I have a hard time applying myself to something unless I know why I'm doing it. Songwriting is something I've had to come back to repeatedly as I continue to ask myself "Why am I doing this?" "What's the point?" A few months ago I took time again to put down on paper what exactly I was going to try to accomplish by writing songs. One of the things I put down was "to preserve history through songs". This certainly is not a groundbreaking concept in the songwriting arena…Many of the Psalms and poetry contained in the Bible are a preservation of the history of Israel. Early American folk songs preserved the memory of meaningful events, such as those found on one of Decca's earliest albums, a compilation titled, Badmen, Heroes, and Pirates, which pays homage to folk legends who fought against injustice.
People have been writing and singing about their past from the beginning, but it is a little more intimidating than it used to be. Long ago groups of people all held basically the same beliefs about certain past events, and affirmed those beliefs through their cultural expressions. But now, even seeing is not necessarily believing. There's CGI, and Photoshop. There are people out there trying to dupe us to serve their own ends, so we must be suspicious. Anything can be called into question. So as a modern day songwriter, I sure don't want to be the guy who writes a song about how great William Shakespeare was, only to discover to my embarrassment that scholars have decided unequivocally that William Shakespeare, in fact, did not write the works of William Shakespeare (some people believe this, btw).
But I love history, I love learning more of it, and I believe some historical events and figures actually happened/existed, are meaningful, worth preserving, and can speak meaningfully to us in our time.
However, it wasn't really an articulate thought process that led me to write and record "The Story of St. Patrick". It was green beer. It was corned beef. It was leprechauns. If March 17th were called "American Perception of Irish Celebration Day" it wouldn't have bothered me. I know, I know, nearly all the histories behind our holidays have been completely obfuscated by commercialization. But, by jimminy, it's called "St. Patrick's Day" and nobody was talking about St. Patrick, so I needed to write this song.

Victorian adventuress and butterfly hunter Veronica Speedwell receives an invitation to visit the Curiosity Club, a ladies-only establishment for daring and intrepid women. There she meets the mysterious Lady Sundridge, who begs her to take on an impossible task saving society art patron Miles Ramsforth from execution. Accused of the brutal murder of his artist mistress Artemisia, Ramsforth will face the hangman's noose in a week's time if Veronica cannot find the real killer.
But Lady Sundridge is not all that she seems, and unmasking her true identity is only the first of the many secrets Veronica must uncover. Together with her natural historian colleague Stoker, Veronica races against time to find the true murderer a ruthless villain who not only took Artemisia's life in cold blood but is happy to see Ramsforth hang for the crime.

What You Should Learn as a Programmer
Written on
In the past few years, there has been an explosion in the availability of various tools, database, frameworks, libraries, and so on, all of which are supposed to help you write software better and faster. For someone who is starting to learn programming, all these noise can be very confusing. Even for an experienced programmer, all these stuff can be very distracting as well. The much discussed Javascript fatigue is a symptom of the problem. Unfortunately, I'm not here to offer an anwer on how to deal with all that. I simply would like to point out some of the things that you should be aware of while wading through all these noise.
The content of this post is inspired by this talk by Ross Tuck below, which you should definitely check out. He talked about a lot of the things that I have been thinking, and he was able to present those ideas more eloquently than I could.
So, here is the thing; no one really knows what is the "best" tools or framework out there is. Like most things in software engineering, the answer to such question is, and has always been "it depends". The best tools for the job depends on what the problem you need to solve, the constraints you face, what you already know, and so on, and any claims of "The One True Way" should be faced with a generous amount of scepticism.
For better or worse, the startup booms that has been going on in the past few years has made the field of software very lucrative, and there are money to be made in selling the tools that supports the making of software. One side effect of that is, like what Ross said in his talk, developers are becoming more of both the target and the source of marketing. The problem is, many developers (myself included) like to think of themselves as being immune to marketing, and that all their decisions are made based on objective evaluations of strengths and weaknesses of the available options. "Meritocracy" definitely ranks pretty high up there among programmers' favorite words.
There are many factors that come into consideration when you're trying to make a decision on which tools/framework to use for a project. What you already know, what are the requirements of the project, and of course, the popularity of the tool. That last one is becoming more and more of a deciding factor nowadays, which may sounds a little weird. Shouldn't a tool be picked for what it is able to provide? Why does it matter how popular it is? The fact is, the popularity of a tool does matter. More popular tools would have more libraries written around it, and there will also be more resources that can help you learn it.
What makes a software popular though? And what does it mean for a software tool to be popular?
It is not necessarily by being the "best". Not necessarily by being the choice of many software developers to build their projects with. It is because there are people who want them to be popular, and they put the effort to make them so. So, yes, marketing. Not that marketing is bad thing, just that this means that just because something is popular, doesn't mean it is also good.
Once a software reach a certain level of popularity, much of the marketing for the tool comes from the users (the programmers) themselves. Most are doing this because they have benefitted from the tool and would like to promote the software because they truly believe these tools would help other people write better software faster and easier. Some though, may simply jumped on the bandwagon because it can be profitable. Being positioned as an expert on a popular software tool can be lucrative. From speaking engagement, workshops opportunity, knowledge product sales, or job offers are some of the things that can come from such position. Which is one of the driver of the hypes surrounding software tools.
So, how does one wade through all these hype-driven software development resources? Unfortunately, I don't have an answer. I am still trying to figure it out myself. But that is something that you need to keep in mind while consuming all these abundance of learning resources. If someone often speaks of a software tool in absolute term, being overly critical of any criticism of the tool, or dismissing the value of learning and taking ideas from alternative tools, you should assume that person may have objectives other than sharing knowldge and promote good software engineering ideas.
Learn the basics, and know your tools well. Try not to get distracted by all the hype-noise because that is all there is; noise. All that noise aren't necessarily the gospel of the software development that you must learn. People often have their own incentives for driving up the hype, and you won't be missing out on anything important by ignoring them.

2013 was a fantastic year, filled with many Vancouver weddings. We had the privilege of attending a number of weddings at such venues as Westwood Plateau in Coquitlam, Famee Furlane for an Italian wedding in my old stomping grounds in East Vancouver, Cecil Green, Hycroft Manor, Swan-e-set Bay Golf & Country Club, the Marriott Pinnacle Hotel and it's sister hotel the Renaissance Hotel, as well as the Diamond Alumni Centre on Burnaby Mountain, and many others. It was a memorably hot summer, and all year long, we had but a couple of rainy day weddings this year – it was simply amazing for weather. Months like September and October stayed dry again this year, and even our weddings in Novemeber and December were relatively mild compared to previous years. We were honoured to have photographed three weddings at Westwood Plateau this past year. It's simply one of the best venues in Metro Vancouver, and certainly features some of the best food for a golf course wedding. We met a fun couple from Vancouver Island, and photographed a RCMP wedding with Chet wearing his red serge. Jennifer did an awesome DIY job planning and decorating her wedding here in Vancouver. And of course we loved photographing Michelle and Andrew's wedding at the Marriott Pinnacle Hotel. They had lion dancers and the decor by Debut Event Design and event coordination by Modern Mint Event Coordinators.
It was also such an honor to have met Janis and Andrew, who came from London, UK for their garden wedding at the Stanley Park Pavilion in Vancouver.It was also our first Zoroastrian wedding, and what a better place for such a celebration than Swan-e-set Bay Golf & Country Club. Ruby and Terry held their destination Hindu and Sikh wedding ceremony at Stanley Park Pavilion. It was such a colourful wedding with so many cool cultural elements.
Lily and Jon's wedding had a memorable vintage car that Jon rebuilt with the help of his grandfather. Their wedding photos were featured in a Vancouver Sun and Vancouver Province full page spread and story over the summer.

#STLFW Neiman Marcus: Ferociousness
I was so excited about my fierce, rare-designer-purchase Vivienne Tam skirt. But, my statement necklace was undoubtedly the star of the show. "Look at me!" the necklace screamed. I just smiled.
|I'm pictured with my friend Sarah (outfit from Rung), Me: Skirt: Rung & Sprung Boutique; Top: H&M; Shoes: gifted; Necklace: Strange Species by Hyper Haute (available at Rung)
Although I've been told that I "don't look like" a heavy metal fan (we won't get into the zillion things wrong with that perception), I am a huge fan. "Toxicity" by System of a Down is one of my all-time fave songs. Motorcycles? Not so much of a fan. Actually, they terrify me. But, I still had to buy this dress. I glammed it up with a unique fringe earring (love the asymmetrical earring look) and arm candy.
|Dress: Rung & Sprung Boutique; Jewels: Yoro Creations; Flash tats: Gliks
Once again, my jewels created a much bigger sensation than my clothes. This time, though, that was the plan. I deliberately went for a sleek dress (with sassy side slits) so that the necklaces would really pop. People were shocked when I told them the top necklace was fake bananas painted silver. One of those uber-creative jewelry design tricks that truly impress me.
|Dress; Rung & Sprung; Jewels: Yoro Creations; Shoes: Ziezo; Tights: Hue
Have you gone to the Goodwill Outlet? It's not for the faint of heart or for the novice thrifter. All items are unsorted in huge blue bins that require a great deal of sifting. (Gloves are highly recommended.) Competition for the best stuff is fierce, and some people even go so far as to wear face masks and cover their carts with a blanket. My heart pounded when I saw this gorgeous vintage dress lying on top of a bin surrounded by deal-hunters of all ages. I felt a pang of fear that someone else would grab it first, but I need not have worried. With the $.79 per pound structure (yes, things are priced per pound), the dress cost less than a dollar. Wow!
|Dress; Goodwill; Tighs: Macy's; Shoes: Gifted
Finale Runway Show: I Heart Music
I spent weeks pulling my STLFW looks together, so I love everything, but I think this dress is my fave. Found at a thrift store in New York, it made my heart sing. The whimsical print so me. Several people asked if I was a designer and although I sadly said no, this dress is definitely something I would have dreamed up. With the fringe earring and lace leggings, the look struck all the right notes.
|Dress: Monk Vintage Thrift Shop ; Earring: Yoro Creations; Shoes: Gift; Tights: Rung & Sprung Boutique
Bloggers' Night Out: Shiny, Happy Chains of Love
I'd been waiting for the right occasion to bust out this shiny number, and the Bloggers' Night Out was it. We started with a happy hour at Clr-Mnster (where I bought a skirt that rivals-andmaybe even surpasses-the zaniness of the music note dress) and had dinner and drinks at
Hiro Asian Kitchen. I topped off the dress with a silver body chain and my trusty studded boots.
|Dress: Rung & Sprung; Boots: Steve Madden; Leggings: F21; Backpack: Goodwill Outlet (another gem I found!)
|Jewels: Yoro Creations
What did you wear to STLFW? Which of these looks is your fave?

We believe the great way of learning the situation is intricately depending on the best way of experiencing the very same situation. Every session in Sahaya has its own significance in extending and strengthening the knowledge and wisdom from session to session. Similar kind of experience has been taken place with few students on our last session at ZPHS Kukatpally. As we all know, we have established a library at ZPHS Kukatpally as a Children's Day gift to the said school. Now the greatest challenge is to run the library without any imaginary hurdles or virtual boundaries on the utilization of the Library books which it is meant for!
Yes, there is a solution and we found it from our concept titled "My Library". Most of the students are very enthusiastic in taking up challenges; few may feel they're the "LEADERS FOR BETTER INDIA". Though the concept of picking up the students was not up to the standards but still it is good enough because they came on their own interest. At the initial stages of the Sahaya, we "Core Team" work as Volunteers later with that experience turned into Organizers. This transformation was not happened in a single night, it takes 3 long years to learn the pros and cons of organizing an event. Now, we believe the transformations will come by assigning tasks and responsibilities to the students in the school level itself which in turn gives the good and responsible citizens to the society. From here, there are no more assumptions, we are on action to build and give the good society to the coming generations where the society itself is free from all evils. Our focus to assign a task to a particular student as follow..
1. The selected student should be able to maintain confidentiality and that he/she is should be further capable of soliciting advice from wise and knowledgeable people for appropriate allocation of the work.
2. Specific mention is also made regarding library administration, stating that preference is to be given to the student who is capable of maintaining discipline through regular contact with other students.
3. To impart leadership qualities that pave the way for success through task management and student management.
4. There is always kind attention and bold focus on the special students through register entry in library, personal assessment and so on.
In very near future we can see LEADERS dealing with task management and student management, where they can able to initiating the task and also capable in multi-task management by finding ways and means, ultimately with well-chosen expressions. Equal emphasis is also laid on stressing the need for self-reliance and absence of despondency, with the virtues of endurance and humility which eventually lead to prosperity of their own and others too.
Hoping for the Best...

Gene conversion involves the unidirectional transfer of genetic material from a 'donor' sequence to a highly homologous 'acceptor'. Gene conversion is initiated by double‐strand breaks and can arise from mutually exclusive pathways. Over evolutionary time, gene conversion has homogenized the paralogous sequences within each species whereas diversifying the orthologous sequences between closely related species; interallelic gene conversion has generated a high level of allelic diversity at certain loci. Not only has gene conversion played a key role in fashioning extant human genes but it has also been implicated as the molecular cause of an increasing number of human genetic diseases.
Key concepts
Gene conversion involves the unidirectional transfer of genetic material from a 'donor' sequence to a highly homologous 'acceptor' and occurs in both meiosis and mitosis.
Gene conversion is initiated by DNA double‐strand breaks and appears to arise from different mutually exclusive pathways.
The rate of gene conversion is mainly determined by sequence homology and by the distance between the interacting sequences, but it may also be affected by specific sequence motifs or/and sequences capable of forming non‐B DNA structures.
Interallelic gene conversion events occur between alleles on homologous chromosomes whereas nonallelic or interlocus events can occur between paralogues on the same chromatid, sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes.
Interlocus gene conversion events have driven the concerted evolution of many human gene families whereas interallelic events have generated a high level of allelic diversity at certain loci.
Gene conversion has also been implicated as the cause of a variety of different human inherited diseases.
In stark contrast to the frequent detection of pathogenic interlocus gene conversion events, the occurrence of interallelic gene conversion events causing human inherited disease is quite rare.
Only a few well‐documented examples of gene conversion events in cancer have been reported in the literature.
Gene conversion can account for the occurrence of some recurrent mutations on different chromosomal backgrounds in different ethnic groups.
Gene conversion may provide a possible future means to bring about 'natural gene therapy' by offering an important alternative to the introduction of an entire functional gene.
Keywords: gene conversion; cancer; concerted evolution; homologous recombination; human genetic disease

How to Develop a Great Scrum Master: I've not quite got to the end but really thought he had some good points. It made me think about a couple of Scrum Mum tendencies I should work on.
Facilitating a Backlog Creation Workshop
As part of our Sprint 0 tasks my team decided to hold a product backlog creation workshop. This is something often mentioned in agile and Scrum guides, but not really defined anywhere. I've used most of the the tools I pulled together separately before, but I'd never used all these tools set up in a workshop this way.
I started by setting the goals of the workshop and running through the agenda which I had on cards up on the wall with timings on (where I knew them). Continue reading "Facilitating a Backlog Creation Workshop"

Will Paying a Charge-Off Improve Your Credit Score?
A charge-off is one of the worst things that can happen to your credit score because it indicates a serious payment issue. This type of derogatory credit report listing is the result of missing your minimum credit card payment for 180 days, or six months.
After six months of missed payments, the credit card issuer declares your account a loss and writes it off as uncollectible. But that's only from an accounting standpoint. You still owe the balance of a charged-off account and the creditor will still try to collect the past due balance from you and may even enlist the help of a third-party debt collector.
What Happens When You Pay a Charge-Off?
If you pay a charge-off, you may expect your credit score to go up immediately. You've cleared up the past due balance, your credit score should reward you for that, right? Unfortunately, it's not that easy.
Paying a charge-off doesn't remove the account from your credit report. That's because clearing up the past due balance doesn't erase the fact that your account was actually charged-off. Paying a charge-off also will not improve your credit score – at least not immediately.
Over time, your credit score can improve after a charge-off if you continue paying all your other accounts on time and handle your debt responsibly. However, if you're late again or you have another account charged-off (or something worse like a foreclosure or repossession), your credit score may drop even more and can take longer to recover.
The charge-off will eventually drop off your credit report whether you pay it or not. The credit reporting time limit for charge-offs runs out after seven years and 180 days from the date of the first delinquency that led to your account being charged-off.
The Benefit of Paying Your Charge-Off
Most people would only pay a charge-off if it meant they'd receive a subsequent increase in their credit score. You may be less inclined to pay your charge-off considering you probably won't see an instant credit score boost. Even so, there other good reasons to pay your a charge-off.
A paid charge-off is always better than an unpaid one, especially if you plan to make any applications with companies that check your credit. Lenders, creditors, and other businesses are less likely to approve your applications if you have outstanding past due balances on your credit report. It sends the message that you may not pay any new accounts either. Once you pay the charge-off, you improve your odds of having your applications approved.
Negotiating a Pay for Delete
Some consumers have been able to negotiate removal of charge-off accounts via a process called pay for delete. In the process, you offer to pay the charge-off in full in exchange for having it removed from your credit report. Creditors are not required to do this, but occasionally do agree.
You can explain to your creditor the circumstances that led to you delinquency and ask that for a pay for delete. If you can negotiate a pay for delete (it can be a long shot), you're more likely to see an increase in your credit score after the item is removed from your credit report.
How to Avoid a Charge-Off
Now that you know accounts are charged-off after six months of missed payments, take care to avoid such a serious delinquency. The further you get behind on your payments, the harder it is to caught up again. So get caught up on any missed payments as quickly as possible. If you foresee problems making your credit card payment, contact your credit card issuer as soon as possible.
You may be able to make a payment arrangement that would allow you to avoid a charge-off. Or, if you're having financial trouble, your credit card issuer may allow you to enter a hardship payment plan with reduced monthly payments.

S: Powers of Ten is your homage to Bob Moog. What does Moog mean to you, in relation to the album and how important has his products been to you and your musical journey? If you had to sum up your favourite thing about a Moog synth, what would it be? SB: Bob Moog was the inventor of some the most exciting and powerful synth engines ever built - the minimoog and the moog modular - and has always been one of my heroes. When I was a little boy of 4 years I started playing on those machines as my father owned a unbelievable collection of analogue gear those days. The warm sound of a moog just touched me so much, I can´t help it, I grew up with that. The favourite thing about a moog is the very unique warmth and pressure of its sound engines. It's totally different from any other synth, it´s just more alive, it´s more powerful, it's breathing, it has soul. Most of the basslines on the album weren't even equalised much or edited dynamics-wise. The sub37 just did a great job, it's one of the best moogs ever built.more

Old-school 100% analog signal path with modern USB/MIDI smarts.
The Moog Little Phatty Stage II is a keyboard synthesizer that puts you in control of a 100% analog signal path. Like the Stage and Tribute Edition before it, Little Phatty Stage II synth has 2 ultra-stable Voltage Controlled Oscillators, and a Voltage Controlled Filter. Other versatile features include an external audio input, CV and KB gate inputs, and a full MIDI controller. Additionally, the Stage II keyboard boasts great new features including; MIDI over USB, MIDI Clock Sync, an arpeggiator, Tap Tempo, and a stylish new black finish.
The addition of MIDI over USB makes this performance and sound sculpting tool even more powerful. Combined with its warm analog sound, ability to process external audio and its intuitive performance, sound design and control features, the Stage II makes a great addition to any rig"rom full-on analog, to a laptop/softsynth setup. You can also connect the Stage II directly to a computer running the Little Phatty Editor/Librarian.
MIDI Clock Sync allows you to synchronize the LFO and arpeggiator rate to the tempo of your MIDI sequencer, drum machine, or software. Sample and hold, triangle, square, sawtooth, and ramp wave modulations can now be perfectly timed with your rhythm tracks and the arpeggiator.
The arpeggiator is a great new performance feature with applications for musicians in all genres. Its wide variety of uses is sure to find a place in any style, and, of course it also syncs to MIDI clock. Tap Tempo brings LFO and arpeggiator tempo sync functionality to situations in which there is no MIDI clock.
The distinctive new black finish is a real eye-catcher that emphasizes the unique nature of the Little Phatty Stage II.
Turn your little phatty on, and brace yourself for impact. There is a fat tone on this synth that simply needs no EQ, and will quickly become your go-to synth for the foundational basslines and mix cutting leads you've dreamed about. The little phatty is an icon for analog warmth, heavy sounds, and signature modulations. A digitally controlled, fully analog signal path with a software librarian for massive instant patch recall capabilities... Yes, this synth beyond meets modern producer needs, and provides you with the proper sound for crushing any speaker.
What an incredible sounding keyboard, sounds can not be matched especially the bass sounds and really fun to tweak and fiddle with. Good value for such a powerhouse.
Dirtiest synth I ever tried. I've got it when I wanted a subphatty with an arpeggio. Apperantely it was discontinued so I bought it used so it has some glitching issues and is sometimes not that reliable. Pretty hard to control when you want a tight arpeggio rhythm (might be because it's pretty old) and it doesn't sound clear at all. Best use for cutting through basslines and definitely doesn't sound little at all haha. Sounds even better through a Fender blues deluxe!
My favorite part of my studio. This synth basically replaces all of my softsynths. (Although I still use softsynths)
Turn on, play, sound amazing.
the best
To make sounds...
There's tons out there. This guy rules. Go try one
I held off buying one of these until they were replaced by the sub-phatty which truly blew me away. Just slightly a notch above to my ear, dirtier, deeper.... but some will disagree
if you are looking for an affordable model D sound with proper MIDI implementation check out the Studio Electronics SE1, I got one recently on the cheap hoping it would be like their old MIDI Moog with some added features and it did not disappoint. Its bummer to have to deal with a rack unit if you wanna gig with it, but otherwise its built like a tank and delivers a ton of Model D sounds as well as a lot more because of tis Oberheim filter modes. Totally a different sound than the Phatties side by side, cleaner, wetter, still Moog... the new Moogs and the SE1 double really well for sequenced bass lines.
You smack this across the Furman yet?
Always have wanted a Moog and this is a good start. I don't want to buy a voyager right away, so I can get familiar with analog synthesis on a simpler machine.

Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Romania's leu may strengthen against the euro after a sale of $1.5 billion of international bonds yesterday was a "big success" and showed improved investor sentiment toward the country, according to UniCredit SpA.
Investors should buy the Romanian currency as it is poised to gain to 4.25 per euro from 4.3477 yesterday, Gyula Toth, a Vienna-based strategist, wrote in a report to clients today.
The bond attracted total offers of almost $7 billion, Deputy Finance Minister Bogdan Dragoi said yesterday after the European Union's second-poorest member sold 10-year notes at a yield of 6.875 percent. Yields on existing government notes in euros due in 2018 today fell 7 basis points, or 0.07 percentage point, to 6.40 percent by 11:15 a.m. in Bucharest, the lowest since November.
"Following the successful Eurobond issuance, the risk reward on short euro-leu positions improved significantly, and the weak exchange rate does not seem to be in line with the outperforming credit market," Toth said. "We originally expected about $2 billion Eurobond issuance for the whole year, so the authorities have already covered 75 percent."
The leu was little changed at 4.3454 per euro. The Romanian currency has lost 0.4 percent against the euro so far this year, compared with gains of 7.1 percent for the Hungarian forint, 6.4 percent for Poland's zloty and 1.3 percent for the Czech koruna in the same period.

WE ONLY HAVE THESE AVAILABLE WITH CHROME POLYMER END CAPS. A Perfect fit for most Harley Davidsons (1982 - 2011)
If you have one of the very latest Harley Davidson's with the electronic throttle (wire throttle instead of cable throttle) as shown at the bottom of the following webpage: http://www.sideroadcycles.com/ImportedMotorcycles/ImportHandlebars/ImportHandlebars.html then be aware that installation may be difficult due to the complexity of the throttle mechanism. We have had reports of some customers being successful but we do not encourage it by any means. The technique is to place the epoxy on the throttle tube ONLY inboard of the end gear mechanism, and when you slide the heated grip into position, DO NOT pull the grip outward or you will contaminate the throttle gear mechanism with epoxy. If you purchase our heated grips for this application, attempt to install them and are unsuccessful, we cannot take back the grips with epoxy inside them or with obvious handling marks, as we cannot repackage and re-sell them. See the photos at that webpage link to understand why.
If you want chromed polymer end caps ( need pre-fitting before we ship) click here for more information- http://www.hotgrips.com/store.php?crn=201&rn=381&action=show_detail
This grip also fits many Japanese Cruisers with 1" handlebar diameter and 1-1/8" throttle tube.
Our unique internal Heat Isolation Ribs naturally limit heat transfer to the handlebars and put heat where it is needed - the rider's hands.
Patented Heating Elements are "burn-out" proof, we use .025" dia. wire.
Comfort-Sized grips naturally reduce wrist and hand stress.
High heat, Low heat , or Off is provided with all our grips.
If you want to see what the stock toggle switch looks like click on this link:
Available with Open Ends: (rarely needed on this diameter handlebar) so you can retain the end weights used on most modern sport bikes. To have us bore out your grip ends, when you select this kit there is a drop-down menu where you check the line for Open Ends. You can also select that you want either Honda stepped spacers or flat generic spacers. Read more for further explanation of spacers. Spacers are used at the end of the handlebars WHEN you purchase a kit with open ends AND select a grip length that is longer than stock. The purpose of the spacers is to eliminate any friction on the end of your throttle tube when refitting your handlebar end-weights. If you have a Honda and need open ended grips you may need stepped spacers as described: http://www.hotgrips.com/store.php?crn=201&rn=380&action=show_detail If you have any brand other than Honda and require open ended grips go to: http://www.hotgrips.com/store.php?crn=201&rn=382&action=show_detail
CUSTOM OPTIONS. All our grips come stock with a three position toggle switch allowing you to select high or low or no heat. Available Options include a handlebar mounted switch, mini switch or infinitely variable heat controller. When the variable heat controller is ordered you will not use the standard toggle switch and resistor, but they're left in the kit if for some reason you elect to use them instead of the electronic controller.

Lesson In Procrastination
I am sitting here looking at my backyard. I've included a picture so you can see what I am seeing.
This, my friends, is the result of procrastination. You see, we purchased this house six months ago. My eyes immediately spied this particular pine tree. It was unique. It went up about 20 feet as a single trunk, and then it split into two separate beams. Large beams. Over 60 feet long each!
I told several of my friends that this tree should probably be removed before it fell.
I TALKED about it. I did not do anything about it.
Flash forward to the July 4th holiday week. We were out of town on vacation, and I received a PIX-message showing the right beam laying on the ground parallel to my garden. NO DAMAGE!!!
I came home and said, "We should really take the rest of this tree down. That other beam will probably fall now."
I TALKED about it. I did not do anything about it.
Flash forward to last weekend. I was sitting in the Washington-Dulles airport traveling to Dayton, Ohio to teach the Financial Learning Experience, and guess what? Phone call from Jenn saying, "Uhhhm … The other part of that tree just fell down into the fence and into the neighbor's yard!" ARGH!
Lesson taught again – Talk without action is mere babble!
I talk about this all of the time with finances! Why didn't I take action with this tree? As I think about it, here are some reasons that I stalled on cutting down this tree.
- I don't have the appropriate tools – no chainsaw, no chipper, no stumpgrinder
- I was hoping that it would fix itself
- I really did not truly believe that the tree would fall right away – I believed it should stay in the air until I deemed that it should fall
- Too busy – there are a lot more things I want to do than cut down a stupid tree
Maybe these are the same reasons that you have procrastinated fixing your finances. You don't have the right tools, don't understand what to do, don't believe that you need to fix them right now, and you certainly have a lot of other things to do than work on your finances.
Keep delaying, and you may end up with a tree falling down … or worse.

Insurance is available at everywhere but, not everyone uses it. In fact, some people even don't know about the term "Insurance". In today's time, each and every person should get insurance for their safety and security. You can also protect your home, car, motorcycle, business and employee by purchasing policies for them. If you have purchased policies for these from any good company, then you can get good coverage when it is needed.
Everyone wants to protect his home. For that many people purchase the homeowners insurance that is the correct decision to secure the home in case of any damage events. If you have taken this policy, then you can get the property and liability coverage at the right time. This type of insurance policy depends on the age of the building, its location, normal weather events in the area, etc.
Nobody can predict the future. Have you every thought that who will protect your family if you meet with an unexpected death? A wise person always thinks about this and get the term life insurance quotes because he knows the importance of securing his family when he is not present.
There are some regions in the world, where people can expect the flood at any time like Florida. If you are staying in Florida, then you must get the Florida flood insurance. The benefit of this insurance is that you can get good coverage for the damages caused by the flood.
Most of the people would be familiar with the word "health insurance policy". When you get injured or sick and have been taken to the hospital, this policy will be very beneficial to you at that time. You'll get the costs of your medical services through this policy.
If you are a motorcycle rider or owner of it, then getting a motorcycle insurance is necessary for you. In any case, if you meet with the accident, you just need to protect yourself without thinking who was at fault. At such time, you can know the importance of this policy.
If you own a big or small business in Florida having more than three employees, then according to the law, you should get the workers compensation insurance. This policy protects your employer if he gets injured on the job. To live peacefully with full safety without any future worry getting these insurance policies from a good company is always a wise decision.
The Kirstein Insurance Services is a reputable and trusted company of Florida where you can get these all types of insurance and also other policies. The company agents are expert and well-trained. |They are familiar with all latest policies and offers you the best.

Technology is no longer just for the geeks and the nerds. In today's business world, if you want to succeed, your company better be tech-savvy. Just about every role in most companies relies on technology in one way or another. Along with the importance of technology comes the importance of protecting it by preventing data security breaches.
When most people think of data breaches, thseey conjure up ideas of hackers wildly typing away to infiltrate an organization's protected data. The traditional culprit of security breaches, however, is much more mundane.
Cyber-attacks are not the main cause of security breaches. Human errors, such as the loss of a device or forgetting to log-off, are. In other words, improving data security doesn't mean improving our firewall, it means better educating our employees. Here are some of the most common errors employees make that put their company's info at serious risk.
- Using work devices for personal activities
- Failing to notify work after loss of device
- Not changing passwords frequently
- Using the same passwords for work and leisure
These mistakes are made for the same reason: convenience. It's embarrassing to tell your boss you lost a USB drive. It's annoying to have to change passwords every few months. Fixing these errors is about teaching employees to value the security of the company's data more than they bemoan a minute or two of inconvenience every now and then.

Are vegans healthier than vegetarians?
The question are vegans healthier than vegetarians is one we hear quite often at Vegan Life Nutrition. The answer is a lot more complicated than you'd think, but it is safe to say that any diet that includes no animal products or limited animals products is generally better than the alternative.
When you consume a lot of meat and dairy, you're far more likely than someone who eats a plant-based diet to be consuming too much saturated fats, sugars, and cholesterol. All of these elements are associated with higher rates of serious health issues, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.
However, removing animal products from your diet is only the first step toward better health. You must still pay attention to what goes into your body, and build good exercise habits into your routine.
Depends on what you eat
When choosing between vegan vs. vegetarian, ask yourself which diet suits your lifestyle better. If you are on the go a lot and rely on prepackaged foods or those you can get at a take-out place, it may be easier to stick to a vegetarian diet. This is because vegetarianism is more loosely defined than veganism.
For example, some vegetarians eat dairy products, including eggs. They're considered lacto-ovo vegetarians, and it's easier for them to find menu items and convenience foods that fit into their personal diet plan. Another category of vegetarianism is the lactovegetarian, which is defined as a plant-based diet that includes dairy products but not eggs.
Regardless of which category best suits your needs, you can find healthy and unhealthy food choices in each. Even vegetarians can get too many calories if they go for the foods that are packed with sugars and simple carbohydrates. Reading labels, selecting foods that include complex carbohydrates, sticking to low fat alternatives, and replacing the vitamins and minerals that are normally found in animal products are all important ways to practice good eating habits on a plant-sourced diet.
Getting everything you need
Another question that's often asked about going vegan — is it more expensive to be a vegan? The answer is no! The vegan diet is full of healthy foods such as beans, rice, pasta, fruits, and vegetables which are also some of the cheapest foods in comparison to meats and dairy products.
Limiting or eliminating animal products from your diet is a great way to improve your health while giving a boost to the environment and your wallet. Whether you choose to eat vegan or vegetarian, you're doing something good for your body and the Earth.
VLN offers vegan health supplements, such as calcium and vitamins D3 and B12, that can help round out any form of vegetarianism.

Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST)
The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™): A Minimally Invasive Alternative to Gum Grafting
Gum recession can have a negative impact on the aesthetics of your smile. When the roots of your teeth show, it can add years to your appearance. Most significantly, recession can result in extreme tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, and sweets. Traditionally, the only way to treat recession was through extensive gum grafting. Fortunately, The Pinhole Surgical Technique (PST™), created by Dr. John Chao, has made it possible to treat gum recession with a minimally invasive procedure. At Creative Smiles in Vancouver, WA, Dr. Futenma performs the PST for patients who wish to improve the aesthetics and health of their smile.
The Importance of Treating Gum Recession
The roots of the teeth are not protected with enamel. Unlike the crown of a tooth that extends beyond the gum line, the outer surface of the root is made of dentin, which is softer than enamel. In a healthy patient, the roots are protected by gum tissue. When the gums recede, or pull away from the tooth, the cementum is exposed, making the tooth vulnerable to dental damage and tooth decay. When the gums recede, the level of underlying bone does, as well. Therefore, untreated gum recession can eventually lead to mobility and tooth loss. For these reasons, it is important to address gum recession early to preserve your long-term oral health.
How is PST Different from Traditional Gum Grafting?
Traditional gum grafting is a surgical procedure in which donor tissue is placed in the area of recession. The donor tissue is either taken from the patient's palate or purchased from a bone and tissue bank. Because conventional surgery involves incisions and stitches, patients typically require a substantial amount of healing time. Patients who have tissue transplanted from their palate will have two surgical sites rather than one, which can sometimes make recovery uncomfortable.
The PST does not require donor tissue, nor does it require incisions or stitches. To perform the PST, Dr. Futenma will make tiny pinhole access points in the gums. He will then place specially designed dental instruments through the pinholes, and gently move the gum tissue into a more favorable position. To add volume and aid in tissue regeneration, Dr. Futenma will add small strips of collagen underneath the gums. Much like laparoscopic procedures in the field of medicine, PST completes the necessary steps without the need for scalpels. Therefore, patients experience a quicker and more comfortable recovery.
Benefits of PST
Because PST is minimally invasive, it offers numerous advantages over conventional procedures. PST is incredibly effective for treating generalized recession. Therefore, patients who need several teeth treated can address all areas of recession in one office visit. This is a vast improvement over traditional surgery, which typically requires multiple procedures. Additionally, the aesthetic enhancement is virtually immediate following PST. The pinhole access points heal quickly, and are typically unnoticeable the day after treatment.
Recovery following PST
Most patients experience little to no discomfort after the PST. Swelling is a normal part of the healing process, and can be addressed with over-the-counter anti-inflammatories such as ibuprofen or naproxen. During the first 24 hours, a cold compress can be applied to the external surface in 20-minute increments to help reduce swelling. Post-treatment instructions will be provided by Dr. Futenma. Following these guidelines closely will help ensure a rapid and successful recovery.

If you have gum recession, but have been avoiding treatment, the PST is an excellent alternative to traditional gum grafting. To find out if you are a candidate, schedule an appointment with Dr. Futenma. Call our office at (360) 574-3061 or contact us online.

How many atheists here, though not believing in God, Satan, heaven or hell, still believe in some kind of conscious existence after death ? Anyone ? I, for one, do not believe in any kind of conscious existence after death. Death is the end.
Views: 2511
For all we know, when a person dies the brain might go into a dream-like state while the brain waves or brain activity slows down from the normal state when fully awake through the patterns typical in sleep down to no brain activity at all. And for all I know this deacceleration of brain activity gives off an electromagnetic field which is different from what is given off in typical states of being awake or being asleep. Just in case any of this is true, it would all still be explainable in a logical, rational, scientific, non-supernatural manner and there still is no afterlife. (Bardos has to be imaginary. You die when you loose consciousness for the last time. After that, whatever happens in your brain until all brain activity finally stops doesn't make a difference to you because you have already quit existing).
A lot has been said about the soul during last three to four thousand years. If you will know what Pythagoras, Pluto, Aristotle have said and what the Vedas, the Upanishads, The Bhagvad Geeta and the philosophies of the Buddhists and Jains, the Chinese and Egyptians say about soul, you will know that its all an amusing confusion in trying to explain the unknown. It betrays complete lack of knowledge. Its all false.
I am conscious now. There is no telling what will be the future of organic conscious life. Death is probably much like the time spent before I was. I think the competition is how to live this life.
Atheist, life after death.
There are chemical processes in an individual's mind that create individual's emotions, feelings, memories, and thoughts. At the moment of death these processes cease to function. At that moment of death, all emotions, feelings, memories, and thoughts stop, just as the heart, lungs, brain and other organs cease to function.
There is no such thing as a soul; upon death, all brain functions end and do not survive. There is no mystical entity that leaves the body and does not move to a different plane or dimension.
To believe a soul survives death is wishful thinking of a child. It is an immature assessment of how the body functions. Mentally healthy, mature, adult humans grow up and throw away childish imaginations. We exist as functioning human beings here and now, making decisions in life that make sense.
Great. If there is an afterlife I get to spend all eternity swatting mosquitos.
That brings up an important point. What would be evil for a mosquito? Do they all go to heaven? If so, can I check the other box on the admission form?
For mosquitoes, evil might be getting smacked before they've finished their drinks.
I don't believe in life after death for any species of life on earth, not just humans, but gnats and cats, and elephants, and bats...and all the rest.
Since notions of life after death is a construct of the human mind, that mind can determine who is eligible to enter.
It's unpredictable.
"Wonderful to discover this online community."
I guess you could refer to the happy people you met in your coma as an "offline community".
Sorry, just couldn't help myself. Welcome to A/N.
I think my after death experience will be a great deal like my before birth experience.

Getting Started:
Understand How You Can Help
Health care providers have the unique opportunity to provide support to immigrant patients, their families, and the community at large. Health care providers can create a welcoming space for immigrants in the clinical setting and can help patients address immigration-related health needs. They can link patients with immigration questions to reputable local and online community and legal resources. Health care providers can also identify and organize trainings on immigration resources and immigration policy in the U.S., both within their clinics and for colleagues at regional and national conferences. Outside the clinical setting, health care providers can partner with other immigrant-serving organizations to develop training and materials relevant to their patients, including family preparedness and safety planning. Finally, health care providers can serve as expert health care advisors to local, state, and national immigration advocacy groups.
Learn About Immigration and Health Care
Immigrant patients, especially those whose primary language is not English, may be reluctant to trust unfamiliar institutions, but see health care settings as a "safe space" in the community. Many immigrant patients may confide in their health care providers about their fears, questions, and concerns, and health care providers should understand how immigration status could impact their patients' rights and options. Health care providers should also be aware of the privacy protections and other rights relevant to health care institutions and the patients and providers within them. Explore resources on immigration and health care.
Find An Opportunity
Many nonprofit immigration legal service providers offer volunteer opportunities for health care providers. To find a program in your area, enter your zip code or choose your state on our national volunteer opportunities guide. You can also check out our lists of ongoing local and national projects that are currently recruiting volunteers, or look at our volunteers needed calendar for special events and short-term opportunities near you.
Learn About the U.S. Immigration System
U.S. immigration law is complex, and there is a lot of confusion about how it works. Immigration laws have many goals, including keeping families together, bringing skilled workers to the U.S., and protecting people from danger. Some laws allow people to stay for a limited time. Other laws allow people to qualify for permanent legal status. Learn more about immigration law and how the U.S. immigration system works.

It's almost time to celebrate Fred taking another turn around the sun (2 years flew by!), so I thought I'd share his adorable little birthday party from last year. We have a lot of friends with birthdays in October, so we decided to celebrate his a little late each year closer to Halloween to free up earlier weekends for other parties. I'm sure someday he'll insist on having a non-Halloween themed party closer to the actual date of his birth, but until he has an opinion about it, we're leaning way in! Who doesn't love a costume party anyway?! Here's the round-up from his last party and I'm sure I'll be repeating a lot of it this year because it was so stinking cute! Continue reading

Halloween Birthday Party!

(Sort of) Handmade Halloween…SPIDER!
While I'm more than willing to spend a lot of time and effort decorating my house for Christmas, for some reason I just can't get it together for Halloween even though I love a good haunted house. Usually we just throw a few pumpkins on the porch and then process them after the holiday for pies and soup, but this year I thought I'd try something a little more fun…as long as it was still easy, cheap and fast! I bought a fairly ugly gigantic spider on Amazon and then basically just made it look a little better with glue and paint. I love the ridiculous scale of it on the house! After we hung it, we realized it needed a little something more, so we grabbed some cobwebs from the drugstore and abracadabra, our house is home to pretty creepy monster spider! Continue reading
A Train Car Birthday Party!
It wasn't difficult to pick the theme or location for G's 4th birthday party this year because he is SOOOO into trains right now! He has to be holding some sort of toy train, train photo, train sticker or train book at all times and at the dinner table, they are allowed to sit and "watch" us eat from a short distance. He even sleeps with them the way most children would sleep with a beloved stuffed animal. It's amazing. Continue reading

Toddler Cooking Party…He's 3!
To say that George loves all things kitchen related would be a ridiculous understatement. He doesn't just like "playing" kitchen…he likes using the real stuff, carefully stirring at the stove, watching every single step and trying it out himself. He even sort of non-verbally lures new guests or friends to lift him onto the counter near the mixer so he can touch it for a while (since he knows Jeff and I won't). Obsessed would be a better word to use.
Since George is still mostly non-verbal, we had to guess what theme would be best for his birthday and "cooking" popped into my head as a fun thing for all kids to do! Here's how we pulled it off: Continue reading
Ikea Hack: Picture Ledge Book Pockets
Maybe you were like me and thought the Ikea Ribba picture ledges would make adorable bookshelves in your child's room or nursery…? Well, they are really cute, but two and half years later, when your child has A LOT of books, I promise that they will constantly fall off into a huge mess on the floor. Frankly, I started to go crazy picking them up all day long! I decided to modify our Ribbas with some white mesh to make book pockets that keep them from falling off the shelves. I love this project because it was really simple and can be a temporary fix that doesn't mar the ledges! Instructions and materials after the jump. Continue reading

Simply Wonderful Tomato Soup
There's just something about homemade tomato soup in the winter (yes, even in LA) that warms me to my toes. I was never a fan of the canned stuff growing up, but real tomato soup is the perfect accompaniment to almost anything. When my friend served us this family recipe one night last year, I was blown away by how perfect it was and I've been making it two to three times a month since that dinner! Her recipe is a little creamy, a little tangy and a little spicy. It also freezes well which has been a lifesaver during busy months. I recommend pairing it with a grilled pimento cheese sandwich or sweet corn muffins! Continue reading

Angler's Covey April 2011 Newsletter
Time's a wastin'...
Fall is approaching…
It's not too late to enjoy some great days fishing in some of our best rivers and lakes here in Colorado. But the clock is ticking…
Kokanee Salmon have begun to move out of Blue Mesa Reservoir and into the river for their annual fall spawning run. There are already pods of salmon in the Gunnison River and East River form Cooper's Ranch all the way to Roaring Judy Fish Hatchery. The word on the street is there are a lot of big kokanee in the 18 to 20 inch range this year. This Kokanee run will peak mid-September and go thru October.
The population of Kokanee out of Elevenmile Reservoir has seen a sharp decline since 2006. The DOW in a press release announced that the die-off was due to a small parasite known as gill lice (Salmincola sp.) My prediction is that Kokanee on the South Platte this year will be slim pickins and it would be best to make the trip to the Gunnison River and the Almont area.
With the Labor Day weekend just ahead this is a great time to get out and three days of some good, relatively uncrowded fishing. With the arrival of September, kids for the most part are back in school. Traditional summer vacations are over and the main waves of out-of-state visitors are gone. The summer season may be winding down but for many fly fishing adventurers the Labor Day outlook is very good.
The river fly angler might find the best conditions of the entire year. The runoff that would never end has subsided. Though river flows could still be a little above average for late August and early September, and rains might temporarily discolor the waters, they generally are clear and inviting. A veritable buffet of insects -- both aquatic and terrestrial -- is available to the fish and as if to make up for time lost during the prolonged runoff, trout are in a feeding mood.
Sale on Shorts, Shirts, Rods, Reels and more!
You can still find some great deals on Patagonia, Simms, Ex Officio, Redington, Sage and much more as we close out the summer and 2011 products that are being discontinued. We have made some special markdowns just for this Labor Day weekend.

The "ONE" has Arrived
Sage Redefines casting accuracy with the ONE Rod...
Sage Manufacturing, fly-fishing industry leader, launches the ONE™ rod series. The ONE rod is the first precision casting instrument to take advantage of Sage's groundbreaking Konnetic™ technology. The ONE offers exceptional tracking with virtually no lateral or torsional movement, resulting in astonishing casting accuracy that is unparalleled in the marketplace.
The inherent strength of Konnetic technology allows ONE rods to have a smaller diameter and 25% lighter blanks than comparable Sage rods. These attributes combine to provide augmented aerodynamic efficiency. Further innovations are the 70% lighter, low profile ferrules that help direct and carry energy through the rod without sacrificing strength, critical action and feel.
"The ONE rod becomes a true extension of the angler's arm," notes Sage Chief Rod Designer, Jerry Siem. "It offers a more fluid transmission of energy from the arm to the fly. The eye sees the cast it wants to make and is translated to the hand through the rod instantaneously."
The fast-action ONE rod family is intended for all fishing conditions thanks to a list of high-end features. A custom cork handle is fashioned in a snub-nose, half-wells grip on the 3 through 6 weights and a full-wells handle with fighting butt on the saltwater capable 6 through 10-weights. Each handle is designed to match the exact taper of the rod providing even greater sensitivity and feel. Other details include the Sage designed round eye tip-top which never pinches or binds the line, allowing the caster to mend and cast in any direction with full control. On the 3 through 6 weights, the elegant walnut insert is perfectly married with the bronze anodized aluminum reel seat. Saltwater weights feature all anodized reel seat components. The ONE Rod comes in a new Black Ice color, which has a translucent finish and is complemented by black guide wraps and bronze trim wraps. Each rod comes with a powder-coated aluminum rod tube with Sage medallion and a hand-made rod sock.
"The ONE Rod is smooth and precise with an intentionally forgiving 'sweet spot' that complements widely diverse casting styles," says Eric Gewiss, Sage's Marketing Manager. "This helps the angler make a full range of close-in and long distance casts that hit the mark with equal ease. Being able to feel exactly what the line is doing through all stages of the cast gives anglers ultimate control so they can make the micro-adjustments needed to place the fly precisely where it's wanted."
Already award winning, the ONE rod has been recognized as the "Best New Fly Rod" at EFFTEX 2011 earlier in the summer in Amsterdam. And last month it won "Best New Fly Rod" at the International Fly Tackle Dealer Show.
Angler's Covey now has a few model of the ONE rod in stock for you to test for yourself on our casting ponds. There will be available at 22 single hand models ranging from 3 through 10-weights and will be priced from $715 to $740.
About Konnetic™ Technology:
Konnetic technology, the most recent and significant evolution in fly rod innovation, uses new materials combined with pioneering manufacturing methods and processes. This technology incorporates an optimized ratio of Sage's proprietary resin to exclusive high modulus aerospace-grade carbon fiber.
The latest construction methods include Sage's Advanced Modulus Positioning System (AMPS); a process that precisely aligns and positions carbon fiber materials to exacting tolerances for the greatest blank strength delivering extremely efficient energy transfer throughout the shaft. Using Sage's High Compression Molding process, carbon fibers are compacted for optimum density and precise alignment while simultaneously fusing the 50% lighter all-carbon fiber inner core.

The Art Resort aims to bring together a range of disparate artists and works that utilise motifs and signifiers affiliated with popular conceptions of the notion of "resort". The show will examine an emerging tendency in the practice of contemporary Brisbane artists to quote or reference ideas of the resort for a variety of differing outcomes.
The artists whose works will be presented are all past and present QUT students who work across a variety of media. The works themselves are not wholly concerned with ideas about leisure but instead use the motifs related to the concept to deal with an array of themes. From the large scale wall relief work of Alex Feu'u, who deals with ideas of cultural exoticism, to the photographic work of Jemima Wyman, who humorously looks at the darker almost ridiculous depictions of a 'Disney Resort' culture, the artists represented all have complex, critical and engaging practices that lead the viewer, through Hawaiian coloured glasses, to a range of concepts. Through the seemingly superficial selection of works the art resort aims to present new ideas for curatorial practices and the viewing of shows, whereby the works selected do not all share the same themes, nor do they involve only one specific media. Instead the show aims to present a non-didactic exhibition whereby questions are raised rather than answered.
The Art Resort will consist of a variety of artists whose art practices encompass an array of media from drawing to video. The show will create opportunities for emerging artists, writers and curators. It will be my first solo curatorial venture, will involve emerging artists and will be reviewed in ARTT (a new Brisbane based on-line art zine). The execution of The Art Resort will therefore open up a collaborative dialogue between those represented in the show and those affiliated with it, such as independent writers, members of ARTT and Boxcopy Contemporary Art Space.

Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. continues to lead the way with a gain of nearly 30% since I first made mention of it. You can check out my original analysis here: Boring Is Beautiful: Marsh & McLennan Companies
Weekly Performance
The Week That Was
The last (and abbreviated) trading week of 2015 saw all but two of the indices closing lower. A December turnaround in the German market saw that country's DAX index overtake Japan's Nikkei 225 to emerge the top performer of 2015 with a strong return of +9.56%.
The Week That Was
With the exception of Japan, investors enjoyed a Santa rally this week as six of the seven indices I track posted strong gains comfortably in excess of 1.5%. London's FTSE 100 was the week's top performer followed by Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40.
The Week That Was
Investors fled stocks last week as each of the indices we track fell sharply. London's FTSE 100 was last week's worst performer with a decline of nearly 4.6% followed by the Canadian S&P/TSX composite which plunged nearly 4.3%. Falling crude prices and the increasing likelihood of a Fed rate hike were the likely reason for the market carnage.
The Week That Was
Investors piled into stocks last week as each of the indices we track recorded solid gains. Germany's DAX was the week's top performer followed by London's FTSE 100 and the Dow. France's CAC 40 advanced an impressive 2% despite the devastating terrorist attacks in Paris last Friday.

History of Montserrat
History of Montserrat. This is a brief history of this small island recently best known for volcanic activity.
Wikipedia notes, "Montserrat is a lush, mountainous island in the Caribbean Sea, located in the Leeward Islands, part of the chain of islands called the Lesser Antilles. Montserrat was given its name by Christopher Columbus on his second voyage to the New World in 1493, after a mountain of the same name located in Spain. Montserrat is often referred to as the Emerald Island of the Caribbean due both to its resemblance to coastal Ireland, and to the Irish descent of most of its early European settlers."
From the site:
The island was discovered by Columbus in 1493, who named it after Monserrado, a mountain in Spain. Despite claiming the island, the Spanish did not colonize it and English and French interest grew. Charles I granted a patent to allow colonization in 1625.
The first european colony was established in 1631 when Irish Catholics were forcibly moved to there and Antigua to prevent them from siding against English protestants on St Kitts. After Oliver Cromwell's defeat of the Irish at the Battle of Drogheda, Irish political prisoners were transferred to Montserrat. A new fort at Kinsale was built. In 1655, Cromwell himself was entertained on Montserrat. Montserrat was hit by hurricanes in 1657 and 1658.
The island was taken by the French in 1664. Restored to the British in 1668, it capitulated to the French in 1782, but was again restored in 1784.
Slavery was abolished on the island in 1834. In 1871, Montserrat became part of the Leeward Islands Colony of Great Britain. When the Leeward Islands Federation was abolished in 1956, Montserrat became a separate colony.
