Outlook for inflation drives Reserve Bank's interest rate decisions, rather than the view in the rear-view mirror
A couple of things should worry the Reserve Bank about Tuesday's inflation numbers.
It is the fifth quarter in a row that inflation has proven to be weaker than the bank forecast just weeks before - a cumulative error of 1.6 percentage points over that period.
It is the outlook for inflation that drives its interest rate decisions, rather than the view in the rear-view mirror.
The bank's forecasts have inflation heading back towards the middle of its 1 to 3 per cent target band from here, and market economists doubt the details of the latest numbers will have significantly undermined that view.
But it underscores the fact that the reliability of those forecasts matters.
The other cause for concern is that inflation has dropped below the bottom of its target band for the first time since it was raised from 0 to 1 per cent 10 years ago.
It was raised to maintain a buffer above the dreaded condition, deflation, or a falling general level of prices.
While we loosely talk of "inflation-targeting" central banks, what they really target is price stability and that most definitely includes avoiding deflation.
You don't want to go there.
Deflation increases the burden of debt because the dollars people have to repay are worth more than the ones they borrowed. It can raise real interest rates when that is the last thing an economy needs. And it is bad for business inasmuch as if people are already nervous and more inclined to save than spend, the belief that stuff will cost less if they wait will only reinforce that.
The world - the rich parts of it anyway - came perilously close to deflation in 2009. Inflation across the advanced economies was just 0.1 per cent that year, according to the International Monetary Fund, compared with an average 2.2 per cent over the previous 25 years.
It was one indicator of the severity of the financial crisis and associated recession, and helps explain why central banks that had already cut their policy rates to zero resorted to unconventional tools like quantitative easing.
But a doctor is not going to give the same dietary advice to someone with a healthy appetite, and perhaps a tendency to corpulence, that he would give to someone suffering from anorexia. The New Zealand economy is not anorexic.
We have probably just seen the bottom of the inflation cycle, and while there are signs growth is slowing from the brisk clip of the first half of the year, it has not stalled.
Even if further monetary stimulus were called for, the Reserve Bank has plenty of scope - 250 basis points to be precise - to do it the normal way by cutting the official cash rate. It is worth noting that wholesale interest rates (swap rates) were already falling before the weaker-than-expected inflation out-turn kicked them lower. And with the risk premium on top of benchmark rates relatively stable at around 150 basis points, banks' funding costs are low historically - so, accordingly, are the interest rates they charge. Money-market pricing implies an OCR cut by the middle of next year but market economists are unconvinced.
Tuesday's inflation data were very much a game of two halves. Tradeables inflation there was none, reflecting weak global inflation and the lagged effects of a rising exchange rate. But on the domestic or non-tradeables side inflation was 0.5 per cent for the quarter and 2.3 per cent for the year. Not scary, but not negligible either. And it is non-tradeables inflation the Reserve Bank has most impact on through its monetary policy settings. For a country that has had a property boom, but no bust, and is left with dispiriting housing affordability metrics, there are risks in further cuts to mortgage rates.
"Our view is the weak global environment is a good reason for keeping interest rates low," Westpac economist Michael Gordon says. "We are not sure it presents a case for taking them lower. Especially when we have a housing market that is all too receptive to the sugar rush of lower mortgage rates."
Bank of New Zealand economist Doug Steel suspects the Reserve Bank will now see the annual inflation rate returning to the mid-point of its target band more slowly than it previously thought - not just because inflation undershot the bank's forecasts, but also because of a softer tone to the growth indicators lately and a firmer exchange rate than the bank has factored into its September forecasts.
Research the Reserve Bank recently published illuminates one of the models it uses to estimate how much the Kiwi dollar is overvalued (or, more rarely, undervalued). It looks to be between 1 and 9 per cent - too high right now.
Predictably the parties of the left have seized on the latest inflation numbers to support their view that inflation is yesterday's problem, and the Reserve Bank should be instructed to target other things instead. The circularity of the argument - that inflation has been kept in bounds precisely because the monetary policy framework has been doing its job - seems to elude them.
As to how the bank might try to engineer a lower exchange rate, the Swiss are sometimes held up as an example. They have been explicitly defending an exchange rate of 1.20 Swiss francs to the euro since September last year.
In the year ended June their central bank, the Swiss National Bank, expanded its holding of foreign reserves by the equivalent of $215billion.
The lion's share of that increase, equivalent to $146billion, is in euros. That is an awfully big bet to place, with public money, on the eventual recovery of the single currency. Why take such a risk?
It was not only concern about a loss of competitiveness for Swiss exporters relative to the eurozone, which entirely surrounds them. It was also deflation. The Swiss CPI has been falling, in annual terms for nearly a year though the rate of decline has abated lately.
New Zealand has the former problem but, happily, not the latter.

Jeanette (Jenny) Stokes
Leadership Award winner
Jenny Stokes is regarded as the cornerstone and soul of the Department of Interdisciplinary Learning and Teaching (ILT). She works with everyone associated with the department, and her warmth, humanity and leadership is evident in all her interactions.
Stokes supervises seven employees, oversees the daily affairs of the department chair, assists 25 tenured professors and tenure-track faculty, and manages the needs of more than 120 adjunct professors.
"Jenny Stokes is one of the best supervisors I've ever had," said one of her nominators. "She is always here, she is very understanding, she has open communication with her employees and she never asks of you what she wouldn't do herself."
She also indirectly touches the lives of more than 11,000 students enrolled in the ILT by organizing, scheduling, monitoring and regularly updating student access to 413 sections of courses offered in the department.
An additional nominator said, "Jenny's behind-the-scenes work is equally voluminous and remarkable. She maintains the records, monthly reports and expenditures for 11 departmental accounts, which total over $1.5 million, and she monitors the inventory of all the department equipment. In addition, she is responsible for the creation and processing of all faculty appointment letters and faculty contracts."
An additional nominator said, "Though grants are not usually her responsibility, Jenny has helped me with my San Antonio Area Foundation grant on several occasions. She has also lent a helping hand by ordering equipment, finding university resources and answering my many questions."
Stokes shows the mark of a true leader because she cares about the success of her department and everyone who comes in contact with the office. Not only is she a leader within ILT, she also contributes to the success of the university by serving on the Roadrunner Day Committee and the Business Services Advisory Committee.
She handles an incredible workload with a smile and in the process transfers a wonderful sense of serenity to faculty and staff members alike.
UTSA employees are invited to attend the event hosted by Sonia Martinez, vice president for university advancement; Rosalie Ambrosino, provost and vice president for academic affairs; and Jeffrey Kantor, associate vice president for research. The ceremony also will include remarks by President Ricardo Romo.

Many women drink, and moderate drinking is thought to confer some benefits against heart disease for both women and men. However, women need to know that alcohol consumption poses numerous health risks, especially if they are drinking excessively or are pregnant.If you see a patient who is planning to become pregnant, encourage her to abstain from alcohol. If she is sexually active, not using contraception and drinking, talk to her about alcohol-exposed pregnancies and encourage contraceptive use or abstinence from alcohol. In general, patients don't object to being screened for alcohol use and are open to advice post-screening. Women are more likely than men to obtain help and achieve remission.

NATURE'S PATTERNS: A Tapestry in Three Parts. Philip Ball. Oxford University Press, 2009. Shapes, x + 308 pp., $29.95; Flow, x + 190 pp., $29.95; Branches, x + 221 pp., $29.95.
The helical shell of a snail, the hexagonal chambers of a honeycomb, the tiger's stripes and the leopard's spots, leaf shapes in their spectacular variety, the sixfold symmetry of a snowflake, the branching pattern of an elm tree or a river delta or a stag's antlers, the curiously similar profiles of ocean waves and sand dunes—you might think that explaining these natural forms would always have been at the core of the scientific enterprise. Yet, on the contrary, the science of shape, pattern and form is a modern preoccupation. Earlier observers described and catalogued many such features of the natural world, but only in the past century or so has it seemed worthwhile to search for the principles and mechanisms—and ultimately the algorithms—that give rise to those patterns.
Philip Ball, in a trilogy of books published under the general title Nature's Patterns, offers some thoughtful commentary on why the science of morphology has been such a late bloomer. He notes that making things requires skill and attention to detail; in everyday experience, complex objects don't just assemble themselves spontaneously. In Shapes he observes that
patterning the world, shaping it into forms that please us or do useful things, is hard work. . . .
So when the natural philosophers of ages past found complexity in nature, it is scarcely surprising that many of them decided they were gazing on God's handiwork and artistry.
If every atom is put in its place as part of a grand design, then delving into the principles of that design is the work of theology, not science. Indeed, the Reverend William Paley, the great exponent of this view, titled his 1802 treatise on the subject Natural Theology.
Darwinism brought a new worldview, yet it still offered little insight into the mechanism of pattern. The deistic dictum "God gave the leopard spots to help it hunt" was restated as "Spotted leopards leave more progeny than unspotted ones," but this new formulation answered only the why question, not the how question. Mutation and natural selection were treated as omnipotent forces that might as easily produce a paisley or a plaid leopard if those patterns offered an adaptive advantage. The whole matter of how an organism would paint itself with spots (or paisley swirls, for that matter) was left as a problem for someone else to solve.
The someone else who first gave serious attention to questions of this kind was the Scottish naturalist D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, whose eye-opening book On Growth and Form first appeared in 1917. Thompson imported ideas from physics and mathematics and even engineering into biology, including the aesthetic notion that elegance and economy of means are important virtues in a scientific theory. Ball describes Thompson's analysis of the shapes of animal horns:
The sabre-like sweep of an ibex horn need not have been selected from a presumed gallery of bizarre and ornate alternative horn shapes. We can assume merely that the horn grows at a progressively slower rate from one side of the circumference to the other, whereupon, hey presto, you have an arc. . . . Even the more elaborate spiral form of a ram's horn comes simply from ramping up the asymmetry of growth rates, causing the horn's tip to swing through several complete revolutions.
D'Arcy Thompson did not directly address the issue of the leopard's spots, but Alan M. Turing did, in the early 1950s. He invented a scheme based on two competing chemical species—an activator and an inhibitor—that can generate a wide variety of pelt patterns, from spots to stripes to the irregular blotches of a Holstein cow. Converting from one pattern to another is just a matter of adjusting a few parameters, such as the rate at which the chemicals diffuse through a layer of tissue.
By now the idea of self-organizing patterns is no longer a novelty. They seem to be everywhere, not only in living organisms but also in the inanimate world. Ball's trilogy is a grand tour of these systems. Shapes provides a general introduction (including discussions of both Thompson and Turing) and a wide-ranging survey of patterns observed in soap bubbles and foams, in the skeletons of marine microorganisms, in mollusk shells and butterfly wings, in oscillating chemical reactions, in the spiral patterns of flowers, in population cycles among predators and their prey, and in embryonic development. Flow, the second volume, takes on not only vortices, convection and turbulence but also some less-obvious topics such as the motion of sand dunes and the self-organizing behavior of flocks and herds of animals and even highway traffic. Finally Branches includes the forms of trees (and, at a smaller scale, the veins of their leaves) as well as fracture patterns, drainage networks and a few social and technological artifacts such as the electric-power grid and the Internet. This last volume ends with a useful epilogue that sums up the subject and returns to the question of why a science of pattern came to flourish only in the second half of the 20th century.
The common thread binding all the topics together is the idea of orderly patterns that form with no need for central planning or direction. For example, floating bubbles tend to assemble in rafts that approximate a hexagonal tiling of the plane, but there is no agency enforcing this regular geometry, and no hidden template or other element of the system with distinctive sixfold symmetry. The pattern arises from nothing but attractive forces between neighboring bubbles. Other hexagonal patterns turn up in the cracked mud of a dry lake bed, in fluid convection cells and in honeycombs and wasp nests; each of these phenomena has a slightly different physical cause, but in all cases the pattern always forms spontaneously. A tiled bathroom floor is quite different: You can't rely on the tiles to arrange themselves in the proper order.
I can't resist observing that words, too, seldom assemble themselves into coherent sentences and paragraphs; they require the single-minded attention of a writer to set them in order. Philip Ball is a very skilled practitioner of this art. He's an explainer. In these volumes he undertakes the particularly delicate task of explaining mathematical subjects to an audience assumed to have no mathematical knowledge. He succeeds.
Even readers who are already familiar with the main ideas in these books are sure to find unexpected pleasures. My personal favorite is an extended meditation on Leonardo da Vinci's depictions of water, which introduces the volume on fluids. Ball writes:
While most painters used technique to create a simulacrum of nature, Leonardo felt that one could not imbue the picture with life until one understood how nature does it. His sketches, then, are not exactly studies but something between an experiment and a diagram—attempts to intuit the forces at play.
A couple of pages later, he adds that
To judge from his sketches, Leonardo conducted a thorough, if haphazard, experimental programme on the flow patterns of water, watching it pass down channels of different shapes, charting the chaos of plunging waterfalls, and placing obstacles in the flow to see how they generated new forms.
The drawings that record the outcome of these experiments feature a graphic device now known to fluid dynamicists as the streamline—an attempt to capture motion in a still drawing. Leonardo's streamlines resemble the braids and curls of flowing hair, and indeed he adopted similar stylistic elements when he was drawing hair (including his own beard in self-portraits). Later artists in the European tradition favored a less dynamic view of turbulent flow; Ball describes the typical seascape of the 18th or 19th century as "a play of glinting highlights and surging foam: a style that is all surface, you might say." In China and Japan, however, drawings of fluid streamlines have a heritage that goes back even further than Leonardo. Ball notes that the streamlines are meant "to portray the inner life of flow." Perhaps the concept is not so far from the inner logic of a pattern.
The three volumes of Nature's Patterns are based on an earlier one-volume work, The Self-made Tapestry: Pattern Formation in Nature (2001). The expanded and updated edition is welcome, but I'm not sure that the trisection of the text was a good idea. For reading on the bus or the beach, I suppose, the new smaller volumes are handier than the single compendium of the old edition, but in total the three new books are bulkier and more costly. Furthermore, many of the photographs and drawings are not reproduced as well as they were in the earlier edition. This is a disappointment, since the discussion of pattern relies heavily on visual illustration. The murky printing afflicts only the black-and-white illustrations within the text; each volume also includes a few pages of color plates. And the words are still crystal clear.

Nico Yennaris believes that hard work will give him the best possible chance of succeeding at Arsenal and he won't ease off now that first-team football is in his sights.
The lifelong Gunner, who made an impressive Premier League debut against Manchester United in January, told this month's Official Arsenal Magazine that he has taken the advice of Club staff firmly to heart.
"I've always believed that what you put in is what you get out," said Yennaris.
"One of the coaches here once said to me that if you're going to fail, do so through your ability and not your work rate. I've stuck by that and thought that if it's not going to be, it can't be because I haven't tried.
"I've always been focused and worked very hard to give myself the best opportunity of succeeding."
Yennaris' efforts have certainly paid dividends with captain Robin van Persie paying tribute to the 18 year-old's work ethic.
"For the last few weeks I've been training with the first team every day and that makes me up my game," noted Yennaris.
"They're on one level and, as a youth and reserve player, I'd been a step below. Training with these guys has helped me, and Robin has been very good to me too - giving me advice and confidence on the pitch, and telling me just to play my game.
"My whole game in general [has improved]. My decision-making is getting sharper, my passing's improved, I see the picture more quickly and physically I think I'm becoming stronger too. Now I just need to take all this forward and keep working hard."

Mark Ronson & The Business INTL - Bang Bang Bang (U-Tern's Disco Dub)
BIG TUNE...BIG DUB FIX, courtesy of Vancouver's U-Tern. There's really no reason for you to quit on Mark Ronson & The Business INTL's Bang, Bang, Bang...real talk, it's a top-5 summer song for me, and hopefully you dig it just as much. But if you're feeling a slow disco rub, then jump in on the aforementioned remix below.
In other Ronson news, yes that is an image of Mr. Mark sitting in the stylists chair, because he's just recently gone platinum blonde. I scoped him out down at his Friday night EVR show, and can confirm, he looks equally dapper with the new tow-headed tresses.
In fact, BlackBook thought it was such a "story", that they followed him to the dye chair. Whilst in the midst of being shot for their September issue Martial Vivot, BlackBook's go-to stylist and proprietor of the sophisticated but unstuffy Martial Vivot Salon Pour Hommes salon, suggested Ronson go bleach-blonde at some point. Ronson was keen on the idea, and said he'd make an appointment to get it done when he returned from an upcoming trip, however when Vivot mentioned he could color him right then and there, Mark excitedly consented.
So they filmed it. And you can watch it now.

Attacks on the Press in 2011: Preface
Technology has democratized news publishing, rattling regimes that see their survival dependent on control of information. Video footage of repression from Burma to Syria to Egypt dramatically illustrates the benefits of Internet platforms and social media. Yet the Arab uprisings of 2011 also demonstrate the urgent need for providers and users of digital tools to understand the dangers of deploying them in repressive nations. As threats to online journalists grow in scope and frequency, they also underscore CPJ's mandate to be a truly global organization. More journalists need CPJ's help than ever before.

You figure out how to take a realy nice pitcher ;;;;;;;now figure out how to get rid of those ugly mites;;;;;;;;
It took 48 hours for that one mite to drop onto a sticky board in this particular hive (natural drop, no treatment). I'll keep monitoring mite levels, but I may not even get the opportunity to treat the hive this mite came from.

Another mite I caught - wasn't easy, because they are fast.
Detail head.
There is some sort of "blossom" at the tips of the two long forearms.
And a lot of sensing hairs.
The two short forearms/antennae, with sensing hairs, too.
These are incredible!
Try it. What could happen?
was that a tiny mite on the bee egg?
I think it was a tiny flake of wax/debris.
After not finding any V. mites in sugar shakes of two my hives, and only one on a sticky board in 48 hours, I decided to get into some capped drone bur comb to try and find a few more. I cut the comb off, and took it inside to pull the comb open and look for mites. I only opened up capped drone cells that were still sealed, undamaged, and not crushed. I had dissected over 40 cells and had found nothing. I was thinking, "Where are these mites everyone talks about?" Opening the caps with a tooth pick, removing the pupa or larva, and inspecting the bee and cell bottom.
Finally after 50 cells, found this one.
Then I found these. Total I found 2 adult mites in 71 capped drone brood.

Those smaller, white mites in the last pics of post #12 are likely male varroa. The female is larger and turns colors when mature.
Great pictures, interesting too!
...We don't see things as they are, we see things as WE are...
Yep! I was hoping to find a fully matured adult male. This guy was pretty close.

Football has been very, very good to us.
After losing seasons 2013-15, the giants put up 11 wins in 16.. they are on way Back
But for now we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE NE again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
If Eli threw 5 ints in one game he would get ripped to shreds.
He is playing average this year, because he is elite one game and bad the next. Last year he was the reason they won a superbowl, no matter what people think. It was all on his shoulders and he delivered. His 1,219 yards is an NFL record for a single postseason, and his 9TDs to 1 INT is pretty damn good as well. Im not sure many other QBs can do that in the postseason against the best teams in the NFL. Average he is not.
Spin that Webb young Davis
I'll defend him when the criticisms are outrageous or just plain inaccurate, and I'll weather absurd claims when some homer tries to compare him with Brees or in one case even Eli.

do bees like the magnolia tree?
do bees like the magnolia tree?
Yes,but the honey is of poor quality(taste).It is a shame it doesn't taste like the blooms smell.
quote from "American Honey Plants"
"One beekeeper in Mississippi reports that the honey is so dark and strong as to be unpalatable."
We have lots of Magnolia here and I agree with the above quote.
Like everything else there are a lot of species of Magnolia trees. The southern might not taste like the northern. Do they tap maple trees in the south?
Brian Cardinal
Zone 5a, Practicing non-intervention beekeeping
Ace,we have plenty of maple here in the south and yes,syrup can be made with a great deal of effort.The trees aren't the problem,the weather is.We have no hard weather break to get the sap really flowing.
I think the lack of the freeze and thaw in the south, would be the big problem.
The hive smells wonderful when they collect the nectar.

Tina Fey Flashes Her Boobies
I guess after having her nipples show through her shirt, Tina Fey's left her inhibitions behind and she's finally embraced her sexual side by celebrating that feeling of freedom through showing off her titties. And what fine titties they are, too. She's done a good job so far of keeping those puppies under wraps, because they never seemed that perky before. Or maybe her newfound carnal freedom also means embracing some surgical enhancements? That doesn't sound like something a brainy babe like Tina would do, but if she's used to playing many roles on TV, why can't she play the role of a lusty hottie in real life?
Whether those are natural or enhanced anyway, we'll still be drooling over the chance to stare at her rack, uncovered and free as the wind. Betcha she never thought she'd be doing something as wild as this, even during her free-wheeling days in improv school with the Second City troupe. This kind of improvisation is different from any she's done on stage before, and her audience isn't laughing for this one, they're panting hard as they get ready to bust a nut for her! Tina Fey nude should be the next thing a horndog fan should check out, and clicking on that link back there is the right place to see something like that!

SnippetsMaking the Tree Tools sticky for easier editing on large sites
22 March 2011 | | | Supports v2.4Tweet
If you have ever had to edit content on a SilverStripe site with lots of pages, you will have noticed how furstrating it is to have to keep scrolling back up the tree panel to create a page or enable drag and drop re-ordering. Well, here is a handy bit of CSS you can add to keep the tools static, even as you scroll down the tree.Continue reading...

As you will most likely already know, reducing the number of HTTP requests that your site makes can have a significant effect on loading times. However, usually it's not practical to combine all your files into a single one for reasons of maintainability. This is where SilverStripe steps in and provides an elegant, automated solution to this common 'requirement' (lol, get it?).Continue reading...

SANTA MONICA, CA – March 20, 2008 – For the first time, handheld gamers will have the freedom to unleash their inner rock star anywhere, anytime with Activision, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: ATVI) upcoming Guitar Hero: On Tour for Nintendo DS. The game will deliver a unique Guitar Hero experience by challenging handheld gamers to rock out and prove their shredding skills on the most diverse set list of master tracks ever offered in a Guitar Hero game, including classic rock, alternative and pop favorites such as Nirvana, OK Go and No Doubt.
The game will be packaged with a revolutionary Guitar Hero Guitar Grip peripheral that fits snugly into the DS and a unique Guitar Hero pick-stylus that brings a new dimension to handheld gaming and the core gameplay that defines Guitar Hero. Guitar Hero: On Tour has been designed specifically for the DS platform and will offer the DS audience an all-new compelling music experience.
"We are continuing to introduce new and exciting ways to bring music to audiences with Guitar Hero," said Dusty Welch, head of publishing for Activision/RedOctane. "The Guitar Hero Guitar Grip redefines how games can be played on handheld systems and the integration of the microphone and touch screen gameplay on the DS, further illustrates Guitar Hero's leadership in delivering the most unique and creative quality hardware and software on the market."
"We're designing Guitar Hero: On Tour from the ground up to take full advantage of the DS platform by integrating signature gameplay with fresh new content and DS specific features," said Karthik Bala, CEO of Vicarious Visions. "We've taken all of our learnings on the DS platform to date and pushed it to the limits to create a truly innovative Guitar Hero experience."
Guitar Hero: On Tour continues to build on the franchise's signature easy-to-play, yet difficult to master addictive gameplay, and now lets players take their experience on the road wherever they go. Players use the Guitar Hero pick-stylus on the touch screen to strum their favorite tunes and create their rock 'n' roll legacy in career mode.
Fans can also join together to play co-op mode using a local wireless network, or battle each other in a Guitar Duel using new Battle Items unique to the DS platform. For example, players must blow into the microphone to extinguish a pyrotechnics effects gone wrong, or use the touch screen to autograph a crazed fan's shirt in the middle of their set.
Featuring five unlockable new venues, the game lets players personalize their experience by choosing the color of their axe of choice, selecting to play as one of six characters -- two of which are all new and exclusive to Guitar Hero: On Tour – and outfitting their guitarist in numerous styles.
Guitar Hero: On Tour is being developed by Vicarious Visions for the Nintendo DS. The game is rated "E 10+" (Everyone 10 and older) by the ESRB and is scheduled for release this summer. For more information, visit www.guitarheroontour.com.

Dai plans to try it because otherwise he would regret what he has worked on throughout the reason.
I actually hope that he won't try it. I have not heard any good practice reports of his quad and his LP has been pretty inconsistent even without the quad. The best thing that could happen is that he lands everything including the quad and gets OGM. But I think it more realistic for him to go as clean as possible and aim for a medal (not necessarily Gold). Trying the quad sounds just too risky for him, with the possibility that other things fall apart, too. He has not seemed very prepared yet. But if he keeps pursuing the quad, he may become a world champ this season or the next.
On a side note, Nobu says that he is at the best condition of all the comps he has attended so far (not specifically about the quad though). Although Nobu is not the one who has strong competition nerves, he has little outside pressures. I hope he makes the podium with or without the quad. He has Morosov to make the decision. That's pretty dependable.

Dai "Not my best yet, but I've gotten the sense. I don't tihnk that I would not try it." "The goal cannot be achieved unless the goal is high. If I have faith in what I've done so far, something bigger may give me the strength."
Sounds spiritual almost! In practice on 10th, he tried 4 times and none of them was clean.
Oda. "My quad is going well and I plan to put it in the program. It is important to do every element clean."
Koz "I've enhanced stamina so that I could do the latter half of the program well. I think that I would try the quad."
So, Johnny said he was going to be practicing a quad later today. What for???
Men and quads:
1.) PLushy will go for it in SP and LP
2.) Joubert will go for it in SP and in LP will go for either 4t or 4s but not both
3.) Jeremy will go for it in the LP only
4.) Evan won't attempt it in either program
5.) Oda won't either
6.) Chan won't either
7.) Neither will Weir
8.) Lambiel will go for it in SP and LP because he needs it to make up for his lack of 3a
9.) Verner will go for it in SP and LP because he always does, and his 4-3 is his best element (he hits it more often then he does his 3lz...oh Tomas )
10.) Dai might try it in the LP, not so sure about him
Ladies and 3-3s or 3a:
1.) Yuna will go for 3lz-3t in SP and LP
2.) Miki will go for 3lz-3lo in SP and leave it out of LP but go for 2a-3t in LP
3.) Mao will go for all three 3a, have one ratified in the LP and the other two UR
4.) Joannie won't attempt a 3-3, said she would all season but hasn't yet so doubt she will here
5.) Rachael will go for 3f-3t in SP and LP, maybe changing to 3f-2t in one program
6.) Leonova will go for 3t-3t in SP but not LP
7.) Mirai has been practicing 3f-3t, maybe try it in the LP here?
8.) Carolina will go for 3f-3t in one program but not the other
9.) Laura.....kinda doubt it. Maybe she'll pull off 3t-3t in one program
10.)Elene...like Laura, maybe in one program 3t-3t but in the other it could be 2t-2t
Am I forgetting anyone?

This is not specifically getting at any specific skaters. But generally, it may not be too meaningful to give credit to everything that the skaters say because they would be doing mind-game, too. I could totally imagine Morosov having their skaters practice and talk about the quad and 3-3 until the last munite and then pull it off depending on the way the competition goes. IMO, flexibility would be important.
So Lysacek will not attempt a quad after all. Jeremy is solid in quad jumps in practice on the Olympic ice so far.
It seems that all the Japanese guys basically would go for it. Dai finally landed it two days in row. But landing it in the program may be a very different story. Koz says he has "no problem" with his quad.
In Japanese:
Those who do not land qauds have no place on the podium, as well as those ladies who do 3+2 combo instead of 3+3!

Since the Puma takeover, Cobra has slowly begun making changes in their club lines that reflect the edgier, bolder influence that Puma has had on the company. This year, we will see this youthful exuberance really shine through with their latest club releases. They have artfully brought back classic clubs such as the Trusty Rusty wedges and the Long Tom driver and the new ZL Encore Driver is on pace to be the best driver they have ever made. The ZL Encore is a refined version of the original ZL driver however this newer version incorporates their newly patented E9 Face with dual roll technology which increases ball speeds for added distance and improves the MOI for greater forgiveness. Cobra has decided to not cut any corners with the ZL encore and the stock shaft offering is the Fujikura Motore F3. This is the real deal Motore F3 shaft that retails for over $200 and Cobra has made it clear that it is not a watered down version like many of their competitors offer in their off the rack clubs. The ZL Encore is offered in both white and back finishes and is available in lofts ranging from 8.5 to 11.5 degrees. The ZL Encore will ship mid-November, place your pre-book now!

Bomb threat shutters Deer Park High School
DEER PARK, Wash. - A bomb threat left in a bathroom stall forced the closure of Deer Park High School Wednesday morning.
At 9:45 a.m. a note was found in a girls bathroom stall that read, "Bomb goes off at 1 today." The note had a smiley face on it.
The assistant principal called in the threat and students and staff were evacuated from the building.
Students were initially evacuated from the school and were later dismissed for the remainder of the day.
Bomb sniffing dogs from Fairchild Air Force Base were called in to search the campus. Spokane County Sheriff's deputies, along with members of Fairchild's bomb display unit, swept the school parking lot first before moving on to clear the rest of the campus.

Now that the turkey and pumpkin pie has settled, and everyone's gotten a good night's sleep, shoppers are busily hustling the Web for the best deals. I've been doing the same thing, and wanted to share some of my tips that may help you avoid becoming snared in the most prolific cyberscam of the moment: fake virus alert messages (otherwise known as fakealerts).
For months, the perpetrators of this fraud have been honing their skills at targeting malicious web pages to rise in search results for whatever is in the popular zeitgeist-of-the-moment. Victims experience a computer that appears to be out of control, seemingly unable to do anything but download whatever application the fakealert forces upon them.
Take a look at this video. Earlier in the week I tried searching for news about Black Friday or deals on the toy that appears to be the Tickle Me Elmo of 2009, the hard to find Zhu Zhu Pets. What I found were a flood of fakealert sites mixed in with the legitimate search results.
[vimeo 7825517]
The good news is, it's not hard to avoid these fakealert sites, but you have to be an alert Web surfer, and carefully scrutinize the results before you click a link. Read on for my top six tips to shop online safely this Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or anytime this holiday season.
- Sweep before you shop: Always scan your computer with a fully updated antivirus and antispyware application (a real one) before you even get to the order form on your favorite shopping site.
- Carefully look at results before you click: The bad guys use various tricks to fool Google and other search engines into indexing their malicious links so they have a high "relevance" score, and therefore appear higher in the results than even a legitimate website would. One of the tricks they use is to have a large number of the same key phrase interspersed in the middle of text culled from another source. The archetypical example is a page that lifted a soliliquy from Shakespeare's Richard III but dotted the phrase "Black Friday 2009" around the page. Virtually all of the search results that led to fakealerts use the same technique. As you can see in the video, the pages that do this simply redirect the browser into the fakealert. You can often see a slice of the bizarre results if you read the text below the link.
- Watch for hacked sites: An increasing number of hacked, legitimate websites are being used to perpetuate the fakealert scam. Using passwords stolen by keyloggers like Trojan-Phisher-Zbot, the criminals surreptitiously add a few malicious scripted pages to the legitmate site's Web server. The site's owner isn't necessarily even aware this has happened until after the fact. But you can't necessarily trust that a smaller site with an otherwise good reputation hasn't been tampered with.
- Firefox and the NoScript Add-on will help protect you: The vast majority of the scripted sites that draw unsuspecting users into fakealerts employ maliciously-created Javascript and other scripting code. The NoScript plugin prevents sites you haven't previously visited from running scripts until you go out of your way to permit this behavior. The simple act of using this one add-on could save your bacon if you stumble upon one of these malicious pages accidentally.
- When in doubt, kill your browser: If you do happen to find yourself sucked into a fakealert vortex, don't click anywhere in the browser window. If you know how to use the Task Manager to terminate the browser application, you can do it that way. Most users will find it easier to simply use the Alt-F4 keyboard combination. Remember, you can always go back to the page you want by restarting the browser and looking at your link history.
- Never click "Save" or "Open" on a fakealert popup: Fakealerts are really good at forcing the browser to start downloading a Trojan horse application, but the criminals still rely on you running the file. Never, ever click the "Open" or the "Save" button in the download dialog. If you happen to save a file to your computer, delete it — don't run it. Once you alt-F4 the browser, these alerts will go away.

well after a lot of experimenting, research and invaluable help from Jim at Hyperdyne, I now have a fully R/C rangefinder! The transmitter is in the right gantlet, with the reciever in the rear of the helmet, and it works a treat! I had previously installed Hyperdyne's servo kit with the voice rec, but had problems with it working in the field, but this has no problems at all!
if you look closely, you can see the LED on the gauntlet flash when the unit is pressed!

|st: Global Macro?
|Fri, 28 Oct 2005 10:49:26 -0500
Hi I have a question: I have a number of subroutines that I want to be able to run from a master file and also send to someone else who has a different file structure than myself. What I tried to do was this: ************************* global do_dir "C:\Project\Do Files" global data_dir "C:\Project\Data" global log_dir "C:\Project\Log Files" global output_dir "C:\Project\Output" do Subroutine1 do Subroutine2 do Subroutine3 macro drop do_dir macro drop data_dir macro drop output_dir ************************ There are parts of each subroutine that refer to each directory and I just want to reference them in this file, so the person that I'm working with just has to cut and paste once for each directory when I send it to them. Is there a better way to do this?? Thanks for any help in advance!

"I found this recipe just about the time I was getting brave about using herbs and rubs to flavor meats," recalls Karin Woodbury of Ocala, Florida. "My family loved the taste and it's been a favorite ever since."
Recommended: 32 Super Steak Recipes
- 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
- 2 large red onions, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 teaspoon salt, divided
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
- 1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 4 beef tenderloin steaks (4 ounces each)
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray; add onions. Cook and stir over medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until tender and browned. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, vinegar and sugar. Remove and keep warm.
- Combine the pepper, thyme and remaining salt; rub over steaks. In the same skillet, cook steaks for 4-7 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°). Serve with onions. Yield: 4 servings.

"I had ground thyme instead of dried leaves, and it turned out great. The thyme and pepper was a complement to the steaks, and we just loved the caramelized onions. I don't like balsamic-based salad dressings, but I loved it on these onions."

Labour MP Sue Moroney has hit back at a report released by National's Paula Bennett on unemployment figures in the Waikato region.
The Social Development Minister's report reveals that unemployment in the region dropped by 3.5 per cent.
However, Ms Moroney says given the large number of job losses in the region during the past year, the numbers do not stack up.
The Hamilton-based MP says the number of employed in the region fell by 13,300 over the past two years.
She says National's hands-off policies are forcing New Zealanders to head to Australia for work.

Gallatin County Commission could express interest in new Fairgrounds pool
BOZEMAN, Mont. - Just a day after City Commissioners could decide the historic Bogert Pool's fate, County Commissioners could look toward a future outdoor pool.
"It's just the first step telling the public that we're considering it, and there's details to be worked out," said Conservation and Parks Director Michael Harris.
He said on Tuesday, the Commission is set to discuss if they'd be OK with the city possibly building a new swim center at the Fairgrounds.
"That was put on the master plan back in 2007 as a good fit for the Fairgrounds," said Fairgrounds Manager Sue Shockley.
Earlier this week, Shockley told us a pool's been in the plan -- and just a couple days ago, the Gallatin County Fair Board decided they'd like to continue the process to see what's possible for building that pool.
A committee is set to look over the details, and report back to the board.
But this is just one of several options the city could pursue for a new pool. Another is partner with the YMCA, who's planning to build a new community center near Regional Park.
"We are drawing what a YMCA could look like," said Andrea Stevenson, about where they're at in the process. "As we move forward, it'd be very exciting to share with the community."
She said they will then figure out how much the facility would cost, and begin to raise funds. Right now, they're planning for an indoor aquatic center as part of the facility- but says if the city jumps on board, they could add an outdoor pool.
But if the city decides not to go that route, Stevenson said they'll continue ahead with their plans anyway.
Harris said Tuesday's county discussion could open up dialogue with the fairgrounds option, but stressed it's a very preliminary step and not a final decision.
He said there'd be a long process of due diligence and research before they would officially move ahead.
"If all that is worked out, and the city thinks it's a good site and the county thinks it's a good site- will we then enter into a contract to locate it there," he said.

One of my pet peeves is the adage that public agencies should perform more like private businesses.
Whenever I hear this, it's like fingernails on a chalkboard screeching in my public-service ears. The last thing infrastructure managers should do is model our operations after those of a private business.
Humans are clever animals. They will excel at the activity upon which their performance is measured. In the private sector, that performance measurement is profitability. In the public sector, it's service.
And that affects the decision-making process within each sector. On a simple customer service question—such as how to answer the phone—we in public service might debate how many times it's allowed to ring unanswered, while our counterparts in the private sector may focus on whether it's less expensive to outsource that responsibility.
While the private sector can and often does provide high-quality infrastructure services, its mandate to make a profit can—and sometimes does—overrule decisions that would deliver the greatest good. When federal regulations increase operating costs or material costs rise, the private provider will reduce service levels to maintain profitability.
We've all seen the results: longer-than-recommended equipment life or extended maintenance intervals that go unnoticed until a failure occurs or an expensive rehabilitation is required. Then management of the asset, which is in far worse shape than it would have been had it remained in public hands, is either turned back over to the public sector or rates are increased to finance expensive repairs.
Since the public sector isn't burdened by the requirement to be profitable, we're free to deliver service based on what's best for the public.
If it seems like I'm opposed to private-sector competition in the provision of public services, that's not the case. Competition keeps all of us focused on excellent service and low rates. But as stewards of a community's entire infrastructure system, we in the public sector should push our colleagues in the private sector to keep service levels high and rates competitive.
For example, my city gets drinking water from one of three providers, each of which serves approximately one-third of its residents: my department and two private purveyors. Together, we distribute an average of 40 mgd to the city's 50,000 customers.
All three entities buy water from the same wholesaler, at the same rate, and we all distribute it under the same conditions. Therefore, we can compare rates. To be fair, the private purveyors pay taxes, which we as a public agency do not. Nonetheless, my department's rates are approximately 20% lower than either of the private purveyors'.
The water rates in the city-served portion are established by the city council during a public hearing. Rates for the private water purveyors, on the other hand, are approved by the California Public Utilities Commission, a state agency whose five commissioners are appointed by the governor.
An important service my department provides to all Thousand Oaks residents—whether or not they're my department's customers—is participating in the rate cases of the private purveyors at hearings before the commission. As advocates on our citizens' behalf, we review the rate cases and comment to keep the rates down.
Being able to compare rates motivates us to keep our rates low. Not only do we benefit the water customers we serve, we indirectly benefit the rest of Thousand Oaks' citizens by advocating for lower rates on their behalf.
A few years ago we successfully petitioned the commission to order one of the private water purveyors to lower rates. The commission didn't ask us to testify; we monitor rates and, alarmed at how much more some residents were paying for the same service, traveled at our expense to present a detailed analysis of rate structures and service levels. The fact that the city-supplied water cost substantially less—despite being a not-for-profit entity—was a compelling argument.
As public-sector service providers, we have a role to play in determining the prices that private sector companies are allowed to charge for public services. We need to do this to keep rates low and service levels high, because service is our underlying principle.
— Mark Watkins has been public works director for Thousand Oaks, Calif., a suburb of Los Angeles, for two years. His presentation on "Getting Your Waste-water Treatment Plant Off the Grid" is scheduled for 2:30 p.m., Sept. 11, at the American Public Works Association's annual convention in San Antonio.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Nice and good equipped Apartment, perfectly located, very easy check in/out. We really enjoyed staying there. Bath was clean but with basic shower and very small for three women ;-)
Love, Love, LOVE this apartment! - if I was living in Gdansk this is where i'd wanna live!
The apartment is in a great location - less than 5 mins walk to the train station, supermarket just across the road and within 10 mins walk so can be in the heart of the old town or strolling along the river!
My friend and I had a great time in Gdansk, visiting Hel, Sopot and Gdynia too.
I loved the modern deco in the apartment, such a lovely bright, clean space. Quiet in the evenings, comfy bed and easy to find - thanks for your directions Karolina - very helpful.
Lots of lovely, helpful touches in the apartment - tourist information leaflets, shampoo and soap in bathroom, left over basic ingredients like salt and pepper etc. - all adds to the over all experience!
thanks for a lovely stay - if I come back I will def. book with you again! And absolutely recommend to everyone!

We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment in Wrzeszcz, Gdansk. It was great to have an actual working wifi-connection in the apartment (we've experienced otherwise elsewhere). Although the apartment is not very luxurious, it is very affordable and has a terrific location: near the tram and trainstation, and all kinds of facilities nearby. There was also enough parking space behind the aparment.
Furthermore, the host, Karolina, responded quickly to all of our questions. Check-in was very flexible. The city is beautiful.
Older building, but cozy apartment. Hassle-free accommodation and check-out, flexible hours, quick contact with the host. The only minus, while disputes, problems with water in the bathroom (for repairs).
Starsze budownictwo, ale przytulne mieszkanie. Bezproblemowe zakwaterowanie i wykwaterowanie, elastyczne godziny, szybki kontakt z gospodarzem. Jedyny minus, natomiast spory, to problemy z wodą w łazience (do naprawy).
The beds were comfortable, bedsheets were clean, and flat location is perfect except it was in the 4th floor without a lift.
Their against the kitchen was poorly equipped in electric device and pots, pans were old, dirty and in bad shape.
One consideration is to think water bottles are very cheap to provide in the flat for people whom came late in the night.
Everything went perfectly! The apartment is as charming as the photos, well equipped, next to Gdansk or Sopot transport (tram, train) and there is a large shopping center in 10 minutes. We were delighted with our stay.
Tout s'est parfaitement passé ! L'appartement est aussi charmant que sur les photos, bien équipé, à côté des transports vers Gdansk ou Sopot (tramways, gare de train) et il y a un grand centre commercial à 10 minutes. Nous étions ravis de notre séjour.
During our stay in Gdansk, the apartment Carolina we had a very comfortable home. The house is very clean and the decor of the apartment is very beautiful, it is seen that done with the soul. We are very grateful to the owner for the warm welcome!!
Easy contact details. Apartment building that is secure yet comfortable, well appointed and close to the beach and public transport. Immediate environment with all amenities nearby and the 7/7.
Contact facile et informations détaillées.
Appartement en immeuble sécurisé qui est cependant confortable, bien agencé et proche de la plage et des transports en commun.
Environnement immédiat avec tous les commerces à proximité et ce 7j /7.

Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
Looks like someone was welding a piece on a grounded welding table with receptacles and didn't hook up the ground from the welder. Not that that every happened here of course...
Installer did not tighten set screws on coupling,but, there must be some type of current flowing n the E.MT., either fault current induced current or someone decided to use the E.MT. as a neutral.
Forget the loose screws, it's obvious that this conduit is being used as a current carrying conductor.
when there is screw loose heat will occur then the joint will damage
Seen this before. A 240 volt cooler had a 120 defrost timer. No neutral, but a good conduit for ground
The conductivity of die cast zinc connectors is about as poor as the conductivity of the steel EMT-about 10-25% of what a copper wire has. Looks like a great arguement for always running a green ground wire inside every conduit instead of relying on the EMT. I spent 13 years maintaining a 237 unit high rise apartment building and found many, many pulled apart EMT connections in the various shafts running up through the building. Service people would step on the conduits while repairing plumbing, etc. in the risers and that would leave kitchen receptacles un grounded as well as others in the units. Maybe its time to revise this short cut wiring method that works but leaves room for problems to occur over the life of a building. A lot of these problems with EMT could be prevented by not allowing conduit to be routed across a riser as the shortest route to an end point. All EMT should be close to a wall, etc. Maybe the 1951 code allowed this and it never happens today but.............

I am on the verge of buying a F.W. machine in Oregon, the problem is, I live in Southern California.
How should it be packaged? What is the best way to ship it?
HELP!! :shock:
Bonnie Hunter over at www.quiltville.com has had some bad experiences with shipped machines. You could try emailing her for some pointers?
Wrap it so that it can be dropped from a significant height and not damaged. Seriously. I've had 3 bad experiences with mailed machines. And the common factor in all of them was terrible packaging. Bubble wrap the heck out of it. Make sure all attachments and foot control are similarly wrapped and not able to fly about the box. Make sure the machine is packaged tightly in the box and is stationary in the box. If you hear it move about, it's not safe.
It may be worth the cost to you, to have it professionally wrapped and shipped by a shipping store. It would be insured and if there's any damage you won't be out anything.
Thanks ladies! I was thinking that she could wrap the machine in bubble wrap. Wrap the foot in bubble wrap, same with the attachments. Then wrap that in bubble wrap, put in a box with peanuts, then put that box in another bigger box with more peanuts. So double box it.
Over kill??
not overkill. I make medieval armor and have a LOT of experience with making things absorb impacts..
Double boxing is a KEY element, the other is restricting movement.
The idea double box is that the outer box takes all of the destructive impacts and the inner box hold the internal parts isolated from those shocks.
The most damage occurs when the inertia of a 25+ piece of iron starts moving and then stops suddenly, any slack or "wiggle room" will let that inertia build up and cause damage when it stops moving.
(Kinda like the old "when jumping off of a building it is not the fall that kills you ,it is the sudden stop at the end")
TALK TO THE SELLER before you buy it. Doesn't matter what we say ;)
Google "how to ship a sewing machine" and then TALK TO THE SELLER.
Some sellers are simply uninterested and think locked into its carrying case is enough protection.
It takes about an hour to safely pack a machine and not everyone is willing to do that and just charge straight postage.
I shipped a Featherweight to my Grandson's wife in December via Fedex. I used a LOT of quilt batting remnants to firmly enclose the machine in the case. I then packed it in another box with bubblewrap. At the Fedex store I had them pack the box into another box with more bubble wrap so the sewing machine would not have a chance to move. It arrived safely without damage. I don't trust the post office. To me it was worth the extra expense to ensure the sewing machine arrive without damage.
I HIGHLY recommend this method. I've sent this link to many sellers to help ensure my precious machines make the trip safely.
I've had two different FW shipped to me through eBay. One of them came with a broken bobbin winder and the other one (my white FW :( ) arrived with the spool pin snapped off!! On a FW, the spool pin is permanently attached to the little piece of metal that hold it so I had to find a replacement for it but could only find one for a black FW.
Both the bobbin winder and the spool pin doo-hicky are removable to prevent damage from shipping but most sellers wouldn't think to take them off.
ETA: Here is some good info on packing a FW.... http://www.sew2go.com/fwpacking.htm

[quote user="juice33s"][quote user="Redeyejedi"]
[quote user="juice33s"][quote user="Redeyejedi"][quote user="juice33s"]I like Riley Reiff (LT from Iowa), dude plays with a nasty streak
[/quote]Funny U mention him I started watching himtonight[/quote]
And what do you think? Only real downside is he'll be 24 by next years draft, but from the video I saw he clearly outplayed two 2011 first rounders in JJ watt and Cameron Heyward.
Yeah I was very impressed although it was only 1 game I watched.Im going to look at the Bowl game vs Missouri later.I was much more impressed with Reiff then I was with Martin. Martin has not overly impressed me.I know he was only a Sophomore and he could still get better but he doesnt look to have that elite length U look for either.
Yeah I think Martin might be a tad over rated do to the fact that his super star teammate (Andrew Luck) consistently makes his Olineman look good with his mobility in the pocket.
IMO the most complete package out of the top tackle prospects is Matt Kalil, he's got the size, length and athleticism that you look for in a top 10 pick. Plus the fact that he was able to keep all world athlete Tyron Smith on the right side speaks volumes on the guys skill level.
I havent looked at to much film of the O-lineman so far this year. Im just starting to get into there tapes just now.I will start coming out with a bunch of tapes now. Im going to do Reiff then Mike Adams. Then I might take a look at some of the Top Guards. Im hoping Alo does some of the Olineman because I prefer to do the defensive players.


text: I was wondering if any of you have ever heard/known of a place or person that makes a rear wheel well liner. I know you can't get anything oem which sucks. It looks kinda sloppy when you can see dirt and debris on your bumper and on the inside your fenders IMO. I just want something to clean it up a little. I did have pro flaps which helped some, but I lost those during a muddin/booze cruise adventure at my farm. Any ideas even would be appreciated. Thanks, Adam
