Mutual fund reviews at freefincal primarily serve as an advertisement for RIY (review it yourself) with available risk-return analysis tools.
This time, let us look at Mirae Asset India Opportunities Fund (MAIOF) - large and mid-cap fund
Mirae asset has only two equity funds. The other fund is a mid and small-cap fund (emerging blue chip)
Although MAIOF has the flexibility to invest across "across sectors, themes, styles and market caps", I think it is primarily a large cap fund with decent mid-cap exposure. However, it can invest up to 50% in derivatives to hedge risk.
Its investment strategy is a mix of
- core-approach - good stocks held for a long time
- tactical approach - stocks held for short-term depending on market conditions.
The following results are auto-generated from:
Year on Year Mutual Fund Risk Return Analyzer
Return analysis (click to enlarge)
obviously that is pretty good outperformance.
Risk-return score
A consistently high risk-return score is impressive.
Capture ratio
Capture ratio = Upside capture/Downside capure
Upside capture is the geometric average of daily fund returns when the index returns are positive. Higher the better.
Downside capture is the geometric average of daily fund returns when the index returns are negative. Lower the better.
Higher the capture ratio, better the returns on risk adjusted basis.
The funds capture ratio is more volatile, but higher than its benchmark.
Verdict: Mirae Asset India Opportunities Fund has impressed since inception. Decent choice for new comers and can be used a lone portfolio fund (assuming the large cap orientation does not change). Older investors must evaluate the nature of their existing funds before considering this one.

Hi, I'm a fan of some of the Gundam series but I haven't seen very much. I just came on AnimeSuki and saw Turn A Gundam and was like "What! No way...how? that's years old"
So, there's my question, isn't it licensed? Doesn't AnimeSuki only support unlicensed anime?

As for the mecha designs, to be fair, while the Turn A looks ugly, the same guy did WaDom and Turn X Gundam, easily two of the coolest mecha ever concieved. The SUMOs aren't bad either. Mind you, Syd Mead has actually done some Gundam designs int he past (traditional looking Gundams at that), and is easily the best scifi artists in history (with blade runner under his belt!). Don't get to mad over one awkward design.
Most of the other mecha thant he ones I mentioned though are actually done by a variety of designers, including Kunio Ookawara. In fact, one very cool thing is if you watch closely int his series, you will see a lot of "easter egg" designs from past Gundams, including a castle that was once a UC spaceship. (much later int he show). Zakus and Kapools also show up prominently in this.
Personally, this is by far my favorite Gundam series, and I encourage people not to be put off by its odd stylistic approach.

by far the best AU Gundam series imo (or is it considered part of the UC? it's confusing, anyway it's one of the best overall Gundam series), and I love the unorthodoxical mech design, especially Turn X

Well I dont think you are a hard core gundam fan as i think you only like cool
mecha action.Turn A is actually Tomino's(creator of gundam) greatest work after he came out of his depression and you know, he is actually disgusted at how seed and wing went.The true meaning of gundam is not the mecha but the story of how wars affect people.Turn A fits the category and more with one of the best stories i have seen.Actually I personally think Turn A gundam is one of the best looking gundams yet.
Ps.If you guys are impressed with the battles now the future battles are more interesting as Rolan comes up with inventive ways to use Turn A.

This supposed "as a Gundam fan I hate Turn-a" thing reminds me of how many Star Trek fans never gave Deep Space Nine a chance because it was different (Set on a space station not a ship, more arc-based story) and how IMO out of all the Star Trek's DS9 is the best and it's still considered the black sheep of the family by a lot of trek people.

There's also the fact that DS9's plot was very reminiscent of a certain other...much smaller budgeted scifi show..........

I'm currently watching Mobile Suit Gundam right now, and damn hell, I can confidently say that it's probably the best Gundam series I've seen so far. As usual, it also has the problematic teenager, but at least it doesn't take an entire season for him to start growing up.
If the flavor of Turn A is closer to this than to Wing's or Seed's, then I could be in for a great ride.

And just to be sure, Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed and Gundam X are not real gundam serie, well not in my opinion at least.
And the story is far from being a genius story like most of you seems to think. I liked alot more that dark Gundam Victory or the military atmosphere of the original Gundam than how they try to pull it off in Turn A. I still consider it like a Gundam serie tough so it should be enough. But a medium story with crappy mech design just doesnt cut it.

The story start with Loran, Keith and Fran Doll on the mission to infiltrate earth and try to blend into the society. Their mission was to obeserve for 2 years and then the Moon Race will start migrating to earth.
This is in a way, just like back in the day when Europe were on the age of world exploration. The moonrace think they are far more advance than the native in technology and surely the native will recognize that and will give in to their demand to settle into earth. But they didn't expect the native despite their low tech decide to put resistance. Just like when European arrived in America continent and met the Indian.
The intial contact between the Diana Counter and the Militia was pretty much what human usually do when they encounter an unknown race, shoot first, talk later. ^^;;
Loran despite his age is very responsible person and he was protecting Sochie when the Diana Counter arrived. He was torn what to do since he's a Moonrace and loyal to Diana sama but he likes Earth too and just cannot abandon them.

Now that Sunday's deadline to reach a deal on a new Safe Harbor framework between the United States and European Union has come and gone, the question for many companies is what, if anything, they are going to about it.
American and European negotiators, meanwhile, continue to work on an agreement before European regulators issue a ruling on how data can be shared, which is expected on Wednesday.
Safe Harbor was a framework of principles regarding opt-in/opt-out, onward transfer of data to third parties, security, use, access, and compliance that had been in place since 1998. It allowed U.S.-based companies to transfer data about their European customers, regardless of which country they were in, to the United States, provided that they followed the guidelines set out in the framework.
On October 6, 2015, the European Court of Justice, fearful that U.S. law does not adequately protect the privacy of EU citizens, declared Safe Harbor invalid. Representatives from the United States and the European Union had until Sunday to come up to a compromise agreement that would have allowed the program to continue. Basically, if a company abides by Safe Harbor, it can avoid adhering to the patchwork of privacy laws, regulations, and directives form each of the EU's 28-member countries.
Fortunately, for most companies doing business in the EU, Safe Harbor is a non-issue. This also holds true for U.S.-based companies doing business with the Swiss, since there is a separate Safe Harbor framework in place for Switzerland. Also, if a company is not subject the jurisdiction of the Federal Trade Commission or the Department of Transportation, then Safe Harbor doesn't apply, either.
For these companies – and most of the companies doing business in Europe, it turns out – model contracts are the preferred method of securing data transfer rights, said Carsten Casper, a managing vice president at Gartner. Model contracts (also called standard contracts or model clauses) are standard contractual clauses that U.S.-based companies can use to transfer data out of the EU. They are binding, legally enforceable, and cannot be modified. Companies have to adopt them as written by the European Council and the European Parliament.
"Most companies have been using model contracts anyway. Tens of thousands of companies are using standard contractual clauses," said Casper, an attorney who has been working with these issues since the days of the PATRIOT ACT in the 2000s. "What happens now … is those companies that have been relying on Safe Harbor; they are now shifting to model contracts.;

|Bruins trade Jordan Caron, sixth-round pick to Avalanche for Max Talbot, Paul Carey
|03.02.15 at 3:41 pm ET
The Bruins and Avalanche traded bottom-six forwards just prior to Monday's trade deadline, as the B's sent Jordan Caron and a sixth-round pick to Colorado for Max Talbot and Weymouth native Paul Carey.
According to a source, the deal was struck just prior to Monday's 3 p.m. cutoff.
Talbot, the biggest piece of the deal, is signed through next season and carries a $1.75 million cap hit, though the Avalanche retained half of the 31-year-old's salary in the deal. As such, the Bruins will only be charged $875,000 against the cap for him.
Peter Chiarelli said following the trade deadline that the Bruins' intention for Talbot is to give them more options in their lineup given the young players they have been using of late. Caron and Brian Ferlin had served as wingers on the fourth line, with Chris Kelly centering the line in Gregory Campbell's absence.
Campbell has been out since last week with an upper-body injury, with Chiarelli saying the veteran center is very close to returning to the lineup. The general manager noted that Talbot can play any forward position.
In 11 games for Boston this season, Caron had no points. In 134 career NHL games, all with the Bruins, Caron has 12 goals and 16 assists for 28 points. The most he played in an NHL season came in 2011-12, when he had seven goals and eight helpers for 15 assists in 48 games.
The Bruins drafted Caron with the 25th overall pick of the 2009 draft.
Carey, 26, played college hockey at Boston College and was drafted in the fifth round of the 2007 draft.
|Jordan Caron could be in Bruins lineup vs. Kings
|01.31.15 at 12:01 pm ET
It appears the Bruins will stick with their top three lines from Thursdays game when they host the Kings Saturday night, but another lineup change could be in the works.
Jordan Caron skated on the right wing of Gregory Campbell and Daniel Paille in the fourth line's first line rush in morning skate, suggesting he could be in the lineup over Craig Cunningham. Claude Julien would not confirm whether Caron would play, but did note the team was making game-time decisions with its lineup.
Caron played recently against the Blue Jackets and Stars during Brad Marchand's two-game suspension.
Tuukka Rask will start for the Bruins. Malcolm Subban's first NHL game will be served as a backup.
The lineup in morning skate was as follows:
Saturday will mark Tuukka Rask's eighth consecutive start. He has allowed two goals or fewer in six of his last seven games entering Saturday.
|Zdeno Chara begins skating, Bruins announce recalls of David Pastrnak, Jordan Caron
|11.24.14 at 10:17 am ET
Zdeno Chara was spotted on the ice at TD Garden by Steve Conroy of the Boston Herald Monday morning, marking the first time the Bruins captain has been seen skating since being declared out with a torn PCL suffered last month.
Chara is four and a half weeks into what the Bruins said would be a 4-6 week recovery. He is one of three defensemen currently out for the Bruins, as Adam McQuaid is expected to miss 5-7 more weeks with a broken thumb and David Warsofsky is nursing a groin strain. Warsofsky was playing in Boston as an injury replacement.
The Bruins also announced the call-ups of David Pastrnak and Jordan Caron Monday morning. Both transactions were made Sunday. For more on the recall of Pastrnak, click here.

|Bruins recall David Pastrnak, Jordan Caron
|11.23.14 at 6:21 pm ET
The David Pastrnak era will soon begin in Boston, as WEEI.com has learned the B's will recall the right wing prior to Monday's game against the Penguins. The news was first reported by Kirk Luedeke of the New England Hockey Journal.
Pastrnak, the Bruins' first-round pick (25th overall) in June's draft, has been in Providence all season. He has five goals and 13 assists for 18 points this season in 17 AHL games. His callup comes with the Bruins battling multiple injuries on offense, as David Krejci, Brad Marchand and Chris Kelly all missed Saturday's game against the Canadiens.
The 18-year-old has skated mostly on Providence's top line this season. He was named the AHL's Rookie of the Month in October, his first professional month in North America.
The Bruins sent Jordan Caron and Matt Lindblad, both of whom were recalled for Saturday's game against the Canadiens, back to Providence Sunday, though the AHL transactions page indicated at the time that Pastrnak was officially recalled that Boston had recalled Caron once again.

|Bruins sign Simon Gagne to 1-year contract
|10.14.14 at 11:09 am ET
The Bruins signed veteran forward Simon Gagne to a one-year, $600,000 contract Tuesday. In corresponding moves, the team sent Jordan Caron to Providence and put Bobby Robins on waivers with the intentions of sending him to Providence.
Gagne, 34, did not play last season and was brought into camp on a tryout by the Bruins. In 38 games in the lockout-shortened 2013 season, he had five goals and six assists for 11 points.
The Bruins have a few options with where they can play Gagne. The team's fourth-line is far from solidified, as Tuesday's moves make it three players who have played on the fourth line this season and have been sent down (Caron, Robins and Craig Cunningham). The left-shooting Gagne could serve as either a left or right wing on the line.
In Tuesday's practice, Gagne was on the fourth line with Daniel Paille and Ryan Spooner.
Depending on how the Bruins feel about their other options, they could also play him on David Krejci's line with Milan Lucic. Seth Griffith played right wing with the pair on Monday. The team could also try Gagne, a former 40-goal-scorer who hasn't scored more than 17 goals in a season since 2009-10, on one of their power play units.

|Jordan Caron sent to Providence as Bruins set roster (for now)
|10.07.14 at 6:02 pm ET
The Bruins made multiple moves to trim their roster to 23 players prior to Tuesday's 5 p.m. deadline, but general manager Peter Chiarelli cautioned beforehand that the moves made Tuesday might reflect a different roster than the one that takes the ice Wednesday against the Flyers when the regular season begins.
As Chiarelli said, the team would be doing some "roster manipulation" in order to get as much cap space as possible from using the long-term injury exception to the upper limit of the cap.
The moves included assigning Jordan Caron to Providence, recalling Brian Ferlin and Malcolm Subban from Providence, placing David Krejci on injured reserve, placing Marc Savard on long term injured reserve and putting Gregory Campbell and Anthony Camara on non-roster injured reserve.
The team had sent David Pastrnak to Providence earlier in the day.
That leaves the following roster, which, again, will probably be different from Wednesday's:
FORWARDS (13): Patrice Bergeron, Craig Cunningham, Loui Eriksson, Brian Ferlin, Matt Fraser, Chris Kelly, Milan Lucic, Brad Marchand, Daniel Paille, Bobby Robins, Reilly Smith, Carl Soderberg, Ryan Spooner
DEFNESEMEN (7): Matt Bartkowski, Zdeno Chara, Dougie Hamilton, Torey Krug, Adam McQuaid, Kevan Miller, Dennis Seidenberg
GOALTENDERS (3): Tuukka Rask, Malcolm Subban, Niklas Svedberg
|Bruins place Jordan Caron, David Warsofsky and Craig Cunningham on waivers
|10.04.14 at 1:29 pm ET
The Bruins placed Jordan Caron, David Warsofsky and Craig Cunningham on waivers Saturday.
Teams will now have 24 hours to claim the players. The Bruins noted in a press release that Warsofsky was waived with the intention of being sent to Providence.
The most notable name of the bunch is Jordan Caron, the team's first-round pick in 2009. In 123 regular-season games, Caron has 12 goals and 16 assists for 28 points. He also has played in nine postseason games, with one goal.
Warsofsky, a native of Marshfield who played college hockey at Boston University, is a decent candidate to be claimed by another team, as he is an NHL-ready defenseman whose offensive play makes him a valuable power play asset. He told WEEI.com this week that though he wants to remain in the Bruins' organization, his goal is to be an NHL player.
"If I'm going to be in the AHL, I'd rather be in Providence than any other city," Warsofsky said. "I'm comfortable down there with the coaching staff, the organization and the way they play. It's a great city to be in if I am in the AHL, but obviously my goal is to play in the NHL, so the first opportunity, I want it to be here, but if it is somewhere else, it's part of the business."
Cunningham was vying for a job as a fourth-line center or 13th forward after playing the last three seasons in Providence.

See's Candies, a San Francisco-based candy manufacturer, has opened a store at Mayfair.
The business is best known for its assorted boxed chocolates, but it offers more than 100 varieties of candy, including nuts, brittles and lollipops. The shop occupies a spot on the lower level of the mall, next to Five Guys Burger & Fries.
See's Candies will celebrate its grand opening Friday with samples to taste as well as historic delivery vehicles - the candy company got its start in 1921 - and See's drag-racing vehicles on display.
See's has operated kiosks in the Milwaukee region, but this is its first store in Wisconsin. Hoping to get a piece of the Valentine's Day market, the store will offer extended hours of 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Feb. 13 and 14.

Part of the roof of the St Gotthard tunnel has collapsed, burying some of the 100 cars and 15 trucks that were trapped when two lorries collided.
The fire has finally been extinguished with up to 128 people still reported missing, although police say this figure has been inflated by anxious friends and relatives ringing more than one emergency service. However, rescuers, who have confirmed 14 dead, believe the final tally could be up to 40 when they reach the tangled mass of red hot wreckage at the centre of the blaze.
So far, firefighters have glimpsed the heart of the Alpine tunnel inferno only via remote-control video.
A spokesman for the emergency service said: "It is acutely dangerous, the ceiling at the central point of the disaster has collapsed. The fire is now out but the heat makes it almost impossible to carry out our rescue work."
Officials say the bodies of other victims could lie among charred and crushed vehicles at the heart of the disaster about a mile from the southern end of the Gotthard tunnel.
Several of those who died collapsed only yards from safety after succumbing to smoke inhalation. At least one lorry driver was able to use his mobile phone to tell his family of the horror before he too was overcome by poisonous tyre smoke.
Switzerland's president, Moritz Leuenberger, said after visiting the town of Airolo at the southern exit: "It is a true vision of hell."
Today rescue officials said the primary goal was now to shore up the tunnel's roof so that it was safe enough to reach the scene of the accident.
Rescuers fought through the early hours of today to free wreckage and hunt for bodies in the tunnel, one of the busiest routes across the Alps.
The tragedy was compounded yesterday by two more trucks crashing outside another Alpine tunnel, the St Bernhard, killing one person and clogging roads heading for the Swiss border for miles. One of the vehicles involved was British-registered although it is not known if the driver - who collided with a minibus at the entrance of the tunnel and was killed instantly - was a UK national.
The Gotthard fire started on Wednesday after two lorries collided head on. It is believed one of them suffered a burst tyre forcing it to veer in front of the other.
As the lorries exploded inside the tunnel - which is used by more than a million lorries a year - the blaze spread to the cargo of tyres being carried by one of the vehicles, clogging the tunnel with smoke and making rescue efforts dangerous.
Most of the vehicles inside the tunnel managed to reverse out, including a coach.
Amazingly, the driver of the tyre truck, Bruno Saba, an Italian, survived and is today being treated for smoke inhalation in hospital.
He managed to warn other drivers about the crash.
Firefighters tried three times to approach the scene but were forced back by the heat. Water cannon were used to cool down the tunnel. Today the smell of burning rubber continues to hang over the tunnel and temperatures remain at more than 500C, making it impossible to reach the crash site.
Police official Mario Mora said: "During the night we made three attempts to approach the place of the crash, all in vain."
So far, four Germans, one French, an Italian, a Swiss and a driver from Luxembourg have been identified as victims. Most were found on the road outside their cars, indicating that they had been trying to flee when they died.
The Italian victim was 38-year-old Rosario Caggiano, who was on the third day of a new job with a truck firm and whose wife Rosa is expecting their third child.
Today Mr Caggiano's cousin Mario Pennella described how the driver had made a frantic call to his firm.
He said: "They had a call from Rosario inside the tunnel saying that all the traffic was stopped.
"He was saying that there must have been an accident and then he said all he could see was smoke and flames. He started shouting for help and then the line went dead."
He added: "When Rosa heard the news she was distraught - who knows if the baby will even be born now."
Built in 1980, the 10.6-mile long St Gotthard had the reputation of being one of Europe's safest Alpine tunnels and was checked following the 1999 Mont Blanc fire that claimed 40 lives.
It has an emergency pedestrian tunnel with its own supply and lighting, and emergency exits are situated every 300 metres.
Adjacent to the tunnel are special refuges, which can accommodate 70 people in safety if a fire breaks out.

And The Cat Came Back, The Very Next Day...
Original Author: Krulltar
The mountain rumbled and shook as Ana Cristina fiddled at the controls of the gigantic console.
"Hurry up, Ana" screamed John Perkins from behind the wheel the Yodaoncrack's hotwired Volkswagen bus.
"Overloading the nuclear core that powers this mountain fortress isn't as easy as it looks"
"Krulltar can only distract them so long, we gots to go, babe."
Ana slammed her fist on the console and pointed her long narrow finger at John. "Listen. I need a second to figure out the last sequence. So shut up, or I'll slap you so hard all your ellipses will become ordinary periods. Ok, Pumpkin?"
"Man, somebody's sure has gotten snippy since being cut in half"
Ana eyes flared as she glared at John.
"I'm just saying" John added.
An earthshaking belch echoed through the caves under the mountain as the Ana released the last plutonium rod into the core. Ana jumped into the van as John frantically drove through the winding caves. The mountain's nuclear core began to imploded on it's self.

27 E-W sites and 2 full hookups on lake shore. On an excellent fishing lake with many permanents. Very well maintained, neat park with some monster pull thrus with E-W only. Just two full hookup back in sites. Friendly check in and manager lives on site. Very quiet with good access. A little off the beaten path but I would stay here again. - run2

Be aware that you pull off the ramp when traveling north/ west and its almost an immediate turn into campgrounds. Great little campgrounds for overnight or a short stay. Very clean, well set up for pull thru site- no sewer hook up but dump station is available. Great view and fresh air. We stayed overnight. Staff courteous and very friendly. - witchey1

Excellent choice if you're working your way west/east across the prairie as its just off Interstate 94. Most of the sites are pull-through facing the lakes. Pelican Lake, an EXCELLENT CHOICE for birders, is located within a mile. Not much for shopping except a small, local grocery store. - Tessa & Toadee on the Road
Sep 2015 - $30.00
We all read into reviews; I did. I read the reviews and the frequent reference to the beautiful lakes and assumed that they were accessible. Not! The park is on very high ground that drops away sharply giving a commanding view of the countryside including Pelican Lake. It is very big, quite pretty and more than 1/4mi away with no access. Enjoy the view.
This is a very small park: 14 rv sites, the first six with sewer, and 10 tent sites. More interesting the rv sites alternate pull-through and back-in and share a pedestal breaker box in pairs. All power is 30amp. The paired rv's are very close.
Wi-Fi was difficult to get started, then fine. Antenna TV pulled in a lot.
The bathrooms were not fancy, but were fresh and clean. Shower was hot with a lot of force. There is no laundry.
The owners are very pleasant and helpful and keep a clean and well maintained park. Not much to do in the area, but a nice place to stop. Be careful, it is right next to the I94 exit, within 500'. A big berm cuts down on hi way noise
$30.00 is a little pricey for this simple, basic park and the pet fee is just not right. $2.00 per dog, per day is just a money maker, there are no pet facilities. What are we paying for? Our dog, like most rv dogs, is very scheduled. I have to pickup after her twice a day. So I am paying them $2.00 a day for the privilege of cleaning up after my dog. RV'ers with more than one dog, staying a couple of days could be paying a lot. It would be better if this was a deposit to be returned if no dog mess was found. - Jack B

This campground has great potential. Good views of Pebble Lake and lots of wide open spaces. There is a separate area for tents and RVs. All sites can accommodate any size RV. The town of Fergus Falls is about 3 miles away. The main road into the campground and all of the sites are on packed gravel. All sites are back-in. None of the sites are level, some worse then others. The electrical box is shared between two sites. Within each utility box there are one 30-amp and four 20-amp outlets. The water spigots on most sites are located way in the back. You would probably need at least 50 feet of hose to reach the faucet. There are only two vault toilets for the entire campground. These toilets were probably designated for the bike trail head (Central Lakes Bike Trail). Wi-Fi, cable, showers, and a dump station are not available in this campground. Only one interior street light was working. The fee box is located at the entrance to the campground – no camp host on duty. Verizon air card and cell phone worked well here. No reservations so it's first come – first served. It was very quiet at night. We would definitely come back here if we were in the area. We have a 32 foot rig. - adsaxs

On Thursday before Labor Day we were looking for somewhere to stay over the long weekend and found this park on RV Park Reviews. We called and were told that the park is first-come, first-served and that it was unlikely to be full on a weekday. We arrived mid-afternoon and picked site 8, probably the best site of the 14 electric sites, with good shade. By Friday evening, the electric sites were all taken. As good luck would have it, the other camper using the shared power pedestal only used a 20 amp connection, so we could use the 30 amp connection. The park is located right on the 55 mile Central Lakes paved rail-trail so that was convenient for us on our bikes. Also, the annual steam threshers' reunion at Rollag was only 50 miles away and is definitely worth a day or more. Electric sites are mostly back in. Although a big rig could fit in here, there may not be room for it plus a towed on the site. We saw a newspaper article indicating that the city will likely improve the park with proper restrooms (instead of pit privies), improved electrical service, and a dump station (none here now). We'd definitely stay here again due to the good bicycling opportunities. - Jay Rutherford

Beautiful city park. Not really "waterfront" sites but we camped up the hill from the lake. Nice view of the lake, only a park road and grass between us and the lake. Nice boat launch available. Very quiet when we were here. Access is past city play fields and bike/hike trail. Lots of nice looking tent sites. Most sites are relatively short. We camped here in a 31-foot RV. Backed up past the gravel pad onto the grass and were able to park truck in line with the rig. Hookups were at the rear of site. Overall a very nice experience. - SandyBBB

Peaceful atmosphere with numerous shade trees. Our gravel campsite overlooked a small pond. Courteous staff. Picnic tables. Fire rings. Full hook-up. However, the one inconvenience was Wi-Fi. You have to walk to the picnic tables in the lower campsites (closest to the office) to get a signal. Other than than it is a lovely campground. We'll definitely visit again. - 2_Alaskans

The camp sites are generously spaced and there is a lot of grassy area between the sites. We were in site A and it was very level. The lady in the office was very friendly and helpful. The only downside was that the Wi-Fi was too weak to hold the signal. We would definitely stay here again. - jconnally
Aug 2016 - $39.00
Stayed here for one night on our way home from out west. The women who worked in the office were super friendly and helpful. You can tell that everyone takes pride in the place, and doing a good job. We were here on a Friday night, and it was full. I was afraid it might be noisy, as there were lots of very young kids. Thankfully it quieted right down once it got dark. It looks like alot of local families camp here, as there are plenty of activities the campground plans, as well as a small pool. It wasn't heated, so we didn't use it.
Our site was plenty long enough for our motor home and my car. We had an escort to our site, which was very nice. The campground is on a fairly busy road, so I imagine sites near the road wouldn't be very peaceful. Thankfully our site was at the very back, so it was nice and quiet.
If in the area, I would definitely return, and would recommend to others as well. - fly girl

Pre-Opening Wheat Market Report
December wheat was up 10 cents late in the overnight session. Outside market forces look positive today with weakness in the US dollar and strength in energy and equity markets. The rainy outlook for the southern plains and bearish outside market forces were enough to pressure the wheat market yesterday. Open interest is up by nearly 20,000 contracts in the last month, as fund traders have built a hefty net short position, according to the COT reports. This leaves the market vulnerable to short covering if resistance levels are violated. European milling wheat futures were higher overnight, and this lent support, but other short term news is slow. Iraq is tendering to buy at least 50,000 tonnes of wheat. Egyptian officials have indicated that they have 2.8 million tonnes of wheat in storage, which is close to a 4-month supply. December wheat saw its lowest close since June 30, 2010 yesterday and saw almost exactly the same range as Monday. An improved weather outlook plus continued macroeconomic concern,s which pressured commodity markets in general, helped to pressure wheat. Another run higher in the US dollar and weakness in energy and equity markets helped to pressure the market early, and the selling intensified into the mid-session. The surge in the US dollar makes US wheat even less competitive than other key exporters, and this helped spark some selling. In addition to outside market forces, talk of more rain in the forecast into and during this weekend for the central and southern plains helped to pressure prices. Weather models are showing 1-2 inches possible in many of the southern plains wheat growing areas, and this could help boost planting progress. The Canadian production update yesterday was a slightly supportive factor, as all wheat production was pegged at 24.2 million tonnes, which was up 4.3% from last year but down from trade expectations near 24.4 million tonnes.

"Finally." Natalie thought to herself. "Home". At last she had finished her project she had been doing all day. The doors to the science library opened at her approach, letting in a wave of cold evening air. She shivered, did up her coat, and began to walk across the car park. It was just starting to get dark; she should have started to head home a little earlier. There was only one figure walking ahead of her; apart from that the university was pretty much deserted. Somewhere, a cat meowed. The figure suddenly stopped and turned around. Some part of her wondered if she was being silly, but for some reason she instinctively hid behind a car. Slowly, she peered out from her hiding place.
It was still a relatively light twilight, so she could see the person's face. In fact, she kind of knew the guy. He was in her maths class. Zack? Was that his name? Truth be told she had a small crush on the guy; he was cute, though he seemed really quiet. She thought about getting back up, but then he would see her, and then she would probably have to say hi to him, and it would all be awkward. So she stayed hidden.
She saw Zack look around, before kneeling down to the ground. He made a meowing sound, and the cat she heard earlier came trotting over. It was the cutest thing she had seen all day- she loved animals, and she had never seen a cat in the university before; it must have been lost. He took a glove off his hand. It suddenly occurred to her that he was always wearing gloves. Even in the summer she had never seen his hands. Maybe he had some kind of burn scars or something, though she couldn't see anything wrong with his hands as he began patting the cat. Then, he picked it up in his arms and began carrying it in a slightly different direction to where he had been going. What was he doing with this cat?! Her mind leaped to horrible conclusions, but Zack really didn't look like a nasty person. She decided to follow him; it was still pretty light.
She hung back a bit, but for quarter of an hour she followed him until he came to a stop outside a house. He put the cat on the ground, patted it, and took a few steps back. The cat began to walk up to the house, then turned around, meowed as if in thanks, and disappeared into the property. Zack continued walking up the street.
When he was out of sight, Natalie stood up and walked over to the house. She was surprised to recognise it; one of her friend's friends lived here. Kate was her name, and Natalie had been to her flat warming. She suddenly recalled a conversation she had had with her a week earlier about how their flat had just got a cat. Natalie had been so jealous because her landlord didn't allow pets. She didn't actually know the girl who lived her well enough to knock on her door uninvited, and it was getting dark, so she decided to start running home. As she was running, she pulled out her phone, wondering if she had Kate's number. She didn't, but she knew she had added her on Facebook.
The investigation started as soon as she got home. Natalie went straight to her computer, and was excited to see that she was online. Natalie made a little small talk, before asking the question.
"Hey funny question but do you or your flatmates know a guy named Zack? Cute, kind of tall, short dark hair?"
"Nah, none of us know anyone called Zack. How come?"
"Ok never mind. Your cat ok?"
"Yeah he went missing a couple of days ago, but he just came back :) looking hungry so we're just about to feed him."
There was still a lot more investigating to be done, Natalie thought to herself.

Magnitude 5.8 earthquake hits Virginia
Region's largest tremor in recent history hit northwest of Richmond
By Devin Powell, 13:56 PM August 23, 2011
The seismically sleepy mid-Atlantic states were struck by a magnitude 5.8 earthquake on August 23. At 1:51 p.m. EDT on Tuesday an earthquake struck Virginia, 135 kilometers southwest of Washington, D.C. It's among the largest temblors to strike the state in recorded history.
The quake's epicenter was located in central Virginia about 61 kilometers northwest of Richmond, at a preliminary estimated depth of 6 kilometers. Reports of the quake were posted on the U.S. Geological Survey's Did You ...

Mold versus fungi
Fungi in history and its importance
Describe parts and types of fungi
Identify health hazards of fungi
Cause and prevention of indoor fungal growth
Current guidance for remediation of fungi
Recommended personal protective equipment
Describe air monitoring limitations and exposure limits
Fungi versus asbestos
General term used for fungi that produce asexual spores
Artificial grouping similar to the term "weed"
No taxonomic significance
Generally refers to a visible colony of fungi growing in an indoor environment.
"Mildew" is a layperson's term referring to mold growing in and on substances such as fabrics and wood.
Kingdom of eukaryotic organisms, without chlorophyll, that have cells bound by rigid walls
Organisms classified in this kingdom:
Absorb food in solution directly through their cell walls and reproduce through spores
None conduct photosynthesis
Common Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus)
Smooth Earthball (Sclerodermacepa)
Corresponding taxon for man
Athlete's foot
Corn smut
Slime moulds
Wheat rust
Wood rots
And many more…
In 1928, while working on influenza virus, he observed that mold had developed accidentally on a staphylococcus culture plate
Mold had created a bacteria-free circle around itself.
Mold culture prevented growth of staphylococci
Even when diluted 800 times
Named the active substance penicillin
Hair 100 microns
Hyphae belong to the genus Penicillium and they are about 2-4 microns across
Hyphae of the water mold Saprolegnia
Outdoor air normally always contains some level of these airborne mold spores
Hundreds or even thousands of mold spores per cubic foot of outdoor air
Cladosporium produce light and buoyant spores that aerosolize easily
Dry, maintained carpet typically contains at least 100,000 mold spores per gram of carpet dust
Light Microscope Image of Aspergillus Spores
Most molds reproduce by forming spores that disperse into the air in search of more food and moisture (similar to seed dispersal from plants)
Millions of spores being released into the atmosphere from a puffball
Most filamentous mold spores are microscopic and therefore, invisible to the naked eye
Fungi that produce mycotoxins are referred to as toxigenic fungi
Fungi that produce potent mycotoxins
Seldom abundant in outdoor ambient air.
Most toxic exposures occur from indoor growth of fungi related to excessive moisture
Food products contaminated with aflatoxins
Cereal (maize, sorghum, pearl millet, rice, wheat)
Oilseeds (groundnut, soybean, sunflower, cotton)
Spices (chillies, black pepper, coriander, turmeric, zinger)
Tree nuts (almonds, pistachio, walnuts, coconut)
Contamination costs US producers more than $100 million per year on average
$ 26 millions to peanuts ($69.34/ha)
Animals that have consumed feed contaminated with aflatoxins
Aspergillus flavus
Bluish-green to green
Black to brown-black
Aspergillus niger
Alternaria alternata
Cladosporium herbarum
Cladosporium sphaerospermum
Stachybotrys chartarum
Reddish or pink
Penicillium chrysogenum
Aspergillus ochraceus
Stachybotrys chartarum
35% of the isolates from buildings produce
SUPER TOXIC cytotoxic mycotoxins and satratoxins.
All molds have the potential to cause health effects.
(US Environmental Protection Agency)
The ACGIH approach has been to emphasize that active fungal growth in indoor environments is inappropriate and may lead to exposures and adverse health effects.
(American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists)
"There are very few case reports that toxic molds inside homes can cause unique or rare health conditions…" "The common health concerns from molds include hay-fever like allergic symptoms."
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
Burning eyes
Nose bleeds
Allergic Reactions
Sinus infections
Cognitive disorders
Pulmonary hemorrhage
Liver damage
Central nervous system damage
Brain damage
Prevent ponding of water
Fix water leaks promptly
Keep relative humidity below 50%
Dry wetted materials within 48 hours
Storm flooding
Sewage backflow
Plumbing breaks
Water intrusion,
Moisture buildup
The amount of water vapor in the air at any given time is usually less than that required to saturate the air.
The relative humidity is the percent of saturation humidity, generally calculated in relation to saturated vapor density.
Indicates how moist the air is
Ratio of the water vapor density (mass per unit volume) to the saturation water vapor density, usually expressed in percent

may need to be collected to identify specific fungal contaminants
Should not be part of a routine assessment, but may be necessary if:
An individual(s) has been diagnosed with a disease that is or may be associated with a fungal exposure (e.g., pulmonary hemorrhage/hemosiderosis, and aspergillosis)
Evidence from a visual inspection or bulk sampling that ventilation systems may be contaminated
Presence of mold is suspected (e.g., musty odors) but cannot be identified by a visual inspection or bulk sampling (e.g., mold growth behind walls)
If air monitoring is performed, collect and outdoor and indoor samples
No established exposure limits
No mandated training requirements
No established clearance criteria

A study presented to the American Psychological Association demonstrated once again the positive role religious faith can play in medicine. "The study shows less distress after heart surgery in people who lean on faith for comfort and support than those who feel spiritually angry or doubtful." Obviously, the less stress after heart surgery the quicker and more complete the recovery.
The team "studied 309 people due for major heart surgery at the University of Michigan Medical Center between 1999 and 2002." They were interviewed twice before their surgery and took a survey once afterwards to determine their coping styles. Those whose coping styles included "Finding forgiveness, spiritual support, and love in their religious beliefs" reported significantly less stress. Those who reported being angry at God or spiritually discontent actually experienced more stress.
Another study shows that patients want their doctors to discuss spirituality more often. "Evidence indicates that patients who are more spiritual or religious have lower mortality rates, reduced stress, and overall better physical and mental health. They typically require fewer health services." But, "[l]ack of spiritual training, unwillingness to depart from established medical arenas, and ethical issues are some of the reasons why doctors have avoided widespread spiritual discussion with patients." This is interesting and because doctors are more religious than some had previously believed, perhaps increased attention to a patient's spirituality should be encouraged among medical practitioners. Even if doctors themselves are reluctant to engage in it, increased use of chaplains and association with religious charities and volunteers may be a way to meet this need.

text: Hi there! As you will see, English is not my first language (by far ) Some days ago I noticed after a couple of minutes I start mi PC, my CPU usage goes to a constant 100% , so I checked for viruses and such but MSE gave me nothing and neither Malwarebytes. Here's the weird thing, I checked the Task Manager to see witch process was causing this and it's always a different process (Sometimes MsMpEng.exe, sometimes dwm.exe and even taskmgr.exe itself) so I started killing processes like a maniac leaving just the few essential ones but nothing changed. I also stopped all the services with a delayed start, since the problem starts after a couple of minutes but the problem was still there. Any other idea will be really appreciated. P.S. My system restore is disabled.

UPDATED, Thursday afternoon: Okay, he's finally here — happy now? Not a lot happening yet, but we've got a report: He's here! Prince Harry arrives in Washington
* * *
Prince Harry arrives in Washington tomorrow to kick off his seven-day visit of the U.S. What will this mean for all you aspiring princesses? Basically, nothing: Expect the spare-to-the-heir to maintain a very controlled schedule at a series of elite ceremonial events you can't get into.
On Thursday, he'll start by touring a Capitol Hill exhibit on landmine clearance — a favorite issue of his late mother — before attending a small private reception at the British ambassador's residence and an ever-more small and private dinner party. On Friday, he'll visit Arlington National Cemetery and Walter Reed — and then, already, it will be time to jet off to his next stops in Colorado. Harry will circle back east early next week for appearances in New Jersey, New York City and Connecticut.
It's exactly a year since he was last in D.C. for 24 hours of humanitarian appearances and awards dinners.

|RE: 235 tests are missed at DRLVM test run for Windows
|Tue, 31 Oct 2006 22:50:52 GMT
Anton, 1. Thank you for your suggestion. It's nice to have data in CSV but certainly it's not a P1 issue for me. 2. If I suggested an enhancement, this would be an addition of a test name filter for comparison results. I mean that if I'm interested in Bidi tests comparison, I put Bidi into form field (&name=Bidi) and see a comparison for the tests which names contain the specified substring. 3. When I use "Open in a new window" for a list of tags, IE opens a copy of the initial window. When I do a left click, there is no scroll bar at the pop up window, and the list of tags doesn't fit the window. 4. I vote for one of the following renamings: a) Rename ibm tag to j9 b) Rename drl tag to intel :-).

A thread on dulcimers got me to thinking. Does anyone carry a musical instrument with them backpacking? If so, what is it? Is it MYOG?

Dr Hal makes an ABS flute that sounds as good as my hand made cedar flute. Perfect for hiking.
I'm a percussionist, so pots and other tin are always game. Egg shakers, finger cymbals (zills), Audubon bird calls, jaws harp are some of my favorites.

Thanks Dale.
I've checked out the site before and had forgotten about it.
I just looked again. I was hoping he'd released one that's in the key of G or preferably in the key of F# but he hasn't yet. The key of A is too high pitched for me (it hurts my ears).
I've heard a lot of different plastic models, but his sounds the most like the wooden ones, just a slight bit less breathy than soft wood.
Hopefully he'll come out with lower keys soon.
I also play the Native American hand drum, but it's too heavy and bulky to take along.Jul 24, 2014 at 9:51 am #2122122

What is the name of that flute Phillip – looks like a "snake charmers" flute (Eric take notice). Virtually every culture seem to have there own version, and it is hard to keep track of them. "Tin" flutes such as the Irish whistle are pretty good choices, and cheap, light, virtually indestructible are easy to learn to play. But as I wrote some year back on here I think, even the mellow Native American flute which I can play a bit sounds like a freight train in my ears after a few days solo, so I don't even try anymore. I think it might be different with more people around.
The ones I took, when I took them, were DIY instruments made out of PVC (Shachuhachi and NA flute) so they were cheap, waterproof, and unbreakable. Can even be chucked at a bear in a pinch.
Top to Bottom: Clarks Irish Whistle (a classic), plastic NA flute (bought), PVC Shakuhachi (made), Bamboo 1.4 Shakuhachi (made), last row animal calls I have used to mess with critters, owl call, hawk call, wounded rabbit call makes the Coyotes (the kind with fur) and foxes (not the kind you probably wish) come running for a photo.
If only there were a wounded plant call maybe Bob Gross could get more pictures of bighorn sheep in the mountains.
Apropos if wilderness travel and multi-purposing, the rumon/legend is that in addition to aesthetics the heavy root end of the traditional (and heavy) Japanese Shakuhachi was usable by the traveling monks who played them as a club for protection.Jul 26, 2014 at 3:17 pm #2122627

Some reed-based flutes can take an enormous amount of air to play. Bob and Ken could probably muster it :)
The Susato penny whistles are fantastic and come in a wide range of keys/sizes. They make all kinds of wind instruments.

I also have 2 bamboo didgeridoos, but they're a little heavy and bulky for backpacking. Both are carved and burnished as well, so I don't want them damaged.
I have Native American rawhide rattles too, but without other instruments being played along with, it doesn't exactly sound melodic.
I personally like the "breathy/raspy" sound of the wooden Native American flutes. But the higher pitch keys, Middle A and higher hurt my ears, so I prefer Middle F# and Low E. That does make for larger bores and longer lengths though, as well as more weight.
A number of NA flute makers offer backpacking models in wood. Same quality flutes, just basic models without adornments. They're a bit less expensive, so not as bad if you break it.
Some even sell kits that are pre-bored, so you just finish them up with some sanding and varnish or wax and you're good to go (even cheaper this way).

text: NEW YORK, December 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- NICE Actimize, a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) business and the largest and broadest provider of a single financial crime, risk and compliance software platform for the financial services industry, today announced that it has been ranked as the Best Financial Crime Prevention Product or Service provider in Banking Technology magazine's Readers' Choice Awards 2012. The Banking Technology Awards are a premier award recognizing excellence in the use of IT in financial services. The 2012 Banking Technology Awards consisted of a total of 25 awards across both judged and Reader's Choice categories. While the judged awards focused on financial institution initiatives, the Reader's Choice category focused on product and service technology vendors, and the publications' subscribers were asked to vote for what they consider to be the best systems across the nine product areas identified. "Increased regulatory pressures are strengthening the argument for a company-wide approach to financial crime," according to David Bannister, editor, Banking Technology Magazine. "And the financial crime prevention award category identifies leadership in the information technology support of delivering excellence in this category. The votes from our magazine readers reflect a real support for the winners, and they can be very proud to have such backing from their users." The NICE Actimize financial crime prevention solutions provide a common framework for full-lifecycle detection, investigation and reporting of financial crime. With its customer-centric, enterprise-wide financial crime prevention capabilities, NICE Actimize enables financial institutions to manage money laundering risks, emergent fraud threats and compliance risk, while streamlining processes, and improving the financial institution's ability to serve its customers. Each of NICE Actimize's anti-money laundering and fraud prevention solutions are designed to function independently yet support a company's larger enterprise financial crime prevention strategy with a shared technology platform, offering IT cost benefits, operational efficiencies and performance benefits when compared to integrating disparate systems.

End of Part 1/Summary
Behind the mask of humankind there are hidden natures, whether it is that of despair bourne from a sense of pointless hope and a terrible past or anger brought upon us by unearthed memories hidden deep or the minds of others full of intolerance... hatred... prejudice.
There are things we have done, or will do, that will haunt us forever.
But we must not let the dust settle or the darkness persevere, we cannot let pain and suffering dictate our minds and render us doomed.
It is for this very reason, now that the days are dark and we all have fear and pain in our hearts, that I... Edward Gabriel, return.
Part 1
Matt: knew that Swarm held the information about his past but happens to be his sworn enemy. Swarm who is aware of this constantly tricks Matt and manages to kidnap him.
