April Fool illustration will appear here.
This was a good book because it had pictures of the boy skating and the skateboard looked fun to ride. My favorite part was where the elephant gave snacks to the little kids because if I were there I would get to have a snack and I think it would taste good. The skateboard guy with the blond hair reminds me of my dad skateboarding on his skateboard. My dad is really good at skateboarding!
I would recommend this book to my sister because she likes lots of books. Other people would like this book too because the boy in the book tells a funny joke. The pages are nicely colored in.

Advanced Materials and Devices for Renewable Energy: Global Markets--Focus on Asia-Pacific
|BCC Research
|英文 169 Pages
|アジア太平洋地域の再生可能エネルギー向け先進材料/デバイス市場 Advanced Materials and Devices for Renewable Energy: Global Markets--Focus on Asia-Pacific
|出版日: 2012年01月01日
|ページ情報: 英文 169 Pages
The global market for advanced materials and devices used in renewable energy systems was $18.2 billion in 2010; it is projected to approach $22.3 billion in 2011 and it will further grow to $31.8 billion in 2016 increasing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%
The Asia-Pacific nations consumed $8.3 billion worth of advanced materials and devices to produce renewable energy systems in 2010. Consumption is expected to increase to $11.9 billion in 2011 and $12.1 billion in 2016, a CAGR of 0.3% between 2011 and 2016.
China accounted for over half (56%) of the Asia-Pacific market in 2010, a percentage that is expected to drop to 47% by 2016. It is expected to approach $5.4 billion in 2011 and $5.7 billion by 2016 increasing at a CAGR of 1% between 2011 and 2016.
Two years have passed since BCC published its last report on the global market for advanced materials and devices used in renewable-energy systems. Since then, the global market for renewable energy has continued to grow and evolve. BCC therefore considers it important to update the earlier report's findings and conclusions about the size and structure of this important market.
The overall goal of this study is to identify and quantify the market for advanced material and device technologies used in renewable-energy systems. Specific objectives include the following:
This report is a business opportunity report intended especially for developers and vendors of advanced materials and devices that target the renewable-energy systems market. It should also be useful to vendors of renewable-energy systems interested in understanding where the market is headed with respect to advanced enabling technologies.
Other readers who will find the report's findings and conclusions informative include:
While the report is oriented to the interests and concerns of a nontechnical audience, it contains a great deal of technical information that should also be of interest to scientists and engineers working in the renewable-energy field.
The report focuses on the global and major regional and national markets for advanced materials (e.g., polymers, elastomers, composites, high-temperature alloys, powder metals, thin films, and others) and devices (sensors and controllers, optics, etc.) used in the fabrication of the following types of renewable-energy systems:
The report does not cover biofuels or renewable-energy-storage technologies such as batteries and fuel cells in detail because they are covered in other recent BCC studies.
The report includes the following major elements:
The findings and conclusions of this report are based on information gathered from renewable-energy products manufacturers, advanced materials and devices vendors and renewable energy-related organizations. Interview data were combined with information gathered through an extensive review of secondary sources such as trade publications, trade associations, company literature, and online databases to produce the baseline market estimates contained in this report.
The methodologies and assumptions used to develop the market projections in this report are discussed at length in the section on Detailed Market Estimates and Projections. The report carefully documents data sources and assumptions. This way, readers can see how the market estimates were developed and, if they so desire, test the impact on the final numbers of changing assumptions such as price.
Andrew McWilliams, the author of this report, is a partner in the Boston-based international technology and marketing consulting firm, 43rd Parallel, LLC. He is the author of numerous other Business Communications Co. business opportunity analyses, including the predecessor to this report (EGY053B Advanced Materials and Devices for Renewable Energy) and several other reports in the areas of energy and advanced materials, including EGY051A Petroleum Fuel Optimization Technologies, EGY055B Building the Global Hydrogen Economy: Technologies and Opportunities, EGY065B Enabling Technologies for the Smart Grid, ENV007B The U.S. Market for Green Building Materials, CHM020D Catalysts for Environmental and Energy Applications, NAN044A Nanotechnology in Energy Applications, and AVM038D Advanced Structural Carbon Products: Fibers, Foams and Composites.

If you are a business owner in Poplar Bluff Missouri, there will come a day when you look at "how to sell my business" as the main question you ask yourself and perhaps the first thing to type in the search box in Google or your favorite search engine. When you type in "how to sell my business in Poplar Bluff " I am sure you will find all kinds of information on just that. I have compiled 7 of the things most business owners don't know about or don't think about before that day (or the day of) that would certainly make the day you do sell your business a more profitable one. Most companies who visit with us are looking to find out what their business is worth first. Most business owners have no idea what their company is worth. Wouldn't you like to know about what it is worth before you hire a Poplar Bluff business broker (we're not brokers, by the way)?Before I go into all that let's look at the 7 biggest mistake business owners make when they get to the point of asking "how to sell my business"1. They assume they "know" what their company is worth and make up a price – Look the first problem with this approach is that your business is usually "your baby". If you have owned your business for a long time you know that you have spent more time with it than perhaps even your family, spouse and kids! It's always there, even in the back of your mind………and sometimes it is hard to understand why someone can't see your business worth the way you see it. That's okay, but it is better to have a certified 3rd party give a certified opinion or appraisal of your business.Look at it this way, if you and I were going to go downtown and buy the Hilton Hotel, we would find a qualified appraiser to give us his professional opinion, wouldn't we? We certainly wouldn't take the owner's word for it or even their accountant's word for it. We would want an independent opinion and official analysis.But you say, hey my business isn't worth that much to justify the cost. What? Even if your business is only worth $25,000, at least you would have an official 3rd party appraisal and a "floor" price you could start at. And with the discounts available when you go through someone like valuationbroker.com, you could literally add thousands if not tens of thousands to your sales price, and only pay a small percentage to have it done.I would not even consider selling any business without this step, no way, ever.You see, most business buyers are smart, like you, they have done a lot of right things to get where they are and unless they have recently inherited the money, they are sophisticated to a degree and will do their homework when looking for a company to purchase. The real advantage to having your company appraised first (by an independent 3rd party certified appraiser) is that you are the one driving the appraisal, not the buyer.2. They ask their accountant what their company is worth and use that number – You accountant is probably a very smart individual, however when coming to valuing a business or having one in on the sales process, I have one rule. I make sure they have been in on at least 10 business sales in the past 12 months, no exceptions. I have seen more deals killed by well meaning accountants. Don't make this mistake.I don't care what your accountant thinks your business is worth. I don't care what MY accountant thinks your business is worth. I want to know what the market tells me.
So that's why I want an independent look from a qualified third party to tell me the current "market value". I have seen hundreds of business owners make this mistake and it can (and has) literally meant the difference of getting only half of what they could have! Half!What's also most interesting about accountants is that they tend to favor using the book value of your business as a starting point and not the market value. Big big mistake. You'll leave a ton on the table this way. Don't do it!3. They take the number off their balance sheet and say that's what their company is worth – You balance sheet tells you the hard value of the assets you have, that's it! It doesn't take into consideration what the value of your assets are that have already been depreciated or your blue sky value, or good name, or customer base……….all things that can add tremendously to the bottom line value of your business!4. They read a few articles in INC magazine and guess a number (even saying something like "companies in my industry are selling for 3 Times earnings") They may even refer to their latest tax return for a number – Don't be fooled by this! There are so many variables even with similar businesses in the same industry. The true value of your Missouri business is NOT the same as the guy down the street, even if you do the same thing! The true value of your Poplar Bluff business is NOT like real estate, where you can compare with the property down the street.That is like saying the space shuttle is like a bicycle. True they are both forms of transportation, but one is a bit more complicated than the other. Again, have it appraised by a "market appraiser". Best money you will EVER spend. Ask ANYONE who has EVER sold a business! 5. They trust a FREE tool on the internet to give them the value of their business – While these free tools are valuable to help obtain a "range of value" (we have one too), they are not the complete answer and you can't use them to justify your asking price. If you have a properly done market appraisal, it will include a "justification of purchase price" section that says, "this is what your business is worth in this market, and here is why it is worth that"That is such an important step. Buyers are smart and want to know how you came to the price you did. Now you know what to do so you can stand behind your price.
Plus you will know just what the market is doing. It isn't the accountant or the balance sheet or your uncle attorney that dictates the price, it's the market! So knowing this, it is important to know just what the market price is. I have seen market prices be twice what the accountant says the business is worth!6. They haven't made their business run without them – This is a no-brainer, yet many business owners don't think of it. Your business will be worth a lot more if it can run without you there. Otherwise whoever buys it will be buying a "job". Nothing wrong with that, but realize, those businesses just are not worth as much when you go to sell them.7. They hire the wrong attorney to help them with the final paperwork (the wrong attorney could be their best friend) – This is just like the accountant, unless the attorney you use has closed 10 or more deals within the past 12 months, don't use them! So many well meaning attorneys have killed countless deals, UNNECESSARILY!I wish you well and hope you take these things to heart (and action). I have seen so many sellers walk away with a lot less than they could have, had they JUST used these few tips!Good Luck, I wish you continued success! (don't forget to get a certified third party, independent report for your business BEFORE you list it to sell) You'll be glad you did! Buying a business? Use the same concepts! Cheers!
The Best Poplar Bluff Missouri Business BrokersYou are contemplating on selling your business and want to understand how best to maximize the value of your business. You might have heard from your industry contacts that some businesses similar to yours sold for 3 times EBITDA and some others sold for 6 times EBITDA. This variation could mean a difference of several million dollars in take-home! What makes this variation possible?How can you get the best value for your business?The purpose of this article is to help you look at your business as an acquirer might in valuing your company. The more attractive you can make your business to the acquirer, the better chance that you will get a higher value for your business. Your M&A advisor will also play a big role in the valuation and we will cover this in a different article.Here is a list of key vectors acquirers use in evaluating business:1. Strategic Fit: Strategic fit occurs when some aspects of your business (products, services, distribution channels, location, etc.) are worth a lot more to another player in the industry than it is to you. When a strategic fit is established, the acquirer sees your business on a post acquisition basis and may be willing to offer much more than the going market multiples. Give careful consideration to who the strategic acquirers may be. This is one area where a knowledgeable M&A advisor can be of great help to you.2. Cash Flow: After strategic fit, cash flow is the single largest value driver for most businesses. Think of ways to improve your EBITDA on a sustainable basis. Acquirers are suspicious of short term jumps in cash flow. So, be careful not to delay hiring or equipment purchases beyond what you believe is reasonable. Once an acquirer starts doubting your credibility, the due diligence increases and the acquirer will make changes to valuation to adjust for the risk.3. Management Depth: Keep in mind that acquirers buy a business that they hope will be functional and growing after the sale. It is tough for the acquirer to place high value on your business if you are the sole decision maker in the company and the business depends largely on your skill set. Developing your staff so that they can run the business when you are gone can pay big dividends when it is time to sell. If you are concerned about your employees leaving once you are gone, it may be good idea to consider employment contracts, stock grants and other incentives that give them a reason to stay long term. If possible, start work on staff related issues at least a year before you plan on starting the sales process.4. Customer Diversity: Acquirers are nervous about businesses where a high percentage of business comes from a handful of customers. Ideally, no single customer should contribute to more than 10% of your revenues or profits. The best solution for this problem is to diversify the customer base. If that is not feasible, be prepared to accept part of the transaction price paid as earn-outs or plan on supporting the acquirer in an advisory role to ensure customer continuity.5. Recurring Revenue Stream: Acquirers love predictable and low risk revenue streams. Any long term contracts, annual service/licensing fees, and other recurring revenue streams make business more desirable and fetch a higher price in the marketplace. In service oriented business, converting predictable customer support calls into recurring revenue stream can turn a business liability into an asset.6. Desirable Products & Services That Are Difficult To Copy: Acquirers place higher value on a business with unique products, services, or distribution systems than a business whose offerings are considered generic. What is unique about your business? Think of ways in which your product/service is unique and why it should be valuable to an acquirer. Having an edge and having the ability to communicate the edge can do wonders to your business's valuation.7. Barriers To Entry: With so much competition all around you, why is your business difficult to copy? Why will the acquirer have as much success with the business as you have had? Is it because of intellectual property (patents, copyrights), regulation (permits, zoning), difficult to get contracts (you are one of the two or three qualified vendors at each of your major accounts), or something else? Having good answers to these questions indicates that there are barriers to entering your business. These barriers make your businesses more valuable than your competitor's with similar cash flow.8. Pending Upsides: You believe you are about to come up with a compelling new product or make major inroads into a premier customer. You expect these developments will double your business next year and do not want your company to be undervalued based on current financials. Delaying the sale has other consequences that make it unattractive for you to wait. So, what do you do? A good forecast backed up by management presentations with examples on why the company would achieve the forecasts is extremely powerful. However, keep in mind that any forecasts that do not materialize as planned during the sales process can have substantial negative impact on the sales price. Having a good understanding of your product/sales pipeline and having the ability to communicate it with your M&A advisor can help structure a deal where part of the sales price can be paid in earn-out to capture some of the upside.9. Industry Exposure: Perceived industry leadership is an intangible that can enhance your company valuation. Keep a record of newspaper stories, articles in trade magazines, mentions on local TV or any other mention of your company in print or any other media. Your business is more valuable, if your company is perceived as being a leader in the industry and sought after for its expertise. Asking your employees to write articles and keeping in touch with local and industry reporters not only enhances your valuation in the long term but also helps drive your business and image in the community.10. Strategic Plan: A written strategic growth plan that clearly documents the areas the company can grow can be an asset to acquirer. Length of the document is not as important as the content. A well written 2 or 3 page growth plan is sufficient. Acquirers will also find useful prior year plans that show the history of your ventures - along with their failures and successes.11. Record Keeping: To many acquirers, high quality book keeping reduces risk and also says a lot about how the business was run. Having a set of clean, easily auditable books inspires confidence and helps during the due diligence and negotiation process.12. Accentuate The Positive: Every business has its chinks and it is very important for the seller to identify these negatives and proactively offer solutions for turning the negatives into positives. It is important sellers take steps to put out any bad news on the table early and dealing with issues upfront. Unidentified negatives can haunt you during the negotiating process.The most important takeaway from this article should be that while EBITDA matters, EBITDA is not everything. Improvement along the key vectors mentioned above will give you and your M&A advisor a considerable upper hand during the negotiation process. If the EBITDA of your business is $1 million, a difference in a multiple of 3 and 6 would mean a difference of $3M in pre-tax earnings. Not bad for doing a little bit of homework!

There's good news and there's bad news
By Lady Liberty
If you rely on traditional media outlets or government spokesmen to get the news, the chances are good that you're confused. From the government and conservative media, we hear what a a success the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan are; from the liberal and libertarian media, we hear of ongoing opposition to our very presence in these countries. From conservative sources, we hear that basic scientific principles such as evolution are in serious question; from the traditionally more liberal academic community, we hear precisely the opposite.
Some of the choices of stories for broadcast or publication may, indeed, be based on bias. Internet news purveyor WorldNetDaily, for example, is literally unable to use the term "gay" without placing it in quotation marks, and frequently references something it calls the "homosexual agenda." It regularly runs features that include stories sympathetic to prayer in the classroom or the teaching of intelligent design under the banner of "brave new schools." But in all fairness, WorldNetDaily has always billed itself as a conservative news source.
Other outlets, however, claim to be fair and unbiased. But their decisions as to priorities or publication at least hint otherwise. Just this week, the disparity in lead stories between the purportedly liberal CNN and the supposedly conservative Fox News networks was interesting. At one time, the lead story on CNN featured Michael Jackson and his ongoing trial on child sexual abuse charges; at precisely the same time, the lead story on Fox News was a guilty plea by Mark Hacking who admitted in a Utah courtroom that he'd killed his wife while she slept. Both CNN and Fox News did tell both stories, but the emphasis was dramatically different.
While decisions such as which story to emphasize at any given time are usually subjective, the known political persuasion of those making the decisions are hard to ignore. It was, in fact, that known bias that caused some to look so hard at a 60 Minutes story about George W. Bush put together by Dan Rather. As it turns out, whether it was Mr. Rather's politics or his dubious ethics that blinded him, he and his team were guilty of using falsified documents at the very center of their tale.
Accusations of media bias are now so all-encompassing that groups have been established to monitor such activity. The Media Research Center claims it's "the leader in documenting, exposing, and neutralizing liberal media bias." At the same time, the Internet also boasts T. Rex's Guide to Conservative Media Bias. The one thing that both groups can probably agree on is that neither seems to be having any trouble finding examples to talk about.
We can blame the media of either persuasion all we like, but we must also be honest enough to note that the government plays its own role in reporting news about current events. Earlier this year, it was brought to light that the Bush administration had actually paid columnists to promote certain of its programs. Needless to say, that didn't go over well with either the public or with some syndicators (sadly, the condemnation of these columnists wasn't universal). More recently, the General Accounting Office reported that the government was itself producing "news" segments and shipping them off to various media outlets for unattributed broadcast.
Media bias is never less than bad news. The Founding Fathers, after all, fully intended for the press to be one of the most important—and incorruptible—checks on government wrongdoing. But amidst all the bad news are a couple of factors representing some very good news. First, the Internet has enabled individuals to be national and international news sources in and of themselves. While some are at least as biased as the mainstream press they strive to emulate, a host of them are honest. And among the latter are some very talented investigative reporters who, like the more traditional press used to be, never give up once they scent a breath of scandal or wrongdoing on the part of the authorities. Better still is the fact that these individuals consider, among other things, the mainstream press to be fair game for their attention.
It was Matt Drudge who first brought real attention to Monica Lewinsky's infamous stained blue dress, and it was 'bloggers who wouldn't let the 60 Minutes story rest. Conspiracy theorists who wonder about government complicity in the bombing of the Alfred R. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City have long been able to chat and compare notes with like minds via the Internet; now Fox News has indicated it's seeking more information on possible wrongdoing (or at least ineptitude) on the part of the authorities in connection with their investigations of that crime. The media at large took up these huge stories largely because they had to. The Internet started the fire and fanned the flames to such a degree that even the most partisan couldn't ignore the smoke any longer.
Sometimes, no matter the the source, the news is so bad that there is inevitably a backlash. In the case of the government's production of propaganda films in the guise of news stories, parts of the selfsame government are so horrified by this egregious abuse of the public trust that they're speaking out. The Government Accounting Office (GAO) was the government entity that first put together and released the comprehensive report revealing these tyrannical tactics. Now the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has stepped into the fray to tell broadcasters they must identify such tapes as being government-produced if they choose to air them.
If the administration's actions had been less egregious—if there had been fewer instances of such films, for example—it's entirely possible the entire matter would have blown over. But by virtue of its nonchalant and frequent use of such measures, the government is finding itself condemned by some of its own.
The PATRIOT Act consists of a list of measures any one or two of which might pass muster with the excuse of necessity in the War on Terrorism. But because the Department of Justice took advantage of the hysteria immediately following 9/11 by submitting a virtual laundry list of powers it had long coveted, the law has been controversial virtually since its inception. Because a few cooler heads prevailed long enough to insert some sunset clauses into parts of the law, the DOJ is now in a position of trying to defend a law that many deem indefensible.
In recent weeks, the state of Montana became the fifth to condemn the PATRIOT Act, and hundreds of municipalities have done the same. If the law had been a little more "reasonable" in the first place, many would have agreed to live with some curtailed liberties. It is only the fact that the law is so bad that so many have taken action against it. In other words, it was the bad news that directly resulted in the good news.
Many Americans have ignored the fact that their privacy has been rapidly eroded by both government and private enterprises. They've shrugged and said they have nothing to hide, or they've shaken their heads and attributed massive databases as the price we pay for living in a high tech world. The vast majority also seem to believe that, if a particular database claims to be secure, their information is safe. A few identity thefts here and there haven't really shaken most people much, and even fewer law abiding citizens care about criminals who find their personal information—often including their DNA— in databases.
But now the theft of massive amounts of personal data from database vendors previously considered reputable has shown Americans that their data isn't as safe as they might have naively thought it was. ChoicePoint and LexisNexis lost hundreds of thousands of records from supposedly secure databases, and reports are that some identity thefts have already resulted. Congress is now considering some sort of legislation that might help the victims of such crimes. The caution people are finally having the sense to show, and the lawmakers' attention to a matter long overdue for some action on their part, is almost solely the result of the awful news that so much data was stolen in the first place. If the news hadn't been so bad, the end results wouldn't have been nearly so good.
The MATRIX (Multi-state Anti-Terrorism Information eXchange) database might have fared better given that it was a privately owned database but with only certain government agencies authorized for access. Billed as a terrorism and crime prevention tool, many citizens might have been inclined to agree that any potential abuse of the information contained therein was outweighed by the crime fighting potential it had. But much as it did in the case of the PATRIOT Act, government overreached itself.
Too many people were given access for too many reasons. Every American was almost certainly included, not just those with connections to crimes or terrorism. Datamining was almost a foregone conclusion, effectively eliminating Fourth and Fifth Amendment protections. And the information it contained was incredibly extensive. Although there were still some who were either ignorant or naive enough to think MATRIX was a good idea, many disagreed. Privacy advocacy groups united against the program, and individuals protested loudly. Now—and for much the same reasons—MATRIX has suffered the same fate as that of the Pentagon's Total Information Awareness (TIA) program: The government has stopped funding it.
In what can only be called ironic, the bad news has proved to be good news after all albeit by an indirect route. The news is sometimes so bad that even the most Pollyanna-like populations prove to be dismayed. And the abject failure of the mainstream press to fulfill its mandate as the "fourth estate" has given the Internet both the impetus and the power to make a real and positive difference. Now, however, we must be more watchful than ever. The government isn't always the brightest of beasts on a collective basis, but it has turned its shaggy head toward the Internet more than once in recent months.
There's been talk of applying Campaign Finance Reform to the Internet, thanks to the horrible McCain-Feingold measure that dramatically curtails the free speech of political action groups. Fortunately, that news was bad enough early enough that Congress is already taking some action to protect political 'bloggers from being muzzled by CFR. Talk crops up with some regularity among politicians who consider taxing Internet purchases or even Internet access, but the mandate against it is—so far—strong enough to prevent overt action in that regard. And the FCC's crusade to censor the broadcast media has lately extended feelers toward online material. That, too, appears to be at a standstill for the moment.
But whatever you do, don't assume that no news is good news. Sometimes, no news means that the bad news just isn't bad enough for you to take notice or to get too upset. Sometimes the bad news is distributed carefully over time or scope. That makes it not seem quite so bad and so doesn't get your undivided attention or activism. At the moment, most government entities seem to lack the subtlety to take that kind of slow, creeping approach. But even the most stupid or stubborn eventually learn, and its many recent abject failures means the government is likely to take heed sooner rather than later. And that could prove to be very bad news for all of us.

Keeping Housej-ro -- Sunday, July 07, 2002 -- 04:05:48 AM
Discuss the challenges of housekeeping here.
This thread is tagged: home, cleaning, housekeeping
(All users will see what tags exist for a thread. Please tag carefully!)
I just spent about $25 on laundry aids. The kids came home from camp with every item of clothing filthy. Their formerly white socks are black with dirt. I had to wash their towels twice to get the dirt out. I hate this part of the camp experience.
(Moved message originally posted by lime on Sunday, July 07, 2002 -- 12:22:36 AM.)
My apartment is amazingly neat right now. I am most pleased.
Should I be ignoring all these posts Lime keeps moving? Do they actually show up anywhere else?
My apartment is also fairly neat right now because I jut threw out a whole bunch of junky furniture and old dishes and assorted crap. I was planning to actually buy some furniture, but with this whole house buying thing rearing its ugly head that's on hold and I have to admit, all this open space is very soothing. The room I'm in now is down a junky sectional couch and huge old trunk and now the only furniture is my desk, a couple of CD racks, a bookcase, my chair and the newly acquired crafts card table, it feels like a ballet studio, its where I do all my back stretches now.
Yes, Lime is just testing. There isn't anything in them.
The thing that makes me happy is that I vacuumed for the first time in forever. I love my vacuum cleaner; I know that it's weird, but it is quiet and cleans carpets well.
Oh, I'm glad you started this topic--I neeeed this topic.
My apartment is completely trashed right now. We brought back a van load and a pickup load of boxes from our house when we cleared it out and we have to find places to put them.
Actually, it was a stunning snippet from my English paper on the struggles and sacrifices of Lady Galadriel, from LotR.
But not worth following it around to the 14 different threads I moved it from. <g>
Susanne do you guys have any storage space that comes with the apartment that you can just stack the shit in?
I was thinking last week that I have enough stuff. I do not presently want any new cookware, which is my usual overindulgence. I threw away and gave away a whole bunch of things over the last year and have made an effort to organize what's left. I have some things in the garage that I'm giving to our sitter when she moves into a student apartment with some friends in the fall. I've made both girls go through their rooms and throw things away or donate them or what have you. So I was all happy with the amount of stuff that I have. Why, then, am I looking on eBay tonight at all the neat stuff I could start collecting?
Because now you have space for all that neat stuff!
You know, there was a commercial about a decade ago, about how you could use Rubbermaid, I think, containers for storage. You had this family of four, saying, "We have too much stuff." and then they've fixed it all with rubbermaid storage.
So it ends with them looking at each other in realization. "We need more stuff!"
That runs through my head far more than it should, given it wasn't that great a commercial.
I think we have finished with the laundry. Can I wash their athletic shoes in the machine and let them air dry with newspapers stuffed inside?
I'm pissed at my husband because he refuses to get with the program. I bought a laundromat laundry cart a couple of months ago (Maria Gleason was going to buy one at the same time; I wonder whether she did) and the excellent idea is to fold the clothes right into it from the dryer, then roll it to each room or closet where the clothes go and drop them off. Instead of doing that, he's taking loads of clothes out of the washer and dumping them on various beds throughout the house. I asked him why and he said because the other beds were too cluttered. I may have to kill him. But I can probably get another husband on eBay.
Yes, you can wash shoes.
He's dumping wet clothes on beds? Or do you mean dryer?
Spawn does his own laundry at least half the time. He hangs up his shirts right from the washer and let's them airdry. That works well and eliminates the folding problem.
I can probably get another husband on eBay.
Rolling laundry carts make me think of the evil landlady in Thoroughly Modern Millie who kidnaps girls in the rolling laundry cart and sells them into white slavery.
Yes, you really might have to kill him, I certainly would. My dream house is going to have a huge walkin closet with a washer and dryer that is directly accessible from all the bathrooms. I am going to do the laundry and fold it straight from the dryer and put it away right there in that same room and then when one gets out of the shower one scampers into that room to grab clothes and/or get dressed and there will be no bureaus in any of the bedrooms and no piles of clean folded laundry to gradually get diluted with the dirty laundy til you can't tell which is which anymore but it doesn't matter anyway because the cat has started sleeping in them and shedding all over the clean clothes. Barring that one of those big rolly laundry carts is the best solution in the world.
Not wet laundry. I changed it to dryer. But still. I'm being thwarted, and I don't like it.
I am making them put away their own laundry, but I'm washing it because I want it to a) get clean and b) get done.
But I can probably get another husband on eBay.
This cracks me up.
I do that hang the shirts to air dry thing too, I got a big wooden clothes rack on wheels to hang them all on. I love it.
Debby, the rolling cart is la bomba. I don't know why husband cannot see that. I have been planning for years to get one, but you can't just go into a store and buy one. Then I realized I could probably get it on the internet. And yea, it was so.
You know, I've been saying for 6 months now that I really have to go through and clear out the junk from my closet, the linen press and the cupboard under the kitchen sink. Maybe next week.
I did clean out the freezer the other day. One of the packages (either stew or minestrone, I couldn't identify which) was from October 99.

It has begun.
At first I thought I was going to eliminate caffeine before I attempted withdrawal. I figured (rightly) that I shouldn't do both at once, because I should know exactly why I feel like crap. Then some reasonable friend asked me why I felt so inclined to torture myself, when I could simply cut down on caffeine until it didn't make me want to claw at my face. I couldn't argue with this logic.
As for the drugs: My original plan called for me to reduce my dosage by about 20 granules each week (there are 100 granules in each capsule). At the start of the week, I would open seven capsules, remove 1/5th of each, close them, and have the correct dosage all ready to go.
But I forgot that I am lazy, and not exacting, and easily distracted by the shiny things and happy voices on the television box. So, when faced with hundreds of teensy-tiny granules that like to roll and bounce all over the black paper I laid out, I became overwhelmed, and then sleepy, and finally I decided to go the less-scientific route. Each day, I would just toss out what looks to me like 20 granules. For the past week I've been tossing granules hither and yon, and so far, so good.
I was planning on taking fish oil while I was withdrawing, because someone on the Internets suggested it. But a health-expert friend told me that fish oil, which usually helps fight depression, can have the opposite effect when it's combined with an antidepressant. Not to mention, fish oils strike me as, well, icky. I don't like the idea of someone juicing a salmon and dripping the oily runoff into capsules, which sit on a shelf for weeks or months. I'm sure I'm wrong about this.
It's been a week on my reduced dosage, and I am having none of the unpleasant side effects. I've noticed little things, like a fascinating metallic sensation when I swallow, like the back of my throat is made of tin foil. And then we were at the Brooklyn Museum a few days ago, and I couldn't shake the feeling that each piece of art I looked at had somehow taken residence in my brain. I mean, I could feel them, all knotted up in there, somewhere behind my eyes. This was strangely pleasant.
I know this makes no sense. I think everyone should go on a drug, just to go off of it and see what it does to you. By next week, I will have developed synaesthesia, and I will taste purple and hear fur and see impatience!

Demonstrations against the Vietnam War were not the exclusive arena of college students. Neither were students the first to protest. The Society of Friends, popularly known as the Quakers, bore "witness" to their pacifist principles by sending medical supplies to both sides during the war. In this way they sought to lessen the suffering of war victims in Vietnam. Friends in Western Massachusetts raised funds that were publicly given to Canadian Friends at the U.S. Canadian border in an act of peaceful civil disobedience. Their act was illegal because all trade with North Vietnam was forbidden under the "Trading with the Enemy Act."

Jim Harbaugh threw 129 career touchdowns, led his team to an AFC Championship Game and directed enough second-half charges to earn the nickname "Captain Comeback."
So, naturally, one of the proudest moments of Harbaugh's 15-year career didn't end in an end zone. It began, and concluded, at the bottom of a pile.
This week, Harbaugh, who was sporting his gas-station-style, blue-collar work shirt at practice today, offered more evidence that he's the antithesis of a pretty boy ex-quarterback.
On Wednesday, a reporter asked Harbaugh a few questions about what it's like to fight for a loose ball at the bottom of a pile. You know, gouging, scratching, pulling and worse.
At one point, Harbaugh was asked about the worst thing that's happened to him in one of those masses of angry humanity and, in response, he looked like a guy recounting the glories of his 1995 NFL MVP runner-up season.
His big moment came during the fourth quarter of a game against the Dolphins when he was playing for the Colts.
"It was probably one of my proudest plays as a player, to go in to one of the piles, had half of the ball and was able to work it and came up with the ball," Harbaugh said. "It was exactly how I described it, like an arm wrestling match. Couldn't even lift up my arms after I was done because I was straining so hard to keep the leverage of the ball."
As a quarterback, Harbaugh was asked, did he think about staying out of those piles to avoid injury?
"It'd be hard to live with yourself if you turned that down as a quarterback or any other position," he said. "(There are) some things that really bother a man all the way to the rest of his life."
Today, Harbaugh said he's had conversations with defensive tackle Will Tukuafu and tight end Delanie Walker about life at the bottom of the pile.
"I like hearing what those guys have to say about it," he said.

Doctor Who was the third most-viewed programme on Saturday, being beaten by ITV's Saturday's Night Takeaway with 7.19 million viewers, and The Voice UK with 6.24 million viewers. We did, however, win the time slot against You've been Framed!. who received 3.6 million viewers.
Currently, Doctor Who is the 22nd most watched programme of the week, however with final ratings due out next week, Doctor Who's position remains uncertain and it is very possible for it to move up the rankings.

There is a disturbing note in this week's agenda for the Caltrain JPB meeting. It's basically a fare increase.
We need to let them know we dislike stealth fare increases, use this handy email link to send a message to Caltrain customer service, copying the Caltrain board and staff at the same time.
Staff Coordinating Council (SCC) recommends that the Board schedule a public hearing at its February 2, 2012 Board meeting to consider changes to its Codified Tariff.
Setting the public hearing will allow staff to schedule community meetings to solicit input from customers and the general public on proposed changes to the tariff. Proposed changes include (1) elimination of the 8-ride Ticket; (2) increasing the cost of paper One-way tickets, Day passes and Zone Upgrade tickets, which will result in a less expensive Clipper cost for these items; (3) increasing the Go Pass price; and (4) lengthening the sales period for monthly transportation passes and parking permits. Further details on the proposed changes will be provided in advance of three community meetings in January.
Holding a public hearing will not impact the budget.
In response to customer fare media usage, and in the spirit of Metropolitan Transportation Commission Resolution 3866, staff will propose the changes described above.
As described, this is a fare increase for people using 8 ride tickets. Paper ticket users would also see a fare increase, but it could be mitigated by getting a Clipper Card. But the population that rides Caltrain 3-4 roundtrips per week, currently getting a nice discount via 8 ride tickets, would see a fare increase of 15% if they buy one way tickets. They could buy a Monthly Pass, but that pass is priced the same as 31 rides on an eight ride ticket, users currently using Caltrain for fewer than 15 round trips per month would pay more for the pass than they currently do. 15 round trips per month is a regular rider - not the demographic that Caltrain should be lumping the entirety of an increase on.
As I've discussed before - 8 ride tickets are an anachronism and have been very inconvenient for Clipper users. I do think they should be eliminated. But that elimination is no excuse to pass on a stealth fare increase to a big chunk of the ridership. If Caltrain truly needs a fare increase, they should ...
1) Eliminate the 8 rides
2) Give all Clipper users a 15% discount off of a one way ticket.
3) Institute an across the board fare hike.
This is far more honest and does not specifically impact a subset of passengers. It could be phased - change the fare structure first, quantify the impact to revenue of people formerly paying full fare now getting a discount, and adjust fares if needed.
Of course, this brings up the topic of "Does Caltrain need a fare hike?" Despite the angst over their budget, the apparent need for a fare increase is going to fall upon a lot of deaf ears given this, also from the same report.
Revenue: For October of Fiscal Year 2012, Total Operating Revenue (line 7) is $3,079,284 or
15.2 percent better than budget. Within total operating revenue, Farebox Revenue (line 1), Parking
Revenue (line 2) and Other Income (line 5) which together are $3,066,486 or 15.9 percent better than
budget. Compared to the prior year, Total Operating Revenue (line 7) is $4,604,583 or 24.5 percent
higher driven by Farebox Revenue (line 1), Parking Revenue (line 2) and Other Income (line 5)
which together are $4,600,325 or 25.9 percent higher.
Expense: Grand Total Expenses (line 46) show a favorable variance of $1,337,579 or 3.9 percent.
Total Operating Expense (line 33) is $934,242 or 3.1 percent better than budget. Within total
operating expense, Contract Operating & Maintenance (line 23) and Services (line 31) together are
$678,465 or 3.3 percent better than budget. Total Administrative Expense (line 42) is $403,337 or
10.0 percent better than budget.
I would hope that Caltrain would quickly revisit the apparent proposals before finalizing a plan for the January community meetings. Whenever Caltrain cooks up a poorly thought out change to service or fare structures, a lot of bad blood is spilled in the process of fixing it. The customer base will not see the benefit of removing logistical nightmares from the Clipper setup - they will see a fare increase. No matter the end result, Caltrain's image with the public is the victim. Long term, they cannot afford that to be any more tarnished than it already is.

Apple today switched on its delayed iTunes Match service, which lets you sync music you didn't buy from the company's music store with iCloud. It had been promised for the end of October, a deadline that slipped by two full weeks.
iTunes Match, which costs $24.99 annually, searches your iTunes music library for and tries to match what you have with songs in the iTunes Music Store. If it's found, it then becomes available to other copies of the iTunes software authorized to your Apple ID, as well as iPhones/iPads/iPod Touches running the iOS 5 software.
But there's one big caveat: If you enable it on your device and haven't fully synced all your music with iCloud, the only music you'll see on your iPhone/iPad/iPod will be what's in iCloud. More on this in a minute.
Before you can use iTunes Match, you'll need to download and install iTunes 10.5.1 for Windows or Mac, which enables it. When you start iTunes, you'll see an iTunes Match item in the left column. Click it to subscribe, and you'll be charged $24.99. (You may see a notice that says new subscriptions aren't being accepted. I saw this and just clicked past it, and was able to subscribe just fine.)
iTunes Match then begins comparing your library with its store inventory.
Once it's done, you'll be notified how many songs you have stored in iCloud.
To access the music on your iOS device, go to Settings > Music and tap the iTunes Match switch. You'll be prompted with a red warning bar to complete the process. READ THE TEXT ABOVE THE BAR CAREFULLY.
You can match up music from multiple iTunes libraries. For example, I worked initially from my MacBook Pro, which has a very small fraction of the 3,000-plus songs on my iMac at home. All that music has been synced to my iPhone. But when I enabled iTunes Match on the phone, the process deleted all that synced music and left me with only the songs that are available via iTunes Match.
The situation will be remedied when I can get home and sync the iMac's music with iTunes Match, too. But this raises the issue of music that's not available in iTunes' music store. If you enable iTunes Match, you won't have access to that on your iOS devices. [Update: You will have access, because iTunes Match uploads to iCloud song files it can't find in the iTunes Store.]
When you look on your iOS device, you'll see music that was already on your device if it also is in iCloud. For example, in the image below, Green Day's Insomniac was both on my device and in iCloud when my library was replaced. But songs from International Superhits – designated with the iCloud icon – were not there, and only exist for now in iCloud. You can tap on the iCloud icon to download a physical copy to your iOS device, or to the iTunes library on your computer.
One other aspect – anything you've ever bought from iTunes shows up in this library, even if you subsequently removed it. In the past, I've downloaded a lot of the iTunes free-music samplers, listened to the songs and later removed them, both to save space and prevent clutter. Now, all that clutter is back, even if the music only exists in iTunes Match and not in my iPhone's storage.
Updated: I turned on iTunes Match on my iMac, where all my music is stored, and it matched up 3,800 songs. I didn't stick with the machine to see how long it took, but it was not a speedy process.
Most of my music has now shown up on my phone. A big benefit of using iCloud to listen to music: I suddenly have a LOT more available storage on my phone. I had been bumping up against my 32-gigabyte iPhone 4′s capacity, with only about 3.4 GB free. Now, I've got almost 20 GB free.

Ghana Geology
Exploration History
Reports of gold mining in the Upper West Region of Ghana date back to the 1920's and 1930's, when the Gold Coast Geological Survey recorded numerous gold occurrences while mapping in the area, although they noted that at the time there was relatively little artisanal activity in the region compared to southern Ghana. In the 1960's a Russian-sponsored geological mapping and prospecting programme was undertaken, but more detailed reports of the gold occurrences in the region were only published in 1991. These reports include mention of a concentration of gold associated with extensive quartz veining near Wa, and narrow, discontinuous north-south-trending veins that were believed to be the cause of stream sediment anomalies close to the villages of Duri and Lambussie, located 20 kilometres and 50 kilometres north of Azumah's Kunche deposit, respectively.
The first systematic exploration of the region was undertaken by BHP-Utah in the early 1990's. BHP completed a regional bulk leach extractable gold (BLEG) soil survey of the entire Wa-Lawra Belt at 2 kilometre traverse intervals along strike, and several clusters of point anomalies were identified, including most of the currently recognised historical prospects. In the late 1990's, AGEM (a joint venture between Ashanti Goldfields and IAMGOLD of Canada) held prospecting rights over most of the Wa-Lawra Belt, and further wide spaced geochemical sampling was undertaken (of stream sediments, soils, anthills, laterite and rock chips), together with geological mapping and Landsat image interpretation. AGEM defined several anomalous trends, mostly from soils above a 30 ppb Au threshold, with most of the best anomalies reporting values in the 70 ppb to 200 ppb Au range.
Four PL applications were submitted in 1997 over the best anomalies in the central part of the Wa-Lawra Belt, to allow for further follow-up. AGEM refined the anomalies by more multimedia geochemical surveys, trenching and rotary air blast (RAB) drilling, and the northsouth oriented, 40 kilometre long, Kunche-Atikpi trend was identified running parallel to the main Jirapa Fault. Eight targets were tested by reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD), namely Kunche Main, Kunche West, Kunche North, Boiri South, Nyari, Doggo (Atikpi), Tanchera, and Duri. Despite some significant gold intercepts in both trenches and drill holes, the tenements were optioned by AGEM to the Canadian company, Semafo, in late 1999. Semafo did little work on the tenements other than outlining some more low-level soil geochemical anomalies between the Kunche-Atikpi trend and the Tanchera Granite, and they allowed the tenements to lapse.
Azumah Exploration
Azumah commenced exploration on the Wa Gold Project in 2006. This has led to the successful discovery of significant gold mineralisation and estimation of substantial gold resources at Kunche-Bepkong and Julie. A large number of additional gold prospects remain to be fully tested.
Exploration and discovery on the Wa Gold Project has been driven primarily by geochemistry and shallow percussion drilling (RAB and aircore). The earlier shallow soil surveys were followed up by deep Toyota-mounted power-auger sampling with regolith logging to control results. ). For auguring, a single sample is routinely collected from the bottom of each hole. Infill shallow-soil sampling is utilised where the regolith is erosional. Mapping of both regolith and bedrock geology has been carried out in areas of interest, incorporating interpretation of remote sensing and geophysical data.
Aircore drilling has generally been used in preference to RAB for geochemically focused testing of the regolith. For most holes, four metre composite samples have been collected from the entire regolith profile. Over the main target zones, holes are generally drilled at 50 to 200 metre intervals along 400 metre spaced traverses with infill follow-up of anomalous results.
The Azumah database contains data for 51,680 samples from 228,673 metres of auguring and aircore drilling, combined.
A detailed aeromagnetic and radiometric survey was completed in 2010 over the central part of the Wa-Lawra Belt (over the Vapor PL) and the Wa East area (the latter co-funded with Castle Minerals), with line spacing of 100 metres and sensor height of 40 metres. Two additional surveys, at 200 metre line spacing, were flown at the northern and southern ends of the Wa-Lawra Belt, to complete coverage of the complete Azumah tenement portfolio; all data are of high quality.
The geophysical data have been interpreted at 1:100,000 scale by Southern Geoscience Consultants Ltd and CSA. This interpretation also incorporated regional-scale airborne aeromagnetic and EM data. A geological interpretation of spatially enhanced (using ALOS Prism data) Landsat TM imagery for Wa East by Nick Lockett & Associates also incorporated the aeromagnetic data.
Due to low magnetic contrast, the mineralised structures along the Bepkong-Basabli shear zone cannot be resolved by the airborne magnetic data. Unfortunately, none of the local structures in the Kunche-Bepkong District can be resolved from the aeromagnetic data. However, the processed imagery has provided an excellent base for a new regional geological interpretation and targeting, and is very effective in structural targeting at Wa East.
In 2006, SAGAX Afriques undertook a gradient-array induced polarisation survey (IP) over the Kunche deposit. The processed data demonstrates that gold mineralisation is associated with coincident linear anomalies of high chargeability and high apparent resistivity, which are interpreted to be caused by disseminated sulphides and quartz veining, respectively.
In 2010, this first gradient array IP survey was extended to cover the Bepkong deposit, north of Kunche. In 2011, 32 traverses of 50 metre dipole-dipole array IP were surveyed over prospects at Kunche-Bepkong, Yagha and Atikpi (all in the Vapor PL), and the Julie, Collette and Josephine PL's in the Wa East area. The IP data, especially resistivity, provide excellent resolution of structure and lithology in the Kunche-Bepkong relay zone. This is due to the strong conductivity contrast between conductive variably carbonaceous phyllite and more resistive wacke. This has been an important input to targeting in this area.
Routine drill testing of targets has generally utilised RC drilling, but recently more extensive diamond drilling has been undertaken at most deposits and prospects. This provides valuable geological information for prospect evaluation and targeting.
Azumah has completed more than 200,000 metres of RC and diamond drilling, specifically aimed at target testing, with an additional 50,000 metres on infill drilling for resource definition.
Resource and Reserve Estimation
Mineral Resource Estimates (MRE's) have been completed for Kunche, Bepkong, Aduane, Julie, and Collette. MRE updates were completed in late 2012 to August 2014, incorporating additional infill drilling completed during 2012 and 2013. Ordinary Kriging (OK) was used to estimate grades into all block models for Kunche, Bepkong, Aduane and Collette, and each was validated with the inverse distance squared methodology. The MRE's have been reported at a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off in compliance with the Australian JORC Code. CSA Global estimated the Mineral Resources for Kunche, Bepkong, Aduane and Collette.
MRE for Julie was undertaken using Multiple Indicator Kriging (MIK) which was viewed as more appropriate taking into account factors such as the style of mineralisation and the interpreted controls of mineralisation which are different at Julie compared to the other deposits. Importantly the MIK process incorporates a relatively broad mineralised envelop as interpreted to constrain the estimate in contrast to the numerous tightly interpreted constraints of the OK methodology. This has the practical effect of introducing mining dilution and makes the direct comparison between an OK estimate and an MIK estimate inappropriate. Brian Wolfe estimated the Mineral Resources for the Julie deposit.
The Ore Reserves for the Wa Gold Project were determined by Kirk Mining Associates as part of a Feasibility Study Update that is being completed in 2014. The Ore Reserve estimate is reported under the JORC 2012 code.
For details of Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Estimates and Supporting information as per JORC Code 2012 Table 1 see ASX Announcement of 2 September 2014
