In the event that the value of assets exceeds current liability limits, it is crucial to consider an umbrella insurance policy.
Easthampton, MA (PRWEB) March 03, 2014
Massachusetts insurance agency, Banas & Fickert Insurance Agency, recognizes the month of March as National Umbrella Month. To celebrate, the agency shares information and advice on umbrella insurance.
One of the most important financial decisions that people have to make on a regular basis is purchasing an insurance policy. The average adult holds a number of policies, including auto, homeowners, life insurance, or even personal liability insurance. In many cases, people will benefit from having an umbrella insurance policy on top off their other insurance policies. Umbrella insurance provides an extra layer of coverage to an individual, which could prove to be invaluable during an unexpected accident.
Umbrella insurance is a blanket policy that will provide coverage beyond what a base insurance policy will cover. How can one determine if an umbrella policy is necessary? The agency provides a few key steps:
- Do the math. Add up the worth of all assets (home, stocks, bank accounts, retirement funds, etc.)
- Compare this total to the current total of liability insurance protection (auto, home, etc.)
- Keep in mind: Future income should be analyzed to be insured as well as current assets
In the event that the value of assets exceeds current liability limits, it is crucial to consider an umbrella insurance policy.
Individuals who are undecided about the addition of an umbrella insurance policy should contact the agents at Banas & Fickert Insurance Agency. The agency is more than happy to sit down and discuss concerns and needs—no matter what policy. Call 800-590-8175 for more information.
About Banas & Fickert Insurance Agency:
Banas Fickert Insurance offers personal and business insurance services for Massachusetts individuals, families, and business owners. The agency strives to bring personalized customer service and comprehensive solutions, ensuring that even unique situations and businesses are properly taken care of. For insurance guidance, turn to Banas & Fickert Insurance Agency. We'll get it right the first time.

January 2014 has been a productive month for me, but it's not looking good for February, thanks to Google and LEGO. The companies today announced a new Chrome Experiment called "Build with Chrome", which basically lets you use your mouse (or touch-screen on a tablet) to build LEGO structures directly in your Web browser.
The system integrates with Google Maps, creating a plot based on a real map, and then letting you build whatever you want (should be interesting to see how quickly someone tries to create a Lego Las Vegas or Lego New York). This video shows you some more details of the project.
The site lets you see what other people have already built, and you can share your creations on Google+. It shouldn't take too long to see some pretty incredible buildings.
This site also ties in with February's "The LEGO Movie", another experience that has already infiltrated my house with its variety of movie trailers, new building sets, mini figures and even iPhone apps.

BioWare's shining the spotlight on Star Wars: The Old Republic's NPC companions via a new blog series appropriately named Companions 101. Today's entry features Kaliyo Djannis, who serves as something of a femme fatale for Imperial Agent players.
The dev blog paints Djannis as a complex character who loves to work for the Empire and manipulate her superiors. "When bringing Kaliyo along on missions, keep this in mind. She loves anarchy and respect –- but she will always have an ulterior motive," BioWare says. "Play her at her own game and keep her guessing. The minute Kaliyo becomes bored is the minute she either stabs you in the back or disappears from the ship... with most of your credits."

Severa is the future daughter of Cordelia. Because of her mother's prodigious skill, Severa was often compared inferiorly to her mother. Despite this, she wishes to be a strong warrior like her. However, as a result of the comparing, Severa developed a Tsundere personality, speaking the opposite of how she truly feels. She is also the biggest squanderer in the army.
Her starting class is a Mercenary because she does not want to be compared to her mother as much as possible.

Your eyes haven't deceived you. That's really Alec Baldwin helping out in a yoga video.
The cameo is part of Baldwin's wife Hilaria's new DVD, Fit Mommy-to-Be Prenatal Yoga, made when she was pregnant with the couple's daughter Carmen. (Little Carmen arrived in August).
"I did most of the yoga on my own, but he definitely helped me out. And part of the DVD is partner stretches," Hilaria told Vanity Fair this week. (You can also thank VF for the exclusive clip, below).
"Sometimes I step into his world, and that was an example of him stepping into my world. He very much did what I wanted him to do," she added. "I was the boss that day. We're both very bossy people, and that day he let me be the boss."
Fit Mommy-to-Be Prenatal Yoga is available for purchase Oct. 1.

Stop Counting Cups
You're hydrated if:
1. You're peeing regularly
2. Your urine is pale
3. Your skin springs back after being pinched
Just Add Ice
Cold fluids absorb heat and help keep your core body temperature cooler, allowing you to ride harder longer (13 percent longer, according to one study) in hot weather. Plus, they feel good going down and lift your spirits, which improves performance, too.
Myth: To avoid cramps, drink electrolytes.
Busted: A sports drink probably won't ease the pain. Newer research shows that if you're cramping, it's less likely because of dehydration and more likely due to fatigue and overexertion for your fitness level, and you need to back off the intensity.
The Evolution of Sipping Guidance
Before: Weigh Your Sweat Loss
The old line of thinking was that athletes should limit sweat loss during exercise to less than 2 percent of body weight—three pounds for a 150-pound cyclist—in order to prevent performance-hampering dehydration.
Then: Drink to Thirst
Research published in 2011 led to a newer rule, which was simply to drink when you feel thirsty.
Now: Don't Overthink It
A 2014 study reported that ultraendurance cyclists who drank whenever and however much they wanted did just as well as those who were instructed to sip according to thirst. In other words, you don't have to constantly worry about homing in on thirst sensations. As Forrest Gump put it, "That's good. One less thing."
HYPOTONIC: (hi'po-ton'ik) adj. A fancy way of saying that a drink has slightly lower sugar and electrolyte content than your body fluid so that your cells absorb it faster than they do plain water. Look for drink mixes that range from 3 to 6 percent carbohydrate content (like Osmo, Skratch, Nuun PLUS, and GU). If you want more calories, you can go up to 8 percent.

India Guar Gum Exports to Fall as Drillers Seek Substitutes
India's exports of guar gum, a thickening agent used for oil and gas extraction, may drop for the first time in three years after a record surge in prices forced drilling companies to seek cheaper alternatives.
Shipments may decline as much as 30 percent in the year that began on April 1 from 650,000 metric tons a year earlier, said P.K. Hissaria, president of the Indian Guar Gum Manufacturers Association. Exports in the six months through September were about 100,000 tons and sales will accelerate from this month with the arrival of the new crop, he said.
Falling exports may weigh on prices, which have slumped about 63 percent since reaching a record in March, lowering costs for oil and gas drilling services companies including Halliburton Co. (HAL) and Baker Hughes Inc. Lower prices will allow food companies easy access to a raw material that's also used as an ingredient in food emulsifiers, additives and thickeners.
"Low demand and high supply translates into lower prices," said Charlie Blanchard, an analyst with Bloomberg New Energy Finance.
Guar gum rallied more than nine-fold in one year to 95,920 rupees ($1,742) per 100 kilograms on the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Ltd. in Mumbai, forcing the commodity market regulator to suspend futures trading in March. The rally boosted costs for Halliburton, the world's largest provider of hydraulic-fracturing services, Chief Executive Officer Dave Lesar said in a conference call with analysts on Oct. 17.
Halliburton and Baker Hughes (BHI) help companies drill and complete oil and gas wells using a pressure-pumping technique known as fracking, which blasts water mixed with sand and chemicals underground to free trapped hydrocarbons from shale formations. Guar is made into a thickening gel used to carry sand down a well and into the cracks created from fracturing.
India accounts for more than 70 percent of the global production of guar, which means "cow food" in Hindi, according to the Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd. (MCX) The seed is also grown in Pakistan and the U.S.
Spot prices have slumped to $6,500 a ton since India banned futures trading and on expectations of a bigger crop, said Mitul Shah, managing director of Rama Industries, India's third- largest shipper. Oil and gas drilling companies will use guar only if prices were about $5,500 a ton as alternatives such as carbon methyl cellulose were available at lower prices, he said.
Higher inventories with the drilling companies and slowing drilling activities had reduced demand for Indian guar gum supplies, Shah said.
"Moving into next year we expect a reduction in guar costs as we take deliveries of new lower-cost inventory which we believe will translate into a tailwind to our PE margins in 2013," Halliburton's Lesar said.
Halliburton has developed an alternative to guar gum called PermStim that's highly competitive in the event of future guar cost escalation, Timothy J. Probert, president for strategy and corporate development, told analysts.
Guar seed production may climb to as much as 2.5 million tons this year, enough to make at least 600,000 tons of guar gum, from about 1.5 million tons in 2011-12, manufacturers' association's Hissaria said. The harvest has begun and arrivals will gather pace from the end of this month, he said.
The crop area under guar is estimated to have increased 56 percent to about 5 million hectares (12.4 million acres) this year in three major growing states of Rajasthan, Haryana and Gujarat, said Rajesh Kedia, director at Jai Bharat Gum & Chemicals Ltd., India's second-biggest exporter of guar gum.

M'sia tops investment
Source: The National, Thursday September 4th, 2014 Foreign direct investment by Malaysian companies in Papua New Guinea is said to be one of the biggest compared to investments from other countries. Last year, its total trade in PNG amounted to US$651.7 million (K1.58 billion). The country is rich with agriculture and natural resources products and Malaysia sourced mainly these products from PNG. Information from the Investment Promotion Authority shows investments by Malaysian firms are in all three sectors of the economy. In the primary sector, 69 companies are involved in forestry, 15 in agriculture, six in mining and petroleum and one in fisheries. In the secondary sector, 16 are in business management and consultancy services, 10 in the manufacturing industry. In tertiary sector, 51 are in wholesale and retail businesses, 44 in real estate, 29 in construction work, 12 in transport services and 11 in financing services. According to the Malaysian diplomatic office, its investment in PNG is among the highest in terms of value. Last year, proposed investment recorded at K6.3 billion mainly concentrated in wholesale and retail, financial intermediation, forestry, manufacturing and agriculture. The IPA has certified a total of 650 Malaysian enterprises to conduct business since 1999 with estimated 40,000 jobs created for local at various levels.

Illegal is defined in the Oxford dictionary as not allowed by the law. The Forestry Act (a) 1991 defines timber permit as a timber permit qranted under Section 73 or 75 of the Act. Section 73 (3) states that the effect of a timber permit is to authorize the holder to carry out the operation specified therein in the project area for the term and subject to the conditions specified therein and in accordance with the project statement, five year working plans and annual logging plans. Therefore, the legal logging under Papua New Guinea Forestry Act is when the timber permit holder carry out the operations in compliance of the terms and conditions of the timber Permit. The Non—Government Organization with their green agenda defines illegal logging as: "At its basic, illegal logging occurs when trees we cut, transported, brought or sold in violation of national laws". Source.www.greenpeace.org.uk The logging operation in Papua New Guinea is very closely monitored by the SGS whom audit all logging operations and the exports thereof. In recent years the definition was widen to include unrealistic green agenda of sustainability, hence tainting all legal logging operations as illegal according to the newly invented sustainability definition. The classic unrealistic sustainability definition reads as follows: A new concept in environmental and human affairs was introduced with Brudtland Declaration of 1987: "Sustainable development is development that "meets the needs of the present without comprising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs". Implicit in this often–quoted definition is the idea that the natural environment faces stress and overexploitation and will not be able to indefinitely meet escalating human demands. By itself, the Brundtland definition is insufficient. "How does one define "needs," as opposed to wants or even excessive luxury? Is a lowering of living standards acceptable? Is barely enough to eat and minimum shelter good enough? What about education and medical care? Does sustainability imply some equity in distribution of goods, or might an increasing gap between rich and poor meet sustainability test (if environmental and population stability are achieved)? Is ecosystem health important for itself, or it sustain humans". The Brudtland Declaration suggest some answers. "Linking global inequity to environmental degradation, it calls for a decrease in consumption in the wealthy global north, together with development for the impoverished global south. The implicit problem here is that the wealthy are often protected from the environmental costs of lifestyles, while the poor often lack the means to care for their immediate environment".

Palm Oil since its inception in Papua New Guinea 45 years ago since 1967, has played a major role in the development and progress of many individuals, families, rural communities and has contributed significantly to the growth of the national Gross Domestic Products (GDP) and as estimated in the next 5 to 10 years it will also contribute to the K8 Billion palm oil export value as a big player in the Agri-Industry business sector and is the second largest employer to the government of PNG with the potential to alleviate national rural poverty. The Sigitu/Mukus palm oil project development is another of Rimbunan Hijau's biggest investments in the country. The project currently employs 1000 staff and at the peak of the operation the staff strength will see about 3300 and the company has planned to upgrade the health and education facilities in the region. The palm oil project involves only about 38, 000 hectares and it is a 30 year cycle project with various multi-million processing factories being built. This legitimate commercial activity will contribute significantly to the livelihood of the ordinary Papua New Guineans from the said area that have been neglected for so many years and will sustainably contribute to the national revenue when it is fully operational. The majority of the landowners are in support of the project and few NGO driven groups are engaging in destructive activities in direct contravention of the wishes of the majority of landowners for development. This Sigitu/Mukus Special Agriculture Business Lease (SABL) palm oil project namely Ralopal concession issue was previously taken up by an NGO Group by way of litigation and the matter was conclusively decided by the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea in favor of the majority of landowners and Gilford Limited Palm Oil Project. As of October 2013 for the Drina and Rano camps in the project area 210km was constructed as the main road of which 70km was graveled, 330km as field roads for access of plantation works. In addition a total of 1,723 log culverts were constructed on the main roads and the plantation field roads and 765 units of log bridges on the main roads and plantation field roads. All the seedlings were ordered from DAMI Research Center, New Britain palm Oil in Kimbe which cost a total of USD 1,0505,500 with the 1st order: USD 0.70 per seed x 1,215,000 seeds = USD 850,500.00 and 2nd order: USD 0.80 per seed x 250,000 seeds = USD 200,000.00 which is equivalent K 2,997,146.93. Total purchased seeds: 1,465,000 seeds, Total seedlings in nursery: 1,068,681 seedlings, Total planted area: 3,800 ha (372,966 oil palm stands).

By JEFFREY ELAPA THE Government will hand down a deficit budget for 2014 focused on economic growth and developing infrastructure for the 2015 Pacific Games, official sources say. Prime Minister Peter O'Neill said the deficit budget would be between 5% and 6% of Gross Domestic Product. It may raise the national debt level to around 35% of GDP. He corrected a television news story that said the country was expected to pass a budget deficit of 35% of GDP. In a text message, O'Neill said: "The TV report is wrong. The total deficit is not going to be around 35% (of GDP). We expect a deficit of around 5-6% of the total GDP (US$17.430 billion)". Finance Minister James Marape said a minimal deficit to grow the economy was healthy. He said to build infrastructure such as roads, bridges and the 2015 Pacific Games infrastructure growth "is good for the nation". He said the budget would not pass the 35% debt-to-GDP ratio. He said it would be a manageable deficit budget "that is good to grow the economy". Treasurer Don Polye, right, who will table the 2014 national budget in parliament on Tuesday week, had confirmed it would be a deficit budget such as the 2013 one "but will be a manageable fiscal deficit". He said it would grow the economy and continue to be a fiscal budget with a very respectful fiscal limit, with a manageable debt. The PNG economic briefing from the World Bank group in the country reported that the country was expected to reach a budget deficit that would raise debt to around 35% of GDP by 2014. This is compared to the gross public debt near 25% of GDP in 2012 (not including contingent and off -balance sheet liabilities, estimated at a further 15% to 20% of GDP). The 2013 budget deficit of 7.2% was one of the highest since 1990. It was 9.5% deficit in 2009, during the global economic crisis. The good news is that the World Bank report said in 2015, the government expected a 26% increase in nominal GDP (as the PNG LNG production starts) will return the debt-to-GDP ratio to below 30% of GDP.

History of Rabaul Queen
Source: The National, Thursday August 22nd, 2013 THE mv Rabaul Queen ended 30 years of maritime service when it capsized off the Finschhafen coast, Morobe, on Feb 2 last year. The sinking of this Japanese-built vessel saw more than 160 lives lost, making it the worst in sea disaster in PNG history. The following is a brief history of the vessel until its sinking. Dec 1982: Launched as Ieshima at the Kawamoto Higashino-cho shipyard, Japan. Late 1998: Rabaul Shipping Ltd buys the Ieshima. March 5, 1999: Vessel renamed mv Rabaul Queen, issued with a PNG survey certification (and allowed to carry 295 passengers). It begins passenger services, operating initially between Rabaul and Kavieng. Its route is extended to include Kimbe and Lae. May 21, 2008: mv Rabaul Queen issued with a PNG Survey Certificate (valid until March 23, 2012). Jan 30, 2012 (3pm): The mv Rabaul Queen departs Buka wharf, Autonomous Region of Bougainville, for an overnight trip to Rabaul. Jan 31, 2012 6am-7am: The mv Rabaul Queen arrives in Rabaul. All passengers disembark and new tickets are bought for the Kimbe-Lae leg, including continuing passengers. The ship takes on fuel and water. 6.15pm: Passengers boarded and mv Rabaul Queen leaves Rabaul for overnight trip to Kimbe. Feb 1, 2012 9.15am: The mv Rabaul Queen arrived in Kimbe. 11am: Passengers board mv Rabaul Queen for its overnight trip to Lae. Reports indicate 360 passengers board. Also on board were 13 crew members, two canteen boys and the master of Solomon Queen. 12.47pm: mv Rabaul Queen departed Kimbe wharf, allegedly "packed and overloaded". 4pm: Reaching Cape Campbell (Eastern end of Willaumez Peninsula), mv Rabaul Queen meets prevailing strong north-westerly winds and rough seas. Rounding Cape Hollmann and heading towards Cape Gloucester, rough conditions increase as rain fall. Passengers on the starboard side of the upper and open promenade decks hit by the spray from the sea and many move to the port side and inside accommodation (resulting in more overcrowding and the vessel lean to one side at no more than 5 degrees). Rough seas and strong winds continue. Feb 2, 2012 2.20am: Reaching Cape Gloucester, mv Rabaul Queen alters course for Nessup Channel (southern end of Dampier Strait). 3.30am: Chief mate calls master to navigate the boat through Siassi Islands and into Vitiaz Strait. After leaving Umboi Island, increase prevailing north-westerly wind (20-30 knots) and rough seas (to 30m). Master disengages auto-pilot and takes over the steering control. Prevailing near gale force continued to hit mv Rabaul Queen's starboard quarters, rolling the ship and taking in water in the upper deck. List to port (leaning) continues. 5.30am: Chief mate leaves the bridge to go below to check on passengers, who are shouting "one more, one more" as the ship rides the waves. Attempts to balance the ship fails and mv Rabaul Queen continued to lean to one side. 5.45am: Morobe coastline becomes visible. 6.15am: Large wave hits the vessel on its starboard quarter. Stern pushes to port and the vessel heels over heavily to port. Master loses steering control and the ship's heads back to port. Second wave hits starboard side, and the port side become submerged. Water starts flooding the accommodation area. Third waves hits the exposed hull and the ship capsizes. No mayday signal broadcast. Most survivors escaped 10 minutes before mv Rabaul Queen sinks. Fuel and bilge oil begin floating. Ship's first 25-man life rafts, a few life jackets and buoyant floating devices surface. Some survivors swim and board life rafts, others are helped on board or cling to floating life jackets and floating devices. 9.40am: First ship, MOL Summer, arrive at the scene and rescued 116 survivors. Coordinate and call in other ships to the search and rescue operation. Total of 246 survivors are plucked from the sea by five ships (13 aircraft and 15 ships were involved in search and rescue). The Cap Scott rescued nine people, MSC Carole 53, Violet 39 and Zhong He 29. Feb 3, 2012 Passengers transfer from all rescuing ships to Lae harbour tugboat Victory and transported ashore.

Kapris killed
PAPUA New Guinea's most wanted man, William Kapris, has been killed by police. The convicted bank robber, who had been on the run for the last 10 weeks, was shot dead near Doa in Central, about 45km northwest of Port Moresby. Kapris' accomplice Raphael Walimini, a convicted murderer, was also killed in the shootout, which ended a massive manhunt by police who had offered a reward of K100,000 each for the pair. Five other people, including two women and a Defence Force soldier, who were travelling with Kapris and Walimini, have been arrested and locked up at the Boroko police cells. Assistant Police Commander Jim Andrews told reporters on Monday night that police had gone to Doa to apprehend the escapees after a tip off. "After three months of operations ... today we caught up with him following a tip-off from the public. As we were moving in to apprehend them, there was an exchange of fire," Andrews told reporters on Monday night. He added that no police officers were injured in the shootout. The Port Moresby General Hospital premises was a scene of screaming red and blue lights and loud horns as a police convoy, numbering more than 20 vehicles escorted the corpses to the morgue at around 10.10pm. As word of the capture and shooting dead of the country's notorious criminal spread throughout the city, the populace outside the hospital premises grew in numbers. Security was stepped up and only a few people were allowed in. The bodies of Kapris and Walimini were laid out inside the morgue area where police forensics officers quickly moved in and took over. They were soon joined by flashes from reporters' cameras. Bullet wounds were visible in most parts of their bodies, particularly below their knees. For about an hour, uniformed and media personnel continued in and out of the morgue area, observing and taking photographs of the corpses. When all the excitement finally subsided and the hospital gates opened, members of the public who had gathered outside moved in. However, control was again reinforced when police told people that the hospital grounds belonged to the sick. Kapris and Walimini were inside the morgue and there was nothing more to see that Monday night. According to police, more than 30 Royal PNG Constabulary personnel were used in the operation to recapture Kapris, who was known in PNG for a series of robberies at Bank South Pacific branches. Kapris and Walimini escaped Port Moresby's Bomana prison on May 14 after walking out the front gate. In 2010, the country's most wanted serial bank robber escaped from custody in a Toyota truck after taking a warder hostage. He was aided that time by a woman who, posing as a lawyer, pulled a gun on guards. He was rearrested a short time later, along with several jail staff who allegedly assisted his escape. It was not the first time Kapris had escaped PNG's justice system. Before being captured in 2008, he had been on the run for eight years after escaping police detention while convalescing at Port Moresby General Hospital.

I feel like I've never had a home. You know? I feel related to the country, to this country, and yet I don't know exactly where I fit in. And the same thing applies to the theater. I don't know exactly how well I fit into the scheme of things. Maybe that's good, you know, that I'm not in a niche. But there's always this kind of nostalgia for a place, a place where you can reckon with yourself. Now I've found that what's most valuable about that place is not the place itself but the other people; that through other people you can find a recognition of each other. I think that's where the real home is. SAM SHEPARD, Don Shewey's Sam Shepard EMAIL: email@example.com for more information.

The facelifted version of the Jaguar XJ is currently in development as the model should make its official debut by the end of this year.
The flagship sedan currently created by JLR, the XJ, is getting ready to receive a facelift, which should be enough to keep on attracting new customers to it until the new generation of the model will be introduced, over the next few years. The current XJ has been introduced back in 2009 and so this facelift is a well deserved mouth of fresh air which should keep on attracting customers onto it.
The vehicle pictured below has been seen on the famous Nordschleife and we can say that it will be a minor facelift judging by its camouflaged front fascia and rear end. The 2015 Jaguar XJ will be getting some new front and rear bumpers, full LED beams, a new front grille, new light graphics at the front and the rear lights and some other tweaks. The cabin of the model will probably get some minor tweaks too. The engine options will be carried over from the current version and they will be extended by the Plug-In Hybrid version. The updated Jaguar XJ might be officially unveiled this October, during the 2014 Paris Motor Show.

Buying a replacement PC can be a challenging proposition for the typical business user. It's not so much selecting the hardware, but how to get the old software and data transferred onto the new system. Fortunately, system builders can come to the rescue by bundling in software that moves applications and data from old systems to new systems.
One such example is PCmover from Laplink Software. The latest version offers full support for Windows Vista. The product effectively can move applications and associated data from previous versions of Windows over to Windows Vista. System builders will find that the product supports transfers from Windows versions as old as Windows 95 to Vista's predecessor, Windows XP.
What's more, it allows for migrations to and from a Macintosh running Parallels Virtualization Software or Apple's Boot Camp. That capability allows system builders to move customers off Mac systems and onto Vista PCs.
Of special interest to system builders is the fact that Intel has partnered with Laplink to make PCmover available at a discount to white-box builders. That arrangement offers system builders a much more attractive price on the product than the MSRP of $60 and makes it affordable to bundle with a new PC.
PCmover can use a network connection or a USB cable to transfer information across PCs. In short, it works by installing the application on both the old and new PC. The user then launches the application to establish a connection between the two systems. PCmover creates a "snapshot" of both systems and then the user can choose what to migrate from the old system to the new system.
The product is licensed to the old PC and can only be used to transfer information from that PC, so users will need a copy for each PC to be upgraded.
PCmover could prove to be an incredible time saver for those deploying new systems and should help system builders sell upgrade PCs to customers that have spent hours customizing their existing PCs.

Rick Perry vs. Mitt Romney: hot or steady?
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, September 21, 2011
Many Americans are still picking through the wreckage of overturned mortgages and lost jobs, trying to rescue old pictures of their middle-class aspirations. But another economic tropical storm is now being tracked.
It is probable that the Greek government will default by the end of the year, perhaps followed by Portugal, Spain and Italy. The shock to international markets would further undermine the economic confidence needed for a healthy American recovery.
Few believe that President Obama would be able to rally the world during a eurozone crisis, especially because he is increasingly irrelevant to the politics of his own country.

His American Jobs Act - combining minimal ambition and minimal creativity - was greeted with bipartisan skepticism. Obama has repeatedly demanded that Congress "act now." In response, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has effectively told the president to get in line for the Senate's "next work period" in October.
In this atmosphere of mounting challenge and diminished leadership, economists have lowered their predictions of future economic growth and now see a 1-in-3 chance that America slips back into recession during the next 12 months.
With the arrival of a second economic crisis, America would enter a new phase. Our politics would pass beyond Tea Party anger toward a more generalized economic fear - the fear of durable stagnation and national decline. And this raises a large political question: Would an economic crisis favor a revolutionary candidate or a reassuring candidate?
In Rick Perry and Mitt Romney, we have undiluted representatives of each type. Perry is purposely provocative in style and content. He questions the legitimacy of 70 years of federal entitlement commitments. He proposes a fundamental reordering of the relationship between the federal government and the states. Perry's specific economic policies remain defiantly unspecific, but his rhetoric and intentions are ideologically ambitious.
Romney is running at Perry from the reassuring center. Both are harshly critical of Obama's economic policies. But unlike Perry, Romney refuses to hurl the accusation of "socialism."
Romney argues that an overbroad condemnation of Social Security would leave Republicans "obliterated as a party." His own 59-point economic plan contains a "number of options" for incremental entitlement reform - an approach the Wall Street Journal has criticized as "timid and tactical."
But Romney's timidness on some issues is his main tactic against Perry. With the economy suffering a series of complex maladies, who wants a surgeon who only performs amputations?
The outcome of a presidential primary can't be predicted by a single theory. A well-run campaign, or a poorly timed gaffe, can make all the difference. Republicans may insist on a choice beyond category A, the combative tradition of Barry Goldwater, and category B, the business-oriented blandness of Thomas Dewey.
But if this is the choice during a period of national stress, the advantage goes to the reassuring. Within the Republican Party, primary voters have a history of preferring less ideologically vivid, more electable candidates. Iowa caucus-goers - disproportionately religious and conservative since the late 1980s - do their best to change this habit. But they seldom pick the eventual winner in contested races. The party faithful may flirt with Phil Gramm or Pat Buchanan, but they typically end up at the altar with George H.W. Bush or Bob Dole. Perry is a perfect candidate for a time of Tea Party anger - say, around 2010. But Romney has a better case in a time of economic fear - like the one we may be entering - when competence becomes a desperate political demand. In this case, Republicans may choose, once again, not the purist they love, but the old hand they trust.

There are some pieces of advice you just never forget. Here are some of the wise words that have echoed across my career time and time again…
1. Say yes to the job, not the job description. This is a close cousin to "hire the person, not the CV". Job descriptions don't tell you about the personality, culture and history of an organisation – these things are more likely to become apparent during the hiring process. Given how significantly these factors impact our ability to be successful, don't accept a job unless you're comfortable with the environment you're entering and what comes with it.
2. Be different. It's harder to get noticed in a crowded space, so make your name doing something (or a combination of things) that others aren't already doing.
3. Under-promise and over-deliver. Surprise your colleagues and leaders by always giving more than they expected.
4. Try, and then try again. If you're passionate about something, don't give up. When someone tells you "you can't do that", ask them "why not?" and keep going until you prove them wrong.
5. A seat at the table doesn't equal a voice at the table. Always have an informed opinion and speak up if you plan on making an impression.

September 11, 1995
LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Prosecutors will be allowed to show the O.J. Simpson jury some photographs and videotapes in which it claims Simpson is wearing gloves similar to the ones found by his ex-wife's body and at his house.
Judge Lance Ito said he is allowing the photos because some of them were not available to the prosecution before it rested its case, nor was a report by its glove expert that could be used to interpret the evidence.
In a hearing outside the jury's presence, defense attorney Robert Blasier accused the prosecution of withholding the evidence in an effort to "sandbag" the defense for dramatic effect at the end of the trial. He said the defense had avoided presenting any evidence during its part of the trial that might have opened the door to the photographs, and said that if the prosecution wanted to show such items it should have done so during its main presentation.
Prosecutor Marcia Clark successfully argued they didn't get many of the photographs of Simpson wearing the gloves while broadcasting at football games until after prosecutors had rested their case. She said other photos that been received but had not been checked out.
The jury already has heard evidence that Nicole Brown Simpson bought a pair of the unique gloves like the ones found at the murder scene and Simpson's house.

A Marist poll out today put the New York City Mayor's race at a dead heat between Chris Quinn and Bill de Blasio at 24%. Former Comptroller Bill Thompson was at 18%. That's different than the Quinnipiac Poll from Tuesday which put de Blasio in the lead at 30% with Quinn 6 points and Thompson 8 points back. But I think the upshot is clear: the Q poll was no fluke. From looking to be all but out of the running several weeks ago, he's consistently gained ground over recent weeks and now likely holds at least a small lead in what is shaping up as a three way race.
Also, notable, Christine Quinn, who was started off as the almost prohibitive frontrunner in the race, looks to be in some trouble. She might well still come in first in the primary. But if you don't get 40% of the vote, which seems highly unlikely for any contender at this point, you go to a run off. And the polls have consistently shown her losing to either Thompson or de Blasio in a hypothetical run off.

STORMTRACK 3: Hurricane Hunter aircraft investigates system, not a Tropical Depression yet
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The Hurricane Hunter aircraft investigated a weak disturbance off the Florida coast this afternoon. The concentration/organization of thunderstorm activity is not yet sufficient to officially classify the system as a tropical depression. So far, a combination of wind shear and dry air has kept the system very weak. However, proximity to the Gulf Stream waters could allow the system to become a tropical depression or tropical storm by mid-week.
The system will remain near Florida through mid-week, but an approaching cold front will eventually turn the system toward the northeast- and out to sea. The big question is how close to the North Carolina coast will the system track as it pulls away from the United States. Some models have the system brushing the North Carolina coast late Thursday or Friday. Other models keep most of the active weather offshore. In any case, an approaching cold front may join with the system to increase our chance of showers/thunderstorms on July 4th. The system will exit our area early Saturday, leaving us with typical summertime weather for most of the weekend.

I made the italian bread in the Joy for Baking Book
and it was AWESOME.. I made it into rolls instead of a loaf.. I got 21 small rolls..very good,, loved dipping into olive oil with it..I had to freeze them so I would not keep eating it.. Next time I think I will shape into a long loaf like italian bread and bake on cookie and then slice.. the rolls held there shape so I think the bread would too. I cant wait to try another.. my rolls were 1.6 net carbs each..
I'm glad it turned out good.
I haven't heard of that cookbook, only the Joy of Baking.
Can you tell me where to find it in case I want to purchase it?
Its called the joy of baking gluten and sugar free cookbook , I got mine from amazon
OOOOOOOOOOO Really..... I think I'll look for it.
Thanks. I'm heading to amazon right now. I've been looking for a good bread recipe forever. You have inspired me to keep trying. :)
Recipe please??? Thanks!
Your making my mouth water just thinking of rolls and dipping oil. lol I'm a newbie, I tried Atkins back when first came out, but fell off wagon. It will probably be quite awhile before I can start adding breads back in but that sounds so interesting being at 1.6 carbs! I had heard of a CarbQuik. Sounded like people liked it. Have you tried it and if so did you like it? Hmmm wonder if when going out to eat if we could sneak in some low carb rolls for dipping. lol They always talk about the little ole ladies sneaking out rolls, this would be reverse. lol
I found it Thanks Brenda.
Hi Brenda and all
I went to Amazon, found the book and looked through the insides
as much as possible. It is interesting. Do you honestly think that
it gives information that we don't already know or practice?
There are lots of great cooks here on board. I noticed that there
were no nutritional counts on anything. Did I miss something?
Brenda did your rolls contain yeast? I know lots of us miss that
taste. I noticed that they had recipes for pretzels. That would
be fabulous.
Enjoy the book all who have it. Let us know what you think.
There were a few recipes in the book that included yeast..
It uses alot of the ingredients that we all use now and that is what I liked about it.
I am not one to come up with recipes on my own so this book is great for me.. and plugging the ingredients into a recipe calculator was easy..
I am going to try one of the pizza crusts soon and a foccassia
I just got this book out of the library--had put in a hold request and am the first one to get it! thanks for the tip about the Italian bread--I'm overwhelmed by all the great looking recipes and didn't know which one to try first!
Who is the author?
Is this a low carb cook book or are you converting the ingredients into low carb? Thanks!
It's a low carb cookbook Bella. Interesting when I looked inside like Barbo said.
I think I'll get from the library first .
I love all the cooks here.
My hesitation to try the recipes stems from the fact that they rely so heavily on nut and seed flours. While I love using almond, pecan, sesame, hazelnut, etc. for flour, if I don't use some coconut flour or whey protein, or other ingredients that are lower in calories, the results are very heavy and oily. I'll try some that use a little coconut flour along with the almond flour and see how they come out. I actually love the way we here on this board balance our flour combos, like Jennifer Eloff does in her bake mix.
The Joy of Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free Baking: 80 Low-Carb Recipes that Offer Solutions for Celiac Disease, Diabetes, and Weight Loss
Peter Reinhardt was "the man" in the bread world. He's written quite a few fantastic books.
Can you tell me, are most of the recipes relying on almond flour as the primary ingredient? Cuz if so, then I'll skip it. We already have fantastic bakers who primarily use almond flour in their flour mixes, etc.
I didn't think the bread with all nut flours came out oily at all. It really was good. My hubby had a roll and really liked it to and eats all regular breads.
I don't like to use all nut "flours" either. I have had success subbing Jennifers baking mix for everything except bread that uses almond flour. I use Kevinpa's bread flour mix for all yeast doughs.
If I want a more crumbly, coarse texture, I will use 1/2 almond flour and 1/2 Jennifer's bake mix.
Many thanks to both Jennifer and Kevin for all of the time and effort they put into creating these.
RIP Kevin.
My Cookbook Arrived!
My cookbook arrived yesterday and am enjoying it immensely! :) It also has photos--not every recipe but more than some cookbooks.
So far I have not had a chance to bake anything. The primary difference compared to our recipes is the use of two or more nut flours/meals in each recipe; i.e., 3 cups almond flour and 1 cup pecan meal, etc.
I learned one important fact about erythritol though. The authors did not use it because it has a low melting point, therefore, when used in cookies, scones, etc., the results will be flatter than traditional recipes. I never knew that! From now on, I will use a different sweetener in my scones. :) This explains why some folks have had such flat scone results and others have not. The recipes use Splenda as a sweetener or Stevia in the Raw.
Thanks so much for this, my copy is on the way! Looking forward to some new recipes!
I just had an egg and sausage sandwich on one of the Italian rolls. Yum!!
Is it the herb Italian bread recipe? I need to try it!!
Yes, but I made it into buns instead of baking as a loaf. I really like them. I keep in the freezer and pull one out when a sandwich urge hits.

How toilsome was the Oilers' 10-game, seven-day road trip to Fairbanks, which ended on Wednesday?
Peninsula Oilers shortstop Tyler Grimes was fielding questions after the Oilers' 4-3 victory over the Bucs on Friday night at Coral Seymour Memorial Park in Kenai.
The game had been played in temperatures in the low 50s and intermittent showers. In the seventh inning, Grimes had slipped coming around third and was thrown out at home.
In the fourth inning, the graveyard that is center field at Seymour Park robbed Grimes of extra bases and even possibly a home run when he -- in his words -- got all of a ball only to have Bucs center fielder Bret Atwood haul in the blast doing a passable impression of Willie Mays in the 1954 World Series.
It was one of four balls the Oilers hit on Friday that Oilers assistant Dan Lemon said would have been home runs in Fairbanks.
Despite the cold, rain and outfield walls harder to clear than Gulf Coast beaches, Grimes made it clear he did not leave his heart in the Golden Heart City. Fairbanks has an average high temperature of 73 in July, compared to 62 for Kenai.
"It's good to be back home and not in Fairbanks," said Grimes, who was 1-for-2 with two runs and an RBI. "That trip took a lot out of us -- playing so many games in so many days.
"A lot of us aren't used to no air conditioning and having to sleep with the windows open."
Oilers coach Dennis Machado said the dorms in Fairbanks are nice, but with windows on just one side, breezes are hard to come by -- at least for those who aren't crafty veterans of such trips. Machado said he locked up a corner room, where windows in two walls gave him at least some breezy respite.
After the victory Friday, the Oilers were 17-11 in the Alaska Baseball League -- 4-6 in Fairbanks and 13-5 everywhere else.
In order to start the three-game set against the Bucs and the five-game homestand off on the right foot, the Oilers had to withstand a little drama in the top of the ninth.
Peninsula brought in closer Jorge Marban, who had walked just three in 15 1-3 innings, to preserve a 4-2 lead. Marban said he struggled to find his release point and promptly walked Eddie Rohan. Su Wei-Ta, the only player on either team to collect two hits, then doubled to put the tying run on second with no outs.
Next up was Chris Serritella, who had defied physics in managing to clout a ball through the cold, rainy air for a home run to right field in the fourth. Serritella worked a full count on Marban, but Marban struck him out with a fastball.
"I knew I needed a fly ball on the infield or a strikeout," Marban said. "The last thing I wanted was the bases loaded with no outs."
Next, the Peninsula defense came to the fore. Zach Vincej grounded to the hole at short. Grimes fielded and made the risky look routine by throwing to third baseman Garrett Wittels, who tagged Wei-Ta for the second out as Rohan scored for a 4-3 game.
"Grimes made a true baseball player's play," Machado said. "The ball took him that way and Garrett was on the other end."
Marban said having a runner on first, as opposed to on third, was a relief because now a wild pitch or passed ball would not mean a tie game. With that peace of mind, he struck out Dominic Piazza to end the game.
"Our defense is good," Marban said. "As a pitcher, it's always good to know that your defense will back you up."
Wittels led the defensive effort with four assists and four putouts, including a short-hop lasso of a screamer off the bat of Sullivan to end the Bucs' half of the eighth.
The Bucs went on top in the first off of Oilers starter Cody Kendall, who would go on to improve his record to 3-1. Anchorage smacked three of its seven hits in the first, including a Wei-Ta single that scored Sullivan.
The Oilers came right back in the bottom of the first off of Bucs starter and loser Mark Joukoff. Grimes led off with a single and moved to third on a stolen base and an error. Ryan Gebhart then walked.
"He swings the bat well for us, so it's good to start off with him," Machado said of Grimes, who was hitting .315 coming into Friday's game. "Then Gebhart is an on-base machine, so it seems like our three, four and five hitters always have guys on base."
Wittels put the ball in play on a hit and run to score Grimes and move Gebhart to second. Stephen Piscotty then singled to put the Oilers up 2-1.
Meanwhile, Kendall would settle in and allow two runs on five hits in five innings.
"It's nice when the starter is able to take control of the game and give the offense a chance to get back in the game," Machado said.
An infield single by Wittels that scored Justin Charles put the Oilers up 3-1 in the second, but Serritella cut the advantage in half with his visit to North Tinker Lane in the fourth. The Oilers got that run right back in the bottom of the inning when Kyle Leon led off with a double and eventually scored on Grimes' deep drive to center.
Taylor Garrison pitched two scoreless innings and Josh Corrales pitched one to set up Marban.
"We have some very talented guys out there who can come in and make things tough for the other team," Machado said of his bullpen.
