Ethanolamines Europe Transcript
The ICIS ethanolamines report has assessments for three main grades of ethanolamine that's monoethanolamine diethanolamine and triethanolamine, and when we're looking at the triethanolamine, we're looking at the 99% purity.
We assess the contract market on a monthly basis and within the report commentary itself, we look at what's going on in the spot market because that can have a guiding influence on where prices might be heading. To back up those price assessments we look at what's actually going on in those markets itself. How is supply, how is demand, what's happening upstream in the ethylene, ethylene oxide and ammonia markets, to see how that might have a guiding influence on the price.
We talk to a broad cross-section of people in the market. We talk to buyers and traders, producers, distributors and storage companies. We talk to all of these people to gain a consensus view of what's happening in the market and what could be happening in times to come.
People use our ethanolamines report in order to inform their business decisions, in order to decide when's a good time to buy or when's not such a good time, and really the unique thing about the ICIS report is that it is produced on a weekly basis which allows us to keep up to date on changing trends, or even, you know, important events that happen in the market, it could be a plant explosion or a plant shutdown, which you might not be able to keep up with so regularly with a monthly report.

Market overview
Ethanolamines: Market overview
Updated to Q3 2014
China's amines prices may dwindle in the third quarter given the surge of feedstock ethylene oxide (EO) supply. China will be adding 1.3m tonnes of EO capacity by the end of the first quarter next year, largely from the southern and eastern coastal areas. Despite seasonal peak demand, the Chinese triethanolamines market is expected to see prices capped owing to comfortable supply levels, with huge inflows from the Middle East.
Diethanolamines demand in China from glyphosate makers is seen weak, with seasonally reduced import requirements from end-users in South America during winter. Meanwhile, on monoethanolamines, the market is seen inundated with supply. Some makers raised production to make downstream derivatives, resulting in an oversupply situation.
European ethanolamines markets continue to see weak demand and plentiful supply. Russian product should be more prevalent in Q3 as Sintez OKA restarts its plant. In addition, US and Middle Eastern product is said to be plentiful in the market. European producers should continue to strongly resist price cuts given rising ethylene costs and squeezed margins, leading to pricing differentials between imported and local product.

Ethanolamines Methodology
About Ethanolamines
There are three main ethanolamines: monoethanolamine (MEA), diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA). They are produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide with ammonia with the product mix varying from an MEA content of about 70% to a TEA content of about 50% and any combination in between.
MEA's main use is in the manufacture of ethylene amines and imines, personal care products and detergents, and wood treatment. Applications for DEA include herbicides, detergents and personal care products and treatment of acid gases in refineries. A large portion of TEA goes into detergents and personal care products, engineering and metal working applications and concrete manufacture.
Ethanolamines are colourless liquids which can be hazardous in high concentrations.

Astronomer, Adler Planetarium
This conversation is closed.
LIVE chat with Lucianne Walkowicz on extrasolar planets and how that affects life on Earth, September 15, 1-3pm EDT.
Join us for a LIVE conversation with astronomer, extrasolar planet hunter, and TED speaker Lucianne Walkowicz.
The conversation will open at 1PM EDT, September 15th, 2011.
We'll start with the question:
"How does the exploration of our universe, in particular the search for planets like our own, inform our everyday existence here on Earth?"
Closing Statement from Lucianne Walkowicz
Thanks so much for joining me today, everyone! As I've said, learning about the universe beyond Earth really makes me appreciate the world we have here, right under our own feet. I think astronomy has the potential to unite us all, as we're all under the same sky and sharing in these discoveries. I encourage you all to keep listening for news both from Kepler and other teams-- the near future promises even more exciting finds, so stay tuned!
Sep 15 2011: The search for extrasolar Earth-like planets carries two main implications: 1) The prospect of human migration and 2) the possibility of intelligent, extraterrestrial life. With regard to the former, the main takeaway so far seems to be the rarity and preciousness of our world and the vast distances separating us from other habitable planets; so we had better take care of this one. For the time being, we have a moral obligation to assume that we, as a a self-aware embodiment of the universe, are alone in our responsibility to further its development.
If we do discover that we are not the only intelligent life forms in the universe (and I believe that we eventually will), it will inform our perception of the universe's continual self-organization and reaffirm our sense of being a stepping stone along that path. The search for planets and life forms similar to our own and ourselves should renew our moral obligation to survive and to design our own future.
We get to decide what the universe-as-us will become next. We need to take that role seriously and to learn as much as we can about other worlds and possibly life forms that are helping to carry this responsibility.
Sep 15 2011: Here's the word on Kepler's newest discovery, a planet orbiting not one but TWO stars! It's not exactly Tatooine, but it's close :)
Sep 15 2011: Hi Lucianne - great question! I think the search for planets like ours does have an interesting impact on our everyday existence for a couple of different reasons. First, every time the discovery of a new "earth-like" planet happens, people like me get really excited...and then I remember that I won't be alive by the time we are able to verify this type of thing by actually travelling there :). But kidding aside, I love to think about the possibilities, so please do keep the discoveries coming!
The second thing I see happening when new planets are announced is of course the possibility of there being life elsewhere in the galaxy - for me personally, I am certain there is life out there, so it gets me really excited to think about it, but then there is also that moment of what are the actual implications of there being life elsewhere, what does that say about us, how do we fit in to this, etc.? Hope that makes sense!
I definitely do react every time another planet is found, and thinking about all of the possibilities is a fun exercise (my husband likes thinking about it too, so great conversations always ensue). The work you do really fires the imagination, and with so many people on earth focusing on the daily problems of our planet, it seems like space is often ignored in favour of what is happening in the present closer to home. It is a breath of fresh air to know there are people out there with a larger vision who are actually doing research that could impact the long-term viability of our species - keep up the great work!!
Sep 15 2011: Hi Genevieve! I'm glad you find our work inspiring-- I know I do!
The image that always springs to my mind is one of a fish tank or terrarium-- we're slowly gaining an awareness that our world is but a small corner of a much larger space (hope THAT makes sense!). I would hope that an increased awareness of worlds outside our own would give us a greater feeling of being "in it together" instead of focusing on our differences.
Sep 15 2011: I was actually wondering the same. Would the knowledge that there are other Earths out there change the way we treat our planet? if we jump (far) ahead to an age where we become a space-faring species, would we actually have grown in wisdom and try and preserve our resources, or on the contrary, having discovered there is an abundance of it around us, jump from rock to rock to harvest it. I have seen studies about capturing asteroids in Earth orbit to mine them! So this idea isn't actually so far fetched. Should our space environment be a "universal park" ? Or should some places be opened for mining and other such activities?
Sep 15 2011: I've wondered about this too! What are the moral issues associated with terraforming a planet? Do we have a right to go turn Mars into whatever we want it to be? I'm not really sure what the answer is-- in a sense, yes, the solar system is a "natural space", even if we can't breathe in most of it :)
Sep 15 2011: I think the discovery of other life Earth-like planets, especially the discovery of lots of them, could possibly have an adverse affect on the way we view our planet.
If it is true that there are literally millions and millions of planets which are capable of supporting life, we may view each planet with a lesser degree of respect or 'specialness', especially by those who want to command and conquer.
Planetary ethics are certainly something to think about.
Sep 15 2011: I love the fish tank analogy Lucianne! I hear what you are saying about being "in it together" - my husband and I have often speculated that the only thing that could suddenly bring us together as a species (i.e. end conflicts, etc.) would actually be the discovery of a totally different species of intelligent life, suddenly we would have a new "them" :). I am not really as cynical as I sound though, and like other contributors to this conversation, I have high hopes that our species will move past some of our current issues and embrace the idea of being part of something much bigger than we are.
Sep 15 2011: I think the discovery of simple life-forms would be well received by the majority of communities around the globe, but I'm unsure that the discovery of intelligent and highly complex life would be met in the same manner.
I think humans have long believed they are in some way unique or hold a 'special' place within our Universe, so the discovery of other life forms would put us firmly in our place. Personally, I think the biggest challenge many cultures will face is a conflict with religious ideologies.
Sep 15 2011: I was *just* talking about this last night! how religious metaphpors are becoming outdated with our increasing understanding of the universe and how we function within it. that morality and humanity itself will shift and adapt to encompass an entire 'human kind' rather than us vs. them in the next thousand or so years. main attribution to joseph campbell.
Sep 15 2011: I would be amazed to see how other life-forms view the Universe. It would be interesting to find out if other intelligent beings ponder the same religious questions most of us ask ourselves here on Earth. I am inclined to believe they do, but perhaps religious pondering is uniquely anthropogenic?.
Sep 15 2011: That's a really interesting question! I would guess that if we came into contact with other intelligent life, there'd be something of a "selection effect" in that aliens curious enough to also explore the universe would naturally be given to pondering their existence, whether they ascribed it to a godlike figure or not.
Sep 15 2011: That promises fascinating and inflamed debates between future ethicists, environmental activists, governments, corporations, etc.! I'm afraid a day will come when we just abandon our good old Earth and scavenge what we can where we can. I hope humanity wakes up before we have to start making WALL-Es to clean up our mess while we wait in space :)
Sep 15 2011: First of all thank you for organising this Lucianne! It's a great privilege for us to be able to interact with scientists on their topics.
I'll start by answering your first question.
Even though we're slowly getting closer to establishing a list of planets in the goldilocks zone that can harbour life -based on our models. However, I'm afraid we're stopping short of really "proving" there is life out there, and that skeptics will always point at this fact.
I believe -personally- that the time we are living now is an exceptional one, and I do believe this search for planets like ours is a truly exciting adventure, and a real paradigm shifter in terms of philosophy, religion, sociology, and so many other fields! Proving that we're not a special planet in a special system is essential, and CoRoT, Kepler, and HARPS help do just this :). And this quest is for me enough reason to pour more resources in the field to develop the means to characterize precisely atmospheres of other planets, the sooner the better!
Sep 15 2011: Well, we're not really "stopping short" of proving that life is there-- that's the next goal, to be sure! We don't have the tools to be able to detect life yet, but I think we're capable of building them and doing exactly that.
I definitely agree that this is a very exciting time for astronomy and humanity alike!
Sep 15 2011: A very positive view :) So you believe we will be able to achieve instruments that positively identify specific chemicals in other atmospheres? That would be an incredible achievement for sure! I also wonder at the capability to detect potential rocky moons orbiting the many gaseous giants we know of
Sep 15 2011: Yes, there are several designs for missions that will be able to characterize planetary atmospheres-- we can actually already do this for big gas planets now from the ground (though of course we don't expect those to support life). Of course the challenge is funding-- these are complex missions and they need to be based in space to do that work, which is expensive.
Sep 15 2011: Hey everybody, the media briefing on our new discovery will begin in a few minutes on NASA TV! You can watch it live here: http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html
Sep 15 2011: In regards to the sheer amount of Goldilocks zones; permissible planetary orbits, oceans, plate tectonics, oxygen content, heat content, tilt of axis, stabilizing satellites, etc etc
Is there any correlation between the more you learn, and the more pessimistic you become at our chance of ever discovering life other than our own in the milky way?
Sep 15 2011: Tell me Lucianne do you agree that is was lightening or some sort of electrical charge that has effect the surface of Mars to what we see it as today? Also curious on your thoughts about Elenin (sp?) and it's affects on the planet as well as NASA's tracking of major earthquakes they believe are in direct correlation to Elenin's planetary alignment
Sep 15 2011: The distances between the stars, combined with the difficulty of actually propelling our rockets fast! It's so far to even the closest star that even if we sent a probe there now, everyone alive today would be long gone by the time it got there. To give you some idea of how fast spacecraft go, Voyager was a mission launched in the 70's that *just* left the solar system this past year! The fact that it takes so long to get anywhere means also that it'd be a particular challenge for humans to travel between the stars.
There has been some recent talk about sending a probe out to the nearest star system, even knowing it won't return any news for a hundred years-- it'd be something of a long-view investment in our space program. Unfortunately it's pretty hard to justify something like that when people know they won't see results in their lifetimes.
Sep 15 2011: there was a quote from the series 'A Song of Ice and Fire' book one Game of Thrones where Twyin Lannister was giving insight about what continues when we die, how it will only be the Lannister name that continues on once they are all dead and buried. Do you think there is anything that could motivate a global consciousness to care enough about propegating our species simply for the sake of keeping humankind alive even if we wont see the results?
Sep 15 2011: Erin, are you asking about terraforming planets so that they're more like Earth? I think that's definitely a possibility-- after our, own Earth didn't have an oxygen-rich atmosphere until the rise of cyanobacteria, who modified the atmosphere and changed thing forever. I could imagine maybe using a bioengineering approach to help ameliorate otherwise inhospitable worlds. Certainly lots of sci fi writers have imagined similar things!
Sep 15 2011: It should enlighten us about the need for sustainability as we will undoubtedly search for planets that have resources we can survive on - thus highlighting the value of our resources here on Earth.
I also agree with Ayazs point in that it will lead to us questioning the possibilities of our own evolution.
Sep 15 2011: Definitely! As the saying goes, "good planets are hard to find". Because interstellar travel is still such a technological challenge, it's pretty unlikely that we'll be able to mine other planets outside our own solar system for resources-- and even in our solar system, we have the lion's share of stuff like water. It really highlights the value of the resources we have here.
Ben Lillie 500+
Sep 15 2011: Well, I think the technology to land on an asteroid has been around for a while-- there have been various missions with that sort of thing in mind, although ultimately they've all ended up being canceled. Many of those missions have wanted to do what we call "sample return", where we scoop up some material and then send it back to Earth. That's a small step to actually mining, but it's the same idea on a small scale.
Sep 15 2011: I agree! For me it also resonates with our appreciation of the environment as well. It's such a challenge to even find another planet the *size* of Earth, let alone one that is really like our Earth-- and an even greater challenge to ever go there. It really makes one appreciate the natural beauty of our own planet and the importance of preserving this precious place.
Sep 15 2011: Well, I had more been thinking of "exploration" in the non-physical sense, but you're right that many challenges await us as we turn our sights to actually sending humans into the beyond. Just yesterday, NASA announced a major step in that direction-- the new Space Launch System that will help send mankind beyond Earth and the Moon. Check it out here:
Sep 15 2011: I think the exploration of the universe reflects our own need to constantly connect and strive to understand what's going on with the world around us, not just in our own backyard, but on a global scale.
When exploring our universe have you notice anything interesting or peculiar that has changed the way you perceive or view the world Lucianne?
Sep 15 2011: I'd say being an astronomer has given me an additional layer of depth in how I experience everyday things. Like anyone, I can appreciate a sunny day-- but because I also spend much of my time thinking about things like sunspots and solar flares, I think about the fact that our sun isn't just a glowing, static orb, but is instead a dynamic object!
Sep 15 2011: Well Searching For The Answer For Human Existense Is Still Anonmymous Though..........
But Relatively Searching For Planets Across The Universe Like Mars(The Current Mission) Although Provide Some Info About Us And How All These Planets And Rather How We Evolved!!! The Data Is Very Much Useful For Answering Many Questions!!!!

In a world where flesh is our mirror, the love we show for all living beings in flesh is certainly not love. The mental show with which we justify the feeling of love while the mirror of flesh shows the dishonesty, is the way of the lie. The living world as flesh on earth shows only that hate has become reality and is spreading fast as more and more find themselves without physical support. What human could possibly promote a feeling of love when the flesh of love do not represent this love in action? Self honesty as the living flesh is the most difficult thing that exist and will mirror who is here as Life and who is here as mental energy Ego.
When something makes you think, it is a trap you set for yourself. You must take it to action, or change will not happen and you will end up as a philosopher instead of a living being.Bernard Poolman

Canned Food Art Sculpture to Be Erected at Ralph Ellison Library
What will the Oklahoma Food Bank need during the holiday season? A Great Pyramid of Food, that's what.
You can contribute to the creation of a sculpture made of canned food by bringing some "building blocks" of food to the Ralph Ellison Library, 2000 NE 23rd Street. The construction of the sculpture will take place on Saturday, November 20, beginning at 11:00a.m. The sculpture will remain on display at Ralph Ellison before the canned food is donated to the Oklahoma Food Bank.
"I know we're not supposed to play with our food," said librarian Anna Todd, "but just this once I think it'll be okay. We'll make sure the cans stay in good shape for their trip to the Food Bank."
The Oklahoma Food Bank is especially appreciative of non-perishable foods as it is in need of food all year round and not just during the holidays, when giving is at its height.
"A lot of good people who are going through tough times right now need our help," added librarian Taryn Kingery. "This food sculpture is our way of drawing attention to the problem of hunger and kid around a little at the same time."
For more information about the Ralph Ellison Library Canned Food Art Sculpture, call the library at 424-1437. For more information about this or any Metropolitan Library System program, visit the MLS website, www.metrolibrary.org.
The Metropolitan Library System of Oklahoma County includes 12 libraries and five extension libraries. Libraries include Belle Isle, Capitol Hill, Ralph Ellison, Ronald J. Norick Downtown Library and Southern Oaks in Oklahoma City, as well as Bethany, Choctaw, Del City, Edmond, Midwest City, Village and Warr Acres. Extensions are located in the communities of Harrah, Jones, Luther and Nicoma Park and include Wright Library in Oklahoma City. You can also reach us at www.metrolibrary.org.

5 Huge Stocks to Trade for Gains in March
With such a big onus on the broad market moving higher, it makes sense to look at the S&P 500 SPDR ETF (SPY), an exchange-traded fund that acts as a very good proxy for the broad market. A quick glimpse at SPY's chart says just about everything you need to know about the big index right now: Things look stellar.
The S&P has been in a multi-stage rally since the market bottomed in 2009. More important, that rally has been orderly, with rally legs separated by intermediate corrections that allow overbought momentum to bleed off. With SPY smack dab in the middle of its latest rally leg, we're in a good position to see a new all-time high get set in stocks before the next correction comes around.
For investors looking to broadly "buy stocks," an ETF such as SPY is a good option. It provides a diversified basket of equities with a single trade. That said, I'd recommend waiting for a pullback to this rally leg's support level before jumping in. Then, keep a tight stop at the 50-day moving average; if SPY breaks below that level, another corrective leg is likely.

So The Foxes are officially back with a brand new single and brand new video of epic proportions. 'Country Low' is the first single from their yet unreleased and unnamed debut full length album. The video uses images from classic retro video game 'Space Quest II – Vohauls Revenge'. Lead singer Nigel Thomas tells me he painstakingly spent hours and days, piecing the very imaginative video together. I'm also told this won't be the last one either, as the band aim to do a video for every single song on the album!
Well enjoy this slice of Foxes magic, this is Country Low (which is also available to buy now too – iTunes, Amazon, Spotify etc..)

They should make an animated short where Sully is an old monster and spent the remainder of his life after scaring remaking Boo's door. When he finally finishes the door he goes back to Monsters Incorporated and places it in a door slot. The light turns on and Sully opens the door to find Boo's room. He shuffles in and stands next to the bed. There is a girl in it, but it isn't Boo. Sully frowns and starts heading back to the door. However before he could reach it he trips and falls creating a loud thud and waking the girl. The girl looks down at Sully and is terrified. She does not scream she just runs out of the room. Sully can not get up, he is to weak to lift himself. Minutes later the girl returns with a women in hand. The women lets go of the girls hand and covers her mouth as she gasps. She runs over to Sully and lifts his head up and looks at him with tears in here eyes. "Kitty?" She asks. Sully smiles and says "Hi Boo." He watches the tears roll down her face as he begins to drift away. Then everything goes black.

Verizon Wireless Could Bring Windfall to Vodafone
Jacob is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Note: A previous version of this article inaccurately referenced Verizon's recent share performance. This error has been corrected.
Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and Vodafone (NASDAQ: VOD) are once again in the news, following reports that the companies held extensive talks about the future of the Verizon Wireless joint venture last year. The rumor mill has it that the UK mobile giant and Verizon discussed a range of options last year, including a sale of Vodafone's share in the joint venture and a full merger of the partners. Vodafone and Verizon have declined to comment on the latest report, but reports claim discussions stalled over "disagreements on leadership and headquarters location."
We will probably never figure out the truth but the reports seem to have fueled a rally in the ADR units of the UK mobile giant, which has advanced more than 6% in the prior week. Meanwhile, Verizon shares have surged about 8% over the same time frame. It is no secret that Verizon is very much interested in keeping hold of Verizon Wireless, given the fact that the mobile operator makes the most money for its parent. This essentially means that Verizon is an interested buyer and will need to cough up some serious money to acquire the 45% in the venture it does not already own. While nothing is set in stone yet, by some accounts, this stake could be worth $115 billion. A full takeover of the venture by Verizon has been tipped for some years now though earlier talks in this direction never reached advanced stages.
An exit from the venture also makes sense for Vodafone, which had been under pressure from investors as Verizon Wireless did not return a dividend for a long time. This was in sharp contrast to Vodafone's general corporate approach of offering generous dividends. The trend came to an end in early last year when Vodafone finally received a $10 billion payout, followed by a $3 billion dividend in November. However, vocal shareholder groups continue to argue that the US is not a mainstream market for Vodafone – a criticism largely true. Vodafone has embarked upon a strategy of exiting operators where it does not hold a controlling stake, leading to the sale of significant holdings in China Mobile and France's SFR in recent years – leaving Verizon Wireless as the only remaining major operator where it holds a minority holding. Vodafone chief executive Vittorio Colao has maintained it several times that he has an open mind about what will happen to the US unit.
The buyout deal, as and when it happens, will essentially be a value unlocking exercise and both parties stand to benefit, although benefits for Vodafone may be apparent a bit too quickly. For Verizon, the gains may be dampened by the high cost it will need to pay to acquire the stake. In the past, discussions regarding a merger between the companies stalled, as Verizon is not interested in moving to Europe and neither is Vodafone chief Colao in giving way to new management as yet.
If there is one party that will be adversely affected by the transaction, it has got to be AT&T (NYSE: T), which remains the leader in the US wireless telecom despite tough competition from Verizon. Full control over its fast growing wireless business will give Verizon extra elbow room to compete with its larger rival. AT&T also made some progress in similar vein by proposing to acquire T-Mobile before its efforts were cut short by hostile regulators. Overall, investors in Vodafone stand to benefit from the windfall if the deal goes through, while Verizon and AT&T could face some pressure depending on how the talks progress.

Perhaps the Dolphins should be grateful former Miami Northwestern quarterback Jacory Harris didn't end up on an NFL roster this season.
As it was, the Dolphins went 0 for 3 this year against quarterbacks who played their high school ball in South Florida. Previously, the Dolphins lost twice to the Buffalo Bills and Thad Lewis, who played at Hialeah-Miami Lakes.
And on Sunday, New York Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith — who prepped at nearby Miramar High — delivered the final blow to Miami's season with a 20-7 win at Sun Life Stadium.
"It's been a blessed and great day for all of us," Smith said, referring to not only the victory but also the news that popular Jets coach Rex Ryan would return next season.
"It was a jubilant locker room. Everyone was ecstatic, grabbing one another, jumping around. You would have thought we won the Super Bowl."
That didn't happen, but the Jets kept their rivals, the Dolphins, out of the playoffs.
Ironically, the Dolphins dominated Smith at the Jets on Dec. 1, winning 23-3. Smith was held to 29 yards passing and two rushing before being benched in favor of Chris Simms, an even-more-untested quarterback.
"After the benching, I had to dig deep," Smith said. "It's the first time I've [been benched] in my life. I didn't like it, but it's part of the decision making and coaching, so I had to continue to believe in myself."
One of the adjustments Smith made since the benching was running the ball more.
In the past four games, Smith has rushed for at least 44 yards each time out. The results have been startling: a 3-1 record and just two interceptions with no fumbles.
In the previous 12 games, Smith had a 5-7 record, 19 interceptions and eight fumbles, including four that the Jets lost.
And of his 366 yards rushing this season, 186 have come in the past four weeks.
"[Jets coaches] have been telling me [to run] all year," Smith said. "But early on, I was so focused on my reads and trying to see the defense and figuring things out that I didn't play the game."
Smith scored the winning touchdown Sunday — a 7-yard run with three seconds left in the first half. Smith scrambled slightly to his right before turning upfield and finding some sturdy opposition in Dolphins linebacker Dannell Ellerbe.
That's when Jets running back Bilal Powell made one of the most-underrated plays of the day, pushing Smith from behind and allowing his quarterback to crash into the end zone.
"I was really struggling right there with that linebacker," Smith said. "It was very smart on [Powell's] behalf to give me that extra push."
Dolphins linebacker Philip Wheeler noticed a change in Smith's game on Sunday.
"He ran the ball a little more," Wheeler said. "They changed their game plan a little bit. They did a good job."
Smith finished Sunday with 17 completions in 27 attempts for 190 yards. It was his second straight game without a turnover, a remarkable stat given that he had lost the ball 25 times in his first 14 games.
As for playing so close to home, Smith said it was not a big deal.
Smith may be a rookie, but he oozes the confidence of a veteran.
"It was the same," Smith said. "It's still a game. I've been playing in Florida my entire life, so it's no different."

Just minutes after our daughter's bloody birth, I worked to save my wife. Renesmee had taken so much out of her, I didn't know if she would make it. No, I couldn't think that. I would just have to hold onto that tiny shred of hope that she would make it. That was the only thing keeping me alive now. Her heart had stopped, and I now pumped her chest as quickly as I dared.
"Bella, you stay with me now. You stay with me. You can't leave me," I growled. The fierceness was better than the pain, the pain that threatened to obliviate me.
I don't know how it happened, but I heard her in that last moment of sanity.
I'll come back for you, Edward. True love never dies.

this is such a sad story to write. *sniffle* enjoy. :)
1. Eighteen Years Later, Still Not Any Better.
Were vampires able to go crazy? After what I had been through, otherwise known as hell, I would think so. Eighteen years, five months, thirteen days, eight hours, forty-five minutes, and twenty-two seconds since...she...died. Twenty-three. I couldn't bear to think her name; the onslaught of memories always brought me to my knees. Twenty-four.
I was like a zombie nowadays. Only Alice and Renesmee ever tried to talk to me. They were the only ones that understood what I was going through. Even Tanya avoided me.
Another day was ending in the Alaskan wilderness. We lived with the Denalis now, though we were planning to move soon. I didn't know where; I didn't join in on the conversations. And I was too far out of it to listen to their thoughts. Or maybe it was because I didn't want to socialize with the people who prevented me from following...her...out of this cruel, cruel world.
"Dad?" Renesmee walked up to my immobile form, curled into a ball on my bedroom floor.
"Oh, hi, Nessie." I forced myself to be somewhat composed when talking to my daughter. She didn't have to see how badly I was coping. She was doing pretty well herself, and I didn't need to ruin her progress.
"Jacob and I are going into town. Um, well, just wanted to let you know." I knew that she was checking up on me. Making sure I was doing okay. My loving, caring, precious daughter.
I looked into her eyes. Her...eyes were the only things that survived; Nessie's were an exact copy. It was like they were a drug to me. I knew it was bad for me, but every time I saw Nessie, I couldn't help but stare into her eyes. To take another addictive hit.
"Have fun," I said without much enthusiasm.
"Love you, Dad." She skipped over to me and kissed my cheek.
"Love you too, sweetie."
She left, and I was back to my useless mourning. Not for long, though.
Alice tapped softly on my door.
"Can I come in?" I couldn't force my lips to move, but she came in anyway. That's Alice for you. "Edward, you seriously need to stop this. Believe me, I know what you're going through. But it's been eighteen years, Edward. You need to move on."
If I was a cartoon character, steam would have been escaping from my ears. What went on in that mind of hers that made her think that I could move on, just like that? I lost the love of my life. That's not something you can move on from.
She took an unnecessary deep breath. "We've enrolled you in the Portland high school."
I looked at her in shock. What were they thinking?
"Don't look at me like that. You need to get out. I mean, when was the last time you hunted? It's not good for you to sit in here all day, every day." She started towards the door. "We're leaving in three days. Be ready by then."
My second visitor was gone, and I contemplated what she said. I didn't want to accept it, but she was right. Eighteen years was a long time. But it was...her, part of my mind said. I know that. But Alice is right. I need to move on. No matter how hard that might be. She...wouldn't want me to be like this. She'd want me to be strong, the other part said.
And, for the first time in months, I got up.

Most Helpful Positive Review
I have had a Hush Puppy shoe almost exactly like this since 1998, and it was given to me then, so don't really know how old this pair is. The heel style is the only difference. Alas my pair is starting to look frayed at the stitches and the coloring is cracking. I have worn them with anything from capris to suits. They have been the MOST comfortable and versatile pair of shoes I have ever owned. I have searched many stores, on line, and in catalogs and have been unsuccessful in finding a replacement. I am so delighted to find them again at the Hush Puppy web site. I am placing my order and hope to find them equal to my old ones.

Vancouver Whitecaps 2-2 tie at home to Seattle Sounders on Saturday was further proof of the progress being made by the team. It was a positive afternoon for the second-year MLS club, but as the full-time whistle blew, there was an air of disappointment around BC Place as the home side gave up a late goal to see a win slip from their grasp.
The Whitecaps proved they have the quality to go toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the league, but ended the match knowing they wasted an opportunity to take all three points against a Western Conference foe. When Camilo's free kick gave Vancouver the lead for the second time in the match with just eight minutes left to play, Martin Rennie's team should have been able to close the game out.
A defensive misjudgment led to Fredy Montero having the opportunity to score the game-tying goal in the last minute of play, but the Whitecaps' frustration was also due to their missed opportunities in front of goal.
The 'Caps should have built on their one-goal advantage before Seattle tied the match for the first time just after the break. With the score at 1-0 to Vancouver, Darren Mattocks had two great opportunities to double the lead. The second overall pick in this year's SuperDraft lacked the necessary composure in front of goal, and ultimately the 'Caps were made to pay for those missed chances.
The positive for the Whitecaps from Mattocks' performance was that he was able to get into those positions to have a clear sight at goal. He should have been more clinical with his finishing, but the fact he was able to use his pace and was in the right place to be effective gives a good indication that he can play a valuable role in the future.
Seattle came into the match with the best defensive record in Major League Soccer, having only conceded four goals this season and never having let their opponents score more than one, but Vancouver's first-half play caused big problems for the Sounders back-line.
Mattocks' speed was a big reason for the 'Caps success against the usually solid Jeff Parke and Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, and teenager Omar Salgado was also very influential down the left wing in the first 45 minutes of the match, including an excellent pass to Alain Rochat to start the move for Vancouver's first goal.
After his midweek heroics in the Canadian Championship against Toronto FC, Eric Hassli's omission from the Whitecaps starting lineup was certainly a talking point, but in talking to Martin Rennie ahead of the game about his lineup decisions, it was clear he had a very specific plan of how his team could be most effective against the Sounders. He also has to look ahead right now with Vancouver in the midst of a run of big games in both league and cup.
The 'Caps coach explained that Mattocks had earned his chance to start because of his performances in training. The Akron product has had a tough time during the opening weeks of his professional career being sidelined after burning his arm in a cooking accident, but he had shown the coaching staff that he was ready to be given his chance.
Rennie's plan to use Mattocks' speed to cause problems for the Seattle back-line certainly worked. He also felt Hassli would then have the opportunity to be more effective off the bench by using his strength in the latter stages of the match against a tiring defence.
Although they ultimately ended the game in a disappointing manner by conceding the late equalizer, Rennie's astute use of substitutions gave his team the best possible chance to win.
John Thorrington's introduction for Salgado allowed the Whitecaps to gain more of a grip in midfield at a time when the Sounders had been dominating the possession. Hassli's arrival in place of Mattocks provided Seattle's defence with a completely different type of forward to deal with, and Camilo's goal just after coming into the match is the sort of thing that makes a manager look like a genius.
Rennie is able to put a great deal of thought into which players can influence games because of the options he has available to him. In the club's current busy schedule, it is also easier for him to keep his squad happy even if they aren't starting the match because he is rotating players and they know there is another game just around the corner. However, Rennie admits it might be a different proposition next month when the club has just four matches, and he will then have a better opportunity to play what he considers to be his strongest eleven each week.
Rennie's decisions will only become harder as the season progresses. He still intends to strengthen. The arrival of Barry Robson plus a couple more potential additions will certainly give the 'Caps a boost, but it will likely also lead to some players currently on the team finding their playing time drastically reduced or even leaving the club.
The Whitecaps are far from the finished product, but the building blocks continue to be put in place. Rennie is targeting specific positions for the team to strengthen and is looking much further than simply putting a team on the pitch that can challenge for a playoff position this season.
The Whitecaps have come a long way in a short space of time and Saturday's performance against Seattle was another example of that. There will still be off-days such as the defensive debacle in New England last week, but as long as the 'Caps continue to learn from their mistakes, they will give themselves a very good chance to make it into the postseason.

In an "off the record" segment of Obama's interview with CNBC, Obama commented on the Kanye West and Taylor Swift incident saying that Kanye acted like a "Jackass". Read more and hear the actual audio of Obama slamming Kanye below.
It's pretty bad when the President of the United States calls you a Jackass. And that's just what happened…
Obama's comments were caught by ABC newsman Terry Moran. Moran tweeted: "Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a 'jackass' for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT'S presidential."
But because the comments were supposed to be off the record, Moran took the tweet down… but not before many people read it!
The audio was captured just before Obama's interview with CNBC, and Obama was discussing Kanye's antics onstage at the MTV awards and said, "I thought that was really inappropriate," adding, "He's a jackass."
Immediately after his comments the President said, "Cut the President some slack."

By day, Tara Ferdelman is a project manager at brand design agency LPK. By night, she hosts at Clifton's La Poste eatery, where new dishes are always coming out of the kitchen. We talked to the hardworking OTR resident about everything from piercings to Pinterest.
I've seen pierced noses, lips, and tongues, but never décolletage. Until now. Tell me about that jewel on your chest. It's almost like a surgical procedure called a dermal punch. I can change the jewel, but the opal goes with everything. When we met, you were wearing a pair of fabulous electric-blue suede platforms. They're BCBG and were a Valentine's Day gift from my boyfriend. I'm a total tightwad and would never have purchased them for myself. I don't want to spend much money, but I want my closet to look nice.How do you pull that off? I love the Snooty Fox, H&M, and The Mustard Seed. I found a Badgley Mischka ball gown—in my size—at The Snooty Fox for $19.99. Do you often luck out with sizes? I've bought shoes that are a half size or size too small before. I stretch them by filling Ziploc bags with water, stuffing them in the shoes and putting them in the freezer. The water expands and stretches the shoe. That's genius. Sometimes you just have to have a pair of shoes. Full disclosure, my sister tried it once and the bag leaked—but that's never happened to me.Does LPK encourage employees to dress creatively? I'm lucky to be at LPK because we're meant to be creative. That's why clients come to us. I follow quite a few LPKers on Pinterest. We have a trend forecasting department and they're always ahead of the curve.Recent pins? I created a cocktail pin board with recipes for a pink grapefruit margarita and lychee martini.

Who needs to go to the gym to keep fit? Not the After Hours Athlete! There's far more fun things to be getting on with than working up a sweat on a treadmill – like seeing your mates, having a drink or just chilling.
So, with that in mind, here's some 'exercises' that won't exert much more than your drinking arm! We know you guys always like an element of competition, so these 'exercises' can be easily adapted for you to take on your mates.
Speed round - You've guessed it – time how long it takes for you to get a round of drinks in. Not only will a speedy round make you popular, but a short sprint will help keep the love handles at bay.
Shake it - Get a stranger to judge you and your mates dancing. This is a fantastic ploy to steal the show, have some fun and get the old heart racing.
Drinks relay - Split yourselves into teams and race round the bar. Everyone loves this competition (except the bar man).
Arm wrestle - If there's any doubt on who the winner is, a good old fashioned arm wrestle is the best way to build up the guns, settle a contest and get a crowd gathered.
And if you really want to maintain your After Hours fitness, make sure there's some salad on your takeaway!

For Tombstone Tuesday, I'll be focusing on George Levan, born October 16, 1791 and died August 18th, 1845. What got me is that he had a total of 17 children. What did he do all day? Don't answer that question. Being a woman, I thought "Wow. I wonder if he died happy."
He married Mary Levan in 1810 and they had 11 children. He got married a second time. He married Christianna and had 6 children.
Ouch. Of course, he didn't feel a thing.

Wow 17 children, I wonder how many survived to be adults in those days?ReplyDelete
Wow being a guy it's so hard for me to not say something offensive here..lol. I can say that it amazes me that people back then had so many children and were able to somehow raise them all. I'm sure many of the kids ended up helping in the raising of the little ones. If I had 17 kids I'd be in a nut hut somewhere...ReplyDelete
LOL Deez, I would as well. I always say I have three too many! Ahh, they know I love them.ReplyDelete
Becky, seems we know what kept George here busy, lol!
