Corky Romano Movie Online
Corky Romano is a 2001 American mafia comedy film starring former Saturday Night Live cast member Chris Kattan. Also starring are Fred Ward, Vinessa Shaw, Chris Penn, and Peter Berg. The movie was produced by Robert Simond, directed by Rob Pritts, and was written by David Garrett and Jason Ward. It was filmed at Touchstone Pictures studios. In the movie, Kattan plays the titular character Corky Romano, a veterinarian who is forced by his mobster family to infiltrate the local FBI facility to steal evidence incriminating his father, Mafia boss Francis A. "Pops" Romano (Peter Falk), of racketeering charges. It first opened in theaters on October 12, 2001. Veterinary assistant Corky Romano (Chris Kattan) having been banished from his family after the death of his mother, is unaware of their underworld connections until he receives a call from his father, "Pops" (Peter Falk) a Mafia crime lord. Pops has been indicted on racketeering charges, and, knowing that the prosecutors have a strong case against him, has concluded that the only solution is to somehow destroy the evidence held by the FBI. At the family mansion, an ailing and bedridden Pops convinces Corky to infiltrate the local FBI office, since the Romano family cannot send anyone with known underworld connections, such as Corky's brothers Paulie (Peter Berg) and Peter (Chris Penn). With the aid of a computer hacker, Corky is able to obtain a false name ("Agent Corky Pissant pronounced 'peesohn'...It's, you know, French!"), background, and résumé. He gains access to the local FBI office, where he discovers from office chief Howard Schuster that, according to his résumé, "Pissant" graduated from Harvard, can speak five hundred different languages, is an expert sharpshooter and has a black belt in the martial art "yan mu kwan."

- Your one-stop shop for all money matters
It is a model of stability. Manager Job Curtis has been at the helm since 1991. His philosophy is to look for those companies which can provide steady, long-term growth, compounded over time, with no nasty surprises.
As a result, his portfolio reads like a roll call of the great and good in British business – Unilever, GlaxoSmithKline, HSBC, BP, and British American Tobacco. Mr Curtis invests with not only an eye to the potential returns from any holding, but also with a forensic analysis of any downside risks. It may not be exciting, but it is not designed to be; it is firmly positioned as a steady, dependable option for a turbulent world.
This does not translate into knock-out performance, but the trust has still beaten the FTSE All Share index over five years with a return of 83% versus 60%. Investors would expect the trust to do better than its peers at times of market turbulence; resilience over racy.
Another key selling point for the trust is that it has grown its dividends every year for the past 50 years. This is a key priority for Mr Curtis. "We focus on dividend sustainability and growth as well as capital growth," he says. "We believe that's an important anchor. This helps us to avoid the noise of the market."
Finding companies with good cash generation is vital for Mr Curtis. This enables companies to pay their dividend and grow it over time. It's not exciting, but the trust should be a steady ship in a turbulent world.
If you own shares in a company, you're entitled to a slice of the profits and these are paid as dividends on top of any capital growth in the shares' value. The amount of the dividend is down to the board of directors (who can decide not to pay a dividend and reinvest any profits in the company) and they will be paid twice yearly (announced at the AGM and six months later as an interim). Dividends are always declared as a sum of money rather than a percentage of the share's price. Although dividends automatically receive a 10% tax credit from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), which takes the company having already paid corporation tax on its profits into account. Dividends are classed as income and, as such, are liable for personal taxation and so shareholders have to declare them to HMRC.

Screening design for computer experiments: Metamodelling of a deterministic mathematical model of the mammalian circadian clock

Computer simulations are faster and cheaper than physical experiments. Still, if the system has many factors to be manipulated, experimental designs may be needed in order to make computer experiments more cost-effective. Determining the relevant parameter ranges within which to set up a factorial experimental design is a critical and difficult step in the practical use of any formal statistical experimental planning, be it for screening or optimisation purposes. Here we show how a sparse initial range finding design based on a reduced multi-factor multi-level design method-the multi-level binary replacement (MBR) design-can reveal the region of relevant system behaviour. The MBR design is presently optimised by generating a number of different confounding patterns and choosing the one giving the highest score with respect to a space-spanning criterion. The usefulness of this optimised MBR (OMBR) design is demonstrated in an example from systems biology: A multivariate metamodel, emulating a deterministic, nonlinear dynamic model of the mammalian circadian clock, is developed based on data from a designed computer experiment. In order to allow the statistical metamodel to represent all aspects of the biologically relevant model behaviour, the relevant parameter ranges have to be spanned. The use of an initial OMBR design for finding the widest possible parameter ranges resulting in a stable limit cycle for the mammalian circadian clock model is demonstrated. The same OMBR design is subsequently applied within the selected, relevant sub-region of the parameter space to develop a functional metamodel based on PLS regression. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The flavor of apples after storage is important to the consumers. Most often factors like decay, firmness and the contents of soluble solids and acidity are regarded as the limiting factors for storability of apples. The amount of volatile aroma compounds is less studied. Using head space analyses the amounts of 8 compounds known to be important to aroma of apples were studied during storage. Some compounds increased while others decreased during storage. Apples of three cultivars and from trees treated with foliar fertilization with nitrogen and calcium were included. The early ripening cultivar 'Discovery' had more aroma compounds in November and less in February. In the late ripening cultivar 'Elstar' the content of aroma compounds was low in November. However, the amounts were more than doubled in February. The foliar fertilization with nitrogen tended to reduce the amount of aroma compounds while the highest content was found in apples from trees treated with calcium. However, these tendencies were not statistically significant. In 'Discovery' the content of aroma compounds may be a limiting factor to the storability of this cultivar. Source

Each data-driven action in data modelling consumes degrees of freedom, whether it concerns estimation of parameters, estimation of meta-parameters or selecting variables. By using a double cross validation approach for degrees of freedom calculation the costs for meta-parameter estimation and variable selection can be determined explicitly. The only assumptions are independent and identically distributed errors, which make the approach applicable to many predictive modelling techniques. © 2013. Source
Effects of storage atmosphere and heme state on the color and visible reflectance spectra of salmon (Salmo salar) fillets

It has previously been observed that the color of mackerel muscle is dependent on the status of heme as myoglobin and hemoglobin and hence the storage atmosphere. This study gives strong indications of this being the case also in salmon. Three different storage conditions were used to promote the oxidized, reduced, and carbon monoxide (CO) bound forms of heme in salmon and mackerel fillets. Color determination (instrumental color analysis, imaging, and sensory evaluation) and spectroscopic measurements were performed to study how spectral changes corresponded to color variations. Storage in CO significantly increased the redness in mackerel. This was also seen in salmon to such a degree that it was visible over normal levels of salmon carotenoids. Air storage increased the yellowness and reduced the redness in mackerel, but this effect was partly concealed in salmon by the astaxanthin absorption. The spectral differences due to storage condition could be ascribed to the spectral features characterizing heme of different oxidation states and bound to different ligands. The status of heme should therefore always be considered when experiments related to salmon color are performed. The findings could help in the understanding, control, and prediction of color loss in salmon during processing, storage, and transport. © 2011 American Chemical Society. Source
Effect of varying optical properties on the modeling of astaxanthin concentration in salmon by visible spectroscopy

Aquaculture | Year: 2012
The purpose of this work was to investigate how natural changes in optical properties in salmon muscle during storage affected the color of salmon and the prediction of astaxanthin based on spectroscopic measurements. Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were stored for 6. days at 2-4°C and measured once per day by an interactance probe at 449-744. nm. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) images were taken and were used to calculate average L*a*b* values and redness index (a*/b*). The interactance data revealed a systematic time dependent variation in the absorption at 450 and 600. nm. The redness index increased and the L* value decreased during storage. Partial least squares regression was used to calibrate the interactance spectra from day one against values of astaxanthin determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The calibration model was then used to predict astaxanthin concentrations in the same samples based on spectroscopic measurements performed during the following days. The optical changes were large enough to affect the prediction errors of astaxanthin significantly. A storage time of six days before measurement more than doubled the prediction errors compared to applying the models on data collected after two days. These results demonstrate the importance of keeping full control of the storage time and conditions, when making and applying spectroscopy based models for astaxanthin quantification. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

City administrators in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan are reviewing a proposed anti-bullying bylaw aimed at anyone over the age of 12. The original legislation would give officials the ability to fine people up to $2500 for engaging in "taunting, tormenting, name calling, ridiculing, insulting, mocking and directing slurs towards another person."
Most councilors agreed that that wording was too broad, but can any law curb bullying, or does the onus rest on parents to tell their kids not to be bullies, and educate children on how to deal with bullying?

Lorentz, South Africa. 2 August 2016
You have to cover everything you do not want to paint. Painting itself is a breeze. Love it.
Christian, South Africa. 9 August 2016
Excellent, the spray is nice and fine with a great finish, you also dont have to dilute the paint. Cleaning it is not too much of a mission.
Nevendran, South Africa. 25 May 2016
Product is cumbersome and difficult to use compared to a conventional roller brush.
The paint particles get aerolised and form a thick mist in an enclosed area. Once the spray particles settle, it coats all surfaces it falls on - therefore in a closed area, the entire room needs to be covered with paper etc.
It might work better outdoors.

IP-6 (inositol hexaphosphate) is a component of certain dietary fibers, particularly most cereal grains, legumes and seeds high in oil. Many researchers believe that some of fiber's health benefits may be due to the antioxidant, immune enhancing, and cardiovascular supporting activities of IP-6. In-vitro and animal research has shown IP-6 to have significant protective and growth regulating effects on various cells and tissues including those of the colon, breast, and prostate. Source Naturals IP-6 Powder contains 2,500 mg of IP-6, free of other active ingredients. Only IP-6 in this form has consistently demonstrated positive research results.

IP-6 powder
I have been taking this powder at high doses now for a long time. It is a bit gritty and doesn't taste well but I off set that by adding some stevia. Specially when taking it in high doses as recommended by my doctor it saves a lot of money. It helps with sleep and whenever I slack off my cholesterol numbers go up. I have been very happy with it.

Taste okay
Posted by Reviewer1330467 on Nov 07, 2011
I don't mind the taste unlike other people. Sort of a chemical taste. I'm certain it would be better to mix with juice. I am using it as a preventive measurement towards cancer.
For IRON Reduction
Posted by Reviewer3181824 on Dec 27, 2010
I take IP-6 to reduce the iron in my body. Iron is a highly oxidative element. If you're not anemic, then you should be taking IP-6 for a better and longer life.

These technicians are also responsible for inventory, stocking materials and aiding the front office staff when necessary, and they must be familiar with risk management and be able to manage checklists for various office tasks.
Close attention to detail and commitment to cleanliness are important in this position, and these technicians must display excellent customer service skills and maintain friendly and professional relationships with both customers/clients and therapists. A high level of professionalism in patient communications is required at all times, and they must also be willing to reach out to industry contacts to expand existing business and generate new leads.

Rehabilitation Therapy Technicians with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally.

Rehabilitation Therapy Technicians see a median salary of $28K after reaching one to two decades on the job. In the end, more experience does seem to mean larger paychecks; seasoned Rehabilitation Therapy Technicians with more than 20 years of experience earn a predictably higher median salary of $30K.

Religious Transformation in South Asia by Christopher Harding
Book DescriptionIn the last decades of the nineteenth century, urgent and unprecedented demands among oppressed peoples in colonial India drove what came to be called 'mass conversion movements' towards a range of Christian denominations, launching a revolution in South Asia's two thousand-year Christian history. For all the scale, drama, and lasting controversy of a movement that approached half a million members in Punjab alone by the end of the 1930s, much actually depended upon a varied range of tempestuous local relationships between converts and mission personnel, based upon uncertain and constantly evolving terms. Making extensive use of Protestant Evangelical and newly-uncovered Catholic mission sources, Religious Transformation in South Asia explores those relationships to reveal what lay behind the great diversity of social and religious aspirations of converts and mission personnel. In this highly accessible study, Christopher Harding overturns the one-dimensional Christian missions of popular imagination by analysing the way that social class, theological training, culture, motivation, and personality produced an extraordinary range of presentations of 'Christianity' in late colonial Punjab. Punjabi converts themselves were animated by a similarly broad spectrum of expectations and pressures, communicated through informal social networks and representing a brand of subaltern consciousness and resistance rarely considered by mainstream Indian historiography. These internal dynamics produced a first generation of rural Punjabi Christianity that was locally variable, highly fluid, and conflict-ridden-testament to the ways in which the meanings of conversion were contested by all sides in an encounter with far-reaching implications for the future of Christianity and religious identity in India and Pakistan.

Author Biography - Christopher Harding
My research interests lie in that modern meeting and mingling of European and Asian religious cultures which has affected everything from philosophy and popular religious experience on both continents to social work and policy, political ideology, and ideas about mental and spiritual health. Following many months of archival research and field work in India, Europe, and the UK, and the successful examination of my thesis, I went to live in Japan from September 2004 on a Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation Scholarship to begin comparative South Asia - Japan research alongside intensive language and journalistic training. I returned to the UK two years later, towards the end of 2006, to begin my current post at Edinburgh University, where I teach a range of courses on South Asia and Japan.

Transportation Security:
TSA Has Made Progress in Implementing the Transportation Worker Identification Credential Program, but Challenges Remain
GAO-08-133T: Published: Oct 31, 2007. Publicly Released: Oct 31, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is developing the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) to help ensure that only workers who are not known to pose a terrorist threat are allowed to enter secure areas of the nation's transportation facilities. This testimony is based primarily on GAO's September 2006 report on the TWIC program, and interviews with TSA and maritime industry officials conducted in September and October 2007 to obtain updates on the TWIC program. Specifically, this testimony addresses (1) the progress TSA has made since September 2006 in implementing the TWIC program and addressing GAO recommendations; and (2) some of the remaining challenges that TSA and the maritime industry must overcome to ensure the successful implementation of the program.
Since GAO reported on TWIC in September 2006, TSA has made progress in implementing the program. Although GAO has not yet independently assessed the effectiveness of these efforts, TSA has taken actions to address legislative requirements to implement and test the program as well as address GAO's recommendations related to conducting additional systems testing, strengthening contractor oversight, and improving coordination with stakeholders. Specifically, TSA has issued a rule in January 2007 that sets forth the requirements for enrolling maritime workers in the TWIC program and issuing cards to these workers, and awarded a $70 million dollar contract to begin enrolling workers; reported conducting performance testing of the technologies that will be used to enroll workers in the TWIC program to ensure that they work effectively before implementation; begun planning a pilot program to test TWIC access control technologies at 5 maritime locations in accordance with the Security and Accountability for Every Port Act; begun enrolling workers and issuing TWIC cards at the port of Wilmington, Delaware on October 16, 2007, and plans to do so at 11 additional ports by November 2007; added additional staff with program and contract management expertise to help oversee the TWIC enrollment contract; and stated that they have taken actions to improve communication and coordination with maritime stakeholders. As TSA moves forward with TWIC, it and maritime industry stakeholders will be faced with addressing the following key challenges that can affect the programs' successful implementation. TSA and its contractor will need to transition from testing of the TWIC program to successful implementation of the program on a larger scale covering 770,000 workers at about 3,200 maritime facilities and 5,300 vessels. TSA and its contractor will need to educate workers on new TWIC requirements, ensure that enrollments begin in a timely manner, and efficiently process background checks, appeals, and waivers. TSA and industry stakeholders will need to ensure that TWIC access control technologies work effectively in the maritime environment, and balance new security requirements while facilitating maritime commerce.

Men of action
From Pitti Uomo: Dockers' three different lines
Dockers has wanted to dedicate its A/W 12 collection to real men, as they used to be. Unfortunately today's fashion tends to often satisfy more that category of men that always looks in the mirror, forgetting about those guys, workers, adventurers, that want to feel comfortable, but with a detailed and versatile look.
This is the reason that the brand is aiming on three main lines, dedicated precisely to men "of action": Dockers Alpha, with a strong aesthetic and with character, Dockers Alpha Khaki, with a casual but more refined style (beautiful trousers in ribbed velvet), and, lastly, Dockers SF Khaki, refined and elegant while keeping in mind comfort.

OIES trying to fuel debate on energy markets, says Fattouh
"There's no single truth in these markets," argues institute director
Strong and widely divergent views sit at the heart of almost every debate in energy markets – whether it is the impact of speculation on oil prices, the easiest way to reduce carbon emissions, or the merits of using derivatives to manage risk. With a diverse range of stakeholders – including governments, regulators, corporations, environmentalists, commodity traders and industrial consumers – the viewpoints of energy market actors can often be poles apart.

Read an Excerpt
Hearing a ruckus in the backyard, Steph leaped from the kitchen chair and darted to the patio door. She slid it open with a thud and stepped outside. "Fred. Stop."
The yips and barks split the air while Fred wagged his tail and leaped along the fence with a shaggy gray mop of a dog on the other side.
Steph's gaze shifted to a man leaning against the fence, her new neighbor she presumed. An amiable grin curved his full lips, and he gazed at her with twinkling saddle-brown eyes.
"Fred. Come." She clapped her hands to get her border collie's attention. He twisted his neck, and she could see his struggle to respond to her call or to stay with his nose against the chain-link fence while his shaggy friend mesmerized him. Finally Fred bounded toward her.
Steph approached the stranger, who lifted his hand in welcome and then ran his fingers through his dark brown, wavy hair. It looked tousled and made him seem playful. As she studied his classic good looks, Fred tangled around her feet, and she nearly tripped. So did her pulse.
The stranger gestured toward Fred. "It's nice to see another dog in the neighborhood and right next door."
Steph chuckled. "Not everyone feels like that." She'd forced the levity, startled by the sensation she'd felt when she looked in his eyes. She lowered her gaze to his ring finger. Bare.
What was she thinking? Steph released a puff of air and managed to meet his gaze again.
He grinned. "I'm getting a kick out of the dogs."
"I noticed." His warm smile heated her face.
He grasped the fence rail and tilted back on his heels. She watched as he lowered his body to the fence again, as if thinking of what to say next. She forced her focus away from his arms.
He straightened. "I hope I didn't disturb you."
"You didn't disturb me at all." Not true. His beautiful eyes disturbed her. "But Fred and his furry friend did." Furry friend? She cringed listening to herself. She sounded like an idiot.
"My furry friend is Suzette."
Happy to have another place to focus, she looked at the slate-gray dog, its eyes nearly covered by long silky bangs. "Nice to meet you, Suzette." Managing to get her wits under control, Steph lifted her head. "And nice to meet you, too." She extended her hand. "Stephanie Wright. Steph to my friends."
"A pleasure." He gave her fingers an easy squeeze. "Nick Davis." He smiled and tilted his head toward the dogs. "They seem to like each other. It's too bad people can't make friends that easily."
She eyed the dogs, grinning at their wagging tails and their snouts sniffing against the chain links. "You mean, as easily as rubbing our noses together?"
His grin broadened. "Sure, if we were Eskimos." He winked.
Why had she said "our" noses? Noses would have been bad enough. Feeling the heat reach her cheeks, she averted her eyes. While she grappled with her discomfort, she watched the dogs' antics. Fred appeared smitten.
When her cheeks cooled, Steph decided the dogs were safer conversation. "Your dog looks like a big rag mop. What breed is she?"
Nick's dark eyes twinkled. "A Bouvier."
"Bouvier. So that's what they look like."
He glanced over his shoulder, appearing to look for an intruder, then leaned closer as if sharing a secret. His breath whispered against her cheek. "If you ask my brother her breed, he'd tell you Suzette is a Bouvier des Flandres. She's actually Martin's dog." He drew back, giving her a crooked grin. "Martin thinks it sounds classier."
"Well, la-di-da." La-di-da? Get a grip. She had to stop herself from rolling her eyes. "Fred's just a border collie from Michigan." Steph hoped she sounded sane.
"But a very nice one, I'm sure."
He'd ignored her lunacy or else didn't notice. That made her feel better.
"Martin's pitiful with his pretentiousness at times. I don't know where he gets it."
Steph appreciated the distraction. "I'd like to strangle my brother once in a while." More often than she wanted to remember. He'd upset her much too often. "My parents were thrilled to finally have a son to carry on the family name, and Hal knew it. He seemed to think he'd been born with a crown, and he expected us to bow to his every need."
She peered at Fred, his tail slapping against the grass.
"Fred usually doesn't carry on like that. He's used to being around other dogs."
"Suzette's a flirt." Nick flashed Steph a grin, then crouched down and put his finger through the chain link. "Is she playing with your heart, old man?"
Fred gave his finger a sniff and then swiped it with his tongue.
Suzette had no intention of being outdone. She wiggled between Fred and Nick, then nuzzled her nose against the links. Nick petted her, then looked up at Steph. "If you're not familiar with a Bouvier, feel her coat."
Steph leaned over the fence and drew her hand across the dog's fur. "She's not a rag mop at all. She feels like chenille."
He ran his fingers through her coat, too, their hands brushing against each other's, and when he rose, they stood eye to eye.
Something happened. Her stomach flipped, and she felt out of control. Steph motioned toward the patio door. "It's been nice, but I need to get inside. This is housework day for me."
His lips curved to a teasing frown. "That doesn't sound like fun." He shoved his hand into his pocket. "It's been nice talking with you, Steph." His brow arched. "I hope it's okay to call you that."
"Consider yourself a friend."
"I'd like that." He took a step backward. "Maybe we could walk the dogs one day. They seem to get along well."
Her stomach shot to her chest, and her response followed at the same speed. "We have a park nearby." She swung her hand in that direction. "That would be fun."
He stepped back. "Great. I'll talk with you again." He backed away, then pivoted and headed toward the house with Suzette bouncing beside him.
Fred let out a whimper and so did Steph.
She made her way to the patio and through the door, then caved into the same kitchen chair she'd been sitting on before the distraction. She'd flirted with the man. Flirting wasn't her style, and on top of it, she'd talked about rubbing noses. Where did that come from?
Steph rolled her eyes as she got up and opened the refrigerator. She pulled out a soft drink, snapped the tab and took a swallow before leaning against the kitchen counter. She'd been a widow four years, and as time passed, she'd decided relationships were too difficult. Before he'd died, Doug had drifted from her like bubbles on the wind. She reached out to grasp him, and he vanished. Her life became dark, but these past years, she'd finally found the light. Artificial light sometimes, but she'd learned to keep her eyes wide-open. Today she'd squinted and look what happened.
Steph pulled her spine from the counter and grasped the dust cloth and lemony spray. Back to work and forget the few moments of backyard fantasy. Reality made more sense.
Nick stood inside the house and gazed through the window at Steph as she strode toward her patio door. Her straight blond hair whisked against her shoulders. The woman put a grin on his face. She loved that dog. Fred. The name gave him a chuckle. The border collie seemed well behaved and friendly. So did Steph. His mouth pulled to a grin again.
He rested his hand on the windowsill as he watched Fred trot beside her. Steph's large blue eyes, canopied by long lashes, reminded him of a summer sky. He'd been drawn to her blunt comments, especially the witty ones that made him smile. And she'd flirted, but in a nice way. She'd even flushed. His pulse heightened, picturing her playfulness.
The garage door rumbled and dragged him from his thoughts. Nick heard a car door slam. Then the garage door closed and he listened for his brother's footsteps.
Martin came through the doorway with a puzzled look. "What are you doing here?
"Want me to leave?" Nick didn't wait for an answer. He opened the refrigerator and gazed inside.
"You can't afford your own food with that business of yours?"
Nick's back stiffened. When it came to his business, Martin's humor grated on his nerves. He forced himself to let it go, then faced his brother. "You asked me to drop by to walk your dog and feed her because you're too busy. Now you begrudge me a drink?" He pulled out a cola and popped the tab. "I stopped by to offer my service."
"Service?" Distrust grew on Martin's face.
Nick motioned toward the boxes. "Thought I'd help you unpack."
His chin raised as he eyed Nick. "Unpack? Why?"
"Why not? If you tell me where you want things, I'll unpack some of the cartons or they'll be there forever."
A questioning look filled Martin's face. "You're not looking for a handout?"
"No handouts." The reference stabbed Nick in the gut. He'd never asked Martin for anything, and he never would.
"You really want to unpack boxes? Are you sure?"
The response relaxed Martin's expression. He tilted his head toward the largest stack of cartons. "I guess you can start over there."
Nick had stretched the truth a bit. Not that he hadn't planned to help, but his offer was the way to a means. He needed to work it into the conversation without making a big deal out of it although it was to him. He could ask point-blank, but he preferred to ease it in. Martin enjoyed pointing out his guilt.
He hoisted a heavy box onto the table and flipped open the lid. "By the way, I met your neighbor."
Martin grunted.
"She's very nice."
"She?" Martin arched an eyebrow.
Nick nodded. "Good sense of humor. Attractive."
"What does that mean?" Martin's voice left no question that he was aggravated.
Nick swiveled. "It means she's a pretty woman." Pretty wasn't the half of it. She was great looking. "And she likes dogs."
A dark frown filled Martin's face. "I hope you're not matchmaking."
"You're kidding? I wouldn't put a lovely woman through that." Nick had tried to sound lighthearted.
"Glad to hear it."
Nick avoided looking in Martin's direction. His brother would see the truth in his eyes. He'd been drawn to Steph from the moment he watched her march across the grass, and the more he thought about it, an unsettled feeling rocked in his stomach. Nick dug deeper into the box.
The rustle of packing material quieted, and their conversation ended until Martin blurted into the silence. "What makes you think this woman likes dogs?"
"She owns a border collie."
"Seems like everyone owns some kind of mutt." Irritation weighted Martin's voice.
"Attitude. Attitude, bro. Suzette's not the only dog in the world." Steph's spoiled brother had nothing on the Bouvier. Suzette also wore a crown in Martin's eyes. Nick pulled out more packing material from the box. "He might not be as classy, but he's a well-trained dog. That's more than I can say about Suzette."
Martin spun around to face him, but Nick refused to back off. "The border collie's friendly. Give him a chance. I know how you are."
"I don't want him getting friendly with Suzette. She's purebred."
Despite his provocation, Nick tried to cover his grin, thinking of Steph's "la-di-da" comment.
Rather than start a quarrel, Nick didn't respond. "Where do you want the china dinnerware?"
Martin didn't speak but motioned to a cabinet.
Nick opened the door, then lifted an octagonal plate with a bamboo shaped edge and slid it onto a shelf. Expensive he could tell. He grabbed another and flipped it over. Royal Signet China. Nick never heard of it, but he knew Martin's taste.
His own taste raised in question. What had happened to him? He'd never cared about fancy china or expensive crystal. Women often fussed about that, he remembered. What kind of tableware did Steph own? What difference did it make? He'd never see it.
He emptied the box, then slapped the lid closed. He'd already experienced one fiancée who tossed her ring in his face just before the wedding. Why would he allow himself to even daydream about another?
The memory triggered a new question. He paused until he got Martin's attention. "Have you ever thought about dating again?"
Martin's head drew back. "Me?"
"You're the only other person in the room." Nick stood with his hand on the box lid. Martin's social life ended after his failed marriage. He'd never been one to hang out with friends, and Nick didn't recall Martin dating anyone other than the woman he'd married.
"Why would I date?"
"You have a good life. You have a new home that's too big for even one person."
"One person and a dog."
"Okay, and a dog." A stream of air burst from his nose. "I just wondered. You're still young enough. You've been divorced for—"
"Don't bring that up."
Nick drew in a breath. "You have lots of things going for you, but for some reason, you aren't happy."
"I'm happy." Martin spun around, pointing his index finger at him. "And what about you? I don't see you with a social life to brag about."
His brother had nailed him. But Nick had an excuse. The business took a lot of time and money. Nick faltered. That was an excuse. He'd avoided commitment since his failed engagement. Maybe dating would work without marriage as an option. He wondered about Steph's situation. She was single, he assumed. He'd noticed she didn't wear a ring, and she'd even flirted a little. But that didn't mean much in today's society.
Nick opened another carton and removed layers of Bubble Wrap. When he looked inside, he caught his breath. He grasped a crystal plate as memories flooded back. He drew out a faceted crystal bowl, and beside it, he recognized other pieces from his youth. "These were Mother's." Sadness washed over him, picturing his mom since the stroke.
Martin glanced up and nodded. "You took some of her dishes, didn't you?"
"A few things."
Tension grew on his brother's face.
"I'm not challenging the pieces you have, Martin. You use them more than I would."
His brother gave a shrug and lifted another box from the floor.
The door had been opened to his true purpose for dropping by. Feeling the weight of his question, Nick managed to form the words. "Have you talked with her?"
"By her, you mean Mom?"
The question was moot. Nick didn't answer.
"I've talked to her. She can't utter a thing that makes sense." He turned from the carton and leaned against the counter, his eyes piercing Nick's. "You're avoiding her."
The words lashed Nick like a whip. "I'm not avoiding her. It kills me to see her so helpless."
"You don't think it kills me? Ignoring her doesn't help. Do you think I don't have to force myself to visit her in that condition and fill the time with one-sided conversation? You can't shun her. She's still your mother."
"I know. I know." Nick blocked his ears from Martin's accusations. "I visit."
"When was the last time?"
Like a punch in the stomach, Martin's question knocked the wind out of Nick. "I'll go. I just wondered if there's any improvement."
"Not much. She tries to talk, but it's nearly impossible to understand her. The nurses do a better job than I do."
Knots twisted in Nick's chest. His mother was a good woman, and the horrible stroke had taken away her identity. She couldn't do much for herself. She lay there being fed and diapered like a baby. The image tore at him.
"I'll go this week. I promise."

"You can if you can get it to go through the item you are using. Some things are hard for the drill sothat is why the electric one is better. I love making my own things to because you can make them as unique as you want them and no one else will have the same thing. I see so many wonderful things in thrift stores, yard sales or flea markets that I like but do know what to do with and now I do and you are right it is so cost effective and cute."
"This is another super way to plant your succulents with something fun and not just a plain boring pot. I love these cute concrete designs and the faces on them. I never realized that it was so easy to make one of these by using empty soda bottles and the concrete. these would look so cute indoors or out on the patio. How about painting them in glow in the dark paint in different colors for your deck. Wouldn't that look neat. Great tutorial and a video with another kind of planter using a water bottle."
"There at no limits to what you can recycle today and I am so happy to see new things pop up. The hamster wheel wreath is such a cool idea and a great way to plant succulents a different way then just sticking them in pots. I do not see these metal wheels that much any more most are plastic now but if I come across one I will pick it up and try this. I do not have luck with growing these succulents they always die so I am looking to find new ways to try. Anyone looking for something new here is a good one."
"I tried growing strawberries years ago for about 3 season and everyone had success but me so I gave up. I really want to try again and was looking for a good way to plant them and I came across this tutorial. I am going to give this a try because I love fresh strawberries. I love when someone who has tried it and made mistakes lets you know what happened and then tells what worked for them the next time so we do not make that mistake too. Now all I have to do is find my pots or find some and get to work. Can you do beans and cucumbers like that too? Anyone know?"
"I like to recycle and this is a great way to recycle paper towel or even toilet paper rolls instead of throwing them away. I wonder just like jobers77 asked if the brown paper will degrade ? How about the paper towel and toilet paper rolls? This is a great way to start those seeds and keep them warm while they are growing. Add some extras for your friends and family too. I think I am going to give this a try if I can find somewhere to put them. So simple and easy."

I do love the candy cane beads too. Did anyone find out where you can get them? This is so cute and a great idea for a birthday party also if you could find cupcake beads in place of the candy canes. I will do this bracelet with my granddaughter for Christmas.I know she will go crazy over the candy cane beads. And so simple.

Japan Banks on Wildest Ride Since Global Crisis Before BOJby and
Steeper yield curve fueled rally that's now reversing course
BOJ officials spurred speculation negative rates may deepen
Japan's bank stocks are the most volatile relative to the broader equity market since the financial crisis as investors wrestle with whether the central bank's next move will be a help or a hindrance to lenders.
Speculation the Bank of Japan may act to steepen the sovereign yield curve, which would make lending more profitable, helped fuel a 30 percent rebound for the Topix Banks Index this summer. That rally has faded, while there is also talk of a deeper push into negative interest rates. Investors have already seen how that plays out in the equity market: the introduction of below-zero deposit rates early this year sparked the biggest selloff in bank shares since 2008.
"There's no real direction, the volatility is just very high," said Kentaro Kogi, a Tokyo-based bank analyst at Citigroup Inc. "This is the kind of phase we're in at the moment -- it's the back and forth in expectations over BOJ policy rather than fundamentals that have been driving share prices."
Investors have been whipsawed ahead of next week's BOJ meeting. The central bank is reviewing its monetary policy after more than three years of unprecedented easing failed to revive the economy and prices. Its introduction of negative rates in January was aimed at lowering borrowing costs and persuading banks to use more of their spare cash sitting at the BOJ. Yet lending has since slowed, the yen has surged and banks remain reluctant to take on more risky assets as profit slides.
Pave Way
The direction for bank shares may point the way for the rest of the market, as lenders were among the main groups leading the broader Topix index in its plunge to a bear market in February, and also paved the way for the summer's rebound.
Volatility measured against a 50-day period for bank stocks in Japan's Topix index is at the highest since 2009 relative to the benchmark gauge. Gyrations continued this week as the nation's banks tumbled amid a global equity selloff. The Topix Banks Index tumbled as much as 2.6 percent on Wednesday after the Nikkei newspaper reported that the BOJ will explore delving deeper into negative rates. The 87-stock gauge has now lost almost 30 percent this year, heading for its biggest annual decline since 2008.
Yield Curve
It hasn't been all downhill. Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc., along with peers Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. and Mizuho Financial Group Inc., helped stage a comeback for the industry in July and August, as Japan's long-term bonds began to offer a bigger yield advantage over shorter-maturity debt.
Banks profit from making loans at higher interest rates than what they paid for their funding, meaning a wider yield spread provides fatter margins. Brokerages including Haitong International Securities Group Ltd., Macquarie Group Ltd. and Daiwa Securities Group Inc. have upgraded ratings or price targets for some of the largest banks in September.
The BOJ is considering either a tweak to or an abandonment of its guidance on the range of government bonds that it buys, according to people familiar with the discussions. Any shift would reflect a desire by policy makers to give themselves greater flexibility as they continue with the unprecedented scale of debt purchases, the people said, asking not to be named as the talks are private.
"It seems that the costs of monetary easing, not the contention that policy has reached its technical limits, are going to be stressed as the rationale for modifying the current policy framework," Ryutaro Kono, chief Japan economist at BNP Paribas SA in Tokyo, wrote in a note on Sept. 9. He expects the BOJ will implement a more flexible range for JGB purchases.
Bond investors are signaling that the steepening of the gap between 30- and 10-year yields may be close to a peak. Forward-curve data compiled by Bloomberg late Tuesday show that the spread between interest rates on the two maturities will narrow to 47 basis points in a year's time, from 53 late Tuesday. And bank stocks have struggled of late. The Topix Banks Index has lost 6 percent this month, more than the Topix's 0.8 percent decline.
"Maybe people are getting a bit too excited about the yield curve story at the moment," said Michael Makdad, a bank analyst in Tokyo at Haitong International, who rates MUFG and Sumitomo Mitsui a buy.
Investors are also speculating on the odds for an extra rate cut. BOJ chief Haruhiko Kuroda conceded last week that negative rates have hurt banks' profits, while also signaling that he has room to take them further below zero if the benefits to the economy outweigh the costs. The central bank will place further negative interest rates at the focus of policy, now that its expansion of asset buying is reaching a limit, the Nikkei reported Wednesday, without attribution.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg are split over the likely outcome of the policy board meeting ending Sept. 21, with just over half predicting an expansion of stimulus.
"Where bank stocks are headed all depends on what the BOJ does," said Masaaki Yamaguchi, an equity strategist at Nomura Holdings Inc. in Tokyo.
