184 Gleasondale Road(Route 62)Stow, MA
small farm is now open for the 2016 season
We started preparing in March as we always do, with plants in the greenhouse. At the end of March, Barbara developed a heart problem which sent her to the hospital for surgery. The surgery went well, but complications developed and she was in the hospital for two months. Dwight spent a significant amount of time commuting to the hospital to support Barbara. As a result, the greenhouse work was spotty, and many plants did not make it and had to be restarted. Field work just didn't get done.
By late May, Barbara's condition worsened and on the 26th, she passed away peacefully, at home, with family. Concord Funeral Home is handling the details and information can be found on their website.
We decided to work the farm this year, so we got a very late start. That means we will be opening late. We have decided on July 9 for the opening day, two weeks later than normal.
The flowers are almost all in the field but there are not a lot of blooms as of the end of June. The flowers did not get pinched in the greenhouse so they aren't branching much yet. Hopefully they will fill out a bit by opening time.

This review is from: Western Digital Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: This hard drive has been great for over three years and I've had no problems with it at all.
Cons: None at all.
Other Thoughts: I had no problems whatsoever, but since I've had it for a long time and all hard drives die after several years, I wanted to stay on the safe side with my data so I finally replaced this recently because I wanted more space and I needed new identical drives for a RAID setup.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Logitech S-220 17 Watts 2.1 Multimedia Speaker System
Pros: Very cheap, looks great, and decent sound quality for its price at sane volumes
Cons: You can't crank these up to an insane volume like you can with more expensive speakers, but they're plenty loud for any sane use, and still sounds fine above that.
The cables are kind of a mess, as there's a lot of wires that are all routed through the control dial that's supposed to lay on your desk. Since there's so many wires, it becomes hard for the light little volume control wheel to stay on the desk.
After a year or two of use the volume control wheel's potentiometer got a loose connection so there's lots of crackling while adjusting it. Additionally the left and right speakers loose connection while being adjusted and the wheel needs to be leveled in order to get both speakers working.
The satellite speakers also blew out after a year or two of use and they sound really crackley and bad now.
Other Thoughts: For thirty bucks, these speakers were worth the purchase, even though they blew out after a year. Buying these every year or two is still cheaper than purchasing an expensive set of "professional" speakers. The sound quality was decent, although I am not an audiophile.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Dell UltraSharp U2713HM Black & Silver 27" WQHD 8ms(GTG) IPS-Panel Displayport HDMI Widescreen LED Monitor 350 cd/m2 DC 2Million:1 (1000:1), height&pivot adjustable
Pros: Very high resolution
Colors look great
Amazing viewing angle
Cons: I hard to get two replacements before I got one that didn't have dust particles in the panel. There was dust of some sort inside, beneath the screen, causing darkened areas. It seems the quality control on these monitors is pretty bad if they let that get through *twice*.
Other Thoughts: Dell's customer support was really good and they quickly sent me the replacement both times and I was allowed to keep the bad monitor until the replacement arrived. While it was a hassle to get a good monitor, it's certainly worth it once you do. I love the resolution, and I could never imaging having to go back to 1920x1080!READ FULL REVIEW

This is an old southern term used by my grandmother. It is a disrespectful term for a white person similar to "cracker" or "honky." I believe it comes from the fact that woodpeckers have reddish hair up top like white people.

McDonalds' Golden Arches Go Green with Low-Voltage Halogen and LED LightingToday there are roughly 13,000 McDonalds fast food restaurants in the United States, all of which have signs, lighting, stoves, and other appliances that consume energy. Like many businesses throughout the United States, McDonalds has begun drawing up plans for becoming more environmentally friendly. A large part of these plans has involved developing environmentally friendly lighting solutions to reduce energy consumption and operating costs. McDonalds has already taken steps to reduce energy consumption but maintain excellent lighting by using Philips' excellent low-voltage dichroic MR16s to ensure that McDonalds' restaurants have great looking, long lasting lighting.
McDonalds has also been attempting to improve on the efficiency of high performance halogens and has been experimenting with LED lighting systems coupled with natural lighting. In a prototype restaurant in North Carolina, the lighting is nearly totally comprised of LED bulbs and fixtures and is supplemented by skylights and natural light. The restaurant's LED Lighting and natural lighting is projected to save this McDonalds roughly 78% in energy consumption. Though it may be a long time until all 13,000 McDonalds restaurants are LED lit, it is promising to see that corporations as large as McDonalds are joining in the green revolution.
BulbAmerica has a wide selection of low voltage halogen lighting products and LED products to save you energy and money while giving you great quality lighting. Retrofit your incandescent bulbs with energy efficient halogen, CFLs, and LEDs and join the green revolution today!

Deadline nears for comment on projectOctober 26,2013Deadline nears for
comment on project
BRATTLEBORO Vermonts Public Service Board has extended the comment period on a proposed 2-megawatt solar array for land along Interstate 91 in Brattleboro.
But the town Select Board is still waiting to see if the PSB will allow a public hearing on the proposal by Winstanley Enterprises to install about 8,300 solar panels.
The firm applied for a certificate of public good from the board and asked that the application be considered under a process that expedites the permitting comment period and limits the public input opportunities.
The Brattleboro Reformer reported the Public Service Board set an Oct. 18 deadline for the interested parties to comment. After the town asked for the public hearing, the board extended the comment deadline to Monday.
The Select Board, the Planning Commission and the public have been largely supportive of the project.
There have been some comments made about the aesthetic impact of having more than 8,000 solar panels along the major highway into Vermont, but others have said the solar array should be highlighted to showcase Vermonts commitment to renewable energy.MORE IN This Just InBENNINGTON A North Bennington man who had worked as a crossing guard for the Village School of...

RANGOON — Fourteen officials at the Finance Ministry's Internal Revenue Department (IRD) have been dismissed for taking bribes, while another 14 are expected to be punished soon, according to government sources.
Five deputy-directors and five officials in charge of different branches of the IRD's Rangoon Division, three deputy-directors from the IRD Mandalay Division and one deputy-director from the IRD in the Mon State capital Moulmein were sacked on corruption charges, a senior IRD official in the capital Naypyidaw told The Irrawaddy.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said another 14 senior IRD officials — including several deputy directors and other high-ranking officials — are under investigation and will soon be punished on graft charges. Seven of the officials have already been transferred to other departments and two have been asked to resign.
The senior IRD officials will, however, escape criminal charges of bribery, according to an officer with the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) in Rangoon's Insein Township.
"This case wasn't transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department and Naypyidaw took direct control of it," said the officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The CID is a special department of Burma's Police Force.
"It has yet to be decided exactly which organization is responsible for investigating tax-related cases in the future," he added.
The CID officer said tax officials were often approached by businessmen who attempt to bribe and negotiate with them in order to evade taxes or to lower their tax bills.
An investigation into the dismissed officials' activities was started after low-ranking IRD officials sent a complaint to Naypyidaw alleging that their bosses were taking kickbacks from businessmen.
Than Lwin, vice-chairman of privately-owned Kanbawza Bank and an advisor to the Finance Ministry, said he welcomed the measures as it was well-known that many IRD employees were taking bribes. He added nonetheless, that the officials should face criminal charges in court.
"The state has earned less revenue due to such negotiations and bribery practices," said Than Lwin. "To solve this problem, we have to start from the top. It is good that the [Finance Ministry] now listens to experts about how to tackle the problem."
Burma's government is planning to drastically reform its ineffective tax system. The recently formed Board of Scrutinizing and Monitoring of Tax Collection is currently reviewing the tax system to offer suggestions on how to end widespread corruption and tax evasion.
There have been several corruption cases involving dozens officials in the past year.
In June 2012, five employees from the Ministry of Commerce, 33 from the Finance Ministry's Customs Department and five from the Rangoon Port Authority were either dismissed, suspended or transferred because of their involvement in illegal import of unregistered vehicles from different ports.
In another case in February this year, 16 customs officers were forced to resign following an investigation that found them guilty of accepting bribes to allow the import of restricted vehicles at a port in Rangoon.
It has been a sad state of affairs for far too long. But good to see to have taken overdue action. After the top (or middle top), a downward effective action is direly called for, for that is where the majority of the public are affected: the immediate action seems to be to make efforts to stem the practice, rather than immediate and outright dismissals, which probably is needed for un-heedful officials and clerical staffs over time. The practice is not confined to Finance ministry alone. It is rampant in all government departments. Even "tea-money" cannot be tolerated, Pay them well, and train them well to be public spirited and helpful to the clients
All generals and all USDP members need to resign. No one has a single clean hand. They all steal and cheat. From top to bottom, all USDP Hlutdaw members and executive branch from Thein Sein to all ministers and deputies need to resign.

Skip to comments.Economy: Landfills (and thrift stores) hurting as consumers repair, reuse
Posted on 04/26/2009 3:37:32 PM PDT by llevrok

Oh the humanity!!!!
First to say: Why post this trash?
What a waste.
Now wait a minute, how does the law of supply and demand work backwards for garbage dumps? Less demand for a place to dump garbage should mean cheaper rates, no? Why not?
There is a reason why they call them "temporary" !
Now, now, we're supposed to dump on liberal lies.
Very funny!
This will create an employment vacuum for green job fulfillment.
Goodwill is still doing a booming business. Bought a prom dress there the other day and they had just as much stuff as they've ever had. Yes, brand new with the store tags for $12, thank you very much.
So it costs us money if we throw it away.
But it costs us money if we DON'T throw it away.
This world is Eff'd up to the max!!
Ahhhh, the only time I EVER saw a repairman at our house was when we got a TV. Other than that...my dad, painted, sanded, nailed, refinished and rewired lamps all down in our basement. It was fun as a kid to go down there while he was doing that and just hang out and talk to him. Those were hard days for lots of people but...we made do with what we had and had shoes repaired, wore hand me downs, and even had (mismatched furniture pieces in our house given to us by friends or relatives) heaven forbid. The furniture was not always perfect or a "set" but...the love was perfect from a "set" of parents who took care of their family the best way they knew how and taught my brother and sisters to do the same. Thank you God for the wisdom of good parents and the lessons they taught us for life. I am VERY GRATEFUL.
Curiously, there was no correlation with population reduction. The landfill volume is a function of the populations size. If people are fleeing the area, landfills will feel the decline.
"People don't have the kind of money to spend buying a new system when they can repair their old stuff for like half the cost," said Dan Seidl, purchasing manager.
The USB controller on the motherboard of my 6-year old PC is shorting out, so I bought an Ultra PCI card with 6 USB ports. I paid $20 with shipping -- a heck of a lot less than a new computer. Now I can run my Wacom Intuos, external HD, flash driver, printer, Alltel aircard, etc. without my system shutting down.
If Microsoft is smart (yeah, I know, HAHAHAAAAA), they could market Windows 7 to those of us with older PC's who refuse to downgrade to Vista.
A cabinet factory near my home is closing and their dumping their warehouse inventory. I've been going down there and grabbing cupboard doors cheap (the ones with glass panes) to use as picture frames that look a bit like windows with scenery pictures behind them.
If the economy picks up I think I'll be able to sell them and make a nifty profit at flea markets and craft shows etc.
Your recycling material is now going straight to the dump as the prices paid for the recycled material does not pay shipping costs. Only aluminum and copper remain above water, locally.
>> About 82 temporary workers have been laid
That's some job perk, especially for a temp.
Have they not been screaming about the filling up of the landfills? Yep, upside down fer sure!
Most of our furniture doesn't match either. We have an accumulation of old stuff. Fixing stuff is what we've always done, as well as cooking from scratch most of the time.
No doubt there is a glut of people with my skill set out there but some of the ones I have met do not inspire any confidence in me. It is scary how much people simply do not know.
T-minus how long until some socialist supporting clown will use this "story" to say this:
If we didn't have capitalism we wouldn't have so much stuff and so many landfills wouldn't have been filled in which release methane which have been causing temperatures to rise due to it being one of the ways man, undoubtedly, has been causing global warming...
We need to bail out the landfill industry...put a TARP over the dump.
Your post was a breath of fresh air, thank you.
Well, I've taken coffee makers apart and cannibalized them to make a good working one. Whenever possible, I repair instead of replace.
My dishwasher was leaking so I had to pull the motor and the pump to redo the seal, works like a charm now. That was kind of a fascinating exercise because the pumps on them are bi-directional, if the motor spins one way, it pumps water into (through) the system, and if the motor spins in the other direction, then it pumps the water out of the system!
But you are right. I would guesstimate that 95% of the time when something breaks, your average Joe (or Jill) doesn't have the time or inclination to fix it, even assuming they knew how..
I would have taken the carb off but it had oddball fittings that would strip if I did anything but use the special tool that I didn't have for it. Putting the float bowl back on and aligned right took a few tries but I got it. I also remembered why I don't like working on carbs of any kind. I really don't know where to get a hold of something like that. It is a Briggs Stratton which I am 99% sure.
I was never the greatest small engine guy in the world but the old generator starts right up. There is a tiny bit of slack in the cord. The oil pressure safety switch is apparently defective on some models like mine. It will run fine for about 45 minutes or so then start to stumble and almost shutdown and then it will come right back. I need to track down a replacement switch.
Maybe when the surgeon releases me this Friday hopefully I can get back to doing stuff around here. I feel so much better overall than before going in. My gall bladder blew out on me recently and I had the first real surgery of my life. Looking back it may have been giving me problems for a very, very long time. At least I have become reacquainted with Bonanza and Gunsmoke. Favorites of my Grandfather.
i sure remember those days. always wished i had spent more time with my dad learning stuff i could use in my days without him and mom.
My wood shop taught some basic 110 home electrical and one guy already worked with his dad a lot and knew how to do a lot. He impressed us and the teacher too. This was 7th grade. Auto Mech was 9-12 and I was perfectly happy in there. I hated the rest of the high school racket.
It's funny. I have been repairing industrial equipment for almost thirty years. I fix everything. I fix things that others would throw away. It's really hard for me to understand NOT trying to fix something.
But...why don't you want a buggy piece of spyware masquerading as an operating system?
HA....our 1+ year old washing machine QUIT the other day....I couldn't figure out why.....it just wouldn't start and go past the first phase....so, I got on the Internet, and did a little research. In the end I found a HINT at a POSSIBLE problem, removed the top so I could reach some things (and unplugged it!).....eventually I wiggled some things. Tried it...and VOILA!, it worked!
This Internet thingy is great! And, I'm a 58 yr old woman...sure impressed my husband by saving a call to a "repair guy" who would have charged probably $75 just to show up.
Ya, the Internet thingy knows everything. That's why I have it instead of TV. It's our humor, our online EVERYTHING resource, entertainment, best friend, and puppy. I pet and feed the modem every morning until it's tail wags.
Monopolists don't operate under the law of supply and demand. Our garbage rates go up every time the waste stream goes down. Rates really jumped when they started the "free" recycling program 20 years ago. We raised our family of three kids with only one trash can every week due to that program.
I hate carbs... But I can fix one if I have too...
Don't know about gallbladder surgery, but an ACL replacement/Meniscus sew-up/ MCL sew-up is not very fun either. I have a new respect for ice packs!
Rebuilt a 2 barrel carb about four times on my old Chevy Vega, back in the day. That thing never did work right at idle. Drip, drip, sputter, sputter.
One rule of thumb I have been able to remember is running a mixture screw in to close and back out 1 1/2 turns to be close. The little 2100 on my 304 has one mixture screw that is a real pain to adjust without one of those flexible screwdrivers.
A blown gall bladder is a special brand of misery. Abdominal pain on par with a kidney stone, turning very yellow/orange all over, dark brown urine, and an overall since of misery.
I can also handle most basic plumbing, electrical, and some carpentry. A lot of my limitations come from a tools budget standpoint or something that takes two bodies. However, I do know what I can and can't get away with. In those can't situations, I know to call somebody.
I did my part on Earth Day to help the economy and keep people employed. I threw away a couple aluminum cans in the trash while at work.
I help keep the Bauxite miners, aluminum smelters, and landfill personnel with jobs.
Would some idiot actually throw away a working refrigerator just because the icemaker broke?
You got it and....good for you. Gotta watch out for us 58 and OLDER (like me) ladies. :)
Well, I'm sure you learned much more than you ever realized just by being in the house and not hanging out with anyone inparticular. That's how we all learn...watching, examples etc. We DID learn lots from our parents when they taught us and then we learned lots from them just by being around them. That's what parents are for. Today? Not so much because so many work. It's a crying shame but...guess I'm just old fashioned and would rather do with less yet have so much more. :)
One of the last saves was our ancient dryer. We had purchased two of the same model over time from a repair shop that resold them cheap. He just cannibalized one to get the part for the other and it has now worked an extra 6 months. A screw froze and broke in the lawn tractor/mower. We went on line and for $12 with shipping, the part is on its way. I love it.
We both came from families that never repaired anything. It made a mess, or got oil on the driveway or just wasn't something they understood. My husband would have loved to have taken auto or wood shop, but was discouraged from doing that. But he understands how things work and reads the manuals. Even I have learned to at least figure out what is wrong with something, even if I usually can't do anything about it. But, then, I am spoiled.
I saw an article recently on the Frugal Dad blog about repurposing an old laptop with a defunct battery to use as a netbook. He installed the Linux Ubuntu operating system. Pretty interesting stuff. If all you need is to surf and check email you don't need a supercharged computer and Linus is perfect for that. It's fun to play with, too.
Puppy Linux is even slimmer, letting you boot from a thumb drive.
You can sell them on Etsy too:
You might enjoy our survival thread. We could use a new poster like you there:
Is Recession Preparing a New Breed of Survivalist? [Survival Today - an On going Thread #2]
Another addition:
Use old suitcases to keep all these items secure. When you need them just pick them up by the handle and you are ready to "rock and roll." :) Someone told me to do that with old photo albums and all that kind of thing. Especially good for those living in high fire areas or floods where you are needing to evac in a HURRY.
Thank YOU!!!
And isn't there a real satisfaction to take something old and banged up and then restore it to something useful and beautiful once again? Why pay for new? Go to garage sales and flea markets. Bargain, bargain, bargain. Bring home your finds and go for it.
As for cooking from scratch...I know it takes a little longer as do you but...it IS worth it when we know we fixed it with clean hands and we put in the food what WE want in there. It really doesn't take long to grab some fresh veggies, wash them good and then put them in a pan to cook while doing other things. A simple, nutritious meal can be on the table by the time everyone goes and gets changed from school or work and does all the things they do before eating dinner. One child can set the table. Whomever does the cooking does NOT have to clear the table or clean up. That is for the ones who were off doing something else while one person was doing the cooking. It CAN be done and can be done systematically when everyone has a chore and pulls together. If not...then that's chaos and ... nothing we can do about that. That's something that has to be solved by each individual family. Sometimes...I think we make life TOO HARD on ourselves and...I wish most people would remember we don't have to wait for government to do things FOR us or TELL us when or what we should do. We KNOW what to do and if we don't...we are all smarter than the government thinks we are and therefore...we can figure it out on our own. They don't know what they are doing anyway. It's up to all of us to take care of ourselves.
Your welcome :)
I hope my kids look up to me the same way you look up to yours.

new and need help
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to get help from you on my current problem. I was issued by my company a desktop of my own BUT they created a LIMITED account thats why I cant install other programs other than those programs currently installed in it.
Can anyone help me please to change my Windows XP log in account type?
Re: new and need help
Moved to Windows forum
Re: new and need help
Ok windows XP stores its password in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SAM" and "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\SYSTEM" .Don't jump just yet :nonod:.These files are password hashes stored in binary format and you can't read them.So what you got to do is get L0phtCrack from http://www.atstake.com/ to be able dump the password hashes and than run a dictionary attack on the hashes.Mind you this can take a lot of time depending on how intelligent your admin is(which would be directly proportional to how strong his password is).
Also another method which uses time/memory tradeoff is rainbow tables.You can visit this site http://project-rainbowcrack.com/.
Ok so that is about it if you want more information I suggest you see http://www.windowsecurity.com/articles/Protect-Weak-Authentication-Protocols-Passwords.html .
The above link is usefull and you can also google SAM attacks.
Again as this is your company lappy i suggest you avoid doing anything illegal as it can cost you your job.Anyways let me know if it helped.;)
Re: new and need help
listen what fob is saying can also be done .... yet there is another way of solving the problem
it usually runs in old windows Xp editions ....
sorry if it will not workkk....
just while starting ur computer u open it in safe mode... by choosing the admin acount and if it opens then change the password in safe mode and restart ur windows...........
hav a gud day.....
Re: new and need help
I also have another tips.
Open Cmd > type this :
netuser username *
Then it will prompt you to change the username password.
gud luck.....
But I think you better find out the password,
coz if u change it, your company will find out, right?
Re: new and need help
Yo can follow fob but in the case of kiddo's suggestion, "net user" will not work because this commands works only if you are logged in as an Administrator but limited accounts doesn't have administrator powers!
And here is another process to hack win xp's any password by using ophcrack! Exactly I've forgotten the link but it can be found at www.sourceforge.net, I suggest every one to download the live cd of ophcrack and run it, At the starting it will show you all the user name of XP and passwords! Its a LINUX!

Just one book to highlight as far as Kindle deals are concerned: Teach Us to Want by Jen Pollock Michel ($1.99).
Pulp Friction
This article on the need for Barnes and Noble is interesting:
If Barnes & Noble were to shut its doors, Amazon, independent bookstores, and big-box retailers like Target and Walmart would pick up some of the slack. But not all of it. Part of the reason is that book sales are driven by "showrooming," the idea that most people don't buy a book, either in print or electronically, unless they've seen it somewhere else—on a friend's shelf, say, or in a bookstore. Even on the brink of closing, Barnes & Noble still accounts for as much as 30 percent of all sales for some publishing houses.
3 Ways the Gospel Might Divide a Church
Jared Wilson:
Well, the same gospel that by its nature unifies also tends to divide. We don't usually expect this kind of division in a local church — we are typically otherwise fearful about conflict arising from music styles, programming choices, and personality types — but the gospel can divide a church just as easily as it might a family. But actually there's nothing more prone to stirring up mess than the grace of God that has arrived to create order.
Whenever the gospel is faithfully preached, people get poked in the idols. And people don't like that.
The Humble Leader
Kevin DeYoung:
Here's a good check for every leader, or really anyone at all: when is the last time you said, "That's a good idea, let's do it your way"? God is the only one who never changes his mind. He's the only one whose ideas are perfect the first time around. For the rest of us, we must be willing to change–not always and not when it comes to truth, but probably more often than we think. At the very least, the humble leader knows how to incorporate the good ideas of those around him. He's not too proud to admit, "You know what, that's much better than the way I've been doing things."
Not Doing Ministry Like Uzzah
Mike Leake:
About a decade removed from my first struggles with this story I find myself engaging this passage as a pastor. And I realize how much I'm like Uzzah. I've got dirty and sinful hands and I touch holy things every week. I've got extensive training in how to properly handle these holy things and yet I can so often slip into the idea that God needs a little help keeping His treasures from teetering. And so I raise up my trembling (yet somehow also pride-fueled) hand and try to steady the wobbling effects of the sovereign activity of God.
And some how I'm not struck dead.
Why Politics Can't Drive the Gospel
Russell Moore:
Some sectors of religious activism chafe when we say that Christianity has always been and will always be a minority viewpoint in Western culture. Minorities do not exert influence, they will contend, on the culture or the systems around it. The temptation is to pretend to be a majority, even if one is not.
I'm Writing a Book!
Really happy for my friend Chris Martin. Looking forward to reading his book from Rainer Publishing.
Online Friendships Are Not Enough
Phillip Holmes:
So why would I think online friendships can be dangerous? Because they easily can feel like something they are not. While online friends are indeed real people for whom we may have genuine affection, it's essentially impossible for them to actually know the real you. This doesn't mean these friendships have to be ended, but they do need to be regulated.
Online friendships can be great blessings when placed in their proper perspectives, but perilous when they replace local community and the local church.

Using derivatives and swaps to analyze the US Treasury bubble 0 comments
As US Treasury rates keep dropping lower and lower and talk of a bond market bubble exacerbate, one thing that is clear is that money is flowing into government debt not because of a rise in safety but likely because of a lack of confidence in most other investment assets.
Then there is also the Japan investment factor with Japanese investors and banks more than making up for the fall in China's investment into Treasuries. A net 2.1777 trillion yen (~US$25.6 billion) of bonds and notes were purchased by Japanese residents for the week August 8-14, 2010 – the highest on record since the Japan Ministry of Finance (MoF) started releasing the data in 2005. It marks the 14th straight week of positive Japanese investment into Treasuries going back to May of this year around the time when Naoto Kan became prime minister of Japan.
Credit default swap prices on these so-called "risk-free" assets (US government bonds) have actually increased on a percentage basis, more than the fall in yields. United States CDS prices are up 40% in August alone while 5-year Treasury yields have only fallen 15% over the same time period (from 1.64% to 1.4%).
On Wednesday, 10-year US Treasuries fell to as low 2.4157% intraday after closing at 2.50% the day before. That is the lowest level since 2.4% reached on January 20, 2009. US 30-years fell as low as 3.46%, 5-years fell as low as 1.2775% and 2-years fell to 0.4542%. As investors fear another recession and dump their money in government securities around the world, particularly in the US, the yield curve has flattened out to near record levels as investors avoid stocks and prompting worries of a bubble in government debt. The yield spread between 10-year and 2-year treasuries fell under 200 bps after closing at exactly 200 bps yesterday, which is also the flattest it has been since April 2009. Reuters reported that "The closely watched 2/10-year segment of the yield curve flattened as far as 194 basis points……The drop through 200 basis point marked a break of initial support, as did 198 basis points. The next chart support at 193.5 basis points appeared to be holding. Beyond that analysts are watching 188.5 basis points." USA CDS (5-year) meanwhile has risen over 40% in August alone from 35 bps at the beginning of the month to its current level around 50 bps.
In comparison, Japan CDS is actually slightly lower from around 70 bps to 65 bps over the same time frame. Signs of a bubble indeed (or at the very least technical rather than fundamental factors) when bond yields and spreads drop but credit risk does not.

FT5207/047 Eyewear
With these designer eyeglasses, you are always perfectly dressed. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of FT5207in our 2015, and 2016 Tom Ford range.
Expressive lines add character to the classical approach, making the glasses a must-have for women. Full rim frames completely enclose the lenses within the frame. For a convinced eyeglass wearer, any other frame style is ruled out, with very few exceptions. The square shape gives round faces a concise form and makes them appear more striking. It sets a highlight in the appearance, drawing attention to itself. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The FT5207 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive.
With the help of our digital dispensing optician, your prescription lenses can be configured according to your own requirements. Anti-reflective and cleaning coatings, antistatic and lotus effect are included as standard for plastic lenses.
And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

This review is from: SilverStone Argon Series AR02 CPU Cooler with 92mm Fan for socket LGA775/1155/1156/1366/2011, AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2
Pros: see previous
Cons: see previous
Other Thoughts: This is an update to my previous review because a user asked a question but I can't see how to answer it. The dimensions of this cooler are:
130 mm > height off of motherboard
90 mm > perpendicular to airflow
75 mm > parallel to airflow
It's still working great. I have two fans mounted to mine, both blowing into the cooler (this worked better than push-pull). Update to mounting instructions in case you don't see my 1st review:
1) X-shaped piece goes on back of mobo.
2) Knurled nuts w/ threaded rods on each end go through front of mobo to hold X-shaped piece. Use fiber washers between knurled nuts and board surface!
3) Flat bars go from one knurled nut threaded rod to the other (will only fit one way).
4) Flat bar threaded rods point UP.
5) Multi-angled bar goes from one flat bar threaded rod to the other ON TOP OF the cooler block (this clamps the cooler to the CPU).
This review is from: AMD A8-5600K Trinity Quad-Core 3.6GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 100W AD560KWOHJBOX Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 7560D
Pros: Low price. Nice AMD management software, fast, above-decent graphics
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: My new build is finally running well enough to stress test. Prime95's four worker threads got 18, 19, 13, and 8 tests completed in 36 minutes running at 3.8Ghz (utility-managed tuning). Definitely a great value and another win for AMD.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: SilverStone Argon Series AR02 CPU Cooler with 92mm Fan for socket LGA775/1155/1156/1366/2011, AM2/AM3/FM1/FM2
Pros: very good performance, good looking, not too bulky, fan attachments keep it quiet
Cons: instructions are spartan, misleading, and printed so small they're practically impossible to read
Other Thoughts: I was already going to review this for the undeniably horrible assembly instructions but after some stress testing and seeing some other users' temp readings now I can at least add the positive note that it's working great. My box is an ASUS F2A5M Pro with an AMD A8-5600K Trinity. At ambient of 22C the AMD sensor-monitor app is giving me 24C idle to 38C after 5 min. of Prime95.
As for the instructions, well, they are what they are. I had to get out a magnifying glass to make sense of pretty much every drawing - and then a couple of them still didn't make sense. Briefly, in case it might help anyone:
1) Remove all existing cooler mount pieces. None of them are used.
2) The X-shaped piece attaches to *the back* of the board using the tall, knurled nuts. Don't forget fiber washers on the bottom of the knurled nuts! (this is not in the instructions)
3) Those knurled nuts form a platform for one of the two pairs of long, flat steel bars (the angled ones are for AMD, other for Intel). Out of the many parts, these will be the only ones which will fit (long-ways) on the knurled nuts.
4) Attach the bars with their threaded rods *pointed up*.
5) There's a bar with two angles which goes between (perpendicular to, at the middle) the bars attached in 4). This will go *on top of* the bottom block of the cooler and function to clamp it onto the CPU.

The danger in this business, which is very broad, is "to spread out and pretend to be something you're not. And in all the roles I've had, it's been to clarify what the mandate is and to focus on that. That's allowed us to be pretty successful."
With two young children and a third on the way, Mr. Smith devotes spare time to the board of the Investment Dealers Association as well as the board of the Toronto Zoo Foundation.
His involvement with the zoo stems from a strong sense of place -- "I could have worked in New York, but didn't really want to," he says -- and real affection for the city where he grew up. "I'm very passionate about Toronto and its neighbourhoods and things that make Toronto different and interesting, like the zoo, which is a world class organization."
To that end, he takes on more than many Torontonians do and certainly more than many bankers, organizing his neighbours to clean up litter and paint over graffiti.
"Nothing drives me crazier than garbage and graffiti. I just put up placards and did a mail drop and got people of like mind to come out and clean up the ravines and encourage a stewardship program," he says. "That's your park, that's your alley, that's your ravine. If you see something, pick it up. Don't just assume someone else will do it."
C.J. Lovett Lewis, 38 President, Cansel Survey Equipment Ltd. Burnaby, B.C.
Sales through the Internet? Not really. Out to conquer the U.S. market? No need. Snazzy personal transportation? Prefers tramping in the bush.
C.J. Lovett Lewis never did set out to be an executive entrepreneur, and he's still not much like most others of that breed. Nonetheless, sales more than tripled to more than $50-million at Cansel Survey Equipment within three years of Mr. Lewis buying in 2002 the firm he had joined as a sales rep a decade earlier.
"I started in sales with what I'd say is a typical engineer's output," says Mr. Lewis, who holds a graduate degree in geodesy and global positioning systems from the University of New Brunswick in his boyhood province. "People bought products when they needed products. I wasn't sure how I was going to influence that."
He found out, increasing Cansel's sales of emergent GPS technology tenfold in his first year, employing both his passion for surveying -- sparked at age 15 when his parents had a property survey done and Mr. Lewis was riveted by the process -- and a customer-centred approach low on the usual hustle.
"At the end of the day, if it's not to be, let's not waste each other's time," he says of his sales philosophy.
Simple enough, and it seems to work.
"Our expectations for the next three years is continuous growth at 25 to 30 per cent, kind of like what we've been experiencing the last four years or so."
It hasn't hurt that such traditional client sectors for surveying services as construction, forestry, mining and municipal-infrastructure development have been robust. The technology boom in GPS has also kept the flow of innovations high. In addition to selling the equipment, Cansel services and repairs it and offers professional data packages for surveying firms.
The technology may be cutting edge, but the sales -- half of them to companies with five employees or fewer -- are old school.
"A lot of the customers who buy our products are changing their business," Mr. Lewis says. "They want to see it, touch it, feel it out. The level of acceptance has been much lower than we would have expected for using the Internet to purchase our products."
Moreover, the surveying business is too different in the U.S. to bother with for now, says Mr. Lewis, who sees more potential in Canada than the sector can handle.

What a blessing it was to spend time speaking with Cindy about a plan for next year!"
Susie, Veteran Homeschool Mom
"Cindy gives excellent advice for curriculum. She is full of wisdom and passion for teaching at home. She is humble. Even though she is a terrific teacher she never passes judgement on those of us who aren't as blessed with the teaching skills. She is full of ideas for making learning fun and enjoyable."

CINCINNATI — School bus contractor Petermann Ltd. has tapped a former Laidlaw Education Services executive to lead its acquisition efforts.
Paul Fichner held a similar role at Laidlaw (now part of First Student), having been directly involved in numerous acquisitions in the eastern U.S. He also oversaw multi-state operating regions that included Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan, with responsibility for over 75 operating locations and annual revenues of over $165 million.
"My operational background was an invaluable asset to me when evaluating potential acquisition targets; I could certainly appreciate their challenges, and used that experience to tailor agreements that satisfied the needs of all parties," said Fichner, who has been in the school bus industry for over 15 years.
At Cincinnati-based Petermann, Fichner will serve as vice president of mergers and acquisitions.
"Being able to attract a high-caliber person like Paul, with a wealth of school bus industry experience in both business development and operations, will allow me to continue my focus on guiding our strategic growth initiatives as well as on delivering quality service to our current customers," said Peter Settle, president of Petermann.
With a fleet of nearly 2,500 buses, Petermann is the fifth-largest school bus contractor in the nation.
