Jeremy Grantham: M&A Boom Poised For a 'Veritable Explosion'
Money manager Jeremy Grantham has a track record that's difficult to ignore. He predicted the Internet bubble, he saw the housing crisis and he almost perfectly timed the market bottom in early 2009. Now he's out with a bullish–very bullish–call on the M&A market.
Mr. Grantham says the recent deal frenzy, which has gained steam this year with Comcast Corp's $45 billion deal for Time Warner Cable, AbbVie $54 billion pact for Shire PLC and 21st Century Fox $80 billion offer for Time Warner, is just getting started. He predicts every type of M&A record will be broken over the next couple of years, as companies take advantage of low interest rates and a recovering economy.
"Don' tell me there are already a lot of deals," Mr. Grantham, co-founder and chief investment strategist of GMO, a Boston-based money management firm, wrote to clients on Friday. "I am talking about a veritable explosion, to levels never seen before."
He cites three reasons for his prediction: The cost of debt is currently lower than it was in 2000 or 2007, profit margins are at high levels and poised to stay there, and the economic recovery looks poised to pick up steam. Corporations are also expected to increase capital spending as they gain more confidence in the painfully slow economy, in its sixth year of the recovery cycle.
"The very disappointment in the rate of recovery thus becomes a virtue for deal making," Mr. Grantham said. "If I were a potential deal maker I would be licking my lips at an economy that seems to have enough slack to keep going for a few years."
He expects that institutions will find few attractive opportunities besides deal-making, which will act as additional fuel for the stock market to keep rallying in the months ahead.
There is "little in the way of attractive investments or yields," Mr. Grantham said. "So, the returns promised from deal making are likely to appear, relatively at least, exceptional.
"I think it is likely (better than 50/50) that all previous deal records will be broken in the next year or two," he added. "This of course will help push the market up to true bubble levels, where it will once again become very dangerous indeed."
Mr. Grantham reiterated his call that the S&P 500 will climb to at least 2250, about 14% above current levels. But then, it will all end badly. In May he predicted that the rally would continue through the 2016 presidential election before a crash ensues.
"My recent forecast of a fully-fledged bubble…remains in effect," he said.

The Emotional Pain of Being Born
There is no shame in feeling emotional pain. We all feel unbearable emotional pain in our human life at some point but we usually suffer along at a repressed ebb by avoiding, distracting and suppressing our feelings, instead of turning towards the core emotional pain of being human with strength and presence.
Regardless of whether or not we have had a difficult childhood or challenging life circumstances to heal, there is an emotional pain that we all experience when we come as souls into human bodies.
We arrive as unconditionally loving beings into a conditional world. As children we become conditioned into the emotional patterns within our family of origin. And no matter how emotionally whole our parents were, we all will feel unloved in some aspects of ourselves.
As unbounded babies and open-hearted children we absorb the unspoken emotional energies of those that we live with. We learn quickly, what we are allowed to feel and who we are allowed to be - and not to be.
We conform to our surroundings so we can belong, yet there is an inherent quotient of emotional pain that we all need to bear for being human in a world that cannot unconditionally love us in all the ways we need.
We grow up learning to love ourselves only to the level that our parents were able to see us. We reject everything else inside that could not be seen and loved. We can live our entire lives shutting down important aspects of our being because our parents could not see or accept them. Ignoring our gifts as others have in the past causes great emotional pain.
An Emotional Birth
Giving birth to my daughter 18 years ago was the first time I was willing to face and feel any kind of pain with full attentive awareness. Prior to that I was living my "conditioned life". I was being the person I was raised to be - dependent on the opinions of others, true to my family patterns, and unknown to myself. I did not know that my choice to have a natural birth would begin an emotional transformation that I could not have anticipated.
It is helpful to understand healing emotional pain through the metaphor of childbirth. Most of us would not even consider the truth that feeling our emotional pain could lead to deep joy, passion, and self-compassion. However breathing into, and labouring through our most difficult feelings with the same strength and attention needed to give birth to a human baby, can invite a new emotional and psychological birth. It is possible to breathe through the labour of our emotional pain as it contracts in excruciating pain, intensifies, peaks, and then releases. When we allow ourselves to feel emotional pain that is beyond our existing comfort zone, we expand into a new strength of confidence, and a level of compassion for life.
To deeply feel any emotional pain until the joy of "baby is born" on the other side brings us an "earned joy" rather than a "cultivated joy". Earned joy arrives when we go beyond our conditioned limits and allow ourselves to feel everything deeply with the sustained and determined presence of an open heart. When we love ourselves in this unconditional way, we trust the painful process enough to feel beyond what we have been able to withstand in the past. When we learn to love ourselves more than other people have been able to, either now or in the past, a new empowered world opens up.
Natural joy, self-confidence and personal competence arrives on the other side of feeling a suppressed emotion in the body without trying to control or change it in any way. Feelings unravel when we can sustain enough witnessing presence to be able to attend to them. Most of us try to mentally cultivate joy by pursuing or creating pleasure. But as soon as the surface excitement of the party is over, the old rejected emotions seep back into our awareness. What we are truly seeking with emotional healing is the hard-won embodied joy that comes from being sensitively willing to bear any nuance of pain - grief, anger or fear that comes up in our life, and to love it enough until it dissipates.
The poet Rumi writes:
Every midwife knows
that not until a mother's womb
softens from the pain of labour
will a way unfold
and the infant find that opening to be born.
Oh friend!
There is treasure in your heart,
it is heavy with child.
All the awakened ones,
like trusted midwives are saying,
'welcome this pain.'
It opens the dark passage of Grace.
Emotional Initiation
"The art of life is to stay wide open and be vulnerable, yet at the same time to sit with the mystery and the awe and with the unbearable pain — to just be with it all." - Ram Dass
Eighteen years ago, I wanted a conscious, natural birth. I was determined to feel every part of the process. Twelve hours later, my baby girl was born without drugs or medical intervention. Ironically right after her birth, I had to be sedated to have emergency surgery, but when I awoke from surgery, I knew I had gone through an initiation. I felt distinctly stronger and more confident than I ever had in my life.
I stayed up all night in awe of my own power, surging with the uncommon energy that I was stronger than I had previously thought. After twelve hours of sustained presence to intense pain, I knew was a more confident person than I was before my daughter's birth. Through the difficulty of labour, I went beyond myself and my prior limitations. And the more I was determined to feel as my pain intensified, the more I was able to tap into the truth there was a larger benevolent force was supporting me in my pain. And I glimpsed that my strength could be unending, if I could remain in contact with that benevolence.
I look back on the gift of my birthing experience as a turning point in my life. Through labouring through intensely jagged pain for 12 hours to birth my daughter, I crossed the threshold into understanding my own strength for the first time. After birthing my daughter my authentic creativity really began. I began to draw, paint and write honestly and spontaneously. I found my courage and passion for living and I began to stand up and speak out in my unhealthy relationships. I changed my life to better reflect my new found strength. After I tasted my own willingness to feel the hard stuff - I knew I was strong enough to live my life in more alignment with who I really was.
Leaving Old Conditioning Behind
When we are willing to feel what is intensely uncomfortable, we change profoundly. The passion, freedom, and reverence for life on the other side of a difficult feeling quite different from the careful way that we normally live our lives.
We can trust that the Larger Forces of life are collaborating with our emotional healing - even as when feel intense, and at times, unbearable pain. Life is designed to trigger our emotional pain, and when we are strong enough, we will have the opportunity to become more present to our discomfort than we had the courage to the past.
As we labor to birth our authentic emotional truth into each moment, we leave our old limiting conditioning, and the feelings that used to debilitate us behind. Then something stronger and more passionate births forward into our life.
We can focus our energy, attention, prayers and questions on each new layer of arising emotional pain. We can ask the Larger Life to give us clues, guidance and support about how to feel, heal and release our discomfort. Sometimes we may need to walk off our uncomfortable emotions. Sometimes we may need to sit and still and seethe and burn with discomfort for a time. Whatever we feel called to do when we are feeling excruciating emotions, we can also ask for the help to love ourselves enough to move into the authentic life on the other side of our conditioned emotional limits.
When we fear our own feelings, we stay afraid, passive, controlled, and unable to take strong and original action in our lives. We can instead remind ourselves that the strength of our unconditional love is always inherently stronger than our most intense emotional pain. We can choose to breathe deeply into the stuck, contracted, hurting places in our body to see how long we can withstand our discomfort before we need to stop and take a break. It is possible, with daily practice, to stay continually and unconditionally present to whatever feelings we are experiencing, without distracting or sedating away from them. It is possible to remain 100% present with each and every feeling that arises without shutting down.
The Story of Our Emotional Body
Our emotional body is formed from birth to age seven before we have the rationality to explain it. As children we unquestionably soak up the emotional imbalances of the people in our midst, and left unexamined - we take the places where our parents were not emotionally strong - on as our own. When we feel big feelings in our current life, we have the opportunity to clear out energy blockages from the past. As spiritual teacher Michael Brown explains, "All our fear, anger and grief of today are the masked experiences of our own frightened child self calling us for help."
It is natural to let our emotions pass right through us, but whatever was not accepted in the past needs loving attention from our non-judgmental presence to begin to flow spontaneously again. If we do not take the time to clear old emotional energies they accumulate and feel increasingly heavy throughout our life. As we mature, we can forget that we are unconditionally loveable, as life continuously reinforces and reminds us of our original wounds. We can forget that we are bright with potential when we get emotionally triggered in our daily life. We can shut down our light early, and go along with the silent despair of the status quo. Left unattended, our unfelt emotions can become accumulated in our bodies, layer upon layer, causing us to feel exhausted, heavy, and at times thick with depression.
Most of of us are not willing to admit how much we emotionally struggle inside and are afraid to share with others how often we feel emotionally overwhelmed. Most of us tend to react to difficult feelings through the eyes and feelings of a child part of self, and continue to re-bury our emotions in fear of rejection and judgment. Yet, if we do not process and cleanse our challenging emotions when they arise to be cleared, as the years go on, we will feel physically stiff and sore, and well on our way to chronic illness. When we hold everything inside we go through the motions of life, numb, afraid or irritated and emotionally triggered in our daily life.
Facing Pain vs. Avoiding Pain
Many of us choose to avoid our feelings as much as we possibly can. We are entrained in our world to believe that difficult feelings are "wrong" and that we should do everything we can to distract or sedate ourselves away from them. In our emotionally repressed society we habitually stuff down uncomfortable emotions down whenever they rise up to be felt and moved through, and in this way, we stay emotionally young, lacking in self-confidence and unsure if we can meet the challenges of our adult lives. We can force anything that feels unacceptable into deep storage in our heart until life feels flat, predictable and unloving.
When we live in a flat-lined, unloved state, we try to heal our emotionality through thinking and doing rather than feeling. We are not taught that to become more emotionally present means sometimes feeling intense discomfort in our bodies until the energy unblocks and we feel free and spontaneous again. Feeling each layer of stored emotion - burning off what we previously did not have the strength or presence to withstand - is the gradual process of cleansing our heart.
At key points in our life, we will feel called to feel and integrate everything we could not emotionally handle from our past, and the choice is ours. If we refuse to address the non-integrated energies from the past when they arise, we will dissociate from loving ourselves a little bit more each day. Every feeling we deny makes life feel progressively inauthentic and stops up the natural flow of our energy and our forward growth. Life ignites and triggers us to revisit the misunderstood experiences and unprocessed emotional energies that we could not digest from the past, so that we can re-open our heart to our spontaneity and authentic passion and purpose.
The Willingness to Feel Everything
"Mastering the ability of lavishing ourselves with unconditional love is one of the greatest accomplishments we can achieve in this life."
-Michael Brown
At a certain point in our psychological maturity we can become willing to feel our current emotional condition without distracting or sedating away from it. The aim being to become unconditionally present to every moment of our life, from the mundane, to the most intensely difficult, to the exquisitely beautiful, without closing our heart.
To employ such strength is the inner battle of the heroine's/hero's journey. Facing our most discomforting feelings can feel like a battle, or even a full-on war within. The parts of ourselves that wants to sedate away and control our feelings to fit into our comfort zone, wage war with the spontaneous heart that wants to feel, love and integrate everything that we are inside.
We can take responsibility for not loving ourselves unconditionally. Where we once projected the reasons for our emotional pain out onto other people in our past, we can now take full responsibility for feeling scared, hurt, empty, lacking and unfulfilled. At a certain point in our maturity, the story of what has happened in our past can be let go of, and the emotional cleansing work can begin in earnest. The opening of the heart to self-compassion and the re-parenting through compassionate presence can begin.
In the midst of our seemingly endless emotional self-torture the question always arises, "Why would I want to feel all of these terrible feelings?" The answer is: when we allow ourselves to accept and feel what we habitually suppress, something new comes forward into our character. We discover what we are really made of. We discover a strength, a poise, or a gift that was hidden within our fearful conditioning. We can confidently know that we are solidly able to love ourselves and meet our own emotional needs - in ways that others simply do not have the time, emotional energy, or interest to - and then our life starts to move again.
We discover that the strength that we have been hiding from by avoiding our difficult feelings is needed to fulfill our purpose for being here. By feeling our challenging feelings, a change that we need to make comes clear. We see where we have been habitually closing down to love, and we open to admitting to and meeting our denied emotional needs. The joy, peace, love, and inspiration on the other end of our most challenging inner states is where our old conditioning ends and our new authentic and spontaneous life begins. The more challenging and seemingly unbearable the feeling we have, the greater is the freedom and the strength of presence that lies in waiting on the other side.
When we do not make our feelings wrong, or blame the story of our life for triggering our discomfort, we simply allow ourselves to feel and allow the unexplainable aching lonely neediness, the wrenching grief, the annihilating fear, the mortifying shame, and intense anger move through us. We breathe and labour through our most difficult emotions without sedation - bare and vulnerable, wide open, emotionally naked - and as in natural childbirth, we will arrive glowing and triumphant on the other side.
Once each layer of suppressed pain is unraveled, accepted, and integrated, it is gone forever. Psychologist and spiritual teacher Chuck Spezzano writes:
"If we witness our suffering, at some point, it begins to unfold, sensation by sensation, and untangle itself. With emotional pain, if we freely give ourselves to pay attention to it, it begins to show us the issue surrounding and driving it."
"The root of the emotional charge is from the past. When we witness our suffering and don't turn away from it, it eventually takes us back to the roots where it began, and if we choose to watch it closely, even the roots will untangle."
We have everything within to heal our emotional pain and to birth our emotional resilience. There is a poignant responsibility, strength, and elegance to allowing everything we feel to pass through our bodies and have its day in our awareness. For example, crying, trembling or writhing without needing to know the reason helps put us back into the sensuality of our body and in touch with our intuitive and spontaneous nature.
When we tend to our negative feelings and lavish them with love, we can evolve into a vibrancy that feels alive, sensual, and powerfully open at any age. With determined openness to all of our feelings, we will become less afraid of expressing our truth. It no longer matters what people think of us, or how much they love or pay attention to us, because we feel radiant on the inside. When we love ourselves unconditionally, we earn our own joy and spontaneity. We feel radiant self-compassion. We make ourselves whole. This is unconditional love.

For about the last decade, a variety of entertainment, food and wares from many cultures have decorated Parkersburg City Park in June.
Since 1996, the Mid-Ohio Valley Multicultural Festival has graced the park with the culture of Eastern Europe, Asia and classic American.
The festival has been a recipient of Artsbridge funds for many years and Jane Irvine, executive director of Artsbridge, said the festival follows very closely the mission of Artsbridge.

Members of Maidens IV, a four sister Celtic and folk rock band, perform last year during the Multicultural Festival.
"It brings a really wide variety of arts activities to the Mid-Ohio Valley," she said. "It brings an opportunity not only for the public to go and see (these activities) but to bring different performers into the Mid-Ohio Valley."
Rick Rubin, president and concession manager, said there are many fun activities this year for festival goers, especially children.
"One thing that's new is we have some Korean food coming in," he said. "We've never had that before. We also have a dinosaur (skeleton), the 'alarming lizard.' It's 23 feet long and nine feet wide. We've been trying to get it to the festival for three years now. We're really excited about that."
Fact Box
If you go
What: The Mid-Ohio Valley Multicultural Festival.
When: June 20-22.
Where: Parkersburg City Park, 1920 Park Ave.
Admission: Free.
For information and detailed schedule, visit: movmcf.org.
Bea Corra, founding member, said the festival was founded with the help of Eugene Donaway after the Ku Klux Klan started appearing all over the area.
"We decided it was a proactive stance we would take," Corra said. "We formed the festival appreciative of differences; not of how differences can divide us but the appreciative of differences and how that can bring us together...We try to do the proactive thing and be a positive force in the community instead of reacting to anything negative that might happen."
Rubin said they hope to always be able to offer the festival for free.
"One thing we do pride ourselves on is it's free admission to the festival," he said. "Attendees) get to see the type of things we don't have in this area."
He said in addition to the dino skeleton, there is a children's activity center, where one event in particular has been a hit.
"For the last three to four years, we've had a drum making workshop," Rubin said. "It's something that's been successful. Usually some things won't be as popular as time goes on, but every year we keep adding more and more drum kits to the drum making seminar."
Corra said the fun thing about the festival is the variety that can be found throughout the park.
"(We have) different kinds of ethnic foods and things people would purchase for their home or clothing," she said.
She added that by taking a survey of attendees, the all-volunteer board found out what event goers wanted.
"Two years ago, we started a new area at the festival: the International Boulevard, with exhibits and educational displays from countries," Corra said. "We did a survey and one of the things people wanted was to learn about people from different countries...We ask people with different nationalities to do...posters and memorabilia, things that represent their heritage."
Corra said that the park provides a good environment for the event.
"We have almost outgrown the area, but we love the park," she said. "It's shady and makes for a relaxed, laid back feel to it. It's not an area that necessitates continual movement. People will bring a chair and sit in the shade in the park all day."
In fact, Corra said the performers, whether music or dancing, are a popular attraction.
"We offer entertainment that's family oriented," she said. "We try to bring in things people don't have the opportunity to see without going outside the area. We have high-quality performers in their particular genre."
Entertainment during the opening night of the festival includes an African theme night with Kenya Safari Acrobats.
Rubin said what makes the festival great is there's something for everybody.
"Mom can shop...kids can go the free children's activities area," he said. "It's a well-rounded festival and there's something for everybody."

Here is the second part of the piece on Vice.
We finally got some snow here in Tahoe and now it finally feels like winter. I got out and did some splitboard runs yesterday the 21st. and went to the resort today. It is great to be off the groomed runs and onto the mountain.
I just got sent this link for Powder and Rails part 1. It is a good look back. Check it out.
I got invited to judge the World Freeride contest in Revelstoke. This is a contest with riders from the North Face Masters Series and The World Freeride Series. Only 20 men riders and 10 female riders were invited to compete on a one run course that is a Heli drop. There was some great riding that went down.
Tahoe is having a slow start for snow but the resorts are open people are out getting their legs in shape. Mean while the wind events that have hit California have been kicking up the waves on Tahoe again. We got surf the West Shore with the North winds. Here are a few shots from the past surf sessions.
It is that time of the year for the wind to start driving the storms toward Tahoe creating surf. And the photos below are what happens on the front end, and snow is what happens on the back end. You can see the storm on its way over the ridge.
The first storm of the season hit Tahoe October 4 and left up to two feet of new. A nice start to the season. I had to go make a few runs. It is always nice to start the season off with some powder!
Yes, it is June 6th and winter will not go away. I went out riding with a few friends this morning. I was riding my Split Swallowtail and it was deep. It is Junuary in my book. Hope everyone has as big of powder smiles as we do. The Tahoe season rocks on. Sorry there are no photos of the board in action,(I had the only camera), but I hope these pictures give a clue of how good it is.
May 29th and it was another Powder day. I went out riding with my wife. Fun time, I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day.

Laundry Life with Whirlpool & my stay at the Real Whirled House
Because I knew you…………my (laundry) life has been changed for good.
Lets do a little recap of laundry life BD (Before Duets) and AD (After Duets) shall we?
TidyMom Laundry Life BD
- Sort Colors
- Wash colors in cold, whites in hot.
- Toss them on in on the normal cycle (washer and dryer)
- Always use large load size
Laundry problems BD
- dingy colors
- trouble getting stains out
- stinky clothes if left in washer
- wrinkly clothes out of dryer
Now that I've had my Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer for 3 months I'm amazed at all the different ways I have to tackle my laundry all at the touch of a button! and best of all……..our clothes look (and smell) better than ever!
TidyMom Laundry Life with Whirlpool Duet Washer and Dryer (AD)
- sort by colors and more importantly, by weight
- I can wash any size load! My Duet Washer will detect the load size and adjust water, detergent and other settings accordingly (helps keep colors and fabrics looking great)
- No longer doing every load on "Normal" – some of my favorite cycles: Sheets, Pillows, Bulky, Hand Wash, Sanitize, Jeans, Towels, Enhanced touch up with steam
- find out how to pre-treat my stains right from the touch screen on my Duet Washer
- Fan Fresh keeps my clothes fresh if I can't get them out of the washer right away
- no more measuring and filling detergent every load; precision dispensing does it for me!
I'll have to be honest, when I first got my machines I thought "I will NEVER use all these settings, that's just crazy"
But the day I noticed the setting for pillows……and decided to try it out with my feather pillows I was SOLD! I have never been able to wash pillows with any success, and they came out beautifully clean and fresh!
With cold and flu season upon us and in full force around our house, the sanitize setting has been getting a lot of action! It's the longest cycle in the washer, but kills 99% of bacteria! The Steam Cycle in the dryer can be used to sanitize backpacks!
The leap in technology made from my old washer and dryer to the Whirlpool Duet is amazing. I'm still somewhat shocked by all the bells and whistles and continue to make new discoveries and uses all the time!
A few months ago I was given the opportunity to get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the Whirlpool testing facilities, visit World of Whirlpool and invtied to stay at The Real Whirled House with seven other bloggers!
(left to right back back to front) Serendipty Mommy, Mommy Enterprises, Simply Being Mommy, Mom Spotted, 2 Wired 2 Tired, Me, Rockin' Mama, Momma Findings
The Whirlpool Real Whirled House is located near Lake Michigan in Benton Harbor. It has four kitchens, four laundry rooms, eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms, all equipped with the latest Whirlpool appliances! We were the first group of bloggers to experience the Whirlpool Real Whirled House. This a cutting-edge training program is normally used to house new Whirlpool employees. Groups of eight stay in the Real Whirled House for six weeks to get hands-on experience learn more about the Whirlpool appliances.
Did you know that the Whirlpool Corporation brand names include: Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Brastemp, Consul, Bauknecht, & Gladiator
I came home with an arsenal of tips, tricks, and information on laundry, cooking, and cleaning!
- The first dishwasher was developed by Josephine Cochran in 1886 and she received the top award at the World's Fair for the invention in 1893. (crazy huh?)
- Whirlpool Dishwashers use only now 3 gallons of water. (10 years ago they used 10 gallons)
- Hand washing dishes generally uses 27 gallons of water
- Pre-rinsing your dishes uses 20 gallons of water (I really need to cut down on per-rinsing)
- Whirlpool dishwashers are designed to sensors appropriate level of food particles if some dishes are per-rinsed more than others- dishes won't be as clean. (sensors will be confused)
- Clean your dishwasher filter frequently. (check the filter if your dishwasher appears to not be cleaning well)
- If you bake with dark cookie sheets or pans lower the temperature by 25 degrees to prevent burning.
- When cooking with a convection oven set the temperature 25 degrees lower
- Ever wonder why when you bake cookies you will get different results than someone else? We learned that baking cookies on different cookie sheets will give different results. We baked sugar cookies on four different cookies sheets using the same dough, in the same oven, at the same temperature, for the same length of time. We saw four different results; From one pan of burnt cookie to one pan that looked barely cooked. Recommended Doughmaker aluminum cookie pan for best results.
Laundry Tips & Garment Care
- By law the only thing that must be reported on the garment label is the fiber. (meaning they do not have to list things such as dyes, anti-wrinkle, etc.)
- It's just as important to sort clothing by weight as it is by color.
- Always pre-treat stains. Washing and drying will set a stain and be much harder to remove)
- Baby formula stains are tough to remove, due to high protein. Use a detergent with enzymes to help break down the protein.
- Run sheets/fabrics thru the rinse cycle first, before washing when cleaning up after bed wetting or other accidents.
- Only use HE detergent in HE machines. (you will void warranty if you don't)
- Using the wrong detergent in HE machine will: increase suds, which will increase residue and increase rinse time and decrease cleaning.
I had a fantastic time in the gorgeous condo! The whole experience on the Whirlpool Real Whirled trip was eye opening and exciting while we learned how to make life easier for Real World Moms!
"I wrote this review while participating in a test-drive campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Whirlpool and received a complimentary Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer to facilitate my review."

totally jealous.
that is all.
especially considering i wanted to strangle my washer yesterday…
That is my dream laundry set, I would love that.
No more smelly clothes? I need to start saving now.
I think I'm in love with your washer and dryer! And what an amazing experience you got to have! How fun!
Hope to maybe get something like this washer and dryer when we retire in a couple of years and move. Won't take the old set, we'll see what we can afford!!
A PILLOW setting!!!
Now that is FANCY! 😉
Wow. Awesome stuff. In the pictures to the right of the group picture, THAT is my dream refrigerator. And the new Duet washer and dryer is something I would love to have for myself. Those look SO much advanced over my Duet pair I own. Wow. You are so very lucky to have been chosen for this.
WOW- that is slick! Congrats!!
I'm still love my Duet washer and dryer, too. I've washed every pillow in the house, which was awesome! One trick I've learned with drying thick comforters: use the Time Dry setting for 20 minutes and when the buzzer sounds, pull out the comfort and put it back in the dryer with the wettest sections on the outside, repeat until dry. Believe it or not the comforter will dry LOTS faster that way.
Are all the controls and such on the front? Being in a wheelchair I need them that way. Oh to have them! They're awesome!
WOW that's awsome!! I never would have thought that would be my reaction to a washer and dryer.. 🙂
Looks like tons of fun! My friend and I have a laundry service from our homes and we would love a set of these. I've read alot of the reviews on these and to say I want one is an understatement! Thanks for all your reviews.
San Diego Laundry Care
Do you have a way to get mildew smell out of the duet washer? I just moved into a house that has the set but the washer smells awful. Do you have any other maintaince suggestions?

Through international meetings, task forces, and timely, insightful briefings on issues of global and regional importance, the Society's programs respond to fast-breaking events and important trends in Asia. Asia Society has further expanded its active role in preparing Asians and Americans for a shared future with new initiatives focused on critical environmental issues and through the launch of its new Center on US-China Relations. The institution also fosters a commitment to the next generation of global leaders through its Asia 21 Young Leaders program, a multi-sectoral network of emerging leaders under the age of 40. Asia 21 encourages fresh thinking on creative ways to address critical challenges while focusing on developing leadership skills and a commitment to public service among young leaders.
Asia Society's business programs offer unparalleled access to the leaders and the latest information that every business needs to succeed in Asia.

More than 1,200 government leaders, senior business executives, entrepreneurs, academics, and prominent media from across the globe gather for Asia Society's signature corporate event.

Rockefeller 3rd Collection of Asian Art, includes masterworks from South, Southeast, and East Asia, dating from 2000 B.C.E. to the 19th century, reflecting the great achievements and wide diversity of Asian arts and cultures. Each year, Asia Society Museum presents more than seven exhibitions, many that tour nationally and internationally and are accompanied by original exhibition catalogues.

In addition, the Society's museum education program includes teachers and student workshops and an annual exhibition of work by school students inspired by Asian art and culture.
Beginning in 2010, Asia Society will further expand the reach of its exhibitions with the opening of new museums in both Hong Kong and Houston.
Performing Arts and Culture
Through performances, films, author talks, and lectures by artists and cultural leaders, Asia Society explores the vital expressions of diverse Asian cultures. The Society features music, dance, and theater focusing on four interrelated areas: traditional performance genres of Asia, contemporary performance from Asia, new commissions, and works by Asian American performing artists. Asia Society also organizes national and international performance tours and features a season full of cultural programs and activities for families.
Today's students will be the citizens and leaders of the 21st Century, heirs to a world that grows smaller and more interconnected everyday. For the United States to continue to prosper, all students must have the opportunities to learn about other world regions and languages. The world will demand it of them—we need to demand it of our education system. Asia Society is a leader in this effort through its work in educational policy, educator resources, and network of school partners in creating the most innovative approaches to global education. Among its many initiatives, Asia Society's Chinese Language in the Schools program is working with partners in the public and private sector to address the disparity between our need for more Chinese language programs in American schools and our current limited capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
State Specific
Automobile Shipping-Rhode IslandGet your instant auto shipping quote now!
Rhode Island's full name, believe it or not, is The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, which actually makes it the official longest state name out of any state in the United States. What's funny is that Rhode Island isn't actually an island; it borders both Massachusetts and Connecticut on the mainland, but that just makes it easier to find auto shipping to or from the state. Read on to find what lies in wait for you in Rhode Island.
What's great about Rhode Island is that you are no further than 45 minutes away from any source of water; whether it's a lake, stream, river or ocean, you're that close to it. Because of the abundance of fresh water in the state, wildlife is common in the many forests, so hunting is a major draw for outdoor enthusiasts. However, not everyone like to hunt furry animals; if you're one of those people, there are many other things to do including boating, skiing, hiking, bicycling, yachting, driving – you name it, and you can find it outside in Rhode Island. Except home-baked cookies, because those don't grow on trees.
Despite the number of ski resorts in the state, there is not one mountain; the tallest peak in the state is Jeriomoth Hill, which sits just 812 feet above sea level. However, skiing isn't the state's main attraction – that distinction goes to its many lakes and rivers, and it was because of these sources of water that Samuel Slater, the man to invent the textile mill (though he stole it from a British guy) in the United States, decided to build his first mill in Rhode Island. The first Slater Mill was constructed on the banks of the Blackstone River, which has earned Rhode Island the name the "Birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution."
Rhode Island is a typical New England state – full of cool harbor towns, lots of outdoor activities, but ultimately what will draw you will be the weather. During the summer, sunshine is common, with highs typically getting into the mid-80's on average during the day and lows only dropping into the low-to-mid 60's overnight. If snow is your thing, though, head there in the winter time; average highs only top out at around 50 degrees during the day, with overnight lows often dropping down to around the freezing point, and snow is all too common.
If you are looking for auto shipping to or from Rhode Island, you need look no further than Auto Shipping Quotes.com.

Apple Cultivar Findings Could Improve Apple Disease Management
A plant pathologist at West Virginia University's Tree Fruit Research and Education Center has studied and coordinated publication of research on disease susceptibility of new and emerging apple cultivars in the eastern United States. Diseases of apples cost the tree fruit industry in West Virginia well over a million dollars in losses every year.
The old saying says that one rotten apple can spoil the whole bunch. For West Virginia's tree fruit industry, rotten apples and other diseases are a real concern. Fruit diseases cost the tree fruit industry well over a million dollars of losses annually.
Over the past ten years, Dr. Alan Biggs, a plant pathologist at the WVU Kearneysville Tree Fruit Research and Education Center, has collected data on the relative susceptibility of new apple cultivars and unnamed selections to important plant diseases in the Mid-Atlantic region. Biggs, in cooperation with colleagues in North Carolina, Virginia, Michigan, New York, Massachusetts, and the USDA, was the lead author of a series of scientific articles describing the findings. The pathogens studied included apple scab, powdery mildew, rust diseases, and various other fruit rots and blemishes caused by fungi. These diseases are responsible for as much as three-quarters of the losses resulting from diseases in the region. Biggs has been conducting research to address the biology, epidemiology and control of these diseases. (View poster summary here (pdf)).
"We've found that there are large variations in the susceptibility of new apple cultivars to the major diseases in our region. When we know in advance how a newly introduced cultivar will perform, then we can implement management strategies that are appropriate for the level of susceptibility. This should significantly reduce unnecessary fungicide applications," Biggs said. He also hopes that this knowledge will help homeowners and other hobbyists to select cultivars with multiple disease resistance so that fewer chemicals are needed to produce good quality fruit at home. Biggs' goal is to develop an integrated approach to fruit disease management to reduce losses resulting from multiple diseases.

LONG BEACH — A new city position could be created to spur economic development and act as a liaison to businesses.
Vice Mayor Robert Garcia has proposed legislation for Tuesday's City Council meeting that would study reviving many of the functions of the Office of Economic Development, which was dismantled two years ago.
The cost of the business and economic development officer job could be offset by unspecified adjustments to other city positions, according to the proposal.
Garcia said the position would work to enhance business growth and expand the city's tax base while acting as an ombudsman for the private sector and helping to cut through "red tape."
"We need a full-time ambassador to business," said Garcia.
"I think that Long Beach could be way more aggressive in both business recruitment and business retention," he added.
Garcia's legislation is co-sponsored by councilmen Gary DeLong, Patrick O'Donnell and James Johnson.
It directs City Manager Pat West to report back on the feasibility and costs of the position within 90 days.
The City Council will meet at 5 p.m. Tuesday in Council Chambers, 333 W. Ocean Blvd., Long Beach.

Behavior of Metallic Foam under Shock Wave Loading
AbstractIn this manuscript, the behavior of metallic foam under impact loading and shock wave propagation has been observed. The goal of this research was to investigate the material and structural properties of submerged open-cell aluminum foam under impact loading conditions with particular interest in shock wave propagation and its effects on cellular material deformation. For this purpose experimental tests and dynamic computational simulations of aluminum foam specimens inside a water tank subjected to explosive charge have been performed. Comparison of the results shows a good correlation between the experimental and simulation results.

Drag suits are larger cut swim briefs that create drag while you swim. They are also used as men's fitness swimwear since they provide more coverage than a traditional brief swimsuit. Drag swim suits or training suits are typically made from Nylon or Polyester since those fabrics will last longer in the cholorinated pool water during your swim workout.

Audi said yesterday it would invest a bumper €22 billion (£18.4bn) in new models, plants and technology over the next five years.
That equates to €4.4bn a year, compared with €2.6bn in the German carmaker's budget of December 2011. Sources said earlier this month that the firm planned to increase spending as it steps up efforts to catch larger competitor BMW. Some 70 per cent of Audi's planned investment will be earmarked for new models and technology.

Alleged murderer confessed to a family member before his arrest, according to Abilene police
ABILENE, Texas - An Abilene man charged with murder, in connection to the beating death of his roommate, allegedly confessed to one of his family members before he was arrested.
Ricky White, 34, was arrested Monday for the murder of Willie Anderson, 58. According to police, Anderson was killed in their home on Bickley Street early Monday morning and White had moved into the home just one or two weeks before the murder.
White became a suspect after he allegedly called one of his family members and told them he killed Anderson, according to an arrest report.
Police contacted White in a traffic stop and, after a lengthy interview, said White allegedly killed Anderson by hitting and kicking him in the head.
As of Saturday, White remains in the Taylor County Jail on $250,000 bond. He also had an outstanding warrant for a motion to revoke his probation on a family violence conviction.
A graveside memorial will be held for Anderson at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Potosi Cemetery.

|Copper - A Building Block for a Healthy Baby
By W. Thomas Johnson
Proper nutrition during pregnancy cannot be overstated because it provides building blocks for the developing fetus, fulfills maternal energy requirements, and increases energy reserves needed for lactation. Recommendations for good prenatal nutrition traditionally have addressed weight gain and nutrient intake during pregnancy. Although calorie requirements increase during pregnancy, a woman's body adapts to the increase in requirements and becomes more efficient. This means that only a small increase of about 300 calories a day is needed to meet energy requirements.
But the requirements for vitamins and minerals also increase during pregnancy and the increase in vitamin and mineral requirements is more difficult to meet through changes in dietary intake than by simply consuming more calories. As a result, vitamin and mineral supplements are often used as a component of prenatal care.
Copper is one of several minerals whose requirements are increased during pregnancy and lactation. The Food and Nutrition Board of the Institutes of Medicine of the National Academies of Science has established recommended dietary allowances, or RDA's, for a large number of nutrients. The RDA for a nutrient is defined as the average dietary intake level that is sufficient to meet the nutrient requirement of nearly all (97-98%) healthy individuals in a particular life stage and gender group. For copper, the RDA for women who are 19 years-old or older is 0.9 milligram per day. During pregnancy the RDA for copper increases to 1 milligram per day and increases further to 1.3 milligrams per day during lactation. Although these are relatively small amounts of daily copper, results from surveys of food intakes indicate that average copper intakes in 14 to 30 year-old women range from 0.44 to 0.76 milligrams per day. These surveys also indicate that up to 75% of pregnant women and 90% of lactating women may have dietary copper intakes below the RDA for copper. These findings suggest that the nutrient requirements for copper are not always met by dietary intake in women of reproductive age and during pregnancy and lactation.
The importance of vitamins and minerals during pregnancy is often reflected in outcomes for the infant. For instance, it is well-recognized that folate deficiency during pregnancy can lead to certain types of birth defects in the brain and spinal cord. Although the outcomes for infants that result from copper deficiency during pregnancy are not as clear, its importance during pregnancy is reflected in several animal species where a variety of neurological defects occur in the offspring of copper-deficient mothers. Recent work at the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center indicates that long-lasting heart defects also may occur in the offspring of rats who had low dietary copper intakes during pregnancy and lactation.
The cells in the heart contain mitochondria which are responsible for supplying the energy required for cellular function. One of the components in the mitochondrial energy generating mechanism is a copper-dependent enzyme called cytochrome c oxidase. My research showed that the activity of this enzyme was reduced in the hearts of apparently normal, healthy rat pups whose mothers ate diets that were low in copper during pregnancy and lactation. Surprisingly, the reduction in the activity of cytochrome c oxidase in the hearts of these offspring was very persistent and could not be fully restored even after supplementing their diet with adequate copper for 9 months. Furthermore, mitochondria isolated from the hearts of the 9-month old offspring of the copper-deficient mothers produced more oxygen radicals, which are highly reactive forms of oxygen, than normal.
Our findings indicate that low copper intakes by pregnant and lactating rats have irreversible consequences on mitochondrial function and oxygen radical production in the hearts of their offspring. Although further research is needed to understand how the changes in mitochondrial function and oxygen radical production affect heart function and susceptibility to disease, an expanding body of evidence from several laboratories has shown these changes contribute to several common degenerative diseases, including some forms of heart disease.
Although it is difficult to extend research findings from laboratory animals to humans, my research suggests that adequate copper nutrition during pregnancy and lactation is an important consideration for women that may help reduce the risk for their children of developing heart disease during adulthood. As mentioned above, women of reproductive age in general may have daily copper intakes below the RDA and should try to incorporate more foods that are good sources of copper into their diets. These foods include shellfish such as shrimp, crab and lobster, whole-grain foods, beans, lentils and mushrooms. Also, because copper requirements increase during pregnancy and lactation, women should follow the advice of their health care provider if vitamin and mineral supplements are recommended as part of prenatal care.

Since Forbidden Island Is a pretty new dungeon and no guide is out so far i thought it will be a good idea to post the guide a found.
This is a little guide trough Forbidden Island i hope you enjoy:
First you talk to the NPC:
1. This is the first boss, use bm2 + trans + debuffs to get him to half life, then extend and finish him off
2. Kill the red fish
3. Kill Cruel Bugdolphy
4. Same technique as the first boss
5. Kill these mobs to spawn the first Syarsor. He will appear further down the road.
6. Kill the Syarsor
7. Kill the red fish again (Optional)
8. Kill Muchaa then click on Arhen
9. Get everyone in the fire pit room then bm2+aura and click on fire pit. Then kill Syarsor.
10. Kill Riott, then go to the side that is opposite to where the fire pit room is and kill ArcShielder
11. Choose ur final boss here. Then go up stairs and kill the super hard boss Syarsor with the Fire Spirit that heals you for -2000 dmg ^_^
Then click on Arhen, then click on ur chosen NPC again, then click on Arhen again. Then goto ArcShielder place where the door was closed before
12. This is the Syarsor with the Fire Spirit ~_~
Since we chose Captain Trugast i'll show u his quest first. Go past ArcShielder's door and get on the big ship.
13. Kill the morsus on the plank or you wont be able to get on the ship
14. When you are on the ship kill the 1 Curdy and 3 more Curdy will spawn, kill them and Conna will spawn.
15. After killing Conna, 1st Captain Trugast should spawn. Kill him
16. Kill the 2nd Captain Trugast on top of the stairs
17. Kill the 3rd form of Captain Trugast on top of the other stairs
YAY, you've finished Forbidden Island
18. Different Ending
ON THE OTHER HAND. if u had chosed Queen Calamity, then you would not have come onto
the ship at all, instead you continue on the path that takes you onto the ship. This path will lead to Kiias Rodon and you will have to kill him. Then continue behind him ignoring the (ban me for language use) hitting the walls to drop rocks on your head. Soon you will encounter the final form of Kiias Rodon and kill him (you need LOTS of dmg). Behind him a wall will open and you will have to kill Queen Calamity. The technique is to kill it's legs to lower it's attack and def. If the queen goes aod or shadowshield or epic regen mode, just kill Vital of Queen or Fury of Queen and the buff should come down....
This is Queen Calamity.....
YAY for finishing the dungeon :P

Hopefully these improvements could make it in the next release and should see MXM adopted by more users.
At first I was overwhelmed with the amount of files included with the release on "the usual places".
I wasn't sure where to start.
Hopefully I can provide some suggestions but it's upto the developers if they take them on board.. I won't mind
In the main directory structure there should be a single .nfo or txt file describing what the release is and basic installation instructions.
Perhaps also a History/Changelog.nfo or txt instead of all those nfo's in the directory.
There should be a release directory or similiar with the default.xbe and a simple xml file setup similiar to EvoX - e.g. auto-adding apps, emus and games.
There should probably be a Skins subfolder as well, so people will understand where to put them.
The next problem is where do I start with the XML file?
Maybe a utilities directory or similiar with Myxomatosis supplied. It should come with the tutorial that is on that website mentioned in "where to get files" thread.
I think the lite version is "too" lite.
Then there should be a documentation folder containing all those extra stuff (XML tags, Skinning etc), preferably in HTML format.
As for MXM itself:
Lastly I was confused at the lack of a "Launch DVD" option similiar to EvoX. I do not wan't to auto-launch DVDs but there is no way to actually get to them if I decide to!
Thanks for reading. Keep up the good work
