The Apple of Our Eye
There are plenty of reasons to love this company, and the underlying trends will last for years.
We love Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). It's a great company and a beacon of innovation for the entire technology industry.
As for the stock, we previously asserted that the shares were extremely cheap. However, we suggested waiting until the stock dropped down to $550 before entering a new position. That has now happened.
The shares have fallen by more than 20% in about a month. We think the recent selling is completely unwarranted and is instead a result of profit-taking ahead of a potential tax hike. This means that the recent move lower has almost nothing to do with the fundamentals of Apple's business operations.
Apple stands to clean up from one of the biggest trends in the world-smartphones. Data compiled by Barron's shows that smartphones have decimated PC growth since 2008. Moreover, unit total and total value of sales is higher than that for PCs for the first time.
There's no doubt the "smartphone revolution" stemmed from Apple, which sold more than 20 million iPhones in 2009. Apple increased that amount to 39.9 million units in 2010 and 72 million units during 2011. Management expects to sell nearly 125 million iPhones in 2012.
In addition to the growth from smartphones, Apple also enjoys the top perch in the tablet market-a segment that may also overtake PCs soon.
Now below $550, the shares are insanely cheap. The stock has a P/E ratio of 11 times 2013 EPS of $50.13 and 9.5 times $58.70, which is the projected EPS for 2014.
Moreover, Apple stock yields 1.8%, making it a perfect fit for our portfolio, which concentrates on dividend and technology companies.
We can't know for sure if the drop below $550 will represent "the" bottom, but we can't pass on this opportunity to buy America's favorite (and perhaps best run) company at such a discount either.Editor's Note: This article was written by Ian Wyatt of Top Stock Insights.

Walden sparkles as Fishers blank Sea DogsBy ALLEN LESSELS
New Hampshire Union Leader
May 14. 2013 10:35PM
MANCHESTER — Marcus Walden's best and longest outing of the season led New Hampshire to a 3-0 win on Tuesday night at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in the first of two dozen games between the Fisher Cats and Portland Sea Dogs this season.
Walden allowed only two hits in his 7 2/3 innings and improved his record to 2-4. He struck out six and walked two.
John Stilson closed it out for the save. He allowed a two-out hit in the ninth and struck out the other four batters he faced.
The Fisher Cats are now 18-21. The Sea Dogs, who lead the Eastern Division, fall to 22-14.
This three-game set continues tonight at 6:35.
Portland did not get a hit until Peter Hissey singled to center with two outs in the sixth.
The Fisher Cats struck for a pair of runs off starter Drake Britton in the bottom of the fourth to open the scoring. John Tolisano had a leadoff double and Kevin Pillar and Clint Robinson delivered run-scoring singles.
Fisher Cats manager Gary Allenson was not in attendance. He left for his home in Florida on Tuesday afternoon to deal with a family matter.

Concession stand at Pelham's Raymond Park proposed
By ADAM SWIFT
Union Leader Correspondent
— The Parks and Recreation Department wants to use money raised by the soccer and lacrosse programs to build a new concession stand at Raymond Park.
Parks and Recreation Director Brian Johnson said the department is looking to put the project out to bid and estimates the total cost will be between $60,000 and $70,000.
Johnson said once the department gets a bid on concrete for the project, he will be able to determine whether additional money will have to be raised for the project or if it will be scaled down.
"We want to have a concession stand and storage at the fields like we do at Muldoon Park," said Johnson.
Once the septic design for the project is completed, the town will then be able to put the entire project out for competitive bids.
Edmund Gleason, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, asked whether any of the work on the project could be done by volunteers.In order to make sure the building is up to code and there are no safety liabilities, Johnson said the town would be better off putting it out for the competitive bids.
Town Manager Tom Gaydos said that when it gets to the point where the project will go out to bid, he and Johnson will come back before selectmen to update them on the process.

Tigers secure fourth over spirited Sharks
It took them the full 80 minutes to secure victory, but tonight the Wests Tigers managed to cross the threshold and earn fourth position with a tense 30-22 win over Cronulla in front of 16,879 fans at Toyota Stadium.
The old adage "one team dominates general play, the opposition scores" was in play early on, as Cronulla were all over the Tigers in attack, but it was the hosts' defence that let them down as the visitors ran in two early tries to take an 8-0 lead.
Before long, winger John Williams bought the Sharks close and the benefits of his goalkicking availability saw the side just two points behind after 20 minutes. The Tigers' ability to create something out of nothing then saw them push back ahead by 8 points, with Tim Moltzen on the end of a beautiful long-range effort started by Rob Lui and Blake Ayshford.
Some Jeremy Smith brilliance put the Sharks in the box-seat once again nearing halftime, with Stewart Mills the beneficiary on this occasion to close the gap to two until a Lote Tuqiri try before the break maintained the eight point margin in favour of the Tigers.
The Sharks struck quickly after the break, reducing the margin once again and the pattern continued through the rest of the game, the Tigers eventually clearing to 26-18 through some Robbie Farah brilliance. The Sharks made a race of it late in the game with John Williams grabbing his second try, but a Robbie Farah hat-trick effort before fulltime generated the final margin of... you guessed it - 8 points.
The win sets up a tantalising opening to the 2011 Finals Series, with the NRL tonight confirming the Wests Tigers v St George Illawarra Dragons 4th v 5th Qualifying Final will be played at ANZ Stadium at 7:45pm. Cronulla will move on to the 2012 pre-season with their eyes firmly on securing their maiden premiership in their 45th year.

CHANGES are in - for the home side Cronulla, fullback Issac Gordon is OUT, replaced by Nathan Stapleton. Taulima Tautai drops off the bench, with Ben Pomeroy making the cut.
For the visiting Tigers it's curtains for Beau Ryan and Keith Galloway, both out of tonight's clash with corks. Mitch Brown (wing) and Aaron Woods (prop) are their replacements, the new bench players being Ben Murdoch-Masila and veteran back Wade McKinnon.

HALFTIME a Toyota Stadium, it's a try-a-thon here, six scored in total, four for the Tigers and two Cronulla. The Sharks will remain a threat as long as the Tigers' defence remains relatively weak.

An English professor at Dartmouth used to say, "I don't really know what I think until I write it." He was referring to the fact that thoughts crystallize when subjected to the rigors of the English language and its rules of usage and grammar. And he was paying homage to the magic of the lonely, and in his mind sacred, encounter between author and (in those days) paper.
Scott McClellan seems to be relying on the same point. He claims that he did not set out to write a memoir sharply critical of the administration but that in the process of actually writing the book, the scales dropped from eyes. This would explain, I suppose, why McClellan's book so flatly contradicts many of his public (and to colleagues, private) pronouncements. He never really knew what he thought until he wrote it.
There are a few problems with this defense, however. First. my English professor wasn't making the absurd claim that facts change when you write them. Second, McClellan's book is not the product of a lonely encounter with his keyboard; he had help. The help came from, among others, Peter Osnos, a former Washington Post writer. Osnos is the head of the liberal publishing company that published McClellan's book. It is he who helped transform McClellan's early concept — a "not very interesting , typical press secretary book" — into a vitriolic attack on the Bush White House.
Osnos denies that he ghost-wrote or heavily edited McClellan's book. However, he does take credit for making sure that the book "pass[ed] our test for independence, integrity, and candor."
The question then becomes, what would that test look like as applied by Osnos. Here, we encounter the fact that, according to Brett Baker of Newsbusters, Osnos' publishing house is affiliated with the far-left The Nation magazine and is the publisher of books by George Soros. It also published The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder. Since that book apparently passed Osnos' test for integrity and candor, one can infer that McClellan's original account of his time in the Bush administration did not, and that a major shift in tone and content was required of him before the book could see the light of day. In this regard, Osnos admits to having worked very closely with McClellan and the book's official editor, Lisa Kaufman.
Based on this information, and perhaps on his time at the White House too, one might truly say that Scott McClellan never really knows what he thinks until someone else tells him what that ought to be.
UPDATE: Some may wonder whether bloggers know what they think before they write it. Bloggers actually rely on a different sort of magical process: we not only know what we think before we write it, we know what we think before it happens.
Seriously, though, as a blogger and writer of legal briefs, I've learned to think in complete paragraphs. But the paragraphs often do change, or lead to additional paragraphs, when it comes time to write them.

Dropping Round Into the Chamber
Have a question for you techy types that get into the science of ammo: Read an article, "Ammunition Failure Warning," http://www.bluesheepdog.com/2012/03/...ilure-warning/ I have read about bullet setback issues but a comment in this article stated, "when loading the weapon, load from the magazine and do not drop the round directly into the chamber." So what's the difference if you drop a round into a revolver cylinder vs a pistol barrel? Also, why would it make a difference if the round is dropped in or rammed in from the pistol slide?

Some auto pistols require the cartridge to ride up the feed ramp to properly engage the extractor. If the extractor is not engaged, the round may faile to extract the fired case when fired.
I've loaded rounds into the chamber with a Colt Gold Cup without a hitch, but made sure I let the slide slam forward without "riding" it forward with my hand.
But my knowledge of auto loaders gained over the years would not fill a thimble compared to others on this forum.

In a revolver, there is not an extractor that must "slide" over the cartridge rim. The revolver extractor is an integral part of the cylinder (double action revolver). In a SA revolver there is no extractor per se, and only one method of loading the cylinder. In a semiauto pistol, an extractor must slide or "jump" over the cartridge rim when the slide moves forward. There are theories that the point of impact will differ if the slide is eased forward over a previously seated cartridge vs allowing the slide to strip the cartridge from the magazine, or that extraction will be more certain or reliable if the slide is allowed to move forward stripping the first round from the magazine.

Extractors can be forced around a cartridge rim, there's no denying that, but it's bad on the extractor to do that...probably some guns more than others. Some extractors can break despite being incredibly harder than the brass case they're slammed against. The movement of an extractor is not intended to be pushed out and around a rim and it's been told to me that it will mess with the mechanisms behind the extractor as well.
Basically, as posts 2 and 3 describes, the natural or intended way to load a round in the chamber is from a magazine so that the movement of the slide going into battery can guide a round up into the extractor's grasp as it enters the chamber. I wouldn't slam the slide on my 1911 around a chambered round I put in because there's no natural resistance and it's pretty much the same as slamming the slide on an empty chamber.
Can you get by with slamming your extractor around the rim of your manually inserted cartridge? Probably. Are extractors easy to replace, sure. Are you risking a reduction in shell extraction consistency? Possibly. Would you like to run the risk of FTEs when your life is on the line? I wouldn't.
I was faced with this debate and I err'd on the side of caution because you can't know from the testimony of others how your gun will fare. Also, it's not a big deal to load that +1 via the mag, then top off the mag and do your loaded check before you leave the house.

There was a thread about this not long ago. When chambering a round from the magazine, in most autos the case rim slides under and up into the extractor. When manually loading the round into the chamber and releasing the slide, the extractor hits the back of the case rim and rides over it rather than the case sliding up into it. It is said that this can put excess wear and stress on the extractor overtime. Certain guns like the Beretta 92 are designed to be manually loaded if need be, and is perfectly safe for the extractor to drop a slide on a manually chambered round.

I'll convert to the mag load vs the drop in for that extra round in the chamber. Then remove the mag and insert another round into the mag. Good reply details, thanks.

You probably don't need this, but you can see how the round gets loaded into the extractor at the 3 second mark in this video. No wear, no tear.

Not a "techy type" but I do have a few decades of experience. Basically what happens is that dropping a round into a revolver chamber is gentle, and only gravity assists.
Now, when you do that in an auto pistol, it is the same thing, until the slide closes. Now, some pistol designs allow for the extractor to flex or pivot to snap over the rim of the case. Others do not.
And, closing the slide has complications also, depending on the manner used. If you ease the slide forward, and the extractor doesn't snap over the rim easily, then the slide may not go fully into battery.
Conversely, allowing the slide to slam forward on the round has risks as well, dependant on the specific design of the pistol. If the extractor isn't designed (or modified) to snap over the rim, you risk breakage. If the firing pin isn't designed to be held, or if the sping holding it is too weak, it could slam forward and fire the round. The slide moves significantly faster when it isn't pushing a round into the chamber, and what is safe when loading a round may not be if the slide is let slam shut on a chambered round. Also, even if there is no risk of firing, the slide slamming shut may drive the round too deeply into the chamber, with the issues that causes...
It depends on both the design, and the condition of the gun, what is, or is not safe. Loading from the magazine is the intended method for all the autos I know of (and I know quite a few). Some of them will allow safely single loading without risk, others will not. I have one semi auto where the manual specifically forbids letting it slam shut on a chambered round.
As to the risk of bullet setback in am auto pistol, this does not happen with properly constructed ammunition. Even when the round is fed over and over again. With correct neck tension, the bullets doesn not get pushed back.
HOWEVER, not all rounds are built to that rigorous standard. And even rounds from the big name ammo companies can escape the proper QC, and have enough neck tension to be loaded once in perfect safety but suffer setback from repeated feedings. It does happen.
Making rounds well enough to survive multiple chamberings is quite do able, but might not be done, as it is always a cost/benefit thing. I have personally seen a single .45acp round chambered thousands of times over a couple decades, to the point where the nickle plated case had brass streaks all over it from the nickle wearing through. That bullet never moved. And when the owner finally did fire it, it fed and fired perfectly. It can be done. The fact that not all ammo is made to this high standard does not mean that some isn't, even today.
And a good reloader can make their ammo perform just as well.
All else being equal (and it almost never is) bigger bullets tend to work better.

Dropping a round into the chamber of a 1911 can damage the extractor. It's designed to feed from the magazine. A 92FS can be loaded into the bbl by hand. The extractor on the Beretta has a spring that allows it to ride over the rim of the cartridge. The extractor on the 1911 is hand tuned by bending it to get the correct tension on it, loading one in the chamber and letting the slide slam will probably load but sooner or later you'll see extraction/ejection problems.

Yeah a Beretta 92FS is the only one I know of that talks about how you can load one directly into the chamber without a magazine, in case you lose a magazine you can still use it loading 1 round at a time with no need for a magazine. Since it's a combat weapon makes sense. If a soldier for whatever reason losses a magazine, or one is faulty, the soldier can still load rounds one at a time directly into chamber with the Beretta M9/92FS. Part of the Beretta open slide design.

Ruger also states in their manuals that at least some of the P-Series pistols can be direct-chamber loaded.
Basically, if the manual doesn't state it is acceptable, it's not a good idea.
Do you know about the TEXAS State Rifle Association?

My Ruger P90's manual, for instalnce, specifically recommends dropping a round in the chamber for single loading.

I don't see a reason why anyone would want to do that in the first place.
External extractors for the most part, are easier to do this with.
Internal extractors for the most part, are harder to..and more likely susceptible to damage.
Me? I don't do it.

FWIW, one of the tests the Army ran on the 1911 before it became the 1911 was to be sure the forward movement of the slide would let the extractor ride over the rim of a chambered round. The reason was thay they had the idea that magazines might become lost in combat and felt that the pistol should at least work as a single shot in an emergency. (The same reason they rejected a magazine safety.)
There is no problem when the extractors are made from the proper spring steel. Only recently, when most extractors are made from cheap cast junk metal (old chewing gum wrappers, I think) has there been a problem with extractors breaking.

The Walther P5, Sig P6, and H&K P7 were also designed to allow safely dropping the slide on a loaded chamber. It was one of the requirements that they had to meet to be adopted as service pistols. I know the Beretta 92 series pistols allow this as well.
All these pistols have an extractor with a ramp on the outside surface of the extractor, forward of the hook, to allow it to slide over the rim of the casing more easily.
I don't personally see the purpose of doing this regularly, on any pistol, even if the pistol and extractor were designed to allow it, and if I lose the magazine and I need to load the pistol and fire it, I would load it and fire it regardless of whether or not the pistol and extractor were designed to allow it.

After reading all the foregoing, I was reminded of a military pistol, maybe a Webley but not sure, where the magazine catch was two positioned. The purpose was to partially load a full magazine into the pistol and keep it in reserve while handling and firing the pistol as a single shot. Then, if the situation demanded, the magazine could be slammed home for semi-automatic fire.
Sounds like a completely absurb idea all the 'way around, to me. Now, I'm really curious, need to look that up again.

03 A3 rifles were made with a magazine block for single shot loading.
I can't think of a pistol with this feature. The LeFrancais and some Berettas used a tip up barrel that can be single loaded, but don't have mag blocks.

Yes, Bob, it is indeed the .455 Webley auto that has two latch notches in the magazine to serve the purpose of a cutoff.
The concept was soon abandoned for military rifles* and the pistol is a real oddball of optimism.
*The cutoff on a 1913 Springfield is also the bolt stop and could not be removed as it was from other service rifles. I don't know why they didn't just quit machining the two positions, though.

As President Bush visited Salt Lake City August 30 to promote his policies in Iraq and the "war on terror," Salt Lake City Mayor Ross C. "Rocky" Anderson delivered this address at a peace rally outside City Hall that drew more than 2,500 people. Watch the video here, via CBS affiliate KUTV, Salt Lake City.
A patriot is a person who loves his or her country. Who among you loves your country so much that you have come here today to raise your voice out of deep concern for our nation–and for our world?
And who among you loves your country so much that you insist that our nation's leaders tell us the truth?
Let's hear it: "Give us the truth! Give us the truth! Give us the truth!"
Let no one deny we are patriots. We love our country, we hold dear the values upon which our nation was founded, and we are distressed at what our President, his Administration, and our Congress are doing to, and in the name of, our great nation.
Blind faith in bad leaders is not patriotism.
A patriot does not tell people who are intensely concerned about their country to just sit down and be quiet; to refrain from speaking out in the name of politeness or for the sake of being a good host; to show slavish, blind obedience and deference to a dishonest, war-mongering, human-rights-violating President.
That is not a patriot. Rather, that person is a sycophant. That person is a member of a frightening culture of obedience–a culture where falling in line with authority is more important than choosing what is right, even if it is not easy, safe, or popular. And, I suspect, that person is afraid–afraid we are right, afraid of the truth (even to the point of denying it), afraid he or she has put in with an oppressive, inhumane regime that does not respect the laws and traditions of our country, and that history will rank as the worst presidency our nation has ever had to endure.
In response to those who believe we should blindly support this disastrous President, his Administration, and the complacent, complicit Congress, listen to the words of Theodore Roosevelt, a great President and a Republican, who said: The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole.
Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.

I live in an off-grid cottage and my biggest energy expense is for propane, which I use for space heating in winter. Because my farm has more firewood than I can possibly use, I'm planning to install a wood-fired, water-heating stove to eliminate the need for propane. I would like to find a way to convert wood to electrical energy as a backup, so I don't need to rent a generator and can run electricity to other dwellings and buildings on the farm.
I know this technology was around long ago, because steam locomotives used it to generate electricity for their running lights. Only 100 to 150 psi of steam was needed. A small boiler/turbo generator could be installed for backup or full-time power as needed, with no dependency on outside energy sources.
Are there any companies that make small boiler turbo generators (5–20 kW) that could be run on wood?
Clyde Koral • via e-mail
You'll likely be out of luck trying to buy a commercial, home-scale steam turbine generator that burns wood, for two very good reasons—safety and practicality.
Water expands to 1,700 times its original volume when heated to steam, and each gallon of water in a boiler carries the potential energy of a stick of dynamite! Boilers for steam turbines and steam engines must be monitored constantly, especially when burning fuels like wood where the energy density varies from one chunk to the next. Even a 10-minute trip to the fridge for a soda and sandwich is too long to leave a woodfired steam system unattended.
We have a wood-burning steam engine here at our off-grid shop, spinning a 2 kW alternator, but it's there for fun, not to depend on for backup electricity. Someone has to monitor, stoke, and water the boiler all day long, thus getting little work done in the shop, making steam backup power impractical for us. Steam power is fascinating, though, and there are many science-fair-sized steam turbine models on Internet video sites, or you could join a steam-engine enthusiasts club for help in restoring an antique or building your own.
There are other options besides steam for making electricity from wood, but all are complicated and expensive do-it-yourself projects at the 5 to 20 kW scale you want:
Making electricity with firewood is a difficult way to go, and requires lots of time, money, advanced skills, and imperturbable enthusiasm. If I had a huge surplus of wood as you describe, I'd harvest sustainably, sell the extra wood, and invest the proceeds in greater energy efficiency for my home and more solar-electric modules for my roof.

This time of year, everyone goes for chili - it is easy to prepare and a great supper with maybe just a few crackers or a small square of cornbread.
Let's lighten up the traditional chili with ground turkey instead of beef.
I traveled to two grocery stores to see what they offered in ground turkey. I found the Butterball 85 percent lean at both stores.
It has 17 grams of fat per 4-ounce serving, which I thought high until I compared it to the ground beef, which also had 17 grams of fat but costs twice as much.
I went to the Butterball website to investigate the ground turkey and found a wealth of information.
At Butterball.com, you will find all types of turkey products with recipes, ideas, tips and how-tos.
Turkey can be used for many family meals and is a healthy alternative to beef.
Two other popular uses for ground turkey are meatloaf and grilled turkey burgers. There are other numerous turkey products available in the grocery store.
So I gave it a try in chili with excellent results.
On the site, it showed that ground turkey is also available in 93 percent lean ground turkey, with 8 grams of fat and only 150 calories per 4-ounce serving, as opposed to the 230 calories in the 85 percent lean.
The butcher said they stocked the 93 percent, and were expecting a shipment shortly.
Evidently, there is a good market for ground turkey in both stores.
The recipe is also bulked up with two cans of pinto beans, and I added a can of niblet corn. This is optional for your family's taste.
The olive oil helps get in some healthy oil for the day.
Use fresh garlic if you have it on hand (about four chopped garlic cloves).
Cooking the chili powder for a short time helps bring out the flavor to season the dish well.
I roasted some fresh carrots and tossed them with a little honey to serve with my chili.
Email Diane Stewart at firstname.lastname@example.com.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium chopped onion
1 teaspoon minced, dehydrated chopped garlic, or equivalent
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 pound ground turkey
2 cans diced tomatoes, with juice
2 cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can niblet corn, drained (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Heat large saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and chopped onion. Stir for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
2. Add chili powder and stir about 1 minute. Add ground turkey; break up meat with a spoon and blend well with onion and chili powder; cook about 5 minutes.
3. Add tomatoes, beans, corn (if using), salt and pepper. Stir well, bring to a boil and simmer 30 minutes.
Makes 8 cups; six servings of 1 1/3 cups, each about 380 calories.

Manchester police seek Food Mart robber
MANCHESTER — Police are searching for a man they say brandished a pipe as he robbed Han's Food Mart on Maple Street Tuesday night.
The robber entered the 353 Maple St. store about 10 p.m., went to the front counter and demanded money. When the clerk told him "No," he pulled out a metal pipe and again demanded the cash, police said.
The clerk opened the register and the man reached into the drawer and took out $50 in cash. When he did, the clerk sprayed him with some pepper spray which police said had no affect on him.
The clerk then retrieved a knife to protect herself. The robber, after seeing the knife, smashed two jewelry display cases with the pipe and snatched seven necklaces from them. He fled the store with the cash and jewelry, heading east in the rear alley between Spruce Street and Lake Avenue.
Police said they recovered the pipe he dropped on the floor of the store.
The robber is described as a black man, about 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-8, 140 to 150 pounds and wearing a scarf or turtleneck over the lower part of his face, and a black hooded sweatshirt. There was no description of his pants or shoes.
The man also had a scar – maybe a cleft pallet, police said - on the left side of his face/mouth.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 668-8711 or anonymously through the Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040.

Set Your Shower Free! Open Shower Renovation Inspiration
In most bathrooms, showering is a sort of secondary function to bathing. It's a little unusual, because I'm willing to bet most of us take more showers than baths. But there you have it — take a bathtub, add a curtain so the water doesn't get all over the place, and now it's a decently serviceable shower. Those of you lucky enough to have a larger bathroom may have a shower with one of those cool modern glass enclosures. Those are pretty slick. But if you're remodeling, and you have the space and the inclination, maybe it's time to set your shower free. Maybe it's time to consider an open shower.
Although curbless designs (like in photos 3, 4, 5, and 8) have the added benefit of being handicapped accessible, the chief advantage of an open shower, for most people, is they look really damn cool. It elevates the shower from an annoying necessity into a celebrated design element in the bathroom. On the practical side: a design like this requires careful planning. If you don't leave enough buffer space, your shower will look pretty, but the rest of your bathroom may wind up soaked.
Just how much extra space do you need to leave if you want to install an open (or doorless) shower? Our friends at Houzz recommend at least six feet on either side of the showerhead, which sounds like a lot, but keep in mind this is a recommendation for a completely open shower. You can cut down on the amount of space required by adding a half or full-height wall around the splash zone (as in many of the examples above).
When choosing a showerhead, you'll want to pick a model that shoots water straight down instead of out, like a rain style showerhead. Make sure to surround the open shower with surfaces that can stand up to water (this means no drywall). If you choose to go for a design without a curb, you'll also want to ensure that any part of the floor within the splash zone slopes gently to a drain.
Another thing worth considering: roomy, sexy open showers can get chilly quickly, since there are plenty of opportunities for that nice steamy warmth to escape. The bathroom in image 8 forges a clever solution: a curtain on an overhead track around a completely open shower, so the person showering can opt for washing in the open or not, depending on the mood. It's the best of both worlds.

happy new year!Monday, January 01, 2007
We had every intention of going out last night. A party that included children, which is our favorite. But as we were getting ready, my husband started to feel terrible. You know, achy joints, head ache, stomach ache, the whole thing. So much to the children's chagrin, we had a change of plans. After a quick trip to the store for some treats and a couple of movies for the kids, all happiness was restored. We ended up watching Star Wars and Princess Diaries, and eating lots of popcorn and ice cream. Of course my husband did not want any libations so I had to drink my favorite wine alone. It was all good. We stayed up until midnight to toot our noise makers. Of course the children had to have their own little "sleep over" in the den, and you know what that means.......up WAY to early. So needless to say, I have been able to get in some good knitting.

Nov 5 (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley is revamping its institutional securities business, announcing Monday that Paul Taubman will retire as co-head of the trading and banking unit while co-head Colm Kelleher will remain as president.
The change comes as Morgan Stanley is reducing its historic reliance on trading in the wake of new rules and regulations and betting more strongly on selling securities advice and products to wealthy individuals and families.
Taubman, who was with Morgan Stanley for more than 30 years, will retire at year-end, the company said. Kelleher, who was chief financial officer of the company during the financial crisis, also will join the firm's operating committee.

Bit of a controversial choice this I'm sure, but for me this chap has got style in buckets. Coral was such a hit for women last year and the year before I hope it's as big in menswear this year. It looks great with my other favourite colour, grey and is a surefire winner with all the washed out pastels we're seeing at the moment.

Vicious cycle: Obamacare & Shea-Porter's 'fix'EDITORIAL
February 06. 2014 10:51PM
Carol Shea-Porter, who voted for Obamacare, now takes credit for a new federal policy designed to fix a problem the law created in the first place. What she is claiming as a small victory reveals the great depth of Obamacare's structural flaws.
Anthem, the lone insurer in New Hampshire's Obamacare exchange, famously annoyed everyone last fall when it announced that it had cut 10 of the state's 26 hospitals from the insurance network it offers through the exchange. Obamacare had forced insurers to offer coverage on the exchanges that was far more expensive than what they had been offering before. Costs went up, but to keep them from rising further, insurers made cuts elsewhere. One of them was to limit their provider networks.
Shea-Porter asked HHS not to approve such cuts in provider networks. When HHS said it would review them more carefully, she took credit for it. So she wants a new regulation to cancel a cost-cutting measure triggered by previous regulations she voted to impose.
Shea-Porter does not seem to grasp that this vicious cycle cannot go on. You cannot just force insurers to offer nothing but perks while preventing them from covering their costs. Eventually you'll kill the insurers. But then, maybe that's the point.

A woman was injured yesterday afternoon when her car struck a moving train on Whitney Street.
Fire officials said the woman suffered only minor injuries, although her car's front end was badly damaged.
Fire officials said they were called to the railroad crossing around 1:30 p.m. The victim was taken to a local hospital; fire officials did not identify her last night.
The train was moving at the time of the accident. Fire officials did not identify the owner of the train, but said it was traveling on tracks owned by the Providence and Worcester Railroad. The train was not significantly damaged, fire officials said.
Some fluids spilled from the car.

SNL lampoons Ryan Lochte
Host Seth McFarlane parodies local Olympian
SNL lampoons Ryan Lochte
Host Seth McFarlane parodies local Olympian
Saturday Night Live kicked off a new season over the weekend, and one of Central Florida's own Olympians made a splash during the Weekend Update skit.
SNL host Seth McFarlane, the creator of "Family Guy," parodied swimmer Ryan Lochte, a Volusia County native.
"It feels weird to be dry," McFarlane said.
The lampooned Lochte, who was featured often throughout the summer games in London, appeared to talk about upcoming NBC shows.
"The first one is called 'Monkey Hospital,' it's a show about a monkey in a hospital," the comedian said. "They give the monkey all the best lines."
Lochte won five medals in the 2012 games.

Asian shares slid on Friday after a Republican proposal to fend off a U.S. fiscal crunch failed to get enough support, deepening uncertainty over prospects for the negotiations to avert automatic spending cuts and tax increases set to start in January.
"Markets disliked signs of further delay in talks, with the risk that a deal may not be reached by the end of the year deadline," said Yuji Saito, director of foreign exchange at Credit Agricole in Tokyo. "It clearly hit risk sentiment."

Risk assets were sold off, from shares, oil to currencies such as the Australian dollar and the euro, while the yen rirmed slightly, though it was pinned near multi-month lows versus the dollar and the euro.
U.S. S&P 500 stock futures plunged 1.5 percent on worries over the U.S. "fiscal cliff".
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan <.MIAPJ0000PUS> fell 0.4 percent, after having traded up 0.2 percent at the open.
The U.S. House of Representatives will adjourn until after Christmas, Republican Representative Peter Roskam said on Thursday, after House Speaker John Boehner's proposed tax bill designed to avert the fiscal cliff failed to pass. The proposal was aimed at extracting concessions from the White House, which had threatened to veto it, and advance talks closer to a deal.
The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives, which abruptly recessed on late Thursday, may return as soon as December 27 with a yet-to-be-decided new plan, said a senior party aide.
U.S. 10-year Treasuries rose in Asia on Friday, with yields moving away from an 8-week high hit this week, after Boehner conceded that his tax bill lacked the votes to pass.
Australian shares slipped to a 0.1 percent drop from a 0.4 percent gain earlier and Japanese Nikkei average <.N225> erased nearly all gains as the yen strengthened.
The dollar was down 0.2 percent to 84.20 yen, easing from around 84.40 earlier, but still near a 20-month high of 84.62 yen hit on Wednesday.
The euro slumped 0.6 percent to 111.11 yen from around 111.78 yen earlier, but also near a 16-month high of 112.59 yen reached on Wednesday.
The yen was kept under pressure after the Bank of Japan further eased monetary policy as expeced on Thursday, with investors anticipating that the central bank will be persuaded to pursue more drastic measures next year. The incoming prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has called for bolder action by the central bank to help bring Japan out of decades-long deflation.
For all the worries of a fiscal cliff debacle, several data series showed the United States remained on a recovery track, helping to underpin the U.S. currency.
The world's largest economy grew at a faster-than-expected 3.1 percent annual rate in the third quarter, while other data on Thursday showed factory activity in the mid-Atlantic region picked up this month and home resales in November were the best in three years.
The euro fell 0.4 percent to $1.3195, off an 8-1/2-month high of $1.33085 touched on Wednesday.
The improving U.S. economy and a stabilizing Europe eroded the appeal of gold as a crisis hedge, triggering a technical sell-off and heavy liquidation by hedge funds before the year-end.
Spot gold prices plunged more than 1 percent on Thursday to a low of $1,635.09 an ounce, the weakest since August 22, sending the market below its 200-day moving average. Gold fell 0.2 percent to $1,643.71 on Friday.
U.S. crude fell 0.8 percent to $89.38 a barrel and Brent shed 0.4 percent to $109.70.

In 1989, as part of the Henry Art Gallery's ongoing Studio series, artist Richard C. Elliott was asked to transform the outside of the Henry Art Gallery with his reflector paintings. The result was Cycle of the Sun, a series of paintings that fit into the sculpture alcoves on the exterior walls of the museum. Using over 21,500 bicycle and truck reflectors of different colors and sizes, Elliott created a work that reacts to daily and seasonal changes in natural light.

European agency advises avoiding Crimean airspace
BERLIN (AP) — The European Aviation Safety Agency is advising planes to avoid the airspace over Crimea because of possible risks posed by two countries seeking to control the sky in the region.
The agency issued a safety bulletin drawing aircraft operators' attention to "the possible existence of serious risks to the safety of international civil flights." It cited an "unsafe situation where more than one ... provider may be controlling flights within the same airspace" starting Thursday and recommended circumnavigating the so-called "Simferopol flight information region," over Crimea.
The EASA says it acted after Russian authorities issued notices announcing their intention to provide air traffic services in the Simferopol region. Russia has annexed Crimea from Ukraine, a move that Western countries say violated international law.
The recommendation isn't mandatory.

Strolling around with your wheelchair-bound loved ones might one day be a whole lot less stressful, thanks to a new robotic wheelchair created in Japan. Designed by researchers at Saitama University's Human-Robot Interaction Center, the wheelchair uses distance sensors and built-in cameras to keep track of a pedestrian's position, allowing the chair to remain on the left-hand side of its targeted companion at all times. As Crunch Gear elaborates, the sensor system is also designed to pick up on the movements of a companion's shoulders, which enables the chair to predict the direction in which the walker might move.
In the event that a person leads the wheelchair down a narrow hallway, or through similarly treacherous terrain, the sensors will detect any obstacles and navigate the chair accordingly. If, for example, other people are walking toward the couple in a tight space, the chair will automatically follow its companion in single-file. And, because several robo-chairs are capable of following the same person, Saitama's researchers are hopeful that their brainchild will allow elderly care workers to more efficiently move their patients, and to interact with them more fluidly while doing so. To see the chair in action, check out the video after the break. [From: CrunchGear, via: PopSci]

No matter what city the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI) chooses to host its annual convention, the recycling industry's army of delegates takes over the town.
For five days in May, San Diego took on temporary status as "Recycling Central" when just shy of 4,500 delegates—the second-largest attendance on record—made California's second-largest city their home away from home.
Although known as a big convention town, San Diego seemed to take a special shine to ISRI. Cab drivers asked riders again and again what group was in town, and signs inviting ISRI members to come on in were posted in the windows of nearly every shop and restaurant in the adjacent Gaslamp Quarter.
This year's attendance figure might have set a new record were it not for the timing of the event. Noticeably absent were a number of scrap brokers who passed up the convention because it was held in the first week of the month, when they are busy shopping for scrap for their client mills. The downward momentum of the market also kept other members at home as they pushed to unload inventory to manage costs.
Although efforts by ISRI to attract recyclers handling tires, plastics and electronic scrap may be alienating a portion of their traditional scrap metal base, it is clear that networking is the number one reason recyclers of all ilks attend the event. And while major sessions such as the "Spotlight on Iron and Steel" filled the enormous ballroom, many individual sessions drew 50 or fewer attendees.
Still, the sessions, which covered a multitude of topics geared toward ferrous and nonferrous recyclers, tackled many unglamorous, yet key, issues, such as stormwater management, combustible dust and how to improve shredding operations.
In contrast, the exhibit hall bustled with activity throughout the course of the event. The hall played host to more than 250 exhibitors, including companies like Liebherr Group, which brought along full-scale versions of its scrap handling equipment. It also was the favored place to see and be seen, renew old acquaintances and catch up on market buzz.
Condoleezza Rice, the convention's keynote speaker, was a major draw, with a quick sampling of attendees indicating the audience was thoroughly impressed by the former U.S. Secretary of State. Rice's speaker fee reportedly is around $150,000, roughly the same amount earned by her former boss, President George W. Bush.
As part of this year's gathering, ISRI took time to honor two retired industry veterans with lifetime achievement awards Marvin Siegel, formerly of Spartanburg Iron & Metal Corp. in South Carolina, and Tom Salome, who spent his career at M. Lipsitz & Co. in Waco, Texas
On the sidelines after the official recognition ceremonies, Salome recalled how "Mr. Lipsitz" was shocked to see actual buying prices posted on a brand-new board and prominently displayed. The competitors didn't like the new strategy either, but the customers did. Decades later, the same pricing board started by Salome is a permanent fixture.
Siegel's success is legendary. He left a job in the textile industry in 1997 to become a partner in a small operation. Through a merger and acquisitions, Siegel grew the business into one of the largest scrap processing and recycling companies in the country. The company became known as Carolina Recycling Group and ultimately was sold to OmniSource.
ISRI chairman George Adams, known for sporting trademark hats created for him exclusively by a Chicago hat maker, passed the gavel to new chairman John Sacco, president of Bakerfield, Calif.-based Sierra International LLC, which operates scrapyards and is involved in the scrap equipment industry.
The face of the convention has changed in recent years. Besides embracing recycling businesses outside metals, the event attracts a significant number of delegates from other countries who show up to find and cultivate new scrap contacts. One convention veteran quipped that recent events look more like a United Nations conference than the gathering of a U.S. trade association. These visitors are supportive of ISRI, pay dues and are full members. Their presence also underscores the growing influence on, and importance exports play in, scrap market dynamics.
American pride did exude in one major session, however, when a hedge-fund panelist suggested that the U.S. embrace the European way and the moderator countered, "We don't want to be like Europe." The retort was met with thunderous applause.
One of the things ISRI does exceptionally well is inject a little fun into an otherwise very serious mission, such as promoting the message that safety in the workplace is more than a challenge and must become a way of life. To drive that message home, ISRI hired a professional actor known as "Dave" to deliver the mantra in a series of videos. Dave appeared live on stage complete with hard hat and sporting an out-of-place necktie to catch the attention of the crowd.
"I think you think ISRI got me off a supermodel gig," the unshaved actor told the audience in San Diego. Effective? You bet. You could hear a pin drop when Dave's newest safety video hit the screen. LISA GORDON

Our Muskegon trip and fall lawyers represent clients who have sustained injuries due to falls on broken and defective public sidewalks. Sidewalks often have potentially dangerous cracks, holes, or uneven slabs that present serious fall hazards to pedestrians and bicyclists. The injuries from these falls are often very serious, including broken bones, facial injuries, and even traumatic brain injuries.
A person injured from a broken sidewalk can make for injuries suffered due to a fall caused by this defective condition. Under Michigan law, a claim due to the city's failure to maintain the sidewalk can be made when the municipality violates required by Michigan Statute MCL 691.1401, et. seq.
Currently, under Michigan law, a discontinuity defect of less than two inches in a sidewalk, trail way, crosswalk, or other installation outside of the improved portion of the highway designed for vehicular traffic raises a rebuttable inference that the municipal corporation maintained the area in reasonable repair for purposes of the highway exception to immunity. This means that the condition is presumed safe if the there is less than a two inch defect in the walkway, but a claim is not necessarily barred if the drop-off is less than two inches.
Once an injury occurs as a result of the sidewalk defect, written notice must be given to the governmental entity within 120 days. The failure to provide written notice will preclude an injured victim's claim for damages. The notice shall specify the exact location and nature of the defect, the injury sustained and the names of the witnesses known at the time by the claimant.
Due to the complexities involved in defective sidewalk cases, including the notice provision, it is very important to discuss your case with an experienced Muskegon sidewalk injury lawyer who has won many of these complex cases. The experienced injury lawyers of Buckfire & Buckfire, P.C. handle sidewalk trip and fall cases and represent clients under our NO FEE promise. This means that there are no legal fees unless you receive a settlement.
Call our office now at (800) 606-1717 for a free consultation with one of top-rated sidewalk injury attorneys about your case or submit the contact form in the GET HELP NOW box on this page. We will begin working on your case immediately and file the required written notice to properly preserve you claim.

In a recently posted video blog on her site, Khloe Kardashian opens up about her struggles with weight, admitting she isn't always 100% confident in her body.
"My weight is always going up and down. I'm always fighting that," the 26-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star revealed. "I feel like no matter what I do, I never look good enough to everybody else."
Khloe adds that while she has grown to love her curvy body, she still struggles with what critics have to say sometimes. "That's been a struggle that I think I've gotten ahold of, not caring what other people think," she said. "But as much as I say that, other people's words eventually come and do hit you hard."
Khloe, who continues to be plagued with pregnancy rumors despite her numerous denials, also feels her weight issues is something she's always going to have to deal with. "I think my weight is my biggest lifetime struggle," said Khloe. "My weight is always going up and down. I'm always fighting that."
In other Khloe news, she recently graced the cover of YRB magazine sporting a darker, sexier look. Khloe dons a spiked bondage mask to cover her heavily made-up face.
"It's so different from anything I've ever done, which was what made the shoot so fun for me," Khloe explained of the magazine shoot. "YRB is known for being very wild and crazy with the content they publish, so I jumped at the chance to work with them!
