I don't like to make resolutions because I feel like it simply sets me up to feel like a failure when I don't achieve the success I thought for a fleeting moment that I might. Lose weight? Yeah sure, that's a great goal, but it's not something I can bang my head over because honestly if I wanted to seriously commit to that, I would, no matter what time of the year it is. I could resolve to give up certain foods, but then I would crave them the minute the statement was out of my mouth. I'm pretty sure that would help me GAIN weight.
So as we wander into a new year, I plan to try to focus on certain things, but not commit to 100% success because we all know that is an invitation to feel inadequate. Here goes:
- Maintain last year's momentum of building myself into a more out-going and happier person. Last year was wonderful for me with lots of new friendships made and a much busier calendar for everyone in our family. It was hard sometimes, but wonderful for my soul.
- Kick PPD's butt once and for all. I have been stumped by the control PPD has had over me this time around. While it was severe before I became aware of it with Braeden, it has been persistent this time and I'm hopeful that in 2013 I can say goodbye for good!
- Gain control over the out-of-control feeling that is floating around me all the time. This includes getting a better handle on my house, our schedule and the consistency used when dealing with the kids. My guess is that this one will be the one out the window first..
- SLEEP MORE. Please Lord, let me get this one right! I know I need more sleep but I have a terrible time getting myself to go to bed before 11:00 because I like the time while the kids are asleep to breathe and not be climbed on for a while. I've been trying to get to bed by 10:30 each night and I can already feel a difference in my energy in the morning.
Here we go 2013. Let's see what you've got!

If you're like me, you probably haven't been able to stop thinking about the Charleston shootings. One thing I've been giving a lot of thought to is how we should address it in class. I have assigned some reading on press freedom in the era of Facebook and Google. It's an important topic, so please go ahead and do it.
But I also want to spend a significant amount of time on Monday talking about Charleston. I think the best way to do it is for you to identify one piece of journalism about some aspect of the shootings that you think is worth sharing with everyone. It can be a news article, an online commentary, a television report — whatever. And the topic can be on anything from how the shootings were covered to the politics of the Confederate flag.
Please send me an email with a link to the story you've chosen by Monday at 10 a.m. I will put all of them together into a blog post, which will in turn lead to a class discussion.

A Windsor couple is suspected of growing marijuana for sale at homes they owned in Windsor and Calistoga. The Napa Special Investigations Bureau was investigating allegations since January that Michael Breeden, 41, and Victoria Breeden, 43, were growing marijuana for sale at a home in the 1600 block of Foothill Boulevard in Calistoga, Lt. Gary Pitkin said. NSIB agents also believed the couple was growing marijuana for sale at their primary residence in the 8100 block of Louisa Way and in a house in the 200 block of Merner Drive, both in Windsor, Pitkin said.
Agents served search warrants at all three homes on Jan. 31. They found 58 marijuana plants, 26 pounds of processed marijuana, $2,800, ammunition and evidence of drug sales at the Louisa Way residence, Pitkin said. The investigation determined Michael Breeden worked at a Sonoma County marijuana storefront as a marijuana grower, but the marijuana at the Louisa Way home was for sale and profit and not intended for the storefront, Pitkin said. Breeden was released from custody pending the outcome of the investigation.
Agents found 370 marijuana plants, $4,900, and an elaborate indoor growing operation in the house on Foothill Boulevard in Calistoga, Pitkin said. The agents contacted and interviewed Francisco Zavala, 42, and Victor Montanez, 34, who were living in the Calistoga home, but released the men pending further investigation, Pitkin said. At the Merner Drive home in Windsor, agents found a small, indoor marijuana growing operation, but determined the marijuana was for personal use and the agents did not seize any evidence, Pitkin said.
The Napa County District Attorney's Office charged the Breedens, Zavala and Montanez with cultivation of marijuana and possession of marijuana for sale, and Breeden also was charged with being an ex-felon in possession of ammunition, Pitkin said. The agents arrested the Breedens in Windsor on March 21 and they were booked in the Sonoma County jail, Pitkin said. Agents learned Zavala and Montanez moved out of the Calistoga house and both are wanted on $50,000 arrest warrants, Pitkin said.

Hello AA+.
It's nice being ahead of the curve. On July 26, The Hedged Economist posted "The US Will Lose It's AAA Rating." Since then, the wait for it to happen allowed time to write four other postings that discussed the topic. So, while others are busy figuring out, or writing about, why it happened and what it means, this blog can focus on more constructive things. But, before leaving it, some explanation is warranted.
Back on April 1, 2010 this blog warned "Beware the risk-free return." A lot of people are going to be throwing around a lot of money as they adjust to the realization discussed in that posting. The steps they have been taking, the impact of those steps on markets, and the risks that creates were discussed in the postings since July 26. For an excellent example of how risk-free return has been incorporated into financial thinking, see "S&P Downgrades U.S. and Dulls Sharpe Ratio" by Richard Shaw on SEEKING ALPHA. It may seem cavalier to dismiss the downgrade simply because it's just recognition of a reality that always existed. That would be a mistaken impression. It's a serious concern, but it has already been discussed.
The downgrade will have a negative impact on all of us, and it will touch off totally unpredictable consequences. Yet, to date, market responses have been exactly what one would expect when adjusting to a previously unrecognized risk. The big question is, have enough people adjusted their liquidity to levels where they can weather what will follow to prevent the adjustments from snowballing? Otherwise the liquidity phase and then counterparty-risk phase of the meltdown of 2008 will be repeated.
As this is being written over the weekend of the downgrade, the only comment The Hedged Economist has is that in "Investing Part 3: Setting the Volume" (posted on December 19, 2010) this blog provided some relevant advice for individual investors. It thus explains how some individual investors have positioned themselves to be sanguine about recent and near-term market behavior.
How we made financial markets more vulnerable to risks associated with the adjustment we are undergoing were discussed in "Liquidity Is Dangerous" (posted on May 23, 2010) and "Fictitious Liquidity" (posted May 28, 2010). But, nothing created more risk than the persistent belief that a risk-free return was a viable assumption.
The more important issue is how to get the economy growing at an acceptable rate. If the US, the government, and the population in general, display some modicum of responsible financial management, it will help. With that as introduction the question now should be how do we get triple-A back. After all, the world isn't going to end just because the US government has demonstrated financial mismanagement. The US can continue the blame game or face reality. We all know the blame game is fun, but perhaps it's time to start acting like responsible adults when it comes to public finance. That raises the issue of what can be done.
First on The Hedged Economist's list of what has to be done is to get rid of politicians who say give me more money or I'll default on what was lent to the government in the past. Trying to hold previous lenders and the economy hostage as a way to negotiate for tax increases is wrong. That's not a statement on taxes: it's a statement on financial management. If taxes are justified, make the case based on a real justification. A good financial manager would reassure lenders first. Then he or she would turn to methods of generating the cash needed to pay them. In short, we need leaders who say our credit is good, not one who puts politics first.
Right behind that comes getting rid of financial managers who say borrowing is the only way to meet our current obligations. It may be the best way, but it is never the only way unless the financial situation is already in the proverbial debt death spiral. As a country with control of its currency and its exchange rate as well as many national assets, the US is far from that. Further, as argued above, taxes are an alternative to borrowing. So, anyone who would say or believe more borrowing is the only solution should be given a job more commensurate with their capabilities.
For sure get rid of a financial management team that combines the two missteps above. Getting a triple-A rating back while the current financial management team is in place would only indicate that someone in the government got to someone at S&P. Because of that, it probably won't be taken too seriously by financial markets.
Now, this isn't a partisan issue. Those in Congress who advocate a default are dangerously close to the often quoted example of yelling fire in a crowded theater. Advocating no taxes is not the same as advocating no debt payments. The first relates to cash flow management. The second relates to the balance sheet. What's particularly odd about combining the two is that "no more taxes" is often defended by drawing a parallel between taxes and confiscation. How this is combined with an explicit call for confiscating wealth held in Treasuries escapes this observer.
Ultimately, the triple-A rating should be based on a widespread belief that one should take paying back debts seriously. Politics isn't the only place where American's fail to project that image. We are a compassionate people, but our efforts to be compassionate often come off as a collective view that paying debts is optional, only to be done if convenient. Well, deleveraging is never fun, yet many American's are doing it. It isn't convenient.
Decent financial management isn't a partisan issue. If it were, it would seem members of one party or the other should be indifferent to their personal credit scores developed by the consumer credit bureaus. Unfortunately, we collectively, through our politicians in both parties, have displayed just such indifference. Yet, no one in either party should overlook the fact that only one party manages the national government at any time. They're called the executive.
The debt rating is a small part of what is needed to restore growth. Numerous bipartisan and partisan recommendations are floating around. The initial concept for this posting was to focus on one proposal. As a good economist, The Hedged Economist planned to address opportunity costs, but to avoid a broad discussion that invited philosophic debates. To do that, the plan was to restrict the options that could be discussed. The planned approach was to take a Democratic proposal, essentially concede the conceptual desirability of the proposal, and restrict the discussion to method.
In preparation, the following information was circulated to a few economist and others who have commented on this blog.
The quotes are from "White House Renews Push to Extend Payroll-Tax Cut." WALL STREET JOURNAL (August 6, 2011)
"The payroll-tax holiday for employees was enacted in December and expires at the end of this year. By lowering Social Security payroll taxes paid by employees to 4.2% of earnings from 6.2%, it saved taxpayers as much as $2,136 each this year…The break did not extend to the 6.2% payroll tax paid by employers."
"Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner thinks the Democrats have a winning argument, and expressed confidence Republicans would not stand in the way of extending the tax break for workers…'I think it's very hard for them to stand up and say that they're going to try to block the extension of that tax cut that's worth about $1,000 a year for the average American family,' Mr. Geithner told ABC News."
The quotes were accompanied by a question: "Does it seem to you that they'd get more job creation if the cut were on the employer side?" To the economists, I added an acknowledgement that theoretically they are both reductions in labor costs, the intent being to avoid their having to address that issue. Well, this little experiment was a total flop in terms of its original intent. Nevertheless, it was extremely informative.
Two things stood out. The people who responded almost universally indicated a belief that this policy had no (to no measureable) impact on jobs or growth. The strongest Democratic backer endorsed it as income redistribution, but criticized the deficit impact and lack of economic impact. The strongest Republican criticized the political posturing embodied in the current structure of the tax break and its lack of impact on the economy. Economist's focus on aggregate demand or capital formation depending on their orientation, but they viewed this particular issue as a sideshow. But, there was an almost unanimous lack of belief in the effectiveness of the measure as stimulus.
Second, an overwhelming majority of respondents, couldn't, or wouldn't, separate this issue from broader policy issues. Those broader issues drew them away from addressing opportunity costs within the confines of the structure of this policy initiative. One might expect that to have related to the deficit and debt issues given the downgrade, but that wasn't the case. Deficits and debt were mentioned by some respondents, but generally the focus was elsewhere. Perhaps opportunity costs outside the confines of this issue just overwhelm this issue.
The Hedged Economist's conclusion is that structured the way it is, this policy seems more like a vote buying program than an employment stimulus. What scares me is our Secretary of Treasury thinks that's a win. It may be a winner on a popularity poll, but I'm not so sure it's a win for Treasury, the unemployed, or the economy. Any small difference in effectiveness would mean fairly significant differences in new taxes paid, some greater reduction in unemployment, and more demand.
All that may seem interesting, but hardly worth noting except that opportunity costs are an important issue. My discussion of "the stimulus" focused specifically on the shortcomings of previous analysis of "the stimulus." They set up a fictitious counter factual in order to avoid the difficult issue of addressing the true opportunity costs. (See: postings throughout September 2010 starting with "Stimulus more or less? A failure not being acknowledged. PART 1").
Where does this lead? While good, responsible financial management is easy to identify, economic policy questions like the right level for the deficit or taxes are much harder to discuss without appearing partisan. Even separating out one small policy issue seems almost impossible. That in itself doesn't bode well for developing an effective growth strategy. But, if we politicize our judgments about what is good financial management, continuous crisis is inevitable.

I was out of town last week with my mom in Roundtop. If you don't know about Roundtop, don't feel bad, I didn't either, though I don't know that I'm the compass anyone should be relying on. Roundtop is this huge artisan, crafter, furniture, antiques, junk sales extravaganza that stretches through several small towns in Texas twice a year. There is everything under the sun that you could possibly want or need! I'll tell you about the trip and share some photos on Thursday. Today I want to share a bit of disappointment in myself.

Uncommon Goods was having an art contest that ended last night. I heard about it through the Jealous Curator's blog. Uncommon Goods, if you don't know, is a fun catalog that specializes in the unique and items created by a variety of artists, so it's right up my alley. Seriously, today their website has been taken over by cats! How great are these guys?

I ended up sending in the digital drawings that I did for the logos of my landscape business and my art and photography. I had planned on sending them in along with the other pieces, so at least I was able to send in something and now I can share the other pieces with you. I'm thinking that I'll use the pieces that I made for the Uncommon Goods contest and work them into a bigger piece for the McKinney Art Guild competition due later this month. I'm working of turning my lemon of a Sunday into lemonade. It's still a little bitter, but hopefully it will get sweeter as the week goes on.

A comparison of adaptive designs in clinical trials : when multiple treatments are tested in multiple stages
MetadataShow full item record
In recent times, there has been an increasing interest in adaptive designs for clinical trials. As opposed to conventional designs, adaptive designs allow flexible design adaptation in the middle of a trial based on accumulated data. Although various models have been developed using both frequentist and Bayesian perspectives, relative statistical performances of adaptive designs are somewhat controversial and little is known about those of Bayesian adaptive designs. Most comparison studies also focused on single experimental treatment rather than multiple experimental treatments. In this report, both frequentist and Baysian adaptive designs were compared in terms of statistical power by a simulation study, assuming the situation when multiple experimental treatments are tested in multiple stages. The designs included in the current study are group sequential design (frequentist), adaptive design based on combination tests (frequentist), and Bayesian adaptive design (Bayesian). Based upon the results under multiple scenarios, the Bayesian adaptive design showed the highest power, and the design based on combination tests performed better than group sequential designs when proper interim adaptation could be conducted to increase power.

Kitchen Remodels
Your kitchen is often the center of activity. It's more than a place to prepare food – it's used for unwinding, entertaining, storing gadgets and eating meals with loved ones. It's a place that provides refuge and relief – it's your oasis. So it's important to have it the way that you want it. The design of your kitchen needs to flex with these needs.
When it comes to your home and your life, you don't settle for anything but the very best. You want everything to be complete, easy and worry-free. That's what a true kitchen makeover should be.

No two clients are alike. We can help you craft the vision so that you know you'll love that finished space.
We specialize in designing and crafting homes and can assure each residential project will result in comfortably useable space for all family members throughout their lifespan, regardless of their current age or physical abilities. In addition, we are well-versed on zoning laws and building codes to make certain every project will be completed without a hitch.
3D Design
Traditionally, most architects and remodeling companies work with two dimensional designs. Although this may be easy for a builder and an architect to decipher, it is not very client friendly. 3D design allows us to clearly show clients what their projects will look like in their finished state. It also allows the clients to see the space with the different materials, finishes, and elements that they have chosen. The 3D design can also be rotated, so clients can see the space from different views and perspectives.
Our 3D Designs have been very effective in helping clients save time and money by showing them exactly what they are getting before the start of a project. It gives us the ability to analyze and measure each component individually; we can also test the stress factors and tolerances of a project before we build. This allows us to keep the projects within the investment range, and also helps the clients make decisions before the start of the projects. The end result is an elegant space, personalized just for you. Because you deserve it.
I greatly appreciate the Accounts Payable process and your team getting back to me with the update we needed. We appreciate great customer service and attention to detail and you have expressed that to us with your follow-up.
It's been over a year and we still think every day about the remarkable transformation brought by the kitchen remodel you designed and carried out for us which opened up several small, dark rooms to bring a bright, spacious, elegant feel to our now modern, practical, hard working kitchen and also remained wonderfully true to the style of our 1920's home.
Your company has defied all propaganda about the horrors of renovations. We are beyond grateful.
Gordon Reese and Jeff Rexford were responsive to client concerns which arose during the construction process and managed those concerns and any others that arose throughout the construction process.
Just a brief note to let you know we could not be happier. The team you have assembled, headed by Jeff and Ryan, could not be more professional, caring, or masterful in their attention to detail.
We appreciate your high quality customer service and attention to detail. Thank you!
Jeff has a great understanding of quality in design through craftsmanship. And through the design process he has respect for the client's home, and keeps their needs in mind. You couldn't be in better hands!
The overall outcome was beautiful, it was what we expected if not more.
The communication software Gordon uses was fantastic in dealing with scheduling, pricing, and communication. I could get a question answered in a very timely manner and Gordon could keep me updated instantly.
We hired Gordon Reese Design Build for our Kitchen remodel after a lengthy interview process with a number of construction companies. We were impressed with Gordon and his team, their understanding of what we wanted to do as well as clearly outlining the scope of the work based on our budget.

It's almost time for me to renew my membership & even thought trr is a bit more expensive on prints, i think I'm going with them this time b/c they rock!
sorry for the book
Soooo glad someone else has this issue!!! It drives me insane!!! The only time I order from RABOM is when TRR is out of the colors I need. Which sucks cuz I really do sit there and re-roll all the ribbon!!!

For those who love small streams, wild trout, and life...in their simplest form
Wednesday, March 26, 2014
I'm waiting, oh so patiently.

I can't wait to get out on the streams again, we don't have a closed season here in VA but schoolwork and regular work for that matter really cut into fishing time. I really hope to make it at least a monthly thing this summer.ReplyDeleteReplies

Live on Mel, better yet come here and fish a few.
You take some of the greatest pictures to "share" with the world, and reflect on yourself Alan. Those streams are so "New England" to me. Tumbling, rumbling, pitching, and sliding their way to larger waters and the atlantic beyond... But seeing the bright green of spring illuminating them... Ahhhhhh!ReplyDelete
Will I truly appreciate those thoughts.
March is a tough month. The TMA's get pounded hard, and on some days you can find a fisherman in every hole. March brings back memories of flounder fishing when I was little, but flounder fishing no longer exists.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have those memories of flounder in March. We would stop at Hillyers in Waterford pick up some sandworms or squid and head to Niantic bay and catch us some fine table fare.

Small wild trout are much more colorful and can be quite feisty in the small streams.

When Kim Kramer-Zamenski calls the police about suspected drug dealers hanging out in her Southeast Baltimore neighborhood, she expects them to make an arrest. If it's not for selling or possessing drugs, then a loitering charge is fine with her. "We want them gone," says the Baltimore Highland Community Association president. "The only way you're going to get rid of them is to continue to have them arrested and have them prosecuted."
That's a reasonable expectation for a community leader, but one that often conflicts with the crush of business in the criminal justice system. Consider this statistic: The office of Baltimore State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy declines to prosecute about a third of criminal cases brought by the police. The majority involve arrests for nuisance crimes such as loitering, public drinking and disorderly conduct. Prosecutors say police don't properly charge a defendant or the case lacks the legal grounds to win in court. This is not new; in fact, it has become a routine part of business -- and it needs to end.
In the absence of a ban on arrests for nuisance crimes, there has to be a better strategy to deal with these problems. Police officers have to be held accountable not only for the arrests they make but also for the outcome of their cases. Random audits of arrests would identify problems and underscore the importance of initial police work in conviction and clearance rates. Prosecutors must realize that citizens aren't going to stop calling police and asking them to clear corners and lock up people for these petty crimes.
Arresting an individual for any crime is a serious matter that carries consequences beyond arrest. But arrests that result in convictions can lead to the kinds of intelligence and criminal cases that will help clear a corner for more than a night or two.

What I found most useful is the section that shows "Recent Expensive Queries".

The Walking Dead season 2 finale Sunday night was awesome. Wow, what a finale. Now we have to wait until October for season 3 to start. Season 3 will have 16 episodes, 8 episodes and then a break and then the final 8 episodes. Don't read anymore if you haven't seen it yet as there are spoilers.
The show starts by showing how the herd of zombies comes together before they reach the farm. A chopper passes by, the walkers hear it and head in the direction of the noise. Robert Kirkman said that was the same chopper that Rick saw back in season 1, so this was a flashback. The herd merges with another herd as they walk across farm land. The herd walks through the forest and hears the gunshot and they turn in that direction. Daryl and Glenn return to the farm house and tell everyone that they found Randall as a walker. Rick and Carl see the walkers behind them heading towards them so they run to the barn and lock themselves in. Rick pours gasoline on the ground setting a trap. Rick gives Carl a lighter and he climbs up to safety as Rick unlocks the door letting the walkers in. After Rick climbs up, Carl drops the lighter and the walkers burn but it also sets the barn on fire.
Some of the others come out to try and take out as many walkers as they can and to try and lead them away from the house. Jimmy drives Dale's RV over to the barn to help Rick and Carl get out of there. Walkers break into the RV (did Jimmy not lock the door?) and kill Jimmy. Andrea shoots at walkers as T-Dog drives in one vehicle, while Glenn shoots at walkers while Maggie drives another vehicle. Daryl is also shooting walkers while on his motorcycle. Hersehl is shooting walkers from the front of his house. Rick and Carl get away from the barn and run away from walkers. Lori, Carol, Patricia and Beth try to escape but Patricia gets killed. Andrea saves Carol but T-Dog, Lori and Beth in the blue truck see a walker fall on top of Andrea thinking she got killed so they drive off. But Andrea is fine and Carol runs off in the forest. Glenn and Maggie get out of there. Rick saves Hershel as a walker was behind him. Rick, Carl and Hershel drive off as Andrea tries to wave down Rick from behind but they don't see her. She's left behind so she grabs the bag of guns and runs into the forest as walkers chase her. Daryl saves Carol from walkers chasing her.
They all reunite (except Andrea) at the highway where they left supplies for Sophia. They then drive off together leaving the blue truck behind. On a country road, the red truck runs out of the gas so Rick says they'll camp there for the night and they'll scavenge in the morning but the others aren't feeling that idea. Daryl brings up Randall, saying that he turned without a bite. Rick then tells everyone what Dr Jenner told him at the end of season 1, "We're all infected. At the CDC, Jenner told me. Whatever it is, we all carry it." The others are mad that Rick didn't tell them, but Rick says he had no way of knowing if it was true so he didn't say anything.
Rick walks away from the group and Lori follows him. Lori holds Rick, and he tells her that he killed Shane, he had no choice and that he wanted him dead. He tells Lori that Shane turned/re-animated and that's how he knew that Jenner was right, and that Carl put down walker Shane. Lori bends over in pain or horror or whatever and backs up when Rick tries to console her.
Andrea is exhausted as she's been running through the forest from walkers and killing some when she could. She runs out of ammo and a walker gets her down on the ground. Just when it looks like she will get bit, the walker is sliced by a katana sword by someone wearing a hood. This is the new character, Michonne. She is seen with two walkers chained to her, missing their arms and lower jaws.
The survivors with Rick build a camp fire and Carol and Maggie want to leave but Daryl and Hershel disagree.
Last part of the show shows a new Rick (source): A noise echoes in the distance. Still, Rick refuses to let anyone investigate. Carol urges Rick to take action and he snaps, saying he never asked to be put in charge. "I killed my best friend for you people," he snarls. The others stare at Rick in horror; Carl buries his head in Lori's shoulder, crying. "Maybe you people are better off without me," Rick continues, encouraging them to leave. "I say there's a place for us, but maybe it's another pipe dream." The others stare back in stunned silence. "No takers?" Rick asks. Then he issues a final warning: "If you're staying, this isn't a democracy any more."
The camera zooms out showing up the road is a big prison.
Video: Highlights Episode 213 The Walking Dead: Beside The Dying Fire, Season 2, Episode 13
This was a really good episode and I can't wait for season 3 in October.

From the dining to the entertainment it was all exceptional. Even though there was so much too do I was able to get
some relaxation in. The only reason I couldn't give it a five is because I kept getting lost on the boat, even with
maps. That normally wouldn't be a major factor but it was with me.

Weekend to Remember
On Friday I worked until late putting together a website for a born-again Christian massage therapist. She gave me a pocket New Testament and kept demonstrating different massage techniques on me. By the end of it all, I was honestly ready to join her at church that Sunday. My wife, a Yoga teacher is in Russia with our son for a few weeks. She knows this woman and doesn't really like her.
Saturday I rose late, after 7. My morning Yoga practice was strong and ultimately relaxing, as it is most mornings with several intense forward and backward bends (wheels). This was followed by a bowl of very nice and hearty Muesli – rolled oats, almonds, sunflower seeds, salted peanuts, coconut shavings, sliced bananas, kefir and warm organic milk. And honey of course. Just before midday, I took a longish walk in the nearby Pilis hills with my friends Steven and Fanny. Steven just returned from a month-long trip to the US where his new film MIX played at several festivals. It was the third feature film he's directed. I got on Steven's nerves a bit as I kept talking to him and maybe not with him. We were pretty baked. Later, after descending, we ate some food and drank beer and all was well.
Saturday night I went out with my friend Bob in his Lexus convertible to meet my friend Y and her Italian friend Laura. Bob was angry because he didn't find either girl pretty enough. Later he dropped us all off in the wrong place and then sent a text message asking me not to be mad at him, that I shouldn't have introduced him to such old bags anyway. The girls and I walked in the moonlight along the Danube, past some medieval architecture, took photos by a fountain, and went to a nearby beer garden. There, a drunk guy sat at our table and tried to make conversation. I drank a soda water. The girls shared a small beer and smoked cigarettes. Laura took a taxi home and Y and I shared a Taxi back to the house she's staying in, a gorgeous place owned by a filmmaker in a green and wooded neighborhood. I didn't notice it at the time, but it's across the street from the palatial home of Phil Collins, not the rockstar but the ALCOA executive who is also a senior guy in the Mormon Church where Lucia, Eldar (our son) and I often go.
At Y's place, we drank lemongrass tea, had a little sex, then slept, then woke up and had some more sex. Y cooked corn-on-the-cob, carrots and other veggies. I was fasting however, as I do each Sunday. Surprisingly, the fast actually improved my stamina. By midday we were downstairs among the overstuffed Turkish pillows on the daybed. Bob's ideas notwithstanding, I rather like Y. She's ten years younger than me, has a fine body and a great snatch. Sunday afternoon I stayed inside her for probably three hours. When we finally ended the session, we were both in heaven. "You satisfied me." She said with a tired smile. "Right now I couldn't have an argument with anybody."
When we left the house at half-past six, I was well into thinking about how to respond to this job offer that had come to me regarding a new business intelligence service I'm being asked to organize. It was then that I recognized the Collins' place, a regular red brick castle: tower, turrets and all. "Good thing they didn't see us," I told Y. I wasn't worried about Lucia. She has her fun with fellow Power Yogis, afterall. But if word spread among the Mormons about my behavior, a real moral crisis could break out. After parting with Y, I prayed for the well-being of Eldar and Lucia, that they come home healthy and happy on an agreeable date and that all will be fine with us. Amen.

That sounds suspiciously like a gun owner's platform. The institution of gun ownership isn't to blame, it's individual gun owner's who kill their children. And likewise, it isn't the screwed perceptions this society maintains of education in general that's to blame, IT'S THE FRIKKEN TEACHERS!
The solution is obvious: more guns in schools. Give students the right of concealed carry. Teachers would never know who was armed and grades would surely rise. Hell, just have a firefight at the end of semester. You live, you pass.

Relevance? Maybe none. It just occurred to me that there may be identifiable sources to some of the political arguments that get made. Republicans don't want to challenge gun ownership too much for whatever reason, and we know that's suspicious in some way, but did we know that when they use the same kind of argument in discussions of education then we can be suspicious of their motives in some similar way?
For example, maybe Repubs don't want to challenge gun ownership because really, deep down, they're immensely traditional and the American nation was founded on, among other things, gun ownership. They know that if anyone questions traditional rights, then the nation is lost. So, questioning the traditional right to education means probably you're some kind of Commie and if you're not working to make the nation great through education, then you are definitely some kind of subversive. And since that rot arrives from within, how can it not be the teachers that are to blame?

Or to put it another way: it's not that teachers are failing to work to the adequate standards set by the expectations of society; it's the ill-formed malignancy of society itself asking in ignorance for more and more.
Education is an industry? Take a look at any industry you like. NONE OF THEM FUNCTION ADEQUATELY. CAPITALISM IS AN AD HOC ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE AND BUSINESS IS A LIE!Bellison uncorked a flood of horrible profanity, which, translated, meant, "This is extremely unusual."
Boy meets Grr
There are other reasons it wouldn't make any sense to me too.
But with "ad hoc" I was naming the effect rather than the essence, and thereby starting down a path meant to undermine the supposed value of using business management philosophies in the organisation of the practice of education in modern life. Free market philosophies and industry development models are, it is presumed, sources of efficiency, and if we overlook the ragged history of all business and the real costs they end up imposing, then, indeed yes, efficiency arrives. But efficient what?
Competition between educational services does not create better educational services. It cannot possibly. You'd need the majority of the population of service consumers to be capable of consuming the better educational services. If they weren't, why would any other than a niche service provider aim for the high level? And there's your efficiency.
It'd work if the market weren't so bloated. It'd work if people just didn't send off for an educational package in the zombie-like aspirational mode of so many of the consumers. Or maybe it'd work if the industry were genuinely able to start making clearer promises on a connection between their package and your future life results. But how many people did ever get work related to their major?
There are just too many people.Bellison uncorked a flood of horrible profanity, which, translated, meant, "This is extremely unusual."
Boy meets Grr
More realistically, if you attempt totally free markets, they will be deregulated (or is it disorganized?) in a situation that still contains countless environmental inequalities and residual trends from whatever the previous system was which will interfere with the ability of markets to actually be free, independent, unfettered, competitive, whatever you want to call it.
Secondly, if you could some how create an environment of totally unfettered and fully competitive markets, it would be quite temporary. There would be winners and losers, and the winners would become king of the hill. They would amass power allowing them to manipulate the rules for all newcomers then on. The original round of winners will themselves be laying down the market regulations. In other words, markets are self-organizing in a way that does promote continued fair competition.
Now, I'm honestly not sure if that is 100% relevant to your point in the context of this thread, it's just that as soon as I see the same old crap about free markets, I have to interject.Go to sleep, iguana.

And you know, if the specter of privatizing education is going to rear its head here, let me make a point.
Right now, if someone has kids in school, they are in a school that receives money from everyone old enough to pay taxes, including those who don't have kids in school (or have kids in a private school), and the people who pay more into the tax system (generally richer people) are also paying more into the school system. If this were not the case, and schools functioned more like a typical private enterprise, then all the funding for a given school is going to come out of the pockets of whoever has kids attending it, presumably at a fixed fee. Do you know how much more expensive that would be than what you're paying in taxes to fund school? It gets worse though, because our current private schools would pretty much remain the same, which is to to say that they'd be enclaves of rich and upper-middle class people. Because they'd have the ability to shell out more cash for better quality they would, combined with the fact that rich almost always deliberately separate themselves from the poor. This means that the private schools left over for most people would be even less funded that my formulation at first suggests.
Like most privatization schemes, this will increase the quality of service for only a small, privileged group, and the plurality of the population will receive a decline in quality of service.
Even if I took it to be true that public schools were less efficient than private schools, I think that inefficiency is probably a worthy price in order to an education to millions of people might otherwise not even have it.
Incidentally, one of our current problems in education is due to wealth inequality anyway. Because education is usually funded with property taxes, the quality of schools is very regionally segregated. Good schooling correlates with high property value correlates with rich people.Go to sleep, iguana.

The links in the first post remind me of Charlotte Iserbyt's research and book > " The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America"
PDF link > http://www.deliberatedumbingdown.com.../DDDoA.sml.pdf
To your points on free markets, you are correct that without some mechanism of enforcement, the big and powerful will steamroll the small. The government's role in a free market is to ensure that everybody plays by the same rules ie. they cannot violate another's property rights nor commit fraud. There also needs to be some way to mediate disputes. (our current civil court system) Neither of these government functions requires anything to be "regulated" in the current understanding of the term.
The one thing of which I am absolutely certain is that my children will never attend a school run by the government.
Kalach, what is your solution? Bring back the plague?

Unlike some other authors in Seeking Alpha, I appreciate small and hidden gems as well as writing about them. Larger merger funds are usually not interested in these opportunities and, in general, novice retail investors do not want to read articles about small companies. Therefore, this article will not attract a lot of visitors. However, as per my opinion, quality and total return should be more important than the total amount of visitors that an article receives.
The merger between VTech Holdings Limited (OTCPK:VTKLY) ("VTech") and LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc (NYSE:LF) ("LeapFrog") is one of such cases. LeapFrog, the target company, is a tiny toys producer delivering products in the United States and worldwide. The buyer is quite big. VTech produces and distributes consumer electronic products in North America and internationally. It also provides learning products for children. I think, it is a great combination. Merger analysts did not really study it. In this article, I will explain my reasoning.
First of all, I think reading this article written by Lutz Muller can be very beneficial. In this write-up, remarkable comparison has been presented between the two companies and its products. I do not think I would do a better job, so I suggest you to read it. In this article, I am going to focus on the merger agreement and the financial numbers of both companies.
I can see here the following figures that I have noted down just to give you an idea (These are the numbers of the whole group):
- Market Capitalization: $2.53 billion
- Revenue: $1.91 billion
It is evident that the group is quite big. It has a lot of financial resources. Moreover, the revenues are diversified internationally.
In addition, the company has an expertise in the industry, which is very important in any business combination like this one:
The results of the learning products division are good. It declined a little bit in 2015. As per my opinion, the new entrants (tablets, smartphones...) are increasing the competition in this sector. This new threat is very well explained in the work of Lutz Muller.
Overall, the group is very big. It is a profitable business. It exactly knows how the business of the target works. Furthermore, the learning products division is not suffering so much (although 2015 was a bad year). The new merger will create a new player, more competitive and profitable to resist the new entrants in the industry.
The target
I would read the following article written by William Bias. In this piece, there is a good analysis of the financial performance of LeapFrog. In addition, this respected author comprehensively explains the decline of the company. I agree with the following statements included in that article:
"LeapFrog's fundamentals suffer from lack of demand due to competition from other technologies."
"Leapfrog's plans for product innovation may be too little too late."
As per my opinion, the merger is a good move and it may be the last chance of this company. The stock price has dramatically collapsed in 2014 and 2013 due to the bad results:
I do not think the company restructured the business correctly. This merger will be a good opportunity to adapt to the new context.
The financial figures are very ugly (check them here):
- Market Capitalization: $68.85 million
- Revenue: $284.45 million
To cut a long story short, LeapFrog is a very small company with a lot of problems. It is too small to innovate in this context. The new market participants have much more cash on hand to compete. Shareholders should accept this last chance and tender their shares. Maybe, the price paid is not very competitive, but I do not know whether they will have more opportunities or not.
The merger agreement
The buyer will pay an amount of $1 per share in cash to the shareholders of LeapFrog. VTech will pay with cash in hand.
I identified the following conditions in this merger:
- there having been tendered and not validly withdrawn Shares which (when added to any Company Shares beneficially owned by Parent and Acquisition Sub) would represent at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the number of Class A Shares outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Offer (assuming for this purpose that Class B Shares validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) will convert to Class A Shares at the time of the consummation of the Offer)
- expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended,
- obtaining any other significant required government approvals,
- the Net Cash Balance (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Company being at least $25 million as of March 31, 2016.
As per my opinion, in this kind of mergers between strategic players, the most important conditions are the antitrust conditions. In this case, the target is so tiny that I do not expect any problem. The regulators know that the target needs the merger and they will not pose any hurdle.
The termination fees are the same for both parties: US $2,900,000. I do not think this is small.
As per my opinion, this merger was announced on 5th February 2016, and not many analysts studied it. The bid price on 8th February 2016 was $0.94, which represents an incredible opportunity.
If the merger closes in two months, the total annualized return of this operation can be around 38%. A few small money managers and savvy investors will profit from this opportunity. Thanks to Seeking Alpha, you can be part of this elite group.

Today I am going to link up with Shannon!! It has been a while since I have done so...
SO WHAT: if I woke up a bit bitter this morning... I am usually a pretty good fireman's wife - but today I am a bit whiny because I was sleeping soundly (finally - first night in a long time) and M got a chimney fire call at 1 AM and from that point on sound sleep went out the window!! Don't get me wrong, I love my hero and wouldn't have it any other way!
SO WHAT: if I went to bed with wet hair again last night and now my hair is curly - where did these curls come from? So today I have gone for the tousled curls look... Ha!
SO WHAT: if when I saw this quote:
I did not know it was a song, yet alone by my friend Rascal Flatts:
Although I had heard the song and loved it... I didn't put the two together!!
SO WHAT: if I had a major blond moment yesterday.... I didn't realize there was a time change between Alberta and Ontario... and I am Canadian!!! Thank heavens for a patient Alberta friend.... lol Alison!
SO WHAT: if I am considering changing Lux's name to Lucifer permanently. He seems to answer to it and I tend to call him Lucy often, along with Lucifer.
SO WHAT: if M and I have discussion about what our pets would sound like if they could talk. We also decided it was best that cats can't talk, especially Jazz - her looks say enough - I can't imagine much positivity coming from that cat unless it was dinner or treat time! Or bed time. I swear though, she is a *SWEET* cat! See:
She's the gray one... and yes both you and I know that the bed is only meant for one cat... but c'est la vie!
SO WHAT: if I can operate a complicated camera and shoot in raw, yet I cannot seem to take a decent photo with my new phone, which has a 5 MP camera (which I know isn't great, but better than what I had) and it has a flash and I still suck!!
SO WHAT: if M and I are making caramel corn this year as the goodies we give out to our friends this year. He asked me why OUR baking projects turn into HIS baking projects. I told him it was because he was better (boost his ego a bit more). But come to think of it - I made the cookies last year and I decorated them too! I will be sure to remind him of this tonight when I read this post to him - he loves So What Wednesday posts and believes they should happen everyday for me!
SO WHAT: if I agreed to work Thursday this week and I already wish it was Friday!! I also had to cancel my much needed hair cut appointment I had made for Thursday.
Now for some:
Head on over and link up with Michelle!!
I love this headboard!! Soo rustic looking!!
I find this VERY handy!! I might actually have to print these out:
I love this hair style and I think and hope it might just work for Christmas this year - as I plan on curling my hair! (I would also like her eye make up)
I am still struggling with some aspects of forgiveness:
Soo True:
I think Gracie would LOVE this dog Popsicle with toys frozen inside!!
Have a great Wednesday!!!

COVENTRY — When Dorothy Grady moved to Coventry 24 years ago, she sat in the high school auditorium and listened to plans for a school construction project.
``The town studied it and studied it, and it was all gone. My children are beyond college now,'' she said. ``I would like better for new groups of children.''

This is a great place to eat with reasonable prices and a great wait staff. Not only was the food delicious but so was the interior.

I have been an avid customer here at Sapporo for years and continue to enjoy my visit every time. I have taken my family and friends here to celebrate on many occasions, which the kids love. You truly feel the family warmth when dining here. I have also had lunch here due to the fact that I just can't get enough. The prices are great at lunch time as well. Just think for the price of a burger and fries, you can get combos of chicken/scallops or shrimp/scallops with rice, and a soup or salad. It definitely fills you. They are actually renovating certain parts of the restaurant which looks great.

Niall Horan & Louis Tomlinson: Pre-Show Soccer Studs
April 30, 2013 by admin
Filed under Uncategorized
Keeping active during some downtime, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson opted for a spot of soccer in Paris, France yesterday (April 29).
The One Direction rock stars looked to be enjoying themselves as they killed time before their sold-out concert at the Bercy Arena, which kicked off the European leg of their new tour.
And it sounds like fans of 1D will have something extra to be thankful for this holiday season, as the ?Live While We?re Young? lads will soon record a new album to be released by year?s end.
An inside source told press, ?The band are going from strength to strength so it would be silly not to have an album out in time for the profitable Christmas market. All the lads are incredibly hard-working and career minded. Although they are knackered, they all love what they are doing.?

I'm not quite sure if we're supposed to do the 23 Things listed here or if there is another set of 23 things Dr. Kearns has in store for the class. Just to play it safe, this entry is about the first Thing listed on that site: Read this blog & find out about the program.
My impressions:
1. I liked the podcast included on the site. Helen Blower's helpful explanation about the Learning 2.0 program was delivered in a very professional manner. It was a nice use of multimedia on a blog.
2. I really like the way the program is organized. Breaking up the learning tasks into 23 pieces makes achieving the goals more manageable. It was a great idea to reward her staff with MP3 players and the possibility of winning a new laptop. Great incentives!
3. I'm glad she included links back to the About and FAQ page. I clicked on the links, opening each in a new tab of Firefox and learned that they each landed on a different place of the same page. Perhaps she could have noted that and not kept them as separate links, for usability's sake.
4. By encouraging each of the participants to keep their own blogs, Blower kills multiple birds with one stone. She allows them to keep themselves and their peers accountable; she lets them learn how to design and keep their own blogs (a Thing); and she provides a way for others to learn from the experience as well -- especially those not involved in the original program.
I think it will be a lot of fun learning how to do new things this way.
Your thoughts?

Are these the shortest promotions in the history of banking ?
Bloomberg reports that Brett Ersoff and John Herman, who took over the commercial-mortgage bond group at UBS just last week after the group's head departed for Bank of America Corp., have left the bank, said two people familiar with the moves who asked not to be identified because they haven't been announced.
Ersoff and Herman were named co-heads of real-estate finance and mortgage-backed securities after Kenneth Cohen exited to become the global head of commercial real estate at Bank of America in New York.
In the meantime, The Edinburgh Evening News reports that neighbours of ex-RBS boss Fred Goodwin are planning to use a new law to force the former banker's estranged wife to cut back an 'oppressive' 25ft hedge outside his city mansion.
Neighbours claim the wall of vegetation blocks out the light and prevents plants from growing in their own gardens, and plan to become one of the first groups in the Capital to take action under the new High Hedges (Scotland) Bill, which came into force last month.
Finally, this is a great Fox Business Network video:

(RICHMOND, Va.) — A Richmond, Virginia-area woman faces up to eight years in prison after pleading guilty Monday to a single charge of lying about her support for the Islamic State extremist group.
Heather Elizabeth Coffman, 29, of Henrico County initially posted messages on Facebook supporting ISIS and how she was arranging for her husband to travel to Syria to join the militant group.
Prosecutors say that Coffman was then contacted by an undercover agent for the FBI in July 2014 and discussed her plans with him.
According to court documents, she also mentioned how her husband backed out of the plan after they broke up but that she was still willing to help send others abroad to fight with ISIS.
It was during a later visit by the FBI at her workplace that Coffman claimed not to support ISIS, leading to charges of lying to federal investigators.
Coffman will remain imprisoned while awaiting her sentencing in May.

The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest compared to all the other vehicles in today's marketplace. You purchased your K1500 Suburban because its reliability and trusted quality struck a chord inside you; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to great quality auto parts? GMC car, truck, or SUV owners have become used to a certain level of dependability when driving their K1500 Suburban around town. It's not a regular occurrence that you find yourself in need of a replacement Idle Air Control Valve for your vehicle.
You can't get great gas mileage and horsepower at the same time without the best air intake and fuel delivery parts. Your GMC K1500 Suburban fuel-injected engine is much more advanced than a carbureted one from decades ago, and needs the idle air control valve to keep the idle up. The GMC K1500 Suburban idle control valve is controlled by the ECU, and it lets a slight amount of air into the intake when you are not moving. That means your engine can still maintain a constant 700-900 RPM while waiting at a red light... all thanks to your idle air control valve.
Trust in the value of the parts you get from carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Bring your K1500 Suburban back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate GMC K1500 Suburban part for your project or repair. If your car or truck was built in 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, then you will find the correct GMC K1500 Suburban Idle Air Control Valve parts right here.

Anyone care to discuss the advantages & disadvantages of the Swap - Don't Swap options of the GPO? The default is No Swap, and there it shall remain until I have some understanding of the total effect of changing it.
Anyone care to discuss the advantages & disadvantages of the Swap - Don't Swap options of the GPO? The default is No Swap, and there it shall remain until I have some understanding of the total effect of changing it.
I have mine turned off which I assume means that it will swap memory. I haven't noticed any adverse effects with it turned off. I do know that turning it off saves a lot of RAM when using DFD.
Support your fellow musicians: http://www.edgen.com/music/
If the swap is enabled you will get stuttering sound. If memory gets close to being filled or sounds aren't used for a while, then they may get swapped out of memory to the swap file on the hard drive. When they are needed, Windows has to swap the sounds off the hard drive back to physical memory. This causes stuttering. I have had it happen to me and it's not pretty. Usually you need to reboot and reload the song to get around this.
I have the swap file disabled in the OS so this won't occur. There have been threads in the past on how to make these changes. Beware that there a registry edits involved which could make the system unbootable.
Very interesting!!!! If a change is made in the options dialogue of GPO, is it possible that this could cause a corruption or deletion of the config.sys file? If so, the option should probably be removed as a dangerous option.Originally Posted by Haydn
Seems to me that I may have changed the option before my first system destruction. The problem was resolved to "config.sys file corrupt or missing."
Can't remember if had changed it after restoration, but there was another problem, same error.
This time, 5 days normal operation, I have not changed the swap file option, and seem to have less problems with noise of all types. None seems to be present.
Would this swap file option be more likely to cause a problem when using DXi or Cakewalk VST Adapter, both with Sonar 2.2?
You may have just answered the really vexing problem I have been experiencing! I have not yet tried using the Cakewalk VST Adapter, but Sonar with DXI works great.
The option in the GPO Kontakt player should be safe to change. The one I was mentioning that could make your system unbootable is a couple changes to keys in the Windows registry. These changes if made wrong could have disastrous effects.
With swap enabled you will get faster load times but you could get stuttering. You whould always leave the option enabled if you have under 1 GB of memory.


text: I'm not a huge fan of slasher movies, but Behind the Mask is a very entertaining take on the genre. The movie follows a documentary crew following the next would-be Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger. It deals with the tropes of the genre, explains them, plays with them and, most impressive of all, uses them to good effect. Well worth a watch for fans of the genre or horror in general, if you like a bit of humour with your horror.
