Five tweakers charged in connection to U-Haul truck theft!
Thank you to everyone who called in and emailed us information and tips regarding this crime. Information coming in through this website has been invaluable. Your anonymous information made a significant difference in solving this crime. Thanks also to everyone who called and emailed offering moral support, your kind words helped me make it through the darkest of times.
Special thanks to all the men and women of the Issaquah Police Department, the Kings County Sheriff's department, and the Tukwila Police Department who worked tirelessly on this case.
With the combination of excellent police work and valuable anonymous tips, a portion of my property has been recovered and some of the criminals have been charged.
Hopefully after spending some time in jail, these people will never commit such crimes again.
20 foot long U-Haul truck stolen from Issaquah Hilton Garden Inn Sunday, February 13th, 2011.
Focus now shifting to the recovery of stolen property. There is a list of missing items and a .PDF file with images of some of the stolen property. Help needed in recovering property. If anyone has any information, please call 206 422-7326 or email us at .
My story.
Hi, my name is Zack. I'm a digital computer artist, a part-time firearms instructor and a budding outdoorsman. I grew up in the age of Woodsy the Owl, who always gave a "HOOT", and I'm still haunted by that 70's public service message about pollution that featured a Native American with a tear rolling down his face. Whenever I enter a wilderness area I am grateful and it becomes my mission to leave it healthier than when I arrived, as my friends can attest; I'm always collecting other peoples litter and trash. When I'm in the city, I'm on the lookout for ways I can be helpful towards my neighbors. I'm one of those guys who stops and helps you push your car when it's stuck.
A week ago I packed everything I own into the back of a 20' long U-Haul truck. Everything. All of my life's work as a graphic artist, every picture I ever made, every computer illustration, every second of animation I ever created. Everything I owned and worked my butt off for the past 20 years to earn. Every sentimental gift I ever received. All of my clothes, shoes, my camping gear, my winter gear, my bicycle, my beloved blender and juicer, and worst of all my firearms; all of it was in the back of that truck. I'm a do it yourself kind of guy, and with that adventurous spirit, I rented that U-Haul truck and drove up to a town outside Seattle called Issaquah.
My love for nature and the outdoors has brought me here to enjoy this beautiful area. The drive took two days and I was fastidious at ensuring the safety of the truck. The truck was never left unattended, not even for one second. I slept in the cab and at pit stops someone always had an eye on the truck. I arrived in the Seattle area near the end of last week, and parked myself at the Hilton Garden Inn in town. I was relieved to survive the, at times, harrowing drive, and let my guard down and the truck unattended for an afternoon. While out finding a new place to live the U-Haul truck was stolen, along with everything I own. Everything I ever created as an artist. Everything I worked my whole life for; POOF!… GONE!
When I think of all my belonging being gone it's my firearms that I'm most sick and upset about. It makes me sick to think of them being used to commit more crime. My life's work as an artist, and personal life story, are harmless to my new neighbors. My weapons, however, are not. I feel like I just released a virus into this beautiful Seattle area, and that keeps me up at night and makes me ill.
I'm new to this town and this community. And I know most people here are honest hard working folks like myself. I also now realize there are some real rotten dirtbags walking among and preying on the good folks. I'm making an appeal to this community to help me find the felons responsible for this crime. Someone knows something. My whole life as I knew it is over and gone. I wouldn't wish these feelings of loss, anger, disgust and hopelessness on anyone. I would never want to see my neighbors be a victim of any kind of crime, let alone one so devastating as this.
I'm calling on the community, this Seattle community that I'm a new member of, to help me stop these dirtbags. Someone knows something. People talk. If a community works together we can police ourselves and prevent acts of theft and violence by helping our neighbors and watching each other's back. These criminals destroyed my life, as I knew it; help me catch them before they do it to someone else. Talk to people. Ask around. Download and print a flyer, hang it up in your local laundry mat, coffee shop, neighborhood deli, liquor store, supermarket, pawnshop, anyplace. If you work at a storage facility, how about taking a look at the surveillance tapes. This website will soon contain a list of all the stolen items and an image gallery for many of them.
I'll do anything to get my computers with all my artwork back; but I'm most terribly concerned about my self-defense and training weapons falling into the hands of criminals that may use them to commit more acts of violence or crime.
I'm offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminals responsible.
To the good folks out there, I have your back; do you have mine?

If you can't climb wide cracks, this route will seem a lot harder than 5.6! From the Uberfall, walk about 2.5 minutes down the carriage road, past the big corner and roof of Matinee, to a huge boulder just below the cliff. Take the access trail just beyond the boulder, and angle left to the cliff, on the left side of the huge boulder. Baby is the striking, widening crack directly above the access trail. P1: Climb the crack to the wide section. Place a 3-4" piece for pro, and head up into the offwidth (crux). A 5-inch piece is necessary if you want gear to protect the crux; otherwise you're at least 5-10' above gear as you commit to the wide. Continue up the face above to a big ledge with lots of loose rock and a bolt-and-chain anchor. 5.6, 80'. P2: Climb a left-facing corner and an overhang to the top. This pitch can be sandy after a recent rain. 5.6, 60'. It is possible to rappel with one rope from slings on a tree back to the top of the first pitch, then rap from the bolts and chains to the ground. Alternatively, traverse right to the bolts above City Lights, to rappel without interfering with climbers below. The Uberfall Descent is also very quick from here.
Standard Rack, plus anything wide (4-5") you have! If you don't have 5-inch gear, be prepared to run it out up the offwidth, where a fall would be ill-advised. The offwidth used to have a chockstone that one could sling for protection - the guidebooks don't reflect the change in protection ratings.
This is a classic Gunks sandbag. The offwidth is really challenging, and I'd rate this thing at 5.8 on any day. Hats off to the folks who put this thing up, 'way back when.
I agree that the first pitch can be tough through that wide-crack section. The 2nd pitch is always a fun way to finish the day.
I think originally there was supposed to be a chockstone in the offwidth section. Now that it is long gone the route is a little more stout than 5.6. I believe I used a #11 hex at the crux.
I had a blast on this climb! I think the crux on the first pitch looks more daunting than it really is. Though some big pro would make this a bit easier. I dropped a knee in for a sweet, comfortable jam and got a piece in right above the crack to pull over it. Over the first and with a BIG belay ledge - The second pitch is a must as well and it will bring back some comfort to those who did not enjoy the crux on the first with a cozy corner and finger crack.
Really scratching my head on this one. I see some people gave Baby two stars while giving Maria 4 stars. I just don't understand it. The first pitch of Maria is a throw away. The second pitch is a great corner, but so is the the second pitch of Baby. The third pitch of Marie is short but a way fun corner with a great, thoughtful, prototypical Gunks overhang to pull at the top. As good as the Maria overhang is. the overhang at the end of the second pitch of Baby is just dang good fun to pull over! I enjoy it as much if not more than the Maria overhang. Finally, on Baby, with the first pitch, you have more variety of climbing than Maria offers. The first pitch is great. I just simply don't understand all the angst some people have with the dreaded "off-width"??? Crimpper's comment put it in perfect perspective. It is a fun move and one you don't often get to experience at the Gunks. After that you have some quality climbing up the twin cracks to the GT Ledge. To offset the folks that rated Baby 2 stars and Maria 4 stars I going 4 stars here, even though I would be more comfortable rating both at three stars. Thus far in my Gunks climbing career, Madame G's is the 5.6 climb I'm holding above all others. Can I give it 5 stars? The bottom line is Baby and Maria are both terrific climbs well worth doing more than once.
Great climb. One of my favorites. Love the second pitch. The first is only hard if one never has done offwidth. Otherwise it is very easy 5.6 climbing.
The famous rock in the P1 off width that you could use for pro and a handhold has been gone for a few years now, making the crux a tad harder and neckier w/o a big cam. Please do not rap this route for descent. The ledge atop P1 is full of loose rock and there are always parties below. It's probably faster to use the downclimb at the Uberfall and it's definitely faster to use the downclimb at Radcliff.
I dont know about this route being sandbagged? I thought the whole thing was 5.6 all the way? Although I think there are a lot of sandbags in the Gunks. The O/W was not even the crux to me.
Great route. I led it in Oct '06 and the chockstone was still there in OW section at that time. That and a somewhat tipped out #4 Friend were adequate to protect the crux on that pitch.
Serious foot camming and little in-cut sidepulls in the OW made this 5.6 for me, otherwise ... harder.
Finding the correct layback and foot jamming makes it a 5.6+ (easier if you are tall). Bring a #5 camalot and stiff crack shoes (my Mythos desperately bent and slipped). My partner led P1 and off-widthed it, I led P2 - also a fun lead.
Using a #5 makes this climb "g" rated. Offwidth technique or layback, it's all about what's comfortable for you. Last year, I was all about jamming myself into the offwidth. This year, I am really enjoying the layback. This is just a very fun climb from bottom to top.
A great moderate. I have very little experience with crack climbing, let alone off-widths, so I found this part challenging. I laybacked on it, which felt a bit insecure, but worked out. A #5 is great, but a #4 can also be placed lower on the crack if you don't have any huge cams.
climbed this to practice placing my new big bros and found it more stimulating than anticipated. Can't claim to be a great offwidth climber so not sure about the rating, but I wouldn't have argued had it been rated 5.7 or 5.8. Found it spicier than Drunkards Delight - but that might say more about me and my faith in my big-bro usage than the climb. Second pitch was comparatively easy, even with rope drag no more than 5.6. Perhaps 5.5.
The posts here exaggerate the difficulty of the OW, in my opinion. It is over before it begins. By the time you are standing on the chockstone, your hands are on jugs. It's really just one move to get into the big crack. I had a #5, but this is probably unnecessary if you sling the chockstone. Super fun climb!
So good. It's a nice friendly off-width and gets you use to the concept. Second pitch is well worth doing. A black or purple c4 are useful at the top of the second pitch right at the final crux. Also I found that a #3 big-bro is too large to be any help in the off-width. By the time you have a gap large enough to fiddle with it, the crux is over.
I've done a lot of offwidths out west, and although I'm not one of those guys that's into that kind of stuff, I'm pretty comfortable on them. This offwidth was doable but tricky, especially for the grade, i was more using the face holds than any chicken wings and I couldn't really get all the way into it because the edges are offset. Anywho I strung together these two pitches for 190 feet of great "5.6". I ran out the middle and placed a high piece above the ledge and the rope drag wasn't bad at all.
Nice climb. I'm no offwidth specialist, but I still found the move to be pretty manageable, probably even a bit on the easy side for Gunks 5.6. A #4 cam worked well in the lower portion of the offwidth section (#5 would get you pro higher up). Second pitch was definitely worth doing.
Great climb, but bring a big cam if you have one... felt pg13 on the OW. There IS a chockstone part way up, maybe there used to be another?? Biggest cam I had was a Camalot #3 and the exposure was very spicy. Soon as I got back from this picked up a #5...
I second the above comment about a #4 being pretty adequate with a #5 making this very well protected. Either way, just stuff yourself into the big-ass crack(you can get a single leg-jam rest before the crux if you're a fatass like me) and you won't fall. Squirm up to the jug. This climb is probably my favorite 5.6 in the Gunks. A very direct and striking line with an awesome off-width and an awesome corner on P2 that is as good or better than say... Maria's corner. The only downside is it's popularity and loose rock on the ledges so be careful!
I think the off-width is more fun done as a layback - (also more committing) - (likely more scary). Sometimes I wish the Gunks had some good practice on off-widths, but I've found the possible off-width here is too short to be useful.
Nice offwidth. A #4 C4 works well at the bottom of the O/W, and a #5 is a perfect fit higher up. There is alot of loose gravel at the top of P2, please use the uberfall instead of rappelling.
A freind of mine fell off the offwidth with a #4 freind up as far as she could get it. She broke her ankle badly on the ledge, that you too will hit if you fall. This route should really not be climbed without a #5, or #6 cam, if you want real pro at the crux.

There are moments when I still cant believe theyre gone. Emotions swell up quickly when I see pictures from 911. Its almost like Im right back in that moment, trying to make sense of what was happening, wondering where this was going to take us, wondering if my family was safe. We can now look back and consider what 911 meant. What has it meant to you?

#3 Kupono Low |
BIO: Kupono Low returns for his seventh season with RailHawks. Commonly referred to as Mr. RailHawk by the RailHawks faithful, Low is the last remaining player from the 2007 RailHawks roster. In 2012, the 34 year old left back amassed 2,326 minutes with one assist. Low scored the RailHawks first goal in franchise history in the team's inaugural game. Low began his professional career with the California Gold in 2003 and joined the Syracuse Salty Dogs in 2004 before movingabroad to Ireland, where he played two seasons for the Sligo Rovers. On returning to the U.S., Low joined the Virginia Beach Mariners for two years before signing with the RailHawks in 2007. Low ranks in the top ten of the RailHawks record book of six different categories including appearances (1st), starts (1st), minutes (1st), points (3rd), assist (4th), and goals (6th). Low has also earned caps for the Puerto Rico national team, making his debut in January 2008. He scored his first international goal in the same month and earned three caps before the national federation changed its rules, making Low ineligible to continue representing Puerto Rico. |

Or The Return of LeChat, at least to this blog spot.
I know several people have asked me when I was going to restart the normal spot but there have been several life changing issues over the past few weeks that I won't go into. Excuse the run on… and the sentence fragment. It seems like my own 2011/12 season has been just as rocky and incoherent as the Arsenal's.
Personally, I'm waiting for the world to end. S*urs may finish top 4…
I'll let that sink in for the gooners and wannabes out there…
And now for the knife: They may even finish above the Arsenal.
I guess the only possible good thing to come out of this is Good Ol' 'Arry is doing himself no favors on the stand. If you haven't been following; allegedly Mr. Rednapp decided to take a few quid as a bonus for the Crouch deal. Not a bad thing on it's own, however putting in an "investment" account in Monaco and not reporting it on your taxes is something a little, let's just say, suspect.
Reading a few reports from the Guardian, I swear it sounds like something out of a Guy Ritchie movie. I know I'm not doing it any justice. So, as a rule I don't trust any geezer who owns a pig farm. Ol' 'Arry might be one to own a pig farm or two.
More locally, has anyone noticed the excitement around the pub lately? No, well I guess I'm the only who pays attention. We have quite a few new faces showing up in the crowd; some falling right in step and others still lingering in the periphery. It's good to have new blood, especially once they've lasted a few weekends and learn to order a pint without stuttering.
As SlainteLOSC stated, 'No one is going to bite you.'
I hope to see everyone out this weekend and to Mr. Suarez…. no biting

6 Jun 2009, 0056 hrs IST, Joji Thomas Philip, ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: State-owned BSNL on Friday issued fresh tenders to run its WiMax operations, even as it tightened the eligibility criteria and introduced a slew of additional safe-guards in the wake of the telco being forced to abort its previous tender in light of dubious operators making it to the final shortlist.
"We have issued fresh tenders for companies to run our WiMax services across 16 circles on a revenue share franchisee basis. This time around, only original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and system integrators can bid. We are confident that shell or paper companies will not be eligible to bid," BSNL's chairman and managing director Kuldeep Goyal told ET.
According to Mr Goyal, the telco was looking at global OEMs, such as Ericsson and Cisco, to bid for its WiMax tenders. The logic: OEMs have the technical capabilities to launch and operate such networks especially since they manufacture the same. "We are also looking at system integrators, such as IT companies, to run the operations. All bidders must have a minimum turnover of Rs 100 crore each for the last two years," Mr Goyal added. In fact, the tender documents will be issued only after proof of turnover is shown.
ET had first reported on June 3 that BSNL would seek fresh bids for franchisees across the country to roll out technology that allows users the wireless access to high-speed internet and other data applications over a large area. BSNL expects WiMax to generate multi-billion dollar revenues over the next 10 years.
The telco had cancelled the earlier tender after its own investigations revealed that five of the six shortlisted companies — WiExpert Communications, SV Telecom Systems, Digitelco Communications, Spectrus Communications and Technotial Infoways — were acting as 'fronts' for certain individuals. It was found that these companies shared the same corporate details, notaries, auditors and dates of incorporation, and even their last annual general body meeting was shown to be held on the same day. BSNL had also come under pressure from its labour unions to scrap the tender following reports of wide-scale corruption in the methodologies adopted to shortlist successful bidders.
Companies, which want to participate in the new tender, have been given a deadline till August 4, 2009, to submit their bids. A host of companies, which were mysteriously disqualified from the earlier tender, are expected to place fresh bids — these include Soma Networks, Cisco-backed Terracom, Unwire India and Welcomm Communications, which has a tie-up Huawei and Aricent.
BSNL already has a tie-up with US-headquartered Soma Networks, which runs WiMax services for the PSU in the circles of Gujarat, Maharashtra (including Goa) and Andhra Pradesh. The deal with Soma has also raised concerns considering that BSNL had appointed this franchisee without going through a bidding process.
Besides, the WiMax forum has also pointed out that Soma Networks was deploying mobile WiMax in FDD format, a technology standard that is not recognised by the forum globally.

FAFSA forms now available for college-bound students
Early application can increase amount of aid received
DES MOINES — For college-bound students and their parents, January is more than the start of the New Year; it also marks the availability of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for the 2013-2014 academic year. The FAFSA is a standardized application used to determine eligibility for federal, state, and in some cases, institutional financial aid.
System updates and enhancements have helped make filing the FAFSA easier for students and families.
"We encourage students and parents to complete the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.gov because the help features and built-in edits, which reduce applicant error, simply aren't an option when completing the paper FAFSA," explained Karen Misjak, Executive Director of the Iowa College Student Aid Commission (Iowa College Aid). "With all of the recent enhancements to the online form, it only takes about 30 minutes to complete."

Of all the classic children's books, Miroslav Sasek's ($12) hardcover treats are my favorite.
The practically antique texts have vintage illustrations adding some art deco to baby's library.
Aside from teaching your lil one about the ABC's, these books actually divulge loads of rich information about each locale.
This is San Francisco tells the tale of the earthquake ravaged city and its touristy charm while This is New York rattles on about the architecture of the immigrant city. Copious artwork and advanced literature make these books the kind tots can be entertained by for ages.

I (accidentally) picked up a large wood lathe at an auction a few months back. I bid on a drill press and did not know that it was coupled with a second lot that had the lathe.
I would like to know if there is any use for it in the wooden boat community. Its a unique tool built in-house at the paper mill that was being auctioned off and I would rather not scrap it. It has a 10' I-beam bed, a couple tool rests, and is belt driven by a ~7hp 3-phase motor. Personally I think the motor is a bit overkill, just one the mill had on hand when they built it.
Any info on possible usefulness would be great. I have pics if that would be helpful, I'd just need to resize them.

Rent a Near North Side apartment and you'll be living among the high and mighty—we're talking both people and buildings! This is the part of Chicago just above the Loop that collects some of the city's most affluent areas. From the Gold Coast to Goose Island, the Near North Side is a primarily a ritzy ride along a well-trod tourist trail. The Near North Side also includes Streeterville, Old Town, and River North.
The first known permanent settlement in "Eschecagou" was on the Near North Side. Pioneer Court marks that location. In 1885, the ultra rich Potter Palmer built a castle on the Gold Coast. Now, Chicagoans come here to stroll among the skyscrapers, ride the Ferris wheel on Navy Pier, and to enjoy their swank Chicago apartments.
Shopping and dining on the Near North Side is all about the bling. You'll find upscale boutiques and shops like Chanel and Rolex along the Magnificent Mile. You can also get yourself a Lamborghini in the Gold Coast neighborhood. Don't forget the Gallery District in River North, too. If you're looking for something less flashy, try the Water Tower Place shopping center.
You can eat at casual-chic theme restaurants, check out clubby bars, and enjoy the movie theaters on the Near North Side. This neighborhood is also where you'll find the world famous Second City comedy troupe. There are a few small parks on the Near North Side, as well as the Lakefront Trail.
This is one of Chicago's priciest areas. Expect to pay around $2,578 for a two-bedroom. The Near North Side is just above the Loop, so commuting from here is quick and easy. The 'L' Brown, Red, and Purple lines all run through the neighborhood. You'll find plenty of buses on the Near North Side as well.
The Near North Side falls within four Chicago City Council wards—the 27th, the 32nd, the 42nd, and the 43rd. Within the area, you'll find the Near North and Water Works branches of the Chicago Public Library. Northwestern Memorial Hospital is in Streeterville. There are two United States Post Offices on the Near North Side.
Zip codes serving Near North Side are 60610, 60611, 60642, and 60654.

Recipe by Carnivore
"For some reason, the dill gives this brunch dish a slightly smoky flavor."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 teaspoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons half-and-half cream
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon bacon drippings
1 1/2 tablespoons red bell pepper, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped ham (optional)
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped sweet onion
I used reduced fat mayonnaise and fat free evaporate milk. Though the kids didn't like it, I sure did. What they didn't eat, I finished. The mayonnaise and the evaporated milk made these eggs wonderfully fluffy and the mayonnaise gave it the slightest bit of tang. The dill weed was a nice touch--I would have never thought to add it to eggs but it works.
This was pretty good and a something a little different for breakfast. I cut this down to one serving and it wasn't as "smoky" as I would have liked but overall, pretty good. I never used mayo in eggs before but it did make the eggs fluffy. I cut back on the garlic powder and added some cracked black pepper. I put this inside a tortilla along with some bacon and cheddar cheese for a nice breakfast wrap.
5 Ratings
Oh, YUM!!!!! These eggs were DELICIOUS! I scaled the recipe back to just feed myself, but I have to admit, I didn't really measure all of the ingredients, more eye-balled them to taste. I did use the dried dill, but I wanna try them with my garden fresh dill next time. I think between the bacon drippings and the dill they did give the eggs a very slight smoky flavor, and the mayo and 1/2 & 1/2 gave a wonderful texture. All of the ingredients really paired well together. This really hit the spot for me this morning! I will be making this again! Thanks for sharing. :)
Followed the recipe exactly. All I tasted was the garlic. My husband wouldn't even finish this. Texture was kind of grainy as well. I won't make this again.
This was just okay. We didn't think it was worth all the work that went into it.

Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund (VWINX), A Fund For Everyone 15 comments
Though I am known as recommending individual stocks as investments, I have been asked by my family, friends, and readers which mutual fund I would recommend for people who simply are too afraid to invest in individual securities and after studying plenty of different mutual funds, I think I have a good candidate. When I first began this journey, I had to get my "growth stock" way of thinking out of my mind, I mean I was trying to find an investment vehicle that even my sister (if you knew her you would understand) would not get nervous about. I also needed it to be highly rated by Morningstar, low in cost, and performance comparable to the S&P 500 over a long period of time. The fund that I have chosen is the Wellesley Income Fund (VWINX) from Vanguard.
The Fund Profile
According to Vanguard, The Wellesley Income fund has been around for 40 years and is considered a conservative balanced fund that typically invest in both stocks and investment-grade bonds. The fund is unique in its allocation: one-third to stocks and two-thirds to bonds. The fund is a no-load fund with a yield of around 2.3%. and an expense ratio of .25%. The Wellesley Income Fund also has a five-star rating from Morningstar.
The Performance
The Wellesley Income fund has had a total return of over 35% (dividends reinvested) over the last 5 years, this easily surpassed the total return of the S&P 500 of about 6% (dividends reinvested). The fund also managed to accomplish this with less volatility than the Index. I have also attached a chart showing the monthly percentage change over the last ten years (dividends reinvested) comparing The Wellesley Income Fund (VWINX) to both the S&P 500 (SPY) and the bellwether Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). The total return of The Wellesley Income Fund over the last ten years is around 96% with dividends reinvested which is slightly higher than the S&P 500 which returned about 93% and trumps the return of 70% for Johnson & Johnson. Statistics and descriptions form various sources including Yahoo!, MSN, Low-Risk Investing and Stock Rover.
Chart Courtesy of Barchart
It is rare to find mutual funds that can consistently beat the major market indexes, but to find a conservative balanced fund that can manage to do it is nothing short of a miracle in my opinion. The Wellesley Income Fund from Vanguard is the one fund that I can now recommend to long-term investors both new and old, with its low costs, market beating performance, and minimal volatility; it is truly a fund for everyone.

Vanguard Wellesley Income Fund (VWINX) is a great fund from what I have seen, it has a composition of about 35-40% stocks with better dividends and 60-65% in bonds. I believe it is great because, it does not deviate up/down way too much from it's steady path to rise in value. I believe that one can put money in it and sleep at night without worrying.
There is also Vanguard's Wellington fund, that has a composition of about 60-70% stocks and 30-40% in bonds, it is also a very good fund. Both are core funds, with little expense ratios.
Wellesley fund typically had a yield of around 4% in the long run, but recently it's yield has been around 2.5%, perhaps due to low interest rate climate. Retirees or income seeking investors with some growth can park in this fund and collect around 4% yield to live of (this is inline with 4% withdrawal rate from your portfolio that is advised by many to sustain retirement almost forever without exhausting balance).
I hold both funds.
Good find. J.A. Saglimbeni. -
Anonymous, glad you enjoyed the article...I am really not a big time mutual fund buyer (except in my 401k), but I was asked by a friend of mine who was certainly not a individual stock investor to help her find something that she would not lose sleep...and this is what I recommended. I will say that if people are scared of individual securities (which I completely understand if they are) then they should look in diversifying among several funds or ETF's (low-cost)...maybe a growth fund, a balanced fund (VWINX), a bond fund, a resource or commodities type fund and a REIT fund....they should try to re-balance it every time each Asset increases to much...
Thanks for the comment,
Joe -
Well, they will probably get hit a bit, but I am sure there will be a slight asset allocation change within the funds, and don't forget there is always another recession every 7 or so years...meaning there will be jumps back into bonds...lol. Honestly Anonymous, I would not worry about it if you are a long-term investor...Good luck.
Joe -
Regarding bond bubble issues:
Right now VWINX has a bond duration of about 6 years. A rule of thumb is that for every 1% increase in interest rates a bond fund will drop by the duration times 1%. That would be 6% for every 1% multiplied by about 60% for a net of -3.6 % for the first 1%. Meanwhile the fund has about a 3% yield and the stocks may rise at the same time if the economy is getting stronger.
At this point in time most experts believe that we are in a somewhat sustained period of low interest rates. The six year duration is longer than I prefer but the VWINX management has a track record of making savvy decisions and will probably make timely decisions as interest rates change going forward.
In my case I have about 15% of my IRA in VWINX along with PTTRX and other bond-holding funds in order attempt a stock/bond/cash ratio optimization. I also have individual stocks and other types of funds including ETF's.
I generally agree with the author regarding this fund. This fund has been favored by the move to record low interest rates. Interest rate changes going forward could amount to strong headwinds for the fund. However, given the management track record, I feel comfortable with it being one of my big holdings. -
There are treasury bonds in the portfolio that go much longer than 6 years in duration, with very low yields. Few months ago bond prices were falling, and yields were rising, portfolio showed losses in principal, these were treasuries with real long duration.
This fund has been managed very well, but they are required to carry around 40% bonds, how will they deal with that requirement, especially if there is a requirement to carry treasuries when rates are rising and treasuries are falling. -
That is correct. The 6 year duration is a weighted average that includes short and intermediate bonds and some in the 20 to more than 30 year range. The best way I know to model the fund in the short term is based on the weighted average but you are right in the sense that individual securities with the long durations are very interest rate sensitive. The longer term depends on an ability to optimize the tradeoff between yield and interest rate sensitivity for the portfolio as a whole. They have a good track record but Vanguard's choice in weighted average duration for an intermediate fund is 6 years which appears to be longer than PIMCO.
Continued thanks for all the replies, I will say this about interest rates, I think we are probably going to continue being in a relatively low interest rate cycle for some time and when the rates rise they will probably increase rather slowly, but again I think that this fund is a good addition to a conservative portfolio that may include S&P or Total Stock market index funds. Continued success!
Joe -
As an update regarding interest rates - there was an April 10 article which had this to say regarding Vanguard Wellsley bonds:
"Keogh said his challenge would be to cut the fund's sensitivity to interest rates when they begin to climb. He would do so mainly by adjusting the duration, a measure of how much a change in rates will impact prices, of the bonds that he holds, Keogh said. Based on its current holdings, the fund would fall 0.6 percent were rates to rise 25 basis points, according to an analysis of portfolio data compiled by Bloomberg."
Interestingly, when rates do rise, Bill Gross seemed to think they would rise about 25 basis points in the first year or so (see below). Of course no one knows for certain.
http://goo.gl/o2U05 -
That's a good article about Wellesley fund. Since stocks have been rising, this fund is lagging, due to bond prices falling. When compared with Wellington, Wellesley (6.66%) has gained close to half as much as Wellington (12.01%).
When rates rise, it will affect stocks too, may be not as much as bonds.
If you look at long term returns on this fund, after a rare negative year(s), the following year it gains big.
"Wiener, the newsletter editor, said in the next five years, Vanguard Wellington, with its greater allocation to stocks, is a better bet than Vanguard Wellesley."
I wonder if either moving from Wellesley to Wellington or any new contributions to Wellington instead of Wellesley is a good idea. -
I personally have a 3:1 ratio of stocks to bonds in my IRA. This is by design because I think that asset prices (e.g., stocks) may keep appreciating during the days of QE and I follow the Benjamin Graham 75/25 rule which means I don't let one asset class exceed 75%. I am watching the situation unfold and may change allocations if things change.
The Wellsley fund is factored into that overall ratio along with shorter duration bond funds. -
Someone mentioned that this fund is "required to hold bonds" and then acted as if this meant they were "required to hold Treasuries", and decried the risk in long-term low-yield Treasuries. Note that Treasuries are NOT the whole bond market, far from it. The usual way to protect yourself from rising rates is to move to shorter-term bonds, especially lower-rated A or BBB corporates (since lower-rated corporates fall less if the economy is picking up steam). This covers the "required to hold bonds" part--it doesn't mean "required to hold Treasuries".
Just so nice when the Master Stocks surprises us all. Long the great $MA with my cousin..... 1 day ago

BakFlip hard folding tonneau covers make it easy for you to use your truck the way you need to. When not in use, BakFlip tonneau covers can be folded away to give you full access to your truck when you need it. When you need the unsurpassed protection of a BakFlip cover, it folds down easily and securely! With its patented flush-mount design, the BakFlip tonneau cover can be used even if your truck features racks, rails and tie-downs. Whether you make frequent trips to the hardware store, have a 5th wheel, or simply need full access to your truck bed from time to time, the BakFlip tonneau cover offers an attractive, functional solution for all season protection!
RollBak retractable tonneau covers have been designed to last even longer than your truck! The RollBak is an incredibly strong, all aluminum retractable tonneau cover that opens and closes effortlessly, and can also be locked for security. With incremental stopping positions, Teflon guided rails, a baked on powder coated finish and design superior to any other retractable tonneau cover, the Rollbak tonneau cover can handle over 400 lbs of weight on top of it. It is backed by a solid, top to bottom 3 year warranty, so there is no reason not to add the protection and flexibility that the RollBak cover offers..
Pickup trucks have come a long way, and have evolved beyond their strictly-utility beginnings. However, no matter how you use your truck, whether its for a trip to the mall or to the lumberyard, the fact remains that above all else, the key feature of a pickup truck is the bed. Thats why it is so important to take care of the bed and protect it from wear and tear and exposure to the elements. At BAK Industries, we have developed a line of tonneau cover products that help keep your truck functional and beautiful.
Because everyone uses their truck differently, there is no single right solution. Thats why BAK Industries offers the BAKFlip, the TiltBAK and the RollBAK. Each is designed for a different need, but they all share the hallmarks of BAK Industries products: durability, reliability and quality.
There are many reasons why people choose tonneau covers for their trucks. Those in harsh-weather areas may want to protect the bed from extreme conditions. Others might be looking for a way to protect their cargo. Or perhaps its for improved aerodynamics. Whatever the reason, what matters most is that you choose a tonneau cover that can handle whatever you throw it at. If strength and durability are what youre after, BAKLiner tonneau covers are a natural choice.
One of the challenges many truck owners face when picking a cover is the difficulty in finding one that meets their needs. For instance, a hard cover can offer excellent durability and security, but they can also limit the utility of your bed. Soft covers, on the other hand, are flexible and easy to use, but offer minimal protection. Tonneau covers from BAKFlip offer the best of both worlds, giving you the strength and security of a hard cover with the convenience and ease of access of a soft cover.
Of course, while many of the reasons to add a tonneau cover are practical, theres no denying the aesthetic appeal of a well-designed cover. Not only do tonneau covers keep your truck looking like new for a longer time, they can enhance the overall appearance of your vehicle. If you take pride in your vehicle appearance (and who doesnt?), a tonneau cover is a sensible measure to protect your investment.

The "Not Guilty" verdict was read close to 10pm on Saturday night. Immediately, social media became the outlet to express emotion about the unfair ruling and even though this case is as simple to some as black and white, a lot of White people were equally outraged.
Popular actors, musicians, hosts and other influential people didn't shy away from the race factor or how heart-wrenching the decision and tragedy is.

We work with parallelizing Java and most of what we do is using JavaParty (http://www.ipd.uka.de/JavaParty/). It is fairly simple to use, but is an extension to the Java language and needs its own special compiler. I have also use RMI (comes with Java) to do this. This approach is a bit more complicated, but is possible. There is Java_MPI, but I've never used it. Other things to look at would be Jini and JavaSpaces (http://www.jini.org). They are built on top of RMI (or similar things) and would make it a bit easier. Henry, Kevin A ATSS Sverdrup Technology, Inc. Aberdeen Test Support Services PO Box 567 APG, MD 21005 Email: kevin.henry at atc.army.mil Phone: 410-278-0692 -----Original Message----- From: beowulf-bounces at beowulf.org [mailto:beowulf-bounces at beowulf.org] On Behalf Of Darin Kalisak Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 6:03 PM To: beowulf at beowulf.org Subject: [Beowulf] (no subject) Greetings. I have a couple of questions about making more use of the underutilized cluster my employer owns. First, we have a Java application that we have run in the past on the cluster using PBS. We now have fewer runs to make, but some of them are becoming long. I found a couple of old threads about MPI in java, but nothing that looked recent. I also have not found much of use by doing web searches. Has anyone here used Java for parallel (cluster) applications? If so, am I wrong in having the feeling that there still really isn't a clear, "official" implementation to use? I really don't have the experience (or time) to hack at different implementations to make them work for me, but if someone knows of an approach that works well, I'd love to investigate it. (To forestall discussion about why it should or shouldn't be in Java to begin with, I'll just note that that was not - and is not - my decision, and that neither the resources nor the will to change it to another language exists at this time. I'm just looking for ways to improve performance on some code we have that is going to be in Java for the forseeable future. It is, however, very parallelizeable code, and it kills me not to be able to migrate it to the cluster.) Second, I'm very interested in knowing of any open source cluster projects looking for programmers to contribute in some way. I'm not any kind of expert at this, but I never will be if I don't find some code to work on! Again, I did a nominal web search, but didn't come up with much. Thanks! _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf

So obviously, I'm not an authoring group, but I'd like to recommend a band to any authoring group willing to pursue them. That band is Jimmie's Chicken Shack.
I don't know if anyone's pursued them yet, but Jimmie's Chicken Shack was kinda big in the Late 90s/Early 2000s and have a reputation of playing any gig that pays, so they could be a pretty open to RBN. Their biggest hits are High and Do Right (both had playtime on MTV) but they have other great tracks like "Trash" or "Let's Get Flat."
If a one hit wonder band like Stroke 9 can get songs in RBN, Jimmie's Chicken Shack totally can. Like I said before, I'm not an authoring group, I'm just throwing this suggestion out there to more ambitious parties. But in Maryland, Jimmie's Chicken Shack has a rep of playing any gig that will pay, so they're probably willing to do RBN. At least get Do Right, that song's awesome!

shoot I didn't make the cut bruther. O well ha ha dude. Power to the players bruther.
Henry, a while back I mailed you a RB tee shirt that I personally designed for friends and family, along with a letter of how much RB has meant to me and the impact it has had on my life. If you are interested in using it, I can edit it to fit more along the lines of what you might need. If you never received it, I can send you a copy. If it doesn't fit what you're lookiing for, that's ok too. My feelings won't be hurt.

This will be difficult as I have to admit many faults in myself. I got into RockBand in between RB1 and RB2. I had just gotten a PS3 and had picked up GH:WT because they had some Tool songs. (Tool, at the time, was my favorite band). My roommate, however, had picked up RB2 and I saw how much better the DLC was for RB2 so that became my main gain. I soon saw myself buying RB2 DLC in bunches, while GH:WT got no attention. I was soon a RB fanatic.
Time went on and I kept buying RB DLC. Life was going well and everything was good. Then reality set in. I had a good job, had bought a house, and everything was good. But that "goodness" doesn't last forever. I started hanging out with the wrong crowd and developed a substance abuse problem. I never thought it was a real problem, but reality does a good job of hitting you upside the head.
I got arrested. It was my own fault and nobody else's. I thought I was above that. I wound up in jail. I was charged with possession of a controlled substance. I can blame nobody but myself. Still, RB helped me through it. To this day, one full year since I touched that stuff, I have been clean. No matter what has happened, RB has been there. I have played countless songs which have reminded me of those drug infested times, but I have remained clean.
Throughout all the bad times, RB has been there for me. When I was scared that I'd spend a good part of my life in prison, I knew that if I changed my ways RB would be there. Since that bad time happened, I have been clean. I have not given in to my bad habits even though the lines of it had been spread before me. Was it difficult? Yes, it was more difficult than anything in my life, but I have beaten it. I have beaten an addiction that could have killed me.
The entire time I was having trouble, RB was there. I could always play a song that would remind me of what the good things in life were. To this day, I have had cravings for what hurt me in life. But when these cravings come, I play Rock Band and things are better. I'm happy being clean. I feel better about everything and can smile when I wake up.
The time since I've had those addiction problems has been difficult. I've been VERY suicidal at times, yet I know it was only my fault. Still, I know that if it weren't for RB I might not be here today. Whenever a vicious addiction pull hits me, I play RB and feel so much better.
Thank you Harmonix. If it wasn't for RB and all the songs I can play at this time, I might not be here right now. Drug addiction is not fun. For the first few years it is amazing, but during that time you have no idea how much trouble it's causing you. I am now happily clean and don't want any more of it. Yes, I have come across it since my cessation of its use, but I have yet to touch it in over a year.
If RB didn't exist, I don't know where I'd be. It's sad knowing that it's all coming to an end, but for those who work at Harmonix, you have saved at least one life. I thank you.
Warmest Regards,
Bands We Need In RB!

Pushing 50 and still rockin' like a teen, only now I can afford it and it takes longer to recover.
No worries about being late! These are all soft deadlines. We won't start rolling these out until April and will continue them for as long as people are willing to write them. If people submit stuff in June we'll post in June. I just wanted to kick things off now, pre 4/2, to make sure people were thinking of it with an eye to the future of web content.

A drugs courier who was caught with almost £100,000 worth of heroin by a sniffer dog named Rebus has been jailed for more than three years.
The sharp-nosed dog, named after Ian Rankin's fictional Edinburgh detective, picked up the scent on 38-year-old Sean McEllin, 38, at Aberdeen station in September 2010.
The father-of-two tried to avoid passing by the animal, but Rebus's handlers approached him after noticing him acting suspiciously. He was found to be carrying drugs worth £99,000.
On Friday, at the High Court in Glasgow, McEllin was jailed for 40 months after pleading guilty to being involved in the supply of heroin.
Prosecutor Andrew Brown QC told the court that McEllin, from Liverpool, arrived at Aberdeen station on a train from Glasgow at 6.13pm.
Mr Brown added: "He was seen to be alone and appeared extremely nervous. As the accused walked across the station concourse he was seen to pay particular attention to police dog Rebus and his handler."
"Officers present noted the accused's behaviour and considered that he was acting suspiciously and accordingly approached the accused and spoke with him.
"The accused's hands were seen to be physically shaking and he appeared agitated."
McEllin, who was in possession of two carrier bags at that time, was cautioned by police and asked if he was in possession of controlled drugs.
He replied: "Someone asked me to bring something up but I don't know what it is."

Gerald ^F. Burns, sophomore premedical student at Loyola university, $1000. ROBERT WEI^AECHER, sophomcTe^n^uIsiana Sfate university medical school, $230. Dr. Samuel B. Nadler, professor of clinical medicine at Tulane medical school, chief investigator in the Touro Infirmary biochemistry research laboratories, senior physician at Touro, $7877.50.' Dr. Robert F. Ryan, assistant professor of surgery at Tulane medical school, $2673. Dr. Jose ^^ri2^520^e-s» *n" structoF Tfi^noBsTenic^ and gynecology at LSU medical school, $2993.46. Dr. W. M. Reams Jr., assistant professor of zoology at LSU medical school, $1518.50. Dr. Joseph C. Arcos, associate professor of medicine and biochemistry at Tulane medical school, $6059.70. DR. PIZZOLATO'S research project involves giving a new drug, flouorouracil, to rats with cirrhosis and cancer to observe if there are any beneficial effects. If results are encouraging, the drug will be tried on patients with primary cancer of the liver. Dr. Shull will use chemical compounds to produce cancer of the liver in rats, arid studies will be carried out in an attempt to discover the changes in cellular biology and chemistry that preceed the actual appearance of the cancer. Dr. Skelton will attempt to develop a method of producing cancer of the adrenal glands under controlled coii^ ditions, and to study characteristics of cells as they become cancerous, and at the same time see if there is a change in the nature and/or amount of hormones produced by these cells. Dr. Ryan will study the con> bined effects of cholcimide and nitrogen mustard on a specific type of tumor. DR. TORRES will evaluate the sensitization response and radiation response of patients with cancer of the cervix. Dr. Reams will attempt to discover what becomes of potential pigment cells found in a strain of mice throughout much of the connective tissues. Since only a small number of the cells ultimately produce pigment granules, Dr. Reams will attempt to find out whether they actually become connective tissue cells, or whether they remain as latent pig- DR. KREMENTZ will attempt to discover if, under carefully controlled experimental conditions, the increased use of oxygen potentiates the effect of cancericidal drugs on transplanted tumors in animals. Dr. Thurman's project will involve studies of various family groups in this geographical area that are known to have unusual blood patterns. He will investigate the actual occurrence of malignant diseases in family groups that have these unusual patterns in several members of the family, and the possible causes for the decreased frequency of cancer in these people. Dr. Stuckey's project is concerned with the production of blood cells by the bone marrow of patients with cancer who are treated with X-irradiation. He will evaluate the bone marrow function of individuals with cancer before and after treatment. Dr. Reemtsma will work on ment cells which may later appear as a tumor or melanoma. Dr. Arcos, working with Dr. Mary F. Argus, will attempt a new method of administering drugs to patients with cancer of the lungs. The method allows a higher concentration of the drug to reach the area of the tumor than can be accomplished when the drug is taken by mouth or administered intravenously. * # * DR. HOLiVIQUIST will evaluate the effects of several drugs on a malignant growth of white blood cells in the mouse, and the development of resistance to the drugs by tumor cells. An attempt will be made to evaluate the effect of this type tumor on cells of the body concerned with defense against infection. Dr. Guidry will investigate the chemical compounds to which the female sex hormones are changed by the body tissues. These hormones, and the compounds to which they are changed, will be further studied in an attempt to learn the mechanism by which they control various tissue grov^ths and processes. Dr. Nadler will investigate the mode of action of certain antitumor agents with specific reference to the antimetabo-lites thioquanine and thioade-nine. to discover what changes are produced by cancer-causing substances at the level of the molecule, the tiny building blocks which make up living cells. Weilbaecher will attempt to further subfractionate an enzyme found in the blood, in abnormal amounts in certain bone diseases. Burns will study the role that the lymphatic vessels of the gall bladder play in the concentration of bile in the gallbladder.

Carbon Footprint
The carbon footprint calculation for the 2010-2011 fiscal year has been postponed for the following two reasons:
(a) Willamette University has hired the consulting firm Ecofys for input on carbon reduction and measurement. Once the work of Ecofys is complete, their suggestions will be incorporated in the calculation of the carbon footprint.
(b) Clean Air Cool Planet is planning on introducing a new online Campus Carbon Calculator in the fall of 2012 that will be used in place of the previous spreadsheet calculator.

Ortofon e-Q5
" This "moving armature" descendant of the Ortofon e-Q7 makes no sacrifices in terms of quality, despite being introduced at a more affordable price point. The introduction of a new cord and strain relief system help tame microphonics and make the model easy to wear both down and over the ear. The all-aluminum housing is large and may not fit all ears, but the design is simple and..." --Dekimasu
Ortofon e-Q7 Ear Canal Headphone
" Prior to purchasing these, my primary concern is to have a proper alternative for my ESW9 which have better isolation to be used for listening to my ballad tunes on the road. While I don't have any issues with louder tracks, with more subtle ones, my ESW9 aren't up to the task, and so my search began.
