Makes 6 pints
Many of us in the Lowcountry grow our own tomatoes or live near tomato farms. Choose rock-hard, unblemished, very round fruits with no sign of red for this delicious relish, a favorite local embellishment for rice dishes, roast meats, and vegetables.
For the vegetables:
5 pounds green tomatoes, cored and ground or finely minced
1 pound (2 green and 1 red) bell peppers, ground or finely minced
1 pound (about 3 average) onions, ground or finely minced
1 or 2 fresh hot peppers, such as jalapeño (optional)
1/2 cup pure salt
For the pickling solution:
4-1/2 cups white vinegar
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons (1/8 cup) mustard seeds
1 tablespoon celery seeds
Grind and mix all the vegetables together and sprinkle with the salt. Allow to sit for 3 or 4 hours, then drain well in a colander, squeezing all the excess moisture out of the mixture.
Simmer the pickling ingredients for 15 minutes, add the vegetable mixture, bring to a boil, and add to sterilized jars. Seal. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

ENVE Road Handlebar
Price: $350.00buy now
Warning: you may not actually want to wrap your ENVE Road Handlebar in any bar tape for a few days after you get it. It'll probably take a few days of gazing at its lithe carbon silhouette and marveling at its lightness, 205g to be exact, before you're ready to obscure even the ends of it. Once you're ready, mount the Road Handlebar onto your bike and start enjoying it as it was meant to be used: as a hardworking, everyday addition to your cockpit. ENVE went the classic route when shaping the Road Handlebar, ensuring each size was designed to actually feel comfortable to hold for hours at a time on a range of training rides. Choose from short and shallow or traditional shapes based on what works for you, and know that the bars won't be out of style in a few years when a new, trendy shape emerges. Arrange your brake levers wherever you'd like them, then let the handlebar enjoy an uninterrupted view from the top of your frame by using the recessed cable routing design. Finally, ENVE includes its own integrated bar ends on the Road, once again demonstrating its attention to the small, but important, details that make the difference.

Hiya Rich,
Firstly I'd like to say my interest in UFOs and ufology has been on the decline for months and is now hovering above the water-line of indifference.
Over the last couple of years, you've entertained my posts and treated me very well. You've been accommodating and welcoming and I've appreciated it.
In a way, I've been like a regular visitor who stops calling and never says why. Bad form.
It's been on my mind that I'd like to say thank you for the respect and for posting so many interesting blogs. It gave me an opportunity to take part in some interesting discussions with great people. You've had your detractors and it's fair to say I'm not one of them. You've been a gent.
All I can add is to say thank you very much for your hospitality and that I've appreciated it greatly.
The UFO bug is likely incurable in the same way as malaria and could bring out the delirium in the future. Who knows?
Respectfully yours,
Posting far from the madding crowd K?
Yep, I chose an old post for exactly that reason as it was more of a personal missive than a public testament to my appreciation.
The sentiment remains sincere in any case.
I understand and thank you for the sentiment(s).
(Even Bragalia is concerned about the UFO ennui of many.)

Gender, Sex, and Consent on the College Campus
The college party: It's an American cultural institution captured in films, immortalized in song, and maybe even held in our most cherished memories. But is it also a place where communication and consent are practiced respectfully between the sexes?
Throughout the week, we've been looking at gender roles, sex, consent and rape from a variety of angles. We've talked with a sixteen-year-old girl about online slut-shaming. We've talked about sex trafficking. We've talked about the messages that young women receive from their parents and cultures.
And today, two young men, both students at the University of Texas at Austin, share their thoughts and experiences with parties, online interactions, and the unwritten rules of conduct between the sexes on campus.
Joshua Tang is a 22-year-old senior, majoring in government and history. And Lee Lueder is a 19-year-old freshman, majoring in business.

Trans fluid after rebuild
When should you change the ATF after a rebuild?
I would drop the pan between the first 1,000 and 2,000 miles. You'll know if a headache is in your future by what's in there.
After that, I'd use regular 30,000 mile intervals.
Technically I don't believe a "break in" is required on remans. I would though just to ease my mind the trans was rebuilt correctly
Thanks. I better not have any probs for what I paid to have it rebuilt
Did you get any type of warranty? Like 5,000 or 10,000 miles?
12,000 miles or 12 months.
A little before the warranty is up, return the vehicle to the transmission builder or place you purchased the trans. Have them drop the pan. If there's clutch material, or metal, burnt fluid, whatever...they will see it, and you'll be under warranty still. If the pan is clean, and fluid looks good I'm sure you'll be ok.
Ignore my advice about a flush between 1-2000 miles. I didn't know if you built it or what. I'd do what I said in this post. Reason being is because if you have it flushed and drained, it can be used as an excuse if anything goes amiss with the transmission
Well the seal between the trans and transfer case is leaking so I'll be running it back to get that fixed.
Cool. That's probably a warranty thing too.
You'll probably be ok with it. Remans act kinda weird, like shift hard, or they'll shift in a weird spot, but they usually work. So long as it doesn't slip or transfer power bad, you can treat and maintain them as you would a regular automatic.
If you're far into that warranty, maybe 5,000 miles or more you can have the mechanic check it out now. It'll save a trip, and anything bad going on should be showing itself in the pan or mesh by now. But if you only have a couple hundred or so I'd wait.
Another thing I'd try for piece of mind is at 12,000...see if they'll extend the warranty. It's not uncommon for shops to be willing as a reman hitting that marker with no slipping, debris, or fluid discoloration is a strong sign of a good build.
How did the original get messed up?

Father And Son Songwriters – Thomas Rhett And Rhett Akins Own Half The Top Ten
Talk about a family that should be proud. The Akins family is ruling the country music world right now. Rhett Akins had a decent career of his own in the 90's and a great songwriting career to follow, and now he gets to watch his son, Thomas Rhett (Akins), as one of country's top new artists. Both father and son share a love of songwriting and the charts this week show that they're both pretty good at it.
- At number one this week is Florida-Georgia Line's hit, 'Round Here', a song co-written by Thomas Rhett, Rodney Clawson, and Chris Thompkins.
- At number five, it's Justin Moore's 'Point At You' with writing credits going to Rhett Akins, Ross Copperman, and Ben Hayslip.
- Number seven belongs to Billy Currington and 'Hey Girl' which was also written by Rhett Akins, this time with Ashley Gorley, and Chris DeStafano.
- At number nine, the younger of the two, Thomas Rhett, has his own song, 'It Goes Like This' on the chart, but he didn't write it. That credit belongs to dad, Rhett Akins, again with Peach Picker buddy, Hayslip and also Jimmy Robbins.
- Finally, at number ten, it's 'Parking Lot Party' from Lee Brice, who co-wrote the song with Luke Laird and…Thomas Rhett….and…Rhett Akins!
It's a great week for the father and son duo, and I think this is just the beginning! Thomas is going to be a huge star, and his dad will keep writing the best songs on the radio!

Iowa, New Hampshire, Hannity: First Stops On The GOP Campaign Trail
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
Last week on his radio show, Sean Hannity observed that "it's funny to me - because every Republican presidential candidate we have interviewed either the day they announce, or the day after they announce."
At the time, Hannity was prodding media outlets who were upset about his being granted the first interview with Jon Huntsman after Huntsman kicked off his campaign in New Jersey last week.
As we noted earlier today, four major candidates for the GOP presidential nomination have granted Hannity an interview shortly after announcing their campaigns. Just this month, Hannity has hosted Bachmann three times, Gingrich twice, and Pawlenty and Romney once each. (He has also hosted perennial sort-of-candidates Sarah Palin and Donald Trump.)
It may be "funny" to Hannity, but it's certainly no coincidence that he keeps landing plum interviews with GOP candidates. His show is a natural extension of the campaign trail.
For the most part, Hannity provides GOP candidates with an unchallenged platform to attack President Obama, Democrats, and the media. He also lets them respond in a friendly environment to any perceived weaknesses or scandals surrounding their candidacy. (Sample Hannity grilling from his interview with Bachmann last night: "What is it -- what is happening out there? Is it your message, the delivery? Why are you resonating right now?")
Hannity has been laying the groundwork for the eventual 2012 Republican candidate for years, both by committing every day of his program to tearing down the Obama administration and by hyping any potential contender to Obama.
He's been hyping GOP candidates -- both real and those merely seeking media attention -- for months now. He spent much of April of this year promoting Donald Trump's pretend presidential run while forwarding absurd conspiracy theories about President Obama's birth certificate.
During the 2010 election cycle, Hannity basically functioned as a one-man PAC. In addition to reportedly attending a fundraiser for former Fox News host and current Ohio Governor John Kasich, Hannity hosted several GOP candidates and provided an open forum for them to plug their fundraising websites on his Fox News program.
On his radio show last October, Hannity urged his listeners, "if they're in districts or states where they don't have important races going on, to sort of go out there and adopt a candidate."
His GOP boosterism was so overt that then-Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell reportedly remarked to DC Republican strategists that she had "Sean Hannity in my back pocket, and I can go on his show and raise money by attacking you guys." Similarly, then-Nevada Senate candidate Sharron Angle told supporters that her appearances on a "friendly press outlet" like Fox News are profitable. Angle specifically pointed to an instance where she appeared on "Sean Hannity's television show" and "made $40,000 before we even got out of the studio in New York."
Eight months later, Hannity's show is now a necessary stop for GOP presidential candidates.
So congratulations, Sean -- the GOP apparently views you as their Most Prominent Media Shill. You've certainly earned it.

Core Learning Outcome Assessment
I. NYIT's Core Curriculum and Core Learning Outcomes
Beginning with the class entering in the fall of 2010, NYIT undergraduate students are now required to complete a new 38-credit core curriculum designed to build seven competencies:
- Communication
- Literacy
- Critical/Analytical thinking
- Interdisciplinary Mindset and Skills
- Ethical/Moral and Civic Engagement
- Global Perspective/World View
- Process and Nature of Sciences and Arts
This new curriculum was created in response to NYIT's institutional goal to become "a model 21st-century university" by 2030. Derived from research findings about the skills needed in a 21st-century workforce, the curriculum is outcome-based. Students' mastery of the seven competencies is measured both during core courses and in their major at the time of graduation.
The foundation for developing and assessing core competences was laid in 2009-2010, when faculty from all degree programs were asked to incorporate instruction on, and assessment of, all seven core learning outcomes into the courses in their majors (see Plans and Reports 09-10 Activity Report).
Assessment activities related to this new core curriculum are designed to provide information that: (1) will allow faculty to improve the newly introduced courses; and (2) will demonstrate the degree to which students have attained mastery of the competencies.
II. NYIT Core Learning Outcomes
III. Procedure of Core Learning Outcome Assessment
In addition to program-specific outcomes, assessment plans for undergraduate programs also include assessment of one core learning outcome per year, designated by the Assessment Committee to be examined across the university, intended to stimulate conversations about improving general education outcomes among the full range of departments and schools.
- 2010-2011: "Communication"
- 2011-2012: "Critical Thinking in Foundation Courses"
- 2012-2013: "Critical Thinking in All Programs"
- A baseline level with which future assessments can be compared.

Patio cover expert eyes
1 Attachment(s)
I am building a patio cover over a recently poured concrete slab, my main concern is the span between posts. I have included a diagram of my plan. I live in central Texas, not much rain and no snow to worry about. When I had the slab poured i was not planning on building a cover, since then I've decided to cover it to protect from rain and the sun. I do not believe the slab will support the structure and I don't want to attach to the house. Will I have any problems with the spans or do you see anything else that needs correcting before construction?
That roof really needed to run all the way up beond the old roof so you would have some slope to it and allow you to tie it in so it will not leak.
Those 6 X 6's also will need a footings.
Thanks, i was trying to avoid connecting to the roof, there is an existing gutter on the roof that I was hoping would catch runoff, I thought the gap might also act as a vent for the patio as it gets quite hot here in the summer, the patio will not be closed in on the sides. I was basically trying to construct a free standing structure that happens to be close to the house :) Yes I was sinking the posts down 24" in concrete. I'm going with a low pitch (3/12) with shingles or a asphalt rolled roofing. Is this just a problem waiting to happen or do you think it will work?

Bad Week for Gafisa (GFA) - CEO Resigns Just Ahead of Paltry Earnings Report
As highlighted last week, it has been a tough year for Brazilian stocks. That said, it's been an especially tough year for Brazilian homebuilder Gafisa (GFA) - tougher still if you go back to the November high in the $17s. One thing you never want to see is the CEO resign. Even worse when it happens within 24 hours of your earnings report. But that's what happened here. One wonders if the stock is close to washing out as I cannot imagine the news cycle getting much worse. And this is a notoriously volatile stock that trades in large ranges - last time it bottomed out was near $10 in May 2010.
On a side note, the Brazilians have not yet learned to
obfuscate manage information efficiently like Americans - when a CEO resigns, the reason is the always happy go lucky to pursue new opportunities or the lovable to spend more time with family. Strangely, he will remain on the board.
First the CEO resignation:
- The board of Brazilian homebuilder Gafisa recognized the resignation of Chief Executive Wilson Amaral de Oliveira on Monday and named Alceu Duilio Calciolari as his substitute.
- The board gave no explanation for Oliveira's resignation in a market filing but said he would remain as a board member. He was expected to retire at the end of 2011 after serving the past five years as head of the company.
- Calciolari has been appointed to step into the top company post until Dec. 31, 2011. He will also take on the responsibilities of chief financial and investor relations officer.
That's going to be one busy man - CEO, CFO, and investor relations officer?
Next earnings:
- Net income at Brazilian homebuilder Gafisa tumbled 79 percent in the first quarter, hurt by delays in construction and licensing. Sao Paulo-based Gafisaearned 13.7 million reais ($8.5 million), down from 64.8 million reais a year earlier, the company said in a regulatory filing.
- The latest results also suffered in comparison with a strong year-earlier period. Net income in the 2010 fourth quarter was 137 million reais.
- While we project our second quarter to be impacted by some of the same factors that we experienced in the first, looking ahead we expect to see improvement in our financial performance throughout the second half of the year, Chief Executive Wilson Amaral said in the filing.
- The company stood by its estimate for the value of new projects at sale, known in the industry as launches, to a range of 5.0 billion to 5.6 billion reais. First-quarter adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, a measure of cash generation and operational profitability, totaled 106.5 million reais, down 37 percent from a year earlier.
- The value of sales contracted slid to 822 million reais in the quarter, down 4.1 percent.

Not really. It is possible that this is because of a flaw in your
code and adding RAM will not fix it. It is also possible that the
calculation is just too big (in this case adding RAM may help), but
I strongly suggest to try to optimize the code first. Any suggestion
will involve code modifications, so I cannot say much ... Learning
about packed arrays may turn out to be very useful. There's also
Share[] (which might actually increases mem usage a little before
decreasing it) and $HistoryLength = 0 can be useful, too.

Harold strongly believes that one of the best investments in our future is education. He attracted crucial resources and partnerships to establish unique programs primarily for district 7 schools. All of these programs are paying great dividends. By all accounts, they have improved classroom performance, retention rates, discipline, creativity, leadership, and global competitiveness.
Continuing to fight for improved education will always be a top priority for Harold.

Big Pharma Teams with President Obama
Byron J. Richards, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist
Big Pharma has struck a deal with the White House1 – now Americans should really be concerned. Big Pharma will spend 150 million to 200 million during the August recess to run ads on TV to support the president's struggling health care plan. That is chump change compared to the extra hundreds of billions Big Pharma plans to rake in over the next decade, but it will certainly impact public opinion. The relationship raises numerous ethics questions.
This is simply the next step in what I reported on last month in my article, Big Pharma & Friends Poised for Massive Profits from Health Care Reform.
Remember, this is the same Big Pharma that during the Bush administration bought every Republican vote so as to block drug re-importation at lower prices for America.
If President Obama wanted to reduce the cost of health care one major area for improvement would be lowering the ridiculous cost of drugs, which are sold to Americans at a mark up of one hundred times the cost of production (and in some cases far more).
This could be accomplished by ensuring the government can negotiate drug prices (which it currently can't) and allowing re-importation for real price competition – and both of these ideas are traditional Democrat ideas. The reason they aren't traditional Republican ideas is because Big Pharma owns Republicans. Now it appears that Big Pharma will own the White House, which has the net effect of owning the Democrat majority (something they have worked at but struggled to fully accomplish).
Of course, stamping out rampant Big Pharma fraud would save even more money.
Big Pharma is buying protection as it always does. It is politics as usual. Americans suffer, regardless of party affiliation.

Westward journey taught me a life lesson. When this journey began, I planned a trip to Utah to attend an anniversary celebration of the Salt Lake 2002 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
I was prepared to write about my ten-year reunion with colleagues from the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, where I was employed as Brand Protection Manager. I also considered writing about reuniting with fellow coworkers at Snowbird Mountain Resort, where I moonlighted on weekends as a ski instructor. I had planned to share many memorable moments from my adventures living and working in Utah. But my story took a different turn.
This is a story about a journey and what I learned along the way:
The road we travel is often more important than the destination we seek.
The story begins with my travel adventures on the road to Utah. It's a westward journey to areas unanticipated and unimagined. It's about people, places and experiences along the way toward my destination.
Slow Travel Experience – I set aside a month for this western journey. Rather than fly, I decided to drive west from the Lake Country area of Wisconsin to Park City, Utah.
Why drive? So I could bring along plenty of gear for all the adventure sports I was planning to enjoy. At the time, I did not realize this decision would lead to other adventures, as often the case with slow travel.
Packed for Adventure Sports – As a multisport athlete, I regularly participate in a wide variety of outdoor sports. For this trip, I needed my alpine and cross-country ski equipment, snowshoes, hiking boots and trail running gear. With so much gear, it was impractical to fly.
Since I had the time, I opted to drive west with a friend. We decided to take the slow road to embrace the adventure. When Susan and I started our westward journey, we were open to new experiences. We came prepared.
Prepare for the Unexpected – Trip preparations included a car tune-up, towing cable, emergency car battery recharger, weather radio, smart phone with GPS, audio e-reader, warm blankets, water and food. This may sound excessive, but we would be traveling in unpredictable winter weather conditions across miles of open road.
Our first unexpected encounter came close to home. A car swerved and nearly sideswiped us. I used my horn to alert the driver. Rather than acknowledge the mistake, the driver exhibited road rage. Twice we picked up the phone to call 911. Finally, we made our escape by dashing to an exit on route to our destination.
Creating New Memories – After our run-in with the road warrior, we needed a calming experience. We visited my uncle at New Melleray Abbey in Peosta, Iowa. This beautiful abbey was established in 1849. I have visited the abbey many times throughout my life. It's a cloistered monastery of self-sufficient Catholic monks who belong to the Order of the Cistercian of the Strict Observance.
When traveling abroad, you may have visited monasteries and cathedrals, but have you taken time to visit a monastery within the United States? You can tour this monastery online. Learn more about New Melleray Abbey and the Trappist way of life at: www.newmelleray.org.
New Melleray Abbey is a very peaceful and spiritual place. It is nestled in the rolling countryside near Dubuque. Its residents enjoy a monastic way of life in what was once an agrarian community. In 1999, they transitioned from farming to manufacturing as a means of remaining self-sustaining. The Trappists now produce handcrafted wooded caskets, urns and keepsakes, which they sell online at www.trappistcaskets.com.
After a delightful lunch with my uncle, we left the abbey to continue our westward journey. The fog cloaked us like a monk's robe. Whiteout conditions remained with us as we traveled across Iowa into Nebraska. This would not be the worst weather we would face along the route. Much worse conditions would lie ahead.
Plan Ahead – As we drove, hotel accommodations were arranged by Susan's husband for our stay at The Cornerstone Mansion in Omaha, Nebraska. Omaha is the largest city in Nebraska and home of Warren Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway
The Cornerstone Mansion is a 17-room, yellow brick mansion built along Omaha's historic "gold coast." World famous architect Henry Ives Cobb designed this Gothic Revival building. It was built in 1892 as a wedding gift for Bertha Yost Offutt from her parents. Mark O'Leary and Julie Mierau now operate the mansion as an inn.
The inn is located across from the Joslyn Castle, a lavish, historic 35-room, 19,360 square foot Scottish Baronial mansion open to the public.
Enjoy the Moment – Our stay at The Cornerstone Mansion was extended twice because of severe winter weather. The storm made driving dangerous. In parts of Nebraska and Wyoming roads were closed.
The inn is within walking distance ofdowntown Omaha, where we explored restaurants and shops in the Old Market District. It is alsoreasonably close to the John Beasley Theater, where Eugene Lee, a regular guest at The Cornerstone Mansion, wrote and is currently directing the play East Texas Hot Links.
Joslyn Art Museum was nearby. Recently, the museum underwent a reinstallation of its American and American Western collections. The museum houses paintings by one of my favorite Hudson River School artists, Thomas Cole.
During our extended stay in Omaha and while housed at the Cornerstone Mansion, we became acquainted with guests at the inn. Every morning, we shared a delicious family-style breakfast together,where we exchanged stories and became acquainted with one another and the area.
Although I never imagined an extended stay in Omaha, we enjoyed our visit. Nor did I imagine snowshoes would come in handy in Omaha, but they did as we trekked our way around the city.
As we continued our westward journey, we remained open to new experiences and whatever lies ahead.
One of Life's Lessons – What lies ahead is unknown. All we can do is come prepared to embrace the adventures life offers us.
I have traveled to many exciting places around the world with the Olympic and Paralympic movements, but never did I imagine writing an adventure story about being caught in a blizzard during a western road trip, and about the wonderful people I met along the way.
We don't have to travel to exotic places to experience new adventures. The journey begins wherever we are; it is not the destination to which we travel.

When most people think of NBA All-Star Weekend, the first event that comes to mind is the slam dunk contest.
Freak accidents are a part of the sports world and one high school wrestler from South Dakota should count his lucky stars (the ones circling above his head like in a cartoon) that he wasn't more seriously injured when a light fixture fell on him during a match...
With about two laps to go in the AdvoCare 500, NASCAR Driver Jeff Gordon crashed into fellow driver Clint Bowyer. The bump sent Bowyer into the wall and sparked one of the greatest NASCAR fights of all-time -- in the pits!

Clearly some Halloween stunts are more successful than others. Also: Clearly some people are more intelligent than others.
NFL ball boy isn't exactly the most exciting job in the National Football League so a kid has to make it seem like it's a Super Bowl moment every time he chases after a ball.
Explosives aren't normally a part of professional soccer, and we can see why; One of them nearly cost this Iranian soccer player his hand.
Normally, NFL tailgates include a mobile stripper pole but it appears that one Chicago Bears tailgate near Soldier Field feel it's the perfect pre-game pump up for fans of stripping, and possibly, football.

Real-Time Rodeo and Round Up - Reduction Trades
Posted by: Sally Jones (IP Logged)
Date: May 24, 2013 05:17PM
The month of May is when rodeo season heats up around the U.S. and cowboys, just like investors, prove their timing, finesse and skill in riding something risky and unpredictable. A review of the GuruFocus "Real Time Picks" report shows the month of May was a virtual rodeo of reductions made by the world's top investors. Let's round up the riders and the horses for a real-time reduction rodeo:
Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH)
First out of the chute is Edward Lampert riding the bucking bronco, Orchard Supply Hardware (OSH). Lampert could have been thrown off a long time ago, but it looks like he is hanging on and possibly riding it all the way to an out-of-court agreement with lenders. As of May 17, 2013, Lampert reduced his position with OSH by 8.88%, selling 21,180, shares at an average price of $1.51. According to GuruFocus, he still holds 217,399 shares after this trade.
The current OSH share price is $1.67 with a change from average up 11%.
Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC)
Next up, rough-riding Larry Robbins has full control of his pony, Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC). Robbins reduced his position with THC by 28.9% as of May 14, 2013, unloading 4 million shares at $47.57. THC has been making excellent gains for Robbins in all five quarters in which he held. He holds around 9.8 million shares after the trade that made an impact of minus 1.98% to his portfolio.
The current THC share price is $45 with a change of average down 9%.
Overstock.com Inc. (OSTK)
Investor cowboy Francis Chou is up next, fast out of the chute, with a firm grip on his horse, Overstock.com Inc. (OSTK). Chou reduced his position by 3.48% as of May 10, 2013, selling 50,612 shares at $25.75.
Francis Chou holds over 1.4 million shares after the trade, according to GuruFocus.
This trade made an impact of -0.4% on his portfolio.
The current OSTK share price is $25.44.
Service Corporation International Inc. (SCI)
Activist cowboy investor Mason Hawkins is next, leaving the chute on a very calm pony, Service Corporation International Inc. (SCI), well under his command for 18 quarters of gains. Hawkins reduced his position by 43.81% as of May 10, 2013, selling around $16.83.
He holds over 13.8 million shares after the trade that impacts his portfolio by -0.82%.
The current SCI share price is $17.19 with a change from average up 2%.
Career Education Corp. (CECO)
The last cowboy investor in today's reduction rodeo is Richard Blum, springing out of the chute on a temperamental pony, Career Education Corp. (CECO). Once again, Blum reduced his position with CECO by 7.36% as of May 10, 2013, selling shares at around $2.55 per share.
Blum owns around 9.2 million shares after the trade that impacts his portfolio by -0.31%.
The current CECO share price is $3.04 with a change from average up 17%.

low slope roof want stop leaking
3 Attachment(s)
I am inserting pics along with this post to ask a few questions and get advise from you guys. As you can see in pic roof A the roof has a transition from a regular pitch roof to a low slope roof. there are regular asphalt shingles on the regular pitched roof and asphalt role roofing on the low slope part. I have an arrow pointing where the water seems to be coming in on the inside of the house. the room is about 11x10. I spread fibered roof coating all over the top area of that room about 12x12 all the way from the edge to the to the transition. That did not stop the leak. so I spread more fibered roof coating aver that area and all over the complete low slope area of the whole house. That did not stop the leak. At that point I put tar over the 12x12 area and that did not stop the leak. I then put tar over the whole transition area, I first lifted the bottom row of shingles and tared under them and tared over them too. I circled in pic roof B. I then went up three shingles and put the fibered roof coating. that did not stop the leak. The hot weather seems to melt the tar and the roof coating and leaves stick to it. I do not think that is the problem. I put the water hose on the roof and let run in one spot for 20 minuts I then moved it over about one foot for twenty minuts and so on untill I got past the room that leaks. I could not get it to leak. the next day we had a medium rain and it leaked. I am at a loss I do not know what else I can do. any advice?
Try spraying some water up at the eave while standing on the ground,
try spraying it at the gable up above the area.
If theres no water getting through while running from the top down,
I would guess its getting in at the eave,
'which they are commonly high on low slope roofs'
and running back against the minimal slope.
If thats the case you'll need to find any lose 'lifting' portions of the material along the eave and place your roof cement under first and than over top.
Seriously, you have coated the roof so much that the job is now a nightmare for anyone to diagnose.
You really need to remove the entire roof and the sloped roof and start fresh. It will continually have more and more problems the way it is now, every time the coating expands and contracts, splitting the under-lying roofing materials with it.
Sadly that is not an option at this point, because of money. I wpild have already doe that if I had the money. If I had the money I would do away with the low slope and put a regular pitched new roof on it. every person I know including myself has had a leak with low slope roofs and flat roofs. I have a shed out back of my house that I store extra lumber. it has a tin roof that has a regular pitch to it. you can stand inside and look up and see daylight from the many holes in it. It has not ever droped one drop of water on my lumber or anything else under it.
anyway untill I can obtain the extra cash to redo the whole roof I have to stop the leake before it causes even more damage. I was hoping I could find a few answers here.
As far as your current issue, on your roof can't tell you exactly where the leak is but can guide you a little. The leak is going to be somewhere above where it is actually leaking inside, and within a foot either side of it. Most of the time it will only get down 4-8 feet at the most before it finds it's way inside so should narrow your search down to 16 sq feet at the most. Gonna see if I can decipher anything more specific from your pictures.
From those pictures, I highly doubt it's leaking anywhere above that transition or it would show inside much earlier. That is a very cheap roof you have on the flat deck, odds are the leak is there. Cheapest and surest way to investigate properly is tear that flatdeck off as far this way as you can afford. When you can afford it, spend the money on quality material and a quality contractor to install it properly. Nothing wrong with the design of that roof.

he he he:laughing: My first job was a roofing job. we were repairing leaks on on a school that had a basically flat roof with the tar and gravel. Five buildings that were 90'x300' all had multiple leaks. My grand father had the same roof his leaked once a year. My dads utility room was flat it leaked once a year. My job as a maintenance director for twenty years for a private school we had four buildings with the flat roof each one of them leaked at least once a year. I know of many many more, too many to type out and explain here. my private school brought in an engineer from LSU Baton Rouge to do a a study as to why the building kept leaking after $250,000.00 had been spent trying to stop leaks. The outcome he explained was water expansion. Again I cannot go into that here either. (I would love to but I cant because of time.) I believe you that when the job is done right with the right kind of material it should never leak. But spending $250000.00 with a reputable roof contractor my point is made. I'm not trying to get into an argument here I'm just Sang in my experience which is not to be dismissed but is not as great as others, every flat roof or should I say low slope roof I have Delta with has leaked. Even my office building I am in now has a leak. picture enclosed.I know the thousands of high rise buildings the millions of them across the nation and around the world have flat roofs and do not leak, but in my case I do not have the money a corporation has to build a high rise building with a special roof. if I had that kind of money I would probably live in a different kind of house all together:thumbup:. with the kind advise I am getting here from you guys I should get this licked. thank you again oldnbroken and you other guys. keep up the good advice.
Not all stains on acoustical ceilings are from roof leaks. Many service calls have resulted in the HVAC condensate trap being clogged with silt and overflowing the interior condensation catch pan.
Also, on single ply roof membranes, most leaks that I have discovered have been the result of maintenance staff removing the HVAC service panel and placing the sharp edge in direct contact with the roof material causing a puncture or slice.
I am not inferring that maintenance men or supervisors are negligent, but I do know for a fact that many other trades and personal do not have sufficient knowledge or act with proper due caution on a vulnerable membrane roof system.
In regards to your situation once again, the flood coat of asphaltic roof coating has probably covered up the possibility of finding the precise leak location.
The most likely area to view would have been at the transition from the flat roof to the sloped roof, which is now saturated with gobbly-gook. It could be s slight stress fracture or even a small nail hole, but finding it will be next to impossible now.
Had you tried to remove the bottom several rows of shingles to visually inspect the material directly under the bottom butt end of the transitional tie in, you may have been able to view the source, but now that it is coated with the viscuous material, it probably has adhered the shingles down too strenuously to be able to carefully remove them.
Also, now with that saturating coating, which will remain tacky, it will be one heck of a mess to try to remove the materials and replace them at some time in the future.
Sorry, no i did not mean the top of the roof, sir.
The leak is probably traveling up hill against the low slope, start at the bottom 'gutter edge' and spray the water up hill and find the loose laps in the materials.
Also look for fasteners that have began pulling up out of the material.
You can also try using a florescent light or black light while in your crawl space, either will enhance water marks on the lumber.
Use burn-down
I had a VERY similar situation where my gabled roof dumped onto my flat garage roof. I tried everything to fix it myself but nothing anyone suggested worked for very long. I had a contractor install a burn-down roof and viola, no more leaks.
Kaju where are you located? Also a roof leek is covered by home onwers insurance. Good luck
My dad had the same problem with an addition over his garage. The water was seeping under the shingles and causing leakage. He decided to go with Metal roofing on the low sloping side. His roof started at the top of the ridge though so it was easy to put a metal cap on. You may need some type of flashing or something to go from shingle or metal. We did the labor ourselves and it took about a day. We got the metal from Roofing Contractor in Baton Rouge called Garcia Roofing. If i think about it i'll try and get some pictures up.
You can also try here for Roofing Supplies in Louisiana
Is that water spot on the drop ceiling at the outside wall?
And roof leaks are NOT covered by homeowners insurance.
I went on a roof leak today, a flat roof with a major belly in the center. People blamed the flat roof instead of the jackass "roofer" that failed to flash the drain and used ODE for a perimeter flashing. LMAO
You get what you pay for.

Children reach developmental milestones at their own pace. Minor, temporary delays are usually no cause for alarm, but an ongoing delay or multiple delays in reaching milestones can lead to issues later in life. Delay in reaching language, thinking, and motor skills milestones is called developmental delay.
Developmental delay may be caused by a variety of factors, including heredity, problems with pregnancy, and premature birth. The cause is not always known. If you suspect your child has developmental delay, speak with your pediatrician. Developmental delay sometimes indicates an underlying condition that only doctors can diagnosis. Early intervention will help your child's progress and development into adulthood.
Fine and gross motor skill delay
Fine motor skills include small movements like holding a toy or using a crayon. Gross motor skills require larger movements, like jumping, climbing stairs, or throwing a ball.
Children progress at different rates, but most children can lift their head by 3 months old, sit up by 6 months, and walk well before their 2nd birthday. By age 5, most children can throw a ball overhand and ride a tricycle.
Exhibiting some of the following symptoms can mean that your child has delays in developing some fine or gross motor functions:
- floppy or loose trunk and limbs
- stiff arms and legs
- limited movement in arms and legs
- can't sit without support by 9 months old
- involuntary reflexes have dominance over voluntary movements
- can't bear weight on legs and stand up by about 1 year old
Falling outside the normal range is not always cause for concern, but if your child is unable to perform tasks within the expected time frame, speak to your doctor.
Speech and language delay
According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), the most active time for learning speech and language is the first three years of life, as the brain develops and matures.
The language learning process begins when an infant communicates hunger by crying. By 6 months old, most infants can recognize the sounds of basic language. At 12 to 15 months old, infants should be able to say a few simple words, even if they aren't clear. Most toddlers can understand a few words by the time they are 18 months old. When they reach the age of 3, most children can speak in brief sentences.
Speech and language delay are not the same. Speaking requires the muscle coordination of the vocal tract, tongue, lips, and jaw to make sounds. Speech delay is when a child stutters or has difficulty producing sounds the correct way. A disorder that makes it hard to put syllables together to form words is called apraxia of speech.
A language disorder occurs when children have difficulty understanding what other people say, and can't express their own thoughts. Language includes speaking, gesturing, signing, and writing.
Poor hearing can cause speech and language delay, so your doctor will usually include a hearing test during diagnosis. Children with speech and language delay are often referred to a speech-language pathologist. Early intervention can be a big help.
Autism spectrum disorders
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can impair your child's ability to communicate and interact with others. Classic autism usually includes language delay and intellectual disabilities. Symptoms are sometimes obvious early on, but may not be noticed until a child reaches 2 or 3 years of age.
Signs and symptoms of autism vary, but usually include delayed speech and language skills and difficulty communicating and interacting with others. Each child will have a unique pattern of behavior with differing levels of severity. Some symptoms include:
- failure to respond to their name
- resistance to cuddling or playing with others
- lack of facial expression
- doesn't speak or has difficulty speaking, carrying on a conversation, or remembering words and sentences
- performs repetitive movements
- develops specific routines
- coordination problems
There is currently no cure for autism but early intervention and education can help your child progress more fully.
Causes and risk factors of developmental delay
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 15 percent of children between the ages of 3 and 17 have one or more developmental disability. Most developmental disabilities occur before a child is born but some can occur after birth due to infection, injury, or other factors.
Causes of developmental delay can be difficult to pinpoint and a variety of things can contribute to it. Some conditions are genetic in origin, such as Down syndrome. Infection or other problems during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as premature birth, can also cause developmental delay.
Developmental delay can also be a symptom of other underlying medical conditions, including:
- autism spectrum disorders (ASDs)
- cerebral palsy
- fetal alcohol spectrum disorders
- Landau-Kleffner syndrome
- myopathies, including muscular dystrophies
- genetic disorders, such as Down syndrome and fragile X syndrome
If you suspect your child is developmentally delayed
Remember that children develop at different rates. However, if you think your child is developmentally delayed, talk to your doctor. If your school-age child is diagnosed with developmental delay, you may be eligible for special services. Specialized services vary according to need and location.
Check with your physician and your school district to find out what services are available. Specialized education, especially when started early, can help your child progress and achieve more in school.
Treatments for developmental delays vary according to the specific delay. Some treatments include physical therapy for help in motor skill delays, and behavioral and educational therapy for help with ASD and other delays.
In other cases, medications may be prescribed. An evaluation and diagnosis from your pediatrician is crucial to come up with a treatment plan specially designed for your child.
Many genetic and environmental factors figure into a child's development and can cause delays in their development. Even a healthy pregnancy and proper care during and after pregnancy can lead to developmental delays in children.
Although causes of delays can be hard to pinpoint, there are many treatments and support available to manage developmental delays. Be sure to speak to your doctor if you see your child exhibiting symptoms of developmental delays.
The sooner you can diagnose a delay, the better it will be for your child's development into adulthood.

i just had lip implants surgery yesterday, i always wanted big lips so i've tried fat injection but was very disapointed because it didn't even last one month. so i decided to go for something permanent even though i think the implants are smaller than the size i want my lips to be, i preffer that over doing injections every 6 months.
so the surgery itself was not easy, i felt pain despite the many shots i got for local anesthesia. after the surgery my lips were HUGE and i was in enormous pain for hours, i tried to sleep but couldn't because of the pain. but eventually i fell asleep and when i woke up the pain was more barable. right now i'm one day after surgery and my lips are very swollen. i will upload pictures later.

Tear troughs were making me look tired and older than I feel... so hello dermal fillers. I had the laser treatment to address several issues... sun damage, skin clarity, fine lines/wrinkles, and collagen loss.
The Only Doctor That Will Ever Touch my Face! - Houston, TX
Tear troughs were making me look tired and older...
From the moment your first call is taken you are met with a friendly and helpful staff, and Dr. Siegel is AMAZING! He is very patient and informative. I admire his honesty, his conservative approach, and the fact that he will tell you "No" if he does not agree with what you might think you want at the time. When I first sought treatment, it was to correct a bad dermal filler experience... I had been over corrected in my tear troughs. I was very anxious to remedy the problem, but the good doctor stood his ground and made me take the necessary time to get it right. Within a week a looked more like my old self... within two I was happy again... within three I was ecstatic. Since then, I have had one laser treatment and loved it so much that I am about to have my second! What you walk away with after treatment by Dr. Siegle is a natural looking, more beautiful you.

Lead-contaminated children's Halloween costumes seized in Seattle
SEATTLE - Two shipments of children's Halloween pirate costumes were recently seized for containing 11 times the legal limit of lead.
The shipments originated in China and were destined for a distributor in the Seattle area.
Two-hundred-twenty-nine cartons containing 1,371 retail units valued at more than $10,000 were seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) investigators.
CBP staff targeted the shipments for intensive examination, and took samples which were submitted to the CPSC. When CPSC tested the samples, it found that buttons on the pirate costumes contained 1,109 parts per million (ppm) of lead. The acceptable level is just 100 ppm.
The shipments of lead-contaminated costumes will be destroyed.

North Ruimveldt man gets four years for ganja
-girlfriend freed
Jermaine Stuffle, charged in January with possessing 605 grammes of cannabis for trafficking, was yesterday jailed for four years when he made his final appearance in the Georgetown Magistrates' Court. He was also fined $544,500.
Stuffle was caught in a January 21, 2014 raid by police ranks on his 3048 North Ruimveldt home. His girlfriend, Marcia James, was also charged but was freed yesterday.
According to the police's facts, officers had gone to the home at about 16:00hrs and had gained entry into the yard. Upon knocking on the door, James opened it and the officers identified themselves. Stuffle soon approached and the duo was told by the ranks that they wanted to do a narcotics search. The couple assented and the search was conducted, soon revealing the marijuana hidden in a hole in a kitchen cupboard. The illicit substance, it was revealed, was hidden in a number of Ziploc bags.
The bags were shown to the defendants and they were both cautioned. Stuffle immediately claimed the narcotics as his and informed the officers that his girlfriend had no knowledge of the hidden substance. The substance was weighed and amounted to 605 grammes. Stuffle was subsequently invited to CANU and the allegations were put to him. Once again, he admitted that the marijuana was his and proceeded to sign the statement entered into the questioning officer's diary. Later, when James was questioned, she denied any knowledge of the discovered marijuana.
In yesterday's proceedings before Magistrate Ann McLennan in court 2, Stuffle was found guilty of the crime. Prosecutor Deniro Jones was able to prove beyond a doubt the prerequisites necessary for one to be found guilty of narcotics trafficking including the existence of the said drug, the possession of the drug and that the drug was for trafficking purposes.
Though Stuffle subsequently denied the initial confession on the date of his arrest, Prosecutor Jones' case was found to be solid.
However, a case against James could not be upheld due to the difficulty posed in tying her to the drugs since she did not reside in the North Ruimveldt home. Consideration was also given to the fact that James was in the bedroom at the time of the search.
Stuffle was given an opportunity to dissuade the court from meting out the maximum penalty and eagerly took the chance. "Your Worship, Your Worship, all I saying is if you find me guilty be a `lil lenient on me." the mason beseeched. In the determination of Stuffle's fine, a number of factors were considered, including the street value of a gramme of cannabis. After Prosecutor Jones informed Magistrate Mc Lennan that the current value was $300 per gramme, this figure was multiplied by the quantity and then by three times. Hence, a fine of $544,500 was decided upon along with the four years of imprisonment.
