[Updated With $4 JetBlue Flights!] Carmageddon Countdown: Fly Over Empty 405 Freeway on $400 Helicopter Tour, or $150 Air-Taxi Alternative
Even cooler without the cars.
Executive HeliShares
Updated after the jump: JetBlue just announced it'll be offering $4 flights between the Long Beach and Burbank airports on Saturday. Yes, $4.
Update of update: All four JetBlue flights sold out in 20 minutes. Guess there really are people who wanted to travel from Burbank to Long Beach on July 16. Weird.
Originally posted July 12 at 4 p.m.
Only in Los Angeles (hate that saying, but it's true) would an empty freeway be considered a major sightseeing attraction. But on Day 4 of the countdown to Carmageddon, it's just the kind of apocalyptic municipal madness we crave:

Like many other businesses globbing onto the upcoming 405 closure's PR machine, including GPS app Waze and bars across the Westside, Adventure Helicopters is pitching fancy V.I.P. tours of Carmageddon from above, at $400 per couple. Champagne included.
The company is better known for showing tourists the tops of hidden celebrity homes (can't hide from the birds, bitches!) and the Hollywood sign, but the legendary freeway construction set for July 16 and 17 opens up a whole new market: aerial CalTrans stalking!
Next stop, Mulholland Bridge demolition!
For those of you with triple-digit cab budgets who simply wish to avoid the ground-level gridlock -- and don't have time to pop bubbly slash ooh-ahh at some fat ugly ribbon of concrete -- you're in in luck. Here's the cheaper/quicker air option:
Executive HeliShares will be offering helicopter rides from the Valley to the Westside, and vice versa, beginning Friday at noon. (Because, though the official 405 closure doesn't begin until midnight, there's bound to be an epic pre-party.) The "SkyBridge" will continue to run from Saturday through Monday between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. (Because, again, we're not totally buying Metro's pinky-promise to finish by early Monday morning. If construction crews aren't finished, they're not finished, no matter who has to get fired over the $72,000-per-hour fines that will ensue.) Pickup and drop-off addresses can be found here. Tickets are $150 one way, $275 round trip.
Or you could not be an asshole and take one of 26 bus lines, or three subway lines, that the Metropolitan Transit Authority is offering for free this weekend.
How adorably green, no? Sure, it'll be maddening to figure out, in the moment, which ones, exactly, are free -- and even when you do, they're bound to become overcrowded saunas in the dead heat of summer -- but that's all part of the end-of-the-world fun.
Then again, a flute of bubbly on a V.I.P. 'copter sounds pretty bomb right now. Maybe we can even convince the pilot to play LAPD pursuit and swoop some unsuspecting U-Hauls.
Update: Uhhh... or you can travel insanely cheaper on a $4 flight JetBlue flight between Long Beach Airport and Bob Hope Airport in Burbank.
The deal is only available on Saturday, July 16 -- but still, holy crap.
Allison Steinberg, spokeswoman for JetBlue, says the promotion is just "to make our customers happy by giving them an alternative route -- a fun thing we can do for the Long Beach, Burbank and Los Angeles communities."
Our guess is they'll treat their new $4 customers like royalty, in hopes that next time a choice comes up between Southwest and JetBlue, the latter might have a fighting chance. Pretty much confirmed by the company's press release:
"You'll receive some of the best customer service in the industry, you can check a bag free, have the benefit of ample legroom while you tune to one of more than 100 live channels of free TV or radio stations, and snack freely, all while having a birds-eye view of the road congestion you've given up."
JetBlue.com/overthe405 is now live for the booking. Steinberg says there will be a couple small airline fees beyond the $4, but that "we actually are absorbing the cost of some of the fees." (Anyone who actually goes through with checkout: Please let us know what the final cost is. We're intrigued.)
So why not LAX?
"The idea here is that the 405 -- where does that take people?" says Steinberg. "We were thinking they might want to go to the beach." So, uh, Long Beach it is. Could be worse, right? Here are the departure times:
Burbank: 12:20 p.m. and 6:35 p.m..
Long Beach: 1:50 p.m. and 7:55 p.m.

guys,hw do i treat patents in prep of final accounts?
it depends on the context to be honest. If its not mentioned in the workings it goes into the balanced sheet. If it does have workings e.g. patents written off, take away the amount written off which is an expense and put the new figure in the balance sheet after the fixed assets! Theres different workings to do with patents so id really need an example to fully answer your question but hope this helps! This applies to LC as far as i am concerned btw!
thnx sarah..well i hv a question here nd un askd to prepare a statement of financial position nd a TPL....so its bn stated in the trial balance a value of 30000dolars of patents..so where do i record them?
have you been askd to prepare a balance sheet? :/ Because normally patents are recorded just after the fixed assets

John Lackey to Red Sox. 5 years, $85 million. The deal is done.: Angels interested in Matsui.
The deal isn't quite done.
From your link:
Top free agent pitcher John Lackey is said to be in agreement on a five-year, $85 million contract with the Boston Red Sox, sources say. Lackey has scheduled a physical with the team.
Lackey's deal with the Red Sox is similar to the $82.5 million, five-year contract A.J. Burnett got with the Yankees last offseason. "That's what they were looking for,'' an AL executive said.
Lackey has had a couple minor issues with his shoulder and back in recent seasons, so the Red Sox will want to check him out. But nothing serious is expected to be found.
That sounds like not a done deal at this point in time.

He's been slightly better than Beckett over the last 5 years (ERA+128 / 116). I'm guessing the difference between Lackey and Doc for the sox isn't worth the extra money it would take.
And I have no idea how many runs being feared is worth.

Hideki Matsui is a 35 year-old (36 at the start of next season) left fielder who's averaged 107 games over the last 4 years. His fielding is such that he's essentially a DH. I can't see letting him go as a terrible move.

That's because you haven't watched the right movies.

Lackey in Boston will not have to be the #1. He's more likely to be the 3rd starter behind Lester and Beckett. In that spot he could have an excellent season. With Buchholz and a (hopefully) revitalized Matsuzaka, as well as Wakefield, Boston now has 6 who can start. There is also minor league depth in Bowden and Tazawa, both of whom need seasoning but can fill in if needed. Mike Cameron has been added for the outfield, so there is plenty of leather behind the pitchers.
Jason Bay is gone. His agent placed a value that is too high on him, and Boston was unwilling to pay. The big mistake was for Bay's agent, Joe Urbon, to issue an ultimatum. Theo Epstein does not take kindly to this sort of negotiation.
posted by Howard_T at 03:39 PM on December 15
There is also minor league depth in Bowden and Tazawa, both of whom need seasoning but can fill in if needed.
God help us if needed.
I also don't believe the ultimatum was much more than bluster. I think at that point the Red Sox had probably given Urbon enough reasons to be sure Bay wasn't getting what he wanted. The fact that the Lackey and Cameron deals were done so quickly shows that Theo was leaning that way for a while.
And if they DID believe signing Bay for what he wanted was the right move, Theo deciding against it because he got his feelings hurt would be pretty sad. I have more confidence in him than that.
I don't think the Red Sox ever, before the ultimatum, or after, were going to pay Bay what he wanted. Bay's agent thought that they'd eventually change their mind, especially after Halladay signed. He realized that wasn't going to happen and lashed out. But I don't think it affected anything.
posted by justgary at 04:07 PM on December 15
Gary - I think there is a world of difference between Lackey and Halladay. But I also think that it's a better move for Boston as they keep a lot of their young talent and don't have to pay a player price.
posted by WeedyMcSmokey at 05:21 PM on December 15
weed, agreed.
Lackey reminds me of Schilling, a guy who can be real good in the clutch but at other times average.
Halladay is a one man wrecking crew and was on target for the cy before the Jays management circus completely destroyed everything about the team. He still was the best pitcher in the toughest division in baseball .. 21 wins next year doesn't sound unlikely.
posted by cixelsyd at 11:41 PM on December 15
I think there is a world of difference between Lackey and Halladay.
Sure there is. Halladay is a hall of fame pitcher; Lackey isn't. But Halladay is also a better pitcher than Beckett and Lester. That doesn't mean that Beckett, Lester, and Lackey couldn't make a formidable front 3. I think for the Red Sox to take Halladay the Yankees would have stepped in. I think both teams are happy to have him out of the American League.
Lackey reminds me of Schilling, a guy who can be real good in the clutch but at other times average.
Schilling is a borderline hall of famer. He may have never been halladay, but in no way was ever an average pitcher. Not even close.

I was talking to someone recently that claimed she was supposed to do the Princess this year but had to cancel. She said she gave up her bib to someone else. Does Run Disney allow people who have to cancel to sell their spot. Certainly the 22k people signed up wont all show up for whatever reason. I have a friend and relative that would love to do it but waited too long to sign up. Is it possible for them to be able to buy someone else's spot? If so, anyone have a spots for sale?
Some races have a transfer program, but I don't think Disney does. I had to show my ID last year to get my bib. Now, there is a way that someone else can pick up your bib (I think they need a copy of your license), so I suppose the other friend could just pick it up with the first person's ID copy, then just use it. I don't think it is allowed, but I'm also not sure how they'd enforce it. Hope that helps.
From what I understand is that if you do pick up someone else's bib and run the race in their place, they get credit for the run, not you. In other words, the time will show up with the owner of the bib's name associated with it, not the person that actually ran the race. It's a way to run in the race, but you don't get any of the glory of finishing it.
I'm not sure how it works, but I know people sell their spots. As shmoogrrrl says, you do need to show an ID to pick up the bib. The other issue is that if the person you're buying from picks up their bib for you, Disney doesn't have your information on file in case there's some sort of emergency, medical or otherwise. Hopefully some day they will implement a legal bib transfer policy...
They probably picked up the bib and sold it if they were local or gave it toa friend. Often serious runners will not hand the chip over however. This is known as ghost running in the DC area. I have a friend ghost running under someone elses name for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler coming up. Another friend of mine ghost ran the race last year without a chip since the runner was her friend and an elite runner as well they didnt want a different time associated with their name so she only transfered the bib.

Penn State researchers have developed a Living While Black index, which combines the impact of economic, social and health factors affecting African Americans. |
"There are many previous studies on the impact of health, economic, sociological and criminological factors separately," said Gabbidon. "But this study tries to determine whether being Black in America exacts a 'social cost' by being exposed to several stressors that can severely affect the quality of life among Black Americans."
The Penn State researchers constructed a Living While Black index that includes state-level comparisons of Black poverty rates, the number of Black prisoners, the lack of access to health care, homicide rate, infant mortality rate, business earnings of African American-owned firms, and the percentage of non-elderly who are uninsured.
A Quality-of-Life index was also developed: including chronic drinking problem data by state, mental health problems, suicide rate, and shorter life spans.
Using the two indexes, the researchers found that the Blacks' quality of life was negatively affected by the economic factors (Black-owned businesses' sales and the poverty rate) and by death factors (the infant death rate and the homicide rate). But their research also reported that religiosity served as a buffer and reduced the impact of the stressors.
For African American businesses, we may need to study further the relationship between difficulty in business ownership and life stresses such as drinking and mental health problems. It could be that these outcomes are the products of the difficulties of obtaining funds to run their businesses effectively. Such relationships, which are the products of data from state-level measures, warrant additional investigation, Gabbidon noted. "In the interim, though, states might investigate the level of discrimination claims involving bank loans to Black businesses, and whether state commerce agencies are making appropriate levels of support available to new Black businesses," he added.
The number of Black prisoners and the uninsured Black residents who are not elderly were not linked to a negative quality of life, according to the researchers. They said it is likely that African Americans have "normalized" not having health insurance, therefore, it brings on little stress. Moreover, since Blacks, in the short term, are likely more concerned about being arrested than going to jail, they are likely not as stressed as one would anticipate.
The linkage between poverty and economic disadvantage and serious crimes is not new, but the Penn State study strongly illustrates the relationship.
Gabbidon noted, "States may need to invest in community-level programs aimed at keeping at-risk youth away from criminal activities. In addition, adequate levels of alcoholism and mental health counseling services will be necessary. Our research makes it clear that the comprehensive 'Living While Black' stress factors pose a substantial public health issue for all states. Coordinated public health strategies at the economic, health and social levels will pay for themselves over the long run."

Stocks stayed near their session highs with modest gains near midday Tuesday.
The S&P 500 rallied 0.4%, thanks to strength in retail and energy issues. The Nasdaq rose 0.2% and the Dow Jones industrial average climbed 0.4%. Volume was tracking higher across the board in the stock market today compared to the same time Monday.
Restoration Hardware (RH) climbed 4% and cleared its 50-day moving average after having met resistance there Monday. The stock is forming a possible flat base with a 94.60 buy point.
Cavium (CAVM) rallied 2% to an all-time high in fast trade. It cleared a 53.41 buy point from a base-on-base pattern. The San Jose, Calif.-based chip designer was recently featured in Stock Spotlight.
AerCap Holdings (AER) was off its session high but still up 1% in fast trade. Shares were up a little more than 2% but eased after poking above the 50 level. AerCap cleared a 48.91 buy point from a flat base Monday. The aircraft leasing firm will report Q2 results on or around Aug. 28.
On the downside, BitAuto Holdings (BITA) dropped 3% after turning tail from a fresh record high. The stock is on pace to snap a nine-session win streak, but it is still well past a 47.03 buy point from a cup base. Brean Capital started coverage of the Chinese auto information provider with a buy rating and a 95 price target.

he is
one of my favorite people to photograph. that friend of mine, that dan smith.
last week found me on a shoot with my brother-- first to atlanta to an abandoned trainyard off dekalb avenue and then to the outer edges of a crumbly ghostly town in southern illinois. I love my job. even though it occasionally takes me away from my family, I love my job. I love the brainstorming of ideas, the researching of locations. I love the styling, the working out of the details, the finessing of story lines. but mostly, I love working with my brother.
so anyway, dan was at the trainyard in atlanta with us and there was a little bit of 600 polaroid film (such a sad little bit) and a smidge of magic light and if nothing else ever even came out of the shoot but this polaroid, well then I'd still be happy. because polaroid portraits like these make my world go round and round and round.
I do have more to share, so much more.

Blogs and citizen involvement
While blogs are an excellent, free, and widely available option to distribute information, to fully engage the community, we need a diverse communications program that does the best job of reaching as many citizens as possible.
Neighborhood priorities are often set through citizen groups working together the old-fashioned way-in face to face meetings, usually held one evening a month. The internet is a fast paced way to distribute information, but it's doubtful that it will ever take the place of neighbors getting together in person to work on community goals.

The blogs/internet are only as powerful as the Real Life communities they create and empower. Are there any example of bloggers mobilizing In Real Life by neighborhood/ward?
- stlmark said...
I've mentioned similar observations before in posts on my blog. We need a group of urban foot soldiers that can spread the word throughout the community and reach out in other ways. I completely agree with you.
^ Not a new idea.
In 1932, the Urban League of St. Louis began organizing block units -- civic groups of people living on both sides of a single block. They still exist. - 4:53 PM
The reality is that very few residents participate in neighborhood organizations in meaningful ways and most of the work of neighborhood organizations is done by a select group of neighborhood leaders. Additionally, it is extremely rare for any one neighborhood organization to serve the complete set of interests in any one neighborhood. This is not a criticism of neighborhood orgs, but a recognition of their limitations and that a neighborhood, to be diverse and successful, need to rely upon multiple methods and organizations for organizing and empowering residents.
^ Interesting observation.
What are some of the unmeaningful ways neighborhood residents participate in neighborhood organizations?
That seems like sort of a slam. - 1:43 PM
- Rick Bonasch said...
Neighborhood groups vary greatly in their level of activity and the sorts of things they do.
Some have taken the lead in seeking National Register historic district status for their areas. Others have taken the lead serving as community development corporations, rehabbing and building new housing.
What they do is based on each group's unique set of priorities. In a neighborhood city, neighborhood organizations are key stakeholders. - 6:03 AM
Neighbors for Justice in cooperation with Sts Teresa and Bridget are working with neighborhoods in the 3rd,5th,and 19th wards regarding Paul Mckee and LRA owned property. Anyone interested in helping with foot soldier work is welcome. 371-1190 is the number to the church. Please leave contact information.

Neighbors for Justice - 9:30 AM
And it is a good thing that neighborhood groups are not the only stakeholders. Church groups, ward organizations and even city-wide interest groups play a role in setting agendas. The agenda of my neighborhood has been enhanced because the power of the organized neighborhood group has been matched by the influence of other groups that have slightly different perspectives. Just like no one would pay attention to only local bloggers, neither should we expect that neighborhod groups are the only acceptable form of local activism.
^ Interesting observation. It makes you wonder just what the agenda is for a given neighborhood, and who knows it?
And more importantly, who's responsibility is it to make sure goals are accomplished?
Without a clear understanding of roles and responsibilities, little goes according to plan. - 11:42 AM
I totally agree with this post, and would like to report that there is at least some action forming around the issue of the San Luis Apartment building in the CWE, and I believe this same group of blogging urbanists involved in this effort are ready to focus on the threatened areas of north city as well. The Blairmont situation is obviously well-covered in the urbanist blogs, and needless to say we'll need to begin putting action to our concerns.

The last year of the Civil War as seen by the two commanding generals, Grant and Lee. The novel is the final volume in a trilogy, begun by the author's father with The Killer Angels. In the Pulitzer prize-winning classic The Killer Angels, Michael Shaara created the finest Civil War novel of our time, an enduring bestseller that has sold more than two million copies. In the bestselling Gods and Generals, Shaara's son, Jeff, brilliantly sustained his father's vision, telling the epic story of the events culminating in the Battle of Gettysburg. Now, Jeff Shaara brings this legendary father-son trilogy to its stunning conclusion in a novel that brings to life the final two years of the Civil War. As The Last Full Measure opens, Gettysburg is past and the war advances to its third brutal year. On the Union side, the gulf between the politicians in Washington and the generals in the field yawns ever wider. Never has the cumbersome Union Army so desperately needed a decisive, hard-nosed leader. It is at this critical moment that Lincoln places Ulysses S. Grant in command, and turns the tide of war. For Robert E. Lee, Gettysburg was an unspeakable disaster, compounded by the shattering loss of the fiery Stonewall Jackson two months before. Lee knows better than anyone that the South cannot survive a war of attrition. But with the total devotion of his generals; Longstreet, Hill, Stuart, and his unswerving faith in God, Lee is determined to fight to the bitter end. Here too is Joshua Chamberlain, the college professor who emerged as the Union hero of Gettysburg, and who will rise to become one of the greatest figures of the Civil War. Battle by staggering battle, Shaara dramatizes the escalating confrontation between Lee and Grant, complicated, heroic, deeply troubled men. From the costly Battle of the Wilderness to the agonizing siege of Petersburg to Lee's epoch-making surrender at Appomattox, Shaara portrays the riveting conclusion of the Civil War through the minds and hearts of the individuals who gave their last full measure. Full of human passion and the spellbinding truth of history, The Last Full Measure is the fitting capstone to a magnificent literary trilogy.

There are no visible knives, gore, cauldrons or fateful letters. The witches are reduced to female voices that emerge from the silhouettes of the fully assembled twelve-strong company. Yet by the power of paradox and strong theatrical suggestion, Declan Donnellan's superb Cheek by Jowl version of Macbeth has a terrible and transfixing presence.
Like a cross between psychodrama and fierce, fluid modern dance, the production creates a creepily variable sense of time. There are transitions that move with the speed of a slasher's knife; episodes that seem to emerge from the foregoing scenes as though they had been eerily embedded within them like spies; and soliloquies that impart a sickened sensation of temporal suspension. The actors, in their uniform black t-shirts hurtle across Nick Ormerod's spacious, austerely bare set or freeze-frame expressively under the sculptural, noir-like lighting of Jane Greenwood.
For Donnellan, the witches are evidently an emanation of pre-existing guilty desire – visible to Banquo, too, because we all share the same susceptibilities, though some of may choose not to act on them. The production's emphasis is less on the victims of the Macbeths' evil than on the horror of being the Macbeths. For some, this will seem a whitewash of the Stalin-like behaviour of the hero once he becomes king. But Donnellan has listened to the poetry and presents the waking nightmare of the couple's lives after the initial murder and the unravelling of their marriage with a harrowing pathos. Wiry and highly strung, Anastasia Hille's brilliant Lady Macbeth is a woman who, from the start, has to override psychological fragility with a hideously strained firmness of purpose. With his compact physique and humane demeanour, Will Keen's excellent Macbeth shows you a troubled introvert who, in order to survive and preserve his sanity has to retreat into dreadful self-dissociation.
The physicality of the staging is always in the service of psychological penetration. There's a wonderful moment when Lady Macbeth welcomes the (here blind) King Duncan and their outstretched arms form a kind of threshold under which the soliloquising Macbeth ducks as if gaining entry to the next phase of his plot quite literally through a gesture of sheer sacrilegious fraudulence by his wife.
Though in the real world she is severed from him by her madness, in this production Lady Macbeth remains a presence to him. He delivers his later speeches of drained recognition directly to her, wheezing with ironic laughter and stroking her face until the announcement of her death when she matter-of-factly exits leaving him holding only air.
The drunken porter scene is enlivened in its violating comedy by the fact that here the porter is a squiffy female Scot in a tartan mini-skirt who has trouble with her intercom and insists on doing a security check of the visitors with a bleeping body scanner. Highly recommended.

Somerset are delighted to announce that Tim Groenewald, Roelof van der Merwe and Johann Myburgh have all both signed extensions to their current contracts.
Tim is enjoying his best season to date since joining Somerset from Derbyshire in 2014. In the Specsavers County Championship he has taken 33 wickets at 27.48 whilst in the Royal London One-Day Cup he took 15 wickets at 24.40 as well as playing a number of key innings in both formats.
Johann, who also joined Somerset in 2014 has enjoyed a very successful season and currently tops Somerset's Specsavers County Championship batting averages with 234 runs at 58.50, whilst in the Royal London One-Day Cup he averaged 40 from his seven matches.
Roelof has shown just how versatile an all round cricketer he is in all formats since returning to Somerset at the start of this season. He has proven himself to be a genuine three dimensional cricketer, topping the NatWest T20 Blast batting averages, scoring a century in the Specsavers County Championship and taking wickets in all formats, as well as taking some stunning catches.
Tim and Roelof will be remaining with Somerset until at least the end of the 2018 season whilst Johann's extension is until the end of next season.
Shortly after the players signed on the dotted line Somerset Director of Cricket, Matt Maynard said: "All three have played a key part in helping us to enjoy considerable success in the Royal London One-Day Cup and the Specsavers County Championship this year. They still have a lot to offer Somerset and feature heavily in our plans for the future, so I am very pleased that they have committed themselves to being part of what we are trying to achieve."

Riparian vegetation comprises plants which grow half in and half out of or wholly in the water, clearly distinguishable in a natural state from the non-riparian communities behind. Riparian vegetation in British Guiana is classified into swamp forest, swamp woodland, arborescent woodland, arborescent swamp, herbaceous swamp, semi-aquatic swamp and aquatic swamp. Riparian vegetation occurs on a variety of soils on a variety of sites, but the sites are almost continually waterlogged. Natural vegetation is restricted to the upper reaches of the main rivers; the lower reaches carry a disturbed or seral vegetation. Arborescent swamp and relics of mangrove forest are exceptions to the rule in that they appear to be natural and occur in the estuaries. Riparian vegetation in British Guiana falls into four longitudinal zones: (i) mangrove forest; (ii) Bombax-Pterocarpus swamp woodland; (iii) (a) Macrolobium bifolium swamp forest, (b) Inga-Ficus swamp forest; (iv) (a) Macrolobium acaciaefolium swamp forest, (b) Couratari-Myrciaria swamp forest. Previous accounts of riparian vegetation in British Guiana are discussed. Riparian vegetation is described in broad detail by zones as follows: Zone I. (i) Rhizophora mangle forest, (ii) Avicennia nitida forest, (iii) secondary Rhizophora forest, (iv) secondary Avicennia forest. Zone II. (i) Bombax-Pterocarpus woodland, (ii) secondary Bombax-Pterocarpus woodland, (iii) secondary Inga-Triplaris woodland, (iv) arborescent swamp, (v) herbaceous swamp, (vi) semi-aquatic swamp. Zone III. (i) Macrolobium bifolium forest, (ii) secondary Macrolobium bifolium forest, (iii) secondary Cyrilla-Macrolobium forest, (iv) Inga-Ficus forest, (v) myrtle woodland. Zone IV. (i) Macrolobium acaciaefolium forest, (ii) Couratari-Myrciaria forest, (iii) Croton-Inga woodland, (iv) aquatic swamp. Riparian species have a wide zonal distribution complicated by disturbance of the fringing vegetation and by the merging of one zone into another.

I put in these shots of Boomer as he waits for me to feed the birds. He's eleven now. If you check out the mast head photo, you can see the additional white in his ear area. The cast in his eye is a slight cataract. Boom does however have wolf eyes, which naturally reflect light, especially at night. He's slower so we take it easier now. Let's face it I'm slower also.

U.S.money market assets increased in latest week: iMoneyNet
NEW YORK U.S. money market fund assets increased by $5.47 billion to $2.632 trillion in the week ended March 28, the Money Fund Report said on Wednesday.
After 23 years of being the smelly wet dog of global markets Japan may be at a turning point.
With many massively, and understandably, short on Japan, the possibility that new policies actually work, or fail memorably, means investors are carrying considerable, and growing, risk. Now might be a prudent time to move closer to a benchmark allocation, which for most of us means putting money back in Japan.
A set of radical new fiscal and monetary policies being pushed by newly-minted Prime Minister Shinzo Abe might finally succeed in bringing inflation and growth back to Japan, but also could easily end in a financing or banking crisis.
Abe has advocated "unlimited" easing by the Bank of Japan, while at the same time going so far as to lay plans for the government to buy and lease back plants to troubled firms as a means of support and to spur capital investment.
Abe also advocates a weaker yen to make Japanese exporters more competitive. Global markets think he means business, driving down the yen's value against the dollar by more than ten percent since mid-November, when his victory in elections first seemed secure.
That has been great for Japan's exporter-heavy stock market, which has risen almost 20 percent since mid-November and 23 percent in 2012, its best year in seven.
Here is the key point to grasp: whether Abe is successful in rescuing Japan almost doesn't matter. The radical new policies raise the chances of a big move in Japanese equities up or down, making the risks of being short or long greater.
If you can see the future, go ahead and go all-in or all-out. For the rest of us, it is probably a good time to lighten up our bets.
And our bets are almost certainly mostly one way. You are probably seriously underweight Japan, and let's face it, you have had plenty of reason to be short.
Over the past year global fund managers have made their biggest negative bet an underweight on Japan shares, according to a survey by Merrill Lynch. And while Japan shares comprise 15 percent of global equity capitalization, individual investors too tend to be underweight, in part because they are simply under-diversified internationally, but also because Japan has appeared to be such a basket case.
So, whether you are clever or just lucky being light on Japan has worked out brilliantly, as it has been a toxic mixture of volatile and weak. After peaking just below 39,000 at the end of the bubble year of 1989 - yes 23 years ago - the Nikkei 225 index has been on a grinding trip lower, shedding investors as it fell, leaving it below 9,000 as recently as November.
Besides suffering from an aging population and sclerotic economy at home, Japan has really suffered since 2009 as an export-oriented economy with an overvalued currency, with the yen supported by safe-haven flows. (safe-haven?)
Abe's mix of policy is remarkable, both in its boldness and in the risks it carries. He has pressed the BOJ to double its inflation target to 2.0 percent and to greatly expand its program of buying up government bonds. He has threatened to push through legislation impairing BOJ independence, a step he's unlikely to be forced to take. Abe's been explicit about wanting a lower yen, with other members of his cabinet shrugging off criticism from trading partners.
The new policy, in essence, is to force the yen lower, supporting exporters. That's nominally bad for the value of Japanese stocks, which are of course denominated in yen, but a 5.0 or 10.0 ten percent hit to the yen will be far outweighed by the rush of profits if exports pick up.
That could keep the explosive rally of the past couple of months going.
If you are 20 percent underweight in a market that outperforms the rest of the world by 20 percentage points you are going to have some explaining to do to your clients.
As well, looked at on a price-to-sales basis Japanese shares cost only a third of the U.S. peers, making them the cheapest in the developed world. But Tokyo stocks have been cheap for two decades, making the Nikkei the place where value investors go to die.
The downside is that, while the Japanese people are rich, its government is deeply in hock, with debt about 240 percent of gross domestic product, dwarfing that of the United States. There is a significant risk that Japanese bondholders sell up if Abe is actually successful in fanning even a little bit of inflation. That could lead to a damaging spike in inflation, a financing crisis or a banking crisis, as Japan's banks, which ultimately the government must insure, own huge amounts of government debt.
Risk truly is two-way, and the chances of a big move seem large.
Putting money back to work, getting closer to a neutral allocation and cutting risk is probably the best play.

Couple counseling can help couples who are considering cohabitation, pre-marital discussion of expectations, relationship difficulities, communication issues, and sepation/divorce recovery. We believe where there is effort there is hope. Unfortunately, many relationships fail prematurely due to the lack of skills helpful in maintaining intimacy and closeness. We help couples discover their expectations, beliefs and values.

Head of a horse of Selene
Acropolis, Athens, 438-432 BC
From the east pediment of the Parthenon
Scanned from the original marble in the British Museum August 2012 by Cosmo Wenman, using AutoDesk 123D Catch.
Edited for printing using Blender and Netfabb Studio Basic.
Printed life size in PLA on a MakerBot Replicator.
Finshed in Epic Bronze with Alternate Reality Patinas. http://www.alternaterealitypatinas.com
Model published into the public domain October 2012.
I made these pieces in an attempt to show that, with the right finishes and attention to detail, 3D printers can produce objects of art worthy of public and private display. Not just miniature figurines, or toys, or practical household objects, and not just prototypes. They can do more than evoke the desired object, they can be objects of desire.
But I chose these subjects in particular--elemental, archetypal museum pieces--to try to advance a different but complementary idea; that with 3D scanning and 3D printing, private collectors and museums have an unprecedented opportunity to recast themselves as living engines of cultural creation. They can digitize their three dimensional collections and project them outward into the public realm to be adapted, multiplied, and remixed.
They should do this because the best place to celebrate great art is in a vibrant, lively, and anarchic popular culture. The world's back catalog of art should be set free to run wild in our visual, and now tactile, landscape, and whether it turns up lit in pixels on our screens, rematerialized in our living rooms, or embedded in our architecture or clothing, it's all to the good.
And for forward-thinking, innovative institutions and collectors, and for everyone involved in this young industry, there's prestige, money, value, meaning, and beauty to be made in making it a reality.
From the British Museum:
"One of the best loved sculptures from the Parthenon
The east pediment of the Parthenon shows the birth of the goddess Athena from the head of her father Zeus. The event was witnessed by various figures shown on either side and filling the triangular space of the gable end of the temple. In the very corners of this triangle, the time of day was set by the chariot of Helios, god of the sun, rising at dawn, and the chariot of Selene, the Moon goddess, sinking beneath the horizon. Selene's torso is in Athens, while the head of one of her team of horses is in the British Museum.
This is perhaps the most famous and best loved of all the sculptures of the Parthenon. It captures the very essence of the stress felt by a beast that has spent the night drawing the chariot of the Moon across the sky. As the unseen vehicle was shown sinking low in the west, the horse pins back its ears, the jaw gapes, the nostrils flare, the eyes bulge, veins stand out and the flesh seems spare and taut over the flat plate of the cheek bone." - http://bit.ly/gy7A4S
I've seen a few references which state that plaster casts of this sculpture were extremely popular in the 19th century, but I haven't found any contemporaneous sources for that claim. But I can believe it - it is extremely expressive, and stirring in person, and I hope my reproduction captures and transmits at least some of that.
I find David Hockney's theories on the precocious use of lenses in Renaissance art very compelling. But living with this damned horse on my screen, and then in my house, for the last two months, it's hard to imagine how the original could have been designed two millenia ago without photography, let alone lenses. Its expression is so exacting, just an instant in time, I can't see how it could be modeled by eye from a live horse, or even a dead one. Maybe a contour gauge on a carcass with rigor mortis, but I don't see that either, not with this expressiveness and movement.
I imagine a Greek guy walking around 2,000 years ago with a camera obscura with some kind of light sensitive papyrus inside, trying to raise funds to get his light enscribing machine into mass production. Alas, there was no Kickstarter back then.
Or, maybe the artist and horse in bright sunlight, the artist covering his eyes. The horse's handler startles it into motion, and the artist opens his eyes for an instant, closes them again, then draws quickly with his eyes shut while the image fades in his retinas - the lens, film, and darkroom being his eyes... I dunno - either that or weeks of careful study, scores of sketches of impressions of a horse in motion, composited into this exacting model. But that doesn't sound like as much fun.
[Clarification: I don't really think ancient Greeks had cameras. I was just having some fun, and if my comments are taken as expressing anything other than admiration of the original artistry, then they're being misread. Or I miswrote them. Or something. Hi BoingBoing!]
(Yes, I'm aware that this is the kind of amateur analysis that is going to bust loose over the next couple years with more direct, popular access to these kinds of forms, and that it may cause many academics and curators to completely lose their minds. Just wait until the ancient aliens theorists get hold of this stuff. It's gonna be great!)
Based on all the information I could find, and on my own measurements, I've sized the model at 83cm long, measured along its longest length. I believe this is 1:1 with the museum's marble, but I'd have to put a measuring tape on the original to be certain, and I'm sure that would just get me yelled at...
The loose .stl file is of the entire horse head, "decimated" by 50% so its file size is more managable. One of the .zip files contains the full resolution model, which has over 1 million triangles, which may be overkill - but that's how I roll :) The other .zip file contains the hi res model broken into 29 printable blocks, many of which are pretty large prints.
I printed the pieces in PLA, hollow, 4 shells thick, and with .28mm layer heights, and it took many days of continuous printing. I can't even remember how many days it took, and I can barely remember the days it took to bronze and patina it - it's all a blur.
I'm working on a way to make these metalized patina finishes easily available, and easy to use. Look for Alternate Reality Patinas, http://www.AlternateRealityPatinas.com soon.
Cosmo Wenman
Because these are large pieces, the slightest warping makes for big misalignments; assembling the pieces is no small task. If I were to print it again, I would recut the model into less block-like pieces - more like shells - and print them a bit thicker. At only four walls thick, the model's larger, flatter exterior walls are very sensitive to temperature - it can't be left in direct sunlight.

Love this!
is the full Blend file (uncut) available?
I'll share my idea: people are using the fracture modifier to make Veronoi like models using the fracture lines where they lie on the surface and eroding the center of the n-gon faces. Looks great. How about just using fracture to generate irregular but printable chunks of the sculpture?? The edges would essentially be randomly shaped, rather like veins in Marble. Would like to print in same orientation to match layer lines so a lot more support.
May I have the full bust model blend file?
I guessed at what "Remix It" meant "melt it down to recycle; I don't want it"
very nice work, what did you use to slice the project up to insure you got proper fitting parts
One of these days I'll do a complete write-up or video of the process: Using Blender, pose and edit your model, and scale it to the correct size. Then arrange cubes contiguously over it that are sized to your printer's build volume. Use the Boolean "intersect" modifier to merge and convert each print-area block into a printable segment of the model.
thanks for the input, will see if I can figure it out
Beautiful work, looking forward to hearing more about Alternate Reality Patinas ;)
How did you assemble the parts before finishing? Did you use an adhesive or just heat?
Hi. Did you consider making "puzzle" like (sorry, I do not know the proper terminlology in English) to help matching the pieces, instead of flat surfaces?
If you look at my other piece, the Alexander Portraits (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:32338)http://www.thingiverse.com/thi..., I cut some zig-zags in some of those pieces to help line them up with each other more easily during assembly. Doing so can allow you to conceal joints, or break them up visually, but adds a lot of work to the onscreen design task. It also winds up wasting build volume capacity - you get smaller pieces, as their extents overlap - and requires more pieces.
On this large piece, because there were so many pieces, I just made all the joints straight lines.
Thanks for showing the head in London and thanks for sharing the file! A stunning piece.
One of my first questions at 3dprintshow, when this model will be available on thingiverse ? Â thank you :)
Brilliant, well done. Truly a wonderful project, and one that my students will try to replicate. Thank-you again.Â
Also how much plastic did you use and why not ABS?
 I didn't track the amount of material used, but I think it was between 3 and 4 kilos of PLA. I used PLA because it does not split on larger prints (Larger ABS objects crack and pull themselves apart as they cool.)
what kind of faux bronze and patina process/materials did you use? Â came out great!
Thanks. I used Alternate Reality Patinas - http://www.alternaterealitypatinas.comhttp://www.alternaterealitypat... - Coming soon!
Thanks. I used Alternate Reality Patinas - http://www.AlternateRealityPatinas.comhttp://www.AlternateRealityPat... - coming soon!
tI would be interesting if someone would/could make a higher temp PLA. I've had a few things go squiggly left in a car for too long.
I made a set of PLA surfboard fins that I ruined by leaving in my car's glove compartment.
Also, don't work with PLA in the sun either - at least not thin-walled pieces. I learned this the very hard way.

Jewish World Review May 9, 2005 / 30 Nisan, 5765 Home, Sweet Home By Mort Zuckerman
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Check your water cooler or dinner party conversations. These days, everyone's talking about the soaring prices of residential property. The market is on steroids. Prices have been rising at the fastest rate in five decades, double digits in most markets: up by 27 percent last year in California, over 20 percent in Florida, 15 percent in New York, 35 percent in Nevada. Compare all this with the three-year average annual return in a typical diversified stock fund, which has been about 5 percent or so, and you know why people are all stoked about the home real-estate market.
It is all very reminiscent of the fever of the "new economy" stock market in the late 1990s. Today, housing has replaced tech stocks as the hot way to accumulate wealth for the some 70 percent of American families who own homes, the result of an 11 million increase in households that own their own homes since 1993. Given our low interest rates and the jump of about 50 percent in all home prices over the past five years, it has been possible for many Americans to turn their home ownership into cash machines, through equity loans or mortgage refinancing, at a time when the stock market has been languishing. Last year, Americans took out about $225 billion of their home equity, and even more in 2002 and 2003. Half of that was saved, and half was spent.
Rising home equity has propped up family net worth, leaving millions of Americans to feel they can afford to spendhence the consumer spending that's buoying the economy. The appreciation of home prices is estimated to have been responsible for about a quarter of America's economic growth over the past four yearsas well as about 70 percent of the increase in net household wealth. No wonder the number of people who think this is a good time to buy is at a 20-year high.
Speculation. The purchase of second homes made up a record 36 percent of all home purchases last year, according to the National Association of Realtors13 percent for vacation use and 23 percent for investment. That's three times the percentages just five years ago. Reflecting increased speculation, existing homes are turning over 50 percent faster than the average of the previous decade.
Can the good news continue, or is this a bubble? Well, there are some signs of trouble. The increase in adjustable-rate mortgages is one. It means more people are stretching to keep upand if rates rise quickly, buyers with relatively short adjustment periods may be forced to sell. Second, a lot of pent-up demand has already been satisfied. Third, prices have risen to levels that make homes much less affordable today. Fourth, interest rates are on the rise, increasing the costs of buying and owning real estate. Fifth, new-housing starts are slightly in excess of sales. All these raise the possibility of a slowdown in the market.
But there's also some good news. Average U.S. home prices haven't declined basically since the Great Depression, even though there have been regional setbacks.
Housing prices dropped in the oil patch in the mid-1980s and in Silicon Valley after the dot-com bubble burst. The residential market often pauses after bursts like the ones we're now experiencing, so there's some vulnerability in areas where housing prices have risen extraordinarily fast, particularly if a downturn hits the local economies.
Nevertheless, people don't sell their homes as quickly as they do stocks, making any kind of sharp drop much less likelyespecially given the tax advantages of homeownership and the continuation of remarkably low long-term interest rates. Furthermore, the good job and income growth we now have should support the current market. And there are all those between the ages of 30 and 44, who represent the prime market for new homes, particularly for second homes bought with an eye toward investment and retirement. And don't forget our unprecedented wave of immigration. That accounted for more than a third of our household formation in the past decade and explains the fact that 40 percent of new homeowners during the same period were minorities.
What we're seeing today is a re-enactment of a historic American homeowning tradition. Of course, homeowners who count on increasing their equity stake have to calculate that they need five years of residency at least before their mortgage payments can get past the point where they are mostly for interest. But that's very similar to the traditional period for building an equity stake in most investments.
When America expanded from its coastal fringe, the government encouraged settlement by offering 160 acres that a homesteader could purchase by working the land for five years. It was the single most important stimulus for building a new nation of property owners. Today, homeownership has become the single most important element in the widest participation in an era of rising wealth. This is an ownership society for real.

First time Slovakia have played in the world cup as a team; although this side was once part of the Czechoslovakia squad. Slovakia didn't display too many spectacular performances on their way to South Africa, but they were able to do all that was needed. Now they will be hoping to make their first appearance in the World Cup something to remember. They will be hoping that New Zealand prove to be an easy introduction to the group.

VS Saturday, 12 June 2010 England vs USA 20:30 World cup 2010 Group C will see their first game kicked off on June 12, 2010 when England will take on United States at Rustenburg. It will be a clash of the two best teams in the Group and most probably be the ones, who will move into the round of 16. Do Watch England Vs USA online, as it may end up being an exciting encounter. England definitely has the edge in this game, not only due to the better quality of players, both defensive and offensive ones, but they have been in great form losing only one of their qualifier games. However, USA also did impressively in their qualification stages and managed to top their group. If you consider the presence of some of the players, who have played in England before and may know their players, it is going to be a good action up for grab Click Here to Watch the 2010 FIFA World Cup Online Italian Coach, Fabio Capello, has incorporated a new lease of life in the English side, ever since the departure of Steven McLaren. Players like Jermaine Defoe, Gareth Berry, Theo Walcott, Aaron Lennon, Wes Brown, Glen Johnson, Ledley King and Darren Bent have released pressure, which was their on the other members of the squad. Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Michael Carrick and Rio Ferdinand have now got a new seed of confidence in them. It is visible in the way that they have been romping over their opponents. And with a 7 wins and no loss record over USA already, you can expect the pressure to be right there on their opponent. Bob Bradley and his men would be looking forward to turn the tide in their favor. They have players, who have made names in both international and domestic levels. The standards set by Tim Howard, Carlos Bocanegra, Heath Pearce, Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley, Clint Dempsey, Brian Ching and Frankie Hejduk is a good indication of the fact that if the English side will take this game lightly, they will be up for a surprise. With a near perfect head-to-head record, England will be hoping to push aside USA. However, the style of their opponents will make life tough for them.

Good Monday Morning Flash Fictionados!!
Well, I hope everyone had a great weekend! I got to go prom dress shopping Saturday. Found my son's girlfriend the most gorgeous dress at a little shop in Decatur IL called "It's A Girl Thing". It's a great little boutique, I love it!! This will be my daughter's last prom, her boyfriend graduates this spring. It's my son's second prom... he's a junior this year, but I don't think his girlfriend will let me shop for her again next year... only this year because my daughter needed a dress. I was able to find her an amazing deal, the gowns in It's A Girl Thing are beautiful, breathtaking. It's where we purchase that gorgeous gown my daughter wore last year to prom. I wish I'd found it sooner and that I had more reasons to shop there!
On the downside, my daughter got up Sunday morning with pink eye!! After we went shopping, she went to her boyfriend's house. He had pink eye last week, but he stayed home until the infection was gone. Unfortunately, his nephew must have been infected because she hugged and kissed the little guy who also got up Sunday with pick eye. It's been a really long weekend, lol! Now cleaning everything, wiping door knobs, and making her stay in her room. And lots of hand washing!! Hope no one else picks it up... I so tired of trying to kill off germs....lol...first the flu now pick eye...
Anyway, since it's Monday, it's time for another edition of....
The image for this week will hopefully shake up what we've been doing with our flashes!! LOL I've only attempted a flash with this type of image once. I really liked doing it, but it was really difficult for me to write. If anyone wants to see how I wrote mine, click here. I hope I have time for write for this flash, because I think the image is freaking awesome. And I know what I'd like to write. I just need more minutes, lol
It's a fantasy anime image, and I'll let you decide how to proceed, what the image means....
And for an alternative...
Dragons! (We could see more dragons next week, I found some gorgeous images!!)
Dragons are always great for the imagination, and I found some wonderful images. This one is fantastic with the huge dragon filling sky. Hope everyone finds something appealing with one or both of the images.
Have a great week!!

I think I can work the dragon image to the story I have going a lot easier than the men. We'll see what comes up. :)

I scooped up a couple 2008 UD Masterpieces Al Kaline parallels recently.
The green /75 and brown /100.
On an unrelated note; I won't be hooping, working out, walking normally, or any other activity that requires two good ankles.
That's my left ankle. The sewingmachinegal said, "kinda looks like a zombie ankle".
The sewingmachinekid said, "looks like you met that lady from Misery".
This happened Monday night. I am still on crutches. Today, the foot and ankle are very discolored. Greenish, purple and blue shades. Very swollen, and gross looking.
The doc says there's no fracture, just a severe sprain. "You can resume running, jumping, and cutting in 4-6 weeks".
This is the third major injury I have sustained playing hoops in the last three years. Broken ribs. Torn calf muscle. Now this.
I gotta think about what I'm trying to put this 44 year old body through.

out of 100
Metascore®Generally favorable reviewsbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
Pierson, with his carrot-thin frame, gogglish specs, and gnashingly quick temper, traipses around Taveuni like the king of the white-man geeks, alternately proclaiming the saintliness of his crusade and throwing tantrums whenever somebody else fails to sufficiently recognize it.
Read Full Review
It's an engrossing and often very funny tale.
The Piersons went, they showed movies, they returned. Taveuni is more or less the same. But by living and coping together for a year, the family is probably stronger and richer.
Since Reel Paradise doesn't make the mistake of lionizing Pierson while it keeps up with him and his family, the results stay with you, like memories of an unexpected and surprising vacation.
