No one likes regulatory compliance programs. They're a pain. They detract from "real" work. They're expensive.
Non-compliance, even for those who think their compliance programs are up to speed, is three times more expensive than compliance, however.
The U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services announced that Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) has agreed to pay a fine of $1 million to settle potential violations resulting from a 2009 incident in which an MGH employee left records of 192 patients – many of them HIV positive – on a Red Line subway train.
On March 9, 2009, according to a complaint filed by one of the patients whose records were lost, an MGH employee left the hospital with a stack of patient files so she could work on them at home.
Returning to work on a Red Line, the woman put the rubber-bound stack of papers on the seat beside her, where they remained until sometime after she forgot about them and left the train.
The records, which included many in various stages of HIV or AIDS treatment at Mass General's Infectious Disease Associates outpatient practice, were never recovered.
MGH – a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital whose programs on patient privacy predate HIPAA by so long that the signs in elevators reminding employees not to gossip about private patient information look ancient and are sometimes cracked – admitted no legal culpability in the settlement.
It did agree to follow a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) designed to tighten security and compliance – and maintain it for three years.
The CAP requires MGH to create and put into practice a whole new, even tighter set of policies and procedures to make sure private data is protected when and if it leaves the hospital.
It also has to train, retrain or overtrain employees on the new procedures, even though it has had data-privacy policies and training programs in place for years and already requires relevant employees to be trained.
The lost records were on paper, not in digital form, which probably made them more vulnerable. You can lose a laptop almost as easily as you can a stack of papers, but paper records can't be encrypted or password-protected.
A potentially bigger problem, at least for the IT staff responsible for compliance and security, is that losing paper records over which they had no control and probably no knowledge will force the hospital's parent company to appoint a director of Internal Audit Services whose job it will be to continually assess MGH's compliance with the CAP.
That's going to require a revamp of compliance and records-security procedures, or at least to document what the IT crew is already doing.
Just that, not to mention training hundreds or thousands of employees in new procedures, may very well cost MGH a lot more than the $1 million it has to pay in fines – not to mention the cost of any potential litigation or settlement with patients whose records were lost.
A lot of the implementation cost is going to fall on IT, even though it had nothing to do with the security breach, and may never have any ability to control what employees do with paper records.
Neither the fine nor the cost of follow-up is going to sink MGH or its giant parent company Partners HealthCare System, Inc.
It should scare a lot of other organizations, though – whether they're in the healthcare business or not.
There are plenty of regulations to threaten anyone not paying enough attention, though surveys show compliance is eating up so much of security budgets it often doesn't leave enough for proper security.
Not spending on compliance costs even more, however.
Pick your favorite: HIPAA, Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach Bliley, FDA 21 digital records and signatures rules, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, import/export rules, the Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements accounting rules...
No matter which keep you up at night, or how well you have them covered, digitally at least, every one of them can come back to bite you in the form of even one employee dedicated and hardworking enough to take records home, and just as forgetful as all of us are during the morning commute back in.
$1 million is a lot to pay for someone else's grogginess during the morning commute, especially if the repercussions will hit you, even though there's currently nothing you can do to make sure sensitive paper doesn't go missing in the subway.

GENERIC NAME: chloramphenicol
BRAND NAME: Chloromycetin, Econochlor, Ocu-Chlor (These are discontinued brands in the US)
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Chloramphenicol is a man-made antibiotic. It slows growth of bacteria by preventing them from producing important proteins that they need to survive. Chloramphenicol is effective against S. typhi, H. influenzae, E. coli, Neisseria species, Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species, Rickettsia, and lymphogranuloma-psittacosis group of organisms. The FDA approved chloramphenicol in December 1950.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Chloramphenicol is available in 0.5% sterile eye drops and 1% eye ointment. Eye drops are available in 2.5 ml and 15 ml drop-containers. Ointments are available in 3.5 g tubes.
Chloramphenicol sodium succinate is available as 1 gram/10 ml per vial powder for intravenous injection form.
STORAGE: Chloramphenicol eye drops are refrigerated until dispensed. Chloramphenicol ointments are stored between 46 F and 80 F. Chloramphenicol vials for IV reconstitution are stored between 20 C and 25 C (68 F and 77 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Chloramphenicol treats various infections caused by susceptible strains of S. yphi, H. influenzae, E. coli, Neisseria species, Staphylococcus and Streptococcusspecies, Rickettsia, lymphogranuloma-psittacosis group of organisms, and other bacteria that cause bacteremia (bacteria in blood) and meningitis.
Eye drop solution:
- Mild disease: Instill 1 to 2 drops into the affected eye(s) up to 4 times a day
- Severe disease: Instill 2 hours into the affected eye(s) every hour until improvement.
- Eye ointment: Apply a small amount to the affected lower conjunctival sac(s) at bedtime as a supplement to the drops.
Intravenous (IV):
- Adults: 50 to 100 mg/kg IV every 6 hours.
- Children: 50 mg/kg IV every 6 hours; may increase to 100 mg/kg IV every 6 hours in severe illness.
- Newborn infants: 25 mg/kg IV every 6 hours. Newborns over 2 weeks old may receive 50 mg/kg every 6 hours.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Chloramphenicol should not be used with lurasidone (Latuda) because chloramphenicol significantly lowers lurasidone's metabolism and increases its levels in the body.
Chloramphenicol should be used cautiously with red yeast rice, warfarin (Coumadin), and vilazodone (Viibryd) because chloramphenicol lowers their metabolism and increases those drug levels in the body.
PREGNANCY: There are no adequate studies done on chloramphenicol to determine safe and effective use in pregnant women.
NURSING MOTHERS: Chloramphenicol enters breast milk. Therefore, it should not be used in nursing mothers.
SIDE EFFECTS: Side effects of chloramphenicol are headache, mental confusion, fever, rash, diarrhea, and optic atrophy.
Chloramphenicol may cause Gray syndrome and serious, fatal blood dyscrasias. Gray syndrome occurs in pre-mature infants and neonates. It involves abdominal distention, pallid cyanosis, and vasomotor collapse leading to death. Blood dyscrasias are reductions in blood cells leading to aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and granulocytopenia.

This is Pam, Flicka and Lucas's Mum.........(http://www.dogster.com/dogs/655533)
It is with great sadness I need to pass on the news that Elizabeth passed away on Saturday 27th October.
She will have a Mass said and a Cremation on 10th November.
Her husband Mark who was her wonderful soul-mate and friend phoned me this morning with this sad news.
Elizabeth had the most amazing Love and Faith. Both kept her steadfast to the very end.
Her dogs , Troy her Guiding Dog and Hudson and her cat Angel Soleil were her passions and her loves as was her music.
She and a friend as singers brought beauty and light to many with their wonderful voices.
Mark.... Elizabeth's husband will carry on loving and caring for Troy , Hudson and Angel Soleil.
There is nothing that makes it easy for those who continue to love her except perhaps the knowledge that she is secure in her Faith that they will meet again in the fullness of time.
Mark.... many will hold you close and be there for you as well.... and Troy and Hudson and Angel Soleil will help you with their Love.
Sail on Fair Winds and Calm Seas Elizabeth . You were and always will be much loved.
I(Pam) will continue to look in to these Diaries and pass on your love and words...
Meow! Thank you catster for making me DDP on August 15th 2012. Mom and I want to thank all catster friends who e-mailed and sent gifts to us. Thanks for your special purrs spice.
Princess Angel still purring with mom.
Meow! First thank you everyone for all the gifts sent to me! I salute you all!
Some changes in my world. Mom is very ill with cancer. Radiation and chemo have not been successful so now only prayer will provide a healing miracle. Mom has a strong faith in God and knows that if she still has work to do here on earth God will provide the healing. But if He wants her home with Him then that's what will occur. I thank you for your prayers for my mom. Mom has great love and respect for all the people, dogs and kitties she has met on catster and dogster. So many beautiful fine human and animal companions travel our wonderful planet together. It is hard for me seeing mom ill but my purrs help and we're in this thing together, dad is there for all of us and of course my 2 dog brothers. Life has many very difficult moments but also such precious moments of beauty and joy. So mom and I treasure the every day miracles that come our way. Thanks again for everything and mom and I salute and honor each of you and hope you will live long, happy lives filled with many many blessings and much fun! God bless!
Princess Angel sharing my kitty healing magic and loving the every days of life!

expense that we have no way to repay. And the least we can do is respect our founding

start to this is to join the NRA, call or e-mail your representative and congressmen and
remind them of the difference between a right and a priviledge. Thank you.
Here is some history of what happened to other countries that passed gun control. It may
seem extreme and I pray that it never happens here. But those that would trade their
freedom for security don't deserve either.
Whether you agree or not, it's an interesting lesson in history. Something to think about...

Curly minimalists, no pooers, and natural product users...?
Sorry I posted in the wrong thread before!
Okay so I had done no poo last year for about 8 months roughly. It was great. I did bs, shampoo bars and acv rinses. My hair was getting really dry and tangly and after a while not much cur definition. I'm back to using conditioner, stylers, lowpoos etc. and its been awhile. I'm noticing I been shedding like crazy. Mostly when I have conditioner slathered on and I runy fingers through my hair. Ita juat not fun to scrunch gel into your hair when there are a bunch of conditioned hairs all over you (aren't attatched to head anymore haha).
I chopped my hair to past my jaw line so I'm wondering if I should do no poo again or just switch to using more natural products. I like cheap conditioners but not the weird ingredients... for example suave vs. Kckt.
Any suggestions, experiences, or comments?
P.S. I have hard water.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using CurlTalk App
I suggest trying the CG method by the book, i.e., following the method as described by Lorraine Massey in Curly Girl: The Handbook, available here or here.
The information in it floats around here in bits and pieces, and you're much better off getting the book, so you get all the information, and can follow the method the way it's meant to be done.
Yeah I need to buy it already. I guess minimalism won't happen for me lol. I like being a pj so its okay with me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using CurlTalk App
Yeah, my hair sheds quite a bit too. It's annoying, but I seriously wouldn't stress over it.
You're meant to shed about 100 hairs per day and, for us curlies, those hairs don't fall to the floor, they get tangled up in our hair. If you're like me and wash you hair every few days (as opposed to every day), then that's a good few hundred hairs that are finally getting the chance to detangle from your curls.
So shedding is natural and fine and there's not much you can do really :) You're meant to shed so new hairs can come through, so as long as you're not noticing that your hair is getting thinner / you are experiencing bald patches, then I'd just go with the flow!
Side note, just to your above post: Lorraine Massey's method is actually pretty minimalist, so maybe following that will break your PJ ways lol
You could possibly go with conditioner only styling. One single product for cowash, rinse out, leave in and styler sounds pretty minimal to me ;)
Okay maybe I just need to get over my hair shedding. I get so annoyed when im ready to apply product and there's hair all over my arms, hands etc. It makes me so mad!
I think y'all are right. The thing is I like being a pj but I also think its ridiculous to spend so much sometimes. I want to probably use as natural products as possible. I used the coconut and hibiscus cowash, smoothie, and mist last night from she a moisture.

A residential project comprising of 59 apartments and 74 lock up garages which was proposed to be carried out on a large site behind the protected building and gardens of Villa Chapelle in St. Paul's Bay was today turned down by the MEPA Board because the entire development was too cumbersome resulting in overdevelopment.
Although the proposal included the restoration and reuse of the Villa into a Beauty Parlour, the Board concluded that holistically this project was too intensive and was not ensuring the sustainable development of the site. The proposed development included the construction of four internal residential blocks between Triq Ramon Perellos and Triq il-Mosta. On this site, MEPA had issued an outline development permit in 1998 and renewed it in 2004 and agreed in principle to the construction of 28 residential units and 53 parking spaces.Villa Chapelle was built by Baron Francis Chapelle at the turn of the 20th century, as a summer family home. This prominent Art Nouve building with its mature gardens is a landmark and architecturally unique in St Paul's Bay. The Authority had scheduled the Villa and its surrounding grounds as a Grade 2 on the 17th April 1998.

The build is https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1579937 and the build.log from the failed x86_64 build is https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1579946&name=build.log The error seems to happen while linking: g++ -shared -Wl,--no-undefined -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -o components/libmozvoikko.so mozVoikko.o mozVoikkoSpell.o mozVoikkoUtils.o mozVoikkoSpellFactory.o -Wl,--as-needed -L/usr/lib64/xulrunner-sdk-1.9.1/lib -lxpcomglue_s -lxul -lxpcom -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 -lpthread -ldl results in `nsISupports::COMTypeInfo<int>::kIID' referenced in section `.data.rel.ro' of /usr/lib64/xulrunner-sdk-1.9.1/lib/libxpcomglue_s.a(nsGenericFactory.o): defined in discarded section `.rodata._ZN11nsISupports11COMTypeInfoIiE4kIIDE[nsISupports::COMTypeInfo<int>::kIID]' of /usr/lib64/xulrunner-sdk-1.9.1/lib/libxpcomglue_s.a(nsGenericFactory.o) collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Any ideas on what might be going wrong here?
It's also the reason why firefox doesn't yet build. http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=1581586&name=build.log
It's being worked on by Martin and Jan. They'll get the rebuilds for F12 ready too.

The Boston Marathon bombing suspects had some training in carrying out their attack, according to the chairman of the US House Homeland Security Committee.
Republican representative Michael McCaul is citing the type of device used in the attack - shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs - as well as the weapons' sophistication as signs of training.
Homemade bombs built from pressure cookers have been a frequent weapon of militants in Afghanistan, India and Pakistan. Al-Qaida's branch in Yemen once published an online manual on how to make one.
Mr McCaul also told Fox News Sunday that he thinks the suspects' mother played "a very strong role" in her sons' radicaliSation process and that if she were to return to the United States from Russia, she'd be held for questioning.

Let me start this write up off with a question -
"Is it really worth getting a Silicone Turbo Inlet Pipe for the ko4-20?"
I didn't think so when I did my ko4-20 swap, but as you'll be able to see while you read in the thread, it's a MUST have for this turbo.
Personally, I waited months before thinking about getting a silicone turbo inlet. I couldn't justify spending $170+ on a piece of silicone, but after problems i encountered and a bit of research, i found it's worth every penny.
I was having problems since i put the Audi 225 TIP on the car in the beginning. I would get very strange boost drops at redline, 20-12 psi, 20-10 psi, etc. and when the car would enter boost, it seemed kind of rough, as if flow wasn't quite right. This is when i got in contact with Angel and Mike at Forge Motorsports. I discussed with them the problems i was having with my boost and what might be going on, i was suspicious of the TT225 TIP collapsing. From what they told me and the tests that they've done, it's a fact, the TT pipe is the weak point in the system and is notorious for failing.
At :12-17 of this video you'll be able to see how the TT225 fails under boost http://www.forgemotorsport.com/media/intake.mpg
With that being said, i wondered to myself if i could be getting more than just 19-20psi out of my turbo and if when i ran my car on the race file, what problems would i encounter then if i kept the stock inlet? I decided enough was enough and ordered one from Mike and Angel. I'd like to also add that when purchasing the pipe, have them send you clamps for it as well, they're great quality clamps and really should be the only clamps used on the silicone.
All items were packed very well, and shipping was quick. Mike and Angel at Forge are great guys to deal with; my full review Forge and their Turbo inlet will follow the Install.
Before Install
You'll need to get these things in order to make everything work properly. (i got all mine from a local AutoZone)
2 Pre-bent hoses and a few others:
- Hose #4202 (a 90 degree bend into a long straight)
- Hose #3008 (a big loop almost like a U)
- (1) E-Z coil 3/4" Part number: GY34UBP
With these next 1, it's for the PCV valve relocation; i cant seem to remember which size it is though, 5/8 or 3/4. I'm pretty sure it's 5/8 but just to be sure, when you go into AutoZone, bring the PCV valve with you if you can to see if it'll fit. Very sorry about that (if someone finds out which it is, please let me know!)
- (1) 3/4 or 5/8 heater core connector
- About an additional 4 medium size clamps
and if you dont have this as well from your ko4 install, you'll need a Silicone reducer 45 degree angle, 2 1/4" - 2"
- 2 Screw drivers, medium and long
- A small socket set with a small to large extension
- If you have one-time use clamps, then something to cut those
- Lubricating oil
- Rags
Install Time!
What i started with:
For reference, the items i have around or connected to the inlet are:
- N75 J valve
- 710n DV
- Stock PCV valve
- Godspeed FMIC (Im sure many of you know my DIY on that as well)
A more close up view
First things first! disconnect the: MAF, diverter valve hose going to the intercooler, N75 valve lines, and top intercooler pipe(if you're FMIC'd), just be sure to plug the top of the turbo where you took the intercooler pipe out to not get anything into the turbo, that wouldn't be good!
I usually like to leave in all valves in, just before i any TIP out, just so nothing gets into the pipe, but you may do it different and that's fine.
Next up, Take out the diverter valve, n75 valve(i left mine plugged in and pushed it to the side in the engine bay), and PCV valve.
Now start to take out the turbo inlet pipe. Unscrew/Unratchet the bottom clamp connecting the TIP to the turbo. Once disconnected, start to pull, it should start to slide out fairly easily. MAKE SURE to not have the inlet hitting anything too bad when taking it out, you don't want to break/snap something in the process. I dont have any pics while i was taking it out, just when it was out:
A couple things i was REAL happy about ( ) was when i looked at my TT turbo inlet after it was out of the car. This is what i saw:
Cracked and well worn, this inlet is COOKED. The PCV valve ripped right out of it when i barely pulled on it, so to say the least, my inlet was collapsing im sure (this inlet, to my knowledge, only had about 40k on it)
With that junk 225 inlet out, you want to remove this piece(circled in yellow) from it as you'll need to put this on the Forge Inlet.
Here it is transferred onto the Forge inlet, clamp it well!
Now to tackle the PCV valve relocation. Take the heater hose connector you got from your local auto supply store and connect it to the TIP. (ignore the heater core hose i have on it, this was a prototype of it, but was not the final. Only thing that should be in the inlet is the connector) It should look like this (sorry for the blurry pic, theres more in the finished product below)
Things scattered in my driveway
Alright, now with those connected, let's get the Forge Inlet in there!
First start by taking some of the lubricant, and rubbing it on the inner side of the of the inlet where the turbo meets the pipe (the smaller hole opposite of the big hole). Then start by gradually sliding the inlet in between everything(make SURE to go OVER the heater core hoses, etc. NOT under.). Once lined up with the turbo, start to push on it. It takes a little bit of muscle to get it fully onto the inlet, and you should know when you're all the way on.
Remember, the ko4 has a lip to where the inlet cant go any further, see here:
So this is what you should see when it's fully on:
Make sure to tighten the clamp that's on the turbo TIGHT! Use a socket rather than a screwdriver for that.
Starting to come together!
Now we're starting to piece everything back together, first put back on the MAF and filter (i choose to put a MBC on originally, but in the end put the N75 J valve back on)
Now to put the PCV back in
First take the prebent hose #4202, that should look like this:
and put it onto the turbo inlet is where the already existing heater hose connecter is, on the 90 degree bend side. Once this is in and clamped, put the PCV valve back in and connect it to the stock hose. There shouldn't be any crimps in the line. Hopefully this picture will help out with the idea
Next up is putting the top intercooler pipe back in, so that you can start to make test fitments for when the DV goes back. Get that 45 degree coupler on there, it should look like this
and just so you know the angle the pipe should be at (also gives you a preview of how the DV is going to work) :
Connect the couplers and make sure the clamps are TIGHT, learn from my mistake and awesome boost leak on the highway because a clamp wasn't completely tight
Putting the DV back in isn't bad either. First grab the pre-bent hose #3008, which is shaped like a U. Start by test fitting the connection between the DV and the nipple from the intercooler pipe, it should go on like this:
That bend will crimp just a tiny bit at the bottom side once everything's in, SO before putting it in, take your E-Z coil and put it on the hose, molding it so that it wont crimp.
When installing, you want to make sure that the bend goes above the N75 nipple that's sticking out of the TIP. This next picture should describe what i mean
After that, take a step back, YOU'RE DONE!
The finished product:
Total install time- As you can see from the pictures, it went from daylight, to night, I took my time with this. I had to do that though so i could engineer how to get the PCV and DV relocation to work, get the parts, talk it over with pops, make adjustments, get final prototype, eat dinner, etc. lol. It took me about 6 hours with all the planning/running to the store/eating/install. For you guys out there with this all mapped out, Id say just about 2 hours tops.
My overall Satisfaction- Well this is easy. I really didn't think that it would make that much of a difference, like Im sure much of you out there do as well. BOY i was wrong. As soon as i got to a safe location, where i could really get on the gas ... 24 psi spike, 23-22psi hold(i was only at 19-20 before!), smooth delivery, LOUD spool(even louder from before! i know!), and a huge kick in the pants, not to mention no collapsing rubber . I couldn't believe how much of a difference this pipe made, for that much kick for that price, i consider it a STEAL. I really wish i did this sooner and didn't wait all this time, and would recommend it to ANYONE doing a ko4-20 swap, this part is a MUST HAVE. [IMG]http://*****************.com/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]
My Overall Satisfaction with Forge's product- As you can tell, this part, performance wise is unreal. With that performance though, it has to be built to handle it, which it does 10 fold. With 4 ply silicone and great rigidity, this piece is ready to handle 24 psi all day and night, no collapsing or misdesign here like the stock piece. Honestly, there is nothing i can say that i wish was better on this piece, and i would say it too if i saw something that i didn't like, the whole purpose of this thread is to help all of you, not to deceive. It's from an Audi application, and i made it easy to fit on a MKIV. Would it be nice to have a direct fit ko4-20 swap MKIV VW edition? That would be great, but not necessary after i installed mine. Who knows though, maybe with enough interest for ko4-20 swapped MKIV's maybe they will make one! Really to sum up everything is simply this: Forge builds quality, nothing less, bottom line. [IMG]http://*****************.com/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]
My Overall experience with Forge Representatives- I spent quite a bit of time with both Angel and Mike discussing the product, how i could get it to fit, etc. And all i can say is that they're excellent people to deal with. Very personal, very into cars (which sometimes you don't find in the automotive industry and is very important to me, i know call me crazy ), believe strongly in what they're selling, and genuine VW/Audi enthusiasts. Would i buy from them again? In an instant. Would i trust them and their product? Completely. With both Angel and Mike, they're not trying to hide anything; they're just trying to help the VW/Audi community with the great products that they offer. And to the both of them i give a [IMG]http://*****************.com/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG] and 2 's each I would recommend buying from them to anyone [IMG]http://*****************.com/smile/emthup.gif[/IMG]
Forge's website - directly to the 225TT TIP here: http://www.forgemotorsport.com...25IND
At this time i'd like to tell ALL of you, if you have ANY questions about the install, performance, satisfaction with the part, etc. Please feel free to IM me! I'm more than happy to help you out with any Q's you may have.
BIG BIG BIG BIG Thanks goes out to:
-firstname.lastname@example.com - his SN on here
-firstname.lastname@example.com - " "
-To my Dad, who helped me out big time with the install
and that's it! I hope you all enjoyed this read and benefited from this thread, that's all what my intention was.
All i'm here to do is help the VW community that i love so much

Days of Stocks and Roses
by Utahna Faith (NolaChere)
For the first time ever, I have a legitimate excuse for staying home in my pajamas all morning; I am an online investor.
I've tried various occupations since graduating with a liberal arts degree a decade ago, including clerking at a hippy bookstore in Los Angeles, owning and operating a coffee house on a Caribbean island, and smiling and serving pretzels at 35,000 feet. (Not to mention a mind-numbing stint at a pizza place and a soul-numbing eight months at a bank.)
Now I drag myself out of bed at 8:15 my time, just in time for the East Coast market opening, make myself a cup of cafe-au-lait, and plop down in front of my computer. As I check stocks, news, market indicators, Breakfast with the Fool and CNNFn, I steal glances out the window at birds in the feeder, squirrels in the trees, honeysuckle, and roses blooming in my backyard.
Though I am occasionally glued to the screen for hours, watching one of my holdings skyrocket or tank, crossing my fingers and holding my breath, most days are relatively peaceful. Between my research and monitoring, I can make breakfast, water the flowers, weed my garden, work on my novel or read someone else's novel. I can have lunch with my partner, listen to "All Things Considered," and cook up a pot of seafood gumbo or Caribbean calaloo.
The best thing, the beautiful thing, is the freedom. No one can write me up for staring out the window; no one can criticize me for writing poetry in the margins of a spread sheet. I can listen to Ella Fitzgerald while I work if I choose to, I can take a break when I feel like it, I can make money without wearing shoes.
I am in love with this new investing life and hope I can be wise enough, Foolish enough, lucky enough for it to continue.

What brand of furnaces do you work on? R u brand specific?
Do you guys generally work on your own promoted brands of furnaces exclusively these days given that many newer make furnaces seem to have proprietary parts now or do you service all makes and models?
One tech I spoke with said years ago, he would carry standard parts in his truck and be able to service most furnaces out of his truck but with the newer design setups, you have to diagnose and then source proprietary parts to do a second service call.
Do most brands all work the same but just not allowing interchangeable components? My point is should I only call a Lennox approved tech for my Lennox or brand X?
The other consideration is if I find a good tech that I trust but I want a brand of furnace that has features i want but that he does not promote, would he still be ideal to do the install?
I will work on anything other than a Rheem/Ruud mod. totally different than any other unit as it uses varying voltages to the gas valve and their special varying voltage tstat and U need their hidden tech info etc. It is best to stay with the brand the installer recommends as he can set it up properly. Other than the mods most guys should be able to fix most other brands. Getting the service manual and info is usually the big problem.
It all comes down what you want to spend. Do you want a high end a/c and high end furnace. Then you look who has better warranty plan. Then you look and see you has a better rebate going on at the time of replacement. Then you want to check B.B.B. who in your area had outstanding rating. Then look into that company and see what offer like warranty them self. Some company will offer to the warranty . Sorry this should be on top but if you are looking to live were you are now. Just put in 80% and 13 seer a/c. But you planning living there more then 10 years then look into the high seer a/c is offer and 90% (or higher) so you see the unit paying it self off. That would be me if I was you. Good luck happy hunting .
I chose my local brand after being in business for 15 years. Brand A,B,C has no parts support, their warranty policies suck, however, brand D-warranty is good(and I am not talking about consumer warranty-DOA) and it's all local.
Back when I started I would put any manufacturer you wanted in your house. Today...I know who is going to support me as a business and If you want a Trane, Rheem, Ruud, Goodman, American Standard or any other brand that is not well supported in this area...good bye....Other than parts I am not going to deal with them. Especially Trane who thinks their stuff is gold plated.:yes:
I'd like to deal Trane, but I am not sure the powers that be (Uncle)would allow it.
So I push my second fav which is Gibson,Frigidaire, and Westinghouse.
They are well designed but not as quiet as some of the others.
That's why Uncle has it in for some of the larger mfg.

Top Three Holdings of a Top Investment Advisory Firm
Posted by: Vanina Egea (IP Logged)
Date: March 6, 2014 11:19AM
Over the past days hedge funds have been filing their form 13-F, which is a quarterly report of equity holdings filed by institutional investment managers with at least $100 million in equity assets under management, as required by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In this article, let´s concentrate in one particular hedge fund and try to see the principal holdings in its portfolio. I will look into Blackhill Capital Inc., a financial investment advisory firm headquartered in Morristown, N.J.
Recently the fund reported its equity portfolio, as at the end of last year. The total value of the portfolio amounted to $657.0 million, up from $621.2 million disclosed at the end of the previous quarter. Consequently, the fund's total return was 5.75% in the last quarter. The filing revealed that at the end of last year, the fund added 38 new positions to its equity portfolio, and sold out of two other companies. The top 10 portfolio holdings as of the end of the quarter represented 69.67%.The largest changes from previous 13-F fillings are in the health care sector (1%) followed by industrials and technological stocks (around 0.2% each).
In this article, we have selected three companies, in which the fund holds the largest stakes, in terms of market value.
The first on the list is Pfizer Inc. (PFE), in which Blackhill disclosed a $23.6 million stake with over 772,140 shares. Pfizer is a biopharmaceutical company which sells health care products worldwide. It operates in a highly competitive industry with Merck & Co. Inc. (MRK), Novartis AG (NVS) and Sanofi (SNY). It has reported fourth quarter EPS and revenues above the Zacks Consensus Estimate. It has a proven commitment to returning cash to investors, with a current dividend yield of 3% which is considered quite good to protect investors' purchasing power. The company returned about $15 billion to shareholders (dividends and share buybacks) in 2012.
Other hedge fund gurus have also been active in the company. Jim Simons (Trades, Portfolio) has bought in it in fourth quarter 2013.
The Walt Disney Company (DIS) comes in next, the fund owning over 250,860 shares, worth $19.1 million. The company reported earnings per share increased by 33.8% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. As we can see in the next chart, the bank has demonstrated a pattern of positive EPS growth over the last years.
We have to mention, that the net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has outperformed compared to the Media industry average.
In Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) Blackhill disclosed ownership of over 206,560 shares, worth $18.9 million. The company reported earnings per share increased by 32.5% compared to the same quarter one year prior, and has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. The company returns cash to investors: Its current dividend yield is 2.83%, which is considered quite enough to protect the purchasing power.
Final Comment
The stocks still have good upside potential despite the fact that they have already risen in the past year. The three stocks are certainly attractive for fundamental investors and make it a worthy investment for Blackhill's portfolio. In future articles we are going to calculate the intrinsic value of these stocks to determine if they are a good buy in terms of valuation.
Disclosure: Vanina Egea holds no position in any stocks mentioned.
Stocks Discussed: PFE, MRK, NVS, SNY, DIS, JNJ,

Finding a child's strength makes for a show of talents in Newington
By GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent | December 25. 2012 8:26PM
Aidan Mott,9, uses an augmentative communication device to help his classmates tell a Christmas story during a special celebration at the Birchtree Center in Newington on Friday. (Courtesy)
Her two sons, Liam, 11, and Owen, 9, both have autism and while attending more typical public schools did not have roles in such activities, she said.
Seeing her sons participate in a talent show at the Birchtree Center on Friday, showing off their individual strengths, was the best Christmas present she could receive.
Her sons began attending the nonprofit school for students with severe autism in February and March.
On Friday, while the school celebrated the holidays, it celebrated its 10th anniversary.
They started with four students in a small space in Portsmouth and have grown to accommodate 34 students in a much larger facility in Newington.
During the celebration, students sang songs, told stories using assistive devices, put up decorations and delivered a cake for everyone to enjoy.
"This is great because they took, not just my kids, but all the kids' strengths and gave them a role," Dana Read said. "It is nice for them to participate and succeed because they are doing the things they can do."
Read said it was also nice to be able to just sit back and enjoy the performance.
"Usually I have to be my child's support, but Birchtree does it for us so we can enjoy this in the way other parents get to enjoy their children's performances," Read said.
Sandra Peirce-Jordan, executive director at Birchtree, said her staff came up with the idea of the winter celebration/birthday party.
"It really was just a staff decision to come together and celebrate 10 years of Birchtree and the season in a way that works for our families," Peirce-Jordan said.
Read said in Birchtree she finally found a place where her children can thrive.
"They are not trying to stick a round peg into a square hole. It is a perfect fit and I think today is a perfect example of that," Read said.

Need this question answered!!
Hey guys i have a 350 turbo transmission and 2800-3200 stall in my car with a 4:11 gear behind it. if i installl a 4 or 5 speed manual will it lower my rpms and allow me to have better top end speed? if so what trannys should i look to be getting for a decent price that will hold up to hot rodding a 400 hp small block? any feed back would be nice
Ayuh,... Unless ya go to an Over-drive transmission, the overall gear ratio will be the same...
Unless yours is a lock-up converter (doubtful) it slips. All the time. By various amounts. At near red-line speeds, figure about 7 to 10 percent slipage. How well the manual transmission will work will depend largely on how well you work the manual transmission.
The money you're going to spend re-arranging everything might better be spent by adding an overdrive to what you already have.
Gear Vendors under/overdrive transmissions the most awarded auxiliary transmissions.
if u want to keep it auto, then a 200R will bolt right in.. hopeing u have a short tail.. just need the lock up conv..
The gear vendors is a great unit.. It will run you about 3K to buy the unit.
It will give you a 22% Overdrive.
You may be able to do a trans swap cheaper.
Having an overdrive generally doesn't add any top end, most engine's (contrary to "Car and Driver" and "Road and Track" calculated top speed based on the enigne's red line times the top gear ratio) cannot pull those RPMs in an overdrive ratio and often can't pull redline in 1 to 1. So in and of itself OD will reduce cruise RPMs but won't necessarily add top end road speed.
Your 4.11 is not any help in gaining top speed..And has been said the convertor is probably showing some slippage as well.. Hard to say if changing the trans will help you much if any as you are getting into the area of aerodyamics as well..Top speed cars are a whole different deal than drag cars so figure on some $$$$$ to change it over..
Don't know your tire diameter, but a 26" tire, 6000 rpm, high gear (1.0 ratio), with 4.11 rear results in about 116 mph. 400hp ought to pull to that no problem. To go faster, you need a higher rpm, taller tire, or lower gear (less than 4.11), or some combination of those. As was mentioned earlier, go too far, and you won't really go any faster, you'll just turn a lower rpm and take longer to get there.
which would you have?
ok so i thank everyone for answering my other post but now i would like to know what would you rather have.. if you had a 1978 camaro and a soild 400 hp small block and a 4:11 posi track....and this was just a street car....would you rather have a good manual 4 or 5 speed or a automatic??? i cant decide i love driving manuals but i already have a turbo 350 in it......
78 Camaro = fat heavy car,lose some weight. I put a T400 in my 80 Camaro because the T350 came apart twice. Put taller tires on the car and see how that works for you(borrow them for a day) A muncie,plus heavy leaf spring car plus 10 bolt diff plus burn outs === expensive. count on breaking spider gears,wheel hop is a possibility, The muncie will break on occasion if you dont upgrade the case.
The car is too heavy so most of the parts will eventually break,including the clutch.
How did you arrive at the 400 horse power figure?
5800 rpmx26 inch tall tire=top speed of 110 ish
6500 rpm x 29 tall tire = 135 ish top speed

DERRY TOWNSHIP — State police at Greensburg arrested two men and charged them with robbery at a tavern in Derry Township, Westmoreland County, early Saturday.
Police said Tara Hutter, of Derry, and William Cowan, of Blairsville, were leaving Tommasini's Tavern at approximately 2:45 a.m. Saturday when two men approached them brandishing handguns. The two armed men ordered Hutter and Cowan to a parking lot behind the bar and onto the ground. The victims were then robbed of their money and cellphones, police said.
The bandits ran away along the railroad tracks.
Police said an investigation into an earlier unrelated robbery led them to charge Andrew Brunetto, 18, of Levittown, and Richard Lenhart, 31, of Derry, as suspects in the tavern robbery.
Brunetto and Lenhart were charged with conspiracy, robbery, simple assault, recklessly engendering another person, terroristic threats, theft and criminal mischief, and were placed in the Westmoreland County Jail.

During h is whirlwnd tour of Turkey, Vice President Dick Cheney was told by Turkish officials they have no desire to interfere with the internal affairs of Iraq and their sole goal is eliminating Kurdish rebels. A diplomat, who is familiar with the discussions, noted: "We have told him that our sole problem with northern Iraq is the presence of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party(PKK). The diplomat emphasized Turkey was ready to develop positive relations with the semi-autonomous government in Kurdistan. "Turkey's policy toward Iraq is clear: Improving cooperation in every field including economy, trade, energy, and culture."
So far, the only comment made by Cheney regarding his visit, which was specifically added to his agenda by President Bush, dealt with his visit to what he termed, "Kurdistan." He said: "The Kurds have done very well, in terms of their development of their economy." Cheney most probably urged Turkey to deal with the PKK but avoid adding to the problems of the Iraq government. Prime Minister Erdogan told the media the United States was cooperating in the fight against Kurdistan terrorism.
Although, Cheney emphasizes the importance of creating a stable central govenment in Iraq, he referred to "Kurdistan" and described its government as though it were the government of a separate nation. One can only wonder if he realized the implications of his choice of words.

I'm getting ready to launch Home for Evolving Mystics, an on-line learning community, exploring evolutionary spirituality. It will be a home for those who locate themselves within the lineage of Jesus, and those who do not—those who may follow other religious lineages, identify as spiritual but not religious, including atheists. A few people have expressed concern about the term "mystic", wondering if that term included them. Here's my take on what a mystic is, and then you can decide if you are a mystic, or even better, leave a comment about what makes for a mystic.
Let's start with a very down-to-Earth definition from English poet, novelist, and mystic, Evelyn Underhill (1875-1941): "Mysticism is the art of union with Reality. We know a thing by uniting with it; by assimilating it; by an interpenetration of it and ourselves." A mystic has such a commitment to metabolize one's experience so deeply that he becomes one with it. What passes for "reality"in conventional society is seen as mere appearance. Below, above, behind, within these appearances is the beating heart of the Real.
A mystic is what it meant to be human before Adam and Eve reached for the fig leaf, before shame caused a contraction, generating an illusion of separation from reality.
A mystic is one who pauses before a meal and gives heartfelt thanks for the plants and animals who metabolized
the sun's energy, filling us with light and energy, and the heartfelt desire to make of this priceless sacrifice, an offering of beauty with one's life.
A mystic is one who has displayed the courage to look into her soul mate's eyes, knowing that love, like holy acid, will strip the veneer of personality down to the very grain of Selfhood, and knowing that the world will care little for the revealed beauty, and that when all is said and done, there will be nothing about this apocalypse that will help to pay the mortgage.
A mystic is one who has discovered that there actually is no self, only a Selfing process that is a living universe in an evolving soul, having a human experience for a short time upon this unlikely planet.
A mystic at some point along the journey just got tired, very tired, of the endless vigilance required to sustain all the self-images that have helped him to prove, and justify, and bully, and seduce the world into loving him. Tired of being tired, and realizing that the cost of vulnerability is not nearly as high as the cost of pride, the mystic surrenders to Love.
The mystic steps outside, fills her lungs with the morning air, and intuits that it's all one energy, transformed, shape-shifted into the diversity of what she sees and feels and hears—that the hummingbird's whir is the sound of the whole universe seeking nectar for whatever is next.
The mystic has learned to love the unknown and the unknowable as the Great Mystery that cannot be comprehended, but which if we're lucky will apprehend us, every now and then, reminding us to rest in the perfection of this and every moment.
A mystic never lets a crisis go to waste, wrestling, like Jacob with the stranger, until he finds the hidden blessing within his fear, and then goes limping across the river Jabbok, to claim a lost Love that kept him from breathing, from being breathed by G_d, for all these years.
A mystic is one who grieves openly and often upon discovering how much life she has missed by investing in the superficial.
A mystic laughs and dances and sings an unusual amount, and paints his toenails blue, and realizes that he truly does not care what the boys in the locker room think.
A mystic accepts reality as it comes to her, not as she wishes it were, knowing that there is no blessing in a life of denial and wishful thinking.
A mystic has replaced, through grace and gentle discipline, compulsive yearning with Holy Yearning, the Spirit's sighing through her, for a world that our hearts know is possible (Charles Eisenstein).
A mystic that he is one with a blessed unrest, from which a universe is born, and continues to evolve.
"Mystics are artists, and the stuff in which they work is most often human life. They want to heal the disharmony between the actual and the real; and since, in the white-hot radiance of that faith, hope, and charity which burns in them, they discern such a reconciliation to be possible, they are able to work for it with a singleness of purpose and an invincible optimism denied to others"
—Evelyn Underhill

Lockhaven Tenants Union make new demands for GRE during rally last Sunday
"Goodman! Goodman! You can't hide. We can see your greedy side!" was a popular mantra members of the Tenant's Union of Washington, Lockhaven Tenants Union and Theodora Rescue Committee shouted as they marched through Ballard last Sunday, April 27.
The group was demonstrating against what they called John Goodman's (Chairman of Goodman Real Estate) "retaliation" against union members. Demonstrators marched over a mile from Ballard Commons Park to Goodman's home and personal marina, Golden Tides, near Rays Boat House. They stopped at Lockhaven on the way.
GRE bought Lockhaven last year and sent over 20 eviction notices to tenants without the proper license to do so. After obtaining a tenant Relocation License from the City last month, GRE sped up the relocation schedule for five Lockhaven tenants. Three happened to be Lockhaven Union members. One member's relocation timeline was sped up from five months to one.
"Though Goodman committed to transparent, honest communication, he went back on his word and retaliated against tenants organizing by accelerating their evictions four to six months earlier than promised," wrote the Tenant's Union of Washington.
The group demanded that 50 of the over 100 units at Lockhaven stay affordable housing.
"If you look at Goodman's private marina, clearly he has enough money to make a minor and reasonable concession like that so the working class have a place to live," said Jonathan Grant, Executive Director of the Washington Tenants Union.
The groups also demanded that the displaced Lockhaven tenants receive more time to move and more relocation assistance from GRE.
"The City has forced him to comply with the Tenants Relocation Assistance Ordinance which will help some low income tenants move. But there are many tenants that live paycheck to paycheck and they're working class and not going to qualify for that, so we're asking for relocation assistance for that group as well."
John Metz, Owner and Tenant Assistance Supervisor with the Seattle Department of Development and Planning, said up to this point all the eligible Lockhaven tenants have received their relocation assistance and there have been no application appeals.
He also said that besides GRE's first 20-eviction mistake, GRE has been compliant with the law.
"Quite frankly once they got on track they were totally compliant and that has been our experience with them. They just got off to the bad start," said Metz.
Metz said that he worked with GRE in the past with the relocation of tenants from the Addison Building downtown on Fourth Street. GRE purchased the building in 2012 and installed a hybrid solar-thermal system, displacing tenants.
"The tenant population was more vulnerable. They were a section 8 population and GRE managed it well. I was surprised they stumbled with Lockhaven because they did such a good job with the Addison Project."
GRE reported that in addition to providing their own relocation specialist, they also have provided more than $25 thousand in relocation assistance to those who needed help on top of the $34 thousand they provided for the City of Seattle Relocation Assistance Program.
For the extra assistance provided by GRE to Lockhaven tenants, Metz said "I really credit them for doing that because they are under no obligation aside from the Tenants Relocation Assistance."
The future could hold more union action against GRE.
The Theodora in Ravenna is one of last HUD (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) subsidized low income housing in Seattle. Currently GRE is looking into purchasing the property. The Theodora Rescue Committee and the Washington Tenants Union believe GRE will convert the Theodora into luxury apartments and charge market rates, displacing tenants in the process. They ask that GRE exit from the sale agreement and allow time for a non-profit to purchase the building.
"We've had conversations with a number of non-profit providers, and what we've heard is there is interest if Goodman backs out of the purchase and sale agreement, and that they would try to preserve the building if given an opportunity to do so," said Grant.

How it happens

I'd never done a planted tank before sooooo....I thought that more would be better in the beginning. I'm pretty sure I was wrong.
Here is the tank the first day I set it up.
1 Attachment(s)
A month and a half later I realized the Anubias was not doing so well planted in the substrate but everything else was showing promise (sorry about my terrible photography skills - yes the date stamp on the camera is wrong too)
2 Attachment(s)
I noticed my DIY CO2 diffuser was not living up to my expectations as the wooden airstone was letting out one single larger stream of CO2 bubbles. I also added water sprite this day. I didn't know what I was in for with this move. Yes those are cat prints on the glass. He likes the heat from the lights.
The anubias needs to be tied to something like that driftwood. Anubias and java ferns shouldn't be placed under the substrate.
The wooden CO2 diffuser probably got a layer of biofilm over it, clogging the pores in the wood. Just throw on an airstone piece and it should work fine.

Thanks for the reply. I upgraded to a glass and ceramic diffuser in Dec 2012. It made a world of difference. I've been very tempted add pressurized CO2 as I have access to it cheap being in construction, but I'm leery about having a poisonous gas in the house with my family. The Anubias I attached to the large driftwood the day I added my broad-leaf Ludwigia. World of difference! The roots have attached and are growing out of the bottom of the driftwood.
CO2 isn't poisonous, it is inert. It is only if the room is closed and all the gas escapes that it is dangerous at all. One danger is if the needle valve is bumped too much gas could kill your livestock and that can happen with curious kids around. My needle valve locks down so that cannot happen.
Looking good!
sorry Kathyy you're right, not poisonous but harmful if enough can replace the oxygen (inert) in my kids lungs if there's an above average exposure to it. Are you using pressurized CO2. I checked out your 180. That's very nice.

The A. Ulvaceus started to take over the tank so I re-homed it :icon_cry: Also my rams started losing color so I put them back in their original tank. Levels seemed ok but they weren't happy about something.
4 Attachment(s)
Then an unexpected need to travel and a last minute WC before I left....chaos ensued. I lost three dwarf neon rainbows and my male and female threadfin rainbow due to something in my treated tap water. Never like using it and should have never used it. A lesson I keep learning over and over and over.
Well I haven't made any changes now for a bit. Just maintaining and trimming my fantastically growing water sprite and the red Ludwigia. My "lutea" and red Wendtii is out of control, my HC is growing slowly but spreading, my Java Fern looks "hot" and my Anubias have settled in and sprouts a few leaves of appreciation now and again. It's out of control madness, but goodness.

The Presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes
by Ari Arthur Hoogenboom
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English (2)
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0700603387, Hardcover)This interpretation of the Hayes administration contradicts the widely held view that Hayes was an inept politician and an ineffective leader. Hoogenboom argues that it was Hayes's character and personality that set his presidency apart in the Gilded Age. This volume covers all issues, decisions, and developments during the Hayes presidency--from the withdrawal of troops from Louisiana and South Carolina that signalled the end of Reconstruction, through the Great Strike of 1877--the most violent general strike in American history--and the Nez Perce War, to the struggle for civil service reform and the fight to preserve voting rights. Hoogenboom credits Hayes with being a patient reformer, principled but practical, cautious yet courageous. His honesty and decency echoed the pristine values of the early American Republic, while his attempts to rally support by emphasizing issues and policies--rather than by relying on political organization--anticipated the style of twentieth-century presidents.

Ignoring McCain's immigration reversal, NBC's Mitchell said "dramatic shift in the Hispanic vote" toward Obama is a "sad irony for John McCain"
Research ››› ››› MORGAN WEILAND
Andrea Mitchell said it was "a great irony, a sad irony, for John McCain" that Hispanic voters are "shifting to Barack Obama" even though McCain "lost his Republican base ... partly on supporting immigration reform." But Mitchell did not note that McCain reversed his position on immigration reform, aligning himself more closely with the GOP base, or that McCain stated that he would not support his own reform bill if it came up for a vote in the Senate.
During the November 3 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe, NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell said that among the "underreported things we've been talking among ourselves about that we have not paid enough attention to is this dramatic shift in the Hispanic vote." She went on to assert that "it is really a great irony, a sad irony, for [Sen.] John McCain if it turns out this way because he was such an early supporter. He lost his Republican base ... partly on supporting immigration reform. And that endeared him to so many Hispanic voters, and now they are shifting to Barack Obama." However, Mitchell did not note that McCain reversed his position on immigration reform, aligning himself more closely with the GOP base. McCain abandoned his support for the immigration bill he co-sponsored with Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA), saying, during CNN's January 30 Republican presidential primary debate, that he would no longer vote for it if it came up for a vote in the Senate. During the debate, Los Angeles Times staff writer Janet Hook asked McCain, "At this point, if your original proposal came to a vote on the Senate floor, would you vote for it?" McCain responded: "No, I would not, because we know what the situation is today. The people want the borders secured first."
As Media Matters for America has repeatedly noted, McCain's position that "we've got to secure the borders first" is at odds with his prior assertion that border security could not be disaggregated from other aspects of comprehensive immigration reform without being rendered ineffective.
In a June 20 Politico article, journalist Gebe Martinez reported on McCain's reversal on immigration:
McCain, the Arizona senator, dismayed Latinos last year when he stepped back from his immigration bill that would have tightened the borders and legalized undocumented immigrants. As boos and hisses from angry Republican conservatives grew louder at campaign events, he switched course and vowed to "first" secure the borders. Were his failed bill to come up again, he would not vote for it, he said.
Trying to regain Latino support, McCain has chastised Republicans who stoke the fires of the immigration at election time. And at a private meeting with Chicago-area Latinos last week, he promised to push for a comprehensive immigration bill.
"It sounds like he's trying to have it both ways, and it's not convincing anyone," said Frank Sharry, who also was involved in immigration bill negotiations when he headed the National Immigration Forum.
This is not the McCain Hispanics thought they knew. Even after the 2001 terrorist attacks placed an emphasis on national security, McCain's speeches to Latino audiences and on the Senate floor prioritized the compassionate side of the immigration argument.
He understood that border security "first" means "deportation only" in the eyes of immigrant activists, and he championed a broader approach.
As the Senate mulled immigration in 2006, McCain often stood in the Capitol's corridors, pounding his fist in the air, arguing that border enforcement would not work without simultaneously penalizing employers who hire workers illegally, creating a temporary worker program and finding a way to bring 12 million illegal immigrants "out of the shadows" of society.
"It won't work! It won't work!" he protested of suggestions to do enforcement first. The stool cannot stand on one leg.
Mitchell joined other media figures on MSNBC who have ignored McCain's immigration reversal or asserted that McCain has not changed his position.
From the November 3 edition of MSNBC's Morning Joe:
MITCHELL: One of the other under -- underreported things we've been talking among ourselves about that we have not paid enough attention to is this dramatic shift in the Hispanic vote.
MIKA BRZEZINSKI (co-host): Mmm-hmm. Absolutely.
MITCHELL: What I think you're gonna likely see is -- and it is really a great irony, a sad irony, for John McCain --
BRZEZINSKI: Yes.
MITCHELL: -- if it turns out this way, because he was such an early supporter. He lost his Republican base partly -- partly on, of course, campaign finance reform, but partly on supporting immigration reform. And that endeared him to so many Hispanic voters, and now they are shifting to Barack Obama.
BRZEZINSKI: It doesn't appear to be panning out for him.
CHUCK TODD (NBC News political director): Obama has -- Obama has a three-legged stool of young new voters, African-Americans, and Hispanics --
BRZEZINSKI: Yes.
TODD: -- and he's winning 'em all overwhelmingly -- three, two to one, two-and-a-half to one. You put that together, you talked about the evangelical advantage that Bush had in '04, it created this buffer --
BRZEZINSKI: Right.
TODD: -- it created a padding that he had so that he, he could lose swing voters. That's what's going on with Obama. He can lose some voters in the middle if they're race-sensitive, because he's got this incredibly strong three-legged stool of support -- of base support -- that I don't know, that McCain does not have the equivalent of.

Creating a hole in the wall to run wires, a good idea?
1 Attachment(s)
I've been trying to figure out a way to get the wires from the tv to the basement where the media stuff is but I'm stumped so I'm thinking the best way is to make a small 2x2 inch hole on the bottom of the wall so I can fish the wire through the floor boards and then up to the tv(behind the wall there is a hole already). Is this a good idea, I have a patch kit but I'm wondering if there is possibly an better approach to this?
Drill up from the basement into the stud bay. Drive a snake up to the hole you have behind the TV.
AV wiring
I have seen AV wiring kits at home improvement stores that include wall plates for making these holes in the drywall look like they belong there.
I'm hoping there is enough wire going to the outlet from the switch(if that's where it comes from) to move the outlet up behind the tv. If I do that then I can use that hole anyways before I patch it. I'm going to try and drill up through the floor tonight, what's the best way to try and measure where I should drill up to get as close to the center of the wall as possible?
Leave the wall outlet where it is. Open the box,pull out the outlet and punch out one of the top knock outs. Push your snake up the wall where the hole for the TV outlet will be. Attach piece of romex and pull it back down into the box. Make the connections and your done.
You should be able to run all your wires from the outlet box behind the TV. There's no need to open any other holes in the wall.
You can't move that lower outlet in any case. The wires are stapled to the studs and are drawn through holes in the framing.
The part is I don't know where to drill up from the basement. I'm going to have to measure from walls or something to get a baring on where that wall is and then try to drill up between the wall and not in front or behind.
Make sure you drill the hole on the correct side of the wire.

I never really considered myself an emotional person. That is, until recently. Something about being 30 has weakened my strength to hold back the flood gates. It is not unusual for me to get that choked up feeling when the bride is walking down the aisle with her father. I dreamed of my father walking me down the aisle my whole life and when it actually happened the moment couldn't have been more perfect. Kelly and Joel's wedding however, brought out a whole new level of emotions for me that I have yet to display at a wedding. I am not ashamed of it. The amazing, pure, unconditional love that I witnessed throughout the day was such a blessing to be a part of. The way Joel looks at Kelly and even speaks about her when she is not around should be the standard for what every woman deserves. I wasn't going into the "getting ready" shots expecting to cry. But when Van from Ocean Blue Videography took a few minutes to ask Kelly what she loved about Joel the tears came. Kelly was crying and I was in the corner of the room hiding my tears as she poured out her love for Joel. I go
t to experience that same love all over again when Van asked Joel the same questions in his hotel room. This time was the same, only Van was tearing up behind her video camera. It was such a beautiful thing to experience and I know everyone who got to be there for those moments will always cherish them. This is why I love my job. I get to relive every couple's unique and very special love story.
I have known Kelly since college. She was a year ahead of me in school, but I remember always admiring her confidence, poise, and beauty. I knew Kelly was going to make a gorgeous bride, but when I saw her for the first time in her dress I don't think the word 'gorgeous' could have done her justice. It is no wonder that tears came when Joel saw her for the first time walking down the aisle. Congratulations Kelly and Joel! And if you ever need a side gig, you could be bride and groom models! Thanks again for giving me the great honor to capture your wedding day!
P.S. If you have have the option to get a smoke machine for the dancing at your wedding, Do It! That reception was AWESOME!
A special thanks to Wade, my second shooter, for all his awesome shots, taking care of the guys, and having an extra flash when mine broke right before the grand entrance! I am now the proud owner of a backup flash!
Right before the kiss the minister said, "Joel, set the standard for how every woman should be kissed! You may kiss your bride!" He nailed it! 😉
Their wedding was at The Mountain Winery in Saratoga! Beautiful venue with amazing views of the valley below!
