9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL features a brand-new score by seven-time Grammy Award® winner DOLLY PARTON that includes the blockbuster title song, plus a book by original screenwriter PATRICIA RESNICK, direction by two-time Tony Award® winner JOE MANTELLO (directing his first new musical since Wicked), and online CPA review choreographed by Tony winner ANDY BLANKENBUEHLER (In The Heights). Emmy Award® winner and Tony nominee ALLISON JANNEY stars as Violet Newstead, the super-efficient office manager who joins her fellow co-workers – frazzled divorcée Judy Bernly (STEPHANIE J. BLOCK) and sexy secretary Doralee Rhodes (MEGAN HILTY) – to turn the tables on their "sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical, bigot" of a boss, Franklin Hart Jr. (Tony nominee MARC KUDISCH).
In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy - giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?

Technical Specifications and Recommended Pricing
Testbed and Testing Methodology
We performed all cooler tests inside a closed system case. Here is our testbed configuration:
- Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-X58-UD9 (Intel X58 Express, LGA 1366, BIOS F5 from 5/4/2011);
- Processor: Intel Core i7-980X Extreme Edition, 3.33 GHz, 1.225 V, 6 x 256 KB L2, 12 MB L3 (Gulftown, B1);
- Thermal interface: Gelid GX-Extreme;
- Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 5770 1 GB GDDR5 128 bit, 850/4800 MHz;
- Memory: DDR3 3 x 2 GB OCZ Platinum Low-Voltage Triple Channel (Spec: 1600MHz / 7-7-7-24 / 1.65 V);
- System drive: RAID-0 of 2 x Kingston V-series SNV425S2128GB SSD (SATA-II, 128 GB, MLC, Toshiba TC58NCF618G3T controller);
- Drive for programs and games: Western Digital VelociRaptor (300GB, SATA-II, 10000 RPM, 16MB cache, NCQ) inside Scythe Quiet Drive 3.5" HDD silencer and cooler;
- Backup drive: Samsung Ecogreen F4 HD204UI (SATA-II, 2 TB, 5400 RPM, 32 MB, NCQ);
- System case: Antec Twelve Hundred (front panel: three Noiseblocker NB-Multiframe S-Series MF12-S2 fans at 1020 RPM; back panel: two Noiseblocker NB-BlackSilent PRO PL-1 fans at 1020 RPM; top panel: standard 200 mm fan at 400 RPM);
- Control and monitoring panel: Zalman ZM-MFC2;
- Power supply: Xigmatek "No Rules Power" NRP-HC1501 1500 W (with a default 140 mm fan).
We overclocked our six-core processor (with its default non-lapped heat-spreader) with the multiplier set at 25x and "Load-Line Calibration" (Level 2) enabled to 4.325 GHz. The nominal processor Vcore was increased to 1.4 V in the mainboard BIOS:
Turbo Boost and Hyper-Threading technologies were disabled during our test session. The memory voltage was at 1.64 V and its frequency was 1.4 GHz with 7-7-7-16_1T timings (Extreme profile). All other parameters available in the mainboard BIOS and related to CPU or memory overclocking remained unchanged.
All tests were performed under Windows 7 Ultimate x64 operating system. We used the following software during our test session:
- CPU Stress Test (CST) version 0.18b – to load the processor (matrix # 15, 10-12 minutes);
- Real Temp GT 3.64 – to monitor the processor core temperature;
- CPU-Tweaker 1.5 – to visually monitor temperatures and frequencies using graphics;
- Gigabyte Easy Tune 6 B11.2303.1 – to monitor voltages.
So, the complete screenshot during the test session looks as follows:
The CPU was loaded with two consecutive CST test runs with the settings as indicated above. The stabilization period for the CPU temperature between the two test cycles was about 8-10 minutes. We took the maximum temperature of the hottest CPU core for the results charts. Moreover, we will also provide a table with the temperature readings for all cores including their average values. The ambient temperature was checked next to the system case with an electronic thermometer with 0.1 °C precision that allows hourly monitoring of the temperature changes over the past 6 hours. The room temperature during our test session varied between 21.2-21.5 °C.
The noise level of each cooler was measured between 1:00 and 3:00 AM in a closed room about 20 m2 big using CENTER-321 electronic noise meter. The noise level for each cooler was tested outside the system case when the only noise sources in the lab were the cooler and its fan. The noise meter was installed on a tripod and was always at a 150 mm distance from the cooler fan rotor. The tested cooling systems were placed at the edge of the desk on a sheet of polyurethane foam. The lowest noise reading our noise meter device can register is 29.8 dBA and the subjectively comfortable noise level in these testing conditions was around 36 dBA (do not mix it up with low noise level). The fan(s) rotation speed was adjusted in the entire supported range using our in-house controller by changing the voltage with 0.5 V increment.
Besides checking out the efficiency of the two new twin-brothers, we will also compare them against the leader among coolers with heatpipe direct touch technology – Alpenföhn Nordwand ($64.90) and against the best cooler in its class with a traditional base – Zalman CNPS10X Performa ($40):
Both competitors were tested only in one configuration with one default fan in the entire rotation speed range using 200 RPM increments.

Economic development agency not tracking loans
Semi-public agency was created by Walker, Republican-controlled Legislature
MADISON, Wis. - The semi-public agency charged with overseeing economic development efforts in Wisconsin did not track how much was owed on $8 million on overdue loans for more than a year.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Thursday on the latest problem facing the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. It was created last year by Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican-controlled Legislature to replace the Department of Commerce and lead job-creation efforts.
Democratic critics of the agency slammed the news. State Rep. Jon Richards of Milwaukee called it a "horrendous abuse of the public trust."
The agency's chief operating officer Ryan Murray said he first learned last week that the loans had not been tracked since June 2011, the month before WEDC was created.

Q: What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
A: The craziest thing I've ever done happened one winter season. We had this huge winter storm in Kansas and no electricity for a couple of days. Needless to say, my best friend and I were very bored. So, we decided to play in the snow...in our bathing suits! We wanted to see who could last the longest in the snow but we both ran inside after a couple of minutes laughing our heads off. Once inside, we both looked at each other and realized that we could hardly move our bodies. Despite all the shivering, we had a great laugh!
Q: Do you cook and/or bake anything? If so, what are your special dishes?
A: Yes, I can cook and bake. My specialty is making omelettes. I can always find something in the refrigerator to use in an omelette. I can get pretty creative!
Q: If you were handed 10 million dollars, what would you splurge on?
A: I love to travel! I would splurge on traveling to different countries. I would love to go to Japan, Greece, Italy, Morrocco and many other places. I also enjoy meeting people from other countries and cultures.
Q: If you could meet one celebrity, who would it be and why?
A: I would love to meet Jennifer Aniston. I think she's a great actress and seems very approachable!
She also seems down to earth even though she's a Hollywood Star.
Q: What is unique about you (something no other contestant can say about themselves)?
A: Something that is unique about me is that I'm tri-cultural. I am of European, Chinese and Hispanic descent. I am very proud of each culture! Both sets of great grandparents that I have were born in a different country. These include Poland, Russia, Germany, Norwegian and China, Panama, Colombia and Ecuador.

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Crystal Falls woman appears in Cook County Court
CHICAGO – A Crystal Falls woman appeared in court today in connection with the 1979 murder of her husband who was shot and killed in the couple's Inverness home while her three children remained captive in a closet in the house in a grisly murder plotted by the woman in order to collect her husband's money and inheritance, according to the Office of Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez.
Jacquelyn Greco, 66, has been charged with First Degree Murder for calculating the plan to have her then husband, 34-year-old Carl Gaimari, murdered in their home. Greco was involved in an extra-marital affair at the time of the murder of Gaimari, who was a commodities broker at the Chicago Board of Trade at the time of his death. The couple had been married in 1963 and lived with their four children in a sprawling home in rural Inverness on Turkey Trail Road when the murder occurred.
The charges are the result of an investigation by the Inverness Police Department in cooperation with the Cook County State's Attorney's Cold Case Unit. The agencies began a re-investigation of the murder early last year after investigators began to re-interview old witnesses and seek new leads.
According to investigators, the murder occurred on April 30, 1979, when Greco is alleged to have pre-planned and staged a home invasion. At the time of the incident, three of the four children were home with Greco, when two unidentified males entered the residence and announced a robbery. The offenders ordered Greco and the three children, (ages 13, 5, and 2 at the time) into a bedroom, tied them up and locked them in a closet. Before they closed the closet door, the offenders took a box from the top shelf of the closet that contained two handguns owned by Gaimari.
Later that afternoon, investigators believe that Gaimari returned to his home where the offenders were waiting in the basement. His body was discovered by the couple's 13-year-old daughter. Gaimari had been shot multiple times in the torso area.
The two firearms that had been removed from the closet were recovered near the victim's body and forensic tests later confirmed that the shots that killed Gaimari had been fired from the weapons. Within one week of the murder, Greco's boyfriend moved into the defendant's house and the new couple was married within four months. Greco later inherited Gaimari's estate, estimated to be valued at more than $500,000.
The case had remained unsolved until it was re-opened last year and State's Attorney Alvarez said the investigation is continuing in an attempt to identify and bring charges against the assailants that committed the murder.
"A case may go cold for an extended period of time but we do not forget about our victims," Alvarez said. "This particular case was a cold-blooded, premeditated murder motivated by greed. Not only did this defendant have the nerve to arrange the murder of her husband, she apparently had no reservations about subjecting her young children to this horrific and terrifying experience."
As part of the re-investigation, investigators learned that approximately one year before the murder that Greco had approached a witness and told the witness that she was "fed up" and wanted to "get rid" of Gaimari. Greco is also alleged to have told another witness that she had a plan to kill the victim and that she intended to stage a home invasion during which Gaimari would be killed.
Investigators also identified and located an additional witness who said that Greco had made threatening remarks to her in 1996 telling the woman to "stay out of my business or I'll have you killed like my husband."
As part of the re-investigation, investigators obtained a judicially authorized Confidential Overhear Order which led to the recording of a telephone conversation between Greco and a witness on Valentine's Day of this year in which she admitted that she had planned to kill Gaimari.
On March 27, 2013, a no bond arrest warrant was issued for the defendant. Pursuant to this warrant, Greco was arrested in Crystal Falls, where she has been living for the last several years. Greco was extradited back to Cook County this past Tuesday and she appeared for a bond hearing today at the Cook County Criminal Courts Building in Rolling Meadows, where Judge Jill Cerone-Marisi issued a no bond order. Greco's next court date is set for May 29. If convicted, she faces up to 40 years in prison.
The public is reminded that criminal charging documents contain allegations that are not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the state has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

I gotta admit I'm late to this party, but I'm totally smitten with "the high road" and "the ghost inside"....really fantastic songs, and I'm pretty damn picky personally.
Most bands are a disappointment past 3 songs and I hope they exceed that, but you can't take away a great song, even if you've only got one. The 80's are a testament to that.

Topic: ThinkingSphinx not returning correct results
We currently have ThinkingSphinx working in its most basic mode, and we want to make our search form more complex.
Our model has the following definition;
class Article < ContentType
has_many :content_images, :as => :content, :dependent => :destroy
has_many :images, :through => :content_images
accepts_nested_attributes_for :content_images
define_index do
indexes asset.short_desc, :as => :content
indexes content, :as => :article_text
set_property :delta => :datetime, :threshold => 1.hour
As a test, we can push any string into ts using the following command;
@search = ThinkingSphinx.search @search_string, :classes => [Article]
In our test data, I use strings which appear in only one place - for example, we can search for the phrase PTCXXX.
When I search for only that string, I get only the one record back. Our log returns the following;
[Thu Jun 9 09:24:27.490 2011] 0.000 sec [all/2/rel 1 (0,10)] [article_core,article_delta] PTCXXX
- so we get one record back.
When I try to tell ThinkingSphinx to search for the phrase only in the Content field, it doesn't give me anything back (in the results below, you can see I've tried two different formats for the search - neither worked)
[Thu Jun 9 09:24:08.132 2011] 0.026 sec [all/2/rel 0 (0,10)] [article_core,article_delta] @article_text "PTCXXX"
[Thu Jun 9 09:17:53.339 2011] 0.000 sec [all/2/rel 0 (0,10)] [article_core,article_delta] @article_text=>"PTCXXX"
I've rebuilt the ts indexs and restarted the service - as you can see, a basic search works, but when I try to restrict the search to specific fields, it fails. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong that's pretty basic - but I can't spot it.
All help gratefully recieved!

August 4, 1964: Five ThingsPosted by John Clare in Composers, Concerts, Music Events, Orchestral, tags: August 4 1964, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Gene Scheer, Oratorio, Steven Stucky
I heard the world premiere of Steven Stucky's August 4, 1964 with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Chorus and soloists with Jaap van Zweden last night in Dallas.
1. Not since the golden age of Handel oratorios has something like August 4, 1964 been so touching and well crafted; from the amazing libretto by Gene Scheer to the vocal soloist's costumes, the evening was thought provoking and emotional. Supertitles brought clarity to the work, but with the diction of the soloists, it wasn't needed but certainly appreciated. Still, small details like the italics for the Stephen Spender poem used in the score that hung on one of the mother's wall after hearing about her son's death, was brilliant to make a distinct between the rest of the libretto.
2. The mix between the Civil Rights and Vietnam War was just right – kudos for the balanced libretto from Gene Scheer, and for Stucky's expressive score. Especially moving was the interaction of baritone Robert Orth and the chorus, often contrasting and supporting the storyline. Also the lyric lines of the female soloists, Laquita Mitchell and Kelley O'Connor, were not only performed exquistely, but had touching elements such as holding hands. (All four of the soloists were in period clothes of the 1960s, complete with hats for the women and slender ties for the men held by tie bars.) Staging had been thought about, complete with an oval office set, but was left undone without sufficient rehearsal time. Also, there was an idea to have an audio prelude or overture, with the actual White House tapes and news reports about this day in 1964. It was decided with the Meyerson's acoustics, NOT to play it beforehand, but if you catch a pre-concert talk they play it there…perhaps it should be put online as well?

Natural gas prices continue to climb but warmer temperatures and less usage will offer some relief from springtime heating bills, Xcel Energy says.
During the spring, furnace usage eases and heating bills drop by more than half of the amount customers pay during the colder winter months, the utility says.
The rates aren't getting cheaper, however.
Due to the run-up in U.S. natural gas prices, April-June rates will run 15 percent to 19 percent higher than spring of last year, the utility said.
The typical monthly residential bill will run about $35.39, up 15 percent from $30.66 a year ago, the utility said.
The typical small business bill will run about $152.83, up 19 percent from $128.37 a year ago, the utility said.
In the current winter quarter, the typical residential bill is $81 a month and the typical small business bill is $338 a month, the utility said.
A colder-than-anticipated winter in much of the country is contributing to the rise in natural gas prices that began last year, the utility said.
The state Public Utilities Commission reviews all quarterly rate adjustments.

quote kodeblueI suggest buying any games for your son (or yourself if you so choose) at Gamestop. Most people that work there know their way around most of the gaming systems pretty well and they can usually answer any questions you have. On top of that they have an awesome selection usually and if one person can't answer your question you can almost guarantee someone else in the store will know.I just bought my son a DSI XL. I am totally new to all this stuff and look forward to learning as much as I can to benefit his playtime. I have been looking around and am still trying to learn the difference in what card I need to us for our DSI. I know I have to get one with the 1.4.3. But which card to use is beyond my knowledge lol. I have just found this site so some more searching around and I am sure everything will become more clear.

Skip to comments.Poll: Should Herman Cain Drop Out Of The Race?
Posted on 12/01/2011 5:41:25 PM PST by writer33
Should Herman Cain drop out of the race? Or should he stay in the race until the voters tell him to leave? Does he fight? Or does he leave? And if he should leave, why? What do you say?
What do you say ping list?
I say the damnable RINOs should drop out. Slick Willard, La Raza Rick and Naughty Newtie.
When have we become a nation where you are guilty until proven innocent.
I am sticking with Cain.
I pray he stays in and fights this.
Stay and fight the bastards.
If that Washington Times piece is true? And that's if? Perry needs to go now. There's no difference between those allegations and the slanderous allegations made on Herman Cain.
Cain should do what he believes is the right thing to do.
It's hard to argue with that statement.
If Herman Cain is guilty he should drop out now and spare his family an additional sadness.
However, if he is innocent (which I believe he is) then he should stay and fight to the end. They are afraid of Herman Cain and that is why they are attacking him.
If this latest woman to come forward has LIVING PROOF of her accusations...then she should bring them forward and put them out there for everyone to see. If she is just making an accusation then shame on her and she should have to stand before Herman Cain and his family and repeat those accusations. I think it is bogus but...that's me. At any rate until they can PROVE Mr. Cain to be guilty ... I say press on, fight the good fight and prove them all losers.
I was a Cain supporter from the outset. I am so disappointed with the current revelations that I could cry. The fact is that he had a relationship with a woman and his wife was unaware of it. Whether sex was involved matters not. I have tried to justify this in my own mind and can't find a reasonable story. Let's face it.. we have high standards for ourselves and expect the same from others. Fact is I no longer care what he does.
Yes. the dude is and always was all show and no boat.
I would agree with that. But you're correct...these accusations should be substantiated.
Now isn't that strange..I support Perry and voted that Cain should stay and fight on..
(Perry is a conservative)
I'm a fan of Herman Cain the man, but not the Presidential candidate. I don't think he's qualified to be President, but I salute his conservatism and his work ethic. I think he's naive and almost innocent in a way. 99% of men would be quilty of something more than a platonic relationship with the known circumstanial evidence; however, I think Cain is innocent of anything more than poor judgment and a soft heart. I think "Ginger" is a whack job making up the sexual nature of the relationship for fame or money in some way. If Cain drops out now, it will look like he's got something to hide and would damage his reputation. I would hate to see that, as I don't believe he deserves it.
Obviously you do not have a clue what he has accomplished in his life
Wow! Where did you learn that?
Big ole crocodile tears, too, I'll bet.
It doesn't matter whether he is innocent or not he admitted he was a friend of White's and giving her money without his wife's knowledge.
He's a goner!
Well said..Amen
Why is it so easy to believe he is guilty of anything?
Can you prove them to be fact? I thought not.
Yes, Get Out Now 22.31%
No, Stay And Fight On 76.03%
Other: 1.65%
What do you say ping list?
I say he's said it's up to his wife.
My opinion therefore is of no consequence but I think Cain should drop out. He is no longer a viable candidate. His supporters need to find the next best alternative.
Absolutely not. Nothing has been proven with these allegations. That's all they are is allegations with no substance behind them.
Give it up. He is done.
That's true. It's definitely up to his wife. I merely wanted to know what people thought.
Where did I say he was or is guilty of sexual harrassment or an affair..?
I am very suspicious of the motives of the accusers..and the last one seemed to be after money.
I do think he may be guilty of having a soft heart.
I like Cain..I have never put Cain first on my list..I do support Perry.
When the votes say give it up, he should give it up.
Watching Cain on Hannity now. Talking about how tough it is on his family. supporters want him to run, but he has to put his family first. Has to consider what to do with the contributions. Not hard to read between the lines.
Time to get out. Prolonging the campaign probably won't improve his chances, and it could do irreparable damage to his beautiful family.
Cain needs to bow out gracefully and angle for commerce sec position.
It's not the sexual allegations that lost supporters but the editorial board in Milwaukee where he looked lost.
I wonder if he really expected to get this far? Once you're in the lead it's open season and full spotlights.
hell to the no.
Don't be so humble. Your opinion matters a great deal. Aren't you a vocal supporter of Rick Perry on this site?
(No he isn't)
And if Cain's done, this election is done. McCain redux. You boys want the media and establishment choosing the GOP nominee again ?
He's just stumping for a few days so the staff can get paid out of the campaign coffers.
Even if he doesn't become the nominee, the suggestion is that he stay in the campaign until he gets matching funds. Then, he can bow out of the race, make and endorsement while retiting any campaign debt.
There is no next best alternative. The best was Palin, she didn't run. Cain was next up. There is no third. The third are a bevy of establishment-approved losers. This is like 2008 all over again.
Yes, Get Out Now 26.35%
No, Stay And Fight On 72.46%
Other: 1.2%
The verdict is in. Three quarters of those responding to the poll want Herman to stay and fight. Give 'em hell, Herman.

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
More than 150 people--including members of the Poet community--came together to celebrate alumnus Hubert Perry's 100th birthday this past Saturday.
Congratulatory remarks on behalf of the College were offered by Elizabeth Power Robison, vice president of advancement. A proclamation honoring Perry was presented by Power Robison, trustees Bill Wood and Ruth B. Shannon, and alumnus Tien Zee '61.
Zee, a successful international entrepreneur, credits his start in business to Perry, who made a personal investment in Zee early on, both with financial and moral support.
"Through it all, Mr. Perry has been a true and loyal friend to the College, continuously helping students achieve their dreams through his personal encouragement, investment, and lively interest," said Power Robison during the presentation. "And that, perhaps, has been his greatest and most lasting legacy to us."
Other prominent local Whittier alumni who were part of the celebration included Bruce Martin '57 and Jerry Morgan '61.
Perry served on the Whittier College Board of Trustees for nearly twenty years, from 1970 until 1988, and he hold the honorable status of trustee emeritus. Perry was recognized by the Alumni Board of Directors in 2005 with the Alumni Achievement Award and in 2008 with the Community Impact Award.
The festivities took place inside the Hubert Perry Pavilion at PIH Health, formerly Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital, in Whittier.
Perry is a long-time resident of the City of Whittier and an active community member.
After graduating from Whittier College with a B.A. in business administration, Perry earned an MBA at Stanford University. In 1942 he took time off from a burgeoning banking career to serve in the U.S. Navy.
After WWII, Perry went on to have a highly successful career with Bank of America. He worked at the bank's headquarters in downtown Los Angeles, where he was a major loan officer overseeing the main office and 83 branches. He retired from banking in 1975.
In the 1950s Perry became the chief banking official involved in the building of Friendly Hills in Whittier. He also co-founded PIH Health in Whittier and was active on two of the hospital's boards for many years. His leadership is credited for making PIH one of the few regional hospitals in California that has been growing and thriving financially through the years.
A contemporary and close friend of Richard M. Nixon '34, Perry helped build the Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, CA.

""Last year, complaints about airlines increased 22%. There were probably more complaints, but the airlines lost them." "
Financing your business jet purchase
Industry experts continue to blame lack of financing for the failure of business jet orders and sales to recover more rapidly since 2008. "Many sales are lost because prospective buyers can't obtain financing or can't obtain it on favorable terms," says Andrew Bradley, president of global sales at Avjet Corporation. Bradley has even seen a bank require its client to buy a newer, significantly more expensive aircraft rather than provide financing for a slightly more than 10-year-old airplane of the same model. Indeed, relatively few business jets acquired last year were financed at all.
You can't blame interest rates for financing deals not getting done. Ultra-high-net-worth individuals can still typically borrow to purchase a business jet at floating rates as low as 2 percent per annum and at fixed rates as low as 3 percent. Fixed rates are popular now among buyers trying to lock in favorable terms on large-ticket purchases. Jim Simpson, who heads up aviation finance at First Republic Bank, says 80 percent of his aircraft-loan clients recently have chosen fixed rates.
If rates are good, where do buyers run into financing woes? Perhaps the biggest issue is that lending institutions today prefer to finance newer aircraft. You can still buy 1960s-vintage jets, but don't count on your bank to help you do so. During the past four years, the average time to sell a Gulfstream GII has exceeded 400 days, so no bank wants to have to foreclose on an aircraft like that, let alone lease it to a customer. Though some financial institutions will consider lending on almost any jet, most want the aircraft to be no older than 20 years when the financing ends, and some shun financings for airplanes older than 10 years. That doesn't mean you can't finance an older model, just that you have to find institutions willing to take on those projects. Banks are also looking for shorter financing terms and amortizations and big down payments—5 to 20 percent or more of the aircraft's value.
The first step to a successful financing is to buy the aircraft right. Banks today are paying special attention to the value of financed airplanes as collateral. In a recent transaction, for example, a bank valued an aircraft for several million dollars less than the buyer was paying and structured the financing accordingly. Consider retaining an acquisition consultant to help assure you (and your bank) that you're getting a good deal on the aircraft.
Lenders are equally picky about customers. Changes in banking regulations will only underscore the importance of the credit quality of borrowers. Banks will need to keep greater credit reserves to make aircraft loans to lesser credits, rendering those financings more expensive. The best aircraft deals will go to investment-grade credits with a longstanding relationship to the lender, assuming the lender doesn't already have too much credit exposure to the borrower. That's one reason it usually makes sense to start your search for aircraft finance by contacting your existing bank.
If you're a high-net-worth individual, that generally means calling on your private bank, assuming it has jet finance expertise. Not only does the private bank already have a fix on your financial position; the rates offered are often extremely competitive. The downside is that many private banks will want the aircraft to serve as collateral for (and the loan to cross-default to) other private bank loans to you and vice versa.
On the other hand, if you want lease financing for the aircraft instead of a loan, you won't find it at your private bank; you'll have to go to institutions that make aircraft leases a specialty. Public companies often choose leases because they help keep the aircraft off the company's balance sheet. That's not a concern for individuals, but leases offer them other advantages. Although individuals find it hard to use the tax advantages of depreciating an aircraft, financial institutions in the business of leasing jets can use the tax deductions against their leasing income—a benefit they typically pass on to the lessee in the form of lower financing costs. Further, as the owner of the aircraft, the bank assumes the risk that its value could plummet over the lease term.
An issue to consider with both leases and loans is how to get out of them. Suppose after a couple of years you decide you aren't using the aircraft enough and would like to unload it. If it is leased, you may not be able to terminate the contract even by paying a penalty, and you may be forced to wait for your next leasehold "early buyout" opportunity or even the end of the lease term. If the early-buyout price is unattractive, the lessor will rarely be open to renegotiating the number.
But aircraft loans have similar problems. Most require you to fork over a hefty penalty for paying off the loan in the first two or three years, and if the rate is fixed using an interest-rate swap agreement, you may face breakage fees for early termination, depending on where rates are at the time.
Another trap that has surfaced more frequently in aircraft loans is the "loan-to-value" covenant. This requires you as the borrower to guarantee that the fair market value of the aircraft remains at some percentage (often 100 percent) of the loan amount. When the airplane's market value declines faster than the loan amortizes, you trip the covenant and must either pay down the loan or put up additional collateral to bring the loan back into compliance.
Negotiating with your bank on such issues can be difficult if your loan has to fit into the institution's pre-established standard aircraft underwriting program. Citi Private Bank's Ford von Weise notes, however, that business jet loans for high-net-worth individuals "never perfectly fit a standard 'out-of-the-box' program." The requirements of ultra-high-net-worth private bank clients vary widely. "Someone who is worth more than $500 million ought to be able to monetize enough net worth annually to handle a $20 million aircraft loan, regardless of how his cash-flow picture might appear under a traditional consumer-oriented program," says von Weise, who heads up Citi's Global Aviation Finance Group. As a result, if you meet the bank's new verifiable-net-worth requirements, Citi can deploy more flexible aircraft lending guidelines to accommodate the unique needs of very wealth buyers.
If you're having trouble financing a jet, you may simply be talking to the wrong institutions. Some banks are basically open for aircraft business only for their existing clients, though they may make an exception if they think they can get more business from you later. Ultra-high-net-worth individuals and companies with investment-grade credit will do well at institutions looking for those customers, while many less-well-heeled borrowers should seek out lenders specializing in asset-based finance with a willingness to structure customized financing arrangements. Different institutions have different niches and requirements, and with a little effort, you should be able to find the right one for you.

I enjoyed your excellent, well-researched article.
Best regards,
Given what has been said regarding the financing situation in the private jet marketplace, there are some planes out there that might not be a severe financial burden. For example, Sirrus's SF50 bizjet according an AIN article is priced below two million dollars. Another new jet that might be attractive would be Honda's new jet, which is priced a little below five million according to a news article.

It's not a special day or anything, but I'd like to take my girl out to a nicer dinner Friday night.
My buddy's girlfriend claims to be a restaurant expert (she's not all together), and recommended freaking Apple Bees. Nothing against Bees, but it's not what I'm looking for here.
The last dinner we went to was Bravo--I'm looking for something very classy, up-scale, not terribly pricy (gotta find a happy medium), somewhere between Canton and maybe a little north of Kent. Somewhere within 35-40 minutes of Kent is ideal.
Steakhouse, Italian, anything but seafood.
Any help, recommendations?

When my wife wasn't getting the desired flavor out of the Dan Cong she bought, I remembered that the shopkeeper was shaking the gaiwan a bit during the tasting session.
I overdid it and shook it pretty hard for 30sec or so and in the next infusion we got a cloudy liquor that got me and my wife feeling pretty spaced out instead of experiencing a better flavor.
Does anybody know what exactly causes this psychotropic effect?
It's definitely not caffeine related.

Ants help kids become scientists
Ants! They are everywhere and can be annoying. They are also perfect science study model for children with the natural instincts of researchers. Young children have curiosity, like to observe, predict, experiment, collect, sort into categories, and report by talking and drawing.
See grandparentsteachtoo.org for more ideas.
What to do
Make a plastic science kit filled with a notepad, pencil, magnifying glass, crayons, tweezers, fork, spoon, and small collection containers.
Count anthills around your home. Their nests have many entries. Why? Are there some with entry holes bigger than others? Why is that? Scuff up a few anthills and check them the next day. Did the worker ants rebuild or make a new one nearby? Check under rocks or logs, too.
Ants are insects always on the move. Unless you find a large black carpenter ant, you might want to check out Google ant images to help children draw a picture. Use circles and ovals to draw a head with eyes, mandibles (jaws), antennae, thorax, abdomen and six legs.
While drawing, mention a few facts. North America has 1,000 different kinds of ants and their anthills can be four yards deep. Ants often bite when disturbed so use a stick to pick them up. They have acid venom that hurts.
Nest chambers hold eggs, larvae, pupa, and adults (four stages), the queen, food, and garbage. Majors (old ants), minors, and minims plus captured servants are different colors.
Ants with wings (kings and queens) usually appear in spring, have a marriage flight, and most die. Queens will find a place to build a new nest and raise 2,000 – 10,000 female workers.
If ants were people they could travel 16 yards in two blinks of an eye. Measure that out and let children run. How many (seconds) does it take them?
What do ants eat?
Ants eat sugar like honey and sap for energy and other insects and seeds for strength. An anthill can capture 2,400 insects per day. A worker can find a dead fly outside the nest within one minute. In ten minutes the fly will be in the nest. Children can place a dead fly and observe what happens. Ants can walk with an object 5 times its weight and drag 25 times its weight. That is like a young child carrying 200 pounds and dragging 1,000 pounds.
One morning place a tin foil plate with small circles of watered honey, sugar, milk, meat, cheese and candy next to an active anthill. Check the plate in the evening. What did they take? Can you find a procession of ants? What happens when ants encounter aphids?
There are many stories about ants including " The Ant and the Grasshopper" fable.

I think RB is correct in it being at a very nice price point.
One tea from Scott i have great hopes for is the 2009 Yunnan Sourcing "Wu Liang Lan Xiang". I have sampled it some time ago, and it aged very well and quick for such a short time. Given that - this might be an ideal tea for the lesser humid climates.
The price is very reasonable. While the 2009 tea is out of stock, the same tea from the same location of later years is still available:

So it's very hard, if possible at all, to tell whether the age-ability is caused by regional characters of tea leaves or other factors.
Besides, not all people desire the same type of ageness. And it may or may not be a bad thing if a tea reaches its peak age earlier than another one.
lordsbm wrote:I believe every tea have their own aging flavors. How good it is really depends on who's drinking it. Facts and figures doesn't represent ones personal taste. No right and wrong.

Lockheed Martin Second Quarter Profits, F-35 Production Increase
Lockheed Martin is not seeing as much of an impact from government spending cuts as it predicted earlier this year, as the aerospace and defense manufacturer reported net earnings of $859 million for the second quarter of 2013, a 10 percent increase over the same period 2012.
Quarterly sales reached $11.4 billion, a 4 percent drop from the second quarter of 2012, when the company reported $11.9 billion in quarterly sales. Earlier this year, Lockheed projected a loss of $825 million in anticipated annual revenue from sequestration.
Lockheed's F-35 program, which has been mired by delays, showed increased production volume during the second quarter.
"Net sales increased by approximately $175 million from F-35 production contracts due to increased production volume and higher risk retirements," Lockheed said in its quarterly report.
Marilyn Hewson, chief executive of Lockheed Martin, told reporters she believes they're making "good progress" in negotiations with the Pentagon for the next two production lots of F-35 fighter jets, and hopes to complete an agreement in the near future.
Despite the boost from its F-35 program, overall profit within Lockheed's aeronautics unit decreased to $407 million, down from $454 million a year earlier, which the company attributed to lower net sales from F-16 programs.

With that said, since it sounds like your going tomorrow, get there early to avoid the crowds or later in the day when the vendors will wheel 'n deal (but your selection will also be less). Once again, if you've never been, then it'll probably take you an hour just to walk thru and check out everything before you start buying. The produce vendors are in the outside (northeast) building and everything else is in the main building...Places I always hit up:Sebastians Meats (NW corner)- They have anything you're looking for in beef, pork & veal. Always slaughtered fresh. Try the Ossu Buso. They'll negotiate on quantity.Kaufmann Poultry (SW corner)- They'll have your rabbit. This place has been around since the beginning, you'll be able to find anything from chicken to duck to quail to squabCzuchraj Meats (SE corner)- Best beef jerky & smokies anywhere. This is the place Michael Symon had on "Best Things". If it's cured, it's here.Foster's Meats (NE corner)- If ya want lamb, goat or bison? This is itKate's Fish (NE corner)- If it lives in the water, they have itMediterra Bakehouse (across from Czuchray's)- Fresh bread & bagelsK&K Bakery (next to Kate's Fish)- If there's a better tasting strudel in town, I've yet to have itSteve's Gyros (across from Kate's)- If the line isn't too bad, get THE best gyro ever...If you're not hungry then get a pound of meat to go and make em at home, you won't be disappointedAs far as venison, you'll have to search the butchers to see who has what in stock...Have fun and don't touch any of the outside brick walls because rumor has it, JB pissed everywhere after Iggy's final bell rang

About an hour later it began to fill up all over. Got some pierogies from the Pierogi Palace. They really expanded their fillings.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD – (Jan. 27, 2011) – The President's Interfaith Prayer Breakfast scheduled for Friday, Feb. 25, signals the start of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's 2011 homecoming celebration.
Justine Willis Toms, a radio talk-show hostess and author of "Small Pleasures: Finding Grace in a Chaotic World" will serve as keynote speaker. Also appearing will be the Rev. Mishael Miller of Baltimore, an inspirational music-ministry vocalist.
The breakfast begins at 8 a.m. in the UMES Student Services Center ballroom. Tickets are $40 each, or $350 for a table of 10.
For UMES President Thelma B. Thompson, watching an idea she had when she took office in 2002 develop into a popular, annual event – especially in the local, faith-based community – is among her most satisfying professional accomplishments.
"The aim of the prayer breakfast is to bring us together," Dr. Thompson said. "It's done a wonderful job of sensitizing those of us who take away so much from this fellowship event with the faith needs of the community."
Thompson enjoys listening to Toms' radio program and extended her a personal invitation to speak at this year's breakfast.
Toms and her husband, Michael, can be heard Sundays at 2 p.m. on WESM-FM (91.3) as co-hosts of an hour-long show, "New Dimensions."
Toms is co-founder and managing producer of New Dimensions Media/World Broadcasting Network and New Dimensions Radio, a nonprofit, educational organization that produces and distributes motivational radio programming heard around the world. She describes its mission as "a vortex for launching new trends, revealing timeless wisdom, and pushing the boundaries of form, language and spirit."
Over the past four decades, the couple is credited with creating "a powerful and transformative archive with leading-edge thinkers, spiritual leaders, change agents, indigenous voices, artists, scientists, healers, ecologists and social architects."
Toms was among 30 people invited to participate in the Synthesis Dialogues with the Dalai Lama in June 2004.
Following the Feb. 25 prayer breakfast at UMES, Toms will be available to sign her latest book, "Small Pleasures: Finding Grace in a Chaotic World."
The Rev. Miller has been a music instructor in several central Maryland public school systems and sings the national anthem at sporting events. Currently, he serves as assistant pastor of Pennsylvania Avenue A.M.E. Zion Church in Baltimore.
