I'm so excited that the mid season winter tv breaks are going to be over. I've been dying to see some of my favorite shows and catch up on the story of my favorite characters. I'm also excited to start watching the New Episode of Merlin. That show has not been on air since this past summer I believe. I was going through withdrawals.
Over the past month or so I have been forced to watch reruns of shows on Netflix. In a way I actually used it as an opportunity to watch shows that I never watched before. I did the same thing during the summer too. I watched every season of Lost because I never watched a single episode while it aired. I also watched Drop Dead Diva which was pretty good. It was a funny legal comedy. This Winter I've been watching My Boys. I been rather enjoying this show actually. It's has a very laid back and funny group of friends and just seems to relax me when I turn it on.
What do you do during the off season of your favorite television shows? Do you watch the reruns as they air or do you use that time to spend with family? Or, do you watch shows that you have never watched before like I have been doing?

To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold - brothers who know now they are truly brothers.

To a chemist there is nothing impure on earth. The writer should be just as objective as the chemist; he should liberate himself from everyday subjectivity and acknowledge that manure piles play a highly respectable role in the landscape and that evil passions are every bit as much a part of life as good ones.

God owns heaven, but He craves the earth.
Anne Sexton
When at eve, at the bounding of the landscape, the heavens appear to recline so slowly on the earth, imagination pictures beyond the horizon an asylum of hope, - a native land of love; and nature seems silently to repeat that man is immortal.
Anne Louise Germaine de Stael (1766 - 1817)
There is a glorious pattern for every man's life, an individual, perfect patter. No two people are alike . . . No two leaves are alike-no two snowstorms-no two sets of fingerprints. No two lives are alike, yet each life holds a divine pattern of unfoldment, a great and holy destiny, rich in achievement and honor. As you live true to the pattern of yourself, that deep, inner self, you will unfold as perfect, as joyous, as naturally beautiful as the tree will reach its full measure of fulfillment. No one can keep you from reaching your highest destiny if you will follow your own true pattern of life. No one can live your life for you, for only you hold the key to your own pattern of sublime, glorious, complete fulfillment. Such is the destiny written in the soul of every man and woman who comes to earth. None are without it, that completely individual highway of full expression and glorious achievement.

Women of genius commonly have masculine faces, figures and manners. In transplanting brains to an alien soil God leaves a little of the original earth clinging to the roots.
Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914)
When the Russians succeeded in putting the first satellite into orbit, one of their scientists is reported to have said, "Now that we have conquered space, our next conquest is that of man." An American anthropologist, Leslie A. White, of the University of Michigan, is reported in a Detroit newspaper as saying, "A cultural system which can launch earth satellites can dispense with Gods entirely." This is a great day for the false scientist-they who have left God out of their education. Of these the Apostle Paul even in his day warned his weakening convert, Timothy, to beware of: O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called. (I Timothy 6 :20.)
Alvin R. Dyer (1903 - 1977)
Source: at BYU, April 7, 1964
The real scientist will realize that TRUTH has many avenues of approach to its many phases, and that spiritual truths are to be sought after even more determinedly than others which have to do with this life and earth only. It must be recognized when they do this that spiritual truths are not found on the drawing board or in test tubes. The pursuit of such prescribes that the things of man are understood by the spirit and perceptions of man while the things of God are made known by the revelations of God. Man in and of himself cannot find them out. Yet they are obtained by search-the search for truth, yes, spiritual truth. The youth in particular must not be deceived by the elementary discoveries that have been made by science in many fields. Rockets, missiles and their great potentiality are amazing to us all, but very minute when compared to the majesty of the universe. The real scientist would probably be the first to acknowledge the minor things that have been done thus far as a result of the discovery of atomic and hydrogen power. The fact that they have been able to draw on materials and sources of things already there is perhaps the best evidence of the greatness of God and the virtual nothingness of man thus far exhibited in his pursuits of knowledge. When we attempt to develop a true philosophy of life, one of the first things to do is to gain a full appreciation and understanding of God.

Who shall be crowned the Queen? Yesterday's battle royale was quite the exciting time here on the Cactus Blog. Today we have the queenly entries, and we are right out the gate disqualifying any actual cactus, since there are many species that are known as the Queen, like this beautiful Queen of the Night.
And the contenders, please…
Queen Cactus – She's a pedigreed cow? Queen Cactus was a royal cow from the House of Windsor back in the 1890s, but she was famous in her time I'm sure.
Cactus Queen – now this is the most delicious of the cactus queens, I'm sure, being a beer. Cactus Queen IPA from the Yellow Rose Brewing Company in Texas.
So once again, you know what to do, click on the one you think is most deserving of the title of Queen of the Cactus.

New Karnivool, Tame Impala, Mutemath and more on the Tuesday Five at 5. Tune in.
The Indiecision Five at 5 is your one-click stop to check out great music curated by NH7.in's editorial staff and users. Veteran Indiecision writer Debayan 'Deb' Deb is on the decks today. Tune the f**k in.
1. Ghost BC – 'Monstrance Clock'
Don't you wish sometimes that every metal band from Sweden sounded like Kyuss?
2. Mutemath - 'Typical'
Typical was the track that got me hooked onto Mutemath. Great riffs often lead to great songs. This song is no exception.
3. Queens of The Stone Age - 'Kalopsia'
This track is slowly becoming my favorite of the new QOTSA album …Like Clockwork (aside from 'Fairweather Friends' that was featured on this Five at 5).
4. Tame Impala - 'Be Above It'
Opening track of Tame Impalas second album Lonerism. Another Tame Impala track that proves Kevin Parker is a genius.
5. Karnivool – 'AM War'
From whatever I have heard of the new Karnivool record, this is the track that stands out the most. Found this live video online a few months ago. Can't wait for the whole album in the next three days.

Good product but with side effects
Posted by MummyKnowsBest on Aug 17, 2013
Side effects on my son, bloated stomach, alot of wind and constipated. As with all probiotics, i guess its normal. Only first week, shall monitor. I give alternate days for him.
Good Probiotic
Posted by Reviewer1305094 on Jun 03, 2010
I found Jarrow Forumlas Saccharomyces Boulardii to work much better, which did wonders for the terrible gas I would often have.
Posted by Reviewer1409377 on Jun 03, 2008
works well, but I wish iHerb would ship this in a cooler bag eventhough the package says you can keep this in normal temperature. most of the health store sells this product in refrigirater section. I wonder how they store this in the warehouse ...
Pretty Good products.
Posted by SmartHealth on Dec 22, 2012
I give this product for my kid for digestive suppoprt. She took it for almost 4 years as I just follow the people who wrote glowing report about it. I come to conclusion that it still works much better if you take multi probiotics No matter how superior the single strain is, our body needs multiple strains to make it work. Nonetheless, it is a good product if you don't mind spending the money like I did in the past 4 yr. I have stop using it and switch to multi strains probiotics.
prefer other brands...
Posted by Reviewer2550937 on Jun 29, 2012
...this seems like hugely popular product but i was disappointed. wrong probiotic for my stomach i guess.
Good Strain
Posted by Reviewer2245771 on Aug 05, 2012
Good strain, survives acid and colonized the gut as far as I could understand, unfortunately they put excipients in the piils, I hate this...
Not sure how to judge
Posted by Reviewer1624740 on Sep 26, 2012
I've been taking these for a few weeks now and have not noticed any difference with digestion or other issues. I'm not sure how I can assess them because perhaps they are doing good but I just don't know. Hence I've given them a 3 star.
Posted by Reviewer3119083 on Apr 13, 2013
really...nothing... i so wanted this product to be helpful but instead i didn't feel anything.
Posted by Reviewer3308983 on Jun 19, 2013
don't know if its done anything. haven't notice a difference in my digestion. It was delivered and sat on my porch in heat (upper 70's, low 80's) before I got the package. Maybe that diminished the effectiveness...?
Nice package
Posted by Reviewer2847967 on Feb 27, 2012
Apart from the nice package, I don't feel any improvement for my leaky gut

Your AdWords account is a complex system of components, working together to ensure that your campaigns run properly, efficiently and effectively. Over time, however, these components can become overwhelming, convoluted and just plain unmanageable. With thousands of search queries, keywords, ad groups, and negative keywords to keep track of, it's no wonder your account looks like the dreaded utility drawer.
WordStream's AdWords Account Tune-up is a one-time service that will get your AdWords account cleaned up, straightened out and in fighting shape again. Our team of Google Certified AdWords Professionals will analyze your existing AdWords account, reviewing statistics, evaluating campaign structure and identifying issues that are preventing you from reaching your PPC goals.

- Negative keyword research and implementation
- Improving click-through and conversion rates
- Lowering costs and raising ROI

If needed. Not all accounts need to be re-created from scratch. However, if that is what yours requires, we'll do it. The most important thing is fixing the issues. How we get there is just part of the fun.
What type of clients sign up for Tune-Ups?
Tune-ups are for any AdWords advertiser who wants expert consulting and action taken on their account to improve campaign performance.
Will a Tune-Up really improve my complicated account?
Most likely yes! But because we cannot guarantee we can fix every account, we offer a free consultation before we begin to assess your account and goals. If we can fix it, we will take the job. If we don't think we can make significant improvements we will tell you.
How soon can we begin?
We can begin right away! Typically, we will begin with a kick-off call with your dedicated Account Manager to discuss your issues and goals.
Can I sign up for a Tune-Up without being a software subscriber?
Tune-Up clients need to have a WordStream for PPC subscription.

Ground swath was 16 km x 217 km. Also carried a DISIC (Dual Improved Stellar Index) camera, with a focal length of 91 cm, a ground resolution of 30 m, and frame coverage of 260 km x 260 km.
Gross mass: 3,000 kg (6,600 lb).
First Launch: 1967.09.15.
Last Launch: 1972.05.25.
Number: 24 .
The only problem was that those tests were made with a Thor that carried a Rocketdyne engine lubricated with "lube oil". The Thor being launched used a fuel additive, "Orinite" (like STP "super snot"). The technician that pumped the Orinite into its cannister later stated, "It wasn't for lack of orinite. I put it in just like the procedure said, and I could feel when it was full (with the hand pump). To make sure, I gave it another slug."
That "other slug" cracked the output valve that was only supposed to be cracked by turbopump output pressure. When it cracked the output valve a bit of the "honey" squirted down the tube toward engine bearing jets. This line had a low spot in it by design. The Orinite settled there. When it was chilled by the low temp air at lox loading, the Orinite formed a plug.
Unaware of this chain of circumstances, Launch Director Philip Payne made the decision to launch. The rocket (carrying Agena D and payload) flew for 18 seconds, then wiped out its gears, causing the turbine to overspeed and shed its vanes. These punctured various parts in the boattail like machine gun bullets. With loss of power, the rocket fell not far from the launch pad into Bear Creek canyon.
The final cause was therefore found to be loss of engine lubrication at startup.

Maybe someone could help me with a bit of alebraic topology.
Take $M$ a $n$-manifold with $n \geq 3$ , and $V$ a submanifold of codimension $2$ in $M$. Assume $H_{n-2}(V) = 0$. I've read that under those hypothesis, there exists a cyclic ramified covering $\tilde{M} \longrightarrow M$, where $V$ is the set of the ramification point.
I've been told that it was clearly a consequence of the fact that the normal bundle at $V$ in $M$was trivial.
1) I don't see why this implies the existence of such a covering
2) I don't understand why the normal bundle at $V$ in $M$ is trivial. I assume $H_{n-2}(V) = 0$ implies that $V$ bounds an hypersurface, and one can define a normal vector field at $V$ (puting a Riemmanian metric on $M$, and taking the orthonormal vector at $T_pV$ pointing towards such an hypersurface). I couldn't go any further.
Sorry if there are obvious property I have not seen, I've just begun learning homology.
Have a nice day, and thanks for future answers

You'll find the galleries housed in the buildings to the east and west of the Meridian Gate as you enter, and you'll have to pay an additional fee to see some of the exhibits, like the Hall of Clocks, but it's a small fee and it can be worth it to get away from the crowds and the Beijing heat during the summer months.

Warm, dry weather has given Kansas farmers
a one-week jump on getting their corn crop harvested.
Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday the corn
harvest is 28 percent complete. That's twice the amount of corn
that's usually in the bin at this point in the season.
Harvest is also under way for the state's sorghum crop. KASS
reports 3 percent of the sorghum has been cut.
Kansas farmers have also begun planting next year's winter wheat
The agency reports about 5 percent of the winter wheat has been
seeded so far.

A Tale of Two Cities
by Charles Dickens
A Tale of Two Cities Morals and Ethics Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Volume.Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
At length the jackal had got together a compact repast for the lion, and proceeded to offer it to him. The lion took it with care and caution, made his selections from it, and his remarks upon it, and the jackal assisted both. When the repast was fully discussed, the lion put his hands in his waistband again, and lay down to mediate. (2.5.27)
Sydney does all the thinking while Stryver, his "friend," takes all the credit for being a brilliant legal mind. Depicting this relationship as similar to that of jackals and lions furthers the sense that this is a natural (and unchangeable) order.
Quote #5
He knew very well, that in his horror of the deed which had culminated the bad deeds and bad reputation of the old family house, in his resentful suspicions of his uncle, and in the aversion with which his conscience regarded the crumbling fabric that he was supposed to uphold, he had acted imperfectly. He knew very well, that in his love for Lucie, his renunciation of his social place, though by no means new to his own mind, had been hurried and incomplete. (2.24.58)
Darnay's sudden decision to return to France is based upon a strong sense of responsibility for his family's actions. To his mind, inaction can be as immoral as bad actions.
Quote #6
His latent uneasiness had been, that bad aims were being worked out in his own unhappy land by bad instruments, and that he who could not fail to know that he was better than they, was not there, trying to do something to stay bloodshed, and assert the claims of mercy and humanity. With this uneasiness half stifled, and half reproaching him, he had been brought to the pointed comparison of himself with the brave old gentleman in whom duty was so strong. (2.24.61)
The type of introspection that Darnay shows at this moment marks him as our "hero." He's just so… good. It's interesting to note that we don't get a similar moment of reflection when Carton contemplates heroic action.

Sterrett sardonically replied, "Is that so?" and hoisted his American colors. His men fired a volley of musketry that was answered by a broadside from the corsair. The two ships commenced a running gun battle that lasted nearly three hours. Twice during the fierce engagement the Tripolitan captain struck his colors as a sign of surrender, but when the Americans sent a boat to board, Rous reopened fire and ran his colors back up. After a third resumption of devastating fire, the Tripolitan at last tore down his colors and this time tossed them into the sea. In his after-action report to the squadron commodore, Sterrett wrote:
The carnage on board was dreadful; she having 30 men killed and 30 wounded, among the latter was the Captain and first lieutenant. Her sails, masts and rigging were cut to pieces with 18 shot between wind and water. Shortly after taking possession, her mizzenmast went over the side. . . . With heartfelt pleasure I add, that the officers and men throughout the vessel behaved in the most spirited and determined manner, obeying every command with promptitude and alertness. We have not had a man wounded, and we have sustained no material damage in our hull or rigging.
It was a minor victory among minor ships from minor nations, yet it came at a formative time when the fledgling U.S. Navy was just emerging onto the world stage. In that context, it was a major victory and the harbinger of greater things to come.

Pullboxes (aka pull boxes) are relatively large 5-sided hollow rectangular structures that are topped with a manhole or other access cover and placed in conduit runs. They have pvc perm-a-ducts in the sides of the structure through which cabling and wiring is run. Pull boxes give easy access to communications, utility, or electrical wiring.
Handholes are similar to pullboxes in that they also allow easy access to telecom, utility, or electrical wiring. They are typically used to house junctions or splices in the wiring. Unlike pullboxes, handholes are much smaller structures that are topped with a small access cover. They are typically placed in medians, alongside driveways, electrical boxes, lamp posts, or other similar structures.
Precast concrete pullboxes and handholes are environmentally friendly, convenient, and naturally fire resistant. They are available in a variety of sizes and are ideal for most projects that require cabling junction access.

Two large studies are easing concerns about links between antidepressants and birth defects.
The research appears on June 28, 2007, in the New England Journal of Medicine. It focuses on the class of drugs most often prescribed for depression and anxiety, including Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft.
The studies find that newborns face little risk of birth defects even if their mothers take the drugs early in their pregnancies.
Concerns arose after earlier studies linked certain antidepressants to heart defects and lung problems.
Doctors now say the drugs pose "no major risk" to newborns, but one adds that he wouldn't say there's "no risk."
They advise that women talk to their physicians about taking antidepressants, preferably before pregnancy.

In a place like the greater Los Angeles (L.A.) area which sprawls over five southern California counties (Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Riverside and Ventura) covering 33,954 square miles with a population of over 18 million as of 2011, you would be correct in thinking there would seemingly be an unlimited amount of sights in L.A. to write about.
Some sights probably seem obvious. Some sights may seem permanent. Some sights may be as temporary as lasting a mere second in time. And let's face it, some may seem downright cheesy.
In the cheesy category, none may appear to be cheesier than the Airport Holiday Inn. Yet, what if those walls could talk? What if you were a fly on the inn's walls? Imagine the events and goings-on that have occurred at this one L.A. sight past, present and future.
What if you had been an appreciative attendee of a meeting of some phenomenally fabulous women (and a few fabulous men) for an event that could very well be a contribution to the history of global women's empowerment and California congressional politics?
That event: Global Women Summit meeting
Main contributors: Paula Fellingham, founder of The WIN (Women's Information Network); and Norma Hollis and some of her associates at Authenticity Coaching
Present throughout the two day event: information, contacts, sponsors, joy, awards, food, fun and phenomenal women
Most anticipated speaker of the summit: Marianne Williamson
Ms. Williamson was at the summit to share that she is running for Congress in California's 33rd District, which includes most of the coastline of Los Angeles County.
Now your examiner purposely writes about art and sightseeing because there is very little overlap with these two subjects and politics. Also, the current political climate has had her feeling somewhat apathetic about the subject for a few years. Writing about this is a smidge out of her comfort zone, but here goes.
Marianne shared she had been approached numerous times for many years to run for political office to which she graciously declined. With Henry Waxman retiring and the advent of social media, now seemed to be the time for her to as they say, "throw her hat into the ring."
Marianne shared that her thirty or so years in the spirituality community have garnered her at least half a million people who have in some way been touched by her energy, including the many books she has written.
This large-with-passion-in-a-petite-body woman shared how our current political "animal" is now being, to gluttonous proportions, fed mostly by big business with PACs and the like. She isn't saying money isn't a necessary ingredient to the success of an effective and functioning congressperson. However, you can choose the food you will ingest. With that in mind, she envisioned that if each of the half million mentioned above sent her only $3 each, that would be a nice helping of "cheddar" to help feed her efforts. Also, there would be the satisfaction of contribution from the people and not from the strings-attached contributions of special interest groups.
At this article's press time, your examiner does not live in Marianne's district. And time is trickling away with the June 3rd primary only two days away. So, you may ask, why bother?
Well, if you are reading this article, it is most likely not a coincidence. And if in some way together (writer and reader) we can be an invitation that is accepted by someone in California's 33rd District who perceives the value of voting for Marianne Williamson who may not have otherwise been moved to vote, well... Imagine the possibilities. Imagine if as Ms. Williamson mentioned that this could be the start of reform in United States government the likes of which might some day be compared to the abolition of slavery, women getting the vote and the civil rights movement.
Who do you know? What can you do? What contribution can you be that if you would be it just might change her story, history and the landscape of L.A.?
Like the phenomenon that tells us a butterfly that flaps its wings here has an energetic effect on the other side of this third rock from the sun, you never know what change your seemingly small contribution can make.

A painting is essentially a commemorative act that celebrates the sheer fact of existence intimately and communally. It is formed by energies, impulses and thoughts, some of whose origins are unknown even to the artist. During its creation the painting will elude the maker's hand, escape his mind's eye, confound his intentions.
The making of a painting is like a journey undertaken without a known destination. A painting can be a portal to memories and feelings that can change the way we view the world to the extent that we are able to see it anew.

Making it happen: To launch her online business selling affordable accessories, Cabrelli spent $500, which went toward inventory, "Yahoo! Store" fees, domain name registration and books on e-commerce. Initially she bought clothes from U.S. distributors, but soon she decided to create her own line and sell wholesale. Emily pitched in from the beginning—designing clothes, picking styles, giving reviews. In 2008, Cabrelli crossed off the next item on her dream-life checklist by moving her family to an oceanfront home in the Bahamas, close enough to the U.S. for Emily to visit her father in northern Virginia. Now Cabrelli enjoys daily walks, watches the sun rise over the ocean and spends evenings listening to the waves. Her company was profitable in its first year, with gross revenues just over $100,000, and she's since launched two more doll-related businesses. "They pay enough to cover our $4,000 to $5,000 monthly expenses," she says.
In 2012, with her ex-husband's blessing, Cabrelli will roll out phase two of her reinvention plan: Her family will travel in France, Italy and Spain ("I love the architecture, the history, the tapas"), and Mark will homeschool Emily. "I love traveling and exploring new cultures," she says. "Watching my daughter live this great experience has been the best payoff."
Under the Tuscan Sun: Lily Morda
Florence, Italy
Former job: Owned a bead shop in Seattle.
What she does now: Handcrafts jewelry, teaches jewelry making and—with her husband, Tim Morda—owns Beaded Lily (beadedlily.com), a shop selling the couple's handmade glass beads and artisan jewelry.
The backstory: When Morda opened her Seattle store in 1990, it was one of just three bead shops in the city. Ten years later, there were 15 others. "What started out as a fun and creative business turned into a rat race," she says. "Constant pressure to keep up with the competition led to a lot of expenses and stress." She closed the store. A year earlier Tim had closed the café he owned for similar reasons. The couple decided the time was right for an extended vacation in Italy. Morda, with Italian roots on both sides of her family, had always dreamed of moving there.
The inspiration: Arriving in Tuscany, Morda instantly felt part of the community of artisans making stained-glass lamps, cabinetry, ceramics, even violins. She loved the region's rolling hillsides and rich artistic and cultural history. "I had this wonderful feeling of being at home," says Morda. "It reminded me of how life felt growing up in a small town: a feeling of innocence, community and simplicity."
Making it happen: The couple, who married in 1999, settled in Lucca, where Tim learned to make glass lamp-work beads in the Venetian tradition and Morda began crafting jewelry from his beads. In 2005 they moved to Florence and opened Beaded Lily (monthly rent: $760), selling their designs. "Tim would make the beads at home," says Morda. "Often I would wake up in the morning, and there would be a plate of freshly made artisan beads sitting on the dining room table waiting for me." They subsequently moved to a larger, 600-square-foot shop-studio, with tall arched ceilings, vintage chairs and walls decorated with their merchandise. "We do everything ourselves, including maintaining our websites, filling orders, teaching and procuring inventory," says Morda, whose lineage allowed her to become an Italian citizen in 2003. She no longer worries about competition. "In Florence there is no one else doing what we do, in the way we do it." Five years into the business, they gross less than they did in the U.S., but the overhead in Florence is much lower, and they love the lifestyle. "Small-business owners close their shops and go home to eat lunch with their families or head to local eateries with friends and colleagues," she says. "It's one of Italy's best traditions. We've never been happier, both with ourselves as individuals and with the quality of our day-to-day lives."

Hi all, I've been poking around cdio.h, and here's what I determined: o There is no simple CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS or some such. I can't determine if a tray is open or closed unless I try to open or close it. o In order to open a tray that does not contain a cdrom, I need to specify the raw device. o If there is a cd in the drive, I am allowed to not specify the raw device o If the tray is open, I need to specify the raw device Now, am I correct with these conclusions? How can I poll the drive and determine conclusively that (a) it's open, (b) it's closed AND contains a CD or (c) it's closed and does NOT contain a CD? Thanks in advance for all pointers... -Jan -- -- "OK, so ten out of ten for style, but minus several million for good thinking, yeah?"

The Columbia River Crossing appears close to a mitigation agreement with two of the three major riverfront manufacturers negatively affected by the project, after Greenberry Industrial announced Monday that it was nearing a deal.
The company's statement follows a similar confirmation by Oregon Iron Works last week. But the CRC so far hasn't found the same progress with the third business, Vancouver-based Thompson Metal Fab.
"We haven't reached any settlement with them," Thompson spokesman Tom Hunt said Monday.
CRC officials expect to use millions of taxpayer dollars to compensate the three manufacturers who say they'd be squeezed by the $3.4 billion Interstate 5 Bridge replacement, which would reduce the maximum clearance under the freeway. Project and state leaders have spent recent months negotiating with each company to determine just how much they'll pay as mitigation.
Greenberry's statement indicates those talks are approaching a resolution on two of three fronts.
"Greenberry Industrial is close to reaching a mitigation agreement with Oregon and Washington on the impact a restricted-height Interstate 5 bridge would have on our company's operations," Greenberry's statement said. "We are encouraged by the progress of recent negotiations and are optimistic about reaching an agreement that will enable Greenberry to maintain its proven business model and will protect critical manufacturing jobs for our employees in both states."
Through a spokesman, the company declined further comment. It's unclear how much the CRC would pay Greenberry under the agreement, or whether Greenberry would move any part of its existing operation downstream of a new I-5 bridge.
Last week, Oregon Iron Works said it was also nearing a deal that would allow it to remain in its Vancouver location. That company had indicated it was not interested in relocating.
Those involved in the negotiations haven't disclosed details. The talks are bound by nondisclosure agreements.
Hunt said he's not surprised to hear that Greenberry and Oregon Iron Works are close to agreements with the CRC. But the negotiations are playing out separately, he said, and the outcome of one doesn't necessarily affect the others.
Thompson, like the other companies, has said it supports the CRC — even as it raises concerns about the bridge height and the economic hit it could deliver.
"We'd love to reach an accommodation," Hunt said. "But it's just not there."
The CRC would replace twin lift spans with a new bridge providing 116 feet of fixed clearance, too low for the upriver manufacturers at Vancouver's Columbia Business Center to fit their largest products under the bridge. The existing I-5 Bridge offers 178 feet of clearance when lifted.
The CRC has said the difference could cost the three manufacturers up to $116 million in total lost profits. Project leaders are hoping to finalize mitigation agreements by the end of August.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Coast Guard is weighing whether to approve a crucial bridge permit by this fall. The Washington Legislature is headed for a funding decision that could make or break the CRC. And C-Tran, one of the project's local sponsoring agencies, is reconsidering its own role ahead of a board meeting Tuesday.
In addition to replacing the I-5 Bridge, the CRC would extend light rail into Vancouver and rebuild freeway interchanges on both sides of the Columbia River.

Gzeazy has posted a picture of what could be ATI's still unconfirmed Radeon 9800 SE. The existence of this card only came to light recently when it was mentioned in the Catalyst 3.5 Driver release notes.
If this photograph is authentic, then the lack of an external power connector would indicate that the SE operates at a lower core/memory frequency than the original Radeon 9800 Pro, positioning it somewhere between the 9600Pro and the 9800Pro in ATI's current product range.

From the cheap and cheerful clothing sold in city center street stalls to the sprawling Chatuchak Weekend Market, Bangkok has long been defined as a shopping destination. At the moment, however, the city is under the spotlight for a well-organized pocket of local designers and a vibrant fashion scene.
At the invitation of the Thailand tourist board, 87 influential journalists and buyers from around the world turned up for Elle Bangkok Fashion Week last month, where the city was as much on display as the designers. Before the Spring/Summer '13 shows even began, the attendees, comprising local editors and personalities, showed off strong fashion energy from street to chic. Hipster boys were decked in well-chosen toppers, suits with tropical prints on contrasting button-down shirts, selvedge looks done up with broad rimmed hats and footwear from espadrilles to combat boots. Confident girls in bright lipsticks went for ironic prints, short dresses and copious accessories—looks that would not be out of place at Coachella or in East London. Mix in the local penchant for wearing intense colors, the extreme heat and the tropical feeling of this 16 million-population South East Asian city and it makes for a tasty stew of inspiration and target.
As is often the case in secondary markets, the runway collections have yet to catch up to the effortless mix-and-match styles of the streets. The very well established and decades-old Greyhound showed graphic, digital prints in black-and-white and red-and-gray palettes for sleeveless dresses, pencil skirts and monochromatic suits. The Helmut Lang-esque presentation didn't move the needle but it was great to see the slightly avant-gardist line get interpreted on the streets among its mass followers.
EK Thongprasert, a brand collaboration between Thongprasert and Noon Passsama Sanpatchayapong, has been getting noticed for an inspired accessories line of dramatic rubberized necklaces. The mega neckpieces sell on Moda Operandi, Colette and Liberty, and the label has been one of the de facto cool ambassadors for Thailand. Curated by Thongerpaart, the name of their homegrown apparel line showed an inexplicable parade of '50s A-line skirts and kerchief head-cladded models on the runway, which didn't quite hold up to the directional spirit of the standout jewelry.
Asava, another brand organized to export, went for strapless junior dresses, loads of peplum and high-waisted shorts in black-and-white prints and chevron stripes, mixing coral, black and white alongside a smattering of shimmery floor-length gowns, which rounded out the looks. Senada set its presentation in a smoky cathedral with a pianist playing standards. The collection featured cool floral prints, nicely fitted pencil skirts with clever diaphanous cut outs, shimmery skirts and capelets. Kloset, meanwhile, showed houndstooth metallic fitted pants and skirts at random lengths paired with frilly chiffon blouses with a cloud print. However, the brightly colored dogs and cats that models brought down the catwalk sadly upstaged the collection.
Although the catwalk didn't show off the best of the designers' work, what gave relevance to much of what we saw was the support of the standalone stores situated on the ambitious Siam Center mall. There are more than 20 independent designer and multi-brand boutiques on the trendsetting third floor, including EK Thongerpaart, Kloset and Wonder Anotamie. We did not see Wonder Anotamie's collection on the runway, but the store represents the best on the floor at Siam Center with brilliant alien-looking printed sportswear bombers, shells and shift dresses, lazer cutouts and an impressive use of fabric treatments, which took cues from Givenchy but made the whole printed street effect their own. Chalermkiat Khatikasemlert, Wonder Anatomie is top to bottom conception—the ceiling of his Siam Center boutique is stitched together from skull cut-outs from brown paper bags. The high traffic center is ground zero for youth culture in Bangkok, and thus a hotbed for fashion inspiration.

I thought Warren said they were "Instruments of Mass Financial Destruction"? I don't understand....
Yes he did. Which reminds me of one of his buddies who famously said "Yes, we can."
wait did gold/silver stop trading for a bit earlier?I know it's not related to this fread, but what's with the perfect horizontal line on the chart?
Late in the day, there is a period where none of the exchanges upon which Kitco reports are open. And during that period, they fill in the chart with a.....line. Between the Globex close and open...as silly as that sounds. But true. Deep breaths...
oh phew!
Something to do...
Tell your buddy who's long of gold that you've got a new financial advisor whose demented. And tell your other buddy who is really not a financial advisor that your other buddy is short of gold and that he's hard of hearing so he should speak really slow and loud to him.
And have the supposed broker tell the supposed short that Obama just expropriated all the gold like FDR in the '30's.
Great fucking fun on a slow day.
Post a youtube of the results for maximum viewing pleasure.

Kitco uses Dell computers and they couldn't handle the calculations, so they just flatlined for awhile. Seriously, good question.
One word: Hypocrite.
That said, today's fraudulent paper money based financial system makes it almost impossible for large businesses to not get entangled with derivatives. The very system that Uncle Warren supports and is so fond of - the one that got him all his ill-gotten paper wealth - will be his undoing.
Warren: (on phone) "8 billion dollars!!!"
Voice: (on other end of call) "Yes, sir, that's what they're saying".
Becky: slobber, slobber
Warren: "But Moody's is a fine company with a clean balance sheet".
Voice: "Yes, sir, it is".
Becky: slobber, slobber, gulp, gulp
Warren: "Hold on a minute".
To Becky: "That's not how I like it. Fondle my nuts, too! Don't forget about them!
And shove your thumb up my ass when I give you the signal."
Warren: (back on phone) "Get Barry and Ben on the phone. Let em know I'm pissed!"
Becky: slobber, slobber, fondle, fondle
The very system that Uncle Warren supports and is so fond of - the one that got him all his ill-gotten paper wealth - will be his undoing.
Seriously. He is on the wrong side of several trades with this exposure. I'm interested to see how he dodges this... If BRKA takes a massive beating, it's proof positive that at least he believed his own BS about buying America. If, however, they come out smelling like roses....
it could not happen to a better guy...
The laws of physics don't apply to Warren. I've heard him reference essentially that he believes there is no chance that the puts will expire in the money. But essentially he has a Texas hedge on - used put premium to buy stocks. It could work out ... or not.
He's become part of the machine - not the folksy-contrarian he wants everyone to think he is. On the one hand, he's bullish on the long-term track record of Amerika, and on the other he thinks there will be a dollar and/or muni train wreck. And don't forget about the succession issue.
Yes, however look at the derivatives he holds. They are the least risk you can get. S&P500 Options. Hardly complex CDO's rated AAA but full of sub prime mortgages is it? Nor is it a bundle of naked CDS on TBTF's like BP.
What he said is taken slightly out of context. Derivatives are fine on easy to value liquid assets, but most derivatives are based on guesswork from places like Moodys!
BRKa doesnt have to post collateral. When they did these OTC trades, they made it explicit. The counterparties all have BRKa CDS positions to hedge.
Now maybe thats called cheating, hypocrisy, etc. It's definitely using your reputation to get the banks to do what you want.
Unless the Finreg act can unwrite written contracts, the Barlays article is nonsense. AFAIK, Barclays were not an original counterparty for BRKA, so maybe they don't know the structure.
You obviously didn't read FinReg subsection 12, paragraph 6, item e:
"(e) Just kidding folks."

Had to laugh when the dbag's name came up the other day at Blago's trial with 2 other well known dbags.
But Blagojevich held out hope Obama could convince "Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, George Soros and other big money Democratic donors" to endow the organization with up to $20 million.
"I want that organization up and running now," he said. "I'd stay as governor…it'd be waiting for me (after I left office)–it'd be my little platform
Warren can pound sand
his whole model is premised upon the notion that nobody should be able to hold a gun to his head.
oh please. let's all grow up. as the ramifications of the bill are sorted out over the next ten days, i'm sure -- absolutely 100% positive -- that certain "adaptations" in wording will be made to exempt any major player from anything that might constrict its current strategies to strip the middle class of everything down to its underwear.
please, grow up.
Exactamundo! Just as mark-to-market became mark-to-model to enable bank profits and fewer set asides, the collateral required for derivatives may well be just a parking of a percent of the derivatives themselves. Not much of a "secure" piece of collateral, but just you watch. Can't really be hurting the profiteers now can they?
Oh well shit, I feel better already. No ONE player alone can strip me down to my underwear.....
Gonna have to be more like Gangrape.
(Huge Sigh of Relief)
If they intend to use ANY equity as collateral we can be almost sure BRK will need to overcollateralize just to discount the volatility in the securities it would post. Even if it intends to post a cash-equity hybrid; it would still need to overcollateralize. Who the hell would agree to settle for equity/hybrid collateral with 0 allowable margin of error in the pricing. Thats right; only morons. I think you can safely add another 1B to that 8B; if not more.
FYI; FLA yesterday defaulted on 3B of "dirts"; the biggest muni default in the past 30 years; and today AZ was denied access to BAC short term funding at the same time it needs to roll over 700M in obligations. Yeah; he should really be "comfortable" holding any muni related product.
Cheeky, your FYI info is fascinating. I just tried to quickly find via a few googles but failed. Will you help? Would love more details. Thanks!
The above link is for FL "dirts" default.
This is for AZ.
I will need to post this article; since you dont hold the subscription to the site that wrote it:
DALLAS — After weathering one of the worst fiscal years in its history, Arizona starts the next one tomorrow without a short-term borrowing agreement.
In what has evolved into a political showdown, Treasurer Dean Martin is blaming Gov. Jan Brewer for allowing a $700 million line of credit agreement with Bank of America to lapse effective today. Also gone is the state's ability to issue IOUs for state services, a form of internal borrowing.
"At this point right now, the state cannot borrow funds to meet cash flow needs," Martin said. "There's only sufficient cash for two months spending. Starting in September, the state is going to have serious cash-flow problems."
Brewer, who faces Martin in the August Republican primary for governor, yesterday announced a new economic development strategy. No one from the governor's office was available by press time to comment on the short-term borrowing issue.
The Republican governor failed to attend a meeting of the State Loan Commission earlier this month that was to have extended the lending agreement.
Brewer said she did not attend because she was in another meeting on SB 1070, a controversial new statute that requires local police and sheriff's deputies to enforce immigration law.
The three-member Loan Commission includes Martin, Brewer and David Raber, director of the Department of Administration. Without Brewer, the commission could not vote on extending the agreement.
Martin wanted to end the lending agreement to force Brewer to cut spending rather than borrowing for operations.
"As a result of this meeting, I have essentially cut up the state's credit cards," Martin said. "The state will no longer be able to cover the checks the governor writes unless it has money in the bank. If she does, those checks will likely bounce."
In the 2010 fiscal year ending today, the state has issued $86.5 million of Treasurer warrant notes to cover spending at an average interest rate of 0.93% and a total interest cost of $3.5 million, Martin said. The line of credit from Bank of America provided liquidity for the warrants, he said.
To cover a $1.5 billion deficit, Arizona mortgaged state buildings for $750 million through the issuance of certificates of participation in January and issued $490 million of revenue bonds backed by state lottery revenues last month.
But Martin said the proceeds of those deals will be gone when the state provides five months of payments to the public schools in a period of 60 days.
"That blows through all the cash the state raised through selling state buildings and issuing the lottery bonds," he said.
This fiscal year was the first in Arizona's history in which the state used outside lending to cover operating costs, Martin said.
It was also the first time since the Great Depression that the state has issued warrants.
Martin said that there is now no chance that the agreement with Bank of America or internal borrowing will be renewed.
From here:
Cheeky, thank you very much! I really appreciate the information and you taking the time to post it. Sorry I was called to a conference call and am just now getting back to you.
Thanks again!
Tyler, donno if you read these comments directly, but don't know how else
to get to you. Please ask someone smarter than me to answer in a
blog how mechanically, the HVTs at GS can hold a market within .05%
for an entire day?
Deja vu.
a glitch in the matrix! oh nooooooo!
Moodys, Goldman, Railways, ReInsurers... It won't be so easy now that the interest rates can't be cut any lower... Shit hold on, my "stock goes up in the long term no matter what" father just saw me write that! "Noooo dad, don't hit me with the belt with the broken buckle again!!!! Aaarghg"... Shit, now I'm bleeding all over the keyboard here. Maybe the old man was just really smart, he knew how the politicans were gonna adopt Keynes and blow the bubble SKY-HIGH! Cudos.
Ben Nelson will clean this up for Warren or else he'll withhold his vote
The weighted average duration of his equity derivatives exposure is 11.25 years, and the new legislation offers a moratorium of 12 years. I do not see this as a coincidence.
I guess he better get busy scheduling more eBay auctions for lunch with him
Warren the "Ponzi master extraordinaire". Buy and hold, buy and hold, buy and hold.
He has had a hell of a run.
"Becky get busy my knob needs polishing".
lil fat man, wid a note book in his hand (Randy Newman)
The fun part will be when Obama comes for him by taxing his main holdings. All those lovely branded franchises that just chuck off cash. Can't wait...
On May 4th I called the end of the March 2009 bear market rally.
The proprietary indicators I use in my technical analysis can identify trend changes before they occur.
This is a positive for the derivatives dealers (JPM, GS, etc.) because once their customers are required to post collateral, the dealers can forego buying offsetting contracts to hedge. Also drives overall derivative volumes lower and might be profoundly deflationary. Judd Gregg may be onto something.
Certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. Thanks windows vps | cheap vps | cheap hosting | forex vps

Now I don't know who Sophie Marceau is or why she should be embarrassed about a clothing failure (caused by pressure, gravity, lack of friction, and no static cling) when it seems she's not shy about showing her stuff.
Honest, I don't follow pop celebrities, but Ms. Marceau stood out. It appears that she's a graceful dancer and that a lone hetero camaraman was the only one who noticed, while the rest of the coterie spoke in hushed whispers about how her left jolly was about to be shamelessly exploited on The Overnight Open Thread.

pie crust 102: all butter, really flaky pie dough
print now | return to original post
All Butter, Really Flaky Pie Dough
Makes enough dough for one double-, or two single-crust pies.
2 1/2 cups (315 grams) flour
1 tablespoon (15 grams) sugar
1 teaspoon (5 grams) table salt
2 sticks (8 ounces, 225 grams tablespoons or 1 cup) unsalted butter, very cold
Gather your ingredients: Fill a one cup liquid measuring cup with water, and drop in a few ice cubes; set it aside. In a large bowl — I like to use a very wide one, so I can get my hands in — whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar and a teaspoon of salt. Dice two sticks (8 ounces or 1 cup) of very cold unsalted butter into 1/2-inch pieces. Get out your pastry blender.
Make your mix: Sprinkle the butter cubes over the flour and begin working them in with the pastry blender, using it to scoop and redistribute the mixture as needed so all parts are worked evenly. When all of the butter pieces are the size of tiny peas — this won't take long — stop. Yes, even if it looks uneven; you'll thank me later.
Glue it together: Start by drizzling 1/2 cup (120 ml) of the ice-cold water (but not the cubes, if there are any left!) over the butter and flour mixture. Using a rubber or silicon spatula, gather the dough together. You'll probably need an additional 1/4 cup (60 ml) of cold water to bring it together, but add it a tablespoon as a time. Once you're pulling large clumps with the spatula, take it out and get your hands in there (see how that big bowl comes in handy?). Gather the disparate damp clumps together into one mound, kneading them gently together.
Pack it up: Divide the dough in half, and place each half on a large piece of plastic wrap. I like to use the sides to pull in the dough and shape it into a disk. Let the dough chill in the fridge for one hour, but preferably at least two, before rolling it out.
Do ahead: Dough will keep in the fridge for about a week, and in the freezer longer. If not using it that day, wrap it in additional layers of plastic wrap to protect it from fridge/freezer smells. To defrost your dough, move it to the fridge for one day before using it.
Next up: A wee tutorial on rolling out your dough.

I gave a talk at a local school this morning. The art teacher wanted the children to get a sense that there are artists working in the community. After a brief intro I spoke to the children about my work and they told me about a project they are working on.
One child asked me when I started painting and I told him I just never stopped. I hadn't thought too much about that before but it's true. Most of the kids in the class will stop drawing at some point and maybe one or two will continue. But for some reason most will stop doing something that comes naturally to them now. Art is a means of expression, a valuable form of communication, that will for some reason become irrelevant to them.
I'll return to the school again tomorrow and in this case I'll give some practical tuition (hopefully) in pen & ink line art.

The best way to learn about wine is by tasting and making taste memories. Sometimes it takes a Herculean mental effort to make the first connection. But once done and committed to memory, you have strengthened your wine palate.
If you have read a wine description, often printed on the bottle's label, then tasted and been left considering you may have a dead palate….Wait. Be patient. Try again and let the wine sit in your mouth a little. Open your mouth and breath in, rolling the wine around on your tongue. Repeat. If serving the wine at the right temperature, I guarantee something new will register in your brain. Grasp it! This is the essence of flexing your wine tasting muscle. That muscle is your brain.
Here is your invitation to join a group that meets just to do this. The organizer, Ms. Gilbert, puts events together with the goal of tasting wine. Although the focus may change with each meeting -- by varietal, country or region – the commitment is the same. It is to have fun while sampling wine.
Founded in July 2009, the group now has more than 900 members including men and women. Maybe one or two events every, to every other month, has about 80 – 100 average attendees. It is informal, yet organized enough to serve as a means for learning about wine and meeting like-minded friends.
Go to Denver Wine Meet Up to join and buy your ticket. Events quickly sell out.

The main objective in the co-main event at UFC Fight Night was to showcase the rejuvenated and talented Anthony Johnson in front of a nationally televised audience. At the SAP Center in San Jose, California he did just that against an aging legend, Rogerio Nogueira.
The fight was over rather quickly as Johnson unloaded a series of punches that knocked out Nogueira leaving him busted up badly on the canvas.
Johnson has two impressive victories in 2014 including a dominant unanimous decision victory over Phil Davis and now a highlight knock out over an MMA legend.
Johnson, from Dublin, Georgia, who now trains with the Blackzilians in Florida has twice collected knock out of the night awards and on Saturday, July 26, 2014 he added another post fight bonus with his destruction of Nogueira.
"I think I did alright," Johnson stated, "I knew I had to get the finish because Nogueria is so strong and never gives up.
Two fights back into the UFC, Johsnon is rededicated, reenergized and now capable of making weight as a light heavyweight. After his performance at UFC Fight night he is clearly capable of taking on any and all challengers at the light heavyweight division.
"I'm ready for any fighter at anytime. I'll even fill in for Ovince St. Preux or Ryan Bader in their fight if one of them drops off. I am not afraid of anyone in the division. "Now that he is fighting in a weight class that is not taking a physical toll on his body and with his knockout victory at UFC Fight Night the feeling might not be mutual with others in his division.

The city of Detroit is in the midst of huge changes. They are in the middle of bankruptcy with an emergency manager, they have a new mayor who is trying to bring in billions of dollars to get the D moving back in the right direction and a lot of business entrepreneurs are taking advantage of the open spaces and cheap building prices to bring jobs in where none existed before. All of these changes will begin to bring people back to the city along with better city services to address safety issues and improving schools. The question is... will a resurgence in the city of Detroit affect the Detroit music scene?
The answer lies in the space between the suburbs. Even if the city is reborn and gets back over a million residents, it's not going to help the music scene unless a mass transit system is put in place. A safe one where people can travel to attend concerts and gigs from city to suburb and back again. This metropolitan area is too widespread to be brought together as a "scene" without it. Until that happens, it's going to be the localized scenes of the west side, the east side, downriver and Detroit and never the twain shall meet. I'm sure there are exceptions to the rule but they are few and far between.
I'm not offering solutions other than that because I'm not sure there are any. It's a long hard road that we are on to recovery here and I am guessing that it will be an even longer road for musicians, venues and promoters. 2014 will hopefully breathe new life into an area that has been slowly declining and decaying for decades and we can begin that long, uphill climb towards being the metropolis we once were.
I believe that modern promotional tools like internet radio and social media go a long way towards bringing people together from different ends of the suburbs but they will never be as effective as terrestrial radio and tv, which are way too expensive for a local band to try and promote themselves on a regular basis. Flyers and stickers are still good branding tools but there is a lot of driving involved in order to hit every corner of southeastern Michigan with them.
Will Detroit turn around? Most likely. How long will it take? My guess would be 2-10 years before we see any measurable progress and our grandkids' bands will be gigging by the time we see a major turnaround from this point but at least we're starting to move forwards instead of sliding slowly backwards for 40 years. I wouldn't look for it to bring any major booms in this music "scene" any time soon, though. It's going to be a long, painstaking process so bring your patience.

Here's something you may or may not know about little boys: They love to act tough, but a lot of them are afraid of the dark. You don't want to make him feel bad (after all, it's normal for a kid to be afraid of the dark), so you find ways to give him a little nightlight without actually calling it a nightlight. We ran across this Remote Control Moon ($30) that will hang on his wall to give him a little light when he needs it.
You are not going to believe how many Night Light ideas we found for kids.
I read your blog pretty religiously and I like the items you find accompanied with your commentary but I would like to voice a complaint regarding this post. As I was scrolling down the page, I read the post for the Sigg Water Bottle and Katie, the young girl who was teased for liking Star Wars. Next, I see a picture of this pretty awesome remote controlled moon but when I read your commentary you aim your comments at little boys! Even though you're not teasing girls, you're also not encouraging their interest in space. I realize there probably aren't many children who read this blog but come on! Let's not assume anything science/space/tech-related would only be interesting to boys!
