Walter Bannon
Walt's first book, Digger Down, delighted antique bottle collectors as he shared stories of his digging adventures. Digger Down was published by Publish America in 2005. The White Pocketbook turns to the serious topic of his mother's amazing path to survival during WWII while growing up in occupied Belgium. While work on a music video is ongoing and a soundtrack has been released, Walt dreams of one day seeing a movie come from this survival story that parallels Anne Frank's plight.

During his twenty-five year career on the water, Molyneaux worked in numerous areas: from fisheries development consultant to Native Peoples in Maine and Alaska, to harpooning swordfish on Georges Bank. After earning a degree in Fisheries and Marine Technology from the University of Rhode Island in 1985, he walked away from the industrial sector and fished from a dory (an ocean worthy rowboat) for ten years. In 1997 he earned a BA in Writing and Literature from Goddard College.
Since 1998 Molyneaux has been writing about the political, socio-economic, and environmental aspects of fisheries and aquaculture for The New York Times, National Fisherman, and other publications. He is the author of two books, The Doryman's Reflection: A Fisherman's Life (Thunder's Mouth Press, 2005), and Swimming in Circles: Aquaculture and the End of Wild Oceans (TMP, 2007).
As a 2007 Guggenheim Fellowship winner, Molyneaux spent a year researching sustainable fisheries practices in India, Chile, Iceland and several other countries, and has a finished manuscript currently being prepared for publication.
The Barbarian Utopia will actually be Molyneaux's fourth book. He and his wife and their two children split their time between Maine, and Sonora, Mexico (and more recently, the Appalachian Trail.)

Throughout The Car Industry
No Toyota FT-86 Yet, But We Do Have An FT-86 App
I can't think of a car that I've ever been so sick and tired of as the FT-86. At this point, I don't even want to see the production version in Tokyo. I really don't care anymore. Toyota has shoved this thing down our throats to the point that I think even the biggest Toyota sports car nuts don't care that much.
You would have thought that with three separate concept versions—a bright orange version of one of those concepts and an equally slow-to-develop Subaru sibling—Toyota would have had its fill of FT-86 teasing. But that's not the case. Toyota just launched a new app for its sports coupe. If that's not bad enough, the app is actually designed to get people to try to look for the concept that they've already seen oh so many times before.
The app is available on iTunes now. It is compatible with iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4th generation models, so it won't work on older iOS devices.
Now the kicker—the app is designed to let iPhone users upload pictures of the FT-86 to a faux news site that attempts to act like the FT-86, a concept that's been around for two years now, is somehow newsworthy. FT-86 models are out testing in the wild now, so app users are encouraged to keep their eyes peeled, snap photos, and share them on "FT-86 World Report". Users can search the website by location to see if anyone's spotted it in nearby zip codes.
The only real positive thing I can say about the app is that it's free. If Toyota had the gall to charge you to basically advertise and hype up its car, I might have had to flood the site with pictures of the FT-86 with buddies' ass cracks somewhere in the frame.
This app is actually a pretty cool idea. But not for the FT-86 that no one cares about anymore. Toyota just has to cut the charade and release the production version. However, an app like this for a rarer supercar or even many supercars would be a cool way of checking out what supercars are in your neck of the woods.
After moving from New Jersey, the number of supercars that I see regularly has drastically declined. Despite its often negative reputation, New Jersey is one of the highest income per capita states, and many towns across the state all but guarantee you'll see a Ferrari, Lamborghini or some other hot car. Out where I live now, income levels are more modest and I don't often see supercars. Every once in a while, though, there's some kind of club run where I'll see a whole pack of supercars. I've seen Lamborghini, Lamborghini/Audi R8, and Porsche runs over the past several years, and it would kind of be cool to have somewhere to share these sights and see what else is driving around the area.
Perhaps there already is such an app and I'm just not aware of it. If not, though, all you car-fanatic developers take note. You can have the idea, just throw me some free access.
Bottom line, Toyota has a good idea, but the wrong car for it. I'd actually be more interested in seeing an app like this for past Toyota models like the Supra and, especially, 2000GT. The FT-86 is likely to be a staple on roads everywhere in a few months, and I really don't want to see it anymore until Tokyo.

Hot Chocolate
Everyone loves hot chocolate, it's one of the best things about winter. It's just so amazingly warming and comforting, like a big hug in a mug! I know it sounds crazy but a healthy version really can taste just as incredible as the conventional recipe, honestly I think you'd never know the difference! Homemade almond milk and a little almond butter work together to make each sip so perfectly thick and creamy, while a squeeze of date syrup adds all the incredible sweetness you need and the raw cacao ensures that your drink is as chocolaty as ever. I've been drinking this almost everyday for the last month or so and each time it makes me so happy! It's especially good drunk through a cinnamon stick too as the stick acts as the perfect straw and each sip is infused with subtle hints of delicious spice!
This is a super-food hot chocolate too, as the cacao gives it such an incredible boost of disease-fighting antioxidants, as well as lots of the happy-hormone serotonin, which acts as a natural mood boosting and anti-depressant! Plus the almond milk and almond butter give you lots of energising plant protein, heart healthy fats, and an incredible dose of vitamin E, which is amazing for healthy hair and glowing skin.
Serves 1:
– 1 cup of homemade almond milk (250ml)
– 2 tablespoons of date syrup
– 2 teaspoons of raw cacao
– 1 teaspoon of almond butter
Simply place all the ingredients into a saucepan and heat gently. Keep stirring as the hot chocolate heats to ensure all the ingredients mix together and the almond butter doesn't get stuck at the bottom. Then take the pan off the heat before it reaches boiling point to keep all the goodness in!

Burgundy Vintage Report 2013
Mentioned in this article
Difficult to read, if you're not a wine expert. "Crops were naturally limited due to coulure (gaps...etc.)" - isn't that inherent to ANY plant and climate? "...backpack atomizers to treat the soggy vineyards" - sounds like they were SPRAYING the soggy vineyards? "...drastic temperatures brought yet another devastating hailstorm" - drastic temperatures CAUSE hailstorms? What are "dry tannins"? - aren't all tannins DRY? Maybe this just shows my ignorance!
Hi Dudele,
To respond to your points:
-Yes, coulure always limits yields. The point is that yields were limited naturally rather than people having to go in to do the work.
-Vineyards often need to be sprayed after rain to avoid disease, and by using humans or helicopters rather than tractors, winemakers can avoid compacting the soils.
-It seems you are simply rewriting what I wrote.
-Tannins have different characteristics depending on the grape, the season and the vinifcation and aging techniques. Pinot Noir tannins are usually silky and supple, not unpleasantly drying.
I needed a few things explained too Dudele. Thanks Christy.
Hi, Christy.
Thanks for clearing my queries. I didn't realize that wet vineyards are sprayed to prevent disease, or that you meant natural culling (probably the same word derivation as coulure?) of the grapes, as opposed to doing it by hand. I also appreciate now that there are different characteristics of tannins, and that they don't always have to be considered "dry".
Hi Christy,
You said "Burgundy's rule of thumb is 110 days between flowering and harvesting. In 2013, it was 110." Did you mean that the rule of thumb was 100 days and in 2013 it was 110?
Nicely concise report, was there in 2013, looking forward to tasting the vintage. Cheers indeed!
Hi, yes, indeed! I hadn't spotted that. It's been corrected. Thanks.
Your writing is technically accurate, colorfully written,
and flows like the best of Burgundy. I have to say it
"tastes" good. Thank you an d best for 2015.
It seems like bad vintages make good wine and good vintages make good wine too.
If chaptilizing is acceptable when the grapes are under ripe then why is water not when they're over ripe?
Thanks, Sidintokyo-1!
George, you have a very good point. (Just one thing - "watering" isn't legal in Burgundy...and it's not a problem there either). In other areas where this is practiced, it can bring a wine into balance. Purists don't believe in it, and I definitely agree it is better NOT to add or subtract anything. But above all, I prefer to drink balanced wine.
This article reads like it was written for vintners not wine lovers.
Thanks Christy. I popped the link to actually see what your opinion was about the 13 Burgs. I learned a few new terms too, which I appreciate, and thought you did a nice job with parentheticals for the explanations/definitions. I'm constantly amazed at the ability of vintners to produce what they do every year, no matter how severe the weather.

Saturday was easily one of the best days of my life. Eric and I had Tori watch Ave so we could have a romantic day, and last minute, we decided to buy tickets to the BYU/OU game-mainly just to see the new Cowboys stadium. The first of the day, Eric took me to this awesome restaurant in Southlake called Brio Tuscan Grille. YUM! I totally forgot to take pics, cause the food was so good. Plus, he had done some work for them, so the GM took care of our meal....sweet! After walking around the shops of Southlake, E and I met up with some friends and headed to the BYU game, which we thought was going to suck. Thanks to my dad and our good friends, the Boam's, I grew up an avid cougar fan-hardly ever missing a game. But since leaving UT, I haven't been to a game for a while. Last year, Eric took me to the TCU game...yikes. I have to say, after that massacre, my cougar pride took a hit. But............ THEY HAVE TOTALLY REDEEMED THEMSELVES!!!!! It was the best BYU game I have ever been to. Oh, and Tammy....I changed my font to blue just for you! Playing cards with the Coil's....like our standing "seats?"
The cougar section...I have to say, I was so proud of our representation. We held our own, and got pretty dang loud. Some OU fans next to us were like, "Wow, those BYU fans are impressive."

Tiny Treasures
In Japan there is a philosophy called mottainai. It's a bit like 'reduce, reuse, recycle', and it applies to anything really, including kimono that have been damaged or stained so can not be worn any more. They are cut up and given a new lease of life, perhaps as a handbag or cushion. The leftover scraps are made into small toys and decorations. Nothing is wasted. Hence why my little warehouse is bursting at the seams (bonus points for haberdashery metaphor!) with vintage kimono fabrics, ready to be made into, er, something.
Usually I make kanzashi brooches from these precious scraps, but after 2 or 3 years I decided it was time for a change. So, now I present my new range of jewellery: Tiny Treasures!
firstname.lastname@example.com. Even if that particular one is no longer in stock, I may have more of the fabric that I can make another from. They are £10 each, + £2 P&P (P&P is the same regardless of your order size, so why not pop over to www.japancrafts.co.uk while you're at it and let me know if there's anything else you'd like!

#MyDreamNYFW follows NYFW's leading designers, models and bloggers from the moment they touch down in New York City (with all that luggage). From styling tips to front row pics, we are giving you the exclusive look to all things NYFW.
We sat down with Marianna Hewitt to give you a peek into her #MyDreamNFYW. Keep scrolling to find out why she loves staying at Dream, how she got into blogging, her NYFW must-haves, traveling tips and favorite pair of shoes.
Dream: What is it like staying at Dream Downtown?
Marianna: I just got in town for New York Fashion Week, I'm so excited, it's like my seventh season coming here and the most important thing for me is staying in great location. I love this hotel because it's young, fresh, modern and it doesn't feel old and stuffy, kind of like some other hotels in New York can feel so I love staying here.
D: What made you become a blogger?
M: So I started my blog because I was working as a TV host and I just saw digital influencers come up around the same time and at the time where I was working I would always have these really great ideas and my boss would be like 'ehhhh I don't know if that's going to work, I don't know if that'll translate to the internet. It was kind of a place for me to do all those things that my boss wouldn't let me do. Then over time it started to get more views and more traction and then a few months later I was like I guess I"ll just quit my job and see if this works out. Luckily it did!
D: How many pairs of shoes did you pack for New York Fashion Week?
M: I just love shoes!
Watch the video below to learn what shoes Marianna brings with her and how to love a photo of yourself in five years.

Yes, here is my beef for the day.
Anti Spam Words. Word Verification. Non-robot verification.
You may or may not know what those are and if you have them, you may or may not know who you are. This is an option that most blog sites have in regards to comments left. A person leaves a comment, then has to 'prove' that he is not a spammer or automated robot by rekeying in squiggly looking numbers, letters, codes, etc <----- most of these are really hard to read. Yes, the point, I get it.
But I HATE them.
Please take them off your blogs. I'm on my hands and knees here. I'm begging. They are so annoying. They slow me down. They're nearly impossible to get the first time. Sometimes it takes me 2-3 times to get them right, call me an idiot, whatever. But in my opinion, they are useless. In my year and a half of blogging here and on myspace, I have gotten a total of maybe 3 spam comments.
I have near 100 visitors per day, and in all my experience of blogging, there have been three teeny tiny little comments (I think all in foreign languages) that I simply deleted with the click of the mouse.
Now, there's another option. You can set up your blog account to 'hold' a new comment for you until you read it and approve it, allowing it on your site. To me, that requires more work and inconvenience than just simply disposing of the comment verification altogether.
Now obviously, if you've had lots of problems with this, I gracefully say, "Carrie on then, carrie on", like Neville from the fig newton commercial back in the 80s-90s...you know, the one where the English Mum comes into a room to find her son eating fig newtons in bed.
"Neville....I thought I said no eating cookies in bed."
"It's not a cookie, Muthah, it's a fruit newton!"
"Oh...carrie on then, carrie on."
I realize it's your call, and as I mentioned earlier, some of you don't even know you have it set up that way on your pages. I mentioned it to a friend a while ago (hey Allison, what's up?) and she immediately said, "yeah, I hate those too!" Umm, yeah....she totally had one on her blog and didn't even know it.
So. Get rid of them. They bother me.
There's my beef for the day.

I'll admit that Bugs Bunny first gave me an appreciation for classical music
I write a lot about pop and rock music on this blog, but I have a pretty wide range of listening interests, including jazz and classical music. Those two genres of music are notably declining in popularity in our poptimistic age, which treats love of anything intricate and refined as somehow undemocratic. This flusters me mostly because I came up in a rural lower-middle class world where being able to appreciate music like this was a way of displaying one's refinement in a positive, not negative way. Now I must live in a topsy-turvy world where the children of affluent suburbs who went to Vassar and Amherst and now reside in Manhattan pretend at being populist by applying the cultural theory they learned there to The Real Housewives shows. They get to have pedestrian cultural tastes and simultaneously show their class superiority. That way they can knock down the strivers who are attracted to what was once elite culture while basking in their own moral and class superiority.
Okay, okay, I'll stop griping about my class resentments and get down to business. Classical music has a power that is difficult to match. I find it capable of plumbing depths of emotion that other kinds of music can't even get close to. Ever since election day I have been returning to classical music for comfort and for wallowing. It can put my mind at ease, but it can also get me weepy, depending on what I need that day. Here's a sample of stuff that works for me:
Samuel Barber, "Adagio For Strings"
Beautiful. Devastating. I feel like this is what they should be playing on the radio right now on a 24 hour loop. I have never heard any piece of music that sounds more like my soul in a state of mourning. I have a hard time even articulating something to say about this work of music, it moves me so much.
Albinoni, "Adagio in G Minor"
This YouTube link contains an ad for online therapy. That just about says it all, doesn't it? Evidently the original baroque composition was just a fragment discovered in Dresden after World War II, which was then worked into a real piece by Albinoni's biographer. That makes sense, since this is the sound of devastation, and Dresden was devastated like few other cities in the war.
Shostakovich, "Symphony 5, Third Movement (Largo)"
Like a lot of other modernist artists in the Soviet Union, Dmitri Shostakovich faced persecution once Stalin started pushing Socialist Realism. For his fifth symphony he would have to create something to please the state, or else. Most of it is upbeat and "heroic," especially the fourth movement, which he intended to be a ridiculous parody of "inspiring" music. The third movement, however, is Shostakovich's requiem for his friends jailed and murdered by the Soviet state. I remember hearing it played live at the symphony and fighting to control my emotions. Nowadays I get extra emotional thinking about how his dedication has managed to live on while Stalin's body still molders in the grave. I take my hope where I can find it.
Beethoven, "Symphony 6, First Movement"
Alright, enough of the mopey music. I used to love the real headbanging Beethoven music, like the 5th or the 9th, but in my middle age I have attained a huge love of the 6th, or "Pastoral" symphony. The Romantic movement was obsessed with nature, and it never was personified as gorgeously as in this symphony. The glory and beauty of the natural world is mostly muted in the winter time, so I put this symphony on to get a taste of it.
Mozart, "Marriage of Figaro Overture"
Bach may be more satisfying, Beethoven more emotional, but neither is as joyous as Mozart. There is something in his music that I can't quite name that just makes me glad to be alive. Mozart just makes me smile. His joyful, light touch might be expressed best in the overture to Figaro. I dare you to be in a bad mood after listening to this.

Bulletin TB-80005
December 18, 2008
Why do the new California catalytic converters cost more?
- Effective January 1, 2009 the California Air Resources Board has mandated that ALL catalytic converters sold or installed on a California Registered vehicle be a higher emissions reduction unit and that the units are selected from an application specific catalog. For complete application information go to www.car-sound.com.
- California has instituted the new standards in order to provide a significant improvement in air quality by the year 2012. These higher standards demand that the new converters be higher performing. They have to meet higher emissions standards, thus requiring much higher precious metal loadings.
This action will result in,
- *Emission levels of HC will decrease by up to 10,600 lbs per day.
- *Emission levels of NOx will decrease by up to 62,600 lbs per day.
- *Emission levels of CO will decrease up to 102,600 lbs per day.

Today I'm going to explain how I altered the pattern pieces of the pair of trousers I'm making in my Clothes Making class.
First, I took (or remembered from pre-pregnancy days!) the following measurements:
– Waist: Smallest part around body (Diagram A)
– Hip: Widest part of lower body (Diagram A)
– Inside Leg. Top of inside of leg to floor (Diagram A)
– Outside Leg. Waist to floor
– Crotch Depth. Waist to flat surface while sitting (Diagram B)
Diagram A
Diagram B
With these measurements I was then able to determine which size of trouser pattern was the nearest match (remembering to allow for any ease included in the pattern), and make any fitting adjustments that were needed.
This is the front trouser pattern piece, after I have adjusted the crotch depth and length of trouser.
Rather than doing it how I did it, length of trouser then crotch depth, you should adjust the crotch depth first. This should be done of the back pattern piece.
On the pattern the crotch line is marked with a horizontal line (pink line). From this line, up to the top of the waistband is the crotch depth.
On this pattern, the waistband is a seperate pattern piece (not shown), and the top of the finished waistband sits 2.5cm below the waist.
This meant that I had to add 2.5cm, and the width of the waistband (minus seam allowance), to the crotch depth on the main pattern piece. After doing all of this, the crotch depth came to 1cm less than my actual measurement, which would mean a very snug fit and the possibility of not being able to sit down!
You should also add 1 – 2cm ease to the crotch depth. In order to make this adjustment, I cut a straight line through the pattern piece, between the top of the pattern piece and the crotch line.
I then spread the pattern open by 2cm (the additional 1cm needed for crotch depth to equal my own, and 1cm ease), and filled it with extra paper. This is the white line you can see in the photo above.
You should ensure that all lines on the pattern (e.g. grain line) still line up now the pattern pieces have been separated.
This alteration should then be done to the front pattern piece as well.
The next step was to alter the length. To do this I used my inside leg measurement, and compared it to the inside leg measurement on the front pattern piece. This is taken from the crotch line downwards, but stopping before the 2.5cm hem allowance.
It seems I am a little bit short, so I had to remove 2cm from the pattern. Most patterns have a horizontal black line indicating where adjustments should be made without altering the overall cut of the garment. Here I folded away 2cm of the pattern to make the trousers the correct length.
This was then repeated for the back pattern piece.
And those were the alterations I made! There are obviously many more that need to be made for a perfect fit, but that's plenty for a beginners class I think!

Spooky Halloween Lightpainting with the Diana Instant Back+13 25 Share Tweet
Boo! Time to take those colorful, ghastly shots and develop them in an Instant! Our friends from Hong Kong show you how, just in time for Trick or Treat!
Halloween is near! This year, why not challenge your ghoulish selves and your friends to take fun lightpainting photographs with the Diana Instant Back+? The result is really funny, and could finally done in Instant film – as our friends from Hong Kong did, as inspired by PikaPika's Long Exposure project from Japan (ain't this great, a global Lomographic project!)
Rather than calling this an experiment, think of it as intense and fun light play! Here's what you need:
- Diana F+ unit
- Diana Instant Back+
- Packs of Fuji Instant film (amount depends on how much you'd like to go crazy with this project!)
- Flashlight (penlight-type would work best)
- Cellophane Paper or Lomographic Color Gels
- You need also need at least one extra person to do this project, but the more the merrier!
First, cut your cellophane paper into narrow strips, and stick it to your flashlight with clear tape. You could also use your color gels from your Colorsplash Flash, Ringflash or whatever you could find! Various colors are put in and will help you out in creating these beautiful instant masterpieces! After all, it's in the power of your external light which makes this wonderful play-experiment possible!
The next step is to attach your Diana F+ to a tripod unit (or stable place) and adjust your focusing distance. It would be great if you do this project in a pitch-dark room. Make sure to set your Diana's shutter mode to B (bulb). One friend will control the shutter release, while one in the dark would write with the flashlight. After taking your long exposure shot, please push the film development button. Pay attention that if your shutter release stays on too long, you might over-expose your photo – you don't want whitewashed instants, do you? (Set your Diana F+'s opening to F16/22.)
Viola! You now have spooky, light-painted Instant Film wonders sure to impress those trick-or-treaters! Pretty neat stuff, don't you think?
Check out the original post from our friends in Hong Kong
and also in Japanese

Givenchy Spring 2014 Pre-Collection
Givenchy's SS14 men's pre-collection is not for the faint-hearted. Awash with eclectic prints, thrown together, the collection takes inspiration from suave and bold Latin men who refuse to blend into the crowd. These are men who have the confidence to clash busy prints and carry ambitious looks without question.
In the accompanying lookbook, a string of vivid, print-heavy pieces are lined up as our eyes are tantalised with floral prints, camouflage and checks. As the collection progresses, prints are juxtaposed with a more rapid vigour; as if man's confidence is steadily evolving. Cut and paste techniques are a shining centrepiece in this collection, with patchwork glimpses offering surprising compositions. Layering is masterful and marks the difference between a man who looks as if he got dressed in the dark and a man who is fashion-forward and interesting.
A firm favourite of Givenchy top dog Riccardo Tisci, streetwear influences are again championed this season. The urbanite is evident in t-shirts, parkas and kilts mingling with elegant formal wear. Whilst the prints win our attention in a particularly boastful manner, it is the sleek tailoring which vies for our affections deservingly.
The formal wear is seriously sophisticated; anchoring sharp cuts and sleek silhouettes into the Givenchy signature aesthetic. With snug tailoring, these pieces are effortlessly elegant and spiced up with printed shirts and relaxed sandals.
Givenchy will also throw a men's bag collection into the works this season. The collection will feature travel bags, everyday bags and clutch bags. Expect some of the pre-collection prints to stray into the designs and watch out for an interesting sounding appearance from braided multi-coloured leather.

A star wandering too close to a massive black hole can be torn apart by the tidal force of the black hole. Such a tidal disruption event (TDE) illuminates a massive black hole for about a year. In the first few months, stellar material can be supplied to the black hole at a rate greatly exceeding the Eddington accretion rate, giving us a perfect window to peek into super-Eddington accretion. The understanding of super-Eddington accretion has important implications for black hole growth and galaxy evolution in the early universe. In this talk, I will first give a summary of the observational status of TDEs. Then I will introduce the basics of TDE physics and present our theoretical calculations on what are the key parameters leading to super-Eddington TDEs. Lastly, I will talk about our 3D general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics simulations of super-Eddington accretion disks in the context of TDEs. The results of these simulations provide us answers to some puzzles posed by TDE observations, and can be applied to study other super-Eddington astrophysical systems.

Joe Manganiello proposed to Sofia Vergara during their Christmas vacation with friends and family including Sofia's son, Manolo, 22.
Joe proposed with a giant diamond engagement ring. However, insiders reveal he was extremely nervous. He planned the proposal carefully and made the event itself private because he was worried Sofia would say no.
A source admitted, "He said he wanted to keep it private just in case she didn't say yes."
Adding, "It actually didn't seem like he was joking about that. He did seem genuinely nervous that maybe this wasn't going to go well. He said this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with a one-in-a-million woman."
"Joe definitely planned ahead and contacted the hotel weeks in advance to discuss certain things he wanted to do. He didn't want to propose in a public setting, even though there are so many beautiful spots on the hotel grounds that have spectacular views and are well-known as places where people pop the question," added the source of Joe planning the proposal while he and Sofia were together at the St. Regis Hotel in Princeville.
The couple also celebrated Joe's birthday during the same Hawaiian vacation.

Wall St suffers from indigestion
Dec. 02 - Summary: Stocks slide as weak Black Friday sales offset strong manufacturing data, leading some to question if stock prices are too expensive relative to the economy. Conway G. Gittens reports.
Investors returned from the Thanksgiving holiday full and not willing to pile any more stocks on their plates. Wall Street closed near the lows of the day, with blue chips the biggest percentage loser. But there remains a debate as to whether the market is too expensive with stocks heading for double-digit gains this year. Ben Inker, co-head of asset allocation at GMO, says he's finding it hard to find things to buy. SOUNDBITE: BEN INKER, CO-HEAD OF ASSET ALLOCATION, GMO (ENGLISH) SAYING: "We think the U.S. stock market is quite substantially overvalued. We don't think you are getting paid much at all for taking equity risk in most U.S. stocks. We see that particularly in the small cap stock side where a lot of the stocks are trading at levels even more expensive than they did in 2000." More consumers flocked to the shops this year during the Black Friday weekend compared to last year, but higher foot traffic didn't translate into higher sales, according to the National Retail Federation. Shoppers only want to buy items with the big price cuts and that can't be good for retail profits. Retailers now hope they can make up the difference with deals on the web, with sales expected to break records on Cyber Monday. Those products bought online have to get to you somehow and Amazon.com thinks a drone may be a good option. In a televised interview, CEO Jeff Bezos said the biggest online retailer could start using unmanned drones to deliver packages within the next four or five years. Some though wonder if Bezos was cleverly delivering a publicity stunt at what is the retailer's most crucial time of the year. Other corporate headlines: Microsoft gets the ok to buy Nokia's mobile phone business from U.S. regulators. The EU is expected to make a decision later this week. And Hilton joins the IPO frenzy. The hotel chain is planning the biggest hotel debut in history. On to the economy now...manufacturing expanding at its fastest pace in 2-1/2 years and employment was up as well. European stocks were mostly lower with investors also worry about retail profits due to deep discounts.

Daily Synopsis
Today turned out to be one of those days when things just worked out better than planned; and it started with me taking a chance that Argyle Jnr and her kids would still be around the area where they had the kill yesterday, and I made my way straight to the area passing the usual impalas and waterbucks on the way.
Nearing the area, we heard that her boy was indeed still around, and was at Leadwood Bush Braai...well, not so mat "at" as "on" the braai (barbeque!)...After enjoying more impalas, I made my way straight to this area, knowing what a strange sight this would be, and sure enough, there he was just chilling on the cool slab of concrete, making for a memorable scene!
Nearing the area, we heard that her boy was indeed still around, and was at Leadwood Bush Braai...well, not so mat "at" as "on" the braai (barbeque!)...After enjoying more impalas, I made my way straight to this area, knowing what a strange sight this would be, and sure enough, there he was just chilling on the cool slab of concrete, making for a memorable scene!
Little did I know that this was just the start of things. After posing and then having his attention caught by some distant giraffes, the crunching of bones behind the bushes was too tempting for him to ignore, so he climbed down and ambled over to see what was going on...we already knew it could only be hyenas! Soon enough, two hyenas chased him off and came up the bank and walked around the bush braai sniffing where he had been, while the leopard was below sniffing where the hyenas had been...until the hyenas came back...
The leopard climbed up a small rock, so small that it barely offered any protection against the hyenas, and suddenly, the leopard was in a very precarious position, and we all sat holding our breaths wondering how this was going to end...it got more interesting when the second hyena arrived!
But rather than running away, the leopard held his ground and showed a confidence that seemed to stop the hyenas, and intensifying his snarls as they circled the rock on which he was still perched.
At one point, he had a hyena either side of him, and while snarling at one, the other took this chance to get a bit closer and stood sniffing the leopards tail, but on feeling this, the leopard whipped it away before the hyena could nip at it!
Eventually the hyenas started losing interest and gave him a bit more space, but the leopard didn't run off just yet; we left to give Pete a space, and after a while the leopard did move off and get up a tree where he was safer, but I was wholly impressed with his temperament and the fact that he didn't back down! The fact that the hyenas were quite young probably helped keep their confidence down, but whatever the case, it was a wonderful sighting, and definitely my best sighting of 2013 so far!
The rest of the drive was also great – leaving the leopard we enjoyed a baby croc as well as a not-so-baby elephant grazing nearby to buffalo pan.
I chose to head south to go and see a large herd of buffalos that had been hanging around down that side the last few days and had a quiet trip down south, but it was worth it. On the way, we got to see four rhinos grazing just off the road, but as it was wet and the grass was long, it wasn't the best ever visual, but still good to see; while with them, we could also hear elephants nearby, and after a few minutes they came and crossed the road in front of us before disappearing north.
A little down the road, we managed to find some of the buffalo, but based on how large this herd was supposed to be, we struggled to find the bulk of it, eventually giving up and settling for just a small portion that were moving towards a mudwallow to bath and drink, still resulting in another lovely sighting.
Making it through one virgin river crossing, we stopped for a cup of coffee before we made the long trip back, deciding to leave the lions for the afternoon drive.
The Ximpoko and Mabande male lions had arrived in the area of the giraffe carcass, but on the western side, so my plan was to head to the west for the afternoon and go see them later in the evening. Peter found a lovely herd of elephants near the lodge, so we began with them, and it had my favourite old elephant cow in, and as usual, she ended up walking within 1m of us, giving the guests on the back row one of the biggest smiles I have seen! What a wonderful experience!
Moving west, we saw impala, waterbuck and some good birds, but had no luck with the leopard that had been seen near Peru Dam in the morning...and in fact, the whole trip south along the Nhlaralumi produced nothing again, not even impalas!
The lions had now moved to the riverbed, and we had to access from the east – not a problem bar the fact we were on the west and could not cross as the river was still too wet...but I was going to try anyway! Fortunately Pete had stopped for drinks at the very crossing I was going to be the guinea pig on. We both knew I wasn't going to make it, but needless to say, I tried anyway.
I got about 1m in before my vehicle sank and my hand instinctively reached for the tow rope for the third time in the last few weeks! Pete also got his tow rope out...a pity that even with both it left us about 5m short, so we tried to get Pete's car further back, but he too almost got stuck and we had to push him out. A third tow rope arrived but we were still a meter short, so a fourth vehicle came to give us a hand, and with the rope now long enough, we managed to pull me to the eastern side of the river proving that all is well that ends well!
After a bit of a bumble we moved towards the lions that were lying near the giraffe carcass in the riverbed, but wisely neither male fed on it! Mabande had a bit of a limp, but had no visible signs of injury, so will see how he goes; the giraffe looked less well, and half covered in sand and water, with maggots and ill-looking flesh on the menu, I cant imagine the lions will hang around long!
We had a wonderful drink at Leopard Rock Hide before making the long trip home, navigating another crossing without getting stuck, yayness! We didn't see much but an owl on the way back, but considering what we did see today, we once again returned to the lodge with a bunch of happy guests...even if Julian didn't get to see his necking giraffes!

Jammu ————–The Pakistan Army today for the second consecutive day fired small arms and shelled forward areas along the Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch district.
"The Pakistan Army initiated unprovoked and indiscriminate firing of small arms, automatics and mortars from 0745 hours in the Krishna Ghati (KG) sector along the Line of Control (LoC) today," a defence spokesman said on the ceasefire violation.
The Indian Army is retaliating strongly and effectively. "Firing is still on," he said.
Yesterday, an Army jawan and a porter were killed, and six others injuredwhen Pakistani troops fired small arms on forward areas along the LoC in the sector.
The firing of small arms and automatics by Pakistani troops yesterday had continued till evening, the spokesman said.
Sepoy T K Reddy (21) from Obulapuram village in AndhraPradesh's Prakasam district and defence porter Mohd Zahir (22) from Kalali village in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district died from serious injuries, he said.
Six other personnel, including a defence porter, were also injured.
On October 6, Pakistani troops had opened fire on Baba Khori and other areas in Rajouri district, and on October 4, three Army jawans were injured in unprovoked and indiscriminate firing inthe Poonch sector.
An Army jawan was killed in a ceasefire violation by Pakistan along the LoC in Poonch on October 3 and on October 2, two minors had died and 12 civilians were injured in cross-border shelling.
The year 2017 has seen a sharp increase in ceasefire violations by Pakistan.

Myanmar's opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi is to collect her Nobel peace prize after two decades during her two-week visit to Europe.
Suu Kyi won the prize in 1991 and she has been waiting for more than 20 years to collect the coveted title.
The pro-democracy leader has kicked off her 17-day Europe visit. Suu Kyi will be visiting the UK, Switzerland, France, Ireland and Norway where she will be accepting her prize.
This is her first visit since 1988 as she had spent the last two decades under house arrest. Suu Kyi will be addressing the British parliament during her visit.
She was released from her house arrest only in November 2010, and then she won a parliament seat in the Myanmar elections recently.
She made an overseas trip to Thailand in May which was her first abroad visit since her release.
"Each country will be different. I will know how backward [Burma] is when I reach the other countries. I would like to do my best for the interests of the people," she was quoted by the BBC as saying before her departure from Burma.
She will first arrive in Geneva to address the annual conference of the UN's International Labour Organisation on Thursday and later she will be seen accepting her much-awaited Nobel peace prize in Norway.
Suu Kyi will address both houses of the British parliament which is a rare honour. Oxford will be conferring an honorary doctorate on Suu Kyi, an alumnus of the university.
In Dublin, during a short visit, Suu Kyi will be receiving a special award from Amnesty International.
There is no official word from President Thein Sein on Suu Kyi's Europe tour.

919 Baltimore Pike
Glen Mills, PA 19342
Sun-Thurs: 7am-9pm, Fri-Sat: 7am-10pm
Service: Horrible... Waiters need less hormones and be more service-oriented... We were the only table of his NOT filled with giggling high school girls. He must have checked on his other tables about five times, but we never even got a drink refill! My food (and my sister's) came out horribly cooked, and we couldn't even get his attention to send it back! Luckily, my sister has some pretty big balls and got another member of the waitstaff to summon a manager. Oh boy, did she let them have it!
Ambiance: This is probably the only place where they get high marks... The interior is pretty rad. It is like walking straight into a 1950's diner, complete with the kitschy waitress dresses and little white aprons. Everything is bright and white and silver and shiny! There is a train choo-chooing along a track, old timey coke signs-- it is a lot of fun to take in!
|i took this photo from google -
i was too angry to even think about taking photos that night!
Food: We have mixed things to say about their food. My veggie burger was HORRIBLE. It was as hard as a rock. I wanted to send it back, but we never got the server's attention. I never had my glass refilled. My son's grilled cheese was more like a cold cheese sandwich. Corey had a regular hamburger, and said it was alright, but he really liked his milkshake. My sister Kelly, had a chicken wrap that tasted like it had been under a light bulb for 60 years. This was not a good first impression. I wish I could say that the place was totally packed and maybe we came at a bad time, but there were still plenty of open tables and there were a lot of servers... our was just M.I.A.
As for the menu in general, there are lots of vegetarian options-- sweet potato fries, breaded zucchini, veggies tacos, portobello sandwich-- but I honestly do not think I am willing to go back back and try them... sorry guys!
Cons: If you want to be ignored and be served sub-par food, this place is for you.
Bottom Line: To quote Less Than Jake, "I'm feeling like I'm never going back, no I'm never going back, no... and I'm feeling like I'm never going back again, never going back again!"

NEWPORT NEWS – Riverside Regional Medical Center is the only hospital in Virginia to be recognized for efforts to protect newborns from a potentially chronic virus.
The facility was recently named to the Hepatitis B Birth Dose Honor Roll by the Immunization Action Coalition, a group that works with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to promote immunization.
RRMC's hepatitis B vaccination rate for babies born at the hospital in 2013 was 96 percent. Of the remaining 4 percent, some parents declined the shot.
"We're very happy," said Dr. Elias Tessema, a neonatologist on the RRMC Women & Infant Care Unit. He said the facility has made the vaccinations a priority over the last several years. "Every baby, when they are admitted, gets an order for the shot."
Ticorea Williams, nurse-manager for the Women & Infant Care Unit, credits strong processes for the achievement. Nurses actually begin talking to families about the vaccination even before the baby is born. "It is one of the first things that we do," Williams said. "We want to make sure it's not missed."
All babies should receive their first shot of hepatitis B vaccine before they leave the hospital, according to CDC guidelines. This reduces the risk of getting the disease from moms or family members who may not know they are infected.
RRMC is also committed to protecting babies of moms known to have hepatitis B. A different vaccine is administered in those cases. "We're trying to prevent the baby from getting hepatitis B from the mother," Dr. Tessema said.
"Hospitals and birthing centers have a responsibility to protect babies from life-threatening hepatitis B infection," said Deborah Wexler, MD, executive director and founder of IAC. "Riverside Regional Medical Center's commitment to the best practice of hepatitis B vaccination at birth has shown them to be a leader in preventing the transmission of the hepatitis B virus."
Riverside hospitals have focused on processes, with an eye on consistency and improvement, to make sure patients get everything they need. This helps us deliver the Riverside Care Difference, our commitment to keep patients safe, help them heal, be kind and respect their wishes.

Rexroth, Kenneth
Kenneth Rexroth, 1905–82, American poet, critic, and translator, b. South Bend, Ind. A resident of San Francisco, he was briefly associated with the beat generation, although he disdained their lack of discipline. Self-educated, he taught himself several languages; his translations include One Hundred Poems from the Japanese (1956) and The Orchid Boat: Women Poets of China (with Ling Chung, 1973). He is best known, however, for his own poetry. Modernist in his early life, simple and Zenlike in his later years, his verse is unified by autobiographical content, a mingling of the personal with the political, and a concern with the transience of life and the transcendent joys of nature and eros. His verse collections include In What Hour (1940), The Phoenix and the Tortoise (1944), In Defense of the Earth (1956), and New Poems (1974). He also wrote one volume of verse plays, Beyond the Mountains (1951), and several volumes of essays, including Bird in the Bush (1959), Alternative Society: Essays from the Other World (1970), and Communalism: From Its Origins to the 20th Century (1975).

At the Committee on Student Life meeting Thursday morning, College administrators and House Masters discussed an initiative proposed by the Institute of Politics Tobacco Control Policy Group that would develop and implement a University-wide smoke-free policy.
Members of the policy group—which consists of five undergraduates and their adviser Mackenzie J. Lowry '11—have presented their proposal to a number of student life groups beginning last semester.
Lowry, who serves as a freshman proctor in Wigglesworth, said that the group hopes the University will gradually institute a campus-wide smoke-free policy in 2012. The group suggested that Harvard impose the ban on Harvard Yard before extending the policy to cover the rest of campus.
"The reason we're focusing first and foremost on Harvard Yard, is because—as Occupy Harvard really highlighted—Harvard Yard is very symbolic of Harvard University as a whole," Lowry said. "It really represents the heart of Harvard."
Lowry added that she thinks a smoking ban is important because smoking is a serious public health issue.
The House Masters at the meeting agreed that the College should move toward being a smoke-free environment. They expressed a preference for a common policy on campus as opposed to different policies for each of the Houses and the Yard.
Lowry said that she hopes the potential plan would encourage Harvard affiliates to quit smoking.
"Suppose the policy is announced in May," Lowry said. "It will take a few months to go into effect. During that time, people will be given enough time to seek out Harvard's fantastic cessation resources in anticipation of adjusting to a smoke-free environment."
The Office of Alcohol and Other Drug Services provides Harvard students looking to quit smoking with "individual consultations, literature, referrals, and free quit kits," according to its website.
For Harvard staff, Harvard University Health Services waives the co-pay for visits to a tobacco treatment specialist, Lowry said.
Harvard's Longwood Medical campus, home to the Harvard Medical School and the School of Public Health, has been smoke-free since Mar. 2009. The Harvard Kennedy School recently announced that it will become a smoke-free campus on Mar. 1, 2012.
At the meeting, Committee members also discussed updates on the drafting of a new, comprehensive College-wide alcohol policy. The new policy will respond to student input gathered from an Office of Student Life online forum that was created earlier this month.
Dean of Student Life Suzy M. Nelson said that once student comments have been summarized, the alcohol policy committee will hold additional meetings in each residential neighborhood and the Yard to present "the alcohol policy and rationale for the Committee's recommendations."
For its final topic, the Committee discussed the resources available for students who become pregnant. Director of the Harvard College Women's Center Gina Helfrich explained the resources available to pregnant students on campus.
Helfrich said that she used feedback from UHS to create a new brochure that outlines women's on-campus options for responding to pregnancy. Helfrich said that an online version will be available on the Women's Center website.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Singapore's Lam Chi Bing grabbed a share of the lead at the Panasonic Open India on Thursday as he bids to revive his career after losing his Asian Tour card last year.
Lam birdied the last hole to join the Australian duo of Kieran Pratt and Wade Ormsby in a three-way tie at the top of the first-round leaderboard with a bogey at the 12th the only blot in his otherwise strong five-under 67.
"Losing my Tour card last season was disappointing but I hope to make it up this season with performances like this," said the 36-year-old Lam, who is eyeing his second win in Asia.
"It wasn't easy out there. It was the most windy round that I've ever played in at Delhi Golf Club. The winds were swirling and I got lucky quite a few times today," he added.
Pratt also remains on track for his second Asian Tour title after a blemish-free round that included three birdies and an eagle on the par-five first.
"I've been building a lot of confidence with my ball-striking and that's pretty important around Delhi Golf Club," said Pratt who started the back nine in 10th.
"It has been a while since my last win and you get that itch where you want to win again," he added.
Compatriot Ormsby, seeking a breakthrough in Asia, matched him to stay two shots ahead of local favorite S.S.P. Chowrasia.
Five-time Asian Tour winner Boonchu Ruangkit of Thailand was among the seven players tied for fifth on 70.
Former Asia number one Jeev Milkha Singh was a further two shots behind while former Ryder Cup player Oliver Wilson of England struggled on his India debut, ending the day with a six-over 78.
The top-three will be given invitations to the Asia-Pacific Panasonic Open, co-sanctioned by the Japanese Tour in Osaka, Japan in September.

IRVING, Texas — Phillip Tanner and Lance Dunbar could very well be splitting the carries for the Cowboys this weekend.
No wonder Jerry Jones was citing injuries as the main reason for backtracking furiously about his preseason talk of expecting Dallas to contend for a Super Bowl.
The announcement of season-ending toe surgery cost the Cowboys the services of Pro Bowl inside linebacker Sean Lee yesterday, and their top two running backs — DeMarco Murray and Felix Jones — both missed the first practice of the week in preparation for Sunday's NFC East rematch with the Giants at Cowboys Stadium.
Murray appears likely to miss his second consecutive game with a sprained foot, while Jones is looking iffy to suit up against Big Blue because of a bruised knee. If Jones doesn't recover enough to practice by tomorrow, the not-so-illustrious combination of Tanner and Dunbar would get the call.
It would feel like a mayday call for Tony Romo, who likely turns into a sitting duck against the Giants' fearsome pass rush with a running game behind him consisting of a pair of former undrafted free agents, one of whom (Dunbar) is a rookie.
"I've said all along that I think this team has an opportunity to be a [Super Bowl] contender, but that one exception that I made was — as we're seeing right now — injuries can make a difference in the NFL," Jerry Jones said Wednesday, trying to take the pressure off his injury-ravaged team.
At least the backfield injuries don't appear to be long-term problems for 3-3 Dallas. Jerry Jones said the Cowboys don't expect Murray's sprained foot to be season-ending, and Felix Jones isn't being ruled out Sunday despite leaving last week's win over the Panthers with a bruised knee.
But if neither can go, even a shaky Giants run defense that ranks 23rd in the league wouldn't seem to have much to fear from Tanner and Dunbar. Tanner took over for Jones against Carolina and got a career-high 13 carries but mustered just 30 yards, while Dunbar's lone NFL carry came two weeks ago in Baltimore for 11 yards.
Anything's possible in today's parity-riddled NFL, of course, but Tanner and Dunbar instead of Murray and Jones would probably just put Romo in the crosshairs.
It certainly would boost the Giants' confidence, considering Murray and the rest of Dallas' running game gouged them for 143 yards on the ground last month in a 24-17 win at MetLife Stadium in the season opener.
Then again, that running game hasn't done much since then (the Cowboys rushed for more than 84 yards in just one of their next five games) and yet Dallas has still managed a .500 record and is just a field goal away in a 31-29 loss to the Ravens from being 4-2.
A green backfield certainly wouldn't have the Cowboys feeling sorry for themselves. Just ask veteran fullback Lawrence Vickers, who was a member of the Texans last season when they reached the playoffs despite a flood of injuries.
"Last year in Houston, it seemed like we had somebody go down every week," Vickers said. "But after a while, we got used to it. When a guy goes down, the next guy steps up and it becomes his job. And you keep on ticking. Everybody's a starter, man. That's how you've got to prepare."

dyed pasta.) I was in love with the vibrant colors!
(My first photo collage!)
I mixed all the pastel colors together first (those from my neon pack) and really liked that combination. It would be great for a spring or Easter project.
Then I added the rest. I could tell immediately that I didn't have enough. When I got to school and dumped it in the sensory tub, it was just a thin layer that barely covered the bottom. But it will do for now and someday I'll make more. I added some little bears that the kids could bury.
So that is the end of our Color week. I hope you got some good ideas!

Today over on the CHF blog, it is my turn to post. I decided to draw some attention to the technique forum. There are so many wonderful tutorials to be discovered there! I chose 2 tutorials to try and here are the results.
The first is a technique called vintage photo tinting. I used the Thomas Kinkade Graceland Christmas image, the details stamp so beautifully for this technique.
It uses glossy paper for that photo effect. The tutorial says to use Stone Grey Stazon but since I didn't have that I used black instead. The snowflake embossed panel is a very light blush pink color which didn't photograph as well as I would have wanted.
The other tutorial I tried was a postcard holder that Lisa did last August. The holder is a fun idea and instead of postcards, I made mine to hold a set of 4 note cards.
Here are some close-ups of the cards...
And of the inside of the holder.

The Best Limousine Rental Car Models For Weddings
Weddings in Geelong are one of the more memorable experiences that any person can experience. It is one of those events that require a lot of preparation and planning in order to get the whole experience to be very special. Although the wedding has a lot of aspects that people mostly focus on when they are preparing for it, one of the more subtle but important aspect in a wedding is the car that the newlywed couple would be riding in after the wedding.
Planning an outdoor wedding? A multi-family rummage sale? An outdoor graduation celebration? When events like these are being planned, most likely you'll be thinking about renting tents. Here are a few tips to help you with your tent rental decision.
Surface ground: Rental tents vary in material, size and cost. Depending on the type of surface ground that you'll be using, your tent choices might be limited. A pole tent creates high elegant peaks and is ideal for an outdoor wedding, reception or a corporate social event. However, the tent must be installed on a grass surface. A frame tent is much more versatile and can be installed on concrete, grass or even sand.
Lastly, be sure to make arrangements for renting tents in advance. Spring and summer months are peak months for tent rentals. There's nothing worse than planning an outdoor event, and discovering that you waited too long to inquire about the tents.

The benefits of music therapy for Alzheimer's patients are undeniable; all you have to do is check out videos on YouTube of nursing home residents reacting to hearing their favorite music on an iPod. Is there actual research that supports the theory, though?
There is. The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) has promoted research that studies the effects of music on people with Alzheimer's disease. Articles have been published in peer-reviewed music therapy journals, such as the Journal of Music Therapy, Music Therapy, and Music Therapy Perspectives, as well as in journals outside the profession.
So what does the research say about music therapy's benefits for elderly Alzheimer's patients?
- It reduces depression.
- It can be structured to enhance socioemotional skills, assist in memory and language skills, and decrease problem behaviors.
- It can be used to assess cognitive ability.
- It can decrease the frequency of agitated and aggressive behaviors.
- Even people in the late stages of dementia respond to and interact with music.
Because music therapy is a nonthreatening, powerful type of sensory stimulation, it provokes responses because of the familiarity, predictability, and feelings of security associated with it. According to the AMTA website, "Music therapy interventions can be designed to promote wellness, manage stress, alleviate pain, enhance memory, improve communication, and provide unique opportunities for interaction.
You should be able to expect gentle care of your loved one living in a Louisville nursing home.
