Move over lemons, there's a new saying in town: "When life gives you cucumbers, make pickles!"
Now I don't know about you, but even though I adore pickles, I don't need more than one normal-size jar in my fridge at any given time. For me, that's about a pint. And it's usually PLENTY, especially since it's just myself and my fiancee eating them. I can only think of a handful of occasions in which we would need pickles over the course of the couple of weeks that they're good for… we use them primarily as quick-bite snacks, but also in lunch lettuce wraps and for burger/sandwich toppings. Needless to say, we certainly don't need liter-size jars of pickles laying around!
So here's a recipe for exactly ONE pint-size jar of classic, homemade dill pickles. And it's so easy, you'll never buy the store-bought kind again.
First, slice up one crunchy-skinned cucumber. Make the slices thin, about 1/8 inch. Put the slices in your jar. Then, add a wee bit of kosher salt, some freshly chopped dill, and the vinegar. If you're itchin' for something a bit "more" than regular ol' dill, now's the time to toss in some minced garlic, crushed red pepper, or any other herbs and spices that strike your fancy!
Now put the lid on…
…and shake it, baby! Shake whatchya garden gave ya!! ;)
Your goal is to distribute all that salt, dill, and vinegar so your pickles are evenly seasoned. I find it's easier to use a large Pyrex container to give the slices some space to move around while being shaken, and then I transfer them to a pint-size jar the next day. But you can totally do it all in the final jar, provided it's big enough for the shaking part. Heck, you don't even need a jar, just leave them in the Pyrex if you want!
Don't worry about how minimal the amount of liquid in the jar looks; the cucumbers will add some to it as they release their own moisture. Also, be aware that the liquid level will never cover the pickles entirely. But take a deep breath and relax… it's okay!
Now put the jar in your fridge, right in the front, where it's impossible to miss. And every time you open the fridge for the next few hours, give it a good shake.
Six to eight hours later, feel free to enjoy your freshly pickled slicers! And trust me, they only taste better with time!
Share your thoughts… how do you like your pickles seasoned?
- 1 large crunchy-skinned cucumber (such as a Kirby)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 2 tsp chopped fresh dill
- ½ cup distilled white vinegar
- Slice your cucumbers super thin, approximately ⅛ inch. Put them in any glass jar that has a lid (at least pint-size, but can be larger). Add the salt, dill, and vinegar. Put the lid on the jar, and shake it up to mix everything together.
- Put the jar in the refrigerator, but be sure to come back to shake it a few times over the next several hours. (Storing it in plain sight is a good idea, so that you see it every time you open the 'fridge... then you won't forget!)
- For best results, wait at least 8 hours before eating.
- Store in the refrigerator in their sealed jar for up to 3 weeks.

By: 1moosey , 12:36 AM GMT on February 17, 2009
I just read Dr. Jeff Masters Wunderblog on Global Warming. His blog is always very interesting and informative. Dr. Masters reported the lowest temp ever recorded in the state of Maine a -50 degree reading taken on January 16. It apparently occurred at 7:15 am at a remote river gauge in Big Black River about four miles form the Canadian border.
I think the lowest temp ever recorded in California was -45 degrees in a town called Boca. The town lies at an elevation of 5,532 feet. I heard that snow can fall at a rate of 5 feet per hour. I wonder about that stat - seems pretty high to me.
Dr. Master goes on to say that an impressive cold wave hit the northern and eastern portions of the United States in January. If global warming is occurring we should not expect to see very many all-time city or state cold records being set.
But does this mean that Global Warming is not occurring - I think Global Warming is occurring. I operate a farm, and to me, the weather cycles at least in California have changed over last few years. I know that we have a critical shortage of water where I am as evidenced by water restrictions. I heard that some farmers in California had to chose between irrigating the Almonds or the alfalfa but not enough water for both. This seems to get worse every year. Maybe there should be some money from the bail out to help water districts.
Do you think there is global warming. You can vote on Dr. Masters blog or right here if you desire.
Comments will take a few seconds to appear.

Not only will you be able to leave comments on this blog, but you'll also have the ability to upload and share your photos in our Wunder Photos section.

Ortiz leads Red Sox to 20-4 romp over Tigers
BOSTON One after another, the baseballs cleared the fences at Fenway Park - a franchise record-tying eight home runs in all for the Boston Red Sox.
And David Ortiz led the way.
The Red Sox DH homered twice and he also doubled for his 2,000th career hit on Wednesday night to lead the Red Sox to a 20-4 romp over the Detroit Tigers.
"I've never really seen that many happy faces in the dugout at the same time," said Ortiz, who was one of a franchise-record seven different Red Sox batters to homer in the game. "It was like lighting a firework. ... I see everybody happy. It's like the fireworks just keep on coming."
Boston pulled away in an eight-run sixth inning when Will Middlebrooks hit a grand slam, Ortiz had an RBI double to reach 2,000 and Daniel Nava added a two-run homer. Ortiz homered again in the five-run seventh - the 427th of his career to move past Billy Williams and into 47th on baseball's all-time home run list.
"Congratulations to David. That's a heck of a milestone," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "I'm sure the Red Sox fans are proud of him and he's proud of himself. He's had a wonderful career and he's popular here. A very kind man, really. I'm very happy for him. It came against the wrong team, but that's OK."
AL East-leading Boston has won nine of 11, taking two out of three from the Central-leading Tigers to hold onto the best record in the league. After scores of 3-0 and 2-1 in the first two games of the series, the Red Sox burst out with a franchise record-tying eight homers and a season-high 20 runs.
Jacoby Ellsbury, Stephen Drew, Mike Napoli and Ryan Lavarnway also homered as the Red Sox turned a game that was tied 4-4 after four innings into a blowout.
"Just a rare and outstanding offensive night tonight," said Red Sox manager John Farrell, who had Shane Victorino steal second in the fifth inning to try to get the go-ahead run in scoring position. "You think at that point you're looking to somewhat manufacture a run any way you can. Little did we know it would turn out like it did. ... We had no idea of what was about to take place shortly after that."
Ryan Dempster (8-9) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks in six innings, striking out seven to win his second straight start since he was suspended for five games for intentionally hitting New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez.
The Red Sox open a four-game series with the Yankees in New York on Thursday night.
Rick Porcello (11-8) gave up nine runs - eight of them earned - on seven hits and four walks in five-plus innings. He allowed three homers, Al Alburquerque gave up two, Jeremy Bonderman allowed two and Evan Reed gave up one.
"That was pretty ugly," Leyland said. "Obviously we just didn't a good job of keeping the ball in the ballpark. The Green Monster's one thing, but you normally don't see them going out to right field like that. They were hitting them out like ping pong balls."
Ortiz homered in the fourth to tie the game 4-all, then added an RBI double in the sixth for hit No. 2,000. He waved his batting helmet as he stood on second base while the crowd cheered and home plate umpire Jeff Kellogg helped the Red Sox dugout retrieve the ball.
Ortiz homered the next time up, prompting another standing ovation from the crowd at Fenway Park. The fans remained on their feet until he popped out of the dugout for a curtain call.

For a better understanding of lifetime measurements and to achieve a better comparability between different measuring methods, it is necessary to perform simulations.
The numerical tool is based on a generalized rate equation system, which is solved for all possible transitions between the defect levels in the forbidden gap and the bands of a semiconductor. The only approximation is that no interactions between defect levels are included. This is a valid approximation, since the defect concentrations in silicon are typically low.
The applied rate equation system describes the time dependent change of carrier concentrations in the conduction and valence band, as well as in defect levels. In this equation system the optical and thermal generation rates, the band to band and Auger recombination rates and the carrier capture and emission rates from all defects (Cj, Dj, Ej, Fj) are included. The transition rates are described without any approximations.
The measurement of thick samples as bricks leads to new questions and problems. One of these questions is how the carrier profiles that develop in a sample effect the lifetime measurements. To solve this problem, we developed a simulation tool for the simulation of carrier profiles. This tool consists of a partial differential equation system of the transport equations for electrons and holes and the Poisson equation.
The simulations for measurements with a long (typical MDP condition) or a very short light pulse (typical µ-PCD conditions) at thick unpassivated samples are shown in figure 1 and 2. It becomes clear, that the carrier profile of a long light pulse expands through a large volume of the sample, where as the carrier profile of the only 200 ns long light pulse is very surface near. This has a direct effect on the measured lifetime, since the surface recombination has a much stronger effect on the µ-PCD measurements.

Depending on how rural your neighborhood is, you may have been able to get your neighbors ticketed for not shutting their dogs up. Most cities have noise laws, especially after 10 pm or so.
Bring back the Sig Test!
Yes but that's mean and that creates disrupt. That would be like me reporting my neigbhors for smoking pot so bad i can smell it all the way over here. "Sure" i could report it but then everybody would know about it and everybody would give me dirty looks and . Well yeah I've been down that road beforeOriginally Posted by Michigander

If you get lonesome, I'll send my dogs over to your neighborhood.
Dead last finish is better than did not finish and infinitely better than did not start.
i know the feeling. i love dogs but the barking can drive you crazy. in college i had a great dog but every time i'd ride off to go to class he would bark. i could hear him barking for a while too. i was at a lose on how to get him to stop doing that. i'm sure the neighbors hated it.
I hate whining neighbors.They wanna pee & moan about everything (like barking dogs,yard cosmetics & the like) then when you keep the dogs quite & then they get burglarized or have something stolen from their backyard or garage, then they have something else to moan abbout
Heh.. We have a couple of pee & moan neighbors & being in somewhat of a rough neighborhood that's not good. What one sees is not always what one tells

Can a dog owner please explain to me why people
shouldnt be pissed at your dog assaulting peoples
quality of life ?? If I want to hear all of that noise
Ill move next door to a bunch of bikers or buy my own
dog. I bet if I aimed my 50 watt Marshall amp at your
house and played it at 11 whenever I felt like it needed
to be played you would be annoyed. I also have observed
most of you people who carry the little bag and spoon around
dont really pick up the mess unless you see someone is looking.
Guess what....people you dont see are looking.
Barking dogs are most often neglected dogs. Always had dogs growing up, and I can't remember any of them barking for nothing. IMO, complaints are legitimized.
Along goes mowers and chainsaws, and ATVs/snowmobiles, etc. at unsociable day/times. Don't some people love making noise?
None of that nonsense where we live now, thank god!
Here I was thinking Chocolate...but this is about dog oh well.
You that whine should feel very seriously lucky thou does not live near us,you would have a VERY hard time existing here in the neighborhood
No! Not ALL complaints are NOT legitimized. Some people live on whining & complaining.Originally Posted by Cycliste

alls i am reffering to is about people that think the world revolves & should be adjusted around them.
I have been awoken at 7:30 am sunday morning by the music of Chainsaws & i don't complain about it or even give it a 2nd thought.I HATE whiners & people that think their crap don't stink.
So you think that because you dont like whiners you have a right
to make other peoples lives miserable ?? Rules of common sense and
civility dont apply to you ?
How about this.....
Oh...ok, I get itOriginally Posted by sngltrackdufus
Well...it's hard to call the cops on a cop. My neighbor is a police officer. Have to admit it made me "feel" a bit safer having a police car parked next door.
But I would never actually call the cops on a barking dog. I mean, really...they are dogs, that's what they do. Now if you were playing your thumpitty thump music at midnight keeping my family awake, then I would walk over in my pj's and politely ask you to lower the volume. Something of which you have control over.
Anywhoo...I would love to move to the country as suggested, but there ain't much country around these parts...'cept the music maybe!!
Oh...and I KNOW my S*!$ stinks...just ask my hubby
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.

I would have to disagree 100% with this. Its in a dogs nature to bark. The same way cats meow if they want something.Originally Posted by Cycliste
It may be a dog's nature to bark, but so is crapping and peeing in the house. We train dogs to do the things we want them to do and NOT to do the things that annoy us.
We have always had dogs and never have we tolerated incessant barking. I don't know how some dog owners can stand it. They will bark when someone approaches the house. Once they've alerted us, we tell them to hush and they do.
That's gonna leave a mark.
for sure. but if a dog is not trained not to bark, then it doesnt mean that it is neglected.Originally Posted by MMACH 5
i never leave my dog outside when there is nobody in the house. Even if we are in the house and we hear him barking outside at a bird or a passer by, then we tell him to shut up, he usually does, but if he doesnt we bring him back into the house.
Dogs are nothing compared to jerks with loud music. There were some down the street that had it up so loud that when I went and pounded on the door (As in hard enough the door shook and moved over an inch) they did not even hear it. I was thinking of getting the dogs and then kicking their door down but decided it was time for the police instead.Originally Posted by cycleprincess
house parties are pretty annoying too, especially when punk as$ kids thinks its funny to chuck beer bottles onto your grass or even put them behind your back tire....Originally Posted by Keith99
You aren't kidding! I came out once to find a guy peeing on our van's tire.Originally Posted by free_pizza
Holy crap! I was so bent. If he hadn't turned and split as soon as I started cursing him out, I probably would have kicked the tar out of him.
That's gonna leave a mark.
I've removed a few bottles from behind my neighbors' tires.Originally Posted by free_pizza

Let's Get Real Folks – Donald Driver Should Win Tonight On Dancing With The Stars
May 22, 2012 09:00 AM by Lisa Princ
The season finale of ABC's Dancing with the Stars kicked off last night as the final three tackled their final performances for your votes. While it's been fun to watch Katherine Jenkins rock her naughty bits, and William Levy shake his hot behind, it's time to get real. And the real truth is that Donald Driver should be the finalist who walks away with the mirror ball trophy tonight. Why? Read on to find out!
This season has been one of the best ever on Dancing With The Stars, but it's time to come out of the bubble and get real here. Katherine Jenkins has been impressive all season long, as has William Levy, but honestly, these two have gotten better scores at times than either of them deserved. What makes Donald Driver stand out? That's easy – because he is the most improved of the three. When Donald first took the dance floor, he was just another football player, and he has evolved into a dancing fool, with lots of effort (and of course some help from Peta Murgatroyd). Isn't that the point of the show, to improve each week?
And to be completely honest here, when the cast announcement was made this season, many folks were shocked by some of the names, including William Levy and Katherine Jenkins. I mean, isn't the name of the show Dancing With The Stars? Yet, most of us here in the United States had never even heard of these two. Now, don't get me wrong here, they are both phenomenal dancers, but with Katherine Jenkins being born in Wales, wouldn't she have made a better fit on the British version of the show? As for William Levy, shaking your bon bon (which we certainly do not mind watching) can only get you so far.
With all that in mind, it's a no-brainer that NFL star, Donald Driver should win America's votes hands down and take home the mirror ball trophy tonight. What do you think?

text: Home Culture Fox News Suspends Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum Fox News decides not to give the appearance of impropriety. By: Nsenga Burton Posted: March 2 2011 3:36 PM 0 Fox News suspends Newt Gingrich. Yahoo is reporting that Fox News has suspended the contracts of Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum for 60 days. Fox News said in September that if any of its paid contributors -- such as Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum -- decided to run for president, the network would sever their lucrative deals. Recent speculation that Gingrich might form a presidential exploratory committee raised questions about whether his airtime on Fox could be considered a campaign contribution. Fox News anchor Bret Baier said Wednesday on air that "on May 1, their contracts will be terminated unless they notify Fox they are not running for president." Some say the move was prompted by CNN's John King, who looked at all the potential Republican candidates who have been paid by Fox News in a segment on Monday. Suspending Gingrich and Santorum before they have officially formed presidential exploratory committees suggests that it is already in the works. Who on the Fox payroll is next? Palin, Huckabee? Time is ticking and time will tell. Read more at Yahoo. Check out John King's CNN segment below: In other news: Serena Williams Hospitalized. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

Family Law
Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
-Could you explain your situation a little more?Are there any court orders in effect with respect to custody, visitation or child support at this time?
Have you acknowledged paternity on the birth certificate or in any court of law?
No court orders or visitation are in affect at this time. I have been voluntarily paying $250/month in child support for over a year, despite my sons mother requesting that I not pay.
Paternity is established on the birth certificate.
I have not seen my son in 7 months.
Dear JACUSTOMER - The jurisdiction over the child will be in the family law court in the county where the child resides so that is where you will have to file your case for your paternal rights. You have an equal right to your child as does the mother but in the cases of small children the mother will normally get custody and the father visitation especially in a situation such as this. Since you live far away I doubt you could visit every other weekend so the court will set up visitation for a long distance situation meaning several weeks at a time and a week at the holidays etc. You will be required to pay child support based on the respective incomes of the parties so I cannot say that what you have been paying will be the same under the court guidelines. Once you file your motion the court will set the matter for a hearing. I would strongly suggest that, if possible, you obtain a local attorney in the county where the case is to be filed. This can get complicated and, while you are entitled to your rights there can be complications when you get into a court case, especially if the mother has legal counsel. I have provided below the website for the Bar Association who you can contact for a referral to an attorney if you choose to do so.

The good news is that Dow Chemical was finally able to renegotiate its Rohm & Haas purchase. The bad news is that Dow still has to pay $78 per share to finance the purchase but did get Rohm & Haas' two biggest shareholders to invest 3 billion dollars in Dow. Dow's two biggest shareholders will receive 2.5 billion in preferred stock and invest another 500 million in the company. Investors were obviously not impressed as Dow's stock was driven down to $5.87 in after hours trading. Dow still has to sell off assets, issue more debt and cut jobs just to complete the Rohm & Haas deal by April 1st. Analysts estimate that 20 cents per share of Dow's earnings will be used to pay off interest payments on the newly issued preferred stock alone. The only winner in the newly reached agreement are Rohm & Haas shareholders. Dow shareholders will still be feeling the pain for years to come.
Dow Chemical Renegotiates Deal
Market Update
Dow Chemical (DOW) dropped to $6.50 today. I am now convinced that if the Rohm & Haas deal is completed that Dow will not be a viable company. It is finally in Rohm & Haas best interest to negotiate a lower price. If the deal is completed Dow will be running to the government for funding.
Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B) Class B shares are looking cheap. Berkshire is one of the few AAA rated companies left. Plus you get the opportunity to invest with the world's greatest investor for $2,300.
I am adding more Nike (NKE) stock to my long term portfolio. Great balance sheet and the stock is trading at just over $39 per share. Nike has no debt problems and does not rely on borrowing to fund operations.
I have not bought any Microsoft (MSFT) stock in years but at roughly $15 a share I am willing to buy again.
Bleak News
AIG announced the biggest quarterly loss in the history of the US. AIG lost nearly 62 billion last quarter.
Citigroup looks like it is going to break below $1 per share. It's time for Citigroup to be nationalized. it's not Pandit's fault but I don't see how he can keep his job with the stock in free fall. Can Citi lure any other highly successful competent executive to take this job right now?
General Electric shares dropped below $8 for the first time since 1993.
Dow Chemical dropped to $7 and Dow is trying to sell off its agribusiness to stay afloat. Dow may be the first company to go belly up after completing a merger. The Rohm & Haas purchase is forcing Dow to sell its most valuable assets just to complete the deal.
Citigroup is down to $1.50 a share amid an agreement with the Federal government to convert 25 billion in preferred stock to common stock. Citi also announced that they will not be paying a dividend. There is no reason whatsoever to own Citigroup stock. The stock is worthless. if you want to see Dow's future, look at AIG.
Dow Chemical (DOW) sank below $7.20 today. Every day it seems like Dow Chemical sets a new low. Dow needs to eliminate its dividend altogether to save capital.
Dow Chemical's Dividend Cut Is Not Enough
Dow Chemical finally cut its dividend for the first time in almost 100 years. Dow is cutting it dividend by 64% from 1.68 cents to 60 cents. This is a good first step to improving the company's cash position but the dividend cut may not be enough. Unless Dow receives a significant cash injection it is unlikely that Dow will be able to pay the 15 cent per share quarterly dividend through 2009. Dow's dividend payout is still too high. Analysts are expecting a terrible 2009 for the entire basic chemicals sector. Dow's earnings to come in between 61 and 67 cents per share for 2009. Dow has only a few options left if forced to raise cash.
Dow's best option is to find a new partner to revive the joint venture in which the Kuwaiti government has backed out of. Dow is actively searching for companies that have the capital to facilitate such a deal. Analysts say that Dow needs about 7 billion dollars to close the Rohm & Haas deal and maintain its credit rating. Dow is finding it extremely difficult to find a partner in the worst economic environment in 75 years.
Another option is to sell off the most profitable areas of the company to generate cash. Dow could sell its profitable agricultural business, Dow AgroSciences. According to an article in the Detroit Free Press "Dow could raise as much as $10 billion by selling both Dow AgroSciences, which makes pesticides and develops genetically modified seeds, and its 50% stake in Dow Corning Corp., the world's biggest silicone supplier, according to analysts at HSBC Securities and Sanford C. Bernstein & Co." The sale of AgroScriences would hinder Dow's long term growth prospects but it would help fill short term liquidity needs. An asset sale would take time and Dow is already paying 3 million dollars for every day that the Rohm & Haas deal is not completed.
The third option is to sell more common stock. This would be a risky move as the stock is already trading in the single digits and any additional equity offerings would reduce existing shareholders equity. But Dow may not have a choice. Dow cannot issue any more debt because the company is already facing a possible ratings downgrade from investment grade to junk status due to the Rohm & Haas deal. Dow should look at suspending its common stock dividend until the company resolves all of its financial problems.
Whatever option Dow chooses CEO Andrew Liveris is likely a goner. He overpaid for a company that he could have gotten for a much cheaper price and he cut the dividend after assuring investors that a dividend reduction would not take place. He also could have done an equity offering in December to make sure that Dow had sufficient capital to complete the deal. Dow Chemical would have faced a challenging 2009 despite the Rohm & Haas deal but the CEO's moves have placed the company in peril.
Market News
Dow Chemical (DOW) dropped to the single digits today. The stock is currently trading at $9.70. Dow's market cap is down to 9 billion and is facing financial problems. Everyone agrees that Dow should renegotiate the deal with Rohm & Haas but there is no reason for Rohm & Haas to renegotiate. It appears highly likely that the courts will force Dow to go through with its 15 billion dollar purchase of Rohm & Haas. Rohm & Haas is also being paid 3 million dollars a day until the deal is completed. This may be a win for Dow but if the merger is completed it may be a losing situation for all of the employees of the combined companies.
As expected Harley Davidson (HOG) cuts its dividend from 33 cents a share to 10 cents. The 70% dividend cut should save the company about 210 million in much needed cash.
Research in Motion (RIMM) is down to $49 a share after dropping over $10 yesterday. The stock is still a little too expensive for my tastes but a decline to $36 might represent a nice buying opportunity.
Oil looks very cheap at the $35 level. I don't think anyone knows the exact bottom for oil prices but I feel comfortable buying at this level. I have been buying the Proshares Crude Oil ETF(UCO) for a trade. I like BP for a longer term investment.
More Dividend Cuts Coming
1. Dow Chemical
The $1.68 dividend that Dow Chemical(DOW) pays is toast. Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris caved today and admitted that a dividend cut is a definite possibility. This is a change in tune from Liveris who defiantly defended the dividend after the collapse of the Kuwaiti deal. In the beginning of January, Liveris stated that, "Dow is the only company in the Fortune 200 to have paid its regular quarterly cash dividend without reduction or interruption since 1912. That is 388 consecutive quarters. I have said it before, but I want to say it again, we will not break that streak. Not Dow, not on my watch." These words will likely cost Liveris his job.
CBS Corporation(CBS) has an extremely high dividend yield which is currently approaching 16.6%. This is way too high at a time when traditional media companies are experiencing significantly declines in ad revenue. CBS is seeing 25% drops in television and radio station ratio. Approximately 70 percent of CBS's revenue is tied to advertising sales. The current dividend of $1.08 is higher than the expected earnings for 2009 of $.86.
3. Harley Davidson
Harley Davidson(HOG) will soon be faced with paying its dividend or staying in business. The company's dividend yield is 11.5% at a time when the company is down to less than 600 million in cash. The current payout rate is over 50% of estimated earnings for 2009. Harley can save over 300 million in cash by cutting the dividend.
4. Newell Rubbermaid
I expect that Newell(NWL) will cut the dividend when they announce earnings this week. Newell currently pays out 75% of earnings in the form of dividends to shareholders. Newell is trying to preserve cash wherever possible through layoffs, salary feezes and factory closings. With over 2 billion in debt and a few hundred million in cash, a dividend cut appears likely.
Dow Chemical Update
Dow Chemical(DOW) announced that they will seek legal action against the Kuwaiti government for the cancellation of the DowK joint venture. Dow is hoping to recover about 2.5 billion dollars to help in financing its Rohm & Haas acquisition. Dow is expected to pay over 100 million per month in fees for not completing the Rohm & Haas deal by January 10th. While 100 million dollars is nothing to sneeze at, this is a smart move by Dow because they can use the extra time to negotiate a lower price for Rohm & Haas. Dow Chemical can save billions by getting Rohm & Haas to take a significantly reduced buyout in the 50's. I continue to hold Dow shares and believe that the shares have bottomed as evidenced by the price rebound despite the current challenges.
Added Shares of Dow Chemical
Added 100 more shares of Dow Chemical(DOW) at $15.29 per share.
Dow Chemical
Started a small position of 400 shares in Dow Chemical(DOW) at $15.36. Dow is trading close to its 52 week low and has seen its stock drop 25 percent this week alone for the following reasons:
– Dow's 17.4 billion dollar joint venture with the Kuwaiti government was canceled.
– Dow is on the hook for its $78 per share acquisition of Rohm and Haas.
– Dow may face a debt ratings downgrade if the deal is completed.
– Dow was downgraded today by analysts who placed a $15 price target on the stock.
I think that most of the bad news seems to baked into the stock price. I like the stock at the $15 level and the dividend yield is currently 11.10%. Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris has vowed not to cut the dividend. According to Liveris, "Dow is the only company in the Fortune 200 to have paid its regular quarterly cash dividend without reduction or interruption since 1912. That is 388 consecutive quarters. I have said it before, but I want to say it again, we will not break that streak. Not Dow, not on my watch."
I still expect a dividend cut and this would likely cost Liveris his job. But even if the dividend is cut in half, Dow's stock would still yield a healthy 5.5%. The pending bankruptcy of LyondellBasell, Dow's biggest competitor, should only strengthen Dow's long term position in the industry. The Rohm & Haas deal should improve operational efficiency and cut costs in the future. If Dow can negotiate a lower price for Rohm & Haas than I expect that it shares would rebound in the near term.

Physicians may have to rethink prescribing SSRIs to their patients who are over the age of 50.
Three studies appearing in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggest a link between the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors--including Prozac, Paxil, Lexapro, and Zoloft--and an increase in fractures in both men and women over 50.
"Because depression itself is associated with an increased risk for bone loss in older people, a better understanding of the impact of antidepressants on bone is urgently needed," wrote Kenneth Saag in "Mind the Mind, but Mind the Bones!" in the June 25 issue of journal. The report also noted that depression affects as many as 40 percent of adults over 55. Saag's concern regarding prescribing SSRIs was echoed by a second report noting that the use of SSRIs was associated with an increased rate of bone loss in the hip in women (average age at onset was 78.5). This same study noted that bone loss did not occur with the use of TCAs, or tricyclics, an older class of antidepressants.
But there's a catch. Unfortunately, simply switching patients to TCAs may not be the answer.
"Because of concerns about the arrhythmogenic potential of TCAs, there is a strong preference for SSRIs in older adults in whom depression commonly coincides with heart disease," Saag writes.
To add to the confusion, the mechanism behind SSRIs and bone loss has not been clearly identified. Recent studies have shown a direct link between calcium consumption and bone formation in pre-adolescents, which begs the question of whether younger patients taking SSRI have an increased lifetime risk for bone loss.
Manufacturers of SSRIs will no doubt consider this dilemma and the economic fallout from this research.
"While Lilly supports efforts to learn more about this class of medications, due to the inherent, uncontrolled variables between the SSRI user and non-user groups, a causal relationship cannot be established between SSRI use and bone loss," said Charles McAtee, spokesman for Eli Lilly.
"The current Prozac product label lists 'osteoporosis' as an adverse event occurring on a rare basis--less than 1 in 10,000 patients, based upon data from clinical trials. Decisions concerning the potential risk vs. benefit of using any medication should be made with the advice of a physician who is well-informed about the patient's medical history. As a side note, many studies show that osteoporosis and depression often coexist," McAtee added.

Daily Round-Up For November 6, 2013
Hello pretty people! Welcome to the Daily Round-Up, redOrbit's one and only collection of all the latest and greatest music news of the day. Let's get to work!
Broken Bells, the ever-popular collaboration between The Shins's James Mercer and producer-extraordinaire Danger Mouse, has released a new track for us to enjoy. Holding On For Life, the falsetto-crooning and disco-rumbling new tune, will be included on the duo's upcoming new album After The Disco, which has been confirmed due to release on January 14th. You can hear the song, along with a new interview with the band, back at NPR Music.
NPR has re-uploaded a vintage edition of their World Café series, flashing back to when the electric alternative pop band fun. stopped by to promote their record Some Nights. It feels like just yesterday when this band was taking the world by storm, and it's fun to hear the band share their music and insights again. If you want to check it out for yourself, just head back to NPR Music.
The alternative rock group Frightened Rabbit shared a new video today for their track Holy. The video is extremely well done and tells an interesting and engaging story. And the song, with its thick and dynamic guitars and drums, is pretty great too. Check them both out for yourself back at Stereogum.
Pop group CHVRCHES also put out a new video today, for their tune Lies. The video here, with its intense artistic direction, is equal parts sparse and deeply complex. Its tone also matches perfectly with the dark, entrancing synth pop CHVRCHES puts out in Lies. You can try for yourself to understand the meaning behind this video and song back at The Line of Best Fit.
The larger-than-life Australian pop band Empire of the Sun stopped by The Tonight Show with Jay Leno the other day, and from the looks of it they brought the house down. Lucky for us there is video of their performance, and you can find it back at Stereogum.
I'll leave you today with a favorite of mine. The indie rock band The National has also made an appearance on the famous Later…with Jools Holland to play a few songs from their most recent LP Trouble Will Find Me. Back at Stereogum, you can find the video of their album favorite Sea of Love. Their setup, complete with expanded live band and gorgeous lighting, made for a beautifully emotive and powerful performance. The National never disappoint, but they positively killed this performance.
And that is all the news we have for today folks! Hope you have a great day! You can check out my other articles here. Have questions, comments, suggestions, or love?

Glyn Pits is a colliery that was sunk by Capel Hanbury Leigh to provide for his Pontypool Iron and Tinplate works. The two fine engine houses, both contain their engines. The older engine house, dating from 1845 date, has an integral lattice ironwork supporting the beam engine, both being designs of the Neath Abbey Ironworks.
There are substantial pumping and winding remains - flywheel, crankshaft, gearing, sheaves and pump-rods. On the opposite (eastern) side of the two masonry-lined shafts, with a T-bob, pump-rods and fan drift is the later engine-house. This huge structure contains a, possibly second - hand vertical engine of unknown manufacture, dated 1859-65 by RCAHMW. The winding sheaves and some of the brake mechanism remain, as do wire ropes. The boiler-water reservoir is at the rear of the site. At Upper Race ST 285984 there is a vast hushing, with easily traceable water-channels and ponds above. There is a one mile long water feeder from Blaen-Bran ponds at ST 267972.

I don't mind the scar down my chest. In fact, I accept it as part of what makes me unique. It's a reminder to me on stressful days of how much strength and determination exists within. Yes, it mirrors a heart that's endured physical pain, but the healed wound also signifies an emotional and spiritual journey that's had its share of challenges.

Last night as I tried to pull my sleepy boyfriend off the couch, I realized that I might need to do more weight training. The fact that I can even consider lifting weights is a far cry from where I once was. If open heart surgery has taught me anything, it's that the numbers on the scale don't matter; being as healthy as possible is most important and should never be taken for granted.
After my first pacemaker implant, I was told that I would need a Fontan revision open heart surgery. I was 23 years old, didn't even remember my first open heart surgery, and was deeply unsettled by this news.

It's getting close to the culmination of six years of desire, frustration and agonising waits…
The London Marathon decides its entry on the basis of a ballot (at least for ordinary mortals), and after six years I'm finally in—which has given me a refocus on training plan-based running and a desire to test myself and to do it right in ways that some of my running exploits don't always allow.

A few weeks ago we got the good news that a hospital – although far from home – has agreed to evaluate me for a heart-lung transplant and see if they think they would be able to transplant me when the time comes. However, we haven't really heard from them for a few weeks now since the first time they called to talk to me about it.
At first we were told that the hospital was in-network with my insurance but now we are being told they still have to work things out with the insurance. My doctors in California gave the contact person my parent's cell phone number as well as the home phone, but there was still an issue with a missed call left on our home phone.

When I found out I was going to have open heart surgery to repair my leaking mitral valve, I was terrified. Like others in the congenital heart disease community, I grew up thinking I was cured of my original defects—the cleft in my mitral valve and atrial septal defect—and had never heard the term "congenital heart disease" applied to me before.
When the doctors told me that this term was now part of my life and surgery was necessary within the year, I was overcome with fear. Before I knew of the heart problem I lived under the notion that I had the potential to live my life to the fullest—whether that be through my singing, studies or dreams of world travel. I envisioned an exciting future with many adventures ahead, but the news of open heart surgery tore at the foundations of my dreams.

What an amazing trip to Washington, D.C., in late February to advocate on behalf of all affected by CHD! As the lone Massachusetts rep, I was joined by ACHA's own Terri! It was a treat to spend the day with her and the other ACHA folks as they took action. It is a true testament to the dedication of those behind the doings of ACHA. From start to finish it was a great experience that had tremendous impact on the decision makers of D.C.
As my fellow blogger and advocate Michael so eloquently described in his post, The One-Two Punch, we had some specific "asks" of our representatives and senators: Support CHD surveillance by appropriating $7 million to the CDC, continue to fund NIH research, and for our representatives, to join our Congenital Heart Caucus. Those are the facts – the impact comes with the stories.

Last week, I joined advocates from across the country in Washington, D.C., to meet with our elected leaders and their staffs and urge them to support Americans living with congenital heart disease (CHD). What we were asking for wasn't unreasonable: We want the government to fully fund a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) surveillance program. Millions of Americans are living with CHD; in fact, it is the most common birth defect. Nevertheless, the vast majority of adults with CHD – more than 90% – aren't getting the care they need. In fact, we don't even know who most of those people are, and we don't have data on what happens to adults as they age out of the pediatric system.

"Breathe in. Breathe out. Hold your breath."
The computerized female voice with a semi-British accent filled the MRI chamber, while the clanking and the whirring of the machine sounded all around me, muffled only slightly by the ear plugs the technicians had given me before I laid down on the table. My eyes were squeezed shut, hopeful to avoid a fit of claustrophobic panic, while my arms were held tightly in place by the straps that also held the X-ray plate against my chest. My lungs were silent, still holding my breath.
I inhaled as much as the anxiety in my chest would allow, preparing for the next bout of breath holding. The back of my mind raced with fear and with questions, while the front of my mind waited for instructions.

A few weeks ago, a friend told me she liked my blog posts and asked when the next was coming out. I told her when I was on the schedule, but admitted that I had no idea what I was going to write about. Nothing new is going on with Victor's heart and unless there's an impending doctor's appointment (or blog deadline), it's not something that comes up much in our daily lives.
"So write about that," she said.

I thought pregnancy/labor was going to be the hardest part of being a mother with congenital heart disease, and let me tell you, it wasn't exactly a walk in the park—but what I've found most surprising is how challenging motherhood itself would be in the face of my CHD.
Regardless of how you become a parent – old fashioned baby-making vs. surrogacy vs. adoption – you never really know what you're getting into until you're there. It's a club only parents understand. I thought working 12-hour night shifts in a busy pediatric ICU was motherhood "training," but little did I know that I'd later view those 12-hour shifts as my mommy breaks!

M51, whose name comes from being the 51st entry in Charles Messier's catalog, is considered to be one of the classic examples of a spiral galaxy. At a distance of about 30 million light years from Earth, it is also one of the brightest spirals in the night sky. A composite image of M51, also known as the Whirlpool Galaxy, shows the majesty of its structure in a dramatic new way through several of NASA's orbiting observatories.Tue, December 11, 2007 - 3:00 PM permalink

A stellar prodigy has been spotted about 450 light-years away in a system called UX Tau A by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Astronomers suspect this system's central Sun-like star, which is just one million years old, may already be surrounded by young planets. Scientists hope the finding will provide insight into when planets began to form in our own solar system.Wed, November 28, 2007 - 9:00 AM permalink
The next time you take a moonlit stroll, or admire a full, bright-white moon looming in the night sky, you might count yourself lucky. New observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope suggest that moons like Earth's -- that formed out of tremendous collisions -- are uncommon in the universe, arising at most in only 5 to 10 percent of planetary systems.Tue, November 20, 2007 - 9:00 AM permalink

There is a new invention that has major implications on how we capture energy. This man invented a ribbon process that captures wind power in a smaller format with less maintenance needed:Tue, October 23, 2007 - 1:49 PM permalink - 2 comments

An array of these devices, coupled with solar power and Vibrational Harvesting and you have an all-weather, environmentally sound, power harvester.
Vibrational Harvesting:
Full Address:[guardian.co.uk/technology/2006/sep/28/energy.askjack]
The similarity to this device and the concept of String Theory is quite uncanny - almost an allegory. If we could shrink such a multipurpose device down to the nano-technology level, it could get downright mystical. No longer are statements like "vibrational energy" and "taking the power of the universe" a Hippy-Dippy and New Age mumbo jumbo. They have indeed entered the daily language of Tech Geeks.
It almost seems the idea of this invention might have been inspired by Quantum musings. Are we coming to a point in our human evolution where all concepts can finally merge and be useful on a mundane level - yet become dimension shattering in their execution?
While I have absolutely no kind words for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I'm afraid that the Columbia University debate (which may have initially been scheduled as a guest speaker event) has only fueled the fire of the Bush Administration's Saber rattling.Wed, September 26, 2007 - 1:56 PM permalink - 2 comments
It just smells a lot like an 80's anti-communist propaganda movie to me.
Don't forget that the U.S. has invaded and is occupying countries on both sides of Iran. Anyone who's played the game Risk knows that you must first border a country before attacking it.
Just be wary of any outright emotional argument that doesn't see or take in account all the angles. If the current U.S. Administration is successful at painting the devil, we will feel the effects even way longer after they have gone.

Well, actually the mushrooms could assist to breaking down a biomass into biofuel much better then the inefficient methods used by the current Ethanol political scam. More specifically, at least understanding their genome sequence in relation to how they so efficiently break down organic matter will assist in finding a better way to break down biomass.

As we look out into the universe, does it look back at us?Thu, February 22, 2007 - 10:55 AM permalink - 1 comment
This "false color" image from the Spitzer Space Telescope of the Helix nebula has an all-seeing-Gnostic-eye staring scarily down on us from the heavens. Its monstrous leer seems to want to penetrate our souls.
In actuality, the Helix nebula is a dead star surrounded by clouds of gas that have "puffed out". Still though, this very simple physics concept still permeates our psyche with its familiarity. This fear may not be so far off and might just be based in our socialized training that we receive every day.
In the United States, even our money stares back at us. It's as if those in power and the rest of the world know better, and we are its dupe.
This is where our initial reaction is simply wrong. The universe is a mirror of our own souls. We are its master. We are also its grateful servant.
Those that only wish to gain power through this manipulation of our fears will cower to our empowerment soon to be revealed. This universe is telling us these telltale signs that those that abuse power, have forgotten their own place in the universe and soon will meet their due.
We will prevail.

It's easy to forget that there ARE people out there who are doing things for the general betterment of humanity. Thanks to PBS I've been reminded of one such person:
Microbiologist Dr. Gary Strobel of Montana State University has been discovering and promoting the connection of Endophytes to the use of medicinal plants by indigenous and traditional cultures. Endophytes are microscopic life forms inside nearly all of the world's plants. They form a unique and advantages symbiotic relationship with that plant. He is finding that the plants used by Medicine men that have strong healing properties are not necessarily healing due to the properties of the plants, but from the Endophytes within the plants.
The documentary "Jewels of the Jungle" not only shows Strobel's great respect for the cultures that he learns of the plants from, but a unique, hopeful and joyful outlook on life. His playful persona is nicely noted in his signature Amanita Muscaria colored Gnome hat, which doubles as a specimen collection bag (Which the Smithsonian Museum happens to have in their library).
Not only is his attitude inspiring, but so is his subject matter. Endophytes live a unique symbiotic relationship with the plants that they inhabit. The Endophytes give the plants protection from diseases and injury and in turn the plants give them nutrients for survival.
We as humans should learn from this symbiotic relationship; that we don't need to destroy the natural world to get uses from it. Ideally, by helping nature along we are in the long run helping ourselves.
While Strobel is not an Ethnobotanist per se, he is indeed bridging the gap between Science and cultural studies.
Endophytes to me pose a very intriguing connection in the natural world. I see them as the missing link between plant and animal communication. The Jungle Shaman will look at a plant and know what that plants uses are, either by intuition or passed on knowledge. The shaman will say quite literally that the plants are telling him this knowledge.
If the highly competitive chemical founded pharmaceutical industries don't bury his ideas he will have benefited humanity in a respectful and sustainable way. He may even have helped cure Malaria – one of the major causes of death on this planet.
See the movie here:
Or buy it from Montana PBS:
We are getting closer to the "Great Mother", or very literally called the "Black Hole" in Mayan lore. This is the actual Black Hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. We will come into alignment with a dark radial arm of it in the year 2012 - a cosmic event that happens every 5126(?) years.Tue, January 2, 2007 - 9:54 AM permalink - 1 comment
As we get closer, we will see telltale signs of its coming. Like the musings of prehistoric shamans and playful artists, we will see signs in the stars. Only now we will be using new technologies.
This image is one such artist's depiction that appears as playful fun, like making faces in the clouds. Click the image if you are vieing the small window and don't see the animation.
Like older cultures with their fairies in the woods, or gnomes in the rocks - we can take it quite literally too. What the artist did not draw in this giant black dust cloud are the more dragon-like features - such as the legs at the back. I believe this to be one of the great creatures forcing us to muse upon our evolution and advancement. Maybe even a clue, to understand our true, deep and hidden nature.
Image from the Spitzer telescope website:
In 06 I had "The 2nd Year Fever". This year I had what I would call "The 3rd year Ambivalence Blues". I had quite a few realizations this year that brought the reality of Burning Man to surface with a real harshness. I've come to realize that I hate people - especially "Burner" types.
I think I'd be a little sick to my stomach to see American flags strewn about the Playa (like after 911 when flags were lying about the ditches and gutters after they fell off the cars). Though I love social irony and iconic abstraction, on this subject I see it too often every day. Is there ever going to be an political campaign again where the candidate doesn't rip off, dissect and abstract the American flag in some way? That's worse then burning it in my eyes.
about me
I'm a mellow guy who has recently learned to be alone with myself and feel comfortable about it. I'm figuring out every day how to accept things for what they are, rather than expecting them to be something else.
I've learned very much about change and know that it can happen to me as well as to others. I can MAKE it happen to things in my life too – not by forcing it, but by asking for it.
When I reached thirty I feel that I emerged into a new person: I can think faster, learn more efficiently, recognize destructive behavior, have the patience to create things correctly, fix things properly and hear things from people that are benficial.
My favorite thing to do now is to ask questions, not only to know what the answer is, but to figure out WHAT my question really is.

'But the renaissance may be less robust than it looks. Even if the projects are successful and building proceeds at breakneck speed, the lead times are so long and costs so high that it's unclear that the US can build enough nuclear plants to make a dent in greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050. They're so financially risky, experts say, that the only reason building plans are under way is that the federal government has stepped in to guarantee investors against loan defaults.'
