Loewen Wood Windows
Just about 100 years ago, a family of Russian immigrants settled in Manitoba, Canada and began handcrafting useful items out of wood. After making a name for themselves by selling objects like church pews and bee-keeping equipment, the Loewens expanded their business to include wooden doors and windows, which has become their specialty today. Now Loewens competes in the new construction and window replacement markets.
Most Loewen windows start with a Douglas Fir frame, as the company has found this species of wood to be especially hardy in extremely cold climates. However, the windows they manufacture can come in a variety of wood species, sizes and designs.
Their standard series typically comes with a fir or mahogany interior frame with the customer's choice of wood- or metal-clad exterior. They offer all of the standard window designs, such as the double hung, casement, picture, bow and bay, awning, access and transom, but also make completely customized windows built to customers' specifications.
Standard Features
- All wood used in windows are specially sealed to ensure that they are water-repellent, decay-resistant and able to bond easily with paints and stains.
- All windows with metal-clad exteriors have a double-extruded aluminum cladding.
- Thicker glass than any other window manufacturer for more impact-resistance, insulation and soundproofing.
- Customers get to choose their own hardware, locks and handles, as well as the finish they'd like for each window from a color palette of options.
Series Options
- Storm Force Series - three lines of reinforced windows offer different glazing options for windows with increased impact-resistance, resistance to extreme pressures, or protection from hurricane forces.
- Cyprium Collection - an artisan line of windows with copper- and bronze-clad exteriors.
- Bella Vista Collection - totally custom line of windows made with the highest quality woods, hardware and finishes for upscale homes.

When a cardiac arrest occurs, the fact is that only half of the victims will need a shock. The other half requires CPR.
You deserve an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) that helps you all the time. And, only one AED can actually see when you are doing CPR and help you do it well. You need more than just commands, without assistance. That's not smart, and it's certainly not help.
ZOLL's AED Plus® features Real CPR Help®, a tool that is able to actually see what you are doing and provide feedback to help you do it well. Audio and visual prompts help you rescue with confidence and clarity unmatched by any other automated external defibrillator (AED).

Day 5 of my 14 day streak... and 3 months on my journey!
Wednesday, February 19, 2014
It's always about a boy. Well, not always. But a lot of times.
I dated a guy for a short period of time. It didn't work out. I thought I would be fine, but I wasn't. Every time I meet a guy I think, he could be 'the one'. And when he's not, it hurts just a little bit.
We ended it on Sunday. On Monday I spent the evening on the floor of my bedroom, feeling sorry for myself and eating a bunch of junk food I bought to make myself feel better. It didn't work. I felt horrible. I couldn't move. I kept telling myself, get up, you have work to do, it was just one guy, let it go.
So the next day, Tuesday November 19 I threw out all the crap I still had, and decided that day was as good a day as any to get back in shape.
I have been at it for 3 months! I didn't think so far ahead in the beginning, just one day at a time. But now I can say, I am so proud of myself for sticking with it as long as I did, and I truly feel that it will last this time around. I feel better, I look better, and I am learning new things about myself every day.
While I am definitely looking forward to one day meeting a great guy and sharing my life with him, this journey is about me, and learning to be the strong confident woman that I know I am meant to be. She is inside of me, and she is coming out layer by layer, pound by pound.
Thank you to everyone for all your encouragement, and you should be proud of every single one of your accomplishments, big and small.
Today was a good day, I just finished a major project at work that I've been working on for some time, and it felt really good. I did eat dinner later than usual and I was starving so I wolfed it down. But I did not overeat and I will count it as a good day.
Good night all!

Exercise does make you feel better. Positive encouragement does make you feel better! I'm so glad you are on here cause this site can really help! Your making great strides in the right direction.

Can I just tell you how excited I am to read this. Not the part where the boy turned out to be a dummy, I am sorry you went through that!
But the fact that it has been 3 months and you are still going strong. I tried to lose weight so many times in the past... but something clicked this time. It clicked that I needed to do this, and that I had to make permanent changes, and as time went on I realized this time was different. I am so excited to hear that this time is different for you, and all the progress you have made these past 3 months proves it!

PKR Indera Makhota MP Azan Ismail reveals that there was an attempt to entice him and other PKR MPs in 2010.
KUALA LUMPUR: A PKR leader claimed today that there was an attempt in 2010 to buy over several PKR MPs by a ŌĆ£respected figureŌĆØ who ŌĆ£used to hold a high station in governmentŌĆØ.
Indera Makhota MP Azan Ismail told a press conference that he was offered more than RM5 million at a meeting in a five-star hotel in Kuala Lumpur on Jan 27 that year.
But he said he had enough integrity to reject the offer.
Azan refused to divulge more details about the person and the meeting. He said he needed time to prepare a complete script of his revelation, which would possibly include visuals.
His statement today was the latest follow-up to Shah Alam MP Khalid SamadŌĆÖs so-called mini-series of videos on alleged attempts by Barisan Nasional, particularly Umno, to buy over opposition MPs.
In the past two weeks, Khalid has shown parts of a video clip that he said showed two ŌĆ£BN agentsŌĆØ attempting to strike a deal with a couple, said to be representatives of a PKR MP.
Khalid claimed that the video, shot in 2010 as well, depicted part of an attempt to buy at least 15 opposition MPs, mainly from PKR.
He claimed the agents offered an MP a sum of RM2 million as well as government contracts as inducement.
Khalid said the revelation by Azan, whom he described as a ŌĆ£star witnessŌĆØ, was separate from the happenings shown in the video.
'Dramatic expos├®'
Azan said the attempt to buy him over was done in a systematic and orderly fashion, indicating to him that the funders were from a big organisation.
ŌĆ£The amounts offered were far above the capacity of a small organisation,ŌĆØ he said.
"I believe these activities will happen again right after the 13th general election. We must take this as a lesson. We must reject such things. I ask our leaders not to be swayed and enticed."
Pressed by reporters to reveal more details, he said he was not ready but was nevertheless in possession of enough evidence to make a ŌĆ£dramaticŌĆØ expos├® soon.
"I have to put together the real sequence ŌĆō every minute and hour,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£We will put up visuals. Maybe, Insha Allah, there will be a video."
Asked why he was coming out only after more than two years, he said the need to tell everything did not arise before.
Khalid told reporters the reason for his series of expos├® was that the general election was near and the voting public needed to decide on the kind of people they would elect as leaders.

Brazil Seeks IMF Reform In Exchange For Euro Zone Aid (EWZ, RSX, EPI, FXI, EWJ)
Mitchell Hall: Brazil is wary of opening up its $350 billion in foreign exchange reserves for IMF aid until it receives a political commitment to reform that would give emerging market nations greater representation and influence over the fund's decisions.
While the IMF has around $500 billion already available, officials have estimated the fund needs more than $1 trillion to backstop the rich countries whose sovereign debt is collapsing the euro zone.
Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?
"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."
CLICK HERE to get your Free E-Book, "The Little Black Book Of Billionaires Secrets"
European officials have pledged to contribute $200 billion, leaving countries from poorer regions to come up with the remaining $300 billion or more. The IMF wants Brazil (NYSEArca:EWZ), Russia (NYSEArca:RSX), India (NYSEArca:EPI), China (NYSEArca:FXI), Japan (NYSEArca:EWJ) and oil-exporting nations to be the top contributors to the fund, according to a G-20 official.
Finance ministry officials of G-20 nations are currently meeting in Mexico to discuss the euro-zone crisis and possible solutions. The IMF has so far been unable to convince G-20 nations to make firm pledges for cash, meaning BRIC nations like Brazil have leverage for concessions.
At a G-20 meeting in France last November, Brazil agreed to investigate offering aid through a general assistance fund administered by the IMF, but refused to give direct aid to European governments or stabilization funds.
Moody's has said it may review Brazil's credit rating in the second half of 2012. The iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (NYSEArca:EWZ) traded at 64.80 Thursday, up from 54.30 in November.
The IMF's biggest contributor — the United States — has no intention of giving more aid to the IMF to help resolve Europe's current woes.

With a more uncertain future for those headed towards retirement it makes logical sense that we need to make preparing for our own retirement a priority in our lives. All indications are there will be less financial help available for us when we do eventually retire and that will most likely be later than most expect.
So considering the importance of preparing for retirement, let's look at the cost of making some common choices when dealing with debt and how much those choices can cost us in lost retirement.
This article is not designed to talk people out of credit counseling, but to help them make fully informed decision about what may be right for them knowing all the facts.
The Hidden Cost of Credit Counseling
Let's look at the hidden cost of credit counseling. A consumer credit counseling plan is generally a five year repayment plan with payments made monthly. Many debt settlement monthly payment plans are similar in length.
In this example I'm going to use the figures based on a credit counseling program but the theory applies to any repayment program that takes a period of time and delays the ability to start saving fast.
I'm not aware of any debt settlement or credit counseling program that presents this information to consumers before enrolling them in their monthly payment programs.
Let's Let the Numbers Speak
For this example I'm going to assume our 35 year old family has $30,000 in unsecured debt they are enrolling into a credit counseling program.
The monthly payment for that program would probably be about $625 per month with another $50 added on as a fee for the credit counseling agency.
Over the five year period of the program the monthly fee, if it was saved and put in a low or no interest rate emergency fund, would be $3,000.
If the family did not enroll in an extended repayment plan and instead filed bankruptcy to discharge their debts quickly, the $625 monthly payment could instead be invested towards retirement.
One such common place to invest is in mutual funds. As I write this some stock market index funds have returned over 15 percent over a ten year period of time. – Source
So if our family made payments of $625 a month for five years into their own retirement account instead of the credit counseling or debt settlement programs the fund would be worth $51,043.
It is safe to assume that retirement is going to be delayed until at least 70 for the future for such families.
If the example family was 35 when they started the five year program they would be 40 when they finished. If they did not make any more payments into their retirement fund and just let the $51,043 ride till they were 70, the fund would be worth $1,834,977. Money they could use for their retirement.
By enrolling in the credit counseling or debt settlement program our family is giving away nearly $2 million in retirement savings.
If they continued their $625 a month till age 70 the retirement account would be worth and estimated $4,019,330.
If the same family was 50 when they finished the credit counseling or debt settlement program their retirement fund would be worth $555,988. That still nothing to sneeze at.
What Does the Math Tell You?
Recently I wrote that people need to think like corporations when making financial decisions about what is right for them.
They need to carefully consider all the facts and make the decision about how to deal with their debt that is best for them.
So what do you think. Is enrolling into a monthly payment plan worth sacrificing millions in retirement?
Or when evaluated like that does a chapter 7 bankruptcy and getting back to saving quickly make more financial sense?
You can click here to find a local bankruptcy attorney and talk to them for free about your specific situation. Get the facts and then you can make an informed and educated decision if bankruptcy is right for you.
By the way, more than 70 percent of people that file for bankruptcy qualify to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy and discharge their debt in about 90 days.
Do you think that considering the impact on retirement savings changes the way people look at credit counseling or does it even matter?
Debt Repayment Calculator
This calculator demonstrates the future retirement financial loss you may experience when electing to repay your debt with an extended repayment program offered by creditors, credit counseling or debt settlement, rather than intervene on your debt with solutions like bankruptcy which terminate the debt quickly and allow you to resume saving again for retirement.
The calculator solves two problems.
Cost of Payment Plan in Retirement Dollars: This is the value of the retirement funds that you could have invested rather than repay your debt through an extended repayment program.
Future Lost Retirement Value: This is the amount you will lose in retirement from entering into a repayment plan to deal with your debt.
If you want to just see the amount lost from the payment plan, leave the "Monthly Payment After Payment Plan" box at 0.
Here is an example:
Current Age: 25
Monthly Payment: 300
Monthly Payment After Payment Plan: 0
Length of Payment Plan: 5
Rate of Return: 10
Estimated Retirement Age: 70
Cost of Payment Plan in Retirement Dollars = $23,231.12
Retirement Cost of Payment Plan = $1,247,526.55
What This All Means
If you elected to pursue some other solution, like bankruptcy, to discharge your debt quickly, you would not make monthly payments into an extended repayment plan. Those funds could instead be used to save towards retirement.
In this example, if our 25 year old debtor decided to enter into a credit counseling or debt settlement program they would repay their debt but that plan would cost them $23,231.12 in retirement funds that would be worth $1,247,526.55 when they eventually retired.
The purpose of this calculator is to not talk you out of credit counseling or debt settlement but to assist you to make a more informed decision about the future costs to you.
Current Age: Enter your current age.
Monthly Payment: Enter monthly payment of debt plan.
Monthly Payment After Payment Plan: Enter any payment you expect to make on a monthly basis into your retirement plan after you get out of debt. Leave this as 0 if you just want to see the future cost of lost retirement from a repayment plan.
Length of Payment Plan: Enter the number of years the repayment plan will take.
Rate of Return: Enter the rate of return you anticipate your retirement plan to have. Keep in mind that a good stock index mutual fund can return 10% or more.
Estimated Retirement Age Age: The age you anticipate retiring at.

Why This is Important
Government data shows 41 percent of Americans aged 55-64 have no retirement savings account.
For those in this age group who do have a retirement account, the median account balance is only $103,200. In addition, an increasing number of Americans are retiring without pensions.
The Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) finds that 44 percent of baby boomers will fall short of adequate retirement income for basic expenses and uninsured health care costs.
Women, in particular, have an increased likelihood of outliving assets due to, among other things, lower savings and lower private pension coverage. – Source

Deicide is one of the newest "Journey Into Nyx" spoilers cards revealed today April 17, 2014 on LoadingReadyRun.com. This rare white instant "Magic: The Gathering" from Wizards of the Coast's upcoming expert expansion can deal with some of the set's most anticipated and pesky permanents, the gods: Kruphix, Iroas, Keranos, Athreos, and Pharika.
Deicide - 1W
Instant (Rare)
Exile target enchantment. If the exiled card is a God card, search its controller's graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with the same name as that card and exile them, then that player shuffles his or her library.
Since its reprint in "Born of the Gods," Revoke Existence has proven itself to be a competitive card in the current standard with so many enchantments running around. Deicide provides a significant upgrade in power to its common friend, most notably being an instant. Deicide doesn't just exile gods such as Ephara, Karametra, Mogis, Xenagos and the rest though: It completely Scours them out of existence so that they're no longer any threat to you.
We can't stress just how powerful it is to be able and cast Deicide on your opponent's turn or in the middle of a combat step. It'll deal with potentially deadly situations like a Dictate of Heliod or Boon Satyr that's been flashed in.
Deicide's downside is that it won't hit artifacts as the aforementioned Revoke Existence will. You're trading off versatility for the ability to play Deicide at any time and potentially never have to deal with another Thassa, Erebos, Nylea, Purphoros, or Heliod again.
If you're playing white, then you're going to want to pick up a few copies of Deicide - even if it's just for your sideboard.
How will you use Deicide?

Most cats like to stay in familiar surroundings, though they can certainly become accustomed to travel if introduced at an early age. Whether it be a trip to the veterinarian, a move, or a vacation, there are times when we need to take our cats out of their home.
For car or air travel, using a cat carrier is safest. Make sure the carrier is large enough so your cat can turn around comfortably. There are hard carriers like the 'pet taxi' or soft duffle-style, even collapsible models. These can be purchased at local retailers such as pet stores, Target, Menards or online, ranging in price from $10 to $30 or more. A blanket inside the carrier and a towel over the side to block sight can help reduce stress.
Feliway, a calming scent hormone, is sold as a spray and can be applied to the carrier before departure. Spray the carrier for a few days ahead of the trip, and leave it out for your cat to explore.
Many people ask about medication to sedate their cat for travel. There is no great choice for this purpose. Here are some common medications and why they are not ideal for cats.
- Diphenhydramine (Benedryl)– This antihistamine does not work well in cats. It is used for rare allergic reactions, but generally does not help with travel.
- Acepromazine– This medication is only used in animals and can only be obtained from a licensed veterinarian. It is a tranquilizer and will subdue your cat, but does not decrease anxiety. It also lowers blood pressure and should not be used in elderly or sick pets. It can be used, for example, for a cabin airplane ride, to help decrease vocalization. It should never be used in an animal traveling in the cargo of an airplane, which should be avoided anyway. In small doses, it may help with motion sickness.
- Alprazolam (Xanax)– Recently this has become the medication of choice for anxiety in dogs related to storms or fireworks. It does decrease anxiety. However, the results vary in cats. A test dose should be given prior to the day of travel to see how your cat reacts. This medication must be prescribed by your veterinarian.
- Herbal supplements– Rescue Remedy is one example of a homeopathic drop used for stress in cats. Very few scientific studies have been conducted on using supplements in cats. It is unknown at this time which herbs and at what doses can be widely recommended to decrease traveling stress in cats.
Generally, it is best to avoid medications for travel if possible. Acclimate your cat to the carrier before the trip and bring along items that smell like home. Remember to never leave a pet in a car when it is warm outside.

Cultural Confusion
A Compounding Effect
Culture would tell us pornography is a lot like Lucy's short-term memory in the movie 50 First Dates (read a summary here). It would say it does not matter if you look at pornography because, after you entertain yourself with it, you will forget what you saw and your life will not be affected. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. Just as Lucy grew to remember the man she loved despite her seeming incapacity to do so, it makes sense that pornography viewed by men and women with perfect memories that are constantly cataloging images in their minds will have an effect. Evidence supports this idea.
One experiment took a group of men and trained them to become aroused by nude women in black boots. By the end of the experiment, the group of men had been programmed to be sexually excited by the boots themselves, regardless of the women. In another study conducted by Zillman and Bryant in 1986, men and women watched one hour of pornography videos each week for six weeks. Two weeks later they were put in an unobserved situation to watch pornography. Those people who had watched the pornography the previous six weeks were found to be more likely to watch "bizarre" pornography. The conclusion drawn by the researchers is that the formation of a habit led to a "graduation" to more aggressive forms of pornography. If a few hours of pornography can have these affects on men and women, the continual influence of a pornography driven culture has even more power to affect a person's thinking.
Stretched Values
These two experiments may seem surreal, but they are not far from reality for many people. David Bennett cites changes in "community attitudes" and expanded boundaries of "normal" sexuality when looking at some of the recent changes in the pornography industry due to niche markets' working to stretch people's values and make their own place in the industry. An experiment with college students shows a similar effect as students exposed to five or more hours of explicit material seemed to redefine their definition of pornography. Over time, people seem to get used to certain types of material. They begin to need more to shock them, surprise them, or arouse them. Peggy, a 51-year-old woman, illustrates this point when she explains why she is more comfortable viewing a photo of a nude woman than a nude man saying it's "just a cultural thing. It's OK to look at women, but it's not OK to look at men." Our culture is numbing us to pornography and all of its dangers.

Desert, Democracy, and Sentencing Reform
Alice Ristroph
Seton Hall University - School of Law
Journal of Criminal Law & Criminology, Vol. 96, No. 4, p. 1293, 2006
U of Utah Legal Studies Paper No. 06-04
Exactly how much punishment an offender deserves is something of a metaphysical mystery, or so it has appeared to be in the past. A new discourse of desert seeks to close the gap between philosophical theories and everyday intuitions of deserved punishment, using the former to guide and the latter to legitimize sentencing policies that embrace desert as a limiting principle. This Article examines the operation of desert and finds that in practice, desert has proven more illimitable than limiting. Conceptions of desert are, first, elastic: they easily stretch to accommodate and approve increasingly severe sentences. Desert judgments are also opaque: they appear to be influenced in some cases by racial bias or other extralegal considerations, but such bias is cloaked by the moral authority of desert claims. A better strategy for sentencing reform would be to scrutinize desert claims in the criminal law realm in the same way that post-Rawlsian discussions of distributive justice have scrutinized claims of deserved wealth. We will not and need not eliminate the rhetoric of desert, but we can and should treat it with greater skepticism.

Whether you like them or not, the Pentium4 processors are making some waves in the computer industry. With clock speeds closing in on the elusive 2GHz barrier, they are the current leader in overall clock speed. So what kind of motherboard would you want for one of these beasts? OnePC.net takes a look at one such board in their latest review of the DFI WT70-EC Motherboard. here's a snip:
"If you're looking for a fully-loaded motherboard with built-in 3D 6-channel audio and RAID support, the DFI WT70-EC is not for you. But if you're looking for a solid board to help you get started with the Pentium 4 platform, this board is a good choice--especially for its price!"

Park Ridge Living Center has served elders and their families since 1972. Our mission is to provide quality care, independence, and a positive living experience for patients and residents. The mission is achieved through the core values of Unity Health System: respect, quality service, empowerment, compassion, and creativity.
In 2013, Park Ridge Living Center received a five-star rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Only 10% of nursing homes in the country attain the five star rating that Park Ridge Living Center attained. Click here to read more about this prestigious designation.

Park Ridge Living Center, Wegman Family Cottages - Embracing a New Model of Care
Park Ridge Living Center opened the Wegman Family Cottages on the Unity Park Ridge Health Care Campus in Greece.
The Wegman Family Cottages embrace a new model of care for Living Center elders (residents), where they are encouraged to make their own choices, and provided a home environment in which they will live and share life's journey.
Often referred to as the Culture Change model, this is a new approach to traditional skilled nursing care. Combining our caring philosophy, home organizational structure, and inviting architecture, we have carefully removed institutionalization from the long-term care model. Each day revolves around the elder, focusing on independence, dignity, choice, and keeping decision-making as close to the elder as possible, while providing the appropriate medical and clinical services they need.
Specialized services include physical and occupational therapies, speech-language pathology, medical care, specialized dietary services, social work services, and pharmacy services. In addition, several specialty services are offered, including psychiatry, dentistry, and podiatry.
The Wegman Family Cottages are designed around the small home concept. Each of the four ranch-style cottage homes has 20 private rooms, each with a private bath. The central dining area is easily accessible with adjacent kitchen and living room areas. The kitchen is designed to encourage participation of the elders in meal planning and preparation, just like at home.
Care in the Cottages is provided by a new multi-talented worker, called a shahbaz. The shahbaz assists each elder in embracing their individual abilities. These workers are certified nursing assistants, and trained in safe food handling, cooking, home maintenance, activities, and housekeeping. They work in concert with a clinical support team of nurses, therapists, medical clinicians, and social workers who visit the home, much like the routine you would find in home health care. Nursing staff collaborates with elders and their families to provide personalized care for each elder to foster independence.
The small home model, known as Green House® homes, began in Tupelo, Mississippi. Research on this model of care has found higher satisfaction levels among elders, their family members, and staff, less decline in activities of daily living, reduced incidence of elder depression, use of fewer medications, and improved overall quality of life.

Abigail Levene
Hey! I'm now a senior, majoring in Sociology and pursuing a certificate in Global Health and Health Policy. I am also working towards completing the medical school prerequisites. As a result, I have dabbled in many academic waters at Princeton- everything from Organic Chemistry to Creative Writing. Coming to Princeton, I was (and still am!) passionate about health, but had no idea what I wanted to study. As a result, I have taken some fantastic classes across the spectrum of diverse and exciting departments that Princeton has to offer. Some of my favorites have included ENG 221/MUS 222 (From Words to Music: The Song in Modern Times), HIS 394 (History of Medicine), SOC 357 (Sociology of Technology) and PHI 394 (Morals Markets and Health).
I would have been delighted to major in a number of departments, including Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, History and English. I ended up choosing Sociology (a subject I had basically never even heard of before college) after taking SOC 205 (Sociology from E Street: Bruce Springsteen's America). Professor Duneier was phenomenal- engaging, informative and whole-heartedly dedicated to his work and students. I also love how the department provides infinite opportunities to explore the world- it is the perfect platform on which to study health along with my other interests. I was sold! For my independent work, so far I have studied identity work in injured athletes, as well as the medicalization of sports. I continued my research this summer in Park City, Utah, where I was also able to train and live at altitude with a bunch of my teammates.
Outside of the classroom, I am on the Cross Country and Track and Field teams and am a Student Peer Health Adviser. I love to cook, bake and get lost in a good piece of fiction. I would be delighted to talk to you about choosing classes, majors, being premed, balancing academics and sports, health, Harry Potter...anything!

Second Quarter 2014 PerspectiveJune 2014
Sell and Go Away—We Think Not
Since we last wrote in early March, US markets, as well as equities around the world, continued to rise. Even emerging markets no longer lagged their developed market cousins, and frontier markets bested the pack. US small-cap stocks were one of the few asset classes to fall, but this decline was a minor setback in context of the overall +299% increase since the post-recession market recovery began on March 9, 2009. Similarly, Japan slipped slightly, following a +96% rally from mid-2012 when investors sensed that Shinzo Abe would become Prime Minister and initiate policies to revive Japan from its two-decade slumber (CHART 1).
Since the beginning of this year, investors moved back toward income and perceived safety. This is not surprising given the softer economic data, which undoubtedly rested on the harsh winter weather and a smaller degree to the political and military situations in Ukraine, Russia and Syria. Investors favored large-cap value stocks, those that often offer higher dividend yields and lower valuations, over their growth counterparts, which was reflected in the respective +4.3% versus +1.7% performance of these equity categories. The stronger performance among more defensive sectors, such as telecom and energy, also echoed investors' bias toward what are perceived as lower-risk areas of the stock market (CHART 2).
Reflecting investors' relative caution, the yield on the 10-year Treasury bond declined from 2.65% at the end of February to 2.48% in May, a -18.9% drop.1 Despite responding to investors' sentiment and the lurch toward deflation in Europe, the lower Treasury yield triggered home mortgage rates to drop by -11.1% to an average rate for a 30-year fixed loan of 4.15%.2 This lower consumer cost, coupled with a relatively stable price for gasoline, which has barely budged over the past four years, add support to our sanguine outlook.
A long-time observer of the market scene commented recently, there's "nothing to fear, but nothing to fear."3 There are, of course, lots of micro and macro things that might derail the worldwide bull move in financial assets—most are daily on the front pages. Our view is that the fundamentals—the forces that influence investors to have the confidence to take on risk—are supportive of a continued bull market, particularly across equities.
Most important are the expectations for company earnings over the coming several years. Forecasts are just that, but it is the year-to-year direction—up, flat or down—that alters confidence and drives prices. Note the accelerating growth of earnings and sales across the US, Europe, Asia and among the emerging markets (CHARTS 3 & 4).
The next question, which we wrote of last time, is the value of this growth. How much are investors willing to pay for it? There are many measures, and none are conclusive, but the ratio of price-to-earnings as it relates to anticipated interest rates and inflation continues to be a useful thermometer.
Today, interest rates are indeed low, and the expectations for inflation are, at best, modest for the next two years or more. Some note that current valuations are at long-term levels, suggesting markets are 'fully' valued. But, the accelerating earnings growth forecast—particularly for US companies—challenges the overvalued argument. Forecast price-to-earnings multiples suggest equities are not trading at excessive valuations (CHART 5).
The earnings forecasts and valuation numbers rest on reasonably solid evidence of ongoing US expansion. For one, the counterintuitive impact on growth from Bush-era tax cuts and congressionally-imposed delays in spending—'sequestration'—have passed as these initiatives expired. What had equaled a drag on US GDP growth of 1.9% last year has now shrunk to 0.5%. Federal outlays, which are important stimulants to economic growth, are no longer declining and the stable outlook for government spending is now underpinning recovery (CHART 6).
While total US GDP advanced 2% in the first quarter of this year, the private economy grew 2.8% and has averaged 3.2% for the past three years.4 Strong growth in bank loans over the past several months, especially those made by smaller US banks, is evidence of the likely sustained growth ahead. It is small banks who finance small businesses which are the engine of employment. Indeed, total payroll employment is expected to surpass the 2007 peak of 138.4 million job holders when the May Labor Department report appears later this month.
What do these numbers mean? For one, they support our staying the course with a substantial commitment to equities across accounts, and with an emphasis on the US. We are, however, sensitive to the long-term ebb and flow of returns across equity asset classes, in this case between US and non-US developed markets.
US equities have sharply outperformed in the recovery that began in March 2009, +193% versus +137% compared to non-US developed markets; however, non-US equities bested the US by 114% in the pre-recession rally that ended in October 2007, a year before Lehman.1
The lesson is that today's US leadership will likely fade and that attractive international investment opportunities should appear. It should not surprise that we are today evaluating how attractive these opportunities are.
The emerging markets have offered attractive money-making opportunities over the past decade. Central bank initiatives to blunt the impact of essentially disappearing credit and liquidity after Lehman collapsed hugely benefitted daring emerging market investors. From the start of the worldwide equity rally on March 9, 2009 emerging markets leapt ahead of developed markets by a wide margin until April 2011 when it became accepted that fundamental economic recovery was indeed taking hold.
Since then, developed markets have steadily marched upward at twice the rate of the emerging markets. The current and significantly lower price-to-earnings ratio among the emerging markets suggests they offer value. We are intrigued, but also cautious. Investing in the emerging markets is no longer assuredly underwritten by the Fed making massive cheap credit available to all comers. If anything, the Fed is gradually stepping back, although it is still many months away from actually raising interest rates.
Fundamentals within the emerging markets once again truly matter, and the wide dispersion of country circumstances is fascinating and challenging. Brazil will highly likely descend into recession, as will likely Russia, largely because of poor self-inflicted policies. India appears resurgent. China is struggling to sustain growth, although its influence on world markets continues to expand.
A material part of our work is probing to understand the impact that China's ambitious reengineering of its economy toward consumption and away from exports and investment will have on its domestic growth, as well as on the rest of the world. The country is managing a difficult set of opposing issues: maintaining enough growth to satisfy its peoples' rising expectations, while deflating a credit bubble created to sustain the economy in the immediate aftermath of the recession. If these are not enough, the new leadership is also trying to root out endemic corruption and clean up massive pollution that are not only headwinds to growth but also undermine the Party's legitimacy to govern.
The result could be slower growth, and probably materially less than the official 7% target. Indeed, The Wall Street Journal reported that Premier Xi Jinping suggested this target would be missed, preparing the way for a weaker report later this year.5 The fact that rail freight traffic is now shrinking at a 3.3% annual rate, a big change from the average 4.3% annual growth over the past five years, adds credence to the leader's lament. One global impact may be continued weakness among industrial commodities bolstering the benign outlook for inflation. The import price for iron ore arriving in China, for instance, is off -35% from its August 2013 high
After so much market and fundamental progress, should we just sell and go away? We think not. The fundamentals are sound and improving. US auto sales as of May 14 are at a post-recession 16.7 million unit high, bolstered by GM's +12.6% sales increase over last year. We do anticipate more volatility in the coming months and shaky, uncertain moments when confidence is challenged. The "Sell in May" fable may at times seem true, although the long-term record shows it is not.
What worries us more is the complacency and accepted consensus that central bankers will always do 'whatever it takes' to underpin markets whenever trouble appears. Gillian Tett reminds us in a May 30 Financial Times comment, "Market tranquility tends to sow the seeds of its own demise, and the longer the calm, the worse the eventual whiplash."6
- We continue to overweight equities, favoring developed over developing markets.
- US equities are no longer inexpensive; however, they continue to be supported by strong economic fundamentals and earnings.
- Our exposure to developed markets outside of the US remains slightly underweight; however, several key markets appear to be improving.
- We remain underweight emerging markets. Attractive valuations do not exclusively present a compelling case as earnings growth remains weak and we believe political and other uncertainties will impact the asset class in the near term.
- Our fixed income allocation remains underweight due to diminished return potential; however, we continue to view fixed income as necessary within a multi-asset class portfolio to help mitigate volatility.
- While overall municipal bond valuations are high, we are carefully selecting issues that appear attractive in context of the higher tax environment.
- We are recommending that portfolios remain fully invested, with cash positions no more than 5%.

I tried installing ubuntu server alongside my windows 7 from a usb drive. After the partitioner level, the installation gives this: warning: file:///cmrom/pool/main/c/coreutils/coreutils_8.5-1ubuntu6_amd64.deb was corrupted. Should I download another server file? Or is there another way to solve this problem? Thanks in advance
First, I would check the MD5SUM of the .iso you downloaded, to make sure that isn't corrupted. Here is a link to a tool to check the MD5SUM on Windows: http://www.georgejopling.co.uk/md5check/md5check.html and here is a link to the MD5SUMs of the current .iso's to compare against: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/MD5SUMS. If the MD5SUMs don't match, redownload your iso, because that is the problem.
If everything looks gravy, I'd just try and recreate the flash drive installer.
Since the warning says that the coreutils package was corrupted, you should probably download a new iso image of Ubuntu. But one thing that you should try before downloading a new iso image, is to check the checksum of the file you have with ou now, to ensure that it is not corrupted-
Assuming that you are using ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso

CHENEY, Wash. --- Bulldogs' senior Morgan Castain scored the golden goal in the second overtime period to secure a 3-2 win for the Fresno State soccer team over Eastern Washington on Sunday afternoon.
"We started off really brightly, and then Eastern Washington worked its way back into the game," said Fresno State head coach Brian Zwaschka. "We stopped taking the initiative and unfortunately paid the price and had to come back from behind. But we are really really pleased obviously that we refocused and did a great job executing and turning the match back around one goal at a time."
The 'Dogs didn't waste much time getting on the scoreboard, scoring in just the 12th minute of play. Castain hit a left footed shot into upper left corner from the right side of box for her first goal of the game to gain an early 1-0 lead over the Eagles.
Eastern Washington returned the favor in the 39th minute with a goal from Alisha Stott to tie the game at 1-1 going into half. The Eagles were the first to strike in the second half with an open net goal from Cassie Black in the 63rd minute, putting them ahead 2-1.
Fresno State's Shonice Myers struck again for the 'Dogs with a header off a free kick from Ariana Holmes to tie the game up at 2-2 in the 76th minute.
At the conclusion of regulation the game was still knotted up at 2-2. The first 10 minute overtime period ended with a score of 2-2. The Bulldogs found the back of the net in the first minute of the second overtime period. Castain scored her second goal of the day with an assist from Holmes to get a 3-2 win over Eastern Washington.
"We felt that we were really strong in overtime and put together some really positive play," said Zwaschka. "It took a set piece with some clever play from Castain inside the box to roll her defender and make the softest touch around the goalkeeper. It was a really clever play, I'm really proud of her."
After getting a pair of weekend wins, the 'Dogs (2-3) continue their three game road stand at UC Riverside (1-3-1) this Friday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m. Fresno State then returns home on Sunday, Sept. 15 at 1 p.m., to host Cal State Northridge (1-4) in Bulldog Stadium.

Those recommendations came in a filing Friday to the state Public Service Board, which is deciding whether to grant the plant a certificate of public good. The plant is scheduled to close next year. In its filing, plant owner Entergy Corp. said the plant "provides substantial economic benefits to the state and will continue to provide them until it ceases operating.''

Passionate pianist and songwriter Ben Folds hasn't graced us with an album since 2005's Songs for Silverman, but today's return, Way to Normal, ($10) proves that good things come to those who wait..and wait. As packed with thought-provoking lyrics and sweeping piano solos as previous works, this album also shows off Folds' daring, with several explicit tunes and surprising add-ins (a full choir, for example). Stand out tracks include "Cologne" and "You Don't Know Me" (with Regina Spektor.)

Social security in religious networks. Anthropological perspectives on new risks and ambivalences. Edited by: Thelen, T; Leutloff-Grandits, C; Peleikis, A (2009). New York : Berghahn.
Full text not available from this repository.
During the last decades The world has been facing tremendous political transformations and new risks: epidemics such as HIV/Aids have had destabilizing effect on the caretaking role of kin; in post-socialist countries political reforms have made unemployment a new source of
insecurity. Furthermore, the state's withdrawal from providing social security is taking place throughout the world. One response to these developments has been increased migration, which poses further challenges to kinship-based social support systems. This innovative
volume focuses on the ambiguous role of religious networks in social security and traces theinterrelatedness of religious networks and state and family support systems. Particularly timely, it describes these challenges as well as social security arrangements in the context of globalization and migration. The wide range of case studies from various parts of the world that examine various religious groups offers an important comparative contribution to the understanding of religious networks as providers of social security.

Game of the Day: SAFC 4 WBA 0
by Ashley Houghton
Cisse, Reid and Jones score in home win.
Sunderland 4 West Bromwich Albion 0
13th December 2008
Kenwyne Jones scored twice as Sunderland won their first game since caretaker-manager Ricky Sbragia took over from Roy Keane.
Jones' double as well as goals from Andy Reid and Djibril Cisse moved the Black Cats out of the relegation zone in place of rivals Newcastle United.
A timid start from both sides was expected as a win was a must for both teams' survival ambitions.
Sunderland got the break they needed in the 22nd minute when Reid switched from his station on the left flank over to the right and crossed invitingly for Jones to ghost away from Gianni Zuiverloon and power a diving header beyond Scott Carson.
The hosts' advantage was doubled two minutes later; Carson reacted superbly to repel Cisse's drive from the right and then again after a close-range follow-up by Reid, but Jones was able to waltz in unmarked and prod into an empty goal.
The Black Cats got their third on 39 minutes; Jones flicked the ball through Paul Robinson's legs into the path of Steed Malbranque, who floated a delightful ball from the right for an on-rushing Reid to head across goal and into Carson's net.
Baggies boss Tony Mowbray attempted to shake things up at half-time by introducing Roman Bednar and Do-Heon Kim in place of Chris Brunt and James Morrison.
But within a minute of coming on, Bednar handled amidst a penalty-area scrap and Cisse laced his spot-kick straight down the middle for 4-0.
Sunderland: Fulop, Bardsley, Ferdinand, Nosworthy, Collins, Malbranque (Edwards, 59), Tainio, Richardson, Reid (Leadbitter, 79), Cisse, Jones.
Subs not Used: Colgan, Diouf, Miller, Murphy, Yorke.

Jessica and Steve H. decided to adopt a dog instead of going to a breeder. They just wanted to save an animal. They thought about a Lab, but were not picky about breed. Jessica had a soft spot for animals needing help. The first shelter with about 200 dogs made them sad since although lots of the dogs lunged at the door to say 'Hi,' others would not even try to impress you so you would pick them. It made Jessica cry as she thought about those animals that had given up.
No matter how hard shelter's try and how much you use your discretion as to where you find that new pet, there are bound to be a few problems. It would be lying to say that any new pet could be trouble free. You should prepare yourself for the fact that your new family member comes with some built in' baggage' such as training problems.
Owners, Jessica and Steve H. brought home their first rescue pet from a Florida shelter. They were checking out a shelter that advertised a Golden retriever mix. They found it and decided to cross the street to another shelter to see what they had before making a choice. At that shelter, she was handed this darling 6 week old baby, who in fact was a Golden retriever mix. The shelter told her this puppy was too young to be away from her mother. Jessica and Steve did not want to let them put her back in her cage. That was the dog chosen; the beginning of a new family member named Dakota.
The first and unexpected problem was when they got her home they realized she had fleas. Though this was their first time taking care of an animal and they felt a bit scared and unsure, their experience was a good one. Potty and command training happened quickly. They used the method of kennel training and that was only necessary for about a month.
Jessica and Steve decided some time later to adopt another dog. It came from a shelter in Alaska where this military couple was stationed. This one was 11 weeks old. It was an Alaskan Husky mix. They named her Nahla. She had never even been started on potty training. It actually took about a year to train her since she would do well for months, but then relapse.
Another problem was this dog wolfed down her food, being very protective of it. She would worry Dakota would get it. This dog even showed aggression when you removed her food and Steve and Jessica knew that problem had to be resolved.
Jessica and Steve think it was all worth it and are glad they got a rescue dog instead of using a breeder. Jessica wondered if rescue dogs were more thankful and that may be so since often they have had bad experiences with humans and have not always received kind treatment at their hands.
Jessica says," Now we have two very well- mannered dogs. They are so enjoyable. They each have their own personalities and likes. They both listen to commands so I feel we are the alphas."

Steve Austin refused to rule out possibly working a match at Wrestlemania XXX next year in a new interview with Dave Lagreca and Doug Mortman on the "Busted Open" radio show. Below is a lengthy excerpt the show sent out:
If he's healthy enough to work:
"Oh I'm healthy enough. My knees coming around just fine, it's better than it's ever been because I've been doing my do diligence on my rehab. I've got two new ligaments. Everything else is pain free. I'm still in shape been working out harder than I've ever worked out. But here's the deal. When you're gonna try to commit to do a Wrestlemania 30, you're looking really at, at least a two to three month commitment, if not four. So you know you're talking about, taking everything else of the table. I can still do my podcast but take everything else off the table and focus specifically on that task. To do it the way I would do it, to do it the way Stone Cold Steve Austin would do it, at a 120 percent. Because to go out there and to try to perform at 85-90 percent because you didn't prep enough. That would be bogus, that would be BS that would be letting the crowd down. And that would be representing the Stone Cold Steve Austin that I know and love to a degree that is not acceptable. So once you throw a legitimate, real deal offer down on the table and say let's talk, then we'll talk. But until then, conjecture."
If he's up for the challenge:
"Well if I'm gonna agree to the challenge, accept it and go into it because I want to and the business makes sense, then absolutely."
If CM Punk vs. Steve Austin could be an all-time great match:
"Oh it definitely could. It brings a lot to the table from a verbal standpoint with his well thought out promos, the way in which he conducts his business. I like his product in the ring. I like to see him turn it up more in the mainstream. I like to see a little more physicality, laying in stuff a little more. I like to see him be a little bit more aggressive. That's just off the top of my head. Other than that, I like everything about the cat."
How big it would be if he actually worked Wrestlemania XXX in New Orleans:
"Well I'm not going to put the cart in front of the horse. I'm not lobbying for a match. If the starts lined up, then it would happen, but it's going to take a lot for those stars to line up. No sense in beating a dead horse. To think about it is one thing, to actually go out, come to terms and go through the business prep and actually accomplish a match, it's a whole different ballgame and a major process."

I have uploaded the next batch of music to rapidshare- the link appears in this post but also on the left hand side (path!) of this blog.
The three tracks it contains are my first foray into truly occult music- having no other purpose except as ritual tracks, beginning with the first track- "Invocation of Lilith" deliberately recorded on Samhain of 2012. While I realize many folks would just download these off of Youtube with snipmp3 or a similar service, some folks prefer to have it bundled together in an archive hosted on a sharing site, so here it is.

Senior Peter Condon works on his short game on The Fairways Golf Course during practice.
The Cheney boys' golf team has been busy on the links, as they get ready for the remainder of the season.
Bob Hilzendeger, who is in his second year as head coach, said the season is "going well." After losing seniors Nick Hilzendeger and Tyler Maurer to graduation, several players have been practicing in hopes of moving up the ranks.
"They're a pretty young and inexperienced team so far," Hilzendeger said. "But, I'm seeing players coming around and improving quickly."
One player who Hilzendeger expects to do well this season is senior Peter Condon. Hilzendeger thinks Condon, who is in hi...

Doctor Faustus
by Christopher Marlowe
Doctor Faustus Wisdom and Knowledge Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Act.Scene.Line)
Quote #7
He that is grounded in astrology,
Enriched with tongues, well seen in minerals,
Hath all the principles magic doth require.
Then doubt not, Faustus, but to be renowned
And more frequented for this mystery
Than heretofore the Delphian oracle. (1.1.131-136)
Faustus's friend tells him he's already well suited to learn magic because of his education in astrology, languages, and alchemy. Now isn't that convenient? Hmm… maybe Faustus was predestined for magic ages ago…
Quote #8
So now, Faustus, ask me what thou wilt.
First I will question with thee about hell.
Tell me, where is the place that men call hell?
I think hell's a fable.
Ay, think so still, till experience change thy mind. (2.1.109-111, 122-123)
One of the perks of Faustus's bargain with Lucifer is that he can ask Mephistopheles whatever he wants, and ol' Meph will have to deliver the scoop. And what does Faustus want to know about? Hell, of course. No doubt, he's hoping to learn that hell's a fable (understandable), but Mephistopheles just tells Faustus to wait for the wisdom of experience. In other words, time will tell. Faustus, though, with years of book learning behind him isn't used to waiting around for the wisdom of experience. He'd rather just use the Internet.
Quote #9
I am resolved, Faustus shall not repent.
Come, Mephistopheles, let us dispute again
And reason of divine astrology.
Speak; are there many spheres above the moon?
Are all celestial bodies but one globe,
As is the substance of this centric earth? (2.3.30-35)
While Faustus hems and haws, wondering if he should regret his decision to make a deal with Lucifer, it's Mephistopheles that helps convince him he made the right call, because Mephistopheles promises that Dr. F will gain a ton of knowledge as a result of handing over his soul. In a way, this means that knowledge has become a kind of idol for Faustus—something that has taken the place of God for him.
