The September accounts of the Swiss National Bank were out overnight, and made for some pretty interesting reading.
Most notably, the SNB has managed to offload a bucket-load of euros without the wider market really cottoning on.
In the breakdown of its foreign exchange reserves, which now total 429 billion francs (up from CHF365 billion in the June quarter), euros accounted for 48.4 per cent (CHF210.5 billion) of the portfolio, down from a 59.7 per cent slice at the end of the June quarter.
So, basically, the SNB has stopped accumulating euros and has been selling them quite aggressively. This task would have been made easier by the euro's rally from about $US1.20 in mid-July to $US1.31 by mid-September.
By reducing exposure to euro, it has boosted holdings in all other currency categories. Most notably, the SNB has increased the proportion of its holdings in US dollars, up to 28 per cent in the September quarter from 21.9 per cent, and holdings in British pounds to 6.7 per cent from 3.2 per cent.
■ But the one that matters to us is the "other" category. This includes Australian dollars, Swedish krona, Danish krone, Singapore dollar and Korean won, and the portfolio proportions increased to 4.1 per cent from 3.5 per cent in the June quarter.
We have written previously that if the euro rallied, the Swiss National Bank would not be under as much pressure to defend its CHF1.20 peg with the euro. Capital inflows into Switzerland had seen the currency strengthen against the euro, and on September 6, 2011 the central bank announced it would buy euros in unlimited quantities in an effort to artificially weaken the strong franc, which was contributing to deflation and hurting the country's exporters.
As a result of this, the SNB would not need to recycle flows into other currencies, including the Australian dollar, which it had been known to have been doing for most of the year.
In recent months, some analysts had suggested the SNB's pace of euro-buying had slowed, and the bank's latest accounts would confirm that thinking.
Where the Swiss decided to park their reserves matters for the Aussie dollar. If they are keen to stash it in US dollars and sterling, that could mean less being funnelled into the "other" category, and therefore the Australian dollar. That may mean less support for the domestic currency.
Is it too early to wonder whether this could mean the currency wars are coming to an end? Mmm, probably not. If it's not one, it's the other, and we've seen over the past week that hot spot at the moment is Asia, in particular Japan and Hong Kong.
The Bank of Japan increased its asset-purchase program this week with one eye on weakening the strong yen, while the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has intervened in the currency market five times in the past two weeks as the Hong Kong dollar brushes up against the upper limit of its trading peg with the US dollar.
However, in both cases, this may not have the distortionary impact of the Swiss National Bank, which is now the fifth-largest FX manager in the world behind China, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Russia.

THE ONE TO BUY. Very rare! 2006 S4 4.2 Quattro in AUDI EXCLUSIVE LAVA GRAY metallic exterior color over Platinum gray leather. Meticulously dealer maintained!! Turns heads everywhere it goes.
Stunning, CREAM PUFF Tiptronic 4.2 Audi S4 for sale. All original paint, no stories with this car. Clean Carfax. 59,900 miles. I am only selling this beloved car to make some room in the garage. This Audi has spent it's entire life in Las Vegas. Car was commissioned w/ Audi Exclusive Lava Gray paint ($6k option) over platinum Recaro seats, trimmed in Carbon Fiber throughout. Originally ordered at Desert Audi of Las Vegas, and then traded in at Audi Henderson where I then purchased it. Service records show all maintenance has been performed (and is up to date) at a certified Audi Dealership. Oil changes have been religiously done every 4,000 miles. This car does not have a single rattle anywhere. I have both keys plus valet key, complete bookset, everything in hand.
I am extremely detailed when I maintain a car, and this S4 has been no exception. Paint shines like the day it rolled off the factory floor. Hand washed weekly with only the best products (scratch free). Polished/Waxed/Claybared religiously. Headlights/Foglights are crystal clear. Leather Recaro seats have been conditioned every other week, and look near brand new and show almost no wear on the bolsters, unlike most other S4s on the market. NEVER Smoked or eaten in. Smells new inside.
Car boasts factory Adaptive Xenon headlights, Sunroof, Factory BOSE Stereo, Factory RNS-E Navigation w/ Bluetooth & Sirius interface (including voice activation). Has Premium & Cold Weather packages, including front & rear heated seats.
For the Auto Trader Link with MANY more photos click HERE. I will be at Wustefest in Las Vegas where the car is located if you would like to view/purchase the car there.
Less than 500 miles ago my local Audi dealership install the following:
-Brand new leather multi-function S4 steering wheel to keep that 'cream puff' feel.
-Brand new H&R lowering springs
-Rare 19x7 OZ Racing Superturismo GTs fitted, finished in Porsche bright silver w/ red lettering
-Brand new Hancook V12s, size 235/35/19.
With the wheel/tire/suspension combo, this car GRIPS, yet is still very smooth on the roads (does not rub anywhere). This car has factory exhaust which has been de-resonated to let the potent V8 breath easier (will pass emissions and smog tests no problem). This car is not 'loud' and will not wake the neighbors, but does have a nice deep growl when noted. Lastly, a 10" Subwoofer was installed by the previous owner in the trunk area, as well as upgraded tweeters up front (sounds fantastic, nice and deep base notes without being overwhelming).
The only blemish on this cream puff S4 are the rock chips in the hood (not super noticeable). If you are looking for the RAREST & BEST MAINTAINED S4 on the market look no further!! Asking $26,000 Or Best Offer. Have a number in mind? Let me know! Just please, NO LOW BALLERS! I am in no hurry to sell, and prefer not to be insulted with ridiculously low offers.
I can be reached via cell or text at (702) 336-0468, or via e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com, thank you.

NEW YORK - Along with the trademark Clydesdales, talking animals and high-end computer graphics, there was a new entry this year in the annual showdown of advertisers in the Super Bowl: amateurs.
Starting in the first quarter, a goofy spot for Doritos showing a hapless driver distracted by a pretty woman passing by marked the first time a purely amateur-created ad aired during the Super Bowl. Frito-Lay, the PepsiCo Inc. division that makes Doritos, ran an online competition to pick the winning spot.
Katie Crabb, a freshman at the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point, was the winner of a separate contest by General Motors Corp. and had her idea for an ad made into reality by Chevrolet's marketing division.
Despite being made by a newcomer, that ad was true to the tradition of using oddball humor in Super Bowl ads, showing a number of men stripping off their shirts - and some other articles of clothing - at the sight of a new Chevy HHR rolling down the street.
Sight gags were back, including one from Bud Light early in the game showing a rather unusual tactic for winning at rock-paper-scissors - throwing an actual rock at the head of your opponent. The gag wasn't completely new, however, since last year Sprint Nextel Corp. featured a phone with a "crime deterrent" - which turned out to be throwing the phone at someone's head.
FedEx Corp. combined a sight gag with another trademark of big ticket Super Bowl spots, fancy computer graphics, with an other-worldy ad showing an office worker drifting off into space from the world's first office on the moon, only to be clobbered by a passing meteor.
A lot is riding on the ads, and not just because CBS Corp. is charging as much as $2.6 million for a 30-second spot during the game. With some 90 million people watching, it's the most-viewed program all year on television and the ads are subject to intense scrutiny, both by amateurs and the marketing industry.
Coca-Cola Co. was back in the game after a long absence, taking on its rival Pepsi with a number of creative ads, including an homage to Black History Month with an understated ad showing the changing shapes of Coke bottles over time as milestones in black history appeared alongside. That ad referred indirectly to the fact that, for the first time, both coaches in the game are black, and at least one other spot also highlighted Black History Month.
Some of the uses of humor didn't resonate well with experts. Stephen Greyser, a professor at Harvard Business School specializing in communications and the business of sports, said the rock-throwing spot by Anheuser-Busch Cos.' Bud Light was "attention-getting" but also "had a nasty character to it."
Bud Light, which often swings for the fences with wacky jabs at humor, scored better with Greyser with a different spot showing an auctioneer saying wedding vows at hyper-fast speed. Greyser said that spot had a much broader appeal.
The job-search company CareerBuilder ditched its longtime office-monkey pitchmen of years past in favor of a jungle combat scene among office workers, where office supplies become weapons. Think of "Dilbert" meets "Lord of the Flies."
Tim Calkins, a marketing professor at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University who runs a panel of students to rate the ads, called this year's batch a "mixed bag," saying advertisers were "being safe," with no one "pushing the edge of either creativity or taste."
An ad early in the game for Blockbuster Inc. with computer animations of animals trying to push, click and - ouch - drag an actual mouse resonated well with members of his panel, who said it was creative and also delivered the company's message. The panel found a spot by King Pharmaceuticals Inc. showing a guy dressed up in a giant red heart costume "puzzling," while Garmin International Inc.'s oddball spot with a showdown between a superhero-like character and a monster made from maps was deemed "hard to follow."
Later in the game, Bud Light won laughs with a spot showing a guy clearly losing points with his girlfriend by wanting to pick up a hitchhiker on a dark road, despite the fact that he's carrying an axe. Everything turns out fine after the hitchhiker reassures the man that it's actually just a bottle opener.
Revlon was one of a rare few to appeal to the female audience, unveiling a spot with scenes of the singer Sheryl Crow on tour and doing a rendition of Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away." The NFL itself, meanwhile, got into the "user-generated" theme with a spot near the end of the game whose idea was contributed by a fan, Gino Bona, of Portsmouth N.H., taking a light look at the anguish fans go through at the end of the NFL season.

need opinions- bridal shower
I'm throwing my sister a bridal shower at my home in November. It's not a surprise shower, she knows about it, but everything else (theme, etc) will be kept a secret from her as per family tradition. (I'm actually planning to send her a very tacky invitation-- for a country hoe-down or princess party or something equally mortifying to her-- as a gag shortly before the shower and act like that's the real invitation-- she'll kill me. )
Style-wise, we have very different taste. I'm a very country, primitive, relaxed kind of girl.... she's very classy, more modern & elegant in her style. I think I'm going with a general Fall theme for decorations-- no paper bells or anything like that.
Here's my dilemma.....
I LOVE these invitation, and it would be easy to carry on the theme-- candles as favors, etc. http://cgi.ebay.com/Fall-Candle-Wedd...QQcmdZViewItem
However, I keep thinking that I should pick something that's more HER taste, since after all, the party is for her...
What would you do? Opinions welcome! (Fall-themed shower ideas in general welcome, too!)

I like the invite a lot, I would keep the theme, but keep it simple, the candle idea is nice, go with a modern line, don't get too fussy with the decorations, etc. Enjoy it.09-19-2006, 02:11 PM #3

I think that you should go with your gut instinct. It is her wedding, and the shower is for her, so it is important that she be happy. If the roles were reversed, would you have preferred it for her to throw an elegant and upscale shower for you, or a relaxed country type shower? (this is just my opinion, please don't take offense)
If the only thing you are worried about are the invitations, here is a "DIY" idea that I helped a friend make for her wedding invitations last fall:
Take different coloured leaves off of the trees (orange, red, yellow), and press them in a heavy book overnight. Print the invitation information on a nice sheet of white paper, but size it so that you can fit 4 invitations per page, and so that each invite is square. Paste this square on a larger square of colored paper (we used an orange-yellow color), and put the leaves in 2 opposite corners and paste so that it looks like the leaves are what is holding the white invite down. Here is a photo similar to what we did: http://wedding.invitations4less.com/...?ID=464&Type=I
For her centerpieces, she had large bunches of leaves that were tied with a gold ribbon and placed in a vase, and her wedding favors were small containers of fresh maple syrup (we live up north). Everything looked very elegant when it was set up.Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements09-19-2006, 02:45 PM #4

I would consider my tastes to be more elegant and classy like your sister, and I like those invitations you picked out a lot. It's just fall leaves, not bales of hay and scarecrows.09-19-2006, 04:05 PM #5

I think you could do a lot with fall decorations. I think a pretty centerpiece for the table would be a glass hurricane type candle holder with fall colored candle with fall colored leaves around the base of it with maybe some miniature pumkins. Another would be to set out several voltive candles in different falls colors with silk leaves, miniature pumkins and nuts sprinkled around them. One thing I do for fall is take my large hurricane candle holder put in a pretty fall colored candle the put candy corn in about a fourth of the way up. I love fall decorations. Sounds like a fun shower.

Thanks, everyone! I am leaning towards using those invitations then keeping general fall decorations. I can make the candle favors more elegant/ less country and I think it will work.

|Your best bet would b 2 boil it 4 a while. I boiled a piece of that wood once 4 over 3 hrs & I would change the water every time it turned to a "tea" color. Like I said I boiled it 4 over 3 hrs & once it was done & cooled 2 room temp I placed it n my aquarium & never had any problem w/ it. Hope this helps
I had the same problem. I took it out, boiled it then soaked it for a week in a bucket and haven't had an issue since
Posted from Plantedtank.net App for Android
|I changed the water about once a day when I remembered, once every 2 or 3 when I didn't. The water turned dark brown, near black when it boiled so I'm thinking I leeched a fair bit out then. I'll follow your advice and monitor things closely.
It's probably going to leach tannins for some time yet, possibly the lifetime of the wood (or tank set up).
However, it will probably be pretty heavy at first, and then taper off a bit.
You mentioned that the wood has been soaking in a bucket for about a month, have you been changing the water in the bucket? When I'm soaking driftwood and such, I tend to change out the water when there is a noticeable color change (I don't bother doing it more than 2x a day).
I've never bothered to boil anything myself, but I've heard people claim that it accelerates the leaching process.
I don't think the tannins are necessarily harmful, and that they are often beneficial for many critters. If it caused a rapid pH (or possibly lowered the hardness of the water) swing like you suspect, I imagine that could be harmful.
I'd say go ahead and put it in the tank, maybe put some carbon in the filter, and just keep an eye on your tank - maybe do some water parameter tests and keep a log to see how it's affecting pH, hardness, etc. Do frequent small water changes if you have to.
Mopani Driftwood Safety
I received a piece of Mopani Driftwood a few weeks back. It was new and apparently purchased from Petsmart or the like. Stupidly I stuck it into the tank without doing any soaking. Well, it leeched tannins like mad and within a week the water was brown and some guppies had passed. I suspect the tannins from the wood had lowered the PH too rapidly (or too low).
Fast forward to today, I boiled the wood for approximately two hours and it has been soaking in a bucket for about a month, maybe more. Have enough tannins leeched out of it so that it is safe to put into the tank?

Campbell County High School's basketball teams lost a couple of heartbreakers last week to District 3-AAA rivals Anderson County and Knox Halls.

Cayla Oglesby and Maggie Smith carried Anderson County with 12 and 11 points, respectively.
The game was tied 51-51 at the end of regulation.
When most parents punish their children they send them to time out. But Samuel Bolton's father sent him to jail.
Caryville police located Bolton in an upstairs room at his father's house. Bolton allegedly had a large pocketknife in his hand- blade extended.
Officer Ben Marlow and Sheriff's Deputy Cody Chapman told Bolton to drop the knife. When Bolton complied he was arrest. Bolton told officers he ran because he knew he had warrants, said Marlow.
The Powder Mill Bass Tournament Series kicked off the 2011 season on Feb. 5.

Opening week winners were: 1st place – David Hatfield and Robbie Powell (10.9 lbs.), 2nd place – Brian St. John and Tom Brown (9.9 lbs.), 3rd place – Brian Miller and John Carroll (7.8lbs.), big fish – Travis Richardson (4.0lbs.).
Going down by the river has a whole new meaning for culprits cooking methamphetamine.
Caryville Police responded to Yoakum Circle Friday when street department workers reported suspicious items near the water.
Lt. Stephanie Smith arrived at 2 p.m. to find a bottle containing a crystallized substance and syringes on the ground behind a hollowed out log, she said. Smith walked to the Caryville dam finding more methamphetamine making components leading to the lake embankment.
The following criminal cases were resolved last week with the use of plea agreements:
George Alois Hnlica III- theft of property over $500; judicial diversion for two years, two years probation, court costs, $75 to ECF, $500 restitution to victim.
Jonathan Terry- ten counts fraudulent use of a debit card under $500, fraudulent use of a credit/debit card over $500; eight years judicial diversion, eight years probation, court costs, $825 to ECF, $5,618.38 restitution to victim.

Jul 21, 2013 - By Eric Blom Staff WriterA Gas Hills uranium mine has reached the next step in its permitting process with the opening of a public comment period.
Interested parties will have until Sept. 9 to give input on Strathmore Minerals' proposal for an open pit mine, and public meetings are coming up as well.
45 miles east
The company with offices in Riverton proposes building a mine 45 miles east of Riverton and cover about 12,400 acres, according to the Bureau of Land Management.
The federal government manages the surface for 11,040 of those acres.
Other mines
Cameco Resources also is planning to mine uranium in the same area. The permitting process for Cameco's development is further along in the draft environmental impact study stage. That mine would use the in-situ recovery method.
The Bureau of Land Manage-ment is preparing an environmental impact statement on the Strathmore project.
Meetings set
The agency holds public meetings Tuesday, Aug. 6, at the Fremont County Library in Lander from 4-6 p.m. and at the Fremont County Library Riverton Branch on Thursday, Aug. 8, also from 4-6 p.m., to gather public comments.
Such projects on BLM land typically undergo a scoping period, a draft environmental impact statement, a final environmental imp-act statement, and a record of decision through the federal agency.
The whole process can take several years and involves several public comment periods along the way.
Some uranium developments also require permits from the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commis-sion.
Titan Uranium USA is planning a third uranium mine in Fremont County in the Crooks Gap Mining District eight miles south of Jeffrey City. The BLM is working on an environmental impact statement for that mine, called Sheep Mountain.
Strathmore's mining plan in-volves using a heap leach process to produce yellow cake from mined uranium ore.
The method runs water through piles of uranium-bearing material, and then pumping the water into a facility to extract the mineral.
Heap leach leaves piles of tailings on the surface, which typically are sealed with a cover during reclamation.
After the mine's life, the BLM likely will restrict public access to the heap leach areas.
Uranium mining once was Fremont County's largest employer, with more than 2,000 full-time workers. The new mines would represent the county's first full-time uranium mining employment since the industry collapsed in the mid-1980s.
Interested parties can send comments to the BLM about Strathmore's project via email at email@example.com or in writing to Bureau of Land Management, Lander Field Office, Attn: Kristin Yannone, Project Manager, 1335 Main Street, Lander, WY 82520.

Here is a very interesting documentary from 1993 examining Death Metal & the effects it was having on society. What I do like about this film is that people from the scene are a big part of the discourse that is taking place. It's funny to see what the doctors had to say about how death metal might damage a kid's way of looking at the world. At certain points in the documentary, it reminds me how punk rock was demonized in the early 80's – I will never forget how they had boot camps that thought they could punish the punk out of teenager, trust me it did not work. It's nice to see & hear how smart many of the artist featured in this film were. They actually were breaking shit down to the nitty gritty. Oh snaps I can't forget to tell you about all of the rad vintage performances you will be able to view while watching this documentary. Most of the footage takes place in Florida, which to some people in this world is the home of this musical monster called Death Metal. After the jump, step back in time & see some funny metal hair – I mean see a rad documentary!

Bend sex-assault suspect ends chase in suicide
Pulls over near S. Century Drive, shoots self in head
BEND, Ore. - A 52-year-old Bend man suspected of sexual assault refused to pull over for Deschutes County sheriff's deputies and led them on a chase Friday afternoon, eventually stopping near a set of mailboxes – and as deputies got out to talk to him, he shot and killed himself, officers said.
Sheriff's detectives were conducting surveillance around 3:20 p.m. on a sexual assault suspect identified as Gary Ray Salser and asked assisting patrol deputies to stop his car on Vandevert Road, said sheriff's Capt. Tim Edwards.
Salser failed to pull over for the two marked sheriff's office cars, continuing west on Vandevert, then south and west on South Century Drive, Edwards said.
The red Hyundai turned onto Swan Road and stopped near the mailboxes for the Oregon Water Wonderland subdivision, Edwards said.
Three sheriff's deputies positioned their cars behind Salser's car to conduct a high-risk traffic stop, Edwards said.
As they got out of their patrol cars, Salser, still sitting in the driver's seat, raised a handgun and shot himself in the head around 3:25 p.m., Edwards said.
La Pine Fire medics responded and pronounced Salser dead at the scene.
As the request of the sheriff's office, the suicide is being investigated by Oregon State Police detectives, with assistance from the county medical examiner and district attorney's office.
Sheriff Larry Blanton said the man was sought in an alleged rape involving a gun.
Blanton called it "a tragic end to an investigation that, frankly, we don't like, in any sense of the imagination."
Numerous sheriff's deputies and Oregon State Police troopers had responded to the scene on the report of gunfire, and assisted in the subsequent investigation.
Area residents were being told what had happened and asked if they had witnessed what occurred.

A step down from the Blade IMHO
Having had one daughter on KIS and apparently happy, got a second for the other at Christmas. Within a month it had developed a crack on the inner screen. Virgin refused to take it in initially. Apparently worked OK otherwise for a couple of months but then started behaving erratically, swipe screen worked in some ways not in others. Virgin took it in for repair but said crack invalidated warranty - wanted £50 for repair - cost of new KIS... Gave me a phone number to take it up with ZTE - so far no-one is answering that. So unless I can prove the crack developed due to poor build quality, my Sale of Goods Act rights seem to be thrown out the window...

Submitted to: Near Infrared Spectroscopy Journal
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 7/14/1997
Publication Date: N/A
Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary: Spring wheat always brings a premium in the marketplace that is in excess of what one might expect for the small increase in protein content of spring over winter wheat. What is the difference between hard red spring and hard red winter wheat? Near infrared, mid infrared, Raman and 2 dimensional correlation spectroscopy was used to examine hard red winter (HRW) and hard red spring (HRS) wheat and ascertain the differences betwee them. The two dimensional spectroscopy technique developed in this laboratory was used to determine that the two classes of wheat were not only different in their amount of protein, but that the winter wheat protein contained more aromatic amino acids. This information enables breeders to know what characteristics are needed to improve quality and the wheat quality scientists to have new tools to assess quality.
Technical Abstract: Two dimensional correlation spectroscopy across the near infrared (NIR) and mid infrared (MIR) regions have been used to explain the NIR spectra of hard red winter and spring wheat; and provide additional confidence in analytical models developed with empirical data. Recent studies have shown that the major C-H stretching vibrations and some of the aromatic C-H and ring stretching vibrations and the minor vibrations in the "fingerprint" region also are correlated. The technique has been expanded to include Raman spectra. The Raman spectra were enhanced with Maximum Likelihood methods to improve signal-to-noise (S/N) while maintaining resolution. This was necessary to eliminate the effects of fluorescence which degrades S/N. The use of NIR lasers at 1.1 micron generally eliminates fluorescence as a problem, but it is still quite prevalent in agricultural materials. The original study did not show any significant correlations to aromatic functionality. However, the band at 1552 nm correlates to the Raman and not to the MIR. This band has shown up in NIRS models for the determination of lignin, but is not readily observed in MIR. Thus it correlates to a Raman active rather than a MIR active band. The same phenomena are observed for the amide I, II, and III bands for wheat. The interesting features from NIR and MIR are that there are correlations that distinguish winter from spring wheat. These and the Raman spectra of wheat will be shown. These studies show that multiple regions of the electromagnetic spectrum can be and indeed need to be used to adequately interpret the spectral and statistical results we have traditionally obtained in the NIR.

The Unbearable Bassington HTML version
Chapter XI
After the momentous lunch at the Corridor Restaurant Elaine had returned to Manchester
Square (where she was staying with one of her numerous aunts) in a frame of mind that
embraced a tangle of competing emotions. In the first place she was conscious of a
dominant feeling of relief; in a moment of impetuosity, not wholly uninfluenced by
pique, she had settled the problem which hours of hard thinking and serious heart-
searching had brought no nearer to solution, and, although she felt just a little inclined to
be scared at the headlong manner of her final decision, she had now very little doubt in
her own mind that the decision had been the right one. In fact the wonder seemed rather
that she should have been so long in doubt as to which of her wooers really enjoyed her
honest approval. She had been in love, these many weeks past with an imaginary Comus,
but now that she had definitely walked out of her dreamland she saw that nearly all the
qualities that had appealed to her on his behalf had been absent from, or only fitfully
present in, the character of the real Comus. And now that she had installed Youghal in
the first place of her affections he had rapidly acquired in her eyes some of the qualities
which ranked highest in her estimation. Like the proverbial buyer she had the happy
feminine tendency of magnifying the worth of her possession as soon as she had acquired
it. And Courtenay Youghal gave Elaine some justification for her sense of having chosen
wisely. Above all other things, selfish and cynical though he might appear at times, he
was unfailingly courteous and considerate towards her. That was a circumstance which
would always have carried weight with her in judging any man; in this case its value was
enormously heightened by contrast with the behaviour of her other wooer. And Youghal
had in her eyes the advantage which the glamour of combat, even the combat of words
and wire-pulling, throws over the fighter. He stood well in the forefront of a battle which
however carefully stage-managed, however honeycombed with personal insincerities and
overlaid with calculated mock-heroics, really meant something, really counted for good
or wrong in the nation's development and the world's history. Shrewd parliamentary
observers might have warned her that Youghal would never stand much higher in the
political world than he did at present, as a brilliant Opposition freelance, leading lively
and rather meaningless forays against the dull and rather purposeless foreign policy of a
Government that was scarcely either to be blamed for or congratulated on its handling of
foreign affairs. The young politician had not the strength of character or convictions that
keeps a man naturally in the forefront of affairs and gives his counsels a sterling value,
and on the other hand his insincerity was not deep enough to allow him to pose
artificially and successfully as a leader of men and shaper of movements. For the
moment, however, his place in public life was sufficiently marked out to give him a
secure footing in that world where people are counted individually and not in herds. The
woman whom he would make his wife would have the chance, too, if she had the will
and the skill, to become an individual who counted.
There was balm to Elaine in this reflection, yet it did not wholly suffice to drive out the
feeling of pique which Comus had called into being by his slighting view of her as a
convenient cash supply in moments of emergency. She found a certain satisfaction in
scrupulously observing her promise, made earlier on that eventful day, and sent off a

A generation that served with honorHaywood veterans commemorate Vietnam anniversary
Dozens of local U.S. military veterans filed into the pews at the Haywood County Courthouse on Sunday afternoon to honor a generation of men who served in the Vietnam War from 1961-1975.
The gathering was intended to pay tribute to the more than 3 million servicemen and women who left their families to serve with courage and to honor those who gave their lives.
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory recently issued a proclamation declaring Aug. 10 as Vietnam Veterans Recognition Day because that same day in 1964 was the day the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was passed — giving Lyndon B. Johnson the authorization to use conventional military force in Southeast Asia.
Before keynote speaker Vietnam veteran Charles A. Van Bibber gave his speech, Brandon Wilson, Haywood County's Veterans Services Officer, expressed his gratitude toward Vietnam veterans.
"When I came home, I was anxious about how I was going to be treated," Wilson said about his return after serving in Afghanistan. "But our generation has come home to welcome hands and I want to thank you from my generation for doing that for us."
Waynesville resident Van Bibber re-lived some Vietnam experiences while reading several excerpts from his book "Valentine's Day: A Marine Looks Back," which was released just this year.
"What happened there was too much… and you all know exactly what I'm talking about," Van Bibber told the veteran crowd. "We need to remember the families who agonized for their friends, brothers, and husbands, all the while not knowing if they'd be coming back."
While reading Van Bibber recited a prayer he used to say before going out on a mission. "Now I lay me down to creep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die when morning breaks, I pray the Lord my soul to take."
Van Bibber also read a section of his book that expressed his fear of being alone and yet being afraid for his friends.
"It was always comfortable to have men with me, but it also put a knot in my stomach," he read. "I had already lost men in my group and I was no looking forward to that again."
During the ceremony, Wilson read off 21 names of Haywood County men who gave their lives during the Vietnam War, and the crowd offered a moment of silence to revere their sacrifice.
"Those aren't just a plaque on a wall," Van Bibber said, referring to the Vietnam memorial outside of the courthouse. "It's in what they did, the courage they displayed. They deserve medals upon medals."
After the ceremony, veteran Salem Wyatt said he was thankful that the Vietnam veterans were being honored, though he admitted to feeling like it was not owed to him.
Wyatt, a Waynesville native, went to Vietnam when he was 22, and served in combat from 1969-70, where he received a Purple Heart and a Silver Star Medal, which is the third highest military decoration for valor that can be awarded to any person serving in any capacity with the United States Armed Forces.
"We appreciate what's being done today, because we weren't really appreciated when we came home before," Wyatt said.
When asked whether he thought it was all worth it, Wyatt said, "I don't even know what we set out to accomplish."
Vietnam veteran Don Grasty of Maggie Valley said he too was grateful that society had come around to appreciating their service in Vietnam.
"I feel good that Vietnam veterans are being recognized at this stage in our lives," Grasty said. "Forty years ago, it was about as low as you could get. The U.S. has really changed toward our soldiers."
Grasty served as an engineer in Vietnam from 1960-70.
"I'll never forget the heat, or the monsoon of rain that would come right out of a clear sky," Grasty said.

Food, like fashion, has its trends and serving up something new, or with an exotic ingredient, is like wearing a garment from a young designer no-one else has yet discovered.
But we all have favourite pieces in our wardrobe; things that perhaps we haven't worn for years, but when we get out that old jacket and slip it on there's an instant feeling of comfort and memories of a certain place or time.
This week I thought I would share recipes that have been a part of my life for a long time and, like that jacket, have been tucked away out of sight but not out of mind.
They come from a battered old red book I started writing recipes in before leaving home.
I was thinking of going flatting and suddenly had to have a few recipes up my sleeve.
In it, there are faithfuls such as scones, pancakes, quiches, French salad dressing and some great cakes.
There's also a recipe for slow-roasted lamb, succulent and juicy, cooked so the meat just falls off the bone, which now is back on trend in all the top restaurants. (Try Sean Connolly"s superb version at The Grill when you're next eating out.)
The great thing about my little red book is that I still use it every now and then. The recipes are foolproof, have stood the test of time and still impress.
In the first dish, seared beef, I would originally have used rice as the Israeli couscous I have added today (for a fashionable touch and the great texture it brings) wasn't readily available. Israeli couscous is available from some supermarkets or specialty stores. A little goes a long way.
Don't overcook the couscous, and dress it when still slightly warm. It's delicious as an accompaniment to many dishes, but here is folded through the warm salad.
Add olives and feta if you like. The leftovers are perfect placed in a takeaway container and taken for your lunch on the run.
Healthy, wholesome and tasty, the silverbeet cheese pie is a super-food dish that covers all the food groups in one. Add a green salad and you're good to go. I often double the quantity when making this pie, as it's a fight for the last sliver.
It is equally nice cold for a picnic. Often made with filo pastry, this version uses brown rice instead and is simple and quick to cook. Toss a tin of tuna into it if you like. I serve it with my home-made chilli sauce (another recipe from my little red book).
I have had several requests for a great carrot cake recipe. I was given this one when I was 17 and have been making it ever since. Moist and soft, it has never been out of fashion.
This cake never lasts long in our home.
I keep it in the fridge so the icing goes nice and hard then softens while eating; chilling takes a bit of the sweetness out of it. Caramelised hazelnuts are a bit of a treat, but delicious - even on their own.

With this mean and variance you should certainly try it out and see what happens,
But as always then look carefully at all the diagnostics.
Markus K—ller
-> I am trying to predict the total number of children a woman gives birth to. I want to use a Count data model with a Poisson-regression.
-> I am using crosssectional data which has been collected within three waves. Total number of observation is 1350.
-> The mean of my variable "amount of children" is 1,27 and my variance of this variable is 1,131.
-> I see that my variable seems to be underdispersed, since the mean exceeds the variance.
My question is: The mean is bigger than the variance, but is it really "too" much, so that one can speak about "underdispersion"? To me, 1,27 and 1,131 seems not so very different. And if it is not underdispersed, does it mean, that normal Poisson-distribution is the correct approach?
Have a nice evening and thanks everyone,

Gold struggles to drift away from 4-month minimums
On Tuesday, gold was marginally higher during European trading session, though the number one precious commodity struggled to drift away from the previous week's four-month minimums amid indications that the Fed's geared up to raising interest rates in the coming months.
In New York, December delivery gold futures rose 0.12%, trading at $1,262.05 per troy ounce. Yesterday, the most popular precious metal ascended 0.68%, as traders got back to the market, looking for cheap valuations after futures faced their worst one-week trading since September 2013.
On Friday, gold tumbled to $1,243.20, a value, which hasn't been observed since June 7, as a weaker-than-expected jobs report didn't appear to be enough to derail hopes for a rate lift from the Fed before the end of the year.
Markets are currently pricing in approximately a 74% probability of a rate lift at December's gathering.
Gold turns to be very sensitive to moves in American interest rates.

I am considering purchasing an 80's Getzen Signature Custom 2000 Series trumpet at a local music store. Can anybody tell me where this trumpet rates among the other Getzen models?
I am considering purchasing an 80's Getzen Signature Custom 2000 Series trumpet at a local music store. Can anybody tell me where this trumpet rates among the other Getzen models?
It really doesn't matter. It is old enough that it would not play like it is new anyway. Any repairs that may have been done would change the playing characteristics.
With this model, you should definitely play before you pay. That being said, Getzen has some awesome valves. If even only minimal care was taken, they will still be in decent shape.
Let us know what YOU think after you have played it. Then we have a first hand opinion and no conjecture based on memories!
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.
Thanks, Brian.
I'm a "come-backer" and looking for something better than a student model to play. I don't want to jump right in to something like a new strad, so I've been shopping around for a good used pro model. I'm able to find all sorts of info on Getzen horns, but not too much on the D.E.G.. Would it be correct to assume the DEG signature custom 2000's quality is on par with the "regular" Getzen custom trumpets? Would you comment on whether you think $600 is a fair price on the DEG? It has no dings or scratches, very little wear on the finish, and plays like a dream. Thanks!
Any horn that "plays like a dream" is worth $600. I am not sure that you could resell it for that price though. DEG were not the horns that the pros threw their Bachs away for.
I don't think it is ever safe to assume anything. There are good and bad horns from just about everywhere.
If you really want to be sure, take somebody with better chops than yours and let them try this horn. Take your time, play for one another, slur octaves, play scales with a lot of sharps or flats, play in a big room, test the projection. The only proof is in playing it. This is not a horn brand that will walk off of the shelf, you have plenty of negotiating power!
Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

Where I stayed
Avalanche Campground
Jen and I decided to sleep in a little today, since we'd be spending another day in Glacier National. We thought maybe staying in bed until 8 am or so would be perfect, but of course we overslept and didn't muster the strength to get up until about 10am.
Glacier is rather primitive, no electricity and no showers. They also recommend not using any colognes or perfumes as these scents can attract bears. Soooooo we were a smelly bunch today. Thankfully, so was every other camper in the park.
We had been told about a beautiful series of waterfalls on the other side of Glacier National by the photographer we met yesterday, Tim
We grabbed one of the shuttle buses that was going to head back over to the St. Mary Lake area, and had to transfer to a different bus at Logan Pass, the highest point on the road at 6,500 feet. Now, it was cold when we got up this morning, probably about 50 or so, but up at Logan Pass it was a mere 40…and of course like an idiot I was wearing shorts for hiking.
After we got onto the next bus, and my legs had thawed, we enjoyed the view down the mountain. We found our trail and hiked to St. Mary's Falls (a river inlet that feeds the parks second biggest lake) and then hiked on over to Virginia Falls. The whole hike was about 1.5 hrs and 3 miles round trip. The waterfalls were pretty, and thankfully the rain they had called for today held off.
We then proceeded via shuttle down to the boat dock to take a tour of the lake. That was a wonderful experience. Our Captain, Captain Katie as she called herself, was an excellent guide who gave us entire lessons on the geology and ecology of the area
Up until now Jen and I had seen very little wildlife. We came across a mule deer, several ground squirrels, and some pretty birds. Then, on our shuttle ride back…we saw mountain goats! A bunch of them all at once, grazing on the side of the road or in a parking lot. Very neat stuff, and it'll suit us just fine since we didn't see one bear while in the park.
By the time we got back to our camp it was about 7pm, and all we wanted to do was eat dinner. So, naturally, it began raining. Jen settled for a cheese sandwich. I…being the stubborn person I am, could settle for no less than a marinated chicken breast…..rain or no rain!
It was delicious, but as you can see from pictures the flames had…well charred it beyond recognition. And collectively Jen and I looked pretty pathetic, standing over our fire while it rained. And it's cold….gross. Right now I'm dressed in khaki pants, 3 shirts, and a hoodie..AND under a full set of blankets and I'm still cold. The rain is hitting our tent pretty consistently and you can see your breath because of the high humidity and temperature outside. It's miserable.
Regardless of the weather Glacier National has been incredible.

Johnson City Shooting Suspect Appears In Court
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - There are new facts tonight about a Tuesday shooting in Johnson City that left a woman fighting for her life.
The suspect made his first appearance before a judge Wednesday afternoon. Eric Parker is accused of shooting a woman in her middle 20s early Tuesday morning in Lions Park near the Johnson City Country Club.
According to police the victim left Everett's Bar with Parker late Monday night.
According to the arrest warrant the victim was only wearing a shirt and tennis shoes when she was found. There was a belt around her neck and her hip was also dislocated. Condoms, beer cans and shell casings were found next to the body.
Police say they found more evidence linking Parker to the shooting in his car. "The search warrant executed on Parker's vehicle found inside the vehcile a 9mm handgun loaded with Marakov bullets and appeared to have blood on it," explained Robert Lincoln with the Washington County Sessions Court. "The victim's cell phone was stuffed udner the passenger's seat and there were trace amounts of blood throughout the vehicle."
Parker was appointed a public defender. He remains in jail on a $200,000 bond.
The victim was still in the hospital as of Wednesday evening.

Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, until recently the home of whistleblower Edward Snowden, reportedly holds another secret: 20 billion ($32.7 billion) in cash unclaimed for the past six years.
That's enough money to cover the EU's predicted budget shortfall for 2013. No one is sure who it belongs to, and many doubt its very existence.
Some sources have said it was sent by Saddam Hussein, while others offer the Government of Iran as the owner. Those trying to claim it allegedly include Ukrainian spies, Chechen gangsters, al-Qaeda members and even the Knights of Malta.
On August 7, 2007 security company Brink's flew from Frankfurt to Moscow and delivered 200 wooden pallets with 20 billion in 100 notes owned by one "Farzin Koroorian Motlagh", according to a Sheremetyevo delivery document printed by the newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets, which broke the story.
The document does not list a recipient. Several Russian intelligence agencies took control of the shipment, which has not yet been claimed, the newspaper reported.
A source in a Russian intelligence agency reportedly told the paper that the money could belong to former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein, who allegedly had US$12 billion in cash brought to Moscow in 2002 and invested in real estate. But the source warned against digging too deep, saying: "This is more dangerous than you can imagine."
In a subsequent article, an intelligence agency source calling himself "Ivan" reportedly told the newspaper that the US Government had long ago sent two Federal Reserve officers to Iran with a money-printing press to pay for oil it had bought.
When US-Iranian relations went sour, the Iranians were left with US$6 trillion in cash they couldn't use. It was transported to Frankfurt, said Ivan, where it was converted at a disadvantageous rate into 3 trillion. Brink's then delivered this money to 27 countries, including Russia.
Motlagh was one of three people the Iranian Government entrusted with picking up the money, but he tried to steal one of the shipments in Abu Dhabi and then suffered a suspicious heart attack in the custody of Iranian intelligence, Ivan said.

Aerobie Pro Ring
"The Astonishing Flying Ring" was invented in 1984 by Stanford University engineer Alan Adler, who still owns the company and continues to invent new Aerobie products today.
Erin Hemmings broke the Guinness World Record of the "longest throw of an object without any velocity-aiding feature" on July 14, 2003 by throwing an Aerobie Pro Ring 1,333 feet.
- 13" diameter
- Soft rubber edges for comfortable catches
- "Spoiler rim" design balances lift over a wide range of throwing speeds, allowing the ring to fly straight and true for long distances
- Made in USA
NOTE: the Aerobie Pro Ring comes in three colors: Orange, Yellow, and Magenta. Because the manufacturer delivers them to us at random we cannot guarantee the availability of a specific color. If you want a specific color, please send us an email after you've placed your order and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

State job vacancies up
Job vacancies in Minnesota climbed 15.1 percent in the second quarter of 2012 compared with the same period a year ago, according to figures released recently by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED).
Employers reported nearly 63,000 openings during the quarter, up from 54,700 openings during the same period in 2011. Statewide, there were 2.6 unemployed people for each vacancy, compared with 3.6 unemployed people per vacancy during last year's second quarter.
"Job vacancies in the state have returned to levels that we haven't seen since before the Great Recession," said DEED Commissioner Mark Phillips in a news release. "While finding work remains difficult for many people, the latest survey is a positive sign that the labor market is recovering."
According to the survey, 34,600 vacancies (54.9 percent of the total) were in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area, while the remaining 28,400 openings were in Greater Minnesota. Compared with a year ago, job vacancies were up 16.8 percent in the Twin Cities and 39.8 percent in Greater Minnesota.
Jobs in health care and social assistance accounted for the most vacancies (16.5 percent), followed by accommodation and food services (13.4 percent), retail trade (11.5 percent), educational services (10 percent) and manufacturing (8.2 percent).
Middle-sized firms (10 to 249 employees) accounted for 64.5 percent of the openings, while large firms (250 employees or more) had 21.3 percent of the vacancies and small firms (fewer than 10 employees) had 14.3 percent of the vacancies.
Among other findings of the study:
● 42 percent of the openings were for part-time jobs (fewer than 35 hours per week).
● 19 percent were for temporary or seasonal work.
● 44 percent required some level of post-secondary education or training beyond a high school degree.
● 40 percent required related work experience.
● The median wage offer was $11.06 per hour.
● 55 percent offered health insurance.
DEED conducts the Job Vacancy Survey twice a year to measure hiring demand and vacancy characteristics by industry, occupation and firm size in Minnesota. About 10,300 firms in 20 industrial sectors were surveyed in the latest study.
A full report can be found at www.PositivelyMinnesota.com/jvs.
DEED is the state's principal economic development agency, promoting business recruitment, expansion and retention, workforce development, international trade and community development. For more details about the agency and services, visit us at www.PositivelyMinnesota.com.
