I agree! Her 7th birthday is Monday and my coworkers were throwing money at this kid because of it. I swear she walked out of here with $20 in singles. I thought that was really weird.

Not to give a kid birthday money, but a coworker's grandkid whom you just met? Is that a thing grow ups are supposed to do?

I don't know why this makes me IA, and I feel bad but... a friend of mine had a cancer scare recently, and mostly dealt with it in private and just told a few close friends. He got the tentative all clear today, and so put a message up in the online group we're part of. So everyone says yay for him and he jokes about it and all is well. So later today I see that this girl in our group has posted a youtube video for him , of a talk show with a comedian talking about having the same kind of cancer.
And I'm like, really? Who thinks: oh hey "people talking about cancer" hey person who might have had cancer but actually doesn't, you might enjoy this?
I get that she thought it was a funny conversation and it kind of is but ugh it just sat SO wrong for me.

Better question is maybe how he reacted to it?
I was sick in one of the more comical areas of one's anatomy, so I was okay with the humor. Last summer, one of our executive guys told a girl in the office who had recovered from thyroid cancer that her new nickname was "Deep Throat", and well, that one didn't go over so well.

whoa. yeah I can't imagine why not. crikey.
he had the cancer scare in the comical region too, actually had the orchiectomy. overall he's been really open about it and LOVES a good laugh, so I know he'll be cool with the vid.
The more I think about it the more I'm just being catty, maybe it's more I don't like this girl than I don't like what she posted. :/

one night we got a lot of snow and I had to go 15 miles on the highway, but it was late and there was nearly no traffic. after about 10 minutes a guy in a huge truck gets on and slides up riiiight behind me. I'm going only 30, but he doesn't pass me (don't blame him - I couldn't see the road!) - instead he just stays about 6 feet behind me ALL THE WAY HOME, with his supercharged lights reflecting right off my mirror. several times I hit pure black ice and couldn't accel at all. I wanted to go faster but if I hit the accelerator any harder I would spin out. I wanted to shout "Hey asshole, it's just you and me on the road, if you want to get there safely all you have to do is NOT HIT ME!!!"

I wish I could learn not to waffle because I get so IA when my dad does it.
(So almost every day when I lived with him I would inevitably say something impatient and then HE'd get angry and call me petulant and childish and then start again even more longwindedly and a giant family-wide meltdown would start, all the time, over some minor thing like "what should I write on this form" or "did you put the kettle on". Sigh.)

At least wearing Vans of the same style (slip-ons?) but totally different patterns could be thought of by most people who see you today as intentional. I once wore two nearly identical but not quite black sandals to work. It wasn't until about 3 that I realized I'd spent the whole day wearing odd shoes.

Hamden, Conn., assignors, by mesn'e assignments, to The Seamless Rubber Company, New Haven, Conn., a corporation of Connecticut Continuation of application Serial No. 74,108, April 13, 1936. This application October 7, 1937, Serial No. 167,772
8 Claims.
This invention relates to water bags, and more particularly to a receptacle designed to be watertight which may be employed as a hot water bag, but which will at the same time have a neck or mouth of sufiicient size so that the receptacle may readily be filled with pieces of ice, and which will be provided with a connection for a syringe tube so that it may also be used as a syringe. Certain features of our invention, however, are desirable for use in devices for one or more of the purposes above named, and are not necessarily restricted to a bag or receptacle which is used for all of the three stated objects.
It is more or less common to combine a hot water bag and syringe into a single device, that is, to provide a rubber bag or similar receptacle with a filling opening which may be closed against leakage, and also with a connection for a syringe tube which may also be closed when it is desired to use the device as a hot water bottle. However, such a receptacle has not been well adapted for use as an ice bag, owing to the fact that the filling opening is usually of relatively small size and will not receive sufliciently large pieces of ice. If the filling opening was of large size, difilculty was encountered in closing this opening tightly against leakage, or, if a screw plug was employed, the bag would be unwieldy and awkward or uncomfortable to use.
The present invention, however, has for one of its objects the provision of a three-in-one receptacle which may be used as a hot water bag, as an ice bag, or as the receptacle for a fountain syringe.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a receptacle formed of waterproof material so that it may contain water, which is provided with a relatively large filling neck through which cracked ice may be inserted, and which also embodies means for effectively closing said filling neck when the bag or receptacle is in use to prevent leakage of the contents.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a bag or receptacle of the character described, which is provided with a filling neck of relatively large size and of flexible material, whereby this neck may be folded within the outline of the receptacle itself and the latter closed over the neck to conceal the neck from view.
Another object of the invention is the provision of a water-tight receptacle which when closed will have a smooth exterior outline, and will be provided with no projecting necks or tabs such water bottles.
A still further object of the invention is the provision of a water-tight receptacle having a filling neck, and means for closing said neck against leakage, and also being provided with a secondary closure within which the neck may be contained, so that the latter is concealed and lies within the regular outline of the receptacle when the secondary closure is in closed position.
To these and other ends the invention consists in the novel features and combinations of parts to be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings:
Fig. 1 is a front elevational view of a combined hot water bag, ice bag, and fountain syringe receptacle embodying our invention, the device being shown in closed position;
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing the device with the filling neck extended ready to be filled;
Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1, the receptacle being in a reverse or upside-down position for Fig. 5 is a partial sectional view on line 5-5 of Fig. 4;
Fig. 6 is a sectional view on line 6-6 of Fig. 8 showing the parts in fully closed position;
Fig. '7 is a sectional view on line 'I- -I of Fig. 6;
Fig. 8 is a sectional view on line 8-8 of Fig. 6;
Fig. 9 is an elevational view of the lock bar secured to the filler neck;
Fig. 10 is a sectional view on line Ill-Ill of Fig. 3; and
Fig. 11 is an enlarged section on line I I--ll of Fig; 1.
To illustrate a preferred embodiment of our invention, we have shown a waterproof bag or receptacle l0 which maybe and preferably is made of rubber, as is usual with hot water bags of this character. As shown, for example, in Figs. 4, '7 and 8, the bag I0 is open across its entire top. and for a short distance down each side. At the edges formed by this opening a fastening means is provided to secure the edges together. As shown, this means may be in the form of the ordinary zippers or hookless fasteners H, which may be mounted upon tapes i2, the tapes in turn being secured to the rubber walls of the bag. The usual slider I 3 is provided to effect the opening and closing of the fasteners.
The closure just described may be termed the secondary closure of the receptacle, as this does not form the water-tight or leak-proof closure for the watercontaining portion of the device. That closure will, however, now bedescribed. A
' filler neck It is provided whiclfle'ads into the inthe filling neck II when the latter is in the posisecured to the wall by the projecting partition portions I1 and I8, shown more particularly in Fig. 7.
It will be seen with reference to Fig. 4 that the neck I4 is relatively long, and when in extended position, as when it is ready for filling, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5,'projects from the opening at the upper end of the receptacle III through the closure II. This neck forms the primary closure of the water-tight receptacle, and, as wil be hereinafter explained, is of flexible material and adapted to be folded or rolled andtucked within the upper portion of the bag l so that it will not only be leak-proof but will be concealed from sight.
It will be noted, of course, that thelower end of the neck I 4 is some distance below the upper end of the bag l0, so that considerable space is provided between the shoulders or projections l1 and [8, as shown in Fig. 7, and the top closure of'the bag, thus providing a space in the form of a pocket within which the neck Il may be disposed when folded. In order that the folding operation may be effected conveniently. and in order that it may be locked in place after being folded, a lock bar is provided which is shown more especially in Fig. 9. This lock bar consists of a pair of end members ['9 and 20 provided with angularly disposed portions 2| and 22 forming hooks in connection with the portions I9 and 20.
The members Ill-and 20 are joined by a fiat bar 23, and also extending between them is a rod 24 which may be inserted through a tubular boss 25 carried upon the side of the neck It. This rod may be conveniently pased through the boss or sleeve 25, and thereafter secured by rivetingto the members I! and 20 in order to secure the lock bar to the neck. The position of the lock bar when secured in place is shown in Fig. 2, from which it will be seen. that the bar 23 rests against the wall of the neck above the tubular boss or sleeve 25, and that the end members I 9 and 20 lie just beyond the side edges of the neck H, as the length of the bar 23 and rod 24 correspond substantially with the width of the filling neck.
0n the inner surface of the walls of the receptacle l0 adjacent the upper end thereof and within the space above the: members l and IS a pair of hooks or catch members 26 are provided, these members being preferably formed of rubber and being molded upon the wall of the bag or receptacle III, which is of the same material. As shown in Fig. 4. one of these hooks or catch members is provided adjacent each side edge of the bag. Upon the opposite wall of the bag and located substantially opposite but slightly above the members 28 are a pair of stop members 21, which may also bev molded integrally with the bag wall. The members 26 and 21 are designed to cooperate with the lock members 19 and 20 to hold the neck in closed position within the mouth of the receptacle and below the closure I2.
The bag is filled with water or ice through tion shown in Figs. 2, 4 and 5. It being desired to close the bag, the members I! and 20 are grasped between the fingers and the lock bar is turned downwardly away from the observer, as
shown in Fig. 2, or to the right, as shown in,
Fig. 5, so as to roll or fold up the flexible neck l4. As shown, it is designed that the lock bar be given one and a half complete turns, or three half turns, at the end of which movement the neck will be folded or rolled into the position shown in Figs. 7 and 8, and the hook members originally at the upper edges of the members I! .and 20 will lie in reverse position at the lower edges of these members. so as to engage below the hooks or catch members 28, as shown in Fig. 8. The upper ends of the members I! and 20, as
"--.shown in this figure, will abut against the stops 21, and thus this member will be eflectively held in position and the neck M will be prevented from unrolling. The walls of the neck will be tightly pressed together in this position so that there will be no danger of leakage regardless of the position in which the bag may be, and the folded neck. as apparent from Figs. 7 and 8, will lie within the upper portion of the receptacle below the closure I2, so that the latter may be closed and the folded neck completely concealed from view. The bag willthen have the appearance shown in Figs.'1 and 6.
In order that our device may be employed as a fountain syringe aswell as a hot water bag and ice bag, we have provided in one of the walls a means for connection with a tube, which connection will lead to the interior or chamber of the bag. As one means of accomplishing this result, there is formed upon one of the walls of the bag, and in this instance adjacent the upper end thereof, a valve housing '28 within which is mounted a valve plug 29. This plug is provided with a laterally extending flange 30 adapted to seat in a corresponding recess in the body 28 to hold the plug in place, and is also provided with an opening 3| extending inwardly from the exterior thereof part way through the valve body. From the bottom of this opening to the inner end, the valve member is split longitudinally into two parts, as shown at 32.
A nipple member 33, connected at the end of a rubber syringe tube 34 of the usual form, is designed to be inserted through the opening 3! and between the inner portions of the valve 23 through the split 32. As shown, for example in Fig. 10, this will cause the inner end portions of the valve member to be spread apart so that the nipple 33 will communicate with the interior of the receptacle. As will also be apparent from Fig. 7, when the nipple is withdrawn, the portions of the valve body on opposite sides of the split 32 will return to tightly abutting relation so as to effectively seal the valve opening against leakage. In another aspect there is provided a means automatically operable by the insertion of a nipple-equipped syringe tube into a socketed' portion on or associated with the bag wall, for
opening communication between the bag interior and the passage in the tube.
Although the invention in all of its aspects is not limited to the particular type of connection between the receptacle and the syringe tube 34, the preferred form of connection which is illustrated will be found quite advantageous, as the valve 29 is a self-closing valve, and no screw stopper or other closing device is required which may become lost in the use of the article. It is only necessary to insert the nipple 33 in position within the valve to establish the proper connection of the tube 34 so as to adapt the device for use as a syringe, and likewise it is only necessary to withdraw this nipple and the valve 29 will be self-sealing against leakage, and the device will be ready for use as a hot water bag or ice bag.
Adjacent its lower end the wall of the bag It may be provided with a thickened portion 35 through which an opening 36 is provided, so that the bag may be suspended from a nail, hook or the like, the opening 36 through the side wall of the bag communicating with an opening or slot 31 formed in the bottom or lower edge of the bag, also within the thickened portion 35. In case a hook is used, the free end thereof may be accommodated in the slot 31. This provision obviates the necessity of any projecting tab or the likev which would not conform to the lines of the bag itself.
Our improved bag as herein shown has a neat, attractive appearance inasmuch as when closed it presents the shape of a shallow rectangular body with rounded corners and rounded edges. The bag is streamlined as distinguished from one having unsightly projections, and yet it has satisfactory leak-proof closure means, syringe-tubeconnecting means, and suspension provisions.
While we have shown and described a preferred embodiment of our invention, it will be understood that it is not to be limited to all of the details shown, but is capable of modification and variation within the spirit of the invention and wihin the scope of the appended claims.
This application is a continuation of our application, Serial No. 74,108, filed April 13, 1936.

XCOM: Enemy Within - The Seeker
XCOM: Enemy Within has a new post on the Firaxis developer blog about one of the games enemy's called the Seeker.
One of the things we wanted to do in Enemy Within was to get the player looking over her shoulder more often. We have terror maps that can get out of hand with zombie infestation, but the aliens were missing a subtle assassin, something that can attack suddenly and without warning when the player least expects it. The Seeker was an obvious candidate. It never made it past the early concept stage on Enemy Unknown, when we wanted to emphasize the 1993 XCOM's enemy lineup. And after we saw how players started to play Enemy Unknown after gaining some experience, we knew this kind of threat was called for.
Making the Seeker a flying unit made a ton of sense; an assassin has to have a lot of mobility, especially if we want it to make hit and run attacks with a close-quarters ability. Stealth would also help it approach the player's squad without getting chewed up before it can get to grips. But stealth proved very difficult to get right; in a turn based game, there are defined windows for player action, and we needed to make sure that players didn't spin their wheels hunting the last cloaked enemy on the map. The Seeker's stealth was initially unlimited, but this was quickly changed to a fuel-like system both for multiplayer balance reasons and so that "hunt the Seeker" didn't become a problem during abduction and terror maps once it was clear the player had a strong advantage.
Seekers appear in pairs; this is pretty tightly controlled. Originally, Seekers could appear in moderate numbers, but one too many missions where the entire XCOM squad was simultaneously strangled led us to change that. To compensate for their small numbers, they will often defer combat until XCOM encounters another alien group; this keeps the player suspicious, and offers a choice: try to locate and destroy the Seekers immediately, or move on and hope you can deal with them when they combine with other aliens on the map?

wikiHow to Childproof Your Car's Interior
Two Methods:Child Car Seat SafetyChildproofing the Back SeatCommunity Q&A
Childproofing the interior of your car is just as important for your child's safety as childproofing the inside of your home. Your car's interior can potentially pose many dangers to your child if it is not childproofed effectively. Examples of childproofing your car include ensuring the safety locks are enabled on your car doors, and verifying that your child's car seat is installed correctly to prevent injuries in case of an accident. Continue reading this article to learn more about all the steps you can take to effectively and safely childproof your car's interior.
Child Car Seat Safety
1Place your child's car seat in the back seat of your car. The back seat of your car is the safest location for your child in the event an accident occurs.
2Position your child's car seat in the middle back seat. This can prevent your child from reaching or toying with the car locks and doors.
3Verify that your child is securely fastened in the car seat. The seat belts weaved through the car seat should sit snug, firm, and flat across your child's chest, and should not have the ability to move an inch in any direction.
- Refer to the child car seat user manual to verify the proper seat belt path and to verify that you have properly secured the child car seat to the car itself.
- If you feel that your infant is not completely secure in their car seat, place a rolled up towel or blanket around your child in your car seat for extra padding to ensure a secure fit.
- Attend a local car seat workshop if you are still unsure about the proper car seat placement and seat belt configuration. These types of workshops are normally hosted by your local emergency services or fire department.
Childproofing the Back Seat
1Enable your car's childproof locks, if applicable. With your car's childproof locks enabled, you can prevent your child from opening the car door while in transit. If your car does not have automatic childproof locks, place your child in the middle of the back seat where they cannot reach the door locks.
- Refer to your car's manual to learn of the steps for enabling your car's automatic, childproof locks, or contact your car's manufacturer for more information on having these types of locks installed.
2Remove any loose and potentially dangerous items from the back seat of your car. This will prevent your child from handling or playing with objects that can present a choking or health hazard, and can reduce injuries caused by loose items being thrown around the car's interior during an accident.
- Remove small toys your child can put in their mouth, and poisonous liquids such as car cleaner or windshield wiper fluid from the back seat and from underneath the front seats.
3Bring toys and other items to keep your child distracted during car rides. If your child is occupied with toys, books, or music while you drive, they may not become bored or inspired to play with door locks, and other parts of your car's interior.
- Bring toys that are soft to the touch, such as cloth books, stuffed animals, or dolls. In the event an accident occurs, soft toys are less likely to cause injury upon impact.
4Keep foldable back seats locked into their upright positions. This will prevent your child from crawling into the trunk from the back seat at any time while the car is moving or idle.
5NEVER leave your child alone in the car, not even for a minute. And always keep keys and remote openers out of reach of children.
6Always 'Look Before You Lock' - check the back seat of the vehicle every time you arrive at your destination in order to ensure that all children have exited the vehicle. Keep your hand bag or cell phone in the back to help make it a habit to always check the back seat every time you park!
Community Q&A

text: Morning everyone, finally made the switch from gas to a stick burner. I picked up an Old Country Wrangler Friday night and after seasoning it that night and playing around w/ it Saturday, figuring out it's quirks and controlling temps, I decided today's the day to take it out for a spin and throw 2 racks of BB's on. I figured it would at least be nice to get one smoke in before I head in for knee surgery on the 24th and lose my whole summer. I also changed up my rub a little (turbinado sugar, sea salt, fresh cracked pepper, paprika, granulated garlic, fine onion power- picked up the wrong bottle, cayenne pepper, chile powder, and allspice) and will be using pecan wood instead of apple. I've also never sauced my ribs, but figured why not sauce one rack w/ my drunken bbq sauce. I'm gonna go fire up the pit in about 45 mins, but I'll be back with some updates and QView.

New Metallica album...
Yay or nay?
I think its awesome.
Post your opinion.
Megadeth not so great.
I like the way you've phrased the poll as I think the album has this overproduced, trying too hard to bring back the past but failing feel to it. Its missing the emotion.
I hate Metallica. All there songs sound alike and yea I can keep on going on and on about how much they stink.
megadeth > metallica :p
Arch Enemy's Symphony Of Destruction>Megadeth version
I'll have to download their album from Napster and find out if I...oh, wait. NM.
megadeth gets better each album, while metallica gets more interesting with each album.
It's James Hetfield too busy shutting down bike paths in California to record a new album?
The title sucks too
Last good album was Black.
I bought the album the first day it appeared on the MP3 store I use, 1-2 songs were pretty good. The others sort of faded from recollection.
Old Metallica I listen to, to rock hard.
New Metallica I listen to as an avant garde musical band who is finding new musical ground.
Same band, different mental pathways.
Same band, but the 4 year or so gap between Black and Load pretty much put them in different categories. I personally divide old and new by the hiatus between Black and Load, but others may go by after AJFA, or perhaps even MoP.
As for comparing with Megadeth, its apples and oranges. I like 'em both. Megadeth lyrics (new and old) got me "A"'s in multiple classes when I used their songs as citations for essays.
I'm about halfway through it... like it so far. Missed the last album; heard that was supposed to be pretty bad.
Album of the year for me. Best album from them since AJFA. I listen to both the cd and the GH III versions depending on mood. Lars was one of my biggest influences on the drums as a teenager in the 80's.
I dig early Megadeth. Gar's drumming gave them soul, but at a price. Some redemption with Marty joining and his unique phrasing. Post Risk era I can't get into at all.
Metalcore/Screamo/Posthardcore wins all!
I haven't heard a Metallica album since St Anger. I'll give it a listen, but they really aren't what they used to be.
lyrically they seem kind of...whiny.
not great, nor particularly original, but better than i thought it would be.
I've listened to a few tracks and nothing really grabbed me. I started with metallica in the early 90's, picked up the guitar and played their music almost exclusively. Haven't heard anything here that made me want to play it :( the solos are typical Kirk style. I don't think the phrasing is very good and its more of the "play this lick 4 times, move to the next lick, repeat". They don't seem to flow very well and he just rapes the wah pedal on too many songs.
The mixing seems "off" to me, the guitars need to come out more and back off on the drums (snare) and vocals a touch. At some point in their career Lars switched to that annoying snare drum and I've never really liked it.
I always buy the latest Metallica album, even if its to listen once and no more. Its sort of a tribute thing to something long since passed. However, metal has moved on, and the torch has been passed to bands like Avenged Sevenfold or All That Remains. Metallica is a fundamental part of the metal scene, just like Hellhammer and Deep Purple, but one always has to be able to listen and rock to new stuff.
I like it when they scream it makes my hair stand. :thumb:

Natural News

(NaturalNews) Cancer rates among Hispanics rise following migration to the United States, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Miami.
"This study is [reminiscent] of studies from the late 1960s that looked at immigrants from China and Japan to the United States," said Otis Brawley of the American Cancer Society. "They raise risk of cancer by immigrating and raise rates for second generation Americans even more so."
The researchers used data from the Florida cancer registry, International Agency for Research on Cancer, and 2000 U.S. census to compare the rates of various cancers among Hispanics of different national origins both in the United States and in their home countries, as well as rates among non-Hispanics in the United States, between 1999 and 2001. They found that cancer rates among Hispanics living in the United States are approximately 40 percent higher than rates in Latin America, although the specifics vary by national origin and cancer type. For example, rates of colorectal cancer practically double among Puerto Ricans moving to the mainland, while roughly tripling among Mexican and Cuban migrants.
[efoods]Mexican immigrants had the lowest cancer rates overall, although rates of cancers associated with minorities, such as cervical, stomach and liver cancer, were high. "New Latinos," which includes Hispanics from Central or South America, the Dominican Republic or Spain, also had high rates of "minority" cancers, as well as high rates of thyroid cancer and low rates of lung cancer.
The researchers attributed the rise in cancer rates among immigrants to the adoption of unhealthy lifestyle patterns prevalent in the United States, particularly dietary changes including a higher consumption of red meat. Lower levels of physical activity and higher tobacco and alcohol consumption are also likely culprits.
"For Hispanic populations, there are beneficial lifestyles associated with their origin that probably should be kept," said lead author Paulo Pinheiro. "There are lifestyles that may be more prevalent in the United States that probably should be avoided."

Today's post is another goodie from our friend Laurel Teuscher. Enjoy!
A business knows who their audience is. They've done the researched, had surveys sent out, and can confidently tell anyone about their key demographic. Whether they are the quintessential Wall Street guru, the hippie fruit loving stay-at-home parent, or the hipster—we picture and write to that person, knowing that by writing in their language and addressing their concerns, we can engage them.
But what if our vision of our audience, isn't the right one?
The beauty of social media is that it brings us back into a small-town atmosphere. Everything is by word of mouth. Had a great experience at a restaurant? Hit up Yelp and write a quick review. People will search, find the review, and then head to that restaurant based on your recommendation.
Your business is trying to get people to talk about you. And the beauty of the Internet and social media is that you can see who is talking about your business.
But maybe while you're working so hard to appeal to the 20-something music lover crowd, your actual audience is a 35-44 year old accountant Dad. Without a survey, without field research, your analytics program tells you that. Or maybe you think your business is for 50+ year old professional men, but the people who are talking about you are actually young women in their 20s. You can either disregard these fans and continue to write to the audience you want, or you can alter your plans and write to the audience that you have.
Alter. As in change.
Businesses don't like to hear that because change means that the cost will go up. Budgets and schedules will need to be revised.
It's true that your strategy must adapt to focus on this new audience. But once you start writing to the audience you have, you'll find that you have better advocates. You appeal to the people who are already talking about your business and they are more than willing to start sharing and engaging.
And the more they share, the more reach you have and the better engagement. A business would rather have one customer saying great things about their business to their friends, than 20 people who never interact with them.
Listen to your audience and then start creating content that they will want to engage with and share to their friends.

Nordenham, Germany (SPX) Jan 14, 2008
General Cable reported that its subsidiary, Norddeutsche Seekablewerke GmbH (NSW), has been awarded its first submarine power contract by BARD Engineering GmbH, for more than $30 million related to the construction of BARD Offshore 1. BARD Offshore 1 is a 400 megawatt wind farm consisting of 80 wind turbines that will be located north-west of the Isle of Borkum in the North Sea.
BARD Offshore 1 is the first commercial wind farm to be located in the North Sea and is expected to be completed in 2010. NSW will produce approximately 66 miles of power cable for the infield infrastructure portion of the project which will harness the electricity generated by the turbines for transmission back to shore. The field will be located in water 75 miles offshore with a depth of approximately 130 feet.
"We believe that the North Sea will be an area of high growth for wind power generation due to its ideal conditions of high sustainability of wind and shallow waters, key factors allowing for efficient use of the turbines and for anchoring the windmill towers. With its long history and experience in submarine cabling systems, NSW is ideally positioned to take advantage of this high growth opportunity," said Valentin Jug, Chairman of NSW.
General Cable acquired NSW in April 2007 and began an investment program to expand the capability of the facility to include submarine power cables and repeatered submarine telecommunications cable. NSW is located on a tributary of the North Sea, with its own deep-sea pier. The Company believes that once the expansion of NSW is completed, it will be well positioned to address all aspects of submarine cable needs for the expanding offshore wind farm market.

Firewood price shoots up in Paktia
Firewood price shoots up in Paktia
GARDEZ (PAN): The price of firewood had registered a three-fold increase, compared to last year, in the southeastern province of Paktia, resident complained on Monday.
The price of 560 kilograms of firewood has jumped to 7,000 afghanis ($143.5) from last year's 2,000 afs, causing serious problems for low-income people.
His monthly income was Rs 10,000 and could not afford to buy firewood after he met other family needs, a resident of Gardez, Daulat Khan, told Pajhwok Afghan News.
"I'm undecided whether to buy gas or firewood for heating my home in the winter. One kilo of gas costs 70afs," he added, asking the governor to provide work opportunities for the people.
A vegetable seller, Lal Mohammad, said he could barely buy food for his family, much less purchase firewood. Due to the high price of firewood, he has decided to burn dry twigs during the winter.
The price has shot up due to a shortage of dry wood in Mangal, Zadran and Aryub Zazai forests, where trees are being felled mercilessly. Another reason is that new saplings are no more being planted in the areas, according firewood trader Habibullah.
They would buy firewood in Zadran and Mangal districts, where only fruit trees were left, he said, adding traders transferred the wood to Kabul for earning more money.
Another trader in Samkani district, Shin Gul, said he purchased firewood at a high price and had to ensure a reasonable margin of profit for himself.
If the government did not pay attention to reforestation, all forests in the area would disappear within three years, creating multiple problems for the people, he warned.
Gardez Mayor Agha Mohammad Saeedi said they could not intervene to regulate firewood rates because of the free market economy. "In a free market we can't dictate terms to traders," he concluded.

To celebrate my parents' anniversary, I took the family to see Grease last weekend. As musical theater buffs, I figured that they'd love the seeing the show, especially with my kids who had never seen a Broadway quality production.
Unfortunately, they still haven't. The show stunk. The "actor" who played Danny Zuko couldn't act. And American Idol winner Taylor Hicks was so bad as Teen Angel, it was laughable. It was one of the worst productions I've ever seen – and I should know, as I've been in some pretty awful shows (if you saw Last Exit to Brooklyn in San Francisco in 1995, I apologize).
But the purpose of this column is not a theater review, but rather the first of a two-part discussion of value. The tickets were quite expensive and there are few things more aggravating than not getting value for your money.
This often applies to investing, too. Here are the four overvalued stocks to avoid adding to any portfolio…
Avoid a Portfolio Beating From These Four Overvalued Stocks
When the market reverses, overvalued stocks are often the ones that take the biggest beating. So with many calling for the market to do just that, I screened over 5,000 stocks to come up with a few that are as overvalued as those Grease tickets.
Specifically, I looked for companies that are trading at more than 20 times cash flow, with earnings growth of less than 5% and a declining return on assets. Here's the list…
- Cohen & Steers (NYSE: CNS)
The market already seems to have priced a healthy real estate rebound into CNS shares. But any suggestion of another downturn in real estate and CNS shareholders may feel worse than Danny Zuko after being stranded at the drive-in.
- Harley Davidson (NYSE: HOG)
Harley Davidson's results prove this. Revenue is expected to fall by 22% in 2009 and shrink another 1.3% in 2010, according to estimates. The stock currently trades at 27 times earnings, 20 times forward earnings and 137 times cash flow. The company is also loaded with debt. Right now, its bikes represent better value than its shares.
- Rogers Corp. (NYSE: ROG)
Despite these problems, the stock is still trading at crazy levels – 67 times cash flow and 20 times forward earnings. If those lofty valuations are to hold up, Rogers will not only have to see an increase in business, but get its costs under control, too.
- Travelzoo (Nasdaq: TZOO)
And the struggle is set to continue for Travelzoo. Revenue growth is expected to sink from 17% to 8.6% in 2010. In addition, trading at 11 times its book value, over 50 times next year's earnings, and 99 times its cash flow, TZOO appears priced for perfection. Any disappointing results will likely result in a crash landing for the stock.
Not only that, it's operating in a fiercely competitive industry, with other online travel sites such as Expedia (Nasdaq: EXPE), Priceline (Nasdaq: PCLN) and privately owned Travelocity all battling for a piece of the pie.
If any of these overvalued stocks are in your portfolio, or on your watchlist, you may want to think twice about being "hopelessly devoted" to them. When it comes to investing, there are worse things you can do than let a winner become a loser… but not many. So be sure to employ a tight trailing stop on these stocks if you happen to own them – and be very careful about buying them if you don't.
Next week, I'll give you several names that still remain good values, despite the market's recent run.
Hoping your longs go up and your shorts go down,
Marc Lichtenfeld

NE Oklahoma Under Winter Storm Warning
A winter storm warning continues for nearly the entire state as another winter storm prepares to impact northeastern Oklahoma by tonight.The winter storm warning runs from 6 p.m. Tuesday evening through 9 p.m. Wednesday night. Some parts of the state already hit hard by last week's monster snowfall will get more -- up to 10 inches depending on where you live.Right now, it appears the hardest hit areas will be in central Oklahoma, however the Tulsa metro area should expect up to eight inches of snow. Lighter amounts will be expected north and east of Tulsa.This all depends on the track of the storm, which is still hard to nail down, so all areas should expect up to 10 inches.The snowfall is expected to taper off during the day Wednesday and, as with last week's storm, bitterly cold temperatures will follow, dropping readings into the teens for highs on Wednesday and to near zero or below on Thursday morning.There is light at the end of the tunnel however. By Friday, temperatures will be back above freezing, signaling a warm-up that will see readings in the 50s for the weekend and to near 60 by the middle of next week.Stay with NewsChannel 8 for the latest on this winter storm.

Tucked away in the east of Puxi are the remnants of Shanghai's Old City. Once encircled by a thick wall, a fragment of which still remains, the Old City has a sense of history among its fast disappearing old shikumen (stone gatehouses), temples, and markets; it wasn't until 1854 that Chinese were allowed to move out of the so-called "Chinese City" and into the foreign concessions. Delve into narrow alleyways where residents still hang their washing out on bamboo poles and chamber pots remain in use. Burn incense with the locals in small temples, sip tea in a teahouse, or get a taste of Chinese snacks and street food. This is the place to get a feeling for Shanghai's past, but you'd better get there soon, as the wrecker's ball knows no mercy.
When there was every reason in the world to stay away and see the ruins, one woman traveled to Greece to get to work.More

The letter is typed with the greeting and ending handwritten in black pen. It appears on Buckingham Palace stationery marked "From: Lady-in-Waiting to H.R.H. the Princess of Wales."
The letter reads: "Dear Mrs. Senior, The Princess of Wales has asked me to thank you for your letter together with the pictures. Her Royal Highness was most touched by your kind thought in writing and was most grateful to you for sending the pictures. The Princess has asked me to send you her sincere thanks and best wishes. Yours sincerely, Hazel West [Mrs. George West]."
The original envelope is also included, addressed to Mrs. M Willey Senior in Loma Linda, California. It has been postmarked "London 10 MCH1986, 5-15 PM."
I am including the book "The Country Life Book of Diana Princess of Wales," which has a specific reference to Hazel West, who was apparently one of the original Ladies-in-Waiting appointed for Princess Diana in late September following her marriage to Prince Charles on 29 July 1981. "Mrs. West, the wife of Lieutenant-Colonel George West, Comptroller at the Lord Chamberlain's Office, w the... read more

This season's 'Catfish: The TV Show,' which premiered Tuesday, June 25 at 10 p.m. on MTV features so many OMG moments that it is best to analyze each episode with equally expressive reactions. And not just text-based or still image reactions — GIF reactions.
The episode begins, as usual, with Nevax in a nondescript hotel room. They play footsie, or Max steps on Nev's new shoes as he shows them off. One or both of those things happened.
Anthony the Army vet was wounded in battle and received a Purple Heart. Upon returning home on a medical discharge, he met Marq online. Attracted to his pictures, they connected on a more personal level. They speak on the phone everyday, and Anthony says, despite his suspicions, he loves Marq.
(How can I not use this gif every week?)
But, Anthony isn't the typical blindly naive Catfishee. After being stood up when he went to Mississippi from Texas to meet Marq and spend Thanksgiving with him, Anthony called shenanigans Marq's lame excuses. Marq claims to have been the victim of a carjacking and was subsequently run over and injured, thus precluding him from reaching Anthony on Thanksgiving.
Side note: Catfishee refers to the person who reaches out to Nevax for help. Catfisher refers the person whose identity is in question and may possibly be catfishing someone, or see: Catfishee.
The obligatory lame joke during travel montage award this week goes to Max. "Everything's bigger in Texas."
I like how Nev asks if they could come into Anthony's house when Anthony is already mic'ed up.
Despite knowing Marq isn't exactly who he says he is, Anthony affirms he is 100% in love with him and he doesn't want to be with anybody else. This is even after the Thanksgiving debacle. He even used Google Image Search (Before Nevax even got there!) to discover that Marq's photos were the same as a friend of a friend, Joshua's online pictures. Smart and genuine but holding onto the fringes of hope, Anthony is a guy anyone can root for.
Nevax returns soon after leaving Anthony's house to find him breaking down his barriers. He cries, frustrated that someone he cares about so much has lied to him in such a profound way. I think I can see his true fear — that this person he's been talking to doesn't actually care about him. That it's a situation like Catfish season one, episode four with Jasmine and Mhissy, who pretended to be Mike in a malicious attempt to get back at Jasmine. I really want to give Anthony a hug.
"The Catfishin' Hole" is a place I never, ever want to go. And yet it kind of looks like Carrie and Brody's secret love cabin from Homeland. Coincidence?
They first contact Joshua, who is really the guy in Marq's photos. Strike one.
Are you serious, Nev? Why are you acting like you've never done a reverse phone number search before? C'mon, that's what every middle schooler uses when she wanted to find where her crush lives without actually talking to him or his friends. Anyway, the search results state that the number belongs to a Framel from Jackson, MS. Definitely not Marq. Strike two.
Nevax searches for more information on the attached username framel_200 through a MyLife page. (Who uses MyLife? Perhaps it's this season's Image Search?) They find pictures and a video of the real Framel. It's a husky young guy with a tooth missing and a fly fade, not an athletic guy with all his teeth and a fitted cap surgically attached to his skull. Strike three, Marq is out!
With their results in tow, they pick Anthony up, but they don't do the cutesy friend time. They keep everything straight to the point. Anthony silently cries as he watches Josh's video. Stepping outside for fresh air on Nev's suggestion, Anthony is visibly and understandably upset. It's making me upset, too.
Hold on, tissue break.
He is adamant to talk to Framel face to face, and Nev sets up a meeting with him. Tough with the slippery Framel, Nev gets the job done. Like I said before, the whole "investigation" portion of the show is just that — for show. The true heart is Nev and Max's advocacy for the Catfishee and their mediation between the Catfishee and the Catfisher. Well, Max is more there to say snarky comments at awkward times, hold a digital camera, and look pretty, but Nev and him make a good team.
Now in Mississippi, after a more emo-than-usual travel montage, Nevax and Anthony approach Framel's house in the pouring rain. For some reason Max insists on sticking his obnoxious little camera in Anthony's face when there's a camera already in the front of the car.
They meet Framel. He admits to have been the person Anthony was in contact with the entire time. He says he loves and is in love with Anthony. Anthony can't even look at him.
Oh my God. He was in the restaurant at Thanksgiving.
It's only after Anthony storms off back into the car too angry to talk to Framel for any longer that Framel's facade cracks a bit. Up until then he has skirted around any concrete details about who he really is or why he deceived Anthony in that way and for so long. Framel truly does care about Anthony in whatever weird, duplicitous way that he does/did.
The fun clip in between commercial breaks is cute but not what I was expecting. Nevax Western style doesn't come out the way I would have hoped, but at least there's cowboy hats and bandanas involved.
The next day, Anthony and Nevax return to Framel's house. He is now armed with his best friends. Before any real answers could be revealed, Framel and Anthony engage in a heated argument, really about nothing. Framel should not mess with Anthony; he's a decorated Army veteran. The bizarro shouting match, and Anthony storms out "forgiving" him. Really, Framel? You're going to jump all over Anthony's "threat" to hit you rather than owning up to what you did? Who is Framel? We still don't know!
After cooling off, Anthony apologizes to Framel and agrees to hear him out for what he has to say. Anthony is such a class act. I can't even handle how sincere he is.
Nev asks Framel the question we all want to know the answer to—"Who are you?"
At the age of 12, Framel got into an accident that was followed by a series of debilitating surgeries. Overweight and with a low self esteem, his sense of self grew worse as he became confused over his attraction to men. For his family, being gay was equated to something that was wrong. Depressed, he reached out to Anthony. It seemed like it wasn't until he "met" Anthony that Framel gained self-acceptance and a true sense of self-worth. The first time we see Framel's face streaming with tears is when he begs Anthony to forgive him, which he receives.
Anthony seems hurt but cleansed. He deserves to be free from deception and anger. I wouldn't be surprised if the guys aren't circling the corner for him. (Can you tell that I think he's the coolest?) Framel is apparently seeing someone, which I hope is true because he also deserves to truly love and be loved in return. Oh my, this was an emotionally draining episode.

What an entertaining guy: self-deprecating humor, talent, and wonderful spirit. I understand he's got some dancing background from his days in NSYNC, and I'm willing to overlook that.

UPDATE: Credit Suisse Upgrades AvalonBay Communities to Outperform
Credit Suisse raises its rating on AvalonBay Communities (NYSE: AVB) to Outperform (previously Underperform) and raises its price target to $145 from $89 as the company should see excellent growth despite legitimate headwinds on its apartment markets.
Credit Suisse says, "AVB apartment markets have legitimate headwinds, including (1) rising supply, lower employment growth than the U.S, and a recent loss in employment leadership in young adults, a cohort that tends to rent. ...But AVB 2013 FFO growth should be excellent even with slowing rent growth. Higher rents from new development stabilizations and refinance savings should position AVB for a third year of mid-teens FFO growth in 2013. Our 2013 FFO estimate implies 16% growth and is 5% above consensus."
AVB closed at $129.87 a share on Thursday.

Depressed family refuses help, accuses neighbours of conspiracy
After being rescued and hospitalised by the police and an NGO on Wednesday night, the four depressed members of a family had to be released as they refused any medical assistance. It had taken the police nearly three hours and immense patience to extract the family out of their house in Phase 3-B1 here.chandigarh Updated: Feb 15, 2013 23:13 IST
After being rescued and hospitalised by the police and an NGO on Wednesday night, the four depressed members of a family had to be released as they refused any medical assistance.
On Wednesday night, Dildar Singh and his family, including wife Bhupinder Kaur -- a retired teacher; daughter Harpreet Kaur; and son Manmeet Singh Raja -- a law graduate, had been rescued after having been confined to their house for nearly 18 months and had been admitted to the civil hospital.
It had taken the police nearly three hours and immense patience to extract the family out of their house in Phase 3-B1 here.
"We do not want any medical treatment; what is wrong with us? We are absolutely fine; it is a conspiracy of the neighbours," said Raja, one of the rescued members.
Doctors at the civil hospital said there were visible indications that the family was suffering from severe depression.
"Once they refused to accept medical assistance, we were forced to release them. There is no provision under which they could be detained at the hospital. There was no family member or relative so we were helpless and could not have forcibly kept them. They were released last night after completing the formalities," said a doctor.
Daughter seems critical
Doctors were of the view that Dildar's daughter appeared critical and is apparently suffering from some physical ailment too, though they were not allowed to examine her; her mother was reticent over not allowing anyone near her.
"The daughter did not speak at all. Her hair was open and her cries were accompanied by deep moans. She is an adult, but severely under weight. She needs immediate medical attention," added the hospital staff.
'Neighours conspiring against us'
"The neighbours are just trying to malign us. My son is studying; he is a law graduate and preparing for judicial services examination. My daughter was not well; she was sleeping, when the police barged in and forcibly brought us here," said Bhupinder Kaur, who too was admitted to hospital last night.
Not had bath for about six months
"I have not bathed for the last six months, I feel cold," said Dildar told the doctors. A retired government servant, he has been sleeping on the roads for over 18 months and has been eating at langars.
Neighbours live in fear
It has been over 18 months since the neighbours last saw Harpreet Kaur come out. The neighbours claim that Bhupinder Kaur also hardly stepped out; no one was allowed inside their compound. They got their food delivered from a neighorhood market. The door of the house hardly opened and the daughter remained confined to her room. The neighbours also claim to have heard loud cries from the house. The compound of the house is full of wild growth.
NGO approaches senior police officer and district administration
"The family needs help, especially the daughter, who is in a very bad shape; she was locked in a room. After they were released from the hospital, we wrote to senior police officials and the district administration to provide medical assistance to the family," said HS Walia, president of non-governmental organisation, 'Anti-corruption and Human Rights', that has taken the initiative to help the family.
"The NGO has approached me. We are coordinating with the deputy commissioner (DC) and the sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) to do the needful," said Gurpreet Singh Bhullar, senior superintendent of police, SAS Nagar.
"I will ask the SDM to ensure that the family gets all the necessary help," said SAS Nagar DC Varun Roojam.
He further added, "On Thursday evening a team was sent, but in the absence of a magistrate nothing could be done. Therefore, the station house officer (SHO) would produce the family before a magistrate on Friday morning and procure reception orders. After that the family can be admitted in the hospital for treatment."

ATLANTA – There is contradiction on Atlanta's roadways as travelers get mixed messages about the price of littering.
Drive along the I-85 access road between Clairmont and Shallowford Road, and you'll see the signs warning of the fine for tossing your trash out of your car window.
On the east side of I-85, heading north, the signs tell you the maximum fine is $1,200.
On the other side of the interstate, traveling south, the signs indicate the top fine is $1,000.
A $200 savings?
The state DOT says years ago, the legislature lowered the maximum fine for littering on the highway, from $1,200, down to $1,000.
The signs along Georgia roadways were altered to reflect the change.
Well, most of them were.
When Commuter Dude called to ask the DOT about the conflicting signs, the agency acknowledged that someone missed the remaining $1,200 signs, and that they would be replaced.
Of course, the easiest way to avoid confusion is simply not to litter.

Wall Street Journal editor: Don't hike minimum wage because workers 'learn' from poverty
Wall Street Journal Editor Paul Gigot argued on Sunday that the minimum wage should be kept low because it would teach workers that they did not want to work low-wage jobs.
During a panel discussion on ABC's This Week, Gigot predicted that a decision in Seattle to hike the minimum wage to $15 an hour would eventually backfire.
"I think what [Mayor Ed Murray] is going to find out is he's pricing a bunch of people out of the labor market," Gigot opined. "Particularly the young, the least skilled, teenagers, people who want to go in and gen in on that basic, bottom rung of the economic latter and move up."
"Look, I worked for the minimum wage," he explained. "Two bucks an hour back in the 1970s. I had jobs that — what did I learn? I learned to show up on time, I learned certain skills, and I learned I didn't want to make the rest of my life so I better get an education."
The Nation's Katrina Vanden Heuvel pointed out that only one out of 10 minimum wage workers were teenagers in today's economy.
"Morally, what does it say about America if you're an American, and you work full time, and you live in poverty, it's a broken economic system," she insisted.
"If productivity gain — enormous productivity gains — of the last four decades were factored in, the minimum wage today would be $22."
According to the Dept. of Labor and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 1974 minimum wage of $2 an hour would be worth $9.62 in 2014 when adjusted for inflation.
The minimum wage level has not been high enough to life full-time workers above the poverty level since 1968.

This campus has it all: valuable mentors, access to top technical talent, and a tight knit community to support your success.
Galvanize is a dynamic learning community, fostering discussion of trends in business and technology–we host over 200 events each month across all campuses. From business pitch workshops, to technology meet-ups and everything in between, the events listed within our calendar are open to the public unless otherwise noted. Contact us for private space rental inquiries or to reserve private space for your next meeting or happy hour.
Our campus serves as a home base to start-ups and established companies building tech-enabled innovations and has all of the amenities of a co-working space, plus learning opportunities, resources, and access to the network a growing startup needs. One person joins to comfortably establish a company, planting the seeds for growth. Two and three person teams collaborate and execute, quickly gaining momentum. As startups grow, so can their membership - accommodate new team members, have consistent meeting space and scale without worrying about the costs of overhead.
