1. Introduction
[2] Mineral aerosol (dust) is considered to play an important role in Earth's climate system through its direct and indirect radiative effects [Sokolik and Toon, 1996; Myhre and Stordal, 2001; Ramanathan et al., 2001]. However, there are still large uncertainties in the optical properties (asymmetry parameter, single scattering albedo, and optical thickness) of dust and thus also in its direct radiative effects. The uncertainties in estimating the direct radiative effects are due to our inability to determine accurately the sizes, shapes, concentrations, composition, and spatial distributions of dust particles, as well as difficulties in modeling their single-scattering properties accurately. In addition, the radiative effects depend on the external conditions such as the solar zenith angle and surface albedo.
[3] Mineral dust aerosols primarily originate from deserts and semiarid regions, and they can be transported by wind far away from the source areas [Middleton et al., 2001, and references therein]. Dust particles do not have any preferential shape, but they are exclusively irregular and can also be inhomogeneous. Modeling results together with remote sensing and laboratory measurements have revealed that light scattering by dust particles differs significantly from that based on spherical model particles [Volten et al., 2001; Dubovik et al., 2002; Kalashnikova et al., 2005; Kahnert and Nousiainen, 2006; Nousiainen, 2009; Merikallio et al., 2011]. In addition, Kahnert et al. [2007] concluded that the use of spherical model particles can introduce substantial errors to modeled radiative effects of dust. However, in radiative transfer simulations and remote sensing applications these particles are still often described as spheres. On the basis of a number of studies [Mishchenko et al., 1997; Nousiainen and Vermeulen, 2003; Kahnert and Kylling, 2004; Nousiainen et al., 2006; Dubovik et al., 2006; Merikallio et al., 2011] model particles as simple as spheroids can reproduce the optical properties of dust-like aerosols significantly better than spheres. Spheroids are a simple model shape whose geometry is characterized by the size and aspect ratio, thus introducing only one additional parameter as compared to homogeneous spheres. In addition, whenever nonspherical model particles are used, the measure of size (size equivalence) needs to be established. The modeling of direct radiative effects of dust by using spheroids has been investigated byKahnert et al. [2005] and Otto et al. [2011]. For example, Otto et al. [2011] studied the importance of realistic size equivalence and shape of spheroidal Saharan dust particles on optical properties and further on radiative effect of dust during one campaign day in Morocco. Kahnert et al. [2005]compared modeled net radiative fluxes of feldspar aerosols (at one wavelength) based on laboratory-measured phase functions to those based on spherical and spheroidal model particles. They found that the use of spheroids caused considerably smaller errors than the use of spheres.Merikallio et al. [2011]showed that a shape distribution that gives more weight to the aspect ratios that deviate strongly from spheres describes the laboratory measured single-scattering properties of dust better than the often used equiprobable shape distribution. Especially, the asymmetry parameter of dust can be described better with this kind of distribution than with the often used equiprobable distribution of spheroids [Merikallio et al., 2011]. Such a shape distribution would be useful for investigating the radiative effect of dust.
[4] In this study, we investigate how much the choice of a size equivalence and shape distribution of spheroids may impact the radiative effects of dust. To this end, we compare radiative transfer simulations based on optical properties of spheres and shape distributions of spheroidal dust particles. Two different shape distributions of spheroids are considered: the equiprobable and the one suggested by Merikallio et al. [2011]. Broadband shortwave radiative transfer simulations are used to investigate how the radiative effects differ for spherical and spheroidal dust particles. In the simulations, the properties of dust (size distribution and optical thickness) and external conditions such as the solar zenith angle and surface albedo have been varied. The spheres and spheroids are compared by conserving either the mass or by modifying the number concentration so that the optical thickness of the dust cloud is conserved at one wavelength. The optical properties of dust are obtained from a database by Dubovik et al. [2006]. The database contains precomputed single scattering properties of polydisperse randomly oriented homogeneous spheroids that have been computed using the numerically exact T matrix method for small particles [Mishchenko and Travis, 1994], and a modified geometric optics approximation for large size parameters [Yang and Liou, 1996]. We note that the latter method is not exact and may thus introduce some error. However, according to Yang et al. [2007], the asymmetry parameters it provides agree well with those obtained from an exact method. Thus, especially considering that only relatively small portion of total extinction cross section is based on this approximate method, the overall accuracy of the database should be well suited for the present study.
[5] The paper is organized as follows. In section 2, the size-shape distributions used are briefly described.Section 3presents an overview of how the optical properties (the asymmetry parameter, single-scattering albedo, and optical thickness) of the size-shape distributions are obtained from the database. The radiative transfer model is introduced insection 4. The modeled atmospheric absorption and the shortwave fluxes, as well as their sensitivity to the assumed size-shape distribution of dust, are illustrated insection 5, followed by the conclusions in section 6.

As demonstrated by Swift a few years ago, the US don't need the UK for that... they can just twist the arm of any company having operations in the US directly.
The dependency tree for full passporting is simple: being a member of the EU. This was known before the vote, in fact several banks had to deposit in front of a parliamentary commission on the possible effects of Brexit. It was dismissed by the Brexit camp as being part of "project fear".
Switzerland, for example, doesn't have the ability to fully passport its financial services to the EU, it has 120-something bilateral agreements for some services. Those agreements have to be renegotiated every time there is a change happening in the market. So in practice, Swiss banks passport their services through their operations in London, which is no longer going to be an option once the UK leaves.
The absolute best case for the UK, will mean that they have to apply all EU regulations without having a say in their writing, any veto right, any negotiation right, while having to pay the full fees without any discount. One of the regulations that the UK isn't currently applying, through it's special snowflake status, is the limit on the bonus of financial services employees.
And that still won't allow full passporting, as the individual financial regulators in the EU will need to sanction the service passporting under the "equivalent regulation" provision. Full passporting means you just need to tell your own financial regulator that you are going to passport your services across the entire EU. I can totally see that set of concessions as satisfying both the Brexit voters and the financial services industry in the UK.
The banks won't fully leave, however they are going to either relocate a massive part of their UK operations to the continent or fire a massive part of their UK workforce. The UK population is roughly 65 million people, the EU population without the UK is roughly 440 million people. You don't need as many people in the "UK outside EU" operations to manage less than 13% of the "UK inside EU" potential clientele.
With the UK as a EU member, banks could "passport" their UK banking license to the rest of Europe. Once the UK is out, the "passport" option is no longer on the table so they will legally have to either apply for a banking license inside the EU, which means setting up full operations on mainland Europe (data centers, accounting, fund management, funds,
Bzzzt, wrong on both counts. Let me address them separately
EU committee members are appointed by the EU parliament.
The government of each member country proposes one member for the European Commission (usually someone who can no longer be elected in his own country either due to term limits or scandals). The European Council, which is made of the head of states for all EU member states, proposes one of the 28 to act as the president of the European Commission then the European Parliament gets to vote on his nomination. Once he is elected, the other 27 are appointed as commissioners and the European Parliament gets to vote once more to accept or reject the entire European Commission.
The European Commission sort of wields the ultimate power in the EU... the European Parliament can vote against its proposals, but the European Commission can either just send it back to vote until the European Parliament caves in or make it ride an unrelated package in a sub-committee to make it pass unnoticed.
The EU parliament is not elected, directly or indirectly, by the people of the UK.

You mean "just like nuclear energy was in Germany, with costs of at least 20 billion Euros still coming just for shutting down the plants, and unknown costs for long term storage of the waste.
No, I meant exactly what I wrote... how is an added 22.2% "Renewable energy surcharge" on all electricity used by residential consumers, used to ensure a minimal price for the renewable energy producers, not a subsidy? The total of the eco-related surcharges and taxes is roughly one third of the final price.
The consumer price of electricity in Germany is split as follows:
The consumer pays through higher taxation. Nuclear is heavily subsidised in France isn't it. In fact the sector is almost wholly owned by the government.
Nuclear is indeed subsidized in France, just like renewable energy is in Germany through artificially high costs for residential consumers (added tax). The German city where I lived for 10 years until last month has 99.99% of its energy supply (and the supply of its county) coming from dams that have been operating for decades and had been paid through a mix of city taxes and citizen investments. Yet, we were also paying the extra tax to encourage the switch to renewable energy, which was then used to put solar panels and windmills that didn't even register as a blip in the energy mix of the city. Probably because the now privatized operator wasn't using those to supply the city, but selling the energy somewhere else. In France, I'm getting my electricity through a local supplier using biomass... I'm paying less than half of German prices at peak time, but slightly more than half of German prices off peak time.
For taxation, it depends in which tax bracket you are... for a single person:
German tax rates:
French tax rates:
Germany taxes are lower if you earn between 26 791 and 52 153 a year, it is unfortunate for most of my ex neighborhood that they were mostly in the bracket where Germany is more expensive, below 26791 a year. Most of my new neighborhood is in the same bracket and pay less taxes. In my tax bracket, there is a less than 1% difference in the effective tax rate (in favor of Germany) but that is still below what I save through utilities, services, price of real estate and interest rates on the house credit. It's also a theoretical saving as I am paying my income tax in Luxembourg where my effective tax rate is a whole 11% lower than what it would theoretically be in Germany (theoretically, because my gross salary would also be lower in Germany).
Another big difference in taxation between the two country is property taxes, I'm paying roughly the same amount of property taxes in France as I was paying in Germany. My property in France is way bigger than the one I had in Germany. In France, the property tax includes things like garbage disposal, water treatment and TV tax. Garbage disposal and water treatment have been privatized in Germany, so you have to pay extra money on top of the property tax. As I lived in the suburbs of the city in Germany, I wasn't actually getting any of the services I was supposed to receive through my property taxes (library, maintained roads,
I was paying a pet tax in Germany, which doesn't exist in France, and gets very expensive if you have more than 1 dog. I'm getting far better network connectivity options in France even tho I moved to the middle of the sticks and I lived in the suburbs of a decent sized city in Germany. Road tax in Germany is to be paid every year, it is a once-off in France when you register the vehicle. As a trade-off, in France, I would have to pay to use toll roads (highways I use maybe once or twice a year). The car road-worthiness check in France is half the price of the same check in Germany.
All in all, France is a cheaper option for me.
Price fixing. When a law says "shall not charge more than xx/unit", the suppliers turn to the customers and say "we'd love to charge you less, but the law states we have got to charge you xx/unit".
Switching from the historical local supplier (actually RWE using the name of the old city-run supplier) to a 100% renewable start-up saved me a bit of money in the first year as there was a special offer to switch. Then it was just 10% cheaper than the old supplier. I have now just moved to France, using locally generated renewable, and my monthly electricity bill has already been halved.
On the other hand, Germany handled the solar panel (both PV and hot water) subsidies better than France... France gives you a tax credit if, and only if, the panels are installed by certified suppliers. Said suppliers then bumped their prices up by the amount of the tax credit.
At half the consumer cost of Germany, too... even if you pick a supplier that's using 100% renewable. I just relocated from Germany to France.
As long as you have fat, no!
Then why did I lose muscle mass while exercising more than usual and still having ample fat reserves? It is commonly happening during the cut phase of the bulk/cut cycle. You will lose muscle mass at a calorie deficit even if you keep lifting 5 days a week, you will predominantly lose fat but also lose muscle mass. You will also be see your lifts go down during the cut phase (either the top weight or the amount of set/reps, sometimes both). The sad reality of the cut phase is that you can only minimize the amount of muscle mass you will lose, by watching your macros (protein heavy!) and lifting heavy. The only time when you won't lose muscle mass on a cut is during maybe the first months of serious lifting, because you have so little muscle mass to start with at that point.
That does not make any sense. Muscles need energy, not steroids, that are just hormones that stimulate muscle growths.
Intake of anabolic steroids and strength-training induce an increase in muscle size by both hypertrophy and the formation of new muscle fibers.
Why are AAS so overused in the body-building scene? They allow you to increase the amount of muscle mass above what your body would normally carry/sustain at a given exercise level. It basically lets you go above what is commonly called "your genetic maximum" which is really the maximum muscle mass your body will sustain by itself at a certain muscle use level. When you plateau in all your lifts, usually after a couple of years of "serious" lifting, you are faced with a choice. Switch to maintenance at that muscle mass or turn to steroids to keep increasing your muscle mass because your body won't carry more left to its own devices.
You basically need to starve 2 weeks or more without any body fat left until the body does that.
Two weeks without body fat left means you're dead or on life support. Anything below 2% to 5% is going to seriously mess up your body.
The body is not attacking its muscles as long as it has fat to burn. However with lack of protein intake the muscle cells that die and "get eaten" are not replaced (simplified speaking), due to lack of proteins.
However people doing a diet often are tired and "exercise" less, so the body is scaling down the muscles, too. With scaled down amount of muscles the base energy consumption of the body goes down, countering the diet effect.
Actually it does once you get above a certain level of deficit... and "surviving" on 600 calories a day is way above that level of deficit. The body will even get rid of muscle without a deficit, if you simply don't use them enough. Muscle is expensive to gain and maintain, which is why people tend to go through bulk/cut phases with progressive muscle overload to maximize gains. The cut phase requires special care in the diet to minimize muscle loss and will reduce your PR in pretty much all the lifts. If you start using your muscle less, you will lose muscle mass.
Put another way, as I said in a previous thread last month... my BMI is borderline obese, with only 20% fat (checked through measurements and fat calipers). I lift 3 times a week, I run 3 times a week, I try to eat a balanced diet. Even at 0% fat with my current lean body mass, I'd be in the overweight BMI range. However that amount of lean body isn't something I'd be able to maintain for long without the extra amount fat I carry and the extra calories intake, except if I took steroids or similar. I'd need to properly check the proportions after my accidental weight loss, but a quick check with impedence (wildly inaccurate, I know, but my calipers are in a box I didn't open yet) tells me I gained a few % lean body mass and lost quite a few percent fat. In practice, if my back of the napkin calculations are correct: I lost around 1kg of lean body mass for every 2kg of fat I lost, rounded up with water loss. That was while being physically active up to 16 hours a day shifting boxes and furniture, and eating around 1000 calories (protein heavy, with carbs top-ups when feeling low on energy).
When somebody eats 300-600 calories per day and still gains weight, there is something else going on.
My fucking body burns somewhere around 1500 calories at fucking rest last time I checked!
Do you know what happens when you eat 300 to 600 calories per day? Hint, you don't gain weight. Show me a person who consistently gains weight at that level of calorie intake, under controlled conditions. The study of that one guy could possibly revolutionize physics and biology. At that calorie intake level, the body will start reclaiming unused material (muscle and fat) for energy. Heck, one reasonable sandwich (ham, an egg, salad, tomato, pickles, no cheese or sauce) is already >80% of that daily calorie target.
I accidentally dropped 14 lbs in the last 10 days as I was too busy relocating to eat correctly... I actually ate junk food during those 10 days, but probably just around 1000 calories per day in one setting.

In The Waves, Woolf does not merely drop us into the consciousness of her characters. For example, the language at the beginning of the novel describing the very first sensory experiences of each of her characters, is too complex for a new born infant. Instead, Woolf uses sophisticated language to place the reader in the same mindset as each character, and in doing so the reader comes to have direct experience of another person outside of themselves.
Every sentence in this book describes something real and true about the world. She puts voice to experience that I didn't know that I had. She communicates the very hardness of communicating and she does it beautifully. This book changed my whole life.
The Waves is definitely a challenging read, but well worth it. I believe that anyone can enjoy this book if they are willing to put in the effort. Read it -- you will thank yourself.
1. This is probably not good as an introduction to Virginia Woolf, modernism or 'stream of consciousness' writing - it may be a good idea to read "To The Lighthouse" first.....
2. If you're a genuis or an English teacher you may understand this right off, I don't know - but for the rest of us, I think that it's worth a second read, the first to feel the rhythm, and the second to actually understand the message (if that doesn't sound too ridiculous!) - otherwise it is easy to get bogged down and frustrated, as I did it the first time I read it. Every time I reread this book, I discover something new, despite the fact that spent almost a month studying it in depth....
Good luck!
I consider this to be Woolf's greatest work. Mrs. Dalloway may be a more pleasurable read and more consistently a "masterpiece", but the Waves is often so intense and beautiful that it's devastating. In fact, there are times that one is a bit overwhelmed by the surfeit of emotion, poetic words, unremitting interiority.
My Woolf pix in order: 1. Waves 2. Dalloway 3. Jacob's Room 4. A Room of One's Own 5. Orlando
I personally feel that To the Lighthouse is more of a work to be appreciated than liked--it's simply too refined. And I couldn't make it through Between the Acts--too many upper class English people sitting around a table in the country sipping tea and performing their subtle, boring manners.
Wait, I can't end on a sour note: Woolf is a bloody delight!

This is the WORST Company I have ever had to deal with. I booked an executive room back on August 15, 2012 to stay at Residences at Bayside in Miami. I spoke to Matthew of Elite back in August to confirm the reservations and he advised everything was perfect. He even gave me a direct number for him to call him when we were heading down. We checked in again in January of this year to make sure the size of the room and according to them everything was good. BUT yesterday, March 21st the day of check in, I called first thing in the morning to confirm one final time and let them know we were on the way. The number Matthew had given me was disconnected and the other number I had on them their voicemail is the only one that would pick up and NO ONE ever returned my numerous calls. Later in the day, I was informed one hour prior to check in from BOOKING.COM that Elite had called them to let them know they had overbooked and there were NO rooms available. The audacity of this company to screw people over like this is unbelievable! They were able to charge my credit card a day later after booking back in August but they could NOT help me with a room! They did not have the decency to call me back. DO NOT EVER USE THEM!!! They are a BIG SCAM!!! I will continue to file claims and report them to the Better Business Bureau. The WORST experience of my life, NO rooms in Miami Bayside area due to the Ultra Music Fesitval. We had to search and search for a room and pay double. A great weekend turned into a nightmare because of Elite.

Good, Good
I saw this when it was daily second, oh so long ago. Ah well. A classic.
I watched this over and over and over again!
The retarted starbucks staff had me rolling.
And talking nipples?!?!? very awesome idea
Even though the lips were off, it wasn't really that noticable.
The theme song was the funniest though: at a time when Kittens were gettin shot in the faaace.
In order to make a good flash ya gotta remember tree tings:
one: work hard on it
two: sprinkle a little urin on it
and tree: submitt it to newgrounds, and dance around like a german.
this really sucked
This was just a bunch of crap thrown together. It wasn't funny at all.
very funny but sound came before the mouth moved nice tho
What was with the mans nipples ? AND what with the T.V.'s talking ? I got lost!!!
Also the american laughter thing also sucked, however the sounds from other games was quite a touch, the violence (of 4) is because ye olde man croaked outside, and because his eyes popped out. I will now stop writing...as you're all proberly getting bored. But watch it, you'll see what I mean.

''You guys think this is a joke. This is not a joke." Dennis Rodman is seated at the dais in a conference room at New York's Soho Grand Hotel behind a bronze bust of himself. Next to him is a smartly dressed Irish bookmaker named Paddy Power. On Power's other side is Daniel Pinkston, a North Korea expert with the International Crisis Group, a pro-Nato think tank that focuses on war and violent conflict. Before them is a sea of reporters and cameras. Despite Rodman's admonishment, a television personality from Fox Sports wearing a shirt that says "I love dear leader" clearly thinks this is a joke. He asks the former pro basketball player if he would share the personal phone number of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un. Everyone laughs.
"I have all their personal logistics. Private phone numbers, e-mails, everything," Rodman responds. The laughter stops. This is not a joke.
Rodman is here to make "big announcements" about his recent trip to North Korea as the guest of Kim, his second in a year. And big announcements he delivers. During his seaside holiday with the Supreme Leader's family, Rodman cut a deal not only to stage a series of exhibition basketball games in North Korea with ex-NBA (National Basketball Association) stars but also to train the North Korean team for the upcoming Olympics. He even invited Kim to a New York Knicks game.
Should any one of these things actually happen, it would be a historic event. No North Korean leader has ever visited the United States. Just this past spring, Kim threatened a nuclear attack on US bases.
"I'm pretty important now, right?" Rodman asks. "Call me, Obama. I've got the inside track." He's beating his chest, but he's also kind of right. This most unserious man, who holds a celebrity-wrestling title and three Razzies (awarded in recognition of the worst the film world has to offer) alongside his five NBA-championship rings, now holds the keys to the Hermit Kingdom. This is America's guy in Pyongyang.
Rodman's first dive into international diplomacy came last autumn, when the media company Vice invited him to shoot an episode for its new HBO series. Vice reporters had visited the country in 2008 for an online series in which they exposed North Korean labour camps in Siberia. The regime wasn't thrilled, so to win them over for a second trip, Vice suggested bringing in the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team for some goodwill games. The North Koreans seemed unmoved, so the media company offered to bring a former member of the Chicago Bulls' championship squad, an idea inspired by the revelation during Vice's first trip that one of Kim Jong-il's most prized possessions had been a Michael Jordan-signed basketball presented to him by then US secretary of state Madeleine Albright.
When Vice approached him, Rodman's only recent public appearances had been the occasional headline for getting thrown out of a restaurant for drunken obnoxiousness. During the trip, Kim Jong-il's son and successor sat next to Rodman while the Globetrotters and North Koreans played together in mixed squads. Kim chatted up Rodman at dinner after the game while guests performed karaoke. The Marshal was so smitten he invited Rodman to come back and visit.
Once home, Rodman told reporters, "Guess what, I love him," and called Kim his "friend for life". When he was then accused of tacitly supporting an oppressive regime, instead of backing off he doubled down on his one-of-a-kind relationship. He suddenly found himself the only conduit the outside world had to a rogue nuclear power.
The press surrounding the trip caught the attention of Irish online bookmaking operation Paddy Power (the name of both the company and its spokesman), which signed Rodman to promote its betting offerings on the selection of the new pope. Rodman flew to Rome, Italy. It was in Vatican Square that he first pitched his idea of a more extended "basketball diplomacy" to Power.
When news broke that Rodman would be going back to North Korea, humanitarian groups saw it as an opportunity to press for reform. An op-ed in The Seattle Times asked Rodman to advocate for the release of Kenneth Bae, an American citizen serving a 15-year sentence for "hostile acts" - he allegedly possessed footage of malnourished children. Former United Nations ambassador Bill Richardson and Google co-founder Eric Schmidt had travelled to North Korea with a letter from Bae's family, but neither was granted an audience with Rodman's friend for life. The US human-rights envoy to North Korea, Robert King, had been scheduled to visit Pyongyang just days before Rodman, but that invitation was rescinded after the US participated in military drills with South Korea. Now, the op-ed argued, it was time for the Worm (as Rodman is nicknamed) to come off the bench. Rodman tweeted that he'd read the article and agreed to help.
But seated in front of the gathered press, Rodman quickly gets defensive. "What about what we're doing over here? What about Guanamatana [ sic]?" he asks. "Why don't we go over there and check that out? Ask Obama about that.
"I'm not going there to be a politician. I'm going there to be his friend." As the questioning continues, it becomes clear that Bae didn't come up in Rodman's conversations with the Supreme Leader, and the Worm looks like an increasingly poor choice for a US emissary.
And yet at the end of the dais sits Pinkston, the North Korea expert, stone-faced and serious. When Power decided to back Rodman's exhibition games, the bookie hired the International Crisis Group to help ensure that the event was put on "in as responsible and sensible a way as possible", according to Power. Pinkston added visits to schools and sports clubs to the itinerary.
"If you're a kid and you see these stars and they play basketball with you, that is an experience that a kid will remember for the rest of his life," explains Pinkston. "It undermines the narrative that describes Americans as evil and wicked and set to invade them at a moment's notice."
Pinkston sees cultural diplomacy as essential to bringing about reform, even if the cultural diplomat is someone as strange as Dennis Rodman. And he may have a point. The US table-tennis team's 1971 visit to China - the first time Americans had visited Beijing since 1949 - is often credited with paving the way for US President Richard Nixon's trip the following year.
"Dennis is the perfect person for this. He couldn't be manipulated by the regime even if they wanted to," says Pinkston. What better challenge to the most conformist, monolithic society on the planet than a six-foot-seven cross-dressing, cursing, boozing African-American covered in tattoos and facial piercings? Besides, Pinkston argues, Rodman isn't actually a diplomat, either implicitly or officially. "Sitting down in a stately room with private citizen Hillary Clinton creates a kind of status. Sitting down with Dennis Rodman doesn't achieve that." But even if Rodman is just bro-ing out, it's not without its value.
Rodman seems to get this. "I'm not trying to go over there and rescue someone," he says. "I'm trying to open doors. And once those doors are open, maybe things will be different."
Still, the Worm can't seem to comprehend how he got himself into this situation.
"Why did Dennis Rodman have to come and break this ground?" he ponders aloud from the dais. "Why me?"

Interesting change in strategy by Gerry today - anyone able to figure out what it really means for SSW?
Mr. Market smiling.
Mky - When SSW runs through $15.72 with major volume - IMHO we will see a new 52 week high.
Finally, someone agrees with my $18 per share calcCantor Fitzgerald Upgrades Seaspan (SSW) to Buy; Substantially Raises Dividend Payout11:31 am ET 03/14/2011- StreetInsiderCantor Fitzgerald upgraded Seaspan (NYSE: SSW) from Hold to Buy. PT increased from $14 to $18. Cantor analyst says, "The increase in the dividend payout and re-entering of the newbuild market highlights the substantial cash flow generation capacity of the company, in our opinion. At current levels we suggest the stock represents a good value opportunity...We generally maintain our estimates. We now expect SSW to report 2011 and 2012 EPS of $1.51 (from $1.50) and $2.11, respectively, and 2011 and 2012 EBITDA of $411 million (from $410 million) and $529 million." For more ratings news on Seaspan click here and for the rating history of Seaspan click here. Shares of Seaspan closed at $15.41 yesterday, with a 52 week range of $9.30-$16.66.
When you look at the newbuild and cashflow projections - look for another 50% increase in 2012.
Lots of news hiding in this report and associated PR's like:Letter of intent for the next shipbuilding cycle after the current AND this little tidbit!"Seaspan's board of directors has adopted a progressive dividend policy aimed at increasing dividends in a manner that preserves its long-term financial strength and its ability to continue to expand its fleet. Mr. Wang added, "For 2011, we anticipate that we will be able to increase our annualized dividend by approximately 50 percent to $0.75 per share, starting with a $0.1875 per share dividend for the first quarter of 2011. We have distributed $6.965 per common share in cumulative dividends since our initial public offering in August 2005 and we are pleased to once again be in a position to increase our quarterly dividends for the second time in less than a year."LOLFor anybody who thought Jerry would sit still, well they were mistaken!I think this board might get noisier "REAL SOON"I just got home from being gone early morning---will be glad to hear reports of the webcall from others!JMOKutz
Yahoo says they traded 1,500 shares in the first 45 minutes-----LOL!JMOkutz

Verizon is not a sure thing, and Rogers is well integrated into the households of Canada. Unless you're Canadian, you won't understand, but Rogers deeply entrenched in the households because of their cable/internet/media. Verizon will have a very uphill battle to take Rogers customers. Even with Verizon as a competitor, Rogers is still worth north of $45.
Easy money here, if you're patient.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Luckily sold my position last week. Looks like Harper has screwed Canadian telco shareholders this weekend.

In cloud computing, trust management is more important than ever before in the use of information and communication technologies. Owing to the dynamic nature of the cloud, continuous monitoring on trust attributes is necessary to enforce service-level agreements. This study presents Cloud-Trust, an adaptive trust management model for efficiently evaluating the competence of a cloud service based on its multiple trust attributes. In Cloud-Trust, two kinds of adaptive modelling tools (rough set and induced ordered weighted averaging (IOWA) operator) are organically integrated and successfully applied to trust data mining and knowledge discovery. Using rough set to discover knowledge from trust attributes makes the model surpass the limitations of traditional models, in which weights are assigned subjectively. Moreover, Cloud-Trust uses the IOWA operator to aggregate the global trust degree based on time series, thereby enabling better real-time performance. Experimental results show that Cloud-Trust converges more rapidly and accurately than do existing approaches, thereby verifying that it can effectively take on trust measurement tasks in cloud computing.

Plant of the Month: Teasel Root
(Dipsacus sylvestris, Dipsacus follonum)
Indigenous to Europe, this hardy bi-annual has naturalized to much of North America. With its beautiful rosette of leaves and its thorny broad stem, Teasel's flower spike can reach the impressive height of 6+ feet.
Throughout the years, Teasel Root has been used for a vast number of health concerns. Topically it can be used to alleviate warts, fistulas and sores. Internally it is pain relieving, stimulating to the nervous system, anti-inflammatory, appetite promoting and assists in the removal of liver obstructions. Within the realms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Teasel Root is often used to treat traumatic injury to the joints and muscles (through tonification of the kidneys and liver blood).
Currently, Teasel Root's claim to fame is its efficacy in treating Lyme Disease. This powerful plant is incredibly helpful in reducing chronic inflammation of the muscles associated with Lyme. Another impressive feat is Teasel's ability to pull bacteria from muscle tissue and release it into the blood stream, where the immune system and anti-bacterial agents can eradicate it.

A truck crashed into a fence near the pergola at 1st and Yesler, knocking over a light pole. The light pole went through the windshield, but the driver managed to get out... and run away. There's no word if he's been found.
The covered walkway has been the scene of several crashes over the years. A semi-truck clipped the landmark earlier this year, and it even had to be rebuilt in 2001 after another semi truck crashed into it.

Wisconsin woman found living in trailer home with 300 rats
Most people shudder at the thought of living with one of these things, let alone 300 of them!
I'm not particularly creeped out by rats, but this still sounds likes hell on earth.
SEE ALSO: Humane officers find cat feces oozing out of Minnesota cat hoarder's front door
A Plover, Wisconsin woman named Darlene Flatoff has been evicted from her trailer home after she found to be living with more than 300 loose rats.
The Wausau Daily Herald provides more information:
According to health officials, Flatoff has kept more than 300 rats in her mobile home since at least March. The home doesn't have adequate sewage disposal, and there is evidence of rat feces all over the home, according to a health department inspection report. The concentration of rodents and their droppings poses a significant risk of disease.
The problem began when Flatoff, 58, began buying domesticated rats at pet stores and bringing them home, according to health officials. Over time, the rats running loose bred with wild rats and their offspring overran the property.
Officials now have no choice but to remove the woman and the rats from the home and raze it.
Just goes to show that one person's hellish nightmare can be a rat-loving, feces-comfortable person's utopia, we suppose.

The Billionaire's Touch (His Submissive, Part Two) (BDSM Erotic Romance)by Ava Claire
She barely has time to catch her breath, especially when he's near, making her heart race and her temperature rise. Still, she
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
When Leila Montgomery said yes to being billionaire Jacob Whitmore's assistant and submissive, she had no idea she was in for a whole new wardrobe worth thousands of dollars, private jets, and a first assignment in Venice, Italy.
She barely has time to catch her breath, especially when he's near, making her heart race and her temperature rise. Still, she can't help but think about his track record and wonder if he'll tire of her like all the rest.
But when an old flame of Jacob's comes back into the picture, Leila will have to face the fact that she's fallen hard for her dominating boss.
The Billionaire's Touch is part two of the His Submissive series.
Books available in the His Submissive series:
The Billionaire's Contract
The Billionaire's Touch
The Billionaire's Passion
The Billionaire's Heart
The Billionaire's Girlfriend
Excerpt from The Billionaire's Touch:
"What was this misunderstanding about, Leila?"
"N-Nothing," I mumbled, still not looking him in the eye.
He snapped his fingers. "When I talk to you I expect you to look at me. I will have your respect."
I raised my chin, shooting daggers his way. "Respect? Like you snapping at me like a dog just now? Or how about your revolving door policy?"
His jaw tightened. "Excuse me?"
"Skye told me how you change your personal assistants like underwear. I better enjoy all of this before you throw me out like trash, right?"
His cerulean eyes flashed with something that looked a lot like hurt before they hardened to sea glass. He blazed forward and I gasped as he backed me against the wall, essentially pinning me in place.
I wanted to say something smart, but my brain couldn't work with him so close to me. The heat of indignation melted and arousal quickly took its place.
His tone was harsh but I felt his lust thump from behind its Armani prison. "I don't appreciate being talked to as if I were the one in your employ."
Staring at him, feeling these powerful, damnable feelings made me want to drop to my knees and submit wholly to him, but the bullheaded part of me wouldn't let me back down.
"W-Well, I don't appreciate being treated like being in your employ is tantamount to prostitution."
The side of his mouth crept upward. "Prostitution? I never called you a prostitute, Leila."
"So all of this-" I attempted to move my hand and make a grand gesture, but his hands found my wrists and held them firmly at my side. "-almost two thousand dollars in clothing isn't because I signed your little contract and agreed to be your submissive?"
Turned on or not, I could tell I was starting to grate on his nerves as he let out an impatient sigh. "All of this is because the woman beside me shouldn't look like something out of the bargain bin."
"The bargain bin?" I said incredulously, my voice rising. "Just who do you think you're-"
"Lower your voice," he said coolly.
"You think just because I signed some document you own me? That you can just..." My words trailed off as he released my wrists and moved his hand to my hip, finding the zipper and quickly pulling it downward. I wasn't sure what was worse--that he obviously felt entitled to my body, or that I was thoroughly turned on by it.
It really didn't matter in the end because the feel of his hand on me turned all brain functioning off. There was only the desire that made my breath come in gasps as his fingers spread out inside the front of my underwear. His hands were right against the lips of me and I could've exploded on the spot.
Ohmygod he's gonna finger me right here. Right in the dressing room.

I absolutely love Jacob and Leila's story....in this one we get to really know them and their chemistry really got to shine. If you're looking for a romantic story about a dominating billionaire, look no further. The story is 12k plus words at my count...not sure what books Anon is reading, but a 12k chapter? I don't think so. 3 bucks was well worth an amazing story and I can't wait for part 3!
Just so you know this book... is only 33 pages. 2.99 on my nook color Really 33 pages... just say its a chapter
Carrying on from the first book. Leila has signed Jacob's contract and is beginning to find out about the perks! Nicely flowed from book 1. This series is definitely worth following.
Good enough for me to buy the next one
Short, but still worth the money. Couldnt put it down.
It was a good read just wish all in one book.
I enjoyed this series!
One chapter long is just not enough.

'Launch' is an idea I had to make a metaphorical equivalent to the Saturn V take-off 40 years ago. Not only is she watching a rocket ascending but she is the rocket ascending. Her shape, the stabability of her feet, strength of legs, movement into the torso and the acceleration into the movement of her gesture which then takes us into the blue beyond - all equivalents of the various stages of movement undergone by launch, but represented by something quite still.........
Attachment 1252975
In this painting I have tried to put the discoveries I've made with 'the Heads' into practice with figures and their environment. 'Summer Storms' and 'Blackbirds' did not really do this, with the former using a stage set type of simplification that avoided the issue.
Somehow I had to use the 'free form' effusions off 'The Head' paintings in a way that became more deliberately a setting, or extension of the figures into landscape. This is the first tentative result.
The whole image is built off the idea of a simple gesture....

All paintings are acrylic on gessed board.
Here is a painting that I have been planning to do for ages and finally decided to make it happen. I've used a more procedural approach for this as opposed to the technique of 'The Heads' because the drawing for it was basically a silhouette template and therefore it made sense to use my 'traditional' approach rather than the one I am developing that you see in the series of 'the heads' etc. It is also a much more complex painting and since I am still in uncharted territory with the 'heads technique' it made sense to go about this in the way you see here. I've posted the drawing for it and a half way studio shot of the painting in progress to show you what I mean.

The running woman theme is kinda consuming me at the moment. This is called 'Summer Storms' - I'm trying to push the metaphorical ideas as far as I can and strip the paintings of all unnecessary naturalism. Hence the white and red streamers are lightning, fire, electricity. The colour of the dresses becomes the changing sky, the linked arms a sort of metaphor for attractive charge, or reassurance in danger - the tree standing for blasted oak yet an endorsement of their movement. These are the obvious ones, but there are other deeper meanings that are just gut instinct.
You don't have to 'get' these metaphors, they are just things that occur to me after I have the initial imaginative insight. I then make note of them in order to keep me on track and intesify the original intuitive idea.

After the discoveries I have made with the beach volleyball paintings, particularly with regard to something Kev Ferrara pointed out concerning how my brush shapes, being in a sort of turmoil with each other, yielded the image, I have turned it toward work from my imagination.
The 'heads' are the most recent paintings so far and I have tried to formalise the empirical language of the Volleyball paintings which were derived from dialogue with photographs into a sort of 'evocative cartooning of the mind'. This is pushed most strongly in 'Head 4'.
'Cupboard Love' is a tentative use of the language in a spatial setting, but I mean to push things much further. I'm going one step at a time. In 'All on a Summer's Day' I have tended to rely on the subject alone to tell of a particular way of looking at the world. These new paintings are possibly the first signs that I might have found a way to do this through the painting language itself.

Fantastic paintings. My favourite is the first one (Head 3). Cupboard Love looks interesting too.
really nice colors & subtle midtones in your work
if I had to make any comment/crit it would be that maybe your faces/figures could benefit by being affected by light more, even though I love neutral color tones
nice work

The Asteroids Galaxy Tour: 'Lady Jesus'
Lady Jesus
Though Fruit, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour's first official LP is not scheduled to be released until May, this Danish group already has an impressive resume in the works. "Around the Bend" has been featured in an ipod touch commercial, a few tracks were on an episode of the CW show Gossip Girl, and the band's first gig was opening for Amy Winehous at Copenhagen's largest music venue.
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour has two chief members: Mette Lindberg and Lars Iversen, but it is not unusual to see this duo swell to a talented and diverse six-piece band when on stage. Lindberg's unique voice is a key component of The Asteroids Galaxy Tour. Sometimes raw and demanding and at other times smooth and suggestive, Lindberg's vocals provides ammunition for the band's feisty, retro-tinged pop songs. Funk, soul, psychedelia, and electro-pop are just a few of the flavors that help diversify Fruit. Recording Fruit with Iversen's vintage equipment also helps solidify this fun, retro sound.

The hotel was great for a girls getaway. The staff was tolerant of loud music etc. The location was excellent!! The beach is directly across the street near Starbucks for morning coffee. The hotel room was decent but we did have to request towels several times but they did bring them right away. The concierge Mickey helped us a lot in finding things to do (definitely go to Mangos- they have Magic Mike men lol!!). The hotel is in need of updates but we were not concerned because we were having such a good time. Now the bad part.
List of things wrong:
While undressing two men entered the back door and saw me in just my underwear (also happened to the bride to be-embarrassing)!!
There were dishes dropping in the back hall.
The room was freezing!!
The skin treatment was not pleasant, and the water was cold.
The chairs for our mani and pedi were kitchen chairs and our feet were in basins!!
Very loud talking the entire time!!! No luxury spa is like that, its always peaceful and serene. Just very unprofessional! We paid $330 per person. It was soooo awful!!!!!!
Other than the spa they were good to us. Appropriate for the non-family crowd.
