What can happen if you fail to distinguish profits from cash
I mentioned that profits have to do with increased wealth; and increased wealth is not the same as cash. If we fail to understand those differences, we can run into some serious trouble.
I thought I would illustrate what I am talking about. Read the rest of this entry »

Work Would Have Stopped Ironically, work at the mine was to have ceased last night, as die iron ore mining throughout Upper Michigan, because of the- stee strike. The Penokee mine is ownec and operated by Republic Stee: Corp. and the miners were to have gone out on strike. Earl Krause, president of the Penokee local of the CIO United Steelworkers Union, said all the Penokee miners would stay on the job until the fate of their five co- workers became known. Mine officials who went down ti. the cave-in would give no state- ments. They included F. H. Cash, district manager for Republic, and E. W. R. Butcher, chief engineer, Wisconsin Teacher Pension Increase i Unconstitutional MADISON The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled today that law increasing pensions for teach- ers who retired before July 1, 1951 was unconstitutional. The court, by a 6 to 1 decision held that the.law, enacted by the 1851 legislature, grants extra "com- pensation to public servants .after service has been rendered. This, it said, is in violation of the constitution. The opinion, written by Justice Timothy Brown, said that if the law was upheld, it would clear the way for legislation increasing be- nefits for all public employes, in- cluding judges, from time to time after retirement. Justice George Currie dissented. He said that if the law was not upheld all retirement systems would be held in a straight jacket and unable to serve the purpose for which they were established. Adequate security is impaired by inflation, he added. The law would give retired teach- S an additional SI per month tension for each year of service. Teachers were to pay to the state to reopen their contracts. Thirty-three teachers applied for he added pensions but Budget Di- rector E. C. Giessel refused to pay them.

Radio appeals went out last night from IAM officials asking the wild- catters to return to work.

Leaders of both the industry and the striking CIO Steelworkers Un- ion suggested renewed contracts talks but neither side proposed a date for negotiations. Unless the contenders get togeth- er soon, it was believed President Truman would take some new ac- tion to end the the walkout is costing the nation and its crucial defense effort tons of steel daily. Truman had about three choices: (1) sit tight a while to see what the industry and union may accom- plish on their own, (2) invoke the Taft-Hartley Law's 80-day court in- junction provisions against a con- inued strike, or (3) ask Congress for special legislation to deal with the situation. May Invoke T-H A high administration, official said those were .the alternatives being debated at the White House. He expressed a personal opinion to a reporter that Truman would invoke the T-H Act, as many mem- bers of Congress have demanded. Other Truman advisers reportedly were counseling against this, fa- voring the appeal to Congress. Truman is likely to be wary of his next move, in any event, after being rebuffed on his seizure step. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 yes- terday that the President's April 8 order taking over the steel indus- try was unconstitutional. Truman remained'silent on the high court's decision, but Congress members generally applauded it, with some exceptions. Sen. Leh- man (D-Lib-NY) for example, viewed the ruling with dismay, saying: Ne Time For "Congress must act, without a moment's unnecessary delay, to jass essential legislation to give he President the power he needs. This is no time for politics."

It was the Steelworkers' second itrike since their contract expired ast Jan. 1. The first walkout lasted mly three days, April 29-May 1. Truman may first try to persuade The Puerto Rican, Oscar Collazo, ook part in the Blair House as- sassination attempt of Nov. 1, 1950, n which a Washington policeman was killed. Collazo appealed to the Supreme Court to review his murder con- viction and death sentence, but the court unanimously denied him a hearing. Only executive clemency can now save his life. Steel Company vice president and a leading industry negotiator, an- nounced last night that the steel firms, now back in the hands of their private owners, would "sit down with the union without delay to try to reach a fair settlement of the steel strike."

Only after receiving the board's report could Truman authorize seeking of the 80-day court injunction Against a contin- ued strike. Effects of the steel strike began being felt almost immediately. The government embargoed all ship- ments of steel from retail ware- houses to consumer goods produ- cers. However, officials said most manufacturers have at least a month's supply on hand. Automobile manufacturers said they are down to a two-week sup- ply. Some coal, iron ore and other mining facilities began to close because of the rteel stoppage. ;

Soto-Córdova Studios
Artist Statement
Cristina Córdova
Through the primary vehicle of the figure and the materiality of clay I am in constant search for a presence. The recombination of elements that resonate with a personal sense of gender, culture and time give place to compositions that become alternate means of immersion into reality. A reality where the boundaries between the sensorial and psychological become indistinct and where a profound language rooted in intuition and archived experience dictates paradigms. It is through these objects that I begin to understand the indeterminate and ever changing aspects of our humanity.
Artist Bio
Cristina Córdova is a studio artist living in Penland,NC. Originally from Puerto Rico, she received her BA from the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez and went to earn her MFA from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.

One Direction proved that they have well and truly 'arrived' in America, after scooping three gongs at last night's MTV Music Video Awards.
The band comprised of Niall Horan, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson beat off stiff competition, most notably from fellow teenybopper Justin Bieber, to walk away with Best New Artist, Best Pop Video and Most Share-Worthy Video for What Makes You Beautiful.
It was nothing short of a British invasion at last night's awards, as Coldplay won Best Rock Video for Paradise, but were unable to attend, as they were performing in the Netherlands. Calvin Harris managed to add to Brittania's domination last night, as he came away with Best Electronic Dance Music Video for his hit track Feels So Close.
Meanwhile, the most prestigious award of the night – Video of the Year went to Rihanna for her collaborative song with Calvin Harris, We Found Love.
The singer, who was sporting a new pixie hairstyle, kicked off the night's proceedings with a performance of the winning track, which morphed into a medley, featuring Cockiness (I Love It) feat. A$AP and was seen kissing her ex Chris Brown on the lips when her name was announced as the winner.
Katy Perry, who also won a VMA last night – Best Art Direction for her Wide Awake video took to the stage to praise Rihanna's performance and returned to present One Direction with their 'Moonman' gong for Best Pop Video.
Perry kissed each 1D member on the lips and Niall began the thank-yous by saying, "We've grown up watching this show and to even be here is an honour."
It must have been a surreal moment for the Mullingar native and the band's only Irish member to kiss Katy Perry on stage at LA's Staples Centre, as she was the judge who had the deciding vote when Niall auditioned for the X Factor in Dublin back in 2010.
Since the X Factor, One Direction have gone on to become one of the biggest boybands in the world – making chart history back in March, when they became the first British boyband to debut at No.1 on the American Billboard 200 Album Chart.
Check out the full list of winners below:

Here is a longer version with more pics: Water Source for Bees
I am a new urban beekeeper in a neighborhood and my neighbor has a pool . . . . .
Thus, it was pretty important to focus on a good water source for the bees (instead of their pool!). I bought a $5 cement mixing tub at Home Depot and placed some rocks and bricks in there . . .no visits . . over the next 3 weeks I tried a few different locations (close and farther away--no visits). I hear the pressure washer next door on the pool deck and know pool-time is getting closer (in Atlanta), thus it is time to do some research.
I found a few good ideas:
- Place a towel across the exposed block/bricks for a"landing pad"
- It seems the "dirtier" the water the better
- Place no closer than 20 feet away
- Bees need roughly about 5 gallons per year per hive
- THE KEY FOR ME: was the suggestion to spray lemon scented Pledge on the ground around the tub (I assume lemongrass oil would work too).
I tried a lot of different things, but by FAR the single best suggestion was lemon scented Pledge.

I am slowly eating my way through the sandwich menu at Tartine Bakery. First, I made a Tartine sandwich recipe at home, and now I've had the real deal, times three. These are no dainty French sandwiches but rather two-handed handfuls, cut into thirds, with each third the size of a normal half sandwich.

Yippee I'm home!!! The surgery was a success. Well I guess it would be seing how they do this everyday! It was a bit overwhelming, but I'm sure glad to be home. I was so happy that I decided to give Mommy and Daddy a homemade present...a puddle of pee. I am so pooped. I just want to thank all my friends for their well wishes and I'm just happy to be back!!
It was a sad day today. I have to leave my home for a few days to have surgery. My Mommy and Daddy said I need to be "fixed" so we don't have a whole zoo running around here. I'm a little scared, but Mommy said it will be ok and she'll be there to pick me up as soon as the doctor says I'm ready to go home. I will talk to you all when I'm back home. Hope all goes well with this and see ya in the middle of the week.
So here I am. I'm really liking my home but for some reason my adopted sister and brother are still not taking a liking to me. I try to play with them all the time but they always swat at me and hide. I don't know what to do. I will tell you this much, they have some yummy food. Mine is ok but my Mommy and Daddy are wondering if I like my food. I don't know if I should eat it or not. The walks have been super fun. We always go for at least 3 30 minute walks a day!!! I'm loving it. Hopefully things will change soon with the siblings.

Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
The Wu-Tang Clan
The First Salvo from a Crew That Changed the Hip-Hop Game
The poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge once defined prose as "words in their best order," and poetry as "the best words in their best order." Following that thought, hip-hop might be described as "the best words in their best order over the best beat."
The debut of the Wu-Tang Clan, a nine-member collective from Staten Island, ranks among the most creative examples of this, an exhibition of word-slinging that moves with snapping, karate-chopping efficiency—and, no accident, was largely inspired by the elaborate rituals and mythology of martial arts films.
First assembled by the DJ and MC known as RZA (Robert Diggs) at a time when the locus of hip-hop creativity had shifted to the West Coast, the Wu developed tracks with a brutally lean backbeat crunch. Incorporating samples from martial arts films as well as jazz and old R&B records, RZA created dark, lurking-in-the-shadows vibes, and then let his super-imaginative supporting cast build on the menace. Though this is a debut record made by largely unknown talents, each MC hits the microphone with a distinct sound and approach—Ol' Dirty Bastard raps in a nasal singsong, Raekwon delivers his thoughts in a rat-a-tatting stutter, Method Man deploys a stoner mumble, Ghostface Killah affects a tone of almost overwhelmed grimness. That's one remarkable thing about Enter: There are enough rappers involved to field a baseball team, and most tracks are done in a fresh, freewheeling round-robin style involving several of them, yet somehow the individual voices are highly differentiated. By the time this engrossing set of battle rhymes ends, you know these characters.
And after this album hit, the world got to know them much better. As Enter the Wu-Tang was embraced by the hip-hop nation, the collective became a dynasty of sorts, with various MCs embarking on solo careers. Some released albums that are hip-hop classics in their own right. Still, to fully appreciate the collective it's necessary to start here, at the beginning, when its members were concerned with choosing words carefully, putting them in the best order, and delivering them with thrilling rhythmic exactitude.
Genre: Hip-Hop
Released: 1993, Loud
Key Tracks: "Method Man," "Clan in da Front," "Protect Ya Neck," "C.R.E.A.M."
Catalog Choice: The W. Method Man: Tical. Ol' Dirty Bastard: Best of.

ah yes "enter the Wu Tang936 chambers)" is one of my all time favorite rap cd's. I was finishing Elementary school when it released and each member had their own style and they brought it all together perfectly. Each member shines through and one doesnt overpower the other. I dont think this cd will ever be matched by The Wu Tang clan or any individual album from the artist's (although they have some good ones..Bobby digital & Supreme Clientale FTW). Songs like "C.R.E.A.M." and "Protect ya neck" so grimey and real, well never lose its influence.
RIP Ol dirty bastard
#2 from Craig, The 508 - 02/13/2009 11:07
One of the best hip hop albums for sure. Beginning to end, possibly the best. Look at it like this, RZA's creative mind brought a new era of music with his dark, grimey, and yet simple melodies, which also consisted of 9 varying, and yet deadly verbal assassins rhyming. Mainstream media understands that this album helped launch members like Method Man and Ol' Dirty Bastard to the limelight, but most fail to recognize the talent that the lesser known clansmen bring to the mic. GZA's "Liquid Swords", and Raekwon's "Only Built 4 Cuban Linx", 2 of the genre's classic solo albums, both stemmed from "Enter the Wu-Tang"; not to mention the already noted 1st LP's from Johnny Blaze and Ason Unique themselves. With this said, don't take my word for it, if you look across the hip hop nation, it's quick to see the influence this album had on notable artists such as Nas, Mobb Deep, Busta Rhymes, Kanye West, Pharcyde, and Jedi Mind Tricks to name a few. Please do youself a favor, get a hold of this album, close your eyes and drift away to Shaolin.

Thanks for that great post. Your point about the influence of 36 Chambers is so right, especially concerning Kanye and Nas and one of my favorite underloved acts, Jedi Mind Tricks!
(Those guys are wicked smart…)
That made my day…

attaching a fiberglass rollpan?
I need to attach a fiberglass rear roll pan to a fiberglass 32' Ford Hiboy Roadster. I'm trying to decide if I should use the tried and true fiberglass method or if I could use some epoxy adhesive to bond the two pieces together? I like the simple idea of the adhesive but want to be absolutely sure there wont be any potential for the seam cracking down the road. I also don't want a bulge of fiberglass build up where the seam would be.
In either case I plan to first attach the panel with nuts & bolts then finishing up with some body filler.
Adhesive: Is this totally out of the question or is it a good solution? I know people use it for attaching metal panels but not sure if their seams would ever be visible as they would be in this case.
Fiberglass: To avoid creating a buildup / bulge of material, would I need to first grind down the edge of the body and the edge of the panel before applying the fiberglass? That sounds like a big mess coming my way. How many layers of fiberglass would be enough for the bond? Would one be too few?
What? No one? Well with no guidance from the pros (and no patience to wait) here's my plan. I think I'm going to rough up the mating surfaces with some 40-50 grit, then bolt the two pieces together using some sort of epoxy to help bond them. Next, I think I'll grind down the edges (~ 2" up on each piece) where the two pieces meet and then use some fiberglass mat & resin.
It's my first time dealing with fiberglass so I'm probably a little unsure of myself. I was looking for some experienced guidance. "hey don't forget to do this..." or "do this and you will get much better results..."
Please shoot me a reply if anyone thinks I'm heading down the wrong road. Otherwise, I'll post some pics when the carnage is done.
What if it ever has to come back apart?
I would stick with the bolts
Jim.. It would help us to see some pictures of what your working with...
If your going to glass it on.. Make sure you can still get the car off the frame if you need too...
I would grind down the edge of the roll pan to a knife edge.... I would grind the body where this will be fitting without going through it... You will be adding glass back, Don't worry....
Put the pan into place with a couple of screw's,,You will be taking these out later,,So don't glass over them,,, Only glass between them for now.. Ruff everything up with some 36 grit sand paper,,, Wipe everything with acetone, Don't cut you glass,, Tear it,, Or you will see a line later...
mix your glass and start glassing,,, You want to have at least 3 layers of glass..After you glass between the screw's,, Let it dry,, Then pull the screws out... Sand what you have done so far.. Wipe it again and finish glassing where the screws was..
Make sure to let it go over where you last glassed... You want everything where when it's all done you can go back in grind down without taking to much off to do your body work... Hope this helps you out..
You may not have gotten any answers because everyone is still sleeping from last night..
If your rolled pan has flanges, I would just bolt in place with some stainless fasteners. It will save you many hours of work - but if you are determined to 'glass in place, New Interiors has the right method

Hi Guys. Happy New Year!
Thanks for the feedback. Here are a few photos of what I'm working with.
I never considered leaving the seam line and just bolting it together. Would this be a little more of a traditional look or would it look kind of like a short cut? I've seen so many cars with the roll pan blended in that I assumed it was the only way to go. Hmmm?
I suppose with the hidden door hinges and other body lines filled in I should probably stick with the filled in seam plan. What do ya think? I know I should build it my way, and I will, but I do value others ideas and opinions. It's hard enough to stick to a theme and I dont want something like this to stick out like a sore thumb.
Thanks again,
I used pop rivits with back up washers on the inside top when I did the same thing on my 27 T roadster. Clamp it where you want it and drill all your holes. Rough up the mating surfaces like you said, then put down some resin on the pan attaching surface, lay a strip of fiberglass cloth the same width as the attaching surface on the resin, cover the top of the cloth with another coat of resin and put the pan in place. Work from the center out with the pop rivits, tightening, but not popping the inner ones to hold the pan is place. Then make sure ALL of the rivits are stuck in place to align the pan and start tightening the rivits with the rivit tool. Should take about three passes with the tool before you pop all the rivits. It's kind of like torquing a cylinder head in that you add more pressure in encriments to make the pan surface lay down flat. The fiberglass "sandwitch" and the aluminum pop rivits will make a killer bond and it will accurately place your pan to the body. Enough glass and resin squeezes out of the back to fill the parting line when its dry. Make sure to use aluminum rivits as they don't corrode and will pop with less force which is what the fiberglass likes. Four years on mine and zero cracks!
I did bolt the piece on the other night with nothing bonding the two pieces together. The fit was good and the body lines lined up great! My intention was to then tie the two pieces together on the external / outer body surface with fiberglass & resin. I now do not think that I will ever need to remove this piece and it will not stop me from removing the body from the chassis in any way.
Using the resin & fiberglass between the two pieces as the bonding material (along with the bolts) sounds like a great idea. I like the idea of letting it squish out to fill the seam. It's sort of what I originally had in mind but replacing the epoxy with the fiberglass & resin. Always nice to hear from people who have actually done this before and feedback about results.
What do you think about filing the edges to create a larger 'V' in the seam? Kind of like when you weld two large pieces of steel together. Unecessary or good insurance?
Do you think you would need to apply any fiberglass to the seam or just use body filler to smooth things out?
Thanks to everyone for your input.
I used some stuff called "kitty hair" which is filler mixed with fiberglass strands but only needed a little as the squish out filled most of what seam was there and, like you, I wanted it smooth. I didn't V or anything else, just stuck it together as detailed and it worked great.
Well I've officially done my first fiberglass project. I layered up some resin and fiberglass on the rollpan flange. I then slathered up the mating surface flange on the body. Then there was a moment of panic as I was attaching the rollpan to the car and trying to get the 7 bolts to line up with the holes in the body flange and then on into the trunk where things when from gooey to sticky. aah! Once I got the bolts tightend up I got some good material squish at the seams. Then I ran for the accetone to clean up the wrenches before the resin hardend on them. It all turned out fine and it's ready for some sanding, body filler, sanding...
Thanks to everyone for the great suggestions and feedback.

Hi I am Phil. My wife Silvy and I have owned and managed our 400 acre farm since 1992 when I moved to Italy from the UK. We started to rent out one apartment in 2002 and enjoyed having people around so much that we decided to restore a huge old 17th century barn and farm house which we turned into 6 holiday rental apartments.
Philip Frankland purchased this farmhouse in 1991
We were lucky enough to inherit Palazzo Rosso Farm from my wife Silvy's family.
Our guests love to come and stay at Palazzo Rosso because they can enjoy the benefits of being close to many beautiful places such as Venice, Verona, Padova, Mantova and Vicenza and at the same time when they want to relax they can sit back and enjoy the farm location and beautiful surroundings at Palazzo Rosso.
The apartment was very comfortable, perfect for a family with small children. The satellite TV, DVD player & stereo made life easier when it rained. The kitchen was very well equipped and there were lots of great places to go out for dinner, the Italians all take their children out with them which was a nice change and made our evenings much more enjoyable.
There were lots of places to go and visit close by, we stayed for nearly two weeks and still didn't get to see everything.
We had a great time staying over new year, we even joined in a local new years party which was great fun.
looking forward to coming back soon.
Henry, Caroline, Sarah & Freya Iddon. Blackpool, England.
Comfortable, nice showers, enough towels, good beds, very complete kitchen.
Nice surroundings, beautiful hills, well located to the A4 highway.
We like the fire outside.
You've been very helpful and kind.
We like the fresh eggs !!
Ambra Walstra & friends from Holland
The rental rate includes electricity, heating and air conditioning (when required), linen (including beach towels during the summer season) and final cleaning. There are no hidden costs. Payment by bank transfer or credit card.
Apartment on a beautiful refurbished farm, well equipped with all the comforts of home plus more. Refreshing pool and fantastic games room. Bikes were very handy with very safe bike tracks close by that went on for miles & miles. Silly & Phil are the perfect hosts with a wealth of information of the surrounding location, great restaurants plus more!!!! Our favourite restaurant was up the hill, sorry forget the name but Silvy will let you know!! We ate in a cave, very different and amazing food ( bonus was there was an English menu, just ask) pretty much all the restaurants that Silvy recommended were fab also the local Pizza in Longare! Local wines were also great my favourite was 'Livium'!!!! All in all a fantastic holiday and can't wait to return, almost forgot about the animals especially the 3 friendly dogs made me feel at home ☺
10 days stay in September 2016. Beautiful setting, very relaxing,very hospitable hosts for whom nothing was too much trouble. Lovely swimming pool and surround, with jacuzzi in pool.
What a stunning place. I cannot fault it. We stayed with our 5 month old and were made to feel so welcome. The building is stunning. The apartments well equipped and Silvie and Phil are perfect hosts - on hand but not overbearing - Very friendly and did everything to ensure our stay was comfortable and happy.
We stayed in apartment 2 and loved having direct access to the covered barn area where we could bbq each evening and enjoy a glass of vino whilst the moon rose over the farm fields. The walls of the farm building are so thick that our little one heard nothing inside or out and slept really well.
Ideally placed for day trips to stunning Verona, Venice and Vincenza.
I almost wanted to keep this gem a secret, but Silvie and Phil deserve to get a rave review for their stunning home. I am sure we will be back!
A comfortable ground floor flat with easy access, well-equipped kitchen and very large fridge - essential - plus free use of laundry facilities all made for a very pleasant stay. The best part though is the input by Phil and Sylvie - their guidebook is detailed and they back it up with a wealth of local knowledge which makes spending time in this lovely part of Italy a real joy.
I would warmly recommend Palazzo Rosso to anyone with a love of history, culture beautiful countryside and architecture, as well as great local food and wine.
We're back next month for our tenth stay.My wife and I have visited lots of Italy(north and south) but cannot find a more agreeable place than Palazzo Rosso.
Our hosts Phil and Silvi could not be more helpful, especially suggesting places to visit.There are lots of good places to eat for all budgets or convenient shops and supermarkets if you want to cook yourself.
Now that the motorway has opened close by it is so easy to get to Venice, Verona, Lake Garda, Padua and loads more.
Kids love the farm animals, adults love the culture and relaxation. You'll have a great time.
Jim & Helen (last year's arrival date shown)
We actually stayed in Apartment 6 on the top floor (for 6 people) but can't select this for the review.
We had a fantastic week at Palazzo Rosso in August 2014. The setting is simply superb. There are plains to the east, hills to the south, mountains to the north, and rocky gorges to the west. The buildings have been tastfully restored and there is plenty of space in the apartments, but also in the shared areas outdoors and by the pool. Our children loved feeding the varierty of animals kept on the farm but we were also able to spot some wildlife too such as otters in the river and hares in the fields. Within an hours drive is venice, verona, padua, vincenza, mantua and a multitude of ancient walled towns such as castlefranco, cittadela, soave, and montagagna. Lake Garda, the foothills of the Alps, and the coast are also within an hour and you can even reach some of the Dolomite mountain national parks if you are willing to go a little further.
Phil and Silvie made us feel very welcome indeed and were always on hand to give advice. Free eggs and apples each day were always welcome!
We would glady stay here again for another holiday in the future.
The Villa Palazzo Rosso is located near the village of Longare, in the hamlet of 'Ponte di Lumignano' at the foot of the Berici Hills (400 meters high).

It's outrageous which this company is not fully professionalism nothing at all.
These are the lists they are terribly...
- Not Professional
- Favoritism
- Chatrooms (No respect; tell us to type English which Mr. David & Mrs. Ida Rendon Casarez are writing in Spanish)
- I have spoken with the main manager for Roxie but he got after her but it turns out when she called me she started calling me a random name saying that my name was not showing correctly. It was right there on the screen but she was making fun of me as well. She started laughing as she thought it was funny. The name I carry is mostly my husband which everything that happened he was right next to me in hearing everything what was going on and he's really pissed off.
- Roxie Morfin laid me off supposedly they were letting go of all Seasonal employees but it was false. She kept getting after me everytime for every small thing when it wasn't me. Since Mr. and Mrs. Casarez has been working there longer she prefers them plus since she has them on Facebook that talks a lot as well. I got tired of it but I still show respect compared to her. When she laid me off sure sounded that she didn't care.
- The company doesn't allow me much to login on my site since one of the team leaders call me "dummy."
- Mr. Halker told me specific if I ever get laid-off or fired that he would help me find a job which it's false as well. He barely returns my calls and emails until barely today he tells me that he can't help me since my application is denied.
If you're trying or about to apply don't believe what they all say because they won't help you at all!

Where I stayed
The drive was a bit different than I am used to. As you are all aware I am keenly in tune with the speed limit. I always know what it is. Generally speaking the speed limit varies from 70 to 75. Let's say I was going at a speed that has at least one 8 in it and leave it at that. I was passed as if I were standing still on a regular basis. I understand why. There is no traffic and the highway is dead straight. At one point Sarah asked, "Are we going to make any turns?"
Thanks to Miranda we arrived in Sedona with no directional difficulties
As it turns out we arrived at the worst time of day. Apparently the biggest mess occurs between 4 and 5 every day. And as traffic jams go it really wasn't that bad. The construction just kind of caught us by surprise. It is definitely hurting the local businesses. The restraunts were empty at dinner time.
Note to Melissa and anyone else who's hair frizzes in the humidity: Pat and her hair love the Southwest. Whether it was the beach in Santa Monica, the San Diego Zoo, or here in Sedona her hair does not do a Rosann Rosanna Danna impression. She said this is the first vacation she has ever been on when she wasn't constantly reining her hair in.
We have attached some pictures from along the away and as we entered Sedona. I will do a better job explaining what you are seeing tomorrow once we have learned it better ourselves. Pat says she would have photographed the cool "Quick Draw McDraw" type cactus plants seen from the highway, but the shutter speed of our camera does not allow for speeds with an 8 in them.
Mike, Pat, and Sarah

Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation
LTTng (Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation) is a tracer for Linux being actively developed. It is a kernel patch accompanied by a toolchain (ltt-control) to control the tracing, as well as a trace viewing and analysis program (LTTV). LTTng includes a set of kernel instrumentation points useful for debugging a wide range of bugs, that are otherwise extremely challenging. These include, for example, performance problems on parallel systems and on real-time systems. Custom instrumentation is easy to add. LTTng is designed for minimal performance impact and has a near zero impact when not tracing. LTTng has at least basic support for all Linux architectures (see the LTTng manual for more details). LTTng / LTTV are developed by an open community. LTTng is released under a dual Gnu LGPLv2.1/GPLv2 license (except for very few kernel-specific files which are derived work from the Linux kernel). LTTV is available under the Gnu GPLv2. The low-level LTTV trace reading library is released under Gnu LGPLv2.1.

By Roselle K. Yu, 17 October 2013
The magnitude -7.2 quake that struck Visayas the other day was shocking to say the least, as it decimated centuries-old churches and other structures. It has been compared to the force of 32 nuclear bombs dropped over Hiroshima, Japan during the Second World War.
Not everyone knows what to do during an earthquake. Do you run outside? Do you stand under a doorway or crawl under a table? Knowing what to do could spell a world of difference in terms of your safety. In other words, knowing the procedures is crucial as not following them could cost you dearly.Similarly, there are proper steps to be taken when a taxpayer wants to dispute or nullify an adverse ruling issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). Given that the BIR continues to issue rulings, circulars and regulations that have adverse implications, taxpayers must be aware of how to properly avail of possible remedies. One misstep can lead to your case being dismissed based on procedural grounds and not even on the merits of the ruling or regulation you are contesting.In fact, just recently, the Court of Tax Appeals (CTA) had no choice but to dismiss a couple of petitions filed by taxpayers requesting the invalidation of unfavorable rulings issued to them by the BIR. This was because one taxpayer failed to exhaust available administrative remedies and because, in both cases, the CTA has no jurisdiction over such matters.So, how should we go about protesting unfavorable tax rulings?
First, one must observe the requirement to exhaust all available administrative remedies (although there are exceptions to this rule). Under the Tax Code, the BIR Commissioner has the exclusive and original jurisdiction to interpret tax laws, subject to the review of the Secretary of Finance. Since all rulings are now signed by the BIR Commissioner, a taxpayer who receives an adverse ruling can seek its review by the Secretary of Finance within 30 days of receiving the ruling.
The Department of Finance prescribes strict guidelines that must be followed in appealing an adverse tax ruling. These include information that must be reflected in the request for review, and even guidance on formatting requirements. Only upon receiving the ruling of the Secretary of Finance can the taxpayer be considered as having exhausted all available administrative remedies. Generally, only then can the taxpayer raise the issue before the courts.
This doctrine of exhausting all available administrative remedies before seeking judicial intervention is based on jurisprudence and on practical grounds. It costs less, and ideally, provides for faster disposition of issues. It is based on the underlying presumption that, if given the chance, the concerned administrative agency will decide on the matter correctly and will rectify its own error, if necessary.
What about disputing regulations and circulars that are issued to the general public?
Since the Supreme Court has held that revenue regulations and revenue memorandum circulars are actually rulings or opinions of the BIR Commissioner, any attempts to challenge such issuances may also follow the same steps as when one is disputing an adverse ruling. While circulars are already issued by the Commissioner, it would appear from the arguments raised by the BIR in a recent tax court decision that in seeking to nullify a tax issuance, the BIR expects taxpayers to first file a request for reconsideration with the Commissioner, before appealing to the Secretary of Finance.
Once the case is ripe for judicial remedy, to which court should taxpayers raise their appeal?
Based on jurisprudence, the CTA's jurisdiction to resolve tax disputes does not include cases which cover the validity or constitutionality of a law, or a rule or regulation issued by an administrative agency in the performance of its quasi-legislative function. The determination of whether an administrative issuance has gone beyond the law falls within the jurisdiction of the regular courts. So, in challenging the validity of tax rulings, regulations or circulars issued by the BIR, taxpayers should seek judicial remedy from the regular courts, and not from the CTA.
Einstein is quoted as saying: "Imagination is more important than knowledge." While there are areas of taxation that may benefit from innovation, imagination and creativity, remedial procedures are not one of them. Filing appeals within the deadline and at the right venue is essential to a successful dispute. After all, you don't want to be all dressed to the nines and then realize too late that you've gone to the wrong party.

Earthquakes are not unusual in the San Francisco Bay Area, but a team of Penn State geoscientists believes that the hazard may be greater than previously thought because of a hidden fault under Marin County.
"We think we have evidence that there is an additional earthquake hazard in the San Francisco area due to a blind thrust fault," says Dr. Kevin P. Furlong, professor of geosciences. "Blind thrust faults are notorious because they are hard to find until an earthquake occurs on them. A blind thrust fault caused the 1994 Northridge earthquake."
The San Francisco Bay Area has a variety of known faults running through it. The San Andreas fault runs on the west, while the Hayward fault is on the east and shifts into the Rodgers Creek fault northeast of the city. The San Gregorio fault, west of the San Andreas, meets that fault near the Golden Gate Bridge.
The slip rate on the Hayward fault is about 9 millimeters a year and the slip on the Rodgers Creek fault is probably 6 to 9 millimeters a year, according to Furlong. These two rates are consistent. However, the slip on the San Andreas fault south of the Golden Gate Bridge is 17 millimeters per year and the slip rate north of the bridge is 24 millimeters per year. Adding in the San Gregorio fault slip of about 3 millimeters a year, the slip rate on the northern San Andreas is still inconsistent with the southern portion of the fault by as much as 4 millimeters per year.
Compounding the geological confusion is the existence of Mt. Tamalpais at 2,640 feet sitting northeast of San Francisco in Marin County. Geologists are unsure why Mt. Tamalpais is there and what formed it.
Furlong and Dr. Eric Kirby, assistant professor of geosciences, looked for an explanation for the different slip rates on the San Andreas fault north and south of the Golden Gate that would also explain how Mt Tamalpais came to rise above the bay.
"In the past, the thought was that there must be something wrong with the calculations on the San Gregorio fault," says Furlong. "That is, the slip rate must be closer to 7 millimeters per year because we do not see any other faults."
The researchers hypothesized that a fault running diagonally from the northern Hayward fault to the San Andreas in Marin County could transfer the necessary motion to the San Andreas and might explain high topography around Mt Tamalpais. However, proving the fault's existence turns out to be a difficult task.
Thrust faults occur when one piece of terrain rides up over another forming a characteristic uplift pattern with one side gradually sloping up and the other more precipitous. Blind thrust faults terminate below the Earth's surface and are therefore blind.
"We asked, can we demonstrate that Mt Tamalpais is currently going up, thrusting?" said Furlong. "Uplift rates are just at the limit of what can be measured with geographic positioning systems and there are not sufficient prior measurements on the mountain to compare with anyway," he told attendees at the fall conference of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.
Estimating that the uplift is about 1 millimeter per year – less than normally observable with GPS, the researchers looked for another way to measure uplift. They considered the topography of Marin County. Bolinas Ridge – just east of Point Reyes – runs up the west side of the area just to the west of Mt. Tamalpais and has a gradually rising slope, similar to the uplift predicted by a blind fault. It also has numerous streams running off the ridge peak into the San Andreas fault.
"If an area is uplifting, then we typically see steep rivers, but if the uplift is slow or nonexistent, then we see gentle rivers," says Furlong. "What we find is that the rivers become substantially steeper in the southern portion of Bolinas Ridge, implying that there may be active uplift in the area."
The rock making up Bolinas Ridge is of uniform composition, so differences in river slopes probably reflect differences in erosion rate. Assuming there is a blind thrust fault, the slip rate on the fault would need to be 3 to 4 millimeters to even out the discrepancies north and south of the Golden Gate Bridge. If the slip is 3 to 4 millimeters, then the researchers calculate that there would be potential for an earthquake of magnitude 6 to 6.5 on the fault occurring on a time scale of several hundred years.
Courtney B. Johnson, graduate student in Penn State's department of geosciences, is presenting a poster that further explores the size and earthquake potential of the blind thrust fault.
"No large earthquakes have occurred in that area for at least the 150 to 200 years we have records," says Furlong. "In fact, there are very few earthquakes of any size in this general area."
The researchers are planning research to prove that the blind thrust fault exists. Unfortunately, standard seismic imaging will not work on the type of rock in the area, so alternative methods are necessary.
"The Loma Prieta earthquake did a lot of damage to the East Bay and Marina areas of San Francisco," says Furlong. "An earthquake in Marin County, while smaller, is much closer and is of concern not only to those in the county, but also to that part of San Francisco."

L'Assommoir HTML version
It so happened that the Boches had left the Rue des Poissonniers at the April quarter,
and were now taking charge of the great house in the Rue de la Goutte-d'Or. It was a
curious coincidence, all the same! One thing that worried Gervaise who had lived so
quietly in her lodgings in the Rue Neuve, was the thought of again being under the
subjection of some unpleasant person, with whom she would be continually quarrelling,
either on account of water spilt in the passage or of a door shut too noisily at night-time.
Concierges are such a disagreeable class! But it would be a pleasure to be with the
Boches. They knew one another—they would always get on well together. It would be
just like members of the same family.
On the day the Coupeaus went to sign their lease, Gervaise felt her heart swollen with
pride as she passed through the high doorway. She was then at length going to live in
that house as vast as a little town, with its interminable staircases, and passages as
long and winding as streets. She was excited by everything: the gray walls with
varicolored rugs hanging from windows to dry in the sun, the dingy courtyard with as
many holes in its pavement as a public square, the hum of activity coming through the
walls. She felt joy that she was at last about to realize her ambition. She also felt fear
that she would fail and be crushed in the endless struggle against the poverty and
starvation she could feel breathing down her neck. It seemed to her that she was doing
something very bold, throwing herself into the midst of some machinery in motion, as
she listened to the blacksmith's hammers and the cabinetmakers' planes, hammering
and hissing in the depths of the work-shops on the ground floor. On that day the water
flowing from the dyer's under the entrance porch was a very pale apple green. She
smilingly stepped over it; to her the color was a pleasant omen.
The meeting with the landlord was to take place in the Boches' room. Monsieur
Marescot, a wealthy cutler of the Rue de la Paix, had at one time turned a grindstone
through the streets. He was now stated to be worth several millions. He was a man of
fifty-five, large and big-boned. Even though he now wore a decoration in his button-hole,
his huge hands were still those of a former workingman. It was his joy to carry off the
scissors and knives of his tenants, to sharpen them himself, for the fun of it. He often
stayed for hours with his concierges, closed up in the darkness of their lodges, going
over the accounts. That's where he did all his business. He was now seated by Madame
Boche's kitchen table, listening to her story of how the dressmaker on the third floor,
staircase A, had used a filthy word in refusing to pay her rent. He had had to work
precious hard once upon a time. But work was the high road to everything. And, after
counting the two hundred and fifty francs for the first two quarters in advance, and
dropping them into his capacious pocket, he related the story of his life, and showed his
Gervaise, however, felt rather ill at ease on account of the Boches' behavior. They
pretended not to know her. They were most assiduous in their attentions to the landlord,
bowing down before him, watching for his least words, and nodding their approval of

Don't believe me? I've checked out hundreds of LinkedIn job postings lately. In my search, I cast a wide net, looking at both Product Management and UX jobs, at small (1–10 employees), medium (10–100 employees) and large (100+ employees) technology companies, startups, and agencies. Check out the job postings on LinkedIn yourself, and you'll start to see a pattern like that shown in Table 1.
|UX Jobs
|Product Management Jobs

Job descriptions include phrases like:
Job descriptions include phrases like:
In a nutshell, the pattern is something like this:
- Product Management defines; User Experience refines.
- Product Management leads; User Experience interprets.
- Product Management is business; User Experience is art.
- Product Management is strategy; User Experience is execution.
Sure, I can find a handful of postings for jobs in which User Experience may have strategic involvement, but these exceptions only prove the rule. For the majority of UX jobs, the scope, responsibility, and accountability are circumscribed. Even for UX Lead and Experience Director roles, final ownership of decisions concerning customers rarely sit with User Experience.
Why? Well, for the most part, this is just how things have always been. Software companies have seen User Experience as a contributor to either a Product Management team or an Engineering team; or in digital agencies, as a member of an account team. Someone else—such as a Product Manager or an Account Manager—leads UX work and has final ownership and accountability for meeting business goals and making sure the work is successful.
This is not an issue of corporations' putting roles into silos. It's a systemic problem of companies' underestimating the importance of developing a deep understanding of their customers on an ongoing basis. More fundamentally, companies underestimate the great, untapped potential of UX professionals to leverage their deep understanding of customers at a strategic level within an organization. It's time that we expand the role of User Experience beyond execution, beyond output, and yes, even beyond design.
More Than Design
We would never say that an Engineering Director's role is to deliver code. That job is about planning for flexibility, stability, and extensibility. It's about eliminating any problems that the company may face with the technology that they're building. Likewise, a CFO's value is in having a long-term understanding of the business landscape and the ability to think proactively about building the most stable runway for the business. Critical jobs look at long-term problems and priorities. They are strategic.
While businesses must focus on many things, no business has ever succeeded without connecting, in a deep and meaningful way, with its customers. The most important thing I've learned in my career is that User Experience is not simply about designing for customers, but thinking strategically about customer behaviors, passions, and desires. User Experience provides an intellectual entry point, a framework that can give corporate leaders another perspective for making decisions and solving problems for customers. The UX skillset encompasses more than just design skills. It provides the foundation of a company's customer strategy. And yet, most UX job descriptions continue to focus on execution, translation, and implementation.
UX professionals have far greater potential than our usual roles allow us to fulfill. Our jobs can involve much more than just designing, simplifying, and researching. User Experience is much more than a subset of Product Management. UX Strategists have the skills and the experience to contribute much more to the organizations for whom we work, and we are capable of owning our work to a much fuller degree.

Maytag gas dryer problem
I have a Maytag model #mdg8600aww gas dryer. Recently the loads have been taking a long time to dry. So I took off the front panel and noticed that the burner does start up but only runs for about 30 seconds and will shut off for 2 minutes, and then start up again, and run for about 10 seconds. It continually repeats the 10 second on cycle every minute and a half. I have cleaned the dryer inside and out there are no restrictions anywhere. I went as far as taking off the exhaust tube, but that didn't help. I recently changed the moisture monitor sensor, that didn't work. Could it be the high low temperature sensor? If not, does anybody know the answer to this?
The cover is essential to air flow (learned the hard way myself) and must be in place for the dryer to remain lit.
Put the cover back on. Did not help

RAMALLAH, Oct. 3 (Xinhua) -- The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) is passing through an unprecedented critical financial situation, a senior Palestinian official said on Wednesday.
Ahmed Majdalani, the minister of work in the PNA cabinet in the West Bank, told Xinhua that the PNA is barely able to find enough money to pay September wages to its employees.
The official said he expects the crisis to worsen in the coming three months, adding that the PNA is very much disappointed over the results of a donors meeting held last month.
"The donors' meeting had ended without even any pledges or promises to transfer financial aid to the authority either from European or Arab countries," said Majdalani.
The United States had earlier pledged to transfer 200 million dollars to the PNA, while other Gulf states had promised to help the PNA resolve its financial troubles, but "nothing has been done, " the official said.
An official report of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said earlier that the deficit in PNA budget has exceeded 400 million dollars. The World Bank also warned two weeks ago of the growing financial crisis facing the PNA, urging donor countries to take urgent actions to help the Palestinians.
Majdalani attributed the difficult financial situation to the political and financial blockade imposed by the U.S. in response to the Palestinian bid for United Nations membership.
"There's an obvious American influence on its friends, which so far haven't fulfilled their financial pledges to the PNA to cover the deficit in the Palestinian budget.
The United States and Israel oppose the Palestinian's UN bid and called on Abbas for an unconditional resumption of peace talks with Israel, which had been stalled for two years due to disputes on Israeli settlement building.
