Merry Christmas!
We awoke this morning to this jaw-dropping pile of presents. Not that they all appeared overnight, oh no! The boxes had been trickling in all December and had been secreted away in vehicles for storage. We brought them on board at last on Christmas Eve and everyone immediately insisted that the pile was blog-worthy.
So this Bloggable Christmas Moment was brought to you by Hal, Marianna and Veronica. Oh, and me, the typist. ;)
The fun begins...
and continues...
'till we are left...
with wonderful Christmas Memories!
On this beautiful Christmas Eve we attended Mass at Saint Mary's, Star of the Sea in Key West.
Merry Christmas!
|Our Faith
Happy Birthday to the most fearsome Pirate Lass in the Keys!
Woo-Hoo! Sailblogs is back up from days of maintenance! Here's hoping it actually posts and doesn't send me off to error land again...
The snowbirds have arrived bringing their northern illnesses with them. First Veronica was down with a cold, then Marianna had her turn. 2 girls at the bar were out as well so I filled in - hurray for overtime!
Tropical Storm Olga, or the leftovers anyway, bashed into that front that has been rampaging across the mainland. We clocked 46 knots on the boat yesterday, all from abeam so we rocked and rocked and rocked and tipped things like guitars over the fiddled shelves but the Christmas Tree stayed perfectly upright.
Working all those extra hours curtailed a few of our December plans but we still made it to the Midnight Mass for Our Lady of Guadalupe. It was in Spanish and Marianna was rather disappointed that what they had advertised as the Icon of Our Lady was actually just the traditional image in a gold and silver frame. It was fun to follow along with the songs though and pick out words we understood, though I still don't know how they were saying Tepayac, not the way it looks!
Today I'm off for a lunch in town with my husband - very exciting! He is back home after 7 days of training in the PanHandle.
The masts and shrouds are filled with lights
'neath the waning of the moon
There's an air of celebration in the realm of King Neptune.
Our Jesse Tree is growing more delightful everyday (and fuller too!) Marianna was completely inspired by these Scandinavian Ornaments by Martha thus the black backgrounds and brilliant colors.
The sunset is breathtaking tonight and we've been invited for cocktails and appetizers on the T-Deck.
Instead we're going to eat Mexican food and decorate our boat and then attend a midnight La Serenata Mass at midnight to welcome the Icon of Our Lady Guadalupe to the Archdiocese of Miami from Mexico City. More info here and I, of course, will tell all tomorrow here!
Must go now as the tub of decorations is being lowered down the hatch and the no-see-ums are awful and the conchs are being blown!!!
P.S. Don't forget Alice's Tea for tomorrow. We are buying the goodies tonight before mass.
|Our Faith
Certain things should not be wrapped tightly in plastic and hidden behind the bananas.
Anyone care to place a guess as to what it was?
|I'm all at Sea with this Recipe!
Oceana is back.
The planes began flying at 6:30am this morning.
That building you see under the plane?
The Navigator's Bar and Grill.

Friday night - me.
Saturday night - me.
Sunday night - me.
Conch Rum and Coke or Miller Light Draft?
As Marianna and I were walking through Winn-Dixie we noticed a display of many types of bananas in the produce section. One of our favorite things to do is taste test either different varieties of foods or new to us foods so we quickly came to the conclusion that bananas and plantains would be a great topic to address next.
Now I have to pause for one moment to tell you how amazing this is. Marianna hates raw bananas passionately. This developed relatively recently, she claims she simply ate too, too many when she was a little tyke and she just may have a point there! As a toddler she named herself Nanna and since that sounds very similar to her preferred food at that time you can imagine a typical day.
Toddler in kitchen - "Nanna!"
Mommy at counter - "Oh! She said her name! What a sweetie!"
Toddler a little louder - "Nanna!"
Mommy, crouching down, starts cooing.
Toddler, reaching for bananas just out of reach on counter, starts screaming.
To avoid this many times a day senario, I promptly renamed that preferred food Maia, the Hawaiian word for banana since we were watching the totally cute Keiki Calabash 4 times a day at that time. You can hear a portion of the song featuring Maia here.
Now I suppose would be as good a time as any to introduce two additional books we are thrilled to be using, 21st Century Cook and Big Snacks, Little Meals.
The first is subtitled the Bible of Ingredients, Terms, Tools & Techniques and I think that is an accurate description! It is loaded with easy to find information, but the book is a decent size, about 8x5" maybe, so it doesn't take over the entire counter when you're working with it, very important in small places!
The second book is a fun cookbook written for older kids, as it says - "This is a book about real cooking, not some little kid's book about making PB&J sandwiches that look like bunnies. You'll start with fresh, basic ingredients, and put them together to make nutritious, substantial dishes." The recipes range from one entitled Ooey Gooey which I was pushing to try since it involved bananas, peanut butter, chocolate and marshmallows to Fried Green Tomatoes which is what we went with.
Marianna's reasoning? If we're frying plantains the skillet will be hot so we might as well toss a few green tomato slices in too.
She's way too practical for me sometimes. ;)

Under the dock light the other night Marianna rescued a lovely Moth moving it from the dangerous area over the water up to the mangroves instead. It was quite calm, not very fluttery at all so we were able to get a great picture of it after trying many settings on the camera.
We've managed, thanks to What's That Bug and BugGuide to identify it as an Underwing Moth, but no more specific than that as we stopped our research after learning how popular Catocalas are with collectors for the difficulty in identification. Love the idea that many of the names are related to marriage, continuing a tradition began by Linneaus. It would be cool to say we found The Bride or The Darling but I didn't want to devote hours and hours comparing all 111 species today.
Sorry folks, busy life intruding here!

The bankrupt electronics and appliance retailer Vann's Inc. is under new ownership.
The $4.5 million sale to McMagic Partners LP of Texas was made final Tuesday.
Vann's - which has retail stores in Missoula, Hamilton, Kalispell, Billings and Bozeman - filed for bankruptcy in August.
Trustee Dick Samson said McMagic submitted its letter of intent to purchase Vann's on Oct. 16 and U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John L. Peterson approved the sale last Friday.
A McMagic representative said last week the company plans to keep the Vann's stores open and retain employees, but did not say how many employees will keep their jobs.
McMagic is part of the Khaledi Group, which includes a chain of electronics stores in California, Arizona and Texas.

Bailout babies could give ECB target practice
Opening salvo
Ireland and Portugal are slowly regaining market access and may soon be able to ask the ECB to buy their debt. The bank would then have to put its money where its mouth is. But it could use the opportunity to show the benefits of its still-untested programme at a limited cost.

Hi All,
I've introduced myself in the appropriate area but would also like to say a massive hello here as this is where I intend spending the majority of my time!
I am wanting to (and will) travel the world by bike, this much I now know having toyed with the idea of doing it by sail boat and motorbike for the past few years. I don't know which bike to get though Cannondale, Kona, Trek and Giant are in the pile of maybe's. Panniers v. Trailer, haven't a clue!! These are just some of the questions floating around my head.
I will take my time to read earlier posts etc to familiarise myself with what's gone on so as not to annoy anyone by asking the same things over again!
Anyhow, nice to be here and among fellow cyclists.
All the best,

Ed. Note: Evans Clinchy is a Bostonian and active member of the hoops blogosphere. He's been covering the Celtics for nearly four years, with his writing appearing on CelticsBlog, NESN, and SI (among other places). You can follow him, his thoughts, and his writing on Twitter. He wrote this piece after the Pacers came up short in Monday night's Game 7 against the Heat.
Quite possibly the most prevalent bit of NBA conventional wisdom, right up there with such nuggets of genius as "You can't teach height" and "Defense wins championships," is the idea that there's nothing worse than being a middling team and falling into an endless loop of first-round playoff exits. Everyone knows the peril of basketball purgatory — if you're too good to fall into the lottery and too bad to be a serious championship threat, there's no way out, and you're doomed to mediocrity forever.
The Indiana Pacers worked for years to disprove this theory. After the Malice at the Palace fomented the downfall of a legitimate contender in 2004, the franchise proceeded to endure eight straight seasons in the middle, never winning fewer than 32 games or more than 44. During that time, not once did they win multiple playoff rounds, and not once did they make a draft pick higher than 10th
It was really, really hard for Indy to break out of that funk. The aforementioned No. 10 draft pick was Paul George in 2010; they traded the No. 15 a year later for George Hill. Add those pieces to a foundation of Danny Granger (remember him?) and Roy Hibbert, then throw in a timely free-agent signing in David West, and you've got yourself a finally-better-than-mediocre basketball team.
After nearly a decade, the Pacers had finally built something they could be proud of.
At least it appeared that way. But what happened last night makes you rethink things a little bit.
To the Pacers' credit, they pushed the Miami Heat to seven games in these Eastern Conference finals, which is something virtually no one expected any team to do this spring. The mighty Heat, winners of 27 consecutive games just a couple months ago, were pushed to the brink of elimination, and that's something George and Hibbert and the rest of the Pacers can tell their grandchildren someday.
But how depressing is it to think that a seven-game exit was probably the Pacers' ceiling? That no matter how "interesting" things began to look at certain points over these last two weeks, the chances of Indy actually winning this series in the end were precisely 0.00000 percent all along? That no matter how shrewdly constructed this Pacer team was, no matter how well coached they were, no matter how hard they fought to unseat the Heat as East champs, there was simply no out-talenting the unbelievable talent that is LeBron James?
That's pretty damn depressing if you ask me. The Pacers worked for years and years to build themselves into something other than a first-round exit team. But ultimately, what's the difference between a first-round exit and a third-round exit? In a league where rings are everything, a conference finals berth is nothing.
This is where we're at. This is what LeBron's relentless LeBronniness has done to the NBA. It's left the other 29 teams in the league, some of them very good teams relative to the other squads comprised by mere mortals, wondering… what's the point?
I suppose there's some pride to be had in playing seven competitive, highly watchable games against the best team in the universe. The Pacers were one fluky 3-point shooting performance away from stealing Miami's perch atop the East, and that's saying something. Only it's kinda not. Watching this series, you had this tingling sense that a Heat victory was a foregone conclusion, even when the Pacers tied it 1-1, then 2-2, then 3-3. LeBron was never really going to lose this one.
Basketball purists trumpeted this series as a potentially legendary one, a picture-perfect matchup of hoops yin and yang. You had the stylistic clash of an athletic, running, gunning supersquad and an old-school defensive team led by an old-school defensive big man. It was a beautiful sentiment. Beautiful, but baloney. This wasn't a Taoist equilibrium — this was a food chain. The Heat were built to devour the Pacers, and devour them they did.
It's hard not to feel bad for the Pacers. They're a likable group of guys, an unassuming team from an unassuming town, they worked hard to reach this point, and they never had a chance.
The irony is that largely, this team was built by Larry Bird, the quintessential competitor, the guy who famously walked into the building for a 3-point shootout and asked the rest of the field, "Which one of you's coming in second place?"
In the Eastern Conference, it's the Pacers coming in second. Not only now, but it wouldn't surprise a soul if they wound up right back here again next year, and the year after, and the year after that.
Indiana spent nine years building a team that was better than mediocre. But in the end, all they reached was a different kind of purgatory.
Thanks, LeBron. Thanks, Miami. As long as you're around, everyone is mediocre.

Graduate ProgramsAdult ProgramsTransfer StudentsAccepted StudentsCurrent StudentsFaculty/Staff
Reinhardt offers a Bachelor of
Music in Music Performance through the School of Music. The Music Performance program is designed to provide graduates with a background in music. Students will be able to think critically about their art in relation to the liberal arts. Students will also become proficient in the practical application through the progression and refinement of their musical skills. This degree prepares students for careers in concert, music theater, or opera performance. While classical training is emphasized, the student will be well prepared to perform in a variety of styles and genres.
Instrumental musicians work long hours. Practices and rehearsals usually are held during the day; performances often are evenings and weekends. It is not uncommon for musicians to travel on tour or wherever they can find work (clubs, taverns and concerts halls). They may be required to lift and carry instruments and accessories weighing up to 10 kilograms. Electronic audio and related equipment may weigh considerably more.
Your classes will introduce you to music theory, instrument or vocal training, music history, and various other courses that will broaden your horizons and expand your musical taste and knowledge. You will be properly prepared to perform in any kind of environment or situation.
American Federation of Musicians
American Symphony Orchestra League
American Choral Directors Association
American Composers Alliance
American String Teachers Association
Weekly music lessons, endless scales and arpeggios, ear training classes, nightly rehearsals, recitals for friends and family, and juries with faculty members…. If singing or playing an instrument is today a hobby, as a performance major it will be your life.
Student musicians spend more time practicing than almost any other activity. Hours of practicing will help you learn to interpret a piece of music as the composer envisioned it. You'll also develop your own signature sound; one that's unique to you.
Students of music performance perfect their skills as musicians. Lessons, classes, and recitals help students develop a personal style and prepare them for performing as soloists, ensemble players, and accompanists.

Global PMIs: France Worst, UK First
World rankings of June manufacturing PMIs point to GDP accelerating in the U.K. and the risk of the French economy contracting last quarter, according to Bloomberg Briefs' Niraj Shah. The U.K. economy grew by 0.8% in the first three months of the year while French output failed to grow. The French and U.K. economies account for 3.59 percent and 3.4 percent of global output, respectively. Whether one should entrust any faith in forecasting future growth to these soft-survey data is questionable at best but the investing world appears happy to find more confirmation-bias confirming indicators.
As another gentle reminder of how much faith to scribe to PMIs producing valuable output...
Destroying the 'myth' of the exuberant PMI data...
Via BofAML,
While a bit more than half of the recent data have been weaker than expected, the manufacturing and nonmanufacturing purchasing manager's indexes have been very strong, jumping 4.8 and 5.8 points, respectively, since June. By some accounts, these data are better indicators than the hard numbers that come out of the government. After all, they are released very early, they are raw unfiltered data (other than seasonal adjustment), they are never revised and they are simple to interpret. We disagree. In our view, they are useful as a rough and ready early read on the economy. However, once the corresponding official data are released, we put very little weight on these surveys.
It is important to understand how crude these surveys are. Each month, a few hundred purchasing managers are asked if a variety of activity variables are up, down, or the same relative to the prior month. Their responses are then converted into diffusion indexes: the sum of the number managers reporting activity is "increasing" and half of those reporting "the same." Note that there is some guesswork involved: the survey is taken before the month is over and some of the questions cover areas of the firm that are difficult for a purchasing manager to get a timely read on. For example, a purchasing manager may not have a very precise idea of what is happening to hiring in a large, diverse firm. Moreover, since they don't gather specific numbers for each series, they may have to make a rough guess, particularly if the trend is slightly up or down.
Fans of the two indexes point out that they are relatively stable, easy to interpret and never revised. However, in our view, the simplicity of the data is a drawback, not an advantage. It means no attempt is made to correct misreporting or to include late respondents. Moreover, the sample they use is not representative of the overall economy. They represent a broad cross-section of industries, but they oversample big firms and they make no attempt to adjust for the birth and death of firms. The US is a dynamic economy and these surveys will miss these compositional shifts. Indeed, a lot of the revisions to official data come from attempts to fix all these problems rather than ignore them.
A comparison with payroll employment underscores these drawbacks. The preliminary payroll report is based on data from 145,000 establishments with 557,000 individual worksites. Thus if the BLS wanted to, it could turn its raw data into simple up or down answers and then create hundreds of diffusion indexes just like the employment component of the ISM index. However, that would mean throwing out information on both the size of employment changes at each company and turning a big sample into a bunch of tiny samples.
One way to show the information advantage of the employment report is to show how it correlates with manufacturing output. Using data from 1990 to present, the employment component of the manufacturing ISM index has a correlation of 0.39 with monthly industrial production growth. How does the official data compare? First, using the Labor Department's own diffusion index—based on 84 industries—the correlation improves to 0.46. Second, using the actual job growth data, the correlation improves to 0.60. And, finally, if we also take into account the length of the work week, the correlation for aggregate hours worked and industrial production is 0.69. Clearly, more information is better.
How do we interpret the latest ISM numbers? Table 2 above shows the results when we regress GDP growth on its own lags and then add the composite ISM. The results underscore the difficulty in forecasting GDP. Using the average ISMs for July and August, the model with just GDP lags predicts growth of 2% in 3Q, while the model with the ISM points to 4.0%. However, the error band for these forecasts is very high - the "standard error" for the first model is 2.4pp and the second model 2.1pp. In other words, using a two standard error confidence band, we can be "95% confident" that growth is somewhere between zero and 8%. On the other hand, it is encouraging that the ISM is statistically significant.
* * *
The world data mills churn out a lot of surveys.A popular view is that these surveys are better than hard data. In our view, however, these data get way too much air time. They give a timely, rough read on the economy, but should get little weight once hard data are released.

Well here is a new report from the UK released today:
A new report has dealt a savage blow to George Osborne's claims of a "recovery" with the revelation that there are more unemployed people in every region of Britain than before the crash of 2008.
In some parts of the UK, unemployment is 50 per cent higher than it was before the recession. The talk in the City and around Westminster may be about a fast-growing economy but the recovery still feels a good way off for millions of people still desperate for work across the rest of the country.
I just want to know what exactly is it that is actually made in the UK?
Are those PMI's before or after seasonal adjustment to survey data?
Oh yeah and bad teeth. Lots and lots of bad teeth in the UK.
And boozers. Like the whole country like to drink till they blackout passout. Even the chicks.
But bad teeth take the cake
Secret elite shadow governments?
our government excel at making hot air
I don't belive much of anything coming from London these days. I don't doubt the GDP number might be good, when 75% of the U.K. economy is service based. (financial services profits have boomed over this 6 year ponzi)
I'd like to see how many people are traveling on vacation to the U.K. with the pound at multiyear highs.
I donno, but try getting a hotel room in London.
WTF does the UK produce other than peodophiles, bad teeth, and bad food???!!!
Supercilious accents and American poodles?
Financial scams ! Their predator class is as highly skilled as ours.
Good question.. only thing I can think of is pounds, I don't think they're imported
BO, women with hairy airpits, women with hairy legs, the list goes on and on.
We produce bankers.
The greatest wealth creators of em all!
Homos and ugly people.
We have FULL recovery.
Believe me, honestly, trust me on this one.
You can take that, to the bank.
sarc, all of it.
You didn't do the pinky swear....
Just a summer break, that's it... That's why they call it summer break no?
"The sun will come out tomorrow, so you gotta' hang on 'till tomorrow!"
Sing it Annie! Tell Daddy Warbuck's I say hello, and btw, does he have a twin?
The UK are selling out real estate, public and private businesses, financial services.. fuck it were taking dollars, remnimbi, roubles and rupees for the family silver and our grandma's (oh and our children, we are selling them too) and calling it exports.
Pound for new reserve currency!
Seriously, possibly, - help to buy, funding for lending, zero hours contracts, endless cheap labour, ppi payouts, just a load of bullshit really, but the sheep suck it all up, tards...
God save the king!
Ergh, I'd rather be living in Southern France to be honest.
London is the worlds greatest sh** hole.
I see that the U.K. has stepped up their "manufacturing" of financial "products" of mass destruction.
Charts only tell you how we got here - they are mostly useless as predictive devices.
Then consider the subject of the quality of the inputs used to make them.
Doesn't take that many bad (manipulated) inputs to create meaningless wiggly lines.
shrinking economies, rising PMIs
makes sense to me - as a pathological psychotic bull fucking shitter!!!!!

Chamomile (Matricaria recutita [Latin]), also known as German chamomile, has been used medicinally for thousands of years. It is a popular treatment for numerous ailments, including sleep disorders, anxiety, poor digestion, colic, inflammation, and wound healing.
Chamomile is thought to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiseptic powers. Some herbalists also recommend it for treatment of water retention, blood clots, muscle tension, and a depressed immune system.
Back in the days when women often came down with a mysterious malady called "the vapors", a cup of chamomile tea was often prescribed to relieve anxiety. Known for its calming effect on smooth muscle tissue, chamomile is still a popular remedy for nervous stomach, menstrual cramps, and other common problems often related to stress. Since 1600, Europeans have used chamomile as a cure for insomnia, neuralgia, back pain, and rheumatism. They were not the first to discover this herb; the ancient Egyptians included chamomile in their arsenal of herbal cures.
In Europe, chamomile oil is an active ingredient in many over-the-counter anti-inflammatories and antiseptics. In the United States, chamomile is not as widely used, and is best known as an ingredient in herbal teas used to calm the nerves and promote sleep, although many chamomile-containing products are available at health food stores.
Scientific Studies:
Recent studies have focused on the ability of chamomile to help fight infection and inflammation. One study reported that chamomile helps antibiotics work better when it comes to clearing up bladder infections; another test showed that chamomile was superior to hydrocortisone for easing skin inflammation.
Chamomile may help ease symptoms of conditions for which modern medicine currently has no cure�inhaling steam containing chamomile extract has been shown to ease cold symptoms, and research suggests that massaging with chamomile essential oil may improve anxiety and quality of life in patients with cancer.
If you want to take chamomile, you�ll find chamomile-containing products and supplements at some pharmacies and all health-food stores. It is available in many forms, including capsules, liquid extract, and creams. The usual dosage is two to three 350-milligram capsules or � to 1 teaspoon of a liquid extract three times a day. You can also buy the dried chamomile flowers�steep 2 to 3 teaspoons of dried chamomile flowers in a cup of hot water for homemade chamomile tea, which can be used as a mouthwash or a poultice for inflamed muscles and joints.
Chamomile has been used extensively in herbal medicine for many, many, years. It has a well-established reputation for healing, and is generally considered to be safe; however, there have been many reports of allergic reactions (some life-threatening) in people after eating, touching, or inhaling chamomile preparations. Chamomile is related to ragweed, and people allergic to ragweed should steer clear of this herb. People taking blood thinners should also avoid chamomile because it contains coumarin, a substance that thins the blood and may enhance the effects of blood thinners. In large doses, chamomile may cause vomiting.

Act IV
Act IV, Scene 1
Actus Quartus.
Scaena 1. (Athens. A room in the prison.)
[Enter Iailor and his friend.]
Heare you no more? was nothing saide of me
Concerning the escape of Palamon?
Good Sir, remember.
Nothing that I heard,
For I came home before the busines
Was fully ended: Yet I might perceive,
Ere I departed, a great likelihood
Of both their pardons: For Hipolita,
And faire-eyd Emilie, upon their knees
Begd with such hansom pitty, that the Duke
Me thought stood staggering, whether he should follow
His rash oth, or the sweet compassion
Of those two Ladies; and to second them,
That truely noble Prince Perithous,
Halfe his owne heart, set in too, that I hope
All shall be well: Neither heard I one question
Of your name or his scape.
[Enter 2. Friend.]
Pray heaven it hold so.
Be of good comfort, man; I bring you newes,
Good newes.
They are welcome,
Palamon has cleerd you,
And got your pardon, and discoverd how
And by whose meanes he escapt, which was your Daughters,
Whose pardon is procurd too; and the Prisoner,
Not to be held ungratefull to her goodnes,
Has given a summe of money to her Marriage,
A large one, ile assure you.
Ye are a good man
And ever bring good newes.
How was it ended?
Why, as it should be; they that nev'r begd
But they prevaild, had their suites fairely granted,
The prisoners have their lives.
I knew t'would be so.
But there be new conditions, which you'l heare of
At better time.
I hope they are good.
They are honourable,
How good they'l prove, I know not.
[Enter Wooer.]
T'will be knowne.
Alas, Sir, wher's your Daughter?
Why doe you aske?
O, Sir, when did you see her?
How he lookes?
This morning.
Was she well? was she in health, Sir?
When did she sleepe?
These are strange Questions.
I doe not thinke she was very well, for now
You make me minde her, but this very day
I ask'd her questions, and she answered me
So farre from what she was, so childishly,
So sillily, as if she were a foole,
An Inocent, and I was very angry.
But what of her, Sir?
Nothing but my pitty;
But you must know it, and as good by me
As by an other that lesse loves her--
Well, Sir.
Not right?
Not well?
No, Sir, not well.
Tis too true, she is mad.
It cannot be.
Beleeve, you'l finde it so.
I halfe suspected
What you (have) told me: the gods comfort her:
Either this was her love to Palamon,
Or feare of my miscarrying on his scape,
Or both.
Tis likely.
But why all this haste, Sir?
Ile tell you quickly. As I late was angling
In the great Lake that lies behind the Pallace,
From the far shore, thicke set with reedes and Sedges,
As patiently I was attending sport,
I heard a voyce, a shrill one, and attentive
I gave my eare, when I might well perceive
T'was one that sung, and by the smallnesse of it
A boy or woman. I then left my angle
To his owne skill, came neere, but yet perceivd not
Who made the sound, the rushes and the Reeds
Had so encompast it: I laide me downe
And listned to the words she sung, for then,
Through a small glade cut by the Fisher men,
I saw it was your Daughter.
Pray, goe on, Sir?
She sung much, but no sence; onely I heard her
Repeat this often: 'Palamon is gone,
Is gone to'th wood to gather Mulberies;
Ile finde him out to morrow.'
Pretty soule.
'His shackles will betray him, hee'l be taken,
And what shall I doe then? Ile bring a beavy,
A hundred blacke eyd Maides, that love as I doe,
With Chaplets on their heads of Daffadillies,
With cherry-lips, and cheekes of Damaske Roses,
And all wee'l daunce an Antique fore the Duke,
And beg his pardon.' Then she talk'd of you, Sir;
That you must loose your head to morrow morning,
And she must gather flowers to bury you,
And see the house made handsome: then she sung
Nothing but 'Willow, willow, willow,' and betweene
Ever was, 'Palamon, faire Palamon,'
And 'Palamon was a tall yong man.' The place
Was knee deepe where she sat; her careles Tresses
A wreathe of bull-rush rounded; about her stucke
Thousand fresh water flowers of severall cullors,
That me thought she appeard like the faire Nimph
That feedes the lake with waters, or as Iris
Newly dropt downe from heaven; Rings she made
Of rushes that grew by, and to 'em spoke
The prettiest posies: 'Thus our true love's tide,'
'This you may loose, not me,' and many a one:
And then she wept, and sung againe, and sigh'd,
And with the same breath smil'd, and kist her hand.
Alas, what pitty it is!
I made in to her.
She saw me, and straight sought the flood; I sav'd her,
And set her safe to land: when presently
She slipt away, and to the Citty made,
With such a cry and swiftnes, that, beleeve me,
Shee left me farre behinde her; three or foure
I saw from farre off crosse her, one of 'em
I knew to be your brother; where she staid,
And fell, scarce to be got away: I left them with her, [Enter
Brother, Daughter, and others.]
And hether came to tell you. Here they are.
DAUGHTER. [sings.]
May you never more enjoy the light, &c.
Is not this a fine Song?
O, a very fine one.
I can sing twenty more.
I thinke you can.
Yes, truely, can I; I can sing the Broome,
And Bony Robin. Are not you a tailour?
Wher's my wedding Gowne?
Ile bring it to morrow.
Doe, very rarely; I must be abroad else
To call the Maides, and pay the Minstrels,
For I must loose my Maydenhead by cock-light;
Twill never thrive else.
[Singes.] O faire, oh sweete, &c.
You must ev'n take it patiently.
Tis true.
Good ev'n, good men; pray, did you ever heare
Of one yong Palamon?
Yes, wench, we know him.
Is't not a fine yong Gentleman?
Tis Love.
By no meane crosse her; she is then distemperd
Far worse then now she showes.
Yes, he's a fine man.
O, is he so? you have a Sister?
But she shall never have him, tell her so,
For a tricke that I know; y'had best looke to her,
For if she see him once, she's gone, she's done,
And undon in an howre. All the young Maydes
Of our Towne are in love with him, but I laugh at 'em
And let 'em all alone; Is't not a wise course?
There is at least two hundred now with child by him--
There must be fowre; yet I keepe close for all this,
Close as a Cockle; and all these must be Boyes,
He has the tricke on't, and at ten yeares old
They must be all gelt for Musitians,
And sing the wars of Theseus.
This is strange.
As ever you heard, but say nothing.
They come from all parts of the Dukedome to him;
Ile warrant ye, he had not so few last night
As twenty to dispatch: hee'l tickl't up
In two howres, if his hand be in.
She's lost
Past all cure.
Heaven forbid, man.
Come hither, you are a wise man.
Do's she know him?
No, would she did.
You are master of a Ship?
Wher's your Compasse?
Set it too'th North.
And now direct your course to'th wood, wher Palamon
Lyes longing for me; For the Tackling
Let me alone; Come, waygh, my hearts, cheerely!
Owgh, owgh, owgh, tis up, the wind's faire,
Top the Bowling, out with the maine saile;
Wher's your Whistle, Master?
Lets get her in.
Vp to the top, Boy.
Wher's the Pilot?
What ken'st thou?
A faire wood.
Beare for it, master: take about! [Singes.]
When Cinthia with her borrowed light, &c. [Exeunt.]
Act IV, Scene 2
Scaena 2. (A Room in the Palace.)
[Enter Emilia alone, with 2. Pictures.]
Yet I may binde those wounds up, that must open
And bleed to death for my sake else; Ile choose,
And end their strife: Two such yong hansom men
Shall never fall for me, their weeping Mothers,
Following the dead cold ashes of their Sonnes,
Shall never curse my cruelty. Good heaven,
What a sweet face has Arcite! if wise nature,
With all her best endowments, all those beuties
She sowes into the birthes of noble bodies,
Were here a mortall woman, and had in her
The coy denialls of yong Maydes, yet doubtles,
She would run mad for this man: what an eye,
Of what a fyry sparkle, and quick sweetnes,
Has this yong Prince! Here Love himselfe sits smyling,
Iust such another wanton Ganimead
Set Jove a fire with, and enforcd the god
Snatch up the goodly Boy, and set him by him
A shining constellation: What a brow,
Of what a spacious Majesty, he carries!
Arch'd like the great eyd Iuno's, but far sweeter,
Smoother then Pelops Shoulder! Fame and honour,
Me thinks, from hence, as from a Promontory
Pointed in heaven, should clap their wings, and sing
To all the under world the Loves and Fights
Of gods, and such men neere 'em. Palamon
Is but his foyle, to him a meere dull shadow:
Hee's swarth and meagre, of an eye as heavy
As if he had lost his mother; a still temper,
No stirring in him, no alacrity,
Of all this sprightly sharpenes not a smile;
Yet these that we count errours may become him:
Narcissus was a sad Boy, but a heavenly:--
Oh who can finde the bent of womans fancy?
I am a Foole, my reason is lost in me;
I have no choice, and I have ly'd so lewdly
That women ought to beate me. On my knees
I aske thy pardon, Palamon; thou art alone,
And only beutifull, and these the eyes,
These the bright lamps of beauty, that command
And threaten Love, and what yong Mayd dare crosse 'em?
What a bold gravity, and yet inviting,
Has this browne manly face! O Love, this only
From this howre is Complexion: Lye there, Arcite,
Thou art a changling to him, a meere Gipsey,
And this the noble Bodie. I am sotted,
Vtterly lost: My Virgins faith has fled me;
For if my brother but even now had ask'd me
Whether I lov'd, I had run mad for Arcite;
Now, if my Sister, More for Palamon.
Stand both together: Now, come aske me, Brother.--
Alas, I know not! Aske me now, sweet Sister;--
I may goe looke. What a meere child is Fancie,
That, having two faire gawdes of equall sweetnesse,
Cannot distinguish, but must crie for both.
[Enter (a) Gent(leman.)]
How now, Sir?
From the Noble Duke your Brother,
Madam, I bring you newes: The Knights are come.
To end the quarrell?
Would I might end first:
What sinnes have I committed, chast Diana,
That my unspotted youth must now be soyld
With blood of Princes? and my Chastitie
Be made the Altar, where the lives of Lovers
(Two greater and two better never yet
Made mothers joy) must be the sacrifice
To my unhappy Beautie?
[Enter Theseus, Hipolita, Perithous and attendants.]
Bring 'em in
Quickly, By any meanes; I long to see 'em.--
Your two contending Lovers are return'd,
And with them their faire Knights: Now, my faire Sister,
You must love one of them.
I had rather both,
So neither for my sake should fall untimely.
[Enter Messenger. (Curtis.)]
Who saw 'em?
I, a while.
And I.
From whence come you, Sir?
From the Knights.
Pray, speake,
You that have seene them, what they are.
I will, Sir,
And truly what I thinke: Six braver spirits
Then these they have brought, (if we judge by the outside)
I never saw, nor read of. He that stands
In the first place with Arcite, by his seeming,
Should be a stout man, by his face a Prince,
(His very lookes so say him) his complexion,
Nearer a browne, than blacke, sterne, and yet noble,
Which shewes him hardy, fearelesse, proud of dangers:
The circles of his eyes show fire within him,
And as a heated Lyon, so he lookes;
His haire hangs long behind him, blacke and shining
Like Ravens wings: his shoulders broad and strong,
Armd long and round, and on his Thigh a Sword
Hung by a curious Bauldricke, when he frownes
To seale his will with: better, o'my conscience
Was never Souldiers friend.
Thou ha'st well describde him.
Yet a great deale short,
Me thinkes, of him that's first with Palamon.
Pray, speake him, friend.
I ghesse he is a Prince too,
And, if it may be, greater; for his show
Has all the ornament of honour in't:
Hee's somewhat bigger, then the Knight he spoke of,
But of a face far sweeter; His complexion
Is (as a ripe grape) ruddy: he has felt,
Without doubt, what he fights for, and so apter
To make this cause his owne: In's face appeares
All the faire hopes of what he undertakes,
And when he's angry, then a setled valour
(Not tainted with extreames) runs through his body,
And guides his arme to brave things: Feare he cannot,
He shewes no such soft temper; his head's yellow,
Hard hayr'd, and curld, thicke twind like Ivy tods,
Not to undoe with thunder; In his face
The liverie of the warlike Maide appeares,
Pure red, and white, for yet no beard has blest him.
And in his rowling eyes sits victory,
As if she ever ment to court his valour:
His Nose stands high, a Character of honour.
His red lips, after fights, are fit for Ladies.
Must these men die too?
When he speakes, his tongue
Sounds like a Trumpet; All his lyneaments
Are as a man would wish 'em, strong and cleane,
He weares a well-steeld Axe, the staffe of gold;
His age some five and twenty.
Ther's another,
A little man, but of a tough soule, seeming
As great as any: fairer promises
In such a Body yet I never look'd on.
O, he that's freckle fac'd?
The same, my Lord;
Are they not sweet ones?
Yes, they are well.
Me thinkes,
Being so few, and well disposd, they show
Great, and fine art in nature: he's white hair'd,
Not wanton white, but such a manly colour
Next to an aborne; tough, and nimble set,
Which showes an active soule; his armes are brawny,
Linde with strong sinewes: To the shoulder peece
Gently they swell, like women new conceav'd,
Which speakes him prone to labour, never fainting
Vnder the waight of Armes; stout harted, still,
But when he stirs, a Tiger; he's gray eyd,
Which yeelds compassion where he conquers: sharpe
To spy advantages, and where he finds 'em,
He's swift to make 'em his: He do's no wrongs,
Nor takes none; he's round fac'd, and when he smiles
He showes a Lover, when he frownes, a Souldier:
About his head he weares the winners oke,
And in it stucke the favour of his Lady:
His age, some six and thirtie. In his hand
He beares a charging Staffe, embost with silver.
Are they all thus?
They are all the sonnes of honour.
Now, as I have a soule, I long to see'em.
Lady, you shall see men fight now.
I wish it,
But not the cause, my Lord; They would show
Bravely about the Titles of two Kingdomes;
Tis pitty Love should be so tyrannous:
O my soft harted Sister, what thinke you?
Weepe not, till they weepe blood, Wench; it must be.
You have steel'd 'em with your Beautie.--Honord Friend,
To you I give the Feild; pray, order it
Fitting the persons that must use it.
Yes, Sir.
Come, Ile goe visit 'em: I cannot stay,
Their fame has fir'd me so; Till they appeare.
Good Friend, be royall.
There shall want no bravery.
Poore wench, goe weepe, for whosoever wins,
Looses a noble Cosen for thy sins. [Exeunt.]
Act IV, Scene 3
Scaena 3. (A room in the prison.)
[Enter Iailor, Wooer, Doctor.]
Her distraction is more at some time of the Moone, then at other
some, is it not?
She is continually in a harmelesse distemper, sleepes little,
altogether without appetite, save often drinking, dreaming of
another world, and a better; and what broken peece of matter
so'ere she's about, the name Palamon lardes it, that she farces
ev'ry busines withall, fyts it to every question.--
[Enter Daughter.]
Looke where shee comes, you shall perceive her behaviour.
I have forgot it quite; The burden on't, was DOWNE A, DOWNE A,
and pend by no worse man, then Giraldo, Emilias Schoolemaster;
he's as Fantasticall too, as ever he may goe upon's legs,--for
in the next world will Dido see Palamon, and then will she be
out of love with Eneas.
What stuff's here? pore soule!
Ev'n thus all day long.
Now for this Charme, that I told you of: you must bring a peece
of silver on the tip of your tongue, or no ferry: then, if it be
your chance to come where the blessed spirits, as ther's a sight
now--we maids that have our Lyvers perish'd, crakt to peeces with
Love, we shall come there, and doe nothing all day long but picke
flowers with Proserpine; then will I make Palamon a Nosegay; then
let him marke me,--then--
How prettily she's amisse? note her a little further.
Faith, ile tell you, sometime we goe to Barly breake, we of the
blessed; alas, tis a sore life they have i'th other place, such
burning, frying, boyling, hissing, howling, chattring, cursing,
oh they have shrowd measure! take heede; if one be mad, or hang
or drowne themselves, thither they goe, Iupiter blesse vs, and
there shall we be put in a Caldron of lead, and Vsurers grease,
amongst a whole million of cutpurses, and there boyle like a
of Bacon that will never be enough. [Exit.]
How her braine coynes!
Lords and Courtiers, that have got maids with Child, they are in
this place: they shall stand in fire up to the Nav'le, and in yce
up to'th hart, and there th'offending part burnes, and the
deceaving part freezes; in troth, a very greevous punishment, as
one would thinke, for such a Trifle; beleve me, one would marry a
leaprous witch, to be rid on't, Ile assure you.
How she continues this fancie! Tis not an engraffed Madnesse,
but a most thicke, and profound mellencholly.
To heare there a proud Lady, and a proud Citty wiffe, howle
together! I were a beast and il'd call it good sport: one cries,
'O this smoake!' another, 'this fire!' One cries, 'O, that ever
I did it behind the arras!' and then howles; th'other curses a
suing fellow and her garden house. [Sings] I will be true, my
stars, my fate, &c. [Exit Daugh.]
What thinke you of her, Sir?
I thinke she has a perturbed minde, which I cannot minister to.
Alas, what then?
Vnderstand you, she ever affected any man, ere she beheld
I was once, Sir, in great hope she had fixd her liking on this
gentleman, my friend.
I did thinke so too, and would account I had a great pen-worth
on't, to give halfe my state, that both she and I at this present
stood unfainedly on the same tearmes.
That intemprat surfeit of her eye hath distemperd the other sences:
they may returne and settle againe to execute their preordaind
faculties, but they are now in a most extravagant vagary. This
you must doe: Confine her to a place, where the light may rather
seeme to steale in, then be permitted; take vpon you (yong Sir,
her friend) the name of Palamon; say you come to eate with her,
and to commune of Love; this will catch her attention, for this
her minde beates upon; other objects that are inserted tweene her
minde and eye become the prankes and friskins of her madnes; Sing
to her such greene songs of Love, as she sayes Palamon hath sung
in prison; Come to her, stucke in as sweet flowers as the season
is mistres of, and thereto make an addition of som other compounded
odours, which are grateful to the sence: all this shall become
Palamon, for Palamon can sing, and Palamon is sweet, and ev'ry
good thing: desire to eate with her, carve her, drinke to her,
and still among, intermingle your petition of grace and acceptance
into her favour: Learne what Maides have beene her companions and
play-pheeres, and let them repaire to her with Palamon in their
mouthes, and appeare with tokens, as if they suggested for him.
It is a falsehood she is in, which is with falsehood to be combated.
This may bring her to eate, to sleepe, and reduce what's now out
of square in her, into their former law, and regiment; I have seene
it approved, how many times I know not, but to make the number more,
I have great hope in this. I will, betweene the passages of this
project, come in with my applyance: Let us put it in execution,
and hasten the successe, which, doubt not, will bring forth
comfort. [Florish. Exeunt.]

While DS owners were obviously pumped when Rockstar announced that Grand Theft Auto would be coming to their handheld, there was one question on everyone's minds: how small is it going to be? Surely they wouldn't be able to fit a full GTA game on an itty bitty DS cartridge, right? Yep, apparently they can.
In honor of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars' North American release, Rockstar Games has sent out a new gameplay trailer starring the game's Rampage mode.
Rockstar Games has released the third gameplay trailer for upcoming DS title Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. The clip's called "Dealing and Delivering" and shows hero Huang Lee flexing his entrepreneurial skills.

Emergency Evacuation Assistance Program
UTHealth seeks to protect its community from the effects of unpredictable situations by establishing specific procedures for coping with local emergencies. In that respect, the Emergency Evacuation Assistance Request was created for informing emergency personnel of parties that may need assistance in a building evacuation. This completed form will be secured in the Fire Depository box located at each building to identify the room or area in which the person needing assistance may be located. The Emergency Evacuation Assistance Request Form can be used for mobility impaired individuals who may need help for long or short term disabilities. Any occupant who feels they would need assistance during an evacuation is welcome to complete the form.
If you need assistance to evacuate the building during an emergency, please complete the Emergency Evacuation Assistance Request and return it to the Office of Environmental Health and Safety at OCB 1.330, or fax 713-500-8111.
Upon receipt, a member of the Environmental Health and Safety team will contact you to confirm the request. EH&S will then update the HFD Fire Depository Box, notify UTPD and coordinate with your Area Safety Liaison (ASL).
If you have any questions we encourage you to contact Environmental Health and Safety at 713-500-8100.

Veteran NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb has been in the news and some around the league feel that his next suitor could be the Cleveland Browns.
WKNR 850AM mid-morning radio host Tony Rizzo tweeted live from Indianapolis that three separate sources have linked the former Philadelphia Eagle quarterback to three of his former superiors in general manager Tom Heckert, current Browns head coach Pat Shurmur and recently-hired offensive coordinator Brad Childress.
In a recent interview at the Super Bowl's radio row, McNabb went on record to say that he endorsed the Browns' addition of Childress and, while mentioning current Browns quarterback Colt McCoy, that he and Shurmur will "do a great job together."
In an inteview with Super Bowl Live on the NFL Network this past Wednesday, McNabb stated that he has three teams wherein he could "add a little flavor" if there was mutual interest. Given that the Browns continue to be among the handful of teams that have yet to commit to their quarterback for the long term, there will continue to be a mosaic theory which will place any available quarterback into the Cleveland-based rumor mill until a final decision is made.
McNabb, 35, was selected second-overall in 1999. The Browns selected quarterback Tim Couch with the first pick that very year.

Continuing with the 3rd film in this series...
The first two were Cynthia Mort's Nina Simone biopic, Nina, starring Zoe Saldana in the title role, and David Oyelowo, and Pierre Bagley's From The Rough, starring Taraji P. Henson.
Film number 3 is Haitian (though France-based) filmmaker Djinn Carrénard's second feature, Faire l'amour (or Making Love).
It's a film that I actually thought would debut last year, but didn't, and felt rather strongly that it was on its way to an international film festival premiere during the first half of this year - like the Cannes Film Festival, where his acclaimed feature film debut Donoma, also made its premiere in 2010.
But that didn't happen. And unfortunately, I can't tell you what the film's status is. I asked Djinn directly on Twitter once or twice this year, but the most I got out of him, was, in short, that it was coming along.
First a quick recap... Synopsis for Faire l'amour reads:
Oussmane is a musician losing his hearing in a loveless relationship with Laure, an air hostess desperately trying to get pregnant. Kahina is a young woman doing time in a prison somewhere in Ile de France who gets leave for a week to spend Christmas with her four-year-old daughter. Oussmane and Kahina will fall in love during this week on leave, clinging on to each other with the passion of their instinct to survive. Kahina can't see her daughter, Kahina falls in love, Kahina has to return to prison.
Djinn's first film, the aforementioned Donoma, was reportedly made for a few hundred dollars; we saw it, and we were enthralled by it! As Ms Williams said in her review of it on this site in mid-April last year, "Donoma feels like discovering a delightful show on Netflix and watching the whole season in an afternoon. When it's done, you're hungry for more and disappointed that there's nothing left to devour."
And she also added, "hopefully, the director will give us more deliciousness to taste soon."
Well, hopefully, he'll be doing just that with Faire l'amour (Making Love), a project that's budgeted at €2.7 million, or about $3.5 million! Talk about a jump (from a few hundred dollars for his first film, to a few million for his second). I'm sure he's pleased. Let's see how that affects the end product.
The film reportedly began production in the spring of last year, with shooting expected to take about nine weeks in Paris, so we can only assume it's complete by now, or close to completion.
Carrénard actually wrote Faire L'Amour before he made Donoma, and has said that it'll explore similar themes as that first film, which revolved around the dynamics of several, interconnected Paris couples.
"I wrote Faire L'Amour before shooting Donoma. Having focused on one couple in a very particular situation I wanted to explore lots of different couples in a freer way and that was how Donoma was born," he said.
And also like Donoma, Faire L'Amour's cast will comprise of mostly amateur, first-time actors, which Carrénard selected from acting workshops he conducted earlier last year.
I'm definitely curious about Faire L'Amour. I get the feeling that Monsieur Carrénard is a talented one to definitely watch, at 32 years old.
Finally, courtesy of ScreenDaily, I think you'd appreciate this paragraph on his producing, marketing and distributing Donoma. Talk about a ground effort.
Shot in 2009 on a micro-budget with a borrowed Sony camcorder and basic wireless microphones to record the dialogue, Donoma premiered in Cannes in 2010 as part of the Association for the Distribution of Independent Cinema (ACID) sidebar. There, it received a handful of festival invites and was circled by the likes of EuropaCorp, Jour2Fête and Epicentre but a distribution failed to materialise. Frustrated by the film's lack of visibility, Carrénard decided to release the film under his own steam with the support of Commune Image Média – a production hub on the outskirts of Paris home to 20 independent companies - and key members of the cast including Salomé Blechmans, Emilia Derou Bernal and Sékouba Doucouré. Together they organised a series of "happenings", including a packed 2,800-person screening of the picture at the iconic Art Deco Grand Rex Cinema in central Paris. "There were ten of us on the team and we were charged with each contacting 50 people a day to sell tickets. In the evening we would hand out flyers," says Blechmans, one of Carrénard's closest collaborators. "24 hours before the screening we had only sold about 1,000 tickets but a lot of people turned up on the night." The filmmaker and crew then took the film on tour across France in a bus emblazoned with the Donoma Guerrilla Tour logo, stopping off in some 20 towns, announcing their arrival circus style with loud speakers and flyers. Faire L'Amour, which will be distributed by Pathé, is likely to get a very different release from Donoma. "I wonder how I'm going to feel about handing it over to someone else after our experiences on Donoma," says Carrénard, somewhat wistfully.
Gotta love the spirit and hustle.
With 10,000 times the budget of Donoma, I'm looking forward to seeing what he's done with Faire L'Amour, which he's been very quiet on; at least, I haven't heard, nor seen a single update on it since last summer. And, as noted, in response to my inquiry, he revealed nothing useful.
So we wait... maybe 2014 will be the year it finally makes it debut.

I laughed at this. So many people that got buttprobed and still defend their way of life.
The stupidity that the rich have a safety net and the poor doesnt.
That is diseconomies of scale for you. Higher ups add no real value to the company, generally speaking, but suck out a lot of pay. Unfortunately, workers require supervision.

Frankly, think nobody should make more than a million a year in salary/wages including bonuses. Anything more than that is taxed 100%.
I'm a capitalist, but why are we paying mere employees so much?
Beta Beta Mahirim Jihad
Without freedom to fail, freedom to succeed is meaningless.
A key feature of a market is that firms take prices set by the activity of the market and cannot, unless they are a monopoly, set prices, because if their prices ascend beyond the market equilibrium price, then noöne would patronize them. The point when a firm's behavior becomes objectionable is when that firm makes foolish decisions that bring about its failure, but then everyone is compelled to bear the cost of it. viz. if the government saves it, especially if in a way that will not later reap a profit.
In firms of exceptional value, effective chief officers can have a substantial effect, even if for no reason other than the extraordinary stakes involved. Further, there must be a zenith toward which subordinate employees wish to ascend
I probably shouldn't have written most, or any, of that, but I have grown very weary of the constant exaltation of the poor and castigation of the wealthy. I don't want to become deeply entangled in this, so take my future silence as you will, but wonder if adding more clamor would have been worth enough to me to be worth it.
This sure as Hell wasn't.

Prosperity is only an instrument to be used, not a deity to be worshipped.
~Calvin Coolidge
Having rich people moving from one company to another and get so ridiculous amounts of money for doing very little with a high risk and the same time playing with the common workers, jobs. That is stupid.
The first is capitalism for me, the second is not.
I understand what you are saying but everyone in the US and many around the world rely on the USs banking sector even if not directly. Thoes that are seemingly not directly linked to them are in fact linked. Nearly all products and services in the US are linked to them. The exceptions being foriegn companies and even most of them are in on it.
But how does this stop me from making my own wealth? You are assuming that wealth is set at fixed amount in the world with only so much of it to go around. This was proven to be patently false a couple hundred years ago.For every penny that companies pay thier employees it means they must charge that penny for their product/service (which cost us the consumer).
Depends on what industry you are in, the Fed does it all the time.Do you think they pull this money out of the air?

Drugs and Le Tour de France
Riders have a survival philosophy says Associate Professor Catherine Palmer.
With another Tour de France underway and with spectators again encouraged to suspend their disbelief - all as Lance Armstrong is again embroiled in allegations of drugs use - Deakin University academic Associate Professor Catherine Palmer says most professional cyclists have developed a certain survival philosophy about the use of performance enhancement substances.
"It all depends on your definition of performance enhancing," says Associate Professor Palmer from the Alfred Deakin Research Institute.
"All cyclists take vitamins for instance, as part of their preparations for their events.
"And of course training itself is performance enhancing.
"At the other end of the scale, you have those on the heavy stuff, steroids and so on, to meet the needs of the gruelling competitions in which they participate.
"The majority are probably somewhere in the middle, a mixture of the permitted things like vitamins, good nutrition and so on, and what sports science lets them get away with.
"Cycling does enforces some of the toughest measures and punishments for when a rider tests positive to a banned substance or fails to comply with out-of-competition testing requirements, yet doping still exists in the sport.
"What still haven't been adequately addressed are the reasons why some riders choose to illegally dope themselves, despite the punitive measures being in place and despite knowing the risks to their health, reputations and livelihoods.
"Many feel compelled to search beyond their natural physical capacities just to compete and without some form of artificial stimulant, legal or otherwise, it would not be possible to maintain the pace of professional cycling.
"In other sports in recent times, we have seen a lot of work going into to preparing athletes for when they retire.
"However, a lot of cyclists do not have trades or qualifications to fall back on after they retire, their careers are often over by their mid-30s and they often have young families to support, which all contributes to a rationalisation for why some riders choose to illegally dope themselves.
"While organisations such as the Union Cycliste Internationale, World Anti-Doping Agency, La Societe du Tour de France and cycling bodies throughout the world will, quite rightly, pursue a zero-tolerance approach to drugs in cycling, there is nonetheless a need to acknowledge the tension between athletic achievement and sporting purity that is that is increasingly difficult to reconcile now that the Tour de France is played out on a global, increasingly commercialised scale."
Associate Professor Palmer says while cycling now is probably as clean as it has ever been, the masking of illicit performance enhancing substances remains an art-form of itself.
"We are well and truly past the days when cyclists would carry someone else's urine sample under their armpit to provide to the testers," Associate Professor Palmer said.
"Testing regimes are far more sophisticated than that but there are always people who will seek to find ways around them."
Associate Professor Palmer said Lance Armstrong remains an enigma, and probably always will.
"He has been tested so many times in the past without any positive tests," she said.
"There are so many things at play here than just the use of drugs.
"Armstrong has many enemies in the United States, where the latest charges are being brought.
"He is equally not liked in France because he won "their" event seven times in a row."
As the popularity of the Tour de France has grown globally, something to which Armstrong made a great contribution in America, the French have found themselves in a dilemma.
The event which they hold so dearly is now dominated from riders from all over the world, most recently Australia's Cadel Evans.
"This creates many commercial opportunities for France, but at the same time there is the issue of loss of national identity," Dr Palmer said.
"It helps explains why French competitors who might win a stage, particularly on Bastille Day, are celebrated so joyously."
In a national identity twist, for the first time there will be a team competing in the Tour de France which is unmistakably Australian.
Riders like Evans and Phil "Le Skippy" Anderson rode not for their nation, but for professional teams.
In 2012, Australia will have a record 12 starts in the Tour, including the nine in the new Orica-GreenEDGE team, the first all- Australian outfit to contest the event.

In the close call of the morning, Karine Ruby of France, the fourth racer down the course, held onto the first-place time of 41.45 for much of the morning until Austrian Maria Kirchgasser ripped a serious run that beat out Ruby's by all of one hundredth of a second. This miniscule time difference between the top-two placers is all the more impressive considering the third-place racer, Lidia Trettel of Italy, was nearly half a second behind Ruby's time.
The first American placing was veteran-racer Lisa Kosglow of Idaho fame, who put in a smoking run that ranked her seventh going into the one-on-one finals. "In the qualifier, you're competing against yourself, which is actually the way I like it," said Kosglow. "In duel racing there're some many things that are out of your control." Sondra Van Ert put in the next American placing; finding herself stuck in the tragic 17th spot–just one place and nine hundredths of a second out of the finals.
"It was difficult," said American rider Rosey Fletcher, after her heartbreaking sketch on the upper course that cost her four seconds off the first-place time and a spot in tomorrow?s finals. "Coming out of the gate I was trying to do my best. I don't know if it was the rain turning to snow or what." She sat next to the scoreboard to watch the rest of the race, her head buried in her arms and her face streaked with tears: a victim of the single, crapshoot-style qualification run.
"If you get bumped, you're still an Olympian," said the announcer today. "But you're not a Olympic finalist."

LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — An Altavista man will spend five months in prison for selling counterfeit sports apparel and movie DVDS.
George E. Hall will serve five months on home confinement after he completes his sentence. The 46-year-old Hall also must pay about $64,000 in restitution.
U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy says Hall was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Lynchburg. Hall had previously pleaded guilty to trafficking in goods bearing counterfeit marks and copyright infringement.
Hall admitted to importing counterfeit sports jerseys, necklaces, bracelets, hats and sunglasses from China and Hong Kong. He then sold the apparel to other vendors. These vendors sold the apparel at trade shows and a local store.
Hall also admitted to selling DVDS containing pirated movies.

Head north, surfers. Swell to hit US Open in Huntington
This is a good news, bad news item ...
Hurricane Eugene is churning away southwest of Baja California, sending wave energy to Southern California. Surfline.com says that most of the energy will bypass San Diego County. But it will significantly increase the surf this weekend in Huntington Beach, where the US Open of Surfing is in full swing. So if you were planning to attend, you should see some decent action.
If you're going, leave early. Laylan Connelly of the Orange County Register says HB is already a zoo. You can follow the US Open on The Register website. CLICK HERE.
Sean Collins of Surfline sent out an email Thursday afternoon that says:
Guys, Surfline Aero Commander reported in this afternoon that Hurricane Eugene's swell was solid head high" and building fast in Central Baja, about 18 hours away from Huntington Beach. Our boys are currently surfing and will give us another update after they get out of the water this evening. Overall looks good for solid head high+ surf at Huntington Pier by Friday afternoon throughout the weekend. Stay tuned. Sean...
Closer to home ...
Surfline says the waves will be in the 3' to 4' range at favored breaks in northern San Diego County on Friday. The "SSE swell from Eugene will largely bypass the region due to the extreme approach angle," Surfline says. "Select far north county breaks see a bit of swell from him as we move through the weekend." In South San Diego County Friday, "Best SW and combo breaks see shoulder high sets."
Ocean temps: Mission Beach, 59 degrees (that's not a typo); Solana Beach, 61.
