Proof66 Notes
Mestizo mezcal is mean to bring to mind the latin "mixticius" or "mix" and represent the fusion of Mexican and European cultures. In mezcal, they feel that the European tradition of distilling mixes with the Mexican agave (and it's fermented "pulque"). Mestizo is produced in Matalan, Oaxaca made from a base of 100% Espadin agave (where tequila would use the Blue Weber).

By 1949, in exile in the US, the idea of England had been spoiled for PG Wodehouse by the bullying treatment he had received as a consequence of his wartime capers. I think it was settled in Wodehouse's mind by then that he would never return. In The Mating Season, written that year, an elaborate revenge is visited upon Christopher Robin and all the slushy works of AA Milne, who had been one of Wodehouse's chief persecutors. Wodehouse threw off the idea of being "quintessentially English"; a fatuous non-compliment that is still paid him by his less attentive or literate fans.
The Bay City Rollers were the Boyzone of their day only bigger. And their fans, including Caroline Sullivan, still pay homage
Beyond their debut, Straight Out The Jungle, the Jungle Brothers have never fully maintained their position as hip-hop's celebratory conscience. Compared to fellow members of the influential Native Tongues crew - Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul - the Jungle Brothers have musically underachieved. Both Quest and Delasoul were adept at balancing creativity with commerciality; in contrast, the Jungle Brothers showed isolated pockets of genius, peppered liberally throughout their oeuvre.
The Guardian critic James Wood, in a recent book of essays, asks, "What writer does not dream of touching every word in the lexicon once?" Mercifully, journalism is generally driven by more modest ambitions and for most of the time we confine our activities to the lower slopes of the language, rarely reaching for the peaks. Even so, as readers of the paper are always happy to point out, we often slip or stumble, sometimes disturbing a word that really should have been left alone.

Ranger Coffee news feature, Marietta Daily Journal, 5/30/12
We're fortunate to have caught the interest and attention of the Marietta Daily Journal in this post-Memorial Day article on the company and our President. Enjoy and support our veterans!
Introducing "Just One Bag"
Just one bag. That's all it takes to make a difference in the life of a veteran. What do you get in return? (1) great coffee; (2) great service; and (3) a stronger community in which to do what you do. See, Americans make meaningless purchasing decisions everyday. Yea, you have your preferences for this and that, and if you're patronizing the right vendors, you're generally getting something that you enjoy in exchange for the price that you're paying for it.
GallantFew Interview with Ranger Coffee, 2/15/12
Ranger Coffee had the distinct privilege of being featured on this week's "New American Veteran" blogtalk radio show hosted by Karl Monger of GallantFew, Inc. Karl was gracious in his questions, and gave us a tremendous opportunity to share our story and our passion for serving our brothers and sisters in arms. Ranger Coffee President, Rob Swartwood, formally announced during the show that Ranger Coffee would be making a "Founding Donor" investment in GallantFew as a good-faith deposit on long-term support to the organization. Ranger Coffee has specially-selected GallantFew as an organization that supports and affirms Ranger Coffee's vision of "veteran impact." Together with organizations like GallantFew, Ranger Coffee is leading a critical effort to make a positive impact in the lives of transitioning veterans. We hope that our Founding Donor contribution is the beginning of a long-term partnership that will ultimately support veterans and make America stronger. Check out the interview (begins at the 14 min mark), buy our great coffee, and help us continue to support organizations like GallantFew that are making a lasting and tangible impact in the lives of veterans. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gallantfew/2012/02/15/gallantfews-the-new-american-veteran
Ranger Coffee gets rave review from Ranger Up
On February 13, 2012, Ranger Up writer "Rob" (no relation to Ranger Coffee's Robs – yes, we have more than one too) released a great review of Ranger Coffee and our products. As most know, Ranger Up is the gold-standard for what veteran-owned businesses can and should be, and it was a great privilege to have earned their endorsement. We look forward to working with Ranger Up again in the future, to include working with them to develop some custom "Ranger Coffee" apparel. Thanks again for the article guys and bottoms up!

Smoked Ham, Barley and Vegetable Soup
Recipe by Leslie in Texas
I got this last year at the Epicurious.com website.It's from the April 2000 issue of Bon Apetit. It's a hearty soup, great for chilly evenings! Serve with crusty bread or a good cornbread and a side salad, if you wish.One of my sons likes a few drops of Tabasco sauce in his! To make it lower fat, I simmer the ham hocks in the chicken broth the day before, remove the ham hocks and refrigerate the stock and ham hocks separately. The next day I skim off the congealed fat from the surface of the broth,cut the meat off the bones, and heat the stock back up and proceed with the soup.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 10 cups canned low-sodium low-fat chicken broth
- 3 lbs smoked ham hocks

- 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup celery, chopped
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 3⁄4 cup pearl barley, rinsed and drained
- 8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces (optional)
Directions See How It's Made

- Add the potatoes, tomatoes with juices,onions, carrots,celery, barley, and oregano.

Spooky Contacts Eye Damage
October 29, 2011 by staff
Spooky Contacts Eye Damage, Laura Butler, was vacationing in Virginia Beach, Virginia, when, on a whim, brown-eyed mother decided to buy a pair of blue contact lenses and 29.99 in a novelty shop.
Back home in West Virginia the next day, he felt a sharp pain in her left eye. The ill-fitting contact lenses had formed a suction on the cornea, the membrane delicate, transparent covers the pupil and iris. She literally had to break off contact, leading to serious injury and extremely painful.
"The car window was open, and I found a piece of wood had flown and he stabbed me in the eye was so bad," said Butler. "I had two kids and I never felt such pain in my life."
Contact lenses are medical devices regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is illegal to sell without a prescription in the United States, but Halloween is a time when sales of "special effects", "theatrical" and "decorative" contact lenses peak, according to experts. Decorative lenses do not correct vision, but can turn the blue, green or purple, or give the appearance of the eyes of zombie or a cat.
Although there is nothing wrong with the purchase of decorative contact an optometrist or an ophthalmologist, who will ensure that the lens fits your eye properly, buying business contacts flea markets, street vendors or beauty supply stores is dangerous, experts warn.
Ill-fitting contacts or contacts who are not adequately addressed can lead to injuries and infections that can cause blindness, said Dr. Thomas Steinemann, a professor of ophthalmology at MetroHealth Medical Center at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.
"We are concerned especially this time of year. Halloween is approaching, and people do things for fun or a dare. And who are greater risk takers? Children," Steinemann said.
He treated a 14-year-old who has a "blind infection" – Pseudomonas aeruginosa – after using the counter contacts. The infection was fast, and within 24 hours, the girl was in the hospital while doctors worked to save her eye.
"We have the infection under control, but was left with a scar on the cornea which left him blind in the eye," Steinemann said. To restore the vision needed a corneal transplant. "It's a terrible price to pay," he said.
Because our hands and face full of bacteria, even using properly fitted contact lenses run the risk of infection, Steinemann said. However, eye care professionals reduce risk through education of contact lens wearers about proper use and care of the contacts, such as never sleeping in contacts and the use of a sterile solution for contact lenses you save.
Infections associated with contact lenses can be serious. "A person can lose a significant amount of vision in 24 hours," Steinemann said.
When Butler arrived home, she said she was curled in a fetal position because he was in such agony. The next day went to the emergency room, where he received antibiotics andanlgesics.
She saw an ophthalmologist per day during the first week and then weekly for 8 weeks. She could not drive for more than two months, and have medical expenses for thousands of dollars.
Butler said he hopes her story will deter others from buying contacts without seeing an eye care professional first. "I was about to be blinded by the rest of my life," he said.
The FDA offers these tips for safe use of contact lenses:
Get an eye exam by a physician licensed eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) who will examine your eye, make sure the lenses fit properly and write a prescription, even if the lenses are purely cosmetic.
Follow the instructions for cleaning, disinfection and use of lenses, and see your doctor for follow-up examinations.
Never share contacts or contact lens solution.
Seek medical attention right away if you have signs of eye infection as possible, such as redness, pain, discharge or decreased vision.

A warning: This is not a happy segment. No one has a happy ending. You have been warned.
I am Uatu, the Watcher. I have watched this world for many years, viewing it in all its changes. I have seen young Harry Potter go from a shy, abused child into a father of four. However, this is not the only world. There are many worlds where Harry Potter made other choices, be it different Houses or friends. The changes are simple, but they make one ask a simple question: What if...?
In this story we look at Hermione Granger. She was hailed as the brightest witch of her generation. She was top of her class, skilled in many forms of magic. As soon as her wand was purchased, the girl "tried a few spells at home." We later learn this was an infraction of the decrees regarding underage magic. She isn't punished then, as she was quite a stickler for the rules after she had learned them.
But what if the rules applied as soon as one had their wand?
In this world, Hermione Granger tries a simple spell, Lumos. A wave of the wand and there's light. Moments after she does so, strangely robed men and women appear in her house. There is no preamble or discussion. The head, a pink clad woman who bears a strong resemblance to an amphibian, grabs the girl's wand and snaps it with a look of glee. The girl, her parents and the neighbors (just for good measure) are obliviated of the offense and of magic itself.
Having already agreed to go to Hogwarts, she finds herself in a bind since she apparently turned down her favored school for a school she no longer remembers agreeing to attend. Using some connections and greasing some palms, the Grangers manage to get their daughter into a special school for the gifted. She isn't the top, but well into the 80th percentile, and for the first time she has peers who hold similar interests. She doesn't have many close friends, but finishes and goes on to a career in medicine like her parents.
Things change slightly on the other side. A young boy, looking lost, meets up with a pack of redheads who show him the entrance to platform 9 3/4 where an ancient looking train waits for their presence. This young boy, the eponymous Harry Potter, makes friends with a boy with a rat, one Ronald Weasley. This time the only interruption is from a blond boy and his bookends. On the train a boy loses his toad and when no one is available to help look for Trevor, Neville Longbottom starts to wonder if someone made a mistake, if perhaps he wasn't supposed to be there at all.
Once they reach Hogwarts, the sorting begins. Hogwarts, not informed of Miss Granger's infraction, reads off her name and is disappointed that she never appeared. A certain transfiguration professor would try to look into it, but would be distracted by plans to hide a certain stone. Things are otherwise mostly unchanged. Neville, Harry and Ronald all go to Gryffindor for their own various reasons: Gran's demands, Draco's bad impression, family pride.
Harry, while at nature bright child, a son of parents gifted in charms and transfiguration, is a victim of nurture, specifically underachieving to match Ron as the Dursley's demanded of him regarding Dudley. Harry clings to his only friend like a lifeline only to find it is an anchor in Hogwarts' social sea. Soon, Harry is lumped into a group associated with the worst grades of his year.
There is little of note until Halloween. Ronald, not a polite or tactful individual, fails miserably at the levitation charm and as Hermione is not there to assist him in this, he does not send anyone crying into the bathroom. Quirrel, as yet unaffected by Hermione's lack of presence, is a bit more successful at his attempts. The troll, not called up a set of stairs by the sound of a tearful pre-teen, stays in the dungeons, lurking through the underground passageways. Professor Dumbledore orders prefects to escort all students to their dorms, forgetting, perhaps, that the Slytherin dorms reside in those selfsame dungeons. The Slytherin prefects did their duty and escorted their housemates only to encounter the troll, attracted by the sounds of excited children, at an intersection. Purebloods, though often skilled in dark magic, have one fatal flaw: they forget the physical way of doing things. Where as two first years could manage to take out a troll by dropping its club on the creature's head, the Slytherin Prefects attempted to cast spells at the creature. This would quickly prove useless, as troll hide is almost as strong as dragonhide when it comes to protection from magic. The rather dark curses only serve to anger the creature, who swings its club, slaughtering the attackers. Many Slytherins dies that day while 12 are permanently disfigured or disabled. Among those dead are Draco Malfoy, Adrian Pucey, Theodore Nott, and a nameless fifth year halfblood who never amounted to much anyway. Pansy Parkinson, already a rather pugfaced girl, now has a distinct dent in her skull and a very short short-term memory.
Meanwhile, Quirrel and Snape have a discussion about Fluffy, Hagrid's massive dog. Snape, caught by a head, is unable to prevent the possessed man by other means. Quirrel, only momentarily set back by his former minion, easily overcomes the man, disarming him and ensuring that Fluffy gets a nice big snack. The rest of the tests, as it were, were child's play. By the time he passed Snape's logic test, there was just a pedestal in the middle of a room. The Mirror of Erised was not yet available, so the final trap was not yet in place. Quirrel and Voldemort leave the obstacle course unmolested.
Little of note happens until the first quidditch match of the season. Without Snape to counter-curse him or Hermione to realize there was some cursing going on, Harry falls, face first, from his broom, his neck snapping on impact. It was then that Albus Dumbledore had the stray thought that Quirrel might have had one chance too many. Having been playing against the Slytherins, the public outcry is especially brutal, forcing the remaining Slytherins of that seventh year to remain completely blacklisted, as are anyone with a connection to that House's quidditch team. Eventually, when converting Fluffy's dung pile into fertilizer for the greenhouse, Hagrid finds some bones that he correctly identifies as humanoid. It is at this point that Dumbledore realizes where his Potions Professor vanished to.
During the rest of the school year, Quirrel keeps up his appearance as a bumbling fool scared of his own shadow, while working hard to learn all the properties of the Philosopher's Stone. Ronald Weasley, between not having someone to push him to succeed and depression from losing his friend, fails all his courses and is forced to repeat a year, putting him on par with his younger sister.
The summer is unchanged except for a letter to 4 Privet Drive detailing the incident of their nephew's death. Petunia has a momentary laps into nostalgia and sheds a tear, but no other mention of it is made in a remorseful light. All other comments about Harry Potter involve ridicule for having died, forcing Petunia to cook all year. When neighbors inquire as to what happened, his aunt and uncle recount how their "criminally insane" nephew was killed in a gang fight in a bar. No one seems to question that an eleven-year-old was in a gangfight or in a bar, but considering Dudley's friends' behavior, it could be quite understandable.
At the end of that summer, Lucius Malfoy, angered at having lost his heir, plants a diary in Ginny Weasley's books. While this is not any different than the other universe, this time there is no one to be there when she paints messages on the wall, no one to investigate later on. Colin Creevy, disappointed to discover that the boy he had held a strong hero-worship for was dead the previous year, did not bring his camera with him everywhere, and so died instead of being petrified. Hagrid is taken to Azkaban and isn't removed even when deaths follow his incarceration. Hagrid, partially protected by his heritage, spends nearly 40 years around the dementors before finally succumbing.
Ginny Weasley's body remains in the Chamber forever. There is no last minute save. There was no one to identify that the creature was, in fact, a basilisk. Ron, frantic to save his sister, is obliviated by Lockhart, however this time it is successful. However, since her identity was never uncovered, Arthur Weasley's bill is not repealed and Lucius Malfoy essentially threw away something rather precious to his Master which would have some serious implications in the future. Ronald Weasley fails his classes for a second time, this time due to his depression over his sister's disappearance.
Albus Dumbledore is removed from Hogwarts and Minerva McGonagall is placed as Headmistress. Dumbledore is no longer in the spotlight, but now spends all his time seeking out Quirrel and Voldemort. It becomes an obsession. He ceases to eat well and more frequently forgets to bathe. Without the reveal of the Diary, there is no clue to what Voldemort had done to extend his life, sending Albus Dumbledore off in a wrong direction. It isn't long before his brother kicks him out and Albus needs to find a place on his own.
That next summer two important events take place. First, Sirius Black learns of a certain rat in Hogwarts and escapes to find him. His trip to Privet Drive is unfruitful, but he was not informed of Harry Potter's death and he wasn't about to walk up to the front door to find out. The second event was Tom Marvolo Riddle finally unlocking the secrets of the Philosopher's Stone and restoring his body.
With Harry Potter dead, Remus Lupin has no reason to teach, and so does not, staying far away from the events regarding his former friends.
Sirius Black invades Hogwarts, nearly catches the rat before being chased off by Ronald Weasley's screams. He tries again later in the year but is caught and given the Dementor's Kiss without even knowing his godson was dead. There was no last minute reveal of the truth and no last minute Time-Turner use to save him. Buckbeak lives to a ripe old age with great-great-grandchildren fluttering about.
With Harry Potter dead, and Voldemort already restored, Cedric Diggory wins the Tri-Wizard Tournament. He goes on to play for Puddlemere. The lack of deaths is incorrectly assumed to be McGonagall's fault, further darkening Dumbledore's reputation.
Without a warning from Harry Potter, there is no reason for Fudge to force his minion into Hogwarts. The year passes without incident, save for Ronald Weasley earning two OWLs.
Six years, almost to the day, of Hermione Granger's spell experiment, Death Eater attacks resume. The government, thoroughly infested with Voldemort's minions and imperioed thralls, is quite ineffective in combating the issue. Dumbledore reforms the Order of the Phoenix, but his loss of reputation calls very few to his side.
Little do most people know, but there are two individuals calling themselves Voldemort, one via Stone and one via Diary. These are not, precisely, on the same side. In fact, though they are drawing from the same pool of human resources, their goals are the same, though not in conjunction. They start fighting amongst themselves. Voldemort the Elder tends to draw from the old guard, while Voldemort the Younger tends to draw from the disenfranchised youth. The battles are Parent against Child, Uncle against Niece, Aunt against Nephew, and Death Eater against muggleborn.
Fudge, while not a Death Eater and not imperioed, is suitably manipulated by Lucius Malfoy into doing whatever the elder Voldemort wants. The Order is destroyed minus Dumbledore and a few non-combatants. The corrupt Ministry sends Nymphadora Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebolt to Azkaban for their participation in unlawful militias. Due to the constant battles and shrinking pool to draw minions from, Voldemort the Younger, not yet caught up in his "pure-blood" personae, starts drawing in Muggleborns who are starting to feel the squeeze. His numbers grow exponentially.
Eventually, after five years, Hogwarts falls. It is not a battle or some such, but a very subtle poisoning of key individuals and replacement by specifically chosen individuals. The rolls of students are released to the elder Voldemort's minions. Muggleborn families are exterminated one by one in revels that no sane person could ever be a part of.
Hermione Granger is at home when the attack happened. Her name, crossed off, but not erased from the Hogwarts rolls, was listed with an address clearly labeled for any individual to read. Neither she, nor her parents, are aware of the events taking place in the world she was almost a part of. The Obliviators were quite thorough. The attack is interrupted not by the Ministry, not by the Order, but by Voldemort the Younger's forces looking for revenge against Voldemort the Elder. The Obliviators return, doing nothing to repair the damage, only hide the evidence. Hermione Granger survives with a comatose mother, a crippled father and an unwanted pregnancy. Other than horrendous nightmares that will wake her up year after year, she has no clue as to how this happened. Medical experts are baffled.
Twelve years after Hermione Granger's magical experiment, the muggle side is clued in to the groups who were causing so many deaths. Anyone bearing a wand is labeled a terrorist and many Obliviators die when they apparate in to "fix" magical battle sites. The Leaky Cauldron is first, surveillance having revealed it to be a central location to a number of London attacks. As far as the muggle forces are concerned, this unassuming storefront is actually a terrorist cell. It is bombed. This destroys one of the Diagon Alley ward stones, dropping the muggle repelling and illusion wards over the magical shopping center. Soldiers go in. Anyone pointing a wand is considered hostile. The children recovered are taken to undisclosed locations for deprogramming and re-education into standard British society. For the most part, these children will never amount to much as they are already too old to catch up with true British education. They don't blend in with their peers. They are mocked for their outsider nature. The pureblooded children do not appreciate the irony.
With information about the magical world now available, Her Majesty's Government makes moves to clear out as much as possible. The Floo, now under muggle control, is instrumental in the take down of "magical terrorist cells." Wizards and witches, those few taken alive, break easily under muggle interrogation techniques and reveal every magical community in Britain. Those fall within weeks; adults taken to prisons, and children to re-education centers in undisclosed locations.
Voldemort the Elder frequently makes attacks against muggles, but now faces professional soldiers. His followers die almost to the man. Voldemort the Younger is wiser about the muggle world, though his information is fifty years out of date, and goes into hiding with his followers, becoming an underground organized crime syndicate.
Voldemort the Elder takes a sniper bullet to the brain pan. He is able to stay around as a shade, but he is less and less able to find supporters willing to help him regain his body. In the next five years, he is killed, each time by muggles, and resurrected five times, each time by some idiot with a want who wants to "bring back the old days." During these five years he loses more and more minions until new ones just aren't showing up and the old ones only stay because they fear the muggles more.
Albus Dumbledore is now unrecognizable. He is unwashed, his clothes tattered and worn and his mind batty. An inspector sees him lurking outside 4 Privet Drive one night. The old man is taken in to the station and eventually taken to a home as he can clearly no longer take care of himself.
Certain individuals are taken by the government and instructed to assist or be detained. Arthur Weasley is one such individual. Still having his wife, six children, four daughters-in-law and two infant grandchildren, he complies for his family's sake. His assistance is instrumental in the downfall of Hogwarts. He never forgives himself.
Twenty years after Hermione Granger's magical experiment, there is no Ministry of Magic; there is no Diagon Alley; there is no Hogsmeade; there is no Hogwarts. Wizards and witches are taught in standard schools set up by the muggle British government, weeded out for ability. Blood and ancestry mean nothing. Wands are still made by Ollivander, but are only given to those who Her Majesty's government decides are worthy based on grades and personality profiles. Merit is the order of the day.
Twenty years after Hermione Granger's magical experiment, no one remembers Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore or Voldemort as anything more than legends. The evidence is gone, no records remain. They are myths, urban legends told over campfires.
I have seen this world as I have seen many others. It is different, very much so. A simple change causes everything to be different. A drop of water, a butterfly flapping its wings. A simple question of "What if...?"
I don't own Uatu, Marvel does.

Kids can't speak out for themselves but YOU can help make their voices heard through Children's Action Alliance.
Here is our latest action alert:
Congress is rushing to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) with no guarantee that people in Arizona will have protections for pre-existing conditions or access to quality, affordable health insurance. This would leave children, seniors and people with disabilities at risk, knowing that they may have to stop critical treatments such as cancer care and prescription drugs.
Lawmakers could vote as soon as January to repeal the Affordable Care Act. That's why we need you to email our Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake TODAY, asking them to vote NO on repealing the ACA until there is a replacement plan that shows Arizonans how they will get affordable health coverage. Simply go to the websites, fill in the contact forms and feel free to use this pre-written message and send. Your email will go directly to Arizona's senators right away. Please forward this email on to your networks!
You may copy and paste the message below:
I ask you to protect children, seniors, and people with disabilities. Please insist on a specific health care plan that will assure we have the security of affordable health insurance before you vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
We're counting on you to stand up against the usual Washington tactics. Arizonans deserve to know exactly what is in a replacement plan and see proof that it will provide better, more affordable care, coverage, and consumer protections BEFORE any repeal.
Our own state healthcare leaders say that a repeal with a delay could take billions of dollars out of Arizona's economy, throwing our health care sector into chaos, threatening the survival of rural hospitals, wiping out jobs, and leaving entrepreneurs and small businesses at high risk.
Please vote No on any repeal of the Affordable Care Act without a simultaneous replacement.
Thank you.

And although game prices have generally stayed the same, says Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter, the cost of entertainment, such as movie tickets and sporting events, has risen. "I think consumers expect
a price hike ," says Pachter. "They've gotten a gift that game prices haven't gone up." Pachter, Kotick and some other analysts believe that consumers will readily pay more for games. In his presentation, Kotick said that when Activision released Doom for the current Xbox, it debuted two versions of the game: a special-edition package for about $60 and a regular edition at $50. Sales of the more expensive edition comprised more than half of the units Activision ended up selling, Kotick said. Prices haven't risen on games in recent years, because "the publishers have all been wimps," says Pachter, whose company has no banking relationship with the companies mentioned. Most analysts don't doubt that publishers will likely be able to charge a premium for special editions of games. And for the few blockbuster titles out there, publishers will probably have wide latitude in what they charge, analysts say. "I think there's no doubt that for the next version of Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto, there's another $10 on the table if they choose to take it," says Steve Monticelli, a fund manager with Mosaic Investments, who keeps close tabs on the video-game sector but has no current positions in it. But many analysts doubt that publishers will be able to sustain a broader price jump. The cost to make games might be rising, but that doesn't mean consumers will pay more for them, say these analysts. "I don't think the consumer cares" about developing costs rising, says Spiegel, who, through options, has synthetic long positions in Take-Two and Nintendo. "Looking to the consumer for compassion is a pretty bad idea."

Is First Solar Stock The Best Clean Tech Pick?
- Utilities are working to discourage residential solar with high fees
- First Solar bypasses the controversy by selling plants directly to utilities
- SolarCity is a company worth watching, but not worth buying
"First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win." The famous aphorism of Mahatma Gandhi can also be applied to businesses, and new industries.
The Fight For Residential Solar
U.S. solar energy has now reached the third stage, having added 7 GWatts of power this year alone. Utilities and politicians are stepping up their fight against the industry. With solar panels now costing less, per-kilowatt, than other forms of grid energy in many places, residential solar is becoming a partisan issue. This is impacting solar stocks.
The leading companies in the sector – First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR), SunPower (NASDAQ:SPWR), Solar City (NASDAQ:SCTY) and Trina Solar (NYSE:TSL) – have all lost one-third of their market cap over the last year. That's more than 20% loss of oil majors like Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), but much less than the 80% loss of oil exploration firms like Whiting Petroleum (NYSE:WLL).
Source: First Solar stock vs SolarCity Stock price comparison chart by amigobulls.com
Utilities like Southern California Edison have fared better, gaining 4%, but solar threatens the CapEx used to calculate rates, since a homeowner owns his own energy supply. So there is a growing movement , which Southern California Edison has now joined, to impose monthly fees on residential panel owners, in order to discourage that part of the industry.
SolarCity, which is in that residential business, is in the utilities' crosshairs. The company is fighting back by selling its own storage systems, hoping to make its customers completely independent from utility grids. This is not the same battery as the PowerWall that Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) introduced earlier this year.
First Solar Sidesteps the Battle
For companies like First Solar, which focus on utility-owned solar power, none of this is not relevant. The company reported strong earnings in August, net income of $94.5 million, 93 cents per share, on revenue of $896 million, which compared with $4.5 million in net income and $544 million in revenue a year earlier. But the controversy has hit Sun Edison (NYSE:SUNE), which does residential installations, and whose shares have cratered 65% since July after posting a loss of $263 million, 89 cents per share, on revenues of $455 million for June, compared with a loss of just $41 million, 21 cents per share, and revenue of $431 million a year earlier.
Residential companies also differ from utility companies on their balance sheets. Since they finance what they sell their books show enormous debt, over 50% of assets in SUNE's case, while First Solar's balance sheet shows negligible debt.
The irony here is that First Solar is using a cadmium-telluride technology where efficiency improvements are modest. The best First Solar modules convert less than 20% of the energy striking them into electricity.
SunPower, by contrast, currently sells a silicon-based solar module with an efficiency of 21.5% and Sharp's "triple junction" cells, which has not yet reached commercial production but also use silicon, showed efficiency of 44%.
The Bottom Line
The bottom line is that buying solar stocks is not like buying other energy stocks. The company's technology matters, how it sells its product matters, and its ability to keep up with competition matters, as Chinese-maker Yingli Solar (NYSE:YGE) could be gone within a year. Right now First Solar stock is the pick of the litter, but speculators like SolarCity stock because of the Musk connection. I think they're paying too much for the name given the risk, but watch the company closely.

Hello Khun Daniel and Khun Mac, Thank you for making my stay at Club One Seven pleasant as always. The new look of the hotel is fantastic, with colorful, modern and spacious lobby. Though I miss the homey front yard with lots of trees, the new front is comfortable as well. The room was meticulously clean with different towel art each day, I noticed some new animal towels that I've never seen before. There are several new staffs this time, and they are as wonderful, friendly, polite and have great service-mind as all the staffs of Club One Seven I've known for five years. Khun Daniel, Khun Mac and all the staff went out of their way to make sure all the guests feel welcome. It really make Club One Seven "home away from home". Thanks for all of that, and see you again soon. Cheers, Wut

This is a lovely little resort, beautiful old teak houses set in a lush garden. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and as others have said it did feel like you were at home. I was a bit worried about the sauna making this a little on the raunchy side but not at all- the atmosphere is very laid back with gentle music - and the sight of a few handsome locals in towels certainly helps, even if you don't participate! I will definitely be returning soon.

The beautiful teak house Club One Seven in Chiang Mai is a gem. At first sight it may seem a bit forbidding from the street but once past the door you find yourself in an oasis of friendliness and cordiality. Aof and his staff really spoiled us in all sorts of ways and did their utmost to make us feel at home, so Club One Seven really became our home away from home. Thanks guys and till next time!

A B&B as it should be. You feel immediately at ease:a warm welcome by the manager and staff and there is a real gay atmosphere. You can't say that from every itself gay calling accommodation. Thai or Western breakfast: you get what you want. There is more than breakfast alone: good and tasty food for dinner. The room we had was spacious and clean with a comfortable and large bed. Coming back from the beach, you can take a shower near the swimming pool to get rid of the sand and relax on one of the beds in the garden. Lovely place to stay.

I and my friend had a wonderful time in Club One Seven Chiang Mai. A spacious stylish decorated room in Thai style with a romantic view on the river Ping and a comfortable four polster bed. The friendly and helpful staff spoiled us in every way. On request we got real Thai breakfast northern style: delicious. After trekking through the city or country you can relax in a well equipped sauna with ample relax rooms. You'll never be alone....

never before did it occure to me, what "home away from home" could possibly mean, considering a hotel or guest house. I don't know what happened, when I checked in on the 10th of November 2010 - I experienced the most wonderful and warm welcome, like coming home after being away for a long time. I felt at home right away - and, when I left on the 28th of November, it was like departing from my family, whom I loved dearly all my life. What else can you say? Daniel and his staff are so wonderful in their own personal behaviour, making you feel the most important person in their establishment. I loved every minute, and I should like to express my thanks to you wonderful people

Friday Funny: Man Encourages Neighborhood to Secede
Jim Massey of East Pennsboro Township, Pennsylvania is unhappy about plans to build a new apartment complex in his neighborhood, so he's encouraging his neighbors to secede from East Pennsboro and join a nearby town.
From WGAL NEWS: "Massey's secession plan involves neighboring Wormleysburg Borough. He's hoping the borough will adopt his neighborhood, incorporate it into its borough and then nix the apartments."
Apparently Mr. Massey is serious, and has announced his plan to attend a Wormsleyburg City Council meeting and to propose they annex his neighborhood.

(Scene opens up in a scary movie Phineas and Ferb are watching.)
Mad scientist: You know what we're going to do today, Talbo? It's time to test...THE TELEPORT! (Flips a switch, causing the teleports to activate. Talbo teleports to the one to the right, only get to singed.) Eureka! Now I can teleport myself anywhere in the world!
Talbo: Wouldn't you have to take one of those teleport things there first? Oh, but then you'd already be there. It kinda renders the whole thing redundant, doesn't it?
Mad scientist: Do you want me to remove your tongue again, Talbo?
(Shift to Phineas and Ferb watching the movie)
Phineas: Cool! (turns off TV with the remote) I know what we can do today, Ferb. (chuckles while Ferb covers his mouth with his hands) No, not the tongue thing. The teleporter.
Linda: (off screen) Hey, boys.
(Linda crawls by)
Phineas: Hey, Mom. Ferb and I are gonna build a teleport device.
Linda: (oblivious) Oh, great. I wish to teleport to where my earrings are. I've lost them.
Phineas: The dangly smoky topaz or the hoops?
Linda: Hoops.
Phineas: Oh, she must be wearing the blue dress. We'll keep an eye out for 'em. (at Ferb) Come on, Ferb. We're burnin' daylight.

You're not supposed to be here.

I told Phineas and Ferb to keep you outta my room. (kicks the bedroom door open as she's holding Perry) I'm gonna give them a piece of my mind.
Candace: Mom! Do you know where Phineas and Ferb are?
Linda: They're in the garage, honey.
Candace: Oh, by the way, Jeremy's gonna be here soon. Please try not to embarrass me in front of him again.
Linda: What do you mean, again?
Candace: Remember my fifth-grade graduation with the inflatable–
Linda: Oh, that's right. My bad.

Phineas: This is a glorious day for mankind. Ready with the camera so we can document it?
(Ferb gets ready with the camera)
Phineas: Cheese!

Candace: How many times have I told you to keep Perry out of my room?! (notices the teleports) What are those?
Phineas: Teleports. Pretty cool, huh?
Candace: You guys are so bus – Aah! (trips on a controller, disappears through one teleport, and appears from the other)
Phineas: Cool. It worked. (suddenly looks concerned) Candace? Are you OK?

Candace/Perry: Oh, you think? You guys better change me back now or I'll... Wait...JEREMY'S GONNA BE HERE SOON!

Caring for an older patient requires discussing sensitive topics. Many older people have a "don't ask, don't tell" relationship with healthcare providers about certain problems, such as driving, urinary incontinence, or sexuality. Hidden health issues, such as memory loss or depression, are a challenge. Addressing problems related to safety and independence, such as giving up one's driver's license or moving to assisted living, also can be difficult.
You may feel awkward and tempted to avoid addressing some of these concerns because you don't know how to help patients solve the problem. The information here gives an overview of techniques for broaching sensitive subjects, as well as resources for more information or support.
Try to take a universal, non-threatening approach. Start by saying, "You are not alone, many people experience..." or "Some people taking this medication have trouble with..." Try: "I have to ask you a lot of questions, some that might seem silly. Please don't be offended..."
Another approach is to tell anecdotes about patients in similar circumstances as a way to ease your patient into the discussion. Of course, always maintain patient confidentiality to reassure the patient with whom you are talking that you won't disclose personal information about him or her.
Some patients avoid issues that they think are inappropriate to discuss with clinicians. One way to overcome this is to keep informative brochures and materials readily available in the waiting room. Organizations offering relevant resources are listed within each topic area. NIA also has free online and print publications, some of which are listed at the end of this chapter.
Recommending that a patient limit driving—or that a patient give up his or her driver's license—is one of the most difficult topics a doctor has to address. Driving is associated with independence and identity, and making the decision not to drive is very hard.
As with other difficult subjects, try to frame it as a common concern of many patients. Mention, for instance, that certain health conditions can lead to slowed reaction times and impaired vision. In addition, it may be harder to move the head to look back, quickly turn the steering wheel, or safely hit the brakes.
"Many people your age experience similar problems."
During a regular exam, Mr. Abayo, age 80, acknowledges that trouble with his shoulder started after he had a car accident. "Many of my patients are worried about being safe drivers," Dr. Carli says. "I know it can be hard to stop driving, but maybe your children can help you get around. I can also suggest some transportation services in the area." She gives Mr. Abayo a pamphlet on older drivers and the phone number of a local transportation resource.
When applicable, warn patients about medications that may make them sleepy or impair judgment. Also, a device such as an automatic defibrillator or pacemaker might cause irregular heartbeats or dizziness that can make driving dangerous.
Ask the patient about any car accidents. You might ask if she or he has thought about alternative transportation methods if driving is no longer an option. Your local Area Agency on Aging may be able to help patients find alternative methods of transportation. Contact the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 for your Area Agency on Aging.

Elder Abuse and Neglect
Be alert to the signs and symptoms of elder abuse. If you notice that a patient delays seeking treatment or offers improbable explanations for injuries, for example, you may want to bring up your concerns. The laws in most States require healthcare professionals to report suspected abuse or neglect.
Older people caught in an abusive situation are not likely to say what is happening to them for fear of reprisal or because of diminished cognitive abilities. If you suspect abuse, ask about it in a constructive, compassionate tone.
If the patient lives with a family caregiver, you might start by saying that caregiver responsibilities can cause a lot of stress. Stress sometimes may cause caregivers to lose their temper. You can assist by recommending a support group or alternative arrangements, such as respite care. Give the patient opportunities to bring up this concern, but if necessary, raise the issue yourself.
If a family member or other caregiver accompanies the patient to an appointment, you might ask the companion to step out of the exam room during part of the visit so that you can express your concern.

End of Life and Advance Directives
Many older people have thought about the prospect of their own death and are willing to discuss their wishes regarding end-of-life care. You can help ease some of the discomfort simply by being open and willing to talk about dying and related issues or concerns.
You may feel uncomfortable raising the issue, fearing that patients will assume the end is near. But, in fact, this conversation is best begun well before end-of-life care is appropriate. It may be helpful to talk about a patient's thoughts, values, and desires related to end-of-life care early in your relationship, perhaps when first discussing medical and family history.
Let your patients know that advance care planning is a part of good health care. You can say that, increasingly, people realize the importance of making plans while they are still healthy. You can let them know that these plans can be revised and updated over time or as their health changes.
With a healthy patient, an advance care planning discussion can be relatively brief. Encourage your patients to share the type of care they would choose to have at the end of life, rather than what they don't want. Suggest they discuss end-of-life decisions with family members and other important people in their lives.
Be sure to put a copy of the signed living will, durable power of attorney for health care, or other documents discussing do not resuscitate orders, organ/tissue donation, dialysis, and blood transfusions in the medical record. Too often, forms are completed but cannot be found when needed. Many organizations now photocopy the forms on neon-colored paper, which is easy to spot in the medical record.
Considering End of Life
If your patient is in the early stages of an illness, it's important to assess whether or not the underlying process is reversible. It's also a good time to discuss how the illness is likely to progress. If your patient is in the early stages of a cognitive problem, it is especially important to discuss advance directives.
Of course, it is not always easy to determine who is close to death; even experienced clinicians find that difficult to predict. If you have already talked with your patient about end-of-life concerns, it still can be hard to know the right time to re-introduce this issue.
Stay alert to cues that the patient may want to talk about this subject again. Some clinicians find it helpful to ask, "Would I be surprised if Mr. Flowers were to die this year?" If the answer is "no," then it makes sense to address end-of-life concerns with the patient and family, including pain and symptom management, home health, and hospice care. You can offer to help patients review their advance directives. Include any updates in the patient's medical record to ensure he or she receives desired care.
For some older people, spirituality takes on new meaning as they age or face serious illness. How a patient views the afterlife can also sometimes help in framing the conversation about serious illness and end-of-life care. Clinicians have found that very direct and simple questions are the best way to broach this subject. You might start, for instance, by asking, "What has helped you to deal with challenges in the past?"

Financial Barriers
Rising healthcare costs make it difficult for some people to follow treatment regimens. Your patients may be too embarrassed to mention financial concerns. Studies have shown that many clinicians also are reluctant to bring up costs.
If possible, designate an administrative staff person who has good bedside manner to discuss money and payment questions. This person can also talk with your patient about changes in Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage plans and the Affordable Care Act.

More than half of women and more than one quarter of men age 65 and older report experiencing some urinary leakage. Several factors can contribute to incontinence. Childbirth, infection, certain medications, and some illnesses are examples.
Additionally, people of any age can have a bowel control problem, though fecal incontinence is more frequent in older adults. Fecal incontinence has many causes, such as muscle damage or weakness, nerve damage, loss of stretch in the rectum, hemorrhoids, and rectal prolapse.
Incontinence may go untreated because patients are often embarrassed to mention it. Be sure to ask specifically about the problem. Try the "some people" approach. For example, you might say "When some people cough or sneeze, they leak urine. Have you had this problem?" You may want to explain that incontinence can often be significantly improved, for instance through bladder or bowel training, pelvic floor exercises and biofeedback, changes in diet and nutrition, as well as medication and surgery for certain types of incontinence.

Long-Term Care
Long-term care includes informal caregiving, assisted living, home health services, adult day care, nursing homes, and community-based programs.
Early in your relationship with an older patient, you can begin to talk about the possibility that he or she may eventually require long-term care of some kind. By raising this topic, you are helping your patient think about what he or she might need in the future and how to plan for those needs. For instance, you might talk about what sort of assistance you think your patient will need, how soon in the future he or she will need the extra help, and where he or she might get this assistance.

Mental Health
Despite many public campaigns to educate people about mental health and illness, there is still a stigma attached to mental health problems. Some older adults may find mental health issues difficult to discuss.
Such conversations, however, can be lifesavers. Primary care doctors have a key opportunity to recognize when a patient is depressed and/or suicidal. Many older patients who commit suicide saw a primary care physician within the previous month. This makes it especially important for you to be alert to the signs and symptoms of depression.
As with other subjects, try a general approach to bringing up mental health concerns. For example, "A lot of us develop sleep problems as we get older, but this can be a sign of depression, which sometimes we can treat." Because older adults may have atypical symptoms, it is important to listen closely to what your patient has to say about trouble sleeping, lack of energy, and general aches and pains. It is easy to dismiss these as "just aging" and leave depression undiagnosed and therefore untreated.

An understanding, accepting attitude can help promote a more comfortable discussion of sexuality. Try to be sensitive to verbal and other cues. Don't assume that an older patient is heterosexual, no longer sexually active, or does not care about sex. Research has found that a majority of older Americans are sexually active and view intimacy as an important part of life.
Depending on indications earlier in the interview, you may decide to approach the subject directly. For example, "Are you satisfied with your sex life?" Or, you might approach it more obliquely, with allusions to changes that sometimes occur in marriage. If appropriate, follow up on patient cues.
You might note that patients sometimes have concerns about their sex lives and then wait for a response. It is also effective to share anonymous anecdotes about a person in a similar situation or to raise the issue in the context of physical findings. For example, "Some people taking this medication have trouble... Have you experienced anything like that?"
Don't forget to talk with your patient about the importance of safe sex. For example, "It's been a while since your husband died. If you are considering dating again, would you like to talk about how to have safe sex?" Any person, regardless of age, who has unprotected sex can be at risk of sexually transmitted diseases.

Substance Abuse
Alcohol and drug abuse are major public health problems, even for older adults. Sometimes, people can become dependent on alcohol or other drugs as they confront the challenges of aging, even if they did not have a problem when younger. Because baby boomers have a higher rate of lifetime substance abuse than did their parents, the number of people in this age group needing treatment is likely to grow.
One approach you might try is to mention that some medical conditions can become more complicated as a result of alcohol and other drug use. Another point to make is that alcohol and other drugs can increase the side effects of medication, or even reduce the medicine's effectiveness. From this starting point, you may find it easier to talk about alcohol or other drug use.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I want to name our joint revocable trust simply: for example "Lastname Trust" but my attorney tells me that this may spell trouble down the line as people will not know if it is revocable or irrevocable.
My position is that those who need to know will be getting the pertinent pages of the trust anyway and the trust structure will be evident. Should I relent and include the word "revocable" in the name of the trust?
Go for it! You could call it peanut butter and jelly trust if you want... sure there may be some grinding in the gears, but the name of the trust is UP TO YOU!
This is not legal advice. I am not your lawyer. You are not my client. You cannot rely on my response to your question. My response to your question is probably worth exactly what you paid for it. You don't get to sue me for anything. If you'd like to sue me, well you have to hire me first.Ask a similar question
First of all, congratulations! It is great that you are actively choosing how to handle your estate now, than later. As for you specific question, I agree with Attorney Carrier; your trust can be named any way you wish. The transparency of what type of trust agreement it is will be less, but, as you say, anyone receiving a copy of the trust will be able to read the pertinent pages to determine that in any case. The only caveat is to ensure that those "pertinent" parts are described fully and accurately; if not, then the trust may fail to accomplish what you want it to do. Your attorney is likely trying to err on the side of caution just in case the trust fails to do just that. If you are still bent on having it way, then remember you pay to retain your attorney's counsel but do not have to follow it. Good luck!
The general answer provided herein cannot substitute for personalized attention to your specific legal concerns. Also, providing an answer to your question does not constitute in any manner whatsoever a client-attorney relationship or privilege between us. The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements or the like. Before you decide which attorney to retain, please ask for free written information about qualifications and experience.Ask a similar question
It is awkward for attorneys to give you advice when you are currently represented by an attorney.
Most trusts that I create for my clients do not use the word revocable in the title and the language in the trust controls what type of trust that is created.
The answer given does not imply that an attorney-client relationship has been established and your best course of action is to have legal representation in this matter.Ask a similar question
I understand the awkwardness but appreciate your experience. Why would you not you typically not use the word "revocable" in the title of a RLT?
I think I can jump in here - for me, using the term Revocable can be confusing once the Grantors have passed because the trust is now NOT revocable. Ergo, the use of the word revocable seems to present more problems in the future than are necessary. A trust name can be ANYTHING. Just make sure whatever name you choose is referenced accurately within the trust document itself.
I agree with my colleagues. Those attorneys were probably not estate attorneys.
It is important that you understand I am not your attorney and you are not my client. Legal advice requires knowledge of pertinent facts, which cannot adequately be communicated in this manner. I am licensed in Florida and New York only so advice in any other jurisdiction is strictly general advice and should be confirmed with an attorney licensed in that jurisdiction.Ask a similar question
I've had a Florida Department of Revenue Documentary Stamp Tax Auditor tell me that her rule of thumb is to presume that Florida Documentary Stamp Taxes are not imposed on real estate record transfers to revocable trusts or their trustees, but are imposed on transfers to irrevocable trusts or their trustees. If you are dealing with a revocable trust, and you will be recording deeds in Florida, I'd therefore vote for use of the word "revocable" in the name of the trust. The audit request letters and any follow up in person meeting with the FDOR required in the event of an audit or review are a hassle. Why not try to avoid that up front? Also, if you ever have to finance or refinance any Florida real property related to the trust, the word "revocable" in the trust name may also help increase the lender's comfort level from the start, and speed up the process. Beyond those considerations, we are talking personal and professional preferences versus legal effect of the name chosen.Ask a similar question
I also agree with the attorneys answering your question. You can choose any name for your trust. The operative terms will be in the body of the trust and not the title. In order for a trust to be irrevocable, it must contain specific language (not just a title). Additionally, the statutes in Florida state that a trust is deemed revocable, unless the trust specifically states it is an irrevocable trust. Please see 736.0602 Revocation or amendment of revocable trust.—
(1) Unless the terms of a trust expressly provide that the trust is irrevocable, the settlor may revoke or amend the trust. This subsection does not apply to a trust created under an instrument executed before the effective date of this code

Hi, since v2.1.0 Apache crashes at every start with an "unhandled exception error in apache.exe (libapr.dll):0xC0000005: Access violation". I can compile the latest snapshots with 0 errors and 0 warnings. If I exchange the libapr.dll with one from a v2.044-dev then Apache starts. But later when I want to access a html-page I get another exception in libaprutil.dll. Apache runs into 100% CPU load and in the error.log I can see many [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting. until I stop Apache. So since one week after compiling a new snapshot i have to exchange these dlls and I don't know why:-( Juergen
