Configuring a default application-wide channel set in Spring BlazeDS
The Spring BlazeDS Integration project provides a very elegant framework for Flex-Java development. However the project documentation (as of 1.0.3) encourages the decoupling of the BlazeDS channel configuration in the client from the channel config in the server. While in many cases this is the right thing to do, in other cases developers may prefer to define the configuration in one place (in

.11:23pm.. Angels and Airwaves.
I had the opportunity to photograph Angels and Airwaves tonight for Chart Magazine. Im really not sure how I feel about Angels and Airwaves. Tom Delonge is a really amazing songwriter but hes not the worlds greatest singer and whenever I see them live I can hear an effect he puts on his vocals to help correct his pitch and its a little wierd. Nevertheless they are still a great band to watch other than that.

George Brett's greatest story
Before I turned my pre-adolescent brain to rock n roll statistics, I had a few years of total immersion in baseball. From the age of 10 to 15 I was a whore for all things MLB-related. Spring would come and with the thaw came baseball. The only thing more exciting than opening day was the first day that the new season of baseball cards would hit the shelves. My neighbor JP, my brother Ben and I would bike over to Piggly Wiggly and drop twenty to thirty bucks (each) on whatever brand came in first (it was usually Topps) and spend the whole morning opening packs (chewing mega-wads of gum if indeed it was Topps that came in, as that was the only brand that actually came with gum; Fleer came with stickers and Donruss came with puzzle pieces). We'd marvel at each card, getting to know that year's design, holding up our heroes, acquainting ourselves with new faces and names, trying to assess which rookies looked the most like future stars, adrenaline PUMPING the whole time. The only greater sensation was the less frequent release of new Star Wars or G.I. Joe action figures. After that initial buzz wore off, we'd spend the rest of the year memorizing stats, aping the commentators, doing our best to sound like we knew what we were talking about, like we had a voice worth hearing.
Baseball's best players were nothing short of rock stars. Those who were heroic on the field were held up like titans, and they were rewarded in the eyes of fans for being consistent. It was one thing to have a great season, but to stack up a series of great seasons was how you became a legend. When I first started to pay attention to baseball it was 1985. The stars were Dwight Gooden (though in his rookie year, he was my fave), Steve Garvey, Rod Carew, Tom Seaver, Dale Murphy, Kirk Gibson, Eddie Murray, Rickey Henderson, Nolan Ryan, and George Brett. Of all those players, Brett most closely resembled a movie star. He was baseball's Spartacus. A batting champ who could hit homers and field the ball, he led his team to a World Series victory that year. And we was willing to raise a stink or — even better — get into a brawl on the field.
There are so many incredible George Brett stories, but there's only one greatest George Brett story. And luckily for us (thanks to the wonders of Youtube), we've got it captured straight from the horse's patute. Yes, it's the infamous "George Brett shitting himself story" and it is a must hear. There's much I could say about it, but it's best left to Brett himself. It's his greatest story. You deserve to hear it from him.

The trouble with the question, Is the crime novel literature? is that it implies that something has to rise to the level of art before it can be worthy of our attention. When critics write that a crime novel "transcends the genre," they believe they're paying a great compliment. But it's backhanded, implying that the whole project isn't worth doing in the first place. For them, "whodunits" will forever and always be whodunits and nothing more. That very term—like the equally-dismissive "mysteries"—tells you how out of touch the people who use it are with the reality and variety of crime fiction. The judgment is handed down from a literary establishment which fails to see that the contemporary literary novel has itself become a kind of genre writing. Why else is nearly every new novel that's an accomplished feat of storytelling invariably described as "old-fashioned"? What type of novel can't be described as genre writing? The realist novel? The experimental novel? The nouveau roman? The question of whether literature is high or low is on some level a way for a critic to evade the job of focusing on the particulars of a work, of describing the experience of reading it, and of suggesting how it relates both to other fiction and to its moment.
While it's a mistake to equate popularity with worth, endurance isn't the same thing as popularity, and as a genre the crime novel has endured for more than a century. Edgar Allan Poe usually receives the credit for writing the first detective story with the publication of "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" in 1841. After Poe, there are faked police "memoirs" and intermittent bestsellers until—with Sherlock Holmes' initial appearance in the 1887 Beeton's Christmas Annual—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle gives us the first really memorable fictional detective. Among the many reasons why the mystery has endured is a basic one: its form and movement together are a metaphor for the experience of reading.
A reader is nothing if not a detective. What prompts the reading of fiction is the desire to find out what comes next—an impulse all too easy to trivialize. Something has gone seriously wrong with our understanding of why people read when a good critic like James Wood talks about "the essential juvenility of plot." Asked about that phrase in an interview, Wood said: "I like destroying the tyranny of plot . I don't think I need a plot to sustain my enjoyment. Formally speaking, if you really did believe in plot you'd say, 'I can't reread Anna Karenina, because I know what happens.' But it's obvious that there are deeper, more sustaining beauties underneath. Or if you go to Lear, you know what's going to happen, but the joy is in seeing new facets."
But the foundation for the discovery of those sustaining beauties, those new facets, is the plot. The agonies and glories of Anna Karenina or King Lear can't be divorced from the narrative line, and the pleasure of good storytelling—the sense of recognition it imparts—doesn't end even if we already know how the story does. It's the same with biography and history. In Speak, Memory, Nabokov says that writing a memoir is discovering the plot of your own life. The historian John Demos begins The Unredeemed Captive—his wonderful account of the 1704 Indian kidnapping of the minister John Williams and his family—with the line, "Most of all, I wanted to write a story."

Fertile Hope
Giving cancer patients a resource for reproduction help
Fertile Hope is Born
When Lindsay Nohr was re-diagnosed with cancer at age 24, she had no idea that the treatments could leave her infertile. She had successfully beaten the cancer once before, but this time it had spread to her lymph nodes and would require chemotherapy in addition to surgery and radiation. When she learned that the chemotherapy could adversely affect her fertility, she was almost as devastated as she was by the return of her cancer.
There was little or no information on Nohr's options, but she was relentless in her pursuit of answers. She knew what she wanted. She wanted to freeze her own eggs for future use, which is known as oocyte cryopreservation. The problem was finding someone who could do it on the time frame necessitated by her cancer treatment schedule. Once again, her stubbornness worked to her advantage, and she found a hospital willing to give her the treatments.
In spite of an incredible schedule involving radiation treatments and preservation treatments, Nohr was successful in both having her eggs frozen and beginning her chemotherapy on time. But during her research, Nohr realized that there was a terrible void for men and women in her situation. There was nowhere to turn for information and emotional or financial support.
In response, Nohr, a graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder with a degree in international affairs and economics, founded Fertile Hope, an organization dedicated to providing reproductive information, support, and hope to cancer patients whose medical treatments present the risk of infertility. They do this through programs promoting awareness, education, financial assistance, research, and support.
Meeting the Demand
Nohr sometimes feels overwhelmed by the demands of heading up an organization that has grown by leaps and bounds the last couple of years and is now partnered with the Lance Armstrong Foundation. But she wouldn't have it any other way. "I wouldn't want to do anything else, and at the same time I can't believe I am doing this!" she says. "I hear the success stories of the people who have come to us, people who have beaten both cancer and infertility, and I know I am doing what I am supposed to be doing."
For Nohr, Fertile Hope is both her passion and her career. For the people who are going through cancer treatments with the possibility of infertility, Fertile Hope is what guides them through the often confusing world of fertility options.
"Fertile Hope addresses a need that otherwise slipped through the cracks," says Nohr. "There are several organizations addressing cancer and several addressing infertility, but where the two overlap there was nothing, and everyday patients were left unaware, uneducated, and unknowingly infertile."
Fertile Hope is the type of organization Nohr wished she had had when trying to navigate simultaneously through both fertility and cancer treatments.
Sobering Stories
Joyce Dillon-Reinecke also wishes she had been able to find an organization like Fertile Hope when she was diagnosed with cancer. As almost an afterthought, a staff oncologist mentioned to Dillon-Reinecke the chemotherapy would probably leave her infertile. Until that point the possibility had not been conveyed to her in any way.
"I was shocked that my oncologist knew so little about what impact particular chemotherapy agents would have on my fertility," says Dillon-Reinecke. "When we were first discussing a course of treatment, I tried to find out which agents could possibly be avoided or which ones might be less toxic to my reproductive system, but I wasn't able to get clear answers."
While waiting for her cancer treatments to begin, Dillon-Reinecke went to the Cornell Institute for Reproductive Medicine for in vitro fertilization treatments. Dillon-Reinecke and her husband had 17 embryos put away for future use. Once they had finished making the necessary cancer treatment decisions, they were ready to make decisions regarding starting their family.
Worried that reoccurrence would push their timeline out too far, Dillon-Reinecke and her husband chose to have their embryos carried by a surrogate mother. Now blessed with twin girls, Dillon-Reinecke, is the program director for Fertile Hope. "Fertile Hope wasn't in existence when I was diagnosed," says Dillon-Reinecke. "Meeting Lindsay and seeing how she turned her experience with cancer and infertility into a positive life mission inspired me to do the same."
Dillon-Reinecke began by volunteering at Fertile Hope and soon became an employee. "I think it is important to use my own experience to help other patients who are in the same position by empowering them with information about their risks and options," she says.

Startling new figures reveal that criminals on probation are committing one murder and one rape every week.
In the past two years offenders on licence have been convicted of 105 rapes, 94 murders, 18 attempted murders and 39 manslaughters – all while they are being supervised by the probation service.
A report from the Ministry of Justice also reveals that there were 78 kidnappings and 43 convictions for arson with intent to endanger life, along with 657 other violent or sexual offences which were serious enough to attract a maximum jail sentence of 10 years or longer.
The total number of convictions for criminals being monitored by probation staff after release from jail on licence, or while serving a community sentence, in the two years from March 2007 to March 2009 was 1,394, or almost two per day, and 1,034 of these were classified as serious offences.
Shadow Justice Secretary, Dominic Grieve said last night:
"The public will be shocked to learn that dangerous criminals under diluted probation supervision are convicted of one murder a week.
"Gordon Brown has released serious offenders early and relaxed the monitoring of those on probation.
"After the Sonnex case this is further evidence that the Government's lax approach to criminal justice is putting the public at risk."

EXPANDING HORIZONS MEDIA - Home
In Memory
Cary Neal McMinn, Registered Architect, Master of Business Administration-Finance, small business owner, beloved husband and father, and friend of God, was the Executive Producer of Expanding Horizons Media.
Sadly, Cary died in his sleep of a heart attack on June 2, 2013. Our family's hearts are broken, yet we have hope in our Savior Jesus Christ and know beyond all doubt that Cary is with Him in the paradise we call Heaven.
Cary, and daughter Hayley, founded EXPANDING HORIZONS MEDIA in the spring of 2013. Immediately they began the film project "Beneath the Tree of Imagination". The script was written by Hayley, and she also directed this short feature film. Two of our children starred with her in the production, and all of us helped with the various parts of film making.
An avid movie-goer, who longed to see more family oriented, God-honoring films written and produced, Cary was so pleased that we were able to begin this film making work together as a family. The film was in post-production when he died.
EHM will continue on as a wholly owned subsidiary of our family owned and operated BLESSED CREEK FARM.

Should You Buy Annaly Capital Management?
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
A 12.8% dividend yield! That's the most obvious appeal at Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY), a real estate investment trust that manages investment securities (most notably mortgage-backed securities). With three quarters of the year in the books, the company has paid $1.60 per share in dividends in comparison to the current stock price of just under $16. Its dividend payments have declined in the past few years (quarterly payments crossed above 60 cents per share in 2009 and dropped below that figure last December) so it is possible that the company will cut its payments further. Annaly has also been downgraded recently by a number of analysts (read our coverage of the downgrades and discussion of Annaly as a QE3 play).
In the second quarter, net interest income at Annaly Capital Management was down 15% from the same period in the second quarter of 2011; the first quarter had been about flat from a year earlier on that figure. Annaly also trades at the book value of its equity. The stock had been up about 8% for the year in mid-September, but has dropped 7% in the last month (likely due in part to the analyst downgrades). It therefore has underperformed the market for the year. In the company's defense, it is very disconnected from the broader indices -- its beta is 0.1 -- and its dividend yield provides investors with substantial cash gains. The Board of Directors has also recently approved a large-scale repurchasing program of up to $1.5 billion over the next year.
The largest holder of Annaly Capital Management at the end of June in our database of 13F filings was Legg Mason Capital Management. Legg Mason, managed by Bill Miller, had actually cut its stake in the company over the second quarter but still owned 5.3 million shares (research more investment activity at Legg Mason Capital Management). Michael Lowenstein's Kensico Capital kept its position unchanged between April and June at about 4 million shares. Find more stocks Kensico Capital owned at the end of June.
We would compare Annaly to other high-yielding real estate investment trusts such as Capstead Mortgage Corporation (NYSE: CMO), Redwood Trust (NYSE: RWT), Chimera Investment Corporation (NYSE: CIM), and Two Harbors Investment Corp (NYSE: TWO). All four of these companies have considerably smaller market caps, with Two Harbors being the largest at $3.3 billion; Capstead and Redwood actually have market caps smaller than Annaly's new repurchasing program. As REITs, and therefore required to distribute cash to shareholders, they all pay high dividend yields. Redwood is the only one to pay a yield below 10%, and Chimera's yield is actually larger than Annaly's at nearly 14%, while Capstead and Two Harbors pay their stockholders 11.8% and 12.6% respectively. Given the fluctuation of dividend payments at Annaly that we've noted above, and the decline that the company has seen over the past couple years, we don't think that it has a particular advantage over any of its peers but Redwood on an income basis.
In terms of valuation, both Redwood and Two Harbors trade at a P/B ratio of 1.2. This represents a premium, in terms of book value, to the considerably larger Annaly. With higher betas as well (representing more exposure, in statistical terms, to the economy), we don't think that they make as good buys. Capstead and Chimera also carry higher betas, though less than 1 in both cases. They both trade at small discounts to book value, with Capstead's P/B ratio being 0.9 and Chimera's being 0.8. These are lower than Annaly's, and we've already noted that they are comparable from a dividend perspective.
If an investor doesn't mind looking at a smaller, statistically riskier REIT, Capstead and Chimera seem like they could be good values relative to Annaly. However, an income investor could certainly like the greater security that a larger market cap and lower beta provide and stick with the dividend and buybacks that come with being a shareholder in the company.

This is amazing. Now you can't even LOOK like you're praying in school anymore.
Is it just me, or does a suspension for something these kids could never have anticipated seem more than a little like overkill? Read this again:
"The administration told us that our Tebowing was blocking the halls and could potentially cause a riot, because they were growing in number and if the wrong kid gets pushed a brawl could ensue."
So the rationale is that a riot MIGHT have happened, or that there could have been a fight if the WRONG kid got pushed. I don't think we should let these administrators drive cars because, using their logic, they MIGHT cause an accident the next time they're behind the wheel, or there could be a road rage incident if they change lanes in front of the WRONG driver.

If you have a Mac set up in a secure location as a media center or with limited access by anyone but authorized users, then you may find the OS X log-in password requirement to be a burden.
While log-in items in OS X can be hidden, some may not do so and end up displaying onscreen when you log in to your system. Here is an approach to address this problem.
While the log-in items list in OS X is mainly used to open applications, it can be used to do several other common tasks as well.
OS X supports a number of different ways to automatically launch applications and services, some of which are a little more obscure than others and may result in applications launching, even though they are not in obvious start-up items locations.
From will templates to postmortem e-mails, free and low-cost Web services help you put your affairs in order, send messages from the afterlife (sort of), and ensure your online accounts are properly laid to rest.
Periodically, readers will need to access files off old computers that they have kept stashed away for years (I still have my PowerBook 150, and will probably never get rid of it). If you are one of these people and have protected your old Mac with OS 9's
One problem that may occur when logging in to OS X is an error warning that mentions insecure startup items.
A few users who have installed Snow Leopard on their systems have run into a problem where upon logging in the system claims the "Startup Items" folder is insecure and items from this folder will not be used.
If the log-in session in OS X ever unexpectedly quits, all of your currently open applications will be quit too. Here are some approaches to addressing this issue if it happens.
Sometimes problems with the handling of log files in OS X can result in log files taking up large amounts of disk space. Here are some ways to tackle these problems.

Albany -- Albany Police are looking a man wanted for robbing a convenience store Sunday afternoon, and leaving his female accomplice behind.
23 year old Vanessa Schwark is in the Dougherty County jail, charged with robbery. Investigators say Schwark went into the Oasis Convenience store on North Slappey a couple of times Sunday to case it out, then returned with 29 year old Gene Jenkins about 4:45.
Albany Police Lt. Tracey Barnes said "They gave the impression they were going to buy something. When the drawer was open, the gentleman pushed the clerk back, and snatched money. Then took off."
And when he took off, he left the woman behind. Schwark was still at the store when Police arrived, and was arrested.
An arrest warrant has been issued for Jenkins. He is believed to be driving a tan 1998 Buick Century.

ReadingsThe Writers' Alliance of Newfoundland and Labrador hosts, and collaborates with other organizations to facilitate a variety of readings series throughout the province.
2013 Spring Tides Reading Series - Call for Expressions of InterestSpring Tides is an annual reading series held between March and June (inclusively), that showcases new and established writers. The series presents four to five readings - two in St. John's and two to three readings elsewhere in the province - featuring two writers each. Each featured writer reads for approximately 20 minutes and participates in a brief Q & A following the reading. WANL provides an honorarium of $125 to each reader.
WANL seeks expressions of interest (EOI) from writers who would like to participate in this series during 2013. Preference will be given to writers who have a recently published book. (Please note: Submitting an expression of interest does not guarantee you a reading spot in this series.)
Submissions guidelinesExpressions of interest must include:
Submissions that do not contain ALL of the requested information will be deemed ineligible.
EOIs should be submitted to the attention of the Readings Committee at:
223 Duckworth Street, Suite 202
St. John's, NL, A1C 6N1
Email: email@example.com
Submissions deadline: Postmarked no later than Friday, January 25, 2013.
Spring Tides Reading Series Call For Local Volunteer OrganizersThe WANL Readings Committee is also interested in hearing from WANL members who would like to act as local organizers for a Spring Tides Reading in their community. Expressing interest in this regard does not guarantee that a reading will be held in your community, but it will help the committee to get a sense of where there might be support for an event. Interested volunteer organizers should contact email@example.com by Friday, January 25, 2013.
Come From Away Reading SeriesThe Writers' Alliance Come From Away Reading Series concluded this November after a fantastic season. As always, the WANL Readings Committee asked three Newfoundland authors to invite three "Come-From-Away" authors to read on the Rock. The 2012 series heard readings in both Corner Brook and St. John's, of some of Canada's best literary talents: Karen Solie was invited by Mark Callanan; Dionne Brand was invtied by Stephanie MacKenzie; Alistair MacLeod was invited by Tom Dawe.
Stay tuned for the 2013 series!
For a complete, up-to-date list of book signings, readings and launches across the province please see the latest WANL Weekly, accessible via the twitter feed (that funny-looking
black box) on our homepage.
If you are a current WANL member who is giving a reading, launching a book, or holding a book signing in the province please let us know and we'll post it in the WANL Weekly.
The WANL Weekly is distributed every Wednesday, please be sure to send your announcement by end of day Tuesday at the latest.

This is the first actual flash animation I've ever done, so be nice :). Any tips or suggestions on how to improve my animation are very, very welcome.
This was actually an anniversary gift to my girlfriend. It's my artistic interpretation of how our relationship began about a year ago. I originally had much more planned for it but due to time constraints I had to cut it short.
Thanks for watching!

it was great but i really wish it was longer :D

First words out of my mouth:
"Whoa, this is really good!"
I also said "Aww" when the girl took out and offered her heart. She was cute, especially her eyes. I loved how you filled out the color of the characters to symbolize fulfillment; even though it's something I've seen done before, it fit very appropriately and felt fresh. I don't know much about animating, but my tip is to avoid the "shaky lines" that the characters had. When standing still like that, it was kinda off-putting to see the characters' lines morphing continuously. It can be done well in certain circumstances, but I think it didn't quite fit with the simplistic style. Hope that helps. Nice job!
Thank you! I really like the sketchy, uncertain feeling that the "shaky lines" give. Do you think it works in this animation when you consider that after they are filled with color, the lines stop shaking? Or was it just too much?
Rated 4 / 5 stars October 30, 2011
First Flash
This is a solid first flash. A lot of people use the disclaimer of 'this is my first flash' as an excuse to post crap, but it really helps justify the simplicity of your piece. There's genuine emotion behind it and it's illustrated very tactfully in an entirely cinematic manner. I really appreciate you putting this up and think this should serve as an example for others considering posting their first flash projects.
I totally know what you mean about the "this is my first flash" excuse. I wrote that without even thinking, so now I feel a little ashamed... Haha >.<. I was nervous about putting this up, so thank you for your kind words.
Rated 4 / 5 stars October 30, 2011
Not the most deeply metaphorical short
But something worth watching atleast. You seem to be very good with frame by frame, as well as potential with flash, it's hard to believe this is your first time making anything. Its a shame about the time constraints, but now I think you should work on making a real story with your on par animation strengths.
I've done a few tests/practice animations but never anything like this. Thank you for your comments and compliments! It means a lot to me :)

my takeaway from this article is that our "elite" journos are often just as ignorant and greedy as the rest of us humps -- not to mention that i feel a bit smug seeing how shitty the media's coverage of the whole real estate/subprime mess was.

i don't know crap about this guy, nor do i care, BUT
when i was 22 i dated this very cute but not-very-smart guy. it was long distance, so we wrote a lot of letters (this was in the lol 90s). in one letter he told me that being with me made him feel "quidity". i smugly laughed a little because i figured that he meant "tranquility" and wow was this guy adorable for not being able to use a dictionary. then i looked up the word "quidity" and realized that it was real (although not what he meant, i am 100% sure)
this thread is the first time i have ever actually seen anyone use this word. the end.

― s1ocki, Friday, 15 May 2009 16:29 (5 years ago) Permalink
It is in a 'there-but-for' sense for sure. Not that I was ever going to try and be an economics reporter for the NY Times, but as time has passed I'm beginning to think the soundest piece of advice I've ever received in regard to writing was something J. D. Considine told me years ago -- 1993 or so -- in response to a random e-mail or two I sent him. He pretty much said, "Freelancing and journalism is very hard work and you should only pursue it on a full-time basis if you are willing to stick to that level." I'm honestly glad I heeded that and I think what you see in both pieces, regardless of whatever else feeds into their respective situations, reflects that.
At the same time, I'm trying to put my finger on what still jars about McArdle's response and it seems to be this sense of keeping up with the Joneses as paramount driving factor/potential excuse. At what point is leisure travelling to Europe, for instance, a 'minimum necessity' -- and I speak as one who's been there a number of times now. Still, I realize it's a sliding scale, says the person who has participated in a CSA thing with a local farmer for some years now.

Ned, I read her response as being more about the foolhardiness of ever thinking ANY of those things are necessities. She seems to be (gently) chiding that whole tendency?
― But not someone who should be dead anyway (Laurel), Friday, 15 May 2009 16:50 (5 years ago) Permalink
Yah... she's just sayin' that you hang with people for whom this is true, you wake up with fleas
― butt-rock miyagi (rogermexico.), Friday, 15 May 2009 17:17 (5 years ago) Permalink
I think maybe something to add to McArdle's response is that we have this general cultural tendency to view attention as somehow related to money, a connection that really falls apart when it comes to writers of all sorts -- it's very easy to withhold sympathy from people writing about their woes in public, as if they're coming from a position of privilege or just courting attention, but in plenty of cases they don't have much concrete privilege and writing about their experiences is just, you know, work.
he never really was that rich, especially by the standards of the new york times - but he sure lives and writes like he is. which is of course where the trouble started. getting a monthly keelhaul from the ex didn't help, either - i wonder if he writes about that in his book? - but i think this man's most basic problem was imagining that a take-home of $2500 monthly was enough to buy a half-mil pile.
Yeah, exactly -- although if I had to summarize a problem here it would basically be that a middle-aged family-man homeowner with a decent salary expected to continue living like a middle-aged family-man homeowner with a decent salary, even after a divorce that meant the bulk of his income was going to support a family home occupied by other people. This is an unrealistic and dumb expectation to seriously act on -- you'd think that $4k would be a good monthly reminder that situations done changed -- but I can totally have sympathy for the situation itself; that would suck. It would be painful to have to support the family home you used to live in and have to support yourself and your new family on a fraction of what you're earning.
― nabisco, Friday, 15 May 2009 17:47 (5 years ago) Permalink
The other thing is that -- while he can't and doesn't come out and say this directly -- his one list of charges makes me suspect a bunch of money was getting borrowed to maintain a certain lifestyle for the kids
― nabisco, Friday, 15 May 2009 18:00 (5 years ago) Permalink
I thought he said that very directly just by listing all those expenses! (I note though that he does seem to say even more directly that his wife did that too.)
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 15 May 2009 18:02 (5 years ago) Permalink
Haha yeah, I guess the unsayable "direct" thing I had in mind was like "these KIDS were bankrupting us (that's right, Alex, I'm talking about you)"
I was going to jump past boggling at the beach house rental and wonder about the $700 at J. Crew, but I guess if you needed, like, one good suit and some decent sweaters for Christmas presents ... the world really does hold you to your socio-economic status, doesn't it -- even beyond nobody wanting to be the guy who gets divorced and suddenly has to start showing up to work in cheap suits, it'd be tough to be the guy making $100k who's like "I got you a candy bar for Christmas!"
― nabisco, Friday, 15 May 2009 18:22 (5 years ago) Permalink
yeah the erm narrative here is anyways at least partly "but banking professionals who should be my Friends and Advisors assured us it would be alright!"?
However fishy such blanket blame is in general, I'm not sure it's entirely misplaced re how things rolled out this cycle. At one point around 2006, I momentarily had a crazy amount of money in my account due to family property reorg stuff, and was by phone promptly invited to an "advisement meeting" with a dude at my bank, who tried to convince me he had the correct %ages I should place my assets in (all mediated by said bank, obv). (I still was in net debt though!) I was all very cynical and noncommittal, which is not due to my deep insight or anything, just because my current boss worked in a bank in the early 00s and has spilled much shit on how those outfits operate(d?). (My fave morsel: the guys who construct the deals don't actually inform the salespeople abt all potential downsides and builtin fees, as this may hurt their sales!)
I don't think this guy deserves much point-and-laugh, btw, though it is obv somewhat funny he writes on economics.
― anatol_merklich, Friday, 15 May 2009 18:55 (5 years ago) Permalink
I don't know that that's a big surface narrative, given the "I wasn't duped" and the bit about how a banking professional's refinancing maneuvers actually worked to carve down some debt
― nabisco, Friday, 15 May 2009 19:00 (5 years ago) Permalink
it's about even someone who should have known better made some really dumb mistakes, which is always a story worth telling imo
― s1ocki, Friday, 15 May 2009 19:11 (5 years ago) Permalink
A weird thing about "quiddity" is that the first definition, "essence", seems to be the opposite of the second definition, "a trifling point". So it can either refer to the essence of something or a minor, trifling detail? Confusing. I have a feeling that it's a word that's rarely used correctly.
― o. nate, Friday, 15 May 2009 19:13 (5 years ago) Permalink
my point is that there are hundreds of thousands of people with stories just like this who don't write for the new york times and have six-figure salaries who are perhaps just a leeetle more representative of the mortgage fallout going on right now - my pointing and laughing is at the editors, not this poor schmuck
― Tracer Hand, Friday, 15 May 2009 19:17 (5 years ago) Permalink
well, they wanted a personal, first-perosn story, so going with a new york times writer... kinda makes sense, no?

That's a fair point, Tracer, but the fact that the Times can be willfully class-blind is hardly news to anyone who's ever read the Style section, for instance.

It's funny that this guy gets himself into such deep shit but when the financial crisis comes it's actually a relief to him. For one thing, he can console himself with the spectacle of so many other supposed financial experts who screwed up at least as badly as he did. And more significantly, the banks are too swamped with delinquent borrowers to follow up on his case - so he has basically been living in the house rent-free for the past 8 months.

ya it's pretty crazy that that's how the story ends, i was expecting some sort of bankruptcy followed by a pledge of renewal or something remotely redemptive like that but it shocked me that it ended with him in this bizarre institutional limbo.

that there are hundreds of thousands of people with stories just like this who don't write for the new york times and have six-figure salaries who are perhaps just a leeetle more representative of the mortgage fallout going on right now
This is definitely true, but there is part of me that thinks ... well, even leaving aside the Times's readership -- or the fact that one of the notable things about the current situation is that its impacts are being felt higher up the economic ladder -- there's also the way it's all called into question the sustainability of a whole mainstream/normal middle-class existence that is built on suddenly shaky things like debt and home values. That is probably worth thinking about, and possibly edifying for middle-class people who are recognizing a shakiness to their economic lives that they hadn't previously had as big of a worry about.

Is 66% of your income anywhere near normal for alimony/child-support? I don't know anyone paying alimony (lol broek friends), but child support doesn't net them (everyone I know is on the receiving end) much.

A fair enough point. The mania obv went beyond the professionals.
Talking of which: I don't know how recruiting works in this kind of business -- my biased, stereotypical prejudice says that you get the young people who are willing to work like 50 hrs weekly unpaid overtime etc from ambition alone, thus having no memory of even the Asia crisis, let alone the dotcom and the 80s yuppie downfall, thus by induction extrapolating bubble arising into Law of Nature or something. I dunno.

A weird thing about "quiddity" is that the first definition, "essence", seems to be the opposite of the second definition, "a trifling point"
Haha good spot there, maybe this is a general defusing thing about words asserting importance -- see also moot (adjective):
1 a: open to question : DEBATABLE b: subjected to discussion : DISPUTED2: deprived of practical significance : made abstract or purely academic
― anatol_merklich, Friday, 15 May 2009 20:06 (5 years ago) Permalink
i suspect the second "quiddity" meaning might be contaminated with a sense of "quibbling" via misuse?
or else the identifying an object's "what-ness" is, in itself, a trifling pursuit?

Herring looks mighty red to me. Sorry.
Yup, we know what stuff which is what it is is (OR DO WE?).
There is a neverending demand for words meaning "thing I can't get worked up about", and obv the learnèd world (it's academic! it's just semantic!) is a fair source for this. (I like the pluralization "quiddities" btw!)

Sarah Ludford joined Andrew's sister Sophie and Jago Russell and Wafa Shah of Fair Trials International to protest Andrew's unjust incarceration outside the Greek embassy in Holland Park.
Reacting to the news that two Londoners have won a judgement at the European Court of Human Rights declaring anti-terrorism stop and search powers illegal Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights spokeswoman and London MEP Sarah Ludford said:
"Yet again it is the European convention on human rights that is protecting Britons from the Labour government's authoritarian laws. This key judgement shows just how damaging Tory plans to refuse to obey Strasbourg court decisions would be."
"It is both a relief and a scandal that we need to rely on European institutions to safeguard the fundamental rights that Labour has so undermined. Liberal Democrats will make civil liberties a key issue in the forthcoming election campaign."
I am now going to give you the chance to specifically talk about Bosnia. Last year a US academic charged that the EU lacked a viable policy towards Bosnia. And indeed you omitted any mention of Bosnia in your list of policy priorities in your written answers. Meanwhile Bosnia and Herzegovina is a dysfunctional state sliding towards disintegration. It was judged unfit to get visa liberalisation on December 19th while Serbian citizens among others did.
The European Parliament has joined the effort to raise awareness of the stream of aggressive state-sponsored homophobia that is sweeping across much of Africa and Daniel Howden's article ("The love that still dare not speak its name" Independent 11th January) gave valuable coverage to this huge and frightening human rights threat. Just before Christmas MEPs called on the Ugandan government not to approve the anti-homosexuality bill put forward by that country's parliament.
The Liberal Democrats have announced they will fight the General Election on four key issues designed to make Britain a much fairer place. The four priorities are fair taxes; better education clean reformed politics and green jobs.
Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights spokeswoman and London MEP Sarah Ludford said:
"People in London have been let down by their politicians and are rightly frustrated. We are going into the election with determination and a manifesto that is short direct and based on achieving fairness in our society and our economy."
Commenting on statements by EU foreign policy chief Cathy Ashton and development Commissioner Karel de Gucht to the European Parliament about assistance to Haiti after the recent earthquake London Liberal Democrat MEP Sarah Ludford said:
"The European Union's response to the Haiti relief effort has been generous in humanitarian aid but woefully uncoordinated in disaster relief. Proposals over many years for planning and management of crises but have fallen on stony ground and now we see the result."
"French cooperation minister Alain Joyandet has unhelpfully whinged about the US role. This is a bit rich when it is Europe's 27 governments including France who blocked a 'Europe-Aid' proposal. Thank goodness the Americans have taken charge in Haiti somebody had to."
Sarah and one of the students at the prize givine ceremony
Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights spokeswoman and London MEP Sarah Ludford has said in a European Parliament debate on rights in criminal proceedings:
"Ensuring rights in criminal proceedings is not just a matter of procedure: they make the difference between a fair trial and a miscarriage of justice. Action on defence rights is a decade overdue ever since the European Arrest Warrant was instituted."
"A case in point is the treatment of my constituent Andrew Symeou who has been in prison in Greece for six months awaiting trial on a manslaughter charge which seems to be based on mistaken identity and police brutality to witnesses."
Commenting on yesterday's Court of Appeal ruling that David and Linda Orams have to surrender their land in northern Cyprus to its original Greek Cypriot owner Liberal Democrat European justice & human rights spokeswoman and London MEP Sarah Ludford said:
"The Cyprus property issue should not be settled in British courts in this way. A political solution re-uniting the island has to be found between the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities."

Supreme Commander is even more favorable to the GeForce 8800GT which manages to be, in this case, only slightly less powerful than the 8800GTX: between 11 and 14% only, except in 1600 x 1200 where the gap is only about 3%, which is the difference in raw power between those two cards! The HD 2900 XT as well as the 8800GTS 320 MB are totally outperformed, and the 8800GT is no less than 143% more efficient than the previous most powerful mid-range card in 1600 x 1200, the 8600 GTS.

Poll: What's Your Favorite NYC Specialty Food Store?
We're like magpies this week, gathering ingredients and treats from all our favorite specialty food stores in anticipation of company this weekend. After all, the only thing better than making a great new food discovery is sharing it with loved ones. A little schlepping is worth some delicious meals.
As we flitted from store to store, adding to our shopping bags, we wondered if there are even more great foodie shops that we're missing out on. What are your favorite NYC specialty food stores - the places where you never fail to walk out with something intriguing and lovely?
After the jump, some of ours.
This week, we've picked up some baked and fresh ricotta at Blue Apron Foods in Park Slope, heritage pork and fresh bread at Fort Greene's new Greene Grape Provisions market, and we did a big shopping trip at the Park Slope Food Coop. We're also hoping to get to Despaña later this week for some interesting charcuterie and tidbits to add to our Easter brunch buffet.
Other places on our must-shop list:
• Kaluystan's
• Murray's Cheese
• Sahadi's
• Stinky Bklyn
• Brooklyn or Queens Chinatown
• The array of shops at Chelsea Market
• The meat markets and produce shops in Greenpoint
Where are you shopping in NYC?

I particularly like Blue Apron - though it's a small store, they have a truly dizzying array of products. Their staff are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and will give you tastes of any counter item you are interested in.
Slightly more off the beaten path, I also like M I International Foods in Brighton Beach. A huge emporium of delights.
that should be M (and) I International Foods - for some reason the plus sign isn't showing up. whoops.
Have been really enjoying the Essex Market lately. The two cheese shops there are great.
Di Paulos in Nolita - fantastic, fantastic selection.
Patel Brothers (Jackson Heights) :)
Despania is so frikkin' awesome, I visited the store on my last trip to NYC and smuggled back a packfull of chorizo to Montreal. :p
The "roasted egg yolk cake", a very dense marzipan-like delicacy, is to die for (expensive at $23, but there are samples galore) and the hot chocolate with churros is delicious.
Bierkraft - lots of good beer and good cheese too (as well as all sorts of other treats).
Of that list, Sahadi's. I work in a cheese shop, so most don't entice me, but Sahadi's affordable bulk EVERYTHING, plus their delicious prepared foods and various odd-to-me middle eastern snacks (halvah floss???) always has me dropping at least a $20 on a big bag of goodies. I never leave without pickled eggplant, olives, bulgarian feta (cheapest and best in the city), fresh babaganoush, espresso malt balls, and some sort of new and wonderful sweet.
The Greenpoint link isn't working...I'd like to see that list!
I'll second M and I International--they have these amazing tiny chocolates that have really beautiful illustrated packaging. Been meaning to pick some up for the weekend.
Blue Apron in Brooklyn is also great.
Also, as an alternative to Sahadi's for great middle eastern fare, DiVine Taste on 7th Ave in the slope has fantastic offerings and a really lovely staff.
East Village Cheeses!! SO cheap and so good.
Those Indian stores on Lex and 27th-ish. Not Kalustyans, though.
