Trainers battle down to the wire
GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas - This is war, or at least that's what it looks like on paper Wednesday night at Lone Star Park.
With only five days of racing left at the meet and a training title hanging in the balance, Steve Asmussen and Cole Norman will start horses in eight of the nine races on the card.
Both have top contenders in the featured eighth race, a one-mile conditioned allowance that drew the Asmussen-trained entry of Heffelfinger and Rockies, and Norman's Remember the Party.
Asmussen, the all-time win leader at Lone Star who has won the past three titles at the track, leads Norman in the standings, 78-75.
Asmussen has entered 10 horses in eight races Wednesday, while Norman, the highest win-percentage trainer at the meet looking for his first Lone Star title, will start three horses in two races. Overall this season, the two trainers have won 153 of the 630 races carded at Lone Star.
Heffelfinger might have the upper hand in the eighth race based on company lines. In his last start he finished third to Seainsky, who returned in his next start to run third in the Grade 2 Arlington Classic. A closer, Heffelfinger will be more dependent on pace than Remember the Party, but should get an honest pace to chase Wednesday.
In addition to the training title, the race for leading owner could go down to the wire. Turf Express Inc. leads the standings with 22 wins, one more than defending champ Kenneth Murphy.
Among jockeys, Corey Lanerie appears to have locked up his third title at Lone Star. He leads the colony with 77 wins, while Anthony Lovato and Gerard Melancon are deadlocked in second with 55 wins each. The title will cap a big first half of the year for Lanerie, who in March won the Grade 2, $500,000 New Orleans Handicap with Parade Leader.
Action Tonight to Middleground
Action Tonight, winner of the colts and geldings division of the $122,500 Texas Stallion Stakes series for 2-year-olds on June 29, will make one more appearance at the meet in the $100,000 Middleground Breeders' Cup, run over six furlongs Saturday.
"He came out of his last race bucking and playing, so we have to give it a try," said Danny Pish, who trains Action Tonight.
Action Tonight is a half-brother to First Attraction, a past winner of the Jean Lafitte Futurity at Delta Downs.
The Middleground is one of three stakes scheduled for closing weekend at Lone Star. The closing day $100,000 Silver Spur Breeders' Cup on Sunday is for 2-year-old fillies over six furlongs
Also on the Sunday card will be the $75,000 Bob Johnson for 3-year-olds and up at a mile. Officials said probables are Grade 3 Texas Mile winner Unrullah Bull; Grade 3 Lone Star Park runner-up Prince Iroquois; Race on Green, Compendium, Big Numbers, Mountain General, and Rare Cure.
* Horsemen have claimed 240 horses through 65 days of racing for total receipts of $3,245,000. That's an average of $13,520 a claim this meet at Lone Star.

Friday, 13 July 2012
The roads in northern Guatemala are some of the most dangerous in the Americas for hijacking and robbery, as well as being a major drug trafficking route. However, it also contains the spectacular Mayan ruins at Tikal, and picturesque vistas of Lake Petén and Flores. It is definitely not a place where you want to be on the road at night though. So while the initial plan was to stop off at Tikal and spend the night at Flores, I ended up heading straight to Flores and heading back (only about 20km or so) to Tikal the next day. The road itself was in pretty good shape, besides a few patches under construction. I'd been warned the road was horrendous, but I didn't find it so bad. Flores is a pretty little village on a island in the middle of Lake Petén. Connected to the mainland by a small causeway, Flores has managed to capture the essence of a mediterranean island, with the cobblestone streets and general decor. Tuk tuks are the only form of public transport here - cars struggle to fit on the small streets, let alone a bus. Not that they're really needed - the whole island is about 700m around the edge. The hostel I had looked at was full, but the manager recommended and booked my a cheap hostel, so I headed there and after a nice cheap dinner, I was out like a light.
The next morning I headed off to Tikal in the arvo, after a slow start. Tikal is incredible: jungle surrounds the 4000 buildings spread over 16 sqkm, the ancient city is certainly more impressive and serene than Chichen Itza or other competitors for the tourist dollar. The best part - you can actually climb several of the temples, including temple 4 - as the tallest temple, it offers unparalleled views of the other buildings poking out of the jungle. The stairs are pretty steep (a few fatal accidents have caused several temples to be closed for climbing), and quickly proved how much my fitness has suffered over this holiday!
The next day was a big one. The plan was to make it all the way to Antigua, and to climb Volcan Pacaya the following morning. Google maps and my GPS were in agreement that the journey would be about 480kms, and google said it would take 6hrs 30mins. I left Flores in my rear view mirrors at 10am, to give myself plenty of time before sunset at 630pm. The first few kms out of town were compacted limestone, but not too bad. It turned to bitumen with a few potholes, so it was looking good - it was sunny out, and I was ahead of schedule. I caught a quick barge ferry across a river (cost about 50cents!) and headed into the mountainside. This is where things got interesting, as the road became less straight. To be honest, a bowl of Ramen noodles has more straight lines than this road. Consecutive rising and falling hairpin bends connected by centimetres of straight road made for exciting, yet scary riding. Overtaking is heart in mouth stuff. If it was any steeper or twistier, it would have been a series of roundabouts stacked on top of one another. The upside? the road was a beautifully smooth and young bitumen. If there's ever a Central American TT, all they need is a few cones and checquered flag. Of course, Casey Stoner and co. may not be so happy about the landslides and collapsed sections of road. I was loving it, and still ahead of schedule. Then things took a turn for the slower and more adventurous.
Firstly, the road condition deterioated - it became a single lane old rural road on a slope so steep, the road seemed to lean out into the abyss. I had used the brakes so hard, that they started to weaken, and had to slow down further to avoid an accidental Evel Kinevel impersonation. Then the bitumen dissapeared, and I was on a limestone and rock track leading from farmhouse to farmhouse. Eventually, the road disappeared altogether.
No, I wasn't lost and the road hadn't petered out. I had come up to what was supposed to be a bridge, except all I could see was the supports. Thinking that the bridge had suffered from the developing world curse of long building periods, I cursed the GPS and Google. Then I looked downstream and saw the bridge, not on another set of supports but in the river. Several tons of metal, a perfect truss bridge, lying on its side and rusting away in the water. Some locals were shooting the breeze nearby, and I must have turned to them with a expressions along the lines of "what the hell?", because they were quick to explain that the bridge had been washed away in a flood 2 YEARS AGO. I knew things moved slowly in CA, but this was ridiculous. As I was contemplating how much I didn't want to turn around and backtrack, one of the men explained that I might be able to take the boat. This got my hopes up, until I saw what he meant - a small raft on a rowpe pulled by a couple of men (the river was only waist deep). The raft was about the size of a study desk, but the 'boatmen' seemed confident, and I was up for a bit of an adventure. After a bit of offroading up the river bank to the raft, we rested Isabella on her side for the journey across. They then put me in an inflatible dinghy, and I followed. It wasn't the most dignified crossing, but we both made it across, safe and sound (and relatively dry).
While this was all happening, the sun was retreating. I was stuck in the middle of nowhere with night rapidly approaching. This was not good, but I had to persevere - camping out in this country is not an option. I headed through a few towns asking if there was a hotel/hostel/etc, and in San Raymundo I struck gold. The local Tacqueira owner knew someone who knew someone who would let me stay at their house. I was a bit nervous, but happy to be off the road. As it turns out, it was actually a hotel (my Spanish is not great yet), but no Holiday Inn that's for sure. It must have been for locals visiting families or something, as it had no real sign, and was off the only real road. Anyway, the guy took me in, showed me my room, and after I thanked everyone and had a delicious meal of tacos (I had missed lunch in the rush to Antigua), I collapsed.
The next morning I headed for Antigua, and after a short ride I hit the famous Panamerican highway. This road runs from Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina (with a small break at the Darién Gap) and will feature prominently in my trip from now on (I may have already ridden parts in North America, but it's loosely defined and so difficult to be sure). After a few days of twisting dirt tracks, the CA-1 was as smooth as glass, and as straight as a ruler. Bliss - 60mph+ all the way. After arriving in Antigua, I got booked into a hostel and a seat on the afternoon shuttle up Volcan Pacaya.
The volcano hasn't been recently active (unlike a neighbouring volcano, which erupted in May), so I didn't see any molten lava but did see the effects of both a 2006 andd 2010 eruptuion. It proved to be an exhausting, yet interesting trek. The next morning, I headed out to Isabella to find out that we had been robbed. I keep all my valuables on me at all times, so nothing of extreme importance was stolen - some clothes and camping gear was all. Still, it was annoying. So instead of getting an early start to El Salvador, I spent an hour or so at the tourist police office, filling out a report for insurance purposes. Guatemala has an unbelievably low conviction rate, so I knew there was no hope of getting my stuff back. After filling out the forms, I headed to the border.

Hey mate it's Jack and Annette.ReplyDelete
How about those Guatemalan roads hey haha, hope the bike got through it ok. We are in Belize and going back to that island for a month. turns out it was amazing! Bike is going good but a branch fell on it last night after a storm. Can't believe you got robbed in Antigua, was the bike on the street? Good luck with your travels mate.
This is our blog if you want to check it out. http://annetteandjack.blogspot.com/
Looks like we both had some bad luck! yeah she was outside - hostel didn't have parking. In León, Nicaragua now and will post about Honduras & El Salvador soon. You need to check out Lago de Yojoa in Honduras - there is a nice hostel/brewery there,and the road to Tegucigalpa is the nicest road I've been on all trip (newly built by Uncle Sam!).

EAA B-17 Bomber Visit to Seattle, WA (May 21, 2008 10am - 5pm)
I saw this B-17 (Aluminum Overcast in 398th B.G colors) flying over Puget Sound out my office window today and took a couple photos. It is being hosted at the Museum of Flight for Memorial Day weekend. It was a treat for a WWII collector to see a little flying history.

Distance from Stockton, CA to Manlius, NY
Driving distance between Stockton, CA and Manlius, NY is 0 miles (or 0 kilometers). If you drove an average car (using about 3.6 gallons of gas per mile), the gas would cost you around $, since you would need about gallons of fuel.
Leaving from Stockton, CA you would reach Manlius, NY in about 0 seconds if you keep an average speed of miles per hour, assuming you don't make any breaks or get stuck in traffic.

I just want to say a massive Merry Christmas to all of my blog followers and anybody else who may be reading! This is a bit of a short post mainly because today is all about spending time with my family & relaxing, as it should be and I've only just got round to having some down time of my own and typing this up, at half ten at night sorry everyone. I'm also quite shocked how fast today has flown in (and thats saying a lot when you've been up since 8am - thats like the crack of dawn on the holidays) but its been amazing nonetheless.
I think because I've been working crazy hours in the run up to Christmas and I really have had to juggle everything about instead of leisurely buying presents for everyone I've learnt to appreciate Christmas even more, if that makes sense? Yesterday it felt so weird to be working on Christmas Eve instead of watching Christmas movies and visiting friends/family and tomorrow I'll be working Boxing Day - not before a sneaky early morning trip to the sales, I couldn't not take advantage of those so today was my proper day off and it meant I was more appreciative.
A typical morning in our house on Christmas is waking up (usually at a ridiculous time) although its getting later as we get older, no 6am starts anymore and unwrapping all of our presents in front of the tree which I absolutely love doing - it makes it all the more fun ripping the paper off, I know some people don't get their presents wrapped but I personally prefer it! After presents its all about the food, both breakfast and starting the lunch and playing/looking at everything that we've got in more detail I guess and thanking everyone :) Once the foods on its time to settle down and watch some good old Christmas movies or Christmas tv until lunch time which usually works out at mid afternoon.
By 4pm everyones off for a nap, its just that time in the day when everything catches up on you and you need a little energy boost for the rest of the day and the Christmas tv programmes like Doctor Who, Coronation Street and Strictly Come Dancing - I told you my tv habits are like I'm like sixty five at heart, not always a bad thing I guess. In amongst all of the tv watching and the odd board game or two, I consume as much chocolate as physically possible, I hope I'm not the only one! This year I actually made everyone play Cluedo this year, its a tradition that everyone disappears whenever I get it out but this year they didn't and I surprisingly won the game, what can I say I love being a detective?
So maybe this post wasn't as short as I thought it would be but I'm definitely tired and I've to get up early for work and shopping tomorrow so I'm sure I'll be out for the count by half eleven... I'm getting old but I just wanted to say a huge Merry Christmas to you all :) I hope you's all had a wonderful day with your friends and family, you stuffed your faces and Santa brought you everything that you wanted!
Thanks for reading, Jenny xo
P.s whats your Christmas Day like?

By VCFA grad and classmate Carol Allen
Since July 2009, I've cheered for my fellow Vermont College classmates and reveled, vicariously, in their many successful writing and publishing and award winning endeavors…. and wrung my hands guiltily because I've written precious little; too little, in fact, to even mention.
This summer I realized another reason to cheer for my classmates, and every other writer of books for youth: I was on vacation with my grandchildren, ages 10 and 13, and they are readers. They came to me armed with favorite books, then raided my shelves to find others. When Gran was too tired to go one more step, no problem. They pulled out their books, and they read. Alex, age 13, was reading The Eighty-Dollar Champion by Elizabeth Letts. Dani, age 10, was reading whatever she picked up. She proudly told me she was almost finished with one of the Harry Potter books, which she left at home.
Huh? I've yet to read one!
The girls are what I call good readers. They are critical readers. "Hey Gran," Dani would call. "Listen to this. Isn't that funny?" And she would read from whatever she had in her hands. Even more fun was when she struck a pose as a librarian or teacher, read a page from a picture book, then turned the book and waved it from right to left so Alex and I could see the illustrations. Woe to us if we didn't give her our full attention!
And then from Alex: "Hey Gran, what do you think about this?" And she read a paragraph from her book.
"What do you think about that?" I answered.
Her forehead creased in concentration and she thought a minute. "It's like there's way too much stuff here. The author is telling me too much."
Hmmmm. Where have I heard that before?
I loved hearing Alex tell me what she thought about Holes, by Louis Sachar. She declared A Swift Pure Cry by Siobhan Dowd as her favorite book ever, and even pronounced the author's name correctly!
While Dani was reading picture books on vacation, and left Harry Potter behind, she declared that ever since the Baby Mouse books, "I'm into graphic novels." Sigh.
The conversations I've had with these two granddaughters about the books they read have made me grateful to the parents and teachers who are raising readers. If you haven't recently experienced the fun of talking to young people about the books they are reading, I suggest you try it. You're in for a treat.

management careers
Search by keyword:
Operations Management is the heart of any company. It involves the essential steps of producing goods, quality control, quality management, managing the supply chain, facilities management, product formulation and design, ordering of goods, warehousing of goods, contacting vendors, purchasing of external products. There are millions of good jobs available in operations management and these positions offer substantial upward promotion potential.
You would normally start in a line associate position reporting up through a supply chain department or a plant manager. You would have specific responsibilities such as monitoring warehouse inventory levels, vendor management or shift supervisor. In time you could rise to be a plant manager or a VP level person overseeing a broad range of operational tasks in a company. Ultimately, an operations manager has the opportunity to rise to become the Chief Operating Officer.
A related discipline is operations research. This area involves the use of quantitative tools such as dynamic programming to solve corporate problems such as how to schedule arrivals of airplanes at a hub.
An undergraduate degree in operations management would be strong preparation for this field. Not all entry level positions require this degree. An MBA or Masters in operations management is also very good preparation. The masters degree will allow you to start at a higher level in the management chain.
These positions require excellent people skills, the ability to master processes and mechanical matters and intelligence. It is important to be familiar with information technology, quantitative analysis, people management and problem solving.
We invite you to learn more about operations management – one of the most rapidly growing career areas in the economy. Feel free to review the materials below as you explore your opportunity in operations management.

Although Julius Way has been making music for years now, he now finds himself in the middle of a genre of music that is suddenly in vogue. Think Fleet Foxes, Stornoway, older Iron & Wine stuff and any of the alt folk pastoral artists. Recorded last year in Dartmoor it has certainly taken on it's surrounding. It may not be a log cabin in the Catskills, but we have places of such beauty here too.
I Will Live leads you in gently to the album, before the joyous clattering and clinking of Jessie's Yurt, when everything feels so alive. Cradle is a delightful surprise, awash with fuzzy effects to start with, which pop back in now and again. The effects free bits feel a bit fey in comparison, but it leaves you in anticipation of the hazier stuff. Friends is beautifully ethereal, the gorgeous voice of Bex Baxter interweaving with that of Julius Way wonderfully. Enemy goes all medieval on us, then The Dusk does remind me a lot of the aforementioned Stornoway, strong vocals and deft touch. There is a sense that the album is a bit too long at 13 tracks for this type of music to hold your attention, but when you persevere to final track Slow Death, where Bex Baxter is back with her heavenly voice, everything seems worthwhile.
Everything you want to know about Julius Way, plus streaming and album download are here

YouTube celeb Jake Paul ain't trying to get on the A-list ... he's more about the B-list, as in BILLIONAIRE.
We got Jake at LAX Monday where we congratulated him on plunking down $7 mil for a sick new Calabasas crib. Turns out Jake's early goal was to buy a pad in that area. So, he's checked that box.
What's next for the 20-year-old? He unloaded a list of goals for us, and pay attention to the biggest one -- 10 years from now Jake plans to be pretty high on the Forbes list.
Don't count him out.

Normally, there's very little reason to visit the area of Beijing bounded to the east and west by West Third and Second Ring Roads and to the north and south by subway Lines 1 and 4. However, something very special happens every spring between late March and the beginning of May: cherry blossom season at Yuyuantan Park.
I've mentioned Yuyuantan before in the beijingkids print edition, but if you haven't been before I would really recommend going before the blooming period ends.
At 137 hectares, Yuyuantan is modest by Beijing standards. The park is dominated by two bodies of water imaginatively named the East Lake and the West Lake.
The cherry trees are concentrated in the northwest quadrant of the park. Now numbering in the thousands, they are descended from 180 specimens given to China from Japan in 1973.
When my dad and I visited the park in 2011, there were throngs of people picknicking under the trees and posing for pictures with the riot of pink, yellow, and white cherry blossoms. Hawkers sold street snacks, fake cherry blossom crowns, toys, and other knickknacks.
We spent the afternoon strolling between the trees, taking pictures, and people watching – not doing much at all except enjoying the beautiful spring weather.
The more ambitious can make a day trip out of Yuyuantan and the nearby Military Museum, which is located right by the subway near the south gate of the park. The CCTV Tower, which offers panoramic views of Beijing for a fee, is also nearby.
There are two public restrooms within the cherry tree area, but I'd recommend bringing hand sanitizer and tissues just in case. Avoid going on weekends if you can; otherwise, show up early to claim a prime picnic spot. Pack enough food and snacks to last you for the day, as the onsite options are pretty limited.

The User's Guide to Spiritual Teachers - Introduction
A wise and practical quickstart guide for anyone who wants—or already has—a spiritual teacher.
HOW THIS BOOK CAN HELP? Welcome. If you're like most readers of this book, you picked it up because you're feeling two strong pulls. The first pull is a stirring inside you—an internal pressure to live a deeper life, to become more of the person you were meant to be. Maybe it's an urge to deepen your connection with others, with yourself, with the world, or with God (in whatever way you define God). Or perhaps it's some urgent, recurring question about your mission or place in life. Or maybe it's a call to look closely and honestly at some of the most basic dilemmas of being human. You can feel this force inside you, pushing you toward something larger than yourself, toward completeness—even though you may not know in what direction to move or what spiritual path to follow. The second pull is the need for one-to-one spiritual direction. You might already meditate, pray, chant, or engage in some other spiritual practice. You might read philosophy, or spiritual essays, or the writings of people such as Rumi or Thich Nhat Hanh or Thérèse of Lisieux or Rabbi Nachman of Breslau. But you also yearn for more: spiritual guidance from a perceptive, caring, trustworthy human being. Ideally, this person can point out the spiritual choices that present themselves to you and the likely consequences of selecting each one. They can help you see the trajectory you're traveling and the opportunities and difficulties that may lie ahead. They can help you navigate the often-stormy waters of your own heart and mind. They can help you regain your spiritual footing when you slip and tumble. They can address your most pressing spiritual questions, concerns, and fears. And they can help you discover—and take up— your unique place and purpose in the world. You might feel strongly that you'll find this person within the religious tradition in which you were raised. Or you might feel just the opposite: that you need to explore one or more traditions that have been unfamiliar to you. Or you might feel caught somewhere in between, not sure where to look or just what to look for. Regardless of your background, however, you feel—like so many of us—that you cannot move forward entirely on your own. You need the help of someone who has walked the path before you, who can help point the way. Such a person is usually called a spiritual teacher—or, sometimes, a spiritual counselor, coach, director, or mentor. (In this book, for clarity's sake, I'll call all these people spiritual teachers.) In the wired, webbed life of the twenty-first century, all of us have a huge array of these teachers to choose from. Not surprisingly, they range from enormously helpful to actively harmful. Yet we can't go shopping for a spiritual teacher the way we would for a florist or a caterer or a shoe repair shop, because the opening of the human heart can't be treated like a service or a commodity. It's important to feel an affinity with your spiritual teacher. This rarely comes just from reading someone's books, watching their videos, or exploring their website. You'll need to carefully discern whether someone is a good spiritual teacher for you. (You of course get to make mistakes, change teachers, or both.) Often this process involves slow discovery, trial and error, and lots of uncertainty. This uncertainty may include a whole raft of questions. For example, what qualifications should you look for in a spiritual teacher? What attributes of a teacher genuinely matter, and which ones don't matter much? How can you tell a good spiritual teacher from a less helpful one—or from someone who's a fraud, a predator, or mentally ill? Can the same spiritual teacher be great for one person but terrible for another? What's the etiquette for asking someone to be your spiritual teacher? Can your regular minister, priest, or rabbi become your spiritual teacher? Are these even the right questions to ask? And once you've become someone's student, what will you be expected to do or commit to? Should you feel a binding sense of loyalty to the teacher, or are you free to go elsewhere at any time? Can you have two or more different teachers at once? If so, how do you navigate the relationships? After you've found a good teacher, how do you build a strong, healthy, and mutually respectful relationship with them? What can you do to make the most of that relationship? And what can you do to avoid the dangers and dilemmas that often arise, such as idealizing the teacher, imagining that they know more than they do, or expecting them to solve your biggest problems for you? Beyond that, what are the warning signs that something about your relationship with a teacher isn't right? At what point does someone stop being a teacher and start becoming a cult leader? When does being someone's student stunt rather than encourage your growth? Then there are the nuts-and-bolts questions. Is it okay for a spiritual teacher to charge money? To ask you questions about your personal life? To treat one student differently from another? How do you balance the requirements of spiritual practice or study with the needs of your family and the demands of your work? And what about your most profound spiritual questions—the ones that put you on this path in the first place? Is there a right and a wrong way to bring them to a spiritual teacher? Should you expect direct answers, or guidance in finding those answers yourself, or simply a refocusing or reframing of those questions? Perhaps most important, what can you do to support your efforts—and the efforts of your teacher—so that you become fully yourself and a deeply positive force in the world? If these are the kind of questions you're asking—welcome. You're in the right place and reading the right book. This book won't answer your deepest religious and spiritual questions for you. But it will answer most of the questions I've listed above—and it will give you the tools, information, and guidance you need to answer many more for yourself. The words spiritual and spirituality mean many different things to different people. One person thinks spirituality means getting a rush up their spine. Another thinks it means communicating with angels. A third thinks it's about sitting cross-legged until their legs go numb. A fourth thinks it's about volunteering at a soup kitchen. In this book I use the word spirituality sparingly, preferring other, more specific words whenever possible. I use the adjective spiritual more often—almost always in the context of spiritual teachers, leaders, traditions, organizations, and so on. In my use of these words, they refer to any activity that is meant to make us more aware, more human, and more whole. Whenever you hear anyone use the words spiritual and spirituality, know that the words have a profusion of meanings. It's worth asking the speaker how they define those terms. It would be unreasonable of me to expect you to take everything I say on faith—and just as unwise for you to follow my guidance without first knowing who I am. For the past forty years I've studied spirituality and religion—and Buddhism and Judaism in particular—with several spiritual teachers. In all cases, the relationships have been positive and productive—though, like everyone, I've had my share of challenges and spiritual crises. I've also been fortunate to have several friends who are spiritual teachers. I've spent a great deal of time with these people outside of their formal roles as teachers—in their homes, on social occasions, and in many restaurants and bars. In addition, I've been privileged to serve as editor and literary agent for four spiritual teachers. I'm a committed proponent of serious spirituality in all forms and traditions. I've also been a member of Methodist, Quaker, Zen, and Jewish congregations. I'm the author of over a dozen books that help people to deepen and open their lives. My writing on spiritual topics has also been published in a variety of magazines, books, and other media. One thing I'm not, however, is a spiritual teacher. I'm simply someone who has been in several long-term student-teacher relationships; who has closely observed many other such relationships; who has interacted with many spiritual teachers off duty; and who is able to write about student-teacher relationships honestly and, I hope, articulately. Please read my words with an open mind—and take them with a pinch of salt. Accept what feels wholesome, right, and useful—and set aside what doesn't. When, on occasion, I become emphatic, it's to stress the seriousness of what I have to say, not to demand your obedience. When I repeatedly emphasize a few key themes, my intent is to underscore their importance and subtlety, not to express doubt about your ability to pay attention. Here is my most vital advice for learning from any spiritual teacher. Show up; pay close attention to what you see and hear; then test it all against what your heart, mind, and gut tell you. This mindful discernment is the single most important skill for navigating any student-teacher relationship—as well as the turbulent waters of life in general. Ultimately, you will discover that you are the one who must do the work; the teacher can only point the way and remind you of what you alreadyknow. Journey wisely. Journey well.

At a candidates forum Friday night, Washington County Commissioner Bert L. Iseminger and Commissioners President Gregory I. Snook said they have learned from criticism of the county for not releasing how much money former Economic Development Commission Director John Howard was paid when he retired.
Snook and Iseminger made the comments at a forum attended by about 75 people at the Hagerstown Community College facilities at Valley Mall.
The event for the 10 candidates for the five commissioners seats on the Nov. 5 ballot was hosted by students from a college class on state and local government in cooperation with the League of Women Voters.

The fire-bell clanged urgently. The huge engine swept into view, swung into Rosemary Street, Belfast, and stopped. The six members of its crew jumped into action and in a matter of seconds were running their ladder to the rooftop.
Even before the ladder was in position a crowd of several hundred had gathered. They all asked the same question: "Where's the fire?"
No smoke could be seen. No crackling of burning could be heard. Nothing could be heard but a plaintive cry from the rooftop. As plainly as words, the cry was a plea for rescue.
As the crowd watched, the firemen ran out their ladder and in a moment a helmeted figure was clambering up it towards the figure which every now and then risked a peep over the edge of the parapet.
The crowd watched breathlessly as the fireman reached up, took the quivering body in his arms and made his descent.
As soon as ground was reached the rescued one leaped from the fireman's arms and made off – as only a frightened, starving white cat can.
The little drama was enacted at 7.30 last night. A woman had heard the cries of the stranded cat all day long and had phoned the Fire Brigade, asking could they help.
They did.

Crime novel fans were delighted to hear the news that JK Rowling, creator of the massively successful Harry Potter series, was publishing her second detective tome under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Last year, Rowling as Galbraith, published The Cuckoo's Calling, her first crime novel. It was hailed critically and became a number one bestseller. Wait a minute! Why is perhaps the number one recognized author in the world writing under a pen name? The answer. Dead bodies lead to fame and fortune.
It is well know in literary circles that high brow literary critics look down their nose at crime novels and whodunits. They consider it a lesser form of fiction and do not place those authors in the upper echelons of fiction prose stylists. Thus, a number of authors in recent years have gone "underground" and written a crime novel with a pseudonym in order to express themselves in this genre.
A major case in point is John Banville, the Irish novelist who won the Booker prize in 2005 for his fourteenth novel, The Sea. Having won other literary accolades, Banville is often mentioned as an eventual contender for the Nobel Prize in literature. Some critics have heaped such praise on him as being the heir to Proust and Nabokov.
Starting in 2006, Banville began writing a series of detective novels under the pen name of Benjamin Black. The series, starting with Christine Falls, features a Dublin, Ireland-based pathologist named Quirke in the 1950s who helps detectives crack murder inquiries. His most recent novel is Holy Orders and later this year he will publish The Black-Eyed Blonde, a Phillip Marlow novel.
At first book buyers did not know Benjamin Black and John Banville were one and the same person until he was "outed." Even before it became public that Banville was Black, the books received critical praise and strong sales. Banville has said in interviews that he did not think he would be taken seriously if critics and the public thought he had written a whodunit. He also suggested that he felt critics were dismissive crime fiction. The success of the Quirke series has spawned a TV mini series called Quirke featuring Gabriel Byrne in the lead role. It had been released in the UK and Ireland but the series has not made available yet in the United States. JK Rowling good fame and fortune from dead bodies bag ran coming Banville's way.
When The Cuckoo's Calling was first published last year, no one knew Rowling was the author. At first the novel had mediocre sales but garnered some nice critical reviews. A short time later, Rowling was outed as Galbraith and sales skyrocketed. Someone connected to Rowling's publishing house let the secret slip. After a tweet, the news rapidly spread.
In The Cuckoo's Calling, Rowling created a sympathetic London-based detective named Cormoran Strike who is disabled. His literary cousin might be Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade. Strike and his freshman assistant have to track down a supermodel's killer. Like Banville, Rowling knew that dead bodies lead to fame and fortune. The new Rowling as Robert Galbraith novel is called The Silkworm and will be available in June. Entertainment trade papers are already abuzz with stories about potential producers who want to turn Cormoran Strike into a celluloid hero.
Other writers who have used pen names to write detective fiction are Nora Roberts as JD Rule and Ann Rule as Andy Stack. Apparently publishers think readers like their detective fiction written by men, hence JK Rowling became Robert Galbraith.
The literary genre of crime fiction has elevated itself in recent years, notably from the force that was the late Steig Larsson who penned The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo trilogy. The wild critical and commercial success of those novels cast a world spotlight on an already large cannon of Scandinavian noir and such authors as Henning Mankell, Joe Nesbo, Karin Fossum, Lars Kelper, Hakan Nesser, Johan Theorin, Helene Tursten, Jussie Adler-Olsen, Ake Edwardson, Arnaldur Indridason, and the husand-wife team of Maj Sjowal and Per Wahloo.
The success of the Tattoo series caused tsunami of Nordic noir books to be quickly translated into English for the American market, a trend that continues to this day.
What critics and fans enjoy about Scandinavian noir is that the books are often more than one dimensional detective stores. They weave in layers of social issues and commentary such as immigration, domestic violence, the legacy of the Nazis, and gun violence. These issues are often coupled with brooding, psychologically intriguing detectives. Many of these books have been made into films and televisions shows. Nordic writers do not usually pen under a pseudonym. They already know that dead bodies lead to JK Rowling good fame and fortune.

Carlos Tevez has been blasted by the chairman of Shanghai Shenhua over his weight issues and lack of consistently good form.
Carlos Tevez has been blasted by the chairman of Shanghai Shenhua over his weight issues and lack of consistently good form.
The Argentina international only moved to the Chinese Super League at the turn of the year, but has been slammed by Shenhua's new boss and its fanbase for being overweight and failing to find his best performances for the club.
Shenhua's chairman - Wu Xiaohui - has now waded into the debate (via the Daily Mirror) to offer his own verdict on how terrible Tevez has done during his eight-month stint in the Far East, and it makes for brutal reading.
He stated: "Our intention was to bring in an influential star player with high quality, and we all think Tevez could fit the bill.
"However, due to a lack of winter training and match fitness, he didn't meet our expectations."
Shenhua prised Tevez away from boyhood club Boca Juniors in January with the lure of an astronomical £650,000-a-week contract, despite the former West Ham and Manchester United forward stating that he wanted to retire with the South American side.
However, his time in China has been beset with injuries, being overweight and only notching three goals in 15 appearances.
Wu's comments followed those made by the club's new manager Wu Jingui, who replaced Gus Poyet at the helm recently, and explained why Tevez and fellow star Freddy Guarin would not be getting picked while they were out of form and fitness.
He had said: "He is overweight, along with [Fredy] Guarin. I have to take responsibility for the team and the players as well.
"If you are unable do your utmost to play, there's no point in picking you. I have coached lots of big stars, and my players are never picked on reputation."
Tevez has bagged just one goal in the past three months for Shenhua, and has played only 83 minutes' worth of first-team football in the past seven matches.

This is the new mac I have been talking about. It is lots of fun and the photobooth and video making programs have been a hit with almost everyone... everyone who isn't camera shy.
The midwest treated me well and blue and I attended a sizable catholic wedding in the twin cities. It was lots of fun and I enjoyed getting glammed up for a change.
Since getting back on Sunday a kitty has adopted us and our porch chair. She seemed pretty hungry (she ate a pretzel that I dropped) so I picked up some cat food. Turns out I should have gotten a little higher quality food because her gas is a little out of hand. If she continues to stick around (and I don't see her going anywhere any time soon) I will have to pick up a little healthier cuisine for her. I decided that this little mug of her's looks like a Mabel, so Mabel it is.
This morning Blue got a rude awakening to a cat fight outside. Turns out mean gray cat (she terrorizes all the neighborhood kitties) had completely poled her up one of the support beams of our apartment complex- to the roof... She was hanging by her claws 2 stories off the ground with mean gray cat below. She was pretty shook up, but has managed to survive the day in order to terrorize us with her gas.

Continuing Halfway Broken ... here is the finalized Web site. Flash was embedded into the HTML to get the desired effects we were aiming for. The Bio page featured an image of the band members. When the mouse cursor moved over an individual, a line sketch of that particular person would be "drawn" on the screen. A lot of grunge textures were created for the overall graphic look. Iconic antique toys and objects were integrated into this rough texture not just to ad contrast but also because the band's name reminded me of those old, tin, wind-up robots.

Halfway Broken
Halfway Broken Graphic (traced vector image)Small bands are the most fun to work with, but you have to be really generous in your fees. The real reward comes in the form of praise and the knowledge that you've helped promote a fellow artist. I think I can speak for my partner in this matter ... Chris? ... Chris? With Halfway Broken, we designed not only their site, but I also put together their CD packaging and work with them on a new logo design to tie in their new site with their album and any other promotional pieces they had planned.
Halfway Broken Splash Page
Originally one of the drafts for the actual home page. I didn't want to toss the design, so I made it the splash page.

Last weekend I went to Hamburg for a doctoral colloquium with the topic "Postcolonial perspectives on United Nations research". It was an interesting format; each paper was presented by a discussant who was not the original author, and then opened up the discussion with their own questions and comments. The paper that I co-wrote with a friend from grad school was about the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN and their role in the reproduction of racial and ethnic inequality. The whole thing was quite long, but very stimulating and productive.
On Friday, we had a keynote speech and then a post-colonial tour of Hamburg. The main thing that I found interesting was the information about Germany's role in colonizing various countries. Often, I think people aren't aware that most people in Western Europe had (and have) to do with the exploitation of countries that make up the Global South.
The colloquium was held on the campus of the Universität der Bundeswehr Hamburg, which is a military university. It was kind of a strange place to hold a colloquium with many young scholars critical of the UN and national institutions in general, but it was nice nonetheless. I stayed in a very spartan single room on campus, with showers down the hall and lockable compartments in the community fridge.
Representatives from the DGVN (German Soceity of the United Nations) were part of the organizing team, so it had the official German feeling that one tends to have at these sorts of things.
I found the quote chosen for this bag hilarious. "We're getting closer with climate change to the 'point of no return'". This is the kind of advertising that they want to do with their merch....ok.
I ended up returning to Lugano not very late, but for some reason I was still utterly destroyed on Monday. It was all I could do to come to work, go to class and take notes. Afterwards, I ended up heading home early and trying to recuperate for the week ahead. I'm really looking forward to this weekend, when I can do nothing for a couple of days. I have a conference next weekend as well, so I'll probably need the extra sleep!

United States District Court, D. Maryland
October 26, 2017
FARM FRESH DIRECT DIRECT BY A CUT ABOVE LLC, Plaintiff,v.STEVEN DOWNEY, et al., Defendants.
Lipton Hollander United States District Judge.
Farm Fresh Direct Direct By a Cut Above, LLC ("Farm
Fresh Direct") filed suit (ECF 1) against defendants
Steven Downey; Clipper City Lending, LLC ("Clipper
City"); Farm Fresh Direct Home Food Services, LLC
("Farm Fresh Home"); and Jessica Sinsky, alleging
unfair competition, in violation of Section 43(a) of the
Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a) (Count I), and unfair
competition and deceptive trade practices under Maryland
common law (Count II). ECF 1 at 5-6.[1] Count III, for breach of
contract, is brought only as to Downey and Clipper City.
See ECF 1 at 6-7.[2]
who is self-represented, filed an Answer to the Complaint on
July 24, 2017. ECF 10 ("Answer").[3] In addition,
Sinsky moved to dismiss the Complaint. ECF 12
("Motion"). Plaintiff opposes the Motion. ECF 14
("Opposition"). No reply has been filed.
See Docket.
hearing is necessary to resolve the Motion. See
Local Rule 105.6. However, in resolving the Motion, the Court
is mindful of its obligation to construe liberally the
pleadings of a pro se litigant, which are "held to less
stringent standards than formal pleadings drafted by
lawyers." Erickson v. Pardus, 551 U.S. 89, 94
(2007); see also White v. White, 886 F.2d 721,
722-23 (4th Cir. 1989).
For the
reasons that follow, I shall deny the Motion.
Factual Summary
In its
Complaint (ECF 1), plaintiff states that Farm Fresh Direct
has been registered as a limited liability corporation
("LLC") with the Maryland State Department of
Assessments and Taxation ("SDAT") since December
22, 2016. ECF 1, ¶ 9. On June 7, 2017, plaintiff
registered with SDAT its ownership of the trade name
"Farm Fresh Direct Direct." Id.
Plaintiff alleges that it has "worked to develop the
Farm Fresh Direct trade name and trademark by working to
create a network of providers inside and outside of Maryland,
" and by "working directly with suppliers
throughout the mid-Atlantic region to bring fresh, natural
and quality foods directly to consumers." Id.
¶ 10. Further, plaintiff asserts that it uses the Farm
Fresh Direct trade name and trademark in interstate commerce.
to plaintiff, "on or about April 5, 2017, " it
entered into an Independent Representative and Non-Compete
Agreement ("Agreement") with Downey and Clipper
City. Id. ¶ 11. Pursuant to the Agreement,
Downey served as a representative salesperson for and on
behalf of plaintiff. Id. The Agreement forms the
basis for Count III, which pertains only to Downey and
Clipper City and is not at issue in this Memorandum.
asserts that, on or about April 25, 2017, "Downey and .
. . Sinsky filed with SDAT articles of organization for a
competing company with name [sic] intentionally confusing
with Farm Fresh Direct's, 'Farm Fresh Direct Direct
Home Food Services, LLC" ECF 1, ¶ 12.
Additionally, plaintiff asserts that the "filings with
SDAT state that [Farm Fresh Home's] purpose is to sell
fresh all natural food plans and other household items to
residential customers." Id. ¶ 12. Of
relevance here, plaintiff also alleges that "Sinsky is
the resident agent and incorporator" for Farm Fresh
Home. Id. ¶¶ 12-13.
plaintiff alleges that Downey and Clipper City
"attempt[ed] to open an account with [plaintiffs] meat
supplier." Id. ¶ 15. And, "Downey
and Clipper City have retained contact information for
[plaintiffs] providers and clients, . . . and have created or
are seeking to create commercial relationships with them in
violation of the Agreement[, ] unfairly completing [sic] with
[plaintiff], including, through the use of the intentionally
confusing . . . 'Farm Fresh Direct' name."
Id. ¶ 16. Plaintiff adds: "Sinsky aided,
abetted and supported these and other violations of Farm
Fresh Direct's rights to the name Farm Fresh Direct
Direct . . . ." Id. ¶ 16.
Standard of Review
defendant may test the legal sufficiency of a complaint by
way of a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6). In re
Birmingham, 846 F.3d 88, 92 (4th Cir. 2017); Goines
v. Valley Cmty. Servs. Bd., 822 F.3d 159,
165-66 (4th Cir. 2016); McBurney v. Cuccinelli, 616
F.3d 393, 408 (4th Cir. 2010), aff'd sub nom.
McBurney v. Young, 569 U.S. 221 (2013); Edwards v.
City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 243 (4th Cir. 1999). A
Rule 12(b)(6) motion constitutes an assertion by a defendant
that, even if the facts alleged by a plaintiff are true, the
complaint fails as a matter of law "to state a claim
upon which relief can be granted."
a complaint states a claim for relief is assessed by
reference to the pleading requirements of Fed.R.Civ.P.
8(a)(2). That rule provides that a complaint must contain a
"short and plain statement of the claim showing that
the pleader is entitled to relief." The purpose of the
rule is to provide the defendant with "fair
notice" of the claims and the "grounds" for
entitlement to relief. Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly,
survive a motion under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6), a complaint
must contain facts sufficient to "state a claim to
relief that is plausible on its face."
Twombly, 550 U.S. at 570; see Ashcroft v.
Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 684 (2009) ("Our decision in
Twombly expounded the pleading standard for
'all civil actions' . . . ." (citation
omitted)); see also Willner v. Dimon, 849 F.3d 93,
112 (4th Cir. 2017). But, a plaintiff need not include
"detailed factual allegations" in order to
satisfy Rule 8(a)(2). Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555.
To be
sure, federal pleading rules "do not countenance
dismissal of a complaint for imperfect statement of the legal
theory supporting the claim asserted." Johnson v.
City of Shelby, ___ U.S. ___, 135 S.Ct. 346, 346 (2014)
(per curiam). Nevertheless, the rule demands more than bald
accusations or mere speculation. Twombly, 550 U.S.
at 555; see Painter's Mill Grille, LLC v. Brown,
716 F.3d 342, 350 (4th Cir. 2013). A complaint is
insufficient if it provides no more than "labels and
conclusions" or "a formulaic recitation of the
elements of a cause of action." Twombly, 550
U.S. at 555. Rather, to satisfy the minimal requirements of
Rule 8(a)(2), the complaint must set forth "enough
factual matter (taken as true) to suggest" a cognizable
cause of action, "even if . . . [the] actual proof of
those facts is improbable and . . . recovery is very remote
and unlikely." Twombly, 550 U.S. at 556
(internal quotations omitted).
reviewing a Rule 12(b)(6) motion, a court "'must
accept as true all of the factual allegations contained in
the complaint'" and must "'draw all
reasonable inferences [from those facts] in favor of the
plaintiff.'" E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.
v. Kolon Indus., Inc., 637 F.3d 435, 440 (4th Cir. 2011)
(citations omitted); see Semenova v. Maryland Transit
Admin., 845 F.3d 564, 567 (4th Cir. 2017); Belmora,
LLC v. Bayer Consumer Care AG, 819 F.3d 697, 705 (4th
Cir. 2016); Houck v. Substitute Tr. Servs., Inc.,
791 F.3d 473, 484 (4th Cir. 2015); Kendall v.
Balcerzak, 650 F.3d 515, 522 (4th Cir. 2011), cert.
denied, 565 U.S. 943 (2011). But, a court is not
required to accept legal conclusions drawn from the facts.
See Papasan v. Allain, 478 U.S. 265, 286 (1986).
"A court decides whether [the pleading] standard is met
by separating the legal conclusions from the factual
allegations, assuming the truth of only the factual
allegations, and then determining whether those allegations
allow the court to reasonably infer" that the plaintiff
is entitled to the legal remedy sought. A Society Without
a Name v. Virginia, 655 F.3d 342, 346 (4th Cir. 2011),
cert. denied, 566 U.S. 937 (2012).
general, courts do not "resolve contests surrounding
the facts, the merits of a claim, or the applicability of
defenses" through a Rule 12(b)(6) motion. Edwards
v. City of Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 243 (4th Cir. 1999).
The purpose of the rule is to ensure that defendants are
"given adequate notice of the nature of a claim"
made against them. Twombly, 550 U.S. at 555-56. But,
"in the relatively rare circumstances where facts
sufficient to rule on an affirmative defense are alleged in
the complaint, the defense may be reached by a motion to
dismiss filed under Rule 12(b)(6)." Goodman v.
Praxair, Inc., 494 F.3d 458, 464 (4th Cir. 2007) (en
banc); accord Pressley v. Tupperware Long Term Disability
Plan, 533 F.3d 334, 336 (4th Cir. 2009); see also
U.S. ex rel. Oberg v. Penn. Higher Educ. Assistance
Agency, 745 F.3d 131, 148 (4th Cir. 2014). However,
because Rule 12(b)(6) "is intended [only] to test the
legal adequacy of the complaint", Richmond,
Fredericksburg & Potomac R.R. Co. v. Forst, 4 F.3d
244, 250 (4th Cir. 1993), "[t]his principle only
applies . . . if all facts necessary to the affirmative
defense 'clearly appear[ ] on the face of the
complaint.'" Goodman, 494 F.3d at 464
(quoting Forst, 4 F.3d at 250) (emphasis added in
alleges that Sinsky violated 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1)(A)
and engaged in unfair and deceptive trade practices, in
violation of Maryland common law. ECF 1, ¶¶ 17-22,
23-26. At its core, plaintiff's contention is that
"Sinsky is the resident agent and incorporator"
of Farm Fresh Home (ECF 1, ¶¶ 12-13), and in that
capacity she "filed" the articles of organization
for Farm Fresh Home, creating a name for the "competing
company" that is "intentionally confusing"
because of its similarity to Farm Fresh Direct. ECF 1, ¶
Individual Liability
Fresh Home is a limited liability company. As a threshold
matter, I must determine whether Sinsky is subject to suit in
light of Farm Fresh Home's status as a limited liability
It is
well settled that "[a] corporation exists as a legal
entity separate and distinct from its corporate
shareholders." Cancun Adventure Tours, Inc. v.
Underwater Designer Co., 862 F.2d 1044, 1047 (4th Cir.
1988); see Johnson v. Flowers Indus., Inc., 814 F.2d
978, 980 (4th Cir. 1987). Notably, a corporation is a
"'creature of legal fiction, '" and
"'a corporation must of necessity act through its
agents . . . .'" Southern Management Corp. v.
Taha, 378 Md. 461, 480, 836 A.2d 627, 638 (2003)
(citations omitted).
concept of a corporation as a separate legal entity "is
expressed by the colorful metaphor of the corporate veil,
which presumes that acts of the corporation are not acts of
the shareholder." Johnson, 814 F.2d at 980.
The corporate veil doctrine "is a basic attribute of
the corporate form; it encourages business investment and
fosters stability in commercial transactions."
Cancun Adventure, 862 F.2d at 1047. And, in Maryland

Question about online sales
I recently read the GAO report regarding online sales of firearms. .
Full Report
The report outlines the methodology and results of a test the GAO conducted at the behest of 3 members of the Legislative Branch.
Reading the report it raised several questions for me I have never thought of before. I have never sold a firearm online but I have purchased. Every time I have engaged in an online transaction (knock on wood) things went smoothly between the seller, my FFL, and me. We all know that is not always the case. I tend to think of issues with this sort of transaction going wrong due to unscrupulous sellers either taking the money and running or falsely characterizing an item. Obviously things can go wrong for the seller as well and having never engaged in that side of the transaction it made me wonder about the pitfalls there.
Here is where I have a question. Reading the report linked above the GAO references there were some folks that refused to sell when the agents identified they were prohibited indivuals and some sellers evidently took money but I'm unclear on whether any firearms were shipped to FFL's.
So here are my questions.
1. If the sellers mentioned in the report had accepted money and sent the firearm to the FFL and the buyer was subsequently unable to pass a background check what liability does the seller have if any for selling to a prohibited person? Does knowing the person is not allowed to own a firearm or has concerns about the legality of owning a firearm change anything?
2. In the situation above if the seller had already received payment for the firearm what is the legal expectation in terms of the received funds and what legal responsibility does the FFL have to return the firearm to the original seller?
3. Again in the situation above does the buyer who failed the back ground check have any legal responsibility to ensure the FFL returns the firearm to the original seller?

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Financial markets, investors and economists are preparing for the worst employment report in five years to be released by the Labor Department on Friday.
The median forecast by economists surveyed by MarketWatch was for a loss of 210,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in October, the most since March 2003. According to a survey of work sites, payrolls have already declined for nine straight months for a total of 760,000 fewer jobs.
The report will be released to the public at 8:30 a.m. EST.
The unemployment rate, which is determined by a separate survey of households, is expected to rise to 6.3% in October from 6.1% in September. It was at 5% just six months ago. The unemployment rate peaked at 6.3% after the 2001 recession, but most economists expect the unemployment rate to rise to near 8% this time.
There's been little good news on the jobs market for months, and most indicators point to worsening conditions.
The credit crunch that hit in mid-September has been devastating for manufacturing firms that sell on credit. Auto sales, for instance, fell to the lowest levels in 25 years in October. On per-capita basis, auto sales were the lowest since World War II. See full story.
Chain-store sales, which don't depend so much on new loans as on old credit lines, have held up better than the autos have, but most stores are reporting very weak demand for everything except the essentials. See full story.
Some economists are looking for a very sharp decline in payrolls for October. Seamus Smyth of Goldman Sachs, for instance, is forecasting a loss of 300,000 jobs, which would be the one of the worst months in the past 20 years.
Why do folk think it'll be so rotten?
- On Thursday, the Labor Department said the level of continuing jobless claims -- the number of people collecting unemployment benefits -- rose to a 25-year high of 3.84 million, a sign that it's hard to find a job after being laid off. Applications for jobless claims are also at lofty levels. See full story.
- Fewer companies told the Institute for Supply Management that they are hiring.
- Fewer companies are advertising job openings in newspapers or online.
- More consumers told the Conference Board that they think jobs are hard to find. In fact, the spread between the number who say jobs are hard to find and the number who say jobs are plentiful widened sharply in October to the widest point in more than a decade.
- The ADP employment index fell by 157,000 private-sector jobs in October, more than twice as many as in any other month during this downturn.
Other economists expect job losses of around 175,000. It's not that they are bullish on the economy; it's more that they believe September's reported loss of 159,000 reflected some one-time factors that won't be repeated in October.
"We view a negative-175,000 outcome in October as representing a significant degree of deterioration relative to a comparable baseline of approximately negative-120,000 in September," wrote David Greenlaw, an economist for Morgan Stanley.

Posting observations some may find useful and others may see as sacrilege.
Directed to this forum by a TCM owner unhappy with his barrel so I will start there.
Most of the barrels I have taken off appear fine to eyeball examination.
Today I cleaned seven barrels recently removed from current production rifles.
One was clearly rough with tool chatter marks the full length of the bore.
One more seems to have a double edge to the rifling.
I do not have access to a bore scope that will fit down a .22 bore but I was able to use one for a look from each end.
I did find one of the "Good" barrels to have some odd pits in the bore near the chamber.
I would conclude that Armscor barrel quality still varies so suggest that if you are staying in
.22 TCM you may want to examine the bore before taking delivery if possible.
Not an issue for me as I replace the barrel anyway.
I do resell the takeoff's for only $50.00 shipped in the lower 48 states.
Can also cut them shorter and thread the muzzle 1/2-28 or 5/8-24.
I will be getting my own bore scope soon for close examination before reselling more barrels.
Magazine release.
I find that I have to polish the casting line of the magazine release fairly often so that it will move freely.
Beware trying to refinish the stock!
It seems most of the color of the stock is in the varnish used.
If you sand through it the wood is very nearly stark white and impossible to match to the original color.
Extractors may have burrs or heavy tool marks which can cause them to bind in the bolt.
Remove and lap as needed.
The 9mm conversion has been fairly popular and makes the best possible silencer host as it eliminates the action noise of a semi-auto.
If you get tired of issues in .22 TCM I can convert yours to 9mm/.40 SW//10mm.
.40/10mm will lose some magazine capacity.

I know people got issues with female mc's, but u need to realise they have always been there from the start and there still here. Instead of ignoring these women or classing them as females who are "ho's" and got no self respect we need to celebrate their talents. Let me be real some of these females got ill'er flows than the males shit damn motherfucker (yeah I said that), if Soulja Boy can make it as a rapper (please) so can these women.
Let's go back and have a shout out to some of my favourite females mc's - roll call time; MC Lyte, Salt & Peppa, Queen Latifah, Monie Love, Yo-Yo, Sparky D, Roxanne Shante, The Real Roxanne, Antoinette, Sweet Tee, BWP, Bo$$, HWA, Foxy, Kim, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, Trina, Jean Grae, Da Brat, Lauryn Hill, Eve, Remy Martin, Finesse & Synquis, Sole, Mia X, Lady Of Rage, Bahamadia, Queen Pen, Lady Bug Mecca, Isis a.k.a. Lin Que, Ms Dynamite, Babs, Ms. Melodie, Amil, Gangsta Boo, JJ Fad, Charlie Baltimore, Ms Jade, Rah Digga, Nikki D, Sista Souljah, Nonchalant, Shawnna, Leschea, Heather B and much more and our most recent lady of the moment is young money's own Nicki Minaj!!!! Before I start let me say she 25% or so Indian and you know I'm "reppin" Asian acts that make it!!!!
Nicki Minaj is one bad ass female rapper, she isn't any Lauryn Hill or Foxy Brown yet but gives this chick a chance and she will be big. No one can argue that she is the ill'est female mc who is doing it right now, if Lauryn hill, Foxy, or Remy Ma come out with some new music she might have trouble but for the second no one can touch this chick. The lady is also rapping with young money records who are releasing some hectic hip hop acts at the moment. She also features on the tune with all the male rappers - I can make your bedrock:
Nicki has for while been collaborating for a while now but 2010 is the year this female goes solo so let's what this lady is going bring to the table!!!

Unit of packaging
Neoseiulus cucumeris (predatory mite)
Pack size: 1,000 ml bottle, 6,000 ml bucket
Bottle contains: 50,000 predatory mites (all stages) + some grain mites (all stages) mixed with bran or vermiculite
Bucket contains: 100,000 predatory mites (all stages) + a lot of grain mites (all stages) mixed with bran
PrecautionsIn case of mechanical application inhalation of the product may cause sensitization. A dust mask is recommended as protection for operators and people working near place of application
Various thrips species. Hatching eggs and the first larval stage. Predatory mites also eat spider mites (f.e. strawberry mite, broad mite), several other mites, honeydew and pollen.
The pieces of information given below are merely indicative. Tailored advice can be provided if information is available on the local factors that need to be taken into account, such as the crop, the climate conditions and the level of infestation. For the correct approach, you should always consult a Koppert specialist or a recognised distributor of Koppert products.
interval (days)
curative light
curative heavy
- Turn and shake gently before use
- Disperse material manually onto leaves, disperse throughout the crop using a blower, or - only in the case of buckets - scatter the material in little heaps onto stone-wool pots using a scoop 2.5 ml per plant, opposite the trickler
- When introduced on rockwool blocks the heaps keep on producing predatory mites for some weeks. Mites leave the heap to disperse in the crop
Environmental conditions
Relative humidity should be above 75% and the temperature above 20°C/68°F for some hours of the day. THRIPEX contains a strain of Neoseiulus cucumeris which is not susceptible to diapause. Therefore the predators can be used all year.
Storage and handling
Biological beneficials have a very short life expectancy and therefore need to be introduced into the crop as soon as possible after receipt. Storing them for a period can have a negative impact on their quality and is only possible under the conditions described below. Koppert B.V. is not liable for any loss of quality if the product is stored for longer than recommended and/or under incorrect conditions.
- Storage after receipt: 1-2 days
- Storage temperature: 10-15°C
- In the dark (bottles horizontally)
- Do not stack buckets
The product THRIPEX contains grain mites (Tyrophagus putrescentiae) and bran. These mites may cause slight damage to some crops, especially when growing conditions are humid and grain mites are present in large numbers. Consult your supplier prior to use. Small field test is recommended on crops or varieties lacking experiences. 'THRIPEX in vermiculite' is the safest product for sensitive crops.
- Mobile stages: beige-pink, droplet shaped, 'pushed down' position on short legs, often at hidden places like along veins and in the flowers
- Eggs: transparant white, attached to leaf hairs along veins on the underside of leaves
Mode of action
Adult predatory mites search actively for their prey and suck it dry.
The introduction rates of this product should be adjusted to the mode of action of the product and the results that can be expected in the crop where the product is applied. Your local Koppert consultant or recognized distributor will be able to advise you further.
Only use products that are permitted in your country/state and crop. Check local registration requirements.
Koppert Biological Systems can not be held liable for unauthorized use.

Overview of the Eaglehead Project
Technical Reports
Photo Gallery
The Eaglehead deposit is hosted in moderate to strong potassic, phyllic and mixed potassic-phyllic altered biotite granodiorite, hornblende quartz diorite and Quartz Feldspar porphyry dikes. Chalcopyrite +/- bornite along with significant concentration of gold-molybdenum-silver occur in fractures, veinlets, disseminations and in hydrothermal breccia. The hydrothermal breccia are characterized by higher grade copper mineralization primarily due to bornite and late stage intense potassic alteration.
Between 2014 and 2016, Copper Fox completed a series of private placements in District Copper. These funds were used to complete the re-logging, sampling and re-sampling of 61 historical drill holes, airborne and ground geophysical surveys, preliminary rock characterization testwork and six diamond drill holes (3,413m) to test the continuity of the copper-molybdenum-gold mineralization in the East and Bornite zones. Since 2014, District Copper has re-analyzed approximately 15,000 pulp and core samples to standardize the analytical data base.
Representative mineralized intervals from the various zone located within the property are set out below.
Preliminary Metallurgical Testwork
In 2015 and 2016; preliminary rock characterization ("metallurgical") testwork was completed on a number of mineralized lithologies over a range of copper grades from the Bornite-Pass-East zones of the Eaglehead project.
The testwork yielded Bond Ball Mill Work Index (BWI) indices that ranged from 16.9 to 20.6 kWh/t with an average of 18.6 kWh/t and Bond Abrasion Index (AI) indices that ranged from 0.211 g to 0.554 g with an average Ai of 0.381 g.
Locked cycle tests showed that all samples responded well to conventional copper-molybdenite flotation. Four stages of roughing, followed by regrind and three stages of cleaning with a primary grind size K80 of approximately 150 μm and a regrind size K80 of 21 μm was used. The final copper/molybdenite bulk concentrate assayed 29.6% Cu, 2.72% Mo, 28.2 g/t Au, and 175.9 g/t Ag with recoveries of 89.9% copper, 71.1% molybdenite, 78.6% gold, and 78.1% silver and low concentrations of arsenic, selenium and tin.
In 2017, Copper Fox prepared a NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Eaglehead property entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Eaglehead Project" with an Effective Date of July 10, 2017; Robert A. (Bob) Lane, M.Sc., P.Geo. as Qualified Person. The conclusions and recommendations of the Technical Report are summarized below.
The Project is at the early to intermediate stage of exploration and hosts a calc-alkalic porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold-silver system of significance.
A multi-parameter exploration program estimated to cost $4.95 million is warranted to more fully evaluate the potential of the Project to host an economic calc-alkalic porphyry Cu-Mo-Au-Ag deposit.
The proposed recommended exploration program includes among other activities 11,000m of drilling, preliminary metallurgical testwork and geophysical surveys.
Six zones of copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization occur within a prospective, mineralized corridor (0.5-1.5km in width and in excess of 8km long) characterized by:
- a belt of moderate magnetic response with small, irregular-shaped moderate-to-high magnetic features that coincides with the western margin of the Eaglehead pluton;
- a 10km long, semi-continuous copper soil geochemical anomaly;
- a 6km long, open-ended chargeability-high anomaly, within which five zones of copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization are located. This anomaly averages 900m wide and is open below a depth of 500m;
- a Far East zone, located approximately 3,000m from the end of the chargeability anomaly, exhibits several mineralized drill holes and a 1,000m by 1,000m copper and molybdenum soil geochemical anomaly;
- moderate-to-intense potassic (principally K-feldspar), pervasive phyllic (sericitic) and late propylitic alteration of the mineralized intrusive host rocks;
- multiple phases of mineralization, consisting primarily of chalcopyrite and bornite with minor molybdenite in quartz veins, quartz stockworks, and zones of fracturing and brecciation; and
- drilling has intersected good grades of copper-molybdenum-gold-silver over narrow-to-wide intervals (ranging from 1.5 to 521.2m) in 120 of 126 holes completed to-date
