Insurance firm set to expand after rival deal
Northern Ireland's insurance market has seen the second big deal of the year so far as brokers Abbey snapped up another homegrown firm.
Abbey Insurance Brokers, which is based in Newtownabbey, has paid a multi-million pound sum for Open + Direct, a firm founded in the province that became part of English firm Swinton Group.
The combined entity will employ 420 people and have 200,000 policyholders on its books.
It comes two weeks after Ryan Direct Group (RDG) in Chicago bought Midas Underwriting in Newtownards.
Dawn McKnight, partner at law firm Carson McDowell, which advised Abbey, said: "We anticipate that more deals of this nature will be completed in the coming months."
Open + Direct was taken over by Swinton in 2009 as part of a £50m deal to buy Equity Insurance. Equity Insurance had bought Open + Direct in 2007.
January also brought a third deal in financial services here, with a six-figure shareholder buy-out at Keys Commercial Finance.

A one-car accident in Livingston County has claimed the life of a SUNY Geneseo student.
The school identified the victim as Mary Kavanaugh of Sandborn, a communications major at Geneseo.
Kavanaugh was killed early yesterday morning when her car apparently ran off of the Calendonia Road in the Town of Leicester and rolled over.
A passerby discovered the wreck. Mary was dead at the scene.
Batavia native Terry Anderson, the former news correspondent who was held for six years by middle east terrorists, will return to Batavia this fall to help inaugurate the International Peace Garden.
Anderson's visit has been scheduled for September 9th. He has agreed to speak at the inaugural dinner for the Peace Garden.
Anderson now lives in Kentucky. He has not been back to Batavia for several years. Anderson worked for the Associated Press at the time he was abducted by Shi'te Muslims back in 1985.
The International Peace Garden has been proposed to be built on a lot adjacent to the Holland Land Office Museum.
Genesee County has received a fat grant from New York State.
The county has been awarded a half-million dollar grant to do an energy efficiency study of all 14 county operated buildings.
Assistant County Manager Frank Ciaccia says the county's annual energy bill is over a million dollars a year.
The study is designed to find ways to lower that figure.
State Assembly and Senate leaders return to Albany today to resume talks on the late state budget following the Easter and Passover holidays.
State lawmakers are working to close a nine-billion-dollar budget gap.
But state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli warns Governor Paterson and Legislative leaders not to use accounting tricks to cover the gap.
He says some expected sources of revenue have not materialized.
DiNapoli said the general fund provides a distorted view of the state's financial health because money is routinely shifted in and out of the account. The state budget is seven-days late.
Buffalo Sabres fans can still get playoff tickets. The team says the first round playoff games still have some availability. The first two games have only single seats available. The team expects the rest of the tickets to sell out once the dates and opponents are finalized this weekend. The Sabres finished up their regular season at home last night against the Rangers. Jerry will have details in sports, coming up.

"A challenging and profitable read." The Expository Times
"This book is concerned to stress the reciprocity and mutual trust that subsist between the divine and the human. Creation was not so much an act of power as a gift or delegation of God's own creativity… the act of creation was a risk in which God entrusted himself to human beings, who have the possibility of becoming co-workers, but are not forced to be such. This general thesis is then illustrated and confirmed in an examination in some of the major areas of human endeavour. The argument is enlivened throughout by a wealth of illustration from literature." John MacQuarrie, DD, formerly Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity, Oxford

wikiHow to Lower Electric Bills With a Whole House Meter
As gas prices rise, consumers are looking to cut their energy usage. You can do this at home by investing in a whole house meter. The meter plugs into your home's electrical circuits to monitor how many watts you are using from day to day, and how much it will cost you at the end of the month, so there aren't any surprises on your electric bill. The meter allows you to analyze usage and change your behavior, eliminating electricity overuse and overcharging. This article will tell you how to lower electric bills with a whole house meter.
1Read reviews on whole house meters. There are a number of models available with different features. Check how easy the display is to read and choose one that adds up your electricity bill.
- While some models are installed and located outside, you can now find wireless whole house meters. They use a sensor that is plugged into your electrical system, near the current power company meter. It communicates with a display inside your house and it can also upload your information to the Internet so that you may analyze it.
2Call an electrician to install your whole house meter. It is a dangerous job because the meter has to be hooked up to active electric circuits. The electrician can do this without asking the power company for a disruption in service. However, it should be a fast job for the electrician.
3Pay attention to your display. Does the watt usage jump at a certain time of the day? If so, you can analyze the major contributors to your electricity usage and power bill, and minimize or possibly eliminate them.
4Experiment with your major appliances by noting how much energy they use when other electric variables, like lights, television or heat remain constant. Also, experiment with turning lights off or covering windows to see how your power usage changes.
5Change your behavior according to the readings. The major advantage of the whole house meter is that it helps to change your behavior with your appliances and electricity. These positive changes reduce electricity usage, which lowers electric bills.
- A Canadian whole house meter company monitored 30,000 people who used their device over an 18 month period. They reported that electric bills were reduced by 6.5 percent on average. This would recoup the price of the whole house meter.
7Reset your whole house meter every month after you receive your electric bill and have analyzed the charges.
8Clean your meter regularly, especially the sensor. Weather and dirt can affect the readings, but most can be cleaned with a dry rag or a can of compressed air.

text: Brewed this up in the Timolino at the boy's house, and was quite pleased with it! A nice creamy rooibos with a hint of lemon. I seem to recall wishing for more lemon, but all the teas I drank in the last 24 hours are kind of blending together, so I'll have to verify this later. It's certainly not cleaner-like lemon though, which is always good!

In my case

Response to
My husband didn't really force me to. When asked he simply said he thought it was sexy. If had clung to my bras, I'm certain he'd still have been the same Jon. With us, it was a preference not a demand or order. Just as I prefer certain perfumes, he prefers me (and other women for that matter) bra for aesthetic reasons.
But, I will say that my willingness to please is a part of why we got married because of the situation surrounding his military service and my desire to live in the country and stay at home. I think that going braless was a part (small or otherwise) of the big picture. He did not previously want to be married until much later in life. He felt (feels, actually) that he should be able to home and provide and be a part of our day to day lives. And because of the global mess, he is rarely home for long but when he is It's great for all of us. We often dream of the day when he rotates off this assignment and maybe gets a PCS to admin, instruction, or someother nondeloyable duty. Until that day, going braless has kinda became a support thing :<) (Unintended, I promise)
I have been around, and Jon has served with for that matter, those kinds of "abusive" husbands. But, at least in a few cases, he has been able to help them to learn better ways to lead a family. So, I guess I'd agree with him, many times it is more an issue of teaching the guy(s) to deal differently with things.

Kobe in Hornets hat? It did happen
Ah, the summer of 1996 seems so long ago.
At this point it's a footnote to a Hall of Fame career, but remember that Kobe Bryant was once (very briefly) property of the Charlotte Hornets.
The story goes that the Lakers and Hornets worked out a trade the day before the 1996 NBA Draft, and that Los Angeles told Charlotte to select Bryant with their first-round pick at the very last minute. To get him, LA gave up starting center Vlade Divac. In LA, he joined new free-agent addition Shaquille O'Neal.
So, despite the fact that he never played a game for the franchise, and was never realistically a part of the team, Bryant does have that memory of being drafted by the Hornets. Bryant also apparently has a photo from draft day still lying around, as he tweeted out an image of himself wearing a Charlotte Hornets cap through Instagram in honor of the Bobcats' impending name change.

Kenyan homeschoolers are concerned that the proposed education law moving through their parliament will prevent them from exercising their right to homeschool their children.
Homeschool leaders in the African country have been told that members of parliament have raised concerns that homeschooling would be used by negligent and abusive parents to hide from authorities. Lawmakers have also said that they do not wish to spend time on an issue they consider insignificant given the small number of Kenyan homeschooling families.
Leaders of the East Africa Community of Homeschoolers (EACH), one of the few organized homeschool groups on the continent, have asked Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) in the USA for help.
The Association for Homeschooling has also assisted the Kenyan homeschoolers and sent a letter to Kenya High Commission to urge the Kenya parliament to adapt the bill so that the fundamental rights of parents are not affected, and that Kenyan parents will enjoy the same rights as parents in South Africa.
It is important that homeschooling parents in South Africa support this, not only to help parents and children in Kenya, but also because the recognition of homeschooling in Africa will also safeguard homeschooling in South Africa. We also know from experience that letter writing campaigns do make a difference. Read on the website of the Homeschooling Legal Defence Association, how a letter writing campaign by homeschoolers in the USA has contributed towards the recognition of homeschooling in South Africa. Now that homeschooling is recognised here, South African parents should do the same for homeschoolers in other countries.

Thanks for thy present! None sweeter or better.
A poem for Thanksgiving Day
John Greenleaf Whittier 9 p.m., Nov. 22
this story has ended. I got a job.
The gang won't make it to Mary and her gang in time to catch Bigfoot and get the secret serum, which was song lyrics.
The band won't play the first last song of the world, a song lasting forever, taking over a small venue near San Onofre where there's free power.
The world won't converge on california, everyone with an instrument, as we play our way out of suffering, a transcendence.
Nope. I've landed a job at a nursery here in town, not the Green Thumb, more like some major full-time scale thing, the work is brutal.
Bye folks.

Clothing is usually not an XLent gift.
Danny promised Amy that she would be queen for the day today, and that he would be nice to her all day, but he failed at that while the alarm clock was still going off. Somehow this relates to coffee, Carly Simon, Pigpen, Paris, "Twilight," Wichita, and Dumpsters. Somehow.
The show digresses when Danny mentions that his body hair glows fluorescent red, particularly on his butt, leading Sarah to presume that he sat in Cheetos, and Mike Jones mentions that the term for the dust left by Cheetos is Cheetle. This exchange especially amuses Will, who is 12 years old. Sarah notes that Will and Danny have become bathroom buddies, the rare pair of men who make a habit of visiting the restroom together, leading to stories of awkward bathroom experiences.
Danny Bonaduce, Life Coach, advises a man who believes he has a legal right to claim his daughter as a dependent on his taxes, but now his ex has claimed her too and the IRS is coming after him.
Danny believes clothing is a no-win gift for husbands, because you're bound to pick the wrong size, or even a size that offends because it's so wrong. Sarah recalls an ex who bought her wildly inappropriate underwear as a gift. Ever get in trouble over a well-intended by just wrong gift of clothing for your spouse?
All this, and Danny performs an elaborate but inaccurate dance to "Gangnam Style," on today's Danny Bonaduce Show.

" Brand: Cowshed / Texture: Cream / Type: Hand Cream / Suitable for: Hand / Contents: 300ml / Skin type: for dry skin / What it does: Restores, Soothes, Nourishes / Parabene free: yes / For Vegetarians: yes "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Being a bit of a beauty product addict, I always like to try out new things and vary the brands that I use. One of my most exciting discoveries has been finding online companies that provide beauty boxes. The idea is that you will be sent a box every month, which will contain a selection of various make-up, skin care, fragrance products etc for you to try out, and I have been trying a few from different suppliers. I received Cow Slip Soothing Hand Cream by Cowshed in a previous delivery from Amarya. You can find further information at www.amarya.co.uk and www.cowshed online.com. The full size pump bottle version contains 300ml and costs RRP £16.00, and I received the travel size version which contains 50ml and costs RRP £8.00.
Product description: "This softening hand cream restores suppleness and moisture to your hands. Sweet orange oil cleanses whilst peppermint relieves and refreshes skin."
The hand cream comes in a black tube with a simple floral sketch design in white, which looks quite cute and fits in with the country Cowshed theme. Of course the downside of this is that it is impossible to see through the packaging to figure out how much of the cream is left inside, and I do tend to prefer packaging that is clear for this reason. The tube has a flip-top lid at the bottom which is handy as the cream then pools at the bottom of the tube making it easier to dispense.
Recommended directions for use: Massage into hands and cuticles throughout the day to keep skin and nails moisturised and soft.
This hand cream has a thin runny consistency and is pure white in colour. Only a small amount is required as the light texture helps it to spread over my skin easily and also means that it is absorbed quickly. There is no greasy residue left behind afterwards, and my hands feel instantly smoother and soothed. Afterwards the surface texture of my skin feels much improved and is softer to the touch. The 50ml size tube is convenient for keeping on my desk at work, and I will apply it during the day as required. The liquid soap provided in our washroom can be drying if I need to wash my hands frequently, and the effect of air conditioning can be an additional factor for causing dryness, so I end up using this hand cream most days, and sometimes repeatedly throughout the course of a day. By applying this hand cream after washing I am able to restore the condition of my skin and keep my hands feeling smooth, which makes it much more comfortable in an office environment where I am constantly using my hands for typing.
From time to time I have noticed that immediately after I have applied this hand cream I experience a slight tingly sensation which makes my hands feel itchy. I am unsure as to why, and suspect that it could possibly be the inclusion of peppermint oil, as I know from use in other products that it sometimes does give a tingly effect when applied to the body. Luckily this does not happen every time, and goes away again quickly, but it is worth noting that this could potentially irritate sensitive skin.
The scent of this hand cream is really unusual, and although it is strong it is not too much to be overpowering. To begin with I was unsure about it, but as I used it more often I really appreciated the uniqueness of the fragrance. The hints of orange and peppermint give off a rich bitter scent, which is refreshing and invigorating. Despite being able to smell the orange notes quite clearly, it does not come across as being overly sweet like I would usually expect from a fruity scented beauty product, and has a real natural quality to it thanks to the use of pure essential oils. Breathing in the scent as I rub the cream into my hands helps to perk me up somewhat, and is a nice little treat that I enjoy as I use the product.
Overall, I would recommend this Cow Slip Soothing Hand Cream by Cowshed. It is absorbed easily, keeping my hands feeling soft and smooth. The unusual fragrance might not be to everyone's tastes, but it certainly grew on me and now I really enjoy it. I do have a slight niggle about the occasional itchiness, but this seems to be infrequent and has not been too much of a problem.
I'm currently using Cowshed Cow Slip Soothing Hand Cream, and within just a few days of using the hand cream it earned the status of my favourite hand cream ever.
I initially bought the large 300ml size, which comes in a tall bottle with a pump dispenser on the top, this was £16. However once I discovered how much I love this hand cream I also went and bought the small 50ml size travel tube as well, which was the extortionate price of £8. I say extortionate because I got 6 times as much in the tall bottle, for just double the price.
However I do have a cunning plan now that I have the travel size tube, each time it's empty I'm then going to refill it from the larger bottle, thereby saving myself a fortune as I do always have a small tube of hand cream in my handbag. This will be easy enough to do, as the travel size tube has a lid that either flips up to expose a small hole to squeeze a small amount of hand cream out of to use on a day to day basis, or the whole of the lid screws off completely to expose a much larger hole that I can easily use to fill up the tube with hand cream from the larger bottle.
My only gripe with the full size pump dispenser is that it does dispense too much of the hand cream with one full depress of the pump, I would find myself rubbing the excess into my arms as there was just way too much to rub into my hands alone. Once I'd figured this out though, and then played around with the pump dispenser to get the correct amount out of the dispenser in one go (which is to depress the pump half way which will dispense the perfect amount to adequately rub into both of my hands) then I've had no further problems with the pump dispenser.
Cow Slip is the newest hand cream by Cowshed, they also do Cow Pat hand cream, which I've also tried and which I also really like. Cow Slip hand cream won the Elle Beauty Award for Best Hand Cream last year.
Cowshed say that ''This soothing and luxurious hand cream uses spearmint oil for its healing and antibacterial properties as well as petitgrain, peppermint and sweet orange to maintain moisture and restore supple skin for younger looking hands''.
This hand cream definitely keeps my hands soft, smooth and moisturised, with no greasy after feel at all. It is quickly and easily absorbed into my hands and nails. It actually feels quite cooling, soothing and calming on my hands as I rub this in. A little bit of this hand cream goes a long way, I don't need much of it at all, so it lasts for absolutely ages.
The fragrance of this hand cream is absolutely divine. It's a gorgeous smelling fragrance, and it lasts for absolutely ages on my hands, I can still smell it hours later. I would describe the fragrance as being predominantly the mint in this hand cream - the spearmint oil and the peppermint, but I can also smell the sweet orange too. I could literally just sniff my hands all day I love the fragrance so much!
I'd definitely recommend this hand cream, and I'm definitely going to continue to buy it.

Prescription medicines to lower the pressure inside the eye (intraocular pressure, or IOP) are used to treat all types of glaucoma. They work either by reducing the amount of fluid (aqueous humor) that is produced by the eye or by increasing the amount of fluid that drains out of the eye. These medicines may be given as eyedrops, as pills, in liquid form by mouth, or through a vein (in emergency situations). In most cases, eyedrops are used first.
In congenital glaucoma, medicines may be used to decrease the pressure in the eyes and reduce the cloudiness of the clear front surface (cornea) of the child's eye. Medicines are usually only used until surgery can be done.
When glaucoma has already caused vision loss, further vision loss may occur even after the pressure in the eye is lowered to the normal range with medicine. Talk to your doctor about the goals of treatment, how long the medicine will be tried, and the possible side effects. Eye medicines can cause symptoms throughout the body.
You will need follow-up visits with your doctor to find out whether your medicine is working as well as it should. You can also discuss any side effects or medicine schedule problems.
In most cases, medicines used to treat glaucoma must be continued daily for the rest of your life.
Medicine choices
Medicines that decrease the amount of fluid produced by the eye include:
- Beta-blockers (such as Betagan, Betimol, Ocupress, and Timoptic).
- Adrenergic agonists (such as Alphagan and Propine).
- Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors (such as Azopt, Diamox, and Trusopt).
- Hyperosmotics (such as Osmitrol).
Medicines that increase the amount of fluid that drains out of the eye include:
- Cholinergics (such as Isopto Carpine, Phospholine, and Pilopine).
- Adrenergic agonists (such as Alphagan and Propine).
- Prostaglandin analogs (such as Lumigan, Travatan, and Xalatan).
Some medicines have two different medicines mixed into one bottle.
About your medicines
- Use your glaucoma medicines as prescribed by your doctor. If you need reminders for using your medicines, use alarm clocks or watches, notes on mirrors or tables, and other cues.
- Learn how to use eyedrops. This can help reduce side effects. If you notice side effects from your glaucoma medicine, tell your doctor. Your medicine may need to be changed.
- If you have closed-angle glaucoma or you are at risk for it, check with a doctor before taking any over-the-counter medicines. You'll need to avoid medicines that widen (dilate) the pupil, such as antihistamines and motion sickness medicines.
- Make sure all your doctors know that you have glaucoma. Tell your eye specialist what other prescription medicines you are taking.
- Learn cost-saving tips for glaucoma . For example, use a measured-dose dispenser.
- Carry a wallet card or other identification that states that you have glaucoma. The card needs to list all medicines you are taking, including glaucoma medicines.

I have a DVD movie on my hard drive and I would like to know a simple way to delay or advance the sound by (for example) 500ms. I know that VirtualDubMod can easily be used to delay/advance sound in an avi video file, but it can't be used to delay the sound in a DVD. Any ideas on this topic would be appreciated.

Your question is unclear: did you want to advance/delay for playback on your PC? or did you want to re-encode your DVD files to burn on a DVD later?
For playback on a PC, yes you can easily. The specific steps depends on which software DVD player you are using (e.g. media player classic, VLC...)
I am sorry that I didn't make my question clear. I want to take a DVD movie that is on my hard drive and (using a simple method) delay/advance the sound/audio by, for example, 500 ms, and then have a new DVD movie created where the sound will now be delayed/advanced. I prefer not to re-code ( a 6 hour ordeal on my computer) but if re-coding is the only way, then (still) let me know the simplest way to do this job. Ultimately, I want to burn the DVD to a disk.
The reason I want to do this is I have a DVD player that always plays the audio on reburnable disks about 800ms late. It is the fault of the DVD player. (Non reburnable disks are played just fine.) Also, I think it is useful to know how to do this job (delay/advance audio directly in DVD).
I am trying to get a clear way to do this. You said:
You demux the assets, correct the delay either in the authoring program or using DelayCut, and you remux. It's simple in principle but just takes some time to accomplish.
So can I use PgcDemux and then separate out the video, sound and subtitles?
After I have the video, sound and subtitles, how do I delay/advance the sound?
Then can I use Muxman and input the video, sound and subtitles to make the DVD?
Or, you said "delay... in the authoring program". What authoring program allows me to delay/advance the sound by up to 1000ms?
If I want to use DelayCut to delay the audio by, for example 800ms, do I type in 800ms in the "start" box or "end" box or both boxes? (See screen shot.) And should I tick or untick the "original length box? Also, in the "input file" box, can I insert the audio file that PgcDemux generates, or does the audio first have to be converted to another format? Also, what are "CRC errors" and what should I tick in that box?
I prefer not to re-code
After I have the video, sound and subtitles, how do I delay/advance the sound?
VobBlanker to stick the Muxman reauthored movie back into the original DVD.
Or, you said "delay... in the authoring program". What authoring program allows me to delay/advance the sound by up to 1000ms?
Does anyone know what is wrong?
Thank you very much for the info. I've got several questions.
First, why did the process (PgcDemux /Muxman) mess up the subtitle colors? Originally I had nice white subtitles with a black outline that were very easy to read, so I don't understand why the subtitles changed to blue with red outline. I never wanted to change the subtitle colors.
Second, you said to use PGCEdit to correct the subtitle color problem, but I already had DVDSubEdit on my computer so I wanted to try and use that software. So I opened up the full domain and in the "Subpic Color" box, there were 4 squares ( labeled b,p,e1,e2) that had the strange red and blue colors. Since there are 4 squares, I didn't know what colors I should change the squares, so I loaded another (known good) movie and looked at the squares and so I changed the color of the squares to match that of the known good movie (see screen shot 1 ). However, after doing this, and playing the movie, , the subtitles looked much better, but there was a strange blue tinge on the outline of the subtitles. So I read the DVDSubEdit manual and and did a Shift -Click operation (see screenshot 2, DVDSubEdit manual)
Just by luck/chance that totally fixed the problem, the subtitles are perfect now, but I don't understand what I did, and I read the manual many times and don't understand the part about the Shift-Click. Could you please explain that part more clearly? And what was the bluish tinge on the outline of the subtitle even after I had changed the 4 squares to either black or white? Alternately, if I want to skip the step with DVDSubEdit and use VobBlanker instead, what are the final steps in using VobBlanker to get the final DVD?
By the way, I just burned the disk and played it in the DVD player which delays the audio by poor design, and by advancing the audio 800ms, now the audio is perfect when played back on this DVD player. I think this topic (how to delay or advance audio directly in DVD) should be made into a sticky.

Or you can define them again using DVDSubEdit or (easier, I think) PGCEdit. Or you can do a copy and paste of the CLUT from the original into the Muxman authored DVD, also using PGCEdit.

I think this topic (how to delay or advance audio directly in DVD) should be made into a sticky.
Thank you very very much for the info, esp on VobBlanker. For an experiment, I am going to use Muxman to get the screwed up colored subtitles again and then try to follow your instructions and use VobBlanker to fix without using DVDSub Edit. At first I was confused when you said, "replace the DVD back into the original", but now I think I got the idea.
As far as replacing the DVD player,
the DVD player was thrown out by someone else because they didn't select the correct option in audio setup, and therefore couldn't get the English voice, so I think this DVD player is special because I saved it from the landfill. My previous DVD player would not play DVD reburnable disks at all.
I also want to experiment a bit more with DVDSub Edit and the CLUT to see if I can better figure out what I did.

If there's not enough space for a second soundtrack, though there probaly is, you could squeeze them down by compressing them, to say 128k AC3. (Use ffmpeggui, eg.) Standard DVDs seem to be at least twice that, but 128k is still fine unless you have a symphony concert.
Interesting idea about adding a second soundtrack. By the way I figured out completely how to solve the subtitle color problems. I use DVDSub Edit file>open full domain>first VOB. The problem is, the software is geeky, providing hundreds of subtitle colors, when 99.9% of everybody wants either white or yellow subtitles with a black outline. (See screenshot 1) If you look closely at the subtitle letters, you can see the letters are either white or yellow, with a black outline. The color or the letter is called parameter e1 (red circle in screenshot 2), and the outline of the letter is called parameter p (green circle). Just choose the colors you want for the letters "e1" (most likely white or yellow) and then make sure to choose black for the "p" outline. I found that it is necessary to turn up the contrast and brightness on the computer monitor to the maximum to truly be able to select the pure black, otherwise you might be selecting dark blue, or dark red, or dark green, etc, and then the outline of the subtitles will have a strange ghosting coloration. To select the colors, read the screenshot 3 (Changing the color indexes into the CLUT) and also the above posting, "Changing the CLUT colors".
1. In your example the main color was e1, but that's not always the case. And often there's an anti-aliasing color involved. I often anti-alias the subs I create or edit, and quite a few commercial DVDs use anti-aliasing.
2. There's a pretty good guide out for this, in addition to the very good included tutorial:
3. In my opinion your 99.9% of the people preferring white or yellow is a bit high. As far as I'm concerned yellow is good only for anime and white is good for nothing. I much prefer a nice grey color, as does Criterion, Eclipse, Warner Home Video, and others. I recognize I'm not in the majority in this, but maybe a strong minority would agree.
Good going on getting your audio and subtitle problems solved. And just think of how much you learned in the process.
Thanks for the reference tutorial (http://download.videohelp.com/DVDSubEdit/Guides/ChangingColors/Guide.htm)
However, in his example, he doesn't make clear which parameter is the anti-aliasing color. Can I assume that "e2" is the anti-aliasing color (see below screenshot)? Then, in my above example with white and yellow subtitles, what color should I use for anti-aliasing?
You can't assume anything. That was one of my points in my last post. Yes, the antialias color is most likely to be e2, but not necessarily. Check the colors you have in the DVD and find them in DVDSubEdit. Then experiment in changing them around and testing the result by moving that clear-opaque slider around to see what does what. And you can only find an antialias color if there's one to be found. Often one of the colors is unused.

Notes: Skipper tempers excitement
Notes: Skipper tempers excitement
"I don't even know what our record is," Francona said. "I'd rather be what our record is than 13-30. That's stating the obvious."
Ever since his team's epic comeback from being down 0-3 in the 2004 American League Championship Series, Francona has frequently repeated a four-word phrase: Stay in the moment. That simple message can serve a team equally well when things are going good or bad.
"We preach so much to stay in the moment," Francona said. "What we did last week is gone. What we're going to do, or have to try to do next week, if you look at it, you kind of get overwhelmed. I just think it's the right way to do it."
With the way the Red Sox are playing lately, it can only help their quest to reach the ultimate goal. But Francona knows how much baseball there is to play. And the 2006 Red Sox -- who led the AL East as late as July 31 before falling hopelessly out of contention -- can serve as an immediate reminder of how quickly things can change.
"We weren't able to answer some of the things that were thrown at us," Francona said. "That was hard to take. But you don't know what's going to happen. I don't want to sit here either and say, 'Oh, August is coming, we're going to hurt.' That's why the way I was stating it the way I was earlier. That's kind of why we go about it that way. I think that makes us a better team."
With a three-game series against the Yankees set to begin on Monday, Francona was a lot more concerned with trying to beat Tim Hudson and the Braves in the rubber mach of a three-game Interleague series.
"We're trying to be the best team in our league," Francona said. "That's our objective. The best way to do that, in my opinion, would be to play a good game today, then when it's time to play a good game tomorrow, we'll do the best we can."
Extra day for Schill: Because Julian Tavarez and Curt Schilling both started games in Thursday's doubleheader, Francona had to decide which order to pitch them in at New York. He opted for Tavarez on Tuesday and Schilling on Wednesday. Knuckleballer Tim Wakefield will open the series on Monday night.
Schilling has labored more than usual in his last two starts, giving up six runs over 11 1/3 innings. Perhaps an extra day of rest will help Schilling get his crispness back.
Another fast start for Youk: For the second season in a row, first baseman Kevin Youkilis is off to a strong start offensively. Youkilis is hitting .327 with five homers, 22 RBIs and a .416 on-base percentage.
Francona sees signs that Youkilis is a more polished player, and one who is better positioned to have success over the full season.
"We've always talked about his plate discipline, his ability to grind out at-bats and swing at strikes," Francona said. "He's a more mature player and person. I also think, reputation with the umpires, you earn that. Because you do have to earn that in this league. He's a year stronger. He's worked hard in the winter and it shows."
Lester progress report: Left-hander Jon Lester, shut down for a couple of weeks after suffering cramping in his left forearm, is moving forward again. Lester was strong for Triple-A Pawtucket on Saturday, allowing just one hit over 3 2/3 innings.
Lester will pitch again on Friday against Syracuse. The lefty's rehab assignment expires on June 17, though the Red Sox could activate him before then if they feel he's ready.
On deck: Wakefield will be pitted against right-hander Chien-Ming Wang in Monday night's opener at Yankee Stadium. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET.

Park Rapids proves 'you can get there from here'
Marshall Dodge was wrong. As it turns out, you can get there from here.
The phrase "You can't get there from here." Or, in the proper Yankee Droll, "you cahn't get theyah from heeah," was first popularized by humorist Marshall Dodge in one of his stories about the quirkiness of rural New England culture as reflected in a small town in north central Maine called Millinocket.
Built upon the Millinocket Stream at the junction of the Penobscot River, the town grew up around the 19th century lumber milling and railroad industries, much about the same time railroads and large scale lumber operations were reaching into the forests of northern Minnesota around Park Rapids.
The people of Millinocket became known for their thrifty, rugged self-reliance, common sense and general skepticism for grandiose ideas.
Hmmm..... Does that sound familiar?
Today, Millinocket is home to 5,203 residents. Forest products and recreation are the major employers. The town also boasts a regional hospital and municipal airport. A dog license costs $6. All of that sounds familiar too.
As nonsensical as it sounds, the phrase "You can't get there from here" when used properly in its original context, is partly meant as an inside joke, as it requires an appreciation for Maine's unique geography, where it sometimes seems that there really is no way to get there, and is partly meant as a torment for rude and impatient New York tourists, so focused on reaching their destination that they missed the journey.
I think it is here, in the metaphorical sense, that the meaning of the expression is best appreciated. The internal logic is impeccable, because if you believe there is no way to get to where you want to go you will never be proven wrong. If you think you can't get there, you are right, and you won't.
So, what do you do when you can't get there from here? Well, change the point of departure. That is, change the way you think about the problem. Try a different attitude. I do not mean suspend all critical thinking. That would just make a script for a bad self-help infomercial. But there is a line between skepticism and cynicism.
Skepticism is a healthy expression of doubt or unbelief. Cynicism is a disparaging of the motives of others.
Five years ago, the downtown revitalization committee initiated a comprehensive study of the challenges and the potential for economic growth and development in downtown Park Rapids. Three years ago this plan was adopted by the city council as a blue print for the revitalization of downtown. Last year, Main Avenue was completely rebuilt. This year, 16 granite inlays on the new downtown street corners will welcome tourists, visitors, and residents alike to celebrate our lakes and northwoods life style, all of them paid for by private donors.
Two years ago, redevelopment of the armory was just a grandiose idea. Considering the history of misadventure and lost opportunities over the last 20 years, this was properly so.
This spring, after winning over some very tough skeptics, the first phase of Armory Square will open. This would not have been possible without vital contributions and the support of the city council, Hubbard County Regional Economic Development Commission, Midwest Minnesota Community Development Corporation, Northwest Minnesota Foundation, Industries for Park Rapids, Headwaters Regional Finance Corporation, Park Rapids Downtown Business Association, the Downtown Revitalization Committee and the support of other organizations and groups such as PRLAAC, CERTS, the Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce, Minnesota Department of Employment & Economic Development, and the Office of Energy Security.
Who says you can't get anything done here?
Last year the city opened a new deep well, and this year, the city began working on expanding parks and trails access into the downtown area, to incorporate the Heartland Trail extension project where it will pass by the heart of the city. And all of this has been accomplished in the middle of the worst economy in 70 years.
The people of Park Rapids are thrifty, rugged, self reliant, appreciate good common sense and are generally skeptical of grandiose ideas. But if you still think we can't get there from here, shame on you.

An institution-based view of international business strategy: a focus on emerging economies
Leveraging the recent research interest in emerging economies, this Perspective paper argues that an institution-based view of international business (IB) strategy has emerged. It is positioned as one leg that helps sustain the "strategy tripod" (the other two legs consisting of the industry- and resource-based views). We then review four diverse areas of substantive research: (1) antidumping as entry barriers; (2) competing in and out of India; (3) growing the firm in China; and (4) governing the corporation in emerging economies. Overall, we argue that an institution-based view of IB strategy, in combination with industry- and resource-based views, will not only help sustain a strategy tripod, but also shed significant light on the most fundamental questions confronting IB, such as "What drives firm strategy and performance in IB?"Journal of International Business Studies (2008) 39, 920–936. doi:10.1057/palgrave.jibs.8400377

Community Agriculture Alliance: What expiration of 2008 Food and Farm Bill means
October 11, 2012
The 2008 Food and Farm Bill expired Sept. 30, and the House adjourned until after the election, leaving the 2012 Food and Farm Bill stuck in Congress and many important agriculture, energy and nutrition programs unfunded. The Senate and the House Agriculture Committees passed versions of a new farm bill. The Senate approved its version of the bill, but the House leadership refused to take up the bill, stalling the process of getting it finished. This affects everyone who eats.
This will hurt farmers and ranchers, especially dairy producers, organic farmers and those participating in conservation programs. It will shut down programs to encourage young farmers, programs to improve and certify organic farming as well as rural development funds that promote farmers markets, community-supported agriculture and cooperatives. It will hurt seniors and children who need food assistance.
Milk producers take a direct hit with the loss of Milk Income Loss Contracts. Dairies are facing considerable challenges with the nationwide drought. It takes a lot of water to make milk and a lot of water to produce feed for dairy cattle. The milk contracts helped dairy producers when domestic milk prices fell below production costs. Without the milk contracts, there's no safety net for dairy producers facing the highest feed costs in history.
Landowners using conservation measures on their land face the expiration of funding for the Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the Conservation Reserve Program.
The incentives program provides assistance for conservation measures to meet environmental regulations, and funds offset the expense of high-tech manure management equipment. The money is used to support intensive grazing systems, conservation tillage and individualized energy audits. Nearly $1 billion has disappeared from conservation programs.
The Conservation Reserve Program distributes rental payments to landowners who convert land to long-term, resource-conserving covers. This reduces erosion, protecting millions of acres of topsoil and lakes, rivers and streams threatened with sedimentation. More than 6 million acres will rotate out of the Reserve Program this year, and no new sign-ups will be allowed because the farm bill has expired.
Recommended Stories For You
In addition, programs for beginning and young farmers now are unfunded. They offered training, education and technical assistance to the shrinking number of young people dedicated to providing our food security. Incentives for sustainable farming and organic farming are gone. Startup funds for farmers markets are gone.
Eight energy programs for developing renewable energy in rural communities are stalled as well as a half-dozen rural development and agricultural research programs. Some $31 million in nutrition programs, supporting school lunches and food banks, is gone. The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, which served nearly a million low-income seniors in 2011, is gone.
Congress will return to Washington for a lame-duck session before adjourning in December. The first order of business should be passing the 2012 Food and Farm Bill. Farmers, ranchers, rural Americans and consumers should impress on their representatives how important this is.
Kent Peppler is the president of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Union.

What our clients are saying.
These people go out of their way. It's almost like they know you personally like a neighbor or a friend. Ever since I've started doing business with them they consistently go the extra mile...they're just great.
These people could have made a lot of money if they just tried to sell me everything I needed. Instead, they allowed me to rent it. They have never disappointed in terms of service. They go out of the way to get into our place, and they've gone out of their way to do whatever needs to be done. Finally, if I ever have questions, I have an answer in a day. I would totally endorse CHS Propane.
I like CHS because they're owned by Montana farmers and they act like it. They're good drivers. And they're polite drivers.

Thirty-Sixth International Conference
on the Fantastic in the Arts
The Scientific Imagination
March 18-22, 2015
Marriott Orlando Airport Hotel
See the full program with abstracts here.
The Scientific Imagination will be the theme for ICFA 36. Join us as we explore the possibilities and intersections of science and imagination—from Faust and Frankenstein, through the Golden Age and the New Wave, to steampunk and mash-ups—in all their guises, including fiction, film, television, music, theater, comics, visual art, and social media. Papers might explore topics such as rationalism vs. belief, science for good and ill, alternate and speculative technologies and biologies, futurism, imaginary sciences, time travel, and the tensions inherent in discovery, among other topics. We welcome papers on the work of our guests: Guest of Honor James Morrow (winner of the Sturgeon Award, the World Fantasy Award, and two Nebula Awards), Guest of Honor Joan Slonczewski (winner of two Campbell Awards), and Guest Scholar Colin Milburn (author of Nanovision: Engineering the Future). We also welcome proposals for individual papers and for academic sessions and panels on any aspect of the fantastic in any media. The deadline for proposals is October 31, 2014. We encourage work from institutionally affiliated scholars, independent scholars, international scholars who work in languages other than English, and graduate students.
Guest of Honor
James Morrow
James Morrow is a science fiction writer and author of the Godhead Trilogy, which includes the novels Towing Jehovah, Blameless in Abaddon, and The Eternal Footman. He has won the Theodore Sturgeon award for Shambling Towards Hiroshima, the World Fantasy Award for Only Begotten Daughter, and Nebula Awards for "City of Truth" and "Bible Stories for Adults, No. 17: The Deluge." A self-described "scientific humanist," he is widely recognized as one of our premiere satirists of religion, philosophy, and human belief systems. He is also a playwright. His most recent novels are The Philosopher's Apprentice and Shambling Towards Hiroshima.
Guest of Honor
Joan Slonczewski
Joan Slonczewski is a Professor of Microbiology at Kenyon College and an award-winning science fiction writer. She holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale University and teaches courses including Microbiology, Virology, and Biology in Science Fiction at Kenyon, in addition to mentoring students conducting research in Kenyon's Bacterial pH Laboratory.

text: Personally I'm sort of ok with the Titan because the ship is canon even if the design isn't. Things like the NX-01.5 and the butt ugly Aventine on the other hand, no thanks. Sadly there's no mention of the Daedalus Class, now that's something I'd much rather see. That's a true bridge between the NX-Class and the Constitution.

Put All Your Puppies in One Basket
For the last week or so I've been working out an Easter basket sliceform. I made a prototype with a prosaic looking bunny and a bunch of eggs in it (yawn).
I took it into work to show my co-worker who has five (count them, 5) dogs. I don't remember when the *boing* moment came, but the next thing I knew, I was thinking I really needed to put all her dogs in one basket.
Agreeably, she went home for lunch and came back with photos on her phone. So this design is dedicated to Ellie Mae, Rolland, Stanley, Petey, and Maxwell!
How To Make the Easter basket sliceform
Download PDF, print and cut out. The rectangular frame around the design is for size reference: it is designed to be 8" x 10".
Arrange the contents of your basket to fit on the basket contents template. I designed my basket completely digitally, laying the template on top of my picture as I worked, then removing it before printing. If you prefer, you can glue directly onto the template.
On the bottom of the template (the part with the slots) you should keep your design within the width of the template. Most of this will not be very visible. On mine it's all grass pattern.
On the top (the curved part) do not make your design any taller than the template or it won't fit below the handle. You can make a wider design as I did, but you will need to extend the slots upward. The slots will show a bit in the finished design. (On mine the slot runs through Elly Mae's foot).
And yes, I messed it up the first time. Poor Rolland was too far over to the left and the slot cut right through his little head.
Assemble the basket
This sliceform is a little tricky because the slots are angled. Pieces tend to come unattached as you're adding other pieces. As I work I keeping turning the piece and re-seating anything that's coming apart.
1.Contents and inside sides
Fold up the bottom tabs on the contents (shown as a plain purple piece).
Angle the top tab through the center slot of the inside side (yellow), then slide the folded-up bottom tab through. Unfold the bottom tab.
Repeat for the other inside side.
2. Handle piece front and back
You will slide the inner slots of the handle piece (green) and the inner slots of the inside sides (yellow) together. The inner slots are the ones closest to the middle of the piece.
Slide one end of the handle piece onto one inside side piece, then the other end onto the other inside side piece.
Repeat for the other handle piece.
Important! The slots under the bows at the top of the two handle piece must point in opposite directions!
3. Outside side pieces
Fold up bottom tabs on outside side pieces (purple).
Slide the outside side pieces onto handle (green) pieces: slotting the inner slot of the outside side onto the outer slot of the handle.
Repeat for other side.
4. Outside front and back pieces
Starting on one side, slide the top tab of the outside side piece (purple) through the outer slot of the front piece (blue).
Push the folded-up tab through the slot and unfold.
Work across the piece. In the pictures I am working right-to-left. Slot together the inner slots of the front (blue) and the outer slots of the inside side piece (yellow).
Now the other inner slot of the front and the outer slot of the other inside side piece (yellow).
Finally, attach second outside side piece (purple) as you did the first one, by inserting the top tab first, then pushing through the folded-up tab.
Slot together the outside back piece (blue) the same as the front.
5.Create bow
Crease each bow where it joins the handle.
Slot the bow pieces together.

BLACK HILLS CREEK. Black Hills Creek rises near White Springs, seven miles northeast of the Black Hills in southeastern Presidio County (at 20°40' N, 104°01' W), and flows southwest for eighteen miles to join Terneros Creek. The united stream subsequently flows a mile to its mouth on the Rio Grande, four miles below Fort Leaton State Historic Site (at 29°32' N, 104°16' W). The stream principally crosses Quaternary alluvium, but it originates in volcanic deposits and terminates in the gravel terrace of the Rio Grande floodplain. The soils are light reddish-brown to brown sands and clay loams, often rough and stony. The vegetation consists primarily of sparse desert shrubs.

Sean, I'll email you the details. We have open and closed cell chemicals. Closed cell is the most commonly used.
Pretty neat, mind telling us how much the equipment runs & how much SF does a set of tanks cover at 1 or 2" (I am assuming you are spraying CC)
Dianna - that question would probably be better in the forum or a group like the weatherization or Best Practices - with that OC should not be used where moisture might be an issue. While I am sure there is a liner, if there are any issues it can become an issue pretty quick as most mobile home frames I see are rusted. As for the sponginess, well that is because OC does not add rigidity, only CC does and you probably already had or do have a moisture leakage issue. I doubt ground transfer could have affected it yet & unfortunately as OC is basically a sponge you need to find it quick
Open cell spray foam was installed on the underside of the floor from the crawlspace of a double wide mobile home almost two years ago. Air ductwork was also insulated this way as it hangs under the floor. Rotten belly paper and bat insulation was removed.Open cell was recommended over closed cell. Not sure this was a good move. I think I can feel some sagging, between the floor joists as I am walking barefoot across the floors. Your thoughts??

Legal Question in Business Law in Illinois
I own a company and had a logo designed, do I need to include "llc" in the logo? For example, if I own A Big Cat llc and my logo is "ABC" with "A Big Cat" underneath, do I need to include the "llc" after "A Big Cat"?
1 Answer from Attorneys
No, you do not need to include "LLC" in the logo but generally somewhere on you products and marketing material you should specify the complete legal name of your business, including the LLC.
By the way, if you intend that your logo be used to identify your goods and services as a trademark, you should put a "TM" on the logo to put people on notice of your claim. If you ultimately register the trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, you should modify the logo to replace the TM with the symbol ® (the letter "R" surrounded by a circle, for a registered trademark)

Leading Off: Not all animal behaviorists are created equal
Unfortunately, anyone can call himself or herself an animal behaviorist. No uniform standards exist for evaluating the competency of animal behaviorists or trainers, and there is no state or federal legislation governing these professions. But there are places you can turn to for help.
ANIMAL BEHAVIORISTSTwo animal behavior organizations have recognizable governing bodies and requirements for formal education: the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists (ACVB) and the Animal Behavior Society. Diplomates of the ACVB are veterinarians board-certified in behavior, a recognized specialty of the American Veterinary Medical Association. Only 46 veterinarians have completed a residency, published research, and passed boards to become diplomates. And veterinarians are the only ones licensed under governmental agencies and, thus, are bound by ethical and legal responsibilities. More information can be found at http://www.dacvb.org/.
Certified applied animal behaviorists must meet similar educational and experiential requirements, including a master's or doctoral degree from an accredited college or university in a biologic or behavioral science with an emphasis on animal behavior and supervised experience in applied animal behavior. More information can be found at http://www.animalbehavior.org/.
For general training and problem prevention, you likely will refer clients to a trainer. Never refer clients to someone you or your staff members have not objectively observed, even if you've talked to the trainer on the telephone or clients have recommended the trainer. While there are many excellent trainers working with animals, others use questionable techniques or have an inappropriate scientific basis for their training. Some trainers even diagnose behavior problems and prescribe treatment plans. I know of veterinarians who have referred clients and their pets to trainers who used extremely harsh techniques, causing more harm than good and, in some instances, physical injury and death. In most of these cases, the referring veterinarian was simply unaware of how the trainer trained.
Before referring clients to trainers, you should know what methods and tools the trainers use, their credentials and expertise, whether they carry liability insurance, their communication skills and style, where their classes are held, and the types of classes they offer. Excellent articles are available that explain how to choose an appropriate trainer.1,2
With a little bit of investigation, you will find great people you will feel comfortable referring your patients with behavior-related issues to.

Another fine mess for FA over Mark Clattenburg brings little prospect of stain removal
In the hours before kick-off at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, one Chelsea official admitted to a sense of relief that the storm that had raged around the club for the previous 12 months was finally lifting.
More than anything, Chelsea, as a club, wanted to move on and to put the John Terry affair behind them. Even with Terry serving a four-match suspension, after being found guilty by the FA of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand, there was a feeling that the pre-match handshake between Ashley Cole, Terry's team-mate, and Rio Ferdinand, Anton's brother, would bring at least a degree of closure.
Chelsea, as much as English football, needed a fresh "race storm" like a hole in the head. Even if this time they are…

$39 Sennheiser Headphones, model SNHD202-II
Got some and like them.
(+ Wrote a whole post and lost it...)
I have some HD-202's and the plastic panel inside them presses on my ears and they hurt after about half an hour. This however was greatly improved by stuffing extra foam under the pads. It also can get a bit hot in there, i suppose the same goes for any circumaural 'phones.
However the bass on these things is great, and the sound in general, especially at the price point. I've had them for many years with a lot of use and abuse (after the foam mod) and although I did have to do a cable repair on one side, they are otherwise mint. At the same time I ran the cable for that channel around the headband so it only comes out of one side.
However my px-100's get a lot more use. Great sound (if a smidge laid-back), very adequate bass, light and comfortable. I can easily wear them all day and then they fold up into a compact carry case to come home with me.
Being open as they are you can still hear what's going on around you, and your close neighbours can hear what you're listening to, which may be an advantage in some circumstances. They also suffer less from the "boomy" character which comes with some closed phones.

Pentair Inc. Reports Operating Results (10-Q)
Posted by: gurufocus (IP Logged)
Date: October 26, 2010 01:15PM
Pentair Inc. (PNR) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2010-10-02. Pentair Inc. has a market cap of $3.5 billion; its shares were traded at around $35.45 with a P/E ratio of 19.2 and P/S ratio of 1.3. The dividend yield of Pentair Inc. stocks is 2.1%. Pentair Inc. had an annual average earning growth of 3.8% over the past 10 years.PNR is in the portfolios of Bill Frels of Mairs & Power Inc. , Columbia Wanger of Columbia Wanger Asset Management, Steven Cohen of SAC Capital Advisors, Manning & Napier Advisors, Inc, Kenneth Fisher of Fisher Asset Management, LLC.
Highlight of Business Operations:
Our Water Group has progressively become a more important part of our business portfolio with sales increasing from approximately $125 million in 1995 to approximately $1.8 billion in 2009. We believe the water industry is structurally attractive as a result of a growing demand for clean water and the large global market size (of which we have identified a target market totaling $60 billion). Our vision is to be a leading global provider of innovative products and systems used in the movement, storage, treatment and enjoyment of water. In the later part of 2008 and in 2009, sales revenues in water significantly declined due to the impact of the global recession. We have seen some improvement in the Water Group markets in 2010.
At the same time, we provided earnings guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2010. We anticipate that fourth quarter sales growth will be in the mid-single digits, compared to the prior year quarter and reported earnings per share on a diluted basis will range from $0.42 to $0.47 in the fourth quarter.
On February 2, 2010, we initiated earnings guidance for the full year 2010 of a range of $1.75 to $1.90 per share from continuing operations on a diluted basis, which we adjusted on July 29, 2010 to $1.86 to $1.96 per share from continuing operations on a diluted basis and further adjusted on October 26, 2010 to $1.93 to $1.98 per share from continuing operations on a diluted basis.
Our full year 2010 outlook is based on several variables. First, our guidance anticipates revenue growth of approximately 12 percent as a result of improvements in overall market conditions, as well as the benefit from our growth initiatives, which we expect to bring our total revenue to approximately $3 billion for the full year. Second, based upon that revenue expectation, we project net earnings of $1.93 to $1.98 per share as a result of higher operating margins due to carryover of productivity gains from our restructuring projects in 2009 and ongoing productivity, offset partly by higher costs for certain raw materials, reinstatement of certain employee benefits and wage increases and increased investments on research and development and sales and marketing resources. Third, we expect a reduction in interest expense as a result of lower borrowing levels and lower interest rates. As noted previously, however, deterioration in general economic conditions in our primary markets and geographies would adversely impact our anticipated annual revenues and financial performance.

My opinions are my own. | Who else would want them?
Not having many people around (my wife, my adult son, and myself), I'm planning a simple, nontraditional, nutritious meal: A big crockpot roast with vegetables, cooked slowly all day, and some cornbread. I need to find a good-sized lamb roast tomorrow, and if I can't do that, go for beef. Marinate it overnight Wednesday with some wine, herbs and pepper, then crockpot it all day at low heat with chopped potatoes (from my garden), celery, carrots, brussel sprouts, bok choi, rutabaga, onion, parsnip, daikon radish) in a beef broth with some barley and quinoa added.
Always gets eaten, great for leftovers.
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
-- Terry Pratchett
Blac, next time you do a beef roast in the Crock-Pot, try adding stout instead of wine (I prefer Murphy's to Guinness, personally). I promise you won't regret it.

Oooh, oooh! Please let me know what you think!
The Guiness/Murphy's thing is more sentiment, I think, since Murphy's was the first stout I ever tried. But I do notice a flavor difference between the two, and I do prefer the Murphy's, though if the store only has Guinness I don't usually bother making a special trip elsewhere.
I used to occasionally drink Spaten Optimator, because who can resist a beer called "Optimator?" (Plus it's quite good.) But I've never cooked with it; it's very hard to find. I'll keep an eye out for the Obsidian Stout.
Warning: For the first half-hour/hour or so the beer won't smell great, and you'll wonder if you made a huge mistake. It'll get better, I promise, and by the end of the next hour or so your mouth will be watering.

Sometimes it's not possible to say "enough is enough". In my family, I'm the only one who can cook anything beyond the daily basics. If I refused to do the holidays, my family would eat supermarket pizza and ice-cream :-/ Not very festive...
Also, they're never all happy, someone always complains about the food and dad grumbles because he has to do the dishes. Then he and mom will argue because mom tries to help with the dishes. My sisters will disappear to their rooms and computers with not so much as a thanks for the meal and I'll despair for a while and contemplate those brandy truffles.
And this is with just four other people to feed. If the lady the OP posted about has more than that (likely, most people didn't live the bohemian lifestyle we did and settled far away from our extended fam) and has been doing it for 19 years and never asked for the duty in the first place, well, I can see how she might be exhausted and entitled to complain.
I asked to be the designated 'hostess', I was 13 and tired of the same food for the hols but eaten off the nice china
I'm pretty glad I'm not going to my fam's for the hols this year, can't afford to travel. One of my sisters is coming to visit for Xmas so I'm looking forward to cooking for just two and we have similar tastes so that'll make it so much easier.
Assuming we don't end up pulling each other's hair out... or eyes...
We're so dysfunctional, I know...
