Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Ideal Meal
3.2 Pounds
The Ideal Meal was specifically developed to provide the vital nutrients which are crucial to the bodys ability to build quality muscle tissue and strength. This product is based upon proven nutritional concepts which are the principles of strength and fitness.
Protein, and only protein, can build and repair muscle tissue. The Ideal Meal provides you with a protein blend unmatched in this industry. It is comprised of four types of whey proteins, plus agglomerated egg albumen and calcium caseinate for texture and taste. This blend of unique, high quality protein includes a high percentage of Ion Exchange whey protein isolate, hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, and the main protein is micro, ultra filtered whey protein concentrate containing high amounts of branch chain amino acids. The Ideal Meal contains 40 grams of high quality protein per serving. Our whey comes from Land O Lakes (the leader in whey technology) and not from an inferior source.
The body performs most effectively when energy is provided from complex carbohydrates. The Ideal Meal provides 22 grams of carbohydrates to help ensure that your body will conserve protein for building muscle tissue and not consume the muscles as an energy source. The Ideal Meal is the
most potent growth formula ever developed. The Ideal Meal also contains the vitamins and minerals necessary to speed up the process of converting protein into muscle mass. These nutrients are essential in the conversion of food into energy, tissue growth and repair, and most importantly building lean body mass. The Ideal Meal makes up a total nutrient package that will provide you with unquestionable gains in muscle growth and strength as well as speed up recovery time. Unfortunately, in todays busy world, it is sometimes difficult to eat regularly. With The Ideal Meal you do not need to find, shop for, prepare, and consume healthy meals day in and day out. The Ideal Meal is a complete meal with 50% of all your daily vitamins and minerals along with high protein content without saturated fat. It is next to impossible to eat 40 grams of quality protein, as well as limit a meal to 22 grams of carbohydrates with no saturated fat. The Ideal Meal is assayed for purity and potency and is made from only the highest quality material available in the health industry. Other companies may try to raise the serving size to increase protein content, but look at The Ideal Meals protein ratio, then compare this to that of the other leading products.
The Ideal Meal only uses the leader in whey technology, Land O Lakes, whey proteins as the majority of its protein blend. Try The Ideal Meal and see how we are light years ahead of our competition.
The Ideal Meal mixes instantly and tastes great! Our flavoring experts incorporated the revolutionary sweetener Neotame® making it the best tasting meal replacement available! Neotame® to do accomplish this. There is no better tasting meal replacement or protein powder available!
The Ideal Meal is available in 3.2 lb. (20 serving) containers in a delicious vanilla formula, chocolate, strawberry and orange creamsicle.
The Ideal Meal has also been fortified with our Nitrogen Recovery System hydrolyzed whey peptides, glutamine, L-Arginine Alpha Keto Glutarate, L-Arginine Keto ISO Caproate, L-Arginine, and Taurine, which has been shown to maintain nitrogen balance, accelerate muscle recover, and strengthen the immune system. A proprietary blend of digestive aids has also been included to help digestion and assimilation.

Social Media in the Classroom: A Field Guide
We want our students to be good people, good citizens, and good friends. Now, as technology grows more and more present in our students' lives, we need to teach them how to be responsible internet users, too. After all, we are teaching the next generation of tweeters, texters, and viral video sharers.
The idea of tweeting in class may not appeal to some teachers, especially those with a technology ban, but several case studies have proved that controlled use of social media in the classroom is an easy way to boost engagement. Math teachers use Instagram to share math jokes and homework assignments, and elementary school teachers use it to feature colorful student work.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Guess it's back to the shop. I'm not made of money, so no gear vendor!
Well, the 400 will cost maybe 600 to 800 to buy then have built. Add another 2500 for the GV OD, plus the crossmember mods, drive shaft mods and you will have a ton of bucks in it. You might try taking it to a different shop and have them drop the valve body and check the ball count. Depends on the year. Later models that have an aux valve body will have one ball in there too. It could be a simple fix that might not cost more than 50 or 100 bucks for piece of mind.
Some shift kits call for leaving out one ball too, could be it just ended up in the pan by accident. Hard to tell.
TV cable is not a big deal either. If you have a Qjet, it will probably go in fine. If a Edelbrock or Holley, all you will need is a simple linkage adaptor for the carb linkage.
got to thinking, if you measured the ball at .125, this 1/8". NONE of the check balls in the 700 are that small. All of mine were at least 1/4". Something to think about anyways, i'm no expert but just did my 700. Not quite finished yet but very close.
|i put the 700r4 in my vette and i like it...go to the www.700r4.com.... website and you can find articles on how to adjust the TV cable...its really not that hard....just make sure you have the base plate for the carb that is set up for the TV cable.....i'm wondering if the TV cable spring plunger has a ball in it???? i can't remember off hand that website has instructions on changing springs i will have to look there and see what i can find....just checked and the plunger i was thinking of does not have ball bearing in it....
SCRAP THE 700r4? TH400/GearVendor?
I sure could use some help. Got 383 with 4:10 gears in my 66 Chevelle. Complete ground up. The project has taken years. I was going to install a 700R4. Had it rebuilt well over a year ago. Finally ready to drop in the motor / trans. Dropped the pan on the trans.to dink with the cable, only to find a ball bearing loose in the pan!! Now the shop that did the rebuilt won't touch it, out of warranty!! I couldn't believe it!
I don't know squat about the 700R4 except I think the overdrive fits with the gears. I DO know this stray bearing can't be good news.Where should it be? It's about .125 dia.
Anyway, heard nightmares about the TV cable thing too, so.....
What about a TH350 or TH400 with GEAR VENDOR Overdrive? What do you think? Anyone have experience with G/R?

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. –
Offensive and defensive linemen, as well as Tennessee high school
standouts, were the primary ingredients among the 24 signees
announced Wednesday by Tennessee Tech football head coach Watson
The defending Ohio Valley Conference champions listed six defensive linemen and five offensive linemen among the 24 signees, while 18 of the group hail from in-state schools. The group also included three players from Georgia and one each from Alabama, California and Ohio.
In addition to the 11 linemen, the signing class includes three receivers, two safeties, two quarterbacks, two linebackers, two runningbacks, one cornerback and one punter/kicker.
"We're excited about this group," said Brown, who led Tech to the 2011 OVC championship and Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. "Each class gets a little stronger, and this is the best one we've had. We were able to meet the immediate needs that we went after."
Brown said his staff focused on the offensive and defensive line positions because the Golden Eagles had several holes to fill.
"We feel very good about the entire class," Brown said. "We had a lot of linemen, but we also have a lot of exciting skill plays on the offensive side in this class.
"This was a big year for offensive linemen for us, and we think we hit all the positions that we needed to fill. We have five very good players coming in and they will be our future. We knew we had to have depth in the offensive line, and we accomplished that.
"It's the same thing on the other side with the defensive line," Brown added. "We lost so many last year and this year, and we'll lose some more next year, so we needed to bring some in for the defensive line."
"Overall, we hit our needs and we're excited about the opportunity to have so many in-state kids. This was a good year in the state of Tennessee," Brown said.
The list includes 23 current high school seniors and one junior college signee.
Several of the signees this year, as well as those of the past two years, have experience playing at Tennessee Tech having led their teams to TSSAA state championship appearances in Tucker Stadium.

Re: 2001 Northstar - Head Gaskets blown or not?? I'm stumped!!
i forgot it was you that had the piston repair also (and you sent me that parts list too) ...
so now you're saying that some of those bolts they replaced have pulled?
IIRC they had put inserts in your block, right? or did they just replace the headbolts? (which would be a big no-no any time you have a pre2005 N* head off)

Re: 2001 Northstar - Head Gaskets blown or not?? I'm stumped!!
Well...your guess is as good as mine on what they did or did not do. Nature of the prior repair dictated head removal, given that all pistons were replaced by dealer under prior owner.
They did NOT install serts...so no thread repairs done. Did they reuse the head bolts or replace? I suspect replaced since the new bolts are part of the OEM head gasket kits that were in the parts list. Evidently the dealer tech fool simply slapped on the heads with no regard for the well known thread failure issue. Even if none were failed at the time...I can't imagine him just slapping it back together without repairing the threads. Prior owner knew nothing about all this, so it's not like he opted away from thread repair costs.
Oh wait...it was a service policy repair. So...evidently policy company was calling the shots...shame-shame. Mr Goodwrench still should have notified prior owner to at least advise and give him the option if service policy wasn't gonna cover the extra work. If done at that time, extra cost wouldn't have been all that much.
So yes...3 of 20 head bolt threads were clearly failed when I removed them. I'll be repairing all 20 obviously...will be using Norm's Serts.
Re: 2001 Northstar - Head Gaskets blown or not?? I'm stumped!!
reusing head bolts is VERBOTEN per the FSM
very very unlikely that they did that (especially since you paid for new bolts, like you said)
Re: 2001 Northstar - Head Gaskets blown or not?? I'm stumped!!
I really like your 5/8" tap and rod procedure - it leaves the exterior of the dowel in perfect condition!
Re: 2001 Northstar - Head Gaskets blown or not?? I'm stumped!!
i didn't think that the dowels are really meant to be reused... we always put new ones in
Re: 2001 Northstar - Head Gaskets blown or not?? I'm stumped!!
Mine were marred/knurled on the outside by the vice grip jaws - I just took off the high spots and they went right in. I actually installed them upside down, so the part that was sticking out of the block that was marred went inside the block upon re-install, and the part that was in the block and essentially perfect was left exposed for the head to fit over. It might have been a little rinky dink, I agree, but it's not really a critical area and all I can say is it worked for me.
Re: 2001 Northstar - Head Gaskets blown or not?? I'm stumped!!
yeah i understand
Re: 2001 Northstar - Head Gaskets blown or not?? I'm stumped!!
Hello all -
Well, for anybody that may care or recall all my dialog regarding the head bolts issue with my 01 Eldorado...I FINALLY decided to finish my little project. Work and other life drama pulled me away from my project for over a year after having dropped the engine and pulled the heads - though I had already bought all parts necessary to repair.
Ok well, I finally jumped back on my project and almost completed. Jakes Inserts installed, engine reassembled (including timing), engine reinstalled in the car - finally. Took me a week of solid 8-10 hours days (took me longer than expected, but I took things slow and deliberate, plus cleaned and explored along the way). So now I'm at stage of all under the hood stuff remaining. Must reconnect wiring, vacuum lines, throttle body, grounds, radiator, A/C, etc - all the really hard work is done!!
I did amaze myself that I had pretty good recall on where I had left my project over a year earlier. Plus I had tagged everything pretty well and duct taped all bolts/nuts to their associated parts - so reassembly went very well - so far. Getting the engine back into the car - I could have used a shoe horn but went reasonably well - slow and deliberate, a few inches at a time, connecting things back up and fine tuning the alignment along the way. I did have alignment paint marks on the floor (made when I removed the engine) and other little helpful hints for myself - so reassembly/reinstall went remarkably well - only very minor coaxing required with final alignments.
Very close to final project end - wish me luck!! Maybe another week of part time effort remains once I get back to it. I also did a fair amount of preventive maintenance as well while I had easy access, including replacing alternator, crank sensors and throttle body boot. One thing I thought about doing but did NOT do was to replace the starter/solenoid - hope that decision doesn't come back to bite me in short order considering its location - yikes. It had no issues prior to tear down, but then same case with the alternator. So why didn't I replace it? Let a sleeping dog lay perhaps? I just kept thinking about getting a DOA Refurb or the refurb unit failing on me remature vs. the factory original that's on it now. Cross my fingers on that decision - have not seen any forum history of there being a weak starter to be concerned about.
In any case - amazing learning experience this project has been. I know much more today about the Northstar and all points in between from where I was when I began. A similar repeat project would be MUCH easier - first one is all a BIG lesson every step of the way. Noth too complicated though overall - but IS a very time consuming effort overall. WAS FUN!! I really enjoyed the challanges!!
Re: 2001 Northstar - Head Gaskets blown or not?? I'm stumped!!
BTW - a tip for those DARN dowels...
Nothing I could come up with would remove those pesky beasts!! So here is how I soved the problem and I worked perfectly...
1. Whacked off top of the pins with a cutter (leaving 1/2 inch or so.
2. Took dremel grinding bit in a drill and ground out one section of each dowel to weaken it (careful not to go all the way through)
3. Collapsed the dowel into itself, also using gentle coaxing with a chisel down the ground area and a screw driver down the sides once dowel was collapsed.
4. Pliers then and a little wiggling - dowels slipped right out easily and zero damage to block, block surface or the holes.
5. New dowels were installed as I reassembled engine after having installed Jakes Inserts.
Those babies were IMPOSSIBLE to remove for me without the above steps taken - this was MY remedy and I've seen many others offering tips, so not saying my solution was best way - was simply "my" way.

Re: 2001 Northstar - Head Gaskets blown or not?? I'm stumped!!
The other way is to insert a length of threaded rod into the dowel and then tack weld it to the dowel. Drop a pipe over it. Put a washer over the threaded rod and then a nut. Tighten the nut and thus pull the dowel.
- 06-17-12 11:20 PM #104Originally Posted by bill buttermore
Yep many creative ways to get it done. I didn't have a welder nor a tapper with bolts. Just devised a way using what I had to work with. Those bad boys are a bear that folks should be warned about so as to prepare them with a list of ways/ideas on how to overcome without damage.
Jakes kit worked wonderful btw. Instructions could have been more clear on exact placement of the serts within the holes but norm quickly confirmed that I was reading placement correctly. .

text: When I apply light throttle at any speed I get a light driveline shudder, I noticed this seems to occur only when in V4 mode, or when it's right on the edge of V4 going to V8 mode. It's very annoying. When in trailer mode, the shudder goes away. This is my third escalade having owned a 08, 10, and now a 13 and I can't seem to remember this in my other vehicles. Is this just the way it is, or could something be wrong ?

Royal London Asset Management has converted its Royal London Exempt Property Unit Trust to a Property Authorised Investment Fund (PAIF).
By Jonathan Boyd, Editor-in-chief, Financial Express Tuesday June 08, 2010
RLAM says the change is intended to make the vehicle appeal to a broader range of investors, including multi-managers, wealth managers, and insurance companies – which will be able to invest through a feeder fund.
It is the first time that an existing property fund has been converted to a PAIF since rules allowing their creation were introduced by the FSA in 2008.
RLAM hopes that by attracting more investors, it will increase the pool of funds available to invest in bigger investment opportunities. As a PAIF the vehicle will be an OEIC, which means it can also access non-physical property asserts, including real estate investment trusts, ETFs and other collective investment vehicles.
The overall objective of the fund remains: to invest in a diversified range of UK commercial property.
Stephen Elliott, fund manager, says: "The broader appeal of our fund as a PAIF is an exciting development for us and we look forward to demonstrating the success of our philosophy and process to a greater number of potential investors."

Slipping in unnoticed under the roar of this months financial crises and ongoing presidential election coverage, a Senate panel voted on September 11 to allow visitors to carry loaded guns into Americas national parks.
Whats the rationale for this? According to the bill's description, the purpose of this bill is "to protect innocent Americans from violent crime in national parks.
Have we missed the news of a rampant crime spree in our parks?
Not according to statistics provided by the National Park Service. Here are the facts:
In 2007, a total of 275.6 million people made recreational visits to the 391 national parksand another 163.8 million visited for non-recreational purposesbut only six were victims of homicides. Three more sets of human remains were discovered in the parks, but the dates and nature of the deaths are not stated. Thats nine violent deaths, out of 439.4 million people. Not a city in America can claim that kind of safety record.
Of the six homicides, one actually took place 30 years ago, but was discovered in 2007 and the killer confessed. In virtually all of the cases, it appears that the victim knew his or her killer personally. One victim was pushed off a cliff, while another drove himself and his girlfriend off a cliff in Glen Canyon. A gun was involved in only one of the crimesa shooting over a drug debt.
Other violent crimes did take place in the parks: In 2007, the entire National Park System saw 49 attempted or committed rapes, 57 robberies involving a weapon, and two kidnappings. While there were nearly 3,000 cases of larceny or theft, these did not involve attacks on visitors.
In all instances except for rape, these figures are actually lower than the 2006 statistics.
If anything, crime has decreased in the national parks, and no one but the law enforcement rangers are carrying guns as protection.
So why, exactly, must we protect ourselves by carrying loaded weapons in some of the safest places in America?
Until now, most national parks have permitted guns to be carried through the parks, as long as they are safely stored in a car and are not loaded. Essentially, the law on the books allows transportation of guns, but no use in the parks. Hunting is not permitted in any national park, although many national recreation areas and wildlife refuges do allow (or even encourage) hunting on their grounds.
More than 50 senators are in favor of this change in national park regulations, and the National Rifle Association has made it a major plank in its 2008 platform. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne himself supports this regulatory change, with a caveat: The gun law should be decided based on each states existing laws. In essence, if a state allows guns in its state parks, it should allow them in its national parks as well. If the state has a no-gun law in its parks, the national parks in that state also would not permit loaded guns.
The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) has taken a strong stand to prevent the passage of this bill (S.2619 and H.R. 5434) in both the House and the Senate. These bills falsely claim that guns are not allowed in national parks, NPCAs website notes. This is not the case. The National Park Services policy does not allow loaded, concealed weapons in national parks. This is a reasonable policy.
Lets open the floor for discussion on this issue. Here are my questions:
1. Do you feel unsafe when you visit national parksand if so, why?
2. Will you feel safer if you know that some visitors are carrying loaded guns (or if you carry one yourself)?
Ill look forward to your comments.

Alan Rose: A few problems with your train of thought.
1. You seem to infer that guns should be banned where ever some committee deems the area to be safe. Who gets to be on this committee? How do you define safe?
2. Since at least a few park visitors are murdered, raped or robbed, I submit that National Parks are not safe. Safe parks would have no crime. I believe that one murder is just as notable as one hundred.
3. When I am in a National Park, alone in the wilderness as it were, and by chance become a victim of assault, who will come to my cry for help? Who will call 911? Will my assailant take a time out and allow me to unlock and load my weapon?
4. Please define "random violence."
5. Tell us about the swarms of concealed handgun permit holders who have "gone postal." You may find a handful. You will also find that permittees overall have a criminality rate markedly lower than the general population. Many practice shooting more than the police, who usually qualify once or twice a year, and they often have a better hit ratio in actual gunfights.
6. I have had to draw my weapon during an assault. No shots were fired. I may actually be alive today because I was able to defend myself. No one is going to take that right away. I look forward to visiting the National Parks, once I can do so without locking up my safety. Until then, this American is not welcome, and that's a shame.

Loden B. Kwik: Of course you're safer with a gun; that's why cops carry them.
Next question.

Dave Y: The National Park Service never had the authority to usurp the right of the citizens to bear arms for self defense.
That is the entire premise behind the effort to repeal the National Parks ban on self defense currently under review at the Department of the Interior and US Senate. Randi Minetor proclaimed that there is no rampant crime in National Parks, but that's just parroting the misleading half-truths of Karen Taylor-Goodrich and others at the National Park Service. Unfortunately, many people fall for this without a critical examination and "parrot" the public relations statements of NPS disguising it as reporting, or editorializing. Let's examine the "Parks are Safe" half truth.
According to NPS, they administer 79 million acres with another 5.5 million not under federal control. Using the former figure, if you combined all the acreage of NPS land you would have an area of 123,437.5 square miles, or equivalent to a ranking of 5th among the states, just larger than New Mexico, but smaller than Montana. The NPS likes to throw out figures using this land management but fails to mention that there are few, if any full time NPS "residents". There are no "inner city" issues to contend with. So, while on the surface it appears that 49 reported attempted rapes isn't too bad for 123.4 thousand square miles, you have to consider that there is essentially no population density in the National Parks per se. In fact, when you consider how sparse the population of the Parks is, their crime rate is significantly higher than most states. NPS tries to torture these numbers enough so that they will say what NPS wants. Unfortunately when you dig deeper into the figures, you realize that NPS, and the press who parrot these statistics as justification for not allowing citizens to defend themselves in National Parks are trying to pull a fast one on all of us.
NPS supporters fail to mention what the average response time to a 911 emergency is in a typical National Park. It isn't fast. Yes, if you're one of the unlucky 49 who are the victim of one of the attempted rapes, the act will be over and done with and your body buried before NPS rangers arrive on scene. Not a pleasant thought. Even More important though is that NPS has publicly admitted it cannot protect it's visitors on more than one occasion.
Back in 2003, a well known grass roots civil rights organization named the Virginia Citizens Defense League began work on a petition to amend the NPS weapons ban. Their petition, joined by over 4 dozen state and national organizations is currently under review at NPS and is primarily responsible for the change effort. Much of the data collected in this effort is hosted by a VCDL member at The National Park Service self defense ban repeal effort time line. Part of the petition process was to deliver copies of data to support the petition, which represented several hundred PAGES of newspaper articles, NPS Morning Reports showing violent crimes in National Parks and animal attacks. Yes, several hundred pages spanning 2 years. A great deal of these reports dealt with pot farming on NPS land. There are several parks where drug dealers have very large marijuana growing operations, sometimes guarded by the drug dealers. Another problem is border areas which happen to be National Parks or monuments.
http://bighammer.net/images/020608_NPS_permit.pdf - NPS requires persons to promise not to hold the government liable if you are hurt or killed in one of these parks. That's not a ringing endorsement for how safe National Parks are is it?
One has to ask what exactly NPCA and other NPS supporters are afraid of? It's not poaching because they neglect to tell you that poaching is still going on despite the gun ban that NPS imposes. At least according to the public comments, an overwhelming majority of comments favor NPS lifting the ban on self defense without the "Rube-Kempthorne" 'analogous state lands' restrictions. The fact is that "feeling safe" and being safe aren't necessarily the same. Lots of visitors to National Parks probably feel safe. But, if you've been raped, robbed, attached or victimized in a National Park, you probably realize that you weren't ever actually safe.
Back in 1987 a great hue and cry was raised by people who simply hate firearms and the idea that citizens should defend themselves when the state of Florida began issuing concealed handgun permits to citizens who were not disqualified. They, as the NPS supporters now do proclaimed there would be "Blood in the streets!" They lied. Not only Florida, but EVERY state which followed suit saw crime statistics get better or stay the same. Not one got worse. Despite this, the media continues to be a willing participant in this "blood in the streets" lie. It's shameful and dishonest.
The petitioners who seek to amend the NPS weapons regulations are simply trying to enable citizens to protect themselves if they need to in a National Park or Wildlife Refuge without fear of criminal prosecution. Nobody should be prosecuted for defending themselves from attack, but that is exactly what the NPS will do.
The National Park Service does not now, nor did it ever have the authority to promulgate a regulation banning firearms for self defense and effectively banning self defense. The recent US vs. Heller decision struck down a firearms ban that is almost exactly what the NPS regulation does and it is long past time for the National Park Service to revise it's regulations to better reflect the will of the people and respect the right to self defense.

How many deaths will it take for you to be satisfied?

Randi Minetor: Bruce, Tess and Art -- Thank you so much for your comments. I am glad that we're having a discussion on this issue from both sides. In the months since this issue came to the Congressional agenda, I've been fascinated by the comments on blogs and news sites following any mention of guns in the national parks: The fact is that most people who comment are in favor of the measure, which is not what I originally expected.
Bruce, you're right about the poachers -- they don't care about the law, and will bring their guns and shoot animals anyway. The anti-guns concern, I believe, is about the accidental gunshot that hits a ten-year-old hiking with his family. This does not happen in parks now, but the fear is that such an accident is more likely if people can carry loaded guns. I'd be interested in your view about this.
Thanks for the invitation to the VCDL meeting -- I'm in upstate New York, but you've made a good point; it would be interesting to talk with pro-gun organization members, and I will look for the opportunity here.
I don't have access to your e-mail addresses, so please feel free to share if you wish. Thanks again for your comments. -- Randi

Tess Ailshire: No, I don't feel unsafe in national parks. I don't feel unsafe in my children's schools. I don't feel unsafe in the Post Office, or a courthouse. If I did, I wouldn't go there.
What I do feel is more confident in my ability to protect my family if the need should arise, while I hope every day I never have to face the situation. I liken it to having a fire escape plan in my home, and practicing it, while hoping I never have to use it.
Bruce Jackson is right. A person who feels safer in an unsafe location just because he's carrying a gun probably has some growing up to do. A person who carries a gun in case a "safe" place suddenly isn't -- like Columbine, like Northern Illinois University, like McDonalds, like Lubys -- has made a conscious choice to be prepared.
I don't carry a gun to feel like a man. I carry a gun for the same reason I lock my doors, wear a seatbelt, keep a fire extinguisher handy, and own an insurance policy.
Why should I feel less safe if others may be carrying guns? Others already are, but they're the people I hope never to meet -- the ones who aren't following laws, but mean me and mine harm.
September 21, 10:18 AM
Bruce Jackson: If the law abiding having guns for self defense will increase crime then fire extinguishers increase the risk of fire....
1.) no, I do not feel unsafe. If I did I would not go with or without a gun. The gun does not authorize me to go into a place that is unsafe, it allows me to defend myself when a safe place I am in goes bad!
2.) See the answer to number 1. It is the same basic thing. I carry my gun. It affords me to defend myself and my family if things starts to go bad in the normaly safe place I am in. It does not matter what others do. My concern is for me, my family, and those in my care.
Art - come on man. The gun does not make someone a man especially since many ladies carry too. You don't get a gun to man-up, but you do get one when you grow-up and realize the world is not safe and that the police are neither required or capable of keeping you safe.
and a couple of tips for you Art...
1.)The poacher is the one dragging the dead animal.
2.)You should feel less safe already then, because the only ones this law impacts are the LAW ABIDING! The criminals already have them. Oh, and let me add they will be CONCEALED so how will you know? or are you just going to have a panic attack every time you cross paths with another mushroom picker, hiker, or those infamous all ready armed rangers?
If Randi Minetor will send you my email address from this post (sone sights filter them out so I will not bother adding it here) I would be willing to put up a c-note ($100.00)to cover your bet. The National Parks gun crimes will not increase outside of any national trending.
Oh, and my fiance would be very offended to think you believe she had to carry her .357 magnum to feel like a man when all she really wants to do is make sure her kids are safe. Remember, with 2.5 MILLION defensive uses of a firearm in this country every year, Guns SAVE Lives.
PS Randi Minetor please come to a VCDL meeting. It is a Virginia pro gun organization and since they are the ones that started this ball almost 6 years ago, you might get a good glimpse of the other side.
September 21, 9:27 AM
Art: In all actuality, I will feel less safe with guns allowed in National Parks, and I am willing to bet that crimes involving guns will INCREASE in National Parks if this bill passes. It will also make poaching on national narkland easier. If you need a gun by your side at all moments to feel like a man., you have a big problem.
September 20, 8:09 PM
"Each worker carried his sword strapped to his side." Nehemiah 4:18
Guns Save Lives. Paramedics Save Lives. But...
Paramedics With Guns Scare People!
We shall see what happens. If unintended consequences does not appear, then the carry law in National Parks should stand.
My bias, for now, is try it and see if it works.
I think it comes down to this:
Do you think that the 112 people who were the victims of violent personal attacks would have preferred that they could have drawn a firearm to protect themselves?
Citing statistics regarding people who aren't being victimized is misleading. Ask the VICTIMS of crime not the ostriches who don't believe that it happens which is better.
Most visitors never leave their car and if they do, they visit crowded places. If you look at the trail crime instead of Old Faithful crime, I bet the rate goes through the roof. It belongs to us, not the dirt bags.

Edge of Darkness
I carry in the national forests and would like to carry in the national parks also. I have a CHL and rather like being able to protect my family and myself against any critters 2 or 4 legged. I often go into wilderness areas and backpack in some pretty remote places.
...one jagged hole!
I have never had a problem with the wildlife in the parks, a little knowledge will allow you to avoid bad situations more often then not. The two legged variety is a lot more unpredictable and dangerous. I have found myself in a bad situation twice with them, unarmed thanks to the stupid regulations. Once I was alone the second the wife was there, which made it worse. Fortunately, I was able to get out of both unharmed but it could have went bad easily. Now we carry some good quality pepper spray and a knife, not ideal but better than nothing.
When I worked for the Fed's I always carry, and now carrying with a CCL, and it's hard to remember there are places I can not legally carry.
And while some places like secure areas in airports and courthouses, are no brainers, not being allowed to carry a pistol in a National Park is just plain stupid.
As some others have stated, most citizens never travel far from there vehicle and when they do it's to visit an attraction where there are allot of people. So the stats are off, and do not reflect the citizen who like to travel far off the beaten path.
If you look at stats National Wildlife refuges or State Park I think you'll see there are
no accordance of a crime being committed by a CCL holder.

Hanasaku Iroha - Character Discussion - Matsumae Ohana
The purpose of this thread is to provide a place to discuss all things Matsumae Ohana related.
http://forums.animesuki.com/picture....ictureid=39068To keep the discussion enjoyable for all Hanasaku Iroha fans, please follow the guidelines below and stay on-topic!
Note: Please don't use this for the specifics (i.e. episode, chapter, game, etc. discussion) there are other threads for that stuff.Thread Guidelines
So far after 4 episodes, my opinion of Ohana can be summed up as a dere Taiga from Toradora.
It's hard to hate such a character. ;)
Now personally, I find Ohana to be good character. Though theres something about her that I kinda dislike atm :/
Said something being the recent episode when she bad-mouthed Tohru in front of Minko in the bathhouse.
In her defense, she wanted to try to improve the relationship between herself and Minko. But I kinda dislike the fact that she assumed that Minko dislikes Tohru as well despite the almost obvious hints in front of her >_>
I've said it a lot in the general thread, but she rocks. She's smart, witty, and freely speaks her mind. Her reactions to other people are always humorous and overall she just feels like the type of person you'd want to watch succeed. People simply cannot resist her presence despite what they may claim, mainly because the entire environment of the show comes alive with her presence without being too over the top.
She's pretty much why I watch this show.
Now the only thing that bugs me is that Ohana assumed that Minko dislikes Tohru just because she has a negative view of him, which just seemed kinda messed up TBH :uhoh:
(Don't get me wrong though, I still like her character but the recent episode didn't exactly do her well in my books..)
Ohana didn't get our birds eye view of the scenes, and given how she goofed up a few times and has this impression Minko is mad because of her goof-ups, her assessment is perfectly normal.
Ohana reminds me of a less eccentric, more down-to-earth version of Isarugi Noe. Happy, bubbly, outgoing, not scared to open her mind, but isn't crazy :heh:. In my opinion, it's pretty hard to hate such a character. If I was nitpicky, it could be argued that she is a bit of a busy-body and sticks her nose into other's people's business a bit too much.
Hmm, I was just thinking about this from my post in the ep4 thread, but do you think Ohana values Kou more than her mother? By no means am I saying that Satsuki was a bad parent(well, that's another story :heh:), but given the amount of screen time(Kou gets more), and her different reactions to the email in ep1(Satsuki) and ep3(Kou) as well as her various perceptions of Satsuki throughout these 4 eps compared to Kou(wasn't much, but it was all positive memories) gives me the impression that Kou's presence is more important than Satsuki's.
Well, at the moment she cares (thinks) more about Kou than her mother, so you're right there. But I don't think you should compare such relationships and their values. Wife or daughter? Best friend or closest relative? When it's not crucial, I'd never consider thinking about it. Maybe a good example would be Bakemonogatari where Senjougahara is Araragi's girlfriend, but at the same time Shinobu is the (a) person he would definitely die for. Saying that he values one more than the other is just... O_O
Eh, I don't think she values her mother that much at all. :heh:
Favorite character. She's definitely different from other main heroines. She's clever, sneaky, smart, has attitude, and stands up for herself and knows what's right. She's not like a typical main heroine would be, tragically trying to earn her mom's love back in this situation or complaining or crying her eyes out about her situation. No, she knows how bad of a mom her mom is, takes it all in and accepts in, and grows stronger from it. She's independent and she sucks it all up and does everything she needs to do. Even with living the imaginably hard life she is after being abandoned by her own mother to a man, she still helps others and puts people in their right place. I love strong characters like this. She's a very nice and sweet yet strong girl.
She's pretty refreshing as a main character. Her naivety when it comes to topics like sex is adorable. "Her.. what spot? Um.."
One thing I'll add is that I think Ohana is the sort of person that can't stand having somebody actively disliking her, and generally likes everybody she knows to be on good terms with her. She doesn't like having enemies, or people on bad terms with her.
I think that's a big part of the reason why she tries so hard to win over Minchi, and why she was pretty forgiving towards Jiromaru.
I'll be completely open about this. I'm absolutely in love with Ohana right now. She's super witty, quite intelligent and perhaps wise for her age although she's got a lot of learning to do about herself and how to deal with others. I suppose the biggest thing I like about her is how much I can relate to her, like when she was at odds with her grandmother for the way she was having a go at Minko. I really thought like her in that it was unfair. I really also admired how she willingly took the blame after cleaning the wannabe-writer's room and losing the drafts instead of saying Nako didn't tell her exactly what ought to be done. She's a really strong character, albeit somewhat presumptuous at first but she can only get better. She's easily becoming my favorite anime girl :love:
Man, I have to admit the fact that she's always emotionally honest and speaks her mind sets her apart from many people. She also wants to learn about everyone's true feelings, no matter how hostile they are. But you know, when I think of other characters that I like that have this trait... I suddenly realized who it was.
Not that I think Minko or the others need their asses kicked. But it wouldn't hurt. :D
Ohana is Mai Waifu.
one of the cutest things i have ever seen in a anime XD
shes one of my favorite chars of all time and is awesome
i like pretty much every feature of her
the anime itself isnt bad in any reguard, but she really creates the mood of the anime (well she is the main char anyway xD)
she's a wonderful character. i love her somewhat realistic naiveness, her bubbly personality, and how her voice fits perfectly with her character.

Software glitch exposes MO HealthNet personal information
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - The personal information of nearly 1,500 Missourians was mailed to the wrong address following a software glitch.
MO HealthNet says it is notifying 1,357 individuals that some of their information was mailed to an incorrect address by Infocrossing, Inc., one of the agency's contractors.
The Department of Social Services says no medical or financial information was released but other information, including names, dates of birth, MO HealthNet identification account numbers, phone numbers, and the last four digits of social security numbers could be exposed.
Officials say the error was discovered on June 6 and since then, MO HealthNet has sent notices to those affected by the error.
HealthNet says there is no reason to believe that any identity theft has occurred, but they are offering free, continuous credit-monitoring services and identity theft consultation and restoration for two years to those affected.

Bern was the Drive presenter. Now she's the Brekkie presenter. You might recall Bern's fantastic segment "The Karinthy Connection" - the one that asked guests to link six songs together in line with the 'six degrees of separation' phrase coined by Hungarian author Frigyes Karinthy. Well, The Shuffle became my version of the same kind of thing when. It seemed only right that as I came into Drive, so too should their be a respectful nod to the segment - and presenter - past. Bern was a natural fit as my first guest.
Duran Duran - Last Chance on the Stairway
Simple Minds - Mandela Day
The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
Fletch - William Lane (note: Fletch is Bern's partner - a particularly gifted musician. This song is off Fletch's album Fletch's Anecdote, a musical reflection on the life and times of Utopian idealist William Lane).
William Owen Jones
Gold Coast City Division 3 Councillor
We first learned of William's deep appreciation of Australian contemporary music - particularly anything out of Brisbane! - when last year we asked our listeners to vote for the five greatest Australian albums of all time. William was never backward in coming forward with an idea or or two about who should be included.
These were his Shuffle selections:
INXS - Melting in the Sun
Paul Kelly - Deeper Water
Mick Thomas and The Sure thing - Selling the Car for You
The Gin Club - Junk
Louise Bezzina
Festival Director - Bleach
Louise is an extraordinarily gifted creative visionary with a burning desire to make the Bleach Festival a worldwide attraction for our part of the world. So far so good. In just two years, Bleach has near enough to tripled in size and has polanted itself as the Gold Coast's premiere cultural event. She's a gem, is Louise. We're lucky to have her!
Alanis Morissette - Ironic
From the Amelie Soundtrack - J'y Suis Jamais Alle
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
I'm a Dreamer - Diafrix
Gra Murdoch
Designer and Editor of White Horses
Graham 'Gra' Murdoch is an extraordinary chap. He plies his trade quietly, but with a passionate fervour. He's designed and laid out magazines for years for local publisher Morrison Media, but his undoubted talent has positively blossomed since he took the reins of White Horses. More coffee table book than traditional mag, it's tagline is 'the sea has stories'. Gra brings those to us by combining exquisite imagery with first hand accounts of life near the ocean. It's quite the feat.
Bob Seger - Night Moves
The Models - Rate of Change
Nick Drake - Things Behind the Sun
Sebadoh - Skull
Jeff Hoad
Lead singer, Kings of the Sun
Jeff's tale is amazing. Gold Coast leather rockers Kings of the Sun were plucked from relative obscurity in the late 80's by a US-based agent with all the right connections. With stars in their eyes, they packed their guitars and amps and crossed the Atlantic where waiting for them were the world's best producers and pre-booked time in some of best kitted studios in LA. They toured with Kiss and Guns and Roses. They partied hard and played hard. But then something happened. And that something was Grunge. All of a sudden flaxen hair, axe-shredding and leather duds weren't so hot. So before Kings of the Sun really started, they stopped. Their label dropped them and the ride pretty much ended. Demons followed Jeff around for a bit, but he's come out the other side better for it. He still plays, too!
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Sweet Hitch Hiker
The Ramones - Sheena is a Punk Rocker
Kings of the Sun - Serpentine
Rolling Stones - You Can't Always Get What You Want
Trevor Jackson
91.7 ABC Coast FM Content Director
Trevor loves music. Seriously loves it. It's no surprise he now finds himself selecting plenty of it for us to play. He's been in broadcasting for the best part of three decades now, and cut his teeth during the musically rich salad days of Sydney FM commercial radio at 2MMM before paring things back a bit when the formula kicked in and the fun went missing. He presented for ABC in Hobart before settling into Mornings here at 91.7 ABC Caost FM and a bit later, Drive. Eventually that all morphed into a role as the top rock on the local pyramid when he became Content Director a few years back.
Carly Simon - You're So Vain
2MMM Theme
Michael Franti/Spearhead - Positive
Led Zeppelin - Rock'n'Roll

Photographer's Note
A Kestrel was hovering over an object in an open field, like standing in the air, extracting a full zoom to take it's special technique doing this.
Many times I saw kestrels hovering at distance, but this time it was very close, relatively speaking.
The tail used as a rudder to balance its body on air, in the attached picture from long ago, the tail shown in an upwards view.

I think this bird just found lunch! Yes, the air brakes are deployed. Good capture with nice details. Well done, tfs.
ourania (51103) 2014-06-06 23:51
Hello Ike,
you are offering us a delightful scene and a chance to realize how an image that looks austere and simple can be derived from a difficult and lucky capture. I like very much the graceful movement of the bird and the way you placed it in the frame. Sharpness is great and the colours are lovely. The empty space looks delightful and meaningful. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely weekend,
mirosu (16279) 2014-06-07 0:29
Hi Ike,
You have captured the bird in excellent flight position. It is in nice contrast against clean blue sky. Simple but excellent photo.
Very well done.
Wish you a nice weekend.

Hello Ike,
This bird has real an extraordinarily flight technique, exactly what your write in your notes.
Also your three extra picture are niece to look at.

Excellent composition, nice presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Good morning Ike,
nice the view as the flight of the kestrel,on the sky of Tel Aviv with the quality of the photo to be supeb.The decisive moment is the shot with the horizontial opening of the wings,making the scene even more effective.
Have agood weekend,Danos
pierrefonds (72987) 2014-06-07 5:33
Hi Ike,
The bird is well placed in the frame. The point of view is showin g the details and the colors of the Kestrel in flight. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

those graceful behaviors while birds perform the latters for free, instinctively!
Nice shot of this soaring bird that exhibits its predator skills.

Ike, this is amazing!! you even catch them flying in the air!!a marvelous capture and compliments for looking up!!
jcpix (13950) 2014-06-08 19:50
Hi Ike,
I've tried to capture birds in flight, but just can't seem to get it right...so I admire a shot like this which is not easy to accomplish, at least for someone like me. :) You captured this bird at a prime moment with wings spread wide and fanned out tail feathers to express its beauty in action. Thanks for including your previous pictures too, bringing together the many details and facets of this particular species. Enjoy the new week. Take good care.
Friendly wishes,

Shalom Ike. A small and graceful bird of prey with delicate markings and lovely soft colours. In the mediaeval times it was only the low classes that could keep such birds for falconry and it was a crime for such people to own a falcon. Regards. Klaudio.
jmdias (70571) 2014-07-05 1:44
I had a similar chance many decades ago, but my camera was a poor simple one and the result was like a point against the blue. very nice view of the bird in a back position and in flight.
abmdsudi (59888) 2014-08-06 23:16
Hi Ike
A great inflight well timed shot of this majestic wild bird out hunting in the hover. Super detail, sharp in focus and great blue background gives it better clarity. Skilfully done! Looking at your exif data, you were quite close to this bird, which makes it into an even more stunning capture. Excellent wildlife photography, Congrats.
Best regards

simply a relaxing picture. peace and happiness reminded me when I first looked.
Best wishes my friend.

Hello Ike,
You have shot this beautiful bird from a perfect angle under the deep blue sky, it can change its flight direction from different angle, I like its color and great POV.
with warm regards,

Très bonne journée.

Hello Ike,
A nice minimalist shot of just the bird against a clear blue sky. Good sharpness and density levels. I might have cropped a little tighter and placed the bird further to the right to enhance the composition. Tfs.

Women in the workforce are a highly politicized topic as of late, partly a product of how they've been tied into the minimum wage debate. Without getting too embroiled in partisanship views, let's take a look at the role women play in the U.S. workforce.
1. Education: More for Less
According to the White House, women have progressed far more in educational areas than men in the last forty years. Women are more likely to graduate from college, they're more likely to get a graduate degree, and men are more likely than women to obtain at least a high school education. However, looked at more closely, women are underrepresented in science and technology fields, according to the White House data, fields that ultimately tend to pay better once graduates hit the job market. The highest percent of women workers are found in education and health services, at 36 percent, or 24,087 workers in 2012, according to the according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report for May of 2014. The lowest percentage?
According to the report, 38 percent of women between the ages of 25 and 64 had obtained a college degree in 2012. Two of the highest paying jobs for women — lawyers at $1,636 a week and pharmacists at $1,871 — require graduate educations, as likely does the third job, chief executive, which pays about $1,730 each week. Women 25 and older with only high school diplomas made averages of $561 a week, while women with associate's made approximately $697, and women with bachelor's or higher made about $1,001.

How can i make my super crazy curly hair, wavy?
My hair is super dry and course. when it drys is becomes a huge mess of frizz, so I have been straightening my hair. I would like a way to make it wavy. when strait its about mid way down my back. is there a way to get it so it about the same length my slightly wavy? with no heat? btw I have really really think hair.

You're kind of stuck with your natural hair pattern, unless you put heat or chemicals on it, which you don't want to do.
There are a couple of stylers that will pull out some of the curl... Extenzz is one. You can put duckbill clips in at the ends of your hair when it's wet, so as it dries the curl is kinda pulled out.
And you can just learn to take really good care of what you have so that it looks its very best. Spend some time reading this site; there's tons of good information all over. :)

why wouldn't you want super crazy curling hair?! I wish I had that!
BY: jadegameplay13 ( 4c ) | 2.28.14
The term for what you're trying to achieve is "stretching," you could try braiding or banding, which is where you put hair bands all the way down your hair to stretch it out. Here's an article about stretching coily hair safely: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/kinky-h...
BY: CristinaC ( 2c ) | 2.25.14
You could put your hair in braids or twists while it's wet (at night or if you don't mind wearing the braided style around you could pin the braids into an updo or wear a hat). When your hair dries, you can take it out and it will be more stretched and if you don't separate the hair too much or fluff it out it will not have as much volume. Since your hair is thick you may need to do trial and error to figure out how big/small, how many twists/braids to do. It doesn't have to be a lot. Here is an example, but you could do the same with braids or two strand twists: http://www.curlynikki.com/2014/02/still-cant-thre..., and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13-aID_uJPc --different hair type and fewer braids than you might need, but similar concept. The braids should help cut down on frizz and volume and if the braids are bigger, it also can give you a more wavy, looser curl. You can look up "braid out" or "twist out" on youtube for more examples of techniques.
I hope that helps!

Georgia Reaches 20 Wins with 3-1 Victory Over Mississippi State
Nov. 17, 2013
STARKVILLE, Miss. - For the second match in a row, the Georgia volleyball team rallied for a win, this time taking a 3-1 (18-25, 25-18, 25-20, 25-18) decision against Mississippi State on Sunday, Nov. 17 in Starkville, Miss. The win completes a weekend sweep for the Bulldogs and a season sweep of Mississippi State. Georgia picks up its 20th win to improve to 20-8 overall that includes a 10-6 mark in Southeastern Conference play. It marks the first 20-win season for the Bulldogs since 2002. Mississippi State falls to 11-17 overall and 2-12 in the SEC.
The Bulldogs had five players in double figures, with Brittany Northcutt leading the way with 14. Jasmine Eatmon racked up 10 kills and hit at an impressive .692 clip. Stacey Smith ended the match with 10 kills and a .500 attack percentage, while Lauren Teknipp recorded 12 kills. Tirah Le'au finished with 13 kills in the win. Kaylee Kehoe led the team with a season-best 35 assists, while Maggie Baumert finished with 26. Elena Perri and Eatmon led the team with four blocks each, while Northcutt notched her ninth double-double of the season by leading the team with 13 digs.
After dropping the first set 25-18, Georgia rallied back to take the second set 25-18. Georgia eased out to a 9-4 lead in the second set, before MSU made it a three-point game at 10-7. Georgia answered by scoring four of the next five points that forced Mississippi State to call a timeout trailing 14-8. The teams traded points over the next several possessions until Le'au put down back-to-back kills that gave the Bulldogs a 22-14 lead. A service ace by Baumert gave the Bulldogs set point before a MSU error sealed the 25-18 win and tied the match at one set each.
The battled continued into the third set, as neither team was able to take control until an 8-0 run by Georgia allowed it to take an 11-6 lead. During the run, Georgia got three kills from Teknipp. A Mississippi State kill broke the run, but Georgia responded with three more points to extend its lead to 14-7. Mississippi State recorded three-straight points that cut Georgia's lead to three at 18-15 and forced Georgia to use a timeout. At 19-17, Georgia scored back-to-back points that allowed it to retake a four-point lead. The Bulldogs allowed just three more points before a kill by Le'au sealed the 25-20 set three win that put Georgia up 2-1 overall.
The fourth and final set was another close affair until a Teknipp kill ignited a 5-0 run that put Georgia up 11-7 and caused Mississippi State to use a timeout. MSU got the next point out of the break, but the Bulldogs went on to score four of the next five to extend its lead to 15-9. Mississippi State cut the lead to three at 19-16, but Georgia answered with a pair of points to take a 21-16 lead. The Bulldogs went on to score four of the final five points to win the set 25-18 and the set 3-1.
Georgia has a bye on Friday before hosting Texas A&M on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 1:30 p.m., at the Ramsey Center. The match will be the first of a three-match homestretch that will conclude the regular season for the Bulldogs.

Conditioning With Volatile Anesthetics in Liver Transplantation
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
The gap between the number of candidates for orthotopic liver transplantation and the availability of suitable liver grafts has led to a rise in deaths on most waiting lists. Strategies applied in many centers to minimize this deficit include living donation or split of a cadaveric organ for two recipients, domino transplantation, and the use of so-called expanded criteria donors. Alternatively, conditioning of an organ would also allow protec-tion of the liver upon ischemia-reperfusion injury, possibly decreasing postoperative liver function and im-proving clinical outcome. The technique of conditioning with the volatile anesthetic sevoflurane is an easily applicable procedure which could be performed in any center worldwide.
Data and experience with sevoflurane attenuating ischemic-reperfusion injury in liver resection lead to the hypothesis of a beneficial effect of volatile anesthetics in liver transplantation. In this randomized controlled trial, patients will be randomly assigned to liver transplantation with propofol anesthesia (propofol group) or sevoflurane conditioning with the volatile anesthetic (sevoflurane group). Primary endpoint is postoperative peak of the transaminase (AST), secondary endpoints are complications, primary liver graft function, ICU and hospital stay. We hypothesis that patients with conditioning have an attenuated increase of transaminases as well as a better outcome.

It would have been a year, too, to change the method of voting. Why not get analysts to submit their share recommendations from three years ago and see what the price was then, what the high or low has been since and what the price is now. The gains and losses on a notional portfolio could be totalled and the winner would be the one who had lost clients least money.
But no, nothing has changed. The same big firms came out on top while analysts with small firms did not get a look in. The voting is a sham because fund managers know big investment banks can feed them juicy new issues which help their investment performance if they keep in their good books. Alternatively, the banks can freeze them out if they cause offence. Then their performance suffers and they lose clients. That is why the fund managers give accolades year after year to analysts whose recommendations have been disastrous and shamelessly ignore analysts with small firms who have done a better job.
The judges are the wrong people. When analysts are trying to create volatility so that their firms' trading desks have the opportunity to deal, they function as its marketing department and business-getters. That is where the money is. Their role is to make contact with and impress company managements so they use the investment bank when they want to raise money and hype up the issue when the time comes.
So why not get the company executives to rate them on criteria like their ability to write hagiography or to take dictation? Unfair? Judge for yourself. The winner of the top award told The Independent: 'Of course (analysts) are influenced by the management and their views. If you put a company on 'hold' or 'sell' then the management don't talk to you.'
At the very least they should put the word 'advertisement' above their reports.
Silent role
ON THE subject of City professionals, I have been trying for more than a week to recover from seeing the head of Goldman Sachs demand in public that American business cleans up its act. I thought I had strayed into an Alice in Wonderland world where everything was the opposite of what it should be.
Few investment banks were as aggressive in the dotcom years as Goldman Sachs. It brought many companies to market, often at a very tender age and at high prices, but their shares now trade at just a fraction of the price Goldman was so happy to endorse such a short time ago.
Nor were there many signs, in public at any rate, of the firm telling clients they should rein in their ambitions if they wanted to make acquisitions. For example, a huge number of the deals done by Tyco, the now-crumbling conglomerate, were done with the help of Goldman Sachs.
Other investment bankers say every deal Tyco did was driven by either tax or accounting reasons but never industrial logic. Goldman would no doubt disagree, but one wonders how many times the firm suggested to that particular client that a deal should not be done because there was no industrial logic in it.
In previous bear markets investment banks went through a period of penance and silence to give the rest of us time to forget their role in the bubble. It is one City tradition that should not have been jettisoned.
