The receptionist in the morning was very helpful, willing to help out in any way.
We had some vehicle trouble on the the trip in and arrived at 12:00 am and they did not have my reservation. we then ended up with the worst room in the hotel, there was an outside bar across the street, the side door to the hotel next to our door and the kitchen ended up on the other side of our room. We were awoken early in the morning with the staff making breakfast, I went to check on what all of the noise was and found out we were next to the kitchen, that is when I found out that there were other rooms available. I learned in the morning that there were other rooms available and she could not understand why we ended up in room 114. I had a feeling that i was treated differently at check in because I booked my room thru Kayak instead of Ivy Court direct, I will not stay at this hotel again.

It was fairly clean and had a mini fridge.
Owners obviously don't care about fixing any issues. It was expensive for what you got.I would never stay here again. We were in a pinch to get a room for the night, but I wish I would have spent $20 more and got a much nicer hotel. Not recommend.

Mediocre 4.0
I have stayed in the hotel at this location for 3 Notre Dame football weekends in the last 4 years. This is the first year the hotel is operating under the 'Quality Inn' brand. Unfortunately, while the old Jameson Inn was clean, the staff courteous and the rooms comfortable, this year the rooms were not ready at (a late 4:00) check-in, the hallways were always either filled with bags of towels and garbage or stains on the floor from said towels and garbage, and our room had cigarette ashes (in a smoke free facility nonetheless), body hair in the tub and urine all over the toilet seat. So...I think the score is self explanatory. Perhaps they should call it the 'Poor Quality Inn.' What a shame. The Jameson was a great place for the price.
Okay 6.0
It was all right, the air conditioning/heating worked which is good because they have no blankets in the room. The bath tub was definitely dirty (floor). The pillows are HORRIBLE, I decided to use my jeans and sweatshirt as pillow. For one night was ok.. not sure I'll stay there again if I ever go back to South Bend, IN.

The location was a bit seedy compared to where the other hotels are in that area.The front desk clerk, Marquisha (I think was her name) was just lovely. Very friendly yet professional.

Comparing Two Mountains (part II) , by Allen Gillespie
October 19, 2011 |
How to quantify similarities between such "mountains" [i.e. price charts] ?
1) Decide trailing periods and criteria to be used - YTD performance > X, last 5 year performance > Y, etc
2) Build universe/database of similar companies for each year
3) Build correlation table to confirm
4) Build composite model
5) Look at forward if-then test
In my experience, the bearish case on high momentum names, frankly any name, is best fundamentally analyzed as a move from Blue Oceans to Red Oceans and along with general market trends. Blue oceans situations tend to be P/E unconstrained, consistent growers, etc http://www.blueoceanstrategy.com/ but once we move into the Porter world of Competitive Strategy then P/E becomes constrained which leads to compression. Generally, there are subtle clues - RIMM announced a move into consumer markets where AAPL played- so the business market was saturated - NFLX CFO left when the stock was below $200 on its way to $300. They started focusing on cost strategies, changing the story from new subscriber adds. I haven't followed GMCR that closely - but is there a competitive threat that is changing the marketplace - are they experiencing a strategy change - that's the key question.
Solar existed on subsidies granted by bankrupt governments, so it has to compete with more economic alternatives. Hence, the president's loan issue.
Stocks have to compete with bonds, so stocks crashed in 1929, 1987, 2000, 2008, etc
EK lost to digital photography.
My worst mistake ever came from Able Labs - a generic drug maker - had 26 NDAs pending, huge margins and a new lab in NJ - problem: small reference to litigation in the SEC filings that later turned out to be because they were getting their margins by diluting the drugs - stock went from new high list to opening down something like 86%, where I sold before watching it go to $0 in 30 days. Subtle clues. They are really important if one is making the bearish case.
in reply to Victor Niederhoffer's comment:
Strange similarity between those two [NFLX and GMCR] to a person who looks at it as
two mountains of different heights with similarly looking crests
relative to the peak.
Query. How would one quantify similarities between such mountains?
And once quantified, what is best way to see the predictive value of
such similarities. I am reminded of the cotton traders most famous
trade. He noted that 1987 looked similar to 1929. then he knew it was
going to have a crash. The drunk man saw the same similarity and started
out long that Monday, and then sold. Between the two of them, they were
enough to trip the portfolio insurance to sell.
Query. How ridiculous can you get without quantifying the two
questions I asked? I say it wasn't that similar to 1929 as compared to
other years. and also that the ones most similar to a given few years of
bearishness, in the past, the less is the relation between past and
present. i.e. no predictive value to start.
Gibbons Burke comments:
There is another model which incorporates a similar gradual buildup with no appreciable change, then catastrophic breakdown, like the straw breaking the camel's back. A simple model is dropping grains of sand onto a surface. A pile builds up. With each grain the pile gets higher and higher, in an orderly fashion and is stable, until the angle of repose gets to a critical point, at which the next grain of sand sets off an avalache. Similar but subtly different. The concept is known as "self-organized criticality", and I suppose it may have some relevance to how bubbles build up and then collapse:
Christopher Tucker writes:
See also Slope Stability Analysis Methods:
A similar criticality phenomenon is Flashover:
(quoting the wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashover )
A flashover is the near simultaneous ignition of all combustible material in an enclosed area. When certain materials are heated they undergo thermal decomposition and release flammable gases. Flashover occurs when the majority of surfaces in a space are heated to the autoignition temperature of the flammable gases (see also flash point). Flashover normally occurs at 500 °C (930 °F) or 1,100 °F for ordinary combustibles, and an incident heat flux at floor level of 1.8 Btu/ft²*s (20 kW/m²).[1]
another is Phase Transition: (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_transition )
A phase transition is the transformation of a thermodynamic system from one phase or state of matter to another.

Gibbons Burke responds:
I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time to capture a flashover in a fire near my home (in 2006) in New Orleans:
Stefan Jovanovich comments:
The sad fact is that the firefighter community still has no agreement on how to deal with flashover risk. They have not even settled on the question of whether to use a wide fog or straight stream!!!!!
The best teacher I ever had (an instructor at the Navy's Damage Control School in Philadelphia), said that the Navy were the only firefighters who had figured out how to do something besides spray and pray - i.e. use foam to suffocate fires and inert gases to secure the fuel lines - and even so there was a fatal tendency to believe that all you needed to do was get a big enough bucket. He pointed out to the class that the greatest risk of the Forrestal fire turned out to be the water from the firefighting itself, which almost capsized the ship and washed away the retardant foam.

Growing organic medical marijuana in hydroponic systems can be problematic. This is because most organic nutrients available today are full of sediment and smell like waste management plants. The combination of the sludge and the odor created by these nutrients makes indoor organic hydroponic cultivation virtually impossible.
The sludge, produced by excess sediment, clogs pumps and feed lines, creating a nightmare for the grower. The odor is enough to send Pepe Le Pew running for the hills. It is possible to brew your own high quality organic teas, but removing the sediment and odor takes some serious processing which deters even the most motivated organic gardeners.
Advanced Nutrients corrects the many obstacles facing the organic hydroponic grower with their one-part Iguana Juice. Don't let the name fool you, there are no iguana by-products in this formula. Instead, Iguana Juice is made up of a proprietary blend of quality organic nutrients including fish extract, guano, earthworm castings, yucca, krill, alfalfa and volcanic ash.
The good folks at Advanced Nutrients realized the need for a sediment-free, organic fertilizer to use in hydroponic systems. With the use of a heated pressurized system, Iguana Juice undergoes a quadruple filtration process. This ensures that Iguana Juice can be used in virtually all hydroponic systems without the worry of clogging pumps, emitters or feed lines.
Like all of their products, Advanced Nutrients created Iguana Juice with the medical marijuana grower in mind; specifically testing this product on the plants we grow. Iguana Juice Grow is a one-part complete fertilizer for the vegetative stage and Iguana Juice Bloom is a one-part complete fertilizer for the blooming stage. This formula is easy to use and comes with a risk-free, money back guarantee. I have used Iguana Juice indoors and outdoors, in soil and in hydroponics with impressive results. I believe Iguana Juice is the most complete one-part organic fertilizer on the market today.

GEORGE, Wash.--The victim in an armed robbery in George, Washington spoke exclusively to KREM 2 News.
Authorities said four masked men barged into Sandoval's Food Store, tied up employees and stole money.
The armed robbers were at the store for ten minutes. Those minutes were terrifying for the victims.
WATCH: Video released of violent grocery store robbery in George
"She was fixing the bread and she saw them coming right there through our window. When she saw that she ran that way, but they saw her and went after her," said store owner Ezequiel Sandoval.
Sandoval got a frantic call from one of his employees on Thursday night saying armed gunmen had just robbed his store.
"She was working usually, and then four guys showed up with guns," said Sandoval.
Lydia Cruz said she tried to run to the back of the store but one of the men caught her. Another locked a back door. One went after a second clerk working behind the counter.
The employees were tied up and held at gun point. Surveillance video shows a gunman going through the cash register.
Sandoval said one of the gunmen took Cruz to an office and demanded more money.
"They sat her on the chair right there and they told her, if she didn't give them the money, she was gonna die right there," said Sandoval.
Sandoval said after the gunmen left, Cruz and the other clerk untied themselves.
The attack left Cruz in fear.
"Right now, she can't sleep. She thinks that anybody that she sees is that person and might try to do something to her," said Sandoval.
Cruz resigned. The other clerk in the incident is taking some time off. Authorities said if you recognize any features of clothing on the men, to call the Grant County Sheriff's Office.

PORTAGE (WKZO) -- A couple was arrested early this morning after they were caught in a stolen car, but not until after a dangerous high speed crash.
Portage Police took the initial report and got the tip that the car might be in Vicksburg. They traveled down there and spotted the car, which fled, leading police from Portage, Vicksburg and Schoolcraft all over the area.
The car was finally stopped when stop strips were deployed near Portage Road and the car went about 100 yards went off the road.
The man and woman made a run for it, but were tracked down about a half hour later by K-9's, and taken into custody for car theft and fleeing and eluding.

David Morris | Apr 28, 2010 | Comments 11
"Whenever you can win a playoff series, it feels good. I don't know who said it was going to be an easy series or we were going to get upset. It was two teams that played hard going back to the regular season. It was a very tough series. I give them a lot of credit. It could have really gone either way."
This was Patrick Sharp's summary of the series against the Predators, but it could have been a preview of the rematch between the Blackhawks and the Vancouver Canucks. The ingredients for a classic combat are there. Two talented teams with a history of hate; two teams who match up in a variety of areas; two teams who have been anointed as legitimate contenders for the Stanley Cup.
This spring's rendezvous is the fourth Stanley Cup Playoff Series between Chicago and Vancouver.
Though the Canucks had home ice advantage last year, the Hawks overcame them in six. In the 1995 Semis, Vancouver was swept. In their initial tilt, the 1982 Campbell Conference Finals, the Canucks prevailed four games to one.
Long time fans will remember the 1982 series for many reasons. Among them, the performance of Canucks goalie Richard Brodeur; the presence of ex-Hawks Bobby Schmautz, Ivan Boldirev, Darcy Rota and future Hawk Curt Fraser on the Vancouver roster. An interesting piece of hockey trivia is that Colin Campbell, current NHL Senior Vice President and Director of Hockey Operations, played defense for that Canucks team.
That year, the Blackhawks were coached by former d-man and team captain, the late, Keith Magnuson, no stranger to the muscular side of the sport. They featured the pugilism of Al Secord, and the rambunctiousness of Terry 'Rosco' Ruskowski–a captain who led his team not only on the ice, but in readiness to drop the gloves–Greg Fox, and Dave Hutchison, as well as the testy and talented Darryl Sutter, to name a few. Those who enjoy sifting through hockey history will take note of Florent Robidoux, whose brief moments as a Blackhawk–and an NHLer–were also marked by his willingness to bash and crash.
The Canucks were coached by the irascible Harry Neale. They had a few robust characters of their own, including the infamous Dave 'Tiger' Williams; Harold Snepsts; and Stan Smyl, all of whom racked up massive penalty minutes, Williams having the dubious distinction of 343 PIM that year.
It is fair to say the belligerent tone between the Blackhawks and Canucks was set almost three decades ago.
In 2010, the regular season saw a split. Each won a pair in regulation; each won in the other's building. The scores reflect an even dynamic: the Canucks stole the opener in Chicago 3-2, with the Hawks coming back to stone the Canucks 1-0 Nov. 22 at GM Place. Vancouver responded with a dominating 5-1 home win January 23rd, with Chicago being equally dominant in their 6-3 close out March 5th at the United Center.
Hawks captain Jonathan Toews couched his view in customary understatement: "I'm sure they're going to be looking forward to getting back at us. You don't have to say much about it. There is a history. We don't like each other too much, I think everyone knows that. And these are the types of games that you live for and look forward to."
If the rivalry needed to be stoked, the hit delivered last fall by Nucks blueliner Willie Mitchell on Toews, knocking the star captain out for several games with a concussion, might be enough. The irony in Mitchell now being sidelined with post-concussion symptoms, only adds to the controversy.
The war has already started in the minds of the media. The Chicago Tribune's Steve Rosenbloom and the Vancouver Province's Tony Gallagher exchanged salvoes, Rosenbloom calling out Roberto Luongo and Gallagher saying Luongo nemesis Dustin Byfuglien was "already getting his butt enlarging pads ready."
The trash talk from all sides will increase in volume.
Some will focus on the characterization of Vancouver as 'Canada's team'. However, both clubs have an equal number of Canadians on their roster (including four Hawks from the Vancouver area, whereas the Canucks have none); while Chicago has more Canadian hockey Olympians. Flag-waving fervor colors the coverage by the Canadian media and the commentary by fans above the 49th parallel. This, in an age where hockey has never been more international, and where the NHL's "Hockey Is For Everyone" charity efforts are creating new converts around the world.
But all of this makes for great theater, and hockey is spectacle as much as it is sport.
The spectacle of the brash Blackhawks battling the cunning Canucks, in a festival of flash and feistiness, may deliver the best series of the 2010 NHL Playoffs. The sparring was fueled even during the Olympics; when, during the handshakes after the Canada-USA Final, Roberto Luongo told Patrick Kane, "See you in the playoffs."
Stripping away the partisan perspective, the facts, and the season record head-to-head, tell us these rivals are ready to pit strength against strength. How do these break down?
Rather than elaborate on extensive statistical comparison, here are snapshots of both teams, with a focus on their first round play.
Season record: As previously stated, the teams split their series, and both proved they can win in the other's building. Their offensive totals are nearly identical; Chicago is slightly better in goals against.
Ex-Red Wing Mikael Samuelsson has been a very strong addition to the Canucks, doing what the much more expensive Mats Sundin could not. He's currently leading Vancouver in playoff scoring. Not much needs to be said about the prowess of Henrik Sedin, this year's Art Ross Trophy winner; and his equally able twin brother Daniel. While the Sedins will draw the checking attention of John Madden, Dave Bolland and Jonathan Toews, Samuelsson, along with the mercurial Pavol Demitra and big Steve Bernier, will be players to watch. Ryan Kesler, Mason Raymond, Alex Burrows and Kyle Wellwood all have a 'nose for the net'.
On the other side, Marian Hossa is a major upgrade to the Hawks team that dive bombed Luongo last spring. Toews, Kane and Sharp are threats the Nucks already know. While Troy Brouwer has been finding his game again after an absence due to his father's illness, a Brouwer at full power can break games open. Tomas Kopecky, who struggled all year, is finally rounding into form. The disruptive Dustin Byfuglien may see his time split between defense and forward. Kris Versteeg is one of the most offensively creative players on the Blackhawks. Both he and Bolland score clutch goals. Rockford call-up Bryan Bickell has added 'net presence' playing with Toews and Kane.
Edge: even
Even without Willie Mitchell, the Vancouver defense appears to have improved over last year. Ex-Shark Christian Erhoff and the emerging Alex Edler are smart, sizeable d-men; Kevin Bieksa and Sami Salo are steady veterans. Andrew Alberts, Shane O'Brien, and Aaron Rome (currently day-to-day) add the nasty factor.
The Blackhawks are breathing easier since Brian Campbell returned to the lineup, though the absence of Kim Johnsson is a handicap. The Top 4 of Norris Trophy finalist Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook, Campbell and Nik Hjalmarsson is among the league's best. Former Canuck Brent Sopel's skills are well known to Vancouver fans, and Sopel is coming off an outstanding series against Nashville. Whether Byfuglien or Jordan Hendry (who can also play forward) are in the rotation, the Hawks have options, including the serviceable and boisterous Nick Boynton in reserve.
Edge: Chicago.
To paraphrase Hawks legend and former coach Denis Savard (who played in the '82 series), "In the playoffs, your stars usually cancel each other out. So your supporting cast has to make the difference." That in mind, how players like Vancouver's Tanner Glass, Michael Grabner, Rick Rypien, Jannik Hansen and Darcy Hordichuk; and Hawks Adam Burish, Ben Eager, Andrew Ladd, Colin Fraser and John Madden play their respective roles, can tip the balance. Madden's Cup-winning experience is an intangible that is already paying off; his penalty killing skill in OT helped saved Game Five against the Predators.
Edge: even.
Physical play:
Both teams like to mix it up, and both teams have the bodies with which to do it. As previously illustrated, the blood has boiled between them for many years: Hawk great Troy Murray still remembers the intimidating presence of Harold Snepsts. And finding classic fights between Chicago and Vancouver crews is a pastime that delights donnybrook-loving denizens of YouTube. The hair-pulling incident between Alex Burrows and Duncan Keith still propels hockey forum debates. The recent sparks that have flown between Andrew Ladd and Ryan Kesler may ignite anew.
Edge: even.
Special teams:
Vancouver's power play is far superior to Nashville's, so Chicago's excellent playoff penalty killing will have a major challenge. While the Hawks have been less effective with the man advantage, the Canucks showed significant weakness when a man down against the Kings.
Edge: even.
On the heels of his Olympic gold, Roberto Luongo assures everyone he's ready to take the Canucks to the next level. But he was shaky in the early going against Los Angeles, even getting yanked in Game Three after allowing four goals on sixteen shots. Questions about his mental toughness, particularly against the Hawks, will persist in part because of his own statements. Speaking post-game about his meltdown in Chicago this past March: "I don't think we had a great period and I don't think we were ready to play. Unfortunately, I felt good. That's the sad part. I felt ready. I felt sharp. And the goals kept going in." Is the memory of Patrick Kane's playoff hat trick still haunting him?
At the opposite end of the ice, Antti Niemi put up two shutouts in Round One, but the skeptics refuse to be convinced that an unproven, undrafted Finn with an unorthodox style can carry the Hawks deep into the post season. Niemi may give up the occasional errant goal; however, he seems to keep pucks out when it counts the most, as he did in the Game 6 cliffhanger against the Predators. On statistics alone, he's outperformed Luongo so far; but he'll have to be at his best against an explosive Canuck offense.
When asked the question, "Whose goaltending do you worry about most?" recently on "NHL On The Fly", TV analysts Cup winning d-man Larry Murphy and former Flames GM Craig Button replied, "Both."
Edge: Chicago.
The Blackhawks and Canucks share the weight of massive expectations. Both have been tagged as Stanley Cup contenders. Chicago has the recent experience of going to the Conference Final.
The Hawks have been accused of inconsistent play, and even the local journalists maintain that Chicago played less than its best hockey in Round One.
If there's any truth to that viewpoint, the Canucks will make the Blackhawks pay dearly. As they showed in their crushing victory back in January, Vancouver will jump on each and every Hawk mistake and hammer them. So the Hawks have to be ready from the first puck drop.
The Canucks appear to be more than ready. Alex Edler, from the April 26th article in the Vancouver Province: "I think Chicago has a little more skill than L.A., which had a lot of big, strong guys. It would be fun to play Chicago again. They have been good all year and they are a really good team."
Vancouver also has more to prove than just getting revenge for last year's series defeat. In their thirty-year NHL history, they have advanced past the second round just twice, in 1982 and 1994.
Edge: Vancouver.
Alain Vigneault and Joel Quenneville are both excellent coaches who know the value of balancing offense and defense.
Edge: even.
Keys to the series:
Execution and effort make the difference in this exciting matchup of elite squads. As talent-laden as these rosters are, the series will hinge on the mistakes and unpredictable events—and ability to respond in kind—that are emblematic of playoff hockey.
Likely result:
Chicago's home ice advantage is critical to their chances for success. Both teams will probably win one game in the other's building, so this series could go all the way to the wire.
Should that be the case, the Blackhawks likely win in seven, as the United Center roars.
However, if the Hawks falter at any point, the Canucks might shock them in six before an ecstatic Vancouver crowd.
So one can argue the victor will be the team that demonstrates the most will and killer instinct.
That said, predicting the outcome of this series is a crapshoot: as of this writing, the Vegas betting line at Belmont Sports listed the Hawks as 9-2 Cup favorites and the Canucks at 6-1. Leading Canadian online betting resource, Bodog, has the Hawks as 9/4 favorites to win the Western Conference, with Vancouver at 3/1 odds; their Cup odds have Chicago at 4-1 and the Canucks at 6-1.
That narrow margin is a reflection of the closeness of the competition we are likely to see.
Hockey fans, no matter who they cheer for, will be rewarded.

Well done Dave…I think Savard's comments will ring true.
Well done, David. This series is just too close to call in every aspect.
Jesse Rogers is reporting that Buff has been practicing at forward alongside Madden and Brouwer and his derriere has been spotted in front of the net during PP drills. So that means Hendry or Boynton will draw in again.
For me, I'd rather start on the road. With the homogenization of NHL rinks, one wonders what home-ice advantage really is anymore. Losing one of the first two at home puts us in hole and frankly, the 'hawks play a more complete game on the road. Alas, that's not to be, so two wins are imperative, IMO, for the 'hawks to advance.
This year's Canuck team is far more explosive than the last year's cohort. The 'hawks will need to be "in the game" all the time as Vancouver can quickly pump in three or four goals if you're not on your game or have a slight let down. One thing's for sure, this Canuck team is never out of a game as evidenced by the remarkable 3rd period comebacks they produced this year.
Last year it was all about Bobby Lou, and while he has been average this year, the Canucks' new-found scoring prowess has more than made up for this.
One area where I would give the nod to the Left Coaster's is in net presence. They have several forwards who crash the crease without reserve and I'm not sure we're strong enough physically on D to deal with it. Samuelsson has been scary so far, he's cagey smart and when he's with the Sedin's he knows where to go to get the puck.
Excellent blog Dave, I wrote one very similar to this yesterday seen here if interested
I gave the slight edge to Vancouver at the forward depth unless Bolland/Brouwer/Byfuglien the 3 B's can step it up and bring some sort of physicality. I doubt very much we can be as physical as the Canucks but as we have seen in the past Chicago does not get out of position just to make a hit which is very smart.
Great read Dave. Lots of even calls though, not really going out on a limb eh. :)
My prediction? It is all about Luongo. Which one will we see. I know that during the Olympics I had no confidence in him and felt Canada won in spite of him.
Even that save he made the other night on Ryan Smyth, great save, but he had put himself way out of position in the first place. I find he tends to turn the wrong way on way to many occasions.
We shall see. One thing I am pretty sure of, it is going to be a great series.
Gentlemen, thank you all for your comments.
Watching all the games this year between these teams, it just looks like they are the perfect match in so many ways.
The cliché "whoever wants it more" might just be a perfect fit as well for this series.
Dave, thanks so much for the reply on my blog I really appreciate that. I am not a pro "writer" yet by any means but it sure is enjoyable.
As always I look forward to more of your and Al's articles and will keep trying to create more traffic this way. Keep up the great work!

All times Eastern.
(*–if necessary)
*—will be necessary!
Byfuglien moves back to forward…skating today with Brouwer and Madden.
More here:
Great job. Just the threat of having Buff up front will cause a distraction for Vancouver as they will spend time worrying about that instead of concentrating on more important things like putting the puck in the net. You can add that to the list of intangibles.
Feyer>thanks…I agree that Big Buff has the potential to be a decisive force with his move to the forward line.
Troy Brouwer is another player who, if he can get back to delivering the physical presence and scoring touch he showed this year, can also help tip the scales.
Al Cimaglia and I had an excellent conversation yesterday about this series. Al mentioned that it is very important for the Hawks to take the opening pair of games at home.
The Canucks are a better t-e-a-m this year; Chicago will have to have all hands on deck from the first drop of the puck…and not let up.

I finally told my husband how much hated the way the living room looked. I showed him a really bad drawing (cause I suck at drawing) of how I'd kinda like it to be. So we tried it with a few other changes he thought of as well. At first he was really unsure, he said it was the weirdest looking living room he had ever seen. - It's got personality lmfao.
But I loves it and now he likes it too. :D YAYE!

My hubs made fun of batman.
He is getting something VERY similar to this for Yule.
He knows he loves it.
And on a political note - everyone should have this right too.

My husband has agreed to try this, cuz I asked him so sweetly. :D

VIRGINIA GOP STATE SENATE CANDIDATE: A MARRIED WOMAN CAN'T BE RAPED BECAUSE, AFTER ALL, 'SHE'S IN A NIGHTIE' | Next Tuesday, Virginia voters will decide whether they want to elect former state Rep. David Black as a state senator. Luckily for Virginians, Black has a substantial record by which to judge him. In 2005, Black proposed investigating all Virginians to see if any Virginians adopting a child were gay. He is also well-known for sending plastic fetuses to lawmakers to advertise his anti-abortion stance. He also fought to allow pharmacies to refuse to sell birth control, or what he called "baby pesticides." But perhaps Black's shining moment came when he stood against the prosecution of spousal rape cases in 2002 because, after all, "how on earth could you validly get a conviction in a husband-wife rape when they're living together, sleeping in the same bed, she's in a nightie," he said. "There's no injury, there's no separation, or anything." (HT: Jezebel)
^^I told my husband this - he rolled his eyes, walked back into the kitchen and said that dude is an idiot.

You people are brain dead. Benghazi was not a consulate. It was a CIA operations center which was running guns from Libya through Turkey to the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood rebels fighting Assad. Now lets frame our questions around this information. 1. If not a consulate, why would it need military protection? 2. If running guns to terrorists, who want to kill us, is this not breaking some American law and why would we want to arm terrorists who want to kill us? 3. What is the over arching American interest in having the Muslim Brotherhood overthrow Assad? It would be interesting having Clinton and Obama under oath to answer these and other interesting questions about Benghazi.

This is a me on Tuesday, voting day. Yayyy for voting!
Millions of voters across America went out to vote this past week . And I can remember walking out of the voting place, feeling a sense of empowerment. I felt like I made a difference- like my voice was heard.
In the same way, God has called us to make a difference in certain God-ordained areas of our lives too. And it's easy to think that you don't have a gift. It's easy to think that your voice doesn't matter.
But be encouraged today. Know that you have rights. The enemy would have you to think that your voice doesn't matter. But God has given you a gift and appointed you to make a difference.
Think of something that you love to do. Maybe you have the gift of hospitality. Maybe you love to teach others. Maybe you like to entertain. There are areas that you can channel your gift in that will make a huge difference and change the lives of others.
Just like I felt on Tuesday, when you put your gifts and talents to use, you will feel a sense of empowerment- A sense of accomplishment. You will feel a sense of self-worth and importance. You will feel valued!
You've been adopted as a child of the most high God. And you've been given a great gift on the inside. What you have matters. Know that you can make a difference to many- many lives as you charge forth on your journey of life!
My Prayer for you:
May God awaken in you the gifts and potential that lie on the inside. May you come into the fullness and greatness that God has for you. May the good work that God has began in you be carried out in full and complete measures in Jesus' name, Amen!

Carbon Leakage with Forestation Policies
AbstractThis paper analyzes carbon leakage due to reduced emissions from deforestation (RED). We find that leakage with RED is good because the policy induces afforestation that contributes to a further carbon sequestration. By ignoring the domestic component of carbon leakage, the literature can either overestimate or underestimate leakage, depending on the magnitudes of the numerator and the denominator of the leakage formulas. Unlike the literature, we include the land and agricultural markets in the analysis of carbon leakage with forestation policies. In this model, carbon leakage depends on: (1) supply and demand elasticities of timber production and consumption, respectively in the country introducing a RED policy (Home country) and in the rest of the world; (2) Home country's production and consumption share in the world timber production and consumption, respectively; (3) prices of land and crop products in the Home country and the rest of the world; (4) initial allocation of land between forestry and agriculture; (5) share of total forest area set aside under RED; and (6) relative carbon sequestration potential of the forest planted on an afforested land and of the forest withdrawn from timber harvest. These potentials depend heavily on the forest species as well as on timing of the policy, and on the discount rate and time path of increasing carbon prices.

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Jeremy Guthrie tossed his second career shutout as the Kansas City Royals dismantled the Minnesota Twins, 13-0, in the opener of a three-game set at Kauffman Stadium.
Guthrie (12-7) scattered four hits and a walk while striking out seven to reach the 12-win plateau for the first time in his career. The right-hander also tossed a shutout on May 4 earlier this season.
Eric Hosmer went 3-for-5 with a homer and five RBI, while Billy Butler, Mike Moustakas and Alcides Escobar finished with two RBI apiece for the Royals, who are 14-3 since the All-Star break.
"It was the least stressful game of the season. It was literally stress-free. I can't remember a game all year that didn't have any stressful moments, but this game stress-free," Royals manager Ned Yost said.
Kevin Correia (7-8) was touched for six runs on seven hits in just two innings.
"Correia just didn't have it. He couldn't make a pitch and they were banging him early," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire. "We kind of hung in there, but they ended blowing the game open."
Kansas City scored six runs in the second inning. With the bases loaded, Lorenzo Cain walked to force in a run. Hosmer followed with a two-run single and Butler cracked an RBI single to make it 4-0. Moustakas capped the inning with a two-run single.
Hosmer cracked a three-run homer in the sixth to make it 9-0.
The Royals added four more in the seventh to account for the final margin. With two on and no outs, Escobar ripped a two-run single to center. After Jarrod Dyson grounded out, Justin Maxwell singled up the middle to bring Escobar around. Hosmer doubled to put runners in scoring position for Butler, who grounded out to short, but it was enough to score Maxwell to make it 13-0.
The win was Kansas City's largest margin of victory in a shutout since 1987

Kentucky fails to make the coal industry pay enough to clean up the environmental wreckage it leaves behind, according to the U.S. Office of Surface Mining. Kentucky lawmakers said Thursday the criticism is another example of President Barack Obama's "war on coal."
Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama have wholeheartedly embraced coal on the campaign trail, despite past statements from Romney and Vice President Joe Biden that pollution from coal-fired power plants kills people.
Kentucky Utilities and affiliated company Louisville Gas and Electric announced Monday that they expect to shut down three coal-fired electrical generation plants months ahead of schedule as part of their effort to comply with new federal environmental regulations.
Eastern Kentucky coal country is filled with people competing for nonexistent jobs, tied to the area by family and unable to sell their homes even if they want to leave.
Growing environmental objections to exporting coal from Washington state and Oregon have begun to endanger the coal industry's hope to restore its flagging fortunes by shipping much more of the embattled fossil fuel to China and India.
While proposals to turn green-leaning Washington state into a major exporter of coal to China have caused an uproar in coastal communities, the heated debate is largely absent from other places along the industry's expected trade route to Asia.
Duke Energy will close two of its oldest coal-fired power plants, Riverbend west of Charlotte and Buck in Rowan County in April, two years ahead of schedule. Both plants date to the 1920s and had been planned for retirement in 2015.
The U.S Army Corps of Engineers will not review the broader climate-change impacts of proposed coal export terminals in the Pacific Northwest, an agency official told Congress on Tuesday.
California dairy processors are still trying to squeeze a better deal from a big farm bill up for House debate this week.
The Internal Revenue Service diverted applications for tax-exempt status from tea party and like-minded organizations to a special track known as Group 7822 for special scrutiny, according to transcripts of an interview by congressional interrogators with a key IRS official.
The two federal prison inmates accused of killing a guard at the U.S. Penitentiary in Atwater, Calif., five years ago this week are now seeking to separate their trials.
A fight is brewing over President Barack Obama's efforts to fill three vacancies on a single federal court that Republicans claim doesn't do enough work to merit them.
The Supreme Court on Monday struck down an Arizona law requiring that people registering to vote in federal elections provide proof of U.S. citizenship.
If reports of political targeting of conservatives by the Internal Revenue Service shocked the nation, they didnt seem that surprising to many other groups who experienced problems with the tax agency in the past.
The actual cost of hospital care became a lot clearer for consumers on Wednesday when the Obama administration released the average prices charged by more than 3,000 U.S. hospitals for the 100 most common medical procedures.
The cost of health coverage under Obamacare remains one the biggest mysteries of the nation's health care overhaul. But nagging cost questions will slowly be answered this summer as insurers and state officials set 2014 health plan rates for people who buy coverage outside of work or purchase it through small employers.
Someone is watching you. What you spend. Where you eat. Whom you call. Where you travel. What you Google. Recent reports of government access to records from phone companies, Internet providers and credit card companies raise anew questions of just how much other people can know about you.
The American people are growing increasingly concerned about reports of domestic spying. And Congress isnt sure how to respond.
Sen. Mark Begich of Alaska is cosponsoring a bill that would end secret interpretations of the Patriot Act, which enabled the National Security Agency to collect billions of phone records from Americans.
The U.S. will sendmilitary support to Syrian rebels after finding the Syrian regime used chemical weapons on the opposition "multiple times," the White House said Thursday, escalating involvement in a civil war in which President Barack Obama has resisted military involvement.
Student loan rates will double to 6.8 percent on July 1 if Congress doesnt settle on a new plan soon, but disagreements flared Thursday, not only between the two parties, but between a veteran Democrat and President Barack Obama.
Congress will consider legislation Friday that could ease the way for thousands of Iraqis and Afghans to resettle in the United States to escape the dangers that come with their work for the U.S. military, news outlets and nonprofit groups.
The Senate intelligence committee chairman on Thursday vowed an effort to limit the access of government contract workers, such as Edward Snowden, to highly classified information.
Californias high-speed rail project can start rolling without waiting for potentially time-consuming approvals from a federal board, officials ruled Thursday.
While Sen. Marco Rubio may be among the most prominent faces of the immigration battle in Washington, there is another Cuban-American from Miami who has been almost as critical to guiding the contentious proposal through the perils of Capitol Hill.

The main body of the National Park is a high rolling plateau with a base elevation of about 2000 mts. Most of the knolls and peaks rise 100-300 mts. above it with some mountains reaching altitudes of over 2500mts.
The highest peak is Anaimudi(2690mts). The vast grasslands interspread with sholas (patches of stunted evergreen forests) are the last remnats of the unique ecosystem that was once prevalant in the upper reaches of the Western Ghats. The park is criss-crossed by perennial streams that originate in the sholas.
