Protecting the public interest in any economic "bailout"
Does anyone seriously think that our public and private debts of some $45 trillion will be paid? That the administration's growth of the federal debt from $5.6 trillion to $9.8 trillion while borrowing another trillion dollars from Social Security has nothing to do with this? Does anyone not see that when we spend nearly $16,000 for every family of four in our society for the military each year that we are heading over the cliff?
This is a debt crisis, not a credit crisis. Just as FDR had to save capitalism after Wall Street excesses, we have to re-invigorate our economy with real - not imaginary - growth. It does not address the never-ending war on the middle class.
The same corporate interests that profited from the closing of U.S. factories, the movement of millions of jobs out of America, the off-shoring of profits, the out-sourcing of workers, the crushing of pension funds, the knocking down of wages, the cancellation of health care benefits, the sub-prime lending are now rushing to Washington to get money to protect themselves.
The double standard is stunning: their profits are their profits, but their losses are our losses.
This bailout will not bring real jobs back to America. It will not bring back jobs that make things. It does not rebuild our schools, streets, neighborhoods, parks or bridges. The major product of this financial economy is now debt. Industrial capitalism has been destroyed.
In the next few days I will push for a plan that includes equity for every American in any taxpayer investment in this so-called bail-out plan. Since the bailout will cost each and every American about $2,300, I have proposed the creation of a United States Mutual Trust Fund, which will take control of $700 billion in stock assets, convert those assets to shares, and distribute $2,300 worth of shares to new individual savings accounts in the name of each and every American.
I will also insist that all of the following issues be considered in whatever Congress passes:
1) Reinstatement of the provisions of Glass-Steagall, which forbade speculation
2) Re-regulation of the finance, insurance, and real estate industries
3) Accountability on the part of those who took the companies down:
--a) resignations of management
--b) givebacks of executive compensation packages
--c) limitations on executive compensation
--d) admission by CEO's of what went wrong and how, prior to any government bailout
4) Demands for transparency
--a) with respect to analyzing the transactions which took the companies down
--b) with respect to Treasury's dealings with the companies pre and post-bailout
5) An equity position for the taxpayers
--a) some form of ownership of assets
6) Some credible formula for evaluating the price of the assets that the government is buying.
7) A sunset clause on the legislation
8) Full public disclosure by members of Congress of assets held, with possible conflicts put in blind trust.
9) A ban on political campaign contributions from officers of corporations receiving bailouts
10) A requirement that 2008 cycle candidates return political contributions to officers and representatives of corporations receiving bailouts
And, most importantly, some mechanism for direct assistance to homeowners saddled with unreasonable or unmanageable mortgages, as well as protection for renters who have lived up to their obligation but fall victim to financial tragedy when the property they live in undergoes foreclosure.
These are just some thoughts on the run. You will hear more from me tomorrow.

Democracy Now! Free Speech! Free Press! Investigation!
Both announcements come two weeks after the conclusion of the Republican National Convention where over 40 journalists were arrested while reporting on protests taking place outside the convention center.
Upon learning of the news, Democracy Now! Host, Amy Goodman said, "It's good that these false charges have finally been dropped, but we never should have been arrested to begin with. These violent and unlawful arrests disrupted our work and had a chilling effect on the reporting of dissent. Freedom of the press is also about the public's right to know what is happening on their streets. There needs to be a full investigation of law enforcement activities during the convention."
Goodman was arrested while asking police to release Kouddous and Salazar who had been violently arrested while reporting on street demonstrations. After being handcuffed and pushed to the ground, Goodman reiterated that she was was a credentialed reporter. Secret Service then ripped the credential from around her neck.
During demonstrations on the first day of the convention police used pepper spray, rubber bullets, concussion grenades and force against protesters and journalists. Several dozen demonstrators were arrested, as was a photographer for the Associated Press.
John Lundquist, attorney for the Democracy Now! journalists, said, "The most notable lapse by law enforcement during the RNC was the record-breaking number of journalists indiscriminately arrested and detained for doing nothing more than performing in the best tradition of reporters who gather the news."
In the weeks after the journalist arrests, tens of thousands of members of the public contacted St. Paul officials to protest the unlawful arrests of working journalists. Goodman said, "We were deeply moved by the outpouring of support. We thank everyone who called and wrote first to have us freed and then to have the charges dropped. We thank everyone who stood up for press freedom and the First Amendment."
The YouTube video of Goodman's arrest was the most watched YouTube video during the convention week. It has now been viewed over 830,000 times. Salazar's video of her own violent arrest is also available on YouTube.

Hold Them Accountable
Tell Congress to investigate Karl Rove's cyber strategy to illegally manipulate elections. Click here to send an email to your Congress Members demanding immediate public hearings on whistleblower allegations that Rove architected and directed illegal attacks on Democratic candidates through the improper use of corporate funds channeled through fake Web-based front organizations, the improper political use of the Justice Department to prosecute opposition candidates, and the use of Internet based IT networks to alter election results.
EFF Sues NSA, President Bush, and Vice President Cheney to Stop Illegal Surveillance
The Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime
YOUR GOVERNMENT is openly torturing people, and justifying it.
YOUR GOVERNMENT puts people in jail on the merest suspicion, refusing them lawyers, and either holding them indefinitely or deporting them in the dead of night.
YOUR GOVERNMENT is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule.
YOUR GOVERNMENT suppresses the science that doesn't fit its religious, political and economic agenda, forcing present and future generations to pay a terrible price.
YOUR GOVERNMENT is moving to deny women here, and all over the world, the right to birth control and abortion.
YOUR GOVERNMENT enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.
People look at all this and think of Hitler - and they are right to do so. The Bush regime is setting out to radically remake society very quickly, in a fascist way, and for generations to come. We must act now; the future is in the balance.
Millions and millions are deeply disturbed and outraged by this. They recognize the need for a vehicle to express this outrage, yet they cannot find it; politics as usual cannot meet the enormity of the challenge, and people sense this.
There is not going to be some magical "pendulum swing." People who steal elections and believe they're on a "mission from God" will not go without a fight.
There is not going to be some savior from the Democratic Party. This whole idea of putting our hopes and energies into "leaders" who tell us to seek common ground with fascists and religious fanatics is proving every day to be a disaster, and actually serves to demobilize people.
But silence and paralysis are NOT acceptable. That which you will not resist and mobilize to stop, you will learn - or be forced - to accept. There is no escaping it: the whole disastrous course of this Bush regime must be STOPPED. And we must take the responsibility to do it.
And there is a way. We are talking about something on a scale that can really make a huge change in this country and in the world. We need more than fighting Bush's outrages one at a time, constantly losing ground to the whole onslaught. We must, and can, aim to create a political situation where the Bush regime's program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking society is reversed. We, in our millions, must and can take responsibility to change the course of history.
Acting in this way, we join with and give support and heart to people all over the globe who so urgently need and want this regime to be stopped.
This will not be easy. If we speak the truth, they will try to silence us. If we act, they will try to stop us. But we speak for the majority, here and around the world, and as we get this going we are going to reach out to the people who have been so badly fooled by Bush and we are NOT going to stop.
The point is this: history is full of examples where people who had right on their side fought against tremendous odds and were victorious. And it is also full of examples of people passively hoping to wait it out, only to get swallowed up by a horror beyond what they ever imagined. The future is unwritten. WHICH ONE WE GET IS UP TO US.
The last days of the American Empire are at hand. The destruction of our civil rights of dissent and protest are a symptom of this fall. It is the duty of all good citizens to stand against tyranny. This is the cause passed down by our forefathers, now it is ours to earn, we must survive or die trying.

Tim Burners Lee and W3C Foundation
According to Tim Burners Lee - a former CERN scientist credited with the invention of the World Wide Web, the future of the web should be founded upon the:
basic social values of trustworthiness, privacy, and respect for social boundaries that are so critical for connecting people.
These underlying values, along with the original ethics of the web: open-source, free access, net-neutrality, etc. form the basis for a new world, where a person's potential is limited only by their character, the quality their talent, and willingness to work to achieve their dreams.
To ensure that future, Lee has founded the World Wide Web Foundation to fund web science.
Web Science has as a goal that the Web should serve humanity.
* to advance One Web that is free and open,
* to expand the Web's capability and robustness,
* and to extend the Web's benefits to all people on the planet.
"To do so we would need collaboration among researchers from a variety of disciplines (including computer science, economics, mathematics, and psychology) whose perspectives would shed new light on the Web as a system. In 2006, I helped to set up the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) to facilitate and produce the fundamental scientific advances necessary to inform the future design and use of the World Wide Web." - Lee

The Definition of Dick
BROOKE GLADSTONE: So we called the Vice President's office, and this is what they told us, quote: "The office of the Vice President currently follows the Presidential Records Act and will continue to follow the requirements of the law, which includes turning over vice-presidential records to the National Archives at the end of the term. Since the matter is currently under investigation, we will not comment further," unquote.
So, Anne, why don't you believe the Vice President?
ANNE WEISMANN: Well, it's not a question of not believing them, although I will say their track record is far from great on that score. But if you listen to what he actually said, it's fine for him to give the bland assurance that they're complying with the act, but they have a completely different view than we do as to what that act actually requires him to do.
BROOKE GLADSTONE: So what is that difference?
ANNE WEISMANN: Well, the law says that the President and Vice President have to preserve essentially all the records that they create in fulfillment of their statutory, constitutional, ceremonial and other duties.
Now, the Vice President's Office and the Archives take the position that the legislative records that the Vice President creates and receives don't have to be preserved.
BROOKE GLADSTONE: What sort of documents, then, is he saying are exempt?
ANNE WEISMANN: Well, that actually is a very good question, and here's why. This Vice President has taken the view that he's not part of the executive branch. He's covered by executive privilege but he doesn't have any of the responsibilities that go with being part of the executive.
He says, if I'm attached anywhere, it's to Congress, which opens up a huge loophole here, because, for example, he's refused to tell the Archives how he and his office handle classified information. He's refused to comply with Ethics in Government laws that require reporting of trips that are funded by outside groups. He hasn't even been willing to give his staff list to Congress.
BROOKE GLADSTONE: Anne, can you take me through the history of the Presidential Records Act quickly?
ANNE WEISMANN: Mm-hmm [AFFIRMATIVE].
BROOKE GLADSTONE: I know that it was passed in 1978 in response to the Watergate scandal.
ANNE WEISMANN: Well, the original act - it's gone through one or two permutations since then – made clear that the records belong to the public, because recall that President Nixon left office and, much to everyone's shock, said, these are my papers and I'm not going to share them with the public. In the past, presidents had taken their papers but they had put them in presidential libraries.
So Congress passed a law to make sure that when the President leaves office, the records, all of them, will be transferred over to the archivists, who will prepare them for eventual release to the public. It's clear that Congress envisioned, really, that it would cover the broadest possible group of records.
BROOKE GLADSTONE: So back in 2001, President Bush signed an executive order trying to alter the Presidential Records Act of 1978. What was he trying to do, and how effective was he at doing it?
ANNE WEISMANN: It's clear that what he was trying to do is protect the legacy of his father and his own legacy going forward. He allowed former presidents to extend beyond 12 years, which the act has in it, the time period under which their records could be sealed. He gave rights to family members of former presidents to assert interests on behalf of the president. And in a little-noticed provision, he said for purposes of the Presidential Records Act, the Vice President's records are the executive records of the Vice President.
BROOKE GLADSTONE: Oops!
ANNE WEISMANN: And it was the expression "executive record," exactly. But who knew at the time that we would be looking at a vice president who would take the view, I'm not part of the executive branch? The problem with that is that a president doesn't have the authority to unilaterally change the law by executive order or any other order.
The problem with that is that a president doesn't have the authority to unilaterally change the law by executive order or any other order.
BROOKE GLADSTONE: So if he couldn't change the law, how effective was this executive order? For instance, was he able to prevent the release of the papers of President George Herbert Walker Bush?
ANNE WEISMANN: He was, and it's my understanding that a cache of documents that would otherwise have been released were not. There was a lawsuit over the executive order, and it succeeded in small part. It mostly failed on sort of legal/technical grounds.
Of course, our lawsuit is a little different because we're not talking about records that we think eventually will become available for public review. The issue isn't when is that going to happen, now or later? We're talking about records that, unless they're covered by this act, may be destroyed altogether.
And I think it's an especially acute loss when you consider how enormously active this vice president has been, probably more than any other vice president in history.

The True Choice
Since the farce of an election in 2000, when the Supreme Court overstepped itself and illegally judged the presidential election without grounds or president, the Executive Administration of George W. Bush, with the help of the corrupt Congress and Senate, have 'adjusted' the Constitution of the United States to make themselves more powerful. They imposed limits on our freedoms, took the checks and balances away and freed themselves to write signing-statements that effectively put the executive administration above and beyond the law.
All this is necessary, they claim, to fight the "War on Terror". Using the concept of the "unitary executive" backed by the specter of the terrible attacks of September 11, 2001, (attacks that might have been prevented if not for their own incompetence) they have played upon the fears and ignorance of America's people. Warping reality with illegal propaganda and flat out lies, they committed our military to endless illegal wars of empire. Foolishly, the majority of our citizens followed them like sheep to slaughter. As our sons die or are irrevocably maimed by the psychological wounds inflicted by the experience of atrocities committed in unnecessary wars, most Americans go on with day to day life, living a beach party, without sacrifice, as their future is slowly sucked away.
Now we face an uncertain future. One without education, or affordable healthcare, where our potential is no longer limitless, but determined by the size of your trust fund. We have let go of the American Dream, and replaced it with the competitive paradigm of capitalism, where each person is out on there own, fighting with their brothers for scraps dropped from above. And still the proud idealists, independent, self-reliant Americans, hard working and defiant, still deluding themselves with the possibility that they can become one of the over-class, win the lottery, or boost themselves up with non-exestant boot-straps, continue to support the bankrupt causes of those who believe themselves their betters based upon the quantity of income they command.
Worse, some of our weak minded Americans have fallen for the oldest con in the book, and accepted the promise of eternal rewards in the hereafter. For that they follow willingly the corrupt and mistaken preachers who live like parasites off their voluntary tithe, and willingly vote as they are told, for those politicians who play to their religious bias and prejudices. Their mistake, believing themselves to be guilty of sin without cause, and just as guilty as those who take them by the nose. Pity the fools who curse this democracy without thought, they know not what they do.
Now, here we stand, on the edge of the knife again. We have been here before, in 1776, and 1860, or maybe 1968, and we have forgotten our legacy. Once we make the choice there will be no going back. Either America will recreate itself, renew itself, reclaim itself, or it will fall back into the dust of history, as the grand experiment that ultimately failed.
We have a great battle ahead, the economy, your homes, education and healthcare, the criminal industrial complex, endless wars, a world of uncertainty awaits. The question is will you allow those who would control you to manipulate you with fear, or will you join the fight and create change. Will you dare to hope.
"We must be the change we have been waiting for."
None of the problems we face are insurmountable, we have the resources, and with hard work and will, we can right the ship. But if we allow our US Constitution, our Bill of Rights, our freedoms to fall as casualty to our failure to elect the right people in the past, then none of it will matter. We can fight, and bail out all the banks, and give people back their homes, and feed the hungry, and sacrifice till it costs our children their potential, but none of it will make any difference without our freedom. Without the Constitution this is just another kingdom, just another dictatorship, a police state called America. Without the protections of our nation, America is nothing. That founding document is what unites us, it is what binds us, it is what makes ours a country that inspires and protects the people's of the world.
What Bush and his ilk have done is unforgivable. They have attacked our Constitution and claimed our power, our freedom, for their own. Like vampires they suck out the lifeblood of our country. Stealing our honor, our potential, our very promise, and using our powers to enrich themselves while inflicting unjust suffering on peoples we had no cause to harm. Atrocities committed in our name are still our responsibility, and we must someday pay for their elite arrogance, but the first step in saving our ship of state is to patch the hole they have torn in her hull.
We must find the strength to face our failures, to rebel against the mistakes we allowed to be made, and renew the checks and balances our fathers died to protect. We must hold a light up to the abuses of power, and hold those accountable who have tarnished our freedoms. We must do the hard work to redefine the powers of the executive, restore transparency in the face of secrecy, demand that all men be held within the laws. No more can we allow our ignorance to excuse us our duty. We must learn, we must understand, we must digest and incorporate the truth of our failures if we are ever to restore our promise. America is the one country on earth that has had the courage to deny kings, now we must rebuke the elitist billionaires who have stolen our potential by buying our government.
Many people think that the American Dream is to start with nothing and become rich, but that is not my dream. My dream is to create a just world where any person can, with honest hard work, fulfill their greatest potential, and together we can succeed at maximizing our freedoms, together, without bloodshed or destructive competition.
Money may be the master of you who dare not question authority, for fear of exposing your weaknesses, but for those who hold higher values, who would face such fear, and gain the courage to stand for something greater than yourself, for you I willing dedicate my life. It is not a sacrifice, it is the price we all must pay to earn our freedom.
I challenge you, move beyond, break your shackles. If we don't hold something above our greed, if we value nothing more than money, then there is no place left for us to go. We have dominated the world with our capital, we have bought all the weapons, and paid off all the terrorists. We effectively own the world. The question now is what kind of world will it be?
The Choice is yours, November 4, 2008.

American Truth and Reconciliation
by Dennis J Kucinich
September11, 2008
We suffer in our remembrance of 9/11, because of the terrible loss of innocent lives on that grim day. We also suffer because 9/11 was seized as an opportunity to run a political agenda... It is not simply 9/11 that needs to be remembered. We also need to remember the politicization of 9/11 and the polarizing narrative which followed... As we were all victims of 9/11, so we have become victims of the interpretation of 9/11.
9/11 Op-Ed article by Dennis Kucinich:
America must move from the errant, retributive justice of 9/11 to a healing, restorative process of truth and reconciliation.
Before the Congress adjourns, I will bring forth a new proposal for the establishment of a National Commission on Truth and Reconciliation, which will have the power to compel testimony and gather official documents to reveal to the American people not only the underlying deception which has divided us, but in that process of truth seeking set our nation on a path of reconciliation.
We suffer in our remembrance of 9/11, because of the terrible loss of innocent lives on that grim day. We also suffer because 9/11 was seized as an opportunity to run a political agenda, which has set America on a course of the destruction of another nation and the destruction of our own Constitution.
And we have become less secure as a result of the warped practice of pursing peace through the exercise of pre-emptive military strength.
It is not simply 9/11 that needs to be remembered. We also need to remember the politicization of 9/11 and the polarizing narrative which followed, locking us into endless conflict, a war on terror which has wrought further terror worldwide and which has severely damaged our standing worldwide as an honorable, compassionate nation. As we were all victims of 9/11, so we have become victims of the interpretation of 9/11.
Our government's external response to 9/11 was to attack a nation which did not attack us. Indeed on the first anniversary of 9/11, the Bush administration issued a well-publicized stern warning to Iraq which was part of a campaign to induce people to believe Iraq had something to do with 9/11.
The deliberate, systematic connection of Iraq with 9/11 has led America into a philosophical and moral cul-de-sac as over one million Iraqis and over 4155 US soldiers have died in a war which will cost over $3 trillion. Additionally, soldiers from 23 other countries have died in the Iraq war.
We attempt to unite Iraq by further dividing it. We talk about restoring Iraq while taking steps to place control of its vast oil wealth in the hands of US oil giants. And we intend to impose upon the Iraqi people the cost of rebuilding a country which our government ruined, keeping a once prosperous nation lashed to debt and poverty for a long, long time. Iraq has paid for 9/11. We all continue to pay for 9/11.
The heartbreaking loss of the lives and injuries to America troops further binds us to the Administration's illogic of the Iraq war: We remember our troops' sacrifice by demanding more sacrifice; we support our troops by continuing the war.
The dominant color of our new national security since 911 is neither red, white nor blue. Everyday is orange. Everyday reminders of fear of 9/11 become banal.. Yet we no longer hear the airport announcements nor see the orange colored warnings because they have commonplace standards in our new national security state, as is the Patriot Act, wiretapping, and a host of invasions of privacy and diminution of civil liberties. The Constitution has been roundly attacked by the very people who took an oath to defend it.
There is a powerful desire across America for change, not necessarily from control by one political party to another, but a change from living with lies to living with truth.
Over two dozen nations, facing peril within and without, deeply divided by politics and war have travelled down a path of restoring civil society through a formal process of reconciliation. At some point within each of those countries it was understood that the way forward is shown through the light of truth. This process is not without pain because it requires a willingness to study evidence to which eyes had been averted and ears had been closed. But in the process of truth and reconciliation, nations found new strength, new resolve, new commitment.
The South African Truth and Reconciliation enabled that nation to come to grips with its past through a public confessional, bringing forward those who committed crimes and having the power to grant amnesty for full disclosure of crimes against the people. Of course, our path may necessarily be different: High US government officials stand accused in Impeachment petitions of violating national and international law. Our continued existence as a democracy may depend upon how thoroughly we seek the truth. I will call upon the America people to join me in supporting this effort.
The truth can move us forward, as a unified whole, so that we can one day become a re-United States. 9/11 is the day the world changed. It is the day America embraced a metaphor of war. If we are open to truth and reconciliation, we may one day be able, once again, to embrace peace.
100 Days to save the Constitution
Over the last eight years, the Bush administration has systematically dismantled the most important rights and protections in the United States Constitution. In the first 100 days of office, the next president can, often with the stroke of a pen, restore, protect, and expand the fundamental rights on which our nation was founded.
It is up to all of us to see that he does.
The Center for Constitutional Rights' 100 Days Campaign focuses on the harm done by previous administrations and the hopes we have for making the country a better place for all.
Join us in telling the next administration what you want to see in the first 100 days. Look for a series of white papers, videos, speaking tours and online activism that will bring these issues front and center in the public debate.
This brochure provides an overview of the issue areas covered in our 100 Days Campaign, including:
- Ending Torture, Rendition, and Illegal Detention
- Protecting Dissent
- Abolishing Preventive Detention
- Limiting State Secrets Privilege
- Restoring the War Powers Act
- Stopping Warrantless Wiretapping
- Rolling Back Executive Power

It is likely for someone to lose a lot in any Internet bidding by less than a full bid increment. When the winning bidder independently bid a small amount higher than the other bidders & a bidder is only required to bid at least the amount of the next highest increment and since no one knows what anyone's maximum bid, the current bid made by the new bidder will now become the actual maximum bid & one increment above what the other bidder has bid.
In other words, if your maximum bid is 6000 INR and the current bid is 2500 INR, a new bidder would be entitled to bid any amount of 2600 INR or higher because the next increment above the current bid is 2600 INR. If the new bidder bids any amount above your maximum bid, he would then become the high bidder on the lot i.e., his bid should be above 6000 INR.
1. Why am I being outbid immediately?
This situation can only arise if another bidder has placed a secret maximum bid higher than the secret maximum bid you are placing.
Any bid placed by you on-line, that bid serves as a "secret maximum bid" also known as a "proxy bid". Maruauction house uses your secret proxy bid to compete against other bidders on behalf of you in the auction. This is done by raising your current bid to the minimum needed to win the lot, but not more than your secret maximum. The current bid on a lot shows only the next increment, however, may not reflect the actual secret maximum of the top bidder. If there is only one bidder, then the current bid will always be 100INR since that is the next lowest bid. However, the bidder's secret maximum bid is always hidden in the system and is competing for the bidder.
Example: If the current bid on a lot is 100 INR because no one has placed a bid and you then bid 10,000 INR, the current bid will be 200 INR. If no one else ever bids against you, you would win the lot at 200 INR - not 10,000 INR. If someone else bids 7500 INR, then the current bid will immediately increase to 7700 INR, the minimum bid required to win the lot, which is one increment over the next highest bid. The 7700 INR bid is your bid since your secret maximum is competing for you, and the low bidder would immediately receive an outbid notice.
2. How Can I give a Maximum bid?
A Bidder can simply put the desired amount in the "Secret Maximum Bid" box & click on place bid & by doing so he can bid the highest amount for the lot(s).
3. How to increase your bid?
Since you have already bided on our site for a particular lot it does not mean you can't raise your secret maximum bid for the same lot. By doing so you will not be bidding against yourself, however, you have simply changed your bid amount & the current bid - what the item would sell for if the auction ended immediately is then recalculated. You can increase your bid simply by bidding in exactly the same way you placed your previous bid.
This WILL also increase the current bid of the lot.
4. Bidding Slab
Bidding increments are shown in the table below. These increments are calculated without considering the current bid i.e., if the current bid is 2500 INR then the next increment would be 2600 INR & it will have only 100 INR as an increment until it reaches 5,000 INR.
Current Slab (in INR)
Increment Per Bid (in INR)
1 - 2,500
2,501 - 10,000
10,001 - 25,000
25,001 - 50,000
50,001 - 100,000
100,001 – 249,000
2,50,000 - 5,00,000
5,00,001 and above
5. How is Internet auction different from Floor auction?
Internet bidding differs the little bit from the actual floor bidding. Here, bidders need to either bid an amount equal to or greater than the next increment. It is also possible to win a bid with an increment of Rs 200.
When the auction ends, the person with the highest bid will be the winner of the lot. However, the actual selling price of the item will be the calculated current bid on the item, no matter what the actual high bid was. This allows a bidder to win lots for a lesser price than your maximum bid. The bidder's secret maximum bid will itself compete on his behalf until he (bidder) either wins the lot or is out bided.

WAREHAM — The Water Department will stop chlorinating the district's water system on Sunday, more than three weeks after the state lifted its boil order.
WAREHAM — The Water Department will stop chlorinating the district's water system on Sunday, more than three weeks after the state lifted its boil order.
The town has gradually reduced the chlorine in the system to .4 parts per million after it was announced that the water was safe for drinking. It will stop all chlorination at the end of the month, according to Michael A. Martin, water superintendent for the Wareham Fire District.
The Water Department issued a boil-water order Aug. 27 after learning that morning that a sample taken four days earlier had tested positive for E. coli bacteria. On Sept. 7, the order was lifted after tests showed the water was again safe for drinking.
Approximately 100 water samples have been taken during September, and all seven of the district's wells have been clean, Mr. Martin said.
The town is in the process of hiring a consultant to find the source of contamination.
"We're reviewing the contract with SEA Consultants right now to conduct an evaluation on what the potential contributing factors were," Mr. Martin said.
He listed four possible sources of contamination, including a local contractor who broke water and sewer mains at the same time; a local contractor who took out 13 feet of water main; a paving contractor who took water from a fire hydrant without being authorized and used a faulty backflow device; and the flushing of new water mains near the site of the mall.
The Water Department has spent more than $50,000 on bottled water, chlorine, sampling and overtime for workers, Mr. Martin said. He estimated the total cost of the crisis, including hiring a consultant, will be $80,000 to $100,000.
The money will be taken out of the department's regular operating funds. Its budget already includes line items for overtime, engineering service and chemicals.
Extra costs will be covered by deferring nonessential purchases, such as a new lawn mower and pickup truck, Mr. Martin said.
"We have no intention of having this affect the water rates in any way, shape or form," he said.
Mr. Martin said SEA Consultants also will evaluate the town's water sampling techniques and their response to the E. coli situation to minimize risk in the future.
"We don't fear and we actually welcome constructive criticism," he said.
An official notice that the water situation has been resolved will be released by the Water Department within a week.

So, its been a while....I KNOW! But in my defense, I have had some very busy months go by. I thought I would just post a quick update for everyone. I haven't just been sitting around on my bum, I actually have quite a few new invitation designs to post, PLUS Catie's Winnie the Pooh 2nd Birthday Party. I have them uploaded, I just need to add the finishing touches. Finding the time is proving to be quite hard, though. I will do it, I promise!!!
Let's start off with our family costumes this year. As you can probably tell, we went as Winnie the Pooh(perfect for my baby belly), Piglet and Christopher Robin. I have to give my husband props for being such a good sport(after a little coaxing). It just wouldn't have been this great without him. I made the Pooh and Piglet costumes, of course. I just can't bring myself to buy pre-made costumes anymore. These took one day to sew using my favorite material of all time...Fleece! You just can't mess it up! It really is the most forgiving fabric.I have also gotten a new camera in the last few months. So, of course I have been playing around with that a lot! We went with the Nikon D3000. I am just getting used to it, but I think I am going to love it. I have been messing around with an old dress pattern that I have, trying to find new ways to "spruce" it up for Catie. This is the Fall themed dress I came up with for her. I added the bib front and ruffle along the bottom. A BIG thanks to her Nana for crocheting the awesome flower that's in her hair. I have an order in for one in EVERY color imaginable. I might get those in a year or so...ha ha My mother is a much bigger procrastinator than I am!!Last but definitely not least, the NEW MAN in my life.... Yes, I said man, as in male gender!! Our little surprise has turned out to be a boy. Yay! 1 girl, check! 1 boy, check! Procreating finished, check! In as few as 6 weeks we will be welcoming our little one, Marshall Paul Hutchison, to the world. I am truly blessed to have a healthy baby on the way. Here's a little smile from our little guy.

The issue with giving up Moulson was that this team was terrible and had no depth when he went unsigned.
What he's turned out to be (for the Islanders) is good for him, but he wouldn't be getting the same ice time on a good team.
You can compare his situation to Glenn Murray perhaps. When Murray was here, he flat out sucked. For whatever reason, he went on to become a major goal scorer. Who knew?? You win some, you lose some. That's the breaks.

Masayuki Kusumi original and Taniguchi ji ro Painting gourmet comic The Lonely Noodle Shop will launch as a TV drama in spring 2012 of Tokyo Station. But in the end this work should be in the form of television series, or single set of forms is not clearly, and the list of actors is not announced. Full Details to Follow
The Lonely Noodle Shop which serialized from 1994 to 1996 in the Monthly PANJA (Fusōsha), once completed. But two years later it appeared on Weekly SPA! (Fusōsha) once again as short comics. Since that, it began to serialize in the Weekly SPA! periodically.
The story talks about the protagonist Inokashira Goro as one self-employed trader dine in restaurants in different places in his leisure time. Goro is not to patronize the local senior restaurant, but most of them are civilian consumption. The comic did not talk about the value of one dish, but simply describe the thoughts when Goro eating. No ups and downs of the story, just a flat just a touch of comic documentary. Although such a simple story, the sales are booming. Library edition has printed 21 times, total sales of more than 88,000, among them about 40% of female readers. And has been translated into Italian and French, the original author Masayuki Kusumi said in the blog, the Italian version of the sales have reached 100,000. This shows the Charming of this comic.
By the way, Masayuki Kusumi's another gourmet original comic book become the top one in this comic is too much! 2012 list of women's groups works. It seems the author's extraordinary strength. The drama is also to wait.

Last February I had the opportunity to participate in the TEDxUNIR conference in Logroño. Here is the video of the talk followed by the text in English.
Yesterday, I arrived from London, where I've been living for three years. When we decided to move there, we had the mental image of London as a very big city, with lots of people on the streets, very diverse and intense... However, the idea that our friends and relatives have of the city was another. When we told them we were going to live in London, the most common answer we received was: "really? The weather is quite bad there, isn't it?" And yes, they were right, it is very bad.
But they were right in giving importance to the climate too, because climate is a fundamental part of the city. It exerts great influence on the image of the city and it can form an essential part of its identity. For example, it is impossible to think on any of these cities without associating them with a specific climate, temperature, light or moisture. I would even say that the city is climate.
Moreover, the weather is also part of us. Climatic conditions are pervasive aspects of our routine and define many actions and decisions we make every day. We think, feel and talk about it constantly. Climate can even define our mood and personality.
Climatic conditions have a great influence on the way we perceive our environment. Any change in the weather, time of the day, the point of view or the viewer's mood influences their understanding and perception. The same scenario can be completely different depending on the atmospheric conditions. Even a seemingly solid object like a building may look different, depending on the moment in which we look at it. Therefore, our relationship with the environment is totally dependent on the weather. Or putting it in another way, the weather allows us to multiply the experiences of the city and make it different every time we look at it.
However, in recent decades we have tended to make city through spaces like this, isolated from the outside and ignoring the weather. In this way, we protect ourselves from unfavourable climatic conditions, but we also isolate ourselves from the good experiences the weather offers.
By including the weather in the city again, we increase awareness of the place and the planet on which we live. We can take advantage and use changes in light, temperature, humidity to create more stimulating and enriching spaces.
So, can we create cities where the weather is another urban element, such as streets or buildings? Can we create spaces for the rain, sunrises or cloudy days, so as to generate richer and more stimulating urban spaces?
Interest on the climate and the weather has grown significantly in recent years. This is an image of the CLOUD experiment being conducted at CERN in Switzerland. It is a camera which reproduces atmospheric conditions to better understand the clouds. With it we can now understand how clouds form and maybe reproduce them in the future.
The interest on weather and the experiences it offers is also growing in the world of art. For example, this frozen dusk inside the Tate Modern by Olafur Eliasson. Oddly enough, everybody—including myself—sat or lay down on the floor to watch it, as if we were on the beach admiring a real dusk. Similarly, The Rain Room exhibited now in London recreates the rain. It consists on a room where it rains, but when people walk through it, the rain stops just above oneself (unlike the famous cartoon cloud that was put over the character and pursued him wherever he went). Experiencing the rain from a different perspective—in an enclosed space where you can only see and hear the rain but not feel it in your skin—force us to reflect on this phenomenon so common in our lives and so important for the preservation of our environment.
At the moment there are only occasional experiments and there is still a long way to explore. By introducing elements like sun and shading, water in all its forms, moving air and consider seasonal variations of each place, we are creating more comfortable and attractive spaces for people. We will also be helping to create a more sustainable environment by emphasizing the importance of the atmosphere to global sustainability.

Us stocks ended higher for a fourth straight session as investors shifted their focus to the disappointing June retail sales data and how it could delay the Federal Reserve's rate hike expected later this year.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced by 75.90 points or 0.4% to end at 18,053.58 points, the first time in three week that the blue chip index had crossed 18,000.
The S&P 500 Index advanced 9.35 points or 0.5% to end at 2,108.5 points while the Nasdaq Composite ended 33.7 points or 0.7% higher at 5,104.89 points.
"I was a little disappointed with the retail sales numbers today, so I was a little surprised by the rally," Mark Kepner, an equity trader at Chatham, New Jersey-based Themis Trading LLC, told Bloomberg.
"Maybe the drumbeat of the September rate rise is something that may get pushed back to later in the year. Going forward it's going to take earnings to push us higher. JPMorgan started the week of earnings off pretty well."
Data released by the Department of Commerce early morning on Tuesday showed that sales at retailers fell by 0.3% in June. The Department also cut the previous month's data.
"We cannot blame seasonality and weather, so this is purely a slow recovery. As the Atlanta Fed's GDP Now indicator shows, we are growing at a 2.4% rate. The bigger issue is when the Fed will raise interest rates," Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at Convergex, a global brokerage company based in New York, told Market Watch.
"The Fed funds futures market is putting a 13% chance of rate hike happening in September and that number may go further down, pushing the odds to a later date. Market says Janet Yellen is being optimistic when she says rate hikes will come this year."
Analysts expect the weaker than expected economic data to delay the Federal Reserve's rate hike which chairwoman Janet Yellen reported earlier this week would happen by the end of the year.
With the US getting into the earnings season, corporate earnings are expected to play a bigger role in determining the market direction in the coming days.

Edward King Gaylord was the pivotal person in Central Christian College's move to Oklahoma City. A friend and admirer of George S. Benson, Mr. Gaylord was president and publisher of the state's largest newspapers, the Daily Oklahomanand the Oklahoma City Times.
When Dr. Benson informed him that the college might move to a metropolitan base, Mr. Gaylord energized civic support for Oklahoma City's winning bid. He was even instrumental in locating the 200-acre site that became the new campus in 1958.
Mr. Gaylord led Oklahoma Christian's first fundraising campaign in the Oklahoma City corporate and civic communities. It was an effort to help pay for the move and to acquire the new campus. The campaign, launched in 1956, was for $200,000. Beginning in 1960 and every five years thereafter, a similar campaign has been conducted among this group to provide funds to build the campus buildings and support the infrastructure. Oklahoma Publishing Company has always provided the linchpin gift in these campaigns and has been equally important in attracting other corporate donors to support Oklahoma Christian.
Mr. Gaylord, though slight in stature, was a giant among his peers. He had business and political clout and was highly regarded by all who visited Oklahoma. Education was a special interest of his. He helped organize the Frontiers of Science program in Oklahoma and provided college scholarships for many of his newspaper carriers. His interest in Oklahoma Christian was born of his belief that the mission of this college was different from most. He liked the emphasis on character building, the conservative values espoused by the administration and the pioneering efforts of the college in the area of instructional technology.
On the new campus, the arts classroom building was soon named for E.K. Gaylord and the original science building for his friend and banker, C.A. Vose. Both agreed to serve with a prestigious group of business leaders, known as the Board of Governors, to assist the college with its local and national public relations.
Both E.K. Gaylord and his wife, Inez Gaylord, died in 1974. Mr. Gaylord, 101 years old, had attended civic meetings for breakfast, lunch and dinner on the day he died. His funeral was held in Oklahoma Christian's Hardeman Auditorium. President James O. Baird flew home from a mission trip to Vietnam in order to officiate the services. Over the next 15 years, charitable lead trusts, administered by E.K. Gaylord's son, Edward L. Gaylord, provided major endowments to the university.

New Avengers Footage & Loads Of Posters15.03.12 # Trailers # 3 Comments
As cities begin to sell out of tickets for midnight screenings of The Avengers, Marvel has unveiled new character posters for Nick Fury's supergroup, and a Japanese trailer contains a ton of new footage.
Like the main poster for the movie, these aren't especially cool or exciting, but this movie isn't really relying on the posters to generate excitement. This might do it though –
Meanwhile, director Joss Whedon has been talking and says he aimed to give The Avengers a real sense of danger, where any of the characters could be killed (or maimed?):
"I find superhero movies to be a little too neat. And when you have Earth's mightiest heroes — like Thor, you know Thor! — you have to put them in a situation that makes you feel like they're not all going to make it. The climax of this movie isn't one where you go, 'Oh yes, there's the Avengers, good for them, bye!'" When it all hits, it hits hard."
The Avengers stars Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Tom Hiddleston, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson and hits cinemas in May.

Below Zero - RELEASE DATE: August 28th, 2012This is a true-life story of Jack the Hack who is a screenwriter with writer's block. He arranges to have himself locked in a meat cooler in order to meet a looming deadline. As the temperature drops, the lines between reality and fiction blur and Jack's story comes to life! It exposes him to a world of horror that only a meat freezer can inspire.
The Day - RELEASE DATE: August 29th, 2012A group of five survivors are armed with shotguns, axes and machetes and they're wandering the back roads looking for refuge in The Day. It's one of those films where it's a terrifying look into the post-apocalyptic future and the survivors are doing whatever it takes to survive!
The Possession - RELEASE DATE: August 31st, 2012This film is based on real events that transpired after a family wound up in possession of a haunted box. The real-life box gained notoriety in 2004 when it sold on eBay after causing inexplicable bad fortune to its owners which were attributed to a dibbuk - a malevolent spirit of Jewish folklore trapped in the haunted box. Basically, the family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil.
ANOTHER film that I'm looking forward to see!
The Tall Man - RELEASE DATE: August 24th, 2012This film is more of a thriller and it takes place in an isolated, slowly dying mining town where children are vanishing without a trace. There is a mysterious entity known locally as "The Tall Man." The town nurse seems a bit skeptical about this tale until her young David disappears in the middle of the night. Desperate to rescue the boy, Julia lives every parent's darkest nightmare.
Yes! Those are the horrors this month! I'm so proud that so many awesome films are coming out this month!

Your photobook albums will be designed by our professional graphic designers, who use incredible care - and tons of expertise - to knit your photos into a beautiful, flowing, visual narrative.
(If you're a photographer you can choose to supply your own design instead, and you'll get an extra 10% discount.)
Every event, every story is different - and every album should be too. Each album is hand-designed so your photos get the best possible treatment, and because every set of photos is unique we never use templates - we believe the only way to create a truly outstanding album is to design it from scratch, every single time. We only use your photos, nothing else, and we'll design the albums according to whichever style you prefer. Within one week of ordering you'll receive a PDF of the design so you can check that you're completely happy with it before we print the albums.
We'll give you one set of design changes free of charge (up to a dozen photos), and after that we simply charge £1 per photo. After every set of changes we'll upload a new PDF of your design for you to approve.
Approximately 70% of customers are totally happy with the first draft of the design, and almost everyone else approves it after a few minor changes - which proves just how good our designers really are.
We have five design styles to choose from, each of them with their own unique benefits. Below are some examples of each (click to enlarge and scroll through).
You can also see lots more examples on our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

It's time that I share my secret recipe with you.
The recipe that makes people go "oh my."
The recipe that makes people go "how did you...?"
That's right. It's time for the marshmallows.
My brother shared this marshmallow recipe a few years ago, and I thought he was crazy for making his own marshmallows. But being such a sugar addict, I was pretty intrigued. Once I made them for myself, there was no turning back. So be careful, if you make these, you'll never buy the pre-bagged jet puffed ones again.
Basic Vanilla Marshmallows
4 gelatin envelopes
3/4 cup water
1 Tbs vanilla extract
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
1 1/4 cup corn syrup (Karo)
1/2 tsp salt
Coat a 9x13 and 8x8 pan with vegetable oil or non-stick spray.
Fit a stand mixer with the whisk attachment. In the mixer bowl combine the 3/4 cup of water with vanilla extract. Sprinkle the gelatin over the liquid to bloom (soften).
Add the sugar, salt, corn syrup, and remaining 3/4 cup water to a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil with the lid on and without stirring. When this mixture is at a boil, remove the lid and continue to cook without stirring until it reaches the soft-ball stage (234-240 F).
With the mixer at medium speed, pour all of the hot syrup slowly down the side of the bowl into the awaiting gelatin mixture. If you have a splatter shield for your mixer, I highly suggest you use it. This is going to whip for a long time and it will definitely splatter, and molten sugar is very hard to clean off counters and cabinets!
When all of the syrup is added, bring the mixer up to full speed. Whip until the mixture is very fluffy and stiff, about 8-10 minutes. Yes, you read that right!
Pour the marshmallow fluff into the oiled pans and pat the bottom to get all bubbles to surface. Allow the mixture to sit, uncovered at room temp for 10 to 12 hours. Place in on a high surface if you have a kitty that loves to lick sugar.
Sift confectioners sugar generously over the rested marshmallow slab. Turn the slab out onto a cutting board dusted with more confectioners sugar.
Slice with a pizza cutter into desired shapes. Dip all cut edges in sugar and shake off excess powder.
These marshmallows are the softest, most pillowy squares of sugary heaven you will ever taste. And you will never be the same.
Marshmallows will keep several weeks at room temp in a ziplock, but I'll be shocked if you make it that long without eating them all!

Mount Rainier and other wonderful sites in the Seattle area!
I got to try out my new telescopic lens and capture Mount Rainer in the Seattle Washington area. It is normally not visible because it is hidden behind clouds....but the sun came out one day so that I could capture its radiance. I was woweddddd! Mount Rainier is the highest volcanic mountain in Washington and the Cascade Mountain range. It stands at 14,411 feet and on sunny days is clearly visible from Seattle. Locals simply call it "The Mountain". Mt. Rainier has 26 major glaciers and is the heaviest glaciated mountain in the Lower 48 states. It is considered an active volcano with the most recent eruptive activity occurring in the 1800's. Thousands of people attempt to climb Mt. Rainier each year, with the majority climbing the Camp Muir and Disappointment Cleaver route. Mount Rainier National Park has numerous campgrounds and 2 visitors centers – Paradise and Sunrise. The best way to see the mountain is up close. You can take a scenic drive with beautiful vistas of the mountain, numerous waterfalls, colorful wildflowers, and old growth forest. For the more adventurous, you can hike around the park, go camping in the backcountry, or even embark on a climbing expedition to the summit of the mountain.

Coconut pancakes for one – (or two..!)
Happy Weekend to you! I love waking up on a Saturday morning and having the time to make myself the perfect breakfast, what ever that will be, scrambled eggs, homemade muesli and curd, bacon and avocado sandwiches, baked peppers etc.. there are so many delicious things I love to have for breakfast, one of them includes pancakes….. delicious coconut pancakes!
When I decided to cut back on my white carbs, I was always saddest about saying goodbye to pancakes, I've tried a few different ones, buckwheat – which is ok for savoury, and have tried a few coconut pancakes, a lot of them were quite eggy and not quite right… I came across a banana and blueberry pancake made with almond flour and have been eaten them ever since, until….the other week, I came across coconut flour in the supermarket! About time this lovely tropical country, which has an abundance of coconuts sells flour I thought! Although I have worked out how to make my own coconut flour, it's so much easier when it's ready made!! I fancied re-looking at the coconut flour pancake idea, a less eggy one this time and came across a 'puffy' pancake recipe. My next hurdle was although I have a deep love for pancakes my husband can take or leave them! Shocking really! A lot of the recipes I found are for two, or even four and not easy to half (so three eggs for two portions) So I played around a bit – terrible time having to keep making pancakes every weekend – to perfect the recipe for one, which of course can be doubled for two on the occasions my husband does fancy some pancakes.
I've been eating them not only for breakfast but also when I have a twang for a treat! I highly recommend you serve them with cream and fruit. I love cream and think it adds deliciousness to any dish and this one is certainly not excluded!!
Coconut Pancakes for One (double for two!)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon of honey
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons milk
pinch salt
pinch ground vanilla
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tablespoons of coconut flour
nob of butter and tablespoon of coconut oil for frying
One bowl
Frying pan
Into a bowl, crack the egg and add the honey, coconut oil, milk, salt, vanilla, and mix. Get the frying pan on a medium heat with a nob of butter and a tablespoon of coconut oil. Then add the baking powder and coconut flour, mix again and don't worry if you see a few lumps.
Using a tablespoon put a dollop of the mix in the frying pan, you should get four dollops, pat them down a little if they don't spread. Wait a minute then turn the heat to low, leave if for 3-5 minutes then carefully flip them over, turn the heat to medium to crisp the edges and brown the pancake, then back down to low to ensure it's cooked all the way through.
Choose your fruit, plate up, and add cream! So far I've tried cherries, bananas and strawberries….
First attempt with cherries, you know, I do love cherries, there is so much amazing fruit available in Sri Lanka but unfortunately cherries is not one of them!
Second time with bananas, my favourite variety is Seeni… small, sweet and delicious.
Possibly my favourite, strawberry and cream pancake sandwich! How will you eat yours?
Take care, have a good weekend and enjoy your pancakes!
This post is part of Fight Back Friday, lovers of REAL food, check it out for more great recipes and knowledge about REAL food!

A Stitcher's Wardrobe: A Wingfeathers Outfit
6 comments:
- Teri said...
Okay, I surrender! I bought the Wingfeathers pattern. I can crochet, but it seems so much simpler than lace knitting that I don't do it very often. I have a skein of Dream in Color Baby (which I bought for another project, thinking it was red. It's orange). Should work out fine for this.
I have a new electric cord for my boyfriend's Singer, so I might actually be tempted to sew this weekend. (I have at least four working sewing machines, but this one is different! Sometimes that's all it takes.)

I love seeing your outfits! (and, yes, to deep pockets-my iPhone has fallen out many, many times) I've been getting back into sewing with the goal of making most of my clothes, eventually. Making an attempt at Wingfeathers also, though I am not much of a crocheter. I'm a big fan of Cal's, so I'm trying to teach myself how to follow the directions.

Hooray!! Two new junkies! We are all going to be looking fabulous.

General Contractor
Modern Structures LLC is a full service general contracting firm, holding a Residential, Commercial and Industrial Contracting License in the State of Tennessee
Marcus Smith founded Modern Structures, LLC in 2002 building on childhood memories of watching a new home as it seemed to rise out of the ground becoming an amazing master-crafted home. His passion for construction and customer service has grown stronger with every project.
Customer Service is one of Modern Structures strongest attributes with flexibility and willingness to start at any phase of construction bidding to building. Providing assistance with Zoning and Engineering from Architecture until the Certificate of Occupancy. Marcus Smith meets personally with each customer and is on site daily to follow up with all subcontractors to ensure quality workmanship.
Modern Structures LLC offers a 1-year builder's warranty and stands behind the quality of our product whole-heartedly!
I have only known Marcus Smith of "Modern Structures" since October of 2011 when we first met to discuss building our new home. I retired in January and my wife and I decided to sell our home of 10 years in Knoxville and move back to the Middle Tennessee area.
I'd built one house in the past myself but this time I wanted a contractor I felt I could trust to build my home in a timely manner and Marcus met my requirements. We had our house plans that we thought would be perfect, but thank goodness Marcus suggested changes that made our perfect house even better.
We started the building process in October and moved in March, 2012. Considering this was winter months and bad weather, the process went better than I expected. Marcus was on top of the building process at all times and kept his subcontractors on track. Something else I've been please with is warranty service after completion.
In summary, I highly recommend Modern Structures for any future building projects you may have.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

NHL CapsulesNHL.com @NHLdotcom
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -Martin Brodeur shut out the Dallas Stars even though he couldn't quite shut up Sean Avery.
Brodeur made 21 saves for his 98th NHL shutout, and mostly avoided Avery, his No. 1 nemesis, to help the New Jersey Devils beat the Dallas Stars 5-0 Wednesday night.
John Madden scored two goals for the Devils, who chased former Michigan teammate Marty Turco from the net in the second period. Zach Parise and David Clarkson had goals 53 seconds apart in the third period, and Jamie Langenbrunner also scored.
Brodeur is five shutouts away from Terry Sawchuk's NHL record of 103 and eight wins shy of Patrick Roy's league mark of 551.
Avery made headlines last spring when he waved his arms and stick in the face of Brodeur while he and the New York Rangers were on a power play.
A rule eliminated the practice the following day, but couldn't stop the battle between the Vezina Trophy winner and the NHL's most despised player. Brodeur refused to shake Avery's hand after the Rangers knocked New Jersey out in the first round.
Brodeur gave Avery a few shoves to try to move him out of the crease in their latest meeting, and Avery complained that penalties weren't called. Brodeur also fired a puck at Avery during a clearing attempt from behind the net in the second period.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Former Philadelphia star Jeremy Roenick scored the deciding goal in a shootout for San Jose to hand Philadelphia its season-opening sixth straight loss. Joe Pavelski also scored for San Jose in the shootout.
Pavelski and Roenick both beat Martin Biron to the glove side to help the Sharks salvage the victory after they blow a 6-4 lead in the third period.
Pavelski had a goal and assist in regulation, Patrick Marleau added two goals and two assists, and Ryane Clowe and Devin Setoguchi each had a goal and an assist. The Sharks have won six of their first seven games.
Joffrey Lupul scored twice and Jeff Carter, Mike Richards, Scottie Upshall and Danny Briere added goals for the winless Flyers. Briere tied it with 1:05 left in the third period when he punched the puck past goalie Evgeni Nabokov during a wild power-play scramble in front of the net.
OTTAWA (AP) - Craig Anderson made 41 saves - 26 in the third period - in his first start of the season for Florida, and Rostislav Olesz and Nathan Horton scored 48 seconds apart early in the first period.
Cory Stillman assisted on Horton's goal that made it 2-0 in the first, then scored his third of the season midway through the second to restore Florida's two-goal lead.
Daniel Alfredsson had a power-play goal for Ottawa.
CHICAGO (AP) - Nikolai Khabibulin made 23 saves for his 39th career NHL shutout and Chicago ended Edmonton's season-opening winning streak at four games.
Patrick Sharp, Brent Seabrook and Aaron Johnson scored to help the Blackhawks win their second straight game and improve to 2-0-1 since Joel Quenneville replaced Denis Savard as coach last Thursday.
Khabibulin's shutout was his first of the season and fourth since he joined the Blackhawks as a free agent in July 2005.
ST. LOUIS (AP) -Tomas Holmstrom scored for the fourth straight game for Detroit.
The Red Wings improved to 3-0 on the road and ended the Blues' season-opening home winning streak at three. Detroit is 4-0-1 after opening with a loss to Toronto.
Henrik Zetterberg, Nicklas Lidstrom and Johan Franzen also scored for Detroit. Keith Tkachuk, Brad Boyes and T.J. Oshie scored for the Blues.

It hundreds of years for the natural succession process to reach its apex. Initial founder populations of trees grow in 30 years if deliberately planted, but the forest continues to mature for several generations of trees. Human reforestation projects are intended to generate tree cover as fast as possible to control erosion and/or a subsequent harvest and are about as natural as a corn field. In the coastal rainforests, the natural succession process can take 2500 years to achieve an apex community.
In recent years, radical environmentalists like David Suzuki have said that the bees are disappearing — dying off because of evil capitalism and all our pesticides.
These people remind me of 9/11 Truthers. They can't change their mind and they won't change the subject.
As we showed you in this video here, bee colonies are doing just fine.
Now a new study shows that so-called organic pesticides, the stuff all these enviro-nuts told us to use instead, still kill bees.
All the home remedies, the quackery — garlic eucalyptus oil, citronella oil — not only kill bees, but they don't work as well as "evil" pesticides.
How about we move on from the fake bee crisis, with the fake bee solutions, and focus on real problems.
