Family time with the Italian Queen
This bitch is remarkable. To have achieved all she has – the official outings, the television jobs, the money and the access, and now the most impressive accomplishment so far: George Clooney allowing himself to be photographed with her parents on holiday in Sardinia, almost a declaration, if you will, that he will do this for her, that she is worth it for him, that the world's most eligible, and hitherto eternal, bachelor has finally been claimed...?
Never mind the cocaine and prostitution scandal allegations. Perhaps it served her well. She came to him well prepared. And now she's enjoying the benefits. Here they are, in Sardinia, with her folks on holiday. George looks happy and relaxed, the happiest and most relaxed he's looked in a long time, taking some time before beginning work on Farragut North, his next directing assignment, the first since 2008's disappointing Leatherheads.
You know what will actually top it though? What would set the standard for all time?
If he puts her in his movie, if Elisabetta Canalis can pull that off, she really will go down as an iconic revolutionary, the Galileo of golddiggers and working girls.

Product Description
Finally, a neck humbucker that doesn't turn to mush when you dig in hard, even with chords. Aggressive and thick, but with superb clarity, the Chisel sets a new standard for heavy rock and metal. Unlike the competition, you can dial in a tight clear tone on the wound strings without the plain strings sounding thin or sterile. And the Chisel has loads of character... rich in harmonics, touch sensitive, and armed with an upper-mid attack that cuts like a knife. If you want your riffs to be heard loud and clear, this is your tool. And like all Railhammers, the extra clarity on the wound strings means they also work great with low tuned guitars.

Cytec's $439 Million Purchase of Umeco Likely Not Its Last Deal
Cytec Industries has caused a bit of an aerospace liftoff on the hopes of more M&A.
The specialty chemicals and materials said it would spend $439 million in cash to buy London-based Umeco PLC today, a transaction that boosts Cytec's composite material offerings, including to the aerospace industry.
Umeco's "advanced materials," used in aerospace, industrial and automotive manufacturing, have seen sales rise as composite metals become ever more popular. In automotive in particular, where Cytec gets a big boost with Umeco, composite metals are expected to expand in use as manufacturers look to reduce weight and ultimately lower emissions.
Cytec Chairman and CEO Shane Fleming said in an interview he is confident in the growth of the industries going forward.
"This is the type of acquisition we have been looking at for several years," Fleming said. "We are very pleased we were able to get this done."
Cytec had talked with Umeco before, though Fleming said not about buying it. The tone changed in July when Umeco sold off its supply-chain business and became more of a pure specialty composite materials company, Fleming said.
And Cytec is likely not done with acquisitions.
Fleming said the company will still look at other "bolt-on" acquisitions, along the size of Umeco. He said the acquisitions would also likely be companies that exist in areas Cytec already works, bolstering its presence.
Along with the purchase Cytec also boosted its own expectations for first quarter earnings, saying it expects earnings to be 45% to 50% above the current analyst expectations.
That helped boost Cytec shares, which jumped 11% to $64.06 on Thursday, at one point touching its highest price since 2007.
Also jumping were Hexcel Corp., another composite maker, up 10% to $26.70 and BE Aerospace, up 3% to $44.81.
RBC Capital Markets analysts said the outperformance from those two was tied to investors delivering an acquisition premium, given Cytec's purchase is the biggest deal in the space since United Technologies planned $16.5 billion purchase of Goodrich.
Fleming said the deal environment is robust, and that Cytec has been looking for other deals. He said the company "had a couple of other acquisitions get pretty close to the finish line" before Cytec backed out because of pricing or due diligence concerns. Now the deal environment is strong, and Cytec has the financing to do acquisitions, he said.
The company is also looking at spinning off its resin business this year. Jefferies analysts said Thursday there had been questions about how Cytec would use proceeds from that deal, but this acquisition strengthens management's position that deals are likely forward.

Dynacorn 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback Body - 1969 All Over Again
First Dynacorn Repopped The '67 Fastback Bodies. Now They're At It Again With The Iconic '69 Fastback, Just In Time For The '69's 40th Anniversary
In our June '07 issue, we reported on the then-new Dynacorn reproduction '67-'68 fastback body shells. We've subsequently covered numerous '67-'68s that have been built from the Dynacorn bodies, including Ford Component Sales' retro '67 fastback ("Back to the Future," Nov. '07, p. 22), as built by Classic Design Concepts. There's no doubt that even as we commence festivities on the Mustang's 45th Anniversary, '67-'70s remain among the most desirable and best-looking Mustangs of all time. In fact, '67-'68s are about the hottest of all, and that's why Dynacorn started with those cars. For additional reference, you can check out the story on the '67 bodies on our website at www.mustang monthly.com.
But for those who prefer '69-'70s, your time has come. Dynacorn is now offering brand-new Ford licensed reproduction '69 fastback body shells; they should be available by the time you read this.
We recently stopped in at Dynacorn's Oxnard, California, facility to photograph the details and features of these new bodies. This time, the company happened to have a '69 on wheels, fresh from its debut at the SEMA Show. That enabled us to roll it outside for better pictures. There's a lot of notable highlights on these bodies to investigate, so let's take a look.
Other Details
Dynacorn sales manager Larry Brogdin filled us in on other features incorporated into the Dynacorn body shells. In general, it applies to all three years of bodies that are currently offered: '67, '68, and '69.
"The metal used in these bodies is modern 1006 steel, which has lower impurities and controlled carbon content," says Brogdin. "The more consistent metallurgy allows the different-sized [thickness] steel to weld together with better penetration due to such a similar structure.
"We use modern welding equipment and techniques that do a superior job of permanently bonding the metal together. We have had tests done that show the metal fails before the welds, and we already know that the metal is better to begin with. There are also at least 20 percent more spot welds on our body shells than Ford used to assemble the original cars. We have also wire-welded where we feel it's needed over spot welds.
"On the occasions that SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) gauge metal does not transition to the exact thickness of metric equivalents (by 0.1mm increments), we automatically round up to the next tenth of a millimeter. In many cases [like the floor pan], we add an additional 0.1 mm of thickness after the rounding up. That's on a large structural part that adds rigidity to the entire unibody. We have also added to the roof panel, firewall, and quarter-panels using the 'round-up plus' technique.
"We have made certain parts of the body considerably thicker because we thought it would be a good thing to do. Over the years, we have seen lots of metal failures. Some were just because the metal was not strong enough in a certain situation. The trunk drop-offs, the rear cross rail, and the radiator support are parts that come to mind. They weren't very thick from the factory, but they are on these body shells.
"Structural improvements applied to original '69 Mustangs that were upgrades from previous-year cars are also present on the Dynacorn '69. This includes dual torque boxes, reinforced trunk-hinge arms, and wider and thicker big-block-type shock-tower braces to help prevent cracking of the tower."

It's 10:07 am on a Monday morning and every single one of my children are asleep on one of my couches. They're on the couches because the a/c unit for the upstairs of our house has broken, again, and it's hotter up there than it is in Denver right now.
(Yes, we have two a/c units and yes, I also thought this was the most outlandishly stupidly indulgent thing I'd ever seen...until I saw summer in Houston. Turns out, when one of them breaks, it takes two days of running the Last A/C Unit Standing ad 65 just to get your house cooled to a balmy 78, with 1,034% humidity.)
(That scream you hear on the 5th will be me, opening my electricity bill.)
They're asleep because we sat up until 12/12:30 watching some bullshit on the tv and playing games, like we do every night, beccause it's summer vacation and they weren't tired yet. They're tired now.
I always admired parents who could set a bedtime (7:30 seems to be the standard, from what I hear) and stick to it, even in the summer, even when the sun is up, even when there is not a damn thing to do the next day. I am not one of those people. On a school night, sure, we're all in our beds by nine, but I am one of those people that pronouces vacation harder than summer.
I believe in vacation. I believe in summer vacations. I don't agree with year round schools and I don't think that kids need to be shoved into a bunch of camps and classes to retain the infomation they learned the previous school year. (To let their parents go to work? Absolutely.) Summer vacation is survival of the fittest for education. What was taught well and what's important will stick...the rest will get washed away by the water park.
I think it's important for kids' brains to go fishing on a regular basis. I think it's important for the rest of them to, also, but that's just me and my unladylike hobbies talking.
I said everything else I had to say in my latest Momversation contribution. Which we are now doing solo. And it kind of freaks me out. See, voice for print.

François Nars and NARS Cosmetics created the makeup look at the Marc Jacobs SS2010 show. Below is information on the look and attached are some images for your reference. Please let me know if you have any questions.
SHOW: Marc Jacobs
LEAD ARTIST: François Nars, Founder and Creative Director of NARS Cosmetics
TREND: Theatrical Makeup
INSPIRATION: The look of the Marc Jacobs collection was inspired by the contemporary dancer, Martha Graham: Old-fashioned and theatrical but graceful and precise. At the same time, however, there was a darker side that was shone through: a quality of gothic romance. Ballerinas with a sense of mystery- as if part of them, along with some of their makeup, had been left behind on stage.
LOOK: Left-over stage makeup. The models weren't meant to have perfect makeup- rather, they were meant to encompass a "just came off-stage" effect. "Dancers in theater and opera always have white faces, pointed lips and an eye that is drawn outward, not upward-it's very theatrical, very ballet," said François Nars. He stressed the importance of the eye for this look, noting that "the shape of the eyeliner is important- it should open the eyes, especially underneath. The slashes of white is something they used to do in the 70s- it brings a 3-dimensional feeling to the makeup."
Below are some key products and steps for recreating the look:
· Blend NARS Siberia Sheer Matte foundation onto the face
· Set with NARS Snow Loose Powder for a white, pirouette-clown look
· Subtly contour and highlight, if necessary, with NARS Hungry Heart Blush Duo
· Dust the white shimmer from the left side of NARS Pandora Duo Eyeshadow on the eyelid
· Use NARS D.Gorgeous Single Eyeshadow (NEW for Spring 2010) in the crease
· Using the NARS Eyeliner Stylo in Nuits Blanches on the top and bottom lids, follow the shape of the eye, elongating it just past the outer corners but keeping the line straight and out, never moving upwards
· Use NARS Black Moon Eyeliner Pencil to enhance the eye
· After applying two sets of false eyelashes, apply one coat of NARS Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara followed by one coat of NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara
· Apply NARS Pop Life Velvet Matte Lip Pencil (NEW for Holiday 2009) to upper and lower lips, adding an extra layer on the top lip. Dab your finger along the lower lip to lightly fade the color so that the top lip is darker

Jon saw the orthopedic doctor/nurse practitioner on Wednesday morning. Not only did he chip/fracture the navicular bone in his hand, but at least one other bone and possibly 2 more! Poor kid! He will be in a cast for at least 4 weeks and possibly more. The good news is that he can play hockey! He is ecstatic! There a a couple of small, minor concerns. First, if he does fall and catch himself with the right hand, he may break the exposed fingers due to the placement of the cast. We are hoping that the hockey glove will prevent this. Second, he could really hurt someone else if he isn't careful because of how hard the cast is. Fortunately the next 4 weeks are just evaluations and team placements, not scheduled games. He sees the orthopedist again on October 15th for more x-rays. If the bones are all healed, the cast comes off. This is where they will be able to see the 2 bones that they were unsure of. The 2 bones in question are on either side of his wrist and are right where a couple of growth plates are located. Apparently waiting the 4 weeks will allow them to see the changes and healing and determine if he goes back in the cast or not. Jon is still in some pain. I am not sure if it is still the actual injury or the cast causing the pain now. He says there isn't enough padding under it and that he wants me to call the dr to take it off and put a new one on. I am thinking that he is just getting tired of the restrictions (no video games, football, etc) that have been forced upon him.
A picture of my prince in his cast (as you can see, he is beyond thrilled at being photographed for my enteratinment 😉 ):
Close up (you can see here that he has no movement of the thumb at all):
He chose red/scarlet for Ohio State. He wanted grey too, but the cast wasn't big enough to do 2 colors.
He has tried to get out of every chore he normally does. I was understanding the first few days, but now I am not. He still has a perfectly good left hand with which he can empty the dishwasher with. I spared him from loading (God knows that we don't need a wet and food covered cast to help speed along the smell that will start to come from within shortly), sweeping the floor and taking out the trash.
I have also rewarded him with lots of baked goods lately, including this awesome bread from Gluten-Free in the Country. This is an All Purpose Quick Bread and man, was it good! The kids loved it, as did I. It has stayed wonderfully at room temperature on my counter since Tuesday. Jon has eaten pulled pork sandwiches on it, PB & J and butter. Here are some pics of the bread:
All Purpose Quick Bread **Recipe Courtesy of Gluten Free in the Country
First mix:
4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cups mayonnaise
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Then add:
1 1/4 cups rice flour
1/4 cup sorghum
3/4 cup tapioca starch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
Mix well for about one minute. Pour into greased loaf pan (batter will be more like cake batter).
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes.

A 100-word location, inspired by this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_stalactite) and a classic fairytale.
A religious group has a vow of poverty. They have nothing except what is donated to them. Once a day the group walks through the town holding small baskets for offerings. Main purpose is to recieve their food for the day. Most families believe it is good luck to give the group small foods that they can spare. The group is very grateful for the donations and all bow in unison to each that gives a donation much to the amusement of many kids that enjoy giving the donation.

Five years ago I had 3 max offers on the table, but I chose to come to Boston for peanuts (5yrs/15 million) to team with Paul and get Boston number 18. We did that (see video after the jump) and while I don't really need the max, I need to be able to feed my family. I have 12 red headed stepchildren many people don't know about. I also need to get some better threads. You've seen what I wear? Eventually I plan on opening the Brian Scalabrine Dance School for underprivileged redheads and that also takes loot.While Lebron is trying to bring Scalbrine to Cleveland, Dwyane Wade is pitching the "Dream Team" idea to Lebron and Scal, where the three of them would all sign in Miami for a little less. In this scenario, Wade's puppy dog Chris Bosh would be left out cold. Scal is hesitant to go to Miami though as he feels his pale skin might not survive the Florida sun.
Right now we're hearing Scalabrine is leaning to joining the New Jersey Nets, as he likes the Russian Billionaire's pitch of money, winning, and women. If the Nets were to get a commitment from Scal, then Lebron, Wade and Bosh would all fight over the chance to be his wingman, his Robin. Chicago, as usual, has struck out again in free agency and are looking to their Plan F, which is signing Ron Mercer and Brad Miller. I guess that's what happens when you break up a dynasty with the best player to ever play the game (Well at least until that point. *Editor's note* No offense meant to Scalabrine).
As opposed to the King with no Ring's hour circus show announcement on ESPN, Scal will be announcing his decision in a local liquor store. In return Scal has been promised Narrangansett beer for life for him and his 12 redheaded step children. We'll keep you posted if we hear any more on Scalabrine's choice. Wade, Lebron, Bosh and the rest of the basketball world wait patiently. JR 7/07/2010 03:55:00 PM Tweet Edit

On Wednesday, 20th July 2011, we met Austin Mitchell MP first in the cafeteria in Portcullis House and then in Committee Room "O" for "Orange" or "Ominous".
We met to discuss the scope and need for charities to support victims of fraud and white collar crimes such as Victims Anonymous that I have envisaged and to fund a Helpline that Maggie Tuttle is keen to run.
I, Sabine K McNeill had invited Austin Mitchell MP who has sponsored our meetings at Westminster for many years,
Brad Meyer who has helped LOTS of victims and recently launched Help for Litigants in Person, published Vol. 1 of The Forensics of Legal Fraud and recorded the videos of our meetings in Westminster. He uses technology to enhance collaboration between people from different ends of a spectrum.
Paul Randle-Jolliffe who turned out to be a true gem in the network of lay advisors. He wrote this Brief on Family Law and Crimes as a basis for the Private Prosecution Service.
Paulette H Cooper wrote Vol. 2 of The Forensics of Legal Fraud about her horrendous experiences by a long list of white collar criminals.
Chris has a lot of experience with charities and has been most supportive of Paulette in her ordeals and attempts to get justice and compensation.
Maurice J Kirk BVScis the most chronic of all Litigants in Person I have ever met.
David Patterson who has a lot of political experience and helped many victims of white collar crimes and
Maggie Tuttle who had invited
David Ronson who had accepted to be a Trustee
and Barry K Millar who has a lot of experience setting up charities and had already prepared Objects and Activities together with Paulette and Chris.
When we mentioned Private Prosecutions to Austin as the potential Achilles Heel in the legal establishment, he turned them into "Public Protection".
Since our meeting Paul Randle-Jolliffe has launched a Private Prosecution Service, together with a retired barrister and a constable.
Austin accepted to be our 'patron saint' hovering over our activities.
Since these various facets and services embrace a lot more than a helpline, we felt comfortable with the Public Protection Network as our common denominator.
As I've been calling myself a networker ever since I discovered the term in the 70s, I was particularly pleased and would formulate our objectives as:
- protect the general public, or in legal terms, the Normal Man or Reasonable Person, from institutionalised white collar crimes
- by appealing to the Court of Public Opinion through Publicity Online
- and by using Private Prosecutions and other legal undertakings to support victims of fraud and white collar crimes.

Jerome Rose – IKIF
19th International Keyboard Institute and Festival at Hunter College
July 16th, 2017
Beethoven: Sonata in E-Flat Major, Op. 31, No. 3
Schumann: Fantasiestücke, Op. 12
Liszt: Sonata in B Minor
Last night the 19th season of the International Keyboard Institute and Festival began with the traditional opening night recital by Founder Jerome Rose. A major contribution to musical life in New York, the Festival provides two weeks of recitals by pianists at all different stages of their careers, lectures, master classes and a competition. Formerly located at the West 85th Street home of the Mannes College of Music (which has since moved downtown) the Festival is now in its third season at Hunter College.
Jerome Rose has had a long and distinguished career. Winner of the Gold Medal at the 1961 Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition, he has concertized all over Europe and this country, meanwhile devoting much of his time to teaching at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, and then at the Mannes College, where he has served on the faculty for close to 20 years. His teachers included Leonard Shure and Rudolph Serkin, whose attitudes towards artistry, and the score were serious, indeed. As he told me in a recent interview, working with them "was like reading the Torah; the score was sacred.Your job was to interpret the essence of this music; what it meant. Not to play the way you 'feel.'"
Mr. Rose has a similar devotion to the music. If there was occasionally a bit of rushing and a few wrong notes, there was no question of his passion and dedication to the music. He never takes the easy way out, such as using slower tempi, but throws himself totally into his work. His love and his passion for the music are always obvious.
The tempi for the Beethoven Sonata were generally on the fast side, including the third movement, which is usually played somewhat slower, but it worked this way. Mr. Rose brought out the witty syncopation near the end of the second movement. The last movement, though a bit messy, was brisk, indeed, but effective.
In the Schumann Fantasiestücke, which followed the Beethoven, "Des Abends" had a lovely lilt, and sensitivity. The beginning of "Grillen" was gruff, but a later section had great charm. "Fabel" had a nice jocularity about it whereas "Ende vom Lied" was played with determination and passion, though the middle section was light and even "cute."
As a pianist whose specialities include Liszt, the B Minor Sonata is a very important work
for Jerome Rose. In the interview he described it as not a normal sonata but "a grand opera" and also "an autobiography of Liszt's life." Mr. Rose's approach was heroic, and his performance full of drama and turbulence. There was great power and there were some impressive octave passages, as well as beautifully played quieter sections.
After the Liszt Sonata Mr. Rose thanked the audience for their attendance, and (in some cases) years of support of the Festival, welcomed them to the new season, and said he hoped to see them at many of the upcoming events.

How WeWork helped IBM fuel collaboration and innovation with key clients
40 Desks in WeWork National Building
Looking for an innovative way to work with one of its biggest clients, IBM created a "neutral space" where they can collaborate on great ideas.
Near the top of one of Chicago's longtime landmarks — the 1907 Classical Revival-style National Building — is one of the city's most inventive offices.
The first thing you'll notice is that it doesn't at all resemble a traditional office. It's large enough to hold nearly 40 desks, but the room has broken up into various types of workspaces: over here a couple of couches, over there a high-topped table surrounded by stools. Most of the furnishings are moveable, so the configuration might be totally different from one day to the next.
And this space at WeWork National Building is almost always in use, often by several clusters of people at once. These are IBM staffers engaged in "design thinking" sessions with one its most important clients.
That's the novel approach IBM is taking here: Creating a workspace that IBM Vice President Romas Pencyla likes to call "neutral ground." The official name is the Cognitive and Advanced Analytics Garage.
"It's a dedicated space just for IBM and our client, being at a WeWork building lets us both get out of our own office environment where there's always a meeting, always a call to take, always someone tapping you on the shoulder with a question."
Pencyla says the work is intense, rapidly putting together proofs of concept on various projects. But the environment — both in the dedicated office and in the rest of the WeWork space — fosters creativity.
"Getting people out of a traditional office culture and into a collaborative area accelerates the process for us," he says. "Both our folks and the client love coming here."
The office on the uppermost floor of WeWork National Building has been open since January, but Pencyla says it's already a success.
"This is exactly what we've wanted to do with a lot of our clients," says Pencyla. "We already have a space in New York so we can do the exact same thing. Our vision is to continually use WeWork in this fashion to help us think, collaborate, and innovate with our clients."

Money and workers are pouring into Williston, the capital of North Dakota's oil boom, but the only department store in town is a JCPenney, with a facade straight out of the 1950s.
"We desperately need some kind of shopping center or mall here in Williston," said Rev. Jay Reinke, a 20-year resident and pastor of Concordia Lutheran Church. "You have to drive hours to find decent shopping."
That drive is not getting shorter anytime soon. Real estate developers are finding loans and investments hard to come by from Wells Fargo, private equity firm Carlyle Group and other major American financial powerhouses for new department stores and other commercial property, as well as residential developments.
While billions of dollars in oil money may be rushing into North Dakota, big money has resisted financing large real estate deals there, barring some projects entirely and leading other developers to self-finance.
Many would-be financiers say the North Dakota oil patch real estate market is too hot to handle right now, with demand for housing outstripping supply, fueling high prices. The average two-bedroom apartment in the oil patch rents for more than $2,500 per month, helping drive land prices sky-high and sparking concern about a bubble.
National homebuilders such as Pulte Group, D.R. Horton and Hovnanian Enterprises have yet to enter North Dakota. Pulte said it was focused on improving its market share on the East and West Coasts, as well as some Midwest states. The other two declined to comment.
Part of the hesitancy stems from the reluctance of energy-field workers to move their families full-time to North Dakota, a step that would cause them to spend more money locally. The state's biting winter weather and remoteness have discouraged all but a few families, realtors say.
Data about home-building permits suggests workers are still keen to rent apartments rather than invest in housing and settle down. Only 20 permits were granted in Williston during the first five months of this year, compared to permits to build 482 apartment units, according to the city's building department. As recently as 2010 the number of homebuilding permits in Williston, a city of about 16,000, far outpaced apartment permits.
"At first we thought we really had to run fast to get position in the homebuilding market, and now we see a landscape that frankly isn't running away from us," said Terry Olin, a North Dakota native now exploring real estate projects in the state with Switzerland-based investment company Stropiq LLP.
Many banks remain wary of the past repeating itself. North Dakota saw a surge of oil activity in the 1950s and 1980s, only to have the flare-ups burn out, leaving many residents, municipalities and banks in debt after funding large projects. Williston alone had millions in debt from the 1980s oil boom as recently as 2005.
"What we don't want to do is go into a community like Williston and engage in speculative lending and not have an exit strategy," said Dan Murphy, Wells Fargo's regional president for North Dakota, South Dakota and western Minnesota. "We're happy to make loans. We want to be repaid."
The hesitancy comes even as Marathon Oil, Exxon Mobil, Statoil and dozens of other energy companies spend billions of dollars to extract North Dakota's oil and natural gas.
Many bullish geologists say the North Dakota oil boom will last for half a century at least, citing technological advances that have made supply easier to reach.
The Peace Garden State has the lowest unemployment rate in the nation and the fourth-lowest foreclosure rate on home mortgages. But many of the new jobs are filled by men living in temporary work camps who send chunks of their paychecks back to their families in other states, rather than put money toward longer-term investments locally.
That makes it tough for developers to argue oilfield salaries - many of which exceed $100,000 per year, far higher than the national average of $40,600 - will be spent on permanent housing or at stores that could anchor shopping centers.
"I don't think anybody can clearly articulate how any of this is going to develop," said Robert Stuckey, head of private equity firm Carlyle Group's U.S. real estate business, which has held off investing in North Dakota's oil patch. "There is inherently some ambiguity and therefore some risk to it."
Some developers have decided to write their own checks in the meantime. Private equity firm KKR, which broke ground last month on 330 apartments as part of a 164-acre housing development, has yet to convince a bank to fund a construction loan. Plans for the total project include 810 apartments and lots for more than 300 single-family homes.
"We believe there are financing alternatives available, but we're prepared to build all cash," said Michael Friedland, a principal with KKR.
KKR and smaller developers acknowledge that spending their own cash now, with the hope a loan will come later, could be considered a risk too large to take. But they feel science is on their side.
The rise of horizontal drilling, a complex process where energy companies drill down two miles then turn right to drill an additional two miles to extract oil, has vastly increased the number of wells tapped in North Dakota. The U.S. Geological Survey in April doubled its estimates for the amount of crude oil recoverable from the state's energy-fertile plains to 7.4 billion barrels.
Despite that bullishness, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup, the largest American banks, don't have retail branches in North Dakota, which has the distinction of being the least-visited U.S. state.
While a few national retail and restaurant chains, including McDonald's and Wal-Mart, have opened in Williston, they've found they need to pay workers starting hourly wages around $15 to $16, far higher than their other locations nationwide.
Home Depot Inc plans to open a small satellite store this summer inside an old warehouse in Williston. The location, the company's first in the city, will employ about 25 workers and have only a fraction of the products offered in its big-box stores.
So far, Home Depot said it's holding off on a decision to build a new hardware store in the heart of the oil patch.

If nothing else, Orlando's newest water-based attraction is eye-catching.
Motorists speeding along Interstate 4 may need to concentrate a bit more near the Sand Lake Road exit because a brightly colored water park has sprouted mere feet from the highway.
CoCo Key Water Resort is a recently rehabbed I-Drive hotel that backs up to the interstate, and one of its amenities is an area stocked with pools, water cannons, dump buckets and water slides, including three pretty intense rides cascading from a four-story tower.
You don't have to be a hotel guest to make a splash there. The resort sells day passes — with a Florida-resident discount.
The kiddie section of CoCo Key is shaded and features fun fountains, gentle slides and a zero-depth entry. The new canopy is 8 feet higher than before, sports skylights and provides better circulation. It looks like a fine refuge during a thunderstorm. (There's a bar handy, too.)
Next is a more standard pool with water cannons and a curvy slide for the tween set.
Out in the sun sits Parrot's Perch, a watery playground of steps, slides and various contraptions to soak families. Beware the giant bucket, which is said to unload 400 gallons onto guests below every 30 minutes, but during my visit it was more like every 5 minutes.
The intense end of CoCo Key is the area adjacent to I-4. From the highway, it's hard to understand what's going on with the red-and-white slide called Boomerango. Is that a big ramp to no where?
"The best way to describe it is it's a skateboard ramp — it's a half-pipe," says Frank Fry, general manager of CoCo Key. "You go down on an inner tube and it actually sends you up vertically before you come back down the other way."
It's one of only eight in the U.S. with this design, and the first in Florida, Fry says.
Surfer Splash is a tube ride mostly enclosed in yellow casing. My trip was surprisingly dry, skirting above the stream and curving down to a final drop hill. It's a fine introduction.
In deep, damp contrast is Over the Falls, a body slide of contrasting color sections. It's a tight, fast corkscrew with the visual impression of blue, orange, blue, orange, blue-orange blue-orange blue orangeblueorangeblueorannnnnnnnnnnnnge. If you say "Go Gators," you'll get a mouthful of water, so go ahead, try it.
It's a soaking splashdown, but one can't complain. It's a water park, mister! On the plus side, the drop isn't severe enough to create swimsuit wedgies.
By this point, the proximity of traffic had faded. There were never any exhaust issues for me, and the noise of the water park helps drown out the car sounds. The lounge chairs are arranged parallel to the road — not pointed toward the hubbub.
"We did put up a fence about 8 feet tall, and it has shading, so when you're sitting there you can't see the cars go by," Fry says, "But when you're driving by, you can see the height of the slide."
CoCo Key isn't jam-packed with options. I wish there were a sandy, less concrete area not so severe on bare feet or a place to float and just veg. On the other hand, you get what you pay for — the Florida resident pass is $14.99, way less than other full-blown water-park options in town.
"There was never any intention for us to compete against Aquatica or Wet 'n' Wild," Fry says. "We wanted an alternative for a younger audience, but we wanted a couple of attractions that would also be fun for a little bit older audience."
The water resort is fairly compact and easy for parents to monitor.
"Our water park is for a younger audience where mom and dad and a 5-year-old or a 6-year-old don't feel intimidated," he says. "They feel very comfortable and at ease with their kids here."
See for yourself

|Pilgrims at St. Edwards' Tomb
Enter the strategy of comparing behaviors. [Geez that sounds facile when I put it like that. (Maybe I should drop the "geez"). My anxieties about publishing anything-not-in-an-anthology are pathetically debilitating - ack!] - of comparing behaviors not to say "we are all the same," or "we are no better than the Middle Ages" (though the shock value of the latter statement has proven effective in shaking the complacency that we here and now live in the best of all possible worlds, or that our world needs no improvement), but rather to examine the conditions of possibility for both responses, to try and understand what's motivating and driving the actors in both scenarios. This is why in teaching relics and reliquaries I introduce the idea of the belief in the power/currency of saints' bones by asking a student if I may tear up his or her $20 bill. Of course I can't - why not? Because we somehow believe that that piece of paper, inked in that particular way, is worth something. And so the interest in the class discussion becomes "how materials of intrinsic non-worth come to have worth" instead of "medieval people were naïve for believing that old bones were worth something" (it's actually really helpful in teaching art period, and I never cease to marvel that paint and canvas, or bits of stone have come to mean so much).
And so at the end of a really swell Thanksgiving holiday which included hiking and movies and reading and talking with the kids, and talking about Egypt and California and protests and pepper spray and violence with the adults, I am left wondering about footage like the one I invite you to view below. Medieval pilgrims and their fervor tend to unsettle students. Perfect, let's bring that to Thanksgiving, its talk of pilgrims, and the modern incarnation of a fervent rush.
I am fascinated watching that crowd surge. It's not the secular, rational, controlled world I live in, and I'd never ever put myself there. But there's something satisfying in watching that powerful flow of people (maybe to compensate for all the crowds crushed by authoritarian regimes of late?). It's easy, as the commentators do, to dismiss their fervor as stupid and naïve, but they exist and they are driven and they are interconnected (by love of family, and pull of objects, and hope of connection and yes, even happiness) - and we should be asking why and how, for then and now.
