MUMBAI – India's oil ministry will support Cairn Energy PLC's proposed stake sale in its Indian unit, provided the demands of state-run explorer Oil & Natural Gas Corp. Ltd. are looked into.
"The government would support the deal in principle, but some of the concerns of ONGC need to be addressed legitimately and substantially before clearing the deal," Oil Minister Jaipal Reddy told reporters Tuesday.
The minister's comments reinforce the obstacles faced by Cairn Energy in selling up to 60% of Cairn India Ltd. to London-listed mining conglomerate Vedanta Resources PLC.
Vedanta proposed acquiring 51%-60% of Cairn India in August last year for between $8.5 billion and $9.6 billion to widen its footprint in the energy sector. India's oil ministry says the deal needs its approval, while ONGC maintains it also has pre-emptive rights in the blocks held by Cairn India, which are part of the deal.
Prolonged and inconclusive discussions with government officials have put the deal in jeopardy, raised concerns about investment in India's oil sector and made investors in the companies jittery.
"I stated the position of the government. It's for them [Cairn executives] to express their view," Reddy said, adding that talks with Cairn Energy would continue.
Cairn Energy's Chief Executive Bill Gammell said the company "will not go back" to its shareholders to extend the deadline for the proposed sale beyond April 15, when asked if it will seek an extension to its previously announced deadline.
The minister and executives from Cairn, which included Cairn India's Chief Executive Rahul Dhir, were speaking after a meeting to discuss the deal, which hasn't been reached yet due to slower-than-expected government approvals.
Executives from Cairn and Vedanta have been holding a series of meetings with government officials in rapid succession this week, but are yet to reach a decision.
Shares of Cairn India closed down 1.34% at 321.2 rupees ($7) Tuesday on the Bombay Stock Exchange, compared to a 1.45% decline in the main index. Shares of Cairn Energy have also been hit due to the stalled transaction.
Cairn India holds stakes in 10 oil and gas blocks in India along with ONGC. Its key asset is the RJ-ON-90/1 oil block in Barmer in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, which produces 125,000 barrels a day, or about 17% of India's total crude output.
ONGC pays a 100% royalty to the government on oil output from these blocks and seeks to share this more evenly, before the government approves the Cairn-Vedanta transaction.
"Some of the concerns of ONGC need to be addressed legitimately and substantially before clearing the deal," Oil Minister Jaipal Reddy told reporters Tuesday.
"I stated the position of the government. It's for them [Cairn executives] to express their view," Mr. Reddy said, adding that talks with Cairn Energy CNE.LN -0.66% Cairn Energy PLC U.K.: London GBp263.56 -1.74 -0.66% Dec. 12, 2013 1:48 pm Volume : 352,550 P/E Ratio N/A Market Cap GBp1.58 Billion Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee N/A More quote details and news » would continue.
Cairn Energy is awaiting regulatory approval to sell up to 60% of Cairn India for $8.5 billion to London-listed mining conglomerate Vedanta, controlled by Indian billionaire Anil Agarwal.
The deal was proposed in August last year but hasn't closed due to slower-than-expected government approvals.
State-run explorer ONGC, which holds a stake in Cairn India's key producing asset in the northwestern state of Rajasthan and most other blocks, has maintained that it has pre-emptive rights in the blocks jointly held with Cairn and that the deal needs its consent.
ONGC is seeking to settle an issue about royalty payments on crude oil output from the assets in northwestern India before the government approves the Cairn-Vedanta transaction.

The Cup has brought a unique conundrum to the Ewing household in Laingholm.
Brothers Dylan, 28, and Malcolm, 31, are part of the boat-building effort - for opposite teams.
Dylan is with Emirates Team New Zealand, Malcolm is with Oracle.
Their father, Paul says it has made the long campaign a lot more interesting.
"It's made it $1 each way for us. It is win-win on a personal note but it will be great to see the Cup come back here.
"It would be a huge boost for the marine industry," he says.
Dylan is based in Titirangi while Malcolm moved closer to the Oracle base in Matakana.
Both brothers have been tucked away in their respective yards in San Francisco, working at making the boats go that extra bit faster.
"Boat-builders make great sailors," Mr Ewing says. "I do miss them and hopefully they can come back and get a bit of breathing space once it's all over."

Everyone in the family loved the food and the atmosphere. We will definitely go back.
I love the atmosphere, the camraderie, and the food was delicious. The owner is very warm and friendly.
Went on a busy Friday night, around 8. We chose to be seated outside and had a relatively normal wait to be served drinks and have the order taken. It took about 30 minutes to get the appetizers and about an hour to receive the dinners. I never mind waiting for food but when it isn't served hot, I mind.... More
Great food wonderful atmosphere and a really good spot to stop by for a lunch very authentic looking good place with a few older but very clean and interesting rooms, the food was top notch!
Kitty Hoynes is a relaxed pub. During the afternoon, they served typical pub food - sandwiches, fries, salads. The evenings boast live music added to the menu. Great for an afternoon or evening on the town.
About 1 mile from oncenter. Worth the walk or drive. Very nice friendly location. Good irish food large selection of drinks. Reasonably priced good food.
Good food and drinks. Good place to meet before and after a show.
The service was friendly and efficient. The beer selection is very good. The atmosphere is great and we had an enjoyable meal. My Irish Stew was delicious.
We had lunch here on a Saturday afternoon. Seeing all the positive reviews and my husband talking about his work lunches here, we had to try it. Kitty's is is charming and the staff is very friendly. I used a Four Square promotion and got a free 6oz. Guinness. I had never tried Guinness before and it was pretty tasty.... More
We love their Guinness best of all the Irish places in town. Nice folks, pub atmosphere or a quieter dining room. Food is decent, and they give you complimentary Irish Creme at the end of your meal. Catch the Irish music or a ball game on TV, or dine in comfort and quiet - your call.

Jedward change name to 'John and Edward- Jedward'
Irish pop duo Jedward have changed their name in a re-branding exercise to make them sound more grown up.
The X Factor runners up will now go by 'John and Edward- Jedward' – not so much a total change of name, but a timely reminder that the boys are no longer teenagers.
Their management has called the move a "metamorphosis" as they develop from teenage pop stars into 'mature artists'.
The re-branding follows their move last year to get rid of their signature over-sized quiffs that won them fame on the ITV talent contest (although they are pictured here last month with quiffs, but maybe not to the same horizontal-defying heights).
As one insider said: "To quote Louis Walsh all that jumping around was starting to look stupid"

After beginning the 2012 Olympic Games with a win over Serbia and Germany in straight sets, the U.S. Olympic Men's Volleyball Team is preparing to face Italy during the knockout quarterfinal round of the Olympic Games.
Held at the Earls Court in London, the match will start at 4 p.m. local time (8 a.m. PT) on Wednesday. The U.S. Team, ranked fifth in the world and defending Olympic Games champion, ended the preliminary round at the top of Pool B with 13 points and a 4-1 record. Their knockout match opponent is ranked No. 6 in the world, ended in fourth place in Pool A with eight points and a 3-2 record.
"Italy has an aggressive serve," U.S. Olympic Men's Volleyball Team Head Coach Alan Knipe said. "They have good servers that can put pressure on us. We have seen them a few times this year and the guys have a good reference point. They (Italy) will look at our videos and look at what weaknesses they can exploit and we will do the same."
Despite losing to No. 2 Russia, after a big upset with No. 1 Brazil, the Americans picked up an important point in the standings, which allowed them to clinch the pool after a victory over Tunisia.
Italy did not open the Olympics with as strong results, with a four-set loss to Poland, but bounced back for a four-set win over Argentina. However, on the final day of pool play, Italy lot to Bulgaria, dropping them to fourth place.
"We can't take (Italy) for granted," Stanley said. "They have great players who've all played in the top league in Italy. They're a young team and they've got great players. They're kind of struggling at the moment, though, I think."

Firstly, I am a big fan of this blog...it's my go to blog for cigar reviews and news...I do not get this review though...the comments refer to " notes of grilled chicken" a burn line that needs to be touched up throughout the smoke, a " lull in flavor" at one point, " inconsistant smoke flow" "tunneling" !!! combustion being an issue for the final third with repeated relights, culminating in " a funky note of damp wood or vinegar" YUCH !!!! and then a 94 rating !!! I sat back to enjoy a VR robusto in a fine cigar store in HK a couple of years ago and it was a bomb... I don't know, sometimes we get excited because of the "provenance" and the story behind the cigar which in this case is a legend...I still love the blog and make it part of my daily read...I just had to say what I thought after reading this review...
@samschica You have some valid points -- and this was one of the toughest cigars for me to score because of its history, which was so overwhelmingly positive and influential that it trumps any minor tunneling issues. Flavor wise, I actually liked it the whole way through - the funkyness that comes from Cuban tobacco is a love/hate thing, and I didn't hate a moment of this cigar.
I will say that this is unlke any regular production Vegas Robaina. Remember that they have no control as to what happens to their leaves once they leave the field, whereas with the Robaina Family cigars that they age and ferment on site, they are responsible for the entire production. There is no way to compare the two as equals.
I appreciate the time you took to leave your comment and apologize for the delay in responding to it. Hopefully you're able to visit the Robaina farm someday and experience not only this cigar for yourself, but the absolutely wonderful, almost magical world that they have created.
Patrick...thanks for the reply..Duke Ellington once said, " if it sounds good, it is good "....same with cigars...a friend once asked me what was the " best cigar " ...I told him the one he enjoys the most...sometimes we micro-analyze things to death...other times we get excited because of the story befind the cigar ( I have smoked too many cigars that did not meet expectations, especially the forbidden fruit from Cuba...your story is a great story...hope to go to Cuba and VR in the not too distant future...Samschica

Extreme Droid Jump
1,000,000 - 5,000,000 downloads
- Entertaining
- Two additional game modes
- Fun & addictive
- It can get boring after a while
Make Droid jump, fall and avoid the enemies
This classic platform game might seem a copy of the large list of similar games, but it's not really the same. It has two more game modes that differentiate it from the other simple jumping games. In the three modes you need to tilt your phone to control the Droid.
The first mode is the classic one, where you need to jump higher and grab objects.
Fall down mode is the opposite, you have to keep falling down and collecting bonuses, but it's pretty easier.
Survival mode, on the other hand, is quite different: you're not going up neither falling and you just need to tilt your phone, avoid the enemies and grab the objects while Droid jumps.
In conclusion, we could say that Extreme Droid Jump, developed by ElectricSheep, offers a new light in this type of game, by creating two additional game modes so the user can choose his favorite. Good time-passer and great entertainment; try it out.
Simple, addictive plateform game!
if you like Mega Jump, NinJump, Hype Jump, Doodle Jump or Froggy Jump, you'll love Extreme Droid Jump!
4 game modes
- classic: Help Droid to go higher and catch bonuses!
- survival: avoid blue screen of death, and catch bonuses
- falldown: Help droid to climb down! beware of the laser line on top which is appearing at some points!
-classic kidz: as classic, but bugdroid cant die! this mode is for toddlers ;)
Tilt to move, press menu to pause.

Salem hangs on to win LL championship series opener
The District I champions rallied late to knock off Rye, 8-4, on Saturday at Manchester Central Little League's Sam Harris Field and move one step closer to the state Little League championship.
The teams meet again today at 5 at Harris Field for Game 2. Game 3, if necessary, will be on Tuesday at 5:45.
"That's a real good example of our team being resilient," said Salem manager Dean Borrelli. "The kids contained their emotions and were aggressive on the bases. Hats off to them."
He came on in relief of Salem starter Jake Delaney in the second inning and shut down a rally and limited Rye to a couple of hits over the last four innings.
"He's been like that the whole tournament," Borrelli said. "It's like he's got ice in his veins. He pumps strikes in there and throws hard."
"One inning," said Rye manager Ron King. "That's what baseball is sometimes. One inning. We didn't hit like we wanted to. That's a really good team. But I don't think the score is an adequate reflection of how good a team we are."
Down 2-0, Salem grabbed its first lead with the three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Nick Robertson led off with a single to right field and Delaney drilled a 1-and-1 pitch over the wall in center field to tie it.
Mike Borrelli then reached when he was hit by a pitch. Donovan Abraham put down a sacrifice bunt and Borrelli hustled his way to third base. He scored on John Palardy's ground out to the third baseman.
Salem struck again in the bottom and got five runs in to go up 8-4 before there were any outs.
"We played a little small ball and the leadoff bunt was huge," Borrelli said. "The kids had good at-bats, fouling balls off, laying off pitches that weren't in the zone."
Rye opened the scoring with a pair of runs in the top of the second inning. Spencer Leger led off with a bunt single and Will Gerrish was hit by a pitch. The runners moved up on a passed ball and Leger then scored on Calvin Kobynski's sacrifice fly to right fed. Gerrish slid under the tag and scored on another passed ball.
Salem answered quickly.

Formal change impact analyses for emulated control software
Author: Fidge, C.
Source: International Journal on Software Tools for Technology Transfer, Volume 8, Numbers 4-5, August 2006 , pp. 321-335(15)
Publisher: Springer
Processor emulators are a software tool for allowing legacy computer programs to be executed on a modern processor. In the past emulators have been used in trivial applications such as maintenance of video games. Now, however, processor emulation is being applied to safety-critical control systems, including military avionics. These applications demand utmost guarantees of correctness, but no verification techniques exist for proving that an emulated system preserves the original system's functional and timing properties. Here we show how this can be done by combining concepts previously used for reasoning about real-time program compilation, coupled with an understanding of the new and old software architectures. In particular, we show how both the old and new systems can be given a common semantics, thus allowing their behaviours to be compared directly.Keywords: Program analysis; Software maintenance

The hotel had loss water pressure and no hot water. Waited for 3 hour to get shower before business meeting. Had to leave hotel without a shower. Front desk should of offered up some form of compensation for the inconvience.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"No hot water !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The first night of my 2 night stay was short of a nightmare. First my cable kept going out, it was not a windy night so there is no explanation for this. Next I lost my internet connection so many times I decided to take a shower and make and early night of it. Problem being .................. there was no water. I called down to the front desk to see […] if there was a magical way to turn on the shower and the young man told me there was a problem with the hot water boiler. The problem was thought to have been fixed but when the water main was turned on there was a leak. So at that time no water was going to the showers. The water came on shortly after but it was cold. So there I sat no internet, no tv and unable to take a shower. I was extremely disappointed, I felt that a 3 star hotel would have less problems. To be fair I must say the room was clean, the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was phenomenal. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Rudest GM ever. Told me to shut up and go to my room and much worse.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Not Impressed"
The hotel was clean but due to being small, when I called housekeeping to ask for an extra towel (4 people in room - 3 towels) I was told housekeeping was gone for the night and would have to go to the front desk for a towel. The walls in the room are paper thin. I heard the neighbors; who were up until 1:30 am talking. Would not go back.Genuine Expedia guest review
"new hotel; very thin walls!"
I hate to blame the clientele, but this hotel was extremely noisy--it attracts the raceway crowd; walls are paper thin and doors boom upon closing. Hotel was clean, however; surrounding neighborhood is industrial with no amenities whatsoever.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

4 Ways to Connect New Employees with Your Startup
by Guest Author on August 22, 2013
Up until this point, every aspect of your startup has been carefully handcrafted by irreplaceable you. Putting your heart and soul into everything you do has most likely paid off, as production is high and you're ready to hire additional help.
Understandably so, it can be difficult to welcome someone else into the precious little space known as your startup. However, if you want the new addition to work, you've got to strive for opportunities to connect your new employee with your startup. Here are 4 ways you can foster a lasting and meaningful introduction.
Do Lunch
If you want to connect with an employee, then you've got to connect with the person behind the fitting job description. Take some time to have a casual, getting-to-know-you conversation. Strive to understand them professionally and personally; discover their goals, what works for them and what doesn't.
Consider having this conversation off-site to reduce formality and pressure, a casual, quick lunch should work. Without getting too personal, see if you can share some of your personal hobbies, interests, and make the conversation a two-way street. The afternoon investment is worth it; the easier it is to talk as peers, the easier it will be to work together as coworkers.
Brave a Networking Event Together
While you and your new employee may feel like strangers, you do have one thing in common: the business you are representing. Immerse yourself in a bonding experience by braving a networking event together. Throughout the course of a day you two will transform into mutual alliances, protecting and promoting your brand.
An experience like this promises to be full of growth. Not only will you two align yourselves as brand representatives, but you'll get a chance to collaborate and team build in a pretty low-pressure setting. Afterwards, continue the bonding time by brainstorming new ideas inspired by the day's events and following up on potential business contacts.
Set Goals
Just because your employee is new does not mean that he/she should not have set goals. In fact, during the orientation process, it is crucial to establish benchmarks and goal lines. No employee needs to mentally prepare for direction, made effort and accomplishments- get started on day one!
From educating themselves on current projects to introducing themselves to current clients, there are plenty of small goals new employees can take on independently. It is your job to give employees the tools they need to get the job done right (i.e. background or contact info).
Then, provide them with the space needed to take on the tasks at hand and a deadline for them to follow up. Reaching small goals early on will root your new employee into your startup and will give them a confidence boost on a job well done.
Give Them Their Own Stake
Once you've bonded a bit and seen that your employee can deliver within deadline, it's time to take things up a notch. A great way to connect your employee to you and your startup is to give them their own stake in it. The details pertaining to the "who, what, where and when" are completely up to you; just be sure to assign a project or duty that is strictly their own.
By affording your employee the opportunity to take on their own niche (big or small), you're giving them the chance to make their mark. A situation in which an employee can serve as an authority and give you the updates will help foster your two-way communication. A killer confidence booster, giving employees their own stake is a great way to connect and carry on as a team.

Contact should not be blocked with a good former step-parent for no reason: Ellie
Appreciating a former step-dad and understanding his role will help form healthier non-manipulative relationships with your own children, writes Ellie.
Regarding the young woman pursuing a relationship with her step-father (September 20):
Reader #1: "As a child of a mother and step-father who divorced, I felt pressure from my mom and her family to not have a relationship with him. So I didn't, and I regret it.
"Is this teenager perhaps "using" her step-father for driving lessons? Maybe. But teenagers usually "use" most of the people around them for something.
"That doesn't mean she doesn't get something out of that relationship - some chatting, advice, a bond with a father figure that might help her in the future.
"If he was a good step-father, why should she cut him off because her mother isn't comfortable about it?
"It's very difficult when you're a teenager and two adults put you in the middle of their problems and make you choose.
"She should be able to live with her mother and then occasionally meet her step-father for lunch or driving lessons or whatever. If her mother's jealous or insecure with those meetings, then, that's her mother's shortcoming.
"I see this situation from both angles as the daughter of a twice-divorced mother and a mother of young children now.
"We shouldn't begrudge our children their healthy relationships with other adults even if we don't want to have a relationship with that adult.
"Not to mention that forbidding a teenager to do something may just result in her doing it behind her mother's back and/or resenting her mother.
"I really wish that I hadn't bowed to my mother's pressure to cut my stepfather out of my life. Their problems were between them. He was a good stepfather to me.
"I didn't deserve to lose a good male father figure in my life at a pivotal time.
"My mother used to also say that she was the one who fed and clothed me, so my allegiance should be with her. I think that's a manipulative thing to say to a young person. Of course you love your mother but that doesn't mean you should give up important relationships."
Ellie: Regarding your own story, I hope there's still an opportunity for you to contact this man and tell him what you've expressed here.
If not, appreciate who he was in your life and his role in your understanding of healthier non-manipulative relationships with your own children.
The letter I'd received was from an older teen (evidenced by the 10-year marriage, "almost 10-years" post-divorce, and her being the child from a previous union.)
Her mother's and family's opposition to her doing as she wished suggested to me, some issue with him she hadn't been told.
As I wrote, "(your mother) still has some of those hurt feelings. There may also be factors between them that she doesn't want to share, to protect you from things you don't need to know."
However, if that were not so, your feedback letter prompts me to rethink: I agree with you that young people do need good role models, and if one comes from a parent's ex, they should be allowed to continue some level of the relationship, so long as there was never any abuse or manipulation by that adult.
Reader #2: "The 10 years that her mom and step-dad were together were pretty formulating years for her.
"Unless he was abusing her and she's blocked that memory, she should be free to pursue the step-dad relationship as she sees fit."
If a former stepparent was/is a good role model, contact should NOT be blocked, without serious reasons.

Boardwalk Grill
Online Reservations
Enjoyed the outdoor area with fire pit and decorative lighting. The seafood was delicious. We went for the Thursday lobster special $15.95! It was delicious I are 2 and my friends had the red mussels, little neck clams, and tuna tartare all very good. We'll be back frequently
We went to the piazza concert Saturday and found this gem across the street. Delicious seafood eats, very nice beer list and they have skeeball! Sat down to eat dinner and noticed the boardwalk arcade games. Played skeeball and I won a free drink with a high score. As food the food, the fried oysters were perfect, mussels in red and snow crabs hit the spot. Our server Mercedes was excellent even though it was very busy there.
This was my boyfriends and I's first time at the Broadwalk and it was GREAT! Our waitress Megan was awesome, down to earth and just such a very funny social bunny! We had a great table that was under a tree away from the sun, very private. The food was good the only thing I didn't like was the mussels in white sauce, was very bland. Our overall experience was GREAT!! Would defiantly recommend this restaurant to anyone!
This was my first time visiting. It was Labor Day weekend so the city was mostly empty...and so was the restaurant. But we need to spread the word about this place. GREAT outdoor seating. Really good food. (A whole lobster, with all the trimmings for $20!!!)
If you're looking for a nice outdoor space for drinks and food, this is a great option. Nice fire pit, ping pong table, long picnic style tables and lots of seating.

U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian A. Terry (Photo courtesy CNN)
Photographer: Courtesy: CNN
Posted: 09/12/2012
NACO, AZ - The U.S. Border Patrol will hold its grand opening Tuesday for its new station in Naco.
The station will be named after Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.
Terry was mortally wounded in a December 2010 firefight with a group of armed Mexican bandits just north of the Arizona-Mexico border.
Two guns found at the scene were bought by a member of a gun smuggling ring that was being monitored in the government's botched gun smuggling probe known as Operation Fast and Furious.
The new Border Patrol station, along with an interim building, covers more than 40 acres and can accommodate more than 450 agents and support workers.

Why Shorting Stocks is the Worst Investment Strategy EVER
Written by David Fabian, March 16th, 2013
In my experience the single worst investment decision I have ever seen chosen and implemented are to short stocks, bonds or commodities. For those of you that are new to the term, being "short" the market means that you profit when stocks fall. Conversely you will lose money when stocks rise. This is also known as being "inverse" the market. You can short an individual stock or there are mutual funds and ETFs that give investors easy access to this strategy.
At my previous firm I watched time and again as short ETFs and mutual funds led to incalculable losses for client accounts. Based on my own informal analysis of these trades I calculated that 8 out of 10 times we lost money being short. In addition, the very few times that we did make money the gains were so minimal as to be almost laughable given the risk involved.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not one to buy-and-hold stocks forever or have a perma-bull mentality towards the market. In fact I believe that risks must be managed and that at certain times a VERY small short position can hedge off a large core long position or highly appreciated gain. What I am talking about here is being net short the market. i.e. cash, bonds, and short positions are your only holdings. Let me set the scene for you so that you visualize what a truly bearish mindset can do to damage your portfolio.
You wake up one day and decide that the "top is in". There is no possible way that stocks could go any higher from here based on every fact you know about the economy, politics, global events, and how much money all your friends are making on AAPL stock. So you decide to sell everything (or maybe you didn't own any long positions to begin with) and today you are going to go short.
The next few days pass and the market recedes 2-3% and you are elated with your own sense of perfect timing and intuitive decision making. But you wake up on the third day and all of a sudden stocks are up 2%. By the end of the week stocks are up 5% and you are already in the red in your newly established short position. But not to worry…there is always next week….and there is no possible way the market could go any higher from here.
Week after week the market continues to march higher….payrolls were better than expected, corporate earnings are all topping estimates, GDP is above consensus, and the Fed Chairman is doing everything he can to keep interest rates low. The list goes on and on while your hard earned money evaporates day after day.
You throw out the rules on stop losses and risk management because there is no possible way given the state of the world that the market could keep going higher from here. But it does. Your losses keep mounting and you wake up every single day hoping for a war, natural disaster, or horrific event that will tank the markets. But it never comes and you wallow in despair and negativity not because you made the wrong investment decision…but because the rest of the world just "doesn't see what I see".
One of the best mantras I have ever heard and will always remember is that "the stock market is not logical, it is psychological". What this means is that it will continue to defy belief and climb a wall of worry despite factors that would seem to be contrary to growth and expansion. When you are short the market you are fighting the entire system. You are fighting the Fed, you are fighting the banks, and you are fighting your friends and neighbors retirement accounts. It's like the equivalent of a bicycle trying to stop a moving freight train. In almost every instance you will get run over.
Wouldn't a more sound investment philosophy be to just move your portfolio to cash and wait for a better buying opportunity if you feel that the market is overbought? Then if the market does move higher the only thing that you have lost is opportunity and not real money. Another strategy would be to keep your long positions and hedge them off with a very small allocation to a short fund. That way you are still participating in the upside of your existing positions but don't have the same amount of risk on the downside (advanced investors can use options to accomplish the same thing).
These are just two strategies that may work well in a declining market environment but there are also countless others that we evaluate for our clients at Fabian Capital Management. We believe that you never want to take too much risk in your portfolio by betting all of your chips on one outcome. That is why we build balanced portfolios that incorporate active management to avoid large losses. Contact us today to learn about our latest investment strategies at 888-823-8111.

My brand new Chilcotin frame has some really nice welding but this is spoiled by the welding at the rear driveside hanger. It's just not right, it looks smeared. The initial disappointment was made infinitely worse today when I realised that the wheel won't mount straight. It leans in towards the driveside and the offset is such that the wheel is a couple of mm closer to the right side than it is to the left.
I'm gutted. I've waited so long for this bike. I feel like my dream bike bubble has just been burst

Gyllenhaal, 32, takes his turn in the hot seat to open up about his Oscar-nominated career from cult-classic Donnie Darko to his upcoming theatrical release Prisoners, in which he stars opposite Actors Studio favorite Hugh Jackman. Gyllenhaal also discusses his relationship with his famous sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and reminisces about former costars Anne Hathaway (Love & Other Drugs) and the late Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain), admitting, "It felt like losing a family member, and it still does to this day."

After filming Ian for "SWAG" (vimeo.com/14796795), I knew I wanted him to be a part of "Dag Days" in some way. He felt the same way and wanted to film another section. While it wasn't always easy getting together, with the distance and our conflicting schedules, anytime we were able to film Ian got shit done as always. Even though he wasn't able to skate the last couple months of filming (first fall), we still had more than enough to get this part done. Enjoy.

Turn You to Love

E-mail this product to a friend
Turn You to Love album by Terry Callier was released Mar 23, 2010 on the Warner Bros UK label. This is easily Terry Callier's most underrated album. Turn You to Love CD music Chalk it up to the slick arrangement, jazzy charts, and funky rhythms in the heat of the disco era, but the year after Callier missed the boat with Fire on Ice, he was back with a slicker, shinier record. Turn You to Love music CDs But, unlike its predecessor, it has no fat in the songwriting department. Turn You to Love songs Leaving Richard Evans' production behind, Callier and Don Mizell enlisted Sonny Burke to produce, arrange, and conduct the large band. Turn You to Love album Callier handled a lot of the guitar work himself but he did have help from stalwart Larry Wade, his songwriting partner, and Tommy Tedesco. Turn You to Love CD music Also in the house was Motown's Randy Dunlap -- courtesy of Smokey Robinson -- and horn heroes Ernie Watts and Fred Wesley. The song selection here is impeccable, from the hard, growling gospel funk of "Sign of the Times" to the serpentine love song "Pyramids of Love" and a pair of awesome covers: Smokey's "Still Water (Love)" and Becker and Fagen's "Do It Again." On the former, Callier reaches deep into his mellifluous tenor bag for all the soul crooning gospel he could muster, to chilling effect. On the latter, the snaky, complex rhythms are accentuated and the horn section soars above the dense, heavily layered pumped up-tempo mix. Callier gets to hang back and enunciate, slipping his down and dirty funky tip on the lyrics. But the greatest surprise on the album is Callier re-recording his classic, "Occasional Rain." With a shimmering, sparse string section accompanying his acoustic guitar, Callier sings half an octave lower than the original as ghostly bells slip through the center of the mix. Every two bars or so another instrument is added, but the gauzy texture of the mix holds throughout. The listener keeps holding her breath waiting for a string section crescendo -- given how polished these proceedings are -- to wash over her, but it never comes, thank God. The set ends with the weakest, but nonetheless very soulful track on the album, "A Mother's Love." It's sentimental, but, given how sincerely Callier delivers his lyrics, it comes off as sincere, not hackneyed. This is a gorgeous set that showcases an entirely different side of Callier than the legends note. He is every bit as fine an R&B singer as he is a folksy soul singer. The man's voice and his sincerity know no limits and this disc is a perfect testament to his genius.

The Mean Green advanced two events to this year's national championship, being held at Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon Wednesday thru Saturday.
Junior Alysha Adams became the first North Texas athlete to advance to the NCAA Championship in multiple events since 1983 (Johnny Walker) when she qualified for both the 100-meter hurdles and the 4 x 100-meter relay.
At the NCAA Preliminary Rounds in Austin, Texas, Adams took second in her quarterfinals heat in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 13.35 seconds.
The hurdles are scheduled to take place Thurs. evening at 7:55 p.m., central time.
Brittani Simmons, Missy Barnes and Brittany Blaylock will join Adams in the women's sprint relay.
The women's 4 x 100 overcame a few bad handoffs to finish fourth in their heat and collect one of the three best times outside of the automatic heat qualifiers by finishing with a time of 44.61 seconds.
In order for both the women's 4 x 100 relay and Adams to advance to the NCAA final in their events, they will have to finish in the top two of their respective heats, or have one of the next two fastest times outside of that.
The 4 x 100-meter relay will kick things off for the Mean Green Wednesday night at 6:15 p.m., central time.

Hey guys, I woke up this morning to find out that my crappy tablet that hardly worked got crappier and is not long working at all! Yay!
So yeah, I need to buy a sketchbook.. I don't have the finances to buy a new tablet anytime soon.. So if any of you kind people could find me a sketchbook that has >200 pages, is width: ~8, height: ~11 inches, and has traceable paper, that would be awesome.
As I am mainly a ps and gimp user, idk what exactly to look for in the sheets. I like to work in layers, and the book I have right now says it has 'premium smooth bright white surface' pages, whatever that means. But hey! It works, so if you guys know what that hell I'm talking about, that would be great!
Names and/or links much appreciated. Thanks a lot!

Oliver Legacy small travel trailer "lightweight, low maintenance, self contained"
The Oliver Legacy is a custom molded fiberglass travel trailer that is designed and constructed to make a lightweight, aerodynamic, fully insulated, low maintenance and self contained travel trailer.
Outside length - 17"
Outside width - 6'6"
Inside headroom - 6'1"
Dry weight - 2400 lbs
Fresh/grey/black tanks - 32/35/18 gallons
Oliver say that "The Frame is an all aluminum box tubular design. The reason for an all aluminum construction is to lighten the weight of the unit as well as provide a frame that will never rust. The overall construction of the Oliver Legacy is a Double Wall Fiberglass Core that contains Thinsulate� Acoustic Insulation. Basically, you have a completely custom molded fiberglass exterior shell, as well as a completely custom molded fiberglass interior shell. Between the two layers of fiberglass there is an insulation barrier. The custom molded exterior has been designed to direct and keep water from ever entering the shell. Every opening or attachment to the exterior has been encased in a fabricated enclosure and sealed to protect from all of the elements."
On the inside, Oliver says "you will find a beautiful and brilliant white gel coated cabin. There is no carpet to be found on the walls or even on the floor. A tiled floor comes standard in the Oliver Legacy, but an optional carpet kit is available. Above you will find a full surround of overhead storage space. These overhead cabinets have been custom molded into the inner fiberglass shell as a one piece design. This is a feature that can be greatly appreciated. There are no pop-rivets or screws used to hold the cabinets in place as they are part of the interior fiberglass mold! The seating in the cabin is also molded into the inner shell and conceals more storage space that is hidden beneath each seat. You will find the bathroom in the Oliver Legacy to be very spacious and also quite useful. The bathroom has a toilet, a shower and a custom molded sink with a vanity."

Readers' comments:
rangerone : I am a supplier to the Oliver Company who makes other products. I was told today that they are getting ready to begin production on the Oliver Trailer again
A big Fan : I hope someone makes this trailer again, just as it was. It was the best quality trailer I saw at the trade show. Nicer than the Airstream. I am not ready to buy yet, maybe two years so I hope someone will produce it as it was. For one or two people who want to off-road from time to time, I can't imagine a better way to travel in comfort.
Boler Dave : They are no longer in Business
Rattlesnake Joe : I had the pleasure of meeting the owners of Oliver Travel Trailers and they were so nice and helpful in answering my questions. The Oliver is the best of the small fiberglass travel trailers. Their price is HIGH yes but their product shines head and shoulders above the rest. I settled on a Casita 17' SD model with all the options except the propane heating furnace. The only problem with the Oliver is they didn't for see this Great Depression that we have now. Their timing was off thats all. The smaller Sports model is designed for hunters and prospectors to really get off the black top. The ground clearance must be seen to be belived. When I peeked underneith I got a smile on my face that said, "Wow this is my kind of Boondocking camping trailer'. All the things you might worry about has been designed by a genie to solve every kind of problem. If I had the money I would love to have a Oliver...but I am not a Doctor, Dentist or Lawyer. I plan to boodock in Arizona so I had to get taller tires and bigger wheels on my Casita [even with the High Axel model]. With the Oliver Sportsmans model you wouldn't have to do that. Every detail has been designed to last. You must see it too believe it. So no this isn't a Scamp, Casita, Burro or any other of the put 'em out fast and get the money kind of TT. Some day when I strike it rich and find a Gold mine out in the Arizona desert, you can bet an Oliver will be on top of my things to get. Until then my Casita 'Lil Egg will do.
Keith : As of Dec 2009, they are no longer manufacturing Oliver TTs.

Great. When he's done mowing your yard, you can come to my part of town and I can give you some lessons.
Let us start with the difference between the meaning of the words "infer" and "imply."
My windows need washing and the shrubs need trimming, white boy.
It works both ways.
The word "imply" is a better word than "infer".Thanks, but my word choice is within the limits of proper usage.
As for your house maintenance needs,please remove the bars from your windows first for easier access. I don't do shrubs.

Abu Dhabi power plant to price project bond
Dubai, July 23, 2013
Abu Dhabi's Shuweihat 2 (S2) power and water plant plans to price a project bond worth up to $825 million on Thursday, arranging banks said.
S2 is 54 per cent owned by Abu Dhabi National Energy Co (Taqa). Early price talk for the bond, which matures in 2036 was set in the 6.25 per cent area.
The deal is open to US institutional investors due to its 144a-compliant structure, and will be issued as a bond by Ruwais Power Co.
Last month, the company held a series of investor meetings ahead of a potential issue, which coincided with significant volatility in global fixed income markets.
BNP Paribas, Citigroup, HSBC Holdings , Mitsubishi UFJ Securities, National Bank of Abu Dhabi and Standard Chartered are mandated bookrunners on the transaction. - Reuters
