U.S. Company Credit Swaps Fall to 7-Year Low on Jobs Data
A gauge of U.S. corporate credit risk fell to a seven-year low after reports showed signs of improvement in the job market.
The Markit CDX North American Investment Grade Index, a credit-default swaps benchmark that investors use to hedge against losses or to speculate on creditworthiness, decreased 2 basis points to 57.9 basis points at 9:12 a.m. in New York, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg. That's the lowest intraday level since October 2007. The measure has declined 4.1 basis points this week.
Employers added 217,000 jobs in May, pushing U.S. payrolls past their pre-recession peak, while the jobless rate held at an almost six-year low, figures from the Labor Department showed in Washington today. The job gain beat the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists which had called for a 215,000 increase.
The risk premium on the Markit CDX North American High Yield Index, tied to the debt of 100 speculative-grade companies, fell 5.6 basis points to 300 basis points, or 3 percentage points, headed for the lowest close since June 2007, according to prices compiled by Bloomberg. High-yield, high-risk bonds are rated below Baa3 by Moody's Investors Services and less than BBB- at Standard & Poor's.

'I was fascinated with Lego. Instead of following the instructions, I built whole worlds across my bedroom floor.' Away from commercial projects, he is passionate about handprinting.
In his studio off Hoxton Square, he makes posters with nursery rhymes, such as 'Pop! Goes the Weasel' and 'Oranges & Lemons', in typefaces that hark back to Victorian times. He lives in Stoke Newington with his partner Anne and one-year-old daughter Clementine.
What has been your strangest commission?
It was for a Victorian freak show on Carnaby Street called Wunderville for the London Design Festival in 2006. We were in Victorian dress trying to entice people to see a stuffed sheep with two heads.
That's where I sold one of my posters called Elephant Man, which was selected as a finalist at the Chicago International Poster Biennial 2008.
Describe your studio.
It's a tidy mess with books stacked in piles everywhere. To anyone else it looks like a bomb has hit it, but I know where everything is.
Who are your heroes?
The man behind the 'I love New York' logo, Milton Glaser. He's a graphic designer with 50 years' experience. He invited me to his studio in New York and gave me invaluable advice.
Who inspires you?
R Buckminster Fuller, an engineer and architect from the 1950s and 1960s, who helped mastermind geodesic domes, like those at the Eden Project. Working on such a large scale would be fantastic.
What's next?
The Tolkien Estate granted me permission to set a poem from The Lord of the Rings. It's a song called 'Oliphant' about mythical battle elephants. HarperCollins will be promoting and selling it in the New Year. A project with complete artistic licence and elephants; it couldn't be better.

What is Love?
Miscellaneous by: storyofmylife
Status: Finished
Genre: Editorial and Opinion
well, here is a question for all you out there
What do you think love is? define it.
i dont know, i was just wondering what you think.
[keep in mind that there are different types of love]
it just seems like everyone i ask has different answers, which is really cool cause it's nice to hear all these different explanations and know that they're all right.

well my meaning of love.. in general is
LOVE: an affectionate feeling toward another person...
but personally i think love cant be put into words.
Love= We think about it, we dream about it, we lose sleep worrying about it. When we don't have it we search for it and when we discover it we don't know what to do with it. We fear loosing it. it's our source of pleasure & pain but we can't predict which it will be from one moment to the next. It's a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define, and impossible to live without =)
Love is when you get a call on your cell phone and is your husband and you say, "Yes I know, bring milk". When you can say what he is thinking before he even says it.
Defining Love. I wrote a poem and titled it, "what is love?" because it is one of the most difficult words to define in the English language. In my poem, all I did was ask a bunch of questions. You should read it some time and let me know what you think.
But I will tell you what I think about the word "LOVE." Since the majority of our English language comes from the Greek I will refer to the Greek language. To my knowledge, there are 3 different words in the Greek that mean love. 1. Agape 2. Philo and 3. I can't think of the third one off the top of my head :) sorry. But Agape simply means "a fellowship love." Philo means, "brotherly love" while the third one that I can't remember what the Greek word is means "exotic love" and that's the one that would refer to husband and wife.
In the English we have one word that means all these things and that is "love." We say, "I love cheeseburgers" and with the same mouth we say "I Love my boy/girlfriend." And again we say, "I love God." We don't have to try and interpret which one you love more than the other, that is implied if you know English. Does this all make sense? I hope so.
If you break up the terminology a little, it helps me understand it a little better. But the love that I believe is even more difficult is the third one that I can't remember, but it has to do with "exotic love." Loving your boy/girlfriend, or husband and wife. Because this love deals more with a feeling. Aaaand feelings are really difficult to understand. Don't get me started with that... haha!!
But, I hope this helps you a little. :)
thanks for your response. unfortunately, feelings come and go, one minute you can honestly think you're loved and in the next you can doubt everything you've built your trust on. if i knew the real definition of love i don't think it would be as exciting, but i'll know when i know the meaning. thanks again for your input. appreciate it. =]

These are sunny rooms whose huge advantage is the view from the windows: you can see the whole market Kazimierz from them. This market is very popular, because the "Jewish Music Festival" takes place here every year (perhaps some of the guests had the opportunity to watch the festival on television before).
In addition, you can admire the synagogues, museums, restaurants, pubs and nightclubs.
It is an ideal place for people who love the nightlife, and those who delight in exploring and admiring the sights. Additionally, the apartment has an exclusive, large and fully equipped kitchen and a dining room, where you can prepare all kinds of meals and feel home atmosphere with a touch of luxury.
We also offer our guests a nice and modern bathroom with a shower, sink, toilet, washing machine + dryer, hair dryer, towels and iron.

We just stay one night, and we have only positiv things to tell about this place, thank you.
Best regards from Geir and Aleksandra.
Mariusz picked us up with his car from the train station, very kind. There was a really clean room, a modern bathroom and a kitchen with good equipment. The house is nearby the city, you can reach all attractions by foot. All in all nice choice!
We had a wonderfull stay in this beautiful appertment. We arrived on sabat (saturday) and the owner arranged something so that we were able to use the appertment. It takes +/- 25 minutes walking to the old city (which is really beautiful!). The appertment was very clean and located in a nice neighboorhood.
close to Casimierz Centre, basic conveniences, pity that there is no private bathroom, helpfull hosts.
Great central location with clean rooms and toilet. The kitchenette however had a funny smell to it. But other than that it was a great stay :)
Very nice and tidy place. Perfect location in the Kazimierz district. I will come back.
The appartment was very nice and renovated. When I was here, the front door and staircase were horrible. So I was really afraid the room would look the same. But that was the complete opposite. The owner said that the front door and staircase would be renovated soon so for the next visitors I hope it's done.
Loved my stay here. Located in the Kazimierz district and close to everything! The apartment was so clean and super bright and cheerful. Had a very nice bathroom and shower. Having a small refrigerator was wonderful for breakfast things. Highly recommend the apartment. Greatly appreciated the transfer from the airport as well.
Great appartment in the Jewish quarter. Free pick-up from the airport. The square is about 20 minutes walking from the appartment. Only downside is that the appartment doesn't have good blinds or shutters. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Nice room, well furnished. It was not clear from the description that you are sharing the kitchen/apartment with other renters.

davits for hans christian
Hi I was hoping someone might have some photos and or ideas for a davit set up that can hold a 310 zodiac with a 15 hp. The yacht is a Hans Christian 38 without a push pit or wind vane. I would also like to see ways you guys have set up the pulley systems.
5 Attachment(s)
I've posted some of these pics before, so sorry to those have of you that have already seen them.
I ran my davits thru the aft deck into the floor of the lazarrette
The 4inch SS vertical pieces have a solid diaphragm inside to prevent kinking where the pass through the deck (inside nylon sleeve)
They can be rotated out of the way for heavy weather passages.
There is a take-up drum in the elbow for a 2in webbing strap.
The idea is to lift the dingy out of the water with conventional blocks/line then pass the webbing from the end of the davit where its always attached....under the dingy and the tail end into the winch drum
then crank it up until the dingy is sandwiched tight up under the davits.
Mine is a canoe stern and my dingy is also 310...out board will probably be smaller than yours.
I looked and looked for davits that fit well with the stern but didn't find any.
As you see I haven't yet rigged them up so I cant comment on how they perform.

Mission Statement
The Andy Caress Melanoma Foundation is dedicated to the prevention of melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, through awareness, education and support of research to find a cure.
Our Story
Andy Caress lost his battle with melanoma in August, 2010 at the young age of 24. In his short life, Andy accomplished so much as a college tennis player at Coastal Carolina University, an excellent student, tennis professional, role model, loving son, brother and uncle, and as a source of inspiration for many around the globe suffering from this tragic disease.
The Andy Caress Melanoma Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization. It was formed in May, 2010 by Andy Caress, originally under the name Mela-KNOW-More. It is based in Cincinnati and has volunteers all around the country.
In the early months of the organization's formation, Andy's friends and family rallied behind him and raised $10,000 for the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. Andy was proud to present the check to Dr. Patrick Hwu, his melanoma oncologist.
During his battle, Andy realized that this disease is often misunderstood by the public as an "easy" or "lucky" cancer to get. His will was to change this misconception and the foundation is keeping that dream alive.
His mission is simple: "My goal is that melanoma will never impact any person the way it has impacted me, and I will achieve my goal by educating the world about how melanoma may be prevented and identified."
The Andy Caress Melanoma Foundation carries this mission forward after his tragic death. The specific goals of the foundation are consistent with Andy's mission and include:
- Creating awareness about the seriousness of melanoma and that it affects all skin tones and races
- Educating the public about steps that can be taken to prevent melanoma
- Increasing opportunities for a cure for this deadly disease through work with leading melanoma and cancer research organizations
- "Wipe melanoma off the face of the planet" – in Andy's words
We thank you in advance for your generous support and appreciate your commitment to making Andy's goal a reality!

After coming face to face with activists who witnessed the horrors of Syria's bloody uprising first hand, Kofi Annan left the country empty-handed yesterday without a deal to end the crisis.
Before leaving Damascus, the former United Nations secretary-general held a second round of talks with President Bashar al-Assad, during which he said he had proposed an initiative which "will have a real impact on the ground".
"It's going to be difficult but we have to have hope," he said, adding that the plan to end violence and start a political dialogue would establish a "solid foundation for a democratic Syria". But his parting words came after both the Syrian regime and opposition groups rejected immediate negotiations.
President Assad said he could not countenance a political solution while "terrorist groups" were still operating against him. Syrian troops maintained the heat on opposition strongholds yesterday, shelling Homs and using tanks to bombard Idlib, the north-western city close to the Turkish border.
Opposition leaders, meanwhile, said dialogue was unthinkable while the government continued its brutal crackdown, which the UN estimates has cost 7,500 lives. "It's impossible to think about talks while the army is shelling houses," said Dr Abdel Aziz al-Khair, spokesman for the National Co-ordination Committee, an opposition group which met with Mr Annan during his visit. The former UN chief met activists from the capital to the besieged protest hub of Homs and the southern city of Deraa in a 50-minute session at the Four Seasons Hotel in Damascus.
"He is very professional and was quite careful to show no expression at all but he clearly sympathises with what he hears," said Dr Khair. "We asked him about his conclusions after meeting the Syrian officials. He said that everything was still under discussion and it was too early for conclusions."
But Mr Annan's visit was dismissed as "useless" by at least one activist in Homs. A man who called himself Abo Emad told The Independent that the former UN chief's mission "would not help".
"You can't have dialogue with someone who is killing," he said.

3.Bad Moon Rising–Creedence Clearwater Revival (John C. Fogerty)
And here you thought Bad Moon Rising was about werewolves; since when do werewolves make hurricanes blow and cause rivers to overflow? Oh, and you can just forget all about that bathroom on the right. It is gone, baby, gone!!
4.Earth Died Screaming–Tom Waits (Tom Waits)
When Tom Waits sings…
…There was thunder
There was lightning
Then the stars went out
And the moon fell from the sky
It rained mackerel
It rained trout
And the great day of wrath has come
And here's mud in your big red eye
The poker's in the fire
And the locusts take the sky
And the earth died screaming
While I lay dreaming of you…
…you know you better kiss your ass goodbye.
5.The End-The Doors (Jim Morrison)
At times, Jim Morrison was a madman and at times he was a (evil?) genius. On The End it all came together and was 'the end of our elaborate plans, of everything that stands, the end.' Chilling. I'm not even going to mention what happens to Mom and Dad. Listen and find out for yourself.
6.Eve of Destruction-Barry Maguire (P.F. Sloan)
Eve of Destruction may have been the one to set the whole gloom and doom rock genre in motion. Maguire is so mad in this song that even his blood is pissed off. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, that is downright mad.
7.It's The End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)-REM (Peter Buck, Bill Berry, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe)
It's the end of the world and it's coming at a melodic, yet breakneck, pace. Do try and keep up, won't you?
8.The Man Comes Around-Johnny Cash (John R. Cash)
There's no need to say anything. Just listen to the Man in Black.
9.(Nothing But) Flowers-The Talking Heads (David Byrne, Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth and Jerry Harrison)
First, there were factories and now there are only mountains. Rattlesnake is on the menu and Pizza Hut has gone the way of the dodo bird. Through it all David Byrne is singing so happily, joyfully.
10.Waiting For the End of the World–Elvis Costello (Elvis Costello)
Okay, so it's not the end just yet; but this Costello song lets us know what we're doing right before it happens. Sing us off this planet, Elvis! Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. Yowsa!!

Social tenants to accept bedroom tax penalty
Nearly half of social tenants who will be affected by the government's 'bedroom tax' are not prepared to move to smaller properties, research has found.
Ongoing work being carried out by Wirral Partnership Homes has found 45 per cent of its tenants who will be affected by the penalty for under-occupation will accept the reduction to benefit payments rather than moving home.
From April 2013 working age social tenants who are receiving housing benefit will see payments cut if they are deemed to be under-occupying.
WPH is in the process of contacting around 2,300 of its tenants who it thinks will be affected by the cut. So far it has spoken with 550, finding 104 are interested in moving, but 247 said they would rather accept the benefit reduction and stay put.
John Mycock, assistant director, housing, at WPH, said it is proving difficult to make some tenants aware of the potential problems.
'Until it impacts I don't think we are going to see the worst of it,' he said. 'Even if people can pay it the government is going to look hard at the other benefits that they are getting.'
However he added that even if people were prepared to move WPH would have trouble meeting their needs, due to a lack of available smaller homes.
'We can't see any way in which we can accommodate even a fraction of the people who are under-occupying,' he said.
WPH chief executive Brian Simpson has written an article for Inside Housing explaining how the organisation is working with tenants to limit the impact of welfare reform.

Listening Log: Dead Soldiers, Lucero, Jim Mize and more
Dead Soldiers
High Anxiety
It's been a busy year for Midtown Americana collective Dead Soldiers. Following the release of their debut, All the Things You Lose, and a studio collaboration with the Memphis Dawls, the band is back with a new four-song EP, which will serve as a stop-gap for a sophomore album due early next year.
The title track is a woozy, nervy number ("I've got high anxiety … so come on baby lie to me") that becomes an instant sing-along. The whistling waltz-time spookiness of "Ironclad" is invested with lyrics about how history is written by the victors ("Bound by the chains of time, some lose, some win … but someone's got to lose").
Buoyed by pretty folk guitar picking and fancy fiddle flights, "Nobody's Son" splits the difference between the sweetness of John Prine and the seediness of Tom Waits, with a story of whores, junkies and a pitiless cycle of sin. "Old Man," meanwhile, is an existentialist anthem with an elderly protagonist lamenting those he's outlived, and wondering what parts of his life were real or imagined. Dark, funny and eminently hummable, High Anxiety captures all the strengths of the Dead Soldiers in a neat little package. — Bob Mehr
The Dead Soldiers play the Hi-Tone Cafe at 9 p.m. Saturday with Birdcloud.
Live From Atlanta
(Liberty & Lament)
Live From Atlanta has all the earmarks of a specialty item: It's two CDs or four LPs of live versions of songs from across Lucero's decade-plus discography and was released, in physical form, in a small batch via the band's own Liberty & Lament imprint. It looks like something only for the band's hardcore fans and was probably even conceived as such.
The funny thing is, though: This is not only Lucero's best album, but maybe the band's most essential.
Early on, Lucero was better live than in the studio, the latter catching up with the former when the band — the core of which is Ben Nichols, Brian Venable, Roy Berry and John C. Stubblefield — took a fruitful turn toward the expansive and professional with 2006's Rebels, Rogues and Sworn Brothers via the addition of keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Rick Steff, followed soon after by a two-man horn section of Jim Spake and Scott Thompson.
Those old songs — and 12 of Live From Atlanta's 32 tracks derive from the band's first two albums, Lucero and Tennessee — sound better here than in their original versions: The woozy "I'll Just Fall" held upright with piano and horn prodding, "It Gets the Worst at Night" given a bed to sleep in.
And the new songs — modestly majestic "On My Way Downtown," boogie-woogie "Women & Work," casual soul "It May Be Too Late" — generally sound even better than that.
It's a testament to the band — now arguably unmatched in their facility with just about any strain of Southern music. And while not all the songs are good (I could never abide the love-song-to-a-guitar "My Best Girl"), it's also a testament to their deep catalog, where house standards range from early (dynamic "Nights Like These") to mid (anthemic "Tears Don't Matter Much") to late (last year's "Texas and Tennessee" might be Nichols' best song).
More than all that, it's just a pleasurable listen that holds together across more than two hours. I've been a fan of the band since before their 2000 debut, but now when I want to hear Lucero, Live From Atlanta is likely to be the record I reach for. — Chris Herrington
Jim Mize
Jim Mize
(Big Legal Mess)
As with Arkansas singer-songwriter Jim Mize's two previous efforts, 2001's No Tell Motel and 2007's Release It to the Sky, his latest album comes after a relatively long gap. But Mize's writing shows no rust across the nine tracks of this self-titled affair, where he's backed by a group of familiar Mid-South talents, including guitarists Jimbo Mathus and John Paul Keith, bassist Mark Edgar Stuart and drummer John Argroves. Together they create an empathetic and evocative backdrop for Mize's songs about hard luck losers, unrepentant boozers and all manner of lost souls.
Mize's material is clearly rooted in his day job as an insurance adjuster traveling throughout the region, collecting pictures from life's other side. In fact, his finely etched narratives fit more neatly into the red-dirt tradition of Southern literary figures like Larry Brown than any musical antecedents. And while Mize has always been masterful at conjuring a mood, there's deeper feeling to the material on this record, perhaps owing to the loss of his grown son, an Afghanistan war Army veteran who died last year. There's an exquisite regret and heartache that thread through songs like "Rabbit Hole," "Drunk Moon Falling," and the disquieting closer "Empty Rooms" that makes this one of the more affecting albums of the year. — BM
Shelby Baldock
Butch Americana
(Diamond D Records)
Local musician and filmmaker Shelby Baldock steps into the spotlight with his first solo album, an energetic and somewhat eclectic slice of Southern roots. Baldock, a drummer for various outfits, including Hope Clayburn's Soul Scrimmage, and a videographer for the North Mississippi Allstars, proves an oddly charming vocalist, with a reedy timbre that makes him come off like a hillbilly Daniel Johnston. The record, released on pal Cody Dickinson's Diamond D label, has a back story: in late 2013, Bladock received a kidney transplant, and the songs on Butch Americana were penned during the lead-up to his surgery. What might seem a particularly uncertain time personally actually translates into fairly joyous and celebratory set of songs, as on the propulsive "Years After Yesterday," the chiming dulcimer jangle of "Prolly" and the triumphant "Friends Over There." Bladock is aided by a group friends and fellow musicians including Clayburn, Khari Wynn and Michael Joyner, among others. A portion of sales of the album go to the American Kidney Fund when purchased through fandistro.com. — BM

How Do You Use Canned Oysters?
Ask the Chef
From our Ask the Chef series:
Q: I live where fresh oysters are not available. We must rely on canned ones. As a result, I have not made oyster stew for 30 years. Questions I need answered are:
1) What does it mean when it says "boiled oysters" on the can? Some cans don't have that instruction.
2) I used to buy a brand called Blue Plate which had Cove oysters. What is the difference, and do you know if you can still by blue Plate brand anywhere?
A: Canned oysters are either fresh or smoked—either way they are cooked and edible right out of the can. However, they are usually used as an ingredient, whether in a dip, a soup or chowder, a stuffing, or a casserole. Presumably the ones you are finding that say "boiled" are not smoked, which means they retain more of the original oyster flavor.
Canned oysters can usually be stored unopened for up to a year from purchase (check that expiration date). Once opened, be sure to refrigerate any unused portion and use within two days.
As for brands, we aren't familiar with Blue Plate and don't find anything in our archives so would throw it open to any readers who know the brand. If you need oyster recipes or more background on oysters, you might check out our documentary on the Gulf, complete with some great recipes from New Orleans' chefs who know their oysters. Find them in "related links" to the right.

To everyone that posted here thanks for your help. Sorry I had a mindblock on the wiring parallel thing. I could not get out of my mind that the override switch had to have 24 vac on it in addition to the 24 vac on the thermostat. Daves picture cleared that right up in a hurry. I will remove the 110 hot wire coming to the C terminal on the S350 since I am not running a circulator straight off of it, nor do I need to go through the transformer and wire exactly the way his pdf shows and I am sure it will work.
Thanks again

Many in the tech world cheered, but Jonathan Zittrain of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society says that although you can break free from jail, the doors are not necessarily open. Music Playlist Heim (Four Tet Remix) Artist: by Pole Transcript BROOKE GLADSTONE: When Congress passed the Digital Millennium Copyright Act back in 1998 to protect copyrighted material from being illegally distributed via new media, it was recognized that the law would need regular updates to keep pace with rapidly changing technology. So every three years, the Librarian of Congress reviews its provisions and issues exemptions. And this week, results of the latest review were released. The exemption that grabbed the most headlines involved smart phones. Apple had claimed that hacking your iPhone to, say, use non-Apple apps, violated the act, which may be why messing with your smart phone is called "jailbreaking." But now the Librarian of Congress has determined that jailbreakers are not subject to copyright lawsuits. Jonathan Zittrain of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society says there are plenty of reasons to jailbreak. JONATHAN ZITTRAIN: There may be all sorts of applications, including ones that go against the business model of the curator, that people would want to run. So there are people who have submitted email management programs to run on something like the iPhone, and Apple, within its rights, has said, no, we're not going to allow it on the platform because we think it competes with our own mail program on the phone. And so it may well be that as an iPhone user, you want to use something like that, and uh, jailbreaking the phone would be the way to do it. Of course, another big reason to jailbreak the phone would be to try to use a different phone services vendor, to move from AT&T, say, to Verizon or something. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Apple keeps a pretty tight hand on its applications. You can submit an idea to Apple. They can either accept it or they can refuse it. They want to create a squeaky-clean what they call "ecosystem" for their users. This would compromise that. JONATHAN ZITTRAIN: Correct. And at the moment, one of the competing phones, the Android phone, in large part sponsored and pushed by Google, is a phone that has an official app store, just kind of like the Apple Store, but you can go off-roading if you want. And one big canary in the coal mine will be, for people who use Android phones, how often do they find themselves using applications that may not have merited approval, and how often are those applications ones that turn out to be bad for them, the way that sometimes in our personal computer environment we end up running applications that we regret later. BROOKE GLADSTONE: As a practical matter, what does this decision really mean for people who have a smart phone like the iPhone? Can they hack their phone? Do they have the tools? Can grandma go to a website and double-click something that will jailbreak her phone? JONATHAN ZITTRAIN: It's still not clear. The exception just provided to allow people to hack their phones doesn't itself directly apply to trafficking in the tools that let you do the hacking you were just told you can do. So it's a little bit like being told, okay, you're allowed to chisel out a statue from this block of marble but we're not going to allow you a chisel. Even if you get the chisel, there's still the issue, especially with phones, which are constantly talking back to the mother ship to enable their usage, that you're voiding the warranty. You could see the vendor of the phone saying, well, no update for you. Your phone isn't going to work anymore. So-called "bricking" could take place, where the phone is essentially turned into a brick. This exception just allows game on. [LAUGHS] It allows the cat-and-mouse game to continue without the vendor of the phone trying to bring the courts to bear to stop you, but it doesn't mean they can't bring technology to bear. BROOKE GLADSTONE: So unless you have some programming expertise, this isn't going to help you very much. But what about symbolically? JONATHAN ZITTRAIN: I think symbolically that's where this decision makes a difference. Here is an official of the United States government declaring that the activity by which you can use the phone however you like is legally protected. And that's important. Even the terminology we use a lot – jailbreaking, hacking – these terms tend to have connotations that suggest a subversive, if not downright illegal, activity. I mean, in what other context are we happy when jailbreaking takes place? So, I see this decision symbolically as helping to refine a conversation about how much the long arm of the vendor can keep operating after a purchase has been made. And even if, say, an Apple or a Kindle or a Facebook would be entirely within its rights to try to go after you for changing the applications that you can run on their product, it may mean that they'll be more reluctant to do it because it's seen not as a terrible activity but actually as a salutary one. BROOKE GLADSTONE: And salutary because? JONATHAN ZITTRAIN: Because one of the lessons we've learned is how much we can be surprised by what those two people in a garage can do. The World Wide Web itself, instant messaging, Skype, peer-to-peer networking, each one of these things originated kind of in a corner and then could find a mainstream audience because there was no central curator to whom a business case had to be made. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Jonathan, thank you very much. JONATHAN ZITTRAIN: Thank you. BROOKE GLADSTONE: Jonathan Zittrain is Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and co-director of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society. [MUSIC/MUSIC UP AND UNDER]

Shri Anil Agarwal of Vedanta Group interacts with IMI students
The students of International Management Institute (IMI) got a rare opportunity to participate in an interaction with Anil Agarwal, Executive Chairman, Vedanta Group plc.
Padma Shri Dr. Pritam Singh, Director General of IMI commented, "We are pleased to have Mr. Agarwal with us to impart his knowledge as a man who has been romancing with limitless growth. The motivational talk by him has given an inspirational boost to budding entrepreneurs at IMI."
On the occasion, a short film, "Partners in Prosperity" on the life of Anil Agarwal and Vedanta's success story was screened for the students. Right through his talk, he emphasized on building entrepreneurial passion, taking risks and being fearless.
Guest Speaker Anil Agarwal said, "I am honoured to be invited by IMI and to contribute as a thought leader towards the students' learning. My focus was on building a managerial personality, the pursuit of excellence and exploring rather that exploiting."
Mr. Agarwal also shared his future plans to spend 70% of his time devotedly to child care and malnourishment problems and 30% for the company and its strategies. He ended the discussion on a heavy note that nothing is sure shot in life, you have to take the bull by the horns, believe what your heart says and go for it.
The students were left with the afterthought that they must take up challenges in life as that is what makes it worth living.

oilman's profile links idea is also a very good one. There's a wide variety of GOOD design to be seen by visiting member sites.
Nonetheless, a very good site to visit. Haven't looked at it in awhile myself, so I should go catch up on the latest atrocities in site design and graphics.
But then it is always good to get other people opinions as well. The two sources mentioned above are two of the best and well worth a visit. Roaming around today I found another list of Cool Sites of the Day [coolsiteoftheday.com]. Again it is very subjective, some I like, some I don't, but what IS very interesting is that the list goes waaay back to 1995. Boy! You should see what we (webmasters collectively) were doing back then. Have a wander through.

Green River hosts Eighth Grade College Exploration Day
A physics club member hammers club advisor Ajay Narayanan's hand, which is underneath a lead brick.
Green River hosted the sixth annual Washington Council for High School-College Relations Eighth Grade College Exploration Day on Monday, March 25. A total of 439 eighth graders were bussed to the Green River campus from every Auburn middle school - Mt. Baker, Rainier, Cascade, and Olympic middle schools - along with Northwood Middle School, Orting Middle School, and Mountainview Middle School from Bremerton.
The day kicked off an active physics club presentation led by the charismatic and award-winning advisor, Ajay Narayanan.
After lunch, students participated in educational games to help them start planning for life beyond high school. They learned about budgeting by playing the money game, where they identified the correlation between career choice, wages, and the type of lifestyle they hoped to live as an adult. They then had a blast playing college jeopardy, where they learned which celebrities graduated community college and what they can do in high school to prepare for college.
"[By hosting Eighth Grade College Exploration Day] we get students on campus who may not have seen themselves going to college," said Welcome Services Manager Lindsey Morris, who helped organize the event. "They have now been on Green River's beautiful campus; hopefully they'll remember the great time they had here when it comes time to select a college."

Having just come back from the shows, I can tell you with some confidence that the new black is, well, no black at all. That's right, none. Not black shoes, not a black coat. Certainly not black head to toe. From being the only colour that fashion editors wear, black has become the one colour they don't wear, at least not for daywear.
Now, I have a theory about this. Black, it seems to me, has been yet another victim of celebrity culture. What is worn on the catwalk no longer dictates what constitutes a good look. Read any magazine aimed at young women and you'll find that the Get The Look feature is more likely to be about a TV presenter's style than about a catwalk outfit. Basically, we all want to look like TV presenters - and TV presenters don't wear black because it doesn't work on screen.
But that's not the whole story. I am not seriously suggesting that Anna Wintour has stopped wearing black because she wants to look more like Cat Deeley. Catwalk fashion has also been promoting this new palette, in part because it fits with the soft-focus 1950s retro look - the pre-60s days when only weirdos wore black. The new look is not, however, all Play School brights. It's about a mix of soft almost-neutrals - chocolate, camel, olive and aubergine - and "pop" shades of lemon, pistachio and rose pink. Black shoes, or even a handbag, are best left behind (Wintour just loves a camel shoe) because the contrast kills these subtle combinations.
The exception to all this is that, for eveningwear, black will never go away. This is partly a lighting thing: black fabric glows under artificial light, yet seems somehow to soak up daylight. More importantly, when you wear a tight-fitting dress, black holds the trump card - it makes you look thinner. Some things never change.

Tools for hardwood install
I have never installed a hardwood floor before. This floor will be prefinished hickory, 3-1/4 & 4-1/4 mixed. All above grade, using AquaBar "B" underlayment on top of 23/32 T&G plywood.
Specifically, what tools would I need to acquire to do this correctly and economically? I have a total of 1100 sq ft that will get installed over a period of several months, room by room, and will probably never do this again.
A pneumatic flooring nailer or stapler, an air compressor and hose, a multi-tool for cutting door jambs and casings. A tape measure, a square, a set of scribes, a circular saw. It would be nice to have a table saw for any long rip cuts, but you can do those with your circular saw if you're good. And a jig jaw comes in handy for odd cuts. And a bunch of assorted hand tools. Hammer, screw driver, knee pads, chalk line...............
You can rent the nailer and compressor, but it wouldn't make much sense if it's going to take you months.
Maul to drive them together and a 2 X 4 to use as a tapping block.
I would imagine with hickory that I would use cleat nails rather than staples, correct? If so, any particular recommendations? For someone doing a house, is there any functional difference between a $150 nailer and a $500 one?
Speaking of compressor, I have a small pancake compressor that is fine for running a brad nailer or filling car tires. Am I correct in assuming that it would not be suitable for running a nailer, or am I wrong and that it will just go slower with a smaller compressor?
I figure that I'd need a pull block, knee pads, tapping block, and rubber mallet for fitting the boards together. Would a short piece of flooring make a good tapping block, to protect the tongue from damage?
For cross cuts, I have a power miter saw. I am borrowing a flooring saw for rips. My first room is just a sunk rectangle, so I don't have door casings to deal with yet, but when I do I was figuring on using a pull saw with a scrap flooring piece for spacing.
For face nailing my first couple rows, am I better off pre-drilling and using a regular hammer and set, or should I use a brad nailer? I will practice both on scrap, but I was wondering if someone had experience to share. Oh, and of course I plan to use eye protection (should use hearing protection when using saws, too, but in truth I often forget).
I will add an item to the list. A floor jack will come in very handy for pulling the boards together. Harbor Freight sells a cheap yet decent one. Also, your compressor should work just fine. Their is a difference in a cheap nailer vs a good one, but if you are just doing this one job one of the cheap ones will make it through it. Another option might be to look for a used one on craigslist. We have actually bought a few of ours from homeowners who bough one just to do their floor. So they were very gently used, yet much cheaper than new.
Home Depot also rents them.

Date of Stay: July, 2013
Excellent RV Park for anyone looking for short, mid, or long term parking. Owners live on site and are constantly improving the facilities. Residents are very friendly and it quickly becomes a family atmosphere. On site laundry, exercise room, clean bathrooms, and lake access. Also, it has fenced in pet exercise area, covered parking available, and paved roads. It's convenient to grocery and restaurants. All this within 15 minutes of Tyler where there is abundant shopping, museums, and activities. I stayed there for almost a year and half, and would return without hesitation.
Date of Stay: October, 2006
Sites fairly level however gravel roads generate dust. Seems to be more of permanent RV park not catering to overnight stays. Although I stayed several weeks, the water hydrant leaked constantly. The manager was notified twice for water leak to be repaired but seemed not to be interested, in fact it was never fixed. Wi-Fi was said to work but after paying for site I found out it does not. Management was not concerned about that either. Close to busy strip center makes for noise. Bath house just so-so. Although most everything could be overlooked if management was interested in customer service. Don't recommend anyone else spending their money here, I won't be back!

Moving in with a partner
Money issues can mean stress for your relationship, so it's important you agree how to manage your joint finances with your partner before you move in together. As with any relationship, communication from the outset is key!
Getting to know each other's financial habits
When you move in with your partner, you both need to decide how to pay for your shared expenses such as your mortgage or rent and bills. Take into account each other's incomes and general financial situation. The key is to come up with an arrangement that suits and seems fair to both of you. Also, discuss how you will keep track of your joint finances, and who has responsibility for what.
Managing your day-to-day finances
Discuss and agree how you will pay for shared expenses - you could each pay your own share, or use a joint account and make contributions to it.
Use our budget planner to get you started. It will help you work out what income you have available and what changes you may need to make to take account of your new living arrangements. It's important that both of you understand how much you can afford to spend, so that you don't end up bearing the cost of the other's overspending.
If you have a joint account, under the Central Bank's Consumer Protection Code your account provider must inform you of any risks in having a joint account and find out if you want to put limits on your joint account. For example, you could request that both of your signatures are needed to make a withdrawal from the account. You could also agree to only transfer in a certain amount of money every month.
Use our budget planner to get you started. It will help you work out what income you have available and what changes you may need to make to take account of your new living arrangements. It's important that both of you understand how much you can afford to spend, so that you don't end up bearing the cost of the other's overspending.
Decide your saving and investment goals
Discuss your common savings goals. For example, you may want to save for a house deposit or for your wedding or just for a rainy day. Consider the impact certain decisions may have on other goals. For example, if you want to save for a deposit on a house can you afford to do this while paying your current rent? You may also want to consider setting up a joint savings account and pooling your savings, which may give you better returns on lump sum deposit accounts or savings accounts.
Decide what (if any) investment risks you are willing to take and discuss your concerns together.
Think about how you would cope if you were to become ill or unable to work
One option, if you can afford to save, is to set up an 'emergency fund'. Aim to build up at least three months salary. There are other types of insurance products such as income protection, serious illness or mortgage repayment protection which can help you prepare for the unexpected.
Protecting your property
If you are renting, you may want to consider getting contents insurance to protect your personal items from theft or damage. Use our home insurance shopping around checklist (PDF) to help you ask the right questions so you get the best deal on your contents insurance.
If you are buying a home together, there are many things to consider
Use our mortgage calculator to help you work out your repayments, how much they cost and if you can afford them. Before you buy, consider the consequences if things don't work out and get independent legal advice if you are buying with your partner. If you have any financial concerns about relationship break-ups see our information on separation and divorce.

I gotta blame somebody for this....might as well be QKS and his most informative thread on ARs for Dummies.....like a few others, I downloaded ever bit of how-to and lo and behold if there wasn't a gun show last weekend to do some pricing! Since it was forecast to rain, I figured I couldn't be constructive at home so might as well head fer tha show ! Yahoo !!!! I looked at uppers, lowers, slings, sights, flash sups, you name, if it was an AR component, I browsed it. Well all was goin good til I started adding up all the parts.....geesh, they were selling complete ARs cheaper than I could build one.
I succumbed to the temptation.... wound up buying a DPMS AR in 6.8mm. Yeah, I know, the ammo is 3 times the cost of 5.56/.223, but I looked at it this way: I don't ever go to the range and just see how many rounds I can fire through my gun. I try improve accuracy and speed, with a lot more emphasis on accuracy. So, I don't plan on a 1000 rd day at the range with an AR. Most likely it'll be less than a 100 rd (then I trot to the pistol range side). Anyway, it looks good, feels good, I sure hope it shoots good !
