USDA's pilot insurance project can provide insights into producer's demand for different levels of margin protection and the price they are willing to pay.
Livestock Gross Margin for Dairy Cattle (LGM-D) hit the scene in 2008 when USDA authorized it on a pilot basis. When launched, LGM-D was one portion in a suite of risk management products. It is designed to provide insurance coverage against market losses relative to an insured level. That level is the margin between national benchmarks for the milk price and the cost of certain feeds used to produce milk.
Since its inception, dairy producers purchased nearly 3,000 LGM-D contracts. By their nature, the contracts have been for a broad range of coverages over a wide range of premiums. Information about LGM-D's costs and benefits structure are limited, but can tell us something useful about this program which, under the current circumstances, would still be available if the Dairy Security Act and the Dairy Producer Margin Protection Plan (DPMPP) became law.
LGM-D's initial rollout only included 30 states. It didn't ramp up to 48 states until July 2010. Prior to December 2010, farmers paid the full premium. From August 2008 through November 2010 (26 months), farmers in eligible states could execute an LGM-D contract in any or all months and cover milk for up to one year. For example, the November 2010 contract could have covered milk starting in January 2011 and as far out as October 2011.
In December 2010, USDA began subsidizing premiums using a special appropriation designed to support any or all livestock risk insurances. This appropriation existed before; it just had not been allocated to LGM-D. This support proved to be quite popular, and it came at a time when producer interest ran high following the disastrous downturn of early 2009, and the weak period that extended well into 2010.
The downside of these subsidies was that once this limited pot of funds was exhausted, no more contracts could be sold. Under USDA's rules, farmers could not go back to paying the full premiums, even if they wanted to buy them. Once that money was gone, the whole program had to be deactivated for the remainder of the fiscal year. Contracts were offered during four months, December 2010 through March 2011.
The subsidy program was revived with the new federal fiscal year in October 2011, but there was only enough funding to support a two-month sign-up period. Again, keep in mind that the number of months of milk production that can be covered is greater than the number of months one could sign up.
The level of the subsidy varied with the deductible chosen by the producer. Knowledgeable sources believe the most common deductible chosen by producers was about $1 per hundredweight (cwt.). It also has been suggested this deductible offered the most favorable balance between farmer-funded premiums and those paid by the government.
How did it perform?
For the 50 months spanning from August 2008 through September 2012, a producer only could execute a contract for 22 of them. The milk production period covered could be longer. However, we can say that 20 of the 22 months when farmers could make a decision took place during the worst margin performance months in the last 80 years for dairy farmers.
Prior to the USDA subsidy, the amount of milk covered relative to eligible milk was under 1 percent. Once the subsidy program was implemented, participation bumped up to about 2.5 percent, and premiums were paid on about 2,300 policies.
We don't know how many unique farmers bought the policies. The same farmer could have had four policies corresponding to the program's four fiscal years. If each policy represented a different farmer, this amounts to less than 4 percent of all producers. However, the actual percentage of farmers is certainly less than that.
"Actuarially fair" premiums require complex calculations, but the purpose is simple. As a general rule, the methodology is designed so total premiums paid over a long time period equal the total cost of indemnities paid out plus reasonable administrative costs. In the case of this program offered through USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA), the administrative and operating (A&O) costs of a private insurer that sells the product are actually paid separately. USDA directly reimburses insurers for A&O costs, following a complex set of rules. So, the total cost of RMA insurance is the premium plus the direct payment for A&O. I estimate that about $10 million was paid by USDA for A&O.
In any one year, premium revenue can exceed indemnities. This is referred to as an underwriting gain. If indemnities exceed premiums in a given year, there is an underwriting loss. As with all other forms of insurance, it is the insurers' goal to build a reserve from underwriting gains. That reserve will cover large losses that will occur from time to time. On top of this traditional logic, USDA also is required by law to add 3 percent to the "actuarially fair" premium for this program to guarantee a USDA reserve.
The premiums aren't fixed. They change every month and are driven by the CME futures contract prices for Class III milk, corn, and soybean meal. Those futures contracts are the basis for determining eligible coverage amounts, potential liabilities, and potential indemnity payments. Premiums also will depend on the specific insurance coverages chosen by the producer and deductibles that can be chosen by the producer in 10 cent per cwt. increments up to $2.
Is it sustainable?
Since 2008, dairy farmers have paid $25 million in premiums. The USDA subsidy is an additional $20 million. Above and beyond this, USDA has paid nearly $10 million directly to insurers for their administrative and operating costs. So, the program's total out-of-pocket cost is roughly $55 million.
Of this, $1.3 million is retained by USDA as the legally required "reserve." In addition to the $10 million that goes to insurers for administrative costs, another $800,000 was paid to the original developers of the LGM-D product as part of a contract fee. About $1 million was paid to farmers in indemnities. This leaves a little less than $43 million of underwriting gain . . . excess premiums that are available to the insurer or USDA (the reinsurer) to cover future losses.
Let's go back over that.
1. Participation by dairy farmers, even when the premium is heavily subsidized, is a very small percentage of total U.S. milk or the total number of dairy farms.
2. Federal subsidies took participation from minuscule to tiny.
3. The total program cost is $55 million, less than half of which is paid by farmers.
4. Farmers received $1 million in indemnities, with the rest going back to either insurance companies or USDA.
5. If future indemities require, insurers must use their reserve to pay. There is no other backup or Treasury funds.

Prominent expert in looted art to speak at Binghamton University Homecoming
As part of Homecoming weekend at Binghamton University, Dieter Binder will present "The Long Shadow of National Socialism: Austria's Struggle with the Restitution of Looted Art" at 3 p.m. Saturday, October 14, at Casadesus Recital Hall located in the Fine Arts building on the University campus. This presentation is free and open to the public.
Binder was a mediator in the case of Altmann vs. the Republic of Austria, which led to the recent restitution of several Klimt paintings. The paintings, from the collection of Ferdinand and Adele Bloch Bauer, have been restored to their owners and are being exhibited at the Neue Galerie in New York City.
Binder's speech will be the inaugural event in the Larry Wells Annual Lecture Series, which is sponsored by the Wells Family and an alumna of the Binghamton University German program, Doris Braun, in honor of the late Binghamton University Professor Larry Wells.
Binder also has a special Binghamton connection. He taught courses on Austrian cultural history in the University's study abroad program at the University of Graz from l979-l992. Since 2003, he has taught as guest professor at the Andrassy University of Budapest, where he was asked to serve as dean in 2006-2007.
Binder is also a member of the Austrian military-historical commission for monuments and has been its chairman since 2004.

Manometers or pressure gauges have been used to measure air pressures for more than 200 years. The fathers of our industry used these gauges to learn about the mysteries of fans and duct systems. We use these same instruments (Although a little updated) to reveal similar mysteries about the systems we install and service today. Measuring pressure is just as critical in our time. Without testing and using the right tools, many technicians make incorrect assumptions about air capacities ...

A Manic Pixie Dream Girl or MPDG, is a term coined by film critic Nathan Rabin after seeing Elizabethtown. It refers to "that bubbly, shallow cinematic creature that exists solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures." A pretty, outgoing, whacky female romantic lead whose sole purpose is to help broody male characters lighten up and enjoy their lives.
In Garden State, Natalie Portman was a Manic Pixie Dream Girl.
by Marge Gunderson October 19, 2008
A female character who's entire character is based around a guy's shallow definition of a "perfect girl", a nerd's wet dream girlfriend. She plays all the games he plays, likes everything he likes, and probably has a pixie cut or some other radical hairstyle. She probably has a "perfect body" but hides it under baggy clothes, and wears nothing but nerdy video game centric t shirts or ridiculously over the top outfits that are practically costumes.
Guy: I'm not like other guys who are shallow and just want a blonde bimbo, I want a girl who plays video games and embraces life like me. She's beautiful but doesn't know it, and she loves nerdy stuff!

New to keeping chickens in the garden - help needed
Thinking of having chickens - but what do you do when you go on holiday?
What about a housing system that can be transported on a trailer to a relative a couple of miles down the road? Any thoughts?
If you have chickens do you need to be around at dawn and dusk everyday to let them in and out?

Re: New to keeping chickens in the garden - help needed
I see a lot of debates about eglus V wooden house, the topic then goes onto the cost of each, it amazes me that people want to spend money on this. Ive a collection of sheds on my land, each one getting better and more complicated as I improve my technique, the one thing they have in common is they are all built out of old pallets, my only expense is I cover them with a waterproof cover and then use cheap, sometimes free ( I like free) tongue and groove wood to make them look professional. My chickens free range, often they go off over the neighbouring land, but are always back in there house at dusk. My other birds cant get over the fence but have the run of just over 1000 sqm.
As you want to keep them in the garden you need to think about, Dogs, Foxes and the height of your fence. A fox when finding free range chicks will take one, however in a confined area will kill them all. I don't clip wings, and because of the way I'm set up, the chicks have a chance of getting away from the fox. Having 5 dogs and my goats also discourages the fox.

I bought a seconhand eglu last march and now would never be without garden chickens!!!
The eglu is easy to keep clean and is ideal for taking to a friends house when you go on holiday! The only problem would be persuading the friend to let you have them back again!!!!

Re: New to keeping chickens in the garden - help needed
Hi folks
3 weeks ago I got 4 hens from a farm that would have been turned into dog food. The farm keeps them for about 15 months then they get in new stock. I was a bit worried about taking on this type of hen as I am new to keeping hens and I thought that they would need more attention than I could offer.
The poor hens had never seen the light of day before and had slight baldy patches. They are now loving life, we get 2-3 eggs per day and they are HUGE!! I cant even fit them into the egg boxes designed for large eggs, the lid will not go down. They all have different personalities and I have named them all, its funny as visitors cant tell the difference to look at them but I can.
We open the coop door at about 7 in the morning and they go into the run which is attached. As long as someone is in the house I let them out of the run and they wander around their new garden and attempt to come into the back door - I dont let them in. If we are not at home the run is secure enough to leave them there.
At 7pm they are always in the coop snuggled up for bed so we shut the door. I think that in the winter as the day gets shorter they will go to bed a bit earlier and in the summer they will stay up longer.
It is lovely having the hens in the garden, they are lucky ladies! I feel quite good about rescuing them but I cant help thinking about the amount of hens that are stuck in those cages just now. I know they are there for a reason but in this day and age there is no excuse. People have been turning a blind eye to this for too long. I dont know anyone who would eat a caged hens egg if they sat in front of them and watched it suffering.
For the little time/expense that is needed to keep them we get about 16 eggs a week(I think that this will increase in the summer). I dont know how much a supermarket would charge for these as some of them are so big, put it this way it is well worth it.
I will not be eating my hens but I am certainly eating thier eggs - guilt free
PS dont get a cockrel if you have close neighbours.

You can still lower your head. Just as long as its a situation in which the RB is doing it for protection rather than a weapon.
I say to wait until the refs make it a problem with their inability to call it before making a big a deal about it. I think it's a good rule change.
The execution of the rule can't be discussed until it's, well, executed.
You can lower your shoulder, just as long as you detach your head from your body first.....Then it's okay.

The Group Leader will always be happy to offer suggestions. Program activities, schedules, personnel, and indicated distances or times may change due to local conditions/circumstances including weather. In the event of changes, we will alert you as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
Dinner: In the Criollo Restaurant, we'll have plated and served meals with coffee, tea, water beverage choices.
Evening: At leisure. Live music fills the Carousel Bar & Lounge overlooking Royal Street right inside our historic hotel — a French Quarter landmark since 1886. The Carousel evokes a spirit of fun with the renowned Merry-Go-Round, the city's only revolving bar. Have a welcome drink on us! Live music continues on Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
Activity note: Walk 1 block from hotel to bus for field trip; walk 3 blocks from bus for lunch.
Breakfast: In the hotel, order from a select menu with coffee, tea, water beverage choices.
Morning: In this introduction to New Orleans, learn about our history and culture, traditions, celebrations, people, and what it means when we say, "It's a New Orleans thing." The entertaining class is taught by a humorist who has lived here all her life. She exudes the "joie de vivre" that makes New Orleanians distinctively memorable.
Lunch: Depending on which group you are in, either Monday or Tuesday will be lunch at the renowned Commander's Palace. The other group will eat out independently and the next day we'll switch. The cuisine at Commander's has been described as a blend of Haute Creole and modern New Orleans. This restaurant is one of the few to win the coveted James Beard Award (the "Oscars" of the food world).
Afternoon: We'll board a motorcoach and continue our delightful introduction to New Orleans as our instructor points out significant sites and reveals more about the city's people, traditions, and unique culture. We'll have some stops along the way (depending on timing and weather).
Dinner: Enjoy delicious New Orleans cuisine at one of the city's top restaurants and order from a select menu.
Evening: At leisure. Experience nightlife in the French Quarter. If you're a music aficionado, there are lots of options. You'll have a voucher (drink included) for Fritzel's European Jazz Club and for Maison Bourbon Jazz Club. The Quarter has something to offer for almost every interest and taste.
Activity note: Walking 8 blocks in the Garden District.
Breakfast: Hotel select menu choices.
Morning: Following a background presentation by a local expert, we'll board the motorcoach and become immersed in New Orleans architecture. We'll learn about various types of iron works, architecture, and historic homes with some stops along the way. We'll then set out on a walking field trip with a local architect in the aptly named Garden District, one of the loveliest neighborhoods in the country. It was laid out in 1832 for incoming, well-to-do Americans who were not interested in mingling with native New Orleanians. The feeling was mutual! Grand houses were built on large lots that encouraged the development of beautiful gardens.
Lunch: The group that ate out on their own yesterday will dine at Commander's Palace and the others will have lunch independently.
Afternoon: Back at the hotel, enjoy a musical surprise with some New Orleans grassroots musicians. The grassroots music scene developed after Katrina out of a need for hard hit local musicians to have opportunities for performing and networking.
Dinner: Out at another excellent restaurant.
Evening: At leisure. Go out to experience more New Orleans night life, music, and culture. If you haven't used it yet, your voucher for Fritzel's or Maison Bourbon is good any night. Or have a relaxed evening at the hotel. The choice is yours.
Activity note: Walk at your own pace through the World War II Museum; benches available.
Breakfast: Hotel select menu choices.
Morning: Go to the National World War II Museum, and see the film "Beyond All Boundaries" narrated by Tom Hanks. Through first person accounts and amazing special effects, we'll take a journey through the war that changed the world. Formerly known as the D-Day Museum, the National World War II Museum was founded by eminent historian Dr. Stephen Ambrose, author "Band of Brothers" and other best-sellers. A self directed exploration takes us through three buildings that house exhibits highlighting the role of participants from world leaders to the everyday men and women whose contributions helped to win the war, as well as those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Many items in the vast collection — such as uniforms, weaponry, vehicles, medals, diaries, letters, artwork, photographs, and other mementos — are on display while thousands of records and archives are available to scholars for ongoing research.
Lunch: At the National World War II Museum, we'll have vouchers for lunch in the restaurant.
Afternoon: Stay as long as you like at the WW2 Museum or return by bus to the French Quarter for some free time. Use vouchers for the Cabildo or Presbytere. On your own ride the Natchez paddlewheeler or peruse the many art galleries near the WW2 or on Royal Street.
Dinner: On your own to enjoy what you like. The Group Leader will be happy to offer suggestions. If you have something special in mind, we recommend making reservations in advance.
Evening: At leisure. Take this time to experience more of our very special city and what it has to offer.
Activity note: Walk 5 blocks from hotel to Cooking School.
Breakfast: Hotel select menu choices.
Morning: We'll be joined by the managing editor of the Tennessee Williams Journal, whose love of writing and New Orleans is evident in her enthusiastic lectures. We'll learn about some of the famous writers who lived in and wrote about the French Quarter including William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams, John Kennedy Toole, and more.
Lunch: At the world renowned New Orleans School of Cooking, an expert local chef will teach us how to cook Creole and Cajun, and explain the difference. We'll see the preparation of a traditional dish, then have it for lunch. For dessert, we'll sample the best pralines in town and other surprises!
Afternoon: Free Time. Take this opportunity for personal independent exploration to see and do what interests you most. Please refer to the list of Free Time Opportunities. The Group Leader will be happy to offer suggestions. We'll have vouchers to explore the Cabildo and Presbytère flanking St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson Square. All were constructed during the Spanish period (1795-1799). The Cabildo was the center of government. The Presbytère, built on the site of what had been the residence of Capuchin monks, was used for commercial purposes. Both are now key components of the Louisiana State Museum. The Cabildo displays artifacts of American history as well as rarities such as Napoleon's death mask. The Presbytère's interactive exhibit on Mardi Gras traces our annual celebration from its origins to the present day with an exquisite collection of artifacts and memorabilia. Another exhibit expresses Louisiana's saga of resilience in the face of disasters. You might also like to stroll along Royal Street with its antique shops, visit the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, or go for a ride on the paddlewheeler "Natchez" — last authentic steamboat on the Mississippi. There are so many opportunities to experience our people, cultures, and celebrations.
Dinner: We'll dine around at special New Orleans eateries and share favorite experiences with new Road Scholar friends.
Evening: One more opportunity to enjoy New Orleans Jazz with your voucher if you haven't used it yet, or on your own wherever you like. Then prepare for check out and departure following our final event in the morning.
Activity note: Walk 4 blocks to/from restaurant. Hotel check out by 12:00 Noon.
Brunch: At the celebrated Court of Two Sisters, we'll settle in for a true New Orleans delight, the Jazz brunch. The elaborate buffet offers tasty hot and cold New Orleans favorites from eggs any style to Creole jambalaya, grits and grillades, gumbo, classic desserts, and much more; coffee, tea, water included, other beverages available for purchase. Tap your toes to the music of the restaurant's resident Jazz trio. Enjoy this final dining and musical experience with a broader and deeper understanding and appreciation of our city, the one and only New Orleans. This concludes our program. We hope you enjoy Road Scholar learning adventures and look forward to having you on rewarding programs in the future. Please join our Facebook page and share photos of your program.

In 2005, the last traditional Routemaster bus ran through Brixton on Route 159. The bus garage situated at Streatham, Telford Avenue is known as Brixton Garage to distinguish it from another bus garage that existed in Streatham. The "Brixton Bus Garage" was until 1952 a tram depot.

Comfort has been a great place. Very comfotable and clean. The room was exactly as it was shown on the pictures. We will come back.
We really enjoy London thanks to Comfort's room.
She let us all necessary info to get to Brixton station, it takes abt 20 min to get there and after that you are totally connected to every part of London!
We warmly suggest it!
Nice Flat near Brixton, large room in a quiet area. In 40 minutes you can go to the city centre by bus (maybe less with the underground). Total availability from the owner. Good experience (it was my first experience with WIMDU).
We had a great time in London. The room was nice and with the bus/underground you're in London in about 30 min. The contact with Comfort is good and we had a nice welcom from Bunmi. Thank you for the lovely staying
Really good experience. The Comfort's sister was very kind! We waiting for you in Italy!! ;-)
The room was clean and consistent with the description. Only problem, the wi-fi was not working. Very pleasant stay with a very calm and quiet neighborhood.
We have had a very good time in this house. Everything was clean and tidy and brand new forniture. Easy to get around even though to get the house from the bus stop is like 10 min walking distance.
+ The room we got (top room) was neat & clean. Nothing fancy, but definitely sufficient for our needs. It had a nice view (considering this is London!) on a little park/playing ground at the back of the house.
+ Comfort and her sister (and the other people we've seen at the house) were all very nice and welcoming.
+ Neighbourhood was nice, we never felt threatened or in danger even though we walked home in the dark a couple of times. Bus station was a 10min walk and went straight to the Brixton station. Convenient little neighbourhoodsupermaket 200m from the front door.
- The common kitchen downstairs wasn't all that clean, it felt like everything had a thin layer of grease on it.. We planned on using the kitchen but ended up not using it again after our first Pizza in the oven. We didn't mind really, but don't expect a shiny clean kitchen.
Would definitely recommend, and for this price in London this is a great place to stay!

Got a swarm call. When I arrived I found them in a pine tree at about shoulder height, so naturally I thought this would be easy pickens. Placed the box underneath and gave the branch a jolt and 90% of the bees go in box. I close the box and wait for them to fan and watch the rest march in. I've done this about 1/2 dozen times before so I was feeling fairly confident.
Well, sometimes it just doesn't work out. In seconds, the bees inside start to pour out, so I obvioulsy didn't get the queen. OK.... what amazed me was how quickly they vanished. No re-settling back on the branch, no swirling mass of bees, nothing.... they just seemed to fly off into the blue yonder... and I couldn't even tell what direction... it was that quick.
I realize you can't get them everytime, but takes a little swagger out of your step when you drive 15 miles and tell the property owner how confident you are, etc., when there's a ball of bees inches from your face that manage to get away.
In retrospect, since I was nearly eye level with this swarm, is there any merit in trying to spot the queen and nabbing her rather than shaking all the bees into a box? Is that realistic?

In our recently published review of deals in 2010 (FPP deals: Branching out 2010) we saw deal momentum starting to return to the FPP sector, and we expect to see an upturn in deal value in 2011. That's because of a number of important themes which are underpinning deal momentum:
After years of waiting, the time has come for consolidation in Europe. Talk has turned to action with previously reluctant sellers starting to make their moves. In North America consolidation is continuing against a background of stagnant or declining domestic markets. In other regions where the industry is on the growth path, consolidation will also be an important theme, moving at different paces as markets evolve and it will be more attuned to growth rather than contraction.
We also expect to see more deal flow from companies looking to access new geographic markets. This is taking place in different sectors in different ways. In Japan, the paper makers face a steady decline in domestic demand and they are likely to continue their hunt for targets in faster growth Asian countries to internationalise their reach. Global paper companies will also continue to look for opportunities to extend their presence. Downstream, companies are seeking to build global businesses and brands in high value added segments such as personal hygiene and tissue, with investment focusing on high growth market opportunities.
The Asian fibre deficit, most notably in China, will be a continued force behind outbound acquisitions of foreign fibre resources by Chinese and other Asian companies. Private equity has returned to the sector and is playing a very large part in the downstream sector, in packaging and converting. Finally, we see a continued flow of institutional money going into timberlands, a flow which is becoming more global, attracting institutions from Europe, Asia and South America as well as the traditional North American funds.

text: I'm sure there are P11s used for home protection. I have one but due to heavy trigger, light weight & short sight radius, I don't shoot it as well as PF9s or P3AT. Your wife probably needs to try the trigger and working the slide to chamber a round. If you both could shoot it first, even better. A good used 38 sp/357(loaded w/ 38s) revolver might work better for first handgun.

Very nice apartment. Quiet but still very close to the citycentre. Eric is a very nice host. I have stayed twice at this place, and if I come back to Lyon again I will try to stay at this place.
The small apartment was clean, comfortable, and had everything you need. The sofa was incredibly comfy! The green shared backyard was nice to look at - unfortunately our stay was not long enough to enjoy a quiet break there. Eric was a great host and provided us with useful tips. So thank you, Eric! We can definitely recommend this apartment.
Stayed at Eric's apartment for a few weeks. The apartment had all the basics and was comfortable. Well located to get around on foot, the proximity to the Rhone makes many of the walks particularly enjoyable. Great value for money. It was very easy to contact Eric which made the stay smooth. Thanks!
I stay in appartment one week. It's small but nice and clean place. Everithing was very good. Thanks
This charming appartement provides all you need for a holiday and more. It is situated near to all facilities you need ( supermarkets, bakery, restaurants and bars ) and it is just a short walk to reach the center of the quarter of Croix-Rousse with lots of artists, charming shops, more supermarkets and beautiful views of Lyon.
To reach the center / old town of Lyon it is a walk of just 15 to 20 minutes.
Thank you, dear Eric. Everything was so simple. We love your small flat with the great position near the Rhone. Thank you for having two nice days in Lyon. Perhaps, see you again.
We loved the appartement, the location was perfect and the appartement was very clean and comfortable.
We strongly recommend Eric as host, everything went easy and smooth. The appartement is in à great location With à good view of the Rhône. Book this appartement if you want to have a great time in Lyon.

Just looking for someone who' been lucky to get steering vibrations problem fixed on their Lariet or Mark LT.I have 2006 Mark LT and this truck has vibration in steering when driving above 50mph. the vibration gets pretty bad when driving on the highway the vibration seems to coming from the front end and gets transmitted thru steering. I have taken the truck back to the dealership about 6 times and they have tried bunch of things from balancing tired numerous times to replacing front two tires. Just few weeks ago they replaced drive shaft, trans mounts and dampner for steering , but that didn;t do anything and vibration is till the same.I also found some info somone had posted on one of the forums to get the front wheels indexed got that done but still no help.Now the dealership tells me thay cant do anything further, so i ended up calling Lincoln and after Lincoln to dealship and called me back and told me that this how this truck is suppose to drive. I am just hoping i can get some help about this problem becuz i am quiet sure that there are many owners with this problem but hopefully somone was able to get this issue resolved.Thanks.
You most likely need a front-end alignment. My brother's Explorer had a lot of vibration in the wheel, and he had new tire put on and it didn't help. After he got a front-end alignment, the vibration was gone. If it's not tires causing vibration, then it usually means you front-end needs to be realigned.
there is two TSBs out for tries on your truck.Make : LINCOLN Model : MARK LT Year : 2006Manufacturer : FORD MOTOR COMPANY Service Bulletin Num : 052624 Date of Bulletin: JAN 01, 2005NHTSA Item Number: 10018938 Component: TIRESSummary:VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS - TIRE/WHEEL RUNOUT. *TTCheck to Request Research.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Never saw this site before, and I've already downloaded the Halloween blocks available so far! Love it!
It took me a few minutes to figure out how to get to the patterns. After clicking on the block I wanted, you have to click on DOWNLOAD and then wait for it to download. It will give you the option of opening or saving. I clicked on OPEN so I could print it out. Just have to patient because it's slow going.

caught the queen in my ob hive laying up a small patch of brood today. I couldn't see any that had hatched so either the workers are destroying the eggs (will they do that if they are not ready to brood?) or she just got started. I assume all the hives outside are at a different place, but neat to see things starting to happen again. It has been pretty boring in there for the past few months.
Very little pollen in the hive. I have not decided yet what to do about that.

NOT your Grandma's Lemonade Stand
After a review of elementary economic concepts, students will apply their understanding by playing an online computer game, Lemonade Stand. This game has the students competing against themselves and others to earn the biggest profit in 25 days time (approximately 15 minutes computer time). "Daily" economic advice helps students find out where they fail in understanding the demand and supply sides of economics. Fun!
Choice, Consumers, Demand, Price, Producers, Scarcity, Supply
- Identify what they gain and what they give up when they make choices.
- Identify people as consumers and/or producers.
- Predict how prices change when the number of buyers in a market
- Identify the risk of being an entrepreneur.
Are your students able to apply economic concepts in the real world? In this lesson the students will be able to test that ability in a cyber-world where they can decide to sell lemonade in a host of different cities, in all kinds of weather, and with a cyber-economist giving them daily advice. Before they slip into the cyber-world, however, they need to brush up on all those concepts they have been learning.
Rockwell's Lemonade Stand: The link below provides a review of basic elementary concepts on what it would take to open a lemonade stand. This old-fashioned picture painted by Norman Rockwell will serve as a reminder of what Grandma's lemonade stand might have been like and the concepts it teaches.
goo.gl/j8cTt (old-fashioned painting by Norman Rockwell)
Lemonade Stand Questions: The students will open the link to answer questions about opening a lemonade stand.
Lemonade Stand Activity
Lemonade Stand Cyber Version: The students should click on the link to see what the concepts look like in a cyber version. The concepts are listed and explained.
PDF Worksheet: The students should use this PDF worksheet to help with the lemonade stand activity.
Click on picture painted by Norman Rockwel . This old-fashioned picture will serve as a reminder of what Grandma's lemonade stand might have been like and the concepts it teaches.
The students are asked to answer questions about the Norman Rockwell picture in this online interactive activity.
Students should use this PDF worksheet to help with the following lemonade stand activity.
The students need to click on the Lemonade Stand Cyber Version and discuss the possible decisions they must make in order to play the game. What city should they sell in? Clicking the cities allow the students to see the data needed for making a decision. How many cups to buy, how much to charge, how much to spend for advertising - these are all the normal decisions made by entrepreneurs every day!
[NOTE: A lemonade stand has the potential for teaching most economic standards! It is hard to limit just what the students need to know in order to apply the concepts. Prior knowledge of these concepts will influence how "deep" the teacher needs to go with the students. It should be noted that the even though the lesson deals with mostly the demand side of the lemonade stand, the game handles both the demand and the supply side.]
After the students play the game, a reflection time would be advisable.
- In what circumstances did they succeed?
- When did they fail? How was the profit figured?
- What would they do differently?
- Did they listen to the expert advice?
- How did the buyers affect the price they charged?
- How did their pricing affect the numbers of buyers?
- What choices had to be made?
- What did they gain by those choices and what did they give up?
- What are the risks taken by the entrepreneurs?
Have the students play the game again and change selling locations. Have them charge more (or less) than they did the first time. Have them change just one thing and see what a difference it makes. Possibilities are endless!
Entrepreneurs deal with choices, scarcity issues, and non-price determinants in demand every day. Would you be willing to become an entrepreneur?
"The lemonade activity was wonderful. I am only exploring today, but I plan to using your lessons in the fall. I believe my students will enjoy the activities."
"This is an outstanding activity that is truly cross-curricular. My class and I loved it!"
"This lesson was great for my 8th grade Social Studies classes. I used it for a Pre-AP class and a "regular" class. In both, students responded positively and understood supply anddemand. They worked well together as a whole class and encouraged each other in raising/lowering prices and number of cups made. I really enjoyed watching them work together and seeing their eyes light up when they "got it"!!"
"My kids loved it! They even said can we do it again."

Benelli Super Black Eagle II Left-Hand 28 Inch 12 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun Synthetic Stock, Max4 HD Finish is on the cutting edge of shotgun innovation. All other shotguns and shotgun brands are judged in comparison to the Super Black Eagle II. This inertia driven shotgun is the fastest shooting shotgun in the world while having up to 48 less recoil with the same amount of moving parts. The Benelli Super Black Eagle line of shotguns was the original 3.5 inch 12 gauge shotgun, and thus has the most experience with that caliber. The inertia driven bolt can handle all 2.75, 3, and 3.5 inch rounds without modifications or adjustments.
The Super Black Eagle II weighs 13 to 15 percent less than the competition, which equates to about one pound less. A ComforTech system reduces muzzle climb by 15 percent, allowing target reaquisition to be 69 percent faster.
Inertia Driven System:
Simplicity is the deciding factor of the best and most reliable guns. The three parts of the inertia system are the bolt body, inertia spring, and rotating bolt head. This system can cycle anything from light trap loads to 3.5 inch magnum field loads. The inertia system stays cleaner by keeping the gas, burnt powder, and smoke in the barrel where they are supposed to be. The reduced mass in the inertia system helps the gun cycle faster. Steel locking lugs lock the bolt in place during firing and they lock even tighter during firing.
ComforTech System:
Benelli reached out to computer specialists, material scientists, and design engineers to help design a new recoil system for shotguns. Their work resulted in the ComforTech system, a revolutionary system that is subject to the laws of physics, but its design and materials reduce recoil as much as 48 percent over the competition. The new recoil pad is designed to spread the recoil across your entire shoulder. The pad is made of a more shock absorbing material with no hard inner structures that would hit your shoulder. The computer designed stock flexes into the recoil reducing material to further reduce recoil. Recoil pads designed for Super Black Eagle shotguns are specific to which shoulder you use to even further customize and reduce recoil.
Crio System:
Cryogenic treated metal becomes smoother, and more even grained than regular steel. Cryogenically treated steel is changed at the molecular level when exposed to temperatures less than negative 300 degrees F. This extreme cold relieves all stresses related with the design and construction of Benelli barrels. This slicker barrel holds patterns longer and stays clean much longer. When combined with a longer and also cryogenically treated choke tube the pattern and accuracy is much better than all other factory barrels and choke tubes.
AirTouch Grip:
The AirTouch grip surface gives the user a much better surface to hold onto in wet or dry conditions. The surface is not too aggressive for bare hands, and comes standard on all ComforTech stocks. The advanced molding techniques used by Benelli make this AirTouch checkering pattern the best in the world.

Napoleon climbs up the ladder, takes a running start and leaps into the pool. He splashes down, and the crowd cheers. As Napoleon swims to the edge of the pool, he looks excited. It might sound a lot like a diving event at the Olympics, but this sport is for a different type of competitor—the furry, tail-wagging type. It is called dog diving.
Napoleon, a black Labrador retriever, has been participating in the sport for two years. That is not the only thing that makes Napoleon special. The person who trains him and handles him at dog-diving events is Ashley Amdor, a 10-year-old kid!
Get in the Game!
Ashley became interested in the sport of dog diving while at a state fair near her home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She saw the dog divers competing to leap the farthest into a pool, and thought Napoleon would be good at the sport because he loves the water.
When her parents tried working with Napoleon he didn't do well, so Ashley decided to try it herself. With Ashley as his trainer, Napoleon caught right on, leaping as far as 24 feet at a time! Working together, Ashley and Napoleon have forged a special bond. "Napoleon is my best friend," Ashley told TFK. "He loves me for who I am and has taught me to treat others that way."
"Ruf" Competition
On June 30, Ashley and Napoleon participated in a competition in Denver, Colorado. Dogs showed off their skills in several fur-raising events, from jumping over hurdles to catching flying disks. As usual, Napoleon focused on the diving portion of the competition.
To warm up, Ashley took Napoleon on a walk, had him practice fetching and stretched him out. "Napoleon was scared when he first arrived at the competition," said Ashley. "But when he focused, he did a good job." Leaping into the water to grab his favorite toy, Napoleon took sixth place out of nine.
It was not enough to qualify for the upcoming "Dog Olympics," officially known as the Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge. But that won't stop Napoleon and Ashley from pressing on. In August, the duo will participate in the Dock Dogs competition. Sounds like a great way to spend the dog days of summer!

One on One with Freelance Whales
With their next album set to drop October 9th, Freelance Whales reminisces about busking on the streets of NYC and what it's like to play major festivals.
A few years ago you may have seen this group of musicians playing on the bustling streets of NYC on your way to work. Now they've signed to a label and are touring around the world for a sea of fans that pay to see them without having to aim for their guitar case. Freelance Whales not only attract bigger crowds; their sound is bigger as well. Their first album, which garnered the attention of Entertainment Weekly and Spin, was released three years ago, so a lot has changed for the band musically since then. We had a chance to sit down with the band at this year's Osheaga to talk about what's next as their sophomore album Diluvia is set to come out October 9th.
Playboy.com: How is your sophomore LP coming along?
Judah Dadone: It's done! We actually recorded it in the late winter with producer Shane Stoneback, who has worked with bands like Vampire Weekend, Cults and Sleigh Bells. We met him a few months earlier after sending him some demos we had been working on. He took a liking to it and really wanted to help us take our new sound somewhere. So we did the record in two months and now it's done. It's weird; it felt like it went slowly, but now looking back on it all it went by really fast.
Playboy.com: Were there any new instruments you hadn't worked with previously on Diluvia?
Chuck Criss: Yeah, a ton of new instruments actually: trumpets; organs; synthesizers that we hadn't worked with before, like analog, and also a Chinese Synth, which was pretty cool too. Samplers which we used as pedals…Shane also had a ton of instruments in his studio we hadn't even seen before, so it was pretty cool to get them all on the record.
Dadone: We could use all of the same instruments and alter the sound through technique, but utilizing all of these new pieces made it feel like a different sensation. Our first record felt small and enclosed; the songs feel like they're taking place in small rooms in a house. With our next record I think it feels a lot more spatial, with a lot of swirling electronic sounds, as if it's shot into the stratosphere, taking up a lot more atmospheric space.
Playboy.com: You guys used to play on the streets of NYC, and now you're playing major festivals. Is it something that you miss?
Kevin Read: I definitely miss playing the subway; with festivals it's a totally different being. It's a lot of fun, but most of the time you get on the stage and you're in a rush to get everything plugged in and be sure the sound is all right before you start playing. It's really stressful. With the subway, it was way more relaxing. A lot of interesting people would come up and talk to you; it was more of a communal thing where this is sort of like a race.
Dadone: The early music we were creating was really suited for that setting, but I think the stuff that we've made since then would feel like we'd be forcing it in that mold if we would attempt to play in a subway. It would be a fun experiment, but it was just so natural; now it would be a chore to make it fit.
Playboy.com: Because you have so many pieces in the band, you guys are hit with a lot of people saying you sound like others.
Doris Cellar: I feel for the new record, it's something I could only hope for because I feel like it's so true to my heart — it's something that doesn't sound like anything I've ever heard. So I hope people feel the same way.
Dadone: With the first record I can say, "Yeah, it does make sense that people would make certain comparisons." I think we have learned a lot of moves from bands like Broken Social Scene and Stars, but with this new record I can say there's not much of it that [feels] like anything else I've ever heard before. That's something I'm really proud of. With music, the first thing you have to do is make something pleasant, and secondly you have to make a piece that will challenge or give them something they don't have already.

Two students win internships with Wilmer Hale
February 5, 2013
Steven Helton and Zachary Van Horn, students in their final semester at Wayne State University Law School, will be spending several months after graduation in the international arbitration practice of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, a 1000+-lawyer firm with offices around the world, and one of the premier international arbitration practices in Europe.
Helton and Van Horn will be the first Wilmer Hale interns in a program initiated by Wayne Law Professors Paul Dubinsky and Gregory Fox, both of whom worked as young lawyers for Wilmer Hale's predecessor law firms -- Hale & Dorr and Wilmer Cutler & Pickering. The idea of an internship abroad in commercial arbitration took off last spring when Gary Born, managing partner of Wilmer Hale's London office, received an honorary degree from the University and gave the commencement speech at the Law School's graduation.
"As I was listening to the speech, I was thinking whether there was some way to get Wilmer Hale involved with Wayne," Dubinsky said.
Wilmer Hale, home to some of the world's foremost experts in commercial arbitration and investor-state arbitration, recently was named "International Arbitration Firm of the Year" by U.S. News magazine. In agreeing to fully fund the intern positions, Wilmer Hale sought students with strong academic records, excellent writing skills and backgrounds in international law. Initially, the firm expected to hire just one intern for 2013. After receiving the batch of student resumes and an overview memo from Fox and Dubinsky, the firm decided to hire two interns.
In anticipation of their work ahead, the students have enrolled in Wayne Law Professor Charles "Chip" Brower's course in international commercial arbitration.
"This is an extraordinary opportunity for Wayne Law students to gain valuable experience at one of the world's leading law firms," said Fox, director of Wayne Law's Program for International Legal Studies. "This experience will be of lasting value to those interested in careers in arbitration, federal litigation, commercial law and international business transactions."
"I applied for this internship because I want to use my law degree to do something different, and whatever I do, I want it to be mentally challenging on a daily basis," Helton said. "International commercial arbitration fits the bill on both fronts. I really look forward to working for Wilmer Hale because it's such a well-respected firm."
Van Horn said one of the draws of Wayne Law for him in the first place was the Program for International Legal Studies and what it has to offer.
"I am very interested in pursuing a career in international arbitration, so this internship is an incredible opportunity for me," he said. "An internship with Wilmer Hale's London international arbitration group presents an excellent opportunity to gain real-world experience."
While at Wayne, both students have profited from the law school's many opportunities to work as research assistants for faculty members and as interns in the Detroit area. Van Horn did internships with the U.S. Department of Commerce's International Trade Administration and with the law firms of Miller Canfield Paddock and Stone PLC. He has served as a research assistant for Fox and as a judicial intern with Executive Magistrate Judge R. Steven Whalen and Senior District Judge Arthur Tarnow, both of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Van Horn grew up in Traverse City and studied performance music before entering law school.
Helton has served as a teaching and research assistant to Wayne Law Professor Anthony Dillof, as a judicial intern to Judge Marian Blank Horn of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, and as a legal assistant in the Detroit law office of Daniel Helton. Helton also serves on the executive board of the Wayne Law Review. He grew up in Riverview in a family of lawyers ("except for my mom, who's an awesome librarian") and completed his undergraduate degree in film studies at Wayne State.
The Wilmer Hale internship is the latest of a series of steps taken by the Program on International Legal Studies to foster career developments in international law for Wayne students. Other initiatives include a series of international public interest law fellowships and a summer internship in the general counsel's office of TATA Motors in Mumbai, India.
