JUST SAY NO - to Wood
Wood would have a limited scope in the game unless you wanted to make wooden weapons, armor or build a house. Instead let's give the professions some love. We all know that engineering really needs some loving so why not make arrow patterns? Get simple wood or star would from an enchanter supplier, an arrow head from a blacksmith and you have the mats to make arrows.
Instead of making a new profession, Blizzard should buff up the old ones. This would require no new trainers and the patterns could be drops, or trainable I would love to be able to make shields with my blacksmith.

Heartland Institute Luncheon: This Recession Caused By Over-Regulation Not Market Failure
July 30, 2010 | Filed Under Banks, Barack Obama, Budget, Business, Capitalism, Chicago, Conservatives, Economy/Finances, Franklin Deleno Roosevelt, Free Trade, Government, History, Liberals, President, Regulation, Taxes, The Heartland Institute, Uncategorized, Warner Todd Huston, WWI, WWII | 3 Comments
-By Warner Todd Huston
I just returned from a nice little luncheon given by the Heartland Institute (www.heartland.org) in beautiful downtown Chicago, Illinois. The purpose of the gathering of free-market supporters and like-minded individuals was to celebrate the life's work of famed economist and Nobel Prize winner Milton Friedman.
The principal speaker was Richard H. Timberlake*, student and friend of the celebrated economist and an accomplished free-market economist in his own right.
I've done several such events for some of the conservative think tanks and state policy groups in the Windy City and I enjoy these events in Chicago because I always get the uneasy feeling that our little conclave of right-thinking fellows well met is the last vestige of civilization and that we are putting on the timbers to secure the gates as the barbarians mount their attack. The barbarians of which I speak are, of course, the city full of Democrats and socialists that looms on all sides surrounding our little events.
But I digress. Mr. Timberlake's talk was very informative but can be boiled down to a few main points.
- The Fed has too much power to interfere in the economy
- We should go back to the gold standard
- Let the Markets work. They maximize motives, morals and real production
And this one is the most salient of them all…
- This "Great Recession" is a result of over regulation, not a failure of the market
Mr. Timberlake began his talk retracing some of the early 20th century history of the fed and he made a point that I was not aware of. In the late 1920s and early 30s the fed actually instituted a policy that it termed "direct pressure" on America's financial milieu in order to punish "speculators" and that policy overtly levied against the country's economy actually, in Timberlake's opinion, "initiated the catastrophe" of The Great Depression. So, far from just reacting to the depression — and badly at that — the fed actually caused it.
During the question and answer period one of the things that Mr. Timberlake said concerning the government's gold stockpile got a hearty agreement from the assembled. We should empty the govt's gold stockpiles and return ownership of gold to the people, Timberlake advised.
After all, what is the government doing with all that gold? We aren't using it to back our fiat paper money. So why has it been squirreled away hundreds of feet beneath the earth? As Richard Lorec of America's Future Foundation said to me after the event, "we spend all that time, sweat, and blood to dig all that gold out from beneath the earth only to build vaults underground and put it all right back again." Man is a strange creature, isn't he?
In any case, I had a great time and thanks to Zack Christenson of The Heartland Institute for helping me with the arrangements.
*Dr. Timberlake, professor emeritus of economics at the University of Georgia, has chafed at what he considers misrepresentations by some Federal Reserve policymakers of Dr. Friedman's views to justify wholesale intrusion into the U.S. economy. "The monetary excesses that current Fed policymakers have put into place in the banking and financial systems are a pending nightmare," Dr. Timberlake has warned.
"The only end of writing is to enable the reader better to enjoy life, or better to endure it."
–Samuel Johnson

48% of Homes Under Water by 2011by Tim Manni
The number of under water borrowers, or those who owe more on their home loan than their property is worth, will increase to 48% by 2011, said Deutsche Bank yesterday. Deutsche says the number, which by their estimates will nearly double in about two years, will encompass a new class of borrowers, prime:
"We project the next phase of the housing decline will have a far greater impact on prime borrowers," Deutsche analysts Karen Weaver and Ying Shen said in the report.
Of prime conforming loans, 41 percent will be "underwater" by the first quarter of 2011, up from 16 percent at the end of the first quarter 2009, it said. Forty-six percent of prime jumbo loans will be larger than their properties' value, up from 29 percent, it said.
Why Prime Loans?
When the housing crisis began, states were ravaged by the subprime failures; in the months and years since, that wave of subprime foreclosures has broken and rolled back. Lenders have all but ceased issuing anything subprime, and beside FHA loans, prime — whether conforming or jumbo — became the main option for most borrowers.
Since then, the flagging economy has caused millions of job losses, fueling more loan failures especially among "prime borrowers." Furthermore, falling home prices have seen some homeowners "walk away" from their homes that were so far under water that even getting back to a zero equity level was impossible anytime soon. This is a classic case of "good borrowers gone bad":
The drop in home prices is fueling a vicious cycle of foreclosures as it eliminates homeowner equity and gives borrowers an incentive to walk away from their mortgages. The more severe the negative equity, the more likely are defaults, since many borrowers believe prices will not recover enough.
When Will Primes Recover?
Within recent months, housing statistics have been consistently improving. While Reuters does classify Deutsche's report as "another blow to the housing market," several other housing reports have begun to show a true reversal in the real estate downturn. We wonder, with an improving economy and firming housing markets (and hopefully more of the same by 2011), how did Deutsche arrive at their conclusions?
While Federal housing incentives tend to cater to first-time, mostly conforming borrowers, some experts have begun to say that the high-end markets have missed out on the budding rebound. The high-end market is a small but important portion of the housing market:
The divide between the mass market and the high-end — generally defined as homes that cost above $750,000 — partly reflects the effects of Washington's housing-rescue plan, which is producing winners and losers.
Policymakers have helped spur sales of lower-priced homes by offering first-time buyers a federal tax credit of as much as $8,000, by driving mortgage rates to near 50-year lows and by expanding the mission of the Federal Housing Administration, which will guarantee mortgages for consumers buying homes with down payments as low as 3.5%.
Do you think Deutsche's report is accurate, inaccurate, or way off base? What do you think the state of the housing market be in 2011?

A day after finally finding out the official release date of Gran Turismo 5, we're still in a state of mixed disbelief. You can excuse us for feeling this way after all since Polyphony Digital and Sony have delayed the release of the game about five times now.
But this time, it looks different. This time, it just may be it.
And just to illustrate what all of us are in for, they have come out with a new trailer for the game that's got some things in it that we didn't know the game had. First, there was the voice-over of no less than Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel. Then there's the Stig himself making some sort of cameo and did we also mention that Sony announced that GT5 will also come in 3D?
If everything does push through, you can bet that Gran Turismo 5 will be redefining the way auto racing games will be made in the future. Check out the video and tell us that you're not salivating yet. We won't believe you.

For Timothy Kurek, a Christian who was once vehemently anti-gay, homosexuals were bad. They were wrong. And they should burn in hell. Amazingly, Kurek decided to open his mind and put himself in someone else's shoes. For one year, he pretended to be gay. The results changed his mind forever.
His sea-change means one thing clearly: being a racist or homophobe is entirely a result of ignorance and blindness. Once people open their minds, it can end.
Kurek's decision to spend a year living as a "gay" man came after a friend came out to him as a lesbian. He even "came out" to his mom, had a friend be his boyfriend, joined a gay softball league, and was called names like "faggot." It changed him.
His book The Cross in the Closet is all about his change of heart when it comes to gays. The fact is, once you know a gay person, you quickly realize, gay or straight, we all basically want the same things. We all want love. We want to be accepted. We want to be close to others and not be bullied or called names.
People who taunt gays or think it's funny to call others "gay" as an insult or, worse, use the word "faggot" as though it were acceptable are missing out. They are missing the full spectrum of love and life and they are doing so because they are ignorant and scared.
There is no shame in admitting ignorance and trying something new. The fact that Kurek could do this opened up a whole world to him. If only everyone were so open.
The reality is that most people who "hate" gays have never met someone is. If they had, they would know all the things the rest of us know about homosexuals. If you want to hate, why not hate the things that SHOULD be hated?
How about hating poverty? Or unemployment? Or crappy maternity leave policies that leave women having to go back to work when their babies are 3 weeks old? There are so many REAL things to hate. Why bother hating people? It's a fruitless waste of time that hurts instead of helps.
Good for Kurek for curing his own ignorance and using his awakening to help others. Let's hope all religious people who use that to cloak hatred and fear do the same.
Have you ever had an awakening about something you feared?
This made my day. <3 I wish more people would do something like this! All it takes is a little nudge and we can put an end to the hate.
That is one amazing man!!!! Shows that there still is hope
Do you think if kids weren't so afraid of being beaten and ostracized for being homosexual, that they would live their lives openly and not start relationships with opposite sex people they are not in love with just so they conform to what is accepted?
I think it's fear. Fear keeps many young men and women living the life that is accepted. This kid just did a lot to dispel that fear. Maybe a few more people will teach their kids not to label and attack their peers.
Dee - so true.
What a nice story. If only everyone were this open-minded when it came to things like acceptance of others. I may not want to live someone's life and I may not agree with their choices, but I will respect them and support them to live how they want to.

COMPOTITE CORPORATION, headquartered in Los Angeles, CA has been manufacturing shower pans since 1938. Compotite® , the original standard for shower pan liners, has been superseded by COMPOSEAL, which was developed to provide even greater protection, ease of handling and long term durability. COMPOSEAL is manufactured in the USA.
An extensive chemical research department maintains quality control on COMPOSEAL production runs and provides research service to customers when required. Technical service is available by contacting COMPOTITE CORPORATION.
COMPOSEAL is a blue flexible PVC waterproofing membrane manufactured in 30 and 40 mil thickness in widths of 48", 60" and 72", packaged in 100 ft.and 50 ft. rolls. Unlike ready made units of plastic or metal, COMPOSEAL can be formed to fit any dimensions or drain locations.
COMPOSEAL is used as a concealed waterproofing membrane for showers, Roman tubs, whirlpool bath enclosures, fountains, roof decks and terraces. COMPOSEAL cannot be used as a liner for pools containing fish or water plants.COMPOSEAL is also used extensively in renovation and remodeling, and in the northern climates, as a liner for outdoor hockey rinks.
COMPOSEAL is used generally under tile or marble as a waterproofing membrane beneath a "thick set" mortar bed of 1 Ľ"-2" above a substrate of wood or concrete.
Flexible Waterproofing for
· Floors · Walls · Roof Deck/Terraces
Under "thick bed" Tile Installations
Before placing pan, see that the sub-floor is sloped toward drain Ľ" per foot using cement mortar if necessary, and is free of loose objects or projections such as nailheads or gravel.
Make turn-up along walls not less than 3" above curb line, allowing sufficient material to fasten to outside face of curb.
Notch wood studs to ˝" to the height of the pan to allow COMPOSEAL to be flush with face of the studs. For metal studs, use furring strips (Ľ" to ˝") above the top of the pan.
Fasten 3" or higher above the top of curb. Use flathead roofing nails or staples on wood studs. Use drywall screws and washers on metal studs.
Fold corners outside pan as illustrated. Allow for plumb surface by turning corner folds of pan out of way between studs and notch studs or use furring strips mentioned above to maintain a flush surface. Do not cut pan corners.
Use bold-down clamping-ring type drain with weep-holes. Set so subdrain lip is flush with subfloor.
Trim for drain exactly to size of drain opening. Do not trim out to bolt holes, but pierce to accommodate bolts with a tight fit.
Use butyl caulk or equal between pan and subdrain. Plug subdrain and fill pan with water and let stand for 24 hours to insure clamping ring is tight and pan undamaged. Bolt clamping ring firmly. Place a small amount of gravel or other porous material at weepholes so they remain clear when setting bed is poured. In areas under the jurisdiction of the UPC/IAPMO plumbing code, a 15 lb. felt underlayment is required under 30 mil shower pan liners. (The City of Los Angeles no longer requires this underlayment.) No underlayment is required for use with COMPOSEAL 40 mil thickness.
COMPOSEALs multi-purpose, preformed corner/curb protector is available to reinforce waterproofing at all corners and curbs. These protectors are sold in pairs and can be used for all outside corners as shown in the 3 illustrations to the right. Compotite does not recommend inside corners which, when cut, weaken the installation.
COMPOSEAL 30 and 40 comply with the three major plumbing codes: UPC-IAPMO, SBCCI and BOCA. COMPOSEAL has separate municipal approval where required, e.g. City of Los Angeles, City of Philadelphia (40 mil), Metropolitan Dade County and Commonwealth of Massachusetts. (Approval is no longer required in New York City for concealed PVC waterproof membrane).
COMPOSEAL also complies with the Corps of Engineers specs for PVC shower pan material (para 188.8.131.52 15 p1-18) and meets the requirements of FHA Publication 4900.1.
WARRANTY: COMPOSEAL 30 and 40 are warranted against failure for any reason, and in the event of failure, replacement material will be supplied at no charge. This warranty applies only to the membrane itself and not to the manner of installation over which we have no control, and it does not extend to consequential damage or other implied responsibility. COMPOSEAL should last the life of the building.
COMPOSEAL requires no maintenance and should last the life of the building.
COMPOSEAL is available at most plumbing supply houses and in some areas, generally west of the Mississippi, is carried by your tile wholesaler. To contact Compotites local rep or to determine your nearest supplier, call our TOLL FREE number in Los Angeles 1-800-221-1056. COMPOSEAL can generally be shipped within 3 days from any of 7 warehouses across the country. COMPOSEAL PVC SOLVENT CEMENT is also stocked at each of these warehouses.
CEMENT WELDING: COMPOSEAL may be welded by the use of a flexible vinyl solvent cement which gives instant contact strength. COMPOSEAL SOLVENT CEMENT is available for this purpose. Use only Compotite approved PVC cement for seaming and welding Composeal. Lay sheets with an overlap of two inches with upper lap edge towards direction of watershed. Fold back top edge and apply the cement to both surfaces. Place together after surfaces become tacky, about two minutes, and press or roll with a roller, first lightly so as to avoid slippage, then firmly, but not so hard as to distort the material.
COMPOSEAL 30 and 40 meet the engineering requirements of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and the Ceramic Tile Institute (CTI). ASTM D4551 is the test standard established by ASTM
"for PVC flexible sheeting which is used with mastic, bedding or coating for construction of concealed water-containment membranes in applications where there is potential for costly secondary damage from water leakage and very long term reliable performance is essential. The tests are intended to ensure quality and performance."
COMPOSEAL 30 and 40 meet and surpass these ASTM standards.
These test results are shown on Page 2.
COMPOSEAL 30 and 40 also meet the CTI requirements for waterproof membranes.
These tests were conducted by the United States Testing Co., Test Report No. LA 63554, Smith Emery Co., Test No. T-88-122A-B, and Truesdail Laboratories, Report # 24371-1.

Kerry: Iran Must Prove Intent To Resolve Nuclear Issue
December 10, 2013 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
WASHINGTON (UPI) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said during Capitol Hill testimony the nation is at a "crossroads" with Iran that could lead to a deal on nuclear weapons.
Testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Kerry said the "first step" deal brokered between Iran and a group of six Western nations, including the United States, halts Iran's enrichment program and in some instances rolls back what progress Iran has made toward manufacturing weapons-grade uranium that could be used to create a nuclear weapon.
Some U.S. and Israeli lawmakers have said the first-step deal is too lenient and gives up sanctions that were effective in crippling the regime for its nuclear ambitions. Kerry stressed the deal reached is good for both sides.
"The national security of the United States is stronger under this first step agreement than it was before," Kerry said. "Israel's national security is stronger than it was the day before we entered into this agreement. And the gulf and Middle East interests are more secure than they were the day before we entered this agreement."
Part of the deal, Kerry, said, includes Iran giving up its full stockpile of 20 percent enriched uranium — the highest level next to weapons grade.
"So if you remember when [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu] held up that cartoon at the U.N. with the bomb in it in 2012, he showed the world a chart that highlighted the type of uranium that he was most concerned about," Kerry said. "And he was talking about that 20 percent stockpile. Under this agreement, Iran will forfeit all, not part, all of that 20 percent, that 200-kilogram stockpile. Gone."
Representative Eliot L. Engel (D-N.Y.), the committee's ranking Democrat, expressed reservations Iran would pull a bait-and-switch.
"[The Iranian regime] has … a history of deceiving the international community about its nuclear program. … It has that history, and it's pursuing a ballistic missile program in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions as well," Engel said. "So Iran is not just another country. It simply can't be trusted with enrichment technology, because verification efforts can never be foolproof."
Kerry acknowledged much remains to be done to see whether Iran is truly committed to ending its nuclear enrichment program.
"I came away from our preliminary negotiations with serious questions about whether or not they're ready and willing to make some of the choices that have to be made, but that's what we put to test over the next months," he said.
Still, Kerry said, the two sides are engaged in delicate and complicated diplomatic negotiations — ones that could result in a normalization of relations if they succeed or set the stage for future conflict if they fail.
"We're at a crossroads," Kerry said. "We're at one of those really hinge points in history. One path could lead to an enduring resolution in the international community's concerns about Iran's nuclear program. The other path could lead to continued hostility and potentially to conflict. And I don't have to tell you that these are high stakes."
He also called on lawmakers to hold off on legislation that would increase sanctions on Iran while negotiators continue to work toward a comprehensive deal.
"We're asking you to give our negotiators and our experts the time and the space to do their jobs. And that includes asking you, while we negotiate, that you hold off imposing new sanctions," he said. "Now, I'm not saying never. I just told you a few minutes ago, if this doesn't work, we're coming back and asking you for more. I'm just saying not right now. Let me be very clear, this is a very delicate diplomatic moment."

Litespeed Management's Best Stock Picks
By Meena Krishnamsetty - January 16, 2013 | Tickers: CAG, GSK, MIC, RAH, THRX
Small-cap stocks don't get as much attention from most players in the financial world, which often renders them less efficiently priced than larger stocks. As can probably be expected, hedge funds take advantage of this differential, and hence generate a significant portion of their alpha from the small-caps.
At Insider Monkey, we started publishing a quarterly newsletter at the end of August that follows hedge funds' top small-cap picks more »

The window-scaling problem sounds a lot like what I found and posted about (http://pl.atyp.us/wordpress/?p=1371) in 2008. It's insidious, because it only affects some connections and it does so rather unpredictably. Kudos on nailing it so precisely.
Java and Kernal Bugs
Java Concurrency Bug
This is the first bug we found in a system outside VoltDB. We used LinkedBlockingDeque in Java's concurrent package to maintain concurrent access in VoltDB's network subsystem. Once in a while, we noticed cluster lockups when the system was under pressure. After looking at the stack traces of the VoltDB instances on the servers, it looked like the threads were waiting for the same lock which nothing seemed to own. This caused the whole system to deadlock.
After creating a small program which could successfully reproduce this problem without VoltDB, we were determined that this was a bug in the Java runtime system. We submitted the bug to Sun.
The fix was introduced in Sun JDK 1.6u18. In essence, the bug was caused by absent proper memory barriers in various code paths that could result in lost wake-ups of locks and hangs.
Kernel TCP Bug
A much deeper bug was revealed when we were testing VoltDB with our implementation of the TPC-C benchmark. We noticed consistent lockups of the system which rendered the whole cluster unusable. It only happened when VoltDB was run on CentOS 5.4. We tried hard to find the cause of the problem in VoltDB, but the stack traces of the cluster instances did not shed any light.
We could easily reproduce the problem by running three nodes with two clients firehosing at them. After the server had finished loading, the lockup usually happened within 20 seconds into actual transaction processing. When it happened, the cluster stopped processing any transactions. VoltDB instances on each node showed 30% to 50% CPU usage. The stack traces always showed that two of the three server instances are expecting data from each other and waiting. However, the data never came. Linux command 'netstat' showed that on node A, the TCP connection to node B had an empty receive queue. The same connection on node B had a full send queue. This did not seem how TCP should normally behave. So we did some further investigation with 'tcpdump.' It turned out that the two nodes were constantly sending TCP ACK packets to each other with non-zero window sizes. Interestingly, the packets were all duplicate ACKs. These were the only packets that they exchanged after the lockups started. No application data was sent. In other words, the server on node B pushed data to the TCP connection, asking the kernel to deliver them to node A. However, the kernel refused to do so even though node A was asking for more data.
The TCP packet dumps had finally convinced us that this was a bug in the Linux kernel. Hence we started digging through the kernel bug reports and patches. Surprisingly, the bug turned out to not be in kernel drivers, but in the kernel TCP stack. The kernel was calculating the window size incorrectly under certain conditions. When VoltDB stressed the network, the bug was triggered.
If you are not familiar with TCP, it is a connection-oriented, link-level protocol. The connected machines use window sizes to indicate how much data the other end can send to it without causing hiccups. The field used to represent window size in the TCP header was not designed with today's broad bandwidth in mind, considering 1 Gigabit link in a LAN is normal nowadays. A new technique called window scaling was introduced to solve this problem. It basically solves the problem by using the same field in the TCP header to indicate a much larger window size. This is achieved by using a scale factor agreed upon by the two machines connected to scale the number up. In such a way, much larger TCP packets can be exchanged on a broadband link to increase efficiency.
This bug only happens when TCP window scaling is used. To get around it, we turned off the window scaling feature in the kernel. Although the TCP window size is reduced, it does not hurt cluster performance since the packets are generally small in VoltDB. To turn off TCP window scaling at runtime (no need to reboot the machine), you can use the following command as root,
[sourcecode language="sql"]
/sbin/sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0
You can also make it persistent by appending the following line to /etc/sysctl.conf,
[sourcecode language="html"]
net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 0
The fix for this bug was introduced in kernel version 2.6.25. CentOS 5.4, which was our testing platform at that time, was using 2.6.18 without this patch. We have submitted a request to RedHat to backport the patch to RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.4.
Kernel Driver Bug
Besides the TCP bug we found in the kernel, there was another one we found in the Intel Gigabit Ethernet Network Driver version 1.3.16-k2 on Intel's 82576 Gigabit Ethernet controller. The TCP connection between two nodes died shortly after our benchmark started.
The specific behavior was that node A had 0 bytes in its TCP receive queue, yet it told node B that the TCP receive window size was 0, indicating that it could not accept more data. So node B could not send anything to node A, and the cluster died.
The fix for this is to turn both TCP segmentation offload and generic receive offload off in the ethernet card driver. To do this, execute the following commands as root where X is the number of the ethernet card,

Ozymandias. Shelley, 1818.
Edit: crikey, this went berserk overnight (by the standards of my tumblr); thanks to you all.
Jude, "In Between"
Well I know a man, old man, about ninety five
He could hardly see nor stand
But he was goddamn glad to be alive
And he said, "Hey son go and taste your life!
Get in your car and drive."
And that's exactly what I do
"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers - so many caring people in this world." — Mister Rogers (via Mister Rogers and Newtown)
He was a big man, says the size of his shoes
on a pile of broken dishes by the house;
a tall man too, says the length of the bed
in an upstairs room; and a good, God-fearing man,
says the Bible with a broken back
on the floor below the window, dusty with sun;
but not a man for farming, say the fields
cluttered with boulders and the leaky barn.
A woman lived with him, says the bedroom wall
papered with lilacs and the kitchen shelves
covered with oilcloth, and they had a child,
says the sandbox made from a tractor tire.
Money was scarce, say the jars of plum preserves
and canned tomatoes sealed in the cellar hole.
And the winters cold, say the rags in the window frames.
It was lonely here, says the narrow country road.
Something went wrong, says the empty house
in the weed-choked yard. Stones in the fields
say he was not a farmer; the still-sealed jars
in the cellar say she left in a nervous haste.
And the child? Its toys are strewn in the yard
like branches after a storm—a rubber cow,
a rusty tractor with a broken plow,
a doll in overalls. Something went wrong, they say.

Once I'd done my job search and, incidentally, applied for a record number of jobs then had a bit of a clean up I decided to take a walk to Hobbycraft on Mansbridge Road. There was no big plan, just an idea they might have some decent soap moulds or something else of interest that didn't cost much. Besides, it's quite a nice walk and it looked like a niceish day.
There wasn't much of a plan on the route front either. When I walked out the door I was going to go up the Big Hill and pick up Cutbush Lane. The wind was blowing straight down the hill quite fiercely though so I decided to go a different way and walk through Townhill Park, meeting Cutbush Lane where it bends. The weather forecast had said there might be rain but it looked bright enough so I was hoping it was wrong.
There were blue skies and white clouds as I walked along the lane, unlike last time when the rain was falling. I took my phone out to take a photo and saw I had a voicemail message from Arabella, she wanted me to call her when I had a moment. When I got to the open fields the distant sky looked quite rain like and I had the feeling I would be wet before I got home. Still, while it was dry I took advantage and kept an eye out for interesting fungi and plants. Not long after the fields I was rewarded.
On an old rotten log amongst all the leaf debris there was a huge mushroom. Slimy and curled up as if it was on its last legs It looked like it was melting. If course I stopped to take photos and, after Googling a few guides I think it may be Pholiota astragalina or something very similar. Mushrooms and fungi are far tougher to identify than plants.
The sky behind Hobbycraft was black, in front of it was blue, sadly I'd be going towards the black not the blue. As it happened there wasn't a lot to interest me inside, well, not that I could afford, although I did get some small silicone moulds and a little funnel to help me pour my lip balm mixture into tubes for carrying about with me. Both were on sale which was handy. Briefly I thought about going to the garden centre next door for a coffee and a chance to call Arabella. It was never a good plan, plants are too tempting, coffee costs money and I don't like talking on the phone in public places.
As I'd been walking I'd been thinking about routes home and half decided to go up towards Chalk Hill to the village and maybe pick up a paper for Commando on the way. The sky didn't look good though and in the end I decided to go down towards the river. I'd be able to sit on a bench and call Arabella from there. At least I'd be walking down Gaters Hill instead of up which is always a bonus. Because the trees are leafless I could just about see the mill house across the road so, when I got to the bottom, I thought I'd go and see how close I could get.
A while ago I wrote a post about the history of the mill but I've never actually stopped to look at it properly before, mainly because there is no footpath on that side of the road and it's quite a tight bend. Today though, there wasn't much traffic about so I crossed. There was a large sign saying private property no public access but I pretended I hadn't seen it and walked as far towards the mill house as I dared. This wasn't actually all that far because I could see a car in the car port so I knew someone was home. It's quite a pretty little house, much modernised but the river was so high the top of the bridge was barely visible. I'd have liked to walk down the lane and look at the other buildings but I didn't want an argument with the owner so I didn't.
The river was extremely high as I looked down towards the White Swan. Commando tells me it was flooded several times over Christmas and the New Year. Today the doors were open though so I guess they must have cleaned it up. It must be disheartening constantly having floods but I suppose it is the price you pay for living in such a beautiful location. Insurance must be a problem for them.
So I crossed back to the other side of the road again and set off towards Mansbridge, the bridge not the place. The woods beside the road were sodden, more like a lake with trees growing in it than a wood. It occurred to me that I might not be able to get along the river path and would have to walk up Gaters Hill after all. There was a large puddle at the bottom of the slope from the road to the bridge but I was able to walk on the muddy grass to avoid it. It was a little slippery but I survived.
The Itchen was flowing fast and furious under the bridge and, when I looked at it from downstream I noticed it has acquired one of the little black plaques that have sprung up all along the Navigation. I also noticed burst banks and realised there would be some wading through river water.
There was but the boots held up. They've certainly been worth the money this winter and saved me wet socks countless times. Just round the bend there's a bench so I made for that and called Arabella. We had a long chat. She's a little fed up at having nothing to do even though she's still meant to be working for the next five months or so. After being in the middle of everything for so long it's hard to be cut out of the loop and sit twiddling thumbs all day. Goodness knows what their plan is but it doesn't make any sense to me. The last scores were abysmal apparently. I can't say I'm surprised, there have been so many changes, lots of little cuts, even more since I left and passengers are not happy.
We talked about work for a while and I thanked her for the talking book she sent me to listen to on my walks. It was nice to sit by the river chatting. Typically, while we were talking some horses came over the bridge and I couldn't take a photo because I was talking on my phone. After a while it began to get darker and I thought rain was on the way so I started walking towards home as we talked. There were more burst banks further along and the woods were completely flooded on the other side of the river. Again I cured the fact I didn't have a camera as well as my phone.
By the time I got to Woodmill it was teaming down and I was still talking. This meant I couldn't take a picture of the beautiful rainbow above the mill. We carried on talking until I got to the final corner of the river. It was good to catch up with her and we always could waffle on for ages. No sooner had I cut off the call than I heard the womp, womp, womp of swan's wings coming from behind me. That was lucky. I managed to get a photo of a swan flying down river. Not the best photo because it was all in a rush but still.
Smoke was billowing from the other side of the river and I thought at first that one of the houseboats was on fire. It turned out to be a bonfire. A mother and child had just thrown bread for the swans too and there was a seagull melee going on. When I tried to take some photos of the swans I ended up with shot after shots of seagulls, they were swirling round my head, so close I could have grabbed one. Good job I don't have a bird phobia.
So that was my walk, just over five miles, bringing my total for January to sixty five point five seven miles, well on track for my hundred a month. So far I haven't mentioned my one thing to make me smile for the day either. This is because I'm trying to decide what it was. The walk made me smile. Talking to Arabella made me smile. The talking book present made me smile. That's three things and I've just spent a couple of hours chatting to Rachel and having my hair cut. It's been a good day in the smile stakes for sure.

In reply to Chris Duran (Letters, June 11) I have been told by many people since the local election that Labour are far too dominant in the borough and this will inevitably lead to complacency and possible door opening to potential corruption in public financial transactions and democratic record keeping. Time will prove to be the best judge.
All elected Lib Dem councillors since 1981 in Waltham Forest have all held locally busy weekly accountable local Ward surgeries on behalf of resident issues.
All elected Liberal Democrat councillors since 1981 in LBWF have been renowned for placing the highest store on resident our local contract, in belief that faithful community service and resonding with everything from resident complaints that the bin-man has not put by bin back in the right place to important tenant led housing meetings and testing local consulation in resident surveys on planning and licensing hours.
Labour waste has been rampant in recent years and the target for many freedom of information demands particularly from local champion community workers with exemplary skills in persistent public scrutiny on behalf of the 'silent majority'.
Nick Tiratsoo LSE and Odessa Road in Leyton and the peerless 30 years of public service of Lib Dem councillor Bob Sullivan could hold the feet of the so called council `strong leader model' to the fire on a raft of public accountability issues in the name of democracy.
In Walthamstow all Liberal Democrats `activists' were in the van in changing the pernicious attitude of the arrogant council leader- via the High Court - who still thinks it is acceptable to send needy vulnerable dependant weekly patrons of the Christian Kitchen to a distant site at the Crooked Billet roundabout after 25 years of being at Mission Grove.
Mr Duran fails to point out that it was a massive Local Election miracle to increase the Labour vote given the legion list of Labour own -goals in this Borough not least with public finance scrutiny and a tendency to blame all ills on `public cuts': instead of showing residents a full set of accountancy records on public spending projects, like on the missing allocation handed to local businesses, under the auspices of the Waltham Forest Business Board. Then there is the matter of public funding of the `pravda' magazine that is costing the taxpayer £500,00 a year, without any public consultation debate inside or outside the new town hall Labour `fiefdom'.
In Higham Hill I predict a democrat deficit without hard-working local caring Liberal Democrats on all important campaigns that include putting in place the highest standards of pupil safety, in the face of dangerous vehicle speeds, in Billet and Higham Hill Roads.
All schools in Higham Hill are all in receipt of the five year highest amounts of `pupil premium' in the borough as a direct result of Lib Dems policy in government. I have also sent my concerns on long patient waiting lists for daily Higham Hill GP visits to the Mr Norman MP the Lib Dem health care minster for his attention.

Are Nobel Prizes overrated?
Since the issuing of the first award in 1901, the Nobel Prize has become the pinnacle of general recognition. Many would agree that those who have received the Nobel Prize have done great work in their field, but even so there are themes of rejection, redemption, and controversy surrounding the awards. In my Bioelectricity class, for example, we have discussed a number of Nobel Laureates such as Arrhenius, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903, for work that once received less than stellar reviews from his very own professors, and Nernst, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1920 for work based on the work of Arrhenius. We have also seen in history (e.g. Rosalind Franklin) circumstances in which scientists have participated closely with Nobel Prize-winning research, but nonetheless were left unrecognized. Finally, as there are very few categories for this award (physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace), notably left out are awards for engineering, technology and other advancements for humankind. So I ask the TED community: Do you think Nobel Prize are awarded effectively? And with respect to science: Who is better at evaluating the value of a scientist's research? Peers? Awards committees? Especially given the fact that it often takes many years to see if research can stand the test of time? Are Nobel Prizes overrated?

Gordon Barker 10+Feb 7 2013: It is an institution that has not kept up with changes in the world. As you indicate, there are many disciplines that are ignored and some that should be ignored.
The peace prize is a joke, the economics prize should not exist because that is a pseudo-science like alchemy and the fact that only three people can be named on the prize ignores the current way of attacking problems with teams of researchers.
The physical sciences are generally correct in their deliberations in that worthy people get prizes although not all worthy people are recognized.
The peace prize has set the bar so low as to make it irrelevant. Anyone who can give Henry Kissinger a peace prize has his head up his ass or watches too much Fox news (which is the same thing actually)
The economics prize is a bit of self congratulatory fluff by people with no intelligence to people with no intelligence. I pay no attention to that bit of garbage.

Where the joint is situated?
How exposed to the elements will it be?
How easy will it be to repair if the joint should fail?
Will it need to fill any gaps?
And will any health hazards be acceptable?
It is rarely advertised, for the DIY market because the manufacturers sell enough to industry.
However it can be bought in small quantities.
This is a high exposure resistant and waterproof adhesive.
Resorcinol has two components.
It is comprised of a liquid resin and a hardener which can be either powder or liquid.
Joints are strongest on closely meeting faces where, clamping pressure is high.
Excellent for laminating as it will not creep once the initial set has occurred.
However, it does leave a dark colored line along the joint.
There are two main grades one of which can only be used in warm temperatures.
It is certainly waterproof and is excellent for sealing end grain.
However it does set hard and therefore can be brittle.
Once set cleaning off any excess is difficult.
It can deteriorate with prolonged exposure to UV light.
And there are the health risks, associated with the chemicals in the hardeners to consider.
However the better grades such as Aerolite 306 are excellent easy to use adhesives for non-exposed applications.They have moderate gap filling ability good durability and are creep resistant.
There are some exterior versions which are described as being 'waterproof'.
should be wary of using them
on a boat and certainly
not outside the cabin unless the wood is properly sealed to control the
moisture level.
However a hot glue gun because it is convenient and the glue sets quickly is a super way to make templates.
small strips of thin
plywood a template, of that
awkward curve can be quickly stuck together with the gun.
However they could, at a push be used to glue small pieces together, but only on interiors.
It does become brittle and has poor shock and solvent resistance.
It will yellow and degrade with exposure to UV light.

The home of Oyster Bay's most famous resident, , would be closed if the shutdown of federal services takes place Friday.
Tours of the "Summer White House," where Roosevelt spent much of his time away from Washington while he was the 26th U.S. president, would be discontinued beginning Friday if the federal shutdown takes place, a spokesman for the said Thursday.
Barbara Baxter, a spokeswoman for the National Parks Service, said Sagamore Hill and all 394 national parks in the federal system would be closed to the public if the federal government's shutdown takes place.
"We continue to remain hopeful that the shutdown will be avoided," Baxter said Thursday afternoon.
Essential services, including U.S. military forces, the Postal Service, and federal law enforcement agencies, would not be affected directly by the shutdown, federal officials say.
Sagamore Hill and other national parks on Long Island would be affected. They include The Gateway National Recreation Area on Jamaica Bay in Rockaway and the Fire Island National Seashore on the Atlantic Ocean off Suffolk County.
The National Parks Service offers tours of the Roosevelt's 80-acre grounds and mansion on Cove Neck. Tours are conducted five days per week, Wednesdays through Sundays, hourly from 10. a.m. to 4 p.m. The the Roosevelt mansion has between 80,000 and 100,000 visitors a year, federal officials said.
The colorful and progressive Roosevelt, a lifelong conservationist who championed the National Parks System, occupied the home from 1885 until his death there in 1919.
Roosevelt served as U.S. president from September, 1901 until March, 1909, when the 23-room, Queen Anne-style mansion served as the Summer White House. He and his second wife, Edith, raised six children in the home.
The government shutdown would also furlough eight federal employees at Long Island's 10 National Wildlife Refuges, said Michelle Williams, refuge manager for the Long Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex.
The closed wildlife preservation areas include the Oyster Bay National Wildlife Refuge that surrounds Roosevelt's Sagamore Hill property, located on a secluded neck that defines Oyster Bay to the west and opens on Long Island Sound. Roosevelt is considered the father of the national wildlife refuge system.
The shutdown would also close the Wertheim refuge in Shirley and the refuge in Lloyd Harbor, she said.
Wertheim alone has 95,000 visitors annually, Williams said. Other visitation figures weren't available.
Wildlife at the various refuges would not be affected by the shutdown, Williams said. The Oyster Bay refuge is the home to Long Island's last commercial oyster farm and a wide variety of water fowl.
