This will end a year long search to find a new buyer for the business, identified as non core by India's largest private sector lender Earlier this week, ICICI Bank is believed to have officially informed TPG that they are out of the reckoning following an internal meet over the weekend these sources added.
IVFA-Baring Asia's offer was better than TPG's Rs 2,200-2,300 crore bid and even though the fund was willing to match the winning offer, they were rejected. The deal is estimated to be 1.6 times the value of the book.
A formal announcement is likely shortly. India Value Fund Advisors or IVFA with its investors, or Limited Partners in industry parlance, will own 65 per cent stake, while the rest will be held by Baring Asia.
Limited Partners will not have any rights on the company. TPG Capital refused to comment on the story while Baring Asia, IVFA and ICICI Home Finance did not respond to emailed questionnaires.
ICICI Bank had put the home finance arm on sale in July last year and was expecting a value of around Rs 4,400 crore. The first round of bidding attracted interest from TPG, Baring Asia, Piramal Group, Bajaj Finance and Partners Group. However, by December only TPG and Partners Group remained in the race. In the final round TPG had emerged as the main buyer.
But deal was put on hold due to some differences between TPG and ICICI. Renegotiations started in June this year and by July, the deal was almost signed. However, at the last moment, Baring Asia reached out to ICICI and offered to pay top TPG's offer by 10 per cent and also agreed to some of the seller's other terms.
People in the know said that TPG had worked hard at putting together a team of senior finance experts to lead the housing finance arm. The fund had already roped in R Sridhar, the former managing director and chief executive officer of Shriram Transport Finance, in which TPG was an early investor.
ICICI Home Finance's net profit for the financial year ended March 2016 was Rs 180 crore versus Rs 198 crore in the same year-ago period. Total assets of the home finance arm increased by Rs 100 crore in the financial year and touched about Rs 931crore as per the bank's annual results.

Today we had a double bill of being entertained musically. We had tickets for two venues.
We wandered up to London (pics will follow tomorrow), and first venue was Wigmore Hall to see the Gould Piano Trio - who were excellent and treated us to..
Beethoven's Piano Trio in E sharp Op. 1 No 1 and
Smetana's Piano Trio in G minor Op. 15
Excellent concert, brilliantly played and, for me, I think the first time for Smetana... particularly this piece. Somehow a piano trio just adds - perhaps it's the different sounds... all three musicians were excellent and it was obvious there was a 'union of feeling' between them.
A wander around London and a bite to eat before we headed off to the Royal Opera House for Carmen.
Of all the operas I've seen to date ( I'm getting there...) Carmen in the one with which I was most familiar with the music before seeing the opera - so I knew what to expect before getting there. Whilst we were up in the 'cheap' seats in the gods, in the main we could see all we needed to; except that Pete's view of the subtitles was a little obscured.
However, the music comes alive so beautifully when you see the pieces being sung and the opera itself acted.
The stage design was simple and clever and definitely created the right atmosphere; this being added to by the lighting. The singers were excellent and really told the story well.
Anita Rachvelishvili as Carmen kept my attention every minute she was on stage (which is most of the opera) as did Roberto Alagna as Don Jose (who really comes into his own towards the end) Although the story is known in advance and Carmen's death is anticipated, the sheer brilliance of the acting by the principal characters still managed to bring a tear to my eye.
The story of Carmen, set in Seville, in Spain, is somewhat simple really with law and order taking centre stage joined by the age-old story of love with a tragic outcome. It always works, particularly with Carmen.
Mostly my enjoyment of this production was in its simplicity... no clever modern staging which, in my humble opinion, doesn't often work. Give me an opera that was as it was intended originally, and I'm happy. I'm not opera buff so my comments are very basic and indicate what I've enjoyed... they're not intended to be anything more or less than that!
So to date, I would say this is probably one of my two most favourite operas.. the other being La Boheme - it was GREAT! And the Donkey and the Horse played their parts very well too :D
And we shall be back on many more occasions to the Royal Opera House.

A machine press is a machine tool that creates or changes the shape of a workpiece by the application of pressure in manufacturing processes.
Machine presses can be mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic and the type you choose depends on the material that you want to shape or cut.
Hydraulic Presses
Hydraulic presses rely on differences in fluid pressure. The fluid is pumped into a cylinder below the piston which causes the fluid pressure to increase under the piston. At the same time fluid is pumped out of the top channel causing the pressure above the piston to decrease.
A higher pressure of the fluid below the piston than the fluid above it causes the piston to rise. In the next step, fluid is pumped out from below the piston, causing the pressure under the piston to decrease. Simultaneously, fluid is pumped into the cylinder from the top, this increases the fluid pressure above the piston. A higher pressure of the fluid above the piston, than the fluid below it, moves the piston downward.
Typical application of a Hydraulic press
Metal forming
Deep drawing
Pneumatic Presses
Pneumatic presses depend on a pump to build air pressure in a reservoir, it is released as required to apply pressure. A pneumatic press can move faster and can perform several cycles. They have few moving parts which makes them low maintenance.
Typical applications of a Pneumatic press
Mechanical Presses
Mechanical presses use mechanical leverage to form, shape or cut materials.
The mechanical press transforms the rotational force of a motor into a translational force vector that performs the pressing action. The mechanical press is faster than a hydraulic press. The application of force varies in both speed and magnitude throughout the distance of the stroke. When performing a manufacturing operation using a mechanical press, the correct range of the stroke is essential.
Typical applications of a Mechanical press
Metal forging
Sheet metal working

Learn the risk factors and get tips on how to avoid this common bone disease.
Osteoporosis (bone loss) is sometimes called a silent disease because bone loss gradually happens without you easily seeing or feeling it. You may not know that you have bone loss until your bones become so weak that a sudden strain, bump or fall causes a hip to break or part of your spine to collapse.
In the United States, more than 40 million people either already have bone loss or are at high risk of having it because of low bone mass. Some factors make it more likely that you'll lose bone strength. You can't change some of those things: gender, age, body size, ethnicity and family history. Here's what you can change:
- Calcium and vitamin D: Not getting enough calcium and vitamin D can make it more likely your bones will lose strength.
- Medication use: Long-term use of certain medications can cause bone loss and lead to broken bones.
- Lifestyle: An inactive lifestyle or extended bed rest tends to weaken bones.
- Cigarette smoking: Smoking is bad for bones as well as the heart and lungs.
- Alcohol intake: Drinking too much alcohol can make it more likely your bones will lose strength or break.
How is osteoporosis diagnosed?
A bone mineral density test is the best way to check your bone health. The test is fast, easy and painless. The test can:
- Diagnose bone loss and tell you whether you are likely to break a bone.
- Check bone strength.
- Determine whether treatments are making the bones stronger.
It's important to detect low bone density before you break a bone. In addition, if you are diagnosed with bone loss and are treated, the test helps your doctor see how fast you are losing bone strength or gaining it so that your doctor can treat your bone loss best.
How is osteoporosis treated?
Treating bone loss includes eating well, exercising and being mindful of safety issues so that you can prevent falls that may cause broken bones. In addition, your doctor may prescribe a medication to slow or stop bone loss, increase bone density and lower the chance that you might break a bone.
Can osteoporosis be prevented?
To help keep your bones healthy and slow down bone loss:
- Eat a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D.
- Exercise regularly.
- Do not drink alcohol excessively or smoke.
When should you talk to your doctor about osteoporosis?
Talk to your doctor if:
- You are over age 50. The risk of bone loss increases with age.
- You are a woman. Women have a higher risk of bone loss than do men, but both men and women can develop it.
- You have lost height, developed a stooped posture or experienced sudden back pain for no obvious reason.
- You have been taking medications such as prednisone or cortisone for two months or longer or are taking other medications known to cause bone loss.
- You have a chronic illness.
- You have anorexia nervosa or a history of this eating disorder.
- You are a premenopausal woman, not pregnant, and your menstrual periods have stopped, are irregular or never started when you reached puberty.
Take time to talk about your risks of bone loss with your doctor. If you have osteoporosis, you can take steps to lessen bone loss.

This essay is running in The Washington Post on Monday, July 11. I try to say what I believe. This is part of of it:
Democracy has always been contentious; it will not get less so. There is no ideal point we will reach where strife ceases and people live without anger or grievance; but often, it seems like the past was such a place. The past seems particularly pleasant to people who once enjoyed greater privilege and power. In most ways we live in a better world then the one our grandparents lived in. But not in all things. It takes discernment to know what is worth preserving; the humanities, which are in danger in many places in America today, are the practice of that discernment.
And there is also this:
Black Lives Matter is a slogan that calls attention to pervasive and immoral bias against people of color; All Lives Matter is a truism used to deflect attention away from the fact of racism (see above: demanding that they say things as a ritual submission to your worldview will only alienate them). Injustice that has lasted centuries won't disappear today, tomorrow or any time soon. All people are equal before the law; but history did not deliver us a society in which wealth, opportunity and dignity are equally available to all people. It may take decades to root out racism; but there's not a minute to lose when it comes to the guarantee of civil equality.

The first time I arrived at the club I could think of nothing but my brother.
Bare walls covered with dirty blue tiles, foldable wooden chairs, a net on top of what used to be a pool. Five men inside.
Not a place you find in the newspapers; a place to which your friend brings you along. A place where you know that whoever is running the show must have a lot of friends and certainly the right friends – because if they don't the place would long be shut down.
When you have crossed the parking lot the first thing the two large men ask for is your name. They don't ask for you ID, but they ask for your name and if your name is not on the list then you won't get in. The list says whether you've been there before; the list says whether someone trusted you enough to bring you along the first time. The list also has the name of the friend that brought you along and if you mess up then that friend will have a problem. Continue reading

Let's look at product management for inspiration. Let's say we are making widgets. If our cost for making the widgets is higher than the price we can sell them for, would it make sense to keep making the widgets? I think not!
Then why are we doing this in the consulting world?
We sometimes have clients who generate so much non-billable time that it eats up all the profit from the billable time we charge them. And yet, we keep those clients. Why? Could it be because we don't know the client is costing us money?
We need to connect our costs to our clients. At the very least, we should record when we work for a client, even if it's non-billable time. At the end of the year, we'll be able to see if the billings for that client covered our costs, including that of non-billable time. If a client consumes a lot of non-billable technical support time, for example, then we can adjust the billable rate for that client for the coming year to compensate for the non-billable costs associated with a client.
Too often we only look at the billable work done for the client. This gives a biased outlook on the client's profitability. If we include hidden costs such as non-billable work done for the client, then we paint a more accurate picture of that client's contribution to the firm's success.

Atlanta, Georgia
The Krog Street Tunnel
An underground magnet for ever-changing street art.
Most urban tunnels and viaducts have their fair share of graffiti, but Atlanta's Krog Street Tunnel no longer has an inch of unpainted space.
The short underpass connects the Atlanta neighborhoods of Cabbagetown and Inman Park, attracting residents from both sides who are looking for a place to make their mark with street art. From small tags to huge murals to underground festival flyers, the concrete walls and pillars of are a chaotic kaleidoscope of overlapping and ever-shifting images, words, and ideas. People have even spray-painted marriage proposals on the walls. The graffiti is so well known and so often updated that there are even websites that post an image a day from the Krog street underground.

Alexandra Hunziker has been running twice a week for many years, usually early in the morning. She explains how this makes her feel.
The running bug bit me 12 years ago in San Francisco. I saw runners everywhere I went, and I also wanted to get moving. Since then I've been putting my running shoes on twice a week. I usually run between 7:00 and 7:30 when my husband is still home with the children. I run whenever I feel that I have to let off steam or need time for myself. So I like running alone.
Sometimes I take my small daughter along in her baby buggy, or her six-year old sister accompanies me on her bicycle. It's wonderful how the ideas flow while running. I often work on new business ideas while running through Rieterpark or along Lake Zurich. I run come rain or shine, and I love running in winter. I suppose I inherited this from my grandmother, who came from the cold of Russia. I even take my running shoes along when I travel. I ask the locals about beautiful parks and routes for running and get to know foreign cities from a different perspective.
I'm fit and even-tempered thanks to running twice a week. I've hardly been ill in the past 12 years. I'm not very fast, but I have lots of stamina. It's a dream of mine to do a mountain run sometime, but first I'll do the mother-and-child run at the Zurich Silvesterlauf with my oldest daughter. She can see how much fun I have with this sport, and would like to start running herself.

Subscribe To Carrie Remake Promises An R-Rating And Gallons Of Blood At New York Comic Con Updates
I've already subscribed
Nearly 36 years ago, Brian De Palma's adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel Carrie hit theaters. It not only terrorized audiences but also proved iconic in part because of Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie's powerful and frightening performances as the titular telekinetic teen and her maniacal mother, portrayals that earned each an Academy Award nod. With a legacy like this to live up to, remaking Carrie could easily be deemed destined to fail. But Boys Don't Cry director Kimberly Peirce has never shied away from a challenge. For Peirce, the key to making her Carrie distinct from De Palma's—which she admires—was to go back to the book for inspiration. So don't consider this a remake as much as a new interpretation of King's novel.
The differences in Peirce's approach were immediately clear with the premiere screening of the Carrie teaser at New York Comic Con yesterday. An aerial shot of a town at night, as somber voices speak of Carrie, travels over a building fully ablaze, clearly her high school on prom night. But the shot continues past the massive blaze, and down a street where there are patches of fires along the way, more and more carnage clutters the street until we see a small figure surrounded by flames. The shot pushes into her: Chloë Grace Moretz as Carrie. She's covered in blood and glares at us with gritted teeth as a young woman's voice, says softly, "She wasn't a monster, she was just a girl."
Moretz joined Peirce on the panel, along with Julianne Moore, who will play momma Margaret, and producer Kevin Misher. They confirm that like the trailer—and the book—the destruction Carrie unleashes will extend beyond the prom. And while each member of the panel repeated that the center of this film would be the twisted relationship between Carrie and Margaret White, there will also be blood. Lots and lots of blood.
First Moretz detailed how she's been coated in all kinds of blood over the course of the shoot, "wet blood, dry blood, fire blood," she counts off, adding, that after a few weeks of shooting "the blood became part of who you are," admitting she'd get back to her hotel with blood all over her, which likely alarmed some lobby lurkers. Later, Peirce detailed there was plenty of research and development into every aspect of the blood. Misher assured no pigs were harmed in the making of the movie, and Peirce recalled they tested blood dumping for 3 to 4 months, testing various consistencies ("thin, thick, not thin at all"), angles and trajectory, aiming, and amounts of blood from 3 to 5 gallons. She explained it was a careful balance, "How big is scary? How big is funny?" Asked how much fake blood was used in the making of Carrie, Peirce paused to do the math, "5 gallons per bucket, 50 tests…I'm going to go with 1,000 gallons of fake blood."
Besides all this talk of blood, the filmmakers and stars spoke again and again about Carrie and Margaret, and how the focus on them in the film will set this Carrie apart from De Palma's. "They really can exist as two separate, equal, really great things," Peirce insists, "The mother daughter relationship in our movie is profound. It's the heart of it."
Moore seems to have dug in deep for her portrayal of the overzealous and shame-ridden mother character, explaining, "For me the character of Margaret was rooted in isolation." She details that Margaret was once in a cult, then developed her own faith that phased out her former community, then "She thought when she was pregnant that the child was a cancer and delivered the baby alone…so her only community is Carrie…so when Carrie begins to move away from her" that is Margaret's breaking point. And that breaking point will be brutal for both mother and daughter, as Misher points out the film is intended for an R-rating, "So you could depict the work of the book accurately, you did not need to pull your punches."
When it came to questions from the audience, there was a predictable amount of fanboy adoration that led to some awkward moments. One audience member dressed as Kick-Ass asked Moretz for a private audience afterwards, and before she could respond, the crowd universally booed his creepy request. To her credit, the 15-year-old actress demurely declined after chastising us for not being nice. More shout-outs for her work as Hit-Girl, and pronounced anticipation for Kick-Ass 2 popped up, and one man took to the mic just to pronounce his love for Moore and Hannibal, 'cause why not?
The other recurring topic was bullying, namely, how the filmmakers tackled the issue in the light of recent movements to intervene with the rising tide of cruel—and sometimes deadly—abuse kids today are relentlessly hurling at each other. Peirce was reluctant to give away plot details, but offered that Carrie is contemporarily set, and she implied, cyber-bullying will play a part in Carrie's torment at the hands of her peers.
Despite the bleakness in the plot, Peirce repeatedly used the word "fun" to describe the film, and seems confident that it will appeal to broader audiences that her past efforts. With Moore and Moretz on board, Carrie got cautious optimism from many movie fans normally enraged by remakes, but when the first teaser hits the web, I wager even more fans will be won over. In the meantime, they did share something all of you can also enjoy: the phone number for the White residence. Moretz tells us that depending on when you call, you could get Carrie or Margaret on the line, and she assures us, "It's spooky!"
So, call Carrie: 207-404-2604. I did it, and I got goosebumps. No joke.
Carrie opens March 15th, 2013.

Our approach to wealth management is based on a deeper understanding of what wealth is.
For many, wealth symbolises status and materiality – a definition of individual monetary worth. For others, it can mean so much more. We believe in the old English definition of wealth: the condition of well-being, whether personal, professional, environmental, social or financial. But somewhere along the way the original meaning of wealth has been forgotten. We are bringing it back.
We are a team of wealth managers and impact specialists focusing exclusively on aligning wealth stewardship and creation with our clients' personal values.
Our goal is to deliver long-term positive impact and growth for everyone, in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our theory of change? To change the very nature of wealth and its impact.

This imperative of addressing gender equality and social issues that disproportionately affect women and girls, married with the massive societal and economic opportunity to bring women into full force in business, can represent a tremendous opportunity for impact as well as financial return. Suzanne has over 30 years' experience in sustainable business, social investment, emerging markets and domestic entrepreneurship, and the linkages between philanthropy and international development with investment. Her career started at IBM and spanned several tech startups, her own successful e-learning company, and a portfolio career as an active impact investor herself, board member, adviser, and consultant.

He believes that averting the environmental crisis and developing a sustainable partnership with our Earth is the most important outcome of this century.

Since selling his travel business, Tim is focusing his time on helping grow future change-makers in his Venture Partner roles at EF (Europe's top incubator) and at Zinc VC (the worlds first impact incubator).
It's surely our responsibility to do everything within our power to create a planet that provides a home not just for us, but for all life on earth.Sir David Attenborough

Hormones in our bodies are made in different quantities during the various phases of our lives. As we age it is common for the levels of some of these hormones to become deficient. As a woman enters perimenopause and then menopause (which may occur naturally or as the result of a hysterectomy), certain hormones–particularly estrogen–are produced in lower levels by the body. This lack of hormones can result in troubling symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, low libido, vaginal dryness, sleep difficulties, irritability, and unexplained weight gain.
Problems with conventional HRT
For many years the accepted medical treatment for menopausal symptoms was hormone replacement therapy (HRT). In traditional HRT, synthetic estrogen is prescribed to try to alleviate symptoms. HRT was widely prescribed until a few years ago, but in 2002, findings from a large study called the Women's Health Initiative raised concerns about its safety and side effects. Researchers found increased risks for serious health problems. Women who were taking estrogen alone had an increased risk for stroke and blood clots, while women who had taken a combination of estrogen and progestin for several years were at greater risk for such things as heart disease, breast cancer, stroke, and blood clots.
Why "bioidentical" hormones?
In seeking a safer alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapy,an increasing number of women and their doctors are turning to bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Bioidentical hormones are made from soy and yam extracts that are changed in a lab to have the same molecular structure as the hormones your body produces. Because they are more natural our bodies can metabolize them as they were designed to do, minimizing side effects.

Have you ever noticed, when you try to help another person and offer them words of encouragement, how good you felt after that conversation? One pivotal day in my life, I realized how I always seemed to find just the right words to help others, but when I could have used words of hope for myself, and some much needed self-love, my mind was blank.
That day, I had been feeling really low and felt myself spiraling downward as the afternoon passed. I couldn't tell if I was sad, frightened, lost, confused, lonely, or what-have-you. How could I help myself if I had no idea what I was feeling? What happened next still astounds me and what eventually led to the creation of this website.
With nobody around and no desire to phone anybody, I found myself thinking why can't I find my own words to help me, the way I helped other people. The next thing I knew, I began to feel a sense of peace come over me, as I sat up slowly, knowing what needed to be done. I believed I found a way to help me, not only for that day, but for future disruptions that may come into my life, which might even help others in similar situations.
I remind you how, not only people living alone, but people surrounded with families and friends can feel isolated and lost without knowing the reason for a feeling of despair. This alien-like feeling stems from our unique emotions, rooted from thoughts of fear (anxiety) or uncontrollable fleeting thoughts (uncertainty), which can alienate us from the people we trust the most and love the best. Living on my own, with nobody to turn to, I had to rely on myself to find a solution to emotions or thoughts or both which had left me despondent.
My epiphany came to me when I remembered how great I felt whenever I had helped other people feel better. I had used uplifting words and buoyed their spirits through my encouraging thoughts, words of strength, and reassured them of their self-worth. My a-ha moment came when I remembered how I spoke from the heart and shared what I believed and which seemed to solidify my thoughts and my beliefs in me. It was the old "boomerang effect", not only directing my words back to me, they returned more defined and more concrete.
Having been familiar with affirmations and positive thinking, I understood that the best words to use would best be discovered when I was in a healthier emotional state. That afternoon, I helped myself by using very simple "I am" statements such as "I am strong. I am healthy. I am fine and all will be fine."
As time went on, I began to write messages to myself to include the four areas of my life which mean the most to me being emotions, mental, physical, and spiritual. These are the areas in my life, when balanced, offers me feelings of peace, hope, and joy. I began to share these messages with friends each morning; the feedback was better than I expected. Seeing how my messages helped others, I decided to share daily self-talk messages with the world through this website.
Now when I find myself troubled or uncertain, I have a place to look for words that can offer me encouragement. This allows me shift my emotions to a higher vibration while balancing the other areas of my life which offers me a much better and harmonious way of living.
I encourage you to create a special set of words and statements which are ideal for you in the areas of your life which offer you a balanced lifestyle. Write out a set of three or four self-talk messages when you are at a 'good place'. Keep them handy for when those challenging times sneak up on you and you can help yourself by remembering how amazing you are and that life will get better. I hope you can benefit also by taking advantage of my self-talk cards which are intended to be used by all as offerings of words filled with love, hope, and joy for a world filled with unlimited possibilities.

Coffee Addiction
Coffee and I have a complicated relationship. Let me explain…
Coffee is not my drink of choice. In fact, I really don't like it that much at all. That's why I have to drink it loaded with spices and sweetener. Coffee is just a tool. A tool that punishes you when you stop using it.
I don't drink coffee when I'm not in school. When I'm not in school, sleep is my drug of choice. My mind is clear when I get a solid night of sleep. When I'm in school; however, sleep is a luxury that I can't always afford. That's when I turn to coffee.
I start each semester as a coffee "virgin." I don't drink coffee for the first few weeks. My skin stays clear, and I feel pretty good.
Then, midterms come. I have to stay up later to finish my school work, so I start drinking a little bit of coffee in the morning to make it through the day. Because I don't drink coffee much, a small cup does wonders for my alertness.
Then, I get busier. The busier life gets, the more coffee I drink. I drink that bitter drink more and more until my coffee usage peaks during finals week. My skin is increasingly less radiant. Then, the day after finals I stop. I just don't need it anymore. That would work great–if it wasn't for withdrawal symptoms.
Within two days, I wake up with a killer headache. Every time it happens, I know what the source of my pain is. Coffee is trying to keep a hold on me. I hate feeling like I have drink something to mitigate my pain. My headache was so bad Sunday morning that even though I wanted to deal with the addiction, I had to down a half cup of mediocre coffee so I could function. I was singing in two choir performances and playing flute in the worship orchestra. Of course, drinking coffee eliminated my headache–much to my chagrin.
Now, I am sitting here knowing that I have to deal with the consequences of my actions. I should not have to drink something that I don't even like to function every day. I have sympathy for cigarette smokers and drug addicts. I can imagine how difficult it is for them to break an addiction to something much stronger than coffee
The worst part about coffee is that I know that I will be dealing with the exact same situation in May. Curse you, coffee!

Well, it is May in Chico!
We are winding down the school year, looking forward to graduation and the sleepy quiet town we become in the summer when the students head home. This is a time to enjoy the outdoors, before the sun gets too hot and the air conditioner calls us back inside.
One cool thing happening this month is BikeChico! May 11-17. The event starts on Sunday May 11, 2008 in the city plaza, with booths shops and gear. Then for the week ride your bike to work, school, shop and play. There are various events scheduled all week long, ending with a community picnic on the 17th. A good way for us to learn more about biking, and well, with the gas prices…
Another great thing about this time of year is the art festivals. The first Saturday of every month, different studios open for a tour. It is a great way to see some of the local artist of Chico, and support local merchant. Friday night concerts are going full blast in the downtown plaza and always reminds me what a diverse group of talented musicians we have in this town.
Both the Thursday night market and Saturday morning market are hopping right now, flowers, strawberries, and arts and crafts. A wonderful way to get out and enjoy the weather and socialize, you never know who you will run into at the market!
On a more personal note, PLEASE be careful out there. At this time of year, we get out the bikes and skates, we garden, hike in Upper Park, and spend time outdoors. Remember, sunscreen, helmets, pads (if needed), cell phones, and SAFETY! This is a busy time of year at emergency rooms, with sprains and breaks off all sorts. Use your safety gear and have a GREAT time!
Safe journey—Kris

Bloomberg reports, "U.S. Stocks Rise for Week as Data Bolster Growth Optimism."
U.S. stocks rose for a second straight week, with benchmark indexes reaching all-time highs, as data from durable goods to housing and employment fueled optimism that the world's largest economy is strengthening.
Alcoa Inc. and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. advanced at least 5.1 percent, pacing gains among commodity producers. Homebuilders rallied 5.5 percent as a group after sales of new homes topped forecasts. Apple Inc. added 2 percent after striking a deal to sell its iPhones through China Mobile Ltd. Twitter Inc. (TWTR) surged 6.2 percent amid optimism that the company has room to expand sales in digital advertising.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPX) climbed 1.3 percent to 1,841.40 in the holiday-shortened week, setting a record on Dec. 26. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDU) added 257.27 points, or 1.6 percent, to 16,478.41. The U.S. market was closed Dec. 25 for the Christmas holiday.
The Twitter news is already outdated, even though I found this story on the front page of the Bloomberg site. The stock's value sank 13 percent in a day.
But Americans don't seem to care about the Twitter's rise or fall or about the rest of the "good news" from the stock market. They think the economy is still bad.
From the Washington Times' political blog: "Most Americans think economy is bad and don't see it improving next year."
The majority of Americans said the economy is still hurting and they weren't optimistic for it to get any better in the next year, a CNN/ORC International poll released Friday found.
Nearly 70 percent of poll respondents said the economy was still in bad shape and slightly less at 66 percent said the only economic news they'd heard recently was bad news. A little more than 50 percent of those polled said they didn't expect much improvement and still thought the economy would be suffering a year from now.
Only 32 percent rated the economy as good, the poll found.
I have a hard time believing that "the only economic news" some have really heard is bad news. I suspect they don't bother to pay attention to the "good news," or remember it, because they recognize it as the propaganda that it is.
As I've pointed out several times recently, the stock market is rigged by the Federal Reserve's QE so that Wall Street makes big gains while the economy stagnates for the rest of us. Meanwhile, the Democrats ignore the cause and demand spread-the-wealth schemes to address the income inequality they are manufacturing.
Our economy is being run into the ground. No one should be optimistic about it.

Welcome to this week's Sunday Survival Buzz – a roundup of preparedness news, tips, articles and recommendations from around the web. But first, an update on my own preps.
Because I was recovering from eye surgery, I did not have much prepping time (actually none) but Shelly pitched in so it was still a productive week. I did have one Amazon purchase of note. This essential oil diffuser uses water and essential oils to make make a mist of micro-particles and disperse them into the air.
Do I feel the healing qualities of the essential oils this way? The jury is still out. I used a combination of lemon and lavender oils and the smell was heavenly plus, the changing lights were soothing. A bit of an extravagance I know, but heck, it was my birthday after all.
Other preps this week were the purchase of a dozen packs of my favorite Bear Creek Soups at our local drugstore. These soups have a long shelf life, are light weight to carry, and super-delicious.
Why do I mention this? Sometimes you can find prepping bargains in the most unlikely places. Keep an eye peeled and a little extra cash on hand so you can stock up when you find something that would make the perfect addition to your food storage panty.
Okay, enough about me. Let's get on to the Sunday Survival Buzz.
The Sunday Survival Buzz Volume 92
Shock Interview: Welfare Recipient: "I Get to Sit Home… I Get to Smoke Weed… We Still Gonna Get Paid": A welfare recipient in Austin recently contacted a morning radio show and explained that she gets a lot of money from the program. What she does with it may (or may not) surprise you.
The Fatal Flaw With the Dave Ramsey Snowball Method: The debt-snowball method is a debt reduction strategy, whereby one who owes on more than one account pays off the accounts starting with the smallest balances first while paying the minimum on larger debts. Once the smallest debt is paid off, one proceeds to the next slightly larger small debt above that, so on and so forth, gradually proceeding to the larger ones later. Here is one of my favorite blogger's experience – and something to keep in mind as you work to become debt free.
Hiding your Emergency Supplies from Strangers: This article is a good one to keep on hand if you frequently have workers or even landlords come into your home, condo, or apartment.
JFK Murder: Fifty Years Later And The Cover Up Continues: Shelly and I are of two opinions on the murder of JFK. I leave it up to you to decide which side of the fence you are standing.
Plain white T-shirt for $7 or $70? How wealth gap is changing retail: $70 for a plain white tee shirt? Are you kidding me? Personally, I am a $15 Lands End T-shirt type of gal – even less on sale. You have seen me wear them in most of my photos. As the article says,"The growing wealth gap between the richest and poorest Americans is increasingly creating a shopping chasm between those who are trading up and those who are trading down, experts say. What's missing is the middle."
Does a Constitution-free zone really exist in America?: Since 2008, the ACLU has maintained that there is a 100-mile constitution-free zone that wraps around the the external boundary of the United States. Within this area, Americans could be subject to random and arbitrary stops and searches. Is there really a government law that disallows the Fourth Amendment for 200 million Americans? Some people say it's true, but the reasoning behind a 100-mile "Constitution-free" zone argument is confusing at best. This is a well balanced discussion and something we should all read.
Frustrated Americans Can't Register for Obamacare, but a Dog in Colorado Got Coverage: This one really hit home with me. My existing coverage is being canceled and I have spent over 10 hours trying to find a replacement. The state website throws me out, the federal website is a joke, and fast talking salespeople at the insurance companies do not give a hoot whether your existing physician is included in their network. I am healthy and I pay the full premium. Don't get me started. (And kudos to a Costco representative who finally found the perfect plan for me. He did all of the work without keeping me on the phone for hours. Prompt and courteous – I am sooooo grateful.)
North Texas Drivers Stopped at Roadblock Asked for Saliva, Blood: We all know this is coming, but to read about it in the MSM makes it very real and very "right now" rather than later.
Singing show tunes helps fight off dementia, Alzheimer's disease: A study by U.S. scientists has shown that the brain function of those suffering from dementia can be improved if they belt out their favorite show tunes. Researchers working with elderly residents at an East Coast care home found in a four-month long study found that people who sang their favorite songs showed a marked improvement compared to those who just listened.
From Anne via Facebook:
Growing up in Montana, we had a small acreage that was nearly self sufficient as far as food goes… if we didn't grow it and can it, we didn't generally eat much of it and believe me, we ate well. My folks had planned out our place based on a book called the "Have More Plan". (My Dad often laughingly referred to it as the "Do-More Plan") A few years ago, I found the booklet was still in print and bought a copy of it. It is worth looking at a post-war plan that if you have acreage is doable.
I located a copy that is available as a free download and put it on my RESOURCES PAGE. Enjoy – and a huge hat tip to Anne!
This tip came it from Dave. Has anyone else purchased wheat directly from the farmers?
A bushel of wheat is 60 pounds. Any farmer will sell you a couple of bushels for $6 or $7 dollars a bushel. Pick up a flour mill, used, they are commonly sold for half price or less. Now you have the means to make very nice bread for next to nothing.
And last for today, some additional tips from Ecominer on what to do when the power goes out:
1. If you have a hot water heater there is generally a valve at the bottom you can drain the water heater. This water is drinkable.
2. If you use chemicals in the water tank to your toilet this water is not drinkable in most cases.
3. If you are out of water in your toilet, put a plastic trash bag in the toilet and do your thing in the plastic bag, everyone, in the house, and then change daily. Otherwise you will only be able to fill up the toilet until it is overflowing and then what are you going to do.
4. If you have beef in the freezer, and there is no power, take out the beef and as it thaws, cut it up into thin strips and hang it to dry. This is a basic way to jerky meat.
5. If you have a grill, take your pork and chicken and grill it as it thaws.
6. If the power is out in your refrigerator, take out everything and put it in a cooler. If it is winter, set it out in the garage to keep it cool if you are in a cold weather area. If not, take out the ice in your refrigerator, put it in a plastic bag, tie it off, and stick it in the cooler with your food.
7. If winter, and you have a Big Buddy catalytic propane heater you can use it in your house without being asphyxiated. This will keep your pipes from freezing, and if you close off rooms will keep everyone warm to a certain extent.
8. If you have a couple of five gallon water containers, you can buy at a sporting goods store, you should be able to last three or more days without additional help.
This weeks winner in the Backdoor Survival Book Festival is "Valerie". Valerie has won a copy of two books by A. American, Going Home and Surviving Home.
Here is how she answered the question "How would you survive if everyone around you was simply out for themselves?"
I would seriously have to give this question some thought. As I and my Mom and brother are all disabled and in wheelchairs, I guess there would not be a lot of options open for us. I would like to hide the stash I have already acquired. I already live in the boonies. I guess just pray to Yahweh and hope that he is in charge.
For those of you that entered and missed out, I have some special news. Early next month I will be holding another A. American giveaway, this time for three books, including Escaping Home! Watch for an announcement on December 7th.
Reminder: You can use the "Print Friendly" button at the bottom of each article to print a nice clean copy without graphics. It looks like this:

Can I really say finally? Thanks to the generous proof-reading efforts of a number of BDS readers and especially Sandra (you know who you are), the final edits to The Prepper's Guide to Food Storage are complete and I am sending the eBook up to Amazon for their blessing this week.
Next week this time it should be available for purchase. And hint hint wink wink. It will make a wonderful holiday gift to yourself and your Prepper friends.
Speaking of the holidays, I do have a holiday gift guide coming out this year. I struggled with it, primarily because I hate the commercialism of the holidays. On the other hand, I really do want to point you in the right direction, especially in stocking stuffer department.
Related to that, it seems that everyone has their hands out these days, website wise. If I see one more of those nefarious ads for "Power Companies Hate This" or "37 Things to Hoard" and the like, I will scream. These ads pop up everywhere and seem directly related to my web browsing. I hate that!
Have you noticed that Backdoor Survival does not pop-up any ads related to your previous web browsing? There are no annoying "subscribe now" pop-ups, no cookie tracking, no nothing. Oh – and I never make a plea for donations. I won't ask for and will not accept donations of any type. You local food bank or your church or temple could use your donation if you choose to make one.
I have lots of giveaways this month and next – probably more than I can handle – but somehow I will get them all in. My apologies in advance if I have more giveaways than articles but those reviews, if they are honest, do take time. We will just have to see how it goes. Want to see the booty? See Backdoor Survival Winter Blast Giveaway.
For those of you that only check in on Sunday's, have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.
What about you – what did you do to prep this week? Until, next time, remember to make every day a prep day!
Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation!

Bargain Bin: For your discernment, here are of some items mentioned today as well as some personal and BDS reader favorites and items from the current Amazon Top 10.
ZAQ Dew Aromatherapy Diffuser: This essential oil diffuser uses water and essential oils to make make a mist of micro-particles and disperse them into the air. No heating or burning means the properties of the oil are not broken down.Low energy use. The really cool thing is that the light (which can be turned off) changes colors all by its own self. Very soothing and I love it!
Bear Creek Country Kitchens Navy Bean Soup Mix: These are not as good a deal as the sale price at my local drugstore but worth a peek anyway. These soups are great tasting and good to have on hand for emergencies. All you need to do is add water.
Blocklite Ultra Bright 9V LED Flashlight: I now own six of these little gems. There is a similar flashlight called the Pak-Lite (which is more expensive) but it does not have a high-low switch like this one. These little flashlights just go and go, plus, they make good use of those re-purposed 9V alkaline batteries that you have recharged with your Maximal Power FC999 Universal Battery Charger.
FordEx Group 300lm Mini Cree Led Flashlight Torch Adjustable Focus Zoom Light Lamp: Here we go with another flashlight. It is super mini sized, bright and waterproof. Plus, it uses a single, standard AA sized battery.
Morakniv Craftline Q Allround Fixed Blade Utility Knife: Also known as the Mora 511, this is now my favorite knife. It is made of Swedish steel and is super sharp.
LifeStraw Personal Water Filter: The LifeStraw is considered the most advanced, compact, ultra light personal water filter available. It contains no chemicals or iodinated resin, no batteries and no moving parts to break or wear out. It weighs only 2oz. making it perfect for the prepper. For more information, see my LifeStraw review.
Magnesium Fire Starter: This Campers' Magnesium Emergency Fire Starter.
UCO Stormproof Match Kit with Waterproof Case, 25 Stormproof Matches and 3 Strikers: The UCO Stormproof Match Kit is waterproof and holds 25 matches as well as spare strikers. The matches burn for around 15 seconds and are windproof, waterproof, and even continue burning underwater. An integrated striker is attached on the side of the match kit, and can be replaced when worn out.
2 Pack Survival Kit Can Opener, Military, P-51 Model: These can openers makes great addition to any survival, fishing, hiking, or camping pack. They are lightweight and robust and they just work.

For a while there's been (unsubstantiated) talk about Universal possibly rebooting its many classic monster movie franchises (Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.) to form a cohesive cinematic universe - going back to when powerhouse duo Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci got involved with projects like The Mummy and the Van Helsing reboot. Well, over the months since Orci hinted that this is indeed the plan, he and Kurtzman parted ways as working partners, which left the state of Universal's monster movie plans in question.
Deadline, however, is now reporting that Kurtzman and Chris Morgan - writer/producer on the Fast and the Furious property since the mid-2000s and co-writer on last year's 47 Ronin (both for Universal) - have been tapped by Universal, to serve as the architects on a rebooted classic monster universe. To be exact, one where the installments are put together in a "cohesive, connected way" rather than as "projects by disparate filmmaking teams" - possibly even a Shared Cinematic Universe (a la Marvel Studios' superhero films), by the sound of it.
Franchises are hot commodities in Hollywood right now, and Universal is doing its part to keep up in that game; next year, for example, the studio will release new Fast and the Furious and Jurassic Park installments (no crossovers, unfortunately...), along with the Despicable Me franchise spinoff, Minions, and a handful of sequels to recent hit original intellectual properties (see: Ted 2, Pitch Perfect 2). In other words, rebooting the classic monsters franchise reads as being a natural continuation of that strategy (though, it's probably not music to the ears of film buff who're hoping for something a little more outside the box and innovative from the studio).
The problem, however, is that most of the aforementioned iconic monster properties are now in the public domain, so Universal will have to compete with other studios that're putting modernized spins on old classic creatures. Universal, as it were, has the Dracula origins film Dracula Untold arriving in October - though it's actually the Mummy reboot (scheduled for 2016) that is going to serve as the beginning of the new Cinematic Universe - but 20th Century Fox will be first to put a new spin on the Frankenstein mythology (no, this year's I, Frankenstein doesn't count), with the film Victor Frankenstein in Fall 2015.
Hence, Universal is moving quickly to get this monster universe off the ground; in addition to having Kurtzman and Morgan plan out "an interconnected slate of Monster films," the studio (according to Deadline) has the pair of writer/producers onboard to oversee such matters as production and marketing. On top of all that, both Kurtzman and Morgan will be re-assessing in-development projects that have "preexisting attachments," such as the currently-directorless Mummy reboot and the Invisible Man reboot that David S. Goyer had been developing (though, it's been nearly three years without an update on that Goyer venture, so...).
It remains to be seen if Kurtzman and/or Morgan contribute to the writing on any of these classic monster reboots, given their other commitments. Personally, I would prefer to see them recruit either up and coming and/or less-mainstream filmmakers to handle the tasks of writing/directing these movies instead, a la Marvel Studios - and what Lucasfilm is now doing with Star Wars. That way, Kurtzman and Morgan would be serving as intermediaries between studio executives and the artists striving to realize their visions for resurrecting properties like Creature From the Black Lagoon and so forth, on the big screen.
Does the prospect of Universal rebooting its many classic monster properties to form a Cinematic Universe sound intriguing to you? Or are you already more than satisfied with getting your iconic creature fix from other sources (Showtime's Penny Dreadful TV series, for example)?

In Venice, an ugly fish makes a lovely meal
- |
VENICE - At the restaurant Antica Locanda Montin, owner Luca Carrettin is extremely animated as he talks about monkfish. Even if you don't speak Italian, some of the words he uses are understandable, like brutta (ugly), which he calls the fish, and fantastico, which he uses to describe the creature's means of luring its prey with antennae that look like bait.
Carrettin's parents and aunts and uncles opened the restaurant and 12-room guesthouse in 1950 when he was a boy. Today, he runs the inn with his sister and a cousin. From the looks of old photos scattered among the paintings inside, the rambling building and enormous garden don't seem to have changed much since the family went into business. Montin's monkfish entree hasn't changed for at least 30 years. My mother flipped over it in 1979 on our first trip to Italy.
Ugly fish, lazy fish, poor man's lobster. These are the phrases you commonly hear about to describe mild-tasting, firm, and delicious fish. It's the grotesque look of monkfish, the meaty texture of its boneless tail, and its lazy way of luring prey into its enormous mouth that spawn such epitaphs. Americans didn't eat much monkfish until 1980, around the time Julia Child introduced us to a hulking specimen on one of her TV shows. But it's been popular in Italy for much longer than that.
Carrettin draws a picture of the fish, which is sometimes displayed on ice in the windows of restaurants here. It has a big, wide head and mouth that make up half its length and a body and tail that are proportionately puny. Montin's kitchen removes the backbone, chops the tail in half lengthwise, seasons it with salt, pepper, and olive oil, and grills it. Ironically, the grill marks make it look very much like Atlantic lobster. And although it has earned a reputation in America as poor man's lobster - because the texture of its meaty boneless tail is closer to lobster than to other fish - it is not as chewy nor does it taste like lobster. It has a more mild, neutral flavor.
All of which makes monkfish versatile.
Across town in a quiet area of Venice near its north shore, Tony Serantoni, owner of Trattoria Storica, throws open the doors to his restaurant's dining room to find a quiet place to talk. Serantoni opened this trattoria nearly six years ago, and he is the man behind its good food. I have just eaten his terrific monkfish with polenta. The dish consists of 1-inch chunks of springy monkfish tail in a spicy sauce, served on top of a soupy polenta. It is flavored with lots of fresh herbs, white wine, tiny red chili peppers, and cooked with the backbone of the monkfish. The bone flavors the dish in much the same way a ham bone might; the fish bone is solid enough to throw in and take out of the dish before serving.
Serantoni buys monkfish at the central fish market, sticking to the smaller ones that weigh a few pounds. Monkfish is available in all sizes; larger ones are hard to come by and more costly, but prized for their cheeks, which are also edible.
When I learn this, I suddenly realize that what I'd eaten at an expensive restaurant in Rome earlier that week must have been monkfish cheeks. At Rome's Antica Pesa, an order of monkfish amounted to three tiny pieces not much bigger than silver dollars. If they hadn't been served on individual mounds of tiny lentils, the $35 entree would have been laughably insufficient for even the lightest eater. Because the texture of the fish was slightly different from the monkfish tail I've always had, I was suspicious that I hadn't been served monkfish at all.
Now I'm quite sure that Antica Pesa was, in fact, plating the more prized fish cheeks.
Some sophisticated diner I am: No Italian restaurant is going to pull anything over on me.

It's Day 2 of my Spring Break, which does NOT coincide with my kid's break. That means I have a list a mile long of sewing projects to work on and an empty house for the entire day! BUT, in honor of the April 1st holiday, my sly little 8 year old son locked my sewing room door before he left for school. Thankfully, it was the Internet (and a tiny screwdriver, after pins and skewers didn't do the trick) to the rescue, and I have regained possession of my work room.
Clearly, the only thing to do is relock the door at the end of the day and complain loudly and pitifully that I couldn't sew the whole day!
