays for years, so when this came available this season I really wanted to get it. I am so glad I did! It feels amazing! It looks amazing! It fits amazing! The navy is dark, so in the evening, the main color looks almost black, but it picks up a navy sheen when light hits it. The fit is comfortable enough you can layer a thin sweater underneath, but slim enough you can just wear a dress shirt. I was worried about its versatility, but it's a fun piece you can wear to a party or out shopping for the holidays. I am a bigger guy and I purchased the 46r. The sides have material so it can be let out about an inch if you need some extra room. I look forward to wearing this for years to come over the holidays. November 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by americaninlondon Luxury in Blue This jacket is fantastic quality and a great fit. The velvet is very luxurious, a wonderful, rich colour that will look great for years to come. I've had custom-tailored jackets that didn't fit this well - that cost considerably more. I'll wear it with tux trousers or jeans. December 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dave Velvet Jacket Great jacket: love it! J. Crew is very consistent in their sizing and I'm very confident when I order something on-line that it will fit the way I intend it to fit. I am of pretty average size and build (34/30 pants- L shirt-42R jacket) and you pretty much get what you want when you order from J. Crew via the internet. The same cannot always be said of every vendor November 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by wombat Amazing Got this jacket to wear to the Vienna Opera house... And it's pretty much perfect. Turned a lot of heads, got a lot of compliments (including some from very well dressed, older Austrian gentlemen). December 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by SDAT Perfect velvet jacket Ordered this jacket for my partner. He absolutely loved it. Fits perfectly, the fabric feels great and has a unique look, and it's a piece that will last for years. January 14, 2015
