The Burger Lab: Cheese Sauce for Burgers, Fries, and Chips
It turned out smooth for me, with no cheese separation at all, which was great. However, it still had the same issue as a similar recipe on the Youtube channel for Argo brand cornstarch - it's more like a cheese "gravy", sort of like a runny wallpaper paste. Also, the cheese flavor isn't concentrated like it is in the store bought cheese dips/sauces. The hot sauce helps a bit, but it still tastes like milk with hot sauce with a bit of a cheese flavor, rather than a rich cheese sauce. I wonder if some added mustard powder and garlic powder may help?

The balloons were out at Top Farm when Harold celebrated his 85th birthday at the beginning of January. He is still helping on the farm and when asked how he was, he replied in his forthright way 'I'm feeling great – when I'm sitting down!!' Belated Happy Birthday Harold.
Ken's Bluefaced Leicester sheep were scanned the other day to ascertain how many lambs each was carrying. One ewe was carrying at least 4 – can she really deliver so many? The man who comes to do this job for the farmers is Gus Dermody of 'One Man and His Dog' TV fame, where he does the commentary. His van with its vital equipment, says on its side 'Don't guess, get Gus'…!!!

He is the youngest ever junior to gain the Black Belt and he started the sport at the tender age of 7. Congratulations to him. His grandparents, and Mum and Dad, Sally and Martin are so rightly proud.
Welcome to Rhodri who has come to live next to Rosemary and Sam in the Old End of Yew Tree House. He has taken the job of River Keeper on the stretch of the River Wye between Ashford and Buxton. We are sure he will love the Peak District.
The village and Kirk Dale were gritted in the late afternoon of Saturday 11th January, presumably because frost was forecast for that night. We know that ice or snow make our exit from and entry to the village down to the A6 rather hellish. So we give credit here where it is due, to the powers that be for taking this preventive measure. If they could only see the state of the beautiful new wall down Kirk Dale that was rebuilt a few weeks before Christmas. It is now down in 4 places (at least 4 accidents) and looks a sad and tragic mess. Cars have slid off the bend on the descent and collided with it, causing untold damage to the occupants and the vehicles and a cyclist also had some nasty injuries – all because this 'rat run' for commuters and our high altitude village have fallen off the list of the Council's gritting routes. If we had spent weeks in appalling wet and cold weather creating this wonderful wall, only for it to be brutally assaulted by heavy metal we would be feeling so frustrated and deeply unhappy, wouldn't you?
Remember there are no community recycling bins in the pub car park now.

|Summary Statement of Significance
Glenrowan Heritage Precinct was the site of the Glenrowan siege in 1880 by the
Kelly Gang. The Kelly Gang, led by
Ned Kelly, in holding Glenrowan under siege, clearly established Ned Kelly and
the Kelly Gang as cultural symbols and fostered the notion of bushranging as an
attempt to come to terms with established authority. The Glenrowan siege site has social and cultural
significance to members of the wider Australian community for its defining role
in the creation of the Ned Kelly 'myth', which has become an important part of
our national story. Ned Kelly, in
his armour, has become an iconic Australian image, featuring in paintings by
Sidney Nolan and at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
|Official Values
The Glenrowan
Heritage Precinct is an area of several hectares in the township of Glenrowan. The area is bordered by the Church Street, Beaconsfield
Parade, Gladstone Street
and partly by Burns Street. The precinct retains the original railway
siding and a number of archaeological sites and buildings, which relate to the
events of 1880. The naming of the street
layout reflects the presence of the Kelly Gang and the events of 1880.
The following fabric and sites within the boundaries relate to the events of 1880:
This background covers the Kelly Story over a
twenty-year period to 1880 and places associated with the events leading to the
execution of Ned Kelly, including the Glenrowan
Heritage Precinct.
John McQuilton's book, The Kelly Outbreak 1878-1880, published in 1987, forms the basis of the background unless otherwise stated. As the acknowledged source on the Kelly story, McQuilton's book has been used to establish an historical and social framework for the assessment of places associated with Ned Kelly and the Kelly Gang. The book concentrates on the events surrounding the heavy-handed approach of the police and the hardship suffered by the rural community, as the context for the actions of Ned Kelly and the Kelly Gang. The abstracted material in the background reflects to some extent therefore, the social views and interpretation of McQuilton and should not be interpreted as providing support for the actions of the Kelly Gang at Glenrowan.
According to McQuilton (1987), 'The Kelly Outbreak and the Kelly gang match Hobsbawm's portrait of 'social banditry'. The social bandit according to Hobsbawm (1963) is by definition a more significant figure that the rural criminal and a symptom of profound rural discontent. The bushranger who is a social bandit offers an insight into the nature of the communities who support him. Perhaps the best example of bushrangers who transcend the simplistic rural criminal definition is the Kelly gang who were at large in the North Eastern Victoria from October 1878 to June 1880. The terms 'Kelly Country' and 'North Eastern Victoria' have been seen as synonyms.
Although the 1862 Land Act in Victoria offered poorer people the right to select land, in principle, as in NSW after the 1861 land Act, squatters were able to control settlement patterns through freehold purchase of land (alienating water resources), dummying and peacocking. In frustration, some selectors moved elsewhere in Victoria or into NSW. Others migrated to New Zealand and the United States. First noted in 1864, the movement was still evident when the Lands Commission reached the North East in 1879. In 1879 the Commission found that the land acts, in particular that of 1869, had failed, with selectors as blinkered as legislators when they took up land. Only those who took up 640 acres in general would survive alongside the original squatters. Although acreages increased in the 1870s, small selectors found it difficult to expand due to the constraints imposed by neighbouring small selections, with many taking rural work outside their selections. The majority of the North East's selectors found that selection was not as easy as the politician's believed. British farming techniques applied to poor soils on small acreages were destined to fail.
Stock theft, a major problem in the region, brought the selectors into conflict with the squatters, who formed an alliance with the police force. The strength of the relationship between the squatters and the police was evident in the establishment of new rural police stations. Captain Standish was appointed Chief Commissioner of Police in 1858. However, Superintendent Hare was regarded as the de facto Chief Commissioner in the 1870s. Hare was later placed at the head of the search for the Kelly Gang.
The gang's members were young, single men from the region's rural districts, held together by the prestige of their leader - the members were also for the most-part close family members. The Kelly brothers were part of the Quinn clan, a large Irish-Australian group of families, regarded as the region's major criminal element by the police. In 1881 the Victorian police claimed that the North East region's criminal condition during the 1870s had provided a critical environment for the Kelly Gang to form. Crime was generally common and the North East was the haunt of habitual criminals. However, these claims were made before a Royal Commission was set up to examine the police force and the Kelly Outbreak. As an explanation, the inevitability of the gang's actions did not satisfy the Commission, which found it inadequate. An alternative explanation, believed by many, had circulated in the region as the reason for the events. The Quinn and Kelly families had been victims of unnecessary police harassment that had become persecution, resulting in heavy-handed police attention and the 'murders' at Stringybark Creek in 1878.
During the 'Outbreak', Ned Kelly's quest for personal justice remained dominant. The gang remained at large for 20 months, due to the protection offered by sympathetic selectors, and by June 1880, in rural districts at least, Ned Kelly had become a legend and was seen as a champion of the underdog.
The Kelly Gang
The patriarch of the Quinn clan, James Quinn, arrived in Port Phillip Bay in 1841, from County Antrim, Ireland. By the 1850s he had moved to Wallan [Wallan], where he rented a 640-acre block. After 15 years the family came to the attention of the police, when James Quinn Jnr was arrested but not convicted of stock theft. Between 1860-1865 the police made 19 arrests in the family-only a few charges were upheld. In 1864 the family sold out and moved to Glenmore, at the head of the King River. The police noted that this was near the mountain routes used to transport stolen cattle.
As a child, Ned Kelly grew up in an environment of police conflict. Kelly's father had arrived in Port Phillip Bay in 1848, at the expiry of his sentence in Van Diemen's Land. Kelly married Ellen Quinn the same year, with Ned Kelly born in late 1854. The Kelly family lived at Beveridge near Wallan, John Kelly working as a bush carpenter and horse dealer in between trips to the goldfields. Following the police crackdown in 1860 John Kelly moved his family to Avenel where he rented 40 acres. John Kelly appears to have killed a stray calf in 1866 and was sentenced to 6 months and fined. On release, John Kelly died due to a long term illness, Ned Kelly (12) as the eldest male becoming the nominal head of the household. In the same year Dan Kelly (5) was suspected of stealing a horse. By May 1867, Mrs Kelly had moved with her family back to the Greta district, selecting 88 acres of land. However, the selection remained very much uncultivated as late as 1877. The family lived in the established hut until 1878, when they moved into a new house.
In 1869 bushranger Harry Powers escaped from goal and established his camp on the Quinn's Glenmore run, a fact that brought the Quinn family to police attention again. That same year James Quinn Snr died, his neighbours petitioning to stop the transfer of the lease to John Quinn-the Quinn clan was labeled as 'a den of cattle and horse stealers'.
Due to the move back to Greta Ned Kelly had become part of the Quinn clan, which remained under police scrutiny. By March 1870 Ned Kelly was associated with Power in at least one holdup. On 5 May 1870 Ned Kelly was arrested on this and two other charges including 'remand', the case being heard at Kyneton. According to McQuilton (1979) the charges against Ned Kelly had been engineered by Superintendent Nicolson to bring pressure to bear and to get his evidence against Power. At the hearing, the case was dismissed. Following an incident near the Kelly selection in October 1870, Ned Kelly was charged with violent assault and indecent letters to a female. Ned was convicted of assault and indecent behaviour and sentenced to 3 months hard labour to be served at Beechworth Gaol. One month was served and only 3 weeks after his release Ned was arrested on a charge of stock theft. During the arrest Ned was badly beaten by the police. When the case came to trial in May, the charge of horse stealing had been amended to one of receiving; the horse had been stolen while Ned was in gaol. Despite the circumstances, the horse had never been legally stolen. Both Ned Kelly and Alexander Gunn were sentenced to 3 years hard labour, to be served at Beechworth and Pentridge gaols and on the prison hulks.
In September 1869 the youngest Kelly brothers, Dan (10) and Jim (12), were arrested and jailed-the charge was dismissed. In 1873 Jim Kelly was charged with cattle theft and sentenced to 5 years. By 1870 Mrs Kelly had been arrested for running a sly grog shop in her house - the charge was dismissed. Numerous charges were brought, some successful some dismissed. However, by 1873 Ned and Jim Kelly, Alexander Gunn, Jimmy and Pat Quinn, Jack Lloyd, Wright and Williamson, the latter a selector neighbour of the Kellys, were in gaol. Ned Kelly was released in 1874, from Pentridge, and took a job lumber-milling. By 1874 the Quinn clan had begun to suffer from police attention again, and began to select land at Greta, leaving the lease at Glenmore. The police closed the police station at Glenmore and opened a new police station at Greta. By 1876, Superintendent Nicolson, had established a regular system of surveillance on the family and its associates. It was 1877 before Ned Kelly was arrested again on a drunk and disorderly charge, the police using violence. In 1877 the number of stock reported stolen escalated, the police focused their investigation on the Quinn clan and the Kelly homestead. By October 1877 the first of a series of arrests was made. Dan Kelly, John Lloyd Jnr and Tom Lloyd Jnr were charged with violent assault and charges such as intent to rape. All the most serious charges were dismissed. Nevertheless, charges brought against a number of Kelly family associates were successful in January 1878. A key aspect of Ned Kelly's later claims was that the police had persecuted his family.
On 19 March 1878 a warrant was issued against Edward Kelly for stock theft and on 5 April 1878 warrants were issued against Dan Kelly and John Lloyd Jnr, both just out of jail, for horse theft. Between 15-16 April Constable Fitzpatrick attempted to arrest Dan Kelly at the Kelly homestead. Fitzpatick falsified his report about his failure to arrest anyone and stated in evidence that he had been shot, by Ned Kelly, although, this was not supported by the evidence. Fitzpatrick was eventually dismissed form the police force in 1881 on the grounds that he was not fit to be in the police force. However incorrect the interpretation of events was, the effect was to give the police the opportunity to put members of the Kelly family and its associates in jail for some time. The Kellys' neighbour, Williamson, was arrested by Sergeant Steele as was 'Skillion'. Steele then arrested Mrs Kelly and charged her with aiding and abetting attempted murder by Edward Kelly. John Lloyd Jnr was also arrested. On 17 May 1878 all were committed for trial, although Mrs Kelly with her new-borne child was able to secure bail. Edward (Ned) and Dan Kelly and Joe Byrne were still at large, as was George King, who had married Mrs Kelly.
The Kelly brothers were reported to have sold gold in Mansfield, leading Sergeant Kennedy of the Mansfield police station to suggest that a well-armed and mounted party should search the surrounding country at his direction. Mrs Kelly, Williamson and Skillion were tried on 9 October 1878 at Beechworth. All three were found guilty as charged, and, in passing sentence, Judge Sir Redmond Barry expressed the hope that the Greta district would now be a safer place. Mrs Kelly was sentenced to 3 years hard labour, the men to 6 years hard labour. Although many thought the sentences too harsh, the authorities would not change the penalties. In October 1878, John Lloyd Jnr was arrested for stock-theft, as was James Quinn, both known associates of the Kelly Gang.
According to McQuilton, the 'Kelly Outbreak', which ensued, was more complex than a long-standing feud with the police and lay in the issues surrounding land tenure, which occurred not just in Victoria but also in NSW between selectors and squatters. This, coupled with the Chief Commissioner of Police's establishment of rural police stations, was a contributing factor to the increasing alienation of the Kelly family, in particular Ned Kelly, and closely associated families and friends, all of whom came to be seen as fair game by the police.
The Kelly Outbreak
The police planned a pincer movement from Greta, with 4 men moving through the King Valley to Hedi, while Sergeant Kennedy was to take his men through the 'Wombat' to Hedi. As Kennedy had guessed, the Kelly brothers had gone into hiding north of Mansfield, his men finding evidence of their camp at Stringybark Creek. On 25 October 1878 Kennedy chose a campsite near the Kelly brothers camp and mine workings. Three police troopers were killed when the two Kelly brothers and their companions met the troopers camped at Stringybark Creek on 26 October 1878. The dead included Lonigan, Scanlon and Sergeant Kennedy, all killed by Ned Kelly. McIntyre, who had escaped, reached Mansfield on 27 October 1878 where he reported to Sub-Inspector Pewtress.
Groundless allegations of torture were made against the Kelly brothers, with Ned Kelly's execution 2 years later stemming directly from Lonigan's actions on 26 October 1878. Lonigan had made a break for cover when the Kelly Gang had asked the troopers to 'Bail up. Hold your hands up'. By 31 October 1878 a verdict of willful murder had been registered against the Kelly Gang, with a full-scale, military style search that came to be known as the 'Hunt'. Superintendent Nicolson arrived in Benalla to take charge; however, there were only eighty men to serve the entire 'North East'. A reward of £800 was offered for Edward and Daniel Kelly and two unknown associates. This was soon increased to £2000. The gang attempted to flee to New South Wales, but were stopped by flooding on the Murray River and turned back towards Wangaratta and Lurg. A search, which came to be known as the Sebastopol Raid, took place at this time unsuccessfully, its last day coinciding with the last chance for the gang to surrender.
As the police continued to evaluate information received, the Kelly Gang was robbing the National Bank in Euroa. The gang bailed up the entire Younghusband's station at Faithfull Creek and cut the telegraph wires before robbing the bank in relative safety. Attempts at pursuit were again unsuccessful. In December 1878, Captain Standish transferred special police to the North East for search duty. Detectives were also brought in and by the end of the month over 200 police were stationed in the region. By early January 1879 warrants were sworn out and over 30 men arrested who might be of assistance to the Kelly Gang. Twenty-three were charged, including many selectors. According to McQuilton (1987), the Chief Secretary received a letter, purported to be from Ned Kelly, scoffing at the new policy.
In January 1879 the gang crossed the Murray near Yarrawonga, and moved to Jerilderie in the Riverina, where they 'bailed up' the police. Ned Kelly told his captives that the raid had been planned to demonstrate the futility of arresting sympathizers and to embarrass the New South Wales police force. Ned planned to print his 'Cameron Letter' in the local newspaper, but it was not printed in full. On 10 February 1879, the gang intended to rob the local bank and escape. Dressed in part as troopers, the gang held up the Royal Hotel before turning their attention to the bank. For the second time the Kelly Gang had held people captive and terrorised their town, before disappearing into the mountains. On July 1879, Standish returned to Melbourne, the command of the 'Hunt' returned to Superintendent Nicolson. Unsuccessful in his search, Nicolson was replaced by Hare in June 1880. Hare established three permanent search parties at Beechworth, Benalla and Wangaratta and by mid-June had established that the Kelly Gang was still in North Eastern Victoria. On 27 June 1880 Hare received news of fresh activities from Beechworth, at a time when the gang and its leaders were almost legends. The Kelly Gang had remained at large due to police incompetence according to McQuilton.
Rumours as to the Kelly Gang's location, movements and plans were rife, with Hare's activities giving new focus to its actions. The gang turned its attention to the construction of armour, trying combinations of materials before settling on iron, plough mould-boards. Ned Kelly's armour alone weighed over 90 pounds. Aaron Sherritt was to be shot as a spy for the police, when a special party of police would have to be sent from Benalla by train to follow the gang. Ned Kelly planned to capture Glenrowan and derail the train. The plan was to be completed when the gang robbed the Bank of New South Wales. Saturday 26 June 1880 was the appointed day.
On the evening of Saturday 26 June 1880, members of the Kelly Gang went to Glenrowan to implement what would have been their most ambitious scheme and which they hoped would prompt the formation of a republic in north-eastern Victoria. Dan Kelly and Joe Byrne travelled to Beechworth to murder Aaron Sherritt, while Steve Hart and Ned Kelly planned to tear up the railway tracks at Glenrowan, in order to derail the police train travelling en route to Beechworth. This was intended to trigger a more general attack, leading to the eventual foundation of the so-called Republic of North Eastern Victoria, according to Jones (1968), although this is only one point of view.
Ned Kelly and Steve Hart set out for Glenrowan as Joe Byrne and Dan Kelly arrived at the 'Woolshed' near where Sherritt lived. Aaron Sherritt was shot and killed by Byrne at his own front door. Unable to oust the police in the house, Joe and Dan left the house for Glenrowan late in the evening. Ned Kelly and Steve Hart had arrived at McDonnell's Hotel in Glenrowan late on Saturday night. The plan went wrong from the beginning, with Steve Hart and Ned Kelly unable to lift the rail tracks. A group of workers, under contractor Louis Piazzi, camped near the line, was forced to help, but even so the pair was unable to move the tracks, and was forced to take captive any who might betray them to the police or allow news to reach the police. Women and children were taken to the stationmaster's house with men moved up the hill to Ann Jones' Glenrowan Inn. By Sunday night most had been allowed to return home, including schoolmaster Thomas Curnow, who informed the train guard, the information being passed on to the special police train. The police, under Superintendent Hare, went to the stationmaster's house where they were informed that the Kelly Gang, were holding captives at Jones' Glenrowan Inn.
Ned Kelly (in his armour) was hit in the first exchange of fire at the inn, and moved to a group of trees (Kelly Copse) some 100 metres from the inn, while Joe Byrne was wounded in the foot. During the first exchange of fire Suprintendent Nicolson was wounded in the wrist. As Ned returned to the inn, to rescue his 3 comrades, a hail of fire killed Joe Byrne inside the inn. Ned moved away from the hotel; collapsing at a fallen tree ('Kelly's Log'), he was arrested and taken to the stationmaster's cottage. After much discussion Senior Constable Johnston set fire to the inn, despite protects from Father Gibney, resulting in the deaths of Dan Kelly and Steve Hart as well as Martin Cherry, one of the gang's hostages. Two hostages were killed and three civilians wounded in the confrontation.
Ned Kelly was taken to Melbourne for trial and was executed on 11 November 1880, at Melbourne Gaol. Kelly was 25 years of age.

Stir Fried Mushrooms, Spring Leaves and Lemon Grass - april 15, 2010
This morning I realized our butter was rancid, but only after I'd taken the first bite of my bagel. I also realized that the whole wheat bagels I've been buying and pawning off on the kids are just downright nasty too - like a combination of chaff and what I would imagine Metamucil tastes like, and not the pink lemonade or berry blast flavor either. It was that kind of breakfast. Luckily, because we eat so many vegetables and fruits, I don't need to worry about things like Metamucil. At least I'm feeling good about that.

Inattentional Blindness: What Captures Your Attention?
MedSun: Newsletter #35, April 2009
Institute for Safe Medication Practices (ISMP)
The amount of information that can be taken in by our senses is limitless. But the brain has very limited resources when it comes to attentiveness. Accidents happen when attention mistakenly filters away important information and the brain fills incorrectly fills the gaps. This article describes visual attentiveness, or what captures your attention. It is shaped by four factors, conspicuity, capacity, expectation, and mental workload and task interference.

A hit-and-run suspect from earlier this morning has been located and arrested, and his deceased victim has been identified.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department Foothills District responded to a hit-and-run in the 15400 block of North Twin Lakes Drive in Catalina just after 7:30 a.m.
The victim, Jacob Lee Wyckoff, 22, was found lying on the dirt shoulder against a fence earlier this morning.
Sheriff's Homicide and Traffic Units Investigators arrived on scene.
According to a news release, it appeared that a vehicle, later identified as a black Ford F150 quad cab pickup truck, drove southbound on Twin Lakes and had traveled onto the opposite or eastern dirt shoulder where the victim was struck.
After the incident, the suspect then drove south on the shoulder and ran into some smaller trees and brush before returning back onto the roadway. This morning, the truck was found one mile north of the incident location.
Andrew R. Perez, 24, was arrested on one count of leaving the scene of an accident involving death. He was booked into the Pima County Adult Detention Center.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department says prescription medication may have been a factor in the continuing investigation.

|Check Out the Trailer
I was expecting eye candy going into this film and that's what I was served, but by the time the final course was uncovered I had gobbled up Andy and Larry Wachowski's neon-glowing confection. No one who has ever seen the original series would confuse it with good animation. Nonetheless it had a charm that was undeniable. The Wachowskis capture that charm, frosting their entire production with it. They are not interested in "improving" the original material with an overdose of extra hip wink winks — the same ingredient that has destroyed so many other animation-to-live-action adaptations. They're interested in bringing the good flavors to the forefront and minimizing the cheesy aftertaste.
Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch, INTO THE WILD) is from a family of racers, who thinks about nothing but racing. He looks up to his older brother Rex (Scott Porter, TV's FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS), a champion driver. But something happens to pull apart Rex and his dad Pops (John Goodman, BARTON FINK), spurring Rex to leave home and later parish in a racing accident. When Speed grows up, he is courted by all the major sponsors, especially Royalton (Roger Allam, V FOR VENDETTA), a shady corporate tycoon. Soon enough, Speed learns painful lessons about the way the racing world is really run and is approached by the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox, TV's LOST) to join him and blow the lid off the evil corporate conspiracy to fix races.

If you bought Twitter, own your mistake
If you grabbed the stock on its opening day, accept that you are now an investor, not a flipper, and that you simply got started at the wrong level.
I got steamed when I heard Barry Diller, the chairman of IAC/InterActive (IACI), talk Tuesday morning about how no one's actually investing in Twitter (TWTR). He claims people are just trying to make a quick buck in the name, and that the only people who will make money in it are the insiders.
I found these comments to be uninformed because, in truth, Twitter's initial public offering proceeded in the exact opposite fashion. Investors -- not traders -- were those who actually bought the stock that day. The traders were the people who flipped it to the investors. Those who were trying to make a few bucks were the people who sold it. They were not, as Barry Diller contended, the buyers. The buyers just actually thought they had bought a great company at a reasonable price -- when, in fact, what they really did was buy a very good concept at a very high price.
That's because individual investors thronged to this deal to invest in a product they like, and not in the stock of a company they had researched. There's nothing wrong with that concept per se. There are plenty of situations in which it's permissible to like a product, to research the company and then to buy the company's stock if you think it is reasonably priced vs. the enterprise and the prospects. But the people who bought Twitter that day stopped at the first part, the product's worth. Most didn't bother to analyze the actual prospects of the company, and almost no one seemed to try linking the company's stock price to Twitter's prospects, or they would have found it as absurdly overvalued as it in fact was.
It's not all the fault of the investors. Twitter was a front-ended-loaded sliver deal: Only a small piece of the total float was offered for sale, and a big concentration of that small float was given to about a dozen institutions that then purchased the rest of their stock, once it started trading, in order to get full positions in. So if a giant mutual fund got, say, 1 million shares of this 80-million-share offering at $26, it might have then gone into the open market and bought another million shares at, say, $46, to get an average of about $36.
That buyer, which has pretty much pledged both to keep the stock and to buy more, is a tough competitor -- because it has got such a good basis by virtue of its earlier allocation.
The new investor, however, gets hurt both by the paucity of the stock for sale and by the voracious appetite of that averaging-up mutual fund.
The banker would have needed to release 2x to 3x that amount of stock in order to have prevented Twitter from opening that high. This is something that, in retrospect, might have been better for all concerned, especially the company, which always needed more money.
The investors in Twitter didn't care what price they paid because they, arguably, had no intention of ever flipping it. They want to be long-term. The issue, of course, is that long-term is no excuse for overpaying. Just consider that you could have bought all of the Twitter you wanted at $41 Tuesday. I think you can buy more stock at even lower levels today. I do not believe most of those buyers at the opening that session intended to sell it higher during that very day.
They want to own it.
What do you do now if you are one of those people? I would go read any of a number of terrific research pieces that are now out about Twitter. I would learn about what you own from SunTrust's Rob Peck or Colin Sebastian at Baird, both of whom have penned high-quality, level-headed pieces about the company. They can help you make a considered judgment as to whether you should buy more, hold or sell.
Ultimately Twitter can go higher from the opening-day price. It Twitter gets it right, you could see the same denouement here as what we saw in Facebook (FB). The latter was a stock that got cut severely -- not in half, but maybe down to the low-$30s -- and then rallied higher as the company grew into its market capitalization.
I fear most that Twitter shares will get hammered again, and that you will proceed to sell. Perhaps that journey down may be too much for you. If you do the homework, you will at least be forewarned about the overvaluation, and you can either get comfortable with it or cut and run now, when it is still priced too high. Either way, accept that now you are an investor, not a flipper, and that you simply got started at the wrong level.
At the time of publication, Action Alerts PLUS, which Cramer co-manages as a charitable trust, was long FB.
More from TheStreet.com
"You are an investor, not a flipper [. . .]"
This applies to all the retail investors who were not flippers--and that's not many. The flippers were probably more than 75% of the opening day retail buyers.
". . . and [. . .] you simply got started at the wrong level."
This remark takes the cake for putting lipstick on a pig.
I do not know how Facebook, Twitter, some revolution in email, M.S. Messenger, etc. will play out in the future. I haven't got a clue. And I'm a scientist who wrote the first animated computer adventure game and am listed in the Giant List of Classic Game Programmers. I wrote my own disc operating system to bypass the copy programs of the day.
So the technical details are no problem to me. But I don't know what appeals most to the masses, don't know what new things someone's excellent mind is going to produce, don't know if Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, ABC, etc. etc. have enough muscle and expertise to finally put together the all-in-one Internet-Phone-TV product that will eventually happen.
I have a reasonable understanding of General Mills and how names like Cheerios, Green Giant, and Yoplait give them an edge. The same with Caterpillar, Coca Cola, and Abbott Lab's Similac baby formula.
So that's where my money is and that's where it will stay.
Almost didn't stop by today...should be at a Funeral Mass.

When I started writing the final installment of the Fable Experience series, I thought, "I'm gonna make this one pretty much the same as the others, but at its maximum potential." In essence, this meant that it would still mostly consist of dialogue, but with better art and more varied, interesting shots. I am now regretting this seemingly simple decision.
That said, I apologize for how long it's taking. Here's the opening scene to hold you over for a while. It's actually about the end of Fable II. Not the end of the story, mind you; just the end of the game.
EDIT: Thanks for the front page, guys!! And thanks so much to everyone who helped with our Kickstarter!
I'd also like to apologize for the video ads. I usually make it a point to turn those off because they irritate ME so much. Unfortunately, right after I exported the video and closed Flash, the editable .fla file corrupted, and I literally can't go back in and change anything.
BY THE WAY, we totally reached our Kickstarter goal!! :D Thanks so much to everyone who helped! I'd take the button off now, but as I said before, corrupted file...

I love your Fable videos! Of course I also love Fable so it's easy to enjoy the videos. Each one leaves me cracking up. I too am in the "I'm holding lightning!" boat for this one. I'm interested in seeing where this goes, as I know that look of "Oh..." when I've finished all the quests in the game.

From the Los Angeles Daily Times, March 15, 1904
With wolfish eagerness, a horde of thugs, gamblers, prostitutes and sellers of evil liquors lay in wait yesterday at the very gates of the Soldiers Home, for the pension money paid in large amounts to the old veterans last Saturday.
In order to protect the old soldiers, number of these creatures were driven out of Santa Monica just before the pension day only that they should come with dripping jaws to wait in Sawtelle, the little hamlet at the doors of the home reservation. . . .
Three gambling hells were running in full blast yesterday in Sawtelle, just by the gates. Two are run by veterans, the third by a French gambler. In their greed, they kept open, shamelessly, carelessly. All were visited by Times men yesterday.
The first house of prostitution that ever had the brazen effrontery to flaunt itself at the very door of the government reservation was opened in Sawtelle just a few days ago. . . .
Although the law forbids the selling of liquor at a soldiers home, the veterans are sold the most villainous concoctions of alcohol at blind pigs in the town, and stagger into the reservation late at night, robbed of their money and poisoned with the atrocious mixtures on which they have been fed. . . .
[One of the gambling houses] was going a wide-open business yesterday. . . . Inside were four poker tables covered with white cloth. At the one furthest from the door were four old soldiers playing. They had chips piled high in front of them.
One of the players was John Augustine, the proprietor of the place. Comrade Augustine seemed uneasy in his mind and rose from his seat as the reporters entered, causing the game to stop.
Finding that only a burning desire for cigars had drawn the visitors in, he hastened with the eagerness of relief to produce them.
As the players waited, he said piously, Go on with your game of hearts, boys.
Wasnt that a sly trick, though?
There, with big piles of poker chips in front of them, the three old rogues began playing the fascinating and thrilling game of hearts, a famous diversion at pink teas.
One of the old fellows did not know the game, and they had to punch him and shove around to make him go through the motions rightly. . . .
Incidentally, Sawtelle is simply overrun with every sort of sure-thing nickle-in-the-slot-machine known, even to the poker-card hand, which has never been beaten yet.
Something like $80,000 in cash was distributed among the pensioners at the Home last Saturday.
Where does this money go?
A good share of the pensioners do not have a cent a few weeks after pension day. Dive keepers in the city, who lay traps for the simple-hearted old men, reap a rich reward.

Don't get me wrong, I am not begrudging those who inherited their money or the right to pass down what you have earned. I merely point out that not all wealth is by the sweat of the brow or due diligence as the the poster presented the case to be.

Asked by silkchemise
The truth is that we white folks get the lion's share, and saying the only reason racism exists is because people pay attention to it is presenting PoC as people who get an equal slice of the pie, but still unfairly want more, which is outright racist. Like, there's nothing covert about it.
Imagine two kids who are sent to a fast food restaurant by their parents for lunch. One is given an allowance of $10, the other is given an allowance of only $1. The first kid buys himself a large burger, french fries, soda, and a milkshake. The second can only afford a small item from the dollar menu. Several hours later, the second kid complains to the parents that he is hungry, and the first kid says that he should have gotten more food when they were at the restaurant. The second kid points out that he only had one dollar, so he couldn't afford to buy the same amount of food as the first kid. The first kid acts offended at the implication that he is being given special treatment and that the second kid should have gotten the same allowance as him, then says the only reason he's hungry is because he keeps complaining about it. Obviously the first kid is a brat, and the reason the second is hungry isn't because he's complaining, it's because he was given less to begin with.
It's the same with the "racism only exists because people talk about it." No, racism exists because we have a system designed to keep people of color down, and "not talking about it" won't solve the problem any more than the second kid will stop being hungry just by pretending he's not.
(By the way, "stop talking about it and it will eventually go away on its own" was one of the arguments used by people on the pro-slavery side of the abolition debate.)

Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm preview
I don't consider myself easily moved. I don't cry at sad movies. I'm a stoic emotional soldier who can sit through the first ten minutes of Pixar's Up without the slightest dampening of the face. I'm tough. So I was most perturbed when I found my throat choked and my skin covered in goosebumps as I stood in front of BlizzCon's StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm stand. For me 2011 has been a time of discovery, as this year I found StarCraft and, by extension, esports. I found a game that captivated me and a community that epitomises both the best and worst of PC gaming. Chances are, a percentage of you reading these words will feel the same.
At this year's BlizzCon, Blizzard revealed the new multiplayer units for StarCraft II's next expansion, Heart of the Swarm, and I felt like my chest was going to burst with excitement.
StarCraft II is a toolkit. It's a game that provides a hammer for this job, a screwdriver for that one. Each unit has strict rules and looser applications, and that means that players familiar with the game can immediately slot new units into mental replays of the matches they've played and watched. And those new units turn the battlehoned tactics and strategies, hammered out by professionals and amateurs the world over, on their head.
The Zerg's new monsters have the most obvious practicality. The Viper replaces the Overseer, usurping that non-threatening gelatinous eyeball blob with a sinuous sky-snake. Like the Overseer, it can detect cloaked and burrowed units, but unlike the Overseer, it doesn't need to be ported into battle. The Viper can launch a standalone eyeball, gluing it onto another friendly unit. Before, Zerg players had to manoeuvre flimsy gasbags around during tussles so they could get a read on the field: now they can use their combat units as readymade spotters.
But you won't want to be leaving your Vipers at home all the time. They're Zerg spell-casters, their magic books rounded out with 'Blinding Cloud' – a gaseous mass launched at groups of enemies that reduces their effective combat range to spitting distance – and the intriguing 'Abduct'. Abduct is built to break powerful siege lines, letting the Viper yank a single unit out of position with a fleshy tendril.
The Zerg's second new unit is simpler to use. The Swarm Host is essentially a grounded Brood Lord designed to unsettle sufferers of trypophobia – don't Google it, trust me. (Go on, Google it! -Evil Ed). Waddle one near enemy lines and hit R – it'll burrow underground, then start pooping out scurrying, clawed Locusts. It's a siege attack unit that can tear apart enemy defences. Combined with the introduction of the siegebreaking Viper, Terran turtlers in the BlizzCon audience were left making sad little noises.
But Terran players have their own new toys to play with. Last year's Wings of Liberty focused on the race; this year's additions feel more like alterations. The Hellion – a speedy ground buggy armed with a straight-line flamethrower – has earned the ability to transform into a spiffy little walker. In battle mode, the Hellion's napalm range and speed are greatly reduced. Instead they gain a much wider spread of flame, and a buff to their toughness. They're great for holding ramps and choke points, as I found out when I was able to tempt a host of Zerglings into the front of my base before barbecuing them in a few wide-angle spurts.
The battle Hellion isn't the Terran's only new stompy thing. Heart of the Swarm will rarify the bipedal Thor walker, doubling the price and only letting players have one on the field at a time. But there are mitigating factors to the switch: the Thor now kicks out damage at a ridiculous rate, and it has earned an understudy. The Warhound has inherited the Thor's anti-air attack – making it perfect for dealing with Zerg Mutalisks – and comes with an anti-armour cannon that punishes the opposition's heavier playthings. They're also smaller, meaning that players won't have to play factory Tetris to avoid a conga-line of walkers stuck on scenery.
Terran generals already have perhaps the game's best territory control options in the Siege Tank and the Bunker – with Heart of the Swarm, they'll be able to add the Shredder to that list. It's a tiny robot that, when burrowed, produces a radioactive death field in a radius around its hidey-hole. Any enemy that sets foot/chitinous claw/floaty energy field inside that space is bathed in a horrible nuclear glow that saps their health. It's ideal for closing off entry routes to your areas of interest, but park one of your own units inside the Shredder's death field and it'll shut itself off.
That's no good if you're relying on them for the irradiated death of your foes, but clever leaders could lure armies through 'safe' areas before allowing their little robo-chums to come back online.
If the Terran arsenal changes are all about finetuning, the new Protoss units are about wild experimentation. The mouthless space elves lose their fighter-spewing Carrier unit in multiplayer, but gain a new flyer called the Tempest.
It shoots in both of the game's planes, firing blobs of blue goo that melt light air units like the Mutalisk, and sending an arc of psi-lightning down towards ground targets. Blizzard want Tempests as massed late-game options, and they're a direct response to Protoss complaints that they can't effectively counter large airforces.
Join the battle in the skies, build a Protoss stargate and you'll have access to the new Oracle. It's a flying spellcasting unit that specialises in buggering up your enemy's carefully thought-out timings. 'Phase Shift' lets you scrub a unit out of existence for just under a minute – ideal for removing big nasties from army makeups while you rearrange your forces – and 'Pre- Ordain' allows you to watch an enemy building's surroundings and production for two minutes. As if the floaty pixies didn't have enough scouting options with Observers.
'Entomb' rounds out the Oracle's spell-set, and lets players encase vital mineral patches in weird magic glass, restricting mining from them and halting economies until removed.
That leaves one last new unit, and here's where things gets a little madder. The final Protoss addition is the Replicant: a glowing ball that can turn into almost anything it's pointed at. It's a potentially game-breaking addition: Replicant-heavy Protoss armies have access to three tech trees instead of one, and can create lethal armies of perfectly overlapping units.
But in practice, that's not so simple. When tinkering with the new units in a skirmish game, I tried to saunter into my Zerg opponent's base, cast an eye over their worker Drones, and sashay a copied version back into my own base. But without an escort, my ersatz Drone was popped by a minimal force. I elected instead to send an escort force to get my Replicant in and my new Drone out. I lost my task force, but I was able to gain a Drone. After 15 minutes of climbing up both Protoss and Zerg upgrade routes, my mixed force was able to smash through the solo Zerg's front lines – Zerg Roaches ablating hits as my Protoss High Templars were free to sit back and launch devastating psionic storms.
Heart of the Swarm's new multiplayer units are focused missiles, all introduced as either replacements or new entities to fix issues in the game's asymmetrical matchups. It's the same tactic that Blizzard have used in the singleplayer portions of this game, and in Wings of Liberty before it: units are introduced and shown as fulfilling a specific role.
The key difference is in execution – Heart of the Swarm's singleplayer walks players through the best way to use a new toy; the multiplayer decides you're mature enough to handle things yourself, presses the toolbox into your hands, gives you a wink, and says "have fun". It's enough to get me all emotional.

Gadkari asks farmers to avail subsidies; not think of suicide
Nagpur, Jul 10 (PTI) BJP President Nitin Gakdari today advised farmers from Vidarbha not to take the extreme step of committing suicide and asked them to improve their financial condition by availing of farm subsidies given by the Centre.
"You all (farmers) should develop inner strength and self-confidence to overcome the crisis in agriculture and not resort to suicide," he said and suggested them to fully utilise subsidies provided by the government.
Gadkari was addressing a gathering of farmers and experts who recently toured Israel to learn new techniques to improve farm yield and augment milk production here.
In Israel, the average rainfall is just six inches while in Maharashtra it is 45 inches. Enterprising farmers there are utilising best drip irrigation methods to get maximum farm output, the former Maharashtra Minister said.
Be it horticulture, floriculture, agriculture or dairy products, Israel tops in terms of area and output, he said.
Gadkari said Israel was using the best available technology and methodology to improve farm production and its farmers are minting money.
A delegation of 50 farmers from Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, led by Gadkari, had in May visited Israel to take part in an agricultural technology exhibition.
Gadkari is also Chairman of Purti Group of Industries, which is engaged in production of sugar, fertilisers, power and ethanol.
On use of ethanol, the BJP chief said the motor fuel, which can be produced from wheat, corn, beet, sweet sorghum, was far cheaper than petrol.
Gadkari said he has suggested top mobike manufacturer Hero Group make ethanol-based engine for motorcycles to reduce dependence on petrol.

Since the inception of standardized tests in our schools, many debates have raged regarding their value. Critics often contend that schools are "testing students to death", while supporters argue that testing allows for accountability at the student, teacher, and school level. The dispute may continue, but for now, let's examine whether standardized test results provide any indication of the future educational attainment of the students who take them. It turns out that in districts across Ohio, proficiency on standardized tests (in both reading and mathematics) correlates moderately well with high school graduation and college remediation rates.
First, let's examine the relationship between proficiency and high school graduation. Figure 1 represents the eighth-grade proficiency and graduation rate for each Ohio district as a point on the graph. Proficiency data from 2007-08 are paired with 2011-12 graduation rates, since eighth-grade students in spring 2008 were scheduled to graduate in spring 2012 under the conventional pathway to graduation.[1] For the most part, we observe a positive correlation between the two variables—the line that best fits the points trends upward. Our R-squared values[2] (the measure of the "goodness" of the trend lines' fit through the points), and the correlation coefficients[3] indicate that this link is moderate in strength.
Districts with higher proficiency rates tend to have higher graduation rates and vice-versa. Generally speaking, this suggests that test results are linked to high-school graduation. Yet a district's proficiency rate isn't the only factor...
There's not a ton of stories today, but those few clips are pure gold:
Common Core watchers out there have probably heard this one before: All the teachers I know hate the Common Core.
There are undoubtedly some teachers who dislike the Common Core, but recent polls suggest that most teachers support the new standards. During my three years of teaching (completed a month ago), most of my colleagues and I liked the Common Core. One reason we supported the new standards was because they gave us more freedom. Detractors claim that standards tell teachers how to teach. But I taught Common Core after teaching Tennessee's state standards, and while Common Core did give me expectations for what my students should know and be able to do by the end of the year (just like the previous standards did), it allowed me to decide what and how to teach.
Let's consider, for example, the first literature standard for ninth graders (the grade I taught), which states, "Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text." Most would agree that using evidence to support the analysis of a text is crucial. Students ought to know how to cite evidence instead of simply writing about their opinions and feelings.
That's all the standard says, though. Nothing more, nothing less.
The standard didn't tell me when in the year I should teach the skill. I could spend as much...
Teach For America (TFA) is one of the nation's largest alternative routes into the teaching profession. In the 2013–14 school year, there were 11,000 corps members reaching more than 750,000 students in high-need classrooms all around the country, including nearly 150 TFA members in the Cleveland and Cincinnati-Dayton areas. Yet even with TFA's growing scale, its teachers are a proverbial drop in the bucket compared to the country's teaching force of approximately 3 million. This raises the question of how best to allocate these young, enthusiastic teachers. Should corps members be dispersed widely across a district's schools, or should they be "clustered" into targeted schools? Would having a high density of TFA members in a few, high-need schools provide positive learning benefits even for students with non-TFA teachers ("spillover" effects)? This new study analyzes the impact of clustering TFA members in Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), using district level data from 2008–09 to 2012–13. TFA altered its placement strategy in M-DCPS in 2009–10 and began to cluster members in a smaller number of turnaround schools. For example, among middle schools with a TFA member, 18 percent of the school's teaching staff was, on average, TFA in 2012–13, compared to just 4 percent in 2008–09. The researchers, however, found that the higher density of TFA members in the targeted schools yielded no significant "spillover" benefits—as measured by test-score gains—for students with non-TFA teachers. That said, this study replicates the finding that TFA teachers, in math at least,...

University of Connecticut men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun will take an indefinite medical leave of absence, effective immediately, according to UConn officials.
University officials said he is leaving to deal with worsening spinal stenosis, a lower back condition that causes him severe pain and hampers mobility.
Officials said Calhoun will not be coaching the game against Seton Hall on Saturday nor Monday's game at Louisville.
Calhoun has missed 21 games during his career at UConn, 17 for medical reasons. He has had to leave another 11 games with health problems. His last extended medical leave came in 2010, when he missed seven games with stress-related issues.
His condition will be checked out every day as more options for his treatment are sought out.
University officials said that Associate Head Coach George Blaney will be in charge of the team in Calhoun's absence.

An easy and effective way to get started with building an online businesses is to create how-to guides. The cool thing is that creating how-to guides doubles as both product creation and affiliate marketing, with the benefits of both.
Each guide is a product you can sell, but you can and should include affiliate links to recommended other products (and links to other products of your own if you have them), which means you can earn commissions. Finally, you can recruit affiliates of your own to help you sell these guides.

99% of all teams finish the season with a loss
I've been to two CBA finals, I've been to a European Cup Final, and I've been to an NBA final and I've lost every game. You know, a long time ago I wrote kind of a paper for a leadership program on what the difference between a winner and a champion is. It's in me. I do want to some day end my season with a win. There is no question that would be probably the greatest thing in the world to end a season with a win, because 99% of all teams end the season with a loss. - George Karl, newly hired coach of the Denver Nuggets, to ESPN.
We'll ignore for the mean time that most major league sports have about 30 teams, so each championship team is itself about 3%. Then, you have to add in those teams who don't make the playoffs but still win their last game (i.e. the 2004 Cubs). I'll dispute the 99% figure, but the rest of the quote is interesting.
What I would have liked to hear is Karl explain what he believes is the difference between a champion and a winner, and why he is a winner. I also want to know, is Dusty Baker a champion or just a winner? For that matter, is Bobby Cox just a winner? Thirteen straight trips to the playoffs... one ring?
I don't necessarily agree that winning the final game of a season makes one a champion rather than a winner... although I guess it does technically... so I am going to try something here.

Red Sox ..... Yankees
George Davidson
2003 Cubs....2005 Cubs (ever the optimist)
Scott G. F.
Great question. No right answer for it.
Bobby Cox....Phil Jackson = unfair comparison
Bobby cox won. He is a champion even with one ring.
The difference between winner and champion is timing. You can win all you want during the regular season (Cards), but winning come playoff time when it really counts makes a champion.
George Davidson
I would agree that being a champion is about timing, but you have to be a winner first. Over the course of a 6 month, 162 game season, you have win consistently to have an opportunity to be a champion. The Braves have done that 13 years in a row now. Once you're a winner, it comes down not to just getting "hot" for a couple of weeks (which I think the 2003 Cubs were) but also not having an opponent that is "hotter" (which the 2003 Marlins certainly were).
I hope and believe that the Cubs are moving in the direction of being Braves-like; that is, to have an organization that is cultivating young talent from within and acquiring other key pieces to have a franchise that is consistently a "winner". If you're in the playoffs every year, it's just a matter of time before you break loose and become a "champion".
Some organizations have been able to buy or piece together one-shot champions that are quickly dismantled and are no longer even winners. I want a Cubs championship more than anything, but I also desperately want to believe that we can have an annually successful organization of winning teams that is always one late-season hot streak away from being champions.
In other words, it's not enough for me to get the pretty girl. The fairy tale is to also live happily ever after. Am I destined for heartbreak? Probably. But as a Cubs fan, I'm well conditioned for it.
Miss Fantastick
The only thing that the Cubs have that the Braves don't right now is Greg Maddux.
While I hope that the Cubs do turn into the Braves(i.e. WINNING), I just hope they win more World Series than Atlanta.
Isn't specualtion so much fun?
Cubdom Byron
Scott, You are right on Bobby Cox. He does have the ring, so he is a champion. Maybe it would have been better to do something like this.
Mike Hargrove ... Phil Jackson.
Jackson though is a TRUE champion.
Miss Fantastick... I don't want to get too greedy. I'll take a championship now, and we can argue how many of them we want after we get one. 1908. 1908. 1908.
Well, at least we didn't throw a World Series.
Scott G.F.
Sosa is a bird in Baltimore. OMG shit Bannanas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Miss Fantastick
Yeah. 1908. I have that year tattooed on my forehead!
Jeez. These things take time.
I swear, the Diamondbacks could win it this year.
Oh well, at least you remembered the "k."

International Customers
I have a few ideas and questions, mainly to do with International Customers.
1) Is it possible for Blurb to accumulate more profit on my behalf before sending me a check? The thing is, cashing a USD check in a foreign country often involve hefty processing fee, and if I receive a check for every USD100 I make, the % of processing feee to be taken out from my profit is ridiculously high.
2) I also order books through blurb. Will it be possible for Blurn to hold on to my credit and allow me to use the credit (from book sales) towards buying/printing more books?
Thanks. ws
That is a great idea! I would love to have a credit to make more books!
I hope Blurb read these forums!
Yes, we read our Forums, every single post. That said, the ideas here are very good suggestions. We will definitely consider them as we look to 2009 improvements and upgrades to the entire Blurb experience.
– Kathy
It would definitively help international customer indeed… as well as Paypal
