I do "suck it up", hence why I still play this game regularly despite clearly broken game mechanics. That doesn't mean I have to like it or even be content. It's my job as a fan and player to let Naughty Dog know about serious balance issues.
And please, don't be all elitist with me. Boosters don't define or make a player. I use BoH's whenever someone complains that I can't win with them, but usually I don't because I don't care about leveling at all.

Re: Uncharted 2: Among Spawns
Alright he is my logic
Say we have these 2 sets of fighters, the first fight each other on equal grounds one wins.
This second set however make it a little interesting, one of them says I'll fight you without using my left hand, nor my feet to kick and you can use this gun.
The fight is clearly in the other's favor, he has a gun he can be far away and pick his target off. Possibly with one hit, the fight begins and The handicaped man cant be found, given the area he uses it to his advantage. Making sure he isnt spotted, making noise on purpose for the other man to think he is in the area. The fight goes on for awhile, until the handicapped man attacks, it came so fast the man witht the gun missed.
The handicap man with his smarts knocked out the man wtih the gun, even though he was outmatched.
When the man who lost came to, he realized he had underestimated the handicapped man.
Clearly they were on different levels
Or to simplify it, if I get just as much kills as the guy using Boosters while Im using BOH and our deaths are about the same or even better I died less, then I am clearly better.

Rick Santorum is back in the headlines after his sweeping victory Tuesday in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri. His success is cause for renewed attention and for a better look at this interesting nugget dug up by the New York Observer's political reporter Hunter Walker.
It is a Hanukkah card sent out by Rick Santorum's South Carolina campaign a couple of months ago. The card shows a menorah and candles, and is decorated with a few Stars of David, but the greeting itself is rather odd. It reads: "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life." This quote could leave Jewish supporters scratching their head since not many Jewish Americans grow up reading John 8:12 of the New Testament. The card did omit however (perhaps in consideration of the Jewish recipients) the first part of the verse which makes clear that it is Jesus speaking.
The card has been popping up in websites today with some writers trying to guess whether Santorum was secretly trying to convert his Jewish followers.
But the real question is who was this greeting card intended for? South Carolina has a lot of Jewish history but a rather small Jewish community and if national Jewish voting patterns apply to South Carolina, Republican Jews in the state are hard to come by. What would make more sense is to address these cards to the state's large evangelical population, which, in general, holds warm feeling toward Israel and the Jewish people, and could probably better appreciate a quote of Jesus from the New Testament.

Kick coverage concerns Cougars
Thu., Sept. 15, 2011, midnight
Wulff challenges kickers to find their perfect spots
PULLMAN – It's hard to find failings in a 59-7 victory.
But following Washington State's win over UNLV last Saturday, Cougars coach Paul Wulff was able to pinpoint one. And it was an area that didn't seem ripe for a breakdown.
WSU's kickoff coverage.
Nitpicking? Possibly, but twice Washington State kicker Andrew Furney missed his spots badly enough that the ball went out of bounds. That results in the offense starting at its 40.
And UNLV's lone score came on a 95-yard kickoff return by Tim Cornett, a result helped by a lower-than-hoped kickoff from Alex Gauper.
In games where the 2-0 Cougars don't score 59 points, such things may be decisive. But Wulff isn't too worried.
"The ball just needs to be placed within reason, and it was the first game," Wulff said this week. "It just wasn't this last game. We can get it fixed."
Wulff's confidence is born from last season's results. The Cougars led the nation in kickoff-return defense, yielding just 17 yards on each of their 48 kickoffs.
Senior Nico Grasu was doing the kickoffs then and he put 22.9 percent of them deep enough to force a touchback. This season, only one of WSU's 21 kickoffs has traveled that far.
"We don't have a kicker with a big leg right now," WSU special teams coordinator Dave Ungerer said, "so we're trying to narrow the field down. The closer we can get the ball to the numbers (on the field), the better off we are.
"When the ball starts going more toward the middle of the field, then I get irritated."
If your kicker can't just boom the ball through the end zone – few college kickers can, especially considering they kick from the 30-yard line – the idea on kickoffs is to shrink the field.
That means dictating where the return team has to start – and where the majority of the coverage team heads. If the kicker misses the spot, there can be heck to pay.
This week the payee could be San Diego State's Colin Lockett, who returned a Cal Poly kickoff 94 yards for a score in the Aztecs' opener. He is averaging 27.3 yards a return in SDSU's 2-0 start.
"It's really hard to defend the whole field," Wulff said. "It's spreads your coverage unit real thin."
The player charged with putting the ball where it supposed to be is Furney. The sophomore, who wrested the place-kicking chores away from Grasu last season, is handling the kickoffs for the first time in college.
"What we do, it's a difficult thing," Furney said. "It's definitely a thing that takes time to get down.
"It's one of those things where it's kind of hard to take a year off from completely, and I definitely have big shoes to fill from Nico. There's a reason we were the (No. 1) cover team in the country last year. Nico did a great job with that."
Two games in, Furney is still learning.
"Right now, he's average," Ungerer said. "He's got a chance to be OK. He didn't hit the ball real good last week at all, as far as distance and hang time and location."
Furney knows that. And he owns it.
"You know, there is really no excuse for what I did on Saturday," Furney said. "It's going to take time to get into and I feel like I can do it, but I've got to go out and do it."

OptiX: A General Purpose Ray Tracing Engine
The OptiX engine is a programmable ray tracing system designed for NVIDIA GPUs and other highly parallel architectures. OptiX builds on the key observation that most ray tracing algorithms can be implemented using a small set of programmable operations. Consequently, the core of OptiX is a domain-specific just-in-time compiler that generates custom ray tracing kernels by combining user-supplied programs for ray generation, material shading, object intersection, and scene traversal. This enables the implementation of a highly diverse set of ray tracing-based algorithms and applications, including interactive rendering, offline rendering, collision detection systems, artificial intelligence queries, and scientific simulations such as sound propagation. OptiX achieves high performance through a compact object model and application of several ray tracing-specific compiler optimizations. For ease of use it exposes a single-ray programming model with full support for recursion and a dynamic dispatch mechanism similar to virtual function calls.
The car, frog, and engine model in Figure 1 are courtesy of TurboSquid. The authors appreciate valuable comments from Dr. Greg Humphreys and benefited greatly from groundwork and numerous conversations on ray tracing with members of NVIDIA Research and the SceniX team.

Church to Move 1,000 Miles For New Congregation
Architect Scott Doyon sees positives and negatives in the church's strategy.
"Conspicuous in the new plans is the apparent absence of a surrounding neighborhood. Thus, a structure that once stood as the spiritual heart of a physical community will now be repackaged as the idealized temple on a hill.
Not that I have anything against grandeur or symbolism. Each has their place. But the church suggests this rebirth will add centuries to the building's life. Assuming that's true, what are the ramifications when the building is embedded in a physical context that many believe has increasingly diminished prospects?"

KATE Winslet goes for gold with a bold fashion statement at a prestigious race
The Titanic star made sure she was ahead in the fashion stakes with an
eye-catching rose fascinator as she attended the 2,000-metre Longines Hong
Kong Cup race with boyfriend Ned Rocknroll.
She stood out from the crowd in a bright red dress, with sheer shoulders,
which showed off her famous curves.
And the loved-up star held hands with Ned as they shared a laugh at the annual
horseracing event.
The 37-year-old actress has been dating Ned – Richard Branson's nephew – since
October 2011 and the couple have recently splashed out on a £3million
mansion in West Sussex.
Earlier the mum of two, who is ambassador for watch maker Longines, attended
the opening of the brand's flagship store in the city.
Dressed in a simple black dress, she signed a huge picture of her own face

So I head downtown to the US consulate after putting my luggage in a locker at St P train station
I got punted off the train 90 minutes ago. OK, says Vladimir, call inside on this phone in the garage (!). I get an answering machine with multiple options which is EXACTLY what you would expect if you were calling say, an insurance company in the US, but not your friendly tax-payer supported consulate. Anyway, I keep getting the answering machine of someone who is obviously not there, so I go and complain to the Russian guards, and somehow I manage to eventually speak with a Russian assistant to the consul named Svetlana, who explained that I needed a diplomatic letter asking the Russian Foreign Minister or some such nabob's permission for a temporary transit visa that MIGHT NOT actually be issued depending on whether he had a fight with his mistress last night, and that said visa is only issued at Pulkovo-2 international airport, an hour away, and the only thing to do is go to the airport and wait there and someone might tell me I can get the visa, or they might not. I go halfway to the airport, and remember my bags are at the train station, so I return to the train station, realizing that I won't be getting out of Russia today and I'll be bored as hell waiting all day without so much as a book to read. I then haul all my shit out to the airport, where I wait until 5:00 PM when the magic word comes that they will issue a visa
In contrast, the visa officer at Pulkovo Airport was trying to win the Nazi Dickhead of the Year award (It's yours dude! You win!) by giving me 48 hours to get out of Dodge when Svetlana specifically got permission for a 3 day transit visa. Totally worn out by the whole affair (remember, this is the ABRIDGED version), and realizing that getting to Denmark in time for my Norwegian cruise will require 2 straight days of trains, buses and ferries, I decide to fork out for a one-way ticket to Kopehhagen out of Pulkovo the next day.
I then go back into ST P where I tramp to a hostel only to be told they are full. (The next time I go on a megatrip, I'm taking a computer and a phone.) I plod off to another one that thankfully has a bed, and which turns out to be the best place I've stayed in 2 weeks (including free all you can eat breakfast). I eat the rest of a loaf of actually quite good rasin bread I picked up near the consulate, and a beer for dinner
Tuesday: After 3 bowls of cornflakes, 6 pieces of toast, 3 cups of coffee an egg and cheese, I head out to Pulkovo. A wave of relief sweeps over me as the immigration officer stamps my passport and I head to my gate. 2:45 PM I am out of this benighted country, operas and space stations be damned. Arrive Kopenhagen, CIVILIZATION. Clean, tidy; English spoken here. Signs that actually tell you where to go. Within 30 minutes I am on an express train up to Aalborg where my friend Win lives with his Danish wife during his summer vacations. Speak a bit with a couple of young (23) fellows about Denmark. Intelligent, charming guys. What a change from the surly, vacuous types China and Russia seemed to throw up. Arrive at Win and Camilla's a bit before midnight. Camilla gives me chocolate ice cream. Couldn't be better... SBR +2

PS3 on the way!!!! (at last)
By Nate 12 Comments
I've been wanting a PS3 for a couple years now (basically ever since MGS4 came out), but I just haven't been able to justify it. Mainly because I have a wife, a kid, and bills to pay, and I already have a 360 and a decent gaming PC. Still, it hurt to be left out in the dark on some dang good exclusives for the PS3 over the past year or two. Now, I've finally decided to take the plunge. I got a good chunk of change for my birthday and last night I placed the order on Amazon. The only thing that sucks is I selected the free super saver shipping, which is 5-9 business days. Oh well, I've waited a couple years, I think another week or so won't kill me.
Games I'll be buying - MGS4, of course! I've got a friend who has Demon's Souls and both Uncharted games so I'll definitely be borrowing those in the near future. Eventually I'll need to get God of War 3 and LittleBigPlanet (2?). Oh man, I'm so pumped - how will I get anything done in the next week?

How old do you have to be to get Breast Reduction? Is 16 years old too early?
I'm 16 , and I'm so insecure about my boobs its ridiculous. My bras never fit , and due to the fact they sag I don't like going to get my bras fitted because it makes me self concious. My mom says you have to be 18 in order to have it done..but I don't want to wait that long..
Doctor Answers 4
Ideal age for breast reduction surgery
The earliest that this surgery can be done is after the age of 18 with parental consent. So mom is quite correct that way ! However ideally speaking this procedure is undertaken in most women once they have completed their families as it might interfere with breast feeding in some cases. So unless you are having severe neck discomfort, have massive breasts giving you a very poor quality of life, its better to wait a bit.
How old do you have to be to get Breast Reduction? Is 16 years old too early?
You have not provided information regarding your height, weight, bra size, etc. However, in general your mom is right, but there are situations where we have no choice but to perform a breast reduction at an earlier age. There are girls who at your age are around 5'5" in height and weigh 120 lb, yet their breasts are a DDD or even F cup. In such cases, yes surgery can be performed before age 18, but they have to be prepared to undergo another possible operation in the future because they stand a high chance of regrowth of the breasts.
Adolescent breast reduction
Insurance requires you to be over 18 and it is also advisable to insure that you are fully developed. In the meantime, you can pursue physical therapy for back pain. Remember that you can't have any surgical procedure before age 18 without parental consent,

How old for breast reduction
If you are 16 and your mother thinks that you need to wait until you are 18, then that is your answer. The surgery has been completed safely and effectively on patients that are your age, but they have the support and consent of their parents to do so. If your reasons for having the surgery are mostly cosmetic, then I would tend to agree with your mom. I think that cosmetic surgery for patients under the age of 18 is not usually the best idea. But if you are having serious back and neck pain symptoms that are causing a medical issue, then bringing your mom to a consultation with a plastic surgeon might open her eyes to the medical benefits that the surgery can provide.

This discussion may contain spoilers!
Ok so some people still think that Lee is still alive somehow but I have proof he's 100% dead. Ok so in the scene where you talk to Luke and tell him your story Luke asks (referring to Lee) "What happened to him?" If you shot Lee in episode 5 then you have an option to say "I killed him... he got bit protecting me and I had to shoot him so he doesn't turn... I had to." or something along those lines. So it's clear that Clem didn't possibly miss and shoot the wall and ran away because she says herself that she killed him. So there you go Lee is dead, if you still think he's alive I'd like to see some proof lol

Not yet.....But I would like to see one done on the Rugers.....
This is a discussion on Torture test within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the General Category category; I have been reading your forms for quite sometime an signed up just to give my .02 i own several ruger firearms an like them ...
I have been reading your forms for quite sometime an signed up just to give my .02 i own several ruger firearms an like them all but their seems to be alot of glock bashing going on which i own several as well have any of u ever watched Tac Tv Glock torture test ?frozen in block of ice ,shot with shootgun,buried,dumped in pond,droped fror chopper,mags run ouer,etc ... still keeps on a runin,hmm!!!ever see a ruger test ?
Not yet.....But I would like to see one done on the Rugers.....
I am one the guys your talking about. LOL Glocks Are A good tool. But I don't need A good tool, I like a nice looking gun with gracefully lines and not to heave And not to bulky. I like A gun that is safe to use and carry. I have all of my toes and I want to keep it that way. A Glock is A good gun for someone else. My $.02
Thanks, that leaves more for me!!!A Glock is A good gun for someone else
Like a fine Italian shotgun, sometimes it's what's on the inside that makes a gun a beauty. I have many horses in this race, but choose to let them all run instead of betting on a favorite.
I don't intend to 'torture' any of my firearms at the present time. In fact I kind of 'baby' them. If the SHTF I'll pick up a Glock and an AK off the BG I shoot!
Look at my forum name and you can guess what I really like, but I like all of my Rugers (and the rest) too. I just can't believe any of you are falling for this guys crap and his desire to stir the pot just to see how far it will go. This should probably get locked right now because of where it's destined to go.
DocGlock, You have a good point there.
You're absolutely right Doc! Guess it dosen't take much to "flair the dander of a long time Ruger fan" when it comes to the quality of the product. I personally have nothing against Glock. My grandson has been after me for a long time to get one and I probably will someday. Thanks for the interventon!!
Glock is a good gun but not to my liking. Simple as that. As for the test, I just don't do that to my guns so it does not really impress me. My gun is kept safe and warm right by my side, regardless of which one it is. I think what I dislike is the Glock Perfection mindset of some of the Glock owners out there. I have never once looked at a guys Glock (or other gun) and then said anything derogatory about his choice. Show me your Raven or Jennings and I will politely thank you for letting me see your gun. Show me your ugly baby and I will compliment the cute outfit. Don't lie. Be nice.

Kid Scoop gets spooky with Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe is a famous writer who died in 1849. He's featured in today's Halloween-themed edition of Kid Scoop. He's credited with creating the detective story, but his most famous work is probably the poem called "The Raven."
In that poem, a man is pestered by a raven who seems to be something more than it is.
The poem has been read and dramatized by many people over the years, including on an episode of "The Simpsons." One of the best was done by Vincent Price, a legend in the movie business for his numerous horror films.
Beyond "The Raven," Poe also wrote the a lot of other spooky tales. The chilling "Tell-Tale Heart" explores the guilt a murderer feels. The spine-tingling "Cask of Amontillado" focuses on a guy who is buried alive. "The Pit and the Pendulum" is an exercise in sheer terror as a man waits to be sliced in two. In all, Poe came up with a lot of scary ideas!
All these great works were written more than 150 years ago, long before Halloween was a common holiday in the United States, yet they're still considered to be among the best short stories ever written.
You can hear Vincent Price's version of "The Raven" here. http://youtu.be/zuGZ_wp_i9w
Learn about Poe himself in this mini-biography. http://youtu.be/x-387NMCR6w
OK, enough of the history stuff, here's a cartoon parody of "The Raven." This one also features a reading by Vincent Price! http://youtu.be/v57cDPH1108

Real life of course would not be quite like that. A Saddam thus cornered would undoubtedly be shot or strung from the nearest lamp-post (most probably both), either by foreign invaders or some of his less adoring subjects. But just suppose he was captured. One thing you couldn't do, despite his proven record of torture, murder, pillage and partial genocide, would to treat him as you would a common criminal charged with offences a fraction as serious.
You cannot put him on trial for the simple reason no court for that purpose exists. What is needed is a fully-fledged international criminal court (ICC). And, mirabile dictu, it looks as if we're going to get one.
In many respects, miracle is the right word. Not even the unavoidable but flawed process of Nuremberg could prod the world into creating a supranational tribunal for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The hope then was, "never again". But the wretched truth since Nuremberg has been, "again and again and again". Man's savagery to man has continued unabated through the second half of this bloodiest of centuries. A permanent UN court to bring individuals to account was deemed, in that most mealy-mouthed of a diplomat's epithets, "impracticable".
So all we have today is the International Court of Justice at the Hague, essentially a civil court dealing with disputes between countries, plus two ad hoc international criminal tribunals, on the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. The first has been at best modestly successful. Of the second, the less said the better.
The failings of the present system - the delays, the disputed powers - have only underlined the need for a permanent international institution to try suspected war criminals in cases where national judicial systems have been unable or unwilling to do the job. And the five-year process of creating one has reached a surprisingly advanced stage.
In just 10 days time in London, EU officials will review the latest ICC treaty draft. In mid-March a final preparatory conference will be held in New York, attended by 140 or more countries. Then in Rome this summer the foreign ministers will settle a draft treaty. Upon ratification, an International Criminal Court will become reality.
The question is, how powerful - in other words, how independent - will it be? Will it be able to instigate investigations and hand down indictments on its own; or will it have first to gain the approval of the government of the accused individual, or of the UN Security Council (thus giving the five permanent members the right to veto a trial that might prove embarrassing)? The answer, as ever, lies largely in the hands of America.
It is America, with the vociferous support of France, that wants a "weak" court, firmly subordinated to the Security Council. One of its objections is reasonable enough - that the US unique role as a global military power could see its soldiers and policymakers at the wrong end of frivolous, politically-motivated charges of human rights abuse. The others mainly reflect its visceral prejudices against the UN and all its works. On any rational assessment, the case for a strong and independent court is unanswerable.
First and foremost, it deals with the principal objection to Nuremberg, of a "Victors' Justice" based upon dubious concepts of law. An ICC trial would reflect the considered judgment of an international panel of permanent prosecutors, expert in the field of atrocities and human rights abuses, and drawing on a growing corpus of relevant international jurisprudence.
Nor would the ICC be just another manifestation of Western cultural imperialism, arrogantly imposing our standards on a world that neither shares nor wants them. The most heartening aspect of the current debate is the support for a "strong" court from Third World countries, several of whom have suffered human rights abuses which would have landed their perpetrators in its dock.
Indeed a permanent international court could help new democracies in that most difficult of tasks - dealing with their own state criminals of the recent past in a manner that is something more than naked vengeance. And for once Britain, instinctively suspicious of anything that smacks of idealism, is on the side of the angels.
We may slavishly adhere to the US-patented Rambo school when it comes to Iraq. But on the matter of the ICC we have broken with the Americans. For that, thank the "ethical" foreign policy - founded on principle, cleansed of moral squalor - which is meant to define this Government's dealings with the world. Unlike Saudi Arabia and pending arms deals, the court is 24-carat ethics with no practical disadvantages.
Of course there is no guarantee the ICC will work. The US and France may yet manage to emasculate it. A host of other questions remain: to what arm of the UN the court will be accountable; whether trials in absentia will be permitted, and how to prevent a prosecution if it endangered peace and security. Absolute idealism can be too expensive a luxury. But if it causes even one wicked leader or his henchmen to think again, over even one intended bestiality, the court will already have proved its worth.

Special Edition: Supreme Court Justices Ginsburg and Scalia
The Supreme Court is expected to be in the news this month ruling on some blockbuster cases dealing with the constitutionality of President Obama's healthcare plan and Arizona's immigration law. Two of the Justices, one a leader of the liberal bloc, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and one a leader of the conservative wing, Antonin Scalia, are likely to be active in asserting their views. Both are passionate music lovers and have been guests on Mad About Music.
On the eve of announcing these momentous decisions, we revisit their appearances on the show:
- According to Justice Ginsburg, she and Justice Scalia share the same musical tastes: "We don't shy away from admitting that we cry at Puccini."
- At least up to the arrival of Justices Alito, Roberts and Sotomayor, Ginsburg said that Scalia was the only Justice who could carry a tune.
- When drafting decisions, both like music on in the background: Mozart for Ginsburg; Bach for Scalia.
- Both have appeared as supers (extras) at performances of the Washington Opera.
- Both studied an instrument: piano and cello for Ginsburg; piano and French horn for Scalia.
- Musical fantasies: Ginsburg would be an opera singer; Scalia a tenor or a violinist.
- Composer they would choose to write an opera about the famous Bush v. Gore case concerning counting votes in Florida: Ginsburg chose Verdi; Scalia chose Mozart.
- Wildcard selection (non-classical choice): Ginsburg: Cole Porter's "Tale of the Oyster"; Scalia: "Sh-Boom" by the Chords.
- Musical choices include Puccini, Strauss, Kreisler, Boyce.
Cole Porter: "Tale of the Oyster." Samuel Ramey, baritone. Recorded live at the United States Supreme Court.

When the transfer window closes on Monday, we will know once and for all whether Arsenal have landed Andrei Arshavin.
But while the 'will he, won't he?' saga approaches its conclusion, some Arsenal fans are wondering why Arsène Wenger's major January target is a Russian playmaker. After all, he intimated last summer that a central midfielder - or even a centre back - was top of his shopping list.
Wenger was asked about his recruitment priorities at Friday's press conference and had a firm answer for those who feel Arsenal need more 'tough guys' in the spine of their team. The Frenchman insists that it is difficult to improve on his current batch of midfielders and defenders.
"I believe that we have the needed quality in the middle because [Abou] Diaby develops very well and I think that [Alex] Song develops well," said Wenger. "And I don't believe that Denilson gets the credit that he deserves at the moment.
"At the back you can see the quality of players we have like [William] Gallas and Kolo [Toure] and [Johan] Djourou, they are in their national teams and to find better players is not easy.
"I agree that people always want better players but many clubs when they want better players come to see us so that means our players are good. For example Milan wanted [Philippe] Senderos, Senderos is 22 and Milan have scouts everywhere, so that's why I believe we have the needed quality.
"Djourou is 21 and you think he will be better and we have to give him a chance."
So why is Wenger after Arshavin? "What is very important at a big club is that you need a creative unit that you can interchange," explained Wenger. "They are the players that are most difficult to find."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Good Morning Stampers!
I spent this weekend working ahead on some of my design team samples. I have a couple of weeks completed so now I can focus on other things.
Over at Late Night Stampers we have a sketch challenge this week.
This was a fun sketch and I took the opportunity to play with the doily sizzlit die. I also used the sketch to play with some flower punches. I used some of my Everyday Enchantment ds paper to make the flowers. Here is what I created.
inside of card and envelope
This was a cheery card as I used Tangarine Tango. I am on a bright color kick. I think it is the cold weather and the desire for some spring days. How about you, are you hoping for some warmer days? Thanks for looking and have a Marvelous Monday!

Dear Reader,
It is often said that those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it. It's also said that while history never repeats exactly, it sure rhymes a lot. So, while looking at previous bull markets doesn't prove anything about the current one, it does offer a reasonable basis for guiding expectations. This is what Jeff and Alena have done in the article below, as regards volatility in silver and gold prices. Their conclusions are well worth taking to heart.
And finally, one last note – today marks the 500th alert to be issued in the near 20-year history of Casey Investment Alert, our premium precious-metals alert service. Normally, these alerts are available only to subscribers of this elite service, but in honor of this proud moment, we're making it available to you. Click here to access your free copy.

Bipolar Silver: How to Profit
By Alena Mikhan and Jeff Clark
Most precious-metals investors know that silver is more volatile than gold. But do they know just how big that difference really is?
We thought it would be interesting to measure how much greater silver's daily moves are – both in gains and declines – than gold.
We documented the daily price movements for both metals, and then calculated the difference using absolute values. To interpret the charts below, you need to know that:
- Values above zero represent days when silver had a greater percentage move than gold, as depicted in gray.
- Values below zero are days when gold moved more than silver, as depicted in orange.
- The values don't tell us the direction of price movements, only how much they differed between each other on any given day.
- The darker horizontal lines represent the moving average of the price differences for each metal.
With that in mind, here are the differences in daily price movements between silver and gold, measured in percentage points.
(Click on image to enlarge)
The chart is very busy, but it clearly shows that silver's daily price movements, more often than not, have been greater than gold's. In fact, from January 2003 through last week, silver's movements were larger 71.5% of the time. Regardless of the direction of precious metals on any given day, silver had a greater percentage move than gold roughly three out of four days.
Further, you'll notice that the magnitude of silver's movement have been much greater, too. On average, silver's price movements exceeded gold's by 1.3 percentage points, while on days gold had the bigger move the average was 0.81 percentage points. The moving averages easily show this.
Here are some of the more extreme examples. On May 12, 2011 (silver's biggest spike in the chart), gold rose 1.23% – but silver soared 17.05%. The day gold had the biggest percentage move more than silver occurred on December 2, 2008; gold rose 0.26% to silver's 5.05% decline.
So, is this greater volatility in silver normal? And what might we expect when the Mania Phase of this bull cycle kicks in?
The following chart maps the daily difference in price movement between gold and silver from January 1971 through December 1980.
(Click on image to enlarge)
In the last big precious-metals mania, silver also logged bigger one-day movements than gold, in this case 63.5% of the time. On average, silver gained or lost 1.41 percentage points more than gold. When gold outperformed silver, roughly one-third of the time, the average percentage-point difference was 0.81.
You'll notice another interesting point. When the market entered the Mania Phase, silver's bigger one-day movements over gold's grew even bigger. During the 1979-1980 period, silver outperformed gold by an average of 2.46 percentage points, almost double what it did before the mania. In contrast, gold's average remained the same during the entire decade – 0.81.
Some of the more extreme examples include September 18, 1979, where gold rose by 6.82% and silver soared 36.59%; and March 27, 1980, where gold fell 4.38% and silver dropped 18.58%.
What Are the Implications for Investors?
On average, silver rises higher and falls further than gold. This is true as much today as it was in the 1970s. The difference has reached as much as 15 percentage points during this cycle, while it hit 30 during the last mania. This means that investors:
- Must be able to stomach the bigger moves, regardless of the direction. If you have a tendency to get emotional about your investments, you may want to reduce your exposure to silver.
- Have an opportunity to get better prices on silver than gold. If you buy during the downdrafts, you will likely reap a bigger percentage gain than gold, as history has shown.
The historical record tells us that when we enter the mania, silver's volatility will increase. If we have a similar period as in 1979-'80, we can reasonably expect volatility to double over current levels. This will be the result of more investors joining the precious-metals industry. The moves will, on some days, be breathtaking. So again, one must be prepared emotionally to handle the volatility, as well as be more nimble when it comes to buying and selling.
Since current volatility is roughly half what it was during the last mania, we have yet another piece of evidence that indicates we're not in a bubble. Yet. Ignore those who claim otherwise; you still have time to enter this market.
It also means that when silver resumes its uptrend, the producers will outpace the metal by a wide margin. The "snapback" in silver stocks should be tremendous – but not every company will benefit equally, as not all producers have the same profit potential, political exposure, management prowess, and growth prospects.
Gold and Silver HEADLINES
Hong Kong-to-China Gold Flow Hits Record High in 2012 (Reuters)
China's gold imports from Hong Kong jumped 94% in 2012 to a record high of 834.5 tonnes (26.8 million ounces), from 431.2 tonnes (13.9 Moz) in 2011, confirming that demand remains powerful.
The World Gold Council is widely expected to confirm that China overtook India as the world's top gold consumer in 2012. Another reason it's likely is that the Indian government continues its harsh measures to curb gold demand.
Besides increasing gold imports, China's gold production grew by a robust 11.7% in 2012, reaching 403 tonnes (12.9 Moz). China thus kept its ranking as the world's largest gold producer for the sixth consecutive year.
Gold ETFs in India Touch 40 Tonnes (Mineweb)
While the Indian government continues inventing new methods to restrain gold imports, investors can still turn to gold-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to get exposure to the yellow metal. The ETFs allow investors to trade gold-backed assets in a nonphysical form via stock exchanges.
The first ETF appeared in India about six years ago. Fourteen gold ETFs are available now, with total holdings amounting to 40 tonnes (1.3 Moz) of gold.
India's ETF holdings are only about 10% of the 398 tonnes (12.8 Moz) of gold the country imported in the April-October 2012 period. The opportunities are ripe for this type of gold investment to gain more traction if Indian authorities continue their interventions.
Scientists Discover Midas Bacteria (Mining.com)
A group of scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Canada, discovered a bacterium that turns toxic, water-soluble gold into microscopic nuggets of the metal.
The scientists studied how this microorganism produces molecular-sized gold substances outside its cell wall. They concluded that "the answer lies in a molecule excreted by the microbe that both shields the organism and transforms the poisonous ions into particles. In other words, it protects itself by turning its environment to gold."
Among the ideas of how these findings may be applied to commercial use is the possibility of using bacteria to seed waste-drop piles, leave them standing for years, and then see if bigger gold particles have formed and can be recovered.

Add a retro feel to your décor with this chic chrome and marble arc floor lamp design from George Kovacs.More Details >
From the George Kovacs collection of arched floor lamps, this design was recently highlighted in "TV Guide" magazine for its Mid Century modern cool. It features a classic arc light profile with a polished chrome dome and pole. The arc design allows you to set the lamp in a room corner and still reach seating areas. A heavy marble base provides extra stability.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Couldn't put this lamp where I thought I would because of wide base. Fortunately, Plan B was actually better. Could the base be smaller and thicker? Other than that, this is a really elegant, beautifully constructed lamp. Light that heads upward from a ring of holes on the top of the shade are a plus. Diameter of arc is also deep, but the flexibility of the height made it perfect for the room. This is an accessory that really takes center stage.
This is an amazing floor lamp and the reason is the simplicity of it. It has very heavy marble base to secure lamp on floor. On carpet it a bit flimsy but on hardwood or laminate it will be solid rock. The only not a complain but a suggestion would be to have the underneath of the globe lamp to have a kind of white diffuser. This will eliminate the hard light if you are sitting right under the lamp and if you glance on top you have a light right to your eyes. I did put lower bulb in it just to to be easy on the eyes when sitting on sofa underneath of it. If you put 60W or higher than it might blind you but will give you more light. Maine reason I went with it because of the look not the lighting itself to illuminate the whole room. I have 8 ft celing and it looks fantastic over the nice cloth light brown sofa.Images/Videos shared by: Russ D
PERFECT for spot I needed it for. I can walk under the curved portion & it illuminates my recliner chair which is not near an electrical outlet. Much better made than several other similar arc lamps I examined. I am very pleased with it. My hubby raved over the fact that not one piece was missing, and that the directions were clear & the diagrams made sense. We are repeat customers of Lamps Plus. They are easy to deal with purchase wise and we have never had any problems with our lamps from them. We are considering buying another lamp just like this one for our den so we can read while sitting the couch. Design is simple yet strong-I would grade it A+.
We purchased this to go with our mid-century home and decor. Looks awesome! We have had many compliments on the lamp. The lamp is also sturdy and was easy to put together.Images/Videos shared by: Lisa
Easy to put together and is a great accent piece.
adds panache to a large room
I put this lamp in a corner behind a couch. It gives the space some dimension and height...I am very pleased with it! I bought when the big lamp sale was going on. I was hesitant to pay full price, but on sale, the value is good.
Looks great when lit and shows off furniture below it. Easy to position for best effect
Great value and looks
very good
This is a great floor lamp for mid-century or modern - I have it illuminating a small chrome modern breakfast nook table
This is a great lamp - very stylish and really practical
I love this lamp. I have been looking for quite some time for strictly chrome dome lamps. I have a smaller one I bought in the 70's and I didn't realize how hard they are to come by now. Lampsplus was the only place I was satisfied with. Thank goodness for George Kovac's designs. I wish Lamps plus had a store close to us.
Love this lamp. Can look at it all day long. State of art design and function is great too.[...]
Great lamp. It's tall enough to arch over traffic path in living room without hitting your head on it. And for some reason, every man who's been into my living room comments on this lamp.

I also converted to the powerflex bushings for the control arms and the swaybar and glad I did. I was a bit worried about ride quality but given the crappy roads in Chicago with the winter I couldn't be happier. Next I plan to do the same with the rear bushings.
You asked about suspension, I can't say how well the ride quality is, but have you considered Suspension Techniques? I was considering this as an option when I tackle this. Normally I would do coils on a car but I picked this car up cheap and given its age/worth I just can't see dumping money towards a nice set of coils. If your interested PM me I can put you in contact with the guy I have been working with. Best price I have found so far and it was only $379 shipped
(that's for all 4)
No coil over for me thanks for the offer though. I will do sway bar links and bushings along with the struts and I'll report back to everyone. Thanks for all the info

Before every Arsenal fixture, we'll bring you a Scouting Report on the Gunners' next opponents.
Arsène Wenger's side face Napoli on Saturday in the Emirates Cup, so to find out more we asked tactical expert Michael Cox and journalist James Horncastle for their views.
The departures of long-serving coach Walter Mazzarri and star striker Edinson Cavani were always likely to prompt a dramatic change in playing style for Napoli, and the appointment of Rafael Benitez confirms last season's Serie A runners-up will play a significantly different brand of football in 2013/14.
Under Mazzarri, Napoli were superb on the counter attack, and the defining feature of their gameplan was the commitment to playing with a three-man defence. Benitez, however, has generally favoured a 4-2-3-1 in his spells at Valencia, Liverpool, Inter and Chelsea - and his pre-season selections indicate Napoli will switch to a back four.
Benitez rarely compromises his methods when taking charge of a new side, so expect plenty of zonal marking and squad rotation
Napoli played with two deep midfielders under Mazzarri, and this is arguably the only area of the side that won't change significantly. Their three options in this position are all Swiss - former West Ham man Valon Behrami, former Bolton man Blerim Dzemaili and the exceptional Gokhan Inler, a huge physical presence and ?a tremendous all-round central midfielder.
In the attacking band of three, Benitez will probably favour Marek Hamsik in the centre. Benitez has strengthened the flanks with the signing of pacy winger Jose Callejon from Real Madrid, while Belgian newcomer Dries Mertens also plays wide but charges into goalscoring positions more frequently. Lorenzo Insigne, a slender but skilful 5ft 4in wide forward, favours the ?eft but Benitez has admitted he'd like to experiment with the youngster centrally.
Veteran Goran Pandev, who played under Benitez at Inter, has been deployed wide in recent years, but can also feature up front. First choice will be Cavani's replacement Gonzalo Higuain, a good all-round forward capable of leading the line and getting on the end of crosses.
Benitez rarely compromises his methods when taking charge of a new side, so expect plenty of zonal marking and squad rotation, ?and for the Spaniard to constantly encourage his side to remain 'compact' from back to front, denying the opposition space in midfield.
There's been a lot of excitement at Napoli. For the last three years, they have been a team that have been in the contention for the title without really genuinely challenging for it.
At the end of last season when Walter Mazzarri left, there was a lot of optimism by the path taken, which was to hire Rafael Benitez. That was a bit of a coup.
The summer has taken off for them since the sale of Edinson Cavani. A lot of people still wonder how well they will cope without Cavani. They've never had a striker like him.
A lot of people still wonder how well they will cope without Cavani. They've never had a striker like him
Napoli have made some real waves in the transfer market so far. I think Pepe Reina is an upgrade on the goalkeeper they had but maybe wasn't at his best during his last couple of years at Liverpool. They've also signed some players along with Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid - Raul Albiol and Jose Callejon. The all-round quality of the squad has improved. Dries Mertens has joined from PSV Eindhoven and I think he could be an important player.
Having lost Cavani, Benitez wants to get 10 or 15 goals from some players in midfield. Marek Hamsik had a great season last year and was, along with Francesco Totti, the only player in Serie A to get into double figures for goals and assists. They've got goals in their team and were the top scorers in Serie A last year. They were lethal on the counter attack when Cavani was at the club but they were never really a defensive team.
I think Napoli will win 2-1.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Gluten Free • Paleo • Sugar Free • Dairy Free
Gluten Free • Paleo • Sugar Free • Dairy Free
You know when you've had a baby and suddenly there's all these things happening to your body, and your life, that no one tells you about. When you ask someone "Why didn't you tell me about X?" the response is always a sly grin and "because if you knew then you would haven't have done it". Women, and movies, often paint pregnancy and childbirth as romantic periods where you glow and ooze beauty and are engulfed by so much love and happiness that you might simply burst. I'm sure for some women this may all be true but the rest of us…it can be hard work, and many times things don't go to plan.
I'm a planner. I like to know what I am doing and have the direction well set before I embark on any course of action (or at least I was before children). My pregnancies where all well planned and prepared for, but they didn't necessary go according to plan. And as for my birth plan; it just ended up being list of wishes and might-have-beens. For whatever reason the plans are broken it is how we deal with them and learn to move on from them that is important… and also hard work.
What the women and the movies don't tell you is that there will be times when, as a parent, you make the best decision you can in that moment, in that second, and sometimes you regret it. Sure, if you had longer to contemplate the situation, weigh up the pros and cons and do some research you might have come to a different conclusion but you didn't have that then. You did the best you could do and that's ok. It's not brilliant, it's not terrible. It's ok, and that's ok too.
So this is what I have learnt: stop torturing yourself about things that you no longer have control over. Learn from them and don't do it again, but don't continually beat yourself up over it. The guilt and the anxiety over the "should have's, could haves, would haves" is not healthy nor helpful.
Learn from the experience; don't let it rule you.
Reward yourself for the good; don't only punish the bad.
Remember you are only human; a super awesome human but one without superhero powers nonetheless.
Forgive yourself. You tried your best and sometimes that's all you can do.
I'm so glad that you said that because there are things that I hear all the time that sound like major things but people just gloss over them! I like to be prepared! 😉
One of my favourite sayings is "done is better than perfect". And I think it's especially relevant with parenting. You do the best you can at that point in time. And…oh my goodness…that fudgey slice! I'm going to try it, substituting glucose syrup or rice malt syrup for the maple syrup (which I can't eat).
This secretly healthy fudge sounds PERFECT! I can't wait to try it 😀
YUM! this looks delicious! So popping it in the archives for when my cousins come to visit! x
Madeleine, The Daily Mark
Any left? Looks absolutely delicious!
Definitely looks delish!
As a parent, I can say your post is spot on!!! As I chocolate fudge lover, I can say OMGosh this is the funkiest ingredient list I have ever seen for fudge!!! And I can't wait to try it!
Oh I love that this recipe has spinach.. So good.
A brilliant way to get spinach into my green vegie resistant toddler. Can't wait to try this one.
Great post and recipe. Will have to try this for my son sometime!

Travel to Kenya and experience a walk through the Masai Mara.
Travel to Kenya and explore the Masai Mara with an expert guide. Take a guided walk to visit a Maasai homestead, and spot Africa's famed wildlife from safari vehicles through the reserve. Camp in a tented lodge and be lulled to sleep by the sounds of Africa. This is a great short break for those with limited time, looking for a real African experience.

Why we love this trip
Stay in a tented lodge on the edge of the Masai Mara Game Reserve
Take game drives through the Masai Mara to search out the Big Five
Travel across the Great Rift Valley
Meet Kenya's Maasai people tending their herds on a guided walk
Is this trip right for you?
This itinerary starts and finishes in Nairobi and includes two long drives.
This is one of our Short Breaks and is slightly different to our group tours. There is no group leader but rather a local guide with the idea being that you maintain a level of independence during down time. You'll most likely travel on a join-in basis, which means you may or may not be joined by others for activities and transportation, depending on demand.
You are required to be at the reception of the Kenya Comfort Hotel Suites by 7:30am for a brief pre-departure meeting. Your leader will leave a note at reception telling you where this important meeting will take place. Please ask a member of reception for this information.
Nairobi - which takes its name from a Maasai phrase Enkare Nyrobi meaning 'place of cool waters' - has a cosmopolitan atmosphere. There are plenty of good bars and restaurants, while markets and shops have most things you could want or need, as well as various arts and crafts from the region.
Travel west, crossing the floor of the Great Rift Valley and traversing the escarpment before reaching the town of Narok in the land of the Masai. As we near this area we are likely to see many colourfully dressed Masai tribes people tending to their herds of cattle. After a stop for lunch in Narok, head to your lodge, which is located across the river from the Masai Mara Park (250 km, approx 8 hours).
Take a guided 2 hour walk around the area visiting a Maasai homestead along the way. Wild animals are sometimes sighted on this walk.
Our accommodation is at Mara Springs Tented Camp or similar, a simple tented camp located in a prime game viewing area just 15minutes away from the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Each tent has beds with linen, simple furnishings and en suite bathrooms.
While brazen crime is thankfully fairly uncommon in Nairobi, petty theft unfortunately is not and recently arrived visitors to the capital can often make for tempting targets. Your trip leader will verse you in a few worthwhile precautions at the welcome meeting, but if you are arriving early please heed a few simple safeguards.
As a general rule, the safest place for your valuables is on your person in a neck wallet or money belt, though your hotel room or reception may have safes in which it would be advisable to store things if you're wanting to head out. If you do decide to go exploring, make sure you get local advice on where it is and isn't safe to walk - particularly when it's getting on in the day. Thieves and pickpockets have also been known to operate in bars and restaurants, so don't let up keeping your wits about you once you're inside somewhere. Don't leave day packs or handbags unattended on chairs or the floor. There's no need to be paranoid, but appearing vigilant is a great deterrence to would-be thieves. Finally, make colour scans of any important travel documents before you leave and email them to yourself: in the event that you are the unlucky victim of a theft, this will save you hours of police, embassy and travel insurance hassles.
- Permanent tented camp (1 night)
Included Activities
- Masai Mara Walk
Meals Included

A huge area of woodlands and open plains backed by the striking Esoit Oloololo Escarpment, the Masai Mara is home to all of the Big Five.

In the rainy season this area is flooded by over a million wildebeest on their annual migration.
Explore this diverse environment and view a multitude of wildlife. Spend an entire day on a wildlife spotting quest in the reserve.

Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist?
Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed.
For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?
Any kind that's cream (creme?)-filled.
And yes, it is "doughnut."
Beignet and coffee
I Love croissants, whether they be plain, chocolate, or almond (really love almond), but I desperately want to try the cronut, which might be my ultimate treat!
kolache - type of pastry that holds a dollop of fruit rimmed by a puffy pillow of supple dough.
Very yummy!! Poppy seed is the best.
jjlewes wrote:Beignet
Those are good too!
Croissant. I could eat 50 if I had 50 in front of me. In fact, Croissants are all I ate this past Sunday. You have no idea how much time in the gym it will take to work that off!
pecan sticky bun! mmmm
Part croissant, part donut, all awesome!
Bearclaw please!
Cream filled eclair is for me, when I need to sin.
cruller... and i don't mean those crappy things krispy kream tries to pass as a cruller. they just take their donuts and twist them or press them or whatever. i mean the ones that are basically hollow with the custardy bits that are the under cooked portions of the batter. basically deep fried pate choux. mmmmmmmm...
The best kind will always be FREE!
Cheregi. A delicious memory from my youth.
(Hey! It's fried dough, of course it's good!)
Bear Claw
Since no one else has, I must mention the churro. Very tasty!
Of course, for me, about the only pastries I would turn down are bear claws, elephant ear, and most cinnamon rolls (altho Cinnabon does rule).
Doughnuts, specifically bismarcks.
made of dough, not do
I voted for another and would vote for Beignets
Chocolate eclaire.
(Srsly, pre-made puff pastry shells + pudding + bananas. Try it some time.)
lotsofgoats wrote:made of dough, not do
But not made of nuts. So your logic just died.
Columbian cheese bread- soft and slightly sweet with a cheesy center. i could eat a whole loaf or two!
Crumb cake!
Brownies... people people... how could you forget!!

I am a sugar freak. I like all of them, how to choose, how to choose, it could take me all week.

Seconded! I really need to learn how to make those. Can't be that hard.
Spudnut - made with potato flour.
The one that I get to eat.
I like many sweet treats, but probably cinnamon rolls the best.

Edwards 'Unlucky'
To Miss Out
Match Preview | 3rd June 2010
Nottinghamshire Director of Cricket Mick Newell said that Neil Edwards should consider himself unlucky to have been left out of the Nottinghamshire team to face Kent at Tunbridge Wells.
Newell has left out the former Somerset opener to accommodate the inclusion of David Hussey but admits that he considered dropping Samit Patel before elevating him to open alongside Alex Hales.
Luke Fletcher is also in consideration having recovered from a stomach strain and Graeme White will play if Newell elects to include a second spinner.
"David Hussey was always going to go straight into the side and Neil and Samit haven't scored as many runs as they would have liked to so far this season," said Newell.
"I made the decision to include Samit because of what he offers with his bowling and he needs to adapt to the challenge of facing the new ball.
"Neil was unlucky to miss out and I know that he'll be keen to earn his place back as soon as possible."
Notts are top of division one of the LV= County Championship having won four, drew one and lost one of their opening six matches.
Nottinghamshire team to face Kent (from): Alex Hales, Samit Patel, Mark Wagh, David Hussey, Steven Mullaney, Ali Brown, Chris Read, Paul Franks, Andre Adams, Luke Fletcher, Darren Pattinson, Charlie Shreck, Graeme White

trs fab catch can question
I know this is a stupid question, but I am going to ask anyway. The drain valve on the catch can is like an air compressor drain valve right? So it is closed when it is backed all the way out and you can see/feel the threads, and it is open when it is screwed all the way up to the can itself? A buddy has the same can and told me right tight lefty loosey, but that doesn't apply to these valves, right? Eitherway, one of us is running with it open all the time. Hopefully it's him.
On a side note, the quality and fit of this can and intake are amazing.
Re: trs fab catch can question
Here is a link to the picture. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ervzzl54g8...411_160602.jpg
Do you think the drain is closed or open? I can't belive the varied answers I have gotten from a group of engineer buddies.
Re: trs fab catch can question
If its open, wouldn't you feel pressure/vaccum if you put your finger over it when the car is running? Or is it in too unsafe a location to check?
Re: trs fab catch can question
I would think the same , but I couldn't feel any suction either way. I had a rx can on a past car and if it looked unscrewed so you could see or feel threads then the drain was closed. I have read that the evacuation vacuum is almost nonexistent when not making boost on this engine.

Re: trs fab catch can question
OMG . I just installed the same one today and an intake and had the same problem . I put my finger on it and couldn't feel a thing and it was a mother fuxxxxr to turn ad well . There was a couple drops of oil on the turbo inlet and in the intake . I'm happy to say that after 2000miles of HARD driving it's not using any oil .
Re: trs fab catch can question
Thanks for the reply. Did you look at the picture in link? Is the drain valve open or closed? Also, glad it's working for you and no more oil consumption through the intake.
Re: trs fab catch can question
Just got confirmation from the builder.
The picture shows that the valve is closed, so if you can see / feel threads it is closed. So no righty tighty lefty loosey here. I started doing google searches and was amazed at how many people unknowingly run their cans with the drain open and then complain on various forums about them not working or catching any oil. Just like my buddy who has had his open for 5 or 6k miles and never had a drip of oil in there.
I recommend this mod to anyone as it is an easy install quality is great and now turbo sound is louder.

Cato Institute gives Hick an "F"
Our friends over at the Cato Institute just came out with their Fiscal Policy Report Card on America's Governors (2014). You'll never guess where our governor lands in their ranking. Would you believe it if I told you Hick is 2nd?! Yes, Governor Hickenlooper – Mr. I haven't met a tax or debt increase I haven't liked – earned 2nd.
SECOND FROM DEAD LAST THAT IS. Only California Governor Jerry Brown was ranked lower than Hick.
Don't believe me? Here's a picture (click to enlarge):
Each state get its own little paragraph. Here's the commentary for Colorado, ranked 49th out of 50:
General fund spending has ballooned over the past three years under Governor Hickenlooper, from $7.2 billion in 2012 to a proposed $9.2 billion in 2015. The governor's proposed spending increases have averaged 6 percent over the past three years. His most recent budget included a 15 percent spending boost for higher education and new spending on corporate welfare programs. State government employment is way up under Hickenlooper, rising 16 percent since he came to office. He pushed for a huge personal income tax increase on the ballot in 2013 to fund education, which would have raised more than $900 million annually. If passed, Amendment 66 would have replaced Colorado's flat income tax of 4.63 percent with a two-rate structure of 5.0 and 5.9 percent. Luckily for Colorado taxpayers, this increase was soundly rejected by voters, 65 to 35 percent.

When you're moving or visiting overseas with your pet, it can be a stressful situation. When you hear so many horror stories about pets that have flown under the plane, it makes you wonder what the best transportation method is.
Pet Relocation is a worldwide door-to-door pet transportation service, which focuses on safe and compassionate pet shipping. The last thing you want is to traumatize your animal when you're moving internationally, so why not ensure that your pet will get a safe and secure trip over? At least with this service, your pet will be transported in a climate controlled and pet friend flight. Plus, if your pet has to wait for its next flight, there are airport pet hotels that will give your animal food and water as well as a walk and cage cleaning before his/her next flight!
Flying is not as easy as it used to be, because you have to make sure you're abiding by the strict rules and regulations, so why not setup your pet with a pet friendly airline so you have one less thing to worry about?


text: I'm making some heart appliques to put on a quilt. I need to be sure I have enough bobbin thread before I start each applique. It will go a ways if it runs out of thread before it stops to let you know. I don't see that there is any way to advance from the beginning of the design to the point it ran out of thread so you can continue from there. I need to either trash the applique I was working on or try to run the program from the beginning with no thread until I get to where I want to use thread again. Of course it continues to keep stopping because there is no thread. Unfortunately, I don't have enough of one of the fabrics that I can afford to throw any away. I guess that's one drawback to an inexpensive machine. I'm really enjoying the machine, tho, and I just bought it as a starter. If I find I want more, I can upgrade.
